one thing is for sure in this case.. Lowe cried for himself (the few fake tears he could muster) and not for Bardwell 💯 he just wants out of jail but an innocent person wouldn’t stuff a loved one in a trunk and immediately start sexting and being in dating sites etc 🤷🏻♀️ he is pure evil! and he cannot blame the drugs or his privileged lonely childhood 🙄
Fire up Old Sparky and get-em thirsty stick-em in Old Sparky and give-em half charge and come back and check on-em twenty four hours later.😠😬😡
😊😊😊

It’s hard to watch how her dad is hurting. Sir if you read this, you’re a dad every girl dreams to have. Sending you healing vibes.
A dad every child dreams they had. Son or daughter.
I second that!💜
You are so right. I'm almost 40 and haven't seen my dad since I was 15. I would love to have had a dad like Gary!
@@rickjames7576 father daughter relationships are special. So her initial comment is perfect. ❤
Amen to this 🥺
I remember when I was in an abusive relationship and stopped speaking with my family for over a year. My dad finally stopped the silence between us and knocked on my door asking me to come home. I’ll never forget and forever feel thankful that he never gave up on me. I love you, Dad. ❤
Happy for you! Praise God!😊🙏 a relationship like the one you had and what his episode is about, make you not even want to be in one, tbh.. you just want to be by yourself.. get a pet.. love on it.. you'll feel better.. people aren't what they use to be..
A dads love for his daughter is stronger than anything.
An adult child should always feel like they can come home. My parents thought you should work out your relationship and not run home to mother, but there is a point it is just not working, even if not abusive.
So glad you made it out safely 💙
Me too 😢
This needs to be shown to every girl when they are in 8th grade. They need to understand no matter how much they think someone loves them the second they start isolating them from family and friends they've got to run. It will only continue to get worse. This young woman came from a loving home. She was not abused in any way and didn't understand how love could turn vicious and evil. My heart goes out to her family.
I think you should have the most "likes" on this video. You are so right. With all the brokenness in our society, we can never assume these critical things will be learned at home.
6th grade 😔
That places a lot of responsibility on the victims. Abusers entangle their victims in a vicious web and it's very, very hard to escape or even find the words to seek help.
@@Lemana28021989 unfortunately we cannot change others or control their actions. The only persons actions we are responsible for are our own. The more educated you are the easier it is for you to handle a situation. If you are a happy sweet naive young person that has no idea such a web exists in the first place it makes it much easier to become entangled in it. I stand by what I said. It's better to be wary than destroyed.

So many of us wish we could’ve been blessed with a father like this
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am one of those girls who would have dreams my entire life of having a father or a step father to care about me. I have never even had a boyfriend care about me in this life time. 😭😭😭
OMG Ladies, if you are lucky enough to be born in a family like Jessie’s, NEVER move far from them! What wonderful people.
This makes it sound like Jessie did something wrong by pursuing her own life. the man is at fault, not her for believing that she found love and seeking out that love. She got scared but it was too late. She was terrified, and did not know how to get of the hell she was in. Please dont blame the victim. So she moved to TX? Men and women do that all the time for work, for love etc. She would not have left her family if she knew she would be killed She wanted to try out life. god bless her for that.
I agree 💯%. My three children all live nearby - they know where they are safe & happy. They have good partners who love them.
@@elizabethantoine9652But that doesn't mean that we can't even MENTION that she should have stayed near her family without being accused of victim-blaming....🤷 Get off your soap box, Elisabeth. Of course young people should go out into the world - Jessie was already 27 and an adult. BUT, my children all went out into the world to try it out for size, and then came back to settle nearbus (their parents) where they felt safe & happy. Luckily they found job opportunities here, but we were also able to help them wigh that.
@@MomeGnome Frankly, yes. Her father should have really put his foot down. We did with our daughter - got her away from a potential abuser and life ruiner. She ran off to another country & we didn't see her for 6 months. But she didn't see him either.
@@MomeGnome No at all. We have a family business which two of my kids chose to carry on. We actually depend more on them than they do on us. And there's nothing wrong with that. Symbiosis is a good way of keeping connections & community strong.
It is INSANE that the women he assaulted and threatened with death before knowing Jessie were not allowed to testify. This business of past behavior going unheard because "unfairly prejudicial" needs to be examined rationally and limited.
EXACTLY. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
The prosecution didn't follow-thru to confirm their testimony wouldn't be allowed!? There must be more to what seems to us a premature decision.
@@aisha2370 Hm, I missed that piece: the prosecution didn't do some needed follow-through? Maybe I will rewatch and/or check out other coverage of the case. (Were you amazed at how weak-charactered his face looked after time in jail...and, perhaps, with the weight gain? Not handsome any more, not in the least! A real bullying and weak type person!)
Absolutely
Ah yes. The defense "she ASKED for it. She put HERSELF in the position to be murdered or SA'd"
After hearing so many sad stories I thought I was desensitized, but when Jessie’s father cried I felt it through my core.
Got my eyes watery when he said "This is my life now" Damn, so heart wrenching.
Certain stories touch you deeply. The cruelty on one hand and the love mixed with deep grief.
Me too.😢
I wish I had a dad that loved me like that. I’m 58 and my dad never told me he loved me. Maybe a hand full of times. This story brought me to tears. A Beautiful relationship between a father and daughter. Loved the song you wrote and it was Beautiful.🙏❤️
Im sorry to hear that friend. Remember God is our Father. His love knows no bounds. God bless! ❤
🙏🙏
I know how you feel. I had the same type of father..
Now I see him as a person who remained a child from inside. It explains a lot..
Try Krishna. Try ISKCON. A personal connect with God
Not everyone comfortable saying they love you . That doesn't mean that they don't.
My dad says he loves me all the time...unfortunately his actions prove otherwise.
Watching the dad break like that is just heartbreaking😭...
And Maureen Maher looks like she was judging him for crying.
Oh yeah really heartbreaking.😢
@@renny6151yeah that camera cut to her face kind of did her dirty... I think it was meant to show that she was having trouble not getting emotional herself which is why she might have an uncomfortable look on her face...? Giving her the benefit of the doubt here because anyone with half a soul felt it in their heart when Gary was breaking down like that. Guy seems pretty close to the perfect father.
@@renny6151I doubt it, she just didn't show her own emotion, the interviewers rarely do.
@@renny6151 bc the interviewer can't just break down crying..
Dad learned how to be a good parent thru his sweet momma
Exactly what I was thinking. He was raised right. Such a proud & loving father. His tears & emotions touched my ❤
Absolutely!
I love that her dad was so candid. He was open and honest about his feelings, and what he had to do to cope with his anger. Sometimes loved ones feel pressured to forgive, or turn the other cheek. I’m glad he said what we were all thinking. “Just give me 5 minutes alone with him.” There would be no need for a trial.
Yeah I know I couldn't imagine such a young beautiful girls life being snuffed out like that! I'll be praying for her dad and her family. I want 5 minutes alone with the guy and I dont even know the family...
I think it should be the parent's right, TBH. If it's proven without a reasonable doubt that the perp is guilty.
He smirks every time when they ask him if he killed her. That sums it up n answers the question. Sad 😢
It’s such a beautiful thing that Gary still has his mother to comfort/assure him❤
I know! I noticed after crying so much that he finally cracked a tiny smile when he FaceTimed his mom and blew her a kiss after she consoled him
Miss Kitty passed away in 2022!
@@realnumber9show326•😢Not without justice I hope ..❤I am not to the end yet ..Yes he just got 50 Years to be honest this is very sickening..
@@realnumber9show326 😭😭
Her father is devastated. I can't even comprehend the pain of losing your only daughter.
not just only daughter but they were close as can be....i am so happy he still has his mother...wow what a pillar of support she was...
I would be devastated too. My heart goes out to him. But whether losing an only daughter, only child, only son or one of ten, there will always be a sense of devastation. One of the worst things a parent can go through is the loss of a child.
My dad passed from cancer a few years ago. I miss him every day. I go back and read all of my birthday cards and realize how much he loved me.
The moment the dad starting singing his song “Taken Away”, I felt the devastation. As a songwriter myself, I broke down hearing the song, knowing he had to get those feelings out as soon as his daughter left. My condolences for this lovely family.
His mother saying the tears shed for Jesse would make the town clean, was truly heartbreaking. Such a deeply beautiful, and profoundly tragic statement.💔 💔💔
That was her Grandma
@@cathyprosser1050 yes I know, it says his mother.
He looks likes a hothead with a bad temper.I hope her father is able to heal prayers for him.
@@kellycuckoo3143 My apologies. I see that now. Sorry 😔
@@cathyprosser1050you don’t need to apologies :) you were close :)
I wish I’d had a dad like she had. What a great man.
Same! I feel like I was cheated!
@@MomeGnome What was he supposed to do - kidnap his ADULT daughter and hold her prisoner in his home? That would be illegal. He gave her support and love; that’s the most he could’ve done.
Same. I had a malignant narcissist for a father who scapegoated me. He really wasn’t a father because all he did was traumatize me along with that thing that called herself a mother.
@@MomeGnomeHe did the most he could. Parents are supposed to allow their children to make their own decisions when they become adults.
@@MomeGnomewhat do you mean by that? She was not a child.
I feel so bad for this father. What a wonderful father and man. I just adore him😢❤
This is a father anyone would love to have. im literally in tears watching this and typing this.
I watch a lot of true crime. A lot. But this father’s pain touches a place deep inside my soul. He deserves peace. This world has wronged him. We need to stop harboring monsters.
I feel the same way. He cared for his baby girl and this monster latched on to her.
Yeah i cried for her father
This is why ex girlfriends and wives should speak up and warn the next supply. It’s not about you, girl, it’s about that innocent next victim.
They're constantly dropping charges for criminals. Our judicial system needs a complete overhaul.
@@meeperbird I know people who have & these monsters are so manipulative their new victims don't believe them.I know of a situation where the guy was on Megan's law & ex GF told new GF & he convinced her the children lied.
Many of these people are such manipulators & such great liars.
Being a new father of a little girl myself, i feel this father's pain on a whole other level.
Same. No father should ever go through this.
@@edmund6392 nope. Not fair at all.
I'm very confused what's up with Jessie's mom. Is she dead or what?
@@eustab.anas-mann9510he said they got divorced when she was a kid. No mention of her after that
Congratulations & u may never feel his pain .
My heart breaks for her Dad, you can see his pain without him even speaking a word. ❤
This man is the best example of a loving dad! He loved her with all his heart. His mom is a beautiful soul who showed her son how to love through how she loved him. Thank you to Jesses dad for sharing your heart and Jesse’s story for others.
Too bad his daughter didn’t pick someone like her father to be her man but picked a human excrement instead.
what a joke of defense attorney and his mock trial!!! sick heads
pathetic lawyer!
These ppl said anything for a box of free tacos 🌮 😂
Defense attorneys in general make me so mad 😠 😡 😤!!!! I understand that everyone accused of a crime is entitled to be represented by an attorney and that the attorney provide a vigorous defense but when the attorney falls for whatever stupid story the defendant vomits up and believes that vomit, that's a whole other thing and it's despicable in my opinion.
@@cathyprosser1050 lol calm down, defense att. don't believe their clients but that's what they have to say obviously. their job is to work with whatever they have, no matter how silly it sounds sometimes. wait till you ever get into a bad position and need an att., you'll be so grateful for them and let's hope you don't get some lawyer who thinks like you and will dismiss your story and let you go down without a fight
Ah yes. The defense "she ASKED for it. She put HERSELF in the position to be murdered or SA'd"
Heartbreaking. Her dad's emotions got me. Amazing dad, she was and still is lucky to have you ❤️
yeah i don't cry a lot but waterworks were fired up today.
He wrote a song for his daughter and she hugged him so tight. He loved her as every father should love daughter. That is beautiful!
Oh my goodness what a beautiful family 😢 the grandmother and the dad. They seem like amazing people
that's an amazing father right there. what a great man.
Why?
@@myopinion5508if you have to ask, then you dont get it. It is easy to see why, but some people cannot see it.
Narcissists NEVER admit that abusing someone, to the point and beyond of death, is their fault. They can always justify it, in their minds.
I learned exactly how dangerous a narcissist can be. They are the worst kinds of people. My exhusband loved himself more than he ever loved us. He put me and the kids thru hell and hed NVR admit anything he did.He deceives his family and coworkers everyday bc they think he's some great guy. You don't truly know someone unless you are with them behind closed doors. I'm just thankful we got away from him b4 something horrible happened. This story is heartbreaking.
"You don't truely know someone- until you know ..." yep

Father/daughter were SO close, that he had a nightmare when she passed..(?) Somehow, he knew ~ May you be given peace, sir, until you see your daughter again 🙏
Amen ❤
Her poor father is so broken. I pray he can find some peace to live with his pain.
The dads pain hurts me so bad 😢 the connection he had and the sadness in his eyes hurts me so bad 😢
Agree!😢
Such loving dad 😭
The pain of losing a child is indescribable , to sit and listen to the testimony regarding her death took an incredible strength.
For anyone who watches a lot of true crime, you know it's easy to unintentionally become a bit numbed to the horrors you hear about, but when her dad broke down I lost it. 😭 God bless that man. Sir, you will see her again one day, more beautiful and full of life than ever. ❤
Heartbreaking to see her father's grief. Utterly heartbreaking.
I am so relieved that he is in prison and away from society where he could prey on young women. He is a spoiled brat who has no soul and no concern for anyone but himself! My daughter was 33 when she was taken away. I have no forgiveness in my heart. I feel for you, Gary.
Sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry. I don't know how I would cope. I hope you keep coping.❤
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
We aren’t meant to bury our children.
I'm so very sorry for your loss
I'm so very very sorry for your loss and for the loss of Jesse .
The fact that he thought people would believe it was an accident is just insane, if it really were an accident he would have called 911! He's right where he belongs! RIP Jessie!
Exactly. If my loved one was hurt/killed by accident, I wouldnt let them rot in a vehicle, Id call for help. Disgusting
In Jason's mind, it WAS an accident. Never intended to beat her to death. That's the problem with psychopathic narcissists.
@@rhondaalbrecht True, someone can stab someone and say it was accident, like how do you accidently stab someone?
She's beautiful...felt sorry for the father 😢
His lie certainly did not explain all the blood in the passenger seat of the car, him immediately selling her car, why he was texting from her phone, etc. Guilty af.
What a beautiful song her father wrote for her. Her time here was short but she was so blessed to have her father and her brother seems awesome too. Her grandmother is amazing and I know she had a blessed life while she was here. Her spirit lives on and they will be reunited in the spirit world. Love to this incredible family
Gary and his Mother warm my heart so much. There is so much love there. Can they adopt me?
Stand in line lol.
i loved to see the support his elderly mother was giving him. that was the silver lining in this whole thing. it was sooooo heartwarming.
That was the sweetest thing 🥺
Yes, the grandmother was so strong. She is amazing❤
She raised him well. The root of the love that permeates that family
@@chuxxj and ultimately triumphs over evil.
"911, what's your emergency?" "My girlfriend just fell and hit her head." That never happened because he knew he killed her. He is a psychopath and is where he belongs.
YES!!
they never said how he killed her or why...on this video
He was wasted on GHB so he wouldn't have been thinking straight
Yes. You can see it in his eyes in the photos.
yea, they did show what he said his excuse was during the trial, toward the end.@@lynnhubbard844
Did you see the way he looked at her father? Pure evil I’m so disgusted.
What a great father he is. I bow to you Sir.
The pain in the fathers eyes is something that he will carry for the rest of his life. It's truly sad.
This monster will never admit to what he did.
Its okay, he has 50yrs to live with that lie in a cage.
I mean he sort of already did. When he didnt think anyone was listening
how did he do it and why
When he was chatting with his friend at the jail@@lynnhubbard844
You can tell Jason did it. The emptiness in his eyes…You can tell.
I just want to give Jessie’s father a hug! I am glad Jessie’s father has his mother’s loving support and guidance to help him through all of this. ❤
The mother and sons relationship is beautiful ❤
I grew up without a dad. My sympathies to this wonderful man.
Agree --- not many people live in a nourishing environment.
When her father said "this is my life now" it was so painful to hear.
Yes. That part got me, too. Poor guy.
@@jillhansen5054 yeah that was it for me too....the pain was palpable.
Guard your children, no matter how old they are.
I have never commented on a video before and i watch a lot! But something compelled me in my heart to speak. Sir, i would have given anything to have had a pa like you. I felt compelled to say a prayer for you and i hope all the prayers and love you are wrapped it will lift your heart and spirit and bring you peace until the day you are reunited with her ❤
My husband is called gary. We are about to start fertility treatment. He is desperate for a daughter and he will be such an incredible father ❤ you remind me of him, your story really touched me ❤
I wish you so much luck on your fertility treatments. ❤❤❤
I have never cried over a 48 hour episode like I did this one. Oh Jesus, dispatch your comforting angels around her dad🙏🙏… My heart breaks for you sir..

I am ugly crying with this beautiful father. His pain is so anguishing. It hurts my heart. I wish I could hug him
His hearts broken. I'm happy he has great memories of his daughter and sings songs. Nice voice.❤
What a great father. Women need to do research the person before they get emotionally involved.
My sister passed away in feb 2015 she was found 73 days later . Just last yr I got the courage to read her autopsy report. Trust me it’s traumatizing. I went to work the next day . I felt weird ……. Out of no where I burst into tears and couldn’t stop crying . I went home crying because I could not stop .
My heart breaks for you. I lost my sister as well in 2011. Prayers for you.

Sir , you are the best dad I have ever seen in my life.
It’s hard to wrap my mind around people killing other people. What gets in their minds to think no one is going to notice?
Jason's attorney's attitude is in sync with his. He doesn't think Jason killed her. Right on. It's why attorney's have such a bad rep. I know that defense attorney's are a necessary evil but that doesn't mean we have to like them.
Have just left a similar comment.
What a terrible crime.
My heart goes out to dad. So sad and heartbreaking ever .RIP Jessie.
Yes, I wish I had had a Dad like that. But even he couldn't protect her from such evil. Heart-breaking.
That was my thought as well…I have often that would have changed my pattern with men but Jessie’s dad is the real deal and it still happened. God bless all of Jessie’s family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don’t think he did not protect her, she took a very bad decision , I dot understand why she never left before having a dad like him..:(
@@luzgomez2843 Did you notice, though, that she couldn't be honest with him, couldn't tell him what was really going on...and stayed with the bad treatment? Parents can love their kids but not supply them with what they really need as little ones, like time and attention and respect for their feelings and other developmental needs, so the child can mature and, as an adult, know their real needs. Most of us end up burying things as youngsters, being lonely within, and learning to behave "as if."
She was loved. She was a free spirit. She didn’t know evil. As much as she was loved, something was lacking in her life. She was looking for affirmation from a man other than her father.
@@bonnies.d.1121if you’ve ever been in an abusive situation you know you can have the best relationship with your family and still feel so much shame and be so embarrassed to reach out to them for help.
That poor man’s/dad’s cries are heart wrenching 😢 another mad man doing what he does best…destroying a life and her families 😢
Gary - if you ever read this you are the kind of Daddy that every little girl dreams of sir ,what a lucky girl she really was
My heart absolutely goes out to you & your family. ❤
the fact that his mom is alive and well to support him through this is sooo kool to me.
Not sure if this is true, but someone else commented she passed away in 2022. 💔 The love she had for her family absolutely beautiful 🤍🤍🤍
This is probably the sadest story I have ever watched on 48hours. The Dad telling the story was heart wrenching. I hope that her Dad was able to find some sort of closure and that they, one day will be reunited in Heaven. May God Bless that family. ♥️♥️♥️
I agree! The other memorable one to me is episode Lost and Found- about Pepper Smith. That one made me ugly cry. It's an absolutely amazing story.
The tears of a Daddy are heart breaking! When my Daddy cried I was heartbroken. Only saw my dad cry twice in my life. I will never forget. I held him as he did when I was a little girl! ❣️
❤❤.
Omg keep writing her songs because they're absolutely beautiful... 💯 😢
I never had the luxury of having a dad, but if I did I would choose you Gary. Jessie is SOOO incredibly lucky to have a dad like you.
Rest in peace beautiful Jessie💖

It’s very odd that many killers have that same eye problem. I see a pattern with the crazy eye/ lazy eye
The pain of a parent who lost a child is unparalleled. My grandmother lost her only son, my dad, when he was 30. She never breathed fully after his funeral, the pain never went away ☹️
You are sooooo right. On Mother's Day. My one and only daughter was murdered in our house shot to death in her own bedroom in her own bed. She was 33 years young. 7 months later my husband of 37 years died 😢 💔 broken hearted. And from that day until now its a battle to live without your loved ones. I pray no one will ever feel this kind of pain. I ♿️ pray to see them again 🙏 on the other end!!!!!

lol you are weak
This man's pain is palpable on a level I've never seen on one of these crime shows. God bless this poor hurting man. Thank God there is a tiny bit of justice for him and his dear Jessie
Yes, God bless this poor hurting man.
I would not be able to get contain my RAGE. I would have to do something hing to him. I would not be able to stop. I think that is a normal reaction. God love this Father and please stay with him. Doreen J. ❤🎉 41:38
I’ve never felt Somone pain like that
😢😢😢
Literally had to stop the video when the father recounted that horrific moment they brought her home… he’s a fireman by profession which means he has a protector spirit, compounded by him being the father of a girl, I can only imagine his grief and possibly the mulling over what he could’ve done to prevent it. A heartbreaking tragedy and I was compelled to say a quiet prayer for him.
Really? I lost it even when he started SINGING THE SONG. Dammit man. It’s gut-wrenching. 😖
Yeah this one was rough 😕 😭
I have watched a LOT of these. I have never cried before, but i am crying now! I feel so horribly bad for this Father 😭.
Life can be so cruel.
Sorry,I am so sorry for your loss she truly was and is an angel.
God Be With You Sir,😢
My heart just aches for Jessie's dad. I was stunned that Jessie's boyfriend lied to the court and actually thought that the jurors would believe him. I am so glad that they didn't believe him. He truly is where he belongs.
Its crazy how much love and support you feel from the grandmother. I wish my family was even half has tight as this family
Same.
A gracious lady the likes of which is disappearing from this earth.
@@junemarshall-kingsley566 sadly i agree, they dont make them like they used to! My aunt is 94 i believe and she is very similar to this lady, ive never met anyone born in the last 50-60 years that could hold a candle to her lol
Right?
How very sad. Praying for the family.
He reminds me so much of my dad. A father’s love have no bounds.
Beloved Gary,
As you peruse these lines, may the essence of your extraordinary spirit, characterized by its gentleness and kindness, resonate throughout this documentary. Your profound connection with Jessie radiates with clarity and potency, leaving an indelible mark. Your love and the depths of your emotional journey have moved me in ways beyond expression. The evident uniqueness shared between you and Jessie reflects a bond of extraordinary individuals. Wishing you abundant healing, dear Gary, as a truly special man and devoted father. May the universe shower you with love and strength. In the hope that, one day, we all reunite with our cherished ones.
Sending heartfelt love and unwavering strength your way.
What universe, you've got to know there is God! Jesus Christ is the Lord, and they're telling you it's a lie because they've lied to you about everything else. Who? The leaders of the world. Wake up before it's too late! The universe can do nothing for anyone
The “mock trial” is designed to understand which lies the defense can get away with 😢
Worked fine. mock trial 15:0 aquit. real trial: guilty. lol
😮don't let this guy out EVER
Heartbreaking. I wish the father find peace. What a great father he is. May God bless him as he continue to heal and may God bless her daughter's soul.
Listening to her Dad speak about Jessie was so touching. You could feel the love he has for her. So tragic.
“She can come and go as she pleases” - yet she wasn’t allowed to have her own cell phone…. If that were my daughter, I would have spared the state a trial. In every photo of this creep, his eyes look dead. I don’t know how a parent survives something like this and, hopefully, I never will. My heart goes out to Jesse’s parents, brother and other loved ones.
That’s literally the very first thing I thought.
Ya u can see evil in people's eyes and he has them.
Real evil doesn't look a certain way,it is sad all the way around.😢😢😢💔💔💔
And supposedly he had a 6 figure salary? Their apartment looked pretty dumpy to me...
@@adriennem3724 - I get the feeling he spent a lot of money on drugs.
Sorry for your loss man...Glad justice was served...Good people
I like the song the father wrote about Jessie. Prayers for the Family
Not much makes me cry. I’ve watched so much true crime, it kind of desensitizes you.
But watching the father break down while talking about reading his daughters autopsy reports made me bawl my eyes out.
My son is 16. I can’t imagine going through this with him. My whole heart goes out to the father. My God, this tore me up.
I absolutely agree. It made me physically hurt watching him go through that. I'm like you I watch a ton of true crime and it takes a lot to get to me anymore but his story and pain made my heart physically hurt for her daddy. I know he blames himself for not going and getting her.
💯 💯 agree!
So true…. I’ve never cried like this before! 😢
It is a little bit comforting to know that he has also a son and that he is able to "enjoy" a boat trip again ! the grandma is also a beautiful person .....
Jason is cocky now but his prison mates will bring him down to earth. I hope the Dad can overcome this travesty.
His tragedy*. That trial was a travesty of justice.
My prayers are with this beautiful young ladies daddy and brother and other loved ones. This episode touched me and gave me chills. As a mother, and parent, of two young girls, this is my biggest nightmare. This terrifies me. My heart just hurts and I have so much empathy for all of her loved ones. I know she is their guardian angel now! Every girl deserves a dad like this!
Such a sad story. I hope he never gets a chance at early release. And wow, the two previous girlfriends are still alive I bet they are so thankful each day. I hope for continued healing for Jessie’s family.
Wow, you can feel the love and bond even through a screen that this father & daughter had in life. Definitely soulmates.
I had two female relatives murdered, One in 1986 and the other in 2002 by boyfriends who decided if they couldn't have them, no one could have them. RIP Debbie and Tina
😢💕🧸
The same thing happened to my friend Jenni-lyn in 2010. Hugs to you ♥
@@JuliaMerulla 😢💕
Had a niece murdered as well.....same thing
@@mightymouse1005 so sorry ❤
I started bawling when her dad was crying talking about finding Jessie's body 💔💔💔😭 you sound like a wonderful father. I'm so sorry for your loss
That’s when I lost it 😢 “This is my life now.” God so incredibly sad.
What a blessing for this dad to still have his mother ❤
Gary singing the song about Jessy truly got to me. ❤❤ I'm so sorry about your loss, Gary.
I watch a lot of these and ive never had it bring a tear to my eyes like when he started singing about her.
I’m so sorry for his loss too.😢 The bond between him & his Babygirl was un breakable. ❤
I agree I couldn't hold back when he started singing the song he wrote to her. I have a daughter that same age and her name is Jessie and it was hard watching this story. I could see my husband going through the same pain because they have such a great bond. I hope her dad can start to heal as much as you can in this situation.
@@southernmom1506 im a single dad that raised my son and his sister, she wasnt biologically mine, but i raised her from about 6 months old and i couldnt imagine anything happening to her, i would loose my mind!
Gary crying for Jesse was so heartbreaking
Poll time: If someone dies while you are with them, completely accidentally, what would YOU do? Would YOU call the police immediately? Or would YOU do what this man claims to have done and what many murderers claim they did, which is "panic and hide the body"?
If I knew truthfully that it was an accident, it wouldn't even cross my mind to hide the body. Maybe that's just me. Tell me what would you do?
If it was an accident or even a medical emergency, heck yeah I would call 911 and get help because I would want them to live and be in my life, because I cared! But that wasn’t the case here. That evil demon wanted her dead so he could move on. And had he not been caught and sentenced, he would have become a serial murderer knowing he got away the first time.
