You truly never know. I was out with three friends in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park. A guy who sold us a couple of dime bags, rode back up to us on his bike and pulled out a 12 to 15 inch blade and attempted to hold us up right there in the park. The cops were on horses only 150 feet away from us. We made a bit of a commotion the guy rode off. About 15 people walked past us during the event and nobody saw a thing. In fact, the cops were getting annoyed with us, thinking we made it up. Then, they actually frisked my friend and found a dime bag on him. Curious about what the cops did with my buddy? They made him eat it and laughed at him. It was one of the weirdest nights of my life.

The tears welling up while he stares dead ahead, no attempt to clear them or collect himself, just unbroken eye contact. It's unsettling, like he's trying too hard to come across as sincere by not looking away, but it feels unnatural.

We were physically attracted to each other right away. They were such a cute couple. They were both good looking people. I didn't hear one person say their personalities meshed. Even his mother in law said ,.I liked very much, she was so beautiful. They seem all the looks .My husband were both good looking but people would say they were so good for each other both so giving and work so well together. First before they say we were a cute couple they would say powerful family oriented couple.

[@kristiriley]

I feel absolutely terrible for that little sister & little brother of April. Those 2 kids depended on her for stability. She was the only thing left that they had, that was the closest thing to their mom. & he snatched that away from them. When they were living with them when they were 1st married, I feel like there is so much more to the story as to why they got sent away to live with relatives, & I want to know the reason behind it.

I can completely understand why the people that were interviewed would not want to divulge such information, but I would really love a "where are they now" type segment at the end of these 20+ year old 48 Hours episodes. I pray April's siblings are both living extremely Blessed and happy lives ❤

[@jujulionesselsa1416]

April was so very beautiful. And how very tragic that she was taken far too soon ❤. And what an incredible young Lady she raised her siblings after her Mum sadly passed away to Cancer. This is so heartbreaking and deeply unfair. 😢 This case rang a bell with me when I realised I had heard of it before, some years ago. It's difficult to imagine that Justin could have done this to April, but obviously all evidence points to him. My heart aches for her Siblings because they have been through enough heart ache. And then to lose their inspirational Sister April who was their rock through traumatic times is dreadful.
