Abducted From A Slumber Party: The Murder Of Polly Klaas | The FBI Files | Real Crime

[@NotoriousVC]

Wow, people calling her house pretending to be her or the kidnapper? That was weird, hope those people were charged.

[@scarlet8078]

@Ryan Smith If they were adults, they could be charged with filing a false report, making false statements to authorities, etc., depending on the jurisdiction. Unfortunately it sounds like it was a child "prank" calling. Still, it was unspeakably cruel. The vast majority of children understand right from wrong and such antisocial behavior by a child tends to be predictive of sociopathy. I'd be interested in knowing how that child's life has turned out now, and whether she's had other run-ins with the law as an adult.

[@c.a.greene8395]

What this brat did by calling the parent of Polly was beyond cruel 'sorry' is not good enough! This brat deserves at least a full year in juvinile detention! Hell I got 3 years for running away from home! The least this bitch should have been given something!

Sounded like a botched investigation to me too. The cops didn't hear the information because their radios were on a different frequency. But why did they not find out when they got back to the station? they should have known they let a murderer go. The story that they escorted him off the property was likely just to cover their ass. They pulled him out and they headed back to the station while poly class and the murderer lay in the dingley weeds. Why did it take two months to recover this scene? They should have been out there the next morning going over it with a fine tooth comb. Cops are always covering their asses.

I use this quote, “what you have done to the least of my people you have done to me. “ I like the part when the hypocrites were told by Jesus I do not know you and they freaked out, saying lord lord, as he drove home they showed no mercy to the most vulnerable so in turn he would be without mercy to them. Their is another quote which supports the way the animals are created and protected too. Even if you don’t believe in Jesus those are good quotes. If we have these type of people that showed no mercy to their victims then we will show no mercy to them when they get their punishments for doing what they did.

What I don’t understand about this is: He took Polly into dark woods and left her there while he tried to get vehicle unstuck. Then police came and got him unstuck and guided him away from the area where the stuck vehicle was. Then the kidnapper drove around for another 15-30 min before returning to Polly. So did he tie Polly up to a tree? I know kids get scared in the dark woods at night but if she wasn’t tied up to a tree then why didn’t she start running the opposite direction of the vehicle? Was she blind folded so she couldn’t see? My family thinks I’m crazy for liking True Crime stories BUT shows like this has taught me a lot about abductions and I then teach my kids. Be aware of everything: Smells,sounds,count the number of turns in vehicle if blind folded,counting steps in your head,notice how the ground feels under your feet,tattoos,scars,facial hair,number of windows and if any are open,don’t let the kidnappers know if you managed to get untied and wait until you can escape, scream and yell if you can to alert good strangers,if your sitting upwards in vehicle try to look out window and mouth the words “help” or a crazy look to inform vehicles at stop sign/light next to you that your in danger. Try to leave something a finger print,hair,a piece of clothing,jewelry,a sock,spit or a lil blood drop,something anywhere you can to help lead investigators of whereabouts.Same goes for attacks too.

I'm not saying it's okay or that I would stand by and watch someone be assaulted or kidnapped, because I certainly wouldn't since I've been in a violent relationship before. But has anyone here heard of the Kitty Genovese murder? That's where they coined the term Bystander Syndrome. About 15(some reports say 40 or more but that's been proven false) people, her neighbors, saw and heard her being stabbed on the street. Only one man shouted out for the man to leave her alone, no one came out to help her and she made her way to her apartment building, the killer had ran away then a few minutes later came back and attacked her again, stabbing her in her apartments corridor just feet from a neighbors door who looked out and saw the murderer standing over her body but he was too afraid to do anything and was drunk at the time. Every single person who said they heard her screams and did nothing stated they didn't do anything because they believed someone else must have already called the police or gone to help because they didn't hear her screams anymore. One woman, ONE, a friend of hers finally went outside to investigate and found her bleeding out in the corridor and called for people to call the police and Kitty passed away in her arms. Again, not saying it's "okay" but it's a common occurance if you haven't seen or experienced enough violence or bad behavior in your life to know to speak up regardless of your fears. It's just a symptom of human behavior that's been around for a long time. We know more now in 2019 how evil people can be and how to protect those who are more vulnerable, but it still happens just not as often. Long ass rant but the final thought is, people are overwhelmingly idiotic. Doesn't make it alright. But it's also not surprising to me at all that this happened with so many witnesses. Truly this will just keep happening until we're all so paranoid about each other that no one trusts anyone anymore.
