Such a sad situation. You've always shown respect, and empathy with these sensitive things. Thanks Scott for taking me along . We'll done .😊😊😊😊😊

[@shannon3n8]

Letting tape roll while Brian laid out his memories of this heartbreaking tragedy, still obviously hard-wired into his brain almost 25 years later, is commendable - thank you for not interrupting where other creators would have tried to recapture the spotlight. You show such empathy and care, two things your parents instilled in you that you in turn share with us. Rest in love, Maddie.

Amazing how her family showed his mom grace. Don’t feel like I would ever be able to do that.

I would consider the mama a victim as well, just not her sons victim.

You are one of my favorite KZbinrs Scott. You can go from being a total goofball on filming locations and making me crack up. Then do a complete 180 and do videos like this where you're so respectful and kind, you're awesome. Thank you for telling Maddie's story. RIP Maddie. cheers

Hey Scott I adore your videos I know you're probably got a ton of request but I was wondering if you had a chance to make a video about Amber hagerman

[@dawnjackson2190]

I remember driving to her neighborhood to try and help search for little Maddie. I live in lake city fl so it was only a 45 minute drive. When she was finally located it crushed us all!! Ohh, sir, you are so right. Her life touched so many of us. This clip just brought it all back. May she continue to RIP. Thank you for coming and doing her story. May she never be forgotten.

Just tragic. Rest in piece Maddie and deepest sympathies to her family. Appreciate Brian for adding a local perspective & sharing his knowledge of case.

[@chasingjustice956]

I lived in Jax, FL when this happened. I was a young mom of 2 girls and I remember hugging them so tight that day. I watched the whole story play out in the news. So heartbreaking. Fly high Maddie 😇💜

[@marywalsh2104]

Not only is this a very sad and tragic story, but a story of incredible parents with the most beautiful hearts. Being a mother myself, this one really touched my heart. Thank you for covering this story with such empathy and grace. To Sarah (not sure I spelled her name correctly) may your husband rest in peace and I hope each day brings you strength and peace.

[@shannoninlouisiana]

I remember this, so tragic and sad. Way too young. Just heartbreaking.

I totally remember this case. It was truly heartbreaking when she was found and everything came out. Another great video Scott and your guest did a great job too. I absolutely loved his accent. Her parents helping the boys mom really touched me. They are beautiful people to forgive the mom, or not to blame her I guess is what I mean. RIP Maddy🕊🕊🕊🕯🕯🕯

[@bonniec1765]

Thank you for remembering Maddie and keeping her sweet memory alive. 😢

[@SusanRodgers-fw3nf]

We lived a few blocks from the Cliftons when this happened. She was buried in the cemetery behind our house. Our girls were Maddie's age. It was something that made us never letting our girls out of sight. My heart still breaks for Maddie and her family. 💔

[@brey1720]

It's so eerie, the street is so quiet, while you guys reminisce about something so horrific that happened so long ago. It's nice hearing that Maddie's parents & the mother of Josh became close. Usually a tragedy divides families. But they acknowledged one anothers pain. Takes a lot of strength to do that, & to come together to in a way help heal one another to a degree. But I can't imagine reliving that like he is telling that story, at the very locations it took place & also where the media hung out in search of answers. Just so crazy how such tragic things happen, but the world just keeps going, & moving & how things can change even at the locations of such tragedy

[@valgrant3303]

Well said Brian. Maddie has touched more than just that community. God bless her and God bless both of you for this humbling story. May that monster never get out of prison.

[@hotmama298]

Maddie reminds me of a young Nadia Comaneci. That was heartbreaking. It's a shame that her life was cut tragically short. I know the boy that killed her was abused himself but that doesn't excuse what he did. My prayers are with Maddie's family and friends.

[@LeeTheVet]

I had no idea, Scott. Thank you for this nicely done video! RIP Maddie! I think you should consider doing one on Dorothy Stratten, PMOY 1980. The actual house still exists where she was killed by her estranged husband Paul Snider, who then took his own life.

[@joannasanders146]

[ Nannie Ruth ] Scott you always say ''have empathy, compassion, & don't judge''. Its so heart breaking that this was 2 children R.I.P. Maddie & [ how can you judge that boy with the circumstances he was in] '' ok i'm going to say bless his heart because he was frightened , this makes me want to shed tears for both of them, it makes me think about a little girl around here [ Shannon Paulk] that was abducted from her home & she lived in a trailor park in ''Prattville, Al..''If i remember I think she was about 12 maybe [ 9] its been so long ago , maybe [ 20] yrs & they never found out who murdered her. It was in the news for awhile, I hate hearing things when it comes to children [ that why i was so protected of my own kids] it breaks my heart & i just want to cry for them.

[@landonjones676]

Brother I may not have the same beliefs and viewpoints you do but I can really appreciate what you do for all of these folks that suffered such severe tragedies.

[@melsop54]

God bless you Sarah and kiddos! May God be with you in this difficult time!

[@flocosta]

I do believe the way your raised can affect your personality and actions in life. I was very close to someone whose mother abused him and in turn he became an abuser that lasted a lifetime. It was awful. That doesn't mean he should ever get out because most are also taught right from wrong, and a lot of the way people act is pure conscience that steers us to always do the right thing. I also believe you can be born with a personality disorder that could later turn you in to a killer. It's a sad situation for both of these kids. RIP Maddie. Thank you to your friend Brian was so willing to share his knowledge of this crime with us. It really brought this story to life.

[@deirdrerosesharples7453]

Nurture verses Nature right

[@peggym6268]

I am close to and know so many people that were abused. One of the women I love very much was abused in ways you read about and think, " that could never really happen". IT did. This woman is a lovely person, works everyday, supports her partner and her partners son. She is too good at times and I tell her to be careful as some may take advantage of her. I have known her now for over 20 years and she is like a sister to me, and she feels the same. She has never, ever hurt anyone. She isn't as good to herself as she should be, but never hurt anyone , even verbally.

[@AnnieAwesome-th7qm]

It's weird though, having suffered from terrible abuse and neglect in my childhood, I remember my first bloody nose and split lip was from my mom punching me in the face when I was five for asking her about my father, who I never was allowed to know. I could literally write a novel on everything that I was put through. And you know, I absolutely do not believe in hitting children, ever, for any reason. Not just children, either. Because of everything that I went through, because I know how it feels, the last thing that I ever want to do is hurt anybody and make another person feel the way that I was made to feel
