Josh’s story hit hard. My boyfriend was also murdered in Las Vegas. Fortunately, his murderer was apprehended. I had to move out of that city because there were so many memories. A lot of good memories tainted by that terrible night. I found out he was going to propose that year. It’s devastating losing someone, but even worse when it’s in such a brutal way. The what if’s and what might have been is an endless dark hole that can be tough to climb out of. I also have a box full of everything that belong to my boyfriend. His cologne, his shirt, his last pack of cigarettes… I still love him and think of him often. I have not opened the box in years, but when I do, it feels exactly like she said. Like he was just here, but again like it was so long ago. It’s been almost 14 years. I really hope they bring Josh’s killer to justice.
I lost my best friend of 48 years. He was like a brother to me. I think of him often and has been six years since he died. However when i think of him i always think of all the good times we had together. That is what gets me thru the memories.
I’m retired military and diagnosed with PTSD. When I heard the police officer’s mother-in-law defend her son by saying the government does nothing to help veterans adjust after their experiences, it really bothered me. There are virtually unlimited services available both in-service and through the VA to help deal with PTSD. Everyone’s different, and yes you have to navigate a bureaucracy. But, all she did was try to deflect the responsibility for a murder.
How did he hear officer down if she hadn't been found yet?. No one explains that in the whole video. If he texts her because he heard officer down, but he had to call the station for them to find her... Did anyone else catch this?
I caught it. It wasn't explained what the time of death was or what time the body was discovered. I don't think the husband would be dumb enough to make that kind of mistake. I also noticed that he used her "pet" name in the first text but then dropped that and resorted to calling her "Baby or Babe" when he became concerned.
It's so heartbreaking to watch that he killed the only person who loved him the most! And very disgusting to claim insanity when he's actions showed otherwise! He's not sorry that he killed her, he's sorry that he got caught 😡 absolute betrayal 😢 RIP Jennifer ❤
You’d be surprised at how easy it is to read someone. But peoples better judgement get clouded by oxytocin and sex. People tell on themselves very early in relationships. Pay attention.
I think the point is that if there were 2 officers working together then he may not have tried or succeeded. Then again he may have killed both.@@WagonBurner1013
“This pretty police officer,” why in the world are they talking about her looks? This situation was wild, and I feel like that comment was rather out of place.
She couldn't do her job right, so they comment on the superficial. Nothing said about her arrest records, just that she was a church leader, a "smiling" face in the office 🤷
As a retired Marine of 23 yrs and 2 Purple Hearts. THIS bastard sickens me. I suffer from PTSD I love my wife. I am living and loving my new family. Semper Fi Ubuntu Ma'at. Ase'
PTSD has nothing to do with this, he truly knew what he was doing and got caught red handed. What a waste of life when you could do something better and lived life to the fullest
What an absolute horrendous betrayal she loved & took care of him when his body was broken😓 he repayed her by taking her life & shooting her 3x in the face. He knew he was going to kill her, kissed her right before she went to work, then sent her a message telling her he loves , absolutely gross that he had the audacity to say he had " so much love for her'. SMH He shot her in the face because he hated her! Soldiers are trained to aim center mass EVERYTIME.
I am a combat veteran of both wars, Iraq, and Afghanistan and suffer from PTSD. PTSD does not make you do horrible things. People that act aggressively already had that in them. Bad people use PTSD as an excuse to commit evil acts.
I have PTSD from my combat veteran father deciding to off himself in front of me after losing the battle to his ptsd! When I am acting up with flashbacks It mostly comes down as panic attacks and hyperventilating whilst replaying those traumatic moments, using ptsd to commit violence is just an excuse to commit violence. I don't even know how people are capable of stuff like this, when I act up I just wanna sleep or lay down and cant even talk. What really happened was that it never had to do with ptsd in stuff like this. Just like every criminal in prison, he had an angry moment, and with years of build up hatred, spite, and anger internally led to this person making this horrid and monstrous decision just like how the person he was. Like what you said, he already had it in him. I have never acted up violently in my years of having PTSD and I'm speaking this from the perspective of someone that was institutionalized and went through every form of therapy including exposure. Just an overall sad but equally angering situation after seeing this video...
Don’t feel sad for people who milk themselves or their families my uncle just killed himself and people only cared once he was gone. So stop caring for the families or people who killed themselves or the person who did. It’s the sign of the weakest in our world. Everyone has problems and they just can’t deal with em so who cares? Because they sure as shit didn’t. So really it’s sad the parents couldn’t teach their kids to be stronger
There no valid excuse in what he’s done .It sounds like he was attracted by her kindness to others and jealous of it at the same time. She had a successful career. He couldn’t process it. He knew he wasn’t going to be able to keep her. She had an unmatched charisma he couldn’t handle. His battle was with his ego more so than the PTSD. He killed a person with a beautiful heart and soul. He has to live with that. RIP Jennifer ❤ the world loves you.
So it wasn't enough evidence that he sent a message saying he heard an officer was down then called the dispatch and they hadn't even heard about it yet? That should be an open shut case.
Ptsd should not be a factor in shooting your own wife regardless if he is a veteran. This is coming from a veteran who was deployed 7 times and will never use ptsd as a crutch.
The first crime about the vet. killing his wife, that phycologist made a perfect point, he didn't think this was PTSD, he didn't shoot her in the heart, just her face, something to think about. The 2nd crime, I bet that Don Juan and company have pulled this off before, I hope LVPD is watching this thug. RIP Joshua..
He did shoot her more than just the 3 to her face, those were just the finishing touch, but, yeah, there really wasn't much by way of where the other shots hit though
@@MikeT-TheRetiredColonelthey said the 2 first ones were in the back of the head and that's why she wouldn't have known who was doing it. And the last 3 were her gun to the face
@@MikeT-TheRetiredColonelwhich is also why they said him using her weapon was out of anger because she would have been gone after the first 2 to the back of the head.
@@jeaniquetuckernot sure that they can be certain about which shots were "first"... this is often simply an educated guess/opinion. As an RN working alongside the coroner and medical examiner for a few years, the amount of straight up guesswork that goes into this kind of thing was rather staggering imo.

Poor Jen 💐💐🥺 Her death hit so hard from her brothers and sisters in blue. And hearing that her husband was their sister’s killer is shocking and scary. Even her own chief wanted to protect her yet he said he failed her 😢😢😢😢 I am married to a Marine, and this marine isn’t human, he’s a monster. NO marine shoots their target in the face three times. He did not love her 😢😢
Even if she was at the fire station on a break or doing paperwork in her car her dispatcher should have checked over the MDC's or whatever text messaging system being used if only to make sure she didn't forget to become "available" to dispatch. And why didn't any of the fire/EMS hear the shots?
I can see how traumatised, sad and still very tender this caring Police Officer is, as he retells his experience at this incident, the death of this very respected lady officer, his colleague, a friend, was murdered in such a horrific way. 🥺🙏🏻💕
On the 1 year anniversary of Jennifer's death, her only sibling took his life. How tragic for that family. Christmas would never be the same for anyone after that. 😭😭
I remember sitting at Christmas Eve dinner and hearing about a female Tosa police officer being shot and killed. And I immediately thought of Jen. Of course I had no idea that it could actually be her. So sad. She was just so excited to be a police officer.
How does a police office get killed with their own gun. Sounds like she was playing a cop. Didn't have proper training, can't out power a man. A perfect of example of women shouldn't be police.
@@honkingantalopeshe was ambushed from the back dummy, didn’t you hear she was shot 2 times from the back and then when she was down he took her gun and shot her 3 times in the face.
Learning about this beautiful & dedicated officer, she was so beautiful, both inside and out. I teared up when her fellow officer gave that sweet, tear-jerking speech during the ceremony. As for her evil, barbaric husband, if he felt he was the one that should’ve died, clearly he would’ve taken his own life instead and spared the one person who made him feel like a prince. This was purely out of his own insecurities, selfishness and pure jealousy. The one person who devoted her whole self to him , the police force, and her community he turned on…that’s so sad. R.i.p. Jennifer🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wait a second. I thought all cops did was kill innocent black people. Now they are all of a sudden hero's because she a women who died from domestic violence.
In the 1st case, they say he texetd her that he heard there was an officer down then called the precinct & they tracked her phone and discovered her body. Im confused, did it really happen in that order?
I thought the same thing. That is actually what made me suspicious of him. How did he know there was an officer down but then they had to search for her when he called. He was likely lying about hearing officer down. I doubt her death had been discovered which is why he had to call in and have them track her.
My thoughts also!!!... the police had to go search after he called and the cops didn't get a response....people always tell on themselves if we listen.
@@wiggly103 cops were slow on this one. Then it took them 60 hours to make him confess. They never watched the Russell Williams interrogation. Soft and easy.
A lot people may miss a piece of context of the detectives statement about feeling feeling brokenhearted "seeing her alone in the rain". It wasn't just that she was out in the rain/snow for 2 hours.. but that they also had to leave her body be because they had to properly analyze the crime scene.
This is so sad, I feel so bad for that young woman's family and loved ones and especially for her. I'm so sick of these demented men preying upon us. I f****** can't stand it anymore.
Same goes with women. Especially to that newly wed's where the husbands wife pushed him off a cliff after 8 days of being married. The sword swings both ways. And she only got 30 years not life. So where's the fair justice system where everyone is equal and something you feminist's cry about all the time for equality?
His story makes no sense: if he was trying to keep her from committing su!c!de because she said she would do it if he did first, then why didn't he end up doing himself too? why ambush her somewhere away from home if you always planned on dying anyway? He was definitely trying to make it look like a random robbery for a cop's gun or something.
The story In Wisconsin has all the makings of a brutal senseless murder, religion, guns, and a cowardly jealous husband. The second story reminds me of my grandfather who was also a semi professional boxer who was murdered by a local mob outside of his house back in the 60’s.
Me too! It must be torture and devastating to know who killed Josh and also took money off him from a "partnership" yet he still walks and lives in a bloody gated- community as a free piece of sh*t! I pray evidence is found and that POS is jailed for the rest of his life! Also having the amount Josh earned from his t.shirt "partnership" revealed over the internet, cable or streaming platforms ( not very tech savvy), and that d**khead still didn't return any to Josh's heartbroken widow (married or not) to help with funeral expenses or simply, because IT'S JOSH'S! Just goes to show what a complete selfish POS he really is, and that he's free to do it to someone else when he feels enough time has passed and he thinks everyone is over Josh now!!
I am not defending him!! PTSD can be very dangerous for the closest people to the soldiers. My grandma married a wonderful man in the Air Force, their station was moved to Germany. After 3 back to back deployments, he went nuts. There were many stories, I'm going to share the two that could have easily ended her life. The first was when he held her hostage in their closet at gun point for three days. The second, he threw a knife at her head, it was close enough that it cut off some of her hair and cut her ear, it went through a painting and stuck in the wall. He did these things so many times that she hid money around the house for my dad and aunt for what they needed. After a year of begging the air force for help and no help received, a neighbor helped her and the kids get back to America and file for divorce. The air force's answer to my grandmother,.... This is a domestic situation and needs to be handled in the home.. or maybe she should try a little harder.... Our soldiers are coming back from war mentally damaged and need help...
he should have a got a proper job instead of depending on someone else to make him rich. It could be a Hate Crime, we just never know. Josh was made to believe that everyone would be looking out for him. Never raise your children in a sheltered life in America. He was good looking but he was no Brad Pitt to think he could make it big.
My cousin was a dispatcher for Cullman County PD. She and a police officer from the same county were in a relationship. While on a vacation, he went to his truck and got his pistol and walked back to the sidewalk where she was and shot her six times in the back.
@@Sara-dq3ob oh, we don’t. We do stuff in her name all the time. We even have an annual softball tournament set up in her honor. The money goes towards the Youth Leadership Academy she loved so much and volunteered for since the day she turned 16.
@@jerrettrollins865 Sorry for the loss of your cousin, but you guys should honor the police officer husband's name too, by naming something after him. Even cheap lettering would work, but you could name a port-a-potty somewhere.
This is such a sad story! Jen seemed to be such am out going person, to help those in her life just to be taken away from all because of jealousy. My heart goes out to all of those affected by her husband's actions.❤❤
The voice-over told us who did it right off the bat: Husband texted her worried about hearing about an officer down, much later he called dispatch saying he was worried, then fellow officers go and find her, at that point they put out the call of an officer down - note her husband's first text to her said he had heard about this officer down call "Before it Happened!"😠!
I knew it was the husband because he sent a text message to her stating babe are you OK because they said a officer was down in tosa. Now after the third message he called the station and no one knew where she was she didn’t answer. And then of course two officers happened up on her because that’s where they would go to finish out their paperwork and reports. How would he know there was an officer down if the police department didn’t know. He was so busy trying to cover his tracks that he jumped the gun. He didn’t have PTSD , or any of that he planned it he just screwed up when he wrote that text message. He is a snake and a psychopath.
I really like the style of repeating the facts over and over. I kept forgetting where the policewoman was shot so what a relief to be reminded multiple times. However I wasn’t too clear about how the husband reacted to his wife’s murder when he was in the interview room. What was that he flipped over again?
I lived a block away from this shooting at the time...on Church St. (Dec 24, 2012) when I woke up that morning, I saw the blue police lights blinking through my shades and thought the neighbors across the street had installed beautiful Christmas lights overnight...that is until my mother, who lived downstairs in the duplex, called to tell me the police were at her door and wanted to talk to both of us. I ran downstairs as fast as I could only to tell them with the cold, our windows were all closed and we heard nothing. The police command post was near our backyard. (We lived on a corner.) Btw, the "beautiful blue lights" I'd seen were the 4 squad cars blocking the intersection in front of our house. Mom, the best murder mystery detective in the family suspected the husband immediately--because of the facial shots. This was 11+ yrs ago, but seems like just yesterday. 😢
RIP ❤️she wanted to help him, but he needed much more help than what she could do for him. He needed a long hospital stay , call the VA hospital ASAP ❤

No one respects officers except bootlickers and other officers.
@johngallagher3732 what? You not making sense.
I’m retired military and diagnosed with PTSD. When I heard the police officer’s mother-in-law defend her son by saying the government does nothing to help veterans adjust after their experiences, it really bothered me. There are virtually unlimited services available both in-service and through the VA to help deal with PTSD. Everyone’s different, and yes you have to navigate a bureaucracy. But, all she did was try to deflect the responsibility for a murder.
How did he hear officer down if she hadn't been found yet?. No one explains that in the whole video. If he texts her because he heard officer down, but he had to call the station for them to find her... Did anyone else catch this?
I caught it. It wasn't explained what the time of death was or what time the body was discovered. I don't think the husband would be dumb enough to make that kind of mistake. I also noticed that he used her "pet" name in the first text but then dropped that and resorted to calling her "Baby or Babe" when he became concerned.
@@Gitn2it oh snap I didn't even catch that with the text and the pet name.... Very smart
I thought the same thing 😮
@@tineshamalachi3122 I was really curious if anyone else had ... Thank you..
That was my thought also 🤔
If someone dies suddenly shortly after a life insurance policy is acquired thats always the first person you look at. They have all the motive
Don Juan is living on borrowed time. There is a room at the Grey Bar Hotel with his name on it.
Is there a database of life insurance policies and their beneficiary?
Did he claim and get the insurance ?
@@davidallen3050he tried but was denied and then tried to sue for it
Don't understand how this Don Juan got away with murder.
It's so heartbreaking to watch that he killed the only person who loved him the most! And very disgusting to claim insanity when he's actions showed otherwise! He's not sorry that he killed her, he's sorry that he got caught 😡 absolute betrayal 😢 RIP Jennifer ❤
You’d be surprised at how easy it is to read someone. But peoples better judgement get clouded by oxytocin and sex. People tell on themselves very early in relationships. Pay attention.
No Police should ever be working alone. RIP 😢
She was killed by her husband so I'm not sure what point you're making here
@@WagonBurner1013they just read that damn title (partly) get emotional and smoke up the keyboard. 🙄
Just another silly cow begging for likes without listening to the story
When they said how many times she was shot and where,I knew it was the husband,that type of shooting is done by someone close to you.
I think the point is that if there were 2 officers working together then he may not have tried or succeeded. Then again he may have killed both.@@WagonBurner1013
“This pretty police officer,” why in the world are they talking about her looks? This situation was wild, and I feel like that comment was rather out of place.
Because looks matter
She couldn't do her job right, so they comment on the superficial.
Nothing said about her arrest records, just that she was a church leader, a "smiling" face in the office 🤷
More like average

PTSD has nothing to do with this, he truly knew what he was doing and got caught red handed. What a waste of life when you could do something better and lived life to the fullest
I disagree. PTSD and even more likely CPTSD likely had everything to do with it.
What an absolute horrendous betrayal she loved & took care of him when his body was broken😓 he repayed her by taking her life & shooting her 3x in the face. He knew he was going to kill her, kissed her right before she went to work, then sent her a message telling her he loves , absolutely gross that he had the audacity to say he had " so much love for her'. SMH
He shot her in the face because he hated her! Soldiers are trained to aim center mass EVERYTIME.
That’s the torso honey
Not the face
I agree and also believe he wanted to punish her and her family because chances are she couldn't have an open casket.
And Marines. But I guess he stopped being a Marine when he violated that whole honor integrity commitment thing.
@@nowirehangers2815, I think that was her point.
@@nononoisaidnope, it’s not a thing. Core values are tough for stupid civilians to understand. You make that very clear.
I am a combat veteran of both wars, Iraq, and Afghanistan and suffer from PTSD. PTSD does not make you do horrible things. People that act aggressively already had that in them. Bad people use PTSD as an excuse to commit evil acts.

I have PTSD from my combat veteran father deciding to off himself in front of me after losing the battle to his ptsd! When I am acting up with flashbacks It mostly comes down as panic attacks and hyperventilating whilst replaying those traumatic moments, using ptsd to commit violence is just an excuse to commit violence. I don't even know how people are capable of stuff like this, when I act up I just wanna sleep or lay down and cant even talk. What really happened was that it never had to do with ptsd in stuff like this. Just like every criminal in prison, he had an angry moment, and with years of build up hatred, spite, and anger internally led to this person making this horrid and monstrous decision just like how the person he was. Like what you said, he already had it in him. I have never acted up violently in my years of having PTSD and I'm speaking this from the perspective of someone that was institutionalized and went through every form of therapy including exposure. Just an overall sad but equally angering situation after seeing this video...
Wrong
Jen’s brother killed himself on the fist anniversary of his sister’s death… 😢 he was her only brother… this monster completely destroyed her family.
Omg that’s so sad💔
Why woukd that be
That's heartbreaking! Their poor parents, how they'll get over this only god knows!
Don’t feel sad for people who milk themselves or their families my uncle just killed himself and people only cared once he was gone. So stop caring for the families or people who killed themselves or the person who did. It’s the sign of the weakest in our world. Everyone has problems and they just can’t deal with em so who cares? Because they sure as shit didn’t. So really it’s sad the parents couldn’t teach their kids to be stronger
Omg that's horrible 😢
i'm so sick of them calling her "pretty" 200x. WTH?
What different does it make?!
Yea not pretty
I knew he was guilty the minute he flipped that table
I knew he was guilty when I saw the title of the video.Was that a police officer was ambushed by her marine husband
Did Josh not have a family, a father, mother or siblings? Only an ex girlfriend is left to remember him. Very sad and weird story. 😢
He might not have had siblings and his parents might be deceased 💔😭
His family may not want to talk on camera
Was there no DNA evidence on Josh? Karma will find those killers. So awful none have been brought to justice.
There no valid excuse in what he’s done .It sounds like he was attracted by her kindness to others and jealous of it at the same time. She had a successful career. He couldn’t process it. He knew he wasn’t going to be able to keep her. She had an unmatched charisma he couldn’t handle. His battle was with his ego more so than the PTSD. He killed a person with a beautiful heart and soul. He has to live with that. RIP Jennifer ❤ the world loves you.
I'm wondering if he had life insurance on her or needed her officer pension
I don't know if being a police officer really counts as a successful career. Most people don't stay in the police for that long.
Got shot 3x in the face...."she had no enemies" obviously she had at least 1 enemy
Always be careful of who's close to you.
Heartbreaking. This brought tears to my eyes. Rest In Peace, Jen.
So it wasn't enough evidence that he sent a message saying he heard an officer was down then called the dispatch and they hadn't even heard about it yet? That should be an open shut case.
Theres a moment at 10:43 where his mask drops for a second and out comes pure evil before he fixes his face again. Truly chilling.
Being an a**hole is not a reason for insanity
"She was helping "me"." Selfish.
Ptsd should not be a factor in shooting your own wife regardless if he is a veteran. This is coming from a veteran who was deployed 7 times and will never use ptsd as a crutch.
She probably knew who was shooting her, and wondering why.He knew what he was doing. The only one that nurse him back too health and stood by him.
She was killed by the first shots. She was dead before the facial shots. Makes me wonder if she knew too. So tragic my heart breaks.
The first crime about the vet. killing his wife, that phycologist made a perfect point, he didn't think this was PTSD, he didn't shoot her in the heart, just her face, something to think about. The 2nd crime, I bet that Don Juan and company have pulled this off before, I hope LVPD is watching this thug. RIP Joshua..
He did shoot her more than just the 3 to her face, those were just the finishing touch, but, yeah, there really wasn't much by way of where the other shots hit though
@@MikeT-TheRetiredColonelthey said the 2 first ones were in the back of the head and that's why she wouldn't have known who was doing it. And the last 3 were her gun to the face
@@MikeT-TheRetiredColonelwhich is also why they said him using her weapon was out of anger because she would have been gone after the first 2 to the back of the head.
@@jeaniquetuckernot sure that they can be certain about which shots were "first"... this is often simply an educated guess/opinion. As an RN working alongside the coroner and medical examiner for a few years, the amount of straight up guesswork that goes into this kind of thing was rather staggering imo.
He is not sick, just plain evil 😈
THIS IS TOTALLY SICK AND UNFORGIVABLE!!!!! WHAT HE DID IS A TOTAL DISGRACE TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!!!!!!!!! SICK......SICK.... SICK!!!!!!!!💯💯💯😡😡😡😡😡😱😱😱😨😨😨😨💔💔💔💔😨🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
So she was coming out of the fire department? They didn't hear five shots?
It's interesting that he knew about an officer being ambushed before her department knew about it. That should have been a clue.
A board certified psychiatrist is like a homeless man talking about money.😂
Poor Jen 💐💐🥺 Her death hit so hard from her brothers and sisters in blue. And hearing that her husband was their sister’s killer is shocking and scary. Even her own chief wanted to protect her yet he said he failed her 😢😢😢😢
I am married to a Marine, and this marine isn’t human, he’s a monster. NO marine shoots their target in the face three times. He did not love her 😢😢
Gawd bless Murica 🤓 🖕
@@firstlast8258 Are you mocking our country?
Where were her dispatchers? Hours without hearing from one of my officers? Not on my watch. That's insane!
Even if she was at the fire station on a break or doing paperwork in her car her dispatcher should have checked over the MDC's or whatever text messaging system being used if only to make sure she didn't forget to become "available" to dispatch. And why didn't any of the fire/EMS hear the shots?
You are right. Their job is dangerous.
How many others did Ben kill before Jennifer?
Afghans and Iraqis?? Who cared then?
At home or abroad?.
Interesting question. I didn’t get serial killer from him. ..What people do in the military doesn’t count.
@@LadyAngela678Everything you do in life counts.
I can see how traumatised, sad and still very tender this caring Police Officer is, as he retells his experience at this incident, the death of this very respected lady officer, his colleague, a friend, was murdered in such a horrific way. 🥺🙏🏻💕
On the 1 year anniversary of Jennifer's death, her only sibling took his life. How tragic for that family. Christmas would never be the same for anyone after that. 😭😭
No!! Where did you read this??? So sad!
@DeeJames1024 while I watch these shows, I google people. Victims and suspects.
I remember sitting at Christmas Eve dinner and hearing about a female Tosa police officer being shot and killed. And I immediately thought of Jen. Of course I had no idea that it could actually be her. So sad. She was just so excited to be a police officer.
You knew her personally?
How does a police office get killed with their own gun. Sounds like she was playing a cop. Didn't have proper training, can't out power a man. A perfect of example of women shouldn't be police.
@@honkingantalopeshe was ambushed from the back dummy, didn’t you hear she was shot 2 times from the back and then when she was down he took her gun and shot her 3 times in the face.
Learning about this beautiful & dedicated officer, she was so beautiful, both inside and out. I teared up when her fellow officer gave that sweet, tear-jerking speech during the ceremony. As for her evil, barbaric husband, if he felt he was the one that should’ve died, clearly he would’ve taken his own life instead and spared the one person who made him feel like a prince. This was purely out of his own insecurities, selfishness and pure jealousy. The one person who devoted her whole self to him , the police force, and her community he turned on…that’s so sad. R.i.p. Jennifer🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wait a second. I thought all cops did was kill innocent black people. Now they are all of a sudden hero's because she a women who died from domestic violence.
Her cop husband was a shit infused dirt bag,
So a cop gets shot in the parking lot of a fire department and nobody hears any shots? Pathetic.
In the 1st case, they say he texetd her that he heard there was an officer down then called the precinct & they tracked her phone and discovered her body. Im confused, did it really happen in that order?
I thought the same thing. That is actually what made me suspicious of him. How did he know there was an officer down but then they had to search for her when he called. He was likely lying about hearing officer down. I doubt her death had been discovered which is why he had to call in and have them track her.
My thoughts also!!!... the police had to go search after he called and the cops didn't get a response....people always tell on themselves if we listen.
@@wiggly103 cops were slow on this one. Then it took them 60 hours to make him confess. They never watched the Russell Williams interrogation. Soft and easy.
I'm lost too!
He looks so creepy in that wheelchair. Hmm ex marine
No such thing as a "ex" Marine once the title is earned it can never be taken. Yes even if said person is a pos.
A lot people may miss a piece of context of the detectives statement about feeling feeling brokenhearted "seeing her alone in the rain".
It wasn't just that she was out in the rain/snow for 2 hours.. but that they also had to leave her body be because they had to properly analyze the crime scene.
Please stop the violence. Please.
A butt hurt ego. Wife is sucessful & he is a loser.
It should be illegal for someone to get life insurance on a person without the other party not knowing
This is so sad, I feel so bad for that young woman's family and loved ones and especially for her. I'm so sick of these demented men preying upon us. I f****** can't stand it anymore.
it’s a compliment i don’t think it’s anything to get crazy about
But still women are turned on by violent men. I mean look at him. Dead killer eyes and Ex-Marine. Somehow she found that attractive.
Same goes with women. Especially to that newly wed's where the husbands wife pushed him off a cliff after 8 days of being married. The sword swings both ways. And she only got 30 years not life. So where's the fair justice system where everyone is equal and something you feminist's cry about all the time for equality?
A crazy psychologist once told me I couldn't divorce a ptsd marine and it blew my mind how dangerous that is....
Crazy is as crazy does
Did he say why???
This was premeditated ,PTSD has nothing to do with it.
Crime watch journalists put themselves in great risk with the way they approach to demand answers. Hope they have protection backup out of view.
Why does people be allowed to take a policy out on a person that don't know about it??? This should be stopped!!!
His story makes no sense: if he was trying to keep her from committing su!c!de because she said she would do it if he did first, then why didn't he end up doing himself too? why ambush her somewhere away from home if you always planned on dying anyway? He was definitely trying to make it look like a random robbery for a cop's gun or something.
How can you have no contact with an off duty officer or not track her for that many hours. I've never heard of such a thing. Bless her and her family.
Honestly this man doesn’t care about the fate of his own soul to betray his wife like that and to murder her.
Josh should have called 911 instead of his girlfriend.
Ben: those are the kind of people that gravitate to police and military work.
The story In Wisconsin has all the makings of a brutal senseless murder, religion, guns, and a cowardly jealous husband. The second story reminds me of my grandfather who was also a semi professional boxer who was murdered by a local mob outside of his house back in the 60’s.
I hope Shannon finds some peace and gets some justice for Josh.
Me too! It must be torture and devastating to know who killed Josh and also took money off him from a "partnership" yet he still walks and lives in a bloody gated- community as a free piece of sh*t! I pray evidence is found and that POS is jailed for the rest of his life! Also having the amount Josh earned from his t.shirt "partnership" revealed over the internet, cable or streaming platforms ( not very tech savvy), and that d**khead still didn't return any to Josh's heartbroken widow (married or not) to help with funeral expenses or simply, because IT'S JOSH'S! Just goes to show what a complete selfish POS he really is, and that he's free to do it to someone else when he feels enough time has passed and he thinks everyone is over Josh now!!
that cop looked devastated and traumatized, I can't imagine the brutality
The fact that he could be paroled in 35 years is a crime itself ......punk shouldve rec the DP......nothing less
You first
Awe, I feel so bad for Jen...
I am not defending him!! PTSD can be very dangerous for the closest people to the soldiers. My grandma married a wonderful man in the Air Force, their station was moved to Germany. After 3 back to back deployments, he went nuts. There were many stories, I'm going to share the two that could have easily ended her life. The first was when he held her hostage in their closet at gun point for three days. The second, he threw a knife at her head, it was close enough that it cut off some of her hair and cut her ear, it went through a painting and stuck in the wall. He did these things so many times that she hid money around the house for my dad and aunt for what they needed. After a year of begging the air force for help and no help received, a neighbor helped her and the kids get back to America and file for divorce. The air force's answer to my grandmother,.... This is a domestic situation and needs to be handled in the home.. or maybe she should try a little harder.... Our soldiers are coming back from war mentally damaged and need help...
Gawd bless Murica
Man Josh's life was pretty great to spend his time with such an amazingly beautiful and smart woman. She's so beautiful
he should have a got a proper job instead of depending on someone else to make him rich. It could be a Hate Crime, we just never know. Josh was made to believe that everyone would be looking out for him. Never raise your children in a sheltered life in America. He was good looking but he was no Brad Pitt to think he could make it big.
Any crime show: the suspect is someone you’ll never believe
Me: is it the husband/boyfriend
Crime show: It was the HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND!
Doesn't happen all the time.
Cherchez le boyfriend!
I’m so glad they clarified the health insurance vs. life insurance and how Josh misunderstood what the insurance was.
I feel intrigued by your amazing crime investigation series, hope that the police officer rest in peace. 😢
Sad how it’s always a male close to them.
Sorry to diatribe on your comment. It obviously struck a chord, and I agree with you.
truth, these people turn into literal demons man its scary. God have mercy
I agree with you. Which is why I wondered if there was domestic violence as well. I know they think he was jealous of her successful career.
It’s called sleeping with the devil… We need to be extra careful who we let in in our life
When it's not the father then they picked him themselves
My cousin was a dispatcher for Cullman County PD. She and a police officer from the same county were in a relationship. While on a vacation, he went to his truck and got his pistol and walked back to the sidewalk where she was and shot her six times in the back.

Rest in peace, Jennifer. Such a lovely young woman gone too soon.
DON JUAN should be behind bars for the murder of Josh. It is pretty obvious he had a motive!! RIP Josh. You didn't deserve to die so young!!
The voice-over told us who did it right off the bat: Husband texted her worried about hearing about an officer down, much later he called dispatch saying he was worried, then fellow officers go and find her, at that point they put out the call of an officer down - note her husband's first text to her said he had heard about this officer down call "Before it Happened!"😠!
People are out here unknowingly marrying their murderers 🤦🏾♂️
I knew it was the husband because he sent a text message to her stating babe are you OK because they said a officer was down in tosa. Now after the third message he called the station and no one knew where she was she didn’t answer. And then of course two officers happened up on her because that’s where they would go to finish out their paperwork and reports. How would he know there was an officer down if the police department didn’t know. He was so busy trying to cover his tracks that he jumped the gun.
He didn’t have PTSD , or any of that he planned it he just screwed up when he wrote that text message. He is a snake and a psychopath.

Poor girl she is living inside that box. God bless those 2 who lost their lives.
I really like the style of repeating the facts over and over. I kept forgetting where the policewoman was shot so what a relief to be reminded multiple times. However I wasn’t too clear about how the husband reacted to his wife’s murder when he was in the interview room. What was that he flipped over again?
The minute I saw the flipping of the table, I knew it was him.
I lived a block away from this shooting at the time...on Church St. (Dec 24, 2012) when I woke up that morning, I saw the blue police lights blinking through my shades and thought the neighbors across the street had installed beautiful Christmas lights overnight...that is until my mother, who lived downstairs in the duplex, called to tell me the police were at her door and wanted to talk to both of us. I ran downstairs as fast as I could only to tell them with the cold, our windows were all closed and we heard nothing.
The police command post was near our backyard. (We lived on a corner.)
Btw, the "beautiful blue lights" I'd seen were the 4 squad cars blocking the intersection in front of our house.
Mom, the best murder mystery detective in the family suspected the husband immediately--because of the facial shots.
This was 11+ yrs ago, but seems like just yesterday. 😢
