I'm glad people are being kind, when a couple of other channels have done her story strangers bag on her, which is gross. Fremont county is small, and Lea was loved, Max is an amazing young man, and I pray God takes care of them all. And this pos is very uncomfortable in prison.

My heart dropped… and finding out she was “gone”… I was stuck in bed for days. It was a HUGE blow to the heart. She saved my life one day. She was such a SWEET human and she believed that all humans are inherently good (from what I gathered). I remember being super excited that she LOVED Studio Ghibli movies just like me.

No evidence no investigation… no care upon arrival. Cops just recently released surveillance that shows the lights in his place of employment were turned off right after he hit the ground. He was out of view but the lights were turned off by a third party. At first it was ruled heart attack.. it took 5 months for them to change it to homicide… they have no leads. Allowed all that time and evidence pass… have fought my family tirelessly and will not allow us to see the tapes… It is an entire cover up. I hope one day my brother receives justice.

If he was spilling his guts about these fantasies to the army it was certainly because he wanted to be kicked out, they always have to view things through that lens.

You have to go in and say something so disturbing that they just don't want you any more, even for menial work. I think most of what people tell military psych folks at 2 years in or less is typically mostly fabrication, and I think they realize the same. But they also recognize that if things have gotten to this point, this is someone committed to being useless to them until they're expelled and given that administrative discharge, so they just say, "you have a personality disorder" and get to work on cutting them loose

R.i.p to your brother

All of the stories told here are so difficult to hear. But something about this one really got to me. My brother is 44 and I'm 43. He means everything to me and vice versa. I see my brother in Maxx and myself in Lea. What a senseless tragedy.

The mom's call to the police... My god... That's the most heartbreaking thing I've heard.

Christopher Waide is a disgusting monster. Maxx is an amazing, dedicated brother and he is Lea's hero ❤

I disagree. I feel bad for Chris..I want to know all his motives to as why he wanted to kill a woman so badly? Im so mad that Maxx never asked him that.

You feel bad for someone who killed another person? You want to know why he has murderous intent towards females? And you were mad at the brother of the victim that he didn't ask why Chris wanted to kill a woman so bad? You've got to be joking, right?@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307

​@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307No "motives" justify killing an innocent person. Especially not because you're a demented pervert. Keep i in check.

I feel so bad for Lea’s family, especially Maxx, knowing that he would do anything for her

Maxx, you are the MVP here. To hold your cool like that and call him Sir when all you really wanted was to rip his face off...wow, so much respect. Sisters give your brothers a big hug today. That my friend is unconditional love. I wish much peace and love for you and your mom.

So sad😢 my heart goes out to this family. Thankfully there’s one less murderer out there, thanks to Maxx. Thank you for sharing this video. ☮️💖🙏

Max did a solid job of applying the Reid Technique.

😡 What a mistake! The plea deal should have been dependent on retrieving her body! 🤬

I agree but our system is broken and at least the guy down for decades.

There should have been no plea deal. The courts should have made him disappear.

Maxx, you should be a detective, what you did to get the confession was genius, well done. You got that POS. RIP Lea.

I live in Howard, Colorado. About 8 miles from Cotopaxi. This one is always surreal to see.. and hear others talk about this small rural area. RIP Lea. Maxx is the ultimate big brother. ❤️

How often do we see the actual murderer make a plea for their safe return on television or often take part in volunteers searches for them when they know exactly where they are

The brother wasn’t going 💪🏽am so glad he stood strong ❤

What a rookie mistake by the police, I mean really. That one is as old as the hills and they let him punk them. Simply add a clause. That if you lie or if you do not give us complete capitulation, this agreement is null and void. The legal team must have been asleep.

The police don't make the plea deal. The courts do.

The pain in her mother's voice, in the 911 call is tangible :(

That's what you call brotherly love. Praying you and other family and friends 🙏.

Heartbreaking. RIP Angel 🙏

I am so angry at law enforcement. They could have made that plea deal airtight, body for a lesser charge. Condolences to the Porter family.

Exactly. The prosecutor is an idiot for writing the plea deal with wording that allowed it to stand even without the recovery of her body.

Bro stfu you clearly don't know how this shit works and no one cares that she's dead, let's be real. They're only concern is making a case that'll stick they don't care who killed her, they don't care if the guy gets justice it's explicitly only for the fact of building a case for the day to charge.

exactly!!!! this is crazy

Woah that was a lot to absorb. Max you are the MAN! Max you are an amazing person and brother wow I’m speechless I’m also so so SO SORRY for your loss and your families loss and for the horrendous circumstances you endured while investigating/ uncovering the truth about your beautiful sister Lea ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

this is one of the best channels in youtube universe, great editing and narration! kudos man! and thanks

I started crying hearing that Mama screaming for her baby girl. I've got 3 teenage girls and I couldn't and don't want to imagine losing one of them.

I did the same thing when I was in an abusive relationship. I hid how bad things were from my mom and family/friends. When I needed them most is when I shut them out most. I just didn't want anyone to worry about me. Even though they should have been worried about me. Such an irrational thought process, I wonder why people do that in those situations. My heart hurts for Lea's family 💔

Your a hero and I think you did amazing how well you coped, how you got justice for your sister and she would be so proud of you! You really are a hero and I hope the scumbag suffers.

Well done brother! patience, dedication and persistence.

What a heartbreaking story , Thanks for your awesome channel!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

So heartbreaking, what an amazing brother! Uplifting prayers to the family 🙏❤️. That horrible monster doesn’t deserve to e see the light of day again!

you know how scared u gotta be to get bullied into calling the police on yourself ????? that brother is strong

I could NEVER have that self control…..that brother….is amazing….i would have attacked him long before Max tried….i am so so sorry for you loss but i admire your strength.

New subscriber… you rock, dude!!! Straight forward! Much appreciated!

They should've waited for him to say the location before signing the paperwork

in the beginning you can tell he’s lying, the constantly looking away, the stuttering, the straight face, heavy breathing. what a sick person its horrible that a human can even think like that and have the audacity to lie about caring about her.

I can't imagine this situation happening to my family. Max has the most respect from me. That's an extreme level of strength.

Maxx is such a wonderful brother! What he did for his sister was so altruistic that shows the bond they had and the love they had for each other . R.I.P. Lea 🕊♥️

Thanks for being direct… giving us the gist of the story.. much appreciated 💕I have little time to listen to drawn out videos.

I started crying when he closed his eyes as if trying to wake himself up from that horrible nightmare while he was describing how his sister passed. I’m so sorry for the pain inflicted on this family 💔 I hope they find peace in time 😣

Max is a super hero!! Everyone should have a brother like Max. So sorry for your loss.. Bless u and your family.

I dont think i could have done what the brother max did. What incredible strength and self control. Absolutely amazing that he could be so calm well facing that monster! Rest in peace to his sister

Max is so strong. That poor family, I'm truly heartbroken for them... But they are so, so strong. I can't stop crying after hearing her mother call 911 after the confession. I never want to know that pain, that poor sweet woman 💔

Heartbreaking 💔 We need more & more people like Maxx in this world… Rest in Paradise Lea 🕊️🙏🌹

Anyone would be proud to have a son like Max. He's a great brother and son, I just wish it could've turned out Lee was alive. It's heart breaking just listening to this, never mind going through it! My deepest condolences to Lee's mother and her hero of a brother, Max and to the rest of the family and friends 🙏

What a wonderful brother Max is. 😔

Wow! He still never told them where her body was?! Unbelievable. So heartbreaking. What a prick. And Max… my god. What an amazing man.

It’s a level of control over her and her family and he’s not gonna give that up unless it benefits him in some way. He’s a sick f*ck

What a hero Maxx is. ❤ Condolences to poor Lea's loved ones. Maxx did a great job.

Love all you do great journey. Much love
