Kim Langwell | Woman missing for 25 yrs FINALLY found under her Ex boyfriends HOUSE | Never give up!

what's up you guys welcome back to my channnel my name is Danielle Howen and I am back with another true crime video and today we're speaking about a case that is so tragic but I feel like it could also bring a lot of families hope it is the perfect example of why you should never give up on an unsolved case no matter how long it has been sitting on the shelf I feel like nowadays I mainly see current cases all over the internet in the True Crime world and of course those are important every case

is important but we can't can't forget the ones that nobody speaks about anymore the ones that aren't top headlines or fresh news or easy to sensationalize because those people still have families that are looking for them that are looking for justice I've just seen too many times when the media shifts its eyes to something new how it affects these older cases and the families that are tied to them how the tips slow down the donations slow down the support and that is one of the largest reasons that I have tried so hard to bring so

many cold and older cases to my channel whether that's what's trending in the True Crime world or not and I figured this was the perfect case to bring you guys today because you'll be seeing this right before my birthday and every year on my birthday I like to ask you guys to put donations towards the Cold Case Foundation it's a foundation that I donate to monthly I have for years now it means a lot to me I have always just been drawn to cold cases and trying to fight hard for these families that just don't

get nearly as much exposure anymore and the Cold Case Foundation is absolutely crucial in helping these kinds of cases they help to raise public awareness and they also create Partnerships um to help provide law enforcement with whatever resources they need in order to solve these cases all across the country so it's definitely something that I support and if you would like to give me a birthday present this year please even a $1 donation to The Cold Case Foundation would mean the world so today's video serves as a Beacon of Hope to families that have waited

decades for answers Justice can come answers can come and people still care so today we are speaking about the 1999 disappearance of 34-year-old Kimberly langwell whose remains were just found a month ago you guys and just formally identified I think a little over a week ago 25 years after she vanished so let's get into the details there's not much media coverage out there on Kimberly there's no huge Facebook page there's not a lot of details about who she was to those in her life but I will give you guys what I was able to find

Kimberly was a beautiful smart and gentle woman she was born on February 24th 1965 and she lived in Bowmont Texas which is a town just east of Houston for most of her adult life on December 6th 1983 when she was only 18 years old her best friend in the world was born her daughter Tiffany now being a young and single mother she knew that she had a tough path ahead of her but Kimberly never believed that there was ever a challenge too big with the love and support of her friends and her family she lived

an abundant and successful life now raising a daughter on her own she worked hard she worked day shifts and night shifts and weekend jobs doing all that she could to support her little family she had a great group of friends some of them were people that she had known for most of her life she had been in several different relationships over the years but so far nothing had been very serious her world just mainly revolved around her daughter now just before her disappearance she had gotten out of a long-term relationship but it doesn't seem that

this really got her down she was the kind of person who picked up and moved forward always positive about the future she was working at a local oil refinery at the time this seemed to be a really good job for her and that is where she ended up meeting her new boy boyfriend and her current boyfriend when she disappeared a man named Ken Weatherford and for the first time Kimberly seemed pretty serious about this guy according to friends she had even started to wear a faux engagement ring they had just gone on a trip to

Mexico together and he had a good relationship with now 15-year-old Tiffany Kimberly's daughter but in late summer of 1999 everything that Kimberly had worked for was ripped away from her and her family and friends lost one of the most important people in their lives all because of jealousy Friday July 9th 1999 Kimberly had been working at her job that day and got off around 5:00 p.m. at 5:15 she ended up calling her daughter Tiffany to let her know that they had plans that night Ken would be coming over and the three of them were going

to go out to dinner at around 6:30 p.m. but Kimberly told her daughter that she had to make a stop first so 6 months prior Kimberly had actually broken off a relationship with a man named Terry Rose and according to Kimberly she said she had to stop by his house for a little bit she wouldn't be there long and would head home immediately afterward by 6:30 p.m. Kimberly's new boyfriend Ken was waiting with her daughter Tiffany for Kimberly to show up at home so they could all go to dinner together and enjoy their Friday night

but minutes passed which turned into hours and Kimberly still wasn't home they had both tried to reach out to her on her cell phone numerous times but she wasn't answering which was also unlike her so according to Kimberly's sister she later went on to say that Tiffany decided to reach out to Terry Rose since that was the last place that she was supposed to go this ex-boyfriend's house now Terry allegedly told Tiffany that her mom had already left but suddenly he kind of Switched the tone of the conversation and the topic and he became angry

he didn't seem concerned that you know Tiffany was telling him Kimberly never showed up back at home he didn't ask how he could help like there was no worry at all all in what he was saying instead he turned things around and demanded to know why he wasn't invited to dinner it just seemed really really strange what he was focused on at the time now after this bizarre phone call with Terry Rose Ken and Tiffany decided to continue waiting for Kimberly hoping that maybe she just had an emergency stop to make she just hadn't called

them to let them know they truly believed there had to be an explanation as to why she hadn't shown up for dinner and they believed that any moment she would walk in the door but by the time 1 p.m. came around Ken decided that he needed to go out and look for her this was so unlike Kimberly so Tiffany stayed at home just in case her mom came back and Ken went to do rounds in Bowmont he checked all of the bars that Kimberly may stop at you know parking lots small stores she might go

to and by 10:30 p.m. he found her silver 1994 Nissan Ultima Ken said that her car stuck out to him because it was one of the only cars left in the parking lot in this specific shopping center her car was parked right outside of an ard's drugstore off of Dalin and faen road so he hopped out and took a look into the car trying to see if maybe she was inside if something happened to her um or if there were any clues as to where she may have gone because this seemed like such a bizarre

spot for her car to just be parked but she wasn't in there there didn't seem to be anything odd at all with the car itself so he assumed that maybe maybe she just decided to not go to dinner and instead was picked up by another friend she made new plans and none of that really sounded like Kimberly but no one ever wants to assume the worst in these kinds of scenarios so he went home hoping that she would pop up the next day now by 8:00 a.m. Ken was back in that parking lot of echerts

praying that her car was gone that she came back to get it that she was now safe at home but when he pulled in it was still there so right away Bowmont police were called to report Kimberly as missing they had given the situation the benefit of the doubt long enough and now they knew that something had to be wrong authorities went straight to that ard's drugstore parking lot to take a look at her car and see if there were any signs there that could lead them to where she may have gone but there were

no signs of a struggle there were really no clues at all in the car the only things missing were Kimberly her purse and her keys but strangely her cell phone and a few other personal belong ings like her makeup bag were left behind so they tried to figure out the most logical explanation to this so far but it kept leading them back to something had to be wrong here Kimberly hadn't mentioned needing to stop anywhere after Terry's but they also had to consider the fact that she was an adult and plans can change but even

when they looked at it from that angle it felt like that was pushing it so this particular store was way out of the way it was nowhere along her route to go home from Terry's and and so they didn't understand why she would have gone in that direction they also checked surveillance at not just the eords but other stores around it and there's no sign of Kimberly ever going in anywhere she had no reason to be in the shopping center parking lot at all now they also considered the possibility that she was picked up by

someone just like Ken had originally thought that she changed her plans just failed to tell everyone and went out with a friend but nobody that knew her had seen her or spoken to her at all and the last call that she made was to her daughter there was no other sign that she had been in contact with anyone to make different plans they also checked her bank cards and none of them had been used everyone who knew Kimberly personally knew that something would have had to happen to her against her will as I said before

her life revolved around Tiffany so there was no way that she would purposely run off or leave Tiffany behind someone would have to drag her away kicking and screaming and according to friends and family they're UNT fortunately was more than one person that may have had it out for her and so the first place that authorities wanted to look was at Terry he was the last person that she was supposed to be with and they had a rocky history and that is honestly putting it really lightly friends and family of Kimberly had nothing at all

good to say about Terry nobody liked him he was described as being obsessive possessive and aggressive three absolutely terrible character traits some said that he had initially seemed like a good boyfriend when Kimberly first started dating him he owned a record business and it was really successful but their relationship went downhill really fast Terry would call Kimberly when she was out with her friends and demand to know where she was he was 21 questioning her who are you with when will you be home what is going on and her friends heard all of these conversations

he wanted to be in control of every aspect of her life and her daughter Tiffany agreed with this she said that she had never liked Terry and her mom knew that she spoke of times when he would be forceful with her to remind her that he was in control it was a really toxic and dangerous relationship and just before they broke things off 6 months prior to her disappearance things had escalated even more Kimberly had a really good family friend um it was a woman and her daughter and she confided in them that Terry had

tried to strangle her to the point that she blacked out she said that in those moments she swore that she was about to die like she was preparing for it mentally but for some reason he stopped and she came too and it was at this point that she knew she had to leave him she had tried to leave him already several times but if you've ever been in any sort of abusive relationship you know that it's not as simple as leaving and I already know there's going to be so many comments on this video like

there are on every other video where everyone says just leave just leave as if it's legitimately that simple but Terry as I said would do all he could to stop her he would physically block the door he would threaten to kill her if she left him or ended up with another man it was a really scary situation and Terry was horrified for herself for her daughter statistically when someone tries to leave an abusive relationship that is the most dangerous time in the entirety of that relationship Kimberly was even scared enough that she told those close

to her that if anything ever happened to her she was buried in Terry's backyard which tells me that was probably a threat that he had made to her before because that is incredibly specific she also told people that if she ever turned up dead and someone tried to say that she ended her own life that was not at all the case but ultimately Kimberly was able to get out of the relationship however that didn't mean Terry accepted it and he didn't go away Terry managed to keep control of her monetarily and mentally even though they

technically weren't in a relationship anymore he still made sure he was in charge of everything he possibly could be while they were in a relationship he had given her a cell phone so that cell phone was tied to his plan so he controlled that he would jump in and pay for other bills without being asked uh in order to stick around he would also randomly give her cash and kind of use those things to hold it over her head and control her still all pathetic attempts to stay in her life and the whole time he

still still continued to threaten her like from afar he still had his claws and this poor woman at this point Kimberly didn't know what to do she had like escaped one layer of this awful abuse but was just stuck in yet another one and according to those that knew her it felt like she was just hoping that if she just stayed nice to him and kept him at arms length and remained calm that he would just eventually go away so obviously Terry is not looking like a really good guy right now and absolutely may have

reasons to want to harm Kimberly he had legitimately told her he would several times before so they brought him in for questioning Terry did confirm with authorities that their relationship had ended 6 months prior and he also admitted that their relationship had not been great he said that they got into several verbal arguments and he even said that at one point it got physical that he had slapped her across the face but he told authorities he had nothing to do with Kimberly's disappearance so they asked him what on Earth she was doing over at his

house that day because obviously it's a little suspicious that she was over there and all of a sudden she is missing so Terry told authorities that he had reached out to her that day to ask for a little help he said that he was in the middle of renovating his home and he needed help putting up a few boards on the wall but he needed to screw them in someone needed to hold them and so she agreed to help out and he said that she came over after she left work and she was was only

there for about 15 to 20 minutes before she left and he claimed that after that he never spoke to her or saw her again he told police that he stayed alone at his home after this until around 9:30 p.m. that night when he headed to a local pool hall called the corner pocket so really he didn't have a solid Alibi he was the last to see her and then he had hours unaccounted for where he was by himself at home and he definitely could have had a motive authorities decided to search his home and his

recer service because they were both on the same property there were several buildings on the property but they never found any sign of obvious Foul Play or Kimberly they checked for blood they did what they could but there was just nothing and Terry wasn't the only one in question here Ken Kimberly's current boyfriend was also brought in simply because he was dating her at the time maybe he was mad that she decided to go and see an ex-boyfriend that day but he was quickly ruled out however enter creep number two Frank McCormick friends family and

co-workers had a lot to say about this man now Frank was Kimberly's supervisor a married man and he too just like Terry was obsessed with her now Frank had apparently pursued Kimberly at work he was flirting with her and eventually he began to write her all out love letters and we know this because all of them were saved Kimberly seemed to know she was in a very tricky situation with her boss and she was scared if at any point she didn't like comply with his wishes or reciprocate these feelings that she would end up fired

because of it so she knew she had to save these letters in case she needed to prove what he had been doing this entire time so every time Frank gave her a letter she would hand it over to one of her close friends for safee in also this was a safe thing to do because now there's someone else other than her that knows that her married boss is just professing his love to her on a regular basis now in these dozens and dozens and dozens of letters Frank confesses his love for Kimberly I'm talking just

doting on her telling her how much she means to him um he offers to fly her and her daughter out to places like Europe it was very intense and it almost seemed like he was trying to convince her that she had feelings for him and just didn't realize it yet like it didn't matter if she said nothing back if she didn't reciprocate anything like she had obviously kind of gently turned him down several times and he would write to her about these times and basically just make it seem like she was just confused or kind

of start to pity himself because she wasn't showing him the same attention that he was showing her it also seemed like he was trying to manipulate her as well by playing on her empathy her kind nature he would say say that he needed to be saved and only she could save him and that he had never felt so deeply for anyone before and he had to be with her she was basically the answers to all of his prayers he wrote about the fact that he drove past her house 20 to 30 times a week so

we're really talking Obsession here he even said that he had a whole file of letters that he had written to her and just never got the courage to give to her so not only do we have all of these creepy one-sided letters but there was also potential motive as well because Frank was married he was high up in this business he had a lot writing on the secret love with his subordinate so maybe the fear of being found out could have been enough to make him want to harm her maybe she said hey if you

don't stop doing this I'm going to tell XYZ I'm going to show these letters to your wife I saved all these letters or maybe he finally decided to act on his fantasies and he took her she disappeared just after leaving work so could make sense maybe he followed her and things went bad or there was even another possibility so there's so many different ways this could have gone Ken Weatherford her new boyfriend also worked at the same company they all knew each other and according to Ken Frank was not happy that the two were dating

Ken even said that at one point he left Kimberly's house and saw Frank sitting in his car on the other side of the road just staring he was jealous and angry and that is a lot of potential motives floating around there so we've got these two men who both are just absolutely obsessed with this missing woman and both of them have like at least five different reasons they might want to get rid of her authorities brought Frank in to question him about what was going on and it was suspicious because he really downplayed his one-sided

relationship with Kimberly he kept saying that he had like a maybe a small crush on her but you know it was nothing that serious um he didn't at all mention his letters of love for her even though he wrote probably hundreds of them honestly um he said that he had no reason to harm her he wouldn't even pursue her romantically because he had so much going on in his life that it would ruin so while that's definitely suspicious unlike Terry Frank was able to provide somewhat more of a solid Alibi but it still was not

perfect Frank showed authorities that he had a receipt from a grocery store that was timestamped to 6:56 pm. a.m. the night that Kimberly disappeared so we still have around 2 hours unaccounted for but it was at least something and maybe they also had something showing when he left work I have no clue it's not been mentioned um but he said that he had stopped at the grocery store to get a few things to enjoy while he hosted a poker game later that night with eight of his friends and so that was just kind of another

layer on to him being somewhere else around the time she potentially had something happen to her and all eight of his friends corroborated his story so while it was still maybe a possibility because we have this 2-hour questionable time frame at this point it just didn't seem as likely that Frank was involved in whatever happened to Kimberly at this point searches for Kimberly continued her family was pushing for answers the media tried to elicit tips and everything that was coming in just continue to point to Terry Kimberly's sister actually went to Terry's house just after

she went Miss to inform him more formally of what was going on and that there was an actual investigation into this and again instead of sympathy and asking how to help just like he acted in the phone call with Tiffany he had a very awful response he said something along the lines of good now you know how I feel Terry proceeded to say that he had given Kimberly $500 to go to Mexico with some of her girlfriends and that instead he found out that she had gone with another man which we know was Ken and

apparently Terry found out about that as well and he was mad about it and when you go to someone the last person potentially to see this missing person and you're like hey they're missing and his response is good definitely not a good sign and when you pair that with strange statements that he made to Tiffany about not being invited to dinner it seemed he was way more concerned about the fact that Kimberly was with another man and he wasn't involved in her life anymore than the fact that nobody could find her even though they weren't

together he still felt so entitled to her time and it seems in his mind she belonged to him he obviously found out about dinner at some point with this other man maybe he found out that she was going with Ken specifically and got mad and on top of that they had found out that Kimberly had been wearing a white T-shirt with cosmel written on it from that Mexico trip and maybe she was wearing that faux engagement ring that all of her friends remembered seeing on her and if she showed up wearing all of those things

indicating that she had moved on and kind of like were pressure points for a lot of his anger towards her at the time any one of those things could have set Terry off some of Terry's co-workers even came forward to authorities and confirmed that they saw Kimberly's car at Terry's house which we knew already that she went there so that wasn't necessarily odd um but the timing did seem just a little bit strange as I said his home and his recer service were on the same property and one employee said that they pulled in and

saw her car sitting there at around 5:50 p.m. but there was no sign of Kimberly herself and by 6:20 p.m. 30 minutes later her car was gone and again while this could fit the timeline of how long she stayed there was really no way to confirm but another witness came forward that expanded this timeline and it linked Terry to her car in that E's parking lot this person called in and said that they saw Terry's tow truck in the shopping center at 6:45 p.m. so Kimberly's car was possibly towed there by him and even more

suspiciously that same pool hall that he claimed he went to around 9:30 that night was in the exact same shopping center what are the chances but unfortunately at this point all authorities had against Terry was circumstantial evidence and it just was not enough to bring forward any charges they announced at this point that they did believe Foul Play was involved and that Kimberly was likely no longer alive but they knew they would need a body or something huge to be able to move forward over the next few years they continued fighting to find Kimberly her

family also held on to hope that they would eventually have answers all the while Terry allegedly tormented them Kimberly sister used to have a website where she shared a lot of what was going on in regards to her sister's disappearance and according to post by Kimberly's sister Terry bothered them for years after after Kimberly went missing just after her disappearance he personally called them and let them know that he was about to go and take a polygraph test which is weird cuz it's like why do we need to know about this directly like it was

just something strange but even stranger he let them know that he knew he was going to fail but didn't elaborate at all it was almost like he wanted them to know he did something and and there was going to be questions about it but he enjoyed the fact that no one was going to be able to prove it he then called them months into the investigation asking if they had heard from Kim like we're just like hey have you heard from her lately as if she's not a missing person that is believed to be dead

at this point and suspiciously right after he made this call they started getting these ghost calls that went on for two years someone calling them regularly saying nothing on the other end and it wasn't until one of those phone calls was interrupted by like a police scanner in the background that they finally stopped and her family strongly believed it was Terry making these phone calls because he had This Record Service he likely had something like a police scanner in his shop so they thought it was him just tormenting them even further in 2002 3 years

after Kimberly disappeared Terry even approached Tiffany in public asking questions about her mom and they all had issues with this man and so Kimberly's sister confronted him about it said hey stay away from her she wants nothing to do with you and his response to this was not even you know an apology or anything along those lines instead he said hey by the way uh do you want to know what polygraph question I ended up failing on that test that I took years ago and then he proceeded to tell her that it was when he

was asked if he killed Kimberly now while she continued to push the case out into the public Kimberly's brother also started to try to make sense of all of this and he actually put together a database in regards to her disappearance trying to find any sort of pattern or something that may lead to Kim Tiffany eventually got married and moved away and she was tired of everyone pitying her and asking her about her mom so she started to just tell people that her mom had died years prior to avoid it all and this is why

victim's advocacy is so important making sure that these families who are victims as well get the resources that they need the therapy that they need the help that they need because they are struggling but after years and years there just still seem to be nothing at all and so 8 years into Kimberly's disappearance authorities decided to take a fresh look at the case they were going in requestioning those that they could hoping that maybe they would get new information or this would bring them closer to an arrest but nothing seemed to come from it a

woman named DD Keane who had survived two abductions of her own and ran her own organization also stepped in to try and help continue raising awareness she would stand on the corner where Kimberly's car was found on the an iary of her disappearance each year passing out flyers and reminding people that she can't be forgotten so many years passed and there was just nothing but a handful of people desperately still pushing for answers and then this last April of 2024 Cole Justice decided to air an episode on this case there were several investigators in Bowmont

that had not given up on finding Kimberly but they knew they would need more they knew they would need to push in order to get the rest of the answers they needed to hold hopefully bring her home and get some sort of arrest and so together with Kelly seagler they went back and took another look at these potential suspects Frank and Terry Frank very willingly these 25 years later still came into the police department he agreed to speak to them and tell them what he remembered um but he still was acting a little odd I

mean he really continued to downplay what happened between him and Kimberly he seemed shocked when they confronted him about these letters and the fact that all of them had been saved But ultimately he didn't seem to have anything to hide but Terry as you can probably expect was full of crap he had refused to speak to investigators about Kimberly's disappearance for over 20 years at this point and he definitely didn't willingly come in like Frank did so they showed up at his house to talk to him and as they knocked on his door he slipped

out of the back of his house into the wrecker side of his property okay he jumped in this old beat up car and was opening a gate and like trying to leave as fast as he could now thankfully they were able to intercept him and you can see he very quickly re thought his actions and it's almost kind of funny on the Cold Justice episode because he almost acts as if like he was never trying to leave they're like you know we're we're pretty sure you were just trying to run from this conversation he was

trying to act so casual he was like oh I just didn't see you guys and they're like you literally looked Us in the face like you looked Us in the face as you you fled from your home to try to get out of here on the other side of your property hoping we wouldn't catch up to you okay and he continued this kind of casual BS attitude the entire time he was being questioned he claimed to the authorities that Kimberly had been fine that day when he saw her that she came over um everything was

great she was in a fine mood but you could tell there was something so off going on with this man like they tried to keep things so neutral at first and just be like what do you think happened and kind of let him dig his own hole and he he definitely did that because on his own he brought up the fact that she had been dating another man from work and it was almost like he still seemed mad about it and he also tried to say that after their breakup that his personal approach was to

just give Kimberly space which totally contradicted what everyone else had said over the last 24 years and he just continued to lie and lie and deny and deny he said that he never gave her $500 to go to Mexico and he said he didn't even know that she had been to Mexico at all he even went against his own original statement and deny that he ever hit her during their relationship and most alarmingly he changed the reason why she came over instead of his original story that she came over because he needed help putting up

boards he now said that she was the one who reached out to him and said that she left things at his house that she needed to pick up so it kind of seemed like he had forgotten the lie that he had told because little did he know Kimberly had actually reached out to someone about going to his house and she said that he had called her saying that she had left expensive jewelry and things at his house and in storage that she needed to come and get she had called one of her close family friends

about this and They begged her not to go and she said he hasn't done anything in months I think I'll be okay I don't want to miss out on my jewelry like these are important pieces of mine and this friend even was like I will buy you every single one of these pieces new just please don't go over there so he at this point seemed to be telling a partial truth but was trying to say that she was the one that reached out to him which is definitely a bit of a tactic there now by

the end of the Cold Justice episode The Da launched a grand jury investigation they wanted to charge Terry with murder even though they still didn't have a body it was clear he had something to hide it was clear that he had the most motive out of everyone and he was the last to see her and obviously they had probably a lot more evidence that they had not shared with the public but then things took a turn in the most incredible way that same month that the Cole Justice episode air that they were trying to get

the grand jury to look into everything and informant actually brought forward huge information to the Bowmont police Terry himself had apparently told this informant that he did in fact kill Kimberly at his home in 1999 and he buried her on his property so when this informant was able to bring them all of this information they just needed a warrant at this point a warrant to try to find her body that was like the missing piece that they needed so by June 10th of this year Bowmont Police Department were able to get an evidentiary warrant to

go and check out Terry's home on Lindberg Drive the search began that day and over the course of the next few days several agencies joined in on the efforts because this was huge this was groundbreaking and quite frankly things like this don't happen in these cold cases very often so the ATF came in the FBI The public's work department as well as Texas equisearch um because they brought in ground penetrating radar they're like we are going to find where this man buried her and we are going to return her home now police have been working

to find what happened to King langwell and they believe that there could be evidence to assist in their investigation not just at this residence on Lindberg Drive but even in the nearby property police say that they will continue searching the white area until they find what happened to Kim langwell and by June 13th the radar found an anomaly in one of the bedrooms of Terry's home there was a portion under the floor on the concrete slab it was about 3T X 5T that was missing rebar and if you're not familiar with what that is it's

kind of like the metal crisscross bracing that goes in concrete to keep it stable Tim Miller said quote we knew it had been been cut out I thought my God it's the perfect size for a person to bury someone City Crews were called in right away to carefully remove the concrete and then everyone on scene began digging by hand realizing how close they were after 25 years 25 years chasing this man trying to get enough evidence the thought that Kimberly had been buried under this man's house this entire time was was infuriating disgusting devastating like

every possible emotion you can imagine and by 3:00 a.m. after careful digging to preserve evidence they found something remains were wrapped in a blanket the human remains were discovered during the search the identity of the remains are being confirmed at this time however we believe they are the remains of cimberly langwell during a press conference on Friday BPD Chief Jimmy single ter thanked the FBI ATF and Texas Equis search for helping solve langu Well's disappearance he also highlighted the detectives who have been on the case for decades by 6:15 p.m. that day Terry Rose was

arrested for the murder of Kimberly langwell not long after that photo there at BPD officers LED Terry roseen handcuffs down the stairs at the police department headquarters downtown his ride to the Jefferson County Correctional Facility KFDM had plenty of questions but Rose had nothing to say to us tonight passing up on his opportunity to give his version of events and his side of the story they held a press conference where everyone that had kept fighting for answers all of this time were finally able to say that they had done it nobody had given up and

everyone worked together that was probably what got this case solved and honestly I feel like is exactly what we need more of and we talk about this all the time on this channel the fact that there needs to be more of a collective effort by numerous different agencies to bring in different resources different skill sets to try and get these cases solved and they were able to finally bring Kimberly home they did something that a lot of people assumed was going to be impossible it's a long time coming and I'm so very grateful to to

have my mother back not in the way that I wanted her but to know that she's no longer um being held is is a good feeling Tiffany mckinness has Waited For answers in her mother's disappearance for 25 years she was only 15 years old when she reported her 34-year-old mother Kimberly langwell missing on July 9th of 1999 mckin is contacted police after langwell never showed up for dinner plans they had made that night I've known that since the day that she was gone she's been there so um it's tough stuff to know where your mom

is and know that there's nothing you can do she at least could lay her to rest with dignity at this time she was no longer being held hostage by this monster of a man that was literally what he had always done was hold her hostage even in the 25 years after her death Kimberly was finally back with the people that actually loved her and while I don't fully understand why they were never able to check this area until this time you know if they strongly believed that he did something to her was there no sign

that like things had been cut up like did he have to cut the floor out to get to this area was there like a crawl space I'm just baffled that he was able to pull this crap off for as long as he was but I'm so thankful that they were finally able to get answers Tiffany said that she hopes that Terry Rose is going to end up in jail forever quote I hope that he lives at least the 25 years that we've suffered through at the very least obviously everyone in Kimberly's life wants answered they

want to know why they want to know what happened what made him do what he did but Tiffany has said that she does not believe he's anywhere near gracious enough to give them those answers to give them the truth of what happened he's the kind of person that wants to stay in control and he's going to hold on to that as long as he can but more importantly out of all of this Tiffany reminded everyone to remember the Kimberly that she knew and loved the loving fun and feisty woman that had raised her that should

have been able to live the beautiful life that she had fought hard to have to see her daughter go to prom and to get married and grow up maybe Mary Ken a man that seemed to finally treat her the way that she knew she deserved to be treated that is how she wants her mom to be remembered now obviously they had assumed these remains were Kimberly's because who else's would they be but it wasn't until a little over a week ago that they were able to formally announce through DNA that they did in fact belong

to Kimberly but everyone again already really knew that now Terry is currently being held in jail on $1 million Bond and if he somehow manages to make that which so far is not looking likely thankfully he will have to wear an ankle monitor and he's not allowed to leave the county now I am so torn because I personally hope that he pleads guilty and Spares everyone from a trial and lets them move forward but part of me also hopes that he has to sit and listen to what he did and how he affected people and

an entire community over the last 25 years and that he realizes that he's nowhere near as smart as I'm sure he thinks he is all I can picture is him laughing and joking in the coold Justice episode after he lied straight to the faces of the investigators just yards away from Kimberly's body he genuinely seemed so pleased with himself that he had been able to pull this off yet again it's disgusting only time will tell and I will keep you guys updated I haven't seen anything at all about whether he's going to plead guilty or

not guilty what attorney is representing him when they believe his trial is going to begin if again he has a trial um because this is all so fresh and so new and I can guarantee you they are working their butts off down there in Bowmont Texas to make sure this is an ironcloud investigation and there's no way that he will be found not guilty if you know again this goes to trial now I want to end this case with what officer Carol Riley said about it being solved after almost three decades because I believe it's

a great reminder quote this tells people that are sitting out there thinking that they may have gotten away with something that that's not always the way it is new technology is always around the corner sleep with one eye open and know that we are still digging I hope that you guys leave this video with a renewed sense of wanting to help out these families that maybe don't get as much coverage these families that you know maybe the case has been sitting for 15 20 years cases aren't going viral all over Tik Tok or Instagram these

cases that still matter that still need answers these families that still need some sort of closure again if you are able please as a birthday present to me if you could give whatever donation you are able to the Cold Case Foundation I would be Beyond grateful on that note you guys I'm going to go ahead and go thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to listen to Kimberly langwell Story if you haven't already go ahead and hit the Subscribe button down below so you can become a part of the Howen
