#WestVirginia #Confession #ColdCase
2 women???
Very happy they fixed this situation, but what do they expect you to think they just showed up on his deathbed to “get him to confess” this? It was a confession. Don’t take credit for it Mr Police-man
Devil
Cops investigating:
“Seems like a nice guy, said he didn’t do it”
“So your wife and stepdaughter packed up and left without taking any suitcases, clothes or possessions? Typical!
Well, rest assured, Sir, we wont bother you again”
This reporter is speaking in slow motion 🫠
1:08 “He detailed for us, exactly how he murdered both women”…a ten year old girl is NOT a woman, she’s a little girl.
SO SAD TO FACE THE LORD AS A MURDERER. I HOPE HE REPENTED AND GOT FORGIVENESS FROM THE LORD.
GOD IS SO SO SO SO GOOD!GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF US AND THIS HORRIBLE MANS SOUL AMEN!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Wv at its finest. They never investigate crap. So glade i left. Trust me theres alot of unsolved murders down there
Dont know why he would tell probably any money for inheritance for the family will probably be taken away
U cant take credit such bad investigation in yhis murder case
Awful 😢
Arrogance gets these particular cops nowhere! How pathetic & shameful!
Ongoing, really, it never started! God sees everything and knows everything!
R.l.P. to the mom and little girl! So sorry for the male who had to wait & hear this horrible news! Glad he could though!
Eternal pain
I have so many questions!
Cops taking credit for a deathbed confession! Want to act like they were Sherlock Holmes was on the case. SMH
Some MISTAKES were definitely made!!!
THANK God the family has answers to what happened!
So they never looked around the home ?
Wouldnt that be the 1st place to look for clues wth
A cold case…..they didn’t check the yard? That’s classic movie stuff. What’s wrong with that detective
I want to think that man forgiving the FBI time to work the case I am sorry it took that long but I promised if the FBI agent he would get the answers and everyone else I was working a lot of cases in Martinsburg West Virginia I have to think West Virginia State Police West Virginia county Police department and every other law enforcement agency in West Virginia thank you
I will always listen to everyone and every person’s family when I am working FBI cases and CIA and every other branch of government US Marshals cases straight even detective cases for the police department I will always listen to you all every family and every victims family it doesn’t matter if I’m working military cases or whatever else branch of government even foreign affairs cases I will always listen to everyone and I will always promise you all that I will try my best to get you all the answers and in the right order
💔
Kind of disgusting of the cops to regurgitate his ‘excuse’ as if it had any validity.
About as 1/8th assed job as the first one they severely bungled.
I’m glad they gave him the hairpin 😢
I live right next to Montgomery general hospital. It’s in Olney Maryland, not WV
Montgomery General is in Montgomery WV. I’m not sure what hospital he actually confessed at it was either or.
@@spookshow6999 ah, I see
I was born in July 2000, just a month before these two went missing. Absolutely broke my heart😢
My condolences 💐 Rip 🪦 mother daughter 💔❤️🩹🙏🙌🏻
I don’t consider a confession to be a “solved” crime…
I know right?!!
These people are evil …..stay strapped
Pathetic POS and more pathetic police effort.
“We got him to confess” … Yeah right.
“Let’s call that ongoing investigation” what a dunce
Not even a big yard! What the heck? Disappointed in investigators in 2000!! They should feel shame.
And now the real prison sentence begins.
The police had to of known it was Webb. Within that specific dynamic, the Stepfather, mother (wife) and a child or children… and then all of the sudden everyone but the Stepfather is either missing or dead. Its going to be Stepfather nearly every time
Wowwwwwww there was a tarot reader who talked about this!!!💯
Usual suspects
Man cops are so useless sometimes
If There Were No Men On God’s Green Earth….
There Would Be ABSOLUTELY Nothing Heines To Hear About..
Too Bad
Pretty sure that he was molesting the little girl and she told her mom. The mom confronted the piece of sh+t and he shot them.
This murderer must have had connections and friends in high places to be allowed to live out his life and be glossed over by “law enforcement”. Money can buy anything.
The missing money story is a lie
What a disgrace on the the WV police. What an embarrassment. They need investigated immediately.
Fresh grave??? Did they not even visit the tiny property.
“they were able to get him to confess” how noble for the very police department that was to negligent to close the case to take credit for the confession
The WV police hate women. They were caught brutalizing women. I’m livid over this! Allison Smiths husbannd is a suspect! You ler him move her car she disappeared in to his property!!!!
He won’t escape God.
Bad police work there.
Can’t lie , you steal a large amount of money from me I’ll do the same thing ‘ & regardless of the facts he was smart for keeping it to himself to stay out for long as he did
He was finally indicted and arrested Oct. 2023. He was being held at Mt Olive until he had a “a medical episode”. I don’t remember this case because we had just moved to VA/TN area
I thought OJ was gonna confess on his deathbed
💐💐
I hope this monster is in a dark place in his afterlife. One thing. The officer described them as “two women”. A ten year old is not a woman.
Justice is never late no matter how long it takes. Glad the father has closure.🙏🏼 That man will stand before God for his deeds.
What about the mother? Did he not care about the mother being missing too? And women quit living with men when you have children.
Great police work! Case is closed now…….
Thank god this man got some peace and that hairpin of his daughter.❤
“We got him to confess.” lol yeah, sure you did
I watched the video of the police report and this could have been solved back then
Both the father and the killer look quite elderly today to have been the father of a 10 year old in 2000. They must’ve been middle aged already when the little girl was born
LW: coward!
A coward!!!!!
Ongoing investigation? Going where. Case solved.
All the cops in the video are probably no older than the daughter would be today. Bring back the cops from the initial investigation and ask them how they messed up this bad
What a sad sad story. At least the dad finally has his beautiful daughter. RIP both mother and daughter. You can now rest in heaven.
Wow!! That is so sad. God bless the father and his family. Rest in peace to the two women who were taken before their time.
*FLABBERGASTED* 🤦
They’re all bozos, start to finish. Holy mother of god. Like, what in the world.
Got him to confess? Are police trying to take credit for his deathbed confession ?
2:25 how is the initial investigation “ongoing” if the case is 24 years old? Crooked detective
“Some mistakes”?
Jeeze.
At least there’s closure now, but dang.
They should have done everything to keep him alive and stimulate every pain receptor possible until his last breath. He got to live the rest of his life a free man and no justice was ever served for those poor souls. This is disgusting.
So sad for the families of the missing mom and daughter.
Thank God this father can rest.
🙏🏻❤
An according to CHRISTANS,
Sence he repented, HES GOING TO HEAVAN!!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!
Bro shut up and actually study the Bible before regurgitating nonsense 🤦🏽♂️
Typical WV Police garbage af at their job
😢 He should’ve BEEN suspect number one since he was actively staying with them how HOW was he overlooked?
And ‘ONLY’ to lie on his death bed ABOUT why he killed them. BS. ‘Mom steal something and you killed both of them?’ Sorry , but THAT sorry doesn’t add up
This entire police department beeds an overhaul. 24 years, and the suspect is right under your nose.
Thats so sad!..At least the father fot some closure about hid daughter.. RIP lady’s…
White people get off with everything smh
3:06 poor guy just wanted a handshake and got publicly shunned
“Mistakes were made” doesn’t sit right. 🥴
What do you mean both women one was a 10 year child. 😮
Failure….major failure
Coward
Typical white male privilege. White male Cops let him of on purpose.
Sometimes they get away with it.
No homelessness in west virginia .
Was the mother dating him? Why were they living there? Questions this video did NOT answer.
Now,what mistakes? Let’s get into that law enforcement! Let’s address those mistakes early on…. Notice how that got pushed to the side. I’d like to know that gentleman’s name and do a follow up on what exactly their mistakes were!
Wow
I’m happy you have justice sir.
Don’t mess with people’s money! Lol😂
Family and loved ones are always the first suspects . You are more likely to be murdered by someone you know than by a stranger . They usually are the first suspects and need to be ruled out or cleared first before considering other options .
First off I’m not condoning with that man did to that lady and little girl that is freaking horrible and all aspects of anything but what I’m trying to find them here is the age of that man regardless if it was 24 years ago looks like he could have been her grandfather to me it looks like that woman was nothing but a money chaser and she got caught up in and ended up paying the piper along with her daughter Just goes to show you if that is the case and you’re doing negligent stuff like that and the vicinity of your so-called love daughter you’re truly a piece of kaka
Good job, news people. Now get back to the Epstein list. Buncha slackers.
hm
Sounds to me like they didn’t do much of an investigation!!! Different story if it was the cops wife & daughter!!!
You would think the police would have spotted the shallow grave in an initial investigation of the man’s property…
