Andre says the death of his wife Andreen was an accident. Instead of calling 911 you dispose of the body in a field next to cows. And then you return to crush her skull and burn her body. Accident? Accident? Andre literally killed his wife 2 times in the name of self-defense. Truly shocking!!!

you are correct it is very terrifying that some predator coward cld decide to take an innocent life. sometimes I wonder why God gave us free will, its clear some of us do not deserve the privilege to make decisions especially when it comes to taking lives.

My first experience with death in this life was a serial killer. I had a beautiful teenage girl living across the street in Cypress California. I was in first grade. We had the same name. Rebecca. She would smile and wave to me when she saw me. It was a big deal to me at the time. She went hitchhiking with a friend and was horrifically murdered. This was the 70s.

[@lesare6509]

A man tried to kidnap me out of my mother’s car when I was 5 years old. Keep in mind, this was in 1952 when people did not think it was weird or dangerous to leave a child in a car. I was considered to be advanced for my age, so my mother knew I wasn’t going to wander outside the car. It was her perfect timing returning to the car that saved me. She was literally only gone for a few minutes.

I'm from Texas the i-45 information presented here is a hundred percent real. When you walk along certain areas of the highway surrounded by fields... the vastness, the ambience of traffic... literally no one would hear you scream.

[@bonnylouwho76]

I live in another HUGE rural western state, myself, with worldwide famous remote areas. Most of my state is in places where you could scream, be murdered, anything...and no one would ever know.

[@IanOvidBares]

@bonnylouwho76 I've lived in Texas pretty much all my life, but I've heard about the west in terms if rural areas. Lots of state parks, and just general desert/flat lands. Those abandoned mine shafts in Nevada freak me out haha

[@kenyattaclay7666]

Well to be fair, that describes basically all highways around the world. In Texas though I-10 is WAY more desolate than I-45 especially between San Antonio and El Passo. However being from Illinois the barn where Robert Ben Rhodes (who’s from Texas) left the body that caught him was just a few miles from where I went to undergrad and because of the same conditions her body wasn’t found for a couple of years.

[@IanOvidBares]

@kenyattaclay7666 the part where it's more desolate, is exactly what I said, that's my point. I grew up in San Antonio/i-10, my whole family is from southeast Texas. I'm not generalizing about the whole world Lol

[@kenyattaclay7666]

@@IanOvidBares and all I’m saying is I-45 isn’t special in that regard. I’ve live in 7 different states, including Texas, and another country. I’ve driven through probably 25 plus other states and countries. Having long stretches of highway where nobody can hear you scream is not unique. It’s not as dangerous as it was in 1997 simply because of the advancements in technology but just driving on a highway is dangerous because of those conditions no matter where you are.

I’d say Great Britain has it more right than the US considering these crimes are significantly lower. There’s a correlation in countries that have high incarceration rates & high crime rates, including serial killers. It’s not a coincidence that among first world countries that the US & Russia have the highest number of prisoners per 100k people & higher crime rates, including serial killers.

Sentences that are inconsistent frustrate me to no end. For example, how is a child molester in 1 state serve less time than a person caught with drugs in another?

This was in the 70s and our parents were so protective that when those people moved out the next day from being our neighbors and were arrested nobody told me why. Did they think they were protecting me? But being from a abusive home, I seldom was at home and I am just grateful now that I never was injured or killed.

She had registered her address and phone number and I had done the same with the prison parole board.

Or have someone on the outside dispatch with me. Just being in their energy field, ugh, I'd imagine it's very very dark. It's an empty, eerie, unnerving feeling if you've ever been around sociopaths, but these men are a whole new level of evil.

[@Shak340]

They don’t.. too busy counting their money after defending the unjusts

[@axessenter]

A defense attorney isn't just there to be like:"Dear Court, my client is innocent." though. A defense attorney makes sure the sentence that is passed down is adequate, fits the crime, and that, most importantly, the evidence presented is solid and not easily overturned. Every side in a courtroom has their own agenda. Without the defense challenging the prosecution, that could easily end on a successful appeal down the road, because there would be no burden of proof as there is with a defense clapping back. A good defense makes for a solid verdict that is not as easily overruled. Yes, sometimes everyone in the courtroom knows the perpetrator is guilty. But the defense's job doesn't end there.

Laura’s mother explaining Forgiveness, is spot on. Forgiveness is for our own heart n mind. Giving the creeps forgiveness takes their “ power”away, imo.

[@littlepoolefam3]

Mom is covering up for her MONSTER son, and that is quite evident by her own body language. She is actually disgusted with him but wants to protect him at the same time. Shameful.

Letting him live to get the deceased recovered is a no brainer. Family gets what they need, and the suspect gets everything he doesn’t need in jail.

[@1ireneaustin]

I guess I have never understood why finding the dead body is so important to the family. I do know that it is of the utmost importance to the family, but the body is not the person..... the spirit is the person, their body was just the vehicle they used to get around. I guess growing up in a funeral home might have skewed my judgment.

[@friedpiper4658]

@@1ireneaustin I’ve actually shared that question of the importance of the body myself. I usually tell myself I don’t know that particular struggle so I can’t pretend I’d know how I would feel. I completely understand you’re feelings

[@konye618]

It confirms that they are indeed dead for some people, then it's not just speculation

[@1ireneaustin]

@@konye618 thank you so much!!! I wish I had you as my personal emotion coach. See, I never thought about the certainty of their death. I am an introvert and so often I feel alien because I can't understand everyday things.

[@eveapple4928]

@@1ireneaustinit’s important for several reasons. Firstly, having the physical remains allows the bereaved to have some sort of sense of reclaimation of their loved ones. It’s like they have had their lost beloved returned to them in some sort of sense. I can imagine how very hard it would be to know that your loved ones body is lost out there somewhere with no one knowing where they are or having cared for those remains. You would likely feel the anguish of separation to a higher degree because you didn’t have their physical body safely back in the keeping of their family. Having the body also means you 100% heart and soul know that the person is dead in a very solid way. They can also then take care of those remains and lay them properly to rest, therefore feeling that an important duty of care for their lost loved one has been discharged. Following on from that, the bereaved then know where their loved one physically is, that they are ‘safe’ and they have a place to go where they can be physically close to their remains and so maintain a relationship with them beyond death. If this wasn’t the case, we would simply wheel people into incinerators the moment they died and have zero care for the remains of the deceased. Several more intelligent mammals such as cetaceans elephants and primates also show a close connection to physical deceased remains. I work in a job where I have had quite a lot of experience with dead bodies and the bereaved, and this stuff really really matters to the bereaved.

39:27 Wow. The best definition of forgiveness I have ever, ever heard.

[@rhondaalbrecht]

Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not the one that transgressed the forgiver. That's what the Lord's Prayer says. In order for Father to forgive us, we MUST forgive those that sin against us. It's to heal US! Not them.

Half these murders could be prevented by surveillance cameras The UK has them everywhere we can afford them here it's America

[@sigiloXXX]

But not in vast fields of corn...

[@RitaDoran-p4v]

@sigiloXXX Today's technology they could mount some cameras in remote areas like the ones hunters use for deer that's like when all those women on long Island sound were missing they knew a serial killer was in that area I think they could have cared enough to set it up just saying

[@differenttakethanmost]

Prevented? By cameras? Not likely. Easier solved perhaps but the only preventatives are 1) better parenting 2) SERIOUS and SWIFT punishment.

[@shelteredsparrow2736]

I am with you. She really was playing with fire. There is a book called LOVE AND RESPECT. It was written by a professional. The concept is the women need love and men respect. That is the airhose for each group. It talks how we step on it accidentally and how to avoid it. I believe it should be studied by everyone. It might avoid tragedies such as this.

I will never understand women going out running. You may as well have a Target on your back. My daughter was very athletic but I forbid her to go running. I paid for her gym membership and would drive her back and forth before she had her license. There are cameras there, staff, bicycle classes Zumba everything you could need for exercise. Please parents do not let your daughters go running! Do not let children walk to school alone! Every woman should have on her keychain mace and one of those noise alarms that you can pull. Additionally if you're looking for exercise, try taekwondo classes.
