There is honestly no difference in production quality between LEMMiNO and yourself. For a brand new channel that is truly incredible. Keep up the amazing work!
Buddy was like “ yeah the boy died blood coming out probably ended up on a newspaper nothing big” other dude was like “oh scott right?” Then buddy dipped never to be seen again.
Yea, it’s a pretty good set up for a fake. That’s why I don’t mess with Reddit, too much speculation and it takes away from people actually telling real life experiences. You can never know what’s fake or real for certain, can be interesting, but mostly looking for answers that aren’t there.
@@melancholynoynek9365 that could happen on any internet platform, the difference is Reddit has a reward system for those with the most interesting comments. Their award system has become so dumb, like why do people pay money to give out meaningless internet awards to other people? One of them even costs like $40 or something... When it was only just a gold award it was okay because they needed a source of income to keep the site running. Karma is also a dumb concept, imagine TH-cam giving you internet points for getting high amounts of likes on comments or videos... Easily abused. Edit: Wtf now they have one that costs $120. Actually so fucking dumb..
That's so crazy that someone could make some really vague, nearly detail-free murder confession and somebody could come along and straight name drop the kid that is likely to be the victim like that
unironically the gov does that all the time, they afaik mostly target domestic extremist movements (from the gov pov of extreme obviously and at one point mlk was in this category to them along with the kkk) they just recently busted a plot to kidnap the michigan governor by egging people on
When I was 13 I saw someone get talked out of jumping off of a cell tower. The negotiator told him to slowly climb down the rungs and on the first step he took to climb down the wind pushed him off balance and fell to his death. It was horrifyingly disturbing. God rest his soul.
@@andybear6617 Yeah I can't imagine that feeling. I'm pretty certain you can find the video somewhere, it was on the news but don't want to give out too much more information as to the severity of the situation.
@@finished6267 Not okay with the outcome but I'm doing okay with it overall. I'm almost 23 now and have seen similar things in the field of work I'm in, almost callous to it.
Goofy gosh did you ever think that people share ideas, there a limit on combination of words in English language and eventually people will have over lap. Not everyone has time to search the entire internet just so you can check that your comment isn’t the same.
it doesn't feel like they killed him, he was up high throwing things at them, it was just an accident. but i guess actually seeing it happen would give a sense of guilt
@@ceebee3083 why would no one believe them? Accidents happens all the time. Him falling down is more likely than a couple of 9 year olds murdering their friend.
It depends on what "things get fuzzy" means. The post didn't mention anything between the points "he was up there and we ran towards him" and "he was falling". "Things get fuzzy" could also mean: "We had a fight at the edge of the cliff"...
@subcomandante marcos wouldn't they have faced some form of repercussions, even as kids? That's one of the reasons why I think they didn't do anything to help him.. they probably thought them chasing towards him accidentally caused him to slip and fall, leading to his death. That and the fact that teens, in general are assholes.
@@CIubDuck exactly. Personally, I find the story very plausible.. how does no one see dude deleting his account so quick as fishy but there are many, on this comment section alone, that are willing to jump through hoops & flimsy theories of how this might be a fabricated story? TH-cam detectives will call anything bullshit.
I’m guessing the redditor lied, but when a similar real case was brought up he deleted it cause he didn’t wanna accidentally confess to a murder he didn’t commit
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 must also still be going through guilt. it would be a traumatic experience and none of them could ever discuss it with anyone who could help them work through it
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 when i was like 5 or 6, in the video library i grabbed 1 or 2 candies cuz i thought it was for free lol. It wasnt. Was worth like 1buck? not even 1 buck back in the 90s but what i wanna say is: I agree, kids really feel bad if they did something stupid. So likely they tried to forget as best as possible to not get judged by lawyers. (prison)
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 yea i did practically the same thing when i was 11. Me and my friends, like dumbasses, used to throw rocks on peoples roof to scare them. We were so stupid, one time i threw one on this guys house on my friends street and instead of hitting the roof, it hit a car mirror. I didnt walk or ride down that street for almost a year. So yea, i was pretty scared lmao
On the video , there was some reporting from newspapers that detailed the date as last day of school... Can't bother find at which point or if i m recalling correctly even... But i could see how the kids hauled up and just stayed away... I mean , no mobile phones , no internet , just TV/radio back in those days. The missing kid was 9... How much older would the "bullies" be? It's possible he doesn't know what happened to the boy... It's possible he lied... It's possible if he wasn't much into the group of kids , that the core group of kids decided to go back and hide the body somehow... Everything is possible , and just as likely scenarios. The fact that the body didn't get found rotting in the coming years is kinda weird though...
@@arditm2178 if the redditor was in fact involved with this particular case I have very little doubt that at least one child told someone and that something was done to hideaway the body. If one of the children that were at fault for the "accident" told their parent and was from a family that would not want the publicity of it then it would have been easy for a parent to have been shown the location and have had a hand in removing or displacing the evidence.
@@LaraUAE Small towns. Thousands of children die in the US every day. About 2,300 kids go missing in the us every single day. How many do you know about that went missing yesterday?
As the older brother of a mentally handicapped 8 year old this breaks my heart. I hear stories like this and it freaks me out that I cant always be with him and keep him safe 100% of the time.
It's heartbreaking how cruel this world could be to the people we most should protect as a society. This story is certainly an outlier, but i understand how unnerving it could be for someone with a sibling or child with special needs
@Tick wRoT - Why did you put the word 'mysteries' in quotes? Are you implying that these aren't actual mysteries he's talking about or do you just not understand how to use quotation marks? These are real mysteries and they involve real people in case you incorrectly thought this was all fabricated just for the sake of entertainment.
@@EdwardDavian1 my best guess is that they have enough info. to that they aren't as much of a mystery? idk, could probably just be that he doesn't know how to use quotations lol
Maybe you are just the incredibly sensitive one. 450k people watched this video lets say %75 read the comments and only 1.5k liked your comment. You are just the weak minded one
MrZombiePulse by “completely decay” do you mean that the bones will be gone too?? because if so that’s not true, there have been cases where bones have been found years later
@@AlexTheCrayChick the bones must have been buried. Somehow, his body must have been hidden away from the public forever. Either someone did it themselves or his body was washed away.
The issue with this case would be the fact that the area floods horribly each year - and I mean to the roof on buildings and sometimes over the highway - and the flooding usually stretches over 50 miles and lasts like 2 months. I wouldn't be surprised if the poor child's remains are in the Mississippi or Missouri river.
The worst part is...when they develop an area the remains of a six year old child can easily be missed when bulldozers, front end loaders and backhoes are digging in the ground to RELOCATE the soil. I recall a time when they developed an area that once had over 500 acres of livestock farms and trust me when I say animal bones do indeed get relocated. If noticed during any stage of the development process (including but not limited to soil relocation process) then work is halted to ensure they are in fact animal and not human remains. So, there is a good chance the soil from that particular area could have been relocated hundreds of miles away.
I cannot be the only one to think that the person that deleted his account isn't guilty for the death, "He Fell", the 3 kids didn't push him or kill him, he fell, the only thing they are guilty about is that they didn't confess they saw him but they wouldn't have got into trouble for it, they were kids, propably scared of what they saw.
I definitely don't think they were responsible for the boy's death at all, unless he's lying, but I doubt it. The only thing they're guilty of is being slight bullies, and not telling anyone about his fall.
@@User-gx3sr I think so, but it depends what they did and how far they went. Usually you don't see an actual murder charge unless the crime is gruesomely violent and it's 100% obvious the child knew what they were doing. Even then, they often are granted parole and new identities as adults. In this case, I don't think there's enough evidence of malice to charge them with anything.
Kids tend to not tell anything indeed. I have similar event in the past when my friend (my junior in my elementary school) drowned in sea and died while playing with my other friends (I am not there). When they knew my junior was drowned, they went home and told nothing about it until the body of my junior has been found. I personally witnessed the body, the body was swollen and turned purple and his mouth 'spit' (because it showed like he is alive and try to spit) water continuously. When they saw the body, then one of them told his mother about that tragic event while crying. He said he was too scared to tell anybody and he said it happened around 3 days earlier (I have vague memory about the exact days, but the body is not yet destroyed). Maybe if the body was never found, they still keep quiet about it and resume their life without talking about it.
The first hand account is so chilling as a kid there were several times where one of us would get hurt and as soon as blood was seen it would get so quiet and everyone would do the look like r we gonna say anything or stay silent
I totally remember being at camp as a little kid and my friends finding a razor and one girl tried to shave and cut her leg open and we all decided to say she just fell because we were afraid to get in trouble ... weird what kids do
@@RebeccaGomezToronto we don't know what we should do we didn't really understands responsibilities and we don't want to get our friend and ourself on trouble, lying is just the only way we know would work because we're a child
WTF I literally grew up playing at Fox Hill Park everyday, and I never knew about this. I would walk there after school and play around in the woods and lakes until it got dark. I can literally see my old house in the picture on the map. This is crazy, I can’t believe I never knew about this :((
Did it ever occur to anyone, that someone just searched up old missing person cases, read the specifics, then reverse engineered a falsified story of murder to troll a bunch of people on Reddit? I mean anyone could do this at any time, as long as an AskReddit about it comes up. I mean how perfect that a random person out of all the missing disabled child cases in the 80s would bring up the only case that very conveniently aligns to be plausible for this story.
@@juniornisthal2216 It would probably take less time to pick out a random missing persons case and reverse engineer a story than it would for all the reddit detectives to track down all the details of the case and surrounding land.
but what are the odds that someone knows that cold case, can link it to your comment, is on that askreddit thread etc. its like such a big easter egg. i think this is real
@@spjr99 I could look up a cold case, right this moment.. then on an Askreddit thread about my 'deepest regret' mimic a story that reflects the cold case.. it would be super super fucking easy
When I was 16 I was hanging out with a bunch of friends in an abandoned walgreens. This homeless older drunk man confessed to accidentally hitting someone in a dwi hit and run. He never got caught but he gave up driving ever since and became homeless. The man kept retelling this and other stories, making me realize he probably had altziemers. This was sad...
That’s sad man I saw a story somewhere on reddit where this family was a church and just has they where getting out a little girl started jogging toward their car but the guy backing up didn’t see her and ended up killing her it fucked him up he swore to never drive again and got serious ptsd
@cromwell2007 When did she mention that she was ever in any danger? Just because someone is homeless doesn't automatically mean that they are Rapists & Murderers. You've probably just lived a very sheltered life.
There can never be too many of these types of channels on TH-cam. I have an insatiable need for mysteries, especially ones revolving around the internet.
Clearly the original story by the redditguy and the actual missing kid story are totally unrelated. Clearly the original guy has no idea what happened to the kid they left behind and even says they started playing again at that place a month later, while in the actual missing kid story the whole town was up in roar a couple hours later, helicopters flying about, everyone looking STILL to this day too, police investigating. I'm mean all those kids have parents who of course knew where their kids have built their little fort even though the kids think its a super secret special base far far away into the deep jungle. So if the kid who fell and the kid who went missing were the same, the kid who ran WOULD have known about it.
I grew up in the 80s and they still did missing children reports on the news and looked for missing kids. The OP sounded like he was lying as soon as he said no one covered the news story. Hell, the Unsolved Mystery host--one of the most popular shows on tv at the time--had lost his son to a serial killer. And we had missing kids on milk cartons..... Since when did people NOT look for missing children? LOL!
Perhaps finding as many people possible who were children living in that area at the time and speaking with them now that time has passed, might uncover something that no one wanted to admit as children. As an adult, understanding it was accidental and that the family deserves closure, I would think someone would want to come forward.
President of the Secrete Sankcake Server I don’t think they would terrorize someone for something that they did as children also the case is really old so
@@ratherande You seem to have way too much faith in the internet. You can't even talk sometimes on the net without someone twisting what you said and then people using that against you for years.

I think its more likely the OP made the post with the intention of deleting the account as soon as he posted it just to be safe. It’s entirely possible that the OP never even saw the comment asking about Scott but because he deleted it so quickly people assumed that this highly rated comment had been the catalyst as the account was deleted long before they had come across the thread.
@@herewasbob7650 because I’m not making assumptions and i have nearly a decade of experience on reddit as my evidence for how people go about posting things they don’t want to be traced back to them.
Bigger plot-twist: Getting hit in the head from that height somehow corrected his mental illness after being washed away in the rain DC comic book style. Scott wakes up to find he had attained "super-sanity" and uses his disappearance to his advantage.
the amount of detail given and another person tying a name to it already is a red flag. they can easily pull OPs IP address is authorities truly needed it
I know I've heard this story before on another channel, but I like the editing on this video better. It doesn't come off as trying to be "2spoopy4me" as much while still being interesting.
And it doesn't waste your time like some of those other "spoopy" channels tend to do. Just get to the dang point for crying out loud. Thank you, Barely Sociable.
I agree. Theres this one channel thats similar to this one (she does a lot of reddit mysteries) and its awful. She does no research, and its so frustrating
This is scarily normal for children. Children who have done something terrible go back to acting like nothing shortly after, either because they're too scared to do anything else; because they're in denial or because it seems normal to them. In this case it seems like the poster was too scared to get in trouble to mention it - which he really should've. Poor family losing their kid like this is horrible.
Caitlin McNulty there’s a really good example of this in the book “Paper Towns” when Quinten and Margot see the dead man in the park and don’t really know what to do
@@kennabeeplays I'd actually disagree because I really liked the movie. As someone who read the book you would probably know more about it haha. But I just like watching films, never all that into the book lol.
Is it possible that the boy was still living after impact and managed to drag himself away, disorientated by the storm? Kids have an understandable tendency to exaggerate traumatic memories after all. I don’t know, just an idea.
@@doofus2157 not if there was a landslide and the body was buried beneath. They wouldn't have suspected the area because the scent gets carried due to the storm and they end up looking somewhere else.
My heart aches for that boy's family. I sincerely hope the child in that post wasn't Scott, but it it was... I hope they can put his body to rest soon.
I was about to say that an anonymous confession to the area LEA by OP would be a good start considering he & his friends didn't kill or hurt him. But considering how Scott was never found, maybe they'd want him to help locate the area. There's a small chance this was just some anonymous a-hole finding a case & faking a confession to delete his account after a user figured out the victim, but... I don't think that's the case. It's sad that none of the other boys ever came forward as they grew up. Makes me wonder how many other vanishings could be solved if witnesses of extortionless accidents stepped up--which is easy to say, of course, but these guys may worry about a trial, evidence, or media exposure putting their family & children at risk. By 'evidence,' I just have to include the dark possibility that at least one of OP's friends (if not OP) did something like hit Scott in the head hard enough to leave lasting evidence to the skeleton. Just because we're 'positive' something couldn't possibly have lasted that long underground, doesn't mean OP does.
OP said things get fuzzy up to when he fell, so they're probably not confident that the kid wasnt pushed. They were all kids, and they might have meant to just hurt him but killed him. Imagine living with that for 30 years and never being able to say a word, or even just living with the uncertainty. That would be absolute hell.
Plot twist: Some guy just googled a missing person’s case, and gave vague details on the process of the kid’s death, saying they witnessed it but never came forward as a reddit post confession . Then made another account and said the missing person’s name affiliated with the case he googled on said reddit post. Then he deleted the first account to make it seem like he was exposed. So that he could appear mysterious and fool reddit by acting as someone involved with the case.
Could be denial in hopes that one day he'll fly through the door looking healthy and strong despite having disappeared in the woods decades ago. Could be they haven't made the connection, or even heard this story yet.
And play with they're hopes and destroy the faith, based on a recollection that could be tainted? Maybe that wasn't the end of the boy. Who knows... Poor everybody
When I was 4 years old or so I was out playing across in the street with some kids from around the block, there were 2 guys talking across the street and a car pulled up and shot them both and drove away extremely fast in broad daylight and I just stared in shock, my mom came out of the house yelling at me to get inside. Those things stick with you
This isn’t quite the same but when I was a kid we had a neighbor who would come by to just hang out with us mostly for my dad. He was a younger dude like early 20s who definitely took to my dad like his father figure. I vaguely remember him watching over me a few times when I would play outside, also playing with me. I thought he was really cute and had a little girl crush on him. But that’s about it for the memory of him. One day years later when my parents were going down memory lane of where we used to live and the crazy shit that happened there, I asked about the dread headed dude who would come over a lot. My dad told me his brother was murdered by a gang, so he took his own vengeance and killed his murderer. So he’s serving life in prison. It caught me so off guard. Sad stuff.
@@kurzackd it was pretty normal details like age and area he grew up in. And the posts didn't force the info into them. It felt kind of natural. I honestly think this one is real. Although we can't say for sure.
@@blank003 correlation does not equal causation. Just because there were details in his post history, that can suggest that he lives in the general area where the boy disappeared, was aware of the disappearance and he then posted that fake comment to get some notoriety. Occam's razor would suggest that he did in fact make it up since it's easier to make up an internet story than to actually witness a real death. I myself have seen too many internet stories that sounded very convincing until they were later exposed as fake. Take these stories with a grain of salt.
If they ran away after he fell then would it not be possible he wasn't dead? If he had head trauma he could have wondered off dazed and confused and ended up anywhere with the storm erasing any traces of him...
This whole video is predicated on the idea that deleting the video is some kind of admission of fault, but that's not the case. This is clearly unrelated, just on the basis of the distances being talked about and the use of bloodhounds unable to track the body despite the child not being lost in the woods or wandering off, as well as the reality that the body wouldn't have been very easily hidden by the storm given the description of the terrain in the original post. More than likely the reply made the user realize that they had already said too much because any response would simply invite a larger guessing game or worse.
Right on! a child mind usually exaggerates events it doesn't understand, the memories at this point are untrustworthy, and puts OP in a bad light, even though he didn't do anything wrong. There's no evidence the boy died. And the article doesn't mention the dogs were trained to smell blood or corpses. Nothing in this comments makes sense.
At 2:35 he says "We didn't go back for over a month", wouldn't this imply that he did go back? And if he did he would have seen the body and I got the impression that he didn't from the comment as he didn't mention it. But he could have just meant that they returned to the same area or just not have mentioned it in the comment so who knows?
Maybe with the storm and the a cave full of rocks the body got buried underneath the rocks, they were on first grade so maybe they didnt even know what death was
Judging from the picture, and how he said the kid was throwing clumps of dirt at him and then fell to the bottom of it, a big storm would have defiantly triggered a landslide and buried him underneath it.
I guess they could have went with other searchers, as it was a community thing I suppose, and the search lasted a while. I assumed the body was buried in mud or something,
Let's not forget that guy was replying in a thread labeled "To those who have accidentally killed someone...". If it was just an accident and those boys didn't have anything to do with the death, then it's not killing right? It's just an accident. But the thread was aimed at the people who felt guilt of killing. Yeah it might not be an intentional murder, but the boy found their base and was confronting the other kids by saying "make me get down" or something along those lines and started throwing rocks and sticks. The 10 year olds I know would most likely start throwing rocks back. Maybe one of the kids hit him hard enough with a rock to loose his footing or just threw a branch close at his feet so he can step on it on loose his footing. Now if that was the case it would explain the silence and why the guy on reddit deleted his account when the victim name was mentioned.
"it gets fuzzy" It's probably him not wanting to admit there was an altercation that caused the fall. As 80 kids if someone is in your fort hucking dirt at you, youre gonna be doing at least aome kind of roughness. "all I remember is he fell" Sure
This. I lived in a condo complex for a couple of years when I was 9-10. At the far end was a large hill/small mountain and a valley that was between us and another condo development. The kids from both had hideouts and forts built in the woods, and would always tear down the other's. We only ran into the the kids in from the other development a few times, but every time it ended in some pretty serious physical violence.
that kind of thing is a trauma response. for some when experiencing something traumatic they can get dissociative amnesia making the event seem hazy with only a few stand out details. This isn't uniform amongst everyone, of course, but it does happen.
Hey man, I've just spent my day watching all of your content after having just discovered you today. The level of research you put in is excellent and your perspectives on the subject matter are very well informed as a result, making for super enjoyable and easy to watch videos. If I had to leave any advice all I'd say is maybe try to fill the visual gaps between evidence and source material; the moving backdrop is alright for digesting what you're saying, but considering this is in video format I think keeping eyes on your video (even just showing evidence from earlier) is good for holding viewer interest. I hope that made sense/was helpful, keep up the good work man : )
I don't know if I believe they're connected. We had areas we played in like that as children as well. They didn't become raging rivers when there was a storm, they'd just turn into big muddy messes, full of puddles. Not enough to sweep a body away or cover it enough to where it wouldn't be found if looked for. The girl said she saw him playing on the mound, so I'm sure they searched the last place he was seen, and the boys said they didn't go back there for a month. When they went back they didn't see a body, I'm assuming? Just doesn't fit to me.
what this whole thing hinges on is the fact that the user deleted his account as soon as someone brought up Scott's name. why would he delete his account. if it really wasn't Scott, he could have just said no or even said nothing and it wouldnt be a big deal...why did he delete his account?
That's not how flash flooding works. You can have areas of low elevation surrounded by higher elevation that don't see anything more than "puddles" as you say for a decade or more. Then a super cell drops hundreds of millions of gallons in 20-50 sq mile and the same areas turn into raging rivers capable of upturning trees, small structures, ripping apart roads and deforming the landscape.
@@ianmcandrew7893 I've deleted accounts or posts that I realized later might compromise my anonymity on forums where I've posted sensitive stuff (i haven't killed anyone that i know of but I've posted things that make people mad) Like they probably didn't realize exactly what they were signing up for when they posted that story If they'd left it up, from then on every websleuths reader who knew of a kid with disabilities going missing would ask if that was the kid they killed, etc. Like if you aren't ready to deal with what you did then you're going to bail
I hate to be this guy, but carnivorous and omnivorous animals often scavenge carcasses. I heard a story of a farmer who got caught in his combine drive shaft and his wife didn't find out until the dogs started bringing back body parts.
Track? Track for what? For a confession with vague information that nobody even sure if the user is being honest or just trolling around? No sane admisistrators would disclose their users' ip address over some random claim like that.
Am I missing something? The initial Reddit post never mentioned the boy going missing and never being found. In fact it's incredibly vague. I don't really see any connection if I'm honest.
I strongly agree with your hypothesis, the way you laid it out at the end made it seem likely, but there was one inconsistency you left out, which for me actually cements the OP's story as legit. The OP claimed to not have any knowledge of what happened after the incident, he claimed that there was _probably_ some local story about an accident. To me it would be incredible for anyone to not be curious about the aftermath of an incident like this, and I'm sure anyone who made an incident like this up WOULd give details on what happened after. I'm quite certain that he left out the details of the search party and the still missing status of Kleechultee in order to stay anonymous, and if it was all fake he would have just carried on making something up.
I really doubt he would have known that as a kid, they and their families were not friends. It even give me the impression someone "manipulated" his memories, or he just block them, except for the sound hehe. Who knows, except a mental health professional that threats him, what happen back then.
@@melonangie I don't think anyone 'manipulated' his memories, when something traumatic happens to a person the brain chooses to block out the memory to protect you.
“ayo you talkin about that Scott dude that died?” *”no, i am gonna leave”* yummy 400+ likes, also i don’t care if people don’t find this funny lmao, i commented this 3 months ago
I hope somebody contacted the police on this lead.. I would but my social anxiety wouldn't let me. Buuut I could totally see the police ignoring this vague lead and not following through with a search, sadly. They've been known to ignore stuff posted on the internet before, unless it's very obvious (such as a killer posting the body online which happens somewhat frequently, sadly) or just digging through their suspect's social media. But somewhat vague leads that appear on the internet? They've been known to discount them before even looking into it...I guess the best bet for helping the family find closure is a group interested in the case doing an independent search for the remains. Off topic, but I'm so glad I found your channel!!! The quality of your videos is phenomenal and very professional!! Keep up the good work and your channel will blow up soon!!
Why are you talking like you know how police task works and have experience with it? All you know is the vague opinion you got from others that police do not take on these clues.
It's heartbreaking to know they had hope he was just missing and they've made those digital age differences in efforts for anyone to find him but he actually died that night and no one was ever able to recover his body because of the horrible storm.
As someone who lives near St. Charles MO I'm super surprised I've never heard anything about this seems like something people would make ghost stories about. Great video!
Michael Devlin was my pizza delivery man and lived a block away from me while holding Shawn Hornbeck for several years. I still can’t believe the time my family ordered IMO’s and I opened the door to Michael Devlin as, like, a 6 year old girl. Gives me the creeps to this day...

Weird being recommended this video. I literally live in that neighborhood. I was listening while falling asleep and things felt weird when I could picture where he was talking about. Literally 4 minutes from my house currently and the first house I grew up in was on KEN Dr. my uncle was friends with the kid who went missing. 🤯
i was 10 in the early 80s and i remember it being standard procedure that when a kid got hurt we typically all ran away to keep from getting in trouble somehow. someone would have told the truth about what happened though so running never saved you from anything. this is a really sad story though, i feel so sorry for what happened to scott.
MysticExile111 ayyyy, yeah. His use of the Silent Hill suits this whole situation, I can see the main character of a Silent Hill game having a similarly dark story.
Imagine being OP and actually telling the truth purposely leaving out the search parties stuff to remain anonymous and someone busts a “This you” just for TH-cam comment sections to say that it’s a hoax and you faked the entire thing for attention after deleting your account.
I’m actually from the St. Charles area (though this is well before my time), extremely saddening to hear about but also majorly intriguing. Great video though, keep up the good work!
"we ganged up around him because he was talking shit about us so we..." *remembering that you knocked him off and he fell to his death* "... um, my memory's kinda fuzzy, he just fell, y'know?"
this is probably a question with an obvious answer but have you considered talking to friends/family who were in the area around the time of scott’s disappearance, if you know anyone that is?
alex time low ive asked people that lived in the area around the time of his disappearance and none of them knew anything about what might have happened, im pretty new to the area but my family has lived here for as long as i can remember. But nothing so far...
Oh my god! I remember this happening! I live in Missouri, in the exact same town this happened in. It freaked everyone out and got a local scare going. Nothing ever came of the scare, obviously. This is crazy, if it's true, which it sounds like it does. This is fucking crazy.
It was good up until we find out that the victim is still alive. That made me go: "What?!" I mean I like when horror/mystery movies have a happy ending but this felt like the writers didn't want the victim to die so they went: "Let's just starve her. Death would be too tragic, especially for the dad."
Love that movie. I consider it the most realistic conspiracy story, and it gives a great message of being mindful of your online comments, and the happy ending is a nice change after consuming too many real life disappearance case stories.
I mean i'd say the fact that they delete their account almost immediately after someone asking it links it well? Additionally them describing the child as someone with learning disabilities, which Scott had. Plus the ravine being nearby.
@@doubledenial8178 Or, if you don't want to be accused for a murder don't go on reddit telling a story which matches a cold case from the same time period with a child that matched his description...
@@Cmarf2 "how dare you tell a fake story without researching to make sure that it doesn't vaguely match a pretty obscure case." It's possible that this guy is to blame but people lie on Reddit all the time
I emailed the Sheriff's office of whatever county that he disappeared from (can't remember offhand) when I first learned of this comment several years ago. I never heard back from them. I wish there was information regarding if they ever followed the lead in some capacity. I'm sure they would have, but it'd be neat to read about it.
What if the cliff eroded from the big storm and the body was buried several feet immediately after his death, given it was a cliff like the one pictured. Then it could be possible his body was paved or built over in the following years making it pretty much impossible to find
As a parent of an autistic child this is probably one of my top three biggest fears I am a helicopter parent and so is my wife it's exhausting but we love him so much he's non-verbal and has a tendency to run away I can't imagine how much the parents punish themselves for this i literally started crying thinking about my baby being there dying alone and scared why do people have to be so awful to others
This sounds more like a David Paulides Missing 411 story. Where someone goes missing and then the weather interrupts when they are searching for the missing person.
My father grew up in the same neighborhood as Scott. He used to always tell me about how he went missing and how it was one of the most vivid memories of his childhood......
It's pretty convenient that "It gets a bit fuzzy here, but he fell" yet he can recount the rest of the story just fine. After hearing about the story the second time, the gravity of this situation has really sunken in & I realize him & his friends might have accidentally killed this boy or even pushed him & it's sus bc why else would he delete his account as soon as someone identifies his name plus it seems like he's a lot more guilty than just simply not reporting it. It makes me sad knowing this was just a first grader that died & these were 11-12 year-old children that were involved. (Edit) I have to note: isn't it sus that he said there was barely any news coverage when in fact there was tons, it gives me the vibe that he didn't want people snooping around for info but I do hope we hear an update in the future that the family is contacted about the OP & the post.

@@ceebee3083 why would no one believe them? Accidents happens all the time. Him falling down is more likely than a couple of 9 year olds murdering their friend.
It depends on what "things get fuzzy" means. The post didn't mention anything between the points "he was up there and we ran towards him" and "he was falling". "Things get fuzzy" could also mean: "We had a fight at the edge of the cliff"...
@subcomandante marcos wouldn't they have faced some form of repercussions, even as kids? That's one of the reasons why I think they didn't do anything to help him.. they probably thought them chasing towards him accidentally caused him to slip and fall, leading to his death.

I’m guessing the redditor lied, but when a similar real case was brought up he deleted it cause he didn’t wanna accidentally confess to a murder he didn’t commit

He points out that he didn't know what happened to the boy after they left, but the full scale search probably would have been noticeable
yeah, that's what i'm confused. if there was a search going on about a kid their age, i sincerely doubt they wouldn't find out about it.
On the video , there was some reporting from newspapers that detailed the date as last day of school... Can't bother find at which point or if i m recalling correctly even... But i could see how the kids hauled up and just stayed away... I mean , no mobile phones , no internet , just TV/radio back in those days. The missing kid was 9... How much older would the "bullies" be?
It's possible he doesn't know what happened to the boy... It's possible he lied... It's possible if he wasn't much into the group of kids , that the core group of kids decided to go back and hide the body somehow... Everything is possible , and just as likely scenarios. The fact that the body didn't get found rotting in the coming years is kinda weird though...
@@arditm2178 if the redditor was in fact involved with this particular case I have very little doubt that at least one child told someone and that something was done to hideaway the body.

You actually can find dead bodies even decades later. I may pass this along to a HRD handler that's not far away. One of the dogs I bred does this.
Please update when you can!!!!
A typical body will completely decay if left out in the open for a month. Only a month. So probably impossible. Unless he was buried in the storm.
MrZombiePulse by “completely decay” do you mean that the bones will be gone too?? because if so that’s not true, there have been cases where bones have been found years later
@@AlexTheCrayChick the bones must have been buried. Somehow, his body must have been hidden away from the public forever. Either someone did it themselves or his body was washed away.
The issue with this case would be the fact that the area floods horribly each year - and I mean to the roof on buildings and sometimes over the highway - and the flooding usually stretches over 50 miles and lasts like 2 months. I wouldn't be surprised if the poor child's remains are in the Mississippi or Missouri river.

The worst part is...when they develop an area the remains of a six year old child can easily be missed when bulldozers, front end loaders and backhoes are digging in the ground to RELOCATE the soil. I recall a time when they developed an area that once had over 500 acres of livestock farms and trust me when I say animal bones do indeed get relocated. If noticed during any stage of the development process (including but not limited to soil relocation process) then work is halted to ensure they are in fact animal and not human remains.
So, there is a good chance the soil from that particular area could have been relocated hundreds of miles away.
I cannot be the only one to think that the person that deleted his account isn't guilty for the death, "He Fell", the 3 kids didn't push him or kill him, he fell, the only thing they are guilty about is that they didn't confess they saw him but they wouldn't have got into trouble for it, they were kids, propably scared of what they saw.
true, but he has potential valuable information of a missing persons case
I mean of course not they were kids but that's something that will haunt you forever.
I definitely don't think they were responsible for the boy's death at all, unless he's lying, but I doubt it. The only thing they're guilty of is being slight bullies, and not telling anyone about his fall.
Brittney Brisbin even if they did push him, can 9 year olds even be charged with murder?
@@User-gx3sr I think so, but it depends what they did and how far they went. Usually you don't see an actual murder charge unless the crime is gruesomely violent and it's 100% obvious the child knew what they were doing. Even then, they often are granted parole and new identities as adults. In this case, I don't think there's enough evidence of malice to charge them with anything.
Kids tend to not tell anything indeed. I have similar event in the past when my friend (my junior in my elementary school) drowned in sea and died while playing with my other friends (I am not there).
When they knew my junior was drowned, they went home and told nothing about it until the body of my junior has been found. I personally witnessed the body, the body was swollen and turned purple and his mouth 'spit' (because it showed like he is alive and try to spit) water continuously.
When they saw the body, then one of them told his mother about that tragic event while crying. He said he was too scared to tell anybody and he said it happened around 3 days earlier (I have vague memory about the exact days, but the body is not yet destroyed).
Maybe if the body was never found, they still keep quiet about it and resume their life without talking about it.
I’m so sorry you went through that experience.

Clearly the original guy has no idea what happened to the kid they left behind and even says they started playing again at that place a month later, while in the actual missing kid story the whole town was up in roar a couple hours later, helicopters flying about, everyone looking STILL to this day too, police investigating. I'm mean all those kids have parents who of course knew where their kids have built their little fort even though the kids think its a super secret special base far far away into the deep jungle. So if the kid who fell and the kid who went missing were the same, the kid who ran WOULD have known about it.
This is the most reasonable comment here. Since when do thunderstorms wash away human bodies? I read nothing about a river being nearby.

I grew up in the 80s and they still did missing children reports on the news and looked for missing kids. The OP sounded like he was lying as soon as he said no one covered the news story.

There's a small chance this was just some anonymous a-hole finding a case & faking a confession to delete his account after a user figured out the victim, but... I don't think that's the case. It's sad that none of the other boys ever came forward as they grew up. Makes me wonder how many other vanishings could be solved if witnesses of extortionless accidents stepped up--which is easy to say, of course, but these guys may worry about a trial, evidence, or media exposure putting their family & children at risk.
By 'evidence,' I just have to include the dark possibility that at least one of OP's friends (if not OP) did something like hit Scott in the head hard enough to leave lasting evidence to the skeleton. Just because we're 'positive' something couldn't possibly have lasted that long underground, doesn't mean OP does.
This assumes OPs story even links to the given story.
OP said things get fuzzy up to when he fell, so they're probably not confident that the kid wasnt pushed.
They were all kids, and they might have meant to just hurt him but killed him.
Imagine living with that for 30 years and never being able to say a word, or even just living with the uncertainty.
That would be absolute hell.

Plot twist: Some guy just googled a missing person’s case, and gave vague details on the process of the kid’s death, saying they witnessed it but never came forward as a reddit post confession . Then made another account and said the missing person’s name affiliated with the case he googled on said reddit post. Then he deleted the first account to make it seem like he was exposed. So that he could appear mysterious and fool reddit by acting as someone involved with the case.
Literally what I thought too lol. If the guy's story were true at least one of the kids would surely tell something to their parents.
Thats... actually not that far fetched really, being this is reddit and all.
same happened in 4chan, with another stories
Plot twist: you were the one who made and commented on the accounts!
Since the family is till looking for the kid, has anyone ever come forth about how a Redditor possibly revealed his fate?
This is what I've been wondering
Could be denial in hopes that one day he'll fly through the door looking healthy and strong despite having disappeared in the woods decades ago. Could be they haven't made the connection, or even heard this story yet.
And play with they're hopes and destroy the faith, based on a recollection that could be tainted? Maybe that wasn't the end of the boy. Who knows... Poor everybody
I'm sure they know dude...
HOAX
Sounds like a Stephen King novel.
It gives me "The body" (Stand By Me) vibes
dead on!!
When I was 4 years old or so I was out playing across in the street with some kids from around the block, there were 2 guys talking across the street and a car pulled up and shot them both and drove away extremely fast in broad daylight and I just stared in shock, my mom came out of the house yelling at me to get inside. Those things stick with you
Yup..
How the hell weren’t you shot too? Damn 😅
This isn’t quite the same but when I was a kid we had a neighbor who would come by to just hang out with us mostly for my dad. He was a younger dude like early 20s who definitely took to my dad like his father figure. I vaguely remember him watching over me a few times when I would play outside, also playing with me. I thought he was really cute and had a little girl crush on him. But that’s about it for the memory of him.
One day years later when my parents were going down memory lane of where we used to live and the crazy shit that happened there, I asked about the dread headed dude who would come over a lot. My dad told me his brother was murdered by a gang, so he took his own vengeance and killed his murderer. So he’s serving life in prison. It caught me so off guard. Sad stuff.
This is actually incredibly sad...

MC _ DIDDLY Oh awesome! I still have yet to truly read the series. One thing on my bucket list.
It's a terrible situation, but I really like your content here. So much scary things online are planned...this wasn't
how are you so sure? What if the user who posted the thread set it up with the user interjecting in order to stir up drama?
@@kurzackd the details the user used to find the case were posted months before the post. If he did plan it, he had to work for a year to do this.
@@blank003 that only lends more credibility to it being planned...
@@kurzackd it was pretty normal details like age and area he grew up in. And the posts didn't force the info into them. It felt kind of natural. I honestly think this one is real. Although we can't say for sure.
@@blank003 correlation does not equal causation. Just because there were details in his post history, that can suggest that he lives in the general area where the boy disappeared, was aware of the disappearance and he then posted that fake comment to get some notoriety.
Occam's razor would suggest that he did in fact make it up since it's easier to make up an internet story than to actually witness a real death. I myself have seen too many internet stories that sounded very convincing until they were later exposed as fake. Take these stories with a grain of salt.
If they ran away after he fell then would it not be possible he wasn't dead? If he had head trauma he could have wondered off dazed and confused and ended up anywhere with the storm erasing any traces of him...
This is exactly what I think
This whole video is predicated on the idea that deleting the video is some kind of admission of fault, but that's not the case. This is clearly unrelated, just on the basis of the distances being talked about and the use of bloodhounds unable to track the body despite the child not being lost in the woods or wandering off, as well as the reality that the body wouldn't have been very easily hidden by the storm given the description of the terrain in the original post.
More than likely the reply made the user realize that they had already said too much because any response would simply invite a larger guessing game or worse.
Right on! a child mind usually exaggerates events it doesn't understand, the memories at this point are untrustworthy, and puts OP in a bad light, even though he didn't do anything wrong. There's no evidence the boy died. And the article doesn't mention the dogs were trained to smell blood or corpses. Nothing in this comments makes sense.
I agree. This makes no sense. I keep waiting but really, this is reaching.
At 2:35 he says "We didn't go back for over a month", wouldn't this imply that he did go back? And if he did he would have seen the body and I got the impression that he didn't from the comment as he didn't mention it. But he could have just meant that they returned to the same area or just not have mentioned it in the comment so who knows?
Maybe with the storm and the a cave full of rocks the body got buried underneath the rocks, they were on first grade so maybe they didnt even know what death was
Judging from the picture, and how he said the kid was throwing clumps of dirt at him and then fell to the bottom of it, a big storm would have defiantly triggered a landslide and buried him underneath it.
I guess they could have went with other searchers, as it was a community thing I suppose, and the search lasted a while. I assumed the body was buried in mud or something,
You're reading too much in the lost memory of a small kid. They don't think like adults. He just doesn't remember returning.
Luciano Martinez the picture isn’t the actual place, he just said it looks similar to this
That doesn’t sound like a murder, he accidentally lost his footing or grip and fell, if anything it would be involuntary manslaughter
Or just an accident
"it gets fuzzy" isn't a very comforting choice of words
“It gets fuzzy”
Let's not forget that guy was replying in a thread labeled "To those who have accidentally killed someone...". If it was just an accident and those boys didn't have anything to do with the death, then it's not killing right? It's just an accident. But the thread was aimed at the people who felt guilt of killing. Yeah it might not be an intentional murder, but the boy found their base and was confronting the other kids by saying "make me get down" or something along those lines and started throwing rocks and sticks. The 10 year olds I know would most likely start throwing rocks back. Maybe one of the kids hit him hard enough with a rock to loose his footing or just threw a branch close at his feet so he can step on it on loose his footing. Now if that was the case it would explain the silence and why the guy on reddit deleted his account when the victim name was mentioned.

"it gets fuzzy"
It's probably him not wanting to admit there was an altercation that caused the fall. As 80 kids if someone is in your fort hucking dirt at you, youre gonna be doing at least aome kind of roughness.
"all I remember is he fell"
Sure
This. I lived in a condo complex for a couple of years when I was 9-10. At the far end was a large hill/small mountain and a valley that was between us and another condo development. The kids from both had hideouts and forts built in the woods, and would always tear down the other's. We only ran into the the kids in from the other development a few times, but every time it ended in some pretty serious physical violence.
that kind of thing is a trauma response. for some when experiencing something traumatic they can get dissociative amnesia making the event seem hazy with only a few stand out details. This isn't uniform amongst everyone, of course, but it does happen.
Hey man, I've just spent my day watching all of your content after having just discovered you today. The level of research you put in is excellent and your perspectives on the subject matter are very well informed as a result, making for super enjoyable and easy to watch videos. If I had to leave any advice all I'd say is maybe try to fill the visual gaps between evidence and source material; the moving backdrop is alright for digesting what you're saying, but considering this is in video format I think keeping eyes on your video (even just showing evidence from earlier) is good for holding viewer interest. I hope that made sense/was helpful, keep up the good work man : )
I don't know if I believe they're connected. We had areas we played in like that as children as well. They didn't become raging rivers when there was a storm, they'd just turn into big muddy messes, full of puddles. Not enough to sweep a body away or cover it enough to where it wouldn't be found if looked for. The girl said she saw him playing on the mound, so I'm sure they searched the last place he was seen, and the boys said they didn't go back there for a month. When they went back they didn't see a body, I'm assuming? Just doesn't fit to me.
One thing I could think of is that he managed to get out of the area to find help but was meet with another danger
what this whole thing hinges on is the fact that the user deleted his account as soon as someone brought up Scott's name. why would he delete his account. if it really wasn't Scott, he could have just said no or even said nothing and it wouldnt be a big deal...why did he delete his account?
That's not how flash flooding works. You can have areas of low elevation surrounded by higher elevation that don't see anything more than "puddles" as you say for a decade or more. Then a super cell drops hundreds of millions of gallons in 20-50 sq mile and the same areas turn into raging rivers capable of upturning trees, small structures, ripping apart roads and deforming the landscape.
@@ianmcandrew7893 I've deleted accounts or posts that I realized later might compromise my anonymity on forums where I've posted sensitive stuff (i haven't killed anyone that i know of but I've posted things that make people mad)
Like they probably didn't realize exactly what they were signing up for when they posted that story
If they'd left it up, from then on every websleuths reader who knew of a kid with disabilities going missing would ask if that was the kid they killed, etc. Like if you aren't ready to deal with what you did then you're going to bail
I hate to be this guy, but carnivorous and omnivorous animals often scavenge carcasses. I heard a story of a farmer who got caught in his combine drive shaft and his wife didn't find out until the dogs started bringing back body parts.
As a person who struggled with learning disabilities in elementary school, I can't help but feel a little sympathy for Scott.
Well tbh you should feel bad for him anyway, disabilities or not.
Learning disabilities are not necessarily the same to having impaired social skills
Ya think?
That "deleted" reddit account should still be able to be tracked, the IP should still be in the database.
Makoto Itoshi he didnt kill him tho it is just a suicide
@Duglet He was a kid at the time remember
@Duglet Surprisingly it isn't in a lot of states.
@Duglet people have been arrested for helping
Track? Track for what? For a confession with vague information that nobody even sure if the user is being honest or just trolling around? No sane admisistrators would disclose their users' ip address over some random claim like that.

How is your voice so calming yet terrifying at the same time
Am I missing something?
The initial Reddit post never mentioned the boy going missing and never being found.
In fact it's incredibly vague.
I don't really see any connection if I'm honest.
I think the whole mystery comes from deleting the post after a name drop as opposed to the details.
@@jahimuddin2306 Not like that's an admission of fault. It's purely speculation.
he didn’t go missing.
If you get killed and washed away by a storm then of course you go missing lmao
I strongly agree with your hypothesis, the way you laid it out at the end made it seem likely, but there was one inconsistency you left out, which for me actually cements the OP's story as legit.
The OP claimed to not have any knowledge of what happened after the incident, he claimed that there was _probably_ some local story about an accident. To me it would be incredible for anyone to not be curious about the aftermath of an incident like this, and I'm sure anyone who made an incident like this up WOULd give details on what happened after. I'm quite certain that he left out the details of the search party and the still missing status of Kleechultee in order to stay anonymous, and if it was all fake he would have just carried on making something up.
I really doubt he would have known that as a kid, they and their families were not friends. It even give me the impression someone "manipulated" his memories, or he just block them, except for the sound hehe. Who knows, except a mental health professional that threats him, what happen back then.
@@melonangie I don't think anyone 'manipulated' his memories, when something traumatic happens to a person the brain chooses to block out the memory to protect you.

I hope somebody contacted the police on this lead.. I would but my social anxiety wouldn't let me. Buuut I could totally see the police ignoring this vague lead and not following through with a search, sadly. They've been known to ignore stuff posted on the internet before, unless it's very obvious (such as a killer posting the body online which happens somewhat frequently, sadly) or just digging through their suspect's social media. But somewhat vague leads that appear on the internet? They've been known to discount them before even looking into it...I guess the best bet for helping the family find closure is a group interested in the case doing an independent search for the remains.
Off topic, but I'm so glad I found your channel!!! The quality of your videos is phenomenal and very professional!! Keep up the good work and your channel will blow up soon!!
Why are you talking like you know how police task works and have experience with it? All you know is the vague opinion you got from others that police do not take on these clues.
It's heartbreaking to know they had hope he was just missing and they've made those digital age differences in efforts for anyone to find him but he actually died that night and no one was ever able to recover his body because of the horrible storm.
This channel is way too addictive. I love it.

i was 10 in the early 80s and i remember it being standard procedure that when a kid got hurt we typically all ran away to keep from getting in trouble somehow. someone would have told the truth about what happened though so running never saved you from anything. this is a really sad story though, i feel so sorry for what happened to scott.
Props for using the Silent Hill Movie theme! Suited the video perfectly!

This reminds me of that movie “Searching” from last year
It was good up until we find out that the victim is still alive. That made me go: "What?!" I mean I like when horror/mystery movies have a happy ending but this felt like the writers didn't want the victim to die so they went: "Let's just starve her. Death would be too tragic, especially for the dad."
Love that movie. I consider it the most realistic conspiracy story, and it gives a great message of being mindful of your online comments, and the happy ending is a nice change after consuming too many real life disappearance case stories.
your voice brings a lot of comfort! it’s calming and brings a nice atmosphere!
It’s a reach, literally some kid fell down and that was the end of op’s story. Any connections to Scott feel forced.
I mean i'd say the fact that they delete their account almost immediately after someone asking it links it well? Additionally them describing the child as someone with learning disabilities, which Scott had. Plus the ravine being nearby.
The OP wouldn't have reacted the way they did if there was no way it was Scott. Just saying.

Why aren't you in the millions of subs yet
It's pretty convenient that "It gets a bit fuzzy here, but he fell" yet he can recount the rest of the story just fine. After hearing about the story the second time, the gravity of this situation has really sunken in & I realize him & his friends might have accidentally killed this boy or even pushed him & it's sus bc why else would he delete his account as soon as someone identifies his name plus it seems like he's a lot more guilty than just simply not reporting it.
It makes me sad knowing this was just a first grader that died & these were 11-12 year-old children that were involved.
(Edit) I have to note: isn't it sus that he said there was barely any news coverage when in fact there was tons, it gives me the vibe that he didn't want people snooping around for info but I do hope we hear an update in the future that the family is contacted about the OP & the post.
