[@HumanimalChannel]

It s devastating to learn that Brandy has a terminal illness. She is such a fighter, i hope she beats her illness and can personally fulfill her promise to her precious son.

[@wendybond2848]

This is what real grief looks and sounds like. Love and blessings to this family.

[@MichelleMuller-e2g]

Shattered.❤

[@christieneal3392]

Exactly

[@jeanettebooker2500]

People grieve different. It depends alot on what they have lived through. The loss of a child is different I'd think. I wish them peace and love

[@ConspiraTea]

Michael was one of the first cases I covered on my channel and I’m so sad to hear about Brandi’s illness. I really hope and pray that they get the answers they deserve and justice is served for Michael ❤

[@aprilshowers21]

I’ve been following this case since the beginning. Sending Brandi and her family so much love. I hope they are getting support and that Brandi is given all of the time she needs. Monkey needs to be brought home! My heart breaks for them 😢

[@dianewood4799]

This is the first time I’m hearing about Monkey and this is heartbreaking 💔. Sending healing prayers for Mom and justice for Michael. 🙏🤍🙏

[@mindyb1241]

I've followed Monkey's story since the beginning. My heart breaks for Brandy and their family. She's a fighter and a strong momma, I'm very sorry to hear she's dealing with health issues too. 😢Thank you for continuing to cover this, Lauren and John.

[@anaestay6698]

Monkey's mom is a beautiful woman. I almost never post a comment, but she moved me so much. I am so glad you and the community have her back. Much love to all of you from Chile

[@kaylacameron1802]

Thank you John, for showing vulnerability when we all know that you are trained to keep a poker face (for a good reason). I feel I saw a hint of your true feelings, for me that was powerful and brave, and I am sure Brandi felt seen and heard. That balance of professionalism but humanity allows victims like Brandi to trust you both. Thank you for remaining so stoic to allow the story to be told. I hope you know that the community didn't hold back tears, holding that space so you both could remain strong during such a heartbreaking interview.

[@cindydalton9608]

My heart goes out to this family.Michael Monkey Vaughn will be found ..I pray for Brandi to have a miracle with her health .. that she will be healed.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@UlieWalksWithTheKing]

Ahmein!

[@sharp3727]

Amen. ✝️💜✝️

[@makesmewonder6497]

I pray for Gods blessings for Brandi to be strengthened, and completely restored to perfect health❤️❤️🙏

[@LanaLately]

Always a joy to watch Dr John's analysis.

[@leahr5602]

Brandi is the strongest woman I've ever seen. I don't know how she spoke to Stacy without completely losing her mind. So strong, such a great mom. I pray she finds her son soon! Please Lord let her find him. 🙏

[@sandieyule1644]

Dear Lord, I just do not understand how people can be so sick. And now for this dear mother wanting closure before she passes breaks my heart. I did not know about this case, I will keep this dear family in my prayers. I thank you both for what you do for these hurting families. You are both a blessing. I will be hugging my family a bit harder in the morning. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@MartaFonda-si3eb]

Oh my gosh…. I couldn’t watch this live, but thank you so much for showing an update on this case!

[@susanweaver6698]

I missed the live but I’m here for justice for this mother. Mother to mother prayers for you.

[@BobbieXxoo]

As a Mom, I can’t imagine the pain of not knowing where your child is. The sad truth is, these horrible kind of people are out there. They live in our neighborhoods. Don’t let your children outside alone. Keep your eyes on them. They are so precious and not young for long!!! Praying for Monkey and his family!!! 😢

[@patriciaseybold7396]

You two are such a class act. Thank you for not giving up on this case and your incredible sensitivity toward Brandi.

[@denisia1111]

I hate this. My heart breaks for Brandi and her family(especially the kids). There was a terrible murder in my hometown that made national news involving a young pregnant woman. Three people helped cover up the crime after the fact and all three are walking free. They made deals with the prosecution in order to locate Ryann and charge Jesse. That case made me sick to know people with literal blood on their hands are free but I'm feeling different right now. Sometimes you need to made a deal with the devil. Something needs to happen because Brandi needs her baby and she needs to see justice prevail.

[@HomeGrownCountryGirl]

I use to drive through Fruitland, ID while driving truck quite frequently. When this happened that little boys face was posted on every light post, sign board, every bathroom, all over town. My heart broke. God bless that family.

[@CherylBowen-s3v]

I’m so sorry Brandy… we will support this search for Michael 💔💞

[@shimmerbear60]

My husband frequently changes oil but at home. Never at the side of the road!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

We don't even do it at home anymore. We take it in and get tires rotated at the same time.

[@odinsdottir3898]

I just heard about this confession earlier but hadn't heard any of it. I'm so glad all 3 of you are here to help us through this. Prayers for peace to Brandy. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@Moonchild14928]

This woman breaks my heart. God bless her and strengthen her. Prayers for all🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@berniemasterson6797]

The look on Wondra's face when he didnt get to speak to his mother immediately was pure evil. i hope this case gets solved soon, this poor woman and her family must be in so much pain every day. Thank you for your channel guys. Stay well

[@katemarks7928]

This is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry to Brandi and her family. What an incredibly strong woman, but I'm so sorry she had to be.

[@Codered810]

The strength of this woman is unmatched by any. Even being ill her strength and determination is unmatchable

[@Rita-yw2tn]

Since day one of hearing of this happening every time that I see Michaels sweet little face my heart breaks for him and for Brandi . I can’t imagine her pain no one should ever have to deal with something like this ever ! Sending love and prayers to her bless her heart . 🙏🏻

[@rachelhansen2417]

I’m fighting back tears on this one. I hope he can be found soon, but we will all keep fighting for him.

[@ProofBeyond]

Im in Australia, but, I think of Monkey often and google to see if there’s any updates. Thank you for this stream, and a huge thank you to Brandi ❤️

[@LK-252]

Oh Brandy my heart breaks for you and wee Monkey. What an utter nightmare. And now you are battling a life threatening illness. Its too much. What a wonderful Mum you are keeping up the pressure in the face of it all. I am praying for resolution.

[@TraceD007]

Brandi Neal Vaughn you are a strong mama and advocate for you baby boy, Monkey. Just know you have a lot of support. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 💙🙏

[@Haybug11992]

Bless this mothers heart. The grief and hurt she is expressing is heartbreaking to see. Justice for Monkey! You have our support from Arkansas.

[@InternationalMysteries360]

He told Lauren he was lying about this information because he figured they would keep asking him for a confession. He seemed to want to make himself into a good guy, delusions of grandeur that he is heroic, when really he is not a good person.

[@jfarm_1311]

This case is so sad. Even if they find Monkey they won’t be able to prove which one actually hurt him at this point. And a jury in this day and age needs to see the crime committed in real time practically to convict. I hope they find the evidence they need to find monkey and get a conviction 🙏

[@jameydressler2791]

This piece of garbage makes me sick!!! Then to think he is acting/saying like he had no part in the digging process!!! Go figure!!! He has done nothing but evil his whole life and apparently evil doesn’t even need to take any exertion!! This poor Mother/family!!! And this poor baby boy!!!!! :(

[@brigittebowman9113]

Thanks Lauren and Dr John and a huge thankyou to Michael's mother Brandi for coming on Hidden True Crime. It's difficult to find words but from one mother to another, I pray for her and her family for Monkey's return to them. I also send Brandi love and strength in her health battle ❤️ 🙏 Life can be so cruel and unfair 💔 her heartache is palpable. This was difficult to watch but thankyou for this dreadfully sad story 😢xx

[@misse2013]

Heartbreaking 💔 I hope Brandy can stay strong and overcome this illness she's battling ❤ Monkey WILL get justice!

[@eclecticdom]

I've never stopped thinking about him . I appreciate the update

[@blazefairchild465]

Thank-you Brandy ,for coming on the channel again. My heart breaks for you every time you have to reexplain how Mikey “monkey” was just seen shortly before he went missing. I have followed you since the beginning & had thought Stacy’s wife is still in prison .that the case would be getting close to finding your son.

[@adelebertrand9582]

Bless u Lauren and John! Feeling the emotions coming from ur heart and soul!💕 Brandi is such a courageous Mum! Her fight is inspirational and totally heartbreaking bless her! I'm in tears!😢 Can't even begin 2 fathom the amount of pain and anguish Brandi and her family r going through! It honestly breaks my heart!💔 justice 4 Monkey!❤ X

[@SP-in7xv]

Would sure like to see major sentence enhancers for all crimes against children.

[@brighteyes53]

😢this is just sooo sad and heartbreaking. I pray for Brandi to heal,and little Monkey be brought home so you all can at least know he is home. I also pray for Monkey dad and rest of the family, my soul is broken by this case and i pray for LE to go strong forward,he is out there 😢😢much love from Brita in norway

[@patriciaseybold7396]

Prayers and peace together go out to the Vaughn family

[@teti4720]

Dr John is so genuinër and attentive ❤

[@aprilschoen5253]

God love this woman. I pray for justice. I cant imagine what this family has been thru! Thank you forkeeping "Michael" Monkey alive

[@christieneal3392]

Praying for this strong mother and her Michael. Praying for his safe return to her and justice for them both🙏🏻❤️

[@maryE-fk7om]

Why,why did this horrendous murder happen? Why? This is so heartbreaking for the mom and family. I will pray everyday for this to come to a conclusion. People are just so warped.

[@all_that_glitters13131]

This poor mother my heart ♥️ goes out to her

[@carollovinalaska8620]

Thank all three of you for this update.! I had been talking to a family member who lives in Idaho and had not heard anything.! Yes I agree with John I have grandchildren Michaels age it hits home hard. ❤️‍🩹 Brandy sending you lots of Prayers and well wishes with what you are battling with medically. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜🦋

[@mccartyzoe]

They so deserve justice ! I’m so sorry and sending you love and prayers

[@Melmelba]

I haven’t heard of this case. I’m heartbroken for Brandi. Jesus has precious Michael now. Praying answers come quickly.

[@chairk4119]

What a sad but well-done interview. Much respect and contuined prayers of Strength for Monkey's family.

[@moonchild7542]

I have prayed for Michael and his family for a few years now. I can't believe its been almost 4 years since he was abducted. I'm sure it feels like an eternity to Brandy. I hope and pray y'all get answers.

[@janootie184life8]

This mothers interview broke my heart more then any other I've ever seen. I've seen her on shows before but the additional layer of illness makes my heart break for her even more.

[@zb611]

My heart goes out to Brandy, Monkey’s mom & her and family 😢❤ Thank you to John and Lauren for giving Brandy a platform to let us know Monkey is still missing. Unfortunately, I am one of many who thought those 4 monsters charged and convicted and to find out they’ve not only not been but that Monkey and his family are getting NO attention or support is maddening!! Please help spread the word and bring these cruel evil monsters to justice!!!

[@Petty_Mason]

Brandy - we'll do everything we can to get you answers while you are here

[@LynetteA68]

What’s wrong with her?

[@Petty_Mason]

@ she said she has a life threatening illness and that it’s her mission for us to see that Monkey has justice

[@judieahmed98]

Thank you for addressing this! Poor Brandi. 🙏✝️💕

[@indigo278]

Sharing on my social media fed to help bring awareness.

[@brandeberryb84]

I have been waiting to hear you talk about this. ❤ Thank you. This little boy deserves justice. But truly so much more.

[@LinJen2]

This story is so tragic. A little boy disappearing from Fruitland Idaho. We have had our share of cases in Idaho. It is just so sad that crime has reared its ugly head here in the last couple of years. Praying for his mother and family in this time of heartbreak. I pray also that he is found soon.

[@amygreen758]

In the prior Hidden True Crime interview with Stacey, he said he knew the boy was not really buried in the backyard. If that's the case, Stacey knows where the other place is, that the boy is burried. If you know he's not in the backyard, then you DO KNOW something. If you really knew nothing, you'd know the boy could be in the backyard or could be anywhere. So sorry for the many tragedies faced by the family. They have waited way too long for justice. I hope it comes.

[@TheTrailOfDestruction]

I’ve been waiting so long for new coverage on your channel. Thank you sharing Monkeys story 🩵

[@djeniiala]

Sending love and prayers to Brandy

[@Lynn-zx3th]

So going on what he said to officers that his body was buried in his back yard. Has LE ever came out and said whether or not there were any anomalies in the ground in the backyard or around the house? Anywhere they thought a body could have been? I’m wondering if he was moved because co-conspirators moved him because they were worried since he was in jail he might talk to try to get less time if he led them to his body?? Edit to say: I would love to join your guys patreon. I think you’re both brilliant & together bring such a professional unique aspect & understanding to these horrible situations. I’ve been through one myself. All that just to say I’d love to join, but my husband won’t give me the $ to. 🤬

[@starflower703]

The search dogs did alert and evidence was found to indicate a body had been buried there; but it was moved before the police came.

[@KathrynClaeys-vv7ct]

This is so heartbreaking, I became aware of this case because of you Lauren and Dr. John. Thank you for spreading awareness and fighting for Brandi and sweet Monkey. I pray for justice and hope we can help help this family find peace❤️

[@DeeLish2000]

I can’t believe Idaho is once again part of horrendous murder case especially involving children!

[@brendaredmond4678]

If Stacey watched Sarah dig the hole and bury Michael, wouldn't he know what color the garbage bag was? Also, I think they missed a huge opportunity. They should have facilitated a call between Stacey and his mom so they could listen in. He just talked about burying a child in the yard and wanted to talk to his mom. What would he have said.

[@brighteyes53]

I was thinking the same

[@starflower703]

I believe there was at least one call between Stacey and his mom, but I don’t know if it’s been released.

[@DeeLish2000]

I wondered if Stacy was promised a phone call to his mom if he gave the police some kind of confession . He probably didn’t get it because nothing was found

[@lindaanglisano1448]

I was shocked when the suspect Stacey asked to have communication with his Mom when this poor mother will never be able to talk to her child on this earth again! I hope she can one day in heaven 😢

[@cherylschumaker1366]

We stand with You Brandi and Family We are here for YOU and Micheal

[@kimmoore2987]

Brandy,God is with you!

[@MartaFonda-si3eb]

Justice for Monkey… 💖🙏

[@Julia3wcd]

My heart breaks for Brandi. I remember when Monkey went missing, I was constantly googling Michael Vaughn for updates, when they were excavating the backyard I thought this is it they are going to bring Monkey home. Then recently Stacy was on a podcast, he was answering Brandi’s questions, I wanted to jump through my tv. Thank you Lauren and Dr. John, you both are amazing humans ❤️

[@savage_optimist]

That's how I am with Sebastian Rogers 💔💔

[@robyn874]

Brandi & her family have been so courageous throughout this horrendous case. Their love shows no bounds they've never given up. Our heart break, there are no words to bring them comfort. Everybody that's able are trying to bring their baby home. It will happen ❤

[@HumanimalChannel]

Brandy has had to endure so much besides the loss of her son "Monkey" Michael Vaughan, she has been put under the microscopes of some very cruel people, with no rhyme or reason to their harassment of her. The story of how Michael went missing just shows that fortunes can turn on a dime. From minute to minute... from a future, to a horror show.

[@Codered810]

We will never forget Monkey!!! The perpetrators of this vile evil act will pay!

[@shonabeggs4640]

I can't imagine this family's heartbreak to hear that Brandi's health is not good is just too much. We think losing a child in any circumstance must be the worst pain,but to not know where they are must be added torture. I pray for Brandi and her family to find Michael and lay him to rest with the dignity he deserves. 🙏❤️

[@katerinakanavos8561]

So heartbreaking 💔 I cannot even imagine how someone can harm another, especially an innocent child. I think that’s why I’ve been drawn to true crime, to seek those answers, to try to comprehend it, but there is no way too. What these monsters do, is beyond evil, and I don’t know that I will ever fully understand or grasp it, but I know I can support and pray for each and every one of us that are on this side of this battlefield. There is evil in this world and it is after our children! We must do within our power to protect and prevent this from keep on happening! Please hug and love your babies a little longer, and stay alert, watchful and please pray with your babies. We need God and his Angels protecting these precious souls. 🙏🏻❤️

[@doglover44]

🙏❤️ Michael, Brandi and family. Thank you for this Lauren and Dr. John❤

Thank you, Lauren & Dr John... for again, covering this unbelievably & endlessly painful case. With all my heart...I pray for Brandi & family.🙏🙏🙏

[@isabelpark7650]

Thank you Lauren for bringing this case to attention. I had never heard if it. In the interview the gug in the orange, well I can't say what I think of him on here.

[@Dr.Michelle]

Thank you Lauren & Dr.J for keeping Monkey's case alive. I am here to support & help Brandy, compliments of me.🙏 Please DM me if I can connect with her. Sending lots of prayers & blessings to the family. XO Dr.Michelle🩷🙏

[@susandubron9863]

Brandy, you are in my prayers. There are so many that will carry on for you and Michael.💔

[@dreabenson7228]

Oh his mom looks so sad. She’s looks like this has broken her down. So sorry for this family.

[@ElleVee1980]

This poor boy and his family have been in my mind for all these years. My son was 2 when Michael went missing and now he's 5. It tears me up thinking about what could have happened to the sweet baby Monkey. Having to see these losers so free out yapping makes me furious and my heart aches for Brandi. I can't even hardly watch this. 😢 i hope she's better soon with whatever her illness is.

[@gehudon]

I had not heard of this case and I will follow now and say MANY MANY PRayers For mom and son! 😢😢😢😢. Tx you guys! You’re fantastic! ‼️‼️‼️🫶💖🥰♥️

[@lindellwaldronjohnson]

The police should have arrested her and not let go. IMO the so called cops failed this precious family. My prayers to you Mamma 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@COEXIST-ny4db]

I'm absolutely DYING for Brandi. She's such an amazing woman. So much love... honesty... integrity.... I'm absolutely sick that she's battling a life threatening illness. Our world is just so freaking UNFAIR!!! I'll never understand why God can give so much to one person.... one family.... It's said God never gives you more than you can handle. But sometimes I wonder if he forgets just how much he's dished out to some. Brandy.... I'm praying for you all. I pray for your health. I pray Monkey comes home YESTERDAY!!!

[@MaribethKing-j5v]

Why would this monster want to harm a little boy? It blows my mind!

[@isabelpark7650]

These c r e e p s don't need a reason. And the horrifying thing is there are so many out there. You might protect your child, but it just takes a couple of minutes and your child is gone. Scary.

[@lisaray9778]

I will share this. Michael will never be forgotten. Nor will you Brandi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Heidifay1]

I think about this case every single day. I have so much respect for Brandi and Tyler. I’ve never understood why this case hasn’t been followed more by the mainstream media. I hope in light of the new video being released, it will be covered more to help Brandi fulfill her promise. What a beautiful soul she is. Her love for Monkey and their other children touches my heart and reminds me daily to cherish my loved ones.❤

[@annalapoint7156]

Never heard of this case before! God bless you, Brandi! Hugs and prayers! 😍

[@isabelpark7650]

OMG. Please someone tell her where her son is. I believe this woman is surviving from shear determination. My heart is so torm for. Please God bring her son home💜.

[@elizabethlacey7708]

Justice for Monkey!!!!

[@lindellwaldronjohnson]

I’m praying for you Brandi and your whole family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@carrow1057]

first i have heard of this case. that alone disappoints me. Where was the exposure for this case? Horrific. I dont even know what to say anymore to the parents of abducted children. we must keep exposing these vile beasts.

[@Smokyapparition]

I live near Boise. It was immediately on the news and still is at times. Posters and billboards everywhere. It's a real heartbreaker.

[@samhaley-s7j]

Gut wrenching…. My heart is so broken for this family.

[@sharongrigg5336]

Im from the UK but I've thought of Michael & he's gorgeous little face often. I've checked from time to time for any updates & I'm so saddened to hear there's been none. My heart goes out to Brandy, her loved ones & send her all my heartfelt wishes with her health.

[@barbarah7089]

[@mariabarrett9322]

Following from day one from Ireland 🇮🇪 thanks for the update this is heartbreaking god love them all 🙏

[@janootie184life8]

Personally I think Stacey is lying thru his teeth about the location. He was playing the game with law enforcement big time. He's no doubt involved but this whole thing was for attention.
