Nightmare in Suburbia: Living with the Enemy S1E5 | A True Story

When 15-year-old Jenna Baldwin went missing, her parents and the police thought she'd runaway in a fit of teenage rebellion. Then, detectives discovered her occasional phone calls home weren't all they seemed.

I can’t stand child abusers. If a dog hurts a child they put the dog down. They need to do the same to sick individuals. Period.! End of story.!!!

The step father was molesting the daughter more than likely that was her secret.😢 such a horrific man I hope he’s in prison for the rest of his life. 😢😢😢

[fabiwilliams]

A drastic change in child behaviour, rebellion, wanting to stay away from family & the change in relationship between Jenna & her step father is a sure sign of sexual abuse. Only something that bad would cause this murder to happen

[charleyshaaz]

This monster violated Jenna, and silence her after she threatened to tell about the abuse, he then silenced her for good😞

[Littlemouse]

So the neighbour heard her shouting at her stepdad and watched as he dragged her inside but never phoned the police ?

Not only kill and dispose of her Jenna's body, but to torment her mother. Utterly despicable, hope he rots in prison.
RIP Jenna 🙏❤️

When I divorced my husband, my daughter was just a kid. However, I made her a promise that she would never have a step-father. Not under my roof. I said to her, from this day forward 'It will be you and me against the world!" I kept that promise to her. She is now 35, graduated 2 colleges, successful, and just wonderful. Always thanking me for having shield her from the horror stories she heard in school. At 25, she had the words' "you and me against the world" tattooed on her shoulder that Mother's Day. Nobody comes before my child!

Anyone who says 'she's mature for her age' immediately sets of warning bells, it's usually because someone (in this case her stepdad) is making her do mature things she isn't ready for.

This narrators voice is just beautiful. So articulate, crisp and lovely.

[Liitebulb]

Being "mature for your age" is not a compliment. It means children, usually girls, are forced to look out for themselves when adults won't do it and they're usually sexual1sed at an early age. It is not normal to have an ex boyfriend at 15, a 13 year old with a 2 year relationship with a 17 year old. I'm hearing adults making a lot of excuses for themselves particularly the parents.

Ladies and gentlemen, please becareful who you're bringing into your homes among your children. There are a lot of wolves in sheep clothing in this world that we live in. Open your eyes. RIP, Jenna.

Pedophiles often groom women to get to their children. Heartbreaking to find out the hard way when you are a loving and trusting person yourself 😢

[loriminutoli]

So many red flags listening to this horrible crime. So sad she didn't feel she was able to share her secret with anyone especially her mum. I think it's obvious what her secret was.
Rest in peace beautiful Jenna 😔

[Papario]

I think we all know what he was doing to Jenna to cause the dramatic change in her behaviour. This vile and pathetic excuse for a man is just another abuser in the worst way possible.
Red flags are signs like him not accepting her choices, constant criticism and trying to portray her in a bad light. All control issues and shows the true dislike and anger at his ability to control and silence her slipping from his hands.
I'm so sorry this happened to Jenna, so sorry for her Mum, siblings and family. Her poor siblings now have a murderer for a father and will have to live with the traumatic realisation their father killed their sister. My heart breaks for them.
I hope he rots in this life and the after life.
Fly free Jenna, your light will always shine brightly on this world x

[elainebines]

So horrific that he not only murdered his stepdaughter but to all intent and purposes taunted the family and friends afterwards. Great police work thank goodness, which ensured the monster was imprisoned

[caseymanuel]

Cases like this are why I stayed single to raise my children…. I just made them my priority. Now that they are all grown I’ve met a wonderful man I’ve been with almost 3 years who also has grown children. I regret nothing. I’m glad I made the choices I did.

[bettyechols]

Unbelievable, that they didn't investigate the stepfather FULLY when she disappeared....

[kayenta]

When you are a divorced mom, do yourself and your children a favor and raise them on your own. It's not easy, I know, but they don't get molested by someone you brought into the house and it keeps them alive.

[dellamcconnochie]

Why would you continue to use his name why would you bury Jenna
using his name I would change it completely it's quiet obvious what he did to Jenna

[Puddleduck]

My mum re married when I was just 4. My 'step' dad is the most amazing man on earth. He's cared for myself and my siblings like his own, for over 30 years now 🫶 he's the only man that has never hurt me. He's taught me how to do DIY, basic car mechanics and all sorts of other wierd & wonderful life skills. He's also shown me how to love unconditionaly and he treats my mum like a queen, he is our hero ❤
