- Madison Scott was camping alone one night by the lake in Canada. However, when her friend visited the next morning, her tent was still there but Maddy was nowhere to be seen... She wouldn't be seen for many years.

Never leave your friend behind ..come together, leave together!!!
And know the difference between FRIENDS and aquaintances.. I have two teenage daughters and we go over "watch out for your friends" and "everyone is not your friend" often. Sad 💔
@@Morgan_LayfayThey can be hard to distinguish for sure.
Madison wanted to stay, plus she had her own car, plus there were still people there at the time.
If anything, the party organiser's should have woken her and explained everyone else had gone
especially on a camp ground
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I've driven along the highway of tears. So many Memorials and signs for missing women. It's eerie.
A friend's daughter disappeared on that highway
There's actually a series that documents the victims lives and stories of those who lost their lives on the highway. They have links to support the families. Very respectful
It's evil.
@@joycebrackbill-henderly8311 It’s people who are the evil, not the place.
@@eh1702 Yup. It's actually beautiful.
The 911 call from her mom is heartbreaking. You can tell she's trying not to freak out, but she knows something's terribly wrong.
I was thinking the same thing. The mom was doing her best to hold it together.
I have stories behind my thoughts, but no reason to share them... One thing I learned during great loss.. Most guys / boys / men have a fair amount of friends.. The fortunate ones have even more.. That being said.. When it comes to tragedy.. Women almost always will outclass the men... WE may be "tough.". We may be 'chiseled' into pretending we are granite, and some may actually be, but the true source of strength IMO, are Women.. Still heartbreaking on this situation..
@@daCubanaqt IF you stripped away 'egos' most of us 'boys' (Men - or not) have.. Women almost always hold it together far better than men do.. "Just Saying"...
It's horrible. It really rips your heart up.
It's just a bummer how many times people get hurt cause the goddamn friends leave them haha. I'm not sure why she stayed alone though that's really bizarre, maybe just wanted to sleep, but your truck is there just leave
I grew up on the Highway of Tears. Aka the highway of hell. I had friends disappear. I had family disappear. I grew up in an extremely small town just like this. The numbers of missing indigenous women is in the quadruple digits. They just don't get reports. We filed a report just to be told she was a run away. I myself am indigenous and trust me when I say this. Thousands of us are missing and murdered. Just from a singular highway. Our sisters deserve justice. Our aunties deserve peace. We deserve to be valued and cared for.
YES YOU DO, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, ITS DISCUSTING HOW THAY TREAT THE INDIGINESS PPL OF CANADA, AND AMERICA, ABSOLUTELY DISCUSTING. YOUR LIFE'S ARE WORTH JUST AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER WOMANS OR MANS LIFE, THE AMOUNT OF MOTHERS WHO STILL TO THIS DAY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT HAPPEN TO THERE BELOVED DAUGHTERS, GRANDDAUGHTER'S , IS SOO VERY SAD AND DAUGHTERS WHO'S MOTHER'S AND AUNTS HAVE GON MISSING TOO, ITS JUST TERRIBLY SAD, THERE IS ONE SICK SICK MAN OUT THERE TARGETING THE TRIBAL LADIES/INDIGINESS LADIES OF THE LAND, AND EVEN AFTER 1 WOMAN WENT MISSING THERE, IT WAS FAR TOO MANY, CANADA NEAD TO PULL THERE FINGERS OUT N STOP THIS FREEK ONCE AND FOR ALL, IM SURE THAY COULD USE A FEMALE POLICE OFFICER AS A PLANT AND CATCH HIM, THAY JUST DO NOT GIVE A DAM, AND THAT'S DISCUSTING. AND WHY THAY CLASS INDIGINESS MEN AND WOMAN 2ND CLASS CITIZENS IS TOTALLY BEYOND ME, WE ARE ALL HUMAN, AND EVERY LIFE IS WORTH AS MUCH AS THE NEXT REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITY, RACE, CREED OR COLOUR, SENDING LOVE TO YOU AND YR PPLS, FROM ENGLAND U.

S I REMEMBER THE RECORDING OF THAT CREEPY MAN WHO TOOK THAT BEAUTIFUL INDIGINESS LADY IN HIS TRUCK N SHE GOT A LITTLE RECORDING OF HIM SAYING HE WASN'T TAKING HER THE WRONG WAY, WHEN SHE NEW HE WAS AND SHE HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE, I MEAN FOR GOD'S SAKE THAY NEED TO GET THIS VILE CREEP.

COS IT SEEMS THAY JUST DO A MINIMAL WRITE UP FILE IT AWAY N THAT'S IT😮😮🤔🤬 JUSTICE FOR INDIGINESS WOMAN BRING THEM BACK HOME TO THERE FAMILY'S WHERE THAY BELONG, ✌🏻♥️♥️✌🏻✌🏻♥️.
It’s just such a perfect storm for the worst nightmares.
That many native communities and so many people that live in them without vehicles. How else is one to go places other than walking or hitchhiking. Then the fact that it’s so isolated makes it a magnet for evil people like this because it presents an opportunity to easily fulfill their “fantasies”.
Also, we’re racist towards natives here in Canada. Straight up, let’s be honest. The police themselves used to drive them to deserted highways in the middle of winter and leave them to die! Like they aren’t people at all! It’s atrocious and such a disgrace to our country. Most of us just don’t know what to do to change it and honestly don’t understand how bad it is if we don’t live it. So nothing changes.
On top of all of that though, small towns are evil on their own. In my experience at least. They are the darkest corners of the earth where sick people accumulate and all the residents hide their secrets.
I’m white and my parents came from a town like this. Mostly white people there honestly and I moved there from grade 10-12 (grew up with my mother and she wasn’t much better). It f*cked me up for life and I can honestly say I feel fortunate I made it out. You can actually FEEL the evil energy when you drive into town if you’re sensitive to that type of thing. There’s been missing girls from there as well and, same thing, nobody really knows about them. It’s easy to sweep things under the rug like that in isolated communities and the rest of the world doesn’t know or care.
It’s nothing like the highway of tears as it’s just one small town out in the boonies surrounded by endless wilderness. It’s enough to draw the sick and twisted though. And the psychopaths don’t even have to leave if they don’t want to. Some are just passing through but many just live there. Everyone knows what they did but nobody says anything. It’s SICK beyond comprehension. There’s far more evil in this world than most of us could even ever imagine.
I am so sorry. It's absolutely shameful that this epidemic is not getting the attention it needs and deserves. When these numbers of women are affected it is an epidemic and a public health risk. However because these women are indigenous no one gives a damn.
😢I'm so sorry for this happening in your communities 🫂 💜
Yeah, when he said 40, I thought “isn’t it more like 400?” So tragic- I’m so sorry for what has happened to you. All of these cases deserve to be solved and the tragedies need to stop
As a native woman in Canada, thank-you. Thank-you for humanizing us. These women deserved justice.
Who dehumanizes Canadian Women? Lemme atum!
Nobody did.....just a victim loving liberal playing the victim. It's what they do! @@user-iz1kz8dq6h
English is a foreign language for me and yet I noticed that you left out the important word "native".
@@alestbest you talking to me? U mean like "who de-humanizes native Canadian women?"
Who dehumanises native Canadian women and in what way?
Oh, Mike. That Chapter is the reason my house gets cleaned, the dishes done, and how I relax. Thanks for 3 years of making my chores easier, and here's to many more to come!
😂
So you’ve learned to cover up your _crimes,_ no doubt!
Cleaning up the evidence!
*what did you do?!?*
_CONFESS!!_

Watching Mike is my relax bed time. Me time. Thanks Mike
Agreed
I listen while I clean as well
You NEVER LEAVE YOUR EFFING FRIEND AT A PARTY. Terrible things happen to them, even if they aren’t murdered, there are things you have to learn to live with, nightmares, forever. Be loyal, when you go together, you you STAY together; you’re a SAFETY TEAM, never leave them vulnerable.
I have to disagree. If they’re refusing to leave and putting you at risk, it’s time to get out of the situation and let them reap what they’ve sewn.
Madison wanted to stay. She had her car, she was among people she knew. If anything the party organiser's should have woken her and told her that everyone had left.
@@Convict2Gardener The plan was to camp there. You stick to the plan you made when you were sober. You never leave someone behind alone.
@@Convict2Gardener They should at the very least have woken her to tell her they were leaving her alone.
@@eh1702 they did though and she wasn’t happy about it they offered to take her with them and many party goers did the same.
the suspicion about the family that owns the property came from the fact that the police had tried to search their property earlier in the investigation, and were denied permission to complete their search (WHERE she was later found)
Unfortunately, this is what happens when the police treat the people like garbage. The people come to not trust the police and sometimes even hate them. So, they refuse to cooperate with them out of fear for their own safety.
This is a great example of how the government cannot rule without the consent of the governed. Had the property owner not feared his own government, then he would have absolutely allowed the search. Then, the police would have found Madison right away and maybe some key evidence like DNA.
how did they get permission this time?
My really good friend disappeared on the Highway of Tears in 2002 when we were 25. No sign of her anywhere. It’s so sad that all of these innocent women are gone. It is so painful and it’s something that you never “get over”.
I am so sorry that your friend hasn't been found and I am sorry for the pain you and the rest of the community must feel. I hope someday that someone finds her.
@@surrealistgirlx thank you💗
I'm so so so sorry. That's awful... I cannot imagine your pain and I second the comment above mine. I hope you get closure someday soon 🫂💚🐝-Bee
@@andyandbee Thank you so much💗
What was your friend's name and was she ever registered or told that she was missing? I know the cops don't like to do their jobs.
“Someplace normal, Like Florida!!!” 🤣🤣🤣 I was dying laughing. Thx Mike.
Right🤓
Mississippi
Idaho
Ohio
Should be extremely peaceful to then😄
That area is Canada's Florida.
The trend is to search "Florida man, (and the month and day you were born)" to see what horrible, funny or scandalous story comes up.
Mine came up, 'Florida man accidently shoots son in law at surprise birthday party'
There's so many horrible things that happened that I haven't heard of one person doing it and getting a good news story.
It scares me because hubby and I have been making plans to move to the keys after he retires in the next few years. It's making me question myself if I really want to live there. 😬
Don't do it!!! Too much weird stuff happens in that state. I don't even want to vacation there. Yikes!@@GrandmaJoJo-gd6yh
@@GrandmaJoJo-gd6yh Chicago might be safer than Florida!!!🤣🤣🤣
Thing about that highway, and others like it, is that it isn't just one serial killer. There's a lot of evil people in the world...
When I was driving alone cross country in 2006 I stopped for gas early evening in the middle of the NV desert. (I had driven twice cross country once alone in 1984 and once with a female friend in 1985 and never had any trouble.) An older guy at the pumps asked where I was headed I said I would probably stop in Winnemucca for the night. He said to get going, as it was getting dark ‘and there are bad actors on this road.’ Which had very little traffic. I took his advice. I had an eerie feeling I’d never had during the other 2 trips when I’d driven at night.
Exactly. Serial killers are drawn to those areas for good reason.
@@phaedrapage4217 Yup, very easy to get away with their crimes up there. Not likely to get interrupted either and if the victim escapes, well, where would they go anyway? More easy for them to hunt their victims. So glad we don't have such space in my country, yeah we have our murders and such but at least if you escape, you are likely to find help or shelter somewhere very soon and the police can be at your area in minutes.
@@phaedrapage4217 You know what would have prevented so many of these highway of tears cases? Decent infrastructure and poverty alleviation programs. Hitchhiking is only normal when people don't have access to vehicles or can't afford a bus (if they even have buses there anymore). Other countries have high speed rail connecting even smaller cities. In Canada if you can't afford a car and don't own a house you don't matter.
@@Jorendotry living in rural Australia 😅
Thank you for bringing attention to the highway of tears and the plight of missing and murdered indigenous
people. Very tragic about Maddie. She should still be here 😢
Yeah they also forget to tell you a lot of the crimes against indigenous are done by their own people on their own reservations... My SIL was attacked on their reservation in California... it was a local indigenous - NOT white man
Way to go RUclips removing the truth... didn't like my comment pointing out that indigenous are the ones that often @ttack other indigenous?
My sister-in-law lives on a Reservation in California... she was @ttacked - by her own indigenous people - they also brushed it under the rug bc they protect their own.
Sorry people don't like truth, but the percentage of indigenous on indigenous crime is higher than white on indigenous *it's just not reported the same* bc it occurs on Reservation Land not bound to US Laws of governance
Last time I was in Vanderhoof (a few years ago) the posters were still up in some places 😥
and the white girls as well.
@@Anglo-Saxonforever yes..... but there is a serious epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous people. Geez you can't even talk about the issues that indigenous people face without others going "bUt wHaT AbOuT tHe WhItE PeOplE!!!"
Thank you for covering the highway of tears. I feel for maddies family. Canada has a MAJOR problem with cases of missing indigenous women being treated as less important.
No, we really don't. The problem is missing/murdered indigenous women are primarily murdered by indigenous men but that fact seems to be lost in the inconvenience of an agenda of "wokeism" and conveniently swept under the rug and no one wants to say that quiet part out loud.
I wish it was just Canada, but the US unfortunately also has a bad problem with it. :(
23 months house arrest wow, what a harsh sentence for killing your girlfriend!
As a BC girl I promise you our country fails women who are victims of domestic violence and/or missing.
But our wilderness is endless and if you vanish out there you probably will not be found.
Stay safe everyone. 🖤
🎯
Same here in NJ usa
Couldn't agree more as a BC girl myself!
What is BC?
British Columbia, the Canadian province where this takes place. @@phil8528
I'm gonna start a That Chapter map lol cause the amount of times we revisit an area for completely different act of evil is astounding😂
Great idea
Please do so I can avoid those places 😅
@Darrion…..that would be interesting 👍🌻
Please do, perhaps there's a connection between some of the unsolved cases
Actually...🤔
Thanks mike. I really hope you do more on “the highway of tears”, there are so many victims that need a voice. 😢
So very many
So many he could basically make this whole channel about them. I do think he’s done 2 or 3 HoT cases in years past tho
💜
yes like shelly anne basscou from hinton alberta that went missing on hiighway 16 in1983.
Totally. He'd have weeks worth of content if he covered every one that ever happened.
I grew up in a neighbouring town. She was never forgotten. Her photo went up everywhere and stayed up. So happy they finally found her.
Thank you for covering this story!
Driving along this stretch of highway at 1am one evening we drove past a small suitcase on the right hand side of the highway. There were 3 guys in the truck, after a few minutes of discussion it was decided to turn around and investigate. As we approached that section the suitcase was now on the other side of the highway, again on the right side. We passed it, went around the corner and quickly did a u turn. As we came around the corner we seen a figure one into the forest as the suitcase laid in the middle of the highway. This was close to the Smithers area. We reported it to the RCMP. Never did hear anything. Very creepy.
Creepy as hell
Does make one wonder if our Highway of Tears isn’t only hunted by those deemed criminal but by those who also wear a shield. 😵💫
Uh...Wow. That is one of the most absolutely terrifying things I've heard yet.
@@KittKatt542 Should always be considered.
She seemed like such a lovely girl. This is incredibly sad.
Also missing from this area is The Jack Family (Ronnie and Doreen and their kids Russell and Ryan )missing since 1989
Maybe Mike will look into that one for us ❤
They were murdered by that guy who offered them work logging right ?
So. . .
I lived in Prince George from 1994- 2016 and clearly remember when she went missing, I am grateful her remains were found and hope there will be justice for her.
I personally knew one of Cody's victims. It was heart breaking and it's still surreal.
There have been too many missing and murdered in this area.
I hope we have some answers for Maddy's family soon.
3/2/24 If Le stopped ignoring people telling them their daughter went missing, until bones are found 2 yrs later!! Even called family member, to have recorded. Glad suing!
Omg my hometown of Prince George is along the highway of tears. So many truckers on that road and so many hitchhikers. Once my mother and I picked up a hitch hiker because we felt we could be saving her life by doing so
You are heroes. You did save her life.
She was found?! Oh my goodness, I had no idea, this case stayed with me since I first heard about it. I'm so glad for her friends and family.
Maddie looks so lovely! She radiates life, fun and happiness! RIP Maddie and peace of mind to her parents!❤
As a Canadian who is born & raised in B.C Canada/ born in Prince Rupert, & lives in the lower mainland; I feel so bad for her family.
And all those who've lost someone on The Highway Of Tears.😢
It's one of the worst places for the death of women, especially indigenous women, in Canada.
As someone who's not only if mixed aboriginal herriitage, & European, & overall Canadian blood; whose family has been here for years, this video makes me emotional.😔
I hope all the families who've lost someone, to some sicko, on this horrible highway find peace & justice one day. 🙏🏼
R.I.P
I am a brown girl and every time my group of friends went out, we protected each other, nobody danced with someone against their will, was groped, lost track of or went missing, drank too much and was not taken care of, etc. we went out together, stayed together and left together.
The only time I went with a different group (happened to be white but didn't matter, just a different group where these things weren't communicated and I didn't realize), I was way too drunk, nobody took care of each other, people left me alone with a groper and it was horrible, I still remember it 10 years later. NEVER AGAIN DID I GO WITH THEM. I had assumed that these "rules" are universal in girls watching out for girls, and that people would check in with you whether you were OK or if the attention was wanted, checking on your condition etc. BASIC SAFETY AND CONSENT. I am the MOM when I go out with all my friends and I just do this, I didn't realize it wasn't common sense for some people!!!
I knew a guy that went to Rocky point with some friends and the guy literally watched his son get kidnapped.. they were on the beach and the friends kid wandered off and when his dad noticed he was gone he turned around, saw his son, yelled for him and literally watched a minivan pull up snatch his kid and take off.. my friend said they never left Mexico looking for him and I'm not kidding he never heard from them again.. they're family have no idea what happened to them and still haven't heard from any of them.. I couldn't imagine having that happen right in front of me..
That's so sad 😢
A woman would not stay all alone in a tent in the wilderness while everyone else left. She would have to be in such a deep sleep to do that or unconscious. She would not have stayed there alone. There is much more to this than that which is being told. Everyone who was near that gathering or attended that night needs to be questioned in depth. Someone in that group knows exactly what happened to that girl that night. Call them all in and start questioning.
A woman might not, but a drunk 17 year old country girl might.
This touches base with the highway of tears and mmiw... thank you for mentioning it, I am sure the families that are affected by missing loved ones are grateful...
So many huge content creators make videos about it. It's well known
@@I.See.That.Youre.Mentally.Ill. Ahh yeah n I thanked them too........ Hope your day gets better
There's no way in hell I'd leave a friend alone in a place like that. NO WAY .
The Highway of Tears isn't just a road that cuts through multiple indigenous communities, it's the only way for these communities to access many essential services like health care, education, government services, shopping, etc. Public transit is few and far between, like maybe one or two busses going each direction per day. This is why there is so much hitchhiking in that area even though it's notoriously dangerous. Plus the authorities have a history of neglecting cases involving indigenous people due to racial biases. There's a lot of shady stuff about that highway! It goes deep 😓
What a wonderful mother she had. Bless you Mama.❤
I live in a nearby town and grew up hearing about Maddie's disappearance. It's wild we haven't heard any details since she's been found. This is the most I've heard!! I do think leaving the tent open point is wrong though. Anyone who camps in Northern BC knows you always close the door, even if you are leaving for a few minutes. If you don't, you'll come back to a tent full of mosquitoes.
Wait wait wait!!!! There is so much to unpack here! I think it deserves a part 2
I know, so much to this story
He’ll follow up on it later you can bet
My heart broke for her mother. You can hear the worry in her voice. RIP Maddy. My your killer(s) be brought to justice some day.
I truly am heart broken to hear about Madison Scott. Thank you for covering another story regarding the highway of tears.
Alas, I am even more saddened, IMO, that there is little to no attention of the missing native Americans/ indigenous people. I hope they find and condemn the evil person(s) who had done this to Madison. I also hope that those responsible for the majority of missing persons are found and suffer worse than their victims.
Totally agree. Not one highway in the US lost fewer people over the same period but natives matter more because of their race. You all totally aren't brainwashed racists
Appreciate you covering this story as well as the highway of tears, so many missing and murdered women especially indigenous. I heard there was suspected gang violence in Maddys case, her missing posters still stand to this day.
There isn't a highway in the US with better results. Seems racist to me everyone is obsessed because this area mostly one race disappeared.
@@Z-rn5uy Here in Canada some have romanticized and some have white guilt for the indigenous, mainly the "woke", indigenous women in Canada are mainly missing/murdered by indigenous men but no one wants to say that quiet part out loud because it doesn't fit their agenda
@@Z-rn5uy because most were indigenous sex workers.
Coming from a lifetime designated driver, please do NOT leave your pals behind. If you went to an event in my vehicle, you were leaving in it. Unless you had already made plans to stay.
My family and friends always made it home safely on my watch. I have no problem babysitting all of them, especially when I hear the terror in that poor mom's voice as she has to do the unthinkable, and call the police for her missing daughter. I would never want any of my friends' moms to EVER go through that. How could you ever look her in the face? It's okay to have fun, but keep an eye out for your mates.
I'm glad she was found but it still sucks. So many places with 'open season' on women and girls. Sad.
Network of predators probably communicating with eachother or a really unlucky amount of criminals living in that small area
Actually there are a large amount of missing indigenous men as well, just don't hear about them.
A poker run for those that don’t know, is riding a motorcycle a certain miles ( usually 30 but up 50 plus)while stopping at certain destinations to collect cards, to make a hand. The person with the best hand wins a certain amount of money and the rest of the cash goes to the charity or subject the run was set up for. My first poker run was with my mom( thanks mom RIP❤️) and it’s one of the best ways to raise money if you love motorcycles.
Not just for bikes!
@@FLSTCKT mainly for bikes that’s why it’s called a poker run. You have people that are in cars that follow you in case you have to gas up.
@traybern which ever business decides to participate they have decks of cards, waiting to hand out for each stop! It’s so much fun. I love it just for the ride and to help which ever charity!
In northern BC, we often do poker runs via quad or horseback, not just bikes
@traybern🤦🏻♀️you sound fun.
This is so sad. I’ve a 19 year old who has the same personality as Maddie… so I’m heart broken for her parents. Sending them a hug from this side of the pond. 🇬🇧
I find it very strange that her mom says she wouldn't have stayed by herself, yet multiple people testified that they straight up told her that she would be alone and offered her a ride. Either she was drunk and made a poor choice, or she was the type of person who was confident being alone and enjoyed the outdoors. I don't really see any in-between in that scenario. People who don't enjoy the outdoors or are afraid to be left alone wouldn't choose to stay overnight outdoors at an empty camp site.
Edit: Also, I see a lot of people talking about everyone leaving. If it was only day 1 of a 3 day event - unless literally everyone had work the next day I'm also confused why everyone left instead of camping.
She had her truck with her though. Didn't want to leave her truck behind and didn't want to drive drunk (like any reasonable person). Between a rock and a hard place she decided to stay.
@@warrent3464 But, everyone said she wasn’t much of a drinker. And, everyone who saw her after midnight said she seemed just fine - not drunk at all. Unless I missed it, or you know a detail Mike didn’t cover??? If, so, please share!
@warrent3464 Yes, like the person above me stated - everyone reported that she was not drunk. And if her Mother's statement is correct and she'd have never chosen to stay by herself then it'd be a more logical assumption to assume she would much rather just get an Uber the next day to pick up her truck. So, either way, it would seem that someone is lying here.
@@vexu7366 She wasn't drunk by teenage bush party standards, she wasn't fighting or falling in the fire drunk, but id assume she had at least 4-5 drinks, enough for her to know it would be illegal for her to drive and she would fail a breathalyzer. You would be taking a big risk leaving a vehicle completely alone overnight at a Northern BC free rec site. There are no ubers there. Closest city that uber operates in is 10 hours away, just to give you an idea of how rural this area is. A taxi wouldn't even go down those rough backroads. These logging roads and free recreation camp sites are the wild west out here.
Although parents like to think they know everything about their kids it usually isn't the case, especially at that age.
I strongly believe that she did choose to stay by herself overnight.
Anyways i'm just guessing at all this of course. I remember seeing the billboards and posters everywhere for years and years. So tragic.
@@Steampunkkids Nope, i'm just guessing at all this.
She wasn't much of a drinker which shows she is a responsible person. Maybe she had 4 or 5 drinks and was feeling it a bit and was smart enough to know she would fail a breathalyzer. If you go to one of these bush party's and your not falling down drunk, your considered sober lol.
I would have done the same thing, the thought of getting a DUI and losing my license is way scarier than sleeping in the woods alone.
Can anyone please tell me where in the video Mike said that the detectives "Realized" Madison Scott was "Hunted in the Woods". It seems like Mike clearly stated that she was not hunted, but rather transported.
Lol, he said "normal like Florida."
Yes, it's called sarcasm.

Thank you for covering this! I'm from that area close to Vanderhoof and moved away in '98 to Vancouver Island. So many indigenous women have been murdered there and I appreciate you bringing this to light x
15:03 I can’t begin to image the sheer hell her poor parents were enduring. A child that you just want to protect and have returned safe but you’re completely helpless! That must have been living a nightmare!
I remember this one when I lived in Kamloops BC. It was very sad. All of the murdered and missing is heart breaking. The drive on the Highway of Tears is so ominous 😢
I was friends with Fribjon in elementry school before I moved back east. I was living in northern BC(FSJ) and I remember hearing about Frib.... the people that tortured and murdered him basically got a slap on the wrist. I feel for all parents in these cases. RIP Frib...
I'm in Prince George (an hour away from Vanderhoof). This case has haunted everyone from the beginning, not to mention all those who have gone missing from the highway of tears. Maddison's missing posters have been plastered everywhere from the start. Her poor family. It was incredible to hear she'd been found though, I never thought it would ever happen.
If the organisers knew she was the only one left there why didn’t they try get her to leave.
You can hear how Maddie’s mom was trying to keep it together on that 911 call. ❤
Felt so sad when they asked her daughters date of birth.
That's got to really bring up memories and emotion for a mother.
Heartbreaking to lose a child, especially to the unknown I would think.
RIP Maddy 💕💞
Jesus christ, a guy shoots and kills his girlfriend and claimed it was an accident, found guilty and all he got was house arrest? Where's the justice in that.
That’s our wonderful Canadian justice system .. catch and release. It’s a joke
@@taraduncanson4509Sounds like the US
@@WJK2198 believe it or not , you’re justice system is harsher than ours. I wish we would take a page from your book.
What her parents and anyone in that situation must go through. Most of us will never know.
Sick to the stomach when reaching the camp site and she’s nowhere to be found.
I live in a very western state in the US with lots of wilderness and remote mountain areas. If you are going to enjoy the areas alone, take a trained, tough but loving working dog (I have a big Doberman) and at the very least a reliable predator human and animal stopping firearm. RIP all of these poor victims. Be protected and safe out there.....
You mean ALL those kids, after partying HARD, ALL decided to drive home instead of sleeping it off on sleeping bags? I don’t believe that for 1 minute. If they DID leave, it’s because they saw some trouble brewing. Funny how this case is SO similar to the other wee lass in the USA who disappeared after being invited with a “friend” who left her to “drive home with her boyfriend” instead. That lass’s body was found in her car in the lake, oddly her body was in the boot. The police said it must have “floated” there (floating between the headrests of the rear seats). I don’t believe THAT for a minute either.
Moral of the story: Don’t go someplace with people you haven’t known for a while.
Poor Maddie (& the other lass). RIP & may the perpetrators live in fear until they are executed.
The event being advertised as open to everyone seems suspicious.
I agree, at a party weekend like that at least a few of the hard core party guys would have passed out in their tents, thats the whole reason to have a party weekend out at a lake it sounded really suspicious hen they said that every single person went home at 2-3 am and left her aloe there the other kids know something!
I don't think enough is being made of everyone leaving. WTH?
No. It is NOT odd that Kiely rodni's remains were in the rear of her car
....it is physics.

Canadian here 🙋♀️ Much love from Canada! Thank you for talking about international cases. I feel like Canada is often overlooked when it comes to criminal cases, it seems other youtubers always just talk about crimes in the United States that we've heard of hundred of times already. Thanks for talking about less known cases from other countries! This is what makes me love your channel over others.
RIP Madison from a fellow Canadian xxx ❤ (Toronto, Ontario)
Thank you Mike for bringing some attention to the infamous Highway Of Tears. xx
I feel like this case will eventually be solved, and for the sake of her family and friends, I certainly hope so. xxx
I'm finding it very hard to believe that a bunch of drunk young adults decided to pack up and leave rather than stay for the night, sleeping it off and sobering up.
I'm not. Are you familiar with "the vibe is off"? How many people would you need to sleep in a place like that? The more people leave the more I would want to leave. And obviously there was a good reason to leave
@@no_peace
I've been to plenty of party's, Hoss. That's why I'm not buying this story.
What would be a good enough reason for all 49 of them, some of them had to be driving drunk after drinking all night, to leave the place they planned on camping out at all weekend? The vibe was off? That's ridiculous. If the vibes off, you zip up your tent and fall asleep for the night.
I am too man.
@@no_peaceyes, I am familiar with “the vibe is off” another way of saying that the energy around a person,place or thing is bad. Always better to leave. Just like your gut instinct- Always listen to it!!
@@saddletramp5000 well i'd like to disagree. in my younger years i've found myself more than once hiking for an hour or two back home/to the nearest friends place from what was initially meant to be an overnight camping thing. mind you, most of those 49 ppl probably never intended to stay the night, there was a fight, and once things calm down and more and more people start leaving, there is kind of a special vibe being amongst those "last few standing". you might be drunk but not blackout drunk, still kind of pumped up from the party yet the outdoors' calm sets in in those early hours of morning. "just a bit of walking and you get food and a proper bed?" you might think. not too bad. so you pack your valueables and head out. and yes, usually it's a small group at the end of like 5 people kind of thinking the same thing.
Very disappointed in our RCMP. I live in BC, how did police NOT check surrounding areas especially FARMS... So sad for Maddy's family.
The killer(s) probably even helped with the search
Why the title?
I grew up seeing Madison's missing posters all over my town (Mackenzie BC about 3 hours away from Vanderhoof) and when my mom posted that they finally found her... My god I honestly thought they'd never find her
Thanks Mike, such a sad story for Maddy and all the other young ladies who have been killed and are still missing. 😢 I feel for the families. ❤
One common denominator with some cases is that the person is trusted or someone who would not get a 2nd look. I live not too far from there and there is a divide in social tiers, with that, a person can hide and have help covering stuff up.
Cop?
I can't say, I was guessing a local farm hand who works close with the families of those properties. Or pair of people. Pretty scary though.
I’m from Canada and so many many woman die on the Highway of tears ! Thanks soooooo much for bringing it to peoples attention it’s very very bad out here so so sad! ❤❤
Not really. Barely one a year. It's not statistically above any other highway. Just hapoens to be mainly one race in that area so racist people obsess over it
@@Z-rn5uy More than 40 people, mostly Indigenous and mostly women or girls, have gone missing and/or were unalived along this route and keep happening monthly! So sorry to say you’re wrong but what a nice lovely person would ever argue about a subject like this !
@@Z-rn5uy racist ? So I’m a racist now cause I’m upset over woman being unalived ? Something wrong with ya very bad !
@@MissKatieLane95 Apparently one of those people who has unwarranted hard feelings toward Indigenous people. I see them all of the time. "Barely one a year", like even one is okay. Then says you're the racist because you spoke up for Indigenous women, even though you never attacked anyone else. I've never seen someone try to justify calling someone else racist because they care about a thing that's happening to a particular people before. That's incredibly weird. But whatever. Keep on speaking up. I'm with ya, as a Native American.
Also, let me clarify that it's not okay for that to happen to _any_ women. Not just Indigenous women. Everyone is someone's beloved family member. Our hearts all break the same when we lose someone we love. But again, thank you for standing up for Indigenous women as well!
Poor girl 😢 Please, please NEVER leave your friends alone, also if your friends leave, please go with them, or at least go home. Too many scumbags around. Stay safe everyone ❤
I agree but it won't stop so many women would leave there friend anywhere just to be around a guy they like.....
She wanted to stay, she wasn’t drink she could of drove home, her friend didnt do anything wrong
This is good advice/reminder.
just because a drunk friend wants to get in a car are you gonna let them? it's kinda the same thing here. just because a VERY YOUNG woman wants to stay in the woods alone are you gonna let her?@@mosu9133
@@DamienRisleyNot the women I knew. We also would not go off, but get home together.
Her "friend" Jordie and her boyfriend need to be looked at. Her leaving late at night and then coming back early morning next day to 'grab some things before work' just sounds off to me. Why would she leave things at the camp that she knew she'd need early next day before going to work? That is just not how logic works.
I wonder of they're friends with the owners of the property they were at? Mike even said that they weren't close but knew each other. I wonder if Jordyn or them knew Chelsea Quaw? Similar case of a fun loving, tradesgirl being found from an area already after it was searched. Somebody purposely screwed with Chelsea's case by misleading people online stating she was last seen in Prince George (they even had a random photo of someone circulating) when she was found 1 km away from where she went missing in Vanderhoof. EPANA is questionable as they like to have some narrative about women in their cases being involved in "prostitution" when their not, while others are and not on their list. Cops better start using some of criminologists Kim Rossma suggestions to get these cases solved.
It's very sad she chose to stay after being told she would be alone. I hope her friend heals in time. ❤️
May she and all the victims rest in peace, and one day the families have closure for the missing. Condolences to the families and friends. 🤍🕊️
Thank you, Mike, for your always riveting storytelling. My condolences to the family and friends of Maddie Scott.
Look at the police, someone on the force is the serial killer
Wow, I get to watch this only 7 mins after it was posted. MIke is absolutly amazing ! Views are already at 3,947 @ 9 minutes.
6,587 @ 14 minutes! Crazy!
I am glad she was found now her parents can have closer. Prayers for her family 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
As someone from BC...Thank you! I get oddly excited when I see local stories on my favorite true crime channel!
Okay, so i love this channel and all of the videos, but i do wanna know where he got and why he put she was "hunted through the woods", if no one knows what happened or how she got there.
Im not trying to be that guy, its just he said that, but nowhere in the video was that said to have been what happened, and her body couldve been taken and dumped where it was found.
Im just curious how he come to the conclusion to use those exact words is all. But again, i obviously love this channel and all of its videos, but just was curious is all.
I recognized her right away; she had missing billboards, posters etc up all around BC. I was so quick to click this, I didn’t even realize we had gotten some answers. Thank you Mike!!!!!
I don't understand how the title was chosen. It sounds like the detectives haven't revealed what (if anything) they have realized.
I agree I felt very confused by the title
"Tears" indeed...😢😢😢
Much love Mike, everyone have a nice...SAFE weekend. ❤
I lived 30 miles from where this happened. The parents pain was incredibly deep. Every year the Madeline wkend was and is heart breaking. So glad she finally gets to go home.
Almost 5,000 views in less then 15 mins! Love seeing the channel getting the attention it deserves
Almost 8K at 16 minutes!
@@chrissieroxba2949 over 10k at 20 minutes. Love seeing Mike succeed so phenomenally.
If highway depts can put up cameras that show real time weather conditions, and fish and wildlife can put trail cameras everywhere, why can't they put cameras on sections of roads that people disappear on. How hard could that be?
Exactly,I've been wondering this for years s🤔 Satellites,drones, emergency phone boxes! 2024 & violence against woman stats, pathetic & scary😓
Exactly, how convenient for the perpetrators, sounds like it could be someone in authority. Maybe the police.
Because the political establishment crazy demonic people running things are taking people for all kinds of things. Organs, sex, scientific testing and so much we will never know.
There are 100’s if not 1000’s of people who have gone missing on the highway of tears since the 1970’s. People from these Indigenous communities put the number of people who have gone missing, or who have been found murdered is closer to 4 THOUSAND!!! Most of the people who have gone missing are girls and young women,most of them are Indigenous people who are from the same communities that you mentioned previously. I have been living in an Indigenous community in Truro,Nova Scotia,Canada since 1999 and I have been hearing all about these missing people for years! I’m half Indigenous and my moms side of the family are from here. I have heard a lot about the highway of tears and the number of people who have gone missing, or that have been found dead are vastly different from the official police narrative!!!
Police won't do anything about cryptids sorry.
@@Jaiden_Anime_Shuns WTF does that mean?
@FloridaMan0561 Come on man I'm from Florida too let's not act like we don't know why those people went missing and why no one will look. Whatever it is can't be caught or stopped be glad it's not here
@@Jaiden_Anime_Shuns Easy targets and no one ever puts much effort into finding any answers. Serial killer wet dream type of stuff.
@FloridaMan0561 Nah a human would be caught or taken down by a tough victim. This is not human
“Shockingly I luv ya”....those words said by mike, shockingly make me feel happy.
Love this guy, funny witty and tells the story very well, I recommend his Spotify podcast, himself and Keith have cheered me up recently.
Don't trust your friends to stay with you or keep you safe. Don't drink, don't party, don't do drugs. And ALWAYS carry a weapon. You're on your own, ladies. Stay safe. Stay alert. Stay strapped. Remember, only YOU can keep yourself safe. RIP to all the women who didn't make it home safely. 😢 🙏 💔
I am married to an Alaska Native. We have a similar problem here.
In a specific area? Highway?
@@oAgL214 A lot of the crimes against women are in the villages. There are no roads. Anchorage has its issues too. Look up the Butcher Baker.
@@garydean0308 will do, thanks!
This crimes are not covered anywhere because it's not considered as important as the other bs the media bleats about. It's shameful that no one cares. I am sorry that people don't take this seriously.
I grew up on HWY 16. Our driveway opened right onto it. Terrifying place to grow up. A couple of my moms students went missing. Also, a LOT goes on up there... it's not some desolate area no one lives in. It's stunning. It's not a poverty-stricken place either - total misconception.
So your not homesick,being stunning? Wow,says alot about the people. Texas is same way,! I love this island of Galveston,eye candy real estate, old Southern charm but the crime is so odd.. Texas is for the most part redneck & worst state for woman to live in !
Nobody does this story. Except you Mike! That's why we love you.
How are you? You look great and it's great to see you again. Godspeed my friend. Carry on!
Northern BC.. The Florida of Canada.
Go ahead Mike. Take it. It's yours.
Just because her body was found on someone’s land doesn’t really mean anything. Bodies are dumped in the middle of nowhere. And people own the middle of nowhere. Those areas belong to somebody.
The owners refused to let police finish the search when it happened first time ... Def sus ...
The owner of the farm where Maddie's body was found should be suspects! Who are they? Why aren't police doing anything? What is wrong with Canada?!?
Thank you for covering this. She has been on my mind for years. Hopefully they find out what happened.
Does anyone else find it odd that EVERYONE else except one girl left the first night of a 3 day yearly event? Usually people make plans to camp in groups and do so. Maybe some leave but EVERYONE??
And she didn't wake up?
They were drunk and decided it would be easier to pack everything up and leave, going back the next day, rather than staying the night and sleeping it off, when they had been all set up to camp for the night.
Ya, not buying it.
@@saddletramp5000 was she drugged? Was this a set up? Almost like an offering...How many kids were there?
Ikr I'm trying to play out this scenario in my head...its just too weird.
@thegreencat9947
In this video he said around 50 people. So ALL 49 bounced because a fight broke out after they'd been drinking by the campfire all night? I could see a handful of people leaving, but all 49? There's no way.
I cannot find anything about the criminals that took the life of Fribjon Bjornson…. It’s almost as if it’s been scrubbed from the internet. Out of the five supposed suspects; only one was convicted and there isn’t a photo of him to be found. Absolutely no info on any of the others who supposedly took turns torturing this hard-working husband and father.
😢she's beautiful. Rest now Angel
I’m from Saudi Arabia and I was a student of University of Northern British Columbia .. lived in Prince George B.C for 6 years and I saw many posters of her on the walls .. I remember always thinking what her parents feel now? How they are able to sleep or go to work? .. Have you seen Maddy? No but she sees us from heaven now 🕊️
Thank you for sharing that. Can't imagine
It's sad how I was ready for the 911 dispatcher to respond completely differently. She shocked me in the best way possible. ❤
Just wanted to let you know, buddy that you are without a doubt “THE MAN” Every single time I see your video pop-up (mostly Tuesdays), I instantly click on it, and you never, ever disappoint! Just a fan friggin tastic channel. To make a morbid situation funny and at the same time, not disrespect the families is a true gift. And that perfectly sums that up my friend!
So many thank you’s!

Oh P.S. I love ya too right back at cha, buddy!
Mike, you've saved me from insomnia and depression, love you matey
We have a road up north in Queensland Australia like this. It is very eerie too.
What road? I want to stay away from it
