The first time Marissa mentioned being in Milford in Pike County, PA, where Bob and Ricky live was March 1, 2023. She was staying with Dave Webb at the time. Nothing we captured seems to allude to Bob and Ricky that year.
But
@Fleetwood found a video Bob posted in June that year of him drumming on a train station railing and in July Marissa posted a video on a bridge, seemingly down in Bucks County with an unseen male friend drumming on the railing. Seems possible she met Bob up in Milford and he drove down to visit. The train station vid has "homeless" in the title, so perhaps Bob was referring to his own past and has particular sympathy for Marissa's self-induced suffering.
That December, Marissa stayed at her second cousin Jerrold's house for a couple of weeks and then with a host who had terminal cancer.
On January 2, she gave us the first clear reference to Bob, saying Robert had contributed percussion to her Cosmic Magician video. It would become clear that she wasn't staying with him, though. On February 14, she made her panicky "storeroom" video in which she's fearing her host will cast her out. She was considering inviting herself into Bob's household. She was afraid of Ricky, though.
On February 29, she did spend the night in Bob's unheated garage studio. It was her first night there and in her videos the next day she seemed resolved to sleep in her car instead.
On April 11, Bob put her on blast in the comments of one of her videos, accepting her demand to go no contact and scolding her for her shitty behavior. "I really tried beyond my means to, at the very least, become your friend," he wrote in response to what seems like a demand for money.
Then crickets for five months when, this Tuesday, she got him to let her sleep in his studio again after she reported Dave to the police, seemingly ending her many and sometimes quite long stays with Dave.
Just to be thorough, I checked the PA sex offender registry for Ricky. Without a surname, I can't be sure he isn't listed somewhere, but for Pike County, PA, where he seems to have resided for more than a year, there's no one with a first or middle name of Richard or Ricky listed. I also ran Bob and Dave in PA and NY and got no hits.

@Raijin In a second video, she says she's staying in Milford. Dave invited her to stay with him and she found being there difficult:
"uh well life is not easy and I really don't want to live where I'm living right now but this person I'm not gonna say they're Dave they're from New York City but they have been living in Milford, Pennsylvania, saying you know why don't you stay here I guess right now it's okay as a temporary place but it's really hard and I can't even get into all the personal details of why uh living with this person is not the easiest thing it's really hard"

Dave now lives across the river in Deerpark, NY, but in 2023 he could have been renting in Milford or Marissa may just refer to the entire area as Milford. But one way for Marissa to have met Bob would be if Bob and Dave lived near each other that winter.
March 4, 2023
She claims to be fleeing Milford because her life is in danger. A friend texted her a while ago that the man she was staying with murdered three women. He has a history of being with people with serious problems. She has known this murderer for two months, which matches Dave's driving a rented truck for her when she left her Staten Island apartment. She can't go anywhere in public with him without being insulted.

Possibly unrelated, Dave's name appeared in the obit of a baby momma who died December 2010. The kid with his surname would now be 15. The woman's death may be something that fuels rumors about him.

Marissa made a video on a Delaware River bridge, possibly in Bucks County, with a male friend who drums on the railing

Interim: Nothing more that seems to be relevant that summer or fall. In December she begs her way into her second cousin's house in upstate New York for two weeks. As of December 16, she seemed to have left there and on December 19 she said she was staying with a friend in upstte New York. On December 28, she was still staying there and said the friend had terminal cancer.
January 2, 2024
Marissa says Robert played percussion on her new Cosmic Magician video. She's likely to have recorded the audio in his garage studio.

Interim: By January 21, it was clear she was housed somewhere because she wasn't ebegging for a moetl. On January 22, she said Harry contributed Raven sounds to a video. On January 25, she says her car was vandalized. She later says it was done by Dave's former girlfriend, Hava Arifi.

After some wandering, Marissa returned to Milford.

In the "storeroom" video, Marissa outlines the horrors of four men she's stayed with or contemplates staying with:
- a veteran with a drinking and drugging problem who's younger than she is,
- an 80-year-old gambler who is addicted to food and sex and has dementia (Dave would actually have been about 70. Later in the year she'll refer to him as a gambler),
- an ex-con who did 15 years for sexually abusing a woman (apparently Ricky), and
- someone who owns a studio (Bob).
She slides back and forth without clueing viewers in to the who/when while describing creepy behavior she's endured. The guy with the baseball bat whom she suspects of fapping in the dark next to her seems to be the vet. But this reference is clearly Bob and Ricky:
"um I am scared of staying at this place down the street here because there was somebody there that was in prison for 15 years for sexually abusing a woman
"he claims he didn't do it and he's in the house where somebody offered me a place to sleep in um a studio there they. it's not a nice Studio it's h very dreary
"I don't know if he even has heat and and they didn't even say I could really stay there"
Apparently referring to Dave she says, "I'm scared some woman said that he murdered somebody."
She did not jump to Bob's place then, given what she says later in the month.

At
5,303 on Feb 24, 2024, I exercised my clairvoyance on behalf of Mr. Webb:
"She may not report you to police for fear they'll notice the expired stickers on her windshield, but don't count on it."
February 29, 2024
She says she has been told Dave is responsible for a woman's death. In comments, she added,
"I need to go to cure a I need to go to a court to file a complaint against people, David Webb, and Hava Arifi."
5,314
Later that day:
"I have to go to court to file a complaint against this man who's an alleged murderer who killed three women or three people"
5,316
She spent the night in Bob's garage studio and told us about it the next morning. The garage is unheated and it had been 25 degrees outside.

"I only slept in the cold garage one day," she said in a comment.

In that video accompanying that comment she said:
"I stayed in a studio for one day and they know this woman uh who uh died in her car recently and they don't know how and some of them have been in prison in this house and uh I don't feel comfortable because I think that there's a vibe that might might be dangerous that I don't know anything about cuz one of them was in prison for 15 years
"they keep talking about the Bible yeah and then one of them uh was found dead in the in the car okay recently and I'm not friends with these people
"I just don't have a place to stay and I stayed in their studio and um you know and you're saying staying homeless shelter I mean the people are in [on] drugs and alcohol
"this guy David web uh supposedly and allegedly murdered a few people I guess by putting them on drugs to try to get his way with them and has babies out of woodlock"
So on February 14, it was a woman who told her of a suspicious death linked to Dave. Now Bob and Ricky tell her about suspicious death and Dave "supposedly and allegedly murdered a few people."

Bob posted a comment scolding Marissa for her rotten behavior and her money grubbing. At the time, she was bouncing between motels. She wanted to go no contact and Bob was in favor of that.
"YOU MIGHT WANT TO BLOCK ME FROM YOUR HIGH AND MIGHTY CHANNEL BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE WHAT YOU READ. You really need to take a look at yourself and how you are treating people that you are begging for help from. No one wants to help someone who berates them or stresses them with all your baggage. Your baggage is also the reason you can't land the simplest of jobs. I really tried beyond my means to, at the very least, become your friend. You can't even keep your mouth shut long enough for me to say anything or express my feelings which you have soured time and time again. So I think it is best that we cancel all contact like you want, because I recently got rid of my anxiety after 7 years and you just brought it back. Thanx for that. Have a good life and I hope it gets better for you, just change up your above all people attitude and you might just do ok. Later"

Bob and Ricky fetched her from the NY side of the river after she called the police claiming Dave Webb abused her. She surreptitiously recorded conversation during the ride, interviewing Ricky about his 15 years in prison for, he says child abuse.

That night, she stayed in the garage studio, complaining of rats and inconsiderate behavior by Ricky, whom she again surreptitiously recorded.

She was back filming in the mirror of the bathroom cabin at the campground she favored during the summer. She doesn't comment on whether she spent another night in the garage studio with Ricky or whether she's still on good terms with Bob.
I want to hear it. Music is about sharing not making success. you of all people should know that.
