Stephanie, PLEASE check your Instagram messages. There is a case going on here when I live that really need s a fresh set of eyes to help get some answers and closure and for the victims heartbroken and reeling family. Please help!!!!
Stephanie! I love your podcasts and think you are the GOAT! Will you please do one on Haleigh Cummings from Florida? Friday was 14 years still missing. She’s the one who’s 25 year old dad’s 17 year old girlfriend was babysitting and claims she just woke up and she was gone. I believe her dad recently got out of prison. They both got long prison sentences for drug charges I think in hopes of them maybe saying something. The girlfriend is still in. Nancy Grace got excited about this one for a little while. I don’t live near Florida or know her or her family but this case has just really stuck with me all these years and I feel like people have forgotten her. She looked so precious. She was only 5. It was overnight February 9-10, 2009.
It's literally unbelievable how much visible blood was on that bed, not to mention all over the house found afterwards, and they're just like "she fell."
Any five year old would have been like "There appears to have been a struggle." vs police "slipped and fell, checkmark paperwork, done". If anything was more obvious it would have had to slap them in the face.
This is eerily close to my sister's death in North Carolina. My sister was bruised head to toe, brain bleed, jaw broke in two places. My mom called a welfare check and she was found laying unable to move in her own urine, feces, and blood. Her known abusive boyfriend who has a history of domestic violence against two ex wives said she "fell' due to being drunk and the police went with that narrative and closed the case. They never treated the home as a possible crime scene either. I remember the police chief said if my sister died he'd be all over the home with luminol, but he never did. I never understood why he would dare say that, like why aren't you testing things now. With the help of getting her story out there, I was able to hire a private investigator and my sister's death certificate was changed from cause of death undetermined to homicide due to assault. The case was reopened by police and they referred to the DA for possible charges. Unfortunately, this is all too common in North Carolina. I've seen too many cases where a partner gets off completely free and never charged with anything just like the scum of the earth "man" that killed my sister. I hope LeeAnn's family can get justice for her. It breaks my heart because I know all too well how this goes in that state. 😞
Yes, I was absolutely thinking of your sister… her case haunts me and like this case, it’s painfully obvious who is responsible. I’m so sorry I can’t recall her name but I remember Kendall Rae and Josh truly advocating for her and calling out the horrible injustice done to her and your family! I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope he suffers for the rest of his miserable life.
@leximari Thanks so much for your support. Her name is Melissa Platt. Kendall and Josh were insurmountable to getting her story out there and to the others that did videos, her case would never be where it's at today. I hope the private investigator LeeAnn's family hired can get to the bottom of this. The one I hired did such an amazing job, I'm still blown away by how passionate he was about uncovering the truth.
@StephanieHarlowe HI Stephanie. The police reopened the case under a new police chief, thank goodness, who has been very good at communicating with us. When they finished their part, they turned over to the DA who gave it to their cold case unit. There's something else I just found out about the status that stunned me that I can't share publicly yet, but I'd be happy to share with you privately.
YES! I knew this sounded familiar! I watched both episodes (Mile Higher and Kendall Rae). I hope they get his ass and the same thing he did to her gets done to him in prison. I hope we get an update soon! ❤
LeeAnn was my friend. Jay is going to trial 8/28. Please pray for a swift conviction. My heart still breaks for her and her family. 💔 She was a beautiful soul.
I can’t believe he only got 4-6 years and that he could be free is as early as NEXT YEAR? I also can’t believe that they allowed the time he had spent in jail, not prison, to count towards his “time served”. Even in a world where ALL he had done was put off contacting an ambulance for 4 hours, he should get more time than that! Yet it’s clear that he was also the direct cause of her need for medical attention, and eventually her death, yet all he gets is two year (maybe up to 4) in prison?! I’m SO SO SORRY. Justice clearly wasn’t served in this case. You must feel so angry and let down. 💔
22:09 Hi Stephanie, medical doctor here (and big fans of yours!). I wanted to chip in and provide some clarity. Cirrhosis is a chronic degenerative process which takes years to develop, it can be due to heavy drinking but also other causes such as viral infections. A sudden lack of oxygen can cause acute liver failure, but not cirrhosis. One of the features of cirrhosis is that people get bruises and bleed more often than normal because the liver isn’t producing enough coagulation factors. In other words, if she had liver cirrhosis she would have been more prone to bleeding and she would likely have had bruises all over her body. This doesn’t obviously exclude that she could have been killed, by looking at the evidence this actually seems the more likely explanation. Keep up the good work! ❤
I was already suspicious of Jay when he said to the 911 operator that “she fell in the kitchen” but was “bleeding in the bathtub”. How did he tie those 2 things together if he just “found” her?! Looking forward to the trial!
He was suspicious from the moment he said “ my FRIEND fell “ he kept calling her his friend instead of girlfriend like he was trying to distance himself from her.
@@houseofsolomon2440 she’s already dead, you don’t have to shame her. people rent out rooms in their houses all the time and don’t get murdered. she couldn’t see the future it’s not her fault.
@juno They do if they take in unstable homeless folks they dont know. Just exploring possible contributing factors and wondering aloud. Will delete & thanks for your feedback.
@@houseofsolomon2440 her family could be reading these comments. there’s a lot more to focus on in this case, debating her decision to let a dude stay at her house is irrelevant.
Wow! That blood all over the house was horrifying! I can’t imagine the shock and distress when her family saw that, my heart would have broken right then. Brilliant delivery once again, thank you for telling her story so beautifully. 💜 Her ex definitely brutalised her over hours more than likely. I hope she’s happy and surrounded by love wherever she may now be. RIP lovely lady.
They don't want to investigate them. We know what happened, they know what happened and they have 0 interest in bringing light to it because in my opinion they are all capable of doing the exact same things as the criminals they should be catching
@@melodi996 I think it's less laziness and more personal agenda. The police are still a very male-dominated field and the unfortunate reality is most of them don't take domestic violence seriously.
@@CS-zb7hx Yea, the police tend to be notorious for being spouse beaters so when they see a case like this they don't want to face it because they have to come to terms with the fact that THIS is the "worse case scenario" that could happen it THEIR home and they don't have that self reflection...
seeing the luminol test photos made me physically sick. you could literally see the story of what happened play out right before your eyes. absolutely sickening and heartbreaking. i cannot imagine a more insane situation than what's occuring here. thank you for sharing! i will definitely be covering this in an article because it needs so much more attention
This case is news to me, I'm glad to see coverage of a lesser known case on your channel. I started following you because you were the only channel covering the disappearance of my friend, Holly Clarke. Her case never took off, and she was found deceased in suspicious circumstances. Her killers/abductors were never caught. Still, I was happy to see the word getting out. Just like this case... there need to be something done and just speaking about it on your channel is an incredible contribution.
It’s just so bad these cops don’t take every suspicious death as a homicide… wich A good cop will always walk into a scene an work it like it is until they can prove it isn’t
@@jamesfracasse8178 yes, she was on CCTV in a "known human trafficking motel" where police didn't break down every door to find her. How can it be "known" and still operational. It's just stomach turning. We all miss Holly so much.
Every time my husband hears “She’s like a sickness in my brain…” he knows I’m about to get INTO it for the rest of the night 😭 he always sighs like here we go again 🤣
Just like the Greenberg case this is a total miscarriage of Justice. They both piss me off SO much 🤬 thank you for covering this case and giving a voice to victims - again.
he doesnt need to have relatives there for them to protect them. him being a man is enough. these cops walk into a crime scene where a man clearly beat and murdered his girlfriend or wife and they just do not care.
This case is so sad. Like if there was people who knew how angry and hostile he was and that he was threatening her- why wasn’t it automatically looked at like a homicide??
@@1000wastedwords how exactly? no one can force a grown woman to leave a relationship. trust me there is not a simple solution when you have a loved one whos in an abusive relationship.
Another North Carolina case that desperately needs attention- Brandon Embry. He was poisoned unsuspectinglly several times before he was found unconscious in his apartment, completely naked, beaten to a pulp, laying in a pool of water, hypothermic. Police labeled it a suicide, his family believes his mysterious girlfriend had something to do with it. This case is such a rabbit hole, and I believe you would do an amazing job Stephanie. Please please please reach out this his mother, she has several social media accounts she is always posting to to raise awareness of her baby’s death. Love your content. Keep up the amazing work.
Oh my gosh Steph, the other day I had my AirPods in and was walking downstairs to make my coffee. Shuffle was on, and as soon as I stepped into the kitchen the next song “she’s like a sickness in my brain a vision standing by the windowpane” pfff I was like stop that didn’t just happen!
Stephanie: "This may or may not surprise you, but I love wine." Me, a loyal viewer since 2018, who knows what types of wine Steph likes: "Oh my God, no way 😅"
Jay is not quite playing with a fulls decks as Leann had hit her head in the kitchen s !! How's she Leann is in bathtubs !! Police department s are fulls dirlict s police department in most communities these days ! What happened too s protect as serve the publicks ,!!! Disfuctional police department.ect. wake up s police department s guit sleepings ons your duty ECT. We need accountability justice for Leann folks get Afters police department folks as states attorney Now's !!!
It's so true! If you don't have someone who loves you, you're screwed. Same with hospitals, if you don't have an advocate you could die waiting for care. It's so discouraging 😞 knowing that there are people who just don't have the support of caring people in their lives. I glad that this family had the fortitude to persist!
This case reminds me so much of Melissa Platt! I believe in that case, her boyfriend was finally charged for her murder and quite recently because of her sister taking to social media to get the police to do their job. I wish the same for LeeAnn. This is just too sad and happening too often!
Is she the one who was an alcoholic and her boyfriend claimed she fell in the drive way and basically he beat her and left her in bed to die? Is that the right case?
It looks to me like LeeAnn was fighting and running for her life. 💔 There's blood on the walls and floors and fixtures.... Like she was moving around. And when she finally collapsed, he put her in that tub, cleaned, and made up some BS story. 🤬
When I saw the blood scenes it looked to me like it was an all night event. They may have been drinking and arguing, in the kitchen the attack happened, arguing continued throughout the house, she sat on the couch and probably threatened to call the cops, he maybe took her phone, some cleaning up was done, she moved to the bed and laid down, maybe she even put the shirt under the bed to leave evidence behind in fear, he came back after some cleaning to find her unresponsive and put her in the tub and kept cleaning. Abusive and explosive arguments (and by arguments I’m meaning yelling at the victim from the abuser) are often all over the place, ongoing, and chaotic. I just imagine (sadly) a huge spat. I think during the initial cleaning, before he checked on her in the room he called his friend, and then cooled off for a few hours while he cleaned, and then called the friend again and then the cops when he found her in the tub.
I totally agree, I believe she was trying to the away from him as he continued to assault her. How rich do you have to be? How well connected do you have to be to get justice?
@missis5719 there were no external[bleeding] injuries just alot of bruising there is a possibility skin split and healed shut under the bruises but none visable... Edit: (excluding the head trauma but that was mentioned)
Stephanie I'd love to hear your theories on Andrew Gosden. His family are so strong and always looking for him. Please remind people he is still loved and being looked for!
I wonder if any research was done on the boyfriend's relationship with anyone in the police department - either related or family friends that go back generations. This totally sounds like the "good ol' boy" system I've seen in a couple southern towns my family and I have lived in.
@@hattarapilvi I don’t get it. There are a ton of men in prison. Being a man doesn’t protect you from prison. Probably, statistically being a woman protects you more from prison. In reality, taking garbage like how this case was handled and blaming the problem on men and their “privilege” is highly ineffective. It may be (& definitely sounds like) corruption in the police department, but unless the men’s sections in the jails and prisons over there are empty, blaming this on male privilege is kinda ridiculous.
Hi Stephanie, this is such a a horrific case, I hope there’s justice for her and her family. Thank you for covering these unsolved (ish in this case) cases! From one of your many UK fans could you please look into a a live case in the UK….A missing mum of two Nicola Bulley, its such a mystery and I would love your instinctive input…she dropped her kids at school, parked up and took her dog on a walk, sent a text to meet up later in the week with a friend, she also sent a work email and then connected to a zoom work call which was left on mute, within 20 mins or so she had vanished into thin air, her dog was found running around frantically, and the dogs harness and her mobile phone (still connected to her zoom call) were found on a bench, police immediately announced that they were not looking for a third party in her disappearance and that they thought she had fallen in the water, but the dog was dry and he liked to swim, so many have suggested that if she had fallen in the dog would have gone in after her and if she had gone in after the dog, either way the dog would have been wet and he wasn’t. There’s CCTV cameras in various places and she was seen and spoken to by other dog walkers in various places on this popular dog walk. Her husband has been ruled out as he works from home and there is CCTV/camera footage of him at home during this time. Police divers have been searching the water for two weeks and have found nothing…its a real mystery and really feeling for her husband and children. Her husband has now come out and said that he doesn’t believe she is in the water and that she was a very strong swimmer too…. It’s so bizarre, please take a quick look if you have the time. Thank you :) xxx
that case already gets lots of attention. I saw a 13 year old girl Mariama has been missing since 9 February in Southwark in Britain and nobody cares. I just saw it on twitter. Some cases get all the attention other get ignored.
@C Skelton That's bizarre! Especially in the UK where you guys are the 3rd most surveilled country in the world behind China and the US with 6.18 million CCTV/security cameras which is 1 security camera for every 10.9 people. You'd think with a country so surveilled that a person in a public place and in broad daylight no less, couldn't just disappear into thin air like that. She's definitely not in the water because that dog would've tried to save her 100% cause that's how dogs are even if they're too small to really help. If she had been drowning, at minimum, the dog would be wet from trying to help her. If she was incapacitated and taken by someone who carried her to a nearby car, then the dog would absolutely be panicked and running around trying to get help just like the dog was doing. If she'd drowned, the dog would've stayed close by the water and only tried to get help by running up to passerbys, and then trying to get the person to follow them back to the water. I hope that police look through the CCTV of all nearby parking lots and areas where a car could park nearby because they'll probably find video of her abductor and her being carried unconscious or being walked under threat of a weapon. This is absolutely puzzling and right up Stephanie's alley. 🤔
He can think that is luck here and now.. but when he meets his maker and is banished to Hell for all eternity. I don't know how lucky he will feel at that point.
Me and my family had a very busy weekend! I had no time for any true crime cases. So you know how excited I was to get notified for a new Harlowe video 🙌🏾
Thank you so much for sharing this! I remember when this happened. She was a good friend of my moms. A wonderful person. I hope this video helps her and her family. It is an aweful and horrible situation.
15 minutes into the story and right away you hear of police work that is terrible. They did nothing to get answers. Thank goodness the family was persistent. Tanks Stephanie for the story. Be safe.
My husband is constantly reminding me not to trust people and it hurts my heart that we live in a world like this. I’m the kind of person that will give/ do anything for someone and my husband knows that. Every-time I leave he reminds me to lock my car doors and not talk to anyone I don’t know. Such a sad world we live in 😢
You are such a badass Steph for calling the police department! Also, I’d love to hear what Derek thinks about this too! I’m sure he would agree that this is insane!
Mondays are the best days. Day off and I get to spend my morning having coffee and watching! Thanks for all your hard work Stephanie! Your story telling is incredible! I also love your sensitivity, and your no nonsense attitude! Keep being a bad ass!
A great way to start my morning by watching Stephanie new true crime video! I'm very happy to see Stephanie notifications came up, so I can watch this case with my brother!
This is a perfect example of why social media is vital to solving crime! There are many many many people who are just ignored when they are victim of crime. Even just burglary or car jacking can happen with local police going “well they are always having drama” and put little to no effort into helping the person. The lack of police protection can be EXACTLY what makes the person the perfect victim for every criminal. So the idea of failing to investigate a murder is clearly going to happen when this is happening in a community. So social media is the BEST thing that’s ever happened to solving crimes!!!
Hey Stephanie, love the vid, I hadn't heard of this case, but when you were talking about the autopsy report I paid close attention because I'd just been studying hepatic function for school. I have a couple comments that I hope can clarify something. Regarding the hepatic "cirrhosis" stage, that couldn't have happened due to oxygen deprivation, cirrhosis is an exclusively long term, chronic condition, most likely attributed to chronic drinking but it could also come from an undiagnosed hepatitis B or C, sometimes those hepatitis present themselves with mild to non existent symptoms and the patient don't even know they had hep B or C, but the liver damage keeps building over time; some cirrhosis patients never had a drink in their lives, but statistically it's overwhelmingly caused by chronic drinking. The other thing, about the bruises, most coagulation factors are produced in the liver, in a patient with cirrhosis that production is severely damaged, so it's actually pretty common to start having unexplained bruises from the mildest contacts. At this stage they can bruise like a hemophiliac patient, so the presence of bruising doesn't indicate what we'd all assume if she wasn't suffering from cirrhosis. I'm sorry about the lengthy comment but I wanted to say this while it's still fresh in my head LOL. Love you girl._
Thank you. Glad someone posted this. Acute liver failure could be caused from lack of oxygen and/or the meds she was given in hospital. Or what we sometimes call “shock liver.” Cirrhosis is chronic scarring. I’ve actually had a patient with nonalcoholic fatty liver that led to cirrhosis and she required a liver transplant, no history of hepatitis and poor lady never drank alcohol either.
i am glad someone brought this aspect of leeann’s case up. i was diagnosed with cirrhosis & esld five years ago. as was stated by the previous commenter, cirrhosis patients lack normal coagulation and will bleed profusely from the smallest injury. i can also attest to the bruising! another factor is the possible varices, the bleeding that would occur due to a rupture would be severe & commonly fatal.
@L Nash You just explained my father's situation to a T. He has fatty liver disease and has never been a drinker and doesn't have Hepatitis or anything. He's on the transplant list as we speak.
@weedy wendy My father has Fatty Liver Disease and gets varices and had one in his throat that almost killed him because he didn't know it was ruptured and bleeding.
Thank you so much for following this. I grew up with her parents and there is no words that can describe just how messy the police department handled this. The family deserves justice be done.
Something to consider - patients in liver failure can have excessive bruising because the liver is responsible for creating clotting factors. If her liver was already shutting down by the time she went to the hospital, she could have developed bruises from “injuries” that wouldn’t normally cause bruising (like someone moving her into the bath tub).
Excellent presentation, as always. Thank you for all your hard work researching and presenting these cases. I know how emotionally draining your chosen profession is and I pray you are taking care of yourself and your family. Thank you once again!
You are so right about being too nice which I have been all my life. I've been taken advantage of more times than I care to think about. I remind myself by saying that "nice" is a four letter word too.
Hi Stephanie. Absolutely love following both your own TH-cam channel and Crime Weekly with Derrick. I’m from the UK and we have a massive case in the news right now which as a nation, I think we are all following. It’s the Nicole Bulley case. She disappeared while out taking her dog for a walk along the rive Wyer, the police seemed to focus their efforts on the water for a long time.. with no luck. There’s loads of weird things that don’t add up.. The husband gives me Chris Watt vibes Her husband owns the company that supplies the cctv by the caravan park and was THE ONLY camera that wasn’t working the morning of her disappearance. I’d love for you to have a look at it and maybe touch upon it in your crime weekly news or maybe do a longer show in it! I think you would get your teeth sunk right into this one!! Absolutely bizarre Thanks for continuing to bring us exceptional content Best wishes Lisa Beecham Oxford, UK
The case if very interesting. Where did you find the information that her partner (they aren’t married) owns a company that supplies the cctv though? I cannot find anything on that. Also her partner seems to be the one constantly pressing the police to investigate more thoroughly 🤔
Thanks for another great presentation, Stephanie! Agreed, these corrupt, lazy-seeming police departments should be ashamed of themselves! I don’t think the police in general have a whole lot of wiggle room insofar as public opinion? Crazy so many of them seem to think they can get away with stuff like that! Love your thorough, compelling episodes! I’m sure victims’ families are appreciative. Also thanks for calling out animal abuse - inexcusable!
This is crazy to me. I live in Virginia but have spent a lot of time in the outer banks. I have my own personal stories of the negligence of kitty Hawk police department, the outer banks police department as a whole… two specific stories of negligence from their first responders once in kitty hawk and once in duck/Corolla. It’s a beautiful place geographically but it’s hard to feel safe there. Thank you Stephanie for covering this.
Love your channel, Stephanie ❤️ . You are a master at story telling with your true crime. 👍 Thank you for all your hard work, which you put into your videos!🥰🤗
Fan girl here!!! You’re the best!! Also love your instagram Twitter and of course CRIME WEEKLY! When do you sleep Momma?? Wife, daughter, friend, and impeccable deep diver!!
From all the recent stories out of NC and all the law blunders by LEOs and the justice system there, I’ve determined that I would never move to North Carolina. This case is just maddening! How is the state bureau of investigation NOT involved in this by now????
I cant explain how relaxing your videos are ! Today i had my first smear test and went through a panic attack so had to call in sick at work. Thank you for this video, very nice to have this to listen to.
I'm sorry for not remembering the exact day....but Happy Birthday this month, fellow Aquarian !!! You're the best, your work is absolutely unparalleled....please just keep being you !💜💜💜
I can only speak from experience in the federal system. We had grand juries once a month and the docket filled quickly. Often a case could be pushed to the next month because of a paperwork issue. The last thing you want to do is go forward and show your cards too soon. From my experience 3 months isn’t bad for a grand jury indictment
How on earth could all that visible blood on the mattress just be ignored by the authorities?! It is terrifying that some police turn such a blind eye. And I can't imagine the distrust in police that this has instilled in her children. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones and I hope this finally goes to trial soon so they can have a semblance of closure. 💔 On a different note, have you seen the story in Germany about the doppelganger murder? I would love to hear your take on that one. It sounds like a movie plot. So scary!
Hope you enjoyed your mini vaca 💜 you deserve it! Thank you for all your awesome content. Definitely one of my favorite true crime TH-camrs. Your dedication, intelligence, compassion, and how deep you go into these cases is much appreciated not only by me but I'm sure the family and friends of the victims for bringing attention to their cases 💜
Im from a tiny town in ohio an everyone had a saying when a new person moved to town. "Let them in ur yard, never ur home" an they ment invite to a bbq, have a picnic w them, get to no ur neighbors but never let them in ur home bc of course u dont really no these ppl
As I watched the video of the cottage, I thought, "Wow... It's like he didn't even try to cover up what he did! Did he really think cops couldn't figure it out? ... ...Oh wait." And that's very sad.
I live on the outer banks and have followed this devastating story ever since it happened 😔🙏 I sent this to Trisha cahoon, in hopes she messages you back because a lot is missing from this video, alot of critical details, saddening and major details. 🙏😔💜. Dare county sheriff's department completely neglected this case A LOT👏 LEEANN DESERVES JUSTICE 🙏💜🙌🤟
Could you do a video on the boy Lorenzo from Puerto Rico? His mom is like Casey Anthony, she had part in his death and she is still walking free. Since you always do thorough research, will help me giving me more clarity and hopefully more attention to his case so justice can be done
Just looked up his Wikipedia page. His Mom said he'd fallen out of bed, but he'd literally had stabs on his little face. His sisters removed from home.
Desperately sad case and I'm glad you are raising awareness. It's so incredibly frustrating that the police do not follow their own basic standards. We all know " in the event of an unexpected death you treat it as suspicious and as a crime scene until you can be sure it's not." The very fact he distanced her to friend and said he "thought" she fell..on the 911 call... as if he wasn't living with her..is suspicious. Even if she just fell then went to bed he's at least negligent that he didn't get her help. Given the blood just everywhere there's no way he was unaware this was a bad injury.
This is insanity, the amount of blood ALL OVER that house is not physically possible to be from a fall. Clearly the clothing/towels SOAKED in blood, the blood trail literally leading to the cleaning supplies, washing machine and shower alone is enough for an investigation to be opened. I’m from a small town myself & I definitely don’t think the police department would’ve done anything if the family didn’t fight for it. So glad they did.
Sending you hugs! ❤️ I just spent the morning having platelets transfusion (I have Chronic ITP) I spend a lot of time with blood cancer patients having transfusions ....Breaks my heart xxx
I live in Australia (Perth), and these videos pop up when I’m going to bed 😅 EDIT: I’m very sorry if my previous comment came across insensitive, that was not my intention. 💜
Steph that was so true what you were saying at the end, watch out who you open your home and your heart too, i have done this many times and got burned, last time i got my heart broken and that was a year ago, starting too move on now but the hurt is always there. Condolences to Leannes family 🙏
I feel the need to state Orville and Wilbur Wright only needed N. Carolina for flight. Being a Daytonian, from Dayton Ohio, we know the Wright brothers developed and engineered everything here in downtown Dayton but Ohio is flat so they were forced to travel for flight. Lol.
I hate how in these situations, law enforcement acts like we want to know all the evidence they've found, when all we want is to know that they _looked_ for evidence
Great job as usual Stephanie!! I love listening & watching your videos as well as True Crime Weekly Your presentation & sassy style has me even rewatching one I have already seen before !!
Coffee and crime time suggestion: near my home town in lancashire, England, theirs an on going investigation in to the very mysterious disappearance of mother of 2 Nicola Bulley whilst she was walking her dog, it is very strange circumstances that she has gone missing with absolutely no leads to go off as far as we the public know, the police seem convinced she has fallen in the water, but her family, everyone she knows and really most people looking at the case so far doesn't believe that, sonar searches have come up with nothing at all, the diving/sonar expert himself has come out to say he doesn't think she's in the water, honestly everyone is just baffled by it, would love to see your take as you're so good at compiling all the information and making some sense of it/ coming up with possible theories X
Stephanie, I love the way you tell it like it is! Much respect to you! This is very concerning because this case isn’t the only one where justice hasn’t been properly served. I couldn’t imagine having to fight for the police to do their jobs while mourning a loved one. Sad, really sad!
Ok, I heard about this story before. It took me a minute to realize it. I didn't hear much about it but some of it. Thank you for doing a video about it!
Thank you for the attention you bring to cases that don't get the mainstream coverage. Please have a look at Irene Gakwa's case, a Kenyan nurse who has been missing since February 2022. Thank you.
Such a big fan Stephanie ! Your compassion and caring comes through in every video you do! I have watched many different people doing true crime videos and your skill of story telling really helps understand all the events that led up to the loss of these poor people, that deserve to be here with us! Looking forward to your next video as usual!
Hey Glad you covered this case, Just wanted to let you know I knew some mutual people that were friends with her cousin. I used to live out there. I contacted her and told her you had tried to get up with her and sent her a link to this video. She very much appreciated it and I hope she will contact you soon!
You’re bit at the end of the video was so well spoken. I agree 100%. Too many lessons have been learned the hard way, and in sad cases like this, lives have been lost. Please all take care of yourselves. Protect the ones you love and be wary of the ones you let in
I live by the motto "don't help someone who won't help themselves" and the word "help" is interchangeable with "care" as well. It's been hard but it's more important for my safety and well being to set boundaries!! 💯🌟🥰
I can’t believe the lack of integrity and quality police work in either this case or Ellen Greenberg’s case !!! Not are so obviously foul play that anyone can see an investigation is warranted . Praying for justice !!! Thank you for bringing these miscarriages of justice to light

Stephanie! I love your podcasts and think you are the GOAT!
Will you please do one on Haleigh Cummings from Florida? Friday was 14 years still missing. She’s the one who’s 25 year old dad’s 17 year old girlfriend was babysitting and claims she just woke up and she was gone. I believe her dad recently got out of prison. They both got long prison sentences for drug charges I think in hopes of them maybe saying something. The girlfriend is still in. Nancy Grace got excited about this one for a little while. I don’t live near Florida or know her or her family but this case has just really stuck with me all these years and I feel like people have forgotten her. She looked so precious. She was only 5. It was overnight February 9-10, 2009.
Adult Pokémon cards comment had me sold 😅
One thing about Stephanie is that she’ll always take a jab at Casey Anthony when she gets the chance😂 I just love it
Me too realest TH-camr Ik been watching her for years ❤️🥲
as she should 😌
I mean… Casey Anthony has it coming 😂
Fully support the jabs at Casey Anthony!
Amen! 👏👏👏
It's literally unbelievable how much visible blood was on that bed, not to mention all over the house found afterwards, and they're just like "she fell."
Like people shouldn’t be bleeding all the time or “falling” the way they do in true crime
Keystone cops!!! lazy n dumb as damn door nails. Jesus!!
Ikr, so freaking clumsy!

Any five year old would have been like "There appears to have been a struggle." vs police "slipped and fell, checkmark paperwork, done". If anything was more obvious it would have had to slap them in the face.
This is eerily close to my sister's death in North Carolina. My sister was bruised head to toe, brain bleed, jaw broke in two places. My mom called a welfare check and she was found laying unable to move in her own urine, feces, and blood. Her known abusive boyfriend who has a history of domestic violence against two ex wives said she "fell' due to being drunk and the police went with that narrative and closed the case. They never treated the home as a possible crime scene either. I remember the police chief said if my sister died he'd be all over the home with luminol, but he never did. I never understood why he would dare say that, like why aren't you testing things now. With the help of getting her story out there, I was able to hire a private investigator and my sister's death certificate was changed from cause of death undetermined to homicide due to assault. The case was reopened by police and they referred to the DA for possible charges. Unfortunately, this is all too common in North Carolina. I've seen too many cases where a partner gets off completely free and never charged with anything just like the scum of the earth "man" that killed my sister. I hope LeeAnn's family can get justice for her. It breaks my heart because I know all too well how this goes in that state. 😞
Yes, I was absolutely thinking of your sister… her case haunts me and like this case, it’s painfully obvious who is responsible. I’m so sorry I can’t recall her name but I remember Kendall Rae and Josh truly advocating for her and calling out the horrible injustice done to her and your family! I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope he suffers for the rest of his miserable life.
@leximari Thanks so much for your support. Her name is Melissa Platt. Kendall and Josh were insurmountable to getting her story out there and to the others that did videos, her case would never be where it's at today. I hope the private investigator LeeAnn's family hired can get to the bottom of this. The one I hired did such an amazing job, I'm still blown away by how passionate he was about uncovering the truth.
what is the status of your sisters case?
@StephanieHarlowe HI Stephanie. The police reopened the case under a new police chief, thank goodness, who has been very good at communicating with us. When they finished their part, they turned over to the DA who gave it to their cold case unit. There's something else I just found out about the status that stunned me that I can't share publicly yet, but I'd be happy to share with you privately.
YES! I knew this sounded familiar! I watched both episodes (Mile Higher and Kendall Rae). I hope they get his ass and the same thing he did to her gets done to him in prison. I hope we get an update soon! ❤
LeeAnn was my friend. Jay is going to trial 8/28. Please pray for a swift conviction. My heart still breaks for her and her family. 💔 She was a beautiful soul.
🙏💝
I can’t believe he only got 4-6 years and that he could be free is as early as NEXT YEAR? I also can’t believe that they allowed the time he had spent in jail, not prison, to count towards his “time served”.
Even in a world where ALL he had done was put off contacting an ambulance for 4 hours, he should get more time than that! Yet it’s clear that he was also the direct cause of her need for medical attention, and eventually her death, yet all he gets is two year (maybe up to 4) in prison?!
I’m SO SO SORRY. Justice clearly wasn’t served in this case. You must feel so angry and let down. 💔
I heard about this case here in the UK and was praying this would eventually happen. Good. Praying 🙏
This is such a sad case! I hope he rots in prison!!
22:09 Hi Stephanie, medical doctor here (and big fans of yours!). I wanted to chip in and provide some clarity. Cirrhosis is a chronic degenerative process which takes years to develop, it can be due to heavy drinking but also other causes such as viral infections. A sudden lack of oxygen can cause acute liver failure, but not cirrhosis. One of the features of cirrhosis is that people get bruises and bleed more often than normal because the liver isn’t producing enough coagulation factors. In other words, if she had liver cirrhosis she would have been more prone to bleeding and she would likely have had bruises all over her body. This doesn’t obviously exclude that she could have been killed, by looking at the evidence this actually seems the more likely explanation. Keep up the good work! ❤
I was already suspicious of Jay when he said to the 911 operator that “she fell in the kitchen” but was “bleeding in the bathtub”. How did he tie those 2 things together if he just “found” her?! Looking forward to the trial!
Same!🤔
He was suspicious from the moment he said “ my FRIEND fell “ he kept calling her his friend instead of girlfriend like he was trying to distance himself from her.
@@houseofsolomon2440 she’s already dead, you don’t have to shame her. people rent out rooms in their houses all the time and don’t get murdered. she couldn’t see the future it’s not her fault.
@juno They do if they take in unstable homeless folks they dont know. Just exploring possible contributing factors and wondering aloud. Will delete & thanks for your feedback.
@@houseofsolomon2440 her family could be reading these comments. there’s a lot more to focus on in this case, debating her decision to let a dude stay at her house is irrelevant.
I agree! Something so wrong about that call 😢
When you said the house lit up like a Christmas tree I was not expecting that extent. Absolutely horrifying what she must have went through.
Wow! That blood all over the house was horrifying! I can’t imagine the shock and distress when her family saw that, my heart would have broken right then. Brilliant delivery once again, thank you for telling her story so beautifully. 💜 Her ex definitely brutalised her over hours more than likely. I hope she’s happy and surrounded by love wherever she may now be. RIP lovely lady.
I will never be not surprised on how such clear cut cases don't get investigated.
They don't want to investigate them. We know what happened, they know what happened and they have 0 interest in bringing light to it because in my opinion they are all capable of doing the exact same things as the criminals they should be catching
@@iridizousa8578 I know police is really into sttistics of solved crime, they must be really lazy to ignore cases that would add points for them.
@@melodi996 I think it's less laziness and more personal agenda. The police are still a very male-dominated field and the unfortunate reality is most of them don't take domestic violence seriously.
@C S completely agree. Especially when they don't weed out the domestic abuse thats rampant in the police force.
@@CS-zb7hx Yea, the police tend to be notorious for being spouse beaters so when they see a case like this they don't want to face it because they have to come to terms with the fact that THIS is the "worse case scenario" that could happen it THEIR home and they don't have that self reflection...
seeing the luminol test photos made me physically sick. you could literally see the story of what happened play out right before your eyes. absolutely sickening and heartbreaking. i cannot imagine a more insane situation than what's occuring here. thank you for sharing! i will definitely be covering this in an article because it needs so much more attention
Agree
This case is news to me, I'm glad to see coverage of a lesser known case on your channel. I started following you because you were the only channel covering the disappearance of my friend, Holly Clarke. Her case never took off, and she was found deceased in suspicious circumstances. Her killers/abductors were never caught. Still, I was happy to see the word getting out. Just like this case... there need to be something done and just speaking about it on your channel is an incredible contribution.
My sympathies my dear; sorry for the lost of your friend, but to find said friend dead under mystery circumstances seems to me like a cover up
It’s just so bad these cops don’t take every suspicious death as a homicide… wich
A good cop will always walk into a scene an work it like it is until they can prove it isn’t
@@jamesfracasse8178 yes, she was on CCTV in a "known human trafficking motel" where police didn't break down every door to find her. How can it be "known" and still operational. It's just stomach turning. We all miss Holly so much.
@@cN-xv7ju I will never understand why people become police if they don't care about justice. It's gross.
FAmasing🤩 👚
Every time my husband hears “She’s like a sickness in my brain…” he knows I’m about to get INTO it for the rest of the night 😭 he always sighs like here we go again 🤣
When my son 21 hears the intro song he says "turn it up" he enjoys Stephanie Harlowe too!!
That intro always puts me in the mood to hear another crime story. If something ever happens to me, Hope Stephanie is on the case…fast! 👍👍
Oh, he loves it .🎉❤.
I had to laugh- that's the scene playing out in my bedroom right now
My husband knows when he hears that song that he now has the rest of the evening to play video games 😂
Just like the Greenberg case this is a total miscarriage of Justice. They both piss me off SO much 🤬 thank you for covering this case and giving a voice to victims - again.
What kind of local culture exists among the police there?
Love you forever kiss
The corrupt DA who refuses to classify the Greenberg case as a homicide is now the governor of Pa. Absolute BS
Omg, her case broke my heart! Sam was guilty but had the right connections and got off scot-free😢
Does Jay have relatives in the police department? It's hard to believe they dropped the ball sooo hard!
Exactly. I’m thinking definite police corruption.
I hear their interest in DV involved cases is nil
I think it just seems hypocritical to them to care about DV cases when they turn blind to it in the department
Yes I believe he does. It’s hard to be a native of the Outer Banks and not be kin.
he doesnt need to have relatives there for them to protect them. him being a man is enough. these cops walk into a crime scene where a man clearly beat and murdered his girlfriend or wife and they just do not care.
This case is so sad. Like if there was people who knew how angry and hostile he was and that he was threatening her- why wasn’t it automatically looked at like a homicide??
Also, why wouldn’t they step in to protect her?
@@1000wastedwords how exactly? no one can force a grown woman to leave a relationship. trust me there is not a simple solution when you have a loved one whos in an abusive relationship.
Another North Carolina case that desperately needs attention- Brandon Embry. He was poisoned unsuspectinglly several times before he was found unconscious in his apartment, completely naked, beaten to a pulp, laying in a pool of water, hypothermic. Police labeled it a suicide, his family believes his mysterious girlfriend had something to do with it. This case is such a rabbit hole, and I believe you would do an amazing job Stephanie. Please please please reach out this his mother, she has several social media accounts she is always posting to to raise awareness of her baby’s death. Love your content. Keep up the amazing work.
Oh my gosh Steph, the other day I had my AirPods in and was walking downstairs to make my coffee. Shuffle was on, and as soon as I stepped into the kitchen the next song “she’s like a sickness in my brain a vision standing by the windowpane” pfff I was like stop that didn’t just happen!
Stephanie: "This may or may not surprise you, but I love wine."
Me, a loyal viewer since 2018, who knows what types of wine Steph likes: "Oh my God, no way 😅"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jay is not quite playing with a fulls decks as Leann had hit her head in the kitchen s !! How's she Leann is in bathtubs !! Police department s are fulls dirlict s police department in most communities these days ! What happened too s protect as serve the publicks ,!!! Disfuctional police department.ect. wake up s police department s guit sleepings ons your duty ECT. We need accountability justice for Leann folks get Afters police department folks as states attorney Now's !!!
It's so true! If you don't have someone who loves you, you're screwed. Same with hospitals, if you don't have an advocate you could die waiting for care. It's so discouraging 😞 knowing that there are people who just don't have the support of caring people in their lives. I glad that this family had the fortitude to persist!
This case reminds me so much of Melissa Platt! I believe in that case, her boyfriend was finally charged for her murder and quite recently because of her sister taking to social media to get the police to do their job.
I wish the same for LeeAnn.
This is just too sad and happening too often!
Is she the one who was an alcoholic and her boyfriend claimed she fell in the drive way and basically he beat her and left her in bed to die? Is that the right case?
@@andreawhite1496 yes.
Her sister actually commented as to the similarities in the cases. It was also in NC.
It looks to me like LeeAnn was fighting and running for her life. 💔 There's blood on the walls and floors and fixtures.... Like she was moving around. And when she finally collapsed, he put her in that tub, cleaned, and made up some BS story. 🤬
I think that happened when he was carrying her around and cleaning up
@@StephanieHarlowe certainly could be. I just can't believe it took Leo so long with ALL that blood. It was clearly nefarious 💔
When I saw the blood scenes it looked to me like it was an all night event. They may have been drinking and arguing, in the kitchen the attack happened, arguing continued throughout the house, she sat on the couch and probably threatened to call the cops, he maybe took her phone, some cleaning up was done, she moved to the bed and laid down, maybe she even put the shirt under the bed to leave evidence behind in fear, he came back after some cleaning to find her unresponsive and put her in the tub and kept cleaning. Abusive and explosive arguments (and by arguments I’m meaning yelling at the victim from the abuser) are often all over the place, ongoing, and chaotic. I just imagine (sadly) a huge spat. I think during the initial cleaning, before he checked on her in the room he called his friend, and then cooled off for a few hours while he cleaned, and then called the friend again and then the cops when he found her in the tub.
I totally agree, I believe she was trying to the away from him as he continued to assault her. How rich do you have to be? How well connected do you have to be to get justice?
@missis5719 there were no external[bleeding] injuries just alot of bruising there is a possibility skin split and healed shut under the bruises but none visable...
Edit: (excluding the head trauma but that was mentioned)
This is such a nightmare 😢 to have your loved one die and to be the only ones investigating their murder while police do nothing.. breaks my heart.
Stephanie I'd love to hear your theories on Andrew Gosden. His family are so strong and always looking for him. Please remind people he is still loved and being looked for!
I think she covered Andrew's case a couple years ago.
Hasn't there just been an arrest of 2 men?
Rest in peace LeeAnn. You didn't deserve this ❤️
The detectives involved in this case need to watch this video! This is just crazy.
I wonder if any research was done on the boyfriend's relationship with anyone in the police department - either related or family friends that go back generations. This totally sounds like the "good ol' boy" system I've seen in a couple southern towns my family and I have lived in.
him being a man is enough for him to be protected
@@hattarapilvi I don’t get it. There are a ton of men in prison. Being a man doesn’t protect you from prison. Probably, statistically being a woman protects you more from prison.
In reality, taking garbage like how this case was handled and blaming the problem on men and their “privilege” is highly ineffective. It may be (& definitely sounds like) corruption in the police department, but unless the men’s sections in the jails and prisons over there are empty, blaming this on male privilege is kinda ridiculous.
Hi Stephanie, this is such a a horrific case, I hope there’s justice for her and her family. Thank you for covering these unsolved (ish in this case) cases! From one of your many UK fans could you please look into a a live case in the UK….A missing mum of two Nicola Bulley, its such a mystery and I would love your instinctive input…she dropped her kids at school, parked up and took her dog on a walk, sent a text to meet up later in the week with a friend, she also sent a work email and then connected to a zoom work call which was left on mute, within 20 mins or so she had vanished into thin air, her dog was found running around frantically, and the dogs harness and her mobile phone (still connected to her zoom call) were found on a bench, police immediately announced that they were not looking for a third party in her disappearance and that they thought she had fallen in the water, but the dog was dry and he liked to swim, so many have suggested that if she had fallen in the dog would have gone in after her and if she had gone in after the dog, either way the dog would have been wet and he wasn’t. There’s CCTV cameras in various places and she was seen and spoken to by other dog walkers in various places on this popular dog walk. Her husband has been ruled out as he works from home and there is CCTV/camera footage of him at home during this time. Police divers have been searching the water for two weeks and have found nothing…its a real mystery and really feeling for her husband and children. Her husband has now come out and said that he doesn’t believe she is in the water and that she was a very strong swimmer too…. It’s so bizarre, please take a quick look if you have the time. Thank you :) xxx
😢😢😢 aww w🎉ahahaha hviu ih bqh😅😊😊😊😅b 😊 hu bwvivg
that case already gets lots of attention. I saw a 13 year old girl Mariama has been missing since 9 February in Southwark in Britain and nobody cares. I just saw it on twitter. Some cases get all the attention other get ignored.
@C Skelton That's bizarre! Especially in the UK where you guys are the 3rd most surveilled country in the world behind China and the US with 6.18 million CCTV/security cameras which is 1 security camera for every 10.9 people. You'd think with a country so surveilled that a person in a public place and in broad daylight no less, couldn't just disappear into thin air like that.
She's definitely not in the water because that dog would've tried to save her 100% cause that's how dogs are even if they're too small to really help. If she had been drowning, at minimum, the dog would be wet from trying to help her. If she was incapacitated and taken by someone who carried her to a nearby car, then the dog would absolutely be panicked and running around trying to get help just like the dog was doing. If she'd drowned, the dog would've stayed close by the water and only tried to get help by running up to passerbys, and then trying to get the person to follow them back to the water.
I hope that police look through the CCTV of all nearby parking lots and areas where a car could park nearby because they'll probably find video of her abductor and her being carried unconscious or being walked under threat of a weapon.
This is absolutely puzzling and right up Stephanie's alley. 🤔
Boy, I bet that bf could not believe his LUCK to have such an INEPT police department and DA! Life sure has blessed him.
He can think that is luck here and now.. but when he meets his maker and is banished to Hell for all eternity. I don't know how lucky he will feel at that point.
His uncle is the superior court clerk
Leeann was a friend of mine, Thank you for doing this!
I love how much work Stephanie puts into her videos. The research the dedication, we stan
Me and my family had a very busy weekend! I had no time for any true crime cases. So you know how excited I was to get notified for a new Harlowe video 🙌🏾
that's what Monday's are for! Catching up with "work"
Indeed! 👍🏽
Thank you so much for sharing this! I remember when this happened. She was a good friend of my moms. A wonderful person. I hope this video helps her and her family. It is an aweful and horrible situation.
15 minutes into the story and right away you hear of police work that is terrible. They did nothing to get answers. Thank goodness the family was persistent. Tanks Stephanie for the story. Be safe.
Needed some Stephanie this morning to get me through. ❤
You got this!
Yes , I need to hear your commentary when I'm cleaning my house !! Takes me away lol
Same ❤️Hope whatever is going on gets better
same
Same. She got me through the last part of my workout! @sydnee if you were having a hard time I hope it gets better ❤
My husband is constantly reminding me not to trust people and it hurts my heart that we live in a world like this. I’m the kind of person that will give/ do anything for someone and my husband knows that. Every-time I leave he reminds me to lock my car doors and not talk to anyone I don’t know. Such a sad world we live in 😢
You are such a badass Steph for calling the police department! Also, I’d love to hear what Derek thinks about this too! I’m sure he would agree that this is insane!
Mondays are the best days. Day off and I get to spend my morning having coffee and watching! Thanks for all your hard work Stephanie! Your story telling is incredible! I also love your sensitivity, and your no nonsense attitude! Keep being a bad ass!
Agreed, yes and yes!! Very well put!! ,)
A great way to start my morning by watching Stephanie new true crime video! I'm very happy to see Stephanie notifications came up, so I can watch this case with my brother!
good morning!
This is a perfect example of why social media is vital to solving crime! There are many many many people who are just ignored when they are victim of crime. Even just burglary or car jacking can happen with local police going “well they are always having drama” and put little to no effort into helping the person. The lack of police protection can be EXACTLY what makes the person the perfect victim for every criminal. So the idea of failing to investigate a murder is clearly going to happen when this is happening in a community. So social media is the BEST thing that’s ever happened to solving crimes!!!
Hey Stephanie, love the vid, I hadn't heard of this case, but when you were talking about the autopsy report I paid close attention because I'd just been studying hepatic function for school. I have a couple comments that I hope can clarify something. Regarding the hepatic "cirrhosis" stage, that couldn't have happened due to oxygen deprivation, cirrhosis is an exclusively long term, chronic condition, most likely attributed to chronic drinking but it could also come from an undiagnosed hepatitis B or C, sometimes those hepatitis present themselves with mild to non existent symptoms and the patient don't even know they had hep B or C, but the liver damage keeps building over time; some cirrhosis patients never had a drink in their lives, but statistically it's overwhelmingly caused by chronic drinking. The other thing, about the bruises, most coagulation factors are produced in the liver, in a patient with cirrhosis that production is severely damaged, so it's actually pretty common to start having unexplained bruises from the mildest contacts. At this stage they can bruise like a hemophiliac patient, so the presence of bruising doesn't indicate what we'd all assume if she wasn't suffering from cirrhosis. I'm sorry about the lengthy comment but I wanted to say this while it's still fresh in my head LOL. Love you girl._
Thank you. Glad someone posted this. Acute liver failure could be caused from lack of oxygen and/or the meds she was given in hospital. Or what we sometimes call “shock liver.” Cirrhosis is chronic scarring. I’ve actually had a patient with nonalcoholic fatty liver that led to cirrhosis and she required a liver transplant, no history of hepatitis and poor lady never drank alcohol either.
i am glad someone brought this aspect of leeann’s case up. i was diagnosed with cirrhosis & esld five years ago. as was stated by the previous commenter, cirrhosis patients lack normal coagulation and will bleed profusely from the smallest injury. i can also attest to the bruising! another factor is the possible varices, the bleeding that would occur due to a rupture would be severe & commonly fatal.
@L Nash You just explained my father's situation to a T. He has fatty liver disease and has never been a drinker and doesn't have Hepatitis or anything. He's on the transplant list as we speak.
@weedy wendy My father has Fatty Liver Disease and gets varices and had one in his throat that almost killed him because he didn't know it was ruptured and bleeding.
@@megannoe2057 hope he gets a transplant soon!! My patient had one a number of years ago, and she was doing great!! Prayers 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for following this. I grew up with her parents and there is no words that can describe just how messy the police department handled this. The family deserves justice be done.
Something to consider - patients in liver failure can have excessive bruising because the liver is responsible for creating clotting factors. If her liver was already shutting down by the time she went to the hospital, she could have developed bruises from “injuries” that wouldn’t normally cause bruising (like someone moving her into the bath tub).
He beat her head into the wall. I know her
I love it that you said Bangor correctly. Most say it wrong..I live in Bangor..small town and scary to think of!
Excellent presentation, as always. Thank you for all your hard work researching and presenting these cases. I know how emotionally draining your chosen profession is and I pray you are taking care of yourself and your family. Thank you once again!
Stephanie, I totally agree with you regarding the dog!
You are so right about being too nice which I have been all my life. I've been taken advantage of more times than I care to think about. I remind myself by saying that "nice" is a four letter word too.
I completely agree but I keep seeing people say that about "that's a four letter word too" or whatever, can you please tell me what that means?
@@UnCreativeBeliever a lot of curse words have 4 letters , so a 4 letter word is often synonymous with insults like cunt
When they walked in that bedroom I yelled "HELL NO!!!" AND THEN THE LUMINOL. OMFG.
Hi Stephanie.
Absolutely love following both your own TH-cam channel and Crime Weekly with Derrick.
I’m from the UK and we have a massive case in the news right now which as a nation, I think we are all following.
It’s the Nicole Bulley case. She disappeared while out taking her dog for a walk along the rive Wyer, the police seemed to focus their efforts on the water for a long time.. with no luck.
There’s loads of weird things that don’t add up..
The husband gives me Chris Watt vibes
Her husband owns the company that supplies the cctv by the caravan park and was THE ONLY camera that wasn’t working the morning of her disappearance.
I’d love for you to have a look at it and maybe touch upon it in your crime weekly news or maybe do a longer show in it! I think you would get your teeth sunk right into this one!! Absolutely bizarre
Thanks for continuing to bring us exceptional content
Best wishes

The case if very interesting. Where did you find the information that her partner (they aren’t married) owns a company that supplies the cctv though? I cannot find anything on that. Also her partner seems to be the one constantly pressing the police to investigate more thoroughly 🤔
Thanks for another great presentation, Stephanie! Agreed, these corrupt, lazy-seeming police departments should be ashamed of themselves! I don’t think the police in general have a whole lot of wiggle room insofar as public opinion? Crazy so many of them seem to think they can get away with stuff like that!
Love your thorough, compelling episodes! I’m sure victims’ families are appreciative.
Also thanks for calling out animal abuse - inexcusable!
Such a sad case, praying LeeAnn gets justice!! Shared to Facebook
This is crazy to me.
I live in Virginia but have spent a lot of time in the outer banks. I have my own personal stories of the negligence of kitty Hawk police department, the outer banks police department as a whole… two specific stories of negligence from their first responders once in kitty hawk and once in duck/Corolla. It’s a beautiful place geographically but it’s hard to feel safe there. Thank you Stephanie for covering this.
Love your channel, Stephanie ❤️ .
You are a master at story telling with your true crime. 👍 Thank you for all your hard work, which you put into your videos!🥰🤗
Thank you so much for being here!

When do you sleep Momma?? Wife, daughter, friend, and impeccable deep diver!!
From all the recent stories out of NC and all the law blunders by LEOs and the justice system there, I’ve determined that I would never move to North Carolina. This case is just maddening! How is the state bureau of investigation NOT involved in this by now????
Really heartbreaking to think about how often this may happen
My thoughts exactly.
It happens too damned often; that's for sure! 😔😮💨
Never heard of this (like Stephanie) and I am in shock!!
My prayers to the loves ones and to the investigators to GET A CLUE!!
I cant explain how relaxing your videos are ! Today i had my first smear test and went through a panic attack so had to call in sick at work. Thank you for this video, very nice to have this to listen to.
hope everything turns out okay!!!
Oh bless you. They are just grim. But well done for going through with it as it can be a life saver. Take care.
I'm sorry for not remembering the exact day....but Happy Birthday this month, fellow Aquarian !!! You're the best, your work is absolutely unparalleled....please just keep being you !💜💜💜
I can only speak from experience in the federal system. We had grand juries once a month and the docket filled quickly.
Often a case could be pushed to the next month because of a paperwork issue. The last thing you want to do is go forward and show your cards too soon.
From my experience 3 months isn’t bad for a grand jury indictment
Thank you for helping me get through Monday morning at work Stephanie!
Always feeling super safe after watching these in my NC boondocks home…😅
How on earth could all that visible blood on the mattress just be ignored by the authorities?! It is terrifying that some police turn such a blind eye. And I can't imagine the distrust in police that this has instilled in her children. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones and I hope this finally goes to trial soon so they can have a semblance of closure. 💔
On a different note, have you seen the story in Germany about the doppelganger murder? I would love to hear your take on that one. It sounds like a movie plot. So scary!
Happy to see this upload while I crochet a cow before dropping of my son at school. praying for Justice for LeeAnn
Hope you enjoyed your mini vaca 💜 you deserve it! Thank you for all your awesome content. Definitely one of my favorite true crime TH-camrs. Your dedication, intelligence, compassion, and how deep you go into these cases is much appreciated not only by me but I'm sure the family and friends of the victims for bringing attention to their cases 💜
Im from a tiny town in ohio an everyone had a saying when a new person moved to town. "Let them in ur yard, never ur home" an they ment invite to a bbq, have a picnic w them, get to no ur neighbors but never let them in ur home bc of course u dont really no these ppl
As I watched the video of the cottage, I thought, "Wow... It's like he didn't even try to cover up what he did! Did he really think cops couldn't figure it out? ... ...Oh wait."
And that's very sad.
Very chilling when a case happens in your backyard, I grew up in colingon and am a local at heart and i didn’t realize this case was happening.
I live on the outer banks and have followed this devastating story ever since it happened 😔🙏 I sent this to Trisha cahoon, in hopes she messages you back because a lot is missing from this video, alot of critical details, saddening and major details. 🙏😔💜. Dare county sheriff's department completely neglected this case A LOT👏 LEEANN DESERVES JUSTICE 🙏💜🙌🤟
I don’t know the major details but he did end up accepting a plea deal and only got sentenced to 5-7 years!!! Crazy
Could you do a video on the boy Lorenzo from Puerto Rico? His mom is like Casey Anthony, she had part in his death and she is still walking free. Since you always do thorough research, will help me giving me more clarity and hopefully more attention to his case so justice can be done
Just looked up his Wikipedia page. His Mom said he'd fallen out of bed, but he'd literally had stabs on his little face. His sisters removed from home.
Desperately sad case and I'm glad you are raising awareness. It's so incredibly frustrating that the police do not follow their own basic standards. We all know " in the event of an unexpected death you treat it as suspicious and as a crime scene until you can be sure it's not." The very fact he distanced her to friend and said he "thought" she fell..on the 911 call... as if he wasn't living with her..is suspicious. Even if she just fell then went to bed he's at least negligent that he didn't get her help. Given the blood just everywhere there's no way he was unaware this was a bad injury.
This is insanity, the amount of blood ALL OVER that house is not physically possible to be from a fall. Clearly the clothing/towels SOAKED in blood, the blood trail literally leading to the cleaning supplies, washing machine and shower alone is enough for an investigation to be opened. I’m from a small town myself & I definitely don’t think the police department would’ve done anything if the family didn’t fight for it. So glad they did.
Holy purple is your color lady!!!! Wow! If I was you I’d wear purple all day every day. Lol
Yay! Lying on the couch feeling crappy after chemo but so happy I can be distracted by our gal Stephanie!❤
I hope you feel better soon 💕
Prayers of healing and love from me to you.
Well wishes and healing thoughts to you 🙏🏼 I hope you can comment sometime soon that you’re in remission ❤
Sending you hugs! ❤️ I just spent the morning having platelets transfusion (I have Chronic ITP) I spend a lot of time with blood cancer patients having transfusions ....Breaks my heart xxx
🙏🙏
Stephanie, you are such a fighter of injustice and the underdog! And I’m 100% here for it! Love you and this beautiful community!!❤
I live in Australia (Perth), and these videos pop up when I’m going to bed 😅
EDIT: I’m very sorry if my previous comment came across insensitive, that was not my intention. 💜
Mine too!! 🤣🤣
sweet dreams, darling!
Me too!! Perth timezones mean the perfect stories for getting ready for bed
Me too.. I’m in Adelaide..
GOOD DAY MATE
Stephanie you just made my week by uploading this 🤗 Thank you!
Thank you Stephanie for doing this video for Lee Ann!♥️🙏🎈
Steph that was so true what you were saying at the end, watch out who you open your home and your heart too, i have done this many times and got burned, last time i got my heart broken and that was a year ago, starting too move on now but the hurt is always there. Condolences to Leannes family 🙏
Video starts at 5:45 😊
Think you dropped this queen. 👑

I feel the need to state Orville and Wilbur Wright only needed N. Carolina for flight. Being a Daytonian, from Dayton Ohio, we know the Wright brothers developed and engineered everything here in downtown Dayton but Ohio is flat so they were forced to travel for flight. Lol.
I hate how in these situations, law enforcement acts like we want to know all the evidence they've found, when all we want is to know that they _looked_ for evidence
Great job as usual Stephanie!! I love listening & watching your videos as well as True Crime Weekly
Your presentation & sassy style has me even rewatching one I have already seen before !!
I watch old videos too while I wait for new ones lol
I had not heard of this case either. Thank You So Much for researching this case and bringing it to our attention 💚
Thank you so much for covering this story!!
I will tell you he has a old family name, drugs are horrible with the locals/natives , and kh police does have a blind eye.
I grew up there. It’s definitely changed. The locals behind the tourist scene are different and the cops really suck there.
Hey Stephanie ,thank you for another great case to raise awareness of poor Leanne xx
What a perfect start to my day! Thank you for what you do and helping me get through the monotony of my daily work routine! ❤
Coffee and crime time suggestion: near my home town in lancashire, England, theirs an on going investigation in to the very mysterious disappearance of mother of 2 Nicola Bulley whilst she was walking her dog, it is very strange circumstances that she has gone missing with absolutely no leads to go off as far as we the public know, the police seem convinced she has fallen in the water, but her family, everyone she knows and really most people looking at the case so far doesn't believe that, sonar searches have come up with nothing at all, the diving/sonar expert himself has come out to say he doesn't think she's in the water, honestly everyone is just baffled by it, would love to see your take as you're so good at compiling all the information and making some sense of it/ coming up with possible theories X
love you for giving these victims their voices back!!!❤❤
Stephanie, I love the way you tell it like it is! Much respect to you! This is very concerning because this case isn’t the only one where justice hasn’t been properly served. I couldn’t imagine having to fight for the police to do their jobs while mourning a loved one. Sad, really sad!
I live in America, but my sleep schedule is non-existent. So these videos are ALSO my bedtime stories
Same
Same😭
Same here !
Me too.
Ever since I became sick ( over 2.5 years) my sleep is disturbed I wake up each night few times each night and I live in these videos ❤️
Ok, I heard about this story before. It took me a minute to realize it. I didn't hear much about it but some of it. Thank you for doing a video about it!
I am pregnant with twins and on bed rest. These videos keep me going 😊
That sounds rough but you're doing great! I bow down to you, mama!
@@StephanieHarlowe thank you 🙏
Thank you for the attention you bring to cases that don't get the mainstream coverage. Please have a look at Irene Gakwa's case, a Kenyan nurse who has been missing since February 2022. Thank you.
I wrote her name down and I am on it!
@@StephanieHarlowe Thank you! This will really help bring more attention to her case and hopefully help her family get the justice she deserves.
Such a big fan Stephanie ! Your compassion and caring comes through in every video you do! I have watched many different people doing true crime videos and your skill of story telling really helps understand all the events that led up to the loss of these poor people, that deserve to be here with us! Looking forward to your next video as usual!
Hey Glad you covered this case, Just wanted to let you know I knew some mutual people that were friends with her cousin. I used to live out there. I contacted her and told her you had tried to get up with her and sent her a link to this video. She very much appreciated it and I hope she will contact you soon!
Hadn't heard about this case. It's frightening how police can dismiss suspicious situations like this. Why? WHY???
You’re bit at the end of the video was so well spoken. I agree 100%. Too many lessons have been learned the hard way, and in sad cases like this, lives have been lost. Please all take care of yourselves. Protect the ones you love and be wary of the ones you let in
I live by the motto "don't help someone who won't help themselves" and the word "help" is interchangeable with "care" as well. It's been hard but it's more important for my safety and well being to set boundaries!! 💯🌟🥰
I can’t believe the lack of integrity and quality police work in either this case or Ellen Greenberg’s case !!! Not are so obviously foul play that anyone can see an investigation is warranted . Praying for justice !!! Thank you for bringing these miscarriages of justice to light
