So, the "intruder" didn't shoot the biggest threat- the husband... but shot the wife then stabbed the husband with box cutters. That were already at the scene. While he had a gun..? Riiiiight.
Thank you for covering Connie’s case! I recommended it a while ago before the trial had started since I was appalled that Rick was still walking around, out on bail for years! I took care of her boys at daycare when they were little so I knew her pretty well. She truly was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and always had a bright smile on her face!
Dog Handler: Rocky, find the scent. Rocky: I have found the scent Handler: No Rocky. Find the scent. Rocky: This is the scent. Handler: Find the scent, Rocky! Rocky: *jumps into the ambulance* I HAVE FOUND THE SCENT; THE SCENT IS HERE!!! What a good boy
Money, The house, admitting failure, custody of children. I'm not saying I'd do it or condone it but the reasoning is pretty obvious. Men have been routinely railroaded in divorce court since it's very existence. It's not fair in the slightest, thankfully things are beginning to change but men have felt totally helpless, courts have assisted women in the slaughtering of men's lives & should absolutely be considered at fault in these horrific cases. Ignoring truths has only allowed these situations to continue to occur. However in this specific case it's the other woman.
I feel so heartbroken for Connie’s family, especially the children. Imagine losing your mother at the age of 6 and 9. then the Dad not being convicted until they were 12/13 and 15/16😢
It’s so sad that it was years later too at an age where the two are extremely vulnerable and need the most love , attention and help they can get from a parent. When I was 13-16 those were the years I needed mine the most I can’t imagine what it’s been like for the kids, my heart goes out to them ❤️
@@destineeherrera It’s so hard to lose one parent, but imagine with the other parent being the one to take the other one away and in such a heartbreaking way🥺
Why can't people just get a damn divorce? Like if he's afraid of how it will look getting a divorce or being found out as a cheater, being a murder is way worse!
Maybe so but to them it’s worth a shot at getting away with it, at the end of the day how many of these cases do we see where they actually DO get away with it? Way too many!
I think life insurance is a motive for the murder. I think one woman who murdered her husband actually once said, “I’d rather be a rich widow than a broke divorcee.”
Imo, the dog that tracked “the intruder’s” scent to the ambulance with her husband in it is super impressive. It really helped LE hone in on who committed this hellacious crime very quickly. My thoughts and prayers are with their children, because their father killed their mother and now their father is in prison, essentially making them orphans. Rest in peace Connie. 💗
@@lavonnetollison724 true lol. people using tiktok censorship for absolutely no reason to describe a real person's murder is so embarrassing and disrespectful. you can just say "killing" i promise you're not going to get permanently banned or anything you just look ridiculous
Thank you for telling the victims stories and not the killers. These things shouldn't be exploited for fame or money and I feel like you're one of the only people who understands that completely. Thank you Kendall 💖
I agree! The only other True crime TH-camr who hasn’t made me feel icky at some time is Georgia Marie. She’s fairly small but so ethical and compassionate
Yes I always appreciate the channels who tell us about the victim, what they did in their lives, paying tribute to the affect they had on the world. I want to remember the victims, not the killers.
His entire made-up story screams toxic masculinity to me? Like, did anybody else get the vibe that he was constantly changing his story in a way that would not bruise his ego? Yes, he got taken out, but only because he fell down the stairs! Yes, he got cut, but then he also fought off the bad guy who was stabbing him. Yes, his wife died, but he fought SO HEROICLY to save her. I feel so bad for Connie. She clearly knew something was up and wanted out, but of course, he could not let that happen. And I feel horrible for her children.
Great point!! God forbid his ego be threatened in the story. Also the intruder was SOOooOoO big.. Vin Diesel type of big… the only type of man he might not be able to win a fight against 🥴🙄 disgusting
Thank you so much for covering this case. I worked with Connie’s children at summer camp and her children and her we're an absolute joy. We were all devasted when this happened to her and for her sweet boys.
I am scared to think what movies do to the weak mind-that and the idea you can hit or choke someone just to knock them out-you have no idea whether a hard hit or any choke will kill someone-so don’t!
Just heard Rick's story of what happened. Why would an intruder go for the wife, quickly take care of her but then not do the exact same thing to him once he had a gun. Makes zero sense. The intruder took the time to overpower a grown man, zip tie him a little bit, not a lot, start to hurt him superficially, and then run away. Seriously the whole story stinks to high heaven.
Love your videos! I feel like so many crime channels don’t really talk about the victim as much as they would. Thank you for giving the victims the voice that was unfortunately taken away from them. ❣️
I completely agree. I also think that films made about these crimes should be from the victim’s perspective with the perpetrator/a being kept anonymous but we get told of their capture and consequences. And then finish on the legacy of the victims.
Narcissists man are such monsters. It’s so scary. They are self absorbed to the max and only care about their world. It’s totally crazy to wrap your brain around that they even think this way.
So sweet of Connie to make those lists. It shows she didn’t want to leave him. She wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I know I’ve been in her place. He let her down. So sad for sweet Connie. I wish I would’ve known her. She sounds like such a blessing ❤
Connie looks like the sweetest person, especially in her wedding photos. 😢 Thank you for always focusing on the victims lives, it makes it so more personal and easier to relate. Kendall is the queen of True Crime! ❤❤
@@LeeDee5 No, he said the assailant pressured pointed him and overpowered him and obviously he lost the fight. man is very delusional though yes and a terrible liar!

In these cases, the murderous spouse seems to always want to cash in their murdered spouse’s life insurance policy so they can start a new life. It’s so disgusting and sad.
Connie sounds like she was such an amazing person. The fact she wrote a good section on the “why I want a divorce list” saids so much about the type of person she was. Trying to see the positives of everything.
Kendall, I would love to see you do a follow up Documentary on Christian Andreacchio. The first one was so well done and so much more has happened in the case since then; Rae is still fighting hard for justice!
@@zarieescamilla2766 and there’s also another follow up on this channel I thought? The one that’s “a chat with the family members” or something like that. I really liked that one, i would love to see more of those style videos
Wow I live in CT maybe 45 minutes away from where she grew up and I’ve never heard of this case. That’s why I find what you do so important. You cover these cases in the most educational and respectful way. We love you ❤️
I understand what the mother is going through. Anyone who has lost a loved one due to something other than old age has had this thought. "if only I had said or done this" and it's really upsetting thinking you could've done something to prevent a loved one from dying or been able to say goodbye. Those who wish their last words to the deceased were filled with love instead of an argument. Those poor kids though. I don't think Christmas is ever going to be the same for them again
When I can't sleep I rewatch Kendall's old videos since I've seen them all, (more than once) and they put me to sleep.. with a quickness. Such a caring and warm voice!
I love that you don’t bombard us with ads. I know I can select one of your videos, put in my headphones, & let the video play. I won’t have to stop & fast forward through random ads. You still have sponsors (that you very much deserve) but they’re at the beginning of the video briefly & at the end. I appreciate that if you ever see this thank you.
This is just so sad for the two boys. Because they are the ones who lost the most. They have lost both of their parents. I wish them and their family all the love.
I've been following this channel for some days, and I have realized something. This lady is pretty confident when it comes to tell stories. Congrats, Kendall!
Professional as always! Too many true crime TH-camrs make jokes every now and then while telling these stories and it’s probably a way to make an uncomfortable topic more bearable to speak about. That aside, these are real peoples lives stories that are being discussed and that level of respect must always be upheld. Thank you Kendall, you’re probably my fav true crime TH-camr because of this🤍🌼keep it up!
So impressed with the dignity and compassion Kendall shows the victims and not sensationalizing their stories for views/clickbait. My heart goes out to Connie's boys and hope they have strong parental figures who show them unconditional love. 🌻
KENDALL!! Please do a video over Tara Grinstead! She was a school teacher and beauty Queen that went missing from her small town home. Her murderers got away with it for 10 years. I know you’d love the story of how. She was also one of the missing fliers posters that got put up in the woods along with multiple others
I’m actually from there, Ocilla Ga. I can remember her billboard going up and asking my mom why her picture was up. Irwinville is an incorporated community inside Irwin county. Very very tragic story that took place inside such a small community that was hushed by too many people.
As someone who worked in this town when it went down this case is nuts. Ellington is legit the last place you’d ever expect this to happen. Everyone was so stunned as everything unfolded.
@traybernbut they can be trained to follow specific scents from clothing or whatever & also to ignore specific scents. And they can differentiate b/n fresh scents & older ones. And they didn't detect any other fresh scent leading away from the house except for Rick...
Honestly Kendal, I look forward to all your channels to post. The mile higher, the sesh and your channel are my top fave for years now ! I just love how empathetic to every story you are. I wish I could be more uplifting and positive as you show to be on all of your videos !
Literally rolling my eyeeesss at this stoonad!!!! When these “recalls” are forever changing it just irks my skin. I am so sorry for Connie and her family ❤
This is so sad, now those children are going to associate the death of their mother with Christmas. I am glad he go 65 years, it should have been life without parole. Thank you so much for doing this story. My son and I really enjoy your channel, even though he won’t admit it to his friends, he is 19 and true crime isn’t cool, or whatever they say today. Enjoy your daughter while she is a baby, they grow up so fast. Take care!!! 👍🤪
I knew as soon as I heard the ridiculous intruder story, it was him. Yet another person sadly killed by someone they knew. Connie seemed such a nice lady too 💞🌹
Man, I wouldn’t be protecting the other woman. Any women who believes the “I’m living with my wife in our house, but we’re getting a divorce” might as well call herself what she is… an adulterer. Rick is an evil POS who deserves the worst karma has to offer, and I also hope that “Hannah” bears her portion of burden heavily for the rest of her life.
Not always my ex husband stayed in my guest room while my husband and I stayed in ours (stickily platonic with my ex he is my kids dad) his gf even knew and was okay with it
Hi! I live in this town and I have been hoping you would cover this case! I recently saw the dateline episode about this and I'm glad this is finally getting some coverage, had no idea most of the details and I live 10 minutes away.
I will never understand why there are so many men who choose murder over divorce. It just blows my mind. And none of them never stop to think of their children. 😪
Kendall, always respectful of victims and their families. I thought it was good that you didn't even mention the Fitbit until 3/4 of the way through this story. I had heard that the family didn't like this being referred to as the Fitbit murder because they never even mentioned Connie's name. It just became about the Fitbit. So the fact that you made this about her was good
what a coincidence, I just listened to this episode on the Dateline podcast but it took me a minute to realize because of the different ways it was presented. I really love your videos!!
I am from Ellington and I knew Connie. I looked up to her. She was the reason why I had interest in joining the volunteer ambulance squad which was located right next to the high school. She was a fantastic mom and person. I was 10 years younger than her but she never made me feel like that whenever I saw her. She was good to everyone. It kills me when I think about how she was stolen from her boys. Thank you for covering her story in an empathetic way
The mistress now has to raise a child alone and explain to their child where Rick resides and what he did 'I love you too my little jack ass " she got that 1 right!
Seriously... and how is the mistress upset that he's out with his WIFE? Thats where he is supposed to be. His place was with his wife ....these women that get into these relationships are delusion. Now she has to tell her son how he was conceived and why his father was never around. I'm sure she learned her lesson about listening to the ramblings of a married man.
Connie sounds like a wonderful person,so beloved. My husband was killed in a tragic accident, 7/27/19 . The loss of a loved one is the most difficult event one can go through. To be taken from or by a loved one,I can't even comprehend. I'm so sorry for the family and the babies who will only know their momma through stories and photos. Mr. Man is right where he should be. I hope he never gets out!!
TY so much. 4 years, 5 months, 2 days ago today. I've learned to live w my new normal. Days were very dark for a long time. I could either let myself drown or decide I still had more life to live for both of us. Being broken down to only what's left, I rebuilt myself from there. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Best wishes in 2024!!! 😉
@@rukhsaar5164Thank you for your kind words. I'm doing my best to live for us both. He was only 52. It w be 5 yrs on7/27/19. Best wishes to you & yours in 2024!!! Be well😉
Oh god the mother speaking about Connie and there conversation the morning she passed… “mom I love you your my best friend” the way she said it and her tone, she’s so sweet and gentle 🥺 my heart breaks for her but you can tell she’s a strong woman and she’s not gonna let her daughters name be forgotten ❤
Am I the only one who likes Kendall's videos before I even start watching.....just know it's going to be a good one! This might be random and you prolly won't see this comment. But during the hard covid lockdowns here in South Africa, I would binge watch your and Josh's videos to the point that my brain thought we were friends 😅 kinda silly but you guys helped me through a lot. So thank you ❤️
I’m not convinced the lady he was cheating with didn’t know he wasn’t truly going through a divorce when they met. Chances are maybe it started out that way but overtime she discovered the truth and still chose to stay with him and gave him the final ultimatum of leave her or we’re through and instead of divorcing her, he did the unthinkable.
This is definitely a possibility, but given he has no problem lying to everyone else I could see him lying to her as well. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until we hear otherwise.
I don’t understand why he would claim the security system is off making a possible intruder alert and instead of calling/texting his wife first, saying don’t go in the house I’m on the way, he makes an email to work. Instantly guilty after that. So sorry for her family and kids 😢
I'm pretty familiar with this case, but I don't think I've ever heard her birthday before. Connie was born the day before me. That's one of the things I love about Kendall & the select tc TH-camrs I watch, they really cover who the victims were to the best of their ability, which gives us more of a connection to them. We're made up of little details that make us unique. Too many news & pod casters and TH-camrs skip the little details to just get the case out for the clicks. I think it's important to allow people to relate. It reminds the viewer that these are human beings not fictional characters for entertainment. It's weird to know my & Connie's mothers were in the hospital on the same day greeting their new daughter. I appreciate Kendall trying to present her as a full person. Wife, mom, daughter & individual, unique woman. A birthday is something small & not particularly reflective of who someone was, but it's been skipped over by many & it makes me feel tied to her. You never know what will create that connection, so it's important that the creator starts off with the attitude that it's a real person rather than a campfire tale. Kendall ALWAYS does that.
This was a good one. You covered it beautifully as always. You should do the story of Sierah Joughin. Really sad, she was abducted and murdered near my hometown in Ohio back in 2016
She should do a video on Chloe Edwards. The 14 year old from Reno,NV who was bullied and stabbed to death. Not many cases from Reno get covered or even make the news since it’s such a small city but, this case is crazy sad and more people should know about it
It always bothers me when divorce is an option and they choose to harm their partner instead. Especially when their partner is such a wonderful human like Connie. Ive watched this case on other true crime platforms and everyone has said how amazing Connie was , and what a void is left with her gone. My heart breaks for her family.
It is cases like this that scare me. You just never know what is going on inside of people & what they are planning. Even people that claim to love you.
Steven Segal couldnt come up with a more cheesy ass action movie scene than Rick. Like what a goofy ass tale to tell when youre trying to convince the cops.
i was friends with this individual as a small child. we played together often. he was a neighbor. so this was pretty shocking when this story came out a few years ago! i knew him as Ricky
Thank you for taking time and effort in telling us the Victims stpry and not the killers. You are doing amazing! Motherhood becomes you my friend❤❤❤ Can't wait to see the little one! Please never stop being a voice for the Victims they need you!

I cannot understand murder as a solution instead of divorce. But ESPECIALLY when you’re leaving your kids without a parent

Connie sounds like she was such an amazing person. The fact she wrote a good section on the “why I want a divorce list” saids so much about the type of person she was. Trying to see the positives of everything.
Kendall, I would love to see you do a follow up Documentary on Christian Andreacchio. The first one was so well done and so much more has happened in the case since then; Rae is still fighting hard for justice!
there’s a follow up on their mile higher podcast with christian’s mom :))
It would be great to have it done documentary style like they did the first time.
@@zarieescamilla2766 and there’s also another follow up on this channel I thought? The one that’s “a chat with the family members” or something like that. I really liked that one, i would love to see more of those style videos
I second this! I felt so connected to his case after watching your documentary. I would love to see a follow up.
rip Connie. She had such a bright smile, I'm sure she made others feel very safe around her.
Wow I live in CT maybe 45 minutes away from where she grew up and I’ve never heard of this case. That’s why I find what you do so important. You cover these cases in the most educational and respectful way. We love you ❤️
I live and work in the town this took place in and I never heard of it! I'm shocked I had never seen it before.
Same here.
"If you have 100 alarm bells going off in your head, your not alone" . That was hilarious!
made a tough afternoon better. thanks Kendall! I love the way you cover crime with a gentle and ethical demeanour
Definitely a rough day ! It's a breath of fresh air listening to her lol
It will get better, love. I promise.
It’s very disheartening to see evil, narcissistic individuals snuff out a soul that illuminated so many people’s lives. RIP Connie ❤
I understand what the mother is going through. Anyone who has lost a loved one due to something other than old age has had this thought. "if only I had said or done this" and it's really upsetting thinking you could've done something to prevent a loved one from dying or been able to say goodbye. Those who wish their last words to the deceased were filled with love instead of an argument.
Those poor kids though. I don't think Christmas is ever going to be the same for them again
My heart breaks for RJ and Connor. Losing their mum like that. I hope Rick rots in prison.
When I can't sleep I rewatch Kendall's old videos since I've seen them all, (more than once) and they put me to sleep.. with a quickness. Such a caring and warm voice!
I thought I was the only one! Kendalls voice is so relaxing. Although the content is really not what you'd expect to fall asleep to lol, it works.
@@crocodilemma exactly.. if she can talk about murders and what not and it put us to sleep .. id say she definitely has a relaxing voice lol
Her husband, Josh's channel is called Lights Out. His voice is equally soothing and the topics are always interesting. I listen to his to go to sleep
I love that you don’t bombard us with ads. I know I can select one of your videos, put in my headphones, & let the video play. I won’t have to stop & fast forward through random ads. You still have sponsors (that you very much deserve) but they’re at the beginning of the video briefly & at the end. I appreciate that if you ever see this thank you.
That poor dog just being like “it’s this guy,” and the cops are like “try it again, buddy”
I love that the dog spectrum spans from "i can track a scent and pinpoint a killer" to "my shadow is actually another dog trying to square up on me"
This is just so sad for the two boys. Because they are the ones who lost the most. They have lost both of their parents. I wish them and their family all the love.
Just and FYI, Connie's sons are being raised by Connie's older sister and bro-in-law.
I've been following this channel for some days, and I have realized something. This lady is pretty confident when it comes to tell stories. Congrats, Kendall!
Professional as always! Too many true crime TH-camrs make jokes every now and then while telling these stories and it’s probably a way to make an uncomfortable topic more bearable to speak about. That aside, these are real peoples lives stories that are being discussed and that level of respect must always be upheld. Thank you Kendall, you’re probably my fav true crime TH-camr because of this🤍🌼keep it up!
not my jaw dropping hearing my hometown come out of Kendall’s mouth 😱 can’t wait to hear more about this case
i appreciate kendall’s thoughts and pov on these cases now that she’s a mom - as a mom looking at these cases it’s truly freaking disheartening
So impressed with the dignity and compassion Kendall shows the victims and not sensationalizing their stories for views/clickbait.
My heart goes out to Connie's boys and hope they have strong parental figures who show them unconditional love. 🌻
Is "has deep ties to the community" lawyer speak for: his knocked up mistress lives nearby?
Asking for a friend.
@kendallrae9956 reported you again
KENDALL!! Please do a video over Tara Grinstead! She was a school teacher and beauty Queen that went missing from her small town home. Her murderers got away with it for 10 years. I know you’d love the story of how. She was also one of the missing fliers posters that got put up in the woods along with multiple others
Irwinville Georgia
I’ve got this one on my list to cover soon!
This happened 30 minutes from me. I'm friends with one of her former students. It was so sad!!! She was his favorite teacher.
I’m actually from there, Ocilla Ga. I can remember her billboard going up and asking my mom why her picture was up. Irwinville is an incorporated community inside Irwin county. Very very tragic story that took place inside such a small community that was hushed by too many people.
@@KendallRae I'd love it if you could feature Payton Lindsey from his podcast Up and Vanished, which covered the case in detail!!!
As someone who worked in this town when it went down this case is nuts. Ellington is legit the last place you’d ever expect this to happen. Everyone was so stunned as everything unfolded.
I work with S&R dogs, which are trained similarly to police dogs. Their scent and training is VERY accurate.
@traybernbut they can be trained to follow specific scents from clothing or whatever & also to ignore specific scents. And they can differentiate b/n fresh scents & older ones. And they didn't detect any other fresh scent leading away from the house except for Rick...
The tracker dog was like *_did i stutter?_* 😂😂 what a good doggo
Why protect "Hannah's" real identity? She was not innocent she was willingly involved with a married man. That is awful
Honestly Kendal, I look forward to all your channels to post. The mile higher, the sesh and your channel are my top fave for years now ! I just love how empathetic to every story you are. I wish I could be more uplifting and positive as you show to be on all of your videos !
I love taking a bath while my 20 week old naps. And I JUST got in. WHOOOO! Bathtub true crime time 😊
that sounds like a dream omg🥺🥺❤️
Enjoy! 🧼 ❤
Lucky! I’m waiting for my 18 month old to take a nap lol.
I listen to true crime while I’m chilling in my tub too
My 109 week old is sleeping too!
I’m loving how unfiltered you are with this case! And yes, we all are thinking exactly what you think lol
Thank you for always being so empathic and kind when telling these stories. It means a lot.
Literally rolling my eyeeesss at this stoonad!!!! When these “recalls” are forever changing it just irks my skin.
I am so sorry for Connie and her family ❤
This is so sad, now those children are going to associate the death of their mother with Christmas. I am glad he go 65 years, it should have been life without parole. Thank you so much for doing this story. My son and I really enjoy your channel, even though he won’t admit it to his friends, he is 19 and true crime isn’t cool, or whatever they say today. Enjoy your daughter while she is a baby, they grow up so fast. Take care!!! 👍🤪
One of the best at putting these horrific stories together for us, and respectfully...thank you ❤️
Connie seems like such a wonderful and beautiful mother. I hope her boys find peace ♥️
Poor Connie, I can't even imagine the pain her children are in. BE CARFUL WHO YOU BE WITH.
Great coverage of this case as always Kendall!
Connie seemed to radiate light and joy. She had such a beautiful smile
Today's lesson:
If he calls you "love nugget"...
Leave his ass.
Idk what it is but Kendall's voice is now a trigger for my brain to relax 😌✨
Same!!!
I knew as soon as I heard the ridiculous intruder story, it was him. Yet another person sadly killed by someone they knew. Connie seemed such a nice lady too 💞🌹
Man, I wouldn’t be protecting the other woman. Any women who believes the “I’m living with my wife in our house, but we’re getting a divorce” might as well call herself what she is… an adulterer. Rick is an evil POS who deserves the worst karma has to offer, and I also hope that “Hannah” bears her portion of burden heavily for the rest of her life.
exactly, it’s such a stupid excuse she probably knew that connie and rick were not getting divorced.
Not always my ex husband stayed in my guest room while my husband and I stayed in ours (stickily platonic with my ex he is my kids dad) his gf even knew and was okay with it
@@annmarieheath4772 -That’s freaking bizarre, though. A husband being okay with the ex husband living under the same roof is mind boggling to me. 😂
Hi! I live in this town and I have been hoping you would cover this case! I recently saw the dateline episode about this and I'm glad this is finally getting some coverage, had no idea most of the details and I live 10 minutes away.
I will never understand why there are so many men who choose murder over divorce. It just blows my mind. And none of them never stop to think of their children. 😪
That little smirk he has in the picture at the hospital really creeps me out.
It was so nice to have a crime story that was solved in the end. Thank you keep it up.
It amazes me that if her friends knew she wasn’t happy with him, that they didn’t suspect it was him that murdered her! 🤦🏻♀️
Kendall, always respectful of victims and their families. I thought it was good that you didn't even mention the Fitbit until 3/4 of the way through this story. I had heard that the family didn't like this being referred to as the Fitbit murder because they never even mentioned Connie's name. It just became about the Fitbit. So the fact that you made this about her was good
what a coincidence, I just listened to this episode on the Dateline podcast but it took me a minute to realize because of the different ways it was presented. I really love your videos!!
I am from Ellington and I knew Connie. I looked up to her. She was the reason why I had interest in joining the volunteer ambulance squad which was located right next to the high school. She was a fantastic mom and person. I was 10 years younger than her but she never made me feel like that whenever I saw her. She was good to everyone. It kills me when I think about how she was stolen from her boys. Thank you for covering her story in an empathetic way
@T Raybern I'm assuming she means she didn't treat her like a child or speak condescendingly to her or belittle her
@T Raybern Meaning, she didn’t make me feel less capable or smart just because I was a kid. Is that so difficult to wrap your mind around?
@@SAlina-se9xq Yes, that’s what I meant. Thank you.
Note to self: Never trust a guy that looks in two directions, obviously one’s on the wife and the other on the girlfriend 🤨😩
What does that mean
@@moemoney444 look at the pictures of him. His eyes literally look in two different directions.
😂😂😂😂 savage
😂😂😂😂
The mistress now has to raise a child alone and explain to their child where Rick resides and what he did
'I love you too my little jack ass " she got that 1 right!
Seriously... and how is the mistress upset that he's out with his WIFE? Thats where he is supposed to be. His place was with his wife ....these women that get into these relationships are delusion. Now she has to tell her son how he was conceived and why his father was never around. I'm sure she learned her lesson about listening to the ramblings of a married man.
@@Bri-nc8yp exactly. I can’t stand the “he told me he’s going to leave his wife” bs. He hasn’t yet so don’t even get into it before he does then.
‘and if you are thinking…What the Fu@k?!?! you are not alone!’ 😂😂😂
Connie sounds like a wonderful person,so beloved.
My husband was killed in a tragic accident, 7/27/19 . The loss of a loved one is the most difficult event one can go through. To be taken from or by a loved one,I can't even comprehend.
I'm so sorry for the family and the babies who will only know their momma through stories and photos.
Mr. Man is right where he should be. I hope he never gets out!!
Hope you’re okay
So sorry for your loss. 🤍
TY so much. 4 years, 5 months, 2 days ago today. I've learned to live w my new normal. Days were very dark for a long time. I could either let myself drown or decide I still had more life to live for both of us. Being broken down to only what's left, I rebuilt myself from there. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Best wishes in 2024!!! 😉
@@rukhsaar5164Thank you for your kind words. I'm doing my best to live for us both. He was only 52. It w be 5 yrs on7/27/19.
Best wishes to you & yours in 2024!!! Be well😉
i dont get how one could murder another, let alone your WIFE. the mother of your CHILDREN. it’s crazy.
Oh god the mother speaking about Connie and there conversation the morning she passed… “mom I love you your my best friend” the way she said it and her tone, she’s so sweet and gentle 🥺 my heart breaks for her but you can tell she’s a strong woman and she’s not gonna let her daughters name be forgotten ❤
Thank you, Kendall, for posting the arrest affidavit.
Am I the only one who likes Kendall's videos before I even start watching.....just know it's going to be a good one!
This might be random and you prolly won't see this comment. But during the hard covid lockdowns here in South Africa, I would binge watch your and Josh's videos to the point that my brain thought we were friends 😅 kinda silly but you guys helped me through a lot. So thank you ❤️
I’m not convinced the lady he was cheating with didn’t know he wasn’t truly going through a divorce when they met. Chances are maybe it started out that way but overtime she discovered the truth and still chose to stay with him and gave him the final ultimatum of leave her or we’re through and instead of divorcing her, he did the unthinkable.
This is definitely a possibility, but given he has no problem lying to everyone else I could see him lying to her as well. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until we hear otherwise.
Yep. And she should be charged for that. Her name is Sara Ganzer
Please cover the case of Amina and Belel Kandil. Their mother filled out one of your forms and would love for you to talk about them on your channel.
I don’t understand why he would claim the security system is off making a possible intruder alert and instead of calling/texting his wife first, saying don’t go in the house I’m on the way, he makes an email to work. Instantly guilty after that. So sorry for her family and kids 😢
I don't know why but it's always in the eyes. Just dead and wide.
Marriage is not for everyone. Just divorce no need of getting your hands full of blood 😢
I'm pretty familiar with this case, but I don't think I've ever heard her birthday before. Connie was born the day before me. That's one of the things I love about Kendall & the select tc TH-camrs I watch, they really cover who the victims were to the best of their ability, which gives us more of a connection to them.
We're made up of little details that make us unique. Too many news & pod casters and TH-camrs skip the little details to just get the case out for the clicks. I think it's important to allow people to relate. It reminds the viewer that these are human beings not fictional characters for entertainment.
It's weird to know my & Connie's mothers were in the hospital on the same day greeting their new daughter. I appreciate Kendall trying to present her as a full person. Wife, mom, daughter & individual, unique woman. A birthday is something small & not particularly reflective of who someone was, but it's been skipped over by many & it makes me feel tied to her. You never know what will create that connection, so it's important that the creator starts off with the attitude that it's a real person rather than a campfire tale. Kendall ALWAYS does that.
This was a good one. You covered it beautifully as always. You should do the story of Sierah Joughin. Really sad, she was abducted and murdered near my hometown in Ohio back in 2016
Kendall, I have to tell you, that I love the way you tell the story. Excellent !!!!
Looking at pictures of him scares me. He’s terrifying looking.
She should do a video on Chloe Edwards. The 14 year old from Reno,NV who was bullied and stabbed to death. Not many cases from Reno get covered or even make the news since it’s such a small city but, this case is crazy sad and more people should know about it
and Chloe was the girlfriend of my supervisors son 😢
It always bothers me when divorce is an option and they choose to harm their partner instead. Especially when their partner is such a wonderful human like Connie. Ive watched this case on other true crime platforms and everyone has said how amazing Connie was , and what a void is left with her gone. My heart breaks for her family.
Richard is GUILTY! . I feel so sorry for the children. Connie RIP.🙏
It is cases like this that scare me. You just never know what is going on inside of people & what they are planning. Even people that claim to love you.
Steven Segal couldnt come up with a more cheesy ass action movie scene than Rick. Like what a goofy ass tale to tell when youre trying to convince the cops.
i was friends with this individual as a small child. we played together often. he was a neighbor. so this was pretty shocking when this story came out a few years ago! i knew him as Ricky
Thank you for taking time and effort in telling us the Victims stpry and not the killers. You are doing amazing!
Motherhood becomes you my friend❤❤❤ Can't wait to see the little one!
Please never stop being a voice for the Victims they need you!
