The fact that’s they didn’t immediately dust the car handle, and the car seat latch for fingerprints is criminal! The fact that they didn’t mark off the the original footprints in the snow is criminal! The fact that they didn’t examine the baby, and try and warm him, and revive him, is criminal! This whole case reeks of police ineptitude!

You don't leave a child in a car. However, the tunnel vision of police and the failure of the examiner is reprehensible. The officer will believe she is guilty because accepting her innocence means a child died who might have been saved if not for the officer's incompetence.

when I was 25 years old, I had a one year old daughter in a stroller , I stopped to make a phone call and in one minute I looked over and my baby was gone. I lost it I stated screaming hysterically and ran right the middle of the road on the yellow line screaming and screaming . I then ran back to the phone and phoned the police, when a little boy on his bike came up to me and said did you lose your baby , and then lead me across the two lane HI way and about 100 meters across a field over a small hill and at the bottom there was my baby sitting on some sand. The moral of the story is if some one takes your child make the biggest scene and maybe the creep with drop the baby for fear of being caught

@MarieAnne. 2 месяца назад

I recall a case from 1994 where a 2.5 year old girl from Saskatchewan was found frozen by her mother. It was estimated she wandered out of the house shortly after her father left for work (about 3 am), and was found at 8am, so about 5 hours. She was presumed dead but was successfully resuscitated. However, this was unheard of at the time and considered a miracle by some. There have been other cases since, so that doctors do not usually declare someone dead (especially young children) until they are warm and dead. But this was 6 years after the Dusty Bowers case, and I can understand declaring someone dead when there is no breathing or pulse and his body is frozen.

@nlwilson4892 2 месяца назад

@@MarieAnne.Thanks for posting that. I remember that case and remember it being seen as miraculous at the time but could not remember the year. So when the Dusty Bowers case happened they probably did right by the knowledge of the time. They should have probably checked for a pulse as they couldn't be sure when she was left but it is very hard to check for a pulse on an infant and it would have been extremely weak.

@melissaharris3389 21 день назад

I think the defenses theory _is_ what happened because Julie told them. One of her brothers took the baby as some sick 'joke' to hurt her but it got out of hand when she did what any sane mother would and called the police. Her SIL likely told her they'd leave the baby somewhere to be found if Juile didn't tell anyone what happened. So she had a 'dream' or convinced them to look outside the city and lead the police to where she was told they'd leave him, probably only an hour before. The police officer assumed the baby was dead when he was actually extremely hyperthermic and he died hours after being found from lack of medical attention. Julie is likely the scapegoat for her narcissistic family and simply didn't (and still doesn't) believe that the police would believe her if she told them the bizarre truth.

@DeneenBarrow 2 месяца назад

When my baby sister was in a custody battle with her baby’s father, me and my friend saw the baby in the dad’s car and he was inside his house packing his clothes. He had taken the baby from my sister a couple of months before and refused to let her see her baby. After I saw him in the car, I opened the door and got the baby and took him to his mom. She immediately left the state and went to where our family lives. It doesn’t take long for a child to disappear

Mom didn’t do that again. The young woman said I just wanted to see the baby. Frightening.

They called up a taxi and the loud large woman taxidozer said she'd take me to Soux St. Marie, I asked how much, she grabbed my walled and snatched out every cent I had and she sad "THAT MUCH, KIDDO" while they all laughed like drunks. The cops thru my bags in her car and she took me there. I asked to stop to go to the bathroom and she literally near knocked me down to get there first, actually elbowing me to get past me. She was a pig, smoking in the only stall while I was dying to go and she let me go in finally let me go in. She called on her radio to a woman who had a hotel and she told me I had to clean rooms for a few days to pay for my room. I never forgot those cops, just evil. One kept licking his fat lips so I was glad to get out untouched. ACAB. Quite the little scam they have going. A real little money money maker when you catch the right young girl at night. 4 of them and 1 of me!😢😢😢😢

@melissaharris3389 22 дня назад

He can't own up to the fact he probably killed the baby by assuming he was dead when they found him instead of taking him to get medical attention as he should have. It's easier to continue to assert the Julie killed her own child to avoid his own incompetence and culpability. That's why the police never investigated further. They knew a new investigation would uncover more incompetence and that their officers essentially killed Dusty through neglect.

Losing a son to a drug overdose is no comparison to what occurred here unless you gave your son the drugs, not to mention you probably never faced the prospect of life in prison because your son died. Her giddiness is based on not have to spend her life in prison. At the time of the verdict her son’s murder had occurred two year’s earlier and by that time her expressions of sorrow would have shifted to times when she was in private and/or alone. Losing a child to death, whatever the reason is one of the worse experiences in life, but one cannot scream, cry and tear at one’s hair IN PUBLIC forever more without being committed.

One of the last lines from Julie “They know what they did and they’ll have to live everyday with it and look into their own kids knowing what they did” I have a feeling that Julie has suspects in mind when saying that. She believes there’s more than one and that they have their own kids. Honestly though what an absolute fumble with the “investigation “ you can’t even really call it that because there was no investigation. No taking the car in for evidence and running over it with a fine tooth comb, no taking impressions of the footprints in the snow or photographs, no fingerprinting the car seat buckle . Then having a coroner that bodgied up the timeline. Absolutely ridiculous this little baby deserved the best investigation possible.

@GameChanger597 24 дня назад

Yes and saying "the baby, the baby"! when she discovered her baby was missing is considered a distancing language in body language code not common with a desperate parent who might say "my baby" instead, and knowing EXACTLY where her baby was after having a dream is outrageous to believe plus the fact that she wasted time going to the police first to tell them about the dream instead of flying out of bed and going straight on her own to find him ASAFP is nonsensical in ever way.

@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys 4 месяца назад

I believe Julie, and it's good for her she was exonerated. They mentioned tensions and bad blood in her family which led up to the situation. The only thing you could blame Julie for is carelessness in not locking her car door with her small children inside, and I'm sure she learned her lesson. Was that other child of hers unable to speak for himself so that he could confirm whether his brother was sitting in the back or if he remembered another person entering the car to take the baby? That officer who assisted Julie in her search will obviously never admit to doing his job improperly so it's of no surprise he.says what he says. Despite his lack of support, there were a few disinterested eye witnesses to corroborate Julie's version of the story. I do believe Julie's dream came as a revelation from the spirit world.

I can remember being left in the car while my mother shopped or did whatever she was doing. I was born in 1975. It was a super common thing to do. No mother thought something bad would happen to there baby or I’m sure they would not have left them. Thankfully now we know a bit more and hopefully don’t make the same mistakes. Only now we are dealing with kids that can’t do anything on there own because we haven’t left them to make any decisions on there own. But that’s a different story.

What was the motive of the “perpetrator”??? Wasn’t to steal a car, then realize a baby was in back? Car was still there! The bizarre “premonition” seals the deal for me. How do you lead police right to the body after a bit of a drive??? I think everyone agrees Police messed up the investigation and could have done more, unfortunately, however your defence was saying your family was teaching her a lesson?? By fake kidnapping the baby?? If that was the case why take the child and hide him in a snow bank?! Her family members would have to be sociopaths to think of doing that. Interesting too how they had called out previously that she should not have been leaving her child in the car unattended. Kincardine is cottage country, surrounded by fields and forests. You have this vague vision of your baby laying near trees in snow… could have been absolutely anywhere yet … you somehow are able to take them to the area? If she truly didn’t do it, you would spend every waking moment trying to get justice for your baby; I’d like to know if after all this time how many times she pushed OPP for justice.. lastly…. Bad enough to leave baby in car.. however why would you at the very least not lock the doors??

@nlwilson4892 2 месяца назад

I'd be interested to know if the sister in law had any contact with her before she had the dream. It would be very easy to plant the idea of him lying in the snow by saying expressing how concerned they were and saying "I hope he isn't lying in the woods somewhere, lying cold in the snow."

@melissaharris3389 22 дня назад

I suspect it was the brother/SIL. They told her after the fact where to find the baby after they realized they were in deep trouble. She had a 'dream' and lead the police to where she was told to look. The baby was likely alive and in deep hyperthermia when found. The cop accidentally killed the child by not getting medical attention and won't admit he was not only wrong but likely caused Dusty's death through inaction.

Canadian Casey Anthony. I hate these defense attorneys that are experts at spin and doubt. They aren't wanting truth, they want to win. It's all a game to them This wonderful prosecutor had to be told he let a baby die, all part of the same game Jose Baez played. 'maybe the line operator who found the body did it!' The only people in America fooled by Jose Baez was that jury. All these years later, we see what Casey's father went through as the defense attorney used him as his game winner. I hope there is a hell for people like him.

im sorry, she did not dream where he was the only way she knew where he was, is because she left him there. the fact that the car seat was buckled without a kid in there is proof that she didnt have him when she went to the bank. did they question the kid?

A lot of shit in the case was f'd up but regardless, she killed the baby. Possibly had postpartum, her & the husband were weird & creepy. But she was definitely guilty.

I suspect it was a family member that took him and they told her they'd leave the baby in the woods to be found if she didn't tell police who did it. She led them out of the city to the general area she'd been told they'd find the baby. He was likely there for only an hour or so and could have been revived if the cops had gotten medical attention.

What's the reasons someone would abduct a child, a baby? ...because they wanted the child for themselves, to raise for whatever reasons, or a pedophile took him. No indication what so ever in this video that there was a pedophile involved. And if someone took the baby to raise for themselves, they certainly wouldn't have taken him to the woods and lay him in the snow to die. If the mother didn't do it, then what other reason would a person have to do this, other than what I mentioned? Either the mother did it, or a pedophile took him, or someone that wanted him for their own. No other logical reason. Unless.... some nutcase got ticked that she left the child alone in that car and to "teach her a lesson" they took the baby and placed it in the snow so the mother would "pay for her choice".

I BET SHE COVERED FOR HER OWN FAMILY OR THEY COVERED FOR HER...IF THAT FAMILY HAD FOLLOWED HER AROUND TO STEAL HER CHILD BEFORE WHYWOULD ANYONE HAVE DONE THIS UNLESS THAT TWIN BROTHER WAS A PEDOPHILE OR CHILD RAPIST OR WAS TOYING WITH THE PATTERN AND BEGINNING TRIAL RUNS AT ABDUCTING AND MURDERING ...IT STARTS WITH SMALL ANIMALS THEN CHILDREN OR BABIES THEN THE ELDERLY OR OLDER CHILDREN THEN ONTO DEFEBSELESS TEENS OR WOMEN BY AMBUSH OR BY SIMPLY BEING UNABLE TO DEFEBD THEMSELVES. WAS AN AUTOPSY DONE TO SHOW IF THE BABY HAD BEEN SEXUALLY MOLESTED OR RAPED ? I WOULD SAY THE PUT TOGETHER CHILD SEAT IS THE CASE ....DO YOU EVER PUT YOUR CHILD IN A CARSEAT WITHOUT BUCKLING IT? MAYBE YOU WOULD IF YOU KNEW FOR FACT THAT THE BABY WOULD NOT BE STRUGGLING TO GET OUT AND WHAT REASON WOULD THAT CAR SEAT BUCKLE BE LATCHED LOCKED WOULDNT YOU ALWAYS BE IN A STATE OF TAKING YOUR CHILD FROM THE CAR SEAT TO BE LEFT OPEN? HARDLY THE DETAIL A KIDNAPPER OR SOMEONE TEACHING HER A LESSON WOULD BOTHER TO DO...WHY LATCH IT BACK? UNLESS THIS WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAR SEAT WHO ELSE IN THAT FAMILY WOULD HAVE A CAR SEAT? DID THEY HAVE TWO CARS IN THAT FAMILY? DID THE AUNTS UNCLES GRANDPARENTS HAVE A CARSEAT FOR THE BABY? THEN THEY WOULD SIMPLY REMOVE THE BABY IN HOS CAR SEAT AND SWITCH THE CAR SEAT FOR THEIR EMPTY CAR SEAT.WHO WOULD MAKE SURE CARSEAT COVERS WERE CLEAN AND PUT BACK ON A CAR SEAT ? THE MOM THE DAD THE GRANDMOTHER AUNT ? THERE IS NO REASON THAT CAR SEAT SAFETY BELTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUCKLED UNLESS THE SAME MODEL CARSEAT WAS TAKEN WITH BABY STRAPPED IN AND PUT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME MODEL CARSEAT BASE AND PUTTING THEIR EMPTY CARSEAT INTO MOMS CAR....THIS WAS A QUICK EXCHANGE AND WHY WOULDNT SHE HAVE PLANNED HER BANK TRIP AROUND NAPPING BABY EVERY MOM KNOWS WHEN THEIR BABY IS SLEEPY ....ASK THE OLDER KID WHERE DID BROTHER GO? WAS BROTHER AWAKE DID YOU PLAY WITH HIM AND HAVE GIVEN THAT OLDER BROTHER A DOLLHOUSE THAT LOOKED LIKE THEIR OWN HOUSE THEN A CAR LIKE THEIRS AND A BABY SIZED DOLL AND CARSEAT AND FAKE SNOW AND STREETS AND HIM AND A MOMMY DOLL AND A DADDY DOLL AND ON THE SIDE A FEW MAN DOLLS AND LADY DOLLS AND LET THE OLDER BROTHER PLAY WITH THEDOLLS WHILE ASKING WHAT HAPPENED TO BABY BROTHER ...? WAS DNA ON BABY CARSEAT FOUND WAS DNA TAKEN FROM CLOTHING BABY WAS WEARING WAS BABYS BLOOD CHECKED AND COMPLETE BODY CHECK WHAT ABOUT URINE AND STOMACH CONTENTS WAS HIS DTOMACH EMPTY OR HAD HE HAD A BOTTLE OR BABY FOOD? HIS EYES WERE CLEAR AND THERE WERE FROZEN TEARS THAT ISNT MORE THAN THREE HOURS SO AN HOUR BEFORE MOM CALLED AND BY THE TIME THEY DROVE OUT THERE SO SHE KNEW AROUND WHEN HE WAS LEFT THERE...I THINK HER FAMILY WAS IN ON IT HER HUSBAND OR HER TWIN BROTHER FOR SURE...

Maybe the child was too weak to cry, but had anyone heard a whimper, they would have checked the body. The thing that makes the mother Julie appear quilty is because she knew where to find the body. That is bizarre no matter how you look at it.

@melissaharris3389 22 дня назад

They didn't intend to kill the baby. Likely they took him due to the internal family issues relized they were in deep, deep trouble once she freaked out and a search began. So the SIL told her they'd leave the baby somewhere to be found if she didn't tell the police who did it; then Julie lead the police there. The baby, as the expert doctor testified, was likely still alive and could have been saved if the police officer had gotten medical attention.

Dr. Woodward, Cornerstone Woodward Birchard Lib. Fremont, OH. BERCH Terrace Trailer Park (Terra Tech) school, Pennsylvania , BERCH Beer unique pop only from there, (a missing step sister blonde hair blue eyes). One BERCH Beer showed up as though popped in from Pennsylvania. Mickey. Barbara Jean jacket? Stamm School we would play Tennis at Stamm School. The ally here is Stamm Street. My "sister went to Stamm School. So, someone in this location may also have created false documents to access ?(insurance policies,Bank accts, health insurance or a fake family paired to look like another.

She leaves a baby sleeping alone in the car? What a dumb, crappy parent! It’s even Winter. Either she shut the car off and took the key, which the car would get cold very fast! Or she left the car running, unlocked with the key in, in which case they could get kidnapped or car stolen and kidnapped. Even though I don’t think that’s the truth anyway! Poor, little Dusty!

@rhondabrowder1875 Месяц назад

My mom's car door locks didn't even work back then. She left me an my brother in the car all the time to run into the store, the bank, ect... sometimes we were out there for hours summer and winter. There would be other kids left in their cars as well and we'd roll down our windows and talk and play with the other kids. Back then if a child went missing it was probably because they got lost no one ever thought of someone taking them. An infant can't walk off to get lost. But stories like this is why mothers today no longer leave kids alone in cars. If things like this never happened or no one ever knew about it mom's would still be doing it today .

@Bebecat477 5 месяцев назад

I feel the mother was guilty. The carseat buckles get me and taking the police to the body. And at the end of it all, who took the child, who has been charged? It was the mother in my opinion.
