I’m so happy for the second story. The parents have their daughter and a granddaughter and Yulia knows she was never abandoned, but so utterly loved and searched for.
@@BinkyTheGoddessDivine Yeah, I've always thought that. Remember the four teens on their way to a football game who went off the road in the 1970s. The mother never moved from the house desperately hoping. Then a few years after she finally died they found the car and the bodies. Breaks my heart. Tragic on so many levels. edition.cnn.com/2014/10/23/us/us-b-foss-lake-mystery-solved/index.html
Not only that but living right there and then finding out there's been a body in the water directly behind your house! Imagine having been fishing there all those years. I'm glad their families have some closure now.
@@TinFoilCat90 I think the likelihood of there being bodies in any particular lake is pretty tiny, and we are surrounded by the bodies of the dead anywhere you go. In fact, right this second you are probably inhaling the atoms of many dead people. But I totally agree - the sense of being trapped in the cold and dark, with that inevitability. That's certainly why I am reluctant to go to sea. The Titanic deaths must have been horrific.
@@MamaPinks Yes, you kind of expect that the families assumed death after years, but the closure must kind of help I guess. Very bittersweet. That said, an acquaintance of mine who lost her son said "Closure is for bank accounts not heart accounts." If I had a child abducted and the body was finally found, I can't imagine the closure would be much comfort. Losing people to disappearance must be the most excruciating form of emotional torture.
The second case is fantastic! What a great ending to a story. I'm glad Yulia didn't hold it against her biological parents. I wish the other cases had ended as happily.
Child (Sexual) Trafficking, Selling of Children for Adoption and, Kidnappings-for-Hire are still extremely common in those parts of Eastern Europe 'til this Day. Hell, such things were still pretty common in Western Europe. Especially, where I was growing up in Ulaidh de réigiúin mhárta-teorainneacha during the Troubles in the 70's-80's. It is part of the reason why I emigrated here to the U.S. in 1988 along with my little sisters. Not to mention the constant border violence.
Every detail of the part about Yulia's reunion with her biological parents was so wholesome and made me so happy, and they just kept coming! The being sure at first sight, the conversation until 3am when they first met, and then finally the daily good morning text! Unless they were/are abusive, don't take your parents for granted people, send them a good morning text (or to your kids if you're a parent). There will come a day when you may look back and regret not showing enough affection to your parents, but I doubt you'll ever say you did it too much!
Refreshing that you didn’t demonize anyone in the stories or make it seem like anyone Involved in the cases had it coming through their own negligence. Truly tragic happenstances.
Wow finding Janet was one weird coincidence after another. If the boys hadnt saved that fam in 2009 and if that couple hadnt stayed at that resort & if f he ppl who owned the resort didnt own it she wouldnt have been found for probably decades, if ever. Thats crazy. Max is an awesome young man.
Nom De Plume - I thought the same thing while listening how it unraveled! Sometimes things just work out in the end. I think I wont forget about this case anytime soon! Cue the Twilight Zone theme here..
Makes you wonder If he was an alcoholic? If so was he being honest? how much did he really drink to sleep and not recall much of the train ride? Maybe someone put something in his drink? There is no mention of a head injury or any injuries to him. If he was fighting someone off an injury would explain him not remembering the ride or what happened. So many unanswered questions in this case.
@@redsloane879 yes that was another odd part. I wonder if she got away or they left her in the train station. The other thing I wondered was she knew her parents 1st names but not that the man and women took her? Because it said she was glad to find out they lost her and looked for her. Did they maybe drug her too since she didn't know she was taken and seemed to have no memory of her father fighting them off? Assuming that is how he got blood on him. Unfortunately they may never know what all happened but fortunately she is alive unlike many other abducted children.
I was thinking the same thing, I would also keep actively wishing something nasty would happen to him too. Im so non-violent, that would be my only ‘revenge’.. So glad she was found at the end.
@@janemiettinen5176 Haha, me too. Nice to see someone who's as gentle a person as you are, it's so rare I sometimes get the feeling I'm the only one out there... But I'm like that with everything, I'm so anti-confrontational that I don't stand up for myself when I should, and that's not the healthiest kind of thing to have to live with either. But, oh well. Id rather be too easy going and kind than any alternative. It's easier for me to lay my head down and know I would never hurt another living soul, even when it hurts myself...
Tony 2 Toes - Getting drunk on a train and losing your child isn’t a “mistake”. Women killing their kids isn’t a “mistake”, either. Are you nuts? And “until your man hits you”... where did that come from? 😂 My God, I’m so used to my husband - who isn’t a drunk who would lose his kid or hit me, ever - that I forget how low the bar is set for manhood in the general public.
I couldn't imagine living the rest of my life never knowing what happened to a missing loved one. Not the result they hoped for but now she can be laid to rest and the family has closure.
Finally see a happy ending to a missing young little girl, usually they're either kidnapped for someone's sexual perv3ted ways or sold by child traffickers into sex slavery. So happy for all of them with the unexpected outcome and kudos to her husband for finding the missing child report that her parents had reported 27 years earlier.
I'm so glad Yulia was eventually found, it's sad that the other two cases weren't so cheering, but at least the families got to know what happened to their loved ones. Great upload as always 👍👍👍
Thanks for researching stories that aren’t popular! The google maps one is incredible. Imagine finding a submerged car on google maps. I’d probably try to convince myself that I can’t possibly be the one to solve a potential cold case that professionals couldn’t and give families answers and closure. Shows how possible it is for you to find something and solve a case, even a missing persons case.
That's why it is important to remember that this world is made up of people. Governments and police departments are people. We should all help if we can.
I think he fought for his daughter though? A fight ending with him knocked out from being hit in the head would explain the blood on his clothes, and concussions (aka traumatic brain injury) are known to cause memory loss of time before and after the trauma. Admittedly the alcohol probably didn’t help with trying to win the fight though. :/ I’ll add a link to a website about TBI and other spinal injuries for if you’re interested! msktc.org/tbi/factsheets/Memory-And-Traumatic-Brain-Injury If you would rather avoid clicking on links from random strangers on the internet (probably sensible) look up the organisation : Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC) and have a look at their “memory and traumatic brain injury” factsheet.
When I was a kid I was fishing in the river and my new lure got caught on something several feet from shore. A few years later police pulled a car from the river, containing the remains of a missing person, right where I lost my lure. To this day I believe that's what my lure was snagged on.
When cars and people disappear without a trace one would think the first assumption would be that they ended up in a body of water. I am glad these families got answers, as sad as they are.
I'd still like to know how the father got blood on his clothes. That was super strange. Glad her boyfriend didn't give up. Thanks to him she now has two families that love her dearly.
Sometimes YT is good at recommending channels and this is one of those times! I can't imagine having a loved one disappear and never knowing what happened. To finally get answers, even in the second case, would be bittersweet.
the third man his story tragically happened alot back then. even in my town it occurred and my mom knew her even. early 80s, young teenage girl goes missing (which barely ever happens here) on a snowy night, frantic search then 20 years later when they decided to build a landing at the bottom of this road there they found her, in the water in her car. so sad. happy though for this video thanks heavy!
It would be interesting to know how this man got all the blood on him while his daughter was being kidnapped. Did he try to fight the kidnappers and lose? No comment about any injuries to him. He must have been very drunk to sleep through all of that or suffered a head injury.
I agree that's the main part that still doesn't really add up. The blood seems to indicate he did fight off this man and woman his daughter was with, but he claims not to remember anything. I believe there's something he's not saying there. And sadly he probably never will. I find the case very touching and emotional, and I'm glad a more positive outcome came of it but the details of the Father's account (or lack thereof) still leave me feeling uneasy.
@@barbarat5729No judgement here. When things don't add up it's human nature to question what we don't understand. That's how both cars were found in the lakes.
I know, that's what I was thinking. But I'm sure they just assumed that she was having so much fun and forgot to call. That's why I always tell my daughter to call whenever she gets to her destination, or I will call her and check up on her. Same thing with my mom.
I don't think they thought anything could be wrong. She was with family, they were busy. If the cousins hadn't called they probably wouldn't have realized she was missing until it was time for her to return. I bet the cousins only called because they wanted to express how offended they were at the rudeness of her non-appearance. Also keep in mind long distance "calling" was not as ubiquitous a habit then as it is now. It was still considered by many an emergency thing, the cost of which was only to be incurred if there was a real problem. Different times, different values.
As wonderful as it is that these cold cases were finally solved, my heart still breaks for the families of the first and third family. You always want there to be a happy ending, as in the case of Yulia, but I would imagine that it does give them some help in finally knowing what happened. In the case of Yulia and her entire family, it sounds like she was fortunate that she had a loving adopted family, grew up being loved, cared for and was able to establish a healthy foundation for her to benefit for her life from know on. It’s also wonderful that she has found her parents and she now has two loving families, an apology from her father and her forgiveness, and her daughter has 3 sets of grandparents to love and spoil her. It was a wonderful ending for all involved. Thank you HC for bringing these updates to light. I always wonder what happened to those who mysteriously have disappeared and I always think of the heartbreak for their loved ones. Again, thank you so much for this update!!
#2 made me tear up. so glad that they know their daughter is well. #1 an #3 glad these families got some answers. on the unresolved sub someone pointed out how you hate to admit to looking at your ex's house on google maps but you gotta do what you gotta do. glad the ex-husband raised the alarm even tho he had to say, "i was looking at your house on google maps and..."
Oh yeah! I saw this on the news online about the kid with the camera who took the pic from BC - but I didn't hear the rest of the story. Thanks for filling me in here. I was wondering about this case and I thought - who's going to cover this first?
It's so good to hear cold cases at being solved,even if its bad news,at least the families can know what happened to their loved one's and can finally move on as best they can,also it's great for the girl and her family to come together,it brings hope to other families🤔🤔❤❤
Wow, that last one. Incredible. All those years submerged underwater, meer feet away from homes and people living their day-to-day lives, none the wiser to what's in the pond. Unsettling and also extremely sad.
the second story has such a heartwarming ending.. but i cant help but wonder about everything in the beginning. who was that couple? how many other children did they do this with? moved across countries, it could be impossible to tell. and why take her in the first place? she remembers begging and being homeless, but not "abuse".. or maybe they just havent released that info? so many unanswered questions its haunting to consider. i suppose we should focus on being grateful their family is back intact 🙏
I thought the couple took her to help with begging. They do this in China, take babies and toddlers and practically use them to get sympathy from others so they receive more money. People are more likely to give money to a homeless baby over a homeless couple.
exactly, but... my brother made certain his kids even knew how to call 911- until my niece called the police on him. Woke up early one Sunday morning to 2 police cars in front of his house and a knock on his door.
@@ceecie5776 kids are twats lol I remember my brother 8 or 9 at the time calling the police on my parents because they wouldn't buy him the nikeys he wanted
What a great video! Althoigh it made me cry. I went from sad to joy then back to sad and then just glad their families finally had answers. The thought of searching, wondering, worrying and missing someone you love is just sad, thank you for sharing. Once again, great video. Subbed
Another brilliant, caring and fantastic video! And it even is on time. On the spot! Thank you! You lift my heart each time with what you do and present. What an amazing and talented human being you are. Bless you!
I got the impression this was intended to be an extended family visit. That's a long way to go for just a day or two. So she likely intended to get there early so she could spend time with the various relatives. There would have been surprise that she didn't arrive early ... or at all .... but this wouldn't have been addressed, in all likelihood, until after the wedding and related events were over.
Must remember that the kidnapping occurred around the time following the breakup of the Soviet Union, when Belarus along with others were gaining independence from Russia, so being found in Russia it was probably difficult to access information about missing-person cases from over the border. Also the name 'Yulia' being the equivalent of 'Julia' along with her parents having fairly common names, would've made it difficult to locate them!
i had actually been planning on doing a ronald tammen video before you covered him in our collab! i guess we work so well together because we think alike! hahaha
I’m so glad you’ve decided to lower the volume of the background music! I’m very sensitive to sound and now it’s much easier for me to enjoy your great content
Three very interesting cases! I wonder how the last gentleman ended up in the pond, could it have been foul play or was he intoxicated after all & drove off the road? In any case , it’s very important that we talk often about the missing, and keep their names in front of the public eye. Thanks for another great video.
I love these old cases, especially when they have some form of resolution, I know all may not have a happy ending but at least the families get some form of closure. Thanks good upload 🙂
I wonder if they took samples of the blood found on the guy on the train's clothing. I bet they could use DNA now to find who stole the daughter. Imagine being on a train and two people just grab your daughter. You try to fight them, but get knocked out. I bet that's what happened.
The couple's DNA would have to be in a database. I'm not sure how advanced Belarus is on that score, or how sophisticated their evidence preservation techniques were at the time.
The problem is that there are many abandoned vehicles from vehicle thefts. So unless they have reason to believe theres a body there they wont bother to pull it out.
Another story for y'all.... Around 1999 in Boca Raton, Florida, A man fishing in a canal with a depth finder discovered a submerged vehicle. After removing the vehicle from the water, which also happened to be a van I believe, investigators found the remains of five or six people. Can't remember the exact number. Turns out in 1979, a group of friends left Ft Lauderdale for a concert in West Palm Beach, and apparently lost control, plunging into the canal where they immediately flipped over and sank into the mud. The dead were all in their teens, between the ages of 16 and 18. 20 years (almost to the day) after they went missing, the parents all finally got closure on the mystery. I'll never forget the news broadcasts for that story, as my highschool wasn't far from the spot where they were discovered. Anyway, true story though I've yet to find one of these videos covering it.
Send a message to the channel with the details that you remember. So they can cover it in other videos, they might not read every comment but pay more attention to the pms.
The last story gave me chills😱 I too live in Fort Lauderdale and I drive through Wellington and Lantana on my commute to work in West Palm. Anyone who lived in Florida in the 90s knows how swampy and scary South Florida used to be😰
Sad for the two drivers. Grateful their families now have closure. Thrilled for the lady in Russia now knowing she wasn't abandoned and her parents now know she's alive and well. Great video!
Driving such a distance at 69,all by herself, was a bit much? And searching so many miles, who would have thought that she was in the lake all along. Were they able to determine if Janet drowned or what else might have caused her death?
after all those years they wouldnt have been able to determine anything, they would have had nothing but bones, not possible to determine cause of death from that, especially drowning, for that you need the lungs!
I really love your videos. But it's the first time that I heard of all 3 case's in the news, the last few weeks. Still very interesting and better told than the news articles ♥️
The coupe probably abducted Yulia thinking that more people would feel sorry for them and give them more money while begging. Then learned they were losing money feeding the child and it was too much for them and thus abandoned her. So fkn sad. But glad she at least lived a good life.
I look forward to your new case posts. So many unheard of cases! Your attention to detail, melodic voice and storytelling sucks me right in like we’re having a round table discussion about these people. Absolutely fantastic and I’m so excited for new episodes!
I drive past a little lake every single day taking my kid to school and it's literally right off the road with nothing blocking it at all I'm always so scared of wrecking into it and never being found..that is so scary..
I’m so happy for the second story. The parents have their daughter and a granddaughter and Yulia knows she was never abandoned, but so utterly loved and searched for.
❤️💕💖🙏 Praise the Lord. 🙏🙌😊💖
So many old cases ended up as cars driving off the road into a lake. The idea of those corpses slowly rotting down there, unknown, unburied. So sad.
Imagine the horror they fell trying to get out of the car and not being able to. Horrible way to die.
@@BinkyTheGoddessDivine Yeah, I've always thought that. Remember the four teens on their way to a football game who went off the road in the 1970s.

I guess, since she didn't say anything about it, there wasn't any information. Maybe they couldn't find the person/people it belonged to.
@SexJunkle sounds like you rewrote the whole story. Maybe.
I couldn't have said it better! Great stories.
or he was drugged, not uncommon in some countries especially on trains.
I have a suspicion that yulias father had more than a single drink
I was thinking that too...he apparently was "black out drunk".
No doubt, he def did
It was a single drink... it was just the bottle was the glass.
In that part of the world a bottle is considered a drink.
He was an idiot for that. He was supposed to be watching his daughter, smh
How odd about the abduction of Yulia. The couple took her but then abandoned her. What was the point?
I thought the same. They must have gotten too scared, paranoid maybe? And decided it wasn't worth it. I'm just happy they didn't kill her.
Probably to use her in there begging excapades
The point was that they found her alive. She was reunited with her family. The rest of the families weren't so lucky.
@@janbadinski7126 - My point is what was the point? What did they get out of it?

@JRRnotTolkien The lack of memory of the entire trip does seem to indicate being drugged.

Not that uncommon in Soviet, so just take it easy.
Lol Russians sold their babies for vodka trust a person that lived there
The blood on him could mean there was a fight and he was hit on the head

I know, that's what I was thinking. But I'm sure they just assumed that she was having so much fun and forgot to call. That's why I always tell my daughter to call whenever she gets to her destination, or I will call her and check up on her. Same thing with my mom.
I was looking for this comment! Poor woman...
My reaction EXACTLY!!! And it wasn’t her kids. Was cousins calling to see why she didn’t attend wdg! 🤷🏽♀️
I don't think they thought anything could be wrong. She was with family, they were busy. If the cousins hadn't called they probably wouldn't have realized she was missing until it was time for her to return. I bet the cousins only called because they wanted to express how offended they were at the rudeness of her non-appearance.
Also keep in mind long distance "calling" was not as ubiquitous a habit then as it is now. It was still considered by many an emergency thing, the cost of which was only to be incurred if there was a real problem. Different times, different values.
Good work Max, good to see that family get closure after 27 years of not knowing what happened to Janet. God bless you Max
As wonderful as it is that these cold cases were finally solved, my heart still breaks for the families of the first and third family. You always want there to be a happy ending, as in the case of Yulia, but I would imagine that it does give them some help in finally knowing what happened. In the case of Yulia and her entire family, it sounds like she was fortunate that she had a loving adopted family, grew up being loved, cared for and was able to establish a healthy foundation for her to benefit for her life from know on. It’s also wonderful that she has found her parents and she now has two loving families, an apology from her father and her forgiveness, and her daughter has 3 sets of grandparents to love and spoil her. It was a wonderful ending for all involved. Thank you HC for bringing these updates to light. I always wonder what happened to those who mysteriously have disappeared and I always think of the heartbreak for their loved ones. Again, thank you so much for this update!!
I’m glad the parents found their daughter years later, alive and well. It’s so rare for these cases to have a good ending.
#2 made me tear up. so glad that they know their daughter is well. #1 an #3 glad these families got some answers. on the unresolved sub someone pointed out how you hate to admit to looking at your ex's house on google maps but you gotta do what you gotta do. glad the ex-husband raised the alarm even tho he had to say, "i was looking at your house on google maps and..."
The second story has such a happy ending!
Oh yeah! I saw this on the news online about the kid with the camera who took the pic from BC - but I didn't hear the rest of the story. Thanks for filling me in here. I was wondering about this case and I thought - who's going to cover this first?
I just love the way you Speak in your videos. Soothing voice and very informative!
I agree! Although sometimes I feel I need to clear my throat because it kinda sounds like she does, but I think it’s just the way her voice is.
Really like seeing old cases solved. Like your narration and concise yet very interesting stories. Thanks for sharing.
Google Earth has a shot of the Grand Isles pond from 2/99. looking at the modern shot next to the B/W 99 photo, you can vaguely see the car.
George Hoffmann omg. There’s been accidents of dead bodies being posted too
link?
That girl from Belarus finding her parents. That's awesome they were able to find each other. That would be the worst feeling to lose your child
It's so good to hear cold cases at being solved,even if its bad news,at least the families can know what happened to their loved one's and can finally move on as best they can,also it's great for the girl and her family to come together,it brings hope to other families🤔🤔❤❤
Wow, that last one. Incredible. All those years submerged underwater, meer feet away from homes and people living their day-to-day lives, none the wiser to what's in the pond. Unsettling and also extremely sad.
That old Honda didn't look bad for 27 years in the drink!
I bet it had less rust than mine does.
It had pop up headlights, that's enough to make any car desirable.
The car guy in me thought thats in pretty good condition aswell
I think since it's a lake and not a river that the lack of current slowed down the erosion process
the second story has such a heartwarming ending.. but i cant help but wonder about everything in the beginning. who was that couple? how many other children did they do this with? moved across countries, it could be impossible to tell. and why take her in the first place? she remembers begging and being homeless, but not "abuse".. or maybe they just havent released that info? so many unanswered questions its haunting to consider. i suppose we should focus on being grateful their family is back intact 🙏
I thought the couple took her to help with begging. They do this in China, take babies and toddlers and practically use them to get sympathy from others so they receive more money. People are more likely to give money to a homeless baby over a homeless couple.
That first lady’s watch is so tight it makes my arm hurt
Good observation
Lol thats what i was thinking then read this post
😂😂😂
Lmfao 😂😂
I had to go back and look...Lol tight is an understatement.. But poor Janet, so sad...
I guess you should teach your 4yr old their last name..
exactly, but... my brother made certain his kids even knew how to call 911- until my niece called the police on him. Woke up early one Sunday morning to 2 police cars in front of his house and a knock on his door.
thombrian woah, why did they call on him?
@@ceecie5776 kids are twats lol I remember my brother 8 or 9 at the time calling the police on my parents because they wouldn't buy him the nikeys he wanted
Yes eve
The Yulia story is amazing. Sad with a happy ending.
What a great video! Althoigh it made me cry. I went from sad to joy then back to sad and then just glad their families finally had answers. The thought of searching, wondering, worrying and missing someone you love is just sad, thank you for sharing. Once again, great video. Subbed
Though the second story had a happy ending it's heartbreaking to think of all the years the three of them missed out on.
Thanks for the updates You do a great job narrating
seeing new videos from you is always the best. thank you for all the work you do
Another brilliant, caring and fantastic video! And it even is on time. On the spot!
Thank you! You lift my heart each time with what you do and present.
What an amazing and talented human being you are. Bless you!
Solved case s are the best of your videos. Thank you for posting.
I always get excited when I see a SOLVED case! And multiples at that!!! Thank you so much sweetie!!!!!
Why waiting 2 weeks to ask why she didn’t attend wedding???
Probably the wedding was hectic then off for honeymoon then home where you eventually have a minute to call. Just an idea though.
You are assuming that she intended to arrive on the day of the wedding. She might have been going early with no set arrival date.
I got the impression this was intended to be an extended family visit. That's a long way to go for just a day or two. So she likely intended to get there early so she could spend time with the various relatives. There would have been surprise that she didn't arrive early ... or at all .... but this wouldn't have been addressed, in all likelihood, until after the wedding and related events were over.
I couldn’t imagine losing my daughter only to find her 20 years later omg
Max, please do not swim alone. You are an amazing young man. God Bless
I love these solved mysteries videos!! I hope you do more!
How did two police officers find a child and have the name of the baby and her parents name and never connect the dots?
Must remember that the kidnapping occurred around the time following the breakup of the Soviet Union, when Belarus along with others were gaining independence from Russia, so being found in Russia it was probably difficult to access information about missing-person cases from over the border. Also the name 'Yulia' being the equivalent of 'Julia' along with her parents having fairly common names, would've made it difficult to locate them!
She was found 500 miles away from where she was from so that would have made it difficult too.
Damn, I am working on the william earl moldt one too xD
Keep on working on it! Always good to have more or different details on a case!
i had actually been planning on doing a ronald tammen video before you covered him in our collab! i guess we work so well together because we think alike! hahaha
heavy casefiles. Haha true
Exhusband to wife: hey I was just looking at your neighbor hood on google maps and I found something
*the teardrop shaped pond* ma’am that is an eyebrow
I’m so glad you’ve decided to lower the volume of the background music! I’m very sensitive to sound and now it’s much easier for me to enjoy your great content
Three very interesting cases! I wonder how the last gentleman ended up in the pond, could it have been foul play or was he intoxicated after all & drove off the road? In any case , it’s very important that we talk often about the missing, and keep their names in front of the public eye. Thanks for another great video.
I love these old cases, especially when they have some form of resolution, I know all may not have a happy ending but at least the families get some form of closure.
Thanks good upload 🙂
that second story about Yulia was so sweet, thanks for all your research and hard work on these videos!
I had to make sure I listen to this today, she's awesome isn't she?👍🤗🤗
Totally awesome
This was the first video of yours Ive had the pleasure of viewing. I enjoyed it, subbed, & look forward to seeing both past, & future efforts. Thanks
Great! Everyone likes to hear how cases turn out.
I wonder if they took samples of the blood found on the guy on the train's clothing. I bet they could use DNA now to find who stole the daughter. Imagine being on a train and two people just grab your daughter. You try to fight them, but get knocked out. I bet that's what happened.
The couple's DNA would have to be in a database. I'm not sure how advanced Belarus is on that score, or how sophisticated their evidence preservation techniques were at the time.
OK, did you not listen to the narration? The blood was analyzed. And if it were a fight, would it not be noted by at least someone else?
That's exactly what happened! He was NOT drunk. He was assaulted and had a major concussion.
That's what I thought too - head trauma can cause memory loss - seems like a plausible explanation
I'm so thankful that each of these families have closure...happy or sad
Thank you for doing these. At least SOME disappearances that occur have been finally solved, bringing at least a degree of closure to the families.
These easy disappearances are the scariest to me. Like look in lakes people.
The problem is that there are many abandoned vehicles from vehicle thefts. So unless they have reason to believe theres a body there they wont bother to pull it out.
Do you look in lakes all the time then?
Another story for y'all....
Around 1999 in Boca Raton, Florida, A man fishing in a canal with a depth finder discovered a submerged vehicle.
After removing the vehicle from the water, which also happened to be a van I believe, investigators found the remains of five or six people. Can't remember the exact number.
Turns out in 1979, a group of friends left Ft Lauderdale for a concert in West Palm Beach, and apparently lost control, plunging into the canal where they immediately flipped over and sank into the mud.
The dead were all in their teens, between the ages of 16 and 18.
20 years (almost to the day) after they went missing, the parents all finally got closure on the mystery.
I'll never forget the news broadcasts for that story, as my highschool wasn't far from the spot where they were discovered.
Anyway, true story though I've yet to find one of these videos covering it.
This factual recitation is true.
I live down here. I remember this. The general facts are true.
Wish this would be reenacted too great stories and closures for the families.
Send a message to the channel with the details that you remember. So they can cover it in other videos, they might not read every comment but pay more attention to the pms.
Two downers but one wonderful ending, so glad that adorable child in the picture made it to adulthood.
What I learned from this video is if someone goes missing with their car they're probably in a lake.
The last story gave me chills😱 I too live in Fort Lauderdale and I drive through Wellington and Lantana on my commute to work in West Palm. Anyone who lived in Florida in the 90s knows how swampy and scary South Florida used to be😰
As always a great job with lesser known cases. Excellent job dear, thank you.
Even though 2 out of the 3 stories didn't end well, it's amazing that these were solved at all.
Canadian kids like that Max are like having a human Swiss army knife.
Well done, son.
.
Janet seemed like such a nice lady, and she bears a striking resemblance to my next door neighbor(rip Mary Lou), she was such a beautiful person.
What a series of circumstances that were just right in that sad first story! And the second is amazing.
This year is a wonderful year for medical science and technology when solving crimes and missing persons cases.
Love this channel!
Sad for the two drivers. Grateful their families now have closure. Thrilled for the lady in Russia now knowing she wasn't abandoned and her parents now know she's alive and well. Great video!
I love when cases are solved it brings closure.
Thank goodness these poor people were found. It must besome comfort to their families after all these years, especially in the case of Yulia.
Driving such a distance at 69,all by herself, was a bit much? And searching so many miles, who would have thought that she was in the lake all along. Were they able to determine if Janet drowned or what else might have caused her death?
after all those years they wouldnt have been able to determine anything, they would have had nothing but bones, not possible to determine cause of death from that, especially drowning, for that you need the lungs!
Seems that finding them "27 years later is a common theme."
3 well resarched cases and keep up the awesome work
I love solved cases. Nice job!
I really love your videos. But it's the first time that I heard of all 3 case's in the news, the last few weeks. Still very interesting and better told than the news articles ♥️
The coupe probably abducted Yulia thinking that more people would feel sorry for them and give them more money while begging. Then learned they were losing money feeding the child and it was too much for them and thus abandoned her. So fkn sad. But glad she at least lived a good life.
I love solved cases. Thank you for the video. I subscribed.
I look forward to your new case posts. So many unheard of cases! Your attention to detail, melodic voice and storytelling sucks me right in like we’re having a round table discussion about these people. Absolutely fantastic and I’m so excited for new episodes!
I'm thinking maybe dad had more than one drink on the train...
That’s for sure, he had memory gAps .. how much one have to drink to knock oneself out ? 🙄
Great video as always!! Its amazing how close the last mans remains were for so long and nobody ever realized it.
Amazing work. I am so happy for the family who have finally found the answer to their missing family members.
Sometimes traffickers bring the child back when they examine them and find an illness they are no longer valuable.
such a great format this channel has... love the music and narration
Cased like these fascinate me to no end! Love it!
I drive past a little lake every single day taking my kid to school and it's literally right off the road with nothing blocking it at all I'm always so scared of wrecking into it and never being found..that is so scary..
Get a window punch and put it in your car.
i agree, im always nervous driving next to deep water....horrible thought
Excellent video! I love it when missing people are found or families get closure 👏👍😊
