    For all of you commenting on Oakland: Kristen disappeared from Crocker Galleria in San Francisco NOT Oakland. Her parents reported her missing in Oakland because that’s where she was living at the time. She was last seen at the ATM in Wells Fargo in SF. If she had returned to Oakland instead of going to Lands End, she would have walked to Montgomery BART station in SF, a busy station where there would certainly have been a witness. To get to the house in 274 Jayne Ave, she would have disembarked at the 19th Street BART station which is a very busy station in downtown Oakland--a station I take every weekday. There would certainly have been a witness there as well. She either disappeared in SF and never returned to Oakland or returned to Oakland late at night when there are very few people riding BART to witness it. Jon Onuma was the person who falsely claimed she was murdered near Point Reyes. Jon Onuma was known to have placed personal ads for women to coerce them to have sex with him. If she was killed, her roommates should have some information since, in 2015, her blood was found in the home and the dog alerted for decomposition. I’m not accusing the roommates, but shouldn’t they know something since there was evidence of her decomposed body in the house? Did it take them 3 days to contact Kristen’s parents because it took them 3 days to clean it up? Even if she was killed in the house, what does that have to do with Oakland or whatever the conditions of the city are at the moment? The city didn’t murder her and the city didn’t cause her disappearance. Apparently, there was no connection to drug dealers, gangs, or any other “criminal” element. I’ve lived here all of my life in a neighborhood people who don’t live here consider “the most dangerous” but I have never been a victim of a crime nor have any of my relatives. I love my city and always will.

      The dog alerting for decomp doesn't really mean all that much. Some dogs are so sensitive that they can alert to remains that are centuries old. So you shouldn't take that as evidence of her decomposing body in the home.
      I would want to know more about the blood evidence that was found in the home.
      Also, I'm sorry to hear that you are so institutionalized to such a terrible area. It's amazing what humans can become accustomed to over years of trauma. There are people who love living in places like Somalia and Baghdad. There are even people who prefer being in the prison system to being free.
      I hope one day you realize that life can be better, that most of the nation isn't like that, and you don't have to subject yourself to the conditions there.

      A dog is not evidence. It's a tool to give you a place to look. If there's only a dog alerting to decompression, then there is no evidence of decomposition. A dog is fallible animal, not a scientific instrument.

      @@scottcantdance804 I never asserted she was murdered at the house in Oakland. She most likely died somewhere in San Francisco because there’s no proof she’d returned home. Bloodhounds picked up her scent at the Muni Geary 38 bus near the Galleria and along Ocean Beach but never alerted handlers that she’d made her way to public transportation returning home. There were no witnesses or security cameras showing her near SF BART station coming home or disembarking in a BART station in Oakland. I only mentioned that it’s suspicious that it took her 4 roommates 3 days to report her missing. Had they reported it sooner maybe her body might have been found. But, WHAT IF she had made it back home? Police Sgt Dostie and Dr. Apad Vass (nation’s leading forensic anthropologist) investigated the house again in Feb. 2015. They found that, the decomposing material that Buster the cadaver dog alerted to, included human blood that MATCHED KRISTEN’S PARENTS who provided samples. Why isn’t Oakland Police following up on this? Also, the FBI concluded no foul play. I believe she died (accident or murder) at Lands End, Baker Beach, Ocean Beach, or San Francisco. The main suspect is Jon Onuma, from SF (not Oakland!) who lived near Kristen’s job, and had been accused of attacking women in the past. According to one of his victim’s, featured in “America’s Most Wanted,” he hit her over the head, threatened to kill her and said “now you know what happened to Kristen Modefferi.” Did she get a ride home and was killed in the house? Nobody knows. The point to my comment was: Why is everyone insulting the city of Oakland if she probably never made it out of SF? Even if she HAD been killed at the house, what does that have to do with Oakland? Oakland didn’t kill her. There is no indication that a felon, drug dealer, or gang banger from Oakland killed her. Her parents reported her missing to the Oakland Police because that is where she was living at the time and doesn’t mean she was killed there. My comment was meant to defend my city, the city I love, not to point guilt at her roommates… but, they ARE hella suspicious!

      There was a halfway house next door. Did someone from the halfway house encounter her in her own cellar? But if so then how would they get rid of her, esspecially if the male roommates were home ?? Did just one of the roommates do something and get rid of her?? How is this still unsolved unless it was totally random. The stuff in basement has to be significant I would think. If she fell in water than her body would most likely go back to land and float near shore. If it did happen in cellar then how did they drag her out and put her in car with Noone seeing? A violent death of a young person or even animal is very upsetting and disturbingly keeps my mind twisting and turning about why and who!

    I love how this content creator keeps the focus on the missing person, instead of shining the spotlight on themselves. Many true crime videos look as if they’re a freakin’ make up tutorial, with the tone and attitude to match. This channel maintains a respectful tone, even slightly somber, keeping in mind the video pertains to a real person who went missing. Another great video from this channel.

      I'm not sure where those ideas come from. Missing children cases ARE taken seriously. However, over 90% of the time, teens who go "missing" actually left on their own accord. There is simply not enough manpower to follow every case unless there is evidence of an emergency.
      It's not that police don't care. They would be wasting important resources if they investigated every child who ended up going to a friend's house and forgot to tell their parents. That's very common.

    I remember hearing about this case when I was a kid. I heard an SF spokesman say that she probably had an accident and fell into the ocean. I remember thinking: “This cop thinks she was taking pictures while walking backwards and fell into the ocean?! How come her body didn’t float back up??!!” I was young but I knew that was ridiculous. It’s the cops doing the least they can do once again. Most likely, it was foul play. The cops couldn’t solve it so they just dropped it. At least they half-ass looked for her because if she was a person of color they would have never bothered to look for her at all.

      @@VioletJoy I live here, do you? Because the police is corrupt, we don’t call them. We prefer to call the fire dept or ambulance no matter what the situation is because they will be the ones to contact the police. The police will come to “protect” the first responders not to deal with whatever crime is being committed. The police don’t respond to certain people who call from certain areas--in other words, areas where people of color live. I have experienced and witnessed racism, harassment and corruption by the police dept. They NEVER responded to a rape victim who lives in East Oakland but responded within 2 mins. to a “suspicious” vehicle driving around the neighborhood in Oakland Hills. They didn’t attempt to search for a missing 3 year old boy who was African-American until his story hit the local news. But, they immediately searched for an adult white man who was missing. Officers here are known to assault and harass innocent people for simply sitting or standing in front of their own home (My siblings and I have been victims of this harassment and assault.) For decades, the police have been framing African-American men for drug crimes they never committed. These cops were known as “The Riders.” Cops are still doing this now. We don’t trust cops here, so much so that when a police officer tried to order food at a restaurant other customers complained and he was told he wouldn’t be served there. The police is department is corrupt up to the highest ranking. Are there some good cops? I’m sure there are. My uncle was one of those good cops but he did nothing to make things better. He kept his mouth shut just like every other good cop and transferred to the Richmond, CA police dept. Kristen Modafferi disappeared from San Francisco not Oakland but Oakland police did more to look for her than they did for anyone of color missing from Oakland. So, if anybody is making assumptions, it’s YOU. You assumed that I have no experience in the police dept’s institutionalized racism, neglect and harassment of the people of color, and the downright framing of people of color. If you live here, then you would know how much we dislike and don’t trust the police. And, I would be more than happy to list to you to your face exactly how many terrible experiences I have been through and witnessed regarding the police dept. If you don’t live here, then you don’t know, do you ? Your opinion is based on nothing and means nothing.

    I'm inclined to agree with Kristin's mother that going alone to the Bay Area for the summer was a bad idea at her age; staying with friends or family (if she had any there), or having the family go with her would have been a much safer idea. But more productively, I have a thought on the ad that she circled: I don't think that she posted it.
    What occurs to me is that if it was "her" ad, then wouldn't the police have found a rough draft of some kind floating around her place? It could have been either on a computer or on paper, but it might have been there. Without it, evidence seems to lean towards her *responding* to the ad. Furthermore, despite have purged their records, might someone at the paper not have remembered, however casually, seeing her or corresponding with her? If no one there recognized a picture of her, a phone number, or an email address, with or without their records, that's another clue in favor of her having only answered the ad.

      Having friends or family staying with her doesn't necessarily mean they would have went everywhere with her. This still could have happened during times she went places alone. As for the ad, it mentioned to "call me" if interested. Meaning there should have been a phone number included. I am surprised there was no mention of the police calling the number. Poor investigation if that's the case.

We may never feel like we are taking risks when we get into a Uber but we are with a stranger in charge and that's the same when you book into a hotel and that reception has a spare key to your room. Right there can be a criminal. I hope the parents don't regret their decision she embraced the opportunity landing 2 jobs and sadly something criminal seems to have happened and that could've happened right back home.

Or did personal ads not include peoples phone numbers and if you wanted to respond to one you’d have to call up the newspaper to get that information?

They might as well have let her reside in Vietnam! Unfathomable -- universities, even Berkeley, have summer accomodations for proper academic courses, perhaps not for photography courses, which should have raised alarm bells. Cadaver dogs sensed human remains at her residence could have been any former residents. Instead of Kristen's Law, how about CRIME PREVENTION and outlawing bad liberal crime policies that result in such crimes. But will San Francisco learn from this? Nope.

Your scripts are now use much more elaborate phrases, some of which are quite jarring and just overcomplicate the narration. I have compared this vid to a couple from a few months ago and the difference is very noticeable. I don't know whether you've employed a scriptwriter, have started using AI somehow or are simply 'padding out' the scripts but please go back to what you were doing before. It is so much more natural and engaging and tbh I have struggled to get to the end of your recent vids due to the over elaborate scripts which kind of ruin it for me and make your videos hard to watch these days.
