    If you are thinking of cheating on your spouse, don't, just leave. And if you find out your spouse is cheating on you, and you are thinking of revenge, don't, just leave. The relationship is over at that point anyway.

      In 1988, my whole family went to my cousin's funeral after his motorcycle accident. The seating area was filled, and we heard one Bearded Biker Dude whimpering and crying. I had seen him before and felt sorry for him - not many men at the time would be that public about their emotions. My dad (a POW from WWII) looked over and observed him for a few seconds and whispered, "That guy's a phony. I wonder what else he's trying to do." A month later, my cousin's mother - my aunt - called my dad to step in to find out why BBD is now claiming her son's house, land, and property belong to him because they were friends. No contract or written agreement was ever found. My aunt was hoping that she could pay for his funeral out of the money she could have made from selling his property, since she was the only living relative. Dad knew why, fixed it too.

    I was one of the people who worked alongside her family and community as a volunteer grid searcher. I lived in the direct area this occurred at the time, her car was found abandoned a couple of blocks from my house. It is supposed after he left the cat he likely ran through the wooded field behind my house in order to make his way home. I spoke with him personally while on the many days of searching. We all knew he did it and knew we were looking for her body. He would show up in brand new looking outdoor clothing while most of us were muddied, covered in burrs etc, I never once saw him engage in any of the searches even though he would show up. He hugged me at a benefit that was thrown before her body was found and while he was still pretending he was innocent and thanked me. It made me feel sick that her family, law enforcement the searches all endured this POS while that gorgeous woman was missing.
    Katrina and family. I still hold you all dearly in my heart and still have the bracelet with her name on it.
    She was so loved by many who didn't even know her.

      Of course it was. This is what happens when people play with other's emotions. She brought it on herself. Was he wrong for killing her, of course, but she caused it by playing with his emotions. She is a clear example of why I always say to never associate with anybody that cannot be faithful to their partner. If you cannot be loyal to your wife, husband etc, then you cannot be loyal to anything or anyone. Saying the guy was living a double life is comical, because she was the one living a double life, and pushed him to do the same. The truth is they were both horrible people.

It is not about what you think is or is not worth it, it is about what the person thinks, and you never know what others are thinking. When you push some people, they will snap. Again, she brought this on herself. People need to grow up, stop lying to others, stop playing games with others, and if they cannot be loyal, then do not be in a relationship.

This what bothers me they want they came & to eat it as well. Most young Women today are all looking to marry young good looking rich men which accounts for 1 percent of men today. They want to work make money but at the same time be married to a good looking rich man & when years go by & eventually have to settle down for some one below their standards it always ends in divorce or sadly in this case death.

      Feel awfully sorry for her to loose her precious life at an young age. Even if she cheated it doesn’t mean she get killed, Todd could hv divorced and moved on, but this wretched scoundrel dog
      did his evil act out of vengeance . It’s good he will live his entire life with rapists and murderers like him .

    Restraining orders don't work. If you have an angry ex who's determined to hurt you, it just doesn't help. I'm so glad she survived.
    These domestic cases are really sad. I was threatened multiple times by my ex husband when I left him. I went to the police multiple times and told them he was threatening to kill me. They told me he was probably just trying to scare me. I told them about his arsenal and that he was extremely angry, drinking all the time, and using drugs. They still didn't listen. I lived in a small town, and started getting word that he had offered a few people money to kill me. I literally lived in fear because he'd attempted to kill me once when we were married and still together. Fortunately, or unfortunately, he found another girlfriend. When she realized how controlling and volatile he was, she left him right after he went to work and drove for hours to another state and hid for over a year. By then he'd married another woman. She divorced him seven years later. I don't know what happened to him after that except that he became a religious fanatic.

They think this makes them sound so sad that no one will suspect them of being involved but it has the opposite effect on me. I hear it and I think, "Yep. That's the guy!"
    I have just learned that Todd Smith is not his name and I find that incredible. He has assumed a new name and yet he still thinks it is okay to go on TV every night pleading for the return of his wife. Did he not consider the possibility that someone who knew his real name and that he had attempted to burn his family's house down with them inside it, just MIGHT see him on TV and call the police to tell them who he really is? The boy is not overly bright.

Married “boyfriend”is sending her texts that say tell him you demand divorce. But he’s not divorced. And they’re coworkers. And we’ve got a narcissist husband who’s suspicious of wife ( apparently with good reason) and commits murder after tracking her every movement. Then he cries on tv for the cameras.

Is it because they are being held hostage and being mistreated? Tied up & starved etc? Especially with dependent children. Are they being fed, cleaned, cared for properly. The mind racing with all sorts of negative scenarios flowing thru the mind. I feel terribly for the loved ones. They definitely need to rally around one another for emotional support. if the culprit is amongst the ppl who are coming together in support it’s such a deeper betrayal & cold soulless action.

    Coworkers are easy to fall for when there is trouble at home since more time is spent at work willingly or unwillingly. ppl can pick up overtime just to get away from the stress*, turmoil & emotional distance at home. She was a step mom to 3 & with a man she no longer wanted. Being the bread winner in that relationship & caring for the 3 girls she married into would be hard. I could imagine how rough it was for her. The lover on the side egging her on to leave didn’t make it any easier as he hurried her to leave.

    Another proper covert narcissistic psychopath. I wish APD/NPD would be publicly announced after someone commits violent crimes. A 17 yr old setting the house with his sleeping parents and brother on fire, and then blaming it on issues with his mother? That's serious enough to need to protect the public from him.
    He looks so timid and sweet. It really helps show that we should never judge the book by the cover. His game was so good that it took her years to see through his mask. I know I would have assumed he looks like a sweetheart if I met that face in public.
    Poor Katrina is a terrible reminder to all of us.

    I remember being part of the search parties looking for Katrina Smith. There were so many searches in the woods behind my ex boyfriend's house...
    & the neighborhoods felt like on lock down everywhere we went.
    If you weren't working or physically stuck at home, you were out searching.
    We hoped someone would find her alive...
    Never believed he wasn't involved, he was not believable at all.

    If the marriage is over just leave. Do it quietly and as quickly as possible. Don’t start a new relationship or live in the house with the person you are leaving especially if they know you are leaving or in a new relationship. Tell as many people as possible what is going on so your friends and loved ones can speak up for you if the worse happens.
