A big thankyou to the ladies who worked tirelessly on this case. 16 years is not enough, he needs to get a life sentenced without parole. It's really sad that such people exist in this world. My heart goes out to her young son, her family n friends.

Did they slove it? Last time I checked this was on forensic files episodes now its removed & no where to be found! It was a team that worked and found her murderer.
After my 22 years of marriage, I devoted my life to raising my children, 10 and 13 then. I didn't think I could trust anyone with my children's safety and emotional well-being. I raised them all by myself. Now they are grown, well rounded and highly educated young professionals. Did I miss the chance to find a good man? Maybe. But I would do it exactly the same way. In my culture, you don't bring a wolf into your house if you have lambs inside. I don't trust anyone with my children's safety and well-being. I believe in dedication and devotion, not luck.
Leaving an abusive relationship is the most dangerous time in the relationship. Please contact a domestic violence hotline to create a safety plan for yourself.
And that he was trying to get on with her friends somehow tells me he's lacking normal ability to self constraint. One thing is some people seem not be able to stick along to one person only yet to moving on the partner's friend... eew.
I do wish we were able to have funding set aside for woman that needed to leave so that we could be able to relocate for at least 4mths without their name and that give them time to get a job without using their name etc until they can get on their feet.. It can be done because this is exactly what we do for those in witness protection... Just something like that to save lives...
@@Swnsasy for real I completely agree. The more I watch crime shows the more I realize how useful mommy communes would be and how there should be funding for that. If we can spend trillions on war, we can at least spend a few billion on empowering single parents and allowing them the chance to safely leave a sociopathic narcissistic psychopath .
When my mum left my dad we packed while he slept, we had the day off school, and he wasn't told until we were in a place of safety. It was still scary when we went back to our home after he had left the state.
Unfortunately people don’t care about the victim enough to make sure that the numbers don’t increase. They have more sympathy for violent criminals than their victims
You ladies did a fantastic job, but 16 years for cold blooded, calculated murder with no remorse and a mountain of lies to try to hide his guilt?! That’s a disgrace.💔
Exactly what I said .I would have been outraged and that's a slap in the face to this woman's family and friends and to her .I want to believe that Karma takes care of evil people and they get what they deserve cause the courts sure don't .Unless it's a proven accident when someone gets killed then it should be a life for a life end of story .I will never understand why anyone gets that little time for murder but I'm so glad these detectives kept on and they brought him to trail and a shame the Judge messed it up .
what a liar the murderer was, he couldn't live without Alaina but he takes another woman, and she wears Alainas ring. ladies should be careful who they get involved with
Glad he's been convicted. Mad he only got 16 years!!!! That monster is guaranteed the future chance to have freedom and hurt more people. Unbelievable. 😔
Well, at least he will spend his BEST years in prison... then he will not be that attractive to women, I hope. It really sucks 16 years... I have seen more severe punishemt for lesser crimes. I guess it depends on the State.
He’s probably out already. He was convicted in 2008, so that’s almost 14 years. He could have gotten paroled. What a travesty. Can you imagine finding out that the man you married gave you an engagement ring off of the body of his former fiancé whose eyes he was staring into while he was strangling her? Strangling someone isn’t easy. It takes upwards of 4-5 minutes of constant hard pressure. If he stopped at all during that, he’d have to begin again. His eternity will consist of similar torture if he doesn’t get honest and confess and repent. But, that’s for God to know and decide. To me, he’s a disgusting piece of filth.
WOW that bloodhound was amazing and left me speechless to go straight to the home she had with Sione. Great detectives, they are bloodhounds themselves ... never gave up. Amazing and well done 👏
Only 16 years!!! Wtf? That’s not bad for murder! What is wrong with our system? My heart is broke for her family & friends. Great work detectives!!! You go girls!!! 🙏🙏🙏
They could of also charged him with filing a false police report, tampering with evidence, rape, ECT. They need to charge him with more so he gets more time!!!
I lived with in the mother in law unit of the house when this happened with my ex. We were renting from her parents, and they were renting from my in laws. I helped them setup her son's bed. She was so sweet, a genuine bright person. He scared me. We stopped to chat on a Wednesday afternoon while I was headed downstairs. After a few minutes he asked if I'd heard or seen anything "strange" the Friday before. When I stated that we hadn't, he casually says "oh, Ellaina went missing Friday, I'm thinking of calling the police." I kinda thought it was weird he'd wait five days, but kinda shrugged off the weird voice in the back of my head, assured him that she would turn up, and started down the stairs. He then called me back as a quick, friendly question asked "how do you turn off the light by the front door?" When I informed him the switch was downstairs in our apartment, he laughed uneasily and said "ohhhh, I was going crazy trying to figure out how to turn it off Friday night!" Friday... he wanted the lights facing the street off, suddenly, the night she disappeared. He killed her, and I knew it. The detectives knew it. They just needed to prove it. After being questioned when her body was found, he was suddenly pounding on my door, wild eyed and breathless, demanding to know "what did you tell the cops?!" I told him I knew nothing to tell and he visibly relaxed, chuckled and said "I just wanted to see if there was anything you could add to help." Even at the trial, when he was being led away in cuffs by two deputies as I waited for the elevator, I still could feel the hate after testifying. Seeing that little boy, her friends, her family laying flowers and candles a few days later crushed me. It still haunts me.
I’ve got female friends who have dated men like this and found out after months that he’s married, sometimes with kids, and asking them to marry. It’s bizarre behaviour. It’s the same thing with people who say they don’t want an open relationship but then screw around whilst getting jealous of the person they’re cheating on.
16 years for murder is indeed a crime. What the heck? Great job to those detectives. They had to be appalled at the sentence. The engagement ring situation is crazy.
These detectives did a GREAT JOB... that man is SO EVIL to takw her life when ahe had a son that needed her so much... I REALLY HOPE he doesn't get out of prison alive...!
The fiancé’s sister does an inspection of his house, looking for irregularities such as signs of struggle. This suggests that he may have had a criminal past that his family at least were aware of. I think the police should have looked into that deeper. 16 years is not enough for taking another human being’s life. Why can’t he be incarcerated for life?
They are trained to do that but there is no need to get sentimental about it, they have no idea why they are doing it, all they know is they get a treat if they get it right (the basics of dog training is food treats vs punishment). They don't do it for the love of humanity, they do it for food.

In life she was so loved. At least she had that! And that hound is a hero. She kept it so cool when she had to meet him. And what a db, asking her out after he killed his fiancée. These detectives didn’t miss a beat.

So sad that Elaina was gone, horrifically, but it's also nice to know that she has made true friends who've never forgotten her. RIP. Salute to those tenacious detectives. Thank you!
Remember 16 years in WA state means he will be released at around the 12 yr mark. Since WA doesnt have parole we have good time. Chances are if he is on his best behavior he will be released after 12. Then on probation for the remaining 4 at the very least. NOT justice what so ever for a murder case.....
Chrissie--I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, and I pray also that they find the murderer. In light of your tragedy, I'm also sorry that you received such a harsh response. The Lord give you strength to persevere.
I thought something was off when she was set to visit her mom a week before her wedding... why? Wouldn't she see her mom at her wedding? Shouldn't she be busy doing last minute planning for her wedding? I knew something was off, kinda seemed like she was escaping something and returning to the comfort of her home and mom. May her soul RIP, her poor kid.
16 years is a joke! Everyone needs friends like Elaina! Life is not for us to take but the Lords unless it is self-defense! I honor these investigators! They are like "bull dogs." THANK YOU for NOT giving up and putting this piece of crap in jail! God bless you and your families ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great Job Detective and thank you for taking up this case to convict the murderer. Congratulations, I could vicariously feel about your feelings in court when guilty verdict was declared by Judge/Jury. Super feeling and tears rolled in my eyes for you and your dedicated team for so long that 5 years. Murderer must not get away with his committed murder.
This is one of the BEST true crime stories I’ve ever seen! These women went after this killer and never stopped! God bless them and the little son who I hope will grow up well cared for. Such good FRIENDS also ♥️🙏🏼🌹
All these incredible women, fighting for justice to another amazing, beautiful woman! My heart is sinking in so much compassion...RIP beautiful lady, and every lady that's been murdered ..🥺💕
That amazing bloodhound dog! Wow. 2 weeks had passed and it still picked up the scent (the scent deteriorated from natural elements for sure) from almost a mile away. What an incredible dog!
Ok. Finally he went to jail! But my question is a life only worth 16 years of prison for the murderer, and possibly with good behavior and a good lawyer even less??? Let's not forget she was young, and her child grows up without mother ! On top whenever he is released, he can get married, have children and from his murdered victim not even the bones are left . So actually it isn't a law , but a disgusting joke. Normally he should leave prison in a casket, because now by his release, only a cocktail party is missing!!!!!
Good for everyone who had a Mom. My Grandmother played that role. May she sleep in piece...Kudos to all the strong women out there who made their children's lives their first priority.
I'm amazed at the tenacity of law enforcement and the investigation with all of the cast and crew - down to the dog finding the perps home. Great job and thank you for hanging in there - I know it's your job, officers, attorneys, ancillary (read necessary & important) staff....You're all magnificent.
Never ever ignore red flags. Especially when there are children involved. No man is worth it. Unbelievable this creep only got 16 yrs. A slap on the wrist. How insulting. All the hard work of detectives and search dog should have gotten him a life sentence.
The cognitive dissonance it takes to kill someone you claim you cannot live without but then goes on to marry someone else thereby living life without her is just 🤬🤬.
I've seen a lot of comments before, about Australian cases, saying how did they not get longer, our laws aren't strong enough (don't disagree by the way), but 16 yrs?
"He can't live without her." Right. So he kills her, steals her ring and gives it to another woman. What were the charges he was convicted on? Manslaughter?
Even we would have given him an average of 25. But your justice system is equally as shit as ours. Just the other end of the scale. Ironic that the land of the free has the most people incarcerated per capita of the 90 odd Free Counties on earth.
Amazing to see so many women detectives. It makes sense that women working a case that involves a woman victim would have potential insight into how the victim was thinking for example the items in the suitcase. Fantastic work in justice!
16yrs for cold blooded murder? How much will this monster get the next time he kills someone...and let's not kid ourselves that he's not going to do this again! Shameful sentence...
There have always been awesome gals working to save people … but what I like is that women and men are working together to help people. My favorite of these specials is a different episode - with Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd celebrating the brilliant FBI agent Susan Goreck who went undercover to solve a case. We all get along together more than the media would ever want to portray.
Sheriff Grady is awesome ! He always gets the bad guys and I wish there were more like him, he hides nothing and names and shames them, I love how he shows large coloured photos of the crims, just so everyone knows who they are ! ❤️
Yeah for sure working together is the best but women deserve recognition in a field they don't get taken as seriously. Women in general don't get taken seriously in lots of situations.I like that the female detectives cracked the case.
Yeah, those guys who hound you to death with repeated phone calls and stalking, badgering you about your whereabouts and then attempting to convince you their jealousy means they love you, are CHEATING ON YOU. They assume you are doing what they are doing.
I love how it was all women who cracked the case. great job ladies! You didn't give up! Women are the best detectives thats why we're called FBI LOL. Glad Elaina got justice.

That's why I hate when people say " well why didn't she just leave?" Too many women have lost their lives simple for leaving a relationship.
Sounds like she was trying to go to her mom's, that's the safest place to go 💕 Absolutely heartbreaking.

Never inform a 'partner' of your plans to leave. These days it's nearly impossible to tell what their reaction will be. Leave first! mho

Intentionally end someone’s life and only get 16 years of your life housed and fed on us. That sucks.
16 years in prison is not enough of a punishment for murder. No way.
Wow
Especially not for someone who has been extremely violent in the past, too. This was too lenient.
Should be life without parole

Better than through the 1960-1980s. It used to be 7 years to serve. Abusers would do the crime and the time and get out to rinse and repeat.

Congratulations, I could vicariously feel about your feelings in court when guilty verdict was declared by Judge/Jury. Super feeling and tears rolled in my eyes for you and your dedicated team for so long that 5 years. Murderer must not get away with his committed murder.
This is one of the BEST true crime stories I’ve ever seen! These women went after this killer and never stopped! God bless them and the little son who I hope will grow up well cared for. Such good FRIENDS also ♥️🙏🏼🌹
Mad props to these women for never stopping.
All these incredible women, fighting for justice to another amazing, beautiful woman! My heart is sinking in so much compassion...RIP beautiful lady, and every lady that's been murdered ..🥺💕
If anything bad ever happens to me or mine, I want these dogged female detectives on my case!! Great job, ladies! God bless and keep you.❤️
Man, imagine being his new wife and finding out the ring he gave you…
Makes your stomach turn 🤢
She loves it. His wife stood by him.
The wedding ring did it. He gave his new wife her ring. Caught yeah!
That amazing bloodhound dog! Wow. 2 weeks had passed and it still picked up the scent (the scent deteriorated from natural elements for sure) from almost a mile away. What an incredible dog!
I’ve seen the same thing weeks later in another case. Dogs sense of smell is amazing
This series has the best true crime documentaries I have ever watched ! Just amazing 👏👏👏
He got a whole 16 years. Non violent “drug offenders” get more than that every single day in this country. Every hour.
Ok. Finally he went to jail! But my question is a life only worth 16 years of prison for the murderer, and possibly with good behavior and a good lawyer even less???
Let's not forget she was young, and her child grows up without mother ! On top whenever he is released, he can get married, have children and from his murdered victim not even the bones are left . So actually it isn't a law , but a disgusting joke. Normally he should leave prison in a casket, because now by his release, only a cocktail party is missing!!!!!
I knew it was Cioni. Suit cases items gave him up. He is the only person able to get her stuff.
Good for everyone who had a Mom. My Grandmother played that role. May she sleep in piece...Kudos to all the strong women out there who made their children's lives their first priority.
I remember Sue Peters from Ann Rule's books. She is an amazing detective.
16 years isn't enough. She's gone forever.
Why couldn’t he care at least about her little boy? Leaving him with no mom. 😢
I'm amazed at the tenacity of law enforcement and the investigation with all of the cast and crew - down to the dog finding the perps home. Great job and thank you for hanging in there - I know it's your job, officers, attorneys, ancillary (read necessary & important) staff....You're all magnificent.
Tomorrow is 2022, and this bloke will be free in 2023. What a laugh of a sentence!
Why can't these guys just walk away from relationships? So simple. They have no right to take a life.
It’s all about control, these sick f@cks can’t handle losing total control of their victims.
Why only 16 years tho? He deserves more time
Never ever ignore red flags. Especially when there are children involved. No man is worth it. Unbelievable this creep only got 16 yrs. A slap on the wrist. How insulting. All the hard work of detectives and search dog should have gotten him a life sentence.
Did he not say newly married. I thought she was married to him. 😕 16 years! She lost decades and so did her son. Who bought him up?
probably the father since he had visitation and the mother is gone. :/
He said he couldn't live without Elaina but he didn't die after he killed her....
Psychos!!! 💔
Just empty words… they know they things to say… but their actions count
"Here Baby, My dead ex-girlfriend wanted you to have her ring"
Brilliant move Ree Turd.
Rip eliana. The boyfriend claimed they were highly in love. Her engagement ring was missing. He was having an affair oh
You missed the ‘he was already married’ part
Kudos to the dogged head investigating ladies.their persistence and zeal to solve the case is so amazing to me.they are truly my hero.
The cognitive dissonance it takes to kill someone you claim you cannot live without but then goes on to marry someone else thereby living life without her is just 🤬🤬.
He raped her as he murdered her. She was just a possession to him.
I've seen a lot of comments before, about Australian cases, saying how did they not get longer, our laws aren't strong enough (don't disagree by the way), but 16 yrs?
Our average sentence for murder is 25 years
Double jeopardy is a ludicrous law.
How I wish Elaina chose men the way she chose her friends 😢
Amen to that. A gang leader former husband and a violent controlling second boyfriend say quite a bit about her preference for very bad boys.
"He can't live without her." Right. So he kills her, steals her ring and gives it to another woman. What were the charges he was convicted on? Manslaughter?
Another great case solved. Thank you
Outstanding work, detectives! AND the amazing super-hound!
He is sooooo vile
16 years???What are we in Australia ??.. .Fk that💪..Texas would've giving him a life sentence.
Even we would have given him an average of 25.
But your justice system is equally as shit as ours. Just the other end of the scale.
Ironic that the land of the free has the most people incarcerated per capita of the 90 odd Free Counties on earth.
In Texas they would have put him down if he was guilty or not
16 years! For murder! WTH that’s horrible. That’s justice, I don’t think So😡🤬
Amazing to see so many women detectives. It makes sense that women working a case that involves a woman victim would have potential insight into how the victim was thinking for example the items in the suitcase. Fantastic work in justice!
all that work and the murder of a beautiful woman and he only gets 16 years?
16yrs for cold blooded murder? How much will this monster get the next time he kills someone...and let's not kid ourselves that he's not going to do this again! Shameful sentence...
IN MY VIEW
Outstanding Detective Work. Everyone involved did their part putting him away.
16 years, he probably did 8 years max with good behavior, and is most likely now a free man.
No, it looks like he's serving the full sentence
There have always been awesome gals working to save people … but what I like is that women and men are working together to help people. My favorite of these specials is a different episode - with Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd celebrating the brilliant FBI agent Susan Goreck who went undercover to solve a case. We all get along together more than the media would ever want to portray.
Sheriff Grady is awesome ! He always gets the bad guys and I wish there were more like him, he hides nothing and names and shames them, I love how he shows large coloured photos of the crims, just so everyone knows who they are ! ❤️
Agreed. The media is trying to divide us. I wish more people would see that. God bless🙏
@@randyrawdingii5135 You as well 🙏🏼
Yeah for sure working together is the best but women deserve recognition in a field they don't get taken as seriously. Women in general don't get taken seriously in lots of situations.I like that the female detectives cracked the case.
I really don't know what you mean about the media. I never noticed them pitting women and men against each other. maybe stop watching fox news.
They took 6 or 7 years to convict and he only gets 16 years? That doesn't seem correct. It seems like a botched case more than anything.
Since when is a fast verdict a “bad sign”? It’s usually a guilty verdict. WTH?
Calm down.
Fair point
Yeah, those guys who hound you to death with repeated phone calls and stalking, badgering you about your whereabouts and then attempting to convince you their jealousy means they love you, are CHEATING ON YOU. They assume you are doing what they are doing.
I love how it was all women who cracked the case. great job ladies! You didn't give up! Women are the best detectives thats why we're called FBI LOL. Glad Elaina got justice.
Female. Brilliant. Investigation. 🔎
Its why the series is called Murder She Solved :)
