The Haunting Disappearances and Murders Of the Bakersfield 3 Part 3 Baylee Cheyanne Parrent-Despot

Baylee Cheyanne Parrent-Despot

She was born to Jane Parrent in 1998.

She was 20 years old when she went missing on April 25th, 2018.

She has the greatest smile and the greatest laugh.

This self described flower child who wore cloths reminiscent of the 1970's. She enjoyed being around and working around people.

In 2016, she ran off to Las Vegas to marry her boyfriend, a year after she graduated high school. The relationship had always been rocky and it came as a surprise to Baylee's mom that they got married.
The marriage eventually ended.

Her mother said,

“She wrecked her car, and then she lost her job.

She was trying to get back on track and her life just spiraled out of control. 

And it went downhill from there.”

Baylee became involved with older men, eventually dating somebody else.

Jane saw her daughter was on April 25th, 2018, when she dropped off some churros from Costco at her daughter’s new boyfriend’s house.

“I always say ‘I love you’ so I probably said ‘momma loves you.’ That’s what we always said,” 

Jane said.

Baylee stopped responding to text messages.

Jane was suppose to pick up Baylee at a friends house, but she was not there.

Jane filed a missing person’s report with the Kern County Sheriff’s Office.

When she was contacted by Holsonbake, she remembered Micah as somebody who would occasionally help her daughter out.

Since she has been missing, Baylee has had no social media activity and there is no sign of her anywhere.

The Haunting Disappearances and Murders Of The Bakersfield 3 Pt. 2 James John Kulstad

James John Kulstad II was born on August 9th, 1979.
His reason to live was for the future of his daughters and to surf. James was an entrepreneur who never stopped brainstorming to grow his dreams into reality. He would never turn a shoulder to one less fortunate than himself. James has striking blue eyes, a heart of gold and a smile to last a lifetime. James was a caring and thoughtful soul and a role model to aspire to.

Over the last year, Kulstad had struggled with an opiate addiction.
He had been prescribed pain medication after an operation relating to a fractured wrist, and his mother said it became a slippery slope from that point on.

 “He was trying to get his life back on track,” his mother Diane Byrne  said. “He went to rehab.”

Before his addiction, Kulstad had been an avid surfer, who earned money through his career as an entrepreneur to live near his favorite surf spots.
On April 7th, 2018, Bryne had last seen 38-year-old Kulstad around 10p.m.  
Kulstad had left her house without telling her where he was going.

Byrne woke up a little after 1 a.m. on April 8th, to a call informing her that Kulstad had been shot.

By the time she got dressed, one of her other sons had arrived at her house to take her to the scene of the crime.

They arrived in a south Bakersfield neighborhood to find that the car Kulstad had been driving had crashed into a trailer. He had been shot while pulling out of a driveway.

“The police had a line of caution-tape lines up and I just stood there trying to get through screening,” 

Byrne said. 

“My son just kept giving me a bear hug, saying it would be fine.”

Kulstad had crawled out of the passenger door, making it to the ground before he bled out internally. He had been shot in the hip region.

Police later described the incident as a drive-by shooting.

But after his death, the Bakersfield Police Department had trouble bringing the case to a conclusion. Nobody who knew Kulstad at the time seemed keen to testify.

Byrne reached out to Holsonbake to try to help move both cases forward.

Then Holsonbake noticed another person had gone missing, and she recognized the name Baylee Despot.

Susan Cox Powell's Brother In Law Lied Under Oath in Attempt To Get Millions of Dollars

 

  On Oct. 20, 2012,.Michael Powell's lies came out during a deposition over his brother's, Josh Powell, life insurance policy.

  Ten months prior, Josh Powell made changes to the beneficiaries on his life insurance policy. He directed New York Life to distribute 93 percent of the money to Michael Powell. Eight months after the policy changes, Josh killed his two sons and himself by taking a hatchet to his children and then setting fire to his rented home in Graham, Washington. Michael Powell had made a claim for some of the more than 3 million dollar pay out.

  During the deposition he was asked about his Facebook use. He said he rarely used it and never talked with his brother, Josh, about Susan's disappearance.

  It turns out that Michael and Josh created a fake Facebook account to stalk and spy on a group dedicated to locating Susan's body.

  Josh's phones were also tapped by the police. Josh and Michael were heard discussing the the fake Facebook account and the email they used to create it.

  A year after Josh murdered the kids and killed himself, Michael committed suicide in February of 2013.

  It has been long suspected that Michael had involvement in the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell. Some people believe that he helped dispose of her body.

The Haunting Disappearances and Murders Of The Bakersfield 3 Pt. 1 Micah HolsonBake

It started with Micah Holsonbake.

Micah Blaine Holsonbake was a jokester and was always quick to say what was on his mind.

He was a shoulder to cry on and the life of the party.

“Micah was also extremely loyal,” he said. “He would go to bat for anybody he cared for. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was genuine and caring, always helpful and kind.”

said Scott Haagensen, who was a youth minister at the church in the late 1990s when Holsonbake was part of his youth group.

Jackie Chase, who was a member of Holsonbake’s youth group who became a close friend with him said,

“He just had this aura about him that you knew he loved you,” she said. “Even on his darkest days, regardless of what he was going through, he would tell you how much you were loved and make sure you knew it.

“He wanted you to have the best life, and he wanted you to be happy,” she said. “What I want you to do when you leave here is don’t be sad, because he wouldn’t want that. He would want you to know that you are loved.”

Micah Holsonbake was 35 years old when he was last seen on March 23, 2018, in the area of Flower Street and Mount Vernon Avenue in East Bakersfield, California.

A year before he disappeared, Micah had been laid off from his job at a local bank after going on disability leave related to depression.

He met new friends, the kind he didn't normally associate with, and went to bars and other places he never have went to before.

Micah told his family that he had been threatened and feared for his safety. At the time, Micah's family thought that maybe he just was paranoid.

Looking back, Cheryl believes her son was telling the truth. She has learned her son sold small amounts of drugs, possibly to support a habit.

“My mom instinct is that he found himself in over his head,” she said. “And kept himself in that situation because he was afraid for his family, because he felt like he would be hurt if he didn’t.”

The last time Cheryl saw Micah, she dropped him off in a bad neighborhood near Kern Medical Center. She said something felt off and she tried to convince him to go to dinner, but he refused and she drove away.

Micah Holsonbake had called his mother, Cheryl, the morning of March 17, 2018, asking her to help him pay for a hotel room for a friend. Cheryl didn’t have the money for the room and an argument ensued, so she hung up on him.

"He was upset at me that I didn’t care. It was kind of a manipulative anger,” Cheryl said. “And I wasn’t in the mood to go there, so I didn’t. So yeah. I’ve regretted it. I still wouldn’t have had the money to do it, but I still regret hanging up on him.”

That was the last time Cheryl heard from her son.

Two weeks later she filed a missing person's report, after she didn't hear anything back from police.

A month after Micah was last seen, Cheryl received a call from Diane Byrne. She said her son, James Kulstad, had been killed a few weeks earlier, and it appeared that their children had many mutual friends.

Was MH370 Downed to Prevent Repeat of 9/11?

It's been almost five years since Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared over the South China Sea with 239 people on board. Two massive search operations yielded no results.

Noel O'Gara, an Irish writer who has spent years hunting MH370, claims that the plane's disappearance has to do with the Malaysian military panicking about the pilot's potential suicide plan.  O'Gara alleges that the military was scared by the Boeing veering off course in what could be an attempt to fly back to Kuala Lumpur and target the Petronas Towers.

Allegedly the then Prime Minister, Najib Razak, was made aware of the change of course and a military fighter jet was scrambled to intercept MH370 and fired a warning shot at the plane. Instead of alerting the airliner, the military aircraft is thought to have accidentally shot it down.

The initial search was conducted in a relatively small area. A week after the plane's disappearance Razak ordered the search to include a much larger area, quoting a credible source as saying that the plane made a turn back. O'Gara believes the delay helped authorities cover up the military's accidental downing of the plane.

The plane ascended to 45,000 feet, which is well above cruising altitude. O'Gara claims that this is evidence of a violent struggle for control of the plane by hijackers.

Was The Missing MH370 Pilot's Brain Starved Of Oxygen?

Christine Negroni believes the pilot of Flight M370, Zaharie Ahmad Shah was on the toilet when the plan depressurized, leaving co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid.

She claims that Hamid then made a string of bizarre decisions because his brain was starved of oxygen.

She says that we only need to study the plane's route to understand why.

According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, MH370 turned west above the South China Sea before flying across the Malaysia Peninsula.

Then they say it turned left again towards the Indian Ocean west of Australia and crashed after running out of fuel and they don't know why.

Negroni believes the Boeing 777-200 was depressurized around the time it lost contact 38 minutes into the flight due to an electrical failure. The depressurization led Hamid to suffer from Hypoxia. Hypoxia is a known factor in pilots not doing what they are trained to do or doing something that does not make sense.

Negroni says that Shah not being in the cockpit is speculation, but she thinks that if Shah would have been there, that Hamid might have not got overwhelmed like she thinks he did. 

Negroni stated,

“I just sense that had two people been in the cockpit, especially the more experienced of the two, it might not have turned that way.”
