Do they know who responded to the BDSM ad? It sounds like the husband or Au Pair did to set up the wife but then the BDSM guy should have figured this out and known something was off.
I can't watch this since you're still having those two problematic podcasters on. 🙄. Time to find a more reputable channel covering this story. Court TV you guys seriously need to have better "experts" on as guests. You have the same problematic guests on here over and over again. It's very hard to take this channel seriously when you have such horrible "experts" on, half the time they don't even know the whole story 🙄.
No, no o
I believe she got in to his pants 👖 and he got in her dress 👗
She wanted the house 🏠 and the money 💰 I don’t buy just because she’s 22 years old she doesn’t know better … she came for the third world country ..
think about it?
She wanted everything
And he was a pervert, disgusting sick man.
He wanted a young woman
maybe she was willing to do everything with him in bed and the wife wasn’t 😡😡😡😡
In my opinion, she was the one with that idea to get rid of the wife
*A law enforcement officer didn’t know the importance of keeping nanny’s clothes in the spare bedroom and not having their pictures in main bedroom LOL*
He thought they were in the clear by that point.
Not too swift was he. 😂
It’s 2024 ppl still killing they wife/husband, and thinking they gonna get away with it..😂😂😂😂
Unbelievable right 😅🤷
@@nastaphantasia2895VERY‼️
There is something in the baby oil, food and drinks 😂
Right? This is the third case I’ve seen where the lovers tried to carry out the same plan… kill somebody and blaming the wife’s death on the first victim
@@jazzmaybach1044😂
Ladies...never bring a young, pretty woman into your home. Nannies need to be over fifty and chunky.
Even then you aren’t safe . 😂😂
OK!!! Lmao
Tell that to Maria Shriver
yeah - but in this case the mistress was far less beautiful than the wife. i just don't get it!
Preferably a hunchback with a hairy mole on her chin.
One thing my mother told me was never invite another woman into your home
How about don't marry a sleeze who is going to cheat? That is what I would tell my daughters.
Amen to that.
especially a sexy one on the hunt for a "husband" with money. It is just idiotic, and again, most tragedies start off with a bad decision
@@hardwired8084 and the idi0t thinks she was really interested in his wonderful personality… 🙄💴💰
Exactly!
I can’t believe they thought anyone would believe such a ridiculous story.
So what is the REAL story ? I'm guessing that one also sounds crazy.
I feel so bad for their little girl. I can't imagine what all of this will do to her.
This. 😢
Same. Poor kid. She probably loved even the au pair. She lost everyone.
Just get a divorce people. Lord
Too much drama, lol!
Money
That was a ridiculous cover up story. Not only are they murderers, they’re ignorant and foolish. Sidenote: everyday I’m reminded to stay single. Poor wife ❤😢
How can you call it ridiculous when we don't even know what the story is?
yeah I’m hearing you @QueenOfEverything69
We just heard her story ,a ridiculous one at that 🫣@@MarkG-h2y
AU PAIR my behind. They were together in this before hand. That poor lady and baby. This story is worse than we can imagine.
Sounds ALL planned, from the nanny day one
That happen when you steal someone’s husband, now she will be in prison forever.
'steal someone's husband' she was barely at legal age. Can you please blame the 39 year-old guy who brutally killed the mother of his little babygirl and who betrayed his vows? Not the female that was half his age? I mean cool, blame her, she certainly deserves that too, but please do not warp this in the narrative of "he was stolen" and "it's the witch that bewitched him, burn the witch" that is deeply sexist. That guy would have gone for another woman if it hadn't been her - he stabbed his babymom, his partner, that is incredibly evil.
You can't steal what willingly went. They're both disgusting. He was 38, and she was 24, a pretty gross age difference, but she was more than old enough to know fully that every single thing she was doing was absolutely wrong.
@@ena.takeoverdefinitely wasn't "half his age." he was 38, not 48. She wasn't "barely legal." she was 24, not 18
No one “steals” a man, unless you are a kidnapper. Disgusting men go willingly
He's a murderer who killed the mother of his 4yo child and people focus on the au pair, because she's 'hot'. That's depressing
Honestly .... as a women I would never trust another random woman in my home. Especially looking like that
Blaming an other women to destroy ones life,if they can't trust their husbands?
These two are not the fizziest drinks in the fridge, a real pair of balloon heads.
That woman was absolutely nuts to hire that young girl from Brazil...
Let me guess, her husband picked her out 😂
Right...my neighbor and I were just talking about this case. My neighbor has two littles and said there is no way she would hire someone like that au pair to live full time in her home.
Au Pairs are usually young women - her being from Brazil was irrelevant IMO.
The wife should have known,that getting a " hot " au pair can only lead to disaster !! Facts !!
Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger showed us that even homely looking helpers aren't off bounds 😂
That’s where my mind went.
It sounds like 2 innocent people were victims here Vinny.
Not Juliana if that’s what you’re heading. The two people? The guy who was framed and Christine that’s all.
Yes there are two innocent victims.
Thanks CourtTV and Vinnie as this is a brand new case to me
Ummm…one kid and you need an au pair? Someone…explain this to me.
@@rt8532 LMMFAO!! Well for starters.. the child was VERY well behaved says an anonymous source!!The nanny was obviously hired for the husband!! He is a bad bad boyyyyy and needs a spanking! 😂 -Also anonymous source
If the wife is working or planning on working this is not uncommon . Super common for Power Couples (which they were not ).
@@MarkG-h2y 😂😂😂
She was à nurse who worked full time
What is there to explain? It's pretty obvious. Did you not know nurses work long hours? That they tend to have pretty erratic schedules? I kinda thought most people knew that by this point. The dude was an IRS enforcement officer, which is, at minimum, full-time hours. And for young kids it's much easier on them to have someone caring for them while the parents are working by someone who's a constant in their lives and when your schedule isn't steady it's much easier to have someone who's living there, if you can afford it.
So sad that people can actually be this stupid
And vicious 😮😢
They always downgrade.
A blond nanny from Brazil. What could go wrong?
someone who is capable of murder, is capable of murder - let alone of the mom to your baby girl. If it hadn't been the au pair, it would have been a colleague, the first teacher etc. That guy is evil for doing this, even killing someone uninvolved in the process - hiring an other nanny would have certainly not prevented this guy from doing something one day.
These people are disgusting first blaming the victim for hiring the nanny then blaming the nanny for being 22 and from Brazil who lured the poor man into killing his wife --is it really 2024 ?
@@lms1190 thank you. Fully agree. He was almost twice her age, he broke his vows, he escalated this, he did one of the most horrific things he could to his own daughter. What is this "burn the witch" attitude? Sexism runs so deep in our vains appearently. Very happy you replied to me lms :)
No kidding. I’m sure hubby was the one who hired her.
Nothing at all could go wrong. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️What are people thinking when they make such decisions? Bringing a young pretty girl into your house and home. Really??? 😩
1) This guy is a law enforcement officer that doesn’t seem to know stuff that us true crime fanatics know lol 😂. Very sloppy work 😩🤣.
2) A law enforcement officer that doesn’t know that in 2024 you can’t get away with murder 😅🫢
Very sloppy and that's what he gets for messing with a 22 year old!
MY FAMILY LOVES YOU VINNY. GOOD VIDEO. Why go to a movie theater it's on court tv. lol
Oh please don’t be pathetic 🙄 why are you making dumb excuses for that woman? She was so young and impressionable?! Please, she had everything to gain! The possibility to stay in the U.S. married to a law enforcement officer with a nice life of course she had so much to gain! Do you guys not ever listen to news from Latin America? I grew up in Latin America and some women would do the craziest things when they felt entitled to another woman’s husband. I moved to the U.S. at 21 and if anything I knew I had to fend for myself because I had no one else in a country that wasn’t mine. I had to be careful with men more so than back in my birth country. My family would always tell me to be careful with serial killers as dumb as it sounds I was acutely aware that if I went out with the wrong guy I could end up dead and no one would ever know back home. So when you move to another country you have to be two steps ahead of everyone else, she wasn’t a 15 year old girl she knew she was being part of an affair happening at an innocent woman’s house and who probably was very nice to Juliana. It’s sick and Juliana is just as sick as Christine’s husband. Both need to be in prison for life.
She wasn’t from “Latin America”! Whatever that is! Brasil 🇧🇷 is in South America, and we speak Portuguese and are from Portugal culture, not Spanish nor Hispanic
Youre brave! And its great to have you here!
@@michellestlicitra9105 If the term "Latin" refers to the languages that had a base in the Latin root, Portuguese could be considered one of such languages...? But clearly, many of us don't realise that Brazillians don't speak Spanish and are fiercely independent culturally.
@@nimue4325 Yes, thank you! Brasilian cultures is of European root, being Portugal is in Europe. Brasil 🇧🇷 is the only country in South America that is not Hispanic and do not speak Spanish.
@@michellestlicitra9105ainda assim é um país latino americano, Michelle.
Getting a hot au pair when married is very fishy for starters !!! No doubt !!!
Compared to the wife? What a downgrade!
This is similar to the 1995 case of Mark Winger in Illinois. He set up a guy to look like he murdered his wife but the husband killed him and put the murder of the wife on him
Never trust an armed IRS agent....
There is a similar story when the husband set up a cab driver , killed him after killing his wife in their home.
Diabolical husband stories never end. Why don't they just divorce.
Yes, this plan isn't new. Wasn't there a guy in Vegas that set up a guy to come to his house and he shot his wife and shot the guy that came to house....
@@lms1190too much money, time etc
Yessss. I thought about that same case. They must’ve not seen that case and how it ended. 😑
I remember that case…
What happened to divorce???!!
Pretty obvious they set up that profile on the bdsm website and lured that guy there to be the scapegoat for murdering her. The wife had nothing to do with it I bet.
Attention women: It's naive to believe that any man can handle a younger woman with a hot accent living in your home. There are so many times that the husband falls for the aupair it's become a meme.
But realistically if your husband is like that your relationship likely has big problems.
@@MarkG-h2yi blame the nanny about 20% the rest goes to the so called “man”. 0️⃣ zero % goes to the trusting wife, mother, nurse, employer of this “hot” au pair. Let’s start placing the blame where it belongs here.
@@MarkG-h2yit's called temptation.
Wow! I will follow this case for sure!
Thank you Vinnie, great program!
When meeting someone from social media the first time, always meet in a public place like a coffee shop or bar.
@@MarkG-h2y good advice. But to be fair 90 per cent of homicides are carried out by those already known to the victim. It’s usually those around us that will harm us, not a stranger.
There's a case called the "First Date Murder" online... there's the tinder murderer, craigslist... it's easier for "them" to hunt when the site is like a bucket.
She didn't meet him.. The husband and au pair lured him there to be their scapegoat
@@watchmejumpstart24 The BDSM guy went to the house to meet her. Had the BDSM guy insisted on meeting in a public place, he would still be alive.
@@MarkG-h2y would you also say that had the wife not married her husband then she too would still be alive? We are largely harmed by those we know…
Them sending the 4 y.o. to the basement supports the idea of premeditation! Sux but true, something is very wrong there
Just watching Vinnie say bee dee ess emm is hilarious 😂
The second 911 call was THIRTEEN minutes later, not three. THIRTEEN. That is bad news for any defense.
A 21 year old Brazilian… I bet she had a far harder life in them 21 years and is hardened to it, she didn’t need manipulating, she loved his money!
I'm brazilian. It's not that bad as you think. She's just a greedy, selfish woman. A psycho.
Definitely, a lot of poverty there.
Definitely, a lot of poverty there...
WTH is wrong with people! So sad wife the little girl 😢❤️🙏
Christine must of been doolally to believe the beautiful young Brazilian wouldn't take the attention of her husband. Moved the girl in!!! Sometimes things happen for a reason 😂
I wonder really how Joseph knocked on the door, Cristine opens and they go directly to the bedroom. Astonishing. All in a matter of what? 10/15 minutes? This can't be true.
The husband and the housemaid planned all this. The 2 monsters set up the dating profile etc.
This is the Mark Alan Winger (born November 26, 1962) case all over again.
She worked as a nurse so they need to check when the messages to the website were made from Christines computer. She was probably at work
I hear husband & Au Pair than see that picture of the Au Pair & I’m not hiring her lol. I know it’s shallow but that’s where my mind goes. And yes he could have been having an affair with any women outside the house.
I've seen this play out before in south carolina he wanted the wife gone used the guy as a patsy.and she is to a witness to his defense
Why is an IRS agent living in a mansion and hiring au pairs? 🚩🚩🚩
She's not even close to cute. The wife was far more beautiful.
I will follow this case, very interesting.
To me, the saddest part is that the wife wholeheartedly supported and cheered for women immigrants. She wanted them to succeed and flourish in usa, and tried to make that happen for them. Sad. You cant rescue people.
It all went to rock when I saw the au pairs picture. I said this ain’t gonna work.
The au pair is full of lies. No au pair wants to drive to the National Zoo in DC. That would have been a red flag for me when the au pair suggested that. Au pairs are notoriously bad drivers in general and DC is hard to navigate. I hope she is enjoying her new host family, The Fairfax County Jail.
Dumb dumb dumb
Vinnie is awsome.
Why was the other dude at the defendants house so early in the morning? That's the real question
It was a sex date set up online.
The husband emailed him posing as his wife and arranged for him to meet there for BDSM.
@@MarkG-h2y At 7am or what? Really? That should have been the dude's tip-off that something wasn't right.
He was invited
This guy is a law enforcement officer that doesn’t seem to know stuff that is true crime fanatics know lol 😂. Very sloppy work 😩🤣
Sad the wonderful mum is dead and her kids have no parents
No matter how much you trust your husband never move another woman into your home. That means young and older alike, that means mother in laws. ESPECIALLY non American women. They have different morals different culture etc. Them wanting to take your husband for resources is normal in south America and eastern Europe. I have a MIL from eastern Europe. For years shes been trying to replace me with her own son. If you dont have time to take care of your own kid's don't have them. They could afford a nanny but she couldn't afford to he a stay at home mom?
This comment is so racist and patriarchal. This has nothing to do with the origin, nationality, race or culture of the au pair. There are so many cases in the US where American men and women have killed their children and spouses because of a woman or man eg: Chris Watts. Also, don't blame the women alone, blame the man as well for being so weak, lacking self control to keep his pants zipped. This was his wife, he made vows to protect her but he killed her. Also, it is not other women's fault that you are so weak and spineless that you can not put your MIL in her place, don't blame other women for your weakness.
Anerican’s woman also try to steal another women’s husband
Please stop blaming the wife. Honest question: what do you think would happen to the staffing rates of hospitals if we walked in and told all the “working moms” to go home and take care of their children? She was a pediatric emergency nurse. We kind of need those.
Americans women also steal married men all the time
@@HilaryDarnell Agreed.
The logical step would just be to get a divorce but no. This guy is such a dimwit. He had a great job and an awesome life and a beautiful child and he threw it all away for lust and greed!
Never hire an attractive maid/au pair.
I love me some Vinnie reporting on the facts of cases! Thank you Court TV
He could have just got a divorce! There has to be insurance money involved
This movie wrote itself.
Right. Poor guy Joseph, was set up I think
Did the Judge state 45 years without parole? Or just 45 years? Meaning he could be up for parole. Fancy his kids knowing their father was a murderer? Also Fancy his father being a doctor doing nothing? What a Doctor? To have a son as a killer. Hope his business goes down hill fast, because Davis family would not have as much money. Despicable, evil even Buds family cold as their son.
Hmm. Another case involving an extra-marital affair where the paramore-turned-publically-acknowledged-love-interest gets arrested first and spends time in jail while the widower walks free … though not for long. The old saying that love is blind should be amended to “Lust is blind … and stupid”.
He does not have a prior conviction is because he most probably did not get caught wonder if he was committing DV on his wife which we would not know about because the wife most probably did not call the police like she did not when he was stalking her.
Looks interesting!!
Already knew where this was going as soon as I saw the picture of the Au Pair (nanny).
Absolutely devastating that you could take your wife out like that and take out the the only witness.
Are people getting dumber. Bruh you are not going to get away with murder. Divorce if you don’t want to be with your partner.
Now the 4 year old baby girl has no parents disgusting.
Hi Vinnie from England 🏴
Everything was normal until theygot an au-pair.
I love your questioning vinnie you get it 💯
Right! He does great. I think the Macdonald's stop is what gets him busted. He was waiting for the call. They thought about this very well
The fact that this husband sent the photo of his wife to the au pair is so despicable. The poor wife, she thinks she's just sending a pic of herself in a bathing suit to her husband. Thinking that is something that he would love to get (as he should). She probably thinks she's just being a good wife. Not even knowing that her husband don't really want her anymore because he's hooking up with a 22 year old. Or, maybe she knew or had an inkling and that's why she sent the pic? Then he turns around and sends it to the chick he's cheating with. What was his plan in sending that to her. Was he part of the planning to make a fake profile for his wife or, is he sending it to the au pair as to humiliate his wife? What a jerk!
Just now joining from West Virginia
STOP calling her the au pair! That sounds SOOO Annoying!! 😱
Incorrect. Au pair is quite appropriate. It's a term of art, a special kind of nanny/housekeeper. You can research about it.
It sounds more exotic in French. Talking about "the Nanny" would likely not garner as much salacious innuendoes which some crime shows need.
She probably sensed distance between her husband and her, and wanted to send him a picture so that he would pay attention to her and want her.
Poor woman. I wonder if she ever found out any of this at the very end. He should have just gotten a divorce instead of all this and now he's going to sit right where he belongs in a fart box of his own making
I don’t believe there’s much mystery to this case. Dude was thinking with the wrong head. May the victims rip❤❤
It looks like a James Bond movie
Photo @ 1:13 looks like the head pasted on the neck...very odd looking.
It’s truly unfortunate that there are so many comments blaming the wife for letting a young girl stay at the home, or demonizing just the au pair for “tempting” him. She was there as the nanny for their child, that’s it. It doesn’t matter what she looks like or where she’s from. The real villain here is the husband! He chose to abandon his vows and get involved with a young teenager in murdering his wife & the mother of his child.
Good evening Vinnie 🩵🩵🩵
The poor baby growing up knowing she was put in a basement while this went on is another layer of sad. I imagine she won’t learn that for awhile
Is this live?
Song as old as time. 😢
Wowzers
Thank you
Just to clear things up. Christine had a previous nanny gotten from the same company(a legit company). The Au Pairs are usually young who want to experience USA, learn English, make money. Her previous Au Pair (Brazilian) worked out perfectly. They became such good friends. Christine was here maid of honour at the 1st Au Pairs wedding. The 2nd Au Pair obviously did not have any morals or values to do what she did. Don’t blame the victim, Christine. She was a Ped Nurse in the NICU. Christine was needed in the world. The other two were not.
Bingo.
When am I finally going to admit that I'm outrageously normal? I think it might be happening here, now. 😐
He's crazy his wife is beautiful kind and smart. And he does this! He didn't deserve her. And now his daughter is going to realize the monster that her father is.
Real life is truly stranger than fiction, because at least fiction has to make sense.
He was having a affair with the nanny
Now what, Vinnie?
A Brazilian baby sitter, with an exotic name,au,pair,ruins lives,a baby girl losing her parents,was it worth it😢😮
Who else had to google au pair?
I used google translate lol
Policed says 22 old au-pair shot the guy ? How did she learn how to shoot ?. Does not make sense
Doing BDSM at 8 in the morning ? What was he thinking ?
The nanny and the husband had gone to the shooting range to practice, prior to this event. I too thought that was an unusually early "session"
On a different true crime channel here on TH-cam there was a discussion about this case and how the people involved (especially this au pair) look different in every picture 😆
Social media filters and a lot of other tricks. I guess in 30% cases people on dating apps do not find each other when they see each other in person.
When someone articulates BDSM like Vinnie you can be sure he’s very familiar with the concept :)
And where did it get them ? Idiots
There is a case that is extremely similar to this one that has been featured on many true crime podcasts from the early 2000s
About the 4th case, I'm seeing where the husband sets up and kills an innocent man in the process of getting rid of the wife.
Have these people never heard of DIVORCE?
It's "OH" pair, not "Or" pair.
The au pair shot the Joseph Ryan earlier in the day, The husband took one shot when he came home with the au pair to move the time line of when Joseph was shot. All the killings were done earlier in the day
