I keep telling everyone that human trafficking but most people don't seem too concerned. We have programs about it at school and it has been on the news. I just saw something about human trafficking to harvest organs. That means even us old farts are not safe. I do hope that is not what has happened but no trace does not sound too good. |

Since his truck is wrecked I wonder if maybe he could be wondering around in the brush/woods hurt and has memory lost. That was my first thought was to get a search party on foot and horse back looking for him. |

We had a presentation on human trafficking at school second highest illegal money making scheme in the US, just behind drugs. About a year and a half ago there was a story on the local news about human trafficking. The presentation at school was an eye opener. The one on the news was very disturbing. All these young people on facebook disappearing is very disturbing. Add's disappearance without a trace is pretty disturbing. Continued prayers |

I just heard now to get a Kansas driver's license you have to take human trafficking training before it is issued. I thought that was strange but I guess I had no idea what a huge issue it is - I just thought it was for sex, never occurred to me about organs! Holy cow! |

You have to take human trafficking training before you can get/renew your CDL in Arkansas as well.

| All of you should get a lesson from this. Even if you are mad at everyone, you need to check in with someone on a daily basis and tell them you are still kicking. It could have been months before anyone knew Add was missing but his family knew where he was supposed to be. A week is really too long for someone to be missing. |

Maybe 1D would rather her write "I will not shoot and kill anyone again" 100 times on the blackboard. I personally am all for capital punishment if a person is found guilty of murder. That she confessed is a pretty big finger point at her being guilty... |

One of the articles I read said that she was a room mate?? No mention of a motive...it also said he was ready to move back to South Carolina.....maybe that made her mad??? But enough kill him?
I was SO hoping for a better outcome.

i read a facebook post this mourning said his horse is missing and a bunch of his saddles and tack missing.
The article said the woman that killed him showed them where his trophy saddles were. I read that the woman was angry because his moving back home meant that she would be homeless. I assume they got in a fight over it and she killed him. I guess she won't have to worry about being homeless any more. She's got 3 hots and a cot paid for by the state (as if we can afford it....not). Just tragic and heartbreaking for all concerned. |

From what I have heard, the person took 3=4 horses, saddles, bridles....a whole lot of his stuff. Person went back the next day and the sheriff's dept stopped her from going on the property. I believe it all now becomes a civil suit to get his stuff back. Also that they have 2 males in custody and looking for an additional female that they can not find. |

Location: Oklahoma | You cannot believe everything you hear! Tales will be and is going around like crazy! Ive never known someone murdered before! always on tv or from friends of a friend. So please lets not be judgmental and jump to conclusions! I know that it is hard when something like this happens and that everyone wants to point fingers! There is so much more to this story! and it is not always as it seems! We should be uplifting to everyone involved instead of throwing stones until the whole story is told and the people that done wronged is proved to have done wronged! If fingers are gonna be pointed it should be at the shooter! She is in jail and I am sure she was not alone. Knowing Add and living in the same town you won't believe the stories! I am praying that justice be served and to the right people that it needs to be! Praying for all involved! One more thing words are so powerful! wrong accusations can really hurt and effect someone! |

We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all the love, support, stories shared and kind words spoken about Add Waddell during this very difficult time. He touched so many lives while pursing his passion with horses. I have always believed that family doesn't always mean blood. The horse world has showed us that it is one big family, and we are thankful to have experienced the positive vibes they sent our way as our world was crushed. Big thanks to everyone who welcomed us with open arms. So many people were there to pick us up when we didn't know if we had the strength to get through the days we were there even though they were hurting during all this too... We came home with broken hearts but also with a big extended family that we love and are thankful for so much. I have received a good bit of messages on a lot of different situations dealing with everything that has happened so here it is...As far as the news... We choose not to speak out as at the time because we were dealing with a lot emotionally. The interview that Jamie did was perfect and we are glad she could share that with us and everyone else.
As far as how generous Add was... Items with sentimental value that people have or come across and want to get to us we are forever grateful. Please contact Kappy Allen, she is helping with getting everything to us here in the Carolinas. I will list her contact information below.

As far as a Memorial in Oklahoma... A few people said something about putting one together. Any information about anything that anyone is wanting to do please contact me with the details because we really hope we will be able to attend one. It is a 16 hour drive and with Court things that we will be back in town for we aren't able to come back as often as we would like to be apart of everything. There is one taking place on July 15 at 7 pm at the Jim Shoulders Living Legends Rodeo Arena in Henryetta, Ok. I don't think we are going to be able to attend unfortunately but please share pictures and videos here or to my private page. We want to be able to have as many things to share with our lil man to make sure he knows how amazing his PapaAdd was.
As far as a Memorial here in the Carolinas... We are still working on some details due to some things out of our control. I know a lot of people wanted to know in case they could come and I promise to post here on this page and update this post as well.
As far as the GoFundMeAccount... It is a legit account. Laura Rodgers reached out to Addison to make sure it was ok because she wanted to help with the financial burden this has put in play between travel expenses and things to come.
We are thankful for everyone that has helped in every way big or small without even being asked. I don't know when any of us will get closure in this horrible situation, but we all have to stick together and keep Add's Legacy alive. I hope we can make Add proud by showing his grandson the great man he was and the talent he had because he was taken way too soon and couldn't do it himself. I'm sorry for this long post and if I fumbled across words with my run on sentences lol... I am psychically and mentally drained but I really wanted to clear somethings up and express how thankful we are.
It is still an ongoing investigation and any information please contact the Okmulgee Sheriff's Office so we can get justice for the amazing man, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend that we all love that he truly deserves. |

We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all the love, support, stories shared and kind words spoken about Add Waddell during this very difficult time. He touched so many lives while pursing his passion with horses. I have always believed that family doesn't always mean blood. The horse world has showed us that it is one big family, and we are thankful to have experienced the positive vibes they sent our way as our world was crushed. Big thanks to everyone who welcomed us with open arms. So many people were there to pick us up when we didn't know if we had the strength to get through the days we were there even though they were hurting during all this too... We came home with broken hearts but also with a big extended family that we love and are thankful for so much. I have received a good bit of messages on a lot of different situations dealing with everything that has happened so here it is...
As far as the news... We choose not to speak out as at the time because we were dealing with a lot emotionally. The interview that Jamie did was perfect and we are glad she could share that with us and everyone else.
As far as how generous Add was... Items with sentimental value that people have or come across and want to get to us we are forever grateful. Please contact Kappy Allen, she is helping with getting everything to us here in the Carolinas. I will list her contact information below.

As far as a Memorial in Oklahoma... A few people said something about putting one together. Any information about anything that anyone is wanting to do please contact me with the details because we really hope we will be able to attend one. It is a 16 hour drive and with Court things that we will be back in town for we aren't able to come back as often as we would like to be apart of everything. There is one taking place on July 15 at 7 pm at the Jim Shoulders Living Legends Rodeo Arena in Henryetta, Ok. I don't think we are going to be able to attend unfortunately but please share pictures and videos here or to my private page. We want to be able to have as many things to share with our lil man to make sure he knows how amazing his PapaAdd was.
As far as a Memorial here in the Carolinas... We are still working on some details due to some things out of our control. I know a lot of people wanted to know in case they could come and I promise to post here on this page and update this post as well.
As far as the GoFundMeAccount... It is a legit account. Laura Rodgers reached out to Addison to make sure it was ok because she wanted to help with the financial burden this has put in play between travel expenses and things to come.
We are thankful for everyone that has helped in every way big or small without even being asked. I don't know when any of us will get closure in this horrible situation, but we all have to stick together and keep Add's Legacy alive. I hope we can make Add proud by showing his grandson the great man he was and the talent he had because he was taken way too soon and couldn't do it himself.

Location: South Carolina | Hey Yall... My name is Brittany, I am "Lil Add's" fiance. I just want to say thank you for everyone's kind words and prayers. Before all this when you would "google" Add Waddell many things came up... A solid foundation video... Waddell Quarter Horses... Articles of his soft hands and gentleness with horses... So many positive things that he had put his life into... Now its News articles of his murder. Except post like these. When I came across this site about a week after we got back to the Carolina's it really gave me chills. With everything that was going on to see so many people cared meant so much... These last few months have been really hard. I have literally read every post and comment more than once bc things like this is what we have now. People that we have never met nor have to show love and support have... I really can't thank yall enough. If any of yall have facebook, I have started a page where we can all share memories and pictures. I also try to update everything that is going on with the case... We would greatly appreciate any and everyone that would be apart of it. Thanks again for all the support and love! <3

I talked with Add 2 or 3 times at some supershows. He was very approachable and nice to visit with and I loved the way he handled his horses. Very down to earth and obviously, quite the horseman. Continued prayers for his family and friends.

Location: South Carolina | I have been hesitant on making this post for a while for many of reasons, but it time to stop playing nice and get things done. First off, let me say that y'all have been amazing to our family during this tragic time in our lives and we can't thank y'all enough for that. But we need some help from y'all... I have tried to do everything I can from 16 hours away and keeping up with everything back in Oklahoma, but there is a lot I am limited to. Over the last 6 months I have worked endlessly on every possible aspect of Waddell being taking away from us. Hearing stories of how his possessions have been sold for next to nothing, "certain" people having things in their possession, and seeing his things being sold on for sale and wanted sites on facebook has seriously been heartbreaking. I know that we will not get a lot of things back, but this is my attempt to recover something/anything... The Sheriff's Dept. did recover a good bit of trophy saddles and some tack. We have what they recovered, some things that were left in his home, his truck, and (empty)horse trailer. If you have purchased, know someone who has purchased, or know where something is please, please, please let me know. I'm not here to call anyone out, or start any trouble. We just want his belongings and will buy it back if need be. Some of the things that are still "missing" are... his necklace with a ring on it, wallet, all of his riding saddles, trophy saddles, all most all of his horse tack, and cowboy hats just to name a few... His home was completely ransacked, and everything he has worked his whole life was gone. We don't know many people in Oklahoma nor in the Horse World so all I can do at this point is ask for help... Big or small it all is appreciated. Any information can be sent to my personal facebook page, Waddell Quarter Horse Page, or you can contact me directly on my cell at 843-287-1721. Please share and help us locate and recover his personal belongings. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for everything y'all have done and continue to do! -Brittany
