“I believe my son was killed,” Cheryl says.

Another mom, Di, says her son, James Kulstad, was shot and killed on April 8, 2018, also in Bakersfield.

And, Jane says her daughter, Baylee Despot, disappeared on April 25, 2018, in Bakersfield as well. The last time she spoke to the 20-year-old in person was April 23, when she says she brought churros to the house where she was living.

“I believe that Baylee’s disappearance, Micah’s disappearance and James’ murder — they’re all connected,” Jane says.
