The Disappearance of Kayla Berg 

i cant believe the mum thinks the video ppl could be prosecuted coz she got her hopes up. what a bitch. they didnt even know your kid mate! back off!

Oh, great! I was just going to make a comment on that. However, it's not pronounced Warsaw, either. It's tricky. I remember it from an insurance commercial from years ago. You should call someone there and have them pronounce it for you.

Yea you butchered those names. Wausau is pronounced (Wah-saw) and Antigo (Anti-go)... You like those names... We have plenty more awesome ones in this state *waves of sarcasm flooding in* Wisconsin is wonderful.

Yeah.. that accent is worse than my unintelligible hillbilly dialect... "which roots are Irish"... anyway, Na Tahhh shahhh.... not notoesha

Much love tho

That was my reaction, too --Prosecuted for WHAT???!!

@Gustavo Ramos He couldn't be prosecuted for this. IT would never hold up in court.

While I empathize with the pain of the parent I agree prosecuting someone who by chance created a story that just happens to somewhat match up to your painful experience is unarguably irrational as we would then have to pour back through every serial killer inspired work and prosecute all those creators too. Just think of it as someone lashing out emotionally and not logically as tends to happen when someone is in pain

@@TypeRSXk20 offended yes, but prosecuted? No.

Probably obscenities. But no jury would see that video as obscene given the abundance or horror content out there.

You know what. In this case, id bet my life if i had to choose between a wes or no that Kevin absolutely was involved. However, i do unofficial "ubers" for alot of my friends and there friends who i dont know. Im reminded of a situation where i agreed to pick up this chick who i allowed to smoke what i thought was a regular blunt in my car as i drove her where she was going (at like 2:30am after she was partying etc with my friends). Weeeell.... The fucking blunt (thankfully i dont smoke anymore cause i wouldve been tripping) was a dust blunt (angel dust). It caused her to act completely retarded. She kept saying go straight go straight go straight and eventually we ended up waaay far away from where i found out she was going smh. Anyways i was irritated and tired so i made her stop smoking and sober up enough to give me an address exactly where she was going. We get there and its this sketchy looking pull off by a river where trailer trucks where parked. I finally felt i couldn't just babysit forever so after i repeatedly asked why she was getting off there and didnt get a clear response, i said whatever then please be careful and have a good night. She got out and i left. I felt kind of bad after but wtf could i have done? Thats where she was determined to be dropped off (i actually saw her afterwards so it was ok) but if something happened and i was questioned, id probably have looked really suspicious because i didnt stay and wait to see what direction she went after she got out.

Miki Miyazaki i feel that a lot looking at these cases, i can never judge what the person was doing as there are situations ive been in that could make me seem suspicious even though i’m not at all, and haven’t killed anyone lol. It makes these cases so much harder too when you know she partied and lied to her parents, it makes so many possibilities

Right I always make sure my friends male or female walk through the door if I'm dropping them off day or night and I expect the same in return. So yeah when I heard that I was like that's suspicious. He doesn't sound like anyone I would want to hangout with

Really? I know someone whose aunt dropped her off at a relative's house without checking if that relative was home before driving off. They weren't and she had to come down to my house to use the phone to call her Mom. According to you, if she had gone missing, the aunt must've done it when in actuality, it would've been someone else. I do agree that it was Kevin but not for the reason you gave.

This all depends on what was her definition of "friend". If it's someone you just hang out with, that's an acquaintance, not a friend. One will have your best interests in mind and the other? Well, we've seen the results.

Exactly!! Shit if that was the case they have to lock up all the hollywood artists while they're at it.. 🤦

Totally agree. Shall we arrest every movie maker and amateur video blogger/poster globally? I mean, I get that it struck close to home, and I feel horrid for the mother. The people who need to be taken to task though are the fear mongering morons who showed the mom that video and told her it was Kayla. THAT's criminal, not making a video.

Completely agree. Send them to jail for bad acting sure but was a crime committed? Nope.

@@lolaspratt5860 honestly the acting wasn’t that bad imo. The girl’s performance at least.

@@chrisa7905 I can admit yeah her screams were unsettling! If you haven’t, check out the Indian Creek video of Mike’s. That one does have some truly bad acting (not from Mike obviously) lol.

There's this guy that was a bit off, and made weird content for RU-vid. He developed and obsession for a singer or actress, anyway, he decided he was going to kill her, all of his discussions and nakedness (at times) were all out there. He did try a few times to kill her. He eventually killed himself online, on RU-vid. And the guy's acting at the start of this was totally along that flavor. I didn't watch it all just clips from stories like this and I listen to a lot of podcasts and they describe some of it, NO THANK YOU! But seriously not a crime. I think the killing yourself on screen is now....but...I mean...What are they going to do about it?

Well done? It was crap. The man is a terrible actor. What's insane is that anyone believed it was real.

@@amandastakeonit7402 youre saying the guy from the fake youtube video streamed his suicide after attempting to murder a woman multiple times?

It really does seem like nobody cared for this girl like a parent would. Her parents seemed like they wanted to be her friends too. Once she was caught lying about her whereabouts Id never trust her again. Everything would have to be verified twice and I might do a random pop in just to make sure she's not lying. You know because her safety is more important than her "likeng" mom and dad. But thats just me

As a mother of two grown children, my jaw dropped when they didn't try to find her right away.

I am Sure she is devastated. The moms and dads always are with these Horrific crimes. That don't mean we know they were good parents behind closed doors. Calling after a week isn't being a friend. It's at least a slight lack of concern

I know right! The first time your child doesn’t sleep in their bed and you can’t find them and they’re not in contact with anyone why the hell aren’t you on the phone to the police? I’m sure they’re already beating themselves up but just because your daughter lied about going to a few parties that doesn’t mean you essentially take a wait and see attitude to their safety.

I can't understand why they waited. Everyone knows about the Golden Hour in disappearances and medical emergencies. Poor Kayla.

Maybe it's some kind of control thing, like she hasn't yet developed a strong enough personality to stand up for herself and is easily manipulated. Maybe she did try and stand up for herself and things may have gotten a bit crazy.

Yeah put that guy in jail for that

Because she is tall.

Even worse is the brother, who was friends with the dude

@Tiffany Fudala I agree, if you see this please read my comment. Neglectful parents, that's my mother. She actually encouraged me to go where she had no idea where she was dropping me off or knew who I was going to be around. I guess she didn't want me around that night. I was stupid and I know that. I trusted the wrong parent. My fault too though.

Yes. She was probably too young to be partying like that. I'm sure both her parents love her and have been punishing themselves ever since she went missing. No parent deserves for their kid to go missing.

Sgili - I'm sorry that you went through that. ((Hugs))

@@jessicamilestone4026 I've seen this type of parent way too often, very permissive because either they want to be considered as a friend who remembers when they were teens or they are overconfident in their early child rearing skills to the point they trust the kid to make good decisions. I on the other hand was more of the prison guard parent, at least that's what my daughter said at the time. But she made it through her teen years unscarred and unscathed by unfortunate but entirely predictable events that many of her peers fell victim to. The world post internet is very different from pre internet when if you got a phone call everyone in the house knew it. It was very difficult for adults to gain access to teens or for teens to make plans without anyone knowing what they are up to. I'll admit I tried to allow her more freedom coming into junior high school but that quickly had to change when I found out what was happening on Facebook and Instagram where she and I assume all of the girls in her friends list were getting sexual propositions from men even in their 40's and some girls were being blackmailed because they had been foolish enough to send naked photos to older boys they met online. I'm glad to say she now realizes how lucky she was to have the scariest dad in he class.

Or he sold her to traffickers.

LT. KENDA REFERENCE!!! Love that dude.

Exactly!

@@ABNMPmama me too, watched ALL of His stuff on Discovery ID!!

Fuckin flyin Brian Hahahahahahah

Don't play dumb. They knew very well what they were doing. Getting an actress that looked like Kayla and pretending she was kidnapped. It wasn't coincidental. It was a sickening thing to do to someone but it isn''t prosecutable. They should still apologize for putting the family through that anguish.

Celtic victory, no he literally said they had no idea about Kayla

This was done 7 years before the girl went missing social media should be the ones to apologise for making such a huge mistake.

@@crystalsmith7939 The last person to see the victim alive is very frequently found to be the perpetrator.

The last person to see the victim alive or the first person to discover the dead bodies is often the killer.

@@splint3048 and usually someone they know.

What about mike does he even have an alibi? I’m just saying

@chris kibodeaux LOL. There are people serving life sentences with less circumstantial evidence than they have on him. Hell, there are people in prison simply because they weren't able to prove definitively that they didn't do it but no evidence at all that they did it. It really depends on the jury but the cops actually have to charge someone. If he went to court being the last person that saw her, claiming to have dropped her at a condemned house and with the cadaver dog response, there are definitely juries that wold find him guilty. I don't agree that thry should- while I think he's likely involved that's not enough evidence for me to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt- juries have convicted with much less.

@@mommy2libras only if you had a shitty lawyer I don’t care who the jury is if you actually spend bread on a good lawyer no shot that is happening

exactly.

Yeah, I was relieved when it turned out to be fake. It kind of makes you think though, all these stories we've heard here, must have been that kind of horror for all the victims. That fake video made those stories, and this one, more real somehow.

Oh yes, I got legit scared for a second, until Mike said it was fake.

I was terrified! 😫🤪

I'm extremely surprized anyone was able to believe that was in any way real even for a second. The dude was clearly overacting, although some may see that as just being creepy. Then he posts the video on RU-vid? What would be the point of that? Then he said he met her at the mall. Nothing in the investigation even remotely implied she was anywhere near a mall for any reason. Next, the girl starts crying right when the door opens, as if that's the cue to start her part. Any real girl would have been crying long before he opened the door or the moment they started hearing him unlock it, not right when the door opened. If it were around the time of her disappearance it would still be unbelievable, but timing would be worth noting. However it was a full 7 years after she disappeared and, despite the low quality of the image, she still seemed to be in good shape which would be very odd for someone held in captivity. Not underfed, not overweight, no visible scars or injuries, all while being held against her will for 7 years. Her hair was also in extremely great shape, something that usually takes a long time and a lot of care, much unlike what you'd expect from someone held captive against her will for 7 years. She even still seems to have some sort of eyeliner on. Very unlikely. Lastly, the dude closes the door while it's still completely dark in there. No matter what he planned to do with the girl, even a perp would want some sort of a light on if he was in a private area. There could be individual explanations for one or two of these, but all of those together really scream it's fake. The only other thing to go on is this girl in a poorly lit low quality video may have slightly looked like her, even though the girl looks extremely basic. It seemed to be just as believable as a generic creepypasta. I'm very surprized this was able to be taken seriously.

@@ScaredX Yes, you are a very smart person.

Yup

That's where it takes you, when you purely base judgement on a loose intuition inspired by desperation. Logic and facts matters above everything else, when it comes to missing person investigation. Period. This fit of emotional tantrum can only do harm to an innocent amateur filmmaker's reputation. What was that woman thinking?! Potentially killing a man socially because an unrelated video hit home too close won't bring back her child -_-

It's a witch hunt.

@Mimosa Baker hiya incel

@Mimosa Baker then I pity your spouse if they're a woman

@oceanblueharmony It literally had nothing to do with the case, you are misunderstanding something. It was an unrelated short horror skit that had nothing at all specific about this case. Wtf?

I Sooo......agree with you. If you haven't seen it already, I recommend you do. It's so right on with your comment. That Chapter : The case of Jodi Parrack. Just because of one comment this person said , an it resulting the way it did. Bam! Suddenly he's the prime subject. But I won't say anymore . Again watch it if you haven't already. It goes right with your comment.

You are completely right about this. I have read about a story of an auxiliary cop having his entire life ruined by a DA and two detectives. They would go around town telling everyone that would listen that they had all sorts of evidence and DNA evidence to link him to the rape and murder of a young girl. The problem was they had no evidence what so ever linking him to the crime. He messed up his alibi and that is why they were convinced that he did it. They turned the entire town against him. He was fired from his job. His wife divorced him and took their kids away. He was convicted of perjury and sentenced for two years in prison. A man in the other town tried to take another young girl but she was able to escape. This man would later confess to the rape and murder of the girl found by the cop. Despite that, the DA, detective, and the people in that town continue to believe the cop had a hand in the young girls death even though he was proved to be innocent of the crime. In the end he had to leave town and start completely over by himself. He was only guilty of finding this poor young girl body and calling it in. Truly sickening what a couple of shitty cops and an even shittier arrogant DA can do to you.

And never take a polygraph. You can be innocent and still fail.

Police are extremely lazy and not very bright. It's imperative that you get a lawyer or just refuse to talk as soon as police question you about a crime, even if they're pretending that they only are looking for help they are looking to pin the crime on someone ASAP. They don't care who gets the rap because they think everyone is guilty of something. That's just the way they think. I believe half the unsolved cases out there are actually by police because a cop would never think to suspect another cop. They're the good guys and everyone else are the bad guys.

You've got that right. Dude probably would be in jail right now, even if he did nothing wrong.

I'd go as far to say you should get a lawyer ESPECIALLY if you are innocent.

A-fucking-men. Not wanting to continue to talk to police and lawyering up after already telling them everything you know is a good way to avoid being the innocent dude convicted of a crime by an overzealous PD/DA office who have a high profile case with no arrests made. Which, granted, doesn't happen all the time, but it definitely happens and often enough that you shouldn't just take your chances. And idk if those guys are guilty or not, this is all assuming that they are actually innocent. The one dude who had his car singled out by cadaver dogs definitely seems like he did it though.

Stop yelling, we can hear you. Ffs

I believe anyone being questioned should have a lawyer sit in! As I’m a complete supporter of our police they are not your friend in the interrogation room...... there’s to many cases of people wing falsely accused

Right. It's so bizarre how people seem to demand their rights & freedoms be taken away.

I read about that ordeal in news when it happened. That original horror video was reuploaded with a new title referring to Kayla Berg and people were posting/sharing it as if they’d already confirmed Kayla was in it. From there I believe it took some time for police to investigate the film makers properly.

@backtothefuture1066 There's always someone who tries to make it political lol

@backtothefuture1066 perhaps but the right are just as bad

‘The scenario we’re discussing here’ is completely irrelevant to politics. People affected by the case had a knee-jerk reaction as a result of trauma. It’s not because of their political beliefs no matter how badly you want it to be

agree!!

Ana Morel I agree. Them being blamed was wrong.

Agree 100% I guess it was a video discovered at the wrong time

I couldn't agree more, Ana Morel. I have deep sympathy for Kayla's mother, it must be particularly brutal having to live with the fact that the scumbags who exploited (in my opinion) her daughter in life, are now almost certainly withholding information about her death, but it's not entirely fair for her to condemn these filmmakers, as if they purposely "pranked" her (which they clearly didn't). It's such a pronounced example of cognitive dissonance I have to wonder if she's been fed false information about the origin of the tape (ie, no one initially explained to her it was very likely fake). No matter how deep her grief, it makes no sense to believe it was "aimed" specifically at her or this case. All that said, I hate to sound like a jackboot fascist, but I would love 15 minutes alone with Kevin/Miguel in a soundproof room with 2 chairs and a phone book. *wham*

yeah the mother was borderline delusional about it.

What's amazing is that you think kids tell their parents everywhere they go.

@@CelticVictorywhat amazes me, is the mothers low opinion of her missing daughter,believing she was the girl in that video,

Her response is understandable. The girl in the video does bear a resemblance to Kayla and you can understand why her mother would want it to be her. Frankly, the people behind that video deserved the hate they got.

CelticVictory why? The video was made several years before kaylas disappearance 😐

Exactly, I totally agree. Her overreaction is totally understandable considering her years of anguish & not knowing anything all these years. The amateur filmmakers never intended to compound her suffering. They said they weren’t even aware of Kayla’s case. It’s no different than a horror film made commercially or independently & based on a similar subject matter that’s available to watch. I’m sure they felt just awful about how their little film affected Kayla’s mother.

@@gowrieeyres5720 No, it wasn't. It was released after she disappearance. Think about it. If the video was found in 2016 and had been on RU-vid for 7 years, then that means it was released in 2009. That's the same year Kayla went missing.

CelticVictory it doesn’t say the video was made 7 years ago? It says “ the girl in the video closely resembles Kayla who disappeared 7years ago”

The mother mentioned the clothes looked like Kayla, The women in the video was naked on the bathroom floor. She did not have any clothes on. The whole video is pretty awful. Shame these kids could not find something more productive to do than make ridiculous horror movies.

Well her logic is being affected by stress and trauma that you couldn’t even fathom or hope to even begin to understand. So think about that next time you try to be a funny smart guy you ignorant ass hole

@@ritaheilig3575 there are other parts of the video where the victim is wearing clothes.

@@jasonmoore7223 woah man, you are so righteous and such a moral person. everybody will remember the day when, jason Moore, beacon of lino, paragon of moral values, Defended Kayla Bergs mother from Cosmic Light's near fatal youtube comment.

And as far as I can tell, the horror video didn't even have anything to do with Kayla other than being about a kidnapped girl. The actress really looks nothing like her, it seems to be about a woman kidnapped from a mall by a stranger while Kayla went missing after spending time with friends . . . Not to mention the guy's acting is kinda mediocre. Surely even a quick look at the channel would show that it's not real. Any grief it cause the family is 100% on the people who decided to make a big deal out of it before doing any research.

It's not connected at all, the family just thought it was because of the way the horror video was done, but many other families could probably say the same thing about their missing loved one in reference to that horror video

Nah, she wants someone who made a movie to be put in prison. She should have to go for suggesting it

@@Mark_87 Nah, she thought it was a prank at the time. Her response was understandable. You should be sent to prison for suggesting it.

Maybe the girl could, but from the first second of the video I could tell that dude was faking.

The Guy was too much of a nice Guy. Doesn't have a sinister bone in his body. The kinda Guy who's Mom is really proud of him for turning out to be a decent Fella.

I disagree, the guys voice sounds obviously fake imo.

​@squid iddly Please explain to me how them making that video was fucked up? I mean they were *amateur short horror film makers* ffs, that's kind of the point for them making it. Not to mention it was one of a *series of videos* that they made, they were all different and didn't all focus on the exact same subject. Also, they never said/gave any "hints" that the person in the video was Kayla or that it was a skit based off of Kayla's disappearance. Hell they most likely didn't even know about the case of the missing girl at the time. Ever heard of ARG's and peoples growing fascination with them? I can't remember the name of that "newer" one that came out, was either "vanishing sun" or "where did the sun go" or something like that. Can't remember and simply too lazy to google it lol. Anyways, all I'm trying to get at is that shit like this happens all the time. Just because someone that's desperate to find their loved one ends up seeing a video that makes them gain false hope/believe that they finally found said person that is missing, (not that I blame them for feeling that way) ends up realizing that the person in the video wasn't actually them, doesn't warrant the family calling for those involved to be convicted. To me I don't think blaming the poster and claiming that it was made as a "prank" or "to deceive them" is the right thing to do. At least imo that is.

@@darkwoods1954 Agree, but they obviously felt bad, and the fact that they did apologize shows their decency.

To be fair, there are people who complain about torture scenes in professional movies too. But, I call bullshit on you. If the girl didn't bear a strong resemblance with Kayla, no one would've paid attention to the video. It's specifically because of that resemblance that the video got attention. So quit pretending that it's because people are against independent films.

@Henry K. Hill Have you turned on a T.V. recently? Anytime some woman goes missing we hear about it. And this video resurfaced in 2016, in an era where missing person's cases would've been covered. Remember when Kelsey Berreth went missing? Or Mollie Tibbett? Both received national attention and they weren't the only ones. So yes, people in the media would've thought Kayla when they saw a woman who bore a resemblance to a missing woman that looked like her. There are people who still believe that Kate Yup is the still missing Karlie Guse because of a perceived resemblance.

Yup - he's fishing for words a couple of times and is not that convincing in his attempt to portray the "insane misogynist"...

@Alexander It's definitely about immaturity. Some guys don't want to grow up and will go hang out with teenagers.

Some men always prey on younger girls. I remember many older dudes trying to pick me up, show me their dick, being gross, etc. It is sometimes hard for me to believe there are decent dudes out there but I know they exist.

It goes both ways. Alot of young girls want to get plowed by older guys

MrSh4des shouldn’t older men know not to “plow” underage girls though... doesn’t really matter what a child wants if it’s illegal

What's wrong with the parents of young girls who wants to be with dudes that age? Not that I ever would think about something like this but I realized girls as young as 12? stare at me like.... It's scary...that made me realize how important it is to educate yourself before becoming a parent.

Thank you!

Can’t believe I didn’t think of that- simple, yet cool! I keep expecting him to say: “See you on the flip side” then remember that that one’s already been taken.

I expect royalties haha.

Scaretheater?

@@TheChugg11 oh whatever! You believe ANYTHING he says..lmao see what i did there?

Oh nice. I need him to do this now.

Im sure the officers looked into it if it was possible. would have been one of the first things they did.

@Nick Hord It doesn't matter. Those kids weren't targeting her or her family. I can understand that she took it personally at first because she thought it looked like her daughter but after it was confirmed that it wasn't her and that those people didn't even know of her or her daughter's disappearance (which is likely - they were in NY and she was in Wisconsin) then it's time to move on

@Nick Hord doesn’t matter, we have a thing called free speech here and he’s a 100% right

Murica!!

@@urban1337 The US needs to protect free speech with everything possible. In Europe, we already sacrificed it to the irrational Karens and it's a damn shame.

When you have a missing family member, you have to check out every possibility. Boohoo, he was suspected of a crime and was found innocent, big deal, didn't have much effect on his life other than making his crappy little video more popular, giving him the fame he had wanted. That mom lost her daughter. She has every right to look into any video that has someone who looks like her daughter. If she hadn't had that video checked out, all of you would be in here complaining how stupid everyone is not to look into it. You all just want to complain and whine and insult others. You have no idea what it's like to have a murdered family member as some of us do.

It's impossible to go over 100%... except in this case where your 1000% is right on.

IKR. She's a minor. Why is a 24 yo man with her? Huge red flags everywhere.

Agreed. Parents try too hard to be their kids buddy instead of being an actual parent. My parents never gave me such choices and I am grateful they didn’t. I’m in no way blaming this young ladies parents for what happened however they should have kept a better eye on things. Just my opinion.

😂😂😂

You might be right on your third pick.

Thank you!

Same!!

me too :)

I'm sick on a Friday doing the same, but I'm really hating that echo in the audio. Especially with having sinus issues now it just hurts my ears.

The mother should have been less emotional about that video and more rational about her duties concerning parental guidance. Of course, I am not blaming her for this horrible crime.

@@cesarincamendozaloyola4407 Her child is missing and she was told this video may contain her daughter. You'd be emotional too.

Thank you!

Don't go researching just how many people go missing every year or your bafflement will turn to shock, then paranoid fear for yourself and loved ones.

Technology was much different and far less developed when Kayla disappeared in 2009. Also she was from/in a very small town. Antigo Wisconsin had a population of about 8,000 people at that time. It would be highly unlikely the town's leaders would be spending money - from their very small budget - on aurvellience systems.

@@affluentimaginings Yeah, it's mindboggling how many people go missing. And I just looked into one country. Can you imagine how many go missing globally?

Thanks Kendra!

Cheers!!

How is it very mysterious when it was clearly kevin

Thanks Justin!

The issue is that Kevin didn't try to do everything to find her.

One thing that I've noticed, too, is that sometimes it seems like there's a catch-22 for the significant other or even friends of the missing person/victim. On one hand, if you are super cooperative with law enforcement, don't ask for an attorney, help in the search, try to be as much in-the-loop about any new breaks in the case, etc., then you could be seen as the Bad Guy. On the other hand, if you hire an attorney (just being smart, as you mentioned), want privacy while you grieve/mourn, don't want to be harassed by LEOs, etc., then you're *also* seen as the Bad Guy. It's a scary situation that I sure as hell wouldn't want to be in (for numerous reasons, obviously).

@@CelticVictory the issue is that kevin's story of dropping her off at a house no one lived at is a lie

I never said that it wasn't. I don't believe she was ever in Wausau. I think it was just a lie so they wouldn't go looking in Antigo.

Thanks Michael!

Exactly. One young small girl with 4-6 older dudes? All with heavy drinking and drugs? Recipe for disaster.

Appreciate that!

Art imitating life?

Hahahaha
