The fact that they were both paroled is disgusting. They showed no mercy, they deserve no mercy.
I agree!!! 15 years to life??? Who decided that and who thought it was a good idea to parole them?? I'm sure there are many non violent offenders who could have been paroled instead. 🤬
@@dbrjejdk3847 It's because they're minors probably.
@@isthattrue1083
It’s because they were women.
If you cannot show mercy to them, how can you judge them for not having mercy on Missy?
And high school like they probably arent even w the guys anymore, either. So stupid and now they get to walk around and live life... Its bulls*it
The killers were paroled after 15 and 16 years (because they were minors at the time of the offense) and even wrote a book and was able to tour the country going to schools to lecture about anti-bullying. I’ve never heard of something so damn ridiculous.
Profiting off their own murder? Sickening, unfortunately it happens all too often
Disgusting, they should be charged with something for benefitting from their crime
Wow are you serious? Unreal and totally disgusting
@@J3diMindTrix Not really. Ever heard of Missy's law?
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 MrBallen in this video should have included that.
A premeditated crime like that deserves life without parole. This one makes me so angry at the justice system
It's cuz they are women...double standards are very real.
Bleeding heart jurors.
like the shanda shera case and the skylar neese case
@steelrarebit7387 what does bleeding heart mean?
@steelrarebit7387 they're overly sympathetic empathetic?if so then what about to the victims?
these girls honestly committed such a sadistic murder and showed absolutely no mercy while doing it.. they did not deserve parole.
They didn’t just kill her, they tortured her and took pleasure in it. Moreover, they emotionally manipulated her for years, and slowly dismantled her life whilst pretending to be her friends. The fact they then toyed with her grieving family afterwards is even more sickening. Utterly vile people.
There will be justice in on judgment day rest easy poor soul GOD IS WITH YOU NOW
Were the parents happy they raised hideous monsters
@@kathypichey4306 it's really sick that they did that. It's so sad. God will destroy the evil that has been done to her. Rip
@@adventureswithjosh1897 yes they won't gave society to back up their evil deeds thanks for responding have a good day
@@kathypichey4306 you too.
The fact that they were paroled truly infuriates me. Karen and Laura should NEVER see the light of day again.
You are so right! Can you imagine if these two girls, now women, become parents? How'd you like to grow up with a mom like that?
@@julieisthatart Hey, at least there's the inevitability that they will find out and will disown them.
I agree fully
They should have had the same thing done to them
Exactly!!!! I'm pissed
this one specifically hurt me really bad. missy genuinely loved her friends and her kindness was used by her “friends.” i cant believe they got parole. im furious
they were minors when they committed the crime. If they were 1 year older they would wouldve been charged as adults would've got life in prison
@milanbaros-gi4pm duh regardless they should have gotten worse as that's what justice truly is but til and if that day comes ofc❤
@@SykeeNot karen should've got life in prison. She went to missy's funeral, then lived with missy's parents and slept in her room to comfort her parents and continue the search with them. That is sadistic af
@@milanbaros-gi4pm truly weird vile mindless behavior.Rip to all lost souls of this case
most of the time the uggo friends in a friend group that are toxic and jealous
This story reminded me of a movie I saw when I was a kid called A Killer Among Friends, and turns out it was based on Missy's story. I remember thinking how can someone's best friends do something so horrific? Even worse that it was true. RIP, Missy.
I loved that movie!
I heard Karen had wrote a book about all this and was trying to sell the movie rights. I really hope that's not this movie. How disgusting to do this then profit from it legally
I saw that movie too lifetime movie used to be so good
I thought that I had seen a movie that sounded like this! Came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned it!
I thought it seemed familiar
How criminals like this, male or female, ever get out of prison is crazy to me. They killed a person in an incredibly personal way. It's insane. They should never get out.
And it was PREMEDITATED!!!
They should have left prison in a pine box!!!
Yeah they should have never got out
It's because they're female
My dad was murdered in a similar way , lured out by two guys he thought were his friends and then proceeded to beat him in the head with a metal chair and then took him out in the creek and drowned him while 5 other people were present but claimed to see nothing happen . I'm in tears watching this story and furious that these two monsters got paroled my dad's killer got 15 years and the accessory got 4 years probation, but died of a heart attack two years later
@@rosannahelton9217 I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 💖
The fact Karen moved into Missy’s family home after her body was found just shows how vile and evil of person she is. So heartbreaking and enraging of a story this was.
I feel like that should’ve had a part in her sentencing. So sadistic.
So disturbing!!!
I am so incensed and furious for now an hour after finishing the video and learning of their paroles. These two women are socio/psychopaths, they intentionally used love as the means to lure someone away to then torture and murder them. They psychologically tortured her for at least a year making up the rumours and pretended to console her to her face. This was something they relished, took pleasure in...but seeing her emotionally distraught just wasn't satisfying enough eventially.
They were able to commit these acts because they have no concept of love and empathy, and they didn't learn to have some in prison, they learned to better hide its absence. They are absolutely a danger to society then and now for as long as they have the time and opportunity to commit violence in secret.
Also remember that the whole thing about them being angry with missy (and each other) was all a long con ruse. Pretending to have a falling out and acting as if you believed a rumour that you yourself made up, putting on high intensity fake emoitonal outbursts that lasts for 45+ min of fake arguing that seems so real and genuine to someone who was close to you for a decade simply as a distraction or theatre as you both build up to your sick twist. Eva wasn't present for the final hour of torture in the river, but I have a very distinct feeling that at some point before they pushed her face into the water for the final time, that they revealed to her that they never believed the rumours at all and in fact they started them in the first place. Just to see the horrific realization on her face that she isn't about to die due to a misunderstanding at all...but because they just wanted to kill her. Her two best friends, because she loved them - and they viewed that as a weakness to exploit.
I fear for any children either of those women have had or might have.
Yes, it is a very disturbing and sickening story. They should have gotten life without parole. They destroyed so many lives, including their own families. Heartbreaking.
Literally psychopathic like there’s something genuinely wrong with her. And she just gets to walk around all hunky dory? I’ve seen boys younger than them do way less & not premeditated & get life.
Thanks for sharing their photos.Everyone should know who those monsters are and what they’ve done.
Sure would be a shame if they met the same fate as Missy, all these years later… 😈
@@juliewolfe I understand your anger, but don't think the same horrible things as those girls, even if it is "just a joke" because this case is extremely tragic and sickening.
I once heard someone say. Your biggest fan is a stranger and your biggest enemy is your friend. This hits deep now
This is one of the worst stories I’ve ever heard about high school jealousy. It’s so hard to make teenagers understand once you’re out of HS none of these rumors or arguments matter.
Watch the film Bully (2001).
@@BalboaBaggins yeah bro but that's different tho in a way.
They made up the rumors themselves because of jealousy and hatred, so other people would hate her and beat her up.
@@rjwinslo4650 It's pure evil.
Facts!!
The photo of Laura smiling as an adult makes me sick. RIP Missy ❤

yep there is no real justice except street justice
Thanks for the spoiler.
@@DracoPadilla you're the one that went into the comments before finishing the video
@@chernobyl9070 fr
This reminds me of Skylar Neese in a lot of ways, the trap in the woods, 2 friends betraying the third, the incredibly brutal murder, everything
My daughter had a bully like this in elementary school. Thank god nothing this horrible happened
That's why you should enroll you kids into Martial Arts. You never know when they going to need it
@@juniorr2646 my son broke his arm in taikwando :(
@@juniorr2646my parents tried lol. I just tried everything to get out of the class because it was way too boring and child me was too innocent to realize their intent.
To be fair, that school had us practice the _same_ exact move every class (1 and a half hour, twice a week) for three months straight. Like seriously, that program was dogshit. If you want to drill in the same move into your students, at least mix up your teaching schedule from time to time so it’s not overly repetitive
Also, we had made a deal and they broke their side of the deal
If I was in gymnastics, I’ll stay in the martial arts program. Unfortunately they were too broke to afford me doing both (7 year old me didn’t know, and possibly wouldn’t even care if I had because no child really understands money. All I knew is that they broke their side of the deal) so they took me out of gymnastics. So naturally I rebelled because our deal was broken. Now I’m a young adult who only took half a year of Martial Arts when I was more than half my age and I barely remember a thing🥲
Hopefully it doesn’t bite me in the butt later
The part I found most disgusting about this murder was the fact both killers proceeded to manipulate a grieving family into thinking they were still her old friends.
Yep! That has got to just haunt this poor family every day of their lives. Not only the thoughts of their daughter being tortured and murdered by someone, but then the horrible thoughts of realizing that the years you were wondering who did this to her, that you were actually housing one of them while they were enjoying the privileges of using her bedroom and sleeping in her bed. SO SO Twisted! Just can't see how any judge or jury could have knowledge of this and not make sure those two never saw the outside of a jail cell again.
I hope both of there life's are fucked up. And if you know where they live I would love to know. Please and thank you.
Someone please tell me where Karen and Laura live I want to say hi😇👿👿👿👿👿👿😈👿👿😈👿😈👿💥💥💥💥🔥
Born Narcissists
most disgusting thing is they are out on the street
When Karen tried to profit off of her crime by writing a book, Missy's family found out and died her. She didn't get to make a dime from it, and "Missy's Law" was created to prevent anyone that tries to profit from their victim's death from making money from it in any way without getting the permission of their victim's family first. Small comfort.
Died her ? English ?
@@angrydiver_4220 denied
tbh I'd like to read that. it'd be interesting to know what went on inside her head. although it's probably just filled with narcissism. I'd never pay for it of course. I'd pirate it. that bitch doesn't even deserve my pocket lint as profit after what she did.
It's SUED her
Very interesting piece of info. This heartless person tries to victimize the family again and profit from her crime. Disgusting!
I did not have a positive experience with Better Help. My therapist literally ghosted me and stopped responding. I switched to another therapist that just seemed disinterested and like he wasn’t paying attention.
Karen and Laura should still be behind bars, period.
Never trust any product that is promoted by big channels or names or promoted period , no dissrespect to Mr Ballen he just do bussines , but ussualy whats promoted is not quality
Thank you for advocating for mental health. As a male and a veteran your demographic needs more of this ❤
The saddest part of this story is that their plan hinged on Missy wanting to make up with her friends. Missy was killed because she was kindhearted. It's so sad that there are people evil enough to take advantage of a kind soul like that
That’s what got me too 😢😢😢
No she was killed bc she was pretty
I think Missy was manipulative too, who would trust the guys in the blue Camaro??
@@princess1peach She was TARGETED because she was pretty. She was KILLED because she trusted them, and wanted to be their friends, so she went along with them.
After they "doubted" her, in the first place, KNOWING what had happened to her the year before, she should have responded to their accusations with, "I can't believe you would accuse me like that, KNOWING that I was innocent when this same thing happened before, and KNOWING how I was tortured because of it. The fact that you would accuse me now means that I cannot trust you, anymore. We are no longer friends. Get out of my house and get out of my life."
Of course, they might still have murdered her, but they'd have to try a whole different method.
@@GardenGuy1943 What are you talking about? There WERE no guys in the blue Camaro. Missy NEVER SAID ANYTHING about guys in a blue Camaro.
And even if there were guys in a blue Camaro, how is trusting them and wanting to say hello to people she thought she knew manipulative?
I'm sure Missy had her flaws, but that wasn't among them.
The fact that she was actually completely innocent is just insane. THEY started both rumors and killed her over jealousy. They were extremely brutal and now they’re just out in the world. Jesus Christ.
Scam ^^^^
High school girls are an actual nightmare when youre a high school girl. Middle school is even worse. They can be brutal and relentless because theyre insecure. Some of them hurt themselves inward, but others blame everyone else, specifically honing in on one girl. One girl who has her own insecurities no matter how pretty or perfect others see her to be. Bullies and narcissists can get fucked, there should be no empathy for them.
I feel like it would make more sense to be mad at your bf yk
@@Baldjotarokujo exactly but I feel like she never even flirted with their boyfriends either. It was all lies.
@@lioleigh9791 precisely ! Literal devils
"Missy was not a vain person, but she loved her hair" made me tear up. I love how you talk about the victims. You are the only true crime I still watch
This makes me so sad. The way that they were best friends, got jealous of her looks, and decided to kill her. This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard of about friends turning on each other.
This was definitely premeditated. The fact that they faked having an argument just to isolate their prey. They are monsters.
Well duh.
The jurors believed that it wasn't a premeditated crime ! Can you believe that ....that's why those two were let free after 22 years.
And Karen tried getting a book and movie out to re-tell the story... Lied through her teeth on Dr. Phil; which clearly showed that she lacked remorse.
Pathetic.
on god?
@@MrSoorajsurya that's why I don't trust a jury. Let the judge decide. The judge is more impartial and he or she knows what premeditated means. I think if you let the judge decide your case instead of a jury, you have a way better chance if you're innocent. Juries can be swayed, but they're emotional too, so that's like flipping a coin
@@GTSN38 if you've ever served on a jury, you know. both the prosecutor and defense want who they perceive to be easily swayed.
That was clearly premeditated first degree murder. How did they just get 15 years and are now paroled? This was, by all accounts, sheer evil.
Hunny .. It's called female privilege and it's more rampant in the legal system than ever before
Because they're girls and girls always get lighter sentences.
Because women get lighter sentences for the same crimes as men.
I'm also repulsed by the sentences they received! This was the textbook definition of 1st degree! The degree of betrayal in this case, IMO, makes it a capital sentence case!!!
@@fishbear2961 I would somewhat agree, only due to the time period this took place. We've come a long way in accepting that girls can be equally as devious and vile as men!
How could they have been paroled after such a short period? 😡 What's wrong with our criminal justice system? It's disgusting.
The level of betrayal is what makes this one so incredibly disgusting.
This story really heats up my blood. The one that is worse is they got 15 years in jail for planning a brutal murder and showing no remorse. This sentence was way to light.
Esp for first degree murder!
I hate to say this but Privilege probably plays a huge role in them being paroled. It's disgusting.
It takes a mind that can NOT be fixed to plan this out and follow through with it. They both should have gotten life in prison period no ifs and or butts !!! The scary thing is they are out there in the world making friends that know nothing about their past. What happens when one of their new friends pisses them off ?! There are people that sold POT that got more time than that !
Because they are women they get light sentences
They are women
Karen severson now has a book published about how she is somehow a victim of murdering her own friend..? And she claims she wants to stop bullying, she served 24 years and is walking a free woman profiting off her murder, truly one of the most deplorable human beings on the planet
she better be sending the profits to the family of the deceased, life is a sad thing 😭😪😒
@@keikei1943 I think the family did end up suing, not sure of the outcome though.
@@4032111 hopefully sued into the earths core
Karen was also on Dr. Phil.
Living up to her name, I see.
Being a teenager is hard, but those were truly monstrous, unjustifiable actions
The sheer disrespect towards Missy's grieving family leaves me speechless.
Is this the most premeditated murder ever? They staged a fight between themselves, they planned where to kill her, they tortured and humiliated her, then let her die in probably one of the worst ways I've heard of and finally engaged in activity explicitly to cover up their crime and prevent justice from being done. There is no way they should have been paroled.
It gets worse, one of them wrote a book to profit off the murder and went on tv
What a trash humans 😠😡 disgusting!!
@@huginug That's awful.
Welcome to the "Patriarchy" - where women are constantly "oppressed". Monk mode for life.
It’s not one of the worst ways…
this one enrages me more than almost any other. Karen especially deserves SO much worse than what she got. the sheer amount of psychological torture she was enacting on Missy's family by MOVING in with them, sleeping in her bed, pretending to comfort her family, its beyond sick. She spent years doing this and gets 15 years? Are you kidding me? I really hope fate catches up with her and she has to pay for the damage she's caused.
She served 23 but that’s nowhere near enough. She wrote 2 books which Missy’s family got a law passed stopping it. Karen did dr Phil interview. Shavaun Avillia has a UA-cam channel and a documentary in the works
Wow this is disgusting. . . unbelievable. . .like wtf. It's vile what they did.
women get off so easily. shes literally a psychopath and gets 15 or 23. I know people who got worse than that because they had drugs. Our judicial system is so corrupt and broken
me too the smirks on both Laura and Karen's faces really says it all. sick vile jealous women. and depraved to move in w her family 😔
There's another one on the podcast where a girl was murdered by their supposed best friends
This story is a real heart-pounder.
This is sadistic !! there is absolutely no reason why either of these monsters should have received Parole
One of my best friends is currently serving more time in prison than these two wicked women eventually did. He was sentenced for knowing about a robbery that he didn't participate in. Our justice system is a wreck
If that’s true I’m sorry this had to happen to him
statistically women get lesser sentences than men. The fact these ladies got paroled is quite disturbing considering the facts. IMO they should have gotten fried for pre mediated murder but 🤷♂
@@youmang where are these statistics from??
Especially in California.
@@theabilitytolikepans1747 the Bureau of Justice Statistics. It also falls under "common knowledge."
It's extremely infuriating to picture this young girl experiencing this kind of brutality with no help in sight. There's no way these 2 should have ever been let out!
eva was there, she is just as bad because she never spoke up and told police.
@@natalieslade7448 She did tell police?
@Skagenpige88 Yeah, 3 years later after one of them lived comfortably in that poor kid's grieving family's home. How do you not speak up immediately after finding out that a cold blooded killer is sleeping in their own victim's bed?
In my opinion, Eva is *almost* as bad as the other two. The only reason why I'm not fully blaming her is because she's literally the only one who was able to solve the case & provide closure to the family. But 3 years is a long time.
Her karma? Watching over her own back every single day for the rest of her life knowing two monsters you put in a cage are finally free. Once a killer, always a killer.
@@Juan_of_a_kind While I agree that is horrible, all that would have resulted in is that they would be out 3 years sooner by now....And if we want to punish someone for coming with the information after 3 years we discourage others from doing the same which is not worth it. I probably wouldent have waited 3 years but I find it reasonable that she wanted to be sure she were safe before going to the police...americas bail system let people come out to kill people like Eva all the time. They just have to pay 10% of it becouse of bondsmen as well!
@@skagenpige88 "While I agree that it's horrible, all that would have resulted in is that they would be out 3 years sooner by now"
^^ Not necessarily true. They were charged with second degree murder 3 years later because the jury wasn't convinced it was premeditated. Now imagine if Eva told police immediately? We'd have a fresh story with different jury members & quite possibly a harsher conviction. And that's not even the biggest takeaway.
By Eva not speaking up, Karen moving into Missy's home is huge! Every night Missy's family went to bed, they were vulnerable & helpless. All it would have taken was for Karen to snap or create another devious plan with Laura to kill the family, Eva, the boyfriends, or even new popular girls in school. Knowing as teens that they just got away with murder, them being dumb enough to do it again wouldn't come as a surprise.
Thankfully it never happened because we all know the results, but imagine every single moment for each passing day & night that they were free, a lot could have happened. Eva was just extremely lucky everything went the way it did on her part. Especially being the only witness to this tragic incident.
It boggles my mind that you can look at a friend, someone you've known and loved for years and be like "I want to kill this person now because I'm jealous of her life." The fact that they KNEW Missy was a nice enough person that she would want them to be friends again and still decided to go through with it is disgusting.
My first thought when I hear stories like this is how can anyone have so much anger/hatred against another?!
No matter what they did to her, she’s ALWAYS going to be more beautiful than them, through and through. Jealousy and hatred are ugly and what those two girls did was so brutal and horrible…
This is terrible the trash kids killed her.
True
Oh they were ugly alright, their jealousy was very understandable, i wouldnt touch them with a 10 foot pole. They deserved to je born into an ugly body
True beauty always comes from the inside, the heart of the person. I've known people that looked pretty on the outside but on the inside were ogres and those that were average that were truly beautiful.
@@Datrebor I always say beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.
I kept thinking "how can her friends believe those rumors when they know it was a lie in the past?!".... but finding out that they STARTED the initial rumors was such a gut punch of sadness. Poor Missy.
Right! That just broke me, smh. I think it shows the extent of the light which shone in Missy. Like, she must have had so much love in her to be able to love & forgive two nasty horrible girls so filled with hate.
Just a bad case of two girls insecure about their looks taking it out on someone they perceive as prettier than them.
Same here! And then I read that her one murderer, Karen, still tried to blame it mostly on Missy years later. After she got out of prison, Karen said that yes, she was jealous of Missy. But then she claimed that she felt Missy wrongfully “abandoned” her when Karen got pregnant as a teenager and gave birth, “even though [she] tried to protect” Missy from bullies. Seriously?!?! Now we know that it was Karen herself, with the assistance of Laura, who spread the rumors she got bullied for in the first place! And after her release, Karen tried to profit off of a BOOK she wrote about murdering Missy, while claiming she was a “changed person…an adult” now. To the point where Missy’s family had to help enact Missy’s Law in California, to help families of victims know if murderers try to profit off of their victims. Both of those creatures should have spent the rest of their miserable lives in prison.
@@JP-rx2zu Prison is a waste for these 2, they deserve to be in a hold.
it's also sad if the 2 girls had a lower than average Iq because if their IQ were high enough someone or even missy could've persuaded them to not kill and as well if they were not prone to jealousy.
This case is just heartbreaking 💔 I feel awful for missy, that poor girl
The fact that these 2 evil souls are walking around free somewhere, is disturbing. Not many true crime cases get to me this much. My kids were born between 80 and 84, im just slightly older than these evil women, and i think of how much has happened in our lives since 2011, and these evil women have been free since then. They dont deserve to be living after what they did to that poor girl, let alone live outside of prison. So they got what 25 yrs for brutally murdering Missy? Wtf??
Imagine being so insecure in yourself that you kill someone who cared for you….people are disgusting.
Right?! 😢
Evil is what they practise.
Yeah , people do way worse than this. This is kindergarten bs to a lot of crimes nowadays.
Suddenly Day of judgment is making alot of sense to some ppl. Justice is what they deserve
Best friend of a decade! They probably didn't even marry these boyfriends......
Missy’s only crime was being a loyal, loving friend to a couple of homely, jealous girls. What a heartbreaking story. Her own friends murdered her because they were jealous that she got more attention than they did. They should have remained locked up for the rest of their natural lives.
I agree, they really should've locked them two up and just thrown away the keys!! I believe when they murdered someone, then had that extra layer of evil of actually moving into Missy's house for Christ sake, they shouldn't be allowed to rejoin society and live their lives while they took that away from Missy, eye for an eye!!
Natural lives? As opposed to unnatural? Lolol. But yeah those females should be in prison for fuckin ever
No, we should NOT have to pay for them any farther than a rope & a short drop!
Eva was likely the one spreading the rumors.
It's not uncommon for teenage girls to feed off eachother's insecurities and perpetuate it against a totally innocent person. And it's not the first time two friends have encouraged eachother so much that they actually harm or even murder a third friend. Two similar minds snowball to the point of actual insanity, and then you get cases like the Slenderman girls.
How anyone could commit such a barbaric crime is so awful
I feel so bad for Missy and her family
I read a book about this when i was 13. It was titled "Missy's Murder" I thought it was just a book until today. Im 31 years old now. This is a major mind fuck realizing its a true strory.🥺...
they spread rumors about her, got her beat up and killed her because SHE ABSOLUTELY IS PRETTIER, imagine being that shallow and sociopathic. they cant kill all of us for commenting the truth
Will they kill again?
@@azaleablue2261 Probably. I don’t think that amount of malice and selfishness just disappears after serving a prison sentence that is so much shorter than it deserves to be.
Wait until you hear Karen has made money out of killing her by selling her story and made a deal about having a movie produced - I'd assume making herself out to be the victim...
I hate the cliche that "good looking people have amn easier life." They're often targeted by evil people because of their beauty
Missy was pretty average if not ugly. The world is a strange place.
I’m beyond shocked that these monsters didn’t get life without the chance of parole. That’s beyond disgusting
If a male did this he would've definitely gotten life in prison without parol
Agreed.
The government would rather have them as taxpayers unfortunately.
@@KAT-hs3xhhopefully, they should have gave these two chicks the chair and left it on medium for about a couple of hours or so. They calculated their attack and obstruction after to a point of unspeakable evil

I just wsnt to say, the passion in the speaking and the very personal feel of it really is captivating. I feel like he is telling me a story that he lived and it brings a sense of humanity to the dead that often just gets lost
This story will forever be the worst. As vile as they were, I’m more irritated that Eva did NOTHING. I don’t know what she would do and I get she was scared and this was WOW, but how dare you just stand there?! Rest in peace, Missy.
Want to hear something disturbing about Karen? She has continuously changed her profile picture on social media to photos of streams and rivers. The fact she drowned Missy in a stream but now uses pictures of streams to represent herself is extremely weird.
Her current cover photo is a stream with a log across it. I'm sorry but I think this woman is psychotic.

Looking at the articles in the description, I'm beyond disgusted that they were not only paroled, but went on to write TWO BOOKS and tried to profit off of Missy's death. They're the lowest of the low and you can tell they feel no remorse for their actions. I wish Missy's family peace and justice, its so sad that they have to live this nightmare.
@@Die-Angst
Amen to that 🙏
Female privilege.
The family should sue them over them books
Looks like at least 1 of the books didn't. Due to public backlash, the distributor reset the price to $0, saying the point of the book was anti-bullying, so profit isn't the goal (to Karen Severson's protest of course).
@@Die-Angst that's little consolation since there's no evidence for that.
Imagine killing your best friend over a guy 😢 I can't believe how the family didn't moved and changed her to another school, knowing how bad what she lived was. She was in danger and danger did came
A quite similar crime happened in Germany in 2023: Two teenage girls (12 and 13) led their friend into the woods and stabbed her. They tried to hide their crime by calling the parents of the killed girl and asked, if the victim is already home to "make sure" she´s alright. As the both girls confessed their crime to the police while interrogations, they still were set free as in Germany a crime under the age of 14 is not punished by law.
Why are teens always let off so easy?!
Wow... This one really got to me. They decided to kill their childhood best friend because she was more popular than them... Spread lies, tortured and murdered her. This one was absolutely wild
Yeah its disgusting but probably happens more than it should , not the killing part although their is a story similar to this that MRBALLEN told. Just involved like 3 girls betraying the 4th girl all friends. Idk why they act like that just cause of looks its so vain. If you dont like your body then work on how to get your perferred body, working out and exercising. This tragedy never should have happend.
It's a woman thing.
yea
This is not the first case of childhood friends kill, there is another case where they drove 45 min too and take her friend and stabbed. When remember the name I will post it so can search it was in the 90's is very sad.
@@X._HATRED_.X I find it sad when people find an excuse to put the other gender down. This is not "a woman thing"
Karen Severson wrote a book about the murder and blamed Missy. She said Missy knew the rumors were true and never said sorry about it. She's an awful person who never should have been let free.
I was looking for someone who mentioned this. I will never give her money nor my time in reading that crap. I can't believe she justified her actions even though she and Laura spread the rumors. I bet they're friends today.
Karen just pure evil.. because even though Missy did just as rumors, she doesn't have the rights to do what she did to Missy.. RIP Missy. Those fake friends really sickening.
Yeah usually you just cut people out of your life at that point; the cheating boyfriend and the unloyal friend. That means you just let them be and let them continue with their life without your presence. There is no justification for what they did, none at all. Her way of thinking shows just how immature and quite frankly, stupid she is.
I don't care if Missy slept with the entire school. It still wouldnt be a reason to torture and kill missy. Karen and Laura were beyond evil for what they have done.i hope karma catches up with them and they live a miserable life.
@@nq6508 Right?! Relationships come and go. People can't get their lives back.
Wow. This was a rough one. What a dumb move having a 3rd girl as a witness. Such stupidity for them. But thank God for her that the truth came out
HOLY MOLY these two creatures are roaming about in society now? Highschool in the 80's was horrific. Kids now cry about words. Back in the day we were lucky to survive a day at school. RIP Misty.
I dont know which one is more disturbing, the fact that they did all this to their 'best friend' or the fact that they're currently free.
KAREN SEVERSON Published a book which says "She knew she slept with our boyfriends & never once apologized." STILL BLAMING THE VICTIM she murdered. She learned nothing from her prison time
.
Someone needs to terminate them
Or the fact they stayed at Her family’s house and slept in her bed and watched her parents mourn her loss 😢
This isn't a shocking since it happen in Ca, that state supports criminals, that's why everyone is leaving that awful state.
@PainPillzPittBullz&Pistolz yup, and they don't whine that it's "racism" every time it happens.
The photos at the end of them two vile women in their early thirties, while Missy will be forever seventeen, really drives home the unjustness of the sentences served.
Yes
Yeah I hope they both rot in hell
Go fix it
funny how theyre in their early thirties but look at least 50 lol
She’ll always be more pretty than them, all the way until they rot in hell :)
Those women should still be rotting in prison... Eva is surely eternally ashamed for standing there watching an unfair fight escalate to the point that she really couldn't do anything. .. I could never stand around and watch that and I'm the one that's 4 ft 10 and 100 lbs. Poor girl😢❤
I absolutely despise bullies like this, AND these two aren’t even considered bullies at this point cause what they did was so premeditated so cruel in the ways they acted in trying to keep this covered up. In short terms these two are nothing less then sadistic ruthless killers… and in mine plus many others opinions so clearly stated here they should have MOST DEFINITELY did life without parole. RIP Missi you were so beautiful and so young at life that it didn’t even actually start yet, may what ever powers above keeps your soul full of light. ❤❤❤
Karen's book that she wrote became free after the publisher stated they didn't want to help give Karen profit from the murder. Missy's family also got a bill called Missy's Law signed saying that in the State of California, requiring entities who are helping publish works made by criminals have to contact the families of the victims about the said works.
wonder what the contents of the book even are
Wow disgusting that someone would try to profit from a murder they committed 🙄 should get life for just the effort
Wow. She even wrote a book
Love this
@@palpal8058 If ever a bunch of books should be burned it should be every copy of that book that was printed
The part where they cut and rip out her hair because they knew how much it meant to her...wow. they beat, tortured and humiliated her. They deserve to rot. This case made me so emotional. I can't wrap my mind around how people could be so evil. RIP Missy
@@baneverything5580 why America specifically? You do realize crazy people come from all over the world right? And most is a stretch.
It proves how jealous and envious they were. It's so unbelievably disgusting to me that people like this get to come home and live life while their victim had their taken from them. The pictures of them at the end made me furious! They are still young and able to live life, marry, have children.
@@baneverything5580 I don't know about "American" females specifically as I have never been anywhere Else....but I agree that A Lot of females are like this. It's really sad and we as women need to combat this petty behavior and show that we can rise above it. R.I.P Missy

Wasn't this premeditated?? Why did they get out on parole?! THAT'S NOT JUSTICE! This story infuriates me! I was yelling at my TV while listening to this story. Idk why, but this particular story angers me to no end. So much so that my chest literally hurts rn. Just.. WTF?! What insecure, petty, fake, pathetic, and evil girls/women. They don't deserve to go on with their lives like nothing happened. That's not justice!😤🤬
I seriously need a drink, or an edible, or something after hearing this awful story.
RIP to Missy, btw. She seemed like a good person and a genuine friend.❤
If ever the two of them had families and children, i hope that any of them could watch this to know how despicable these two are.
I will never understand why people get so upset at their friends when they supposedly sleep with their significant other, and never lash out at the significant other.
Isnt that true!?
Well it was all made up. I don’t get why they had to make it up about themselves tho. I mean it literally doesn’t make sense besides just to break up as friends.
Yea it was made up because they were jealous
Ehh, it's common amongst teenagers, they're Naive and short sighted 😑 - 1 possible reason(?)
That's a really good point
I can’t believe they actually get to live free after taking Missy’s life. Yes they did 15 yrs but that’s not enough for murder in my eyes. Life in prison should have been the sentence. Tragic!
And now they are authors pretending like nothing happened
Fact's
@@yeagerist2912 Authors?
I think after prison they should have to be an unpaid servant for the family for the rest of their natural life,ie:paroled at like age 65 so their old age is not a burden on the family
@@mariagabrielle6383 I believe the authors of the crime
Eva is just as bad as the other two for not doing anything. I was literally cringing just hearing it, imagine being there and just being like whatever. That's approval.
That’s so evil to have a killer live with the victims family sleeping in the same bed as the victims and to be able to keep your composure is so evil.
The fact that Karen had the audacity to put it lightly to live with Missy's family until she was found responsible for her death should have been enough to put her away for life without parole. How heinous do you have to be before Justice is truly served and the punishment fits the crime? The fact that she and Laura were both paroled is a travesty of Justice for Missy and her family.
Psychopathic behaviour by Karen
women seem to always get special treatment when it comes to murder convictions.
@@edinsoncavanirespector9078 Most likely the result of a truly horrific upbringing. Peaceful parenting is the only solution going forward. Most psychopaths are made, not born.

I don't know what else to say. This is so terrible. Thank you for the video, Mr. Ballen.
A killer-Karen, worst of the worse of Karens.🤮
This is disgusting. Can't imagine how terrifying it must have been for Missy to find out that two of her "best friends" wanted to kill her for no reason and then trying to fight them off.
Sickening that they let two murderers out who killed with such pre meditation.
Female privilege.
Truth... I feel for that poor girl and her family.
Those monsters NEVER should get parole. Ever. It's not right.
If anything,THEY should get the death penalty.

@@rebeccahherdener2068 I'd gladly be an accessory. I'll grab the shovel.
The fact they have both been paroled is absolutely appalling
The two vile monsters who commited this murder were SOMEHOW only given a 2nd degree murder sentence as the jury were not convinced that the murder was planned, which in my opinion is utterly insane!
Karen after being released from prison after a measly 22 years then began promoting her memoires about the murder and her life in prison and even attempted to secure a movie deal about the case. Missy's family sued her and Missy's Law was made which forces any production company to consult the family of the victim before going ahead with any production.
This goes to show that Karen was the most vile person, not only in appearance but rotten to the core. She attempted to profit from the murder she had created, effectively mocking the victim and her family. She should have never been set free.
I don’t think any story you’ve told has ever made me more upset, sad, and angry as this one. The fact that they are free makes my blood boil. They killed her in cold blood
They killed her because of jealousy. Period end of story. Jealousy is a sickness.
They killed her because they wanted to. Missy couldn’t have been at fault because they literally made everything up out of jealousy to kill her.
If you havent already, try "This shopper got caught doing" (Daniel in Nevada) and "This man's secret shocked the world" and "Circus Act". These 3 and Missy's story have enraged me the most from MrBallen's stories
@@fridagylterud9491yes, they were all close friends growing up but by the time they got to high school Michelle (Missy) made new friends and they started hanging out less. Karen actually got pregnant and was a single mom do she couldn’t hang out as much anymore. She actually started dating one of Missy’s ex boyfriends but he still had a Thing for her and Karen knew it and was insecure and jealous that Missy got so much attention from guys. It’s funny how Karen decades later put the blame on Laura for the murder and she was just a bystander that felt compelled to help Laura hide Missy’s body after she died. I wasn’t there and I didn’t really know these girls except seeing them at Magic Mountain on occasion but she’s full of *hit! The both beat this girl into almost unconsciousness and then put that heavy log on her head together to drown her! They tagged teamed her and left her for dead. They were both petty nasty jealous insecure girls that believed by killing Missy all their insecurities and troubles would be gone! How delusional and evil. I know it’s been decades now my but my heart goes out to Missy’s family. I want to feel bad for Karen and Laura’s family too but it seems they haven’t learned a damn thing spending there prime life in prison. Karen lying about what happen speaks volumes about what kind of person she is and was. She blamed a girl that was once her best friend for her f**ked up life. I mean Karen is the one that slept with some random guy and got pregnant at 15 who wanted nothing to do with her afterwards. As teens we all had some issues or insecurities in one way or another but we don’t go murdering someone we think is prettier thinner funnier! That is a whole new level of crae crae evil
I’d help get rid of em
I'm not a fan of sending hate mail, but knowing the fact that they're out there and so have a postal address sure as hell makes me want to
Honestly me too! Ngl
What’s their addresses!?
Oh definitely....my mind goes to uglier thoughts. But if I acted on those I would be no better than these evil bitches.
yup
Same!!
This hits harder because of the humiliation she had to suffer in the hands of those she trusted to be her friends.
She's so beautiful, that's insane. I keep getting reminded about therapy that's what I need and I am making an appointment finally. Nothing may be wrong with us sometimes and that's why it is tough to put up with others, regardless, help is needed.
The scariest part is, that they had so many chances to stop while killing Missy. It's not like they shot her in the head and there was no turning back. They beat her up, tied her hands behind her back and then drowned her and saw her fight for her life. Imagine holding your "Best friend's" head under water and see how she fights for her life. You have to be an absolute monster if you can watch someone fight for their life and still don't consider to stop your action. Even if you are full of hate for the person you are drowning, at some point in a normal mind you would realize what you are doing and you would stop. Killing someone with a gun takes 1-2 seconds and I understand that maybe then you could say that you didn't really want to do it but the anger took over and it happened so fast. But what these two monsters did to Missy is one of the most brutal and horrifying things I've ever heard. It was planned way ahead with the fake fight between Laura and Karen. They even had these things with them to tie Missys hands. It was a pure evil plan, that was executed exactly how it was planned weeks before! No mercy for monsters like this, I hope they will burn in hell!! RIP Missy
The freaking throw a 100lb log on her head…
Exactly, there was so many times they could have stopped this. Watching your friend slowly die is horrendous. I remember seeing this in a film and was like wow they did this to their friend. Sick, disgusting and they deserve to pay for this for the rest of their pathetic lives. RIP Missy 🙏
does anybody have their general location?
@@toastiestmoth927 it's not hard to find, why?
Wow well said, I 100% agree. Some people are like " oh that's horrible" but no it's EVIL and was absolute TORTURE and were so cruel as to carry this plan out. Doesn't feel like words describe the agony this innocent girl went through. They had every chance in the world to stop. Sends shivers down mh spine.
Not only were their sentences unbelievably lenient, the fact that Karen Severson wrote a memoir titled 'my life, I lived it' which covered the murder, went on Dr. Phil to promote her story and moved in with the family after she murdered missy just shows how messed up both Karen and the justice system are.
She prob got off lightly because of their age but to me they should never be allowed out ever 😢
Shame on Dr. Phil for Letting her promote her book!!!!
@@perfectlyimperfect628Dr. Phil does so many shameful dumb things, I don't know how he even has a following.
@@fruitygranulizer540 Sooo Very True!!!! SMH
The lady told a different story on Dr. Phil. She pretty much blames the entire murder on Laura and claims Missy was cussing at them the entire time. SMH
Even if Ava finally confessed to the police, she is also guilty of allowing this to happen. She may not have known what they were up to, but she just stayed back and did nothing while watching it happen. Doing nothing is the same as abetting them.
15 years are you kidding m3! What they did was beyond horrifying!! They're free and continued living like NOTHING HAPPENED! meanwhile missy never got to live her life that poor girl didn't deserve this monsters, i cannot imagine what it felt like getting torture, beaten and killed by the people you trust and supposed to be your friends from childhood! RIP MISSY , BEAUTIFUL SOUL.
As a parent NOTHING could stop me from getting justice for my child even if I have to serve it myself.
If a monster took everything from me, I'm taking everything from them
Dito
In cases like this where it's crystal clear they should just be taken to the crime scene and put through the the same ordeal by a death squad. Same with any premeditated murder. Only if it's crystal clear they are guilty of the murder.

Yep me too. The murderers deserve death not parole
The amount of premeditation that went into it is enough for me to believe they should have never been paroled. I wish them all the worst in life.
Yes and also the fact that if that witness girl wasn't there or stayed silent they would have never known the truth 🥺 I fear for my children.
the way you tell stories is so captivating
5 days after finding your channel ive just been watching every episode i can. Excellent story telling
With friends like these, who needs enemies? One of the most heartbreaking stories on this channel. My heart goes out to Missy.
Some times your “friends” are your biggest enemies
Yeah it’s crazy missy didn’t have a chance
Women love drama
And one of them had to have the name "Karen" or similar sounding name
It's not good to break your heart🤣 mr ballen will feel sorry for that instance.
the more i listen to these stories, the more i realize that not having friends in school and not hanging out with anyone outside of school was actually a blessing
Yea I don't have lots of friends I talk to ppl yes but I would never get in a car with them or hangout because you never know but u should always bring your best best friend in the whole wide world that u trust to go with you
Man both of you guys are miserable lol
Dude same
It's the most "straight-to-the-marrow''-ing example of society and human nature's darkest decline towards the practically-unfathomable depths of evil and cruelty, that I've ever tried to rap my head around. That's for sure. If this isn't the type thing that your nightmares now, from this day forward, get, (at very least), greatly influenced by, then your sub-conscience must be completely absent, (Much like in the case of these two girls!); or just simply ''out to lunch''.
Lmao, I guess
Why would anyone parole these two monsters??? Literally what could be worse than this crime?
Of all your videos, this particular one disturbed me the most. Evil comes in many forms...even teenaged girls
*especially
The act of moving into her family’s home to keep tabs on the investigation shows how cold and calculated they are. They don’t deserve parole because they thoroughly lack any form of empathy. It’s unbelievable! How do you watch the family grieve EVERYDAY for god knows how long and continue to live with yourself? Truly sickening!
Just thank God they aren't the majority...can you imagine?
The most evil and sadistic part of all this is living with missys family
and sharing in the family's grief. That woman's callous nature is
truly sickening, there isn't words to describe how depraved she really is.
THEY DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE AFTER WHAT THEY DID TO MISSY
@@fredzep01 And she will probably become a mother and the cycle will continue.
Creatures like this are the norm at the top. SRA victims can attest to that.
I can’t imagine being Missy’s father and finding out her killer was living with me the whole time. At that point I would make it my mission in life to avenge Missy no matter what.
Revenge would have been my only justice
They deserve to be tortured and die a slow painful death for what they did
I'd be waiting for this inhuman to be released from prison. Her suffering would know no bounds.
yeah, the parents were probably dead, that's why no one was around to object to the parole.
As a parent it would be hard not to take the law into my own hands. Her killer trying to replace Missy in her parents house adds insult to injury. I think I'd end up in prison after finding that out coz I make them experience exactly wot they did to my child.
So many twits and turns in this story and the final reveal is epic. Missy is a life lesson to watch who you think your friends are
I love your stories, and I catch myself rewatching them over and over again. Today I saw this video, and usually any other video I’d click on it, but I got a sense of dread seeing this video again and I even looked at the floor, sighed and shook my head, just thinking about it. Since I started watching your videos, this is the only one I haven’t watched more then once. There’s just something about it that makes me not want to watch it. My dad believes it’s all the anger I feel when I think about it. (He is also a huge fan of your channel and even listens to your podcasts)
The fact that they're both out on parole, able to enjoy their freedom and their lives after they so brutally took the life of someone they should have loved.
The biggest surprise to me today in 2022 is that Eva (Ava? I don't think we were told how she spelled her name) managed to stay out of prison as an accessory to murder. I'm torn-on the one hand, she is just as guilty as Karen and Laura because she conceivably had multiple times where she could have potentially interjected herself and stood up for Missy, and as Mr. Ballen said, she did nothing. Having said that, we don't know the relationship between her and Karen and why Karen decided to bring her with in the first place, nor is it likely, with the level of planning that the two girls put into this and the level of animosity between them that she could have done anything except get herself beaten and/or killed as well. Certainly she couldn't get Laura or Karen to change their minds; the best she could have hoped for is to try and give Missy a chance to escape.
With how f'd our justice system is though, had she gone to prison, she'd likely be the only one of the 3 still there in 2022.
fry both of them
@Jackson Spence Jail is where someone goes while they are waiting for trial. After/if they are convicted, they get a sentence which is carried out in a prison. It's a subtle distinction that not a lot of people are actually aware of, and I point it out here only because you seemed unsure of which word to use. I hope I didn't overstep, and you find this useful in the future.
That is the punishment young white females get in the US. If two males had done the same crime it would have been thirty to life. Death row, if the two males were black.
@@zoegartham312 which one's still in prison?
The level of premeditation here is just shocking. It’s hard for me to fathom how evil and vile someone has to be to plan something this sick for…..years. And then manipulate the family the way they did. The pictures of these two monsters as adults clearly depict them as remorseless empty shells, and the total joke of a sentence just broke my heart for Missy and her family. R.I.P. Missy and thank you Mr. Ballen for bringing story to light, as hard as it was to hear!
Evil, not sick. Please help change the narrative. “Sick” eludes to the idea that what’s wrong with the perpetrators can be remedied- it cannot. Sociopathy isn’t curable.
Mr. Ballen, Things like this make me want to return to the Ituri forest. The so called primitive Pygmy’s there would be disgusted by this behavior.
Especially crazy for young girls to be behind it. Unfathomable how someone can be that evil, cold, and calculated at such a young age, I guess some people really are born evil. And not just one of them, two. Insane that two kids could come together and think up something like this without either one stopping for a second and saying "hey, maybe this is a bit extreme."
Eva's lack of response or reaction aof any kind makes her nearly just as guilty.
I guess she was there to be the *witness* of this ruthless, heartless murder. God does work in mysterious ways...
@@RCLIM-yx8gvgod is not real if things like this happens
A long time ago I realized people are the only real monsters. Prime example. We should be able to petition against parole
