Lots of people heard her screaming for help, but don't worry--they fell right back asleep with no problems.
I hear this a lot in these types of videos. Any other time, the neighbor would call the law for the slightest offense, but loud screaming in the middle of night? No biggie.
Nobody is ruining my vacation. 😂 sorry pam
A few days ago I visited my in laws. Recently someone tried to break into a neighbours house at night whilst they were home. They didn't call the Police.
SMH 🤦♀️!!!
I couldnt live with myself if my inaction led to something as awful as this. I dont know how they do
If someone told me there might be bodies buried in my yard, I'd say, "Hell yes! Dig the whole thing up!"
If you hear someone screaming surely you would at least be curious to see whats happening rather than just ignore it completely
I don't blame anyone for not going to look but I don't understand why no one called. I understand that was before cell phones but surely the hotel had phones?
I know that I would call without hesitatation.
At a hotel I would call , also go get some more people to go outside and see.
You just don’t ignore people screaming for help . That’s insane and morally disgusting.
Just as crazy as ignoring ,or in the US ;shoting people at your door looking for help 😢
Maybe the people thought a woman was "dying" for attention. 99.9% of the instances they are. i dont blame the people.
Depends where you live, foxes scream outside my window all night where I live, and a lot of people fight or get high. It gets hard to distinguish and sometimes police won't come out or your someone's party pooper.
She was heard screaming and no-one helped. What a society we live in. Hopefully one day she'll be found for the sake of her family.
Kidnappers should be in prison for life and they can’t do it again. Never let them out
Right on!!! Capital punishment is better. They're never going to reoffend and destroy more lives
I will never understand when people don't call the police when they hear someone s reaming for help. 😢
Me either. Perhaps they're guilty of something they don't want revealed.
In some parts of the US, you'd be calling the cops 27 times a day. And they'd probably arrest you for wasting their time.
It's usually because of the bystander effect. A lot of people may assume someone else has already called, or assume that the issue isn't as bad as they may think and they don't want to waste the officer's time. Somebody might hear a gunshot and assume it was the backfire of a car engine. They might hear two people arguing loudly and not want to get involved. It's not great, but it happens enough.
I know right?
I think I might have missed something; did people hear her screaming on the beach or were they in a hotel? The beach was mentioned but then a hotel.
If the family, "supposedly" bought a resort in Panama City, why didn't she stay there?
I'm a native of Atlanta, Georgia and remember this case well. Andrew didn't get half of the press that this did here! It hurt me to the core that people heard her cries for help but nobody thought to call the police! A similar case had just happened in Atlanta so it put a double-shock on young women like me, especially when traveling with small children. While I fear that the rains that swamped the city wiped away any trace of convicting her killer, I've always hoped that her remains would one day be found so her children can have some closure. She is still missed by those who love her. I truly appreciate you covering this one, DC! It never had a lot of national attention, which I never understood.
I agree with many of the comments here. I find it incredible that no one bothered to call the police on hearing someone screaming for help, let alone going out to see what was happening.
If i ever hear a female or male loud screams for help or screams kd being attacked or whatever, i am calling the police asap.
You probably don't live in an area where there's screaming practically every night.
You must live in a place where crime is almost non existent.
I bet you won’t be so quick to call police if you hear it in the ghetto.
@@carltonthepug probably you are right, screams of any kind are quite rare where i live. And my people isnt that aggressive for petty things. So probably youre right.
The bystander effect is real ... and its so unfortunate.😢
Your stories are always very interesting and often less known cases!
I really hope that those people who heard her screaming and did nothing, never forget and never sleep well again. May it stay with them always
This is my hometown. I've lived in Panama City all of my adult life too. I remember this case so well and can't tell you the number of times I drove across the Hathaway bridge to the beach where I worked for years and years, and seeing her face on a bill board asking for information on this case. I've always wondered what happened to her and even asked people if they had ever heard anything about it. Alot of this I never knew. Thank you so much for covering this. May she rest in peace 🙏
Convicted of first-degree murder of an expectant mother and only sentenced to 25 years????!? If he did in fact kill Pam as well, that could have easily been prevented had he been given the proper sentence originally for his prior crime: Life, no parole.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing the video & enjoy the rest of your weekend!
This is SO STRANGE!!! Maybe I missed it, but she drove to Florida from Georgia for a vacation while the hurricane was coming, and she couldn’t find a place to stay but her family had a hotel there?!?!?! 😳😳
She disappeared while her children slept in the car? Dang. Why would she go with him anyway?
So it's her fault? Wow. We don't know what he told her. SMH.
@@michelleprieur1She didn't say it was her fault. You must have imagined it.
I'd presume it's likely she actually knew him or he threatened the kids if she DIDN'T go with him
@@eadweard.I didn't imagine anything. "Why would she go with him" is implied blaming. You must have imagined that I made a statement. I didn't. I asked a question.
Maybe the man threatened her with a gun.?
Sad story. 😟 I wonder what really happened to her. Great video, thank you!👍🙂
Her poor family.
Love that place I stay a week a few years ago in the covid year and found my peace there it was almost heaven and the people where the friendly and kind souls I every meet in my life, I always thought my town was friendly when I leave but people there made me feel so at home… the shops and the people who work there do everything to make you feel welcome…sad such a tragedy happen there .. but bad people live everywhere.. even in my small town.. RIP Pam..
@3:12 Wait, she locked the car door with the kids inside but left the keys in the car too?
Very odd! 🤔something isn’t right there. You don’t leave your young kids alone in a strange area in the car!!
@@Linda-in9ns It's almost as if she was kidnapped 🤦
She intentionally does seem to have chosen specifically to do it though... that part anyway. IDK. It felt like conflicting information.@@balanceofjudgement6136
Maybe whoever did this threatened to take the car with the kids and that's what she did to protect them?
What a coincidence. We are going to PCB tomorrow to take pictures on the beach 🏖️ It is so beautiful. Chipley is also a neighboring town to us. May Pamela be found one day🩷
RIP Pamela Ray 🙏🏾💗🕊️
How awful, the not knowing. Imagine her children going over and over those last moments, in the car with their mother. Poor Pam I wonder what became of her.
Alot of these unsolved cases there always seems to be an "off-duty" officer somewhere nearby. Makes me curious.
I was watching Autopsy on HBO yesterday and Eagle had been used to find blood in a freshly painted basement. He even was able to smell a few drops of blood in a paint pan and roller that had wet paint on it.
Pamela likely knew the man she walked off with or he threatened her children if she didnt go with him. They're the only two scenarios I can envision where she'd leave her kids that way. 😢
Or she could have been going to score some type of drugs
Good observation lol..
@@michaelmooney6701Yeah. Don't forget the negative 🤔
@@laurametheny1008 women think with emotion, most men think with facts and statistics
Monopoly lied to us. Bank Error in your favor is such bs.
It deffo lied when it said I'd won a beauty contest.
So, a 4 year old was instructed to dig holes to hide remains? And remembers doing so? Hmm...
Florida is beautiful:)
How tragic!
Her parents had a resort but why didn’t she stay there?
Pissed me off about the cadaver dog being a fraud.
Eagle. It was his owner who was the real fraud.
Dumb dog was full of shit.
@@KohalaLoveryes exactly its not the dogs fault the owner is the fraud.
This was really weird and disturbing. Poor kids! Couldn't wrap my head around her leaving them until I saw another comment here from Aundria. She must be right. Either Pamela knew the guy or he threatened her and the kids somehow. RIP Pamela a very good Mom. God bless her kids and loved ones. Thank you DC🙏💔🕊️🪽🦌
$400,000 !! Wow
The music was the same volume as the spoken part. Nice work!
🥺🥺
Its unlikely that a struggle occured in the car if the children were asleep inside of it because any bit of thrashing would surely have awakened them so she was likely a bit away from her car prior to her disappearance if she was kidnapped i reckon
Panama City. Florida.
I feel bad that no one came out to check and see what was going on. They heard the scream and did nothing. Even no one called the police to inform them about the screams. Poor Pamela with no one to save her,. If only they investigated who was screaming maybe she would have been spotted and saved.
If I ever hear someone screaming I just yell shut up and close the window.
One obvious ? I have is why leave for a summer trip with ur kids late at night? Also, why not make room reservations months prior; cuz idk 🤷🏼♂️ summer is the busiest time of the year for hotels 🧐
I’m one of 5 children and when we were all younger, we scrunched in a Chevy Suburban in the 90s for our summer vacations and went to Palm Springs and/or San Luis Obispo. My rents always had everything single thing prepared for all of us every time.
Very strange story to me! 😏
Because the kids sleep and don’t ask “are we there yet” every 5 minutes. My brother did his family vacations this way when his kids were small.
Maybe no A/C in car? “Beat traffic”?
No, it's not obvious. Pamela Ray doesn't deserve to be judged b/c she was driving at night and didn't have reservations. That smells like the beginning of a 'what were you wearing' argument. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time due to circumstances beyond her control. Travel wasn't as regimented in The Land Before Cell Phones. Your one-size-fits-all declaration is not the nugget of common sense you think it is. Now, I'm not saying Pamela's life and mine were alike in any way, but this is a pile of examples as to why generalizations are non-applicable in 'obvious' situations.
In the 80s, my mom drove a 1966 Buick as her primary vehicle. It didn't have AC and during the summer, with two little kids, she drove long distances between our hometown and my grandparents' home at night, when it was cooler and there were fewer logging trucks slowing traffic on winding two-lane roads through the mountains. . .
There are some of us who were born and raised in places like rural Montana ranching towns where getting information like phone numbers could be difficult. Our library was two tiny rooms in the old train depot and it was only open three afternoons a week. They didn't have a huge selection of yellow pages and that was the time when not everyone had long distance on their landlines b/c it cost a small fortune. Our phone company charged for calls to Information. A lot of travel in a huge empty state like that was left up to chance. Once you got on the road and made it to a stopping point, even if you had a reservation, they might not take out of town checks, or your specific credit card. A lot of places only took Visa or MasterCard (not both) and if you had something else, you were SOL.
So, good on you for having a cozy SoCal vacation-filled childhood that offered access to simple things you took for granted that those in rural poverty didn't have a consistent chance at securing. Dirt streets, no sidewalks, no storm sewers, no stoplights, no 911, no doctor, no pharmacist, no groceries after 6pm, and going into "town" to fill a script or buy a pair of pants was a 60 mile round trip that wasn't always possible in the winter. Some of my friends were delivered by the local vetrinarian.
Sure, in these modern times, cell phones have leveled the playing field somewhat, but the US has not reached DEFCON-Obvious. That's going to take a while yet.
A child of the 80s and 90s and my parents always drove to Florida at night

Missing since 1993

My sister
Another sad case
Did they check out the husband? Or maybe she planned on leaving her family for another life! 🤔just guessing!
Can you please not use a first name then a last name in the same sentence when referring to the same person it is so confusing and weird
So Pamela was possibly targeted due to her father’s deception with the bank, or she was taken by a SA offender or a serial killer. I’m truly sorry for Pamela’s children and her family. As slim as it could be, I hope she is found alive.
Just a thought: a medium or a psychic medium could assist with Pamela’s whereabouts. Never tell the medium who you are looking for, not even the gender or the relationship with Pamela. A true medium wants no detail, unless (perhaps) an item Pamela wore often - clothing, shoes, jewelry. I heard she was wearing her wedding ring, a diamond ring and diamond earrings but surely Pamela had other jewelry the family kept. Thank you DC for showing the lost.
✔️
Always yell "fire!" not "help".
She should stay in her car and locked the doors. It was no safe to leave the car in the middle of the night whatever the reason.
Reminds me of the Kitty Genovese case.
You shouldn't travel in the middle of the night
I'm for capital punishment. They can't reoffend if they're executed. The cost to house, feed , etc these monsters in prison should rule up every taxpayer and let's put an end to criminals getting away with murder, and doing it again once paroled. Enough of this injustice to the victims and their families
You know it's _more_ expensive to keep them on death row with all of the appeals process etc., right? No parole, no second chances. Let them suffer in prison.
I just want everyone to know that if you scream, and I’m in the vicinity, I will look for you and report it. I can’t believe the amount of cases I hear about whereby people scream and get ignored.
Rile up (was supposed to say)
Accidentally putting money into someone's account shouldn't lead to their conviction. You're the one who messed up. If I accidentally transfer money to someone, I'm just assed out, so why do banks have recourse?
It wasn't the deposit itself that he was convicted for. It was that he kept it and spent the money.
Nor do special rules apply to banks: it's just as illegal to keep erroneous transfers from individuals.
It's called stealing since he didn't report it. An unexpected windfall doesn't just show up in one's account. He knew it was wrong. Banks always find out sooner or later, so he was a dumb a$$ and luckily wasn't charged and convicted.
@@eadweard. Except a bank is just fined, a person will get jail time
@@balanceofjudgement6136 What makes you say that?
So if a bank deposited half a million dollars to your account mistakenly, you will consider it your money?
Don’t be an idiot.
Once again people heard screams did nothing. 🤔.
I would never leave my kids alone In The car and walk off with some strange man!! Why did she do that??🤔
Once again, people are blaming the victim. Why do you assume that she went willingly?
One thing that sickens me to the core and ruin any of these cases is women's constant lies. majority of women dont care if their "lover" is a rapist or a killer, women in their delusional mind think "they can fix him" lol. but even worse is, the same women calling the police or detectives and claiming to be vigilantes and would put blame on their ex. but it always turns out that these are petty, jealous and vindictive women who've got no character, just want to ruin their ex's life. Women are already known for making up lies and playing with their "victims for life" card, but going so low only to destroy men's lives only cz men wanted to move on. No wonder the world has started to ignore women and their sickening attention seeking behavior completely. and i absolutely love it.
You sound like an incel
You better print this up (in size 24 font) so your mom can post it to her fridge to show off to all the other old wet hens in her book group. Next Wednesday, they're going fawn all over you. . . If they're feeling really frisky, they might even put one of those ancient lick-n-stick gold stars on it. Then, maybe, for Xmas, the biddies will pool their resources and send you a Swiss Colony fruitcake as they just can't stop being dazzled by all of the wins you write on the Yootoobz. Stay awesome, bruh.
If you're not an incel I don't know what is..
I hope you aren’t in a relationship with a woman and don’t have any children. No child should be exposed to your toxic, misogynistic and hateful thoughts about women. Crawl back in the basement and stay there. You sound deranged and dangerous to all women.
Since there was no sign of foul play at the point of her disappearance, this Can NOT even be classified as a Crime. My money says that she just dumped her family to start a new life elsewhere while the Police squander tax dollars on what has always been a non-Crime.
