Baltimore’s Heidi Bernadzikowski case: Scam leads to insurance plot

In late April 2000, around 5 p.m., Stephen Cooke picks up Heidi Bernadzikowski from work downtown in the car they share. He takes her home, then runs some errands. When he returns a few hours later, he opens the door and crosses the threshold to a nightmare -- Heidi's throat has been cut. MORE: bit.ly/3lH6JOf

I agree but, ultimately, the POS boyfriend (and I cringe calling him that) did deserve the harshest sentence. But for him, none of it would have happened. Would those other two POS’s murdered someone else? Probably. But as for her, he betrayed her in the biggest way and he set it all in motion. Had those two not killed her, he would have gotten someone else. I hope he rots in prison and then hell.

I agree. It was his mother who persuaded him to make a full confession if he wanted forgiveness from God which is evidently why he confessed. Most psychopaths take their sins to their graves. He probably got a lighter sentence for confessing. There is a hierarchy of rank among evil men; the masterminds are at the top and the henchmen lower down the food chain and therefore less culpable because they aren't as smart.

[@roselyngaoses7806]

Oh my wooooord just his description of how he killed her is horrific, very disgusting

[@joedennehy386]

They didn't have enough to charge him? Just his admission of being there, the description from the victim, his DNA under her nails. What more did they need short of a confession.

[@sureiamboo]

That poor lady lost her life to these bunch of psychos. My God never trust anybody in this world!

[@hopemccubbin8661]

The 911 operators are so bizarre. I know they are supposed to get information but telling people to stay with them on the phone when another person is suffering or in crisis and asking dumb questions sounds so asinine

[@tmcl1837]

It seemed asinine to me, too. I see no reason for it.

[@yaa63]

So satisfying when justice is made...God bless the detective that brought at least some peace to the family.

[@DeathRowExecutions]

He was the neighborhood watch guy? Are you kidding me? That is ridiculous. Poor Heidi

[@mildredpierce4506]

Of course he only pretended to be. Heidi knew he wasn't from the neighborhood.

[@SLone3251]

It's amazing the ridiculous loops and holes people jump through to collect life insurance money, really. You'd have a quicker time making money through an honest living than doing crap like this and having it catch up to you.

[@angelacharlebois6567]

When your hubby is paying money for a life insurance policy that is more than his monthly paycheck...you gotta think🤔🤔

[@Rachaelann59]

As a lifelong Baltimore resident, I have very little faith in the local PD, but these detectives seem sincere and did an amazing job getting to the bottom of what happened to poor Heidi..Rip

[@aidencooke6466]

this detective is acting like he knows my family, he obviously knows nothing abut my family

[@John-kv7jo]

The lack of emotion in the 911 call points to the boyfriend's involvement in the murder.

[@H_A_L_7]

Yup In the beginning, I was; wow I am wrong about analysing his phone call, and finding it lacking in emotions despite the sobs, when they mention the dna belongs to someone else far away. Lucky for the police the killer had a Jesus moment. He’s been forgiven, now he can describe the incident without any remorse. Let’s hope the police detecting process and procedures, are as stated much better now. Frightening a man of no scruples, the moment she decides to leave him, he remembers the insurance and got to work on it. He probably would have killed her, if she had stayed with him. Accidental death bigger payments. Life with no parole and 30 years on top. 👍

[@laurenleeonethree]

These stories make me terrified to ever have a life insurance policy again 😭

[@sophielikespudding3755]

Yes the same boyfriend that cried like a baby,

[@AnalystManIssac]

That was some of the fake is crying ever over the 911 call, you can tell it wasn’t genuine.

[@addieISme]

You can tell the defense attorney doesn't believe the words that are coming from her own mouth.

[@liriogalvan9131]

Believe I hate attorneys when they lied about to damage the reputation of the one is dead unbelievable 🙏🌻🌞💜🇺🇸

[@kenkena.4365]

Ohhh great !! I haven't seen this one before !!! Oohhwee😂 when your a crime watch daily addict and have just about seen EVERY episode so I watch the reruns over and over lol .

[@CryptoNexis]

I’m so glad the interviewer isn’t an investigator...that sounds reasonable...umm no.

[@sunshinehand1223]

This interviewer of the show right now is questionable. I watched another case earlier, where she asked a whole family to leave the room. She suggested that, the children leave first. In about 2-3 seconds, she asked a weird question. Then suggested that, the adult family members, who didn't realize the killer, in so many words is in their family should go too. At least 6 family members, adults and children, was out of the room at this point. It turned out that, the victim's sister's husband, left DNA in the car. No other DNa but his and the deceased. The victim's sister was his wife. There was life insurance involved too! This host\interviewer, needs to be cancelled!

[@billnalder1017]

Life Insurance in so many cases equals a death warrant~

[@robsledgegroupie]

"Fixed his sister's plumbing"?!? 😂😂😂😂

[@healthyscents]

The defense lawyer seems not believing her own words.🤣 R.I.P sweet Heidi.❤️

[@NicoleCzarnecki]

Sadly, many defense attorneys are as corrupt as the defendants whom they represent.

[@rogerdodger4307]

Just Daaayyyuuummm!! What a rollercoaster ride this one was. 😨

[@IZRElLO747]

Yep! All the twists and turns

[@kennobu8181]

Defense lawyer: no computer, no evidence of contract Also Defense lawyer: killer have fallen in love with victim through internet, prove me wrong

[@isabelramirez381]

So glad that this the detectives never give up. Thanks for all the hard work justice was served for the victim.

[@mouhesen]

I still don't know why someone would even think of killing someone else . I can't even imagine

[@alexthedeal1827]

Heidi was really goodlooking, seemed kind too. So sad for her this happened.

[@dragonflyy000]

This one had me on the edge of my seat!!! SO did not see this ending coming... Wow. Great job Detectives!!! RIH HEIDI ♥

[@forgoneconclusion2861]

That boyfriend did not sound very upset at all on the 911 call. I've heard more people upset from their dog dying than this loser! You just found your girlfriend MURDERED with her throat slit? I think most guys would be throwing up from that sight and unable to talk, not going in to sit with them!

[@maryalico4313]

Ya we all get that.......

[@amandaschamper1494]

And you hear him say immediately “she was murdered” not “she’s hurt and bleeding” He doesn’t check if she’s alive. Because he knew she was dead, because he ordered it.

[@elainevankat5353]

Absolutely agree! Saying to the 911 operator “she’s been murdered” was totally a weird thing to say!!

[@NicholasGuccione]

1:15 "The worst break.." Folks, that's what we call flawless script wring, and "double entendre". Purely brilliant writing. Possibly the best use of the English language, I've EVER seen.

[@zzzroxyzzz]

I'm glad they figured it out. I dont think they'll ever find my friends killer, Baltimore is just too overwhelmed with crime, they don't have the manpower to really investigate every single homicide.

[@coolrunnings3]

While watching I felt guilty about suspecting the bf quite quickly n then the real killer came on. I was telling myself; don’t jump to conclusions too fast. Turns out . . . 😨

[@officerricky5065]

I felt exactly the same especially on tht 911 call. Didn’t seems legit. Who lost a wife n so concern about proving they weren’t home by providing multiple receipts instead of grieving n letting an investigation plays out?

[@bc7319]

They had me at the Life Insurance policy, knew it would come back to the boyfriend. 700K, not even married, dude works at Lowe's. Too obvious on his receipts as an alibi. Contract killing possibility should have been investigated early on, probably did and he got lucky. Glad for DNA testing, come to Jesus moments and justice. Single men and women, be careful, background check everyone getting too serious too fast!

[@Earthssilhouettes]

Lol right! I kept saying to myself, "nope! Don't change your mind! He is guilty! He couldn't wait for her to finish using the bathroom, the 911 call sounded rehearsed, and the title of this true crime mentioned insurance money."

[@Karen-dm5lb]

@@Earthssilhouettes Perfect analysis !! They had me at the title first then at the insurance amount. Guilty as charged !

[@Earthssilhouettes]

@@Karen-dm5lb right! some people don't deserve a fair trial 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@uniqueLeo08]

Wait, now maybe im shooting in the dark but on most 911 calls... people say the person is dead not murdered 🤔

[@RexxQuanDoze]

Cold piece of dirt. Describing the murder like picking up a happy meal

@8:51 : As a Monty Python fan, that really threw me off-guard 😂😜

You let a dude you’re not even married to who works at Lowe’s get a $700K insurance policy on you... what.
