Being a child of the 80s/90s, and growing up in a small neighborhood, We had a lot of independence and freedom from a pretty young age (young as in 5 or 6). With no parental supervision, we were allowed to walk around or ride our bikes up and down the street and we really didn’t have any limits as to what we could do or where we could go as long as we stayed in our neighborhood. We would tell our parents where we were going initially but It was not uncommon at all for us to start at one friend’s house and end up at totally different place. Thinking about it today, it’s insane to think about how our parents normally had no idea where we were, what we were doing, or who we were with 95% of the time.

We are created sheltered and sick children that have no social or coping skills and also lack imagination.

The box of Barbie dolls given to her by a little old lady a couple of weeks beforehand, the pretending to run away to her 'new family' and the fact her body has never been found raises the hairs on my arm. I would have been looking into all the women in the area who had suffered the loss of a child in someway, whether through death or separation of some sort.

I think it's definitely interesting the things she said to her parents. When you put it all together it definitely does sound suspicious. I know as a mother myself, none of this would be an immediate cause for concern because kids do say these kinds of things. My kids have brought toys, bikes, and coins home that I did not give to them saying someone gave it to them. But if my kids ever went missing I'm sure I'd start overanalyzing every single thing. It could mean something, it could mean absolutely nothing. It's hard not to link every little detail to your missing child I'd imagine.

Yeah that’s what’s getting to me about this case so much of it just didn’t make any sense to a degree. Like why wouldn’t they check with all the old ladies or idk try with those dolls now? I’m sure they’re gone but I can’t help but feel like they missed a lot of tiny key pieces of evidence that in the long run could’ve solved the case by now? You know?

There's no such thing as a safe neighborhood. There are neighborhoods where people have a false sense of security.

I think there’s a lot more to the Matthew Curtis lead. I think it’s more than just highly disturbing, but also rather telling that he stated “if I was involved in her disappearance, you would never find her”. That’s not something an innocent person or a person with a sane mind would say. Even if it doesn’t serve as an example of him being involved, it is very telling of what kind of a person he was. The idea of him being ruled out as a suspect because there was no trace of LeeAnna or because his house was in the opposite direction from which LeeAnna was walking, I think, is a bit flawed. For one, even though Matthew lived a few houses down in the opposite direction, he still frequented the neighborhood and knew it well, and easily could have been prowling around the day she disappeared. Similarly, just because his truck wasn’t involved in her disappearance doesn’t necessarily mean Matthew wasn’t involved. I mean if he was looking at cp on his mom’s computer, he also could have been corroborating or corresponding with people nearby with similar interests. He could have been in chat rooms or forums and found other people who he could have formulated a plan with. I mean, that’s the kind of way this stuff often works. Human trafficking occurs because of networks of criminals like this, so who’s to say that Matthew wasn’t a part of one of these networks? I don’t know… I also find it highly suspicious and very telling that he took his own life the day of his court hearing. I wouldn’t be surprised if in time we come to discover he was more involved in this than we know. But at least through this case, the community was able to find out about what Matthew was involved in so it could be brought to light, for the betterment of the community and the safety of everybody’s children.

Did they not test the Barbie case and Barbies for fingerprints and DNA?

The monster thing is common and the I'm going to runaway too--but her new family comment would have made me ask lots of questions. The Barbies too; yes its common for kids to 'steal' from friends but you ask where they got them and if they don't confess you call ALL the friends and return the toys and use it as life lesson.

That is strange that they didn’t look into this. I know I would of. My mom would, we had a neighbor that would buy me stuff. I remember she asked me where I got this. Our neighbor was just a super nice person.

In 2003 or 1993 or 1973 , I'm not letting my 5 year old walk a block and half to a neighbors house thay I hadnt even coordinated with prior too.This just doesn't make sense at all. I hate this for LeeAnna 😢

I’ve watched a lot of missing person / true crime content over the years, and have never heard of LeeAnna. It makes me sad how much coverage and media attention certain cases get vs others. For example, the amount of time, attention, and resources for Madeleine McCann. I think every missing child deserves that kind of coverage. Hope she is found soon ❤️

What do you mean irl? This is is real life, it did happen, their pain is real. This is not just a sad story you watch for entertainment...

I’m in MN and a 98 baby too. My sisters and I were always off in the woods for hours alone (mom had told us not to). We realize now that, that was bad. Heartbreaking that the mom will never know what happened, praying the rest find her/get answers.

I feel for this family. My brother went missing in 1987 and has never been found. I have never met him but it stays with me every day that I have a sibling out there that I could have a relationship with. My family deserves answers. We still hope that one day we will get them.

What are the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of?

One thing I LOVE about this family, is that they don't add to the rumor mill. If you have questions or doubts, Chris is more than happy to talk about her and what they know, and what is rumor. He will let you feel how you feel about it, based on the facts, not rumors. I pray this family finds her, they were forever changed in a moment.

Thank you for covering this, everyone here called her "Beaner" and we're still posting fliers for her. Many of us in the Iron Range of Minnesota know the family personally looking for her! ♡Minnesota doesn't get the recognition it should for our cases so seeing something talked about so close to home, as a community I think we could all agree, makes us feel less alone up here. Thank you Kendall.

I've been binge watching you all day, now I'm about to make a late dinner and watch this ❤

Something about your videos calms me. Lowers my heart rate. I am in the ER right now due to a really bad asthma attack (I was blue all over when they got to me) I can't leave here til my heart rate drops. So I came here.

@@DrPAngus what do you mean what? I had an asthma attack that almost took my life. Once I was in stable condition, the ER doctor told me I couldn't be released cuz my heart rate was too high. So, I came to watch a Kendall Rae video because it calms me down and lowers my heart rate so I could go home. (I really missed my fiancee and wanted to be with him. He had no way to me.) her video helped calm me

absolutely love your videos!! you were the first true crime youtube channel i’ve ever watched and your vids keep getting better and better!!

This is literally my biggest fear in life. Even more so than losing one of my children. The idea of not knowing if my children are in constant pain or fear is unimaginable. My heart goes out to this family.

No words for this family. Unimaginable. You do good work.

Thank you for covering this case. I grew up in Chisholm and this haunts the ppl of this town. ❤❤

All of these cases are devastating but cases of missing children hurt to the core. The pain and constant worry the family experiences is unimaginable. I hope your coverage helps find answers

I lived a few miles away when she went missing. She and I are the same age and she disappeared the day after my birthday. I grew up seeing her missing poster everywhere and I have always thought of her each year on my birthday. I just hope one day there will be answers. Please, if anyone knows anything, tell someone. This has haunted our small community for over 20 years.

My heart is so sad for this family. I'm so sorry for this family to have to go through so much pain. A loss of a sister and mom. Horrible for this family. Sending healing prayers

Thank you for covering this case!! Love you Kendall, I hope you have a great weekend ☀️

So happy that you covered this!!! It has been so long since she's been mentioned!!! Thank you for this!!!

So very heart-wrenching! Love NCMEC!

omg!!! a local case to me!!!! thank you for covering leeanna’s case kendall 🥰

JUST what I needed RIGHT NOW!!!

My heart and prayers go out for this family

❤❤❤ thank you for sharing this case

You're an amazing person. 👏 now time to get into this case

5 min in and I have chills. I’m from Duluth, MN and seeing you show the map of the Great Lakes gave me chills. I have not heard of this case. Thank you Kendall for bringing it to light.

I hope justice is found for this poor girl and that her mother is resting peacefully. Rip 🤍

This occurred in my hometown and has been such a mystery for all these years. Thank you for bringing awareness to the case, Kendall! LeeAnna's family deserve answers, justice, and the ability to grieve after all these years.

I live in chisholm. Thank you so much for covering this!!! And bringing more attention to this

Thank you for doing this case. I will never forget this case growing up on the iron range.

This is a case my family often spoke about growing up. I’m from this area (from Grand Rapids MN). Thank you for covering this case. We’re such a small area, and the missing children there often don’t get the traction on their cases that they deserve.

I ALWAYS AM SO HAPPY WHEN KENDALL DROPS A VIDEO ❤❤ I WAS LITERALLY BORED TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO WATCH THEN I GET THE NOTIFICATION 🎉🎉

God bless NCMEC and Kendall Rae and prayers for LeeAnna

Thank you for covering LeeAnna’s case, living in MN I know this case well. I pray her case is solved one day.

I’ve been watching you for almost a decade now, and to have you cover a case from where I live is surreal. LeeAnna and my sister did beauty pageants together, she definitely was a beautiful little girl and her family deserves justice.

Oh my goodness I can't imagine. God bless this family ❤️

Thank you for all the time & hard work you put into these videos. 💜

😢 this is 3 hours north of me and I’ve never heard of this. I’m praying for this poor family. Thank you so much for covering this.

I agree. Never ever let your kids be alone, not even for a minute at that age.

Over *FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND* views and less than twenty thousand likes is absurd. Y’all… when you watch these videos, *like them.* Its a free way to show appreciation to these people who put so much time and effort into making these for us. It helps to push the algorithm. It literally takes less than one second to do it. *Just do it.*

This story is so devastating. All of the what if’s must be so haunting. Best wishes for this entire family

I am not sure why, but this case made me cry. I am so sorry!!

Please, don't allow your young children to walk anywhere alone, no matter how close their friend's house is, or how safe you believe the neighbourhood to be. Always astounds me when I see children as young as five with no parent in sight. Their safety and wellbeing is your responsibility. Don't become a parent or have multiple kids if you can't handle this responsibility. And no Kendall, this has to be said, as a warning to other parents.

Yes THANK YOU its absolutely insane to me how irresponsible parents are who let's a 5 year old walk anywhere alone? Kindergartners literally are scared to go to school for the first time and cry and miss their parents so who would let their 5 year old walk anywhere alone I wouldnt even let my 5 year old play In the front yard alone.. wouldn't even let my 9 year old walk anywhere alone.. absolutely horrible

Kendall, you look absolutely STUNNING these days!! I saw your last episode of The Sesh w/Josh and it is inspiring seeing you talk about your healthy lifestyle changes and working out. I'm currently cleaning out my spare bdrm (which is currently my walk-in closet lol) and turning it into my home gym. Thanks for the inspo and all you guys do!

Such a tragic story 😢 I truly hope she will be found and that her mum can rest in peace ❤ It’s amazing what you do Kendall, it’s so important to keep these cases in the media loop and fresh in people’s minds.

I definitely walked to friend's houses arounf that age, when we lived in a small subdivision. It wasnt very far, across the street or doen the block. That poor mum

Thank you Kendall for being a voice to these people who most need it

My heart goes out to this family! I don't know what I would do if anything like that happened to my family. I hope they find peace, no matter the outcome

The effect LeeAnna going missing had on literally EVERYONE on the Iron Range is truly staggering. I always remember seeing her missing posters everywhere I went (I always remember seeing it specifically on a 25 cent candy machine, being she went missing when I was 6, in the Virginia bowling alley, about 15 minutes East, & it stayed on that machine until that bowling alley closed over 10 years later. Just a core memory etched into my brain). Even now in 2024, every time around Father’s Day, in every household, workplace, etc. for miles people will talk about wondering whatever happened to LeeAnna & hoping a miracle happens that she’s found. Especially after her mother passed. You almost can’t find anyone who lives in Hibbing/Chisholm that doesn’t know about this story, even to this day.

What a heartbreaking story 💔

Here so early ! Been a fan for years Kendall! 🎉

Crazy to hear a case that isn't super far from me and about a girl around my age. Really helps me connect more. I truly hope this is solved one day! ❤

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I really hope this family gets answers.

I was born in 1990 and walking by yourself as a kid was definitely the norm back then! I grew up in Los Angeles so I can only imagine how much “safer” it was to walk by yourself as a kid back then. I wouldn’t dare let my 9 year old son walk anywhere by himself now days just because times have changed so much but i vividly remember walking to the store with my sister in the late 90s and early 2000s.
