The police failed to interview witnesses, didn't secure the camera footage, dismissed the parents and gaslit them, ignored complaints of decomposition odour from the area the missing person was last seen at, and showed no interest in this case. Could someone please inquire if a police officer or a cop's kid was present at that party where she was assaulted? Because they sure are trying to hide something disgusting

Former sewer maintenance worker for a local city here... There is absolutely no way she pulled one of those lids off by herself, climbed down in there, and then pulled the lid back closed, again, by herself. She was most definitely placed down in there. We used cranes bolted onto the beds of our heavy duty trucks to lift, move, and load the frames and lids of sewer manholes. They weigh several hundreds of pounds. Idc how crazy of what kind of a drug fueled trip she was on. She definitely did not put herself down in there.

@jensmith7331 Год назад

I’m from Little Rock & this is a good overview of the case. The LRPD was completely incompetent. Ebby’s family, specifically her mother, who was just advocating for her daughter, quickly developed a contentious relationship w/the police. I think they even told her to stop calling. The mother had some connections & went around the police which pissed them off even more. I think they also thought of Ebby as being kinda wild & just categorized her as a runaway. The entire situation is so sad.

@allisonrobertson2994 Год назад

I’m from Little Rock and this case got me into true crime. Everyone should know that the cop first put on this case was best friends with one of the boys, who raped her, father, who was a lawyer. And another of the boys was being recruited by the Arkansas Razorbacks. This poor girl’s death was covered up by the LRPD. No one is that incompetent.

What I do not understand is why her family didn't explore the pipe as a matter of urgency when the police failed to do so? Sure they can't excavate but they could have hired a private person to send a probe in there. And at that early stage the body would have still been closer to the opening before the month/years of rain washed her deeper in. Very bizarre.

The show called The First 48 was based on true stories and its called that for a reason. The first hours for a child is critical. For an adult the first 48 hours is critical because the more time that passes the less likely it is to find the person alive. As for kids they are murdered within the first 3-24 hours.

Watching the police officer talking at the scene, you can tell he's embarrassed, he's stuttering and looks ashamed that even after reports of the smell several times the police still never sprung into any kind of action. Are they just that lazy? What if it were there family member? Shocking! R.I.P Eebby,💜💕

@jebbush6657 Год назад

psst that's the hint it WAS one of their family members: one of the rapists and most likely the murderer, that is. Cops protect their own, but the literal only thing they do besides that is find nice white girls after they're killed to scare local populations into giving them raises every year. There's no fuckng way this department just "decided not to" investigate when the work was basically done FOR them with all the tips. They were told not to investigate.

@callanightshade8079 Год назад

It's an unfortunate problem that we deal with here in America. Corrupt cops. Many are lazy, many are on a power trip, many (especially in small towns) have connections that stroke their egos, and then we have the minority. The cops who truly do care and long to do the right thing. Cops are supposed to be here to help protect us but all they've really been doing for the longest time is going on power trips

This story has always horrified me. I live in Arkansas about 3 hours from Little Rock.

@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic You are right, I have NO clue how any of them feel. Being a Certified Peer Specialist, part of our training is to never put ourselves in other's shoes because we/no1 knows what someone else has gone thru nor how that experience has made them feel. But, that's also why I said I could only "imagine", but even then, you're right, I couldn't. That 2 week CPS class was more difficult than any college course I ever took, in many ways, especially learning how to have the "tough conversations" mostly surrounding trauma. I only share in case there's others looking into this type of field / work; it is well worth it. All in all, it was a terrible situation that clearly has provoked many viewers intense emotions themselves, which speaks of the nature of the case itself, as well as Adrian's unique way of bringing the stories he speaks on to life. Prayers to all involved & may you be resting in peace Ebby.

@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic Год назад

@Gem Rippers Sports Cards Even then, imagination only goes so far... I honestly hope that her killer can be found. As a former criminology student who passed the course, her phone could be used in some form of evidence against those that sexually assaulted her. Its a clear motive given she had info and could easily ruin their lives with it. Obviously it's not really concrete evidence like a murder weapon having her blood and their fingerprints on it, but it's a start. Can't remember if they found her phone or not as I have extremely bad memory and watched this right before I fell asleep.

Yeah what if she was alive in the drain?! What if she was tied up and left there? Boys too cowardly to actually end her themselves. The officer believed "due to the condition of the body" that implies she was tied up (or possibly the method left a mark on her body.) But what if she was alive and drowned in the heavy rained or died of thirst/ hunger or positional asphyxiation? What if they COULD have saved her? If they had taken the parents seriously right away.

My hunch is that the killer is one of the SA perps and the son of a cop. The delayed reaction so recordings and destruction of the evidence by leaving the trunk open were intentionally done by the department. So the son is likely the son of someone with pull in the department and protected the killer.
