Wow I started my commemt with oh boy. I'm glad she was found and has her family also.. we said the same thing basically. ❣️

@@pendizzy6352 awwww it really got me too 🥺❤️

,,,,,,,,,@@sugar2th173 yfjdhggdfyxfgxhfg

Hallelujah, praise the Lord!!! So excited for them!!!

She looks just like her aunt

Me too. Crying like a baby right about now

Uubu

She's a great great grandmother. I think .

@@WonderWhatHappened Yes since Holly is a grandmother herself! ♥️

This would have been around 1980 - not so long ago in my opinion. I find it revolting that Arizona authorities permitted a legal adoption of an abandoned infant without having checked for missing children. Likewise, I would have expected Texas authorities to have notified sister states of the missing infant in case an unidentified child happened to pop up in their jurisdictions. The good old days. 🤨

Right this is so tragic and I’m just glad atleast the baby was spared and they are reunited 🙏🏽💓 Nowadays people are so heartless especially compared to back then in the 70s & 80s that they killing the babies too 😩 Just yesterday a local Amber Alert for a missing 1 yr old girl was issued after her Mother had been killed by the Dad and by morning the news reported the baby was found not alive 🥺💔 and I can’t bring myself to swipe the alert notification away off my home screen like I usually do cause it’s so heartbreaking thinkin about what end up happening to her smh 💔🙏🏽👼🏽

Or committed by monsters 👹, who hide behind a religious group.

There's no such thing as monsters. Only humans.

@@christiewilliams1704 My thoughts precisely. The fact they mentioned the separation of men and women makes me think this couple disobeyed that directive and received a brutal punishment. 😕

@@steenystuff1075 Yes, these cults do not mind beating you and gang killing you. Exhibit A-Jim Jones. A chick in Fort Worth, TX was apart of a religious cult. They had too many rules...more than God's commandments. Out of frustration she rebelled, 2 superiors beat her up. Some how she left and showed me her bruises. Appalling.

Hello Judi how are you doing today.

How do you know that the adopting parents were good and loving?

True! Bet the people who dropped her off at the church, knew something about what happened to her parents! But most likely they're dead by now! No way to trace them.

@@glamsky3257Thank you for that observation. I can’t imagine why everyone in this society automatically thinks adoptive parents are so benevolent and have the best intentions. I’m sitting here asking how it is the F.B.I. wasn’t notified of an unidentified abandoned infant. Also: A 42 year old woman who is already a grandmother... that’s not the norm these days. Sounds to me as though there were some problems along the way.

Do you think the 2 women may be able to answer questions in this case?

An evil person that murdered her parents! It’s surprising that holly is found safe and now a mother of five kids! I wondered if her kids find out that their mother is a missing person for 41 years?!

I would be.very curious in finding out how this nomadic religious.group ended up with baby Hollyl

This is more common than people think. Politicians give people a false sense of security. They pretend to prevent crime by lying to voters.

@@sevenspecie592 Well, they had the couple's car, and had called the mother saying the couple was giving it up and not having contact with the family, so they knew the couple. Were they murdered by someone else after that point? Doubtful. They knew they couldn't return Holly to her GM, as she'd know the couple wouldn't give her up.

Hello Rachel, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

Hello Kira how are you doing today.

I was going to write the exact same thing. Feeling so sorry for them, too.

How did they get gerl?

Her!?

Hello Teresa how are you doing today.

They definitely need a criminal investigation, it might be very possible that the people who had her could have been the very same ones who killed her parents

Okay

@@immealldayeveryday9425 They weren't. The people who killed her dropped her off at a church and she was adopted out.

thank god? really?

i request you.. Help us my mother is heart patient i have one small sister and brother. we are in trouble. Our house is broken because of the flood We have become homeless. my father is died please help us God will also help you please🙏

Miracle? Parents of a baby being strangled to death by white robe wearing vegetarian cult members is not exactly what I would call a miracle.

@@rehaan4062 I will pray for you. Have faith and trust always. Even in our most desperate times God is with us and will help us. Leave it to God!

LoL you RU-vid Detectives kill me

Or saved her.

How dumb. Two religious women beat a young man and woman to death? You need to learn critical thinking skills bc your ignorance is embarrassing.

Hello Kiki, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

True. ❤️

Soon ... Amen 🙏 to that Sister ..

Amen 🕊💙

I think it was Ancestry DNA that brought this girl to her family.

​@Grilled Cheese Sandwich at this point?? are new ones appearing regularly?😂😂😂

Well the prayers to prevent discovery of the torture and murder of her parents didn't work out so well. But hey, let's pray for a few more juicy details just for our entertainment.

@@pigeonlove OR you take a few seats and recognize that the damage is done and NOW there are some answers AND that is a space where healing can happen.

i request you.. Help us my mother is heart patient i have one small sister and brother. we are in trouble. Our house is broken because of the flood We have become homeless. my father is died please help us God will also help you please🙏

The wicked ness is everywhere that's why we can't point fingers

Bshahaha!!!!

God didn't find this child, the team of investigators who kept this cold case open, and forensic scientists did, so let's give them some credit.

Father? What’re you on about

The same God that had her parents violently murdered before she even got to know them, had her kidnapped, and then abandoned, and left her in the dark about the tragedy for 40 years 🥰🥰 I'm sure you'll say he didn't do any of that, because after all, you people seem to think God only ever does the good stuff 😉

Thank you for recognizing Holy God he will bless you.

Hello Ana how are you doing today

i don't think it'll be closure - but rather a ripping open of old wounds. The baby they loved and cherish is in essence, a 42 year old stranger, a stranger who has no point of reference to her biological aunt and grandmother, thanks to some horrible people who kidnapped her and killed her parents

@@anovemberstar Hopefully in time they will have some reference to each other, I'm just glad her grandmother got to know what happen to her before she pass on

And how did she get a birth certificate or social security number ?

I agree 💯

@Grilled Cheese Sandwich I doubt it, the baby went missing in 1981

We didn’t have internet or DNA tests in 1981. The only way to verify would be through fingerprints or footprints. There really wasn’t a national database to scrub through and state to states didn’t really work together much. We’ve come a long way since then and still have issues.

How would they do that though, they couldn't use DNA in those days

I have a friend who found both of his birth parents and it did NOT go well. I have another adopted friend who found out her birth mother had passed but her bio mom’s sister informed my friend that her conception was due to the r word and the mom was forced to give up the baby after she refused to end the pregnancy. Very sad stuff but she’s glad she KNOWS, and her bio aunt is a really wonderful person.

@@monstermcboo7282 I have been thinking about getting a DNA test.

@@monstermcboo7282 yeah, one reeeally needs to think long and hard about what they hope to accomplish vs all the unwanted negativity or heartache they could be taking on by seeking out their biological past. Usually, people who give their babies up for adoption do so under strained(at best) scenarios and others under bad ones. Knowing one’s biological history can only go so far unless a medical condition is at stake. But heartache cuts deeper than skin. Yes, you MIGHT be missing out on a wonderful extended family somewhere, but chances are unfortunately, greater that even if THEY aren’t weird, your appearance into their lives could cause a great deal of turmoil. Some people who give up a baby for adoption do so for personal reasons that they keep as a secret from alllll their spouses and children etc all their lives for all kinds of reasons that are complicated and deep. They suffer alone with that to keep the rest of their family or something else from falling apart. An appearance from a long lost child could REALLY cause big problems and you wouldn’t end up with a welcomed reception either. You might end up with resentment and more trouble than you ever dreamed. The saying that “Ignorance is bliss” is really so true more often than not. If you don’t already have trouble, don’t go borrowing any. If you are adopted and desperately want to reunite with your birth parent, I would suggest going at it in the safest way possible which is to make finding yourself as easy and accessible as possible for the parent so that IF theyWANT to find you, they have a decent chance at it. That way, you help it happen without risking imposing on them unwelcomingly. Because depending upon how your adoption contract was set up, it could have been written in such a way that cut off ALL forms and routes of contact for life. Once the adopted person becomes a legal adult though, they can then of course do things to make themselves more accessible- ESPECIALLY with the advent of Internet services. Life isn’t easy or fair as we all so painfully know.

Hello Janet, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

HOWWW on earth does one mother FORCE another to give up their baby in a hospital??🥴

Hello Brenda, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

Still, bittersweet.....

Wants justice for her parents

good ???

Hello Kathleen how are you doing today.

Yea, I read police came to her place of work to inform her of what they discovered. Imagine thinking you were abandoned by your parents, only to learn they were brutally murdered. That you have been missing for 42 years….and a still living Grandma wanted to talk to you.

Cece Moore is an amazing person!

Hello Robin, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

Yep. Amazing that the Texas Attorney General's office didn't think of that, huh?

Many of those DNA services do not allow law enforcement access without a warrant, for the privacy of their clients. Edit: the identity of Pecos Jane was able to be solved partly because of one of these services, though!

I'm guessing it was something like the Gedmatch data base. Those mentioned are not in the loop for handing over genetic information. They claim privacy protection for their customers.

Yes!! I agree!! This didn't happen in 1902!! They easily could have located her family!

@@Rebecca-hc5ju easily? If they could have done it they would have, but they didn't have the technology that they do now

Agree. Did the church where the baby was left contact law enforcement or child welfare about it? Or were they dazzled by the “piety” of the kidnappers (that’s what these two white-robed barefoot women were at that point). Does that church still exist? Is there any investigation of the church under way?

Texas is a huge state, and Houston is on the eastern side of it. It's probably close to 500 miles to where the baby was dropped off. They also didn't know the murdered couple had a child until years later when they were finally identified. Not sure why you're so amazed that law enforcement wasn't looking for a child they didn't know existed.

@@LulaMae21 There is such a thing called a missing person report. Surely the parents of the young couple filed a report about the couple AND their grandchild. But that was the 1980s. I just doubt that today something like the sudden appearance of a child at a church wouldn't be investigated nationwide. Especially since the child was dropped off by bare footed "religious freaks".
