Absolutely agree with you. 1. She made a 911 call after a masked man pointed a gun at her. 2. Her husband said she vomited twice the night before her death (though there was still food in her stomach) 3. Her husband said she rolled off the bed after she died 4. He remarries 17 days after her death 5. His new wife had pressured him to spend time with her right before his current wife died 6. His new wife bought wedding bands before his current wife was even dead yet

My father died apparently of a heart issue while having surgery…..BUT I found it so weird. No one liked his wife, who was 15 years younger, AND he was cremated immediately. She kept my siblings and our families away from him for at least 5 years. She always had an excuse. And two years before he died he changed his will, leaving everything to her. After he died she called me and told me how sick he had been. Which was weird since my cousin told me my dad had been hiking and traveling up to his death. She showed a conflicting demeanor at his service. One minute smiling and the next minute rubbing her eyes with a tissue, which never looked wet with tears. Right after the service, $15,000 went missing from our trust account he had been handling. (I got it back from her lawyer), and within four months she already had a boyfriend. My dad was in his late 80s so no one thought twice. But maybe I’ve watched too many true crime shows like “Court Tv”, “Dateline”, “20/20”, “48hours” etc. oh and one more little note….she was a nurse. And dad was able to retire at 45. 🤔

Yup I get it. I have a friend of 45 years. When her Mother passed away, a female and her daughter moved in with her Father (3 mil house) within the month, (she played an instrument in his instrumental group). My friend only knew this when she read craigslist and found a number of her mother's items for sale. She phoned the number and the lady answered and then hung up on her when my friend told her who she was. Everything else that her mother owned went to the curb side pick-up. My friend did not get one item of her mother's belonging's, all she wanted was a vase. My friend was not allowed at the house. When her father passed away within 4 years, the lady got everything. House, monies, stocks, bonds, cars etc. Very disheartening.

@@Chasing_Jamie Chad has supernatural powers. You all seen him bless Alex cox. He blessed him with knowledge and also he said he blessed him with strong protection against Satan, Lucifer, and Cain. Maybe he has the power to manipulate the judge and jury.

It should be known as The Doomsday False Prophet Trial

[@iamcimos3567]

The Lord said not to believe in modern day prophets. They know not what they say. Many don't even know where they get their ideas and thoughts from let alone if those thoughts and ideas are true or not. One thing for sure though, if you mess with the Bull you get the horns! Unfortunately chad messed with that Bull long before he married Tammy. Evidence of his lies and other evil tactics go back to when he was a teenager (that i've read about anyways). Karma is long overdue for him. I'm glad the TRUTH is coming out. Praise Lord Jesus and thanks to ALL who are helping!

[@maxinepearce8263]

My uptake on the neighbor was that during the time they lived next to each other, that it was a pleasant time and nothing out of the ordinary occurred. The neighbor probably would not have noticed Chad's current tendencies as they seem to have occurred after they moved to Idaho or just before. Just my thought.
