And the fact she kept changing locations was probably someone making sure she wasn’t being tracked or to get the surveillance of her confused which was probably a clue that the person has done this before. Trafficking or serial killer.
I had a friend who lived in Yorkton at the time and he remembered seeing a girl who looked like Mekayla and was behaving suspiciously. Because he was in the police force, he decided to follow her to see if she had been using drugs. He saw her approach an airport and go inside, but he didn’t tell me anything that happened afterwards.
What we learned from all of this, if a friend ever Ever EVER texts and says “I need help” and minutes later says “never mind I figured it out” ASK what was wrong, ask what she figured out, be nubby, be noisy, ASK.
The problem with that idea is: this was a school day. Her friend was in class when she texted so she probably didn't even see the messages until later.
It’s pretty obvious to me that she’s using the restaurant WiFi to make audio calls through an app. That would explain why the phone company has no records.
That's how things are generally for an Average teen. Even I did not have any friends growing up. Kids these days have it ugly. They have to deal with social media too
The way it sounds, when she figured she couldn't get a ticket or her contacts fell through, she may have attempted to hitchhike and that's where things went south.
Miss Wonnykins Honestly that makes a lot of sense. I’ve heard of a lot of stories like that but more so from the 20th century. I think if that happened, either she is dead, or maybe alive still? But 24 hours is the most crucial time for a missing person, when it’s already 48 hours the chances of them being dead is high.
Seems like someone would’ve seen her walking on the side of the road if she had. I’m guessing she met up with her “friend” and she was probably sex trafficked or something.
Does someone still allow hitchhiking from strangers these days? Isn't hitchhiking not legal anymore because of all those tragic kidnapping and rape cases during the 60's and 70's?
I asked a friend who lives in Canada, and she said this “Between Regina, Saskatoon, and North Battleford there are a lot of Disappearances, and cases of Human trafficking” so that’s definitely a possibility, just one I don’t wanna think about
I live in Regina and can confirm there's a very high disappearance rate. I believe North Central in Regina is or was at one point the highest murder rate area in Canada
I'm curious why the school didn't call her mother when she didn't show up to any of her classes?? My school immediately calls parents when kids aren't in class
@@p_dusty5451 I mean I'm in America and it really depends on the school. But most schools where I'm from will call when I kid doesn't show up. They do attendance, If you're not there then bam call the parents and find out if you're home sick. Helps prevent situations like this happening, if they informed the parents they could've caught her before she disappeared forever. So it's unfortunate that they didn't call the parents
In small town sask, teachers don’t call if it’s one class or so. If you miss like 3 days of classes they will call,l but they won’t call for every single class.
@@miss_chrissy I definitely agree, I'm from rural Ohio and my school calls for absences. Maybe not every class, but beginning of the day attendance and maybe after they miss a few classes of the day. I sincerely hope that the school she attended, and hopefully schools all around, started calling parents after this case.
@@DrFeelGoood yeah I was really surprised they weren't called especially since the school looked big. So many of thesd situations could've been prevented if schools just did roll call and called parents
Back when I was in high school (US) they didn't call unless you skipped 2 or more classes more than once a week or unless you skipped a whole day. Public schools really only care about kids when it's convenient or effects budget.
There was just a recent case somewhat similar in Alberta with a 13yr old girl from Edmonton. She was missing for a week before they just found her yesterday (July 2,2022) across the boarder in Oregon. Fortunately she was found , however the man who took her was a 41 year from Oregon. It seems a lot of planning went into this case as well. I'm happy she is found. Not many of these cases end like that. 41 yr old Noah madrano is being charged with ORS.163.225 - KIDNAPPING II -NO BAIL ORS.163.427 - SEXUAL ABUSE I -NO BAIL ORS.163.365 - RAPE II -NO BAIL That case reminded me of this one and this one continues to break my heart. I hope the family gets answers.
Feel like she was groomed. The constant conversation with someone basically proves it, and they likely had Ill intentions to start with, I.E asking HER to book the hotel so it cannot be traced to them. They were giving her directions the whole time, which would also explain her erratic behavior.... part of me wonders if they told her that they were her dad.
I agree with this. She was clearly talking to someone and received instructions. This person was very careful to not show themself on any cctv, didn't want to book hotel to leave a trace, knew how to communicate without leaving any traces. It's very suspicious
@@D5801 Yeah. A clear sign that she was given instructions by someone is how she leaves through the first exit at Wendy's, then proceeds to leave through the other exit instead
Yes! This explains why she would sit at these restaurants for so many hours and do nothing. They probably said to meet up but due to cameras and people, they probably changed their mind and told her to leave again and eventually to book a hotel so they can meet up without them being traced. But when she didn’t know how to do that, they probably told her to go somewhere else
From I understand, they are, but a lot of TV shows, movies, etc. agree to make it look like they're really low quality to trick criminals into thinking they can get away with stuff.
@@mrscreamlad6572 that sounds really stupid. Why would you want to incite crime when you might as well prevent it by telling the truth? Though I can understand it if it means that it makes the cameras seem less threatening thus making criminals less wary of them in the first place.
@@mrscreamlad6572 not True at all. The CCTV footage would take up TERABYTES if it wasn’t for the poor quality. So they’re essentially low quality in order to be stored on a hard drive
@@mrscreamlad6572 This is stupid. High resolutions just require a lot of storage, so oftentimes the lowest reasonable resolution is used. There's no dumbfuck conspiracy on this
watching the surveillance footage is oddly creepy. seeing everyone else enjoying themselves, not knowing a future missing person is in the exact same place as them
Sadly, it’s pretty obvious from the footage that she’s trying to meet up with someone, but whoever it is keeps changing the plan and moving her around to make sure they can’t be traced or caught doing what they are about to do. That stuffed full backpack isn’t exactly for shopping or going to the park for the day... she has planned on going somewhere with someone. It’s really eerie looking at that video footage with all of that in mind. Makes you shudder. The only wildcard is the older woman being asked for help with a hotel room. That kind-of suggests that she’s running away alone, although it could also mean she thinks she was stood up and wants to grab a place to stay for the night because she can’t go back home. That would also explain the message for help to her friend. Either way, it’s pretty clear this naive girl was distressed and bumbling into a very bad situation. :(
i think some guy groomed her convinced her they’re going “”on vacation”” that’s why she had a bag packed, why she wanted a hotel room, and why she was obviously cagey about everything
Another person in the comments suggested who ever she was attempting to meet(going off your theory)might have asked her to rent a room under her name so it doesn’t trace back to him. When she was unsuccessful he likely continued the goose chase. All in an effort to conceal his identity and confuse law enforcement of her activity to make it hard to track her whereabouts.
It never really said what kind of help she was seeking from her friend and it seemed as though her friend never even responded 2 ask what was wrong...That really bothered me for some reason....
@@giondennis6808 You have to remember this all happened during work hours and school(her friend was in class and likely didn’t see the text)remember she visited some friends at lunch briefly to say she was leaving then left a few minutes later. I don’t think it’s possible to guilt the friend in any way.
This is really unfortunate, my take is that she's either been kidnapped by her contact and she's dead or she wiped herself from society and she's out there but doesn't want to be found. The investigation just ending like that leads to many possibilities, but this is my opinion from hearing cases like this.
@Speez71rm It could be, if it was someone older, he/she could've planned her runaway from around that time, and with that very same person she was making several untraceable calls on the day of her disappearance.
TrollForce i feel like she probably got groomed by an older man who told her he’d elope with her and promised her money and gifts, or perhaps already bought her some that they didn’t find out about.
I don’t think a teen girl would be able to just disappear completely on her own. She wasn’t even able to book a hotel room. With her history using Kik and actively engaging with strangers, like many people have said ,she most likely was groomed by an experienced groomer who knew how to avoid detection
My thoughts too. She was talking to a lot of random strangers online and through untraceable apps. She likely met up with one of these individuals and they murdered her.
I dunno about Canada, but in my country, you can't book a hotel room if you're underage. Besides, even if you could, the hotel would have your details and a copy of your passport, which would make dissapearing harder.
@@OneKnifeYeHand its the same with my country. At least here in the US, they ask for a credit card and ID to verify that you’re the person checking out the room and are 18+ That information can be requested by anyone in law enforcement if someone’s gone missing or if that person is a wanted suspect. Not easy to go missing using that route
Not just anonymous online, he must know how to avoid a lot of cctv in shop etc. Not even a trace of car or a bus she is taken. Very slick guy, very prepared at what he do.
What is mysterious to me is how no one ever thought about her hitchhiking. She only had $55. There is no way she was going out of town on a bus and expect to have any money to buy food much less a motel/hotel room for even 1 night. She hitchhiked and got into the wrong car. The trans-Canadian highway is no stranger to being hunting grounds of serial killers preying on women. There is even a stretch of Highway 16 that is called, The Highway of Tears because it had been the location of many missing and murdered women. And Highway 16 runs through Yorkton.
Except that our tiny planet is huge in comparison to how tiny we are. Imagine trying to find a missing ant in a mansion, amongst other ants. Except this missing ant is probably dead and stuffed in between some floor board crack.
If you lived with a single parent, lived in Saskatchewan, or have low confidence. You will become depressed and would immediately like to leave. Sincerely, a Saskatchewan denizen.
Coming into America from Canada I was brought in and asked questions by the border cops. I was sitting in a room waiting and was astounded by the thousand thousands of pictures of missing people on the wall, mostly women and girls. After 15 min or so I was released and back on my way home but that wall of missing faces has always stuck with me.
Really tells a lot about the isolation and traumatic neglect of a massive amount of men and boys if there's such a large market for sex trafficking like that. Addressing the symptoms alone will never solve the problem, nor will criminalizing and vilifying male victims of sociosexual isolation.
I remember somebody telling me that their friend became extremely depressed from taking too much accutane. If she was overdosing on it like opioids, she was most likely not in the best mental state and it might have something to do with her self harm and desire to run away. Personally, I think that she felt really lonely, either at her house or with her social life, most likely the latter because she said that she didn't have any friends, despite obviously having some. She probably met somebody on Kik and ran away to go live with them. I really hope she is doing okay.
madz !! I took it, twice and I dunno how it is in America but they always ask if you’re depressed or anything because I guess it can worsen it if you already have it
im currently on accutane and i have depression and it definitely fucked w me the first month. kinda paranoid from this story i hope i dont go batshit lmao
I was on Accutane for about a year. Half of the year everything was totally normal. For a short time though they doubled my dose for some reason and I was super wacked-out, depressed and suicidal. I remember throwing a huge fit with my family once just because they wanted to take me shopping. What a nightmare.
@YuPei so you don't have an intellectual comment and just resort to insults? Lol. You sound like you spent thousands on some criminology course and are now salty that I have more knowledge than you for free.
@@AverageAlien instagram messages arent sent with gps... not sure what you're getting at, When someone sends a message to you they use their Instagram app/client to send that message to the server. The client only need to know the IP address of the Instagram server and that the message is intended for a specific user that exists on Instagram. her phones pings and cameras are from public locations and can be accessed, her personal information (social media) is probably very protected for lawsuit reasons, these companies cant go around giving your information out to anyone who asks and even if they did have more information than theyre letting on such as spying on people illegally, why would they admit to it?
I think the reason why she was sporadically "leaving" Tim Hortons was that she was checking the parking lot for a car. I also think it's possible that she doesn't want to be found. She did have a history of self-harm, posting about loneliness, talked about traveling. She might've told her friends that her acne medication were hard drugs in an effort to impress them (she also hung out with smokers). It's possible that she was just a very lonely kid who felt dissatisfied with her life and wanted to start a new one. That's just speculation though, still doesn't explain who she kept trying to meet at Tim Hortons.
I instantly thought the same thing in regards to her checking the parking lot and the story she told her friends about the pills. Also the way she went clear back to school just to tell her friend about going on "vacation" and then leaving again. I believe she was trying to impress her friends. Kinda like a "watch what I'm gonna do" kinda thing. Either way with all stories like this you can only HOPE that people find their way back home safe again.
Maybe whoever she was looking for at Tim Hortons was going to help her get away, and they were going to go off together. Or maybe she was just trying to make sure nobody caught her skipping school or something? ((Like so they wouldn't try and drag her back if she was trying to leave))
@@FreedomLovingLoyalist Tor is only scary to laymen because the government and corporations don't want you using tor because they dont have their claws in it. Same with kik. Nothing more the powers that be hate than not knowing your every online action.
I think I know what really happened, it's always the "Sweet person turned out to have a dark side" cliche. What happened is that maybe she wanted to go on vacation without her mother she's annoyed at her for "Babying" her so she decided to go on a trip with an unknown person who most likely either kidnapped or killed her.
well, if it turned out they were never actually in danger it would be a massive breach of privacy. people still have rights even when theres a criminal investigation
@@sallybrite1530 so you're suggesting...what, exactly? that we should get even _fewer_ rights because of the ones that have already been infringed? it's already bad here, I'd rather not add "martial law in the case of a criminal investigation" to the roster...
@@whenbrainstopwork240 you make it sound like to did it on purpose? Because that's stuff that we're warned against in school and on TV XD We have it drilled in how to keep safe. And yet my classmates never seemed to care.
Roadent1241 I was 11, 12, 13 and (kind of) 14, and I had extremely low self esteem and just wanted to feel pretty and worth something, so I looked for attention online. Kids are stupid. It’s not like I was a full grown adult doing this. I went through things I shouldn’t have gone through.
Is it possible that she was pretending to be on the phone but wasn’t really talking to anyone and that’s why the calls were not recorded? I cannot tell you how many times I’ve pretended to be on the phone when I’m trying to avoid people in public, especially those pushy salespeople at the mall that are always trying to give you samples of makeup or offer to straighten your hair. Ladies, you know the people I’m talking about. Maybe she wasn’t really on the phone at all and was simply trying to look less conspicuous. I don’t know, just a theory.
I thought so as well. I often pretend to be on the phone when i'm on my own at restaurants & cafes just to look less awkward around people who sit in groups. It may seem weird to a lot of people that someone would do that, but it's a thing. Especially among socially awkward/ anxious people. Another theory of mine is that she could pretend to be on the phone because she felt like she was in danger. The way she keeps looking over her shoulder & seems to be so hyperaware of her surroundings is just super strange. Maybe she wasn't waiting for someone to meet her, maybe she was checking if whoever was following her gave up on waiting for her to leave that restaurant?
I think she was on the phone and had a conversation with someone that prompted her to text her friend that she needed help. She had some kind of conversation that led to her asking for help.
TCherice I used to do that all the time when I walked home in highschool. I always felt embarrassed walking home by myself so I would pretend to talk on the phone, I even had pretend conversations so that it wasn’t obvious I wasn’t talking to anyone. Definitely an anxiety/low self esteem thing. That’s a really good point.
I love Jorges voice, it's not super creepy like other voices that do this kind of stuff. It's really nice to listen too, doesn't make ya scared outta ya socks.
@@sillylittleguyjerry he always switches from present to past tense when he's supposed to stay in just past tense. It's not really a problem for me or anything, just something I've noticed.
@@thallakai it's a writing trick some people do to mimic how real people talk.. chuck palahniuk does this in his book, switching tenses and person all the time
that, or she was looking for someone who was meeting her. My guess is, unfortunately, she had been groomed on Kik & planned on meeting said person. They probably planned on meeting up at the restaurant.
I thought about that too. I had two rounds of it and never had that side effect, but I know other people have and it’s supposed to be heavily monitored by her dermatologist.
Annie Frank they’re supposed to ask you questions about depressive thoughts or mood changes, and you have to respond to questions on the accutane website about it as well. Obviously they don’t study psychiatry but if you show these symptoms they’re supposed to lower the dosage or take you off of it completely.
lol, that is so not true. depression can be through trauma, but also through genetics and certain products CAN bring you depressive symptoms. this person is not ignorant at all.
I feel like the reason the police have no records of her actually making calls is because she was voice calling through the Kik app or Snapchat app. Which obviously wouldn’t count as a normal call.
There is a guy in a black coat that walks into the Store at 9:33, He slowly walks up the isle where she is sitting and then seems to double back and what he was gonna do and continued to walk straight off camera. About 9:47 he walks back into view and stares over at her then quickly to the people in the booth at about 9:50. He strikes up a conversation with them and it seems they dont know who he is. It fast fowards and he is gone? That seems a bit wierd.
@@Luke-zj6geI would hope so. But that guy who walked in, he seems he was making sure Makelya wasn't talking to anyone. It seemed like she was gonna meet someone who never showed... Maybe he did, but it wasn't who she thought it was. So flipping messed up.
The way he looks over at her freaks me out. He needs to be investigated further, perhaps finding the people on that table and finding out what he said to them?
Sounds like she got taken. The trafficker must've made her go all over town to make sure she's not being followed, then waited until she went to the one place without cameras before luring her into a car. Seems like part of a pretty sophisticated network that knew exactly how to not leave a trace online for the feds to track. Hope they don't let this case go cold. I doubt she could've gotten that far on her own with no money or car at that age without getting caught on camera or kidnapped by another random creep.
I was speculating exactly about this trafficking theory and the most I think about it, the most convincing it becomes. The planning about this is just horribly well made and the fact that the sick bastard(s) who did this probably already got away with it, adds to the sad factor
Human trafficking is not like that. They look for at risk girls. Girls with family and friends who will look for them are not typical targets. Why take someone that risky when there are at risk girls and boys that no one will look for? Look into actual trafficking investigations.
more like shes living in someone's basement and is too subservient to escape, even when their captor is not at the house. it happens more than you would think.
The person who did this knew EXACTLY how to avoid detection. This is highly sophisticated. I assume that this experience shows that she was not the first victim. The person probably pretended to be young, so she had to use an adult's name for a room.
@@Flight368 they're referring to when she asked the older woman for help on getting a motel room. if she was comfortable asking people, it's possible she asked someone with ill intent
I believe she met someone online and she either planned to meet them, or run away with them. Of course she seemed anxious/nervous in the footage. She didn't want anyone to find out, like her family or friends. Explains why she was being so vague too. Seems like whoever she was going to see didn't show up on time (or at all for the day), so she figured she'd rent a room for the night first and continue waiting. If she was trying to rent a room online, she asked the old lady because she doesn't have a credit card and could have told the lady to book the room for her, and she'd pay the lady in cash. Lady refused her because it seemed sketchy, especially for a girl her age, to make such a request. I think Mekayla got impatient, or too nervous that she'd be seen by someone she knows, and left to go TO the person instead of waiting for them. Now who is was supposed to meet could be anyone. Maybe a boy around her age she wanted to have a relationship with? Or a pedo who possibly groomed her, and eventually kidnapped her. She's young, insecure, and vulnerable. Grooming her would be so easy for some predators. Or in the end, she ran away with someone at least temporarily, and decided to start a new life. No kidnapping. She just wanted to get out of town and never look back, for her own personal reasons.
I think the adult who'd groomed her into meeting him deliberately didn't meet her at the restaurant because he didn't want any witnesses see him with her. He probably watched her from the parking lot to make sure she wasn't an undercover cop, then once he'd confirmed she was underage, contacted her and told her to book a hotel room, so it wouldn't be in his name.
the last one seems kind of plausible cause a while back my friend try to make us run away with her, I asked her why and she said it was because she was "bored" we were in our last year of middle school (which for me is 8th grade, so I was 13 and everyone else turned 14)
You can't "groom" someone who's of the age of consent, which is 16 in Saskatchewan. Pedophiles aren't interested in 16 year olds, they like them much younger. Words mean things.
Dakota Thacker I don’t know how you extrapolated that I would call the police if anyone approached me asking me to book a hotel for them when the discussion was clearly in the context of a teenage runaway asking a stranger in the middle of a school day
The fact that it takes months for investigators to get social media records for missing person cases, where every day could mean the difference between life and death, is just wild.
No one checked her League of legends chat history? Do you know how many creepy guys play LoL and try to get with innocent girls like her? If she needed a "friend" she would have definitely tried League to find someone who shares her interests..
@@celio8751 Tbh I got a big feeling this is what happened, even mentioning kik reminded me that few years ago when I played league a lot of other players also used to use kik for adding people outside of the client..
@@comradecastor If they haven't and Riot keeps records of the chats even though so much time passed, I bet you you will find a grooming conversation there by some predator.
What probably happened was that she "met" someone on league. Over a few weeks if there was a kidnapper/abducter sends her flowers and gains her trust on kik. Eventually she wants to leave home and the supposed abducter tells her they'll help and they make their elaborate plan. She starts to doubt if she wants to leave or not.
It seems her mother is pretty secretive about the father, why wouldn’t the mom tell her about her dad, if she or her mom doesn’t know who he is then she could’ve been looking for her dad, if the mom does know about the dad then why is she hiding it from mekayla. If it could be proven that they family does know who and where the dad is that could probably lead somewhere. If the father is completely unknown then all media needs to be searched to see who contacted her and if anyone claimed to be her “father” I’m willing to bet it’s something domestic that made her leave
Especially with statement that "there is no evidence he is her dad", and not "No, that guy is not her father". Kind of a vague, yet telling way of speaking. Seeming to imply... Yes, he likely is her Father, but for one reason or another, she has refused to acknowledge it as fact... I mean, they took DNA, and still he fervently posts about her as her Father... I imagine had the DNA test come back as false, he would have been made to stop, as it could be a form of continued harassment in a way...
This sounds spot on. Females that grow up without a father always have a lot of issues. It's a psychologically proven thing. Plus her mom being so secretive about her dad is weird. I honestly wouldn't rule out some creep contacting her and pretending to be her dad. Then she leaves to go live with him and it took a turn for the worst.
epic “females”? You mean girls/women. And yeah it’s true. It’s also a proven fact when it comes to young boys who grow up without a mother. They also develop psychological issues.
Erica Whitney Johnson-Carmouche yeah this is what I agree with the most. She clearly wanted to leave, whether that be by bus, a ride, hitch hiking, etc. she seemed determined to leave no matter what and I think she tried to. Hopefully she’s still alive and doesn’t want to be found but it seems unlikely that no one would have seen her unless she just slipped through the cracks.
I think someone picked her up with the car after she realized that buying a bus ticket won't work (by 5pm both school and her violin lesson were over, so someone would've found her quick if she was still in town by that time)
I agree . It really seems like this girl thought she was running away. Weather she ran right into human trafficking or a crazy person's basement we don't know
Guy in dark clothing at Wendy's is, as many have said, definitely a bit suspicious. Doesn't appear to know the people he talks to, looks at Mekayla, but above all else... Walks into a food establishment ALONE and seemingly NEVER orders. I can understand going in and not ordering if you're just hanging out with friends who are eating, but to go in alone, strike up a chat with strangers, ogle a teenage girl, and dip? Yeah, he knows something.
@@adnanchaudri102but that's what armchair investigators love to do, make up unsubstantiated theories and put people's lives in the crossfire over some online conspiracy theory that holds no weight in any real police investigation let alone any criminal court
I think she was telling her friends because she believed whoever she was meeting was taking her on a vacation a real one and she wanted to have that teenage girl moment of look guys in doing something cool
I would hope the authorities investigated her League of Legends friend list as well as her social media. A World of Warcraft friend of mine recently married her husband as a fellow player after long distance dating for years, when he moved cross country for her. Those kinds of online relationships do exist, for better or for worse. This video only mentioned her LoL account once, then left it at that. I hope they didn't pass it off as "just a dumb video game".
Many moons ago I was on a greyhound going from Kamloops BC back to Calgary. The girl I sat next to was coming from Sam Francisco to Calgary to get married to a guy she met on world of Warcraft. I told her she is crazy to do something so risky like that. She said she normally agrees with me but she met him in real life when he visited her in San Fran. I still thought it was odd and just told her to be careful. Hopefully the two of them are happy together still. But you are definately right. Keep an eye on those in game friends. Maybe one may know more.
My Father disappeared 14 years ago when he didn't come home from work. Turns out he left for another family. We plan to reunite but my only question is why TF didn't he take me with him.
bacon froyo if he also lived with his mom, and his dad up and left and took him with him, then yea, that is considered kidnapping or something of the sorts
I will say now to add on to my original comment: A big part of me reacting that way may be from seeing an ordinary community from back then, this footage happened at the one time I wasn't depressed and despised the world so much, especially compared to now. However at the sametime seeing in that normal setting a seemingly innocent and nice person be suddenly put into this horrifying situation of who knows what and looking around with a paranoid vibe and seeming desperate rather than being at school and with her friends just makes me so glum. The atmosphere Jorge creates while showing the unsolved case adds to it.
it seemed to me like she was waiting to be picked up in the wendys but they never came. so she went to get the bus. so it seems like she voluntarily left, even if she was later kidnapped or whatever. when she told her friend "help" maybe she would tell her that someone was going to pick her up but now she needs either a place to stay or a way to get there. she figured she'd stay in a hotel or go by bus. maybe she wanted a room for the night so she'd have a place to stay without going back home (she had already said shed leave that day) and they'd pick her up the next day. she didnt get any help, apparently, so she went herself by bus. maybe she wanted the old lady to do the transaction so she wouldnt appear in the recipe or whatever. still just looks like she is leaving for a trip, leaving no trace. i could probably try the same thing and look weird in the footage. the fact that no other clue came after is the problem: she doesnt seem that weird from the footage or maybe chats to not use social media ever again. so kidnapping is the most likely answer. those people who claim have met a nice girl and had a nice chat dont seem that likely then, since its likely shed have a normal life and kept using the internet.
sounds like someone she was talking to online promised to pick her up and take her way to whatever fantasy they sold her. She bought it, but even though they coached her in using a burner phone, they thought she was smart enough to meet in an area with no video, when they realized she almost screwed them there, they at first thought of just ghosting her but after a while ( in the mean time she was just going to go it alone. hence the asking about a hotel.) They called her back and told her where to meet them.
If she said she'd leave that day, why would her grandma expect to pick her up from school? And why would she "miss" violin practice? Most likely didn't tell anyone at home about it.
@@TheHset i meant that thats what she told her friends; while telling her family nothing. however, that also doesnt make much sense. if she is leaving, why do it in the middle of the semester, apparently? itd make more sense if she just didnt tell anyone. i thought of it like a lie about where she was going during break.

Did anyone else notice that guy who walked in after her? He definitely looked over at her, looked like he knew her or was gonna talk to her but then went up to that table of older gentlemen instead. Didn't look like they knew him. Then he just seems to have left after. He seemed weird to me. Either way this is highly advanced. This person knew how to avoid detection.

Xross Productions I kno back when I was in school it was easy to go an come as I pleased due to my school being so big (it was 4 buildings in total) but in live in USA - this case is in CANADA - this is gonna be a weird reference but I used to watch joana ceddia (a RUclipsr) on youtube and she would leave school everyday to go home for lunch - so maybe coming and going in Canada is easier?? Just a thought not facts.
@Megan G I don't know. People on the internet joke about a lot of things they probably shouldn't. I will assume you have good intentions though, her mom Paula Bali is on Facebook. Contact her with any info you might have if the rcmp hasn't been helpful (which they are often not)
Mekayla’s bank account hasn’t used since she disappeared on Tuesday 12th April 2016 and that’s what concerns me the most about the whole case. If Mekayla is still alive why hasn’t Mekayla accessed her bank account or at very least contacted the police herself to tell them that she is safe and just don’t want to come home? I really hope that Mekayla is still alive that she will contact police herself and tell them that she is safe but the police wouldn’t be able to tell her family her location if Mekayla doesn’t want that.
If you’re trafficked in a human trafficking ring, I’d assume they don’t let you have free access to a smart phone or money, that’s how they would have control over you.
Honestly there's probably only 4things that could've happened: death, human trafficking, on the streets on drugs now, or she's living her life doing well
I honestly don't believe that she is dead. I think she was trafficked or just ran away with some guy she connected with on one of her social media accounts.
She followed someone’s directions on the phone for her escape. Everytime she looks on the phone, she either goes out or looks out. She knew there are cameras watching and she had to be careful as told by her by this person on her phone.
That’s also possible. But look at her again in some clips. She puts her phone to her ear, obviously calling someone. It’s therefore likely I think that she is messaging with the person on the phone. It could also be likely they were chatting about booking hotels too which supports her asking the old lady about hotels.
I feel like she met someone online, maybe even in league of legends. I've always said that online relationships are a dangerous thing, because you never truly know someone unless you've met them. And that's where the danger comes in. Sometimes the moment you realize someone isn't who they said they'd be, is already too late in these scenario's. My theory is, she met someone online who made her walk around and do all these things (while calling through and app so it won't show in the call logs). He made sure she wasn't followed and just observed her from a distance, maybe even made her walk around to make sure she was tired and couldn't resist. Then when it was time he made her walk to a place without camera's, and that's when she realized she was in big trouble, but it was already too late. The "I need help" to her friend 100% was a call for help because she might have have a suspicious after the guy kept making her wait and kept making her walk around. And the message after "nevermind, i figured it out" sealed her fate, because she probably told herself "Stop thinking so negative, it's fine".
100 percent agree. I think he was watching her from a nearby location. I don't think he went anywhere near her at the restaurant. He may have even catfished her, or was wearing clothing that hid his identity so she wouldn't recognize him. Her texting her friend was probably like, her doubting the situation and trying to get her friends POV.
It's possible he's familiar with the area. Her trying to get cash could have been some attempt to get funds to meet up with him.Maybe he was somewhere enjoying watching her pacing.
Even if she left to “start a new life” it’s still very unsafe for a young girl to try and do. Which sadly means to me she could have still met with foul play.
paula thousands and thousands of teenagers run away for various reasons every year, there definitely doesn’t need to be a guy involved for that to happen. I tried to run away myself when I was 16 because my home was very abusive at the time and I just wanted to get away from everything.
@@annie_xo Exactly. im 18 now and my fucking parents still fight with each other constantly, im about to lose my mind from the anxiety that have developed all these years... im actually considering of just running away, find a job somewhere else far from home and rent an apartment or something.

Machi Giceb I feel you, I moved out immediately when I was 18 and my mental health improved so much from getting away from my home situation, I was in a very bad state mentally.

Hang in there, stay safe and focus on what you need to do to help yourself. I wish you all the best, I know exactly how hard it is but things can and will get better ❤️
she seemed like she had depression, from her introverted personality her latest post on insta that said she had no friends and wanted to meet with someone the bio on her second Instagram account that said "Goodbye" and her past history with self harm those do match up to that theory a lot. I do hope she didn't commit suicide and she's okay now but since it has been 4 years since she has disappeared idk if that is likely. and I do hope they get closure for this sad situation cuz this is heartbreaking. :( only time will tell..
Me too I think she either dropped off the grid or committed suicide Not due to depression just cuz for no necessary reason She probably read a cosmic religious text,like Cthulhu or something and when I’m search of such a place,she probably read about a lot of things like journal sandbox everything increases her knowledge allowing her to throw off the police They should go through her belongings or books she read to through and consult psychologists or such that know about those things
Daniel Hewing the way she was acting on camera when spotted at the restaurant seems more like she was waiting on somebody not to mention the multiple untraceable calls I feel like if someone wanted to go off the grid or just commit suicide she would have just disappeared the moment she left school an not pop up in multiple places more then likely she met someone online probably was offered money, gifts an promises of taking care of her being that she was young an people who knew her said she was pretty naive it’s not hard to imagine some older person with bad intentions convincing her of leaving with them
God, how horrible. I did the DUMBEST things when I was a teenager and met up with several strangers from online. I’m so so blessed to be alive and safe. This poor baby is probably long gone because some sicko took advantage of her vulnerability.
Worst case scenario: she was groomed by an older man, and he got her. Best case scenario: she was a depressed teenager who ran away and is living her best life somewhere in a big city. Unfortunately it's probably the first one, but I hope its the second.
I would like it to be the best-case scenario but why was she looking around like she was trying to find someone? If I was going to run away I wouldn't go to a restaurant and hang I would just go you know. I think she planned to run away with someone else online...think about it. She's just 16 and needs someone else to run away with.
I believe with my whole heart KIK should be taken down. The platform has done more bad than good and everyone knows that. Once you mentioned KIK my heart dropped. I knew automatically anyone involved in her disappearance wouldnt be identified.
On kik I spent every single day over a year talking and video chatting to my dream girl in both looks and personality who lived kinda close by. In the end it turned out that freak lied about half her life to me, cut me out of her life out of nowhere, and was a legit sociopath and schizophrenic on top of that.
@@tonyg5132 hmmmm something is off here. You shouldn't have had to be 'kicked out of her life out of nowhere' once you realized half of everything she said was a lie... Seems you fell into some pay-for and couldn't understand she just wanted a transaction

Unfortunately this is what human trafficking looks like. It’s a huge problem. The signs are all there. The only “sightings” anyone is going to see of her is if they are engaging in the aforementioned activity. She’s either dead or leading a terrible life being forced to do terrible things. This is why parents need to monitor their child’s internet activities.
Monitoring is definitely essential in being an active parent. Most children(especially teens)go through the phase where they’re invincible and know everything. Reading through every single message? No. But making sure no one is telling them their parent doesn’t love them and they can take care of them? Yes. That’s the problem with social media is how easy access it’s given to predators to manipulate and isolate children that are already vulnerable and likely lack attention at home.
no offense but human trafficking is wildly exaggerated by the right wing media, and it occurs mainly in developing countries for transportation to developed countries, not the other way around, so it's not really what human trafficking looks like lol
I am so sure she was making plans to meet someone. Her body language suggests that it's someone she never told anyone about, someone whose identity she wanted to keep private. She was somewhat unhappy in her personal life and this "person" gave her some purpose, so, as a young, naive child she didn't see that there maybe something sinister going on, as there are traffickers and groomers who are experts at their field. I can see this as I see myself in her at 16, I displayed the same body language and behaviour, and i was talking to someone much older. He also made me move to different places in order to avoid detection, and i didnt think much of it....Unfortunately, I don't think it ended well for her, she was either sold into trafficking or is no longer alive, she was disposed off after she vanished.
this video hits very close to home, i am from a small town 45 minutes from yorkton and when she first went missing my school had a huge assembly and the assembly has stuck with me ever since. thank you very much for speaking out about this.
꧁Lil Fairy꧂ to “stay safe” at the time everyone was certain she was meeting a boy she met online. it was basically about the safety of online social media. the most haunting part and the part that sticks with me is the cry of her mother.

I think she was meeting up with someone who she met online and met with foul play. I don’t believe she’s alive anymore unless she is living in another country. Very sad case. I’m curious to know what her home life was like and why she seemed to desperate to get away.
What could they have done? You can't hold someone down, that's illegal. You can't talk someone out of it if they're determined to go through with it. All you can do is smile and inform the police, but they wont do anything until she's actually missing. I believe it's called "Report missing after 36-72 hours".
Right? I'm baffled as to why no employees paid attention to her. I would have gone up to her and asked if everything was ok after she kept going in and out.
Isaac Rodriguez It's very unlikely high school students take it serious when their classmate says their going to vacation to a city out of the blue. I don't blame them.
It was teachers that didn’t take her seriously too. Besides that, teachers need to work on being someone students can confide in. So many people have a tough high school experience at it’s crucial adults stay actively involved especially because kids are most impressionable at this age. Just really think about how listened to one adult to make her go missing when that one adult could have been a mentor at the school instead. All i’m saying.
In middle school we had two teachers who were being inappropriate with young girls in the class. There was one specific teacher we reported several times (literally all the girls in class reported this man) The school did nothing. I’m older than this girl, but it’s only been a recent thing where people could even openly discuss this type of behavior from adults. Even up into the early 2000s it really wasn’t something you discussed and if you did, most of the times it was just brushed off. At least it was with any experience I’ve ever had or with anyone I knew at the time. It is truely horrifying how many people are willing to look the other way in general. Doesn’t matter if I t’s self harm, domestic abuse, grooming, ect. Indifference, fear, apathy, or even acceptance from others as just the “norm”. If no ones discussing these things, but it’s happening to tons of people (and it always was), people just think “this must just be normal” As an adult I know now none of the grooming or abuse is normal and that there are people who care, but as a child/young girl/young woman, abuse is suffocating.
100% she was instructed to do every bit of activities here, especially during the cafe timeline. She's instructed to go through back exit, to sit there for a while, to go out and then go back in again, and to book a hotel room. Each activities signify whoever talks to her is actually nearby or locals who know the area. She was instructed to move around a bit to check whether she's alone or not. She was looking around to actually check whether there's someone who knows her (probably the question is "do you know anyone in that cafe?"). She chats that "she need help" before booking a hotel room because she thought that she could stay for a while in her friends house (since she cant book a hotel room) before actually going out. This is either a trafficking ring or a creepy groomer which is not a stranger to KiK.
The trusting approach of the old lady at Tim Hortons is what gives away what happened. She approached somebody. Probably asked for a ride. She got the ride.
It sounds like she was trying to run away but you know how it goes eventually you come back to your parents but as you said she definitely "got the ride"
My theory: She wasn’t happy with her life, so she turned to social media for attention and friends. She finally met someone with long term interests, and she tried to meet them. They didn’t show, so she tried running away her self, and probably hitchhiked and either got murdered or, successfully ran away.
I think that's what happened but I wonder why she was so secretive about him? Why did she make up lies? Why did she want a hotel booked under someones name?
It is funny because when I clicked on the video and seen it started in Yorkton I was shocked. I am in Esterhazy and I completely forgot about this story until I started to watch the video.
I've been in regina for about 5 ish years now and never heard of this case. Regina is getting really bad. It's one of the top places for human trafficking. Actual attempts to abduct people are happened in broad daylight. Like wtf?!
I’m a victim of grooming so I’m pretty sure this is what happened to her. The reason that none of her calls were able to be traced is because she likely called the person through Snapchat or something like that. Groomers love to use those apps because the messages disappear after a certain time frame and nothing is traceable. Kik is also commonly used because it’s mostly anonymous. I’m pretty sure whoever was on the phone with her convinced her to come live with him or visit (yes, groomers often do this) because she was naive, shy, had low self esteem, and was likely depressed. The groomer used this to his advantage and manipulated her. There’s also a high chance that foul play was involved. Such a sad case.
the fact that she was anxiously looking around and asking strangers/people she knows(despite saying she has no friends in real life) just sets off so many red flags for me that her mental health as clouding her vision. whatever she was trying to do seems incredibly like something she had been longing for for a long time but never got around to putting research into and the result was someone taking advantage of her weaknesses. with the information the police withheld and the hope the family is trying to keep, it painfully seems like the people on the inside are aware of just how low the possibility of her being alive is...
@Ramona Flowers i spent 15 yrs on heroin. I was lucky enough to stop and become a healthcare engineer. What's your contribution to society? What's your story that earns you the right to judge people like me? You better answer me.
I am so grateful my parents hammered into my brain just how dangerous talking to randos and promising to meet up irl really is. They didn't hold anything back, they showed me all the stories of these kinds of cases and it scared me a bit, but it was for good reason. A teenager is still a kid for a reason, they THINK they know better, but they really don't, AT ALL. I feel very bad for the family of this poor girl, and of course her as well. I just hope a conclusion is reached someday just to give peace.
Yeah her not saying to anyone where she was going is a huge red flag that she had bad parenting specially that she's a girl who's more vulnerable to these kinds of attacks.
Sounds like you have great parents and I so agree about your parents talking to you religiously about abductions, human trafficking and so on. Kids need to know about this kind of stuff. Parent's have to be "real" with theirs kids.
Yeah but these kinds of things can happen to adults as well so if you did wanna meet isn’t it better to idk meet in a place where you know there are cameras and how should I say this know who you are meeting first instead of not knowing how they look like
I have my suspicion that the mother had an indirect role in her disappearance. However, it could lead to two posibilities. Either she successfully ran away and just now changed her identity and appearance, or her hitchhiking attempt led to a kidnapping, and possibly sent to trafficking.
The cops are worthless in that Podunk town and federal authorities won't be pressured by incompetent cops who basically are codependent with certain criminals. You see if there are certain crimes unsolved you will never look at the police's lack of ethics, effort and know how.
I don't think she just "wanted to get away." She was a child with very little to no means of realistically supporting herself in a new place. Not to mention she had family, and no mentions of a bad home life. She maybe wanted to run away, but in all likelihood would've turned up home soon again afterwards like most teen runaways do Either she was fooled by an online predator and subsequently kidnapped, or she DID want to leave home but was kidnapped before she could safely return. Either way, unfortunately, I don't think the chances of her still being alive are very high....
No mention of bad home life? Really? I find that doubtful somehow, because how come that she was apparently depressed, did self-harm, and posted in her social media that she feels alone and wanted to have a friend? That's def more than a tell tale sign that she's having some sensitive issues at home. She was raised by her mom, a single parent right? Was there a mention of her father? Is he still alive, dead or something? It actually crossed my mind that what if she was trying to find his dad but for some reason her mom won't allow her to? Maybe someone have found her contacts or something and decided to introduce themselves as her dad, I mean that could be possible right? Edit: okay I might have quickly headed to the comments lmao. Her missing father was indeed mentioned but idk, so many possibilities with this case, what if those suspected people were lying y'know ?
@Godot Someone who had a bad home life would also be much more vulnerable and likely to trust someone online, especially if that person promised a better life if she went to be with them. I hope that's not what happened, but it's a possibility that can't be ignored.

Going outside and coming right back in suggests she was checking for someone who was supposed to show up for her.
And the fact she kept changing locations was probably someone making sure she wasn’t being tracked or to get the surveillance of her confused which was probably a clue that the person has done this before. Trafficking or serial killer.
I had a friend who lived in Yorkton at the time and he remembered seeing a girl who looked like Mekayla and was behaving suspiciously.
Because he was in the police force, he decided to follow her to see if she had been using drugs.
He saw her approach an airport and go inside, but he didn’t tell me anything that happened afterwards.
That’s what I was thinking! Someone was going to pick her up but was late and/or wanted to change the meeting location.

The way it sounds, when she figured she couldn't get a ticket or her contacts fell through, she may have attempted to hitchhike and that's where things went south.
Miss Wonnykins Honestly that makes a lot of sense. I’ve heard of a lot of stories like that but more so from the 20th century. I think if that happened, either she is dead, or maybe alive still? But 24 hours is the most crucial time for a missing person, when it’s already 48 hours the chances of them being dead is high.
Seems like someone would’ve seen her walking on the side of the road if she had. I’m guessing she met up with her “friend” and she was probably sex trafficked or something.

Helps prevent situations like this happening, if they informed the parents they could've caught her before she disappeared forever. So it's unfortunate that they didn't call the parents

@@DrFeelGoood yeah I was really surprised they weren't called especially since the school looked big. So many of thesd situations could've been prevented if schools just did roll call and called parents

Feel like she was groomed.

They were giving her directions the whole time, which would also explain her erratic behavior.... part of me wonders if they told her that they were her dad.
I agree with this. She was clearly talking to someone and received instructions. This person was very careful to not show themself on any cctv, didn't want to book hotel to leave a trace, knew how to communicate without leaving any traces. It's very suspicious
@@D5801 Yeah. A clear sign that she was given instructions by someone is how she leaves through the first exit at Wendy's, then proceeds to leave through the other exit instead
Yes! This explains why she would sit at these restaurants for so many hours and do nothing.

@@mrscreamlad6572 not True at all. The CCTV footage would take up TERABYTES if it wasn’t for the poor quality. So they’re essentially low quality in order to be stored on a hard drive
@@mrscreamlad6572 This is stupid. High resolutions just require a lot of storage, so oftentimes the lowest reasonable resolution is used. There's no dumbfuck conspiracy on this
Imagine she just wanted to escape her life... and she successfully did it and she’s looking at this video like..... got em good
Probably got trafficked in reality.
I really hope this is the truth.
Dude i hope that's right. I wish no1 did smt to her.
Sadly unlikely
I hope that’s true
watching the surveillance footage is oddly creepy. seeing everyone else enjoying themselves, not knowing a future missing person is in the exact same place as them
I honestly dont wanna know how many "future missing/crime victim" people I already walked past in my life.
Sadly, it’s pretty obvious from the footage that she’s trying to meet up with someone, but whoever it is keeps changing the plan and moving her around to make sure they can’t be traced or caught doing what they are about to do.
That stuffed full backpack isn’t exactly for shopping or going to the park for the day... she has planned on going somewhere with someone.
It’s really eerie looking at that video footage with all of that in mind. Makes you shudder.
The only wildcard is the older woman being asked for help with a hotel room. That kind-of suggests that she’s running away alone, although it could also mean she thinks she was stood up and wants to grab a place to stay for the night because she can’t go back home.
That would also explain the message for help to her friend.
Either way, it’s pretty clear this naive girl was distressed and bumbling into a very bad situation. :(
i think some guy groomed her convinced her they’re going “”on vacation”” that’s why she had a bag packed, why she wanted a hotel room, and why she was obviously cagey about everything
Another person in the comments suggested who ever she was attempting to meet(going off your theory)might have asked her to rent a room under her name so it doesn’t trace back to him. When she was unsuccessful he likely continued the goose chase. All in an effort to conceal his identity and confuse law enforcement of her activity to make it hard to track her whereabouts.
I would like to know what her family or the police thought was in her backpack
It never really said what kind of help she was seeking from her friend and it seemed as though her friend never even responded 2 ask what was wrong...That really bothered me for some reason....
@@giondennis6808 You have to remember this all happened during work hours and school(her friend was in class and likely didn’t see the text)remember she visited some friends at lunch briefly to say she was leaving then left a few minutes later. I don’t think it’s possible to guilt the friend in any way.
This is really unfortunate, my take is that she's either been kidnapped by her contact and she's dead or she wiped herself from society and she's out there but doesn't want to be found. The investigation just ending like that leads to many possibilities, but this is my opinion from hearing cases like this.
She definitely wasn't smart enough to be able to stay hidden for that long. Most likely a kidnapping
@@discardmyfriends Yeah. That's unlikely, but I agree, it's most likely a kidnapping. From the CCTV footage, it looked like she was expecting someone.
@Speez71rm It could be, if it was someone older, he/she could've planned her runaway from around that time, and with that very same person she was making several untraceable calls on the day of her disappearance.
TrollForce i feel like she probably got groomed by an older man who told her he’d elope with her and promised her money and gifts, or perhaps already bought her some that they didn’t find out about.
@@rein5348 Could be it, guess he baited her with the dream she wanted to go back o the place where she was born and she fell for it.
I don’t think a teen girl would be able to just disappear completely on her own. She wasn’t even able to book a hotel room. With her history using Kik and actively engaging with strangers, like many people have said ,she most likely was groomed by an experienced groomer who knew how to avoid detection
Yeah I totally agree with you. She did not even know how to book a hotel room on her own. Hardly a mastermind at orchestrating a disappearance.
My thoughts too. She was talking to a lot of random strangers online and through untraceable apps. She likely met up with one of these individuals and they murdered her.
I dunno about Canada, but in my country, you can't book a hotel room if you're underage. Besides, even if you could, the hotel would have your details and a copy of your passport, which would make dissapearing harder.
@@OneKnifeYeHand its the same with my country. At least here in the US, they ask for a credit card and ID to verify that you’re the person checking out the room and are 18+
That information can be requested by anyone in law enforcement if someone’s gone missing or if that person is a wanted suspect. Not easy to go missing using that route
Not just anonymous online, he must know how to avoid a lot of cctv in shop etc. Not even a trace of car or a bus she is taken. Very slick guy, very prepared at what he do.
What is mysterious to me is how no one ever thought about her hitchhiking. She only had $55. There is no way she was going out of town on a bus and expect to have any money to buy food much less a motel/hotel room for even 1 night. She hitchhiked and got into the wrong car. The trans-Canadian highway is no stranger to being hunting grounds of serial killers preying on women. There is even a stretch of Highway 16 that is called, The Highway of Tears because it had been the location of many missing and murdered women. And Highway 16 runs through Yorkton.
And nobody investigates the serial killers? Really?
When you think about it, all the people who have disappeared are somewhere in this tiny planet.
God help us all.
@CarlyKpdx He said "in" this planet, not on.
I think about how missing people are here or dead and I could've saw one when I was little and never known

I remember somebody telling me that their friend became extremely depressed from taking too much accutane. If she was overdosing on it like opioids, she was most likely not in the best mental state and it might have something to do with her self harm and desire to run away.
Personally, I think that she felt really lonely, either at her house or with her social life, most likely the latter because she said that she didn't have any friends, despite obviously having some. She probably met somebody on Kik and ran away to go live with them. I really hope she is doing okay.
Possibly
madz !! I took it, twice and I dunno how it is in America but they always ask if you’re depressed or anything because I guess it can worsen it if you already have it
I can attest that accutane made me very depressed. I just get extremely down despite my surroundings being okay. Idk it just but me in a mood.
im currently on accutane and i have depression and it definitely fucked w me the first month. kinda paranoid from this story i hope i dont go batshit lmao
I was on Accutane for about a year. Half of the year everything was totally normal. For a short time though they doubled my dose for some reason and I was super wacked-out, depressed and suicidal.

her phones pings and cameras are from public locations and can be accessed, her personal information (social media) is probably very protected for lawsuit reasons, these companies cant go around giving your information out to anyone who asks and even if they did have more information than theyre letting on such as spying on people illegally, why would they admit to it?
My opinion is: unbeknownst to her, she met a groomer online, ran away to meet up with him, and he either killed her or trafficked her. It's so sad.
I think the reason why she was sporadically "leaving" Tim Hortons was that she was checking the parking lot for a car.
I also think it's possible that she doesn't want to be found. She did have a history of self-harm, posting about loneliness, talked about traveling. She might've told her friends that her acne medication were hard drugs in an effort to impress them (she also hung out with smokers). It's possible that she was just a very lonely kid who felt dissatisfied with her life and wanted to start a new one. That's just speculation though, still doesn't explain who she kept trying to meet at Tim Hortons.
I instantly thought the same thing in regards to her checking the parking lot and the story she told her friends about the pills. Also the way she went clear back to school just to tell her friend about going on "vacation" and then leaving again. I believe she was trying to impress her friends. Kinda like a "watch what I'm gonna do" kinda thing.
Either way with all stories like this you can only HOPE that people find their way back home safe again.
@@ajaylewis322 I hope you're not making up the first part of your comment
Maybe whoever she was looking for at Tim Hortons was going to help her get away, and they were going to go off together. Or maybe she was just trying to make sure nobody caught her skipping school or something? ((Like so they wouldn't try and drag her back if she was trying to leave))

Roadent1241 I was 11, 12, 13 and (kind of) 14, and I had extremely low self esteem and just wanted to feel pretty and worth something, so I looked for attention online. Kids are stupid. It’s not like I was a full grown adult doing this. I went through things I shouldn’t have gone through.
Is it possible that she was pretending to be on the phone but wasn’t really talking to anyone and that’s why the calls were not recorded? I cannot tell you how many times I’ve pretended to be on the phone when I’m trying to avoid people in public, especially those pushy salespeople at the mall that are always trying to give you samples of makeup or offer to straighten your hair. Ladies, you know the people I’m talking about. Maybe she wasn’t really on the phone at all and was simply trying to look less conspicuous. I don’t know, just a theory.
I thought so as well. I often pretend to be on the phone when i'm on my own at restaurants & cafes just to look less awkward around people who sit in groups. It may seem weird to a lot of people that someone would do that, but it's a thing. Especially among socially awkward/ anxious people. Another theory of mine is that she could pretend to be on the phone because she felt like she was in danger. The way she keeps looking over her shoulder & seems to be so hyperaware of her surroundings is just super strange. Maybe she wasn't waiting for someone to meet her, maybe she was checking if whoever was following her gave up on waiting for her to leave that restaurant?
I dont know if socialmedia calls get picked up, but i maybe thought she called someone through instagram, snapchat or discord.
TCherice I definitely do it, I can see that for sure
I think she was on the phone and had a conversation with someone that prompted her to text her friend that she needed help. She had some kind of conversation that led to her asking for help.
TCherice I used to do that all the time when I walked home in highschool. I always felt embarrassed walking home by myself so I would pretend to talk on the phone, I even had pretend conversations so that it wasn’t obvious I wasn’t talking to anyone. Definitely an anxiety/low self esteem thing. That’s a really good point.

Sounds like she got taken. The trafficker must've made her go all over town to make sure she's not being followed, then waited until she went to the one place without cameras before luring her into a car. Seems like part of a pretty sophisticated network that knew exactly how to not leave a trace online for the feds to track. Hope they don't let this case go cold.

Human trafficking is not like that. They look for at risk girls. Girls with family and friends who will look for them are not typical targets. Why take someone that risky when there are at risk girls and boys that no one will look for? Look into actual trafficking investigations.

I believe she met someone online and she either planned to meet them, or run away with them. Of course she seemed anxious/nervous in the footage. She didn't want anyone to find out, like her family or friends. Explains why she was being so vague too. Seems like whoever she was going to see didn't show up on time (or at all for the day), so she figured she'd rent a room for the night first and continue waiting. If she was trying to rent a room online, she asked the old lady because she doesn't have a credit card and could have told the lady to book the room for her, and she'd pay the lady in cash. Lady refused her because it seemed sketchy, especially for a girl her age, to make such a request. I think Mekayla got impatient, or too nervous that she'd be seen by someone she knows, and left to go TO the person instead of waiting for them.
Now who is was supposed to meet could be anyone. Maybe a boy around her age she wanted to have a relationship with? Or a pedo who possibly groomed her, and eventually kidnapped her. She's young, insecure, and vulnerable. Grooming her would be so easy for some predators.
Or in the end, she ran away with someone at least temporarily, and decided to start a new life. No kidnapping. She just wanted to get out of town and never look back, for her own personal reasons.
Agreed, this seems extremely plausible to me
I think the adult who'd groomed her into meeting him deliberately didn't meet her at the restaurant because he didn't want any witnesses see him with her. He probably watched her from the parking lot to make sure she wasn't an undercover cop, then once he'd confirmed she was underage, contacted her and told her to book a hotel room, so it wouldn't be in his name.
the last one seems kind of plausible cause a while back my friend try to make us run away with her, I asked her why and she said it was because she was "bored"

Eventually she wants to leave home and the supposed abducter tells her they'll help and they make their elaborate plan. She starts to doubt if she wants to leave or not.
It seems her mother is pretty secretive about the father, why wouldn’t the mom tell her about her dad, if she or her mom doesn’t know who he is then she could’ve been looking for her dad, if the mom does know about the dad then why is she hiding it from mekayla. If it could be proven that they family does know who and where the dad is that could probably lead somewhere. If the father is completely unknown then all media needs to be searched to see who contacted her and if anyone claimed to be her “father” I’m willing to bet it’s something domestic that made her leave
Good tip.
Especially with statement that "there is no evidence he is her dad", and not "No, that guy is not her father".
Kind of a vague, yet telling way of speaking.
Seeming to imply...
Yes, he likely is her Father, but for one reason or another, she has refused to acknowledge it as fact...
I mean, they took DNA, and still he fervently posts about her as her Father...
I imagine had the DNA test come back as false, he would have been made to stop, as it could be a form of continued harassment in a way...
I think it's more of her having daddy issues and had a falling out with her mom and decided to run away alone or with some guy she met online
This sounds spot on. Females that grow up without a father always have a lot of issues. It's a psychologically proven thing. Plus her mom being so secretive about her dad is weird. I honestly wouldn't rule out some creep contacting her and pretending to be her dad. Then she leaves to go live with him and it took a turn for the worst.
epic “females”? You mean girls/women. And yeah it’s true. It’s also a proven fact when it comes to young boys who grow up without a mother. They also develop psychological issues.
I bet she was meeting someone to run away with. When they didn’t show up she decided to leave herself. Something terrible happened in the process
Erica Whitney Johnson-Carmouche yeah this is what I agree with the most. She clearly wanted to leave, whether that be by bus, a ride, hitch hiking, etc. she seemed determined to leave no matter what and I think she tried to. Hopefully she’s still alive and doesn’t want to be found but it seems unlikely that no one would have seen her unless she just slipped through the cracks.
I think someone picked her up with the car after she realized that buying a bus ticket won't work (by 5pm both school and her violin lesson were over, so someone would've found her quick if she was still in town by that time)
I agree . It really seems like this girl thought she was running away. Weather she ran right into human trafficking or a crazy person's basement we don't know
Guy in dark clothing at Wendy's is, as many have said, definitely a bit suspicious. Doesn't appear to know the people he talks to, looks at Mekayla, but above all else...

I think she was telling her friends because she believed whoever she was meeting was taking her on a vacation a real one and she wanted to have that teenage girl moment of look guys in doing something cool
I would hope the authorities investigated her League of Legends friend list as well as her social media.
A World of Warcraft friend of mine recently married her husband as a fellow player after long distance dating for years, when he moved cross country for her.
Those kinds of online relationships do exist, for better or for worse. This video only mentioned her LoL account once, then left it at that. I hope they didn't pass it off as "just a dumb video game".
Email RIOT
you know what let me tweet riot and AWS infosec
just a thought...can you marry someone who is NOT you husband??? Assuming you are not a female...
Many moons ago I was on a greyhound going from Kamloops BC back to Calgary. The girl I sat next to was coming from Sam Francisco to Calgary to get married to a guy she met on world of Warcraft. I told her she is crazy to do something so risky like that. She said she normally agrees with me but she met him in real life when he visited her in San Fran. I still thought it was odd and just told her to be careful. Hopefully the two of them are happy together still.
But you are definately right. Keep an eye on those in game friends. Maybe one may know more.
@@AwfulDog1 technically one isn't a wife or husband till after marriage.
My Father disappeared 14 years ago when he didn't come home from work. Turns out he left for another family. We plan to reunite but my only question is why TF didn't he take me with him.
Because it would be a parental kidnapping
I don't know your circumstances but maybe he thought you'd be happier there.
Your answer will come once you two reunite.
bacon froyo if he also lived with his mom, and his dad up and left and took him with him, then yea, that is considered kidnapping or something of the sorts
Thats some heavy stuff for a random comment section dude
If I was in the restaurant and saw this girl that keeps coming back in and leaving I'd think "what the heck is she doing!?"
Did anybody else get this strange strong wave of sadness overtake them like a minute into the Tim Horton's footage?
Huh. Yeah. I actually did. :/
Thought i was the only one...
I havent watched the video yet but Jesus.
Yeah, especially after hearing about her self-harming and the Instagram bio that just said "goodbye"
I will say now to add on to my original comment: A big part of me reacting that way may be from seeing an ordinary community from back then, this footage happened at the one time I wasn't depressed and despised the world so much, especially compared to now. However at the sametime seeing in that normal setting a seemingly innocent and nice person be suddenly put into this horrifying situation of who knows what and looking around with a paranoid vibe and seeming desperate rather than being at school and with her friends just makes me so glum. The atmosphere Jorge creates while showing the unsolved case adds to it.
it seemed to me like she was waiting to be picked up in the wendys but they never came. so she went to get the bus. so it seems like she voluntarily left, even if she was later kidnapped or whatever.
when she told her friend "help" maybe she would tell her that someone was going to pick her up but now she needs either a place to stay or a way to get there. she figured she'd stay in a hotel or go by bus.
maybe she wanted a room for the night so she'd have a place to stay without going back home (she had already said shed leave that day) and they'd pick her up the next day. she didnt get any help, apparently, so she went herself by bus.
maybe she wanted the old lady to do the transaction so she wouldnt appear in the recipe or whatever.
still just looks like she is leaving for a trip, leaving no trace. i could probably try the same thing and look weird in the footage.
the fact that no other clue came after is the problem: she doesnt seem that weird from the footage or maybe chats to not use social media ever again. so kidnapping is the most likely answer.
those people who claim have met a nice girl and had a nice chat dont seem that likely then, since its likely shed have a normal life and kept using the internet.
sounds like someone she was talking to online promised to pick her up and take her way to whatever fantasy they sold her. She bought it, but even though they coached her in using a burner phone, they thought she was smart enough to meet in an area with no video, when they realized she almost screwed them there, they at first thought of just ghosting her but after a while ( in the mean time she was just going to go it alone. hence the asking about a hotel.) They called her back and told her where to meet them.
If she said she'd leave that day, why would her grandma expect to pick her up from school? And why would she "miss" violin practice? Most likely didn't tell anyone at home about it.
@@TheHset i meant that thats what she told her friends; while telling her family nothing. however, that also doesnt make much sense.
if she is leaving, why do it in the middle of the semester, apparently?
itd make more sense if she just didnt tell anyone. i thought of it like a lie about where she was going during break.
You have to be 18 in Saskatchewan to purchase a hotel room. She was most likely asking the lady to purchase one for her because she couldn’t herself.
@@otakugirl1385 oh thanks, i had no idea. i figured shed just use airbnb, actually.
Another "[practically vanished into thin air" mystery. Reminds me of the Andrew Gosden case. Very chilling, this could happen to anyone. Stay safe out there guys. I hope one day Mekayla is found, safe and sound.

@@montinaladine3264 well you're certainly a buzzkill
Its just sad :(
The person who was instructing her on the phone definitely knew where in that area there were little to no cameras because they didn’t show up at any point to take her away until she was out of sight of any cameras.
If they also new that restaurant had two exits, it was probably a local.
If he knew the area he would’ve already known if it had cameras. Therefore he would’ve chosen a different place to start with.
Exactly.
@Diss Raps Or, the caller was part of a large network of traffickers (think Epstein type stuff), that could circumvent regular communication tracking etc, through connections.

Did anyone else notice that guy who walked in after her? He definitely looked over at her, looked like he knew her or was gonna talk to her but then went up to that table of older gentlemen instead. Didn't look like they knew him. Then he just seems to have left after. He seemed weird to me.

How is she leaving and going back to the school so easily?
Xross Productions right what kinda of non inner city school is this.
I've done it multiple times. It's really not that hard.
Xross Productions walk out a less guarded door, walk back in?
@@areallybadheadache I live in Canada, and unless there's an event going on, there aren't ever any guards at school.
Xross Productions I kno back when I was in school it was easy to go an come as I pleased due to my school being so big (it was 4 buildings in total) but in live in USA - this case is in CANADA - this is gonna be a weird reference but I used to watch joana ceddia (a RUclipsr) on youtube and she would leave school everyday to go home for lunch - so maybe coming and going in Canada is easier?? Just a thought not facts.
She could be stuck in a basement somewhere like those girls were for like ten years! scary thought
Likely trafficked. Happens a lot in Canada.
Krista Lovesyou i didnt know that is common
@Megan G WHAT Details!!!
@Megan G care to explain?
@Megan G I don't know. People on the internet joke about a lot of things they probably shouldn't. I will assume you have good intentions though, her mom Paula Bali is on Facebook. Contact her with any info you might have if the rcmp hasn't been helpful (which they are often not)
Mekayla’s bank account hasn’t used since she disappeared on Tuesday 12th April 2016 and that’s what concerns me the most about the whole case. If Mekayla is still alive why hasn’t Mekayla accessed her bank account or at very least contacted the police herself to tell them that she is safe and just don’t want to come home? I really hope that Mekayla is still alive that she will contact police herself and tell them that she is safe but the police wouldn’t be able to tell her family her location if Mekayla doesn’t want that.
If you’re trafficked in a human trafficking ring, I’d assume they don’t let you have free access to a smart phone or money, that’s how they would have control over you.
@@RedxRiot I do hope and pray that Mekayla is still alive and that she does contact the police herself to tell them that she is safe.
Apparently in snapchat she opened a message from her friend, makes me believe shes out there somewhere
That was my thought
If the account hasn't been touched since her disappearance it's highly unlikely that she's still alive
If you want to disappear, you're obviously not gonna touch your bank account, it doesn't even sound like she had much on their anyway.
Honestly there's probably only 4things that could've happened: death, human trafficking, on the streets on drugs now, or she's living her life doing well
Well duh, the point is figuring out which it is.
I honestly don't believe that she is dead. I think she was trafficked or just ran away with some guy she connected with on one of her social media accounts.
I like to think she's happy she doesn't deserve to be sad 🙂🙃
I really hope she just ran away.....
@@z6lda me too
It’s sad that girl is lost but have you heard of our sponsor dashlane
Hahahaha!
😂😂
People gotta eat 😂
Lmao forreal
And Dashlane is way overpriced.
She followed someone’s directions on the phone for her escape. Everytime she looks on the phone, she either goes out or looks out. She knew there are cameras watching and she had to be careful as told by her by this person on her phone.
That’s also possible. But look at her again in some clips. She puts her phone to her ear, obviously calling someone. It’s therefore likely I think that she is messaging with the person on the phone. It could also be likely they were chatting about booking hotels too which supports her asking the old lady about hotels.
Another detail that hasn’t been clear is the backpack. Is it even hers? It wasn’t specified whether it belonged to her in this video
All the video says is that she usually carried a purse, and not a backpack.
I feel like she met someone online, maybe even in league of legends. I've always said that online relationships are a dangerous thing, because you never truly know someone unless you've met them. And that's where the danger comes in. Sometimes the moment you realize someone isn't who they said they'd be, is already too late in these scenario's.
My theory is, she met someone online who made her walk around and do all these things (while calling through and app so it won't show in the call logs). He made sure she wasn't followed and just observed her from a distance, maybe even made her walk around to make sure she was tired and couldn't resist. Then when it was time he made her walk to a place without camera's, and that's when she realized she was in big trouble, but it was already too late.
The "I need help" to her friend 100% was a call for help because she might have have a suspicious after the guy kept making her wait and kept making her walk around. And the message after "nevermind, i figured it out" sealed her fate, because she probably told herself "Stop thinking so negative, it's fine".
100 percent agree. I think he was watching her from a nearby location. I don't think he went anywhere near her at the restaurant. He may have even catfished her, or was wearing clothing that hid his identity so she wouldn't recognize him. Her texting her friend was probably like, her doubting the situation and trying to get her friends POV.
It's possible he's familiar with the area. Her trying to get cash could have been some attempt to get funds to meet up with him.Maybe he was somewhere enjoying watching her pacing.
I mean let’s be real red flags are easy to spot and she obviously ignored many. Her stupidity doesn’t make it any less tragic tho
Even if she left to “start a new life” it’s still very unsafe for a young girl to try and do. Which sadly means to me she could have still met with foul play.
paula thousands and thousands of teenagers run away for various reasons every year, there definitely doesn’t need to be a guy involved for that to happen. I tried to run away myself when I was 16 because my home was very abusive at the time and I just wanted to get away from everything.
@@annie_xo Exactly. im 18 now and my fucking parents still fight with each other constantly, im about to lose my mind from the anxiety that have developed all these years... im actually considering of just running away, find a job somewhere else far from home and rent an apartment or something. This girl Mekayla (but seriously tho what kind of spelling is that) probably had the same dissatisfaction in life that she just decided to run away with someone whom she was contacting during the day she went missing and just didn't gave a f
Machi Giceb I feel you, I moved out immediately when I was 18 and my mental health improved so much from getting away from my home situation, I was in a very bad state mentally. I’m 26 now and doing good these days, managed to mend my relationship with my mom but I’m so glad to have it be on my terms. Hang in there, stay safe and focus on what you need to do to help yourself. I wish you all the best, I know exactly how hard it is but things can and will get better ❤️
paula so am I, I honestly think the most common reason to run away as a teenager is an abusive home situation.
she seemed like she had depression, from her introverted personality her latest post on insta that said she had no friends and wanted to meet with someone the bio on her second Instagram account that said "Goodbye" and her past history with self harm those do match up to that theory a lot. I do hope she didn't commit suicide and she's okay now but since it has been 4 years since she has disappeared idk if that is likely. and I do hope they get closure for this sad situation cuz this is heartbreaking. :( only time will tell..
Me too I think she either dropped off the grid or committed suicide
Not due to depression just cuz for no necessary reason
She probably read a cosmic religious text,like Cthulhu or something and when I’m search of such a place,she probably read about a lot of things like journal sandbox everything increases her knowledge allowing her to throw off the police
They should go through her belongings or books she read to through and consult psychologists or such that know about those things
Daniel Hewing the way she was acting on camera when spotted at the restaurant seems more like she was waiting on somebody not to mention the multiple untraceable calls I feel like if someone wanted to go off the grid or just commit suicide she would have just disappeared the moment she left school an not pop up in multiple places more then likely she met someone online probably was offered money, gifts an promises of taking care of her being that she was young an people who knew her said she was pretty naive it’s not hard to imagine some older person with bad intentions convincing her of leaving with them
I dont think she committed suicide because who would pack their things and ask when the bus will arive with the intention of killing themselves.
I have no friends too and I hope I wouldn't ended up being depressed.
why would she bring a backpack if she was going to commit suicide?
I’m from Regina. This case has been big in Saskatchewan. There’s still a reward for finding her. Hope she’s found and okay.
reward
God, how horrible. I did the DUMBEST things when I was a teenager and met up with several strangers from online. I’m so so blessed to be alive and safe. This poor baby is probably long gone because some sicko took advantage of her vulnerability.
Sameee
Unfortunate situation
She is a runaway
Worst case scenario: she was groomed by an older man, and he got her.
Best case scenario: she was a depressed teenager who ran away and is living her best life somewhere in a big city.
Unfortunately it's probably the first one, but I hope its the second.
I would like it to be the best-case scenario but why was she looking around like she was trying to find someone? If I was going to run away I wouldn't go to a restaurant and hang I would just go you know. I think she planned to run away with someone else online...think about it. She's just 16 and needs someone else to run away with.
a lot of people do the second one. harder to do at that age though you bc any do anything without an adults permission...
Unfortunately, your "worst" case scenario is lacking imagination.
More likely I think it was a suicide or something of the sorts.
Worst worst case scenario human trafficking

I believe with my whole heart KIK should be taken down. The platform has done more bad than good and everyone knows that. Once you mentioned KIK my heart dropped. I knew automatically anyone involved in her disappearance wouldnt be identified.

Unfortunately this is what human trafficking looks like. It’s a huge problem. The signs are all there. The only “sightings” anyone is going to see of her is if they are engaging in the aforementioned activity. She’s either dead or leading a terrible life being forced to do terrible things. This is why parents need to monitor their child’s internet activities.
No, not monitor, but teach them how to protect themselves.
@red cherry yeah, i agree with that.
Monitoring is definitely essential in being an active parent. Most children(especially teens)go through the phase where they’re invincible and know everything. Reading through every single message? No. But making sure no one is telling them their parent doesn’t love them and they can take care of them? Yes. That’s the problem with social media is how easy access it’s given to predators to manipulate and isolate children that are already vulnerable and likely lack attention at home.
no offense but human trafficking is wildly exaggerated by the right wing media, and it occurs mainly in developing countries for transportation to developed countries, not the other way around, so it's not really what human trafficking looks like lol
it looks like grooming or abduction, not trafficking
I am so sure she was making plans to meet someone. Her body language suggests that it's someone she never told anyone about, someone whose identity she wanted to keep private. She was somewhat unhappy in her personal life and this "person" gave her some purpose, so, as a young, naive child she didn't see that there maybe something sinister going on, as there are traffickers and groomers who are experts at their field. I can see this as I see myself in her at 16, I displayed the same body language and behaviour, and i was talking to someone much older. He also made me move to different places in order to avoid detection, and i didnt think much of it....Unfortunately, I don't think it ended well for her, she was either sold into trafficking or is no longer alive, she was disposed off after she vanished.

I think she was meeting up with someone who she met online and met with foul play. I don’t believe she’s alive anymore unless she is living in another country. Very sad case. I’m curious to know what her home life was like and why she seemed to desperate to get away.
It’s so unsettling to watch her on the cctv in Tim Horton’s surrounded by people who have no idea that they could save her from being a missing person
What could they have done? You can't hold someone down, that's illegal. You can't talk someone out of it if they're determined to go through with it. All you can do is smile and inform the police, but they wont do anything until she's actually missing. I believe it's called "Report missing after 36-72 hours".

Why does every time something bad happens it always starts with “didn’t take her seriously” 🤦🏽♂️. Whoever didn’t listen, let her down.
That doesn't mean that they thought she lied, perhaps they didn't care.
Isaac Rodriguez It's very unlikely high school students take it serious when their classmate says their going to vacation to a city out of the blue. I don't blame them.
It was teachers that didn’t take her seriously too. Besides that, teachers need to work on being someone students can confide in. So many people have a tough high school experience at it’s crucial adults stay actively involved especially because kids are most impressionable at this age. Just really think about how listened to one adult to make her go missing when that one adult could have been a mentor at the school instead. All i’m saying.
In middle school we had two teachers who were being inappropriate with young girls in the class. There was one specific teacher we reported several times (literally all the girls in class reported this man) The school did nothing. I’m older than this girl, but it’s only been a recent thing where people could even openly discuss this type of behavior from adults. Even up into the early 2000s it really wasn’t something you discussed and if you did, most of the times it was just brushed off.
At least it was with any experience I’ve ever had or with anyone I knew at the time.
It is truely horrifying how many people are willing to look the other way in general. Doesn’t matter if I t’s self harm, domestic abuse, grooming, ect. Indifference, fear, apathy, or even acceptance from others as just the “norm”. If no ones discussing these things, but it’s happening to tons of people (and it always was), people just think “this must just be normal”
As an adult I know now none of the grooming or abuse is normal and that there are people who care, but as a child/young girl/young woman, abuse is suffocating.
100% she was instructed to do every bit of activities here, especially during the cafe timeline. She's instructed to go through back exit, to sit there for a while, to go out and then go back in again, and to book a hotel room. Each activities signify whoever talks to her is actually nearby or locals who know the area.
She was instructed to move around a bit to check whether she's alone or not. She was looking around to actually check whether there's someone who knows her (probably the question is "do you know anyone in that cafe?"). She chats that "she need help" before booking a hotel room because she thought that she could stay for a while in her friends house (since she cant book a hotel room) before actually going out.
This is either a trafficking ring or a creepy groomer which is not a stranger to KiK.
Interesting theory, it really looked like someone gave her orders what to do.
You can't "groom" someone who's of the age of consent, which is 16 in Saskatchewan.
The trusting approach of the old lady at Tim Hortons is what gives away what happened. She approached somebody. Probably asked for a ride. She got the ride.
It sounds like she was trying to run away but you know how it goes eventually you come back to your parents but as you said she definitely "got the ride"
Yeah you probably right.
She asked the lady if she could help her get a hotel room.
My theory: She wasn’t happy with her life, so she turned to social media for attention and friends. She finally met someone with long term interests, and she tried to meet them. They didn’t show, so she tried running away her self, and probably hitchhiked and either got murdered or, successfully ran away.
I think that's what happened but I wonder why she was so secretive about him? Why did she make up lies? Why did she want a hotel booked under someones name?
you are idiot and naive just like her.
Big Pogger yeah me too, she could be living life on her own or either dead. i mean it’s been 4 years, she could come back idk she’d be 20.
Gurls Talents How so?
I believe the robot cannibals got her and used giant tin foil sky lasers to cause giant earthquakes covering up there tracks, its big brain time boys

Right? I felt the same way. Part of my family lives In yorkton. I pray she’s found alive
I've been in regina for about 5 ish years now and never heard of this case. Regina is getting really bad. It's one of the top places for human trafficking. Actual attempts to abduct people are happened in broad daylight. Like wtf?!
I’m a victim of grooming so I’m pretty sure this is what happened to her. The reason that none of her calls were able to be traced is because she likely called the person through Snapchat or something like that. Groomers love to use those apps because the messages disappear after a certain time frame and nothing is traceable. Kik is also commonly used because it’s mostly anonymous. I’m pretty sure whoever was on the phone with her convinced her to come live with him or visit (yes, groomers often do this) because she was naive, shy, had low self esteem, and was likely depressed. The groomer used this to his advantage and manipulated her. There’s also a high chance that foul play was involved. Such a sad case.
Everything on snapchat is recorded you dummy
Sure you were, buddy. Sure you were. Way to make this story that has nothing to do with you about yourself though.
☝🏾🤨 smh
Yes
Are people really stupid enough to meet up with a stranger online?
the fact that she was anxiously looking around and asking strangers/people she knows(despite saying she has no friends in real life) just sets off so many red flags for me that her mental health as clouding her vision. whatever she was trying to do seems incredibly like something she had been longing for for a long time but never got around to putting research into and the result was someone taking advantage of her weaknesses. with the information the police withheld and the hope the family is trying to keep, it painfully seems like the people on the inside are aware of just how low the possibility of her being alive is...
The thing is she did have friends, the video mentions she was quite popular
She met a guy online and he wasn’t as nice as he presented himself to her.
That’s the most likely explanation.
probably
Yeaup
Hopefully she's still alive, just strung out or something.. Poor dumb kid
this is what i thought too
@Ramona Flowers i spent 15 yrs on heroin. I was lucky enough to stop and become a healthcare engineer. What's your contribution to society? What's your story that earns you the right to judge people like me? You better answer me.
As dark as this sounds, I seriously doubt she's still alive...

I am so grateful my parents hammered into my brain just how dangerous talking to randos and promising to meet up irl really is. They didn't hold anything back, they showed me all the stories of these kinds of cases and it scared me a bit, but it was for good reason. A teenager is still a kid for a reason, they THINK they know better, but they really don't, AT ALL.
I feel very bad for the family of this poor girl, and of course her as well. I just hope a conclusion is reached someday just to give peace.
TRUEEE my school showed us a video of a girl that got MURDERED WITH A ROCK in the woods when she tried to run from a groomer's house
Yeah her not saying to anyone where she was going is a huge red flag that she had bad parenting specially that she's a girl who's more vulnerable to these kinds of attacks.
I mean, I figured all this stuff out myself pretty fast in 1999. >__>
It always baffles me how internet-illiterate so many people are.
Sounds like you have great parents and I so agree about your parents talking to you religiously about abductions, human trafficking and so on. Kids need to know about this kind of stuff. Parent's have to be "real" with theirs kids.
Yeah but these kinds of things can happen to adults as well so if you did wanna meet isn’t it better to idk meet in a place where you know there are cameras and how should I say this know who you are meeting first instead of not knowing how they look like
All we need to know is.. how was her relationship with her mum thats the big piece
I have my suspicion that the mother had an indirect role in her disappearance.
However, it could lead to two posibilities.
Either she successfully ran away and just now changed her identity and appearance, or her hitchhiking attempt led to a kidnapping, and possibly sent to trafficking.
@@Royalname31 I thought of this too. Specially if she went to west coast.
Yeah that was not talked about and is a missing piece that would have helped to know about
The cops are worthless in that Podunk town and federal authorities won't be pressured by incompetent cops who basically are codependent with certain criminals. You see if there are certain crimes unsolved you will never look at the police's lack of ethics, effort and know how.
@Lynsey h you think she is locked in someone's basement? Or she doesn't know better and is with a predator?
I don't think she just "wanted to get away." She was a child with very little to no means of realistically supporting herself in a new place. Not to mention she had family, and no mentions of a bad home life.
She maybe wanted to run away, but in all likelihood would've turned up home soon again afterwards like most teen runaways do
Either she was fooled by an online predator and subsequently kidnapped, or she DID want to leave home but was kidnapped before she could safely return.
Either way, unfortunately, I don't think the chances of her still being alive are very high....
I'm pretty sure she ran away
Unfortunately the motive to her disappearance is inside whatever online conversations the police can’t get a hold of.
No mention of bad home life? Really? I find that doubtful somehow, because how come that she was apparently depressed, did self-harm, and posted in her social media that she feels alone and wanted to have a friend? That's def more than a tell tale sign that she's having some sensitive issues at home. She was raised by her mom, a single parent right? Was there a mention of her father? Is he still alive, dead or something? It actually crossed my mind that what if she was trying to find his dad but for some reason her mom won't allow her to? Maybe someone have found her contacts or something and decided to introduce themselves as her dad, I mean that could be possible right?
Edit: okay I might have quickly headed to the comments lmao. Her missing father was indeed mentioned but idk, so many possibilities with this case, what if those suspected people were lying y'know ?
@Godot Someone who had a bad home life would also be much more vulnerable and likely to trust someone online, especially if that person promised a better life if she went to be with them. I hope that's not what happened, but it's a possibility that can't be ignored.
I don't normally say this but...
Good. She had a great life, friends, and seemed to be liked. She threw that all away
I’m sorry but as a Canadian your pronunciation of Regina and Saskatchewan made me crazy.
Horrific
