I truly hope the grandfather doesn't blame himself for what happened. I know I would blame myself at least a little bit if I were in his shoes, but he couldn't have known the awful things that his son-in-law/nephew would do.
i hope he doesn’t blame himself. it’s easy for people to say he shouldn’t have returned the baby but i mean who wouldn’t? no one wants to believe that their family members can be so twisted that they kill their child.
When my son was born, after bringing him home, he started hiccuping. I panicked and called the hospital. The nurse hardly stopped herself from laughing and explained to me what to do. A mother’s love for her child, her instincts, everything tells her to protect her child. I was afraid of falling asleep while breast feeding him, I was afraid of hurting him while changing him. I could only sleep if my mom was looking after my son. I was extremely protective of him, still am. Cases involving kids are too much for me. I had to pause this video a few times just to get to the end. People have to be sick to hurt infants/kids.
@@sierrablock2329 just skip this video beautiful momma. I totally get what you mean, I can’t even begin to imagine my child in a dangerous situation. You’ll be a great mom for sure. :)
I'm with you on this! Just a few weeks before our son was born I began having horrible dreams of misplacing my son, forgetting about him, forgetting to feed him, just horrific dreams! Due to those dreams I began to think that I was going to be a monster to him. The whole thing really got me to the point I was going to be a failure of a Mother, that I wasn't worthy. Here I was crying , just a total mess. I handed it over to God to help me. I told myself I can do this. I'm going to be the best Momma ever. The day our son was born and gazing into those beautiful innocent eyes, at that moment God connected and I knew my dreams and self doubt was simply nerves. Nothing more. I cannot imagine how those 2 worthless humans could raise a child and savagely murder one. It's beyond me....
It’s incomprehensible to think about how hard the trauma would have to be to fracture the bones of a newborn. Sadly as someone who grew up in the south, in the woods hunting. I believe I know how that precious baby sustained those injuries and it’s disgusting
"Good old keep it in the family Pam" had me howling! I absolutely love your empathy and the respect you give the victims. You totally deserve so many more subs.
In spite of the seriousness of the case, I laughed so hard at that "good old keep it in the family Pam" I swear I vapor locked. Snorting like Porky Pig and braying like a donkey until I had tears. I think it just surprised me. Love this channel.
I totally thought the same thing when I heard her calling the babies name. Even the dispatcher asked, “How old is she again?” It was all part of her trying to play up the distraught mom thing. Also, why would Chris be looking for the baby in the woods? Again, SHE’S 2WEEKS OLD!! She’s not going to get up and walk out! These people are so stupid , and absolutely disgusting.
There's absolutely nothing funny about this case, but I had to laugh when Courtney started calling out her name, as if a 2 week old could respond. The stupidity is astounding. She knew exactly what happened to that poor, innocent baby!
In a state of panic no matter how old your kid is I can see someone calling out for their child. However when the dispatcher reminded her of her childs age that would have snapped most people into realizing the age of the baby. But it was speculated the mother was doing drugs as well...
Right!! That was crazy.. I initially thought ok, it’s a guttural maternal response… But then I’m like NAAAAHHH she’s being purposely dramatic and probably on God knows what kind of dope and doesn’t even realize how ridiculous she is in the attempt. What happened to this baby is shattering, these “parents” are beyond disgusting
If I wake up and my baby is missing, I become crazy, desperate as hell...take a nap? Some rest?...how you could?. My whole world is my son, I cannot imagine losing him. The worst nightmare ever!!!!!
He should have kept the kids longer... It's a shame but he should have known.... So sad... I'd feel so bad if I was the father... Knowing he was trying to do right but ....I bet he's in a lot of pain over this...
@@godisgreat9622 I agree. Meth addicts should not be allowed to raise children and he knew that they were incapable of even taking care of themselves. Someone has to be the adult and an advocate for these innocent babies. The justice system also failed…that loser should’ve been kept in prison for many years initially when he was committing multiple crimes.
I feel sorry for him too. Even though there’s something wrong with him too, especially because he didn’t bother to tell Cortney that Pam was her mother and she found out herself, at least he was willing to help Cortney and her own kids and other than all that was a decent dad.
As a retired firefighter paramedic who continued my medical training to be a forensic pathologist, I have seen a LOT of horrible things that people have done to people but my brain can not process the evil it took to create the level of injuries that baby endured. I pray that the majority of it was after she was already gone I couldn't help but process the horror I would have internalized if I had been the one to perform the autopsy. I recoiled when you described the hole where the skull had be and the liquified brain. My God I can see it in my minds eye. My prayers out to all the police, first responders and the pathology team in this case. This must have caused PTSD. I hope they were all able to forget what theyve seen.
Where are you a pathologist? What State I mean? I'm a forensic pathologist as well. Have old cases I'd like to collaborate with someone who knows the medi-co-legal conversation.
@@DouggeeBbbbbbbbbafter33 are you sure you’re a forensic pathologist? I work in the field and from my research, it appears as though you do work in the field but absolutely not as a pathologist or in a position to collaborate on cases. I’m sure this was your attempt to discredit another commenter but in doing so, it appears as though you’ve done so to yourself.
My daughter is going to start college soon and plans to enter this field. Any advice you'd like to offer? I told her in cases like this one therapy is one I'd suggest to help her stay strong. She said she wants victims to have a voice after theirs has been silenced and to put monsters away.
I tried to come up with another way to describe it but the closest I got was "tattoo mania." Doesn't quite fit but I can only imagine he was not in a "fit state of mind" when he added to that.....collage.
I would have given this asshole a new car full of drugs in exchange for the babies :( They needed someone to love and care for them. Some people do not deserve to be parents, then there are people who do, but can’t:(
Poor babies only chance was if she remained with her grandfather. But sadly he took pity on the wrong person 'the mother'. If he had just took pity on the defenseless baby, she would be alive and thriving now. He'll have to live the rest of his life knowing that.
Cases like this, Gabriel Fernandez, Sylvia Likens, and so many others make me physically sick. They're blood boiling and tear inducing. To family members like Tim, I hope they can find peace in some way. To the Pams - the ones who contributed to or did nothing when they knew... I hope they find what they deserve.
Really? I feel like she’d be posting like about loyalty and “her man” and then weirdly inappropriate sexual stuff that everyone wishes they had eye bleach for
That's how my mother is, especially with my health issues, she pretends to care so much online, yet complains so much to me about it and much more, I've unadded her on FB because its just ridiculous and annoying to see her "love me so much" 🙄
I swear to God girl, I've studied this case back and forth, watched hours of trials, hours of interrogations, hours of documentaries.. and you taught me tons of things I didn't even know! Your perspective is always fresh and your delivery is just exquisite. You have a gift. And I'm so glad we have your channel ❤
The autopsy report absolutely broke my heart. Here’s a quick explanation to possibly why the brain looked liquified when the skull was opened, coming from a med student: severe trauma to the baby’s skull must have caused necrosis of the brain which is called liquefactive necrosis (it basically transforms the tissue into a liquid mass). It typically occurs in the brain due to infection or ischaemia, as hydrolityc enzymes cause dissolution of cellular organelles. It sends shivers down my spine to even imagine how the doctor performing autopsy felt when they saw that, along with all those horrifying injuries to such a little baby
This was the hardest one from Danielle, for me. My son was born at 5lbs. He was so tiny I was scared of holding him, I thought if I just held him wrong he'd shattered. 5 lb baby is unbelievable small they are so helpless, my heart breaks, can't belive anyone let alone a parent hurt a little baby. I really hope they are treated the way they deserve for the rest of their sorry excuse of existence.
I was born a month early and only weighed 5lbs. My mom can't watch the earliest home videos of me because it brings back the fear she felt over whether or not I would survive. I'm 30 now and she still calls me her "angel baby" because I was a "miracle." 😢
My daughter weighed two pounds and two ounces. She stopped breathing three times. An intern was taking care of her and wouldn't give up. Every time she quit breathing, he resuscitated her. If she had been born any sooner, she wouldn't have survived. They were all ready to come and tell me she didn't make it. She lost a few ounces the first week to just under two pounds but quickly gained it back. She was in the hospital for a month. I lost a lot of blood and had to stay in bed for two weeks. She pulled through and is healthy.
Mine was born 5.75lb and he was so fragile and connected to so many tubes, I was terrified I would hurt him just trying to feed and fold him. This story breaks my heart 😢
It pisses me off that people that deserve children sometimes can't have them, and then there's PARENTS like this! Disgusted. Could never imagine hurting my kiddos. This was heartbreaking but thank you for covering this case with so much class. Honestly you always do the victims justice and tell stories that need to be told in such a humble way. Thank you Danielle. I recommend your channel all the time💯❤
@@Angelitaxx Kate I'm sure your heard dumber 🤣🤣🤣. Ppl gotta stop bringing up how they and others can't have kids when kids pass. That has nothing to do with the situation at hand period!
Currently crying my eyes out, I wear my ear buds and watch RUclips while I put my baby to sleep and I just finished this while holding him and as a parent I can't imagine how someone could be such a monster especially to a 15 DAY OLD baby. My heart breaks for her and her family. The mother should NEVER be allowed near her other daughter I don't care what the court thinks about her being guilty or not, I hope neither of them are allowed near the older child again. Danielle I respect you so much for the care you put into your videos and I just love that you are such a kind soul.
I had to hug my 2 year old. I have had bad postpartum since she was born but omg I never wanted to hurt her. I hugged her tighter and longer after hearing the autopsy
Oh be allowed to have any more children , with anyone , ever. Sad about the child but in this case the baby would be another criminal in a decade with that upbringing or be a victim of abuse, she's safe now.
I’ve been binge watching your channel I just discovered it a couple days ago and WOW. I’ve watched others big name true crime tellers and you truly are the best in the game. Your compassion , the way you tell the stories and included actual videos of your research is truly amazing! Just wanted to say that ❤
Me 3, not sure of her history on this channel but loving the approach. Learning good make up application and listening to true crime at the same time. She's got it spot on! 👌🏽😆🤩
This is truly one of the most disturbing cases I've ever heard. Completely monsters. All of them. I'm waiting patiently for your wholesome dragging of these people!
A perfect example of a Danielle wholesome drag is "Keep it in the family Pam" 😂 the facial expression and burn is there, but it's nicely said. 🤣🤣 it's perfect. We need keep it in the family Pam on a tshirt 🤣
Case suggestion!! Tiahleigh Palmer, she was a 12 year old Australian girl who was murdered by her foster father after the family found out she may have been pregnant with her 19 year old foster brother and didn’t want him getting in trouble. Her body was found about a week later and the whole family did jail time, foster father is still currently in jail.
I’m pregnant with my first baby. I’m so over protective and terrified of the world. This case has absolutely broken my heart. I can’t believe such evil exists, I can’t believe how much her own parents let her down. These were people who were supposed to protect and love her. I have no words that can express my pain. I think about any harm coming to my own baby and I would fight tooth and nail to protect her from anything or anybody. I just hope this Angel is resting in heaven. She never knew love or even had a chance to defend herself..
You can never be to over protective over your child . I can imagine and know how you feel. I have 2 kids now and when I first had my oldest omg the world is too evil for theses beautiful angels💚🍀
This beautiful baby is surrounded now with love, comfort, completely healed , never to suffer, she's in Heaven. I'm so sad , very sad . I wish this poor tiny baby had never suffered like this. This is a sickening evil case
Your fear will transform into a fierce protective instinct. I hope you find, as I did, that there is SO MUCH love in the world for babies and mothers and that you're not alone looking after your baby. Angels are everywhere.
You are absolutely right about Courtney’s facial expression after the phone call was replayed during the trial. She was so proud of her performance. Absolutely SICK!
I was in the hospital for 14 days after my son was born. It was a pretty traumatic emergency c-section, thats why it took me so long to be able to go home. Just to think that thats the time this little baby had on this earth all together, its truly upsetting..
@@AT-nq3sy I don’t think she doesn’t care I think she just has a dark sense of humor, I get it because I do too and ppl take it as not caring it’s more just my way of dealing with awkward situations.
@@spriggy4382 most people who choose adoption are looking for infants. Not so much the older kids in the system who are also in need of care and a loving home. It’s a shame but it’s reality
Just want to say something too - make sure you always take a time out and take care of your mental health, Danielle - dealing and researching with hard and heartbreaking cases like this can be a lot. I've seen way too many RUclipsrs bow out from this format after burnout dealing with such depressing cases. Lots of love.
Agreed. And it's better to take mini breaks from it when needed. I'm sure we'd all be here when she got back if she needed to take breaks once in a while.
Yes that was difficult to listen to him talk at the end. Sometimes I fast forward, so I don't have to hear it. Just have to be wary of your mental health, so it doesn't trigger anything that will take a toll on you.
“Good ol Pam”😂😂 that got me every time. Also, every child deserves loving parents but not every person deserves a child. People should not be able to procreate as easily as they do. Kids are young and innocent and vulnerable. They always get dragged into whatever problems their parents have. It’s awful and it’s unfair.
The fact that Courtney is free and walking the streets is extremely scary! She def was involved. Also, the justice system failed once again how can someone like Chris have such an extensive criminal history and repeatedly be released? He should have been in prison from the very beginning! So so sad 💔 rest in Heaven baby girl
@@janicebulman2382 People really need to listen until the very end! Her conviction was overturned after she only spent 3 years in prison! They decided there wasn't enough evidence to prove that she was involved.
@@janicebulman2382 What? How do you get that? Unless you never bothered to listen to this story until the end of the complete video. SMH Do yourself a favor & go back & listen to the last entire 15min of THIS video. Then you'll know why you got your statement wrong.
@@psychicrenegade sorry I was watching the trial when it happened more to watching the end of this video many apologies...I hope Courtney changes her lifestyle now she's out.
I am new here and I often stick to the same RUclipsrs I’ve been watching for a long time but I am definitely a new subscriber here! As tragic as this case is, you told the story so well and respectfully. The passion you feel for this poor baby girl is so real ❤
I can normally make it through hearing victim injuries, but this one got me. That poor medical examiner. Please take a moment to protect your peace Danielle. Cuddle your puppy and hubby.
It’s always absolutely awful when it comes to children. It’s not easy to talk about and even more difficult to research and find all the information. But you do this with such grace and poise. As always, I very much appreciate you and look forward to your videos. Also, you’re so adorable, I love your makeup 🥺💜
That poor baby. She deserved so much better. Based on babies' injuries, I think she probably wouldn't take her bottle, and someone lost their temper. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This case absolutely broke my heart; hearing that autopsy report instantly made me cry. RIP, little angel; you didn't deserve anything your disgusting parents put you through. 🕊🕊💔
"Good ol' Pam. Keep it in the family Pam" 🤣 Idk exactly how involved Courtney actually was in the death, but either way she did nothing to prevent this so she can rot right along with Chris in my opinion. Side Note... Your make-up is absolutely beautiful today girl ❤️ You look stunning!
I’ve just literally seen a clip of this on Facebook and wanted to see what the story was then came across your video. Omg you’re brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻 I absolutely love delving into true crime stories so finding your channel has absolutely made my day. ❤
Absolutely horrifying, this is absolutely one of the most disturbing cases I’ve ever heard. To think anyone could do something like that, especially to a such a little baby, absolutely vile. That poor little baby girl, may she rip and all those who loved her find as much peace and healing as possible, heartbreaking
I struggled to leave my babies with even my most trusted relatives. When they were newborns there was no way I could. I know everyone is different and some people have no choice but for the most part, I feel it’s a thing that most mothers struggle with in the beginning. I know a lot of my mum friends have said the first time they went out to socialise or to work after the birth, all they thought about was their baby and couldn’t wait to get back to them. The fact they left their 2 wk old for 4 days without a thought is definitely at odds with how most new parents usually act. RIP little Angel, you deserved so much more.
I think i love your true crime videos the most bc u focus on the victism just as much as the criminals. You remember them and tell people their lives, no matter how short. Love your content, youre a great story teller.
RIP Caliyah! Tim the grandfather sounded like a good man who was trying to do the best he could. I hope he has custody of Clarrisa his other granddaughter. As far as Courtney goes, she should be fixed never to have children again, while she is alive and breathing. I still can't believe she got released. She should had been handed all the same charges, just like Christopher had gotten.
It's insane for me someone involved in the death of a 2 week baby has the capacity to keep having children. WTF, she should at the very least be sterilized and to NEVER be around children again
This case brought tears to my eyes. I remember when my daughters were newborns, and thinking about what that poor girl went through… It’s just awful. How could anybody do that to such a sweet little thing?
Omg!! You are absolutely right about her face after hearing the call!! It’s literally like she’s trying soooo hard not to laugh or smile!! She definitely had a case of dooper’s delight I believe.
Completely sick! What’s even more disgusting is the baby was only in their custody for maybe 5-6 days of her life! Spent 4 in the hospital, 2 at the cousin’s and about 3 with her dad. I’m still on the fence if the mom had anything to do with the actual murder. I do however think she knew something. Pour little girl had no chance. 😢
I think she absolutely knew. In the 911 call she started explaining herself before stating why she was calling. "I just woke up, my daughter woke me up on the couch" as if she is trying to establish an alabi. It seems to be a trend amongst guilty people in 911 calls.
Some people are truly not meant to be parents and it’s scary that just about anyone CAN be . I’d say give the baby up for adoption , but we’ve heard horror stories of that too 🥺
@@lexus1802 It makes me mad that the grandfather was willing to take care of the children but the parents didn't just let the grandpa take care of the children. These are the cases that, while being adopted by grandparents is hard for children, it's way better for the children.
@@blahblahblah4544 ya I never understand that either ! Majority of the time , these children have family members or friends that would be happy to help . And poor Grandpa in this case . Things could’ve been different forsure
Well, a lot of people don't seem to have a love for children. They want to believe a child only exists when they're born. Ignoring that most children have a life of 38 weeks on this earth before birth. And have their own unique DNA since conception. People are too desensitized to killing. Explains how a mother could turn a blind eye to the brutal murder of her newly born child. Only a few weeks prior to the birth, she could've demanded her own child be lawfully brutally killed. Life has been devalued. People are taught from a young age that they have a right to abuse the undefended.
So my husband has a theory that Pam could possibly be Chris's mom as well. She has several kids that she has not raised. Most have been raised by their fathers, the oldest by her parents. One son was put in foster care after his father died and her and her bf at the time were arrested for fighting, she has another daughter that didn't know pam is her mom.
That smile you’re talking about given from Courtney after the phone calls is called “dupers delight” and it when the person think they got away with what they said and can’t help but smirk at their performance
i’m a true crime fanatic. have been for over a decade now. i’ve read, seen, heard and researched the most vile cases…yet this one really shook me. props to danielle for keeping her composure whilst explaining this case. i know i wouldn’t be able to. rest in paradise, sweet child ❤
I lost my sweet baby girl McKenzie several years ago and I would give ANYTHING to have her back. Then I see these two POS have no regard for the precious miracle they had made. My heart is breaking into a million pieces for this sweet little one. RIP
I met a guy at a party and he asked me out. When I told my mom what his name was she said we have family with that last name. I thought there’s no chance we are related. When he came to pick me up he walked in the door and immediately said YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!!! We discovered we were second cousins. 😂 We burst out laughing. We still went and got something to eat and kept talking about about how we were cousins and what a close call we had. We laughed a lot about “kissing cousins”. No we never kissed! But it was hilarious. That’s my story about how I almost dated my cousin 😂.
That's the difference tho lol Most people find out they're related and instantly that 'EW, OMG could you imagine 🤣??' mentality sets in and you throw out all attraction and thoughts of procreation, right tf out the window. Courtney and Chris? Well, they're a different breed I guess... ha, BREED... im funny...
@@lovelybones8179 as long as you don't plan on having kids with your cousin, there's nothing wrong with dating him/her. Especially, second/third cousins. Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Philip were second cousins on one side, third cousins on the other side. And, they had four healthy children!
@@reneenayfabulous 🛑 STOP 🛑 So ONE couple had healthy children... Out of how many generations of royal families having hemophilia and syncope and other horrible deformations. STOP ADVOCATING INCEST!
This happened to me too...except it was a third cousin. Once I found out, it all made sense because he looked just like his uncle. But yeah....we didn't go out again after that LOL
This case is so sick. Thank you for covering this and bringing awareness. I hope that Cortney’s father and their other daughter can live a better life without these monsters in them. Thank you for your strength, Danielle. Talking about and researching such things can really take their tool on someone. Take care 🖤
Just subscribed. I don't normally like these types of stories but you tell them as if I'm reading a really great novel. And the bonus is getting to see you do your makeup. Love it! You're so good at both. Thx, Patty 😊
Absolutely despicable people and I cannot even imagine the guilt and horror that poor grandfather must be feeling. He had these children in his protection, but because he felt for another parent he gave them back... I can't even bear to think about it.
Danielle, you have presented us with some terrible crimes but when they involve children it is most heartbreaking. However, todays has to be the most horrific display of inhumanity yet. Anyone who views your videos can plainly see how they affect you. Your empathy, caring and truly loving soul is nearly stretched to it's breaking point with this one. The mere horror in the events that you had to read, watch & investigate in order to relay the story to us is inconceiveable. We do want to thank you for your throughness in all your videos. So much of the background is never mentioned in it's entirety, with you it is. Thank you.
The best part of Chris’s sentencing was when he kept denying he killed his daughter the judge asked him what sentence the person who did do it should receive then pretty much gave him that sentence by sentencing him to life.
Thank you for covering this tragic case so compassionately, my prayers will include you, the beautiful baby, and her grandfather/other caring family members. Every night. New subscriber, you do a wonderful job.
I've been a true crime enthusiast for decades... before it became a "thing." I've watched 100's of true crime shows, true crime videos, podcasts, & read more books than I can even begin to count. I'm a nurse and a mother. As a nurse you deal with death really often and so, while not loosing compassion, you do learn to "compartmentalize" in order to not burn out and still be a normal human being. But there are some things you just can't "compartmentalize." This case is just that & it completely took my breath away. I think anyone who can hurt "innocents" ( I include children, disabled, and animals in this group) are pure evil. Innocents can't defend themselves, they can't tell someone, they can't cry out for help & worse( obviously) is hurting a baby, a newborn baby...they are the definition of innocence. They didn't ask to be brought into the world or into your lives, they've done nothing wrong but breathe... this. I'm not usually lost for words but I'm lost for the "right" words b/c there are no "right" words to say and yet I'm so filled with emotion after hearing this, I feel the need to voice my words, even if they are jumbled & chaotic. Anyone who can look @ the beautiful, brand new face of a FIFTEEN DAY OLD BABY, your OWN baby, & end their life in the most HORRIFIC way that this precious little girl had hers ended isn't human. They are pure, narcissistic, depraved, evil, monsters. The last thing she saw was the face of Satan, who unfortunately, was her father. This case has left me needing a break from true crime. It's horrific and the only way I can reconcile any of it in my brain is knowing just how badly other inmates hate baby killers. I hope every single day, for the rest of his pathetic life, someone shows him just a small piece of what this innocent baby suffered. I hope her face shows up in his dreams & her cries haunt him relentlessly. I believe that there is a very special place in hell for Chris. And for the mother of this child who did nothing, AT ALL, to save her. I can't, as a mother of GROWN children, wrap my head around mothers allowing monsters to hurt their children~ I would fight someone TO THE DEATH for mine. My heart is broken 💔 for this baby who didn't have a single day of love in her 15 days on earth by the 2 people who should've loved her the most...I can't reconcile this in my heart even though I believe in God and I KNOW she is whole and perfect again in His arms, there are some things I just can't reconcile in my 💕. Thank you for covering this story as it brings awareness to a broken justice system- Chris was never FORCED by anyone, it seems, to face consequences- EVER. It brings attention to drug abuse and the ripple effect it has on everyone around you and finally- most importantly, it brings attention to Domestic Violence and child abuse. It was clear to see that this case affected you as much as it did me and the rest of your followers. Thank you for being the voice of this beautiful baby🤍🕊
Very well said. The part about him not being human is EXACTLY how I feel. There's no possible way a human FATHER could do this to a precious innocent baby! I believe in God, as well as Karma and he will suffer for what he's done! We may never know it, but I have comfort in knowing that karma's a real b#%*~
This just shows that, just because you're intrigued with true crime, doesn't mean you lack compassion, empathy, sympathy..I'm definitely in that category. Every now and then there's a crime that still shocks you to the core, this being one of them...:(
I'm sure you feel the same against smoking (methamphetamine), alcohol, and all drug taking since these two parents are addicted, which facilitates their abuse and neglect. You must really hat smoking and drug use that makes this father the devil. I agree, smoking, alcohol, and meth bring out demonic behavior.
Danielle.. You told this horrible story w so much compassion. You never seem to lose your empathy or respect for the victims and their families in these very difficult cases. Thank you. My heart is aching for this precious baby, her big sister, and her grandpa...who will be in my prayers♡♡
Hi Danielle 😁❤️✌️ Case Suggestion 🚨🚨🚨 Emer O Loughlins Murder...Her killer is still on the run wanted by Interpol! Her killer faked his own death and has been on the run ever since ! Her family have been trying to high light her case over the years but it's been forgotten about !! Emer was from Co Clare in Ireland ❤️❤️ It would be great if you could cover this case ! Love your videos 💞💞💞
Goodness, I would be interested in this as haven't heard. I have relative's from Co Clare, many a year ago now dear. Thank you for commenting on this 👍🇭🇲🙏
Omg you KNOW that grandpa had to felt more guilty than anything in the WORLD for giving these horrible people those kids back. I would never forgive myself.
I've seen this episode a couple of times and every time you say they were cousins all I hear in my head is the scene from Mean Girls "So there's your cousins, then your first cousins....." 🤣 classic 👌
Many American states inflict this harm on thousands of babies every year. They , legally, abort babies up to the day of birth in what they call partial birth abortions. The baby is then killed and dismembered. So while this tragedy saw two evil parents imprisoned, many states commit vile murder all the time on babies.
Hey Danielle ! I recently discovered this heart wrenching case I’d love to what you cover! It’s a little girl called Arianna fits. Ariannas mother was brutally murdered in 2016 in San Francisco but there hasn’t been any sights of little arianna since! This case is so interesting as not only is it the tragic murder of Ariannas poor mother Nicole, but it’s also the confusing disappearance of littler arianna! I’d love to hear someone cover this story and it’s been stuck on my mind for ages now🤧
People that can take the weakest and most innocent such as children, animals, and the elderly, and can abuse or harm them really deserve a different kind of punishment.
I listen to a lot of true crime, and the way you tell a case makes it feel much more personal than other people. All other people i listen to call these people monsters and get angry, but you get emotional. I am not an emotional man, but every time you get choked up recounting someone's horrific abuse, I start to get a little choked up and can feel that true and raw emotions you let out. Thank you for your videos, and thank you even more for your compassion to these unfortunate victims.
Case suggestion: Mickey Shunick in Lafayette, LA in 2012. She was a beautiful college student who was killed but because of how hard she fought and the damage she caused before she was killed, her killer was found. It’s a sad but uplifting story about a brave girl and a town that came together for their own. I worked with her mother and you couldn’t find a more wonderful and loving family and community. There is an amazing amount of research available on the case. I would love to see you cover it because your empathy would do her justice. Thanks Danielle! Love you channel so much!
Absolutely heartbreaking, and the autopsy was horrifying. If only the poor children stayed with their grandfather. RIP Caliah, you would've been 5 if you were still alive, maybe starting Kindergarten and beginning a new life.
I always thought that Courtney actually did it and framed Chris, just because if you listen to their conversations when he was in jail before she was arrested, he sounded genuinely surprised at what she was saying. There’s just something about her that makes me believe it was more her than him. I think he did help her hide the baby’s body though.
Exactly. Right next to their trailer, in the tree line. Inside of the bag he carried every single day according to Courtney. Wrapped in his tshirts..I hate his guts...but it's all very suspicious.
He could of been hollering I didn’t do it because he had helped her hide the baby and knew no one would believe him. Either way, they both belong in jail. Their both guilty for one reason or another
The part about the teeth just rended my heart in twain. I hope that poor little lost soul doesn't remember a solitary thing about being in this cursed world.
As if this case didn't make me sick enough, especially the autopsy findings, but seeing that precious baby's picture and she's wearing a sleeper that says "Daddy's girl"!!! Just sickening!!! I agree with you about the mother being involved!! She didn't even sound upset on the 911 call!! And her hollering for her 15 day old baby was beyond odd!! I definitely think she played a part somehow, some way!! I'm shocked that he hasn't turned on her yet. Especially since she got out ! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️
Rest in peace lil caliyah 😭..you deserved so much better 🥺...in the middle of all this imagine how that poor grandfather felt 🥺. I hope and pray that Tim is granted full custody of Clarissa . Honestly Courtney and Chris were horrible human beings .
Thank you for doing this. Baby Caliyah deserves, at the very least, to have people know what happened to her. It's extremely troubling no doubt. But we can't face these monsters if we don't know what they are capable of.
I'm a new subscriber and I just want to say you do an amazing job covering these stories. Although a few of them are cases, I've already heard you do a good job at including new details I haven't heard before. Such as in this case, I have heard of this case before, but I never realized their child was born September 23rd, nor have I ever heard anyone mention her mole // birthmark, which, although it's not a significant fact, I too was born on September 23rd and have a birthmark in the exact same spot... My heart goes out to the little girl who had her life taken too soon, and all the family that truly cared for her
I heard this case covered by another youtuber a while ago and they had mentioned one thing that I didn’t hear you say that I also thought was especially disgusting. When they got the call about the baby being found Courtney asked if they could basically stop at the drug dealers house before going to check on her baby. That’s how I know she had to know that Abby was already gone. My heart breaks for their children and for their Dads who tried so hard to raise them into contributing adults. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work.

@@DeviceAnathema sorry I believe I was trying to say baby but my thumbs went dyslexic for the evening. All the right letters in the wrong order. Sorry for the confusion. Lol
I love your content! I have a case suggestion too. Melissa Benoit case in Kingston Massachusetts. In the early 90’s she was a 13 yr old murdered by a Sunday school teacher when she walked to visit her fathers grave. It was a huge case back then and there is a ton of info online but for some reason no one else has featured it in the true crime genre. You should spear head this case!
I'm watching the trial now. The guy that Chris tried to accuse is testifying. He mentioned that Chris was beating on this guy Matt, using brass knuckles. It made me think about when you talked about the gash under her eye from a sharp object 😓
I feel so bad not only for the baby but can you imagine how the grandfather feels having returned the children to the parents. Poor man
I truly hope the grandfather doesn't blame himself for what happened. I know I would blame myself at least a little bit if I were in his shoes, but he couldn't have known the awful things that his son-in-law/nephew would do.
😅
Tight
This was my thought - the grandpa is probably suffering. Poor man.
i hope he doesn’t blame himself. it’s easy for people to say he shouldn’t have returned the baby but i mean who wouldn’t? no one wants to believe that their family members can be so twisted that they kill their child.
When my son was born, after bringing him home, he started hiccuping. I panicked and called the hospital. The nurse hardly stopped herself from laughing and explained to me what to do. A mother’s love for her child, her instincts, everything tells her to protect her child. I was afraid of falling asleep while breast feeding him, I was afraid of hurting him while changing him. I could only sleep if my mom was looking after my son. I was extremely protective of him, still am. Cases involving kids are too much for me. I had to pause this video a few times just to get to the end. People have to be sick to hurt infants/kids.
I just had my son and I can’t even finish this video. My heart is in my throat and I feel awful thinking about that poor baby
@@sierrablock2329 just skip this video beautiful momma. I totally get what you mean, I can’t even begin to imagine my child in a dangerous situation. You’ll be a great mom for sure. :)
Yes!I was scared to touch my son !I was listening if he is breathing!Jesus..those ppl
You are an idiot!
I'm with you on this! Just a few weeks before our son was born I began having horrible dreams of misplacing my son, forgetting about him, forgetting to feed him, just horrific dreams! Due to those dreams I began to think that I was going to be a monster to him. The whole thing really got me to the point I was going to be a failure of a Mother, that I wasn't worthy. Here I was crying , just a total mess. I handed it over to God to help me. I told myself I can do this. I'm going to be the best Momma ever. The day our son was born and gazing into those beautiful innocent eyes, at that moment God connected and I knew my dreams and self doubt was simply nerves. Nothing more. I cannot imagine how those 2 worthless humans could raise a child and savagely murder one. It's beyond me....
Hearing the autopsy report of that poor baby breaks me. I can’t imagine the pain she suffered.
It’s incomprehensible to think about how hard the trauma would have to be to fracture the bones of a newborn.
Sadly as someone who grew up in the south, in the woods hunting. I believe I know how that precious baby sustained those injuries and it’s disgusting
"Good old keep it in the family Pam" had me howling!
I absolutely love your empathy and the respect you give the victims. You totally deserve so many more subs.
In spite of the seriousness of the case, I laughed so hard at that "good old keep it in the family Pam" I swear I vapor locked. Snorting like Porky Pig and braying like a donkey until I had tears. I think it just surprised me. Love this channel.
So sad 😭😭
Frr
this sent me too! 🤣 awful woman, but she just referenced her so funny.
I totally thought the same thing when I heard her calling the babies name. Even the dispatcher asked, “How old is she again?” It was all part of her trying to play up the distraught mom thing. Also, why would Chris be looking for the baby in the woods? Again, SHE’S 2WEEKS OLD!! She’s not going to get up and walk out! These people are so stupid , and absolutely disgusting.
There's absolutely nothing funny about this case, but I had to laugh when Courtney started calling out her name, as if a 2 week old could respond. The stupidity is astounding. She knew exactly what happened to that poor, innocent baby!
In a state of panic no matter how old your kid is I can see someone calling out for their child. However when the dispatcher reminded her of her childs age that would have snapped most people into realizing the age of the baby. But it was speculated the mother was doing drugs as well...
Right!! That was crazy.. I initially thought ok, it’s a guttural maternal response… But then I’m like NAAAAHHH she’s being purposely dramatic and probably on God knows what kind of dope and doesn’t even realize how ridiculous she is in the attempt. What happened to this baby is shattering, these “parents” are beyond disgusting
Exactly
If I wake up and my baby is missing, I become crazy, desperate as hell...take a nap? Some rest?...how you could?. My whole world is my son, I cannot imagine losing him. The worst nightmare ever!!!!!
"Good ole' keep it in the family Pam" 😂😂😂 that was hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
I literally laughed at that 😂
@@Katariina_Lindqvist I read this exchange here ahead of time so I knew it was coming, and I STILL laughed, then laughed at myself too! 🤣☮️
i kept laughing every time she said it
This was the worst. I watched the trial and the autopsy report was just horrifying. I felt so sorry for Cortney's Dad, Tim. He tried so hard.
He should have kept the kids longer... It's a shame but he should have known.... So sad... I'd feel so bad if I was the father... Knowing he was trying to do right but ....I bet he's in a lot of pain over this...
@@godisgreat9622 how was he supposed to have “known” this would happen? Please tell me you’re not blaming Tim here.
@@sarahr2373 I'm not blaming him but I'm sure he's living with the guilt .. when she just left the kids , it should have raised a big flag
@@godisgreat9622 I agree. Meth addicts should not be allowed to raise children and he knew that they were incapable of even taking care of themselves. Someone has to be the adult and an advocate for these innocent babies. The justice system also failed…that loser should’ve been kept in prison for many years initially when he was committing multiple crimes.
I feel sorry for him too. Even though there’s something wrong with him too, especially because he didn’t bother to tell Cortney that Pam was her mother and she found out herself, at least he was willing to help Cortney and her own kids and other than all that was a decent dad.
As a retired firefighter paramedic who continued my medical training to be a forensic pathologist, I have seen a LOT of horrible things that people have done to people but my brain can not process the evil it took to create the level of injuries that baby endured.
I pray that the majority of it was after she was already gone
I couldn't help but process the horror I would have internalized if I had been the one to perform the autopsy.
I recoiled when you described the hole where the skull had be and the liquified brain. My God I can see it in my minds eye.
My prayers out to all the police, first responders and the pathology team in this case. This must have caused PTSD. I hope they were all able to forget what theyve seen.
Where are you a pathologist? What State I mean? I'm a forensic pathologist as well. Have old cases I'd like to collaborate with someone who knows the medi-co-legal conversation.
Thank you for your service ❤
@@DouggeeBbbbbbbbbafter33 are you sure you’re a forensic pathologist? I work in the field and from my research, it appears as though you do work in the field but absolutely not as a pathologist or in a position to collaborate on cases.
I’m sure this was your attempt to discredit another commenter but in doing so, it appears as though you’ve done so to yourself.
My daughter is going to start college soon and plans to enter this field. Any advice you'd like to offer? I told her in cases like this one therapy is one I'd suggest to help her stay strong. She said she wants victims to have a voice after theirs has been silenced and to put monsters away.
This. 100%
Calling chris's unhinged collection of meaningless face tattoos a "tattoo journey" made me laugh out loud. I really needed that 😅
I tried to come up with another way to describe it but the closest I got was "tattoo mania." Doesn't quite fit but I can only imagine he was not in a "fit state of mind" when he added to that.....collage.
Tattoo craze, tattoo frenzy lol that's someone who has no future employment plans lol
Tattoo journey is definitely a fun way to describe his lovely collection(?) he has going for him
Thanks for covering this case. I watched the trial with tears streaming down my face. That poor little baby had NO chance at all in this world.
Not with them 😢😖
I would have given this asshole a new car full of drugs in exchange for the babies :( They needed someone to love and care for them. Some people do not deserve to be parents, then there are people who do, but can’t:(
what did you watch it on
Poor babies only chance was if she remained with her grandfather. But sadly he took pity on the wrong person 'the mother'. If he had just took pity on the defenseless baby, she would be alive and thriving now. He'll have to live the rest of his life knowing that.
@@keepitreal5941 exactly! It always baffles me when someone sides with an adult instead of the defenseless babies.
Cases like this, Gabriel Fernandez, Sylvia Likens, and so many others make me physically sick. They're blood boiling and tear inducing. To family members like Tim, I hope they can find peace in some way. To the Pams - the ones who contributed to or did nothing when they knew... I hope they find what they deserve.
33:37 "and then who shows up? Pam. good ole pam, good ole keep it in the family pam" im truly busted out laughing
Courtney high key got that energy of the woman who posts on facebook all the time how her kids are her life and in reality is the worst mom you know.
If you feel the need to advertise My KiDs ArE mY WoRLd, they're probably not.
Who is that?😊
Really? I feel like she’d be posting like about loyalty and “her man” and then weirdly inappropriate sexual stuff that everyone wishes they had eye bleach for
@@Sarah-re7cg especially right after a post about her kids. Like a sneak attack.
That's how my mother is, especially with my health issues, she pretends to care so much online, yet complains so much to me about it and much more, I've unadded her on FB because its just ridiculous and annoying to see her "love me so much" 🙄
Having ‘daddy’s girl’ on her little pink baby grow is just the most twisted, disgusting yet saddest thing. RIP little Angel. Safe at last ❤
Yes, I felt the same when I heard Chris Watts daughter singing "My daddy is my hero" in the footage. Heartbreaking.
I swear to God girl, I've studied this case back and forth, watched hours of trials, hours of interrogations, hours of documentaries.. and you taught me tons of things I didn't even know! Your perspective is always fresh and your delivery is just exquisite. You have a gift. And I'm so glad we have your channel ❤
A heartbreaking case :( Rest in peace, sweet angel. You were robbed of a chance to live.
The autopsy report absolutely broke my heart. Here’s a quick explanation to possibly why the brain looked liquified when the skull was opened, coming from a med student: severe trauma to the baby’s skull must have caused necrosis of the brain which is called liquefactive necrosis (it basically transforms the tissue into a liquid mass). It typically occurs in the brain due to infection or ischaemia, as hydrolityc enzymes cause dissolution of cellular organelles.
It sends shivers down my spine to even imagine how the doctor performing autopsy felt when they saw that, along with all those horrifying injuries to such a little baby
Thanks! Do you know how quickly liquefactive necrosis begins to occur or takes to complete? I’ll probably end of down a weird rabbit hole later LOL
He’s so disgusting for doing that! 🤢🤮 this guy (Chris McNabb is so disgusting for what he did to that infant!)
Not even half way, and I’m so disgusted I could 🤢 🤮 (barf).
KoKin didn’t see you felt the same.
Nice make up Danielle
This was the hardest one from Danielle, for me. My son was born at 5lbs. He was so tiny I was scared of holding him, I thought if I just held him wrong he'd shattered. 5 lb baby is unbelievable small they are so helpless, my heart breaks, can't belive anyone let alone a parent hurt a little baby. I really hope they are treated the way they deserve for the rest of their sorry excuse of existence.
My boyfriend was only 3 pounds 😭 premature twin
I was born a month early and only weighed 5lbs. My mom can't watch the earliest home videos of me because it brings back the fear she felt over whether or not I would survive. I'm 30 now and she still calls me her "angel baby" because I was a "miracle." 😢
My daughter weighed two pounds and two ounces. She stopped breathing three times. An intern was taking care of her and wouldn't give up. Every time she quit breathing, he resuscitated her. If she had been born any sooner, she wouldn't have survived. They were all ready to come and tell me she didn't make it.
She lost a few ounces the first week to just under two pounds but quickly gained it back.
She was in the hospital for a month.
I lost a lot of blood and had to stay in bed for two weeks.
She pulled through and is healthy.
Mine was born 5.75lb and he was so fragile and connected to so many tubes, I was terrified I would hurt him just trying to feed and fold him. This story breaks my heart 😢
Aww Jesus Christ (God) loves you so much❤ @@kjaxthegrate
It pisses me off that people that deserve children sometimes can't have them, and then there's PARENTS like this! Disgusted. Could never imagine hurting my kiddos. This was heartbreaking but thank you for covering this case with so much class. Honestly you always do the victims justice and tell stories that need to be told in such a humble way. Thank you Danielle. I recommend your channel all the time💯❤
Some that can't have them shouldn't have them. It's a reason for everything
@@Dom-xd6mddumbest analogy i’ve ever heard in my life. So by that there was a reason a newborn baby died?
@@Angelitaxx Kate I'm sure your heard dumber 🤣🤣🤣. Ppl gotta stop bringing up how they and others can't have kids when kids pass. That has nothing to do with the situation at hand period!
@@Angelitaxx Some that can't have them don't need them like I said. If u can't have kids just say that's why u commented tf
@@Dom-xd6md exactly. Yup. I know someone that can’t have kids and it’s a good thing. Very much so a good thing.
Currently crying my eyes out, I wear my ear buds and watch RUclips while I put my baby to sleep and I just finished this while holding him and as a parent I can't imagine how someone could be such a monster especially to a 15 DAY OLD baby. My heart breaks for her and her family. The mother should NEVER be allowed near her other daughter I don't care what the court thinks about her being guilty or not, I hope neither of them are allowed near the older child again. Danielle I respect you so much for the care you put into your videos and I just love that you are such a kind soul.
I had to hug my 2 year old. I have had bad postpartum since she was born but omg I never wanted to hurt her. I hugged her tighter and longer after hearing the autopsy
Oh be allowed to have any more children , with anyone , ever. Sad about the child but in this case the baby would be another criminal in a decade with that upbringing or be a victim of abuse, she's safe now.
@@moiramarriott4403 excuse me?
When my daughter was a baby, I couldn't watch these cases. This case is just heartbreaking.
@@nonyabiznez38 I held my little one while just crying I still struggle with post partum but I could never imagine doing something so awful.
I’ve been binge watching your channel I just discovered it a couple days ago and WOW. I’ve watched others big name true crime tellers and you truly are the best in the game. Your compassion , the way you tell the stories and included actual videos of your research is truly amazing! Just wanted to say that ❤
Same, I just found her and I’m loving the videos!
Me 3, not sure of her history on this channel but loving the approach. Learning good make up application and listening to true crime at the same time. She's got it spot on! 👌🏽😆🤩
@@rosienewatson191I totally agree! I like how she pronounces “says” 😊
This is truly one of the most disturbing cases I've ever heard. Completely monsters. All of them. I'm waiting patiently for your wholesome dragging of these people!
I love this!! wholesome drag hahahah
@@Anaonfire Danielle has just mastered the art of tearing these monsters down in the most wholesome way possible and I live for it 😂
Probably p
Truly.
A perfect example of a Danielle wholesome drag is "Keep it in the family Pam" 😂 the facial expression and burn is there, but it's nicely said. 🤣🤣 it's perfect. We need keep it in the family Pam on a tshirt 🤣
Case suggestion!! Tiahleigh Palmer, she was a 12 year old Australian girl who was murdered by her foster father after the family found out she may have been pregnant with her 19 year old foster brother and didn’t want him getting in trouble. Her body was found about a week later and the whole family did jail time, foster father is still currently in jail.
would die to see this case?? super intrigued
Sounds like an interesting case.
I haven’t yet seen anyone covering this!!!
Anna covered already this case… you Can follow her on you tube.. she got different Pages tackles crime investigations…
@@siouxd799 look at Mike from that chapter he's covered it
"good old keep it in the family Pam!" 😭😭😭😭😭🤣
I’m pregnant with my first baby. I’m so over protective and terrified of the world. This case has absolutely broken my heart. I can’t believe such evil exists, I can’t believe how much her own parents let her down. These were people who were supposed to protect and love her. I have no words that can express my pain. I think about any harm coming to my own baby and I would fight tooth and nail to protect her from anything or anybody. I just hope this Angel is resting in heaven. She never knew love or even had a chance to defend herself..
Hey! Congratulations! I wish you all the health and happiness possible. Much love to you, enjoy your time with your little one! ♥️
You can never be to over protective over your child . I can imagine and know how you feel. I have 2 kids now and when I first had my oldest omg the world is too evil for theses beautiful angels💚🍀
Most mothers would willingly give their very life to save their child's life! What's wrong with some of these moms???
This beautiful baby is surrounded now with love, comfort, completely healed , never to suffer, she's in Heaven. I'm so sad , very sad . I wish this poor tiny baby had never suffered like this. This is a sickening evil case
Your fear will transform into a fierce protective instinct. I hope you find, as I did, that there is SO MUCH love in the world for babies and mothers and that you're not alone looking after your baby. Angels are everywhere.
You are absolutely right about Courtney’s facial expression after the phone call was replayed during the trial. She was so proud of her performance. Absolutely SICK!
I was in the hospital for 14 days after my son was born. It was a pretty traumatic emergency c-section, thats why it took me so long to be able to go home. Just to think that thats the time this little baby had on this earth all together, its truly upsetting..
I love how Danielle has not lost her empathy for the victims even after she blew up like some of these true crime channels.lots of love from 🇰🇪
totally agree!
Mambo?I see my MOTHERLAND flag there will pause and come back watu wa Crime stories haki ni wengi .salamika
Like Bailey Sarian 🤮 but she never really had empathy anyways. She just sees $$$ and likes attention.
Yes 💯
@@AT-nq3sy I don’t think she doesn’t care I think she just has a dark sense of humor, I get it because I do too and ppl take it as not caring it’s more just my way of dealing with awkward situations.
As someone who always wanted a baby but couldn't; this breaks my heart so bad. I would have gladly given the little angel a loving home. 🥺
There are over 400,000 children currently in foster care, waiting for a loving home.

Poor precious angel. I can't understand how things like this happen.
Just want to say something too - make sure you always take a time out and take care of your mental health, Danielle - dealing and researching with hard and heartbreaking cases like this can be a lot. I've seen way too many RUclipsrs bow out from this format after burnout dealing with such depressing cases. Lots of love.
That is good advice xx
Yes!! Very good advice I hope she sees this!! ❤
Agreed. And it's better to take mini breaks from it when needed. I'm sure we'd all be here when she got back if she needed to take breaks once in a while.
Yes that was difficult to listen to him talk at the end. Sometimes I fast forward, so I don't have to hear it. Just have to be wary of your mental health, so it doesn't trigger anything that will take a toll on you.
I was coming to say this. I'd rather wait for a video and have her take care of herself.
“Good ol Pam”😂😂 that got me every time. Also, every child deserves loving parents but not every person deserves a child. People should not be able to procreate as easily as they do. Kids are young and innocent and vulnerable. They always get dragged into whatever problems their parents have. It’s awful and it’s unfair.
Exactly this. There needs to be much better support for children most of all, and parents/families across the world.
I met my husband when he was living in Georgia. This is the most Georgia family I have ever seen. The stereotypes are alive and well.
I love how compassionate you are to the victims when you tell these sensitive stories.
The fact that Courtney is free and walking the streets is extremely scary! She def was involved. Also, the justice system failed once again how can someone like Chris have such an extensive criminal history and repeatedly be released? He should have been in prison from the very beginning! So so sad 💔 rest in Heaven baby girl
@@janicebulman2382 People really need to listen until the very end! Her conviction was overturned after she only spent 3 years in prison! They decided there wasn't enough evidence to prove that she was involved.

@@psychicrenegade sorry I was watching the trial when it happened more to watching the end of this video many apologies...I hope Courtney changes her lifestyle now she's out.
I am new here and I often stick to the same RUclipsrs I’ve been watching for a long time but I am definitely a new subscriber here! As tragic as this case is, you told the story so well and respectfully. The passion you feel for this poor baby girl is so real ❤
I can normally make it through hearing victim injuries, but this one got me. That poor medical examiner. Please take a moment to protect your peace Danielle. Cuddle your puppy and hubby.
Tim is a hero mind, he was fighting an uphill battle, all the way, and went against his family to try and do what was right
An employee of mine had this video playing while we were closing and I was so hooked in it. You’re such a good true crime RUclipsr!
i’ve been binge watching danielle all day and i’m already back for this one. literally one of my fav true crime youtubers
Watching her video on Brenda Delgado
Agree whole heartily 👍🇭🇲
It’s always absolutely awful when it comes to children. It’s not easy to talk about and even more difficult to research and find all the information. But you do this with such grace and poise. As always, I very much appreciate you and look forward to your videos.
Also, you’re so adorable, I love your makeup 🥺💜
That poor baby. She deserved so much better.
Based on babies' injuries, I think she probably wouldn't take her bottle, and someone lost their temper. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This case absolutely broke my heart; hearing that autopsy report instantly made me cry. RIP, little angel; you didn't deserve anything your disgusting parents put you through. 🕊🕊💔
"Good ol' Pam. Keep it in the family Pam" 🤣
Idk exactly how involved Courtney actually was in the death, but either way she did nothing to prevent this so she can rot right along with Chris in my opinion.
Side Note... Your make-up is absolutely beautiful today girl ❤️ You look stunning!
That made me laugh good old pam 🤣
@@christineash2916 me too 🤣
I love any time she said that because yeah…Pam was good as hell, wasn’t she? 😂😂

I’ve just literally seen a clip of this on Facebook and wanted to see what the story was then came across your video. Omg you’re brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻 I absolutely love delving into true crime stories so finding your channel has absolutely made my day. ❤
Absolutely horrifying, this is absolutely one of the most disturbing cases I’ve ever heard. To think anyone could do something like that, especially to a such a little baby, absolutely vile. That poor little baby girl, may she rip and all those who loved her find as much peace and healing as possible, heartbreaking
I struggled to leave my babies with even my most trusted relatives. When they were newborns there was no way I could. I know everyone is different and some people have no choice but for the most part, I feel it’s a thing that most mothers struggle with in the beginning. I know a lot of my mum friends have said the first time they went out to socialise or to work after the birth, all they thought about was their baby and couldn’t wait to get back to them. The fact they left their 2 wk old for 4 days without a thought is definitely at odds with how most new parents usually act. RIP little Angel, you deserved so much more.
I think i love your true crime videos the most bc u focus on the victism just as much as the criminals. You remember them and tell people their lives, no matter how short. Love your content, youre a great story teller.
RIP Caliyah! Tim the grandfather sounded like a good man who was trying to do the best he could. I hope he has custody of Clarrisa his other granddaughter. As far as Courtney goes, she should be fixed never to have children again, while she is alive and breathing. I still can't believe she got released. She should had been handed all the same charges, just like Christopher had gotten.
It's insane for me someone involved in the death of a 2 week baby has the capacity to keep having children. WTF, she should at the very least be sterilized and to NEVER be around children again
This case brought tears to my eyes. I remember when my daughters were newborns, and thinking about what that poor girl went through… It’s just awful. How could anybody do that to such a sweet little thing?
Omg!! You are absolutely right about her face after hearing the call!! It’s literally like she’s trying soooo hard not to laugh or smile!! She definitely had a case of dooper’s delight I believe.
Completely sick! What’s even more disgusting is the baby was only in their custody for maybe 5-6 days of her life! Spent 4 in the hospital, 2 at the cousin’s and about 3 with her dad. I’m still on the fence if the mom had anything to do with the actual murder. I do however think she knew something. Pour little girl had no chance. 😢
Wow!!! You really just put that in perspective for me. It didn't even cross my mind bc I was just so taken back by it all💔
Whether she knew or not, she covered up for that monster. She should’ve done the full 30 years…she’s a waste
I think she absolutely knew. In the 911 call she started explaining herself before stating why she was calling. "I just woke up, my daughter woke me up on the couch" as if she is trying to establish an alabi. It seems to be a trend amongst guilty people in 911 calls.
Hearing about the baby's injuries was devastating. Even if you don't have any love for children, it's just disgusting, so sad..
Some people are truly not meant to be parents and it’s scary that just about anyone CAN be . I’d say give the baby up for adoption , but we’ve heard horror stories of that too 🥺
@@lexus1802 It makes me mad that the grandfather was willing to take care of the children but the parents didn't just let the grandpa take care of the children. These are the cases that, while being adopted by grandparents is hard for children, it's way better for the children.
@@blahblahblah4544 ya I never understand that either ! Majority of the time , these children have family members or friends that would be happy to help . And poor Grandpa in this case . Things could’ve been different forsure
Well, a lot of people don't seem to have a love for children. They want to believe a child only exists when they're born. Ignoring that most children have a life of 38 weeks on this earth before birth. And have their own unique DNA since conception. People are too desensitized to killing. Explains how a mother could turn a blind eye to the brutal murder of her newly born child. Only a few weeks prior to the birth, she could've demanded her own child be lawfully brutally killed. Life has been devalued. People are taught from a young age that they have a right to abuse the undefended.
"Good old keep it in the family Pam" I'm DEAD😂😂
So my husband has a theory that Pam could possibly be Chris's mom as well. She has several kids that she has not raised. Most have been raised by their fathers, the oldest by her parents. One son was put in foster care after his father died and her and her bf at the time were arrested for fighting, she has another daughter that didn't know pam is her mom.
Oh man, that’s gnarly 🤢🤮
I believe it
Good old "keep it in the family" Pam.....
That smile you’re talking about given from Courtney after the phone calls is called “dupers delight” and it when the person think they got away with what they said and can’t help but smirk at their performance
i’m a true crime fanatic. have been for over a decade now. i’ve read, seen, heard and researched the most vile cases…yet this one really shook me. props to danielle for keeping her composure whilst explaining this case. i know i wouldn’t be able to. rest in paradise, sweet child ❤
I lost my sweet baby girl McKenzie several years ago and I would give ANYTHING to have her back. Then I see these two POS have no regard for the precious miracle they had made. My heart is breaking into a million pieces for this sweet little one. RIP
I met a guy at a party and he asked me out. When I told my mom what his name was she said we have family with that last name. I thought there’s no chance we are related. When he came to pick me up he walked in the door and immediately said YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!!! We discovered we were second cousins. 😂 We burst out laughing.
We still went and got something to eat and kept talking about about how we were cousins and what a close call we had. We laughed a lot about “kissing cousins”. No we never kissed! But it was hilarious. That’s my story about how I almost dated my cousin 😂.
That's the difference tho lol Most people find out they're related and instantly that 'EW, OMG could you imagine 🤣??' mentality sets in and you throw out all attraction and thoughts of procreation, right tf out the window. Courtney and Chris? Well, they're a different breed I guess...
ha, BREED... im funny...
@@lovelybones8179 🤣😂🤣
@@lovelybones8179 as long as you don't plan on having kids with your cousin, there's nothing wrong with dating him/her.
Especially, second/third cousins. Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Philip were second cousins on one side, third cousins on the other side. And, they had four healthy children!
@@reneenayfabulous 🛑 STOP 🛑
So ONE couple had healthy children... Out of how many generations of royal families having hemophilia and syncope and other horrible deformations. STOP ADVOCATING INCEST!
This happened to me too...except it was a third cousin. Once I found out, it all made sense because he looked just like his uncle. But yeah....we didn't go out again after that LOL
Pam's mouth said no, but her head nodded yes every single time she said no 😂
This case is so sick. Thank you for covering this and bringing awareness. I hope that Cortney’s father and their other daughter can live a better life without these monsters in them. Thank you for your strength, Danielle. Talking about and researching such things can really take their tool on someone. Take care 🖤
That autopsy description was very hard to get through. What absolute monsters 😞 Courtney should not have been released! 😡
Just subscribed. I don't normally like these types of stories but you tell them as if I'm reading a really great novel. And the bonus is getting to see you do your makeup. Love it! You're so good at both.
Thx, Patty 😊
Absolutely despicable people and I cannot even imagine the guilt and horror that poor grandfather must be feeling. He had these children in his protection, but because he felt for another parent he gave them back... I can't even bear to think about it.
Danielle, you have presented us with some terrible crimes but when they involve children it is most heartbreaking. However, todays has to be the most horrific display of inhumanity yet. Anyone who views your videos can plainly see how they affect you. Your empathy, caring and truly loving soul is nearly stretched to it's breaking point with this one. The mere horror in the events that you had to read, watch & investigate in order to relay the story to us is inconceiveable. We do want to thank you for your throughness in all your videos. So much of the background is never mentioned in it's entirety, with you it is. Thank you.
Danielle, I love your genuine compassion
The best part of Chris’s sentencing was when he kept denying he killed his daughter the judge asked him what sentence the person who did do it should receive then pretty much gave him that sentence by sentencing him to life.
“Keep it in the family Pam”. That’s pure gold 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for covering this tragic case so compassionately, my prayers will include you, the beautiful baby, and her grandfather/other caring family members. Every night.
New subscriber, you do a wonderful job.
I have a 2 week old baby and watching made me cry. I just don’t understand how people can hurt someone that’s so innocent and precious.
My boss is said psychologist. She told me about this case earlier this year and I never knew about it. It was traumatizing for her!
“Good ol keep it in the family Pam”… sent me 😂😂😂😂😂
I've been a true crime enthusiast for decades... before it became a "thing." I've watched 100's of true crime shows, true crime videos, podcasts, & read more books than I can even begin to count. I'm a nurse and a mother. As a nurse you deal with death really often and so, while not loosing compassion, you do learn to "compartmentalize" in order to not burn out and still be a normal human being. But there are some things you just can't "compartmentalize." This case is just that & it completely took my breath away. I think anyone who can hurt "innocents" ( I include children, disabled, and animals in this group) are pure evil. Innocents can't defend themselves, they can't tell someone, they can't cry out for help & worse( obviously) is hurting a baby, a newborn baby...they are the definition of innocence. They didn't ask to be brought into the world or into your lives, they've done nothing wrong but breathe... this. I'm not usually lost for words but I'm lost for the "right" words b/c there are no "right" words to say and yet I'm so filled with emotion after hearing this, I feel the need to voice my words, even if they are jumbled & chaotic. Anyone who can look @ the beautiful, brand new face of a FIFTEEN DAY OLD BABY, your OWN baby, & end their life in the most HORRIFIC way that this precious little girl had hers ended isn't human. They are pure, narcissistic, depraved, evil, monsters. The last thing she saw was the face of Satan, who unfortunately, was her father. This case has left me needing a break from true crime. It's horrific and the only way I can reconcile any of it in my brain is knowing just how badly other inmates hate baby killers. I hope every single day, for the rest of his pathetic life, someone shows him just a small piece of what this innocent baby suffered. I hope her face shows up in his dreams & her cries haunt him relentlessly. I believe that there is a very special place in hell for Chris. And for the mother of this child who did nothing, AT ALL, to save her. I can't, as a mother of GROWN children, wrap my head around mothers allowing monsters to hurt their children~ I would fight someone TO THE DEATH for mine. My heart is broken 💔 for this baby who didn't have a single day of love in her 15 days on earth by the 2 people who should've loved her the most...I can't reconcile this in my heart even though I believe in God and I KNOW she is whole and perfect again in His arms, there are some things I just can't reconcile in my 💕.
Thank you for covering this story as it brings awareness to a broken justice system- Chris was never FORCED by anyone, it seems, to face consequences- EVER. It brings attention to drug abuse and the ripple effect it has on everyone around you and finally- most importantly, it brings attention to Domestic Violence and child abuse.
It was clear to see that this case affected you as much as it did me and the rest of your followers. Thank you for being the voice of this beautiful baby🤍🕊
Very well said. The part about him not being human is EXACTLY how I feel. There's no possible way a human FATHER could do this to a precious innocent baby! I believe in God, as well as Karma and he will suffer for what he's done! We may never know it, but I have comfort in knowing that karma's a real b#%*~
Deepest layers of hell await these two, while the baby is dancing with angels and painfree now. Our saving grave. 🙏❤️
I read your comment and it feels nice knowing people feel the same way.
This just shows that, just because you're intrigued with true crime, doesn't mean you lack compassion, empathy, sympathy..I'm definitely in that category. Every now and then there's a crime that still shocks you to the core, this being one of them...:(
I'm sure you feel the same against smoking (methamphetamine), alcohol, and all drug taking since these two parents are addicted, which facilitates their abuse and neglect. You must really hat smoking and drug use that makes this father the devil. I agree, smoking, alcohol, and meth bring out demonic behavior.
Danielle..
You told this horrible story w so much compassion. You never seem to lose your empathy or respect for the victims and their families in these very difficult cases. Thank you. My heart is aching for this precious baby, her big sister, and her grandpa...who will be in my prayers♡♡
Thank you so much for covering this case I've only seen bits and pieces and I was so confused
I was glued to this case on live tv. Truly a very sad case… can’t wait to see your coverage Danielle! You make my Sundays so great! Thank you!
I watched this trial when it happened. Because it was local it really stuck with me
Hi Danielle 😁❤️✌️
Case Suggestion 🚨🚨🚨
Emer O Loughlins Murder...Her killer is still on the run wanted by Interpol!
Her killer faked his own death and has been on the run ever since !
Her family have been trying to high light her case over the years but it's been forgotten about !!
Emer was from Co Clare in Ireland ❤️❤️
It would be great if you could cover this case !
Love your videos 💞💞💞
Goodness, I would be interested in this as haven't heard. I have relative's from Co Clare, many a year ago now dear. Thank you for commenting on this 👍🇭🇲🙏
📢 ⚠️ 🚨 PLEASE READ 📢 ⚠️ 🚨
I'd love a case from Eire. Im in England and can only think of a few ive heard of.
I’ve never heard of this case but I’d love to see a video about it. Greetings from the USA 🇺🇸
I love this suggestion because I'm not familiar with the case being an American. Thank you.
Omg you KNOW that grandpa had to felt more guilty than anything in the WORLD for giving these horrible people those kids back. I would never forgive myself.
I adore you and watch for videos constantly. Just love your passion for the victims and animals. Thank you for all you do.
I don’t usually cry but the end tribute to the baby brought a lump to my throat. Love your compassion 💗
I've seen this episode a couple of times and every time you say they were cousins all I hear in my head is the scene from Mean Girls "So there's your cousins, then your first cousins....." 🤣 classic 👌
Hearing this case was heartbreaking. I'm so glad sassy Danielle made an appearance. How can anyone inflict that kind of harm on a tiny baby?
Many American states inflict this harm on thousands of babies every year. They , legally, abort babies up to the day of birth in what they call partial birth abortions. The baby is then killed and dismembered. So while this tragedy saw two evil parents imprisoned, many states commit vile murder all the time on babies.
Hey Danielle ! I recently discovered this heart wrenching case I’d love to what you cover! It’s a little girl called Arianna fits. Ariannas mother was brutally murdered in 2016 in San Francisco but there hasn’t been any sights of little arianna since!
This case is so interesting as not only is it the tragic murder of Ariannas poor mother Nicole, but it’s also the confusing disappearance of littler arianna! I’d love to hear someone cover this story and it’s been stuck on my mind for ages now🤧
Trying to Google the case. What was Nicole's last name?
@@danayneal4409 Fitts.
Danelle Hallan covered that case?
@@Pingvich ooh I’ll go watch that! It’s so sad and confusing!
ive watched all true crime channels available to the very last video but this girl always find cases ive never heard of, love it!
I'm adding little Calia to my prayers.
I'm just crushed right now.
Thank you for bringing this case to all of us.
People that can take the weakest and most innocent such as children, animals, and the elderly, and can abuse or harm them really deserve a different kind of punishment.
I listen to a lot of true crime, and the way you tell a case makes it feel much more personal than other people. All other people i listen to call these people monsters and get angry, but you get emotional. I am not an emotional man, but every time you get choked up recounting someone's horrific abuse, I start to get a little choked up and can feel that true and raw emotions you let out. Thank you for your videos, and thank you even more for your compassion to these unfortunate victims.
Case suggestion: Mickey Shunick in Lafayette, LA in 2012. She was a beautiful college student who was killed but because of how hard she fought and the damage she caused before she was killed, her killer was found. It’s a sad but uplifting story about a brave girl and a town that came together for their own. I worked with her mother and you couldn’t find a more wonderful and loving family and community. There is an amazing amount of research available on the case. I would love to see you cover it because your empathy would do her justice. Thanks Danielle! Love you channel so much!
I live in Louisiana less than a hour away from Lafayette and never heard about this, I hope someone does a story about this. So devastating!!!😢
Id really like more details of the case I was 12 when it happened and Im only 20 minutes from ul in Lafayette where it happened.
I live in Covington and never heard about this either.
@Sarah D ok so at least I’m not the only one that lives in the area and hasn’t heard anything about this.
@@HollyMcbroom me too. Scary that I haven't heard about it!
Absolutely heartbreaking, and the autopsy was horrifying. If only the poor children stayed with their grandfather. RIP Caliah, you would've been 5 if you were still alive, maybe starting Kindergarten and beginning a new life.
I always thought that Courtney actually did it and framed Chris, just because if you listen to their conversations when he was in jail before she was arrested, he sounded genuinely surprised at what she was saying. There’s just something about her that makes me believe it was more her than him. I think he did help her hide the baby’s body though.
Exactly. Right next to their trailer, in the tree line. Inside of the bag he carried every single day according to Courtney. Wrapped in his tshirts..I hate his guts...but it's all very suspicious.
Yep I agree. Mom did it. That phone call was telling for me.
He could of been hollering I didn’t do it because he had helped her hide the baby and knew no one would believe him. Either way, they both belong in jail. Their both guilty for one reason or another
@@tesstickle6462 does seem odd everything cops need was all together for them easy to find.
Oooo maybe that’s why he said “they’re gonna pin this on me”
The part about the teeth just rended my heart in twain. I hope that poor little lost soul doesn't remember a solitary thing about being in this cursed world.
As if this case didn't make me sick enough, especially the autopsy findings, but seeing that precious baby's picture and she's wearing a sleeper that says "Daddy's girl"!!! Just sickening!!!
I agree with you about the mother being involved!! She didn't even sound upset on the 911 call!! And her hollering for her 15 day old baby was beyond odd!! I definitely think she played a part somehow, some way!! I'm shocked that he hasn't turned on her yet. Especially since she got out !
Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️
Rest in peace lil caliyah 😭..you deserved so much better 🥺...in the middle of all this imagine how that poor grandfather felt 🥺. I hope and pray that Tim is granted full custody of Clarissa . Honestly Courtney and Chris were horrible human beings .
Thank you for doing this. Baby Caliyah deserves, at the very least, to have people know what happened to her. It's extremely troubling no doubt. But we can't face these monsters if we don't know what they are capable of.
Danielle is amazing.
Hahahaha "And here comes Pam, good old keep it in the family, Pam!" I needed that laugh. This case is insane!
I'm a new subscriber and I just want to say you do an amazing job covering these stories. Although a few of them are cases, I've already heard you do a good job at including new details I haven't heard before. Such as in this case, I have heard of this case before, but I never realized their child was born September 23rd, nor have I ever heard anyone mention her mole // birthmark, which, although it's not a significant fact, I too was born on September 23rd and have a birthmark in the exact same spot... My heart goes out to the little girl who had her life taken too soon, and all the family that truly cared for her
I heard this case covered by another youtuber a while ago and they had mentioned one thing that I didn’t hear you say that I also thought was especially disgusting. When they got the call about the baby being found Courtney asked if they could basically stop at the drug dealers house before going to check on her baby. That’s how I know she had to know that Abby was already gone. My heart breaks for their children and for their Dads who tried so hard to raise them into contributing adults. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work.

@@DeviceAnathema sorry I believe I was trying to say baby but my thumbs went dyslexic for the evening. All the right letters in the wrong order. Sorry for the confusion. Lol
I love your content! I have a case suggestion too. Melissa Benoit case in Kingston Massachusetts. In the early 90’s she was a 13 yr old murdered by a Sunday school teacher when she walked to visit her fathers grave. It was a huge case back then and there is a ton of info online but for some reason no one else has featured it in the true crime genre. You should spear head this case!
I’m so glad you covered this case. I’ve seen it’ll the trail on RUclips so many times and it’s always intrigued me!
I'm watching the trial now. The guy that Chris tried to accuse is testifying. He mentioned that Chris was beating on this guy Matt, using brass knuckles. It made me think about when you talked about the gash under her eye from a sharp object 😓
Oh no
I thought this couldnt get any worse...I shouldnt have read the comments😭😭
