Every little girl deserves a grandpa like this man. 😭
Amen
Yes they do! I had one and I miss him everyday! The Murderer is lucky the police found him before the grandpa ( mine would’ve beat him almost to death and then handed him over to the cops if it were me and he found him first)
Definitely, Grandma seemed like a lovely lady too, cannot imagine the emotions the family have been through and what emotions they are going through now. My thoughts and prayers are with them all. 💞🙏💞
Not
No thank you.
That poor grandmother. She looks like she's been crying, rightfully so, for year's. My heart goes out to her. I can't even imagine how difficult this has been.
I just love how she put that one reporter in her place, some reporters ask the most unnecessary questions 😖🤧
@@teemarie5478, I truly believe that reporter felt extremely remorseful for upsetting her. If you watch until the very end, when they were finished speaking and answering questions, that reporter made an ernest attempt to ensure she got the grandmother's attention and made a sincere apology. The grandmother was extremely gracious. I really believe the reporter felt very bad about that moment.

I know I saw her on tv yesterday
How would you feel if you found out They were involved And know exactly what happened but refuse to tell.. And have no problem putting away an innocent man..
He spoke so well in this interview in light of this horrific tragedy. I also like his kind words about the media. Seems like a great guy.
Yeah called the killer a gentleman and acted nervous the whole time.. In fact he sounds just like the guy who talked to the girls like he knew them... Guys down the hill.. I think that is your killer... Daddy
Mike Patty handled this like a stoic gentleman the entire time. He is the pillar of strength that every family and community needs. I’m truly happy for the families today. It’s still heartbreaking, and nothing can erase why happened, but justice is coming.
Well said. There were idiots who actually blamed the family. How stupid can people get?
He's very amazingly strong
Imagine how he felt when he heard the rumors about him being bridge guy. People were dead serious when they were pointing the finger at him.
100% SPOT ON Blake
This man has always been an amazing representative for his family. I pray for their continued strength through this. I can not even fathom what they have all been through.
Well spoken and well handled responses. High emotional intelligences 😊🎃
I agree.
Yes. Very much. You can feel their pain. They need all our prayers, going forward. #justiceforabbyandlibby
They have always had it together during interviews. On top of that they seem like really good people.
Absolutely. Very strong people that deserve our total respect. You can tell though Mr Patty has some rage pumping right now and has always handled himself so well.
VERY!
My heart goes out to the girls' families. I'm in awe of their strength
Thoughts and prayers.. I have followed this horrible crime and cried for everyone. Thankfully there has been an arrest. 🙏
I was intrigued by why that reporter George Webb promoted the story that due to finger cut off it was a religious fanatic. He seemed to be distracting away from what other evidence showed. It's like he had an agenda.
It’s only an arrest. Not a conviction
I just read the killer processed photos at CVS for Libby's family
I’m so happily surprised! I heard that something like 95% of cases where no one is arrested in the first year are never solved. That had me despairing for the families. Nothing can make it better, but they seem relieved and encouraged that an arrest has been made. I can see why there were 2 different sketches now. In my early 40s, I could pass for 26 or 50, depending on the day! Now I’m 45, and I think I look 40+ now, all the time. That monster hadn’t quite turned the corner yet. I really hope it’s the right guy! They seem pretty confident, with that high bail amount. So glad he won’t hurt another little girl! 😢
🙏🏽
The ending when the female reporter and the grandmother apologized to each other ❤ it’s hard to heal. Emotions are strong. We understand you ♥️♥️
I have so much empathy, compassion and respect for Abby and Libby's family members.
It's abominable that the girls' lives were taken from them, but it is balm to the soul to know that while they were alive Libby & Abby were cherished & adored by such fine folks.
❤️🩹
This 2 little girl have been grown up in family full of criminals....
Beautifully said 💗💗💗
❤️❤️❤️❤️
May God hold your families close in his arms with your continued search for justice for Libby and Abbey 🙏🙏
Praying for both of your families… have been for years now.
I have a Liberty of my own… I’m from Indiana….
Your girls story has haunted my heart….
I’m praying!
Mr German is a stand up man. God bless ur community.
It’s mike patty
You know him personally?
You guys 😲
He’s BG
@@paulwoodford1984 No, that's you. You're in on it with Rick Allen.
Imagine losing someone in a horrific way and then having to be hounded with questions all while trying to grieve? The grieving never stops. Especially in cases like this one. I’m so sorry for their loss.
It's the type of thing where even taking Allen apart with a chainsaw would NOT make you feel any better. Why let hate and revenge infect your soul?
What a strong family. Continued prayers for all of them. This is so sad.
That's a brave man God bless the family
Mike Patty is truly a man of integrity and handles himself very very very well.
wow, that's really sick that he has had interactions with the family where he worked. strong family, and I appreciate what they had to say on the whole matter. Wish them the best throughout this nightmareish journey.
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔
That's probably what made it easier for this scumbag
I didn’t undertstand the interactions with the family/the photos part? What did it mean?
@@ThorBB Allen worked at CVS and handled the girls photos after they went missing. He gave the photos to the family free and he was the one that killed them.
@@ladyblue8300 WOWWWW Wtf a SICK DERANGED MAN!! That’s just mind blowing.. Wouldn’t surprise me if this man has killed others…
Respect to the families. They’ve been through hell and back, and are still on a rollercoaster of emotions. Praying for them all.
Bitter sweet, I pray for the families relief.
I lost a brother to violence and we waited six months for an arrest. Please pray for these families because this is just the beginning for them. ❤️❤️❤️
They are so young. We all want justice for Abby and Libby. RIP sweet girls you are angels now.
*were
@@wadewilson8011 Oh, I meant grandparents are quite young.
My heart was broken when I heard of this crime. I have my one and only granddaughter the same age. Such a tragedy and loss beyond words. Bless the families of the girls. May the have some peace as they go foward with much love and support. RIP precious girlies.💗💖
Mine too listening to them today Broke my heart... their emptiness is worse..just missing her is all they have to focus on The whole grieving. Process will begin again.. They need to adopt or get a dog to lessen the pain.. When you worry about something or someone besides yourself it relieves some pain..she is so Broken.. God Bless her.. lets all pray for both families comfort..
@@katiehopkins8018 well said.
My two nieces are 13 and 14 and its heart breaking to think those two girls lives were ended at an age where they are becoming young adults n becoming their own person n really figuring out who they are n what they want !!! It’s an age that teen girls want to explore the world n find their freedom and it’s sad that some of them never will 😞 I can’t imagine taking anyones life n especially not an innocent child that was no threat to anyone !!! Continued prayers for both Libbys n Abbeys family … no parent should ever feel the pain of losing a child !!! Scary world our kids are growing up in !!!
I'm glad the lady reporter got a chance to talk to the grandmother afterward to let her know she didn't mean anything hurtful. The grandmother let her know the same in return. I'm sure the reporter felt mortified that she'd caused offense at first.
Right lol even I got offended.. Just glad they finally got the monster! Strength and faith they will get justice.
I felt bad for the reporter. Her question seemed well-intentioned to me and the poor grandmother really misunderstood her. I’m glad they cleared things up. It was also touching to see a reporter express remorse and sympathy rather than packing up and exiting the job.
The reporter didn't say anything wrong. The grandmother is just projecting emotions, and I don't blame her.
Does someone have a timestamp for the question?
She didn’t say “are you hopeful?” She said “what keeps you hopeful?” They misheard her
Strong families, dedicated officers. 🙏
He knows it's the media and the public who have kept this case alive. I feel so bad for these families who have had to wait all this time just to get somebody arrested. It's frustrating that it's taken this long I hope they have the right guy and I hope they're going to secure a conviction.
The media? How many updates were there in between the beginning till now?
Losing a child is a brutal life changing event… These circumstances are unfathomable to me.. The not knowing being just one facet.. Godspeed to this family ….
Class act of a family.As a mother....you’re in my thoughts.I can’t even imagine
Good moment in a bad, bad story for the grandparents and family, stay strong good people. You are doing your grandkids right in all of this.
Handled with such grace. He even refered to him as a gentlemen. Better man than me.
This grandpa and grandma are strong and amazing!!!
What a strong grandfather!! YOU ARE AN AMAZING MAN doing Libby incredibly proud!!
Our hearts and prayers are with you, Becky and Mike, through this difficult time. 🙏🏻💜
Prayers for healing for both families..🙏💞
Well spoken people, much respect. God bless you! I’m sure the girls are sooo proud of there family.
I admire this family so much, they’ve shown nothing but class and decorum through every suspect arrested, every rumour etc they’re so strong and always so hopeful and positive, they’re an absolute inspiration! I’m so glad we’re closer to justice now, this case has haunted me and I’m in the UK! I’ve always wanted this case above all others solved, bless those precious girls! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She asked "what keeps you hopeful" not "why are you hopeful"
We are all supporting you and hope this goes well. May God Bless you and your family during this difficult time.
This family has been through so much this last year 5 1/2 years and another chapter yet to come. May they find strength in their family and in their faith to weather this storm. The time for justice is now. Today is the day. 🙏🏼
Libby resembles her grandaddy and also is smart and brave to have filmed.
That Allen processed their photos and waived fees is so sick
Mike and Becky Patty--such a gracious, polite and caring couple, all the way through this horrendous, life altering journey. Prayers continue in support of them, Anna Williams, Kerry Timmins and their families as they continue this travail. It is definitely not over yet. People must be mindful of not doing or saying anything that will jeapordize the proper resolution of this case.
Strong family and community standing by them sending them all the hugs and prayers their way as they seek justice for the girls.
A family full of GRACE. 🙏 🕊 🌹
You are an amazing person Mike. I’m proud to know you!
God bless these poor grandparents you can clearly see they loved their little granddaughter bless them stay strong Delphi England stands with you 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 💪 👍 🙏 ❤️
Prayers to the families of Libby and Abby and bless law enforcement for getting the guy!🙏🏻
It must be so overwhelming for them. It was the only Pharmacy in town. I understand the Grandmother when she says they got up every morning with the search in mind - now they just get up. But I am sure they will be able to put their energy into something else. I love the fact that Abby's Mother is doing packages at school, BECAUSE she and Abby did that before and Abby loved doing it. Trying to remember all the fun things they did together.
The whole RA developed photos for the family and didn’t charge them when they came to pick them up . My jaw Dropped , the audacity .
Sweet people! Mike Patty spoke with such class and clarity. I’m so glad this family and both families are headed towards justice!
Prayers for healing for both families and all involved. Justice will be served, the time will be swift, but life is long, stay strong, keep God in the forefront. Thanks to the Police units and all their hard work.
I just can't imagine going through this as a family member. So very glad today that they have an answer.
Mike...well done...very articulate. I am so grateful to God that you will have the chance to finally confront the girls' killer. May you all find some semblance of peace at this point. Lots of prayers went up for this case.
What a remarkable family! They have been through so much crap to even being accused by some of these dirt bags on social media and Idiots on RUclips! They have handled this with such grace and I applaud them.
Remarkable? Becky Patty gave the girls permission to go to that dangerous and secluded bridge. Those girls were the victims of a heinous crime - Becky Patty enabled that crime through permissive, irresponsible and careless decision making!
@@brendaleigh7834 Victim blaming.
@@brendaleigh7834 A lot of people went on the bridge. The only ones to blame is (are) the killer(s).
@@brendaleigh7834 you have issues.
@@cowsy99 You're right - I have issues with irresponsible, careless and negligent/permissive parenting that led to the murders of two young girls who could not defend themselves on a dangerous and secluded bridge! They needed to be protected!
I’ve been praying for years and constantly sharing this story. I’ve said so many things everywhere to get/keep Libby and Abby’s name alive. 🤎 They are so very loved. My heart goes to you and yours. 🫶🏻 Justice for these angels.
Gut wrenching strength and unity. Role models for what no one should have to experience. May the girl’s’ memories be a blessing.
How lovely is that reporter not being understood and then apologizing afterwards, they are so respectful
There was one anonymous person on the internet who called Bridge Guy Richard back in 2020. Gray Hughes covered the texts yesterday. The person who wrote it took it back and said that he didn't mean to call the person Richard and there was another post saying, "That photo is Richard, but he was there for something different" or some sentence like that. It became a joke to call Bridge Guy "Richard" but I think the first person knew who Bridge Guy was but thought that Richard was not involved in the deaths.
Gray Hughes is a hack and a grifter. So amazing that there are so many people who actually listen to that guy.
I admire the strength of these families. And they’ve always been available for interviews, podcasts, and CrimeCon. God Bless them on this new phase of their path to justice for Abby and Libby xo
These poor traumatized families.
Heart breaks for them.
You all just keep loving each other and supporting each other.
My heart breaks and my prayers are with these families, the community, le and all involved!
I am so pleased that it appears justice will be served in this case. My thoughts are with the family at this time. 💜
My deepest condolences to both families. This is such a tragedy for the families to be reliving this. The world is behind these victims of such a horrendous act. What a true gent for the way he handled those questions & his wife too.
My heart and prayers go out to the families. I have cried many tears myself over this horrific unnecessary crime. May the Lord give them strength and all of us in our small town to continue on. Thank you to LE for your hard work and not giving up. May God gives you continued strength as well. Thank you Father God.
thank you so much for never giving up hope in seeking out justice for this awful disgusting crime
My prayers 🙏 and love go out to you and your families and the hour's all involved that helped in this case God Bless you all !🙏💜
May God bless and keep you ❤
“When I see him face to face”. Chills.
What a gracious person and articulate grandpa. Sending your family love.
Prayers to this sweet family ❤ I can’t imagine seeing the face of the man who took my family member from us.
Prayers for Abby and Libbys' family and friends. Neighbors .
I don’t understand why so many news agencies haven’t shown the pic of the man arrested. It’s all over google. He worked at CVS, married and had a daughter. He lived only 5 minutes from trail where Libby and Abby were walking. He must be a really sick bastard. Last week the police were digging up his fire pit in the backyard. I suspect he may have burned their clothes and his there. He even walks like the video was shown on Libby’s phone.
God Bless You Grandparents😢
I just want to say as the grandmother of three beautiful grandchildren that my prayers are with these two beautiful families and my heart goes out to them. They need every single bit of strength and good on grandma for putting that reporter in her place for asking that question about hope. Family’s only have hope and strength in each other.
That grandpa is awesome 👌
Sending you LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE ❤ From New Orleans, La
Mike, what a man!!
Sending out loving prayers to the Williams and German families, finally a little bit of Justice for these beautiful girls Abby and Libbey. Gone too soon 😢 I know there's never gonna be enough Justice for what was done to these 2 beautiful lives. Sending you a truly heartfelt hug and prayers 🙏 ❤️ 💖
God bless Libby and Abby's families. I cannot fathom their pain... :(
Continuing prayers to the family 💔 glad there is an arrest but sorry they have to go through not having answers still
Prayers to all family and friends.
Love and prayers to the familys and all involved. I too have followed this vile crime and did start thinking no one would ever be arrested but due to law enforcements hard and dedicated work they have hopefully got the right person.
I bet such lovely grandparents have been a rock for their children - I cannot imagine the horror they have lived through for over five years and have remained sane !
This was very touching to me. You two are very strong in your faith!
I have to give the grandparents much credit. In NO WAY would I be able to maintain my composure, especially at this point. I would be screaming...I WANT HIS BLOOD NOW! God bless them.
My prayers are with the families justice for Abby and Libby 🙏😇🦋🌻
I swear every man in that community looks alike. No wonder nobody could recognize the man in the video. They all look alike.
WOW!!! You and your wife are amazing ...a class act in every way possible.
My heartbreaks for the family of both children and I pray Abby & Libby get the justice they deserve!! Abby and Libby will NEVER be forgotten!!🙏🙏🙏❤️
I have a hunch that we may find accomplices. How was he hiding in plain sight? Someone had to know.
People ket their mouth shut. Like he'll his wife didn't recognize the blue coat and jeens, so close to home yet.
Like he ll
@@audreydaleski1067 Dennis Radar’s wife and kids didn’t know. That coat is common, my husband has a similar black one. Unfortunately the video quality isn’t great so it’s hard to say. I wouldn’t blame her or his coworkers and friends.
@@audreydaleski1067 How could she not know his voice? The cleaned up audio seems quite clear. Maybe she thought oh no it couldn't be him. He'd never do anything remotely like that.
She should have recognized his walk in the video. He has a very distinct walk.
Prayers for justice, from, Ohio
So glad they caught him. It's time for justice for the girls, their families and the community.
She touches my heart. God bless them. This kind of horrific loss paralyzes families as we move on like normal life. 🙏
Much Respect ✊ to you Sir and the heroes of this case💯✌🏻✊.. you stayed the course 👏👏👏thank you ✌🏻💯
Mike and Becky you are SO gracious. Well spoken. You’ve endured the worst.
He’s a real MAN , very honorable
God love and Bless you! I think you all are in good hands with this case!
Prayers ❤
i like these grandparents. great demeanor.
Just like Kay and Larry Woodcock. Good people.
Well spoken straight forward and highly intelligent
A beautiful couple. Blessings upon these beautiful people.
Saw a comment from another person on a different channel who asked about the suspects wife. Did she not see that video and realize that was her husband? I think that's a great question. Nobody recognized this guy? Whole thing is crazy.
Rumor has the wife found one of Richard Allen’s “souvenirs” and asked the Patty’s about it. Patty’s confirmed it belonged to one of the girls and turned it in to l.e. Therefore Richard Allen was arrested. I do not believe she knew until recently right before his arrest. This is rumor so take it for what it is. Not verified.
I said the same thing to my husband. They were married 25 years… she didn’t recognize his clothes, that she probably washed or his voice? There is no way! I could recognize mine in a crowd!
Dennis Raders wife told him the recording sounds like him but who thinks their partner is a killer .... hard to come to that thought ?!
Libby really resembles her grandfather. Thoughts and prayers for both families and the community. I’m thankful they have an arrest, but innocent until proven guilty. May we get to the top of that mountain.
fYI these 2 people aren't physically related but perhaps you meañt the resemblance is one of character?
They do look alike. I looked more like my awesome stepfather than my no good dad. True.
May God grant your family and friends the strength to handle all the bits of this horrible situation. I’ve followed this case since the beginning and I’m so ecstatic that your beautiful girls will be vindicated.
My heart is hurting so much for them both but what I see in this Grandmother's Eyes is a Pain so Deep and horrific it's indescribable. Thoughts and Prayer. 🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏😥
Those 2 families have a World of Support. ,literally.
What a very rational man. I'm grateful they can move toward closure.
What beautiful people. They didn’t deserve this pain.
