I managed this complex for a few months after this happened. So very sad.
Her mom ended her own life in 2022 along and later followed by her friend who was helping her try to speak out about human trafficking. People shouldn’t be so harsh on the Mom for her words in Frankie…She suspect Frankie had something to do with their deaths.
The second I listened that she was "dating" a Black guy, I knew she was not "normal." 100% She was prostituting but her mother doesn't want to admit it. The victim was driving him around and paying for him, typical gullable girl that needed attention and did whatever the boyfriend wanted. I live in Las Vegas and work in the casinos for almost 25 years and trust me when I tell you this : If you see a White Girl with a Black Guy, 99% of the time she is a Prostitute. Sorry if the readers are upset for what Im saying but All The Pimps are Black. If you see them together, then she is working.
The Morale is to raise your daughters better so they don't fall for these guys. Ever.
This lady committed suicide sad
Frankie was the bottom bitch
She’s grown. She made her own choices. Muma is in denial.
Dilbert is right.
You guys are all wrong I was actually a very close friend to her and to Frankie and know all the details and you guys are completely wrong and the news doesn’t even know the correct details. That’s why it’s been seven years and there’s still no evidence so chill out if you guys don’t know.
And now 2 mothers one of which is a judge who reported him for running an underage nightclub end up dead. Yo this guy is pure trash and a murderer.
Did Sydney mom really get found dead from suicide recently?
Mentally health ppl don’t just say wow prostitution is so much easy than waiting tables? Lol
This story got so much deeper. The mom committed "suicide," then the mother of the other girl who was a judge who tried to fight sex trafficking was just found dead of "suicide."
This story saddens me. However, I'm emotionally exhausted. I have no more empathy left for stupidity. It sounds unsympathetic, but stupid is, as stupid does.
I can't imagine not loving myself enough to at least, not put my life in danger. I suppose, I was lucky to grow up with a father who loved us, and taught us how to love ourselves. He schooled us on how to take responsibility for our actions, too. My parents kept us in check, along with the neighbors, and our teachers, and anyone else who saw us being bad. These women tried to protect their children, and it seems IMPOSSIBLE to get justice, these days.
Drugs and alcohol have ruined our society, along with technology. That is a truth no one wants to admit, or change. They're unmanageable. Both have been abused, and glamorized to the detriment of our children. We have an entire generation of falsely, empowered, and entitled kids, who think they are adults. Cell phones are causing them to become mentally and emotionally retarded. I've come to loathe alcohol, the most though. The chaos it causes is unbearable.
JUST SAY NO…Nancy Reagan.
If your child is slipping away, as a parent pull them back. It's your job.
Not gonna lie. Young girls are way to easily manipulated. It's scary.
He did not have a car she means he was black.
Mom looks like racist
Police are in on it
Fucking cops didn’t do nothing
This barely skimmed the depth of this story of the corruption involved.
sydney was walking the blade
they got killed by robbing there tricks and killed them he didnt want nobody fuckin his girl..he used to let her go out with guys but didnt sleep with them they robbed them
RIP Connie Land. ❤️
Valentine is the shooter
Just another day in Vegas
There was a ring camera…check that camera.
I know these people generally (they went to the same school I attended) so I've been following the story. Crazy that all of this was going on and it's still not solved. Lots of corruption in Vegas so who knows what the truth is. Perplexing that LVMPD can't solve this case.
Another Mudd shark who got what she asked for
walking the blade get you kilt
It’s sooooooooo sad that the entire time I’m thinking her boyfriend killed her because how they speak on him whole time he’s dead too , I say that to say this she made every decision on her own dated the person she did hung with the people she did because of her stop blaming that man and making him seem so bad because he’s also laying dead next to his white girlfriend but yet still being talked down apon I really like you guys but this was sickening downing this black man
Cops should not have discredited the friends theory ! It’s very possible the pimp took out his competition ! Pimps become very violent when they might lose their biggest money maker !!!
6:44 ouch
Obviously anyone who was in that apartment on the camera in the hallway is a suspect
Why did he get off of Donald so fast
Neo was a good kid smile on his face always laughing he wasn’t like this.. Vegas is a wicked place. If you are in it you understand.. RIP young homie.
What a lack of common sense.
Oh the mom wants the “frumpy, basic nerd” to help her find it what happened to her “angel” daughter. Imagine that.
That mother has a lot of nerve calling anyone basic or frumpy
Honestly, I feel as if I'm "Kate" knows somewhat more that she had said
why are they blaming neo? he was a kid who got killed. he might have made some bad choices but nonetheless a kid
Yea I think I'm gonna stay at home more often now. The partying life can do you dirty real quick
Something ain't right… so much evidence and no leads?
I bet frankie had something to do with it.
There is a lot of cockiness I'm reading in the comments. I have a kid who is almost 19, a guy, who grew up in a good neighborhood. It would be a culture shock for him. And I'd have to make sure he knew certain things. This girl was pretty young (I knew fuck-all til I was thirty and I was on the streets). And she hadn't been in that environment. You can get sold a dream in Vegas easier than you think. So please don't blame her for her death and "she made her own decisions." If you're conned, you are making decisions based on false information, right? I can tell you nobody said to her: "You should be a hooker." But there's a very good chance someone was getting some of her money, probably Neon in this case — and he was a smalltime con artist. Las Vegas is the conman capital of the planet. (These guys probably knew each other and a rivalry developed. It probably stemmed from drugs, but it could have been over which girls work for whom. It was a "business.")
EVERYONE: I just want to say if you are going to Las Vegas, be very careful. If you are moving there, look into the crime rates of the area you are thinking about. North LV and East of the Strip are generally more dangerous. But there are other pockets elsewhere as well (e.g. up around the Stratosphere). And even in the good areas, there are shootings occasionally. I lived in Vegas for years and was prominent in the media. I was all over that town at literally any time of the day or night. This poor girl was naive. Young and naive. It's okay to say she made her own choices, but if you don't know what you're doing you can get hustled. I had young women working for me in Vegas who just didn't get it. One was literally almost raped IN a nightclub. The parking stations behind the casinos are huge and "lonely." Ladies, NEVER let your drink (or handbag) out of your sight. It's a date-rape-drug city. I personally knew at least one girl this happened to. Go to the Strip. Go to the casinos and clubs, but be vigilant and careful. Don't do things alone. Watch out for each other. Tourists skate on the fun surface of LV — and yeah, it can be a ton of fun — but just under the ice it's all sharks. I interviewed many people with my work. I know of a lot of very ugly things that happened (and yes, there are still some mobsters in Vegas). And just about everyone in Vegas has a "great idea" that's going to make them rich. And a lot of them "need investors" wink wink. People lie like nowhere else I've ever known. If you don't know someone you're talking to there's a good chance they're feeding you a lot of BS for one reason or another. And locals are only a couple of people removed from everyone else. It's almost like a small town in that respect. So, when you live there, you will bump into people you know often if you hang around the Strip and Downtown. Which can be great. But not if you are on bad terms with someone. Make sure your friends are good people. Prostitution is legal in most of Nevada but not in Vegas. You're a target. I know about that world too. I'm not encouraging anyone to hook or strip in LV but if that's what you choose to do, do your homework first. Some places are run like businesses, others can put your life at risk. And if you work for yourself as a hooker, well you can be walking into anything. It isn't worth the cash. And if you're on the street the cops will bust you sooner or later. I felt safe for these reasons: I'm a guy + I was in my 40s + I worked in media so reporters and editors told me everything I needed to know when I arrived + I didn't think I was smarter than Vegas + I'm fit and I'm kinda "mean" looking + I grew up in a bad part of a big city so I have some street smarts and I'm always aware of who's around me. At my interview for the job, the president of the company gave me this advice that I never forgot: "If we hire you and you move here, be careful. If you have a vice — I don't care if it's girls, boys, drugs, alcohol, gambling, smoking… anything! — this place is oxygen for them." And that's totally true. I am very self-disciplined but I was working insane hours and took up smoking again and lived off Red Bulls. Fortunately not cocaine or booze. You are NOT smarter than Vegas. Vegas was built on crime by criminals and the entire place is about cash and sex. Nothing is produced there. It's a true cash economy. Sorry for the long post, but it might save your life. Have fun, stay safe. 🙂
it’s really sad what happened to the girl but sydney had a choice and sydney made a choice so the mother need not bash the other girl to uplift her daughter
The judge in the case resigned recently; she supposedly obtained confidential info and threatened a witness in the case. Sucks for the families of the victims. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qDv7rHG1XE
