It’s amazing that people try to make the scene look like a robbery-gone-wrong, but then forget to “steal” things 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Macinizby]

It’s insane to me how many people seem to think murder is a better way to end a relationship than breakup or divorce

[jolo]

3 things I've learned and am surprised that some people haven't:
#1: It's never a robbery gone wrong.
#2: Don't set up your alibi on your 911 call.
#3: It's always an undercover cop, not a hitman.
Bottom line: Just get a damn divorce!

[ziff_]

How are people who commit cold-blooded, first degree, PRE-MEDITATED murder even eligible for parole at any point? insane.

[themultiverseman]

I mean she could’ve just gotten a divorce and run away with Jeff 🤦🏽‍♂️
And this is the first time I’ve heard that a life insurance policy wasn’t involved. Why do people feel the need to murder someone to get out of a relationship or marriage?
Rest In Peace Michael Reese

[symptomoftheuniverse]

The coworker who informed the husband, there was a hit on him? Wtf? Why the hell did he NOT go to the police?!

[ronnieerwin]

If Mickey Mouse can't save your marriage I don't know what to tell you

[grahamgreene]

i really like the interrogator in this. He has a very deliberate and inviting way of talking - it's a little hypnotic almost.

[johnhenderson]

What are my thoughts?….There is a legal process you can use for an incompatible marriage, it’s called a “Divorce “! Perhaps she would have been wiser to go through that process rather than the murder of a poor innocent man that had no chance to defend himself. That’s my thinking and just an opinion.

[joseesparza]

Poor guy, seemed like a genuine man. Sucks that your life can mean so little when you’re with the wrong person. RIP brother 🙏🏼🕊️

[Nugget]

I don't know why people feel a need to kill people.
Just leave the relationship, it's not that hard.
Why risk spending the rest of your life in jail?

[christinajames]

I think they should use flimsy plastic lawn chairs in these interrogation rooms. Everyone loves when the legs snap off underneath someone who deserves it 💁🏽‍♀️

[matthews]

Can't imagine why the husband lost interest.

[tabby]

She shot him while he greeted his dogs .... that broke my heart even more 😢💔

RIP Michael

[jasonhendrickson]

She is a horrible liar, I mean I see why she was immediately suspected.... even a blind man can see her failing at trying to express emotion for the guy she had killed 👍🏼

[mm-qjcc]

Her 911 is so telling. Also someone's occupation does not automatically make them a good person w/integrity.

[ayrtoncar]

I loved the moving diagrams you used in the video. They look great, really help viewers get a better understanding of the crime and are pretty unique! Btw- Did you mention hiw many years the pastor was sentenced to? I know he got a deal but I don’t remember you mentioning how many years it actually was.

[sweeneytodd]

ill never understand how people who use a staged robbery to cover up their role in a crime so often fail to remove anything from the house, i mean even the dumbest of people can surely work out if you are staging a burglary then there needs to be items stolen.

[richlewis]

The fact that she went to the Piggly wiggly is just absolutely perfect. That name fits her perfectly
