2 жыл бұрын

Raven Abaroa was happily married and life was good. Until it wasn't, of course. When tragedy struck his wife, the investigation eventually led to this man, who claimed to be completely innocent. Years would go by, and his future wife, too, would realise he was not who she thought. Then a bit of digging found the smallest contradiction in his story.

Several years ago, I would lay on my couch for days, going through opioid withdrawal, watching That Chapter. I was addicted to the meds I was prescribed at 15 for two sports related knee operations. So in the middle of my agony I looked for a distraction; this channel gave me that. This channel provided me with, at the time, a full week worth of content to soak up. Here I am, 3 years sober now, and That Chapter is still a place of comfort for me. Cheers, Mike. Thanks for keeping me distracted in the best way.

There's something about the way Raven acts after that phone call "I need to win the lottery". It speaks to me like a man who's always looking for the quick and easy way out. Like this one thing would solve everything, maybe like he thought a murder would solve the previous problem he was having.

When I saw the video clip of him showing off a knife. I could see how selfish he is. And really how strange his thought process is. He said this is my new knife, I got it for Christmas, I bought it for myself, my dad would be so proud, because I collect them. WTF She equates Pride with possessions? He's a real mental defective.

Yes, that phone call. It makes me wonder what was he doing the 15 seconds prior to dialing 911. Was he giving himself that pep talk and then started the fake hyperventilate? That interview of him acting was crazy. I think the timestamp was 945 he said I want some coffee and he giggled. The director immediately says okay we are off and running, no sooner did the director say running that Ravens face got sad and he put the little tremble in his voice. It's amazing how fast he can go from laughing to crying?

​@@ritawashere5787my husband's from India and it's quite common for them (their culture) to equate pride with possessions. They congratulate each other on a new, top-of-the-line TV, car, house, etc...you name it. Keeping up with the Jones is a huge thing for them. It is here somewhat too. Maybe not as bad though. I think you already see him in a negative light and automatically interpret that scene negatively because of it. Not that I liked him. Personally, I'm so turned off when my husband's relatives brag. They brag to anyone because status and material possession is what brings them a sense of pride. Anyway, that's all I got.

Janet’s family warning her of Raven probably helped a lot in getting her out of that situation. Since she had already been told he could be violent, she would have been harder to manipulate once he started showing those signs. Mad respect to Janet’s family, honestly, they already had so much to deal with and they still took action to protect other women from him.

A telling moment is him saying that he wonders to himself “if I hadn’t met her she may be alive”. Besides basic butterfly effect reasons, that is bizarre to say if you had nothing to do with it, and if the reason is the butterfly effect, then if anything was different it would change, why specify her meeting you? That part seems like a slip up to me

There's a huge "what if" that was never mentioned in this case: "What if" he killed his wife BEFORE leaving with his friends? Whoever did the initial autopsy did a real shitty job. If the contacts were missed, what else was? During an autopsy, a complete description of the body, head to toe, inside and out should be recorded. My guess is, the person who conducted the initial autopsy was a coroner and not a pathologist. A coroner is an elected position whereas a pathologist is a W2 position and has vastly more postmortem training. Also, I wouldn't put a lot of weight concerning footwear because unknown footwear could simply habe been used for diversionary purposes. The fingerprint on the window could have been left from the day it was installed. There's no way to determine the age of a respective latent impression. I'd further guess the crime scene wasn't processed well as most cases are won or lost at the crime scene. Not having first hand knowledge of the scene or the investigation, the aforementioned is based solely upon my 23 years experience as a criminal investigator. For what it's worth, opinions are like assholes.

There is not a single scenario in a criminal case you're involved in where talking is a good idea and every lawyer on the planet will tell you that Obviously if you're a witness that's a different story, but yeah

If it’s subjective, then it’s not good evidence, and it should not be used as evidence of their guilt. Human behaviour and language is just way too complex to be a repeatable science that you can analyse reliably. I question the intelligence of anyone who says things like that, unless they make it very clear that it’s just a feeling that they’re voicing. Glad someone else has noticed this too lol.

Damn, I live in Durham but don't remember this one. I can tell you one thing though, I was part of a grand jury for a whole year at the beginning of covid here in Durham, and, with the exception of a few people, the whole thing was a joke. You send 18 people into a sealed courtroom once a month, most of whom know little to nothing about the law, then detectives and officers come in to lay out their cases to you. A good amount are definitely legit. But then you get some that try to sell you straight bullshit. But since no one even goes over basic law (probable cause, etc) with the jurors, we're mostly just left to ask the detectives if their case and/or arrest was legit. Which is completely useless. We had too many cases of people being arrested with us jurors (most with NO legal knowledge) deciding whether or not these people's lives should be ruined for something the cops had no business even searching them for. When I began, I was actually excited about it, but as with every aspect of Justice, it was disillusioning.

I mean... the lawyers would argue that and a judge would decide. You aren't there to be the lawyer...you are there to decide if it's guilty or not or I suppose in this case if there is sufficient evidence to go to trial. Cops don't always know every in and out of every law. Thats why you have district attorneys. See if a cop tells a da about an arrest...they would know that the search or whatever was no good and decline prosecution..if they for whatever reason don't the defense lawyers would argue and again the judge decides. I've served as a juror and if we had any question about any law being charged the judge explained it to us in depth. The cops are ARRESTING you... the district attorney DECIDES the charges.

@@electricaf365 what's BS? That I knew her family? Her family attended the Annandale VA ward of the LDS church, and that's where I met them. Her mom was really sweet and was very involved in church activities including the youth programs, so everyone knew Mrs. Christiansen. One of her sisters was named Jeanette (I believe that's the sister they show at the end in the courtroom, but a couple sisters looked so much alike so I can't be sure), and that's the one I knew best out of all of them - all of the kids' names in their family started with a J. When you attend an LDS church it's more than just going to church on Sundays. There are always activities, especially for their youth programs. There are dances a couple times per month and root beer float socials, etc. You're at the church 2 or 3 times a week, so the kids get to know each other really well. But I moved when I was 15 and only saw them a couple of times after that so lost touch with them. But my best friend from my childhood attended that church her whole life. So when I first heard about this case (it was on dateline or a similar program several years ago), I asked her if she was from the Christiansen family we knew and she verified that she was. Do you not think all of the people in the cases Mike covers had lives, and actual friends? Do you think they didn't grow up going to school and going to church just like everyone else did? Of course they did. So it would make sense that occasionally people who knew them are going to run across one of his videos. But sure, it's all BS. I just made it up for no reason at all. Lol

True crime is inherently exploitative and is disrespectful by its very nature. Respectful means to consider the feelings, wishes, and rights of others in a thoughtful manner. Mike cracking dark jokes about the crime in question isn't considerate to the victim, who were real people who lives were brutally cut short, and their friends and family (also real people). I'm pretty sure I know why some people try to rationalize to themselves why Mike and other true crime media are being respectful. It's due to the cognitive dissonance felt from deriving entertainment off of other peoples grief, pain, and suffering. Unless you're a sociopathic sadist, you know that that is morally wrong. Thus, discomfort is felt from the contradicting beliefs and/or thoughts. Others that try to be less disrespectful about it attempt to get consent from the victim's family, typically won't mention the perpetrator's real name to keep the focus on the victim, and tend to donate some of the money they're making to organizations that assist victims and their family. Mike does none of those and he makes roughly $20,000 to $30,000 a month off the real people lives that were brutally cut short, and their friends and family's grief while cracking jokes about it. The victim and family's boundaries are violated and they're essentially victimized all over again for our entertainment.

Anyone who has a pragmatic side would think about life insurance as being a good way of making sure that their family would be well taken care of, in case of an unexpected event happening, at some point or another. Furthermore of those that have life insurance I'm sure a very small percentage of them actually fall victim to foul play. As I expressed to Zaza a moment ago I too would like to have life insurance just in case something happened to me. Then again I'm the type of person that would likely abuse the life insurance. For example, say I found out one of my children were suffering from leukemia, I'd be perfectly willing to "fall asleep in the bathtub" just to make sure they could afford the treatments.

when i was a youngun, i drunkenly pushed my drunken girlfriend onto the floor, a bit too hard, and in front of half a dozen witnesses. her brothers learned of this, and paid me a visit the following day. one beat the shit out of me, and the second (scarier) brother informed me that next time it was going to be his turn. there never was a 'next time'. moral of the story is: brothers, take care of your sisters.

Raven is a real POS. The part that stands out to me is when he’s laughing right before a taped interview and just just like that, water works when camera rolled! And why does the 2nd wife never listen?! Vanessa heard all the rumors and never even stopped to wait and do some digging on her own. Nope, went right ahead into the marriage. I guess some folks need to experience things for themselves…sheesh!

@@wildcambium I’ve definitely been had but not to this extent, thank God! I was also younger too. As a grown woman, I’ve definitely learned my lesson and now know red flags and definitely take my time. I do not make the same decisions and choose the same type of men I once did. I also think that there are lots of women with limited experience in dating and may not know red flags or signs of an abuser. Unfortunately in these cases, experience is the best teacher, assuming you survive to make healthier decisions 😕. I also think emotional intelligence, good self esteem, good decision making, being self sufficient, being ok with being single and being willing to be patient and get to really know someone is key! I’ve known many women who ignore red flags, explain them away, rush into things (marrying someone or moving in with them only after several months for ex), etc. because they really want a relationship, marriage, kids, etc. A lot of times, we want what our friends have and rush our own timeline just to have those things. Nothing is wrong with wanting those things I might add, but they are huuuge decisions and not to be taken lightly. We have to choose head over heart many times because it’s our emotions and desperation that oftentimes get us in trouble as women. We have to listen to our intuition, our inner goddesses, and be wise.
