It makes me so sad that she wanted to be a judge for the supreme court and then she was murdered by corrupt cops. What a sick twist of fate.

Never, ever tell a cop (or ANYONE), that you have dirt on him/her, & will rat him/her out, etc! Some people will kill you for much less! Never, ever blackmail anyone! You WILL be silenced... That poor girl, dog & family 😔😔😔😔😔😔

[@HoneyLustable]

My theory is that, what if the brother saw something while living outside? Maybe actual killers (the sheriff’s department) saw him so they arrested him to make sure that he couldn’t talk and tried to pin the crime on him

[@naomii7843]

exactly what i was thinking! Her brother maybe saw officer Dod do something suspicious and so he tried "hushing him" that's why he went to their house to question him about the 'trespassing incident'. When Dod realized that Candace was standing her ground and protecting her brother, and knowing about the envelopes with drug dealers, she became a threat to Dod and the other corrupt officers. Which is why they killed her and pinned her death on her brother. Candace and her brother knew/saw too much of what these officers were doing so they tried to get rid of them...

[@sara-ls5pm]

Naomi Palmier although it this isn’t unlikely, her brother was completely anti social and most likely would not be anywhere near the house (the windows per say) to have seen anything.

[@bambiarmeler5700]

i thought this too, and that's also why he ran away and was found camping elsewhere, because he was terrified

[@michelleguerrero4532]

This!!

[@RaeaXo]

Wow, it’s not even a question. It was Dodd. 🤯 That whole sheriff’s department is trash really.

[@221BBakerStreet]

it really is so sad when families have to do more investigating than the people communities trust to bring justice. after seeing kendall rae’s vlogumentry and now candace’s case, it’s just so heartbreaking. this must be so traumatising for the families to have to keep reliving this trauma over and over again to involve experts. just so upsetting

[@emmaterry2993]

it just breaks my head that her brother was so heavily looked at as a suspect. since he has serious psychological issues , i bet he was so so scared when they all came at him as the prime suspect in a literal murder investigation of his OWN SISTER. the system is seriously so corrupt.

[@kayjpjessie]

imagine having to live in the woods bc u can’t hack people, poor guy

[@Victoria-jq6sj]

This case is seriously so infuriating. I hope that Candace and her family can get justice someday. I know not all law enforcement officers are bad people, but there are seriously so many dirty cops who get away with shit they shouldn't be getting away with

[@vanessavaldez28]

I was about to sleep but this is more important.

[@nicholealderfer191]

I am so much with Bella. As someone that spent eight and a half years in law enforcement, evidence all evidence goes to property custody. Not in some storage unit, and never any case that is still open. Why charges of hampering an investigation never happened baffles me. If evidence is not in property custody then it cannot be located and re-examined.

I honestly doubt they would take one type of shell case but leave the others. As I've heard several criminologists say "you are either thorough when killing s.o and disposing of evidence all the way through or not at all"

[@PiXie232]

Well they clearly thought that they had full reign and power over the investigation, and so they likely, and very clearly- because all of that other evidence was found in the storage unit, and the head sheriff knew about it right away when it was found- thought that they were going to get away with murder. And they may well still.. unless something big happens and CBI comes down hard on them if they find enough evidence to convict those cops. What a tragic and royally f**ked up case.
