- On October 1, 1993, a stranger abducted 12-year-old Polly Klaas during a slumber party in her home. FBI agents collected fibers from her bedroom and discovered, through the use of laser light sources, a palm print on Polly’s bed. After a massive two-months investigation, the FBI arrested Richard Allen Davis. Would the palm prints and fibers match?

Wow, people calling her house pretending to be her or the kidnapper? That was weird, hope those people were charged.
@Ryan Smith If they were adults, they could be charged with filing a false report, making false statements to authorities, etc., depending on the jurisdiction. Unfortunately it sounds like it was a child "prank" calling. Still, it was unspeakably cruel. The vast majority of children understand right from wrong and such antisocial behavior by a child tends to be predictive of sociopathy. I'd be interested in knowing how that child's life has turned out now, and whether she's had other run-ins with the law as an adult.
What this brat did by calling the parent of Polly was beyond cruel
'sorry' is not good enough!
This brat deserves at least a full year in juvinile detention!
Hell I got 3 years for running away from home! The least this bitch should have been given something! But her family has $$$ ,they are white and I bet you a dollar he parents didn't even give her a slap!
This is what's wrong wh society! Too many free passes for rich white kids!
@@scarlet8078 also wasting police time
Ryan Smith wow dude
Why are you so pissed about his facts?
People can be and do get charged for this sort of thing.
Dude you may be right wing and not a snow flake but you seem to be not a very nice person
Perhaps your a child, an angry child or perhaps your an adult, an angry adult
@@scarlet8078 doctors said the same thing about me in my youth because I refused to live with my paedophile enabler mother
They threw me in jail at 12, then wondered why I refused to talk to them or their head shrinkers
I turned out to be a Sunday school teacher of over 20 years, raised two healthy children, fostered four more and I now run a charity for runaway youth called S.O.S... who knows how she turned out, this may have impacted her life to turn in either direction
About a year ago some friends and I were driving around in the middle of the night and saw a man hiding in some bushes at a pretty nice house and my friends said it was probably his house and I said “why would he be hiding in the damn bushes then!?” And I called the police. Who knows what could’ve happened.
we need more people like you in the world. thank you for getting involved!
Yesss more people like you are needed and appreciated:)
Well done. You could have saved someones life
Good! You did good!
Good job! I always say you see something you say something! All these people who saw this prior to what happened period. It's horrible... Because they could have prevented it. This individual probably did this before and probably did it afterwards so imagine how many more torn apart families could have been prevented this terrible outcome
Holy crap I would’ve lost it if my child called in like a joke for a missing child
Right! That would break my heart and have me furious!
Shed never be allowed out of her room ever again
The same way that
I paused the video right at this point just to come looking for a comment like this. Holy shit, I'd be SOOO disappointed and angry.
Ohh noooo, stupid girl.
But honestly - how can you really react after your daughter did something?
I mean, a Kids Brain functions Not Like an adults one, but they should be able to understand, that doing something like this will cause a lot of harm. Especially emotional harm for the parents.
How old was this Girl?
So many people saw this guy lurking around in the dark and NO ONE CALLED THE POLICE!? WHY!?
right ? The babysitter and the woman who lived at the end of the private road, how this was not enough for concern when you later learn about the little girl abduction?
Welcome to Earth, 7 billion people don't give a shit about anything... A very Narcissistic world nowadays, there used to be kind caring people, those days are gone now.
And no one questioned why he was just hanging around, or if needed help finding an address
Because they are Californian libtards
Today's definition of a "Karen". They get called names & blasted online for questioning ppl they don't know on or around their property.
He had 2 arrest and convictions of kidnapping and another of armed robbery. He should've never been free again after those convictions. Polly would've still been alive today if it wasn't for the failures of the justice system!
Our judicial system is a joke. This man was out free while someone serves 25 years for marijuana.
Judicial system is a joke partly because of the people voting in liberal leadership who care more about the criminals rights than protecting victims and potential victims I don’t understand why
that what I said
Sounded like a botched investigation to me too. The cops didn't hear the information because their radios were on a different frequency. But why did they not find out when they got back to the station? they should have known they let a murderer go. The story that they escorted him off the property was likely just to cover their ass. They pulled him out and they headed back to the station while poly class and the murderer lay in the dingley weeds. Why did it take two months to recover this scene? They should have been out there the next morning going over it with a fine tooth comb. Cops are always covering their asses.

I know they were kids that played that prank, but they still should be held accountable for that. That is just sick, sick behaviour.
Definitely. It was an opportunity to teach them about consequences since they clearly weren't thinking before they acted.
It’s not like they can arrest the kid. I have a feeling that the FBI barging into their house with guns pointed at them spooked them enough to not ever do that crap ever again. Probably got an ass whooping too
Depending on the age of the child, If they were 13 or older, I agree that they should have been arrested. What they did was cruel and disgusting
@@MoonMoonTM Arrested isn't quite what I had in mind though, I was thinking they should have fined the family considering the amount of resources that were wasted on the prank rather than spent on actually finding the missing girl. Plus maybe some light community service for the kid to give back to the community they hurt.
@@MoonMoonTM are you kidding? The kid could and should have been charged with obstructing a police investigation and sent to a juvenile facility to think over what she did.
The real crime here is that he was released so often after being convicted of violent crimes, including kidnapping! WTF?
Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died on a cross for our sins so we live again! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and God will forgive you! 😌
You are right!
@@oliviagrace6914 God will forgive but should mankind forgive so easily?
WTF indeed. I feel the same.
@@oliviagrace6914 God made this happen... he'd better forgive everything, but I'm not forgiving him!
The neighbors saw a strange man in the yard, knowing the couple had separated and there was no man in that house you'd think they'd do the math and call the cops. Wtf
Could be an aunt, a boyfriend, a cousin, a friend of the family...
@@thifanny7298 That is probably what the neighbours thought and now she is dead, now you know its better to not assume and just call just in case, plus its an anonymous call so they wont know it was you.
A 2 min call would've saved a lot of grief & that beautiful little girl's life.
Instead, playing video games were more important
I'm only 8 minutes in, but hope and pray that the family get the answers they are longing for...
Or they could have just said something to the dude like "hey what are you doing?" and then he'd most likely tell a lie then leave out of fear
There’s an infamous case of a woman being assaulted in the street. The attack went on for at least half-an-hour. Many people heard her scream but “ assumed” that someone else would have reported it. She was murdered. Don’t be like them. Call the police
That happens more often than you think. People will turn a blind eye to just about anything, even a person being murdered in front of them.
But I'm with you, you hear or see something insane happening, at least make the call.
It is called the Bystander Effect.
Nowadays it’s even worse… People stand around recording things instead of intervening!
that one's a myth. People tried to help, including calling police.. could they have done more? Maybe. But there was action taken..
@@EB-gt1pq Riiight? I was absolutely mortified hearing story of woman being r*ped on train last October and nobody did anything about it.. but hey, got time to record..
The Klaas network has helped my family with searches and resources like cadaver dogs in the search for my cousin. She went missing in 1985. They also put us in contact with other families with missing members. Linda is still not found, but just knowing people still care and want to help gives us some peace.
Elvisneedsboats Bennett 😔 muchRespect do not lose faith. Keep on praying 🤲🏾💚🖤💪🏾
It’s a heartbreaking story. Too bad It’s keep happening on daily basis.
i AM SO sorry she hasn't been found, no family deserves this...absolutely soul destroying...
Elvisneedsboats Bennett am sorry your cousin hasn’t been found, my thoughts go to to you yours. I hope and pray that your cousin is found, so you and yours can get some closure
❤😪🙏prayers for the family stay strong and prayed up
When asked about forgiveness, Polly Klass’s dad said forgiveness was overrated in regards to his daughter’s murderer.
As a man, I think you get to deal with the murder of a child in any manner you see fit. Often I think something like that manifests in self-destruction but when dealing with lose of that magnitude who can blame anyone
@Donnell Okafor I sure don’t.
@@alexhatfield4448 I think any parent or anyone that has lost a loved one feels like him.
There is no forgiveness for that animal
@@GorillaCookies I agree. I hope people understood that I quoted that because I support him. I like to use the quote “it’s better to put a millstone around your neck than to hurt a child and drown yourself in the lake. “ Cannot believe I left the drowning part out. “ Jesus Christ. “Suffer ye not the little children.” And I include any vulnerable person like the elderly, the sick, disabled retarded etc. or helpless animal. I use this quote, “what you have done to the least of my people you have done to me. “ I like the part when the hypocrites were told by Jesus I do not know you and they freaked out, saying lord lord, as he drove home they showed no mercy to the most vulnerable so in turn he would be without mercy to them. Their is another quote which supports the way the animals are created and protected too. Even if you don’t believe in Jesus those are good quotes. If we have these type of people that showed no mercy to their victims then we will show no mercy to them when they get their punishments for doing what they did.
Kidnapping and harming a child should never have a time limit on punishment. Once committed and caught these individuals should be locked up permanently.
Absolutely agree
Hang the bastards problem solved
I don’t understand why the USA still has the “statute of limitations”!!?! There should be no time limit for prosecuting monsters!!
Agreed.
I just don’t understand why people get sooo many chances!!! The only thing that really puts offenders away is murder and sometimes they even get off too easily on that. Rape and molestation are lifelong mental health sentences for the victims. This country needs to change!! If the prisons are over crowded then let’s start hanging some of these monsters!
These stories make my blood boil.. WHY was he ever let out of prison 😡
Let out of prison with priors for kidnapping, twice! Oh he hasn't killed anyone yet, let him go until he does! WTF!
@@eyesopen2995 this is what leads me to question the thought process and intentions of the powers that be that allow this. They are evil themselves, because no sane, decent person would allow this..!
The justice system is a joke they take action when someone ends up getting killed that's when they move its sad
@@eyesopen2995 bad isn’t it, as though it’s set that way. Criminals everywhere that should be locked up are roaming streets looking for victims, seems stacked from start to me.
to make room for more non violent drug addicts
Thank God the babysitter didn't get out of her car. If she hadnt called he would of never been caught. And if the land owner had thought that stuff was just random trash. Great investigator work to put all pieces together. This case simply was meant to be solved. Rip sweet Polly.
Made me think of the random stuff that I sometimes come across when hiking. Damn I hope none of that ever indicated a murder scene or something.
There's no thank god in this story .
Jesus imagine how guilty you would feel if you seen that guy and didnt contact the police ...only if one of them had of reported a strange man hanging around the house...
Trust if the man was very tanned to dark....IT WOULD HAVE BEEN!It would have been reported if to stop a break in😩
@Luna EB no u call the police where there is a stranger hanging around a house that has never been seen before .. normal people don't hide and hang around houses
@@bringthepayne7561 It was dark outside and the man was in the shadows. When we first saw mug shots of him, I thought he could be Mexican.
People need to speak up regardless of race or gender a stranger or not, if someone looks out of place report it
@Donnell Okafor I must respectfully disagree. Mostly minding one's own business is the way to go, but there are instances where someone's instinct kicks into high gear and they feel very strongly that a child is in danger or something is seriously wrong. People have saved lives from listening to that overwhelming feeling.
What sicko prank calls someone daughter that was kidnapped
its way too common
For money
Millenials?
@@quickchris10comcast Just assholes.
She was raped and tortured too
That little girl that called polly's dad pretending to be her that was so cruel.
If you see something, say something!

Ugh, imagine being the parents of the brat who called Polly's dad as a joke. How cruel!
I’m sure she got a soanking
All these crimes he was committed of or arrested for and they kept letting him go free? Wtf that’s the real problem here!!!
You can't just keep people after you arrest them. You have to convict them.
The laws have changed since then obviously. It even said that the 3 strikes and you’re out rule was a direct result from this case. Now a days his charges prior to this would land him a life sentence.
The mother gave her up & set her up for trafficking and took the money. She just happened to take sleeping pills when she should have been on alert just in case one of the girls needed her. However, the mother didn’t do that, didn’t hear the f’n screams? Same thing happened to Johnny bk in 82 when his father gv his own son up to those sick F’ks.
her death led to the 3 strikes law being signed in california and other states
@@ninanano That’s all good now, but too little too late for Polly & every other missing child.
The way I would yeet my child out of the window if they ever do fake calls like that
Now, those fake calls were a foul move.Hurting Polly 's family and getting innocent people in trouble.That was a STOOPID thing to do.I fail to see what HECK they thought was so amusing about it .That really TICKED me off!
Roundhouse kick her right out the door ! That was super sick and just really pathetic of her. I really hope her parents disciplined her.
Why allow him to enter and leave jail for kidnapping not once.. not twice but 4xs?????
I truly believe the justice system failed once again.
Something is happening rn in my county where a man was let out on bail after not less than 70 charges... The girl is still being searched for. Scary!
Live in the UK then your really know what a joke our so called justice system is.
Update. The girl was found... Dead. 😖🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Agreed yes again sadly looks like the judge was at fault. My dad told me when he was alive still that the problem is the judges not law enforcement. He said it's important to vote for an elect good judges. People most don't even vote at all on them. They only vote when it comes time to vote for a President and then only a few people even vote. Smh. Pay attention and read up on these Judges people and then vote for them. Maybe less would even be murdered if they knew , the suspects that the Judges are really tough.
@@klassykassie4158 Oh RIP may God keep her always . Amen.
How do you get arrested that many times for the same crime and still get to go free again and again 🤦🏽♂️
Living white in the US
@@shirley1091 yeah, because there are no white multiple offenders in jail. Shut the fuck up with that bullshit. It is because bleeding hearts stress about how people need freedom instead of incarceration for multiple instances of yhe same crime, playing on the "mental illness" or "they're poor and don't know better" bull. Get outta here with your race baiting fuckery.
@@ArgentLeftovers you read so much more into this. I feel if they were ppl of color I believe they would have ended up in jail quicker. This just expressing my thoughts. My words were not To offend you or anyone .
If you see a stranger lurking around suspiciously call police....it could save someone's life.
FACTS
I can't get my head around the fact that so many people saw a strange man lurking in the shawdows by Polly's house....and did nothing. A few years ago I called the police because a strange looking woman was trying to get into the backyard of my neighbor's house. She couldn't work the latch of their gate. Long story short, neighbors were on vacation and had asked a friend from their church to water their plants, collect their mail, etc. I didn't know and felt silly for calling the police. The officers assured me that I had done the right thing in calling them. Even the woman herself reassured me! As the police told me...don't hesitate to call them; that's what they're there for.
🖤🖤 RIP Polly Klaas🖤🖤
Eh you gotta wonder about the stress the police are under when they go out and wondering if they get shot
Karen!
@@minnie7279 that's not what a karen is but go off
This happened a long time ago & ppl didn’t pay attention like they do now. But this case changed everything - made people notice. Sad that this is what it took
Plus, if it was me, I'd have let my neighbors know there was a girl coming to feed the pets or whatever & asked them to keep an eye out while I was gone. Communication is important.
I probably wouldn't tell everyone I was leaving town but a couple neighbors I trust, yes especially adjoining property.
Imagine if Polly really WAS alive in the woods while the police were there after he'd gotten his car stuck... imagine if she were close enough to the road to see the police but her mouth was taped shut & her arms / legs were bound so she couldn't yell out or run over... just imagine that. They were so close.
😢😭
This breaks my heart, for Polly, for her family, and her friends. I can’t begin to imagine what this beautiful little girl went through, or how heartbreaking it has been for her family.
Hang on a second.... so the same night she went missing, these officers check this guy out on this women’s property for trespassing...and then a sketch artist does a picture and these officers don’t put two and two together!!! 🤔
Yes, and when the police helped to get his car free if they just had looked in the car they may have seen something.
That’s why they say if you want to find a killer call a PI, if you want to find a donut shop call a cop.
And then you have a lot of the Black Lives Matter people yelling about the fact that cops are too suspicious for no reason. THIS IS WHY! If you aren’t do anything wrong you shouldn’t care.
@@jeezuschrist9887 WTH does this have to do with BLM? This white man kidnaps a child and the first thing you scream is BLM.
Philando Castille wasn't doing anything wrong and even reached to show his documents for LEGALLY having a handgun- Dead
Corey Jones was waiting for road side assistance for his LEGAL car, which had broken down. -Dead
Linden Cameron (13)- autistic child shot by police, due to him having a mental break and mom calling for medical intervention.
These and many more instances are what BLM is about, so stop trying to invalidate it.
@@cocktailgame6237 I think they looked into his caf but found nothing
That little girl who posed and called boiled my blood. When I was that age I knew better. She knew better. What an evil thing to do.
As well as that kid who posed for money. What the absolute heck is wrong with people.
I can’t imagine the horror of thinking you have your child safe and sound in your home only to have her kidnapped and murdered while you sleep.
I just don't understand why why why they give people like this chance after chance..every 2 years he was being arrested for the same shit!!! COME ON, THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN!!!
Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died on a cross for our sins so we live again! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and God will forgive you! 😌
Amen!!!!🙌🏽
I would beat the living h3ll out of my kid if they prank called the family of a missing kid pretending to be the girl.
I hope she got charged with obstruction of justice or fraud or something, and had to at least do community service.
That was disgusting and I hope they feel ashamed for the rest of their nasty lives.
Well that was a sociopath in development.
I’m not trying to sound rude but if I were a mother and had 3 young girls/children having a slumber party at my house I’d never take sleeping pills. What if one of the kids injured themselves or anything else they’d need assistance with? She was supposed to be the person responsible for the children. She could’ve heard the intruder and would’ve been able to prevent this from happening.
She should have postponed the sleepover due to migraine.
What are often used as "sleeping pills" often have psychiatric uses. So if you were bipolar, for instance, you couldn't just not take the pills for the night. That could actually kill you. However, I agree that a slumber party was unwise.
Honestly, in the early 90’s and prior, just the fact that she was there was sufficient.
I don't think any of yall realize how migraines or the medications work. They can come at any given time.
The poor woman had a migraine. Do you have any idea of what it's like to have a headache that is so severe and crippling you can't do anything.? But then she could have postponed the sleepover ..that's if the migraine didn't come on when the girls were already there .....
He should never been out on the street period!!! He was a sick predator.
The girl who posed as Polly on the phone had some dumb friends
Kids do dumb things all the time. Surprise!
Adults do even dumber things. It's human nature.
I say cruel rather than dumb, little bitches
My aunt was murdered in a school yard a block from her house in Staten Island. You could see her house. There was a main road and people who saw this man prior to following her home, being aggressive with her. Local people. Please speak up . Teach your kids to do the same. I tell my kids their intentions are to kill you anyway, so scream and speak up! This could have been prevented in many ways. Lock everything, be aware, if your alone with children especially woman, be aware !!! If you have to live alone, get a security system . A loud security system that alerts your windows and doors. Comcast Xfinity offers it with your deal!!Call police of you don’t recognize person wandering the neighborhood! Not everyone is your friend, not even neighbors.God rest her beautiful soul. My aunts murder killed my family. Her children, one just 9 at the time, he’s forever in pain over this. They all are.

He had 3 previous convictions for kidnapping along with other horrible crimes. Why do the majority of these cases always have previous histories and then they are let out? The man is obviously beyond sick. So is the justice system. It always takes a death before a change is made, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
Same thing I was thinking totally ridiculous
ÌP
100 percent agree
It doesn’t help that we focus on punishment rather than rehabilitation. It’s why we have such a high reoffender rate compared to places like Norway. They actually try to fix the problem. You admit dude was sick, so why the hell is the solution just throwing him in a cell for 20 years? Or letting the government murder its citizens?
@@IAmAnEvilTaco I understand what you're saying and you have a good point but not everyone wants or can be rehabilitated some actually learn and grow from what they've done some don't care they'll actually trick you into thinking they're changed when in fact they just wanna get out

In India we have special surveillance everywhere. They are called aunties, grannies and so on. Basically they will sit at window and look outside. Try to investigate everyone😂. They do it for gossip material 👃 or just out of curiosity, it's annoying but good as this way they keep a check on neighborhood. This made me think a lot. Love you aunties and grannies ❤️🤗
Yes!! And that's what's wrong with us now. Where are they? I need when there was a new van in town because of them ladies.🥰 Gossip or not.
Sounds good

it may be nothing but it could be something
Your not being a nosy neighbour.
You’ll be doing what’s right and maybe saving someone’s life
Yeah. I called the cops because of my neighbors. I'm 100% positive she was being beaten up. First time they never showed and it was in the middle of the street. Second time in their house but you could hear it and the cop came by and asked us what the hell we had to do with how people enjoy living. Seriously. I was a domestic violence victim and I don't know how many times I wished and prayed someone would help me. I don't know how I didn't jump on that cop's throat.
@@bulletsfordinner8307 it happens often
The police in Trenton Ontario refused to take me and my children to the woman's shelter, told me I could go but I couldn't take my kids...then the officer ( constable Collins) went to where his son and my husband had a business and told him I was trying to escape! I was hospitalized, my kids went into hiding and the policeman is a detective today...some justice
My husband shot at me once on my bike as I tried to escape with our son, it took them 48 hrs to attend, enough time for my ex to bury me...there isn't any justice for women and children...
I'm not saying it's okay or that I would stand by and watch someone be assaulted or kidnapped, because I certainly wouldn't since I've been in a violent relationship before.
But has anyone here heard of the Kitty Genovese murder? That's where they coined the term Bystander Syndrome. About 15(some reports say 40 or more but that's been proven false) people, her neighbors, saw and heard her being stabbed on the street. Only one man shouted out for the man to leave her alone, no one came out to help her and she made her way to her apartment building, the killer had ran away then a few minutes later came back and attacked her again, stabbing her in her apartments corridor just feet from a neighbors door who looked out and saw the murderer standing over her body but he was too afraid to do anything and was drunk at the time.
Every single person who said they heard her screams and did nothing stated they didn't do anything because they believed someone else must have already called the police or gone to help because they didn't hear her screams anymore.
One woman, ONE, a friend of hers finally went outside to investigate and found her bleeding out in the corridor and called for people to call the police and Kitty passed away in her arms.
Again, not saying it's "okay" but it's a common occurance if you haven't seen or experienced enough violence or bad behavior in your life to know to speak up regardless of your fears. It's just a symptom of human behavior that's been around for a long time.
We know more now in 2019 how evil people can be and how to protect those who are more vulnerable, but it still happens just not as often.
Long ass rant but the final thought is, people are overwhelmingly idiotic. Doesn't make it alright. But it's also not surprising to me at all that this happened with so many witnesses. Truly this will just keep happening until we're all so paranoid about each other that no one trusts anyone anymore.
u r not alone. im sorry and u r brave. way to speak.
I agree with you Kathryn
One reason why I have my big German shepherd, he'll greet you as your first leg enters the window.
This man really said “people cared”🤦🏾♂️ apparently not enough seeing as though the girl’s neighbors saw the man that night and they knew something was wrong but didn’t call the police 😑 so where’s the true justice and compassion?
Who drugs themself before they go to bed especially when u are watching other ppls kids..
Are u serious? Sleeping pills are drugs.
Between booze, sleeping pills and whatever else...a lot of parents are completely "out of it" at bedtime 😅
That was incredibly stupid and irresponsible on the mother's part. If she was having such a bad migraine, she should have postponed the sleep over for another night...
@Jordan Blythe slumber party should have been cancelled. Migraines are miserable, but if you have kids over you are responsible for them and can’t drug yourself into la-la land.
@Jordan Blythe I do and would not have had the sleepover because I know I would be taking something strong to sleep
The FIRST time a human in society takes someone’s child they should be cancelled, they should never to be let out of jail. That’s rule one amongst us all.
Imagine the strength it takes to not just walk up and shoot these people and not be a doing a favor to us all.
Polly was failed by our justice system, and her loser neighbors. How can folks be so stupid?
The last 3 minutes of the video helped me....🙏🏻🥺
What I don’t understand about this is: He took Polly into dark woods and left her there while he tried to get vehicle unstuck. Then police came and got him unstuck and guided him away from the area where the stuck vehicle was. Then the kidnapper drove around for another 15-30 min before returning to Polly. So did he tie Polly up to a tree? I know kids get scared in the dark woods at night but if she wasn’t tied up to a tree then why didn’t she start running the opposite direction of the vehicle? Was she blind folded so she couldn’t see?
My family thinks I’m crazy for liking True Crime stories BUT shows like this has taught me a lot about abductions and I then teach my kids. Be aware of everything: Smells,sounds,count the number of turns in vehicle if blind folded,counting steps in your head,notice how the ground feels under your feet,tattoos,scars,facial hair,number of windows and if any are open,don’t let the kidnappers know if you managed to get untied and wait until you can escape, scream and yell if you can to alert good strangers,if your sitting upwards in vehicle try to look out window and mouth the words “help” or a crazy look to inform vehicles at stop sign/light next to you that your in danger. Try to leave something a finger print,hair,a piece of clothing,jewelry,a sock,spit or a lil blood drop,something anywhere you can to help lead investigators of whereabouts.Same goes for attacks too. Scratch the hell out of the killer so DNA can be found under nails,biting can now help to collect DNA too. Nowadays DNA can be pulled from anything. Everyone teach your kids as much as you can because crazies are everywhere.
I think he used her stockings to blindfold her, because they found hair on them.
It’s hard to focus when you’re scared shitless
She was probably already deceased or unconscious
This is fantastic detailing
If anyone's wondering, Davis is now 66, still on death row. He's tried overdosing but survived, and argued his confession was inadmissible due to not having a lawyer present, which was denied.
Yes THANK you. I hope prison has been unkind to him
What is a loser put it out of its misery and other people can be out of their misery!
There is no reason for this asshole to still be alive breathing our air. I believe that once you are given the death penalty, you get one year to find new evidence and if nothing comes of it , amf to them. EXECUTE THEM!!!!! They need to be gone , like their victims are. My prayers go out to the family members of the beautiful little girl , Polly that, that animal, non human murdered.
It's been overturned by Newsome to life.
Omg!!!!! You've got to be kidding me. Bring him to me!!!!! I'm not joking. He's non human!!!
That kid who called Pollys father should have been brought up on charges. She was a monster for doing that
Please, if you're nosy enough to notice some odd person lurking on someone's property, call the police immediately. Be a good neighbor.
I like to call it, COMMON SENSE!!
what kind of mother takes sleeping pills when girls are having a sleepover? Migrane or not, your daughter and her friends could've needed something and she's knocked out. imo, that mom dropped the ball. She could've called a family friend to take over sleepover mom duties.🤦
Wtf those ppl calling in those fake calls, her classmates!, that ransome (by James Heard), I hope these people were charged. And, thank you to the police, FBI and anyone who worked on this, especially that lady that called the police.
Exactly! I’ve never gone to sleep before my kids. I’ve also refused sleep aids because i don’t want to be so out of it that I don’t hear a scream. I’d rather suffer through my migraines.
At the very least, the mother should have postponed the sleep over for another night, if her migraine was that bad...
@Jordan Blythe because she was too doped up to protect her kid. Should have postponed the sleepover. Definitely should have closed and locked all doors and windows, JFC.
@Jordan Blythe mom should have cancelled it. No excuses. As the only adult, she was responsible for three girls. Either spend the night in misery without drugs, or cancel and send everyone home.
13 year olds are pretty self sufficient, they don’t need supervising and no one expects this sort of thing. And it might not have ended any differently if she has been awake.
If it can be proven 100% that the monster is guilty, he should be handed over to the family to deal with. I am convinced the number of these types of crimes would drop.
I've always believed that they should be handed over to the families and let them do what they like to them ..hold no mercy as they didnt with their child
Agreed, the cowardly scumbags would think twice.
You couldn't be more wrong. Typical liberal argument you make, that somehow banning something is gonna make it go away...killers and theives don't stop doing what they do under any threat of consequences, you just show you don't understand compulsions or mental illness.
Michael Fried um, what did they suggest be banned?
@@buckeyeman7631 THIEVES, I before E except after C.
Marc Klass as like John Walsh turned their unbelievably horrific deaths of their 2 children to help others so they don’t have to suffer unspeakable tragic outcomes ... Thank you Mr Walsh and Mr Klass .. God Bless you both
Cops didn’t check him for outstanding warrants when he was first caught on the woman’s property? They could at least have arrested him for open bottle/trespassing. Major screw up!
You can't arrest someone for trespassing unless the owner of the property presses charges. They definitely should have checked him out though.
@@wendillon92 open bottle? I’ve been arrested for less myself. Smh
@@jeannineterese1037 Wasn't it only opened after he was already stopped? I might be totally wrong here but it sounded like the beer cans were sealed until the officer asked if he'd been drinking after which he opened one and started drinking it (outside of the car). Since the open can was never actually in the car the charge probably wouldn't stick.
@@wendillon92 that constitutes drinking in public which is a crime.
@Hunters greedy meth pipe that’s crazy!
I can't even imagine the magnitude of the lose of a child, a young child to a kidnapper. My god I bet that poor man's life imploded.
Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died on a cross for our sins so we live again! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and God will forgive you! 😌
With all his offences he shouldn't have been out on parole fullstop.
I lived in Petaluma when this happened and I had a 7 year old daughter! It was beyond scary!
When someone admits to a crime that is attached to the death penalty, why do we have criminals sitting on death row? Makes absolutely no sense
Because states like mine voted against the death penalty so we don’t execute anymore. All death penalty sentences are commuted to life in prison
48:44 What community stepped forward??!!! if any of the people who saw that “man” had reported it, Polly would still be alive. She would be my age.
I read a book on this when I was a kid. It goes into depth, but basically the perpetrator had gotten STOPPED by the police WHILE he had POLLY tied up in the trunk. They had a chance to catch him but 'Amber Alerts' didn't exist back then and they were still unaware....
what and they never checked the boot?
@@rosestanley9606 , it was in a different jurisdiction, they had no idea that Polly was even missing at the time
It's funny how he said the case was solved because people cared..."really" the neighbours saw him wondering around and didn't do anything, a girl called because she thought it's funny to do so then the young man how wanted money🧐
Now at days people are judged for calling 911. It's a shame but you're onto something definitely. If it doesn't look right, doesn't seem right, doesn't feel right...
Typical Californians. I lived in NoCal for 2 decades.
It's funny how he said the case was solved because people cared..."really" the neighbours saw him wondering around and didn't do anything, a girl called because she thought it's funny to do so then the young man how wanted money🧐
@@daniellerocha2808 copy and paste. Why?
The incident when the baby sitter who confronted Richard Allan Davis and called the property owner could have saved Polly. The deputies who were called to the scene failed to determine that Davis was a convicted felon, sex offender, kidnapper, on parole and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
@@minniekay240 iiii
@@minniekay240 🥱
The video says that these cops did not have the technology to do that, could only check stuff like his driving license ect, this is not far of 30 years ago.
AND was drinking and driving
I can't get over how many people saw something a little strange to a full-on altercation with the MURDERER and did little about it.
If you see something that's off, report it and insist on making an official statement, if you don't hear anything follow-up. You might feel uncomfortable but you might also save a life.
I’ve watched a million true crime stories but when he said that the girl was dead it hit different. I was really rooting for her to be alive.
Absolutely tragic. This is why I have rottie. He might get on my nerves barking at a squirrel or a neighbor he has seen 1000 times but he always lets me know if something fishy is going on.
Davis lied and minimized what he did....he had been stalking Polly for some time and knew the family's routine, he just hadn't been expecting a sleepover that night. He denied sexually assaulting Polly - the whole reason he abducted her. He made it all seem an accident, circumstance that got out of control. The fact is if he hadn't been caught on that second property, he was likely casing it so he could abduct that child as well. That mother was quick thinking in getting her child out of the house and driving away after the warning from her nanny from a call box.
Where are you getting this information?
39:06 good explanation of why respectful policing is better for everyone, even in terms of crime solving & putting people away.
the criminal does not remember anything after beer and weed, yet he remembers it all after that many years!!! Wow!!!
I'm surprised they didn't run his name and see what his past was and do a search
I can’t believe no one alerted the police I mean ffs all the neighbours that saw this creep lurkin outside their house shoulda called feds🥺😓
They would've definitely called if he was a black man.
it was just a man walking up to a house. How many times do you have normal guests over? Has anyone ever called the police on your guests? How were these people supposed to know? It wasn't like he was lurking around with a mask and a crowbar
In this area the houses are very compact: it's right near a park, 711 and bus station: so there are a lot of "suspicious" looking people around, the town is also a very keep to themself type , not really people who call the cops on anything "weird"
Sheer blinds and OPEN blinds lets criminals know wtf you're doing in the PRIVACY OF YOUR HOME....
Yes, and I'm sure the mom never forgave herself for taking sleeping pill when she the only parent in a house with kids in it?!
Omg that psychotic little brat that made that fake call ! That’s interfering with a major investigation and she should be charged atleast taught a lesson by paying for that sting !
@dreamland well just keep letting the Toms PEEP 🤷🏾♀️
@dreamland HIDE YA KIDS HIDE YA WIFE
@@kylieisahazard5805 Get a grip. Kids do stupid shit all the time. Adults do even stupider shit.
Put your pitchfork away.
One of my former coworker's had a second job down the road from where we worked in Santa Rosa, CA. She worked overnight at a placement home for girls and one of the girls ran away so she called the police. When he arrived, he said it felt strange being in that area again 'cause he said when the polly klaus case was happening, right there by her job was where they believe he actually killed her and left some of her belongings before dumping her body in a different location. She didn't know about the polly klaus case and was so shook by this information and so she started researching that night. She was so upset from what she read about Richard Allen Davis that she actually wrote to him! And he wrote back! She showed me the actual letter! He said he heard voices telling him to kill and he just wanted to get rid of the voices. He was a creep and I think he wrote one more letter but my coworker was so creeped out, she never wrote again. Every time I hear about this story, I remember that incident.
Voices? Yeah right
when he is in hell I hope the demons do not take a break
Demons are being tortured in hell too. Every one who goes to hell is tormented, that includes the demons.
“There was ice cream In the fridge” wow wow wow
Why was he even allowed to get out of jail 🤦🏾♀️Rip Polly
Man, the 90s were a different time. Open containers, smell of alcohol and CRACKED OPEN A BEER WHILE THEY WERE TALKING TO HIM ABOUT TRESPASSING. Welp nothing incriminating here! 😳
Those people who called her dad asking for ransom and pretending to be her
UNFORGIVABLE!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
And to think almost all of us have crossed paths with a missing person at some point and didn’t know it !
I was 17 when this happened . Broke my heart then , still breaks my heart. Absolutely terrifying
TF is wrong with people making false calls to the family when a child’s life is at stake? How can that be a joke? Not only interfering with the safe return of that child but taking resources away from the case, reducing the chances of detecting the kidnapper, and therefore putting many more lives at risk as he escapes capture and continues to ruin lives.
Saddening and infuriating to hear of this case; the kidnap and murder of anyone, particularly a child, is a vile act. And knowing that regular citizens chose to hinder the investigation rather than to help makes it all the more sickening.
My heart goes out to Polly and her loved ones.
nah bruh marijuana didn’t make people kill someone he’s just a serial kidnapper and a murderer
The actor portraying Richard Allen Davis looks very much like him.
Really
Why keep these bastards alive so long??? Makes no sense from any perspective
Agreed, but they should die the same way their victims did. eye for an eye. Lethal injection and Electric chair are too easy
@@notamusedboosh So I guess according to you, Someone in society should be just like him ? to deem it justice ? Okay then. Thanks for sharing that with us.
@@albertawheat6832 So according to you they must get an easy way out compared to their victims? Do you know how painful , let's say strangulation is? As the pressure builds in your head, like a headache, you can feel the blood vessels in your eyes start to pop, your eyes fill with blood, some victims can see the blood in their vision. As your body slowly struggles for oxygen, it starts taking it away from your muscles in your limbs, these muscles start cramping, then your organs start shutting down, as your body tries to get oxygen from every part it can (a kidney stone is a piece of cake compared to this), organ failure is pretty painful, your lungs burn because they arent getting the intake of oxygen needed . It also takes some time before the victim actually passes away. I actually studied death's effects on the body, I actually know what victims go through, try going to a morgue or watch an autopsy of a victim. Maybe next time you want to be a keyboard warrior, you should realize some people have more knowledge on the subject than you do. Are you still ok with them getting it easy compared to the trauma their victims face? You aren't as ignorant as to think that lethal injections or electric chairs just start themselves right? Someone has to push those buttons, but I guess in your mind that is ok? Thanks for sharing that with us.
@@notamusedboosh I never said that, But I don't think someone should have to cut him up and eat him or burn him or throw him to the sharks or whatever the method he used....Only you implied that, that someone working for the penal system or government, should be equally as screwed up as the perpetrator, to kill him the same way, that he killed his victim....So yes I think you are wrong.
@@notamusedboosh Are you trying to convince me, or just yourself on how smart you think you are ? I wont be waiting for a book on your Ideology that's for sure, I don't mean offense to you but....Wow you are really out to lunch on this...
One of the cases that really get to me knowing she was alive in the woods when that cop stopped him while he was drunk and suspicious
I've googled but can't find any information about the young woman prank calling pretending to be Polly. It takes either a particularly vicious bully to do this TWICE, or/and a very abused child. I hope the girl got help and counseling, or appropriate punishment. weird. Poor Polly.
Charlotta,these kids who finds amusement in adding to other peoples tragedies,are disturbed. No help will help them,they are destroyed. Wonder what her life turned out to be...
Not really; kids and teenagers haven’t fully developed empathy at that age. Most of them have no problem acting like complete sociopaths. Teenagers are cruel.
Teenagers and children are especially cruel...
a healthy child will develop a first sense for right or wrong around four years of age. sure, children can be cruel or play cruel "pranks" without bad intentions even after that, but I can assure you from a children's psychologist point of you that this is not normal behaviour.
@@serenacelestine kids know good from evil, its your children the heathen who dunno what love is because you dont feed them the right laws when they grow up. You feed them foods and videogames and math, but thats it. Its your fault, not your childrens to grow an animal heart.
All the people that seen him in the yard by the door or even in front and didn't call police or even tell the owner of the home they will forever be haunted with the decision to ignore that
I'm surprised, how humans behave, so many people saw this evil looking man, that even on broad daylight would look suspicious and scary to me and I consider myself tough enough man,lurking at night in at polly's house on the middle of the night and nobody alerted police, yet again, they call police for pranks diverting their leads and investigations, strange world,
And the other thing, why did it take police so long to catch him,sure enough they new his description there were 50000 posters put up,so the cops that stopped him on the driveway, they didn't know at that time how about day after or week after,if they had acted quickly, there was a chance she would of been alive.Rest In Heavens little Angel
The chances of him being caught were so great 😭 what a terrible fate. That poor baby girl 😩
😔
The only thing that monster didn't plan for was getting his car stuck. Some beer and a little weed and he has convenient amnesia. That jackh*le cut the fabric into strips ahead of time, staked out the house, etc. His story was utter b.s. and the entire tragedy could and SHOULD have been avoided, if only he had been dealt with appropriately by the justice system previously.
Wish those little girls would of kept screamin when he came in the Bedroom..broke windows or ran..anything but silence..R.I.P Polly....
He literally said the first 24 hours are the most critical, and within that time frame a missing child would already be harmed, or even dead. So how come when my daughter went missing they wouldn't do a search until she had been missing for 24 hours.. our judicial system is so broken. They protect these sicko's when they should be killing them. Sorry not sorry. I have no sympathy for ppl that hurt kids
And you daughter?
I hope your daughter is safe
Was your daughter a minor? There is supposed to be no waiting period for a minor.
They also set up meetings which is taking away time!
That’s why I don’t let my daughter do sleepovers. I’m too scared for something like this to happen or something else.
Millions of kids have sleepovers and nothing happens, your kids are at greater risk of dying in a car accident. Children are statistically in more danger at home with a family member than over at a friend's house. Seriously, "stranger danger" is much less of a problem than family danger.
Don’t rob her of simple child hood things because when she grows up she will always remember my mother never let me spend the night at friends house.
Really? This is the only case I've heard of a child being abducted from a sleepover. If you do have one, I wouldn't recommend knocking yourself out with sleeping pills like the mother did though - not because this could happen again, but there should always be a responsible adult available.
@@abbasgirl74 I know of a few.
@@samanthamoreno8855 Who else do you know of that was abducted from a sleepover?
So much patient detective work. So sad no one reported the guy lurking about a neighbor’s home.
He deserves the punishment he’s getting that poor girl and her family and friends the hardest thing is not knowing where she’s at
This shows you how sick the world is
I find this type of real stories very interesting on how investigators go about collecting evidence, analyzing it, putting all pieces together to catch a killer or offender. Although I surly do not wish this to anyone ever. Thank you for brining us video stories like this
bro im so ready for this series
Why anyone would keep their door open all night!
Did mom sell her child?
the door wasn't open it was a window that was slightly open
I can only imagine, one of the hardest things about being a detective on a case like this, is the restraint, of blowing his brains out.
If that guy called the police Polly would prob be alive today
He was a kid. Get a grip
Aw yeah the teenager.
