Slacker LE seems to be a common theme, sadly. They forget they are CIVIL SERVANTS answerable to the people/taxpayers who put food on LE's tables and send their kids to soccer lessons.
Thank you John. Wow...just wow. So sad. Aurora law enforcement really needs an overhaul. Sending thoughts and prayers to Felicia and her family and friends for her safe return.
As a mother of an adult child with special needs, I know how vulnerable these special people are. Sending prayers for her family & all those who love her! I pray they find her soon. It seems the possibility of finding her alive & safe at this late date may be slim, but you never know. Even a recovery would help the family get some closure. It would be difficult, but it would allow them to bring her home & be laid to rest with the family. I pray God answers the family’s prayers for answers quickly!! Amen!!🙏🏻
I could feel my level of frustration rise throughout this story. The incompetence or seemingly intentional negligence by law enforcement is unexplainable . I cannot imagine the crushing weight this has placed on her family. Praying your beautiful Felicia is found soon.
In the UK she would have been classed as a vulnerable person and all the usual rules around a missing adult go out the window. It's shocking how difficult it was for them to get the police involved.
I was wondering the same, surely Felicia wouldn’t leave her daughter. This is all so sad 😔 Her Mom & Dad have been through so much pain. Gail & Richard, I hope you get the answers you deserve
At what point is there going to be standard country wide police policy/training to listen to family members rather than impose their own misplaced judgement on people disappearing because they want nothing to do with their family - with ZERO evidence that is the case? It puts people and justice at risk. I truly hope the family get answers 🙏🏻
Thanks for the shout out John your welcome, your a credit to humanity, I hope Felicia is found and the family get the answers they deserve, the cops dropped the ball again.
Ok, Aurora LE clearly did not get the memo that a person's safety trumps the "adults can do what they want" idea. Give me a break, law enforcement. You work for this family not the other way around. Local news, you are borrowing the airwaves from the public, you also work for them. Do better Colorado, I know you can. Adults can not, believe it or not, "do whatever they want". That is why we have laws, protection of the police department, and live in a society. This beautiful person has some serious issues that makes her vulnerable to bad characters. Thank you John for making this missing person a real PERSON.
Exactly! No matter how well she handled her disabilities, Felecia could *not* just "do whatever she wanted". She could not walk without assistance! I live with chronic illness and invisible disabilities, and I hope that, should I ever go missing, local law enforcement would not treat my family like they did Felicia's, and disregard that there are some things that I physically cannot do, and need meds that are every bit as vital as Felicia's wheelchair. I've worked with chair-bound people, and though they're capable of a whole lot, they have very specific vulnerabilities too. That the police overlooked this is inexcusable.
Hello John. Thank you for covering this case. My thoughts go out to the family in this instance. Given her medical condition why would she not be classed as an endangered or vulnerable missing person? Does LE have CCTV or ANPR to track? Has she received prescriptions or medications or the treatment necessary for her condition sunce she left? I have so many questions. You and her family have described her character and soul so well. Given the humungous number of missing people across the US it can become easy to devalue that person to a missing statistic. All missing people deserve respect and dignity, regardless of background and circumstances and you always cover these cases professionally.
That's what I'm wondering most too - how did the police brush off the family of a missing woman with CP who needed mobility devices and regular medical care? Was it simple incompetence and laziness, or were other factors involved? How was she not considered to be endangered missing from the start? Cops like these are the reason why so many people don't trust the police.
@thing_under_the_stairs I'm in the UK but have come to understand from watching US true crime that police response is pot luck. We have standard protocols across the UK plus only 42 police forces. The US have so many law enforcement agencies and resources and laws differing between states. It is a nightmare
It’s heartbreaking to hear about the failures law enforcement is guilty of. It would seem that only the families are interested in their loved ones. I hope that Felicia is found soon and brought home safely.
As a fellow woman with Cerebral Palsy, I just want to say I hope her family gets answers soon! John, thank you for covering this case while including details about what Cerebral Palsy is. Considering how many people have it, so many people are misinformed about Cerebral Palsy.
What about her daughter? Was her daughter with her that last day? If it took days for her family to realized she was missing, where was her daughter? Hope all well, just a little confusing.
A man who calls himself 'Lucky puppy' is a questionable character, especially when stating to LE that he saw Felicia 2wks after she 'went missing' and was with a man called 'Dave', i mean come on, that old chestnut.
She's beautiful. I hope she's found and brought home. I have a question about her daughter. Was her daughter not living with her at the time? To not hear from someone for weeks would be difficult if they had young children right? Does her daughter not live with her?
Her daughter was born in 2009 so would’ve been 12 when she went missing. (I believe in the family pics@24:29 she would be the beautiful, young red head on far right&in next pic holding the "40" Balloon. John said they lived with her parents, I assume she was with them. Felicia seems to have a strong, loving family & support system. With the description of Felicia, her daughter is missing a wonderful, loving, strong & fun Mother. *HUGS*to Sonia. She’s taken on a lot with her parents, sister & niece. This case is incredibly frustrating. (Lucky Puppy as a nickname for Adult Male give anyone else the creeps? Bless him if he’s a good person but the name eww)
I feel so sorry for Felicia and how her case are being treated . I feel for Sonia and Gale and all the rest of the familly. Aurora police department are maybe the culprit here...Maybe they murder her in a stop , manhandled her and something more nefarious happens here.... They really strip her car from everything? It s the first time i heard that they can and do it ..... Why Lucky Puppy don t contact the Martinez if he had nothing to do with it.. My heart go for all of the familly and friends of Felicia. I hope that they will find Felicia. 🙏
I realize this is a minor detail, but if "Lucky Puppy" went to lunch with Felicia and her father, why wouldn't he be introduced by his real name? Did Felicia not know his real name?
When law enforcement is disinterested, arrogant, shady, unhelpful, etc, etc., it makes me suspect that they know more, that perhaps a person of interest is a “vip” so to speak… in addition, I am perplexed that a special needs lady would not have been more of a priority to media… what a cruel shame… elevating Miss. Feli and everyone that loves her in prayer 🩵🫶🏻🤍. May the Lord reunite her with her loved ones soon ❤️
Missing adult? “Adults are free to take off without explanation, no matter how out of character or what vulnerability they may have” Missing teen? “They’re just a runaway. Because leaving voluntary, if they did, means they are perfectly safe. It’s not like any bad people would prey on vulnerable teens”. At least cops are generally fairly good about taking cases of young children & elderly people seriously. It’s infuriating.
Lived at Fort Campbell for four years KDF being my chosen station.Army brats are smart and intuitive.BUT a bad relationship could knock anyone "seen as vulnerable"!😢
Thank you for covering this case. The way that this case was handled just makes me so so angry. I can’t understand how police could care so little. Not even bothering for a wellness check.
I worked with Felicia at walmart when she was pregnant with her daughter. She was always a bubble of sunshine and she really loved becoming a mom. She even planned my babyshower when i was pregnant with my first. She was the kindest,beautifulest soul. I pray for the family the aurora pd did them so damn dirty
This is a really painful case. The police response is beyond frustrating. It's infuriating. It's depressing, sickening, and enraging, that what the people from the news told the family is true. The term "missing white woman syndrome" is used, as white women and girls from middle class or upper class backgrounds often get disproportionate coverage in the media compared to other cases. But on top of that, the way this has been handled by law enforcement is really inadequate. When someone goes missing that should be enough. But she has Cerebral Palsy, on top of that. I don't think it's acceptable to just suggest that a person has probably just left of their own accord without even looking into it, let alone a woman with Cerebral Palsy. I really hope that this case gets resolved, and that cases like this get the attention they deserve from the police and the media.
Colorado is beautiful but it’s stunning how many bungled investigations & missed opportunities to prevent incidents have happened. From JonBennett to James Holmes to Lori Vallow. No force is perfect. But some states don’t learn from their mistakes. I think columbine was handled well, though preventable. And I guess they died so it was just tactical response not investigation. The Watts family. Ugh- I’ve had nightmares about the officer handling them-missing Suzanne Morphew’s bike with his bare hands. Just dragging it up to the street without so much as a photo from where it had been tossed over the edge. It was entertaining but I still don’t know why Marvin Heemeyer wasn’t stopped quickly. My heart broke for Dylan Redwine. I’m in an area with more than it’s share of serial killers. People across the country could probably easily list a few infamous cases. But at least our law enforcement tends to take violent crime seriously, regardless of the victim. There are a few southern small town sheriffs departments living up to corruption stereotypes, and Colorado where you just can’t rely on police in the moment you need them most. They exist as part of the social contract. We pay them, cover their training, make it a job unlike the many towns with all volunteer fire departments, and when we need it, they use their training, expertise and experience to help us. If they don’t help, they aren’t holding up their end & shouldn’t get a taxpayer funded paycheck.
Whats the point of having a missing persons unit, if LE regard a missing adult as: 'not missing because they are an adult therefore they must be missing by choice'....so what then..does the missing persons unit only apply to 'non adults'...The Auroura police dept are demented. I have no faith in them to do right with Felicias case, considering everything theyve done up to this point has been wrong.
Talking about what the police allegedly “should” have done doesn’t help. Could she have run off with “Lucky Puppy”? Where is her daughter? Her daughter’s father? Who was she dating? Any substance use history? A lot was left out of this episode unfortunately.
I have those same questions. I'm speculating that Felicia's daughter was living with Felicia's parents when Felicia disappeared. I don't think Felicia would've "run away" with anyone, as she loved her daughter and her family too much to abandon them. It sounds like since Felicia had no relationship with her daughter's father, that her daughter would have no relationship with him either.
So much wrong here ! Police incompetence or Police cover-up !? Where is her baby? Did I miss this? Why didn’t the family go to her home to see if she was there ? “Lucky Puppy!?” SERIOUSLY !? What kind of a grown a $$ man calls himself that!? What exactly was their relationship? In my experience people that have nicknames like that are either hiding something or into some shady activities… just sayin’. Who is the Baby Daddy? Was he ever investigated? SMH
Get that wheelchair and cane description out there in case anyone has or will come across them. This dude is NOT telling the truth and the cops make me want to pull my hair out. I cannot imagine the frustration
Obviously Gabby's case got great attention because there was video of the drama as it unfolded where as this woman vanished without a trace. I very much applaud you for taking up this case but you should avoid manufacturing controversy. You had a few other less than credible deductions in your piece. In my state I believe there is a law that if a person has a disability the Police must file a missing persons report immediately, but that may not be the case everywhere. The fact that the Police do have a couple of people they want to talk to offers some hope that they are making progress.
What controversy has John manufactured? Everything he has said can no doubt be verfied. Why do YOU want this brushed under the carpet? Do you work for Aurora PD by any chance
@@melissatheminx4710 I explained that in the first two sentences and when did I say I wanted to brush something under the carpet??? Now you are creating controversy.
A certain 'lucky' someone seems to have friends in certain key places. I mean,.. I've heard of Police incompetence before,...but this seems more like a deliberate attempt to block, stall and obfuscate investigation.
LE who are unwilling to step up, seems to be a common theme, sadly. They forget they are CIVIL SERVANTS answerable to the people/taxpayers who put food on LE's tables and send their kids to soccer lessons.
Gabby Petitos story isn’t the norm, almost no missing person, despite their race, gets that coverage. Gabbys story had lots of evidence, lots of footage, a clear suspect who himself ended up missing. It was a crazy story. Sadly most missing person cases don’t have a lot of evidence, don’t have a lot of updates, that’s just the reality of these situations.
Sorry John! I promise I won't take from your narrative again. I'm sick of being blocked, rerouted, files deleted. Sorry dude it'll never happen again. UNLESS you say dude what's the skinny on this. Sorry
Comment count 99, actually 94. (I counted, I know I'm a loser) I ran an illicit moving company bossman told me ya got give some to take some. Otherwise it's to BLATANT. This scumbag also defrauded me out of a court case worth 132k, job retraining, knee replacement. Seems Marcos big brother is working at RUclips.
Just based on that dumba$$ name I would be suspicious of that man. And then a man named Dave. Surprised it’s not Jack Smith. made me cry when her sis questioned the whole SM influencer- missing pretty white woman syndrome. Media to be blamed. A black geologist went missing at the same time as Gaby, pursuing a way more useful career than van life 🤦🏽♀️, but his dad is a lone warrior on his case. Who knows the name Evelyn Hernandez, While we get Laci Peterson uploads ad nauseum. Even now there are multi part series here on YT. I told the creator to cover Evelyn next, let’s see if she does.
You know you can have your opinion. Gabby petito is not to be blamed, the media is. Gabby life was just as important as the geologist and felicia. Actually social media is the reason a lot of cases get covered.
My comment is in no way an attack on Gabby Petito, who is the victim of a horrible crime, but I do think there's some truth in the pretty white missing woman syndrome, sadly. However this shouldn't affect police work whatsoever! This syndrome is something the public at large can buy into, but not LE. Something that I think helps catch people's attention and imagination is video footage, of which in the Petito's case we had an abundance of: think of the police body cams as well as her own vlog posts. There's something a little morbid about this perhaps, but it's also natural. That said, I firmly believe everyone deserves the same police resources, attention and commitment and I pray we're getting closer to a society with no second class citizens.
@@kathybartlett624 infact I think Gabbys legacy was she helped us start this conversation. I felt it even in the throes of it. I would find myself saying “Gabby in death you helped open our eyes and start a conversation”. Media is the culprit. After 23 years in media- we were obsessed with the Nielsen Audience rating. OMG 🤦🏽♀️
@jasminesploots6986 She is white tho... Just look at her and her family. They all look *VERY* white. Just because someone is Hispanic & has the last name "Martinez" doesn't mean they aren't considered "white". Look at George Zimmerman - everyone referred to him as a white male when he was also Hispanic. The media likely didn't cover this case as swiftly as Gabby Petito because of the large age diffference, lack of information, and lack of social media presence.
Felicia is very clearly SO loved. Thinking of her family and friends and hoping for peace and answers.
That police department is so dang frustrating.
It's frustrating that the police dept is so unhelpful. I mean, WTF? God bless her family. Hopefully Felicia comes home soon.
Slacker LE seems to be a common theme, sadly. They forget they are CIVIL SERVANTS answerable to the people/taxpayers who put food on LE's tables and send their kids to soccer lessons.
Let’s keep in mind this is only one side of the story.
Thank you John. Wow...just wow. So sad. Aurora law enforcement really needs an overhaul. Sending thoughts and prayers to Felicia and her family and friends for her safe return.
That's an understatement. The dysfunction is beyond the point of ridiculous.
Pure laziness.
@@TheBlueThird I so agree! I was trying to be...diplomatic. 😉
The whole Countries law enforcement needs an overhaul, This is sickening.
@@redrumhum I so totally agree.
As a mother of an adult child with special needs, I know how vulnerable these special people are. Sending prayers for her family & all those who love her! I pray they find her soon. It seems the possibility of finding her alive & safe at this late date may be slim, but you never know. Even a recovery would help the family get some closure. It would be difficult, but it would allow them to bring her home & be laid to rest with the family. I pray God answers the family’s prayers for answers quickly!! Amen!!🙏🏻
Omg, john, with the help of Felicia's family, you really outdid yourself. You brought Felicia's personality to life so well. 💖
It's obvious how much her family adores her and is suffering. I hope they can get some answers soon!
This one really touched me. Sending love to her family. I cannot imagine the anger I'd feel toward the police and media.
I could feel my level of frustration rise throughout this story. The incompetence or seemingly intentional negligence by law enforcement is unexplainable . I cannot imagine the crushing weight this has placed on her family. Praying your beautiful Felicia is found soon.
Same. It's completely inexcusable. I really hope that Felicia is found and this is resolved.
Same here. I cannot understand how LE can dismisse a case like that. Isn't it their job to investigate? It boggles the mind and frustrates the soul 😔.
In the UK she would have been classed as a vulnerable person and all the usual rules around a missing adult go out the window. It's shocking how difficult it was for them to get the police involved.
Where is Felicia’s daughter? And Sonia… what an incredible sister!
I was wondering the same, surely Felicia wouldn’t leave her daughter. This is all so sad 😔 Her Mom & Dad have been through so much pain. Gail & Richard, I hope you get the answers you deserve
That poor family. They seem to run into problems at every step. I hope they find answers soon!
Her smile is awesome.
At what point is there going to be standard country wide police policy/training to listen to family members rather than impose their own misplaced judgement on people disappearing because they want nothing to do with their family - with ZERO evidence that is the case? It puts people and justice at risk. I truly hope the family get answers 🙏🏻
Thanks for the shout out John your welcome, your a credit to humanity, I hope Felicia is found and the family get the answers they deserve, the cops dropped the ball again.
Thanks John 🦋 for getting these cases out there. You're making a difference & are so appreciated (JSYK)

I've worked with chair-bound people, and though they're capable of a whole lot, they have very specific vulnerabilities too. That the police overlooked this is inexcusable.
Good morning yall!"❤ Thank you searchlight team, for bringing this case fwd 🙏
Hello John. Thank you for covering this case. My thoughts go out to the family in this instance. Given her medical condition why would she not be classed as an endangered or vulnerable missing person? Does LE have CCTV or ANPR to track? Has she received prescriptions or medications or the treatment necessary for her condition sunce she left? I have so many questions.
You and her family have described her character and soul so well. Given the humungous number of missing people across the US it can become easy to devalue that person to a missing statistic.
All missing people deserve respect and dignity, regardless of background and circumstances and you always cover these cases professionally.

It’s heartbreaking to hear about the failures law enforcement is guilty of. It would seem that only the families are interested in their loved ones. I hope that Felicia is found soon and brought home safely.
So sad but true that some relatives almost never get attention unless they beg for it, whereas others almost hit the news from the beginning
Aurora PD should be held accountable for their lack of action!

Thank you for talking about Felicia.
Wow, I am so sorry for this family and for Felicia. Every law enforcement officer involved in this so far need to be charged.
Shame on law enforcement in this case. I really hope Felicia is found soon. Sharing with friends in the Denver area
Man this is sad. She was a nice loving person. Lots of memories from that name. I'm sorry too the family
A man who calls himself 'Lucky puppy' is a questionable character, especially when stating to LE that he saw Felicia 2wks after she 'went missing' and was with a man called 'Dave', i mean come on, that old chestnut.
I wanted to write the same thing, there's definitely something wrong with a grown man nicknaming himself "Lucky PUPPY"
Shes sounds like a very cool person
She's beautiful. I hope she's found and brought home. I have a question about her daughter. Was her daughter not living with her at the time? To not hear from someone for weeks would be difficult if they had young children right? Does her daughter not live with her?
I wonder the same. Maybe Felicia's daughter was living with Felicia's parents when Felicia disappeared.
Is her daughter ok? 😢 she had such a zest for life ….
I was going to ask this.
What an arrogant police officer. He states Felicia is sick of her family? He doesn't even know her. How rude and dismissive.
The Aurora police should be ashamed of themselves, but I doubt they can feel shame.
When you look at the reaction by law enforcement to this i really wouldn't blame any family that wants to conduct their own search in cases like this
Her daughter was born in 2009 so would’ve been 12 when she went missing. (I believe in the family pics@24:29 she would be the beautiful, young red head on far right&in next pic holding the "40" Balloon. John said they lived with her parents, I assume she was with them.

Felicia ❤
LE who are unwilling to step up, seems to be a common theme, sadly. They forget they are CIVIL SERVANTS answerable to the people/taxpayers who put food on LE's tables and send their kids to soccer lessons.
Does anyone believe her guy friends’s story, I’m apprehensive… he claims he last saw her with a guy name Dave or something…
Gabby Petitos story isn’t the norm, almost no missing person, despite their race, gets that coverage. Gabbys story had lots of evidence, lots of footage, a clear suspect who himself ended up missing. It was a crazy story. Sadly most missing person cases don’t have a lot of evidence, don’t have a lot of updates, that’s just the reality of these situations.
Comment count is 5, even after I posted it. RUclips should be looked at for skimming the till.
They do the samething with views.
RUclips is doing its thing. View count is just over 400, and likes are over 6k. This certainly deserves the likes but something's not right.
Sorry John!
I promise I won't take from your narrative again. I'm sick of being blocked, rerouted, files deleted.
Sorry dude it'll never happen again.
UNLESS you say dude what's the skinny on this. Sorry
Actually posts. 16. Count 15.
Comment count 99, actually 94.
(I counted, I know I'm a loser)
I ran an illicit moving company bossman told me ya got give some to take some.
Otherwise it's to BLATANT. This scumbag also defrauded me out of a court case worth 132k, job retraining, knee replacement.
Seems Marcos big brother is working at RUclips.
Just based on that dumba$$ name I would be suspicious of that man. And then a man named Dave. Surprised it’s not Jack Smith.
made me cry when her sis questioned the whole SM influencer- missing pretty white woman syndrome. Media to be blamed. A black geologist went missing at the same time as Gaby, pursuing a way more useful career than van life 🤦🏽♀️, but his dad is a lone warrior on his case.
Who knows the name Evelyn Hernandez, While we get Laci Peterson uploads ad nauseum. Even now there are multi part series here on YT. I told the creator to cover Evelyn next, let’s see if she does.
You know you can have your opinion. Gabby petito is not to be blamed, the media is. Gabby life was just as important as the geologist and felicia. Actually social media is the reason a lot of cases get covered.
My comment is in no way an attack on Gabby Petito, who is the victim of a horrible crime, but I do think there's some truth in the pretty white missing woman syndrome, sadly. However this shouldn't affect police work whatsoever! This syndrome is something the public at large can buy into, but not LE.
Something that I think helps catch people's attention and imagination is video footage, of which in the Petito's case we had an abundance of: think of the police body cams as well as her own vlog posts. There's something a little morbid about this perhaps, but it's also natural.
That said, I firmly believe everyone deserves the same police resources, attention and commitment and I pray we're getting closer to a society with no second class citizens.
@@kathybartlett624 infact I think Gabbys legacy was she helped us start this conversation. I felt it even in the throes of it. I would find myself saying “Gabby in death you helped open our eyes and start a conversation”. Media is the culprit. After 23 years in media- we were obsessed with the Nielsen Audience rating. OMG 🤦🏽♀️
Someone’s occupation should not make a difference in how much media coverage they get, any more than their race, gender, age, etc should.
Colorado a super racist place. I mean, come on. Just admit it.
What does that have to do with this video?
@jasminesploots6986 She is white tho... Just look at her and her family. They all look *VERY* white. Just because someone is Hispanic & has the last name "Martinez" doesn't mean they aren't considered "white". Look at George Zimmerman - everyone referred to him as a white male when he was also Hispanic.
The media likely didn't cover this case as swiftly as Gabby Petito because of the large age diffference, lack of information, and lack of social media presence.
