Las Vegas police have contacted a woman to collect DNA samples because they believe her brother matches the description of the body that was found inside a barrel at Lake Mead. bit.ly/3A7hfHR
The reporter has a way with words. The barrel didn't "wash up" it has been sitting in the same place for 40 years, the water level dropped enough to expose the barrel. Then she says the sister want's "concrete answers" which is a nice pun to being involved with the MOB as these barrels were likely sunk with concrete. That being said, there is no question a body in a barrel is a murder. Nobody can seal themselves in a barrel then toss themselves in the water to commit suicide drown by accident.
I grew up in Las Vegas and there has always been speculation that there are several decades of bodies in Lake Mead. With the lake receding, the person was the first and there are going to be many more. That being said, my heart goes out to this lady and I hope she find out for sure what happened to her brother.
They just found a few in Lake Mead due to the receding water level. Encased in a 55 gallon drum that was submerged in wet concrete, allowed to dry and then dumped in lake Mead.
To a reporter everything has to be controversial. It's almost as if something was firmly decided on without a doubt then it would be the end of the world. 😆 Not that I would dare suggest that they like spreading confusion. 😮
I've noticed on some of the reports for the other bodies discovered innuendos of "deep dive", 'unsealed this case", "stuck in the mud". Just clever enough to be overlooked by much of the audience.
Considering the mob presence in Las Vegas back then... pretty surprising there are so few barrels. So far, anyway. Then again, maybe there are a lot more bodies buried in the desert.
@@tylermallory2504 yeah man, that doesn't happen. You don't just walk into every casino and there's a loan shark ready to let some shmuck blow 100k, then bury him, and never see a penny back. Over and over. You definitely watch too many movies. Stay boosted.
I'm so glad that my uncle who was murdered was found only a year after he was killed I can only imagine how horrible it could have been for me and my family to not know what happened for decades like this poor lady and her family
He was involved with the mob and the mob “may have had something to do with his disappearance.” I think we can all say yes, the mob had something to do with his disappearance.
This is so sad, my sister went missing about 14 years ago at age 16, she should be 30 today in 2022. I am 33 right now that happened back in El Salvador when I was 19 years old. I hope you find her before I die 😭😢😢 I hope this lady finds closure once and for all after 45 years.
@@bennyboogenheimer4553 My baby sister name is Alejandra Stephanie Rios, we don’t have same last name because different dad same mom. Regardless we grew up together I see no difference whatsoever, you may be right specifically now adays. I’ve trying that for years now just never here 😢
I can imagine her approaching someone that reminded her of him, only to be disappointed Again. How Poignant to eventually accept it and then finally to Know. WWI caused so many soldiers to never return and without much information, I can only imagine how many years it takes to "move on". I’m glad that she is in a good place with it. Obviously a Caring Sister. They don’t Age in our minds eye, do they, forever Young.
God bless her im so sorry she went thru this for so many years! Losing a sibling is so painful and how to this day she never gave up the search 🥺 May you both reunite in the next life.
There is nothing “cool” about in my view. But it will be relief of sorts to families and investigators who sought some measure of closure on missing persons cases.
The barrel didn’t “wash up on shore”. It was discovered because the water level has receded so much and revealed it. Details matter! Report them correctly.
My heart hurts for this woman! I can only imagine the mind-trip she feels when she constantly feels like people look like they could be her brother.🥺 My cousin went missing for 3 months before we found her body, and every single night was a nightmare! I feel nauseated to even imagine not knowing for 45+ years. I have anxiety for them…
it may not be him cus there was a guy named jimmy hoffa whent mising after rating and people said he was shot and stuffed in a 50 to 55 gal barrel and dumped into a lake no one said what lake so how do u know not driver jimmy hoffa every thing match up to a T and he whent missing around the same time frame thay origoly gave them and agian thay aso said thay dont know for sure what year he from the 80s or 70s reson y thay said thay want to test the barrel to see how long it take for barrel to decay like that and try find out what year berrel was made for them to get better ideal on what year the guy from
I hope this gives some closure some answers. This so horrible imagine a loved one just goes missing for decades and this happens . May they R.I.P. ,God bless

Imagine being the sister that got that call. She must have had so many emotions. I have a brother. I can't imagine what it would do to me if he went missing and then not have any answers for 45 years. I hope she gets the answers she has been seeking for so long. I hope they can finally lay him to rest the right way. If this was a Mafia killing, how many more bodies in that lake are linked to them?? It's sad to think all these people that keep being discovered would have probably never been found if not for the drought and lakes shrinking. That is the only upside to this drought, some families are getting answers and can lay their loved ones to rest the right way
If ya really got to know what's in not been said is the other 5 that were discovered and I guess there's a bit more .... I just wonder how many are in lake Tahoe🤔
Probably the majority. Especially if they're found inside of a container or vehicle. Anyone that actually just drowned and never recovered, wouldn't be found after a couple of years, if that long, except maybe a single bone or two.
@@Moellmoell @moe mann Well whoever was involved in the brother's death, they faced their judgement on the other side. What matters now is returning his remains to his family so they can lay him to rest.
It was roughly 45 years ago, so whoever did it could very possibly be alive. An older boss, probably not. But younger flunkies that usually did the dirty work could very well be walking around right now. Either way, there's probably someone alive that knows something.
Truly sorry for your loss, and my respect and condolences to you. But I'm hoping that maybe as hard as it might be to find out, that at least you can have a end to your search.🙏
My uncle went missing about 41 years ago, my same age. Unfortunately this case happened when he were swimming on sea in Dominican Republic, he never came back from there. They looked for him and never found him and anything or clue about him. Unfortunately my grandparents and my mommy passed away without any response or any closure to this sad story. I'm praying for our missing loved one can be back home and before we die💔😓🙏🏾
It's incredible we have to wait for a lake to evaporate to find all these missing people. The police couldn't use their technology to search for all this time? This reminds me of the channel Adventures With Purpose who are basically doing police work of finding missing people in bodies of water.
@@AC-87 AWP just recovered the missing CA girl and her SUV. She disappeared from a party, it is believed to have been an accident. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MAWP5UUt5tk.html
Could be mafia because the first report said that they couldn't determine whether it was a male or female but was likely of Italian nationality because pasta noodles were still preserved caked around the ribcage.😂
Praying for this lady and all concerned. So glad the remains were recovered, hopefully there will be answers and closure for some💔 Would that all missing could be found, all hearts healed
@@ubeuonly what a ridiculous response. There's just absolutely no reason at all to be condescending and belittling toward someone for a comment like that. If you don't believe that prayer does anything that fine. That's your business. Just be nice.
It's mostly done out of consideration for the families who think that could be their missing family member. Some other publications didn't, but. it's not blurred because the image is graphic or anything. You wouldn't want to see that or have other people see that if it were your dad or something.
Why is death considered such a gruesome thing, life itself only exists because of death. It's the same damn thing. We all will experience it and seeing it would only serve us well to remind us our time here on Earth has an expiration.
Closure for the sister would be nice. I like the fact the news is still on the story and told us. So many of these cases get pushed out and we never hear the end result. It also proves the Wild West didn't stop being wild!
@@mikenorris4966 Yeah, because boats are so hard to get. It's so much easier using a mattock tool or renting a back-hoe to dig holes around Vegas. Nothing like spending a few hours digging holes than driving for an hour to kick a barrel off a boat. Hmmmm, physical labor all night long, or stuff a guy in a barrel and kick it off a boat in under an hour, drive back home and sleep like a baby...
@@elmerkilred159 with the construction going up in Vegas during the mob years, wouldn’t be that hard to just bulldoze the body under a new foundation lol
"In the end, Brock is hoping for some concrete answers." Interesting choice of words. They should have also added that the greaving family can "barrel-y" stand the suspense. 🙄
Bud you no nothing of what it was back then, people took care of each other, the mob ran stuff better then the government. He probably did something against them.
Make sure you file a report a missing persons report and swab your mouth for dna to be entered into CODIS that way if it is hun they would have a way to compare it to you or other family member. It’s never too late to get closure
I’m so tired of blurred out parts of pictures and videos. If someone who was there could see everything, why can’t we also see it? It’s the responsibility of people who are sensitive to seeing natural events or parts of bodies to censor themselves rather than have someone else make the decision for everyone to censor a picture, a video, a drawing, etc.
@Darryl Walker Because it’s nature. We want to sanitize everything; we should be exposed to natural processes so we don’t get lulled into thinking that death or the effects of violence to people is clean and tidy. All the reported needed to do is warn people that the following scene was raw and unedited.
"We had a problem... and uh, we tried to do everything we could. Well, you know what I mean. He's gone, and we couldn't do nothing about it. That's it. He's gone." - Vinnie
I can't even imagine a loved one disappearing for years........How do families cope? The pain must be immeasurable not knowing where there loved one is......
I understand the families maybe wanting to know if it's them but then I want to know what did they get into that led them to be in a barrel in lake mead. There's a story there
Probably gambling debts/loansharking debts they couldn't pay to the mafia. I'm sure that's the most common reason citizens were made to disappear. Families usually being clueless to their debts and dealings.
They said it was a mob hit and if it's that poor guy he was mob related. I don't think they will solve the case any more than that but that in itself is an answer. The people who killed him most likely are dead now so we should be happy his family can finally stop wondering, which I am told is the worst, and bury their relative.
It's things like this that make me really question anything the news media has to say as they will report details that completely obscure what happened. The barrel did NOT "wash up on shore." How does the reporter not know that the water level of Lake Mead has been receding due to the extreme drought conditions over the last 20 years? The water receded revealing the barrel that had been laying on the lake bed under the water for quite some time. Washing up on shore implies that it was floating and well, washed up on shore. But that is not what happened. Now take this as an example of even more imperative information that gets parroted by the news media and they can easily insert a narrative that never happened on even major events because a great deal many of the public take the news media as the gospel.
@@assog5737 Smart and dumb are abstract concepts, I'm not concerned with such labels. Don't you watch TV to be entertained? What makes you think this is any different?
@@assog5737 LMFAO 😂🤣 No, not really though. A concept is only a thought. You can't be a mere thought. For what are you then when there are no thoughts? What are you in the gap between two thoughts where there is no thought? Don't you see, you are not anything you think you are? You are not the thoughts. Even when there are no thoughts, you still are. Concepts really have nothing to do with you. Concepts are only thoughts. The thoughts don't know anything. Thoughts are only ever known, but they are never knowers. You're the knower that knows of the thoughts and the thoughts are only known like apparent objects. Is that not in fact exactly how you directly experience all thoughts? Thoughts are only KNOWN but the thoughts themselves are not knowers. Even the so-called "thinker" is just a thought. You can't be the thinker as you are prior to the thoughts, unstained and unaffected by the thoughts. That which THINKS "I am the thinker of my thoughts" IS a thought. That is not you, that is the mind, you are that which is consciously aware of the mind. When I say "you" I don't mean anything you think is yourself, that is NOT you. You are not the thinker. You are not what the thinker says you are. The thinker is talking about the mind, it is the mind thinking about itself, this is called the ego but you are not the ego, you don't have ego, the ego is just an illusion of the mind's own making. The mind is not conscious of you. The ego is not a possessor of consciousness. It claims it is but it doesn't know what it is thinking. You are the knowing that is conscious of the thoughts. Know the difference between your Self and the mind. Don't confuse your Self with the mind. The mind does not know who you are. The mind doesn't know that it is only an illusion, that appears and disappears, but you don't appear with it and you certainly don't disappear with it. The mind appears and disappears in you, you as in what is conscious of all this. You are not the word "consciousness" as that only is a pointer that reflects something is aware of all of this. All that seems to appear in form including "names" given to the forms which isn't a name a form that you see appearing? It all appears in what doesn't appear or disappear because it Self doesn't have a name or form and cannot be limited to names and forms. All that appears in the mind but the Self is beyond the mind. The mind is full of self-ignorance but there is no ignorance in the Self. The mind falsely claims to be the self, a false separate self that doesn't actually exist. The mind doesn't know that it doesn't exist. It THINKS it does and that is all the mind is, a bundle of thoughts. When there are no thoughts there is no mind. Mind and thoughts are one in the same thing, an illusory appearance, no different than a mirage of water, no different that a dream. The mind doesn't know that it only THINKS it knows and therefore cannot know because it is only known. Thinking is not knowing. Knowing doesn't require thinking. Knowledge that depends on thinking is false knowledge, it is ignorance. Watch the mind, it will either lie and claim that it understands this or claim it doesn't understand this, but the neither understands nor misunderstands anything. Understanding is only a thought. There isn't really a need to understand anything. Seeking to understand is just a game the mind plays. That game is played within this consciousness but it doesn't affect or fool this consciousness. The mind only fools itself. It is not possible to fool the Self because the Self is the only reality and there is no other reality. The mind is an unreality that appears within the reality that you are. Ultimately you are ineffable so even calling the Self a reality is not exactly true. You cannot use the mind to know your Self as the Self is not an object to be known. You know your Self by being your Self, that is all there is to knowing the Self, being the Self. Not being this and being that, just being. Drop all thoughts, let go of all concepts, ignore the mind entirely and you are in your original Absolute state without name and form. The eternal Life is you. You don't have a life. Life is not an object. Life has objects but life itself is not an object. Life is nothing appearing as everything but everything that appears to be a "thing" is not really what it appears to be. Everything in reality is no thing. Self doesn't need to understand this as the Self is Self-knowing, Self-luminous. This message is not for the Self but for the babbling ignorant mind that creates all its own problems, even creates an imaginary world(people) of seperate egos (people), seperate places and separate things. That world is only imagined and does not exist. The "world" is just an appearance and there is nothing that is not actually the Self but the Self is not a separate thing, there is no separation in reality because reality is not two. There is only the Self, this is the only reality. The mind doesn't know reality being that the mind is an unreality it only thinks about unrealities. Reality cannot be known with the mind. You can only distort the reality with using the mind. But never mind the mind because it doesn't even know that it is ignorant and tells lies. The mind is unconscious and inert, only this Consciousness is conscious. Consciousness is not trapped in a body. The body is trapped in Consciousness. What the mind calls "space" is not empty. It is full of consciousness. What the mind calls "space" is not the word, but is formless consciousness. The body appears in you, you as in Consciousness. You are not the person the mind claims that you are. The mind does not know who you are. The mind doesn't know it isn't really a mind. That is the illusion, an illusion is an appearance that seems to exist but isn't what it seems. The entire universe is an illusion, it appears as an image and is constantly changing its image until it disappears, but this Conscious-Awareness does not disappear. Conscious-Awareness is ever-present, eternal, not mortal but immortal. Why let the mind play these mortal games with you? Why sufffer with the illusory ego? Why take yourself to be the image of the body that appears to be born and will die and disappear? Why not just be who you really are, the unborn eternal life that everything in existence owes its very apparent existene to that which is its source? The whole truth is summed with: "Be still and know that I am God." These words are appearing within this Consciousness. You are that which is conscious of these words but are not these words. You are beyond these words. These words are appearances appearing within you but you have no appearance, you don't need an appearance to exist, you don't need to exist yet you do not not exist. Even the knowing that some thing no longer exists suggests you are there to know it but the Self is unknowable the All-knowing omnipresence to which all is known. The words are not what they seem, they can only reflect that which cannot be limited to words/thoughts. When you stop playing these games with the mind that the mind likes to play then there is only unconditional love, unbroken bliss, and the peace that surpasses all understanding. Isn't that what the mind is looking for in all its thoughts, it is looking for peace because by its very nature the mind is restless and does not know peace. When there are no thoughts you experience a peace that cannot be put into words, if you try to think about it you will only spoil it. Just be your Self without thinking, and rest in that eternal peace. You need not worry about anything ever again. Not that you ever did worry, as that was the illusion of the mind that was worrying but the worrying is only in the thoughts and thus it does not have a reality The finite mind cannot understand the infinite. It is the infinite that knows the finite mind and is not fooled by the games the mind plays. Infinite literally means "not finite." And "you" are That!
Went to Sierra Vista 15 or so years ago, kids joked all the time calling it lake death. My mom asked why I never wanted to fish there and that's what I told her.
Does anybody remember many years ago when Jacques Cousteau the French diving professional wanted to send one of his submersibles deep into Lake Tahoe and he was forbidden
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 And as we know Lake Tahoe is very deep And is not running out of water yet.. Blessings to you and your family coming at you Jeff from Southern Oregon
When you're a journalist words are important. That barrel did not wash up on any shore it's been sitting in the same spot for over 40 years it's just the water levels dropped to expose it!
Maybe money in his pocket, faded ID and other personal effects. Tattoo's are a great identifier of bodies, just like implants they all have serial numbers on them.
@@peaceofmind2424 that's interesting. I would think water would have corroded everything. And then there is a question of items still being tucked around the body and didn't float away?
She said "just knowing makes me feel better". I don't know about anyone else, but if I could choose between not knowing and knowing my brother was in a barrel at the bottom of a lake, I'd choose not knowing... unless I hated his guts.
Nah, it doesn't mean she hated him. It's just a thing like that weighs on you. She says she knows he's gone and then in the next breath she's talking about how she still looks at strangers who might be him because "you have to look". 45 years is a long time for that awful stupid hope to be torturing you.
