Lived in an apartment for a week was pregnant and had a 2 yr old.
Stepped out the shower one day to a maintenance guy in my living room. I screamed and ran back in my bathroom and called police.
That's when I found out maintenance and even housekeeping have access to keys. I changed the locks and about a month later the complex tried to evict me for breaking the lease , they claimed changing the locks and not providing them a copy as the grounds. I fought it in court and thankfully had a judge with some sense who ended up fining the Complex for predatory practices.
Most Apartment complex allow maintenance to have access into Apartments.
Thanks for posting!
Wow!
Managing agents keep keys here in the UK and I just think its bad practice!
@@wandasewell4501yea but they just can’t go In without the tenants “permission”. Especially if she was home, they got no business going in like that. They could’ve knock.
Same at my old apartment and they was income apartments like wtf
I had a contractor that was doing repairs in my new apartment become obsessed with me. He bought me flowers, asked me out relentlessly and would not take no for an answer. I was terrified of moving into the apartment and having him stalk me there. My good guy friend who is like a brother confronted him and paid him the balance of the money for the work and told him to stay away from me. We changed the locks in my new apartment and I filed a police report that night. Thankfully he never bothered me again. There are sick, disturbed, obsessive people out there who insist they have a connection with you because you smiled at them or were polite or kind. May this beautiful soul rest in peace. She didn't deserve this 😥
Scary. Glad ur ok.
Glad ur safe mfs are insane
My God we need you! Rest you beautiful soul!
That's why woman need men figure.
Purchase a firearm.
will never understand how some people really can't handle rejection.. scary
Agreed it’s crazy how people can get mad because someone does not want to date them
It’s mostly men who can’t take rejection 😢
@@kelvinababio Yup, the weakest men on this Earth.
@@kelvinababio yes rejection.. i hope that this was rejection w/o sleeping with a man.. bc it s very hard to accept rejection after a girl zzz with the guy! esp the crazy crazy ones!!!
Almost 2 years and it still feels like yesterday. The 🇻🇮 community will keep your memory alive forever Miya 💓🦋

Moms don’t forget to teach your sons that no means no and stop giving your kids everything they want. They need to learn young that they will not always get their way! My prayers to Miyas family! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dads too
His father should have taught him how to be a real man. A mother can't teach that.
Rip Miya But fathers! Teach your Daughters not to put False allegations towards innocent young Men such as Rape etc cuz this system is rig for women that are men that’s innocent still getting convicted with little evidence im sorry say that but it’s truth we need to hold BOTH accountable at the end of the day it happens both ways 💯🗣️✍🏼
@@Tri.dawg1 Stop crying victim while an innocent woman is DEAD!
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT MOMMA MAY TEACH HER BOYS, THEY NEED TO HEAR IT FROM THEIR POPPA OR A MALE AT SCHOOL.
BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY REGARDLESS OF WHAT KIDS ARE TAUGHT MALE & FEMALE THEY’RE GONNA GO THEIR OWN WAY & DO WHAT THEY’RE GONNA DO, SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE BADNESS IN THEIR SOUL.
My dad changed my doorknob locks as soon as I moved in to my apartment, and I'm beyond thankful he did. Rest in peace to this beautiful soul. 🙏🏽❤️🕊
good dad ❤
See at my apartments they wouldn't allow that.
Get u a house thats not yall property u renting someone else shit smh
That’s a positive and a negative. If you have a medical emergency sometimes it’s a good idea for a neighbor or the manager to have the key to come get you in an emergency.
You could of easily done that yourself. But if a man thought about that first. That speaks volumes.
I worked with a young lady named Jasmine Wright and she was one of the nicest and smartest girls who worked there. She left the call center and moved to PA to continue her education, she had already graduated from Drexel and done work in Africa. A few months later I heard the the grapevine she was killed in her apt by a maintenance who had a sick infatuation with unbeknownst to her, just because she was nice and cordial to him. He had been fired from the job but still had keys to the apartments. He hid in her home and ambushed her when she returned he assaulted and strangled her. I will never forget her she was a great young lady and may she RIH!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
Same thing happened to my cousin, in Darlington SC.
She was 18, recently graduated high school and was getting ready to head to college.
A maintenence man, who had been fired, went in, raped her and slashed her neck.
The apartment complex claimed they forgot to take his keys back.
My cousin's grandmother was the one who had to find her that way.
It was a horrible nightmare for the family and I just remember being in shock and numb for about a month.
Im so sorry this happened to this beautiful young lady. I pray her family has found some kind of peace. I also hope they sued the complex.
My cousin most definitely did sue and she won, but it still made no difference to her heart. She's still heartbroken and has never gotten over her daughters murder.
I'm so sorry you and your family had to go through this! No family deserves this! He will face the Creator one day. Be strong my dear,and stay close to your family. Omg that's terrible. My condolences 🙏
❤❤
😢😢😢Im so sorry this happened🙏Prayers and comfort for your family
I am so sorry for your loss.
Omg I'm so sorry this happened to you family. My prayers to you family.
Miya’s Law requires background checks on all employees at apt complexes. The Miya Marcano Foundation supports families of missing persons.
Is that law enacted? Also, is it just in that state or is it everywhere in the country?
@@scorpiocara6798 it needs to be everywhere it's common sense.
@@sixteen.candles.4644 It's not about rather it's common sense or not it's about if rather it is enacted legally everywhere or not. Common sense doesn't make something a law.
I don’t know what state is that my apartment complex have some weird crackhead looking maintenance people. Had one come in my apartment to check my AC luring me to go out and have dinner with him the whole time I had my phone on my hand and the knife next to me
@@scorpiocara6798 ITS STATE LAW -FLORIDA -U CAN FIND DETAILS ONLINE
When you move into an apartment, the first thing you do is change the locks. Ring cameras, digital locks because it tells you when people enter or when your door was opened, door and window sensors, and a gun. It’s so important that women are able to protect themselves these days.
You said nothing but facts!!!!! It’s a very dangerous world. Please protect yourselves ladies! Recently I was almost raped and killed by an intruder. Luckily, I’m in the US Army (so I’m pretty strong) and I fought the 6’1 man off with my bare hands. I’m purchasing a gun soon. Very traumatic experience but it woke me up, evil is real
The advice I gave my children. Security camera dead bolt loaded weapon change locks .
@@thesoutherngossip4548 😮 glad you’re ok
@@auntiem71 plz explain what you said
You buy a gun first
I was 18 when I had a stalker, a 27 Year old man and it was horrible and was so scared. I'm glad to be alive now. 😢 beautiful Miya rest in peace.
Thank God!
Glad you are ok!
SOFI+ I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER, NO STALKING HERE, LET'S TRY
Stay safe Sweetheart, and please be mindful of all your surroundings, something does not feel right it’s probably not..
yes miya was a beautiful young woman
My first stalker happened when I was 17. He held the door open; I glanced, smiled, and said thank you. He followed me home. He was then leaving letters on my mother's car. One night standing across the street of our home at night, watching me pack the car. He was arrested after following my little sister and I to a McDonald's. I did receive a restraining order but not before I was intimidated by police officers that I had done something to make him misinterpret my interests. I was 17, he was 56. RIP, Miya ♡
Geez what a sick old man. you were under age and the police made excuses? Disgusting....
when are we going to stop making excuses for creepy old men 🙄
really sorry you went through this
That is horrible, shame on those police for trying to make you feel shame, or label you.
Lol drama
Bet if u was a Blanca u would have been protected from day 1
I am glad my cousin story is still being mentioned S.I.P Mimi 🦋🕊️ keep her name alive ForeverMiya
Sorry for your loss may she rest in peace duch a pretty girl 😢😢
I am so sorry for your family. I do not know her personally but I still think of this tragic and senseless death daily. More needs to be implemented (background/security checks, alarms/camera systems/) to protect college students.
Yeah me too rip cuz
So sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace 😢
😢😢❤ continued prayers
This video didn’t touch on how the family took matters into their own hands enough. They did not back down. They followed him and found him with her blanket too
Followed who?
@@amberking1434Followed the murderer. The video has a small clip of him exiting her car with his blanket. They didnt put the audio.
I watched that video and it's heartbreaking. The family knew she was gone when they saw him with her blanket 😭
They were not backing down. So glad to see there was a law I always think about her. I have twin girls and that is a parents worse nightmare. Rip 🤍
@@amberking1434 lol Amber suzenza dom
Im a single mom of 3 teenage girls, we moved into an apartment about 5 1/2 years ago. I have cameras set up inside and outside, my kids know that no friends are allowed over while im not home and they have to have my permission even when i am home. Friend visits are only those that i truly know. And you know i hold my 2nd ammendment close to heart. This momma bear doesn't mess around!
I’ve been stalked before and this shit is not a joke. These men out here really are sick in the head and can’t stand rejection. It’s mainly the smart, beautiful, intelligent young women that go through this. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I have a daughter and I would lose it. RIP beautiful ❤
*Not sure if you're familiar with the story of Cheslie Kryst, the Black former Miss USA who allegedly committed suic!de by jumping off a condo building about a year and 1/2 ago in New York City? Her death was very sketchy and her case seemed to be closed just a bit too fast raising lots of suspicion. One theory has been that perhaps she had a stalker. As beautiful and distinctive as she was in appearance it would not be surprising, including one video where she freaks out over some guy following her in a park. She had just moved into the condo where she allegedly jumped. NO surveillance video of her final movements EVER surfaced, raising further suspicion. Plus, her body landed so far out into the street that it looked like she was tossed off, rather than a "jump"? She lived at a very elite level, and I've seriously wondered if perhaps she rejected the advances of somebody very rich or powerful, leading to her death and that perhaps her family and even the police have had to fabricate the the suic!de story, until there can be a proper arrest?*
@@JungleYT I remember hearing about Cheslie last year January when it was first reported that she committed suicide, and my bf and I both thinking why would she commit suicide, especially after all of her success. Idk it just seemed weird to me that she committed suicide. I'm not saying wealthy people can't, but as you stated earlier, her case was pretty much open and shut. I agree something isn't right here.
@@MissKokaKola *Thank you... So many people have just moved on and accepted the official narrative... I at first too, accepted the official narrative until the months kept ticking by and absolutely NO video was ever released of her final movements or her being up on that 29th FL terrace. Kept reading hundreds of comments on videos connected to her story on here and elsewhere and story started to fall apart. Especially, after finally realizing the terrace where she supposedly "jumped" was set too far back for her to have landed where she landed. One guy made a great diagram of her building with some measurements and yup, the math ain't mathing. Could have even been an assisted suic!de, but after a YEAR of thorough analysis, I concluded that she did not simply "jump" off that building? I have no doubt she had mental issues, but like you said, something ain't right*
@@MissKokaKola Put down a really good and lengthy response, but this stupid platform deleted it! So much for "Free" speech? At any rate, appreciate your response... Thanks!
@@JungleYT yeah it’s really sad that this sorta stuff happens all the time. I hope eventually the truth will come out and her family will get the justice they deserve.
These apartment complex people always hire strange men not checking their background or anything
Yes, 85% of the time. They are alo paid extremely low wages.
@@munix9351 exactly they don't care who they employ so long as they pay them next to nothing and probably cash in hand
Even with background check people here can go south at any mins . Killing is nothing for them . A place a missing person cant jus show up unharm.
Beautiful girl. RIP, Mya.
Smh.
Not that I'm judging at all, but my maintenance guy got mad at me because I asked him to send electricians that spoke English, as the previous ones ONLY spoke SPANISH. smh. I understand anyone can do anything to a person regardless of what language spoken, but it was a little intimidating when ppl are in your house, yet you can't understand what they're discussing with each other. Smh.. An my Condo leasing office telling me, there's no one else to send.. smh
Miya, was such a beautiful young woman, gorgeous eyes, stunning smile, she had her whole life ahead of her, but was stolen from her family and friends by an animal. Condolences to her family, friends and all who loved her. May she be Resting in Peace. Fly high Miya.
She was a 7 at best

Sucks that the police had this guy right under their nose along with plenty of evidence to arrest him. But they let him get away scot free giving him enough time to take his own life like the coward he is. My heart truly hurts for this family and the way this case was handled. It was a no brainer.
What was evidence to arrest him exactly?
@@cherimarajh2829 he should have been taken in for questioning investigation considering he had those intimate messages with her which pointed to him feeling like he was "loosing her". in the video, they discovered those messages and raised it to him but he seemed to act like he knew nothing about it. that should have made the police put an eye on him considering he tried to take attention of that evidence

Look at the positive side of him not being around anymore, one parasite less to feed in prison and no chance for him to reproduce and bring another monster like him. Prisons are too good nowadays ..
I lost my child by murder, and all I focus on is the dark side of people and how you NEVER know. the days aren't the same after a loved one is ripped from you. Stay strong guys. Love and Light. Thank you guys for highlighting this. Will share.💔

I’m sorry for your loss.
@nailaking9246 I am sorry for your loss. Most people are not murderers. There are good and bad people. Try to focus on the good ones.
I hope with time you can heal.
I am a father to a beautiful 12 year old and every time I hear of a young girl disappearing and killed and scares me deeply cuz we now live in a world of hate, craziness, psychos, just bad ppl and we just gotta do what we can to protect our kids.
Thank Andrew Tate for that.
Scary
@Lurking In Da Comments thanks that’s actually my plan
Stay strong man. Just do everything necessary to protect her. That’s all you can do. Most importantly, teach her how to protect herself and be aware of her surroundings at all times. Sounds extra but It is necessary in this crazy world,
@@RPYMCMB 100000% agree. Everyday I tell her to be careful with her friends cuz even though she says her friends are good friends you can never know until something happens. Like all the cases about friends killing theirs friends
This is one of the reasons why i never let maintenance in my place alone. I tell them no. Im working from home and tell them to come when my roommate is home as well. This story stays with me from first time i heard about it. I have cameras everywhere. We have roof damage and they wanted to survey the area. The first time they came two maintenance crew were inside while my roomate and i were home. The second time there was about 4 or 5 of them that wanted to check inside and i was alone. I said im working from home no you cant come in. The damage is up on the roof you should know by now where it is. They went away. I make sure i tell leasing office i dont feel comfortable when unknown people want to come in my unit while i am alone. They say will i feel better if leasing managers are there too? I said nope. I dont know you either. My roomate will be here as well as me. Roomate is a big dude. Also i keep something scary by the door to freak them out. When your gut tells you something isnt right, listen to it. Rest in peace Miya.
As someone in the property management industry this story is absolutely gut wrenching and should have NEVER happened! RIP to such a beautiful young lady ! I am about to do a podcast about property management to spread awareness of the good the bad and the ugly and every show will for sure be dedicated to her ! RIP BEAUTIFUL 🦋
Let me know of your podcast please ❤
Yes, let us know, please.
Apartments aren't safe. In 2019, I was in my apartment sleeping; woke up and the maintenance guy was standing over my bed. I reported him and moved out the next day. I noticed every time after I arrive, someone had been there...things were moved around! I never want to live in an apartment again EVER!
Did you confront him ? What did you say ? What did he say ? He just went out ?
@@minnesota5513 Yes, I confronted him. Told him he needs to GTFO before it be a problem. He then said he was there for a work order. I never filed a work order bc nothing was wrong with my apartment so he lied about that. He left after that. Next day I was supposed to renew my lease but ended up moving bc I didn't like the fact that maintenance workers has keys to everyone apartment.
@@j.c.8595 omg that’s so creepy … the fact that he lied to your face meanwhile you literally caught him crazy .. did you call his boss to ask if he was really send to your place ? Did the police do anything about this guy ?
@@minnesota5513 immediately after that, I went to the leasing office and told them about the incident. There weren't no record of any work order on file as the leasing agent stated. I already knew it wasn't bc tenants have to file a work order themselves if something is wrong inside apartment. All I know, the leasing agent called me that same day and said he was no longer with the company but I still didn't renew my lease. TF outta there!
@@j.c.8595 wow that’s just insane… I don’t want to imagine what he could’ve done to you.. I’m happy you survived this. take care and be careful
Men that can't handle rejection are pathetic he snuffed out a wonderful smart beautiful baby girl! 💔
Just to 🤬common, especially watching these crime videos. It’s like every other one is some reject who got rejected. It infuriates me. Sick bastards
When they love bomb you, that's a red flag.
@@dolorestroeller4734 I know it's scary even when u go out to a bar or club etc you have to go ugh a group of girls or men to be safe
I'm telling you. Just a pitiful, sorry ahh excuse for these types of human. Ladies, pleases, please be careful out here. Some of these men are the devil disguise as a human. I hope his soul is casted for eternity in hell!
💯💯💯
This was so unfair, not only to Miya, but to her family as well. Why do bad things happen to good people? It's a hard pill to swallow. May God continue to bless her family.
: / BECAUSE GOOD PEOPLE ARE NOT ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT WE LIVE IN A GODLESS WORLD OF BAD PEOPLE AND GOOD PEOPLE. GOOD PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE. THEY ARE GOOD. BAD PEOPLE KNOW GOOD PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THE THINGS THEY DO, SO THEY SURPRISE AND ATTACK AND HURT GOOD PEOPLE.. SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER? GOOD PEOPLE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE BAD PEOPLE AMONG THEM AND NEED TO ALWAYS BE AWARE AND PREPARED TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM ANY BAD PEOPLE IF THEY HAVE TO! THIS IS WHY THE US CONSTITUTION GIVES ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS THE 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THEIR GUNS AND TO BE ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY PROTECT THEMSELVES IF THEY EVER HAVE TO! AND IN 2024 WE ALL HAVE TO!
I’m glad I came across this story because someone was in my apartment when I was gone I saw foot prints on my hard wood floors I called the office to see if there was any maintenance requests by accident they said no and they would look further into it I guess I have to take matters in my own hands and get cameras it’s pretty sad how we have to watch our backs at all times in this world !
I'm going through this now. The maintenance man is my next door neighbor. The screws in my door knob were taken out on the inside & outside.
He was watching me constantly even late at night just to get deliveries, and if I had a visitor in the middle of day, he would come to his apartment to see. He even asked for my number to pick up my packages.
1. I got new locks
2. On Amazon I found a brand called Tapo and the cameras (20.00) have cloud recordings for a small fee- 30 day trial ... I got 4 of them
3. I got a security system, that has a cell back up if the wifi turns off & alarm permit so the police show up
4. I got 2 Enforcer locks for the front door, so they can't kick in the door.
5. I put child safety mechanisms so they can't open the window. It gets stuck from the outside.
The cameras & alarm system has helped so much.
Be safe and record everything in a journal.
Girl get your locks changed and change them back when ur moving out. And get door and window sensors and a ringcam and a gun.
Ring cameras! In-home security cams. These management companies can care less! Telling pol you can't change the locks, ha!😏
glad to hear that nothing had happend to you and that you are alive and well, you are a beautiful woman vanessa, i hope all is well and you stay safe out there 😉
Office ppl lie, happened numerous times- when maintenance and 3rd party contractors entered without permission for the 2nd time I was taking nap w bedrm locked when I woke up to total strangers attempting to open door even banging. .office manager did not take accountability and continued to cover for them repeating they didnt have key when I was calling from my bedrm w them still in apt.
My dad installed latches after that was so scary as single parent/woman.
They couldn't afford to do a proper background check? Especially knowing that the person you hire will have a key to every apartment in the complex? That cost a family their daughter.
That’s what I’m thinking also 🤨 very odd and I would blame that apartment complex… they are responsible for even hiring this creep since he played a big role in her personal living environment
Welcome to America!
& they didn’t search his car while he was at the scene. The police failed her
Police did very crappy job bc the girl is not white
Went is a white girl thing will be different
The media act different the police etc
Such young girl her life got cut off so early just bc the crazy maniac was obsessed with her and can’t take rejection
USA can't afford ilegals. A high price to pay
I’m glad this story is still being talked about this story was so sad 😢
Me too because more young women need to take it serious when a man refuses to accept no. Especially if he’s a neighbor or maintenance person. Better to just move immediately. Even if it costs them everything. Get out of there. God rest her sweet soul. 🙏🏾♥️

😢💔 Strength for you and your family in this moment.
Yes beloved, I remember going to the church in community prayer for her! I am currently going through the same thing with someone from the same west Philadelphia area
Unfortunately, 55th and pine police district aren't taking reports seriously, I've called them twice about someone and unfortunately nothing has been DONE my prayers are for you and your family
What building?
That dad did his best to prevent this from happening. But unfortunately the apartment complex did not.
As a father of a 10 y/o girl stories like this scare tf outta me. It might sound crazy but sometimes I regret bringing her into this world. It's a world full of nutjobs who will take someone's life just because their feelings are hurt. I couldn't imagine the fear she going through her mind when the coward did what he did. My heart goes out to this family.
It doesn't sound crazy I feel the same way. I feel so selfish that I brought a child into this sick world when I know I can't protect them from everything 😢
My God, I remember when this story first broke, praying for her return only to hear this terrible news…I’m saddened and it still brings me to tears. I’m scared of this evil place called earth, but may God protect us even in darkness. RIH Miya and condolences to the Marcano family…please protect our children and women!!! 🙏🏾 🕊️
Amen.
She's so gorgeous - but seriously, men need to learn to accept a "no" for an answer, and even though girls can be so beautiful and attractive, guys should control their feelings! there's no reason to rape and kill like this
It’s not about accepting No it’s not that simple there mentally sick!!!!!!
She has a huge 5-head. Not that attractive
Men ? You mean rapists this is not normal male behavior this is deviant
Her smile was so precious.
I'm glad her story is being told. Raise awareness and honor this sisters life. 🙏🏿🦋🙌🏿
She’s so so beautiful. Everytime they show her I’m like wow. What a pretty young lady she was. So terribly sad this happened to her and any woman who has lost their life in a similar way. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She was beyond gorgeous rest in heaven Miya 💔
Please Please Please put cameras up in your house / apartment! It could save your life! It could make it easier to get to you in the event you are kidnapped or worst.
The crazy thing is that there’s probably some guy watching this right now who is exhibiting this same behavior with a woman who has rejected him. This happens a lot more than you think. So many men struggle with accepting rejection. It’s like they set their sights on a woman and she becomes their property even if she doesn’t even know him. It’s crazy. This guy was handsome, he could’ve gotten a girlfriend fairly easily, but he saw her as his for some reason. He didn’t even know her. Smh. It’s sickening.
I remember dealing with a similar situation with a coworker. He wouldn't take no for an answer the environment was very hostile. It's a shame so many of us have these experiences with men who can't handle rejection.
It’s usually the men who are raised by mothers who cater to their every needs. They are not used to not get what they want and when something is not going their way, they act out. Throw mental instability in the mix and there you go, an aggressive stalker with killer tendencies.
@@tusanescAgain blaming women for male behavior. Smdh
That's why I'm single
@@brianal7143 relationship now days are scary when you meet a person still you don't know him or her. But in this world it happen a man can't take no.for an answer.
So sad. Yet ANOTHER story of a woman who lost her innocent life because a man's ego was too fragile for rejection. This is happening waaaay too often.
There need to be mandatory programs for boys and men to learn to accept rejection. Being rejected by a girl or woman does not give you the right to take her life. My goodness!
Agree but sometimes it comes from the way they are raised.
@@carialv Oh, I completely agree with you on that! It is definitely how they are raised. And if emotionally unhealthy people keep raising kids, this type of story is sadly going to continue happening on a regular basis. Very very sad.

His spirit is in hell, trust me, he didn't get away with it.
Prayers Activated for Mia and all who love her. Strength to the family you're absolutely beautiful and amazing and epitomize true love . I pray your strength.
@@albertatinsley-talabi8828 It is too late for Miya. But accept Jesus right now, repent of your sins, believe he is coming back soon.
Anytime I spoke to my father about the simple idea of living alone some day he used to be afraid and I didn't know why because I was too young, now I understand him 😢
being a young woman living in orlando makes this hit so different.. and the sad part is we resonate more with crimes that are closer to us or the place we live but it’s everywhere. every city has a story, every street has victims we may not even know about yet. Rip Miya, im so sorry this happened to you 💔 ladies living alone please stay safe 🥺
@Bellz exactly. I was shocked that I'd never heard of this story until it popped up on UA-cam. But I live in the tristate area. I thought this should have been national news like other stories about women who don't look the same complexion as the ones we don't hear about on the news.
I got my first apt and the apt complex did not change the locks, I came home to see 2 men inside my apt, I quickly left and thank God I did, they claimed to be Maintance but clearly were not, they were stealing my belongings. I told them I was going to get my backpack and instead drove off to call pd . I moved out that weekend.
Glad you got away
Wow! Glad you moved quickly and was safe
Smart girl👏👏👏glad you’re with us.
Wow, thats crazy
Omg. Thank God you seen them
Sadly, this happens almost every day and I just don't understand what makes a man think he has the right to take from a woman that was given to her by the Creator!. It's totally evil! If she says no I'm not interested, just be a man and say okay and leave her alone, but they just can't do it. Wow! It breaks my heart every time I hear about tragic horrible young women being taken from this world in ways like this. RIP! Miya! 🙏🙏🙏 Condolences to the family!
Amen sis
Because some men suck. They like the power they feel over a helpless woman and its disgusting
@@kekemola1475 facts
🙏
I agree. I’ll never understand it. He was a decent looking guy who could get another woman. Why harass a woman who doesn’t want you? Poor Miya. 🙏🏾🤦🏾♀️♥️
Thank you for bringing this story to see ♥️I hope they find Mya 🌟💛⭐🤗
The dad lost so much weight a year after hs daughter passed, my heart goes out to this family. How it must haunt them her last moments ... How can we even think that God isn't coming back to judge the world...
You could tell the Reporter was still trying to hold back tears. RIP Baby Girl🙏🏽🕊
If only news channels would have this much empathy for Blk men like Rasheem Carter that was lyinched by Razist wite men in Mississippi aided by the police.
I’m so glad that you covered the story not a lot of media attention went out because this was the same time when Gabby Petito was missing and it just really sucks that we couldn’t find Miya in time.. The police officers the sheriffs department really dropped the ball rest in peace princess
Okay,unfortunately she didn't have completion that warrants immediate attention,unlike blond hair and blue eyes!
Tina! Does this always have to be about race. Honestly, I feel sorry for race baiters, as it must be a very unhappy life. So much going on in the world and all you can think about is black vs white. Wake up lady.
RIP beautiful!
@@vostoball5278 Well said 🙏♥️
@@tinamurray5610 get the hell outta here with that race baiting shit,not everything is about race,this is about a deranged man that abducted a beautiful young woman because he wanted her,let's keep focused on the actual issue,your life has got to be absolutely boring if all you can think about or see is racism,there is one race and that race is human being, period.
I'd like to offer disagreeance. white girls are plastered all over media the nanosecond they are swept away. so much so that everyone remembers an elizabeth smart or a natalie Holloway but those non white bodies are always overlooked. that is not race baiting. that is simply FACTUAL. brown bodies only make the headline when the bangers bang. or rape or snatch a white girl. or get caught up in a drug bust.
maybe they're just asking for same energy.
this story gets to me everytime i see this on youtube.
This story is absolutely devastating prayers for family and friends, nobody ever deserves to die this way.
There is no way any handyman with a sketchy past should have keys to every apartment! No background check not even to see if he’s a sex offender. Miya was a beautiful beautiful young lady and her smile snuffed out by an animal!! The apartment complex should be held liable!!
AND THEY KNEW COLLEGE KIDS LIVED THERE SO RECKLESS
Sadly, the lack of background checks happens more often than people realize. It needs to be a law in all states.
Handy men should not have keys to your apartment. They should make appointments and be let in when work is required.
This is utterly heartbreaking. A beautiful innocent 19 year old student taken from where she should have been safe, through sheer negligence. Miya was just starting out her life, her loving Dad had even taken measures to try and protect her. My condolences to her lovely family and friends.
Hey Christine! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your UA-cam channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!
Miya was stunningly gorgeous! She would have done such amazing things in her life if she were given the chance! So heartbreaking what happened to her! 😢
So if she was ugly?💀
RIP Miya. I lived on University Blvd near UCF. And Your story will teach so many of us single woman living on our own to always watch our backs and others.
She was absolutely gorgeous and judging from what people seem to say she was a very very good person, it's a damn shame that stuff like this happens to people, I will never understand what a person is thinking when abducting someone, such an awful loss,I feel for the family and will be in my prayers.
My apartment complex is literally next door to Miya apartment and I still can’t believe this happen. God bless her family and anyone who loved her😢
That’s scary !! Is her apartment rented again?
@@smellycat264 yikes
What makes a person so obsessed that he's willing to kidnap and murder somebody who doesn't want him to begin with?
I can only imagine having to live right next Miya i would have shed tears every time!
Wow
Thank you for reporting her story and Miya’s Law.
I think about this case all the time, it’s such a sad situation 🥺
I remember having a similar situation happen to me. I noticed someone had been in my apartment while I was away at work or gone for the weekend , the Maintenance man had been in my apartment as soon as I got paid I called ADT and bought two cameras. When the people that own my building found out they tried to evict me because ADT INSTALLED the alarm system but it was wireless so it was no drilling involved when the lady who owns the building came out she heard my story and fired the maintenance man and told me I could keep my camera and Alearm system.
Mann.!.!
What is the name of the ADT alarm system you bought? I want to look into this!
@@bethelight3017
I second that
The worst way to die is by murder. So sad for this girl she was so petite 😢
Yes,so small, she never had a chance
This is the first time I’ve heard her story and omg, how heartbreaking!
And scary! It made me think of how about a year ago, my apartment complex got new owners who brought in new workers to redo some of the empty apartments.. One day I was home alone with my 1 year old and me door just randomly opened and this middle-aged, Guatemalan man walked in. He was surprised to see me sitting right there in my apartment and after I asked him what he’s doing he kind of played it off like he must have been confused about which apartment he was supposed to go work in. Looking back, I realize how the apartment that he “meant” to go in, had workers in and out for a few weeks at that point. How did HE not know which apartment was the right one? Unfortunately, me feeling so un-easy, and nervous, and not wanting to be “mean” led to me having a “friendly” conversation with him.. he even asked me for a cigarette which he smoked while asking me if I needed anything fixed in my apartment. At some point I felt uncomfortable enough that I knew to mention I was married. THEN he started saying things like “does your husband know how lucky he is to have you?”. I was shocked and didn’t know how to react at the time.. I just awkwardly laughed and THANKED HIM! I actually thanked him. Being a woman, it can be so frightening to aggressively tell a man that he’s out of line and unfortunately, we end up being too nice. Since I was being so polite, it really was so hard to get rid of him.. it seemed like it took forever. I even texted my husband “hurry get back here” during the time he was standing there talking. Luckily, although this wasn’t the last time my door randomly opened when I was home alone, it WAS the last time he ever came inside. At least that I know of.
But thank God it didn’t lead to anything like this happening. My prayers are with this family and any family that has ever had to go through something like this 💔
Wow! I would have been soooo scared like you were. You can not let down your guard for 1 damn minute these day's! It can happen anywhere anytime but apartments hire the most vile men just because they can hit a nail on the head! No vetting whatsoever. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR 2ND AMENDMENT! BEFORE THEY TAKE IT AWAY FROM US!!! Go to the range and get acquainted with your little friend!
Yikes!!!!
I just subscribed these stories don’t get enough mainstream media that’s a shame 😢
Whoever hired him needs to be held accountable! They have blood on their hands !
Definitely
The family has sued Arden Villas and whoever their headquarters are.
ABSOLUTELY YOUR SO ON POINT
I totally agree!!
This will never not be heartbreaking. Grace and Prayers to her family.
Nah you think !?
I’m about to move into an apartment and I’m scared. The world is just so evil these days. There’s more bad than good and people who are unhinged. I don’t want to be exposed so I’m definitely going to be doing some things to protect myself and my child. Omg, this is so sad. Such a young, beautiful girl that had more life to live.
To all my fellow men. We need to do better these monsters live among us in the form of co workers uncles brothers fathers. How many more innocent women will be a victim it’s up to us to be vigilant and look out for any woman whether you know her or not. Prayers to Miyas family it breaks my heart she’ll never get to graduate, career, marriage, children 😞🙏🏽
Creeps are always lurking, always be on guard.
You got that right. Sometimes though u do EVERYTHING AN ANYTHING AND STILL THINGS GO WRONG
and practice self defense shooting at the range. get a cpl, and don't hesitate to protect your life if need be.
Exactly
She was on guard. That’s what makes it all the more tragic.
@@CutiePie_Leah16 Murphy's Law
She was so beautiful. RIP Miya
I had a guy who helped deliver my furniture come back later that night to my home. I was mortified! I screamed get away from my door, I have a gun. Thank God that was enough to scare him away. I can't believe how crazy ppl are these days.
Oh no. I hope you reported him to the furniture company. I would even file a police report. That is totally unacceptable.
@OneSweetDay489 At that time, I was in my 20s and kinda didn't know what to do. I called my husband, who was my new boyfriend at that time, and he was there to protect me overnight. He also suggested calling the furniture store, which I did the very next morning when they opened. The owner had a conversation with the employee, who explained that he was sorry and that he just liked me and wanted to initiate more convo. At that time, I accepted it for what it was and, luckily, the employee never came back. However, as an older and mature adult, that never made sense because they delivered during the day and had my number, so there were other opportunities and avenues to reach out rather than showing up to someone's house at 9-10 at night.
So so sorry for your loss my heart hurts and prayers are with family and friends.🙏🏽
I am so sorry for this families loss. Her smile looks so much like LaLa Anthony. Im praying for the family!
I lived at a luxury apt. my next door neighbor was a 95 yr old women (who used to work in the office). She told me that many years before I moved in the apartment across the hall from me. A young lady came home from work and was scalped by someone that used to work at the apartments. Our apartments was right next to the stairwell. The lady survived.
She told me that apartments never changes the locks after tenants move out. That any former employee still can use master keys to enter a dwelling.
Right before covid I worked as an assistant property manager and I can 1000% confirm that the locks are never changed, that keys can be made in the janitors closet, that anyone that works at the apt has access to them.
I have so many freaky apartment stories from working at them and living at them
Please be careful...buy a ring camera, put cameras in your apartment, get an alarm, change all locks, befriend the elderly neighbors (they will always look out for you), and get a gun
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way...............
the way, the truth, & the life

Really
@@JamesThomas-bj8ih duh
@@JamesThomas-bj8ih yes .. this truth is always relevant and never changes
The fact that this all happened less than 10 minutes from my home is so wild.
Miya looks like the type of girl everyone loves, nice to everyone, and overall just a beautiful person inside and out. The best ppl are always taken away too soon💔 rest in paradise pretty girl🕊️🤍
The last place I was just living at my maintenance worker had stolen all of my lace panties. I knew he was there after I had left. I went ahead and told my kids Father/ex husband about what was going on and I asked him could he come stay with the kids and I for a while. I'm so glad he did. I'm so saddened this happened to her. What happened to her could happen to any of us.
So many people failed her and she didn’t deserve to go through that pain , so unfair. I can’t believe they had him right in front of them.. Police act like they do their job but they didn’t do anything..
@@helengazley1123 is that not a lot of people
So painful....I can only imagine what her family and friends are going through. God be with us all🕊
In 1977 a Utah girl named Sharon was killed and raped by the maintenance guy while she slept I don’t understand why this law was not changed prior to this! May her name live forever Miya!😢
damn that shit is krazy smh, i hope all is well with you, make sure to stay safe, alert and always be aware of your surroundings and who you keep around you as you are a beautiful looking woman yourself
She seemed so full of life. That bright and happy smile in every picture. It is such a shame this happened to her. My prayers go out to her family and friends. No one should have to endure this kind of pain. ❤
My 20 year daughter not only goes to that school (UCF) but also lives in apartment dorms just like those. Such a sad story and also scary to think about 😢
Heart breaking!!!! My deepest condolences 💐
So Sad😢😢😢Praying for the family, students, and complex
As an Orlando native this story had me locked in from the moment it hit the news it was all I talked about & all I was watching waiting for new updates.. it’s extremely sickening to see what happened to Miya & her family but especially because the Orlando police treated this case like it was a dog missing or something.. LITERALLY I remember watching the family lawyer came out & said that when the first police came the apartment a security guard said they found finger prints on Miyas windows where the locks were broken & the cop literally said “ We won’t need that this is not a high profile case “ smfh it boils my blood every time I think about it… the lawyer also stated that there’s evidence that Armando did not act alone & the police also did nothing to arrest the other people involved on the case but it’s all because for one the police doesn’t care about us minorities & two there lazy they don’t wanna deal with an investigation & three this is Orlando Florida home of Disney world.. don’t understand wat I mean by that well again because Disney is in central Florida they literally own central Florida so they control everything & they can’t have that kind of scandal going on that there’s multiple people out here walking the streets connected to a college girls murder, it would affect the tourism which would effect there money which would effect the tax payers money which would effect the police ITS ALL CONNECTED & they were not going to let that happen. NOT TO MENTION it wasn’t even the Orlando police that found her body!!! THE FAMILY connected all the news outlets & blew the story up so much that the FBI got involved & the FBI were the ones that found Miyas body because Orlando police were perfectly fine leaving the case as a missing person because there’s hope in a missing persons case but a homicide that’s a scandal they didn’t want but that’s why the FBI came in & finished the job but the corners office is ran by the Orlando police department & the family stated they were not satisfied with the i’ll results so they got there own private one done somewhere i’m pretty sure we’ll find out the results when the family takes the apartment complex to court I’m patiently awaiting that trial ‼️ rip Miya I believe justice will be survived on this earth or by the lord.
What you said is like revelation to me, I live in Orlando and I just am so shocked and I have never thought of it this way. Thank you for sharing this because this is so true. Disney does run this area. I am in shock because I never thought of it this way how they will only treat high profile cases is crazyyyy . So sad.
I once saw his cousin comment on a post on FB trying to defend him, sick. I messaged him and said who was the other person? Instead of defending this demon u shud be helping the police . He flipped out saying the police knows everything already and there was no other person , supposedly .
She was my cousin.. 😢
It’s insane that we can go through the strides of life completely unaware of others evil intentions. Her life just began..Rest in peace Miya❤️
Never know what evil is following us
This is the upmost terrifying worry that a parent has when their child leaves the home. My heart and prayers go out to this beautiful lady's family. 🙏
My daughter attends UCF and lives in a sister community of Arden Villas. It's shocking to me, having seen the number of students wandering around that he could have gotten her out of the apartment without SOMEONE seeing! People are literally everywhere at all hours. He found that tiny gap where he was able to. Really unfortunate nobody saw. #RIP Miya
The officers investigating Miya’s case should be ashamed of themselves. Letting go of the person of interest just cause he voluntarily decided to go back to the complex to assist them blah blah
No car search whatsoever
Family members of Miya took matters into their own hands n saw him with a blanket that belonged to them 🤦♀️ these officers
They had him but let him go and look what happened guilt was eating him up so bad he took his own life. GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY
Idc if they needed her body first before they could arrest him or whatever. They still should’ve done MORE
At the very least, they could've detained him for questioning. Sadly if I remember correctly, Miya was already gone, when he showed back up at 4am at the complex.
@@charomejia-gm4yx exactly! Like do something, but it’s as though they couldn’t careless tbh.
He was very much obsessed with her
couldn’t take no for an answer. What a sicko
They didn't care she wasn't white they broke their neck for gabby peitito
This completely changed my perspective. When I move into my own place I’m changing the knobs. This is just crazy insane. She was pretty and had a lot going for her. Condolences to her loved ones ❤
My deepest condolences and prayers for strength and unity🙏🏽🙏🏽
So heartbreaking
Heartbreaking!! Such a beautiful soul gone too soon! 💔🙏🏻 praying for healing for this family!
They give these strange men jobs without doing extensive background checks etc but will deny a single mother like myself over a misdemeanor… I personally know this young lady family and this had me and still has me in a chokehold! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I agree, I’m a young mom who stole from target in 2019. I was only 22 then I’m now turning 27 and this misdemeanor shows up on my record of course. I always over explain myself and worry. That one mistake has cost me a lot then there’s ducking creeps like this loser.
@@damnafricawuthappenif you don’t mind me asking how did you get caught and how has it affected you?
I live in SWFL & have followed this case since the beginning. I think about her and her family often! She was gorgeous and deserved to live her life.
I totally agree with you
One thing about me.. when someone makes me uncomfortable I'm leaving.. because I've heard stories like this!! Obsessed men scare me
I break down in tears anytime I hear Miya’s story. It’s so just heartbreaking
