@@Morgan_LayfayThey can be hard to distinguish for sure.

Madison wanted to stay, plus she had her own car, plus there were still people there at the time. If anything, the party organiser's should have woken her and explained everyone else had gone

especially on a camp ground

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I was thinking the same thing. The mom was doing her best to hold it together.

Yes, I heard that as well. She was trying so hard to be brave.

I have stories behind my thoughts, but no reason to share them... One thing I learned during great loss.. Most guys / boys / men have a fair amount of friends.. The fortunate ones have even more.. That being said.. When it comes to tragedy.. Women almost always will outclass the men... WE may be "tough.". We may be 'chiseled' into pretending we are granite, and some may actually be, but the true source of strength IMO, are Women.. Still heartbreaking on this situation..

@@daCubanaqt IF you stripped away 'egos' most of us 'boys' (Men - or not) have.. Women almost always hold it together far better than men do.. "Just Saying"...

It's horrible. It really rips your heart up.

I am so sorry that your friend hasn't been found and I am sorry for the pain you and the rest of the community must feel. I hope someday that someone finds her.

@@surrealistgirlx thank you💗

I'm so so so sorry. That's awful... I cannot imagine your pain and I second the comment above mine. I hope you get closure someday soon 🫂💚🐝-Bee

@@andyandbee Thank you so much💗

What was your friend's name and was she ever registered or told that she was missing? I know the cops don't like to do their jobs.

Right🤓 Mississippi Idaho Ohio Should be extremely peaceful to then😄

That area is Canada's Florida.

The trend is to search "Florida man, (and the month and day you were born)" to see what horrible, funny or scandalous story comes up. Mine came up, 'Florida man accidently shoots son in law at surprise birthday party' There's so many horrible things that happened that I haven't heard of one person doing it and getting a good news story. It scares me because hubby and I have been making plans to move to the keys after he retires in the next few years. It's making me question myself if I really want to live there. 😬

Don't do it!!! Too much weird stuff happens in that state. I don't even want to vacation there. Yikes!​@@GrandmaJoJo-gd6yh

A friend's daughter disappeared on that highway

There's actually a series that documents the victims lives and stories of those who lost their lives on the highway. They have links to support the families. Very respectful

It's evil.

@@joycebrackbill-henderly8311 It’s people who are the evil, not the place.

@@eh1702 Yup. It's actually beautiful.

I have to disagree. If they’re refusing to leave and putting you at risk, it’s time to get out of the situation and let them reap what they’ve sewn.

Madison wanted to stay. She had her car, she was among people she knew. If anything the party organiser's should have woken her and told her that everyone had left.

@@Convict2Gardener The plan was to camp there. You stick to the plan you made when you were sober. You never leave someone behind alone.

Nobody did.....just a victim loving liberal playing the victim. It's what they do! @@user-iz1kz8dq6h

English is a foreign language for me and yet I noticed that you left out the important word "native".

@@alestbest you talking to me? U mean like "who de-humanizes native Canadian women?"

Who dehumanises native Canadian women and in what way?

Yeah they also forget to tell you a lot of the crimes against indigenous are done by their own people on their own reservations... My SIL was attacked on their reservation in California... it was a local indigenous - NOT white man

Way to go UKposts removing the truth... didn't like my comment pointing out that indigenous are the ones that often @ttack other indigenous? My sister-in-law lives on a Reservation in California... she was @ttacked - by her own indigenous people - they also brushed it under the rug bc they protect their own. Sorry people don't like truth, but the percentage of indigenous on indigenous crime is higher than white on indigenous *it's just not reported the same* bc it occurs on Reservation Land not bound to US Laws of governance

Last time I was in Vanderhoof (a few years ago) the posters were still up in some places 😥

and the white girls as well.

@@Skaramoosh5 yes..... but there is a serious epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous people. Geez you can't even talk about the issues that indigenous people face without others going "bUt wHaT AbOuT tHe WhItE PeOplE!!!"

Agreed

I listen while I clean as well

When I was driving alone cross country in 2006 I stopped for gas early evening in the middle of the NV desert. (I had driven twice cross country once alone in 1984 and once with a female friend in 1985 and never had any trouble.) An older guy at the pumps asked where I was headed I said I would probably stop in Winnemucca for the night. He said to get going, as it was getting dark ‘and there are bad actors on this road.’ Which had very little traffic. I took his advice. I had an eerie feeling I’d never had during the other 2 trips when I’d driven at night.

Exactly. Serial killers are drawn to those areas for good reason.

@@phaedrapage4217 Yup, very easy to get away with their crimes up there. Not likely to get interrupted either and if the victim escapes, well, where would they go anyway? More easy for them to hunt their victims. So glad we don't have such space in my country, yeah we have our murders and such but at least if you escape, you are likely to find help or shelter somewhere very soon and the police can be at your area in minutes.

@@phaedrapage4217 You know what would have prevented so many of these highway of tears cases? Decent infrastructure and poverty alleviation programs. Hitchhiking is only normal when people don't have access to vehicles or can't afford a bus (if they even have buses there anymore). Other countries have high speed rail connecting even smaller cities. In Canada if you can't afford a car and don't own a house you don't matter.

​@@Jorendotry living in rural Australia 😅

3/2/24 If Le stopped ignoring people telling them their daughter went missing, until bones are found 2 yrs later!! Even called from family member, so call was recorded. Glad suing!

Maybe Mike will look into that one for us ❤

They were murdered by that guy who offered them work logging right ?

I agree but it won't stop so many women would leave there friend anywhere just to be around a guy they like.....

She wanted to stay, she wasn’t drink she could of drove home, her friend didnt do anything wrong

This is good advice/reminder.

just because a drunk friend wants to get in a car are you gonna let them? it's kinda the same thing here. just because a VERY YOUNG woman wants to stay in the woods alone are you gonna let her?@@mosu9133

​@@user-mz2vf6wk9lNot the women I knew. We also would not go off, but get home together.

Great idea

Please do so I can avoid those places 😅

@Darrion…..that would be interesting 👍🌻

Please do, perhaps there's a connection between some of the unsolved cases

Actually...🤔

No, we really don't. The problem is missing/murdered indigenous women are primarily murdered by indigenous men but that fact seems to be lost in the inconvenience of an agenda of "wokeism" and conveniently swept under the rug and no one wants to say that quiet part out loud.

YES YOU DO, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, ITS DISCUSTING HOW THAY TREAT THE INDIGINESS PPL OF CANADA, AND AMERICA, ABSOLUTELY DISCUSTING. YOUR LIFE'S ARE WORTH JUST AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER WOMANS OR MANS LIFE, THE AMOUNT OF MOTHERS WHO STILL TO THIS DAY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT HAPPEN TO THERE BELOVED DAUGHTERS, GRANDDAUGHTER'S , IS SOO VERY SAD AND DAUGHTERS WHO'S MOTHER'S AND AUNTS HAVE GON MISSING TOO, ITS JUST TERRIBLY SAD, THERE IS ONE SICK SICK MAN OUT THERE TARGETING THE TRIBAL LADIES/INDIGINESS LADIES OF THE LAND, AND EVEN AFTER 1 WOMAN WENT MISSING THERE, IT WAS FAR TOO MANY, CANADA NEAD TO PULL THERE FINGERS OUT N STOP THIS FREEK ONCE AND FOR ALL, IM SURE THAY COULD USE A FEMALE POLICE OFFICER AS A PLANT AND CATCH HIM, THAY JUST DO NOT GIVE A DAM, AND THAT'S DISCUSTING.

It’s just such a perfect storm for the worst nightmares. That many native communities and so many people that live in them without vehicles. How else is one to go places other than walking or hitchhiking. Then the fact that it’s so isolated makes it a magnet for evil people like this because it presents an opportunity to easily fulfill their “fantasies”. Also, we’re racist towards natives here in Canada. Straight up, let’s be honest. The police themselves used to drive them to deserted highways in the middle of winter and leave them to die! Like they aren’t people at all! It’s atrocious and such a disgrace to our country. Most of us just don’t know what to do to change it and honestly don’t understand how bad it is if we don’t live it. So nothing changes. On top of all of that though, small towns are evil on their own. In my experience at least. They are the darkest corners of the earth where sick people accumulate and all the residents hide their secrets. I’m white and my parents came from a town like this. Mostly white people there honestly and I moved there from grade 10-12 (grew up with my mother and she wasn’t much better). It f*cked me up for life and I can honestly say I feel fortunate I made it out. You can actually FEEL the evil energy when you drive into town if you’re sensitive to that type of thing. There’s been missing girls from there as well and, same thing, nobody really knows about them. It’s easy to sweep things under the rug like that in isolated communities and the rest of the world doesn’t know or care. It’s nothing like the highway of tears as it’s just one small town out in the boonies surrounded by endless wilderness. It’s enough to draw the sick and twisted though. And the psychopaths don’t even have to leave if they don’t want to. Some are just passing through but many just live there. Everyone knows what they did but nobody says anything. It’s SICK beyond comprehension. There’s far more evil in this world than most of us could even ever imagine.

I am so sorry. It's absolutely shameful that this epidemic is not getting the attention it needs and deserves. When these numbers of women are affected it is an epidemic and a public health risk. However because these women are indigenous no one gives a damn.

😢I'm so sorry for this happening in your communities 🫂 💜

Yeah, when he said 40, I thought “isn’t it more like 400?” So tragic- I’m so sorry for what has happened to you. All of these cases deserve to be solved and the tragedies need to stop

So very many

So many he could basically make this whole channel about them. I do think he’s done 2 or 3 HoT cases in years past tho

yes like shelly anne basscou from hinton alberta that went missing on hiighway 16 in1983.

Totally. He'd have weeks worth of content if he covered every one that ever happened.

@@KittKatt542 Should always be considered.

Same here in NJ usa

Couldn't agree more as a BC girl myself!

What is BC?

British Columbia, the Canadian province where this takes place. @@phil8528

The event being advertised as open to everyone seems suspicious.

I agree, at a party weekend like that at least a few of the hard core party guys would have passed out in their tents, thats the whole reason to have a party weekend out at a lake it sounded really suspicious hen they said that every single person went home at 2-3 am and left her aloe there the other kids know something!

I don't think enough is being made of everyone leaving. WTH?

No. It is NOT odd that Kiely rodni's remains were in the rear of her car ....it is physics.

She had her truck with her though. Didn't want to leave her truck behind and didn't want to drive drunk (like any reasonable person). Between a rock and a hard place she decided to stay.

@@warrent3464 But, everyone said she wasn’t much of a drinker. And, everyone who saw her after midnight said she seemed just fine - not drunk at all. Unless I missed it, or you know a detail Mike didn’t cover??? If, so, please share!

@warrent3464 Yes, like the person above me stated - everyone reported that she was not drunk. And if her Mother's statement is correct and she'd have never chosen to stay by herself then it'd be a more logical assumption to assume she would much rather just get an Uber the next day to pick up her truck. So, either way, it would seem that someone is lying here.

​@@vexu7366 She wasn't drunk by teenage bush party standards, she wasn't fighting or falling in the fire drunk, but id assume she had at least 4-5 drinks, enough for her to know it would be illegal for her to drive and she would fail a breathalyzer. You would be taking a big risk leaving a vehicle completely alone overnight at a Northern BC free rec site. There are no ubers there. Closest city that uber operates in is 10 hours away, just to give you an idea of how rural this area is. A taxi wouldn't even go down those rough backroads. These logging roads and free recreation camp sites are the wild west out here. Although parents like to think they know everything about their kids it usually isn't the case, especially at that age. I strongly believe that she did choose to stay by herself overnight. Anyways i'm just guessing at all this of course. I remember seeing the billboards and posters everywhere for years and years. So tragic.

@@Steampunkkids Nope, i'm just guessing at all this. She wasn't much of a drinker which shows she is a responsible person. Maybe she had 4 or 5 drinks and was feeling it a bit and was smart enough to know she would fail a breathalyzer. If you go to one of these bush party's and your not falling down drunk, your considered sober lol. I would have done the same thing, the thought of getting a DUI and losing my license is way scarier than sleeping in the woods alone.

I know, so much to this story

He’ll follow up on it later you can bet

There isn't a highway in the US with better results. Seems racist to me everyone is obsessed because this area mostly one race disappeared.

@@Z-rn5uy Here in Canada some have romanticized and some have white guilt for the indigenous, mainly the "woke", indigenous women in Canada are mainly missing/murdered by indigenous men but no one wants to say that quiet part out loud because it doesn't fit their agenda

Totally agree. Not one highway in the US lost fewer people over the same period but natives matter more because of their race. You all totally aren't brainwashed racists

The killer(s) probably even helped with the search

Sick to the stomach when reaching the camp site and she’s nowhere to be found.

I'm not. Are you familiar with "the vibe is off"? How many people would you need to sleep in a place like that? The more people leave the more I would want to leave. And obviously there was a good reason to leave

@@no_peace I've been to plenty of party's, Hoss. That's why I'm not buying this story. What would be a good enough reason for all 49 of them, some of them had to be driving drunk after drinking all night, to leave the place they planned on camping out at all weekend? The vibe was off? That's ridiculous. If the vibes off, you zip up your tent and fall asleep for the night.

They were drunk and decided it would be easier to pack everything up and leave, going back the next day, rather than staying the night and sleeping it off, when they had been all set up to camp for the night. Ya, not buying it.

@@saddletramp5000 was she drugged? Was this a set up? Almost like an offering...How many kids were there?

Ikr I'm trying to play out this scenario in my head...its just too weird.

@thegreencat9947 In this video he said around 50 people. So ALL 49 bounced because a fight broke out after they'd been drinking by the campfire all night? I could see a handful of people leaving, but all 49? There's no way.

Cop?

I can't say, I was guessing a local farm hand who works close with the families of those properties. Or pair of people. Pretty scary though.

Not really. Barely one a year. It's not statistically above any other highway. Just hapoens to be mainly one race in that area so racist people obsess over it

@@Z-rn5uy More than 40 people, mostly Indigenous and mostly women or girls, have gone missing and/or were unalived along this route and keep happening monthly! So sorry to say you’re wrong but what a nice lovely person would ever argue about a subject like this !

Indeed, it's a heartbreaking tragedy, and my heartfelt condolences go out to Madison's family and loved ones during this difficult time. The stories surrounding the Highway of Tears are deeply disturbing and serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous communities.

So sorry for your friend's loss. I hope they find her.

It's really up to family and community to protect us

What EXACTLY do you expect the GOVERNMENT to do? This is a vast highway, with few resources like RCMP patrols possible. It would cost a fortune. People have to take some responsibility for their own safety, especially in remote places.
