Missing Girl Found in the Most UNEXPECTED Way | Documentary

[@KateElizabeth1013]

While this whole story is shocking, the fact that an 18 year old girl who is 8 months pregnant and homeless is in such a desperate position that she meets up with a stranger off Craigslist to have sex in some random ass park in the middle of the night for just $50 is absolutely heartbreaking..

[@Taelyr]

So true. Why couldn’t she just live with her mom? She was barely 18, her mom seemed like she didn’t get involved in her daughter’s personal life at all. Idk, I’m best friends with my mom and I couldn’t imagine her letting me live on the streets pregnant and a teenager. I’m not saying this was her fault at all, but I do believe her mom let her down.

[@androgynylunacy]

Yea, her mom let her down. Her mom was clearly emotionally absent. I thought that too I would never let my pregnant daughter be on the street. It is dangerous out there. That shows a lack of care and concern. And she was basically still a child, if you ask me. Like wtff. And I bet the mom doesn't lose one wink of sleep at night knowing she allowed her pregnant teenage daughter to be out on the streets. No sense of "it was partly my fault" in any way.

[@Taelyr]

[@totallyjaded1658]

I’m sure narrator said that they couldn’t meet at their place.prob the mothers house if she already had the nursery ready. Can’t have a paying customer come over so you sell yourself can you. Not sure how mother is ‘clearly’ emotionally absent?

[@Crim3Watch3r]

$120+40 for bareback! That's more than $50 and when you're struggling, homeless and probably on drugs, you're gonna need that money regardless. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Idk how to explain this but. The part about him squeezing hands too hard when he was greeting someone? I’ve had that happen before and it was such a creepy feeling.. I was bartending and someone I was waiting on introduced himself and offered his hand so I shook it and he hurt me he squeezed so hard. I acted like nothing happened but he had a smirk on his face like he knew he did it. Creepiest feeling ever.

[@maironoakley4299]

That comment resounded with me too. It is definitely a thing that creepy guys do. A dominance thing. It is gross and scary.

[@mischr13]

A lot of guys do that as some sort of dominance thing, it's so pathetic. It's like they heard of a "good, strong handshake" and go way overboard and performative. No one is impressed by getting their hand squished lol. We should phase out handshakes anyways. I don't wanna touch a strangers hands. who knows where it's been??

Without consent, it's cruelty and criminal. With consent, it's providing a safe space to be vulnerable. The physical acts are part of a psychological and physiological experience rather than an end unto themselves. Safe word(s) revoke consent, which makes the "sub" ultimately in control as they can make it stop. Doms know and push but ultimately respect limits. Abusers don't.

[@DashingToJapan]

​​@@andiward7068sadly the fine line between the two is the worst part with me. I'm a sub myself and have been in wayyyyyy too many situations and relationships where it was just abuse.

Brooke probably wanted to move in with her Mother, but Charlie had too strong of a grasp on her! Don’t just assume that Deb didn’t offer Brooke a place to live!! How about instead of that, we empathize and understand that Deb is tormented & grieving! How about we have some compassion and understand that we don’t know everything!!

bro people take their fetishes too far. shoulda been a red flag when she was told to get into a suitcase. why would you consent to that. not her fault things happened to her it’s just insane ppl take their sex lives so far

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Fetishes aren't inherently bad, nor is any sort of kink. But engaging in kink with a complete stranger with absolutely no planning, safewords, or even knowing if you can trust the person not to really harm you is insane.

It was "Melissa" who INSANELY agreed to that, but was miraculously not murdered. Brooke was the one murdered, and found in the suitcase after her and weird boyfriend agreed to even more INSANE things.

I'm thinking of Deb too. She created a nursery in a spare room for a baby and never even called a welfare check on her drug taking, hooking, emaciated, pregnant teenager. Deb will need to be strong to not absolutely hate herself for not being a better mother.

​@@JaguarRacingTeamX Shame!😠 Get off your high horse!!! You don't know anything about these people, just an article or video on the VICTIM of a cruel crime! You have NO idea what Deb went through while her daughter was alive! You have NO idea whether she bent over backwards trying to help her. You don't know what measures she took!!! What people become when they become adults doesn't mean their parents were bad parents. Teens often simply fall in with shitty crowd. I was lucky, my family moved often due to work or I may have fallen with the wrong crowd too. Teenagers want to grow up, experience life and experiment too. Parents can be blue in the face trying to straighten out their kids. You obviously don't have kids. Thank goodness. Keep it that way.

Shut up. My horse is at eye level. You don't know anything about the case. I happened to find out more about it than what's here. Reliable sources from their town. And again why was she hooking for $50 when her mother had money to buy and make a nursery? Worried about catching the flu, but not worried about screwing a strange man bare-back? Is THAT what you call teenage hijinks? I can tell you don't have kids otherwise you'd ask why and how she got to that point. And no her mother never requested to a welfare check nor any other legal means to get this under control before she ended up advertising sex on Craigslist. She did not finish highschool and got pregnant at 17 by an abusive manipulated 25y/o man whom she'd been sleeping with since 15. Talk to me about where her mother was during her teen years and the statutory rape charge filed against Charlie. No? Cause there was none. Soooo at 15 she had no control whatsoever? You cannot be that dense. And "...no control over what they become when they are adults"????? SHE WASN'T AN ADULT. Did you miss that? All this was done to a very misguided, lost, drug addicted, codependent, low self esteemed pregnant teen girl. If she was 30 and this happened no one would care if she was hooking in a park pregnant and on drugs at midnight with Charlie. And yeah he'd done this before with her. It was not the first time he had her do that for money. There is far more to the "behind the scenes" but if you want to lay this ALL at the feet of poor girl that needed guidance and better parenting when she hit puberty, then by all means, Deb is a saint and a perfect mother.@@abelis644

Here's the serious answer though: good people who do no wrong don't end up in situations like that, there had to be a hard motivator involved like drugs or just a bad influence encouraging it, and what happened to them won't suddenly change the motive behind doing something like that.

[@KackieJennedy]

What I truly can't fathom is the fact that these kids had seemingly normal parents with homes of their own and yet, their kids opted to live their lives in uncertainty, poverty and crime. Why? I'd rather live with my parents (as I did) until I put my ducks in a row than hooking up with some trash people, couch-surfing, and being ass broke+begging strangers for money. Kids, stay on your ass, educate yourselves, get a job, and THEN move out and find your ways. ☹️

[@MostDecentNA]

I think there’s likely a lot left out of the story for the sake of giving the victims dignity. I understand this, but I also can’t fathom putting myself in a situation like this. I did some reckless things in my teens and early 20’s, but this is incredibly high risk behavior. No one deserves what happened to these kids, but I feel most for her unborn child who never had a chance. The parents failed her before she was ever allowed to grow up and make her own mistakes. Such a tragic case.

I have guns so don't be startled when you get here." AND THEY DO IT. They say things like, "please don't be a serial killer." AND THEY STILL DO IT. Once I borrowed a friend's van for a group camping trip. When I arrived, I hopped out and yelled, "hey everyone...I have puppies and candy in here." ...you know, to be funny cause it's stereotypical. But EVERY SINGLE WOMAN came running over. I've never met them before either so it's not like they recognized me as someone they knew. It was hilarious...I was baffled that actually still works. People gave Ted bundy too much credit...he didn't charm anyone. Women make terribly risky decisions.

I know the mom thinks she was the sweetest person ever. and I’m sure she was… but most of the times with stuff like this, there’s drugs involved. Which is probably why she couldn’t go to her mom for the money too. I’m sure she was practically estranged bc of the boyfriend and drugs. I’m sure he was doing them with her if he was okay with taking her to sell herself to a stranger while she was 8 months pregnant with his baby. This is such a sad story.

His behaviors as described by roommates points directly to a psychosis of unrealistic anxiety about normal things. That "bottle peeing" is very much connected to extreme OCD, as is the really messy surroundings and failure to bathe (remember Howard Hughes?). It is also connected to the aggressive hand-shaking. He cannot control his anxiety, but he can exert control through a handshake, by showing off his firearms in front of children, and engaging in fantasy role-playing games. Finding ways to be dominant probably balanced his un-diagnosed psychosis, which helped "flip the switch" into an alternate reality.
