Why is nobody talking about the ritualistic letters ,sticks, horns, the pre-cutwood? I truly believe that the weapon was a stick.😢 on the tree above their head in their blood was written (hail Odin)😮😢
I am very disturbed by all the pretense in a case that has been ravaged and scavenged by so many. I wish scruples still led reporting. It makes me so sad. 😢
Thank you for not sugar coating or mincing any words in regard to the girls’ wounds. I’m sorry that you and others have to see that, but like you said, it’s important that the truth gets to all of us and we know what happened to those beautiful angels.
Well said. If we look away from the horrors in humanity; we minimize the depth of the dark abyss and how a family, a community, law enforcement, and so many others, are forever impacted and harmed.
The trial attendees have to see the pictures but the girls had to experience what made them. That’s why we have to have the guts to look. For their sake.
Tell your sketching friend thank you!!! Her art and style are top notch! Also I am a morbidly curious person to a point. I’ve seen many crime scene photos, but this is one I don’t think I could handle. The sketches are perfect with enough detail to understand what happened but not too much detail where you get sick to your stomach. ❤❤
I remember seeing crime scene pics of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman recently and I never fully grasped the horror involved in their deaths until I did. That said I couldn’t handle seeing children, no way.
@@TriskeleSunI can not imagine being the mama having to see these horrific pictures. God bless them. I am a retired RN, I have seen many wounds, etc. But, I never saw wounds inflicted by an evil monster.
@@aaronmurdoch7362 I agree, I think the worst I’ve seen Are the Tate crime photos. Children? So very hard, bless their hearts, The fear is unimaginable!
I can't begin to imagine how hard today was for the families,and all of you. I used to be a bailiff in the criminal courts in marion county indiana and had to sit in on trials alot. I know how hard it is to not take it home with you and let it consume your thoughts and emotions. You are doing an amazing service and a wonderful job at telling these young ladies last day here on earth. You are being as delicate as you can be and being very respectful. Take care of your mental health in all of this. And thank you again. See you at lunch tomorrow 🫶
@@amystone6511 Amen please ask our heavenly Father help you and these beautiful young angels family get through this horror ordeal our thoughts and prayers are Everyone involved in this matter,may these beautiful Angels fly free forever in our hearts....😢🙏😞❤️😥🙏😇🙏😇❤️
I can tell it has affected you deeply, Lauren. I’m so sorry. Thank you for telling their story. I hope they convict the right person for this terrible, horrific double murder. May God be with the families as they go through this trauma
So I stopped following this case because I'm not sure they have the people who did this personally my opinion only, I think there was so many collosal mess ups in this horrific case 😭😭😭. But Lauren brings such honor in reporting this I am checking it out again.... It's so sad.
I am very disturbed by all the pretense in a case that has been ravaged and scavenged by so many. I wish scruples still led reporting. It makes me so sad. 😢
Lauren don’t underestimate the trauma you have encounter. You can’t unsee this stuff and writing plus sketching has put it into a deeper memory base in your own brain. Seek Counceling before you see issues in your own life. You do so much for us. Many thanks for providing the truth.
The sketch artist friend of yours did an amazing job!! I am so glad we get to see these sketches bc it really helps to understand what happened. Thank you so very much!!
@Hiddentruecrime, thank you for this video. Please take care of yourself. This is so hard just to listen to your recap for everyone. Prayers for all listening. Spread love and Not hate.
It so is. Whoever did it is super depraved and must have daydreamed about it for years or maybe his whole adult life. I believe it's referred to as fantasizing. Can you even imagine thinking about killing young children? No, of course not. I do believe it to be Richard Allen.
Or human beings plural. It is so awful. It’s also really weird to me that so far, no one has described a person that sounds like Richard Allen and also super weird is that NOONE has pointed to him to say that he was who they saw either. I’m super doubtful about it being him and these sweet baby girls deserve true justice. 😢
I really appreciate your coverage of this trial, Lauren. It is so important that this trial is exposed to public scrutiny. Despite Judge Gull's restrictions, you are one of the few channels that can provide objective information. Thank you so much.
I guess I am preaching to the choir I am grateful for this woman's work and commitment. She don't opinionate outside deciphering translation. Very ethical. The way I would want important information. There are alot of rogue nonsense channels claiming the same degree of respect but are very far off the mark. This channel is in the big leagues. I am so grateful she came into my feed the algorithm sent me a lot of vultures first. I am not sure why. The dichotomy of them and Hidden True Crime was far and vast. I know I am in the right place. The timing will always be right. She is honorable and worthy of support.
My daughter was murdered and i do wish people knew the details so that they would be shocked into possibly making changes in policy or law or maybe their lives.
I’ve experienced a dead zone (no signal) while texting with someone many times. During that period I was not able to receive any texts from the person I was texting with. I was able to send texts but they wouldn’t deliver. Once I passed through the dead zone, I immediately received all the texts that were sent to me while I was riding as a passenger through the dead zone. Additionally, my texts were delivered as well. The time stamped was the time that I received the messages - not the time that they were actually sent to me. I don’t understand how that phone data expert was not able to explain how it was possible to receive all those texts at once. The fact that many messages were received at once should’ve been a tell tale sign to him that at some point they had lost the signal which later came back (4:30 am)
I've been watching you for awhile now and I'm always super impressed to how great this channel is! The work you and Dr John do is amazing! Your my go to channel for true crime! Again thank you for all yo do. And how professional this channel is!
Thank you so much for your dedication to sharing the information about this case. You are very respectful and professional and I think your work is very important toward transparency and justice for the girls and frankly society. So many of us are invested in justice for them. ♥️ I have been following your updates closely and am so impressed by you camping out, taking such detailed notes and updating us with the live lunches and recaps at night all while you are on no sleep. Thank you 🙏🙏
Lauren you are so sweet it's clear you are doing everything you can do to share with us and make sure we don't miss out anything so we can all together as a collective community get justice for those girls and decide for ourselves what we think happened.
People gawking online are NOT helping. You are using the murder of children for entertainment. At least be honest. You can argue that journalists are helping. The general public listening to the details at home with some popcorn are helping no one. Human curiosity is natural, but let's not pretend to be heroes here. I bet the victims' families would prefer we weren't gossiping about their dead children. And yes, this discussion is speculation and gossip.
Lauren has been on this case from the start. So glad you can be as in court as you are. This is a moment in your life that is absolutely meaningful. The girls deserve your determination. Stay the course. 🥇🎖️🏆
I think the explanation for the texts coming in all at once is simple. I’ve gone camping before with bad service and when I got into a good area, multiple texts came through all at once. This has happened to me many times. I don’t think there’s much more to it. Also, I think the failed fingerprint unlock was just Libby’s own hand. Say she started recording the video at 2:13, it filmed for 43 seconds and finished at 2:14. Bridge guy has approached by that point so she tried to hide her phone. The screen goes black and she was probably holding it with her palm and the phone detected is an unlock attempt.
I don't usually comment, but have to express that I have so much respect and appreciation for you witnessing the trial so we can have an unbiased account of what is happening. The lack of transparency will forever taint the verdict, no matter the outcome. You're helping to correct the judge's decision to try this case in the shadows. ❤😢 May there be justice for Abby and Libby and healing for their families.
I work nights. Every night when I get off work your live upload is the first thing I watch. I really appreciate your updates! Again, thank you for all you do! ❤🙏
Every night when you get off work? .. uhmm, don’t you mean ‘morning’? Hahaha 😆 😝 Jk .. I worked nights for many years. I am playing with you. Sleep well!!
I’m so grateful for you and your tenacity.. thank you!! This is extremely difficult but, I feel, so important to see with our eyes. Plz thank your artist friend too♥️ Sending you all healing energy, this hurts ones soul.
Lauren...you really are incredible! I was trying to picture my own self taking notes in court and...well, I know I couldn't do what you are doing so thank you for working so hard! I am enthralled with this case and it is SO great to hear it all from you. Thank You. Be well.
I am a fan and a devoted listener. I wanted to say thank you for sharing the trial info with us. I am also retired LEO. I have been to many scenes and I know the toll it takes on our mind and body. It’s not easy. Please take care of yourself and know that we care about you.
Thank you for sharing your experience. The impact on all professionals involved in dealing with violent crime, child abuse, and these hard cases, is so profound and maintaining some distance and your mental health is a constant challenge. Victims of violent crime attorney here…you step in hard and then you’ve got find a way to step back when the work is done. Only those of us who climb into the dark abyss know the toll…
i love you and your description’s of the witness’s. Thank you for all your hard work and for your lives you made me feel like there were cameras in the court room. your work is spot on very much appreciated. thanks again from NY
would love to see you and Dr. John do a joint show with his opinions of the autopsy based on like positions in the targeting aspect etc. what he thinks now.
Thank you so very much for bringing this trial to us. They have made it very difficult for you all, having to stand in line in the wee hours of the AM in the free zone cold, no chance to get lunch, having to hand write every thing, etc. You are so appreciated !
Thank you, Lauren💖 for your work. You’re the best to be given report and summary of what you have heard and seen, athe whole picture of what is going on in Court. Not a missing thing! And no one’s cutting you off of any reasoning as been seen to often before. Now you even tells us if something is going on and that is surprising to me. Loves it when telling us about Dr John is calling and even what he supposedly wants💖 It’s so amazing as you are talking with us as friends and want to know all just to giving us a detailed picture how it is You make me feel good 🙏 So close but far away at the same time. Painting the picture about your experience of what’s it means to be there. Your heart and mind is there in court as much as the price you all have to pay to get any chance to get in and having a sit. You even share your feeling about how to sit in this environment. Can keep on and on ……trying to give back a little piece to you Just to express .but my words are not enough , missing grammatical mistakes and so on. Wishes I learned much more than I did before in scholar education. ……unfortunately I wanted to see the world much more🫢 not very differently It’s through communication we are all learning much more than any scholar lesson could have
Thank you so much for all your hard work and professionalism as you cover this case. I'm so angry and I can't imagine what the families are going through. 😢😢😢
Lauren…you are such a lovely lady, so kind…so very kind, it’s fabulous to see strong professional ladies that retain the humility and gratitude of their position and indeed life, you’ve not allowed this to harden your heart ❤️…as someone that works in this field Iv struggled greatly of late discussing the ‘box cutter’ with those that may not fully appreciate how this Vs biological material could be more than capable to cause such catastrophic injuries, the power used behind the weapon is often underestimated…your reporting is excellent, I would want my darlings to have someone like you if it was ever required…thank you for being that person xx
And it was an attempt at a “biometric”phone unlock, which would mean either thumb or face (not sure if facial recognition was available in 2017 for iPhones yet). Could possibly be the moment she was overtaken.
Hi Lauren, You are an incredible journalist!! Not only are you having to adhere to extremely difficult conditions with your schedule but all of the note taking you have to do and sketching involved. You are doing an awesome job Lauren….and the gruesome content you are reporting on has got to be difficult. THANK YOU from a grateful viewer/follower!!🙏💕🌸🌻👍🏻🤗
These poor girls. This must have been so terrifying. I always told my daughter and the other women in my life to never allow someone to take her to a secondary location. even if a gun is pointed at you. scream, fight and run. There's only one reason someone wants to take you somewhere private. To do something horrible to you.
Such an important thing to remind each other of frequently because you’ve got to have that mental commitment before confronted with a fear situation. You need preparation and almost an auto-response to force in the moment the “Do what you’re going to right here and now. “. I lived adjacent to where Israel Keyes abducted Samatha Koenig…the video broke my heart, he led her compliantly across one of the busiest roads and intersections in Anchorage….and this is only one example of so many horrific others.
The problem with them screaming on that side of the bridge is that you can’t run across the bridge…you have to walk very carefully. I think that’s part of why he chose that location to abduct. Since the trail ends, it wouldn’t be easy to run, and they certainly couldn’t turn back around and RUN across that bridge. How scary. I really don’t know what I would have done if I was in their situation.
Libby would have had to log into her snap chat account on someone else’s phone to be able to send a pic from their device. That is completely unreasonable to do during an abduction…I don’t think that would be her priority at that time.
Lauren: ever and always my heroine for compassionate but thorough objective reporting. You and Dr. John are rockstars in the breadth, thoughtfulness, and intellectual range of your coverage. Thank you!
Thank you, Lauren. How horrific! Thank you for your transparency and honesty. I am grateful for you sharing with us. Take care of yourself. It’s unbearable.
Wow this case is a difficult one to follow the emotions I'm feeling over all of this information is difficult. I take my hat off to Lauren for all her reporting and the strength and courage it takes to do such a difficult job. Thank You so much.
Thank you for being there Lauren. It has to be devastating for all of you, especially the families. I so appreciate your concise coverage and your dedication to Abby and Libby. ♥️♥️♥️
I just spoke to my techie husband about the cell phone issue. He reminded me that after a drop on my phone, the solder connecting the receiver was damaged, and only by pressing on my phone in a certain location could I receive messages and calls. If Libby's phone was damaged, say as they slid down the hill or if the phone fell out of Libby's pocket and hit a rock while the assailant re-dressed Abby, then maybe that solder connection was loosened and just natural settling from Abby or the phone itself, reconnected the receiver and all the messages/calls downloaded before the phone shutdown. Since the first thing CSI does is put the phone into airplane mode, they may have missed the damaged connection.
PLEASE READ LAUREN! 💕🫶🏼🤟🏼 Thank you so much for doing all of this "old school extra hard work" for us on top of having to do it at such a sad and emotional trial because I can tell that you as a person are very sympathetic and empathetic. I feel like there's times that I see you holding back in your voice and in your eyes tears were you just want to cry and talk to us while you're sobbing, but you hold yourself together like such a professional, that you are! 💐💐 Those flowers there are from Abby and Libby to you for all that you're doing for them! 💗
My God u do such a great job reporting!! I love catching this post--everybody in the world is reporting on this trial, Idw anything to do w those other channels lol I keep urs Lauren, u do so good! Tyvm for the sacrifice of sleep uv made, I appreciate ya! Tv😊
💜💜💙💙 On behalf of all of us, thank you for your videos and the dedication you’ve taken to this trial. I live not far from Delphi and have followed the case since they were reported missing. I remember holding my six month old daughter and sobbing for the girls’ families. I hope justice is served for this 7 year nightmare and for these young girls. Thank you. God bless. 💙💜
You are an amazing reporter! I appreciate you so much, every day I look for your coverage on this trial. It is hands down the most thorough reporting, while also being the most respectful. Thank you Lauren ♥️ great job. Hope you can get some sleep, take care of yourself while doing this difficult work.
Thank you for this ❤ It’s so important for people to know the truth about what happened. The sketches were amazingly done and educational. Im hearing your voice crack as u speak and Im so sad. Please take care of yourself! This is so traumatic.
Thank you Lauren. I hope you are taking care of your mental health as well. I can't imagine the toll this is taking on you. Just know we greatly appreciate your professionalism and compassion. If you need to take a break, we all understand. Sending lots of love❤
I think Abby was killed first and once Libby saw that I believe she might have put up some kind of fight. So sad and horrific. Also if the killer had more interest in Libby it makes sense that Abby’s wound seemed to be quicker and cleaner. And very smart of these girl to hide the cell phone and turn the silencer on.
I thought about that possibility. The medical examiner stated it could have been done with only 1 weapon. Knives or anything used to cut flesh dulls very quickly from what I've learned watching other cases. I was wondering if he did kill Abby first and whatever was used to cut/ slash was not as sharp and it caused more damage? I'm surprised this hasn't come up in testimony. Was he saying something about a box cutter? I have watched an interview of a child thrill killer and he was describing how fast his knife went dull as he was trying to dismember a homeless man by killed. 😞. How can people do this type of brutality? Rip Libby and Abby ❤❤
I think Libby was the target..she had more wounds & was left unclothed.. Too weird that she talked to Keegan Kline, convicted of child porn, the day before & this is brutally murdered shortly after that..coincidence??
The sketches your friend did were so tastefully done, yet were still so powerful in getting the information and depravity across
You’re right; I agree. I also feel there was compassion in her relaying the information.
Why is nobody talking about the ritualistic letters ,sticks, horns, the pre-cutwood? I truly believe that the weapon was a stick.😢 on the tree above their head in their blood was written (hail Odin)😮😢

I am very disturbed by all the pretense in a case that has been ravaged and scavenged by so many. I wish scruples still led reporting. It makes me so sad. 😢

How could a human being do this to such young, beautiful children? Horrific
It so is. Whoever did it is super depraved and must have daydreamed about it for years or maybe his whole adult life. I believe it's referred to as fantasizing. Can you even imagine thinking about killing young children? No, of course not. I do believe it to be Richard Allen.
So tragic and horrific.
To be able to do this shows that you are in fact not a human, but a monster.
This comes from a darkness we can never understand; which is why it’s so important that we realize it exists….violence isn’t like the movies.

I didn’t realize Libby’s neck wounds were vertical . . . I feel faint thinking about how she suffered.
I'm so glad I came across your page. Best reporting. My heart hurts for the whole family.
I’m so grateful for you and your tenacity.. thank you!! This is extremely difficult but, I feel, so important to see with our eyes. Plz thank your artist friend too♥️ Sending you all healing energy, this hurts ones soul.
Lauren...you really are incredible! I was trying to picture my own self taking notes in court and...well, I know I couldn't do what you are doing so thank you for working so hard! I am enthralled with this case and it is SO great to hear it all from you. Thank You. Be well.
I am a fan and a devoted listener. I wanted to say thank you for sharing the trial info with us. I am also retired LEO. I have been to many scenes and I know the toll it takes on our mind and body. It’s not easy. Please take care of yourself and know that we care about you.
Thank you for sharing your experience. The impact on all professionals involved in dealing with violent crime, child abuse, and these hard cases, is so profound and maintaining some distance and your mental health is a constant challenge. Victims of violent crime attorney here…you step in hard and then you’ve got find a way to step back when the work is done. Only those of us who climb into the dark abyss know the toll…
@@summawriters106 well said ❤️
i love you and your description’s of the witness’s. Thank you for all your hard work and for your lives you made me feel like there were cameras in the court room. your work is spot on very much appreciated. thanks again from NY
would love to see you and Dr. John do a joint show with his opinions of the autopsy based on like positions in the targeting aspect etc. what he thinks now.
Yes. I agree.
Ditto.
I agree. His take on "why' was fascinating. I did Greek mythology at school and I found it so interesting I also learned Latin.
Thank you so very much for bringing this trial to us. They have made it very difficult for you all, having to stand in line in the wee hours of the AM in the free zone cold, no chance to get lunch, having to hand write every thing, etc. You are so appreciated !
Thank you, Lauren💖 for your work. You’re the best to be given report and summary of what you have heard and seen, athe whole picture of what is going on in Court. Not a missing thing! And no one’s cutting you off of any reasoning as been seen to often before. Now you even tells us if something is going on and that is surprising to me. Loves it when telling us about Dr John is calling and even what he supposedly wants💖
It’s so amazing as you are talking with us as friends and want to know all just to giving us a detailed picture how it is
You make me feel good 🙏 So close but far away at the same time.
Painting the picture about your experience of what’s it means to be there. Your heart and mind is there in court as much as the price you all have to pay to get any chance to get in and having a sit. You even share your feeling about how to sit in this environment.
Can keep on and on ……trying to give back a little piece to you
Just to express .but my words are not enough , missing grammatical mistakes and so on.
Wishes I learned much more than I did before in scholar education. ……unfortunately I wanted to see the world much more🫢 not very differently
It’s through communication we are all learning
much more than any scholar lesson could have
Thank you, Lauren for doing such a great job with all the details. What a rough day with the autopsy results.
Thanks!
You’re such a great reporter!!
Thank you for your outstanding presentation. I know it had to be very difficult to see the photos there in court.
Lauren.... amazing, simply awesome, my friend. Thank you for your dedication, we are all so grateful to you. Rest peacefully sweet Abby and Libby 💙💜💙💜
Thank you so much for all your hard work and professionalism as you cover this case. I'm so angry and I can't imagine what the families are going through. 😢😢😢
Thank you for keeping us updated.
Lauren…you are such a lovely lady, so kind…so very kind, it’s fabulous to see strong professional ladies that retain the humility and gratitude of their position and indeed life, you’ve not allowed this to harden your heart ❤️…as someone that works in this field Iv struggled greatly of late discussing the ‘box cutter’ with those that may not fully appreciate how this Vs biological material could be more than capable to cause such catastrophic injuries, the power used behind the weapon is often underestimated…your reporting is excellent, I would want my darlings to have someone like you if it was ever required…thank you for being that person xx
Thank you Lauren for showing up and doing a good job taking notes and sharing with us.
Lauren how ru managing! You’re so dedicated and doing amazing! Thank you for all you do! Free therapeutic massages for life in Oregon for you!!
Great coverage Lauren! Thank you so much for doing this for us. I know this is not easy!
💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
Thanks so much Lauren for your commitment to this difficult but important task. We appreciate all you do ❤
She tried to unlock the phone without bridge guy noticing, likely to call for help, and failed. It's so tragic.
And it was an attempt at a “biometric”phone unlock, which would mean either thumb or face (not sure if facial recognition was available in 2017 for iPhones yet). Could possibly be the moment she was overtaken.
So heartbreaking.
Your doing an excellent job👍🏼
Hi Lauren,
You are an incredible journalist!! Not only are you having to adhere to extremely difficult conditions with your schedule but all of the note taking
you have to do and sketching involved. You are doing an awesome job Lauren….and the gruesome content you are reporting on has got to be difficult. THANK YOU from a grateful viewer/follower!!🙏💕🌸🌻👍🏻🤗
These poor girls. This must have been so terrifying. I always told my daughter and the other women in my life to never allow someone to take her to a secondary location. even if a gun is pointed at you. scream, fight and run. There's only one reason someone wants to take you somewhere private. To do something horrible to you.
I agree. Scream at the top of your voice.
Such an important thing to remind each other of frequently because you’ve got to have that mental commitment before confronted with a fear situation. You need preparation and almost an auto-response to force in the moment the “Do what you’re going to right here and now. “. I lived adjacent to where Israel Keyes abducted Samatha Koenig…the video broke my heart, he led her compliantly across one of the busiest roads and intersections in Anchorage….and this is only one example of so many horrific others.
5:54 this is while driving she saw allll of this?
The problem with them screaming on that side of the bridge is that you can’t run across the bridge…you have to walk very carefully. I think that’s part of why he chose that location to abduct. Since the trail ends, it wouldn’t be easy to run, and they certainly couldn’t turn back around and RUN across that bridge. How scary. I really don’t know what I would have done if I was in their situation.
Libby would have had to log into her snap chat account on someone else’s phone to be able to send a pic from their device. That is completely unreasonable to do during an abduction…I don’t think that would be her priority at that time.
Thank you for this coverage I appreciate it
You are doing an amazing job remembering so much. Thank you for all your hard work and time.
Lauren: ever and always my heroine for compassionate but thorough objective reporting. You and Dr. John are rockstars in the breadth, thoughtfulness, and intellectual range of your coverage. Thank you!
Appreciate all of the info you're sharing with us♥️
Thank you, Lauren. How horrific! Thank you for your transparency and honesty. I am grateful for you sharing with us. Take care of yourself. It’s unbearable.
Thanks
48:58 Don't feel self concious about these clear illustrations. This is great. The level of detail is very greatly appreciated.
Wow this case is a difficult one to follow the emotions I'm feeling over all of this information is difficult. I take my hat off to Lauren for all her reporting and the strength and courage it takes to do such a difficult job. Thank You so much.
Lauren, thank you so much for your dedication to getting the most accurate and informative for your viewers. ❤❤
Thank you for being there Lauren. It has to be devastating for all of you, especially the families. I so appreciate your concise coverage and your dedication to Abby and Libby. ♥️♥️♥️
I just spoke to my techie husband about the cell phone issue. He reminded me that after a drop on my phone, the solder connecting the receiver was damaged, and only by pressing on my phone in a certain location could I receive messages and calls. If Libby's phone was damaged, say as they slid down the hill or if the phone fell out of Libby's pocket and hit a rock while the assailant re-dressed Abby, then maybe that solder connection was loosened and just natural settling from Abby or the phone itself, reconnected the receiver and all the messages/calls downloaded before the phone shutdown. Since the first thing CSI does is put the phone into airplane mode, they may have missed the damaged connection.
Thank you Lauren! Your hard work is appreciated! Be safe! ❤️
I wish Sarah would've called the. Cops
Yes
She sounded like a second hand knowledge witness using what she saw on news to make up a report, no amber alert was ever even put out
If you see something say something (but quickly!)
If she really saw blood, don't we think she would've??
Yes I don't believe her whatsoever
PLEASE READ LAUREN!
💕🫶🏼🤟🏼 Thank you so much for doing all of this "old school extra hard work" for us on top of having to do it at such a sad and emotional trial because I can tell that you as a person are very sympathetic and empathetic. I feel like there's times that I see you holding back in your voice and in your eyes tears were you just want to cry and talk to us while you're sobbing, but you hold yourself together like such a professional, that you are! 💐💐 Those flowers there are from Abby and Libby to you for all that you're doing for them! 💗
My God u do such a great job reporting!! I love catching this post--everybody in the world is reporting on this trial, Idw anything to do w those other channels lol I keep urs Lauren, u do so good! Tyvm for the sacrifice of sleep uv made, I appreciate ya! Tv😊

Omg im so so glad youre able to cover this from the court room!!! I admire you so much for your dedication.
💜💜💙💙 On behalf of all of us, thank you for your videos and the dedication you’ve taken to this trial. I live not far from Delphi and have followed the case since they were reported missing. I remember holding my six month old daughter and sobbing for the girls’ families. I hope justice is served for this 7 year nightmare and for these young girls. Thank you. God bless. 💙💜
You are an amazing reporter! I appreciate you so much, every day I look for your coverage on this trial. It is hands down the most thorough reporting, while also being the most respectful. Thank you Lauren ♥️ great job. Hope you can get some sleep, take care of yourself while doing this difficult work.
A whole hour missing. That’s very bizzare!
Yea it is
this could easily cause issue on appeal
It’s not the only one missing time or that disappeared altogether.
Please elaborate? Ty
The handling of this case was AWFUL! It’s very sad for the girls and their families.
Danke!
Thank you for the explanation and drawings of the wounds. I was very confused with some of the verbal descriptions.
Thank you for this ❤ It’s so important for people to know the truth about what happened. The sketches were amazingly done and educational. Im hearing your voice crack as u speak and Im so sad. Please take care of yourself! This is so traumatic.
Thank you lauren. Please take care. I can't imagine how hard it was today.🙏
Thank you for sharing, you’re taking copious notes. It can’t be easy! Amazing job! ❤🙏
You are doing a fantastic job! So dedicated
Thank you for covering this trial
THANK YOU LAUREN FOR BEING OUR EYES. EXCELLENT ❤❤❤
Thank you for being there to help bring transparency to Gull’s lack thereof.
Thank you Lauren. I hope you are taking care of your mental health as well. I can't imagine the toll this is taking on you. Just know we greatly appreciate your professionalism and compassion. If you need to take a break, we all understand. Sending lots of love❤
Just found your youtube page! Wow! You are awesome Lauren! So in-depth and thorough…the sketches were beyond amazing. Thank you for your reporting.
Thank you for all that you do to keep us informed. ❤😊
I think Abby was killed first and once Libby saw that I believe she might have put up some kind of fight. So sad and horrific. Also if the killer had more interest in Libby it makes sense that Abby’s wound seemed to be quicker and cleaner. And very smart of these girl to hide the cell phone and turn the silencer on.
I thought about that possibility. The medical examiner stated it could have been done with only 1 weapon. Knives or anything used to cut flesh dulls very quickly from what I've learned watching other cases. I was wondering if he did kill Abby first and whatever was used to cut/ slash was not as sharp and it caused more damage? I'm surprised this hasn't come up in testimony.
Was he saying something about a box cutter?
I have watched an interview of a child thrill killer and he was describing how fast his knife went dull as he was trying to dismember a homeless man by killed. 😞.
How can people do this type of brutality?
Rip Libby and Abby ❤❤
Wonder if they tried 🆘 function on the iPhone
I think Libby was the target..she had more wounds & was left unclothed..
Too weird that she talked to Keegan Kline, convicted of child porn, the day before & this is brutally murdered shortly after that..coincidence??
Thats what I thought he stuck the knife in Abby first so he can focus on lobby with out worrying about Abby running away
Seems so personal with Libby makes me think she was targeted and tricked ,maybe on line to meet up with someone that day.
Thank you for all your time and effort to get these details to us. It truly means so much! Stay safe and have a beautiful night!
