After my 22 years of marriage, I devoted my life to raising my children, 10 and 13 then. I didn't think I could trust anyone with my children's safety and emotional well-being. I raised them all by myself. Now they are grown, well rounded and highly educated young professionals. Did I miss the chance to find a good man? Maybe. But I would do it exactly the same way. In my culture, you don't bring a wolf into your house if you have lambs inside. I don't trust anyone with my children's safety and well-being. I believe in dedication and devotion, not luck.

I do wish we were able to have funding set aside for woman that needed to leave so that we could be able to relocate for at least 4mths without their name and that give them time to get a job without using their name etc until they can get on their feet.. It can be done because this is exactly what we do for those in witness protection... Just something like that to save lives...

[@miriamsamaniego3335]

He’s probably out already. He was convicted in 2008, so that’s almost 14 years. He could have gotten paroled. What a travesty. Can you imagine finding out that the man you married gave you an engagement ring off of the body of his former fiancé whose eyes he was staring into while he was strangling her? Strangling someone isn’t easy. It takes upwards of 4-5 minutes of constant hard pressure. If he stopped at all during that, he’d have to begin again. His eternity will consist of similar torture if he doesn’t get honest and confess and repent. But, that’s for God to know and decide. To me, he’s a disgusting piece of filth.

[@Anon38251]

I lived with in the mother in law unit of the house when this happened with my ex. We were renting from her parents, and they were renting from my in laws. I helped them setup her son's bed. She was so sweet, a genuine bright person. He scared me. We stopped to chat on a Wednesday afternoon while I was headed downstairs. After a few minutes he asked if I'd heard or seen anything "strange" the Friday before. When I stated that we hadn't, he casually says "oh, Ellaina went missing Friday, I'm thinking of calling the police." I kinda thought it was weird he'd wait five days, but kinda shrugged off the weird voice in the back of my head, assured him that she would turn up, and started down the stairs. He then called me back as a quick, friendly question asked "how do you turn off the light by the front door?" When I informed him the switch was downstairs in our apartment, he laughed uneasily and said "ohhhh, I was going crazy trying to figure out how to turn it off Friday night!" Friday... he wanted the lights facing the street off, suddenly, the night she disappeared. He killed her, and I knew it. The detectives knew it. They just needed to prove it. After being questioned when her body was found, he was suddenly pounding on my door, wild eyed and breathless, demanding to know "what did you tell the cops?!" I told him I knew nothing to tell and he visibly relaxed, chuckled and said "I just wanted to see if there was anything you could add to help." Even at the trial, when he was being led away in cuffs by two deputies as I waited for the elevator, I still could feel the hate after testifying. Seeing that little boy, her friends, her family laying flowers and candles a few days later crushed me. It still haunts me.

"Here Baby, My dead ex-girlfriend wanted you to have her ring" Brilliant move Ree Turd.

[@lowrider419fly]

A very tragic story. What awesome ladies and dog!

[@Sheerkat7]

"He can't live without her." Right. So he kills her, steals her ring and gives it to another woman. What were the charges he was convicted on? Manslaughter?

[@anitakoch3895]

16 years only its outrageous!

[@miri9885]

16 years, he probably did 8 years max with good behavior, and is most likely now a free man.

[@SerialSpinner-ss]

No, it looks like he's serving the full sentence

[@ponygirlusa]

Yeah, those guys who hound you to death with repeated phone calls and stalking, badgering you about your whereabouts and then attempting to convince you their jealousy means they love you, are CHEATING ON YOU. They assume you are doing what they are doing.

[@grettageragi9598]

all that work and the murder of a beautiful woman and he only gets 16 years?

[@rec.thecritic]

16 years wow, he should have gotten more, i love this show, im always waiting for new shows. The detectives were amazing

[@JennyTolios]

16yrs for cold blooded murder? How much will this monster get the next time he kills someone...and let's not kid ourselves that he's not going to do this again! Shameful sentence...

[@phugoid]

Tomorrow is 2022, and this bloke will be free in 2023. What a laugh of a sentence!
