  1. Really solid detective work…..wow

  2. That's so weird that It Is basically like claiming over the phone that you lost your phone and realizing you had It on your hand upon your ear.

  3. The LAST police I want looking for me is the dumb azz police of Houston. 8 years, multiple interactions with the kid, you're doing an investigation & you take her word that the child you're talking to is NOT the child you're looking for? Fired!

  4. I think someone was looking for him and that's why his mother reported him missing. His brother was killed right before he went missing. His mother reported him missing and he was using different names it really seems like someone was looking for him and eventually found him.

  5. I AM TOO HIGH FOR THIS.

  6. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

  7. This tells me that there was never any real investigation going on, and I feel for all the families of any missing person who's case is being handled by this 'police'.

  8. They would have already locked his dad up😂😂😂

  9. That's pretty easy why the cops didn't investigate this. They're POC. White cops don't care about them unless they're white. Every time someone is missing that is white, they'll blast that on the news like they're some celebrity

  10. How embarrassing for those cops 😅 . Thats a big L

  11. Whose saids that after years of abuse towards this child. He's not being brainwash by his mother and cousin to stay quiet and not speak the horrible truth. And prorect them from being punished.

  12. Wait so his family thought the person that was with her was her nephew

  13. False allegations is a charge

  14. Did they say saw him???? They saw his face, but he gave fake name so they kept searching??? WHAT???!!!

  15. They should hold both of them responsible for all the resources used to search for Rudy. This smacks of fraud no matter how you look at it. Ridiculous. 😬🙄🤬

  16. False reporting and resources put into this case cost our taxes money. Someone have to be accountable for this mess.

  17. If I'm confused then someone is lying. Unless it's a scientist or my doctor.
