[@reinhardt5405]

Something tells me when the detective passes, she's gonna be waiting for him then greet and thank him for all he's done. He genuinely cared for her.

[@jamielee7404]

He knows her birthday..... These words just pierced me. A detective who cares about her more than her own father.

[@debarundas6849]

The detective is the father Farah never had..

[@lindsaypace3078]

The pain in his eyes as he is talking is unbelievable. He truly cared for this girl the moment he "met" her. You can tell that he never stopped caring, even to this day. caring

[@Lukkaboc]

So sad to know a kindergarten finger painting was used to identify a dead body. Very sad.

[@akhan6588]

I accidentally trapped my cats tail in the door because I didn't know she was there and took her to the vets straight away to get it stitched up and just to see my cat in pain it hurt me so much and didn't sleep properly for weeks, but to do that to your child or any child or anyone I don't get how anyone can be so damn evil, R.I.P farah Khan

[@pimpindymepiece]

Hearing that the dad put his own daughter’s head in a backpack is HORRIFYING

[@Tylee30]

If you don’t want her, leave her with her mother. I just don’t understand 💔

[@Odette321]

She's beautiful like her Momma . They hated her because she looked like her. They are weak lowlives murdering an innocent little child and doing what they did with her body, then lying about how she died. Both of them deserve to be put down.

[@SaweetDee22]

She would be 26 tomorrow. Happy heavenly birthday baby girl! Rest easy 🥰🥰

[@cassiebould9358]

Thank you to kindergarten head teacher and to Mary having the strength to go and see what the couple were dumping

[@colinhunter1954]

I can see the look of haunting pain in that detectives eyes still remains today. Thank you |Mr. Prisor.

[@doctorgothicc]

Thank you to everyone involved in this case for insuring Farah receive the recognition and respect her father and stepmother tried to rob her on. May her memory live on.

[@jasminu3111]

please don't hurt kids ever, they're blessings of God. please always love and adore your kids. they're pure and shining souls in this ghastly dark world. can't believe people could do this.

[@sillycookie1982]

That poor woman who found the body parts.

[@evon0406]

This was hard to watch. That little girl beaten, killed then dismembered at 5 years old. What kind of a monster does that to a defenseless child.

[@allicat2551]

One thing I don't understand is the tombstone. Does it really have to say courtesy of the cemetery? I mean do they really need it to say that, as if asking for kudos. How about putting nice sentiments about her on there?

[@joo6231]

Why did her father even have custody of her if he didn’t even think she was his child?

[@JLRhoades04]

For the dad to imply it was an accidental death after the way he disposes her, No.

[@itsmackenzie]

And that she did it to herself.

[@judymorgan289]

You can see this detective was profoundly effected by this murder, the father was a true monster, the stepmother knew exactly what happened she belongs locked up for the rest of her life also.

[@alexaltego]

He cared very deeply and you could tell this one haunted him and probably still does to this very day. RIP little angel and thank you to that dedicated man 💔

[@amjadbaig7377]

What a caring detective you can see the pain in his eyes for the fallen angel 😪😪

[@irmaiman602]

You would think once he killed her, he would loose the custody of the child... what kinda of laws!!

[@angeliamessex4340]

😭😭😭😭 when he said he still celebrates her birthday milestones I lost it all the way, snot and all. I watch a lot of these type videos and the impact of cases like hers have on people like him is just so heartbreaking to have to go through I can't even imagine. Like they said with a lot of these cases those victims and ones they seek justice for they become attached or just can't stop thinking of them etc idk how to really put it but Im thankful for people like him who actually do care enough to never give up on the justice they deserve. Their job is something I could never do, God Bless all of those who do jobs like him. Yall truly are heroes and your job can make a difference.

[@Sparkedbynatty]

So happy she got her papers so she could live where her daughter is! I NEVER EVER EVER understand how someone can dismember a child. Innocent child. Crying :(

[@lisamoreno8443]

The pain in the detectives eyes, the fact he celebrates her birthday, very compelling. I believe she will be there to greet him when he passes

[@irinaboyko7836]

Wow just realized I’m Watching this on February 4th. Farah’s birthday 😪😓 RIP sweet Angel! Happy birthday in heaven! 🌹

[@unusualsuspectsszzzz]

Just way too heartbreaking. It is even more heartbreaking to know that there are many children being abused and even possibly murdered, somewhere right now out there.

[@patriciaR004]

This story hurts my soul. How can people be so evil.

[@RayRayManUtdFan]

Never felt like throwing up watching any crime and I am crime series binge watcher but this case made my stomach turn

[@twinny555]

The fact that they identified her through her finger painting is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 poor baby

[@Abbyravenclaw92]

Her name means Joy and happiness 💔

[@danimillistudio]

This case reminded me of gabriel fernandez. Very sad for sweet children to experience any type of pain. She was probably quiet because she was abused.

[@nylsody5194]

Kudos to these investigators and those who worked on this case. Very rarely do I see this done so respectfully and well.

[@jenng1929]

This poor little angel would be 27 now and didn't even get a chance too experience nothing, no sleepovers, going to prom,her first kiss, going on dates, graduation, probably marriage, etc.... all stole from her by a sadistic lunatic who was her father and I use father loosely cause he was not a father. What gets me is that his wife is out on parole! Wtf! See our justice system needs to be changed, it's not strict enough, we tougher laws like in the USA.

[@kevinbernard9791]

I think it was the stepmother that that tortured this poor kid 😢 they nearly got away with this had it not been for the teacher and esp the eyewitness who acted on a hunch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jporras1439]

So sad. She is running free and happy in Heaven. No pain no sadness.

[@MsShondaRocc]

I pray she didn't suffer too long.. my heart

[@raymondriggio7131]

I remembered this story when it first came out and for years I wondered what happened. I never forgot it or ever will. It's not a crime to report people when we can see abuse. I'm very happy too see the Muslim community come together and honor Farah. God rest her soul.

[@ihuman7253]

What a wonderful man this detective is!

[@debradorfman7940]

Rest in peace, sweet Farah. You are remembered and missed by those who cared.

[@itsmackenzie]

What a precious beautiful girl. So heartbreaking, and then realizing the day her so-called father showed the detective where the rest of her body was I was in the hospital giving birth to my first child and daughter.

[@gracemunich1476]

Still watching and not finished, but why would a six year old commit suicide and then her biological Dad and stepmother dismember her? Not a suicide in my opinion. Happy that her artwork revealed her identity..fingerprints. Very sad 😞

[@Odette321]

That little hand in the video smearing paint on paper got me. She was so tiny like that little child in the re-enactment and they cut her up 😢 I can't even.

[@TheReetchou]

The detective is absolutely amazing. I pray for the people in this type of work field. Unbelievable amount of strength and determination is needed to stand and stick to the truth. God bless them. RIP Farah Khan

[@allabored4443]

I cry for her in 2021. Rest in paradise Farah.

[@moonchildluvsbobcrane]

May she rest in peace. I glad to see people came together to help her birth mother come to lay her daughter to rest.

[@OneBadBeat]

Wow, this detective...bravo

[@corneliawissing7950]

I am impressed with the Muslim community of Toronto.

[@ParmMohan-us6rn]

The worst evil of evils is to murder a young child.

[@Tinthia82]

I just don't understand how people can be so cruel to any living being. This was truly heart wrenching. Especially how the detective remembers this girls birthday and her milestone birthdays.

[@anniehoping5967]

how can this man has the right to decide where this child will be buried?? a child that he killed....unbelievable!!!

[@JustineAgada]

Awful people. Poor girl. She deserved so much better.

[@Atty.Janey2501]

thats 45 minutes of crying

[@madhukarim5910]

Rolf prisor you're efforts was just out of this world, I don't think you get detective's any better than that it's people like you and your determination makes impossible results possible so hats off to you ❤

[@jenmb2679]

I just discovered this show yesterday and its soo good. The pace is kinda slow but still addictive. I can tell everyone is from Canada. Everyone is so nice and soft spoken. Law enforcement is excellent and more efficient. Nobody would ever check schools for absent children here.nobody here would start searching on day 1. Thanks for these uploads. I'm going to sub so hard. 😀

[@beckytraster3729]

The detective’s face through this entire interview. I can’t IMAGINE the pain he carries.

[@elizabethannegrey6285]

Brilliant detective work. Heroic, traumatic, and a wonderful testimony to the perseverance of the police team and the community.

[@myriahg6549]

i could never become a homicide detective when seeing dead bodies and especially a childs body i would break down man

[@shilohashkita2625]

Poor baby. I can’t imagine at her age feeling alone and terrified of her own parents. These type of cases truly make me question religion and God. Why did she have to sufferer so much? How can stepmom be so cold to let that man abuse her? These two monsters should never get out ever.

[@bonniewalker9421]

There is a special place in Hell for this father and stepmother. God bless everyone who helped bring justice for Farrah. God bless Farrah’s mother. Farrah is resting in the ever loving arms of Allah.

[@Xerxesright]

That step mom needs to be still in jail. For life.

[@s.marlenpena9788]

I am just surprised how lawyers defend these kind of people. The extent to lie along with murderers

[@danimillistudio]

I mean, if they didn't want her, just give her to someone else. So many childless parents would have jumped to the moon and back for her. That bastard of a father wasted something he never deserved in the first place

[@m.r8482]

God bless the teacher just amazing

[@jaweriyashah9658]

Detectives hand tell the life that this brave man has lived ❤️

[@nangs2039]

I felt like my chest broke open when the detective spoke about remembering her birthday every year and at what age she'll be at what year. he really cared about her😭

[@saraholsen9191]

This is so sad. These cases bring me to tears. I literally start crying. Its bad. :(

[@PARTISANSDESTROYINGTYRANNY]

Det. Prizer was a damn good cop

[@JstJayn]

I wish the USA handled cases like this with the compassion Canada does. God bless Farah and her mother, as as all the law enforcement officers and the Muslim community involved.♥️

[@amessenger4664]

Why did he not just leave her with her mother if he didn't want her?

[@htcone2066]

Very touching story. Canadians are the best people in the world when it comes humanity.

[@Leney735]

Darling Angel girl 😭💔 my soul is so crushed watching this, this is just so heartbreaking! All the love from Toronto is admirable. This is how we should support and love on eachother no matter the religion, colour or belief. 🙏🏾🥺

[@mariatina72]

Unbelievably cruel.

[@tvted6160]

Never heard of a little girl commit suicide, let alone with a knife to her throat. The dad was truly an idiot. Glad he'll never be free.

[@velvetvixen3001]

She was so beautiful, a girl with a bright smile. May she rest in peace.

[@freedombarbie]

Barbaric father.

[@truetech4158]

Ya no doubt. Another barbaric bronze age knuckle dragger type, is someone who raped his ex wife after they broke up, according to the victim's impact statement that after was read aloud in a courtroom, cost trumpstein million$ to avoid rikers island, then went on to politics as the rape victim signed away her rights to mention the rape ever again. Messed up system eh there canadian person?

[@zoe1882]

That poor little girl and her mother. Why take custody if you don't even like or want her? Should have left her with her mother.

[@747Rocko]

RIP little one ....... and great work to all involved for bringing farah and her mother justice

[@shahidaabdulkhabeer1670]

Mr Prisor I salute your care, concern and sheer determination . Your empathy shines through with your whole being. Thank you Sir 🌹🇿🇦😢

[@shakitashontajones]

God bless this detective and every ones hard work to solve this case... My body could not express the joy of seeing the Muslim community coming together to help the little girl's mom. I am shock at the father and stepmother in their own country these kind of things are normal to beat a girl and kill her just because....

[@WellISaidIt]

As a Pakistani female I have to tell you that it is not normal and frowned upon like any other nation

[@lyndsayw5843]

She will never be forgotten by those of us who were around during this tragedy. Rest in Peace sweet little angel. And thank you to the police and medical examiner, the Muslim community, Mary, her teacher and everyone else who helped to get justice for precious Farah and her beautiful mother. I hope her mum has some peace and I'm so happy she is here now in Canada where her baby is.

[@tayahmoore849]

That detective is special he even celebrates her birthday so sad x

[@RawkerChick27]

they killed that baby over f*cking cookies! and this is why I hate people....

[@samnicole9803]

Haven’t gotten through the video, don’t know who committed the crime yet, but I have to say something. Big respect to the investigators who put so much effort into making sure there wasnt backlash to the Muslim community & that they were using proper terms. Since 9/11 it’s been well known that people will take things out on Muslims who had nothing to do with anything and are good people. Bless them.

[@man86hoos1]

Why and hows Kaneez out . Absolutely shocking. Such a sad sad incident. Little Farah this world wasn't meant for you. Keep shining little angel in heaven.

[@silverblossom9119]

The investigator is a good.man.i see tears in his eyes.i hope the Philippines had 1 like him.

[@thandazileluthuli4037]

The end is near really. How and why on earth would you kill a child??? These people are innocent and very trusting 😭😭😭 I'm hurt

[@mohanimo]

I just went into tears.

[@Ninasky79]

Rest in peace baby girl 👧🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@deeo3602]

Watching on her birthday. May she rest in peace

[@badrubadru4159]

As a mother, this breaks 💔 my heart 💔💔💔

[@christinalikoski4937]

Fantastic work from law enforcement! Australia 💕 Christina

[@CM93H]

watching this on feb 3, then heard him say her birthday is tomorrow, I got so teary

[@moniquerobinson5206]

So, so sad. Farrah, May you Rest In Peace, sweet angel. 🙏😢❤️❤️❤️

[@dakotapiche4013]

Man I could cry 😭 that poor girl rest in paradise little one ❤

[@Yasoo3ismyKing]

Her name means joy in Arabic! She seemed like a bundle of joy. Rest in Jesus arms little angel🤍

[@jenmb2679]

Search shouldnt be over, until they find all the remains

[@Maravillosarosa]

Rest in peace little Angel. So sad I cried the whole documentary. I don't understand why some people are so evil.

[@delilahmontoya4791]

What a precious girl. What a disgrace of a “father”. He can never be forgiven 🥺

[@coybi]

What a sweet looking little girl. I can't believe that humans are actually capable of doing such a horrendous thing. It's just unbelievable to me. And her stepmother looks like she's an apathetic demon possessed witch or something, what the hell
