She dragged the barrel out into the pond-mind you, without stepping in anything or touching the mud-but still made footprints with a second pair of shoes she then ate, hopped on into the barrel, waited to OD or asphyxiated herself while closing the lid. Oh and she did all of this several days after she went missing so her body could look pretty for the open casket.
Either the person who killed her was affiliated with police officially or unofficially, or they really are extremely lazy. But they did more work trying to create a false narrative then they did to follow the one that was very obvious.
I would have sued the police if i was the mom, it's outrageous how poorly they handled the case. It shows the people became police officers to be on the state's payroll and not to their job.
*Police:* “im sorry to inform you ma’am but your daughter passed away” *Mom:* “what, no, how???” *Police:* “she committed suicide. she loaded herself up with semen, put on men’s clothes, dragged a barrel into the water without using her feet or any part of her body really bc she wanted to keep her clothes clean, then hopped inside it and waited for that deadly teaspoon of water to fill up her lungs and kill her. she was also kind enough to close the lid postmortem” *Mom:* “what???” *Police:* “oh also since she’s been dead in the water for like a week she’s in tip top shape so ya know open casket is always an option” *Mom:* “didn’t anything point to foul play???” *Police:* “absolutely not! we know this for a fact bc we all searched the place with our eyes closed!!” *Mom:* “but i-“ *Police:* “suicide”
On point. They should be charged with obstruction of justice. Just c r a z y. Blows my mind. I've been researching quite a lot of cases myself, most of them hallmarked by shitty police work but this one.. Wow. This one made it all the way up to the top of the list. Shame on them.
Christin O oh my gosh you and I think alike lol. Couldn’t have said it better!!!! It’s as bad as “sorry ma’am your son is dead. Mom: oh no! How? Officer: 38 gunshots from 3 different guns then ran over by a car....yep he did it himself. Huh?
they NEED to reopen this case. surely there’s a fingerprint somewhere, dna?! match the clothing/shoe sizes to the volunteers and potential stalkers, match the voice message to the voices of suspects!!!! or maybe the police “lost” all this evidence. UGHHHHHH. she deserves justice.
I mean there was DNA but whoops!!! we lost that!!! and we gave the mother back clothes her daughter never owned bc she definitely owned them so what does that matter????
I believe so too, but what I find to be the most damning evidence in favor of this theory is the fact that a body that supposedly was in the water for a whole ass week was actually in such great non-bloated tip top shape that they could even have an open casket
@@es.9593 also like that poor coloured boy, who was found in a school gym wrapped up in a mat with his organs missing. they tried to say he killed himself.
This case has always made me so sad. She was a truly kind person who was taken from her family and the police really did not take this seriously. Thinking of those women who live alone... when will it be safe to be alone?
The saddest part is that we are not safe with partners either, just like Bella mentioned Chris Watts case, it terrifies me. I found an article where it says that over half (61%) of women killed by men were killed by a current or ex partner.
@@BornToShine95 Very true as well. That does make sense considering myself and 3 others I know personally are all domestic abuse surviviors. This one just always got me because she was a happy woman living on her own and doing her own thing, and her life gets cut short for doing just that essentially. Monsters certainly do live and they're around all of us. Stay safe 💌
@@BornToShine95 I super agree. I feel like I won’t ever be able to trust a male partner bc there are SO many stories of men having second families or being killers, and when their wives are questioned they always say they had NO idea.
@@jLo4sho Why are you asking for a motive? What would any random person have against her? There’s no motive for *anyone* police or otherwise. There isn’t a motive for anyone so it’s very possible a police officer did it based purely on the piss-poor police work and the fact the killer left a lot of evidence they were there that was just ignored. I think the beer cans are a distraction. The killer was pretty obviously thinking clearly when they did this. Otherwise they wouldn’t have removed her body and taunted her case. The voicemail being calm also rules out any drunken stupor. Whoever did this has experience either with crime scenes or with murder as well based on their actions. They also knew they wouldn’t get caught *because* they left that voicemail and a lot of DNA evidence. So they either knew the police wouldn’t do their job right or they are a cop and knew they’d be backed. Whoever did this either is a cop or at least has ties to cops. It can’t just be shitty police work. This was digging in their heels and refusing to investigate.
@@aromaladyellie the leaving DNA part is just part of the time it happened in. DNA didn’t mean anything then, almost all perpetrators left DNA because no one knew it could ever be tested the way it is now.
Evidence gets lost all the time tho. And the swab wouldn’t have the same meaning back the. DNA couldn’t be tested and they had no way of knowing it would be as useful as it is now. But that’s no excuse either, no evidence should ever be lost in any case!
i feel like both the men in the hospital needs to be looked into more. the fact that the uniform she was wearing was taken could have been a way to keep her forever if it was a stalker. also the fact that the nurses uniform was placed there after the initial search makes me think about possible guilt and the voicemail is so sus. and with the car, i’m wondering if it’s possible to get a print off the button or lever used to change the seat position?
Yes, I’m sure that the ppl who lost the vaginal swab and a wholeass steel drum took prints 🙄🙄🙄 That would’ve been a great idea though, if they had half a brain between all of them!
@@selmah5905 To be fair, I do feel like that‘s the only thing that COULD have been her. Like she heard someone was suddenly in her house so she just shoved her purse into her bed thinking it was a burglary and then equipped herself and went to take a look
As soon as I heard the voicemail, I felt it was him. But then when you said he was a volunteer and had a crush on her, I’m sure he did it! Men are so damn fragile.
There is NO way a cop or a cop’s family member/friend wasn’t involved in Debbie’s murder. Everything about this just reeks of a police cover up, there were SO many obvious clues and pieces of evidence that they just blatantly ignored. Like, there’s shitty police work, and then there’s purposefully messing up a case, and this seems so purposeful to me.
Here’s what I think may have happened: The man who left the voice mail could have been payed/ tricked into leaving it, and the person who killed her knew that the man who left the voicemail was interested in her. The reason why she looked relaxed when she died may be because she could have been slipped something in a drink by someone she knew (Since there were beer cans is her yard). I can’t think of why the car would be in a different spot than it usually is other than the fact that someone else drove it (But why?). This is my first time leaving a “theory” comment, so I’m sorry if it sounded disrespectful. I absolutely do not want to come across as disrespectful. I hope the family and friends can get closure. (And I know that my theory is a little far fetched but I kind of just combined everything that I was thinking about)
i agree w you on the fact that if she had habits and things she always did like parking her car at the exact same sport everyday, if it was different, its def sketchy and thank god her mom was super careful about those things... i didn't finish the video yet but i already know it's a cold case by how bad the police handled the investigations... all of this is soooo sketchy like, if she was going home after work by car but didn't park at the same place, who drove? If she kept everything in her apartment organized who left a mess? Why tf her mom received clothes that aren't even her daughter's? idk this is messing with my head, prob even more cause its late in my country and i don't even speak proper English ahahh
Maybe if someone (that she knew) was standing where she usually parked, that's why she parked in a different spot if she was in fact the one that drove it home? If it was someone she didn't know I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten out of the car. Or, there isn't an explantion about her drive home from her shift (the route, how long, quiet/busy roads etc.) - perhaps she was driving and saw someone she knew, or someone was waiting for her at her car in the hospital carpark
@@katiepower7236 oh yeah that's very true you're right about that! so someone she prob knew, waited for her to finish her shift, maybe parked it's car where she used to park hers bc it seems like a kind of remoted area and police didn't mention any type of wheels marks on the ground/grass idk... so either they came w her in her car, or they came to her house by themselves by foot or by car? but then what? she just finished her shift and was prob tired at 4am, seems odd that she drank beers w this person, collapsed and ended up in the lake... with clean clothes that aren't hers and with no sign of fighting or drowning idk something's missing i'll try search for more infos

the beer cans need to be tested for dna!!! the sperm needs to be tested!!! and they both need to be compared with each other, and compared to all the suspects that have been mentioned
@@mikedegruchy1329 It might be that the person who murdered her has connection to the police and got rid of the evidence purposely :/ This case is really sad she didnt get justice.
She was intended to be hidden forever, why the need to dress her? Sounds like someone close to her, had a weird twisted need to cover her up before disposing of the body.
Clothing thing is a sign of guilt. In fact maybe the barrel also indicates that so the body wouldn't float around but stays put.... Another thing about the clothes they were both men AND women's wear. Who does the bra belong to? Did she have underwear on as well?? If the answer's yes, I think it could have give more evidence.
the excuse is he had to murder a girl and obviously make it seem like it wasn't him. wouldn't be surprised if he confessed and police were still saying she drowned?
@@christino3852 but that dosent explain the car the barrel the shoe print and her being in the river/pond days after she passed and the voicemail the random nurse uniform and she had met up with her mom hrs or a day before she would have said somethign to her that meant she will be committing
i have NEVER commented so much under a video. sorry not sorry. this case is going to be stuck in my head for a long time. my heart goes out to her loved ones
I’ve been trying to decide which Casetify case to buy for my new iPhone for over a week now and you finally helped me decide. I want that cow print with pink lining, thanks for letting me copy you Bella! I’ll use your code. 💕🐄

oh this is SO weird. I would love to see someone like Unsolved Mysteries do an episode on this and call more attention to it! Also, these etch a sketch earrings are super fun.
I love bella so much, she put me through quarantine with her mystery Mondays, I love how she doesn't put creepy music under the vids, and keeps it cheerful, tells us multiple theories
BELLA YOU LOOK AMAZING! Your hair color and cut is gorgeous on you! Your whole look I'm geeking out over, your glow is real girl! Please do a get ready with me video on your look today! Love love love
I was literally typing that the police looks so f***ing suspicious when you mentioned the theory! But maybe it wasn't someone in the police but rather a relative of someone in the police! I don't think it was Gordon, why would he lead the police to her body without knowing for sure that they would ignore the barrel completely? I really feel the police was involved somehow. Maybe the voicemail has an explanation, maybe Debbie was annoyed by that person and was avoiding him, maybe he really didn't see her for a few days. But it's also likely he's the killer.. I don't know
@@kategoldner877 Exactly and how do you think it will look on the news if a veteran committed such a horrible murder. People would not have the same respect as they probably do now for them!
Havent watched the video yet I’ve just clicked onto it but Bella your hair look absolutely incredible! I love love it! Hope your staying well and safe xx
If her body was IN A BARREL then how on earth could ANYONE think this was an accident. Nobody would “accidentally” get into a barrel and then fall into the pond

I’m sure if you are interested there are easy dyi step by step tutorials on Pinterest that show how to tie your own knots around a pot to make it your own hanging pot! Happy searching☺️☺️
DO I have a lot of exams to revise for? yes Do I have a lot of homework piling up? yes is it time to go bed because its school tomorrow? yes Am I still going to watch a 26 min case that'll give me nightmares? Also yes😃
The police should've published the photos of the clothes in case the murderer stole the woman's underwear from someone in their life or even the men's clothes as well.
This case is so obvious! Why did they completely ignore everything? Leads me to believe the police knew more than they were letting on. This case seems like such an easy one if they had initially investigated properly and perhaps if someone else was on the case, I feel as if they would’ve been able to solve this at the very beginning. There is just too many factors that made it obvious for it not being an accident but a m*rder.
also, didnt voicemails at this time have a time stamp of some sort? i know it was in the '70s but didnt the machine or phone have a way of recording the date and time somehow? if they didnt then.. clever move
i usually never comment but i feel the need to let you know that your videos are amazing, im italian and the situation here isn't really good rn because of covid...so thank you for keeping me company! sending lots of love💘
this is so heartbreaking and confusing, i hope everyone watching and around the world learns to stay safe. stuff like this happens to any regular person no matter gender or age. i pray you guys never have to deal with anything like this at all. women especially , inshallah we never experience this ❤️ my heart goes out to all the family and friends

definitely lazy police! they didn’t feel like investigating from the start. very sad, not always the case but also not uncommon

"this is so sketchy...' like your earrings.
I guess I should brace myself for this one...
We all are!
Omg ur everywhere
Wait a second you look oddly familiar
@@regularjoe5517 😎
So they think she just fell in a barrel ? I’m so confused how does that even make sense lol
If she worked at the VA hospital and was found in a larger army jacket I wonder if it was an obsessed patient 👀
the beer cans need to be tested for dna!!! the sperm needs to be tested!!! and they both need to be compared with each other, and compared to all the suspects that have been mentioned
jess the speed sample was lost...
@@mikedegruchy1329 It might be that the person who murdered her has connection to the police and got rid of the evidence purposely :/ This case is really sad she didnt get justice.
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video
انت من أين ؟
Am I delusional?? 2 videos in a week!! You’re killing it
Is it weird that I fall asleep to these videos almost every time? her voice is just so soothing
they were definitely covering up something. this is so sad. i hope she went peacefully
Your pfp has me laughing so hard-
@@destiny.2786 LMAOO thx
@@kaiti3289 yw 😂😂😂😂
She was intended to be hidden forever, why the need to dress her? Sounds like someone close to her, had a weird twisted need to cover her up before disposing of the body.
that's such a good point. i wonder if the killer was obsessed with debbie and wanted a part of him to stay with her forever
@@LDHsinger right? Or someone close to her with a twisted respect to feel the need to cover her up.
Sandy Curry that indicates to me it was someone who knew her and cared for her even if it was in a bazaar way.
Clothing thing is a sign of guilt. In fact maybe the barrel also indicates that so the body wouldn't float around but stays put.... Another thing about the clothes they were both men AND women's wear. Who does the bra belong to? Did she have underwear on as well?? If the answer's yes, I think it could have give more evidence.
I would love to know what voicemail man's excuse is for saying that she hadn't been at work for a few days
Saaaameeee
idk my thinking was that it was some kind of alibi?
the excuse is he had to murder a girl and obviously make it seem like it wasn't him. wouldn't be surprised if he confessed and police were still saying she drowned?
@@gwynquagliana2043 yeah but the police should've asked him why he said a few days vs just the one, and I wonder what his excuse was then
Maybe he specifically hadn’t seen her in a few days?
YESSS! I’m so glad you’re uploading these more often!
Another mystery Monday!! You’re on fire Bella 🔥 🔥
your hair today gives you a 90s vibe and i’m loving it!
Everyone: there was a barrel
The police: what are you talking about? that's not a barrel its a jacket
Me: can someone fire these people please
I died 😂😂😂”what barrel what are you talking about”😂😂😂😂
Same looool
You put so much work into your videos and it shows
was so confused as to why you were so tan, then i realized it's summer down below :'(
Did they ever fingerprint and collect the beer cans? There could be finger prints on them especially if they weren’t hers
Yeah thats what I was thinking, there also could me ruminants of saliva in the cans
I’m assuming they didn’t since police think she was the one drinking
Probably too much hard work for cops to actually do their job anyways ACAB since they wanna be careless
It was clearly a suicide so why would they bother ????
@@christino3852 but that dosent explain the car the barrel the shoe print and her being in the river/pond days after she passed and the voicemail the random nurse uniform and she had met up with her mom hrs or a day before she would have said somethign to her that meant she will be committing
I feel like we all need a Bella podcast!!! Mystery Monday on both TH-cam and podcast streaming platforms!!
Also can you do more cases on indiginous people , I'm not indiginous but i just think that more people should know about these sort of cases
Nissy A.c Highway of tears please
@@mikedegruchy1329 is that an indiginous person's case?
@@mikedegruchy1329 nevermind I looked it up yassss he should definitely do a video on this
Wind river this movie is inspired by the real-life concern surrounding missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada and the United States.
@@mikedegruchy1329 that case is not indigenous to Australia though and she's Australian
I’m confused as to how they determined that her death was by drowning when her body was found in a barrel??? Make it make sense Lord..
It’s so sad how the local police didn’t take this case seriously, I personally think that it was a coverup
ikr
i have NEVER commented so much under a video. sorry not sorry. this case is going to be stuck in my head for a long time. my heart goes out to her loved ones
I’ve been trying to decide which Casetify case to buy for my new iPhone for over a week now and you finally helped me decide. I want that cow print with pink lining, thanks for letting me copy you Bella! I’ll use your code. 💕🐄
Molly. Nolin I just got mine and it’s beautiful!!I got a clear one with rose gold glitter and balls !!it’s beautiful and whilst drunk my boyfriend tried it out by dropping it from six foot !!(a hole ) lol but it’s still fine ,now I’m looking for a new one!!I love them 🥰😘😍💖🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Omg yes isn’t it the cutest!! 🧚♀️
@@bellafiori omg yes hun, I’m in 🇬🇧so takes bit longer to get to me!!I couldn’t wait!!they really are worth the money and the look gorgeous!!’💖🇬🇧
@@bellafiori it’s on it’s way to my house now!!💕
I agree with you on Gordon being suspicious..as soon as you mentioned him finding her body as soon as he went in the water seemed strange to me...
what a way to end the week 🥰
Literally 2 seconds in and I want a plant tour! Look how cute her plant collection is! 😍
I used your code for my new case and it just came today. I’m obsessed!!! This is my second Casetify case and they are LEGIT. And I drop my phone A LOT. 😬
oh this is SO weird. I would love to see someone like Unsolved Mysteries do an episode on this and call more attention to it!
Also, these etch a sketch earrings are super fun.
your voice is so calming and soothing 🥰
I love bella so much, she put me through quarantine with her mystery Mondays, I love how she doesn't put creepy music under the vids, and keeps it cheerful, tells us multiple theories
Doctor: She didn’t die by drowning.
Cops: Yes she did
😂😂 wtf
BELLA YOU LOOK AMAZING! Your hair color and cut is gorgeous on you! Your whole look I'm geeking out over, your glow is real girl! Please do a get ready with me video on your look today! Love love love
I was literally typing that the police looks so f***ing suspicious when you mentioned the theory! But maybe it wasn't someone in the police but rather a relative of someone in the police! I don't think it was Gordon, why would he lead the police to her body without knowing for sure that they would ignore the barrel completely? I really feel the police was involved somehow.
Maybe the voicemail has an explanation, maybe Debbie was annoyed by that person and was avoiding him, maybe he really didn't see her for a few days. But it's also likely he's the killer.. I don't know
Yooo you literally made me love crime series and it's insane how much i listen to crime junkies and other podcasts.
He was a volunteer veteran...for sure the cops covered it up
I’m from Fayetteville, NC and I 100% believe that could be the case. The police force also has tons of veterans.
@@kategoldner877 Exactly and how do you think it will look on the news if a veteran committed such a horrible murder. People would not have the same respect as they probably do now for them!
Omg Queenie you look incredible in this video!! Your hair I'm obsessed
I literally thought you were wearing albuterol inhaler earrings 🤣💀
Havent watched the video yet I’ve just clicked onto it but Bella your hair look absolutely incredible! I love love it!
Hope your staying well and safe xx
Have you ever thought of turning mystery Monday into a podcast?! I’d love to listen
I had just finished watching the two previous mystery videos when you uploaded this one, Yayy!!
If her body was IN A BARREL then how on earth could ANYONE think this was an accident. Nobody would “accidentally” get into a barrel and then fall into the pond
Maybe some people just go swimming in the pond in the Barrel. The police made a laughable explanation. You are totally right. That's just laughable.
Loved the video and your coverage of the case, but YOUR HAIR IS EVERYTHING
I have to go back and start over... I’ve been googling trying to find a hanging flower pot like the one behind you 😅 a literal “oooooh squirrel!” Moment!
I’m sure if you are interested there are easy dyi step by step tutorials on Pinterest that show how to tie your own knots around a pot to make it your own hanging pot! Happy searching☺️☺️
can we appreciate how bella literally goes all out on these,,, like props to you mate
DO I have a lot of exams to revise for? yes
Do I have a lot of homework piling up? yes
is it time to go bed because its school tomorrow? yes
Am I still going to watch a 26 min case that'll give me nightmares? Also yes😃
Same...then I got hungry..am I still gonna eat and procrastinate on another video..most likely
Hi Bella! So excited to see another mystery video. What a treat!
Thanks for the video Bella! Just what I needed to take my mind of stuff!
The police should've published the photos of the clothes in case the murderer stole the woman's underwear from someone in their life or even the men's clothes as well.
Keep slaying the game sis. Always look forward to your videos! Hope you and your family are doing well and happy holidays! 💜💜
This case is so obvious! Why did they completely ignore everything? Leads me to believe the police knew more than they were letting on. This case seems like such an easy one if they had initially investigated properly and perhaps if someone else was on the case, I feel as if they would’ve been able to solve this at the very beginning. There is just too many factors that made it obvious for it not being an accident but a m*rder.
This is a North Carolina case it’s crazy there’s a couple Fayetteville’s!you’re amazing bella❤️🥰
Yayyy I’m loving the consistent uploads. I’ve literally watched every single one of your videos, mysteries and vlogs LOL. Hope your doing well ! Xo 🥰
also, didnt voicemails at this time have a time stamp of some sort? i know it was in the '70s but didnt the machine or phone have a way of recording the date and time somehow? if they didnt then.. clever move
I haven’t watched you in a while and I am LOVING your new hair!! It’s so pretty on you!
Also. Holy shit, I just realized this is my very distant cousin on my dads side. I remember my dads mom talking about her
Not me watching another Bella Case instead of doing my homework
i usually never comment but i feel the need to let you know that your videos are amazing, im italian and the situation here isn't really good rn because of covid...so thank you for keeping me company! sending lots of love💘
ah this is going to be interesting,, also you look amazing, bella ! as always
Im so glad your posting more mystery Mondays and I really love your new hair!
My first instinct: someone related to the police was involved in her murder.
Bella is so naturally pretty 🥺
ily bella 🖤
obsessed with this hair on you 😍
this is so heartbreaking and confusing, i hope everyone watching and around the world learns to stay safe. stuff like this happens to any regular person no matter gender or age. i pray you guys never have to deal with anything like this at all. women especially , inshallah we never experience this ❤️ my heart goes out to all the family and friends
My mom doesn’t understand TH-cam world but I just showed her you and I’m like isn’t she the cutest thing? And mom said “wow what a beautiful and natural girl!” 🥺🥰 you’re literally my fav TH-camr!!!
