Annette's voice is gorgeous! Wow! Hearing her mother reading her letter at the end, really just tore me up inside. The strength she had to pursue justice & find Felix.

Make sure there is a mentor they can relate to, somebody that gives sound advice. I did this with all my kids as I was that rebellious teen with nobody to guide me. Shouting never works neither does threats. Parenting does and the saying it takes a village to raise a child is true.

Depends on the mother. There are a lot of horrible mothers in the world whose abuse is just as strong as this mother’s love. We’re all individuals. Some fathers and mothers would do anything to protect their child, as they should. Some give their everything to love their offspring and help them become all that they can be. But other fathers and mothers are terrible parents, undeserving of the children they bore. They destroy them, break, damage, and abuse them. Some even kill them. Not all parents are the same. You shouldn’t make sweeping statements like the one that you made because they simply aren’t true. This mother is only proof that you can’t cover up, stop, or smother some mothers’ love. But other mothers don’t love their children at all. Just as some fathers love their children with every breath of their being, and some don’t. Being a mother doesn’t automatically make you an amazing parent, and people believing statements like yours are one of the reasons why children are often taken away from really good fathers and put with horrible mothers during custody battles. Mothers are favoured in these battles, and it’s partially because people believe that all mothers have an innate, nurturing, protective instinct, when that simply isn’t true.

@TheLogicLives Tbh the work things fine. It's the fact she was clueless to her underage daughter being pursued by a man older than she was. She completely ignored her daughter and didn't inquire about her or left her with someone completely irresponsible when she was away for work (probably both). Then she said she didn't know if he was a bad guy when her 16 year old daughter wanted to marry him... a 40 year old. That's not even mentioning her willingly walking out on her daughter AGAIN after she got her home and safe finally. If she put even a hundredth of the effort into protecting her as she did trying to find her, she'd still be alive. It's sad, honestly.

In the 70s I heard about and saw A LOT of shit go down that definitely wouldn't be tolerated today! No sir we know it was worse up until today and it is easier to catch and prosecute today.

Mary Rose is such a tenacious, fierce mother. I feel so bad about the lingering guilt she carries. It’s good that that monster is behind bars. It’s so incredibly frustrating that due to a single person’s misjudgment (the coroner) that he was able to walk free and hurt other women. I wonder if Felix threatened or bribed him.

Annette was blessed to have a mother who loved her that much. ❤😂 It's always someone who loved the murder victim that makes the difference of weather or not the cold case is solved ❤

Wow, this mom was brave. I'm so sorry to hear about the hell that she went through.

That 90 year olds purpose was his part in this trial. As soon as he said 'greeted at the door by a 90 year old man in a wheel chair' I said to my partner he will pass very soon now he's given his whole truth and played his part and he did after 3 months. Survived 90 yrs on this planet and once his truth was told, the burden lifted and he passed away 3 months later. Perfect example of how we all have our roles to play.

All these "strength of a mother" comments...I'm sorry, what? I suppose I maybe understand why she left to find work but she couldn't have waited until her daughter graduated? Then she gives her permission for her 17 year old to marry and older man, then when they tell her to leave HER house she packs up and says ok? Sounds like this woman did everything her teenage daughter told her to. Why was the child in charge? Fight for her before she is murdered not after, ffs!

In my opinion: besides catching a killer. The utmost importance is Finding answers. Learning locations. For loved one's. That's worth more than any justice system punishment could ever offer. I'm so blown away by the quality of this channel. There really is no other channel like this one. It's like the content you create is Unseen, but then it gets brought into the light like no one has ever seen it before. Amazing work.
