You did a story on my sons Enrique Rios and his friend Elijah Moore. I appreciate you making this video but there has been updates. Can you please make an update video? We are still looking for their remains 😢😔 maybe having an updated video shared will get to the right person and they may finally want to come forward with where our sons were buried. We havent been able to lay them to rest. Having their murderers behind bars is a great feeling but not being able to lay our sons to rest makes that feeling downgraded to sadness. You have many views and people that share in wanting to find our sons remains. Please help us. Nobody has continued to cover their story 🙏 they need justice

I'm sorry but the "we were lost so we stayed with the 4 wheeler in the rain all night" just screams suspicious. I know quite a few outdoorsy, mud runnin', country girls and even they wouldn't stay in the rain all night without any semblance of gear. Sit in a tree stand for six hours in the rain? Sure bc they have jackets and stuff. Camp in the rain? Sure bc they have a tent. Sit on a 4 wheeler under a singular jacket in the rain? No. Not a chance.

I love that you don't discriminate against people who struggle with mental health issues and drug addiction. I come from a long line of addicts and my family is big in the Behavioral Health and Recovery Community in my County. My mom is a Behavioral Health Specialist who specializes is substance abuse disorders, and I work in the welfare department in our County. In my experience some of the people with the biggest hearts become addicts and hurt themselves rather than others (of course they can hurt others unintentionally in the midst of their addiction). A lot of them are empaths who have their own trauma that hasn't been dealt with properly. I love this about you and will forever support your channels for this reason. Thank you Danielle for always being so thorough, kind and caring with your content! Lots of love!

I remember those days. All of your money went for drugs, so you were always out of gas. I've been clean a long time now, but looking back, it was a miserable life. You just don't recognize that when you're in the middle of it. I'd almost be willing to bet my life he was never being followed, it sounds to me like classic meth paranoia, in which case I could definitely believe he pulled over and ran into the woods, as odd as that might sound to the average person.

I am in recovery going on 6 yrs now . being an addict u are totally in a different world u associate with so many bad people and looking back I put myself in bad situations I could have been kidnapped, raped , killed but in those times that does not cross ur mind . its so scary it really is a different life.

@xNeariax 2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking something similar. Let's not forget the whole family has a history of misbehaviour towards women, too. What if, say, the Dad came on to Sam while they were out four-wheeling / in the woods. If she denied him that could've easily gotten out of hand, especially if he was on drugs. Maybe he even asked the uncle to get rid of Wren so the uncle could come out and help him get rid of the body. After all he had two phones with him (and later burned them, though that could just be related to any other shady dealing and "while he was there anyway"). Pure speculation, obviously, but I'm just saying- Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened, unfortunately.

@Beastmode-zx9gm 2 жыл бұрын

I definitely think the dad and uncle planned it. I posted this before the bunkers. They definitely could've kept her in one. Maybe buried in one? But, I dont feel like (W)ren is involved but just my opinion. People be crazy. Hope they find her and her family/kids can get closure and justice.

@alainaevans9683 2 жыл бұрын

I watched it too and that's what I said he seemed genuine about it and throwing his dad out there cause he's hurt about what he may have done to her. But he did seem like he was struggling with drugs still on the interview you can tell he's a hurt man and he's hurting and trying to self medicate. And for how bad his family seems he didn't give a shit about throwing his dad out there even if it puts him in danger so that's why I think that part is genuine from Rhen.

I think his Dad found her enticing when his son dated her as teenager which turned to fixation when she reentered their lives. I think he or he and his other son messed with Rens mind that day to isolate her. Dusty got her on the quad with enticement of more drugs which they told Ren they didn't have. Ren gaslight and confused didn't trust himself or others. My question is whether or not they can determine blood spatter as cast off from violence vs IV use on the ceiling. Ren could have taken Thorazine a commonly and overprescribed tranquilizer given to people who have meth use in their medical history. It is an elephant gun used to kill mosquitos. A single pill can easily put a single person down for 4 days if the dosage was high enough. Accidently took one in highschool. 4 days, got up to pee once. It was like being stuck in sleepy molasses, couldn't move or stay awake no matter how hard I tried. Side note: It's the garbage they wanted to put Britney Spears on again and her refusal is what got her sent to the mental health facility under involuntary commitment a couple yrs ago now.

In my opinion, I could go with that story but I don't think the motive was to kill, instead sexually abuse and humiliate her for their pleasure, and that's why he burned his phones to hide photos, but when she died accidentally, from either abuse from them or an OD, they panicked,got rid of her and the phones with evidence. Or There had been photos on the phone to possibly sell Samantha SMH, but she had an overdose, so they left her in a bunker to die. Smh

I watched about half of the Rhen interview you linked - thank you for providing that. He came across as sincere, in pain and still in love with Samantha. He suspects his father of being involved (I tend to agree), and pointed out parts of Dusty’s story that made no sense or seemed impossible to him. He said his father no longer speaks to him or ir has looked him in the eyes since that day. I don’t think Rhen had a part in or knows anything about her disappearance. Just my 2 cents, for what it’s worth. Such a perplexing case. I hope they find Samantha and what happened to her soon, and my heart goes out to her family.

@kristixmichelle 2 жыл бұрын

As a recovering addict, I tend to believe Rhen after watching his interview. I believe he thought someone was for sure following him and when you are on meth, you can make yourself and others believe anything. I thought I was being chased by cops once...I wasn't. Dusty's story is kinda hard to believe considering the evidence. However, if he was also using meth, who knows what is true and what's not. They may not even know. I don't believe Samantha just walked off though and her family deserves answers.

Well 1st I wanna say I am a recovering addict.i live in the country where we ride 4 wheelers. I've been round some meth heads and cooks . Been up for days and just all kinds of shit. After hearing this case talked about as u have. Idk the bf story sounds believable to me. He prob wasn't being chased . And was just awake for so long and paranoid. Been there myself. And I've rode 4wheelere my whole life. Didn't no one lay under one with it running to stay warm. That's just complete bs. And ain't no one gonna just all of a sudden say your to high u need leave. Na didn't happen. That you g lady was prob raped and murdered that night. This is just horrible. I hope she gets justice one day. I truly feel for her family and especially children. That's just sad. Ren as well. Cause he prob feels guilty af . Smh just awful situation. I wish he hasn't ever left her at all. But being high and out there and ya know your family she's with he prob didn't expect anything to happen to her. Just all bad horrible situation and outcome. Hate the authorities didn't do their job and do more about all this. Just sad. Rip Samantha

It is pretty normal for people to kick each other out for being “too high”, especially on meth because it twists your perception. It’s really not an experience understood unless lived through.

True statement. Other than the blanketed statement "Don't do drugs. Don't do hard drugs" yadda yadda.. humans OFTEN forget all our brains are DIFFERENT. Some people can NOT smoke meth.. some people can NOT smoke weed. Etc etc etc. All I've learned.. seen.. bipolar + meth doesn't go well at all. Ever. 🤦🏻‍♂️ If you're gonna be curious.. if you're gonna try anything.. just take a moment to think about how you might react to it first. Maybe just a MOMENT?

⚠️⚠️Danelle⚠️⚠️ If that random guy who found the fourwheeler confirmed that it was out of gas, the keys were most likely left in the fourwheeler ignition or with the fourwheeler... otherwise it wouldn't turn over and show it wasn't starting.

also just wanted to mention about the blood on the ceiling- IV drug users can get blood everywhere. the car I had while my ex and I were using had blood splatter all over. if your needle clogs and you can't save the shot or if it coagulates in the chamber, sometimes you'll just spray it wherever you are bc you're pissed and sick and in a hurry. or rarely you hit a vein just the right way and blood literally spurts out and it can go straight up. we found blood spray on the wall in the sketchy ass hotels we stayed in numerous times and it was from the same thing. obviously the police would be able to tell whether this applies or not, if it's like huge amounts of blood then definitely not, but I don't think they've released how much they found to the public. my first thought when Danelle said they found blood in the house where three addicts were staying was that it might be from shooting their dope. it's not a mess free + sterile process like drawing blood at a medical facility!

As someone who's been around a lot of people who do drugs. I can definitely understand this. It's super stressful having someone jaw jack & twitch like a fish because they r too high. Also, could be a downer high where they r falling asleep in their soup & u can't let them go in the bathroom alone for fear they will pass out & never wake up. It sounds selfish to just kick them out in that state, but if it's a continuous thing it gets old. Yeah they also did drugs in that house, but some people can handle drugs better it seems.

I think Ren was in meth psychosis when he ran into the woods, thinking someone was following him. Normal meth paranoia. I do believe he was in the woods for 5 days. Once his tweak wore off, he would've crashed and slept for days, only waking up in a stupor occasionally to urinate but oblivious to anything. 10000% think the uncle and dad did something with/to her.
