I mean, Ted Bundy was a “nice guy.” Chris Watts was a “nice guy.” Scott Peterson was a “nice guy.” I know these cases are different but my point is, you can’t rule someone out because they’re, “nice.” That’s one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever heard!
One thing I have to say is if they found $1,200 cash in Lauren's belongings, there is no way she asked a man that she just met for $40 to do her nails. Everything about his story is suspect
This really depends on what kind of person we’re talking about. I’m not assuming this about Lauren but I know people in my own family who (when dating) are looking to see if a man will spend money on them or not. Even if they have money already.
@@vee_grave Mrs. Graves, look at that woman. In almost every picture her nails were done. BEFORE THIS PHYSCO. i truly believe this case is just smothered in foul play and these people know. I dont know how someone being a nice man could dismiss any of this. She had 3 drugs in her system including alcohol. No matter if he says she was in the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. How coould you ingest that many drugs in that amount of time. to return to a movie so calm. its just mind boggling. so many inconsistencies in this mans story and such a beautfiul life lost. I truly hope this lawyer is really on his Ps and Qs because this is a serious case and its the little details that matter.
@@delvinlino869 I totally agree with you on everything you are saying. I was just noting that it is not out of this world for a woman who is concerned with aesthetics to also date men who can finance the maintenance costs of that aesthetic. I’ve witness this in my life so much to say this with confidence.
Just cause someone says they’re for nails , doesn’t mean that they are. In that area to get the set redone and filled IS about 40 with design though to be fair.
As a black woman I just want to say that I really appreciate that you cover all cases of all different types of races backgrounds. It's not very often that you find that people give our stories good or bad a lot of light. So not only are you really good at what you're doing but you are making an impact. Sending hugs.
I really appreciate you using your large platform to cover black cases. 🙏🏾. Every case is important, but as you know, our stories don’t get nearly as much coverage. Truly appreciate this.
I’m only 12.5 minutes in and I’m shaking because I’m so angry.. I can’t imagine being her family through all of this. I’m so glad you are bringing more attention to this case. It needs all the attention! No victim’s family ever should have to go through this.
This is pretty common when the victim is black. If you watch Kendall’s videos where the missing/murdered person is black I’m most of them she stated the family had to do their own investigation. It’s just how it is 🤷🏽♀️
WTF?? 😳😨 The detective hung up on the family and told them to stop calling him? After making them wait for almost 2 hours and pretending that he was coming to meet them???
I had one that wouldn’t even answer my call about my sister’s death. It’s like they don’t want to be bothered. I mean.. I get it if you’re busy… tell me that at the least.
"Very nice guy" is code for: He has powerful connections within law enforcement or the judicial system and possibly has something to hide in his history that is similar to this case. The police only go out of their way to protect their own and they've gone over and beyond out of their way to protect this man. Their negligence is blatantly criminal and needs to be assessed as such. This is also discrimination and there is no attempt to hide that they were tampering with and withholding vital evidence needed to proceed with a thorough investigation. I hope the family is successful with their lawsuit but I would've personally went for more money just for the simple fact that they are intentionally negligent.
Bridgeport’s mayor is a convicted felon for things he did while in office and he’s STILL in office after serving in prison. I’m not surprised the police are this corrupt as well. I live right outside of Bridgeport and it’s so sad to hear about these cases. I really hope these women get justice.
Agreed!! These cases are heartbreaking. Our Rep Treneé McGee in West Haven was at a rally the other day speaking about these women and finding justice for them.
Notifying next of kin is the single most remedial thing a police department does when there is any kind of death. Something is really going on in this town's police department. There is absolutely no doubt about this whatsoever.
I didn’t know these women but I live here in Bridgeport & I gotta say I’ve heard more about their cases from tik tok creators and TH-camrs than our local news stations. Thank you for keeping their names alive!
The way Detective Cronin handled this case and how he spoke to Lauren's family is just maddening. He should be removed from the force, not just from Lauren's case. Smh. I feel terrible for her family.
Maybe that "nice guy" must have some kind of connection to the police force or even is a friend or family member of that detective and he covered evidence up that's why he was taken off the case.
You are one of the only “true crime” TH-camrs I respect. You don’t sensationalize, you don’t attempt to be funny, you always highlight the lives and humanity of the victims, you focus on the cases that genuinely deserve to be heard, not just the ones that will get you the most views or likes. It’s so refreshing to see work like yours on TH-cam when so many people attempt to make true crime into a gimmick or cash grab in a way that completely disrespects the life of the victim. I know this kind of work can be difficult and emotionally exhausting but I appreciate the work you do so much. Take care of yourself and remember how much support you have
because viewers of said channels are more interested in the drama and see it as entertainment rather than something serious, which is really unfortunate
@blingkitty Oh god lol I know exactly who you're talking about -_- I have watched a few of her videos and the way she talks about real murder cases as if they're juicy gossip or episodes of some reality show... makes me a little bit nauseous
Your allyship to people of color is so meaningful. Telling these under investigated stories where the victim/deceased are brown and black people is so important. Thank you.
@@Tucker2love but we need the attention towards black and brown people because so many cases don't get ANY attention at all. please don't derail the conversation or make it about something it's not.
The response from the police about why they didn’t notify the family is such BS and infuriating!! My dad was 65 and died in his own apt , his girlfriend found him and I WAS STILL NOTIFIED AT MY FRONT DOOR by police within the immediate hours afterwards. They were cast aside as if they weren’t even human with families , absolutely disgusting and those officers and ones in charge of the cases should be removed from their positions. I pray their families get answers
It reminds of the case of that Black man who was pulled over, shot, and killed while being observed from police in helicopter. He was walking backwards towards the officers on the scene and the police in the helicopter said “He looks like a bad dude” …. Like how can you tell that from a helicopter? They sure love coming to conclusions based on appearances rather than actually investigating properly and justly.

right? Ted Bundy was a nice guy, Chris Watts was a nice guy and so many other men who end up as murderers.
So was Ted Bundy, people said John Wayne Gacy was a friendly guy and a pillar of the community. Like. The pure neglect, sounds like "Michael" has some sort of connection or relation to the police department or someone high up.
@Porter93 dude what? If anything the guy probably slipped her something. And even if it was an accident or her brother gave her something that guy should’ve still been questioned.
@Blue Plumbob Idk if you know since you said wanted but they found his body and he wrote down he killed Gabby. Just in case you didn’t hear I’m not trying to be a smart ass or anything.
Many years ago I was present when an accidental death occured. I actually performed CPR on him. It was during a party and he legitimately accidentally overdosed. I was the one who called the emergency responders. Even though I didn't know the guy and certainly wasn't there with him, I felt so bad for his family, I not only called them to tell them all I knew about his final moments on earth, but I also attended his funeral. It's what I'd want if the shoe was on the other foot. Something's sketch.
Six weeks after Lauren Smith-Fields died, the Chief Medical Examiner released her cause of death as “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of fentanyl, promethazine, hydroxyzine, and alcohol.” It was ruled accidental.Sep 20, 2022

@Kordei - i swear nobody wants to acknowledge how black male victims are always sympathized with but with black women, nobody even believes us when something like this happens to us
@@royharper2003 correction, BLM only gets involved if a white person kills a black person. They don't care about any of them being murdered by other blacks, which is the majority of victims of black crime. Also, BLM hasn't given one red cent back to the community or any of the family members or victims of any crime that they claim to support..
A “nice guy” doesn’t crawl in bed with an unconscious woman, especially one he just met. And don’t even get me started on the police department. Absolutely inexcusable how they treated these families! I pray they get the answers they deserve. ❤️🙏
A miss goody two shoes doesn't invite a man that is 15 years older than her to her place for a first date. Drugs, condoms, lube, sounds like a party to me
@@royharper2003 "love connection"? tf, do you get that not everyone is looking for the same thing on dating apps?? And does blood on the sheets sound like a party to you? Really odd how you're dragging a dead woman.
The fact the cops did not notify the parents about Lauren being found dead is absolutely DISGUSTING. And then to be told when they do call the detective to not worry about the man that found their daughter dead because he’s a “nice guy” is just absolutely mind boggling. The way the detective and cops handled her case is absolutely horrific. Just honestly so messed up and someone should be held responsible for the neglect this family has gone through trying to find out what happened to their poor daughter.
1.Wonder if the "nice guy" was related to the investigator the messed this case up? 2. The investigators could have accessed her phone to get the information necessary for contacting a family member. 3. I am a little curious as to weather the brother did, infact, bring over some type of drug that she used in the bathroom. Also, what was the pill that was left on her counter? This is a very sad case. I hope that this precious family get the closure they deserve.
@@jami9897 he would need a warrant and unless it was suspected foul play he would never get it. Ignorance is bliss with you people. How the hell would they know the parents number or address. They want money that is why go fund me and 30 million dollar lawsuit. They know how people like you and her will believe anything about police and white men. She literally said to harrass the mayor and police even though she overdosed on fentanyl and the other was natural causes,LOL.
This goes beyond cops not prioritizing a case - I’ve literally never heard of police not notifying the next of kin. I’ve never heard of there not being an investigation for a death outside of a medical setting. I’ve never heard of police not wanting to speak to the family in person.
Even if it was an OD from drugs she took willingly… someone else was there ! They 100% need to treat it as suspicious and rule out foul play completely. This is why fighting the stigma on drug use and addiction is so important. You don’t stop being a human being when you willingly ingest a substance.
"You don't stop being a human being when you willingly ingest a substance. " is the best quote on that subject....so true, yet many people want to judge and not care about what happens to the person, just because of their drug addiction. We are still people who love, and are loved by someone ❤ thank you for saying that.
Thank you!! I'm in recovery myself and the stigmas alone are enough to understand why so many caught up in active addiction struggle with staying clean. it's very difficult to exist in a world that doesn't even see you as worthy of existing. It's not a moral failing it's called self-medicating trauma and/or untreated mental illness. Please be kind, you never know what someone else has gone through. Choose compassion!
Exactly! Its sounds like she might have ingested something thinking it was one thing and it was tainted. Happens ALOT. And some of the hardest working, highest achieving people i know experiment from time to time. Work hard, play hard. BUT, it was such gross negligence on the parr of the cops to assume that. She could have been given a date rape drug or something.
This has got to be the worst case of injustice I've ever seen. I cannot even begin to imagine what this family went through. Every law enforcement officer involved should be fired , and charged with gross negligence or corruption!. I am truly speechless. My heart goes out to her family.
I've just emailed the Bridgeport police, respectfully urging them to apply more resources to properly investigate the circumstances of both women's deaths, for the sake of the families and also the community and wider society. We just CAN'T let any unusual, suspicious death go uninvestigated, doesn't matter who it was or their level of wealth or power or their race or gender or whatever, every one is important that it's properly investigated. Otherwise it undermines the value that society puts on one person's life. It would be so dangerous to allow that to be undermined.
Its sad but awesome that there so many people out here ready to do investigating and pushing to get answers but the people that hold these positions with all the resources just dont seem to care… unless tables are turned and its their family. Thank you Amy 🙌🏼 I know it would be great for both families to see that there ARE people who care about your love ones and want answers for you. Praying they see this story and feel a little support and love from everyone on here
I live in Connecticut, and I am honestly not surprised. Bridgeport's corruption spans DECADES and decades. Thank you for covering these cases. ~Sincerely, a CT resident
I’m from NY so a neighboring state, and I feel like Bridgeport just has a bad reputation unfortunately. I’ve never so much as driven through it, but it sounds like there are nothing but problems there 😞
That entire police department needs to be investigated, starting with the chief of police and then the mayor and all the way up to the governor. Those two investigators need to go to jail as far as I’m concerned. That whole police department and the city of Bridgeport needs to be sued for millions. I pray that these two beautiful souls are resting in peace and that their families will be comforted and that they will see justice served for their loved ones. In Jesus name amen 🙏
I’m from Meriden. Bridgeport is less than 30 minutes away from me and this is so mind blowing especially thinking about the fact that my own family members use bumble and this could have happened to one of them. I am sharing and posting this video where I can. I hope you guys can do the same.
I hate CT police. I was drugged by someone and overdosed, and they told me the guy didn’t mean it cause he had ‘romantic feelings’. They just covered it up. I hope these ladies get the justice they deserve 🖤🖤🖤
That's crazy , just because he had romantic feelings , don't mean you felt the same !!! Has the world gone crazy ? To even say something like that!!!! That's sick!
I’m not an expert, but I find it VERY weird that when “Michael” called 911, it was a cop that came first, not an EMT. It really makes it sound like a cover-up to me.
When I found my BF dead, the police arrived before the EMT's. Sometimes it happens. That being said, there's WAY too much about these cases that is suspicious.
it's not weird.. it depends on which department happens to be closer.. I've beat fire & EMS plenty of times on death investigations.. & if that person can be resuscitated, police will initiate CPR until medical arrives
If these women were white and the men they were with at TOD were black it would have gone a whole different direction! I sincerely hope both of these families win their claims against the pd and more than that I hope they get answers and justice for Brenda & Lauren ♥️
153 likes is why I ask. Seems many think the same as you and just ask why? If tv not told you the answer then i expect abuse. Im hopeful your tv is not your leader. I seriously would like to know. Again, please be nice xx

@Kerry RedWolf hi kerry, I don't understand what you mean? My comment was pretty clear. White women (people) get more coverage than people of color unfortunately. They also get treated with more compassion and respect from law enforcement. These two cases are extremely suspicious and yet the police aren't doing anything to find answers for the families and justice for the victims which is appalling. They deserve just as much energy put into their cases as they would a white woman (person). Hope that clears things up for you?
You should know that not all cases of a white woman being abused or murdered are looked into. You should also know that the cops aren't God and they have limited resources, esp when people want to DEFUND THE POLICE and all such nonsense. Do you know the sheer amount of crime that is committed on a daily basis that doesn't even hit the news? Nope.
my brother was killed and i can’t imagine his case being handled like this. i wouldn’t know what to do. i’m praying they’re able to get answers. RIP to her beautiful soul

How tf does PD just not notify family/parents as soon as you said that I knew this investigation is botched shame on Bridgeport PD, hope the family gets the answers they deserve
The cases you cover are always sad, but this video is particularly gut wrenching. I can’t wrap my head around the lack of even the most minute levels of human decency.
I'm only sixteen minutes in, but Lauren's case is already very odd to me. Her family wasn't notified of her death until over a day after it happened, the policeman on the case literally told her loved ones, who were in shock and desperate for answers, to stop calling him. Then this random guy she's just met for a very casual date carries her to bed and sleeps in there with her?! I get that some people don't have strong boundaries, but honestly, if my date falls asleep on the couch of their apartment, I'd have just got up and gone home instead of sleeping in a stranger's bed. Then there's a used condom in her room, but he claims they didn't have sex? Not investigating the last person to be with her prior to her death because he was a "nice guy" is just horrible. Anybody can be "nice" when they have to save themselves from suspicion. The plate of food on the living room floor strikes me as weird, too.
This dating app guy probably has some connections to the police. That’s often the case when family is dismissed, possible evidence is ignored (or “lost”), etc.
They did the same thing to Keith Warren's family too in 1986. They didn't even perform an autopsy and rushed to embalm his body like the same day. Everything they did was sketchy. Breaks my heart for his family. They are still fighting for justice for him.
Yeah I thought the same exact thing like since it was there first time meeting, I don't understand why he would take her to bed then get in the bed with her. Any normal person would of left her on the couch and left. And the used condom is weird because who else would it belong to?
This stories are so frustrating and seeing how corrupt everything is, just makes me mad. Those poor families can't have any respect and answers especially after such traumatic events.
This is wild. Two women die in mysterious circumstances and their families aren’t even told? That is WILD. I truly hope both families find answers for their loved ones and my heart goes out to everyone who cared about these women. This is so disappointing.
Too many people arguing in the comments about whether or not Lauren did drugs or asked for money, but the root issue is the police's mishandling of this. No matter what your theory, every victim deserves the same protocol when investigating their death and the police dropped the ball every single time in this case.
And if she did ask for me to get her nails done...annnnd! Like, she had a dude who like her cash out a lil 40 dollars for some nails. Big whoop. Annnnd, iono maybe its cuz im in cali but 40 dollars maaaay get u a basic french manicure. Not even gel lol. Soooo i really wonder if he even gave her thar
“He’s a nice guy” , such obvious bias from the Bridgeport police department. These cases are so upsetting, not only should the two men seen with Lauren and Brenda be investigated, but the whole department should be as well. There is such obvious foul play happening here. I hope these families are able to get justice for Laura and Brenda. ):
It’s so obvious. And sickening that people still don’t understand public disdain and distrust for police departments! So many times they don’t do what they are supposed to do.
Unfortunately this is how 99% of the case are handled when it come to black women and people in general...sad but true. Thanks for bringing awareness...I had never even heard of these cases. My condolences to the families of these two beautiful women...may they rest in peace.
No, that is a false statistic, the police work tirelessly to solves as many cases as they can while people turn against them and want to defund them. They should do their jobs but people also need to check up on their loved ones and be involved in their lives.
@@j.rebekah860599% is high but the sentiment is correct. Bipoc victims don’t get as much resources and are often categorized as runaways, prostitutes, or drug users. Let’s not lean on political rhetoric to obscure facts.
Sounds like a whole police dept that needs fired. Hearing that someone found out their child died from a land lord and the police haven't done a single thing to help them makes me so so sick. Also you know how many people get arrested for murder and the neighbors all say how nice they are? Makes me so sick
literally lol, people are always surprised to find out my parents are divorced/divorcing and that i was violently abused by my father because it "seemed" like we had the perfect family, like they had the perfect marriage, etc. people can be manipulative and can appear a certain way in public but act completely different in private.
My best friend was found dead in her apt in 2010 and the police asked the landlord to call her mom in another state and let her know. They also said she committed suicide even though a ton of evidence showed otherwise and the neighbor saw someone go in/out of her apt. No one cares
Yepppp! Literally almost every time “I would have never guessed he seemed like such a family man!” Type of comments. Also, yes, many police departments need to be complete gutted & started over with new people!
@@trudieharvey9423 Very sad and just no where near good enough. I feel for you, her family and everyone that loved her. "Suicide" is often too easy to give justification for situations that NEED more investigation and just don't make sense. Thank you for sharing. 💗. An angel in Heaven.
What I struggle with is how can we trust the validity and legitimacy of the investigation after they’ve proven themselves so negligent and untrustworthy?
This is awful. How are the police not calling her family immediately? I don’t care how nice he is, he should have been in the station being interrogated from the start.
If you lived at an apartment and your phone was locked with your parents number in it. How would they immediately call your parents. I'm curious because I don't know how someone does that.
@@jeteaze it's like you're being willfully ignorant in your comments. the police know how to get ahold of a deceased victims' family. only if she was a jane doe, would they not know how.
I’d be asking If this man “ Michael” is related to an officer, congressman, judge or whomever they’re protecting. Because there’s a reason they’re protecting him.
In Lauren's case, she was young, as far as we know healthy and the last person she was with when she passed was a man she didn't know that well. That should have been treated as immediately suspicious until proven otherwise. No excuses. Hopefully both cases will get resolution soon.
honestly, it seems the landlord was aware of the fact the police probably wouldn't contact lauren's family or friends - it's telling the landlord had to put a notice on the door for whoever wanted to see lauren to contact them for information.
Plus they found over $1,000 at her home, so why would see has a (1st) date for $40 to get her nails done. Several things "Michael" said is very suspicious!!
They were drinking? Why didn't the police check the glasses? If they were already clean, it wasn't by Lauren, and that is telling. Did the family find the dirty glasses? Were they sent to crime lab? I am stunned by this incompetence, and the lack of communication by the Bridgeport police department.
Honestly the PD are hella sketchy, they will never admit that their department is flawed. They must have some information and not releasing and/or they really just threw everything away that could indicate that one of their own is a horrible human being. So horrible.
My husband is a homicide detective and literally last night was able to find the wife of a deceased man in Egypt and put in an international phone call to her to notify her of her husband’s death. There’s absolutely no way that they couldn’t find next of kin to notify, in fact it’s required to do so or at least make every possible attempt. Also, going to the scenes of these deaths, the detectives should have had forensics come out to take evidence and a mandatory autopsy would have been ordered through the medical examiner’s office because these deaths were of unknown origin when the bodies were found. Basically, at least in my husband’s department, you investigate every death fully and take all evidence found at the scene and question everyone you can possibly think of until you have confirmation of what happened and can rule it accidental, or medical, or a suicide or whatever it may be. This is absolutely abhorrent of this police department and these detectives should absolutely be fired and a full investigation into the department itself should be done. My heart breaks for these families and I really hope that they get the justice they deserve
Thank you for this summary! Other commenters are saying this was bad police work, but this was not even police work. This feels like the police were trying to ignore a death, for some bizarre reason, hoping it would go away. The police also aren’t known for stating that random men at the scene of unnatural deaths are “nice guys.” This all goes way beyond incompetence and into some weird conspiracy/cover-up scenario.
Examination of Lauren's hair and/or nails should be able to clarify if she was a habitual drug user or not (I"m betting she absolutely wasn't, at least not fentanyl and most likely the other drugs -excepting normal alcohol use). If there's no evidence of prior use of those drugs than that very much points to foul play, in my opinion.
Her brother was convicted felon for being a drug dealer. The fact that he dropped something off at her house before she was found with bunch of drugs in her system says it all. After her brother dropped something off, she went to the bathroom. Drug users usually go to the bathroom to do the pills. It really sounds like her brother gave her a bad batch of pills that had a large amount of fentalyl and that killed her, hence the toxiolgoly report showing OD.
@@ItsDarkRightNow highly doubtful, I watched another youtuber cover her case & apparently hey brother was dropping off some clothes she washed and never picked up. it seems more likely he drugged her when she left out the apartment.
@@ItsDarkRightNow unfortunately, I believe this is absolutely a plausible scenario. This case needs to be investigated thoroughly so that her family receives the answers necessary to properly grieve and hopefully ultimately find peace as they process.
Kendall, I’m sorry you received those angry messages. I know some people are frustrated but that anger should not have been towards you AT ALL. Thank you for giving an explanation(when you didn’t have to) and thank you for still covering the case! Love 💗
These policemen are ridiculous. So upsetting to know that these “policemen” are still treating this family differently. I’m praying they find justice for her beautiful soul
I don't think I've ever heard Kendall this pissed about a case. I just can't believe her family wasn't contacted. The detective hung up on them! The way her family was treated is fucking absurd! It's insane. I'm not usually a "lawsuit" person, but this family has every right to file multiple suits against the police, and whomever else deserves it! Like Kendall said, WHAT THE F♤CK!
Two deaths on the same day, in the same town and neither properly investigated?!?! Neither young lady’s families notified?! Prayers for the families to have continued strength to pursue and get the answers so badly needed.
This is absolutely sickening. That detective is beyond heartless, he’s just awful! I really wish Lauren’s family can get the justice they and Lauren deserve. In 2022 how on earth does the police get away with this horrendous treatment of a family and their grief 😢
We just know that if this was a white woman and a black man, this would be a completely different story. How disgusting, painful and sad. I hope justice is served.
@@royharper2003 if that was the case then it would probably be taken much more seriously and they most likely would have detained the man as a suspect, they probably would have done due diligence and also let her family know if her passing. even if it was a white woman and a white man it probably would have been the same case bc look what happened recently with gabby petito. even searching for her body they found several other dead people of color that weren’t even being looked for.
They are treating the bumble date better than the victims family... Ass backwards. GET IT TOGETHER. This woman didn't deserve to die and the family deserves answers and justice ⚖️
What in the hell is going on with this town?!?! That’s insane. How do they not contact the families immediately! Prayers for these families. Hope they have answers asap!
The fact that they said the man wasn’t a suspect and instead THEY SUSPECTED HER FAMILY THAT LITERALLY WASNT EVEN THERE. The Bridgeport police need to get a grip 😐😠😤🤢
I understand why people are frustrated at the lack of media coverage, but Kendall doesn’t just throw a video together for the sake of getting views. She really cares about the cases she’s covering and makes sure to do her due diligence. The purpose of her videos is to spread accurate information and advocate for victims and their families. Let’s appreciate the hard work she puts into each one and thank her for using her platform to help others. 💜
I don't think their frustrated with Kendall. I think their frustrated with poc not getting enough media coverage. Especially with mainstream media when Gabby Petito was missing everyone was covering it. It's all mainstream media and online media where covering. People are frustrated because EVERYONE no matter what they look like deserves the same energy. All cases should be taken seriously. All cases deserve fair coverage.
I googled this story. It has huge media coverage. Ctv (Canadian), Rolling stones, daily mail, cnn, BET. To name a few.. I hope people who were rude to Kendall apologize.
I believe that Lauren was drugged by “Michael” and it lead to an overdose, wether that was an accidental overdose or not. I don’t think she would’ve taken any drug especially being health conscious and everything. This case doesn’t sit right with me, and the police absolutely butchered this case (like they seem to almost always do). I hope her family is doing as well as they can, it is terrible losing family I couldn’t imagine losing your daughter/sister at such a young age. She was absolutely stunning! I hope she gets the justice she deserves❤️
I agree! I think he drugged her and SA’d her while she was ‘unconscious’ assuming she’d wake up, but then she never did. That would explain the condom imo. But I don’t understand him staying the whole night?
I’ve submitted a few times for Patty Adkins who went missing over 20 years ago from our very small town of Marysville Ohio. Her killer hasn’t been charged or anything. He lives a free life and always has, yet everyone pretty much knows what happened. Her body was never found, and that is the hardest hurdle of the case I think. I wish you would look at this case, there’s so much info on it! This case reminded me of that one, just because of the evidence being there to look into someone yet they run free anyway🤷🏼♀️ So mind blowing. I pray for Lauren, Brenda and patty that they all get justice 💕 and the So many cases just like this we don’t even know about 🙏🏽 it’s heartbreaking. Your doing great work Kendall.
I’m sorry, but you JUST met this girl, she falls asleep and you just invite yourself to stay the night and sleep in her bed with her?!?! WTF?! What kind of ‘man’ does that??? If my husband had come over for a first date (or even second or third) and I fell asleep on the couch, he would have carried me to my bed, tucked me in, locked up my house, and gone home to his house! That is so inappropriate and sketchy!!!
Girl I don't know why I watch your stories, they make me SOOO mad!!! Not at you, but at the lack of empathy, the lack of detective work, and carelessness these so called detectives/officers give to black victims!!! Like WTF!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for covering these stories!
It's not *just* black cases. It happens to Native Americans and Hispanics. I'm sure other minority groups as well but I'm completely familiar with the two I listed.
I have a daughter her age, I could not imagine the treatment Lauren's family suffered by these police. Absolutely DISGUSTING!!! They give all cops a bad name. It's such a shame all the way around.
I so deeply appreciate the voices you give victims. Especially victims of color who's cases get swept under the rug and not prioritized. You are such a light in the dark world. ♥
This story fills me with absolute rage. I can’t even imagine what her family is going through. No parent deserves to find out their child died that way. These stories are so tragic. Hopefully they will get more coverage and justice soon.
hey I think its good idea to put the victims who don't have much info out there in the same video to raise awareness like this, thank you so much for doing your part Kendall
As a former addict, you don't get up in the middle of the night to do copious amounts of several drugs, to turn around and go to sleep. Nor do you take that amount in the middle of the night for any other reason. Some of the drugs found in her system aren't mainstream drugs. This whole case was botched and my heart goes out to her family.
Exactly. I never did opioids but I had friends addicted to them and they wouldn’t even drink when they took them because they didn’t want to mess up their “high” or fall asleep. Smdh.
Hello I would like to add to your comment that one of the drugs which is hydroxyzine which is a anti-itching medication and a anxiety and insomnia training medication was found in her system and you are absolutely right that is not main stream you have to get that from a doctor you have to have a whole prescription for that shit. It’s absolutely bullshit that she died the way she did!!!
@Porter93 overdose on antihistamines and fentanyl. If she took something laced on her own then she would’ve had other illegal substances in her system. Nobody snorts fentanyl unless it’s laced in another drg. You DO realize a minuscule amount even touching your skin can cause convulsions and death right? Or do you just make uneducated opinions all the time about things that don’t concern you?
It angers me how the police handled the deaths. My biological father passed away in California & I’ve never met him in my life. I live in Colorado with my married name & Jefferson County police department found me to tell me he had passed. The officer even consoled me at my front door while I cried. I was in another state. DO BETTER BRIDGEPORT.
I’m from Connecticut and almost the same thing happened to me with my dad 2 years ago. It took over a week for me to find out that he had passed, and I was the one who had to contact the police. They knew he had family, they just didn’t bother to get ahold of us. While these families have been treated so much worse, I can sympathize a little when it comes to that. It disgusts me how someone can easily disregard human life and their families like that.
Can you please do a story on one of my closest and dearest friend’s Aesha Muhammad who has been missing from Philadelphia, PA since November 30, 2000. Aesha Muhammed was a 23-year old loving, doting young mother. Aesha came from a close-knit family, with who she was in continuous contact. She was working at a salon and attending Venus Beauty Academy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her 2-year old son, Amaru, was the love of her life. Aesha lived in a boarding house run by her father's half-brother, then 57-year old Charles Dockins. Aesha and Charles didn't get along and often argued. On November 30, 2000, Aesha packed her things to move out and called her brother, Soloman. Aesha said she wanted someone to pick them up because she had been arguing with Charles. Both her and her 2 year old son went missing. Her son was found several weeks later at a church in Orange, NJ, but Aesha has never been found. Can you bring awareness to her story? She was an incredible friend and mother.
The incompetency that is the Bridgeport Police Dept is absolutely despicable and disgusting. I hope both families win their cases, as well as get the answers and the justice each deserve.
It makes you wonder how many other families are going through situations like this and nobody knows. So unbelievably sad. Justice for both these beautiful women!
I lived in CT for 2 years.. when asking where to move in the area I was told to avoid Bridgeport if at all possible. But I had no idea it was this bad.. I hope they find the justice they deserve

One thing I have to say is if they found $1,200 cash in Lauren's belongings, there is no way she asked a man that she just met for $40 to do her nails. Everything about his story is suspect
This really depends on what kind of person we’re talking about. I’m not assuming this about Lauren but I know people in my own family who (when dating) are looking to see if a man will spend money on them or not. Even if they have money already.
@@vee_grave Mrs. Graves, look at that woman. In almost every picture her nails were done. BEFORE THIS PHYSCO. i truly believe this case is just smothered in foul play and these people know. I dont know how someone being a nice man could dismiss any of this. She had 3 drugs in her system including alcohol. No matter if he says she was in the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. How coould you ingest that many drugs in that amount of time. to return to a movie so calm. its just mind boggling. so many inconsistencies in this mans story and such a beautfiul life lost.

@@delvinlino869 I totally agree with you on everything you are saying.

It's not very often that you find that people give our stories good or bad a lot of light. So not only are you really good at what you're doing but you are making an impact. Sending hugs.

I’m only 12.5 minutes in and I’m shaking because I’m so angry.. I can’t imagine being her family through all of this. I’m so glad you are bringing more attention to this case. It needs all the attention! No victim’s family ever should have to go through this.

Me too! 11.5 minutes in and this is when I went to the comments cause it’s so frustrating
I cannot believe how disgustingly this case was handled. Shame on the detectives and Bridgeport police department.
This is pretty common when the victim is black. If you watch Kendall’s videos where the missing/murdered person is black I’m most of them she stated the family had to do their own investigation. It’s just how it is 🤷🏽♀️

If I hadn’t seen his picture I would have thought he was a suspect pretending to be a police officer. Wtf
"Very nice guy" is code for: He has powerful connections within law enforcement or the judicial system and possibly has something to hide in his history that is similar to this case. The police only go out of their way to protect their own and they've gone over and beyond out of their way to protect this man. Their negligence is blatantly criminal and needs to be assessed as such. This is also discrimination and there is no attempt to hide that they were tampering with and withholding vital evidence needed to proceed with a thorough investigation. I hope the family is successful with their lawsuit but I would've personally went for more money just for the simple fact that they are intentionally negligent.
Yes! "Nice Guy" to me says "police or related to law enforcement/judge/council person or mayor" someone in power decided to shield them
Not suprised especially in Bridgeport. Crooked AF.
Exactly what I was thinking. Oh he knows someone with power
YEP, scary stuff. Sending Love!

Bridgeport’s mayor is a convicted felon for things he did while in office and he’s STILL in office after serving in prison. I’m not surprised the police are this corrupt as well. I live right outside of Bridgeport and it’s so sad to hear about these cases. I really hope these women get justice.

He should go to jail.
You are one of the only “true crime” TH-camrs I respect. You don’t sensationalize, you don’t attempt to be funny, you always highlight the lives and humanity of the victims, you focus on the cases that genuinely deserve to be heard, not just the ones that will get you the most views or likes. It’s so refreshing to see work like yours on TH-cam when so many people attempt to make true crime into a gimmick or cash grab in a way that completely disrespects the life of the victim. I know this kind of work can be difficult and emotionally exhausting but I appreciate the work you do so much. Take care of yourself and remember how much support you have

It reminds of the case of that Black man who was pulled over, shot, and killed while being observed from police in helicopter. He was walking backwards towards the officers on the scene and the police in the helicopter said “He looks like a bad dude” …. Like how can you tell that from a helicopter? They sure love coming to conclusions based on appearances rather than actually investigating properly and justly.
right? Ted Bundy was a nice guy, Chris Watts was a nice guy and so many other men who end up as murderers.
So was Ted Bundy, people said John Wayne Gacy was a friendly guy and a pillar of the community. Like. The pure neglect, sounds like "Michael" has some sort of connection or relation to the police department or someone high up.
@Porter93 dude what? If anything the guy probably slipped her something. And even if it was an accident or her brother gave her something that guy should’ve still been questioned.
@Blue Plumbob Idk if you know since you said wanted but they found his body and he wrote down he killed Gabby. Just in case you didn’t hear I’m not trying to be a smart ass or anything.
Many years ago I was present when an accidental death occured. I actually performed CPR on him. It was during a party and he legitimately accidentally overdosed. I was the one who called the emergency responders. Even though I didn't know the guy and certainly wasn't there with him, I felt so bad for his family, I not only called them to tell them all I knew about his final moments on earth, but I also attended his funeral. It's what I'd want if the shoe was on the other foot. Something's sketch.

These two cases still haunt me to this day. The fact that there are still no answers in 2023 speaks volumes.
The fact the cops did not notify the parents about Lauren being found dead is absolutely DISGUSTING. And then to be told when they do call the detective to not worry about the man that found their daughter dead because he’s a “nice guy” is just absolutely mind boggling. The way the detective and cops handled her case is absolutely horrific. Just honestly so messed up and someone should be held responsible for the neglect this family has gone through trying to find out what happened to their poor daughter.
Ed Kemper and Ted Bundy were also thought of as 'nice guys.'
1.Wonder if the "nice guy" was related to the investigator the messed this case up?
2. The investigators could have accessed her phone to get the information necessary for contacting a family member.
3. I am a little curious as to weather the brother did, infact, bring over some type of drug that she used in the bathroom. Also, what was the pill that was left on her counter?

This goes beyond cops not prioritizing a case - I’ve literally never heard of police not notifying the next of kin. I’ve never heard of there not being an investigation for a death outside of a medical setting. I’ve never heard of police not wanting to speak to the family in person.
This police department needs to be investigated heavily. The misconduct here is just insane. I don’t care about funding you still follow the protocol.
Right. Including that damn mayor… he said nothing until the public started making noise
yup and those officers should be let go
Even if it was an OD from drugs she took willingly… someone else was there ! They 100% need to treat it as suspicious and rule out foul play completely. This is why fighting the stigma on drug use and addiction is so important. You don’t stop being a human being when you willingly ingest a substance.
And who TF's condom does that belong to? DNA demands answers
"You don't stop being a human being when you willingly ingest a substance. " is the best quote on that subject....so true, yet many people want to judge and not care about what happens to the person, just because of their drug addiction. We are still people who love, and are loved by someone ❤ thank you for saying that.
Outstanding comment. Thankyou🙏❤
Thank you!! I'm in recovery myself and the stigmas alone are enough to understand why so many caught up in active addiction struggle with staying clean. it's very difficult to exist in a world that doesn't even see you as worthy of existing. It's not a moral failing it's called self-medicating trauma and/or untreated mental illness. Please be kind, you never know what someone else has gone through. Choose compassion!
Exactly! Its sounds like she might have ingested something thinking it was one thing and it was tainted. Happens ALOT. And some of the hardest working, highest achieving people i know experiment from time to time. Work hard, play hard. BUT, it was such gross negligence on the parr of the cops to assume that. She could have been given a date rape drug or something.
This has got to be the worst case of injustice I've ever seen. I cannot even begin to imagine what this family went through. Every law enforcement officer involved should be fired , and charged with gross negligence or corruption!. I am truly speechless. My heart goes out to her family.
“He’s a nice guy” sounds a lot like “he has connections with our police department”
Oh yeah it fucking does *rolls eyes* Jesus Christ
I've just emailed the Bridgeport police, respectfully urging them to apply more resources to properly investigate the circumstances of both women's deaths, for the sake of the families and also the community and wider society. We just CAN'T let any unusual, suspicious death go uninvestigated, doesn't matter who it was or their level of wealth or power or their race or gender or whatever, every one is important that it's properly investigated. Otherwise it undermines the value that society puts on one person's life. It would be so dangerous to allow that to be undermined.
That’s awesome Amy!
Well said 👍
That's great! I really appreciate seeing people take initiative like this to change the way that things are.
Its sad but awesome that there so many people out here ready to do investigating and pushing to get answers but the people that hold these positions with all the resources just dont seem to care… unless tables are turned and its their family. Thank you Amy 🙌🏼

I’m not an expert, but I find it VERY weird that when “Michael” called 911, it was a cop that came first, not an EMT. It really makes it sound like a cover-up to me.
Yep,probably works in law enforcement or for the city or state or one of Mike relatives
Right first is the fire department, the police and than the EMT that's the order generally.
When I found my BF dead, the police arrived before the EMT's. Sometimes it happens. That being said, there's WAY too much about these cases that is suspicious.
And what if police car was closer? Should they wait becasue it's not a general order ?🤔🤔🤔🤔
it's not weird.. it depends on which department happens to be closer.. I've beat fire & EMS plenty of times on death investigations.. & if that person can be resuscitated, police will initiate CPR until medical arrives
If these women were white and the men they were with at TOD were black it would have gone a whole different direction! I sincerely hope both of these families win their claims against the pd and more than that I hope they get answers and justice for Brenda & Lauren ♥️

These two cases are extremely suspicious and yet the police aren't doing anything to find answers for the families and justice for the victims which is appalling. They deserve just as much energy put into their cases as they would a white woman (person). Hope that clears things up for you?
You should know that not all cases of a white woman being abused or murdered are looked into. You should also know that the cops aren't God and they have limited resources, esp when people want to DEFUND THE POLICE and all such nonsense. Do you know the sheer amount of crime that is committed on a daily basis that doesn't even hit the news? Nope.
my brother was killed and i can’t imagine his case being handled like this. i wouldn’t know what to do. i’m praying they’re able to get answers. RIP to her beautiful soul
So so sorry for your loss. May your brother Rest In Peace 💜
I’m Sorry
His soul you mean?
Im sorry for your loss. May your brother Rest In Peace
Sorry for your loss
Being a Black Woman I can appreciate the coverage and you using your platform. We do not get much coverage or justice in our cases. I pray for change. Being the mother of 2 black girls stuff like this really scares me.
As an ally how can I help. We need to start a movement and go to congress and hold police accountable in cases of black women
@@SunshinePearlz238 thank you for not saying some dumb crap like "rAcE dOeSnT mAtTeR". Thank you really.
@@SunshinePearlz238 how do you expect to hold police accountable when black women OD or die or heart disease?
@@royharper2003 Upper middle class whites OD and die of heart disease all the time. How the police respond is what matters, and if you think it's the same for everyone, you;re naive at best.
It’s disgusting to me that families of victims get treated this way. There’s NO excuse for how the victims and families were disrespected over and over
People shouldn’t be coming at you aggressively if they want you to cover, you’re literally one person having to do so much research and you won’t know every case, there’s way too many uncovered stories out there. Thanks for the work that you do!
@myluv4julz....I adore Kendall Rae....I'm a person of color...but I view many cases she covers as she has passion and she is natural in her delivery of these cases..I agree with you...that nobody should be giving her any agression...Sheesh!..if that's the case we should have been cancelled our local newscasters..lol....I don't even mind when she slips out a "potty mouth" word or two...lol😍
This is insane. I went to high school with Lauren and her aura and energy was unmatched. This has hit my hometown very hard and I’m so incredibly happy you are covering her case and bringing awareness!
What do you mean by unmatched ?
@@fashionistax9919 i would presume that means they haven't met anyone else like lauren - it's a commonly used word, especially when describing personality.
Aura and energy?....FFS, you mean she was a nice person?
@@leilanyx ohhh okay now I understand, thanks!
@@res1492 you obviously don’t like kendall or her audience, you should save yourself the hatred and anger and just leave. you’re such a fuck!ng a$sh0le
"I'm just a girl with google" and THAT's why I love you! Keep doing what you do, not only for your viewers, but the victims and families as well!
I am in shock in 2021-22 we are still having police departments treat cases like this. ITS DISGUSTING. This video introduced me to Brenda’s case, I’m so thankful bc damn ppl need to know! Also misinformation is dangerous and disrespectful, I appreciate Kendall for waiting for solid facts and more information 🙏🏽
How tf does PD just not notify family/parents as soon as you said that I knew this investigation is botched shame on Bridgeport PD, hope the family gets the answers they deserve
The cases you cover are always sad, but this video is particularly gut wrenching. I can’t wrap my head around the lack of even the most minute levels of human decency.
I'm only sixteen minutes in, but Lauren's case is already very odd to me. Her family wasn't notified of her death until over a day after it happened, the policeman on the case literally told her loved ones, who were in shock and desperate for answers, to stop calling him. Then this random guy she's just met for a very casual date carries her to bed and sleeps in there with her?! I get that some people don't have strong boundaries, but honestly, if my date falls asleep on the couch of their apartment, I'd have just got up and gone home instead of sleeping in a stranger's bed. Then there's a used condom in her room, but he claims they didn't have sex? Not investigating the last person to be with her prior to her death because he was a "nice guy" is just horrible. Anybody can be "nice" when they have to save themselves from suspicion. The plate of food on the living room floor strikes me as weird, too.
This dating app guy probably has some connections to the police. That’s often the case when family is dismissed, possible evidence is ignored (or “lost”), etc.
They did the same thing to Keith Warren's family too in 1986. They didn't even perform an autopsy and rushed to embalm his body like the same day. Everything they did was sketchy. Breaks my heart for his family. They are still fighting for justice for him.
@@detoxanni This is an quote from Dexter but still remains true. It's either who you know or who you blow when it comes to cases like this.
Yeah I thought the same exact thing like since it was there first time meeting, I don't understand why he would take her to bed then get in the bed with her. Any normal person would of left her on the couch and left. And the used condom is weird because who else would it belong to?
And they probably never would've been had her family not gone to her house
This stories are so frustrating and seeing how corrupt everything is, just makes me mad. Those poor families can't have any respect and answers especially after such traumatic events.
I think Michael is a really nice guy. We shouldn’t be angry at him.
@@Donny_Double_Dip stupid idiot . we see whos side you're on.
The attorney general of the state needs to do something about this. Disgusting inhumane behavior. Thanks for covering these ladies cases.
This is wild. Two women die in mysterious circumstances and their families aren’t even told? That is WILD. I truly hope both families find answers for their loved ones and my heart goes out to everyone who cared about these women. This is so disappointing.
Too many people arguing in the comments about whether or not Lauren did drugs or asked for money, but the root issue is the police's mishandling of this. No matter what your theory, every victim deserves the same protocol when investigating their death and the police dropped the ball every single time in this case.
Exactly
A human life is a human life. Period. End of story! I could agree with you more!
@@justdawnrebornYes!!
And if she did ask for me to get her nails done...annnnd! Like, she had a dude who like her cash out a lil 40 dollars for some nails. Big whoop. Annnnd, iono maybe its cuz im in cali but 40 dollars maaaay get u a basic french manicure. Not even gel lol. Soooo i really wonder if he even gave her thar
“He’s a nice guy” , such obvious bias from the Bridgeport police department. These cases are so upsetting, not only should the two men seen with Lauren and Brenda be investigated, but the whole department should be as well. There is such obvious foul play happening here. I hope these families are able to get justice for Laura and Brenda. ):
It’s so obvious. And sickening that people still don’t understand public disdain and distrust for police departments! So many times they don’t do what they are supposed to do.
Is he a cop or something?
I feel like it's obvious that this was racially motivated
Unfortunately this is how 99% of the case are handled when it come to black women and people in general...sad but true. Thanks for bringing awareness...I had never even heard of these cases. My condolences to the families of these two beautiful women...may they rest in peace.
No, that is a false statistic, the police work tirelessly to solves as many cases as they can while people turn against them and want to defund them. They should do their jobs but people also need to check up on their loved ones and be involved in their lives.
@@j.rebekah860599% is high but the sentiment is correct. Bipoc victims don’t get as much resources and are often categorized as runaways, prostitutes, or drug users. Let’s not lean on political rhetoric to obscure facts.
Sounds like a whole police dept that needs fired. Hearing that someone found out their child died from a land lord and the police haven't done a single thing to help them makes me so so sick.
Also you know how many people get arrested for murder and the neighbors all say how nice they are? Makes me so sick
literally lol, people are always surprised to find out my parents are divorced/divorcing and that i was violently abused by my father because it "seemed" like we had the perfect family, like they had the perfect marriage, etc. people can be manipulative and can appear a certain way in public but act completely different in private.
My best friend was found dead in her apt in 2010 and the police asked the landlord to call her mom in another state and let her know. They also said she committed suicide even though a ton of evidence showed otherwise and the neighbor saw someone go in/out of her apt. No one cares
Yepppp! Literally almost every time “I would have never guessed he seemed like such a family man!” Type of comments. Also, yes, many police departments need to be complete gutted & started over with new people!
@@trudieharvey9423 Very sad and just no where near good enough. I feel for you, her family and everyone that loved her. "Suicide" is often too easy to give justification for situations that NEED more investigation and just don't make sense. Thank you for sharing. 💗. An angel in Heaven.
What I struggle with is how can we trust the validity and legitimacy of the investigation after they’ve proven themselves so negligent and untrustworthy?
THIS!!!
No, honestly.
Seriously right! I'm worried what's next with the BS?
The evidence...ohhh yeah, it was lost!?? I hope not..smh
And how do we trust the internal investigation? No, we need an unbiased 3rd party to do that.
Very good point
This is awful. How are the police not calling her family immediately? I don’t care how nice he is, he should have been in the station being interrogated from the start.
that police dept. is for sure corrupt
If you lived at an apartment and your phone was locked with your parents number in it. How would they immediately call your parents. I'm curious because I don't know how someone does that.
@@jeteaze I know most apartments will have an emergency contact number, her mom was probably most likely her emergency contact.
@@jeteaze it's like you're being willfully ignorant in your comments. the police know how to get ahold of a deceased victims' family. only if she was a jane doe, would they not know how.
@@autumnh5027 what if the family members don’t have correct phone numbers on file?
I’d be asking If this man “ Michael” is related to an officer, congressman, judge or whomever they’re protecting. Because there’s a reason they’re protecting him.
In Lauren's case, she was young, as far as we know healthy and the last person she was with when she passed was a man she didn't know that well. That should have been treated as immediately suspicious until proven otherwise. No excuses. Hopefully both cases will get resolution soon.
No excuses!
The fact that the LANDLORD told her family about her death and not, idk, the police or some qualified counselor is BEYOND ME!
honestly, it seems the landlord was aware of the fact the police probably wouldn't contact lauren's family or friends - it's telling the landlord had to put a notice on the door for whoever wanted to see lauren to contact them for information.
it's ridiculous!
Based on the way Lauren’s mom described how she likes to get her nails done $40 would not be enough
exactly like acrylics are usually $100+
Plus they found over $1,000 at her home, so why would see has a (1st) date for $40 to get her nails done. Several things "Michael" said is very suspicious!!
Plus she had $1300 in cash in her apartment.
@traybern Hmmmm, now that is a theory that makes sense.
@T Raybern 🤔...
This is heartbreaking and the mishandling of both cases is unacceptable & disgusting! Bridgeport police, come ON; DO BETTER!!!
Justice is NEEDED for Lauren and Brenda. This is devastating
They were drinking? Why didn't the police check the glasses? If they were already clean, it wasn't by Lauren, and that is telling. Did the family find the dirty glasses? Were they sent to crime lab? I am stunned by this incompetence, and the lack of communication by the Bridgeport police department.
Thank God they are getting blasted. They deserve every bit of it.
Honestly the PD are hella sketchy, they will never admit that their department is flawed. They must have some information and not releasing and/or they really just threw everything away that could indicate that one of their own is a horrible human being. So horrible.
My husband is a homicide detective and literally last night was able to find the wife of a deceased man in Egypt and put in an international phone call to her to notify her of her husband’s death. There’s absolutely no way that they couldn’t find next of kin to notify, in fact it’s required to do so or at least make every possible attempt. Also, going to the scenes of these deaths, the detectives should have had forensics come out to take evidence and a mandatory autopsy would have been ordered through the medical examiner’s office because these deaths were of unknown origin when the bodies were found. Basically, at least in my husband’s department, you investigate every death fully and take all evidence found at the scene and question everyone you can possibly think of until you have confirmation of what happened and can rule it accidental, or medical, or a suicide or whatever it may be. This is absolutely abhorrent of this police department and these detectives should absolutely be fired and a full investigation into the department itself should be done. My heart breaks for these families and I really hope that they get the justice they deserve
Thank you for this summary! Other commenters are saying this was bad police work, but this was not even police work. This feels like the police were trying to ignore a death, for some bizarre reason, hoping it would go away. The police also aren’t known for stating that random men at the scene of unnatural deaths are “nice guys.” This all goes way beyond incompetence and into some weird conspiracy/cover-up scenario.
Thank you for sharing
That part shocked me!!! Her cell phone anything she was active online. I cannot believe the landlord had to deliver the news. 🥺
Thank you so much for covering these beautiful women.
Examination of Lauren's hair and/or nails should be able to clarify if she was a habitual drug user or not (I"m betting she absolutely wasn't, at least not fentanyl and most likely the other drugs -excepting normal alcohol use). If there's no evidence of prior use of those drugs than that very much points to foul play, in my opinion.
Her brother was convicted felon for being a drug dealer. The fact that he dropped something off at her house before she was found with bunch of drugs in her system says it all. After her brother dropped something off, she went to the bathroom. Drug users usually go to the bathroom to do the pills. It really sounds like her brother gave her a bad batch of pills that had a large amount of fentalyl and that killed her, hence the toxiolgoly report showing OD.
@@ItsDarkRightNow highly doubtful, I watched another youtuber cover her case & apparently hey brother was dropping off some clothes she washed and never picked up. it seems more likely he drugged her when she left out the apartment.
@@ItsDarkRightNow unfortunately, I believe this is absolutely a plausible scenario. This case needs to be investigated thoroughly so that her family receives the answers necessary to properly grieve and hopefully ultimately find peace as they process.
@@ItsDarkRightNow where did you find the info on her brother??
@@ItsDarkRightNow why give her those types of drugs when he knows that she doesn’t do drugs to begin with
Kendall, I’m sorry you received those angry messages. I know some people are frustrated but that anger should not have been towards you AT ALL. Thank you for giving an explanation(when you didn’t have to) and thank you for still covering the case! Love 💗
Exactly. She can cover what the hell she wants. She owes nothing to no one. Bless her for caring as much as she does.
I know right. She is trying so hard. It feels like these people think she has the responsibility to the people. It pisses me off just to hear that.
These policemen are ridiculous. So upsetting to know that these “policemen” are still treating this family differently.
I’m praying they find justice for her beautiful soul
WTF? Why don’t they notify families in cases of sudden deaths? What gives? That’s gross negligence!
I don't think I've ever heard Kendall this pissed about a case. I just can't believe her family wasn't contacted. The detective hung up on them! The way her family was treated is fucking absurd!
It's insane. I'm not usually a "lawsuit" person, but this family has every right to file multiple suits against the police, and whomever else deserves it! Like Kendall said, WHAT THE F♤CK!
Totally agree.
I completely agree!! Like wtf 🤬
I hope there is justice for both Lauren and Brenda. This case is so unbelievably upsetting and infuriating. thank you Kendall for covering this case.
This case is the most infuriating and disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.
Two deaths on the same day, in the same town and neither properly investigated?!?! Neither young lady’s families notified?! Prayers for the families to have continued strength to pursue and get the answers so badly needed.
Both Black. Coincidence thinKnot.
Hi Kendall. Thank you for all of your work. I enjoy your videos. Have you seen any new updates on these two cases??
This is absolutely sickening. That detective is beyond heartless, he’s just awful! I really wish Lauren’s family can get the justice they and Lauren deserve. In 2022 how on earth does the police get away with this horrendous treatment of a family and their grief 😢

@@royharper2003 did you watch the video bc she was on a date with a white man that day that awoke to her being deceased
@@moeee429 I know but I'm responding to the comment about what if it was a white woman and black man.
@@royharper2003 if that was the case then it would probably be taken much more seriously and they most likely would have detained the man as a suspect, they probably would have done due diligence and also let her family know if her passing. even if it was a white woman and a white man it probably would have been the same case bc look what happened recently with gabby petito. even searching for her body they found several other dead people of color that weren’t even being looked for.
They are treating the bumble date better than the victims family... Ass backwards. GET IT TOGETHER. This woman didn't deserve to die and the family deserves answers and justice ⚖️
What in the hell is going on with this town?!?! That’s insane. How do they not contact the families immediately! Prayers for these families. Hope they have answers asap!
The fact that they said the man wasn’t a suspect and instead THEY SUSPECTED HER FAMILY THAT LITERALLY WASNT EVEN THERE. The Bridgeport police need to get a grip 😐😠😤🤢
I understand why people are frustrated at the lack of media coverage, but Kendall doesn’t just throw a video together for the sake of getting views. She really cares about the cases she’s covering and makes sure to do her due diligence. The purpose of her videos is to spread accurate information and advocate for victims and their families. Let’s appreciate the hard work she puts into each one and thank her for using her platform to help others. 💜
I don't think their frustrated with Kendall. I think their frustrated with poc not getting enough media coverage. Especially with mainstream media when Gabby Petito was missing everyone was covering it. It's all mainstream media and online media where covering. People are frustrated because EVERYONE no matter what they look like deserves the same energy. All cases should be taken seriously. All cases deserve fair coverage.

@@Steph-412 YES , YOU CAN JUST TELL , THAT SHE DOES CARE.
I googled this story. It has huge media coverage. Ctv (Canadian), Rolling stones, daily mail, cnn, BET. To name a few..
I hope people who were rude to Kendall apologize.
accurate information? What a joke, she left out many pertinent details and didn't support many of her claims with documentation.
I believe that Lauren was drugged by “Michael” and it lead to an overdose, wether that was an accidental overdose or not. I don’t think she would’ve taken any drug especially being health conscious and everything. This case doesn’t sit right with me, and the police absolutely butchered this case (like they seem to almost always do). I hope her family is doing as well as they can, it is terrible losing family I couldn’t imagine losing your daughter/sister at such a young age. She was absolutely stunning! I hope she gets the justice she deserves❤️
People are into health and fitness then will do a line of coke and a shot of whiskey lol
It was also confirmed her brother dropped something off. By the brother himself. He said it was laundry. But it’s not adding up.
@@BryanHeartBreaker he said he was PICKING UP laundry
@@thevannabanana26 right and you believe that? What’s he gonna say. He was delivering narcotics? Lmao
I agree! I think he drugged her and SA’d her while she was ‘unconscious’ assuming she’d wake up, but then she never did. That would explain the condom imo. But I don’t understand him staying the whole night?
I'm amazed that you cover black cases also and I really appreciate it! Thank you so much!
I’ve submitted a few times for Patty Adkins who went missing over 20 years ago from our very small town of Marysville Ohio. Her killer hasn’t been charged or anything. He lives a free life and always has, yet everyone pretty much knows what happened. Her body was never found, and that is the hardest hurdle of the case I think. I wish you would look at this case, there’s so much info on it! This case reminded me of that one, just because of the evidence being there to look into someone yet they run free anyway🤷🏼♀️ So mind blowing. I pray for Lauren, Brenda and patty that they all get justice 💕 and the So many cases just like this we don’t even know about 🙏🏽 it’s heartbreaking. Your doing great work Kendall.

I’m sorry, but you JUST met this girl, she falls asleep and you just invite yourself to stay the night and sleep in her bed with her?!?! WTF?! What kind of ‘man’ does that??? If my husband had come over for a first date (or even second or third) and I fell asleep on the couch, he would have carried me to my bed, tucked me in, locked up my house, and gone home to his house! That is so inappropriate and sketchy!!!
Absolutely!!
I get that point 100% however they had been doing tequila shots so he may have been very drunk. He should have however slept on the couch or floor.
EXACTLY!!! she fell asleep and instead of going home you STAY IN HER BED
not even 11 minutes in and i’m already SHOCKED. “stop calling me.” are you serious? praying that this beautiful girl gets the justice she deserves.

@@your1supporter It happens to Asian and White victims too. It’s almost as if the police are human beings and therefore imperfect. 🤔
I have a daughter her age, I could not imagine the treatment Lauren's family suffered by these police. Absolutely DISGUSTING!!! They give all cops a bad name. It's such a shame all the way around.
I so deeply appreciate the voices you give victims. Especially victims of color who's cases get swept under the rug and not prioritized. You are such a light in the dark world. ♥
As someone from CT I'm very disappointed with how this case is being handled
This story fills me with absolute rage. I can’t even imagine what her family is going through. No parent deserves to find out their child died that way. These stories are so tragic. Hopefully they will get more coverage and justice soon.
hey I think its good idea to put the victims who don't have much info out there in the same video to raise awareness like this, thank you so much for doing your part Kendall
it’s very suspicious. if they found over $1,000 in cash, why would she ask for $40 to get her nails done?
Right
That was my first thought too when Kendall said they found that much money in her apartment!!
Yes that was my very first thought as well!!
And nails with designs cost more than 40, I think he was lying throwing out a random amount fr
Yeah no fuckin way. Since when do nails cost $40? No chance in hell
Bless you! Fighting for these beautiful ladies lives!
As a former addict, you don't get up in the middle of the night to do copious amounts of several drugs, to turn around and go to sleep. Nor do you take that amount in the middle of the night for any other reason. Some of the drugs found in her system aren't mainstream drugs. This whole case was botched and my heart goes out to her family.
Exactly. I never did opioids but I had friends addicted to them and they wouldn’t even drink when they took them because they didn’t want to mess up their “high” or fall asleep. Smdh.
Except she didn't get up in the middle of the night to do drugs though did she!
@Porter93 or the " nice guy" slipped her the drugs
Hello I would like to add to your comment that one of the drugs which is hydroxyzine which is a anti-itching medication and a anxiety and insomnia training medication was found in her system and you are absolutely right that is not main stream you have to get that from a doctor you have to have a whole prescription for that shit. It’s absolutely bullshit that she died the way she did!!!
@Porter93 overdose on antihistamines and fentanyl. If she took something laced on her own then she would’ve had other illegal substances in her system. Nobody snorts fentanyl unless it’s laced in another drg. You DO realize a minuscule amount even touching your skin can cause convulsions and death right? Or do you just make uneducated opinions all the time about things that don’t concern you?
It angers me how the police handled the deaths. My biological father passed away in California & I’ve never met him in my life. I live in Colorado with my married name & Jefferson County police department found me to tell me he had passed. The officer even consoled me at my front door while I cried. I was in another state. DO BETTER BRIDGEPORT.
I’m from Connecticut and almost the same thing happened to me with my dad 2 years ago. It took over a week for me to find out that he had passed, and I was the one who had to contact the police. They knew he had family, they just didn’t bother to get ahold of us. While these families have been treated so much worse, I can sympathize a little when it comes to that. It disgusts me how someone can easily disregard human life and their families like that.
God that is just awful
Can you please do a story on one of my closest and dearest friend’s Aesha Muhammad who has been missing from Philadelphia, PA since November 30, 2000.
Aesha Muhammed was a 23-year old loving, doting young mother. Aesha came from a close-knit family, with who she was in continuous contact.
She was working at a salon and attending Venus Beauty Academy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her 2-year old son, Amaru, was the love of her life.
Aesha lived in a boarding house run by her father's half-brother, then 57-year old Charles Dockins. Aesha and Charles didn't get along and often argued.
On November 30, 2000, Aesha packed her things to move out and called her brother, Soloman. Aesha said she wanted someone to pick them up because she had been arguing with Charles.
Both her and her 2 year old son went missing. Her son was found several weeks later at a church in Orange, NJ, but Aesha has never been found.
Can you bring awareness to her story?
She was an incredible friend and mother.
The incompetency that is the Bridgeport Police Dept is absolutely despicable and disgusting. I hope both families win their cases, as well as get the answers and the justice each deserve.
It makes you wonder how many other families are going through situations like this and nobody knows. So unbelievably sad. Justice for both these beautiful women!
I lived in CT for 2 years.. when asking where to move in the area I was told to avoid Bridgeport if at all possible. But I had no idea it was this bad.. I hope they find the justice they deserve
I love your videos, I’ve researched and known most cases you’ve gone over on your channel but you still give the affect of watching a literal movie, you reveal the right details at the perfect time and you’re great about building up to the climax. Your content is really enjoyable!
