My First Video on Alissa Turney: • WHERE IS Alissa Turney...
Sarah Turney on Mile Higher: • Unsolved Disappearance...
Defenders of Children: defendersofchildren.org/
In today's video, I sat down with Sarah Turney, sister of Alissa Turney, and we talked about everything that's happened leading up to and following her sister's murder trial, where their father was the accused. Shockingly, Michael Turney was acquitted after a lack of preparation from the prosecution. She also shared some personal details about how she's been exploited by 20/20 and other content creators and how it's shaped her views on true crime. Tune in for a very emotional yet very important conversation.

Hi! Sarah Turney here. I just wanted to jump in and say thank you to Kendall and thank you to everyone leaving kind comments in this chat. The love and support from this community mean the world to me. 💜
So brave ❤
💜@@kaitlyndeclairex
So happy to hear how the past 3 years have been. I'm really sorry about the incompetent solicitors representing your sister. From the bottom of my heart I hope she is found soon. Stay blessed ❤
Your freaking awesome!! @SaraTurney
Hey Sarah, you are such a wonderful person, you deserve all the good in the world. Thank you for sharing what a brave, strong and kind person Alisa was with all of us and I hope so much there will be justice for her one day. My heart broke to a million pieces when I saw the title of this video but I believe anyone who's had a chance to hear your side of the story can see things for what they truly are. I hope more people can get to know you and show their support to help move this case closer to justice ❤️❤️❤️
DO NOT SAY you could have done more for your sister, Sarah. Out of the hundreds of cases I’ve watched over the years, no one has worked as hard and as tirelessly as you have. You set the bar. You truly are a wonderful person and your sister knows how hard you worked for her. Don’t ever discount your efforts. You’re a rockstar!
No little girl/daughter (of sound mind) would EVER call her dad a pervert, without having proper cause. I stand firm on my opinion. I’m in awe of her little sisters love and devotion to her big sis 🥰
Especially while specifically knowing they were being filmed
And then Michael responding that "Alissa is a stupid moron" when he noticed the camera was still recording to "discredit" her? He's absolutely deranged to believe that would be a reasonable response to his young stepdaughter.
@@KrislonRyes why didn’t he say anything when she first said it? Not until he realized the camera was filming… he literally didn’t say “no I’m not” or “why are you saying that?” Nothing!!!
Exactly!
Sarah is a badass, anyone would be lucky to have such a dedicated sister like her
I think "dad's a pervert" says it all...no kid ever says that without a reason.
Alissa's dad was obsessed with her. She belonged to him in his mind. No doubt he was abusing her. The boyfriend was in the way. Her resistance triggered him. He was also giving everything to Sarah to keep her out of the way and to poison her opinion. So glad she was able to see through his BS and is so strong now.
Well said.
1:22:36 1:22:40 1:22:46 😊
Not a shred of doubt in my mind
Very well said
@@ariawashburn6043 thank you.
I swear the prosecution purposely dropped the ball. They never cared about this case and they only went forward so that they wouldn’t have to deal with this case. I feel so angry for how awful they were, how unprofessional they were, and how justice was not served. Alissa and Sarah both deserve better. Michael was CLEARLY OBSESSED with her. He is a narcissistic abuser of both Alissa and Sarah. I’m so sorry Sarah. You are so strong and Alissa would be proud to see how much you have advocated for her.
they completely swept the case under the rug.
I say this with my whole chest: You should look into suing the state for negligence. It is their duty to properly address a case in the court of law, and they grossly mishandled evidence, witnesses, etc. I would donate money to support that in a heartbeat.
Same!
Wholeheartedly agree. There’s gotta be another recourse here.
Same
Amen.
Same
Many things about this case make my blood boil, but one of the things that makes me the most mad is the lack of reporting by Alissa’s teacher. I’m a teacher. If any one of my students ever said they were being abused like that, I’d be on the phone with DCF IMMEDIATELY. The fact that teachers are legally mandated reporters just makes me sick. You don’t get to decide if the kid is telling the truth, that’s for the experts to decide. But you HAVE to report it! Were things so drastically different in 2001? How does this teacher live with herself 😡😭
Same. This infuriated me when I listened to the podcast
Yes unfortunately there they were. It was like almost acceptable to be a molester they were rarely put in jail I mean they still aren't in a lot of states and there was type you know like a misogynist atmosphere where men could just get away with a lot of things.
I don’t know how true this is, but I saw somewhere that the teacher was dating Mike so he convinced her that Alyssa was lying. Makes me so angry
@@crystal7893 Sarah talked about that in the podcast, it’s true
Kendall & Sarah in one space. Two powerhouse women. Thank you for sharing her story on your platform. Thank you, Sarah, for the vulnerability and for always fighting for Alissa and the voiceless. ❤
I feel like Kendall is one of the only few ethical true crime channels and I really enjoy her content because of that
seriously, there’s very few channels i still feel okay watching now and kendall is always the most respectful
This! And the fact that I can’t even keep up with all of the different charities/donation drives Kendall has worked with and started because it seems like every other video of her that I watch there’s a new one starting up by her or her company- which is SO amazing 🙌
Agreed. I follow a couple of other channels and even though I like their content in general, I feel like sometimes they focus too much on the gory details. Kendall is always sensitive and sticks to the facts, without sensationalising them.
Another person, like Kendall, that I listen to is Danielle Hallan💕 they both are amazing & have worked together to push each others platforms forward. That’s how I found her
@@emilylowe2416Kendall and Danielle are the best! The only two true crime creators I listen to.
Can Sara not file for a miss trial?! This seems absolutely absurd and neglectful on the prosecutiins part. She deserves a do over with far more compitent representation!!
I was wondering the same thing!! Or she could use the state for negligence!
i believe she said they tried multiple times; judge wouldnt go for it. She said that was why they didn't see it coming when he was acquitted.
Unfortunately when someone has been acquitted of a crime, to get another trial for him would risk double jeopardy. IF they were able to get another trial and he was to be convicted, it could very well be overturned on appeal due to the double jeopardy rule, sadly we may never see real justice on this case because of it.
She doesn't have evidence. No DNA,.no body, no confession, no third party to give testimony, etc. He was never going to be found guilty of murdering her without something more. Being a horrible creepy person who makes pipe bombs really isn't enough to argue for murder and burying a body
@@AjAnxiouSwhat if they find her remains? Will that change anything?
When I heard they acquitted him it broke my heart. I cried and screamed as I feel most people did. I was so angry. Now it makes more sense. Thanks Sarah for doing this interview.
When I found out he was free, my heart absolutely was crushed. Especially now that I’m a mama to a little girl. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for her. You fought like hell for Alissa and I know that she’s looking down on you and is so proud. Because you’ve really touched the lives of millions of people the way you’ve fought for her. He may be out of prison, now have a UA-cam channel, blah blah but when he is on his deathbed and after, he will be suffering. Alissa didn’t deserve what happened to her but she did deserve you being her sister. She couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you Sarah for speaking up for Alissa and for other victims. Thank you Kendall for being who you are and being genuine and never overstepping. You actually listen and give victims a platform. Much love to you both.
horrible injustice for alissa, sarah and anyone who wanted justice brought to this family. it breaks my heart..
It breaks my heart that there has never even been a search for Alissa. She deserves more. I hope she gets justice.
Thank you, Sarah, for telling your story and being so open with everyone. Also, thank you, Kendall for being so considerate towards victims families and giving them this voice.
Sarah Turney deserves the world for all that she has gone through. I can’t imagine going through what she has, and still being able to sit and retell that story with so much vulnerability.
I deeply appreciate you both, Kendall and Sarah! This story needs to be told in honor of your sister Alissa, and all other victims of abuse. The fact that so much lethal information was excluded during trial, is heartbreaking and completely frustrating.
Sarah, thank you for all that you are doing! I can't sum up the words to say just how important and inspiring it is to know you have done so much for Alissa.
I can listen to Sarah's voice forever. I love the way she speaks! Sending you so much love, Sarah. I'm proud of you for still using your voice and still seeking joy in life. You deserve the world and so much more. Kendall, thank you for keeping this story at the forefront and for being such a wonderful human being and advocate to Sarah and Alissa. Many blessings to you both! 💕
Idk why but I always listen to her podcast when I lay down knowing her voice is gonna put me to sleep.
@gabriellewitts4746 what 89
I was so sad when I found out he was acquitted. I cried. I listened to all Sarah’s podcast episodes about Alissa as well as Kendall’s. Thank you Sarah for sharing what happened during the trial, and I am so sorry the state failed you and Alissa. It’s heartbreaking but you were such a fighter for your sister.
THE GOSSIP PODCASTS. READ THE BOOK FOR THE FACTS, THEN YOU CAN DECIDE. MRT THE FATHER OF ALISSA AND SARAH
I hope you ruffle more feathers talking about this. Totally unacceptable now unprepared the state was. Thanks to Kendall for giving Sarah a safe space to talk and tell us about her experience. Praying for Sarah and Alissa, you both deserved better.
When Shania says let’s go girls, these are the girls she means!! The two of you together just exude power and love ❤ you’re both changing the word!!
This is my favorite comment ever
I feel so bad and sick about this. When I was 8 I was touched by my brother until I was 11. I finally was able to go to trial he sat and watched me, while they scrutinized my “story” and I was never given justice. To hear all this makes me genuinely angry the judicial system is not helping us, kids are supposed to be safe and loved, NOT USED
Sarah, you are the best sister anyone could ask for. Sending you love, you’ve put up with so much and you’ve helped so many people. Thank you Kendall for helping to make sure no one ever forgets Alissa.
seems very suspicious to me that every time this case seems to get anywhere, it gets shut down pretty rapidly. i wonder if the attorney/law enforcement have links with this man/dad (if you can call him that).. i really hope your sister gets the justice that she deserves.
Just found a Reddit thread where people are sadly supporting ottavia and bashing Sarah which is extremely sad. She’s done so much to advocate for her sister and I can’t even imagine all the pain she’s endured while doing it. But she did it for her sister! That’s love. I may not know her but I trust Kendall’s opinion on her character and she clearly cares about and believes Sarah and I do too. This was a very revealing and frustrating and disheartening episode. I’m very sad that Michael turney who is clearly GUILTY, is a free man. He’s dangerous. Our justice system is broken beyond repair!
I've never heard of Octavia, but from the sounds of it she's demon possessed. Demons work together, so Michael's demons and hers are working together.
My Uncles murderer got 5 years for murdering my gentle giant of an uncle… all because she was indigenous. Almost 12 years later I still struggle immensely with the loss. He was the father figure in my life. I was 12 when I lost him and it really effected me
We appreciate the fact that Kendall has always been considerate towards the victims' families, friends and loved ones. We all know for certain she wouldn't have made it thus far if it weren't for her own set of skills.
I completely agree ❤
Your comment makes my heart swell. You are so right.❤
Completely agree. This is what sets Kendall apart from other true crime content creators. Such an amazingly empathetic human being & so genuine when speaking.
Sarah, I know there are tons of comments in here so you won't see it...but girl, you are SO STRONG and you're GOOD. And we're all on your side and in awe of how far you've reached and how much you've done. You're a living legend and I'm so, so sorry the state and prosecution and earlier in your life all the adults failed you and Alyssa.
I see you, thank you. 💜
The age progressed photo of Alissa, looks EXACTLY like Sarah🥺 so bittersweet. My condolences, Sarah. You’re one hell of a woman🫶🏼
THE AGE PROGRESSION OF ALISSA IS NOT ACCURATE TO ME. IM HER FATHER MRT
@user-rt1kz6wl5o so you're the murderer?
If he didn't do something to her, then who did? Are they going to continue to search for who did do something to her.
I can’t believe he was acquitted. I haven’t watched this video yet and I already know I’m going to be upset and angry.
Sending love to Sarah and Family ❤
I am shocked at the outcome, the state needs to be called out! You are so strong Sarah, this isn't over I have feeling some justice will be served and if not in justice system, he will have to answer when he passes...please don't stop doing what you have done for your sister !!!! You are amazing and Kendall for standing up for victims and families.. My prayers are with you both💙🙏🏾💓
It’s absolutely disgusting that they went to court so unprepared and unprofessional in that respect
Isnt it!?! Its disgusting and they should definitely be ashamed af
This case gave me chills. It reminded me too much of "sleeping murder" from Agatha Christie. In that story it was the stepbrother being weird and overprotective and ultimately murdering her when he realized that she would never "love him back" and that she loved her husband.
Then he made it appear as if she ran away with someone. Only the memories of her stepdaughter, a little child at the time of murder who witnessed it and starts to remember 20 years later when she comes upon the house where it happened.
Wow!
As someone in early stages of seeking justice for a family member..Sarah you have been such an inspiration for me and many other families! ❤
Well, unfortunately we see AGAIN, that we do NOT have a Justice System. That alone can be very Traumatizing for life. Great interview Kendall. So much integrity.
He was acquitted? So he can never be charged due to double jeopardy now? Poor Sarah and Alissa.
It took me three whole minutes to pick my jaw up off of the floor seeing that he was acquitted. Holy moly. Sarah, it is amazing all that you have done for your sister. I’m sure she’s looking down at you so proudly.
What a horrible injustice. I’m so sorry that he is not being held accountable and responsible for his actions 😔
Thank you for another video about Alissa! I remember the first time I heard about her case and how shocked I was - I always think about her. Sarah, my heart breaks for you. You are so strong and have have my upmost respect and love for doing what you have for Alissa. The outcome of the trial was shocking. Justice may not have been served but we will never stop talking about or thinking about her ❤
Is there any way we can fight the ruling? Is there any way we can even write or email someone? This is GROSS MISJUSTICE it's disgusting this has even happened. Can we not rally for a mistrial?
You can’t ask for a mistrial when it didn’t even go to the jury . The judge dismissed it “with prejudice” which means he cannot be retried again .
I will forever respect Kendall’s approach to true crime. I’m so happy Sarah could have this space to talk about her experiences and to talk about her sister. This was amazing.
Wasn't her dad and ex cop. OF COURSE THE CASE WAS SABOTAGED. THEY BACK THEIR OWN!
Well said
Yes he was, I can only imagine how many people he SA’d with his cover of the badge and nasty personality!
“Im finding my identity” you are such an amazing sister please never doubt that.
There never was a search for her!? WTF!!!!!! I wish there was a standard procedure for these things!! No matter what, you search, you check phone records, gather evidence etc…. LIKE COME ON!!!
I always felt like Michael had a flirtatious relationship with Alyssa. He teased her like a boy who has a crush. Creepy and gross.
I am so proud of Sarah for telling her story ❤❤❤❤❤ truly. I am looking forward to watching! Sending love and light to all that accept it ❤
i'm gonna cry, this has been such a journey. i remember how young i was when i was introduced to this case (one of the first). i'm glad she's never lost her bravery to speak out & be a voice for the voiceless.
Sarah Era ❤❤❤ so excited for what's in store for both of you strong, talented, and inspiring women! Sending so much love
This is such a frustrating case and how the state handled it. Sarah is such a strong woman, Alissa would be so proud of her
Sarah, you did everything right. The system is hard to go against. Thank you for your encouragement to keep pursuing justice. I hope your sister will be found one day. What a testimony! You're very brave!
Sarah - thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story. I know that Alyssa is so proud of you and so is your mother.
Kendall - thank you for giving Sarah a platform like this to share her story. Having someone like you to simply listen must mean the world. Please give us an update in a little on how Sarah is doing in her Sarah Era 💛
Very easy to have friends and fellow gossipers reinterview each other, but much deferent when under oath and under strict scrutiny by a public defender asking the HARD QUESTIONS. In reality, MRT FATHER OF ALISSA AND SARAH
This was such a special interview; Sarah is so resilient & a beautiful soul & Kendall held the space for her to speak, showing nothing but support and respect. I’ve always felt so frustrated for Sarah & her experience navigating the so-called justice system; she spoke so articulately about it all. Thank you both 💜
Sarah, I admire you more than words can possibly express. I wish I could have been half the sister you are. Stars in your crown for your loyalty.
i am so disappointed and disgusted with the prosecution, that ottavia girl, abc , and of course her father , Sarah, you are so incredibly strong , sending you all my love and light♥️
I just went back and watched your first video on this case. It’s crazy how much your channel has grown and changed in the last 5 years. Thank you for doing what you do!
I applaud Sarah. My baby brother died last December, the day before Christmas Eve, from fentanyl poisoning. I went through his phone (that the cops didn't take) and found evidence of who he purchased it from. I gave all of the evidence over to the police. When it felt like nothing was happening, I got in touch with the local newspaper. They started questioning the police, and the guy was arrested that Friday night (September 1st). His first bond was set for half a million. There was a second bond hearing and I had to talk in front of the judge and court about him threatening me before he was arrested (had proof) and his brother coming to my house 2 weeks before trying to intimadate me and how I have a no trespassing notice on him. The judge said he had never had a bond over $100,000 for homicide but that there was a first thing for everything and that his bond would not be reduced and would stay where it is. This is still the beginning. The trial starts in December. I would do everything all over again for my baby brother. He was only 35. All through the stress and grief, I have to fight for him. As the oldest child, I feel it's my responsibility. Thank God I still have my younger brother. He has supported me through all of this and has been there for me. We had a rough childhood and it bonded all 3 of us and we were all so close. My baby brother was my best friend. He lived 3 minutes from me. He was a great son, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, etc. I miss him so much. I'm ready for this to go to trial. It's being watched at a federal level to see what they can start doing with these fentanyl dealers. We've lost so many people in and around our small town. It's awful. I'm trying to set a precedent that there are consequences for selling that crap to people and killing them. I love you always, John Boy. Your big sister is going to get justice for you!
I love Sarah and genuinely felt gutted when the case was dropped, she is an absolute warrior for her sisters justice. Stay strong Sarah you are amazing and Alyssa and your Mom are so proud of you 👏we all are xx
Alissa was the scapegoat in that family in my opinion. And it is wild that Sarah eventually took Alissa's side! That is VERY rare. Normally everyone has disdain for the scapegoat. They are slandered. People in the family are okay with the scapegoat being hurt. They minimize the violence, justify it, or they deny it as they turn and condemn the scapegoat. My opinions, peace.
Well yes but I’m sure her sister has gone through years of therapy. Her father was probably very manipulative. I’m sure it took her a while to start questioning things and dig deeper. Sometimes it just takes growing up and being an adult to question your childhood trauma.
@@Catturtlelover3000 Scapegoating can last a lifetime. And in my opinion, it is rare (for family members in a dysfunctional home) to go against the narcissist who is very manipulative. Sarah was manipulated but she broke free and (that is) a testament to her strength. Therapy can help if you (can find) the right therapist. The brackets are my edits.
@@Virgo__ You should write your story. It would inspire many people I think. You and your siblings are fierce! Peace to you.
@@emilyashley4820 scapegoating is such a sad thing. Yeah I agree it is quite rare, but I’m happy she started to question things further. I am the family scapegoat myself so I totally relate to the family dynamics.
Oh Sarah, I am terribly sorry for your sister. I hope someone is able to find Alissa. I can’t believe how evil your father was. I’m so sorry honey.
Thank you for trusting us with your and Alissa’s story, Sarah. I’m so sorry for your loss. You and Kendall are two shining lights in the true crime space and seeing two strong women collaborate this way is inspiring and empowering. Sending all the love and light to you both ❤️
This case has haunted and angered me since I heard about it. I wish Sarah so much love and healing. She really should feel so proud of herself, she’s been a great sister.
22:16 i have followed this case with you. But even if i was a new person to this case i would already be convinced hes guilty by all the miss leading things. I dont understand how he got acquitted
IM JUST GETTING MORE MAD. LISTENING TO HER TALK ABOUT THE PROSECUTOR! WTF HOW IS THIS MAN FREE AND THAT THIS ISN'T A MISS TRIAL 🤬
He will never tell you the truth on his death bed! It's a game to him. He just wants the opportunity to see you hurt even more when he denies you that information one last time. Sick Bastard.
When she says “the justice system isn’t always indicative of the truth…, its mainly who has a better lawyer” that was so powerful.
im hoping that one day, the truth will come out about what happened to Alissa, the REAL truth. not what Micheal wants to say happened and not the BS that he constantly tries to feed everyone. i hope her remains will be found or someone will speak up with evidence to prove what really happened. this case is one that just eats at me, because i just want to know so badly what happened and why.
Sarah, thank you for telling your story and being so brave. Your sister is so proud of you ❤
Hey Sarah! I totally agree with you I think the Justice system is so messed up! I sat on a murder trial and they kept so much information out that it hurt the end results! I found out so much more after the trial was over and that made a huge impact on how it was handled.
I would love to talk to sarah on a personal level. I am currently enduring some of the things she is going with my own father’s murdered case. Thank you for sharing your story and strength
Id want to sue the prosecution for negligence. Boils my blood they cant even do the bare minimum. Straight to jail
I'm not American so I'm not sure if this is a possibility but maybe a civil trial is an option if a new criminal trial isn't? That way its your (and perhaps the other victims) lawyers taking on the case not the state lawyers.
Or maybe there's a petition that can be made and sent to the DA. Maybe a heavy public support can make a difference.
Alissa would be so proud of the strong woman you've become.
Sending Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
They would have to find him under another and different charge. Because we don’t 2nd jeopardy. They would have to find new evidence. I think finding her body would help.
It’s time to file a Civil Suite. Don’t let him get away with it!!!
File a civil suite
@@kathybartlett624 Is that a question or an agreement?
So glad you've done this video. I was absolutely gutted when I saw the news 😢
Sarah, I am so sorry for what you have had to go through. I can’t even imagine losing my sister and then having to go against my father. You are so brave and you are such an inspiring person. I’m glad on the bad days you have people who love you to lift you up. Thank you Kendall for giving Sarah a platform to share her story. Sarah I am so proud of you and I hope you continue to fall in love with life again. Much love to both of you ladies!💕
Always so nice to hear from Sarah ❤ We’re all behind you and we’ll always want justice for Alissa.
This story is insane. It's horrible and heartbreaking.
Props to Sarah for being so coherent and keeping a level head.
She is absolutely amazing, I'm sure Alissa knows what an amazing sister she is.
Sarah is such a respectful determined and consistent person. I admire you so much. You have such an emotional strength. You learned to be strong. I know sooner or later you will have all the answers clearly. Hugs to you
@SarahTurney I live in AZ and would love to help you search for Alissa. So I'll keep an eye out for info on that. You're so strong and beautiful and I know she would be so proud of you and all that you've done in her name. You've helped create a beautiful legacy for Alissa, I hope you truly know that ❤❤❤
Atavia sounds like an absolute piece of work. How could you do that to a victims family member. Whose only goal was to get publicity for her SISTERS MURDER. May Atavia never see the sun. And may Sarah find peace and love with her fiance and their family x
I am late on this because I was away for a week but watching it today. Sarah, I just want you to know that I am 59 and I refused to watch 20/20. I did grow up on true crime like that, but women like you and Kendall have changed my view. That is all for views. I fully support you and I am so sorry for everything you’ve been through. Sending you love and also, thank you Kendall, for such a decent and kind interview. 💜💜
Sarah is an absolute rock star. Everyone deserves someone who will fight for them like she fought for Sarah 🎉❤
someone close to me was being abused by their step father & he watched every step like it seems Michael did. he would show up
to her prom to make sure she knew he was near by. it was almost as if he was jealous of possible boyfriends. it’s so sad. & it sounds like what michael did. i’m in complete shock that he wasn’t found guilty
Your fierce and so very brave for telling your story. I have watched everything I can about Alissa, you are such an amazing sister and she would be so proud of everything you did for justice for her and your family! Kendall amd Sarah you are both AMAZING women!!
I don't ever comment or buy merch but i would get a Sarah Era shirt in a heart beat! I would love to be able to support her in her new journey. ❤
Kendall, there’s a reason why your channel is the most successful true crime channel I watch. You’re a true friend.
Sarah is so amazing, intelligent and inspiring. Everything she has done for her sister is incredible, more power to you sister you are so strong. Sending love your way.
I love Sarah ! She’s such a class act and a visual representation of strength and the persistence of real sisterly love . She’s just as humble when you talk to her to ! Truly one of a kind human ❤ something about her just gives you a little strength
Thank you for sharing! We love you!!
💜Sarah Era💜 You deserve the world sweet girl! Alisa is watching you from Heaven cheering you on with such pride🩷
it breaks my heart that it sounds like Sarah didn’t have much help from her siblings, for her sibling
Fist I’d like to say, thank you 😊 Kendall for presenting this story. I feel so very bad for Sara and for her loss. Also I feel bad about her loss of Alissa, her sister 👩. The fact that her father was acquitted is beyond belief. He is guilty in my opinion 😢. He should have received life in prison, for the crime he committed. I believe that he will continue with this type of behavior. If not caught. I watch LMN and also Lifetime channels and I often have seen that people who cause these types of issues seem to get away with it because the courts don’t believe them. It looks like 👍 those people can’t really prove that it happened to them. I think When SA/DV/and Rape occur the justice system has failed 😢 them. They can’t believe it was done ✅. It’s very hard to prove and the people get away with it so easily. When taken to court. They don’t ever get the proper justice that they deserve. I find this is often the case and especially with women, mostly. I believe that the justice system needs to change because they are against women who complain about this. Thank you 😊 for all your hard work that you do to keep us all informed. ❤ your kindness, and your knowledge too. 🦋💕💯😍💜👑🤬😰🌹🪻🌈🎆💎🛎️💚❣️☮️🩵✝️🖤☯️ 1:49:10
the “i love you” they said at the end, so genuine. loved that. thank you for the update and the amazing work you do to bring awareness
Nothing but love and support for Sarah ❤ it really sucks not getting the justice you know is true. I was hoping so much for a different outcome here
Thank you for this Kendall, and thank you for having Sarah join us and share her story for her sister, Justice for Alissa 💖
Alissa’s story will forever live on. She has such an incredible sister and I couldn’t imagine the pain she’s felt for years. Thank you both for being an inspiration and advocate for victims.
This was the most amazing interview I have seen since I got into true crime 5 years ago. You two are both so sincere and amazing. Thanks for doing this where we could all watch and learn.
Thank you Sarah! Great show with Kendall. I'm so sorry the prosecution dropped the ball with this case.
Such an amazing episode. Thank you Kendall and Sarah for this open conversation.
This was such a powerful story. I hope one day there is justice
It takes so much strength to live through this, let alone talk about it to so many people. It’s so important to make sure the victims loved ones are heard. This was incredible, so well done. ❤
