I'm so sorry for your loss. Livye never deserved this, and I hope Darci has the closure she needs after enduring this nightmare. You guys deserved way more justice way sooner than was done.

I’m 19 right now and can’t even imagine how my mom and family would react. I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you and your family have many happy and healing years ahead.

So very sorry for your family's loss....

I’m with Darci all the way! NO WAY I’d be leaving that scene until my child did and until I had some answers! She actually handled it better and more calm when she didn’t have to, that was her baby!

wtf is so hard to get that they dont give you information when they are doing investigation and they dont move the body until they are sure they dont mess any evidence.

They still use a polygraph test......lie detectors like the polygraph have been repeatedly disproven 157 times in peer reviewed academic science Journals world wide since the 1950s. That shows you all that you need to know about this police department

Everyone is very respectful in this comment section. Ty .

The sad thing is, when they know someone is a murderer they have to be very careful because anything could cause the case to be thrown out or charges dropped due to certain actions police may take. It's no excuse to treat family wrong but sometimes timing is important when telling someone their child is dead

@@angh2008they are 😊

@@mimimaddI agree and understand building rapport is so important but to even go as far as to say "I'm sorry for your loss" is crazy

Damn, that’s thoughtful and probably really helps.

Exactly

As a retired cop, you are correct. I didn’t hear the officers say, I am so sorry. No one tried to comfort her, they occasionally responded to her screaming. They just stood there like southern cold men. I put my arm around people, hugged people in their most tragic moments, offered support. Not every one of those cops was working the crime scene. Also, giving her a task helps. They were cold hearted.

Yeah they handled her poorly; granted she was caustic and confrontational but considering the circumstances that’s understandable.

I agree these cops were like robots not an ounce of compassion for the mother! Your police officers need some training in having a better human connection with people while grieving

I agree. No compassion whatsoever.

It's the U.S and is in the south especially, there's zero chance a single officer there is smart..

Terrible. Bothered me so much. Smh.

@@darianistead2239 But there are less IC-3 people there...

LOL! A retired sheriff? We have good law enforcement and bad law enforcement, emotions do not have any place when investigating a crime. "I feel terrible for the mother?" only interferes with the investigation.

100%!!!! It’s extremely upsetting

They were doing their job, she was in shock and grieving. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is.

@lohi172 it is part of law enforcement's role that should be managed with compassion and an expectation as to how the family might respond. Police chose to delay informing the family, knowing full well they're in a small town where word of mouth spreads quickly. To stay silent in the face of this mother's pleas was abominable behaviour. To say the scene was poorly managed is an understatement.

@@lohi172they weren‘t doing their job. Their job is to notify the mother asap & send people in person there (you know like the relatives are notified in person when a cop dies on duty). They could have explained everything to her in her home. She had every reason to believe that they try to cover something up & that police is the villain here. She did the right thing & in her situation I would have already attacked the cops after smirking.

@@lohi172 if they acted liked they gave a shit and showed some empathy. it would have calmed her down and she would have let them get to work faster

No

She didn't exactly make it easy lmfao

Right, who doesn't know what to do in this kind of situation? I sure know what I'd say

Nah for real though, nobody knew what to do smh

​@@nsines95um they're police officers and none looked like rookies. You mean to tell me not a single one could de-escalate and at the very least tell her the daughters passed? And yet they guy in the hospital was told her name and possible cause of death. Cmon they failed the mother.

There is a specific protocol for these situations, and cops have to follow that.

​@@laurenmunday9092Then the protocol sucks

@@laurenmunday9092 But they didn't.

Because he is still a suspect, you want to try to coax stuff out of him. Don't go into a career where you need to use manipulative psychology you won't be good at it.

Because he is still a suspect, you want to try to coax stuff out of him. Don't go into a career where you need to use manipulative psychology you won't be good at it.

The ones at the scene and the 2 talking to him at the hospital obviously handle things differently. You can't lump them all in together and paint them all with the same brush strokes, so to speak. I also understand needing to keep even her mama away from the scene and little info told to her as possible. I say this being a mother myself, I would be out for blood and probably so distraught and angry that I could possibly let go of investigation details when it's best in the first 48 hours to give as little as possible so the actual suspect doesn't have time to collect themselves. Usually important details are hidden so that only the suspect would know details and that's how they get them. God knows I wish they would have been a little more sympathetic in how they told her mama that she was deceased 😢

The audacity to interrupt her and dump that instead if even attempting to calm her down and prime her for the horrific news, she didn’t even process what he said at first because of the nonchalance. That hurt my heart

I know. My heart shattered at that moment

That truly hurt my heart as well 😢❤❤❤❤

He was the only officer who tried. And he sucked. My heart breaks for mom and family

Maybe when a death is being reported....a professional counselor should be at the scene to handle those emotions....so police can process the scene of the crime...imo

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that. I can tell by the way the mother acts that she's always loud and obnoxious like that. That's not a mother dealing with the death of her child, that's someone who is clearly confrontational. I have people in my family just like her, right down to the accent.

@@Gerps regardless of how irrational the mother is acting. The cops/law enforcement’s didn’t do a good job with handling her. Any first responders,medical personnel it takes a lot of patience dealing with erratic people. But ignore her, not showing her compassion or any of that was unprofessional.

@@RaZhanBreonna She's interfering with an active crime scene, nothing she did helped the situation. She's demanding answers and claiming the cops are trying to protect the killer when they likely don't have a clue what happened yet.

To be fair, cold-blooded murder is a pretty stupid thing to do.

You just don't hear about the ones who do get away with it though..

I like that "stupid as a box of rocks" you don't mind if I use this saying do ya?

dunning kruger effect seems to be common among criminals, at least the ones who get caught

@@kimwalsh It's a common saying in the south. It helps if you say it with a southern drawl.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother was killed in an accident several years ago and we weren't notified weather she was dead or alive until we got there. The two hour drive felt like an agonizing eternity. The first part of this video was so hard to watch...

​@@kaylagonzalez3465yeah I agree it was hard to watch the lack of care that the cops showed the grieving mother was so cringe.

My condolences to you both. That is not how any grieving family member should be treated.

@@ifeelbetterabouthis.louis3idk if I’d describe a heartbreaking scene as “cringe”…

I agree, but all efforts to stop people from smoking a cigaret in Holland while others can keep drinking. It's ridiculous imho.

it should be illegal

Should have seen the prohibition and how many more people were killed by organized crime (bootlegging). Because once you make something illegal like that it fuels the operation to go underground into organized crime because the value goes up dramatically. People on meth and other things do these kind of things even more…

@@jonnybmk6212Two facts can exist at the same time.

For real ❤

AI did it

Because they didn't know who she was talking about. She might have been talking about some other girl, a passenger, who was not on the scene.

Cops so unprofessional with deceased mum.

a good mother would know🤷🏿‍♂️

I’m just a little confused about the polygraph test they gave Montana. At one point she’s taking the test and she has on a t shirt and then it shows her wearing a sweater. I’m gonna assume that she failed also because the monitor couldn’t pick up through that thick fabric and because like the narrator said, he places everything in the wrong areas of her body that can’t transmit the data correctly. It just seemed odd to me.

Bullshit, in that small town everyone knew who was who. In their defense,i wouldn't want to be the one giving her that news either, and with Darci's boyfriend being there,who could become a suspect down the road therte was a need to keep some things on the DL.@@jsmall10671

They definitely could have handled this better. Yes, she was screaming but so would they if this were THEIR child. The man with her, I guess a husband or friend, could be doing a lot more to help her in her pain.

yea but shes the mother for fucks sake she has every right to know in that moment where her child is. Put yourself in her shoes.

I get your point but the weight of losing a child is fucking brutal, especially when hearing about it from word of mouth. She just wanted answers that sadly no one could give her

These cops are assholes

What do y'all expect they're cops 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same

I know. I said it's a change from most these body cams, usually it's a cold hearted perp acting robotic and unbothered. This poor mother.

Ikr, it reminded me of my mom. Darci is so strong.

This was a fresh crime scene and Cops don't have to give speculations. For all they know SHE could have been in on it (she wasn't, but they don't know the facts at this point.) There's NO excuse for Darci's behavior.

Yea she is, her scrolling thru the fb messages 😂

not to mention it's patronizing and a stereotypical misogynist trope that emotionless men use against women

@@l-b284Calm down 🙄

Yup, I remember when my dad got back from crisis invertevtion training, he said that there are 3 things you don't say to people. "Calm down", "I understand", and "I'm from the goverment and here to help".

Especially if it's a woman.

Maybe they should calm down

"I'm sorry for your loss that you caused"

I seriously doubt that was sincere.

I can even understand if they’re acting sympathetic to try to get him to talk, but it still doesn’t excuse being absolute POS to the grieving mother. She is inconsolable but all they see is “hysterical woman challenging my authority, better be an authoritarian shit to her and demand that she calm down and go away so the real men can do their jobs.”

It’s not about sincerity it’s about doing what’s necessary to get the information they need.

​@@didi012578 respectfully, but it doesn't matter. What matters is: they didn't give the mother a single piece of dignity, as they treated the criminal with all "due respect"? Come on, they should be better than that!

I think they were doing their job & it was getting too tense with her screaming.

@@Tarenreaves3she was screaming bc they were just staring at her like she was crazy. It took nothing for them to tell her but yet they were so selfish bc their feelings were hurt, bc she was (rightfully) yelling. And I 100% believed that the officer might’ve chuckled, they legitimately thought she was the problem. Those officers are disgusting. They couldn’t even console her. They should’ve had a woman officer, who could relate to her and be sympathetic. I wouldn’t be surprised if they would act like that with their own children.

Yeah it was obvious those were small town cops who either never handled a murder case or knew the people involved which stopped them from acting appropriately

was thinking this too, esp bc Montana said she was given a nerve pill to calm down during her polygraph

Got a feeling she knew she took the car 😒

Same lol if you're the kind of person that metabolize tragic news alone later in time while being calm and put together on the moment you're screwed with these people. They analyze every movement you do as if there's a manual to "how to grieve like a good person would", some people just freeze and calm down without showing much of a response to the bad news (especially if you're not neurotypical) but they make it sounds as if that would be the weirdest reaction ever

It a good thing they can’t convict you off of these things then and need evidence

Mmmyeahhh generally the people at the scenes are 🎉

Yeah, those cops were incompetent at serving the public, like the poor victims' family here.

Thats drugs... Shes detached from reality and for a split moment she was brought back to that reality, but if you watch, she instantly went back to a drug induced/erratic state since it brought comfort which is why drugs are an issue in the 1st place. Like many drug addicts, they only care about their "baby" or loved one when its too late and they take an even higher amount of drugs afterward. I sympathize with her too but theres empathy and then theres exucusal. If you excuse her behavior, you only create more situations like this

Regardless of drugs or not, she is her mother and a parent’s feelings in a situation like this is unimaginable. That’s her child and she lost her, she can be in any state she wants in this moment. As a parent I could never comprehend this kind of lost. I’ve been on the scene of finding a love one murdered and there is no right state of being to be in when the moment involves you.

@@1utube01 yea ok. They have literally zero information yet because they haven't even been able to START, and the mom shows up and starts screaming at everybody. Not that she's not allowed to be upset of course, but she's more focused on being confrontational and demanding than grieving for her daughter. I would love to see you try and control a scene like that.

that is so unbelievably sad. my heart goes out to you. I hope you are able to still find happiness and love in this life. RIP Kayden Phllips xxx

@@brianmcnellis5512u ass !!! How rude

tbf i also hated that but i think it was just the cop himself that was weirdly giving out too much information and being overly kind, he probably would’ve done the same if at the actual crime scene with the mother. at least i believe

The cops just got there and had no information and she was stopping them from investigating to figure it out while acting volatile. For all they knew, she did it and was acting irate to appear innocent. Which is what guilty people do to throw cops off. Reminds me of several cases of parents who have killed their children doing this to cover their guilt in the child's "disappearance". I felt like her behavior was insincere and she needs anger management.

@stormy7318 Dude was at the hospital with the info at the same time the mother arrived at the scene so I would assume they had the same info to give her. I don't think she hindered to much of the investigation and she didn't seem like a person who needed anger management. More like a distraught mother to me. For the most part she was pretty chill. Imo

😭🤣🤣🤣

That’s what was said??

They... aren't admissible in court.

Polygraphs are literally fake. Police are supposed to know this and use them as an interrogation tool, not fall for the trick themselves.

They aren't admissible in court, that's exactly why they shouldn't even be included in this analysis.

She demanded that a murder investigation be concluded while standing in the middle of the crime scene during the middle of the initial investigation. What mercy did she deserve? The cops didn’t send their 19 year old to hang out with some older, divorced alcoholics. Darci did.

I know what you mean, I had to tell my brother that our father passed in person, such an emotional time.

They should have removed her. She was interfering with an active investigation. I understand being kind and being sympathetic, but she was not helping them learn answers to what she wanted to know. They were trying to keep the situation calm. I never heard a laugh, but since I was not there and did not see what happened outside viewof the camera, that would be disrespectful.

@@brandym3cbut those guys were just tending the cordon - they were not paying an active role in any investigations. The way they treated her was horrendous - she rightly should’ve been removed with compassion and sympathy - and they let small bits of info go - so why not tell her those small bits at the beginning instead of treating her as an annoyance

Right, instead of standing there ignoring her when she's begging for information.

@@sky19801ya where was their compassion at least!!!

Yes! That was infuriating! Yes she's acting crazy, but she also just found out her daughter is dead and no one is giving ANY info at all, or firm reassurance that they're investigating and she will be first to know as soon as they knew anything.

She should have come back armed. By default cops respect no one, not even the grieving

It wouldn’t have mattered what they did

Same, then I started crying for everything. I’m not a cryer usually; just an angry cynic🤷🏽‍♀️😂. It was a bit cathartic though idk…

But she is making it worst. So much worst.

It's understandable that the cops want to preserve the crime scene and collect as much evidence as possible. However, some of those people especially the coroner I think it was didn't need to talk to her in the manner in which they did. It almost came off as... Listen woman!

You can't judge others on how they act. She lost her kid. Until you lose someone you don't understand the grief, confusion and anger.

Nah the b**** needed a timeout acting like a child

@@purvue you have no clue the amount of desperation that goes into protecting a child. They wouldn't even tell her if she was dead or not. They refused to give her that respect, and of course she was frantic.

Exactly!!! Well said!!!

They are all like that out here. Every one of them identical… animals

Exactly why there is no such thing as a good cop or "not all men". When you witness, know of, excuse, and ignore abusive, violent, criminal behavior, you are just as culpable.

It's tough. Obviously, as an adult now, I would do the right thing. Thinking back at my teenage years, I'm not so sure. All my high school friends were from middle school and I actually lived with my one friend for part of my senior year in high school. My guess it would be more of a passive intervention.

Exactly. Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas. You become who you associate with.

Their the most incompetent,disrespectful police force I've ever heard of...plus they didn't teach the desk cop how to give a polygraph test properly. That's Way dangerous and the horrible way they treated that Mom that just lost her baby girl. She asked if she was dead or alive and they just stared at her like they were touched mentally! These guys need to be let go

​@@senyuri7496Yeah because the mom showed up before they even finished investigating the crime scene. They didn't know how she died yet, by the time they went to the suspect in the hospital they had collected more evidence and had more information

Yes, very poorly handled by the police.

​@ImaRandomFemale No its not helpful when she is screaming wanting to know where her child is and Noone tells her. They were totally unkind, showed no compassion.

i do have to say, i thought she was acting very suspiciously. it was grief, but it came off weird, at first. and sadly, parents sometimes kill their kids. but i do agree they waited too long and i TOTALLY believe her when she thought that officer was smiling. some ppl are cold af.

she came up on them screaming. They are trying to do their job its uncalled for to treat them like that

It's wild listening to it. Surely a law firm is going to contact this woman about filing a lawsuit to the police about how many house rules the police have broke and the lack of respect given to the grieving mother

Exactly. All for a man that doesn't care about any of them obviously. She's even pretending she liked Livy... NO. SHE. DIDN'T . The only thing she's about to accomplish is orphaning her kids.

Montana was talking in past tense. She never thought he would do something like this. It’s not hard to understand that context at all. The whole “I will kill you” thing had only just happened and obviously she thinks he could now.

​@@hunter.5625ohhhhh you do not want to say that. That is a can of worms you don't understand so your comment is so unbelievably ignorant it doesn't even register.

​@@hunter.5625clearly you've never been the victim of abuse. Fear of retaliation is the real thing

@@hunter.5625 This is an ignorant statement. My 15yo daughter was sexually assaulted by a boy at school, standing directly under a video camera. She did manage to kick him in the groin and get away. She went to class and an hour later she was back at that spot when he approached her again and without warning punched her in the throat. Also caught on video. She had never even dated this boy and he had also been assaulting no less than 4 of her friends for months. I filed a police report, the school is denying any of the other girls reported abuse even though my daughter was with them when they did it, and we just received a letter saying the county attorney has decided not to pursue charges for either the sexual assault not the punch to the throat. We did thankfully get a restraining order, but it cost us $3,000 because his mom filed a frivolous restraining order against my daughter for protecting herself. She went through 9 months of drama and she had to repeat what happened to her over and over, watch the video of it happening to her, and as a result has started cutting and gained an eating disorder. All for this kid to get off basically Scot free. My only condolence is that if someone looks him up, the explanation of what he did will be found in the application for the restraining order and maybe, maybe it will help the next girl-because there will be others. He lied and tried to justify his behavior the best he could considering it was close up and both incidents were recorded. I am glad there will be a record, but my daughter was very upset that she had to go to court and talk about the incidents. She would not have filed had it been her choice, so don’t ever wonder why women don’t report it. Be glad you have no concept of how it feels to have to go through this process. Focus on why men abuse and murder these women and can’t accept when someone breaks up with them because of it.

Some people get so used to the behavior, they become blind to it. "Oh, they're fighting again..." It is a shame though.

@@dddddd211 I'm really sorry you didnt have the greatest childhood, or the best guidance growing up. In my opinion it's a parent's responsibility to teach their children at a young age to have self respect, respect for others, be held accountable & also receive positive reinforcements, all while raising them to be well adjusted adults in a healthy environment. Unfortunately parents aren't perfect, but some are just downright abusive on many levels. And sadly they do not see how their words & actions can have lifelong negative effects on their children, nor do they accept responsibility in their contributing parts to any of it. I was raised overly strict and was taught some valuable life lessons along the way, but it wasn't peaches & cream either with belt beatings for punishments in the mix. Although I will say, your experience was probably horrible compared to mine. I really hope you can find some healing & inner peace from all of the horrible things you've been through in the past. It's not an easy thing to work through & get to a better place immediately, but I have faith you'll get there. The first step in my humble opinion is to work on letting go of the past & know deep down that you can do this. You really need to believe in yourself & acknowledge that you are worthy of happiness now, and you will be the person who makes that happen moving forward. Don't allow others to bring you down & let the toxic people & memories be dust beneath your shoes. Be strong, you got this!

Haha! I noticed that too!..maybe he was hitchhiking and they picked him up

Agreed they were acting pretty heartless about it

Look there is a time and place for things, and the cops have their jobs to do. Their job is to investigate and seek proper justice, counseling is not their top priority. They need to first and foremost set things straight before they deal with it, and that's what they were doing. They've also probably experienced many things already, and that might contribute to their indifference - desensitization. That parent has the right to grieve, but just not there, when she's making things difficult for everyone when she doesnt have to. They still need to find out how she died, after all, and she'd probably not like it if they couldn't find out and catch who did it. With her making an emotional mess of things, they cant focus, and that runs the risk of missing certain aspects of the scene even after the situation.

​@kosherre6243 suck that boot harder. Do you not understand empathy and compassion at all. Blindly defending them on every comment is as useless as those cops were. Ol boy that weighed 400lbs immediately saying leave or go to jail is the very definition of tyrant.

⁠​⁠@@kosherre6243 If anything, since they’ve seen so much they should know exactly how to deal with her. Who’s job do you think it was to de-escalate that situation? The mother who just lost her young daughter, or the 5 officers standing in a circle giving Darci vague answer’s about her daughter? How you could say that there’s a time and a place to react to the news about your daughters death??? You’re about as cold as those useless officers. Also- desensitization means literally nothing in this context. They can still be emotionally unaffected by the situation while also emotionally supporting the victims. I don’t care if she was running up and down the street making the biggest scene in the world; her kid died- there’s no “acceptable” way to react to that news.

​@@kosherre6243 is that how they handle things in your area? Im confused bc the police in my area literally have training in order to be able to deal appropriately with situations bc there is so many situations where it comes up.

Reminded me of when my sister called the doctor a liar when he told us our other sister had passed. It is an understandable reaction, but it doesn't make life easier for professionals who have to deal with tragedy everyday. Plus, any leaked information could have jeopardized finding and convicting her killer. They were on the mother's side. The mother wouldn't realize it until she calmed down...or burned down Matthew's house. After the experience losing my sister, I could not imagine being a doctor or first responder who sees that all the time. They all must get nightmares and have ptsd.

I understand they don't all know what's going on either or are doctors but they could've said something and tried to calm her down

Their job is to get the case finished and closed not pm motionly involved

That was horrible. Even without training, you can be more sensitive to a stressed out mother when you know she is about to receive the worst news of her life (and she had probably heard the rumours already)

@@MANGONPRAWN Her reaction would've been tough to watch if she was five miles away from the crime scene surround by loved ones. Mental health concerns of small southern towns come far behind the calling for more tax cuts.

her name is *livye 💜

Probably auto corrected. Autocorrect is he'll.

It takes two seconds to see the correct name and use it.

@@cindykq8086 eye sea watch yew deed dare

And it takes one second to show some grace and leave the mistake alone

Why people dont hold parents accountable for clearly creating shitty people is a mystery to me

That’s exactly right

@@heatherem5690really? It’s a mystery to you? Don’t be so stupid!

Well it's up to the adult to become a better person in the end, regardless of your upbringing. Different story if you're talking about a minor.

Yup. Exactly why shitty parents should always be held liable in these kinds of situations. Disgusting excuse for parents.

The way that one officer just stood there in his dumb hat looking at her like she's crazy, with his mouth open, saying nothing as if he shouldn't know how to deal with family members of crimes is infuriating.

Ok, but it was a murder and she was actually probably INVOLVED. SO YES THEY WERE PLAYING GAMES WITH HER....

She wasn't d3vastated She wss covering for the guy Look at her interview with the police She doesn't care

You guys didn't watch the whole video. She already knew livye was dead. So, she was FAKING IT

Idk if you realize this, but they can’t tell anyone anything in case they are the perpetrator or helping the perp. Plus they’re literally figuring out what’s happening they aren’t gonna know everything as soon as they get there.

When she realized her daughter was gone....😭😭😭it took me back to 18 months ago when I was told my daughter was dead. Even now sometimes I ask(or scream) WTF?? We also had to deal with callous officers.

Sorry for your loss 😞

@@mikemurray8562 Thank you Mike.

I pray for you...@@kristy9337

Especially when being told you're grieving too loudly. I felt for her as she laid back on the ground.

@justjenreacts you’re absolutely correct, she acted better than some mothers would. When they finally told her that her daughter wasn’t alive and she fell backwards it punched me in my gut, nobody should have to feel that.

they were all cruelly gaslighting her. looking at someone silently who screams questions in pain will only make them scream louder and become more distressed.. i’m so sorry for her

@@zazu3006you have no clue what gaslighting is….

Well, not accordingly but understandably. You can give a grieving mother some leeway on misconduct in a crime scene of their dead kids because its understandable she's going to be upset.

​@makingadjustments laughing would be gas lighting which I totally would not put past these officers with the way this video went...they could have de-escalated the situation by one officer answering a few questions...instead they chose not to and even lied about some things to get out of answering her questions....so yea gas lighting

They gave more respect and information to the suspect then the mother! She found out by town gossip. Jesus wept. They need better training in dealing with ppl which is their whole job!

These were senior officer not young, if they don’t have or show compaction now it’s never going to happen. I’ve never seen anything so cold, especially towards a mother who’d just lost her child in a tragic circumstances.

They're the po po 😂😂😂 they have no emotions, it's pretty on brand for them unfortunately

I partially agree with you. BUT, she is a mother also that is facing losing her child, just in a different way. Whether he gets a life sentence w/o parole, or receives a death sentence, it's unlikely that she will see her son again. Normally, a death sentence in Texas is a short time to live!

​​@@mandy244Matthews mother knew her son was abusive and aggressive and could have should have gotten him help. Livieys mother didn't have an opportunity to even ask are you really gonna take my daughter from me? She is showing selfishness and self-centeredness. She even tried to tarnish livieys mothers character.

@@anisamargueritepalmer2132 yes, with mothers like that she is probably the reason why he is so violent. Always making excuses for his sons behaviours

​@@mandy244PLEASE don't excuse it! 🥺 I survived 17 YEARS of captive domestic violence in extreme isolation. His Mom knew EVERYTHING. She spoiled & enabled her two boys until they did NOTHING for themselves. She's in her 80s and STILL handing over her SS payments. I was beyond generous despite my circumstances and stood as strong as I possibly could under the circumstances, being suppressed in EVERY WAY beneath the patriarchal rule of apostolic christianity. I sacrificed and sacrificed, she SAW IT! And yet, in the end when the damage became TOO GREAT for me to even pretend it was alright, (he put his hands on my child) and I made my 5th escape attempt (most DV victims arent successful until the 7th)she did everything in her power to sabotage me and degrade my good name around town.

@@rei09104she is 100% responsible for her sons sick behavior and issues

Seriously, the jig was up! Thats the thing about small towns... and with social media, people in radio free Siberia probably knew what happened.

Why tell the mother straight away? I mean she wasn’t with the child in the vee-hickle?

Trailer park people.

@@chrishendricks4613...are still people

I believe she was in shock, she had not seen her daughter so that glimmer of hope that Livye was alive was still there, she hoped the police were wrong.

they showed them understanding and compassion so that they could gather evidence from them. Obviously they handled the situation poorly with the mother, but its not like they felt sympathy for these people.

Right ; and had the nerve to let ‘em free for a period of time , just foul all around

@@sunshinekadoeglow2398I can tell you never work in law

They're not some joint entity, they're different people. Well, that one cop at the hospital was human... The ones at the scene were monstruous, stupid pieces of sh*t.

​​​​@@sunshinekadoeglow2398they had to... after a certain amount of time you can't hold them. my guess is it dragged on because Montana was so suspicious. maybe they held some hope for him being innocent and that Montana had done it and framed him, or that he'd driven her there, she'd murdered her and he was covering, and therefore shouldn't be facing such a severe sentence. all that is certainly possible... I mean, I'm still convinced she's lying about something. one thing that's clear is those investigators were good men and really cared about getting it right. they wouldn't have been happy to call it a day if they had some serious doubts.

I think they were waiting for her or the guys she was with to attack them. They were watching them like they were wary of them. That's what it seemed like.

@@krisg71at that point I probably would of, I'd love to hear what a jury would say after she explained why she acted the way she did

Yeah that was my stopping point as well. it was unnecessary to sit there and let that woman be in anguish like that

That's not their job to console cry babies. They solve crimes

Actually it IS their job and they take great care to give loved ones the news with appropriate sensitivity.

My heart goes out to you and all the mom's who had to go thru this loss of losing their baby(ies) Believe me it's hard and also feel helpless when we got the news my brother was murdered and hearing my mom upon given the news. Also to the dad's but for a mom it's deeper cuz they carried us for 9 months. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

So you would possibly contaminate and obstruct the officers while they’re trying to investigate the crime scene? Makes 0 sense to do that and not allow them to do their job! I have no sympathy for those that try to obstruct a CLEAR crime scene!

@@jocolli I wouldn't touch anything, I'm not stupid..but I'm going to find out what's going on. It's one thing to secure a scene.. it's a whole nother level, letting that woman just spin. That's cruel.. it's not like they didn't know that she was deceased.

Too bad men are mentally damaged until they can’t feel anything anymore so they have no idea right from wrong… & they hate women in this region. That’s why they treated Darcie that way.

I can't tell if you're actually serious ​@@jocolli. That woman just lost her child in one of the most horrific ways imaginable, and you're telling me that you would not be there with your child, possibly for the last time. I have no sympathy for those who have no compassion for others like yourself.

yea its sad, but i mean I get it... she looks like shes been on drugs her whole life... And everyone will always judge you by your looks. that is just how most people are. I mean if a crack head started yelling at me I would be stand off-ish as well. tbh... I know this look from my personal friends and their aunts and/or mothers. who have done pills or crack or w/e their whole life. So I know first hand what a druggie looks like.

It isn't

@@1694cgrnt it literally isn't, to get to know a suspects true emotional behavior, they say things like this anyway, to everyone😂. And even still, the women is causing more of a scene, not because she's emotional, but because she wants to know what happened. That's why they didn't say it to her, and had her move to a different location.

Well it was also two different people. The man who said sorry for your loss to the suspect was not the man handling the mother. I’m sure he would have shown more compassion than those who were handling the mother if that’s his character to do so.

@@patrickwalters2605 she is incredibly emotional. Yes, building rapport with suspects is important but they 100% should've said that to the mom. There are hundreds of ways to calm someone down and they used none of them. They antagonized her and treated her poorly as someone who had just lost her daughter. Everyone's reactions to emotions is different. They should've explained the news and asked her to "help" them with medical history, friends and other contacts her daughter had to help her process the news while feeling helpful to get to the bottom of what happened. They handled this horribly.

I was a howling banshee when I got the news of my 18 year old sister had been killed. One the other students carried me out off the classroom after I collapsed. My teacher and close friend stayed with me in the parking lot while my cousin went and got her car.

So sorry for your loss. Our children, unfortunately, like everything, are only lent to us for a limited time. It sucks. I hope you find inner peace and strength. However unnatural and horrible, I'm certain your child would wish for your happiness 😢

Held it together?

I’m sorry for your loss too.

We aren't meant to outlive our children, unfortunately, this is happening more and more often and it's frankly heartbreaking very sorry for your loss
