I think this is the most well done documentary of an unsolved murder that I have ever seen, and I have seen alot! I appreciate that you have shone a light on this case because the family are devastated and have been for so many years! There is something really off kilter about the story that the two McCall brothers told. They were trying to distract and deflect with all that about her hair looking like Richard's wife's hair. And also that they thought someone might be in the field. And what kind of man would not stop and help a female lying on the road, especially if they thought it was a family member? Whoever killed her would have been covered in blood. They went to get the police and apparently were not covered in blood. But their account of the route they took changed, so had they already gone somewhere and cleaned up? Possibly. I hope this can be resolved sooner than later! Also want to say that the music playing during the video is so beautiful! It honors Deborah to play such beautiful music during this documentary.
Such a brilliant documentary maker. Needs an award on documentary making. Clear voices and sensitive music that doesn’t drown the dialogue. In-depth views from the family and investigators. My heart goes out to the family and friends.
Thank you for being compassionate to Deborah Manning’s family and friends. Violent crimes are like a circles upon circles because they affect and change so many lives
Heartbreaking. I hope someone comes forward with additional information. You can feel the toll this has taken on every member of Deborah's family. The interview with her sister is so devastating. This doc is very well done. I'm glad you're shining a light on Deborah's murder, because she & the awful circumstances of her death should not be forgotten by the wider community.
Thank you for giving a voice to Deborah Manning's family. Her life mattered and she still deserves justice. I hope that new information will emerge to bring her killers to justice and give her family the answers to the excruciating questions they have lived with for 40 years. This was so well done. The music was really beautiful and enhanced the production.
In a world where everything is sensationalised, this was handled with the care and sensitivity that it deserves. I hope the family find peace within themselves, even if we don't find out what did happen x
A very well done documentary, and good to see one that showcases a crime from small town Middle America. It's pretty obvious who murdered Deborah & illustrates that the quality of law enforcement varies widely. Hers is just one of many, many solvable cases in this country; cases that unfortunately happened in jurisdictions that lacked the necessary resources & experience. I feel fortunate to live in a medium-sized state capital whose LE is recognized for their ground-breaking use of genetic genealogy & the newest scientific methods to catch killers. Hopefully this doc spurs resolution, & brings some peace to the family.
I know her Daughter she used to live with my family and she told me about how much she misses her mom and I pray their family gets the closure and justice they deserve 💜
You know, if I happened to come across a body of someone who had been murdered on the side of the road- I sure as hell wouldn't forget the date or her name. Those would be things that would be nearly impossible to forget.
There was no reasonable explanation for changing vehicles. Then he says he didn’t know her, oh wait, maybe he did etc. Who forgets about finding a dead body in a road, buzzed or not? Both of those men are shady as fluff.
The police department covered up the murder bc their own officer & his brother did it. They were out drunk, saw her walking & offered her a ride. Then took turns brutally R@ping her. She tried her hardest to fight them off while they beat her mercilessly. They realized what they did, and the possibility that she could positively identify them. So they couldn’t let her live, and stabbed her to death. Then they thought people possibly saw their truck, and knew it would look bad they had been in the exact spot where she would be found. So they went into town to report it, not realizing she was still alive. I’m sure it freaked them out that she had moved. They made all these excuses why they didn’t get out to help her which is very suspicious especially especially since he said it possibly could have been the officers wife. You would think they would have got out to help her, what husband would just drive off….NONE! Then before going back to the department to give a statement, they changed vehicles/clothes??? The investigators just took their word at face value, and didn’t question them again? They say the reason is bc he was a cop/brother, BS! Then they didn’t collect evidence that would be crucial to solve the case. Many times I have heard of investigators, collecting evidence that they are unable to test at the time and preserving it to be tested later once technology has advanced in case it becomes a cold case. And the evidence that they did collect, they didn’t preserve it, and let it get contaminated and lost. And the autopsy suspiciously couldn’t give a conclusive answer as to if she was SA….BS! The cop went to his sheriff at the time, told him that he had made a mistake, and that’s when the cover-up started. Sheriff knew he was in way over his head with this case, yet declined to call a department that had the resources and would be able to investigate thoroughly? The sheriff said that he had all the resources he needed to be able to investigate, but that was found to be a lie. What the report is saying the investigation interviews were all BS like they weren’t truly trying to find any information out. The police department officers that are working now. Can’t see the corruption that was truly going on then they’re in on it too. They definitely won’t wrongdoings I didn’t hear an apology Once in any episode. All I heard was was blaming all mistakes on something out of their control. This whole case is totally messed up. They will never be able to solve this case because the prior officers working in the police department at that time made sure they wouldn’t be able to. I’m so sad that family that they will never get any answers. Like they didn’t think they should collect possible DNA on the victim, and the guy from st Louis sounds made up. They have made up leads to try to keep the family at bay!
how did the cop and his brother not assume that she was not hit by a car since she was in the ditch and they couldn't see her covered in blood to then assume that there might be someone with a weapon and all they had to do was shine their lights from the van into the field also what happened to the part of the oath of to protect ? i can smell the stink of that story all the way up here in canada ......... love from hamilton ontario canada
Wow..... This story is just one for the "good Ole boys"... There has to be some kind of way to prove something. Her family and how they still grieve, breaks my heart for them. I hope one day they get justice. Your videos are phenomenal, please keep making them!
You & your team did a great job on this. I hope it gives the family some comfort to know that Deborah has not been forgotten, & that even strangers are hoping & praying for justice for Deborah.
Also, to be an officer and just drive by because you're "scared" doesn't sound anything like what an officer would do, on or off duty! It's inconceivable to believe that.
those 2 who 'found' her' & one a police officer... there was a house right up on that road, very close to the victim... they don't go there, make a phone call & go back to the victim?! to check her vitals & or contain an obvious crimes gene?
Excellent work. May your dedication to this case lead to resolution, much as the "In Your Own Backyard" podcast helped tremendously in resolving the Kristin Smart case.
The one's that found her seem suspicious to me. And the driver, Rick, was a cop!? Is that right? Both believed it looked like one of their wives but didn't say it to each other and none of them checked to see if it was his wife. That's a whole different level of cowardice if you're a cop and you're afraid to check on a dying naked lady that you think could be your wife. That's very unlikely! If any of you have driven a vehicle from that time period you'd know how little those headlights illuminate the road, let alone the ditches, it's hard to believe these two honed in on her frosted hair and both believed her to be the Rick's wife from driving past her.
My best friend said she knew she'd never grow old, and was killed in a car accident a couple weeks after telling me this. Sometimes, people just feel it coming. :(
❤ Wow!! Beautiful job. Very nicely done. I'm not sure how I've never seen your channel until now, but I'm here now. Your coverage is done with empathy and respect and without bias. Bravo. Keep up the great work.
I don't know if it is in episode 1 or 2 but someone stated that some of the reports are missing from some of the interviews. Who had access ? Missing as in reports never documented or missing as in taken?
Just now finding this documentary, this is very impressive presentation. Ive watched so many crime shows, cold cases, this is the best ive seen of such unpleasant tragedies.
I think the McCalls are suspicious too! The one brother thought it was solved and acted all surprised when they told him no it wasn’t 🤔 Plus why would they change cars?
That police officer diving past an obviously dying woman because he was scared … something tells me he was winging it in the wrong profession… how utterly disappointing of a law enforcement professional they’re there to serve and protect the public… unless of course it’s a woman being murdered or attacked… what was wrong with stopping, assessing .. doing cpr and calling an ambulance and back up … who leaves someone to die alone that that is a very special sort of selfish evil … Image she was still barely clinging to life at that point trying to reach somewhere to get herself help … then seeing police arrive see her and drive away… what last bit of hope in humanity must have drained completely from her:
I thought, based on the timeline and eyewitness statements as related in Episode 1, it was pretty obvious who the killers were. Their blustering and nonsensical explanations for their actions that night really clinch it for me. The police should have seen right through that cock-and-bull story back in 1983.
Deborah may have gotten in the car accepting an offer of a ride to where she was going because she trusted one of the people in the vehicle. But the person(s) had other plans and things got carried away and they couldn't let her go because she knew who they were. Deborah may have gotten away and been in the ditch hiding. Then when the "van" left she crawled up to the road hoping to be found. The home that noticed the lights of a vehicle moving and stopping. That sounds like she got away and someone is searching trying to get her back and finish the job.
30:16 - where he says "Rick was a cop (unintelligible)" I was unaware of the fact that the caption stated "unintelligible" which was why I rewatched the clip- I couldn't believe that it sounded like he said "surely we could get out of this" "I was worried, but I knew I didn't do nothin'. Rick was a cop so surely we could get out of this. Well, we didn't do shit. We found her."
I would be chucking a mannequin into that ditch and taking a drive down that very dark road, just to prove if you could actually see it, doesn't make them guilty I know, but it proves they are liars. Thanks very much, good Crime channels are hard to find these days.
Wow... to learn this case hasn't been resolved, I feel so sad for the family and friends that knew and loved Debbie Manning 😢 to be honest the moment I saw the guy who used to be violent towards her while Debbie was a live I got a weird feeling about him. I honestly do think that his Mother and Sister cover/lied for him. My deepest condolences to the family and friends. Debbie Manning R.I.P. 🕯💐🙏😔
The man they were just talking to ( right before 34:25ish on the phone ) should be investigated thoroughly. He sounds like he knows more than he’s sayin. And… how do you forget who saw her first. Smdh you DON’T forget stuff like that. Also small town people know everyone and he didn’t know the case hasn’t been solved 🙄 Smdh yea ok
From the very first second I heard about those 2 “officers” “guards” or whatever they were, seeing her body and leaving her there to go report it instead of STOPPING, uhhh it is “to protect and serve” after all, I thought the whole scenario sounded fishy and thought they were the ones who killed her! It’s like all of a sudden a knowing down to my bones came over me and really made me feel like they did it. 🤷🏼♀️
Hmmm, 🤔Here's a starting point for that swab- the two brothers that "found" Deborah... you know - the off duty police officer! (Why is that becoming so prevalent in murders and their cover ups?) .... and as trained police officers didn't take down the number of the empty truck? Oh, yeah, I believe you!!! It's more plausible why Deborah believed she would be dead. I wonder what she knew?
I sincerely believe that law enforcement have failed another family because of their 'code' ... but, in this case the team of investigators who put this video together have researched the case thoroughly and put the pieces together causing no doubts ... and we all know who the murderer is, and I hope this information can offer the family SOME closure ... there is no justice, and the pain and grief can not be erased ... for now.
you can feel the pain threw her loved once voice... the monsters who did this to her may walk free on earth but in Gods eyes they will never be unnoticed their day will come!
That Virgil Gill looks crazyer than a bed bug his eyes are crazy and dead. Don't know why they wouldn't look at him more with all the trama she with through at his hand. Rest in peace Deborah 🕊️
Here’s a good question…did the off duty policeman or his brother call from the police station to where Melba was to see if she was ok? Further, what was their demeanor when they got to the station? In a hurry, anxious, did they mention Melba?
If she wasn't cremated then, they could get fingernail clippings and a vacuum of her female area, etc. The technology for DNA collection and sorting has currently grown to that point. It's well worth a try since there's zero leads. I just watched a case where they did it and found DNA. Then, they called the female forensic genealogist that found the BTK killer thru familial DNA to help them find the killer. I believe her body would solve this even today. There HAS to be DNA on her remains and it's collectable now.
The female DNA found on her could be run through a number the genetic genealogy sites. Given the weapon and method of attack there might be military training involved. I think they also keep genetic information - don't know if they would allow police searches on it though.
People evil is out there amongst us 😐. Never stop seeking the TRUTH!! KARMA DRIVES A BIG BUS AND KNOWS EVERYBODY'S ADDRESS!! Who evers responsible for this horrific crime, you will be caught, COUNT ON IT!! GOD KNOWS ALL!!
I assume they didn't collect nail clippings for testing 😢 So unfortunate that the couple near the crime scene didn't have the info to help solve this crime. I hope for justice ❤
Just a recommendation to the editors of this programme; please don’t put text for the viewers to read, while there’s someone talking in the background,making points I’d like to hear, but can’t, BECAUSE THERES TEXT TO READ ON THE SCREEN! 😖😖😖…Thanks! 💁🏼♀️ Appreciate the programme nonetheless!…✌🏼🇨🇦
They (cops ) sure don’t seem very interested in this case. Maybe because they all got fat & lazy & they have to break away from the chow hall. I know they can do more than they’re doing & they need to put some fire under their butts & solve this case for her family. Again the family should contact Cold Justice because they solve most of their cold cases. I’m sorry to the family this ain’t right.
What was the husband's reason for not letting her take the kids, sounds like he new something, and she already said that she new she was fixing to die and was saying what she wanted to be buried in, makes stop and really think
The cop and his brother. The Police should finally properly investigate the brother before he dies too. That man is such a lier. "What was her name?" - Oh, really :(
That’s funny because everyone else LOVES the production of this. And that’s because The Local Whisper focuses on the families and their love for the victim, Deborah Manning. Not just the drama, but how the loved ones feel and their concern and desire to find the truth. These are their words that they wish for the world to know and you’re bashing that. Shame. Next time, don’t bother watching/commenting if you can’t appreciate the hard work of the cast and production.
You mean you want loud, intrusive music, a narrator who’s in your face and see the same photos over and over again? Then this is not the right channel for you.

hope you investigate more rural cases, they don't get the attention they deserve. Great work.
Proud of this group who have donated their time, talent, and money to helping this family seek answers and justice (God willing).
Heartbreaking. I hope someone comes forward with additional information. You can feel the toll this has taken on every member of Deborah's family. The interview with her sister is so devastating.

i was so hooked!

If only you worked with her on a regular basis! 😄
Can't wait
Thank you for the upload. Hope they catch whoever is responsible and hope Deborah is resting easy x

There was no reasonable explanation for changing vehicles. Then he says he didn’t know her, oh wait, maybe he did etc. Who forgets about finding a dead body in a road, buzzed or not?

got that too, the direction of travel changed, and immediate knowledge of 2 crime scenes, would there be third party being covered for?
Wonderful work on her case. One of the best documentaries on an unsolved case I have seen. I hope the family finds peace.
Who were all of these cowardly abusive men in her life? 😢
Amazing series guys!
Wow..... This story is just one for the "good Ole boys"... There has to be some kind of way to prove something.
Her family and how they still grieve, breaks my heart for them. I hope one day they get justice.
Your videos are phenomenal, please keep making them!
Amazingly well done Good Job Local Whisper
I’m so proud of everyone!!! Such a sad story, and I’m glad it’s getting some light

These are so very well done! Thank you so much for trying to help her loved ones...the truth be known 🙏🏻
It’s weird to me that an off-duty police officer wasn’t strapped… especially when out driving around at that time of the night.
Cool point
Also, to be an officer and just drive by because you're "scared" doesn't sound anything like what an officer would do, on or off duty! It's inconceivable to believe that.
Or would be too scared to get out because it's dark - to serve and protect - that just RCMP 🇨🇦

They relied heavily on eye witnesses and confessions.

Did investigators check her set of keys for DNA? Woman walking along if heard truck coming may have used her keys to protect herself.
Here’s a good question…did the off duty policeman or his brother call from the police station to where Melba was to see if she was ok? Further, what was their demeanor when they got to the station? In a hurry, anxious, did they mention Melba?
u 2 can drive home to switched vehicles?.. .. then u cld have washed, change shoes, clothes & wipe down first vehicle
If she wasn't cremated then, they could get fingernail clippings and a vacuum of her female area, etc. The technology for DNA collection and sorting has currently grown to that point. It's well worth a try since there's zero leads. I just watched a case where they did it and found DNA. Then, they called the female forensic genealogist that found the BTK killer thru familial DNA to help them find the killer. I believe her body would solve this even today. There HAS to be DNA on her remains and it's collectable now.
Hope this isn't a one off video. Quality channel
The female DNA found on her could be run through a number the genetic genealogy sites. Given the weapon and method of attack there might be military training involved. I think they also keep genetic information - don't know if they would allow police searches on it though.
Consent 4 DNA? Follow an get a cup or the trash of who u suspect.
Once again, townies covering for townies, specifically popo townies.
People evil is out there amongst us 😐. Never stop seeking the TRUTH!! KARMA DRIVES A BIG BUS AND KNOWS EVERYBODY'S ADDRESS!! Who evers responsible for this horrific crime, you will be caught, COUNT ON IT!! GOD KNOWS ALL!!
I assume they didn't collect nail clippings for testing 😢 So unfortunate that the couple near the crime scene didn't have the info to help solve this crime. I hope for justice ❤
Just a recommendation to the editors of this programme; please don’t put text for the viewers to read, while there’s someone talking in the background,making points I’d like to hear, but can’t, BECAUSE THERES TEXT TO READ ON THE SCREEN! 😖😖😖…Thanks! 💁🏼♀️ Appreciate the programme nonetheless!…✌🏼🇨🇦
They (cops ) sure don’t seem very interested in this case. Maybe because they all got fat & lazy & they have to break away from the chow hall. I know they can do more than they’re doing & they need to put some fire under their butts & solve this case for her family. Again the family should contact Cold Justice because they solve most of their cold cases. I’m sorry to the family this ain’t right.
I agree with you

What was the husband's reason for not letting her take the kids, sounds like he new something, and she already said that she new she was fixing to die and was saying what she wanted to be buried in, makes stop and really think
40 years of cold injustice. I think the two brothers murdered Deborah.
The cop and his brother. The Police should finally properly investigate the brother before he dies too. That man is such a lier. "What was her name?" - Oh, really :(
all the officers I know are always strap , ALL THE TIME
Would be great to have a psychic in this case. ❤
Lol. The case is "unsolvable" cause the killer was a cop. You don't need to be a "psychic" to figure that out.
Just started watching but I wondered if the guys dna could have been on some clothes he donated. Just a thought.
Where was Superman in Metropolis when you needed him?
2mins in they dont know much !
Annoying music.
With all due respect I think a lot of this stuff would stop if girls and woman would not get there self in mite could turn bad positions
Or how about this men not act like wild animals …always thinking with the head that has no brain…
They WILL figure this out. Have faith.
Very sad but OMG this is the most boring program that I have ever watched. HOrrible!!!!!!
That’s funny because everyone else LOVES the production of this. And that’s because The Local Whisper focuses on the families and their love for the victim, Deborah Manning. Not just the drama, but how the loved ones feel and their concern and desire to find the truth. These are their words that they wish for the world to know and you’re bashing that. Shame. Next time, don’t bother watching/commenting if you can’t appreciate the hard work of the cast and production.
Constructive criticism is appreciated, Mean-spirited comments are a reflection of the person who feels the need to do this. Sad…
You mean you want loud, intrusive music, a narrator who’s in your face and see the same photos over and over again? Then this is not the right channel for you.
Should have been charged and put in prison for not helping
The cops couldn't care less then and now
