A simple google search shows that cadaver dogs can smell human remains up to at least 10 feet underground, as well as through concrete, debris, refuse, underwater. They can also distinguish human remains from animal remains. There’s no way a few blankets would throw them off the track. That body wasn’t there when they were.

It is quite strange that no one has found that story of interest. After seeing that segment, I paused the video to go do some quick internet research on the incidence of mental illness in South Korea (quite high) because, even though plenty of people all over the world are mentally ill, South Korea has a rep in this regard.

That is absolutely Rediculous! A horrible and horrific way for ANYONE to Murder their own Daughter? Let alone one so tiny? Do you even realize how plausible, how possible this could accidently happen to ANY child in their sleep, let alone one with mobility disabilities? The Child could get around. But think about this? There were many child/ Toddler Deaths in the United States before the 1980's due to single and twin beds that were equipped with child guards! In the 1980's Crib Bumpers were Changed due to new Safety Protocols because of Infants Suffocating. Asphyxiation and Broken Limbs! were complaints Reported by Children's Hospitals and Pediatricians due to the installation of Bed Guards for Toddlers. The Guards were solid and Toddlers were rolling into them in their sleep getting pinned between the bedframe and Guard in their bedding and suffocating! Baby Bumpers for Cribs were also a cause for Suffocation. So, it is possible for a small child to wiggle in their bedding, slide between the mattress and bedframe upsidedown and get stuck. In a matter of minutes they would die from Positional Asphyxiation! Tiny lungs do not take long An adult in a position not able to expand their chest could die from Positional Asphyxiation very quickly. With several blankets slowing the flow of air? Even faster. Let's just say this would be quicker than a child putting a plastic bag over their head! No Parent would even think of such a rediculous way to Murder their child let alone leave their Daughter to Decay for 9 days and let Relatives sleep in the same bed! That is absolutely disgusting and heartless! A Mother's Intuition would have kicked in way, way sooner than this? And she would have never, ever left her two Daughters with him. Let alone sent them away on a Vacation with him?

[@DneilB007]

I suspect that the money might actually have been his. There’s still a pretty lucrative market in unlawfully exported Russian Orthodox religious icons. If he & a couple of the other Russians were involved in the black market and were discovered by the captain, it’s likely that they decided that murder was the best way out of the situation. Then the sole survivor was able to get rid of his partner(s) and hit the open waters, hoping that the fire would have corroborated his story.

It's disgusting that Mexico cops are even more corrupt and criminal than US police. A family friend was kidnapped and held ransom by Mexican cops when he'd chartered a boat to go fishing in Baja. They demanded to be paid off to let him go, and when he couldn't, they held him in deplorable conditions. They thought he was rich cuz he was on a boat, and wanted to extort his family for huge amounts of money. He was there for two whole months before getting him back, he was never the same after that.

"There's something horrible in THIS bed!" I said the same thing the other night, when I saw one of those hairy centipedes running along the end of my bed. I swear, right when I looked at it, it turned and started trucking directly towards me. I've never jumped out of anything that fast. I feel lucky to be alive. That centipede is still out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

[@ambergrack7117]

Okay. You see that many parents leave their rooms just as they were when the child went missing. This mom is letting people sit on what should be a sacred place to her especially at that time. And letting other people sleep in her bed! That would have made me suspicious.

[@-xxMelissaxx-]

Out of all the things you could pick out to be suspicious of, that's so weird. Having someone sleep in the bed (that isn't "sacred") actually works in the parent's favor of being innocent. Why would they let anyone in there to sit on the bed and even sleep in it if the kid's body was in there. Makes no sense.

[@Vegan_Vlogs]

​@@-xxMelissaxx-there is no way the body was there as even humans can smell decaying flesh pretty well, and they knew the body isn't there that's why they'd allow someone to sleep there. Most parents keep their missing/deceased children's rooms completely untouched

[@mommy2libras]

That's the stupidest theory for guilt I think I've ever heard. SOME parents do leave their kid's rooms the way they were, some even not ever letting people in. The vast majority do not and almost none are guilty of any wrongdoing with their child. Please never serve on a jury because believing something you completely made up to decide guilt will definitely get some person in trouble or allow a guilty one to go free.

This baby didn't seem to have a hx of scooting anywhere on the bed. Her little body doesn't seem to have been strong enough. So yes I believe the parent(s) lnew more but covered it up. Poor baby, what a terrible way to pass on as a adult little lone as a 4 yr. old. 😥😓

the parents hated each other during the entire process so much that the reason he didn’t attend was because the mom and her family were gonna be there, he and his family had like a vigil the day before but none of them attended the funeral, don’t get me wrong i think he was definitely involved but i (and most people who know about the case) think it was probably the mom but the dad covered everything up and yeah there’s just no way she was in the bed the entire time

I understand that in criminal court, the proof has to be beyond a reasonable doubt, but this is quite frustrating. Like sure, it's probably not enough evidence to pin the murder on him, but like surely there's crimes against tampering with the crime scene, cause if he's the only survivor, everything like the diesel and the missing bodies would have to be him alone, right? Letting him keep the money was just a slap on the face for the people that died.
