I'm amazed that there were so many people protecting Jason, even with the $36,000 prize for tips, it's utterly nearly unbelievable.

[@lisas8244]

What kind of sick, disgusting family would support a degenerate husband, son in law and brother in law who SA'd his young sister in law, impregnated her and then refuse to believe he killed her after he said he would do just that? Poor Rayna never had a chance with a fu**ed up family such as hers. I'm so disgusted, repulsed and outraged. CPS should have removed her from the entire family of ingrates. What a horrible way to treat your sister and daughter. As far as I'm concerned they are as culpable in her demise as her wicked and perverted brother in law. Rest in peace, dear Rayna.

[@lindamorris9120]

How can you stay married to a man that assaulted your own sister??? This is sick in more ways than I can say!

[@cbcordoviz9651]

Took the words right out of my mouth. Even worse, the bastard never spent a day in prison for the sexual assault.

[@rapitup45]

Very Karla Homolka of her.

@@nancychisholm5399 Thanks for the update.

[@MissLibra-ce8qe]

@CB Cordovitz...the narrator said that at the time of Rayna's disappearence, the brother-in-law had not long since been released from a 3 year prison sentence for the ongoing molestation of a minor...that minor being Rayna.

[@hydras5947]

What the fuck? The CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST was allowed to wander around and interact with his victim freely? AFTER HE HAD MADE DIRECT THREATS TO HER LIFE?? And the absolute failure of a sister was perfectly okay with her husband literally raping and impregnating a child? This case is fucked up in so many ways.

[@lisas8244]

@hydras5947 With a family like Rayna's she didn't need enemies. She was related to the worst of the worst.

[@nesadcruz7840]

Her family is strange. How could her parents tolerate such a Son in law and allow their daughter to continue to be exposed to such a person?

[@MR-pv7qg]

Exactly

[@jenstang4529]

I don’t understand this, this poor girl must have felt so betrayed by her family in their acceptance of her rapist, or at least the sister seemed okay with it. Poor girl 😢

[@luckyh4131]

With sister like that who needs an enemy

[@carolinebrennan3864]

It's sickening that the cops waited so long and wasted all that time. So sick of hearing that crap.

[@lisas8244]

The damned DA refused to file charges!

[@RenoReborn]

Believe it or not, Cops aren't actually allowed to do whatever they want without any actual evidence, they actually have to build a solid case to take to Court, DA's like to win their cases cause y'know, it's their job so if you don't got the evidence, they ain't gunna move forward, if they do then they run the risk of granting prime suspects the protection of double jeopardy making it insanely hard to get a prosecution in the future.

[@karenengelhardt1610]

Jesus Christ this is awful. I was fourteen and a sophomore in high school that year, certainly never worried about being murdered 😡 This kind of thing fucking infuriates me!

[@snakerootmanor]

Amazed there aren't more followers to this fab channel!!

[@mb-mz4tg]

Totally binging these

[@britth5333]

I am absolutely enraged by this. Why would the sister stay with her BIL monster. He should have been in jail for sexually abusing her for years not just in probation. Then how do people keeps secrets so long and are willingly involved in covering up a murder. Telling lies to give him a accomplice.

[@nesadcruz7840]

Her parents too, why would they still continue to allow him to have access to her and defend him?

[@Loveyone01]

Her parents are an absolute disgrace and failed Rayna when they stood by and supported the man that, for years, sexually abused her!

[@colinconnolly6285]

So this disgrace of an older sister would 'switch the switch' on her wee sister's killer would she? Accepts sex abuse at hands of her own man though? Disgusting creature should be too embarrassed to talk. This poor girl deserved better from people in her life.

[@judytieger8976]

I agree. Not only did the sister stay married to him, but her parents accepted him as far as I could ascertain. I also thought it was odd that as a 7th grader her parents let her date.

[@cherie8219]

Whaaat how could the sister still be married to him 😔

[@JudeNance]

Thank you for sharing such interesting information 😊

[@kerrypunch4212]

And the parents are no better

[@tonyn.5592]

damn she went through more bs in her short life than 99.99% of people

You might be surprised...

[@tebsa76]

I hope the sister is rotting with guilt.

[@lisas8244]

@tebsa76 One would hope but it seems the sister had no conscience. Nor did her despicable parents.

[@cedrics5241]

Her family should pay too.. how disgusting.

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

I don't understand how people can see others fighting/arguing and not check to make sure that everyone is OK. Before people say that unless you're in that situation you don't know. I've stopped many situations like that. Maybe it's because I'm 6"4 (194) and solidly built but I've had random girls and guys come up to me to ask to step in

[@dfgiuy22]

I ain't as big as you bud, but I've stepped in and stopped a fair bit of bullshit myself. There is just something wrong how it has become 'normal and expected for people to sir back on their hands and do nothing. It's quite despicable and morally bankrupt to be honest. Even if someone was to get hurt or worse I would prefer that over being a coward and not doing the right thing.

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

@@dfgiuy22 Well said sir. You are a gentleman 👍🏻

[@voiceofreason1208]

Police will tell you that the most potentially dangerous unpredictable calls they answer are domestic disturbances. Very often one person, usually the woman, can be literally beaten bloody and when the officers arrest them or in more severe instances, have to use physical violence or deadly force, they are attacked by the person they are trying to help. I am originally from a town in Connecticut called Milford. Many years ago there was a domestic incident where a husband had beaten his wife to a pulp and was about to kill her with a knife when the police arrived. The officers ordered the man to drop the knife and surrender several times before he charged at them and they were forced to shoot him. Immediately after that the woman started screaming why did you do that why did you kill him and attempted to physically assault the officers. Given that police officers are trained in hand to hand combat and have a veritable Batman utility belt at their disposal and they are still very leery of domestic disturbances you can kind of understand why people don't get involved. That and sadly we live in a very selfish, complacent society today.

Poor innocent Rayna

[@brendajstevens3719]

👏👏👏

[@katrinacarter2019]

Doesn't seem like the police checked his albi with girls he said he was with ,this case could had being solved yrs ago had they done there footwork Rip poor Rayna

[@wiebkescantick947]

Lori is willing to flip the switch on Raynas murderer, but tries to work out her marriage with her husband who raped Rayna. Make it make sense.
