Added 2022-09-12 20:29:29 +0000 UTCHello Hidden Gems! Usually we give you early access, but there's an urgency with the Rebekah Barsotti case and we can't wait to release this. Word on the street is that the Montana AG's office is investigating (FINALLY!) John and I want to put the information we've learned out into the sunlight ASAP.
This was my project. I wanted people to understand this case, and learn about Rebekah. I wanted to bring many of the facts together so we can understand what is happening in Mineral County, Montana. THANK YOU For taking the time to listen to Rebekah's story.
I'll soon post a podcast (audio RSS feed) version of this video, as well as an ad-free version for ya'll very soon. Until then #JUSTICEFORREBEKAH

The testimony of Rebekah’s life through her mother’s deep heartfelt commitment to sharing her daughter’s life story . Her mom’s name is Angela. Getting to know Angela has helped me have a tender heart for their whole family. Listen, learn and perhaps step forward in supporting women experiencing domestic violence, participate is educating our younger populations about what domestic violence is and how to become free as quickly as possible before one’s life is in danger. Beautiful family going through the most tragic loss.

2025-01-28 17:29:55 +0000 UTCVery heartbreaking. ❤️🩹 continuing to learn about Rebekah and domestic violence . Things don’t change if we don’t change. Sharing our stories about domestic violence frees ourselves and helps to release the shame we, as domestic violence victims, often feel.

2023-08-24 13:55:32 +0000 UTCSeeing Rebekah’s face and her sweet dog and mother finally brought this case alive for me. I felt utterly infuriated by the time I was done watching and when I have time, I want to watch more of the city council meeting, though I got the dismissive gist and feel of things during the footage you showed. Excellent visual storytelling, Lauren. Thank you for your compassionate + action-oriented heart!

2022-10-04 05:55:27 +0000 UTCBtw, I absolutely agree that is definitely a possibility. They even said the informant was a “he”.

2022-09-13 16:12:41 +0000 UTCLauren, you should be so proud of your work. If there is an award for investigative reporting I hope you are considered. Have you shared this with Kate Casey who recently interviewed Dr John? I sent her the link to your YouTube video. She likes true crime, her estranged father has a fictitious origin story (in his case something about fighting in Ireland)…

2022-09-13 15:57:48 +0000 UTCGreat question. As far as I know, it was a chance meeting. I did learn how he met and married his ex wife and it's quite an interesting story. Happy to share that in a private message with you. David seems to wear quite a mask.

Lauren and John Matthias
2022-09-13 15:55:07 +0000 UTCOh wow, these are great tips and leads. Thank you. I haven't read Krakauer's version of the Missoula rapes, but will dig in. I will also reach out to Laura Richards. Thank you Debi!

2022-09-13 15:54:52 +0000 UTCWe've wondered the same thing! There was a lot we didn't say, but we got a hold of David's cell phone records leading up to Rebekah's disappearance and he was in touch with Toth. At the very least--they were friends. I could see David telling Toth je saw her drown, and then Sheriff Toth decides that with his no contact order it didn't look good, so he covered for his friend.

2022-09-13 15:52:55 +0000 UTCI'd be interested in how David and Rebekah met and why she married him.

2022-09-13 03:16:32 +0000 UTCMontana, unfortunately, does have a monopoly on misogynist decisions and cover ups. 😢

2022-09-13 01:59:34 +0000 UTCLaura Richard’s, crime analyst formerly of Scotland Yard and founder of Pailidan (the world’s largest Stalking Advocacy service)would be an interesting guest on Hidden True Crime. She is credited for the passage of the Coercive Control law in the UK. Laura is also a podcaster and currently lives in Southern California. Lauren Matthias Lori Helis and Laura Richards are a perfect team👏👏❤️. I also have to add, once again, Jon Krakauer’s investigation of the Missoula rapes gives a great insight into the misogynist decisions and cover ups in that part of Montana.😉

2022-09-13 01:31:13 +0000 UTCI wonder if David Barsotti is the confidential informant who last saw her at the river… assuming there is an informant.

2022-09-13 00:25:12 +0000 UTCFinally AG’s office is investigating!
