Can someone please help me remember, but 1/20/18, MQ takes MF to vineyard and threatens her to find out if BD is cheating on him. (Correct?)

3/23/18 Micah last seen
4/8/18 James shot

Then 4/15/18, MQ assaults SB with a firearm. Anyone remember what this was about? Did SB know Micah and Baylee?

4/25/18 Baylee last seen

1/27/19, MQ kidnaps CS and stole his phone, I think. Again, I’m rusty on what info MQ was looking for.

Can anyone help me remember, please? I’m trying to fill in the timeline to try to make sense of it all. It’s been a while since I last looked at this case

Those are the dates I have - it would be nice to have a time line established along with dates and arrest of key people and events

Question... IF baylee was able to "go into hiding" how would she be able to support herself without a trace for so long??
And Is she hiding from MQ and his people or from the law enforcement??

I have seen acquaintances of this group say she is not missing and that she is in hiding... I would like to know why they say this.... is it because they know more or are they shielding other people. And have they came forward already with they may or may not know....

Just some of many questions I have ...

She could support herself with same illegal activities that she was around in this group- gun manufacturing, drugs, etc

I remember a while back seeing MQ current girlfriend being arrested around that time but nothing ever filed. I went to look up and this is what I found

I’ve always wondered why these charges disappeared

More from the court documents:
‘Bakersfield 3’ member Micah Holsonbake was afraid of murder suspect Matthew Queen, became increasingly paranoid before he disappeared, documents say

“He said despot was clumsy” wow, What a man. I’m curious if this hotel situation was the Marriott party we’ve heard about (where his ex wife was working). Also, if this person could be michael carpenter? Although he doesn’t strike me as someone who’d hide and call the police.

Yeah, this poor excuse for a man also took up with Despot's best friend and had a baby with her. I am afraid that Despot is dead at MQ's hands.

JMO.

UPDATE: ‘Bakersfield 3’ moms discuss ‘their own demons’ on Part 2 of Dr. Phil special

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The mothers of the “Bakersfield 3” continued their discussion with Dr. Phil on Wednesday in the second of a two-part special focused on their efforts to deal with their grief following the deaths of two of their children, and allegations that the third was involved in a murder, and may also be dead.

Jane Parrent, Cheryl Holsonbake and Diane Byrne formed a bond over their shared grief following the deaths or disappearances of their children in 2018.

Baylee Despot, Micah Holsonbake, and James Kulstad were each killed or went missing that year. They became collectively known as the Bakersfield 3 due to their connections to each other and their unsolved cases.

Parrent is the mother of Despot, Holsonbake of Micah and Byrne of Kulstad.

The 38-year-old Kulstad was shot to death in April 2018. No arrests have been made.

Micah Holsonbake disappeared the previous month, and in summer 2018 an arm identified as his was recovered from the Kern River. The rest of his body has not been found.

 

[katydid23]

Despot went missing in April 2018 and, along with her former boyfriend, has been charged with the torture and murder of Holsonbake. While some, including her mother, believe Despot is dead, prosecutors charged her because there has been no definitive proof of her death.

Despot was 20 at the time of her disappearance.

On Tuesday’s show, the mothers discussed how the strain put on their relationship with the filing of the murder charge against Despot.

Also charged is Despot’s ex, Matthew Queen.

Prosecutors say Queen asked to use an acquaintance’s detached garage to extract information from Holsonbake about a gun stolen from Queen. Queen and Despot arrived at the garage with Holsonbake and placed zip ties on his arms, and Despot retrieved a knife, according to charging documents.

It’s alleged Vandecasteele, Holsonbake and Queen were involved in illegally manufacturing firearms, including AR-15s. Vandecasteele said Holsonbake also sold drugs, and said both Holsonbake and Queen hung out with members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, according to court filings.

Queen has a hearing Thursday to set a date for his preliminary hearing.

I've followed the case a little bit but hadn't read or seen that they hung out with Hells Angels. If the selling drugs and making weapons involved them in any way, that would make things make more sense in a lot of ways.

If Holsonbake was selling drugs for them and owed them money, that's not a good combination. They want what's owed to them and if they don't get their money/drugs, there's plenty of cases out there where they have killed or have someone else kill that person as revenge.

Now when it comes to Despot, if they were making weapons for HAs and Queen believed she had snitched and was a CI for any LE agency, the same scenario applies. Anyone that would put them of risk of going to jail would need to be taken care of to avoid that.
