In an earlier thread someone on here mentioned "snuff" film. Forgive me for being so ignorant of terminology, but what exactly is a "snuff" film?

Thanks..
Vic

filmed murder, usually during somekind of sexual act. it is an urban legend, as there has never been any proof that things like this exist...

A new person here....have been reading the forum since Brooke became missing.

I have been wondering if anybody knows who reported Brooke missing?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Welcome to WS, Starr! A family friend who has not been named and has only been mentioned by someone local. LE then called back to speak with the maternal grandmother.

In 2000 an Italian police operation broke up a gang of child pornographers based in Russia who, it was claimed, were also offering snuff films for sale to their clients in Italy, Germany, America and Britain. It is unclear whether anything other than child films were ever seized.[12]

This is interesting considering the association RG made between himself and Russian Child , as well as SS's theory that a film of Brooke's potential abuse might have been made and sold...

Hi and welcome to Websleuths.

the answer to your quesion is, as far as i can work out, a family friend of Cassandra and Grandma's. she made the call they were unwilling to nd when the police came on the phone she handed the apparatus to Grandma.

usually i'm an opinionated poster who can't shut up, but i'm horrified on this one and not quite so vocal as normal. i've read everything.

I thought her grandmother reported her missing?

I was just wondering if it might have been Ray Gagnon who could have reported her missing.

No she didn't.

In 2007 an underground Argentinian film called SNUFF 102, directed by filmmaker Mariano Peralta, was premiered in the Mar Del Plata International Film Festival in Argentina. The premiere was scandalous because members of the audience claimed some scenes in the film were real and demanded the film be banned from the festival. After the end of the premiere the director was attacked by members of the audience.[citation needed]

While it may be part urban legend, I would say it does exist for a very few sick freaks out there.

No. He was in San Antonio, TX at the time she went missing...until LE says differently.

To me, this kind of film isn't art and should be banned. ALL it does is encourage nuts to make their own snuff films. I am so fed up with hearing about 'art' and 'free speech' when it refers to violent sexual . We have to draw the line somewhere if we want to remain a civilized society and not revert to a Lord of the Flies existance.

About 16 yo, I think. It doesn't say how old Pamela was when she was murdered or even give her birthdate.

 

[HarvestMoon]

Delta Dawn, I also have a feeling that machine killed her.

I agree. I don´t care what two (or more) adults do with each other and when it doesn´t happen against anyones will, but I do think that children need much more protection than they are getting these days.

Did anyone else notice that Brooke's father said her grades dropped drastically in 7th grade?

Is it possible Jacques was already molesting her and she had threatened to tell and this is why her abduction was planned and why AR wanted her to suffer and why she had her arms crossed in the Cumberland Farms vide?

 

[Cornflower]

Also, I noted on several of the photos of MJ's house that a screen from one of the upstairs windows was laying on the porch roof. Anyone else notice that? Could Brooke have tried to get out a window at one point?

I had to look at the photos again, didn´t notice that earlier. It might well be that they had a big fight upstairs and maybe Brooke got injuries already then?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Anything is possible when it comes to Jacques. Her grades slipping could be a clue to abuse, but then again...there could be many reasons. Too much time spent on sports, on the cell phone, on the internet, or a host of other things.

Yes, I read that too. He said that was maybe because of her growing up and becoming a teen. I believe that was because of MJ, too.
