UPDATE! TJ Ward has since been fired from the case! According to what I have been told, he took advantage of the family and did absolutely no work. This is heartbreaking to hear and makes me want to push even harder to raise money for his family! Please keep them in your thoughts. There is nothing worse than being taken advantage of in a desperate time of need.
This is so sad. I hope your video helps her family. It seems like the mom and you are the only ones doing something right for her. I hope this video helps to find her. All the videos they miss could of tell where she went. So sad how they let everything go.
Danelle Hallan wow that is so heartbreaking, it makes me so mad that people take advantage of others in their time of need. These people have no hearts, this woman's child is missing and it's like she can't get any help and it sucks and is so unfair. I wish there was more we could do for her and her family!!
I think I saw this case on Dr.Phil a couple days ago and hearing the whole way they failed it breaks my heart I will be praying for her and any other person going though that. Hearing the way they blamed the parents and everything those cops should lose their jobs my dads a cop and if my dad did that to a family it would make me feel embrassed of my father and they should too some people are just awful garbage people
Wow. I thought TJ Ward was supposed to be the best of the best of Private Investigators. He was featured on the Natalee Holloway case that was recently a series on Oxygen! So sad he didnt help with this case! I wonder if he is discouraged from Natalees case and is burned out so-to-speak. ?
Nearly 19 mins in, but I just had to say that when I was working at a hotel and I misplaced my purse and thought someone stole it a police officer who had come in to eat breakfast sat and searched through our cameras for an entire hour. For. A. Damn. Purse. So why couldn't this officer search through cameras for a missing woman?! Outrageous.
Her body has been found right in the drainage system in front of her car and there was a 911 call a few days after she had been missing by the mom saying she smelled decomp where the car was left and nothing was done. So now 2.5 years later they decided to go check the drainage system. The family needs to sue the pants off the police department. This case was a total mess, utter lack of any real police work. I feel absolutely horrible for this family. If they would have followed up on the 911 call reporting the smell of decomp they would have had fresh evidence and her poor body would have been laid to rest instead of sitting in that drain for 2.5 years right in front of countless news stories, she was there the entire time. RIP Ebby and my prayers go out to all the family members.
What if she was still alive when the parents reported her missing? And that officer found her and had something to do with her death and covered it up?
L S Not every department especially if it’s in a small town or there is another department in a larger nearby city. Dispatch is often done somewhere else so the department/building doesn’t have to be open. My town doesn’t even have a police department! I’m so angry they found her right near her car nearly 3 yrs later, it makes me sick!
I have reports from a small county in Alabama that tried to tell me same thing but I pushed for that whole Saturday and I finally got through to someone on a weekend. Not saying this family did not do the same thing I am sure they did. The police here seem REALLY EXTREMELY sketch so definitely outside the norm.
@@NunyaNomi Not necessarily true, my town is under 700 ppl and we have 24/7 365 police officers. What happens is they ban together with other neighboring towns and one will provide weeknight help and the other will provide weekend help with regular weekday officers at a low number. There's no such thing as no police help on weekends - that's just asinine.
They're officers on duty but detectives that would have been on the case were probably out for the weekend, which isn't uncommon however, i feel like in this instance there should have been non stop people on it but they obviously had no interest in doing much of anything, maybe even involved somehow.
L S midland park New Jersey closes at 8pm. The town is only one square mile but still, when I was 15 years old my boyfriend beat me up pretty bad, I ran to the police station and knocked and knocked and rang the doorbell. No answer. When I called I was told they were closed as of 8pm and to come back at 9am when they open to make my report....
HOLD UP. The police kept harrassing this poor mother saying, "How could you stay with someone who killed your own daughter?" but then they kept insisting she just ran away?? And if they thought that the husband killed Ebby, why wouldn't they try to put him away? What is going on in that police department? Something sketchy, no doubt.
Ebby was found at the Chalamont Park (the same place her car was found) about a week ago. A girl that I know who Ebby was living with at the time, went out to the park to investigate. She made about 5 or 6 calls to the police and told them that she smelled a rotten smell coming from the drain at the park. The police passed it off as "just sewage". Two and a half years later, Ebby was found in that same drainage pipe, right in front of where her car was found.
tabby Stefanie Osborne Maybe her body wasn't there for the searches... we had the same thing happen to a missing person in our community. Fishy as hell-
@@smalltowngirlbigcityheart3724 they didn't even search there before, just found her car and went about their business, they didn't check the drain at all.
And people ate do reliant on cops to investigate their missing loved ones. Yes, people don't have adequate resources but yet cops aren't any better. Plus, cops tend to suck anyway.
I feel like the people who assaulted her are behind her murder, maybe one of them had ties to the police dept and that was why it was completely botched.
The parents have the grounds for a huge civil case against the detective and police department who purposefully obstructed the cause for justice, if they choose; I would.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEVER HAVE TO WAIT TO REPORT A MISSING PERSON. You need to insist the person is missing. You do not have to wait!!! Don't be discouraged to wait!
Holy shit, you definitely weren't exaggerating when you said the police were egregiously negligent. I am so angry right now. How can they be so useless and dumb? I sincerely hope this family is suing them -- like Steven Avery did. This disgusts me. None of those officers should have a job anymore.
It almost enraging how the majority of the recent “where is” / mystery videos youtubers have been posting all have terrible police work! So annoying how if some did their job properly some of these cases could be solved
@Kayla With the advances in technology and investigative techniques, it's difficult for something like this to happen unless the police botched the investigation in some way or it was waited too long to be reported, so most of these kinds of cases will likely have one or the other.
Sometimes people die from heartbreak like they don’t have the will to go on.... plus maybe God takes them out giving them mercy because the grief is too much
@@stephaniebach__12-24 you're so right I actually know someone that's just happened to.. My neighbor was married for over 50 years.. his wife died suddenly this past August and.. he was devastated.. now he is currently in the ICU from having a major heart attack 😞
This family has grounds for a major lawsuit. The police department has done such a horrible job that if she’s found deceased or remains missing they’ll never be able to build a credible case against anyone.
Why do they treat every missing persons like a runaway? If they took every case seriously and listened to the family they might find a lot more missing persons🙁
Her body was found in the park’s drain pipe. So sad and devastating. And apparently a friend smelled the decomposition a few days after Ebby’s disappearance but It took 2.5 years to find the body. Idk it’s just all so messed up
Ari Azeem Stefanie Osborne Maybe her body wasn't there for the searches... we had the same thing happen to a missing person in our community. Fishy as hell-
There's police departments that do take their jobs seriously - and then there's this police department. This police department had failed ebby and her family. It seems as though they're suspiciously incompetent!!!
Jamie Tennesen that's terrible!!! My dad travels there for work and I always here terrible stories about their PD! Something's definitely off about their entire department.
I am seriously wondering if the department had personal reasoning behind not helping! Is the guy who sexually abused her the chiefs son? Are they covering for someone!? Or maybe they are just this DAMN stupid!
The person who killed her/or was involved is probably connected to them in some way... claiming that the dog was out and didnt find her corpse like 20 feet away from the car is just absurd. 🙄
Danielle you the most respectable and respectable woman RUclips who handles these cases. Your children are lucky to have you as their mother. God bless you.
Susan Calderon Garcia she sure does appear to have a genuine & selfless motive in aiding the safe return of these ppl that's why I'm a bit confused as to why she would support Amber Walter? I would strongly suggest that she researches the backgrounds of both her & her partner in crime: Jason T Mogler. Both are notorious Cons & he was sentenced to 24 years for financial crimes. Her plastic surgery and teeth were obtained with these funds. There's many families who are still left in financial ruin due to their actions. Channon Rose has made a recent update explaining other action they may take in order to collect from her. The video in cannons channel is update on wedding. pls use caution! Kristen Kaye also has a video named: something you should know
I’m in complete shock and horror of all the mistakes this police department have made. I have no words. Completely horrific and my heart goes out to the family. I’m so sorry they are going through this and I’ll be praying for answers for them.
rewatching this after her body has been found: police definitely lied about using a hound, wouldn't they have found her body? the police work in this case is more and MORE irritating especially knowing now what we do .
Depends on what type of dog and when. If they used a scent dog within 24-48 of death hrs, then yes. Otherwise, they would most likely have needed a cadaver dog. These people were so incompetent, so who knows.
They must live under a rock. Sex trafficking has been such a hot button topic all over the United States (world even) for years now. Who the hell are these people?! Why in God's name are they law enforcement?
The idea of being forced into sexual slavery is a forgein concept to a lot of men, especially those in positions of power. They don't have a clue or want one, about what it is like to be smaller or female. Fucking horrible people.
Anyone else think the sergeant of the case is a huge suspect?... Why was he lying, falsifying documents, and harassing the family. Maybe he wanted to solve a crime he committed. It just doesn’t make sense.
I've seen the Dr. Phil episode on this too. The way law enforcement handled this was completely unprofessional and irresponsible. I've heard of cases handled this badly, but never with this kind of recklessness. It kind of makes me question the intentions of Police department in that area?
This is totally a shot in the dark and has no proof but I wonder if one of the boys she accused was a cops kid... It sucks to think about but I don't know what's worse a cop just plain not doing what their supposed to do or covering something up. I don't know it's all so awful.
Yes, another possibility is that one of them was a CI or "confidential informant", the cops have a long history of covering up the crimes committed by their pet narcs
I am guessing that the four boys used explicit footage of her to blackmail her into meeting them. I am guessing that when she talked to her brother, she didn't know what was going to happen
I agree with this theory. I am livid that the police didn't investigate despite the recent sexual violence towards her, and the existence of footage of the act. Police should care about this. Sadly they often don't take sexual assault seriously
Get this woman to 100k she deserves it. I love that she treats each case with sensitivity rather than making it into a cheap horror film. These are people's lives and we tend to forget that. Thank you Danelle for reminding us! ❤️
Update! Just read ebbys remains were found 60 ft from her car in a drainage pipe. How devastating. Still unsolved but at least her remains were found. Prayers for her family
Two of my absolute favorite RUclipsrs!! You guys are amazing and I love and appreciate the work you both do! Keep it up! You really do make a difference💜
I ALWAYS see comments like "This is so close to my house blah blah" and i'm always like well i've never heard of this. BUT EBBY IS SO CLOSE TO MY HOME!!!! I'm seriously in shock that you covered this case. We thought it was huge when Dr. Phil got a hold of it but seeing you cover it as well is SO AMAZING! Thank you Danelle! I saw them post on her facebook page about this and everyone is so excited you shared Ebby's story!
This channel grew faster than any channel I’ve seen yet. Crazy! I love the mysteries. And I was shocked you covered so many of the very strange cases that happened here in Illinois. We don’t tend to get national coverage unless some high profile person is involved. I like that you keep these cases in our mind. You never know when you may see something.
They need to raise the age. 18 to at LEAST 23 shouldnt be brushed as a runaway. It SCARES ME that im 18 and if my parents KNOW ME and KNOW being MIA isnt my thing, the police won't start looking for until HOURS or DAYS later. Im a college student in my freshman year. I lived at home a few months ago. I was claimed as a dependent. I have no income of my own aside from my work study. I don't even pay my own cell phone bill. Scary as hell.
cool kat Yeah I’m 19 and my parents know I would never run away. Its scary that the police would just assume I’m a runaway and I could be dead, or trafficked.
cool kat : this is an excellent excellent point! I think that your generation should be screaming in protest and being active to get these laws changed! Let the political bigwigs in this country hear your voice!
Girl, same. I'm 21 and still in college living with mom. Claimed as a dependent. I dont even go out at night but know if I went missing police wouldn't believe my mom
Either the police are covering for someone or they have no business being in this profession..I can relate because our town is ridiculous as well but dang this is so infuriating..if it were their daughter.. grandfather..mom or what have you I bet it would be an entirely different story..ugh!!!
Lauren Carr that’s the reason for shifts and multiple employees. I have NEVER known of a police department that closes. My department is open 24/7, 365
Sheriff knows something. Refusing to check footage? Falsifying shit? Gut feeling he was covering for the 4 boys or worked with them. Definitely very strange!
Kayleigh Smith exactly what I’m thinking. There was one case where a high school football player was found dead wrapped in a cheer mat in his high school gym. with newspaper stuffed down his throat. In the surveillance footage two white males follow him into the gym. (They were known to have issues with the football player) An hour after entering the gym only the two white males come out. Coincidentally the two males father was a police officer. When footage was seized the father deleted 1 hour of footage from inside the gym. The poor boy never got justice. Heartbreaking when police cover shit up.
Kendrick johnson? I believe his name was? Unsure of surname. Yes I watched that one too. Police are so corrupt it's scary, can't trust anyone clearly. No justice for these poor people losing their lives and police abusing their position to protect the wrong people. So sad and makes me so angry
To me, it sounds like someone gave her something to drink, it had some sort of drug and she managed to escape/get away before the thing started to make her incoherent. She managed to talk to her brother, but got too under the influence of the drug. The person/people managed to get to her and kidnaped her.
Malena Sandim me too. The way the car was left seems obvious that something went wrong. The fact that when the brother called the cops they gave no fucks. The cops have her kidnapping on their hands but I'm sure they know this. We need to share this case/video everywhere. It is disgusting how the family was treated.
Can you please do a video on Rachel Cooke from Georgetown, Texas? She was a college student who went missing on a jog nearly 16 years ago. I remember when she went missing and her case has gone cold. I've never seen a youtuber do a video about her and I don't want people to forget about her.
shutupjonnie i would love to see a video on this. I’m from Austin and would love more attention drawn to this young lady’s case so hopefully more people will look into it
"Don't contact the media." what? Coming from a police officer? Especially after they refused to help for so long? If you ever do at this stuff call the state police or sheriff's department instead. A lot of these local departments have no clue what they are doing whatsoever. "Sex trafficking isn't even a thing"... this dept is terrifying
If my kid went missing and someone threatened me with jail if I continued to look for my missing child .. cuff me NOW and watch my family bring that to the media! I’m done commenting on this video.. I’m just pissed
When I first heard this story I was completely outraged. I never looked into it but I hope the original man in charge has been fired and charged for changing files. There has to be some legal issues with that
no pe he probably received no sort of punishment for his wrong doings .. all I know is I’m a former escort from backpage and I called and left a message for tommy Hudson at Little Rock Pd offering to check backpage for this girl if he can give me the areas she’s been seen in. I can navigate the website quickly and efficiently. If he takes me up on my offer, great! If not.. I hope they get someone in there who will check !
Sorry I'm only 30 minutes in but the sergeant that LIED and did MULTIPLE illegal things was ONLY taken off the case, not fired or arrested!? He must have broken multiple laws!! Sounded like a weird cover up before you said that and now it makes more sense. The police department should all be behind bars by how badly they lied and messed things up here, it's appalling. You're a hairdresser, so that's why your hair always looks adorable and amazing!! Come do mine lol. CONGRATS on 121k subscribers!! Wow can't believe you've gained over 21k since you filmed this, you go girl!! Love your attitude towards these cases and RUclips in general, it's such a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to continue to support you! Can't wait for permanent merch too since I missed this stuff!
The car being left running for DAYS just doesn't sit right with me. I think it's definitely related to the 4 attackers, that makes the most sense. Otherwise having these two events so close together is just too much of a coincidence
I ordered before. I even started the case!💕 kids are asleep,got My snack ready to watch! Proud of you and how you use your platform it’s incredible how selfless you are! ❤️
I think the officer had something to do with her disappearance or is related to the person that hurt her. He was covering it up. He should get investigated to check if he is related to those four guys that she spoke to.
I attend University in Little Rock, and I've only been living here for 2 years and so far I've been mugged 3 times (and held at gunpoint). The crime here is absolutely terrible. I'm happy to see you doing a video over Ebby. I've literally been waiting for this video since I've started watching your channel!
Ash Law Yea but that can't possibly be true since the police say that that kind of stuff just doesn't happen there. They say they are completely on top of that kind of thing. The police would lie, would they? I'm joking, of course. Stay safe, good luck & have a great day!
I'm glad you brought awareness to this case! I went to the public school with her but she came after everyone else and the school is so big that I never knew her before she disappeared. It was really sad when the school announced it. The students always said that she was never missing and that she just ran away with her boyfriend at the "trap house" but I'm sure they just wanted to start rumors. I thought it was strange that once it was announced to the students that they never said anything else about it. Didn't even acknowledge her at graduation. And I thought this was a local case that didn't have much national coverage but it's nice to know her story was on crime watchers and such. Prayers for family and hopeful for new leads! 💜
Faith Ranae well how many feet was it??? It was walking distance...like in the same parking lot in a small park...Chalomont Park. I live right down the road from there...in west Little.Rock
My hoodie is on the way, delivery end of this month, had to size up as selling fast, I went for heavy pink hoodie. If you want them I'd get them NOW guys! Thanks Danielle and happy to help also! x
No gangs in LR?? That's bull. I live 20 minutes away from there. I've even seen local news coverage about gangs in LR. There used to be quite a few of them. This reminds me of a case that happened here in Arkansas when I was a kid. A little girl named Morgan Nick disappeared and was never found. My heart goes out to these parents. Yeah sorry I posted again but I was flabbergasted at the LRPD's behavior.
Krystle Barnes Same here! I moved to Texarkana, moving from Oklahoma on my reservation. There is TONS of gangs and crime just in my area alone, LR is bad I've heard.
Watching this again after the recent sad news. It's beyond infuriating! You trust the police to be there to help you. And the family had no support whatsoever. Heartbreaking
When you said the police told her mom that they don't work on the weekends.... My heart sank into my stomach. Everything the police did in this case make me so sad for her and her family. 😞
Another strange thing is the police department being so uncooperative and with such Malpractice. Maybe the people who assaulted her knew somebody in the police force.
elizabeth kemp in my opinion I think someone got to do with the police department had something to do with the sexual assault that happened her and hence the lack of interest from the police to investigate any further and an original eagerness to pin it on her step dad.
Maybe one of the cops son's was involved in her sexual assault and didn't want to get his son in trouble if her disappearance is linked with the sexual assault
Salena Moffat OMG yeah I've just been thinking of so many important things that could be help.. Like texting the person at the park on some sort of social media could be something
i definitely think the four boys who assaulted her have something to do with her disappearance. as you said it would be very coincidental if she was abducted by a stranger just two days after being assaulted... i was raped years ago and was scared that when i took it to police my attacker would find me and do something worse to me for telling. it sadly seems the most plausible in this case. again, cannot believe how poorly this was handled by the police... what a joke. i definitely think somebody in their police force was related to or knew one of the people who assaulted her and was trying to “protect” them. so awful. i hope answers come to light soon. thank you for what you do ❤️
Does anyone else think that the reason the original police officer didn't do anything and lied that he did stuff because he knows what happened to her and protecting the people who did it?
im from arkansas, and i remember when ebby went missing. i know this video is old, but i remember it all. we were the same age, only a town over from each other. people i went to school with knew her. it was such a big deal, everyone was scared. teachers talked to us in class about how to stay safe and be aware of our surroundings. friends of hers from my school were doing what they could. putting up posters, giving out shirts and bracelets, trying to get people to help search for her. my mom was so scared to let me out of the house for such a long time. she didnt want me to be next. and let me tell you, all the years she was missing, no one forgot her. not a single soul. she wasnt forgotten, people still cared and were looking for her and keeping her name out there. and when she was found, it was a punch in the gut to the entire state. we all wanted so badly to believe that she was still alive, still out there, that she would come home. and there's still yet to be justice. its not fair. it isnt fair at all. i will never forget her name. i will never forget Ebby Steppach. she's in my heart, and in the hearts of everyone in the state of arkansas.
Now this is my kind of channel!😍 ahhhh I am so excited. Binge watching starts NOW! This case is absolutely infuriating. What are you doing when you’re failing at your job in everything that’s done? Ugh😡
I've lived in Arkansas my whole life and Little Rock is basically considered the shadow area in The Lion King, by a large chunk of people. So for them to deny the dangers there is insane to me. This is also the state that brought you The West Memphis. They put 3 teenage boys in prison for the murder of 3 little boys, even though evidence didn't point to them...just because they were goth in the early 90's when Satanic Panic was at its peak. Those 3 teenage boys grew into men in prison, one of which was on death row, and then Arkansas finally said "well I guess you guys can leave prison but you have to take an Alford Plea". People on death row don't just get to walk up outta prison unless the state is nervous about something...like oh I dunno, wrongful conviction...hence the Alford Plea. Otherwise they'd be entitled to a big chunk of change from Arkansas' pocket.
The fact that the police department was saying, ‘sex trafficking doesn’t exist’, and ‘we have no gangs’, tells me they are involved in said things. I can’t imagine my daughter being missing and having that department trying to find her. Sickening.. ‘Protect and serve.’ 🙄😡
Who are these police that’s so called worked on Ebby’s case?! They should be fired! How heartbreaking for the parents. Makes me wonder that there’s corrupt police in Little Rock’s police force?!?!
Patricia Carter Um, no offense but...duh. There are corrupt police in every department. It's sad but the way these people are "trained" for their job, is simply subpar.
And it's Arkansas.... home of the Clinton's! Billy boy was just named as being part of Jeff Epsteins cronies. The Clintons still have tons of influence back there and no body wants to get suicided
@@nyxspiritsong5557 lmao despite the fact that everyone wants to blame the clintons for anything bad that has ever taken place in the history of Arkansas, it has been well documented that LRPD is just highly corrupt. They always have been, even before Clinton himself
I’m a junior now at Central (the public school she switched too), and this case is still constantly talked about. It’s honestly heartbreaking. This whole situation is so messed up.
Honestly I’ve watched so many RUclipsrs who display this sort of content and after watching you for about a month now, i just can’t watch anyone else. Your content is phenomenal, the information is so detailed, and i can just really tell that you’ve spent a lot of time on each and every one of these cases. I admire the fact that you have two (beautiful) children and STILL make time to make your hallan fam videos and dedicate your time to helping bring these victims home. You’re truly inspirational, danelle!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Was that crooked cop the father/uncle/godfather of one of those four boys? He must have had some motive to completely destroy all hope of solving this case...
If I mess up my job I'd most likely get fired, And I sell shoes! I don't fabricate evidence which makes it hard to impossible to find a missing person. This is insane that he didn't get fired.
Watching this now, after reading the comments about finding Ebby’s body, this case is absolutely frustrating and disgusting. The entire police department that worked at the time of her disappearance should be sued. I don’t understand this at all. Like why?! The entire department should be ashamed. I don’t know how any of them sleep at night knowing they just didn’t do their jobs.
46 minutes! Time to get a cup of tea and watch one of my favorite channels! Danelle...I think I can speak for everyone when I say this...Thank you so much! The amount of time and work you put into these videos and generally your channel is incredible. I have really enjoyed watching your channel grow over the last year. Keep up the great work! ❤️
sounds like they should look at her weed dealer. where do people go to pick up? parks. at least everyone i know. thats also where you smoke when you can't at home. she was probably high and waiting to pick up and when she got out of the car for the exchange, they snatched her. thats my theory
Honestly love how you have merch that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I feel like most people do it to keep some of it and stuff. I never buy merch from people but you're one of the realest people on RUclips. And I'll definitely be buying one. Congratulations on almost hitting 100k. 💕
I have NEVER bought merch (other than Shane Dawson's) because the prices are always insane. I tried to do many price/quality points at realistic prices! Thank you so so much for the support❤
For anyone who is wondering about the Little Rock Police Department, This is not out of the ordinary for them. They are very lazy and need to get it together. I live in Little Rock and let me tell y’all, you cannot depend on them because they will not get anything done, it’s very sad. Little Rock is chock-full of crime because of this. I fear this case will never be solved due to the absolute horrible work done by the LRPD.
Yes I agree, lots of cases come out of Little Rock. If anyone is interested and havent heard about the "boys on the tracks" case, it's another one out of Little Rock and shows thos police dept has been corrupt for decades.
@AL Cats bro I commented this two years ago. The reason I mentioned LRPD specifically is because Ebbie went missing in LR. I actually went to highschool with Ebbie at LR Central High and I grew up in that city all my childhood. It’s weird seeing someone you probably walked by everyday just disappear for awhile and turn up murdered and nothing ever happens with the case. I agree, it is everywhere that cops don’t do their job which has been extremely evident over the past year. However, I specifically brought up LRPD since it’s relevant to the case my guy.
Happy New Year! Please please look into Nieko Lisi! He's been missing since 2011 and his case is insane, the last person with him ended their life and they found his truck stripped states away. PLEASE cover it! His mom is devastated and they need help with exposure
I seriously hope they investigated the original officer that falsified all the 'evidence' I don't know if I've been watching too much Power but he sounds shifty as f*uck!!!! Why was he dragging his feet?? What was he trying to cover up?! It sounds like someone trying to conceal something. Does he know more? Is it a trafficking ring that people in power are involved in and he's trying to conceal it?! This story really got to me and her poor family 😩
The amount of negligence in this case is astounding. The poor family. 💔 I genuinely hope the police department uses this case in the future on what NOT to do for missing persons cases.
I was almost sex trafficked and got away...he tried to groom me...bought me tonnes of alcohol etc. we met at a bar...after I got drunk he asked me if I was interested in working over seas and I would make millions for a “pretty” girl like me...I even said ur a sex trafficker u want to like pimp me out...he said wats wrong with that? So crazy I’m so lucky..he let me answer my phone as well,,.i think this guy drugged her and waited until she was too fucked up and fell asleep or convinced her to go somewhere with him...I might actually do a story time on my story being that it’s human trafficking awareness month..also to add YOU HELPED ME SEE THESE SIGNS DANIELLE!! This literally just happened like 4 months ago!!!!!
how does she not have more subs?? honestly she is so kind and sweet, its so good seeing youtubers using their relevance to raise awareness for missing people x
I'm from Little Rock and Ebby's story has recently developed. It's a huge deal here in West Little Rock. It's not entirely clear WHY police were led back to Chalamont park where her car was found, but human remains were found in a drainage pipe at that park yesterday, May 22 2018. It's not yet been confirmed that these are her remains, but the investigators were following her case and were given reason to search the drainage pipe for Ebby.
Tara Kolb Stefanie Osborne Maybe her body wasn't there for the searches... we had the same thing happen to a missing person in our community. Fishy as hell-
I almost wonder if the pos’s that assaulted her had some relation to the police in this case. It really reminds me of the Tera Calico case, where the police screw up over and over. My heart goes out to Ebby and her family. I hope she gets to come home soon. Great work in this, especially with the fund raiser.
As someone from this area, the “good old boy” mind set is engrained in a lot of our local police departments. Who do you get out of the car for and don’t turn it off? A police officer who walks up on you possibly smoking pot in your car. I don’t know a lot on the case, but if a police officer were to commit the crime, there’s a high chance that it would then be handled like this. Especially if one or more of those four boys was related to the police department. I don’t know if this has been looked into at all or is even possible, but it is what my mind immediately jumped to.
Yeah, definitely, if one of the four knew a crooked cop though most seem crooked anyway, they could say she was going to spill the beans on them and that they need him to take her out completely. The vehicle was left on as you say, so that indicates intent to operate it shortly after maybe exiting. May she rest easy at least, maybe the guilty parties are likely not caught but hopefully justice is dealt soon!🤞
Coming back to this comment a year later- other options for why she may have left it running there- she could have exited the vehicle to walk up to another persons window to buy pot, if there weren’t bathrooms open she could have jumped out to go to the tree line to pee, or someone had made their presence known in the back seat of her vehicle and she jumped out scared out of her mind to run
I think it’d be cool for Bella, Kendall, and Danelle to collab in order to reach more people about a case BUT I don’t think any of them have a personality match to do it
UPDATE!
TJ Ward has since been fired from the case! According to what I have been told, he took advantage of the family and did absolutely no work. This is heartbreaking to hear and makes me want to push even harder to raise money for his family! Please keep them in your thoughts. There is nothing worse than being taken advantage of in a desperate time of need.
This is so sad. I hope your video helps her family. It seems like the mom and you are the only ones doing something right for her. I hope this video helps to find her. All the videos they miss could of tell where she went. So sad how they let everything go.
Danelle Hallan wow that is so heartbreaking, it makes me so mad that people take advantage of others in their time of need. These people have no hearts, this woman's child is missing and it's like she can't get any help and it sucks and is so unfair. I wish there was more we could do for her and her family!!
eeeewwww, fuck TJ, skid!!! ugh everything about this makes me sooo mad!! This poor family, I couldn't handle being fucked around this hard!
I think I saw this case on Dr.Phil a couple days ago and hearing the whole way they failed it breaks my heart I will be praying for her and any other person going though that. Hearing the way they blamed the parents and everything those cops should lose their jobs my dads a cop and if my dad did that to a family it would make me feel embrassed of my father and they should too some people are just awful garbage people
Wow. I thought TJ Ward was supposed to be the best of the best of Private Investigators. He was featured on the Natalee Holloway case that was recently a series on Oxygen! So sad he didnt help with this case! I wonder if he is discouraged from Natalees case and is burned out so-to-speak. ?
Nearly 19 mins in, but I just had to say that when I was working at a hotel and I misplaced my purse and thought someone stole it a police officer who had come in to eat breakfast sat and searched through our cameras for an entire hour. For. A. Damn. Purse. So why couldn't this officer search through cameras for a missing woman?! Outrageous.
Carly King wow! that’s a caring police officer that we need on cases like this!
Because the police probably knew something
I need to know, did you get your purse back?! Lol
Dovah Queen omg 😆 yes I did!! Lol
Annalise Mellon and what's that idiot
They need to just throw that entire police department away....fire everybody!
Jazzy Patt More than fired. What they did was criminal.
You get a fire and YOU get a fire and YOU get a fire
All of yous get a fire!
Mlan LoL 😂
Or just throw a match on it n literally set it on fire...
I completely agree with this
Her body has been found right in the drainage system in front of her car and there was a 911 call a few days after she had been missing by the mom saying she smelled decomp where the car was left and nothing was done. So now 2.5 years later they decided to go check the drainage system. The family needs to sue the pants off the police department. This case was a total mess, utter lack of any real police work. I feel absolutely horrible for this family. If they would have followed up on the 911 call reporting the smell of decomp they would have had fresh evidence and her poor body would have been laid to rest instead of sitting in that drain for 2.5 years right in front of countless news stories, she was there the entire time. RIP Ebby and my prayers go out to all the family members.
Kellye Raiborn Devastating-
Well said. So sad....and that department needs to be sued hard.
Why hasn't the officer who stonewalled the investigation been looked at as a suspect?
What if she was still alive when the parents reported her missing? And that officer found her and had something to do with her death and covered it up?
May i ask how you got this info if it was from a vid does anyone have a link
Wait. A police department that “doesn’t work on the weekends” !?!? Since when do police departments close!? My department is open 24/7, 365
L S Not every department especially if it’s in a small town or there is another department in a larger nearby city. Dispatch is often done somewhere else so the department/building doesn’t have to be open. My town doesn’t even have a police department! I’m so angry they found her right near her car nearly 3 yrs later, it makes me sick!
I have reports from a small county in Alabama that tried to tell me same thing but I pushed for that whole Saturday and I finally got through to someone on a weekend. Not saying this family did not do the same thing I am sure they did. The police here seem REALLY EXTREMELY sketch so definitely outside the norm.
@@NunyaNomi Not necessarily true, my town is under 700 ppl and we have 24/7 365 police officers. What happens is they ban together with other neighboring towns and one will provide weeknight help and the other will provide weekend help with regular weekday officers at a low number. There's no such thing as no police help on weekends - that's just asinine.
They're officers on duty but detectives that would have been on the case were probably out for the weekend, which isn't uncommon however, i feel like in this instance there should have been non stop people on it but they obviously had no interest in doing much of anything, maybe even involved somehow.
L S midland park New Jersey closes at 8pm. The town is only one square mile but still, when I was 15 years old my boyfriend beat me up pretty bad, I ran to the police station and knocked and knocked and rang the doorbell. No answer. When I called I was told they were closed as of 8pm and to come back at 9am when they open to make my report....
HOLD UP. The police kept harrassing this poor mother saying, "How could you stay with someone who killed your own daughter?" but then they kept insisting she just ran away?? And if they thought that the husband killed Ebby, why wouldn't they try to put him away? What is going on in that police department? Something sketchy, no doubt.
It is the strangest thing I think I have seen yet.
Amber Warren S
I feel like the cops have something to do with it !
It sounds like the police had something to do with it! I've gotta that vibe since the beginning
I agree. I think the police are involved. It wouldn't be the first time that "upstanding" citizens are the culprits.
Ebby was found at the Chalamont Park (the same place her car was found) about a week ago. A girl that I know who Ebby was living with at the time, went out to the park to investigate. She made about 5 or 6 calls to the police and told them that she smelled a rotten smell coming from the drain at the park. The police passed it off as "just sewage". Two and a half years later, Ebby was found in that same drainage pipe, right in front of where her car was found.
tabby Stefanie Osborne Maybe her body wasn't there for the searches... we had the same thing happen to a missing person in our community. Fishy as hell-
@@smalltowngirlbigcityheart3724 they didn't even search there before, just found her car and went about their business, they didn't check the drain at all.
tabby did she die
@@jospriddey3204 Yes she's dead. She was in the drainage pipe decomposing for 2 and a half years. That's what the nasty smell was.
How fucking sad that she was there the entire time and no one even looked for her....it breaks my heart
I don’t understand how the police mess up so much and never get blamed it’s crazy to me
And your almost at 100k I been here since 23k your channel has grown so much
They're the best gang to be in.
I think theres something larger going on with LE throughout the U.S.
And people ate do reliant on cops to investigate their missing loved ones. Yes, people don't have adequate resources but yet cops aren't any better. Plus, cops tend to suck anyway.
The police FAILED Ebby. Hope they sleep well knowing they ruined so many lives.
Believe me when I say, they don’t care.
I feel like the people who assaulted her are behind her murder, maybe one of them had ties to the police dept and that was why it was completely botched.
I can’t believe that cop said his family dealt with a similar situation and it didn’t end well.... that’s unbelievably unprofessional
The parents have the grounds for a huge civil case against the detective and police department who purposefully obstructed the cause for justice, if they choose; I would.
If the police had tracked her phone immediately after she called her brother then she would be here now. 12 hours my a*s.
I DONT SEE WHY THEY STILL CANT CHECK IT..TRACK EVERYTHING
FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEVER HAVE TO WAIT TO REPORT A MISSING PERSON. You need to insist the person is missing. You do not have to wait!!! Don't be discouraged to wait!
Holy shit, you definitely weren't exaggerating when you said the police were egregiously negligent. I am so angry right now. How can they be so useless and dumb? I sincerely hope this family is suing them -- like Steven Avery did. This disgusts me. None of those officers should have a job anymore.
SPERTS They likely knew something and didn’t want it to come out. It’s not a rare situation, sadly.
I mean you had a lot of cases with bad police work, but this is the first one that made me mad af 😡
Rayowag
Agree 😡
It almost enraging how the majority of the recent “where is” / mystery videos youtubers have been posting all have terrible police work! So annoying how if some did their job properly some of these cases could be solved
I was screaming at my phone. 😤 why are you a police officer if you don't give af about the people you are "protecting and serving"
@Kayla With the advances in technology and investigative techniques, it's difficult for something like this to happen unless the police botched the investigation in some way or it was waited too long to be reported, so most of these kinds of cases will likely have one or the other.
Yeah, same here.
Just read that her brother passed from a massive heart attack in April of this year. He was only 35. Heartbreaking.....
that poor family has suffered so much
😟
Sometimes people die from heartbreak like they don’t have the will to go on.... plus maybe God takes them out giving them mercy because the grief is too much
@@stephaniebach__12-24 you're so right I actually know someone that's just happened to..
My neighbor was married for over 50 years.. his wife died suddenly this past August and.. he was devastated.. now he is currently in the ICU from having a major heart attack 😞
So sad😥
This family has grounds for a major lawsuit. The police department has done such a horrible job that if she’s found deceased or remains missing they’ll never be able to build a credible case against anyone.
I'd have sued the entire state if I were that poor mother. Breaks my heart.
Why do they treat every missing persons like a runaway? If they took every case seriously and listened to the family they might find a lot more missing persons🙁
I have no idea, but it is horrible. They need to trust the people who know them the best but for some reason they don't.
Taylor I agree they should treat cases as if it were their child
I absolutely agree
Danelle Hallan yes! They need to take these things a lot more serious!
Taylor even if they wanted to, there's not enough manpower in any police department unfortunately. 😔
Her body was found in the park’s drain pipe. So sad and devastating. And apparently a friend smelled the decomposition a few days after Ebby’s disappearance but It took 2.5 years to find the body. Idk it’s just all so messed up
Ari Azeem Stefanie Osborne Maybe her body wasn't there for the searches... we had the same thing happen to a missing person in our community. Fishy as hell-
How was she killed though?
If the cops actually took dogs out by the car like they said they did then the dogs would have sniffed out that body. Just another lie the cops made 😣
@@emilia9455 Not sure, it was ruled as a homicide but I don't think they released to the public the cause.
Those police sound super suspicious and disgusting!!
Alexandra Cohen definitely suspicious on the police department....I really feel like they've done something to her.....really scary!!!
There's police departments that do take their jobs seriously - and then there's this police department. This police department had failed ebby and her family. It seems as though they're suspiciously incompetent!!!
Emily O Little Rock PD is sketchy!!
police are deff in on it... sketch
omg girl thats so sad. get out of there ASAP
Jamie Tennesen that's terrible!!! My dad travels there for work and I always here terrible stories about their PD! Something's definitely off about their entire department.
I am seriously wondering if the department had personal reasoning behind not helping! Is the guy who sexually abused her the chiefs son? Are they covering for someone!? Or maybe they are just this DAMN stupid!
Seems like Little Rock PD was deliberately trying to cover something up
What a shocker.
The person who killed her/or was involved is probably connected to them in some way... claiming that the dog was out and didnt find her corpse like 20 feet away from the car is just absurd. 🙄
Not the first time we have heard this. Sounds like this police dept needs to be scrapped and restarted from scratch.
Or they don’t care
I live in central Arkansas. LRPD and lots of others are corrupt departments. There is lots of corruption from top to bottom.
Danielle you the most respectable and respectable woman RUclips who handles these cases. Your children are lucky to have you as their mother.
God bless you.
Susan Calderon Garcia she sure does appear to have a genuine & selfless motive in aiding the safe return of these ppl that's why I'm a bit confused as to why she would support Amber Walter? I would strongly suggest that she researches the backgrounds of both her & her partner in crime: Jason T Mogler. Both are notorious Cons & he was sentenced to 24 years for financial crimes. Her plastic surgery and teeth were obtained with these funds. There's many families who are still left in financial ruin due to their actions. Channon Rose has made a recent update explaining other action they may take in order to collect from her. The video in cannons channel is update on wedding. pls use caution! Kristen Kaye also has a video named: something you should know
I’m in complete shock and horror of all the mistakes this police department have made. I have no words. Completely horrific and my heart goes out to the family. I’m so sorry they are going through this and I’ll be praying for answers for them.
rewatching this after her body has been found:
police definitely lied about using a hound, wouldn't they have found her body? the police work in this case is more and MORE irritating especially knowing now what we do .
Amity Jackson and yet we are suppose to Trust the cops.
It's terrifying.
Correct, as long as they specifically used a cadaver dog.
Depends on what type of dog and when. If they used a scent dog within 24-48 of death hrs, then yes. Otherwise, they would most likely have needed a cadaver dog. These people were so incompetent, so who knows.
"they said sex trafficking isn't even a thing. It's prostitutes choosing that life"
me: * chokes *
what in gods name.
They must live under a rock. Sex trafficking has been such a hot button topic all over the United States (world even) for years now. Who the hell are these people?! Why in God's name are they law enforcement?
The idea of being forced into sexual slavery is a forgein concept to a lot of men, especially those in positions of power. They don't have a clue or want one, about what it is like to be smaller or female. Fucking horrible people.
Anyone else think the sergeant of the case is a huge suspect?... Why was he lying, falsifying documents, and harassing the family. Maybe he wanted to solve a crime he committed. It just doesn’t make sense.
Exactly
Either that or his son is one of the 4 boys that assaulted Ebby.
I agree. Thus dude know or actually committed this crime
Yep
The police department doesn’t work on weekends??? That’s where I️ woulda went off everyone in the station would get slapped
I've seen the Dr. Phil episode on this too. The way law enforcement handled this was completely unprofessional and irresponsible. I've heard of cases handled this badly, but never with this kind of recklessness. It kind of makes me question the intentions of Police department in that area?
This is totally a shot in the dark and has no proof but I wonder if one of the boys she accused was a cops kid... It sucks to think about but I don't know what's worse a cop just plain not doing what their supposed to do or covering something up. I don't know it's all so awful.
That's what I was thinking.
Yes, another possibility is that one of them was a CI or "confidential informant", the cops have a long history of covering up the crimes committed by their pet narcs
Tara_Marie i thought that too...
They also could have had connections to the military. They protect all military people at all costs in Arkansas.
Exactly my idea
I am guessing that the four boys used explicit footage of her to blackmail her into meeting them. I am guessing that when she talked to her brother, she didn't know what was going to happen
Many trafficking victims have Stockholm syndrome, especially with runaways
It is so heartbreaking!
I agree with this theory. I am livid that the police didn't investigate despite the recent sexual violence towards her, and the existence of footage of the act. Police should care about this. Sadly they often don't take sexual assault seriously
liz cal I am glad victims were recovered. They'll need a lot of help, but it was refreshing to hear of police work done well.
@@DanelleHallan what is stockholm syndrome
Get this woman to 100k she deserves it. I love that she treats each case with sensitivity rather than making it into a cheap horror film. These are people's lives and we tend to forget that. Thank you Danelle for reminding us! ❤️
Amen 🙏🏻
Update! Just read ebbys remains were found 60 ft from her car in a drainage pipe. How devastating. Still unsolved but at least her remains were found. Prayers for her family
Great work on the donations idea Danelle! What an awesome idea. Wishing you tons of success!!!
Thank you so much John!!!!! I hope I can help someone in any way possible!!!
LordanARTS dude Danelle is your biggest fan I promise keep doing what your doing. Thanks for the support!!!
LordanARTS hey lordon ✋
LordanARTS is the shit right behind Danelle. I have to say that John I’m married to her sorry
Two of my absolute favorite RUclipsrs!! You guys are amazing and I love and appreciate the work you both do! Keep it up! You really do make a difference💜
I ALWAYS see comments like "This is so close to my house blah blah" and i'm always like well i've never heard of this. BUT EBBY IS SO CLOSE TO MY HOME!!!! I'm seriously in shock that you covered this case. We thought it was huge when Dr. Phil got a hold of it but seeing you cover it as well is SO AMAZING! Thank you Danelle! I saw them post on her facebook page about this and everyone is so excited you shared Ebby's story!
Her body has been found :( thanks for bringing light to this case Danelle, you do it with such grace and respect x
This channel grew faster than any channel I’ve seen yet. Crazy! I love the mysteries. And I was shocked you covered so many of the very strange cases that happened here in Illinois. We don’t tend to get national coverage unless some high profile person is involved. I like that you keep these cases in our mind. You never know when you may see something.
Becka Courtney girl I live in Illinois too! Our cases are too often looked over.
They need to raise the age. 18 to at LEAST 23 shouldnt be brushed as a runaway. It SCARES ME that im 18 and if my parents KNOW ME and KNOW being MIA isnt my thing, the police won't start looking for until HOURS or DAYS later.
Im a college student in my freshman year. I lived at home a few months ago. I was claimed as a dependent. I have no income of my own aside from my work study. I don't even pay my own cell phone bill. Scary as hell.
cool kat Yeah I’m 19 and my parents know I would never run away. Its scary that the police would just assume I’m a runaway and I could be dead, or trafficked.
I’m 18 too and I’m pretty scared
cool kat : this is an excellent excellent point! I think that your generation should be screaming in protest and being active to get these laws changed! Let the political bigwigs in this country hear your voice!
Girl, same. I'm 21 and still in college living with mom. Claimed as a dependent. I dont even go out at night but know if I went missing police wouldn't believe my mom
Right? You'd think if they're not going to let us drink before 21, that means they still see us as kids. Can we get some consistency??
Either the police are covering for someone or they have no business being in this profession..I can relate because our town is ridiculous as well but dang this is so infuriating..if it were their daughter.. grandfather..mom or what have you I bet it would be an entirely different story..ugh!!!
Tara Dactule I think it’s a cover up
They don't WORK ON THE WEEKENDS? That makes me see red.
Maya Madolyn no one can work every single day.
Lauren Carr when your job is defending people and keeping order yes you have to work everyday. Crime doesn’t stop on the weekends.
Lauren Carr that’s the reason for shifts and multiple employees. I have NEVER known of a police department that closes. My department is open 24/7, 365
Maya Madolyn exactly bad things literally happen all the time especially the weekend smh
Not when they've got a murder to cover up
Sheriff knows something. Refusing to check footage? Falsifying shit? Gut feeling he was covering for the 4 boys or worked with them. Definitely very strange!
Kayleigh Smith exactly what I’m thinking. There was one case where a high school football player was found dead wrapped in a cheer mat in his high school gym. with newspaper stuffed down his throat. In the surveillance footage two white males follow him into the gym. (They were known to have issues with the football player) An hour after entering the gym only the two white males come out. Coincidentally the two males father was a police officer. When footage was seized the father deleted 1 hour of footage from inside the gym. The poor boy never got justice. Heartbreaking when police cover shit up.
Kendrick johnson? I believe his name was? Unsure of surname. Yes I watched that one too. Police are so corrupt it's scary, can't trust anyone clearly. No justice for these poor people losing their lives and police abusing their position to protect the wrong people. So sad and makes me so angry
Yep ! Sadly happens all the time anymore. So over it and so sick of it. They will get their due in time!!!
So sad to hear that they found her body stuffed in a drain....my heart is literally broken.
Literally right where the vehicle was. They could have found her within the 1st day. 😡🤬😔
To me, it sounds like someone gave her something to drink, it had some sort of drug and she managed to escape/get away before the thing started to make her incoherent. She managed to talk to her brother, but got too under the influence of the drug. The person/people managed to get to her and kidnaped her.
Malena Sandim me too. The way the car was left seems obvious that something went wrong. The fact that when the brother called the cops they gave no fucks. The cops have her kidnapping on their hands but I'm sure they know this. We need to share this case/video everywhere. It is disgusting how the family was treated.
Can you please do a video on Rachel Cooke from Georgetown, Texas? She was a college student who went missing on a jog nearly 16 years ago. I remember when she went missing and her case has gone cold. I've never seen a youtuber do a video about her and I don't want people to forget about her.
shutupjonnie i would love to see a video on this. I’m from Austin and would love more attention drawn to this young lady’s case so hopefully more people will look into it
"Don't contact the media." what? Coming from a police officer? Especially after they refused to help for so long? If you ever do at this stuff call the state police or sheriff's department instead. A lot of these local departments have no clue what they are doing whatsoever. "Sex trafficking isn't even a thing"... this dept is terrifying
If my kid went missing and someone threatened me with jail if I continued to look for my missing child .. cuff me NOW and watch my family bring that to the media! I’m done commenting on this video.. I’m just pissed
i feel you!!! what a horrible service to the community...
When I first heard this story I was completely outraged. I never looked into it but I hope the original man in charge has been fired and charged for changing files. There has to be some legal issues with that
no pe he probably received no sort of punishment for his wrong doings .. all I know is I’m a former escort from backpage and I called and left a message for tommy Hudson at Little Rock Pd offering to check backpage for this girl if he can give me the areas she’s been seen in. I can navigate the website quickly and efficiently. If he takes me up on my offer, great! If not.. I hope they get someone in there who will check !
Sorry I'm only 30 minutes in but the sergeant that LIED and did MULTIPLE illegal things was ONLY taken off the case, not fired or arrested!? He must have broken multiple laws!! Sounded like a weird cover up before you said that and now it makes more sense. The police department should all be behind bars by how badly they lied and messed things up here, it's appalling. You're a hairdresser, so that's why your hair always looks adorable and amazing!! Come do mine lol. CONGRATS on 121k subscribers!! Wow can't believe you've gained over 21k since you filmed this, you go girl!! Love your attitude towards these cases and RUclips in general, it's such a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to continue to support you! Can't wait for permanent merch too since I missed this stuff!
The car being left running for DAYS just doesn't sit right with me. I think it's definitely related to the 4 attackers, that makes the most sense. Otherwise having these two events so close together is just too much of a coincidence
MissGlamBAM ikr!! I thought that to.. they told the mother to stay off of a case or she'll be arrested.. so he could fr ignore it😟
Really though!! What was the point of that
Yes!! Why hasn't the officer who stonewalled the investigation been looked at as a suspect??
This is a prime example of the blue wall of silence.
I’m just appalled by this police department. I can’t even! 😡
I ordered before. I even started the case!💕 kids are asleep,got
My snack ready to watch! Proud of you and how you use your platform it’s incredible how selfless you are!
❤️
Thank you so so much❤️❤️❤️❤️ Your support is appreciated more than you know!
Why did she tell the step dad about assault and not her mom
I think the officer had something to do with her disappearance or is related to the person that hurt her. He was covering it up. He should get investigated to check if he is related to those four guys that she spoke to.
I lived in Little Rock when this happened and it’s so nice to see coverage on this case! You did a great job ❤️
I attend University in Little Rock, and I've only been living here for 2 years and so far I've been mugged 3 times (and held at gunpoint). The crime here is absolutely terrible. I'm happy to see you doing a video over Ebby. I've literally been waiting for this video since I've started watching your channel!
Ash Law Wow that's terrible. My daughter is at uni and I worry about her all the time. Stay safe and stay woke!!
Ash Law Yea but that can't possibly be true since the police say that that kind of stuff just doesn't happen there. They say they are completely on top of that kind of thing. The police would lie, would they?
I'm joking, of course. Stay safe, good luck & have a great day!
Ash Law start carrying. Defend yourself from those criminals.
@@TruthlessHero86 Do you know how many people are murdered with their own gun? What a stupid comment.
I'm glad you brought awareness to this case! I went to the public school with her but she came after everyone else and the school is so big that I never knew her before she disappeared. It was really sad when the school announced it. The students always said that she was never missing and that she just ran away with her boyfriend at the "trap house" but I'm sure they just wanted to start rumors. I thought it was strange that once it was announced to the students that they never said anything else about it. Didn't even acknowledge her at graduation. And I thought this was a local case that didn't have much national coverage but it's nice to know her story was on crime watchers and such. Prayers for family and hopeful for new leads! 💜
UPDATE THEY FOUND EBBY'S BODY IN A DRAINAGE PIPE IN THE PARK WHERE HER CAR WAS...
Did they really? That is so frigging sad 😣😢
Yes 60 feet away from where the car was.
Iris Buckingham yes sadly they did I believe last week.
Nicole Ploudre's Recovery Journey it was more than 2ft, but yes it’s very sad
Faith Ranae well how many feet was it??? It was walking distance...like in the same parking lot in a small park...Chalomont Park. I live right down the road from there...in west Little.Rock
No gangs in Little Rock? There are two H.B.O documentaries that would disagree.
Little Rock is the most Dangerous city/town in Arkansas
@ it is and getting worse. Seems to be that way all over the state. Makes me sad bc this state never used to be this way. I'm from Arkansas.
gangs are EVERYwhere
Thank you !
I can’t believe this car was reported and no one did anything! I am enraged!!!!! Wtf!!
Remains found :( Rest in peace, Ebby
My hoodie is on the way, delivery end of this month, had to size up as selling fast, I went for heavy pink hoodie. If you want them I'd get them NOW guys! Thanks Danielle and happy to help also! x
No gangs in LR?? That's bull. I live 20 minutes away from there. I've even seen local news coverage about gangs in LR. There used to be quite a few of them. This reminds me of a case that happened here in Arkansas when I was a kid. A little girl named Morgan Nick disappeared and was never found. My heart goes out to these parents. Yeah sorry I posted again but I was flabbergasted at the LRPD's behavior.
Krystle Barnes I remember when the Morgan nick kidnapping happened, I really hope Danelle makes a video on her.
I know, I've thought about requesting Morgan's case... Alma Pd screwed it up too.
Krystle Barnes Same here! I moved to Texarkana, moving from Oklahoma on my reservation. There is TONS of gangs and crime just in my area alone, LR is bad I've heard.
Shelly Lakota A lot of the area in LR is bad.
Krystle Barnes I live 2 hours away but I've been there alot so I call bullies it makes me mad
Watching this again after the recent sad news. It's beyond infuriating! You trust the police to be there to help you. And the family had no support whatsoever. Heartbreaking
You are the absolute sweetest human on the planet ❤️
When you said the police told her mom that they don't work on the weekends.... My heart sank into my stomach.
Everything the police did in this case make me so sad for her and her family. 😞
Another strange thing is the police department being so uncooperative and with such Malpractice. Maybe the people who assaulted her knew somebody in the police force.
Did a cop or a cop’s family member have some to do with this girl’s disappearance and that why they aren’t doing anything in this investigation?
elizabeth kemp in my opinion I think someone got to do with the police department had something to do with the sexual assault that happened her and hence the lack of interest from the police to investigate any further and an original eagerness to pin it on her step dad.
Maybe one of the cops son's was involved in her sexual assault and didn't want to get his son in trouble if her disappearance is linked with the sexual assault
That was my first thought. They are covering for someone or even a cop who is young, a rookie. Sick.
Wild guess here, but I'm guessing the cops didn't dust the car for prints.
Salena Moffat no they didn't. They actually released it to the stepdad.
Nope.
Salena Moffat OMG yeah I've just been thinking of so many important things that could be help.. Like texting the person at the park on some sort of social media could be something
Of course not. That would involve them actually doing their god damn jobs instead of sit ti ng on their asses and eating donuts all day
Note to self: don't move to Little Rock
i definitely think the four boys who assaulted her have something to do with her disappearance. as you said it would be very coincidental if she was abducted by a stranger just two days after being assaulted... i was raped years ago and was scared that when i took it to police my attacker would find me and do something worse to me for telling. it sadly seems the most plausible in this case. again, cannot believe how poorly this was handled by the police... what a joke. i definitely think somebody in their police force was related to or knew one of the people who assaulted her and was trying to “protect” them. so awful. i hope answers come to light soon. thank you for what you do ❤️
I'm sorry about what happened to you! I hope that she appears soon 🙏🏼
Does anyone else think that the reason the original police officer didn't do anything and lied that he did stuff because he knows what happened to her and protecting the people who did it?
im from arkansas, and i remember when ebby went missing. i know this video is old, but i remember it all. we were the same age, only a town over from each other. people i went to school with knew her. it was such a big deal, everyone was scared. teachers talked to us in class about how to stay safe and be aware of our surroundings. friends of hers from my school were doing what they could. putting up posters, giving out shirts and bracelets, trying to get people to help search for her. my mom was so scared to let me out of the house for such a long time. she didnt want me to be next. and let me tell you, all the years she was missing, no one forgot her. not a single soul. she wasnt forgotten, people still cared and were looking for her and keeping her name out there. and when she was found, it was a punch in the gut to the entire state. we all wanted so badly to believe that she was still alive, still out there, that she would come home. and there's still yet to be justice. its not fair. it isnt fair at all. i will never forget her name. i will never forget Ebby Steppach. she's in my heart, and in the hearts of everyone in the state of arkansas.
Now this is my kind of channel!😍 ahhhh I am so excited. Binge watching starts NOW!
This case is absolutely infuriating. What are you doing when you’re failing at your job in everything that’s done? Ugh😡
Catherine Martin if you like this you might like cayleigh elise
Van Hamilton thank you!!!
Or Kendall Rae!!
I dont have much money because college. But ill support you in spirit! You look beautiful today!
Emily Ann there’s a $6 sticker too
Im REALLY broke... gotta save for that gas money!
Emily Ann girl, i COMPLETELY relate. $6 is $6, every cent counts toward gas, but when i can, i will definitely buy what i can.
I've lived in Arkansas my whole life and Little Rock is basically considered the shadow area in The Lion King, by a large chunk of people. So for them to deny the dangers there is insane to me. This is also the state that brought you The West Memphis. They put 3 teenage boys in prison for the murder of 3 little boys, even though evidence didn't point to them...just because they were goth in the early 90's when Satanic Panic was at its peak. Those 3 teenage boys grew into men in prison, one of which was on death row, and then Arkansas finally said "well I guess you guys can leave prison but you have to take an Alford Plea". People on death row don't just get to walk up outta prison unless the state is nervous about something...like oh I dunno, wrongful conviction...hence the Alford Plea. Otherwise they'd be entitled to a big chunk of change from Arkansas' pocket.
frustrates me how sloppy police work can be and the accusations they so lightly throw in the parents faces
In this case it looks more like deliberate sabotaging of the case by the police.
I'm sitting in this boring hospital room with my mom and something told me to check RUclips 😩🙌🏼 one of my fav channels
I hope everyone is ok!
Thank you both! We should hopefully be leaving around midnight 🤞🏼💕
The fact that the police department was saying, ‘sex trafficking doesn’t exist’, and ‘we have no gangs’, tells me they are involved in said things. I can’t imagine my daughter being missing and having that department trying to find her. Sickening.. ‘Protect and serve.’ 🙄😡
Who are these police that’s so called worked on Ebby’s case?! They should be fired! How heartbreaking for the parents. Makes me wonder that there’s corrupt police in Little Rock’s police force?!?!
Patricia Carter Um, no offense but...duh. There are corrupt police in every department. It's sad but the way these people are "trained" for their job, is simply subpar.
Corrupt cops are EVERYWHERE !
Fired - No charge them all as accomplices to the crime. Because no one helped the murderer get away more than they did!
And it's Arkansas.... home of the Clinton's! Billy boy was just named as being part of Jeff Epsteins cronies. The Clintons still have tons of influence back there and no body wants to get suicided
@@nyxspiritsong5557 lmao despite the fact that everyone wants to blame the clintons for anything bad that has ever taken place in the history of Arkansas, it has been well documented that LRPD is just highly corrupt. They always have been, even before Clinton himself
I’m a junior now at Central (the public school she switched too), and this case is still constantly talked about. It’s honestly heartbreaking. This whole situation is so messed up.
They found her remains in a drain pipe near her abandoned car. They confirmed it was her by dna from the teeth.
Honestly I’ve watched so many RUclipsrs who display this sort of content and after watching you for about a month now, i just can’t watch anyone else. Your content is phenomenal, the information is so detailed, and i can just really tell that you’ve spent a lot of time on each and every one of these cases. I admire the fact that you have two (beautiful) children and STILL make time to make your hallan fam videos and dedicate your time to helping bring these victims home. You’re truly inspirational, danelle!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have never untangled my headphones SOOOOO fast in my life!!
Was that crooked cop the father/uncle/godfather of one of those four boys? He must have had some motive to completely destroy all hope of solving this case...
It’s so wonderful to watch your channel grow❣️ I have been with you since the beginning and holy 🐄 it’s gotten big SO FAST! Congratulations 🍾
If I mess up my job I'd most likely get fired, And I sell shoes! I don't fabricate evidence which makes it hard to impossible to find a missing person. This is insane that he didn't get fired.
Watching this now, after reading the comments about finding Ebby’s body, this case is absolutely frustrating and disgusting. The entire police department that worked at the time of her disappearance should be sued. I don’t understand this at all. Like why?! The entire department should be ashamed. I don’t know how any of them sleep at night knowing they just didn’t do their jobs.
46 minutes! Time to get a cup of tea and watch one of my favorite channels! Danelle...I think I can speak for everyone when I say this...Thank you so much! The amount of time and work you put into these videos and generally your channel is incredible. I have really enjoyed watching your channel grow over the last year. Keep up the great work! ❤️
You're about to reach out 100k!!!!! Omg!! I started subscribing back when you only had 700 subscribers 💕 so happy for u
Her remains were found. I bet you it was some of those guys that assaulted her. So sad that theres no justice.
sounds like they should look at her weed dealer. where do people go to pick up? parks. at least everyone i know. thats also where you smoke when you can't at home. she was probably high and waiting to pick up and when she got out of the car for the exchange, they snatched her. thats my theory
Honestly love how you have merch that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I feel like most people do it to keep some of it and stuff. I never buy merch from people but you're one of the realest people on RUclips. And I'll definitely be buying one. Congratulations on almost hitting 100k. 💕
I have NEVER bought merch (other than Shane Dawson's) because the prices are always insane. I tried to do many price/quality points at realistic prices! Thank you so so much for the support❤
Danelle Hallan Please hurry and bring it back!! I am a new subby so missed out last time and I'm really sad cos I want a hoody!! 😂
For anyone who is wondering about the Little Rock Police Department, This is not out of the ordinary for them. They are very lazy and need to get it together. I live in Little Rock and let me tell y’all, you cannot depend on them because they will not get anything done, it’s very sad. Little Rock is chock-full of crime because of this. I fear this case will never be solved due to the absolute horrible work done by the LRPD.
Yes I agree, lots of cases come out of Little Rock. If anyone is interested and havent heard about the "boys on the tracks" case, it's another one out of Little Rock and shows thos police dept has been corrupt for decades.
@AL Cats bro I commented this two years ago. The reason I mentioned LRPD specifically is because Ebbie went missing in LR. I actually went to highschool with Ebbie at LR Central High and I grew up in that city all my childhood. It’s weird seeing someone you probably walked by everyday just disappear for awhile and turn up murdered and nothing ever happens with the case. I agree, it is everywhere that cops don’t do their job which has been extremely evident over the past year. However, I specifically brought up LRPD since it’s relevant to the case my guy.
@@jerricafajardo6089 another good case to show how terrible Arkansas police are (not just LRPD) is the west Memphis three.
Happy New Year! Please please look into Nieko Lisi! He's been missing since 2011 and his case is insane, the last person with him ended their life and they found his truck stripped states away. PLEASE cover it! His mom is devastated and they need help with exposure
I seriously hope they investigated the original officer that falsified all the 'evidence' I don't know if I've been watching too much Power but he sounds shifty as f*uck!!!! Why was he dragging his feet?? What was he trying to cover up?! It sounds like someone trying to conceal something. Does he know more? Is it a trafficking ring that people in power are involved in and he's trying to conceal it?! This story really got to me and her poor family 😩
The amount of negligence in this case is astounding. The poor family. 💔 I genuinely hope the police department uses this case in the future on what NOT to do for missing persons cases.
I was almost sex trafficked and got away...he tried to groom me...bought me tonnes of alcohol etc. we met at a bar...after I got drunk he asked me if I was interested in working over seas and I would make millions for a “pretty” girl like me...I even said ur a sex trafficker u want to like pimp me out...he said wats wrong with that? So crazy I’m so lucky..he let me answer my phone as well,,.i think this guy drugged her and waited until she was too fucked up and fell asleep or convinced her to go somewhere with him...I might actually do a story time on my story being that it’s human trafficking awareness month..also to add YOU HELPED ME SEE THESE SIGNS DANIELLE!! This literally just happened like 4 months ago!!!!!
I'm so glad you're ok! that's a really scary situation. I'm so glad it turned out ok
how does she not have more subs?? honestly she is so kind and sweet, its so good seeing youtubers using their relevance to raise awareness for missing people x
I'm from Little Rock and Ebby's story has recently developed. It's a huge deal here in West Little Rock. It's not entirely clear WHY police were led back to Chalamont park where her car was found, but human remains were found in a drainage pipe at that park yesterday, May 22 2018. It's not yet been confirmed that these are her remains, but the investigators were following her case and were given reason to search the drainage pipe for Ebby.
Another update: as of May 23, the remains found in the drainage pipe were confirmed as Ebby Steppach.
Tara Kolb Stefanie Osborne Maybe her body wasn't there for the searches... we had the same thing happen to a missing person in our community. Fishy as hell-
I almost wonder if the pos’s that assaulted her had some relation to the police in this case. It really reminds me of the Tera Calico case, where the police screw up over and over. My heart goes out to Ebby and her family. I hope she gets to come home soon. Great work in this, especially with the fund raiser.
This case is SO frustrating!
I had to stop watching it for a while because just over half way through I couldn't handle the frustration anymore.
As someone from this area, the “good old boy” mind set is engrained in a lot of our local police departments. Who do you get out of the car for and don’t turn it off? A police officer who walks up on you possibly smoking pot in your car. I don’t know a lot on the case, but if a police officer were to commit the crime, there’s a high chance that it would then be handled like this. Especially if one or more of those four boys was related to the police department.
I don’t know if this has been looked into at all or is even possible, but it is what my mind immediately jumped to.
Yeah, definitely, if one of the four knew a crooked cop though most seem crooked anyway, they could say she was going to spill the beans on them and that they need him to take her out completely. The vehicle was left on as you say, so that indicates intent to operate it shortly after maybe exiting. May she rest easy at least, maybe the guilty parties are likely not caught but hopefully justice is dealt soon!🤞
Coming back to this comment a year later- other options for why she may have left it running there- she could have exited the vehicle to walk up to another persons window to buy pot, if there weren’t bathrooms open she could have jumped out to go to the tree line to pee, or someone had made their presence known in the back seat of her vehicle and she jumped out scared out of her mind to run
You should collab with Kendall Rae. She does so many conspiracy theories and cases.
Charles Edward Saint John Omg totally! I would love to see that
They're two of the view RUclipsrs one can still watch these days
Please dont!!
I think it’d be cool for Bella, Kendall, and Danelle to collab in order to reach more people about a case BUT I don’t think any of them have a personality match to do it
do Bella Fiori
