Kaylas brother here, just wanted to say thank you for taking time to do a video on my sisters case. Keeping her face and story out there is the only real hope we have anymore of ever receiving the closure we so desperately want.
@@desertgirl3374 I really wish that there was a culture where the idea of a man in his early 20's hanging around teenage girls wasnt seen as a prize to be had by those girls but as what it is which is predatory and creepy behaviour. I have a daughter and I will drill it into her that if she is a teenager, any person who is not a teenager (boy or girl because women can groom too) is strictly off limits and is to be seen as a threat. True, these people can drive you around, buy you things and it feels sophisticated and cool but there is always a price. We need to start seeing 20+ males as men and not in their extended teen years where they get to be excused for this kind of behaviour. We all need to start calling it out for what it is and stop excusing this crap.
@@desdemona42 So true. I remember being a teen girl and thinking it was awesome that guys like that paid attention to us. Now that I'm older, it makes me sick to think that I just thought we were so cool and special that of course he's into us. Nope. There is something seriously wrong with a guy in his 20s who wants to hang around high school girls.
Oh hell yes! I remember wanting to slap the shit out of my little sister when I was in uni and she was maybe 16, hanging around older guys in bands, and flirting with the guys at the co-op where I lived when she came to visit. She was lucky, and ended up with the one older guy who was actually a good one, and they were equally good for each other for around 10 yrs, pushing each other on to get degrees and careers. But they were the exception to the number of times I've seen that situation go tragically wrong, and it's always the girl who gets hurt...
I think Kevin tried to say that he dropped her off at Miguel's house, to put suspicion in Miguel, not knowing that Miguel had moved out of that house. I think he murdered her for sure.
Jackie Acheson that’s what I thought! Like he wanted to make it seem like it was a “girl runs away with her boyfriend in the middle of the night” scenario. I think Miguel only had another phone to deal drugs or possibly had another girlfriend (hoping it was mostly the first one tbh.) but I doubt he had anything to do with her disappearance. I think Kevin is 100% guilty.
My mum always told me when I was young that older men are only interested in teenagers because there is a reason people their own age won't date them. I think Kevin did something, be it intentional or not, and he just tried to pass blame to her boyfriend.
When you're a teen you think you're mature and feel invincible. I'm in my 20s now, and I would NEVER hang out with teens unless I have a specific reason (i.e. family members). I would NEVER go out of my way to befriend, much less give drugs to, or date teens. Plus I feel I am comfortable being around them. Like when you're in a room with old people and you're the only young one. Same feeling. That's why I will never trust men and women who make their friend circles full of younger people. Susses me out. Why don't you get friends your age? Do they see a problem that naive teens don't? lol
Its not fair to say they aren't normal, i have a boy who will be 19 this year but he has a mental issues & way more immature than the regular guys his age. I tell him all the time not to speak/hang with girls 16 or under, due to way it can look and for his protection. On the flip side i understand why he might feel more comfortable with those younger than him, but due to way we are in society its best not to.
@@KellyanneKashaS exactly... that's different tho. and that's good your teaching him the right way but in your sons case it is different i am not judging him... What I am saying, it is not right for a grown man to be riding around smoking weed with a 15 year old girl... if that 15 year old girl was your daughter, you would not think its appropriate... does it happen? yes... is it right? no...
@@cristalfuentes9484 i totally agree, i am the first to say it & think even but i also get the pit feeling having sons especially one like him. Everyone would think the same of him if he does it (including myself if someone else & if i didn't know him)
Cadaver dogs don’t make mistakes. He killed someone. Or rather touched and was around a decomposing body. Sadly that’s all the real proof you can garner from cadaver dogs but as the TH-camr said... that’s likely not a coincidence. He was the last person who saw a missing person alive and cadaver dogs have hit on him? Cmon... he should be in prison!
Jessica Watson they are notorious for their accuracy. They honestly amaze me. I listened to this one podcast and the cadaver dogs were able to catch a scent around 50 feet under water and decades had passed! It was based in Ontario I believe. I wish I could remember the name in case you’d be interested in listening. It was missing person case! Dang it... a little boy went missing at the beach. That’s all I remember :(
I think Miguel was most likely using that second phone for drug dealing or other illegal activities so that is why he shut down. Kevin is my one 1 suspect
PsychoMom 1227 possible burner phone. Young men make tons of fast cash befriending young girls, manipulating them into a “trusted” situation, only to sell them to traffickers. This strongly stinks of that stench.
The sheer fact that a 24 year old man was okay with driving around and smoking up a young girl (a child) is predator behavior in it of its self. That combined with his story makes me think that he sadly did something to her. So sad.. she had her whole life ahead of her. 💖
Just the fact he gave an old address makes him guilty. He killed her, didn't know Miguel moved so gave that address to try to misdirect police to Muguel.
I also suspect it's Kevin, but I don't think the old address necessarily means anything. If she and Miguel were meeting to do drugs, they might not want to meet up in public. However, as someone who grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, I am appalled that the driver wouldn't wait until they say the passenger go inside or, at the very least, meet another person. You don't leave someone to the elements, which is what tells me that Kevin is responsible.
@@JLynnEchelon it's just too odd not to play an important role in his guilt. There are no coincidences. They were all open about their drug use in their group they'd have no reason to hide it.
If he really cared at all he would have waited till he saw she was in the house and safe (maybe a light turning on) before pulling away. If he felt that the house was at all sketchy why would he not look out for a friend and a best friends little sister and at least do that.
This is why you get your children cell phones. It doesn't have to be a smart phone it can just be a basic flip phone but all kids NEED one in case of an emergency.
Whitney Dahlin yeah because there kidnappers not Gunna take it of them and say yes here you go, tell your parents where you are. Phone isn’t going to save a life.
@@sophiewordsworth3510 it isn't about the kidnapping tho. Did you even listen to what happened because she had no way to contact her parents? A week went by before they knew something happened. If she had a cell phone it may not have prevented her demise but she would have been reported missing sooner because her family would have knew something was wrong.
I remember when this case was happening, it really hit hard for me. Kayla and I are the exact same age, and she went missing right before our first year of high school. At the time, my friends and I really related to some of the details in her story- we also snuck out, lied to our parents to go to parties, smoked weed with 20something year old men when we were 14 and 15 years old. I distinctly remember having serious conversations with my friends at the time about being more careful, and how scary it is to think that if you lie to your parents about your whereabouts and something happens to you, they'll have no idea where to look. It really did change a lot of our risky behavior at the time, and I'm grateful for that. I hope Kayla and her family get the justice they deserve.
This case reminds me of both Skylar Neese and Sara Bushland. Kayla and Sara seemed to both be apart of wild hangouts with older men. And then the weed seemed like a ruse (like with Skylar's case). I think he sexually assaulted her and then killed her. And tried to frame Miguel in order to get off. Hope they eventually find Kayla.
I really appreciate the way you speak. Sometimes with true crime videos it’s hard to keep track of who’s who, how they’re related, theories, what happened etc. but the way you lay it out is very clear, concise and obviously well-researched. I can only hope that your efforts will lead to more information being found, or even the people themselves.
I have serious problems with Kevin. Cadaver dogs don't lie, and 20-something guys don't give teenage girls a heap of weed, then drive them around everywhere with nothing but innocent motivations. My best guess is that he made a move on her, maybe at the abandoned house, she resisted, he got forceful and she ended up dead, possibly by accident. It's one of the oldest stories out there.
Cadaver dogs are a hit and miss. Everyone's body has a different scent dead or alive. I watched a documentary where Cadaver dogs have mistaken candy for a dead body.
@@andreag3681 What documentary was this? I'd like to see it. I'm sure it depends on their training, whether or not they ever make false positives, because the best are known to be pretty damn accurate.
I'm only 18 minutes in, but I wonder if they went to the abandoned house to smoke the weed he brought and then something happened after that? I don't think a 24 yr old hanging around teenagers is ever a good idea!!!!!
I agree about adults hanging out with teenagers. I also come from really small village...around 3000 people living there. You would always say hi to everybody, as you always know their family or somebody who knows them. But wouldn't hang out and spend lots of time out of school or work place. My younger brother had a friend, who was 10 years older than him and none of our family liked that. Lifestyle of a teenager and young adult are so different there isn't much common interests. If adult is living a lifestyle of a teenager I would find it worrying xo
Or Miguel could have been dealing out of it, and Kevin threw that address out to cops in the hopes they'd find that out and make him the main suspect...
I think it's really cool that her brother James commented on this video. That's awesome that you brought awareness to this case. Keep up the good work!
I'm not sure how I'd feel about my young teenager bouncing around from house to house and hanging out with whomever they wanted without a damn cell phone. They could have bought her a cheap one for safety reasons. I can't say I agree with you saying they were contacting everyone they could, that there's something wrong with people giving them hell. As a mother myself, I understand some people do not see it necessary for their kid to have a phone. But ask yourself, if you were in a situation where your young teen was bouncing around from place to place, had lied about something; you can't put your money together as her family and get a basic phone so that she'd have no excuse not to contact you? Yes, I AM placing some blame on the parents. Absolutely mind boggling to me that she was knowingly all over the place, getting rides from whoever, lying about going to a party and scaring the daylights out of you, but you can't at least make sure she has a phone to call you or 911? WEIRD.
Completely agree. Only someone without children would think these parents were in the right. Ridiculous. Who lets their daughter bounce around with MEN like that?
@@Shenanigan1720 im sorry to say this but yes i agree, at 15 shes way underage and should not have had that amount of freedom. sleeping at this friends and that friends, staying out late, going to parties, hanging out with much older men, it sounds like they didnt know where she was half the time, thats wrong, if my 15 yr old daughter says shes sleeping at a friends i would want to know exactly which friend, the address and the tel nr!!!!.....im terribly sorry for her family, but parents do need to control and supervise kids this age, especially girls, because they are so vulnerable to predators
She was living in the fast lane and her parents didn't put a stop to it especially after the lie...it'd seen time and time again that it doesn't work..at 15 she should be worried about school and her next outfit not weed and car rides plus parties...if my mum ever let me slept in anyone's house, she used to call the person..but she never let me sleep over at anyone's place while underage..I was only allowed when I was over 20 with a job...and she still called the house...yep..real parenting...
you don’t think this family hasn’t spent years contemplating this very situation and wishing they could go back and change everything? i hope they never have to read any of your comments.
Thank you so much for talking about this story. She went missing from my hometown and is the same age as my siblings. It has bothered me every day since I last heard of her disappearance. I have driven past the place she was supposedly dropped off hundreds of times. I always wonder where she is and it is haunting. I hate the fact that there are people who must know what happened to her and they are just walking around like it is nothing. I really pray there is a resolution for her family and those of us in Wausau who always wonder...
For the cadaver dogs finding something that many times... It can't be a coincidence, that looks like some kind of pattern. Knowing that her father died without a clue of what happened to her just breaks my heart. I hope something comes up soon for her family to have some sort of comfort :(
It can be a coincidence. Cadaver dogs hit on the scent of cadaver. Not the scent of a specific persons cadaver scent. Was his car a used car? Maybe the original owner had a heart attack in the car, it someone ODd in it. How many people work at the potato farm? Anyone who works there could have transferred the scent of cadaver on them if they hugged their dying grandmother as she died or wore a used shirt that went to Goodwill after a person died in their home where the scent got on the shirt. Soil could have been transferred from an area that a person died on. Maybe his uncle died in his house in 1997 and that's what cadaver the fog hit on in the home. Also, cadaver dogs are not infallible and they can't say anything other than I smell cadaver. No matter how much cadaver scent there is, they can pick up miniscule amounts if cadaver scent. The wind or dust or litter might blow scent from one area to the next. And sometimes they are just mistaking or getting cues from the handler to hit a certain area where there is no scent at all. Cadaver (and scent) dogs want to please their handler so if they sense the handler gives off that he or she wants a hit the dog may signal when nothing is there.
@@girlinabox1943 -Sure it could be mere coincidence that Kevin is a cadaver magnet. You're right. Or chances are he'd have been arrested on those hits. Still though, all the hits for the dogs leading to the same guy, are very suspicious to say the least.
raccoon in a box Too far fetched, and clutching at straws. The odds of 3 hits in 3 locations linking the same man who also happens to the last person to see her not being involved in her disappearance is extremely unlikely. Additionally, and statistically, it is always the last person to see the missing person in such cases and no matter how much that person denies their involvement, it’s confirmed once the case is solved. As far as I am aware, (I research a lot of crime) there isn’t a case out there were cadaver dogs hit three times in three places linked heavily to the last person who saw the missing person where that person was innocent, and that’s how rare it would be. I don’t think there is even a case with two hits, never mind three! Taking the totality of all the information together with the hits and that he was the last person to see her, the chances of it being someone else is the same chance of me living until I am 120.
PrettyPistol86 I hope so, but then again I also hope the father is able to rest and be at peace and doesn't need to haunt anyone and hopefully he's been reunited with his baby girl
My roommate is from Antigo, and one of her high school friends is Kayla's cousin. My roommate is convinced that Kevin absolutely knows more than he's letting on.
I live in Denmark, so your videos always come out around dinner time here. Since I started subscribing to your channel about a year and a half ago I've had my own little 'Dinner and Danelle'-ritual every Saturday 😂🙈💙
Yaaaasssss......that’s our girl....remember to always watch at least the first 30 seconds of any ads on her videos....this helps out a lot with TH-cam’s algorithm....
So true, me too. And I was watching CinemaSins critique John wick 2 but I was like woop Danelle is here now, bye bye CinemaSins by the way I'm only halfway done with this video but I think Kevin has everything to do with her disappearance. He's a ride b**** and he felt he had to entice her with herb... IDK everything about this dude gives me bad vibes
Great presentation! Kevin is my suspect. Too many red flags to count and it seems like he was waiting on a vulnerable person to victimize and Kayla fit the bill. Through no fault of her own she had so much going on in her life she probably did not pay attention to that feeling we get in the pit of our stomach until it was too late. I hope a really tough interrogation expert gets to Kevin and he is compelled to confess what he did to Kayla. Her family deserves some peace.
I attended and later worked in Elton, WI (uncorporated) at the girl scout camp :) It's basically Antigo. My son's paternal grandfather is also from there. I remember this case so clearly when it happened.
Sunny Joslynn, nice to meet you, lady! I’ve never met a J O S L Y N N, I’m stoked. You’ve got a new follower also by adding the Sunny to your moniker. I’m loving your ☀️ sunshine! Can’t wait to check out your singing videos. 😉❤️🖖🏽
Unapologetically Tray it is not about them knowing smth, but about them giving the police a better insight of how those guys behave behind the closed doors
I will say, i know his current girlfriend very well- they have been together for YEARS. She is very aware of his flaws- this case is not one of them. Literally no one who knows the people involved believes or thinks its Miguel, or even could be.
These answers lie with Kevin. There is just no way. This is the type of case that they say one little thing could change the entire case and finally bring her home. I hope someone comes forward.
I don't think it's good how loose her care/supervision was. Being a teen can be dangerous and it seemed like she was always staying overnight at different houses with different people.
actressbrookesingleton I agree. Unfortunately, with a chronically ill father and separated parents this sometimes happens. But teens need a stable living situation and at least one person to know where they are at all times. I think we will unfortunately see more of this as kids from single parent homes float back and forth between two parents homes - especially when communication between divorced parents is not great - can leave a lot of gaps for a teenager to fall through! So sad.
I'm raising boys and when I text I better get a response or I'll go look for them. Don't want to beat up the parents but gotta say even a few hours of not knowing 100% where she was they needed to panic. Being a worry wart is what has kept my four boys safe. Hind sight is 20/20 unfortunately😞
My children are 7 and 8 and I am a very relaxed parent, when it comes to most parenting issues....but when it comes to my children outside of our home, I look like a crazy mom. I am super aware and always teach my children to be as well. They probably get sick of me but every time we walk out the door, it's time for a lesson. Teaching your children to be aware and most of all trust their intuition is so beyond important. I understand there are instances I can't control, but life is full of good and bad people and I choose to teach my children about both. We need to unite as parents.
@@aHavenForTheLost I shared a quote w/ another mom who made a comment about raising girls. Hope you like it as well..... "I am not your friend. I am your parent. I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare and hunt you down when needed.....Because I LOVE YOU."
@@cloudie8314 Wow God Bless you for having four boys! What a blessing! I have one girl and one boy and there's nothing to compare to the bond of a mother and son. Now you have four boys turning into men that will protect you like you protected them! 💝

I feel like if I got caught lying like that to my parents I would be grounded for a long time.... sad 😢 I definitely was not allowed to go “around from friend to friends house” and I didn’t have a cell phone either. Not to judge but this girl was 15 years old...
Right! I don’t wanna blame the parents but at the same time they should’ve been more of a parent and kept her safe at home, but she could’ve snuck out if she was that determined. Just so so so sad. :(
@@nanas09871 I was actually looking to see some1 comment on being from a small town. I'm from a big city, so it's hard to comment on some1's parenting skills that lived in a small town. Hope you have a nice holiday.❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
@@kellyannkeech I grew up in a small town, and I had friends who were in situations like that. My own family had serious control issues, and I'd have had my ass kicked for not coming home, but Kayla's behaviour wasn't unusual, especially in the summer.
@@dayrbenzie339 Me too, but I'm from a big city. And bc of knowing I was going to be grounded I wouldn't come home at all. That didn't work out well for me. I was found not even 10hrs later, and my mom beat me butt. I think as a parent you have to choose your battles. Have a great holiday weekend.❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
Kevin had gained Kayla’s trust and on this day when she asked for a ride he probably tried to make a move on her and she refused... which escalated into him getting angry and hurting her
I have extreme insomnia and I just found your channel around 2 am and it’s now 5:49 LMAO I’ve been watching your videos all morning and I’m now gonna watch all your videos when I’m bored in the middle of the night. THANK YOU for being so great at what you do ❤️🥰
Somehow I never saw that viral video but wow. Even after knowing that it’s fake it’s still one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen. My heat goes out to her mom, this whole case breaks my heart .
🖤🖤🖤 I believe Kevin did it,they were smoking together and he taught that he could try to get with her,for sure she said no and he attacked her and kill her.
Totally cried over the fact her dad passed away not knowing and it breaks my heart to think of the what if’s I can’t imagine her family’s pain. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos
Katherine Campos they were film students making a horror short. You have to be a complete moron to actually believe someone would abduct a girl, film it and put it on TH-cam. I don't care how crazy someone is, that has never happened ever and will never happen. That stuff exists on the dark net but not frikkin youtube.
Devi exactly. hell, it was effective though, it creeped me and many others out. but from the start it was very clearly fake. the guys acting is really bad, plus how the girl is silent until he opens the door.... but people are gullible.
Yet again, another case from my state... This is the closest one to me so far (only an hour away)... I remember this being plastered all over the local news... Such a sad case.
Everything she says about wi is cringy and wrong. Wausau isn't party central, it isn't normal for minors to mix and party with those of age, it isn't normal for teenagers to live just wherever.
Could you please look into Kyron Horman, he’s been missing from Oregon (my home state) and its still unsolved but his mother is continuing her search now. It’s very heartbreaking :(
Thank you so much for covering this case Danielle!! I live near by and it is hardly talked about around here except one poster that’s up. I’ve always felt very passionate about this case, and I have never given up hope that someday her poor mother can have closure. It truly disturbs me knowing her body is possibly very close to me. Im so happy this case is finally getting the coverage it should have had since day one! Thank you again, it truly made my day to see you post this!
Why am I not surprised about all roads leading back to Kevin? I eagerly await an update from you, Danelle, and Thank you for breathing life back into her story, I pray that someone finds it in their heart to call in about what they know, because Someone Knows !🙏😔
I remember seeing the video and immediately remembering Kayla.. I was relieved when it came out to be a “project” those people were doing but good grief. What a shock... they got the reaction they wanted, but was released at the wrong time! (Or maybe they did that on purpose?) 😒 Kayla’s story is so frustrating and intriguing.. there’s only SO MANY people that can be involved.. someone knows something within her friends group.. at least that’s how I feel. Thanks again for another wonderful video and bringing her name back to light. ❤️
Thank you for bringing this case to your channel. As a mother, i can't even begin to imagine the horror of my child missing. Every opportunity to get the information out there is a blessing.
I felt like I was gonna puke when I saw that video.... I’m relieved that had nothing to do with Kayla. Though I believe she’s probably deceased at this point and I definitely think Kevin had something to do with it.
I truly appreciate how respectful you are in your videos. They're so full of heart and thorough research. I love that you could point out how True Crime Daily is not exactly true. That's really thorough in itself, and I'm glad you brought it up because that's how I originally heard about this case.
Rewatching this case as its one I find so intriguing. The "Hi Walter" video gets me every time. Something about it is so terrifying regardless whether or not it's related to her case.
They shouldn’t have a “balloon release” it’s really not good for the environment. I’m sure they could do something else besides that. Maybe a fund raiser for a cash reward? Idk something else tho
Danelle I really do hope you’re taking the right actions to keep yourself mentally healthy. This is all super heavy stuff and I’m sure you’re working around it constantly 💕
I really wish that it was more common for kids to check in. There are too many cases where it’s normal for teens to be gone for days without their parents knowing. And that being their normal routine either parents wait too long to realize they are missing or police don’t take it seriously. It’s very sad.
Arielle Simpson i totally understand that! i just wonder if there was any kind of description under the original video, or whether or not the artists disclosed the nature of the film. they don’t have to, but bc of the graphic nature i was wondering :)
I love your channel, really, but how come you don’t see an issue with a 15yr old dating a 19yr old......but have an issue with a 20yr old dating a 29yr old. So confused on that
I had no idea that I’d heard about kaylas story before until you talked about the hi Walter video. I saw the hi Walter story unfold on the news years ago and actually looked into her case a bit back then. It’s great to see a video actually giving context to her story years later!
first case in a while that brought me to tears. when you said her father passed away, i absolutely lost it. if kayla has in fact been taken from this world as well, i hope that they are reunited in glory. i pray justice is served and the rest of the family can find closure. incredibly and truly heartbreaking.
Sadly, due to both parents’ obvious poverty & inability to provide a stable home for their kids, this poor girl was bouncing around every night not knowing from day to day where she was going to sleep. A cot in a hallway is no way to take care of a minor child. So sad.
I live in Minnesota.... very close to Wisconsin, and I've never even heard of this case. I really hope her family gets closure. I can't even imagine what they're feeling 😢💔
Antigo is my hometown. I did not know her as she is 6 years younger than I, but this really rocked me when it happened. You never think it will happen in your town... until it does.
Just stumbled upon your channel - thanking the TH-cam algorithm Gods. Wonderful work! And so respectful to the family and loved ones, great job! It's good to see someone talk about these cases so we don't forget those whose voices can't be heard. Maybe some day more information can be learned.
I stumbled across your channel yesterday and I have nonstop been watching your vids. I truly appreciate how much you truly care and understand these cases. You’re not constantly reading off of anything. You just know the case. Which is really impressive and I can’t help but literally fall in love with your content.
If there's no proof that Kevin made the trip to Warsaw he could have been committing the crime and covering up during that time. That would explain the cadaver dog hitting his property, car, and job. I think Miguel may have been dealing and that's why he had this extra phone that was rarely used that he wanted to hide from authorities.
I am so sorry for her family. I think that unfortunately this can never be solved unless Kevin confesses and I don't think he will. Also, saying that the filmmakers behind Hi Walter are tasteless and should not have made the video is not in any way right and it makes me angry. They didn't want to be involved in this case so they deserve to be left alone and create whatever content they want. Otherwise CSI and all that stuff on TV should not be produced either. Just saying because that really made me so sad, that this was said
Wait, if the alibi is based on the fact that Kevin supposedly dropped her off at the abandoned house why the hell would that matter at all?? Wouldn't he just be lying about either dropping her off to begin with or the time he dropped her off? Not to mention it's his mother giving the alibi so it's paper thin even if they can confirm she was dropped off at the abandoned house by someone.
This is why it’s so important to give your kids phones!!! She was 15 going on 16 and didn’t have a phone? And her parents knew she went over to friends houses and parties all the time and didn’t think to give her a way of contact? Smh.
TRIGGER WARNING!! 30:01 I show the “hi Walter” video that some could find triggering.

Immediate red flag - a 24 year old man hanging out with teenage girls and giving them rides and other stuff. That sounds like grooming to me....

Now that I'm older, it makes me sick to think that I just thought we were so cool and special that of course he's into us. Nope. There is something seriously wrong with a guy in his 20s who wants to hang around high school girls.
Wendy Smith yes! Same! Now that I’m adult and have kids of my own I think back and think
Oh hell yes! I remember wanting to slap the shit out of my little sister when I was in uni and she was maybe 16, hanging around older guys in bands, and flirting with the guys at the co-op where I lived when she came to visit. She was lucky, and ended up with the one older guy who was actually a good one, and they were equally good for each other for around 10 yrs, pushing each other on to get degrees and careers. But they were the exception to the number of times I've seen that situation go tragically wrong, and it's always the girl who gets hurt...
I think Kevin tried to say that he dropped her off at Miguel's house, to put suspicion in Miguel, not knowing that Miguel had moved out of that house. I think he murdered her for sure.
Jackie Acheson that’s what I thought! Like he wanted to make it seem like it was a “girl runs away with her boyfriend in the middle of the night” scenario. I think Miguel only had another phone to deal drugs or possibly had another girlfriend (hoping it was mostly the first one tbh.) but I doubt he had anything to do with her disappearance. I think Kevin is 100% guilty.
Jackie Acheson 1000000% agree
Potato farm hitting was out of character to
Shaunna Smith why are you jumping to conclusions?
Me too😢
My mum always told me when I was young that older men are only interested in teenagers because there is a reason people their own age won't date them.
I think Kevin did something, be it intentional or not, and he just tried to pass blame to her boyfriend.
👏🏻👏🏻 your mom is right
Haha sounds like your mom got around when she was younger 🤷♂️
@@kunstizz unnecessary
@@kunstizz delete your comment 🙄
When you're a teen you think you're mature and feel invincible. I'm in my 20s now, and I would NEVER hang out with teens unless I have a specific reason (i.e. family members). I would NEVER go out of my way to befriend, much less give drugs to, or date teens. Plus I feel I am comfortable being around them. Like when you're in a room with old people and you're the only young one. Same feeling. That's why I will never trust men and women who make their friend circles full of younger people. Susses me out. Why don't you get friends your age? Do they see a problem that naive teens don't? lol
It sounds like it was Kevin and his surprise wasn't the weed... No normal 24 yr old man chill aloneeee with a 15 yr old girl
CRISTAL FUENTES this is actually a lie.. there are MANY 24 year olds who do. Back in highschool it was always “cool” if you dated someone older.
lovejaycakes yeah it’s common but if a 24 year old is hanging out with a 15 year old they are not normal.
Its not fair to say they aren't normal, i have a boy who will be 19 this year but he has a mental issues & way more immature than the regular guys his age. I tell him all the time not to speak/hang with girls 16 or under, due to way it can look and for his protection.
On the flip side i understand why he might feel more comfortable with those younger than him, but due to way we are in society its best not to.
@@KellyanneKashaS exactly... that's different tho. and that's good your teaching him the right way but in your sons case it is different i am not judging him... What I am saying, it is not right for a grown man to be riding around smoking weed with a 15 year old girl... if that 15 year old girl was your daughter, you would not think its appropriate... does it happen? yes... is it right? no...
@@cristalfuentes9484 i totally agree, i am the first to say it & think even but i also get the pit feeling having sons especially one like him.
Everyone would think the same of him if he does it (including myself if someone else & if i didn't know him)
That Kevin dude sounds sketchy af. I don't believe his story at all. Sadly, I think that he did something to her and that she's no longer alive.
Cadaver dogs don’t make mistakes. He killed someone. Or rather touched and was around a decomposing body. Sadly that’s all the real proof you can garner from cadaver dogs but as the TH-camr said... that’s likely not a coincidence. He was the last person who saw a missing person alive and cadaver dogs have hit on him? Cmon... he should be in prison!
Chelsey Johnson I image they can, all working dogs make mistakes on occasions, they’re not robots.
Jessica Watson they are notorious for their accuracy. They honestly amaze me. I listened to this one podcast and the cadaver dogs were able to catch a scent around 50 feet under water and decades had passed! It was based in Ontario I believe. I wish I could remember the name in case you’d be interested in listening. It was missing person case! Dang it... a little boy went missing at the beach. That’s all I remember :(
Also... I don’t remember the exact measurements and years passed but I remember being amazed at their accuracy. Dogs rule!
I think it's likely she overdosed and he hid the body.
I think Miguel was most likely using that second phone for drug dealing or other illegal activities so that is why he shut down. Kevin is my one 1 suspect
PsychoMom 1227 yes I agree 100%
Agree.
but his second phone was only ever used on the night she went missing. not before or after, just that one night to make 2 phone calls.
PsychoMom 1227 possible burner phone. Young men make tons of fast cash befriending young girls, manipulating them into a “trusted” situation, only to sell them to traffickers. This strongly stinks of that stench.
Jessica Caraveo has to always come up iooooZiooiooooziooZizizZizzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIZiziziip
If your going to have a loose parenting style and let your child basically do whatever they want please at least get them a cell phone
Stacy Thorson hurts to say this but I agree
YOU'RE. You + are.
@@Toffee146 aslo, LOSE* not loose
Incorrect. For the context of what she said, ‘loose’ is the correct term.
Exactly
It's the absolute WORST when everyone knows who did it and because of 'lack of evidence' no chargers are brought forward
The sheer fact that a 24 year old man was okay with driving around and smoking up a young girl (a child) is predator behavior in it of its self. That combined with his story makes me think that he sadly did something to her. So sad.. she had her whole life ahead of her. 💖
Just the fact he gave an old address makes him guilty. He killed her, didn't know Miguel moved so gave that address to try to misdirect police to Muguel.
I also suspect it's Kevin, but I don't think the old address necessarily means anything. If she and Miguel were meeting to do drugs, they might not want to meet up in public. However, as someone who grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, I am appalled that the driver wouldn't wait until they say the passenger go inside or, at the very least, meet another person. You don't leave someone to the elements, which is what tells me that Kevin is responsible.
@@JLynnEchelon it's just too odd not to play an important role in his guilt. There are no coincidences. They were all open about their drug use in their group they'd have no reason to hide it.
If he really cared at all he would have waited till he saw she was in the house and safe (maybe a light turning on) before pulling away. If he felt that the house was at all sketchy why would he not look out for a friend and a best friends little sister and at least do that.
@@katrinarose72 I agree. In combination with other information. ^^
Sounds like that could be the case but what would the motive have been?
This is why you get your children cell phones. It doesn't have to be a smart phone it can just be a basic flip phone but all kids NEED one in case of an emergency.
Whitney Dahlin yeah because there kidnappers not Gunna take it of them and say yes here you go, tell your parents where you are. Phone isn’t going to save a life.
Sophie Wordsworth it can help reduce something.
@@sophiewordsworth3510 no but it's a small chance rather than none at all.
Sophie Wordsworth cell phones pinging off towers can solve cases and has done so many many times.
@@sophiewordsworth3510 it isn't about the kidnapping tho. Did you even listen to what happened because she had no way to contact her parents? A week went by before they knew something happened. If she had a cell phone it may not have prevented her demise but she would have been reported missing sooner because her family would have knew something was wrong.
When the video of that guy popped out I almost had a heart attack
Yessss 🙈
I think I DID have one. Omfg
I don’t think I’ve been so shook in my life. Wow
Me too
Same! So freaky!
I remember when this case was happening, it really hit hard for me. Kayla and I are the exact same age, and she went missing right before our first year of high school. At the time, my friends and I really related to some of the details in her story- we also snuck out, lied to our parents to go to parties, smoked weed with 20something year old men when we were 14 and 15 years old. I distinctly remember having serious conversations with my friends at the time about being more careful, and how scary it is to think that if you lie to your parents about your whereabouts and something happens to you, they'll have no idea where to look. It really did change a lot of our risky behavior at the time, and I'm grateful for that. I hope Kayla and her family get the justice they deserve.
This case reminds me of both Skylar Neese and Sara Bushland. Kayla and Sara seemed to both be apart of wild hangouts with older men. And then the weed seemed like a ruse (like with Skylar's case).
I think he sexually assaulted her and then killed her. And tried to frame Miguel in order to get off. Hope they eventually find Kayla.
I really appreciate the way you speak. Sometimes with true crime videos it’s hard to keep track of who’s who, how they’re related, theories, what happened etc. but the way you lay it out is very clear, concise and obviously well-researched. I can only hope that your efforts will lead to more information being found, or even the people themselves.
@Freddie Mercury I feel the same way about crime watch. It's really hard to get into a case in 2 minutes. Danelle does do great work.❤🙏🏻
this was such a lovely comment, i hope Danelle sees this
Agreed! I often find myself confusing whos who when people are explaining cases on YT but this video was very easy to follow
Thanks Freddie ;)
But seriously, this channel is so informative of true crime, one of the best true crime channels I’ve come across!
Freddie Mercury she’s one of the best!💜💚
I have serious problems with Kevin. Cadaver dogs don't lie, and 20-something guys don't give teenage girls a heap of weed, then drive them around everywhere with nothing but innocent motivations. My best guess is that he made a move on her, maybe at the abandoned house, she resisted, he got forceful and she ended up dead, possibly by accident. It's one of the oldest stories out there.
The abandoned house that used to be miguels😒 and authorities said noone had been in there
neuralmute I agree with you
Cadaver dogs are a hit and miss. Everyone's body has a different scent dead or alive. I watched a documentary where Cadaver dogs have mistaken candy for a dead body.
@@andreag3681 What documentary was this? I'd like to see it. I'm sure it depends on their training, whether or not they ever make false positives, because the best are known to be pretty damn accurate.
I will look for it and let you know. It was in a documentary that I watched.
I'm only 18 minutes in, but I wonder if they went to the abandoned house to smoke the weed he brought and then something happened after that? I don't think a 24 yr old hanging around teenagers is ever a good idea!!!!!
I agree about adults hanging out with teenagers. I also come from really small village...around 3000 people living there. You would always say hi to everybody, as you always know their family or somebody who knows them. But wouldn't hang out and spend lots of time out of school or work place. My younger brother had a friend, who was 10 years older than him and none of our family liked that. Lifestyle of a teenager and young adult are so different there isn't much common interests. If adult is living a lifestyle of a teenager I would find it worrying xo
@@kolarsabina12 yes!!!!! Exactly!!!
Or smoking weed and drinking underage. So many red flags
Or Miguel could have been dealing out of it, and Kevin threw that address out to cops in the hopes they'd find that out and make him the main suspect...
I doubt Kayla ever went anywhere near that house
I think it's really cool that her brother James commented on this video. That's awesome that you brought awareness to this case. Keep up the good work!
I'm not sure how I'd feel about my young teenager bouncing around from house to house and hanging out with whomever they wanted without a damn cell phone.
They could have bought her a cheap one for safety reasons.
I can't say I agree with you saying they were contacting everyone they could, that there's something wrong with people giving them hell. As a mother myself, I understand some people do not see it necessary for their kid to have a phone.
But ask yourself, if you were in a situation where your young teen was bouncing around from place to place, had lied about something; you can't put your money together as her family and get a basic phone so that she'd have no excuse not to contact you?
Yes, I AM placing some blame on the parents. Absolutely mind boggling to me that she was knowingly all over the place, getting rides from whoever, lying about going to a party and scaring the daylights out of you, but you can't at least make sure she has a phone to call you or 911?
WEIRD.
Completely agree. Only someone without children would think these parents were in the right. Ridiculous. Who lets their daughter bounce around with MEN like that?
@@Shenanigan1720 im sorry to say this but yes i agree, at 15 shes way underage and should not have had that amount of freedom. sleeping at this friends and that friends, staying out late, going to parties, hanging out with much older men, it sounds like they didnt know where she was half the time, thats wrong, if my 15 yr old daughter says shes sleeping at a friends i would want to know exactly which friend, the address and the tel nr!!!!.....im terribly sorry for her family, but parents do need to control and supervise kids this age, especially girls, because they are so vulnerable to predators
She was living in the fast lane and her parents didn't put a stop to it especially after the lie...it'd seen time and time again that it doesn't work..at 15 she should be worried about school and her next outfit not weed and car rides plus parties...if my mum ever let me slept in anyone's house, she used to call the person..but she never let me sleep over at anyone's place while underage..I was only allowed when I was over 20 with a job...and she still called the house...yep..real parenting...
I can understand one or 2 days not calling police. But a week? That was a long wait. Regardless of what ppl said
you don’t think this family hasn’t spent years contemplating this very situation and wishing they could go back and change everything? i hope they never have to read any of your comments.
Thank you so much for talking about this story. She went missing from my hometown and is the same age as my siblings. It has bothered me every day since I last heard of her disappearance. I have driven past the place she was supposedly dropped off hundreds of times. I always wonder where she is and it is haunting. I hate the fact that there are people who must know what happened to her and they are just walking around like it is nothing. I really pray there is a resolution for her family and those of us in Wausau who always wonder...
I love the fact that you spend dome time explaining the person's background. I think it is always helpful to understand the case.
For the cadaver dogs finding something that many times... It can't be a coincidence, that looks like some kind of pattern. Knowing that her father died without a clue of what happened to her just breaks my heart. I hope something comes up soon for her family to have some sort of comfort :(
It can be a coincidence. Cadaver dogs hit on the scent of cadaver. Not the scent of a specific persons cadaver scent. Was his car a used car? Maybe the original owner had a heart attack in the car, it someone ODd in it. How many people work at the potato farm? Anyone who works there could have transferred the scent of cadaver on them if they hugged their dying grandmother as she died or wore a used shirt that went to Goodwill after a person died in their home where the scent got on the shirt. Soil could have been transferred from an area that a person died on. Maybe his uncle died in his house in 1997 and that's what cadaver the fog hit on in the home. Also, cadaver dogs are not infallible and they can't say anything other than I smell cadaver. No matter how much cadaver scent there is, they can pick up miniscule amounts if cadaver scent. The wind or dust or litter might blow scent from one area to the next. And sometimes they are just mistaking or getting cues from the handler to hit a certain area where there is no scent at all. Cadaver (and scent) dogs want to please their handler so if they sense the handler gives off that he or she wants a hit the dog may signal when nothing is there.
@@girlinabox1943 -Sure it could be mere coincidence that Kevin is a cadaver magnet. You're right. Or chances are he'd have been arrested on those hits. Still though, all the hits for the dogs leading to the same guy, are very suspicious to say the least.
raccoon in a box Too far fetched, and clutching at straws. The odds of 3 hits in 3 locations linking the same man who also happens to the last person to see her not being involved in her disappearance is extremely unlikely. Additionally, and statistically, it is always the last person to see the missing person in such cases and no matter how much that person denies their involvement, it’s confirmed once the case is solved. As far as I am aware, (I research a lot of crime) there isn’t a case out there were cadaver dogs hit three times in three places linked heavily to the last person who saw the missing person where that person was innocent, and that’s how rare it would be. I don’t think there is even a case with two hits, never mind three! Taking the totality of all the information together with the hits and that he was the last person to see her, the chances of it being someone else is the same chance of me living until I am 120.
I guarantee her father knows what happened/who did it now....& hopefully he’s haunting the crap outta that kid!😉
PrettyPistol86 I hope so, but then again I also hope the father is able to rest and be at peace and doesn't need to haunt anyone and hopefully he's been reunited with his baby girl
I believe that her Dad does know what happened to her, as they are reunited ✝️😔 All my love & prayers of comfort to her Mom & all who loved her ♥️🙏
I can't imagine losing the man I'm deeply in love with then also my child.
Jojo Elizabeth Me either 😔🙏
I believe the same. I think the moment he passed she was there to greet him
My roommate is from Antigo, and one of her high school friends is Kayla's cousin. My roommate is convinced that Kevin absolutely knows more than he's letting on.

So true, me too. And I was watching CinemaSins critique John wick 2 but I was like woop Danelle is here now, bye bye CinemaSins
by the way I'm only halfway done with this video but I think Kevin has everything to do with her disappearance. He's a ride b**** and he felt he had to entice her with herb... IDK everything about this dude gives me bad vibes
Same and that’s what I just did lol
Great presentation!
Kevin is my suspect. Too many red flags to count and it seems like he was waiting on a vulnerable person to victimize and Kayla fit the bill. Through no fault of her own she had so much going on in her life she probably did not pay attention to that feeling we get in the pit of our stomach until it was too late.
I hope a really tough interrogation expert gets to Kevin and he is compelled to confess what he did to Kayla.
Her family deserves some peace.
I'd never seen the Hi Walter video untill now and i actually felt like i was shot in the chest, im really glad that wasnt real.
Kelly H I had the same feeling
It's actually just one in a horror series, the people who made then were amateur actors making something for resumes.
I just watched the video again as I am working in a similar case and that video again scared me.

i remember seeing this case before, i’m so glad that you’re covering this
These answers lie with Kevin. There is just no way. This is the type of case that they say one little thing could change the entire case and finally bring her home. I hope someone comes forward.
If Kayla was killed, which seems likely, her dad may be with her now. Prayers for the family.
I don't think it's good how loose her care/supervision was. Being a teen can be dangerous and it seemed like she was always staying overnight at different houses with different people.
actressbrookesingleton I agree. Unfortunately, with a chronically ill father and separated parents this sometimes happens. But teens need a stable living situation and at least one person to know where they are at all times. I think we will unfortunately see more of this as kids from single parent homes float back and forth between two parents homes - especially when communication between divorced parents is not great - can leave a lot of gaps for a teenager to fall through! So sad.
If Kevin was really a nice man he would not have just dropped her off because she asked him to, he was the adult
I'm raising boys and when I text I better get a response or I'll go look for them. Don't want to beat up the parents but gotta say even a few hours of not knowing 100% where she was they needed to panic. Being a worry wart is what has kept my four boys safe. Hind sight is 20/20 unfortunately😞
My children are 7 and 8 and I am a very relaxed parent, when it comes to most parenting issues....but when it comes to my children outside of our home, I look like a crazy mom. I am super aware and always teach my children to be as well. They probably get sick of me but every time we walk out the door, it's time for a lesson. Teaching your children to be aware and most of all trust their intuition is so beyond important. I understand there are instances I can't control, but life is full of good and bad people and I choose to teach my children about both. We need to unite as parents.

I’ve always felt very passionate about this case, and I have never given up hope that someday her poor mother can have closure. It truly disturbs me knowing her body is possibly very close to me. Im so happy this case is finally getting the coverage it should have had since day one! Thank you again, it truly made my day to see you post this!
Thank you for covering this!!!
You should do a collab with Kendall Rae! 🙏🏻🤩✨🖤
Hippie Hollż yes!
Hippie Hollż oh yessss
Yessss
Hippie Hollż she needs to be a guest on the podcast!
They have beef cause kendall claims that danielle copied her videos smh.
Take a shot every time danelle says "incredibly"
Or “super”.
Why am I not surprised about all roads leading back to Kevin? I eagerly await an update from you, Danelle, and Thank you for breathing life back into her story, I pray that someone finds it in their heart to call in about what they know, because Someone Knows !🙏😔
It's 3:30am in Australia and I'm up watching, dedication 🤘😌
That’s so cool it’s 2:00 pm in Texas
12:20 Cali🏖️
I remember seeing the video and immediately remembering Kayla.. I was relieved when it came out to be a “project” those people were doing but good grief. What a shock... they got the reaction they wanted, but was released at the wrong time! (Or maybe they did that on purpose?) 😒
Kayla’s story is so frustrating and intriguing.. there’s only SO MANY people that can be involved.. someone knows something within her friends group.. at least that’s how I feel.
Thanks again for another wonderful video and bringing her name back to light. ❤️
when i heard "hi walter" i felt that all the way down my spine..
Thank you for bringing this case to your channel. As a mother, i can't even begin to imagine the horror of my child missing. Every opportunity to get the information out there is a blessing.
I look forward to your uploads more than I could ever explain! Thank you for all of your hard work!! Love you to pieces!
Could you make a video about Alissa Turney ? 💔
I felt like I was gonna puke when I saw that video.... I’m relieved that had nothing to do with Kayla. Though I believe she’s probably deceased at this point and I definitely think Kevin had something to do with it.
I truly appreciate how respectful you are in your videos. They're so full of heart and thorough research. I love that you could point out how True Crime Daily is not exactly true. That's really thorough in itself, and I'm glad you brought it up because that's how I originally heard about this case.
Rewatching this case as its one I find so intriguing. The "Hi Walter" video gets me every time. Something about it is so terrifying regardless whether or not it's related to her case.
No thing as a coincidence, exactly right. Kevin holds the key
They shouldn’t have a “balloon release” it’s really not good for the environment. I’m sure they could do something else besides that. Maybe a fund raiser for a cash reward? Idk something else tho
Good thinking❣️
Exactly what i was thinking. I get the meaning behind the whole balloon release. But in the end all they really are doing is putting animals at risk.
Of topic but you have gorgeous hair
TH-cam Account they’re a choking hazard for farm animals and have killed many of them
There is a cash reward.
Has been since day one.
Danelle I really do hope you’re taking the right actions to keep yourself mentally healthy. This is all super heavy stuff and I’m sure you’re working around it constantly 💕
I really wish that it was more common for kids to check in. There are too many cases where it’s normal for teens to be gone for days without their parents knowing. And that being their normal routine either parents wait too long to realize they are missing or police don’t take it seriously. It’s very sad.
that video scared the living s*** out of me 🥺 i even saw the trigger warning! what the actual hell were these people trying to do with that???
I wonder the same thing.
Arielle Simpson i totally understand that! i just wonder if there was any kind of description under the original video, or whether or not the artists disclosed the nature of the film. they don’t have to, but bc of the graphic nature i was wondering :)
I love your channel, really, but how come you don’t see an issue with a 15yr old dating a 19yr old......but have an issue with a 20yr old dating a 29yr old. So confused on that
I’ve been waiting to see if anyone covered this! I drive by where she went missing all the time :(
I live in Wausau, 45 minuites away from where she was from. so sad and so scary. There’s still billboards in Antigo 😩
I had no idea that I’d heard about kaylas story before until you talked about the hi Walter video. I saw the hi Walter story unfold on the news years ago and actually looked into her case a bit back then. It’s great to see a video actually giving context to her story years later!
Miguel sounds like a drug dealer or something like that. And Kevin sounds like the killer.
first case in a while that brought me to tears. when you said her father passed away, i absolutely lost it. if kayla has in fact been taken from this world as well, i hope that they are reunited in glory. i pray justice is served and the rest of the family can find closure. incredibly and truly heartbreaking.
Please talk about Maleah Davis!!!
Monica Morales I hope Danelle talks about her too
She has a case submissions form in the description box, send it to her there, so she’ll see it. I don’t believe she takes suggestions via comments.
Yes, yes, YES!! Such a heartbreaking story :((
I just searched her up and it says human remains were found. This was like 9 hours ago!
Sadly, due to both parents’ obvious poverty & inability to provide a stable home for their kids, this poor girl was bouncing around every night not knowing from day to day where she was going to sleep. A cot in a hallway is no way to take care of a minor child. So sad.
I live in Minnesota.... very close to Wisconsin, and I've never even heard of this case. I really hope her family gets closure. I can't even imagine what they're feeling 😢💔
Antigo is my hometown. I did not know her as she is 6 years younger than I, but this really rocked me when it happened. You never think it will happen in your town... until it does.
Thank you for covering this. I’m from Wisconsin and I haven’t heard of this case.
Isn't that crazy?? I'm from Wisconsin too, and that's how I was with the Fond du Lac case of the Halloween murder.
Miss Min same!
Elizabeth H which one is that? Is it on this channel?
@elizabeth I’m not sure I heard of that one either.
the intro music instantly makes me happier every time
LOVE seeing you post on my day off! Love your videos sooo much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Edit; you look phenomenal 😍
Just stumbled upon your channel - thanking the TH-cam algorithm Gods. Wonderful work! And so respectful to the family and loved ones, great job! It's good to see someone talk about these cases so we don't forget those whose voices can't be heard. Maybe some day more information can be learned.
I stumbled across your channel yesterday and I have nonstop been watching your vids. I truly appreciate how much you truly care and understand these cases. You’re not constantly reading off of anything. You just know the case. Which is really impressive and I can’t help but literally fall in love with your content.
If there's no proof that Kevin made the trip to Warsaw he could have been committing the crime and covering up during that time. That would explain the cadaver dog hitting his property, car, and job. I think Miguel may have been dealing and that's why he had this extra phone that was rarely used that he wanted to hide from authorities.
I am so sorry for her family. I think that unfortunately this can never be solved unless Kevin confesses and I don't think he will.
Also, saying that the filmmakers behind Hi Walter are tasteless and should not have made the video is not in any way right and it makes me angry. They didn't want to be involved in this case so they deserve to be left alone and create whatever content they want. Otherwise CSI and all that stuff on TV should not be produced either. Just saying because that really made me so sad, that this was said
Wait, if the alibi is based on the fact that Kevin supposedly dropped her off at the abandoned house why the hell would that matter at all?? Wouldn't he just be lying about either dropping her off to begin with or the time he dropped her off? Not to mention it's his mother giving the alibi so it's paper thin even if they can confirm she was dropped off at the abandoned house by someone.
This is why it’s so important to give your kids phones!!! She was 15 going on 16 and didn’t have a phone? And her parents knew she went over to friends houses and parties all the time and didn’t think to give her a way of contact? Smh.
Felt like I could throw up the moment I saw that video. It just sent a shock of fear through me
Yay best part of waking up!! Thanks for all you do!!♥♥
I must be old because I remember the old jingle "The best part of waking up is Folger's in your cup!"
@@TheSnyderWeb 😂 nope best part of waking up is Danielle
the best part of my Saturday is watching your videos ! you are such an amazing person
