  • Ashley Biggs was a Domino's delivery driver, who never returned from a delivery one night in 2012. The case was quickly solved, an ex partner, Chad Cobb, was having a bitter custody dispute with her. But what about Chad's partner, Erica Stefanko? Was she involved? In a secret recording kept for years, she says herself.

    The daughter in this story has been through so much. As a baby was abandoned by her mother for a couple of years. Then warring custody battle between her parents. Her father murders her mother and is in prion. Horrific abuse by her father's girlfriend - who made her eat dog doo. After such an awful childhood I really hope she experiences some normality, friendliness and love.

      The family courts are heavily weighted in favor of the mother. And for good reason. They are very often financially less secure and more likely to be a sufficient parent by nature. The guy can try again with other women and usually do. Law is crude compared to the complexity of human lives but has been distilled down over many centuries to contain as much wisdom as could be fitted in. Nothing is perfect so you have to react with some wisdom of your own.

    One woman knew about the recording for several years, held it aside as insurance, didn’t once say anything or tell anyone.
    And one man who knew she was involved the entire time and didn’t say anything, knew a recording existed and didn’t say anything…

There is something about your presentation and how you come off caring, sincere and funny while still leaving no doubt how much you care about the victims and also making sure we know exactly what happened. These videos really helped me get threw some of the worst times of my own while dealing with debilitating depression, anxiety and just feeling totally exhausted and not wanting to do anything. Now your probably thinking this is crazy because of the subjects of these videos and your channel overall. Well, all I can say is that when I truly felt like giving up I would binge your videos and for whatever reason I was able to reassess things and laugh a bit and then I realized that I needed to do whatever it took to work on my own issues and change things so that I could possibly do something like you to help others too. Weird right? Well it is just one of many coping skills I now use to take the edge off of the hopelessness when it shows it’s face to me. So I am forever grateful and thankful for you and all u do bro. I wish you nothing but the best and tons of success so that you may accomplish all that you want on your end as well.

      Some people forget that Ashley won custody in court so there had to be a lot more going on than is known for that to happen. The courts don't just yank a child out of a stable home with a stable parent and life. After hearing what her stepmom did to her and her father was capable of doing what he did to Ashley there is a reason custody was given back to Ashley. I don't believe for a minute that Chad wasn't aware of what his wife was doing to that precious child. Her abuse was flagrant and continuous and he did nothing to stop it but people want to blame Ashley? Shame.

      @@nineboz318 It also briefly mentions that there was 'domestic violence' between Chad & Ashley before the end of their relationship, which could've also been taken into account (particularly if there were any police reports to back that up).
      It really has to be _something,_ because the courts do _not_ take 'abandonment' (which, based on this, it sounds like Ashley did when Grace was extremely little) lightly, & they _very rarely_ take the child from the only parent they've ever known (& give them to the one that left them) without real cause.
      Perhaps Erica's abuse had something to do with it, it sounds like she had Chad wrapped around her little finger, possibly to the extent of knowingly letting her get away with abusing his daughter. But to play devil's advocate, it's not impossible to consider that he was abusing Erica if he could do it to Ashley (granted I'd imagine she'd bring that up during the trial if that was the case), we just don't have enough info to judge. I feel so bad for Grace, she was the victim here no matter how you slice it.

      @@KyrieChii The fact that she joined the military suggests to me she was fleeing an abusive relationship. Women in abusive relationships are especially vulnerable when pregnant, in the first year after, or when attempting to leave. Joining the military was probably the closest thing to witness protection she could come up with.
      If, as I suspect that was the case, it would make a compelling argument in court for granting shared custody -- which is what she was granted. That was probably less because the court thought Chad was a good person, and more because it would be extremely disruptive to a six year old suddenly not just have her mom in her life, but no dad.
      It sounds like the custody arrangement was changed over time, so the court was probably monitoring the families closely, and Chad may have been worried that he would lose his remaining share of custody (which may have been in part due to his wife's actions), and so he killed Ashley, much as she likely feared he would all those years prior.
