My daughter wonders why I'm so over protective. The world is a evil place
Parents I highly recommend you get your children in a self defense class.
Wow, America is insane!!
Mother to Mother, THATS YOUR JOB AS WELL AS YOUR RIGHT TO PROTECT YOURS!!! KEEP UP THE GREATNESS OF MOTHERHOOD!!! AS SHE GET OLDER AND CHOOSE TO HAVE KIDS OF HER OWN, SHE WILL UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE AND PASS IT ON TO HER VERY OWN!!! Seeing stories like this MAKES YOU MORE PROTECTIVE OF WHAT YOU BROUGHT INTO THIS STRANGE WORLD! STAY BLESSED!!!
AMEN AND MY GIRLS ARE SICK OF ME TELLING THEM. SMH
Exactly..I don't trust men at all...smfh.
If someone ever attempts to abduct you fight like hell on the spot, don't go willingly or quitly. If they pull a gun or a knife on you it is better to make a scene and get shot or stabbed in public within earshot or visual of someone else than to cooperate and let them drive off to an isolated spot and have their way with you. Doing that just helps them get away with your murder.
I agree!
Yep never comply. Better they kill on the spot than in an isolated location
My dad always told me this. If they're going to kill you, make them do it right then and there. Never let them take you anywhere!
I totally agree do what you gotta do right now they going to have a fight on their hands
I've seen stories where girls have been taken in crowded stores, parking lots, etc., by gun force, and I could be wrong, but I have a suspicion that the pos wouldn't actually use the gun in a crowd. Unfortunately, the girls/women are probably so stunned, they don't think of that, and, well...it doesn't end well.
Thank God for a District Attorney who refuses to “reward” killers for hiding bodies well. Stay tough on crime !
A lot of times it's the victim's family who decides not the district attorney like you hear in this video the family said we want him changed to the max so there won't be anymore victims. Some families just want closure so fast they don't take the time to think about future victims. So good on this family for thinking of others and putting a monster away instead of jumping on closure for them.
Amen
@@atina197796 That is not the case at all. You can't just decide not to charge someone for murder because their victim was your family. Some smaller crimes yes, as the victim you can deny pressing charges, but this isn't one of them. DAs on the other hand can do whatever they want, especially if no one is looking.
I can only imagine how terrified Alexis was. My biggest fear is being kidnapped.
I pray for your coverage and for protection to surround you, Ameen.
Get you some kind of protection and take self defense classes often. Blessings to you, don't be scared be proactive and pray.
The fact that they considered he was innocent AFTER finding his shirt with her blood on it in his house is crazy.
Of course they will just blame it on a black person
@@the4thday876 They wanted the right person! It’s not like Jesse Matthews was an innocent man! He raped and killed at least two women and a suspected serial killer! Can we just say that both of these men are evil demons and deserve the death penalty!
@@crystala8020 only in your Anglo Saxon eyes 👀 will you see it that way. The video is about this young lady and the man who killed her. That’s the topic Anglo Saxons all the do is destroy and kill that why they callled devils it’s their attributes. From history they have destroyed civilization bc Neanderthal are uncivilized
Just something people have to say because we have to respect the judicial process. I hope he burns !
@@lecoramassamba bullshit.
Finally a police force that immediately starts looking for a missing young woman instead of waiting and just saying they're allowed to disappear.
Finally!😢
That part!
I think social media pressure played a role in that
If they’re under 18 I think they have to don’t they? I get so tired of hearing “they’re an adult they may have just left” by the police. Lazy cops
@@alanahart59 24 hour missing report is kind of stupid it . They could be across state or dead by then it’s sad , and I feel like they do this with kids as well most of the kids are never found 😞
😢My daughter was missing for 36 hours. My baby was returned to the police after it went viral. This was my biggest fear. I pray for this family and missing their baby.
Thank God your daughter was returned to you!
This is why even if I don't know women when I'm out, I try to look out for all women! It's like we're being hunted out here! We need to stick together when we're most vulnerable.
Yes same here!!
Same!
Amen!
Everyone should be careful not just women!!!!!/ no one is safe etc....., if you think that only things happen to women then you are at all not to bright !!!/ etc. .....
We are hunted. That’s why, you’re right, we need to look out for one another. 🙌 to the good guys that protect us, too!
To see someone alive in their videos who is now dead just shows you how fragile life is.
I know it's rather scary.
So well Said
That's what the psychopaths who take people's lives for fun think it is
We are essentially water balloons in a world full of sharp points
@@JAM-yj4tb You said it! I never looked at life the way.....you are on point. Lord have mercy on us.
He was saying Alexis left his trailer “ laughing and smiling “ after losing her nose ring, her hair extensions and bleeding on her shirt , the shirt she took off and shoved under her couch ?! Right !!!! He’s a monster!
and the smashed phone.
The shirt was his shirt but we get what you meAn. She was far from laughing and smiling .
And her eyelashes.... like what kind of trauma did she endure for her to lose an extension and her eyelashes
Exactly, he must think people are stupid
She fought for her life. Rip Alexis
This is why I shelter my children! No one will tell me how to raise mine! Period! This breaks my heart! Poor young lady…😢💔💔😢
She was at work that has nothing to do with sheltering a child unfortunately
@@jazmyneflorence9953Well 56 other people agree with my comment so……
Good job momma ! Keep them informed & protected . Evil is lurking in every corner unfortunately. 😞
@@LLace Thank you!
@@sugarbrown9421Agreeing does not mean you’re right. Please do not shelter your children to the point where they will never know how to defend themselves. I was 19 when I encountered kidnapping with my step father. I froze on the spot confused why he would even do this to me. My mother never taught me about the evils in this world. She sheltered me and never gave me self defense or even a weapon. This had nothing to do with the way she was raised and it’s disgusting of you to say this.
She was a beautiful young lady. It’s so sad. Kudos to the family for not agreeing to reducing the sentence to get the body back. Sounds like serial killers are working with each other.
For those wondering, “human remains were found on a piece of private property along Route 29 near Stagebridge Road, north of Lovingston.” Those remains were identified in February to be those of Alexis. May she rest in peace, and may her family find some sort of closure and are able to heal/cope better.
yes thanks because this video never said it was found thanks for the clarification
Thank you. I was waiting for them to mention the update
Glad her remains were found without his help or reducing his sentence by even a minute.
Thanks I was confused as remains as well.
Thank you for letting us know the remains were found.
I was one of the volunteers looking for you, Alexis. May you Rest In Peace 💔
💕
Jah jah guide all my kids
❤️
your comment gave me chills
Wow. I got chills too. Thank you for helping search for her.
Why do these awful crimes always happen to these nice young ladies?!?! They never go after bullies. They never go after predators or monsters. They always go after these nice young ladies, going to get their hair done. Out jogging. Just gross.
Because nice girls are pretty inside and out bullies eventually grow to look like what they are… the heart doesn’t lie
Cause bad ones know to fight 😞but the good ones obey
Evil hates the Light!
when a child is born that child deserves to be cared for just like the food we eat and our pets ... So females give birth to God's children so males only suspects and females always the accomplice, you me we all 7.8 billion souls worldwide no matter the color are simultaneously instantly guilty of all criminal cruelty against children are always perpetrated perpetuated by all family members worldwide simultaneously because we are one family, permanently corrupted DNA in common, all have the exact same purpose which is exactly like the animals we eat and our pets we take better care of them our own children which is freaking disgusting!
Yep I agree it's just gross 🤢. Cuz u never hear them kidnap somebody who was mean, I guess they try to get the ones who look naive.
What a beautiful teenage girl Alexis was. She seemed so sweet and cheerful. I don't see how anyone could harm an innocent, adorable girl like that. That man is a horrible monster. I feel so terrible for her family and friends.
Imagine how many serial killers we have passed in our lives. Walk by then. A wave. Went to fast food restaurants and served. And no one knows.
Wow I never even thought of this .
Lucky for them because they wouldn't be around long...... They aren't the danger but a grieving father is much more dangerous.
I think of this a lot because the amount of unsolved murders is just amazing. You never know who you're passing, dealing with etc
I live down the street from the Golden state killer, and I've wondered the same
Exactly… and they don’t always look like “bad guys”… we all need to be aware of our surroundings at all times… I refuse to park next to vans day or night after watching silence of the lambs
This crime haunted this community for years. I live a few minutes from that gas station. We pray for her family and her momma often.
The creep probably had a criminal history a mile long. Was just able to park his car at the gas station & wait for little girls to rape & murder. People like this need to be executed ASAP
I can’t imagine how it effects the people who love and knew her. I hope they find peace some day.
@@alynsak I agree. The whole community feels that loss. Her family deserves so much better than not knowing. Prayers to her momma.
Pray often?? Why not everyday?
@@kingznqueenztv my son died just a few years ago and some days I need prayers . Then I think of her momma and I pray for us both. Days get hard when your child dies before you. Sometimes it's hard just to breathe, let alone pray.
I remember this story from years ago. It's so sad they just found her. I hope everyone has some peace from this.
I'm hoping the family of Keesha Jacob's gets closer too.
I’m so scared for my son to be in highschool the world is a scary place and I couldn’t IMAGINE losing my baby to some sick individual
This poor sweet girl, she was so pretty and bubbly, she was a good girl, she wasn't doing anything wrong. I can think of myself at her age, doing similar things, getting my hair done, excited, having a good day. I couldn't imagine the horror she experienced.
She was buying drugs... That's considered doing something wrong. Sorry to break the news to you.... I mean its obvious right?
💖
What’s crazy is the guy told the family he would give up the child’s location for a shorter sentence and the family said no. Could you imagine having to make that decision as the family? Knowing they could get their daughter a proper burial but yet… don’t want the perp to get off even a tiny bit
No .He already killed her I say he got off light already by not being given the death penalty for her murder.
I thought the title said her remains had been found. They haven’t found them at all.
@@TCA4381 her remains have been found and were laid to rest
What a bullshit thing to offer. The location of her dead body for less time in jail. That's of cold comfort and little sentimental value when he could have just... NOT fucking killed her.
Not even bout the purp getting off it’s about him getting out and killing someone else
This is a perfect example of why you can't trust anyone unless you really know them never ever let your guard down .
She was a beautiful young lady my heart goes out to her family.
It just hurts me so much to see someone lose their baby this way. RIP to all those young women who died in the hands of a MONSTER! This is so unfair.
An people
@@faemae7012 ?
Me too. I just had a baby girl last year, she's one. My biggest fear is something like this may happen to her
@@planbmindset9475 I know, I know! It would kill me if something like this happened to my family.
Or MONSTERS
They found all that evidence at his house and they were still not sure they had the right guy!? Smh
Certain law enforcement zero in on a reason why someone is missing, especially when they think that it's a runaway) or someone specifically is under suspicion. They also may not have had the 1 piece of evidence that proves he's guilty and don't want to risk him getting away with it.
I know that's crazy my aunt fell busted her head wide open they would not investigate saying it was a accident but I still think my other aunt had something to do with it just cause she borrowed 12,000 from my other aunt her sister who happened be at her house that day and my aunt been drinking her self to passing out she didn't drink like that tell my other aunt died and she had a key to her house and said she was there that day also she used that money she borrowed never paid back for pain pills I hate to think my aunt would kill her sister but my heart deeply believe it and my cousin who lost his mom believe my other aunt was involved
@@cynthg9547 there wasn't an autopsy? If she was older, the less suspicious that cops will be unfortunately.
Nothing wrong with wanting to be sure. Plus his lawyers would have grounds to maybe file an appeal or at least place doubt in the integrity of the investigation, when he was already convicted on circumstantial evidence. I bet in that same breathe you'd complain the cops never admit when they may be wrong and lock up innocent people all the time without investigating everyone. They can't win for anything with you people.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged So what other evidence did they find to arrest him that they already didn't know or have, please enlighten us? Because footage of them leaving the gas station following each other, her broken nail, earring and bloody shirt in his trailer is way too much evidence to not be sure. Many people are charged with less evidence
This case, is the reason that I always kept my kids in the grocery cart. When they could walk alongside, their fingers were always laced through the side of the cart. I NEVER LET MY KIDS GO ANYWHERE BY THEMSELVES!! My 2 kids are 32 & 22!!
I’m confused there 22 and 32 now but you no longer keep there fingers laced through the side of the cart , I hope you let them go out by them selves now
No, I was speaking about when they were toddlers with fingers through the carts. I know how I was ogled as a teenager, so I was "over" precautious parent. And by listing their respective ages, was just proof that my kids are alive today!! In fact, the 32 year old just walked in from work. We live in N. O. style shotgun houses.
I will never let my daughter travel by herself. She had too much freedom, creeps pick up in that
I worked with her mom who's such a beautiful soul... I remember in support wearing a pink shirt to the p/o with Alexis beautiful face on it.. The experience was hard for me... I can only imagined how you felt coming to work every day... Being reminded of your daughter daily... Because your co workers are wearing shirts with Alexis on it...If you see this, I pray now you and family can have a little peace... Keep being strong queen ❤

I’m so sorry. Just watching this made me cry and think about my two daughters who are 19 and 14 I was hoping they would tell us where they found her I mean was it close was it far away? I know after seven years what could’ve happened but I had a friend that went missing in Dallas, Texas and she was never found and she went missing in 2013 and we don’t know where she is. We don’t know who took her we don’t know anything she was grown she had children and she just told her kids that she would be right back and they were of age to be left at the house by their self for a few minutes while she ran to the store or something, and when she never returned the next morning. Her son called her brother his uncle, and we still don’t know what happened to her. Her car was never found, she was never found, and a few years later it happened again to another girl that we grew up with, but they found her slaughtered and in an abandoned house in South Dallas she came up missing from North Dallas and then a few months later it happened again to another girl we didn’t know but she lived in our area and they found her also in an abandoned house, and it just makes you wonder… The thing is the girls that were found inside of the abandoned houses they still never found who did it and it’s gut, wrenching to even think about when that girl that went viral everywhere for playing like she was abducted, and then she popped up… Carly or whatever her name was it really touched my soul for the time that she was considered missing because that actually happened to so many people that I know in Dallas, Texas and I didn’t think it was funny when people were laughing about it but when she was found it made me so mad because situations like this really do happen and that’s not funny to fake a kidnappingI took it was missing when she came out and said that she faked her abduction I was so mad because there are people that are really hurt out here praying for their loved ones to just be found
@@Raising_AutismThe Nelson County Commonwealth Attorney's Office said Taylor told investigators where he buried Alexis. Her remains were recovered on the side of a mountain on December 3, 2020, near Stagebridge Road off Route 29. That's about four miles north of Taylor's trailer.
Oof. The very second her mom spoke you could just see the pain in her eyes. It has to be the worst feeling ever possible to have your child die tragically like this. I hope she is able to find some sort of peace and happiness, somehow.
I remember this young lady, when she disappeared. I think she was so rememberable cause she was so pretty and sweet. I am proud the family finally got some closure. So sad.
If they found blood on this man’s shirt her hair her lashes why would you even doubt they were actually trying to blame it on a black murderer 🤦🏽♀️ this is sad the fact that they tried it irritates me to my core
This burns me up. Omg. I always thought that Jesse may be innocent. They had 0 evidence that he was guilty in either murder. Additionally, Randy gave the name of the "black guy with dred locs" so I'm confused about why they are trying to unidentify him. Smh
@Magnolia Peach dont fucking play the race card now its not the time
@Magnolia Peach right ! Her being black is why they didn't care . Even with all that proof they still didn't care .
Yeah... He tried it! Both of these evil asses got exactly what they deserve.
I've been following this case since less than 24 hours after she went missing and people DID care. There were several searches and the suspect has been locked up since that time. Her case was even covered on some national TV shows. Randy is the one who blamed the other guy.
I can't even imagine what this poor girl endured. My condolences to her family 💐
Yes🙏
I feel the same way guys. To see her so full of life and her beautiful smile…. So incredibly sad. I remember this well. Prayers for her momma and family.
You know, in cases like this when a young woman goes missing I often wonder... Would it be better for me as a parent to have my child returned 7yrs after going missing and found sex trafficked or that she's never coming home because she's been murdered... Anyone want to share their thoughts?
@Swnsasy The not knowing aspect would be the worst for me. I couldn't stop looking for my missing child.
@@Swnsasy As the mother of 3 daughters..31,20, and 19.I cant imagine either scenario.Seeing these cases make me cry.
I live here in Lovingston where she went missing from. Right near the store she was seen at called the Marathon Gas Station which is connected to McDonald's. Her missing person banner stayed up everyday until her remains were found. It was nearly a lifetime before they found her remains. This is an extremely small community but rugged terrain. Dollar General is the biggest store here. I can remember driving Hwy 29 to work in Charlottesville, VA wondering just where this gorgeous girl could be in this small community. Charlottesville is very busy and scary at night and I refused to work after dark there. I refused to drive that highway after dark. There aren't many places to stop if you break down. You are in the foothills of the mountains. This case definitely put me on guard forever. My heart still breaks for this family. He is connected to other girls deaths Law Enforcement thought another guy was responsible for.
No parent ever stands at their child's coffin saying that they regret hovering over them! My daughter was never allowed to be out alone in the dark!
You better believe it!! I'm so glad my daughter is reserved and keeps to herself, she's a gentle giant but large in stature,!! The kids look at her and don't even try her. And YES MA'AM she is 17 years old and I hover like a drone!! especially when she was in the marching band.! I chaperoned every event for 2 years.
It seems like it was just yesterday. Don't seem like it's been seven years. Sending prayers to her family 🙏
I know :( so sad
We need to teach our children & especially our daughters survival & self defense skills. We can't be with them at all times.Sad
Right 😞🙏🏽🕊!
Right? I remember when this first hit Crime watch daily 💔
@Toni Mu roe Her remains were discovered in 2020. Thats seven years from 2013. Are you looking at the same video
Thank you to Alexis’s family for saying NO to this psychopath’s “offer” to tell them where her body was. Just when you think he couldn’t go any lower on the humanity scale, he does. I have no doubt that he would do this over and over again. They most likely saved the lives of other girls as beautiful as their Alexis.
They had said he was a suspect in another girl's murder this is so sad
I believe Alexis family knew this man would reoffend and maybe Alexis knew thank you so much for what you have done because he would have killed again
I wouldn't have either, unfortunately the loved one was already gone, so why give him what he wants.
Just Evil 😢
I wonder if he is even still alive. Maybe other bodies would have been recovered and then on his 20th year he died in jail..
Sadly, she was eventually found, but deceased. My condolences to her family. There’s no safety anymore.
Yea they found her but glad her mom didn’t let him get that time down for her😂whereabouts. I think he definitely killed the white girl first. Alexis wasn’t the first victim. My own opinion!🤷🏽♀️
This is such a sad closure 😞 I am glad the family has finally received that closure. My grandmother daughter was kidnapped by a woman who was her next door neighbor in 1936 or 37 in San Francisco. Not sure the year but i remember my grandmother saying she was 5 or 6 months old and her name is or was Gail Patricia and she was born in 1936 or 1937. The sad part is the police didn't bother to investigate due to the fact of the race and my grandmother had other children and single. I wish I could've reunited or got closure for my grandmother because she never stopped missing her daughter.
This family is so heroic. What courage it took to take that stand.
this family you refer to is us, 7.8 billion souls worldwide all have the same permanently corrupted DNA in common so to the same purpose maintaining the holy Trinity and keep children's lives holy!
I think Randy had his eyes on Alexis long before he ever got near her. He sold her mom their car. He watched people like the creep he is. Unfortunately no one could have guessed he would go that far. He would have done the same thing to other girls if they hadn’t locked him up.
Yeah I think someone said he may have sold her weed before because he was known to do that with teens and that maybe how he got her to go back to his place.
@@KPbouj yes that’s the story that was reported when she first went missing! I’m so glad she was found.
@@angeldance08 me too
How he didn't get rid of all that evidence! ,...am gobsmacked.

I feel sorrow for all of these young women's families. I have two daughters and three sons of my own, and I pray every day that they will all be safe in this crazy world. As a parent, I can imagine the pain that these parents are going through, and it scares the hell out of me. May god bless you all, and may he heal your hearts and minds of the pain.
My baby girl doesn’t go anywhere! She don’t sleep anywhere. This is why! 😢
He’s a true psychopath! Still pleading innocent with the straight face until the DNA comes back. Then comes even more cruelty with the offer of her remains for a reduced sentence! 🤬 Her family have formidable strength and courage to reject that offer. I’m so glad in a bittersweet way she has been returned to them. ❤️ Thanks for the update Ana.
Agreed♡!
He had been watching her before he decided to go after her and talking to her spying on her threw cellphone and texting a spy apps to keep watching her threw Google cameras social media
It’s exhausting to see the daily terror, suffering, and death that men inflict on women and girls who are just living their lives, unaware that predators are watching and waiting.
@@bumpytherhino Stop victim blaming, there will be no forgiveness for a serial killer like him.
@@bumpytherhino you are part of the problem. Stop policing what women wear and using the Lord to victim shame and victim blame and justify your misogyny. She was going about her business. He was the evil monster who took her life. And you sit up here judging her for the dress she had on. But yet the killer is the one that has your sympathy. Just goes to show. Bye!!!
For real. Along with all those creeps making creepy excuses for the predators in the name of God. Blaming the victim like she had it coming over her apparel. A dress isn't an excuse for this ffs. The lack of humanity, impulse control and a twisted belief system on the part of the perpetrator/sympathizers of the perpetrators are typically the contributing factors. Unreal
Men are visually stimulated. Women need to be cautious.
@@spiritmatter1553 in other words it's the woman's fault she got raped? You have no responsibility to control yourself and your impulses. A woman should go about her life catering to men because of your lame excuse of being visual. So you should rape, attack, murder someone because you are visual? Smh. Feel soory your daughter, mother, or sister. You are part of the problem. You all take no responsibility always blaming someone else for the evil that lives in you.
I seriously hope that there are good guys out there who specifically get locked up to put these types of people in the ground sooner
What kind of father would let his 17 -year-old daughter go out into the world traveling day and night alone by themselves?
She was damn near a women with a curfew and they trusted her
@@HalfwayHouseProductions08 if she had a blick

I was glad her remains were found for her family’s sake. May she Rest In Peace. 🙏🏾❤️
It really is important. They all deserve a proper burial 🙏🏼
I still am 💕
Yeah I’m glad remains were found too. I haven’t watched yet but I am about to know and I am glad that you are her body was found whatever was left of her of course But it’s also sad to know that she’s not alive anymore and that she can’t walk through the door and hug her mom and dad you know hug her family anymore that’s the sad part so yeah
That's what the title said but we didn't see anything about it in this video
Her remains weren't found.
This is so damn sad. I’m sick of these damn predators targeting innocent people.
It's frightening raising children,we don't want to stifle their growth at the same time we want to keep them so very safe Pray for the family
I wonder if CNN would classify this as a “hate crime?” I digress. RIP sweet angel.
dont make her death political
Huh?
So basically they had 2 serial killers running around and had to figure out which one killed who?? That's scary 😨
Yes just dumb!
Right that’s the part that tripped me up.
It was a scary time to live in Virginia as a female when all of this was going on.
You think that's crazy you should look up the Atlanta child murders It took place in the 70's before criminal investigation was as advanced as it is now. One man was arrested for 20+ murders of yong kids and a couple of adults but it's was clearly 2 or more killers responsible for the deaths. It's shocking and there are many conspiracy's surrounding it
@@claudettereed3331 yeah I’ve heard about it
I didn’t realize it’s been 7 years. Prayers to her family 🙏🏽
She can now REST IN PEACE 🙏🙏🕊️
Yeah I remember when they where looking for her. I am glad they found her and can bring her home.
Technically 9 years. She went missing in 2013 her remains were found 2 years ago.
It's been 9 now, she was lost in 2013 and her remains were found 7yrs later in 2020.

Yess!! I was like OMG is this the young light skin girl and sure enough!! I NEVER stopped thinking about her! Condolences to her family, glad they found her! ❤️
Same, just read the headline and I knew straight away. That cctv footage of her leaving the gas station, and that truck following her.. And her phone led them to her killer. I hadn't realised they'd never found her before now, or the connection to serial killer. Thank goodness one case didn't screw up the other. Her family can be at peace now.

@@ZazaTyson huh??🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
@@monicapeterkin4365 I was saying she followed the man out of the gas station. I was just correcting where she said he followed her from the gas station
Heard about this when she disappeared.. following closely ever since.. this popped up and I couldn’t believe it.. mixed emotions all over. Finally, she can be put to rest and her family can have, well not much, but a little peace 💔 RIP beautiful, you’re missed.
Makes me so angry how these scumbags think they can just abduct someone’s child and murder them for their own sick and twisted pleasure. Please be careful out there kids, not just girls but boys too. RIP Alexis.
Poor girl. I hate that monsters like him exist and are able to take life so easily. She had everything in front of her and he stole that because he’s sick. I hope he gets what he deserves in prison.
I'm so glad she can finally be brought home. I totally understand her family not accepting his plea deal to give the location of her remains. Rip
Yeah for 20 yrs fucking piece of shit they gotta start doing an eye for an eye.
I never could reconcile the notion of justice being served with the back-door bartering of a plea deal. The family and prosecutors made the right choice by not giving in to sentimentality. Indeed, we want to honour our deceased loved ones; but if that honour and respect comes at the price of commuting a murderer’s punishment-no way.
I don't know her but I can only imagine what that baby went through I hope her family is ok and know she's touching everyone's hearts even though we don't know her
I can't believe the gas station would let him just sit on their property.
and how people didn't report it to police even though everyone in town knew about him doing that
Something's not right about the cctv footage. She comes into the gas station in brown pants and red top. And then comes out with red dress. Make sense? Is that even the same woman?
Yea she could've went into change clothes. Very possible
@@shayla206 If she went in to change her clothes, she would have been carrying a bag..but she came in empty handed.
I think the footage of her walking out is just the re-enactment footage? But I could be wrong
I don't get how there could be ANY doubt that he didn't do this to that young girl. Her phone, hair extentions, nail etc were all found on his property!! His look alone tells you he's demented!!! RIP to this young girl 😥😥

What a beautiful young girl! So very sad, as she had her whole life in front of herself. Condolences to her family ❤
Can y’all imagine? They had to figure out which of the two serial killers killed their precious daughter…the fact there were multiple serial killers involved just reassures me of my level of crazy when it comes to my girls.
They knew that that white guy killed her. They were trying to cover it up because he took him broad daylight and black people. White people seen it and didn't do anything. That's why they
Not gonna lie. This is probably one of the best police departments I’ve seen so far in the US. They were immediately on it. I truly appreciate that. Normally us POC don’t get that immediate empathic response 🙏🏾 I’m so grateful to those who actually do their job the correct way and care about the victims as people and not color. Many others places would have listed her as a runaway and left it at that.
Finally
NGL...I used to think racism as a concept was overused ....now I see that its everywhere like a covid variant on crack. Covert, but still there. Even the manager at our mcds is rrrracist
How they found her earring , and other stuff he should have been arrested just by those .
They had 2 be b/c there were multiple open cold cases of missing and/or murdered girls in that area, which implied there was an active serial killer or abductor out there. So, they couldn't pull the typical "missing person 48 hr" procedure. If there is suspicion of a serial killer/abductor, every second is crucial b/c it could save a life. Now, if there weren't any missing girls, then they would've waited b4 pursuing any leads.
What a beautiful young lady, I'm so sorry for this family's loss.
Oh I have been following this for a long time. What a sad ending. Im so sorry for her family and friends.😢
Vengeance is mine says the Lord. These horrific murders will not go unpunished. Rest In Peace girls, they’re all in God’s hands safe & loved . Prayers for all these suffering parents & friends. So tragic. ❤️🙏

I remember this case. Being from the area, it was scary. I still believe Randy Taylor also killed Samantha Clarke too. He was her last phone call before she went missing.
Yeah that's a bit too much of a coincidence.
I think so too
Have they investigated that? I’ve never heard of her case, I’m going to look into it. How horrible 😔
I believe both Randy and Jesse were apart of a trafficking ring with high powered people involved and that's how they knew each other. I also believe this kidapping/trafficking ring is a still going on.
@@amy109 the police messed up the investigation. They figured he did it but most of their evidence could not be used because they did stuff like put tracking devices on him illegally. He had his camper set up at some point in my neighborhood in the adjoining County and they kept searching the lake. Where his trailer was located was in a "town" that actually spans three counties. What I see in the news does not all match what I experienced locally. But this area is country country.
as someone that goes to college near lynchburg this is crazy there is nothin out in those parts of virginia
Why is it that all the surveillance cameras are cheap and always give out grainy pictures that you can't see the person clearly?
It's sad that we can only be happy that her body was found. She was still a young person, had a whole life ahead and should still enjoying her life and her family. Rest in peace Alexis. My condolences to her family and friends.

Is this the case where the old classmate or football player was accused of murdering her? I think he had been inside the trailer as well to purchase marijuana.

In my case, its the exact opposite. When I lie, I'm quiet and and act like "if you don't wanna believe me, then fine." I'm a horrible liar so I try to just avoid lying lol same with a lie detector test, and my search history constantly watching true crime.. I'd be wrongly convicted in no time!

How hard that would be to make a decision to know where your baby girls body is, but in return have to allow the criminal to get a lesser punishment for him killing your baby. Their heart must have wanted her so very badly! I am glad that they ended up getting her remains in the end without compromising what they didn’t want to do.
It would be diff if u didn't know if she was alive or not, then that becomes a race 2 save her life. But, if u knew she had already passed on, then there's nothing that can be done. When ppl die, they return 2 dust & go back 2 earth, so if he left her remains somewhere on or in the ground, then she returned back 2 earth. It's more important 2 keep him locked away until he dies so he'll never be able 2 do this again to another family. It's an important sacrifice to save the masses vs. knowing where the remains are 4 burial purposes.
