We bought my engagement ring from Ted. He was the nicest! We went back to the store a year later to have it cleaned and he remembered the exact ring he sold us! He treated every client like they were a personal friend, and his rescue "shop" dogs were gentle giants! This was a true loss for the Austin area.
🥺🥺
Bit of a late reply but I think this is absolutely incredible! You should be so proud of yourself! Watching true crime videos like this inspired me to become a forensic investigator and I got offers for university although I didn’t get the grades to get on the courses
. I’ve completed a year in uni doing youth work but now my dream is to become a paramedic after seeing how many lives were saved hearing stories like these❤
how truly horrific. she heard her husband, best friend and business partner of 30 years die, had to see and step over his dead body, also heard her dog get shot and killed. then she finds out it was her son and loses her son and daughter in law. this woman went from a happy rich successful married mother to a lonely childless widow. she lost everything she loved and knew. i cannot imagine the pain and trauma. i feel so so sorry for her
This comment 😢
This makes me want to cry. He was given so many opportunities to succeed and he didn’t appreciate any of it.
I don't understand why Nick didn't just start working for Ted or something? With enough time and effort he could have been a valuable asset to the family business, which he likely would have inherited anyway!
Greedy.
@@nutbuster66684 He’s a snobby, entitled monster who’s been given way too many opportunities and lived life on easy mode. Why work your ass off at your dad’s store when you can become rich day trading and doing jack sh*t the remaining 80% of the day?
I mean he’d been handed the winning lottery ticket at the orphanage. Imagine getting adopted from Ukraine as a baby and then to grow up in a loving home and have a comfortable childhood without money problems. What more could you want? Just proves that psychopaths are born, not made. But his lack of emotional connection, no guilty conscience and his devilish greed for money helped push him over the edge
@@nutbuster66684
My guess is they overindulged Nick which led to his entitled attitude. Its likely they suggested him working in the fam business but he didnt want to because he wanted all the benefits but not the work.
Imagine having parents who can just casually loan you thirty thousand. Most of us arent that lucky. How dare he throw away such a generous and lovely parents.
Couldn't agree more
Omfg why was I thinking this when it was first mentioned in the video!!
With 19 years old!
and adopt you meaning to choose you over your blood to have you.. so heartbreaking 💔
My father who was moving had a mirror in his garage I said dad I need that mirror,he said give me $10 😮I'm like huh he said I could sell that in a garage sale 😕😅
So yea not many parents will or can do that!
Corey’s phone calls are absolutely heartbreaking ☹️
ive listened to a lot of true crime so things don't usually shock me anymore but... wow that phone call brought me to tears. horrible.
I had shivers I’ve heard a lot of 911 calls and watched alot of true crime but this is truly the saddest thing I’ve ever heard 😭she can’t even speak
Are we gonna not talk about the absolute mic drop of the century that momma gave? “He doesn’t get to talk to me because ghosts can’t talk… and I’m supposed to be dead.”
Her delivery was so chillingly objective. If her head is full of more ruthless scorchers like that one, she’s gotta write a book.
I thought the same thing! I can't imagine her sadness and anger at what the child she loved so much did to her. Ultimate betrayal.
I love it!!💛🥰
Yes, she is so incredibly strong, my heart breaks for her
It’s always when the indulgent parents threaten to cut the purse strings that the narcissistic child decides to unalive them for money. There are so many stories like this.
true
There really is! I can think of 3 off the top of my head! The one I never can get over is the one where the dad, who had been shot, got up to get ready for work but dropped dead after getting the paper. Can’t remember the last name but remember it’s Italian. And it was his son and the refuses to give up on her son even though it was proved he shot her too.
What I wouldn’t have given to have loving, supportive parents!
Omg the fact that she wanted to go out there in case he was dying. I felt that. Ive been with my partner 13 years and i dont think i could stand to let him die without me. I think i would consider that the ultimate betrayal of our life together, for him to die alone , for someone to take his final moments from me. Every moment of my life i would be thinking about that. I dont think i could move on
Omg this comment made me so emotional 😢 how u worded this made me realize I would feel the exact same why about my partner. I could never move on knowing the legacy of his life included that chapter in it. I would be heartbroken forever.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Usually it seems like people fall on family in times like this, but wtf do you do when your family was a part of the murder? I can’t imagine how she feels. I’d need to be on self-exit watch for a long, long time if my partner was murdered. I couldn’t live without my other half.
😢
😿😿😿
Hope it doesn't happen to you then.
Bella,
I’ve waited for this day as I am Ted’s niece. I knew someone would one day cover it, and my heart dropped at the dateline episode. It never gets easier, I don’t think I can watch it but I know you did him justice.. the comments look promising. Coming across my last name on your page was so surreal…
I’m so sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine having someone I don’t know talking about my family. Bella always shows lots of respect and compassion. I hope you feel that from her. Rest In Beautiful Peace
@@lynnsmith3112 thank you, I appreciate your comment 🩷
I hope that you are doing well. Sending hugs to you
"He went with a gun to investigate, because you know...they lived in texas" 😂😂😂😂
Her face was so funny when she said that 😂😂😂
@@melinasantos7680 I watched 4x, it was funny and also so true 😂😂
Yes omggg I live in Texas and I was lolll😂😂😂
him jumping and turning around gave me the ick what a loser💀💀💀
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I THOUGHT THE SAME THIINNGGGGGG
I agree. That is really strange.
Literally so cringe ugh!
Right! What a weirdo! Acting like a toddler hyped up on sugar.
It would be hard to the fact that the kid you adopted, murdered your husband and tried to kill you, but also murdered the family dog too like that is fucked up
When she told her son, "I need you".. that hurt
the way he spun like a schoolboy gave me the BIGGEST ick 😭
So much CRINGE!
“He’s not going to get to talk to me because ghosts can’t talk. And I’m supposed to be dead” 😭 This poor woman lost her whole family, I can’t even imagine
We have a Turkish saying, "Besle kargayı oysun gözünü" which kinda means ´feed the crow and it will gouge out your eye´.. He murdered the person who took him away from poverty, all because of his greed... Poor Corey..
I’ve seen so many of these cases where people kill because they financially fucked the selves over and they panic. Not a good excuse considering plenty of people are in the same situation and don’t murder, BUT it does make me observe people a little closer. Like, I’m poor anyway but it’s scary that people will kill to get themselves out of debt or poverty.
That is interesting but also horrible because it subconsciously affects people to not trust crows or those in poverty who need their help
Acıma yetime döner koyar götüne….
@@SpijenIt always seems to happen because of greed. I remember tons of cases where the kid or kids murdered their parents for money. One that I recall also killed his sister, so that he wouldn't have to split the inheritance with her. The female children usually do it because their parent or parents are trying to protect them from a boyfriend who is a bad influence.😢
@@MadgeGreen yeah I totally see the pattern as well. Honestly, money can make people think terrible things. My mom committed financial fraud with my name/ssn so many times over the years that I owe a few thousand at LEAST that’s all from her stealing my info and saying she didn’t know how it happened. Recently I caught myself so mad at her I wanted to beat her ass, and I’m not even a violent person. I feel bad for even thinking that now that I’m cooled down, but that shows you just how badly things can get for people who are very violent in nature and/or are in an insane amount of debt/could inherit hella money. It’s scary, and why you should always be careful about money around people. There’s that whole case of a woman giving her friend like $30k to hold onto for her, but the friend spent it all and instead of telling the woman this when asked for the money back, the “friend” killed the woman instead. So fricking sad.
Her informing him that dad's dead 😢
😢
That phone call recording broke my heart 😞
God this so awful. Corey broke my heart at the end, I hope she finds some sense of peace. They gave their son everything and it wasn’t enough for him. So evil. 😔
My heart goes out to the wife. I can’t imagine what she went through on that day and every single day since. The trauma and betrayal. God bless her.
I have literally watched your videos for years! It actually inspired me to just follow my interest and I did a criminology degree, graduated last year. Now I’m working as a domestic abuse advocate and love my job! So big up Bella🫶🏻
Are you working in the govt?
Congratulations 👏 well done
Wow! That's awesome! Cheers to you, I hope you have the experience of helping many people in your work.
Love this for you!!
Congrats 🥳 I’m thinking about it too! Where did you study and was it hard?
not me tearing up when his mom told him that his dad died and then him being fully responsible. i feel stupid
Omg this was me too ugh he's awful
I mean the title of the video gives it away…😂
Breaks my heart for Corey that she went through the loss of her husband and then she was a suspect. And for...trying to claim the life insurance policy? He died, his financial contribution is gone and she still has to be able to live her life and have his funeral and relate services. Buy a plot if they didn't already have one, the headstone... That's the POINT of the policy. To pay for those things and try to buffer what's now gone. Ofc she was gonna claim it!
I don't understand why police is always so triggered by insurance policy claims. It's stated in the policy that you need to claim immediately after you incur the loss under the policy, otherwise they preserve the write not to pay.
@@Elena_______police look for motives to help them solve the crime, money is often a motive so that’s why they think claiming the insurance money is suspicious
We've discussed cases like this multiple times but it baffles me every time.
People gave you everything! Your life, love, attention, money, house to live in, money to spend. And this is what you do? Murder them in cold blood over a little money argument?????
this case makes me grit my teeth in anger. he was given just about everything to succeed and have a good life, yet he chose to kill/attempt to kill the 2 people who gave him all of those avenues. disgusting. i truly hope corey finds peace in any way she possibly can. it breaks my heart to think about the devastation and betrayal she must have felt. or even still does. this woman and her husband (and their doggo) deserved much better.
Jackie’s sentence was a slap on the face of the mom…the most ridiculous, lenient sentence ever!
The moment Corey called nick… harrowing..! she was obviously in shock even before she could say what happened and he doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t ask anything, he doesn’t say “are you ok?” Or “what’s wrong?”… he’s like “yes..? mom?” And then after she tells him dad’s dead, he waits and puts on the show “wait.. what?”…. It’s shocking to realize that he’s reaction is to the fact that , they are both supposed to be dead, but mom is calling him.. he’s like “yes mom?” Because he knows something went wrong with the plan, but still knows something is up.. he’s casually waiting for her to say what is up… and then when he knows, “oh ok, moms alive, dad’s not, I can act shocked now”. Evil. Also, the fact the girlfriend is out?!? They are both equally guilty in my book! Ridiculous!
I’m sure they didn’t expect the hit men to make it out alive. They would’ve known how armed the parents were.
That comment makes no sense 😅 how would they kill them when they were killed first?? They would not get any money if the goal was to kill the gun men😅😅😅😅
My heart breaks for Corey, I hope she is able to find peace.
I'm sad not only for Cory who lost her beloved husband and dog, but also the other dog who presumably witnessed their dad and dog friend's murders. It always hurt that little extra for me when pets are involved.
Absolutely disgusting that Jackie didn’t have a proper sentencing and jail time. The justice system is a joke. My heart goes out to Corey, this is so devastating. Nick is a disgusting selfish excuse of a person.
my heart aches for corey🥺 i can't even fathom the pain she felt. losing your husband and sweet fur baby, then finding out the person you loved with your whole heart, who you've bent over backwards for to give a comfortable life and his partner were the ones at fault - i truly just cant even wrap my head around it. jackie and nicks sentences are a joke! if i were corey, i'd probably end up in jail myself due to the anger i feel at the fact that the ones responsible for my partners murder are basically getting a slap on the wrist! true justice would have been all of the ones involved getting life without parole. i can't comprehend living my life knowing that the girl responsible in part for my husbands murder is just walking around living a normal life. i'm honestly just disgusted that THIS is how big of a joke our justice system is!
The title of the video gives the away the story for those who wouldn’t have known.
RIP Ted ❤
I think with the photo of the family with two kids in it- and her not focusing on the son as a suspect for so long- I was like is there a son she’s not talking about to build suspense?? 😅
Imagine being the mom to Ted, Tim & Tom and trying to yell at one of them😅
I hope you'll cover the case of michele avila, her mom also unknowingly lived w her killers after her murder, giving them a plane to stay so they could feel closer to her daughter to grieve w her. Absolutely heartbreaking
Is this the one they made a film of it with Kerri Russel? That was so sad 😢
@jbrady445 no I'm pretty sure that movie was based on the murder of Adrienne Shelly
@jbrady445 Michele Avila's case is sadly mostly unknown I don't think any movies have been based on it
@@jbrady445 the michele avila movie has Tiffani Amber Thiessen and Patty Duke. I think it's called A Killer Among Friends.
This case is so heartbreaking in so many ways. A woman loses her husband, two brothers have lost their baby brother, and it was all because of a greedy selfish son who the couple had the heart to give a home and a family through adoption! I hope Nick, his girlfriend and everyone else involved in the murder rot in hell and that Ted rests in piece and that Corey and the rest of Ted's family finds healing and peace.
You are radiant and glowing. What a change of scenery can do. Your happiness and joy are infectious.
bella, this is very off topic but i find your accent to be so comforting for some reason!! thank you for your amazing work sharing these cases with us 💗
I genuinely find it odd that all coverage of this case focuses so much on his adoption. The adoption was irrelevant. Children kill their parents and vice versa, which is horrible. But the adoption doesn't have anything to do with it.
The best surprise is opening your TH-cam app and seeing a video you just posted a min ago. Hope you’re doin well with your move ❤
I live in Austin, and never heard about this! 😔 born and raised here.
I was just about to comment the same thing! Not born and raised here, but currently living here and never heard of it!
Same all my life! and never heard of this
You guys get guns for birthdays and give it to children, but you dont read papers and news and learn things 😅
I love to watch your videos, the stories you cover are so interesting and not the well-known cases that have already been covered by countless true crime youtubers. Thank you Bella 💕 And enjoy your visit back at home in Australia 🫶🏻
My heart is shattered for Corey. What awful heartbreak.
Thank God the mother survived 😢😢😢
How can someone be so evil?! These people literally saved his life and gave him everything he needed, protected him, supported him, etc. Many children could only dream about a childhood he had. Pure evil. 😔 Corey‘s 999 calls are heartbraking.
The only thing I don't agree with when people talk about this case is saying "they adopted their killer" the adoption has nothing to do with this. He was their child. The same as if she birthed him. Their CHILD committed this. And I think it can be harmful in creating a stigma around adopted children.
Idk I've seen quite a few true crime stories where an adopted child turned out to be the perpetrator against their family. Maybe there are common factors regarding emotional development and the ability to bond with adopted parents.
Right! There are so many cases of biological children killing their parents but you don't see people saying stop having children because they may become killers
Side note: you always stunning in your videos but idk something about the sweater you’re wearing, your hair, the lighting? Idk something here makes you look even more stunning!! Obsessed makes me wanna dye my hair back to dark brown
would really love to hear you do one on Nurul Huda Abdul Ghani (Malaysia). This case shocked the entire nation.
Upload time is immaculate Bella! Have the best time back in Oz when you leave to visit!! X
I love how you go into detail about information
As much as I love money, I would never ever in my life take somebody’s life for it, especially my parents!! That’s beyond sick. I pray Corey finds her peace and happiness, I can’t imagine how hard it is to lose not only your husband, but your son as well. Jackie, or whatever her name is deserve to get the same sentencing or more as Nick!! I hope her karma gets her one day. Great video Bella I love watching your videos every Monday lol😂❤️
Beyond sick. This case is so heartbreaking.
Absolutely fantastic video mate, thank you
Loved the video but i do wish it wasnt given away in the title. Wouldve been much better to keep it a mystery x
hi bella! i love your videos and watch them every week you upload. i’m hoping you can cover a missing person case that is my aunt deanne hastings. she went missing in 2015 and nothing has ever been done to help solve her case. our family would love to get more attention to this and maybe hopefully receive more answers. thank you 💗
Wow. It deeply saddens me how Nick could do something like that to his adopted parents who gave him everything. My heart cries with Corey as she was betrayed and stabbed on their back by their adopted son and daughter-in-law. And I believe Jackie was more involved in all of these and that she should have given a longer sentence.
My ghad. What a monsters! I hope they will be haunted by their crimes ‘til the end.
Truly heartbreaking case. I feel for Ted, Corey and the dogs ❤❤
Oh my my jaw dropped when I found out it was the son 🤯 He had everything but he threw it all away dooming himself
had to pick my jaw up off the floor but only after wiping the countless tears away from those heart breaking phone calls of corey’s💔
This is so absolutely devastating. Her call to her son is heart wrenching. May peace come to the family and friends
Omg yes Bella! Another video so soon ❤
The pain that surged through my body when she cried over the phone asking Nick that she needs him and dad's dead💔💔💔 oh my dear Father in heaven.
“bc ghosts can’t talk & im supposed to be dead” was a great line there. my heart is with her 😢
Unrelated to the case but that colour jumper really brings out your eyes (at least to me) so pretty!
I never heard of this case before, Bella, so thank you for bringing it to us in your absolutely wonderful accent. I feel so sorry for the mom. She wanted so bad to run to her husband's side. I had tears running from my eyes. My husband and I have been married for 20 years and I can so relate to that. He was her soulmate and best friend. I don't understand how children can murder their loving parents. It makes no sense. Then again, evil makes no sense.
You can get UV sticky adhesive to put on the window whichll help with the glare
Hi!, can you do the case of Laura ronning of camp cuyuga?, my mom left the camp THE NIGHT she was killed, she had a bad feeling and left
I've just read about Laura, my goodness it breaks my heart. Her poor family. I really really hope that some online creators cover her case as it seems like one of those "someone must know something" cases.
when Corey said "ghost cant talk and I am meant to be dead" gave me chills
Love you and the way you give us this content ❤
Great way you told the story!
I literally just grabbed my phone because I was like “Bella said TWO videos this week where is it, did I miss it?” & your notification was RIGHT THERE 🤣
Thank you for sharing this story that shows that kindness is a fight against a freakishly ruthless world.
It's so sad and evil that there was no gratitude on Nick's side for all his parents did for him. There are children of biological parents who were never this wanted.
The second you said they adopted a kid, I just knew it would be him. I hoped I was wrong but there was so many stories like this. Sometimes I think adopted kids don't always end up loving their adoptive parents the way the adoptive parents love their kid. they just view them as people who gave them a house & money.
What about the kids who aren't adopted?
Helloo
Thanks for this❤
Love from Fiji ❤
it kills me how many great kids grow up in foster systems unwanted and alone without a family and something like this happens. how sick and ungrateful nick was to take a great, loving family for granted that SO many others spent and spend their lives wishing they had. disgusting. and to think he could get out one day... hopefully he is very uncomfortable in prison.
Let that sun shine! You look beautiful Bella!
Bella b telling some wild cases but u wanna watch bcuz of the "HI! It's Bella!😁" it's like the good news b4 the bad😂😂😂
Your videos never show up in my suggested or whatever. I haven’t watched one in years even though I’m a subscriber. It’s so weird. I just made sure I got a notification for every video. 🎉❤
I couldn’t stop admiring your hair 😍
Please share where you’ve gotten your hair cut in London x
Well explained, thanks for the detailed information.
So happy you posted!!! ❤
Have a great trip home. Can’t wait to see another video though😉!!❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
As someone from Austin ,I’ve never heard of this case omg!!!!
We love you Bella ❤
Hi Bella, I hope everything is okay with you? I’ve been checking every day for a new mystery Monday video. Sending love💗
Me too ❤😢
We have 3 adopted nieces. Excellent human beings! Adoption is NOT what makes them hurt someone. It just so happens that the people adopting have a little bit of money that they worked very hard for. They were unable to have a child of their own. So they want a child so bad, they decide to adopt and give a child in need a better life. The power of the 🍑 or the 🍆 blinds kids to do dreadful things. Rest In Beautiful Peace Ted
Oh my god, poor Corey. 😢
I can’t imagine how she feels. How absolutely heartbreaking 💔
Nick and Jackie probably got married so they wouldn't be forced to testify against each other.
Mmm sounds possible.
I’m thinking Jackie convinced him to marry her to secure her finances. Maybe something would have happened to nick next. Who knows.
She needs to be in prison what she did but instead she is now free walking around in the streets again. Pathetic and very pathetic sentencing
the saddest part was that he shot the dog :( and corey's phone call to 911 was just truly so sad.
This story broke my heart the first time I heard it. Plus, these stories of kids killing their parents, especially when they were supposedly close to their parents, are terrifying. I recently told my grown daughter about my life insurance and how much she would get. Then I looked at her and said, “Don’t get any ideas. You’ll probably never get it if I’m murdered.” She couldn’t believe I said that, but I watch too much true crime to think it wouldn’t be possible.
Ted and Bart's killer
I'm deeply sorry for Bart. He was murdered while trying to protect his family. He deserves so much more acknowledgement
How do you do this to anyone let alone family. What a monster
Yeah, Jackie got away with murder, she is a monster. But Nick is worse and it's too bad he was able to find sociopaths so easily to kill for him. It's all horrific.
at least hes in jail unlike jackie
I love your accent & you’re a great story teller/narrator!! 😍😍
Hi Bella Glad to Be Here
32:51 this is exactly why they ask for my license and ssn when I try to deposit money into my dad's account for him 😂
Not about the story but I just moved to Australia and didn’t realize MAFS was such a big thing here! But it’s amazing!
Nick: *kills father*
Also Nick: “That’s not who I am”
liking your hair, great story telling as well
I hope you are enjoying Queensland Bella ✌️❤️🇬🇧
