Can we just appreciate Rachel's boyfriend for a moment? After all these years he is still very upset, you can see the pain in his eyes - he really loved her. That's so tragic that they didn't have a chance to have their happily ever after. My heart goes to him.
I do not think there should be any time period for reporting missing persons. People are not stupid they know if someone is not around and if its out of character or not, especially in this day and age with mobiles. If someone who is always on time is a half hour late and they wont answer their calls that to me is evidence enough. And say they do turn up 5 mins later ? So what, id rather waste 5 mins of police time than loose hours on a search for someone who really is missing.
Theure the perfect target because people know they'll let their guard down and will take advantage of that security 🤷🏽♀️ Just lioe men who fuck every chick they see foinf after virgins or barely legal girls because theure more naive and easily swayed
news doesn’t care to report what happens in the hood. pretty suburban white girls going missing is newsworthy to them. which is sad we should give attention to all :-(
She was so close to home when she vanished. I feel like it had to be someone who knew her and was familiar with her jogging route. It's so odd that the neighbors didn't hear anything...
I was waiting for that to tie back into the case some how...., "His wife recently won the lottery, he could've retired early but chose to stay and work the case" nope! Never heard that even 😂
The point is to show how committed this man is to solve this crime! Most people who have 85 million dollars would choose to retire and do something else with there time! He isn’t doing this job for the money. That’s the point
That town is lucky, they have a sheriff that no doubt cares about his job because he certainly could be laying on a beach the rest of his life, instead of working a tough job. Hope he can solve this.
The world is what we make it, if people dont speak when there is a phschyo in their family when all we teach is money and materil things and sex out if control, then there will be no change in this world, teach evil to your kids then evil will be the world teach love kindness then maybe change will come, love from greece

Doesnt mean she vanished the next second. The killer could have been hiding in her home, waiting for her to return so they can attack her. Or, it could have been a burglary, and she returns to surprise the burglars, in which case they kill her. Or.....a million other things. Neighbors werent stalking her ffs. They didnt have eyes set on her at all times. Also, its actually easy to stun and kill someone without a scream, unfortunately. Plenty of murderers have already done that, as history proves.

She was so pretty & vivacious and ambitious. Her boyfriend was quite cute too, they were definitely a power couple. They rocked the 90s & early 2000s looks. Poor dear. I feel for her former boyfriend and famil members. :( I hope she did not suffer much.
I'll never understand how people just vanish without a trace. I know it happens, I don't know how nobody sees anything. Especially in the light of day. God bless the family. I don't think I could live not knowing what happened to my child.
*Lainy* exactly I know it happens. But it blows my mind. And I agree I don’t know how I could live my life without knowing what happened to my child. Every day would be hell for me
I cried when they talked about the father failing the polygraph because he knew his daughter was in heaven. I can't imagine knowing in my heart that my child is dead, and still finding the motivation to continue searching. Powerful.
I lived a mile from her and my brother lives one block over. I remember being at his house that day and right after we left, cops swarmed the neighborhood. My brother talked to police and said he heard a scream.
Gosh...I remember when this happened. I grew up in gtown. I remember my parent's being terrified when this happened. They still have photo of her all over town. So sad....
Sorry but i am general contractor, that is broad and messed up statement. On my jobs. Everybody gets a background check. And if they fail. They do not work for me.

Wow her sister is absolutely gorgeous too... at 12:20-22 she looks so much like her. That has gotta be tough on a parent to get glimpse of what you're missing in your other child. 😭
@@taydestiny38 😂 It's my only relief that she doesn't narrate all the episodes. I normally just skip. Her lowkey shouting is not relaxing at all. You just want to murder a drink!
If a person fails a polygraph, doesnt automatically mean hes the killer/abductor just that he may know Plus a person does get nervous, they are being questioned by police
I wonder if he really left Texas to go back to San Diego like they said...or waited around to kill her. Motive maybe was that she was flirting with ex boyfriend at that party, not fighting, like he said....???
When I was younger I was out walking a 4 mile track on backroads by my home. I’d never gone down this ravel road but decided to. This guy leaves from a sketchy house in his truck and drives by me, no big deal. But then a few minutes later he comes back towards me. Creeped me out. I feel like had I not had my big dog, I may have been abducted. This story takes me back.
The mother left her husband because he had become “too obsessed” with finding their daughter??? She lost a few “sympathy points” from me with that one...
It's extremely common when a child dies/goes missing. Everyone grieves differently, and it sounds like the fathers obsession with finding his daughter - while completely justified- turned him into a bitter man towards his wife. He maybe felt like she "just didn't care about their daughter as much as him" if she was wanting to move on to the best of her ability. It's sad, but so many couples separate after losing a child. It completely changes your personality and you aren't always compatible with your spouse after that :(
You ever think she needs to separate as she said cuz it's so sad for her too & can't hear it everyday of her life!!!!!!!! She obviously already thinks about it everyday of her life!
This is so crazy. Another woman disappeared like this too. Not even close to related to this case outside of that. But I say that to say this. They found out later it was a teenage boy that grew up with the girls older brother and lived across the street from her. He had also sexually assaulted her. So it would seem to me to disappear so close to home and not have a suspect means obviously it's someone close to home that no one subconsciously sees as a threat. Someone with a sexual deviancy and probably a young adult Male that knows her. This is so unfortunate that these trained police would rather believe in an alien abduction than the obvious. That one of their own Georgetown residents is a rapist and murderer. Wouldn't doubt for a second if it was an official's child.
jane doe - I thought the same thing! I also believe it's someone in that community that knew her and her family. There are just too many factors at play.
@@sisu413 exactly sis! Now tell me this....if two none police officials can put this together for a suspect. Why couldnt they? Cause they have no motivation or incentive for doing so. I hate the corruption of this world. And I hate that people blame some entity for the free will decisions that real life humans make daily in regards to taking a life they didnt create. No there is a special place for those who choose to go against God and what is natural
Makes sense though doesn’t it. Losers who chose someone to murder will notice someone pretty and lively just like the rest of us. Maybe being boring and pointing out the same fact about these videos eeeeevery single tiiiiimmmeee is the way to stay safe.
@Vincent Cuttolo no one will get our jokes once the original post edits it. Lol. Here's a simile for the topic: I like up a room like a murder victim. What's your metaphor?
"This lightening up a room expression " has me walking around with a frown. People be vigilant if you see something that can help someone help them because the direction the world is heading in we or our love ones will be needing help as well.
Such a sad sad story like far too many others ): Be aware of your surroundings and prepared to protect yourself always. No matter how comfortable you are with where you are. My prayers to Rachel’s family..
i lost my 2yrs old son Leicester square in London for 5 min. That was the longest and unbearable 5 min in my life not knowing where he was. Luckily his father found him staying next to the tree crying for momma. can’t imagine the pain her family goes through.
In cases like these, relatives, boyfriends and ex-boyfriends are the first to be investigated. But as it turned out, none of this was done seriously. When the police say they have 100 people of interest they are saying that they are completely lost!
it’s crazy how this case managed to arrive even to me, in italy… really hope they found something, it’s been haunting me since i watched her episode on disappeared
19:13 "Because who in their right mind would confess to a murder that they didn't do?" I'm not sure which is the bigger error of presumption in that question, the part where he gives that monster credit for being in his "right mind," or the part where it never occurred to him that maybe the reason the details sounded so plausible was because it was an actual description of somebody else's murder that either was unsolved or the victim's body was never even recovered from its watery grave.
I hope nobody lies about how my smile lit up a room when I'm gone...."the couple people who knew her expressed shock that the killer even gave her a second glance. In a room full of people, no one knew who she was or what she was doing there, if they even noticed her at all"
Dude, True Crime Daily has GOT to be aware of the “her smile could light up a room” by now. I mean they have to know. They just said her smile alone could light up the vast planes of central Texas.
I’ve lived in Austin for 20+ years, I remember the billboards with her name and face. I think some of them might still be up, maybe the last one I saw was only a few years ago. Her face was everywhere.
I can almost smell the smoke coming out of everyone's ears. Stories like this one really gets those gears turning in the mind. It's one of those things that can drive you crazy.
I think it’s really ignorant for them to have allowed that prisoner who said that he did it to make a plea of guilty without him telling them where he hid the body
I'm glad my smile doesnt light up a room, could actually be the only reason I am alive

I guess you missed the point he LOVES what he does. SMH..........................................
She was so pretty & vivacious and ambitious. Her boyfriend was quite cute too, they were definitely a power couple. They rocked the 90s & early 2000s looks. Poor dear. I feel for her former boyfriend and famil members. :( I hope she did not suffer much.
Lol good looks get you far
"My wife won the lottery, but I get to partake in that."
Legendary quote.
Her aunt worked at my Highschool she wore a pen on her shirt everyday with a picture of Rachel on it.
Heartbreaking
I'll never understand how people just vanish without a trace. I know it happens, I don't know how nobody sees anything. Especially in the light of day. God bless the family. I don't think I could live not knowing what happened to my child.
@@rickyrick5586 Seriously!! 😏
*Lainy* exactly I know it happens. But it blows my mind. And I agree I don’t know how I could live my life without knowing what happened to my child. Every day would be hell for me
@@desireeowens7750 yes honey I couldn't handle that! No way!
I'd vanish with lainy ...😊
@@SCOOBYDOOBY664 lol! 🤣
I hope everyone has a safe holidays this year!
I cried when they talked about the father failing the polygraph because he knew his daughter was in heaven. I can't imagine knowing in my heart that my child is dead, and still finding the motivation to continue searching. Powerful.
1:45 "Rachel was a Lone Star Stunner".
NONSENSE!!! There's only one Lone Star Stunner. His name is:
STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN (Glass Shatters)
😂 liiiit 🙌
Nice 🍻
Yupppp!!!!
I’m seriously sobbing. This is extremely heartbreaking. God Bless and guide that family to closure.
In the beginning they mention a guy sees her who is working on a house foundation. I thought that was suspicious.
Rachelle Petersen She’s probably buried in the foundation of that house
@@vlinnnder u are so correct... or the police have some involvement!!!👍
jamie Hunter Exactly!!
@@vlinnnder Probably is a classic weasel-word, and in this context is totally meaningless...
André Linoge So i guess you know exactly what happened then, right? You should be working for the local police force!
I lived a mile from her and my brother lives one block over. I remember being at his house that day and right after we left, cops swarmed the neighborhood. My brother talked to police and said he heard a scream.
Found the killer guys. We did it.
@@Nezsem where is the update
@@wethufanfics3693 they are just trolling
@@screechingonions2365 Thanks for letting me know that
😭
Did she lock the house when she left? Mostly likely the killer was waiting in the house or garage until she returned from her run.
Good point....I bet the cops never even put that one together...
Good point
Gosh...I remember when this happened. I grew up in gtown. I remember my parent's being terrified when this happened. They still have photo of her all over town. So sad....
so sad
I was born and raised in Austin, and I remember this case. So sad.
Same. I have family in Georgetown too this case is so sad.
I grew up in Georgetown, lived there until 2009. It is too big now and the crime rate is spilling over from Austin.
2 young girls in my town just went missing recently
Everyone is really scaried and tense this year and you can see it and feel it
Mason Fandom 😫😫😫🥺🥺😢
😔
Same in Boston
I will never understand why ppl think they have the right to end someone else’s life!
Same reason men cheat. Because they can get away with it and not face consequences
@@niamphdollieofficial
That's a sexist comment if I've ever heard one. I didn't know men were the only ones cheating and killing.
Went directly to the comment section to check for “smile that lights up the room” comments
Or smile that lights up the vast plain comments
So he killed one pregnant woman before and some how he was wondering on street so he kill again
So we’re no longer lighting up rooms with her smile..now it’s the entire goddamn central plains??
Platoon 2114 YUP EXACTLY....
🙄🙄🙄
🤣😅😂
@@rachels2cents325
You've got to admit that she was pretty, sad that she was never found, hopefully one day her loved ones will get closure.
@@oilyoily2959 pretty is an overstatement
J T I bet you are a prize.
Construction workers don’t get background checked.. Don’t go running around rural construction sites ladies.
Right
Sorry but i am general contractor, that is broad and messed up statement. On my jobs. Everybody gets a background check. And if they fail. They do not work for me.
I work as a contractor and have had to go through at least 3 background checks a year. I’m sure a lot fall through the cracks but most reputable companies do criminal checks
@@TenilleLandy
Good to know.
Wow her sister is absolutely gorgeous too... at 12:20-22 she looks so much like her. That has gotta be tough on a parent to get glimpse of what you're missing in your other child. 😭
Im glad I have no friends. This is my main survival tactic.
a friend could notice you are gone
everything has it’s pros and cons
Yeah, most people nowadays suck.
This is such a heartbreaking tragedy. My heart aches for the family & Rachel’s boyfriend. I hope they find answers & get some degree of closure.
Can’t stand this lady that tells the story. So over sensationalized and overdramatized. Like being yelled at. Just tell the story!!!
@Carol Elizabeth....yeah, I don’t particularly like her either, but the show is so addictive. Luckily, she doesn’t narrate all of the cases.
@@taydestiny38 😂 It's my only relief that she doesn't narrate all the episodes. I normally just skip. Her lowkey shouting is not relaxing at all. You just want to murder a drink!
I totally agree. She’s so annoying with that voice. And saying dumb things like she “lit up the central Texas prairie” or whatever. (Huge eye roll)
Come on guys! This is extremely heartbreaking! May God keep you all safe for the holidays and give strength to the families of the missing!
Sending my best regards to her family
If a person fails a polygraph, doesnt automatically mean hes the killer/abductor just that he may know
Plus a person does get nervous, they are being questioned by police
So his nerves hit him for only one question? If your theory were true, he’d probably fail more than just one .
man the boyfriend seems depressed and those eye bags prove it
I wonder if he really left Texas to go back to San Diego like they said...or waited around to kill her. Motive maybe was that she was flirting with ex boyfriend at that party, not fighting, like he said....???
@@TLeiph I don't think for a second that her boyfriend did it. The fact that her father failed a polygraph test is pretty suspish though
@Victoria McBride - he failed one polygraph question, not the entire test.
When I was younger I was out walking a 4 mile track on backroads by my home. I’d never gone down this ravel road but decided to. This guy leaves from a sketchy house in his truck and drives by me, no big deal. But then a few minutes later he comes back towards me. Creeped me out. I feel like had I not had my big dog, I may have been abducted. This story takes me back.
The mother left her husband because he had become “too obsessed” with finding their daughter???
She lost a few “sympathy points” from me with that one...
She left him because she knew that that "believing she's in heaven" line was some BS🤨🤨
And he wasn't treating her right.
It's extremely common when a child dies/goes missing. Everyone grieves differently, and it sounds like the fathers obsession with finding his daughter - while completely justified- turned him into a bitter man towards his wife. He maybe felt like she "just didn't care about their daughter as much as him" if she was wanting to move on to the best of her ability. It's sad, but so many couples separate after losing a child. It completely changes your personality and you aren't always compatible with your spouse after that :(
@@amwlanier Well said. Thanks
You ever think she needs to separate as she said cuz it's so sad for her too & can't hear it everyday of her life!!!!!!!! She obviously already thinks about it everyday of her life!
This is so crazy. Another woman disappeared like this too. Not even close to related to this case outside of that. But I say that to say this. They found out later it was a teenage boy that grew up with the girls older brother and lived across the street from her. He had also sexually assaulted her. So it would seem to me to disappear so close to home and not have a suspect means obviously it's someone close to home that no one subconsciously sees as a threat. Someone with a sexual deviancy and probably a young adult Male that knows her. This is so unfortunate that these trained police would rather believe in an alien abduction than the obvious. That one of their own Georgetown residents is a rapist and murderer. Wouldn't doubt for a second if it was an official's child.
jane doe - I thought the same thing! I also believe it's someone in that community that knew her and her family. There are just too many factors at play.
@@sisu413 exactly sis! Now tell me this....if two none police officials can put this together for a suspect. Why couldnt they? Cause they have no motivation or incentive for doing so. I hate the corruption of this world. And I hate that people blame some entity for the free will decisions that real life humans make daily in regards to taking a life they didnt create. No there is a special place for those who choose to go against God and what is natural
@@cibinomin6540 maybe you just need to read the Bible
I always come and watch these to get new pickup lines. 5 seconds in and they didn't disappoint!
If we started public hangings like they did in the old days, people might think twice about doing sick things to other people, this is so sad
The single biggest threat to your life..."lighting up a house with your simile🙂"..y'all better not smile at ALL!🤬
Seriously!! 😏😏🤔
owlie alim EXACTLY.....
I ACTUALLY HAVE A RESTING BITCH FACE SO I'M GOOD......
😉😉😉
Makes sense though doesn’t it. Losers who chose someone to murder will notice someone pretty and lively just like the rest of us. Maybe being boring and pointing out the same fact about these videos eeeeevery single tiiiiimmmeee is the way to stay safe.
What's wrong with lighting up a room with a *simile*? A good like or as can get the party started.
@Vincent Cuttolo no one will get our jokes once the original post edits it. Lol. Here's a simile for the topic: I like up a room like a murder victim. What's your metaphor?
"This lightening up a room expression " has me walking around with a frown. People be vigilant if you see something that can help someone help them because the direction the world is heading in we or our love ones will be needing help as well.
YES! Please whatever you do, do NOT light up a room with your smile!!!
Prayers Going Out To The Family Always
Such a sad sad story like far too many others ): Be aware of your surroundings and prepared to protect yourself always. No matter how comfortable you are with where you are. My prayers to Rachel’s family..
Extremely breaks my heart about the family not getting justice.
i lost my 2yrs old son Leicester square in London for 5 min. That was the longest and unbearable 5 min in my life not knowing where he was. Luckily his father found him staying next to the tree crying for momma. can’t imagine the pain her family goes through.
The secret is NEVER light up the room or have a contagious smile. Be safe girls🙏🏻
She looks just like Candace Cameron, wow. So sad.
In cases like these, relatives, boyfriends and ex-boyfriends are the first to be investigated. But as it turned out, none of this was done seriously. When the police say they have 100 people of interest they are saying that they are completely lost!
Glad my smile doesn't light up stuff, never ends well.
So true! The other sign is that 'things like this never happen in this neighbourhood'....
My smile is the only thing I have going for me. Convinced I'll be disappeared or murdered now.
Kaitlin Shaw and I can put out lights in a 1,000 sq ft house with my gloomy stare
I wholeheartedly agree
There are thousands of bodies That had been discovered but kept as John/Jane doe. Most of the time it’s the link that’s missing
Remember the legend do not thank me I wouldn’t move a finger for you not even the middle one
True my brother was murderer 7_4_1980. And was 13 tears later we find him under john doe
Sylvia Rivas I’m sorry for your loss. At least your family had finally closure
Prayers for this sweet family!I pray justice be served !In Jesus Name Amen!
Sex trafficking patterns on so many of these that disappear
Debby Zabriskie that was my first thought...sadly.
The father truly loved his daughter......can clearly see it in his eyes. I hope this family gets closure on day soon.
it’s crazy how this case managed to arrive even to me, in italy… really hope they found something, it’s been haunting me since i watched her episode on disappeared
19:13 "Because who in their right mind would confess to a murder that they didn't do?" I'm not sure which is the bigger error of presumption in that question, the part where he gives that monster credit for being in his "right mind," or the part where it never occurred to him that maybe the reason the details sounded so plausible was because it was an actual description of somebody else's murder that either was unsolved or the victim's body was never even recovered from its watery grave.
HUUUUUGE amount of respect for that sheriff 👊Get it! You're amazing 😍
I hope nobody lies about how my smile lit up a room when I'm gone...."the couple people who knew her expressed shock that the killer even gave her a second glance. In a room full of people, no one knew who she was or what she was doing there, if they even noticed her at all"
Tiffany Smith lmao sounds like my life
@@theangryitalian7922 at least I'm not alone then...j/k I still am
🤣🤣🤣
Tiffany Smith you’re not alone :)
This!
She had to been kidnapped or something. I remembered her going missing like it was yesterday.
I’m so scared to exercise outside because of stories like this 😢. I hope she is found!
The poor mother.
Dude, True Crime Daily has GOT to be aware of the “her smile could light up a room” by now. I mean they have to know. They just said her smile alone could light up the vast planes of central Texas.
Luke Cole its obnoxious now
Yeah, when I heard that I thought they have to be messing with us.
I’ve lived in Austin for 20+ years, I remember the billboards with her name and face. I think some of them might still be up, maybe the last one I saw was only a few years ago. Her face was everywhere.
They even had billboards out here in California
The family"s grief is so profound that it saddened me, deeply. Prayers and thoughts don't work. But know that we grieve WITH YOU.
I can almost smell the smoke coming out of everyone's ears. Stories like this one really gets those gears turning in the mind. It's one of those things that can drive you crazy.
First mistake .
The smile that lit up an entire state.
I think it’s really ignorant for them to have allowed that prisoner who said that he did it to make a plea of guilty without him telling them where he hid the body
So glad I don’t light up a room when I enter one.
I'm so happy her disappearance is on crime watch daily!!! Her story gives me such chills 💔 hope the family gets closure.
It has now been almost 19 years since her disappearance and yet no news on her whereabouts. This is truly a mystery.
