Still having a conversation with the man who killed the father of her kids tells me everything I need to know.
Her ex is 1 hour late and she calls 911. Then she is in his house crying and asking what she we tell the kids. She knew daddy was never coming home.
Calling your kids “ those two “. ….😮
She straight up lied to the 911 dispatch when she said that he normally comes out to greet the children when they arrive. This was her first time dropping them at his place, so how could she say how he normally comes out?
The murderer will speak up some day. He wont be p-whipped forever.
"...never in a million years would I say you had anything to do with this. I--I swear." Sounds like he is reassuring her that he will not snitch on her.
She was without a doubt involved. This evil woman needs to be in prison. Why has she not been arrested yet!!
Her body language and facial reactions say she knew and was involved. She was the only one who stood to gain.
To take a child's loving parent away from them is the worst thing you could ever do to your children.
