@@sundaywhite3944 Stop mining, you will dig a big hole.
Stop blaming the parents. They were in a campground not in the wilderness. It was 1973, the life was very different. The kids slept together.
Please blame the perpetrators.
Amen!
The parents should have slept outside and the kids inside. Shades of Madeline McCann.
@@carolmccartney7607 Psssh. Stop victim shaming. This was before true crime shows, before CSI and SVU, before know-it-alls on the internet. No one imagined a child could be stolen from a tent in the middle of a camping trip because it had never happened before.
@@waypay1They made themselves victims by not safeguarding their kids. There were kidnappings way before 1973--Lindbergh baby, 1932; Beverly Potts in Cleveland late 40's or so. Maybe one or two adults could have thought forward a little and joined the kids outside. If you need the comforts of home re: sleeping arrangements, stay home. If we don't protect our kids, who will?
@Nica Neither would I. You can't say what you'd have done in 1973 though. Don't pretend you'd have been more omniscient than anyone else in 1973 just because you live in 2021. 🤦
Because of this story, when my daughter was little my husband had her sleep in between us in the tent.
My dad used to put a bell on the zip of mine and my sisters pods
I thought this was a new episode as it was posted a week ago, but it most certainly is not
Same here @saintcatherine I was so careful I never let her out of my sight! Hotels scary too.
@@Deryn-Emily that's only useful if the abductor goes in that way. Tents are easy to cut open. Another reason not to camp out in a tent.
@@Deryn-Emily sadly a knife would get past that. In the UK quite a number of years ago now, a couple of kids asked if they could sleep in the tent in the garden. It was in the countryside, very low crime area. One of the kids ( I cannot remember if it was s boy or girl) was taken and murdered. What that poor family must have / still are going through
That level of forgiveness is super human. I would not have that in me.
And me definitely not
Man I strive to be that but I just can’t
I know the family regretted this trip for the rest of their life! Such a shame that this one incident changed and ruined their whole lives. People are truly deranged and evil. I pray they all found peace.
Truly beautiful and humane comment
That's all I'm thinking watching it...How horrible to think about how excited they were for this trip and then it was a devastating event😔 I feel so bad for the family💔
A lot of us had an incident in our past that ruined our lives. This was especially awful.
It’s fucked up my son 5 and still sleeps with me
It happened in uk,little girl camping with cousins in her uncles garden, she was found dead on a nearby beach shed been raped and strangled.
Dang the real hero here is that rancher detecting those somewhat obscure details and raising the alarm.. that helped with the ultimate break in the case
He got stuck with the bill too.
The act of slipping a girl out of a tent while everyone sleeps sounds like something out of one of the Bros.Grimm's lesser-known stories. Truly the stuff of nightmares!
Remember the story of Azaria Chamberland in Australia. The dingo went into the kids tent and never woke the other kids up. This bloke was an animal too, just like a dingo is.
@@Pauline-nj9fv Yes! Everybody made fun of the dingo story, but it turned out to be true.
Agree
I've been searching for this story! I first heard it years ago. I grew up in northwest Montana and this story scared the bujeebers out of me!! I've lived my whole life here in MT and now live just an hour from this campsight. This was one of the stories that shaped how I hyper diligently kept my kids on my "mom radar"!!!
*Bad Things OnLy HaPPen to those who have Rejected Lord Jesus!!!*
Where was this campsite?
When I was a kid and we went camping, my mom always had me sleep in her tent with her. My step dad didn't like it but my mom didn't care. She just wanted to make sure I was safe .
Great mom!
That is a great mother.
Your stepdad sounds like a tool 😒 but Mom sounds amazing 🥲
What a great mom you have, remember to thank her for protecting you, she chooses to protect you over what her new husband says, I will do the same thing for my child too
@@leahvon5905 Thank you. My mom is now passed :( I miss her everyday. Yes, do the same with your beautiful children!
"This never happens here." It happens everywhere.
Truth!
Exactly. Anywhere there are humans.
you are absolutely right the evil is just about everywhere.
Maybe except for the ocean
It never happens til it happens
Good grief, she kept the guy on the phone for an hour and still no trace! He gets put under surveillance....and he SLIPS AWAY!!!
So they predicted he would call on the anniversaries but they weren’t prepped and ready on BOTH occasions?!!! Couldn’t get over it.
This guy is mentally ill and able to elude top authorities for years. Nothing has changed. There are no improvements this day and age. If anything, the human population has dumbed down.
Technology was a lot more primitive back then
These shows always say something like “violent crimes don’t happen here” and then proceed to tell you about an unsolved, violent murder that did in fact happen here.
As a child, i never imagined that all of the real monsters in the world would be humans.

Thank you Marion.
I read the other day
"Humans ARE the Only Mammals with Evil Intent"
@@sundaywhite3944 pretty much true.
@@sundaywhite3944 very true! Animals only kill for survival and protecting their young!! Never malicious intent
That Mother was made from freaking titanium…the way she was able to take that torture for YEARS and then shake his hand?! FORGIVE HIM?!! Her soul is too precious for this planet. She quite literally killed him with kindness. 💔
Hats off to the mother, she did so much to get her little girl back home safe. Back in the 70s things like this were not common and you didnt watch your kids 24/7. I grew up in the 80s and it was nothing for us to go off walking for hours, mum would say "be back for tea and take the dog with you" and that was it, off we'd go
Same here for me in the UK
Similiar in the early 90s for me but we did have issues with abductions 3 times Mum never allowed us to go alone was always driven to the school gate.
yeah look at police, criminal slipped thru their hands twice !
Today is the day of the pervs we are givin knives for the most part but seems to get better at least..we have all of the tools to go by the book it's not a choice for the parents to be wo ah weapon
I'd play in the woods by myself alot. Kinda sketchy looking back at it now.
Wisconsin girl here; the woods were our thing growing up. But my father never stopped stressing the dangers, from wandering away from camp at night to setting up in clear areas without deadfall, and we were warned nearly hourly of the terrain and the animals and the weather. This was in the 60s and 70s and apart from nature, the woods were a safe place - never would anyone for a moment have thought of serial killers.
It’s wild how much communication and social media have changed social norms. I am just old enough to remember a time when I would just tell my mom I’m leaving, be gone for 6 hrs, have no way to contact home, and be back by dark. Unfathomable today, but just an average Saturday in the mid-90’s.
As a mother I don’t think I could hold in my rage if I ever met the person that murdered my child. It would break me. That poor family.
As a father I feel the very same
I lost my daughter and only child to an illness. The grief I have for her so immense & terrible that I can’t even begin to begin to imagine if something like this happened to her.
*Bad Things OnLy HaPPen to those who have Rejected Lord Jesus!!!*
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry you went through the loss of your only child.
@@Justin.Martyr it's people like you who cause people to turn away from Jesus. YOU need to repent and show love and compassion.
@@Justin.Martyr what a bunch of rubbish!!!!!!
I'm so lucky to have enjoyed a safe full childhood
Thank you God
Comments like this make me angry. Not at you though..it makes me mad at God. If you are thankful to him for a good childhood..am I supposed to be angry at him for a horrific one?? So confusing.
@@truthhurts63 we all go through horrible, horrific moment's, it is the free will we get when we are born.
We also have the gift to be better, or bitter. Again our free will.
I had a beautiful childhood, less a narcissistic one and only sibling, then my best friend was murdered, when I was 29 years young. Life is beautiful and ugly, all at the same time. Choose to be, if you can, thankful for all the good.
Easier said than done, but if we can do it, everyone can 💝
@@AlexaCBrown
Exactly. As the Buddhists say, "there is suffering". Everyone suffers in this lifetime. We must take care not to become the suffering, nothing is permanent, everything passes as long as you don't take it with you. Each moment is completely new.
Know what I mean?
@@chino3796 yes💝
@@truthhurts63 What makes you think there are any gods ? Even if there is one, what is its moral character to be in a position of being able to prevent this but not doing so ? Your moral character is much better than any god's.

*I want the WorLd to Know, that I HATE SOD O Mites!!!*
@@Justin.Martyr well we know that's not true, a bit of false witnessing there. Bad things happen to pretty much everyone. For some having Jesus in their lives helps them through the bad times

@@moodrider*
My youngest and only daughter is almost 7. I couldn't imagine. I think I'd go insane.
Mines almost 7 and I couldn't imagine either.
My boys 12 I never keep my eyes off except school has a phone for safety I couldn't imagine either 😪
My six kids are 27 to 37 and four grandkids are 5 to 12, and I can’t even imagine the horror.
Of course! Bad things happen to good people all the time! That’s life!
I have a 6 year old daughter also. I am the same way, don’t know how I would go on. This seems like hell on earth. I’m definitely an over protective mom after watching to many of these shows.
I'm from Montana. The case that haunts me the most is the missing girl, Nyleen Marshall. She disappeared in the very spot I grew up. I was always keenly aware of her disappearance and always wondered what happened. There was so many different possibilities, including mafia involvement and a payoff to a stepdad. The mother got a tip that the daughter was spotted in Mexico. She went to go try to confirm this and find her daughter, but was murdered in Mexico and never made it home. Such a bizarre case.
Damn 😥
I don't remember hearing about this case before. I'll have to look into it.
*WeLL . . . IF she was Murdered in Mexico, then I Guess she Never made it Home!!!*
@@MaryTheresa1986*Wut DID you FIND????*
Holy shit! That's terrible
Thank you to all who helped. Predominantly, thank you to the mother who never gave up or blew her own cover for her personal emotions in regards to her daughter. She had a goal and it was to catch him. She did that!!!!!!! A mother's 💕 love is unimaginable and immeasurable.
Thank you to all the perfect parents with 20/20 hindsight that are gracing us with their knowledge and opinions.
Thank u! U said it all:)
@@melissaholmberg3043 Your historical knowledge about the persecution of parents is non existent.
Right, disparage parents, they are no good, and as in the Lenin/Stalin Marxist utopia, kids may be assigned to the State at any time, mostly when the parents are arrested by quota and sent to the slave camps.
No wonder he hanged himself in the prison cell after confessing he knew what awaited him in the upcoming trial.
His Evil Azz WSNT worried about "trial" when he Harmed that Baby
Why CLDNT he have Hanged himself when he 1st KNEW he was a monster???
The trial would have been nothing compared to the eternity in Hell awaiting him in his afterlife.
@@myothernameisnana7188 I totally agree with your comment.
@@sundaywhite3944 EXACTLY 💯
Coward!!!!
Such a sad and horrible case. That poor child must have been terrified. I'm glad she hugged her mom before she went to sleep. Her mother was very strong and clearly spiritual.
I slept in a tent in the front yard when I was a kid. It was a different time
Haha I brought my mattress in the front yard and put signs on trees to keep quite. I look back at that now and wonder wtf was wrong with my parents. It was a different time true. Kids can’t even walk home from school alone nowadays..sad
It wasn't a different time. People are still the same. They still do the same horrible things to men, women, and children. The only thing that's "different" is that now we have more data for tracking individuals who do this kind of stuff. Kids got snatched off the street walking to and from school plenty in "the good ol' days".
@@christinaleffel4233 Nothing was wrong with your parents. Just a different culture where safety vs some specific (and widely exaggerated) dangers wasn't put above any other consideration. I was raised in the countryside with a lot of autonomy (like other children), and indeed it's sad that children are nowadays under constant surveillance, and are given zero freedom or autonomy. It's not because it's the current cultural view that it's objectively better.
@@christinaleffel4233 same
Yes it was!
People out there only watched and wait until you let your guard down,always remember
never heard something more true than this !! in other words there are always predators lurking in the dark..!
@@rodicapopescu2038 and at daylight, as well... It's so horrific.
Stay safe everyone, always be cautious. Have fun, but never let your guard down.
Exactly. There’s a lot of people that are opportunists waiting for the right moment
Man so true! I have always been opposed to tent camping. Too much to risk. People are sick out there in this world. My God it’s not only camping but going in public anywhere today. For this reason we the American people should be able to open carry weapons. We the American people NEED to protect ourselves and others
Damn.... the world is full of creepy people everywhere
Not just creepy…EVIL!
But at least they are not the majority.
One of the many reasons I never liked tent camping.
In the 70s you woke up on a day without school and your parents told you get out of the house and go play. It was also that way in the 80s. The parents did everything they could do to protect their daughter. I pray they can find consolation in that.
I can’t imagine what the parents went through
A horrible thing to happen to a little girl and the family of that little girl
There are so many demons out there
*But . . . Bad Things OnLy HaPPen to Those who Reject Lord Jesus!!!!*
Shut up.
@@Justin.Martyr not true
@@Justin.Martyr So bad things never happen to you?
Such A strong mother! I can’t even begin to imagine & how she kept her composure on phone calls from that evil predator I will never know because I would have lost it! God Bless her 😞 My heart breaks for her & her family! ❤️
She was trying to find out what had happened to her daughter with the hope of getting her home alive. Losing the plot and shouting at him would not have achieved anything. So that is why she was able to control herself and talk to him in a normal way.
*Bad things OnLy Happen to those who Don't Know Lord Jesus!!!*
I remember 21 years ago on a camping trip in an island in Australia a friend and I were walking alone in one of the many sand dunes and exploring the seaside cliffs, we climbed up one of these cliffs and sat right on the edge overlooking the ocean talking and laughing for about an hour, as the sun was beginning to set we stood up and turned around to leave. In my utter shock laying right behind us (but somewhat hidden by a shrub) was a completely nude fat make in his 50’s or 60’s my friend and I grabbed each others arms in shock and just ran right past him. I can’t believe he got that close to us without us noticing! It was so weird he never chased us or uttered a single word. I’m just glad nothing happened because the only thing between ourselves and that man was a very steep cliff so he had us very well cornered. I never went walking alone in the cliffs or sand dunes again!
I thought you were going to say “ a dingo ate your baby”😂
Wowwwww. He was planning to take you guys but you left so quickly!
@@pattimaeda6097 wow do you actually think that is funny. That awful set of events happened to a real couple and to their real baby.
His voice from the "Haunting. " I love his voice. It's enchanting!
One time he was the voice for a cool whip commercial.. and I am like whaaaat?
We camped all the time as kids, on vacation my parents always had their own tent. Families have gone camping for decades.
Yes they have, but family size tents are safer. I can think of at least 4 abductions and/or murders at camp grounds in the last few years..
I agree completely!! My husband and I took our sons along with nieces & nephews camping all of the time when they were younger and we had our own tent but the children’s tent was right next to ours and we always went to camp grounds that had actual security to monitor campers to ensure they weren’t bringing in and using drugs/alcohol and not vandalizing property, etc.Of course, even with security these days, and even then, evil people exist everywhere and will take children any chance they can.
I watched this episode on tv around probably 20 years ago and I have never forgotten it, because it was so scary and heartbreaking to think about what this family went through. Many of the cases featured on the fbi files were just beyond horrifying, showing that the truth is often stranger than fiction.
The scariest episode was of the two Miami bank robbers that were involved in a deadly shootout with FBI agents in front of a home in a residential neighborhood back in 1986. Both bank robbers were killed, along with two agents…including one who was about to retire. It was wicked and terrifying….those two guys were really bad.
Same
Omg me too. It was years ago when I saw this story on TV. I always remembered it cause of scary it was.
This, my friends is when you need your loving, but ferocious Rottweiler sleeping in the tent with your kids. Hence, NO WORRIES. I haven't even seen the whole episode yet, but already my heart is truly broken and am sickened by the evil that lurks in some inhuman .. "humans".
Amen
Just a small dog in the tent would have made all the difference, all that barking would have woken ALL the kids and the parents.
@@fastmoneyflow True dat. But I woulda just liked to have heard the Rottie tore that dude into SHREDS
Yep, most dogs will growl when someone gets within 60 feet even if the perp tiptoes. I love my pups. They truly are man's best friend.
There in no "love" in some humans, only evil and demons.
I was born in 60s..we always camped in backyard, and in high school camped in tents all the time( parents in small camper, and us kids wanted to hang out together, and even church camps..who wanted to be in tent with grownups..no one) unfortunately different times, never knowing the unseen danger😪such sad, heartbreaking story😥
When he said:”what appeared to be a pair of a woman’s underwear”, my heart sank 😞
I don't think the crime was in any way forgivable, but I admire Marietta's strength and intelligence.
Iamheartbrokenaboutthegirlangieinmyprayers
That police suspected him, so why didn't they tape his phone on the one year anniversary of the kidnapping? They would have him calling her.
ikr, prolonging it
He hacked another phone line to do that. It wouldnt be traced to him anyway.
I was born in June of 73 ...this is almost 50 years old now
This is a really brave mother. The resilience in the case is amazing. I am wishing this family and all the the victims families the best.
I'm surprised no road blocks were set up since the foot prints from the tent led to a parking lot.
My first thought, too. That roadblocks should have been the first thing.
It was the 70s. Less sophisticated police training.
@@Eric345 that and many many hours had passed before sufficient police labor/vehicles would have been available in sufficient amounts to construct anywhere near an effective roadblock area.
On TV, that's the only place you see those kind of things. There wasn't enough man power let alone the funds or equipment to do that. Have you ever been to Montana? It's not like other places, you can get lost at the drop of a hat.
@@kateruterbories2692 I have not, I understand. Frickin tragic tho.
So sad for the family. They ever could have imagined this happening The parents did nothing wrong. Cannot believe people are blaming them. The little girl had an older sibling with her.
How evil! I just can't imagine the horror to the victims and their families 💔 😔
I hope to God none of yall ever lose a kid and have people poke blame at every little thing you did. Jfc what possesses yall to want to blame the parents in everything?? Even if you ARE being attentive you literally never know what can happen in the blink of an eye
Exactly
Exactly, it’s not the parents fault.
I hope to GOD that no one ever again loses a child. You are correct that tragedy can happen out of the blue, but why give tragedy a running head start?
@@here2laff397 It is their fault.
@@carolmccartney7607 you sound cold and bitter. Maybe you should see a therapist or something.
My heart goes out to this whole family… how does one survive this?, cope with this?, move forward after this?? This mother held the very hands that destroyed her innocent little girl, and begged him and offered him forgiveness with true sincerity. She is the epitome of forgiveness and compassion… I am a God fearing woman and I still cannot wrap my head around this kind of loss 😭🕯🕊💔
I’ve always been scared of ⛺️ camping because ya know spiders,snakes, other wildlife but now here’s another reason to not like it ☹️😭
Me too
totally agree !!
Here in Australia we have to worry about dingos as well.!!
You can squish a spider and you can defeat a snake with loud noises
@@zxcvbnmh i don't know. Some spiders are pretty big and fast. And what about the ones you can't even see in the dark? We used to have a cat though who would eat big spiders and could defeat any snake. Well actually, any cat can defeat any snake, but not all cats will eat spiders. Tigger was a special cat. Well they all are in their own special ways. God Bless all cats!
The mother of suie are now together ❤. Her mother passed away and it's all so sad and how we live in a sick world..this makes me never wanted to go out in the world at all. I wanna keep my kids safe at every once of me.
It is tragic to lose a child but to lose this way is awful ,my heart goes out to the parents an family ❤️💜
When I was a kid and a teenager in the 1960's and 1970's it was so common for us to sleep alone in tents while camping. When I was a teenager my cousins and I would sleep outside in hammocks or on cots while our parents were in campers. In July 1973 we went camping and we never heard about this story. Kind of scary.
I love your channel! Keep the crime stories coming! I’m a crime junkie and you are so good at your job! Keep the stories coming I’ll be watching 👍❤️😎
One thing that has always intrigued me is: How does someone get so mentally ill? How did he get so twisted that he could murder innocent people & dismember them like it was no big deal?

I don't know people can blame the parents. She was in a tent with older siblings and it was the middle of nowhere. Kids love sleeping in the tent as a little adventure. I have nothing but sympathy for the family, they couldn't have possibly conceived what could happen.
The mother of the little girl who was kidnapped is absolutely incredible. She has such strength to have been able to calmly speak with the man and for over an hour… and they still couldn’t get a trace. How? Just how?
I watched this story years ago and always remembered how the mother handled it.
If you watch, the guy tapped into the telecom line on the pole. He wasn't calling from an actual phone location. It's lucky the call showed up on the rancher's phone bill.

Mental illness is not the culprit. It can be a factor, but not the overall cause. I agree, though, that people need to do a better job of addressing mental health issues. It’s not something to take lightly.
They should not be aloud out into society. They are to unpredictable...why are we taking chances with these damn mental cases!

the rancher in montanta is a wonderful observant person!! he was the hero we needed!
I can't get over the fact that the suspect eluded the police who were guarding his house at night!
I think Marietta's words haunted David so much especially the fact that she said she had forgiven him that he killed himself
I agree
You could be right.
Same campground 5 years earlier, boy beaten and died of injuries.Crazy.
Stabbed as well. Punctured lung
Sad and scary
They suspected it was the same killer all along. Glad the parents got closure.
She’s a better person than me because I would have immediately clawed his eyes out
Same.
My mom never let me sleep outside of the house, I am 50s
Bring back the death penalty and no waiting on death row. Our laws are too lenient on murder and rapes.. rapists should be castrated.
Yeah, castrated, and physically. Not too out of reality to confiscate their weapon, right? We already mutilate male genitals anyway... oh it's called circumcision I heard.
Well said. I too strongly support the death penalty. The electric chair being my favourite!!
I agree 100 % never mind leave them on death row for 40 years.
Yea definitely especially when it comes to young children.
This might work IF the police did a complete search for the real criminals....in a lot of cases they arrest the wrong person and will never look for anyone else....only to have the innocent executed for a crime they didn’t commit., then you simply have another murder on your hands.

Hindsight is 2020 vision. Blame the pervert that took that sweet, innocent little girl.
A dog would alert intruders.
Damn right!
But owning a dog, especially one they would be good with kids AND alert about intruders is, you know, a matter of money (you want a full-bred dog to want a good chance of good character), effort (you need to train the dog), daily maintenance which costs money and effort, vet bills, not being allergic to dogs...
Geese are much better for it, because of their own aggressive behavior in protecting their own ground! And their powerful wings can cause a lot of injures for the intruder! I know what I say, because my great-grandmother had a lot of geese on her farm!
@@LiisaWennervirta A pure bred dog is no more likely to have a good temperment than a mutt. Dogs are expensive to care for, but unless you need a herding dog or other working dog there is zero need to shop, not adopt.
Woof
Marietta, you are such a strong woman and mother, i sincerely look up to you and your composure, forgivness, and pursuit to find your daughter.
What an absolute coward! May his victims rest in peace. This story made me sick to my stomach
It must be extremely frustrating trying to track someone down quickly bc they want to find the missing or taken person alive. That's gotta be a lot of pressure having that role as a Law Offical. They do have a hard job.
The fact that it was there last night before they were going to leave… That makes it all the more fucked up 😔 Such a terrifying story-You would think with the four kids together and the parents and grandparents so close, something like this never would’ve happened. The story makes my stomach hurt
I admire Marietta - she's stronger than me and I think ultimately got Masterson caught. He wanted her to have hatred and everything that goes with it. The fact that she didn't act that way probably angered him inside because it made him weak himself. It got him caught because he kept in contact with her, which eventually even the best of them slip up, which he did. If she had been overbearing with anger, talked over him and so on, he wouldn't have mistakenly (on his part) revealed himself. Marietta is a lesson for us all and I hope she and her family find peace in this life.
To this day, kids and adults turn up "missing" during camping trips, hunting trips and simple excursions to National Parks. It's consistent year to year and not recognized as a problem by the parks system or law enforcement. Always carry a firearm and wear a gps tracker when venturing into the woods or you might be next...
100%! I know an Irishman named Cian who has been missing in Tetons since June 2021, when Gabi Petito went missing. A simple solo day hike can be complicated in a millisecond.
Yes. People can vanish because of human monsters, bears, cougars or wolves.
Damn the FBI was slacking like a MOFO on this case. They we’re already told he would call on the 1 year anniversary. Why tf weren’t they prepared? Why was he always 1 step ahead of the FBI???
Exactly!! And then she had him on the phone for an hour. They stumble in the next day “attempting” to trace the call smh Not once but twice
There is no way in hell I would ever forgive someone that took my child.
What if we change the definition of "forgive" to include stapling him to the floor with a nail gun, force-feeding him brass-knuckle sandwiches, and performing a tap dance on him in track shoes? Do you feel that "forgiveness" welling up inside?
@@merriemisfit8406 stop with the slap on the wrist people let me do the job
I’m so disgusted every time I watch one of these crime documentary’s & a child is involved, that people have the absolute audacity to sit & blame the parents. It literally churns my stomach. That little girl was in a tent with ALL of her older siblings, where she’d be safe the entire week on holiday. Their trailer wasn’t even a stones throw away from the tent, & never in a million years would you ever dream that a psycho was about to kidnap your baby girl from a family friendly camp ground! Most of you ‘perfect parents’ weren’t even alive in the 70’s, you have no idea what it was like during that time. Kids played out until dusk, siblings & friends walked to local gas stations & shops for ice cream & sweets, kids didn’t think twice about knocking on neighbours doors to sell their homemade lemonade. It was just a different time. Not to mention the fact are you suggesting you wouldn’t allow your son or daughter to go out on scout / brownies / girl guide camping trips?! It’s the same concept! All the kids share tents between them. Are you suggesting you’d want the scout / brownie / girl guide leader to share a tent with them all?!
You blame the perpetrator - not the victims family, who did absolutely nothing wrong that awful night.
well said laura, i was gona say about scouts thing. yeah i doubt any "perfect parent" would allow a scout leader to share a tent with 3/4 kids ha comical isnt it. usual the ones without kids an ones who havent heard that the 70s were so different
Well put! Thank you for your well thought out comment, those victim shamers should be so ashamed of themselves
I grew up in the 90s and it was like that for us as well. We played outside until dusk, we would walk to nearby stores, I sold girl scout cookies all over my neighborhood by myself, we would sleep in a tent while the adults were in the camper etc. As young teenagers we would get dropped off at the mall and just hang out downtown all day. It felt like a very different world not all that long ago.
No one is blaming the parents. But from these tragedies, learn that you should sleep next to your kids camping.
@@susanb6289 Nope. You need to read further into the comments, they were blaming the parents. Probably best not to pass comment unless you’ve read every single response to this video..?!
And no - it isn’t necessary to sleep with your child in a proper camp ground. Heaven forbid they ever go on scout trips eh! What are you going to do then? Tag along & snuggle up with them & their buddies?! Or just not let them go in the first place because you’re too busy wrapping them up in bubble wrap? What a miserable life your kid is going to have.
I was raised by a single father, and my dad was raised very City but when I was younger I wanted to go camping an now I see why my dad never took me camping.
Our parents too never let us go to camping. I was always jealous of my friends going to camping even without their parents. And kept on asking why not and why them etc. Then i'd get really upset i wont talk for a day. But thank you God for my Mom and Dad.
And, the word is and.
This Is so Sad 😢 Praying for the Families 🙏🏻
No way in the hell I would have my children that young in a tent by themselves without me there. And out in the middle of nowhere too and this is one of the reasons why too many psychos in the world today. 🙁
Sadly being in the tent with them is no safer. We had little Cleo Smith taken out of her tent whilst her younger sister and parents were sleeping too. It felt like a lifetime until reports came in that she’d been found alive. She and her family got lucky but it’s clear that it’s no safer to all be sleeping in the same tent.
That’s one courageous woman though! On the phone turning the conversation around...using reverse psychology, if you will. She could’ve easily started yelling/crying/pleading. But she didn’t fold.. she kept him on the phone & even broke him down a bit. The evil man.. ugh!!
I’ll never ever let my kids sleep in a tent alone- this confirms my fears. Bless those families, how horrible
A family in Australia were sleeping in the same tent as there children when one was taken. Thankfully she was found still alive. We can’t always protect our children no matter how hard we try.
@@potterhead338 Thank goodness she was found alive. A determined criminal with a plan can often have an advantage.
I’d never go camping even as an adult without a trained attack dog like a huge Rottie or German Shepard in fact one of each plus a pistol. This poor family 😢
Sounds like my only type of camping to me LOL but then again you lot seem to like to temp fate by walking on trials were bears & mountain lions can pop out of the bushes and eat you at least in Australia as long as the zipper is secure on the tent your pretty much 100% safe , Also even if a bear or lion don't try to eat you , who knows bigfoot might " pop in " lol stuff camping in America .
To sleep in a tent outside to me is the dumbest thing you can do..when you sleep you are the most vulnerable.
@Jubayda Cassiem Some national forests may not allow guns. In those places, the best you can do is bear spray.

That's deep. I'm going to save that.
It's true.
I'm never going camping until someone invents a tent that you can see out of every inch of it, but no one can see in.
The 70s were a strange time. They're away from home in place that's open to anyone and the parents are safe and sound in the camper, the oldest kids are relatively safe and sound in a locked car, while the youngest children are by themselves outside in a tent. It was like the parents and the oldest child get the best bedrooms situation. Clearly the fact the little kids were together was not enough to protect them. I'm assuming this was normal at the time so I'm not blaming the parents.
Just couldn’t imagine how the poor siblings could deal with it my heart goes out them 😞
this channel, along with similar ones, is the reason ive stopped going on my night walks. i live in the outskirts of a small town of 5k people. crime rarely happens here. i used to go out from 2-7am and roam around, typically staying on the main roads. nobody ever knew i was gone. im 14 and 5'1- not strong in the slightest; id be very easy to overpower. stay safe
@Beatriz da Costa doesnt help that majority of the time id go out, id be on something. i realize now how dangerous that really was- even with avoiding cars. never know which house is the wrong one to walk past
I remember this from when I was little. Scared the shit out of me and i refused to sleep in a tent after this.
Feel lucky to have grown up in the 70’s. A more innocent time. My mum, now in her eighties, (growing up in Australia), describes a time when they literally played out all day in the holidays, wherever they wanted, until my grandparents returned early evening from work. Pack lunches were left in the garage. Everyone use to do that. The kids all use to meet up after their morning chores.
Those were the days
....USED to....
When you have more than one or more family members always remember to keep watch while they are sleeping or else this could occur
That would be ideal, but then when would the adults be able to get enough sleep? Sleep deprived parents are not necessarily alert during the day when the kids run around...
When I was young & our day camp had that overnighter, the Dads would take shifts. Two awake & visible by the fire all night.
As a grown up I've always had 1 or 2 large family dogs along.
@@brandyjean7015 sounds perfect tbh..job well done by your family. Can't take enough measures when you're out camping with family in such 'remote' and vast areas.
When I was young my dad slept in the tent with me and my mom with the boys in theirs ..In Newfoundland we don't really have alot of these horrific things happen thank God.
What a dam stupid thing to say..
This is why I’ll use a large family tent when camping instead of separate tents. That way, if the kidnappers weren’t people in our family, the perpetrators would have to go through us first.
As every parent should do !
Its unfortunate a family or anyone that would like to enjoy the outdoors as in camping or hiking,have to worry about the evil entities that lurk around..is anything sacred anymore?..
There was three other kids in that tent when she was taken from that tent and kidnapped and the adults were sleeping just feet away, how the hell someone didn't see or hear anything at the time is beyond me.
So true
