The parents of a now 18-year-old girl are feeling deeply disturbed after they happened on a perverse find nestled under piles of paper in their daughter Madison’s bedroom. This single find unearthed four years of horror nobody knew was happening, except for one man.
Bradley McCollum, 48, was a friend and neighbor to the Reed family in Beaverton, Oregon. The two families enjoyed vacations together at McCollum’s beach home as well as regularly getting together for casual events. But all the good times ended in a nightmare after Madison’s parents discovered tiny cameras secretly hidden throughout her bedroom that were put there by McCollum, who had been monitoring the teen’s every move since she was just 13-years-old, KGW-TV reported.
According to the Oregonian, Madison’s mother saw McCollum leave her daughter’s bedroom one day after he had been visiting with the family, which seemed odd, so she decided to search the girl’s room. That search led to the parents finding a motion-activated camera a little smaller than a cell phone underneath some belongings.
The bedroom monitoring system discovery led to an investigation, which found that McCollum had also equipped his beach home with cameras, so he could watch Reed while on vacation as well. Unbeknownst to Madison and her parents, for four years there was practically nothing the teen did in private that McCollum didn’t watch. The footage at times even showed Madison naked, according to KGW.
“I don’t like to think about it, but I think about it all the time — like all day. Every day,” Madison said. “There’s no choice but to think about it.”
Madison’s parents are reeling from the disturbing discovery, trying to wrap their heads around the fact that a close friend had done this to their daughter. “We were looking for every excuse to think it was someone else until we found proof,” Clark Reed, Madison’s father, said. “Our world was upside down.”
McCollum pleaded guilty this week to charges of burglary and invasion of personal privacy and now awaits sentencing, which is supposed to take place in March. He is expected to receive two years behind bars as part of the plea deal.
