mandy stavik: a thanksgiving cold case solved after 30 years 

That poor mother having two of her children brutally murdered 😢

I'm glad his own family had the morals and values to not lie for that SOB.

Wow, the outcome of this was so satisfying. The lady who got the cup with his DNA on it, his wife, & his family did the right thing. God bless all of them.

She would have been a wonderful person in their community or wherever she would have gone. My heart aches. And her poor dog. Losers and their sexual problems.

HOLD ON only 27 years there is so much wrong with our justice system. He's been free for longer and he tried to get his family to lie about it smh he deserves life.

Oh my god that poor family. That really broke my heart.. they had to go through that terrible situation not once but TWICE.

I will never understand how someone feels they have the right to take another’s life..

After all those years he thought he would never be caught. The lady that got the DNA sample is a hero. She wouldn't give up. God bless her.

Thank you for bringing these cases to light. Good to hear that justice was finally served in this case.

Such a beautiful young woman.

This is pretty scary, this man roamed basically in our neighborhood where my children grew up in whatcom county. May this poor mother find peace in her heart. Two children?

I wonder how people live with themselves knowing they murdered someone.

Bass shows how depraved predators are, regardless of age. I'm so glad the employer showed such courage to collect evidence. I'm even happier to know his own family showed strong morals/ethics not to lie or cover for him. But the poor mother, to lose two children to murder!

Cannot hold my tear...when you begin all your videos with Stories of how beautiful they were how they were full of life....how they were on their peak of their achievements...and took away

I watched this video when it was first released. Mandy’s story really impacted me. As a true crime junkie, I’ve heard some gruesome stuff, but Mandy and what she went through has always stuck in my mind. I come back to watch this vid often. She had so much life left to live, so much to offer the world and was obviously very loved. I feel so much sadness for what her mum had to deal with in her life. Losing two of her children in such an awful way.

27 years? Why did the beast not get incarcerated for rest of his days?

Very well-done summary of this case. Thank you for posting this.

It's absolutely amazing how everything works out - that finally a case like this can be solved. May Mandy RIP 👼

Sad story with a oddly fulfilling ending. I must also note that as heavy casefiles read the story, the details, you could hear the emotion in her voice, that slight cracking that indicates she too was deeply affected by the story details. Thank you for doing this, thank you for sharing this, I’m guessing each story must take or drain a little life out of you. I can only hope you are blessed in so many other ways, please know that your efforts are appreciated.

This shit always happens to the most lovely, talented young people 😟

Thanks for doing this story. I love in the NW, and remember this case was on every local news station a lot. On the news when it got solved, All through the trial. You covered it well, with couple details I didn't know. Washington has cleared several cold cases.

This happened in my home town and was a huge thing when it happened because it was so out of the norm. She was also my camp counselor at the YMCA when I was young.

RIP beautiful Mandy 💜🙏 Such a talented young woman So very sad I know she's a angel in heaven

A very touching story. I will tell you I never lost a child and can’t speak from that platform, however my 9 year old daughter vanished while we took different routes back to the start of a three mile path around a public hammock in Palatka Florida. She had just met three other little girls and wanted to ride their bikes back together. My daughter didn’t show up and I went absolutely crazy running around that park, in and out and around every building I could find. I was insane with fear and sick to my stomach as I screamed at everyone I saw to look for her. Long story short, my daughter finally appeared safe and sound. The girls took a very small trail back that one of the little girls knew about but were not supposed to take that trail. When I saw my daughter tears filled my face, I didn’t know if to hug her or shake the daylights out of her. I must have cried and shook for at least another 30 minutes and could not form a sentence I just kept saying why and wondered if I would recover. That incident took years off of my life and has caused horrible nightmares for over 20 years. We don’t talk about that time as fear grips my heart the instant I start to think about it now some 30 years later. My heart goes out to this family and other families around the world that has had to go through not getting their child back. GOD be with you, may he bless and console these people as only HE can. I’m so happy they finally captured this pile of sick flesh that did this to this girl and her family. One thing is for sure he will pay a terrible price for eternity because I doubt he’ll never find the Lord Jesus Christ. I’ll leave it there.🙏

In so many cases it's the husband, friend, neighbour.... Frightening.

Excellent channel with non-irritating narrator and well-written too.

can't imagine how terrifying the girls felt when that happened. RIP with love.

I’m so grateful that lady got the DNA evidence, & that Mandy’s mother at least got to see justice for one of her murdered babies. What she must have gone through not just losing one child.. but two? Doesn’t even bear thinking about. What a waste of a beautiful young life, all because some fucking loser who knew a girl like Mandy would never date a creep like him thought he had the right to take advantage of her & kill her in broad daylight. He had no remorse, he didn’t give a shit about anyone else but himself & getting caught. I’m disgusted he only got 27 years.. lock him up & throw away the Key! Happy to hear his family have disowned him; he’s evidently a waste of oxygen.

Wow! Thank god her mother was still alive to know they solved the case!

To lose two children to murder is just awful! Poor Mum. He should of had the death sentence

What breaks your heart is how talented she was pretty. With the drive she had she could have been anything and someone just decides to extinguish it. This is where people don't understand humans cannot govern themselves without law and somebody to back of the law. This one really affected my brother as she looked like his college sweetheart who'd been overseas in an immersion program and died there during a robbery gone bad. She was supposed to be back within the month they were planning on getting more serious. And it only been about a year he always loved her vivacious personality. When he saw the talent this girl had and her personality description in the paper it broke his heart because he thought what a lovely person to have been wrecked by someone who didn't care about who she was. I think it was because he could see her unlike most people as a real person and not just somebody written up in the paper as she reminded him so much of Jenny. Every once in awhile he would say you know they never have find out who did that really to the girl over there and we would discuss what we thought might have happened we knew it was someone in the local area simply because the dog was afraid. We figured the dog knew the person. Think my brother just took it too personal. It was so hard 3 years later he would be kidnapped and murdered by somebody who thought he had money but if they'd really been thinking the manager of the halfway house for the Salvation Army doesn't make a lot of money but they do need a college degree in social work. His body was never found. No they could not prosecute, though they found my brothers wallet his ID and the gentleman was filmed that night trying to use my brothers bank cards at the ATM. They also had my brothers checkbook which of course lead to them. For my family being from Washington we were worried did we have another Bundy? This was a beautiful girl she's out jogging with the family dog and she suddenly shows up missing and then she's dead. We were there the weekend Bundy kidnapped that girl from the lake. Our cousin was an exact copy of the girl he kidnapped. She was at that Lake I can tell you we were all locked down that summer including my cousin who was old enough to go out whenever she wanted but her parents were terrified. She fit his exact profile outgoing brunette sparkling just exactly what he would have liked. When this young woman came up missing our whole family was really freaked out did we have someone home on college break back in the state doing something? You never forget when you live in an area that had a serial killer that feeling of uneasiness and fear. It is nice to know this man can't hurt anyone else again. He might have held it in there's no guarantee. Usually they feel I got the one I wanted but it didn't stop the need but there's too much publicity. That's when they start killing the prostitutes because no matter how much Society likes to say oh we've changed We Care they really don't. Look how long the Green River Killer got away with his murders and they have not found all of them. Or the guy up in Alaska they just accidentally found a few and then that girl got away and that's when they were really able to catch him. There are still Killers out there doing the same thing all the time because they know it's easier to do the marginalized citizens then the ones that people will look at. I wouldn't be surprised this guy didn't do more than one problem is tying him to it or even finding it.

Sometimes it doesn't matter if it's legal or not. Families need answers.

Apr. 2, 2022. Maria Stavik's passing on Thursday, March 24, 2022 has been publicly announced by Brookside Funeral Home & Crematory - Yakima in Moxee, WA. May she be reunited with her son and daughter. Rest in peace.

Why would people give thumbs down on a video about a cold case solved and her family finally getting closure? I didn't see any thing wrong in this or any of these cold case videos to render it as being bad. Maybe perhaps these people have killed some one and don't like to see how even after so many years a case can get solved or they new the murderer in these videos and just like all of them have no remorse and are cold hearted as well.

I'm so relieved that Mandy's Mum found out the truth before she passes away. And I'm also glad that the guy is now behind bars & unable to harm anyone else. I'm proud of the woman who wouldn't give up on getting his DNA to the police! She got justice for Mandy & her family! She deserves an award! She did the job of the police when they gave up!

I like to soft and clear narration.

All the ppl who held info until he was caught should be charged. Wtf is wrong with ppl.

This is why I “pack” when I go for a run nowadays. This case breaks my heart.

I follow many similar cases. This one just broke my heart.

All stories like this brake my heart she was so young and beautiful who deserved to live a full life. Instead pure evil and a demon took that life from her it’s truly heart braking and disgusting how someone can take away someone else’s life. I hope who did this rots in prison and hell for the rest of there life.

Anyone who refuses to cooperate, is usually suspect. He was lying, and got caught. That poor girl would be nearly 50 years old. He didn't have the right to take her life. I'm glad there's no statuet of limitations on murder. Now he's locked away for the rest of his life. Justice served!

Thank the Lord that Mandy’s family finally achieved closure. Great work by law enforcement, and three cheers to the perpetrator’s family for not providing alibis. The scholarship a wonderful memorial.

Why didn't the FBI get DNA from a family member? Also, they could have started following him and they would have known his routine by heart. Sounds lazy on the FBI's part

The man was a dangerous narcissist. Why did he turn out like that, and his brother didn't? Also, why wasn't the German Shephard able to protect Mandy?

It wasn't just a famous case in England, it was the first case DNA was used. Professor Jeffries of Leicester University created the sequence process and Leicestershire Police tested every male in the area. The guilty person asked a friend to provide a sample, he didn't.

Wow u real , how horrible her brother was murdered too ,... poor mother what heartbreaking reality

Poor girl. Poor family. First her brother, then her. And her poor doggie was clearly traumatised. I loathe people who harm animals too. Glad this was finally solved. Pity her brother’s killer is still out there. RIP Mandy and her brother.

Such a sweet girl. May she rest in peace.

Blind Justice In America, SNAFU. If It Lives The 27 Years It Was Sentenced To, Who's Gonna Pay For It, Huh!?! You & Me. Think About It. That Poor Girl & Her Family Deserve Better.

HD + Subtitles = Entertainment. Thanks for sharing video!

I find it puzzling why investigators were requesting his truck delivery route from the company to chase him when they could simply have followed him after he arrived at the warehouse every morning?

HELL IS GONNA BE SO FULL DONT KNOW WHERE THE LORD IS GONNA PUT EM ALL SO MANY ARE GONNA END UP THERE

It's astonishing that the investigators knew it was this guy and let it go for years.

The 27 years in jail is not enough on how he murdered Mandy and he spent most of his time freely roaming around while the family of Mandy's is looking for justice. It's been a decades since he is free from everything and not worrying for what he had done to Mandy.

Thanks to that investigator...Nice Job!!

Moved and married 2 months after he killed her. Then tried to blame his deceased father. That tells you everything you need to know about this pos. I can't help but wonder if there were any other victims in the 30 years he was free.

The lady that collected that evidence is my hero. No money given to her, she did it anyways. Good for her. I would love to buy her a drink 🥃

Putting his mom in the MIDDLE, what a COWARD, Trying to involve all these innocent people, Glad his family did the right thing!!

I lost my daughter to a drunk driver when she was 10 I can’t imagine having to live through losing 2 of my children I wouldn’t survive it

Two siblings lost in murder?!!! How utterly heartbreaking story.

Wow! Thank god her mother was still alive to know they solved the case!

Ever notice how someone so wonderful is destroyed by someone so ugly.

This story bothers me. The fact that it was so close to home, that the killer was essentially a stalker, and that he so ruthlessly tried to cover it up nearly 30 years after the fact is heartbreaking. That man was willing to frame his deceased father and his brother for his act of callousness. I hope he never sees the light of day again.

My favorite type of video is a solved case

The guy had no remorse at all. What a waste of a life. She was so smart, talented and beautiful. Sad story. Hope her mother can finally find some peace.

I remember when this girl went missing but I'd lost track of the story. I was unaware that her body had been recovered so I thought she was still missing. I live in the next county. All I knew about her was that she was. a pretty blond girl. I knew nothing about all of her accomplishments. I'm amazed to learn how talented she was. She was truly amazing. I was also unaware that someone had finally been caught and sent to prison for this. I'm glad I found this video and finally have the missing pieces of the puzzle. It's always disturbed me that this girl had just vanished into thin air. Seems so clear now that young men living on that road should have been the first suspects. I've done a little research and I've learned that she's buried in a little Catholic cemetery near her family home. I'm going to go find her grave and pay my respects. Thank you for posting this video.

So glad they nailed this monster. I can’t imagine the heartbreak of that poor mother - losing two children to murder.

She must have been a wonderful person judging from the amount of people, including the murderers own brother, who went out of their way to see justice was served.

Gotta love that even his own family turned their backs on him.

When I think 30 years ago I think the 70's not 1989. Insane how fast 30 years flew by. Her poor family living with no answers for such a long time. Hope they find some measure of peace now. Losing 2 children to murder seems unbearably unfair.

This guy was the lowest of the low, what a creep!! Sounds like Mandy was an amazing & much loved person!!

I see cases like this where a long time after the crime it turns out to be someone who lived nearby and who you would expect would be questioned by the police. This guy was apparently not questioned by the police at the time when there surely would have been a limited number of suspects in a quiet rural area like this. It would be pretty obvious that the killer was very likely a local person, this guy actually lived on the road she ran down and she passed by his house. Why would they not have spoken to him even if only to find out if he saw something that day and to establish an alibi which is a lot easier to verify a day or 2 instead of 30 years later. What if they had taken the dog with them as they interviewed the limited number of people along that road, would the dog have reacted to the person?

I low-key cried when they said on her mom's 81st birthday she was made aware of an arrest. I'm so happy this creepster got caught finally. He robbed that girl..he deserves what ever he gets.

Kim is a hero! Thank you Ma’am for your efforts to fine justice for this young lady!

I hope they never let him out; it's the talented and bright people that evil-doers usually go after and succeed in killing them. Such a crying shame. Too bad they didn't get him sooner.

wow, Timothy really was a piece fo work, even 25 years later he was pulling every straw to get away...

Sorry but that lady who collected the evidence should've got that $25k reward. She risked her safety and her job. Just saying.

So glad he was caught in the end and her family got some closure. Her poor parents must have been destroyed to lose two children to murder. Very sad.😢🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

R.I.P Mandy. She seemed like a great person.

He should serve life period. He took a life. THEN lied about it.

When the dog returned home you could see how upset he was it's a pity he couldn't talk

Wow! What a horrible person. He not only murdered someone, but aggressively tried to throw his own family members (including his dead father) under the bus for the crime. Special place in hell

This man would have thrown his wife, brother, mother and dead father under the bus?!? What a POS. I hope he"s being looked at for other unsolved cases. 💔 RIP Mandy 💔

That poor family, I'm glad there's closure for Mandy and her family, she was a beautiful young woman. I hope one day, her brothers case is solved too.

His wife was on Evil Lives Here, he was always a virulent misogynist, hated women, and acted weird as hell.

That's sad what happend to her brother as well, Damn who shoots someone 17 times??? People are so heartless. I can only imagine the horror this family has had to endure. At least they may get some sort of light at the end of the tunle since her case was finally solved. 🙏😢. Great video.

Never ceases to amaze me how criminals won't hesitate to take a life, but when it's time to face the gallows, even after 30 yrs, they'll do and say anything to save their own skin. What a coward, I'm glad he's caught. Thanks for sharing, I remember this case, I lived in Wa. in 89'.

This gives me Hope that 1 day my son's murder will be Solved..😢😢

Mandy kinda looked like young Jessica Lange. Beautiful girl.

Always look forward to your posts. Glad they caught this guy. Can't imagine what her parents went through having two murdered children.

That mans family are a bunch of MVPs for refusing to protect him. Good on them...

Timothy seemed so guilty as he was so afraid of his dna being tested. Glad he was caught

I feel so bad for the poor dog. You know she was hurt that her master was taken.

What I don’t understand is why didn’t they get the dna of one of his family members to show a familia dna and then get a court ordered dna sample from him ?

As a young boy the Bass family lived down the road from our farm, Tim’s Dad was a good man. He would have been very disappointed in his son if he was alive to witness the trial

I guess this is the anniversary of Mandy's death. Bless her heart. Rest in Peace Mandy, you're not forgotten.

He became obsessed with the victim and repeatedly tried to ask her out, but after she rejected him one too many times, he decided to take her by force and then killed her to keep her from identifying him. This same story has been repeated with different people in different places at different times - men who can't handle rejection and take out their frustration in violent ways.

Is there any chance that you could cover her brother's case? So glad that Mandy's was solved. Thank you for this. xx

She was a pretty girl,He took her life ,and had the nerve to marry some one eles like she didn't want the same.he is evil and selfish. His family should have gone to the police from day one.

Can’t take stalking lightly
