The frequency of the ads on KZbin is just about unwatchable. 2 minutes of video ad 2 minutes ad cmon man

[@prideofalion]

Pay for premium. It's worth it.

[@shilohbell1573]

They were so close to finding her alive! 💔💔

[@donaldduck9493]

this happened less than an hour away from me when i was 9. I remember going to the silo site here she was found and they had set up a memorial. I placed one of my toys there for her. Something we will always remember.

2:57 uhh... wut? The one person responsible for her own child +2 other children that belong to someone else, during a sleepover and the next morning,"turns in early and takes medicine that will block all noise" ? Suuuuuuper safe and responsible Could've prevented much of this

[@fetus2280]

Saved me from typing that out, thank you. that set me right off hearing that one. thats beyond stupid to do.

[@arveyilleszender5809]

That’s a bit too simplified. It was probably a benzo. Could have be woken relatively easily by the girls. But the girls were silenced by the intruder. The chances of someone going in and doing that to a group of children must be millions to one. Freak incident.

One can't even find information about Polly's mother online. Her dad became a advocate for missing children and it's easy to find info about him even interviews here on KZbin. But the mom I've only found out her name is Eve Nichols don't know what she's doing now or where she is. There's very little info about what kind of medication she took that night and speculation. I've known about this case for a long time but didn't know she had medicated herself so heavily. I always assumed that the girls had just been told not to make any noise but if her mom wasn't so deep asleep I wonder would she have heard something....sad all around

My heart goes out to Polly, her family, and loved ones. :( This is so heartbreaking.

It all felt like that town was 30 years behind. In Alaska if you smelt like beer let alone popping open one and taking a chug would have had you arrested faster than you could say boo and at the first refusal would have gotten you in cuffs faster.

Hard to take him serious with that Rambo head tie

“the second sketch looked like a person” 😂😂😂😂

[@S.H.A.D.O.999]

IKR...Did the first one look like a still-life bowl of fruit?

It’s just some crayon drawing of a stick figure in one color

[@brendadion7868]

I don't mean to be hurtful, insensitive or anything like that at all..but WHY would you take medication that would compromise your ability to hear or otherwise be unaware of what was going on around you when you were not only responsible for your own young daughter, but for 2 others as well?? Other people's children! I'm sorry..but I just don't understand this. I've suffered with migraines for most of my life. I know they can be awful, debilitating. I also have 5 children and 10 grandchildren. This is not a decision I would have made, no matter how much pain I was in.

[@chilledforensics]

It’s 1993 but it seems weird they couldn’t have taken him in if they found empty beer cans in his car and he smelled like beer and ran his car off the road. He may have passed the roadside tests but all of that seems like reason to not just let him go.

[@brendadion7868]

I completely agree. Sadly, drunk/impaired drivers back then faced even fewer consequences than they do now. 😢

[@brendadion7868]

But for me, the real question is how was this creep still walking around after all his previous history of kidnapping, intent to rape, assault etc..??? The "system" as a whole failed this poor child..as they so often do.

[@celtichammer2847]

Lol an FBI & a SWAT team to surround a house due to two prank phone callers & the real drunk pedo killer surrounded & questioned by cops but they help tow his car out and let him go Scott free! 🤔 😆... Its like a Leslie Nelson comedy sketch scene directly from Police Squad! & The Naked Gun. "Frank, we've just recieved a written profile of the suspect, 6ft tall, brown eyes, aged 35 unemployed, married three kids, that didn't work out so he married a real woman." 👀 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Um excuse me Santa Rosa CA is where it's at, 🧡🧡🧡

[@MurderHornet-mo3tm]

[@corybritton1966]

You just watched a documentary about the abduction, molestation, and murder of a beautiful, innocent twelve year old girl, and the energy you expend to post a comment is to share ironic humor??? Wtf man

[@GypsyRock]

Yasss!! Mixed with some benecio del toro

[@GypsyRock]

And 1:33 looks like Denis Leary

[@joeygarcia6783]
