00:00She thought she found love.
00:05Twenty-four hours later, she was dead.
00:07Not because she cheated.
00:09Not because of an argument.
00:11Because she was too happy.
00:13She did what every bride does.
00:15She shared her joy online.
00:17One post, one picture, one hashtag.
00:20And suddenly, strangers knew the truth before she did.
00:25Tamara Ellis was the kind of woman people gravitated toward.
00:30She had a warmth that made strangers feel like friends and a kindness that ran so deep
00:35it was almost impossible to imagine someone wanting to hurt her.
00:40Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, she was the youngest of three daughters.
00:45Her mother, Denise, worked as a schoolteacher and her father, Harold, was a mechanic who ran his own auto shop.
00:52They weren't rich, but they were close.
00:56Family always came first.
00:59Tamara's parents taught her that hard work was the key to independence, and she took those lessons to heart.
01:06Even as a child, she had a natural drive.
01:10While other kids played outside, Tamara was inside, creating.
01:15Mixing oils, blending fragrances, experimenting with scents in her childhood bedroom.
01:20She dreamed of one day owning something of her own.
01:25By the time she was 27, that dream had become a reality.
01:31She built Ellis Essence, a thriving candle business known for its handcrafted designs and signature scents.
01:39Her business grew quickly, fueled by a loyal customer base and the kind of personal touch that made every order feel special.
01:47But no matter how much she accomplished, success didn't fill the empty spaces in her heart.
01:54She wanted love.
01:56Real love.
01:57And in a world that often ignored women who looked like her, love had never come easy.
02:04Tamara was a plus-size woman, confident in who she was, but painfully aware of how society viewed her.
02:11She knew the assumptions people made, the unspoken judgments.
02:16She had seen it in the way men treated her friends compared to her.
02:21She had spent years watching relationships bloom around her, wondering when it would be her turn.
02:27Her sisters had families of their own.
02:30Her friends were getting engaged, married, having children.
02:33And yet, Tamara was always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
02:39She was tired of being overlooked.
02:42She was tired of hearing,
02:43You're such a great person, I don't get why you're still single.
02:48And when Kendrick Rains entered her life, he made sure she never felt invisible again.
02:54They met on a dating app.
02:57Tamara wasn't the type to jump into things quickly.
03:00She had always been careful.
03:01But something about Kendrick was different.
03:04He said all the right things.
03:06He was charming, attentive, thoughtful.
03:09He made her feel seen.
03:11Their conversations flowed effortlessly, lasting deep into the night.
03:16He wasn't just interested in her looks.
03:18He wanted to know her soul.
03:21He asked about her business, her passions, her childhood.
03:24And most importantly, he never made her feel like she had to prove her worth.
03:29He moved fast.
03:31Within weeks, the good morning texts turned into lavish dates, surprise gifts, and unexpected visits.
03:40Tamara had never experienced a love like this before.
03:43It felt like a fairy tale.
03:45But fairy tales have a way of hiding the truth.
03:48Every time she hesitated, every time she wondered if things were moving too quickly, Kendrick would stop what he was doing, take her hands, look deep into her eyes, and whisper,
04:00No one has ever loved you the way you deserve.
04:04Let me love you right.
04:07And with those words, every doubt faded.
04:11Her past disappointments, the men who ignored her, the loneliness she had felt for years, it all disappeared when she was with him.
04:21She let herself believe that, this time, love had finally chosen her, and she never saw what was coming.
04:30Kendrick Rains was a ghost, a man with no past, no real name, no traceable history, because Kendrick Rains wasn't his real name.
04:39The man who swept Tamara Ellis off her feet had worn many faces before.
04:45Different names, different cities, different stories.
04:49To some, he was a business consultant, always traveling for work.
04:53To others, he was a real estate investor with a string of properties.
04:57Sometimes, he was a self-made entrepreneur, claiming to have built a fortune from nothing.
05:04Every alias came with a new backstory, a carefully crafted lie.
05:08But the truth?
05:10He wasn't a businessman.
05:12He wasn't an investor.
05:14He wasn't self-made.
05:16He was a predator.
05:17And his business was murder.
05:20Kendrick didn't go after just any woman.
05:23He had a type.
05:24Plus size.
05:25Financially stable.
05:27Women who, in his mind, wanted love so badly that they'd ignore the red flags.
05:32He played the long game.
05:35Studied his targets.
05:36Learned what they needed to hear.
05:38What they craved.
05:40And then, he became everything they had ever wanted.
05:44To Kendrick, these women weren't lovers.
05:48They weren't partners.
05:49They were investments.
05:51And once their purpose was served, they were disposable.
05:54Before Tamara, there had been others.
05:58Three wives.
05:59Three weddings.
06:00Three women who believed they had married the man of their dreams.
06:04Only one was ever found.
06:07The first woman, Nicole Dawson, was a successful hairstylist in Houston, Texas.
06:14She met Kendrick online.
06:16Just like Tamara, she fell fast and hard.
06:19They married in a small courthouse ceremony.
06:22Two weeks later, she was gone.
06:25Her family never saw her again.
06:27Authorities labelled it a runaway case.
06:30They believed she left on her own.
06:34After all, Kendrick insisted she had a history of mental health issues.
06:38There was no proof of foul play.
06:41No body.
06:42No crime.
06:43So Kendrick moved on.
06:44The second woman, Vanessa Greer, was a boutique owner in Charlotte, North Carolina.
06:51She married Kendrick in less than six months.
06:54Vanessa was different.
06:56She had suspicions.
06:58Shortly before she vanished, she called her sister and said something wasn't right.
07:03He won't let me check our bank statements.
07:06He's acting strange about life insurance.
07:09But before she could act on her doubts, she disappeared.
07:13No signs of a struggle.
07:15No forced entry.
07:17Just gone.
07:19The third woman, Melanie Brooks, was the only one found.
07:24Her body was discovered in a wooded area in Alabama, decomposed beyond recognition.
07:30She had been missing for nearly eight months before someone stumbled across her remains.
07:34No fingerprints.
07:36No cause of death.
07:37But her family recognised the wedding ring.
07:40And by the time authorities tried to locate her husband, he was already someone else.
07:46Each case followed the same pattern.
07:48Love bombing.
07:50Fast marriage.
07:51Vanishing.
07:53Every woman had one thing in common.
07:55Kendrick.
07:57But somehow, he always slipped through the cracks.
08:01He knew how to cover his tracks, erase his footprints, and reinvent himself.
08:06Tamara never knew about them.
08:10Because if she had, she would have never said, I do.
08:16What drove Kendrick?
08:19Some say it was money.
08:21Each of his wives had life insurance policies.
08:24Each had financial assets.
08:25And each one vanished shortly after saying, I do.
08:29Others believed it was power.
08:31A man who could take a life and walk away without consequence.
08:36A man who could rewrite his story as if his victims had never existed.
08:42But one thing was certain.
08:45Kendrick Rains was not finished.
08:48And when he met Tamara Ellis, he saw his next opportunity.
08:54His next investment.
08:55His next victim.
08:57What he didn't see.
08:59Was that this time, he would make a mistake.
09:03A mistake that would finally bring his past into the light.
09:08Tamara Ellis had always dreamed of the perfect wedding.
09:11A long engagement.
09:14A grand ceremony filled with family, friends, and laughter.
09:19A celebration of love, patience, and commitment.
09:22But that's not what she got.
09:25Because Kendrick Rains had other plans.
09:28From the moment he proposed, he pushed for speed.
09:31No waiting, no hesitation.
09:34Why wait for happiness?
09:37He told her.
09:38His voice, soft, persuasive.
09:41When you know, you know.
09:45He said the words with such certainty.
09:49With such conviction.
09:50That every time Tamara hesitated, she felt guilty for questioning it.
09:55She told herself that maybe she was overthinking.
09:58That maybe this was what love was supposed to feel like.
10:02Effortless.
10:03Undeniable.
10:05Electric.
10:06So, despite the tiny voice in the back of her mind
10:10telling her to slow down,
10:12she silenced it.
10:14She chose love.
10:16The wedding was small and intimate.
10:19Exactly the way Kendrick wanted it.
10:22A handful of Tamara's closest friends.
10:25Immediate family.
10:27A quiet venue just outside of Atlanta.
10:29But there was one thing missing.
10:32His family.
10:34Not a single member of Kendrick's side showed up.
10:38No mother.
10:39No father.
10:40No siblings.
10:41Not even a childhood friend.
10:43When Tamara's sister asked about it,
10:46Kendrick brushed it off.
10:47I didn't grow up with family like you did,
10:51he said,
10:51taking Tamara's hand.
10:53They're not part of my life anymore.
10:55I don't want their negativity ruining our day.
10:59Tamara nodded,
11:01squeezing his hand in reassurance.
11:02She repeated the same words
11:05to her own family later that evening.
11:08He's private.
11:09He's just not close to them.
11:12She believed it.
11:13She wanted to believe it.
11:15Because love was about trust.
11:18About not doubting the person
11:19standing in front of you.
11:21And so,
11:22with a radiant smile
11:23and a heart full of hope,
11:25she said,
11:26I do.
11:28That night,
11:29Tamara was ecstatic.
11:30She had found the love she deserved.
11:33She was no longer the woman
11:34waiting on the sidelines,
11:36watching others live out their fairy tale.
11:39This was her moment.
11:42And yet,
11:43something felt off.
11:46Kendrick wasn't acting like a man
11:48who had just married the love of his life.
11:51While she was floating in joy,
11:53he was calm,
11:55composed,
11:56almost distant.
11:58He held her,
11:59kissed her forehead,
12:00told her he loved her.
12:02But there was no excitement in his eyes,
12:05no nervous energy,
12:07no giddy laughter,
12:08no overwhelming emotion.
12:10It was as if he had done this before.
12:14Many times before.
12:16Tamara dismissed it.
12:18He was probably just tired.
12:20After all,
12:21it had been a long day.
12:23She curled into his arms,
12:26allowing herself to believe
12:27that everything was exactly as it should be.
12:29Because tomorrow would be the start of their forever.
12:33The morning after her wedding,
12:36Tamara Ellis woke up in a dream.
12:38For the first time in her life,
12:40she felt complete.
12:42She lay in bed,
12:44wrapped in crisp white sheets,
12:46staring at the wedding ring on her finger.
12:48It was real.
12:49It was real.
12:49It had finally happened.
12:51She was married.
12:53She turned to the other side of the bed.
12:56Kendrick was already awake,
12:58sitting at the small hotel desk,
13:00sipping coffee.
13:02Morning beautiful,
13:03he said,
13:04flashing her a soft smile.
13:07Tamara smiled back.
13:08She reached for her phone,
13:11eager to share her happiness with the world.
13:14She opened TikTok
13:15and uploaded their wedding video short clip.
13:19Her hair was still a little messy from sleep,
13:21but she didn't care.
13:24This was a moment she wanted to capture.
13:27She typed out the caption,
13:29her heart swelling with joy.
13:31The best day of my life.
13:34I married my soulmate.
13:37Happily.
13:38Married black love.
13:40She hit post.
13:42Within minutes,
13:43the likes poured in.
13:45Heart emojis.
13:47Congratulations from friends.
13:50Comments filled with love and excitement.
13:53Tamara scrolled through them,
13:55smiling at each one.
13:57This was what she had always wanted.
13:58But then,
14:00a single comment changed everything.
14:03Wait.
14:04Isn't this the same guy
14:06who married Nicole last year?
14:08Tamara frowned.
14:10Nicole?
14:11Who was Nicole?
14:13She clicked on the profile of the person
14:15who left the comment,
14:17but it was private.
14:19She went back to her post.
14:21More comments had started rolling in.
14:24Y'all,
14:25I swear I've seen him with another woman before.
14:27That man changes his name.
14:30Someone check missing persons reports.
14:34Tamara's heart began to race.
14:37The excitement.
14:38The joy.
14:40All of it vanished.
14:42Something was wrong.
14:44She clicked out of the comments
14:45and went to her DMS.
14:48A new message request.
14:50The username was unfamiliar.
14:53No profile picture.
14:54But the message froze her in place.
14:59Tamara,
15:00listen to me.
15:01You are in danger.
15:03You are not his first wife.
15:06She felt her throat go dry.
15:09Her fingers trembled as she clicked on the profile.
15:12And there,
15:13staring back at her,
15:15was a woman's face.
15:16A woman she didn't recognize,
15:20but somehow looked eerily familiar.
15:24Tamara scrolled down.
15:27Photo after photo.
15:29Pictures of Kendrick.
15:30Different names.
15:32Different women.
15:34A wedding picture from two years ago.
15:36Another one from five years ago.
15:39In every image,
15:40he looked the same.
15:42But the woman beside him
15:43never was.
15:44Her stomach twisted.
15:47Her vision blurred.
15:49She scrolled faster,
15:50looking for anything that made sense.
15:52Then,
15:53she saw it.
15:55Screenshots.
15:56News articles.
15:58Headlines that made her stomach drop.
16:01Local woman goes missing weeks after wedding.
16:05New husband vanishes after wife's disappearance.
16:10Authorities unable to track down spouse
16:12of missing business owner.
16:15Every story had one thing in common.
16:18Him.
16:20Different names.
16:21Different locations.
16:22But the same face.
16:25The same man.
16:26The man she had just married.
16:29Tamara's body went cold.
16:31Her mind screamed at her to move,
16:33to run,
16:34to do something.
16:36But she couldn't.
16:37She was still in bed.
16:39Still in the same room as him.
16:42And then,
16:43the realization hit her like a freight train.
16:46She wasn't safe.
16:48Slowly,
16:49she turned her head.
16:51Kendrick was still in the bathroom,
16:53his back to her,
16:54whistling softly.
16:56Completely unaware that she knew.
16:59She swallowed hard.
17:01Her hands gripped the phone.
17:03Her breath shallow.
17:03She had to stay calm.
17:06She had to be smart,
17:08because now,
17:09her life depended on it.
17:11Tamara's hands trembled as she clutched her phone.
17:14The room around her felt smaller,
17:17darker,
17:18suffocating.
17:19She had married a man she didn't know.
17:22The TikTok comments weren't rumors.
17:24They weren't just bitter strangers
17:25trying to ruin her happiness.
17:27They were warnings!
17:29And now,
17:30she had to act fast.
17:31She tapped on her best friend's contact,
17:34typing as quickly
17:35as her shaking fingers would allow.
17:38Something's wrong.
17:39Look at these comments.
17:40She added a link.
17:41Call me.
17:43She pressed send.
17:45Then,
17:46she stared at the message.
17:48Would it be enough?
17:49Her mind raced.
17:51She had to leave.
17:52Now.
17:53But she couldn't just grab her things and run.
17:56That would be too obvious.
17:58She had to be smart.
17:59She had to make him believe nothing had changed.
18:03So she took a deep breath,
18:05steadied her shaking hands,
18:07and turned toward Kendrick.
18:10He was still in the bathroom,
18:12humming a tune,
18:13the sound too calm.
18:16Tamara forced a smile
18:17and called out to him.
18:19Babe,
18:20people are saying the craziest things online.
18:23Look at this.
18:24She let out a small,
18:27forced laugh,
18:28hoping it masked the fear in her voice.
18:31Kendrick stepped out of the bathroom,
18:33his expression unreadable.
18:35She handed him her phone,
18:37watching closely
18:38as his eyes scanned the comments.
18:40For a moment,
18:42he didn't react.
18:44Then,
18:45his grip on the phone tightened.
18:46His jaw clenched,
18:48his shoulders tensed.
18:51Something changed in his eyes.
18:53Tamara saw it,
18:55felt it.
18:56It was subtle,
18:57but it was there.
18:59Then,
19:00as if flipping a switch,
19:01he smiled.
19:03Slow.
19:04Controlled.
19:06He set the phone down
19:08and exhaled softly.
19:10Baby,
19:11he murmured,
19:12shaking his head.
19:13You know how jealous people are.
19:16They see a happy couple
19:17and they just want to ruin it.
19:20He reached for her hand,
19:21but she didn't move.
19:23She forced a nod,
19:25hoping he wouldn't notice
19:26how stiff her body had become.
19:28You're right,
19:29she said quickly.
19:31People love to start drama.
19:34She had to get out.
19:36She couldn't sit here
19:37and wait for him to figure out
19:38that she knew.
19:40Tamara swallowed hard.
19:42She had to leave the room.
19:45I'm going to go grab some coffee
19:46from the lobby,
19:47she murmured,
19:48already reaching for her purse.
19:50A pause.
19:52A long pause.
19:54Kendrick's eyes followed
19:55her movements too closely.
19:58And that's when she knew.
20:00He didn't believe her.
20:02Her window of escape had closed.
20:04She had made a mistake.
20:06A fatal mistake.
20:08The next morning,
20:10Tamara's best friend
20:10pulled into the hotel parking lot,
20:12gripping the steering wheel
20:13so tightly,
20:14her knuckles turned white.
20:17She hadn't been able to reach Tamara
20:18since the late night text.
20:20That wasn't like her.
20:22Her phone calls had gone
20:23straight to voicemail.
20:24Her messages were left unread.
20:27Something was wrong.
20:29Heart pounding,
20:30she rushed inside.
20:31I need to check on my friend,
20:33Tamara Ellis.
20:35Room 214,
20:37she told the front desk.
20:38She's not answering her phone.
20:41The receptionist hesitated,
20:44but, noticing the concern in her eyes,
20:46called hotel security.
20:49Moments later,
20:50they unlocked the door.
20:52The room was too quiet.
20:54Not the kind of silence
20:56that comes with peaceful sleep.
20:58The kind that feels unnatural,
21:00hollow, wrong.
21:01The curtains were drawn,
21:04the air was stale,
21:05still,
21:06suffocating.
21:07And then,
21:09she saw her.
21:11Tamara lay on the bed,
21:12completely still.
21:14Her friend's breath hitched.
21:16Tamara?
21:18No response.
21:20She stepped closer.
21:21The sheets were too neat,
21:23too smooth,
21:24as if someone had carefully
21:25placed them back over her.
21:27She reached out,
21:28hesitated,
21:29then shook her friend's arm.
21:31Cold.
21:33Tamara wasn't sleeping.
21:35She would never wake up again.
21:38Panic surged
21:39through her friend's chest.
21:41She stumbled back,
21:42gasping,
21:43shaking,
21:44screaming for help.
21:46Hotel security radioed
21:47for an ambulance,
21:49but deep down,
21:50she knew.
21:51It was too late.
21:53Tamara was gone.
21:55Her phone was nowhere
21:56to be found.
21:58And Kendrick?
22:00Vanished.
22:00The investigation began
22:02immediately.
22:04Detectives combed through
22:05the hotel security footage.
22:08At 3 a.m.,
22:10Kendrick Rains was seen
22:11walking calmly down the hallway.
22:13A duffel bag slung over his shoulder.
22:16No panic,
22:17no rush.
22:19He walked out of the hotel doors
22:21and into the night.
22:22And just like that,
22:24he disappeared.
22:27As authorities dug deeper,
22:29they uncovered a chilling truth.
22:32Tamara Ellis wasn't his first wife.
22:34She wasn't even his second.
22:36There were others.
22:38Other names.
22:39Other cities.
22:40Other women who had vanished
22:41without a trace.
22:42A web of fake identities.
22:44A pattern of murder.
22:47Tamara had left a trail.
22:48A TikTok post
22:50that exposed him
22:51just before she died.
22:53Now,
22:54that post was evidence.
22:55And for the first time,
22:57the hunt for Kendrick Rains
22:58had begun.
22:59For weeks,
23:00Kendrick Rains
23:01was nowhere to be found.
23:03He had done this before,
23:04changing his name,
23:05slipping into another city,
23:07blending in with the world
23:08like a ghost.
23:09But this time,
23:11he had made a mistake.
23:13Tamara's TikTok post
23:14had gone viral.
23:15Her death wasn't just
23:17another cold case
23:17swept under the rug.
23:19People were watching.
23:21People were talking.
23:22And law enforcement
23:23had finally put the pieces together.
23:26The FBI,
23:27working alongside
23:28multiple state police departments,
23:30traced Kendrick's movements.
23:32Surveillance footage
23:33from a bus station in Alabama
23:34placed him there
23:35two days after Tamara's death.
23:38A security camera
23:39at a gas station in Mississippi
23:41caught a blurry image of him
23:42filling up a rental car.
23:44He had used a stolen identity
23:46to book a cheap motel
23:48in Louisiana.
23:49By the time authorities arrived,
23:51he was already gone.
23:53But he was running out
23:54of places to hide.
23:55His face was all over the news.
23:57His past was unraveling.
23:59And soon,
24:01there would be nowhere
24:01left to run.
24:04Thirty-four days
24:05after Tamara's murder,
24:07Kendrick Rains
24:07was captured in Dallas, Texas.
24:10He had checked into
24:11a low-budget motel
24:12under yet another fake name.
24:15But he didn't expect
24:16the front desk clerk
24:17to recognize him.
24:19She had seen his face
24:20on the news.
24:21She called the police.
24:23When officers arrived,
24:24Kendrick tried to run.
24:25But this time,
24:26he wasn't fast enough.
24:28He was tackled,
24:29restrained,
24:29and taken into custody.
24:32The man who had silenced
24:33so many women
24:34was finally caught.
24:35But the fight for justice
24:38had only just begun.
24:41Kendrick was charged
24:42with Tamara's murder.
24:44But as investigators
24:45reopened his past cases,
24:47the charges piled up.
24:49The disappearances
24:50of Nicole Dawson
24:51and Vanessa Greer.
24:53The murder of Melanie Brooks.
24:55And as forensic teams
24:56combed through
24:57old crime scenes,
24:59they uncovered
24:59a horrifying truth.
25:01There were more victims.
25:03More women.
25:03Some who had never
25:05been reported missing.
25:07Some who had been buried
25:08under false identities,
25:10just like Kendrick himself.
25:12It was no longer
25:13just a murder case.
25:15It was a pattern
25:15of serial killings.
25:17A decades-long hunt
25:18for vulnerable women,
25:20each one lured
25:21into the same deadly trap.
25:24In the courtroom,
25:25Kendrick sat silent,
25:27expressionless.
25:28His attorneys tried
25:29to argue for a plea deal.
25:31But there was no deal.
25:32The evidence was overwhelming.
25:36The jury deliberated
25:37for less than three hours.
25:39And when they returned,
25:40the verdict was clear.
25:42Guilty,
25:43on all counts,
25:45Tamara Ellis,
25:46Nicole Dawson,
25:48Vanessa Greer,
25:50Melanie Brooks,
25:51and several unnamed victims
25:52whose stories
25:53would have been lost
25:54if not for Tamara.
25:57Kendrick Rains
25:58was sentenced
25:58to life in prison
25:59without the possibility
26:01of parole.
26:02His reign of terror
26:03was over,
26:04but for his victims,
26:06justice had come too late.
26:09Tamara Ellis wasn't the first,
26:11and she wouldn't be the last.
26:14Her story was a harsh reminder
26:16of the dangers
26:17that lurk behind
26:17a perfect romance.
26:20Online predators
26:21don't always look like monsters.
26:23They look like the man
26:24who holds your hand,
26:26the man who says
26:27all the right things,
26:28the man who promises forever
26:30only to take everything away.
26:33Quick marriages,
26:34whirlwind romances.
26:37They can be manipulated.
26:39They can be used
26:40as weapons.
26:41And for women like Tamara,
26:43love was the trap.
26:46Tamara ignored the signs,
26:48the rushed wedding,
26:49the missing family members.
26:51The questions
26:52Kendrick never answered.
26:54Because she wanted
26:55to believe in love.
26:56She wanted to believe
26:58this time was different.
27:00But love should never come
27:02at the cost of safety.
27:04Background checks matter.
27:06Trusting your instincts matters.
27:09And most importantly,
27:10when something feels wrong,
27:11it usually is.
27:13Ignoring red flags
27:14doesn't make them disappear.
27:16It only makes them
27:17harder to escape.
27:19If Tamara had seen
27:20the warning sign sooner,
27:21would she still be alive?
27:23That's a question
27:24we'll never know
27:25the answer to.
27:27But what we do know
27:28is this.
27:29Her story saved others.
27:32Her final post,
27:33her last desperate attempt
27:34to share her happiness,
27:36exposed a killer.
27:38She left behind a trail.
27:40A trail that ended
27:41Kendrick Rain's game
27:42for good.
27:43And maybe,
27:44just maybe,
27:46that was her justice.
27:48Tamara Ellis
27:49wasn't the first.
27:50But because of her,
27:51she was the last.
27:54Her story is a reminder
27:55that danger doesn't always
27:57look like a stranger
27:58in the dark.
27:59Sometimes it looks like
28:01the person who says
28:02they love you.
28:03So now,
28:04I want to ask you,
28:06have you ever ignored
28:08a red flag?
28:10Have you ever felt
28:11like something was off,
28:12but convinced yourself
28:13it was nothing?
28:14If you were in Tamara's shoes,
28:16what would you have done?
28:17Let's talk about it
28:19in the comments.
28:19your story could help
28:21someone else.
28:23And if you want to see
28:24more cases like this,
28:26stories of manipulation,
28:27deception,
28:28and the chilling reality
28:29of true crime,
28:31subscribe now.
28:33Because the more
28:34we talk about it,
28:35the harder it becomes
28:36for predators
28:37like Kendrick Raines
28:39to hide.
28:40Stay safe.
28:42Stay aware.
28:43And always
28:44trust your instincts.
28:46Because sometimes
28:48they're the only thing
28:49standing between you
28:50and the truth.
28:51and the horrifying
28:54Be Thought
28:54that it's
28:55the only thing
28:56that it's
28:56always
28:57that it ought to
28:57to be
28:58to bear
28:58to bear
29:00with your
29:08themselves.
29:09I hope that
29:10you can make it
29:10like that.
29:11Perhaps bug
29:12saying,
29:13maybe it's
29:14it's
29:16you don't
