i agree. i doubt riley’s mother was unaware that he was a drug user. not saying everyone who uses drugs is a potential murderer, but when you have children you need to be especially careful who you let around them. especially men you haven’t known long when you have a teenage girl! hearing that riley told her boyfriend she was afraid of andy was heartbreaking :(
I agree and also dont let women Step parent in general should be choose for the sake of childern first The latest case of samuel olson broke my heart poor baby was so pure And Zahra Baker she faced canser with golden heart but couldnt fight the humans worst than canser And i cant undertstand how bio moms and dads let evil step parent do all of this to those poor childern As you said protect your kids first and foremost
So many cases where this happens, and coddling the mothers/fathers and pretending they had no idea something like this could happen will only lead to more. We need to educate parents and hold them accountable for putting their children at risk. Letting a drug addict who YOU KNEW was sexually aggressive live in your house with your 15 years old kid IS putting your children at risk.
I’ve been saying this for a while and the response is always “the moms a victim too” … so it’s okay for her to keep her kids in that environment? I’m confused. These women still hold A TON of responsibility.
EXACTLY!! It’s not as if the poor children have a choice to just leave if they want too. I don’t care if there is people that disagree with this opinion because it’s the TRUTH. These mums/dads bring in these random people in their houses and sometimes the parent ignores all the signs or just goes along with things that are happening.
@@belleboy129 It just enrages me. Who is sitting here acting like the mum is COMPLETELY innocent of any wrongdoing?? She endangered her BABIES! No one normal is saying that the ACTUAL perpetrator is not the main person responsible - he's disgusting. But are people seriously going to try and neglect the wrongdoings of the victim's mother?
Also, drug addiction has nothing to do with someone being a murderer/sexual predator.. that’s a correlation that doesn’t need to be put together.. as an ex addict I’d never do anything like that nor thought about it.
What’s messed up is the Mother is still supporting this “man”. A lot of people in the area believe the mother played a role in it. You are there first person I’ve seen on YT to cover her case.
This honestly breaks my heart. The fact she texted her boyfriend being uncomfortable that he came into her room. I can relate. My friends step dad sexually assaulted me when I was under the age of 12 and my brother walked in on it. I am so thankful for him and that he was able to help me speak up about it. This poor girl :( :( :(
Yeah. You as well as your poor brother. I would freak out if it was my sister. That is not what a kid should experience. I'm so sorry. And it really angers me. What I would do to that demon right now?
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. It breaks my heart to hear these kinds of things and it sickens me to know that there are so many cold hearted depraved psychopaths out there that do these things. We live in a world full of monsters and demons hiding in human bodies. Never let your guard down and never ever underestimate anybody. My heart aches for anyone who ever has had to go through these things. God bless you.
i grew up with an awful step father. i had many nights that i was uncomfortable and unsure if i should go to sleep. i am saddened by how i know she must have felt in the months leading up to this.
This story reminds me of that story from for inside your head from my little ship between the mirror and the window the sun aims a ray my way illuminating my creation, god my god, before the Sun the sun, behind my god sailing into light beyond the sight of my little ship inside your head
I’m sorry you had to grow up feeling that way... so cliche, but I truly try to take the things from my past and use it towards positives and make myself stronger. Which you obviously have done for yourself as well. I wish Riley had gotten to the chance.
I'm sorry you went through that ❤ I used to lock my door. My SF told my mother (no locked doors allowed for safety reasons) so she confiscated the key. I barricaded my door every night with my dressing table.
I think it’s time for society to start holding women/mothers accountable when they allow men who show reckless, drug/sexually aggressive behaviors around their children. It almost always comes out after the deaths of their children, that they were well aware of such behavior happening. And it’s typically a non-biological boyfriend/partner. They are complicit.
@@alexandradorman3034 Victims or not, it is their responsibility to keep their kids out of harms way. Also, many women know exactly who they’re getting in a relationship with before it even gets to this point, but they chose a man’s “love” over their children.
I won’t speak for any other victims since all of our situations are different but in my situation I absolutely agree with what you said. I was groomed at 17 by a 27 year old who ended up abusing me for 5 years. As sad as it is I definitely would have let him kill me if it wasn’t for my children. The last day we were together was the only time in 5 years that I stood up to him. And the only reason I did was due to the realization that he was trying to start emotionally abusing my oldest son (who was three at the time) in order to hurt me. He had really destroyed my self esteem so I would always justify his abuse towards myself, but my kids…my kids is where I draw the line. That was the first and the last day he ever attempted to hurt them. I was able to get my kids to safety by sacrificing myself, and by the end of the fight he thought he had killed me and dragged my body into the woods behind our house. He even admitted to the judge he was going to “wait till dark” to bury me. Thankfully I was only knocked out and was able to get up, walk a mile to my closest neighbor’s house and call the police. My kids and I have been free ever since. The point of that novel was to point out that my children were the ONLY reason I fought back. I didn’t care about the punching, kicking, the choking, or anything else he was doing to me. I figured I was going to die and I was at peace with it because I knew in that moment my children were safe. Just the thought of them being abused or hurt was enough for me to get them out of the situation. I know every situation is different and not everyone is as lucky as I was, I just genuinely cannot imagine knowing my child is being abused and is scared to be at home but I just stand by and do nothing. I would rather die protecting them than to live knowing I did nothing. I’m only speaking for my situation though. There are hundreds of mothers who are desperately trying to get themselves and their children to safety but aren’t able to. What we need is better resources available to all victims of domestic abuse. A major reason why DV victims don’t automatically leave is due to lack of funds and isolation. If victims knew they would have shelter, transportation, and trauma support we would see a significant decrease in these stories. Victims feel like they have no way out and we need to show them they do 💙
@@meganperry2962 but this isn’t always the case and you can’t hold all women accountable because that wouldn’t give actual women a voice it would make them part of the problem when it’s not always the case that they knew.
@@tiffanysbeautyhouse755 my comment didn’t apply to those know didn’t know. It was towards women who are very aware and still allow those men around their children… and it’s A LOT of women. The mother in this case was aware, she holds some responsibility.
This is why you don’t let drug addicts live in a home with your children and she said herself that he became sexually aggressive when using. That’s the person you leave alone with your children? No thanks. The lack of personal accountability is insane.
i agree. i normally would never “blame” the family of a victim but i don’t know how a mother could let a man like that be around her teenage girl. she knew. but she put her relationship over her daughter’s wellbeing. unfortunately, riley’s mother isn’t completely innocent in all this. maybe she never expected murder but still, she knew he was dangerous, and riley would still be here if she chose her boyfriends more carefully.
@@griffenerica I think there’s a big diff Btwn victim blaming and being well aware that some murders can be prevented by the persons choice. It’s not like someone who went to the bank & got murdered or kidnapped during a run or even knowing a person who never showed a violent tendency. When I hear it was a drug addict, sex worker, or a parent who didn’t protect their children- it’s not a shocking thing. My biggest pet peeve are women who bring men around their kids just bc they can’t be alone. If my kid told me she didn’t like my partner- that’s it. However, my hubs didn’t meet my kid until we dated for 3 years and she was almost out the door to college.
Heartbreaking! That last text to her boyfriend telling him she was scared of her moms boyfriend is just horrible, he is a monster who knows how long he was planning n waiting. This poor girl I can't even imagine what she went through. So young n full of life, taken way too soon. R.I.P Riley
It is so horrible, and so sad, it's unimaginable. That monster needs to,(at the very least) be locked up for the rest of his pathetic, loser, life. He took her life, and ruined her mom's life too. Her mother will never get over something like that, and she will most likely blame herself forever.
My daughter after my divorce had only met one other man besides her dad. I dated him for 6 months before I let him met my 4yr old. And we dated for 2yrs before we moved in together. He loved her & treated her like she was his own. That was her JonJon. There's nothing he wouldn't have done to protect her & me. We recently lost him to a hit & run. My daughter & I are absolutely devastated & heartbroken. Cases like this would make him so angry & physically sick. He was such a proud loving stepdad for the 15yrs we had him. A couple months before he was killed he said his happiest moments were making my daughter micky mouse pancakes & watching SpongeBob. He was a big lovable kid himself. My heart just breaks for Riley. RIP baby girl. My heart breaks for her mom & her family. As I write this I can hardly see through the tears. I don't understand people who can hurt a child. Why is it that good men like my husband looses their lives & pos like him are out & about committing these sickening crimes. And they still don't know who hit my husband & it's been 4 months & I don't think they ever will. I hope & pray that Riley & her family get the justice they deserve. And I hope he rots.
@@AVSgirl1985 Thank you. He was he really really was. This will be my first Thanksgiving without him & tbh I wish I could just curl up into a ball & shut the world out. But thanks again I hope if you celebrate Thanksgiving that you have a very Happy one❤✌Hope you have a awesome day too
This is heartbreaking and so senseless! I hope he rots in prison and his crimes are known to other inmates bc they don’t tolerate his kind! May she Rest In Peace
I'm a mother of a son and daughter and besides their father there is no man that can come into our home and live. I pray this family can move forward and remember they will always have an Angel by their side
My mother married my stepfather when I was 6 and I thank God every day for him. He is not my stepdad, he is my dad. Yes, this is horrible but not all stepdads are awful. Check your statistics; the person most likely to kill a child is their biological father. I'm all for putting your children first but this martyr attitude gets old. No one criticises single fathers for falling in love.
I’m with you sis. My daughter is 16 and her father and I split when she was 12. He is the only man in her life, and her grandfathers. I am super paranoid, and I think I will just stay single until she is an adult. It’s no issue, because I have no desire to date anyway.
How many explanations was this mom going to think of before she thought it was weird her daughter was missing and not answering texts? I'm sorry, we always say not to blame parents in those scenarios but that is ridiculous in this case. if your child is normally super dependable and keeps in contact with you, then suddenly disappeared and stopped, HOW can you say, "Oh maybe it's just her being rebellious?" come on. also...keeping a drug user around your kid is absolutely inexcusable. let's stop making excuses for the mom.
I really hate to agree with you but I 110% do. I just feel bad blaming the parents because I just can't imagine what they're going through but in this case it's like come on! This man was clearly sketchy, a drug user, a liar, didn't have a driver's license and most importantly according to her "can be sexually violent while on drugs." WHAT?! Why was this man anywhere near her daughter? It makes no sense.
I've been closer to the drug scene than I care to explain so when I heard the mother "sick, sleeping on the couch, too busy..." I call BS!! Those were the same symptoms her bf! Sadly, IMO, Riley was the parent. I hate this!! 🤬
We are still culpable for our actions, with or without drugs. Responsibility is something we must choose to accept. This mom didn’t. That’s the truth. I am a recovered addict and I MADE THOSE CHOICES. Once I accepted responsibility I made a new choice.
I think she was too focused on what the police could find that didn’t have to do with Riley to care about her daughter. “Oh, I’ll wait and see if she comes because I know I could go to jail for x, y, z.”
This case makes me so glad I made the decision after my divorce, not to have a relationship until my teenage children had graduated. It was so important to me not to further stress them , being a teenager and watching your parent's divorce is hard enough. RIP Riley. it shouldn't be this way in this life but heaven will be better.
Thanks for doing this case, My eldest Daughter is 15 in 2 weeks, it's an extra reminder to keep checking in with her, and to make sure we have all Our safety checks and communication happening.
I feel for for the family. Riley was taken away in a horrible tragic way 😢 I also feel terrible for Hayden I truly hope he finds comfort in the fact that justice has been served. No one is responsible for what happened accept for the monster that took her life so cruelly. R.I.P Riley 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@RachelShannon also, idk if anyone clarified, but she was so badly decomposed because he had poured lime all over her. It was all over the bed of his truck too.
@@CaseyMenefee my daughter (she’s 12 lol) is listening to this case with me and we looked up the weather in the area trying to find a reason for the extensive decomp and it didn’t really add up and my daughter literally said ‘I wonder if someone poured something on her?’ I said maybe they used Lyme or something… Crazy!!!
Local for me as well, I live accross the street from where her home used to be.. the whole thing was crazy.. it was really disturbing when the police and such searched her home :( I’m glad they were able to get all this evidence asap!
And why was the mother keeping a sexually aggressive drug abuser in her house, near her daughter?? It was not like she didn't know what he was. She said she did! Sorry, but adults should stop dragging dangerous people in to their childrens life. The children should be the nro 1 priority for their parents. Poor kid had to be afraid in her own home because of the man her mother dragged in to her life. Riley didn't have a choice, but her mother did. It really angers me. I'm sorry but we can't shut our eyes and mouths about this issue. It's literally killing children.
I live only 30 minutes away from this area and I followed this case. The weather in this area changes so drastically. At that time, it was warm and wet at that time. Not good weather for preserving anything.
I'm not an expert but watching true crime for years, the environment and temperature has a big impact on the body. If its humid and damp enough, decomposition can be speeded up greatly. Poor angel, didn't deserve this, she had her whole life ahead of her. RIP Riley.
Yes this is terrible.. I lived and still live across the street from her home.. they did a demolition on the house and now it’s a parking lot :( Ive been so glad to see her case has been brought to justice!! Prosecuting attorney did a wonderful job for the parents!
I agree with you on all counts Rachel. The only person responsible is the one who harmed Riley. Such a heartbreaking case. I am glad that they were able to give him the maximum sentence. Good job Rachel.
The mom said she searched her room for a note.. I don’t believe that she could have searched and not noticed the blood, in fact I don’t believe that she searched because she already knew what happened
I am loving your new hair colors! And I’m glad to hear you talk about taking time for yourself… I am a nurse also and we are natural caretakers of others, but don’t always remember to take the time for ourselves:) I also appreciate you covering less known cases, and the unsolved. I know that people don’t tend to like unsolved cases because it’s so frustrating not to know the outcome… However I can’t even imagine how heart wrenching must be for the families. Hopefully the coverage will help bring a new lead or best scenario a resolution for these some of these cases.
This is absolutely heartbreaking🥺💔 I have a daughter that is about a month older then Riley.... we just celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday. I can't imagine how her parents are feeling as Riley's 18th approaches. On another note your videos are absolutely amazing and you are one of my favorites🤗
These scenarios are more common than you’d like to think possible. Women chose their own personal wants and needs over prioritizing the security and safety of their children. Hence look at our foster system.
Idk why tiktok keeps saying women watch true crime for survival tips. No, it’s usually lack of common sense that leads to these stories . Just be a responsible human and don’t let sketchy people around your children!!!
Oh my goodness, this is so heartbreaking. How could someone do something so evil to that sweet girl. I can't imagine what her family and friends are going through. And you're absolutely correct, Andy is the ONLY person responsible. I pray that her family and friends can find some peace. I also wanted to say that you handle all of these cases with such kindness and compassion. And I hate that you have to continually tell people to be nice in the comments and tell people not to contact the family and be rude to them. I'll never understand why people do this. Harassing murder victims families is disgusting. Anyway, thanks for all of the great content and for spreading these victims stories. ❤️
I’m sorry but a mother has to have the sense and judgement not to bring a creep into her home if she has kids, especially a teenage girl. As a parent, that’s her responsibility, and if Riley was already fearful of him, then there were clear warning signs. It’s unfortunate, but her mother failed her.
@@lovejunkie6078 sure, but how about not inviting a meth head to live in the same home as your daughter? Unless that’s considered good parenting these days…
31:00 I'm SURE the drugs amplified his impulsivity, however they absolutely 100% did not cause this. Plenty of people in the world use drugs and don't commit violent sexual crimes like this. The disgusting sexual urges he had in him were already there and the drugs just intensified that-they didn't create it.
This is so very sad! My heart breaks for Riley, and her family and friends! Another life taken way too soon! I hope her mom can find some kind of peace and not blame herself she didn’t do it. This one has really got to me.
I live here in West Virginia and this was pretty close to where I actually live 20/30 minutes. I’m glad you have covered this case I’ve never heard it until now.
I hate that this happened. Such a heartbreaking story. I hope that her loved ones find comfort knowing that the case has been solved. I hope that the mom doesn’t beat herself up over this forever. I know she brought the man into her house, but you never truly know someone’s true intentions. I hope Hayden is doing okay. I remember me and my boyfriend being that age, and I couldn’t imagine my boyfriend going missing and dying like that. 💔
Her grandma works in the country court house , her step granddad is a ex con and did drugs with Andy, her mom is not that good too, there a lot more, stuff they have a Facebook page her her that goes indeal of the family 😣 it's sad life this little girl had, , prayers from wv
You left your 15 year old daughter alone with a known cocaine addict. You knew he has a tendency to become sexually aggressive when high. Yes, you should have some responsibility. No, I'm not going to reach out to the family and give them hate. That would be ridiculous.
I am so thankful for being slightly obsessed with true crime stories. If it wasn’t for stories like these I may not have the views I have. If I was to ever split from my children’s father, I would never let another man into my house because I’m just so aware of all the terrible things that could go on. I’m truly heartbroken for Riley’s family. They all got life sentences the day Riley was so cruelly taken. I really hope they don’t blame themselves, there is only one person at fault here and that the dirty one rotting in a cell.
Just watched this. This is a lesson to single mother's. Some of them even have the audacity to leave their kids with boyfriends to babysit! Others bring their boyfriends to live with them and expect life to be all rosy. Its better you date them outside the home and DO NOT bring them home please. Have heard, seen many stories like these! It never ends. Sad though.
Thank you for covering Riley's case. This is local to me, and the only videos I've found are from Gray Hughes. My husband works with one of her relatives as well. I remember seeing her missing poster, and that may be how I found out about her case. I'm so glad they gave Andy the maximum sentence, because he deserves no compassion. It breaks my heart to think of what that poor girl may have gone through. And how unfair, she was only 15, couldn't even drive yet. There is so much in life she didn't get the chance to experience. I pray for her soul and her family. As for the weather question, it would be warm but mild here in May, no extreme heat to cause a lot of decomposition. However, if he left her out in the open on the mountain, wildlife could definitely be a factor as well.
Hello Queen 👑 of true crime and fellow friends in the true crime community. Living for the new hair colors, glad your at a place that is letting you express yourself. I'm wishing everyone a good one and take care 🧡
This case truly broke my heart 💔 when I heard about it. Fly high sweet angel Riley. R.I.P. And you covered this case wonderfully btw and I loved all the kind words. 😘
You're hair looks soooo good!!! 😍😍 wow! Thanks for another great video... I've only just started it lol but you always come through with the good stuff! Love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Do people really contact victims' families to berate them?! Don't propagate the wickedness. Be a kind human. And live in defiance of assholes like Andy!
I’m sure her family has suffered enough without people harassing them online. However as a lawyer I see these “choices” all the time even if they don’t result in death. When you’re a parent that’s it. You’re personal happiness doesn’t count if it affects the kids. “If only you weren’t a junkie”. Really.
I would not attack the parents. The mom was irresponsible, period. She brought a drug addict into her home around her daughter. You don’t think the mom was using drugs as well.
You did an excellent job on this case . You did it with compassion, . Being a mother of a daughter, I can’t imagine how this family feels . How this mother and father feel . Rest In Peace Riley ❤️
If the mom knew of his drug use or not, whatever. It’s fucking stupid to bring a man into the home when you have a teenage daughter. Doesn’t matter how good a man he may have seemed. Wait until your young daughter is out of the house. I don’t feel bad for the mom.
I doubt you’ll see this comment because it’s such an old video but I’ve been binging your channel. I’m a huge true crime buff and it’s hard to find UA-cam videos that I haven’t heard the case already, like I alwayssss have heard them before, but I got hooked on your channel because it’s a lotttt of cases I haven’t heard of! Love the videos, and love you giving a voice to the victims ❤
Very sad what happen and I'm still trying to.figure thus out. How and why this happened. I'm so heart broken for this innocent child and her family. I can't wrap my head around all this. I just pray everyday
I think the reason Riley was scared of her mom's boyfriend is because he has done something to her or said some provocative statements directed to her prior to the night of her death. It's so so sad Riley's mother didn't see the signs sooner. She admitted that the boyfriend had strong sexual arrousals while on drugs. So why would a mother allow that man alone with her daughter??? If only Riley would have started screaming the second mom's boyfriend walked into bedroom. Maybe mom would have heard the screams and went running into Riley's room.
Been looking for new crime videos so I've made up a playlist am about to go watch keep up the good work. diggin they hair colour you have chose to looks smart
This is why as a single mother you NEVER EVER EVER put your children in a situation where they would be left alone with a male acquaintance, friend, co-worker, boyfriend, etc. NEVER!!!!!!! Not even for ONE single minute!!
Commenting before I watch video. Your hair looks amazing and love your videos. You are very well spoken and very informative. Thanks for sharing your content with all of us 😊
Very kindly done. This is such a hard -sad story of a beautiful short life for you to cover. I feel you have done it amazing. I'm a grandma, have lived long enough to have seen unfortunately a few sides of this. And yes the only person to be mad at is the disgusting life called, Andy McCauley. Till one is place in the life to live no judgement should be made. Thank you Rachel for covering a beautiful young lady story. Peace to all
Loving your channel! Also I greatly appreciate that you don’t have an annoying voice lol. I love these kinds of channels but I find that some peoples voices can really get on my nerves. Keep up the good work!
I knew Andy, him, his cousins and I played together as kids. To be completely honest I had the biggest crush on him when I was 11. I’m still friends on Facebook with his family. I would have never believed he could be capable of this-then all that evidence came pouring in. Drugs do crazy things to people but this is definitely not an excuse for the horrible things that happened to her. This beautiful young girl didn’t deserve any of this. RIP Riley! ❤
A drug addict does not always equal rapist/murderer! There is no way her family could have known this would happen! It’s so sad that people say mean things and blame them! 💔
Ladies, if your boyfriend is a junkie, maybe don't move them into your home with your children. I'm so tired of these women putting men above their kids.

Thank you for saying this. I know you'll cop it but you're right.

And Zahra Baker she faced canser with golden heart but couldnt fight the humans worst than canser

As you said protect your kids first and foremost
So many cases where this happens, and coddling the mothers/fathers and pretending they had no idea something like this could happen will only lead to more. We need to educate parents and hold them accountable for putting their children at risk.
Letting a drug addict who YOU KNEW was sexually aggressive live in your house with your 15 years old kid IS putting your children at risk.
I’ve been saying this for a while and the response is always “the moms a victim too” … so it’s okay for her to keep her kids in that environment? I’m confused. These women still hold A TON of responsibility.
Exactly I’m done with the nonsense

This story reminds me
of that story from
for inside your head
from my little ship
between the mirror and the window
the sun aims a ray my way
illuminating my creation, god
my god, before the Sun
the sun, behind my god
sailing into light
beyond the sight
of my little ship
inside your head
I’m sorry you had to grow up feeling that way... so cliche, but I truly try to take the things from my past and use it towards positives and make myself stronger. Which you obviously have done for yourself as well. I wish Riley had gotten to the chance.
I'm sorry you went through that ❤
I used to lock my door. My SF told my mother (no locked doors allowed for safety reasons) so she confiscated the key. I barricaded my door every night with my dressing table.
Omg same. I was actually Raped by him. He was awful, without much care and a conscious.. it truly sucks smh
@@samorachannel2093 ❤
I think it’s time for society to start holding women/mothers accountable when they allow men who show reckless, drug/sexually aggressive behaviors around their children. It almost always comes out after the deaths of their children, that they were well aware of such behavior happening. And it’s typically a non-biological boyfriend/partner. They are complicit.
A lot of these women are victims themselves.
@@alexandradorman3034 Victims or not, it is their responsibility to keep their kids out of harms way. Also, many women know exactly who they’re getting in a relationship with before it even gets to this point, but they chose a man’s “love” over their children.
I won’t speak for any other victims since all of our situations are different but in my situation I absolutely agree with what you said. I was groomed at 17 by a 27 year old who ended up abusing me for 5 years. As sad as it is I definitely would have let him kill me if it wasn’t for my children. The last day we were together was the only time in 5 years that I stood up to him. And the only reason I did was due to the realization that he was trying to start emotionally abusing my oldest son (who was three at the time) in order to hurt me. He had really destroyed my self esteem so I would always justify his abuse towards myself, but my kids…my kids is where I draw the line. That was the first and the last day he ever attempted to hurt them. I was able to get my kids to safety by sacrificing myself, and by the end of the fight he thought he had killed me and dragged my body into the woods behind our house. He even admitted to the judge he was going to “wait till dark” to bury me. Thankfully I was only knocked out and was able to get up, walk a mile to my closest neighbor’s house and call the police. My kids and I have been free ever since.
The point of that novel was to point out that my children were the ONLY reason I fought back. I didn’t care about the punching, kicking, the choking, or anything else he was doing to me. I figured I was going to die and I was at peace with it because I knew in that moment my children were safe.
Just the thought of them being abused or hurt was enough for me to get them out of the situation. I know every situation is different and not everyone is as lucky as I was, I just genuinely cannot imagine knowing my child is being abused and is scared to be at home but I just stand by and do nothing. I would rather die protecting them than to live knowing I did nothing.
I’m only speaking for my situation though. There are hundreds of mothers who are desperately trying to get themselves and their children to safety but aren’t able to. What we need is better resources available to all victims of domestic abuse. A major reason why DV victims don’t automatically leave is due to lack of funds and isolation. If victims knew they would have shelter, transportation, and trauma support we would see a significant decrease in these stories. Victims feel like they have no way out and we need to show them they do 💙
@@meganperry2962 but this isn’t always the case and you can’t hold all women accountable because that wouldn’t give actual women a voice it would make them part of the problem when it’s not always the case that they knew.
@@tiffanysbeautyhouse755 my comment didn’t apply to those know didn’t know. It was towards women who are very aware and still allow those men around their children… and it’s A LOT of women. The mother in this case was aware, she holds some responsibility.
My deepest condolences to her dad, grandmother, boyfriend, and extended family. May she RIP
This is why you don’t let drug addicts live in a home with your children and she said herself that he became sexually aggressive when using. That’s the person you leave alone with your children? No thanks. The lack of personal accountability is insane.
i agree. i normally would never “blame” the family of a victim but i don’t know how a mother could let a man like that be around her teenage girl. she knew. but she put her relationship over her daughter’s wellbeing. unfortunately, riley’s mother isn’t completely innocent in all this. maybe she never expected murder but still, she knew he was dangerous, and riley would still be here if she chose her boyfriends more carefully.
THIS.
The mother was a huge known druggie too. Shes not innocent.
@@griffenerica I think there’s a big diff Btwn victim blaming and being well aware that some murders can be prevented by the persons choice. It’s not like someone who went to the bank & got murdered or kidnapped during a run or even knowing a person who never showed a violent tendency. When I hear it was a drug addict, sex worker, or a parent who didn’t protect their children- it’s not a shocking thing. My biggest pet peeve are women who bring men around their kids just bc they can’t be alone. If my kid told me she didn’t like my partner- that’s it. However, my hubs didn’t meet my kid until we dated for 3 years and she was almost out the door to college.
I totally agree
Heartbreaking! That last text to her boyfriend telling him she was scared of her moms boyfriend is just horrible, he is a monster who knows how long he was planning n waiting. This poor girl I can't even imagine what she went through. So young n full of life, taken way too soon. R.I.P Riley
It is so horrible, and so sad, it's unimaginable. That monster needs to,(at the very least) be locked up for the rest of his pathetic, loser, life. He took her life, and ruined her mom's life too. Her mother will never get over something like that, and she will most likely blame herself forever.
My daughter after my divorce had only met one other man besides her dad. I dated him for 6 months before I let him met my 4yr old. And we dated for 2yrs before we moved in together. He loved her & treated her like she was his own. That was her JonJon. There's nothing he wouldn't have done to protect her & me. We recently lost him to a hit & run. My daughter & I are absolutely devastated & heartbroken. Cases like this would make him so angry & physically sick. He was such a proud loving stepdad for the 15yrs we had him. A couple months before he was killed he said his happiest moments were making my daughter micky mouse pancakes & watching SpongeBob. He was a big lovable kid himself. My heart just breaks for Riley. RIP baby girl. My heart breaks for her mom & her family. As I write this I can hardly see through the tears. I don't understand people who can hurt a child. Why is it that good men like my husband looses their lives & pos like him are out & about committing these sickening crimes. And they still don't know who hit my husband & it's been 4 months & I don't think they ever will. I hope & pray that Riley & her family get the justice they deserve. And I hope he rots.
I'm so sorry for your great loss...JonJon sounded like an amazing man❤.
@@AVSgirl1985 Thank you. He was he really really was. This will be my first Thanksgiving without him & tbh I wish I could just curl up into a ball & shut the world out. But thanks again I hope if you celebrate Thanksgiving that you have a very Happy one❤✌Hope you have a awesome day too
Omg I’m so sorry💔💔💔 sending you and your daughter loving healing energy 💜💜💜 RiP JonJon
Wow this comment hit me hard. RIP JonJon 🙏. Hope you and your daughter are well!
I'm so sorry for your Loss!💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏 You were Blessed. He's still with you, and your Daughter. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for Justice for him!
How horrific! That poor kid. He needs to rot in jail for the rest of his life.
Agreed
This is heartbreaking and so senseless! I hope he rots in prison and his crimes are known to other inmates bc they don’t tolerate his kind! May she Rest In Peace
I'm a mother of a son and daughter and besides their father there is no man that can come into our home and live. I pray this family can move forward and remember they will always have an Angel by their side
My mother married my stepfather when I was 6 and I thank God every day for him. He is not my stepdad, he is my dad. Yes, this is horrible but not all stepdads are awful. Check your statistics; the person most likely to kill a child is their biological father. I'm all for putting your children first but this martyr attitude gets old. No one criticises single fathers for falling in love.
I’m with you sis. My daughter is 16 and her father and I split when she was 12. He is the only man in her life, and her grandfathers. I am super paranoid, and I think I will just stay single until she is an adult. It’s no issue, because I have no desire to date anyway.
You do know that it can also happen with bio parents…. Right?
@@M1985- did you see anywhere in my post that I said it couldn't?
@@michelleprieur1 lol did I touch a nerve? You feel how you feel and I feel how I feel and that's that.
How many explanations was this mom going to think of before she thought it was weird her daughter was missing and not answering texts? I'm sorry, we always say not to blame parents in those scenarios but that is ridiculous in this case. if your child is normally super dependable and keeps in contact with you, then suddenly disappeared and stopped, HOW can you say, "Oh maybe it's just her being rebellious?" come on.
also...keeping a drug user around your kid is absolutely inexcusable. let's stop making excuses for the mom.
I really hate to agree with you but I 110% do. I just feel bad blaming the parents because I just can't imagine what they're going through but in this case it's like come on! This man was clearly sketchy, a drug user, a liar, didn't have a driver's license and most importantly according to her "can be sexually violent while on drugs." WHAT?! Why was this man anywhere near her daughter? It makes no sense.
I've been closer to the drug scene than I care to explain so when I heard the mother "sick, sleeping on the couch, too busy..." I call BS!! Those were the same symptoms her bf! Sadly, IMO, Riley was the parent. I hate this!! 🤬
We are still culpable for our actions, with or without drugs. Responsibility is something we must choose to accept. This mom didn’t. That’s the truth. I am a recovered addict and I MADE THOSE CHOICES. Once I accepted responsibility I made a new choice.
I think she was too focused on what the police could find that didn’t have to do with Riley to care about her daughter. “Oh, I’ll wait and see if she comes because I know I could go to jail for x, y, z.”
lmao y'all love to blame women
I know firsthand the pain of allowing a male into my life who then destroyed my sons. It's very difficult to forgive oneself.
Loving your screen name omg
This case makes me so glad I made the decision after my divorce, not to have a relationship until my teenage children had graduated. It was so important to me not to further stress them , being a teenager and watching your parent's divorce is hard enough. RIP Riley. it shouldn't be this way in this life but heaven will be better.
Good mom ❤️
Great 👌 mom
This is just terrible. Having two beautiful teenage daughters myself this just breaks my heart. Thoughts and prayers to the family
Thanks for doing this case, My eldest Daughter is 15 in 2 weeks, it's an extra reminder to keep checking in with her, and to make sure we have all Our safety checks and communication happening.
I know what is like to be a hard working single mother. I pray for her mom especially, the grandmother, family members, boyfriend and friends.
I feel for for the family. Riley was taken away in a horrible tragic way 😢 I also feel terrible for Hayden I truly hope he finds comfort in the fact that justice has been served. No one is responsible for what happened accept for the monster that took her life so cruelly. R.I.P Riley 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is local to me. Thank you SO MUCH for covering her case!!! She didn’t get the attention she deserved.
I agree. She definitely didn’t.
@@RachelShannon also, idk if anyone clarified, but she was so badly decomposed because he had poured lime all over her. It was all over the bed of his truck too.
@@CaseyMenefee my daughter (she’s 12 lol) is listening to this case with me and we looked up the weather in the area trying to find a reason for the extensive decomp and it didn’t really add up and my daughter literally said ‘I wonder if someone poured something on her?’
I said maybe they used Lyme or something…
Crazy!!!
Local for me as well, I live accross the street from where her home used to be.. the whole thing was crazy.. it was really disturbing when the police and such searched her home :( I’m glad they were able to get all this evidence asap!
And why was the mother keeping a sexually aggressive drug abuser in her house, near her daughter?? It was not like she didn't know what he was. She said she did!
Sorry, but adults should stop dragging dangerous people in to their childrens life. The children should be the nro 1 priority for their parents.
Poor kid had to be afraid in her own home because of the man her mother dragged in to her life. Riley didn't have a choice, but her mother did. It really angers me.
I'm sorry but we can't shut our eyes and mouths about this issue. It's literally killing children.
Cant agree more
Don’t select staying with an abusive partner above your child’s safety!
Her mother ABSOLUTELY shares blame from bringing a junkie into her house. Why are you defending her?
Always take time for self care! You can’t pour from an empty cup!
Very good quote! Definitely something I need to get better at
I like this. Ima use that.
This guy is a monster. It's heart breaking. A tragic end to a young life.
I live only 30 minutes away from this area and I followed this case. The weather in this area changes so drastically. At that time, it was warm and wet at that time. Not good weather for preserving anything.
I'm not an expert but watching true crime for years, the environment and temperature has a big impact on the body. If its humid and damp enough, decomposition can be speeded up greatly. Poor angel, didn't deserve this, she had her whole life ahead of her. RIP Riley.
Yes this is terrible.. I lived and still live across the street from her home.. they did a demolition on the house and now it’s a parking lot :( Ive been so glad to see her case has been brought to justice!! Prosecuting attorney did a wonderful job for the parents!
I agree with you on all counts Rachel. The only person responsible is the one who harmed Riley. Such a heartbreaking case. I am glad that they were able to give him the maximum sentence. Good job Rachel.
But didn't her momma know he was a sexually aggressive drug user
That's apart of a mother's responsibility 🤔😔. If a 15 year old is scared with his vibes momma had to feel or see something
The mom said she searched her room for a note.. I don’t believe that she could have searched and not noticed the blood, in fact I don’t believe that she searched because she already knew what happened
I am loving your new hair colors! And I’m glad to hear you talk about taking time for yourself… I am a nurse also and we are natural caretakers of others, but don’t always remember to take the time for ourselves:)
I also appreciate you covering less known cases, and the unsolved. I know that people don’t tend to like unsolved cases because it’s so frustrating not to know the outcome… However I can’t even imagine how heart wrenching must be for the families. Hopefully the coverage will help bring a new lead or best scenario a resolution for these some of these cases.
This is absolutely heartbreaking🥺💔 I have a daughter that is about a month older then Riley.... we just celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday. I can't imagine how her parents are feeling as Riley's 18th approaches. On another note your videos are absolutely amazing and you are one of my favorites🤗
This case hits so close to home. We all were so worried when she went missing. I kept up with this case religiously. May she rest in peace
Why would you allow a man into your home who partakes in drugs. RIP Riley 🙏🏽
Because you enjoy drugs also.
I truly am so sorry for Riley's family having to go through this. It's no one's fault but the perpetrator's. Hope he gets life
These scenarios are more common than you’d like to think possible. Women chose their own personal wants and needs over prioritizing the security and safety of their children. Hence look at our foster system.
Idk why tiktok keeps saying women watch true crime for survival tips. No, it’s usually lack of common sense that leads to these stories . Just be a responsible human and don’t let sketchy people around your children!!!
Oh my goodness, this is so heartbreaking. How could someone do something so evil to that sweet girl. I can't imagine what her family and friends are going through. And you're absolutely correct, Andy is the ONLY person responsible. I pray that her family and friends can find some peace. I also wanted to say that you handle all of these cases with such kindness and compassion. And I hate that you have to continually tell people to be nice in the comments and tell people not to contact the family and be rude to them. I'll never understand why people do this. Harassing murder victims families is disgusting. Anyway, thanks for all of the great content and for spreading these victims stories. ❤️
I’m sorry but a mother has to have the sense and judgement not to bring a creep into her home if she has kids, especially a teenage girl. As a parent, that’s her responsibility, and if Riley was already fearful of him, then there were clear warning signs. It’s unfortunate, but her mother failed her.
Or maybe Andy shouldn’t have been a POS rapist murderer🙄
@@lovejunkie6078 sure, but how about not inviting a meth head to live in the same home as your daughter? Unless that’s considered good parenting these days…
I was about to say the same thing. STOP BRINGING JUST ANYONE AROUND YOUR KIDS!!
Have some Sympathy for the family before posting‼️
Thank you so much for covering this story Riley was such a beautiful young lady the whole world needs to know her story
31:00 I'm SURE the drugs amplified his impulsivity, however they absolutely 100% did not cause this. Plenty of people in the world use drugs and don't commit violent sexual crimes like this. The disgusting sexual urges he had in him were already there and the drugs just intensified that-they didn't create it.
This is so very sad! My heart breaks for Riley, and her family and friends! Another life taken way too soon! I hope her mom can find some kind of peace and not blame herself she didn’t do it. This one has really got to me.
WOW this is close to home. I’m SO GLAD you are covering this 😭❤️
I'm so glad you are taking care of your mental health too...wow and I'm so proud you are going to school and getting your PhD...
I live here in West Virginia and this was pretty close to where I actually live 20/30 minutes. I’m glad you have covered this case I’ve never heard it until now.
I hate that this happened. Such a heartbreaking story. I hope that her loved ones find comfort knowing that the case has been solved. I hope that the mom doesn’t beat herself up over this forever. I know she brought the man into her house, but you never truly know someone’s true intentions. I hope Hayden is doing okay. I remember me and my boyfriend being that age, and I couldn’t imagine my boyfriend going missing and dying like that. 💔
Andy was handed 2 life sentences because they couldn't give him 3. That monster won't be getting out.
thank you so much rachel for taking the time to tell these victims stories and always being so respectful. i love your hair btw!! so cute 🥰
Her grandma works in the country court house , her step granddad is a ex con and did drugs with Andy, her mom is not that good too, there a lot more, stuff they have a Facebook page her her that goes indeal of the family 😣 it's sad life this little girl had, , prayers from wv
Riley was my cousins bsf they danced together had sleepovers together she was the nicest girl i have ever met #Forever15 may she rest in paradise💙💜🕊
You left your 15 year old daughter alone with a known cocaine addict. You knew he has a tendency to become sexually aggressive when high. Yes, you should have some responsibility. No, I'm not going to reach out to the family and give them hate. That would be ridiculous.
Keep them coming. Very enthralling storytelling
I am so thankful for being slightly obsessed with true crime stories. If it wasn’t for stories like these I may not have the views I have. If I was to ever split from my children’s father, I would never let another man into my house because I’m just so aware of all the terrible things that could go on. I’m truly heartbroken for Riley’s family. They all got life sentences the day Riley was so cruelly taken. I really hope they don’t blame themselves, there is only one person at fault here and that the dirty one rotting in a cell.
Just about to rest my tired migrained Irish head down for I hope some sleep before the school run so thank you for a good sleepy time listen ❤️❤️🇮🇪
Just watched this. This is a lesson to single mother's. Some of them even have the audacity to leave their kids with boyfriends to babysit! Others bring their boyfriends to live with them and expect life to be all rosy. Its better you date them outside the home and DO NOT bring them home please. Have heard, seen many stories like these! It never ends. Sad though.
R.I.P. Riley. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for the family and friends. Rachel, thank you for your channel and all the hard work you do and being so caring.
Thank you for covering Riley's case. This is local to me, and the only videos I've found are from Gray Hughes. My husband works with one of her relatives as well. I remember seeing her missing poster, and that may be how I found out about her case.
I'm so glad they gave Andy the maximum sentence, because he deserves no compassion. It breaks my heart to think of what that poor girl may have gone through. And how unfair, she was only 15, couldn't even drive yet. There is so much in life she didn't get the chance to experience. I pray for her soul and her family.
As for the weather question, it would be warm but mild here in May, no extreme heat to cause a lot of decomposition. However, if he left her out in the open on the mountain, wildlife could definitely be a factor as well.
Hello Queen 👑 of true crime and fellow friends in the true crime community. Living for the new hair colors, glad your at a place that is letting you express yourself. I'm wishing everyone a good one and take care 🧡
this is so sweet💗
This case truly broke my heart 💔 when I heard about it. Fly high sweet angel Riley. R.I.P.
And you covered this case wonderfully btw and I loved all the kind words. 😘
I’m never this early but I am working night shift so I woke up to get ready at the perfect time.
Thanks again for another video girl❤️ much love from Philly !!
As someone who has awful incidents from a step-dad, this case really hurts.
As someone who has a wonderful stepfather, comments like yours are aggravating.
You're hair looks soooo good!!! 😍😍 wow! Thanks for another great video... I've only just started it lol but you always come through with the good stuff! Love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
Why would you have a man on drugs around your children & living with you? Smfh. TRUST NOONE WITH YOUR KIDS!
Do people really contact victims' families to berate them?!
Don't propagate the wickedness.
Be a kind human.
And live in defiance of assholes like Andy!
Thoughts and prayers to the family❤
I’m sure her family has suffered enough without people harassing them online. However as a lawyer I see these “choices” all the time even if they don’t result in death. When you’re a parent that’s it. You’re personal happiness doesn’t count if it affects the kids. “If only you weren’t a junkie”. Really.
I would not attack the parents. The mom was irresponsible, period. She brought a drug addict into her home around her daughter. You don’t think the mom was using drugs as well.
I always watch the full ads because you will be one of the great doctors of our future! Well deserved!
I love watching ALL your videos you are a great story teller!
You did an excellent job on this case . You did it with compassion, . Being a mother of a daughter, I can’t imagine how this family feels . How this mother and father feel . Rest In Peace Riley ❤️
If the mom knew of his drug use or not, whatever. It’s fucking stupid to bring a man into the home when you have a teenage daughter. Doesn’t matter how good a man he may have seemed. Wait until your young daughter is out of the house. I don’t feel bad for the mom.
I doubt you’ll see this comment because it’s such an old video but I’ve been binging your channel. I’m a huge true crime buff and it’s hard to find UA-cam videos that I haven’t heard the case already, like I alwayssss have heard them before, but I got hooked on your channel because it’s a lotttt of cases I haven’t heard of! Love the videos, and love you giving a voice to the victims ❤
Just found your chanel recently and I love your videos! Love how you talk respectfully and your voice too.
Hope you´re well!
I actually really like your videos. I wasn’t sure about you at first but you do a great job researching the cases!
Hello, Rachel! Thank you for the video. 💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏 My Deepest Sympathy to Riley's Family. Rest In Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
her and i were really close. i liked her and had a crush on her for awhie. she was so sweet and down to earth.
You did a great job reporting this case.
Very sad what happen and I'm still trying to.figure thus out. How and why this happened. I'm so heart broken for this innocent child and her family. I can't wrap my head around all this. I just pray everyday
I think the reason Riley was scared of her mom's boyfriend is because he has done something to her or said some provocative statements directed to her prior to the night of her death. It's so so sad Riley's mother didn't see the signs sooner. She admitted that the boyfriend had strong sexual arrousals while on drugs. So why would a mother allow that man alone with her daughter??? If only Riley would have started screaming the second mom's boyfriend walked into bedroom. Maybe mom would have heard the screams and went running into Riley's room.
Brought me to tears.... fly through the universes princess Riley
👏 Amazing!
Thank God we have those texts that she sent her bf… but this is so sad and heartbreaking
May 7, 2019 would have been my daughter Marilyns 42nd birthday. She died January 30, 2019 after a long battle with cancer.
RIP Riley ❤️ RIP Marilyn ❤️
Been looking for new crime videos so I've made up a playlist am about to go watch keep up the good work.
diggin they hair colour you have chose to looks smart
Rachel! Please continue to practice self care❤️You deserve all the best
This is why as a single mother you NEVER EVER EVER put your children in a situation where they would be left alone with a male acquaintance, friend, co-worker, boyfriend, etc.
NEVER!!!!!!!
Not even for ONE single minute!!
Commenting before I watch video. Your hair looks amazing and love your videos. You are very well spoken and very informative. Thanks for sharing your content with all of us 😊
Totally preventable tragic murder.
Very kindly done. This is such a hard -sad story of a beautiful short life for you to cover. I feel you have done it amazing. I'm a grandma, have lived long enough to have seen unfortunately a few sides of this. And yes the only person to be mad at is the disgusting life called, Andy McCauley. Till one is place in the life to live no judgement should be made. Thank you Rachel for covering a beautiful young lady story. Peace to all
I live in this area and remember when this happened. Their was signs EVERYWHERE when she was still considered missing. Was a sad ending
Thanks for covering she was so loved and impacted our community deeply even though I didn’t know her I knew ppl who knew her
RIP Riley. So sorry for the family. Such a lovely innocent young girl.
Loving your channel! Also I greatly appreciate that you don’t have an annoying voice lol. I love these kinds of channels but I find that some peoples voices can really get on my nerves. Keep up the good work!
I knew Andy, him, his cousins and I played together as kids. To be completely honest I had the biggest crush on him when I was 11. I’m still friends on Facebook with his family. I would have never believed he could be capable of this-then all that evidence came pouring in. Drugs do crazy things to people but this is definitely not an excuse for the horrible things that happened to her. This beautiful young girl didn’t deserve any of this. RIP Riley! ❤
Your hair looks AMAZING!! 💖
I've binged so much of this stuff. I remember you from a previous video about something or the other and whatnot. I'll subscribe.
You're hair looks absolutely gorgeous Rachel!!! It looks super dope on you. 🤩 Love it!!
A drug addict does not always equal rapist/murderer! There is no way her family could have known this would happen! It’s so sad that people say mean things and blame them! 💔
So happy that she is getting justice and her family im so sorry for your family's lose she was a beautiful lady im happy he is in there for life
Prayers ♥️🕊️🙏🏻 my heart goes to her family!! ♥️
