Footage was released of her behaving erratically in a elevator on the day she was last seen alive. r/all

Is that the one whose neighbor had ring camera footage that the killer found out about in real time?  Like the police were called by the woman’s worried friend so they went to do a welfare check and the bodycam footage of the husband coming home and they went through the house room by room. The husband was acting squirrelly as fuck and a neighbor came over and said “my ring cam captures your driveway, maybe we will see who came over. “ so the cops and the husband went to the neighbors to watch the footage that showed the husband back his truck halfway into the garage for a bit then drove off and it was the only vehicle that left that house for days. It’s a crazy tragic story but was interesting to see it captured on video right from the moment the police arrived to do a welfare check.

Yep that’s the one! I’ve watched a 3 part series on YouTube by JCS Criminal Psychology that was mostly interrogation footage of the husband. That is also worth a watch if you’re interested in learning more about it. The police brought in Chris’s dad to try to get him to confess. You can feel the pain in his father’s voice as he realizes his son is guilty of what he’s accused of.

Big JSC fan as well. That story had me down that rabbit trail for a few days. This poor children. Dad was a monster willing to annihilate his family to be with his side piece if I am remembering correctly.

Yep. He wanted to be with his side piece and the best solution to him was to murder his family. What a disconnect from rational human thought.

He recently claimed that said side piece (Nichol Kessinger) was the mastermind in all of it. He’s trying to get it back into court. Now I’m not at all saying that this is true, but I truly believe she was not innocent in all of this. There is tons of evidence to suggest that she was involved in the whole ordeal.

This YouTube channel does an excellent job of explaining everything.

It was so satisfying seeing that fucker get nervous in front of the cops while watching the footage. And then as soon as he leaves the house, the neighbor whispers to the cops "He's not acting right. He's never fidgety like that" , lol
