“He told me he was married but separated.” First red flag. If anyone tells you this, tell them “Hit me up when the divorce is finalized.” I never trust that bs.
In general the smartest move would be to simply move on and get with someone who is single. People who are divorced have a wagon of issues from their previous marriage. But to each their own I guess.
Exactly. My parents were the same way and I grew up way to fast. It also severely effects your trust in people when even your own parents complain about their relationship and life to you.
@@Jadenmic sorry to hear you went through that. My niece's mother dogged my brother (niece's dad) and our family her whole growing up life. It was terrible! Her mom wouldn't allow her to call her dad, dad at her house. She could only refer to him by his first name. Ugh! But now she's 22 and guess who she's close to?!? Yup, us! She actually thanked us for not fighting back with her mom, cause in the end it would've just made things worse. Damn immature people!
Yea like when the mom saod she asked her if that meant she wasnt gonna bite her nails anymore.... A kid doesnt think that way unless the mom is telling her "see, you're biting your nails because you're so stresssed out"..... Seems like the mom was planting things in her head.
@@basicbecky6306 True, I realised this more in my teen and adult years because I was asking myself why do I bite my nails they are so ugly!!! And I came to the conclusion when I'm bored or stressed that's why. Maybe she asked her mom because kids bullied her about her nails. Although I was never bullied about it but who knows.
@@theboogeyman5736 naw. Your ex was likely a terrible liar. You just believed her because she's a female and you aren't able to see when they are manipulating you.
I thought the same things. Sketch looks SPOT ON like the mom. I think she hid the girl she showed no emotion, like at all. The dad's a POS, but I don't think he harmed her. I think it's the Mother.
Rachel Woodard Exactly. People on here apparently don’t have the common sense to understand that the sketch is from 2001. I’m pretty sure the mom looked different in 2001 than she does now.
He says "she wanted to go BACK to the mall" as if they were there already yet the investigator tells us no one at the mall could confirm they were inside the mall at all.
“Are we leaving daddy?!” .... If what this mother is saying is true, it’s horrible. A child should never be burdened with adult problems. Even if Bethany was horribly abused, it’s up to the adult in the situation to fix it.
I said the same to my Mom when she left my abusive Father while he was at work. It's common to want to leave your home life when your home life is dysfunctional.
@@jerinbrowder2468 And you know this how??? Because you are God! Do yourself a favour and stop pretending like you know! You're just making yourself look stupid!
Larry is despicable and knows deep down what he did. His only interview with crocodile tears, and he has never cooperated since? Not suspicious at all. Also the sketch also looked eerily like the mother too? My prayers for Bethany and her family.
John Carter - Im glad you said that because as soon as i saw that sketch i was floored. It’s possible Mom put her baby underground to keep her safe from what she thought was a very dangerous man and now will face serious consequences unless she remains hidden. My guess is she looks much different and isn’t far from mom. At least i hope 🤞🏻
@@4brookeevelyn I know. Well said too. Fingers crossed she is still out there alive. I just think it was a coincidence but who am I to say, it did look a lot like the mother in the the sketch though. Just a strange case and so sad. Thanks and have a good one.
Sometimes the only way to save your child or yourself from these abusive situations is to eliminate the problem. Literally. Bethany's mother and Bethany should've been protected by law enforcement, but they never do...then it's too late. These cases are heartwrenching. Bethany if you're out there I hope you and your mother reunite. 😔 Heartbreaking.
it didn't seem to get her. the mother looks like the woman in the sketch, and the way she spoke about her ex husband sounded like the definition of parental alienation. I'm not convinced she didn't have something to do with this case.
@@matthewstevens2274 you could be right. As a mother I am naive and could never imagine a MOM hurting their child, but it would not be the first time. Nice catch on the sketch I'm going to go back and look at that!
I have never heard a mother say she is starting to forget what her child looked or smelled like. I was hear the opposite. Like, I still can smell her or I still can see her.
T's Tube of course u can forget I forget way my daughter look like as a new born if it wasn't for baby pic I wouldn't remember an I don't remember war she smell like at that age either
She does sound slow and calm like she getting ready to fall asleep not do an interview i thought maybe she took medication for her to relax or something GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE
@jiggly puff If she's not dead then she's likely been brainwashed and lost her mother at 11. And where has she secretly been kept all this time (must be a lonely place)?? Dead or not, I can see why someone would feel sorry for her.
@@abreegourdon1612 Yes, that's the absolute worst case scenario. I'd rather be dead than have been trafficked. I think far more people get trafficked than what most of us realize. :(
You say you can’t find court documents like that means something. I’m a survivor of an extremely bad abusive ex. We had a child and my life became so dependent on him. I did not go to the police out of fear for myself and my child as well as fear of trying to financially support a child. The only reason it ended up being known by the police and courts is because of how brutal it became in the end. Women in these situations do not usually call the police or file charges in court until the choice is taken from the women with pure brutality and we end up in the hospital a few times.
Hi everyone. So, I have a date later and the guy is like... Do you have a dress and heels. According to my PhD from watching Crime Watch Daily... that’s a sign of a sociopath and a killer. It’s safe to say that I am not going. I’ll not be a victim and FL is too dangerous smh... Naaah. I am not going to light up the room. Absolutely not. P.S. I’m addicted to this channel. My daily dose.
Amanda Causey right. He’s like hummm I’m coming from a business meeting, is it ok to be in business attire? Then before I reply, he asked me Do you have a nice dress and heels? I’m like, hell to the no... I didn’t even reply I just blocked his number.
This case is really off. Mom seems a bit (IDK) untruthful? deceitful? just off somehow. IDK if she's lying/exaggerating about her ex &/or about Bethany. The Dad shouldn't have let her go into the mall by herself (I'm sure he regrets that now). IF mystery woman is Larry's Family member then I would think the police would have found her by now. Wellll maybe not since they haven't even spoken to Larry - which leads to - WHY in the hell haven't the police talked to Larry?!?!? He seemed very straight forward answering all the questions. He came off more sincere than Johnnie did!
I think the dad did go to the mall with his daughter and then the mom picked her daughter up there and now the mom is hiding her because she didn't want to share custody.
After the dad talked to Jason, it makes me wonder if he IS innocent. I feel like 9 times out of 10 on these episodes, the people that are "suspects" usually shut these interviewers completely down..shut the door in their face, drive away etc. He seemed very willing to talk. IMO I feel like the mom had something to do with Bethany being "missing" like maybe she planned this kidnapping plot out so that way her daughter who she says clearly didn't want to be around her dad, wouldn't have to be anymore. I mean weirder shit has happened 🤷
the mother is fishy too. She has has something to do with that disappearance . She doesnt show much emotion when they ask her "what do you miss most about Bethany?" 11:54 that "everythiiiing".. Oh gosh
Definitely and the way she made it out like Bethany was scared of her dad. And yes she might have been scared of him but the way she describes it just seems off
In an earlier section of this video he says “they” meaning both he AND Bethany took a nap in the parking lot but his story changed on this segment interview at his house. I am not sure why he has not been charged with any crime. It is obvious he was if nothing else negligent in her care. Adults are charged all the time when their negligence causes a child’s death. Why not this man?
Her saying the kid went "Oh wow I'm gonna not have to chew my nails any more because my dad is not around" doesn't sound like somebody her age would say. Her mom is lying
Hold up.. Did she just say "in the 17 years I've been working this case, i haven't spoken with Larry once"?? What in the actual FUCK kind of INVESTIGATOR is she?!? Are you serious? Yea.. They need somebody else on this case. That's ridiculous. That comment alone made me sick to my stomach. Pretty sure THAT is why this girl hasn't been found. If the person that's in charge of finding this girl didn't even speak to the LAST PERSON known to see her ALIVE.. What else has she ignored? She needs a new freakin profession😒
Reading comments on this & lot of people think mom hid her. But she's like 28- 31yrs old rn, why stay hidden? Statue of limitations on kidnapping is max 15yrs. I mean who wouldn't come forward at that age just to clear things up. But there wasn't a lot of details in this story like most either. TBI didn't say any details of the investigation except for talking to few ppl. I think this is one that needs to be reexamined by FBI starting from scratch.
I can’t even imagine the gut wrenching pain of a missing child. Probably the worse feeling over almost anything. Even over your child dying. You just don’t know what happened or if they’re even alive. Just constant worry, wonder, and emptiness. 😢
I thought the dad was guilty they they interviewed him. He acts NOTHING like all the other guilty people running from the cameras. He is super matter of fact about the daughter and the things that happened. I think he knows/assumes the daughter was hidden by the mom and he has just accepted it.
I'm the first one to always think the person is guilty...but after watching this I don't really think the dad had anything to do with it. Hopefully one day the truth will come out.
"She went in supposedly" he said. So she may or may not have gone in? You let your 11 year old go alone into a mall? Did he not see to it that she at least got into the mall? No father who is protective over his young daughter would let her out of his sight, especially in a mall.. He should be charged with child neglect. If he was there she wouldn't have gone missing.
The easy answer is the mom had something to do with it. I almost feel like she is fabricating Bethanys words. “Bethany said what if he doesn’t bring me back” it’s almost TOO good. Unfortunately, I know her mom didn’t actually do it but who knows if she didn’t pay someone. It’s hard to toss up. That and also the sketch literally is the mom.
The mom’s stories aren’t sitting right with me, it’s hard for me to believe that the dad was really as cruel as she claims. I don’t think her father did anything to Bethany, other than put her in grown folks situations and manipulate her to win mom back. He was negligent and it got their daughter taken.
Okay this judicial system makes me wanna puke. They knew the father tried to kidnap her from school, physically assaulted a teacher, the mother got a restraint, and the fucker was still allowed UNsupervised visits? Are you kidding me?!
Idk, I don’t see how y’all place the mom as the issue when it’s his visitation weekend, he took her to the mall (as if the mom knew she was there), he took the girl to Arkansas, HIS FRIEND thinks it was him, HIS FRIEND had his suspicions, if HIS OWN sister in law said the way he talked to her is something a child shouldn’t hear, shes 11 not 3. She knows how to feel about someone, she should have a nice selection of vocabulary at 11. It’s not parent alienation if she as a child knows what’s going on and doesn’t wanna be there. They probably had plenty of talks about leaving and if her mom picked her up faster than normal she has the ability to put it together.
I have to agree, that sketch of the woman seen with Bethany looked a heck of a lot like her mother. And I do think she seemed less sincere than the father.
I am basically from Jackson where she disappeared and that mall you do not leave a child in that mall alone because there is a good chance you won’t see them again..... Jackson is a town that you never leave your child alone
How do you fall asleep in a van and a child just opens the van and wander off? A child would never leave a parent or be able to unlock the car door. He killed her because he didn't want his wife to get custody.
I do not understand this: if a parent leaves a kid in the car, and the child dies, the parent goes to prison. But if a parent leaves a kid in the Mall and the child disappeares, the parent does not go to prison. How weird is this?
The father is either innocent or a sociopath. Im wondering if "moms new boyfriend" was Larrys friend. That would explain why he lied. Also, mom could have staged the kidnapping with her mother who prbably still has the girl.
How come the dad wasn't charged with some kind of child abandonment or something? This is so dumb to me his ass needs to be in jail till he gives up what happened to her!
Wow, people judge so much by the "looks"... sure, he doesn't look guilty, but the facts: he tried to get Beth by force from the school, then the story he told his friend, and most important: Beth disappeared when she was with him! He says she went to the mall, but she's on no camera there... just add one and one
Maybe he didnt. Maybe he just dropped her off in the parking lot and that is why you dont see her on surveillance footage. I guess no parking lots cameras.
Larry is looking down and not at the reporter as he is lying his ass off.........it's body language 101. In this last interview Larry has his arms folded defensively across his chest and he is touching his nose as he tells his story. This is also a sign of lying.
A young girl alone at the mall... She could have been kidnapped by a predatory stranger in the mall parking lot and that's why she didn't show up on the mall surveillance cameras.
So I read up on this. Apparently she was kidnapped and someone tried to enroll her in school then moved to Illinois never to be seen again. How does it happen and nothing comes of it
@Iam Notafan he said he was told early on not to go to the media,this clip didn't really do the story justice. Guilty of neglect,absolutely..but that's a far cry from accusing someone of murder. Unfortunately being an idiot is not illegal
The thing is, today Bethany would be around 30 years old so unless she is dead if she is still having no contact with her mother it's because that is HER choice. That said, a parent who has custody of a child, legal or otherwise, can spend a lot of time poisoning that child's mind against the non-custodial parent so that even when she gets old enough to initiate contact herself she does not do so because she has been so brainwashed about the parent she has not seen for decades. What a shame this is. Bethany could well be dead but if she is alive if she has been told stories of how her mother mistreated her or her mother doesn't want her or some other such story designed to turn her against her mother, I would hope that she would be adult enough to contact her mother and learn for herself the type person she is. And I wish she would realize that just because her dad is her dad does NOT mean he's not also a big fat liar and she does not need to take as gospel every word that came out of his mouth. I have a family member who was the victim of being kidnapped by her noncustodial mother who took her to another state. That happened DECADES ago and back then one state would not enforce another state's custody rulings so her mother was never forced to bring her back to her father who actually won custody. She was raised on a pack of lies about her father and based on those lies she has no contact with her father because she still, to this day, believes all the lies her mother told her. She refused to believe that her sainted mother is a bald faced liar and also her dear old mom was in reality an adulterer to the point that the paternity of her sister is in question. It's a shame how parents mistreat a child in order to stick it to an ex spouse whom they now despise.
I would walk to the mall with my friends and spend the whole day browsing, without a phone, when I was 10+ in the nineties. No one thought anything of it.
Juicy J maybe she’s alive and she’s just afraid to reach out to her mom because it’s been so long and it’s a lot of emotions to deal with and so many years have passed and especially because if she’s alive she could of been through something horrible and she doesn’t know how to approach re connecting with her family. If she’s alive I hope she’s okay and if she’s not I hope they find where ever she’s at.
Something about this mother's stories are putting up red flags every where with me. Not only that but the sketch of that woman looked just like her and it even looked like her daughter a bit. They need a new detective on this case cause clearly the one whos been on it for years isnt bringing any clues to the table and it may be because shes looking at the wrong person.
@@charliem.7492 When has it ever been a bad thing to have new people look into a case? Many cases have been solved when they were turned over to someone else.
@@VocalBeast For sure. And that doesnt mean that she did anything but theres just something unrealistic about the things she claims her child said, and it could just be that moms overdramatic but who knows. Although its odd the one sighting was a person trying to enroll her in school.. Doesn't sound like your typical kidnapper. Lol
I'm thinking that too at first I thought honestly that the dad did it but after the dad talked to the guy at crime watch daily I'm not sure anymore maybe he's a damn good actor this case is disturbing hopefully one day what happened to this little girl is exposed....
There is something very off about this whole case and something with the mom doesn’t sit right with me.. edit: reminds me of the British case of Shannon Matthews who’s mom kidnapped her and left her with a family member for attention + money
Call me crazy, but after watching a million of these videos about killer parents, the dad does not come off as someone hiding something...not even a little bit. The mom, on the other hand, does not come off as a grieving mother, either. It wouldn't make sense for the girl to still be hiding at age 31, but I can see her mom sneaking her off somewhere until she turned 18 and could say "no" to seeing her dad again.
A mother in paralysed shock for many years n not forgetting how many retakes they could have done where she broken down off camera or even how many years she cried. You just never know. Grief n Shock is different for everyone. After my loss I did not cry for so long. I acted normal went into denial.
Have your child go missing for TWO decades! Tell me how much your going to show grief the way YOU think she should be grieving. You have NO idea if she doesn't cry every night, you have NO idea HOW much that Mother grieves! Just because she isn't grieving the way YOU think she should doesn't make her guilty! So yes, I will call you Crazy! And just because you have watched "a million of these videos about killer parents", doesn't make you an expert! Look at Jeffery Dahmer. He didn't act like a mass murderer and didn't act like he had anything to hide either, and low and behold...he was one of the worst serial killers of all time!
I agree the Dad seemed genuine , but...idk. If Mom was secretly seeing daughter all this time you'd think she'd be found out. The alternative is that she sent her away somewhere safe and has not seen her which makes no sense , unless Bethany is hiding to protect her Mom. Kidnapping is a serious charge , so that could be I suppose. I just hope she's alive of course.
This episode is a great example of when speaking up and defending yourself can actually make you look better. Her dad speaking out and defending himself makes him seem more innocent then all the other people who just run and avoid the interview.
It happens all the time, may daughters father didn’t see her for 4 years when she was younger. Wonders why she wants nothing to do with him now that she’s an adult.
First, I believe the father! Second, the drawing looks like the mother! And, I bet she tried to enroll her daughter in the school that was reported. I think the mom set it up for her daughter to want to go to the mall. Again - As a set up! Now, the daughter may be in hiding, or with family who (thinks they are) "protecting" her. I hope she is alive and well. And, hopefully one day we all can hear from her!
I don't trust that mother one itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny, ityy-bity, tiny, miniscule, little bitty bit of a tid-bit. Ya know, not one iota. If one of the parents is involved, I imagine the smart young woman that child grew into, will not come forward until her "kidnapper" (whichever one of her parents) has passed away, so as to protect him/her from punishment. I'm pretty sure that non-custodial parental kidnapping has a statute of limitations. It has been 20yrs...should be getting close to it
"mommy, are we leaving daddy"? um.... parental alienation anyone? "mommy, do you think I won't bite my fingernails anymore"!? yeah, that totally sounds like something a child would say with no couching from mom.
I mean.. children do say some strange things, especially children who grow up in not great situations.. but i agree with what you’re implying and think the mother is at fault.
I just commented that on another comment! That really got me..... No kid says that unless their being told that stuff.... Like "see hunny you're biting your nails cuz you're so stressed out" .....
I think on the day he dropped off Bethany, the mom took her away and hid her and then tried to enroll her in a school afterwards. All to protect her daughter from more abuse from Larry. The sketch looks dead on like the mom.
the dad is the only guy I've seen on these videos that actually talked about the case when asked to at the house to give more information to the crime watch daily.
Did you notice his quick look left before he said he said he had no involvement in her disappearence. His voice is convincing but his body language through the interview suggests that he's lying. However, those aren't always good indicators because sometimes people have mannerisms that can make them seem like they're lying. He was definitely uneasy the whole time and not in the way that you would expect. You would expect him to be uneasy with grief but he was really more uneasy with the allegations and police labeling him a suspect. He also talked about the hypothetical situation of him taking his daughter to Mexico in his truck. If he did take his daughter to Mexico in the truck, the truck would be much easier to find. it would have a DOT number associated with his name and information. Anyone who was in his situation smart enough to think about order of events would realize that that is where the police would look first. So, I feel like he was trying to manipulate thoughts about the case with that story but it could very well be that he was saying like why would I take a van down to Mexico I had other options if I were doing it. Still weird though. The mom seems off to me too though... Very little body language almost like she had a pre-rehersed story that she was telling. She also had no apparent anger towards the father and not a lot of emotion about losing her daughter. However, that could have been a result of telling the story for 20 years. I think the mom is more credible for two reasons, she actually has a witness in the family who could verify that the dad was manipulative to the young girl and the Dad tried to abduct her from her school a month earlier. I wish that the detective had talked about the abduction from the school because if they were able to verify that the statements from the teachers were true then it points more to the father. In a lot of these crime cases there is a very clear suspect, but in this case, it could have been the mom, it could have been the dad, and it could have been a kidnapping. Hopefully some more evidence comes forward and they're able to find out what happened.
It’s what she looks like now, but not what she looked like back then. She was much younger looking. But it really does look like her now so perhaps it was her mother.
Wait, what? She may be embellishing, and over elaborating, but he lied about his older two children, and then when they drove by them on the road and they waved - he said they aren't his??? That right there, would've been enough for me to leave someone... that's crazy. He's a legit douche bag, if nothing else.
Always the same with domestic abuse ppl always assuming victim is liar n abuser is innocent. 😒 because they do not act like they expect them to n the lying abuser is such a good actor.
@Lisa Walls Not that the pain of losing a child ever stops, but it has been 19 years! She’s probably been thru this story, doing a lot of different interviews, so many times... so that makes her seem uninterested and irritated. Probably loses more and more hope as the years pass. ☹️
LOL I liked how the interviewer seemed a bit overwhelmed, like "oh no we usually don't get this far". Must be so weird to spend most of your career yelling questions into people's windows and then actually get a person to interview
I have no idea if he is guilty or not (obviously) but he did SEEM credible in the interview and I didn't see anything to convince me of his possible guilt 🤷♂️ IMO ALLEGEDLY
i actually believe the dad, i think something happened in the time bethany was walking to the Mall and i think the mum knows more than she’s letting on cuz that sketch looks like her

Either the Dad is Innocent or he just committed the perfect murder. I honestly think he didn’t have anything to do with it.
Yea I dont think he did it either ..
“Are we leaving daddy?!” .... If what this mother is saying is true, it’s horrible. A child should never be burdened with adult problems. Even if Bethany was horribly abused, it’s up to the adult in the situation to fix it.
The daughter could be scared of the father and suffering abuse herself too. It's not that strange if they talked about that theme before hand
I said the same to my Mom when she left my abusive Father while he was at work. It's common to want to leave your home life when your home life is dysfunctional.
I would watch my best friend cry and beg her mom to leave her horrible abusive dad. :/ we were 11
He should of been at least charged for child neglect or even endangerment. She would be 28 by now.. I feel for the mother.

Her mother have a new boyfriend maybe he didn't want to have around
The mom seems sus
@@TheRsTypo I thought the same thing. Doesn't add up.
I wish that podcaster would have taken that ride to go interview her dad.
He would have then went missing to perhaps shoooot I don’t blame him!
He could've just interviewed him on the phone. He clearly didn't want to hear his side.
she said he would use the child as leverage to make her mind him...Larry's a liar
"she said......." They all 'said'.
Honestly, she sounds like the liar. If he was abusive before, then why did she marry him? Why have his baby? I think she did something to the child.
@@shaddowgolden1054 that makes no sense when he was the last person to see her
Sometimes the only way to save your child or yourself from these abusive situations is to eliminate the problem. Literally. Bethany's mother and Bethany should've been protected by law enforcement, but they never do...then it's too late. These cases are heartwrenching. Bethany if you're out there I hope you and your mother reunite. 😔 Heartbreaking.
Even Larry said "When she went into the Mall, supposedly"! No corroboration she was there!!
I was waiting for and hoping so much that Jason was going to say to the mom "the sketch looks a lot like you"!
Talking about missing her smile and forgetting what she smelled like and forgot what her toes looked like got me! Poor Mama! 😭😭😭
it didn't seem to get her. the mother looks like the woman in the sketch, and the way she spoke about her ex husband sounded like the definition of parental alienation. I'm not convinced she didn't have something to do with this case.
@@matthewstevens2274 you could be right. As a mother I am naive and could never imagine a MOM hurting their child, but it would not be the first time. Nice catch on the sketch I'm going to go back and look at that!
I have never heard a mother say she is starting to forget what her child looked or smelled like. I was hear the opposite. Like, I still can smell her or I still can see her.
Meghan Hertzog People are reaching. Her mom had long wavy hair back in the day.
T's Tube of course u can forget I forget way my daughter look like as a new born if it wasn't for baby pic I wouldn't remember an I don't remember war she smell like at that age either
This is very depressing how this world really is I can't not believe we have people do stupid stuff and don't see there right doing .
@Total Sweet unfortunately 😔
Larry looks and sounds sincere. The woman is slow and mysterious and thinks before she responds... 100% she stalked him.
She does sound slow and calm like she getting ready to fall asleep not do an interview i thought maybe she took medication for her to relax or something GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE
Bethany would be my age :( sorry babygirl RIP
@jiggly puff If she's not dead then she's likely been brainwashed and lost her mother at 11. And where has she secretly been kept all this time (must be a lonely place)?? Dead or not, I can see why someone would feel sorry for her.
Darladawn 222 she could’ve been trafficked
@@abreegourdon1612 Yes, that's the absolute worst case scenario. I'd rather be dead than have been trafficked. I think far more people get trafficked than what most of us realize. :(
Darladawn 222 that’s so sad, who would do that to a child? So much evil in this world 😭😭
How heartbreaking for her Mother, and Family!!💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏
You say you can’t find court documents like that means something. I’m a survivor of an extremely bad abusive ex. We had a child and my life became so dependent on him. I did not go to the police out of fear for myself and my child as well as fear of trying to financially support a child. The only reason it ended up being known by the police and courts is because of how brutal it became in the end. Women in these situations do not usually call the police or file charges in court until the choice is taken from the women with pure brutality and we end up in the hospital a few times.
What kind of detective will not talk to the suspect in 20 years !!!! 😱
Hi everyone.
So, I have a date later and the guy is like... Do you have a dress and heels.
According to my PhD from watching Crime Watch Daily... that’s a sign of a sociopath and a killer.
It’s safe to say that I am not going. I’ll not be a victim and FL is too dangerous smh...
Naaah. I am not going to light up the room. Absolutely not.
P.S. I’m addicted to this channel. My daily dose.
😆"I'm not gonna light up the room"
koolade2sweet lol right... I swear I’m a CIA or some sort lol thanks to Crime Watch Daily.
Relentless Ruthie umm no one should be telling you what to wear either. That’s strange
Amanda Causey right. He’s like hummm I’m coming from a business meeting, is it ok to be in business attire? Then before I reply, he asked me Do you have a nice dress and heels? I’m like, hell to the no... I didn’t even reply I just blocked his number.
Thus mystery woman sketch looks like the dang mother!!!! 💁🏻♀️
I love this show and the young man hosting it he is a hero and not afraid of anyone
This case is really off. Mom seems a bit (IDK) untruthful? deceitful? just off somehow. IDK if she's lying/exaggerating about her ex &/or about Bethany. The Dad shouldn't have let her go into the mall by herself (I'm sure he regrets that now). IF mystery woman is Larry's Family member then I would think the police would have found her by now. Wellll maybe not since they haven't even spoken to Larry - which leads to - WHY in the hell haven't the police talked to Larry?!?!? He seemed very straight forward answering all the questions. He came off more sincere than Johnnie did!
I think the dad did go to the mall with his daughter and then the mom picked her daughter up there and now the mom is hiding her because she didn't want to share custody.
After the dad talked to Jason, it makes me wonder if he IS innocent. I feel like 9 times out of 10 on these episodes, the people that are "suspects" usually shut these interviewers completely down..shut the door in their face, drive away etc. He seemed very willing to talk.
IMO I feel like the mom had something to do with Bethany being "missing" like maybe she planned this kidnapping plot out so that way her daughter who she says clearly didn't want to be around her dad, wouldn't have to be anymore. I mean weirder shit has happened 🤷
The age comparison really shows how much she cld possibly look just like her mom
the mother is fishy too. She has has something to do with that disappearance . She doesnt show much emotion when they ask her "what do you miss most about Bethany?" 11:54 that "everythiiiing".. Oh gosh
Definitely and the way she made it out like Bethany was scared of her dad. And yes she might have been scared of him but the way she describes it just seems off
Hasn't it been like 19 years though? That's a long time to become more calm about the situation.
Shannon Davidson fair pint and everyone would deal with it differently but I just get a weird vibe from her.
@@caoimheroche9323 the vibe, yes. I think they both have something to do with that, but the mother is more weird to me
In an earlier section of this video he says “they” meaning both he AND Bethany took a nap in the parking lot but his story changed on this segment interview at his house. I am not sure why he has not been charged with any crime. It is obvious he was if nothing else negligent in her care. Adults are charged all the time when their negligence causes a child’s death. Why not this man?
He obviously did something to her, it's a sad story
Her saying the kid went "Oh wow I'm gonna not have to chew my nails any more because my dad is not around" doesn't sound like somebody her age would say. Her mom is lying
You could tell by the look on the interviewers face and the way he sounded when asking questions that he knew Jonnie was bullsh*tting him.
The sketch is the mom smh 🤦🏻♀️
What a heartbreaking story! I can’t imagine the pain & suffering her family is going through.
Hold up.. Did she just say "in the 17 years I've been working this case, i haven't spoken with Larry once"?? What in the actual FUCK kind of INVESTIGATOR is she?!? Are you serious? Yea.. They need somebody else on this case. That's ridiculous. That comment alone made me sick to my stomach. Pretty sure THAT is why this girl hasn't been found. If the person that's in charge of finding this girl didn't even speak to the LAST PERSON known to see her ALIVE.. What else has she ignored? She needs a new freakin profession😒
You’re my favorite reporter
Reading comments on this & lot of people think mom hid her. But she's like 28- 31yrs old rn, why stay hidden? Statue of limitations on kidnapping is max 15yrs. I mean who wouldn't come forward at that age just to clear things up. But there wasn't a lot of details in this story like most either. TBI didn't say any details of the investigation except for talking to few ppl. I think this is one that needs to be reexamined by FBI starting from scratch.
This mom and her ex husband are Despicable
I can’t even imagine the gut wrenching pain of a missing child. Probably the worse feeling over almost anything. Even over your child dying. You just don’t know what happened or if they’re even alive. Just constant worry, wonder, and emptiness. 😢
I thought the dad was guilty they they interviewed him. He acts NOTHING like all the other guilty people running from the cameras. He is super matter of fact about the daughter and the things that happened. I think he knows/assumes the daughter was hidden by the mom and he has just accepted it.
I'm the first one to always think the person is guilty...but after watching this I don't really think the dad had anything to do with it. Hopefully one day the truth will come out.
to me it shows that bethany’s dad genuine loves her & cared for her ):
"She went in supposedly" he said. So she may or may not have gone in? You let your 11 year old go alone into a mall? Did he not see to it that she at least got into the mall? No father who is protective over his young daughter would let her out of his sight, especially in a mall.. He should be charged with child neglect. If he was there she wouldn't have gone missing.
The easy answer is the mom had something to do with it. I almost feel like she is fabricating Bethanys words. “Bethany said what if he doesn’t bring me back” it’s almost TOO good. Unfortunately, I know her mom didn’t actually do it but who knows if she didn’t pay someone. It’s hard to toss up. That and also the sketch literally is the mom.
The mom’s stories aren’t sitting right with me, it’s hard for me to believe that the dad was really as cruel as she claims. I don’t think her father did anything to Bethany, other than put her in grown folks situations and manipulate her to win mom back. He was negligent and it got their daughter taken.
Okay this judicial system makes me wanna puke. They knew the father tried to kidnap her from school, physically assaulted a teacher, the mother got a restraint, and the fucker was still allowed UNsupervised visits? Are you kidding me?!
Man, she's my age.. I hope this story has a happy ending
Idk, I don’t see how y’all place the mom as the issue when it’s his visitation weekend, he took her to the mall (as if the mom knew she was there), he took the girl to Arkansas, HIS FRIEND thinks it was him, HIS FRIEND had his suspicions, if HIS OWN sister in law said the way he talked to her is something a child shouldn’t hear, shes 11 not 3. She knows how to feel about someone, she should have a nice selection of vocabulary at 11. It’s not parent alienation if she as a child knows what’s going on and doesn’t wanna be there. They probably had plenty of talks about leaving and if her mom picked her up faster than normal she has the ability to put it together.
exactly
I have to agree, that sketch of the woman seen with Bethany looked a heck of a lot like her mother. And I do think she seemed less sincere than the father.
I am basically from Jackson where she disappeared and that mall you do not leave a child in that mall alone because there is a good chance you won’t see them again..... Jackson is a town that you never leave your child alone
What have the Police actually done to solve this case ? NOTHING !
He did something to that little girl to hurt her mother.
How do you fall asleep in a van and a child just opens the van and wander off? A child would never leave a parent or be able to unlock the car door. He killed her because he didn't want his wife to get custody.
I LOVE THAT SOMEONE FINALLY TALKED TO HIM WHEN HE WENT TO THEIR HOUSE! Heck yeah!
The host is the definition of cynical. I've seen this guy slithers around a couple of times now.
Poor kid. Surrounded by adults wrapped up in their own problems and drama first, letting her be a kid second.
I do not understand this: if a parent leaves a kid in the car, and the child dies, the parent goes to prison.
But if a parent leaves a kid in the Mall and the child disappeares, the parent does not go to prison.
How weird is this?
To be honest, Jonny seems more suspect than the father. Something in all this doesn't add up.
I believe her father!!
Find it strange that the sketch is the spitting image of the mother, distant sister of his my as! 😂
The father is either innocent or a sociopath. Im wondering if "moms new boyfriend" was Larrys friend. That would explain why he lied. Also, mom could have staged the kidnapping with her mother who prbably still has the girl.
The last sentence!! I find this to be highly likely.
How come the dad wasn't charged with some kind of child abandonment or something? This is so dumb to me his ass needs to be in jail till he gives up what happened to her!
He should not of let her go into the mall by herself that's wrong
Do you have kids? Ill await the lie.
Wow, people judge so much by the "looks"... sure, he doesn't look guilty, but the facts: he tried to get Beth by force from the school, then the story he told his friend, and most important: Beth disappeared when she was with him! He says she went to the mall, but she's on no camera there... just add one and one
Dad says "...and she went in SUPPOSEDLY" (to the mall). Didn't he see her enter? 11:13
Maybe he didnt. Maybe he just dropped her off in the parking lot and that is why you dont see her on surveillance footage. I guess no parking lots cameras.
Please do Patrick cress he was 13 in 1983 when he was found murdered ..
Larry is looking down and not at the reporter as he is lying his ass off.........it's body language 101. In this last interview Larry has his arms folded defensively across his chest and he is touching his nose as he tells his story. This is also a sign of lying.
A young girl alone at the mall... She could have been kidnapped by a predatory stranger in the mall parking lot and that's why she didn't show up on the mall surveillance cameras.
I believe the father.
My middle Daughter is 10 and I couldn't imagine her going missing.AND I ALSO DONT JUST LET MY CHILD WALK AROUND OR GO ANYWHERE ALONE💯💯
So I read up on this. Apparently she was kidnapped and someone tried to enroll her in school then moved to Illinois never to be seen again. How does it happen and nothing comes of it
How can you just loose an 11 year old?
I'm sorry but I just don't think that poor girl is still alive...
same sadly
The dad did it maybe im wrong he was the last person to see her alive
I agree... and it’s absolutely heartbreaking
@baselinebaz at 8:18 there was no proof she was ever at the mall...
Agreed 😔
I've seen other shows on this case,I don't believe the dad did it. He was definitely negligent,but I don't think he killed her
I think he did
I also agree and hope he's not hiding her. He's seems very confident she's still alive.
@Iam Notafan he said he was told early on not to go to the media,this clip didn't really do the story justice. Guilty of neglect,absolutely..but that's a far cry from accusing someone of murder. Unfortunately being an idiot is not illegal
@Luna EB What do you mean "hiding her"?
The thing is, today Bethany would be around 30 years old so unless she is dead if she is still having no contact with her mother it's because that is HER choice. That said, a parent who has custody of a child, legal or otherwise, can spend a lot of time poisoning that child's mind against the non-custodial parent so that even when she gets old enough to initiate contact herself she does not do so because she has been so brainwashed about the parent she has not seen for decades. What a shame this is.
Bethany could well be dead but if she is alive if she has been told stories of how her mother mistreated her or her mother doesn't want her or some other such story designed to turn her against her mother, I would hope that she would be adult enough to contact her mother and learn for herself the type person she is. And I wish she would realize that just because her dad is her dad does NOT mean he's not also a big fat liar and she does not need to take as gospel every word that came out of his mouth.
I have a family member who was the victim of being kidnapped by her noncustodial mother who took her to another state. That happened DECADES ago and back then one state would not enforce another state's custody rulings so her mother was never forced to bring her back to her father who actually won custody. She was raised on a pack of lies about her father and based on those lies she has no contact with her father because she still, to this day, believes all the lies her mother told her. She refused to believe that her sainted mother is a bald faced liar and also her dear old mom was in reality an adulterer to the point that the paternity of her sister is in question. It's a shame how parents mistreat a child in order to stick it to an ex spouse whom they now despise.
Who leaves a 11 year old alone in a mall?
Unfortunately she could have trafficked.
I would walk to the mall with my friends and spend the whole day browsing, without a phone, when I was 10+ in the nineties. No one thought anything of it.
@@mags7283 You weren't alone. She was
Let's hope not
She was never at the mall her dad made her disappear
trafficking wasnt as big of a thing then as it is now. its possible but unlikely.
That woman sketch looks like the mom? 😂😭 I'm tripping out lmao
Yep!!!
Sure does..
NO YOU ARE NOT TRIPP'N. SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE MOM. I WONDER IF SHE KNOWS WHERE HER DAUGHTER IS, WON'T TELL SO THEY CAN RAIL ROAD THIS MAN.
Nah you're not tripping. that's definitely THE MOTHER.
As soon as I saw the sketch I’m like that looks a lot like the mom.
Daughter looks like Kylie Jenner... back in the day of course lol.
I said the same thing lol
Lol I was looking for this comment
Agreed
Ah that would be great if the jenners and kim went missing
That's the reason why i clicked the video.
I hope the daughter IS alive and sees this. I pray she's safe.
Yeah, this is a hard one.
True but if she was alive she would of reached out to her mom
Juicy J maybe she’s alive and she’s just afraid to reach out to her mom because it’s been so long and it’s a lot of emotions to deal with and so many years have passed and especially because if she’s alive she could of been through something horrible and she doesn’t know how to approach re connecting with her family. If she’s alive I hope she’s okay and if she’s not I hope they find where ever she’s at.
Im her daughter whats good ma niggas
😂 dream on
Something about this mother's stories are putting up red flags every where with me. Not only that but the sketch of that woman looked just like her and it even looked like her daughter a bit. They need a new detective on this case cause clearly the one whos been on it for years isnt bringing any clues to the table and it may be because shes looking at the wrong person.
/eyeroll!
ok detective lol.
@@charliem.7492 When has it ever been a bad thing to have new people look into a case? Many cases have been solved when they were turned over to someone else.
I agree tbh, something about the mom seems off.
@@VocalBeast For sure. And that doesnt mean that she did anything but theres just something unrealistic about the things she claims her child said, and it could just be that moms overdramatic but who knows. Although its odd the one sighting was a person trying to enroll her in school.. Doesn't sound like your typical kidnapper. Lol
I'm thinking that too at first I thought honestly that the dad did it but after the dad talked to the guy at crime watch daily I'm not sure anymore maybe he's a damn good actor this case is disturbing hopefully one day what happened to this little girl is exposed....
There is something very off about this whole case and something with the mom doesn’t sit right with me..
edit: reminds me of the British case of Shannon Matthews who’s mom kidnapped her and left her with a family member for attention + money
I agree. The sketch looked like the mom, and the mom seems to be withholding info. 😶
Same
Same here.
yup
Absolutely agree
Call me crazy, but after watching a million of these videos about killer parents, the dad does not come off as someone hiding something...not even a little bit. The mom, on the other hand, does not come off as a grieving mother, either. It wouldn't make sense for the girl to still be hiding at age 31, but I can see her mom sneaking her off somewhere until she turned 18 and could say "no" to seeing her dad again.
A mother in paralysed shock for many years n not forgetting how many retakes they could have done where she broken down off camera or even how many years she cried.
You just never know. Grief n Shock is different for everyone.
After my loss I did not cry for so long. I acted normal went into denial.
Okay because I like this theory !!!!
Have your child go missing for TWO decades! Tell me how much your going to show grief the way YOU think she should be grieving. You have NO idea if she doesn't cry every night, you have NO idea HOW much that Mother grieves! Just because she isn't grieving the way YOU think she should doesn't make her guilty! So yes, I will call you Crazy! And just because you have watched "a million of these videos about killer parents", doesn't make you an expert! Look at Jeffery Dahmer. He didn't act like a mass murderer and didn't act like he had anything to hide either, and low and behold...he was one of the worst serial killers of all time!
amen! I agree 100%.
I agree the Dad seemed genuine , but...idk.
If Mom was secretly seeing daughter all this time you'd think she'd be found out. The alternative is that she sent her away somewhere safe and has not seen her which makes no sense , unless Bethany is hiding to protect her Mom. Kidnapping is a serious charge , so that could be I suppose. I just hope she's alive of course.
This episode is a great example of when speaking up and defending yourself can actually make you look better. Her dad speaking out and defending himself makes him seem more innocent then all the other people who just run and avoid the interview.
Can’t imagine someone basically denying their own kids!
It happens more then you would think
My parents don't bother with me or my son.. it's a common occurrence I'm afraid.. 💔
It happens all the time, may daughters father didn’t see her for 4 years when she was younger. Wonders why she wants nothing to do with him now that she’s an adult.
Joe Kulik, Absolutely agree! She knew before she married him.. he was a bad guy!! But, she still married him!
Whered that happen? Oh you fabricated it in your mind, ok
Did you know he was married. ? NO...
well..yes..but..omg
Bostongirl 🤣
First, I believe the father! Second, the drawing looks like the mother! And, I bet she tried to enroll her daughter in the school that was reported. I think the mom set it up for her daughter to want to go to the mall. Again - As a set up! Now, the daughter may be in hiding, or with family who (thinks they are) "protecting" her. I hope she is alive and well. And, hopefully one day we all can hear from her!
As soon as I saw the sketch I thought it looked like the mother 😭
This was 20 years ago, she would have been younger, so it probably was Jonnie’s mom just like the father said the sketch looked like.
I don't trust that mother one itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny, ityy-bity, tiny, miniscule, little bitty bit of a tid-bit. Ya know, not one iota.
If one of the parents is involved, I imagine the smart young woman that child grew into, will not come forward until her "kidnapper" (whichever one of her parents) has passed away, so as to protect him/her from punishment.
I'm pretty sure that non-custodial parental kidnapping has a statute of limitations. It has been 20yrs...should be getting close to it
@@autumnleaf3667 they said the sketch was of a fourty year old and mom here is looking late fifties- sixty...
"mommy, are we leaving daddy"? um.... parental alienation anyone? "mommy, do you think I won't bite my fingernails anymore"!? yeah, that totally sounds like something a child would say with no couching from mom.
I mean.. children do say some strange things, especially children who grow up in not great situations.. but i agree with what you’re implying and think the mother is at fault.
I actually agree 100%
I just commented that on another comment! That really got me..... No kid says that unless their being told that stuff.... Like "see hunny you're biting your nails cuz you're so stressed out" .....
@Lonely Alien u clearly dont understand the term. sit down dude.
So true children don’t even talk like that
I think on the day he dropped off Bethany, the mom took her away and hid her and then tried to enroll her in a school afterwards. All to protect her daughter from more abuse from Larry. The sketch looks dead on like the mom.
Agree!
I just said the same thing and was hoping someone else saw it too!
That’s an interesting theory. What a sly mom!
That’s what I thought too, that’s correct.
If it is so............ at 28 .............you think Bethany would come forward and put an end to this ?
the dad is the only guy I've seen on these videos that actually talked about the case when asked to at the house to give more information to the crime watch daily.
100%
Because he didn't do it. It's more likely a coordinated disappearance between Bethany, the mom and grandma.
They usually talk when they’re innocent
I’m astounded how much I did a 180 from the beginning to end of this. I don’t think he did it.
He definitely did it or knows who did
Did you notice his quick look left before he said he said he had no involvement in her disappearence. His voice is convincing but his body language through the interview suggests that he's lying. However, those aren't always good indicators because sometimes people have mannerisms that can make them seem like they're lying. He was definitely uneasy the whole time and not in the way that you would expect. You would expect him to be uneasy with grief but he was really more uneasy with the allegations and police labeling him a suspect. He also talked about the hypothetical situation of him taking his daughter to Mexico in his truck. If he did take his daughter to Mexico in the truck, the truck would be much easier to find. it would have a DOT number associated with his name and information. Anyone who was in his situation smart enough to think about order of events would realize that that is where the police would look first. So, I feel like he was trying to manipulate thoughts about the case with that story but it could very well be that he was saying like why would I take a van down to Mexico I had other options if I were doing it. Still weird though.
The mom seems off to me too though... Very little body language almost like she had a pre-rehersed story that she was telling. She also had no apparent anger towards the father and not a lot of emotion about losing her daughter. However, that could have been a result of telling the story for 20 years. I think the mom is more credible for two reasons, she actually has a witness in the family who could verify that the dad was manipulative to the young girl and the Dad tried to abduct her from her school a month earlier. I wish that the detective had talked about the abduction from the school because if they were able to verify that the statements from the teachers were true then it points more to the father. In a lot of these crime cases there is a very clear suspect, but in this case, it could have been the mom, it could have been the dad, and it could have been a kidnapping. Hopefully some more evidence comes forward and they're able to find out what happened.
Same..
Why does the sketch look like the mom ?
it rly does
Oh my gosh!
It’s literally her!!!! What is happening here?!
It’s what she looks like now, but not what she looked like back then. She was much younger looking. But it really does look like her now so perhaps it was her mother.
Because It is the mom 🤣🤣
The dad seems innocent and the Mom seems like she knows more then she's saying
It does...seems like she used her daughter as a possession, not her child.
I just said that the woman in the drawing looks like Bethany and her mom so he dad is probably right
Bruh ong I said he same thing
That's what most people in the comments are saying.
Wait, what? She may be embellishing, and over elaborating, but he lied about his older two children, and then when they drove by them on the road and they waved - he said they aren't his???
That right there, would've been enough for me to leave someone... that's crazy. He's a legit douche bag, if nothing else.

@@lisawalls1007 Not everyone cries
I think the dad seems very sincere and he actually agreed to the interview, very few do!

I have no idea if he is guilty or not (obviously) but he did SEEM credible in the interview and I didn't see anything to convince me of his possible guilt
