bequeathing someone with “best wishes” is ICONIC. But also shows his father knew Brian was a snowball that would turn into an avalanche one day or another. I’m so happy Ana’s friends are trying to adopt the three children.
@@bripearce45 It might be bc she thinks it’ll be difficult for them to become accustomed to Serbia all of a sudden, or she might want them to have better opportunities in America.
It's just the beginning, but already, how sad that these beautiful, smart women settle for these lazy men. It's clear she's brings pretty much everything to the table while he doesn't and that must have really hurt his ego. Also I am so incredibly sad these boys had their mother taken from them, it's heartbreaking
I worked with a beautiful, talented woman who had a loser husband. He never had a job. He said he had a bad back so she did all the yard stuff. He didn't even take the kids to orthodontist appointments, she had to take time off work to do it. She had money from her previous husband's life insurance and the current husband spent it going to UFO conferences and to travel to watch Space X launches. We'd ask why she put up with it and she just said she made a promise and she was going to keep it. I think he gaslighted her and made everything he did look like it was her fault. Like he had a job opportunity in another state but she didn't want to move. So he acted like it was a sacrifice for her to not take the job so she can't complain that he isn't working. It was awful to witness.
Unfortunately, that just goes to show that nobody is too smart to be abused. What continually angers me is how often women are treated as disposable once they become inconvenient or displeasing.
INFO: The conversation Ana had with her mom is being misreported in international media. Her mom actually shared the text messages with Serbian news and I've seen and read them. Ana texted her on Dec 25th asking her to please come to Washington the next day. Her mom asked why she was asking her now and didn't give her more notice. Ana said that her and Brian weren't getting along, her mom asked what about, and Ana responds its about the kids. Her mom says that she can come in a week's time and she needs to pick up her prescriptions before coming and Ana begs her to please come the next day, for two months. Her mom asks what time the flight would be but that it would still be best for her if she could come in 7 days. They make some plans for her arrival. The next day Ana says that she might not need to come after all. Her mom is confused and asks how come, what now? Ana says they are making a plan (presumably her and Brian). Her mom says she won't come then and Ana says ok. That was her last message to her mom. It was chilling to read.
@@dianedesaintpierre3573 I doubt it. She was seen alive after those texts were sent. Brian surely doesn't speak Serbian and the texts don't help his case at all. Besides, why would he want her mom to get on a flight and come there if he had done something?
I meant I think he could have sent the « you don’t need to come after all » one. He probably doesn’t speak Serbian fluently but could know enough words to send a text. Or he could have used an app to translate.
This man (allegedly) murdered his beautiful wife and the mother of his three kids and then threw her away like trash? Allowed her to be incinerated with other peoples household trash? If he did this, I hope he never finds a moment of peace again. This is vile.
I'm with you. The whole story is beyond words. Every time I've heard anyone cover this story, when they get to the part about him dismembering her body and throwing her away, my mind almost can't comprehend. My daughter and I pray over frogs and spiders when we find them dead in our driveway (we live in the south, it happens often during the summer months)... I cannot even comprehend what it would be like to just FIND or SEE my husband dead. And this dipshit was able to not only *allegedly* kill her, but then mutilate her body & throw her away? I cannot. My brain is unable to reconcile that. ALSO- I'm with you on hoping he never finds peace. Unfortunately, I feel like he probably will be unbothered. He may be a little uncomfortable at the moment, but eventually I'm sure he will adapt to prison, and in the end he gets exactly what he's always wanted... To be taken care of and not have to deal with/worry about anything at all... I hate this man.
@@MrsLindsC6 I think what frightens and disgusts me most is that he could consider someone as disposable garbage, when he literally built a life with that person. She seems to always have had his back even when he behaved like... this. I'm absolutely flabbergastet by this mans coldness. But yeah, you're unfortunately right... he'll be just fine. His kids will never be :( blessings to you and your daughter
@@justcallmeaj4105 absolutely agree!! I’ve been the woman who was far too loyal to the wrong man at one point in my life. Its tragic that she didn’t end up with someone who would ride for her equally hard. If nothing else, maybe there’s a lesson here… behind every piece of shit man is a woman or women who have enabled their shitty behavior. I feel like that needs to be on a tshirt. Blessings to you as well!
@@leenaholmes2271 while I absolutely agree that there is no doubt in my mind that he did this, technically he hasn't been convicted yet. So as of now it's if and allegedly :( I hope that justice will be served in this case but as we all know: our justice system is broken
What the fuck? Omg. I know the problem with indigenous women and girls "going missing" (aka: getting assaulted and murdered) is really *BAD.* But 30 in a single month in a single state in the US?!?! 😢 Good God. I'm seriously wondering if there's a serial killer in South Dakota targeting indigenous women & girls after hearing about the high numbers of indigenous women & girls that go missing, and how the police don't do a damn thing to investigate and find these women. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. Something HAS GOT to be done to stop this shit. Idk a good solution besides free transportation for indigenous women & girls in areas with high disappearance rates since many get murdered while hitchhiking because they can't afford a vehicle or a ride share/taxi. But who's gonna pay for that? The government doesn't give a shit obviously because they don't care about indigenous people at all, otherwise they'd be doing way more to help the people they stole this country from. 😤 This is friggin insane. Just.... 😮💨
Stephanie, have you heard about there being 30 missing people in South Dakota just since New Year’s Day? This may be something to shed more light on. Love from Illinois ❤️
Depending on what type of agreement Ana had entered into with the tenants she was trying to evict, the tenants could be right that she can’t just kick them out to sell the place. If they had signed a lease, Ana would be legally responsible to allow them to stay till the end of the lease, or go through the eviction process which has guidelines. So the tenants could have been in the right here depending on the type of agreement; in most places in North America, tenant rights outweigh owners rights.
If I worked at Home Depot, I would think everyone buying bleach, trash bags, tarps etc. was cleaning up a murder. I mean, how many cases have we seen where the idiot killer goes to the store that has cameras everywhere and buys a murder clean up kit and doesn't even mix in some other items to not look so suspicious? 🤣
@@rhiannon7163 although that would be great, it’s unrealistic. There’s too many people who are cleaning their house to move, or painting and cleaning, decluttering, etc. where buying those things makes perfect sense. I think they would need more direct evidence. When I worked in a daycare I was a mandated reporter & you couldn’t report someone for their baby being anxious and crying all day, BUT, if the baby is calm and playful all day until it’s time to use the potty, and they scream and cry and kick us away…that’s some pretty direct evidence that someone made this baby scared out their mind of the potty (aka more direct evidence that someone hurt the baby related to potty training). Babies aren’t just scared of the toilet! But there are reasons why someone would need bleach, tarps, box cutters, etc. even if it is suspicious
Having worked at Lowes as the paint department manager that isn't such a strange mix. People who are painting think that bleach is a great cleaner before painting especially if they have mold growing on the walls (news flash its not). So bleach along with trash bags and rags for clean up, and tarps or plastic wrap are all purchased by 95% of people looking to paint. That would be a lot of people under suspicion, but I like the way you're thinking.
It is so chilling to think you can be sharing your life and your home with someone and they are harbouring such deep resentment towards you that it could lead to your death.
More like it’s sad when you’re completely dependent on someone who provides for you and does literally everything but when your deadbeat ways get old you don’t get off your ass or just accept that you’re getting a divorce so you have the nerve to murder the woman who took care of you just to get even more of her money
@@JennifuhhGilardi this is why I’m for the death penalty. People like him need to know that if you take the life of your spouse, you won’t get to languish in jail for the rest of your days - you will get taken out too 💁🏼♀️
53:08 last I heard, if it’s your property and you have gone through the legal proceedings, that property is still your property. That is the unfortunate gamble people have to play when you rent from people. Just because you say, “no I’m not leaving,” does not mean you won’t get kicked out from a property that ain’t yours. At the end of the day, it’s not your property.
As a Serbian woman watching this I feel extremely sad for her children, I’m only 21 minutes into the story but my heart breaks for her entire family 😢 this one hits differently
I was thinking the same thing. If ever there were a series to throw out the "allegedly" word left and right it was that one. I knew she was still going to end up being on their sh*t list anyway. They are so ruthless to anyone who publicly says anything negative about them. Sad that the threats must have been serious enough to stop, which is completely understandable. I hope she can pick it back up again in the future when its safe enough to do so.
Anyone else read the headlines for these stories in the news and skip reading them and just wait for Stephanie to cover them because u know she will have all the info u need and that u can trust its well researched? Love u Miss Harlowe! 😘
This is horrific! Who tf could actually think “yeah, this is a good idea. I will get away with it”?! Like, no matter how much I hate someone, I could NEVER! This poor woman. I feel so bad for her and those poor boys! Aw their poor mom!
It is so scary for women out here… we’ve heard the story hundreds of times, but I’m still shocked and horrified. Will be interested to see if anything more comes out about their relationship. Those poor boys 😢
It’s honestly such a ripoff to be a woman. Burdened with everyone’s shit and still blamed for it. It’s really a sick joke in my opinion, I don’t understand why more women aren’t enraged at the injustices we face. Probably because yet again we get picked on for being psycho feminists for not loving the bullshit that men surely wouldn’t stand for themselves.
I had horrible luck with Hellofresh when I tried it. The food was delivered two days late frequently. Produce would be spoiled/bruised. A few times the meats were open & bled all over the box. Plus the amount of dishes they expected you to use but make it sound so easy & quick. Never done in 15 mins (and Im not a rookie cook,) small portions, plus all the dishes afterwards.
I lived in Massachusetts most of my life, and this broke my heart. She was trying to leave him, he ensured that did not happen. I ache for her poor children 😭 Ladies stop marrying these men, not only do you have to pay to get rid of them but may also legitimately lose your life. Stay safe and never put anything past anyone. EDIT : EVERYONE DODGE ALL BRIANS THEY ARE BAD NEWS LOL 😂
Prayers for her poor babies that are left without a loving mother!! It just makes me furious to see this keep happening!! I talk to my granddaughter(more than she likes) a lot about this very thing. Ladies please quit settling and know you are worth the best!!!! No losers need apply!!! Thank you Stephanie for the video and for being a wonderful role model for female empowerment. Love and blessings💕💕💕💕
The very young children only saw their mother on the weekends. They were being raised by their sociopathic father and I’m not sorry that he will no longer be able influence the boys. They are the most obvious victims of this tragedy.
I’m from Massachusetts but living in Belgrade, Serbia and watching this case unfold has been heartbreaking. I feel so bad for this woman and her loved ones 😞
@@katinchina1996 There are a lot of reasons 😊 The people here are so genuine and kindhearted, the language is beautiful, the history and culture are fascinating…and of course the food is really delicious 😂 I never planned to stay so long here, but I’ve really fallen in love with the country. That all being said, I know Serbia definitely has its problems, and a lot of people here have very difficult lives as a result of those. I hope everything gets better ❤️
@@emel3925 One of my best friends is from elsewhere and has been living in Serbia (not Belgrade) for years. She is well aware of all the issues. But she loves her life here, nature, hikes, small villages, old folks that sell her eggs, cheese, and rakija whilst she is trying to talk to them in her broken Serbian. Having her as a friend made me realize I don't appreciate intricacies, and that being too negative about Serbia makes me miserable. Thank you for having nice words about the country. In times like this, we face more hostility than kindness.
@@panajotov I’m glad your friend likes it here too 😊 My Serbian is also very broken, and I’m grateful that people here have been so patient with me while I learn 😂 I think it’s easy for all of us to focus on the negative aspects of our home countries, but seeing it through someone else’s eyes can be a nice new perspective 😊
@@katinchina1996 Tell me about a 'place' where 'things are getting better by the day'? World is in an 'uproar', pretty much. This is the biggest crisis since WWII in every way. There is no 'here' or 'there' that will be 'better' anytime soon. This is time when you want to surround yourself with family and friends you could help or be helped in any way and get through it and think about priorities. There is that old local joke, when gypsy is asked what he will do if 'end of the world occurs' to which he replies that 'he will just go to Germany'. Yeah, it`s not 'end of the world' but it will be quite 'bumpy' for sure, and anyone who is even vaguely informed about Germany or other places, it`s pretty much the last places one would go, since this isn`t local crisis, or 'government is bad' type of thing. In such a situtation the last thing one wants is to be in a place where he barely knows anything about local issues, surrounded by strangers, languages and all other disorienting, unfamiliar aspects. Serbia is home, in every sense. No one will make it better, no one is coming to 'save us' or make things better for us or anyone else in the areas they live. If you don`t have sense of belonging or responsibility and obligation that`s entirely different thing which you will have to deal with. With that said, not knowing if you believe in God or not, i will still say, remain hopeful and God bless you and everyone around you! Бог благословио тебе и све твоје!
This is a tough case Stephanie! Nobody covers it like you do! My heart goes out to those poor little boys. We can only hope that justice is served. Thanks for your very thorough deep dives!
"Can luminal detect blood? Yeah that's kind of its main job!" Love that the level of Sass is inherently related to how stupid the questions were. Love you stephanie
Just a side note that made me laugh…during your hello fresh part you mentioned eating at 2am your leftovers. I’m eating my leftovers at midnight MST aka 2am est. I’m also from NH/MA area. Thank you so much for covering this case. I’ve been researching and watching videos about it and I’m heart broken for her children. The world is a bit darker with her gone 😢
Please, please, do NOT give the children to his family. When he turned out to be this selfish coldhearted violent adult, a narcissist, there is a high chance that there is something wrong with his family. Narcissists are raised, mostly. Another thing - Ana reported him to the police, long before they got married. (As said in another true crime video, another channel.) She claimed that he was threatening her with killing her and her friends. Sadly, she stopped cooperating with the police, so he was not investigated/punished. I don't understand, why they got back together, married and had kids after such experience. He must be a great manipulator, and her heart is too emphatic. RIP Ana
You hit the nail on the head. A bad childhood can be an explanation for how someone is, but it's not an excuse for their bad behavior in adulthood. You have to take responsibility for your own healing and get help if necessary to change, on your own volition.
B sounds like a malignant narcissist. He is likely to be lying about the family abuse growing up. I know the type and I have every sympathy with his late father. I've had to cut toxic relatives out of my life due to the chaos as well. It's really destructive.
Regarding the Silva's, the reporting I saw it was stated that they had a verbal agreement and were renting to own/owner financed the apartment. So, to me, it does seem valid for them to be upset when being told the apartment was being sold out from under them.
He sounds like my ex. Still regulating my nervous system, at least I am lucky to still be alive and that my daughter at least has 1 parent. How scary that these people walk among us and are always so charming.
Same. My ex is a hero in the community (he’s very visibly supporting his new girlfriend and her terminally ill child,) and I’m over here watching these stories thinking, “Wow. I’m really lucky I got out before he killed me.” Because believe me, that was coming. It’s an unpopular opinion, apparently, but 100% true.
My ex has a very similar personality to this man, as well. Depending on who you talk to, people who are new to him think he’s wonderful and amazing. People who have known him for longer than a few years, he’s screwed over almost all of them. The only person who stands by him is his own mother, and she’s just like him. He has a preteen daughter who refuses to talk to or see him, because she’s witnessed how the way he treats people change suddenly when they don’t play into his narrative. After we broke up, his “baby momma” (a wonderful woman I wasn’t allowed to be close with during our relationship) became one of my closest friends, and we’re always scared he and his mother could do something like this to someone and it could impact his daughter.
THANK YOU officer Wallace!!!! I’m SO THANKFUL this young lady got away and the bad guy is caught. And thank you Stephanie and Derrick for covering this case!
That smile on his face pretty much says it all. I bet he won't be wearing his robe around all day in prison. Those google searches are going to be the final nail....rightfully so. RIP Ana, you and the kids deserved so much better
Steph…I swear that for every psychopath murderer…there seems to be a twin flame attorney to flagrantly opine the supposed acumen of their client. Both are equally culpable for procuring their delusions of grandeur…and neither could exist without the other.
He might have well have searched "How to dispose of wife's body after murdering her". Some people don't deserve to have a spouse or kids. This is the first time in a long time I caught a coffee and crime time early lol. Great video as usual.
Beautiful Stephanie… mesmerising lady, intelligent and so assertive… a WONDERFUL role model to us all! Plus, that intro song makes us fall in love again and again! All of your channels and presentations are always so thought provoking. After a few years with you, I’ve changed my attitudes many times, seen wisdom, change and more confidence within myself! Well done, this is your element, your calling… a NATURAL! So glad to witness your success and to be a part of it! 🕊️ Blessings…!
Its sad how familiar yet terrifying this is. Could you look into the 30 people that went missing from South Dakota? There's hardly any news coverage on it 💚💜
I looked into this case for a quiz in my ethics course back in mid-February. She had actually reported him to the authorities in DC for DV before they were married, and he threatened to kill her. I can't find the exact articles that I had accessed, but I do recall that one of her reports had actually escalated so far that the authorities were in the process of bringing this to court. If I recall correctly, neither one of them responded to the summons, so the authorities had no choice but to drop the case. I can't help but think that he threatened her into silence once he found out about the report. It was further complicated by the fact that it was reported in DC, and with her traveling back and forth and him residing in Mass, it was complicated. Being that they have record that she had reported him more than once, I wish it had been looked into harder, and some of her friends even corroborated what she had said. knowing about the threats that he had made pre-marriage and seeing her reports, posts to social media with the bruising and lacerations, and her friends testimonies, I can't help but think that this is yet another case of DV going under-investigated and it ended up escalating to the point where he got so mad during a fight and her killed her.
Just have read about the little girl killed by her caregiver in Oklahoma, Athena Brownfield! I would like a detailed coverage from my dearest Stephanie 💕💗💖 I'm horrified and angry right now , such a beautiful and precious little girl .
When I saw your comment I went and looked this up and came back to say that is horrendous! I read what the wife said her husband did, and did NOTHING to stop him! I just don't get people that sit back and allow shit like that to happen? If I failed a child like she did, even if the child was not in my care, I would literally not be able to live with myself. There is no way.
I had to laugh at the "Head & Shoulders" as praise comment. To me it will always be a medicated shampoo for people with dandruff.🤣 Made me wonder if he got that nickname for another reason than he thought. LOL.🤭
Thank you for covering this case! I mentioned it on your crime weekly news page but I didn’t realize you already had so much information! I grew up in Hingham and still live in MA and this case has been horrifying to watch unfold. You have found so much more than I realized was even out there yet. My heart aches for Ana and her boys. What a sick monster, taking his own sons mother away from them forever. I knew it was him, from the first news of this case breaking - but you’ve shared so much more evidence to prove that. I hope he never sees freedom for a day in his life again.
Those two secret agent impersonators did plead guilty last summer, but what is really remarkable is that they got bailed out pending trial, and were assigned to home confinement. Unbelievable. Something is way wrong with this picture. Thank you so much for the court docs!!
I live in Massachusetts only 20 minutes from Cohasset, that is a very elite and expensive town….it’s about 15-20 min from Boston. I feel absolutely horrible, it breaks my heart for her family because there’s no closure right now, not knowing where her body is or being able to have the proper burial for her is so sad….. god bless her and her family…..🙏🏻💕
Why did she even date this guy, let alone marry and have kids with him? He was a bum, on house arrest, no job, broke, and a scammer. He is physically unattractive and she was out of his league. Maybe she finally saw through him & was getting ready to divorce him. I cracked up at the “bath robe” comment
Unfortunately there are some families in Serbia that will see an American/Canadian husband as a kind of status symbol/bragging right...mind you it's mostly the more...rural people that think like this. I'm not saying that's the reason why she went with this dumbass but it is a mentality that exists. Edit: it may also be him manipulating her by faking a charming personality (see his conman past).
The best advice I can give with the way all these stories play out. Ladies learn how NOT to be manipulated! Don’t completely trust Anyone! Question Everything! And if something someone is trying to convince of doesn’t feel right…..Don’t do it!
I requested this for crime weekly but I am SO glad you covered this. It's truly devastating and it hits so close to home, being a western mass resident it hurts to hear about this! Love the video.
I'm currently listening to this whilst updating my resume. I didn't un click the "dictate" button, so my resume almost included a word by word paragraph by our Miss Stephanie. At least they would understand my obsession with true crime. 😄
Her poor kids, it’s so horrifying that their dads values money more than their lives. Because their lives are forever stamped now. I seriously hope they can bounce back from this ❤❤❤
This is a tragic case, but I couldn't help having a giggle fit over the "Divorce.... but for MEN" part. My mind instantly started creating Just For Men type commercials.
This hits close to home for me and just makes me happy I got out of my marriage when I did. I was the breadwinner, although my ex had a job, but got fired while I was pregnant with our first child and throughout our marriage couldn't hold down a job. He was never physically abusive, but emotionally abusive. While pregnant with our second child I saw his true colors and had to wait almost a year until I could afford a divorce. I did worry because of his temper that he might hurt me or the kids or worse. He was also part of the DD (formally the MRDD) because of his learning disability and his caseworker was of no value in helping me, but telling me to understand him more because of his disability. I have two cousins with almost the same disability and they don't act like how he did. I feel sometimes I got out in the nick of time because I feel things were escalating to the point he may have killed me because he was getting hostile. Please, if you can get out do it and don't be afraid to ask for help. It's just tragic that this keeps happening that even filing for a divorce or even threatening to divorce someone can get you killed. I pray those boys stay together and will be set to live with people who love them.
Please look into the disappearance of Brian Shaffer- I've heard so many disappearance cases but nothing like this one. He went to a bar with two friends and was seen on surveillance coming in but never coming out- and he hasn't been seen since. Plus the roommate/friend never put in a report. The story is always in the back of my mind.
I don't know why I was thinking she had covered Brian's disappearance before, but I guess it was a diff channel. That one has always bothered me also. I wouldn't mind her and Derrick picking that one apart.
“I’m head and shoulders “ 😂😂😂 That whole part was hilarious! (1:13:20) OMGoodness that was great hahahaaa! It’s a serious case and I’m not taking it lightly, but I’m loving the bag on this dude! I was pushed in to one as a kid by my mom and it was ridiculous. “I am worthy”…. Lord! Not that people should be walking around feeling unworthy when they’ve been decent people , but for dudes like this bozo?? Ugh!
_'Why would you bring your three young sons... to get milkshakes on a Tuesday morning?'_ ...Why, Stephanie? Well, that's easy: The milkshakes bring all the boys to the juice bar.
Another less than mediocre man destroys a much more successful woman, the mother of his children, leaving them orphaned and traumatizing them deeply for the rest of their lives. Because his ego is more important than anything else.
This is one of those cases that’s very close to home for me. I was born in Boston and have lived in Massachusetts practically my whole life. Absolutely breaks my heart, and I hope Ana is resting in peace and serenity.
I can't handle most true crime vids/podcasts cuz I'm very picky about the voice of the host. 😆. I love your voice and just everything about you. 💗 Thank you so much for all the work you do! Ps. Your hair is super adorable! 😍
This is so, so sad. I am from Belgrade and we all are in shock how terible this is. So sad for her children and her family. In Srebia most of us celibrate christmas 7th of January and i am so sorry for her mother that holydays will never be the same, nothing will. 😞😞😞😞🥺💔💔💔💔💔💔 thank you so much for doing this video.❤ love❤
“ Don’t bring Brittany into it she was going through it.” 😂 YES! My thoughts exactly. I always love your videos but especially all the shade you’ll throw to certain people.
Right. It wasn’t over a man and it definitely had nothing to do with Justin Timberlake. She had been married and had two kids and was either divorced or going through a divorce. It had nothing to do with JT. She could at least get the story right.
@@CLE-EA there are those including psychiatrists who believe that britneys spiral downward began with her inability to keep her relationship with JT. Since she had not developed the coping mechanisms she should have as she grew up, she was unable to cope with the breakup. her meltdown wasnt bc of jt, but it all started there. Obviously this woman that they quoted might have misunderstood that theory.
Excellent video! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and your incredible way of telling what happened and is going on. I wouldn’t have known otherwise. It’s tragic for those 3 little boys. All they know is that they have been taken away. Children see the very best in their parents. I’m sure they just want them and don’t know what’s happening. We can hope! Because this here, this is way too much for a child. There’s so many details and crazy stuff happening in this. So many things that in hind sight mean something..…. AND….M at 1:12:07 the picture of Ana, look closer at her left eye (our right). Below her outer brow there is a clear bruise and small cut. Exactly what it looks like when you are hit in the area because the skin is thin and close to the bone so it splits easily if met with an impact. It’s also what I notice as a clear makeup coverup for bruising. I am very familiar unfortunately with this and can spot it from far away. I immediately zoomed in on the dark mark in the small picture while watching on my phone. I tend to notice this sort of thing without even being aware until zooming in. It’s automatic most of the time. I believe her relationship was much more tumultuous and dangerous than anyone knew. Those poor kids💔
Thanks for covering this. There has been not that much on this case. It’s a trend that men marry foreigners and dispose of them if they want out. Marriage is sacred. People abuse it and think it’s something you can replace. They don’t value anything over their own ego.
Fyi regarding rental property. While owning a rental property u can sell it ,as it's yours. But, there are alot of buts. You can NOT make the Tennant move. You as the landlord have to keep the terms of the lease, regardless if you want to sell. So, if the tenant still has say 4mths on their lease; you can either wait until the 4 months is up to sell, buy out the remainder of thier lease or sell with them in it. BUUUT-then the new owner has to keep the original terms of the lease with your tenant.
Stephanie, I love the thoroughness and passion that you bring these stories to light. Your compassion shines through! I'm getting ready for surgery soon, and am all ready saving money aside to buy some of yours and Derrick's Criminal Coffee. I hope to make a purchase of the 3 different blends by end of February or March! I usually enjoy Starbucks (gingerbread has been my guilty pleasure of late!) And I also regularly use Locally Roasted Coffee from (Piñon Coffee Company) here in Albuquerque. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year !
I'm wondering if she knew how unstable he was? Did she pretend everything was fine, as she started making her exit plan. Did she call her Mom knowing that she'd need someone to care for the kids as she waited for him to be sentenced. Once he was found guilty, did she plan on divorcing him. It would be a great strategy 🤷♀️ She'd absolutely get full custody of her children and be free of him. Did she slip, or did he suspect something was coming down the pike, and a confrontation ensued? He's guilty as sin, no mistaking that, don't come for me! I'd love to know more about the two guys from the apartment building she's was managing. What were they up to? 😳 Thank you, Stephanie, for going the extra mile to give as information as possible!
I feel bad for her family in Serbia. They're on a different continent, so they have to rely on embassy and phones to remain in contact with the police...and I imagine there can be some language barrier which can make the process longer and more difficult. They also have to navigate different social and justice systems. I hope that there will be some justice and resolution for them.
This is just a minor thing, but when she talks about being a house wife/husband it brought up an ick that I always feel around this subject- house spouses are not sitting around loafing all day. We are managing the house like someone would manage a business. We are budgeting, tracking finances, making repairs and in putting into play steps towards future plans, we are grocery shopping and locating things to make the house function, doing chores so the house functions and caring for the needs of the people within the home. All this so that the person who is out there making the money for the household can focus on those things. It’s work and planning and organization when done well. I just don’t love that it gets portrayed as “just playing with the kids, going to the gym and stuff…”
My excitement when the RUclips notification went off was a bit embarrassing. I was just trying to find something to listen to while I clean my house, and there’s absolutely nothing better for that than Coffe and Crime Time!
Cohasset is one of the rich towns here in massachusetts, a lot of beautiful mansions. They filmed some of Witches of Eastwick there. The part where Jack Nicholson rolls across the grass in front of the church is in Cohasset Common.
It's possible that the rugs he bought at Home Goods were to replace the rugs that were in the house and the rugs found were the rugs originally in the house......🤔
I find it so hard to understand how someone can think that murder is a solution to your wife potentially leaving you and taking the kids. Now he’ll be “lucky” if he ever sees his kids, and he’s lost his freedom. When is that ever the best choice?!
I'd say the rugs could also have been bought to stage the home as replacements if there had been blood spatter on the homes original rugs during an attack.
I’m so sad these things happen. Some humans are disgusting. But I am grateful for double Stephanie today - this coffee and crime time and crime weekly. Thanks for all you do, Stephanie!
I was born in Italy but i live in Serbia, and as a true crime lover I’ve watched all videos on your channel. I must say that your pronunciation of victims name is almost perfect. I don’t know why you say that is bad when you slay it every time. Great video as always. Sending love and support ❤️
I am out of coffee so I am going to wait until I got some to watch this 😱 It has become part of my morning rituals to watch your Coffee and Crime Time 💖
When you got to the Sylva part, all I could think was never listen to a Sylva. Then you called her out for being catty and I about choked on my drink! All jokes aside, this is tragic. Those poor babies have lost not only their mother but also their father. Thanks for another well researched video Stephanie!
Bro I’m dying over the google searches. Omfg I played it back for my husband to listen. He literally gave the police a freaking play by play of your crime!
I don't know about Eastern European countries but there is a young girls' and women's dream in Russia to marry an American man and start living there. Most of these girls are really hard-working and ready to do everything to make their dream come true. She's so beautiful. Nobody deserves that.
I had heard that the tenants were upset with Anna because they had agreed that they were renting the home with the end goal of purchasing the home. The Walshes had agreed to that and then all of a sudden they came talking about selling the home to someone else.
Yes, it's pretty reasonable that tenants would be upset if suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with a demand for them to leave within a matter of months. Moving is very difficult and stressful. It is also understandably disconcerting when your property manager has some sort of emotional outburst or "meltdown" when discussing such matters.
In my early 20s, I got suckered into one of these cultish WAY over priced, secretive "life changing" programs. Looking back, it was a total scam. They were like 12 hr days, and it was a 4 day program.. they literally would yell, "IF YOUR BOSS DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE V TIME OFF FOR THIS PROGRAM, THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AT THAT JOB!" Such disgraceful manipulation, especially feeding on the weakest ones among us
Brian’s dad leaving him “well wishes” in his will 😭 I bust out laughing, ultimate mic drop
bequeathing someone with “best wishes” is ICONIC. But also shows his father knew Brian was a snowball that would turn into an avalanche one day or another.
I’m so happy Ana’s friends are trying to adopt the three children.
I wonder why Ana's mothers doesn't take them...
@@bripearce45 Could be because they are most like only US citizens
@Bri Pearce probably not healthy enough to become guardian to young kids
@@bripearce45 It might be bc she thinks it’ll be difficult for them to become accustomed to Serbia all of a sudden, or she might want them to have better opportunities in America.
best wishes xx
It's just the beginning, but already, how sad that these beautiful, smart women settle for these lazy men. It's clear she's brings pretty much everything to the table while he doesn't and that must have really hurt his ego. Also I am so incredibly sad these boys had their mother taken from them, it's heartbreaking
REALY LOST BOTH PARENTS WHY IS THIS THE SICK SOLUTION?
I worked with a beautiful, talented woman who had a loser husband. He never had a job. He said he had a bad back so she did all the yard stuff. He didn't even take the kids to orthodontist appointments, she had to take time off work to do it. She had money from her previous husband's life insurance and the current husband spent it going to UFO conferences and to travel to watch Space X launches. We'd ask why she put up with it and she just said she made a promise and she was going to keep it. I think he gaslighted her and made everything he did look like it was her fault. Like he had a job opportunity in another state but she didn't want to move. So he acted like it was a sacrifice for her to not take the job so she can't complain that he isn't working. It was awful to witness.
"Do you really have a dead body to dispose of, idiot?!"
This is just the heterosexual template. We all have to stop perpetuating this pattern
Unfortunately, that just goes to show that nobody is too smart to be abused. What continually angers me is how often women are treated as disposable once they become inconvenient or displeasing.
INFO: The conversation Ana had with her mom is being misreported in international media. Her mom actually shared the text messages with Serbian news and I've seen and read them. Ana texted her on Dec 25th asking her to please come to Washington the next day. Her mom asked why she was asking her now and didn't give her more notice. Ana said that her and Brian weren't getting along, her mom asked what about, and Ana responds its about the kids. Her mom says that she can come in a week's time and she needs to pick up her prescriptions before coming and Ana begs her to please come the next day, for two months. Her mom asks what time the flight would be but that it would still be best for her if she could come in 7 days. They make some plans for her arrival. The next day Ana says that she might not need to come after all. Her mom is confused and asks how come, what now? Ana says they are making a plan (presumably her and Brian). Her mom says she won't come then and Ana says ok. That was her last message to her mom.
It was chilling to read.
The last texts were probably actually from her husband.
@@dianedesaintpierre3573 I doubt it. She was seen alive after those texts were sent. Brian surely doesn't speak Serbian and the texts don't help his case at all. Besides, why would he want her mom to get on a flight and come there if he had done something?
I meant I think he could have sent the « you don’t need to come after all » one. He probably doesn’t speak Serbian fluently but could know enough words to send a text. Or he could have used an app to translate.
@@dianedesaintpierre3573 I think 🤔 so too
If I would txt my momma that she would been THERE asap. As I would
For ALL

This man (allegedly) murdered his beautiful wife and the mother of his three kids and then threw her away like trash? Allowed her to be incinerated with other peoples household trash?
If he did this, I hope he never finds a moment of peace again. This is vile.
I'm with you. The whole story is beyond words. Every time I've heard anyone cover this story, when they get to the part about him dismembering her body and throwing her away, my mind almost can't comprehend. My daughter and I pray over frogs and spiders when we find them dead in our driveway (we live in the south, it happens often during the summer months)... I cannot even comprehend what it would be like to just FIND or SEE my husband dead. And this dipshit was able to not only *allegedly* kill her, but then mutilate her body & throw her away? I cannot. My brain is unable to reconcile that.
ALSO- I'm with you on hoping he never finds peace. Unfortunately, I feel like he probably will be unbothered. He may be a little uncomfortable at the moment, but eventually I'm sure he will adapt to prison, and in the end he gets exactly what he's always wanted... To be taken care of and not have to deal with/worry about anything at all... I hate this man.
@@MrsLindsC6 I think what frightens and disgusts me most is that he could consider someone as disposable garbage, when he literally built a life with that person. She seems to always have had his back even when he behaved like... this. I'm absolutely flabbergastet by this mans coldness.
But yeah, you're unfortunately right... he'll be just fine. His kids will never be :(
blessings to you and your daughter
@@justcallmeaj4105 absolutely agree!! I’ve been the woman who was far too loyal to the wrong man at one point in my life. Its tragic that she didn’t end up with someone who would ride for her equally hard. If nothing else, maybe there’s a lesson here… behind every piece of shit man is a woman or women who have enabled their shitty behavior. I feel like that needs to be on a tshirt. Blessings to you as well!
Yeah. Also, there doesn't seem any ground for "IF" at this point. He did it. Plain and clear.
@@leenaholmes2271 while I absolutely agree that there is no doubt in my mind that he did this, technically he hasn't been convicted yet. So as of now it's if and allegedly :( I hope that justice will be served in this case but as we all know: our justice system is broken
Stephanie! 30 missing indigenous girls in SD since Jan 1!!! Please cover and bring attention 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
OMG :(
What the fuck? Omg. I know the problem with indigenous women and girls "going missing" (aka: getting assaulted and murdered) is really *BAD.* But 30 in a single month in a single state in the US?!?! 😢 Good God.
I'm seriously wondering if there's a serial killer in South Dakota targeting indigenous women & girls after hearing about the high numbers of indigenous women & girls that go missing, and how the police don't do a damn thing to investigate and find these women. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. Something HAS GOT to be done to stop this shit.
Idk a good solution besides free transportation for indigenous women & girls in areas with high disappearance rates since many get murdered while hitchhiking because they can't afford a vehicle or a ride share/taxi. But who's gonna pay for that? The government doesn't give a shit obviously because they don't care about indigenous people at all, otherwise they'd be doing way more to help the people they stole this country from. 😤
This is friggin insane. Just.... 😮💨
They are not all women ! Men women and children :( Let’s be careful to not spread false info
@@hthtthb Yes true, but is it really that serious.
Yes, please do a deep dive on the missing indigenous people. Why aren't there more true crime RUclipsrs reporting on this?
Stephanie, have you heard about there being 30 missing people in South Dakota just since New Year’s Day? This may be something to shed more light on. Love from Illinois ❤️
Came here to mention this
😱
@@ashtingreene8725 I hope she sees it and uses her channel to get these stories out there. I can’t believe it’s not a big topic out there yet.
First I have heard of this. Thats freaking scary!
Woah it’s mostly teens too
Depending on what type of agreement Ana had entered into with the tenants she was trying to evict, the tenants could be right that she can’t just kick them out to sell the place. If they had signed a lease, Ana would be legally responsible to allow them to stay till the end of the lease, or go through the eviction process which has guidelines. So the tenants could have been in the right here depending on the type of agreement; in most places in North America, tenant rights outweigh owners rights.
If I worked at Home Depot, I would think everyone buying bleach, trash bags, tarps etc. was cleaning up a murder. I mean, how many cases have we seen where the idiot killer goes to the store that has cameras everywhere and buys a murder clean up kit and doesn't even mix in some other items to not look so suspicious? 🤣
Maybe hardware store employees need to be mandated reporters! See something say something
@@rhiannon7163 although that would be great, it’s unrealistic. There’s too many people who are cleaning their house to move, or painting and cleaning, decluttering, etc. where buying those things makes perfect sense. I think they would need more direct evidence. When I worked in a daycare I was a mandated reporter & you couldn’t report someone for their baby being anxious and crying all day, BUT, if the baby is calm and playful all day until it’s time to use the potty, and they scream and cry and kick us away…that’s some pretty direct evidence that someone made this baby scared out their mind of the potty (aka more direct evidence that someone hurt the baby related to potty training). Babies aren’t just scared of the toilet! But there are reasons why someone would need bleach, tarps, box cutters, etc. even if it is suspicious
Tyvek overalls = beekeeping?
Having worked at Lowes as the paint department manager that isn't such a strange mix. People who are painting think that bleach is a great cleaner before painting especially if they have mold growing on the walls (news flash its not). So bleach along with trash bags and rags for clean up, and tarps or plastic wrap are all purchased by 95% of people looking to paint. That would be a lot of people under suspicion, but I like the way you're thinking.
But also, why don’t they already have some of the basic cleaning supplies on hand?
Stephanie, I can relate to you SO much because of how you feel about “team building exercises!” “PTSD”….YES, so accurate. 😩
Yes! Thank you!
I can only think of Jessie Lee Ward and her Colombia team building trip now. What a mess.
It is so chilling to think you can be sharing your life and your home with someone and they are harbouring such deep resentment towards you that it could lead to your death.
More like it’s sad when you’re completely dependent on someone who provides for you and does literally everything but when your deadbeat ways get old you don’t get off your ass or just accept that you’re getting a divorce so you have the nerve to murder the woman who took care of you just to get even more of her money
@@JennifuhhGilardi💯 agreed! Makes me sick to my stomach.
Yes. It shatters part of your soul. Part of your self-assurance is destroyed.
And this is why I'm still single.
@@JennifuhhGilardi this is why I’m for the death penalty. People like him need to know that if you take the life of your spouse, you won’t get to languish in jail for the rest of your days - you will get taken out too 💁🏼♀️
53:08 last I heard, if it’s your property and you have gone through the legal proceedings, that property is still your property. That is the unfortunate gamble people have to play when you rent from people. Just because you say, “no I’m not leaving,” does not mean you won’t get kicked out from a property that ain’t yours. At the end of the day, it’s not your property.
When Brian was making contracts with himself, I wonder if he bothered to tell himself he’s dealing with a conman and a fraud?
Get him!!

As a Serbian woman watching this I feel extremely sad for her children, I’m only 21 minutes into the story but my heart breaks for her entire family 😢 this one hits differently
I agree
When I saw she is Serbian my heart got much heavier. You are right it hits differently. Neka pociva u miru Ana :(
I hope her sister will be able to raise Ana's children. I was reading few days ago that she is fighting to get them from social services.
Why would this Stephanie person call Ana a Russian doll? Serbians are not Russians!
I'm croatian and when i first heard this story it broke my heart. Listening it now, more detailed, it's even more heartbreaking. Počivala u miru 😢
Her not even willing to say Scientology anymore confirms she was scared/threatened out of continuing that series on her channel. A shame
Yep... I had the same sad thought.
Really sad, I felt she was a strong rally-cry
I was thinking the same thing. If ever there were a series to throw out the "allegedly" word left and right it was that one. I knew she was still going to end up being on their sh*t list anyway. They are so ruthless to anyone who publicly says anything negative about them. Sad that the threats must have been serious enough to stop, which is completely understandable. I hope she can pick it back up again in the future when its safe enough to do so.
Anyone else read the headlines for these stories in the news and skip reading them and just wait for Stephanie to cover them because u know she will have all the info u need and that u can trust its well researched? Love u Miss Harlowe! 😘
Yes
Awwww I appreciate you!
Always!
So true.
Yep! And if not Stephanie, Ashley Flowers. ❤ They have been my source for all things that are definitely not mannequins since 2018.
This is horrific! Who tf could actually think “yeah, this is a good idea. I will get away with it”?! Like, no matter how much I hate someone, I could NEVER! This poor woman. I feel so bad for her and those poor boys! Aw their poor mom!
It is so scary for women out here… we’ve heard the story hundreds of times, but I’m still shocked and horrified. Will be interested to see if anything more comes out about their relationship. Those poor boys 😢
It makes me so sad every time.
Only just popped up on my RUclips. It's a savage world. Always has been 😔😔🙏🏼❤️🕊️⚖️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s honestly such a ripoff to be a woman. Burdened with everyone’s shit and still blamed for it. It’s really a sick joke in my opinion, I don’t understand why more women aren’t enraged at the injustices we face. Probably because yet again we get picked on for being psycho feminists for not loving the bullshit that men surely wouldn’t stand for themselves.
I had horrible luck with Hellofresh when I tried it. The food was delivered two days late frequently. Produce would be spoiled/bruised. A few times the meats were open & bled all over the box. Plus the amount of dishes they expected you to use but make it sound so easy & quick. Never done in 15 mins (and Im not a rookie cook,) small portions, plus all the dishes afterwards.
I lived in Massachusetts most of my life, and this broke my heart. She was trying to leave him, he ensured that did not happen. I ache for her poor children 😭
Ladies stop marrying these men, not only do you have to pay to get rid of them but may also legitimately lose your life.
Stay safe and never put anything past anyone.
EDIT : EVERYONE DODGE ALL BRIANS THEY ARE BAD NEWS LOL 😂
LOL Bad news Brian's 🤣
Holy crap….I see the trend there 😳
No Brian’s or Chris’ 😖
And run if you meet a Brian Peterson 😂
My ex was a Bryan....1000000% bad news. 😆 lol
Prayers for her poor babies that are left without a loving mother!! It just makes me furious to see this keep happening!! I talk to my granddaughter(more than she likes) a lot about this very thing. Ladies please quit settling and know you are worth the best!!!! No losers need apply!!! Thank you Stephanie for the video and for being a wonderful role model for female empowerment. Love and blessings💕💕💕💕
The very young children only saw their mother on the weekends. They were being raised by their sociopathic father and I’m not sorry that he will no longer be able influence the boys. They are the most obvious victims of this tragedy.
I’m from Massachusetts but living in Belgrade, Serbia and watching this case unfold has been heartbreaking. I feel so bad for this woman and her loved ones 😞
As a Serbian, why do you choose here, honestly? Its getting worse every day..
@@katinchina1996 There are a lot of reasons 😊 The people here are so genuine and kindhearted, the language is beautiful, the history and culture are fascinating…and of course the food is really delicious 😂 I never planned to stay so long here, but I’ve really fallen in love with the country.
That all being said, I know Serbia definitely has its problems, and a lot of people here have very difficult lives as a result of those. I hope everything gets better ❤️
@@emel3925 One of my best friends is from elsewhere and has been living in Serbia (not Belgrade) for years. She is well aware of all the issues. But she loves her life here, nature, hikes, small villages, old folks that sell her eggs, cheese, and rakija whilst she is trying to talk to them in her broken Serbian. Having her as a friend made me realize I don't appreciate intricacies, and that being too negative about Serbia makes me miserable.
Thank you for having nice words about the country. In times like this, we face more hostility than kindness.
@@panajotov I’m glad your friend likes it here too 😊 My Serbian is also very broken, and I’m grateful that people here have been so patient with me while I learn 😂
I think it’s easy for all of us to focus on the negative aspects of our home countries, but seeing it through someone else’s eyes can be a nice new perspective 😊
@@katinchina1996 Tell me about a 'place' where 'things are getting better by the day'? World is in an 'uproar', pretty much. This is the biggest crisis since WWII in every way. There is no 'here' or 'there' that will be 'better' anytime soon. This is time when you want to surround yourself with family and friends you could help or be helped in any way and get through it and think about priorities.
There is that old local joke, when gypsy is asked what he will do if 'end of the world occurs' to which he replies that 'he will just go to Germany'. Yeah, it`s not 'end of the world' but it will be quite 'bumpy' for sure, and anyone who is even vaguely informed about Germany or other places, it`s pretty much the last places one would go, since this isn`t local crisis, or 'government is bad' type of thing.
In such a situtation the last thing one wants is to be in a place where he barely knows anything about local issues, surrounded by strangers, languages and all other disorienting, unfamiliar aspects.
Serbia is home, in every sense. No one will make it better, no one is coming to 'save us' or make things better for us or anyone else in the areas they live. If you don`t have sense of belonging or responsibility and obligation that`s entirely different thing which you will have to deal with.
With that said, not knowing if you believe in God or not, i will still say, remain hopeful and God bless you and everyone around you! Бог благословио тебе и све твоје!
This is a tough case Stephanie! Nobody covers it like you do! My heart goes out to those poor little boys. We can only hope that justice is served. Thanks for your very thorough deep dives!
"Can luminal detect blood? Yeah that's kind of its main job!" Love that the level of Sass is inherently related to how stupid the questions were. Love you stephanie
🤣🤣🤣
Yes loved that line 😂😂😂
God his searches were sooooo stupid. He may as well have just asked the cops those questions. 😅
My other favorite moment was when she dragged Mandy 😂😂😂
that whole googling section had me rolling. what a dumbass alright
Just a side note that made me laugh…during your hello fresh part you mentioned eating at 2am your leftovers. I’m eating my leftovers at midnight MST aka 2am est. I’m also from NH/MA area. Thank you so much for covering this case. I’ve been researching and watching videos about it and I’m heart broken for her children. The world is a bit darker with her gone 😢
Please, please, do NOT give the children to his family. When he turned out to be this selfish coldhearted violent adult, a narcissist, there is a high chance that there is something wrong with his family. Narcissists are raised, mostly.
Another thing - Ana reported him to the police, long before they got married. (As said in another true crime video, another channel.) She claimed that he was threatening her with killing her and her friends. Sadly, she stopped cooperating with the police, so he was not investigated/punished. I don't understand, why they got back together, married and had kids after such experience. He must be a great manipulator, and her heart is too emphatic. RIP Ana
You hit the nail on the head. A bad childhood can be an explanation for how someone is, but it's not an excuse for their bad behavior in adulthood. You have to take responsibility for your own healing and get help if necessary to change, on your own volition.
B sounds like a malignant narcissist. He is likely to be lying about the family abuse growing up. I know the type and I have every sympathy with his late father. I've had to cut toxic relatives out of my life due to the chaos as well. It's really destructive.
It's so weird but a person can become a narcissist from abuse and from being spoiled.
Regarding the Silva's, the reporting I saw it was stated that they had a verbal agreement and were renting to own/owner financed the apartment. So, to me, it does seem valid for them to be upset when being told the apartment was being sold out from under them.
He sounds like my ex. Still regulating my nervous system, at least I am lucky to still be alive and that my daughter at least has 1 parent. How scary that these people walk among us and are always so charming.
I’m glad you & your daughter are safe ❤
Same.
Same. My ex is a hero in the community (he’s very visibly supporting his new girlfriend and her terminally ill child,) and I’m over here watching these stories thinking, “Wow. I’m really lucky I got out before he killed me.” Because believe me, that was coming. It’s an unpopular opinion, apparently, but 100% true.
My ex has a very similar personality to this man, as well. Depending on who you talk to, people who are new to him think he’s wonderful and amazing. People who have known him for longer than a few years, he’s screwed over almost all of them. The only person who stands by him is his own mother, and she’s just like him.
He has a preteen daughter who refuses to talk to or see him, because she’s witnessed how the way he treats people change suddenly when they don’t play into his narrative. After we broke up, his “baby momma” (a wonderful woman I wasn’t allowed to be close with during our relationship) became one of my closest friends, and we’re always scared he and his mother could do something like this to someone and it could impact his daughter.
Me, too. So glad you're fine!
THANK YOU officer Wallace!!!! I’m SO THANKFUL this young lady got away and the bad guy is caught. And thank you Stephanie and Derrick for covering this case!
That smile on his face pretty much says it all. I bet he won't be wearing his robe around all day in prison. Those google searches are going to be the final nail....rightfully so. RIP Ana, you and the kids deserved so much better
Yeah I agree. Narcissism incarnate
Steph…I swear that for every psychopath murderer…there seems to be a twin flame attorney to flagrantly opine the supposed acumen of their client. Both are equally culpable for procuring their delusions of grandeur…and neither could exist without the other.
He might have well have searched "How to dispose of wife's body after murdering her". Some people don't deserve to have a spouse or kids. This is the first time in a long time I caught a coffee and crime time early lol. Great video as usual.
Right? I mean he used her specific weight lmfao 🤣 did he think the cops wouldn’t look into his sons ipad? Come on 😅
Beautiful Stephanie… mesmerising lady, intelligent and so assertive… a WONDERFUL role model to us all! Plus, that intro song makes us fall in love again and again! All of your channels and presentations are always so thought provoking. After a few years with you, I’ve changed my attitudes many times, seen wisdom, change and more confidence within myself! Well done, this is your element, your calling… a NATURAL! So glad to witness your success and to be a part of it! 🕊️ Blessings…!
I wholeheartedly concur!

@@bionic_woman77 oh jfc... that's not why.
since new years day.
I looked into this case for a quiz in my ethics course back in mid-February. She had actually reported him to the authorities in DC for DV before they were married, and he threatened to kill her. I can't find the exact articles that I had accessed, but I do recall that one of her reports had actually escalated so far that the authorities were in the process of bringing this to court. If I recall correctly, neither one of them responded to the summons, so the authorities had no choice but to drop the case. I can't help but think that he threatened her into silence once he found out about the report. It was further complicated by the fact that it was reported in DC, and with her traveling back and forth and him residing in Mass, it was complicated. Being that they have record that she had reported him more than once, I wish it had been looked into harder, and some of her friends even corroborated what she had said. knowing about the threats that he had made pre-marriage and seeing her reports, posts to social media with the bruising and lacerations, and her friends testimonies, I can't help but think that this is yet another case of DV going under-investigated and it ended up escalating to the point where he got so mad during a fight and her killed her.
Just have read about the little girl killed by her caregiver in Oklahoma, Athena Brownfield! I would like a detailed coverage from my dearest Stephanie 💕💗💖
I'm horrified and angry right now , such a beautiful and precious little girl .
When I saw your comment I went and looked this up and came back to say that is horrendous! I read what the wife said her husband did, and did NOTHING to stop him! I just don't get people that sit back and allow shit like that to happen? If I failed a child like she did, even if the child was not in my care, I would literally not be able to live with myself. There is no way.
Neka počiva u miru, Ana. Neka tvoja duša nađe mir.
Amen.
Thank you for covering this. This happened right near where I grew up and my heart aches for her and those babies.
I had to laugh at the "Head & Shoulders" as praise comment. To me it will always be a medicated shampoo for people with dandruff.🤣 Made me wonder if he got that nickname for another reason than he thought. LOL.🤭
Thank you for covering this case! I mentioned it on your crime weekly news page but I didn’t realize you already had so much information! I grew up in Hingham and still live in MA and this case has been horrifying to watch unfold. You have found so much more than I realized was even out there yet. My heart aches for Ana and her boys. What a sick monster, taking his own sons mother away from them forever. I knew it was him, from the first news of this case breaking - but you’ve shared so much more evidence to prove that. I hope he never sees freedom for a day in his life again.
Thank you so much!!
Those two secret agent impersonators did plead guilty last summer, but what is really remarkable is that they got bailed out pending trial, and were assigned to home confinement. Unbelievable. Something is way wrong with this picture. Thank you so much for the court docs!!
No one does it better than Stephanie. I so enjoy learning the history of each person. Thanks Stephanie ❤
Have to start at the beginning to get to the end!!!!
Where have we heard that before?!
I live in Massachusetts only 20 minutes from Cohasset, that is a very elite and expensive town….it’s about 15-20 min from Boston. I feel absolutely horrible, it breaks my heart for her family because there’s no closure right now, not knowing where her body is or being able to have the proper burial for her is so sad….. god bless her and her family…..🙏🏻💕
Why did she even date this guy, let alone marry and have kids with him? He was a bum, on house arrest, no job, broke, and a scammer. He is physically unattractive and she was out of his league.
Maybe she finally saw through him & was getting ready to divorce him. I cracked up at the “bath robe” comment
Unfortunately there are some families in Serbia that will see an American/Canadian husband as a kind of status symbol/bragging right...mind you it's mostly the more...rural people that think like this. I'm not saying that's the reason why she went with this dumbass but it is a mentality that exists.
Edit: it may also be him manipulating her by faking a charming personality (see his conman past).
My thoughts exactly. He was wayyy beneath her in multiple ways. He's lucky she even gave him the time of day.
money
Green Card?
American Citizenship?
@Cheyanne Pierce his dad was the head of neurology at a top hospital in the US lol sounds like ur the one who didn't listen
The best advice I can give with the way all these stories play out. Ladies learn how NOT to be manipulated! Don’t completely trust Anyone! Question Everything! And if something someone is trying to convince of doesn’t feel right…..Don’t do it!
And your manipulator could be another woman.
I requested this for crime weekly but I am SO glad you covered this. It's truly devastating and it hits so close to home, being a western mass resident it hurts to hear about this! Love the video.
thank you for covering this! I’ve lived in Massachusetts my whole life this broke my heart it always almost feels unreal when it’s so close to home
I'm currently listening to this whilst updating my resume. I didn't un click the "dictate" button, so my resume almost included a word by word paragraph by our Miss Stephanie. At least they would understand my obsession with true crime. 😄
🤣🤣🤣 love it!
Her poor kids, it’s so horrifying that their dads values money more than their lives. Because their lives are forever stamped now. I seriously hope they can bounce back from this ❤❤❤
This is a tragic case, but I couldn't help having a giggle fit over the "Divorce.... but for MEN" part. My mind instantly started creating Just For Men type commercials.
Or like men support groups
The moment I saw the spelling of her name I knew she was a Serbian sister. Rest in Peace, neka te andjeli cuvaju.
This hits close to home for me and just makes me happy I got out of my marriage when I did. I was the breadwinner, although my ex had a job, but got fired while I was pregnant with our first child and throughout our marriage couldn't hold down a job. He was never physically abusive, but emotionally abusive. While pregnant with our second child I saw his true colors and had to wait almost a year until I could afford a divorce. I did worry because of his temper that he might hurt me or the kids or worse. He was also part of the DD (formally the MRDD) because of his learning disability and his caseworker was of no value in helping me, but telling me to understand him more because of his disability. I have two cousins with almost the same disability and they don't act like how he did. I feel sometimes I got out in the nick of time because I feel things were escalating to the point he may have killed me because he was getting hostile. Please, if you can get out do it and don't be afraid to ask for help. It's just tragic that this keeps happening that even filing for a divorce or even threatening to divorce someone can get you killed. I pray those boys stay together and will be set to live with people who love them.
My prayers are with these babies..❤️
They need each other,and they need to stay together.
Please look into the disappearance of Brian Shaffer- I've heard so many disappearance cases but nothing like this one. He went to a bar with two friends and was seen on surveillance coming in but never coming out- and he hasn't been seen since. Plus the roommate/friend never put in a report. The story is always in the back of my mind.
I had a neighbor named Brian Shaffer he died the year after graduation. He was a electrician and got electrocuted
10 to life did a good deep dive in that case days ago. It's such a sad case.
That's an oddity of circumstances you're in, I guess.
I could watch a hundred videos on that case and my heart will still break every time. His poor dad..
I don't know why I was thinking she had covered Brian's disappearance before, but I guess it was a diff channel. That one has always bothered me also. I wouldn't mind her and Derrick picking that one apart.
“I’m head and shoulders “ 😂😂😂
That whole part was hilarious! (1:13:20) OMGoodness that was great hahahaaa! It’s a serious case and I’m not taking it lightly, but I’m loving the bag on this dude! I was pushed in to one as a kid by my mom and it was ridiculous. “I am worthy”…. Lord! Not that people should be walking around feeling unworthy when they’ve been decent people , but for dudes like this bozo?? Ugh!
_'Why would you bring your three young sons... to get milkshakes on a Tuesday morning?'_
...Why, Stephanie? Well, that's easy: The milkshakes bring all the boys to the juice bar.
I'm from Serbia and I couldn't wait for you to cover this case. Great work as always 🥰
Thank you for covering this Stephanie. I live in MA and this has been plastered on every local news outlet for weeks. So sad.
Another less than mediocre man destroys a much more successful woman, the mother of his children, leaving them orphaned and traumatizing them deeply for the rest of their lives. Because his ego is more important than anything else.
30:01 if they aren’t the same rugs he bought they’re probably to replace rugs from their home!
The whole bringing the kids for milkshakes gives total Josh Powell vibes!
I’m just starting the video now. I live in MA and this has been all over the news. I’m so happy you’re covering it!
Wow, so many of us true crime fans from Massachusetts. Central MA here, what area are you from?
This is one of those cases that’s very close to home for me. I was born in Boston and have lived in Massachusetts practically my whole life. Absolutely breaks my heart, and I hope Ana is resting in peace and serenity.
I can't handle most true crime vids/podcasts cuz I'm very picky about the voice of the host. 😆. I love your voice and just everything about you. 💗 Thank you so much for all the work you do! Ps. Your hair is super adorable! 😍
100% same, same, same,same. The only other one I can consistently listen to is Bailey Sarian, but Stephanie is my favorite
Yes, I agree....
This is a hometown case for me. I’m so glad you’re covering it! It’s been blowing my mind since I’ve heard of it.
This is so, so sad. I am from Belgrade and we all are in shock how terible this is. So sad for her children and her family. In Srebia most of us celibrate christmas 7th of January and i am so sorry for her mother that holydays will never be the same, nothing will. 😞😞😞😞🥺💔💔💔💔💔💔 thank you so much for doing this video.❤ love❤
“ Don’t bring Brittany into it she was going through it.” 😂 YES! My thoughts exactly. I always love your videos but especially all the shade you’ll throw to certain people.
Leave Britney Alone!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Right
Also, maybe a weird thing to be hung up on BUT, Britney’s “meltdown” was not over a man 😤 it bothers me that someone correlate/ associates the two
Right. It wasn’t over a man and it definitely had nothing to do with Justin Timberlake. She had been married and had two kids and was either divorced or going through a divorce. It had nothing to do with JT. She could at least get the story right.
@@CLE-EA there are those including psychiatrists who believe that britneys spiral downward began with her inability to keep her relationship with JT. Since she had not developed the coping mechanisms she should have as she grew up, she was unable to cope with the breakup. her meltdown wasnt bc of jt, but it all started there. Obviously this woman that they quoted might have misunderstood that theory.
Excellent video! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and your incredible way of telling what happened and is going on. I wouldn’t have known otherwise. It’s tragic for those 3 little boys. All they know is that they have been taken away. Children see the very best in their parents. I’m sure they just want them and don’t know what’s happening. We can hope! Because this here, this is way too much for a child. There’s so many details and crazy stuff happening in this. So many things that in hind sight mean something..….
AND….M at 1:12:07 the picture of Ana, look closer at her left eye (our right). Below her outer brow there is a clear bruise and small cut. Exactly what it looks like when you are hit in the area because the skin is thin and close to the bone so it splits easily if met with an impact. It’s also what I notice as a clear makeup coverup for bruising. I am very familiar unfortunately with this and can spot it from far away. I immediately zoomed in on the dark mark in the small picture while watching on my phone. I tend to notice this sort of thing without even being aware until zooming in. It’s automatic most of the time. I believe her relationship was much more tumultuous and dangerous than anyone knew. Those poor kids💔
Thanks for covering this. There has been not that much on this case. It’s a trend that men marry foreigners and dispose of them if they want out. Marriage is sacred. People abuse it and think it’s something you can replace. They don’t value anything over their own ego.
Fyi regarding rental property. While owning a rental property u can sell it ,as it's yours. But, there are alot of buts. You can NOT make the Tennant move. You as the landlord have to keep the terms of the lease, regardless if you want to sell. So, if the tenant still has say 4mths on their lease; you can either wait until the 4 months is up to sell, buy out the remainder of thier lease or sell with them in it. BUUUT-then the new owner has to keep the original terms of the lease with your tenant.
I waited for you to cover this case. This case hits home ,because Ana was from my hometown Belgrade,Serbia. Great video as always Stephanie.
Stephanie, I love the thoroughness and passion that you bring these stories to light.
Your compassion shines through!
I'm getting ready for surgery soon, and am all ready saving money aside to buy some of yours and Derrick's Criminal Coffee.
I hope to make a purchase of the 3 different blends by end of February or March!
I usually enjoy Starbucks (gingerbread has been my guilty pleasure of late!) And I also regularly use Locally Roasted Coffee from (Piñon Coffee Company) here in Albuquerque.
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year !
I'm wondering if she knew how unstable he was? Did she pretend everything was fine, as she started making her exit plan. Did she call her Mom knowing that she'd need someone to care for the kids as she waited for him to be sentenced. Once he was found guilty, did she plan on divorcing him. It would be a great strategy 🤷♀️ She'd absolutely get full custody of her children and be free of him. Did she slip, or did he suspect something was coming down the pike, and a confrontation ensued? He's guilty as sin, no mistaking that, don't come for me! I'd love to know more about the two guys from the apartment building she's was managing. What were they up to? 😳 Thank you, Stephanie, for going the extra mile to give as information as possible!
I feel bad for her family in Serbia. They're on a different continent, so they have to rely on embassy and phones to remain in contact with the police...and I imagine there can be some language barrier which can make the process longer and more difficult. They also have to navigate different social and justice systems. I hope that there will be some justice and resolution for them.
I'm so glad you covered this story! I'm from MA, and the stupidity of this man has been blowing my mind.
This is just a minor thing, but when she talks about being a house wife/husband it brought up an ick that I always feel around this subject- house spouses are not sitting around loafing all day. We are managing the house like someone would manage a business. We are budgeting, tracking finances, making repairs and in putting into play steps towards future plans, we are grocery shopping and locating things to make the house function, doing chores so the house functions and caring for the needs of the people within the home. All this so that the person who is out there making the money for the household can focus on those things. It’s work and planning and organization when done well. I just don’t love that it gets portrayed as “just playing with the kids, going to the gym and stuff…”
My excitement when the RUclips notification went off was a bit embarrassing. I was just trying to find something to listen to while I clean my house, and there’s absolutely nothing better for that than Coffe and Crime Time!
Thanks to Stephanie for reporting on this. I knew nothing about it. Terrifying and heartbreaking for those babies. 😢
Cohasset is one of the rich towns here in massachusetts, a lot of beautiful mansions. They filmed some of Witches of Eastwick there. The part where Jack Nicholson rolls across the grass in front of the church is in Cohasset Common.
I literally used to babysit for these people. He was creepy from the get go- BUT neverrrrrr expected this!!!
It's possible that the rugs he bought at Home Goods were to replace the rugs that were in the house and the rugs found were the rugs originally in the house......🤔
Always such good story telling of these tragic events. You’re the best Stephanie!
I find it so hard to understand how someone can think that murder is a solution to your wife potentially leaving you and taking the kids. Now he’ll be “lucky” if he ever sees his kids, and he’s lost his freedom. When is that ever the best choice?!
Honestly, I feel more sorry for the Kids to have lost both of their parents and being a Child of the murderer who took their Mum out.
I'd say the rugs could also have been bought to stage the home as replacements if there had been blood spatter on the homes original rugs during an attack.
Yay a new Stephanie video 🎉 I've just been rewatching the Leonarda Cianciulli videos, I love the stories from years back as well as newer ones 🥰
I'll never look at fresh baked cakes at my friends houses the same way again.
@@ginashemeth7708 Ew! 😆
I hate to say this. But she was pretty damn interesting.
I’m so sad these things happen.
Some humans are disgusting.
But I am grateful for double Stephanie today - this coffee and crime time and crime weekly. Thanks for all you do, Stephanie!
I was born in Italy but i live in Serbia, and as a true crime lover I’ve watched all videos on your channel. I must say that your pronunciation of victims name is almost perfect. I don’t know why you say that
is bad when you slay it every time. Great video as always. Sending love and support ❤️
I am out of coffee so I am going to wait until I got some to watch this 😱 It has become part of my morning rituals to watch your Coffee and Crime Time 💖
I recently heard about this case and it’s so messed up!! This guy is evil. So glad you are covering this case 👌🏽
When you got to the Sylva part, all I could think was never listen to a Sylva. Then you called her out for being catty and I about choked on my drink!
All jokes aside, this is tragic. Those poor babies have lost not only their mother but also their father. Thanks for another well researched video Stephanie!
Brian to google: ‘Can Luminol detect blood?’
Steph: “Yeah, that’s kind of it’s main job”
🤣🤣🤣
Bro I’m dying over the google searches. Omfg I played it back for my husband to listen. He literally gave the police a freaking play by play of your crime!
I don't know about Eastern European countries but there is a young girls' and women's dream in Russia to marry an American man and start living there. Most of these girls are really hard-working and ready to do everything to make their dream come true. She's so beautiful. Nobody deserves that.
No one covers a case like Stephanie. Details heard nowhere else, sass for days... Keep it up!!
I had heard that the tenants were upset with Anna because they had agreed that they were renting the home with the end goal of purchasing the home. The Walshes had agreed to that and then all of a sudden they came talking about selling the home to someone else.
Yes, it's pretty reasonable that tenants would be upset if suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with a demand for them to leave within a matter of months. Moving is very difficult and stressful. It is also understandably disconcerting when your property manager has some sort of emotional outburst or "meltdown" when discussing such matters.
I want to thank you!! I have wanted to do a podcast for almost 12 years so I’m finally doing it! All because of you @stephanie xoxo
In my early 20s, I got suckered into one of these cultish WAY over priced, secretive "life changing" programs. Looking back, it was a total scam. They were like 12 hr days, and it was a 4 day program.. they literally would yell, "IF YOUR BOSS DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE V TIME OFF FOR THIS PROGRAM, THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AT THAT JOB!" Such disgraceful manipulation, especially feeding on the weakest ones among us
