SOLVED AFTER NEARLY 30 YEARS: The Case of Mandy Stavik

[@rinal1315]

Why are there no comments thanking Kim for doing everything she could to get his DNA?? She was so brave knowing he could have caught on and being aware of his anger issues and she waited 3 whole months for the opportunity, had she gradually took her eye off the ball sometimes, she would have missed this one chance with the coke can and water cup! She’s so brave and should be proud of herself for being a key to giving Maddy’s family closure finally❤

Thank you Kim!

[@justlikemagic111]

so so so true! i really wish people spoke up, it would have solved things really fast. it's literally a shame

[@Noey87]

Shame is exactly what kept people from speaking up and naming this dude as the killer. If they would have been wrong it could have ruined their lives, and if they were right they still could have had repercussions.

[@leoniedoyle8484]

This is so true. It can also be true that they felt unsafe speaking up bc of how creepy that loser was.

[@norealname1965]

riiight... this was 30 years ago. You know what would have happened if these young women had accused this guy to be a creep? They would have been dismissed by police and made a target of that dudes anger. It's hard enough today for women reporting such things. How many women end up dead because the first victim reporting an incident just gets declared to be "too sensitive" and "just take it as a compliment"

[@totally_a_spy]

People say not to gossip but gossiping can save lives. Its important to share information

1. There is so much power in community. 2. Misogyny, even in its ‘tiniest’ form is never harmless and should never go unnoticed. 3. Always trust your gut! Poor Mandy, glad she got justice

"Community" has literally been my word of the year! Unity is so incredibly important in this current generation of violence, loneliness, and depression. This comment needs an award. lol

[@hamtoad7159]

istg 90% of murders like this would not happen if misogyny was taken seriously and misogynistic men were viewed as the threats that they are. this is honestly what makes me the angriest ab cases like this. how many women and girls need to die before people stop defending or ignoring men like this.

[@cashorn2005]

So much tragedy in one family is heartbreaking. Glad they finally solved Mandy’s case!

[@angelaeubanks4027]

Thank you for covering this case Bella! Mandy's murder changed my life and the life of my husband and every other child who went from being carefree running around town with little supervision, at least until the street lights came on. I woke up the morning after the day she went missing and there were hundreds of ppl at the fire department a block down the road as well as more county and state Police than I'd ever seen at one time. At breakfast my grandpa sat down with us and told us Mandy was missing and we weren't to leave the house unless we were in groups of 4 or more and a parent outside with us. You'd think we would be angry about the new lack of freedom, but we were so scared that we welcomed an overprotective parent tagging along with us all the time. The mention of her name would reduce any mature teenager or adult to tears. We were so frustrated with the case going cold. My husband and I were shocked when Whatcom county Sheriff's office did the press release announcing the arrest of that evil POS! Mary was both of my children's bus driver and I remember when I was standing at the bottom of my quarter mile long driveway with my daughter waiting for the bus and Mary very sharply told me that I was never to stand on the road and wait for her because our house is one of like 10 houses and they're all very spread out, so someone could very easily grab me or my daughter and no one would see or hear our cries. I was so busy with an infant and a toddler that I totally didn't think about the danger I could've put myself in. I waited at the bottom of the hill behind a tree after that and Mary would honk and wait for us to walk up the hill and then she sat there while I jogged back down the hill and around the corner where traffic could no longer see me. We had this routine for like 8yrs. Again, thank you for telling Mandy's story! RIP Mandy Stavic forever young beautiful and in all our hearts! 💜

[@jourdyngroman]

thank you for sharing that routine you had with Mary. sounds like she took all of the kids under her wing to protect them once she lost so many of her own 🖤

He’s definitely guilty. He just says he’s innocent to try and get away with it because Mandy can’t be here to speak/defend for herself so I think he thinks he’s in control of the story as the only person that knows what happened. His reaction when they got his dna and the fact he didn’t throw anything away in public so police wouldn’t get his dna, his reaction first hearing her name when the police came to question him, suddenly out of nowhere saying that they were in a relationship, how he treats women, etc to me big red flags

[@florence.5088]

I'm kind of disgusted by the whole community tbh. The only reason Tim got away with it is because so many people protected him. The police never investigated him because his family had a good reputation, 2 women who were sexually harassed by him never spoke up, his wife lied for him, his mom was willing to lie for him, his boss' first reaction was to say it was above her paygrade, the HR department at his workplace demanded a warrant... And most of these people knew Tim was a misogynistic creep, it's gross that they protected him for 30 years.

[@ancientdemeter5934]

Exactly my thoughts the community failed her

[@shifa444]

well to be fair it’s not like cops or ppl for that matter take misogyny seriously. also let’s not blame the victims here

Dont blame and suggest his other victims “protected him” society creates the culture of victims being scared to come forward or feeling like it was pointless

[@brindlebucker4741]

It wouldn't be unusual for such a small town to have only one high school. I was born and raised in Spalding County, Georgia, and at the time I went to high school, the population was about 42,000 -ish. We only had one high school for all the county. It was in the biggest classification at that time: AAAA, and thus we were able to compete for the top football state championship because of our size. I went to school with loads of kids I don't even and probably never heard their names spoken. But the point is, if you spoke to anyone my age or older from that area, they would ALL say they had been to the same high school. These days, they have a city high school and a county one, so 2 high schools, but forever before that it was just one.

[@JustKelso1993]

Same for my town, one school, Preschool to Highschool in one building.

Maybe it's just weird to Aussies? I'm from a small town in NSW, Australia. Population of about 11 000 and we have 2 high schools, 3 primary schools and a heap of different daycare/preschools. Plus there's seperate schools for other religions like Plymouth Brethren.

Baker isn’t just acme there’s multiple towns/cities in the district, but it’s a very tight knit community, everyone pretty much knows everyone. This case hit so hard in the whole county not just Baker. I remember my family talking about it when it was finally solved (my first time hearing about it) I’m so glad this case is finally getting the attention it deserves, I would recommend watching the 2020 episode if you haven’t it goes into better detail and has interviews with a lot of important people in the case/her life

[@kaitlynhadeen8596]

I think it’s really important to hear her loved ones talk about her on the 2020 episode and hear how much they still love her. Everyone in the community loved her, even us kids who hear about it today bc our parents knew her/of her and it broke their hearts. The band teacher kept a photo of her up in his class (although he recently retired) I’d look at it every time I was in that room

well at least the third lady at the water park had the guts to go to police ad didn't just sit around with the knowledge of knowing who killed someone and just kept it to herself all that time. wow. They could have spoken up long before they did, that's just sad. I'm so glad someone finally went to the police.

[@pixieyla]

They didn't KNOW anything, they had a feeling due to his creepiness. The police will barely take a case of assault where things go further than those two incidents seriously today, there's no way they would have been concerned 30 years ago...the cops didn't even bother to question her neighbours about seeing her/their relationship with her, speaking up would have done nothing positive.

[@Makeuploveculture]

@@pixieyla are you serious? Because the speaking up 30 years later is what got him arrested. You seriously gonna stand there and say speaking up would have done nothing 30 years ago??? Are you aware how cases work and gathering evidence works and interrogations etc…? Speaking up is how cases get solved. Which is how this one was finally solved because someone was finally willing to go to police- she spoke up. You’re literally arguing not to do something when that something is what got this case solved and should have gotten it solved all those years ago. They themselves are the ones who said “ I know who killed her” so don’t tell me in caps they didn’t know. I’m repeating what they said and it was in fact him so I don’t know what you’re even on about.

[@pixieyla]

@@Makeuploveculture I'm not saying they shouldn't have gone to the police. at all. But you can't seriously tell me that you haven't seen about a hundred cases where victims go to the police and they do nothing. They didn't KNOW anything, they had suspicions, and yeah, I wish they had gone to the police, but there's a huge chance that nothing would have been done, like many assault cases.

[@gitana1384]

@@pixieyla You're speaking about entirely different situations. In Mandy's case police were ASKING & even offering a reward for tips & were following the leads that they got via those tips. If these women had called anonymously & told them to look into Tim, police would have looked into it. They didn't before because there seemed to be no connection between Mandy & Tim. If the women had pointed at him, the police would have noticed that Tim's home was on her jogging route & that he could be a suspect.

So often I see/hear and read of epically horrific police work, uncompassionate 911 operators, terrible failures from prosecutors and judges with no balls to punish, and giving leniency to violent criminals and repeat offenders, so good on all of them, only wish it was like this for all cases.

Imagine taking your garbage home everyday for years just to somehow forget one time and get caught. 😭

Hey Bella! Have you ever considered making a video about the Alison Botha case? I have only read a little about it as it’s a new case to me but I would be interested to see your take on it!

[@iz1732]

[@yesenialedesma7697]

@@iz1732 from what I’ve seen I definitely believe it! I will look into it. Thanks!

This guy was so sketchy, what a scumbag! Glad she and her family finally got justice. Cheers Bella - hope Mia is ok without you? Bet you both are missing each other like crazy - you have such a lovely relationship.

I'm so happy Mandy's mother could watch this man go to jail for what he did, I'm wondering what happened to her father? I'm not sure if I missed something but was he still alive when the case was solved? I feel so bad for him, loosing three children must be unbearable and I really hope he could have seen Mandy's murderer brought to justice. I genuinely love your videos Bella, they're the only true crime videos I can watch as you handle them with so much respect for the victim and everyone involved, and you explain things so clearly

She says at the beginning of the video Mandy’s father was killed in Alaska prior to Mandy’s murder.
