Ladies never ever tell an abusive man that u are leaving plan your escape first then while he is gone pack up and go and don't tell anyone where u are going
Wow, when the mom had the premonition...powerful!!
"She was there 5 days without me, and I wanted to be with her." That killed me. A mother's love, knows no bounds.
Once I go over 10 minutes and the husband isn't part of the interview by the 48hrs, I know he's guilty and probably behind bars.
She was such a positive force in the world. Adopting 2 kids and then also those 4 kids belonging to the man that ended up taking her life. May she rest in peace.
What an idiot; he hides her body but doesn't hide the bullets, gun, or her phones? She sounds like a wonderful woman who really cared for the children, RIP
More female role models like Dakota and less like the Kardashians.
he didn't want her, he wanted someone to look after his kids.. seen it a ton of times..
These murderers are suddenly concerned with human life only when it comes to their own, making plea deals to save their own skin. Sickening.
