I’m sorry, she saw a teenager being dragged into the ravine and her husband told her to MIND her own BUSINESS!?! 🤬
Some people has evil souls
Maybe husband knew something
Back in the day when wives had less say I suppose and she happened to have married a dick.
Right!!!! HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?!?! I would’ve ignored my husband got my phone n called 911 if his ass said anything else to me I’d say, “Mind your own fucking business before your divorced Asshole!” No shit ♈️
the amount of respect that has been lost for human society when i heard that😭😭
Every case is heartbreaking, but something is absolutely ruining me about this case. The fact that Kevin is the only one left and doing his best to honor his mom's life and continue advocating for Kurt...
Yeah this part really stung :( he's really out there doing it alone, who knows how bad his own health must be from that burden :(
@@Sarah-mh5ez I feel like all of the family members died in part due to the trauma. Overdose? Heart attack? Those are heavily based in trauma. It breaks my heart.
@@rebeccat7912 Yes, even more "natural causes" can be related to trauma since the body often has a physical response to trauma, lowering people's immunity and making them more prone to illness than they would have been. It certainly seems like that could've been the case for both of Kurt's parents. My heart really goes out to the Sova family 💔
It was so hard to listen to the tremor in Kevin's voice while he spoke about his brother, you can hear how raw the loss still is after all these years. I hope he finds answers.
it's so heart breaking. I really hope Kurt and his family gets justice.
The homeowner was totally involved, the “homeless” guy was also involved. That corrupt cop just didn’t care at all. So freaking sad man.
Thissss
Dunno if the homeless guy was actively involved, but I have a feeling he saw/overheard some stuff. If he knew someone was planning to dump the body in two days and the cops were going to do everything possible to avoid catching the culprit, that would explain him knowing when the body would be found and that the case wouldn't be solved.
@@ZeldaQueen64 But he probably hadn’t even died yet, at the time the man predicted when the body would be found. He said, they’ll find his body in two days, which they did. But he’d only been dead 24-36 hours before it was found
and the woman who saw someone dragged into the revine also involved.
"corrupt cop" is redundant. :(
That guy who invited him to the party and was the last person to see him alive is the person we should focus on. And obviously someone knows.
His friend who invited him to the party wasn't the last person to see him. The lady that threw the party said Kurt was sleeping alone in her basement and then Kurt was seen with two guys walking down the street (one was named franko), both happened of those things happened on a later date
Yep and the chick who lied multiple times to his mama...they BOTH know more. Karma will deal with em though... it's STILL undefeated frfr👀
It's absolutely heartbreaking how she died before she knew how her son died I hope he gets justice soon
I believe once she left this earth 🌏 she found out what happened. I have a strong belief in God, & believe he gives us the justice we could never receive by anyone else.
I believe she was reunited with her son and his siblings that had passed...we all meet again and we all find out the whole truth....I believe in Jesus and the Angels ❤️
Crying over here
She knows the whole story now, whether Earthly justice is served or not.
@@marsharowaihy6725 Amen!
The police should've immediately gotten a search warrant for that duplex where Kurt was last seen. They dropped the ball so badly!
I feel like the vast majority of cases that go unsolved are unsolved because police drop the ball 😔its so unfair. These people had loved ones
The coroner said he’s dead 24 36 hours then the girl from the party said someone “is” sleeping in the cot in the basement. His hair would have been their etc maybe the police don’t have to work just drive around and the homeless git with all his marbles had something to do with it. I just loved the witnesses I think they were trying to help but were too stupid to realise they aren’t. God love them.
Arrogance and ignorance
What makes me sick is there is a very good chance that when Dorothy went to Debbie’s house after Kurt didn’t come home, Kurt was probably still alive somewhere in that house. That must have haunted her until her last breath.
That’s exactly what I was thinking too.
Yeah I’d go crazy thinking about that - how I might’ve found him if I just pushed my way into that house
@blakjak220gmail but what if she would've gotten killed too
@future.cadaver for my kid...I would've went back to that house on some goon chit. Would've been game over at that point frfr... hypothetically 👀😒💯💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
Just unimaginable.
God bless that mom. No one should ever have to live through a death of a child. But to have police not even care that she had to do their work is unconscionable
I’m just glad her work wasn’t all for nothing. The case at least was reopened. Too bad the old chief didn’t care. :(
I think the stress that family went through caused everyone’s health issues.
Oh no doubt. All really fairly young too.
Cancer don't cause by stress. I think.
Drug Overdosed also don't cause by stress. It's cause by Poor Choices of Life.
There are 95% of people on this planet earth that are Stress on a daily basic... only 1% would OD and 4% choose suicide.
Worrying excessively causes cancer so yeah it's so sad. And to think ANOTHER boy was murdered.
I wonder how many cases would have turned out differently if they would have taken the missing person report seriously in the first 24 hours? RIP Kurt, I hope you get the justice you deserve
I don’t understand how many cops has the exact same behavior 🤦🏻♀️ I mean doesn’t the police themselves hear of cases that fails because the police doesn’t take a report seriously as fast as possible? Shouldn’t they learn from other cops mistakes? I don’t get it
Right?!
Do you have any idea how many missing persons are reported per day?
@@fashionistax9919 same thing I say. The first 24 hours are crucial but they sure don't act like it is.
I can't believe it was ever a law. It's so crucial, those first hours.
It’s so brave of the surviving brother to speak to the public. It can’t be easy to be the last surviving family member. I pray he gets closure someday
"Debbie" and the homeless guy had something to do with it and the cops didn't give a shit. He still deserves justice!
My parents recently got divorced and ever since then my life has fallen completely apart. I'm failing most of my classes and my friends stopped talking to me. My mom has become cold, distant and standoffish towards me and I haven't heard from my dad in two months. This channel and a few others are the only comfort in my life and bring me some joy. I feel safe when I am on this channel and Kendall has such a soft and gentle voice that it instantly calms down my nerves.
Omg im so sorry. This broke my heart in 2 :(
I hope everything gets better soon for you and your family ❤
I'm so sorry you have to go through that. I'm glad you find comfort from this channel. I'd like to recommend you another nice CZcamsr covering similar content. Name's Brooke Makenna, her voice is very soothing. Hope you find peace in your life soon!!
I’m sorry I do get this in my own way. Hang in there xo
So sorry, If you need somone to talk to, here 👋
Poor Kevin. He’s dealt with A LOT of loss in his life. I hope he’s okay. 🙁
Kevin...your brother Kurt will not be forgotten
Prayers for you and the Sova Family and Friends
Is so heartbreaking 💔
So very sad 😔 My heart breaks.
My heart goes out to him. There was so much loss in that family. 💔
His mom was such a amazing mom she literally never gave up looking for her son I hope one day they get justice and find out what really happened
I feel like she knows, now that she's been in heaven with her son.
I was just thinking the same thing. Now they are reunited ❤
This one really got to me. Were party goers interviewed? Was this mystery man interviewed by all corrupt cops?
Was this boy even given a chance for justice?
How frustrating and sad
Thanks for sharing this in such a respectful way. I love the work you do to help people
of course not, it' a known fact that police are useless and they don't care
Why are small police departments sometimes so incompetent? Not always, but it is frightening how many cases are totally botched. So sad.
Because in small towns, cases like this almost never happen so police officers never have experience handling a case like this. Not excusing it, it fucking sucks but that’s usually why.
I have more hours logged playing stardew valley than police officers need to become police officers. And I just started playing the game last year. That’s why.
@@KailaShy_r
“ No mother should have to burry her child ” has always stuck with me . Growing up in Baltimore you certainly hear it a lot n sadly the mothers , much like this mother , die with out knowing who did it .
Nah. You won’t hurt any feelings most all departments are awful and don’t do their jobs at all.
That weird part where the woman told them he was in sleeping in her basement and then a few days later his body was found. He legit died in that basement and was moved to the ravine. That's what my brain went to.
YES!
I thought the same exact thing! when I heard that part where the woman said that he was sleeping in her basement and then, I believe it said that the dad went to check it out and you could tell someone had been in the bed but then there was no body. My first thought was that he died in that basement and was moved!!
@@brandynicole8382 right?!
His body was definitely on that cot……and then was moved…..cannot believe the cops didn’t get DNA from the cot or search the house
@@mellowvibe8712 you can’t? This was 1981. The first use of DNA as a forensic tool was like 1986. They may not have even known that this was something they should be doing in 1981. It’s very believable.
That poor mother did absolutely everything to find out what happened to her son. She never gave up. I also feel so bad for Kevin so much loss. 😞 this case is baffling
I’m 20 weeks along right now too and man all of the sudden I have a very obvious pregnant belly and I feel super pregnant! We actually had a miscarriage in October as well and then got pregnant again in November so I feel like I’m just right there with you in so many ways… good and bad. Praying both our babies are healthy and thriving 💗
wishing you the happiest and healthiest of pregnancies🤎
I’m like a week ahead of u guys. Hoping for a healthy pregnancy for you and Kendall both 🥰
wishing you a easy and safe pregnancy ❤
prayers for an easy pregnancy💓
Wishing both you and Kendall safe and healthy pregnancies ❤❤
That girl that held the party definitely knew something or had a hand in it. Why would she change her story so much about having a party, and Kurt being there or not. Not to mention the thing with the cot too? Like wtf? I really hope someone figures it out and justice gets served 🙏
Yes that situation was really sketchy, the denial and then the contact to say there was someone sleeping in their basement but not going to see who it was???
@@jenilocke8255 also the fact that he was already dead by the time she called!
maybe she was a teen herself and didnt want her parents to know she even threw a party where one of the guests was a possible murder victim. mightve been scared for her own selfish reasons thats all
@@hagaraman378 it was mentioned that she was older than kurt and married!
I wonder if something happen to Kurt in that basement so she said he was sleeping down there so if the cops actually checked, there would be a reason for his DNA to be there
you talking about your cute bump and how you’re reminded “hey i’m having a baby” had me SO EMOTIONAL 🥲🥲💛 been watching you for years and i just couldn’t be happier for you and Josh, you’re going to be the most incredible parents. ❤️ you are absolutely GLOWING 😍
She is!
I'm really glad this is being re-examined, even if just one brother still is around to get answers after all these years. It may be a 40 year old cold case but those responsible/involved were likely young at the time and are likely to still be alive. I really do think that someone out there knows or has a good idea of what happened. It's sickening how the case was mishandled.
I have tears in my eyes. She tried to find her baby with whatever it took
It’s painful to know the police could’ve found the guy who said that his body would be found in two days time . So frustrating
This confuses me. At one point, Kendall said that the police interviewed the guy who made the creepy statement, and found him to be mentally sane and not at all connected to the case. Then she says the police never followed up with finding the guy. Did I miss something?
Sadder is that they had him and let him go
@@caycameout2play they never found the guy again for what i know. when they wanted to interview him again he was never found, and since he is not a suspect and his life could be in danger if the police publicly said his name or shared a picture of him to the public, they just gave up on finding him
@@caycameout2play police questioned him and he seemed competent, but because they were really not caring about the case they didn't find that he had any connection to him (before he was found dead)
It wasn't until after they found his body that they actually cared to check him out, but by that time they couldn't find him again.
So chances are he either was connected or knew something and police really just didn't care because so often in these cases police think "this kid is just a runaway". Even though they never said that in this case, its always been the kind of police mentality from atleast back in the 70s and 80s. Its really sad there was never more done.
Unsolved cases are among the most heartbreaking. Imagine never finding out what happened to your loved one in their final moments. I can’t even fathom how painful that must be.
Huh, my name is Anna T. as well. Small world🤔
Not like it's a common name or anything...🙄 a lot of last names start with T
What a wild case. I’m guessing what happened was he was abducted when he was trying to stumble home drunk after the party. This is why you should always make sure people get home okay.
The good thing about cold cases being re examined after all this time, someone knows something and even if that a person was involved in kurts murder or not, to carry a secret like that would weigh heavily on the average person. I hope justice is served for kurt and his family. Breaks my heart that so many family members died without ever getting answers.
Kendall, i can’t believe how much you’ve done for victims and families. how gently and respectfully you handle each case is so amazing to see. you’re doing amazing!!! 💕
Lol you do realise she’s not actually solving these cases herself?! All she’s doing is collecting the info on each case and then reading it out loud
@@laurat188 Yes, but she's raising awareness and helping to get the names and faces of victims out there. This is especially important for cases that don't/didn't get a lot of media attention. The family members of victims have contacted her in the past to thank her for what she's been doing.
@@veenoceda14 lol no she’s doing it to get money and raise her own profile
@@laurat188 ok laura
@@laurat188 she’s doing more than you
I can’t even imagine the pain , confusion and frustration Kurt’s family and friends endured. I only have one child , a son who now is 19. It’s hard for me to even think about something happening to him but then to imagine the police ignoring me, seems unbearable. Great work , Kendall.
Likewise 😢 Heaven preserve us from these tragedies 🙏🏾
Kurt looks very similar to my Dad, who has passed away, as a teenager.
I often watch true crime videos, but for some odd reason this one made me a bit emotional. Especially knowing much of his family passed while still searching for answers.
The crazy man in the store definitely had something to do with Kurt's death. Its sad that the police don't help to serve the people as they should. Its heartbreaking to know that his mother died, not having closure but I hope that the information she obtained and preserved for 30 plus years help lead the family to some answers. 🙏🏾💛🙏🏾
I didn't really understand, Kendall first said that they tracked down the crazy guy and interrogated him and he didn't have any connection to Kurt, but later she said they never found him?
@@voxxbg380 right? Maybe she meant they looked a second time and he was gone forever. Probably since he got away the first time!
@@asapflavaK From what I remember, they interrogated him and let him go and then the body was found exactly how said it would and they could never find him again. Which is suspicious af. I remember that from a video/podcast I saw about this case but it was years ago, I'm 99% sure tho
@@voxxbg380 they mentioned most people at the party were from detroit, maybe the "homeless" guy was in town for a bit for this party, was responsible for kurt, then fled back to detroit?
@@asapflavaK Ah yes, that makes the most sense, we just got a bit confused. Thank you for clarifying!
I feel like the fact that he was drinking everclear keeps getting glossed over. dude. my friend got so ill just from a SHOT of it. she didn’t feel right for days. my theory is given it was an older crowd, he probably was peer-pressured into drinking far beyond his limits which likely got him obliterated (bc its everclear!!) & no one knew what to do with him in this state, so people at the party and/or his friends panicked & tried to get him to sober up. they got him to stay there, tried to take care of him for a few days, AND made a pact to not tell anyone or send him home out of fear of looking responsible, but bc he was consuming liquor that might as well be gasoline, it dehydrated the f out of his body and he unfortunately passed away from it. that would explain why deb was acting sketchy bc she knew this happened in HER household which makes her responsible for him, or bc she was saving everyone’s ass. notice how no one from that party (except his FRIENDS) ever talked. she told his mother he ‘possibly’ was in that cot bc she had a guilty conscience. I’d bet money on it.
is ever clear really nasty? is it a type of vodka or spirits or cider?
Leah Huntz it taste like rubbing alcohol lol
@@leahhuntz6236 it is "wood alcohol" I think. Kind of like vodka but tastes like rubbing alcohol because it is nearly pure alcohol.
His alcohol levels in the autopsy weren’t that of toxic levels though. Wouldn’t it be obvious in the autopsy if it were alcohol poisoning?
@@user-gb5om7sl5s If he died days after getting intoxicated according to the autopsy, wouldn't that be enough time for his BAL to drop?
Idk if you mentioned it and I missed it, but I’m wondering if all the “party” attendees were tracked down and questioned. Surely they could have provided some info on any odd behavior? Sounds like the police really dropped the ball here.
Btw, you’re glowing! Congrats on your pregnancy!!
Right??? Like there was probably soooo many people that could’ve provided alot of useful information. Maybe some that even could have saved him if it was done right.
I’m wondering how many of the party attendees were children of people who worked for the police department. It would explain why the cops wanted to completely brush this under the rug; they’re trying to protect their kids, who were involved in Kurt’s death, knowing that if they can buy enough time the statute of limitations will eventually keep their kids from being prosecuted even if the truth comes out.
@@Katie-mw7pd omg I didn’t even think of that but that would make so much sense. The fact that one of those kids at the party could know every single detail of what happened right now and just don’t say anything is sickening tbh
It's also possible that no one knows what happened and Kurt DID in fact walk off. It's also possible that, although there might have been quite a few people there, no one else was outside and only one person knows exactly what happened. That happened last year at a party near my hometown.
That could also explain the guy that accurately predicted that his body would be found 2 days later & no one would ever learn what really happened. He could have known one of the police officers. If they had already found the body & took the time to decide what to do & set an official date of discovery, he could have learned about it & tried to informed someone without giving too much detail that could be risky to himself.
Because almost nothing was found in the toxicology part of the autopsy, not one post mortem photo was taken at the scene, and the coroner named the manner of death as accidental instead of undetermined, I have to suspect that the coroner was pressured into participating in a cover-up.
Kendall, wondered if you'd want to cover a recent story for Naomi Irion, who was kidnapped from a Walmart parking lot in Nevada. Her body was just found and the known kidnapper and suspected murderer is Troy Drive.
She has a google doc that you can submit things like this to! :)
Please submit this in her google form would love more info
I live in Nevada but I haven't heard anything about this, thank you for sharing. I hope you submit it to her Google doc! rest in peace to Naomi.
That was so sad....she was just trying to go to work. I do think Kendall already knows about this case though, because I found out about it on Twitter because she liked a post by Naomi's sister.
Oouuu
The sketchy homeless guy is part of the murder, yes it’s definitely a murder. My heart breaks for Dorothy, burying 3 children and your husband. I pray Kevin has his own family these days.
Could be. However, if Kurt wasn't killed immediately and the homeless guy had something to do with it then where were they for the days leading up to it?
There's a good chance the homeless guy could've just been taking the piss. Murders bring out all sorts of weird people, so for a homeless guy to make a claim like this it could be false. The issue is if he was homeless then where did he keep him for 3 days before killing him? And he did get the day he was found right but that was a lucky guess regardless, there was no guarantee he would be found the day he placed him there.
@@NobodyUndefined it be coincidence and made it up or he did have something to do with it, and had maybe put kurt in the woods or something or he know the killer
I highly doubt it’s the homeless guy.
You can’t say it was ‘definitely a murder’ with nothing to back it up.
It’s INCREDIBLY strange that a couple hours ago I heard my dad watching the Unsolved Mysteries episode about this case, and then I just opened CZcams about 20 minutes ago to see you’d uploaded this. What a wild coincidence!
Do you have Alexa? Cause those devices listen in.
@@Isabel-ge1ou I mean yeah they do, but how would that make sense in this situation? 😅
Isabel Doesn’t make sense here....
Maybe not a coincidence, maybe there is higher energy being drawn to the case because it needs to be solved so he can rest peacefully
@@Isabel-ge1ou yeah kendall would have covered this case regardless of what Alexa heard on tv
Awe Man, Kevin broke my heart. It has to be so sad and so hard outliving your whole family. All the memories and probably all the items left behind by each of them. It’s a lot to handle..
Kendall, this being your first pregnancy you’re really going to feel a difference in your body. I’m 35 weeks pregnant with my second baby and girl I am ready to have this baby. I feel extremely pregnant it’s hard to even walk. I would say the last two months are the toughest. Good luck and I am so happy for you 🥰
There's something about this case that really gets to me. That poor brother who is left. His poor mum who just wanted to know what happened. It just seems like there wasn't enough done !!!
When I was pregnant I had really bad sinus troubles. Dry, stuffy and frequent nose bleeds. I got a humidifier and slept with it on every night and I found it helped a lot! If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend that you do! 🤗 Congratulations to you and Josh! You look so beautiful!
Great advise and such a kind comment. I agree❤
I felt pregnant before I knew it's what made me take the test. I had bad periods before I got pregnant. My cramps felt like contractions. My pregnancy wasn't too bad(🙏🏽) with symptoms sleeping was difficult tho. My hubby drove me to the hospital. I found out I was in labor already, my water hadn't broken and I was already 10cm dilated. They asked now or never for the shot, I took it. They broke my "water". The shot slowed down all progress to the point that something felt off. I had a natural birth but he was facing down. The process to get him out was traumatic af but soooo worth it.🥰😍 My son is 14 now. Happy, healthy honor roll student. Time passes so fast. I'm greatful to all good parents. Pats on the back to all good moms and dads✌🏽❤
I had sinus issues as well. I used to use sugar free cough drops .
I don't remember having sinus problems I do remember really bad heartburn
@@birdie58 I remember having heart burn so bad that I had to google how many tums you could have before it was too many lol. In case anyone's wondering, it's a LOT.
I hope that somewhere, in whatever afterlife there is, Kevin's family is all together, got their answers, and have their peace. I hope kevin is okay. Someday, when his body is ready, he'll get to see his family again. Sending so much love. Such a sad story. Stay safe everyone.
Dorothy seems like exactly what a mother should be. My heart breaks for her and it’s so amazing she never gave up on her son. I truly hope they are reunited now ❤️
I just don't understand how these murders are never solved. When I was in grade school my friend and her Mom were brutally murdered in their home. The house was then set on fire. They had a suspect and tried him, but the police totally botched the investigation. This was 33 years ago! I always wonder is someone like you Kendall could shed some more light on the case.
she has a case request form i believe in the subscription box
Omg am so sorry 😞 that happened to your friend
You should def send Kendall a report in the request box she has.
In the description box, there is a link for people close to the victim to request a case. I am so sorry for your loss.
I completely know what you mean. I had 3 family members murdered (2 I don’t know every detail but this one I do so I will speak on it) My cousin was brutally murdered in 2002 and honestly our whole family believe she was murdered by her boyfriend at the time and that he’s linked to numerous attempted abductions, sexual assaults, and possibly another murder that took place in that area and he’s been looked at, observed, questioned, etc. he was very abusive towards her (I won’t go into all details) and they were on and off for years. My mom will never forget my cousin saying “if anything happens to me, it’s him.” Cops completely botched her case too even though he had priors for domestic violence, my cousin had an OOP on him at one point and was in the process of pressing charges for assault (he talked her out of going through with it) he’s still walking free 19 almost 20 years later despite all of that. It’s so sad… I’ll never forgive that on the police’s part, my cousin sits in a cold case while her killer walks free and doesn’t get caught. There’s so many cold cases, my heart breaks for every single one of them.
I was intrigued by one little thing - both boys who were lost and found without one shoe had surnames that came from Czech. Sova means owl in Czech and Kvet means flower.
so... could it be that there were a lot of Czech immigrants in the area? she did mention that it was a "rough" neighborhood, maybe even a higher density of immigrants in the area than elsewhere?
@@dumajimo It can be... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with crime, I just thought it was interesting.
@i Maybe!
Sova in Bulgarian also means owl. I guess in russian it means the same. It’s a well known fact, that crimes against people from other nationalities have been mishandled in the past. If you’re suspicious are correct, I won’t be surprised if the original leads investigator knew more, that he documented. Even the autopsy may be fake. Someone at the age of 17 to just drop dead is highly unlikely.
@@dumajimo didn't kendall say that they moved from that neighbourhood before the murder happened?
I remember when I first started watching your channel like 5 years ago. It's crazy to see how much you've changed. Your videos helped me through my up's and downs and my failed relationships and now you get to experience something so positive. I'm so happy for you and your family about your pregnancy. You really deserve this. I'm so happy you're still here.
Hearing that his mom was searching dumpsters for his body just breaks my heart 😥💔
It’s a pity the Cold Case Detectives didn’t look into the other case where the young man was placed into the same area without his shoe as it could be the same people
Maybe they did.
It's so weird! They were both red heads too.
So sorry for the family on this one but unfortunately I don't think this case is going to be solved unless the killer feels remorse and confesses. The initial investigation was done so poorly that there is no information to go off of. Even the coroners report was vague.
I wonder if there's any other DNA testing they could do - even just to pin down where he was, and who he was with 🤷🏽♀️
Great video Kendall. I was born in Cleveland just months before Kurt's death. I grew up about a 10 minute drive from the ravine where Kurt's body was found. I pray that his family gets justice for him.
RIP Kurt! Poor kid. Dorothy was a QUEEN and a fighter. Poor Kurt's family. How awful. This whole case is a reminder of how dangerous this world is.
This is an extremely sad story for all involved. His parents tried so hard and no one would seemingly list to them. The time and effort Kurt's mother put into his case is incredible but also must have been heartbreaking for her to never know what exactly happened to her son. Now the only one left to continue the mothers quest is her last surviving son. I hope that the truth comes out and this decades old case is finally solved.
Now her an her son are together with the lord an savior 🙏🙏
@Jay Browne and you are an ass!
The word was meant to be "listen" and most people with common sense realize it is simply a typo! However, trolls ALWAYS have a smartass comment and you have yet again proven this. But hey, thanks for playing!
True, its is so sad. Many YT'rs have covered this case. It's never sat right with me. It made me feel like this town has a secret and he unfortunately wasn't the only one. Some of the details and eyewitnesses have made me raise a brow. Honestly, made me feel like there are a group of ppl in that town. Who are apart of and into something sinister...smh
@Jay Browne BOOOOOOOO!! Go somewhere else👎🏼👎🏼
@@sugarrose8640 agree
I've watched a lot of true crime content but this one hits differently. The dedication, resilience, and Dorothy's pure love for Kurt nearly brought tears to my eyes. Then to see Kevin, the only family member left on this earth with us, advocating for his lost brother is just heartbreaking. I am so sorry for the loss of the entire family, however I know without a doubt that they reunited. I hope they are celebrating being together again. We stand with you kevin, extending so much love to you.
Rest in peace Kurt and Eugene, I hope justice is served 💔🙏🏼
Seeing that this story got covered is really touching to me. My uncle is Jon Miller, and he always talks about how much Kurt meant to him, so I REALLY hope that they can get closure at some point…
Dorothy was such a great mother 🥰. She never gave up on her child until the day she passed 😔. I pray 🙏🏼 this case gets solved and hopefully it’s before Kevin passes away too. RIP Kurt & now your parents are with you in heaven, so now they can get Rest In Peace as well 🙌🏼❣️ Side not: I definitely believe that he was murdered.
My gosh Kevin. And your family. Your mom. Love and prayers.
Kendall, please cover the case of Melissa Skye Collins! She is a girl I went to high school with, she did chorus and I did band so I knew her well. She was murdered a week before graduation. It will mean a lot to me and my hometown to see her case get covered. 🥰
She has a request form in the description box!
@@blaah9999 thank you! I just sent it to her 😁
I hope Kurt has already reunited with his mother and father, as well as his two older brothers, and that they are guiding Kevin through his grief.
*Whoever was responsible for Kurt's death, I hope they have already experienced their best karma*
I find it strange that the record store owner is the only one who saw or spoke to the homeless man even stranger that it looked like someone had slept on her couch. I think she knows way more then she's said
Different woman.
Wow, I've never heard of "crowdsolve" before and it sounds genius!! More eyes and thoughts on cases is always a good idea!
Same! I live in Chicago and mad I missed the one on Kurt’s case.
did his friend set him up by taking him to that party?? this is such an interesting case. thank you Kendall
Yes sounds odd that he left to get a jacket bc it was cold & was very detail 🤔
I was wondering the same thing! Glad someone else thought this too
Seems strange that this friend was the only one that knew he went to this party. If it was October, why wouldn't you have brought the jacket outside to begin with? Also why wouldn't you ask around to see if anyone had seen him when he wasn't there 2 min. later?
@@peanutmonkey2 EXACTLY
I think it’s strange Kendall said he was wearing a Jean jacket the day he went missing but then he wasn’t at the party or when his body was found.
Unsolved cases are always particularly sad to me, but this made me tear up. Especially his mother dying without ever knowing what happened to Kurt and his brother’s passionate plea at the press conference. Ugh 💔
I watch a lot of your videos(if not all of them) and the common denominator in most of these unsolved cases is, bad police work. It is extremely sad, I hope his brother finds out what happened to his brother!
It's unimaginable losing someone you love like this but on top of that, the POLICE not caring about finding justice for them? Being ignored? Never getting answers? Dying not knowing what happened? His brother being the last surviving member of the family is super heartbreaking.
Very interesting case. I truly hope we get answers some day.
Thanks for the video, Kendall! You're glowing ☺️
I remember the Unsolved Mysteries episode!!! She was so heartbroken I’ll never forget her saying “ I won’t stop until I found out what happened to my boy” that episode always stuck with me 🥺❤️
I totally remember watching this case on Unsolved Mysteries and it is so scary and heartbreaking. His parents never stopped looking.
Sounds like he saw something that ultimately led to his death. Chances are the cops knew and just ignored the family. I pray someone comes forward.
Why wasn’t the host of that party a prime suspect, continuously changing her story. Especially if a minor went missing from her house. And how do you not know someone is sleeping in your basement!? And not know if it’s their child!? Like what!?
I totally agree!
they totally failed him. so upsetting 💔
It almost sounds like he might have been dead on that cot in the basement, and not sleeping. I don't know what her motivation was for making that call, but the timing of it to when his body was found is extremely suspicious.
It's always so upsetting when families like Kurt's get no justice or closure because of our broken criminal system. Every suspicious case deserves to be looked into. Hell, include suicides in that since it's been proven that those can be faked and have been. I definitely think he was killed. At the very least the coroner should have listed the death as undetermined. Like, they had no clue and just...guessed...
Please look into my missing friend, Cheyann Klus. Missing since 2017.
My father committed suicide last year, and because of the way he did it and where, his suicide was actually caught on camera and there were other civilians that witnessed it. Even though it was all on camera, I was shocked to discover that at least in my area, the police open a case for every single suicide, which includes them obtaining all of the individuals medical records, an extensive autopsy, and speaking to those close to the individual. It took several months for them to actually finally close the case, and again, that was for a very straight forward suicide. I know of so many true crime cases where a death (especially suspicious ones) is just automatically ruled a suicide, and no investigation of any kind is launched, so to actually experience the opposite from my local police department, especially for a very cut and dry suicide, was such a (welcomed) surprise. I really wish all police departments would enact that same kind of protocol. My heart breaks for all of the families of victims who get blown off by the people who are supposed to be the ones responsible for helping them and acting on their valid concerns over their missing or killed loved ones. So many unsolved cases could have been solved if police/investigators took swift action the moment someone was reported missing, regardless of whether they initially thought it was a run away or someone leaving on their own terms.
I'm not sure this is was due to a broken criminal system, unless you're referring specifically to the corrupt investigator.
The note and flowers to the record store is so eerie…
Love your videos!! You're a natural story teller. Only came across you recently, but I'm hooked.
I'm from Ireland & there's a couple of cases I'd love you to cover & see what your take is on them.
The first is Mary Boyle. She is probably the most well known & longest missing child case in Ireland. There are many theories & possible police & political cover ups in play, which I think is right down your alley. She was also from my local area, so we all want to know what happened to Mary.
The second is Jason Corbett. He was an Irishman living in the US who was murdered by his second wife & her father ( most people believe), however their convictions were overturned. A very strange case.
I'd love it if you could cover these.
Cheers,
Donna Patterson x
Fill out her Google doc that she has for people to recommend new cases.
I choked up when his Brother started talking 😢 you could hear the pain they all went through as a family from losing their baby boy! Amazing video as usual! You are glowing 😍
Over the years that I've watched this channel, I have learned something. Cops really don't like to work do they?
I don’t think it’s any better now than it was back then.
A lot of cops are useless but there is some that actually try their absolute best to help.
And a lot of murderers out there walking the streets as a result
This is so sad, this family went through so much. I hope Kevin gets to know the truth and find peace. Police really failed this family, they deserved better.
I LOVE that you thank your sponsors and plug them at the end of your videos!!
As always, another case presented with respect and accuracy. Well done Kendall!
This case hurts my heart so much. Make sure you're taking care of yourself when you're doing these episodes for us. Your heart totally changes when you start to see yourself in the shoes of a grieving parent. ❤️
The weirdest thing said about this case to me was when Debbie told Kurt's mother Dorothy that most of the people at the party was from out of town. That gives me major ritual vibes. Doesn't really explain the other body found in the ravine though. 🤯
You too?
Right so it's really weird How Kurt's "friend" Sam even knew about that party to take him there. Like how would Sam even know them if they're from out of town what made him want to go to that party. Hes sus to.
IDK if I'd call it ritual vibes but definitely red flag vibes
Everyone who was at that party should have been interrogated
@@tauraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa there are so many different rituals out there. We can't know who or what they may have sacrificed him to, or if they would have marked his body
You’re going to be a kick ass mom! So happy for you and your family
Lord please bring some peace to Kevin and justice for his brother this so heartbreaking 💔 no mother should go through this I’m so upset she didn’t get her answers I really hope they find the ones responsible
This is definitely one of those "will-we- ever-know?-mysteries" These cases haunt me the most.
On another note; Kendall you look beautiful! You 100% have that pregnancy glow 🥰 Btw I nearly died when you announced your due date is in my same birth month of Aug! The world needs another Leo 🖤❣
August babies are the best
I’m an August baby, too!
Iam a late July Leo.but still a Leo. And I also agree this world needs more Leo's in it.
Congrats Kendall 💛
Same Here I’m Aug 21 Definitely a True Leo 👌🏼👍🏼❤️
Can't believe that the man walked in the record store and told that to the owner!
That can't be coincidence, he had to know more about it... then the note and the flowers... very weird! Wish they found the truth and get justice!
When his mother was looking for him the day after the party, she had no idea he was alive. So sad. Rip. 🙏🏼
I am a new subbie. I appreciate your logic and clear reporting. Thank you for your time to keep us informed. Blessings.
I know people want closure. I 100% believe someone murdered him. We might never know but his death was no “accident”. It’s sad because most people who were involved are dead. I hope justice is served this is not okay. This was no coincidence the person who prophesied him being found was probably the murderer. If not he was in on it or knew something it is just weird how they just “disappeared”.
His body was dumped somewhere after being missing for days. Clearly he was murdered. No doubt about it.
@@DavidKen878 Other theories explain this though
@@vengerberg3125 Like what?
@@DavidKen878 That he died at the house later on after becoming ill in some way and was then dumped so nobody would get in trouble. The owner said somebody had been sleeping there, and had already changed her story several times which isn’t the best look for her.
Sam’s story seemed sketchy. Who was he partying with all day before the actual party? He was already wasted. But he supposedly didn’t die that night. Who was he continuing to party with the next couple of days? I would think his buddy Sam. Also the only person that connected him to that party. I think Kurt was influenced by Sam and some of his older friends who went to the party. He decided to let loose and stayed at that house a few days. That Debra girl was sketchy about it probably because he was down there wasted or hung over when parents came looking but was told not to tell them. Unfortunately, at some point, something happened. Maybe he partied too hard and ODed on something else they didn’t test for. Debra’s conscience got the better of her and she made that call. But her boyfriend or Sam or someone found out and rushed to move the body. But now they’ve screwed with an investigation and everything got out of hand and no one’s willing to risk saying anything. His death may have actually been accidental to a degree, but those who contributed to it aren’t going to fess up. The homeless guy could have just made that comment unwittingly. And someone else could have just been screwing with the store owner to get a rise out of her. All involved basically immature asshats.
I remember hearing about this Case on the Trace Evidence Podcast. I’m happy you covered it. 😊
I discovered your channel about over a month ago and I'm hooked. 🤦🏽♀️❤️😭 I'm very invested in true crime and have been contemplating on whether to start my own channel or not. Really love your channel and you as a person, thank you for helping all the victims & their families, plus the Her Justice. ❤️❤️❤️📍 Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I so want to know about that guy who left the flowers and prediction 'poem' outside the record store. It's spooky! The cops were totally useless. RIP Kurt.
It’s rare that you do a case about someone I haven’t heard of. Thanks for bringing awareness to a cold case. Also, excited to see you on your mom journey, it is truly a blessing.
I checked to see how much of your video was left towards the end. Hoping and yearning for a resolution. Justice for the family. This case shattered me. So heartbreaking. I hope for justice for Kurt someday ❤
I remember seeing this case on Unsolved Mysteries so many years ago. It always stuck with me as he looked like a nice kid. Hopefully some day they’ll find an answer. Obviously someone knows what happened to him.
Being from this county just really drives home how scary it is that the justice system is like this. Could have been someone I know or even myself that was lost in our county and to know this is how it would have been handled is just terrifying. Appreciate you shedding light on this!
This is just a heartbreaking story. We know the people at that party knew something.
I started feeling the same around 20 weeks with my son 😂 and yes, the congestion SUCKS but typically goes away right after having the baby. You’re doing great Mama!
Wow, what an amazing Mama. She saved every piece of information she could. I pray this is solved.
We have to remember in older cases like this, the drinking age in many states was 18, not 21. It didn't change until 84. So obtaining alcohol wasn't as difficult, nor were high school parties with seniors and college kids as likely to be broken up by police. Still a tragic story, and I hope the family finds closure.
Yeah my dad said they would drive to NJ (from PA) and get drunk and come back over the bridge because it was 21 in Pennsylvania vs 18 in NJ and this was the late 70s early 80s.
In 84, it changed to 19. In 86 it changed to 21. I remember this because I was the right age at both changes, at least in my state.
Here in Australia, the drinking age is 18
Lol it was probs so easy back then considering nowadays when I was in highschool (age 15-17) it was so easy to get alcohol kids even had fake IDs and age 21. Parties every weekend (almost all got busted at some point) lots of drugs too. (Weed, Coke, molly, acid, ecstasy, xanax, you name it.) so idk if this was uncommon back then? But I feel like if it’s still super common it was even more so back then haha. I grew up in the suburbs of chicago btw
Thanks for covering bby. Ohio need some love and this case is devastating.
If there’s an afterlife I hope the Sova family are together and Dorothy has peace. 😞😞
I feel that "acquaintance" of Kurt's that thought he saw Kurt say "Franco!" and then jumped in a van was confused. It probably wasn't Kurt or he was mistaken on the timeline.
