It’s really sad that it took her getting kidnapped for people to open their eyes and help her. How many other women and men suffer the same type of terror.
Sadly, I think his access to money and resources (tracking, multiple online telephone numbers, cameras, spying etc) made it especially hard for LE to catch him breaking the restraining order
To be fair though, there has to be undeniable evidence in order to make an arrest. Plus, sometimes people make things up and there's often no way of knowing the difference. That must be absolutely terrifying and maddening for those who really need the protection.
not only did this woman survive an unimaginable ordeal, but she took her hard-earned money and gave it straight back to her community. such a beautiful human.
@@savage_optimist It said in the video that there was no money left. He somehow hid it. She was not only left with nothing, she had to pay off HIS $750,000 debt.
I hate to say this.. but I’m thinking she is using still. The mother anyway. Her speech and the way she is delayed it’s just.. maybe she was an addict for a long time
I’m very surprised Shanda didn’t have time to meet and thank him before this moment. Her life could end there when kidnapped. This police man has good instincts and should be raised in his job! Too bad if they didn’t do. That is why a lot of crimes happen, because a lot of smart men are choosing more rewarding jobs!
Despite his addiction issues, Michael had the mental stability to organize his plan to harm Schanda. Insanity my arse, just narcissism at its finest. Officer Martin is the epitome of what law enforcement should be. 🙏🏻 for Schanda and Isabella.
Yes, I agree. I also wish he was caught in that rip\tide with those two assailants /. I would have given anything to have seen their moment of horror when they realized their end.
👍❤️too bad she never did have time till this moment to thank him! I’m just madly surprised! I guess he never got rewarded from the department too! Probably that is why a lot of smart men choose others jobs! Why somebody would put all efforts and skills in profession you are not reworded? Sad!
I CAN NOT BELIEVE LAW ENFORCEMENT. I was once thrown across the room head first into a couch where I was knocked unconscious. I was pregnant at the time and when I went to the ER I had a brain scan that showed brain swelling. Police still wouldn't press charges and I was denied a restraining order from the man who did it. "This is why women don't report abuse" is so spot on. No one believes you. The cop gave me a paper to fill out and take to the courthouse "If I wanted to press charges". Disgusting.
I can't understand how there even allowed to have male police interview a rape victim since male cop's are stone cold misogynist's and extraordinarily unlikely to believe any sexually assaulted girls or woman no matter how accurately the crime scene matches the evidence or how well witnesses corroborate the victims statements.
Shaunda invited me into her house bc to get me out of a situation I was was so I stayed with her for a few weeks, and the amount of Grace, humility, and self worth she has just blew my mind knowing what all he did to her I am so proud of her, telling her story and just so grateful she is a part of my journey ive never met a woman with such bravery, courage, strength and self worth in all my life, he tried but he DID NOT WIN, SHAUNDA I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, AND FOREVER GRATEFUL GOD STEERED ME YOUR WAY TO HELP STRENGTHEN MY JOURNEY! And Bella is SO GROWN SHAUNDA! SHE WAS JUST 14 A COUPLE MONTHA AGO. You raised a remarkable woman. 48 hrs did an amazing job leaving out the disgusting gruesome details
Aww bless, it’s so lovely to see a true friend coming out sharing this remarkable woman’s shocking experience. I hope that life is kind to you too. With Much love & blessings from Scotland xx
👍❤️, nope… even Schanda did not thank him till this moment. Maybe he saved her too quick? She told that felt more terror after kidnapping! I wish all police men be like this one with the skills and right instincts!
That guy is such a selfish creep. Lots of people have issues with addiction, but don't go kidnapping someone, or stalking them. He's just an evil narcissist........... I'm happy they showed her reuniting with the cop that rescued her. He deserves that recognition, and she deserves that closure ❤
Those kidnappers were the Dumb & Dumber of kidnappers. You see a cop behind you so you act MORE suspicious by speeding off on the shoulder right in front him? Thank God for their stupidity and for the diligence of an off duty officer. Horrible experience she went through but she's still here and making a difference in others lives. A happy ending in my book.
For me is surprising she never thanked the man who literally saved her life. Yet saying after that kidnapping moment she lived worse fear! How can she say that? Probably because she doesn’t realize that she was supposed to be killed at that moment and not going through next terror! I wish only such officers would work in the police department and be rewarded for their skills! Looks like he never was!
@amberjheard Yes lol i was thinking this and like when they came back for the daughter, to kidnap her as well. She just says no to them and they r like ok🤷 and leave her 😂😂😂
This is literally the best story to turn into an amazing movie. The twists and turns as well as how the suspects died and the recording of him and them.
Mental illness and insanity should not be any excuse for serious crimes like this. If someone is insane and violent it’s more reason to keep them locked up
Shaunda, this is a long shot because i know there will be probably thousands of comments out there but if by chance you are reading this, THANK YOU for your heart of gold. as a childhood domestic violence survivor i am in awe of your tenacity and strength and i'm so beyond thankful you are safe and well (as much as you can be considering the unimaginable horror you've been through). obviously i'm sure that you are working very hard to stay safe so i would never want to try to find your info or anything like that. but just thank you. i can't put into words what an inspiration you are to me and i know so many others. i truly do hope that you and your daughter continue to stay safe and enjoy all of life's most beautiful moments together. god bless you. please know that you are loved and supported by your survivor sisters worldwide. thank you.
Blessings and prayers Shanda & Isabella. May God continue to protect,, comfort, and bless you both you are both incredibly courageous and strong. Your strength and your strong spirits are such an inspiration. 🙏❤
What a strong woman! Such a powerful example of: never give up!! It is great how this horrible experience never broke her or her daughter! How inspiring they both are! I wish them all the best in life!!
NEVER EVER EVER let anyone take you to another location. If they try to get you to go with them, go down kicking and screaming to your last breath. I promise you, if you comply, things will only be worse. Better to fight to the death than be raped, tortured - possibly for weeks or more - just to be eventually dumped in the woods. ETA: This was just general advice. Every situation could go pear shaped at any time . I'd do ANYTHING to protect my daughter.
I've heard that too, and it does make sense. But there are times when it seems criminals give you no choice, no matter how much you scream and fight. I'd say if the kidnappers are aggressive and experienced enough and are being paid a lot to do the crime, no amount of saying "no" and refusing to cooperate with them would make much difference.
💔 Schanda is the definition of courage. Domestic violence is terrorism by someone who you’ve trusted with friendship. She’s turned a devastating situation into a lifesaving mission through her generous heart.
Don't think I've ever watched a more inspiring story than this. What an amazing strength you have Katrina and to turn your life around into something so positive. Truly inspirational. I wish you and your girls all the luck in the world. Your story has reached the UK!
the cops ignored her over a dozen times pretty sure they deserve no support here. the kidnappers were a means to an end for the rich white husband, they didn't deserve death. they deserved adequate living conditions from the beginning of their life so they were never lead to this path.
The kidnappers were amateurs they drowned out of stupidity 😂but I’m glad they didn’t take the daughter didn’t seem like they wanted to hurt anyone doesn’t sound like they took the moms friend they jus did it for money but the husband should be charged with their deaths
@@storytimeisallthetime2120 They stripped her naked, drugged her, threatened to rape her and were going to take her to that shed, to torture her. Doesn’t matter how rich or poor their backgrounds were, they deserved to drown for that. I agree tho about the cops, the cops who ignored her all the times she told them he threatened her and even broke in, deserve no credit at all.
That officer is the only one in that whole department that has my respect! Great instincts, he saw something off and he acted and because of that a woman is alive today and a psychopath is off the streets. Thank you sir for your hard work and dedication to do the right thing!
@@liliivanova2920 True, yet you cannot say they would have even thought of kidnapping +, had it not been for him. If I serve you too much to drink and you die, do I get off scot free, even if you choose to leave without my knowing?
Mom and daughter are practically clones of each other, I can’t get over how much they look like each other. They’re also very strong and admirable women, I really admire them. Also, someone else commented on your intro music. I agree, it’s perfect!
A police officer that deserves respect. Proud of you sir for being an honest cop. Who really set out to help a person and left them with their dignity intact. There are some good officers. Thank God
This is probably the 4th time that I have watched this story and I would so love to meet her because I just think she is phenomenal at her story will never grow old for me. In fact I find her and inspiration for my life and at this low time I'm glad to have watched this yet again and now I am going to go and get her book. Not something on a computer or a tablet but a book that I can keep with me forever
How I wish all of these cases had the same ending as Shonda's. I'm glad to see at least one case that has a survivor. Hopefully she is now able to live a normal life.
Not turning back to drugs but helping others instead. A strong woman. Thank God her prayers were answered n the officer was there to help her. Indirectly helping others he never met as she is alive to help others.
What a strong woman you are. Great example to anyone going through stuff. No one cares about videos or pictures we all humans. Please keep praying for guidance.
The crying during the deposition is so fake, switched on and off. He got off so easy. Her smile at the end towards her daughter is so full of gratitude and knowledge of how different it could be. 😢❤❤❤
That cop saved her life. Thank God he was at the right place at the right time and his gut told him to pull them over. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here. I really wish they would've either locked him up for life with no parole or handed out a death sentence. Society is better off without men like him. The kidnappers got what they deserved. I was so glad they drowned and she didn't have to worry about them coming after her again...along with her evil ex-husband.
Very heartwarming story. What a brave woman and who made tremendous strides to overcome such terrible circumstances. Your daughter is lucky to have such a strong Mom!
I really appreciate David Begnaud being assigned this story. Someone who can pronounce South Louisiana names correctly! What a horrific situation to go through. I hope he stays in prison his whole term so Shaunda & her family can go on with life & be happy. I also hope he’s in the scuzziest prison in Louisiana.
If this woman would have been killed, her death would absolutely be on the police department's hands 100% as a matter of fact, this entire ordeal is on their hands because she called for help NUMEROUS times and was turned away every time. They should be ashamed. This is exactly why so many women are abused everyday and don't report it because they aren't believed and then it makes the perpetrator act even worse! Shame on this department
Thanks Schanda for being that inspiration in spite of your ordeal. Thank God for answering your prayer for help while being kidnapped and being able to help other women overcome their DARK situation.
Thank God she survived that horrible ordeal from her crazed and manipulative monster ex-husband! God must have heard her prayer while she was about to be assaulted and sent an angel in the form of that good police officer. Good thing too that the judge had seen through the dramatics of a psycho and gave him the maximum term of imprisonment. I admire Schanda for her brave spirit First time I'd seen a 48 Hrs. story with real happy ending.
If more people took women seriously and ruled as this judge did in giving 35 years, maybe less men would feel entitled to lord over their partner's lives as though they owned them. Glad that he's in there for that long and I hope anyone like him sees the same.
Officer Chad is a rare gem in law enforcement, I went thru several scary nights, finally got my ex arrested. After a grand jury, they charged him with 42 counts of assault, his attorney , my attorney and the judge got together and dropped it down to one count and planned a fishing trip. I don’t trust the legal system anymore.
Wow! Just WOW!! I have a new hero! As a recovering addict, I love what she has done with her life. What an amazing woman! I love that God answered her prayers so quickly. This is an amazing story (and a somewhat happy ending!).
I’m soo glad they got their life back. The policeman was incredibly vigilant in spotting someone wrong . I’m sure she would have been murdered. I don’t know if he was given a medal for his bravery, but he deserved recognition of some sort. Well done 👏 x
What an amazing graceful lady and role model. May God grant her a long life of service to her community who need someone this special. May Schanda and her daughter be forever blessed.
End of story is the doors that should always be opened, after the horrific mind and physical abuses. She maintains her wits and becomes compassionate to others. She shows the tremendous stamina that woman are capable of, and turned all that she endured into positives toward the future. Not only for her family, but for pretty much complete strangers... we should all be able to carry a fraction of what she's managed to accomplish ❣️
When she got the ransom note for (and from) her husband, saying pay up or we'll send him home in pieces, I would have replied, "Please don't send the pieces here. I want nothing to do with him."

@@liliivanova2920 True, yet you cannot say they would have even thought of kidnapping +, had it not been for him. If I serve you too much to drink and you die, do I get off scot free, even if you choose to leave without my knowing?
Absolutely the BEST 48 hours ever!
Gotta love seeing a malignant narcissist get their due!!
Mom and daughter are practically clones of each other, I can’t get over how much they look like each other. They’re also very strong and admirable women, I really admire them.
Also, someone else commented on your intro music. I agree, it’s perfect!
I don't see it. Mom has so much work done
😮 just amazing that she was rescued almost immediately
Isabella is smoking HOT! 😮❤
She was/is truly blessed!
I had no idea this happened in my town. This is crazy. So glad she is safe
You will be surprised what happens in your town.
I am a little over an hour from Laffy
A police officer that deserves respect. Proud of you sir for being an honest cop.
Who really set out to help a person and left them with their dignity intact. There are some good officers. Thank God
What an inspirational lady and lovely daughter too.
This is probably the 4th time that I have watched this story and I would so love to meet her because I just think she is phenomenal at her story will never grow old for me. In fact I find her and inspiration for my life and at this low time I'm glad to have watched this yet again and now I am going to go and get her book. Not something on a computer or a tablet but a book that I can keep with me forever
How I wish all of these cases had the same ending as Shonda's. I'm glad to see at least one case that has a survivor. Hopefully she is now able to live a normal life.
*Schanda
What a survivor. I pray for safety for Shaunda and her daughter and may that crazed man never gets out of jail.
*Schanda
This lady has amazingly good karma and deservingly so. Her courage is inspiring.
Not turning back to drugs but helping others instead. A strong woman. Thank God her prayers were answered n the officer was there to help her. Indirectly helping others he never met as she is alive to help others.
What a strong woman you are. Great example to anyone going through stuff. No one cares about videos or pictures we all humans. Please keep praying for guidance.
That officers wife will probably never yell at him for being late for dinner again. Proud family moment! A positive ending this time. ♥️
The crying during the deposition is so fake, switched on and off.
He got off so easy.
Her smile at the end towards her daughter is so full of gratitude and knowledge of how different it could be. 😢❤❤❤
That cop saved her life. Thank God he was at the right place at the right time and his gut told him to pull them over. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here. I really wish they would've either locked him up for life with no parole or handed out a death sentence. Society is better off without men like him. The kidnappers got what they deserved. I was so glad they drowned and she didn't have to worry about them coming after her again...along with her evil ex-husband.
Wow the mug shots..!!!!!!!!😂😂😂
Wow 18 years sober, thats awesome ❤
AMAZING SO PROUD OF YOU!!
48 hours delivers through and through. Thank you! Great episodes - great reporting.
The young police officer actually saved the daughter also. She wouldn't be who she is now if her mom were murdered! So he saved 2 lives! Imho.
I’m so tired of people using mental health as an excuse for narcissistic behavior, evil behavior and m#rder
@teddycustum it happens all the time. Mental illness is a great excuse for narcissistic abusers.
@Vlasko60 because regardless of mental illness, they sure know what's right and wrong. So they must be responsible for their actions.
Thank you 48hours for putting this full episode on
Very heartwarming story. What a brave woman and who made tremendous strides to overcome such terrible circumstances. Your daughter is lucky to have such a strong Mom!
I really appreciate David Begnaud being assigned this story. Someone who can pronounce South Louisiana names correctly! What a horrific situation to go through. I hope he stays in prison his whole term so Shaunda & her family can go on with life & be happy. I also hope he’s in the scuzziest prison in Louisiana.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER MAKE "PRIVATE VIDEOS" WITH ANYBODY! EVER!!!!
So true!!!!
Never ever.
Too late…
Agreed! Not even the sexy/spicey photos.
So glad the cop followed his instincts
Thanks 48 hours, for making my Monday sooo much better!! ❤ Have a great week all my fellow True Crime fans!
Those who talk about defunding police should be ASHAMED
If this woman would have been killed, her death would absolutely be on the police department's hands 100% as a matter of fact, this entire ordeal is on their hands because she called for help NUMEROUS times and was turned away every time. They should be ashamed. This is exactly why so many women are abused everyday and don't report it because they aren't believed and then it makes the perpetrator act even worse! Shame on this department
NEVER GO OUT WITH A NEWLY SOBER PERSON...!!!
Sobriety takes YEARS to overcome an addiction.
My first thought. She should've known that.
True, this!!!
That police officer …. Thank you . We need more like you
I smiled when I heard the current took care of them. Nature provided swift justice!
ive been bipolar and on drugs and i would NEVER even think about doing anything close to this.. thats not an excuse
100% this
Thanks Schanda for being that inspiration in spite of your ordeal. Thank God for answering your prayer for help while being kidnapped and being able to help other women overcome their DARK situation.
It is so disturbing to see that such an evil person can compromise your safety and peace of mind with virtually no consequences.
Thank God she survived that horrible ordeal from her crazed and manipulative monster ex-husband! God must have heard her prayer while she was about to be assaulted and sent an angel in the form of that good police officer. Good thing too that the judge had seen through the dramatics of a psycho and gave him the maximum term of imprisonment. I admire Schanda for her brave spirit First time I'd seen a 48 Hrs. story with real happy ending.
Wow! This is an excellent cop!! We clearly don’t have enough of them!!!I hope he got a promotion!!!
Bad news
If more people took women seriously and ruled as this judge did in giving 35 years, maybe less men would feel entitled to lord over their partner's lives as though they owned them. Glad that he's in there for that long and I hope anyone like him sees the same.
Perfect example of why women don’t come forward to report abuse. Because even when you do, you aren’t believed. Sad.
Officer Chad is a rare gem in law enforcement, I went thru several scary nights, finally got my ex arrested. After a grand jury, they charged him with 42 counts of assault, his attorney , my attorney and the judge got together and dropped it down to one count and planned a fishing trip. I don’t trust the legal system anymore.
Wow! Just WOW!! I have a new hero! As a recovering addict, I love what she has done with her life. What an amazing woman! I love that God answered her prayers so quickly. This is an amazing story (and a somewhat happy ending!).
💯 I wish you happiness and sobriety! Never give up! ❤
I’m soo glad they got their life back. The policeman was incredibly vigilant in spotting someone wrong . I’m sure she would have been murdered. I don’t know if he was given a medal for his bravery, but he deserved recognition of some sort. Well done 👏 x
What an evil narcissist ... he totally gaslighted her. I've been there, done that and thank God stayed strong.
Stay blessed dear lady ❤
What an amazing graceful lady and role model. May God grant her a long life of service to her community who need someone this special. May Schanda and her daughter be forever blessed.
It’s extremely hard to get away from a dangerous rich stalker who wants revenge.
End of story is the doors that should always be opened, after the horrific mind and physical abuses.
She maintains her wits and becomes compassionate to others. She shows the tremendous stamina that woman are capable of, and turned all that she endured into positives toward the future. Not only for her family, but for pretty much complete strangers... we should all be able to carry a fraction of what she's managed to accomplish ❣️
Amazes me people still open their doors without knowing who is is on the outside.
I NEVER do. I have a hell hound that is at the glass window in .4 seconds. That usually does the trick 😂
When she got the ransom note for (and from) her husband, saying pay up or we'll send him home in pieces, I would have replied, "Please don't send the pieces here. I want nothing to do with him."
Chad, you are an answered prayer... wow, what grace God had for these women and the officer
