the dad dying from a broken heart is so sad. 😢

Well done for covering this story and getting lots of signatures for the petition. It feels good we can actually help in some way

@@nicolastewart4419agreed.

😊

Signed the petition.

You are such a courageous woman for keeping on with your sister's fight for justice! And YOU are the reason that your sister and family got justice - noone else! Your sister would be so thankful and so proud.

huge love to you and your family from korea❤🙏

I hope that horrible beast stays locked up for the rest of his life. You're one hell of a lady & keep on fighting for your sister's Justice.

@@NOs-1991 unfortunately the longest he stay in prison is a total of 14 years which means in 2026 he will be released if he doesn't get paroled before then.

You are a brave and strong woman. Sherri would have been proud of you! 😢❤🙏🏼

useless they only help rapists and pedophiles

keep paying those taxes make sure you donate to your local police department also

Most cops too stupid

This is par for the course

When they said "There's a murderer hiding in plain sight" This is not even hiding

There's a reason why people call them pigs.

I haven't even finished the video yet but almost shit a brick when I heard "altoona" PA police are by far some of the most useless individuals I've ever dealt with. Friendly reminder that a state trooper was recently arrested for the false imprisonment and assault of a woman he was seeing on the side, all because she left him.

Probably involved with disposing of her body.

I am glad you can see through it too. That D.A is one corrupt individual. 5 day search gets pulled when they know there is a body on the land. That father has ties to the town and you can tell by all the red flags and leads from day one but it just gets dismissed into a cold case file for 14 years. The father punches an officer during questioning? That father no doubtfully has political ties.

Yes your correct a 100% those officials involved should be ashamed of themselves , the lot should have been sacked and I hope the animal that killed her never gets out

@@The_Colonizersno shit

It sucks, but it's normally done in cases where prosecutors worry they don't have enough evidence to convict a suspect. Rather than risk the perpetrator being found not guilty and being set free, they offer him a plea deal with a reduced sentence to prevent him from getting away altogether. You are right though, they should have at least notified the family. They were horrible from beginning to end.

@@SkyyPiano yeah but it should be a courtesy at least to go to the family and explain the reasons to them because alot of people don't really know about plea deals and they already messed up so much in this case its just another thing that adds to the whole lack of care that seemed to come from that specific da

​@@The_Colonizersanyone that hears this story should be mad. Are you not?

​@@The_Colonizers There's a time and place to laugh.. THIS isn't one of them.. 😮

I signed the petition and kicked in a donation. As soon as that monster is released, those useless cops had better be ready to arrest him for all the rapes he committed against little girls and women. I won't hold my breath, though.

I signed and shared Shelly’s petition to keep that scumbag Kenneth in prison. As a survivor and victim of abuse, the last thing I want to see is a womanizer and murderer set free at any time. I’ll sign, share every year that thing hopefully is rotting away in a cell with a roomie named Jean/ie!!

Your Mom is a hero. Respect to her and your family for mot giving up and bringing this man to justice despite the lack of help from law enfoncement (police and prosecutor).

Yeah sure

The lack of closure ought to be an extra criminal charge measured in days, weeks, months, years, and add serious length to a convicts sentence for the insult added to injury. I'm so glad your family kept fighting and basically solved this yourselves. That police department seriously seemed biased and out to impede your every effort at justice. Wishing you as much healing as possible in such a painful loss.

They're completely useless

All they had to was to ask Ryan´s...@@Angel-Pizzaeater

THIS ❗❗❗

13 actually 😵‍💫

Right. It took a 2 minute phone call that they were to busy for.

Dude..Ive been reading all your comments..thanx for sharing so much of yourself..I feel like "Im sorry" just doesnt cut it, on so many levels. I'll be headed to sign the petition. Im glad you know the truth, about EVERYONE in your family. I really like your hunting story, about where you'd sit💙 Seems like you were young & there may not be much good to find in all this, but yet you did. Im glad you have that. I have questions but I really dont want to pry into your personal life when there's no more mystery to be solved. So the only thing Im going to ask is...given the discrepancies you mentioned between what was portrayed and the reality of things, did they depict your dad's role accurately?

@Holy.HannaH First off, I just want to say thank you. Especially for signing the petition. There's still so many more unanswered questions that we won't ever really have the answers to.. but that's okay. We know the truth, and that's what's most important. Around that time in our lives, my dad was an over the road truck driver, so he was gone for weeks at a time. He'd come home, and my mom would be with different dudes. It happened a lot, I still have memories of it multiple times when I was little. So, for him to snap and beat people up when he found out about all the stuff, I completely understand. This whole thing has been very rough for him ever since she "left." He's been an alcoholic basically ever since. Me and him still have a very good relationship. And him "knowing" or being "a part" of it wasn't true. He did multiple polygraph tests to prove his innocence.

@@seldomseen_outdoors Im glad to hear the two of you still have a good relationship. It sure sounded like your dad was as blindsided by this as everyone else but I didnt want to make any assumptions. I'm not in a position to even begin to imagine the pain & grief this has brought upon your entire family and in so many layers, and I in no way intend to minimize any of it, but I certainly felt like in his position your dad probably carries the heaviest load at the end of every day. I definitely understand the emotional, psychological, & neurological state of your parents at that young age, & being an over the road truck driver magnifies that dramatically. (A family member actually did a lot of primary research and based their thesis on that exact notion.) To be honest, despite his chosen coping mechanisms, your dad sounds like a pretty darn good guy, with strong emotions and a heavy conscience. Im nearly 40 and despite being aware & a victim of my mother's abuse & lies and manipulation my entire life, my mind & heart still have a hard time grasping & processing any of it. Especially after losing my father and watching my family dwindle as I get older. It simply goes against nature & is a massive paradigm shift to not be able to trust the one that literally created you & gave you life. I dont know if your dad is aware of this video at all but if you happen to decide to share any of this with him please let him know that, from one human to another..well, just shake his hand or give each other a good hug for me. There are no words but for what little it's worth, if he ever decides to let it all out, scream & shout or curl up and cry etc then he has the encouragement & full support of this complete stranger on the internet. I'm glad you're doing well, I sincerely hope your siblings are too.

@seldomseen_outdoors I’m so very sorry for your loss. The injustice of this story must certainly make your heartache worse & for that pls accept my apology on behalf of a broken corrupt system who failed your family. I pray for peace for you all✝️☮️❤️🙏🏻

​@@seldomseen_outdoorswait, you are her kid?!

Yeah, what a bunch of small time buffoons.

Family

Right! I’m sorry but I would have called them out in this interview. I just can’t even believe this.

School "faild" you

@sarahgilbert8036 Nobody cares. Just get off the internet.

i know he is a real monster

He's Evil. He has to be for doing such a horrible thing

He probably got a kick out of it

He was almost gloating over her. Even his dim-witted son, supposedly had no idea of the truth.

Sherry’s

THIS! Literally my exact sentiments! I feel for the family! ❤

Unsurprising from a garbage dump like Altoona, though

For alll of them mfs

Dude I’m fuming. The law enforcement they brought on here have no shame. The guy calling her “lady” saying “we’re out looking for this missing lady” like so detached from humanity dude needs to go get reconnected.

He’s the viilain

Exacly! Bro

DUDE FRRRRR

May your nephew's hsoul rest in peace. I am very sorry for your loss. It is very sad to think about what he went through 😭 even tho I don't know him! I can't imagine thinking about his supposed to be "best friend" taking his life 😭 what an evil person this friend I hope he rot in jail and I hope prisoners abuse him and rape him everyday. May your nephew's soul rest in peace in heaven 🙏 I pray for your family 🙏

I pray for you and your family.

I'm sorry for you nephew and I feel bad for his family Godspeed

I'm so sorry. That's just horrible.

I'm so sorry

It's not incompetence. It's straight up corruption with the father and son having deep ties.

Do you think it was incompetence? It seems to me that they were blatantly covering for their buddy. Either way I'm totally with you. These losers need to go down.

Yeah after hearing all the details seems pretty obvious they were trying everything they could do to cover up for their friend. Just typical police though, covering up for their murderer friends.

@@turbotravis2323 if the local law enforcement could not handle this horrible situation why was the FBI not called to help this small town?

@@sandralerch5812 The local law enforcement was easily able to handle this situation. They deliberately chose not to do anything about it. Why?

With a fat pocketbook and the smell of money, that's how they sleep soundly.

They have no shame, they're police, it's impossible for a cop to feel shame or remorse, or any other human emotion.

@@TheChristianNomadit’s stories like these that prove ACAB more and more

Iowa???

@@lexx60 Pennsylvania

It’s the same in big cities.

Then maybe the problem is just the fucking police?

Corruption

Tell me about it 🙄

Because they’re already rotten and corrupt as hell, I guess!

Because unfortunately many women do walk away from their kids… it’s that bad out there today… their is corruption in the police department but police do see women just walk way from their families every day. World has gone to crap. Women do it every day all day long. Sad state of this country… I know many men who raise their kids alone because the women just walked walked away refusing to be mothers and just don’t care about their kids. Lots of selfish women out there who care only for themselves… for police it’s hard to tell the difference..: it is what it is… it’s a sad sad world these days.. 😢 it doesn’t matter her family was saying it’s out of character for her. Families can see their family member through rose colored glasses many times… we all will.. cops really can’t tell the difference… their is most certainly tons of corruption in the police department. To lazy to do their jobs and they really could care less about the citizens they swore to protect. So many just don’t care anymore. Because they see so many men and women act so badly and walk away from their families and endanger them. They grow cold and hard and assume their all the same. So women like this get summed up to be another loser who walk away like the other selfish ones when their not. It’s sad. U can’t tell if their lazy or what.

Yep it goes immediately to “Oh she just left.” You would h to think they would actually wanna do some work. Heartbroken for Shelly and the rest of the family.

Rural rape syndrome

P

Yep you're right, it definitely sucks it was my grandfather. But now we know the truth.

​@seldomseen_outdoors you are part of this family?

@mdr3w Yes I'm Travis. The oldest child.

arrogant (presumably) CORRUPT boneheads.

Thank you for signing, bc fk my grandfather for killing my mother like this.

For anyone with an ounce of sense or interest. Those cops didn’t care. Deliberately refused to even listen never mind help.

I do believe it. The police don’t do anything sometimes & can often make situations worse.

You can't? They mess up almost everything, everyday.

Corruption is how they got their rotten testicles to be hard enough to make that offer.

They're phu ccin cowards. How do they even sleep at night knowing that they're the ones responsible for making her relive that trauma every. Single. Year??! I hope they got fired. They couldn't even do their own goddamn job.

Why didnt the residents want to help? I watched this case on ID and nobody want to come forward or smth. Only 12 years later came forward due to facebook post

We weren't camping over her. She was far away from the campsite. But yes, it's fkd up.

and if the officers is still in position we better remove them

Not stupid, just morally bankrupt.

​@@airplanemaniacgaming7877I would say willingly choosing to do the wrong thing is absolutely stupid.

Agreed. By far my favourite channel on KZfaq that cover this type of content.

Yes. I love the fact that they focus on the victim and not the killer.
