It's disgusting how he blamed his dead brother for his own guilt. he is cold-blooded. So sorry for the families. RIP Kara and JEssica.

45 years is an offensively short sentence. For killing two women?? Smh.

The cops should be charged for assisting an offender due to their incompetence.

So many of these cases have the most unreliable police departments. JUST plain ol lazy.

The second girl died because the flat-footed lethargic police didn’t do it’s job. Why shouldn’t a police officer also go to jail??????????????????????????????????

I grew up with this case. Everyone always knew Kylr did it and we were all enraged when Jessica went missing, too. I've had friends who went to high school with them say that Kylr would randomly show up to parties and start drunk-bragging about getting away with murder. We HATE him.

Damn right the murder of Jeessica could have been avoided. If cops would have investigated on Yusts alibi as they should have. Yust is an extremly dangerous person and to me a psycho that can never be released. May the 2 victims RIP and may their poor families find the strength and will power to carry on in their lives.

Now this is how an excellent documentary is made ! Well done ! Long time since I’ve seen a well made documentary,without someone sitting in the front of the screen putting on make up , or talking to people on their chat , with just a lot of nonsense going on , very well done !👍👍❤️👏🇨🇦🙏

If a person comes into a police dept with enough concern to want to report a loved one missing, what gives law enforcement the right to determine that its probably a runaway & not any real priority?? The person reporting them missing obviously knows them well enough to know something is wrong yet so many times law enforcement (from various depts across the country & every state) have reacted in this manner ocer & over. Are they ever held accountable for their actions or is it a "do as I say, not as I do" type thing,? Most times the missing person is unfamilar to law enforcement. So who would know more about what behavior is normal & what is not concerning them, a total stranger or a loved one?? While I know there are many in law enforcement that go far & above in their jobs to keep us safe, laws upheld & ensure justice is served & its awful that all too often they are judged unfairly by those that shouldnt ever be in a position of authority & higher responsibility. My comment is not intended for these stellar men & women who risk their lives daily for us. For them, I have nothing but acknowledgement, appreciation & the upmost respect. My comment is directed at anyone in law enforcement who has reacted to a person filing a missing person report in a manner that it was'nt of the highest priority. Its for those who will always support the theory of a crime that is the one that creates the least amount of effort & input on their part. I cant be the only one who wonders why things like this are "allowed" to continually go on with the very people we automatically trust, respect & obey can I?? One time is one time too many, but routinely is totally unacceptable.

I was about 7 when Kara went missing. One house on our drive to the store had a HUGE banner up in their yard for at least 5 years (which is when we changed out route). My mom watched a lot of crime shows around me so I was always super aware of it. As soon as I found out she had a boyfriend I suspected, and then my brother told me some of his friends knew Kylr and he told me rumors. And then when Jessica disappeared, I was about 15. A bunch of my friends knew her, my brother went to school with her, everybody was very angry for a full month, they held fundraisers and campaigns in the cafeteria. The energy the day they found the bones felt freaking amazing. I just think it's telling that elementary school children, stoners, anime nerds, people who'd only lived in town for about a year, all figured it out pretty much as soon as they heard about Kylr's existence. Literally as soon as we heard he was the last person seen with Jessica it was over for him. We just needed a mushroom hunter to get a little curious.

The 2nd girl could of been saved, horrible narrsacist monster..blaming his dead brother, the shame..HELLO HELL!!

These videos are so well done, and very respectful to the families. Thank you for telling their stories

It is just heartbreaking how many parents have been robbed of seeing their children grow up. So many young people being robbed of a future. How many future doctors, lawyers, teachers have been taken from us all? It's just so sad.

It makes me so mad that Jessica’s death could have been prevented the police officers should be ashamed of themselves. Much love to Karas and Jessica’s families ❤️❤️❤️

The lazy, incompetent, disgraceful cops, never bothered to check his alibi?? Does he look like the kind of guy who would visit his great aunt at a nursing home? Cops could have saved Jessica. Kara's mom should sue them.

Amazing editing, very well told and reported

I’ve whatched crime stories for years , since the old days of unsolved Mysteries , and I got to tell you , your work in making your videos is the BEST IVE EVERY SEEN ,, I just found your channel and very happy I did !

Shocking neglect byPolice to follow up clues…WHY?

This is the best documentary of this case I’ve seen. Very thorough and informative. Prayers for these families.

I live in Kansas City Missouri. Not far from Belton Missouri. In fact my son lives in Belton. This story hit hard with the area. It was sad to know that both girls died and that evil monster killed them both. The only thing good I can say about this case is that atleast now the parents and family now what happened to them and who killed their daughters. And that so called justice was served. However...as a parent, I don't think justice would ever be served no matter the sentence of years or of death. Because it would never bring my daughter back. My heart goes out to all the families. All 3 families. They ALL lost a loved one.

Sloppy inefficient police work! How did the murderer get top notch attorneys I wonder.

What an absolute tragedy.. two families ripped apart by the actions of a psychopath. My heart goes out to the families... RIP Kara & Jessica

This was so sad their poor mothers. You can really see the pain in Kara mom 😢😢

My heart goes out to the families of both of these beautiful young ladies. Such a sad story. 🙏❤️

Another great “hometown tragedy” episode. So impressed by these. Thank you ♥️♥️

It's so sad that 2 young lives were lost because of a cowardly psychopath and incompetent/lazy police. I really hope that Police Department was completely re-staffed.

It always sickens me when the monster who is on trial seem to have more rights than the victims and their families..It happens all the time...I cannot understand the law at all sometimes

What a lousy police department. I really do support our police but, they let this young girl down. Prayers for her family.

Why wouldn't police follow up with the nursing home?

💔UNBELIEVABLE!! The police really dropped the ball on Kara’s case!😡 I feel that the family should sue the police department for mishandling the case and possibly being responsible for her not being found.

It's clear what happened to her...The police just didn't want to do the paper work...or any work!

I was 16 when Kara went missing. I still remember the breaking news about her disappearance and her loved ones pleading for information. Every year on May 4th the news would do a piece on Kara's disappearance. They never let her case go cold or unknown. I always got a bad feeling about Kylr. Kara good missing days after she filed a restraining order against him. Then fast forward to 2016 and Jessica goes missing yet again after being with Kylr. It's sad that it took another murder (7 years later) to solve Kara's disappearance. RIP Kara & Jessica. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️.

This is one the best videos I’ve seen on this case. I learned new interesting details and you put in great key moments of trial.

I was 17 in Missouri when Kara went missing. It was all over the news. I remember parents being freaked out because she was last seen leaving out of her high school never to be seen again. I had no idea this case had been solved. Thank God it has been.

Thank you this is an excellent documentary.

If that town hadn’t had such a useless, incompetent, indifferent and lazy police force Jessica wouldn’t have been murdered as well.

You know, if I were a public defender, I could not live with myself if I defended something like this. I'm just saying. Rest in peace girls. You did not deserve this.

Sad that they say belton is a tight community..maybe back then but isn't now. It's a different town and the ppl aren't the same. I knew Kara...and she was so sweet and nice to me. It breaks my heart that she died without having a chance to live.

These cops who instantly say PROBABLY ran away need to get a different job .. unless there's signs pointing to that then let's not do that please. They sound as awful as ones who say ohh u can't file a missing persons report until 48 hrs has passed. U might as well be on the killers side at that point.

I signed in everyday at moms nursing home,needs to be done everywhere.

I remember this story from years ago, but I didn’t know their remains were found. I’m glad the girls family were able to bring them home for a final burial. Now they can have closure. I don’t think anyone can heal from such a tragedy.💔💔💔

I'm sorry to all the parents out there that lost their baby..nobody should half to grow old without their babies 😔😔😔 nobody...God bless you all

Well done on your production!

The trouble I have , is the lack of urgency to find children who were suspected of running away to begin with. Even if police have every reason to believe that child left on their own accord , finding that child safe , and re-uniting them with their family should have the same priority as any other missing child's case does. Runaways are endangered children. It's a fecking blessing when that child is found just hiding out at freinds house safe and unharmed. Who gives a flick if 7 out of 10 come home two days later and it's discovered they were just upset because they got grounded for a weekend. Whatever resources used to find these children aren't being wasted. Im sure there are people who would argue the point otherwise, but by all means before you do , go to the national website of missing and exploited children... look at all those faces looking back at you, page after page after page ... of children that have never been found , and their families will probably never see again. IF police treating every report of a missing child the same way , could have prevented one or two of those families the anguish of spending years /lifetimes not knowing what happened to their child, I would say that was resources very well spent.

Another great video! Please keep them coming. These are tragic, but great to watch. And maybe, someone watching can help somehow.

Those police have completely failed those girls.

I wonder how many young women have died because police declared they were "runaways"?

How the hell did the cops mess up that bad they don’t verify the alibi of the guy and then they don’t get their surveillance is this a joke

Kara was such a sweet and beautiful young girl. It’s a tragedy what that man did to her and Jessica and their families.

It's obvious he did these things, killing these woman. The authorities didn't do a very good job to start. How can anyone do these things to innocent people. 😔 very sad.

I think it’s past time to change or stop “the runaway stories of young teenagers”,..as in this case!!!! So sorry for the parents and family.🙏

😔😔😔poor girls...poor parents...😔😔😔🥺🥺🥺

I had a 12 and 11 year old when Kara went Missing. Missouri was scared for our kids around then. RIP Kara and Jessica 😢😢😢.

How are the police in this town even able to keep a badge on their bodies?

Its amazing how incompetent the detectives in this case were

It was a heartbreaking time. I remember watching it unfold over the years on local news. 💔

NO WAY was this kid at a nursing home with his great aunt!

i still don't understand why top lawers will.go on to defend monsters like this and they can't do it for those wrongly accused. where are these top nudge attorneys when innocent people are sent to jail. ?????

The bare minimum I’ve always seen police do on these shows is verify a person’s alibi. I thought that was standard procedure. Poor Jessica’s murder could have been prevented.

Such a heart wrenching story

It always annoys me when people try to report a missing teenager and the police go “they are a runaway, they’ll be back”. Regardless if they are a runaway or not, it’s someone below the age of 18, so surely the police must be concerned about their welfare.

Maximum incompetency from the police and sheriff's department.

My children Holly and Brandon went to Belton High School with Kara. We knew Kylr did something to her. No one had an issue with her except her ex boyfriend Kylr Yurst. He already tried to kill her once before by choking her and threatening he was going to kill her. She was set to get a permanent restraining order against him in the Cass County court house but he killed Kara and dumped her body near Cleveland, Missouri where I have family out in the rural countryside. Fortunately, a mushroom hunter found Jessica Runions and a further search of the area Kara's remains were also discovered. Miracle's do happen. The investigation was not taken seriously and lead's that could have led to be solved or lead to Kylr's arrest preventing Jessica Runions homicide also committed by KY. Jessica lived in our new hometown of Raymore. Every year there was a walk through town remembering Kara and when she was found it was the biggest relief I've ever felt when the monster was found guilty and sentenced to 45 year's in state's prison. The jury was incredible with the trial and how they saw the truth.

Thanks ~

How is it possible that the abusive ex with a restraining order wasn’t investigated?? This isn’t real

Thanks amazing job 👍👌👍 GOD bless you all the best 👍👍👌❤️

New subscriber , nicely done 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Why didn’t they arrest the dude she had the restraining order against? 😡

Just found this channel. New material!

18:30 I don't know what such nice girls see in Bad Really Bad Boys like this "Serial killer", dating a guy that they know abuse drugs goes to jail from not so good family 🙄🤔 Recipe For Disaster!!! Don't trust men, do research, criminal records, ask people, tell your parents, don't give yourself so easily!!!

Prayers for both victims and their families

And what did Jessica see in that imp knowing he murdered Kara? 🙄

Such a tragedy that two beautiful angels taken so young. Very upsetting

I remember this case I was a Senior in high school and a month later chelsea from overland park target was kidnapped the day before my birthday I'm so glad they found those girls killer .

I wonder who his parents are. Sounds like someone has a big influence on that town.

Did he really commit suicide though

Unbelievable, if they don't want to be a police dept, shut down and let somebody else have jurisdiction that will do their job. They are as responsible for the second woman's murder as the killer.

How could someone as an attorney who has kids take a case to defend a person they know is guilty of murdering someone else's children and be able to sleep at night? It's despicable

as the mother of 2 girls one living in australia i hope you get things sorted thoughts are with you from linda in scotland x

As soon as I heard his half brother committed suicide, I knew he was going to blame him for it!!! Ain't nobody killed those girls but him and him alone!!!!

Rip !!! Two Both young ladies 💜💜

Such incompetence from that police department. Jessica would not have been murdered if he wasn't released from jail.

That whole runaway assumption needs to be done away with, if it hasn't been already. Every situation needs to be approached based on the evidence including the parents' assertions of character.

Love seeing and hearing about a case so close to home. #KansasViewer

i grew up in that town during all that its sad i send my condolences to the family on both sides but kylr you get what you weep dude is vile human being

OMG those poor families. The police don't verify TYLER'S alibi at the nursing home, they don't get the video tape, they don't do follow up interview with the clerk and then they lost track of him. What did they do? That other girl would be alive. Then the jury convicts him on involuntary even though he killed her the day after she files a restraining order. This was a good episode but it made me angry.

My question is: was there ever an investigation to determine if in fact other ex-girlfriends went missing?

Omg! Few seconds in. Her beautiful mama looks so so young herself!😭 I'm watching on mute and half distracted and missed the caption and assumed it was a classmate or young sibling. 😭😭😭

Never followed up on the alibi?!!! Unbelievable

Didn’t check the prime suspects alibi…….wtf

time has stood still in this city

Restraining order. Red flag! He should be suspect number one right off the bat!!!

That poor family and that town community are SO WONDERFUL! OMG!!!!

I live in a suburb of Kansas City too and at the time, I was raising my little girl. I held her a little tighter, was a little stricter because of this case. The second girl didnt have to die. If the police had checked out her ex boyfriend.

Justice is not what you can prove beyond reasonable doubt. That's is just lawyerspeak bs. Justice is a proportional punishment for heinous acts, emphasis on the proportional...

I never heard of a detective not finding a 7-11 employee before, this a first! 🤔

The law is so flawed!!! HE COMMITTED 1ST DEGREE MURDER TWICE!!!!! THAT WE KNOW OF!!! 👎

The second murder could of been easily avoided. What didn’t they ever interrogate Kyler the first time for hour’s until he confessed or got an attorney? It was so obvious who did it.

police didnt look into nurse home it was him cop didnt look
