Am I the only one who thinks Kimbyr looks much like a young version of Mortica Adams? The Original Mortica. And I really hope you take this as a compliment because both are gorgeous women.

Love that "Can't stop, Won't stop" !! If not for the people in this world who won't stop, won't give up no matter what, nothing worthwhile would ever get done. ❤
@cathyprosser1050
Now this is a case where law enforcement falls so woefully short that it should be criminal 😮! Really, really sad to think that had Lindsay NOT taken an interest in this case, it would likely still not be solved. Thanks for telling Egypt's story. It was a story worth telling ❤
@ChristinaMarilynCook
What surprises me is that there is no mention of forensics? Didn’t they check for fingerprints, etc.,?
@feveneddy
In 2011, we had our pre-wedding party and I got completely completely wasted. After that, I can no longer drink alcohol. Every time I cry I end up getting an allergic action especially wine. I do miss it. 😢
@amberrosehelmy
My husband is a cop and this is NOT how cases are handled. Breaks my heart. This family deserved better.
@ABANDONEDBUFFALONY
Wow. I should be a detective. I figured from the beginning that she was target because of the neighbors. My thinking was that it was someone who had to know she was alone(in that duplex) that night…
@traciemarsh1611
i cannot get over how beautiful this young lady was
@kristiheath9913
I had a blind cocker spaniel that my friend found wondering up the middle of the road. She brought him to me. We found out the owners were looking for him. They came and got him , but brought him back a couple of days later. A week or so went by. We were out side and the people I got him from wanted to see him and pet him. Once her heard their voice and smelled their smell he went ballistic growling and snapped at them. I thought he might have been abused and that was just confirmation. Dogs are smart. He knew he was safe and loved with me.

What a beautiful family!
@benm1296
If you're ever in Southeast Michigan, there's a beer garden in my hometown of Dexter (first town just north of Ann Arbor) called the Beer Grotto. Most of the workers were friends of Egypt, and they have a special drink named for her that gives any funds from the drink to her family.
@nicolawalker6402
From the beginning of the video, I thought it would be to do with the weed. It’s so obvious and I can’t wrap my head around why the police never figured it out. Maybe they were scared that they would get in trouble if she had saw them. Maybe I’ve watched far too much true crime lol
@mindajane
Their obsession with Kenny kept them from solving this case. It makes you wonder if someone in that police department didn't have some kind of ax to grind with Kenny.
@robinkolber777
This don't make sense, marijuana is legal in Michigan so why didn't they just go to a dispensary.
@TracyMojjis
The miscarriage of justice is not even close to what happened here!!! I am obsessed with true crime and u are now my go to for true crime ur passion and story telling abilities are amazing and captivating!

@just_jo5850
I'm from. Michigan and so many people that I know have moved to Florida! The 2 location that I always hear cases from!!! Must be the lack of 🌞
@Jeronda-se6im
I knew it 😢
@Jeronda-se6im
Also is Steve a person that assist the police or FBI
@Jeronda-se6im
I think it was the family across from them because even if he's drug business was "legal" there has been murders that was done when someone tries to rob the people that was cultivating and selling marijuana.
@dawngrimes7361
Her voice is absolutely amazing, I'm so sorry this happened to her but I would love to hear more of music, I'll look her up…..oh that song is beautiful for her ❤️ she's beautiful inside and out, too bad she's gone too 😢 💔 soon. The victim always get's attacked unfortunately 😢

@minuteman8017
On the subject of the police. Never underestimate the power of laziness.
@minuteman8017
On your comment about protective services into your home. I own my home, It took me a long time to pay it off,I had a brutal job. I worked 7 days a week Monday through Friday 12 hours at the minimum and 8 hours on Saturday and Sunday because I was so exhausted. It’s not me in the bank. I don’t want anybody in my home. I felt differently when I owed money on my house but when I paid it off it changed for me.
@cindyconnelly-koziol8815
get rid of those nails tacky
@lesliekupchanko5001
And the personal pictures.
Of the jkmes.
Their roads drivesways….Interiors etc.
So good.
@bouncyshak
Wow what an unprofessional investigation, putting others at risk for 3 years because of their laziness and incompetence. On a side note, I hope Kenny has learned his lesson not to be so aggressive and emotionally abusive to partners. There's a reason why so many people thought he was capable of harming Egypt, since he had hurt her in other ways before. Sleeping with her "friends" was so vile.
@alenamurray7488
Finally getting to the neighbors! I was kinda shocked the police never looked into a connection withthe neighbors. They sell drugs and even if it was legal, there is always a possibility that Egypt was a victim of someone wanting drugs but not being able to there them because the neighbors are gone.
@susanlyon1288
This one broke my heart. Her face and that smile. It’s easy to see her warmth and love for others. The way the information was presented was so respectful.❤
@bluanemoon
You’re my favorite and I’ve binged everything you do and the other channel and I adore you but / this was a hard one to watch. I don’t know if it’s the frustration about the family.. or the case or what but this was so painful to watch… but I did it because I love you.
@lisalawyer-ym3ix
Omg! People don’t move to that town! If anything happens to you your screwed!!
@emilyhutto6066
Egypt was so so so beautiful
@socaldeb

@angrywaiterispitonyourfood9946

@andreaolvera9869
I love the way you express the stories of these beautiful people and I can hear and see how hurt you get cause I shed a tear listening to you express their real life stories
@andreaolvera9869
😢
@kloiemartin-peterson5459
It’s so weird to hear about cases happening in small places that you know about. I lived in Belleville for a little over a year and loved it there. Most people don’t know where it is.
@christylamacchia9818
I made a mistake 😭 I looked up her singing when you played a song and accidentally saw the killer. This is not fair. This beautiful woman should be here. She would be a star!
@DustSoilStudio
I understand Tina’s reservations about Kenny being guilty. But the way that she was loving on him so hard as if her daughter was cool with him??? Weird. Weird af. And extremely inappropriate IMO.
@holeika
Did a cop do it? It sounds like they are protecting one if their own…i cant see a whole station having tunnel vision on Kenny
@couchdetectivesunite2740
First of all under the circumstances try and rest easy to this sweet spirit!!! your story telling abilities… girl, yoi are bomb okay. I ran into this story on court tv and found you! Now im off to binge!
@aaronhubbard1318
I can tell how he was feeling he wants justice for his daughter
@niaselah3348
I've only come across your channel a couple of days ago but I've been hooked since watching one after the other
I love the way you tell these stories especially how you focus on the victims and in ways bring them back to life so we can get to know them instead of just what was done to them
The way you do these stories reminds me of In cold blood by Truman Capote. By the time the story reaches the true crime aspect you feel you know and love the victims which is vital to this content so it's not presented and consumed as entertainment
Great job and thank you 🤗
@rebamusgrovewatters8711
She can contact the state police on her own we had case here where guys mom had to keep pushing till she got attention to his case.
