I have a membership! Newly launched and already posting bonus content just for you - check it out HERE!Angela “Angie” Drake was a vibrant, outgoing 25-year-old licensed nurse from the Madison area, the kind of woman who lit up a room, adored her friends, and loved an easy night out after a hard week of caring for others. On a cold December night in 2005, Angie went out to a local karaoke bar with friends, just like she had countless times before. At the end of the evening, she was last seen leaving with a man she’d met that night. It was the last time anyone who loved her would ever see her alive.When Angie didn’t turn up and didn’t answer her phone, her family and friends knew something was terribly wrong; this wasn’t like her. A search began in the frigid Wisconsin winter, and as investigators retraced her final hours, they kept circling back to one person: the stranger she’d left with. But proving what really happened in the hours after Angie disappeared would take everything they had.In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Angie Drake case: the warm, caring woman she was, the ordinary night out that turned into a nightmare, and the investigation that followed her final steps to the truth.🚧 Don't forget to check out my other True Crime Show: DARKLIVITY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔎 COME FIND ME: Personal IG https://www.instagram.com/kimbyrleigha/🚧 True Crime IG: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimewithkimbyr🔗 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KimbyrleighaYouTube/📥 Sponsorship Inquiries: [email protected]

The Rebekah Gay's case is one of the most chilling Halloween true crime stories to come out of Michigan. Rebekah “Becky” Gay was a devoted 24-year-old single mom living in a quiet trailer park in Mt. Pleasant; a warm, reliable young woman who had decorated her home with scarecrows and pumpkins and could not wait to take her three-year-old son, Conway, trick-or-treating for the very first time. His little costume was ready. The plans were set. It would be a perfect Halloween.But on the morning of October 31, 2012, Rebekah didn’t show up for work, something her coworkers knew she would never do without calling. Her car was still at home. And both Rebekah and little Conway were gone. What investigators uncovered over the next hours would turn a small Michigan community’s Halloween into a real-life nightmare. It was a crime so cold, and committed by someone so unexpected, that it still haunts everyone who knows the story. Because the person responsible didn’t flee into the night. He stayed calm. He covered his tracks. And he did something with that little boy that no one will ever forget.Who did this to Rebekah Gay? And how could someone do what they did and simply walk away as if nothing had happened? In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Rebekah Gay case: the loving mother she was, the Halloween that shattered her family, and the chilling calm of a killer hiding in plain sight.🔎 COME FIND ME:Snapchat 👻 https://www.snapchat.com/add/kimbyrleighaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kimbyrleighaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimbyrleigha/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KimbyrleighaFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KimbyrleighaYouTube/📥 Sponsorship Inquiries: [email protected]🚨 This video is for educational purposes & documentary purposes ONLY.

Congrats to this year's Halloween Series Naming Contest winner. Watch the intro to see who it is!! On Halloween morning in 2019, 26-year-old Kristen Trickle was supposed to get up and go to work. Her alarm was set, and Halloween candy was waiting in the kitchen for trick-or-treaters. Instead, her husband, Colby Trickle, called 911 in Hays, Kansas, and said she had shot herself.The coroner made his ruling, but Kristen’s family didn’t believe it, and neither did the detective who walked into that house. Kristen's tragic death turned into a years-long fight to prove what really happened, one that ended with the first psychological autopsy ever used in a Kansas criminal case.This is Kristen’s story: who she was, the life she was building, and the investigation that refused to let her death be written off.🔎 COME FIND ME:Snapchat 👻 https://www.snapchat.com/add/kimbyrleighaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kimbyrleighaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimbyrleigha/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KimbyrleighaFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KimbyrleighaYouTube/📥 Sponsorship Inquiries: [email protected]🚨 This video is for educational purposes & documentary purposes ONLY all info is gathered ONLINE from multiple sources and though each case is thoroughly researched not all info is always 100% valid.

For more than thirty years, headlines have focused on Christa Pike. Her childhood, her appeals, her execution. But this story was never supposed to be about her! That's what she always wanted - ALL the attention, and she's STILL getting it. Colleen Slemmer is the real victim here. In January 1995, Colleen was 19 and 400 miles from home, a quiet, kind girl from Orange Park, Florida, chasing a computer certificate at the Knoxville Job Corps Center in Tennessee. She studied every night. She was there to succeed. And on a cold, wet Thursday night, she walked out of her dorm with three classmates… and never signed back in.This is the whole, real story of Colleen: who she was, what happened behind that old steam plant, the warnings nobody took seriously, and the mother who has spent three decades fighting for her daughter, piece by piece. Plus, where things stand right now, after Tennessee’s failed execution attempt made national headlines.Her name was Colleen Slemmer. Let’s make sure people remember it.🚧 Don't forget to check out my other True Crime Show: DARKLIVITY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔎 COME FIND ME: Personal IG https://www.instagram.com/kimbyrleigha/🚧 True Crime IG: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimewithkimbyr🔗 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KimbyrleighaYouTube/📥 Sponsorship Inquiries: [email protected]:00 A Horrifying Discovery7:30 Remembering Colleen Slemmer15:03 How Colleen Got To Job Corps26:35 The Bullying Begins29:36 The Last Night Of Colleen's Life31:58 How Colleen's Body Was Found38:10 The First Glimpse of Christa's EVIL41:52 How Colleen Was Identified45:05 Christa Pike's Admissions49:54 Who is Christa Pike?59:54 What Colleen Did To Christa1:06:30 Christa's Plan To Kill Colleen1:08:54 The Signs Of Christa's Evil Were There1:12:26 Christa's Confession & Autopsy Findings1:29:44 Debunking Christa's Claims1:37:00 The Effect of Colleen's Killing1:41:48 Christa Pike's Trial1:54:37 Christa Pike's Death Sentence2:03:24 How The Death Penalty Works2:09:33 All About Lethal Injection2:15:49 Colleen's Remains Held Hostage2:18:38 Christa's Attempt To Escape Prison2:21:26 Christa's Continued Fight Not To Die2:24:12 Christa's Execution Date Finally Set2:26:56 Christa's Lawyer's Try To Stop Execution2:39:58 Christa Pike's Botched Execution2:51:12 Why Didn't Christa Die?2:59:40 Christa Pike Survives Lethal Injection3:01:34 Can Christa Pike Face a Second Execution?3:05:25 Remember The Real Victim Colleen Slemmer🚨 This video is for educational purposes & documentary purposes ONLY.

This video is for informational and commentary purposes based on public reporting and police statements. All suspects are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.18-year-old college freshman Karoline Heintz was found dead in the back of her own Jeep in Pennsylvania just days into her first semester at PennWest University. In this true crime video, I break down the case, what police bodycam footage showed when officers found her Jeep in a parking lot, how her dad tracking her AirTag led police to her, and why demons got brought up in an interview. We also look at the disturbing allegations against a mother in the alleged cover-up, from washing clothes to hiding evidence, and what the psychology and legal system tell us about this case. This is still unfolding in PA, and I’ll follow updates as it heads toward court. Follow for weekly deep dives into the behavior and psychology behind true crime cases

80’s Spotify Playlist: https://spotify.link/yjmsrGPe8Db🕯️ THIS IS A NEW SERIES! It's the debut of my Death Through The Decades series. This episode features a Halloween murder at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in the 1980s. The videos in this series go in depth about what life was like in that decade. What policing was like in the 1980s, technology (or lack thereof), and what the culture was like. I'll be diving into the 80's, 90's, and the 2000's and I've lived through all three, so I've been there! I really hope you appreciate the nostalgia and connect even more with the people who have lost their lives and are frozen in time. In October 1984, Robin Hoynes was a KFC manager in Southern California when she crossed paths with a monster. 🔎 COME FIND ME: Personal IG https://www.instagram.com/kimbyrleigha/🚧 True Crime IG: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimewithkimbyr🔗 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KimbyrleighaYouTube/📥 Sponsorship Inquiries: [email protected]🚨 This video is for educational purposes & documentary purposes ONLY.

My Halloween Series has begun! The names of these series are chosen by the community every year & I reveal a special intro for each one. This one I the Festival of Fears!Our second case is The Taylor Van Diest case out of Canada. On Halloween night in 2011, 18-year-old Taylor Van Diest left her home in the small, close-knit town of Armstrong, British Columbia, dressed as a zombie and buzzing with excitement, and she was meeting up with friends for one last Halloween before they all grew up. It was a short, familiar walk she'd made countless times. She never arrived.As Taylor made her way through the dark, her phone lit up with texts between her and a friend; they were ordinary, happy messages about the night ahead. And then, one message changed everything. Taylor wrote that she thought she was "being creeped" - meaning that someone was following her in the dark. It would be the last anyone ever heard from her. In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Taylor Van Diest case: the vibrant young woman she was, the chilling final messages she sent, and the relentless investigation that refused to let her killer stay hidden.🚧 Don't forget to check out my other True Crime Show: DARKLIVITY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔎 COME FIND ME: Personal IG https://www.instagram.com/kimbyrleigha/🚧 True Crime IG: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimewithkimbyr🔗 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KimbyrleighaYouTube/📥 Sponsorship Inquiries: [email protected]🚨 This video is for educational purposes & documentary purposes ONLY.

Stephanie headed to her own place just minutes away. And then… nothing.When her car and phone were found at the house the next morning, but Stephanie was nowhere to be seen, her family knew immediately that something was horribly wrong, she would never leave without her phone, and never go silent on the people she loved. What followed was an agonizing search that would grip all of New Jersey, as her devoted parents refused to stop until they found her.In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Stephanie Parze case: the bright young woman she was, the chilling night she vanished, and a father's relentless fight to bring his daughter home.🚧 Don't forget to check out my other True Crime Show: DARKLIVITY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠🔎 COME FIND ME: Personal IG https://www.instagram.com/kimbyrleigha/🚧 True Crime IG: https://www.instagram.com/truecrimewithkimbyr🔗 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KimbyrleighaYouTube/📥 Sponsorship Inquiries: [email protected]🚨 This video is for educational purposes & documentary purposes ONLY.
