    Thank you for coming back. What you do matters. I don’t even like children. Seriously. You’ve made me more empathetic. You’ve made me pay attention more.

      @@jdr9419 No. It’s just my nature. It would be like telling everyone they should like dogs. Some people don’t. I’m a great aunt to my nephews though. I’d take a bullet for the guys. But when they were kids, I wasn’t very interactive. I wasn’t unkind. We’ve discussed it. They have no lingering issues. Kids just aren’t my thing.

    What an unfathomably strong mum, it’s humbling to hear the work she has done. She did not let that man take ALL of her daughter. You can hear that she’s carried Joan with her, every step she’s taken - that monster can’t seperate sweet Joan from the love of her mother.

    Joan's story is eerily similar to that of Marica Trimble's. Both got murdered while delivering Girl Scout cookies and their bodies both found on Easter. Marica's murder happened 2 years later in 1975 in Tennessee.

    Such a tragic case, the mother is incredibly strong. It was nice to hear Joans story and her voice to be told, I think it's a very good thing if you do decide to cover cases of strangers murdering children. Yes, it is uncommon, but it's definitely still very real, terrifyingly enough.

      @@Joans_joyI mean if you read what I said I never claimed she exaggerated anything ? Put on Patrion (which I’ve been a donator for months now) she mentioned that the next case she was going to release she was taking extra time on because it was a rough case and was affecting her. I don’t see how this case was particularly more cruel than normal, she also said it as very hard to hear. In the end, most of the cases she covers are far more cruel than this one.

      By no means did I mean to sound mean towards your mental health at all.
      But on both Patreon you mentioned that the next case was particularly difficult and on the beginning of this video you mentioned it was extra cruel, the reality is that it isn’t. I mean realistically even I ( I’m sure you can find my own case, it was in the local news and all) have been through more cruelty than what happened. Not saying it isn’t sad but it was quick. I just find saying this was particularly cruel just because someone who wasn’t a care giver did it invalidates those who were systematically and long term tortured
      Then again, I could just be desensitized to it, considering I do listen to your videos just because they make me feel better, there’s something about the validation that comes from knowing you survived things that others didn’t. Again, I didn’t mean to insult you. I’ve been a follower for years and began Patreon as soon as I could.

      OK I didn't know that, I think its likely that all of the cases effect her. Maybe this one she got to know Joan better because of the amount of material she read and talking to my mother , maybe that it was a Stanger. Just because she said it was affecting her doesn't mean the others didn't.
