  1. He got away with so much for so long. First, the attemped murder of his mom and stepdad and siblings, he only gets probation. He admitted to being upset because his mom nagged him, blew the family home up. And a judge said porbation, are you kidding? Then attacks his ex wife and the police let it go because he wouldn't give up his DNA. They couldn't have tracked him and gotten it off of a cup etc.? Then he has what seems like a Ponzi scheme going bilking people out of money. Finally, he murders his wife because she wants a divorce. Something tells me if they would have put him away the first or even second time this might not have happened. I pray Katrina Smith rests in paradise and may God comfort her family and friend's 🌺

  2. This happened in my hometown, it was such a sad story.

  3. ^^^^
    Investitionen in den digitalen Markt sind wirklich ratsam, da ich trotz der jüngsten Ereignisse auf dem digitalen Markt immer noch alle zwei Wochen etwa 29.000 US-Dollar Gewinn mit meinen Investitionen erziele

  4. There was only 9 minutes of the show. I think it was the husband, but don’t know what happened and did they find her.

  5. When they say my best friend it’s not her best friend. My sister had that line on her wedding invitation and it turns out he would beat her, he had several affairs, had a child with one of his mistress and she finally left him when he put a gun to her head. She divorced him.

  6. Please help Israel from arab country 😢😢😢😢

  7. Please help Israel 😢😢😢😢😢

  8. I LOVE HOW HE CALLED THE POLICE JUST FROM NOT SEEING HER.

  9. I went to this trial… my son was his CO in jail. Huge sociopath

  10. Her stomach sank upon hearing her sister did not show up from work?
    Common on, now. That is the burrito she ate before – gassy.

  11. Weddings make me cringe. The brides are the sacrifice and many lives are destroyed metaphorically and literally.
    She said he is her best friend.
    So tragic.

  12. I went to school with Todd…..

  13. (Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy, he who has ears to hear let him hear and blessed is he who understands.)

    “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.

    “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

    “All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 8 to 10.

    “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

    “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

    “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.”

    Acts, chapter 8, verse 22.

    “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4, verse 17.

    “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.”

    Hosea, chapter 6, verse 2.

    “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    “knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

    “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

    “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 52.

    “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.

  14. They all deserve to go to jail – she cheated on her husband. Guy Gabriel is a cheater. Don't hit on married woman dude it's not cool

  15. She clearly shook her head no when she was telling him " I love you" while marrying him….hmmm

  16. IT'S ALWAYS THE HUBBY…especially when he's the one who reports her missing

  17. Wears the rest of this story

  18. LOVE 20/20 please keep bringing up shocking cases with crazy twists!!!!!!! I live for it!!!!!!

  19. People think my first husband is a stand-up guy and he pushed me down a mountain. I still have the scar. I put him through medical school, he did nothing but cheat… I'm sure his fellow coworkers would be shocked…

    30 years later I find out it was because his jealous friend was filling him with bullshit, telling him if he was going to be a rockstar drummer he didn't need to be with one woman he wanted to be with them ALL..he wanted to kill him because HE wanted to be with me…My second husband, he told his baby's mama a lie just so she wouldn't kick his ass and she was waiting down at the end of my street with a very large black man (NOTHING RACIST, IT'S THE TRUTH) waiting for him to leave my house. There should have been no reason he was at my house but he called the night before, to ask if he could have coffee then proceeded to Pace in my kitchen for 45 minutes until it was time for him to leave and he shoved me in the car… I saw them as we were leaving…

    The man was picked up several years later, I had a heart attack when I saw his mugshot on TV for a murder for hire…

    Both were pretty popular in town, everyone knows them both.

    They were in two of the biggest bands in town.

    You never really know somebody. Trust no one.

    I can't.
