I have to agree with Tricia on this one - there is absolutely 0 evidence that religion or occult interest has a part in Sydney's death, even on the periphery. Snuff films have nothing to do with occult networks or sex trafficking necessarily and are more often the subject of sadistic, murderous psychos, ending up in an FBI evidence locker (
no evidence of one ever being published has been found). A case like YingYing's could be construed as potentially inspired by occult fantasies. This one...nope.
What we do have evidence of is two disenfranchised individuals with a hinky age disparity and a history of drug, theft and fraud violations who were the last to see Sydney alive after luring her on Tinder, their phones or vehicle GPS leading to the location of her remains. We know Bailey likes rap music, has a child, is from Iowa and dropped out of college before ending up in Nebraska living in a basement with Trail with no registered address, job or income. Neither of them has been characterized by anyone who knows them or their online presence as being religious or interested in dark themes. We can tell from their videos that both of them seem mentally fit (in legal terms of course) and are not seeing imaginary talking dogs.
What their plot was with Sydney has yet to be revealed, but it seems to me that a drug conspiracy can be ruled out (no DEA), theft can be ruled out, and satanic ritual murder can definitely be ruled out. That leaves sexual, rage or accidental death - if she was not found dismembered, my bet is on accidental drug overdose. Those of you suggesting they may have tried to subdue her in order to produce an amateur *advertiser censored* video are on the right track IMO.
