You mean to tell me that the family had to hire an investigator because HPD didn't believe there was foul play involved after his been missing over 30 days!? What kinda sh"t is this!?
Yep. They sure enough did.
Being black
Believe it or not that’s sadly how cases get solved. It’s trifling but, I’ve seen several cases move forward with PI.
Yeah that's true, he is a black guy, white police department. Don't care about looking for him. Because he is not a black criminal. So they don't care about him.
30 days with no new evidence of a kidnapping. Very important detail.
I love how both kids moms got together and went to work
That seems normal. The mothers shouldn't have an issue. The children should be friends, they are siblings.
That is definitely not normal. With men or woman.
Both of his kids mother’s stood 10 toes on business. If it weren’t for them, this case would still be sitting on the back burner.
Where there's unity, there's strength.
✨Oh my goodness! These beautiful Mothers! If I had known, I would have spread the word 💗⚖️💗
Someone dropped the ball here! I hope this man is found alive.
They found his body on the side of a highway
@@Tootie-125How sad. 😢
@@Tootie-125I was going to say that when someone goes missing especially a man. The odds are he died pretty much before he was even known to be missing. 😢
@@Tootie-125That was actually a different man, 57 year old Emmanuel Moncoeur, in Queens NY. He was actually also a realtor. I can’t imagine they’re related being so far away, but definitely uncanny coincidence. Reported missing in early January and also likely ignored based on the article I read. Now sadly definitely a homicide.
@Tootie-125 heartfelt condolences to his family.
The real estate business is so dangerous. I used to be the real estate agent, I had one client he would call me around when sun down to show him houses that were in very dangerous areas. One night, he called me around 12 am. asking if I was available. After that, I dropped him and stopped answering his call. As a real estate agent, you want to believe everyone who calls you about a house that they are potential buyers!
Shit they Was plotting on u, couldnt you have your man or maybe a male relative near by to make sure safe would have that helped??
I am not sure what his occupation has to do with him freely walking into a liquor store. That said I agree with you especially for female agents. I used to tell them google the individuals before you meet. Make sure they are who they say they are and their 'story' checks out. If any of that is not in line bring a male agent with you to the first meeting or two.
@@BiglordDbigeye who her male relative is? superman? lol it would not be worth the risk she made the right choice just move on to the next client
@@traderipswe have a system now where we can look up criminal history by name & phone number
There are cases where a female realtor was lured to a house by a man for the purpose of having a victim and a safe location.
Prayers for him and the whole family!
💗🙏💗
I hope someone has contacted Black and Missing. That organization helps to locate our people and brown people. 🙏🏿
Yes
Stop including brown people
@ImaniBelle-tu5nu why?
@@Wijewelsbecause they don’t want to be included
What about red people, yellow people, white people, or mixed-race people?
Stay racist, bro.
It is a testament to who Mr. Dumas is as a person and a Father that his children’s Mothers stepped up to advocate for him 🙏 Jesus 👏👏👏🙌🕊
All Realtors showing a house or an apartment in any area should have someone with them at all times
yup always i would never do it alone.
He obviously was a great guy/good provider as the mothers of his children knew something was wrong. Sometimes police don't do their job because they don't really care about the victims just certain ones. So sad...😢
Facts
😢
The police have something called "protocol". Stop saying they didn't do their job because you're wrong. And babymommas always coming are always defending their baby daddies, nothing new here.
He was a great guy?! They always put people in the most positive light. I know he has two baby mama's, wasn't paying child support, to one of them, etc.! What's the other side of the story?
@@MELINDADHERBERT The baby👶🏽mommas also knew their babydaddy was in the streets.
It’s ashamed how the police handled the case
*a shame
Gross incompetence causes people to loose their lives 😢
💗⚖️💗
First, it's ashame, Secondly the police department did their job! You don't know what their side of the story is!
@EnubeeStyle Know the facts first, before you judge LE!
I pray he is found alive and is reunited to his loved one🙏
Five people charged? This is very bizarre.
✨ Exactly!!! Wow!💗⚖️💗
Why would he be kidnapped? I am confused, a grown man???
@ right and the police took this kind to do something? SMH
@@dar7230 maybe should have said abducted? Since he’s an adult
Meant to say took their time
He must have been a pretty good guy for both of his kids moms to care at this level💯
Wrong. Just wrong. Having two baby mama's should tell you something and not paying child support to one of them! Sounds like a great guy!
@@amyrichardson142 Troll, get out. He is a good guy. Go fix your broken heart.
Dear Lord, praying for his safe return. My prayers are out to the family. 🙏🏻
💗🙏💗
Sheri, ask yourself if he'd be concerned if this were YOU - no! Y'all need to stop & foxus on yourself! Wake thUP! You care too mich & KEEP DYING at the hands of the one u over-sympathize with.
They ain't looking for no missing black man! The family trying to be nice but that's 100% what it is!
Unless he was Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan or OJ.
@@fitnessbabe7958- Not OJ 😂
🤦🏿
@@brandonruise5099 Right! And they made sure that the public knew it too. smh
Facts, THEY don't look for missing Black children/women so it's nothing for Black men😤🤬
Thank you for covering this story.
🙏
This should make NATIONAL NEWS! Prayers !🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 don’t stop looking for your love one’s I pray that God continue to give them strength to fight on his behalf.
Praying for your safety sir❤
They didn’t care that 3 little children were missing their father and he wouldn’t just disappear from them 😢
I think someone hurt him and is hiding his body.
Yes, I am sorry 😞 I believe he's gone.
I think he was set up by the 2 woman 😢😢😢😢 it has been happening so often these days .
@@natashatimothy9022Yes yes it’s happens more then ppl realize, folks setting ppl up!
Folks? You mean literally demons!
Just wondering what they wanted from him. Was it robbery or vendetta for something. So many unanswered questions. Hope he’s found safe
Omgoodness! I pray he’s found alive, safe and unharmed ❤️🙏🏽🫶🏽
Praying that Ronald is found safe and returned to his family! 🤲🏽
Im glad the mothers and community helped the families! Sad story but praying for his safety and I hope the perpetrators get caught
This makes me hesitant of studying to become a realtor! I believe it can be very dangerous
There is nothing in the report that indicates his abduction had anything to do with his job. He didn’t hpgeg abducted from a house he was listing or showing. He disappeared from a liquor store
He was seen with 2 women. It seems like a set up
@@joytoyouandme4593….IT’s VERY DANGEROUS ⛔️⚠️‼️AS A WOMAN ESPECIALLY ‼️⛔️⚠️
Hopefully you can take someone with you AT ALL TIMES!! If that’s your passion!! Be safe out there sweetie‼️
You're joking right? In my 30 years of being an adult. The is the 1st time that I have ever seen an incident like this involving a realtor.
54 Days what !!! The police lame asf !
Trafficking. People realllly sleep on it!
Family needs to sue that no good police dept!!!
You are ridiculous! Sue for what?! Law enforcement was doing all they could and still are, you misinformed and uneducated imbecile!
How incredibly sad!
He was set up from the start. His kidnappers thought he had money so they used the women to lure him.
The law enforcement are handling this case rather strange.
Damn I got a feeling Ima be coming back here to say RIP. But I Pray he’s found safe!!🙏🏼 those poor kids!
I pray pray they find him, my son is probably alittle younger but I just could not imagine🙏🏼🙏🏼
At this point he is sadly probably no longer here
NAW THERE IS MORE TO THIS STORY-LINE AS WELL
Yup, I posted about this on the first video they posted yet it was ignored
He was a victim of human trafficking.
Truth
Being with 2 Women in the liquor store 🤔
Absolutely! The missing person was involved in some sketchy activities!
The police never take us seriously when we make a report that our loved ones are missing.
Cry oogabooga cry lol.
@@mickeydooley2230you just don't have nothing else to do huh? 😂😂 like is this helping you in life?.you literally wasting time, finding comments to respond ignorantly to. That's a sign of attention seeking? Are you lonely? Is your dog missing? Just bizarre 😳
@@mickeydooley2230 🤡
They have no reason to care but they have more than enough reasons to not care
Absolutely unacceptable. This family needs to find an attorney and sue their butts. He will most likely not be found alive after almost two months.
Real life demons among us…
Again the police has dropped the ball. The family will solve this before the police. I pray for him that somehow he’s still alive. I pray for his family too 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
LMAO! 😊
Praying for safe return and rhe family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen!
Praying they find this young man. 🙏🏻♥️
Let it be a ceo 🙄they would of shut the entire city down
I was thinking about being a real estate agent and was told I would be a great one, but for some reason my mind kept getting forced away from the possibility of it and now I know why. Thank you Lord for always saving me ❤🙏🏾
The police dropped the ball big time on this one
Prayers he is found safe
Why are some of us so HATEFUL towards one another?? Don't we have ENOUGH coming at us from the outside world? TF.
YOU are the hatefulness of the outside world, we live in a decent civilized society until yours FORCES DIVERSITY ON US
The culture is what is coming at you. Not the outside world.
he will be n my prayers from now on🙏🏽 I add a new person every day it seems ... it's unlikely he is alive though after all this time with no contact to loved ones ...& they didn't ask for ransom so no reason to keep him alive... I'll just ask God to take care of him🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 wherever he is🥰
How strange another real estate agent who was also a black man was found dead on the side of a highway in Queens just a few days ago as well, it is a huge coincidence if not related.
😮what
Ooga on booga crime.
@ yeah his name was Emmanuel Moncoeur
@@mickeydooley2230 You love that word. It lives in your head. So who's the oogabooga? 🤡
It’s not that huge of a coincidence- there are over 2 M realtors in the US. Over 1,600 people go missing everyday. That’s over 88 thousand in 54 days.
We are not typically viewed as victims or even potential victims of something like kidnapping. Only perpetrators of the same. Hopefully he will be found.
Real Demons out Here 💔🙏🏾💔🙏🏾
LGBT wing of the black community
I’m sad to say he’s gone and this will become a recovery. He’s been gone bcus they panicked.
Im so sick of black families having to literally beg the police for help to find our missing loved ones .He has been missing for 54 days with police brushing the family off.wtf! This is exactly why black people are often victims of crimes like this because of the police refusing to take us seriously!
Exactly and they really don’t care
Are you serious blks demanded defund the police
Half or more of the police force is blk
Learn how to use the word literally, correctly!
Black folks have to utilize and form our own investigative services , which is unfortunate because we live in a country where we are required to pay taxes and should have the same access to speedy action by law enforcement. Hopefully this man is still alive!
so help me understand why.....do people do this because they can get to live in the home once kidnapping is done....I mean, what is there to achieve from this
I was wondering the same ..or maybe thinks he has alot of money 💰
😢 everybody going crazy
I 100% agree with Moms!! Huntsville is a bad place to be for the most part.
The ppl make it what it is.
What a shame
$$10,000 somebody will talk
Youll never "see " evidence, when you never looked, smh
Abducted really?! Yall know damn well whats going on
Bad people hang out around liquor stores.
You know it! Why was he even in the liquor store with two women? I already know. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He lost.
Got him for money. You making money, you have to be careful people will take it from you.
The legal system sometimes fails to deliver justice, leaving victims' families devastated. 💔
So they abducted him to get his bank cards & drain his acct?
I hate they cant get the footage because they were moving too slow.. But why have auto erase?! SMH!
Small business operation would have to buy more tapes, disks, and/ or just equipment to record 24/7 plus additional physical storage space or cloud space which gets costly. If nothing dramatic happens like theft, or car crashing into gas pump, then it makes sense to overwrite data.
It’s a common practice to clear old content but I guess depending on the hard drive size the amount of time between recycling would differ. I’d think you would want to keep tapes (“recordings”) for at least 6 months to avoid something like this. Issues can arise after 30 days or more sometimes where you might want to review a recording.
@@freakywayne8790 30 days I had to call corporate on autozone on a manger to review the tape to get my money back on some items they have me my money back after reviewing the tape he was wrong
A person missing for 54 days is less likely to be found alive. There has been no ransom demands so, what would be the purpose of keeping the hostage alive?
HPD seem shady and uncaring. I'm sure race plays a huge part in this.
You can not keep a person that long with out food and water
I am so very sorry for your loss.
As they should sue every last one
For what something is wrong with these two females I think the cops looking at one or both being involved. They said four more besides the five these two and possibly they current boyfriends or girlfriends.
Oh my gosh.. I hope he is found safe soon!!
Why would anyone want to harm this young man just trying to make a living for himself?!
They are low down and envious
Praying for him to be found safe and for those who are responsible for abducting him to speak the truth!!!!
Damn the police there are not so bright
Or just don't care.
Or overwhelmed
@@samapples6722 😑
Probably all the above 😮
@ agree! It's sad
Why did it take so long before they checked cctv cameras and bank accounts? Not acceptable!
Something smells something smells real bad😪
I Pray He be found alive
And well.❤️🙏
It’s ashame it took the police so long to get real! Prayers to family and friends ❤!
Why do reporters bounce when they speak? It's silly.
I think they teach that to somehow keep our attention.
@ENTme
Most likely. They teach annoyance
Why is this Huntsville Ala bama police de part ment. Why i do de clare! They probably wouldn't know the difference between a dead body and a mannequin. Small town police department had 4 people from the big city of Memphis TN probably getting rich running rings under the noses of Huntsville's Keystone cops who assume that a missing Black man probably ran off with two more women. and, shucks Huntsville police didn't want to waste their time investigating a missing person report of a young Black man. Meanwhile, and seriously this sounds like what happened to former Memphis NBA player Lorenzen Wright who was murdered. Memphis police tracked his cell phone to various places but it was too late.
Keyboard warrior! 😅
December this is Febuary
This world is very sad, hopeless 💔 there is a flood in this land who are the people listening too 🙏🏾 for years Realtors have been targeted and have lost their lives 🙏🏾
Prayers for this missing father and his distraught family! May God bless them all. His children need him. 😥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Praying for his safe return!
I believe they set up, I hope he's alive so sad get all and who's ever involved.
Omg I thought he was found. Prayers from the 256 to the 256
Praying for closer and his safe return home🙏🏽🙏🏽
Omg I’m sending God speed and prayer that her will be home alive and expeditiously

54 days dam
Track all known vehicles and get all camera videos in the direction they were seen leaving taking him away from the liquor store.
A damn shame the police didn't take him being missing seriously! I pray for all his loved ones, especially his children. I hope they get answers as he's likely not alive anymore. I'd talk to a medium/psychic before depending on the police.
Yes. They really need to change the process regarding surveillance footage. Businesses should not have a say on when authorities are allowed to access surveillance. That should be available on demand. Especially since surveillance is typically over written after a certain amount of time. I know this to be a fact because the last time I was burglarized, I was told that HPD had to wait until the store gave them permission to view the surveillance. That is absolutely bogus if you ask me!
Dec 15 wow
Sending prayers for him and his family both mom's and his children
He’s Black so justice is very slow or becomes a cold case. Smh. Prayers Up Folks!! Amen
This is sad. I hope he’s okay.
He was paying to play with that gil she set him up wish is sad
It does feel like he was set up especially when you see a lot of women involved he trusted one of them and they knife 🔪 him
@gahitta2149 He was set up probably online

I'm praying for this family and that he will be found soon and safe
