INTERESTING THINGS TO NOTE! I forgot to mention in the video that if she was napping, her slippers would not be one. Yet her slippers were missing as well, which to me says the nap is either a false story or she herself had gotten up in which case her step father would have noticed her up and about. SECONDLY, thanks to a brilliant commenter, if the dog slipped out of his collar then HOW did the appraiser know where to return the dog to? So many questions......

I'm a little disturbed at how the mother would get back with this man after the alleged sexual abuse wtf...sad

As a mother, how can you get back/stay with someone who was accused of sexual assault on your daughter. If it was a lie why would she put it in her diary? Usually if kids lie like that they actually say it to the parents face. They dont put in a diary. This leads me to believe that the mother was part of it. Yet another case of a mother choosing a boyfriend over their own kid. 13 is the age where teen girls start getting "difficult" especially with their mothers. Maybe that pushed the mother to start to dislike her daughter (which is super fucked up) and so when the stepfather sexually assaulted the daughter and killed her, the mother was like with him on it.

YIKES you find out your boyfriend assaulted your daughter sexually and you stay with him??? Even though she's mysteriously missing???? I would throw his ass halfway across the country if I found that out, not continue living with him???

One of the strangest details of this is that Rachel wasn't allowed to contact her paternal grandmother, I think that speaks a lot to the mother's character. To me, it seems like she valued being with Vincent more than her child, why else would you stay with someone accused of sexually assaulting and potentially murdering your child? I think she could have even been involved in the disappearance.

If he was sexually harassing her maybe she got pregnant and he wanted to get rid of her.. this case is so sad. I think he is guilty!!

As somebody wrote here: she could have gotten pregnant with him and that’s why she felt bad that day. Maybe she told him, he got scared and killed her. He had enough time to hide her body somewhere. 1. Failed lie decector tests 2. Scratches on his body 3. She writing about him sexually abusing her 4. The pillow and blanket missing (blood?) 5. Crazy dog story with some stranger being able to return the dog knowing the address without the collar There is just too much pointing into his direction. Her mom being with him after she learned about that Rachel’s diary entry? Kinda sick I am 99% sure Vincent and Rachel’s mom watched the video and possibly read the comments. If so: I really hope the person who killed Rachel will be held responsible!

So sad :( I absolutely think Vincent is guilty, he should be in jail!

Please do the case of Abigail Villapando,, it’s one of my friends sister she died,, she got hit killed while she was pregnant, please like this up😔!.

It breaks my heart when these innocent little kids get killed...kids! It's wrong to murder ANYONE but kids...

If the sexual assault had been going on for at least months I wonder if the girl got pregnant. How old was she? He knew he would be found out if this girl wasn't feeling well and was taken to the doctor and that's what they found. Maybe he planned to get rid of her to cover what he had been doing. How could the mom stay with this horrible man. I hope they find out what happened to her. Sad story.

*_Rachel wrote in her diary that he'd molested her. The so called "mother" seems clueless. Why on earth would she leave her daughter home alone with a man who was not her father,the mother should have stayed home with her daughter. I'm sure there were signs that Rachel was having trouble.I mean,the mother was so pathetic that she actually got back with a man "who her own missing daughter stated molested her".He had scratches on him from somewhere and you mean to tell me that the police didn't find that suspect?The dog excuse is suspect to me.I have seen cases where people are still tried without a body.I wouldn't be surprised at all,if the mother was involved in her daughter's disappearance and she used her job as cover._*

Who would steal the pillows? He used those pillows to kill her and/or the pillows and blanket had his blood on them from all the scratches. The pillows/blankets are missing to hide evidence.

I think she got scared her stepfather was going to hurt her again and knew her mother wouldn't believe her, so she panicked and called her grandmother. The step father came into the room (or wherever the phone was) and saw her making the call. He got angry and hung up the phone ... idk just a thought

I know her grandma feels guilty all yhe time bout not answering that day 😢

It’s sad when a mother sided with her husband over her daughter who isn’t even his!!! A poor young girl was sexually assault under her own eyes by her husband!!! I think Vincent did something and took things too far by killing her and possibly dumping her body in a lake. I feel that her father was the only one who truly cared for her and he deserves closure!! All of this could have been prevented if the mother opened her eyes!! RIP❤️

What a beautiful girl she was, I hope they get justice for her. Being sexually abused and not having the person who is supposed to keep you safe believe you is a hell of its own. I can tell she would of continued to be an amazing person if she was still alive. This is so beyond heartbreaking.

Vincent is absolutely guilty. I believe that he decided to assault her as soon as the rest of the family left the house, and she was more prepared to fight back since he had done this to her before. She scratched him and fought back, which is why he had scratches and scrapes on his body. Since Vincent had a history of domestic violence, he might have hit her or choked her to the point where if anyone saw her, she would report what happened and Vincent would go to prison. He didn't want to give her that chance to speak, so he decided to take her a few hours away and kill her (since there was no blood evidence in her house). He drove back home, created the story, and the rest of the family got home. He hadn't memorized all the details of his fake story, which is why there were a lot of inconsistencies. Her poor mom is in denial and didn't want to accept or believe that Vincent killed her daughter. As for the phone call to her grandmother, I believe she was trying to call to see if her grandmother could come get her or see if she could live with her instead to escape the abuse of Vincent. I hope he goes to rot in jail, because he is as guilty as it gets.

Also this girl was/is so pretty like wow

Sorry excuse for a mother staying with that guy. People like her make me sick!

You are so incredibly respectful and I love how you humanize the people in these cases even more, like mentioning little personality traits etc. This just shows that these are more than just "cases" or "victims". So much respect for you. You look amazing btw xx

As soon as she said he had a stepfather I was like welp. It was the step father.

This is so frustrating..Doesn't matter if there isn't solid evidence against the stepfather. The fact that she wrote an entry in her diary about being sexually assaulted by him and him not being convicted is disturbing. You don't just write that. Have her friends been questioned? Maybe she shared how her relationship with her stepfather was or confided in the sexual assault(s)? Or a teacher notice a change in behaviour?

She probably was killed the night before by Vincent and the mom covered up for him don't want to judge anyone but this is what my gut tells me I wouldn't stay at home if someone tried molesting me

My theory is that he likely did see her being sick and tired as an opportunity to abuse her. I think he would have maybe tried to sneak on her while she was trying to nap, but didn’t realize she would wake up so easily or didn’t realize she wasn’t fully asleep, and maybe she threatened to call her grandmother and tell on him to get herself removed from the household since he would ensure her mother wouldn’t believe her, so he got angry and suffocated her with her pillow so she couldn’t tell on him and no neighbors would hear her. He might have not intended initially to kill her, maybe just to show her he had the upper hand and could stop whatever attempts she made to expose him, but maybe it went too far or he didn’t realize how quickly her lungs would give up. All his scratches were from her fighting back. He then disposed of her body, wrapping her in the likely contaminated blanket and including the pillow used, leaving no evidence remaining since suffocation leaves few traces. I think he brought her to Lake Michigan, otherwise we would have found her by now. Or he may have gotten help from Peterson, maybe he had buried her somewhere far off or hid her in a storage unit or something, and when Peterson found out he offered help and they found an equally hidden place as where he placed Stacy, or then brought her to Lake Michigan.

I hate to say it but a lot of times in cases like this, the mother is just as much a part of the child's abuse as the step parent. There is a high possibility that she split with him to avoid suspicion and when she felt the hype died down, got back with him. If she knew what happened to her daughter it is easier to believe her moving away and changing numbers not expecting her daughter to ever come back. I feel awful for the father that he was kept away from his daughter only to loose her completely. That was the other thing that bothered me. Not allowing the daughter to have any contact with the father's family at all makes it very much like isolation of a victim of abuse.... Her calling the grandmother before her going missing indicates that she would have felt safe with that side of the family and trusted them. She deserves justice regardless of anything else

I think it was definitely Vincent, who leaves the door unlocked when their child is inside sleeping even if they’re not gone long. and the dog thing seems totally fabricated it’s too much of a coincidence no one walks their dogs in weather that cold? I mean I don’t anyways,and how would the appraiser person know where to return the dog just in time before the family got back. I think what happened is what you said in the video , he tried to assault her while she was in bed but she fought back so he killed her out of frustration and fear she’d tell. This story is so sad I hope that poor girl gets justice someday

All of this happened in my hometown. I was friends with Drew's sons. This video really creeped me out being so close to home and the community seems to have forgotten all about it, which is so wrong.

No parent should have to deal with the pain of not knowing what happened to their child. My heart breaks for every parent who has had to endure something like this!!

I used to watch several channels that do these kinds of stories. Then I found your channel, and through you I found LordenArts. Well ya'll are so detailed and do so much research that I can't watch any other channels because I get so frustrated at the lack of research they do. The way you look at all the angles and put so much effort in these videos is amazing. It's so obvious that you care about the victims in each case that you cover snd I think that makes your videos so much better. While it's great that other channels are bringing exposure to cases that need it, I wish they were more like you and John and truley care about the victims. Certain channels just really get under my skin when they do a 10 or 15 minute barely researched video, and you can tell they just do it for views. I know I'm thankful for you and John for raising exposure while showing concern and compassion for each victim, and I'm sure the families are just as thankful!

To be fair I grew up in this area and people did take their dogs on walks in this weather. We’re used to it. I used to walk to work in below zero all the time. We couldn’t not walk our dog for several days in a row. But no people wouldn’t hang out in this weather outside. But if it was this cold the lakes in the area were probably frozen or close to it and the river too. Bodies often come ashore in Lake Michigan bc of the currants. And the ground would be too frozen to dig. He probably hid the body until springtime.

I believe the sexual assault happened more than once and because she was not feeling well he was worried her mother would take her to the doctors and she may have been pregnant. To cover his track of the sexual assault he had to kill her and make sure her body was never found. Love you videos !!!!!

It sounds like the stepdad had everything to do with this, possibly the other cop is well

The thing that I’m confused about is the fact that he said the dog was returned to him by an appraiser. How did the appraiser know that the dog belonged to him if the dog didnt have a collar on?

Vincent definitely knows what happened to her..he got rid of her..

I actually live in this town and have never heard of this case...Thank you for sharing!

Live for these videos, so happy you decided to dedicate even more of your time to do 2 videos a week, not just because i love the way you do them and seeing your take on a case, but also because it's even more people you are trying to help. You rock girl, keep it up! Also you look so gorgeous!

This actually made me so mad. It was totally the step dad. The guy just looks like a fking creep & it’s heart breaking that even after the alleged sexual assault she stayed with him. This poor little girl deserved so much better.

I just binged watch all of Kendall Rae’s videos and was thinking hmmm i wonder if other channels make similar videos NOW I FOUND YOU AND IM SO HAPPY

Yessss you uploaded this with perfect timing. I was getting so bored 😩 I love you ❤️

I legit comment this on every video, but it’s so amazing all the time and thought you put into all of your videos! It’s so obvious that you love doing this and really enjoy researching😊 thanks for all the quality content!!

What if Rachel was getting assaulted when she stayed home that day, and she was not having it and threatening to tell and he couldn't let that happen so he killed her, and done away with her body. As a mother, this saddens me to the core. I have been following Drew Peterson ever since all that happened. Drew Peterson is one sketchy dude. I hope they find her or find out what happened to her. LOVE your videos. Now I am off to watch the rest of them.

People do walk their dogs in inclement weather, twisting out of a collar and chasing a rabbit is normal dog behavior but it just seems too convenient. She looks like a fighter to me. She may have made a fatal error by threatening to tell on the step-father and he snapped. Maybe that's the reason she was calling her Grandma, she felt the Mom wouldn't listen but a Grandma would. Pretty hard to runaway at 13 and stay successfully hidden. I think she's dead. Very sad, such a beautiful looking young girl.

Poor baby girl 😢 Makes me so sad.

Love your channel. I'm pretty sure I said this before but you're well spoken and very respectful to the people in the cases you cover. I hope your channel continues to thrive.

Discovered you 3 days ago. Binge watched as much as I could ever since! I'm addicted- and wondering how in the world had I not discovered you sooner? Thanks so much for all your hard work. I applaud you for being an advocate AND an amazing investigator.

One person out there knows where she is and knows what happened to this poor girl :(

Look into the Celina Cass case, it's eerily simmilar to this one, with the suspect being the stepfather, the possible abuse, and the girls' ages were close. However, the one difference is that Celina's body was found in a river near her house, wraped up in her blankets, a few days later. It's acctually scary how close the stories are. It's so sad that no justice has been brought to these young girls :( Love from NH!

I love how early you upload these like that's so professional and i love waking up and watching your saturday videos

i get so happy everytime i see you upload a video! i got a lot of breakdowns today and those 28 minutes saved the whole day! you really deserve more people to watch you!

awh, I love you older videos just as much as your newer ones. It’s crazy I remember watching you back then and seeing how excited you were for 70k and now you’re over 300k !! I’m so proud and happy for you girl 😭❤️

The step dad for sure did it that’s so sketchy and if her writing in her diary that she has been sexually assaulted by him then idk what else they need. It’s extremely sad that the mom literally didn’t care and still went back w him it’s so sad

A user on reddit pointed out that it’s quite strange for rabbits to be out and about in such extreme weather.

I’m a town over from Bolingbrook and I have never heard of this case. It’s sad how easily forgotten these wonderful people could be. Thank you so much for shining light on so many cases. Keep shining!

I love these videos so much. You can really see the work that you put into these, and your concern for the victims and families of victims is so genuine. You're becoming my favourite channel on youtube so quickly!!

I feel like maybe the mother had something to do with it aswell. I mean, a mother whose daughter is missing moves to another state with step-father. Knowing that the mother wouldn't allow her daughter to contact any family member from her biological father's side... Maybe the step-father was not only physically abusive but psicologically abusive. He convinced her that her daughter was "bad" or she shouldn't care for her, or threatened her, because the mother knew about the assaults, and that way conviced her aswell to move away. Althought she was at work, she probably knows something. Maybe a mini series about the river murders around the US could be interesting. I've researched it a couple of times, and is pure speculation but none the less interesting. I don't remeber the names of the victims but it was a conspiracy about how in different states, there were murders that happened in a very similar way where they found the body in a river after a night out. It's very similar to a case from my city in Spain about Víctor Da Silva who was found dead in the river, I know friends of his and they all thought there was foul play but ruled it an accident. Just a thought, love your videos!

such a horrible case, poor girl, it MUST have been the stepfather..

Ugh I am obsessed with your videos!! 🖤 you are my absolute favorite KZfaqr!! Thank you for all you do, getting all these missing faces out and not forgotten!!

You look stunning in this video! Thanks again for another excellent video. I look forward to Wednesday & Saturday’s! I’m greedy I wish you posted daily 😬 😂🤷🏼‍♀️. Joking; kind of! You are one of only a few I watch the entire ads , you seriously deserve all the extra income you can get! Thanks again! 💜💜

I wonder if the stepdad found the diary and felt the need to silence her

Her OWN DAUGHTER wrote in her diary that he sexually assaulted her. And now she’s MISSING. On HIS WATCH. And he was covered in SCRATCHES. Yet still 1) He hasn’t been charged or at the very least, looked into more. And 2) She is still with him??? I’m sorry, I know Danelle everyone “grieves in their own way” as you say. But her own daughter verified abuse and then went missing and she isn’t leaving him?? What kind of hillbilly, incest and rape is okay garbage is this? I’m HORRIFIED with this mother. Horrified.

One thing that is bizarre to me about this case is that if her step father was sexually abusing her and she felt trapped or uncomfortable being around him, why would she stay home from school if she knew she’d be alone with him? I know she wasn’t feeling well but still.

Well presented and with real compassion for the missing persons. Good work in keeping these cases in the public domain. As a parent I can't imagine the fear and anguish of not knowing where your child is. Thanks for being a good person.

I think it also could've been someone from the other side of the family that has a problem with both of the parents. But the stepfather seems the most obvious.

Do a video on faith green. Surviving mother whose four children were taken right in front of her. She survived and just testified in court against the man.

I just binge watched your last 5 videos bc I've been so busy with school lately I haven't had much free time to watch them and I've forgotten how much I love you and your videos!! 😭😭 I can't believe your almost at 70k! YAYYY! I can't think of anyone who deserves it as much as you do💗💗 p.s. can I just say that your makeup blows me away every time I watch a new video😍

I'm kind of wondering if the cop and the stepdad knew each other well and maybe they were both involved in her disappearance. Like, perhaps her stepdad left the house to give the cop time to come & take her. Or maybe they both came up with a plan to kill her and covered it up with the bizarre "story".

Can I just say how gorgeous you look in this video 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I've just recently subscribed. Always look forward to your videos. So informative but entertaining too. All for a good cause. Keep up the great work!! 👋🏼

Thank you so much for covering this case. I grew up in Bolingbrook and Rachel's missing persons posters have haunted me to this very day. She's been on my mind a ton lately and it brings be a small bit of peace knowing her name and case is still getting out there. I want nothing more than to see justice for Rachel and her father!

I love the old intro was one of the first songs i learned when i bought my bass.But intros don't matter as much as you Danelle,your compassion is so genuine❤

I think the stepfather definitely had something to do with it, and MAYBE Peterson helped him cover it up?

This is truly so sad. She was such a beautiful little girl. May her soul Rest In Peace 😭🙏🏼❤️

I love your videos so much, I work crazy long days and I love nothing more than putting in my headphones and listening to you! Love from Ireland x

I absolutely adore your videos and have been a long time fan but quarantine has me binging them more than ever, please never stop spreading awareness and making videos!!!

This is similar to the Hailey Dunn Murder. Billy Jean Dunn, and the Moms live in boyfriend Shawn Adkins are the the only suspects. She went missing over xmas holiday. Mom last saw her on a Sunday night. The next day she tells her brother she is going to a sleepover. Tuesday the mom texts the friend to tell Hailey to come home. The Friend says she never came to her house for the sleep over. The cops treated the disappearance as a run away for a long time. The mom and boyfriend were drug users and into so scary stuff involving masks and serial killers. Many interesting things came out after the mom and bf took and failed many lie detector tests. The affidavits of the arrest warrants for the home and car have a lot of crazy information in them. Mom was arrested for hindering the investigation when the investagotors shows up at her home to question Shawn Adkins, the live in, and she said he wasn't there. But he actually was. Drugs were also found which lead to her arrest. The community was outraged that she the mother continued to allow the boy friend to live in the home being the only suspect in her daughters disappearance, and actually had a New Years Party a few days later without a care in the world. She also mishandled the donation money and changed her phone number and moved across Texas. Haileys bio dad was arrested on the day the missing persons report was made for drug charges after the law enforcement went to his house to question him about the last whereabouts of this beautiful 13 yr old. The mother was featured on Nancy Grace a few times and found out on live TV that her boy friend quit his job the day she went missing and pretended to go to work for several days, but actually was at his mothers house online doing some sick shit. Cell pings later show he made a detour from work and went back to the family home. LE supposably found 100,000s of porn on the computer he used at his moms and several Zip drives that were found at the home, but Shawn was never brought to trial on that. Her body was found a county away, 3 yrs later, where the boyfriend had worked at the time and had family in the area. He even stated in the LDT that Hailey would be found in Scurry Co after the administrator of the test asked him where she could be located. He also asked Shawn the live in who should be looked at in this case and he stated him and the mom. I believe the boy friend sexually assaulted Poor Hailey and murdered her, although investagotors, FBI and Texas Rangers never charged him or anyone with the murder. Many believe the cops didn't do a good job handling the case in the beginning, like a lot of cases u do, which lead to many people in the community and people involved to do their own sluething. A lot of information in this case. Please check this out. I would love to hear your theory's and this case and spread awareness and get justice for Hailey Dunn.

If it was as cold as you mentioned in the beginning, wouldn't the bodies of water freeze over? I'm clear out in Utah so I am unfamiliar with the area lol

As always, thank you Danelle for excellent work, God bless you for shedding light into these cases. I pray the authorities get to the bottom of this one. God help this girls Father, it’s not fair to him

I know I'm behind... Lol I'm new and after watching a few other channels, you do more research. One channel told the first part but there's so much more that was just ignored... And it was SO important. Smh Thank you for putting everything out you find. That's important. ❤️

100% GUILTY

*Possible Scenario (What I think happened):* Her stepdad had been molesting her for a while. The mother, of course, would know about this and would choose the stepdad over her daughter. Biggest proof of this is her sticking by the stepdad even when they found an entry in her daughter's diary of him sexually assaulting her. On that day, the stepdad planned to have his way with the girl knowing they would be alone. He began molesting her, and then left her for a short while to go to the bathroom or to do a similarly short task. He comes back and finds her holding the phone calling up her grandmother from her father's side. He attacks her in an effort to make her hang up the phone, before anyone picks up on the other end. She fights back and leaves scratch marks on him. He goes for a final strike that might have been fatal itself, or was enough to knock her over and make her hit her head on something on her way down killing her instantly. So why didn't he just say that it was an accident? Well, knowing that the police would start looking for clues at the scene of her "accident", it would be easier to get caught. For that reason, he decides to dump the body somewhere and fabricate this entire story increasing the number of possible perpetrators. The missing child story line makes it less likely for the police to concentrate their efforts on the actual scene of the crime. - *Detective Extraordinaire Jessica Trentwood*

Such a sad and frightening case, with startling similarities with the cases of Aundria Bowman and Alissa Turney. In both cases, they said their stepfathers had been sexually abusing them before they went missing; their stepfathers have been charged with their murders.

Came across your videos sometime last week and you're literally all I watch rn haha. You go into so much detail on these cases, I love it!

Love your videos. Always filled with information and sincere compassion.

My sister recommended me to your channel cuz I love this kind of content. She also mention that you look like Christina Applegate...she is so right you kind of have her voice as well LOL. Anyways I'm a new subscriber happy to have found your Channel

This is so frustrating and so so sad. The basic facts shocked me so I came straight here to see what you thought about it. Exactly what I was looking for in detail and presentation. Thanks

Literally have been binge watching your videos! 😍 I recently stumbled across them and I’m obsessed! These stories are so sad but soooo interesting! Btw your gorgeous girl, is that your natural curly hair? 😱 If not please show us how you do that please! Also, random question - where is your tumbler from?!

Is your hair naturally curly or do you style it that way? Xx

I'm loving this channel x

Yassss thank you girl!! So excited for today's upload!! Been Bing watching your videos over and over while I go to bed to relax I appreciate you and your channel so much xoxoxo

I screamed “YAS” when I saw this was uploaded, your videos are my favorite on KZfaq ❤️

You should do a series on serial killers, that'd be so interesting! Loved this video Xx

I believe she told her mom about the sexual assault, and the mom didn't believe her. Countless mothers will choose the abuser over the child. I think she wasn't sick at all and maybe took the chance to leave the toxic situation she was in, perhaps the grandma helped her. Or the stepdad killed her in the middle of assaulting her and got rid of her.

Another thing to look at would be even if she was sick if I were in her shoes sick or not I wouldn’t have stayed with a man who assaulted me before and could’ve easily done it again. Maybe he forced her into staying home by threatening her, did something to her, and made up a whole day that they were supposedly together.

As soon as you said, "The stepdad said..." I knew he was involved. He's totally involved.

Love your take on these cases, Danelle! You are the only KZfaqr I will immediately watch when I get your notifications! On a side note, wouldn't all the bodies of water be frozen with the temperature? I am sure Vincent is guilty, but am so curious to know where the poor girl's remains are stored. These cases are just horrible.

Also.. IF it was a stranger.. the step dad took the dog for a walk around 230, which is close to when kids get out of school. Maybe it was perfect timing for him to take a walk at that time!?! Hm.....

I feel so inspired by you, You´re such a beautiful person and so genuine !!!

''Who works on their car in below zero?'' I don't know, maybe someone who needs to get to work in the morning lol

I love your videos. I love to watch them whilst taking a break from studying. Also I love your hair. It is beautiful. Sadly the stress is getting to me and I am loosing tons of mine. So total hair envy. 😍
