When are we going to start holding police accountable for this kind of shit? This is infuriating
Kent County police is definitely a hit/miss.
💯 this!!!
Exactly!!!
That’s for sure, I mean because they are the law they get to abuse it.. they are responsible for this out come since they never listened
I’m not sure where Kent County is, but yall need to fire your sheriff and hire you a Grady Judd.
This is sickening and pissed me off
This is a devastating story 💔
My favorite presenter right now, Annie Elise.
I remember this case and never have forgotten Rachel and Shannon. How horrific that she was forced to write those letters and die that way .
Love you Annie!! Heartbreaking case and police failure reminds of a case here in Texas involving a girl named Hailey Dunn. Would love you to check her case out and shed new life into a case which has to this day received no justice!!
Your stories are all very informative and compassionate. I hope you do one on the Aubreigh Wyatt story
Marvin was the town bully and got away with threatening and killing for years
TWO written letters from both people involved against this guy in court that they are "taking off" and no one thought that was suspicious, are those officers stupid? Any actual brain cells in that entire department OMG
Not a one nothing narda zilch
Apparently not
BRAINLESS PLCE DEPARTMENT! 🤦♀️
No, they are lazy and corrupt…there is a difference!
What a tragic story! Rachel would be 44 now & Shannon would be 28. I pray for comfort for her loved ones.
same age as me and my son now. :-(
It makes me furious when police departments act like this and don't do their job.
They only work hard for themselves. If she had been a police officer....
The parents should had sued that police department, They dropped the ball *BIG TIME* .
They can still do exactly that X
They dropped the ball way before he killed them. No one helped her.
I’m not a parent but I would be outraged and raving to the police and media and even to the empty air! I can’t believe there was so much silence from so many people, especially family. :(
Law enforcement is a freakishly expensive tool, the police and the police alone tend to eat up virtually all of the small budgets for municipalities.... suing police stations though, the police aren't penalized at all, in any way, not even in the slightest, for losing.
Police are one of the really dysfunctional aspects of how we live... massively overfunded, massively overpaid, treated like mongoloid children in terms of how we can't hold them responsible for anything including their own misbehavior... outright evil being routinely tolerated, and excused. Somehow the rest of the world doesn't need to do this for their cops, but we have to. Our military doesn't need $100K salaries and to be freed from all accountability of their actions, but cops do. We treat them like idiot children, so they act like them.
The dumb ass parents failed her too
This was such a heartbreaking story. Like you said, Rachel did all the right things, but at every turn she was ignored. Even those that stuck by her suffered the same fate. Even worse is imagining Shannon and what she suffered or Rachel having to endure watching anything happen. Just unbearable!!!
I'm 47 minutes into this story, and as soon as John was introduced, I thought that Marvin used him to lure Rachel onto this "date". Marvin wanted Rachel to bring her daughter for the purpose of blackmail, but also to keep his promise to her. He told her he would harm her and her baby if she told. This guy was obviously a town terror. The police had to have known of him before the incident with Rachel. They just let him move around criminally with impunity. What 43 year old wants to hang out with 20 somethings that are not his family????
Yes, I think you're right. And then he murdered John.
Oh, he was definitely a town nuisance. There's no way they didn't know this man was an asshole. This is too dark for it to be the first crime he ever committed
I haven't watched this yet just in the beginning but older men always seem to want younger women sadly
Because they are more naive and gullible 😢
Her whole rape was a set up. I think Marvin had previously seen her then got his mate & nephew to coerce her into playing a card game. She didn't see it coming & Marvin has probably done this many more times prior to Rachel
The "nobody believing you" "cops and loved ones not responding appropriately" is unfortunately so common, in my, and so many others' experiences. Many of us have long stories that no one, unfortunately, wants to hear.
Yes girl! It's so true! People act like you're exaggerating or just lying because you're upset with him... like really?!
Indeed!
Annie, Im an assault survivor who didn’t report because I thought no one would believe me. I did tell my husband and family, who obviously believed me but I didn’t want to chance a judge not and the aftermath of my assailant not being given any consequence after being charged. Too much was at stake, I feared for my children as well. I was cleaning my daughter’s room when I heard you say “I will believe you” and immediately burst in to tears. Thank you, sometimes those words from a stranger can be more healing than you realize ❤
I believe you!! ❤ I'm a survivor too.
I believe you!! My heart goes out to you!!
I'm so so sorry you went through that. I believe you.
I’m a survivor as well. Only o reported and the female detective straight up told me she thought I was lying. He later admitted it and said he wanted to do it again (he admitted it to another demale) and I took these messages to the detective and she dropped my case because I called her out for not trying to do anything in my messages to the girl. She said “I don’t appreciate the way you’re talking about me in these messages” and then told me she wasn’t going to investigate anymore.
I believe you ❤
Poor Rachel. Why do men feel so entitled to women's bodies and even their lives? I know that there are male victims too. I just feel like women suffer from so much when we are just trying to exist. :(
I just saw in social media and was shocked at the number of teens-13-16 who had predatory boyfriends in their late 20’s!! Disgusting! And the poor traumatized women.
Sometimes it's a cultural thing ... but it's always comes down to not being raised properly. Males need strong male role models to look up to that teach them to protect all woman and how to treat them and why . It's basic human respect... Sadly a strong man is missing from alot of homes nowadays..
He obviously was a complete nut! I wouldn’t put him in the same category as a typical man.
@@timothy2935it's cultural because society hates women...
@@timothy2935 you make a good point. Solid, respectable men are few & far. Girls & young women don't even know what quality partners are! They've nvr seen 1.
There are a lot of dumb or very lazy people in the judicial system in that town
This is what happens when you require at minimum a high school diploma
@@TehMomo_Amen. This. Bullies in uniform. And they don't get tickets for speeding either. Ask ANY cop if they have speeding tickets😅
This is so horrific. He needs to be gone. The police failed Rachel so badly. My heart goes out to her family.
The fact that she was thrown in while still alive…..MY GOD. Not only that, but I don’t doubt that she wanted to survive SO badly for her little baby daughter. I literally cannot even begin to imagine what he probably did to her and what was going through her mind leading up to her death. He’s disgusting and truly evil through and through.
Now I want to know how they treat death row inmates in Michigan. Is he in solitary? Please God. I sure hope so.
How terrifying!! It's infuriating that Rachel wasn't taken seriously.
God bless everyone reading this… Be kind to yourself and others ❤
0q❤⁰😊q❤
Thank you, God bless you too
Right back at you sister 🏴
Blessings to you as well!!!
Thank you… sending blessings back to you with the same kind intent 🥰
Wow! This is such an insane and infuriating case! When are police going to start being held accountable for, not just dropping the ball, but totally ignoring victims who cry out for help????! This disgusting excuse for a man was able to hurt and murder so many people and nearly get away with all of it because police wouldn’t listen to Rachel! My heart goes out to her loved ones and the other victims’ loved ones! I pray baby Shannon is living a happy, peaceful life.
They did listen to her, they arrested Marvin. I dont understand why everyone keeps saying that the police were ignoring her. This just sinply isnt true.
@@andrewvanderhoof2531after 6 months!! You think it's okay to wait half a year to arrest a violent rapist and then let him out for bail right away so he can harass the victim on the street every day? 🙄
@@fehyndana7725police have nothing to do with bail! A basic understanding how the law works is helpful! The police arrest but it’s the DAs and judge that determine if they get out etc. Stop voting for these progressives that are soft on crime. That’s the issue that people don’t seem to understand!
I really don't think she's alive.
They took way too longer to get this guy. It was ridiculous. They actually took this nasty ass groomer's word over a woman who was terrified and was raped. @@andrewvanderhoof2531
This is just horrifying. When are police going to take girls/women seriously. The police taking the report, the station and the city all need to be held accountable.
They dont take men seriously, either.
Incels, wanna be alpha males, and police officers (reguardless of gender) are difinately all starting to blur the lines and weld them together. People who don't view girls and women as HUMAN
This is why you stay strapped. Nobody will look after you like you do. Remember this when they try to make “guns” illegal.
They don’t want you to defend yourself…. They want to play favorites
It sounds like they didn’t care about any of them. The guy that was supposed to testify against Marvin but mysteriously went missing right before the trial.
Police do women a serious injustice and it’s infuriating. How many times did Nicole Brown Simpson call police, tell friends and family that she feared for her life- obviously and tragically with good reason.
I’ve never heard of this case before. How sad 😢 Police need to start being held accountable for cases like these. It’s tragic
I was molested as a child by our swim coach who groomed our entire family in order to get to me by calling my parents mom and dad. He was also my brothers diving coach so became my brothers idol. We were raised very sheltered in the 70’s so when this started happening I knew my parents couldn’t handle the ugly truth. So when I finally decided to open up 40 years later no one took it well. Now all I have is my husband and no family I grew up with. And I was not blessed with children. So the stigma of the rape or molestation really hasn’t changed.
😢really sorry that happened to you
I'm sorry that happened to you. I believe you. I hope you've found some support.
I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. People abandon the truth tellers. God does not abandon anyone. I hope you have found some healing from telling the truth of what happened to you❤
this happened to my brother ('60s tho) via a "favorite teacher" that was even promoted to the Principle of the one grade school in town! every kid knew to stay away from Mr Langone - even kids like me who didn't really understood what that meant, only it was bad. yet the faculty didn't seem to be paying attention and rewarded him with all the kids he could want with his promotion. this was (still is) a small town (the high school covering 7th - 12th for example). as an adult, my brother took him to court and got the creep's retirement benefits taken away, some other fines etc. he wasn't suing for monetary compensation, he just wanted him revealed & not rewarded for his years of abusing a lot more than just him. he succeeded in that goal
The cops need to go through a lot more training , this isn’t working and it never did
The fact that any police dept believed any of this is definitely infuriating. This is worse than a fictional mystery book.
That crime scene photo along with her cause of death had me in TEARS! this poor sweet woman. I haven’t even heard what happened to her baby yet but I’m not ready for my heart to break even more.😢
This is the most upsetting case. I literally cried for Rachel and her baby. The fact that sexual assault victims get treated so poorly even now is the most infuriating thing and really speaks to a darkness in humanity that is disgusting.
Wow #65. This case is so frustrating. Everyone let this girl and her baby down. The police, her friend, her family even. I'm sure she is no longer with us. And the cops let Marvin get away with SA and make 3 people disappear its shocking 😢
I'm glad you went there and included her family. Yes, they believed her and no, the police didn't but to just wait for her to return for so many days, IMO, is irresponsible with a daughter that was not living independently and was living with her parents and had been very afraid for her life.
i seriously love annie so much, she works so hard on these cases!! when does she sleep?!???? i have a MS in Criminal Justice and i can confidently say she's an EXPERT at research. she knows what she's doing. i'm so proud of how far she's come🥹
The parents behavior is negligent too. How could they believe such a bizarre tale about their daughter? I guess maybe she had been into drugs, but still....I certainly wouldn't have just written off my daughter like that
This case horrified me ....especially his mug shot, this poor girl lived a terrifying short life ...the man was pure evil! The baby no doubt is gone....so sad....Marve will face god one day and he cant escape that .....ever! Hes the epitome of despicable....may he rot in hell .... 6 months to arrest him??
I can’t help but feel police need to be fined for ignoring clear signs or jailed
Seriously, if they did that, they would take their job more seriously
I agree with you both !! If they had jail time for failing to do their job.. I’m sure they would start taking things more serious !
@@deehyatt5173 agreed
30:39 (ish) I CANNOT believe that her FAMILY, the people CLOSEST to her… didn’t put the pieces together IMMEDIATELY.
Immediately after her not showing up to count, it should have clicked for her family. They should have hired a private investigator or something.
This story is INSANE & truly heartbreaking…
This is why I exercise my 2nd amendment rights. I ALWAYS have a gun. If I’m wearing pants/shorts it’s concealed in my waist. Wearing a dress, I also have a thigh holster. This world has gone crazy, and we as citizens HAVE to protect ourselves. It’s better to have a gun in your hand than a cop on the phone, says my sheriff Grady Judd!!
Luv Grady Judd!!! Best sheriff ever!!!
I love Grady ❤️
Same! And it pretty much saved me 7 years ago. It's kind of a long story but basically I had just started dating one of those men who think it's cool to hit women. Well, he picked the wrong b*tch to screw with. He hit me in the face and I hit him back. We ended up on the floor in his condo and he ended up on top of me with his hand on my throat. Thankfully I was able to reach my 🔫 and I shot him in the ass. Seriously. 😳😆 Long story short, charges against me were dropped because they obviously saw that I fired in self-defense. The asshole ended up being here illegally. (Illegal immigrant from Ukraine.) The FBI got involved because apparently he was operating some kind of money laundering scheme. He ultimately was deported. At first I used to worry a little that he might come after me. My friend/family convinced me that he probably wouldn't. Especially with him knowing that I carry, etc.
FL still wild n free in that regard, but NY is not. Takes great efforts to get a pistol permit here, and recently even shotgun shells need ID & some kinda clearance. Strict laws on when/ what conditions one can shoot also.
@@misscyanic2484 that’s ridiculous. Especially considering the crime rate
This story crushed me. Just thinking about what this poor girl went through knowing she was about to drown…I have no words. And how could the cops not believe her when she went to them? What an evil monster to have done this to her and her child and all those other people that went missing. This one hit hard.
Because they don’t give a damn, I know personally how useless they are at listening to victims, I was staked by 3 guys. I lost weight, looked like I was about to die. I still haven’t t gotten the justice I deserve but trust me I will
@@WanderedintoI hope you do!!
❤from Amsterdam, the Netherlands 🇳🇱
to be honest im afraid of the police. after all that has gone on in the past years with police violence im hesitant with the police. I have gone to the police for help, to get a restraining order against my abusive ex. they ignored me and said they couldn't do anything when I had two black eyes and a fat lip. FINALLY after my ex broke into my apartment and beat me to a pulp did the judge grant a 5 year restraining order. he broke the order twice and was held in contempt of court. due to his violent behavior I had no other choice but to leave the state so he couldn't find me. luckily im married now to a wonderful man that would never lay a hand on me and understands what has happened to me. I won't lie I still look over my shoulder wherever I go. thanks for such a great deep dive Annie. it really hits home but this topic needs to be discussed. its to common now a days!
Thank you for all you do. I feel like you’ve been my true crime bestie since I first found your channel a little over a year ago. I always look forward to everything you post.
The idea she would write a letter and send it through the mail, instead of leaving a note inside for her parents is ridiculous. The idea that the cops wouldn’t think that suspicious too is wild. It’s so sad that cases like these are the reasons people want to know exactly where and with whom people are going on dates, and checking that friends get home safely 😞
Annie! I absolutely love your hair cut! Never have i seen that kind of cut be so perfect! ❤ Great job on that story! Never heard it and I'm right there with you feeling baby Shannon is still alive! I couldnt think of anyone better than you and faith that you can, find her. Getting in touch with David "Palate"? (missing 411) could even help bring this home. Stay safe and sending love from Birmingham Alabama ❤❤❤💯
thats nice ❤
He was absolutely SMUG in his mugshot. I am VERY surprised that he hasn’t been taken out by other prisoners yet. Believe it or not there is a standard in jails and prisons. “Predators” and women crimes are extremely looked down upon.
(I went on Google and read some about you Annie. Congratulations on your hard work to get where you are! You have a great story and many many congrats on your success. Hard work pays off! Again congratulations!)
Why would you take your baby out to a date with someone you dont know well, that was a sad mistake but a mistake nonetheless that anyone could of made. 😢 I hope this guy ends up in prison its obvious he was the one that hurt these people I pray it was a quick end for them and they get justice in the end and the family gets closer. And the cops should be ashamed of themselves they totally didn't protect and serve in this case.
Who said she took the baby along?
@@cherylrusso7708 They said she did In the reenactment of her day. Her parents said the baby was invited and she got her ready and left with her. I didn't think it was up for debate. Do you believe the parents kept the baby and are hiding her for all these years?
So basically Michigan police are a joke.
:( They should be held accountable too!!!
A few things- I understand a guy saying it's cool to bring your kid on a date, ya know, he wants to appear chill, easy going, like your being a mom isn't a deal breaker for him BUT for me, personally, that's a red flag. Secondly, the police were fucking useless in this case however, in my opinion, it's a better idea to report your child's disappearance to useless cops than to just do nothing and ignore it lmao
That has got to be 1 of the absolute scariest horrific ways to die. Love her.. Wot a monster
I hope her family sued the state!! It would be wonderful if she was still alive!!! The reason his fingerprints weren’t on anything is because he had them tape and handcuff her. Coward couldn’t even do his own dirty work!!
All kind of reminds me of the times many years ago when police would just ignore women and children being abused in multiple ways by men in this country I know I survived those year's, I thought we had gotten pass that. 🙁 So many who suffered but nope we haven't.
I truly hope those police are held accountable it's an absolute problem, I pray that God holds them and all of those like them accountable and I'm sure he will one day.
I pray for the family members who are suffering so horribly right now, I pray they find comfort and healing and I also pray they sue those people, it doesn't bring their loved ones back I know, our leaders really need to be held accountable too!! They get away with way too much.
*THANK YOU Annie, God bless you and your family, Stay Safe!*
*STSM*
Yep! I called the police when I was 15, in 1981, because my dad was beating the damn hell out of my mother. They showed up, took my father outside and joked with him that, "Hey, sometimes ya gotta slap her around a bit when she needs it" then left. My mother took her life in 1990 to escape my father's abuse. It's ridiculous. I mean why call police. They won't help. Just make things worse. When they left, I got the hell beat out of me for calling them.
@@Pamer21 I was raised very similar to the way you were but age 13 my sister and I told my mom that we were leaving with or without her so she along with her us left, I very sorry to hear about your mother, May God bless you and your family, Stay Safe! I'm sure you're not doing the same you broke the cycle if you were taught nothing else, ♥️♥️♥️🙏🌹
@@rickyclark4870 Thank you Ricky. Yes, I definitely healed and broke the cycle. It's horrible to be raised in a "War Zone". Much love and healing to you as well ❤️
Ah I've never seen you so upset during an intro. This one upset you.Thank you for your time that you put into these cases.your a real asset to the true crime genre.
Just write a note and get away with anything around that joint... Need to find some pre-schoolers to train those detectives... Typical police force, total idiots just on the job to collect a paycheck and benefits...
I’m on an Annie binge watch.. just watched the sick Josh Powell case. God I hate that man wh a passion. Love you Annie! ❤
I live in Washington near puyallup/south hill. Such a sad sad story. 😢
ANNIE- I appreciate all the vids everyday! Idk anyone who posts as much as you! Thank you for all you do🫶🏻
So many stories from back in the day of families receiving letters from their missing loved ones. Mind blowing.
I can't believe this piece of garbage is still sitting in prison after murdering 5 people! Come on now! We all know he did it! This case is beyond infuriating!
That was me it’s a long story but my ex tried to kill me the police did nothing to help me I even had witnesses and still no help. I even thought about writing a book on the horrific situations I had to endure. I pray for her family 🙏🙏🙏
I'm sorry for what you went through.
This case makes me so angry!!!!! She did everything to put this monster behind the bars. 😢
Thank you Annie E for always being respectful and bringing the underdogs to the forefront. These stories must be told if there's every going to be any kind of accountability by the authorities. You are doing great work. You are a gem.
I’ve never made it to the comment section before 1.5k comments and I’m here at 60 comments. So woohoo to #61 🎉❤
Thank you for entertaining me while I am at work.
Poor Rachel stupid police ! That poor soul probably had Ptsd . She should been taken seriously ❤
are her family mental??? they just believed that she took off after a date and was nevee coming back?! please ... absolute morons, and law enforcement also not getting super hyped to investigate both witnesses disappeared!!! ugh infuriating
Annie every day this week.
Spoiling us.
OMG I haven't even watched the one from yesterday yet....This is going to be an easy day at work now that I have 2 Annie videos to watch...and I just remembered I haven't checked the podcast Serialously yet and probably have some new updates over there
Annie, you wouldn’t believe how many cases get thrown under the rug. It’s worse now than it was in the 1990s.
Because Rachel willingly took the baby along on "the date," that would indicate that it had already been discussed and agreed to. From that we can assume that having the baby there was part of a premeditated plan. What I believe is that he purposely wanted baby Shannon with them, to use against Rachel, like for forcing her to write what he wanted. A living baby would then, after serving the purpose, would be another obstacle, and we know what happens to obstacles.
Police need to start talking these cases very seriously
This is heart breaking... :( rest in peace to these innocent people. .especially baby Girl Shannon...
Sorry Annie, but no 16-year-old child is "ready to be a mom." Just no, not ever. Hoping you take this in the bestie spirit it's intended.
I remember when this happened as I live about an hour south of Cedar springs. It was so sad. Thank you for covering it ❤
I don't recall this case. I'm from Michigan as well. I live in the Grosse Pointes.
i
I've tried to watch so many true crime videos and was not able to get past the bad delivery or bad sound. You're likeable, and tell the story well with care and concern. In case you don't hear it enough ---you're doing a wonderful job !!
Thank you for covering this. I live less than 90 minutes from Cedar Springs and never heard about this when it happened. What a bone chilling story! Newaygo County dropped the ball on this from the day Rachel first reported the rape. Probably all of these people would still be here if not for their lack of action!
Maddening! Police failed all those people
Lawyers don't have a choice as to whether a client takes the stand or not. They can advise them, but every defendant has the Constitutional right to testify on their own behalf, and an attorney cannot deprive them of that right. Some attorneys will threaten to withdraw as attorney of record for the client if they insist upon testifying against their attorney's advice, but judges won't allow that mid trial, and the attorney cannot tell a judge why they think it's a bad idea for their client to testify. The only exception to this is if an attorney knows that a client is guilty, and the client insists upon getting on the stand and lying about their guilt. In that circumstance, the attorney is ethically obligated to ask for a hearing away from the jury, and tell the judge that they cannot allow their client to testify or the attorney would be guilty of subordination of perjury. The judge can't ask what the attorney knows or how they know it. And the attorney cannot fo into detail or divulge any privileged infirmation. But if an attorney knows a client is guilty and allows them to testify without informing the court, they will be guilty of subornation of perjury and if caught, will absolutely lose their law license as a result. But either way, if a client insists upon testifying on their own behalf, an attorney cannot keep them from doing so, absent a recorded instance of the attorney informing the court that they have personal, firsthand information that if the client were to be put on the stand, he would have to commit perjury to answer certain questions (unless the client planned to confess on the stand lol). Even then, the client would still be able to testify. The attorney just wouldn't be able to ask questions the client would lie in order to respond to, and the attorney would still have to inform the court because they could not knowingly allow the client to lie in response to the prosecution's questions, either. But attorneys cannot ever knowingly put someone on the stand if they have told the attorney they're guilty. That's why the first thing a defense attorney ALWAYS tells a client is: "Do not tell me if you're guilty." That really applies more in major felony cases, but they say the same thing with lesser charges, as well. Despite all of this, though, in order to take away a defendant's right to testify, there must exist some type of major issue, such as in the Darrell Brooks case, where he outright refused to answer the judge's questions and would not engage in a colloquy with the court, so the judge could not get his agreement that he would follow the rules and not lie on the stand. That almost never happens. In fact, that's the one and only time I've ever seen someone's right to testify taken from them. I don't believe he was ever planning to testify. I think he did that in a calculated effort to create an issue on appeal, and to avoid having to admit he was too scared to be cross examined by the prosecution team, but I don't believe it will work in his favor. And we all knew exactly why he didn't want to testify.
And this is why SA victims don't come forward and most SOs go unpunished.
FYI you look fabulous. Hope you are feeling better... remember f#@$ the haters and mean people, they do not matter.

Im just So sick 🤢 to my stomach with he walked out a Free man..How absurd
How All These notes didn't Wake the detective's Up That This man did follow through with his threats.. AND Then the letter THAT WORD FOR WORD WAS HIS STATEMENT!
Disheartening and Disgusting hold police department Accountable Please
Trauma from SA, to anyone but someone that young & innocent is one thing. We know that two things affects how trauma affects someone. 1. The trauma itself 2. The things that happen after (family, cops, friends, people believing, do they tell no one, etc) the fact that it happened, she was traumatized by the threats & the cops not only did nothing but sided with HIM it’s NO surprise it led to her doing things to numb the immense pain. Once you start using hard drugs, even once he’s held accountable that’s not a door you can close. I hate that cops do this SOOO often even now. Heartbreaking!
This poor girl got sent to jail for drug use yet a grown adult disgusting man can get away with doing this to her and no jail time. Obviously the trauma of being assaulted like that and everything that happened is what probably led her to that drug use. This is why the system is so broken and this is why feminism still needs to exist
I wonder if sometime defense lawyers are so disgusted by their clients they give some not so great advice or tell them “suuuure… go ahead, get up there & say whatever you want. You’ll be fine.”
Caught you soon after posting!! Love you Annie and the work you put into this!
KEYS! Keys can be used as a formidable weapon and most of us carry a few. They can cut or be used as extra weight in a fist punch. Practice.
I do that sometimes. You can also poke in their eye😮
@yvonnedeboer7535 absolutely. Good thinking!
@@davidlancaster8152 Thanks. I hope it's never necessary!!
@yvonnedeboer7535 I hope your life is blessed and I peace follows you eternally. Always remember everything can be used as a weapon but your most formidable weapon is your brain. Keep it sharp. And smile.
I can’t believe it took the jury 4 hours to deliberate!
They have to make it look like they deliberated
I think this man was too much of a monster to save baby Shannon unfortunately. I pray that she is out there somewhere still alive 🙏
Hi Annie love ❤️ you so much. Every day at 10am we can count on you. Like I said in my last comment you truly are the best and I love the way you deliver all these cases its done phenomenal and the way you emote is everything and so is your personality too. Your always gorgeous 😍. I love how you do old cases new cases and cases in general. I appreciate you so very much 🌸🤍🌸
Seriously, this case infuriates the hell out of me! These people could have been saved and this other poor girl not been assaulted, if police had done their job, it was so bloody obvious but they were too lazy to do what their job and now countless people murdered and lives impacted.
Love you Annie! Thank you for all the hard work that you do. I have so much respect for you ❤
hi annie!! i would love it if you could cover the case of Shiela Murray who was thought to be murdered via neglect by her two children. it's an on-going case, so I'm not sure how much information is out there but i would love to see some coverage on this
Wow that just goes to show you how police work… disgusting… hopefully they’ll find the baby girl and she’s fine. Sending prayers for her .
how in the world did this police dep. not think it was weird that the plaintiff and a witness in a case are both missing? ?
Rachel was not believed by the police. The police really dropped the ball in this case. They should be held accountable for their mistrust in Rachel. Shannon and Rachel were tortured by this dirt bag. I'm so infuriated with how badly the police didn't know what happened to Rachel and baby Shannon. It makes me so ANGRY 😡😡 Shannon was dependent on her mommy to protect her but she was being fed a bunch of pills and other drugs.
Besides the police, it is very sad to me that two of the times the most damage was done to Rachel was when other people led her out of her safe zone to go play cards and then to go on a "date". I know it is hard to deny manipulating people who have a plan but let them do their own dirty work 😢
This video means so much to me. No one talks about our state too often. We learned a valuable lesson on the Flint water crisis and how Michigan rather cover it up hide it sweep it under the rug and forget about it rather than addressing and fixing their own corruption.
I hope that this case is made into a movie! I even know who could be Marvin, Sean Penn. Marvs pic looks just like him!
Hi Annie, I just wanna say Ive been watching you for so long and I truly love your channel. You get me through my makeup sessions and my drives home, thank you for everything you do and for speaking out for the victims
Oh my, i live in cedar springs and will never forget sad heartbreaking. I can't believe your doing this case. I remember one cop who no one liked, he never wanted to listen to anyone
Playing devils advocate, where I live, a lot women lie to “get back” at their SO but, after MULTIPLE reports you’d think someone would do something :/
I’m not sure what reasoning a 17 year old girl would have to lie about a friends uncle.
@@mrsd2950 totally agreed cause this wasn’t a bf or gf situation, so immediately considering the age difference should have been looked into a bit more throughly
@@TylerLWalker-Santillan such a creepy situation. Dude was a hardcore predator.
@@mrsd2950 and looked like it too. The fact they seen a distressed CHILD (age of consent or not) stressing over a grown ass man, don’t get it, won’t get it, can’t get it.
@@TylerLWalker-Santillan I agree so much!
Thank you covering Rachel's case. This is first time of hearing Rachel's story. Annie, you got a big shout out from Stephanie Harlowe today. 😊❤
This case makes me so angry and frustrated and sad
Police need training on how to deal with sexual assault reports. For them to not get that contacting the person who assaulted her after he threatened her & her baby could put them both in danger. Police should be reprimanded when consistently ignoring pleas. Ppl dont go to the police several times for no reason. Someone making false accusations dont usually reappear over & over. And I would be leary to go report her missing to police after they ignored Rachel's pleas.
Annie you are sooo consistent with the uploads 😍 I live in Texas and told my self “there’s no way I’m going to find a new video to watch at 10:30am my time”
But sure enough you have me covered ❤
