What a waste of a life over what? Jealousy and control? If a dude so easily hooks up while you are on a break up or cheats on you or moves on take him seriously. Move on too. This poor girl deserved to live her life. She was an Angel.

[shawnakillen]

The way her life was commemorated in the beginning of this was beautiful. Such a genuine soul, taken too soon.

[magdasmith]

Just an edited repeat. Lately it's mostly old cases being repeated.

[Rebwell]

So she killed that beautiful girl, didn’t get the guy and got plastic surgery to make herself look less attractive. 🤔

[mishacievertz]

I wonder if she got colin back after killing moriah...she's such an idiot that can't control her emotions...she could have lived a free life but killing was her resolution ... Unbelievable spending the rest of your life in jail for killing someone you didn't even know ...if colin wanted to marry you, he would have ...Now colin is going to move on get married to someone else, have a family while you rot in jail..what a good resolution for you...

[JE-]

And yet again over a guy who flip flops....and what's the point? . They almost never end up with the guy/girl that they killed for and end up in prison anyway. It’s always such a waste of life for nothing but ego. Such stupidity and lack of emotional intelligence.

RIP Moriah
The very talented beautiful Moriah lost her life because Colin cheated on his jealous possessive girl freind.
Keep Catelyn locked up.

[samcronos]

Taking someone's life and ruining your own over a man that doesn't even value you wow

[Swansong]

..one lost her life..one ruined her life for this guy and she's not with him now anyway

[OutpostMJ]

Moriah Wilson, a beautiful person -- kind, dynamic, talented -- destroyed by a sociopath over the stupidest thing possible: jealousy and possessiveness over a sexual relationship.

[danmahon]

Caitlin is a wicked witch. Thank God the detectives spotted her!

[AmorDivino-eq]

Kaitlin mistake was to continue in the yoga world, an go to a place where there is extradition to the States. Im glad she wasn't that intelligent and got caught.

[ValleyoftheRogue]

Moral of the story: A man is not worth spending the rest of your life behind bars.

[samcronos]

Such a senseless act of violence.. the guy will eventually move on get married and live his life and she will be in prison with nobody. Sometimes people don't think

[inaschultz]

Who on the hell buys a house and allows someone to start and finance their business, takes. Break, and screws some chick for a week, and doesn:t expect trouble?

[traviscoates]

Ya lost me at "The Daily Beast"

[kellykapowski]

See, when these folks are in their twenties, relationships, during this time, are extremely important. Yet, for some reason it's an age of 'jealousy.' Speaking from experience. We all get older, and wiser, and are faced with how ridiculous that age was... in no way would this fly in our older lives. So sad. The green monster hasn't changed though, over the years.

[ponygirlusa]

The detectives saying the killer was intelligent is laughable. If she were intelligent, she wouldn't have murdered Mo.

[muchlove]

Nobody who looks that beautiful can easily hide or pass by unnoticed

[redrose]

She was so beautiful charming i just saw her picture on thumbnail and click sorry for her family they lost their precious jewel
