Yess lol

Best comment ever!
Fine looking man for sure!
Stephanie saying “I’m not going anywhere. We’re going to be together forever, all of us” = the most comforting thing I’ve ever heard. 💜
Right!
What’s the best Stephanie quote?
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
🤗💕💕
14:20 it would be dangerous for searchers to search but not for hunters to hunt ? I mean if its dangerous for one should be equally dangerous for the other, right ?
I don't think there's a single chance for a mother having 6 months to talk to her son just because her daughter in law doesn't allow it.
*Me:* in a really dark place, crying in my car on the side of the highway realizing I am totally alone with nowhere to go, nobody to go to, and no one to call.
*Stephanie:* “I’m not going anywhere, we’re going to be together forever. All of us.”
I know this is being spoken to 600k people and I am just one person who you don’t actually know - but I needed somebody to tell me that.
Praying for you!
Jade, you are certainly not alone! You are stuck with me for as long as you will have me 🤣 That’s the same thing I tell my husband 😛
I cried in my car all day yesterday. I get feeling totally alone. But theres always something to live for even when it doesn’t feel like it. Sending you a big hug!
you are not alone! going thru a rough time too. I know exactly what u mean by hearing something like that and taking it personally cuz it speaks to u at just the right time. Hope time heals u and things start looking up💙
We are here with you. ❤ Dont ever feel alone. Theres people that have your back & you dont even know it ❤ Dont give up, just keep swimming!
Ive seen A LOT of videos on this family, but this is the only one that shows multiple photos of the family. I really appreciate that. It makes THEM the center of the video, not just what happened to them.
Is anyone else really rooting for Stephanie to get to 1mil subs? With the amount of work she does for us, she absolutely deserves that gold play button!!
Awww thanks!
Yesssss 🙌🏻
YUP!!! I want everyone to succeed but can’t help notice of all the true crime you tubers, Stephanie is the GOAT
Yes!! Tell all my friends about her channel in the hopes of her getting to 1 million subs
@@a.epessimal4774 that's my plan too!!
I know people like to complain when cases get covered over and over again... but I LOVE it when Stephanie covers a well-known case. I think to myself "finally! I will get the facts and nothing but the facts, with a few extra facts thrown in"! Thank you Stephanie! Well researched and presented, as ALWAYS!! ❤❤
Absolutely she does an indepth case study and i look forward to her case study
Same!
FACTS! 🤣🤣
I’ve literally never heard of this case! Lol, I don’t watch the news though! 😂
@@daryle2402 A few years back it sort of made the rounds throughout the true crime community on CZcams.
“We’re going to be together. Forever. All of us. Got it?”
Oh, don’t threaten us with a great time, Stephanie! 🤣 love love love this channel, the community, and all that you do.
Absolutely!! We're all one big, happy, crazy, true crime loving fam here!!!
I just hope you realize how many people actually need you in their lives.. and the “I’m not going anywhere. We’re stuck together. Forever. All of us” is all totally okay with us. 😂👻
It’s all I want. For us to go in like this forever 🤣 Seriously, I’m not good with change!
@@StephanieHarlowe 😆😆😂😂🤦♀️
DITTO ! IM GOOD WITH IT 🤩👍
I Thought the same, and that look she gave...I felt it deep in my soul! It made me feel loved, and warmed my heart!
I came here to say the same thing. Sooo happy to be "stuck" with y'all.
Their families defending them saying “they’ve never seen them TAKE meth” and how could they raise their daughter??? My mom would’ve said the same about me before I left for rehab to over come an opiate addiction! I have 3 kids I cared for. Families are in denial. Drug addicts WILL NOT expose themselves to family!!!
Exactly! Like your kid ain't gonna spark up at Sunday dinner
@@danielleshovlin5369 BUT… they wouldn’t be able to eat very much. You just have to know what to look for. And sadly, many families are in denial.
Yeah I definitely agree. Drug addicts get excellent at hiding their drug use. The one weird thing about that is that they didn't find any drugs, paraphernalia, or even residue in their car or home... Something you would expect to find, even if hidden, somewhere in either their home or car if they were really using quite a bit.
Yep. Functioning addicts.
If they were using meth, paranoia makes a lot of sense. If they were using and selling, paranoia makes a TON of sense.
Meth is heavily associated with entities, no surprise. You basically invite in.
I definitely feel they were murdered, drug related and someone knows. Period. Poor child was collateral damage.
What seems odd out of that though was they found nothing like that in their home or car at all know matter how well they was keeping it hid from family it seems like they would have been something in the home at least residue.
I know this from having a family member that got into selling and taking Meth the longer they was taking it the less they became worried about their home also they said that they had been on pain pills bad and when they got where they couldn't get them they went to Meth and that it was so much harder to hide then the opiates abuse know one ever knew they had a problem with pain meds but family knew after a few months something bad was going on after they started dealing and taking Meth.
This is just a odd and sad case.
Me: *holding breath*
Stephanie: don’t worry everyone, the dog is fine
Me: OH THANK GOD 🙌🏻
Same
Same
YES❣️
I did the same!!! 😁😉
Same!
That sarcasm right?
The parent’s, Sherilynn and Bobby, seem to have such a wide range of differing appearances in their photos. No two pictures look similar. I think this is a reflection of how much chaos was going on in their family.
I noticed that too, first thing actually. It reenforces the drug use for me.
I thought the exact same thing...it was confusing me.
@@jenniferlane9000 It's also a common sign of mental illness, especially paranoid or detached behaviour.
It’s a sign of meth addiction.
That plus the hallucinations and the weight loss
There was another young man who disappeared from Eufala in a similar manner to this family... His name was Tommy Eastep. His truck and personal belongings were found but his remains weren't discovered until 3 years after he went missing... 1 mile from the truck and within where the search parties scoured for him.
His story sticks out to me because I spoke with his mother... I worked in student loan processing and she was trying to get his student loans put on hold for him. I will never forget his story :(
Duuude😮
what a society we live in that when someone goes missing and turns up dead you have to ask for their student loans to be put on hold……
Thank you for remembering to update us on the puppy and that she recovered. Sometimes that information gets left out and it matters especially if it's the only positive part of the tragedy
The supernatural theory just reinforces the meth angle for me. Hallucinations are common when coming off meth, and often play off the imagination. If they thought the house was haunted, then the hallucinations probably took that shape.
Jolly Roger Who told you that hallucinations are "common" when "coming off meth"? SLEEP is about the only thing that happens. SLEEP for DAYS.
@@zariballard it's called meth psychosis... And yes it is common and seen it first hand multiple times from multiple people.
Well, that's terrifying. My imagination and I wouldn't get along if I ever took meth. Not that I'm ever planning on it, but my friends have been roofied and drugged through drinks and weed and stuff so it can happen.
@@erinw.9256 But meth specifically had to be injected, no? I really have no idea, of so, I don't think it's easy for you or anyone to get your drink spiked/roofied/etc. Right?
I think hallucinations are common when ON meth, not coming off.
My father was a Pastor and he always told me that even in a confession or a consulting session he was mandated to report anyone who he thought might be a danger to themselves or others. While people do have privacy, there are mandated reporters who are legally obligated to break privacy if it means protecting someone.
When I see that pic of Madyson (sp?) I see/feel that a stranger took it, and that she’s looking off to the side at her parents who are trying to comfort her and coaching her to just listen and do what the stranger is telling her to do. The poor thing looks terrified
I agree. It’s a terrifying pic. She may be worried about her dog and I think her arms are crossed because 1. she is cold, 2. She is scared. Her face is confused by what she is looking at. She may be pleading. This story is very disturbing no matter what occurred.
@@Cynsome1i definitely think she was worried about her dog!
Every time I hear this case covered, I feel like , as someone from a hunting family, there is a theory no one discusses. It was deer season, the search itself was called off BECAUSE it was dangerous to be in the woods because you could be mistaken as a deer, and shot.
So it’s always to me been a possibility that they exited the car, maybe to let the girl pee cause didn’t we all have a situation where we couldn’t make it so our parents let us pee in the woods on the side of the road? And then someone... was accidentally shot by a hunter. A hunter who then heard a human scream, and realized then and there he was in danger of going to prison, so he... simply took out the witnesses, stashed the bodies, and simply didnt even think to ever check the car, didn’t KNOW about the car, because this was a hunting accident - turned - panic homicide. Maybe the flower was a form of apology to assuage some guilt the hunter had for killing the girl.
I’ve never heard ANYONE bring this up? And it amazes me because it would make the most sense to me, anyway.
It’s a much better theory than the others listed.
Good point and thanks for speaking for those who hunt to fill their freezers.
I honestly think this is pretty likely now that you make me think about it.
I was thinking this as I was listening. Espically if that person was illegally hunting to begin with
This could also explain the flower. Hunter returned riddled with guilt.
I feel so bad for the son. I hope that he's living a good life today and that he and his family will see justice one day
What I can say from my own experience is that it's absolutely possible to get involved in drugs without family and friends knowing or even suspecting...
They was definitely doing drugs
I agree. I was so convinced my sister was clean for years…her toxicology report after her veering to the wrong side of the road and killing herself and my 9 year old niece and injuring another family of four, showed she was on meth. And I wasn’t blinded I honestly couldn’t stand my sister and was waiting for her to mess up so I can take my niece. They definitely could’ve hidden it well.
@@ChristinaManzo3 ☮️💜
I think this is true because even though some family members recognize it, they can’t even admit it to themselves when it’s going on. But I think there are usually at least one family member who just knows, a sibling or a parent usually. I knew when a family member was using but nobody believed me when I said something and the person was really good at hiding it. I just “felt” that something “off” or was wrong and noticed subtle changes.
Yes. I often run around with $30k in cash when drugs are ruling over all my better senses....
This one has bothered me for years. They definitely met with foul play. I think Madison looks terrified, too. Just a very tragic, very puzzling case.
I saw you featured in the new, “What Happened, Brittany Murphy?” Documentary on HBO!! Congrats on being recognized and getting that spotlight!
Nice! She was also in a Netflix doc I saw not long ago. I forget the lady’s name, but the one who was at the Cecil hotel and passed away, found deceased in the water tower. She was featured in that show also!
@@capric0rpse Elisa Lam! I saw that one too!
@@capric0rpse I totally forgot I saw her in that, as well! She's doing such a great job and working so hard! certainly an inspiration.
That's awesome! I will check it out.
I feel like Stephanie was also on don't mess with cats on Netflix. I could be wrong tho.
As Detective Ken Main says, the key clue to me, was the dog being left in the truck without water and food and with the windows all the way up. They absolutely would not have left the dog to die
I believe there was foul play involved and it was most likely linked to drugs, it's the only explanation that somewhat makes sense to me. If they were new to the whole "dealing" thing and expected a quick deal they left the dog in the car because they expected to be back soon.
Also the child was not found next to parents but something like 100 mt from them and she probably died waiting for help while the parents were killed. I am quite sure they were taken there by car, it was a very cold October, it rained and how could have they walked so far from their car with back injuries and a 6 years old kid. So who knew they were there with a lot of money and they had a gun? Who they would have trust so much to let the dog in the car believing they were going to come back... whoever knew it is the killer, took the money and the gun, kept the little girl there waiting and was also able to keep the dog in the car (meaning he knew the dog). Sure thing not a drug dealer but a friend or worst someone of their family. Probably we will never know for sure but I suspect someone in the family.
@@TheAkwarium nah, who on earth take that amount of money and especially a child in such situation? Really really nobody.
@@biancaenera2500i live in Florida and A LOT of people with kids do drugs. They might do the best they can,.or they dont care at all...but many people dont really care. It just IS.
What i focus on is what the best friend of Sherilyn said, that she drove right up there and saw all those Texas plates lined up at a house. Thats a drug house. I'd name the States i wouldn't want to drive through their mountains...
I think it was a drug deal, or more than one...the people didn't know the money was there. Or couldn't find it. Took them up there and shot them. Or they'd walked out themselves...they were executed. No sheriff no matter how much a hotshot ..is going after those guys. Oklahoma is extremely dangerous AND it is haunted!! They were right on one thing.
I think they were nervous about the drug deal...and if they were using them, they were short on cash ontop of needing money for drugs.
So Sherilynn had mental health issues, her and Bobby had issues with their marriage, Bobby had physical health issues, yet they were going to buy a piece of land and live in a storage unit in a dangerous area on their own? This doesn't sound like a good idea. So many unanswered questions here, such a weird case.
People will do anything they think will “fix” their problems, I can understand the move being an effort to help mental health & marriage issues but agreed, Bobby’s health kind of trumps all of those issues. Just my speculation!
It is all very bizarre
I think it likely they went for a short walk and got lost. It’s much more likely than murder
And layed side by side, FACE DOWN as they were dying?! If they were found huddled up, or even spread apart, in different positions, I'd buy it, but not the way they were found. SOMEONE put them like that AFTER they were dead, and if you come across a dead family in the middle of nowhere, you call the authorities, you don't nearly arrange them and leave.
Very good point. Some people over exaggerate their pain esp. When getting disability checks are involved. 2 adults living off Disability benefits. They had $32,000 in cash. The paranoia screams drug use.
She looks like she is looking at her parents for comfort as whoever is taking her picture. She looks terrified. That picture is heartbreaking.
She was pinching herself. My daughter does this when really upset. Doctor said it's normal for kids to hurt themselves when they can't control the situation (bang their head on the floor, pinch themselves, throw body on the ground, ext). I think she was upset and looking at her parents. I believe they missed a lot of evidence out there. They need to start over and start with the people who knew where they would be, the man who had the land first of all.
I know that the 11 page letter about her not liking her marriage seems really strange and could be interpreted as motive, but I have bipolar as well and have 100% written lengthy letters/journal entries as to why I feel my marriage may not be working. Emotions with bipolar are INCREDIBLY strong even when they aren’t what you actually think or feel. I write those things feeling like they are 100% what I feel and what I want to do, but the truth is I wake up the next morning and don’t even remember writing it or why I was so upset to write it.
I have it as well, and concur. Long writings ..not always whats meant...not always sent. But im careful to never say things that are untrue. For this reason.
Luckily i can barely read my own handwriting.😂
Yes my mil was bi polar and she would write and write often during some issues
Great insight and something to keep in mind about the disorder, thank you.
This was literally what I was told to do to work through my feelings.
I kind of think it’s a mix of some of the theories. As the daughter of two addicts, it’s completely believable to me that if they were such hermits no one would’ve known about their drug use or selling. I think the dad who was mixed up with drugs also got his son involved when he was working at the gas station with him. Meth also causes extreme paranoia and hallucinations, ie the “spirits” in their house.
I believe this 💯. I live near this area, and 3rd generation Okie. Sadly it’s quite common to have meth ruin generations of families, and no one wants to admit there’s a problem. So sad.
Completely agree. I also grew up around addicts and all their behavior points to meth use in my opinion. Especially when they mentioned the dad's eyes being black and looking possessed. His pupils were probably dilated from the drug use. 😔
Today is my son's birthday. He turned 14 at 10:32am. I just got home from work and about to start his birthday dinner preparations when he comes in the kitchen and says, "Mom! Harloween posted! Mind if we listen together?".
So, I'm starting a cake batter and my not so little boy is sitting at the table completely happy to spend this time with me. ❤️ Thank you. Who knew when I started watching you, your channel would be the tender necessary to buy time with my half grown son. 😊
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dang! Colton was a smart boy! If he hadn't told the courts that his mom was struggling with her mental health, and requested to live with his dad full time, he would have been with them when they disappeared! That's gotta mess with your head, and he was only 12 years old. I feel bad for him... as the only survivor, he's going to need counseling for any "survivor's guilt" he might experience.
I swear this channel makes me a better mom. Lol. If it wasn't for Stephanie I wouldn't be able to do my dishes or anything. Coffee and True crime make me be able to get my butt out of bed and focused on what I need to do. It turns tedious work and chores into something I really enjoy because I'm captivated by her story telling. Thankyou!!!

@@JL-hk8vl or tea! But always a good time for sure
Wait we also need our wine!!! 🍷🙌🏼💜
The thing about them doing meth: the police never found any evidence of drug use in the house or the car. I don't know but I'm pretty skeptical that someone in such a compromised mental state would be able to hide everything.
I doubt they'd have that stuff around their kid. Probably a secret connect or a supplier
Nah, people who do meth are PARANOID. I’ve seen people scrub their floors out of fear a tiny piece of residue would be there if the cops came. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
People who do drugs don't care if it's around their kid. Addiction makes you lose who you are. I would know first hand. Not saying anything bad about them but the drug use makes you do things so out of character sadly. Again not saying they did or didn't do drugs. And I also agree ... if you actively use drugs there would be empty bags, needles, pipes etc. My car was littered with them. And If someone attacked them, they wouldn't clean out all the paraphernalia and leave all that money
I was born and raised, and still live 20 minutes from Red Oak. Many of my friends, who knew them personally (I did not ), have said that it was definitely drug involvement, but they were new to it. They didn’t know how dangerous the drug game can REALLY be. This is why they took their daughter with them because they were naive, and thought it was going to be an easy transaction for a quick buck. This is just what has been said around town over the years.
All these small towns talk, and everyone knows someone that’s involved in drugs. It’s so sooo bad around here! The people I’ve talked to are pretty credible, so I have to believe there is some truth to it. It’s sad no matter what…😔
i cant buy the drug angle with 30 grand left in the truck any scumbag looking for drugs would have searched the truck
@@ramoncarter3121 idk though bcus I thought the same but the theory the sheriff said could make sense about the brown suitcase being missing. Maybe they got what they wanted in the suitcase and didn’t know/expect them to have that kind of money hidden under the seat 🤷🏼♀️
What I don’t get though is that their weird behavior sounds like they were definitely on drugs but if that’s the case how did they find no evidence or even residue of drugs in their house 🤔
@@ashleyrose2176 I don't know but maybe if they were still trying to be good parents they specifically avoided taking drugs in their house where their daughter was... but then they apparently brought her along for a drug deal so I feel like that's a stretch.
@@adelest9500 not really ive known plenty who do just that they don't bring the drugs home they keep them in garage or camper or cabin ect... some don't do them just sell them as well so wouldn't have open stuff.
The Colton of it all is sus to me. A boy doesn't reject a happy loving family because his mom gets depressed. I feel like this family was deeply messy.
Yeah, I thought this too.... As the public, we're clearly missing a piece of the family dynamics (from the son and the mother-in-law relationship)
I agree. The way the mom and friend are so dismissive of all of the weird crap Sherilynn did and the obvious marital issues is baffling to me.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too.
@@NamelessGrace And the casual mentions of witches, hauntings and just they didn't think it was serious. Like, what?
Yeah, there's obviously more to it.
Stephanie please do a video on Fawn Marie Mountain. She was a 25 year old who disappeared from Claysburg, Pa in November 2012. Allegedly murdered by her lover, Heather Dibert. No body ever found, Heather was the last to see her and was never even questioned by the cops. $10,000 reward is being offered to find the truth about what happened to Fawn. Maybe you can bring some awareness of this tragic case. Maybe we could even raise some more money to offer as a reward so that this young woman can have justice.
I work at the veterinary hospital and when you said how long the poor dog was in that car I about died 😭 here in Australia especially where I live dogs die within hours due to heat. I'm so happy Maisy made it.
The thing that makes me think the picture means something is the way that Maddison’s thumbs are digging into the flesh of her crossed arms
I have a feeling this rabbit hole goes a lot deeper concerning Bobby's father, and his connections with possible Mexican cartel. The fact that Bobby's mom separated from her husband and while living with Bobby was concerned enough to get home surveillance tells a lot. A LOT.
Now if Bobby's father was laundering money for the cartel ,which is ridiculously common by the way, a trial would cause some digging in financial documents and ledgers etc and would uncover corruption and scandal.
The families “they definitely weren’t doing meth”
Them ** acting like CLASSIC meth heads **
They definitely were on something. This case is so bizzare. I've watched it several times with different narrators and it's still one of those cases I feel so curious about.
Right? And, white supremacist groups are running the meth trade & manage to make it into the story? Coincidence?
Thought the same! Drugs and mental illness.
Yes definitely not doing meth. Also…” father I’m seeing a dead family of spirits I’m living with”..
My thoughts exactly
Just a thought: what if Maddison is upset/crying in the photo because she was forced to leave her dog behind? Yes, you can teach a dog to hunt for you and yes the dog could potentially keep them safe by notifying them of a person coming their wway but the dog could also give them away. Let me be clear that I do not agree with the dog being left behind...I'm just saying with all of these theories I feel like this thought could fit with many of them.
But why put her up there and take the photo? She would have been distressed from the roadside.
@@liamfullarton-ward2260 maybe she kept crying and they were trying to comfort her. Or distract her by taking pictures.
@@b.1004 Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Lots of people use the 'come on look at the camera and let *insert family member* take your picture!' as a distraction technique.
i loved the camera as a kid but there’s also a bunch of pictures of me crying because i got 5 fries instead of my usual 6
I've bred and trained hunting dogs most of my life and sounds like your doing some very good thinking...I think that could be why she's upset..also leaving a dog behind like that makes me think there was a plan to return to the dog and vehicle that the 6 year olds pure unconvoulted instincts told her that might not be happening..she was likely the only person involved here that wasnt diluted
Thank you for letting us know Mazey was okay. Poor little pup.
Poor little Madelyn
“LET ME CHECK THE OLD TESTAMENT” 💀💀💀😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 I literally screamed OUT LOUD 🤭🤭😆😆😆

Man whatever happened leading up to these people's deaths, I feel so bad for their daughter. If that priest had told someone, maybe that little girl would still be alive. There was a legitimate reason they lost custody of the boy. So sad.
Oklahoma usually does not change full custody once its established. Now that being said in oklahoma the age of maturity is 13. Also, if drug use were proved (via urine drug screen or blood screen) the mother would have lost custody of the daughter as well.
That's what makes me believe he was part of some sort of religious Christian indoctrination. He was perhaps preaching about spirits or devils or bad humours or something else a bit medieval which stuck in the minds of isolated, mentally ill, susceptible people and they ended up going mad from it. However I don't think that was the result of their deaths.
I have a sister-in-law that was acting crazy like that, saying she was a witch, all kind of stuff like that and she even talked to me about her ex son-in-law and she was going to take care of him by a spell. She was driving down the road and kept calling police non-stop saying he was following her, he wasn't. My in-laws took her to the hospital and she was admitted. As they were doing test they found a small tumor on a certain part of her brain; it was removed and she was back to her amazing herself.
A few years back I had a psychotic episode and one of my delusions was that one of my dogs was an alien sent to spy on me. So if this was a case of shared delusion, they may have left the dog behind because the dog itself became part of the delusions/paranoia, or if the dog was microchipped they might have wrongly thought the dogs location could have been tracked though it.
I personally lean more towards foul play than the delusional hypothesis, but thought I’d mention my experience as it could potentially explain why poor pup was left in car.
I agree. I think the mental health/delusions/confusion/drugs/religious brainwashing or whatever was causing this unusual behaviour is an unfortunate side issue. They had been together as a family for a long time, they continued to get on with their lives and were not reported by anyone as being troublesome or out of control. They don't really sound, in terms of daily life, to be damaging to one another. They did remove their daughter from school to protect her.
But even then, why leave 32k in the car?
They were probably saving it for wherever they were going to live. I don't think they planned to never return again to their car.
I’m late but what I’m wondering is why/how they would’ve been willing to kill a young child but not a dog?? Why even leave it alive in the first place? I don’t disagree that it was foul play, just seems odd to me
My thoughts exactly on the microchip
I definitely agree that Madison looks scared and distressed, as well. If it was a Breaking Bad situation, you would think they'd search the truck for more money or whatever, so it's strange.
Unless it was more of a hit than a robbery? Maybe they were rushed and paranoid users as well. The whole situation is odd. It's also possible the parents had money or drugs on their person and those were taken, but the money wasn't found. Seems like a dumb error a cloudy minded drug user might make. To steal a wallet, cash, small amounts of drugs, jewelry, etc but not think to check under the seats for any valuables in a frenzied rush?
Just so weird.
I agree that's a scared child
No, she's clearly about to pose. She looks like they caught her while she was trying to strike a pose for the camera. Why would a killer take a picture of his victim if he planned to kill her and didn't even keep the photo. What would be the point?
Thank you for telling us the dog was ok. That is important! 🥺
Stephanie, I just gotta say thank you for doing your ads at the beginning. It really interrupts the flow when a CZcamsr is talking about a sad case and stops to talk about square space🤣
Hahaha yes! "the dad massacred the entire family..."
Pause...
"As a busy mom to a family of five,
Hellofresh helps me keep food on the table!"
There's no way this is an accident or they got lost. As a mother, there's no way I'm laying down beside my daughter if she's dead/dying. She'd be in my arms.
Excellent point!
Absolutely! I believe they were murdered 😢
💯
How wld they all end up in a row face down? Who ever was the last one alive wouldn’t assume that position…
Really good point! I def think foul play was involved. Too many weird factors.
Anyone else now want Stephanie to do a detailed video about the Tromp family? Because I do 😂😍
when you showed that picture of madison, i instantly got chills. to me, she looks terrified
Totally agree, also it seems like she doesn’t have pants or any bottoms on if you look close at the bottom part of the photo you can see her upper thigh
@@jamiewitko4240 thats her belly, when you look at the full photo you can see the hemline of her jeans
@@InvaderGIR98 ok I went back and it does look like her shirt is short on her
Creepy for sure
She doesn't though....she's squinting...literally
i really don’t think they’d leave the dog in the truck. even if they were having a paranoid delusion. they didn’t leave her at home.. 🤔i suspect foul play. very sad
Well, people high on meth usually have absolutely no sense of time. I’m sure they didn’t expect to not come back when they left the dog there. After being awake for days/weeks, a person’s brain is about fried! It would explain why they were walking back and forth packing the truck looking completely aimless and staring off into space- they were walking outside and probably completely forgetting what they came out there for. Trust me- I speak from personal experience and when I saw the video, that’s EXACTLY what it looked like to me.
@@christinafidance340 But if they were truly on meth, I don’t see how they were responsible for their own death, as their death would have required methodical planning and awareness, given the manner in which their bodies were found and the fact that no weapon was found nearby. For all three of them to be face down laying side to side, without any weapons or murder objects (for example a rope for strangulation) anywhere around, nearly seven miles walking distance from their truck with the dog left inside, there is just no scenario in which them being responsible for their own death makes any sense, especially if they were on drugs (which I don’t doubt they could have been).
I thought the same thing when the dog was found in the car? Why would they leave the dog in The car, in the country setting just doesn't fit right!? The last picture felt off putting, all together.
@@christinafidance340 the little girl wasn't on drugs and would have likely brought the dog out of the car
Ok but there is literally absolutely no way Bobby WASN'T selling meth.
I agree, especially with the connections his dad had. And if you're selling meth, youre more likely than not using it as well.
I believe that if they were using meth, hallucinations could explain why they believed their house was haunted.
The only issue is there is no trace of meth in the house or the car. Handling that would likely leave a trace unless this was an extremely recent thing. There's also a possibility that it was another drug, substance or type of goods that they were selling.
Facts
Oh it's a fact?
I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy & it’s been so hard to get through this time. I’ve been in the hospital twice for severe vomiting & dehydration. I found your channel a few weeks ago & I’m just so grateful to have a companion here with me to educate me on something other than what I couldn’t keep down for breakfast.
Thank you!

Hope today you're doing well💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Hope you are feeling better. You will get through it. Hang in there.
Hang in there mama. It's going to get better soon
I live almost directly west of Eufala and four years ago we bought a vintage Mercedes in the mountain area south of Eufala. We met a young man at a gas station in one of the small southeastern Oklahoma towns and followed him up winding gravel and dirt roads up into what my husband called the Oklahoma mountains. My husband had grown up in Oklahoma but, had been gone from the area for years. I’m a small town Iowa farm girl and I was enjoying the beautiful scenery as we continued to follow higher and higher. As we went deep into the timber I began to feel uncomfortable and was somewhat relieved when we finally came to a clearing with a brand new mobile home and several very old homes and buildings were scattered. The older buildings brought to mind Deliverance, Wrong Turn, House of 1000 Corpses and of course, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I was expecting Leatherface or Rob Zombie to come jumping out at any moment. We purchased the car and made arrangements to come back in a few weeks with a trailer as it needed work. As we headed back down, we made one stop so I could take a picture of a gate leading into a large pasture. Hanging on the gate were a completely skinned skull and the hide of a coyote. I later learned that this was done as a deterrent to keep the coyotes away from the livestock.
At the time, I was working for the Oklahoma Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association and when I got to work on Monday I had to share my adventure with the guys. These were seasoned law enforcement officers that were retired but, continued to work with many agencies and associations in the state. They laughed at me as I told my tale, then quickly let me know that following someone up into those mountains was not a wise idea. They warned me, that when we returned to get the car, under no circumstances tell anyone where I worked. Law enforcement was not received well because of the meth labs and other drugs. I then listened to stories of the Dixie Mafia and others that had chosen that part of the state to hide in. I was even warned to watch out for Sasquatch. Apparently, there have been enough sightings to warrant a festive in his honor every fall.
One other thing that drew my attention was a very small, rundown but, obviously active, Pentecostal Church.
So, having heard the stories and warnings, my first guess would be drugs.
My second guess, knowing that they were experiencing spirits, witches and demons, if they wanted to be rid of them, they could have possibly been seeking a church or pastor to perform some type of deliverance or exorcism and something went terribly wrong.
Obviously, with both dealing with health issues that add to mental health issues and medications to treat the symptoms, there’s always the chance that someone just can’t take the pain any longer and feel they have no choice to end that pain.
Those are my thoughts. It’s a tragic end to three lives and grief beyond measure for the family left behind.
Seeing “spirits” telling others your house is “haunted” and researching burial grounds, suggests they absolutely believed it! Strange thing is, a girl friend said she also saw “something “ (grey mist floating down the stairs). Can everyone be delusional? High? Maybe. Also this explains why they want to move out of the house. Why they would choose to go to the mountains might be getting a cheaper place and having more property without neighbors close by? Maybe they did research and there are not burial grounds in the mountains? I definitely think they saw something they shouldn’t have or the sale of the property they were looking at was bogus and someone stole from them and killed them. How they got that far away? 🤷🏻♀️ sad for the whole family, and especially the son! Geeze. If he hadn’t gotten out he’d likely be dead. Bet he thinks of that too.
This all seems like the result of meth to me... I grew up around that BS and unfortunately this is all familiar. The paranoia, the weird things they'd say/ask for, the uncomfortable photo of Madison... all of it is so triggering for me.
Stephanieeeeee. Dude I swear you’re one of the only creators that interacts with their followers. We love it! Also, it’s so cool to see how big you’ve gotten over the years. I remember the good ole phone store days waiting for new videos. Now we are just spoiled. Happy Harloween! 🎃❤️❤️
🤣🤣🤣 thanks, love
@@StephanieHarloweas someone who has experience with drug selling/buying... I have another theory. The brown suitcase was to put drugs in. One thing every person knows when buying is, you see the stuff and make sure it's good before handing over cash. The probably got out with the suitcase first, then the guy didn't have the drugs. He then took the family and killed them. He/they thought the money was in the suitcase, when the money was still in the car. They probably didn't even realize it until they were somewhere they thought was safe to open it. By then, they couldn't risk going back up to look in the vehicle, or they thought they had no money to begin with. But that suitcase I believe was for the drugs. I also believe the land had nothing to do with it. I would go back to the man who brought them there... hebis hiding something, maybe covering for his kid or himself. But the fact he was there, means he is involved on this
Between the creepy threat of "being together forever" and the sunglasses eyebrow raise, I am living for Steph's silly energy in this video.
LOVE YOU!
It made me giggle too☺️
Definitely creepy 😂😂 but I would pick Stephanie as one of 5 ppl to live on a dessert island!
This story leaves so many questions unanswered. But my biggest question is, why were their shoes taken off?
Animals…
The CSI Miami reference was everything! Lol … this story is wild 🤦🏽♀️
when i tell you that i cried laughing at the part when she said “let me just check the old testament” in regards to the bullets that kill spirits😂😂😭😭😭😭
😂
😀 I just kept thinking about how in Supernatural they shoot spirits with rock salt shot gun shells
I love how we all needed to know if the dog was okay AND that she knew we’d want to know 😂👍🏼
Mate, whenever I pack I often wonder around with a blank look on my face. The amount of times I've walked to a van with fuck all in my hands and thought,shit what am I actually doing
Being from southeastern Oklahoma (technically on the western edge) it’s called Little Dixie and is a huge drug area. You should cover the Stephan Adams case in Cherokee County, Tahlequah. It’s a wild case as well. I have info and help I can give you. I lived there when he went missing.
I hope this isn't insensitive, but hell-oooo, Sheriff.
Hahaha I wanted to see more pics of him throughout
Yes, he's fine!
Where? Haha timestamp a ho, i missed it and cant find it 😅
12:10?? Damn, yall got me excited thinking he was actually attractive 🤣definitely not my taste
I agree he’s perfection!
The picture of Madison broke my heart. She looked just like my second born, who is 6. I could not help but cry, seeing how distress she looked. How could someone hurt an innocent child?
I’m actually from this area and meth is a HUGE epidemic around here. Their behavior is definitely believed (around here at least) that this was drug related. Also the last name actually is pronounced Bee-chum at least around here that’s how most of the family tells it to be🤣 people go missing around here all the time and it’s not surprising that we still don’t really know what happened and probably won’t
As a young child I remember an elderly relative eating ice cream next to me at a family reunion. The bee activity was really high that day as a result of the sweet buffet available to them. I tried to warn her about the bee on her ice cream but she didn't hear me..... She lived but it was a terrible sight. I can't imagine the sting of that.
I am a beekeeper now. 🤣🐝❤️
Stephanie, my partner has taken on a second job and is working every day from 7am-7pm. I am a stay at home mom with a 2 year old and a 4 year old and at nap time, I look forward to your Halloween videos. Just wanted to say thank you for easing some of my stress, your hard work is so appreciated!
Dwight, I feel ya. The hope of nap time is sometimes what gets me through.
Seriously though, hope you’re okay ❤️
Having two little ones is sooo hard.
☮️💜I remember, and mine are 35 and 38 now!
Creepy story. And that picture of Madison on the day before they disappeared. She was obviously terrified. And the dog. So glad the dog is okay. ❤🥺 I don’t think this family would’ve left their beloved puppy in the vehicle. So sad. Amazing story telling, Stephanie!
I bet they would not have even taken the dog with them but Madison probably wanted to bring him for comfort😞🥺
“Apparently this part of Oklahoma is pretty wild” 😂😂 it’s the whole state girl. Born and raised in NE Oklahoma.. it’s the whole ass state that’s wild.
Florida here. I feel your pain. ***Hunger Games fingers***
Same!! Lived in Tahlequah for a long time and dang I thought my hometown on Lake Texoma was bad lol
Hello fellow Harloween family. Sending well wishes for a blessed and positive day and week. A special shout out to Stephanie for making my Monday a little more bearable. Thank you for all you providing us with excellent content and your extremely detailed research ❤❤
Have a L🌞VELY week!
@@renee1961 You too 😊
You as well!❤️
Likewise!
Can I just say I love your Outlook on familial situations?! If anything ever happens to me, I implore you to cover my story before anyone else gets ahold of it and tells some BS story .. cause you see through it all 👏💞
The picture disturbs me very much. Poor, sweet girl. This is so incredibly sad.
I’m a little surprised that you didn’t question how these people who were struggling to get by, had multiple timeshares in different locations, & were known to travel. How could they afford that? Makes me wonder if he’s been “working” for his father for a long time, taking care of “business” in these locations. I wonder if anyone has investigated what they did when visiting.
Also, you quoted someone as saying that he helped people all the time. What was he doing for people that he couldn’t have been doing with a job? Is it known if he was on pain pills?
Thank you for letting us know the pup was okay. Hopefully, she ‘s living her best life.
I've heard this story told by others on CZcams but yours was by far the most informative and well presented. Your research and dedication to uncover all of the facts are greatly appreciated! Thank you and keep up the amazing work 🙌
Agree
This case is so bizarre :(
IMO an execution is the only thing that makes sense considering how they were found.
Great video as always.
I think the same. Just awful.
How did you see this 2 days ago?? Are you a patron or something??
I’m in
@@capric0rpse I
As someone who has a severely injured back from a car accident, I can attest that walking that type of terrain for that long is not something I could/would do either… I don’t think this was something they willing walked out to…
That picture of Madison wasn’t taken by her parents, she was looking over at her parents not at the camera
I agree. She almost looks like she's witnessing her parents demise. Poor thing
I hope your back heals soon 🙏 and mostly back to normal (I say mostly because apparently things don’t ever go back to exactly the same)
Exactly…when kids cry they look towards their parents for comfort…esp since she was home schooled and her parents were the only two people in her life.
I'm so glad you did this case. I've heard it by multiple other creators but no one got as detailed as this and I've been wanting to hear more
The fact that the car was locked up with all of their belongings and the dog in it, to me seems like they planned to be right back.
I must say I really appreciate how you really don't cover active investigations, as public opinion can really screw up a a perp's chance at a fair trial, sometimes resulting in their convictions being overturned.
These are the true crime stories I looooove listening to. It’s weird because I’m super respectful of the victims but I enjoy listening and thinking about different story lines
"I have read it cover to cover, you know, I always get stuck...somewhere in the middle..."
stephanie you crack me up every time
I’ve been fascinated with this case.
I’ve watched many episodes from various presenters about this tragedy.
If I’ve seen repeated offerings of the same story, I usually skip it.
But not with Stephanie Harlowe.
She always has fresh takes, new info, and delivers in an interesting, absorbing manner.
She really does her research. I notice and appreciate her hard work ! 💯👊🏽
Great job, Stephanie!
So refreshing to see a whole CZcamsr not caught up in all the drama thank you Stephanie H
Okay but if the theory of them believing they were being chased and in danger, leaving their truck in the middle of the dirt road and the dog...wouldn't Bobbies back pain still keep him from actually protecting his family if he can barely walk around his home? I feel like he would think (if he really believed they were in mortal danger) that him going up with them would slow them down since he was in so much pain.
Babe I'm from a small area in the blue ridge mountains and drugs especially meth and heroin have taken over here. But my uncle God bless his soul was an old mountain rough man and he literally used a walker to get from the recliner to the bathroom but if he was rolling his bowl he would be outside with a headlamp on looking for arrowheads ☠️ i
Any thoughts on them just getting lost. It does happen.
Heather, I am certain I've met your uncle (or a few just like him) in Oconee County SC.
@@heatherpuckett1135 I too live near the blue ridge mountains, in Virginia. Heroin and meth, mostly heroin have ravaged this area. Everyone is hooked on it, it sure seems that way anyways. Awful shit. 🤢
@@r.shanethompson7933 Pickens County here 😬
This case is so sad, especially for poor Madison and Colton left without a family 💔
Your appearance as Horacio definitely was the best part of my day so far 🧡 x
Omg can you imagine Stephanie in her own CSI show! Wow she’d nail it big time. We need to make this a thing, like seriously! She’s a legend and a all round badass!
I am honestly so happy that Maisy was found and was saved
Too bad the people weren't found safe and alive as well.
Bro read the fckin room, a little girl lost her life
The dog? Yikes 😬
Damn people can't be happy that at least the dog was saved?
See, the thing with the photo, is that we are all judging the photo after the fact. After we know that the family is missing and something tragic happened to them & they were missing, due to the fact that the car had been found with the dog almost dead inside, etc….& then found their remains. so it’s hard to judge a photo when you know the outcome….
Had we seen the photo before we knew any of this, then I feel like the photo wouldn’t look so ominous.
but the outcome of what happened should rightfully change our opinion as to what happened
@@TheeEnglishLesbian i’m not speaking on what happened, I Only referring to the photograph and how the little girl looks in the photograph and how judging the photograph after knowing what happened could definitely make a person biased….. that’s all.
Yeah, that makes sense if you’re trying to get objective assessments of the photo but the thing is.
That photo WAS taken. The family DID die in the immediate area and that was the LAST photo ever taken of an indisputably distressed child during the last days of her and her two parents lives.
If you want an independent assessment of the photo, then yeah. Don’t mention those details.. but that’s not what people want. They want to know what the hell happened.
Edit: didn’t see your second reply until now.
Yes, it depends what outcome you want.
I tend to agree. I’m not sure why a perpetrator would even take that photo in the first place and then return to cell phone with the picture on it to the truck. That is what doesn’t make sense to me. In the picture she looks like how my kids look when they are grumpy and I’m like stand over here so I can take your picture and they don’t want to do it. But the family does say that it isn’t typical for Madison to behave that way for photos so I don’t know what to think.
I agree. And just because the family never seen pictures of Madison looking grumpy doesn’t mean there never were any. The mother may have deleted any pictures of Madison looking anything but happy and not shared them with family.
Pastor Brandon is living in an episode if supernatural! SOMEONE CALL SAM AND DEAN!!!!
Exactly what I was thinking lol
I didn’t think I could love you more and then you did the Horatio Cane CSI intro! 😂🤟🏼
GIRL Your sarcasm kills me. You’re so deadpan I just love you. I’m so grateful for all you do and I know I’m not the only one. I seriously look forward to this all year and you give me the same feeling as snuggling up in front of a fire with a cup of coffee and a good book- it’s hard to put that feeling into words but your energy is just pure hygge. You’re one of a kind! 🍁♥️
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️
Stephanie Harlowe is literally one of the most adorable human beings I swear! I'm weak rn 😆
If that picture was taken by the family I feel as though they had told her some secret plan to achieve a higher self and that the dog couldn't come. Since it was her best friend it would be upsetting to leave it behind
But personally I feel as though she was watching someone else with her parents. The picture could have been for confirmation of the child being un harmed. Or even a sort of trafficking picture.
But I feel like there was a very bad situation taking place while this picture was taken.
I LOVED your Horatio impression, I was OBSESSED, I mean really in love with that man as a child, not even caring that he was 45 years older than me😂😂
That CSI: Miami moment was just *chefs kiss* 😂
Hi Stephanie, I’ve been a huge fan of your content for a while and I just wanted to ask if you’d ever be willing to cover any of the mysterious deaths from the troubled teen industry
What about the guy they came to meet about the land, Was he cleared? I mean you'd think he was top suspect but idk I don't feel right about that. Not satisfied with that part🙁
🤣🤣🤣
That CSI intro startled the hell outta me
I screamed and basically launched my phone into orbit.
Thank you Stephanie 😆💕
Us Harlowquins are over here doing spooky season right 👻💖
❤️😊❤️
Same lol!
I really enjoy your videos- they’re well researched and well presented. You really have a gift for engaging storytelling, and pulling emotions from your audience. You rarely make me laugh, since you deal with such serious topics, but that CSI:Miami reference really cracked me up.
Thanks for the laugh, and for the incredible amount of effort and care you put into your work!
I just dropped my kids off this morning at daycare/pre-K for the first time and I’ve been emotional about it. This upload came at the perfect time. There’s absolutely no poor mood a Stephanie Harlowe video can’t lift.
