When my daughter, now 34., was in 7th grade, a schoolmate of hers disappeared from a store half a block from her home. No trace was ever found. Seeing these cold cases getting solved gives me a tiny hope that maybe someday, we will know what happened to Laura Ayala on March 10, 2002 in Houston,TX. Thank you to all the investigators who work so diligently on a seemingly endless task in order to bring closure to the bereaved.
My uncle was murdered as he was selling ice cream from his ice cream truck about 10 yrs ago and no one has been arrested. The sad part is he didn’t have to work, he did it more or less as a hobby after retiring. A lot of times he would give the kids with no money a small cup of free ice cream or take less than the original price. He was gunned down during a hood up while selling ice cream to kids…. These give me hope his killer will one day face justice.
I never quite understand why law enforcement would say “it’s too early to file a missing person report”. If someone goes missing, the sooner you can start looking for them with a lot of people, the better.
So many people that could have been found alive because of these laws. You have to fight hard and give evidence that they're actually missing and in danger from a lot of these cases I've seen. Unless they're children not old enough to "run away".
Statistically, in the '70s and '80s 75-80% of missing persons were actually runaways who returned home within 3 days, especially 15-18 year-olds. It was sad for the 20% who were in jeopardy or already dead, but money for the police has never been an infinite amount.
If I remember correctly, that law has been changed to where you can now report someone missing immediately after you notice their absence. There’s no longer a 24-48 hour waiting period because the victim could be dead in that time frame of it was a kidnapping situation. The change to this law went into effect on Jan 1, 1986. I’m not sure what case made it change, but from what I looked up, it was the case of Cara Evelyn Knott.
It confuses me. They were talking about him being tried as an adult? But it happened ages ago so.... Idk I've listened twice. My ADHD must be bothering me
It never ceases to blow my mind that multiple people will literally witness something as heinous as someone being dragged into the woods and they’re just like “nope. Not today”
@@samanthab1923 agreed. I just can’t imagine watching someone be dragged in the woods and not helping or calling 911, or both. Hearing something and watching something are so different. You have the chance to LITERALLY save a life
I believe the reason why it took so long is because the sister never mentioned it. Nowhere does it said she told the police only that her sister told her
Clearly you have no idea how long rivers go on for. "Like OMG why didn't they search an ENTIRE RIVER based off of something she's said many months before she dissappeared." GTFOH
7:34 Angie had a few “close friends” yet none of them reported her missing for 2 years?? Then it took her mother 2 YEARS to report her daughter missing?? So was her mother not informed that her grandson Mickey was reported missing?? The police didn’t question Angies mother when Mickey was reported missing?? Then the wrong picture was submitted? No wonder the case took so long to solve!! It’s a freakin mess.... Idk who dropped the ball?? But why was she not reported as missing when her son was?? Even if they just filed a wanted case for her... Like wanted for questioning? Wanted for information on Mickey?? Anything?. Crazy... Didn’t expect the ending, Like yeah it’s “Solved” but there’s so many questions... And WHOS covering it up and WHY?? Because there’s definitely a cover up happening 4 some reason?? .... And IF they wanted to “adopt” Lil Mickey why did they turn around & murder him also?? NOTHING makes sense here.... RIP ANGIE AND BABY MICKEY!!! 🙏🏽👼🏽👩👦👑💐🌹⭐️🌈☁️🎭💒🧸❤️💛💔
I wondered the same thing about the couple wanting to adopt Mickey and then killing him. Made no sense to me. Unless they were adopting him for sex trafficking. So sad for him.
Many people, mostly women adopt children to receive money from the government. I watched a video where a woman was a temporary care giver was arrested this week. The house was absolutely filthy. The 1 and 2 year old babies hadn’t had their diaper changed or fed in days. I think it was Chicago or Milwaukee. Very sad.
Barbara Krusen told police that Angela, who wanted to move to California, agreed to let the Krusens adopt her son, even signing papers that would enable them to do so. Then she told investigators Angela later told Clarence Krusen she'd had a change of heart about giving up her son, and wanted to come back to get him, so they sent her money to buy a bus ticket so she could come and get the boy. FBI did a polygraph test on Barbara and she failed....And she isn't being charged with anything :O Makes your blood boil :(
It was probably a need to happen situation... like maybe he saw them kill his mom so out of fear they killed him so he wouldn't talk. Could've been one of those if I can't have you no one can bs situations or maybe it was an accident in the process of them killing the mom... so many possibilities! I just want to know was the lady who wanted to adopt the kid charged with murder?
Someone probably told the mother that her daughter died of a drug overdose, and because of her history, and her transient kind of lifestyle, although she had an address, and the men that she usually picked, her mom probably just believed it. And obviously she didn't care about her grandchildren! She never inquired about the younger one, which we still don't know what happened to the baby toddler that she had, and plus the older one, Mikey, that went with her that died! I guess she just didn't care: the grandmother, that is. Or, my sinister mind thinks that maybe the couple gave her a lot of money, and said that Angela fled,-- cuz she actually really did initially leave-- and DID leave her older son-- Oh, you know she left to go to so and so, came back and took Mikey with her ,and so we don't know what happened to her, & the mother just believed it.
These videos are so satisfying to see. It's tragic that all this happened, but I'm happy that we're able to solve all these cases and finally bring those answers to light.
The witness described as "maybe friends being playful with eachother" but what friend grabs someone in such v1olent way then proceeds to drag them away from the road?
I love it when a scientist and detective get together and work on the clues of a cold case to find out what happened and by who. It's like they give the victim a chance to fight back from the grave. Truly honorable.
My friend I'm sad to hear about your uncle. Know that those who may live this life getting away with their crimes but they will for sure in the next and stand before God then get casted in to the lake of fire....We are in Satan's Realm each has a choice to make..GOD/EVIL . HEAVEN/HELL..GO
Totally just bros, bro hug. Anyways can you imagine a Chimp on Dmt? Shit would rip your face off . Totally crazy. Rahh , jamie pull up that gorilla video , you know the one I’m talking about . Yeah check this thing out . Like holy shit that would fuck uou up dude . Wow . Look at those muscles. Imagine getting gorilla ducked by that chump bro. Want to try some sniffing salts ?
The fact that some cold cases aren't solved for decades because there is no budget to analyze the DNA and that private people take it on themselves to come up with money to use genetic genealogy to solve cases or give Jane and John Does their names back... I've seen tons of videos now with genetic genealogy beeing the key in solving crimes recently and I hope this will actually be used much more. Jails will be full with elderly murderers but justice needs to be served no matter what. Nothing more frustrating than finding out the killer lived a long and happy live til they died.
It's not that private people are using money to solve crimes. The general public using "23 and Me" and other family dna stuff that people do for fun (to see what our ancestry may be; ie. ethnicities, relatives, etc), and these places now have the DNA on file. Only recently have police been using DNA from cold cases and been able to compare them to these data bases, since they're a more recent thing.
We have several cold cases in my area and when discussed on Tv or newspaper, a reward fund is usually mentioned. I don't understand why the people involved don't use that money to have genetic genealogy research done? One case involves the ambush murder of a police officer. Perpetrators actually moved a tree trunk onto an off ramp, so whomever came along(most believe he was targeted)had to get out of their car to move it. He was then shot and killed. I heard rumors that human DNA other than Ofc Ellis was on the tree trunk. We also have the savage stabbing murders of a mother and her teen daughter. Surely to Gawd there's foreign DNA at that crime scene!
I've always said, perfect murders happen all the time. You can't commit a perfect one for sure, on purpose, but you can end up committing one if you're lucky. That happens all too often.
I find the police department extremely incompetent in the "Vaughn" case. They already knew that the victim threatened to dive into the river. They should've done a better job in finding her not wait for a fishing boat to stumble on her 28 years later. Such a shame
It’s a huge job needing sonar to find a car that has gone in the water mainly because of the very large search area. They are not easy to spot because of murky water. Think you could have done better then grab your swimsuit and have a go at other missing cars and people.
@@Turnbull50 while what you say is likely true, they could've dragged a section of the river. But mostly, Louisiana is a lazy ass state, not real willing to put themselves out for some ol black girl w no old money or political power. I lived there a long time.
I grew up in Great Falls, Mt. My mother dated Patricia Kalitzke's brother and always terrified me with this story. Definitely had an impact on my dating life. Even though it had happened decades before, I was terrified to go to lonely parking areas with guys.
How awful and sad. Must have taken a strain on the whole community. Murders are so hard to dela with, and I can´t imagine how unsolved murders must feel for the family and everyone involved around the family. It´s just so sad all of it. Beautiful young people with their whole life in front of them.
So thankful for the advances in dna that we are getting all these killers who have gotten away with it for so long. I hope these people are constantly living in utter fear.
Right the more DNA advances including the familiar DNA database which can really find some people who otherwise wouldnt ever be found out about, the more these murderers should be panicking. Imagine some of them have married and had kids and there families would have no idea and thats horrifying for the family close to the killer imagine getting a knock at the door to find that out.
That would be unbelievably frustrating, when it's obvious who the killer is, but it still becomes a cold case. Glad the family and friends got some closure.
I feel like this decade will be the golden age of cold cases being solved, thanks to the use of genetic genealogy. Ever since 2020 it seems we've been getting answers left and right.
Rest in peace to all those lives that were taken in this list, and rest in assurance to all those lives that were taken and yet to be identified and listed. A new era of forensics will lay you at rest too,eventually.
@@abrahamwashington8579 I get them rats to clean, service, and light up my pipe. So far none of them hv disappointed me. Rats are pretty smart too, they can even find their way out of mazes
Did I miss something? Was it mentioned what became of Angie's other son? And the woman who wanted to adopt; easy for her to blame the entire murders on her dead hubby.😡
"why did the police not take the situation more seriously before the arrival of Sergeant Dale Weaver?" Sadly a lot of police stations don't take cases seriously. It was a stroke of luck that Dale Weaver came along and decided to actually give this case the proper investigation that it needed
On the first case, they should have called Adventures With Purpose. They do river sonar searches and have found over 16 people submerged in cars in different States. I’ve seen a few videos of their recoveries. Glad their families got the answers.
@@comradeeverclear4063 they solve 20 year 40 year 10 year old cases scainning rivers they knew she was gonna go in river or might have. He could search now n find her. If they hadenr
I've watched one of their videos and it was incredible to watch and amazing that the family finally got closure but it was so traumtic I couldn't watch any more because I know how they will all end.
How is there a rumor a child was murdered, and it not looked into. Like who would make that rumor with no evidence of it? That 2 second case was so shady it wasn’t even logical.
My husband grew up down in Alton the whole police department used to all be related and corrupt af the sheriff even got busted growing weed an played it like he didn't know what it was...
In 1990 my friends and I were in our early 20's, and we decided to go down to Wildwood in Nj...we all lived in Nj at that time. We visited a few nightclubs and closed the Stardust at 4:00am. When I got home, I turned on the news, and there was the Stardust....a girl about my age had been murdered and left next to a dumpster behind the club. Over the decades I thought about her quite often... wondering if anyone would ever be punished for it. 2022...they caught the prick. He was living 5 miles from me at the time. Her name was Susan Negersmith.
The fact that Patricia's sister had demensia by the time they solved the case, breaks my heart. She never got an answer or closure for her sisters death. I pray Patricia's soul is at peace.
Just a note to the creator... there's only one tiny mistake in your telling of the story. Salem is located in the Ozarks and in Fulton County but Angela Mack Cox was from Salem, Fulton county, AR (Arkansas) not AZ Arizona. The Ozarks are in Missouri and Arkansas. Love your mysteries, thanks!
What’s strange about this mistake it has been repeated in several different reports of this specific case. I live in Arizona and have heard of this case a few times, all referencing Arizona instead of Arkansas.
as someone who lives in missouri side ozarks this was so confusing for me too. At the beginning of the video he said Oregon, then he said ozarks, then he said Arkansas and at some point Arizona? As someone who lives at the bottom of Missouri this geography was confusing
That isn't a tiny mistake. that is a BIG mistake. Plus, if the creator of the video thinks the Ozarks run through Arizona then are really uneducated about geography
Thank God for the detectives who put their time into these cases. If not for them they would never be solved! This touches home for me as a close family member was murdered almost 30 years ago and it is still unsolved. 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I do know how you feel as my father was poisoned to death by his second wife. His death was unexpected so tests were run. By the time the results came back she had taken off after she found out she wasn't inheriting much and is still at large almost 11 years later. I will keep you in my prayers that the person will be caught.
I pray you get answers and the perpetrator(s) face justice. In the meantime I pray that you and your family are surrounded by peace, love and joy. May the answers you seek bring you the peace you deserve.
I feel so bad for the families when they can't give their loved ones a proper burial. Decades old cold cases make me so mad because the criminal gets to live his/her life while the families wonder what happened to their loved ones.
I appreciate your storytelling style. You don't just focus on, and expand, the gruesome details, but quickly tell the realities and move on. Then you succinctly tell the most interesting and pertinent facts about suspicions and how the mystery was finally solved. Well done!
WTF was a security outfit doing in 1988 - 1993 hiring criminals, especially violent and or those of theft for any kind of security issue, much less in charge of protecting young women from harm and parked vehicles from theft???? And why didn't the college also look into the backgrounds of those working on their campus, even IF they were already supposed to be vetted by the security company. That looks like a HUGE lawsuit right there!!!
@@veasey3997 ??? My comment is about security for a college not being vetted. What does before and after "caution Hot" stickers were added to coffee have to do with that??
Wtf. The dude wouldn't give Janet a ride home bc she was sick, but none of her friends inside the bar came out to check on her or help her get home. They just left their sick friend stuck outside the bar not caring who might take advantage of her? She wouldn't have been killed if even one of them came out for her. What a bunch of douches. People be careful who you go out with make sure they are at least the kind of people who wouldn't abandon you if you were made to leave the bar and too ill to figure out a way home.
How true. I always drove myself to my destination and back home. I never depended on anyone else. I never got so impaired that I couldn't drive. It always served me well. I know how people get when they're out partying. Someone doesn't want to leave, someone wants to leave with someone else, etc. Gotta take care of yourself.
In so thankful for DNA, matching, the time it takes to research, open cases, never close until found those who are guilty. If I'd had ANY emotional support to go into Forensics, I would have. Great job all in Forensics. You ROCK.
Doubt they care at all about the lack of there actions. Maybe one day they'll be put in a serious situation where no one helps them and they'll know how it feels.
In the Robert Durst murder, Detective Struck refused to investigate her disappearance saying "she's probably just shacked up with some other guy." Hard to believe he helped solve this.
@@samanthab1923 WTH… what’s rich people have to do with cops interacting with them? I’m no bootlicker and I’m very critical of the police, but it should not matter what your race, social status or religion is cops should treat each and every person as human but AWARENESS is the key thing they should have to treat people who are a threat differently. Cops need to always be alert and aware of the person they are dealing with, but emotions based on your bank account is BS.
@@survivallife7401 Woe, woe, woe! How things are & how things should be are two very different things. The Durst real estate empire is worth around $8.1 Billion. They know lots of people, the mayor, governor & can afford the best lawyers. So before you have a stroke, see it as how he got away with it for so long. 🙏🏻
I’ll bet when she went back to get her son, she found out they were abusing him. So they killed her and him. Something weird going on with her mom not saying anything for two years about her missing and never even mentioning that couples name and that she thought her grandson was with them. Thank god for that one cop who took it over and wouldn’t let it go.
So none of those witnesses in the Barbra Tucker case stopped to help her ??? WTF .. I hope they never forget her face .. If you see something like this you have to help , even if you are scared !!
1:12:54 hold on wait wait wait wait wait. You said Janet was not allowed into the bar because she was not of drinking age. Everyone else was let inside but her. Then you said the murder dude came back to retrieve her purse that she left inside at the bar. How did it get inside the bar if she was not allowed inside?
The location of where Angela Mack Cox moved to was not Fulton County, Salem Arizona. It was Fulton County, Salem, Arkansas. I live here and this case was absolutely huge.
@@kipram108 I also have to add that there is no actual physical evidence to prove whether she was actually killed by the couple from Alton or not. The whole farm place was gone by the time they got a confession from the wife. So while it’s “solved” it also isn’t.
In case #3, it's sad what society has come to. 😔 People can be murdered right in front of people and No One cares. Very, Very Sad! Shame on People! Shame on You!
I will never understand why people don’t help when they hear or see something. If it was me I would be ashamed to tell I had heard or saw something and did nothing.
Paints a huge red “kill me for snitching” target on your back if you tell on the wrong person. Hardly worth it especially if you aren’t involved in the first place.
Hi, just a tip. In the first case you spoke of a case in Louisiana. We don’t have counties here, we have parishes. I’m glad you covered this case. It was a very very bittersweet thing that happened here.
My parents live on the river in Natchitoches parish where the first story takes place. The river is about 4 to 9 feet deep. We were all shocked that the car wasn't found earlier, especially since about 10 years ago the river level was down to about 4 feet.
What colour was the car? If it was a darker colour it would probably blend in to the river bottom and water. I went back and listened again and it never mentioned the colour.
@@cw2497 and the fact that's a fact, makes me sad and sick. The bystander affect will NEVER make sense to me. I've been the victim of it myself at a young age (I was being beaten and screaming for help, as I laid there after, before I passed out, I saw someone was watching from almost every house. But no one helped, no one even called for help. They just stood there and watched an 8 year old have the shit be beat outta her)so maybe that's why I'd rather be safe and wrong than ignore something I shouldn't have..I just can't understand how on Earth people do that. Everyone makes a bad assumption that somebody else will call, so no one calls
The second case, about the woman named Angie and her one son being murdered by prospective adoptees.... What happened to her younger son? With his father in custody.....did he grow up in the fostercare system? Get adopted? There's no mention of him. I hope he's doing okay. He'd be in his 20s now.
What happened to the other son of Angela Cox? She had 2 children, so someone had to have been caring for him when she left to fetch her oldest son. Why is this never mentioned or questioned?
Lady said her husband killed em, he died so we won't know the details... lady just blamed him but I think she helped cuz u just can not know n not tell
As far as Edward's case goes...no money for trails and prosecution for the other killings, but they have money to keep him housed and fed for the rest of his life? I call bs.
Such a calm and peaceful voice. Perfect for narrations like this. I Love seeing solved cases, it gives me hope for those not yet solved! Seems like a great channel!
Wow, this video gave me chills! The production quality and attention to detail are absolutely phenomenal. You always manage to keep me hooked from start to finish.
When watching on the first case what was considered a small town with 840 people I remembered that in the town where my grandma was born right now there are less than 100 people who are actually living in a house in the town. Most people who used to live there are now deceased and their sons and daughters use the houses as summer houses (my family included). So small in fact is the town that they only have phone tower, and no Wifi. My grandmas family was the first one to officially own a phone in the town back in the 50s or 60s and you could pay outside their house to make a call. Currently there are no stores, except for a bakery, a church, and a place in which you can rent one of 3 pools to pass the time. There has never been a Seven-Eleven. I found out my great grandfather used to own back in the time the only store that could somehow resemble a 7-11, they sold tools, novelty jewelry, kitchen stuff, sewing equipment, clothes, candy (grandma told me they did, but any evidence that could be is obviously already spoiled) paint and brushes, and stuff like that. Is it even a town if less than 100 people actually reside in it…?
#15. Edward Surratt. He did two murders in Youngstown suburbs (North Lima, OH) and the one he will not confess to nor say where the body is. Not solved. It was Linda Hamilton. He never confessed where her body is, just that he had killed her, hence the reason he didn't get his request. I used to own the bar Hamilton worked at in prior years, and I live about 1/2 mile from where we think her body was. In a strip mine.
I seriously wasn’t expecting the story at 50:19 it’s not often people talk about cases from here in Great Falls and it was weird because I’ve never heard of this case either.
Have mercy, Angie really did know how to pick'em. One is a known method addict and another one is in and out of jail. This is why I always took time to myself after a breakup. Especially if the guy was horrible. I would take time out to reflect and see what I did wrong in choosing this guy? So that I don't repeat my mistake. If you keep picking loser after loser it might just be you.
Yeah that makes sense for people who have options and live in places where the majority of their community members are productive, contributing members of society. This may be a long response and i preemptively apologize for that but i feel its important to explain a little about why she may have been with guys like that. I live near where Angie lived in Arkansas and in the small, rural towns here almost every single person living in them have severe addictions to alcohol,meth, opioids, heroin or a combination of all 4. Those areas, sadly, are predominantly populated by people who fall far below the poverty level, are poorly educated and most don't even finish high school & most girls have at least one child, but most have 2 or 3, before they even turn 18 and even though the dads live in town, too, they typically fall into the dead beat dad category so their children are raised by single moms. You have to understand that in these rural areas there is literally nothing to do to keep children busy and out of trouble which affects not only them but adds stress and financial strain to their already strapped mothers who have to pay to replace broken or stolen property and even bail when the teens get caught stealing, smoking weed or driving under the influence. That's just how it is in areas where that cycle has been repeating itself for generations and will likely continue for many more. In these towns, these young women have dreams of finding a man who look loves them and will give them a better life, they see all that on tv and online so they know better a life exists, they've just never seen what it takes to have that, they don't see sober men who don't abuse their wives and get drunk or get high every night. It's all they know. In a town with a population of 700 or 800 people, there are only so many single guys. Out of those, even less are in the age range desirable to a young woman in her early 20s. This is why we hear of so many women from these small towns hitch their wagons to loser after loser and wind up in horrific situations. Sorry to leave such a long response but i felt it necessary to give a small peek into why/how women like Angie make some of the choices they do.
Don't be a dick and blame the victim, you don't know that persons life or how they got to where they are. You took time for you cause you valued you n someone taught you to or showed you how. Not everyone is blessed with anyone good growing up to show them true love so they grow up feeling devalued and still smiling. Show a heart before you comment.
@@sunnidavis195 I agree. I live in the south. I was shocked to see so much poverty when we went to Arkansas. Birth control should definitely be free. If government officials would do the math, it would save a lot of money and tragedies. 😢
True. Using discretion can save your life. Otherwise, they’d be crying about their freedom to date the bad boy. Many crimes have happened amongst the wealthy. Especially to collect insurance on the other person, so it’s not all about poverty. At some point, a person needs to be responsible for themselves. Life choices hold consequences.
@@arielsea9087 Tbh the environment of Arkansas can create a society of dead beats... look at different states with better education and infrastructure. With better opportunities. Hell I can bet Cali alone has produced more money then all of the southern states combined. With a lot of social programs and taxes the standard of living is higher. If I remember correctly Kentucky is actually a net loss to taxpayers money. Instead of uplifting we just leave them to die. In the end You just got to get lucky enough to get out of the cycle. And Remember Meritocracy is a lie; we'd already be rich.
Very well done. Hopeful that after decades cases can be solved. Although there are police that don't care about these old cases, there are dedicated officers that do.
I like to hear about justice coming to people who have chosen to do the wrong thing and never admitted to it, which they could have, at any time. Technology being used for good purposes is nice to see as well.
Krista's story - "Then Krista might have said something that made Brad snap and murder her". BE CAREFUL OF YOUR LANGUAGE! She did NOTHING to "make him murder her". It's all on him.
Ughhhh😒🙄really???... Did you complete miss the fact that the narrator said that this was a theory? And usually these were the findings from the case file?? Obviously it's not the victims fault that they were murdered. I'm guessing he was hoping to get back with her and she refused him causing him to snap and unfortunately kill her. So she might of said something to cause him to kill her. We will never know... That is not putting the blame on the victim. Something caused him to kill her..we don't know... They said "she might of"...might of.... meaning maybe.... They don't know....that's just a theory.... I don't know why you think that they are putting blame on the victim... Just curious how would of you stated that sentence? Given what was stated in that case.... Something happened causing him to kill her.... That's a fact you can't take away... And to people who are not completely retarded know that he was a piece of shit that murdered a beautiful young woman and obviously it was not her fault..
Just like my ex-fiancee who put his hands around my neck, shook me hard as he gripped me and then pushed me away. The cops said I was wrong because after that Iwas angry and hit his hand with the end of a two foot charger cord. No excuse for him putting his hands on me like that.
@S f well that escalated quickly for no reason. Which do you think would upset a grieving family more? A happy person who clearly meant no disrespect to anyone or someone pretending to speak on their behalf & taking offense over something that has nothing to do with their loved one? Just sayin.
I would not call it closure if the killer has passed away without ever being arrested. That is called getting away with murder. One larger problem: Over time you will get false positives. This means that innocent people can be decided to be a killer, while being innocent. If they have passed away they will have no chance to show that they are innocent. Of course there will be no incentive anymore to check if they actually are innocent. You have a false positive which means you can close the case. Meanwhile the real killer goes free.
I think it’s a case of losing contact/ falling out because of something with your family and believing they just don’t want to talk/ are being petty. Doesn’t excuse it though, my mind would be racing I would’ve wen straight to the police
Arlin Henderson Troy, Missouri. Same age as my oldest boy at the time. We heard about his disapearance while at a T-Ball game. His bike was found but nothing for 30+ years now. It haunts me that there is no ending from this terrible thing.
I have an old high school friend that disappeared from New York sometime between Christmas and new years, he was on a holiday trip and vanished into thin air. He’s never been found , dead or alive. I pray all the time that someone finds out what happened and that his family gets some closure. It’s been years, a decade if not more . So sad he was a smart talented kid and a great friend.
Marlee, Send the information re his case to John Lordan at UA-cam channel LordanArts to do a story on it and bring him back into the spotlight. John Lordan is an absolute gentleman and great researcher and presenter, with a large subscriber base throughout the country and the world.
The truly sad thing with the first woman (Ms. Vaughn). Her own sister didn't encourage her to get help. "your going to drive into the river? ok then." the second case with angie. who had her younger son for those first 2 years? I can't belive it took that sheiff office 2 year to even start looking for them!
Thanks for including African American victims . I'm NOT a " woke " SJW by the way. But a human life is a human life . And , deep down , if we can blank out the voices of hate - - on both sides (!) - there's still hope for the future. A very small hope but at least it's there !
When my daughter, now 34., was in 7th grade, a schoolmate of hers disappeared from a store half a block from her home. No trace was ever found. Seeing these cold cases getting solved gives me a tiny hope that maybe someday, we will know what happened to Laura Ayala on March 10, 2002 in Houston,TX. Thank you to all the investigators who work so diligently on a seemingly endless task in order to bring closure to the bereaved.

Prayers that their disappearance is solved 🙏 ❤

My uncle was murdered as he was selling ice cream from his ice cream truck about 10 yrs ago and no one has been arrested. The sad part is he didn’t have to work, he did it more or less as a hobby after retiring. A lot of times he would give the kids with no money a small cup of free ice cream or take less than the original price. He was gunned down during a hood up while selling ice cream to kids…. These give me hope his killer will one day face justice.
I really hope and pray they do.. God bless his soul 🙏🏽
He sounds like a great man! I hope your family finds peace
Your uncle was a nice man tf
Sorry for your loss
Omgosh. How horrible. Im sorry.
I never quite understand why law enforcement would say “it’s too early to file a missing person report”. If someone goes missing, the sooner you can start looking for them with a lot of people, the better.
Totally agree. The least they could do is a BOLO. What if it were their loved one?.
So many people that could have been found alive because of these laws. You have to fight hard and give evidence that they're actually missing and in danger from a lot of these cases I've seen. Unless they're children not old enough to "run away".
They lazy
Statistically, in the '70s and '80s 75-80% of missing persons were actually runaways who returned home within 3 days, especially 15-18 year-olds. It was sad for the 20% who were in jeopardy or already dead, but money for the police has never been an infinite amount.
If I remember correctly, that law has been changed to where you can now report someone missing immediately after you notice their absence. There’s no longer a 24-48 hour waiting period because the victim could be dead in that time frame of it was a kidnapping situation. The change to this law went into effect on Jan 1, 1986. I’m not sure what case made it change, but from what I looked up, it was the case of Cara Evelyn Knott.
I swear so many ppl who thought they got away with murder are screwed. Prisons are going to be full of elderly people.
So true. Imagine the fear they feel, waiting for that knock on the door 🙃
no ones caught me yet for killing my gold fish, i thought i took him out his bowl when flushing the dirty fish water........
Their going to have to make a geriatric ward in the prisons.
I know one person who really really need to be locked up she got that poor boy beat up so so bad and lynched but she not jail and you know why 🤦🏽♀️
@@Mama-gi9nv yikes Jesus….
The fact that SO many people could’ve helped Barbara really gets me. Imagine how helpless she felt. Rest In Peace Barbara.
That WAS REALLY SAD what happened to Barbara 😭😭
Gg:reseed
It confuses me. They were talking about him being tried as an adult? But it happened ages ago so.... Idk I've listened twice. My ADHD must be bothering me
@@ivanaparty85, he was 16 when he murdered her.
If the witness went to the middle of the road and screamed at the top of their lungs for help Barbara could be alive today...
It never ceases to blow my mind that multiple people will literally witness something as heinous as someone being dragged into the woods and they’re just like “nope. Not today”
How about people in the town who knew stuff & never said?
@@samanthab1923 agreed. I just can’t imagine watching someone be dragged in the woods and not helping or calling 911, or both. Hearing something and watching something are so different. You have the chance to LITERALLY save a life
I know, right! A prank by 20+ year olds? That is just ridiculous.
Bystander effect man, shit crazy
People don't care and only pretend they care after the fact. Fake people with fake empathy an all those people that did nothing are monsters.
So she was literally in the river she said she would drive in and it took 28yrs to figure that out SMH 😒 they couldn't of did much searching
I believe the reason why it took so long is because the sister never mentioned it. Nowhere does it said she told the police only that her sister told her
Same thing I said! Smh
Clearly you have no idea how long rivers go on for. "Like OMG why didn't they search an ENTIRE RIVER based off of something she's said many months before she dissappeared." GTFOH
@@willowlove927 she did tell police though. Listen to the story again.
She told the police to check the river AND they had checked the river. There must be a reason that the car was hard to spot.
7:34 Angie had a few “close friends” yet none of them reported her missing for 2 years?? Then it took her mother 2 YEARS to report her daughter missing?? So was her mother not informed that her grandson Mickey was reported missing?? The police didn’t question Angies mother when Mickey was reported missing?? Then the wrong picture was submitted? No wonder the case took so long to solve!! It’s a freakin mess.... Idk who dropped the ball?? But why was she not reported as missing when her son was?? Even if they just filed a wanted case for her... Like wanted for questioning? Wanted for information on Mickey?? Anything?. Crazy... Didn’t expect the ending, Like yeah it’s “Solved” but there’s so many questions... And WHOS covering it up and WHY?? Because there’s definitely a cover up happening 4 some reason?? .... And IF they wanted to “adopt” Lil Mickey why did they turn around & murder him also?? NOTHING makes sense here....
RIP ANGIE AND BABY MICKEY!!! 🙏🏽👼🏽👩👦👑💐🌹⭐️🌈☁️🎭💒🧸❤️💛💔
I wondered the same thing about the couple wanting to adopt Mickey and then killing him. Made no sense to me. Unless they were adopting him for sex trafficking. So sad for him.
Many people, mostly women adopt children to receive money from the government. I watched a video where a woman was a temporary care giver was arrested this week. The house was absolutely filthy. The 1 and 2 year old babies hadn’t had their diaper changed or fed in days. I think it was Chicago or Milwaukee. Very sad.
Barbara Krusen told police that Angela, who wanted to move to California, agreed to let the Krusens adopt her son, even signing papers that would enable them to do so. Then she told investigators Angela later told Clarence Krusen she'd had a change of heart about giving up her son, and wanted to come back to get him, so they sent her money to buy a bus ticket so she could come and get the boy. FBI did a polygraph test on Barbara and she failed....And she isn't being charged with anything :O Makes your blood boil :(
It was probably a need to happen situation... like maybe he saw them kill his mom so out of fear they killed him so he wouldn't talk. Could've been one of those if I can't have you no one can bs situations or maybe it was an accident in the process of them killing the mom... so many possibilities! I just want to know was the lady who wanted to adopt the kid charged with murder?
@@desireeb10 Not charged with anything, even hindering a police investigation.
I can't understand how no one reported Angela missing for 2 years...
Someone probably told the mother that her daughter died of a drug overdose, and because of her history, and her transient kind of lifestyle, although she had an address, and the men that she usually picked, her mom probably just believed it. And obviously she didn't care about her grandchildren! She never inquired about the younger one, which we still don't know what happened to the baby toddler that she had, and plus the older one, Mikey, that went with her that died! I guess she just didn't care: the grandmother, that is. Or, my sinister mind thinks that maybe the couple gave her a lot of money, and said that Angela fled,-- cuz she actually really did initially leave-- and DID leave her older son-- Oh, you know she left to go to so and so, came back and took Mikey with her ,and so we don't know what happened to her, & the mother just believed it.
And where is Matthew?
Right? They bring him up once and then never again?
@@kimberlydavis6838yeah where is Matthew?
Especially when her son was reported missing. Did they not try to question his mother, the person he was living with?
These videos are so satisfying to see. It's tragic that all this happened, but I'm happy that we're able to solve all these cases and finally bring those answers to light.
The case of Barbara Tucker is so sad. There was no need for her to die if just one of those witnesses had stopped to help.
I totally agree!
People are shit unfortunately
They were probably afraid to be victims too. There are many people who died while trying to help others.
The witness described as "maybe friends being playful with eachother" but what friend grabs someone in such v1olent way then proceeds to drag them away from the road?
You wouldn't have done anything either.
I love it when a scientist and detective get together and work on the clues of a cold case to find out what happened and by who. It's like they give the victim a chance to fight back from the grave. Truly honorable.
Yes!... It gives me faith in ppl who take their careers very seriously, such as these . Gives me hope in humanity. 👍🙏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

The fact that some cold cases aren't solved for decades because there is no budget to analyze the DNA and that private people take it on themselves to come up with money to use genetic genealogy to solve cases or give Jane and John Does their names back...
I've seen tons of videos now with genetic genealogy beeing the key in solving crimes recently and I hope this will actually be used much more.
Jails will be full with elderly murderers but justice needs to be served no matter what. Nothing more frustrating than finding out the killer lived a long and happy live til they died.
It's not that private people are using money to solve crimes. The general public using "23 and Me" and other family dna stuff that people do for fun (to see what our ancestry may be; ie. ethnicities, relatives, etc), and these places now have the DNA on file. Only recently have police been using DNA from cold cases and been able to compare them to these data bases, since they're a more recent thing.
Proof the system is shit
Jails won't be full. Nice fantasy though.
A lot of the time the technology simply didn't exist, or technology at the time would've taken a while to sequence and analyze the DNA.
We have several cold cases in my area and when discussed on Tv or newspaper, a reward fund is usually mentioned. I don't understand why the people involved don't use that money to have genetic genealogy research done? One case involves the ambush murder of a police officer. Perpetrators actually moved a tree trunk onto an off ramp, so whomever came along(most believe he was targeted)had to get out of their car to move it. He was then shot and killed. I heard rumors that human DNA other than Ofc Ellis was on the tree trunk. We also have the savage stabbing murders of a mother and her teen daughter. Surely to Gawd there's foreign DNA at that crime scene!
I’m always fascinated at the ability we have to solve these cases today. I’m glad families are finally getting answers.
It’s astounding how many cases in this day and age become a cold case.
Epstein
@@Enochulate88 Whoever had him murdered knows who did it, but is anyone really demanding Justice for Jeffrey?
Think about the amount of em? They be needing FBI for help too. It takes weeks to really even solve the case.
What’s more astounding is to consider is as many murderers walk free amount us!
I've always said, perfect murders happen all the time. You can't commit a perfect one for sure, on purpose, but you can end up committing one if you're lucky. That happens all too often.
I find the police department extremely incompetent in the "Vaughn" case. They already knew that the victim threatened to dive into the river. They should've done a better job in finding her not wait for a fishing boat to stumble on her 28 years later. Such a shame
Well said
That's exactly what I thought, her relatives died not knowing what happened to her
It’s a huge job needing sonar to find a car that has gone in the water mainly because of the very large search area. They are not easy to spot because of murky water. Think you could have done better then grab your swimsuit and have a go at other missing cars and people.
@@Turnbull50 while what you say is likely true, they could've dragged a section of the river. But mostly, Louisiana is a lazy ass state, not real willing to put themselves out for some ol black girl w no old money or political power. I lived there a long time.

I grew up in Great Falls, Mt. My mother dated Patricia Kalitzke's brother and always terrified me with this story. Definitely had an impact on my dating life. Even though it had happened decades before, I was terrified to go to lonely parking areas with guys.
How awful and sad. Must have taken a strain on the whole community. Murders are so hard to dela with, and I can´t imagine how unsolved murders must feel for the family and everyone involved around the family. It´s just so sad all of it. Beautiful young people with their whole life in front of them.
So thankful for the advances in dna that we are getting all these killers who have gotten away with it for so long. I hope these people are constantly living in utter fear.
Right the more DNA advances including the familiar DNA database which can really find some people who otherwise wouldnt ever be found out about, the more these murderers should be panicking. Imagine some of them have married and had kids and there families would have no idea and thats horrifying for the family close to the killer imagine getting a knock at the door to find that out.
Or all the innocent people in prison for something they didn’t do while the real killer lives their life.
And to think we went from hitting rocks together to solvings decades old cases
I AGREE!!! Not only CONVICTING, but EXONERATING those that WERE FALSELY accused of crimes.
@@jonathanwhite4868 as annoying as it is to say, ( i can see the eye rolls) people are more looked at as guilty until proven Innocent.
That would be unbelievably frustrating, when it's obvious who the killer is, but it still becomes a cold case.

Sadly a lot of police stations don't take cases seriously. It was a stroke of luck that Dale Weaver came along and decided to actually give this case

On the first case, they should have called Adventures With Purpose. They do river sonar searches and have found over 16 people submerged in cars in different States. I’ve seen a few videos of their recoveries. Glad their families got the answers.

HOW does a 4 year old go missing and they don't go to talk to the mother ??????
Good question.
How is there a rumor a child was murdered, and it not looked into. Like who would make that rumor with no evidence of it? That 2 second case was so shady it wasn’t even logical.
My husband grew up down in Alton the whole police department used to all be related and corrupt af the sheriff even got busted growing weed an played it like he didn't know what it was...
In 1990 my friends and I were in our early 20's, and we decided to go down to Wildwood in Nj...we all lived in Nj at that time. We visited a few nightclubs and closed the Stardust at 4:00am. When I got home, I turned on the news, and there was the Stardust....a girl about my age had been murdered and left next to a dumpster behind the club. Over the decades I thought about her quite often... wondering if anyone would ever be punished for it.
2022...they caught the prick. He was living 5 miles from me at the time. Her name was Susan Negersmith.
The fact that Patricia's sister had demensia by the time they solved the case, breaks my heart. She never got an answer or closure for her sisters death. I pray Patricia's soul is at peace.

Just a note to the creator... there's only one tiny mistake in your telling of the story. Salem is located in the Ozarks and in Fulton County but Angela Mack Cox was from Salem, Fulton county, AR (Arkansas) not AZ Arizona. The Ozarks are in Missouri and Arkansas. Love your mysteries, thanks!
What’s strange about this mistake it has been repeated in several different reports of this specific case. I live in Arizona and have heard of this case a few times, all referencing Arizona instead of Arkansas.
I'm from Arkansas and that confused me too!
The Arkansas flag is in the video as well...lol.
as someone who lives in missouri side ozarks this was so confusing for me too. At the beginning of the video he said Oregon, then he said ozarks, then he said Arkansas and at some point Arizona? As someone who lives at the bottom of Missouri this geography was confusing
That isn't a tiny mistake. that is a BIG mistake. Plus, if the creator of the video thinks the Ozarks run through Arizona then are really uneducated about geography
Thank God for the detectives who put their time into these cases. If not for them they would never be solved! This touches home for me as a close family member was murdered almost 30 years ago and it is still unsolved. 🙏
Gawd, I'm sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine how that feels. Hopefully, you'll find answers, and the perpetrator gets what's owed.
I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I do know how you feel as my father was poisoned to death by his second wife. His death was unexpected so tests were run. By the time the results came back she had taken off after she found out she wasn't inheriting much and is still at large almost 11 years later.

WTF was a security outfit doing in 1988 - 1993 hiring criminals, especially violent and or those of theft for any kind of security issue, much less in charge of protecting young women from harm and parked vehicles from theft???? And why didn't the college also look into the backgrounds of those working on their campus, even IF they were already supposed to be vetted by the security company. That looks like a HUGE lawsuit right there!!!
It’s also 1988. Before coffee had the hot warnings on the sides
@@veasey3997
??? My comment is about security for a college not being vetted. What does before and after "caution Hot" stickers were added to coffee have to do with that??
Wtf. The dude wouldn't give Janet a ride home bc she was sick, but none of her friends inside the bar came out to check on her or help her get home. They just left their sick friend stuck outside the bar not caring who might take advantage of her? She wouldn't have been killed if even one of them came out for her. What a bunch of douches. People be careful who you go out with make sure they are at least the kind of people who wouldn't abandon you if you were made to leave the bar and too ill to figure out a way home.
How true. I always drove myself to my destination and back home. I never depended on anyone else. I never got so impaired that I couldn't drive. It always served me well. I know how people get when they're out partying. Someone doesn't want to leave, someone wants to leave with someone else, etc. Gotta take care of yourself.
If my friend couldn't get into a bar then I would leave. Drinking poison isn't worth losing a friend over. Selfish shitty people 🙄

Doubt they care at all about the lack of there actions. Maybe one day they'll be put in a serious situation where no one helps them and they'll know how it feels.
In the Robert Durst murder, Detective Struck refused to investigate her disappearance saying "she's probably just shacked up with some other guy." Hard to believe he helped solve this.

I’m no bootlicker and I’m very critical of the police, but it should not matter what your race, social status or religion is cops should treat each and every person as human but AWARENESS is the key thing they should have to treat people who are a threat differently. Cops need to always be alert and aware of the person they are dealing with, but emotions based on your bank account is BS.

So thankful for all of the hardworking authorities and families who have worked so diligently to keep the cases alive. May the victims now RIP.
I’ll bet when she went back to get her son, she found out they were abusing him. So they killed her and him. Something weird going on with her mom not saying anything for two years about her missing and never even mentioning that couples name and that she thought her grandson was with them. Thank god for that one cop who took it over and wouldn’t let it go.
So none of those witnesses in the Barbra Tucker case stopped to help her ??? WTF .. I hope they never forget her face .. If you see something like this you have to help , even if you are scared !!
so the woman’s body was never found and the guy was arrested for sex trafficking?... did the police not try and put 2 and 2 together or??

You said Janet was not allowed into the bar because she was not of drinking age. Everyone else was let inside but her.
Then you said the murder dude came back to retrieve her purse that she left inside at the bar.
How did it get inside the bar if she was not allowed inside?
Maybe they were inside but tried to order drinks and was asked for I.D. then she was told to leave I'm not sure
Louisiana doesn't have counties we only have parishes but thank you for doing this story this is so great that it is out there for people to hear

@@kipram108 I also have to add that there is no actual physical evidence to prove whether she was actually killed by the couple from Alton or not. The whole farm place was gone by the time they got a confession from the wife. So while it’s “solved” it also isn’t.
In case #3, it's sad what society has come to. 😔 People can be murdered right in front of people and No One cares. Very, Very Sad! Shame on People! Shame on You!

Paints a huge red “kill me for snitching” target on your back if you tell on the wrong person. Hardly worth it especially if you aren’t involved in the first place.
Hi, just a tip. In the first case you spoke of a case in Louisiana. We don’t have counties here, we have parishes. I’m glad you covered this case. It was a very very bittersweet thing that happened here.
They got the wrong state for Angela Mack Cox too. It’s Fulton County, Arkansas, not Arizona…
Thank you for the updates on these cases. Very well narrated.
? Question for the Angela Mack Cox case, Why did the couple kill the child Mickey when they wanted to adopt him?
My parents live on the river in Natchitoches parish where the first story takes place. The river is about 4 to 9 feet deep. We were all shocked that the car wasn't found earlier, especially since about 10 years ago the river level was down to about 4 feet.
Especially when the sister told them to look there!
Par for the course. The police are too lazy to investigate. If I thought a family member was there, I'd investigate myself or find someone that would.
What colour was the car? If it was a darker colour it would probably blend in to the river bottom and water. I went back and listened again and it never mentioned the colour.
How could you not report your own daughter missing for 2 years? And what about the ex? You report your son missing and not your ex? WTF?
'everyone heard screaming'
'no one called 911'
Every other case the public hears of.
@@cw2497 and the fact that's a fact, makes me sad and sick.
The bystander affect will NEVER make sense to me.
I've been the victim of it myself at a young age (I was being beaten and screaming for help, as I laid there after, before I passed out, I saw someone was watching from almost every house. But no one helped, no one even called for help. They just stood there and watched an 8 year old have the shit be beat outta her)so maybe that's why I'd rather be safe and wrong than ignore something I shouldn't have..I just can't understand how on Earth people do that.

The second case, about the woman named Angie and her one son being murdered by prospective adoptees.... What happened to her younger son? With his father in custody.....did he grow up in the fostercare system? Get adopted? There's no mention of him. I hope he's doing okay. He'd be in his 20s now.

The younger boy’s father wasn’t the one in prison It was the older sons father incarcerated
@@erynramirez1469 actually, it was the other way around. The older boys father had gotten out of prison and was trying to turn his life around.
I was wondering the same exact thing, how was there no mention of what happened to the 2nd son
What happened to the other son of Angela Cox? She had 2 children, so someone had to have been caring for him when she left to fetch her oldest son. Why is this never mentioned or questioned?
That was my question almost all the way through. We need to know
Found the answer in a reply to V.
Because it's fake
I’m trying to figure out why they didn’t test under her fingernails after discovering the scratch on his face.
It happened in the 1970’s so DNA wasn’t available yet.
The woman and her older son were murdered by the so called adoptee parents, but no one said what happened to the younger son.

Such a calm and peaceful voice. Perfect for narrations like this. I Love seeing solved cases, it gives me hope for those not yet solved! Seems like a great channel!
Hello Lucy
That's a very tragic video.. well how are you today? I wish you a happy day 🍒🌹💐
His voice reminds me a little of Neil Degrasse Tyson!
Wow, this video gave me chills! The production quality and attention to detail are absolutely phenomenal. You always manage to keep me hooked from start to finish.
When watching on the first case what was considered a small town with 840 people I remembered that in the town where my grandma was born right now there are less than 100 people who are actually living in a house in the town. Most people who used to live there are now deceased and their sons and daughters use the houses as summer houses (my family included).
So small in fact is the town that they only have phone tower, and no Wifi. My grandmas family was the first one to officially own a phone in the town back in the 50s or 60s and you could pay outside their house to make a call. Currently there are no stores, except for a bakery, a church, and a place in which you can rent one of 3 pools to pass the time. There has never been a Seven-Eleven. I found out my great grandfather used to own back in the time the only store that could somehow resemble a 7-11, they sold tools, novelty jewelry, kitchen stuff, sewing equipment, clothes, candy (grandma told me they did, but any evidence that could be is obviously already spoiled) paint and brushes, and stuff like that.
Is it even a town if less than 100 people actually reside in it…?
I don't believe so
#15. Edward Surratt. He did two murders in Youngstown suburbs (North Lima, OH) and the one he will not confess to nor say where the body is. Not solved. It was Linda Hamilton. He never confessed where her body is, just that he had killed her, hence the reason he didn't get his request. I used to own the bar Hamilton worked at in prior years, and I live about 1/2 mile from where we think her body was. In a strip mine.
I seriously wasn’t expecting the story at 50:19 it’s not often people talk about cases from here in Great Falls and it was weird because I’ve never heard of this case either.
Have mercy, Angie really did know how to pick'em. One is a known method addict and another one is in and out of jail. This is why I always took time to myself after a breakup. Especially if the guy was horrible. I would take time out to reflect and see what I did wrong in choosing this guy? So that I don't repeat my mistake. If you keep picking loser after loser it might just be you.
Yeah that makes sense for people who have options and live in places where the majority of their community members are productive, contributing members of society. This may be a long response and i preemptively apologize for that but i feel its important to explain a little about why she may have been with guys like that. I live near where Angie lived in Arkansas and in the small, rural towns here almost every single person living in them have severe addictions to alcohol,meth, opioids, heroin or a combination of all 4. Those areas, sadly, are predominantly populated by people who fall far below the poverty level, are poorly educated and most don't even finish high school & most girls have at least one child, but most have 2 or 3, before they even turn 18 and even though the dads live in town, too, they typically fall into the dead beat dad category so their children are raised by single moms. You have to understand that in these rural areas there is literally nothing to do to keep children busy and out of trouble which affects not only them but adds stress and financial strain to their already strapped mothers who have to pay to replace broken or stolen property and even bail when the teens get caught stealing, smoking weed or driving under the influence. That's just how it is in areas where that cycle has been repeating itself for generations and will likely continue for many more. In these towns, these young women have dreams of finding a man who look loves them and will give them a better life, they see all that on tv and online so they know better a life exists, they've just never seen what it takes to have that, they don't see sober men who don't abuse their wives and get drunk or get high every night. It's all they know. In a town with a population of 700 or 800 people, there are only so many single guys. Out of those, even less are in the age range desirable to a young woman in her early 20s. This is why we hear of so many women from these small towns hitch their wagons to loser after loser and wind up in horrific situations. Sorry to leave such a long response but i felt it necessary to give a small peek into why/how women like Angie make some of the choices they do.
Don't be a dick and blame the victim, you don't know that persons life or how they got to where they are. You took time for you cause you valued you n someone taught you to or showed you how. Not everyone is blessed with anyone good growing up to show them true love so they grow up feeling devalued and still smiling. Show a heart before you comment.
@@sunnidavis195 I agree. I live in the south. I was shocked to see so much poverty when we went to Arkansas. Birth control should definitely be free. If government officials would do the math, it would save a lot of money and tragedies. 😢
True. Using discretion can save your life. Otherwise, they’d be crying about their freedom to date the bad boy. Many crimes have happened amongst the wealthy. Especially to collect insurance on the other person, so it’s not all about poverty. At some point, a person needs to be responsible for themselves. Life choices hold consequences.

Tbh the environment of Arkansas can create a society of dead beats... look at different states with better education and infrastructure. With better opportunities.
Hell I can bet Cali alone has produced more money then all of the southern states combined. With a lot of social programs and taxes the standard of living is higher.
If I remember correctly Kentucky is actually a net loss to taxpayers money.
Instead of uplifting we just leave them to die.
In the end
You just got to get lucky enough to get out of the
cycle.
And Remember Meritocracy is a lie; we'd already be rich.
So grateful I just found your channel, you've won me, excellent coverage
thanks for the amazing upload, sorry for the people who lost their loved ones, i hope they all find peace one day.
Glad I found your channel man. Great job. Can't wait to see more and go binge watch older vids.
#1 So the woman told her sister or was threatening that she would drive into a lake or river but no one thought to check that out? Strange
Very well done. Hopeful that after decades cases can be solved.
Although there are police that don't care about these old cases, there are dedicated officers that do.
So they do care?
"Police don't care....oh, uhhh, um but officers do" lol wtf?
Man offers to drive a woman to her house she appears to be sick he says he'll no longer take her home what a gentleman
I’ve never clicked anything so fast to watch thank u sir!!!!!
Don't you know there's free porn online??
@@caesarvolz6945 weirdo
imagine you comit the almost perfect crime and than your cousin does a 23 and me and you`re getting caught :)
Say what?
I'm glad all of these have been solved!
I like to hear about justice coming to people who have chosen to do the wrong thing and never admitted to it, which they could have, at any time. Technology being used for good purposes is nice to see as well.
Krista's story - "Then Krista might have said something that made Brad snap and murder her". BE CAREFUL OF YOUR LANGUAGE! She did NOTHING to "make him murder her". It's all on him.
Ughhhh😒🙄really???... Did you complete miss the fact that the narrator said that this was a theory? And usually these were the findings from the case file?? Obviously it's not the victims fault that they were murdered. I'm guessing he was hoping to get back with her and she refused him causing him to snap and unfortunately kill her. So she might of said something to cause him to kill her. We will never know... That is not putting the blame on the victim. Something caused him to kill her..we don't know... They said "she might of"...might of.... meaning maybe.... They don't know....that's just a theory.... I don't know why you think that they are putting blame on the victim... Just curious how would of you stated that sentence? Given what was stated in that case.... Something happened causing him to kill her.... That's a fact you can't take away... And to people who are not completely retarded know that he was a piece of shit that murdered a beautiful young woman and obviously it was not her fault..
What if she said the n-word? That's apparently a perfectly acceptable reason to kill certain people.
Exactly
Just like my ex-fiancee who put his hands around my neck, shook me hard as he gripped me and then pushed me away. The cops said I was wrong because after that Iwas angry and hit his hand with the end of a two foot charger cord. No excuse for him putting his hands on me like that.
As someone born and raised in Maine I always grin when people try to pronounce places there.
Sad stories, but glad to see these cases resolved.
@S f are you kidding me right now? You’re ridiculous.
@S f well that escalated quickly for no reason. Which do you think would upset a grieving family more? A happy person who clearly meant no disrespect to anyone or someone pretending to speak on their behalf & taking offense over something that has nothing to do with their loved one? Just sayin.
Rest In Peace Barbara 🙏🏻 sorry no one helped you!! I hope they can’t sleep at night knowing they could’ve saved a life and didn’t 🥺🥺!!!
Sweet! Perfect for this rainy Sunday.
My Thoughts Exactly.... Raining and Dreary in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. A Perfect Evening for this Video.... 🙏
I would not call it closure if the killer has passed away without ever being arrested. That is called getting away with murder.
One larger problem: Over time you will get false positives. This means that innocent people can be decided to be a killer, while being innocent. If they have passed away they will have no chance to show that they are innocent. Of course there will be no incentive anymore to check if they actually are innocent. You have a false positive which means you can close the case. Meanwhile the real killer goes free.
You have a wonderful voice for these narrations.
The Angie one seems like they didn’t care about a teen mom
I think it’s a case of losing contact/ falling out because of something with your family and believing they just don’t want to talk/ are being petty. Doesn’t excuse it though, my mind would be racing I would’ve wen straight to the police
Things like this give me hope for my family. Losing Justin Hocutt was a great loss on them all. #JusticeforJustin
I read Justin's story I am so sorry for your families tragedy I hope they do reopen the case and you get the justice he deserves.
I love the content but Salem, Fulton County is in Arkansas not Arizona.
Arlin Henderson Troy, Missouri. Same age as my oldest boy at the time. We heard about his disapearance while at a T-Ball game. His bike was found but nothing for 30+ years now. It haunts me that there is no ending from this terrible thing.
#2 is in Arkansas, not Arizona. Kinda caught my ear when I heard the Ozarks were in Arizona.
Your voice! The heaven opened the day your voice settled and blessed us all. Keep it up!
I have an old high school friend that disappeared from New York sometime between Christmas and new years, he was on a holiday trip and vanished into thin air. He’s never been found , dead or alive. I pray all the time that someone finds out what happened and that his family gets some closure. It’s been years, a decade if not more . So sad he was a smart talented kid and a great friend.
Marlee, Send the information re his case to John Lordan at UA-cam channel LordanArts to do a story on it and bring him back into the spotlight. John Lordan is an absolute gentleman and great researcher and presenter, with a large subscriber base throughout the country and the world.
Whoa, this is like scrolling through stock footage rather than a crime solving show.
May all those who passed Rest In Peace May y’all family and friends find healing and peace my heart bleeds for all
Good job on the video. Very interesting cases you covered .
The truly sad thing with the first woman (Ms. Vaughn). Her own sister didn't encourage her to get help. "your going to drive into the river? ok then."
the second case with angie. who had her younger son for those first 2 years? I can't belive it took that sheiff office 2 year to even start looking for them!
You are getting a snippet of the FACTS. The family did encourage her to get help.
Thanks for including African American victims . I'm NOT
a " woke " SJW by the way. But a human life is a human life .
And , deep down , if we can blank out the voices of hate -
- on both sides (!) - there's still hope for the future. A very
small hope but at least it's there !
