Man, there's so many people you talk about in the first 10 minutes, that my head is spinning. SO. MANY. SPOUSES

[Chronicroc]

The police also made fun of Charles for believing that he was in danger. When he told them that Lori had directly said she would destroy him if he got in her way they said that wasn't a threat. He seemed like he was a truly lovely person who cared about his children and died because of it, and the police definitely could have prevented this had they taken him seriously.

[helenagreenwood]

The best thing in all of this is how she was removed from the life insurance policy without being informed 😆 he was definitely inspired making that decision

[keijidash]

It’s weird how they can be batsh*t crazy, believe they’re re-incarnated beings, the 2nd coming is nigh, and that everyone’s a zombie; but still have the capacity to do basic bi*c* things like a wedding in Hawaii.

[gracehetfield]

I lost it at "both remained alive" referring Lori's first two husbands.

[jcny]

JJs service dog went back to the breeder. The breeder saw the ad and told Lori she was not authorized to sell the dog.

[Realauntmeme]

So she couldn't divorce Charles because of her religion. Yet she was divorced 3 times already.

[austinhansen]

I guess you held off as long as you could on these two.

Let’s be honest, they earned their place on MONSTERS.

[NewWorldBuddha]

You can see the narcissism oozing out of the faces of Lori and her family members.

[keawarren]

Wish I could have seen Lori’s face the exact moment she found out she wasn’t the $1M life insurance beneficiary.

[Ttbudzalways]

“I purchased the book under sheer curiosity so Im undoubtedly on a list now”

I died 😂😂😂

[buttercxpdraws]

I had to stop the video and cry at 33:38 after I heard that she sold JJ’s service dog. I’m autistic and the pain which she caused that little boy AND that dog is beyond anything that anyone should ever have to experience. 😭😭😭

[roju]

This case is one of the most frustrating cases I've ever followed. The ineptitude and lack of action from the police almost brings my blood to boil. I hope all the victims involved get a form of justice one day.

[texastactalk]

I love that the reporter is more concerned for the children sounded like a genuinely good father

[gingin]

Wow! I bet those cops that told her she didn't seem to be "a danger to herself or anyone else" felt like absolute idiots when they found out the outcome of this horrific story.

[priatalat]

So they found out that she was lying about the sexual abuse, and the fact that she threatened to run away with the kids to Mexico if she didn't get what she wanted, yet still gave her full custody and only visitation rights for the father? I don't even know what to say, how do we as a society think that's okay

[BlackDogMizukage]

Oh boy. I’ve heard about this case from a lot of different sources, but NOBODY does it like Jiles

[slay]

Ive heard this story a bunch but when I seen it done by you, I just HAD to listen to listen to it. There’s not many that tell these stories like you do, so THANK YOU

[cleoglover]

I truly hate women who make false accusations of their kids fathers being sexually abusive etc just to get the kids..like ur not only hurting the man but ur also hurting the children u claim to love...

[nathanidonga]

Has anyone else’s IQ dropped, trying to keep up with all the twists and turns of this chaotic drama?
The narrator is awesome 👏🏿
