I truly believe Justice had won. And I can't figure out Tiffiney's mom her son in law, I hadn't seen him shed a tear for his wife. She should only be crying for her daughter, not her arrogant son in law. So very sad . RIP Tiffiney
Jason was soooo upset that Tiffany had violated the "sanctity of their marriage," but he didn't seem to have a problem with committing adultery with Tiffiney while she was still married to her previous husband. That hypocrisy, alone, made me suspect him from the outset.
As soon as I heard that officer saying, "There's nothing here that says anything other than suicide" within a few minutes of looking at the scene, I KNEW we were about to learn that scumbag husband had connections in the police department.
And the car. Why would they want to check for blood spatter patterns on a two bullets to the head suicide? No way, just let the family get to cleaning it.
I am an American. I have also studied law and I determined a long time ago that there is a lot of corruption in the American legal system. Lots! I am an unbeliever in our system.
This was one of the best episodes I've ever seen. This interviewer should consider becoming a prosecutor. He didn't let the suspect get away with lying like so often happens. And yet with that same tenacity, he also gently helped the victims mom come out of her denial and face the hard truth. I'm so thankful, despite clear conflicts of interest, justice was served.
@@nonamepainter that case was featured on the show 48 Hours if you are interested. The episode is called Power and Passion (I think I'm remembering that correctly)
@@GGiblet It is protocol across the entire US to do a GSR test on all witnesses and victims whenever a firearm is involved in a death. Sometimes police departments drop the ball and don't do it, but it is absolutely protocol to do it. It is a very simple and easy test- a quick swab of the hands that is then sent out for testing for GSR. Any department that fails to do it is sloppy and unprofessional, as this department certainly was.
Two shots with her LEFT hand and the first thing the Sheriff says is suicide! How stupid can the Sheriff be and still have a job. Corruption is an ugly trait.
The police claim they treated it like a homicide yet they never tested Jason for gunshot residue?! And they released the vehicle to him within 24 hours?! No doubt his family connection had played a part in this. No justice!
He was probably already rejected and a bit disturbed from his previous relationship so was in a weird frame of mind second time around. Funny I'm often typing a comment then hear the same on a video right then.
Neglecting to take GSR-tests could be just small town cops vs big city crime thing, youd be surprised to learn how many times it is forgotten. Same as releasing the car back to the family. Some departments are really good at asking help, but some wont, even in cases they absolutely should.
I think one of the best things about this case was that the sheriff recognized the conflict of interest right away and turned it over to the state. Not every sheriff or police department would have done that and it was the right thing to do. (10:41)
@@carolsummers8734 no, they didn't just let him keep the van. They processed it just like a normal crime scene and then gave it back. I'm sure the promptness of the process was a professional courtesy. You act as if they just ignored the van as a potential crime scene and let him destroy evidence. It really doesn't take long to obtain swabs, prints, photos, video, etc. It is the further investigation of those items of evidence that take time. Law enforcement still investigated despite thinking it was a suicide initially. That is more than most departments do for obvious homicides at times.
“She’s been shot” , I don’t think anybody would have said that if they knew that their wife had shot herself. Listening to the 911 call, that’s what caught my attention
Just because she was married when she was dating Jason, doesn't mean he's a hypocrite. Maybe the marriage was already over, they were living apart or maybe she just loves to cheat on her husband's. I mean, she does have a pattern for it 🤷🏽
While I agree with you, just think how long 15 years actually is in prison with few of the comforts afforded. It will undoubtedly feel like a lifetime for him.
@Leticia Guerra I doubt it. By then the mother will likely change her mind again. If his parents aren't letting her see the grandkids, she'll want him out to try to get access to the grandkids again. Her mom seems to change her story based off of what benefits her most.😢
@@darcyjeanske821 you mean what benefits the kids of her only daughter. She doesn’t “benefit” She has to play games with a family that has already shown they are just as bad as he does. She is doing what her daughter would likely want. And that is to stay in the life of those babies.
You’d be surprised how many law enforcement agencies don’t have the resources to do GSR tests. You know, with defunding the police being the in thing these days…
Wow, her mom saying “that’s my son-in-law” while never mentioning her daughter in that manner is insane to me. She could’ve fought for visitation with her grandchildren, while still defending her daughter memory!
@@taneshasmith9307 I'm sorry I was responding do all the comments bashing the mother's Behavior after her daughter killed herself and thought that could have been a a reason
Ninety-nine year sentence and eligible for parole in 15? That's crazy. Nobody shoots themselves with their non-dominant hand, and they almost never shoot themselves twice.
& the cop barely touched her & the gun fell out of her hand ! That’s impossible, she would’ve been clutching it tight causing them to have to pry it from her hand. UGHH HE’S SOOO FREAKING GUILTY & I hope they deny EVERY parole hearing because he deserves to ROT under the prison ‼️🤬😤
There's a possible reason why. If I shoot myself through my mouth..like I see in the movies...and I stayed conscious after, I would definitely shoot myself again in the head. Not saying he's not guilty... Just offering a perspective
And Jason destroyed the sanctity of Tiffiney’s first marriage. What a hypocrit. And to have cleaned the car within 24 hours of her death SCREAMS guilty!!
The mother was in denial... She did not want to lose the opportunity of seeing her grandkids. Sad that she's feeling that way. No matter what she needs to be on her daughter's side. She was MURDERED.
She could & most likely would have gotten custody of her grand kids if he was convicted. That woman because she is not a mother didn’t deserve that beautiful child to be her daughter at all!!! She failed her in life & death!!!!
I was HORRIFIED by that mother but she redeemed herself by seeing the truth in the end. My benefit of the doubt for her is that maybe she felt like the MIL would win custody in family court because of MIL's status in the local legal system.
Or, she really feels the way she says she does. Every thing is not calculated and human emotions are complex. But good on you for knowing for a FACT how you would deal with the situation.
This guy is so freaking guilty. There’s not a doubt in my mind that he did it. I have no idea why that mother is crying over him after he brutally murdered her daughter. They should’ve tested his hands for gunshot residue though. The kids are truly left in a sad situation.
His tone and voice on the 911 call so was matter of fact… I think a stranger would have had more emotion then this guy did. It was like he was calling in a pizza order at Dominos.
@@jayronwalker4847 Very odd indeed. He never specifies in what way which is strange, if she shot herself or if a stranger did it. It's as if an external force did it
Her mom is so weird. I understand it’s hard but she needs to be strong for her daughter and grandchildren. I would be rolling in my grave if my mom did something like that.
Getting killed by your loved one is awful but having the person that brought you into this world stand by your killer is even worse! I'm glad she at least realised it..
THANK YOU BECAUSE WTF 😒 the only thing that bothered her out of this entire situation was at 37:46 when one of the mothers friends said hallelujah when he was found guilty. So her dumb tail suddenly bothered by someone being happy HER DAUGHTER got justice ? And it was due to the KILLERS own words ? Like come on now. Even when she realized he did do it. Part 39:17 I don’t understand how he looked me in my eyes and knew he did it. Like come on now stop it.
Some people are over the top empathetic - she couldn’t handle hearing the facts about her son-in-law - maybe she was afraid of not having access to her grandchildren - but that’s just rewarding the narcissist types over the victims :P
The kids live with Jason's parens?! Yikes. I can somewhat understand why Tiffiney's mom wanted to keep her relationship good with every party; I wouldn't want to lose contact with my daughters' kids when they are the most precious things she left behind.
I do not believe Tiffiney would have the presence of mind to shoot herself a second time after being shot in the jaw. The first bullet would have caused unimaginable pain.
Who brings their kids to a sentencing hearing???? How damaging. Those poor kids. It was really interesting to see the transition in the mother. This whole story is just heart breaking. What gets me is him saying, “my wife’s been shot”. I feel like that’s not what you say when you believe someone shot themselves.
Anytime someone has died and the first thing the spouse says is "we were arguing" 9 times out of 10 it's the spouse who did it. How calm and emotionless he is throughout the whole thing is strange. I can't speak for how the mother in law acted, Im just glad the truth came to light & that the kids can try to heal.
He seemed emotionless through even when he was sentenced. I think the guy is just emotionless 24/7 which is probably why they keep cheating on him and he stayed friends with the first. Entirely passionless
Most people that are married have arguments, but not all of them have affairs. This would have been a hard case for me to figure out. What if he didn't lie? The oldest child said he walked in the house when they heard the first shot. That would make me think he was innocent. Kids will tell the truth before an adult would. Most kids pay attention and they know what's going on. Always listen to the kids, because they've been there living around these people the whole time. I feel so sorry for them the most. Poor kids. 🥺😥😢💔
Just for general info. I failed a polygraph where I was absolutely innocent, while my best friend at the time passed, and yet he was the guilty one. That was 41 years ago, and I learned a lot from that experience
And that’s why polygraphs are not allowed as evidence in a court of law, it’s a tool to use to help investigators bc most people actually fail when lying or pass when telling the truth.
This is a tough one for me to watch. Watching Tiffiney's mother defend her killer was infuriating! I couldn't help myself but think that my mother would problem do the same. She stood behind my ex-husband & blamed me even after he was convicted and sentenced for stabbing a man. To this day she call him "Son" This man was abusing me not only mentality & physically but left me financially devastated. But my mother did the most damage. She broke my heart & soul.
I'm sorry for your situation but I don't think this is the same thing. We don't know the relationship between her and her son in law and there's no proof that he abused her. She wants to see her grandchildren. We need to keep in mind that we only know what the mother is saying publicly.
My mom kept on being more than cordial with my ex after he beat nd raped me. I went to trial alone at 21. In her mind you could not possibly be raped by your boyfriend/spouse. I realised the way she grew up, very poor, seing her dad beat her mom, probably conditionned her. So of course I got no support with my case she advise me to pull my complaint against him. Anyways it took years of me explaining for her to finally get it she may not have a daughter anymore today, cause that night I thought he would have killed.
I'm so glad that you showed her the evidence. You didn't push her to it but you provided enough facts and asked enough questions to where she finally decided to take a look at the evidence and learn the truth. I don't know what else to say but seeing that shift was very moving
@@domesticabiltiesExactly! The entire case was based on opinions. Conflicting opinions at that! All I see is how a promiscuous & unfaithful woman ended up ruining a man's character & life overnight.
@@ninaballerina2807Opinions like the medical examiner's? The one who ruled it a homicide? The opinions of the grand jurors who came back with an indictment?
@waynepolo6193 There is a reason why the video is titled 'Mysterious Death of Tiffany Crawford'. Says it all, doesn't it? If you're so keen, watch the video again, and this time pay attention.
@@ninaballerina2807 You mean 'cos it's "mysterious" how someone would be able to shoot themselves, twice - in the head - with their LEFT (non-dominant) hand, from a distance greater than 10 inches away, all while sitting in the driver seat of their car with the doors closed? Pretty mysterious how if she had even done it with the windows down, somehow her hand AND GUN were both found *inside* vehicle. Yeah I agree. That would be pretty mysterious, indeed.
I agree with the shoutout, the doctors were amazing, but it's made clear in this episode that the jury only found him guilty because of his 9-11 call. That's pretty terrifying if you ask me, how stupid some juries can actually be. The doctors gave a mountain of evidence but that's not what convinced this jury. Their own interpretation of his 9-11 call did it for them, because clearly that mattered more than the actual forensic evidence from highly educated professionals.
@@dusanoljaca2585 Haha, "trust the science," right? There were highly educated professionals on both sides saying opposite things. "The actual forensic evidence" could go both ways, one pathologist for the defense saying that it was totally possible to have the skin evidence result from much closer range shots than what the other pathologist -- the black woman -- was claiming. She was arrogant as well, which immediately tells me her testimony was on shaky grounds.
yea.. ? But when he didnt say she shot herself it's also a red flag..So whatever he says it's a red flag in your book, good or bad things he says it's bad lmao
I mean, he almost did. It was almost 6 years before he was charged, also his mother was the Sherrif so he prob thought he had protection there. To be honest though, he was prob in a rage when he shot her and probably wasn't thinking anything about getting away with it at the time. He just saw red due to the affair. I just feel so bad for the kids, her mother, and her as well. I do think its odd the children live with his parents though. Usually they would go with the mothers family, especially considering he killed her. Maybe her mom isn't in a position to take care of them or wasn't 6 years ago and when she found out he did it she didn't want to rip them out of their new home, who knows.
I love seeing the ones where the host asks the guilty person: what made you think you could get away with it? Perp: I saw it on a crime/mystery show Host: but didn't you watch until the end...where the person gets caught?? Kinda why the show exists🙄
I think he said, “after the first shot, he heard a scream.” Then he heard a second shot. If the first shot was in the jaw, could she scream? That little tidbit of information makes me suspicious.
Tiffany's mom saying "what purpose would that serve" when asked why she didn't stop supporting Jason after he got indicted it's mind boggling to me. Mam he murdered your daughter who you gave birth to. What is wrong with this lady?
And he literally just found out about the affair😮 he screams guilty. There’s no way that woman had babies. She was a mother advocate for other moms at herself. She would’ve never just taking her self away from her babies.😢
His parents have her grandchildren. I don't understand why people can't see that going after him endangers her ability to see the children that are the closest thing she has to her daughter left.
It's always so insightful getting to hear from jury members in these episodes...not so frequent in these types of cases and rarely so where the suspect is caught in a lie. How in the world could the medical examiner for the defense have envisioned a way for poor Tiffiney to somehow shoot herself with her _left_ hand twice in the drivers seat at the angle the bullets entered??
That is definitely sketchy. I know the vehicle was released to the family but who in the world would want to continue using a vehicle where something so tragic had happened and why would they clean it so quickly? Not the most brightest bulbs in the box, these officers.
I was going to church, volunteering, and had done an evaluation with a counselor, but had thoughts of suicide. I never told anyone. Usually the people who are serious about it don’t tell anyone. I did attempt it, too. Have had thoughts of it since and I now have a loving husband and two children. So people saying ‘oh no, she seemed fine, she was helping people and started seeing a counselor’ doesn’t mean anything. Regardless of the verdict or what actually happened in this particular case, people need to keep that in mind. People often commit suicide when no one saw it coming.
@@shelliedee did you read the second half of what I said? I was saying that it doesn’t necessarily apply to this case. It’s just that a lot of the family and friends in the video kept saying she didn’t seem suicidal. It brought to mind how often people say that in general. I’m not saying that SHE committed suicide though. Edit: I’m simply saying that I hope people keep that in mind in general when hearing things in this video. Just because someone has everything going for them, it doesn’t mean they’re okay on the inside.
@@melissajenkins9960 You're absolutely correct. Depression doesn't look any one way. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it isn't. I just can't stand when people IGNORE facts that point toward homicide, simply because the victim experienced depression. There are SO many people in the world that experience depression and don't want to die at all.
Just before the 5 minute mark in the video, the dispatcher asks him if she is breathing, to which he responded that he was trying to pick her up and lift her to check. In my opinion he was lying, as the gun would not still be positioned in her hand, it would have fell. Surprised they did not mention this in the video.
Maybe the mother kept her mouth shut because she Wanted to see her grandchildren? Really!? I would rather see my grandchildren WithOut the presence of my daughters murderer! What would the mother do if her grandkids turned up mysteriously dead…stick by the suspected murderer? Please!😮 and frankly, I’m surprised the mother didn’t want to take custody of her grandchildren rather than leave them with him!
@Theun Knowntxter You honestly don't get what I'm saying...? It's unreal to me how many adults don't have any critical thinking skills. 🙄 Try to stay with me here. Do you honestly think that he would have allowed her to see his children if she had accused him of being a murderer??? And it's not a matter of her WANTING custody. Do you think she would have been ABLE to get custody of them when he was free? Legally, he was innocent before he was convicted. Yeah, I'm sure he would have gladly just handed them over when she said to him, "You've a murderer, now give me my grandkids." My God, I can't believe that I have to explain this to an adult...
Likely some sort of coping mechanism. Easy for us looking in to pick her behavior apart. It's also an edited program for TV with its own narrative as well.
I think it's inappropriate and utterly disgusting that his parents brought those children to their father's sentencing. Talk about messing with the children's mental health.
She didn't want him to find out because " she didn't want to hurt him". How about not cheating if you don't want to hurt him ? How about get divorced if you just have to have sex with other people?
Yeah, that's stupid because they can't keep the memory of their mom alive like her family could. On the other hand, if I was related to such a case I don't know if I would be able to say anything good about the parent that killed the other and that's also damaging for the children. For example my father is an narcissistic abusive alcoholic criminal and the only reason he is not in jail is that he works with the police. And every time someone says I look like my father, I don't see it as a compliment.
@@annak8755 Yes I can attest to the hatred of being compared to an abusive parent. My mother is a psychological and formerly violent abuser and serial adulteress. My dad was no angel either. Obviously like all abusers my mother has her facade that she puts on for her friends and neighbours but it's so disgusting to me when people think that's she is nice because she basically buys their affection with gifts of items or money. I can't even describe the anger and hatred.
The irony about this case is he was cheating with Tiffany, on her first marriage, but he couldn't handle it when it happened TO him. His evasiveness on the 911 call sealed his fate.
@@melb1215 That's not what @v t said. Jason was cheating with Tiffany while she was married to her first husband. He couldn't take it when Tiffany was cheating on him with another man, even though he was an adulterer, also.
I don't think there was enough evidence to convict him another injustice of law. I'm not saying he is innocent but in the eyes of the law he should be. There were too many inconsistencies to paint him 100% guilty
I couldn’t believe that Tiffany’s mother Cheryl supported Jason. She kept saying ‘my son in law ‘ and not once did she refer to her daughter . She only attended court once during the trial and when she did , she was on the Stand saying how wonderful Jason was . She never attended court to hear the evidence against the man who possibly murdered her daughter . She fully supported him and his parents. Even when the verdict came through she was sitting behind Jason’s parents . It’s very odd that she never once questioned Jason’s guilt . If the verdict had been ‘ not guilty ‘ she would have readily accepted that her daughter committed suicide . And she even said she didn’t want to jeopardise his Appeal so wouldn’t say anything more to the 48 hour reporter . Good that she finally spoke out during his sentencing . I hope she contests Jason’s release in 14 yrs time, though I doubt she will . ( He has 15 yr minimum sentence) It was disgusting that Jason’s parents brought the children along for sentencing . It was a tactic to garner sympathy for Jason but the judge is used to that! . They should never have got custody of the children . They won’t keep the children’s mother’s memory alive in a good way . They’ll tell the children that their mother committed suicide and their father is innocent . The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
He’s obviously guilty, not mentioning the affair is a huge tell IMO. He didn’t want to disclose his motive. It’s beyond me why people have affairs instead of just leaving.. you never really know anybody or what they’re capable of
@@ReticulatingSplines_ true. At the initial scene though with the cops, it seems natural to me to explain the reason for the argument we’re talking about. Not bringing it up seems weird
Right at the beginning when he's watching the first responders check his wife, he's standing there with hands on his head looking just like Chris Watts
This was so bizarre in that the mother of this woman totally sided with her killer. She finally realizes she was wrong until she supposedly heard all of the evidence. Very strange lady.
I am considering that victim’s mom loves her son in law. And perhaps she felt some guilt that her daughter had an affair on her son in law. She had a change of mind after she considered all the evidence.
Really. The victim was in relationship with another guy, but told to her husband “loves him”, shot her self in presence of him, from his side and at least 10 inch distance with the L hand, being R handed…. His face and eyes tell a lot about him, sadistic liar !
That's not what she said it all she said she doesn't know and that nobody wins in this situation because he's got a family to she said she doesn't want to believe that her daughter shot herself but she doesn't want to believe that her son-in-law the father of her grandbabies did it either
I can get it, we are very close to one of our son in laws family. We have share Christmass together, new years, so many differant events, we live close to his family and he totally dotes on my daughter. If he killed her, it would be hard to let it sink in, on top of losing our daughter. I would feel for his family as much as our own. Like she said there are no winners, both families are hurt so deeply... She didn't want to admit to herself nevermind the world, that she lost her child at the hands of a man she loved as a son.... The father of her grandchildren... It was alot to process... The life as she knew it collasped that day.. Noone can blame her for mentally trying to hold on to some of it...or processing it bit by bit...
Never have a smile that lights up the room or be the one who would give everyone the shirt off her back. OR never be the kind of person who brings people together.
The husband seems way too calm in both the 911 call and when the police are talking to him outside his house. He does not seem concerned at all about his wife. He also puts his head down when 48 hours asks if he shot his wife.usually when someone does not look you in the eye they are lying.
of course he was lying...all the time/ The reason who was so cold is cos she had been cheating on him, so he felt betrayed, again, so carried anger ...not loving feelings ...
It was heart breaking to see a mother not upset and seeking justice for her slain daughter, and I figured she was doing that so that she would continue to have access to her grand children. She seemed to mirror her son in law's pragmatic disposition. Then they show her the evidence and she comes out of her stupor and shows the despair of the loss of her daughter and in front of her grandchildren. Jason has a hold on his mother in law.
Am I the only person who understands why the mother is doing this? She wants a relationship with her grandchildren! He can prevent that just bc, let alone testifying against him. The grandchildren are all she has left of her daughter. I would hope she will change her mind as the children get older, or if her family has custody of the kids. Cheating is dangerous. I cheated on my first husband w/my second husband. That was 37 years ago and I am still married to my 2nd…. Never cheated again…. It isn’t right. It causes too much pain. But, it was always in the back of my mind that anger, and pain can cause some people to do horrible things.
Her daughter was married to another man when she started an affair with this guy. She was married to this guy & had two children and was in a relationship with another man. And her current husband was leading a normal life as a single parent prior to meeting her and was perfectly normal thru his marriage with her - no abuse, no cheating . Maybe her Mother found it difficult to empathize with her daughter to accept him as her killer
Girl bye, I'm a woman and can plainly see that this gall was hardly a victim if she was not even just a one, but a two time-cheater. Not saying that anyone has the right to take anyone's life, but excuse me if I ain't gonna sit here and cry over someone who stretched the rope in the absolutely reckless way that this person seems to have done. Again, did I hear it correctly that she cheated on him not once but twice?! When people push others to that kind of limit, take them for that wild of an emotional ride, no one can complain then when that rope gets stretched too thin and eventually just breaks. He wasn't exactly the smartest in killing her tho, and in doing so totally allowing for her to destroy his life. He was angry at how he had allowed for her to play him for a fool, that anger blinded him and is what made him pull that trigger. It could have all been avoided if he had simply just left after the first time she cheated. They didn't have children, what made him stay after the first time she cheated?! That's what he was angry at, himself, because he didn't have the self respect to just leave the first time she did it; and because he didn't leave then she did it again, played him for a fool again. That's what killed him. It's time people understand something for once and for all, people will do what they will do, they can try to throw whatever bs they can try to throw at us, it's the way that we respond to it that determines who the fool is.

Yep! Don’t have children! People spend more time s as Ms effort selecting an outfit for an event than they do selecting the person with whom they want to create a human being.
I can’t believe Tiffany’s mother supported Jason. And worse, she didn’t attend the trial. If it were my child murdered, I’d be in that court room everyday and make sure justice was served.
I have lost count the number of times I threw my hands in the air when listening to Tiffineys mother. The fact that this woman STILL believes that her Jason didnt do this, but also the fact that when she talked about her daughter, she never cried. No real tears.
I am so with you on this!! I was yelling at the tv like I was yelling at Tiffany! I couldn’t believe it!! 😮. My goodness!!! I feel sorry for Tiffany, she needs some counseling I believe. Wonder why the victims dad never spoke up to Tiffany…like this is our daughter that died!!
Love is blind. I can’t tell you how many times I denied I was being cheated on because I was in love….or I apologized for something somebody did and I was in the right. Love makes you do things even the smartest person wouldn’t understand 😭 Thank god I’m not that same little boy anymore ✌🏻
When someone admits to an argument before a significant other goes missing or is killed, then you pretty much know it was them.... I mean this guy found out she had an affair, they were arguing, and then she ended up dead! Shot herself TWICE in the head, plus with her other hand! How could ANYONE believe he didn't do it!? He is guilty as sin!
What do you mean? Maybe she believed it was a suicide. Literally the only reason it was even investigated as a homicide was because of the second shot, which isn't even as uncommon as they're making it out to be.

It doesn't mean she wasn't suicd@l, vice versa. She didn't know the previous day that her husband is going to find out her infidelity. She thought she could just go on with the marriage and spit out her guilty conscience to a therapist, but that wouldn't happen because her husband kicked her out. She had every reason to unalive herself. There is more proof for her doing it to herself than him doing it. They convinced him by the way he is, by his character and by his past being cheated before. And that detective shouting, swearing and lying about the polygraph test was way out of control and inappropriate. He couldn't brake him, so he lost it. I sure hope they appeal and get his verdict overturned. And if not, that he gets our in 15 years. The justice wasn't served in this case.
I believe it came down to fear, fear of not only losing her daughter but also losing her grandchildren, fear of her grandchildren not only losing their mother but also their father. It’s easy to call her a “traitor” from the outside looking in but it’s clear that poor women was in absolute turmoil over this. In the end she showed her true strength by standing up for her daughter
For one highly unlikely thing to occur during a suicide is odd, but not entirely unbelievable. For several highly unlikely things to occur is entirely unbelievable. In this case, the husband expects everyone to believe that... 1) His wife opted to commit suicide via gun, even though women rarely commit suicide that way ...AND... 2) She decided to shoot with her left hand despite being right handed ...AND... 3) Despite being in the driver's seat of her vehicle, she somehow managed to hold and shoot the gun from at least a foot away from her head ...AND... 4) After shooting herself once, she shot herself again (still with her left hand from a foot away) for good measure. To reiterate, on its own, any of those four aspects of the husband's story is hard to believe.... For all of these extremely rare and unlikely things to occur is impossible to believe.
It's hard to argue with any of that, you nailed it. #4 never happens. If a person failed on the first shot, they most likely won't be alert and aware enough to fire a second. There's shock, fear, confusion (am I dead?) Just the volume inside a car is going to be unbearable.
@@diabolikmitchell2960 100% I agree. If you shot yourself once, there's no chance that you'd immediately realize that it "didn't take" and then decide to do it again.
I remember a story where a guy tried committing suicide but pulled that gun away at the last moment and shot his chin off I believe. He was so messed up that he was unable to shoot again, he went unconscious and then died from the blood loss. Can’t remember the specifics completely, but there’s no way a small woman can shoot herself twice. I believe she would’ve went unconscious from the pain and shock from the first shot.
There's some crazy videos of people who are still awake and moving after a failed suicide attempt where they blow the entire face off. Pure adrenaline keeping them going
Her mother was more worried about her son in law going to jail than her own daughter being killed 😢😮 It was shocking and disappointing. She failed her daughter even after her death. Rest in peace, Angel
She didn't want to lose her grandchildren and the relationship they had. They liv with his parents and probably believe in his innocence.. she is in a losing position.
@mirandaschalen that's a very poor excuse. I don't care what type of relationship I have with someone. My child killer will be my number one enemy. The grandkids' situation wouldn't have changed anything if she stood to fight for her child. Anyway, justice was served, and may her beautiful soul rest in peace
Did they check for gun residue? I cannot believe they didn't check him for gun residue. It's crazy how she would use her nondominent hand holding the gun 10 inches away and shoot herself twice, that doesn't even make sense.
Not to mention that "the first shot in the jaw" would most definitely knock her unconscious. Just think about it. That "medical witness" for defense is full of crap.
I can't help but to feel like his reaction to her "suicide" was not normal. I would imagine seeing someone you love dying or dead in front of you would at least evoke some type of emotion.
except he had every reason to not love her at that point, if it was suicide, he had every reason to say you deserve this at that point even if he didnt do it, there is just too much doubt in this case and the prosecution should have been made to work harder to get a conviction!
I hate this kind of argument, to be honest. Everybody's different, and far too many innocent people have been persecuted or convicted from somebody's idea of inappropriate emotional response.. He did not feel right when the cops showed up, but the emotion wasn't the problem. Rather, what he said sounded like he was telling a story, not like he was actually remembering something that had just happened. I've had to talk to the police before about a violent crime that just happened; it just doesn't sound like that. You backtrack, you correct yourself, you add things. You think a lot, trying to make sure you're remembering and retelling it accurately. It's nothing like this. Edit: He used the exact same words to the Dateline person! Totally a memorized story.
I actually spent most of the episode thinking Jason was going to be innocent because he was filmed in the interviews for the show - that's usually a huge give away because it shows the person didn't end up in prison, just like how when they are guilty there are no interviews with them. I thought the episode was really well done in that regard when they zoom out in the end to show them interviewing him from prison.
Also on the 911 call he said "my wife's been shot" not "she shot herself". Now there's only him and her there, so if it wasn't him, then it could only be her, so he would definitely say "she shot herself". But he said "she's been shot". Like by some fluke there was another person there!
it made no sense to me how clean the car door was, after supposedly two shots fired at her head inches away from it. I was also surprised they didn't do any luminol testing, no gunshot residue testing.... but those jurors were so smart figuring out that discrepancy in the end.
This is the first time I have ever commented on a public forum. I also don't want to judge, but this mother is either the most stoical woman or the least interested in getting justice for her daughter. If she had questioned sooner, with more vigour, this result would have come much sooner. I don't recall her saying she thought her daughter was suicidal. I would move heaven and earth to find out the truth had this been one of my girls. Rest easy, Tiffiney. Rest easy, mum, too, I hope.
u can see she loved her son in law , like a son and didnt want to think he killled her daughter....she may even have loved him more than she loved her daughter...who knows
Everyone processes extreme grief differently. When it's your child, the trauma and shock can last for years and years. Not willing to believe your son in law could have done this does not indicate she loves him more. The Mom still seems to me to be in shock.
This is a horrible case. I believe Jason for sure killed his wife and his parents especially his mom helped get rid of some evidence by the help of her police coworkers and that is why this case took so many years to be solved. Also I bet that Jason will get out of prison in 15 years with the help of his mom pulling some strings. His parents should have never been allowed to get the custody of her kids. Total injustice in this case😢
Exactly, this needs to be escalate, involve FBI, Internal Affairs. Polygraph and question all potentially involved in cover up and evidence tampering and remove them from law enforcement

I truly believe Justice had won. And I can't figure out Tiffiney's mom her son in law, I hadn't seen him shed a tear for his wife. She should only be crying for her daughter, not her arrogant son in law. So very sad . RIP Tiffiney

I don't know what to think 😮
Jason was soooo upset that Tiffany had violated the "sanctity of their marriage," but he didn't seem to have a problem with committing adultery with Tiffiney while she was still married to her previous husband. That hypocrisy, alone, made me suspect him from the outset.
He also apparently didn't realize that patterns repeat. If she did it to her last husband she'd do it again
Amen.
THEN* hypocrisy alone

Tiffany's mom is the reason why we all have to deal with scam callers. This woman will believe anything.
😂😂😂sorry that did make me laugh!
I’ll bet she’s dating a handsome wealthy prince whom she has never met but has sent him a lot of money 😂
I just started this, but why do they dab their eyes when they're not crying. Do the producers of the show tell them to do that? I wonder
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Evil husband
As soon as I heard that officer saying, "There's nothing here that says anything other than suicide" within a few minutes of looking at the scene, I KNEW we were about to learn that scumbag husband had connections in the police department.
And the car. Why would they want to check for blood spatter patterns on a two bullets to the head suicide? No way, just let the family get to cleaning it.
💯
I am an American. I have also studied law and I determined a long time ago that there is a lot of corruption in the American legal system. Lots! I am an unbeliever in our system.
Good job! 👋
Yep thought the same!
This was one of the best episodes I've ever seen. This interviewer should consider becoming a prosecutor. He didn't let the suspect get away with lying like so often happens. And yet with that same tenacity, he also gently helped the victims mom come out of her denial and face the hard truth. I'm so thankful, despite clear conflicts of interest, justice was served.
I was surprised to see him on 48 Hours. Six years ago, he covered the Central America beat--sad and scary stuff.
It is not his job to influence any witness.
@Picklesmacks ….. this was literally NOT the best episode that they filmed… i give it a 5 outta 10..
The guy was able to answer everything though. And the jury convicted him with less than beyond reasonable doubt.
@@kool-kool In your opinion. The person making the comment think it was. I think it was a really good episode too, in MY opinion
It's mind-boggling how the first officers to attend the scene didn't even test Jason for firearms residue. It's unbelievable really.
Some places don't do that test
@@nonamepainter that case was featured on the show 48 Hours if you are interested. The episode is called Power and Passion (I think I'm remembering that correctly)
@@nonamepainter you are most welcome 🌞
@@GGiblet It is protocol across the entire US to do a GSR test on all witnesses and victims whenever a firearm is involved in a death. Sometimes police departments drop the ball and don't do it, but it is absolutely protocol to do it. It is a very simple and easy test- a quick swab of the hands that is then sent out for testing for GSR. Any department that fails to do it is sloppy and unprofessional, as this department certainly was.
Most men seem to automatically stick up for men against women.
Two shots with her LEFT hand and the first thing the Sheriff says is suicide! How stupid can the Sheriff be and still have a job. Corruption is an ugly trait.
Most overpaid pig$ are stupid.
door closed she would have gun residue on her head. there was blood on the rocker panel that if the door was closed how did the blood get on it?
The gun was in the driver's side door, she grabbed it with her left hand. You're an idiot. It takes PROOF, not speculation. He got railroaded.
Not necessarily corruption. It could be incompetence.
The police claim they treated it like a homicide yet they never tested Jason for gunshot residue?! And they released the vehicle to him within 24 hours?! No doubt his family connection had played a part in this. No justice!
He was probably already rejected and a bit disturbed from his previous relationship so was in a weird frame of mind second time around. Funny I'm often typing a comment then hear the same on a video right then.
That former chief medical examiner for the state of Alabama was way off too. I wonder how much he has got wrong.
HI IS INOCENT !!
Neglecting to take GSR-tests could be just small town cops vs big city crime thing, youd be surprised to learn how many times it is forgotten. Same as releasing the car back to the family. Some departments are really good at asking help, but some wont, even in cases they absolutely should.
No justice? He got life in prison.
I think one of the best things about this case was that the sheriff recognized the conflict of interest right away and turned it over to the state. Not every sheriff or police department would have done that and it was the right thing to do. (10:41)
He let the husband keep the van and he and his family totally washed it up all within 24 hrs of her death.
😅
yup! or it would have been completely covered up and swept under the rug
Was it because it was Rhonda who did it Jason's mother
@@carolsummers8734 no, they didn't just let him keep the van. They processed it just like a normal crime scene and then gave it back. I'm sure the promptness of the process was a professional courtesy. You act as if they just ignored the van as a potential crime scene and let him destroy evidence. It really doesn't take long to obtain swabs, prints, photos, video, etc. It is the further investigation of those items of evidence that take time. Law enforcement still investigated despite thinking it was a suicide initially. That is more than most departments do for obvious homicides at times.
“She’s been shot” , I don’t think anybody would have said that if they knew that their wife had shot herself. Listening to the 911 call, that’s what caught my attention
Youre right if hes innocent and he knew 100% he didnt do it..naturally he would have said my wife shot herself or my wife just committed suicide
Yup!
She shouldn't uh been cheating.
Great point I didn't even think about that
Thats nonsense.
If you didnt know what happened, thats exactly what you would say. "Shes been shot".
The most shocking thing about this story is Tiffany's mom supporting her killer. Like, wow.
He was dating Tiffany while she was still married. How hypocritical can you be.
Exactly. How you get them is how you lose them
I agree
Just because she was married when she was dating Jason, doesn't mean he's a hypocrite. Maybe the marriage was already over, they were living apart or maybe she just loves to cheat on her husband's. I mean, she does have a pattern for it 🤷🏽
You lose em how you get ‘em!!
Exactly 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼‼️
I absolutely love how 48 hours puts together their episodes. This whole time I was thinking he was found innocent by the way they showed it.
Sarcasm. I love it. Yeah, 48 hours is average at best. I'll watch. They ain't Dateline.
@@user-ru9gf7ky2y lol. Nah, I was being for real 🤷🏾♂️
Me too.
They occasionally do that now. Interview the killer like he's free
I came to the comments because am so mad it’s all pointing to “innocent” lol!
It's a pity that under Alabama law he will be eligible for parole in 15 years even though he was sentenced to 99 years. That isn't justice at all.
I don't think he'll get parole, because her mother will be at the hearing to make sure he doesn't!
While I agree with you, just think how long 15 years actually is in prison with few of the comforts afforded. It will undoubtedly feel like a lifetime for him.
I thought he said 50 years!! Wait wow only 15 😱😱😱‼️ That’s insane!!!
@Leticia Guerra I doubt it. By then the mother will likely change her mind again. If his parents aren't letting her see the grandkids, she'll want him out to try to get access to the grandkids again. Her mom seems to change her story based off of what benefits her most.😢
@@darcyjeanske821 you mean what benefits the kids of her only daughter. She doesn’t “benefit” She has to play games with a family that has already shown they are just as bad as he does. She is doing what her daughter would likely want. And that is to stay in the life of those babies.
Did they check her hand for gunpowder residue? Seems there’s lot of incompetence with these detectives.
You’d be surprised how many law enforcement agencies don’t have the resources to do GSR tests. You know, with defunding the police being the in thing these days…
Right?! Like this one thing could have definitively solved the case.
Incompetence, or crazy like a fox? They didn't want the truth found.
It seems like a lot of things like that were overlooked
Wow, her mom saying “that’s my son-in-law” while never mentioning her daughter in that manner is insane to me. She could’ve fought for visitation with her grandchildren, while still defending her daughter memory!

Ninety-nine year sentence and eligible for parole in 15? That's crazy. Nobody shoots themselves with their non-dominant hand, and they almost never shoot themselves twice.
& the cop barely touched her & the gun fell out of her hand ! That’s impossible, she would’ve been clutching it tight causing them to have to pry it from her hand. UGHH HE’S SOOO FREAKING GUILTY & I hope they deny EVERY parole hearing because he deserves to ROT under the prison ‼️🤬😤
I'm a left-handed person but I also play sports with my right hand ambidextrous kind of
You don't know what she was no one really does
Should have been found not guilty. Cheaters deserve everything they get. He'll be out in 15 while she's hanging out in her casket
There's a possible reason why. If I shoot myself through my mouth..like I see in the movies...and I stayed conscious after, I would definitely shoot myself again in the head. Not saying he's not guilty... Just offering a perspective
Man, the mom defended him throughout the entire episode. At the end she asked the most powerful of question: "Jason, if not you, who?"
She already said she's defending him because she doesn't want her relationship with her grandkids to be messed up. Ppl are spiteful.
That was killing me the whole time. I’m glad she finally listened to the evidence and saw the truth!

And Jason destroyed the sanctity of Tiffiney’s first marriage. What a hypocrit.
And to have cleaned the car within 24 hours of her death SCREAMS guilty!!
No, SHE destroyed her own first marriage by cheating with Jason. They were both at fault, but she was the one who was married.
The mother was in denial... She did not want to lose the opportunity of seeing her grandkids. Sad that she's feeling that way. No matter what she needs to be on her daughter's side. She was MURDERED.
She could & most likely would have gotten custody of her grand kids if he was convicted. That woman because she is not a mother didn’t deserve that beautiful child to be her daughter at all!!! She failed her in life & death!!!!
That's exactly why the murderers family should NEVER get the kids. It's ridiculous!
Please 🙏🏾
I was HORRIFIED by that mother but she redeemed herself by seeing the truth in the end. My benefit of the doubt for her is that maybe she felt like the MIL would win custody in family court because of MIL's status in the local legal system.
Or, she really feels the way she says she does. Every thing is not calculated and human emotions are complex. But good on you for knowing for a FACT how you would deal with the situation.
This guy is so freaking guilty. There’s not a doubt in my mind that he did it. I have no idea why that mother is crying over him after he brutally murdered her daughter. They should’ve tested his hands for gunshot residue though. The kids are truly left in a sad situation.
It's vile. Almost as if the mother is in an intimate relationship with him herself, the way she's acting.
His tone and voice on the 911 call so was matter of fact… I think a stranger would have had more emotion then this guy did. It was like he was calling in a pizza order at Dominos.
‘My wife is shot’ such odd use of words.
@@jayronwalker4847 Very odd indeed. He never specifies in what way which is strange, if she shot herself or if a stranger did it. It's as if an external force did it

Yeah it was a little weird. Why wouldn’t you want to know the truth from the very beginning…. It would be hard but I would want to know.

I agree there's something not right
Enabling? Like not doing anything as her daughter was committing adultery?
She may not want to get lumbered with kids. She's a bit odd.
Maybe she wasn't close to her daughter.
Getting killed by your loved one is awful but having the person that brought you into this world stand by your killer is even worse! I'm glad she at least realised it..
THANK YOU BECAUSE WTF 😒 the only thing that bothered her out of this entire situation was at 37:46 when one of the mothers friends said hallelujah when he was found guilty. So her dumb tail suddenly bothered by someone being happy HER DAUGHTER got justice ? And it was due to the KILLERS own words ? Like come on now. Even when she realized he did do it. Part 39:17 I don’t understand how he looked me in my eyes and knew he did it. Like come on now stop it.
I listened to video couldn’t watch while on the clock.
Some people are over the top empathetic - she couldn’t handle hearing the facts about her son-in-law - maybe she was afraid of not having access to her grandchildren - but that’s just rewarding the narcissist types over the victims :P
The video of the gun dropping out of her hand on police body-cam _still_ bothers me and makes me think it's a suicide... 🤷🏼♀️
26:33 "Tiffany's mom *_NEVER CHANGED_* how she felt about her son-in-law, Jason."
.... Hmm, but did she not do exactly that?
The kids live with Jason's parens?! Yikes. I can somewhat understand why Tiffiney's mom wanted to keep her relationship good with every party; I wouldn't want to lose contact with my daughters' kids when they are the most precious things she left behind.
@Elisa Heiskanen Let's just hope that goes both ways. The parents of Jason might not feel the same way.
She knows he’s innocent
I think she could still believe her daughter committed suicide
The children should never have been allowed to remain with his parents he is guilty and as a mother my allegiance is to my dead daughter first!
We don't know her situation. We should be careful about judging others. We don't walk in their shoes.
I do not believe Tiffiney would have the presence of mind to shoot herself a second time after being shot in the jaw. The first bullet would have caused unimaginable pain.
Yes, so much pain she wanted to end it

Who brings their kids to a sentencing hearing???? How damaging. Those poor kids. It was really interesting to see the transition in the mother. This whole story is just heart breaking.
What gets me is him saying, “my wife’s been shot”. I feel like that’s not what you say when you believe someone shot themselves.

Yeah you'd definitely say "my wife kileld/shot herself". Not the other. This guy did it
They did it for sympathy to try to get a lighter sentence
People with big egos!!!! Torey Lanez did that was so awkward his son was probably confused and his little sister was traumatized crying.
@@bobbyfitzgerald4165 yep
Anytime someone has died and the first thing the spouse says is "we were arguing" 9 times out of 10 it's the spouse who did it. How calm and emotionless he is throughout the whole thing is strange. I can't speak for how the mother in law acted, Im just glad the truth came to light & that the kids can try to heal.
Well in this case it could be her shame that drove her.
He seemed emotionless through even when he was sentenced. I think the guy is just emotionless 24/7 which is probably why they keep cheating on him and he stayed friends with the first. Entirely passionless
Exactly my thoughts. I was waiting for the "argument' part
Most people that are married have arguments, but not all of them have affairs. This would have been a hard case for me to figure out. What if he didn't lie? The oldest child said he walked in the house when they heard the first shot. That would make me think he was innocent. Kids will tell the truth before an adult would. Most kids pay attention and they know what's going on. Always listen to the kids, because they've been there living around these people the whole time. I feel so sorry for them the most. Poor kids. 🥺😥😢💔
Even bigger is when he says her last words were that she loved him I see this over and over
Just for general info. I failed a polygraph where I was absolutely innocent, while my best friend at the time passed, and yet he was the guilty one. That was 41 years ago, and I learned a lot from that experience
And that’s why polygraphs are not allowed as evidence in a court of law, it’s a tool to use to help investigators bc most people actually fail when lying or pass when telling the truth.
This is a tough one for me to watch. Watching Tiffiney's mother defend her killer was infuriating! I couldn't help myself but think that my mother would problem do the same. She stood behind my ex-husband & blamed me even after he was convicted and sentenced for stabbing a man. To this day she call him "Son" This man was abusing me not only mentality & physically but left me financially devastated. But my mother did the most damage. She broke my heart & soul.
My mother broke my heart and soul too but in a different way
I'm sorry for your situation but I don't think this is the same thing. We don't know the relationship between her and her son in law and there's no proof that he abused her. She wants to see her grandchildren. We need to keep in mind that we only know what the mother is saying publicly.
❤I’m so sorry - my mom did me that dirty too😢
My mom kept on being more than cordial with my ex after he beat nd raped me. I went to trial alone at 21. In her mind you could not possibly be raped by your boyfriend/spouse. I realised the way she grew up, very poor, seing her dad beat her mom, probably conditionned her.
So of course I got no support with my case she advise me to pull my complaint against him. Anyways it took years of me explaining for her to finally get it she may not have a daughter anymore today, cause that night I thought he would have killed.
Sounds like my mother a complete narcissist who destroyed my life, never not a time when she didn’t let me down, I hate her!!
I'm so glad that you showed her the evidence. You didn't push her to it but you provided enough facts and asked enough questions to where she finally decided to take a look at the evidence and learn the truth. I don't know what else to say but seeing that shift was very moving

Except for that doctor that said it was suicide.

I agree with the shoutout, the doctors were amazing, but it's made clear in this episode that the jury only found him guilty because of his 9-11 call. That's pretty terrifying if you ask me, how stupid some juries can actually be. The doctors gave a mountain of evidence but that's not what convinced this jury. Their own interpretation of his 9-11 call did it for them, because clearly that mattered more than the actual forensic evidence from highly educated professionals.
@@dusanoljaca2585 Haha, "trust the science," right? There were highly educated professionals on both sides saying opposite things. "The actual forensic evidence" could go both ways, one pathologist for the defense saying that it was totally possible to have the skin evidence result from much closer range shots than what the other pathologist -- the black woman -- was claiming. She was arrogant as well, which immediately tells me her testimony was on shaky grounds.
The mom's protection of her son-in-law over worrying if her own daughter has been murdered is downright bizarre.
Anytime the spouse says things like “they were drinking a lot” to try to besmirch the deceased’s character…it’s a huge red flag.
yea.. ? But when he didnt say she shot herself it's also a red flag..So whatever he says it's a red flag in your book, good or bad things he says it's bad lmao

Why do people think they can get away with this? Do they not watch true crime shows?
Exactly!! I've watched crime and mystery shows forever and always thought I'd be caught for sure. Plus I'm a terrible liar 🤗
It's hard to believe....I know....but some people actually don't! Blows my mind!
Good question
I mean, he almost did. It was almost 6 years before he was charged, also his mother was the Sherrif so he prob thought he had protection there. To be honest though, he was prob in a rage when he shot her and probably wasn't thinking anything about getting away with it at the time. He just saw red due to the affair. I just feel so bad for the kids, her mother, and her as well. I do think its odd the children live with his parents though. Usually they would go with the mothers family, especially considering he killed her. Maybe her mom isn't in a position to take care of them or wasn't 6 years ago and when she found out he did it she didn't want to rip them out of their new home, who knows.
I love seeing the ones where the host asks the guilty person: what made you think you could get away with it?
Perp: I saw it on a crime/mystery show
Host: but didn't you watch until the end...where the person gets caught?? Kinda why the show exists🙄
His mom was in the local law enforcement, yet chose to clean the van before evidence could be gathered. That speaks volumes imo.
Right
The police told them they already gathered all the evidence they could.

The good ole boy system has always been, and goes both ways.
I think he said, “after the first shot, he heard a scream.” Then he heard a second shot. If the first shot was in the jaw, could she scream? That little tidbit of information makes me suspicious.
You are a good detective! I did not even catch that.
Tiffany's mom saying "what purpose would that serve" when asked why she didn't stop supporting Jason after he got indicted it's mind boggling to me. Mam he murdered your daughter who you gave birth to. What is wrong with this lady?
And he literally just found out about the affair😮 he screams guilty. There’s no way that woman had babies. She was a mother advocate for other moms at herself. She would’ve never just taking her self away from her babies.😢
@rory clynes Bro murdering someone is worse than cheating on someone. Why do I have to explain this?
His parents have her grandchildren. I don't understand why people can't see that going after him endangers her ability to see the children that are the closest thing she has to her daughter left.
Grandchildren? Maybe she didn’t want to lose them too right away.. it’s mistifying
Her mother didn’t like that she was having an affair and wanted to leave her husband so she sided with her daughter’s killer 😢
This is my first time seeing a report by David Begnaud, and he did a great job! Very natural and personable.
I like the reporter ! He’s brutally honest and direct.
Stone-faced😊
He's creepy...
It's always so insightful getting to hear from jury members in these episodes...not so frequent in these types of cases and rarely so where the suspect is caught in a lie. How in the world could the medical examiner for the defense have envisioned a way for poor Tiffiney to somehow shoot herself with her _left_ hand twice in the drivers seat at the angle the bullets entered??
The strangest thing for me from the beginning is his mom worked for the Sheriffs office and cleaned the car.
Wait wasn’t it not even dirty? I mean blood wasn’t on the door as the coroner said!
The sheriff’s Dept released the van to family. The whole case was bungled from start to finish.
I thought: Who is worse? The mom or the police?
That is definitely sketchy.
I know the vehicle was released to the family but who in the world would want to continue using a vehicle where something so tragic had happened and why would they clean it so quickly?
Not the most brightest bulbs in the box, these officers.
Dirty cops!
WOW 99 yrs but eligible for parole in ONLY 15 yrs !!!! That is just absolutely Ridiculous. Our judicial system is a mess !!!!
No murderer should ever be eligible for parole.
Alabama justice system
I thought he said eligible in 50 years, not 15.
@@Justbizness7777Charles Manson had parole hearings. It doesn’t mean that you’re going to get released.
Pretty sure he said 50 years.
I was going to church, volunteering, and had done an evaluation with a counselor, but had thoughts of suicide. I never told anyone. Usually the people who are serious about it don’t tell anyone. I did attempt it, too. Have had thoughts of it since and I now have a loving husband and two children. So people saying ‘oh no, she seemed fine, she was helping people and started seeing a counselor’ doesn’t mean anything.
Regardless of the verdict or what actually happened in this particular case, people need to keep that in mind. People often commit suicide when no one saw it coming.
But just because YOU had suicidal thoughts you never spoke about it, doesn't mean that she was suicidal and killed herself.
@@shelliedee did you read the second half of what I said? I was saying that it doesn’t necessarily apply to this case. It’s just that a lot of the family and friends in the video kept saying she didn’t seem suicidal. It brought to mind how often people say that in general. I’m not saying that SHE committed suicide though.
Edit: I’m simply saying that I hope people keep that in mind in general when hearing things in this video. Just because someone has everything going for them, it doesn’t mean they’re okay on the inside.
@@melissajenkins9960 You're absolutely correct. Depression doesn't look any one way. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it isn't. I just can't stand when people IGNORE facts that point toward homicide, simply because the victim experienced depression. There are SO many people in the world that experience depression and don't want to die at all.
I'm glad you're still here. 💛
I never told anyone either.
Just before the 5 minute mark in the video, the dispatcher asks him if she is breathing, to which he responded that he was trying to pick her up and lift her to check. In my opinion he was lying, as the gun would not still be positioned in her hand, it would have fell. Surprised they did not mention this in the video.
Did anyone else notice that in the bodycam the husband's hands were on top of his head exactly like Chris Watts??
Yap
I thought his arms were up because the cops were coming but I rewound it and it was exactly like Chris Watts!!!wow observant!
Yep
Good catch!
Exactly, that’s a none verbal admission of guilt right there.
Thank Thank you for uploading this story. Love this journalist. Exceptional story teller.
It’s almost breathtaking how totally naive Tiffany’s mother was toward her son-in-law…
He was a good actor, wasn't he?
Or maybe she's keeping her mouth shut because she wants to see her grandchildren.
Maybe the mother kept her mouth shut because she Wanted to see her grandchildren? Really!? I would rather see my grandchildren WithOut the presence of my daughters murderer! What would the mother do if her grandkids turned up mysteriously dead…stick by the suspected murderer? Please!😮 and frankly, I’m surprised the mother didn’t want to take custody of her grandchildren rather than leave them with him!
@Theun Knowntxter You honestly don't get what I'm saying...? It's unreal to me how many adults don't have any critical thinking skills. 🙄 Try to stay with me here.
Do you honestly think that he would have allowed her to see his children if she had accused him of being a murderer??? And it's not a matter of her WANTING custody. Do you think she would have been ABLE to get custody of them when he was free? Legally, he was innocent before he was convicted. Yeah, I'm sure he would have gladly just handed them over when she said to him, "You've a murderer, now give me my grandkids."
My God, I can't believe that I have to explain this to an adult...
Likely some sort of coping mechanism. Easy for us looking in to pick her behavior apart. It's also an edited program for TV with its own narrative as well.
I've been watching 48 hrs for days now and one thing I realized if a wife got murdered, I would immediately focus on the husband or insurance
I always find it sad when the children are living with the murderer’s family.
Same. Like, how is that not a conflict of interest for the children’s mental health?

I think it's inappropriate and utterly disgusting that his parents brought those children to their father's sentencing. Talk about messing with the children's mental health.
She didn't want him to find out because " she didn't want to hurt him".
How about not cheating if you don't want to hurt him ?
How about get divorced if you just have to have sex with other people?
How about divorcing your spouse if they cheat on you?
She didn't deserve to be shot-but I agree, divorce before u cheat.

And this guy was a detective? Failure to be able to reason is not a good attribute in any profession

Jason seemed so cold through this entire thing, there was no life in his eyes.

He has those “shark eyes”…so creepy…
He can definitely cut his emotions off when he wants too 😢
Dead sociopath eyes. It’s common in murderers
The man is tired. Ever been tired?
That's grotesque to give custody of the children to the parents of the parent who was convicted of murdering the other parent. Unbelievable.
Yeah, that's stupid because they can't keep the memory of their mom alive like her family could. On the other hand, if I was related to such a case I don't know if I would be able to say anything good about the parent that killed the other and that's also damaging for the children.
For example my father is an narcissistic abusive alcoholic criminal and the only reason he is not in jail is that he works with the police. And every time someone says I look like my father, I don't see it as a compliment.
@@annak8755 Yes I can attest to the hatred of being compared to an abusive parent.
My mother is a psychological and formerly violent abuser and serial adulteress. My dad was no angel either.
Obviously like all abusers my mother has her facade that she puts on for her friends and neighbours but it's so disgusting to me when people think that's she is nice because she basically buys their affection with gifts of items or money.
I can't even describe the anger and hatred.
Remember the mother was the police administration. This should be brought to court again, corruption!
IKR?!
It happens all the time.
The irony about this case is he was cheating with Tiffany, on her first marriage, but he couldn't handle it when it happened TO him. His evasiveness on the 911 call sealed his fate.
His first wife cheated on him, he did not cheat on her!

@@melb1215 That's not what @v t said. Jason was cheating with Tiffany while she was married to her first husband. He couldn't take it when Tiffany was cheating on him with another man, even though he was an adulterer, also.
how old was his son?
@@mensablonde826 hmmm? Sorry, I must have misheard.
I don't think there was enough evidence to convict him another injustice of law. I'm not saying he is innocent but in the eyes of the law he should be. There were too many inconsistencies to paint him 100% guilty
He is guilty as hell, the 911 call is more than enough
I couldn’t believe that Tiffany’s mother Cheryl supported Jason. She kept saying ‘my son in law ‘ and not once did she refer to her daughter . She only attended court once during the trial and when she did , she was on the Stand saying how wonderful Jason was . She never attended court to hear the evidence against the man who possibly murdered her daughter . She fully supported him and his parents. Even when the verdict came through she was sitting behind Jason’s parents . It’s very odd that she never once questioned Jason’s guilt . If the verdict had been ‘ not guilty ‘ she would have readily accepted that her daughter committed suicide . And she even said she didn’t want to jeopardise his Appeal so wouldn’t say anything more to the 48 hour reporter .
Good that she finally spoke out during his sentencing .
I hope she contests Jason’s release in 14 yrs time, though I doubt she will . ( He has 15 yr minimum sentence)
It was disgusting that Jason’s parents brought the children along for sentencing . It was a tactic to garner sympathy for Jason but the judge is used to that! .
They should never have got custody of the children . They won’t keep the children’s mother’s memory alive in a good way . They’ll tell the children that their mother committed suicide and their father is innocent . The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Probably cause the local sherriff's office paid her visits.
100% perfect observation. I agree 100%.
I agree with you 110 percent you are THE ONLY PERDON THAT MAKED THE TRUTH
Is she fancy her son in law?
@@katarzynamariamuszynska2811 "Is she fancy..." grammar?
He’s obviously guilty, not mentioning the affair is a huge tell IMO. He didn’t want to disclose his motive. It’s beyond me why people have affairs instead of just leaving.. you never really know anybody or what they’re capable of
But it's also embarrassing to admit to everyone that you got cheated on, again.
@@ReticulatingSplines_ true. At the initial scene though with the cops, it seems natural to me to explain the reason for the argument we’re talking about. Not bringing it up seems weird
Right at the beginning when he's watching the first responders check his wife, he's standing there with hands on his head looking just like Chris Watts
it wasn't him that was dishonest, it was his wife
@@salobrena6442 the punishment for adultery isn’t death in this country
This was so bizarre in that the mother of this woman totally sided with her killer. She finally realizes she was wrong until she supposedly heard all of the evidence. Very strange lady.
VERY VERY VERY WEIRD LADY.
I am considering that victim’s mom loves her son in law. And perhaps she felt some guilt that her daughter had an affair on her son in law. She had a change of mind after she considered all the evidence.
Really. The victim was in relationship with another guy, but told to her husband “loves him”, shot her self in presence of him, from his side and at least 10 inch distance with the L hand, being R handed….
His face and eyes tell a lot about him, sadistic liar !
That's not what she said it all she said she doesn't know and that nobody wins in this situation because he's got a family to she said she doesn't want to believe that her daughter shot herself but she doesn't want to believe that her son-in-law the father of her grandbabies did it either
I can get it, we are very close to one of our son in laws family. We have share Christmass together, new years, so many differant events, we live close to his family and he totally dotes on my daughter. If he killed her, it would be hard to let it sink in, on top of losing our daughter. I would feel for his family as much as our own. Like she said there are no winners, both families are hurt so deeply... She didn't want to admit to herself nevermind the world, that she lost her child at the hands of a man she loved as a son.... The father of her grandchildren... It was alot to process... The life as she knew it collasped that day.. Noone can blame her for mentally trying to hold on to some of it...or processing it bit by bit...
Never have a smile that lights up the room or be the one who would give everyone the shirt off her back. OR never be the kind of person who brings people together.
The husband seems way too calm in both the 911 call and when the police are talking to him outside his house. He does not seem concerned at all about his wife. He also puts his head down when 48 hours asks if he shot his wife.usually when someone does not look you in the eye they are lying.
There's any more rather than being home is not answering who shot her when the dispatcher kept asking. That's huge.
of course he was lying...all the time/ The reason who was so cold is cos she had been cheating on him, so he felt betrayed, again, so carried anger ...not loving feelings ...
Absolutely regardless of everything else that’s going on
His tone of voice during the 911 call convinced me from the beginning he did it
It was heart breaking to see a mother not upset and seeking justice for her slain daughter, and I figured she was doing that so that she would continue to have access to her grand children. She seemed to mirror her son in law's pragmatic disposition. Then they show her the evidence and she comes out of her stupor and shows the despair of the loss of her daughter and in front of her grandchildren. Jason has a hold on his mother in law.
Or maybe the mother just believes he's innocent?? You have no proof that he's guilty. You're just going off of emotion. Shocking 🥱
Coz she know her daughter 😂 have another man..
Am I the only person who understands why the mother is doing this? She wants a relationship with her grandchildren! He can prevent that just bc, let alone testifying against him. The grandchildren are all she has left of her daughter. I would hope she will change her mind as the children get older, or if her family has custody of the kids.
Cheating is dangerous. I cheated on my first husband w/my second husband. That was 37 years ago and I am still married to my 2nd…. Never cheated again…. It isn’t right. It causes too much pain. But, it was always in the back of my mind that anger, and pain can cause some people to do horrible things.
Money motives are powerful
Her daughter was married to another man when she started an affair with this guy. She was married to this guy & had two children and was in a relationship with another man.
And her current husband was leading a normal life as a single parent prior to meeting her and was perfectly normal thru his marriage with her - no abuse, no cheating . Maybe her Mother found it difficult to empathize with her daughter to accept him as her killer
What bothers me is “Who was there in support of the victim”? I am so thankful that the mom finally saw the light!!
Girl bye, I'm a woman and can plainly see that this gall was hardly a victim if she was not even just a one, but a two time-cheater. Not saying that anyone has the right to take anyone's life, but excuse me if I ain't gonna sit here and cry over someone who stretched the rope in the absolutely reckless way that this person seems to have done. Again, did I hear it correctly that she cheated on him not once but twice?! When people push others to that kind of limit, take them for that wild of an emotional ride, no one can complain then when that rope gets stretched too thin and eventually just breaks. He wasn't exactly the smartest in killing her tho, and in doing so totally allowing for her to destroy his life. He was angry at how he had allowed for her to play him for a fool, that anger blinded him and is what made him pull that trigger. It could have all been avoided if he had simply just left after the first time she cheated. They didn't have children, what made him stay after the first time she cheated?! That's what he was angry at, himself, because he didn't have the self respect to just leave the first time she did it; and because he didn't leave then she did it again, played him for a fool again. That's what killed him. It's time people understand something for once and for all, people will do what they will do, they can try to throw whatever bs they can try to throw at us, it's the way that we respond to it that determines who the fool is.

1. If he met her when she was cheating on her first husband and still married her that's on HIM.

And you’re not her
You don’t know her childhood traumas. Life experience. Beliefs. Grief of losing your daughter. Manipulation he said to her…

I can’t either. She changed her support at the VERY END. Too little too late
What are you talking about?? She testified. Twice.
I have lost count the number of times I threw my hands in the air when listening to Tiffineys mother. The fact that this woman STILL believes that her Jason didnt do this, but also the fact that when she talked about her daughter, she never cried. No real tears.
If you watched until the end youd know that the mom eventually realized he was the killer after seeing the evidence
Traitor !
I am so with you on this!! I was yelling at the tv like I was yelling at Tiffany! I couldn’t believe it!! 😮. My goodness!!! I feel sorry for Tiffany, she needs some counseling I believe. Wonder why the victims dad never spoke up to Tiffany…like this is our daughter that died!!
Maybe the mother knew something about her daughters inner demon because mother knows best.
I dont believe for sec the husband killed her at all.
Love is blind. I can’t tell you how many times I denied I was being cheated on because I was in love….or I apologized for something somebody did and I was in the right. Love makes you do things even the smartest person wouldn’t understand 😭 Thank god I’m not that same little boy anymore ✌🏻
His personality seems to be a very calm reaction to most all situations.
When someone admits to an argument before a significant other goes missing or is killed, then you pretty much know it was them.... I mean this guy found out she had an affair, they were arguing, and then she ended up dead! Shot herself TWICE in the head, plus with her other hand! How could ANYONE believe he didn't do it!?

No blood on the window is damning evidence it was Jason standing outside the van, holding the gun and shooting his wife. Cheryl is an incredibly strong and compassionate woman. I think the grandchildren will be all right as long as she's a big part of their lives.

@@principecaprincipeca2243 the police didn't test him for gun residue, and they didn't search his house for blood/ bloody clothes.
@@goldandbabyfoxfur so there was and is not any physical evidence at all against him.
I am a true crime addict and this is one of the few cases I think they got it wrong.
There just wasn't enough proof. Every "proof" was and is possible to explain away. There isn't any actual proof he did it or that she didn't commit self unaliving.
She was dumped by her lover, her husband had found out about her affair, she was drinking heavily and was about to loose everything.
So what if she had contacted a therapist the precious day. It doesn't mean she wasn't suicd@l, vice versa.
She didn't know the previous day that her husband is going to find out her infidelity. She thought she could just go on with the marriage and spit out her guilty conscience to a therapist, but that wouldn't happen because her husband kicked her out.
She had every reason to unalive herself. There is more proof for her doing it to herself than him doing it.
They convinced him by the way he is, by his character and by his past being cheated before.
And that detective shouting, swearing and lying about the polygraph test was way out of control and inappropriate. He couldn't brake him, so he lost it.
I sure hope they appeal and get his verdict overturned. And if not, that he gets our in 15 years.

She's crying about the whole damn situation. Daughter being dead, son-in-law being responsible and that grandkids now being orphans.

@@Christina_320 nope
@@missingbitz9831 Ok so how do you think he did it then ?
@@Christina_320 Did you not watch the whole video? It's all there. And a jury, who saw more than we did, found him guilty.
As a mom I couldn't IMAGINE behaving like Tiffany's mom. What a traitor.
I think she was terrified of losing any visitation or custody she could have with the grandchildren.
Yhh doesn’t make any sense. How’s a mother soo concerned about her son inlaw than finding the killer of her deceased daughter.
Indeed
I believe it came down to fear, fear of not only losing her daughter but also losing her grandchildren, fear of her grandchildren not only losing their mother but also their father.
It’s easy to call her a “traitor” from the outside looking in but it’s clear that poor women was in absolute turmoil over this. In the end she showed her true strength by standing up for her daughter
Narcissistic mother...couldn't see anything beyond herself her bond with son-in-law was important than her daughter's death
"Do you think Tiffany would say you're a murderer?"
"No, I don't think so"
GUILTY
😂
Exactly, he could have simply said
" Absolutely No". That " I don't think so" is vague
I’m SO mindblown about her mom defending him. This is so wild. FINALLY she speaks for her daughter at the sentencing, but jeeze.
For one highly unlikely thing to occur during a suicide is odd, but not entirely unbelievable. For several highly unlikely things to occur is entirely unbelievable. In this case, the husband expects everyone to believe that...
1) His wife opted to commit suicide via gun, even though women rarely commit suicide that way
...AND...
2) She decided to shoot with her left hand despite being right handed
...AND...
3) Despite being in the driver's seat of her vehicle, she somehow managed to hold and shoot the gun from at least a foot away from her head
...AND...
4) After shooting herself once, she shot herself again (still with her left hand from a foot away) for good measure.
To reiterate, on its own, any of those four aspects of the husband's story is hard to believe.... For all of these extremely rare and unlikely things to occur is impossible to believe.
Might I add, there was no blood on the floor of the car or the door or on the windows? That’s extremely weird
Epic comment, bro!
It's hard to argue with any of that, you nailed it. #4 never happens. If a person failed on the first shot, they most likely won't be alert and aware enough to fire a second. There's shock, fear, confusion (am I dead?) Just the volume inside a car is going to be unbearable.
@@diabolikmitchell2960 100% I agree. If you shot yourself once, there's no chance that you'd immediately realize that it "didn't take" and then decide to do it again.
5. the gun still being in her hand after she died.
I remember a story where a guy tried committing suicide but pulled that gun away at the last moment and shot his chin off I believe. He was so messed up that he was unable to shoot again, he went unconscious and then died from the blood loss. Can’t remember the specifics completely, but there’s no way a small woman can shoot herself twice. I believe she would’ve went unconscious from the pain and shock from the first shot.
There's some crazy videos of people who are still awake and moving after a failed suicide attempt where they blow the entire face off. Pure adrenaline keeping them going

Did they check for gun residue? I cannot believe they didn't check him for gun residue. It's crazy how she would use her nondominent hand holding the gun 10 inches away and shoot herself twice, that doesn't even make sense.
Seems like they didn't want the guy to be investigated, right?
3:00 no blood or GSR mentioned here
I couldn't believe this either or that they didn't bother to search his house for bloody clothes. Shoddy police work almost got the killer off SMH
They sure they didn’t know who his MiL was when they first got there? That could be why nothing was done correctly.
Not to mention that "the first shot in the jaw" would most definitely knock her unconscious. Just think about it. That "medical witness" for defense is full of crap.
I live here in Cullman, close to where they lived. It really rippled through the community. Really glad justice was finally served.
I can't help but to feel like his reaction to her "suicide" was not normal. I would imagine seeing someone you love dying or dead in front of you would at least evoke some type of emotion.
except he had every reason to not love her at that point, if it was suicide, he had every reason to say you deserve this at that point even if he didnt do it, there is just too much doubt in this case and the prosecution should have been made to work harder to get a conviction!
@@Ggag123 - No, he had no reason. She cheated, big deal. Not a death sentence. It showed how angry and remorseless he was because he murdered her.
I hate this kind of argument, to be honest. Everybody's different, and far too many innocent people have been persecuted or convicted from somebody's idea of inappropriate emotional response.. He did not feel right when the cops showed up, but the emotion wasn't the problem. Rather, what he said sounded like he was telling a story, not like he was actually remembering something that had just happened. I've had to talk to the police before about a violent crime that just happened; it just doesn't sound like that. You backtrack, you correct yourself, you add things. You think a lot, trying to make sure you're remembering and retelling it accurately. It's nothing like this. Edit: He used the exact same words to the Dateline person! Totally a memorized story.
This mother, Sheryl, is a trip. Seems to have greater loyalty for her son in law than her own daughter!
I actually spent most of the episode thinking Jason was going to be innocent because he was filmed in the interviews for the show - that's usually a huge give away because it shows the person didn't end up in prison, just like how when they are guilty there are no interviews with them. I thought the episode was really well done in that regard when they zoom out in the end to show them interviewing him from prison.
X2 I saw him I “normal” Clothes and thought the same
Also on the 911 call he said "my wife's been shot" not "she shot herself". Now there's only him and her there, so if it wasn't him, then it could only be her, so he would definitely say "she shot herself". But he said "she's been shot". Like by some fluke there was another person there!
Almost sounded like he hadn’t decided what the story was going to be yet…
The victim's mom is unbelievable, who acts like that? I wouldn't be able to sleep, let alone avoid asking questions about the investigation.
Totally disloyal to her late most likely murdered daughter 😢
That went massively in his favour.
My mother would accuse the pope and the King if they were with me the night I was shot twice.
Exactly!!!
it made no sense to me how clean the car door was, after supposedly two shots fired at her head inches away from it. I was also surprised they didn't do any luminol testing, no gunshot residue testing.... but those jurors were so smart figuring out that discrepancy in the end.
This is the first time I have ever commented on a public forum. I also don't want to judge, but this mother is either the most stoical woman or the least interested in getting justice for her daughter. If she had questioned sooner, with more vigour, this result would have come much sooner. I don't recall her saying she thought her daughter was suicidal. I would move heaven and earth to find out the truth had this been one of my girls. Rest easy, Tiffiney. Rest easy, mum, too, I hope.
u can see she loved her son in law , like a son and didnt want to think he killled her daughter....she may even have loved him more than she loved her daughter...who knows
@@IwasBlueb4 apparently she did. Maybe she had the hots for him.
Or, she feels great shame that she raised a cheating daughter.
Everyone processes extreme grief differently. When it's your child, the trauma and shock can last for years and years. Not willing to believe your son in law could have done this does not indicate she loves him more. The Mom still seems to me to be in shock.
@@IwasBlueb4 Or maybe she thought her daughter deserved it for cheating on her beloved son-in-law. Who knows.
It was amazing to see the mom’s change in demeanor when she learned the truth. Why are the kids living with the monster’s parents.
peer pressure
This is a horrible case. I believe Jason for sure killed his wife and his parents especially his mom helped get rid of some evidence by the help of her police coworkers and that is why this case took so many years to be solved. Also I bet that Jason will get out of prison in 15 years with the help of his mom pulling some strings. His parents should have never been allowed to get the custody of her kids. Total injustice in this case😢
Dang. You just made up a whole lot of stuff and got the case solved for good, huh
Exactly, this needs to be escalate, involve FBI, Internal Affairs. Polygraph and question all potentially involved in cover up and evidence tampering and remove them from law enforcement
If one doesn't know much they have to believe a lot.
with a mother like that you don't need enemies.
