Hello! A new case has taken Hidden True Crime's attention the past couple of weeks, and we wanted you to be aware.

John and I have been in touch with, and speaking to,  Rebekah Barsotti's parents for months now. Rebekah was 33-years-old when she went missing on July 20th, 2021 (just over ten months ago). 

While Rebekah's mother, Angela Mastrovito, kept us apprised on her daughter's case, and shared with us her disappointment in law enforcement's lack of investigation,  we held off on reporting due to a private search and rescue team working with the family to find Rebekah, as well as a few other concerns.  We still have an interview with Rebekah's parents we never aired.

A couple of weeks ago a body was found. Our Patreon supporter and Rebekah's friend reached out to us, and we learned that the remains were likely Rebekah. 

Today we learned the body has been identified as missing Rebekah Barsotti and our love and thoughts go out to her family.

Since the body was discovered, we've had Rebekah's mom on our YouTube channel to give the very latest on the case, and two nights ago we had Rebekah's husband's former friend on our channel. He told Hidden True Crime he believes Rebekah was murdered by her husband--David Barsotti-- and that he has recordings to back up his claims.

Despite the evidence and concern from her parents, LE has always stated Rebekah's disappearance was an accidental drowning. They've never named a person of interest, nor ever opened a criminal investigation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to information with this case. The best way to get caught up is to watch both of our lives from the last two weeks,

Tonight we will continue our investigation into Rebekah's death with Death Investigator Joseph Scott Morgan. While there is no known cause of death, we know a lot about the remains. It does not seem likely that the body has been in any river for ten months.

I (Lauren) had planned to post a Patreon episode I was editing last night, but I never finished due to the news of Rebekah being identified today.  It IS coming! Thank you for your patience, and until then we hope you will familiarize yourself with Rebekah's case. We believe she is a victim and that her case needs attention.

Thank you!

Lauren and John

My most sincere condolences to Rebekah’s mother, family, friends, and others who love her. This truly epitomizes bittersweet. While the loved ones face the brutal finality of Rebekah no longer being alive, they are socially expected to have some relief in this finality. What a double-edged sword. I feel so badly for everybody affected.

Jessica Trump

I have been thinking of Rebekah and her family a lot. So devastating. So glad she’s been found, but oh the heartache. I know this will be brought to light enough that it WILL be investigated. I just know it will. Your beautiful daughter WILL have justice. 🙏

What happened to the video? I was looking so forward to watching this one.

I am sorry to post this here, as I think that the comments on the response to the JD verdict seem to be closed. Please can you do a deep dive on power dynamics, litigation abuse, coercive control, DV and the stages leading to homicide? Seems like a perfect opportunity to educate, to have that conversation, as it seems to me like it's desperately needed. It probably needs to be pointed out again and again. It's very hard for most people to wrap their head around. Thank you so much for having the integrity and courage to do this in such an intelligent, sensitive and empathetic way. (PS: can you please reassure me that it was just closed comments and not me being blocked, maybe by mistake?)

Has the State’s Attorney Generals office been contacted to investigate what is going on with the sheriff in that area?

Sidney Brown

I second this. As a forensic nurse examiner that frequently works with survivors of domestic violence and non fatal strangulation, the dymanics and cycles are super super important.
