Megyn Kelly With The Mother Of Crystal Rogers, Who Went Missing 3 Years Ago | Megyn Kelly TODAY
That bulb popping scared me, it was at the exact moment when she was talking about her husband that it happened. Not a coincidence at all, her husband won't rest until the right people get convicted.
SuperZandersmom I’m totally with you on that. These things are never a coincidence. That was definitely her husband!!
That definitely was Tommy!
Ray Charles - This is a satirical post right? Taking the p*ss out of people? Because I really struggle to read it as a serious statement....
She was going to say, “Crystal Roger’s father, Tommy Ballard, went hunting on Ballard’s private property with his 12-year-old grandson on the morning of November 19, 2016. At some point the 54-year-old remained alone in the field, while his grandson walked back to the car to retrieve something they had forgotten. It was at this time that Tommy was shot and killed by a single gunshot to the chest. Police ruled out a possible suicide, as Tommy’s gun was never fired.”
Exactly what I was thinking
Came to comments to see if anybody thought the same
Theres no way that was a coincidental technical problem. She's describing the moment her husband is shot and the sound of a shot pops off. That's a sign from her husband.
Agreed! I JUST made a comment like this! He was definitely there with her!
No. That was a gun “empty” shot. Straight up. I’m felt that.
Absolutely
She was going to say that the grandson was going back to the car to get something they forgot and as soon as he got there the grandpa was shot and killed, plus his gun was never fired so they ruled out a suicide.
And what exactly would that sign mean from a dead husband?😂 3:09
ok the boyfriend had a brother in the police dept? yeah ok, case closed.
I agree
Not all officers cover up cases though.
but the majority of officers do cover up for eachother and for the good name of the police dept. This type of corruption exists in police organizations worldwide. Very few officers would be willing to stick their head above the parapet and blow the whistle on corruption they see. Its why whistleblowers are possibly the most courageous individuals in existence. They usally end up being terribly harassed and blacklisted because of it. Its up to the public to start holding law enforcement to account more often, this will in turn empower the more ethical officers within law enforcement.
+Kirsten Creamer Yes they do, u r wrong. They cover for each other sooo much that the ones who do tell the truth dosn't add up enoght to make a difference. Maybe one out of 5 million. That makes it none .
but it does happen and that is a close link
You need outside investigators to come in when its a small town because you have dirty cops that will get away with crimes
Janet woods, u got that right!
Janet Woods totally agree! 🙌🙌
BINGO. You nailed it. Tommy was apparently close to nailing the killer
Example: Officer Jason Ellis MURDER
Her husbands house literally just got set fire yesterday so you tell me her dad sniped out from the highway
Tommy loved his daughter and the family. HE won't RIP until his daughter's case is solved.
I was raised in Bardstown. It is a crooked little town. These murders are not the only unsolved recent murders. I pray that they find the truth. This family deserves peace.
Bardstown is a small town with a lot of secrets
Bullitt County is just as crooked, I was beaten, shot , stabbed by my ex Billy Webb, Judge Elise Givan Spainhour illegally gave my kids to his mom to take to prison after he murdered his neighbor, Judge Ethel Lee Taylor court ordered for him to move in with me
Crooked??? No it's not. Unless you're involved in things you shouldn't be. I have lived here my entire life and never had one issue. Every town has issues and bad people and secrets. But the word 'crooked' I believe is not the correct word.
Her car was found with keys in the ignition etc. Looked like a police stop to me. In fact the whole thing could lead to police involvement.
I think her car was dumped there and she was never in it that night. There was a flat tyre, which I think was done deliberately to make it look as if she’d pulled over to deal with it. I think it was a staged crime scene. The seat was in a different position to how it would have been if she had been driving and when they brought sniffer dogs out to the car, they couldn’t find any scent of her outside of the vehicle, which they would have found had she got out of the vehicle.
SHE WAS FEED TO THE PIGS ON THAT FARM SHE NEVER DROVE THAT CAR
They said the dog that hit on her scent on the farm or elsewhere yet never picked up her scent on the BG or the car . They told Nick while interrogating him it was as if she was never in the car and he's right someone drove her car to that spot and it was Nicks cruiser that the dog hit on a blanket in the trunk .
BROOKS brother was a cop, he falled the polygraph test
We live around this area, and this has been on the news for so long. My heart goes out to these people
Nothing can stop the truth from revealing itself ...no matter how long it takes decades or days it will reveal itself and Crystal and her father can rest in peace ...may her family find solace and strength
I would have to agree with you, because I know that there's someone out there that knows what had happened to this woman, because we all know that there's always someone that likes to boast and brag about what had happened, I hope that this woman's family would find closure too.
Amen now they have it
That was not I’ll timing. Her husbands spirit was letting y’all know he was there and that he was murdered. I’m an Empath and that was my first feeling when the pop happen.
I am also empathetic and I totally agree with you!
Are you 2 embedded in this case? Watch sherriffs video where crystals dad is in the background crying. He forcibly coughs every time the sherrif says "sherriffs"
Well, Brooks has been arrested. We'll see what happens. My heart goes out to Crystal's family and loved ones, especially the kids.
*Tommy was amazing!* I'm in awe. I hope they solve the case based upon his notes and stones he turned over.
I would have to agree with you, I hope that This Family Finds Closure to knowing what had happened to this woman.
Mrs. Sherry Ballard has such a sweet voice. I hope they catch whoever did this!
I love it too! I want her to read me a bedtime story, like she would her grandchildren. She’s a sparkling angel.
This is such a tragic situation. I'm praying for the families affected by the murders in Bardstown.
I would have to agree with you, because I too am praying for the families too, I hope that someday, someone, somewhere knows what happened to this mom, and will have the courage to come forward and tell the police and bring the families closure too.
Whoever watches this clip & hasn't seen "The disappearance of Crystal Rogers" documentary 5 episodes on Oxygen needs to watch!!! There is so much more to Crystal & her dad along with other murders.
How many episodes and what are they called? There's so much there.
@@melissaweigh4508 The disapperence of Crystal Rogers 5 episodes. On Oxygen network. Find it on demand.
Thank you. About to go right now and watch the docuseries on Oxygen on Demand. My deepest sympathy and condolences to this entire family and friends. May God Almighty be with you all and that the cases gets solved to get justice for Crystal and her loving father in Jesus’ precious and holy name
Amen 🙏🏾 🙏🏽🙏🏽.
does anyone else think the light popping was her husband???
ooooohhhh yes!!!
YES!!
Yessir - Tommy was confirming he was murdered. I don't know how the police can suggest it may have been an accident - do they think the little boy with him, his nephew, did it?? Or that he accidentally shot himself in the back? It was an obvious assassination because he was investigating Crystal's murder and getting close to a breakthrough. Sickening that the Houck brothers are still walking freely among us!
ME...🤚
Goosebumps, yes
When that bulb just so happened to pop when she was talking about her husband being mysteriously shot to death.....
Tassy McCormick restless souls are real
WoW the light popping is definitely crystals father, their spirits are there.
I live in Bardstown but I don’t want to put any input on the situation because I don’t want to be next. But for anyone who’s reading, I highly recommend a show called “the disappearance of crystal Rogers”, it has all the information and theories on her disappearance
Oh my God is it that bad. Anybody else die recently
Update: Brooks home was raided 2 days ago bc they found human remains.
#BringCrystalhome
#BringCrystalhome
Was it her??
@@trinbryant5557 no. I was reading those remains were not hers.
Wow, so he has killed others as well. Smfh
Misinformation! I live here, no remains were found in his home. They raided his home because of his theft charges.
Danelle Hallan covered this case here on UA-cam. It's so sad and I hope this family receives justice *soon* . It's pretty obvious who did it
So very sad for this family ... the light bulb was a little spooky. Boyfriend did it imo
They have arrested Brooks Houck the boyfriend/baby daddy. This is my hometown. Sooooo happy he has been arrested!!!
So sad! I hope to see soon that they find the killer. I've never seen a bulb pop on any show like that. Take note! At least the father had something to say!
I'll Bet that moment was on TMZ.
SEPTEMBER 27TH 2023 THEY ARRESTED BROOKS THE BOYFRIEND FOR MURDER
If they don't know who shot the father on his own property, how could ihis death possibly be an "accident".
omg his spirit is the one who popped the light bulb!!!
That was definitely not some "random technical issue". Wow 🙌🙏🙏 That was a sign from God not to give up and his spirit was with them for sure. I truly hope that this family can finally get some definite answers and finds peace/closure in these senseless tragedies.
Amen! 🙌🙌🙌
@@hawanaturahman5925 I would have to agree with you, I hope that someday someone, somewhere might know what happened to this woman, I hope that person whoever He or She is, would have the courage to come forward and call the police. even though it's been only 8 years (2023), I think that Someone, Somewhere Knows what happened, because we all know in this day and age, there's always people that like to Boast and Brag about what had happened.
The truth is coming soon.
I believe it was a sign too
The light popping was the husband ❤ it happen right when she was gonna say thats when he got shot then the light it pooped ! That was the husband giving his wife a sign that shes on the right track 💓
YES it was her husband giving them a sign
Crystal Roger’s father, Tommy Ballard, went hunting on Ballard’s private property with his 12-year-old grandson on the morning of November 19, 2016. At some point the 54-year-old remained alone in the field, while his grandson walked back to the car to retrieve something they had forgotten. It was at this time that Tommy was shot and killed by a single gunshot to the chest. Police ruled out a possible suicide, as Tommy’s gun was never fired.
My son lives in Btown....the cops are complicit. Thats all I will say.
this breaks my heart
I feel sorry for Crystal's family and friends plus for her dad Tommy too this is TRAGIC BEYOND WORDS... God bless the family and friends of Crystal and Tommy's family....🙏
I would have to agree with you, also I hope that this family finds closure into knowing what happened to this woman, Because I believe that someone, somewhere in this world, (maybe that person might be reading this and other posts on this video, because I know that UA-cam can be seen anywhere in the united states and the world as well), might know what happened to this woman, because there's always someone that's always bragging about what had happened, maybe someone might've overheard this woman's ex-boyfriend talk about what had happened, and is too scared to call the police.
Omg she has the perfect narrative voice!! She needs a job doing Crim docu. Kellys getting more and more open minded I like it
me too she is such a great journalist on her magazine show I am loving her stories and questioning skills
This is incredibly tragic
Such a sad story and very tragic for this family. I hope, sooner rather than later, that the Kentucky Police Department gets to the bottom of it. Megyn Kelly is a good interviewer and handled the case sensitively.
Almost sounds like the plot some writer in Hollywood would be coming up with for the next movie or TV detective drama.
God bless her sweet mom 😭😭😭
Thanx so much Megyn for getting on this! Hugs and prayers for you, Crystal's family and all dedicated in the search for Crystal and the truth of it all.
One thing not mentioned in the video is that the police department took a little while to start the investigation. They waited until after it rained, washing some evidence away. Plus Houck's brother was on the police force, so I definitely think there was some police interference
And Houck owns several construction sites around Bardstown so if he wanted to hide a body, he easily could have
I'm from Bardstown and I went to high school with her daughters and now work with the oldest one. They're the sweetest girls and I just hope them and the rest of the family stay safe❤️🙏
somebody was watching Tommy because he had too much information and what about the grandson is he creepy? dateline!
Grandson was 10 years old and traumatized
We all know who did it but the good old boys network is Alive and Well in Nelson County
I would advise sweet Mrs Ballard to move the box of evidence to another secure location. This lady is just too kind. And i have a feeling people, bad folks will try to seize the evidence. Praying for this sweet mother.
SHE NEED TO MOVE TIL THIS CASE IS OVER
She no longer has it FBI does
She is NOT safe
Did the mother and daughter who were murdered in that town have any connection to these murders?
I might sound crazy, but I feel like that light pop, was her husband letting his wife know he is right there beside her.
September 27th 2023 they arrested BROOKS IN Crystal murder
The Ballard family is a strong and loving family. Crystal was blessed to have them. Peace will be long in coming.
WOW.. SPIRIT IS COMING THROUGH.. PERFECT TIMING
All I can say it God bless this mother, can't imagine
I hope and pray that this lady's family finds closer on what had happened to her and her dad, I also hope that whoever did it, won't be so lucky when he faces our heavenly father on the day of judgement.
im from there in kentucky not to far from there and have been hearing this recently
IMO that was not a tecnical problem! That was paranormal. I have never heard anything like that in the 58 years of my life on any tv talk show!
okay, so i already posted this on another comment, but i just thought it needed to be seen..
brooks owns my neighborhood, and he had a lot of new houses built whenever she disappeared. there’s even a house that has a completely different colored driveway (that he worked on) then the rest of the house. me and my mom believe that she’s probably buried somewhere in the houses. plus, no detectives or police officers have EVER been in our neighborhood during this, and i don’t think anybody has ever thought about it. but, let’s look at the case. as soon as it was reported, it was taken as a murder case. not a missing persons case. and this was during the time that nick (brooks’ brother) was on the force. and whenever brooks’ was talk to he said “i don’t have anything to say. i really don’t have anything to say because i don’t know anything so i don’t have anything to say.” and i find t funny that he repeated himself so many times, because repetition is a sign of lying. something to add on, a woman named crystal maupin was arrested for stealing the missing posters from around town. well guess what- she’s brooks’ new girlfriend. a quote from sherry “why wouldn’t she help why? why wouldn’t she give us all the support, if he’s as innocent as he says?” and that’s a very good point. why would she be stealing signs from around town? all it does is just make it seem more suspicious. and the fact that nick called him in the middle of the interview (which got him fired) saying “don’t tell them anything” and “they’re just gonna screw you over” makes t look pretty bad for the both of them. 🤷🏼♂️
You wrote this 2 years ago and now they have honed in on at least one of them houses just days ago finding items of interest . Pray they found what they need to put charges on him . You were right .
Yay, finally arrests! Hopefully Tommy, Crystals father gets justice as well. ❤️🙏🏼
That was seriously no accident, that was a sign from the grave. It really was.
Gosh, that noise even made me jump
I know both of the girls in the picture of their family and it's still sad to know that this case still hasn't been solved. Our police force is literal garbage.
That's pretty obvious. The police are afraid. What a place to live!!!
If this is the case I'm thinking about, and I'm 90% sure it is, Megyn Kelly doesn't have enough time on her show to get into it. There are a few conspiracies with this case and I believe there is definitely a cover up or 2.
Kelly Sloan can you share more details of where you’ve gotten this information. I’m just curious and would like to research
Watch oxygen on it or podcast called bardstown.
So sad they still haven’t found any answers. The truth MUST come out eventually
The best show in the world !!!
I smell something reeeeeaaaallll fishy in the Bardstown PD... .
This is just tragic..my heart goes out to their family. I remember watching a crime you tuber talk about this case. If I remember right , I think Crystal's aunt or great aunt had also gone missing before Crystal.?.?.
I think Brooks brother Nick is tied to the violent gang in Bardstown and Crystal's father was getting close to finding out so they killed him. The Netherlands murder was apparently a gang initiation but there are things about that case that strike me as way too smart for some dumb thugs to pull off. There was a cell phone jammer placed at the front door to cut off the signal from inside the house. Like what gang gets a hold of a cell phone jammer? They had help. They have a rap song that makes them look like a bunch of idiots. IT'S ALL HIGHLY SUSPECT.
Someone in power needs to help these desperate ladies. Wheres the FBI. They need help!
She would never leave that baby, but her mom thought she was out partying. I don't think those two things match up.
A very big cover up going on
That bulb pop (sign) though.
Your English subtitles are always not in synced... what's the use of them thrn?
He did it! (Don't tell them you're leaving, just get out! Because when you do, they pounce!)
The very moment that light popped she said that he was standing right beside his grandson when it happened. I truly believe in the afterlife, and I also believe he is with her in spirit. I don't think at that time he'd left her in spirit at all. I don't believe he wants to pass over until his daughter is found and or her killer brought to justice. Because if Tommy had see who it was shooting at him, knowing his grandson was right there, he would've shot back for sure! And that's the exact sound that light bulb made when it popped, really loud!
I hope they find Crystal.
nybsbfan18 yeah man, dead or alive.
Me too, though sadly it's clear she is dead, murdered by her boyfriend Brookes Houck. Her family need to give her a proper funeral and hopefully the body will provide clues that will convict her boyfriend for killing her and his brother Nick for helping him to cover up his involvement.
SHE WILL NEVER BE FOUND WE ARE TALKING BEING FAR INTO THE COUNTRY TO MANY PLACES TO HIDE A BODY
I light didnt pop thats the Dads spirit!!!!
I live here... its connected.....
What’s the latest? The remains found don’t belong to Crystal? What about when investigators claimed to find bodily fluids in the back of the brothers squad car on the interior and on a blanket? If that were true then wouldn’t it be enough evidence for an arrest? Or was it a lie trying to get someone to crack?
I feel like Megan is trying to be Oprah
She's still Meghan but I think its what people want its not a bad thing. Great show little more factual harder stuff than Oprah just slightly
She's better than Oprah
This sucks that we don’t get the Oxygen Network here in Canada to watch this! 👎
How is this not solved
Wonder if those keys found in the abandoned car was ever figure printed
They finger Printed them They said there was to much of her dna in them they couldn’t find nothing
Has anyone ever said whether her car had a legitamate flat tire? ( A nail, a blow out, etc.)
Thankfully arrests have been made, i am hoping more will come. That light popped at a very strange time maybe a sign! Made me jump.
So how did Megan know automatically.... that it was a light that had popped...😏 Nobody told her that and she said it within seconds of it happening....?
lol that lightbulb was so scripted...she calmly states " that was a lightbulb popping"
zoriana h I’m suspicious too - but I think it was just a coincidence your forgetting she’s worked on tv for years and she may have been able to see the light pop. These studio style lights have a particularly crackly pop sound :)
Don't think they'd have any reason to do that deliberately. Studio lights can blow occasionally - it was a spooky moment for it to happen. Reckon it was Tommy confirming his death was no accident!
coincedence technical problem right when she mentions her husband getting shot? tf
I think the timing of that light popping✨️was her husband or Crystal letting her & the world know thats exactly how his last moments undolded. I believe in that 💯. That was eerie & confirming for me. Wow 🙏🙌.
where is the bau?
Good morning beautiful people! It's time for us to be rooted and grounded in God's word so that our lives can reflect that of a mature Christian. Do have a spirit filled day! Blessings.“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
1 Corinthians 13:1
I feel Crystal's body was burnt in the farm.
Ok am I the only one when they where talking about the small town and her disappearance I was thinking of riverdale 😂
Pulling a prank of putting the wrong shell in a shotgun for added kick isn't domestic violence. She's reaching...
I watch The disappearance of Crystal Rogers, I must say her daddy missed his calling he should been a policeman, so sad he lost his life for cause , they was scared he would find out who they are. I was born and raised in Kentucky, I must say there lot of secrets there that stay sercets, I gont know if people are scared are what but lot people there want talk. The county I was born and raised in the Sheriff was Killed when i was just a young boys it took like 30 years fo rthe truth about his murder to come out, and it only did then because the guys who did it confessed.
Love you Megyn! Miss you.
My late husband, was a Rogers from Kentucky.
Oh how I remember this.
The husband did this and when the bulb went off that crazy all of this story is suspicious boyfriend did it and got away with it I hope they find her body her alive I think she dead or he has her captive
That light popping was a sign! Tommy was there in spirit. I believe that more than I believe in jesus
IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE AFTERLIFE THEN YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS
Its an expression.
Let me interrupt this with the fact that the man was shot while hunting, meaning he was shooting or in some other way killing animals. So I don't see the issue with him being shot. Come back to reality.
THEY FOUND HER BODY!
@Ms. Snail Gail We all know its her.
Did they find her body or was it never identified? Can’t find any info in the last 6 months.
I am sorry, that light pop was confirmation!!!
WOW THAT MEANT SOMETHING THE LIGHT POPPING! "MY GRANDSON STANDING RIGHT BESIDE HIM." That means something that sentence..... standing or the grandson the position of that shooting.... or her other sentence "we had to do what we had to do." what was that? because I think that means something that's the hot spot! Your husband was onto it!!! he clearly knew something the grandson did not otherwise they both would have been shot. He's telling you with that light globe. Whatever that husband knew was it! not a doubt! did he write anything down? tell the wife who is talking on this show anything of anyone? or simply go back to that sight there is a clue there.
The prime suspect has a brother on the police force? Come on! The Kentucky State Police is inept.
Have there been any more murders since he's been underfire?! If not, then we might have our answer...
Watch the video of the sherriff update
Crystals dad coughs every time tge sherriff says" department, we or sherriffs office"
Three years later another killed by her boyfriend and I am sure there are hundreds more! ☮️ on 🌍
a small town in Kentucky.
