@@DumpsterBB Well, drugs or food could certainly be bad depending on the exact items used & type of glitter involved but it seems odd given that there's reasonably safe types of glitter that are used extensively & very publically without any need for risk or secrecy. If they are using certain dangerous forms then sure they would not want that info getting out but then I also can't think of a reason besides cosmetics that people would use glitter & if they did, why they would not disclose because there's plenty of reasons to disclose & use safer types. So overall, unless using to conceal counterfeited goods, I don't really know why they would do it but coverup their usage. I suppose that currency counterfeiting might justify the secrecy but I doubt food, drugs or cosmetics/toiletries would qualify for this. There's literally plenty of already quite debatable & outright harmful compounds freely allowed in such without public disclosure or being any trade secrets. The limited exceptions would be the highly dangerous nanoscopic particles &/or highly toxic ingredients. However, in such a case the industry would be so tight lipped (no word can get out, so NDA covering everything should exist) because they would carry personal liability for knowingly exposing the public to highly dangerous compounds/ingredients. So I think we need way more evidence to make a judgement here. Finally, if illegal drugs, I doubt they care about glitter in any form (except maybe e but then it's a selling point); more importantly, if willing to sell illegal drugs, they wouldn't care but the companies might care but then why would the participate? I don't even think it's actually illegal to sell glitter you know will be used to make drugs pretty! I know I've never found anything like glitter in illegal drugs & I think most customers would be unhappy to find glitter in their drugs. But who knows, maybe for some it's a good thing/selling point (but then why secrecy)? Adam
After all the sadness in the video it really sounds like something horrible is going on with glitter, but if you think about it, it's probably harmless, otherwise the spokesman would not even joke about it.
@@ismelll3449 Pretty much my point with the NDAs & nobody be talking lightly. Even through I am incredibly belligerent in terms of my responses to the coverup I've dealt with, I'm never flippant or speak lightly about it. It's just too important to 1) not get the info out & 2) risk losing my only chance to get the truth out by wasting it talking to some random guy while under deep cover. Yes, I am a whistle blower & all existing political parties/politicians in the USA/Canada have actively participated in this cover up. Basically, it's a topical disinfectant soap called "Technicare" by "Caretech Ltd" (feel free to Google). Originally, it was created for surgeon to wash their hands/patients with prior to surgery to avoid infection; then it was discovered to not just clean the skin, it also prevented future recolonization & kills active established infections. It was quite literally nearly miraculous! For example, by combining technicare & topical nitroglycerin cream, it can cure gangrene (wet, dry, diabetic, etc.). Realistically, we were just starting to figure out what had been discovered, when the FDA swooped down to force everybody to stop, destroy all samples/studies, end all research, stop any production, etc. They pretty much destroyed the product & company to keep them silenced & covered up. Technicare's only crime was reducing how many pharmaceutical products they are able to sell for maximum profit to helpless people at their most vulnerable point. The FDA's claimed reason was obviously bs... Somehow a bacteria, technicare is known to unconditionally eradicate, in the most vulnerable cases, within seconds, in every one of the FDA's own studies; somehow is so contaminated with said bacteria (despite never causing any symptoms in any patient) that the FDA must destroy it all & never allow production again? Yeah, that's real believable! We are talking about the most vulnerable patients possible, just about dead already & with otherwise untreatable infections that are cured overnight. If there was any sort of serious contamination, the patients' would have had pretty bad issues. Another question the situation begs is simple; even if we assume they are not corrupted, why is it that no media org or politician once spoke against this unilateral deadly attack. All you can find online are people (mainly medical professionals) freaking out because there's nothing that can replace it & people are going to die/get sick because of it. You can find media that published the FDA's press release recalling/ destroying/banning technicare, so they definitely know but nobody dares to speak out against this obvious abuse of power. It's scary how quiet they've managed to keep this, I don't know how they managed to silence my colleagues. So, yeah, if we're talking about legitimately serious issues, than either people are shouting it from the roof tops (like me) or are deep under cover (like Snowden was prior). You don't see people being both flippant & serious at the same time. If it so happens that there's some serious cover up with glitter usage (beside the general known environmental issues), I seriously hope people have the courage to really blow the whistle instead of flippantly playing games. Until I see reasonable evidence, I see no reason to believe it. Adam
The step-dad was clearly involved. He gave way more details in the first text to his wife than needed which is a sign that a liar is trying to cover all their tracks. He's refusing to co-operate and talk about it plus he was caught in a lie that he didn't drop her off. Either something happened in the car leading to her death and he spent the day getting rid of her. Or, he gave her off to someone else as a possible sell.
That last one tho: -The stepdad lies about dropping her off -The stepdad calls in sick to work -The stepdad lies to his wife about the daughters fight time -The stepdad was the last one seen with the daughter -The stepdad has no aliby Cops: "hmmm, well it's definitely not the stepdad....Maybe aliens?"
I’ve read that tracking texts indicated that James was not near Katelin’s last recorded location when they were sent, as he was sending texts minutes after Katelin. He’d have to be in 2 places at once it seems.
@Smack Yeah, believe it or not, some looks are associated with sexual orientation. I know it's hard to believe for some of you, but that's just how it is.
for the glitter one i think it's car paint. this is a quote from the article: "I asked if she would tell me off the record. She would not. I asked if she would tell me off the record after this piece was published. She would not. I told her I couldn’t die without knowing. She guided me to the automotive grade pigments." It's obviously common knowledge that car paint sometimes sparkles, but car companies often try to give off an air of either sophistication or ruggedness, neither of which are very compatible with glitter paint. it might not seem like a big deal but companies that want to keep their image might not want to get their paint from a company that puts glitter into it. idk, just a theory.
Or even more likely, boat paint. That is also sparkly, and they make a *ton* of gel coat for any given boat. I suspect that "Glitterex" was so coy about it because they may want people to still be thinking about Glitterex (which we are, so mission accomplished?).
@@Ivan-cv4dl Yeah, how was he cleared? They don't mention that. He said he had to drop her off early because he had to work..and then didn't go to work. Wtf? He dropped her off at a transit station instead of the airport? Why? If he wasn't going to work, and time wasn't an issue, why drop her there instead? Because he didn't. He's a LIAR.
She may have been sold or traded to traffickers and they tried to make it look like a runaway. Sure would make those texts and the excuse on fb line up. If you want to throw off suspiciousness and investigators then all those texts look like buying time to get away. Plus it would only require a handoff by the stepdad. If he used her to pay off a debt or something similar he may have been trying to deal with his guilt ever since. Quite scary to think one can suddenly be betrayed like that.
"Improperly dressed" sounds like a polite way to describe either cross-dressing or public nudity. Edit: Someone mentioned it could mean improperly dressed for the weather
So that guy James clearly lied about dropping her off, since his car was never at the airport or anywhere and Katelin was not on the Metro, airport, or mall. He never showed up for work that day. AND he refuses to cooperate? And the damn cops ruled him out as a suspect!?? THIS is why cases like this never get solved!
Where was it said that James refused to cooperate? By the COPS and NOT her family??? The COPS NEVER said he didn't cooperate, and families need to blame someone. James is convenient. If the COPS eliminated him as a suspect, it is likely that HE HAD AN ALIBI... He was close to Kaitlin, maybe she confided in him about her cheating, and maybe, he didn't drop her off where he said he did, because SHE asked him NOT to tell anyone where he really left her. That's why he's not a suspect, because his alibi checked out, and Police know where Kaitlin went, at least for that day. That would explain no CCTV footage at the Metro or the Mall. But..."damn COPS..." Honestly, YOU PEOPLE!
@@oldyellerschannel4676 Ummm, actually they *did* say that he refused to cooperate. Not only did he refuse to take a polygraph, but he also refuses to give the police the password to his phone that's encrypted. He sent a text to Katelin's mother saying that he had dropped her off at the mall, where she asked to be dropped off. 8 minutes later, Katelin sent a text to her mother saying the stuff seen/heard in the video. Such as "I cant talk for awhile" and about how she isn't making her flight. Pretty convenient right? 8 minutes after he says to her mother that he dropped her off, she texts her mother confirming that? I dont buy it. Oh, but wait! The police confirmed that those texts were not sent from the mall OR the Airport. But from somewhere out by the highway. 2 days layer Katelin's luggage and pwrsonal stuff was found only a few miles from James' home. Which is quite a ways away from the airport. I suppose you believe that to be a coincidence, too? According to Katelin's family, he won't even talk to them about it or attend any memorials for Katelin at all. They have attempted several times to talk to him, to no avail. The cops say that James refuses to speak to them and basically wants nothing to do with them. He hasn't spoken to them in almost 2 years.
@@oldyellerschannel4676 It must suck to be such a know-it-all SJW who is then proven wrong with facts in evidence. Maybe before you jump down someone's throat as if you know wtf you're talking about, maybe do a simple google search. Otherwise, shut your damn fool mouth. Dumbass.
@ Let me give you a small tip. Just because you say something, that doesn't make it true or fact. Maybe I've lost credibility with YOU, but I want to make this perfectly clear. I don't give a flying fuck.
@@Brandon-rq3ys agreed and even if he didnt hurt her maybe he helped her run away? They were close and she did seem sad about what she had done so maybe she wanted to get away from all of it and ran way and he covered her tracks?
Detectives say they have not spoken to Branton two years. "No, he has nothing to do with us," says Detective Marshall. Investigators searched his home, taking a variety of guns, electronics and Branton's DNA, but there was nothing that would lead them to Katelin.
@@thebucketrider Isnt it plausible that maybe he helped her "escape" her old life? It was said they are close, so maybe instead of bringing her to the airport, he brought her somewhere else that took longer to drive, and thats why he couldnt attend work. Maybe they threw her case out of the vehicle on that way. If the step father would have just killed her, she must have told him about this cheating stuff beforehand. And I dont know, that would seem like a really awkward conversation to me. I could of course be completly wrong here and since I am very late to the party, maybe this case has already been solved....Just wanted to give my two cents anyways.
@@l.a.french3063 Especially since he could have easily faked where the texts took place by driving in his car. He threw out her suitcase 44 miles away from where he was supposed to have dropped her off from out of his car. He was in a hurry. He was obviously texting and trying to make it seem like she was still alive, and it was telling he also stopped as soon as they wanted her to call. It's so obvious. I can't believe the dropped it. Her first text was sent at 11ish only 2 hours after she was dropped off with him, AND he called in sick, after he had been adamant about when he needed to drop her off so he could go to work. He was feeling well enough to take her to the airport. I can't believe these cops.
@Corbin Moore tell that to all the people they shoot by "accident" for being "suspicious" they end up cripple or they end up dead and they get away with it
Sadly small town police forces dont normally have the knowledge or training for crime scene work. That goes to other jurisdictions such as parish/county, state, or federal. Theres even the small police forces that little towns have. They just dont know what to do or how to handle it sadly
The glitter one has been solved, the client is the boat industry. They mix glitter with a substance called gel coat which is a finish and protective coating. The secrecy doesn't come from the boat industry but the glitter producers. Glitter making machine are apparently pretty complex and there are very few in the world (in 1999, a man in Germany found glitter machines in an abandoned factory and was offered 140 000 euros each so they could be dismantled, understood and cloned) and even fewer companies producing the stuff (only two major players in the US). The business is very lucrative (an ex glitter producer compared the profit margins to selling cocaine) so they are pretty secretive to keep new competition from arising, saturating the market and bringing down the prices. It seems secrecy is part of their culture and extends to their big clients identity.
Adding to this... The TH-cam channel CHUPPL did a great investigative video on this a year or two ago. It's well worth a watch, but TLDR: A lot of the theories are somewhat true. Glitter or glitter-like substances show up in a lot of stuff, including paints, and yes the invention of glitter ties back to the military... sort of.
Likely not, but then who? Because I read that texting records actually indicate that James was not near Katelin’s supposed location when those texts were sent. Whoever sent them would have to be someone who knows what she did, too.
@@hkazu63 James raised her all her life so he would know her texting style as well, he wouldn't of made a mistake like that. It seems that someone who knew her very little or a stranger sent her last 2 texts
There's a local case where an electrician disappeared mysteriously, his car abandoned on the road. The cops supposedly searched the whole car for clues, but now people are wondering if that's true because two weeks later they found his body inside the trunk of the car. The only reason they even found it was because of the foul odor. How do you do a "whole car" check, and fail to search the trunk?
@@ZimVader-0017 Or all of those times they supposedly "combed the area" looking for a person/body only for it to be found days later in a spot supposedly already covered.
The glitter one you mentioned doesn't make sense. There are far cheaper options to put glitter in food that is actually able to be eaten. No one is going to buy more expensive glitter to put into food. Also, depending on what kind, the FDA wouldn't allow it. So there's that.
@@TallicatGames My guess is lotions. "Shoving glitter in your pours" doesn't sound very healthy for your skin (hence why they'd never want it to get out) and there's a ton of lotions with a weird sparkly-ness to them. Either that or makeup, but makeup seems really obvious. Or it could be used by civil engineers to give roads and sidewalks more decadence.
@@kodaskii5042 Make-up doesn't use sparkles, it uses Mica. Which is invariably worse. Mica is mined by Indian children, more often than not. When I found that out it made me overjoyed to know I'd never purchased nor used cosmetics. Child exploitation is huge in India and no one is doing anything about it. There's no reason to hide putting glitter in lotion. It isn't small enough to get into your pores anyway. And in fact there ARE some lotions that are popular because they have glitter in them...and glitter is used as a cosmetic all the time. It isn't either of those things. It can't be, because you can completely tell how much glitter there is. No, it's definitely something else and the only thing I could think of that was A: large-scale and B: would be surprising was that some paint-jobs on some new cars looks glittery. So that? idk. I'm not claiming to know without a doubt. That's just me guessing. xD
That second one really made me mad. Why did the cops not close off the place for investigation? If they had done a more competent job, then Kelly would've been found sooner or later.
pretty typical of police imo. Also the fact that she had to call them 3 times in order to get them to send someone is hilarious. And ill bet there is a decent chance they were only coming there to tell her to stop calling them or they will cite/arrest her for misuse of the police line. lol. I wouldnt be surprised, but I always see the worst in things.

@Philip Tucker the problem I have with this though is the dad tells her mom he dropped her off at the metro at 1:52pm for mall time. Why would he text her mom again at 2pm, only eight minutes later, as Kaitlynn, saying she's at the airport?
@@13crazydaisies precisely. I don't think he actually did do it. She wanted to be dropped off elsewhere, he obliged and that's that perhaps. Clearly she felt a lot of guilt and ran away / worse, but to me it honestly does seem like he just dropped her to where she asked to be dropped when having second thoughts. Just a bit weird that he called in sick, don't know about that, hmm
Philip Tucker i wonder if they dusted the girls phone to see if the step fathers fingerprints were on it also if he double texted in the same style her last texts were
I was thinking that but more like he was probably gay and living a double life and the man who came to the house was his lover and they ran off together lol something like that.
@@stray_cat2922 Lots of fathers are close to their son. There's no reason to assume that has anything to do with it. A father being close to their children is a normal thing and making it seem like it's not is an insult to fathers everywhere.
That strategy COULD make sense... but why not with glitter. Glitter isn't a product you want to buy more of because someone doesn't want you to know about it. There's 2 reasons to hide who their biggest buyer is. 1) It could damage the brand/company name. I can think of that being the porn industry... but I can't quite think of where the glitter would come in to play, certainly not in any large quantities. 2) The other is they could be sued over divulging who the buyer is. Which means someone wants to hide the fact that whatever it is they're making has glitter in it. Military would be a candidate. Or some sort of food product. McDonalds? They may be the only one insane enough to try such a thing. Or perhaps it's something being into to feed for animals. Now that's the only I can think of that would use glitter in an unconventional way. Meaning a way that isn't about SEEING the glitter. It wouldn't be kept a secret if it was obviously able to be seen in whatever product it is.

@@teresahowick5197 probably ruled out before things started seeming suspicious. Even then... Why wasn't he brought back for questioning after things became so obvious he had something to do with it? Very strange...
Pinging their phones showed that their texts were being sent from two different places in a timespan too short to allow one person to travel between them to send both sets of messages, thus highlighting that there were at least two people involved. Either James had an accomplice, or Katelin has vanished with his assistance.
@@missjopin Is there really a good way to go about it though? If you're desperate to run away and start a new life, simply disappearing and living under the radar would be a good way to hide. Pure speculation, but historically non-straight people were pretty good at pretending to be straight. Or could it be a safety thing: he contacts his son, the son tells people, angry homophobic crowd endlessly hunts him down or harasses the son for having a gay dad.
young goblin I like solved mysteries because you get the full story and closure to the situation. I also like unsolved mysteries because you get to theorize what happened and come to your own conclusion. Either way, both are fun.
I like the beach theory with the glitter. I’ve been to several beaches and resorts across the southwest and southeast of the US and some of the sand looked...well... sparkly is the only word that I can use to describe it. I mostly noticed it at resorts. Public beaches seemed to have normal, earthy sand, but the resorts’ sand always seemed...glittery. It really wouldn’t surprise me.

A few things about the Kaitlin story. *She never double texted people.* What about James? And what about the couple that she supposedly slept with? What are their texting habits? The phrase, “I cheated on you” almost seems fake. Perhaps one of the three (James/the couple) gained access to Kaitlin’s phone and was able to send those texts to Amber, depending on when the texts were sent. *Kaitlin stopped responding to calls/texts after double texting Amber.* How long was it between these two texts being sent and Kaitlin’s phone shutting off? *Kaitlin confided in a friend on Facebook that she had slept with the couple.* Where is said friend located? Is said friend also friends with Amber? If so, did the two ever speak of Kaitlin sleeping with the couple? Did the friend or Amber know the couple before Kaitlin’s disappearance? *Kaitlin’s suitcase was found on the side of the interstate.* Was the suitcase/it’s contents ever dusted for fingerprints?

I live in Virginia and I about died when you said you weren't doing our state any favors. You should cover the many cases of missing persons along US route 29, there's a lot that have occurred since the 1980s.
@@luciddreaming999 this is more so human trafficking related, not murders. There's a lot of crazy stuff that goes on out in central and western VA because it's so rural. Us 29 is where Alexis Murphy, Morgan Harrington, and Hannah Graham all went missing. But there have been plenty other cases in the past few years, and my sister lives off 29 and actually had a scary incident in which my oldest niece walked out of her bedroom and immediately called for my sister, because a man was standing in the their living room holding some sort of spray bottle. My sister is a tough mama bear, who has always been able to throw a punch, so she started in on the guy to see what he wanted, and he had a thick African accent and said he knocked, but he didn't. She started screaming aggressively and she scared the crap out of the guy, who ran out the door, and that's when she noticed he wasn't alone, as there were 2 other males in a large, dark blue Chevy SUV with heavily tinted windows. They sped off and she called the cops. But she got lucky, as she has two beautiful daughters, who are blonde with blue eyes and fair skin, which seems to be heavily targeted by human traffickers. My sister's comment after this was that they are lucky that they didn't wake the baby. It's scary though.

#6 - It's a conspiracy. The glitter market was in a slump. Despite the current economic situation, they've continued to stagnate. The arts & crafts market has surprisingly been progressing from glitter and the fad of strippers using glittery body lotion has long since passed for the most part. So, the the big two in the glitter industry had a meeting. They discussed their situation. *_"How can we make glitter interesting to people who aren't 6 year old children?"_* Then it hit one of them. *_"If we can't make glitter more interesting to people, then we'll make people more interested in glitter!"_* Just by chance one of them had an interview with a journalist coming up and he wasn't going to let the opportunity go to waste. This was his life's work on the line. This was a glitter factory that had been in his family for genrations. This was about almost a hundred people who counted on him and his family's glitter factory for jobs. Once they worked out the details, they made a pact. They would both tell the same story and *_neither_* of them would ever sell the other out for fear of public backlash and the damage it would cause the arts & crafts community. ....And there you have it. Glitter is going _exactly_ where you think it would go, we're just being led to believe that there's something else going on.
I don't think those pictures are going to be much help to anyone.. It's like drawing a square with a triangle on top and saying "Do you recognize this house?"
Yeah, most are definitely pretty bad. But sometimes they can help. At the very least they can (and have) turn the detectives on to people who resemble the drawings and one of those could very well be the one they are looking for.
Not at all. For a significant amount of serial killers, the details of their kills are incredibly important to them. Sort of how like big game hunters will have the facts of each hunt memorized: the weapon they used, the exact place they started the hunt, where they picked up the trail, how long it took, where they finally managed to bring their prey down, what they did with their prey, whether or not they took any trophies, why those trophies in particular and what significance they hold, etc. ^All of that, but swapping out an elephant for a human. The amount of detail that serial killers can remember is exactly akin to a hunter recollecting some of their favorite kills, as they pretty much treat humans as prey.
Jackson Jack well, when it's that or nothing, I guess it's better than nothing. At least it's a chance, no matter how slim, to give closure to a family.

"Because they don't want anyone to know it's glitter"
What an oddly ominous statement
My guess is that its in food, and or drugs (legal and illegal)
Yeah my immediate thoughts went to some really sinister crap!
@@DumpsterBB
Well, drugs or food could certainly be bad depending on the exact items used & type of glitter involved but it seems odd given that there's reasonably safe types of glitter that are used extensively & very publically without any need for risk or secrecy.
If they are using certain dangerous forms then sure they would not want that info getting out but then I also can't think of a reason besides cosmetics that people would use glitter & if they did, why they would not disclose because there's plenty of reasons to disclose & use safer types.
So overall, unless using to conceal counterfeited goods, I don't really know why they would do it but coverup their usage. I suppose that currency counterfeiting might justify the secrecy but I doubt food, drugs or cosmetics/toiletries would qualify for this.
There's literally plenty of already quite debatable & outright harmful compounds freely allowed in such without public disclosure or being any trade secrets. The limited exceptions would be the highly dangerous nanoscopic particles &/or highly toxic ingredients.
However, in such a case the industry would be so tight lipped (no word can get out, so NDA covering everything should exist) because they would carry personal liability for knowingly exposing the public to highly dangerous compounds/ingredients. So I think we need way more evidence to make a judgement here.
Finally, if illegal drugs, I doubt they care about glitter in any form (except maybe e but then it's a selling point); more importantly, if willing to sell illegal drugs, they wouldn't care but the companies might care but then why would the participate?
I don't even think it's actually illegal to sell glitter you know will be used to make drugs pretty! I know I've never found anything like glitter in illegal drugs & I think most customers would be unhappy to find glitter in their drugs. But who knows, maybe for some it's a good thing/selling point (but then why secrecy)?

After all the sadness in the video it really sounds like something horrible is going on with glitter, but if you think about it, it's probably harmless, otherwise the spokesman would not even joke about it.
@@ismelll3449
Pretty much my point with the NDAs & nobody be talking lightly. Even through I am incredibly belligerent in terms of my responses to the coverup I've dealt with, I'm never flippant or speak lightly about it.
It's just too important to 1) not get the info out & 2) risk losing my only chance to get the truth out by wasting it talking to some random guy while under deep cover.
Yes, I am a whistle blower & all existing political parties/politicians in the USA/Canada have actively participated in this cover up. Basically, it's a topical disinfectant soap called "Technicare" by "Caretech Ltd" (feel free to Google).
Originally, it was created for surgeon to wash their hands/patients with prior to surgery to avoid infection; then it was discovered to not just clean the skin, it also prevented future recolonization & kills active established infections.
It was quite literally nearly miraculous! For example, by combining technicare & topical nitroglycerin cream, it can cure gangrene (wet, dry, diabetic, etc.). Realistically, we were just starting to figure out what had been discovered, when the FDA swooped down to force everybody to stop, destroy all samples/studies, end all research, stop any production, etc.
They pretty much destroyed the product & company to keep them silenced & covered up. Technicare's only crime was reducing how many pharmaceutical products they are able to sell for maximum profit to helpless people at their most vulnerable point.
The FDA's claimed reason was obviously bs... Somehow a bacteria, technicare is known to unconditionally eradicate, in the most vulnerable cases, within seconds, in every one of the FDA's own studies; somehow is so contaminated with said bacteria (despite never causing any symptoms in any patient) that the FDA must destroy it all & never allow production again?
Yeah, that's real believable! We are talking about the most vulnerable patients possible, just about dead already & with otherwise untreatable infections that are cured overnight. If there was any sort of serious contamination, the patients' would have had pretty bad issues.
Another question the situation begs is simple; even if we assume they are not corrupted, why is it that no media org or politician once spoke against this unilateral deadly attack. All you can find online are people (mainly medical professionals) freaking out because there's nothing that can replace it & people are going to die/get sick because of it.
You can find media that published the FDA's press release recalling/ destroying/banning technicare, so they definitely know but nobody dares to speak out against this obvious abuse of power. It's scary how quiet they've managed to keep this, I don't know how they managed to silence my colleagues.
So, yeah, if we're talking about legitimately serious issues, than either people are shouting it from the roof tops (like me) or are deep under cover (like Snowden was prior). You don't see people being both flippant & serious at the same time.
If it so happens that there's some serious cover up with glitter usage (beside the general known environmental issues), I seriously hope people have the courage to really blow the whistle instead of flippantly playing games.
Until I see reasonable evidence, I see no reason to believe it.

The step-dad was clearly involved. He gave way more details in the first text to his wife than needed which is a sign that a liar is trying to cover all their tracks. He's refusing to co-operate and talk about it plus he was caught in a lie that he didn't drop her off.
Either something happened in the car leading to her death and he spent the day getting rid of her. Or, he gave her off to someone else as a possible sell.

😂😂😂😂. As someone from Oklahoma, I can vouch that there are still some men who have a mustache as fine as Lenny's.
for the glitter one i think it's car paint. this is a quote from the article: "I asked if she would tell me off the record. She would not. I asked if she would tell me off the record after this piece was published. She would not. I told her I couldn’t die without knowing. She guided me to the automotive grade pigments." It's obviously common knowledge that car paint sometimes sparkles, but car companies often try to give off an air of either sophistication or ruggedness, neither of which are very compatible with glitter paint. it might not seem like a big deal but companies that want to keep their image might not want to get their paint from a company that puts glitter into it. idk, just a theory.
I think you're probably right personally
Yeah. But why would this be a real surprise?
Or even more likely, boat paint. That is also sparkly, and they make a *ton* of gel coat for any given boat. I suspect that "Glitterex" was so coy about it because they may want people to still be thinking about Glitterex (which we are, so mission accomplished?).
Its boat paint, they don't want to talk about it because it's terrible for the environment.
I noticed that my car sparkles like glitter, so you’re right in my book.
99.99% sure that Katelyn's stepdad killed her. I've heard that case before and it's pretty obvious to me.

@@Ivan-cv4dl Yeah, how was he cleared? They don't mention that. He said he had to drop her off early because he had to work..and then didn't go to work. Wtf? He dropped her off at a transit station instead of the airport? Why? If he wasn't going to work, and time wasn't an issue, why drop her there instead? Because he didn't. He's a LIAR.
She may have been sold or traded to traffickers and they tried to make it look like a runaway. Sure would make those texts and the excuse on fb line up. If you want to throw off suspiciousness and investigators then all those texts look like buying time to get away. Plus it would only require a handoff by the stepdad. If he used her to pay off a debt or something similar he may have been trying to deal with his guilt ever since. Quite scary to think one can suddenly be betrayed like that.

So that guy James clearly lied about dropping her off, since his car was never at the airport or anywhere and Katelin was not on the Metro, airport, or mall. He never showed up for work that day. AND he refuses to cooperate? And the damn cops ruled him out as a suspect!??
THIS is why cases like this never get solved!
Where was it said that James refused to cooperate? By the COPS and NOT her family???
The COPS NEVER said he didn't cooperate, and families need to blame someone. James is convenient.
If the COPS eliminated him as a suspect, it is likely that HE HAD AN ALIBI...
He was close to Kaitlin, maybe she confided in him about her cheating, and maybe, he didn't drop her off where he said he did, because SHE asked him
NOT to tell anyone where he really left her.
That's why he's not a suspect, because his alibi checked out, and Police know where Kaitlin went, at least for that day.
That would explain no CCTV footage at the Metro or the Mall.
But..."damn COPS..." Honestly, YOU PEOPLE!
@@oldyellerschannel4676
Ummm, actually they *did* say that he refused to cooperate. Not only did he refuse to take a polygraph, but he also refuses to give the police the password to his phone that's encrypted.
He sent a text to Katelin's mother saying that he had dropped her off at the mall, where she asked to be dropped off. 8 minutes later, Katelin sent a text to her mother saying the stuff seen/heard in the video. Such as "I cant talk for awhile" and about how she isn't making her flight.
Pretty convenient right? 8 minutes after he says to her mother that he dropped her off, she texts her mother confirming that? I dont buy it. Oh, but wait! The police confirmed that those texts were not sent from the mall OR the Airport. But from somewhere out by the highway.
2 days layer Katelin's luggage and pwrsonal stuff was found only a few miles from James' home. Which is quite a ways away from the airport. I suppose you believe that to be a coincidence, too?
According to Katelin's family, he won't even talk to them about it or attend any memorials for Katelin at all. They have attempted several times to talk to him, to no avail.
The cops say that James refuses to speak to them and basically wants nothing to do with them. He hasn't spoken to them in almost 2 years.

Me too. It sounds like the only evidence exonerating him was the text message tracking, but that is really weak.
Detectives say they have not spoken to Branton two years.
"No, he has nothing to do with us," says Detective Marshall.
Investigators searched his home, taking a variety of guns, electronics and Branton's DNA, but there was nothing that would lead them to Katelin.
@@thebucketrider Isnt it plausible that maybe he helped her "escape" her old life? It was said they are close, so maybe instead of bringing her to the airport, he brought her somewhere else that took longer to drive, and thats why he couldnt attend work. Maybe they threw her case out of the vehicle on that way. If the step father would have just killed her, she must have told him about this cheating stuff beforehand. And I dont know, that would seem like a really awkward conversation to me. I could of course be completly wrong here and since I am very late to the party, maybe this case has already been solved....Just wanted to give my two cents anyways.
@@l.a.french3063 Especially since he could have easily faked where the texts took place by driving in his car. He threw out her suitcase 44 miles away from where he was supposed to have dropped her off from out of his car. He was in a hurry. He was obviously texting and trying to make it seem like she was still alive, and it was telling he also stopped as soon as they wanted her to call. It's so obvious. I can't believe the dropped it. Her first text was sent at 11ish only 2 hours after she was dropped off with him, AND he called in sick, after he had been adamant about when he needed to drop her off so he could go to work. He was feeling well enough to take her to the airport. I can't believe these cops.
@@Ojo10 Yes. We don't know the whole story, but it definitely seems the police were lazy or incompetent.

_Those darn glitter producers are up to something._
And it sounds like a coordinated effort to remain silent....cue Twilight Zone music with Rod Serling looking "FAB-U-LUSS!"
The glitter one has been solved, the client is the boat industry. They mix glitter with a substance called gel coat which is a finish and protective coating. The secrecy doesn't come from the boat industry but the glitter producers. Glitter making machine are apparently pretty complex and there are very few in the world (in 1999, a man in Germany found glitter machines in an abandoned factory and was offered 140 000 euros each so they could be dismantled, understood and cloned) and even fewer companies producing the stuff (only two major players in the US). The business is very lucrative (an ex glitter producer compared the profit margins to selling cocaine) so they are pretty secretive to keep new competition from arising, saturating the market and bringing down the prices. It seems secrecy is part of their culture and extends to their big clients identity.
Adding to this... The TH-cam channel CHUPPL did a great investigative video on this a year or two ago. It's well worth a watch, but TLDR: A lot of the theories are somewhat true. Glitter or glitter-like substances show up in a lot of stuff, including paints, and yes the invention of glitter ties back to the military... sort of.
I don't think Katelin was sending those texts...really strange case
The text she sent about staying at her friends definitely wasn't her, u just don't change your texting style
Likely not, but then who? Because I read that texting records actually indicate that James was not near Katelin’s supposed location when those texts were sent. Whoever sent them would have to be someone who knows what she did, too.

That strategy COULD make sense... but why not with glitter. Glitter isn't a product you want to buy more of because someone doesn't want you to know about it.
There's 2 reasons to hide who their biggest buyer is. 1) It could damage the brand/company name. I can think of that being the porn industry... but I can't quite think of where the glitter would come in to play, certainly not in any large quantities.
2) The other is they could be sued over divulging who the buyer is. Which means someone wants to hide the fact that whatever it is they're making has glitter in it.
Military would be a candidate. Or some sort of food product. McDonalds? They may be the only one insane enough to try such a thing. Or perhaps it's something being into to feed for animals.
Now that's the only I can think of that would use glitter in an unconventional way. Meaning a way that isn't about SEEING the glitter. It wouldn't be kept a secret if it was obviously able to be seen in whatever product it is.

….only shooting stars break the mold...
Yeah I'm thinking diamonds or jewelry too lol maybe grillz like in your mouth
@@spindalis79 shooting stars...
stars twinkle.
glitter twinkles.
OF COURSE!
IT'S THE FUCKING STARS!
That’s Adam West-type detective work.
hey now
James HAD to do it. How could he not be a suspect anymore if he specially told Lisa that HE dropped Katelin off at the metro and his car wasn’t seen on the cameras at the metro?! SMH
Jake Doss right??? How was he ruled out? Makes no sense.
You look soy
Alot of cops don't care :/
@@teresahowick5197 probably ruled out before things started seeming suspicious.
Even then... Why wasn't he brought back for questioning after things became so obvious he had something to do with it? Very strange...
Pinging their phones showed that their texts were being sent from two different places in a timespan too short to allow one person to travel between them to send both sets of messages, thus highlighting that there were at least two people involved. Either James had an accomplice, or Katelin has vanished with his assistance.

hey..it could be worse ! you could be from wisconsin
Virginia is fine it’s nova that sucks
Idk but the will case makes me feel like he was hiding the fact that he was gay, and left w his lover. Idk man. I just got that feeling
Yeah, that man was looking very gay. As I said before, Brokeback Mountain anyone?
He left without saying goodbye to his son?
I agree, but would he really be that shitty and never contact his son again? I just can’t believe it..
@@missjopin Is there really a good way to go about it though? If you're desperate to run away and start a new life, simply disappearing and living under the radar would be a good way to hide.
Pure speculation, but historically non-straight people were pretty good at pretending to be straight. Or could it be a safety thing: he contacts his son, the son tells people, angry homophobic crowd endlessly hunts him down or harasses the son for having a gay dad.
The unknown man in prison. Drug him up with a dirty ecstasy and some indica and he'll tell you who he is.
get this man some DMT
why?
@phillip martin yup yup
Agreed. Just to see how long he lasts with that lie.

I always love unsolved mysteries, its always intriguing and interesting
young goblin I like solved mysteries because you get the full story and closure to the situation. I also like unsolved mysteries because you get to theorize what happened and come to your own conclusion. Either way, both are fun.
What if it's one of your family members. Would you love the mystery still?
Jason Kim I would want the mystery solved so I could have closure.👍
you know, I don't know how you do it but you always manage to find stories and mysteries that are totally new. Well done my dude!
I woke up this morning wanting a Lazy Masquerade Video! My prayers have been answered!
I've been wondering when you'd come back, it's always great seeing a new video from you! Nice outro btw!
I like the beach theory with the glitter. I’ve been to several beaches and resorts across the southwest and southeast of the US and some of the sand looked...well... sparkly is the only word that I can use to describe it. I mostly noticed it at resorts. Public beaches seemed to have normal, earthy sand, but the resorts’ sand always seemed...glittery. It really wouldn’t surprise me.
I know this is an old video, but it’s been all but confirmed that it’s sporting boats. What’s weird is that the military buys a large amount of glitter as well.
@@rejectre-run4213 Not that weird. Glitter moves light around in interesting ways. The military has a significant reason to want to manipulate or control light reflections.
Thanks for taking the time out to create subtitles, Lazy! Its incredibly helpful for somebody like me who is a deaf. I appreciate it :)
James definitely has to do something with this
Short Clips What about the couple? Perhaps they had something to do with it
@@twoha7vds59 no
My theory about the glitter is that it has something to do with how you find it freaking everywhere who knows maybe the government is doing a social experiment to see how long people will deal with finding glitter all over the damn place
Good god, I only came across your channel a few weeks ago and I am OBSESSED!
Good job, I’ve just made a fresh cuppa and got myself some crumpets. Lets go 🤘🏼
You're in for a spooky ride!
Found out about your channel yesterday and I'm hooked binge watching these for hours😍
What’s crazy is that any of us could be in one of these videos someday. All it takes is a few bad decisions or a few unlucky events and any of us could be part of mysteries like this
Thanks for forever boggling my mind about the glitter mystery 🙄😄 Someone should make it their mission to solve that!!
Hahaha same! I'm like obsessing over what it could possibly be.
I've already spent almost an hour researching it 😑 I'm trying to make myself move on but it's just so damn mysterious 🤯
We need to get someone on the inside!
The Great Glitter Caper. 😆
Damn. Who knew that glitter would be so mysterious. I guess I have a good reason not to use it now.
Also, nice new outro. I'm going to miss the old one but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the new one.
I'd assume this largest, "secret" purchaser of glitter to be something like the military/defense or the aerospace industry.
Omg omg omg!!! I’ve been waiting for this and I never get here this early! Huge fan Lazy. You are hands down my favorite narrator. Thanks!
Sorry kinda fangirled out there for a minute. 🖤💚🖤💚
WeirdChamp
YES!!! Great to see you’ve returned! You’re my absolute favorite TH-camr, and it’s a delight every time you post a video, you do such important work when you post these videos, especially regarding unsolved murders.
Love how simple you keep your videos.. no music we just listen to you narrate

I have no doubt that it was the step dad.
Something about him seems off
Probably the cellar he is keeping her in. 😡
Yeah I completely agree that man is totally buying all the glitter you’re so right
Same. My hunch is that she never left his house alive.
EDIT: Finding all her important things in her suitcase is really the icing on the foul play cake. Even if she couldn't face her life with Amber again, living people still NEED those things....especially money and clothes.
I dunno, some people behave weird or defensive when faced with adversity. Sure, he could be involved or know something about it but this could also be the way he reacts when processing loss; we all process loss differently.
He took the day she disappeared off and he won't cooperate with police. I would really like to find out how he got cleared. If it was something concrete, why didn't they say it to take suspicion off of him?
The "Endless Thread" podcast has since solved the glitter mystery. It's "heavy flake" car and boat paint.

It can be the guy intentionally misspell the word OR the username was taken.

So you’re telling me some of the people were smiling when they realized “what was about to happen to them”? Think not, mate
Katelin's disappearance seem to have something to do with James. Not sure how, but something.
@ Well yes but perhaps no. Depends on what you do with the chip. Teeth doesn't kill sheep.
@ technology doesn't do harm itself. They need people to do good or bad.
@ Sorry, but you have a weird family. Is your last name Addams?
It was high-time! Missed you, you cheeky globetrotter
Thanks!
And thank you so much for the support!
Just woke up to this and a heavy thunderstorm.
Thank you, Lazy. I have missed you!!
A few things about the Kaitlin story.
*She never double texted people.*
What about James? And what about the couple that she supposedly slept with? What are their texting habits? The phrase, “I cheated on you” almost seems fake. Perhaps one of the three (James/the couple) gained access to Kaitlin’s phone and was able to send those texts to Amber, depending on when the texts were sent.
*Kaitlin stopped responding to calls/texts after double texting Amber.*
How long was it between these two texts being sent and Kaitlin’s phone shutting off?
*Kaitlin confided in a friend on Facebook that she had slept with the couple.*
Where is said friend located? Is said friend also friends with Amber? If so, did the two ever speak of Kaitlin sleeping with the couple? Did the friend or Amber know the couple before Kaitlin’s disappearance?
*Kaitlin’s suitcase was found on the side of the interstate.*
Was the suitcase/it’s contents ever dusted for fingerprints?

Someone is planning on building a giant glitter bomb to sprinkle all over the U.S.
duuuuuuuh
Honestly i wonder if they put it in cars to make them look shinier
Why has no one mentioned giant bath bombs? X3 Also, the first thing that came to mind was beauty companies that sell bath bombs. Those usually have glitter in them, but the way the spokesperson is saying it, it sounds like they're putting glitter in things there shouldn't at all be glitter. Which is just very bizarre.
@@CyberBunny33
Yeah, exactly they make it sound like some big secret but glitter in bath bombs is practically a standard known ingredient.
It could hardly be even termed secret! I mean you can see it right there in the bath bombs. It's the same for all gras glitter.
I'm betting on either currency counterfeiting, maybe fetishes (technically not secret but maybe the owner's a prud or getting off swimming in it), or extreme toxicity cover-up...

I live in Virginia and I about died when you said you weren't doing our state any favors. You should cover the many cases of missing persons along US route 29, there's a lot that have occurred since the 1980s.
Aaaa thats terrifying i live in VA and havent heard anything about 29 or 81. I lived off of 29 and now i live right off 81. I hate this ;3;
Im from VA. I live near Richmond, so unsolved murders are kind of the norm.
@@luciddreaming999 this is more so human trafficking related, not murders. There's a lot of crazy stuff that goes on out in central and western VA because it's so rural. Us 29 is where Alexis Murphy, Morgan Harrington, and Hannah Graham all went missing. But there have been plenty other cases in the past few years, and my sister lives off 29 and actually had a scary incident in which my oldest niece walked out of her bedroom and immediately called for my sister, because a man was standing in the their living room holding some sort of spray bottle. My sister is a tough mama bear, who has always been able to throw a punch, so she started in on the guy to see what he wanted, and he had a thick African accent and said he knocked, but he didn't. She started screaming aggressively and she scared the crap out of the guy, who ran out the door, and that's when she noticed he wasn't alone, as there were 2 other males in a large, dark blue Chevy SUV with heavily tinted windows. They sped off and she called the cops. But she got lucky, as she has two beautiful daughters, who are blonde with blue eyes and fair skin, which seems to be heavily targeted by human traffickers. My sister's comment after this was that they are lucky that they didn't wake the baby. It's scary though.
I remember years ago going towards Lynchburg from Richmond thinking how many people could die in that Backcountry and people would never know... Roanoke, VA has a weird vibe as well...
@@RahubaatNeteru exactly! And there are so many people that disappear in this area and the wilderness doesn't help either. There have been a lot of people reporting human trafficking attempts in both Lynchburg and Roanoke, so it's not all that surprising. But 29? There have been hundreds of people disappear along that stretch of road, but no one really talks about it.
My theories on the glitter mystery:
1. toothpaste
2. Cremes/lotions
3. Coffins?
How would glitter be used with coffins?
It's not anything that looks glittery. They said you wouldn't know that it's glitter by looking at it.
@@brohemianrhapsody5740 every coffin I see on TV definitely have a glittery shine
#6 - It's a conspiracy. The glitter market was in a slump. Despite the current economic situation, they've continued to stagnate.
The arts & crafts market has surprisingly been progressing from glitter and the fad of strippers using glittery body lotion has long since passed for the most part.
So, the the big two in the glitter industry had a meeting. They discussed their situation.
*_"How can we make glitter interesting to people who aren't 6 year old children?"_*
Then it hit one of them.
*_"If we can't make glitter more interesting to people, then we'll make people more interested in glitter!"_*
Just by chance one of them had an interview with a journalist coming up and he wasn't going to let the opportunity go to waste.
This was his life's work on the line.
This was a glitter factory that had been in his family for genrations. This was about almost a hundred people who counted on him and his family's glitter factory for jobs.
Once they worked out the details, they made a pact. They would both tell the same story and *_neither_* of them would ever sell the other out for fear of public backlash and the damage it would cause the arts & crafts community.
....And there you have it. Glitter is going _exactly_ where you think it would go, we're just being led to believe that there's something else going on.
I think I just found my soul mate. I LOVE the way you think.
I don't think those pictures are going to be much help to anyone..
It's like drawing a square with a triangle on top and saying "Do you recognize this house?"
same - my first reaction was "hmm, i think ive seen some of those cases" but then its one case. theyre pretty generic jane doe portraits
Yeah, most are definitely pretty bad. But sometimes they can help. At the very least they can (and have) turn the detectives on to people who resemble the drawings and one of those could very well be the one they are looking for.
"what happened to lenny who was that man"
me: my theory is lennys gay and that was his new husband
Omg!!!! I was just on your page looking for some new vids!!! Thank you!!!
Seems a bit rinky dink to trust the killer to remember and detail the faces.
Not at all. For a significant amount of serial killers, the details of their kills are incredibly important to them. Sort of how like big game hunters will have the facts of each hunt memorized: the weapon they used, the exact place they started the hunt, where they picked up the trail, how long it took, where they finally managed to bring their prey down, what they did with their prey, whether or not they took any trophies, why those trophies in particular and what significance they hold, etc.
^All of that, but swapping out an elephant for a human. The amount of detail that serial killers can remember is exactly akin to a hunter recollecting some of their favorite kills, as they pretty much treat humans as prey.
Even the ones who were supposed to be white he drew them as black. Maybe his color selection was limited.
Jackson Jack well, when it's that or nothing, I guess it's better than nothing. At least it's a chance, no matter how slim, to give closure to a family.
They're also known to BS for infamy.
It's clearly the mob buying all the glitter.
So...you're saying...there's a REAL gay mafia.....
All of the mysteries on this channel wre commited by the mob
Hell yeah, procrastination fuel
You make the best videos about creepy photographs and mysteries, you put effort into finding new and fresh material. Good job!
I've watched a lot of your videos, Lazy, but this is one I keep returning to watch every few months. There's something about these particular stories which truly disturbs me. Kudos, on your ability to find oddities like this scattered throughout the internet.
Never expected my hometown to have an unsolved mystery, nothing like that usually happens in Harrisonburg.
I live in VA too. Born & raised. Lots of crazy things happen here..
@NotSnarl ok and? She was saying in that state weird things happen so shut up
I'm glad I discovered this channel, I would put on these videos and go to sleep. I had to stop doing that though because I'd be half asleep and the hanniya mask at the end would startle me awake.
Somehow I've missed watching your videos for months, and I am _so ready_ for the binge that's about to start!
I love your channel! It's always new and fresh content. Plus you put time in your research and it shows.
Never been so early to a Lazy video! Gonna go throw this on the Roku so I can watch it on the big screen!
