I'm 9
The fact that they found the phone in the water is incredible
But GOD!
Unrelated, the water is so beautiful and clear! I live on the Mississippi River. STARK CONTRAST IN DIFFERENCE.
Right ! Investigation was good but prosecution ruined it all 😤 what a shame!!
I love how the detectives really never give up
And it was all for nothing 💔
Remember everyone, my twin sisters story is far from over! We are still having a civil trial so that all the facts come out. And if our theory is correct, there is WAY more to this case! Our lawyer doesn't want us saying much more but we will keep people updated as more comes out. One thing I can say, the POS is refusing to participate in the civil trial and hiding facts. Judge fined him $5,000 so far.
And please join me in remembering Kasey....our birthday is five days away (May 25th), we were Gemini.
I just watched this episode. Belated happy birthday! I believe you'll win your case and hope that monster rots and dies in prison as he deserves!! God bless you and your mother and family. Keep your sister's memory alive!
So sorry for your loss. I have experienced a very traumatic loss on my birthday and since then I have a very hard time when people say happy birthday and I have begged people not to wish me a happy birthday and I have a saying that just because the phrase is happy birthday, it doesn't mean everyone's birthday is a happy one😢 💔 I try to be more cautious of feelings and although I'm not sure if that's the case with you so I send my condolences in place. I am just seeing your comments and this episode of 48hrs but I have seen your sisters case elsewhere and I have never been able to shake the feeling and always felt like the live-in girlfriend knew and was involved. I truly wish you and your family the best possible healing and I hope to see more justice and the right outcome from the civil trial.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm in WA state too, about two hours north of you. I hope you're able to get justice.
❤ 🙏
Ma`am I do not know anything concerning your case, but I see the replies you have here and I imagine it is about as bad as it can be. I know that nothing will bring your sis back, but maybe the piece of filth guilty of her death will never be free to harm anyone again. I have a hard time with the term "justice" because it is just a word. The hole in you does not close, so justice is nothing more than a word. I think Morgan Freeman said it all in "The Shawshank Redemption". It is a word for you young hotshots to put in your files so you can do your jobs, but rehabilitated is just your fancy little word in your fancy little world. He did not say "justice" but I think you know what I am saying. Hey, I am a Gemini too! So we have that! All the best to you, and I do not say the "I`m sorry for your loss" crap. Those are just words too. And they fall short of any truth.
Note to self, never trust someone that wants to be called The Hat Man😅

@Auntie Fan420, a vasectomy would help prove that it wasn't his child, then
@@auntiefan4202 So, are you slow.
Her mom broke my heart, that's a lady who's drowning in grief and can barely breathe but keeps trying to smile through it.
Same here. She made me feel her pain. Bless her 😢
I'm a mom of six, and three of my kids are around Kassandra's age. They also like a lot of the same things, and are quirky and fun. I'm literally crying after seeing her mom try to get her words out. Her brother's beautiful tribute to her had me in tears as well.
I lost my older sister unexpectedly from complications from surgery. It is something that makes recovering from her death impossible. My husband and I have lost many family members, but mostly to natural causes. When someone dies due to the fault of another, it's very hard. In this case, the act is so deliberate, and the justice isn't there. They should have given him life without parole. I don't think anyone on a jury, listening to this evidence, would ever think he was innocent.
She was a sweet daughter got her momma things I'm sad already 1 min in
I whole heartedly agree
She’s so sweet, my heart also breaks for her
I just want to slap that stupid smirk off his disgusting face at court😡 Such an evil monster.
No mother should have to go experience this. My deepest condolences to the family🙏🏾🥺
The look in his eyes while posing in his orange suit 😱
And his face in the courtroom 😱
That creature is in rage , insane rage.
He should never ever walk free under the sun again.
With his chin up because hes so proud of himself
@@georgemonde8237 That's what I thought, he didn't look enraged to me, he looked pleased with himself. I guess he has reason, he got a slap on the wrist for murdering a pregnant woman.
What did she see in those eyes???
(shivers)
@@AnnaMorris411 Evil is what she saw in his eyes! Oh it makes me shiver. Poor Kassandra. 😢 To even think about how he premeditated her demise knowing that she was pregnant. He didn't have to get rid of what he saw as a problem for his life. I feel sure that Kassandra would have been just fine without his help, and a great mother to her baby.😢
I'd like 10 free shots to his face. The smirky, smug, underbite chin in the air (I have an underbite, so I can tease his) makes him the most disgusting human being I've seen in a long time. It's sad that the plea bargain raises his ego, he isn't smart or clever. Pretty stupid, so why this wasn't a strong case blows my mind. If I was a jury member, that would be enough for me.
This must be a joke. He murdered a pregnant mother and he got only 26 years.The justice system is completely broken.
It’s so bizarre. Ppl get longer sentences for armed robbery sometimes.
Washington has a judicial system crisis at the moment. Blame a lot of it on the governor, for demanding a reduction in spending at the corrections level. As a result, they're reducing the amount of time prisoners get as well as the giving percentages off time served, then factor in parole. They created this mess.
@Mjdemon Or drugs. It's ridiculous!
Liberalism. It’s a Leftist state. In Florida, he’d be on death row.

@@iammarcnixon😮
That mom's grief was palpable.
she could barely talk
Of course she’s grief stricken.
This one REALLY hits different. The way he threw her away like trash. Just tossed her and his unborn child down a ravine, and then got 26 years??? WTF is wrong with the legal system?? That poor girl and her family. Rest in Peace Kassandra ❤
It’s a blue state. They have no justice system there.
Sick sick people. I don't trust ANYONE. It's crazy to live like this

"Friendship" with an ex is a disaster. Grow up, move on and behave like an adult.
He smiled as he left the courtroom.
The mom absolutely gutted me. The pain she feels is way beyond deep. I never understand how investigative journalists can keep their cool in those situations. I would be a bloody mess.
Riiightt! I wld too, I can feel her (her mother) pain through my phone... idk how they cld keep their composer.. ughh 😢
We have no clue who is watching you or I in this life. Worthiness is key to salvation, not broken bear claws or dreams of salvation in mood beams. Support your family in life, not suffering like these people. She didn't have salvation. Her choices infirmed herself and her former lovers offering for her and his family. Shouldn't be so worthless in your comments on here. Such is life. Move forward, understand she is here on your path and not on yours in another realm. Worship her and death takes over your family, life suffers forever. Such is life and nobody loves me is not going to be said of me.
Gutted you ?
@@aaronchapdelaine5478 I believe they meant it metaphorically; they emotionally felt as if they'd been physically wounded.
I've said this same thing. I could never interview someone in this situation. I'm tearing up just watching from my phone...I'd be balling if I were in that room with the mother
I love that her brother opened the little shop in her memory. Imagine how much fun she would've had shopping for all those baby things. So sad.

Seeing her twin brother fulfilling the dream that him and his sister had by opening up that store and having a beautiful mural of her there, I just started bawling.
It's said that losing your twin is losing part of yourself. Losing Kassanndra affected so many people.

@@hstteacher ?
The prosecutors in Kassandra's case failed her family.They had enough evidence to put him away. They just didn't want to go to trial. shame on them!
Maybe they realized that in the liberal, often bleeding heart Seattle/Puget Sound area, they could not guarantee this killer being found guilty, and/or getting any sort of prison time. Maybe they figured a plea deal that guaranteed some prison time was the better option.
This is some of the strongest circumstantial evidence I’ve ever seen, they should have let it go to trial. On the other hand, I know a murderer who was let go on a technicality, and was free for decades after. But he was eventually caught for his other murders. That’s not the same as worrying about it being circumstantial though.
they sure did have enough evidence. loser prosecutors!
Watching this, the evidence was extremely powerful. I've been reading the comments, and there's not a single one so far where someone thinks maybe he didn't do it. People are tech savvy enough to realize that circumstantial or not, there's just so much data that it's obvious that he did it. And there's actual camera footage, not just cell phone data! It's infuriating. He should be behind bars until he dies.
They should be fired
Not sure why the police didn’t understand why he turned off his phone but kept hers on. He wanted the towers to ping her phone as he drove to the train station, impersonating her. He sat there at the bench for a few min to pretend like “she” was waiting for the train. It’s the whole reason why he parked his car in the lot near the station, so he could drive home once he’s done impersonating her movements.
Commenters would make better detectives.
I kind of thought the same, but if his theory was to throw them off by making them think she jumped on a train, why then drive her phone out to the beach & toss it, still on? I then thought, maybe he wanted to make it look like she jumped over the cliff, but she'd have driven her car there, not the train station. It's possible he's just plain stupid. A stupid narcissistic psychopath.
I thought the same thing. He wanted it to look like her traveling. He just didn’t account for the cameras.
Exactly my thought. Not the first time a murderer „impersonated“ their victim by driving their phone around either.
I agree, if he had wanted to pretend he was at home the whole time, he could have left his phone on and in his house...
My cousin got 25 years for being a look out in a robbery when he was 16. No one was hurt and all the money was recovered. He did 20 years & 90 days. And had a stroke holding his daughter. A year after he came home. This is insane. This dude killed the mother of his child.
That's so sad. He didn't deserve that
And he killed his own child!
Sad😢.
Yeah, my brother in law stole a purse and a car from someone's house when he was like 19, non violent first offense and got 25 years. His brother, my boyfriend of 18 years was murdered in 2019 and the guy got a plea deal for 13 years and already just went up for parole a few weeks ago. The murderer's dad who bought him the illegal gun he used got 6 months.
I’m so sorry
Our so-called "justice system " is so far beyond broken it's an abomination.
It’s the judge whoever was in charge of sentencing probably was some male with homicidal tendencies
In blue states, yes. Washington state is one of the most lenient on criminals. They even passed a law to make it harder for police to do their jobs.
It's a CRIME itself!!!!🙄
Them finding her phone was so incredible, I had to watch that part a few times.
The only way he should be able to leave prison is by a toe tag exit. He robbed Kassanndra, her unborn baby, mother, twin brother & her loved ones bc he was selfish & down right evil! What a horrible human. That detective & his team did such a thorough job. Too bad every case doesn't have detective's with the persistence this one had!
Prayers for peace & strength for Kassanndra's family.🕊
She created this situation for herself unfortunately.
I disagree with your statement. It takes two to tango. She did have a hand in creating a child with a monster, which she would have no idea how it would turn out, but he actually created THIS situation. I'm appalled that you'd blame the victim here.
@@katinthehat_81 you said it yourself, it takes two.... if she didn't involve herself with this guy she would be alive. That was her choice to involve herself with a married man and to get pregnant and stay pregnant and try to involve the married man.
@@auntiefan4202 and hindsight is always 20/20 you'd think if she knew what would happen, she would have involved herself with him?
@@auntiefan4202 NOT "married." Boyfriend/Girlfriend living together.
Cassandra’s mom seems like such a lovely lady. I imagine she would have been amazing grandmother for her little baby she didn’t get to hold. 😢😢😢
Wtf? They had a slam dunk case! The DA’s office literally failed this victim, her unborn baby, and her family and friends! Why should that monster get to parole and live his life! Unreal, and half assed justice!
But I do give mad respect to the I investigation team and divers. You guys did a great job!
I thought the unborn fetus would seal the deal most states would've considered the manner of death to be a double homicide but I guess her pregnancy had to be full term by killing her he took away her rites to choose considering the motive this guy is a Monster he knew the child would be his and the look on his face in that courtroom told me everything I needed to know about him
If he was black he probably would have got 150 years.

@@billwilson5341 how long have you lived in this country or do you live in the US ?
I got shivers when the mom’s voice goes into a faint and say’s: “I was hoping that she might be alive somewhere.” 💔💔💔
That's almost always going to be any person's first reaction...
Her first question was, "is she okay?", when they found the body.
When my family came to my house and woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me my Dad was in an accident, that was my first question... "Well, is he okay?"
But of course he wasn't.
Knowing that, when I watch interrogations of suspects after crimes, I can almost always tell you which ones are guilty - just by their initial reaction.
Any variation of, "Wait, WHAT? No! No that can't be true! What do you mean? What are you even talking about? That doesn't make sense! Well, are they okay? They must be okay!", is an immediate giveaway.
***Well that and going to sleep and resting calmly when questions are asked...
Innocent people will get downright ENRAGED when they realize they're a suspect.
DABDA - Denial, ANGER, Bargaining (usually with "God"), Depression, Acceptance - the absolute stages of grief. ***
I'm surprised they even offered a plea deal with all the evidence. My heart breaks for her family and friends, and for her unborn child.
Soros DA. Trials cost A lot of money and time.
Unfortunately it was all circumstantial evidence. They were too cautious, they should have gone trial with it.
@@sharimeline3077 I....what? I'm not sure there are too many cases with clearer evidence, though. Caught on camera in all the right places, caught with trash bags and surgical gloves, drove around with her phone, blood found in his basement, the victim at his house the morning she went missing. That's not exactly loose evidence. If people are relying purely on a literal smoking gun to convict, then they're asking for too much.
@@Solonneysa if I was on the jury, there would be enough evidence for me. So much circumstantial evidence! The prosecutors really didn’t have to do the plea deal. So sad.
What more evidence would be needed?! They even had the bodies.
26 years for brutally murdering a mother and her baby? That's a disgrace and the main reason I hate "plea deals", They should never be an option for crimes like this. Give him life and when he dies, cremate him and throw the ashes in the trash. He planned everything and destroyed a family, and for what, because he didn't want to be a dad? Absolutely Heartbreaking.
Both him and his robot girlfriend. She gave me the creeps! She definitely knew what he was doing.
If he was black he would've gotten life with no parole.

Exactly. You have all the evidence you need to get a guilty verdict. I mean, he pleased guilty BECAUSE OF all the evidence and he knew he was caught
Because it is WA state. They are lenient on crime. They passed laws to make it harder for police to do their jobs.
@@beaminup What's wrong with that state? Why are they so insane?
@@automnejoy5308 I do not know. perhaps it is something in the water? The crazy libs have albeit permanently rested control from Republicans with their illegitimate mail-in voting system. The corruption runs deep in WA.
I understand not wanting to be a father but you have to be a real sick individual to resort to murdering the mother of your child to get out of that situation! Also, allowing him a plea deal is a gross miscarriage of Justice. Her family deserves more than that!
Given the evidence they had on him they should have trusted in a jury's abilit to come to the conclusion that he did commit this crime.
And she was willing to let him walk away without asking for support, making his actions even harder to comprehend.
The sad part is how common this is as a motive.
I'm confused on this one. He could have took her and "accidently" trip her on some stairs like the old days or got into a car accident, etc etc......Seems to be more to the story.
I was on a jury with that exact situation.
What a profound example of prosecutorial incompetence and laziness. My heart goes out to Kassandras mother and brother. I also wonder how the prosecution can sleep at night.
They couldn’t make their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors love to see criminals get justice. They only let criminals plea out if they can’t secure a guilty verdict. It’s 26 years or zero for an acquittal bc not enough information/evidence could be obtained. Which is it? Who ever thinks that a judgment/sentencing fits the crime? Yeah, no huh?
I was surprised in Washington state he would do more than a few years, they seem to have no respect for law and order.
Liberal state

Not every state has a messed up justice system. Do not smear the entire US justice system with what WA does. Blue states are all light on crime and you can tell by the way the criminals behave. Our business was broken in 3 times in 3 years. One of the dentists at the business condo association had video footage of criminals stealing from them with the alarm going off. The guy says to the gal, "Don't worry, we have 10 minutes till the cops get here."
When the criminals speak like this you know the state/city is doing something wrong.
The system is broken. He should served 2 consecutive life sentences for Kassandra and the babu
Absolutely.
Plea deal?!?!? 26 years?!?!? I’ve seen people do a lot more time for a lot less crime, a lot less evidence, and a lot more remorse. This would have definitely gone to trial if it happened to an “affluent” family. Great job from the detectives, laziness IMO of the DA. This guy should have gotten much more time. 😢I feel for Kassandra’s family.
I agree 😢
So long as he has to do a minimum of 26 years would this deem as reasonable. If so in 26 years he will have missed out on having a real life

It is so well done. I do hope he's not so consumed by grief and guilt (over the kind of fight we all have with family) that he can't separate himself from it to a healthy degree. He is dealing with such a horrible loss, yet he needs to focus on his own life too. Sending my best to this lovely family.

That's heartbreaking
Where is this shop located? It would be wonderful to pay tribute to her and buy something, even if they have an online site.
Only 26 years, wow. I really think the circumstantial evidence was more than enough! They should’ve gone to trial
Open and shut to me.
I mean how was it even circumstantial,that evidence was BETTER than an eye witness? Cameras, GPS, messages, phonecalls, WTF
@@karolineleoscircumstantial evidence describes evidence that isn't direct and that requires a jury to draw a conclusion. Most evidence even video and DNA evidence is circumstantial. I hate that Television and defense attorneys have managed to belittle circumstantial evidence as lesser than direct evidence, when the most common direct evidence is eyewitness testimony. And we know how unreliable that is.
No excuse for the DA not to go forward. Pure laziness. Those officers did a fantastic job.

The sweet things her mom said about her and the way her brother and friends honored her memory when they spoke of Kassanndra... that got me. 🥺💔
37:47 Ugh! Looking at this dude’s smug face gave me sooo much rage, he did not look like he was remorseful at all. This is a gross injustice towards Kassandra’s family.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Absolute waste of human flesh! It's very obvious he sees this as some minor inconvenience.
I felt the same...I wanted to wipe that ugly smirk off his face. I hope he gets his comeuppance in jail.
Victims boyfriend was already on the dark side. She was headed there. Her shopping addiction was not only vacuous but selfish.
No one in this case is sympathetic except her Mother and her dark haired friend.
It was so insulting. He’s pleased as punch that he killed her and he doesn’t care who knows.
I can't even find a strong enough word to describe how disgusting this ugly monster is! I know I shouldn't think like this, but I do hope they have some traditional punishment among the inmates for those who have killed a pregnant woman.
I am so sorry for everyone who loved and lost Kassandra. How tragic.
I am so sorry for her Mom...so sorry.

Same here! This was truly a heartbreaker I am so sorry to her mother also I pray God's angels comfort her..
The worst phone call a parent or familymember could ever get 😢. I'm so sorry for her and her family. Unbelievable how people can be such monsters
You are not even kidding. I had to get such a phone call for my brother and I remember telling the police offer that they were lying, then throwing my phone across the room. This was back in '07, so the battery popped out. My then boyfriend went and got it and put it back together as I sat on the floor wailing. He called the detective back and got the details needed. That day haunts me, the screaming and wailing coming from my own throat haunt me - the memory of the ripping pain as a hole got punched out of my chest and a piece of me died. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
@@gothempress 😢💔
Can you imagine? Wanting to be a father LESS than wanting to be a murderer?
Wow.
RIP
And what's so sad is that Kassanndra would totally have let him dip out. She just wanted to tell him what was going on because he had a right to know. So, so sad.
It’s not about not wanting to be a father, it’s all about the child support.
@@ogadlogadl490 Those dads and moms that went to get milk and never came back had the right idea.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 where did you get that info? Her friend in the episode said that Kassanndra thought he was becoming accepting of the situation and went to his house optimistic about it. How exactly is a person optimistic that someone will be a deadbeat dad who never speaks to them again? I don't believe that's an "optimistic" outcome, so someone is lying. Why would her friend lie about her?
Happens! And women still think it’s ok to get pregnant by murderers
My heart goes to her Mom. Not many episodes make me teary eyed, but the ending of this episode did. RIP beautiful Kassandra.

The absolute injustice of 26 years as well. Shattering.
If you don’t want to be a father, either keep your pants on or use birth control. There is no reason for an “accident”. 🤦🏽♀️. Getting 26 years for murdering two people is horrible. How sad!
@SAAL you’re [meaning ‘you are] right. Use condoms men + female w/ birth control pills . Agree w/ you. .
I agree wholeheartedly.
Misoprostol....
They should sterilize him before they release him from prison if this is what he does to women he gets pregnant. Obviously he can’t handle having a sexual organ.
@@alteredcatscyprus 100% agree
After all that investigative work they weren't brave enough to take it to court? Unbelievable.
Kassanndra's mother is a lovely woman. Despite her daughter's horrible death I wish her all the best.
WHY didn't the prosecutors listen to the family and not accept a plea deal?! That's so freakin wrong! Sometimes prosecutors really just don't care about victims.
Maybe they thought the perp's gf would cause some reasonable doubt, assuming a defense attorney would throw her under the bus to defend their client? She was at the residence during the crime based on statements about her doing her own thing in the residence. Otherwise idk.. I agree with other commenters that stated he should've gotten a longer sentence due to not only the death of Kassandra but also an unborn child.
@@LittleLouieLagazza Imo- her reservations (long pause) to respond to questions about him was a bit eyebrow raising. And I concur- if /when she became aware of his infidelity etc I'd imagine she was not too sad about him being locked up.
@@elizabethan22 Well, the gf was not only sleeping with the POS, she was sleeping with the male roommate. And she didn't "live in a separate part of the house." The male roommate did. Also, the gf was cheating on her husband w/the POS all through her marriage. Trust me, neither of them were/are concerned about "fidelity."
@@MSmith-b33tingU POI
Initially everybody hated the fact that there's Cameras everywhere,i gotta say, im glad for these situations.
I still hate it….but I’m glad it helps
Crimes
I really don't understand why they thought they didn't have enough to go to trial and win with. This case had more circumstantial evidence than a lot of the cases I've seen in a while. Take the Murdaugh Trial for example. On top of that, they give him only 26yrs.....Woww, and even less with parole. This was NOT JUSTICE. My heart goes out to her family. RIP Kassanndra 🙏🙏🙏
Right, it's circumstantial but taken altogether there's not a reasonable alternative explanation for it all. There's absolutely no reasonable doubt. So disappointing and heartbreaking for the family
I kno,and the blood in his house!
With the lack of any form of evidence that could put him anywhere near her body they were concerned he could have gotten off.
You never know what a jury will do.
It doesn't appear that they found enough blood in the basement to prove Kassanndra died there. If the basement would have lit up with blood splatter, that most likely would have been shown in the video.
Small amounts of blood loss wouldn't be conclusive. And some juror could decide there wasn't enough proof to convict him.
Liberalism
That poor woman. The worst pain is losing your child. It’s so unfair 😢
This one hit different…sorry to Kassandra’s family. I’m disgusted by the prosecutors and the injustice in this case 😤
You just want to jump through the screen and slap that smirk right off his face!!!
Finally…..Kassanndra’s story, I’ve been waiting for this. Thanks 48 hours! ❤
R.I.P. Kassanndra 🕊️
I‘m super impressed about the detective work.
I'm always amazed at how easily people can be tracked and traced without even knowing it. Future murderers beware!
You must want them to get away with it?
Great job on the detectives. Even being able to find a phone in the water. But man, that plea deal was just… yeah, I’m with everyone.
Sad. If he didn't want children, why didn't he take precautions? RIP Kassandra and baby.
Raised 3 girls. Hated when friends would say, So glad I have boys. They can't get pregnant.
I'd reply, Takes two to tango and I'll drop a baby on your doorstep 3x a week...at least.
@@juliecrane9647yea so your baby can be abused or worse
@@bigmona2741 You missed the part my girls are raised. They were on birth control as soon as they were having sex so I never had to drop a baby anywhere. My grandkids were born after they married. Your reply has no real facts to back it up. A mother is as capable of abusing a kid as much as a dad can. My point is that parents should teach their sons about contraception same as the parents of a girl.
@@juliecrane9647 Parents should teach their sons about contraception? Is this a joke? Boys have one form on contraception and thats it. And even that is very susceptible to breaking. Whether a girl gets pregnant is almost entirely in her control. Not only does she have a plethora of birth control options, she can even avoid certain days to lower the risk even further.
All a girl has to do is tell a boy who trusts her "Don't worry, I'm on birth control" when in reality she isn't, and that's enough to put him in a situation he doesn't want to be in. Happens all the time. And in this case it is clear as day the victim wanted to be a mother, so the possibility that she fell pregnant on purpose is very possible.
Well if he didnt want to be a father ,could also said to her ,she has loving twin Brother,Mum ,friends ,i am sure she could be wonderful single mum with support
My goodness, what in the world did that girl see in that sicko? Terribly sad.
Suss behavior #1 - He's wearing a fedora.
⚖️⛓️
These detectives are so smart .a model for all law enforcement .Thank you for your hard work on this case.
And yet, how many cases are unsolved.
This is heartbreaking.😢 I cannot imagine the pain. God bless and give strength to her family and friends.
Amen 🙏
I'm crying so much. Because I lost my mum two years ago and it hurts me so much every single day. And she died of natural causes, so I can't even begin to understand how it would feel to have someone stolen from you.
I'm her twin brother. I can tell you for me, there is no "moving forward" or "feeling better". To this day, there is not at least one time during the day I don't catch myself thinking about Kasey and then I get sad/depressed for a bit. I've come to realize that it's pain I must live with
@@Regaltwo2 ❤❤❤ *big hugs*
@@Regaltwo2so sorry❤️
😂 I love that he wore a mask and gloves thinking he would outsmart law enforcement. Unreal how people just literally throw people out like garbage and keep moving. What a horror.
He just made himself stick out more lol
26 years is OUTRAGEOUS, this monster should never be released!
WA is a very liberal state, and this lack of justice happens often. 😢
Honestly it's not enough time but if he actually does the full sentence it's more than many other killers serve.
@@debijacobson8822 Your political rhetoric is unhelpful, at best.
What an absolute tragedy for a mother who lost a daughter who was her best friend and a brother who lost a TWIN sister. The pain has got to be so unimaginable.
God bless her sweet mother. She raised such a gorgeous sweet woman. And I know she would have been such an amazing grandmother too.
a thought for the baby too maybe? killed by his own father?
I’ve watched a lot of horrible crime cases and it usually just makes me angry. This case had me in tears. I just hate hearing of pregnant women murdered by their selfish partner. Two lives are gone because THIS man’s life was most “precious” and he only gets 26 years.
Excellent detective work!! It's too bad all he got was 26yrs because the DA dropped the ball. He should've gotten way more, and she deserved better.
What a sweet twin brother. ❤
Of course he wore a fedora. 😬
Prison for life😢
RIP Kassanndra! Peace be with family and friends!
Amen 🙏❤God bless all
Interviewing that detective must be like pulling teeth. All 2 or 3 word answers until she leads him lol.
,,We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing". Rip Kassandra
Amen 🙏❤LOVE and light
One of my favorite quotes 😊
😢💔
The prosecuters should feel ashamed, not wanting this monster to pay the maximum punishment for such a heinous crime. They had way more than enough to convict this monster. Video of him leaving her car, his car where her body was disposed, blood in his basement, trash bage purchase, proof via phone records of her being at his house that morning, before he dumped her car. Come on! This is disgusting! Kassanndra and her family were cheated! He is a cold blooded killer who not only killed Kassanndra, but an unborn child.
If you don’t want to be a dad then there are ways to prevent that. He knowingly murdered two people
1 minute in and you can tell mom and daughter had an amazing relationship 😊
So kind of you to say. Unlike many people who have posted hate speech about a terrific mom/daughter relationship. I know her mom still cries for Kassanndra at least once each day. 💔
This is a very sweet sentiment that I hope the mom sees, because there's so much hate speech toward her and her daughter on here.
She was such a beautiful young lady with a lot talent and heart. That psychopath shouldn't have received only 26 years. My prayers go to her mom, her friends and family. May she rest in peace.
I don’t know about the heart part. She knew he had a gf and still sleep with him so her moral is not that high.
@@hp4415 You're no one to talk. Shame on you.
@@Terri-Sue I have nothing to feel shame, i speak fact. I never said she deserve to be killed. The guy is a monster but she is no Angel like some people make her out to be.
@@hp4415 If anyone recognizes this person, beware. They speak exactly like the killer. Getting this person out of your life might save your life.
@@MSmith-b33tingU did you forget to take your medicine? Or you are 1 of the homerecker so sh it hit Home hard when I called out the behavior and you feel like a personal attack?
I knew Kass! I will never forget the conversation I had with her mom, Marie. All she ever wanted was to be a mother. Rest in paradise, my beautiful friend. I know God has you and your baby in his presence!
Colin was 50% responsible for Kassanndra becoming pregnant. He took her life for something that was partially HIS fault. Disgusting.
Fault?
It wasn’t a fault. It was 50% his responsibility. It was also probably his biggest accomplishment over his worthless life. I don’t know what he thought was going to be ruined when he became a father.
@@leftalone9881 you cant judge somones worth ..gross
@@leftalone9881 breeding is not an accomplishment
@@supme7558 It is if you're a stallion on a stud farm. Perspective matters.
Excellent detective work.
Her poor mother, the hurt and pain she’s going through and she could barely get her words out! Then this monster gets a plea deal. What’s wrong with the justice system? Prayers to her mama, twin brother, and all her loved her and to Kassandra and her child. Marie will never know her grandchild. Horrific case.
😢💔
this is just unreal. the level of psychosis and depravity is just hard to understand. there is no justice in any of this. so sorry for the loss to all affected. RIP. what a society we humans have cultivated. breaks my heart.
Just crazy how this all went down and great job to the detectives and all who gathered all the evidence in this one. So sad
I am so tired of prosecutors taking the easy way out, it happens all the time. They just want to keep their record of convictions, and less work. Especially when the family is against it. Shameful
Her poor mother and brother. My heart just aches for them. I hope they both can heal as much as they possibly can
It's too much thinking of their loss, they should be playing with a baby right now!
26 years…. Our justice system is broken. There was no justice at all.
R.I.P. Kassandra 🙏🏽🦋
Really? At all??? Did they let murderer go?
@@azazello1784 Really. At all. 26 years isn't even 1 year for every year of Kassanndra's life, and nothing for her baby. (As an aggravator, knowingly killing a pregnant woman adds 10 years.) I bet the family would have preferred that they turned the murderer loose. "There is no such thing as justice. All the best that we can hope for is revenge." Emilie Autumn
@@MSmith-b33tingU man I love that quote, new tat I think
Wow, I’ve heard of cases with far less evidence that got a full conviction without a plea deal.
They really had him pinned in every way possible and They really just gave this scumbag a deal. Deals should only be offered if they might have a shadow of a doubt. This was ZERO DOUBT
This is so heartbreaking. A senseless tragedy. I hope her family finds peace.
This is just sad …. If you don’t want to be a dad why not use protection and in any event that fails why not just tell her that ( and if she wants to go ahead and have a child that’s fine )
If you were not happy with your girlfriend why not just break up with her and be with Cassandra
So many questions
Just sad
MARRIED MAN POSSIBLY
He was also living with his girlfriend while still carrying on with Kassandra. What a piece of work.
He did not know it was his baby and he was clear he did not want children. She was trying to entrap him and ruin his life and it might not even been his baby. Sad, stupud people.
@@auntiefan4202 Victim blaming ...really ?
Males not wanting kids can prevent it as sure as a female can.
Wtf....some male in your family got "trapped" ?
Odds it fails are so so low. Or just pull out ffs. And yes that works, trust me
Gotta say kudos to the Police Dept. here. Too often, missing persons cases are ignored in the first few days. Because the poice worked quickly, they were able to recover Kassandra's phone - huge piece of evidence -- and all the video footage that would likely have been lost over time.
@@lisastork81 Hey Sicko.... your comment says a lot about the rot in your mind and soul.
@@lisastork81Wow what kind of family raised you?? What you said is absolutely bad
Absolutely unbelievable! The prosecutors should be disbarred!!! They had all the evidence they needed to demonstrate without a doubt that he was guilty!!! There’s no jury in the world that wouldn’t conclude that he was guilty!!! The American justice system is a bad joke! Too bad the joke is on the victims and their families!!!! I’m literally disgusted!
The amount of work, time and effort that is put into solving these cases is staggering…. The process for the phones recovery alone was amazing
When you see the case, It’s quite astounding that police have the time or resources to solve much at all
True ,we are actually very fortunate they do have the time and resources. In poverty stricken countries ,they don't. even in U.S ,we sometimes have to hold law enforcement accountable,continue to push for our case to be solved.
Yeah too bad the law dropped the ball after he was arrested.
They should really honour the victim’s family and let them decide to agree to a plea deal or not. This feels like they are disrespecting the victim all over.
Exactly.
They did a GREAT job of discovering what really happened.
The Detective’s on Kassandra’s case were absolutely phenomenal!!! Sending my deepest heartfelt condolences to Kassandra’s Mother, her twin brother and to everyone that loved her. Kasandra’s fun loving and free-spirit touched our world. Again, the Detective’s were Amazing in this case. The prosecutor’s let Kassandra’s family and her loved ones down! Family should have a say on going to trial and sentencing for their loved ones.
@@nancymcmonarch Technically, he did NOT plead guilty. Without consulting the family, prosecutors accepted an Alford plea.
An Alford plea LITERALLY means, "I'm not guilty. They have a lot of things that might convince a jury that I'm guilty, so I'll plead guilty, but I am NOT guilty."
The family deserved their day in court to not only destroy the killer (and add 20 more years to his pathetic 26 year sentence), but to potentially ferret out accomplices.
THAT is why a JURY needs to hear the case.
Tossing a case like this, the way they did, is just about chalking up a win on their little scoreboard, and saving money.
@@MSmith-b33tingU That's awful. I read the law for dummies notes about an Alford deal and it really does read like a guilty-not guilty deal. That's bad.
@@Peet-4269 why are you talking to yourself?
Imagine having a passion for horror and the dark arts…and a psycopath who shares your same passion actually takes inspiration from the most disturbing and frightening stories only to haunt your dreams and destroy your entire life. RIP 🖤
Heartbreaking. She seemed like a very special, innocent type person, like her loving mother.
Yeah, so innocent that she was sleeping with a guy who had a girlfriend and lying to her mother about who impregnated her.
@@beatrixbrennan1545 Which one of the killers are you friends with? Or are you just a common troll?
@morgansmith8290 Not a troll, I'm a victim of a spouse who had an affair, which destroyed the lives of myself and my children. I absolutely hate cheaters and the trashy people that think it's OK to sleep with people in committed relationships.
26 years?!!! Wow! Our justice system really is messed up!!!
Should've gotten a life sentence for the douchy fedora alone!
