Took the cowards way out
So the murderer got away with the crime. The girlfriend new 10 years ago and wasn’t charged with anything. That’s not justice.
Sending condolences from all of us tammy's missing persons site
Flabbergasted!!! How can you wait 10 years to tell the police!?!? UNBELIEVABLE!
At least he was able to feel some guilt & remorse for what he did. Most of them are incapable of feeling any shame, guilt or remorse. Then some lefty judge feels sorry for them because they lack the ability to feel guilt or remorse & sentence them to a short stay. So they can victimize someone else.
LOVELY OUTCOME!!!!
Why did she cover for her boyfriend, and say nothing to police as soon as possible? She sat on the information about the case for TEN YEARS. Absolutely sad. She should be charged for withholding information about a murder. Unbelievable. There was no justice served.
So sad and sorry for both of them .
Pos
So….the ex-girlfriend knew for 10 years before coming forward….accessory to murder….the guy kills himself in 2019….and now NBC is waiting 4 years before reporting on this? Uhm. Wtf is wrong with America.
Ha ha ha ha. im so glad that that man is gone. it's so funny. what goes around comes around you loser
If they have known since 2019, why did they just speak to the killer NOW? Y'all didn't solve anything.
As far as I'm concerned, the girlfriend should get jail time as well. She knew for a full 10 years that this individual had committed the crime and said absolutely nothing. Shame on her! At least the person that murdered her in cold blood saved the taxpayers the cost of a trial. I hope he suffered every day of his life.
Coward
Justice for Shanquilla!!
Scary one second alive , second later dead
honestly, if an individual murders and then commits suicide. We should revoke his citizenship and just systematically erase the killer.
The trash took itself out bumer
Aye
RIP and my condolences
I thought this guy was meatloaf
I'm glad she came forward and told the police but she should have done so immediately upon finding this information out from him NOT 10 years later…..
Rest her soul 🙏 violet 💐🌹 she is living peacefully in heaven. Condolences to the family 👪.
Great ending
Coward
Glad hes gone
What a coward !
Umm just wondering why they didn’t get prints from everyone who lived there at the time
The trash took itself out.
so sad all around…..
