I really want to know what she loved on him? I could see on their wedding day, that he didn't love her. She was all smiles, full of happiness, and he barely cracked a smile. His patients knew him as a doctor, not as man and or husband, he wasn't their friend. Having an excellent job doesn't mean you are a good person. I hope he rots in jail, what a monster .
I feel so bad for Elana’s children. Their father can seek parole in 14 years. That is not justice. He deserves life without the possibility of parole. RIP Dr. Elana Fric 🥺😢
I did my undergrad with Elana, hung out with her all the time, we had a small circle of friends, she was amazing. Everything she did appeared effortless. I hadn't spoken to her in years before I heard the news. Life just gets too busy. This was a huge loss for our society I don't understand people like him.
I can understand his patients feeling surprised, but none of them should have spoken up on his behalf without having the whole story. Abusers are often very charismatic with those outside the family. Having a stellar reputation is part of what they do to hide their crimes against women. He's where he belongs, but14 years seems like a really light sentence. P.S. Of course, it's not Elena's fault, but MY GOD. He threatened to throw his own infant daughter into the river & blame Elena. And she took him back, and even had two more children with that monster. WOMEN, PLEASE LEAVE. LEAVE AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. AND NEVER LOOK BACK.
I dont know who needs to read these words but, if he strangles you during an argument its a sign you are eventually going to end up dead. This happened to me, it gets worse each time. Make a plan to leave and escape 🙏
It is amazing how much a narcissist can fool outsiders into believing they are caring, gentle, and kind....when in fact that is a complete act to gain influence.
You gotta wonder how proud his parents are now. They played a role in having such high expectations of their children. This is what happens when you breed a malignant narcissist who cares for no one above himself. He doesn't even care about his own children, whom he clearly resented.
You can see at the wedding his body language wasn’t the same as hers the love was not mutual. Once again it’s the children who suffer. I’m just relieved they have excellent grandparents to look after them, the children are probably a blessing to them in the excruciatingly painful loss of their daughter.. 🙏 to you all for the future
Ana is the typical Slavic Gran (Baka is Croatian for Gran) - brimming with love, kindheartedness and the wisdom you gain from a life filled with hard work...and she probably makes a baklava worth fighting over 😉
I have a feeling he was so arrogant that he believed he was better than everyone and was doing her a favor by marrying her, I think he only fought to save the marriage because he saw divorce as a failure, so when she dared to reject and divorce him, he flew into a rage. Just a thought.
Just watch the wedding that says it all, he did not feel the same way she did, what he did to her was absolutely despicable. Her mother is so clearly heartbroken, my heart goes out to her. He deserves life, meaning life.
My ex boyfriend was super possessive n I was head over heels in love. But my father was not at all convinced later his intuition was proved soo correct.. I am thankful for giving me such a great father
RIP Dr. Fric. Our society puts an immense amount of pressure on women to be perfect. The perfect wife. The perfect mother. The perfect career woman. A hard lesson to learn is that your happiness and peace is more important than the image you struggle to produce. For anyone out there struggling with self-worth/self-image I have one thing to say to you. YOU ARE ENOUGH. Life is too short and too precious not to live genuinely. I speak from personal experience and have never been happier.
Please get out. I almost didn’t. I remember the night that I thought was my last, and my baby daughter was sleeping in the next room. You and your drams are worth it. Your children are worth it. Your family is worth it. You are brave enough to do it.
This was my neurosurgeon. I saw him quite a few times. Couldn’t believe when I saw the papers. He definitely fits the bill of an abuser. Ruined his kids lives and countless others.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to see the mothers pain, especially when she spoke about how she didn't recognise her daughters body at first, my heart goes out to her 🙏❤️
"No chance of parole for 14 years.." Wow...the Canadian justice system is weak. That is insane that this murderer could still get out and live the rest of his life as a free man. Sad.
Of all the husband abuse then murder stories, this one has affected me most. I feel sick to the stomach about what he put her through their entire relationship
This hurts so bad because my mom died from an abusive husband who isolated her and me and made us feel like nothing and her name was Elena, and Russian.
This is such a very sad story. This woman was amazing and lost her life with her children just because she chose to end the relationship. I'm happy the loving grandparents have taken over raising the children. They seem to be very wonderful people.
That poor mother - she knew her daughters husband was a predator. The loss is too great for words..... Those kids are better off now unfortunately. Elena was A martyr for their family
His ego, controlling ways and then rejection, couldn't handle it so he killed, the bastard. What's the point of years of studying to become a doctor then then be a asshole behind close door. RIP Elaina 🙏
The most dangerous time is when you're leaving. WIth a history of DV, it is important to be careful at that time. She thought she was safe because of his job...but when someone is in a rage or having revenge fantasies, their career is not something they are thinking of...they are just driven by emotion. Don't rationalize an abuser's "good side." The bad side will win out. My story is here on YT and I got out of an abusive relationship. During our last physical fight, I was sure someone was going to die. I managed to get out. I'm sorry Elana didn't get out. I have called Facebook, Fakebook for years now. It's important to be honest, at least with your friends, and let people know what was going on. Rest in Peace, Elana.
The people with the most amounts of "proof of the perfect love story" on social media are usually the ones suffering in silence. Nobody has a perfect marriage. My parents had pretty close for almost 60 years. They NEVER had flowery words or staged photos. They loved each other til the moment they died. My mum still got butterflies of excitement every time he walked in the room. They were 100% committed to each other and their children. They did not need to convince the rest of the world. The 5 of us knew in our souls that we were loved and if we needed anything, we are the 1st person in each other's lives to call. Facebook, no thank you. It's for liars and cheats. I don't need to tell the world who I love, that person knows it and that's all that matters. Ladies, get away from these monsters. They don't change EVER and your life is not the price you should pay for love. There's help out there, get it and get away.
The neighbour with the long blond hair seems really sweet. It must feel awful to be providing emotional support to a friend whom you know is being abused and then to have that friend be murdered by their abuser. She's pretty clearly wracked with guilt over it.
Mom's instincts are the best intincts. Sometimes people outside can see much more than we can up close. if he can hit you once, he'll hit you again. May Elana rest in peace.
Just about any time a woman disappears and her husband or boyfriend says "she ran off with another guy", they usually find out he did something to her. So sad!!! I hate that poor Elana thought she was safe because her husband would never sacrifice his career. Unfortunately this type of murder is rage induced and defies logic and intelligence.
I really want to know what she loved on him?
I could see on their wedding day, that he didn't love her. She was all smiles, full of happiness, and he barely cracked a smile.
His patients knew him as a doctor, not as man and or husband, he wasn't their friend. Having an excellent job doesn't mean you are a good person.
I hope he rots in jail, what a monster .
I'm one of the few that got away from their abusive husband. I'm alive by the Grace of God 💔🙏RIP all the women that didn't make it 😢
My husband was an abuser; ALL my family members and friends thought he was absolutely
WONDERFUL, he was so cunning.
That's why I don't believe all social media, fancy pictures, happy smiles, love and stuff like that. This is really fakebook.
The most dangerous time is when the victim tells the abuser she is leaving him. Have an escape plan, don't tell him, be safe and never look back!
I feel so bad for Elana’s children. Their father can seek parole in 14 years. That is not justice. He deserves life without the possibility of parole. RIP Dr. Elana Fric 🥺😢
I feel this poor mother's anguish. Girls leave if your man even raises his hand once.. no one has the right to abuse you
I did my undergrad with Elana, hung out with her all the time, we had a small circle of friends, she was amazing. Everything she did appeared effortless.

To Elena’s mom: She knew how much you loved her. Anyone can see the love you had for her. 💜
I dont know who needs to read these words but, if he strangles you during an argument its a sign you are eventually going to end up dead. This happened to me, it gets worse each time. Make a plan to leave and escape 🙏
It is amazing how much a narcissist can fool outsiders into believing they are caring, gentle, and kind....when in fact that is a complete act to gain influence.
She must've been a lovely woman if her mum is anything to go by, what an absolute sweetheart that lady is. My heart goes out to them all.
You gotta wonder how proud his parents are now.
They played a role in having such high expectations of their children. This is what happens when you breed a malignant narcissist who cares for no one above himself. He doesn't even care about his own children, whom he clearly resented.
My cousin was stabbed 32 times by her Doctor boyfriend. Murdered in her own bed. Can happen to anyone RIP 🙏
Just cause your a high ranking doctor or title to a job doesn't mean you dont have an evil side.
When she said "honey what marriage" that was really sad for some reason 😔
I hope anyone in a volatile relationship, please get help. They won’t change. You deserve life and happiness.
''When someone shows you who they are , believe them the first time' Maya Angelou. Damn right!
I love the parents of Elana. They're so strong and warm. Especially in how they love and take care of their orphaned grandkids.
Her mom's tears broke my heart, RIP Elena.
You can see at the wedding his body language wasn’t the same as hers the love was not mutual. Once again it’s the children who suffer. I’m just relieved they have excellent grandparents to look after them, the children are probably a blessing to them in the excruciatingly painful loss of their daughter.. 🙏 to you all for the future
Ohhh Mama, your Elana knew you loved her. Please don’t torture yourself.
For a neurosurgeon, he isn’t very smart.
Anybody notice how she leaned in and happily kissed her husband at “you may kiss the bride” but he didn’t kiss her back?
This is so sad..she was a victim of domestic violence but she had her parents support- should've left him the moment he started being violent.
Absolutely devastating. I feel extremely sorry for the children. That man is a monster.
14 years for murder, what on earth, the system and court system is really sickkkkkkkkkkk
Is this seriously so hard for people to understand? He got a life sentence. He's ELIGIBLE for parole in 14 years. Go look up what "eligible" means.
One consolation is that he'll never be a doctor again. His precious career is over forever.
1:15. "friends called them a Hollywood couple". Well, that's no compliment. Even something of a curse .
The husband looks so stoic in the wedding videos
Don't believe everything you see on social media, guys 🙅🏻
NARCISSISTS ARE NEVER SATISFIED AND DESTROY EVERYTHING ALONG THE WAY AS THEY ACHIEVE/CONTROL.
I got away from my ex husband. It was not easy it had to be done. Thank you for sharing this story may Elana rest in perfect peace.
The mom is so brave and so articulate, focused. That’s a strong lady.
I'm so glad Elana's parents have her children. I think that's the best place, the most loving home, they could ask for after all of this.
I always hate when the parents of the killer get the kids
Ana is the typical Slavic Gran (Baka is Croatian for Gran) - brimming with love, kindheartedness and the wisdom you gain from a life filled with hard work...and she probably makes a baklava worth fighting over 😉

No one lives a fairytale....no one.
Just b/c someone is a doctor, doesn’t mean they aren’t violent to their loved ones.
My god, this was utterly devastating. You can feel her poor mother's heartache.
I just want to hug her mother. I could feel her pain and it made me want to cry.
I hate to say this but 2 minutes in, I knew the husband did it. Sadly, we keep hearing this story over and over. 😔
My ex was such a nice 👍 Man too everybody but he was the Devil 👿 in the home 🏡
Just watch the wedding that says it all, he did not feel the same way she did, what he did to her was absolutely despicable. Her mother is so clearly heartbroken, my heart goes out to her. He deserves life, meaning life.
Sociopaths and narcissists are never sorry. They don't care about anyone.
Ladies if your husband or partner is abusive leave immediately and don’t tell them.
The doctor was raised by a wonderful mother who will now influence her children...abusive men NEVER change!!
My ex boyfriend was super possessive n I was head over heels in love. But my father was not at all convinced later his intuition was proved soo correct.. I am thankful for giving me such a great father

Ana should not feel sad about not having been able to tell Elana she loved her one last time. Elana knew 💗
Almost always the most dangerous time of a relationship that involves domestic violence....when one partner is ending things. So tragic.
He will be out in 14 years. Way to go Canada.
Jesus Christ. How hard is the word "eligible" to understand? He got a life sentence. He's just ELIGIBLE for parole in 14 years.
The body language at the wedding spoke volumes....
Please get out. I almost didn’t. I remember the night that I thought was my last, and my baby daughter was sleeping in the next room. You and your drams are worth it. Your children are worth it. Your family is worth it. You are brave enough to do it.
The definition of "Momma knows best" Anna Frick it's a hero...God Bless the kids
This was my neurosurgeon. I saw him quite a few times. Couldn’t believe when I saw the papers. He definitely fits the bill of an abuser. Ruined his kids lives and countless others.
He should never practise as a surgeon again!
I remember this story. He is pathetic. RIP to Elana and bless her children and family.
I agree with Anna, if you are being abused, get out and stay out, and call police if you have to. Such a loss and sorry for the family.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to see the mothers pain, especially when she spoke about how she didn't recognise her daughters body at first, my heart goes out to her 🙏❤️
Everything that glitters ain’t gold 👌🏾🤷🏻♀️✌🏽
Wow, is Anna's mother ever insightful!
Never envy other couples, just pray and Ask God to bless yours instead.
"No chance of parole for 14 years.." Wow...the Canadian justice system is weak. That is insane that this murderer could still get out and live the rest of his life as a free man. Sad.
Controlling person, He shouldve been lifting her up rather than breaking her down. insecure person
if anyone hits you in a relationship, run from that person, protect yourself and never look back
His body language at the wedding... he was so out of it and not happy at all
My heart goes out to her parents , her poor mother & her children!!! SHAME on that Pos!!!! So sad and disturbing 🙏☹️🧡
My boyfriend was sweet to my family and friends but was a devil towards me.
What a wonderful grandmother and mother she is.
Of all the husband abuse then murder stories, this one has affected me most. I feel sick to the stomach about what he put her through their entire relationship
Typical narcissist. His parents must be proud.
This is so scary how these women are completely in love with these men and then these men turn around and murder them it's just scary
This hurts so bad because my mom died from an abusive husband who isolated her and me and made us feel like nothing and her name was Elena, and Russian.
He’s a monster as a mom myself I feel her mother’s pain Rest In Peace Dr.Elena
This is such a very sad story. This woman was amazing and lost her life with her children just because she chose to end the relationship. I'm happy the loving grandparents have taken over raising the children. They seem to be very wonderful people.
I feel so bad for Dr. Fric's mother and father ! How sad to lose their miracle baby but at least they have their grandchildren ! 😞
Blind love. Once they hit you.. run as far as you can...
Do not go back to him.
That poor mother - she knew her daughters husband was a predator. The loss is too great for words..... Those kids are better off now unfortunately. Elena was A martyr for their family
His ego, controlling ways and then rejection, couldn't handle it so he killed, the bastard. What's the point of years of studying to become a doctor then then be a asshole behind close door. RIP Elaina 🙏
What a sad story, daughters should listen to their mothers for the love of her children.. Disgusting psychopaths will never stop the abuse.!
I just teared up..Hearing the grandma..What a rock she is😍
I’m so sorry for your loss, Mrs Fric. Elana seems like such a great person. Her kids are lucky to be in such a loving home now.
The most dangerous time is when you're leaving. WIth a history of DV, it is important to be careful at that time. She thought she was safe because of his job...but when someone is in a rage or having revenge fantasies, their career is not something they are thinking of...they are just driven by emotion.

Her mom is such a sweet women 😭
I'm in shock!! I worked for this doctor as her receptionist for 5 years! What!!!! I can't believe she was murdered 😲
man, i FELT that mothers pain!! i wish i could wave a magic wand and take ALL her pain away for her......
What's wrong with Canadian justice system... Why is it so lenient? Does anybody know? I'm just lost for words.
God bless the children and all their supporters. The father not only killed a beautiful soul but also damaged three beautiful little souls. 🙏🙏🙏
Some men are more comfortable with the dark ages. They can’t handle an independent woman. ❣️
Please use the resources available to get help in cases of domestic violence. RIP Elana. Good job on this episode

Oh sweet Baka, my heart goes out to you and your beautiful grandchildren. You are all beautiful people and I pray your hearts find healing. ❤️🤍❤️
He is dead behind his eyes.
The neighbour with the long blond hair seems really sweet. It must feel awful to be providing emotional support to a friend whom you know is being abused and then to have that friend be murdered by their abuser. She's pretty clearly wracked with guilt over it.
The daughter was so brave to speak the truth about her father. I am happy that the children have amazing grandparents.

That mother is one sharp cookie. She knew immediately everything that didn't add up.
This is tragic...such a gifted and loving person enduring so much abuse.
