I don’t believe Chris has told the full truth yet...

[carolyngrey]

Can you imagine getting home from a trip going to bed next to ur husband who you have known for 8 years & suddenly hes smothering you trying to kill you. Absolutely horrific!

[podfuk]

This detective lady is absolutely brilliant! She knew he is lying POTS!

[Berswinde]

This is no doubt the case of the century. We all will forever be affected and never forget Shanann and her children. Edit: I'm popular

[angie]

I often have prayed for Tami. I think she did an amazing job and she’s put on this earth to put creeps like this behind bars.

[bluer]

People fool themselves believing having a family, a career, being married makes you normal and happy.

[MrBooBeeDoo]

Because of this case, I hug my kids more and harder than ever.

[georgehorlock]

It's cool seeing Tammi upclose in HD. I was expecting her to come across as a bit intimidating like she was in the interview but she has such a kind face and eyes. God bless her.

[patriciaargueta]

“Why not get a divorce?” That right there 👏🏼

[Stargirlbeck]

i can’t believe he never once asked for a lawyer, thank goodness though

[scottaznavourian]

I am not a father probaly never will be..but i look at those two angels and i want to rip this guy in half

[jppcasey]

Among the hero's involved, two stand out the most: Nicole Atkinson who never wavered from the moment she brought Shanann home, and Agent Tammy "The Human Lie Detector" Lee who brought Shanaan and her children home. God bless them.

[judycross]

I wish Tammy would have been the one to interview NK. I bet NK would not have gotten away with not answering questions like she did.

[lepen]

He still lied to his dad, blaming Shannan, when all along he murdered everyone, he admitted all in detail to FBI in prison,

[pookyj]

Bella is the spitting image of Chris. How could he do this— hateful monster!

[Fee]

God bless Tammy Lee and Graham Coder. They are still in my prayers.

[hunterwise]

Tammy Lee is seriously such a badass and absolutely incredible at her job!!! She truly is so doing what she is called to do during this lifetime! Agent Coder was amazing as well and they played so well off of each other....

[IratePuffin]

I’m glad to hear her admit that accusing Shanann of hurting the girls was just a ploy to get a confession. Now maybe all the idiots who believed it will realize the truth.

[fatmanjonestv]

I watched the whole confession tape. The cops planted that story in his head that shanann killed their girls and then he killed her because of that. Then he immediately ran with it like “damn why didn’t I think of that”. He’s just sick. Us normal people can’t even fathom it. I mean your kids, your little girls. My god.

[steveperry]

His " smile" is what a sick man THINKS a smile should look like.
