What kind of woman wouldn’t be shook up by her “lover” killing his own kids and wife? I mean she wanted to have kids with this man and he just murdered his own sons, wtf!
Right!? Makes zero sense to me why the 'other woman' always thinks it will be different when he's married to her. That she is somehow more special. Smfh
A women whose in on it and equally un-well. A sociopath or psychopath. She clearly enjoyed the attention this case got her, it's alarming in so many ways, SMH.
I thought she came across as not all there - mild learning difficulties or something like that? Her blind devotion would be appealing to someone like Chris Coleman
My mom gave me this advice when I was a teenager, and it's never steered me wrong: "Any man who will leave their wife to be with *you* is entirely likely to someday leave YOU to be with another woman. If he's not willing to divorce his wife *before* even trying to get involved with you? He's a cheater, and cheaters rarely change their ways. So just walk away. Period." Thank you, Mom! *Whew!* (As soon as my kids are old enough, I'll be giving them the exact same advice!)
@@dominiquejeanson3536 Amen to that! I had the unfortunate experience years ago of meeting a woman who seemed to actually enjoy ONLY pursuing sex and/or relationships with men who were already "taken," so to speak. She genuinely seemed to enjoy the sense of power that came from feeling so irresistible that she could entice a man away from a committed, long-term relationship. I initially realized what she was like when she suddenly showed *intense* sexual/relationship interest in my former fiancee; she'd known him since they were kids, and they'd even previously dated, but she never showed any interest in rekindling their relationship *until* she discovered he was engaged to me! Then, suddenly, she began working furiously to rekindle their relationship, to the point that she would set up the most ludicrous situations in order to get him alone with her. It actually would've been hilarious if it wasn't so infuriating at the time. (For example, she'd call half a dozen times a night multiple times per week, crying and hysterically begging my fiancee to come over and help her with some contrived problem. And of course, it was always a problem that she claimed ONLY he could help her with...) She eventually married her best friend's fiancee, (with friends like her, who needs enemies, amirite?!) and last I heard she had abandoned her career and sounded just generally unfulfilled and frustrated. She did apparently eventually reach out to other men who were in relationships, but at that point she was married with kids and was a much less appealing candidate for a fling than when she'd been single. It seems to me, at least, that once she actually got what she thought she wanted, she realized that for her the pleasure was in the chase...once she actually stole her friend's fiancee and married him, the challenge was lost and she was left feeling trapped and tied down.
@@maneckineckbeard1749 I've been looking for a plot for a mystery novel I'm planning to write. What a great antagonist character you describe. Every good mystery begins with "What if?" What if a woman who likes to steal men away from her friends is found bludgeoned to death? Would make for a good mystery. I might try it.
Yeah cause that books his ticket on heaven for SURE. I wish we could get updates from Hell. Like the Hell Chronicles!! I would love to know how their afterlife is fvcked.
as a grandma, all I could think throughout that was didn't Chris' parents care about their grandbabies?? Why are their hearts with their vicious son and not their innocent grandchildren he stole the lives of?? What kind of monsters work that way??
The parents were both ministers, and I hate to say it because I have great respect for people who devote their lives to their faith, but they weren't very good people. This happened near my hometown and I attended some of the trial. They sat in that courtroom and peered down their noses at everyone as if THEY were the victims. They sat through crime scene photos of their grandchildren and daughter-in-law with no problem, but they couldn't handle the videotape of the cops interrogating their precious son and walked out. The grandmother also despised Sheri and often made fun of her.
When hearing about men like Chris and Ron, I feel just straight up *blessed* to have a father with an actually good character. Yes, we may have our arguments, but at the end of the day he is, and has always been, so kind, caring, understanding and responsible. I'm not writing this to brag or anything, I just feel like I have to get this out there right now. Papa, you are absolutely amazing and I love you!!! 💜
There is nothing wrong with bragging on your Papa. Give him the props he deserves. My daddy was the same way and I miss him every second of every day❤️
I think that Tera was one of those “friends” that was always secretly jealous and praying for your downfall while also actively making sure that you don’t succeed more than them.
The way Chris’ dad speaks about Sheri makes my blood boil. The nerve to suggest that she was responsible for the affair and even murder because she wasn’t “putting out?” Disgusting. And to call himself a man of God. Wow
@@McCammalot • Yeah, I was about to say. “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything” - Ephesians 5 There are a lot of blogs trying to say submitting to your husband is actually a “powerful” position & it’s “an honour misunderstood by modern culture”, but if it’s so “misunderstood” by practitioners of today (which I find hard to believe was ever “understood” as another expression of equality, but whatever), then why keep following it if they’re really that concerned about equal power for the woman?
He's not even a man a spoiled little brat in a man sized body. He had a life some men would do anything for and he threw them away I hope he suffers till his end.
I feel embarrassed for women who have affairs with married men and then eventually get married to them. Like sis how are you so sure he isn’t going to do the same thing to you??
My grandpa cheated on my grandma with a woman that im gonna call s, grandpa and grandma divorced and grandpa married s. To this day he still cheats on s😭
It’s honestly crazy to me that Chris’s parents were so anti-Sheri because they didn’t feel like she was a good “Christian” but they were pro Tara 🤦🏽♀️ Tara who was a hostess at a Gentlemans club 😒 Tara who while having the affair with Chris, was also in a relationship with a man named Jesse and went on a cruise with him even though she had been with Chris for a few months at that point. Tara was romantically linked to Sheri‘s brother Mario and they were also talking about marriage and kids while she was talking to Chris about the same things. And I think the craziest thing I found out was that Tara and Chris’s brother Keith were also sending sexually explicit images to each other. So who knows where chris’s dad got that naked photo of Tara? It could’ve come from Chris or it could’ve come from Keith or maybe Tara sent it directly to Ron. It’s also disgusting that Ron and Chris were pushing this narrative of Sheri not doing her “wifely duties” because Sheri’s friends have talked about how Sheri would buy lingerie and try to seduce Chris because she wanted to reconnect with him but he turned her down. So sounds like she was trying to do her “wifely duties” 🤮 but Chris was the one not doing his duties as a husband. He was also a garbage father because apparently the family had planned to go to Disneyland and the kids were super excited about it, but then Chris just canceled the trip without telling Sheri and disappointed his whole family because he wanted to use the money to go on a cruise with Tara. He murdered his whole family for a chick that wasn’t even all the way into him because she was dating three other dudes including his own brother. I guarantee you she just used him for free trips, jewelry but mostly the ability to rub it in Sheri‘s face. She would ask Chris to constantly tell her that he only wanted her and not Sheri. And that she was better and prettier that Sheri. Sounds to me like Sheri’s “best friend” was actually jealous of her and just wanted to take her husband because she could. That’s probably why she was so happy to do those interviews because she got the shine on her and she was able to brag about how Chris chose her over Sheri. I hope they both live miserably.
I was really hoping she would be charged w something. Matter of fact , I wouldnt be surprised that she was part of the plan because she seemed WAYYY to nonchalant about the whole thing. You'd think she'd be absolutely HORRIFIED that her married boyfriend literally freaking murdered his wife and two small CHILDREN and would be absolutely disgusted w him and not want ANYTHING to do with him anymore. Any normal nonsociopathic person would feel that way! So she's either a complete sicko who truly does t care about the fact that guy killed two innocent children and his innocent wife for HER and that it actually strokes her sad little ego ...OR....she was in on the whole thing and should be in jail.
@@jayl0v3ly same. I almost hate her worse than Chris. A whole lot of cold hearted trash bags in this case. It's astounding how many terrible people surrounded Sheri and her babies.
His mistress had to have known the plan. That’s why she’s so nonchalant. Does that guilt not weigh on her?!. I thought this was Tara’s friend. She isn’t even mourning the loss of her friend and 2 innocent boys. I can’t wait for her day of judgement. And the parents?! Going on TV and victim blaming poor Tara. I wonder what the wife thought when she found out her husband had x rates photos of their son’s mistress?! The nerve of these ppl. They all are horrible
I am sometimes so glad to have nosy neighbors!! I know if I am ever in trouble, Mrs A and Mrs K know whose balls to bust!! Not that they would save me though.....maybe not so helpful afterall but you know what I mean.
I always feel so bad for the neghbor when it comes to this case. I can’t imagine how angry he must have been when he realized that Chris did this, and then decided to traumatize him by making him part of it. Not only did he send him over there to find the bodies, but It had to be hard for him to then have to break the news to Chris, only to find out that it was all part of his sick plan.
The neighbor, Justin Barlow, was a detective with the CPD. He is the grandson of a police chief (Dupo, Illinois), and has devoted his life to law enforcement. I know people who knew him well when he worked in Columbia, and he was really well respected there. He said later that this case affected him more than any other he ever worked on. He said when they entered the house and found three dead bodies, he felt the presence of Satan in the house.
The fact that both wives names start with “S” is also chilling. Sheri and Shannan. May they along with their beautiful children RIP. And I hope that both Chris’ never get released from prison!!
Plus the fact both Chris's parents tried blaming the wives for being MURDERED & AFFAIRS. . .and even more disgusting not giving two damns their sons killed their grandbabies . . .they all are just gross 🤢
@@cuntress5902 I agree she was totally going to say bitch. I have this kind of mother in law and theirs nothing the love more then talking poorly / making up stuff about others but will instantly become a rabid animal when someone speaks the truth or has opinion on them that is bad. So, she was sure to bite her tongue to save her reputation but it was really hard bc, again, they adore talking nasty about others.
It's not just the fact that Tara knew Chris murdered his wife; it's that they were friends in high-school! I mean he'd murdered her old friend. Besides merely having an affair.
@@littleshopofeldritchhorror6224 my husband’s name is Christian, and his family calls him Chris for short. And he’s such a sweet gentleman who wouldn’t hurt a fly 🥺 the only time I’ve ever seen a violent side in him is when my ex was harassing me through all of my social media accounts and my husband threatened to knock him out if he kept harassing me 😂
Poor Sheri. She was surrounded with people who had absolutely no morals or care about others. Her brother apparently stole money donated to the family after their deaths too. Rest In Peace
I'm so glad that you mentioned Tara's weird response to her work calling! She comes off as if she is excited to be a part of something...anything..with zero appreciation of how awful and tragic the situation that she is "right on the middle of" is. It's absolutely disgusting! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said she was almost proud. Chris, Tara and both of his parents are just despicable! Shame of all of them! I hope Sherry and her beautiful children are at peace. This is so sad.💔
I thought Chris Watts mistress Nicole was bad. But Tara takes the cake. I had doubts Nicole knew anything about Watts plan but I Tara did NOT seem to be surprised at all. Everyone hated Amber Fry but she didn't even know he was married AND she helped the police get information.
So wild to see this case covered by you! I’ve never seen someone cover this one and I never thought I would. I grew up in Columbia, Illinois where this happened. I was only 2 years older than the eldest son and though they went to a different school, several of my friends were close with the boys. I remember the day it happened at school we were only informed something big and very serious had happened that has shaken the community and that our parents could tell us more when we got home. I even remembering briefly fearing it could happened to any of us when I heard the news. And it really is such a lovely town, very very quiet and low crime so it was a SHOCK. All the little league teams in our town that year put Garrett and Gavin’s initials on the sleeves of our uniforms as they had both been apart of it. Thank you so much for the coverage of this one, even I learned so much more than before. There’s a really poorly done book about it that completely misrepresents the town and the people that live there but this was just perfect. Thank you so much!
Having grown up in North Carolina and forced to go to church as a child, I have a deep distrust of people who wear their religion on their sleeve. Typically, I still avoid those people whenever possible. I moved back to Charlotte when I got out of the US Army (I was stationed at Fort Bragg so not really a big geographic change) and followed this case as it happened. It was big news here perhaps because we're like a traditional market for charlatans like Joyce Meyers (do recall the Jim and Tammy Fay Baker dumpster fire; that was here).
Whew Chris mom is the most textbook example of a Karen I've ever seen. And the father is a crazy person! I'm not shocked he turned out the way he did with these two winners for parents.
I'm an avid consumer of anything true-crime, and I feel like I know 5 million cases, but you are still always doing cases I have never heard of! And I feel like if you cover something I have heard of, I still learn new details, and different narratives. You've done a great job, I am excited to see how your channel grows, merch n all.
This all went on in my town, and I really don't know how she even gets this information! I have tried to find anything I can about this case!! She is truly so good at what she does.
@@sarahsouthworth274 It's called diligence and research; but, she repeatedly says Chris "excels in everything", then ends on "he whines and cries because he never could get his way". Yes, he lost in court, but never getting his way was not a problem for a while.
When Chris’ father said it was basically Sheri’s fault for the affair- my head could’ve lifted off my neck into outer space from my blood pressure exploding my heart!!!!! Are you kidding me?!?!? What planet did Chris, his parents, & his mistress come from? Seriously-OMG!
FOREAL . They making me so fkn mad And chris's dad is a pastor but saying its Sheri's Fault ??? Ok so I guess they son is jus perfect its craziness 😒😒😒.
That really makes me angry too. Oh how I wish the interviewer asked Chris father “why the police found Tara’s naked photos on your computer?” Haaa, I just wish to see his face and his wife 😡
This shook our area. They were a friends of our family friends type deal and when I heard what happened I was crazy upset!!! As anyone would be, but when someone runs in similar circles does something like this it makes you question a lot. I come from a Christian family but he and his parents were definitely not living a Christ-like example in their behaviors. It happened literally 20 minutes from our home and it was unbelievable at first. Side note: Chester and Chicago are a little over 6 hours apart in Illinois :-)
So, was Chris’ mom not doing her “wifely duties” and that makes it ok for her husband to have explicit photos of his SON’S GF?! The mental gymnastics are astounding.
Oh god, Tara knew about the murders. If I were dating someone and they murdered three people, two of them children (worse, HIS OWN children!), and I was informed of it I would be HORRIFIED! Then again, I'd never date someone who's already married to someone else, but yeah I'd be horrified. She totally knew he was gonna do it!
Everytime I hear "wifely duties," a piece of my soul leaves my body and ascends to a higher plane out of solidarity with my sisters before me who had to hear it, had to abide by it, or who were punished for it. Like last I checked, it's the 21st century?! Women 👏 don't 👏 owe 👏 you 👏 anything 👏
Chris’ mistress pisses me off so bad with how giddy she was when she got that text from Chris while she was talking with the detectives. I absolutely despise her behavior and I hope like hell she gets what she deserves!😡
This woman is worse. She KNEW what she was doing in destroying the lives of her "best friend" and the children. She instigated this relationship and was proud to have betrayed Sheri. Nichole Kessinger was horrendous, but Tara is her on steroids. There's no separation Tara could claim. Sheri and the boys were on a family level with her. It's despicable.
I really think they both planned it. But she got away with it. The thing is there's everything so similar in both cases. I was mad when she was reffered as "best friend"
I am Christian and let me just say that Chris' dad's reaction to his son's affair is absolutely disgusting and definitely not biblical in the slightest. No, Christians are not perfect. Yes, pastors are regular people like everyone else, but for him to make excuses like that for his son's behavior is wrong on so many levels.
100% agree. Loving your wife as Christ loved the church is a commandment to love her passionately and devotedly enough to give your life for her. To protect her. To cherish and respect her. Not to have an affair because she's not having sex with you. This isn't Christianity, this is self worshiping narcissism.
Yes. It IS important to remember that he’s a pastor. Because these are BASE beliefs in Christianity. Wives are to “submit” to their husbands. Follow their “lead.” Puke. It doesn’t matter if they’re Ill-equipped to lead. It doesn’t matter if he’s abusive or mentally ill or a terrible father. Listen, I spent 30 years in the church. I respect individuals who deserve respect, regardless of religious beliefs. But calling oneself a Christian doesn’t automatically make you a decent human deserving of respect on its own. 🤷♀️
@@danielledaniel1900 it makes me sick, too. I’m still in shock that it took me so long to get out from under that shit. I realize that there are more progressive Christians out there, but that’s a whole other Oprah episode. And those aren’t the ones with all the power and influence in our government. It’s there frightening ones who rule the world.
@@danielledaniel1900 I was raised in it so I just didn’t know any better. It’s amazing the things you don’t know when you’re kept in a bubble. This is why you’re not allowed to be on the internet in Scientology.
I worked in a coal mine in Southern Illinois when this case was going on or was still fresh. There was another person there who had the same last name as Chris here and we pointed that out to him. He, unbothered, just says "oh yea, that's my cousin. I always thought he was off." And left it at that. He seemed like an OK guy himself. Just threw us because we didn't realize there would be an actual connection there.
Does Chris's parents give anyone else Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar vibes? The wife should be at all times "joyfully available". Ok where did that get Josh?
1000% Duggar vibes. sexsist victim blaming, not holding their son accountable, and putting on a good front when they are not good people. I can almost understand wanting to defend their son...but these boys were THEIR grandsons! They are their blood too!
Well, a common quoted part of the bible IS “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything”, so…debates around what “submitting” means aside, are we surprised these people who let their organized religion be the #1 ruler of their lives thought this way? To clarify, I don’t believe religion itself is inherently harmful, but ORGANIZED religion is never immune to the desires of humans who want power and end up abusing said power to keep themselves on top, so…long story short: if their is a power hierarchy in an organized religious group - a religion that ALREADY centres around worshipping another otherworldly being - then there are going to be problems.
@@izstrella completely agree, it's living by the old law and forgetting that salvation saved that, but a common issue we see in these cases is where the parents are living as if we are in the old periods and if you break any these religious teachings then they abuse their kids which is so wrong.
Joyce Meyer admitted in her depositions that he would have been fired for divorcing his wife if he had initiated the divorce. She claimed that she wasn’t aware of the affair or he would have been fired for that.
@@Cheryl_in_TX yea id say that's true...definitely not..meyers knew exactly what was going on ..when she was being interviewed by the police she was looking through the officer not at him ..she's a total hypocrite
Lol I highly doubt Joyce Meyers was aware. Pretty sure she has plenty of other things to focus on and doesn’t watch her bodyguard to see if he has someone in his room.
Chris’s “religious” parents are a great example of why I turned my back on organized religion! In my 60 years, I have seen an extraordinary number of “religious” men and women commit the most heinous crimes and then, try to hide behind their “faith!” I’m a retired Federal Probation and Parole officer and worked before that for a District Attorney as a Victim-Witness Coordinator. We had two Deacons of churches in my home town murder their wives (to be with mistresses) because they did not want to go through a divorce as the “Church” would not approve! One of these murders occurred just 3 blocks from my own home. It’s horrifying the violence that people will do because of/in the name of religion. I will never, ever step foot in a church again and I run far and fast away from “religious” people. I live my life trying to be a kind, charitable person. I just don’t think most “religions” encourage kindness, forgiveness, inclusiveness, love, and compassion anymore! Being religious does NOT make you a good person! Just the opposite, in lots of cases, is my experience! Chris and his parents are the perfect despicable examples of evil people hiding behind their fake pious personas. It’s hard to believe anyone in their right mind would attend a church that these two people “preach” at! Naked pics of his married sons’ girlfriend on his computer?? Disgusting human beings, he and his “Karen” wife! There’s a special place in hell for all 3 of them (as well as Tara, who is completely trashy in EVERY respect). Let’s stop listening to preachers and just be nice and respectful to each other, regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender, etc. At this point, I feel like organized religion is ruining this country! It has certainly been the catalyst for many a horrific crime I have personally had the misfortune of having to deal with.
So I just found your channel like 3 days ago. I’ve been binge watching!!! First, every episode, yes I said episode is amazing. True crime with makeup… freaking awesome!!! Second, I love how your nails match your eyeshadow… I’m like this girl - love her. Finally, I had no idea about this guy. It is most definitely Chris Watts down to the core. Keep up all the great vids. You rock!!!
The entitlement Chris and his father display I swear. If you want to be “respected” (To put the kind of spin they want on it, I’m feeling generous today), *be a person worthy of respect*. And this means knowing even having it earns you nothing. Good people treat their loved ones well and pressure them into nothing you “men of God.”
I worked with Tara for about 3 or so years and I came across this case a couple of years ago while I was already working with her and boy, I was completely floored. And to answer your question about her on the phone with her work/interview room, she really is just like that. She speaks very blunt and she kinda just says whatever she wants. A lot of our co-workers including myself didn't really enjoy her company.
Sheri and Garrett and Gavin all looked like beautiful souls and I only hope they’re at peace. Same for their families. They didn’t deserve any of this.
This happened 20 minutes from my house, and the Coleman’s were neighbors with one of my best friends. It was such a heartbreaking time for our community. Thank you for bringing attention to the case. ❤️
Right! It’s insane he even filed a case on it but it comes to some police negligence. It was a genuine death threat! So often police have ignored an explicit warning that death is coming.
Cops always say, ( We can’t help unless u get evidence ) Well here u go , This is in all abuse n murder cases, After that they react , Basically they act when someone dead,in this n many other cases ????
I had heard of this case, but I hadn't dug deeply into the family. I think we're seeing a cluster of narcissism, mistress including. Obviously I can't diagnose someone I've never treated, I can only speculate. Narcissistic parents have a high probability of raising narcissistic children. There are definite red flags that point to cluster b personality types in this case. Remember, all psychopaths (antisocial personality disorder) are narcissists, but not all narcissists are psychopaths.
“ she wears short shorts and has tattoos on her legs “ - lol same and I spend my days making things to sell, looking after my mum and watching vids like this to keep me entertained. Probably speak to about 3 people a week other than my mum ( usually shop workers) 🤣- I am literally such a rebellious person you carnt stop me causing havoc with my tattood legs
My mom is super anti-abortion and even took me to anti-abortion marches as a kid. That didn't stop her from taking our dog to get an abortion, because puppies would be inconvenient.
@@someonerandom256 That’s sick. I’m pro-life and that includes animals!! Those poor puppies :( The only way I can see and understand abortion is if carrying the baby would kill or severely disable the mother (like, in a life or death situation where you have to pick the mom or the baby/babies- obviously pick the mom). But to abort puppies because she doesn’t want to care for them? That’s gross and awful
I watched this on 60 minutes back in like 2012 and I was also attending a Megachurch at the time where they kept changing their mind on Joyce Myers. (I'm also from Illinois btw) I had no idea how much else bs was going on. That said, stopped going to that Megachurch and while they've been under fire since like 2017 (should've been sooner) they didn't give victims the justice they deserved either. Its so hard to find a not corrupt church here ugh 😑 Poor Sheri and the boys. They did not deserve any of this. I also hope his parents lost any respect in their community.
I watch your videos basically all day everyday and I’m not looking forward to the day that I’ve seen every video and I have to find something else. I actually watch them throughout my work day and then I come home and watch more and have my earbuds in so my family doesn’t have to hear the gruesome details (I’m also autistic so I constantly have something like a video or music on) but I don’t normally wear headphones or earbuds so whenever I am they know I’m watching your videos. One day my grandma came over and was like “what’s she watching?” And they instantly said “most likely Danielle Kirsty”
6 minutes in and Sherry seems like so cute and kind just from the photos of her... it deeply sickens me how nasty hardcore religious folks can be and the fact that people choose the side of evil for what seems like... no reason!
40:01 I think that the Chris Watts case also blew up more than this one because it started as a missing persons case and Chris did so many public appeals with his tears of crocodile. Not to mention the horrible way he disposed of their bodies as well.
I think this is an important link. I think their parents made them feel like they deserve the perfect woman so any time they didn’t get exactly what they wanted, they thought it was their partners fault cause they could do no wrong. The entitlement is strong cause their parents made them think they were a gift from God. The ick is so icky I’m icked out
@@TheRealLucyMae so crazy how they expected her to be perfect when her son was so not perfect so sad how his stupid decisions killed his family ugh always the innocent 😔 the innocent ones who suffer.
@@2000firegirl This is why parents should always remember that it’s not your job to be liked, it’s your job to make sure your kids are decent people. I would say that entitlement had a big role in both cases. Poor innocent paid the price and it’s sickening
this also reminds me of the scott peterson case, with the parents treating their son like he's perfect and can do no wrong, and if he did, it wasn't his fault
Joyce Meyer doesn't allow her employees to divorce, they'd lose their job. Which is SO hypocritical as she was divorced once! I hope after this happened, she changed that policy since it led to 3 lives ending!

OMG I love her nail polish!!! is really pretty, I love how she matches her eye makeup with her nails and she lists the nail polish as a product she uses in every video!!!
After following the Watts case for so long I decided to do my research on the Coleman case as I never followed it. How happy I am to come across your channel. You described this case brilliantly while showing me a new color scheme for my eyes!!! Subscribing ❤️
Omg the similarities to the CW case is CRAZY!!!! Right down to the way both Chris's parents treated both Sherri and Shannan. Neither set of grandparents seemed to care that their beautiful grandbabies were gone... Sick and very sad
What’s crazy to me is how he did the BARE MINIMUM to hide the murder. He might as well have tried to stage it as a “robbery gone wrong.” Like he clearly is so narcissistic he just assumed the police would believe everything he said and, when they didn’t, he’s over here trying to gaslight the…science? Did he not know they would look through his computer? Did he not realize the detective would check the cctv footage of a camera that the DETECTIVE pointed at their house? Absolutely bizarre
@@lucyw.7597 i think of you were anywhere close to bright you wouldn’t attempt to murder someone and think you could get away with it! he did t even get rid of the receipt for the “apple red” spray paint. smh
Cops: There were naked pictures of you on his Dad's computer. Tara: Wait, what. (Girl, I don't even feel bad for you. You give a rats behind that this man killed his wife and kids to be with you.) Also, when women that are in this situation find out that the man they were having an affair with killed their wife and children do they *really* think that it won't happen to them too? What's going to happen chicca when he gets bored of you?
Oh my gosh, right? He murdered his wife and kids. Tara: “oh yea, we was screwing. I sent him lots of nudes to keep his attention on me.” Cop: “his dad had some.” Tara: “What?! That is so wrong and offensive. How dare he do that?”
It’s so clear that dearest dad was in it , if u want my son u gotta want me to,Chris is like u Have to get my Dads Authority,send him nude photos ( LOL )
Narcissistic parents raise narcissists, same in Casey Anthony's case, and many, many others. These monsters are created. A child who "can do no wrong" while being held to impossible standard by a controlling parent at the same time, quickly learns that to do no wrong, he has only to pretend that he did no wrong. P.S. He did not murder his lovely wife and kids because he feared that divorce would cost him his job. He murdered her because of narcissistic rage, and narcissistic discard, all precipitated by his wife knowing that he was not the man he pretended to be, and therefore in his mind, he lost control over her and she became an enemy to be destroyed, and children became an enemy by proxy. I was married to a narcissist for over a decade, and it was a miracle he did not manage to kill me; unfortunately, for many women, the story doesn't end the same way.
I was with at least 3 controlling, jealous, abusive men, it took me over 10 years to learn I deserved better. One of them slept around, after I left he got in a relationship with the woman he was cheating on me with, had a child and proceeded to sleep around again. For over 18 months I would get over 30 calls a day a few times a week, he was cheating and she was calling and saying nothing, she thought he was with me. He tried to get back with me after a few years, he was showing off with his abusive behaviour towards his partner and her mom (somehow he thought that would impress me) and confirmed where the harassment was coming from, I told him unless they both stopped contacting me I'd go straight to the police. And then I HAD PIECE AND QUIET.
Interesting her behavior and body language from the interrogation was mentioned and how drastically it changed when she was asked more about the murders. A cluster of abnormal behaviors can mean that someone is being deceitful!
Someone in our town murdered his kids “for love”. He drowned his kids and said he was napping when they got out. He got out of jail this year :( he was in for 15 I think.
I came across this channel a week ago- and girl, I've inhaled all your true crime videos in one breath :D. Your voice is so pleasant to listen to, as well as the way you're telling the stories themselves. More people should know about this channel. Keep it up
What kind of person would plan to have children with a partner who literally killed their other children? That is Greek tragedy-level stupid. Also, anyone else think she wasn’t surprised her nude photos were on the father’s computer? I think she got off on it. What a sicko.
I remember seeing this case on Dateline, years ago. Idk about privilege OR ( & I'm guessing on this next part based on his parents beliefs,him not believing in divorce-or being fearful he would loose his job over it, & his work w/ Joyce Myers) the type of strict Southern Baptist upbringing I suspect he had ( ie:see my prior far too long reasons I believe this was his upbringing). I can relate to the stress of bringing home someone who wasn't of the same faith or heaven forbid- no faith at all- that was a sin of paramount consequences. Regardless of all that, as a parent, @ some point you have to pull the cloak from your in front of your eyes so you can CLEARLY see your kid for who they REALLY are, if that doesn't work, they need to put on some glasses!! What really chapped my khakis was the creepy dad having pictures of Chris's mistress, Tara, in "compromising" positions. What a perv. And he calls himself a married MAN OF GOD. It's crap like this that give people of REAL FAITH a BAD name- cause truthfully, if he's looking @ "compromising" pics ( =naked pics ) of his SONS MISTRESS, this ain't his first rodeo( sorry, my southern roots are coming out-can't help it... this case PISSES ME OFF). His judg-ey, wife stayed w/ him b/c I'm sure he made her feel crazy and said he only had the pics b/c she wasn't performing HER wifely duties, so he needed something to keep him from straying... this is some sick 🤢mess! And the more I think about Tara's reaction when they told her,her lover was sending her explicit photos to his pastor father for his viewing pleasure ( the mental images that gives me just literally make me feel gross, disgusted, nauseated 🤢🤢). She just shrugged & said " idk anything about that." I would've been furious. But even worse, she obviously didn't care about her"best friend" to begin w/ as she had been traveling the world w/ her husband, wearing his "promise ring"-how middle school of him 😬, picking out baby names, & she had no emotion AT ALL about her BEST FRIEND, & 2 beautiful precious boys who were truly the innocents in all of this- no emotion at all when she was talking to detectives about their murder. NOT A DROP OF EMOTION. Instead, she was PROUD. Its like He was living 2 completely separate lives & wanted trade in his family for a new one- new kids, new wife. And she was happy to comply. I am CONVINCED that she was 100% involved w/ helping him plan this murder( even the fake email account, the death threats blah blah)... I don't they were smart at all- He knew the camera was aimed at his door so he couldn't have thought that thru- for the plan to work, they needed to make sure someone was caught going in or out of that house close to the time of death( duh) and the receipt for the spray paint - again ( Duh- a detectives dream). I don't think she killed them, but for her... they'd still be alive. And you mentioned him showing signs of being a psychopath- I think we have more than 1 in this case w/ the mistress absolutely being a close 2nd to Chris.
This happened right down the street from where I live. The house where this happened is still there, and it gives me chills. RIP to Sheri, Gavin and Garett. They did not deserve this at all💜
Thank you for your opinions, Danielle! Especially your willingness to call out sexism and hypocrisy. I love your unique and much needed voice. Thank you for using your YT platform to share it! ❤️❤️
Hey beautiful! I’m gonna have to skip this one due to the children being involved. Ever since I became a Grandma, I’m a weenie. I’m literally soft as cotton! But I’m definitely going to check out this game. 😁 can’t wait to see you next week ❤️
She was high as a kite. She was fidgety and moving constantly, talking fast, clever with her words, quick response' s and most telling Disconnected from reality.
So with the stability that being a bodyguard may bring: instead of relocating every few months, they could remain in their place while Chris traveled for a few weeks to a month. In the military you may change bases across the country or the world. Toting along a family every transfer would be very difficult.
Chris and Tara are perfect for each other: they're 🗑 🚮. Also a pastor excusing adultery? He needs to read the ten commandments again. Omg as I was typing this, you said his dad had been sent x-rated pics of Tara by Chris. 🤢 He'd rather kill his family than be fired??? As though murder isn't the worst sin?
@@alexrose8299 I totally agree hun!! On top of all the other charges it should also include something about that pillow.... just shows the lack of empathy he has, can't even be bothered to think of a decent excuse. My two year old doesn't even have excuses as bad as that 😂
@@SJ-ou9xs agreed wholeheartedly. He was dumb and careless. Didn’t even give them any afterthought and felt that others would believe his weak excuse because they don’t matter. His as pitiful as the dad.
Hi Danielle! I really find your videos fascinating! Do you think that you will do a separate video on Chris Watts? I fell down the rabbit hole (once again) with that case recently and I would really love to hear your take on it. It really is so very similar to this case which is very uncanny but I’m interested to hear what your opinions are on his parents and sister as well as his previous mistress since we have so much footage to look at.
Coleman lived in Columbia, IL, right across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, MO, my hometown. I knew he was the murderer as soon as they tracked his cell phone movements. Instead of crossing the JB Bridge from St. Louis and veering right into Columbia, he went left into Dupo, Illinois and drove around for five minutes or so before going home. He wanted the police to arrive at his home for their "wellness check" before he himself arrived. When he did arrive, Justin Barlow and the other 2 police officers had already discovered the three dead bodies in the house. I attended many days of that trial, and the hatred between the families is that courtroom was so heavy you could feel it in the air. When he was convicted, the cheering outside the courthouse in Waterloo was wild. BTW, Coleman's mother showing up in a wheelchair was just a bid for sympathy. The woman could walk with no trouble.
I'm just starting to watch and I'm already getting an Entwistle vibe about his parents. Their precious baby boy couldn't possibly do anything wrong, especially considering he's with a heathen, so surely it must be her. He'd never hurt a fly 🙄 Edit after watching: I love how he's so worried about the stigma that divorce would have on his job, so he decides that murder is the better way to go. I think I remember watching a documentary on this case ages ago and the lady he worked for was informed of his thinking, that he would lose his job if he got divorced and all of that, and if I remember it right, she actually said that wouldn't have happened. She said that they don't encourage people to get divorced, but it happens, so she would have just worked it out with him. I think she meant it as she would be there to counsel him, or his wife, if it was necessary, but his job was secure, so he killed them for absolutely no reason.
Part of me wishes Danielle would interview these crazy people and their family's but I'm pretty sure "Sassy Danielle" would make an appearance and she'd get fired for losing her cool.
You are my fav crime story teller or whatever you call it lol. You speak clearly and don’t have overly bad dramatic acting that other TH-camrs have. Also I find watching your makeup routine therapeutic 😂😂.
Danielle - the reason I just LOVE your channel is because of the way you go about giving us these true crime stories. I feel like I'm talking to a friend and you're telling me these interesting true crime stories. I get so lonely sometimes and I just put on one of your videos and it makes me feel like I'm with a friend. So thank you!! Regarding this case - I've NEVER cared for this particular televangelist - and that's DEFINITELY putting it MILDLY!!! Imo - she is exactly like his parents - looking down her nose at everyone else as if she's not also merely human and is without flaw or sin herself. And the mistress is nauseating. The way she acts so proud of being "in the middle of a high profile murder case". She is such a disgusting human being. Right up there with Chris. Sick. P.S. - I ADORE "sassy Danielle".
After all of the events that unfolded, it makes me wonder why Tara would even want to be with, yet alone marry, someone who would murder his entire family? My days would be spent wondering if and when he would do the same to me if I was her.
These cases are about the perpetrator resetting the game when they dont like how its going. Hitting reset means erasing everything that had been done in that game session, including the children. In this case religion facilitated to an already sociopathic mind the rationalization of their "erasing" as necessary evil to maintain order.
Oh that whiney voice. I bet that he learned when he was a little kid that that's the voice to use on his parents when he wants to get out of trouble and make it seem like he didn't do something that he absolutely did do, and it just never stopped working on his parents so now he thinks it'll work on the cops.
I love your videos so much, so well research and great story telling! Make up is fab too, I also love the attention to detail with the matching nail varnish every video 👌
I like the way you say your stories you don’t have like suspense music on your videos and I don’t get paranoid scared or have nightmares like with other TH-camrs who have the same content.
I’m only 12 mins in and I am already feeling my blood pressure rising! 🤯 How does leaving the military bc you want to have a more settled & less dangerous job now that you have a family, lead to becoming a personal bodyguard for a famous female religious leader, who is basically constantly “on tour “, so you’re rarely ever home, make sense? Not to mention the fact that religious events tend to cause a lot of controversy that puts them more at risk of being hurt. 🙄 So now he is never hardly home and his wife is having to take care of the kids, house, & everything else, all alone, without him. The little time he was around, to help, is the only time she has a chance to relax at all. By the time he gets back home she is probably 100% exhausted and has zero energy left for those“wifely duties “! Maybe if he did his “father & spouse duty” like he vowed to do, she would have the energy for more of that “wifely duty” he was whining about😬😵💫
@@Ninjaair64 I don’t think so. I feel like his decision to get out of the Military was his original intention. I think his parents were behind him taking the bodyguard job. They thought he “deserved” a better wife, & she wasn’t good for their son. They want him to find someone else, and what better way to get him away from her and around the type of women they wanted him to marry, than get your famous friend, to hire him as her personal bodyguard where he is constantly around the kind of women they want, and keeps him away from the wife that they don’t like. They also likely knew how much stress this would put on her, trying to get her to leave him. Parents like his tend to be a huge part of the “what went wrong” problems that lead them these situations!
Wow! I’ve seen this story told many many times but never with so much background information. I loved seeing so much passion from you , this story made me equally as angry! Appreciate all your hard work Danielle, thanks for another great Sunday upload!!!
I enjoy your True Crime Stories...I love the way you narrate these horrific stories... Thank you Danielle. I appreciate you. Also your make up is Beautifully done...
What kind of woman wouldn’t be shook up by her “lover” killing his own kids and wife? I mean she wanted to have kids with this man and he just murdered his own sons, wtf!
Right!? Makes zero sense to me why the 'other woman' always thinks it will be different when he's married to her. That she is somehow more special. Smfh
A women whose in on it and equally un-well. A sociopath or psychopath. She clearly enjoyed the attention this case got her, it's alarming in so many ways, SMH.
I thought she came across as not all there - mild learning difficulties or something like that? Her blind devotion would be appealing to someone like Chris Coleman
@@daniellele6195 wow great observation 👏
My thoughts exactly! Two innocent children. So very sad.
My mom gave me this advice when I was a teenager, and it's never steered me wrong: "Any man who will leave their wife to be with *you* is entirely likely to someday leave YOU to be with another woman. If he's not willing to divorce his wife *before* even trying to get involved with you? He's a cheater, and cheaters rarely change their ways. So just walk away. Period."
Thank you, Mom! *Whew!* (As soon as my kids are old enough, I'll be giving them the exact same advice!)
Yeah, I've heard it as "if they'll cheat *with* you, they'll cheat *on* you" and it's good advice. Once a cheater...
@@dominiquejeanson3536 Amen to that! I had the unfortunate experience years ago of meeting a woman who seemed to actually enjoy ONLY pursuing sex and/or relationships with men who were already "taken," so to speak. She genuinely seemed to enjoy the sense of power that came from feeling so irresistible that she could entice a man away from a committed, long-term relationship. I initially realized what she was like when she suddenly showed *intense* sexual/relationship interest in my former fiancee; she'd known him since they were kids, and they'd even previously dated, but she never showed any interest in rekindling their relationship *until* she discovered he was engaged to me! Then, suddenly, she began working furiously to rekindle their relationship, to the point that she would set up the most ludicrous situations in order to get him alone with her. It actually would've been hilarious if it wasn't so infuriating at the time. (For example, she'd call half a dozen times a night multiple times per week, crying and hysterically begging my fiancee to come over and help her with some contrived problem. And of course, it was always a problem that she claimed ONLY he could help her with...)
She eventually married her best friend's fiancee, (with friends like her, who needs enemies, amirite?!) and last I heard she had abandoned her career and sounded just generally unfulfilled and frustrated. She did apparently eventually reach out to other men who were in relationships, but at that point she was married with kids and was a much less appealing candidate for a fling than when she'd been single.
It seems to me, at least, that once she actually got what she thought she wanted, she realized that for her the pleasure was in the chase...once she actually stole her friend's fiancee and married him, the challenge was lost and she was left feeling trapped and tied down.
My mom gave me the very same advice.
@@maneckineckbeard1749 I've been looking for a plot for a mystery novel I'm planning to write. What a great antagonist character you describe. Every good mystery begins with "What if?" What if a woman who likes to steal men away from her friends is found bludgeoned to death? Would make for a good mystery. I might try it.
@@janabradley6575 there wouldn't be a shortage of suspects!
“Divorce is bad - we’ll both go to hell.” *proceeds to brutally murder wife and two young children after having an illicit affair*
Yup, cause somehow divorce is worse then murder 🙄
"divorce? oh heavens no I'll go to hell omg. murder AND adultery? yeah that seems just about right"
Yeah cause that books his ticket on heaven for SURE. I wish we could get updates from Hell. Like the Hell Chronicles!! I would love to know how their afterlife is fvcked.
Exactly!!! It's crazy!!
@@ananyaneralla5382 That would be so awesome.
as a grandma, all I could think throughout that was didn't Chris' parents care about their grandbabies?? Why are their hearts with their vicious son and not their innocent grandchildren he stole the lives of?? What kind of monsters work that way??
Those grandchildren were never good enough for their precious son, just like their mother wasn't. They were probably glad to be rid of them.
Evil parents, claiming to be Christian, raised an evil son who also claimed to be be Christian. These are truly disgustingly twisted people!!!
The parents were both ministers, and I hate to say it because I have great respect for people who devote their lives to their faith, but they weren't very good people. This happened near my hometown and I attended some of the trial. They sat in that courtroom and peered down their noses at everyone as if THEY were the victims. They sat through crime scene photos of their grandchildren and daughter-in-law with no problem, but they couldn't handle the videotape of the cops interrogating their precious son and walked out. The grandmother also despised Sheri and often made fun of her.
Straight up my ex and his family. Waiting to see him on the news one day. So happy I ran.
@@AlfredTortelloni yeah I have a feeling they felt that way with the grandsons just because they were Sheri’s offspring.
When hearing about men like Chris and Ron, I feel just straight up *blessed* to have a father with an actually good character. Yes, we may have our arguments, but at the end of the day he is, and has always been, so kind, caring, understanding and responsible. I'm not writing this to brag or anything, I just feel like I have to get this out there right now. Papa, you are absolutely amazing and I love you!!! 💜
There is nothing wrong with bragging on your Papa. Give him the props he deserves. My daddy was the same way and I miss him every second of every day❤️
I think that Tera was one of those “friends” that was always secretly jealous and praying for your downfall while also actively making sure that you don’t succeed more than them.
yep! definitely. I even wonder if she's genuinely interested in chris or if it's just to get back at her friend
Yup.
@@The_Cherokee_Gypsy wow. Not in my world. Maybe you attract what you put out.
@@The_Cherokee_Gypsy hmm not true at all, most women aren't plotting against their friends, maybe you should get better friends
@@ray-hv9qt I don’t have friends so I don’t have to worry about it lol
The way Chris’ dad speaks about Sheri makes my blood boil. The nerve to suggest that she was responsible for the affair and even murder because she wasn’t “putting out?” Disgusting. And to call himself a man of God. Wow
Unfortunately there are denominations that very much consider this to be the right of a “man of God.”
@@McCammalot Is very sad that they are wrong.
@@McCammalot • Yeah, I was about to say.
“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything” - Ephesians 5
There are a lot of blogs trying to say submitting to your husband is actually a “powerful” position & it’s “an honour misunderstood by modern culture”, but if it’s so “misunderstood” by practitioners of today (which I find hard to believe was ever “understood” as another expression of equality, but whatever), then why keep following it if they’re really that concerned about equal power for the woman?
He's not even a man a spoiled little brat in a man sized body. He had a life some men would do anything for and he threw them away I hope he suffers till his end.
Because I wonder how many affairs Ron has had...👀👀👀
I feel embarrassed for women who have affairs with married men and then eventually get married to them. Like sis how are you so sure he isn’t going to do the same thing to you??
I dont get why most people get married to begin with. It's kind of dumb, in my opinion.
You do lose them how you get them. Besides, you'll always be paranoid. It won't be long before the side chick position is filled again.
My grandpa cheated on my grandma with a woman that im gonna call s, grandpa and grandma divorced and grandpa married s. To this day he still cheats on s😭
Always say they way u got them is how u loose them 100%!!
@@ghg789987 yeah agreed. I'm never getting married, I'm happier than a clam
It’s honestly crazy to me that Chris’s parents were so anti-Sheri because they didn’t feel like she was a good “Christian” but they were pro Tara 🤦🏽♀️ Tara who was a hostess at a Gentlemans club 😒 Tara who while having the affair with Chris, was also in a relationship with a man named Jesse and went on a cruise with him even though she had been with Chris for a few months at that point.
Tara was romantically linked to Sheri‘s brother Mario and they were also talking about marriage and kids while she was talking to Chris about the same things. And I think the craziest thing I found out was that Tara and Chris’s brother Keith were also sending sexually explicit images to each other. So who knows where chris’s dad got that naked photo of Tara? It could’ve come from Chris or it could’ve come from Keith or maybe Tara sent it directly to Ron.
It’s also disgusting that Ron and Chris were pushing this narrative of Sheri not doing her “wifely duties” because Sheri’s friends have talked about how Sheri would buy lingerie and try to seduce Chris because she wanted to reconnect with him but he turned her down. So sounds like she was trying to do her “wifely duties” 🤮 but Chris was the one not doing his duties as a husband. He was also a garbage father because apparently the family had planned to go to Disneyland and the kids were super excited about it, but then Chris just canceled the trip without telling Sheri and disappointed his whole family because he wanted to use the money to go on a cruise with Tara.
He murdered his whole family for a chick that wasn’t even all the way into him because she was dating three other dudes including his own brother. I guarantee you she just used him for free trips, jewelry but mostly the ability to rub it in Sheri‘s face. She would ask Chris to constantly tell her that he only wanted her and not Sheri. And that she was better and prettier that Sheri. Sounds to me like Sheri’s “best friend” was actually jealous of her and just wanted to take her husband because she could. That’s probably why she was so happy to do those interviews because she got the shine on her and she was able to brag about how Chris chose her over Sheri. I hope they both live miserably.
I was really hoping she would be charged w something. Matter of fact , I wouldnt be surprised that she was part of the plan because she seemed WAYYY to nonchalant about the whole thing. You'd think she'd be absolutely HORRIFIED that her married boyfriend literally freaking murdered his wife and two small CHILDREN and would be absolutely disgusted w him and not want ANYTHING to do with him anymore. Any normal nonsociopathic person would feel that way! So she's either a complete sicko who truly does t care about the fact that guy killed two innocent children and his innocent wife for HER and that it actually strokes her sad little ego ...OR....she was in on the whole thing and should be in jail.
@@luxbrumalis823 or all of the above. She definitely should’ve been investigated more. I have to believe that karma will get her.
@@jayl0v3ly same. I almost hate her worse than Chris. A whole lot of cold hearted trash bags in this case. It's astounding how many terrible people surrounded Sheri and her babies.
Very well said 👏. I agree too.
My gut feeling has been confirmed. Tara is NPD hooked up with psychopath Chris. Wouldn't surprise me if she came up with the murder solution.
His mistress had to have known the plan. That’s why she’s so nonchalant. Does that guilt not weigh on her?!. I thought this was Tara’s friend. She isn’t even mourning the loss of her friend and 2 innocent boys. I can’t wait for her day of judgement. And the parents?! Going on TV and victim blaming poor Tara. I wonder what the wife thought when she found out her husband had x rates photos of their son’s mistress?! The nerve of these ppl. They all are horrible
Tara is the mistress btw not the dead wife.
In both cases, the neighbor’s security cameras played a huge role
Oh my gosh that is so true!
I am sometimes so glad to have nosy neighbors!! I know if I am ever in trouble, Mrs A and Mrs K know whose balls to bust!! Not that they would save me though.....maybe not so helpful afterall but you know what I mean.
@@ananyaneralla5382 if they are anything like my nosey neighbours they wouldn’t save me but would help the police as it makes them look good lol
@@littleshopofeldritchhorror6224 same👀
this is one reason i have a camera (not for my house, but for my neighbors)
I always feel so bad for the neghbor when it comes to this case. I can’t imagine how angry he must have been when he realized that Chris did this, and then decided to traumatize him by making him part of it. Not only did he send him over there to find the bodies, but It had to be hard for him to then have to break the news to Chris, only to find out that it was all part of his sick plan.
The neighbor, Justin Barlow, was a detective with the CPD. He is the grandson of a police chief (Dupo, Illinois), and has devoted his life to law enforcement. I know people who knew him well when he worked in Columbia, and he was really well respected there. He said later that this case affected him more than any other he ever worked on. He said when they entered the house and found three dead bodies, he felt the presence of Satan in the house.
Ya, and talking about having KIDS with him!!! How fn crazy is that?!
The fact that both wives names start with “S” is also chilling. Sheri and Shannan. May they along with their beautiful children RIP. And I hope that both Chris’ never get released from prison!!
Trust me he won't sad his stupid mistakes killed his family ugh.
Plus the fact both Chris's parents tried blaming the wives for being MURDERED & AFFAIRS. . .and even more disgusting not giving two damns their sons killed their grandbabies . . .they all are just gross 🤢
During that interview, his mom definitely almost said “she was just a little blonde headed BIMBO” but caught herself and said girl instead.
It almost sounded like she was gonna say bitch, either way I’m not impressed by the way the mother carries herself
All the while she raised a psychopath. She gives me Karen vibes.
@@cuntress5902 I agree she was totally going to say bitch. I have this kind of mother in law and theirs nothing the love more then talking poorly / making up stuff about others but will instantly become a rabid animal when someone speaks the truth or has opinion on them that is bad. So, she was sure to bite her tongue to save her reputation but it was really hard bc, again, they adore talking nasty about others.
I thought exactly the same. The word Bimbo almost exploded from her. Ahh, these A-hole so called Christians who also function as pastors.
It was definitely something derogatory whatever it was, they are all so evil
It's not just the fact that Tara knew Chris murdered his wife; it's that they were friends in high-school! I mean he'd murdered her old friend. Besides merely having an affair.
"Everybody hates Chris" has a whole new meaning to me these days.
😂😂😂

I feel sorry for all the nice guys called Chris lol, it’s a bit like all the nice women called Karen
@@littleshopofeldritchhorror6224 my husband’s name is Christian, and his family calls him Chris for short.

I heard a story once that involved a child named “Malcolm”, and I asked myself, man why are they putting Malcolm in the Middle?
Poor Sheri. She was surrounded with people who had absolutely no morals or care about others. Her brother apparently stole money donated to the family after their deaths too. Rest In Peace
I'm so glad that you mentioned Tara's weird response to her work calling! She comes off as if she is excited to be a part of something...anything..with zero appreciation of how awful and tragic the situation that she is "right on the middle of" is. It's absolutely disgusting! I think you hit the nail on the head when you said she was almost proud. Chris, Tara and both of his parents are just despicable! Shame of all of them! I hope Sherry and her beautiful children are at peace. This is so sad.💔
Tara is the DEFINITION of a narcissist!! Straight up and down. Sociopaths aint got shite on a narcissist.
I thought Chris Watts mistress Nicole was bad. But Tara takes the cake. I had doubts Nicole knew anything about Watts plan but I Tara did NOT seem to be surprised at all. Everyone hated Amber Fry but she didn't even know he was married AND she helped the police get information.
I felt Tara was desperate for attention then. All of her behaviour seems to be for attention and validation
@@pskcnshplape Yes! I agree 100% with that.
So wild to see this case covered by you! I’ve never seen someone cover this one and I never thought I would. I grew up in Columbia, Illinois where this happened. I was only 2 years older than the eldest son and though they went to a different school, several of my friends were close with the boys. I remember the day it happened at school we were only informed something big and very serious had happened that has shaken the community and that our parents could tell us more when we got home. I even remembering briefly fearing it could happened to any of us when I heard the news. And it really is such a lovely town, very very quiet and low crime so it was a SHOCK. All the little league teams in our town that year put Garrett and Gavin’s initials on the sleeves of our uniforms as they had both been apart of it.
Thank you so much for the coverage of this one, even I learned so much more than before. There’s a really poorly done book about it that completely misrepresents the town and the people that live there but this was just perfect. Thank you so much!
Having grown up in North Carolina and forced to go to church as a child, I have a deep distrust of people who wear their religion on their sleeve. Typically, I still avoid those people whenever possible. I moved back to Charlotte when I got out of the US Army (I was stationed at Fort Bragg so not really a big geographic change) and followed this case as it happened. It was big news here perhaps because we're like a traditional market for charlatans like Joyce Meyers (do recall the Jim and Tammy Fay Baker dumpster fire; that was here).
Whew Chris mom is the most textbook example of a Karen I've ever seen. And the father is a crazy person! I'm not shocked he turned out the way he did with these two winners for parents.
Exactly like Chris watt's mother!
The similarities are kind of spooky. The other Chris's mother was a malignant Karen too.
Yep daddio is frequently checking his sons girlfriend pictures..yuck

100% she has! A lot of them have been ones I haven't heard of and I also watch a ton of true crime. Love her
+200th well deserved 👍
Danielle is truly one of a kind! I really appreciate her compassion towards victims, as well as the outrage at injustice.
This all went on in my town, and I really don't know how she even gets this information! I have tried to find anything I can about this case!! She is truly so good at what she does.
@@sarahsouthworth274 It's called diligence and research; but, she repeatedly says Chris "excels in everything", then ends on "he whines and cries because he never could get his way". Yes, he lost in court, but never getting his way was not a problem for a while.
When Chris’ father said it was basically Sheri’s fault for the affair- my head could’ve lifted off my neck into outer space from my blood pressure exploding my heart!!!!! Are you kidding me?!?!? What planet did Chris, his parents, & his mistress come from? Seriously-OMG!
FOREAL . They making me so fkn mad And chris's dad is a pastor but saying its Sheri's Fault ??? Ok so I guess they son is jus perfect its craziness 😒😒😒.
That really makes me angry too. Oh how I wish the interviewer asked Chris father “why the police found Tara’s naked photos on your computer?” Haaa, I just wish to see his face and his wife 😡
@@riofrancisco2562 Ugh he's such a creep, no wonder his son also came out so nasty
@@liyre4189 I agree. They are the types of people that are self-righteous hypocrites.
Well, he’s a pastor. They see women as beneath them. Many pastors believe women are property and not people.
This shook our area. They were a friends of our family friends type deal and when I heard what happened I was crazy upset!!! As anyone would be, but when someone runs in similar circles does something like this it makes you question a lot. I come from a Christian family but he and his parents were definitely not living a Christ-like example in their behaviors. It happened literally 20 minutes from our home and it was unbelievable at first. Side note: Chester and Chicago are a little over 6 hours apart in Illinois :-)
So, was Chris’ mom not doing her “wifely duties” and that makes it ok for her husband to have explicit photos of his SON’S GF?! The mental gymnastics are astounding.
Omg the coincidences between the two Chris's gave me chills
I’m surprised his last name isn’t Peterson!
This case has many similarities to all these guys with the last name Peterson.
@@TaraConti Literally so many Peterson men
Me too and wasn't Chris watts dad called Ron too?
Its really creepy. I confused both of the cases . i thought they were the same
RIGHT like what in thee actual fck!
Oh god, Tara knew about the murders. If I were dating someone and they murdered three people, two of them children (worse, HIS OWN children!), and I was informed of it I would be HORRIFIED! Then again, I'd never date someone who's already married to someone else, but yeah I'd be horrified. She totally knew he was gonna do it!
Everytime I hear "wifely duties," a piece of my soul leaves my body and ascends to a higher plane out of solidarity with my sisters before me who had to hear it, had to abide by it, or who were punished for it.
Like last I checked, it's the 21st century?!

@@chancecarlton8403 all I said was we are not objects. Where did not meeting our partners needs come from? It also goes both ways btw
Chris’ mistress pisses me off so bad with how giddy she was when she got that text from Chris while she was talking with the detectives. I absolutely despise her behavior and I hope like hell she gets what she deserves!😡
I absolutely LOVE the phrase “fallen pregnant “. It’s sooo accurate! I will no longer say it any other way!!!
youre a mor on then, no one falls pregnant, its the result f a deliberate act, its not catching a cold fool
Exactly like Watts´mistress... mighty proud that a man would kill to be with them
I always wonder what goes on in their heads😐like clearly they can do the same thing to you☠
This woman is worse. She KNEW what she was doing in destroying the lives of her "best friend" and the children. She instigated this relationship and was proud to have betrayed Sheri. Nichole Kessinger was horrendous, but Tara is her on steroids. There's no separation Tara could claim. Sheri and the boys were on a family level with her. It's despicable.
I really think they both planned it. But she got away with it. The thing is there's everything so similar in both cases. I was mad when she was reffered as "best friend"
How can a woman be with a man who killed his own children? Sick
Takes the phrase "is kill for you" to a whole new level.
I am Christian and let me just say that Chris' dad's reaction to his son's affair is absolutely disgusting and definitely not biblical in the slightest. No, Christians are not perfect. Yes, pastors are regular people like everyone else, but for him to make excuses like that for his son's behavior is wrong on so many levels.
Bingo
And, sharing explicit pictures of his side piece with his dad, a preacher? The height of hypocrisy and WEIRD!
Well said 👏🏽
100% agree. Loving your wife as Christ loved the church is a commandment to love her passionately and devotedly enough to give your life for her. To protect her. To cherish and respect her. Not to have an affair because she's not having sex with you. This isn't Christianity, this is self worshiping narcissism.
The Ten Commandments definitely mention adultery and covetousness and, oh yeah, murder. They do not mention "putting out" for your husband.
Yes. It IS important to remember that he’s a pastor. Because these are BASE beliefs in Christianity. Wives are to “submit” to their husbands. Follow their “lead.” Puke.
It doesn’t matter if they’re Ill-equipped to lead. It doesn’t matter if he’s abusive or mentally ill or a terrible father.
Listen, I spent 30 years in the church. I respect individuals who deserve respect, regardless of religious beliefs.
But calling oneself a Christian doesn’t automatically make you a decent human deserving of respect on its own. 🤷♀️
I was just about to post about their views on women. It makes me sick
@@danielledaniel1900 it makes me sick, too. I’m still in shock that it took me so long to get out from under that shit.
I realize that there are more progressive Christians out there, but that’s a whole other Oprah episode. And those aren’t the ones with all the power and influence in our government. It’s there frightening ones who rule the world.
@@BohoStitcher for me some of the teaching felt wrong. So couldn't get behind it.
@@danielledaniel1900 I was raised in it so I just didn’t know any better. It’s amazing the things you don’t know when you’re kept in a bubble. This is why you’re not allowed to be on the internet in Scientology.
@@BohoStitcher I grew up in it too. As a kid I went a Christian school. As adult I realize it was cult like
I worked in a coal mine in Southern Illinois when this case was going on or was still fresh. There was another person there who had the same last name as Chris here and we pointed that out to him. He, unbothered, just says "oh yea, that's my cousin. I always thought he was off." And left it at that. He seemed like an OK guy himself. Just threw us because we didn't realize there would be an actual connection there.
Love your opinions, personality, all of the research you put into these videos, and of course your makeup skills! You're awesome!
Does Chris's parents give anyone else Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar vibes? The wife should be at all times "joyfully available". Ok where did that get Josh?
1000% Duggar vibes. sexsist victim blaming, not holding their son accountable, and putting on a good front when they are not good people. I can almost understand wanting to defend their son...but these boys were THEIR grandsons! They are their blood too!
Well, a common quoted part of the bible IS “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything”, so…debates around what “submitting” means aside, are we surprised these people who let their organized religion be the #1 ruler of their lives thought this way?
To clarify, I don’t believe religion itself is inherently harmful, but ORGANIZED religion is never immune to the desires of humans who want power and end up abusing said power to keep themselves on top, so…long story short: if their is a power hierarchy in an organized religious group - a religion that ALREADY centres around worshipping another otherworldly being - then there are going to be problems.
@@izstrella agreed 💯
@@izstrella completely agree, it's living by the old law and forgetting that salvation saved that, but a common issue we see in these cases is where the parents are living as if we are in the old periods and if you break any these religious teachings then they abuse their kids which is so wrong.
@@Ninjaair64 • A good way to put it, yeah!
So his wife wasn’t picking up and he was “worried” but he would not leave the gym to check in on them so he calls a neighbour? That shows a lot.
Yep, he needed someone else to find there bodies
Ok, he thought Joyce Meyers would fire him for getting a divorce but she hadn’t fired him for bringing his MISTRESS on work trips????! Puleasse!
Joyce Meyer admitted in her depositions that he would have been fired for divorcing his wife if he had initiated the divorce. She claimed that she wasn’t aware of the affair or he would have been fired for that.
@@Cheryl_in_TX yea id say that's true...definitely not..meyers knew exactly what was going on ..when she was being interviewed by the police she was looking through the officer not at him ..she's a total hypocrite
@@dianekeegan5250 Agree 💯! Joyce is a complete and total pile of absolute shit.
@@Cheryl_in_TX thank god someone agrees with me about her
Lol I highly doubt Joyce Meyers was aware. Pretty sure she has plenty of other things to focus on and doesn’t watch her bodyguard to see if he has someone in his room.
Chris’s “religious” parents are a great example of why I turned my back on organized religion! In my 60 years, I have seen an extraordinary number of “religious” men and women commit the most heinous crimes and then, try to hide behind their “faith!” I’m a retired Federal Probation and Parole officer and worked before that for a District Attorney as a Victim-Witness Coordinator. We had two Deacons of churches in my home town murder their wives (to be with mistresses) because they did not want to go through a divorce as the “Church” would not approve! One of these murders occurred just 3 blocks from my own home. It’s horrifying the violence that people will do because of/in the name of religion. I will never, ever step foot in a church again and I run far and fast away from “religious” people. I live my life trying to be a kind, charitable person. I just don’t think most “religions” encourage kindness, forgiveness, inclusiveness, love, and compassion anymore! Being religious does NOT make you a good person! Just the opposite, in lots of cases, is my experience! Chris and his parents are the perfect despicable examples of evil people hiding behind their fake pious personas. It’s hard to believe anyone in their right mind would attend a church that these two people “preach” at! Naked pics of his married sons’ girlfriend on his computer?? Disgusting human beings, he and his “Karen” wife! There’s a special place in hell for all 3 of them (as well as Tara, who is completely trashy in EVERY respect). Let’s stop listening to preachers and just be nice and respectful to each other, regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender, etc. At this point, I feel like organized religion is ruining this country! It has certainly been the catalyst for many a horrific crime I have personally had the misfortune of having to deal with.
I bet they all think they're going to heaven too, haha.
So I just found your channel like 3 days ago. I’ve been binge watching!!! First, every episode, yes I said episode is amazing. True crime with makeup… freaking awesome!!! Second, I love how your nails match your eyeshadow… I’m like this girl - love her. Finally, I had no idea about this guy. It is most definitely Chris Watts down to the core. Keep up all the great vids. You rock!!!
The entitlement Chris and his father display I swear. If you want to be “respected” (To put the kind of spin they want on it, I’m feeling generous today), *be a person worthy of respect*. And this means knowing even having it earns you nothing. Good people treat their loved ones well and pressure them into nothing you “men of God.”
I worked with Tara for about 3 or so years and I came across this case a couple of years ago while I was already working with her and boy, I was completely floored. And to answer your question about her on the phone with her work/interview room, she really is just like that. She speaks very blunt and she kinda just says whatever she wants. A lot of our co-workers including myself didn't really enjoy her company.
Did she stick by him after his conviction?
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 no, she's married and has had kids
@@miasouk5173 Woh that's so crazy, I can't believe someone else married her, so sad.
@@miasouk5173 I have to wonder if her current husband knows about all of this?
Mmm, that's true, depending on how the case was; I feel like he would have remembered her.
Sheri and Garrett and Gavin all looked like beautiful souls and I only hope they’re at peace. Same for their families. They didn’t deserve any of this.
I remember this case! Love to get Danielle’s perspective on it though. She’s so great at getting details, and breaking everything down. ❤
Love and Prayers to Sheri’s family!!! May Sheri and the two boys get justice in Heaven… RIP!
the fact that chris was sharing the pics of tara with his dad means his mom wasn't performing her "wifely duties", right?
Lol 😂
Bingo 🔨
Bet his wife has stepped up her game 🤣
This happened 20 minutes from my house, and the Coleman’s were neighbors with one of my best friends. It was such a heartbreaking time for our community. Thank you for bringing attention to the case. ❤️
So did Tara end up standing by her man? A prison wedding perhaps?
Its a bit weird how the police didnt think to check the IP address of the emails sooner..? This would have 100% prevented these murders.
Right! It’s insane he even filed a case on it but it comes to some police negligence. It was a genuine death threat! So often police have ignored an explicit warning that death is coming.
Right?
Cops always say, ( We can’t help unless u get evidence ) Well here u go , This is in all abuse n murder cases, After that they react , Basically they act when someone dead,in this n many other cases ????
I had heard of this case, but I hadn't dug deeply into the family. I think we're seeing a cluster of narcissism, mistress including. Obviously I can't diagnose someone I've never treated, I can only speculate. Narcissistic parents have a high probability of raising narcissistic children. There are definite red flags that point to cluster b personality types in this case. Remember, all psychopaths (antisocial personality disorder) are narcissists, but not all narcissists are psychopaths.
“ she wears short shorts and has tattoos on her legs “ - lol same and I spend my days making things to sell, looking after my mum and watching vids like this to keep me entertained. Probably speak to about 3 people a week other than my mum ( usually shop workers) 🤣- I am literally such a rebellious person you carnt stop me causing havoc with my tattood legs
This case is devastating. Tara obviously has no shame being the other women & it’s actually disgusting
the parents are the same type of people who say aboration is inhumane and disgusting then tell their sons gf to get rid of it 😂
Oh heavens that makes me so mad. There have been many cases similar to that, its like they don't even care about the gf or what she's going through.
abortion?
My mom is super anti-abortion and even took me to anti-abortion marches as a kid. That didn't stop her from taking our dog to get an abortion, because puppies would be inconvenient.
@@someonerandom256 That’s sick. I’m pro-life and that includes animals!! Those poor puppies :( The only way I can see and understand abortion is if carrying the baby would kill or severely disable the mother (like, in a life or death situation where you have to pick the mom or the baby/babies- obviously pick the mom). But to abort puppies because she doesn’t want to care for them? That’s gross and awful
Oh hun...they all do that.. then go straight back and harass other women needing help.
See, only their abortion is just.
Now Chris is performing "wifely duties" for his fellow inmates.
Omg I just had to comment on how pretty you are!!
Really hope so!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best comment lmao
Hopefully!
I watched this on 60 minutes back in like 2012 and I was also attending a Megachurch at the time where they kept changing their mind on Joyce Myers. (I'm also from Illinois btw) I had no idea how much else bs was going on. That said, stopped going to that Megachurch and while they've been under fire since like 2017 (should've been sooner) they didn't give victims the justice they deserved either. Its so hard to find a not corrupt church here ugh 😑 Poor Sheri and the boys. They did not deserve any of this. I also hope his parents lost any respect in their community.
I watch your videos basically all day everyday and I’m not looking forward to the day that I’ve seen every video and I have to find something else.
I actually watch them throughout my work day and then I come home and watch more and have my earbuds in so my family doesn’t have to hear the gruesome details (I’m also autistic so I constantly have something like a video or music on) but I don’t normally wear headphones or earbuds so whenever I am they know I’m watching your videos. One day my grandma came over and was like “what’s she watching?” And they instantly said “most likely Danielle Kirsty”
6 minutes in and Sherry seems like so cute and kind just from the photos of her... it deeply sickens me how nasty hardcore religious folks can be and the fact that people choose the side of evil for what seems like... no reason!
40:01 I think that the Chris Watts case also blew up more than this one because it started as a missing persons case and Chris did so many public appeals with his tears of crocodile. Not to mention the horrible way he disposed of their bodies as well.
And Dany, you forgot to say that in both cases, their parents didn't like his sons' girlfriends. Other sad similarity. Great job!
I think this is an important link. I think their parents made them feel like they deserve the perfect woman so any time they didn’t get exactly what they wanted, they thought it was their partners fault cause they could do no wrong. The entitlement is strong cause their parents made them think they were a gift from God. The ick is so icky I’m icked out
@@TheRealLucyMae so crazy how they expected her to be perfect when her son was so not perfect so sad how his stupid decisions killed his family ugh always the innocent 😔 the innocent ones who suffer.
@@2000firegirl This is why parents should always remember that it’s not your job to be liked, it’s your job to make sure your kids are decent people. I would say that entitlement had a big role in both cases. Poor innocent paid the price and it’s sickening
I've seen the one on A&E . You YOU BLEW THEIR VERSION AWAY AND REALLY OUT DO YOURSELF WITH YOUR RESEARCH AND PRESENTATION!!! NICE WORK!!! ROSS
this also reminds me of the scott peterson case, with the parents treating their son like he's perfect and can do no wrong, and if he did, it wasn't his fault
i know everyone has different reactions to grief but to *not even ask questions* just shows he already knows what happened
chris watts showed more emotions than this guy!
The fact that all of this could’ve been avoided by a simple divorce
Some Christians don't believe in divorce. He may have thought if he got divorced ot would be sinful. But in his mind murder is ok.
I agree. It baffles me he thought this was the only way out of the relationship
Joyce Meyer doesn't allow her employees to divorce, they'd lose their job.
Which is SO hypocritical as she was divorced once!
I hope after this happened, she changed that policy since it led to 3 lives ending!
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 I agree I just wish his head went to divorce and he lost his job so he didn’t have to hurt his children and wife and her family, his parents didn’t seem to care that much
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 well in the video she says it would depend, but the fact he was divorcing her to be with someone he had been having an affair with…he would have lost his job
OMG I love her nail polish!!! is really pretty, I love how she matches her eye makeup with her nails and she lists the nail polish as a product she uses in every video!!!
After following the Watts case for so long I decided to do my research on the Coleman case as I never followed it. How happy I am to come across your channel. You described this case brilliantly while showing me a new color scheme for my eyes!!! Subscribing ❤️
Omg the similarities to the CW case is CRAZY!!!! Right down to the way both Chris's parents treated both Sherri and Shannan. Neither set of grandparents seemed to care that their beautiful grandbabies were gone... Sick and very sad
What’s crazy to me is how he did the BARE MINIMUM to hide the murder. He might as well have tried to stage it as a “robbery gone wrong.” Like he clearly is so narcissistic he just assumed the police would believe everything he said and, when they didn’t, he’s over here trying to gaslight the…science? Did he not know they would look through his computer? Did he not realize the detective would check the cctv footage of a camera that the DETECTIVE pointed at their house? Absolutely bizarre
I suspect that detective didn't tell him he pointed the camera at his house.
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 didnt he ask him to though? to see if anyone left another letter? he wasnt the brightest spark really..
@@lucyw.7597 i think of you were anywhere close to bright you wouldn’t attempt to murder someone and think you could get away with it! he did t even get rid of the receipt for the “apple red” spray paint. smh
Cops: There were naked pictures of you on his Dad's computer.
Tara: Wait, what.
(Girl, I don't even feel bad for you. You give a rats behind that this man killed his wife and kids to be with you.)
Also, when women that are in this situation find out that the man they were having an affair with killed their wife and children do they *really* think that it won't happen to them too? What's going to happen chicca when he gets bored of you?
Oh my gosh, right?
He murdered his wife and kids.
Tara: “oh yea, we was screwing. I sent him lots of nudes to keep his attention on me.”
Cop: “his dad had some.”
Tara: “What?! That is so wrong and offensive. How dare he do that?”
It’s so clear that dearest dad was in it , if u want my son u gotta want me to,Chris is like u Have to get my Dads Authority,send him nude photos ( LOL )
Narcissistic parents raise narcissists, same in Casey Anthony's case, and many, many others. These monsters are created. A child who "can do no wrong" while being held to impossible standard by a controlling parent at the same time, quickly learns that to do no wrong, he has only to pretend that he did no wrong.
P.S. He did not murder his lovely wife and kids because he feared that divorce would cost him his job. He murdered her because of narcissistic rage, and narcissistic discard, all precipitated by his wife knowing that he was not the man he pretended to be, and therefore in his mind, he lost control over her and she became an enemy to be destroyed, and children became an enemy by proxy. I was married to a narcissist for over a decade, and it was a miracle he did not manage to kill me; unfortunately, for many women, the story doesn't end the same way.
wow, your p.s explanation blows my mind. thanks for adding this knowledge. 💚
I was with at least 3 controlling, jealous, abusive men, it took me over 10 years to learn I deserved better. One of them slept around, after I left he got in a relationship with the woman he was cheating on me with, had a child and proceeded to sleep around again. For over 18 months I would get over 30 calls a day a few times a week, he was cheating and she was calling and saying nothing, she thought he was with me. He tried to get back with me after a few years, he was showing off with his abusive behaviour towards his partner and her mom (somehow he thought that would impress me) and confirmed where the harassment was coming from, I told him unless they both stopped contacting me I'd go straight to the police. And then I HAD PIECE AND QUIET.
Interesting her behavior and body language from the interrogation was mentioned and how drastically it changed when she was asked more about the murders. A cluster of abnormal behaviors can mean that someone is being deceitful!
Someone in our town murdered his kids “for love”. He drowned his kids and said he was napping when they got out.
He got out of jail this year :( he was in for 15 I think.
I came across this channel a week ago- and girl, I've inhaled all your true crime videos in one breath :D. Your voice is so pleasant to listen to, as well as the way you're telling the stories themselves. More people should know about this channel. Keep it up
What kind of person would plan to have children with a partner who literally killed their other children? That is Greek tragedy-level stupid.
Also, anyone else think she wasn’t surprised her nude photos were on the father’s computer? I think she got off on it. What a sicko.
@@shannonshark84 I would not doubt it.
The most disturbing part was him texting his mistress at his wife and children's funeral! So heartbreaking. What an evil man!
I have somehow watched all 53 of your True Crime & Makeup videos in one week 😂 I am so excited for more!!
I remember seeing this case on Dateline, years ago. Idk about privilege OR ( & I'm guessing on this next part based on his parents beliefs,him not believing in divorce-or being fearful he would loose his job over it, & his work w/ Joyce Myers) the type of strict Southern Baptist upbringing I suspect he had ( ie:see my prior far too long reasons I believe this was his upbringing). I can relate to the stress of bringing home someone who wasn't of the same faith or heaven forbid- no faith at all- that was a sin of paramount consequences. Regardless of all that, as a parent, @ some point you have to pull the cloak from your in front of your eyes so you can CLEARLY see your kid for who they REALLY are, if that doesn't work, they need to put on some glasses!! What really chapped my khakis was the creepy dad having pictures of Chris's mistress, Tara, in "compromising" positions. What a perv. And he calls himself a married MAN OF GOD. It's crap like this that give people of REAL FAITH a BAD name- cause truthfully, if he's looking @ "compromising" pics ( =naked pics ) of his SONS MISTRESS, this ain't his first rodeo( sorry, my southern roots are coming out-can't help it... this case PISSES ME OFF). His judg-ey, wife stayed w/ him b/c I'm sure he made her feel crazy and said he only had the pics b/c she wasn't performing HER wifely duties, so he needed something to keep him from straying... this is some sick 🤢mess! And the more I think about Tara's reaction when they told her,her lover was sending her explicit photos to his pastor father for his viewing pleasure ( the mental images that gives me just literally make me feel gross, disgusted, nauseated 🤢🤢). She just shrugged & said " idk anything about that." I would've been furious. But even worse, she obviously didn't care about her"best friend" to begin w/ as she had been traveling the world w/ her husband, wearing his "promise ring"-how middle school of him 😬, picking out baby names, & she had no emotion AT ALL about her BEST FRIEND, & 2 beautiful precious boys who were truly the innocents in all of this- no emotion at all when she was talking to detectives about their murder. NOT A DROP OF EMOTION. Instead, she was PROUD. Its like He was living 2 completely separate lives & wanted trade in his family for a new one- new kids, new wife. And she was happy to comply. I am CONVINCED that she was 100% involved w/ helping him plan this murder( even the fake email account, the death threats blah blah)... I don't they were smart at all- He knew the camera was aimed at his door so he couldn't have thought that thru- for the plan to work, they needed to make sure someone was caught going in or out of that house close to the time of death( duh) and the receipt for the spray paint - again ( Duh- a detectives dream). I don't think she killed them, but for her... they'd still be alive. And you mentioned him showing signs of being a psychopath- I think we have more than 1 in this case w/ the mistress absolutely being a close 2nd to Chris.
This happened right down the street from where I live. The house where this happened is still there, and it gives me chills. RIP to Sheri, Gavin and Garett. They did not deserve this at all💜

Disconnected from reality.
So with the stability that being a bodyguard may bring: instead of relocating every few months, they could remain in their place while Chris traveled for a few weeks to a month. In the military you may change bases across the country or the world. Toting along a family every transfer would be very difficult.
Chris and Tara are perfect for each other: they're 🗑 🚮.
Also a pastor excusing adultery? He needs to read the ten commandments again. Omg as I was typing this, you said his dad had been sent x-rated pics of Tara by Chris. 🤢
He'd rather kill his family than be fired??? As though murder isn't the worst sin?
I'm so gobsmacked at how he was incredibly academic and excelled at his work but yet did so abysmally at covering the murder!
I know. He’s the dumbest criminal ever. That pillow excuse was so bad, I wanted him to get extra time in jail just for that alone.
@@alexrose8299 I totally agree hun!! On top of all the other charges it should also include something about that pillow.... just shows the lack of empathy he has, can't even be bothered to think of a decent excuse. My two year old doesn't even have excuses as bad as that 😂

Hi Danielle! I really find your videos fascinating! Do you think that you will do a separate video on Chris Watts? I fell down the rabbit hole
(once again) with that case recently and I would really love to hear your take on it. It really is so very similar to this case which is very uncanny but I’m interested to hear what your opinions are on his parents and sister as well as his previous mistress since we have so much footage to look at.
Coleman lived in Columbia, IL, right across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, MO, my hometown. I knew he was the murderer as soon as they tracked his cell phone movements. Instead of crossing the JB Bridge from St. Louis and veering right into Columbia, he went left into Dupo, Illinois and drove around for five minutes or so before going home. He wanted the police to arrive at his home for their "wellness check" before he himself arrived. When he did arrive, Justin Barlow and the other 2 police officers had already discovered the three dead bodies in the house. I attended many days of that trial, and the hatred between the families is that courtroom was so heavy you could feel it in the air. When he was convicted, the cheering outside the courthouse in Waterloo was wild. BTW, Coleman's mother showing up in a wheelchair was just a bid for sympathy. The woman could walk with no trouble.
I'm just starting to watch and I'm already getting an Entwistle vibe about his parents.
Their precious baby boy couldn't possibly do anything wrong, especially considering he's with a heathen, so surely it must be her. He'd never hurt a fly 🙄
Edit after watching: I love how he's so worried about the stigma that divorce would have on his job, so he decides that murder is the better way to go. I think I remember watching a documentary on this case ages ago and the lady he worked for was informed of his thinking, that he would lose his job if he got divorced and all of that, and if I remember it right, she actually said that wouldn't have happened. She said that they don't encourage people to get divorced, but it happens, so she would have just worked it out with him. I think she meant it as she would be there to counsel him, or his wife, if it was necessary, but his job was secure, so he killed them for absolutely no reason.
Lemme just grab my drink and get comfy for this one. Danielle gonna be sassy~

Right?! I love Sassy Danielle
"Just to warn you, sassy Danielle is gonna be coming out in this video"
Me: *DROPS EVERYTHING* 👀😲☕
Love sassy Danielle lol. Well I all sides of her but especially the sassy side and her rants.
Part of me wishes Danielle would interview these crazy people and their family's but I'm pretty sure "Sassy Danielle" would make an appearance and she'd get fired for losing her cool.
those emojis are perfect
You are my fav crime story teller or whatever you call it lol. You speak clearly and don’t have overly bad dramatic acting that other TH-camrs have. Also I find watching your makeup routine therapeutic 😂😂.
Danielle - the reason I just LOVE your channel is because of the way you go about giving us these true crime stories. I feel like I'm talking to a friend and you're telling me these interesting true crime stories. I get so lonely sometimes and I just put on one of your videos and it makes me feel like I'm with a friend. So thank you!!
Regarding this case - I've NEVER cared for this particular televangelist - and that's DEFINITELY putting it MILDLY!!! Imo - she is exactly like his parents - looking down her nose at everyone else as if she's not also merely human and is without flaw or sin herself.
And the mistress is nauseating. The way she acts so proud of being "in the middle of a high profile murder case". She is such a disgusting human being. Right up there with Chris. Sick.
P.S. - I ADORE "sassy Danielle".
After all of the events that unfolded, it makes me wonder why Tara would even want to be with, yet alone marry, someone who would murder his entire family? My days would be spent wondering if and when he would do the same to me if I was her.
I don’t think she’s fully right in the head. I would be way too afraid of anyone capable of killing their own kids
These cases are about the perpetrator resetting the game when they dont like how its going. Hitting reset means erasing everything that had been done in that game session, including the children. In this case religion facilitated to an already sociopathic mind the rationalization of their "erasing" as necessary evil to maintain order.
Oh that whiney voice. I bet that he learned when he was a little kid that that's the voice to use on his parents when he wants to get out of trouble and make it seem like he didn't do something that he absolutely did do, and it just never stopped working on his parents so now he thinks it'll work on the cops.
I love your videos so much, so well research and great story telling! Make up is fab too, I also love the attention to detail with the matching nail varnish every video 👌
I like the way you say your stories you don’t have like suspense music on your videos and I don’t get paranoid scared or have nightmares like with other TH-camrs who have the same content.
I’m only 12 mins in and I am already feeling my blood pressure rising! 🤯 How does leaving the military bc you want to have a more settled & less dangerous job now that you have a family, lead to becoming a personal bodyguard for a famous female religious leader, who is basically constantly “on tour “, so you’re rarely ever home, make sense? Not to mention the fact that religious events tend to cause a lot of controversy that puts them more at risk of being hurt. 🙄
So now he is never hardly home and his wife is having to take care of the kids, house, & everything else, all alone, without him. The little time he was around, to help, is the only time she has a chance to relax at all. By the time he gets back home she is probably 100% exhausted and has zero energy left for those“wifely duties “! Maybe if he did his “father & spouse duty” like he vowed to do, she would have the energy for more of that “wifely duty” he was whining about😬😵💫
Not to mention she probably already suspected him of cheating which is probably why she wasn't interested in sleeping with him.
Do you think he may have taken the job as a means to leave his wife and not have responsibility?
@@Ninjaair64 I don’t think so. I feel like his decision to get out of the Military was his original intention. I think his parents were behind him taking the bodyguard job. They thought he “deserved” a better wife, & she wasn’t good for their son. They want him to find someone else, and what better way to get him away from her and around the type of women they wanted him to marry, than get your famous friend, to hire him as her personal bodyguard where he is constantly around the kind of women they want, and keeps him away from the wife that they don’t like. They also likely knew how much stress this would put on her, trying to get her to leave him. Parents like his tend to be a huge part of the “what went wrong” problems that lead them these situations!
Meyers is not a religious leader. Absolutely 💯 not..how did you come to give her that title
