I know the area a little bit, Morgan Hill is such a nice place. I'm sorry for your friend and your loss. It seems like yesterday, I was living in San Jose, California during this tragic case, now I live near Daly City in a little city called Colma City, California. Are you still in the Bay area ‽
@@joekulik999 you obviously haven't lost anyone in a tragic way before, or you would know that you never "Move on" you just learn to push the feelings down so you can carry on... But those feelings still pop up out of nowhere. That's just part of it... Be kind. It doesn't cost a thing. 😘

You don’t have to be rude to a person who is still grieving after losing a friend in such a horrible tragic way. They can grieve as long as they need to.

Its a shame he never told them where she was. As a woman who has lived through 2 different family murders, one still unsolved 30 yrs later, i know how they feel sunce they were never abke to bring her home.
Heartbreaking... Such a beautiful young girl taken too soon. And for what? Some creeps sexual gratification? He deserves the death penalty... My heart goes out to the family. This is a heartache that won't ever go away. 😔💔🙏🏽
@@RicheetheBee The way they let them sit on death row for YEARS, until they either die of natural causes or get vigilante justice from other inmates is about the same thing as basically life in prison. Which is hopefully no picnic for these monsters who hurt children.

On average 2,300 kids go missing every DAY is the US. They can only guess which is the one or two who are foul play. I get so bloody sick of the 'all cops are awful' bandwagon. There are scum in every aspect of life, even police forces. Could be worse, could be as bad as the churches
This is why I drive my kids to and from school, people out here are sick! RIP to this girl and condolences goes out to her family. I hope they find her remains so she can get a proper burial.
Why wasn't he already behind bars for attacking women in the parking lot? Until our society takes stalking, assault and rape seriously, more women and girls will have to die before anything is done. My prayers goes out to her family, and all those who knew and loved her.
I’m torn between letting a murderer have a lighter sentence or dismissing that completely in the event remains would be found anyway. That would be so damn hard.
I love your channel!! I just found it today and I have been binge watching nonstop. This is better than shows on tv… Needs to be picked up by a channel. This is hot! I love you get the story out and what happens within 20-45 minutes way it outta be. Some of these shows just drag it out saying same thing over and over till you get uninterested or you turn the channel because it’s taking to damn long.. The timing yall do is perfect.no repeating and dragging out the outcome!! Keep em coming gonna watch all you got. I’ve enjoyed this very much.
3 times for attempt kidnapping and the justice system wonders why. It’s the same old story. Cheers after 5 years that they finally did their job after Sierra is dead.
That’s so true. That word should be banished from use when it comes to things like this. I am the sister of a murder victim, and closure is just nothing but a word. It doesn’t exist.
I heard the guy on Adventures with Purpose here on UA-cam say, ‘we give the family answers-not closure.’ That feels right to me in these situations. The families get answers.

'Tough' enough to attack (young) women, but not tough enough to give up her buriel place. A real psychopath...He cannot help his brain works like that, but it it makes me so angry. There is no justification in this 🤬🤬🤬
It is horrible horrible. When any person goes missing, is met with foul play in any way. I cannot imagine what this family must be going through and my heart goes out to them. And I know that is the most important thing so this next comment is going to sound trivial. I’m so sick and freaking tired of people releasing balloons when someone dies or when someone’s missing. The balloons do not go up to heaven they go up for just a little bit and then they all fall to the ground and kill innocent animals. They kill hundreds of innocent animals. When will this ignorance stop? When will people realize that releasing balloons don’t go to heaven and don’t show any love for the person they’re trying to represent it just shows ignorance and it’s littering.
I lived in Morgan Hill for a year when I was a kid in the mid 90's. Sierra was a baby back then and wasn't living in Morgan Hill yet. I never met her. My heart breaks for her family. R.I.P. Sierra! 💔😢😇🕊️💐
When parents tell the cops that their child is missing and they would not run away they should start looking right away.The longer they wait the less they will be found. Even if a adult goes missing they should look for them too.If they are found if they don't won't to come back at least the family will know they are alive.
Seriously???? On WHAT evidence was he convicted on??? There's NO body, NO crime scene.... meaning there CANNOT be ANY evidence CONNECTING him to the MISSING GIRL.
I just wish one thing. People would stop using the word closure. When it comes to any type of crime where you lose someone, wether they’re found or not wether there is someone held accountable or not. It doesn’t matter, closure is just not a word that means anything. You never have closure no matter what. I am the sister of a murder victim, and every time I heard that word used in our case or any other it just makes my stomach clench. People who have never gone through such a tragedy could never rally understand closure never exists. Family friends and everyone who loves Sierra I’m so very sorry hugs to you all ❤
I live in Fremont which isn't very far from Morgan Hill, and I remember this story captivated the entire Bay Area when it happened. One of the craziest stories in recent years around here. It still shocks me they never got the guy to reveal the location of her remains. I could think of a few ways to make him talk... but laws are in place that literally protect people like him from being "persuaded". Sad. RIP Sierra.
I'm so,so sorry. Why won't he just let people know where she is. He is an awful human being so he has no remorse. He should not be able to enjoy 1 more day on this earth......
R.I.P. SIERRA LAMAR I know you're in heaven watching over your Love ones after all these years not being found. My PRAYERS and CONDOLENCES to all your family and friends. My BLESSINGS to all. 😥💔😇✝️🛐🙏🇵🇷 FROM PUERTO RICO
Most first degree murderers are jailed for life or given the death penalty. What could anyone offer that would force him to disclose where her remains are? Not much he can be threatened with & no one can force another person to say or do anything, unfortunately.
@7.41 "To whoever ...holding against her will you feel like you are afraid but please don't worry about getting in trouble please release my Sierra to me". What kind of dumb statement is that? No matter how desperate you are you just can't tell the kidnapper that what he has done is OK as long as he releases the victim.
So ridiculous...what does it matter even if a minor did run away!?!? They still need to be found cuz they are a damn MINOR AND SHOULD BE HOME WITH THEIR PARENTS!!!! So not sure why they need to waste any time debating if they ran away it SHOULDN'T MATTER!!!
This was a very poorly reported story. It jumps all over the place and is very hard to follow. I’m happy they found him guilty but he should tell them where her remains are.
Reasons come out only after Miss Sierra's journey home! 💔 🤬! When your friend says, "This is what's happening"...but Please Don't say anything! SAY ANYTHING SAY EVERYTHING!
He should be convinced to reveal her resting place. This demon continues breathing while this young girl didn't have these choices! ⚖️ to live and breathe was also Her Right! Back to hell demon! 🔥

Stop letting balloons go into the sky people!!!! Extremely bad for the animals! Stop doing things that we’ll kill innocent animals just because you have lost something doesn’t give you the right to do something so stupid! Lots of others ways to spread the love for your loved one ! Think about the world people not just you in the world !
Why did it take them fining her phone an clothes before they actually took it seriously. The min she was reported missing even as a teenager it should have been an all hands on deck and treated like a homicide until proved otherwise. They wonder why the criminals are always a step ahead. Bless her beautiful soul.
I wish they would have told this creep hed get death if he didnt tell where she was ,so very very sad ,if only this creep had been locked up for a long time after he tried to grab these other women ,maybe he wouldnt have been out to murder this child but maybe they didnt know who had committed those near kidnappings ,they didny say .
If i was her mom Id be so mad at the prosecutors for letting him get life without telling where she is insteada death penalty they shoulda found a friggn way!
They took the death pen off the table so that gave him no reason to tell where Sierra was. That is California. Too cruel. Please this guy a dog. He had a young daughter like 4 or 5. Now she knows her dad a murderer and a rapist that lives on. Should have been death penalty negotiation. Shame on prosecutors and California
As soon as they showed scenes of suspected fishing spots and wildly rushing waterways, I figured at this point there is no body left to be found resting anywhere. She's gone. And I bet he tossed her into water somewhere just to insure it. May he rot in hell.
You can’t help but wonder how many children are being taken for the black market whatever that entails they say the most important time to watch your children is the day of “Passover” and Halloween.

Right. You never know when one will run into the wrong person! This dismissive attitude most stop.
Should not be released unless he gives up the location of the body. Coercive control even in death.
He should NEVER be released. He`s evil to his scumbag core.
He shouldn't be released ever, even if he does reveal the location of her body.
