The newer true crime shows especially on ID are more like soap operas I guess that’s because more and more females are getting into true crime but I really enjoy real pictures of crime scenes interviews with the family and police and I wish more shows would go back to that style
Rest in paradise angel 🙁 There’s cases that take YEARS to be solved. The truth does take time. The Boy in the Box was finally identified after 60+ years. And I hope they all get Justice and solved. My heart goes to her brother Drew and everyone who truly loved her. I was bullied all my life, so this hits really close. 🙁
Thank God He was found ,but so heartbreaking 😪
Pleasanton sounds like the kind of “nice” community that is actually full of trash.
The mom had so much guilt thank you to the detectives for giving them justice at the end.
1% are ever solved.that sucks. That's a very very low percentage
Tina’s moms poem is heartwarming
That poor mama…I hope she is resting in peace with her daughter. That female officer did good. Those girls who bullied her have to live with what they did, too. She would have been on the bus if not for them.
Wow, what a shocking ending! It just goes to show that people need to be kind to others so that they hopefully don't end up being evil people. 🙁
I feel so much for her little brother, who must feel so helpless that he couldn't "save" his mom and fix her. He truly lost them both.
I think it is important to note that Kellie Poppleton’s case is still unsolved. There is no confirmation that she was murdered by Robert Rhoades. Poor girl didn’t even have her named spelled properly in this video 🙁
So sad. All she was trying to do was go to school.
The poem was so sad 🥺💔
Beyond sad and horrific for any human being to go through. The extreme fear that the poor innocent girl went through angers me that there are such rotten human beings in this world. God Bless that young girl as she is surely in Heaven
So sad 😢 Sending Prayers 🙏 💔
Heartbroken 😢
I would hope that if something had happened to my sibling as a kid, that my mother would love me enough to fight thru the grief to take care of me. That I would be worthy of being a good reason to live for
The fbi asked her “ do you wanna know who killed….?” What kind of a question is that dummy.
See sometimes when people make conflicting statements they are still telling the truth. He got lucky that the police didn’t tunnel vision on him and throw him in the slammer . It happens everyday to innocent people all over this country
so sad made me cry her mom died before they sentence this criminal drug addict to life at least she will meet her daughter in heaven because i belive who ever died oppressed is going to haven i think both the mom and daughter died oppressed !!!
I feel for this family especially the son. What happened to Tina is horrible but she’s in heaven now. The brother however had to be the strong one. He was left with a struggling and sad mom. No telling what he missed out on.
Wow this is really sad. Hits close to home too. I’m from the Bay Area. Rest in peace babe you never deserved this I’m sorry 😢
The detective that was on limited duty but determined to make full impact made all the difference!! This would probably still be unsolved otherwise! Sometimes taking a case back to the first witness is huge! It is crazy and sad to see the evolution of that boy into his criminal career – he added 20 years of ugly
Monsters are real.
I hate bully’s . Unfortunately a lot of the children that get bullied grow up and become things like cops and then they bully the public
Sick world 😱
So Steve Carlson only got 15 years to life??? And why only 2nd degree murderous? Oh yeah, California.
My mind goes to wondering whether the girls who threw the rocks at Tina ever felt remorse for the cruelty….
This poor mother. That monster had a bad day and killed Tina because of it? Terrible.
This seems like this should have been solved a lot earlier. I feel like this detective while she did work hard didn’t do that much extra that shouldn’t already have been done. Right? Isn’t this all stuff that should have been done when the case was fresh? Seems like there was a lot of stuff that got over looked or just didn’t get done in the first place. We need cops that actually do their jobs like her. Thank you mam👍
Bullying creates bullies, keeps the cycle going. Sad to see that’s how many ppl use social media now. Whether they themselves are bullying someone or attacking someone else they think is bullying. It’s all the same.
Thank God u guys nailed it! I know these kids get wound up just like the adults! Omg mama died! Woe 💔💔💔
