      I have one ....... Gabby I know u said in your live stream u would probably not do a video on ted Bundy and on his life but maybe you can do a case video on a unsolved disappearance that he was suspected to have involvement in or he possibly killed when he was 14 year's old and I'm referring to is the unsolved disappearance of an 8 year old little girl named Ann marie burr who was this little girl from Tacoma Washington and she disappeared on August 31 1961 when she was abducted from her home in the room she shared with her younger sister who broke her arm just days before she disappeared and still to this day we still don't know what happened to her and still to this day she still remains missing and the police and Ann Maries mother believed Ted Bundy possibly was responsible for the disappearance or possible death of little Ann Marie cuz he was only 14 year's old and lived only two blocks away from her house and maybe you should do a video on it cuz yea it's pretty messed up because police did suspect Ted Bundy possibly killed more women than the 30 women he killed and he was only 14 years old when she disappeared and it was this early in his life police suspected he had involvement ....... What do you think I know u said that u probably won't do a video on Ted Bundy but maybe take consideration Gabby idk if Ted Bundy kinda was lying in this case though but kinda a good way to celebrate Zac efrons Oscar worthy portrayal of Ted bundy

This means he knew how both law enforcement and criminal circles operate. He had the knowledge to truly get away with a kidnapping, and to even sell a human. He could have simply blamed the bikers, or sold Amy to the bikers. He flew to South American frequently. Amy wrote in her diary of a man offering to take her to South America. He drove a white van. She had a photo in her camera of a white van of the same model as his. Blair started making harassing calls to Amy’s mother after Amy was kidnapped.

I am always on the hunt for updates and I appreciate getting a refresher on it. It sparks my interest and I start digging again. Unfortunately, I don't think this case will ever get the closure the family needs, but I said that about the night stalker and look what happened.

  • @tporchia7751

    I'm not thinking it was a biker gang, not a serial killer. I'm actually curious about a photographer who took Amy's photo out in front of her dads store approximately.1-2 weeks before the disappearance. This photographer eventually notified Amy's mother asking her if she wanted the photo. I'm thinking that if he took her photo, and maybe chatted with her a minute, that maybe he was driving by that day on March.5th and as she recognized him, accepted a ride. Who would hitchhike if a destination is a mile away? I believe it was a lone killer. A local creep. Possibly this photographer, and at that time, there were many fake photographer guys trying to get teenage girls.

    I'm sorry but why would OCD/alcoholism make him need to call her mother and torment her? I know OCD involves routine and if that was the case then he needed to do it to calm his OCD he would not have changed phonebooths it would have messed with his head too much. Had he said something like schizophrenia I might believe it was a mental illness compelling him to do it. I get a bad feeling from Henry and think he had more to do with this then they think/know. I do have to wonder if he had a friend or had a way of knowing the details about the case, as going back to the phone booth, why was one was being used repeatedly but when the police finally track it down another starts being used? that screams inside knowledge even if it wasn't him whoever it was, was getting information about the case from someone. Henry did work for the government and even if it wasn't a high ranking job it still might have granted him access to information or been enough to intimidate someone to hand it over.
    Her mother was amazing and I hope that something is found out so at least her brother can have the peace of mind of finally knowing what happened that their parents never could.

    • @mydnyghtrayvyn
      @mydnyghtrayvyn 5 лет назад +2

      I have OCD and when I was first diagnosed, I was terrified that I might act on the intrusive thoughts. Both my psychiatrist and psychologist explained that while the thoughts were scary and horrible, I would not act on them. In fact, I’ve come to learn that some OCD sufferers will turn themselves into the authorities because of their thoughts. Their rationale is that if they are thinking these horrible things over and over, they must have done or will do whatever it is they are thinking of. Then, when questioned by the police or social workers, it is quickly found that the person has done nothing and doesn’t even fit the profile of someone who would. All of this being said, it sounds like Henry or Hank was a psychopath and this was part of his “game”.

Like if people knew the hell I live with sometimes a random thing I will have to do even if I don't want to but I just don't think he's saying the truth here and he's using OCD as an easy scapegoat. So that's the thing. Poor girl, she had her life ahead of her.

    Such an interesting case! I have to say that the journal entries are significant. I think he's picked her up that day, they've spoken again about his idea for them to go to South America and they've fallen out. He abducted and most likely killed her. The calls to the mother afterwards were because he was still angry that she didn't want to go with him.
    Whatever the truth, a tragic loss for her parents and Hank should've gotten more than two years.

Gabby like I said I know you said you probably won't do a video on Ted Bundy but maybe u could have a look into this case cuz it's interesting that it's about a 14 year old boy who lived close by and knew the family very well and their 8 year old daughter coviently disappeared and ironically who knew that this 14 year old boy would grow up 2 be one of Americas most notorious serial killers of all time so what do you think?????

There are a lot of twists and turns. The Netflix documentary regarding this case: Who Took Johnny, is a real mind bender, especially since I lived in West Des Moines at the time.

    My husband had a double who was not related to him. They both lived in a mid-sized city in California, they were both 5 foot tall (which is unusual in the US), they were both approximately the same weight, they were within 2 months of age, they both had receding hairlines and they both had a little scar in about the same area on the forehead (my husband's scar was from chicken pox, his double's was from teen acne). I met my husband online (back in 1994!) and when I went to California to meet him face to face, one of the things we did was go to meet his double. My husband and his double had met when they both worked in the same large company and people started to say odd things about "weren't you just over at (blank)?" They became friends and stayed in touch for many years.
    They weren't so close in appearance that you'd think they were twins but might think that they were related somehow (so far as they knew, they were not at all related). If you didn't know one of them fairly well, I think it would have been easy to mistake them.
    That makes me think that it is plausible that Amy may have had a double who had an appendectomy scar and was living with or being passed around a biker gang. Plus there's the fact that many biker gangs claimed all kinds of wild stuff in order to make them seem more intimidating to outsiders.

Trip & fall down? My fault. Bullied at school because I'm the new kid? My fault. Hitchhiking, so kidnapped? My fault. Murdered by some wandering psychopath? My fault.

      I'm basically okay now. My mother has been dead since 1980. As she was dying of cancer she started to treat me very lovingly, afraid (I think) of facing punishment for her behaviour after death. I was so happy & hoped that this meant the start of a whole new relationship, with love instead of abuse. Then she died, at 56. My main problem now is having been cut off from that possibility of having a normal mother/daughter relationship. I would have forgiven & forgotten everything, the killing of my pets, the degradations, the cruelty, everything. But it's all unresolved, instead. That's the hardest part. Thank you so much for your kindness. It really does mean a lot. 💖

    Much like yourself Gabby, this case has driven me crazy ever since I heard of it. I've scoured Jane Doe pages looking for anything that might bring the family a break in this case but there seems to be nothing. The most plausible theory (for me at least) is Hank. There are just TOO many coincidences and things that don't add up at all. As always, amazing video.

  • @edsanchez6173
    @edsanchez6173 5 лет назад

    Thank you for another great video and for keeping these cases alive. Again, authorities thought she ran away, I need to do some research into how common “running away” was in the 50s, 60s and 70s that authorities jumped to this conclusion so often. It is hard to believe that authorities, once they caught up with Blair for stalking, didn’t go through his life with a magnifying glass. They must have turned over everything in his life thinking they got the guy, no doubt, and just didn’t find any empirical evidence despite the huge neon sign coincidences pointing to him. The biker angle is tough to vet because the description is just not specific enough. If the scar on Amy was not public knowledge, then that biker made an unbelievably good guess. I can’t say for sure, but the feeling I get is that Amy was the victim of some sort of human trafficking scheme that both Blair and the biker had some connection to. Blair’s connection to this case is just so profound, I have a hard time letting it go, and the biker and his girlfriend never made a dime from this. It’s possible they were both tied to this even if neither was ultimately responsible for what became of Amy. I expect her mother will find a way to continue looking for her Amy even though she passed away. Perhaps justice can be served, if not in this life, then the next.

I am going to make sure everyone unidentified, is ruled out, that could be here. I see she has 25 rule outs I am going to go through those and the other missing ladies who meet her matching identifiers to see if any were missed or need to be resubmitted for DNA again. Thanks for your efforts very good case.

    ⛔️ The Henry “Hank” Blair guy seems most responsible for her disappearance. He was a Supervisor Customs Agent in undercover operations. This means he knew how both law enforcement and criminal circles operate. He had the knowledge to truly get away with a kidnapping, and to even sell a human. He could have simply blamed the bikers, or sold Amy to the bikers. He flew to South American frequently. Amy wrote in her diary of a man offering to take her to South America. He drove a white van. She had a photo in her camera of a white van of the same model as his. Blair started making harassing calls to Amy’s mother after Amy was kidnapped. He had the knowledge and experience in law enforcement and dealing with criminals. Surely they could find more evidence on him.

    • @pinklion2237

And the case I'm referring to is the unsolved disappearance on ann Marie burr an 8 year old girl who disappeared on August 31 1961 and she was from Tacoma Washington and she was abducted from her house in the room she shared with her younger sister who broke her arm just days before she disappeared and still to this day she still remains missing and we still don't know what happened to little Ann Marie and the police even Ann Maries mother believed that Ted Bundy who was only 14 year's old at the time and lived only two blocks away from her house was suspected to have killed Ann Marie or possibly have involvement with her disappearance but he claimed in a letter he wrote to ann Maries mother that he had nothing to do with her disappearance or death cuz he was a normal 14 year old boy but idk and like I said I know you possibly would not do a video on Ted Bundy but maybe you can check this case out cuz many believe he was involved in it what do you think?????

    Awesome work, Gabby! I love your videos! I've also been interested in missing persons' cases for some time. I started watching this video and had to start researching the case for myself. This case is an absolute rabbit hole. Several different rabbit holes, really. There are several possibilities of what could have happened to Amy. This is a long post, I apologize! I just want to lay out what I've found about this case. It's mystifying.
    The Biker Gang Theory: Either the Pagans of the Outlaws. The Outlaws were running wild in Florida - especially in 1974. They were a known violent threat and law enforcement didn't know what to do with them. They kidnapped, beat, tortured, and raped young girls almost daily. Eventually murdering some of them. Those that survived the horrible ordeal would always refuse to press charges against Outlaw members. They were too afraid. The Pagans weren't as bad, according to my research. But it's still known that they liked to pick up young women to party. www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1995-09-10-9509100181-story.html
    The Henry "Hank" Johnson Blair Theory: So many coincidences or were they really coincidences? Hank was known to travel to South America for his job and like Gabby said in the video, Amy wrote an entry a few weeks before going missing, that Hank wanted her to go to South America with him. There's also the intriguing van photo found on Amy's camera, which was later found on the side of an exit on Florida's turnpike. A known route that both of the biker gangs took. But it's possible Amy may have gone with Hank and they took that route, too. But why would she get rid of her camera? Did Hank dispose of her camera? There are NO bike/motorcycle or biker's photos on her camera that we know of - only a picture of that suspicious van. There are rumors that Hank took Amy down to South America and may have killed her or even sold her into sex trafficking once they arrived. Hank's job was to interfere in drug trade. Some people believe since he was in that business and knew seedy people that he may have had ties to sex trafficking. Who knows. There is yet another theory that Hank killed Amy and dumped her remains in Michigan. I'm not sure why Michigan came up specifically. I'll have to look into that further, but it's another theory that a few people have.
    Serial Killer Theory - Amy could have hitched a ride with another man and that man turned out to be her killer. The construction workers who saw Amy the afternoon of her disappearance told reporters they did indeed see Amy "thumbing" for a ride on the side of the road. One worker also claims he saw her get pulled into a white van. Who did this white van really belong to?
    The Alcala Theory: A little-known theory that some hold, is that serial killer Rodney Alcala may have crossed paths with Amy Billig at some point. Rodney Alcala is known as "The Dating Game Killer" among other nicknames. He's the creepy guy who went on "The Dating Game" tv show back in the 70's. He ended up winning, but after speaking with Alcala for a few minutes, the female contestant refused to go out with him. Rodney Alcala ended up murdering several women throughout the 70s. The Billig connection comes into play when police find a box of pictures Alcala took of several different women when we was claiming to be a photographer. This box was found in a storage unit in Seattle, WA. One of the photos bears a shocking resemblance to Amy Billig. Did Amy make it out to Seattle, Wa? Or even Huntington Beach, CA where Alcala lived and did many photo shoots with women and victims? Did Alcala possibly have something to do with the disappearance of Amy? It seems like a long shot. However, Amy had big dreams of becoming an actress and she was a singer-songwriter as well (as mentioned in the video.) She may have hitchhiked to California. Where else would a young girl who wants to be famous go? So far, law enforcement has not linked Alcala in the disappearance of Amy Billig. It's only thought by some there is a connection because of the photo found in Alcala's storage unit. The woman in the photo may not be Amy. Police have yet to look into Alcala's whereabouts in March of 1974 in connection with this case. The photo is # 106 in the slideshow (it won't let me link directly to the photo): www.sfgate.com/news/local/article/Women-children-shown-in-eerie-photos-by-serial-6535161.php#photo-8712243
