I'm going to say it again: "she just walked off and I never seen her again" is the stupidest, most unrealistic, and most overdone excuse ever when someone is trying to get away with murder. It didn't fucking happen, he's a liar.
There's so many holes in that story you could drive an RV through it! I don't know any woman that would stay in the woods cold, muddy and wet overnight. She's most likely out there but not by choice.
I'm not defending any of those men but I am from a very small town like that and I'm a big country girl like her and that's all we ever do is have bon fires and ride 4 wheelers and get muddy we have been in the woods for 3 days before trying to get unstuck out of gas. We love mud and getting dirty.

He didn't say anything about a nice cozy bonfire to keep them warm, he said they used the engines of atv's to stay warm which is ridulous in itself.
oh rachel, you deserve so many more subscribers. you work so hard to get out a quality video every week and you always do. it's amazing how consistent you are with your busy life. i really appreciate and love you and your videos!!
I wonder why Ren told his mom that his dad did something bad to Samantha? But both Ren and Dusty his father are covering for each other? So many questions about these two...could the authorities be scared of this family or be involved in the drug world with Ren and Dusty? I hope they find her soon...so sad 😢
U are seriously mt favorite as of lately. Im subscribed to about 20 true crime channels and im hooked. I play u on the smart TV or through my phone or through the radio when driving. Ur thr reason for my youtube premium. U stay in my ears...
Rachel, i agree with you. I think dusty wanted to have sex with Samantha and she rejected his advances, so he killed her and buried her deep in the woods. I also think Ren knew Dusty was going to do what he did to her and didn't realize Dusty was serious about it and when found out it actually happened he freaked out and wanted to die.
I agree but I feel like Ren went into the woods for 5 days and losing her stuff was him ridding possible evidence. Plus, why would you leave her with DUSTY? Of all people, on a ride in the woods? He definitely was high but, somehow angry enough to go home? All a sketchy choice, almost gives me 'ain't no fun if the homies can't have none' vibes. Then... he freaks out and calls moms? A lot of these murderers try to kill themselves during investigations so I'm definitely looking at him and bunker guy sideways!
😞 It makes me so angry how the media picks and chooses which cases they feel are worthy of airtime!! 😡 Sadly, it all has to do with what they feel will bring in the most ratings, which is absolutely DISGUSTING if you ask me!! EVERY case should be given the same amount of coverage.
@@RachelShannon Thank you for covering this case. This happened near me. I've tried to get every UA-camr possible to cover it. The sheriff's dept at the time didn't do enough. The only local coverage was for about a week after she disappeared and last year when there was a new sheriff sworn in. John Lordan did a video as well. Thank you both so much!
I havent even listened yet. I just seen the headline. This is one town away from me and I have really wanted it to be covered because it could be solved if the pressure was up and more awareness given.. Thank you so much!!
Yes I do too! I hate drugs, if she hadn’t started using again she would be home with them right now. The pain of growing up without her is just so sad.
I don’t know how you are in school, doing clinicals, and still finding time to make these thorough videos every week. Thanks for shedding light on this one, I hope she gets justice
I definitely believe Dusty and Ren did something to her and I don't think it was accidental either there's something strange going on in that town and I think there are more people that know something
The entire story makes no sense.. who leaves their gf at their dad’s no phone call or anything, until the next day. Also, who stays in the woods ALL NIGHT leaving the 4wheelers running until the gas runs out. Makes no sense. Would you not go get help or a truck to pull the 4wheelers out?
I lived near neighboring McCracken county and worked in Paducah I remember this case. I think that both men know exactly what happened to her. Prayers with the family that they find closure. ❤️
Fyi: At least in california, we have "good samaritan laws" where you are protected from charges if in the event somebody is over dosing, you can call 911 and get them the help they need. These laws save lives. In fact if its found you were present and denied help you will face charges.
A couple years ago, my childhood friend went missing but she was a heroin user so police barely did anything to look for her. She was missing for 7 days before her own MOTHER found her body in the woods outside of a drug house. Disgusting. Just because someone uses/used drugs doesn’t mean they’re not someone’s child 😔
Her sister was my childhood best friend. We grew up in the area and I was living in the area when she "disappeared". You don't get lost when you spend your whole life there. It's a small community. We know everyone that lives around there. Everyone in our hometown knows who Dusty is and they think he killed her. And I hope, for the sake of her family, that she is found and there is justice. Thank you for covering. She deserves better.
It seems as though she would have taken HER car and then gone to HER home. Very, very ,very fishy. Those two ere in cahoots in harming her and geting rid of hrr body. The bunker guy helped, too. I think that he was so covered in mud to possibly hide blood. Thoughts and prayers go out to her children and family. God bless you, Samantha!💖Mary from FL. Great job, Rachael. Thank you!!!
6 years clean is pretty good for a drug addict I personally feel like foul play is involved here why did the bf leave her there yet go back to her house weird also why did he automatically think it was his father
@@harpergrace5846 and everyone isnt like youre dad either. You can't generalize when it comes to something as complex as human nature, addiction and mental health. Also, its foul play. Fowl is birds.
@@Andrea1542 I absolutely know how complex addiction is I was only using it as an example and the other part was a typo since my iPad is being stupid thanks for pointing it out I just love people like you on UA-cam
Thank you for sharing this case, just wanted to add that when you were speaking about her relapse with Meth and how addicts go back to using the same amount as they used before when they had a tolerance and then overdosing this is most commonly found to happen with IV heroin/fentanyl users to overdose in this manner not likely with Meth addicts. Overdosing on Meth unless injecting A LOT- is difficult. Over amping occurs where the body and brain shut down causing ppl to pass out and then wake up hours later. But never have I seen of heard of anyone dying strictly from Meth use alone. I’ve heard of seizures and strokes after long periods of prolonged use which doesn’t seem likely with her just relapsing. All 3 men did something to her :( it’s a tragedy.
The thing with the possibilities that people think could habe happened is that why did dusty tell the cops that she was with renn when he went into the woods?? When he himself reported her missing and if he knew renn was going into the woods why didnt he follow him unless he didnt know renns plan on killin himself but still why he lie? If he has nothing to hide? I wouldnt be suprised if all of them was in on it! Not her but the men.. That dusty man lied for a reason.. That renn guy was hidin out n that bunker or like was said another one or other hiding places.. Because if u think about it he knew there was a bunker atleast that one where his fam member was so why would he just be stayin out in the elements?? He was on a meth binge.. They all know something!!
RACHEL PLEASE READ!!!! i have never seen any true crime youtuber cover this case and it makes me sad that no one knows about it. in my town, (westfield, indiana, USA) there was a serial killer named herb baumeister who killed at least 11 people (maybe even 20) in the 90s. it’s super interesting and i’d love for you to cover it and help get the story out there cause the victims and their families seem to get no attention. i really hope you read this and consider it. thank you❤️❤️
It baffles me how these town/city/state police stations still continue to fuck around when it comes to missing people due to them escorting or using drugs or dealing drugs even though everything is SO publicized and these cops get fire under the ass for stuff like that and people end up dead because of it. Like what are they thinking.
Sorry, to tell u this. I'm from a very rural area. The police and everyone in that town know who killed her, and the whole story. They just aren't going to do anything about it.
I’m sure because they are an informant! I see this far too often in my small town.. law enforcement take care of their informants over people who are in literal danger ⛔️
I'm interested to see the outcome of this case......I think that the guys had something to do with her disappearance. I definitely agree with your theory 100%
Here’s my theory. Ren had plans to spend the night at Samantha’s house that night. He was ready to leave but she wanted to stay and ride the atvs so he got mad and went to her place thinking his Dad would bring her home later. He prob fell asleep and woke up to find she never came home. He went back to his Dad’s house. He knew his Dad’s story made no sense so he either thought they had had sex or his Dad had done something to her, depending on how much he trusted either one of them. If he though his Dad had slept with her, that would have been enough of a betrayal for him to want to end it especially with how mentally unstable meth can make you. I completely feel that Dusty did it alone. I think that he prob did try to sleep with her and she declined him so he attacked her. I don’t believe Ren had anything to do with her death. It was Dusty who made up the story and Dusty who burned his phones and made up the bs story. Innocent people don’t burn their phones.
So our area (Graves Co ky) is riddled with trafficking. Wren and dusty sold her, left her in the woods in a bunker that the sheriff at the time helped make and then someone comes at 3am and takes the women/children to where ever tf they take them and then never seen again. She was a very good friend from high school.
Sounds like a father son murder team. Why burn cellphones; only for sinister reasons that I can think of. Also, if these people lived in this area why did they get lost so easily. This all seems so shady. Unless someone talks, or her body is found, I don't see this being solved. There is just too much unknown.
They did it. Shes in the woods. NO DOUBT. How ridiculous was the Dads story! Seriously... Actually both of their stories are moronic. LE I’m sure knows it’s them but no evidence means no charges. What a shame💔
Just wanted to say... family members are not the best judge of if someone is suicidal. Families NEVER want to believe that option and are likely to chase every conspiracy theory because it's more comforting to have a target to blame rather than face the truth. Several cases where suicide happen and the family still refuses to believe it.
Im a recovering addict and it terrifies me to think that if i went missing the police wouldnt take it seriously and could miss the opportunity to possibly save my life
As soon as you mentioned Ren going to Samantha's house and her staying to ride at atvs I knew something wasn't right. Idk if Ren was involved but I definitely feel that dusty killed her. His entire story doesn't make sense. My prayers are with her family.
I have said earlier that I believe they all were using and she may have accidentally overdose and the men panicked. That is just my thought. I don't know, but either way I feel the men know where she is and what happened to her.
The thing is... you can’t exactly overdose on meth. It’s a lot harder than opiates. You’d have to do a whoooole lot. It jus doesn’t.. make sense. Meth is a big thing around here. People overdosing on meth isn’t. Meth psychosis is. But not meth overdoses.
Ren or Dusty killed her at Dustys house while Ren was strung out on meth. They both buried her in the woods that night. What a shady, scary, secretive area full of criminals and meth. Samantha was a part of all that as well. Bad lifestyle, bad company, bad things happen.
Who dislikes these? Rachel's videos are informative and helpful. I can only hope that Samantha is alive but she's probably not. There must be several hiding spots, if she is dead she's in one of them. I think they did it hopefully they can solve the case.
Sometimes when someone relapses, they aren’t struggling with anything at all. Sometimes life is going so great that a person’s addiction tells them a little drugging won’t hurt, you’ve got this! Just goes to show that it’s not always so black and white, I definitely think foul play is involved here sadly
Well meth can make people psychotic, or she could have overdosed. By the same token they were all on meth and one of the men could have snapped and killed her. There had to have been a reason Ren thought his father, Dusty did something terrible. This is one crazy weird story with the one being gone for 5 days. I think you are right about them both being involved .
I hope and pray they find her,and for the cops to act like oh shes ok she's high somewhere.Like just because she relapsed and did drugs shes not important that makes me so mad the police could have lost crucial evidence because of that.ughhhhh it makes me mad.People make mistakes,and she wouldn't leave her babies behind.
I find it pretty significant that Ren suspected his father immediately. Dusty’s story makes absolutely no sense. I grew up and live in a rural area of Alabama where riding ATV’s is common. Yet this story Dusty has told is ridiculous. I pray there is justice for her and answers for her family. Thank you Rachel for covering these cases that need more attention on them. Great work.
when you are on meth, you are not thinking strait . There is so many things that could have gone wrong. oddly she looks a lot like my cousin Samantha, who also had issues with drug abuse. Its a little eerie to be honest. I hope more is uncovered.
This.. after being in a horrible relationship with someone who does meth its easy to say that families really don't know what the person on drugs would do. Even so it definitely seems like the guys are all involved.
I think Dusty killed her and left her lying in the woods. Then Dusty told Ren that her body was in the woods, Ren went out to try to find her and get rid of her body. He stayed there for several days. That's why her keys made it back to the woods.
So I think Rhen and his dad are both involved. IF the keys were really found by the ATV, how could Rhen have driven her car around after? Rhen did an interview about all this and contradicts himself. He says he passed a lie detector test but his dad's wasn't passing. He says he doesn't know where the ATV was found as he "doesn't go over that area much." But describes the exact location. What I found most notable is he says straight out that he doesn't believe his dad's story and that he knows something but then says he doesn't think he's involved as "she got into something before" and that "they were being followed". If he thought it was important enough to take her things into the woods, why would he have lost them? I also think it is odd that the uncle was at the house and if Rhen is telling any of the truth "kicked Rhen off the property".
I don't know did they cooperate to harm her or not but they most likely did something disgusting 😒 its so obvious and disturbing. She was so beautiful and i wish she didn't give into drugs..
I think one thing that is lost on everyone is that there is a distinct difference in a mother of 3 that has no known risky behavior other than driving her kids to school and back on the same route versus a meth addict. Not that a meth addict shouldn’t be looked for but police don’t have unlimited resources. They have to prioritize cases based on staffing, budgets etc. it’s great to think all of that is unlimited but it’s not. In an age where millions are calling for the police to be defunded 🙄 maybe we should consider that we don’t know what the police department had going on. It’s a fact that drug addicts do routinely drop off the radar unlike a non drug addict mother of 3 like maya milliete. I guess what I’m saying is that it’s easy to coach from the sidelines. We should all remember that when we relentlessly criticize law enforcement for everything that they do.
NOTHING about that "ATV ride" sounds legit.
I'm going to say it again: "she just walked off and I never seen her again" is the stupidest, most unrealistic, and most overdone excuse ever when someone is trying to get away with murder. It didn't fucking happen, he's a liar.
There's so many holes in that story you could drive an RV through it! I don't know any woman that would stay in the woods cold, muddy and wet overnight. She's most likely out there but not by choice.

Here’s my theory. Ren had plans to spend the night at Samantha’s house that night. He was ready to leave but she wanted to stay and ride the atvs so he got mad and went to her place thinking his Dad would bring her home later. He prob fell asleep and woke up to find she never came home. He went back to his Dad’s house. He knew his Dad’s story made no sense so he either thought they had had sex or his Dad had done something to her, depending on how much he trusted either one of them. If he though his Dad had slept with her, that would have been enough of a betrayal for him to want to end it especially with how mentally unstable meth can make you. I completely feel that Dusty did it alone. I think that he prob did try to sleep with her and she declined him so he attacked her. I don’t believe Ren had anything to do with her death. It was Dusty who made up the story and Dusty who burned his phones and made up the bs story. Innocent people don’t burn their phones.
So our area (Graves Co ky) is riddled with trafficking. Wren and dusty sold her, left her in the woods in a bunker that the sheriff at the time helped make and then someone comes at 3am and takes the women/children to where ever tf they take them and then never seen again. She was a very good friend from high school.
Sounds like a father son murder team. Why burn cellphones; only for sinister reasons that I can think of. Also, if these people lived in this area why did they get lost so easily. This all seems so shady. Unless someone talks, or her body is found, I don't see this being solved. There is just too much unknown.
They did it. Shes in the woods. NO DOUBT. How ridiculous was the Dads story! Seriously... Actually both of their stories are moronic. LE I’m sure knows it’s them but no evidence means no charges. What a shame💔
Just wanted to say... family members are not the best judge of if someone is suicidal. Families NEVER want to believe that option and are likely to chase every conspiracy theory because it's more comforting to have a target to blame rather than face the truth. Several cases where suicide happen and the family still refuses to believe it.
Im a recovering addict and it terrifies me to think that if i went missing the police wouldnt take it seriously and could miss the opportunity to possibly save my life
Soon as I heard she disappeared shortly after they broken up. 🤔
Dusty sounded guilty when he said they stayed in the woods 🥴
As soon as you mentioned Ren going to Samantha's house and her staying to ride at atvs I knew something wasn't right. Idk if Ren was involved but I definitely feel that dusty killed her. His entire story doesn't make sense. My prayers are with her family.
I have said earlier that I believe they all were using and she may have accidentally overdose and the men panicked. That is just my thought. I don't know, but either way I feel the men know where she is and what happened to her.
The thing is... you can’t exactly overdose on meth. It’s a lot harder than opiates. You’d have to do a whoooole lot. It jus doesn’t.. make sense. Meth is a big thing around here. People overdosing on meth isn’t. Meth psychosis is. But not meth overdoses.
Ren or Dusty killed her at Dustys house while Ren was strung out on meth. They both buried her in the woods that night. What a shady, scary, secretive area full of criminals and meth. Samantha was a part of all that as well. Bad lifestyle, bad company, bad things happen.
Who dislikes these? Rachel's videos are informative and helpful. I can only hope that Samantha is alive but she's probably not. There must be several hiding spots, if she is dead she's in one of them. I think they did it hopefully they can solve the case.
I’m sorry but she’s obviously dead. There is absolutely no way she is alive
@@katelyngille8541 Then hopefully they can find out what happened to her
Sometimes when someone relapses, they aren’t struggling with anything at all. Sometimes life is going so great that a person’s addiction tells them a little drugging won’t hurt, you’ve got this! Just goes to show that it’s not always so black and white, I definitely think foul play is involved here sadly
Well meth can make people psychotic, or she could have overdosed. By the same token they were all on meth and one of the men could have snapped and killed her. There had to have been a reason Ren thought his father, Dusty did something terrible. This is one crazy weird story with the one being gone for 5 days. I think you are right about them both being involved .
I hope and pray they find her,and for the cops to act like oh shes ok she's high somewhere.Like just because she relapsed and did drugs shes not important that makes me so mad the police could have lost crucial evidence because of that.ughhhhh it makes me mad.People make mistakes,and she wouldn't leave her babies behind.
I find it pretty significant that Ren suspected his father immediately. Dusty’s story makes absolutely no sense. I grew up and live in a rural area of Alabama where riding ATV’s is common. Yet this story Dusty has told is ridiculous. I pray there is justice for her and answers for her family. Thank you Rachel for covering these cases that need more attention on them. Great work.
when you are on meth, you are not thinking strait . There is so many things that could have gone wrong.
oddly she looks a lot like my cousin Samantha, who also had issues with drug abuse. Its a little eerie to be honest.
I hope more is uncovered.
This.. after being in a horrible relationship with someone who does meth its easy to say that families really don't know what the person on drugs would do. Even so it definitely seems like the guys are all involved.
I detest when police dismiss missing people
I think Dusty killed her and left her lying in the woods. Then Dusty told Ren that her body was in the woods, Ren went out to try to find her and get rid of her body. He stayed there for several days. That's why her keys made it back to the woods.

So I think Rhen and his dad are both involved. IF the keys were really found by the ATV, how could Rhen have driven her car around after? Rhen did an interview about all this and contradicts himself. He says he passed a lie detector test but his dad's wasn't passing. He says he doesn't know where the ATV was found as he "doesn't go over that area much." But describes the exact location. What I found most notable is he says straight out that he doesn't believe his dad's story and that he knows something but then says he doesn't think he's involved as "she got into something before" and that "they were being followed". If he thought it was important enough to take her things into the woods, why would he have lost them? I also think it is odd that the uncle was at the house and if Rhen is telling any of the truth "kicked Rhen off the property".
Your face in the thumbnail Rachel 😂
This case is likely going to be overshadowed now given what happened in Graves county almost a year ago.
Justice for samantha. Dusty was the last person who saw her
I don't know did they cooperate to harm her or not but they most likely did something disgusting 😒 its so obvious and disturbing. She was so beautiful and i wish she didn't give into drugs..

Ok Dusty talk about a fishy story.
IT DOES NOT SOUND RITE ALREADYYY
I think one thing that is lost on everyone is that there is a distinct difference in a mother of 3 that has no known risky behavior other than driving her kids to school and back on the same route versus a meth addict. Not that a meth addict shouldn’t be looked for but police don’t have unlimited resources. They have to prioritize cases based on staffing, budgets etc. it’s great to think all of that is unlimited but it’s not. In an age where millions are calling for the police to be defunded 🙄 maybe we should consider that we don’t know what the police department had going on. It’s a fact that drug addicts do routinely drop off the radar unlike a non drug addict mother of 3 like maya milliete. I guess what I’m saying is that it’s easy to coach from the sidelines. We should all remember that when we relentlessly criticize law enforcement for everything that they do.
