I can't believe he got a plea deal with a massive sentence reduction without giving up the location of her remains. That's ridiculous.
I agree! He didn’t even tell the truth about what he did - it’s a travesty!
Welcome to liberal run shit hole cities with liberal prosecutors
I lived in Ashburn. It’s a liberal cesspool and they don’t punish criminals hardly at all. The prosecutor needs to be given the old Yeller treatment. She is a democrat who believes in reformative Justice
He said Trash compactor no?
Only 12 and a half years ?
Is that all 😮 it's hardly justice for what he did .
This monster will be free to kill again in the not too distant future .
The moment you lead police to remains you become very culpable in some kind of crime. Whether that be murder or desecrating human remains. You often hear people chastise a dependent for showing no remorse. But that is the same slippery slope. You show remorse you basically confess to the crime. As tough as it is, a jury will often times convict somebody that protests they are innocent. But it is impossible to get convictions on some of those people unless a deal is struck. It’s either strike the deal in which they admit to no wrong doing and get him sentenced for something or risk losing the whole case.
Sad case what is the worst thing she had an amazing husband and still wasn’t enough no one deserves what happened to her but I feel for the husband I really do congratulations on 500k🎉
You know, they were both quite young. And it does seem like they rushed into things. She seems to have wanted the man to take control and do everything, which is a bad idea. Not saying you should live separate lives, but you should do your own life also.
I feel Her husband Emile is the HERO here.
Yeah let’s not make excuses for her actions. Sad what happened but she put herself in this whole mess.
So if my husband cheats on me and impregnates some other female, does he deserve to die for that? Just wondering...
@@sabrinayetley1291 no but if he gets killed because the chick is psychotic?then He had it coming
He should never ever ever be left out it’s unbelievable 12 1/2 years what’s wrong with our system?
Thank you for your amazing videos! You ladies are always so sensitive with all of your content
Anybody buying the fell back, hit her head and died story?... It sucks that you have cases like that Stephen guy who lost it on live tv when the reporter told him a torso was found in a dumpster. Most of you know who I mean, the staring oddball, who was nailed for it instantly and then this case where over a decade goes by and still a disappearance, just wish something happened sooner.
Im sorry but your husband is going to be deployed abd risk his life the least you can do is stay faithful.
12 years? After all the abuse he caused to all these women? The system is ridiculous.
why did he get off with a plea deal after they already had a very strong case against him
12 years for double murder and destroy their bodies great policework
Truly a shame. I hope Kai and Emile are doing well today.
Her extra - marital affair was the root - cause of all this trouble ......... she betrayed her husband ...... doesn't she deserve to be scrutinized for her misadventure......... and yes 12.5 yrs is nothing ... who conducts these plea-deals ....!?!
@@shashinigam007 did u miss the part where they were having a seperation
@@fgcann5301she started cheating and moving in with another man. With their baby. Shame
She still didn't deserve to die.... @@Dilley_G45
So did she not have custody of her son? They never said where he was while she was first out of communication for three weeks....
12 years for killing a pregnant woman is sickening and her body wasn't even recovered. That coward deserves nothing less than life without parole.

@shashinigam007 I understand that the affair was the main cause of her death. However, she was pregnant and murdered he should have gotten more than 12 years in prison. Having an affair is no excuse for murdering somebody that man is pure evil.
Trump was right... They are not sending their best.
My ex tried to kill me I lost my 5-month-old that I was pregnant with he got 15 months and went on to the next victim. 12 years is quite a sentence if you ask me
@@melissajackson8957is there a question why the family of her did not report it until 3 weeks later I'm pretty sure they got on it immediately she might still be around
The soldier guy is a saint, I hope he’s doing better in life now
If I had a man like Emilio in my life, I would never let him go. Such a shame.
@@UgetTheMemoMe neither. Bethany was to blame for her demise. Monsters exist, but if you're are married to a nice, decent guy & have a child of his to care for & bring up, you should Nog be going anywhere near those monsters. How many of us are still alive, have nice relationships and grown-up children who are good citizens because we made the right decisions and were accountable for our actions?
@@Faristol7blaming the victim is disgusting, shame on you. Making bad decisions does not justify being murdered. You’re speaking like a sociopath smh
@@lob1248 In the first place, l don't think l was 'victim blaming' as you so vehemently put it. Nobody deserves to be murdered. But there are monsters out there, and there's nothing wrong with pointing out that a little common sense in the self safeguarding area goes a long way. Don't put yourself out there in any shape or form as a potential victim is what l tell my girls. This does not mean less freedom - it means making sure you protect yourself so you can carry on enjoying that freedom.
@@Faristol7absolutely … this new compulsion of everybody to bleat ‘victim blaming’ if anyone offers a sensible assessment of dangerous or unwise behaviour, is just ridiculous…
12.5 years? That’s ridiculous based on his terror and horrific treatment of Bethany, their unborn child, Vicki, and other victims.
He should never get out.
Thanks for the case coverage- I enjoy your channel lots!
I kno! Had to scroll down to make sure I wasn't hearing things. What a joke.
I wonder if the reason why his sentence was low is because there was no body found.
I read he got 40 years for 2nd degree. Saw this in 2 different newspapers
What a mf’r great job parents 👏🏽
I know it is a plea deal but goddamn 12.5 years is such a short time for murder. Given his history of violence it just blows my mind that he will be let back to society.
Shout out to Vickey for being amazing. Surviving that horrific attack and getting help is absolutely crazy. I hope she's doing okay.
Amazing no. Courageous, yes.
What a strong woman - honestly, props to her, that is some serious resilience and the utmost of will to survive
@@augustusplays7896 Sure that's gonna do a lot for your pathetic little Twitch channel, freak. I bet you and the other guy who posted before you (the one whose really living up to his screen name ... ) are the living embodiment of halitosis. You both say a hell of a lot about yourselves without saying much at all.
Why wasnt he charged with murdering her unborn child too? 12 yrs is just not good enough. Why do we keep giving violent, repeat offenders plea deals??? Our judicial system needs a complete overhaul to be effective on some level.
Yes, and we can't know if he told the truth anyway about what happened.
Yes it does. And as so many are against the death penalty I believe the criminals know they will get out. But if they get the death penalty they will pay for what they have done. Life in prison for the majority they get an education, medical, a bed and meals that does not sound like justice to me.
@@mouse9665 cos it ain't!!🙄🙄
I live in Australia 🇦🇺 we don't have the death penalty here but I wish we did, some people who commit brutal offences simply don't deserve to breath the same oxygen as every body else.
Too many countries (mine included) have let their justice systems go soft.
Criminals somehow have ended up with more rights than law abiding citizens how did that happen????
@Courtney Tunbridge so very true. And some countries change the criminal names 🤬 when they are released that's such crap!
There must be a new law in Every state that prohibits plea deals unless the victims body is recovered
LITERALLY!! It’s unfair to give the monsters more rights than the victims that can no longer speak for themselves 🤦🏽♀️
you do realize he could be found not guilty with no body right? that would be a lot worse thats why there are plea deals
@@tankthearc9875 absolutely but if he is taking a plea deal don’t you think the least he should have to do is tell them WHERE the body is? No body, no deal. i would rather have my loved one but that’s just me
And no plea deals for repeat offenders (history of violence) like this guy! 🤬
@@candicesheryn understand you dealing with a demon they don't care about anyone but themselves
If I had a guy as devoted to me & our relationship as Emile I would treasure him.
Yah, when she told him she thought they had rushed into things too quickly, what she meant was that she didn't have enough time to bounce on other guys' laps.
Men like Emile and women like you need to do a better job of finding each other. Maybe your type is too rare:(
I agree! I’m a DV survivor and when I met my now husband, I couldn’t have asked God for a better man, I absolutely adore him. Never thought I was meant for a happily ever after, just sadness
Her extra - marital affair was the root - cause of all this trouble ......... she betrayed her husband ...... doesn't she deserve to be scrutinized for her misadventure......... and yes 12.5 yrs is nothing ... who conducts these plea-deals ....!?!
@MikeM-wj9shMore like can’t trust men.
12.5 years is just so gross. He got barely anything for the attempted murder, too, that was absolutely brutal. These people should NOT be able to plead out. Unreal. I’m glad he got something but 12.5 years for 2 lives, essentially, is sickening.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 500K! Well deserved, ladies ❤
12 5 years is insane
@@nickyblue4866 seriously! It blows my mind tbh
@@WhisperingMoon83 Its an absolute outrage, as surely as that man physically outraged her.
He assaulted one woman, killed another and her baby, and attempted to murder another. 12.5 years?. Should be life in prison without parole.
No body convictions are almost impossible to get. This plea deal was negotiated with the family’s consent and allowed them to get closure in knowing what happened to Bethany. He will be deported once his sentence is complete.
Gotta feel sorry for the husband & his child
well he was a simp, id never go back to her after shacking up and getting pregnant
@@tankthearc9875not really, he truly loved her and wanted to be with the mother of his child, that is not simping, he just wanted to have a family. It was her decision to cheat on him, which was obviously very wrong and with a person that seemed to be a walking red flag. Emile definitely didn't deserve the outcome and she didn't deserve to be killed by that psycho either, eventhough she cheated on a good man.
@@timecode37 well thats a simp after what she did
@@timecode37dude getting back with the woman that got pregnant with another dude is something only a simp would do
Is it just me that wonders why no one in the family done anything until 3 weeks later !! The number of red flags is nuts and yet nothing was done !!!
Because she clearly was a terrible mother and wife. Goes awol a lot and has an affair on her husband. Her family know she’s a POS
Vicky is a very strong woman. The hell she went through with that devil and managed to make it out of that relationship alive. You go girl!
She chose him,. Good men get nothing, trust me I seen It all before, they choose violent types, and now she is lost, strong my assze she wanted it, I know so many men, good men who get nothing
❤
Right?!! She had her neck broken, something I would have thought a human being would not be able to survive if broken in just 1 place, but she had her neck broken in 2 places! If that wasn't enough, this monster shot her 3X, at least 1 of these bullets hitting her head, losing her an eye, & all of this is on top of the physical beating/biting. I don't think I don't know if I will ever find the proper words to describe how much I admire her & her strength clearly has no bounds. I think she's right though, there was divine intervention here. Because of what Vicky went through, Bethany's family have some closure, nothing will ever bring her back, but at least they can move forward.
Right omg she survived all that and he was released from prison smh
Justice was not done for her since she has to live in fear of his release and inevitable future violence against women.
6 years for attempted murder and 12 years for 2nd degree murder bc they had to go by his word that it was an accident… he’s an evil monster. What a pos.
Should've got 13.45 at least by my math 🤔
He should have been penalized for not taking them to her body. They just believed him when he said he put her in a compactor.
@@LadyAstarionAncunin he should have gotten life in prison since he tried to kill one women and killed another… he’s like a serial killer.
@@BrenMurphy1 25 to life more like it.
Are you kidding me? He has proven he is a monster …. He gets 12 years total ?
Sooo she took a break from her husband saying they moved too fast in the relationship… but then moved a guy into her house that she barely knew?? I’m sorry but plz make that make sense
She was still practically a child. It is very common for very young women, especially when pregnant really young, to feel like they never got to experience life outside of said relationship. It isn't even about being single or not; It's about wondering if they were too young to decide "Yep, this person, forever" because they didn't get time to try other things in life. Underdeveloped brains and what not.
I'm not saying it's always the case. It is just quite common.
And unfortunately now she never gets to experience life at all, neither does the baby. Kai has to experience life without his mother and sibling.
@@staceyhunt6769 stop making excuses... i was that age not too long ago... we arent that naive... its basic survival
@SuicidalSummerSnowWoman Just because not everyone was, doesn't mean others weren't. Again, it is very common for people who settle down too soon to feel like they missed out on a lot life has to offer. It is very easy to find it all over the place if you bother wanting to look into it. I'm not saying that it is everyone. I'm just explaining what I've found from both watching other people in life, and from a lot of true crime cases. This is not rare. 🤷♀️
@@staceyhunt6769Why are you so keen to defend this adult woman’s actions? My children don’t act like that and they are barely into their adulthood. She acted poorly here.
@nicwelch There is a difference between defence and explanation. Additionally, you forget her mistakes cost her her life and the cost is very disproportionate to the actions. You also seem to show no empathy for people within toxic or abusive situations and relationships here.
She was not a criminal. She was naive. Neither she or the baby were the victims here. If you can't practice compassion why are you even on a true crime video?
One of the things I enjoy most is there is no loud background music. It's just your soft voice. Thank you for coming into my little world.
I’m gonna keep my mouth shut. I’m just screaming inside. Stupid is what stupid does. 🤦🏻♀️🤬😤🙄😑
She wasn’t even taking care of their son the baby was living with her mother , two weeks passed when they noticed she was missing, they didn’t find it weird that she didn’t even called to see how the baby was it was normal for her .
I noticed that. I kept saying aloud, "please don't let him kill Kai." Little did I realize that Kai was straight up living at Grandma's!
I noticed that too, in all honesty though given the not so lovely behaviour of Ronald it was probably for the best he wasn't staying with her as who only knows how Ronald would have treated another man's child.
@@joanodom2104 I thought that for a split second but settled more on "oh God please don't let him have killed Emil"
So often we all watch these shows and it's so often the beautiful innocent babies or the most kindest, decent most worthy of living a good life that end up getting taken.
I often feel these are precious souls humanity needs more of, not less and how overall we all lose by losing them.
I hope that makes sense.
It’s really sad that given everything there is to say about this tragic case, you choose to shame the woman who was murdered by an abusive, soulless monster. But if the baby had been in her care at the time and god forbid had gotten hurt as well, you would’ve blamed her for that too. She was very young and still figuring everything out for herself and her child. I’m sure she loved Kai tremendously and she deserved to see him grow up and not have her time on this earth taken from her. Next time, maybe let’s focus our contempt towards the actual perpetrator in the case. Not their victim.
@@angelicarose493 Who said people don't have contempt for the sociopathic monster? At the same time it is obvious that this woman was highly self centered. Cheating on a spouse, bringing a dangerous monster into the home with her young child, risking his safety and future happiness of growing up without his biological father not being with his biological mother simply because of her sexual desires were better met by someone else, and then later having her mother raise the child. My grandmothers were both young and poor when they had their first child and one had no mother to help her with childcare. No excuses for such self centered behavior that is why people are pointing it out. Any person not totally focused on themselves can see this.
I hate to look and say it like this… but her complete selfishness and disregard for her husband, child, and her own well being played a big part in this case. 12 years isn’t enough for that pos monster, as I believe he deserves a lot worse, but it’s sad to know this could have definitely been avoided on her part.
So did she not have custody of her son? They never said where they found him while she was first out of communication for three weeks....
They just casually skip over the that tiny detail about her cheating on her baby daddy honorably serving his country deployed overseas while she she is back at home cheating on him, having sex with a psycho, and getting knocked up by said psycho. Doesn't mean she deserves any harm but you are right when you say if she was faithful to her honorable soldier husband like she promised in her marriage vows none of this would have happened.
No body deserves to be murdered, but Bethany is a hot mess and full of trifling drama.
Two things can be true; she obviously shouldn’t have been murdered but she definitely courted misadventure with her choices.
I'm glad someone else was thinking this. No, she didn't deserve to die. But also, she set these things in motion.
SMH as a woman I'm sad for any woman who leaves a good guy for a horrible one. Knowing how hard it is to find a good guy 😢
It's amazing that that happens but it does, sadly.
She left an absolute ANGEL for an absolute DEVIL!
Why? She wasn't forced!
Anyway it take two to Tango 😫
It seems as if women are attracted to the bad boys.
To the Most deserving Ladies Of Crime. Thank you for all your work. Congratulations 🎉
😂😂😂
🥳🤩🥳🤩🥳
Well done ✅✅✅
It was obvious to me from the beginning who the prime suspect was. Her friends knew the new boyfriend was abusive and controlling so I’m really shocked why the cops didn’t consider him a suspect from the beginning. I wish things worked out with Emiele bc he really loved her and was amazing and she would still be here and I’m also happy that Kai is safe bc I was wondering the whole video if he was with his mom. I’m disgusted at the “justice” system per usual they have failed.
The cops did know. But knowing and being able to prove something in court are two very different things. No body convictions are almost impossible to get. This plea deal was negotiated with the family’s consent and allowed them to get closure in knowing what happened to Bethany. He will be deported once his sentence is complete.
@Heather Gottlieb no body convictions arent impossible. There have been a decent amount. especially with forensics coming so far and tech
@@pinkpugginz clearly the CA and deputy CA didn’t feel that there was enough evidence to get a conviction without a body. Sometimes justice looks different than the way we thought it would or should.
They should have been granted permission to access her FB account earlier in the case...
@@brennuvargr4638 it's more complicated. Especially a decade ago. Back them, social media platforms and phone services had the choice to release those records or not. The FBI could only request it.
Thanks for this update. I can’t imagine what Bethany’s family have gone through in the last 12 years. HOWEVER, both sentences he received are ridiculous! He’s a violent repeat criminal! Also, congrats on 500k! Well deserved!!

You might be surprised on how some people that have committed the most horrific crimes get such short sentences. My channel covers true crime and we covered a case where a 15 year old named Mary Vincent who was kidnapped and the monster CUT off her arms and stuffed her in a storm drain. Thank God she survived and was able to walk (with no arms) to get help. And you know what this monster got? 8 years. that's it.
@@TheTwinFiles was that the hitchhiker? When it got to that part and she was pleading with him to not hurt her or let her go and he just gives her some short answer and all of a sudden he is chopping at her arm and takes it off, my jaw was on the floor. That was incredibly horrific.
I feel most sorry for Emil. He seems like a great guy. I at least respect Bethany for telling him she needed to take a break from the relationship and not cheating, but sadly if she just stayed loyal to her husband she would still be alive.
It doesn't sound like he had much choice about this "break".
@@eadweard. True, it's pretty fucked up imo, but it's better than just straight up putting up a facade and cheating. This should be a lesson for females with good husbands. If he's out working hard for the family they should stick it through cuz it's easy to get tangled up with shitty men.
@@palmtrees2420 Not to mention destroy your kid's life by leaving their father for no good reason and starting a series of various relationships or in this case a relationship with a violent dangerous men.
for real!! I would be app pissed! Like ohh you getting laid is more important than keeping our child safe! I would be pissed I would be like you dumb female…
@@lorimav Girls gonna girl. Go girl! 🤮🤮🤮
Why would u release a monster like that!!! He's a danger to women! He murdered Bethany, He near killed Vicky and then had loads of DV charges! Why would or should he be ever released! X
so...how did the police not figure out it was ronald in the beginning? i knew instantly.
Exactly I remembered this case when it first happened and I knew he did it smh I’m just glad her family finally got justice

Husband leaves for military duty and his wife goes straight to cheating. And never stops it. This case was a mess that started with the wife and ends with her being killed by her lover.
Her extra - marital affair was the root - cause of all this trouble ......... she betrayed her husband ...... doesn't she deserve to be scrutinized for her misadventure......... and yes 12.5 yrs is nothing ... who conducts these plea-deals ....!?!
She didn't cheat. They were separated
@@giuliamorrell4466she pushed “a break” on him, she “felt “ they were drifting apart. He was upset to hear that from her, but respected her wishes out of love for her. First thing she did on their break? Get with another man.. that is cheating, and they were still married.
My heart just breaks for Kai and Emile, along with her family. This is such a sad story. I hope Kai and Emile are doing well now.
Also, 60,000 files on this guy?!? That is crazy! I can’t even imagine what all of that could be.😮
And they gave him a plea deal??? Sickening 😮😡🤬
I’m an introvert, so I don’t get being so “lonely” that I’d need another partner when I already had one, even if he had a long-distance job due to a career I’d have already known about. Some people just can’t be alone, and I’m sure the guy’s “protectiveness” and constantly wanting to be with her and needing to know where she was probably felt like she was getting what she wanted, but there’s protection and attention and then there’s control and possessiveness. And it’s sad that so many people can’t tell the difference.
Unless there was something else going on, I can’t imagine giving up on my loving partner. I wonder why she couldn’t move on base with him, especially since they had a baby.
The power of wiwi
Obviously she didn’t deserve to die, but she had everything, and yet she chose to throw it all away: a devoted and loving husband, a child…but still it wasn’t enough for her, and she decided she’d prefer to take up with a terrible, worthless POS instead. She even let him physically abuse her kid.
Poor Emile and his son.
My sympathies go to the good man Emile.
What Bethany put him through is so very BAD! She acted so selfishly! She treated Emile so badly! She hurt him so badly. It was soo wrong.
The lure of the "bad boy". Unfortunately in this case Bethany wasn't able to learn from her bad choices
I totally agree, I can’t feel bad for anyone but the husband and child
I'm so glad other people feel this way! I really can't manage to conjure up any sympathy for Bethany. She made terrible choices that put her son at risk and threw her marriage to a good man in the trash. I feel bad for her family and her unborn child, but I just can't feel sorry for Bethany.
Honestly. I feel sorry for the guy. No comment on the woman.
I’m not sure yet what the female narrator of this Chanel is named..But she is the absolute best when it comes to telling these stories!..Her voice is so recognizable and before subscribing to this channel if id watch random true crime videos and heard her voice, id know that it would be told so well!..
I swear she sounds exactly like the narrator for another channel, Unseen. Extremely thorough and well researched documentaries as well.
Bethany was really gross for shacking up with and getting pregnant by another guy while her husband was overseas serving our country. They were taking a break, not divorcing ffs. Women who do that are the lowest of the low, such a disgrace. They have no idea what loyalty is. She didn’t deserve Emile.
She reaped what she sowed. Karma got her good.
It should be a lifetime in jail. He will kill again when he gets out. How awful the verdict.
She rushed to fast into that other affair, she showed no respect towards her husband, she got in with a Monster.
If I had a man like Emilio in my life, I would never let him go. Such a shame.
As sad as it is for the fate that Bethany had to endure, It just amazes me how at times one just doesn’t seem to accept the blessings in life. Emile was definitely a very loving husband and father and despite the differences that cropped up in their marriage, he least of all deserved being instantly cheated on by his wife with a maniac. My heart breaks for Kai to have lost a mother and Emile who went through so much pain and endures it to date.
I agree. Why couldn’t she just wait for him to come back from deployment? Loneliness? This is so sad that a good man like that gets cheated on and yet we feel more for the deceased cheating wife then for him. She did not deserve to die either. This world is so sad.
Kai's loss of a mother may not have been much of a loss. Bethany's death may have been a blessing in disguise for Emile and Kai.....as wrong as murder always is.
Kai needs grown ups to raise him, and he only had an absent father.
I didn't know the difference between love and infatuation at 21 yrs of age. I was in my 30's when l learned that lesson, and l learned it the hard way.
Luckily for me l met the love of my life not long after, and never looked back. So many people aren't that lucky.
@@bobcat4100 well then thats a very you issue... me and all my pals did... i have only ever met 1 or 2 girls who got into toxic relationships with both eyes open(one of them is toxic herself and the other is suffering emotional abuse now)...
us girls have to be extra careful with this crap cz at the end we will suffer... think with your head not your crotch...simple
I knew about this case from Crime Watch Daily years ago. It's sad because Bethany's husband, Emil seemed like a good guy but they were too young I guess to have rushed into marriage and the distance with him being overseas also didn't help.
I hope he is well and living a good life with Kai. Ronald is a monster and I hope he suffers in prison. Glad that Vicky survived despite being shot in the head. I was waiting for Bethany's case to be updated and finally after years of waiting, there was finally justice for her and her family. RIP, Bethany.

Congratulations on your milestone! 🥳💐
Anyone else feels for the first husband? Fighting for his country knowing that his marriage was in bits and his wife was sleeping with someone else.
Plus, 12 years for murder? Her family are serving a life sentence.
If I had a man like Emilio in my life, I would never let him go. Such a shame.
This is one of the more angering cases we've talked about here.
Vicky didn't die because Ronald didn't try hard enough, she survived because she's so mentally strong & managed to get help so quickly. The fact they made a deal instead of sticking with attempted murder is pathetic, sorry 😡 Prayers for Bethany's Extended Family, Kai & Emile. Such a wasted life all because of an ego 😡😡
if she really had mental fortitude she would have stayed loyal and not allowed some rando into her home in which she had an infant...stop infantilizing cheaters...
still a tragedy but lets stay honest here
While Bethany did not deserve to die, she ultimately put herself and her child in an awful situation from the get-go, all because “she was lonely”
Yeah, not a victim blamer by any means but Bethany did not sound like a good or very smart person. First sign of abuse towards my child, that person will be out on their arse and a police report filed.
It is sad that a killer, a double murderer bacause he murdered a pregnant woman, is only sentinced to 12.5 years I do not understand how this is justice
Emile risking his life in Afghanistan, the wife f....g around on him, excuse me for not having a lot of sympathy for her.
If he's ever deported back to my country he'll probably be free to commit more crimes, justice here sucks, murderers get convicted but pay for false health certificates to say they're terminally ill and get home arrest conviction that they don't comply
They'll be unleashing a dangerous murdering sociopath or psychopath on Bolivian society. Might be better if he encounters some vigilante instead of making other people his victims. I feel sorry for the Bolivians if they don't lock him up.
Wow, Emile was so kind, understanding, and forgiving
That's probably because he is in the USA illegally. So he has to put on a nice guy act.

I don't think people get married anymore with the idea that it's for life -- it's just "together until there's a problem" or "together until someone better comes along." Thank you for your compassionate presentation of these terrible cases.
I agree and it’s sad. I was listening to a podcast the other day and the couple was divorced, the reason? Because she was a teacher and he worked in finance so “they just didn’t understand each others worlds” 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@OceanDevotion0812 So stupid and tragic. Most couples work in different professions.
Divorce rates are the lowest they’ve been since the 1970s…
@@ShawnMac75 that's because they just kill each other now.
It is not realistic to marry for life only in very lucky cases.
The fact that hundreds yrs ago one was not allowed to divorce only shows the amount of oppression women (in some cases still now) face in history by men.
The structure of society is based solely on nuclear families, which inherently wrong. Communities should be the base.
I feel sorry for Bethany. Too young to truly understand the consequences of unwise decisions. The thing is, if all your friends are telling you that someone isn't right for you, please listen to them. They can see what you cannot.
Congratulations on 500k subscribers, TC. Brilliant presentation, as always.
Quit your victim blaming
@@Angela-tc4nv victim blaming isnt real
@@nickyblue4866 Yes it is.
@@Angela-tc4nv no it isn't
@@nickyblue4866 Yeah it is, actually.
The cops failed Bethany's family by not immediately investigating who had sent the weird messages from Bethany's Facebook account just after she had gone missing. The case would have been solved way back then if only they had done so. Rip Bethany.
Lazy or stupid no caring PD
@@Tomtaylor7337 well then good for her 💊💊💊👯💃💃
@@Tomtaylor7337 Yes, it's true that she had what most women would consider to be a great husband, even the ideal one. He seemed to be genuinely caring, loyal, and considerate. I don't think she was mature enough for marriage and still had lots of carefree living that she needed to experience. I think she felt her marriage was very final and that it came far too soon for her. She was probably feeling isolated and motherhood was obviously difficult for her. She may have been suffering from depression. She made some bad decisions, of that there is no question. But did she really deserve to pay with her life and be discarded in the manner that she was? I don't think so.
@@Tomtaylor7337 are you serious? yeah you are going to get hate for that because that is a messed up view. You know the divorce rate of military couples is like insanely high, like 80-90% right? do all those people deserve to be murdered as well? being married to someone in the military is insanely stressful, and she even said herself she thinks she rushed into things too fast. This is why people don't take y'all in the southeast seriously - openly promoting violence against women for a MISTAKE. No one deserves to be treated that way, y'all should be thankful it wasn’t your sister or mother and hope they never have to go through something like that. Can’t believe how callous this comment is.
They had no evidence of a crime then, so why would they investigate this? I swear if police acted the way a lot of commentors on this channel think they should you wouldnt be nearly as happy as you think.
Bethany made some bad choices but she didn't deserve to die. R.I.P Bethany
right. she was barely out of highschool. people are acting horribly misogynistic in the comments.
Thank you!!! If it were the other way around, they would never argue that the cheating husband deserved death! It will always be a female's fault in their opinions. Sad.
Deserve got nothing to do with it. Can't even cheat with a normal guy.
@@sabrinayetley1291Cheaters are scum whether male or female. She didn't deserve to die but I can still see why people lack sympathy.
@sabrinayetley1291 That's a damn lie. If this was a man, there would be loads of women talking about what he deserved. Would that be classified as misandry.
When he gets out of prison he needs to be deported. I think he’s going to do it again when he gets out of prison.
Imagine coming back from deployment and your wife is pregnant with another man's baby. Bethany was jerry Springer material.
I'm so confused. Obviously, this guy is a sick monster, but how do you get upset about deployment immediately after his first deployment, how do you ignore the absolute compassion of your husband and continue to sleep with a man who abused you and your child? I feel terrible for her but Im every bit as heart broken for Emile.
Ya, complete selfishness that seems to be common in millennials and generation z.
@@Scipio_Americanus WHOA! DO NOT blame the victim. Unless you have been the victim in an abusive relationship, DO NOT judge her. I thought we had gotten beyond the blame game in abuse cases. Guess not.
@@Scipio_Americanusgtfoh. No one needs to hear your bullshit.
@@pattykelly6621 Why not blame her? She did many cruel, stupid and selfish things. For those, she deserves the same blame as anyone else would.
@@eadweard. 100% to blame, She should of kept her knickers on..Instead we get story she was so scared she was gonna move away, to the next thing she was Having her abuser baby..How did she expect that 2 go well...After all that her Husband Still stuck by her....
Bethany chose her own fate.
Yep I just said the same. Yet u got ppl here defending her 😂
@@lolla80 …majority of women will always defend other women regardless if they are blatantly wrong or not. Not me, I’m sure she saw the red flags early on and refused to listen to others around her about him. She then proceeds to still date him and then gets pregnant by him. Not smart at all.
@@christinamoran1027not like the other girls huh? They don’t like you either pick me.
@@ashleighsparkle8810 …I could care less what you think.
@@christinamoran1027
of course you don’t. But you DO care what the XY think. Making you even more pathetic. I will repeat, they don’t like you either.
Bethany was extremely intelligent? Really? There are thousands of military wives that don't pick up the first piece of tail they see once there partner goes on deployment. I only feel bad for her husband and his child. Bethany was a ditz and got herself into a horrible situation due to her own selfishness.
There’s obviously a lot of mistakes she made however physical violence & domestic abuse is never ok let alone murdering a woman pregnant with your child. How could they even agree on 12.5 years??? Did I head that wrong???
Ow that’s the definition of fck around and find out, she did both.
The baby she was carrying didn't count??? He should have gotten LIFE for killing Bethany AND the child!!! WITHOUT parole!
Feel bad for the kid she put herself in that mess. Dad was a saint too to forgive her and want to still be with her says alot about his character
It says he is a simp and a patsy.
@@lkytmryan Words like "simp" are the language of incels.
@@bura19 I am married with 6 children. You on the other hand, are nobody.
Bethany made a lot of bad decisions one after another. Of course no one deserves what happened to her, but putting yourself in bad situations requires yourself.
So she comes running back when she gets abused and puts her child in danger? No sympathy here. Yes, im technically victim blaming, don’t care.
You stay with a boy who wants to join the Army National Guard and then you leave him when he has to leave for Afghanistan? What did she expect?
To get divorced and not murdered perhaps?
@@iamV10010 Not talking about the murder, but about her complaining to feel lonely when he is deployed obviously.
@@CristyB66you don’t understand things fully until they are in full bloom sometimes. Like you think you will be ready then you just aren’t.
Perhaps the Army just do not provide support to wives/partners isolated, perhaps worried/afraid..perhaps partners are left vulnerable by a services that is set up to protect.
Exactly
Ughhhh Emile didn’t deserve any of this
I dated guy from baliva 6 months later he tried to kill me. I invited him to thanksgiving dinner at my brothers he didn't want to go so I went alone. Later that night he came to my apt accused me of being with another man said he came for my head and if I was in his county my body would never be found I was tarrified after hours of abuse I managed to ascape my apt get to police scariest dad of my life. My heart goes out to dear Bethany, RIP
stay within your race.
We ❤ you Truly Criminal!!! Idk about others, but I'd be lost without your channel. It's one #1 favorite true crime channel! Thank you so much for your hard work bringing us great videos. And I love your voice! I can not listen to some because of the narration alone. But you ladies are perfect!!!! ❤❤❤
Nothing is more scary than being stalked it’s the worst thing ever. When you’re so scared of someone and you can’t get away. It’s absolutely terrifying 💘💘
I hate those types of people
The obvious solution is to get a firearm and keep it loaded & handy. Next time you're stalked, you shoot center mass... Good riddance to POS... 😮💀😎
Young people need to be taught and witness what is a healthy relationship and what is abusive. Narcissistic behavior is hidden during love bombing stage, so don't rush into living together within a yr. Know the signs, is the partner trying to isolate u from family and friends, controling how u dress, where u go etc. Females can b the abusive one, as well. It isn't easy to escape once they have broken u down and control u completely. Never is a punch or slap acceptable behavior and you don't deserve it ever, bc it will escalate from bad to worse.
I don’t think Bethany did right by Emil, but she *CERTAINLY* did not deserve to die. Sending love to her son and her widower 💔
Please never change your Intro music/tone, is so soothing…
i love it..its beautiful
Congratulations on half a million! You definitely deserve it ❤️
Sad story. Now imagine if she had never cheated on her husband while he was deployed...
Congratulations on 500K! Thanks for covering this case so respectfully.
She had a great man, she should've kept her legs closed!!!
I my opinion Bethany made very wrong choices and she should have appreciated Emil more. When someone abuses you it is wise to get out Immediately.
I'm shocked it too them so long to figure this out - Roland was so obviously the main suspect, he was the last to see her alive. Smh. Honestly.
I really look forward to your uploads. I enjoy the narration style, and you have a pleasant voice to listen to. Of course the crimes are horrific, but you do the victims justice....to the point that it makes me so sad they are gone. Anyway, Congrats on 500, 000!
Horrendous criminals keep getting slap on wrist or get away with murders. This guy will kill again for sure
The way y’all present these cases are very unique. Also your narration voice is so lovely and almost calming.
I just said the same to my husband, her voice is calming despite the subject matter.
Why are you wearing a mask? The election is over.
I literally fall asleep to her voice every night lol
Wow, I knew she wasn't in hiding & that he definitely murdered her. So sad for her family. 💓
12 years. That is all a young womans life is worth. They are essentially saying she was worth nothing, that the whole rest of her life was worth nothing. This is the legal system telling you how worthless your life is. You are worth nothing, you die by someone's murderous hand? Who cares, you are dead, the other person is still alive, they get a slap on the wrist and a fraction of their life in prison.........all the rest of your life is gone like it just didn't matter. Only the living matter, especially the good long life of the person who murdered you.
Will be 1M soon and you deserve it all. Amazing work. ❤️
Probably shouldn't have cheated on her husband, I find it hard to go feel for someone who cheats on their deployed spouse.
. I really dont understand this woman. You separate from a man who treating you right and walk into an abusive relationship and stays there for years. Hell, what is wrong with these people.
Both men and women do same things and i also dont grasp this concept
She was about 20 yrs old, with a child, alone.
@@JanieBgrand So..???????
@@JanieBgrand Grow up, girl, and be responsible.
please don’t bash and judge a woman who is now dead. she’s not here to defend herself, and this is extremely disrespectful
They gave him a plea deal to serve only 12.5 years and in exchange he lied about how she died. Plus, she was 5 months pregnant. Doesn't sound like justice or closure at all for her family. The plea deal should have been withdrawn.
No plea without body!!!
Congrats to the best ladies who narrate these heartbreaking stories always told with profound insight and your compassion shows through your work. .
Well deserved. I just had to say I'm so happy for 500k. I'm not surprised your channel is great.❤❤
Thank you for everything.
God bless 👑🙏🕊🌹🌹
She thought the grass was greener (as the old saying goes) on the other side….but all she found was a big ugly thorn bush! What a POS boyfriend he was, too bad she didn’t see the red flags early on. The POS should’ve received life with no parole for two murders. And poor Vicky, there was a photo of her at the end and you could see her right eye was closed (this was after it had healed) so it looks like he did some major damage to her and she’s lucky to be alive.
They already said she lost her eye bc of what he did to her. He also snuck up behind her, snapped her neck, breaking it in two places, bit her, punched her, and then shot her three times. I'd definitely say that's damage! She is a strong, resilient woman who is helping numerous people bc of her story. She has a purpose. God wasn't ready for her.
If you cheated with someone while you're in a relationship that person won't trust you if you stay or be with them you started out on lie's and you will end on know trust
He killed two people .Have people forgot their was a baby.
There could have been a baby if she wouldnt have been killed. A woman and a potential human life was taken from this earth, it's horrible...
It’s not surprising to see you hit 500k subscribers because this channel puts out amazing content week after week. You’re respectful and compassionate to each victim and bring each one to life to let us understand who they were. Exceptional narration, her voice is so calm in telling the story and before you know it the episode is done. Hoping for some longer videos!! 🤩 it won’t be long before you’re at a million and we’ll all still be here to support you and enjoy seeing your channel grow. Congratulations! 🎉 ♥️
Thank you so much!
Well said, I completely agree!
Her voice is so calm that it could double as ASMR ❤
Very well said. Out of all the true crime channels I’ve found, no one can compare to Truly Criminal. Few can even come close.
@@TrulyCriminal Do you guys have a mod? I'm just asking because, while I appreciate your channel so much and I appreciate the ability for your viewers to speak up, it seems like a very large amount of the comments are directed at blaming the murdered victim. I'm sure you imagine how the family might feel if they read these comments... just thought I'd ask, cause it's pretty grotesque. I truly don't believe Bethany deserved to be murdered, nor that she had any fault in her own murder. I also believe that if my husband cheated on me, most would also argue that he wouldn't be deserving of death. It's really upsetting. Thanks for the great content, regardless, and congrats on your continued growth!!!
You all deserve it, your content is so well produced, well written, the sound is pleasant and not aggressive to my ears😂. Such a professional job, always. You guys rock happy to have been here to watch the channel get the love it deserves! ❤❤❤
You are very attractive, is that you on pic?
Its hard to feel sorry for her, sucks for her son though.
Lol true
The description of the fight between Vicky and Ronald is like something out of a movie. Like a person gets their neck broken twice and is shot in the head and then leaves the house. Nevermind. In the movies they just magically dodge all the bullets or die the first time they are shot.
IKR...wow, this man is a demon!
It is insane that the charge relating to Vicky was reduced as part of a plea deal. He was absolutely bang to rights and had no hope of acquittal. I hope it was done with Vicky's blessing, otherwise it's a sickening betrayal.
My heart goes out to Vicky, Bethany and her family. Vicky is a remarkable woman.
no, Vicki was furious about the plea deal.
No body convictions are almost impossible to get. This plea deal was negotiated with the family’s consent and allowed them to get closure in knowing what happened to Bethany. He will be deported once his sentence is complete.
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim I can only imagine. It's an insult.
So... Bethany cheated on her husband while he was deployed, with a man who physically abused her young child, stalked and harassed her, then allowed herself to be impregnated by him? I'm sorry, but stupid games, stupid prizes. I feel bad for her family and mourn her unborn child, but it's hard to muster up any sympathy for Bethany herself. I'm just relieved her son wasn't murdered along side her, because she was definitely putting him at risk.
I'm sorry to Amil. I thought very bad things about him in the beginning of this video. He deserves a lot better than everything he got.
Congratulations, you both deserve every single subscription! 💙
Only person I feel bad for is the baby and her ex. Some women don’t value themselves and willingly put themselves in harms way
