Florida’s Crystal Pifer case: Boating death cover-up backfires
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2020
- On the night of August 11, 2015, Thomas Prins planned to take Crystal Pifer out on his boat on the Halifax River in Florida, a boat he bought from Crystal's ex-husband -- a boat he knew had mechanical problems. More: bit.ly/2TIl9AK
To all the women reading comments: My Mom told me this - "If someone ever hits you once, no matter how many apologies, flowers, gifts, etc. - don't ever see them again. If someone can hit you once, they'll do it again." TRUTH ladies. (Obviously, same applies to men, too!)
TRUTH
Truth indeed

I can attest to that! I got married young cause I wanted to get away from my mom & stepdad. Three months into the marriage, he broke my nose & blacked my eyes. This went on for 8 years! I was too proud to tell anyone. Even though it was obvious. This went on & every time he would apologize & swear it wouldn’t happen again! Then he would threaten to hurt me & my family if I left him. I believed him. Six years in, I got pregnant. I didn’t have any plans for kids but 2 years later, she was the reason I finally had the courage to leave. I was afraid of him hurting her. Even after the divorce he wouldn’t leave me alone! Later, I met a man from another state & he asked me to marry him & move. So I did! Even though my attorney told me that I absolutely could not do that. We eventually moved back here & he contacted me about seeing his daughter. I told him that he could pick her up from my husband & he wouldn’t do that! If he had to face another man & not see me, he refused! He never tried to see her again! Then 2 weeks before her 18th birthday, she died from a brain tumor. I let his sister know. He didn’t even attend her memorial service! He’s lower than chicken shit!
How did a girl like that end up with this gross guy?
He must have a lot of money
Florida Man has many powers.
Drugs and money
Florida man... place is the home of... ::insert negative adjective::
Yep what is he ugly.
The initial call by the older gentleman with his daughter should've been enough to dispatch the police over to help her! Why did they wait for the second call from the husband?? Apparently, that was way too late!! He already knew his wife was gone, the call he made was just a CYA (cover your ass)!! Poor beautiful lady! May her soul RIP!
Some people just don’t give a shit. 911, someone is beating her? Nah, things are ok.
Exactly!
How did you know he was old?
It's not like they can send a cop car. They'd have to get the water police or something. That takes time. They DID get there.
At 22:45 Crystal says “I don’t want him (Tom) to hurt your daughter.” And swims back to her abuse. The fact that shows how much she cared for a stranger shows what an amazing person she was. Her brother broke my heart. May she rest easy 🥺
This reminds me to stress with my daughter what to do if a man who claims to care for her, ever lays a hand on her. Some poor gals just do not understand that there is no excuse, and it will only get worse. A man willing to do that in the first place, does not change. Women need to realize that and get the hell away from him whatever it takes.
Oh she's a nightmare
Who else feels like the first 911 call could hv saved her??
ye
She should have saved HERSELF
When her brother beat him up for ABUSING her the FIRST TIME.
Yes
Yes. There's no sense of urgency.😭
seriously what is wrong with cops
You don't have to even be a detective solve this case, the man killed her.

They're cowards that's why.

It’s because they don’t want to be catch and they want to be innocent like they did it over defending themselves
I feel bad she worried so much about the daughter she probably wouldn't have been hurt because crystal was the target but it is common for abuse victims to be ashamed and not want others to get hurt
21:34 The dude looks like a giant toddler. The world is grateful that his arrogance and/or stupidity prevented him from uttering the words, "I'd like to speak to an attorney."

When he said "not even 5 minutes ago"then says, ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO 😂
He's terrible liar.
@@freddiesandoval5047 erm thats so negligible why even point it out.
"Not even 5 minutes ago, maybe 10 minutes ago...". That's not how math works, buddy.

Not so much!
😆 was hoping to see this comment!
😂😂🤣🤣
And her brother somehow found this guy 'articulate'. 🤨
What's sad about domestic violence is that when you going through it you almost in a state of shock because you can't believe what's happening. As bad as it sounds you try to fix it..and the whole time it's still getting worse and worse! The thought of everything going good and getting better overshadows your better judgement. Some people snap out of it and other wait until it's too late
And the worst of it is you believe it's your own fault - I didn't warn the next lady in the abuser's wife as I thought I had probably provoked him🙄🙄 We were also in a business relationship, and he had taken over control of all my finances, and I felt helpless without him.
Really!!! domestic violence isnt new and have been around for centuries so why would you be shocked if it happened!!!
women hate nerds and intelligent people and tend to like these type of on the edge guys. I bet if she was approached by a guy who spoke proper, well educated, wouldnt hurt a fly etc she would have still taken this guy over the one that she could push around .. So, why complain about things you look for in a man !!!
It's a TRAUMA BOND. Experts say it stronger than heroine addiction and harder to break
The guy who tried to rescue her is a gem🙏🙏🙏
And Crystal too. Poor brave lady.
Beautiful inside and out.
Note to self: Never light up a room...
that's what I always say. These murder victims always seem to have been the life of the party
Vaughan Hamilton the aspen lady is the only “bitch” that i’ve seen them do a story on😂
nazsic I watched one recently about a stripper and her mother was very forthcoming about her daughter, she clearly still loved her despite obviously disapproving of her lifestyle.
It was very refreshing to actually get an accurate description and I actually felt a lot more sympathetic towards someone who seemed realistic, despite her being by far the most reckless victim I’ve seen.
Haaaa. Damn. Your comment beats mine. Good one.
haha they only cast people on Intervention if they "used to light up a room"
That guy James Wagner with the boat who tried to rescue her was very brave. He acted like true hero and a gentleman. She should have stayed.
Sad part about that...he risked his well-being, his daughter's well-being, and she would have survived that night to take him back after they both sobered up. He did the right thing but the irony is defeating.
His boat could only carry 2, so if she stayed, it would have meant leaving his handicapped daughter with that monster until he could come back for her. That monster would have hurt that girl, Crystal knew that, and made the ultimate sacrifice. I wish she would have called her mom from the restaurant :( RIP Crystal
@@ronibopshop Well he had a fishing boat it definitely would hold more than 2 people. It was the small rowboat attached to that that supposedly would only carry 2. She could have stayed there they were fine. In fact the dinghy would most likely have also been fine for 3 people to ride back to shore. The reason she went back was because she was afraid her boyfriend would harm them. Plus lets say they couldn't make it back all 3 of them on the dinghy. Then they could've waited in the fishing boat for the police to come. I know what part you are talking about but I think that is just an assumption made by someone at the crime watch show or something.
@@NikkiC777 It's so sad 😞 I really wish things had turned differently. At least that horrible jerk is in prison.
@@ronibopshop It is sad. It's absolutely horrible that that happened to her. He is in prison where he belongs and he will never be able to hurt another young woman. I feel sorry for her and for her family.
That brother really broke my heart. He wanted to stop his sisters abuse cycle but he couldn’t. My brother helped, rescued and forced me away from my abusive ex n at the time it really was a hard pattern to stop with all the love bombing after abusive episodes. It’s all manipulation.
Battered and beaten, terrified. Still went back to protect others....sacrificed herself. I can name on one hand the amount of people I've met in my lifetime that have that much courage. She was/is amazing!
She was drunk and dumb. She’s not a hero for abandoning her child for this landscaper 🤡
@@divinecommerce3912 On one hand I can say we all see things differently. On the other I can say maybe I wasn't paying as much attention to the story as you. But then again, by the likes on my comment, you just might be crazy. I won't decide, I left all 3 options to the public.

She could have done wayyyy better !!
Thank you for covering this tragedy. I'm from New Smyrna Beach, neighboring to Daytona Beach. This guy was a real creep. Crystal didn't deserve this, but then again who really does, right? Sending prayers and comfort to her loved ones, especially her son❤
I agree I'm from Ormond bch and worked on this man's vehicles many times I would have never thought he was a monster.
why didnt he deserve what he paid for? who decide who deserves what and why was she better than him !
Always the same story good looking girls go for these types of guys while rejecting the good and decent men out there who would treat them right. I know you might think I'm one of those guys who blame woman like an Incel nope I'm on my 2nd marriage happy for 25 years. I dated was rejected many times by these types mostly because I was shorter than most men. My friend's sister was like this she always had mean disrespectful men who were tall good looking had money she loved trying to make them happy.
Prayers!!!
What exactly is your intended outcome of prayers?
Resurrection?
Reincarnation in another form?
😂😂😂😂😂
“Creep”🤣 dude is a murderer
Don't argue with anyone when you don't have protection on you. I don't argue with anyone period just because you never know who you're dealing with even if they're family.
It shouldn't take so much to arrest someone. People are gonna lie if they're guilty 99% of the time so needing a confession is shouldn't be a thing. I've seen cases that we're undeniable according to evidence but just because a person won't admit to the crime.
Side note don't give every ugly guy a chance
You shouldnt be afraid to go to a bar dressed up because youre afraid someones gonna assault you. Its the same logical rule and basically you shouldnt be afraid to speak your mind
Why didn’t the first dispatch call respond anyway? That would’ve saved her life!
Exactly!
9 out of 10 times they won’t 🤦♀️ Too busy eating donuts
I’m guessing they called it off when the guy calling them said the girl was going back
@sue downey - she was strangled. She was dead when she hit the water - no fluid/water in her lungs. I agree they should have responded from the first 911 call. That dispatcher needs to be retaught his job.
She was dead already when she thrown off the boat
“He beats me because he loves me” .... what my neighbor said when others told her to leave her abusive bf. Ladies, if a man beats you he doesn’t love you. Move on with your life!
There’s a lot of mental abuse and breakdown of the person’s self esteem before the abuser takes control. At some point. Your neighbor would’ve been made to believe that how she was behaving wasn’t right and that he was “correcting her” for her good. Which sounds logical but isn’t.
I just don't get this women for me even pointing a finger is a very huge red flag
I will never understand how a woman stays with a man like that! I’m blessed I e never had an abusive bf but damn, I feel for those girls. I guess no self love will do that.
@@Kaigirl27 I honestly don't understand any of them. I suspect there's a lot of sexual fetishism involved. After getting beaten up, they go on to have sex and more children with them. Idon'tgeddit!
She was just 20 dating a 40 year old.. out wouldn't be easy for her . A man who could be old enough to b her father would talk his way through her. And she would stay .. poor girl
She was strangled and thrown into the water then he went on to say that she had jumped off the boat. Killers lie all the time more than ever. Justice was served. RIP Crystal
Boat can only take two people? Give me a life jacket and tow me.
How is that creepy old dude with that pretty young gal? He looks like her grandpa.
For some reasons younger girls go for older guys.
The first time he touched her she should of left and never talked to him again. But damn it if they don't go back.
She was addicted to meth. There are many mugshots of her showing her decay. That's why she was easily manipulated by this ugly goblin
@Dodge Ram Nailed it
@Dodge Ram but she could have found a better looking supplier...he's bad
Sv Vr exactly. I saw 4 mugshots and it was grand theft, stolen property , contempt of court. She was beautiful but she was on a path of destruction.
Ladies if a guy is abusive don't ignore the signs. LEAVE !! I know it can be hard but it’s definitely not worth your life 🤍
Also, dont do meth.
You say leave like it’s easy, lots of woman feel trapped and have no where to go or feel there will be more retaliation if they leave. Sadly how it goes
Ghost in the Shell those scratches are from her trying to save her life after he strangled her with her own bikini top
There are reasons SOME people have no place to go, lots of times people have alienated their family and friends because of abuse or drugs. If rather sleep in my car than get beat up
We need to define abusive.
Mentally. Physically. Emotionally.
If he is controlling, jealous of everyone you know even family. If he throws a fit, screaming, yelling, gaslighting you when he doesn't get his way.
Say good bye AFTER you are safe and far away from him. It gets worse, and it can and will last a lifetime.
Damn he even said “after we got in an accident...ughh I mean an argument” guilty right there
Tyce Abbott I noticed that too.
Tyce Abbott isn’t that like a Freudian slip or whatever
@@nota4688 SURE IS! He kept slippin ! Oh my hand prints will be on her neck from sex. Oh I was all of my clothes...on and on and on he confessed. IDIOT
Yes, he let out a freudian slip!
“Uh not even 5mins ago maybe 10mins ago” 🤦🏾♀️
Bad choices have consequences
Oh. When she expressed concern for the strangers daughter, someone she’d never met, my heart broke. The world lost a good one.
So he has a history of beating her, was last seen violently arguing with her on a boat in the middle of nowhere, and she washes up the next day with bruises all over her face and body. I'm not the world's greatest detective but still...
Remember they were drinking also. You aren't in the best shape to swim anywhere with alcohol in your body. Just saying. And he was punching her in her head, she probably passed out in the water and died but he caused it!
@@catrinahartz944 well no she died from asphyxiation. There was no water in her lungs, did you even watch it?
they need evidence bud they knew he did it all along
Yes and the cops didn't look for her. "She swam to shore" and they towed him in.
Ya, I’ve seen them hold people for less (knowing they’d get the evidence they needed).
He’s obviously a flight risk.
The nature of abusive relationships should be taught in the early part of high school. This tragedy is repeated so often.
I totally agree. It should be some type of class teenage kids take to recognize the signs and how to get out of a abuse relationship or person.
Condoms and safe sex are taught in 7th grade yet teenage pregnancy is on the rise. Do you really think public schools are successful at teaching? In the US alone the illiteracy rate is on the rise, high school drops outs increasing. You want the schools to teach how to spot abuse. Why not just have send the kids a link to true crime daily, wouldn’t that be enough. Do you really need a curriculum in a public forum to teach kids about abusive relationships? Most kids can’t label 50 states correctly if given a blank map of the US. At what point are the parents not responsible to be parents? Abusive relationship is so vague in terminology, it could apply to just about anything. “Mom, the teacher forcing me to read chapters 11 and 12 in one night, when i was supposed to watch twilight has turned into an abusive relationship and I think i need to report her.” They are teens, you actually think they are listening to the teachers?
@@marknasia5293 🤦 dude stop. Sex education is great and people do learn from it. There is nothing you can do because of the tiktok and all the stupid trendy social media mentality. If some popular teenage kid on tiktok gets pregnant you bet your arse the mob will follow suit and you'll have teens getting pregnant just because it's cool. Abuse isn't a broad spectrum, the moment you see a child being beaten, with bruises a over the body, when they are belittled, mocked, bullied and shamed for who they are then you don't say "hmm I wonder if that classifies as abuse" you go straight to the authorities and say "THIS IS ABUSE". If my kid goes and says that I didn't let him play Minecraft and told him to do his homework and he'll call CPS , do you know what the guys on the phone will say" WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST" and hang up.
There is nothing wrong in teaching kids what abuse is. Instead of shoving down their throats that they have no gender or they are gay or to accept pedos as "humans with special need"( like they do in UK) it's better to teach them self defence, how to get away from abuse, how not to get pregnant and not follow everything they see online.
Not all parents are perfect, there are people that were abused and now they abuse because that's the only way they can cope with everything. There are people that are sick in the mind and don't even classify as human beings. We are all different and there are people out there that behave worst than animals. It benefits to have someone else tell you what an abusive relationship is, sometimes you don't see it yourself. I didn't see it that my parents favour my sister over me until my husband pointed it out. How she gets to do whatever she wants, she screams at my parents, insults them and has tantrums at 21. While I'm here working my arse off, getting mocked for my life choices that don't even interfere with anyone or have any negative impact on anyone, constantly told how to parent my child, gaslight into sending him away to spend time with grandma and grandpa that spend every day and night with guests or out and about during a pandemic🤷🏻♀️. Being cared a stuck up b when I said "don't hand my kid to people I don't know" and then have the kid handed to the whole village. I didn't see because I love them.
@@01wonderful any parent that thinks that schools are there to teach basics of life, like abuse is wrong is failing as a parent. Thank you for pointing that out. And if you look as statistics, countries with little or no internet, or tiktok have some of the highest teenage unwed birth rates. You really are forgetting there is an entire world besides 1s world/developed countries. Even telling me to stop, laughable. Using terms like “gaslight” seriously thanks for sharing all about your family, Schools are failing to teach children reading, writing and arithmetic, proper non-biased history and the classics. They don’t teach cursive handwriting and are completely failing students. I saw this first hand in 2001 of how teens were graduating HS, but couldn’t complete the first semester/term at a local college because they were ill prepared. Public schools are horribly unaccountable for failing, and yes, the first responsibility resides at home. If you allow the “village” to raise your child good luck with that, it doesn’t work in trailer parks or section 8 housing, history is proof enough. Why ask public schools to teach something that should have been taught by the parents? Another good reason that parents shouldn’t entrust their children to daycare, too much. Sometimes, of course baby sitting and day care is needed; however, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. If parents would stop dumping their kids off as daycare being ran with good people, (not saying they are bad people) but most people working at a daycare are not “Childhood development graduates” they normally are highschool drop outs, mothers desperate for work and this doesn’t make them bad people, just maybe not the right person to be influencing children. I left the US in 2004 when i realized that what was acceptable as far as a lack of standards was too much. In society, entertainment, religion, public education, a lack of any reinforced standards, not to mention the shell shock i had when i realized how many parents were over medicating their children on permanently mind altering substances as a chemical baby sitter. I was working in a govt job interacting with teens about to graduate, and they couldn’t do simple math, fractions, long division, etc. They couldn’t actually do basic math without a calculator. I worked daily with public schools in 3 counties going to a different school about ever other day. There were 14 schools total 1 of which was private and very expensive. The smartest teens, (because i was involved in testing them in a multi battery aptitude test) were actually the homeschooled teens. Many were under a program being supervised by a local church etc, but these were the kids of parents that couldn’t afford the super expensive private school 2K a month, and didn’t want to fail their kids with public school. 2 of the 13 public schools actually did a pretty decent job of educating the teens. They were large schools and had strict principals had a total hands on approach to trying to get that children (hound adults) to succeed or to set them up for success. The other 11 schools were a complete waste of taxpayer money, basically young teen daycare.
I understand abuse, and before schools can really teach concepts like abuse, they need at least one person that has 90 post secondary education focusing on counseling concerning abuse. Abuse is such a broad and generic term it will be coopted into teaching trends. Daycare could teach abuse is wrong. Whoever you are talking about throwing tantrums at 21, “why don’t they have their own place, own job and own bills, that would do wonders to not give them time to have tantrums, especially at 21.
Do you normally silence people’s opinions online?
Stupidity should be a crime
Such an awesome little brother. So sad. Thank God for so many bystanders and may God bless that man with the handicapped daughter that tried to save her. May he have peace and comfort knowing he did all he could do, in Jesus's name. Amen
I've physically defended two women from there abusive boyfriends. They both said the same thing "don't, he'll hurt you" in both instances the only thing I suffered was being a little out of breath.

"She's not a very good swimmer" sounds like she was swimming just fine every other time she jumped in the water and why did they not send someone out when the guy called 911 the first time
Police really don’t like any involvement into domestic disputes sadly
Her kindness and selflessness regarding his disabled daughter is so heartbreaking.
I don't believe that shit. She prolly felt bad having a young girl see such a wreck of a woman as a disappointment. I totally believing she jumped out of their boat out of shame and not wanting to lose her meal ticket with the troll.
@@bdmenne Wow, you sound bitter.

@@deannamarshall8894 I know shame. It takes over your mind & body. And if you know shame, it is often born in early childhood where our Shane care givers put it, (to feel better themselves) that is an addicts dream though.

And a good father-figure in the Good Samaritan Could literally throw her back in the water as shame-facing is OFTEN “worse than death”.

The first time that man called the dispatcher..they should have sent somebody out to do a welfare check on her.
dispatchers dont give a dam about any case ,they want to figure out the story while people are getting killed ,they are stupid workers
Exactly!
A patrol boat responded to the 9-1-1 call that night but didn't find Prins, Pifer or their vessel. Prosecutors said Prins had turned off his engine and lights and was drifting off channel to avoid being seen. (Taken from an article)
Exactly, they could save her life
@@sanchez831tech I agree.. they should drive off once the caller tells the location of the incident, but they still questioning him .. so terrible
Condolences to Crystal's family. Her sweet spirit will live forever in your hearts.
Yes violence, harassment, stalking and others evils need to be exposed and be brought to light.
The way the dad says he just wants ten minutes with him and then smiles the way he does…I wish he was able to get his ten minutes
This is sad and horrible, as a DV survivor, this is a wake up for anyone staying in an abusive relationship. She went on the boat with him after she returned to him from previous abuse. my Dad's advise when I said he will kill me if I leave. Dad "He has a better chance to kill you if you stay." There are resources, get out
Best move you ever made in that situation.... ain't no point sticking around....
At some point you have to decide “I’m either going to stay here and live and die as a prisoner or I’m going to at least try to free myself and have a chance at life.” So many of us have been there. May GOD bless this poor girl’s soul and may HE bring as much peace as is humanly possible to her family. 🙏😞✝️🥀💔🕊
@@OGitGirlJess very true....
I'm glad you made it out alive.
So sad. Its a choice to stay or leave
Wow , after enduring a beating from this man she’s offered a ride to safety and she was worried about the handicap daughter and turned down the help. That speaks volumes to her character heroic act she can be remembered by .
I felt that way too. Although she was drunk and perhaps she simply went back to him because of abusive relationships are like yo-yos. Back and forth back and forth. but it is nice to think of it like that. My hat's off to the Good Samaritan that was willing to help her. He tried everything to get her to safety. He must feel really bad. It's a shame that people's poor choices in life can visit their misery on others. Every life has value to someone even for those that don't value their own. It's sad.
@@ritawashere5787 If you are witnessing this abuse and just let her go without waiting for the police or following her home... You're not that good of a person
She was an idiot
Chris Richardson this girl jumped into the sailboat dingy which was probably float a few feet behind his sailboat. He doesn’t know what’s going on & it’s dark outside with his handicap daughter onboard. He did what he could for her. Honestly he did more & offered more than most would in his shoes. He offered her refuge until someone could get there at risk to himself & his daughter. What was he supposed to do? She jumped back into the other boat & they floated away in a matter of a minute. I think the guy in the sailboat was a hero that night & had he not called 911, there wouldn’t be a record of the ongoing drama between the 2 people. It’s not like he could just step in between dude beating her ass.... HE WAS ON SAILBOAT! I can promise you that if I didn’t know these people & I got girl telling me the boyfriend would hurt my child, that would be the extent of the help she would get from me as well. She was offered help & chose to go back & only she knows why. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
After a long history of bad choices, this is just one more bad choice that led to the end of her life.
Beside this tragedy.
What a beautiful mother.
If she was such a beautiful mother she would be with the biological father
One time me and my parents were out on our boat drinking at an island and the boat kept stalling and the way home and me and my mom got in to it and i jumped off and swam to shore and walked 4 hours home but was still about a mile away when my mom pulled up in her car to pick me up (i jumped off near a bar about 5 miles from home, i thought itd be an hour walk tops)
So the boat stopping and going made it take them forever to get home to our creek so when they finally did, she hopped in her car and found me and she was freaking out because i was 18, drunk, walking home in the dark in only a bikini.. it was a dumb move ill admit, but it was just a heat of the moment thing and i was too stubborn to go back.
Lord thank you for letting me make it back safely. ❤
Oh my god I HATE this guy and I’ve never even met him. Not letting her grieving mom come get her clothes?? EVIL.
note: ask friends and family if you light up the room and if they say yes, dim down.
Savage 😂
Damn... i don’t even know what to say to that...Brilliantly heartbreaking statement. I can’t imagine ever saying that to my daughter. Yet, so true.
Lmfao😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or shine brighter but pay close attention to the people around you
Bring these kind of videos back
I'm a life long boater. I have been on boats my entire life and I'm 50 years old. I have owned several boats and have worked on many other boats. When it comes to starting a boat engine, especially an older boat, it's not like a car. There are no anti theft measures built in. You can easily start the engine without the key simply by "jumping" the connections on the back of the ignition. But...that would take a few mins to rig up even for experienced boaters. On the other hand, on old boats such as this, the ignition switch could be bad and able to be started with a screw driver or even a dime. Don't take me wrong, this guy did it. But they made it sound like the boat could never be started without the key. That part is simply not true. On brand new boats and engines it is all electronic like a new Mercedes. Some are push button start with an automotive type key FOB so they are not easy to start without the key. But this guys boat was an old one, looks like a 1980's Bayliner with a carburetor Volvo inboard/outboard engine. Nothing electronic about it. Hell you can start the boat by bridging the positive battery cables on the starter solenoid with a screw driver. But again, it would take a couple minutes and would be tough to do while holding the phone with 911 on the line.
“She was happy until one night she wasn’t”- Moving statement...
#personalitydisorder
No one knows if she was ever happy so that was annoying
Agreed
ive been looking for this comment🤣🤣🤣
To everyone in an abusive relationship: GET OUT AND DO NOT GO BACK!
Please and thank you.
It’s sad it can be hard to.
I'd say be smart & don't go in in the first place,,, but they won't take that advice,,, just like they won't take your advice...
The danger seems quite thrilling
@@jamiedavid8023 you don't see them coming into it's too late.
Thanks we never thought of that problem solved
I'm so sorry for your loss 💔
May crystal RIP 🙏
"He didn't seem like the right guy for her". Well, what was the concern? If you have a concern, then give good reasons. smh
"She going back because she is afraid he'll hurt my daughter." In a moment like that thinking about that. It should be appreciated.
I agree- that breaks my heart. I commented on it previously. So selfless and caring.
Exactly, it shows what an amazing person she was and such bravery. Really sad her life had to end like that
You have no clue what she was thinking when she jumped off the guys dingy. She, like a lot of people, say shit to save face. Chances are she felt completely ashamed that a little innocent girl was seeing her example. A Drunk-wasted desperately sad/abused, sex and $$$$ obsessed single mother who allows herself to be in that situation repeatedly.
@@bdmenne yeah plus I believe she was drunk. Nobody in their right mind will keep jumping off a boat in the dark.
@@bdmenne woof, could you be any more bitter?
She went back to her abusive boyfriend because she didn't want someone else to get hurt may her soul rest in peace 🌼🥀
The greatest gift to another is sacrifice. She sacrificed her life to save another..
she could have stayed in the boat with the guy and his daughter and waited for cops to show up. its not like the police only have cars and bikes.
no she went back cuz she was dumb af
@@steviejrr amen.. shit pisses me off how dumb. Guy on boat was prolly armed. He wasn't worried bout nathan
@@steviejrr Exactly! She was an idiot. Simple as that.
She chose the violence to protect that handicapped daughter cos that father showed her kindness and protection but she knew her abuser would go to absolute lengths to get at her😢...bravo beautiful woman,I truly believe you tried to save yourself but chose to preserve thee lives of that father and daughter...MYSRIP,Amen!
Hitting another wether woman or child, is evil. Stop teaching your child it’s ok. Hitting a woman is not ok!!!!!! A child is not ok!!!!
Just so everyone knows, the man was convicted and sentenced to life.
I mean they said that in the video
I like to watch people play battle royale better so I can play arenas and get the best of both worlds. Honestly BR isn't as fun to play as a "downtime game" and arenas makes it a lot more fair. That's what Apex Legends did right, they provided more than other brs.
@@Kevin-McLaughlin What does video games have to do with this. You must have been high.
We know we WATCHED IT
ItsDevlcon why comment it if we already know that he was convicted and sentenced, they had already said this in the video
Owning your own home does not make you a good guy or gal smh 🙄 Lots of good people rent or are homeless.
100%!! We've been brainwashed to believe material wealth or possessions mean nice stable person.
Then there's the crap load of absolute monsters who have their own homes and businesses, for people who have dark thoughts it seems the more money you have the easier it is to do (and get away with) the most awful things, such a sad shame for this girl and all the others still n his predicament 🙍🏻💖

Not a single moment of true sadness from anyone. That's so sad.
So why didn’t the police come when that first guy on the boat called??

@@maiqtheliar2465 You know she's not being literal right?
@@NeverGoingToGiveYouUp000 she typed three letters how is anyone meant to know if she's serious
Her mother said if she knew she was getting abused she would have helped didn't she also say her daughter called her because the boyfriend had hit her and her brother beat him up
I didn't understand that either. She knew her daughter was being abused. I would have locked mine in a basement before I saw her go back to him. She knew, the dad knew, and sorry, but the victim knew her ass shouldn't have gone back to that boat. The abuser wouldn't have faught a real man, they never do! Even in the call, the man told him, she's not going back over there, even told her, that man wasn't going to hurt his daughter. She went back because she wanted to. So sad!
Saint Nic abusive relationships are really complicated it’s not all black and white. It’s not just physically abuse but also mental abuse. They make you feel worthless and like you have no one. You loose yourself and they make you feel like you deserve to be treated that way, or that it’s normal. It’s really hard to get out of those type of relationships. You can’t force someone out of it, they have to want to leave and have to make the choice themselves. I know it’s hard to understand and doesn’t make since but that’s just the way it is.
carson branz it’s not about that. It’s about her mom saying “if she knew”. She knew
Right she spoke about going to pick her up bc she was being abused but then says she didn’t know she was being abused... huh what? Lol
I know right? What’s actually happening there?
The initial 911 call that operator dropped the ball completely. When the older gentleman called the first time with all that information received should've been them coming smh 🙌🏿❤️.
Who keeps raising these cowards. Bro, this is the type of cowardly men that's terrified of fighting other men.
God bless James Wagner who so sincerely tried to help.
This guy is my favourite narrator. That other LADY, is INSAAAANELY ANNOYING. The way she EMPHASISES different words kills me.
Pretty sure the narrator is Chris Hansen.

@princewish ikr the only way this could get better if the narrator was Morgan Freeman lol
J W I likes you and I wants you 😂 (boondocks
Get over it
This is the same story with the same result. Battered wife/girlfriend leaves, then goes back until eventually they end up dead. If they don't ask for help, or accept help, the result is predictable. She swam from safety back to her abuser. Sad story, but not an isolated story
Articulate? More like unintelligible... he sounds like he has sardines in his mouth
@B B That would only explain the part about him sounding like he has sardines in his mouth
lamontshandy BAHAHAHAHA!!!😹 sardines in his mouth?! LMAO! Oh I laughed so hard! Thank You!
Looks and sounds like every meth addict I"ve ever come across.
lamontshandy he is soooo unattractive, and sounds like a moron !!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
What a failure from that 911 dispatch and police for not going out sooner.
Seems like it, but who knows, maybe they get a dozen of these calls a day.
I know. Shit how many people have to call 911 about a girl jumping off a boat because she's scared or fighting. Geez.
What on Earth does a girl like this do in a relationship with a peasant like this Thomas character. Rest in peace Crystal!!
abuse never ends, it escalates. never EVER think its just one time or it ends
"she jumped off the boat" lol this guy did himself no favors doing all that talking.
They talk about “Child support” but out here caping heavy with “Bitch support” don’t throw him no LIFE JACKET...Let that clown sink bc he can float too 💯💯💯
I’ve heard of a person being PUSHED off a boat but never ever have I heard of someone JUMPING off 🥱....He’s GUILTY as HELL 💯💯💯
Casey Levins whyhuujjjnnn
"She jumped off and took the keys."
As he is turning the ignition with the keys.
The microphone on that call preserved the truth. He deserves worse than a cell.
@DenialDeceitDelusion no water in lungs or stomach... you weren't paying attention...careful there judgey judgey.
@@ShayMarie.00 not all drowning victims have water in their lungs. You obviously forgot like the rest to do your research.
Once you get away from someone who hurts you - physically OR mentally - never ever ever go back.
that first call could have possibly saved her life man….911 calls like that disappoint me
My condolences to the family 🙏
“Thomas wasn’t the most appealing looking guy” but he had money. Moral of the story, don’t sell your soul.
How can you even say this man was “articulate”?
He didn't want to say he was ugly👹👹👹👹
Carla Beckford Lmaoooooo
😂😂😂
This family's description of people is overboard,no pun intended .
I can't for the life of me figure out how the cops were never dispatched throughout this entire ordeal ?!
The cops show up if I have my music up too loud on my boat.
Clearly intoxicated, operating a boat, domestic violence, boat in distress floating out to sea, multiple Whitnesses and multiple calls to 911... wtf
I can't believe he even got convicted.
This is a huge fail by our judicial sysfem. The police are 100 percent at fault here. There Is absolutely no way to prove she didn't get hit by a boat, or killed by someone else. I agree he deserves to go to prison, but this was a complete failure on everyone involved for letting this happen... I would have sued that dispatcher and the police department immediately.
And not to mention a final call, reporting a missing person who went over board?!!?!?!?!?!?!
Fisherman had to find her ?
Why the f*** wasn't anyone looking for this poor girl? Oh my God this makes me so unbelievably angry.
I actually need more on this story. Has the family considered suing the department for this ? I'm so confused. I must be missing something. There is no way this is the whole story.
A desperate and drunk single mom without regard for her child 👋
He seemed like a such a loser from the get go. I don’t know why she was with him in the first place.
She wouldn't have been with him if he was a pizza delivery guy, that's all I'm sayin'.
Out of pity. Women feel bad for the losers and end up hurt in the end.
His a control preak has lots of money i guess
Cos she was a loser
Because he had his own business a home & she was a single mother looking for stability
As soon as she heard about his daughter she immediately gave her life before theirs she didn’t deserve anything she seemed like a true beautiful brave soul
It was her burden to bear. I expected nothing less. No big deal here
She seems pretty stupid to me for not leaving a Place where she’s being beaten by 2 men
She was a little too worried in my opinion abuse victims seem to care about others well being more than themselves sometimes we're trained to think we're not worthy of safety but other people are 🤦
We do deserve punctuation when reading online comments, though. 🙄 Why does this have 119 likes?
My heart goes out to you Crystal and to the rest of her family. What a senseless murder so tragic. I hope he rots slowly and painful in prison. RIP Crystal.🙏
Too much drinking within an already toxic & volatile relationship is a recipe for disaster.
She is so selfless I love that she sacrifices her life for the strangers daughter.. if u think of it it's sad

Sounds like a really methed up situation.
