@@mkayokay3192 Also, once these cases are deemed "closed," it can be so difficult to get anything done - even if it's blatantly obvious - it's just so hard to turn those wheels.

@@loretta_3843 great point! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a suicide done in this manner. I’m sure somewhere somehow- but it’s definitely extremely uncommon. Why would the police find this evidence and think…”suicide!” ?? I think they just didn’t want to be bothered with an investigation, paperwork, and all that goes into that kind of thing
When my friend had a seizure, she fell between the bed and dresser and parished there from brain bleeding. Her baby crawled to her and sat with her dead body for over 30 hours with no food, water, or a changed diaper. We felt like something was a miss because nobody heard from her and she didn't show up to parent and baby drop-in night. My best friend went over and asked the landlord to open the door as she wasn't answering, but they could hear the baby crying. The maintenance man and landlord stood back and physically pushed my best friends in. People can be really disgusting in the face of death. They clearly knew, yet didn't even bother to call 911 before they shoved Pam in that door.

You have to be some kind of evil to let your son find his mother dead like that. The lifetime scar he just put on the child is insane!! I’m so glad the mother kept fighting for her daughter. It’s disgusting how the police didn’t do more to solve her case.
The fact that April's mother had to fight so hard to reopen the case and seek justice is both inspiring and troubling. Shouldn't the system be more proactive in cases of domestic violence, or does it require this kind of public pressure to get results?
Well, there has to actually be signs & history of domestic violence for them to consider it a "case of domestic violence". A couple of random bruises isn't proof of sh*t- many folks, especially those with kids, have bruises right this second & have never been involved in domestic violence. And they had no real history of it. So why do you think they would automatically treat it as a DV case? Simply arguing with someone isn't DV- disagreements are a completely normal part of relationships. The legal system doesn't operate on how you "feel" about something, it operates based on evidence and if there's none there of a crime then no, they aren't going to continue to investigate. My guess is that the bruises mentioned on her neck were obviously not what is generally seen in cases of strangulation because if that were the case, they'd have no problem going after the person who was literally in the room with her in that short time period that morning. They do it all the time, including times when the person actually hasn't done anything, at the least sign of foul play. This could easily happen if she died relatively quickly from strangulation- it can take people up to 10 minutes to actually strangle someone to death. But if it happens in a much shorter time period and they die and their heart stops, the bruising will be minimal instead of the obvious bruises from strangulation- shaped like fingers/hands, in specific places, etc. And the fact that she had other bruises to places that would have nothing to do with her death indicates she may have just been involved in some activity recently that caused bruising so the few that did appear may be concluded to be part of that.
@kenw2225 nope. Statistics show that black men are the most arrested but least prosecuted and also most exonerated. Given how they bungle the case, and average lawyer could rip it to shreds, a good lawyer could get him paid.
Race seems like a factor when she couldn't find help but maybe these police agencies are so inundated with cases they have to be choosy with the cases they put their limited resources behind. Was that a run on sentence? I feel like it was.
@@Nopi9 ....... Excuse me ----- Proof?? You know nothing about their relationship except for what April told us in her videos and she Never mentioned ABUSE! Her mother did nothing but try to Protect her daughter from this evil world, people like her spouse and like yall!!
A Christian family. Very sad story. Condolences to her family. Where would a man pawn his marriage ring. Whomever God joined together, in matrimony no one should put asunder. Rest her soul.
You said a mouthful!! I’ve never seen so many foolish “couples” sharing the most weird, cringy, stupid, stuff on the internet in my life. Just bizarre. I don’t want to be like any of these couples. A relationship is sacred and it should be protected. But it’s good this was exposed because this guy… whew.😭
Agree. At least he confessed. I’m guessing they’ll charge him with second degree murder. Will say it was a heat of passion thing. Maybe he cops a plea and he gets manslaughter. Maybe does 15-20 years.
He did it on purpose he wanted to hurt him mentally. I pray her Son is healthy body mind and soul… esp mentally!!!!! The devils is a liar. I pray her son’s mental state is strong, spiritually sound and gives him peace beyond understanding in Jesus name AMEN.
I feel he had little choice, his prints were disclosed on the repoprt and she told him so. No confession, was going to be a matter of time before law enforcement came for him.
Several years ago here in NYC, Queens, precisely an Indian 🇮🇳 man had been abusing his wife. One day, she got the courage to have him arrested. When he was released, he returned to the home (outside) he claimed he wanted to see his kids. They only watched him from the window as he lit himself on fire while they watched. This was all because of his anger at the wife who got tired of being abused. So he decided to traumatize his kids for life.
Him saying at 10:40 “I will never lose her forever” is very eerie now knowing the truth. I applaud the mother for staying strong and kept fighting for her daughter murder case.
Beyond toxic that 10:40 to 11:00 was gross 🤮 it’s like I only married her because she is bi racial and beautiful and age think it’s cute They BOTH toxic
That was probably what haunted him and made him confess. The fact that he killed her body but not her soul. Her kindness and her last moments haunted him I believe. You can’t just take a life and forget about what you did.
and this was super important in order to regain custody of Denzel so he can grow up with his sister in grandma's stable home. They need each other more than ever.
This is why you end it completely and never look back after divorce or breakup the spouse will always feel some kind of way and will harm you. Kids don't deserve an absent parent but they don't deserve an abusive one either. Better safe than sorry!!! R.I.P to April
Cannot wrap my head around this one. This being a murder couldn't have been more obvious. What kind of law enforcement was it, that couldn't see that. Unbelievable!
Yeah I'd like to hear more about how they bungled this case, than April's super awesome successful life as an entrepreneurial positive influencer who had more financial and relationship troubles than the average Jerry Springer guest.
The amount of trauma he caused by sending his 7-year-old son to check on his mother is saddening 😢😢… glad the case was reopened!! Rest in Peace beautiful lady 💔💔my condolences to your mom and children
❤ YES, SO GRATEFUL THAT MOM JAMIE KEPT FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE IN APRIL'S MURDER! SHE IS SO STRONG, SHE DID THIS FOR HER GRANDCHILDREN TOO! NOW THEY CAN HEAL HOPEFULLY. BLESS THEM ALL 🥰🙏🏼❤️
😮He was always a fake human being and pathetic. This poor baby just couldn't see thru this perp. When will people get it thru their thick skulls that noone one is chattel or a personal possession of anyone's. What a narcissistic mentality people like this guy have😮 Life without parole is too good for this demon.
What a strong momma and brave grandson. I’m so happy you stuck this out and the truth is finally out. Even when no one heard you, you kept going, because a mother knows her child. I’m so sorry this young boy was sent into that bathroom to find his mom, and I agree the charges need to be increased. We stand with you!!
He sends his 7 YEAR OLD son in to "check" on his mother, knowing he's going to find her unconscious with a plastic bag over her head?! That's monstrous.
He actually tried to get away from living HER DREAM. It is ALL BAD. He has and has mental health problems nobody wants to ADMIT. All these reality shows and media play a huge part in these lives. Look at the CONSEQUENCES of LIVING IN THE WRONG LIGHT, PRETENDING ALL IS WELL FOR THE "LIKES" & FOLLOWERS. OUT OF HAND all of it.
@@KimPhoenixRising He is out of excuses. Now he suffers consequences due to HIS own choice and Justice served. Sending lots of Love to her family. ♥️🙏♥️
I agree. Calling these people "influencers" is disturbing. They have no education of expertise, they're average people being paid to push products and falsehoods about life. I am not shocked by any of the tradgedies or crimes that occur. Social media is one large bathroom wall. Some poetry but the majority is lies and garbage. This young beautiful woman would be alive without social media.
God it’s so sad and scary that her mom had to fight so hard to even get her case re-opened. I pray that all of us have someone watching over us like her mom cares for her
Something about posting your whole life on social media doesn’t sit right with me, also that part when they were talking about divorce and laughing about it SUPER WEIRD 😢
These types of couples are trying to convince the world that they're happy. The relationship in reality is a whole mess but they have to put on a front for the world
This monster was the most evil he could be to let his beautiful innocent child find his mother, knowing what he would see! Just heartbreaking to be so selfish! Love does not hurt. He never loved her or their children. I admire her mother for fighting with all her might to reveal the dark to the light. My sincerest condolences ❤️🙏🏾🕊️
She did their job for them. She literally read the report and found out only his prints were on the bag and tape. Furthermore, extracted a recorded confession. She should receive their paychecks.
I am seeing a lot of these tiktok/IG/youtube cases of influencers either getting murdered or self-exiting. Part of the problem is people like to present a false rosy perspective of their life online which is very different from their actual life. Manifesting positivity doesn't work when you are ignoring red flags and constantly revisiting unhealthy relationships. Her last day reflects this in how she had a peaceful morning drinking coffee and journaling, only to then engage with the negativity in her life, her husband, and it led to her death. I think she tried to make it work with Donovan for far too long, not just for the sake of her kids, but because she felt she had to due to her online persona largely involving him. Jamie is an amazing powerhouse momma in her mission to get justice for her daughter and I hope she succeeds in getting Donovan put behind bars for life. RIP April.
I try to warn people about manifesting. I've had a family member and a couple of friends have horrible things happen to them. Please don't be fooled but what people post online. Don't do it!
I also worry that her Christian beliefs convinced her to go down the forgiveness and go back to him path. Doesn’t matter how positive and well meaning you are, you’ve got to be wise and worldly about red flags and your safety.
Maybe she just did it for the likes and monetary gain of the channel. That sort of marriage drama online brings in the numbers. Though for the life of me I can’t think why.
She was beauty and he was the beast. You could tell he was jealous of her. She deserved so much better. I’m sickened that he let the son go find his mother. Who suffocates themselves, that should have been #1 clue that something wasn’t right.
These pretty sisters just looove these ugly brothers. I guess they don't want to compete with their partners for looks. And how these ugly brothers cheat, abuse and eventually kill these pretty sisters as if to prove a point. Bey/Sean?
No it is not. Men not holding each other accountable. #social media did not do it. Social media is exposing lives. How many ppl are dying that are not on social media? 😂😂😂
I’m so glad the mom never gave up and I’m so glad you covered this case because the first time I heard this case, it wasn’t considered a murder, it had been closed and the husband had gotten away with it. Detectives completely disregarded what her son saw when her looked under the door the 2nd time.
God is good all the time “ let him sit in his shit and never get out of hell” and let your son know. How sick are you!!👍😀. Great job Mom took your beautiful daughter 0 🙏
10:20 I've never seen a couple so happy to announce a divorce. It seems disingenuous. It's ok to say,"we're getting a divorce and have unreconcilable differences that make us incompatible."
Couldn't agree more and did you catch his little comments about him never losing her forever? That man never had any intention of letting her go and we tend to look at these comments as cute instead seeing them as the red flags they are. I wish she saw them before it was too late and got out of there. RIP to this beautiful soul 🙏
She stayed with a man with a face only a mother could love, probably because of their friendship and their son. The most dangerous time is when the woman tries to leave or divorce. He knew he wouldn't get someone as beautiful as her. Every day he woke up shocked. He look like he was on the DL.
The medical examiner initially got it wrong, too, and didn't change the info till new evidence was brought to light, so I wouldn't be patting him or her on the back for this one.
What are you saying 😂 literally the first line of defence and he failed miserably. Ruled suicide because of his original findings and case closed. Didn’t even document or raise issue of other marks on her body. I was thinking he/she should be fired.
April holtz mother was amazing. She is the overriding reason this horrible misjustice was brought to light. God bless you ma'am what an example of a mother
I agree 💯 but I think that police department was a bunch of idiots How can you find a young woman with a bag over her head and just assumed it's not a person that was Marked she should sue
This is so tragic. Its important that when we look at social media that we dont envy the lives of others..we dont truly know whats going on behind closed doors. RIP Beautiful
You’re absolutely right, my husband isn’t the romantic kind of husband but faithful and stay home, every time I make references on how other men treat their wife with lots of affection or taking them out on dates etc , he look me in the eye and say “ do I live with those people, do I know what gos on in their house and that i should I appreciate what we have and not look what couples put on social media, it’s all fake!!!
Unfortunately people do I see grown women over 40 at their big age idolizing these content creators I only follow people I know and one or two positive quote pages all that extra toxic “we are perfect couples” I don’t follow like the MrsWeeks (black fitness couple out of Atlanta indirectly just showing off their fancy cars and big houses) I see between the lines I don’t say anything because if you do you are a hater.. oh and fake Lateiece Gardner and her husband Rodney then she gets on her bandwagon how she is blacker than black women 🤮 I block those explorer pages
@missfit you need to get off social media comparing your husband to these clowns on social media because it sounds you are getting caught up in the matrix..I don’t believe none of it so I would never disrespect my fiancé by telling him any BS I see on social media.. you need to invest your time following women or God who is not spewing nonsense instead they are have conversations with women about how to make your marriage healthy .. Rebecca Pope is one also Pastor RC Blake’s and Tony Gaskins Adrienne Everheart they are real deal people who can help you and your husband not those goofies on social media trying to make people “want to be them”
If one is envying someone online and their marriage, that’s weird asf. Just like the pic and keep it moving. Not all happy couples are actually miserable and faking it for social media.
One the absolute best true crime channels out here. Well thought out and put together cases, presented with compassion and immense consideration for the victim and their loved ones. Much heartfelt condolence to April's family, especially her dear mother; who's unyielding love for her daughter knew no bounds in her fight for justice.🙏💕
How toxic their relationship and the new age garbage they were selling to their audience was. Living all their ups and downs, drama etc, in front of social media.
Yes i was thinking that. I didn’t think it was a common form of suicided, but i don’t know. You’d think the obvious would be to take finger prints to give a clear answer, but then they ignored that evidence.
I know April smiling down on her mama and so happy she didn’t give up on her and fought for justice! Praying for the mother and her children to prevail and live a prosperous and happy life ❤
Let’s don’t go overboard on this. The dead daughter is not seeing anything she is dead. Once dead you see nothing know nothing. The only place I guess you people can get those types of things is just not knowing the Bible. Please read it so you will not say things to make yourself sound stupid because I’m sure you are not stupid just ignorant on what the Bible says but you don’t have to stay that way.
Talking about the mom that wouldn't let her be around her black family for more than an hour? The mom that kept her isolated? Nawwwww B, the "MUM" may be the reason she chose the wrong Ninja.
@reneerobinson9752 you bitter as hell ! Some of these white women be racist asf sometimes and want to pass that hate down to their biracial kids ! I don't blame for wanting to be apart of her black family ! Mom was just being hateful !
RIP April, my heart goes out to your children and real family. Your mum got you justice, such a strong woman. I hope your children grow to have happy and productive lives.
I knew as soon as it was revealed that Donovan had asked their son to check on April in the bathroom that he had murdered her because that was him trying to remove himself from the whole situation as much as possible, preferring for their young son to find her in that condition - and that's absolutely disgraceful in itself.R.I.P beautiful lady.
I’ve been wondering about this tragic case. Absolutely sad and heartbreaking that this beautiful young woman hasn’t gotten the justice she deserves. With all this evidence it shouldn’t have taken her mom to fight so hard but Thank goodness she did. Thanks for the update! 🌸
I live in Nashville, and the mother is right, local news would not help her, didn't even air her death on the news, and we have a very crooked DA here. If not for Cold case Det.Mike Roland, I don't think it would have been solved, he's one of the best.
The apartment should have been treated as a crime scene due to the manner of death. I wonder what the husband was doing when he went back there unsupervised?.
Her husband was broke.. i think he was depending on April for his finances and April leaving him would leave him exposed with zero finances!! So April determined to leave him was a NO NO NO for him!! He was living in her shadow and must have resented her deep down! Am very sorry for mum Jamie. Am glad the case was reopened and justice took it's cause 🙏
Jamie is a fighter. Her daughter lost her life in such an unfair way. Those tik tok videos of Donovan and April as a couple were kind uncomfortable to watch, only because they felt like “made for social media” content and not revealing what was really going on when the cam was turned off
I have never said my husband was my friend we have been married 34 yrs and together 41 years .The way they kept saying we were friends first before the marriage and kid a friend would NEVER KILL YOU !!
I’m seeing allot of people say that in this comment section and I feel like allot of your are projecting your own trauma or opinions onto something so simple. Like it’s really so crazy some couples get along so well that they’re best friends?
The positivity movement, while well meaning isn’t real. Can you manifest “success” in your life, yes. I did through sheer will, lost everything, came back again. Life can be like that, up and down , death and life , not perfection. I am not a big fan of “selling” your life online, that’s me. When you do kill your self or get murdered, all previous thoughts are gone. RIP to the beautiful mother and hope her kids survive the ordeal.
Agree. Ive always thought most of these influencer types of video are just “oooo, look at me” videos. What convinces me is how they all want to look like each other as they pose and gaze lovingly upon themselves. Honestly, I still wonder why anyone cares about some of the things I swipe past. Then I look at the number of followers they have 🤨 I guess because I’m mature enough and secure enough to have lived a life not caring what anyone thought of me and not looking for approval.
You know how many people were probably dismissive and thought this mom was crazy?! In my own experience, it's nice to finally be vindicated and for the truth to come out. It's not easy when it feels like no one is on your side or believes you and they're times when you might start to question yourself.
Sending love and prayers to you for being the best mom ever. Although you were grieving, you still continued to fight for justice for your daughter. May God bless those children, as well, and send them peace.
She never truly was head over heels for him,they have child together,he was obsessed and hung on for dear life using any means ...she could never keep him in the friend lane where he belonged and this happened(just my outsiders opinion) Mom is amazing ,God bless

"Do more"? It appears they didn't do anything, period. Fingerprints would be the first thing they should have been looking at.
Cowardly as well
frakking monster, I am so glad, that the children are with the grandmother
Yes, lazy police. 🤬
He Had No Shame To Let A Child See His Mother 😮HEARTLESS ASS 👿LADY'S Sometimes You Just Got To Know When To Walk Away
The fact that April's mother had to fight so hard to reopen the case and seek justice is both inspiring and troubling. Shouldn't the system be more proactive in cases of domestic violence, or does it require this kind of public pressure to get results?
I'm going to be honest with you. Black and indengenous women tend to be massively overlooked. There is a huge bias against any non white victim.
Well the perp was non yt. They don't like to bring charges against guys like him.
Well, there has to actually be signs & history of domestic violence for them to consider it a "case of domestic violence". A couple of random bruises isn't proof of sh*t- many folks, especially those with kids, have bruises right this second & have never been involved in domestic violence. And they had no real history of it. So why do you think they would automatically treat it as a DV case? Simply arguing with someone isn't DV- disagreements are a completely normal part of relationships. The legal system doesn't operate on how you "feel" about something, it operates based on evidence and if there's none there of a crime then no, they aren't going to continue to investigate.
My guess is that the bruises mentioned on her neck were obviously not what is generally seen in cases of strangulation because if that were the case, they'd have no problem going after the person who was literally in the room with her in that short time period that morning. They do it all the time, including times when the person actually hasn't done anything, at the least sign of foul play. This could easily happen if she died relatively quickly from strangulation- it can take people up to 10 minutes to actually strangle someone to death. But if it happens in a much shorter time period and they die and their heart stops, the bruising will be minimal instead of the obvious bruises from strangulation- shaped like fingers/hands, in specific places, etc. And the fact that she had other bruises to places that would have nothing to do with her death indicates she may have just been involved in some activity recently that caused bruising so the few that did appear may be concluded to be part of that.
@kenw2225 nope. Statistics show that black men are the most arrested but least prosecuted and also most exonerated. Given how they bungle the case, and average lawyer could rip it to shreds, a good lawyer could get him paid.
Race seems like a factor when she couldn't find help but maybe these police agencies are so inundated with cases they have to be choosy with the cases they put their limited resources behind. Was that a run on sentence? I feel like it was.
A mother’s love is eternal and fierce. God bless this woman.
She should have loved her enough to keep away the trash. She was clearly out of his league. Y’all need to wake up not all men are created equal.

Right????
You said a mouthful!! I’ve never seen so many foolish “couples” sharing the most weird, cringy, stupid, stuff on the internet in my life. Just bizarre. I don’t want to be like any of these couples. A relationship is sacred and it should be protected. But it’s good this was exposed because this guy… whew.😭

Facts.
He was probably abusing her
Still have never spent a single second on TikTok and everytime i see clips like this of it im more and more proud of this fact
It’s the same thing on RUclips 🤷🏾
Me either I hope they really cancel is Jan 19th
Tik tok is pure garbage.
At least he confessed. But to let his son walk in on his mother's lifeless body was unforgivable.
Agree. At least he confessed. I’m guessing they’ll charge him with second degree murder. Will say it was a heat of passion thing. Maybe he cops a plea and he gets manslaughter. Maybe does 15-20 years.
He did it on purpose he wanted to hurt him mentally. I pray her Son is healthy body mind and soul… esp mentally!!!!! The devils is a liar. I pray her son’s mental state is strong, spiritually sound and gives him peace beyond understanding in Jesus name AMEN.
I feel he had little choice, his prints were disclosed on the repoprt and she told him so. No confession, was going to be a matter of time before law enforcement came for him.
At least he confessed is the compassion they allll expect 🥹
Several years ago here in NYC, Queens, precisely an Indian 🇮🇳 man had been abusing his wife. One day, she got the courage to have him arrested. When he was released, he returned to the home (outside) he claimed he wanted to see his kids. They only watched him from the window as he lit himself on fire while they watched. This was all because of his anger at the wife who got tired of being abused. So he decided to traumatize his kids for life.
Him saying at 10:40 “I will never lose her forever” is very eerie now knowing the truth. I applaud the mother for staying strong and kept fighting for her daughter murder case.
That was the one!
Smh wouldn’t hurt something you love 🤦🏽♂️
Beyond toxic that 10:40 to 11:00 was gross 🤮 it’s like I only married her because she is bi racial and beautiful and age think it’s cute They BOTH toxic
That was probably what haunted him and made him confess. The fact that he killed her body but not her soul. Her kindness and her last moments haunted him I believe. You can’t just take a life and forget about what you did.
Yup
I'm so proud of mama for not giving up. It's wonderful that she got justice for her daughter. ❤
and this was super important in order to regain custody of Denzel so he can grow up with his sister in grandma's stable home. They need each other more than ever.
YES❤
her mom should've told her to find a nice white man. Or maybe her daddy should've. oh wait...
No justice yet it isn't listed as first degree smh
This is why you end it completely and never look back after divorce or breakup the spouse will always feel some kind of way and will harm you. Kids don't deserve an absent parent but they don't deserve an abusive one either. Better safe than sorry!!! R.I.P to April
That’s not true. Everybody isn’t a killer or an abuser.
Cannot wrap my head around this one. This being a murder couldn't have been more obvious. What kind of law enforcement was it, that couldn't see that. Unbelievable!
Lazy ass ones probably, sorry.
Yeah I'd like to hear more about how they bungled this case, than April's super awesome successful life as an entrepreneurial positive influencer who had more financial and relationship troubles than the average Jerry Springer guest.

I’m so sorry this young boy was sent into that bathroom to find his mom, and I agree the charges need to be increased. We stand with you!!
Bravo to April's mom!! Tenacious and non-stop pushing for justice to get the murderer behind bars. Mom is amazing.
He sends his 7 YEAR OLD son in to "check" on his mother, knowing he's going to find her unconscious with a plastic bag over her head?! That's monstrous.

I love social media. People can lie about how "perfect" their lives are 24/7 on here.

I agree. Calling these people "influencers" is disturbing. They have no education of expertise, they're average people being paid to push products and falsehoods about life. I am not shocked by any of the tradgedies or crimes that occur. Social media is one large bathroom wall. Some poetry but the majority is lies and garbage.

@@ADonis295💯 so true
@@ADonis295She should sue them
I am seeing a lot of these tiktok/IG/youtube cases of influencers either getting murdered or self-exiting. Part of the problem is people like to present a false rosy perspective of their life online which is very different from their actual life. Manifesting positivity doesn't work when you are ignoring red flags and constantly revisiting unhealthy relationships. Her last day reflects this in how she had a peaceful morning drinking coffee and journaling, only to then engage with the negativity in her life, her husband, and it led to her death. I think she tried to make it work with Donovan for far too long, not just for the sake of her kids, but because she felt she had to due to her online persona largely involving him. Jamie is an amazing powerhouse momma in her mission to get justice for her daughter and I hope she succeeds in getting Donovan put behind bars for life. RIP April.
I try to warn people about manifesting. I've had a family member and a couple of friends have horrible things happen to them. Please don't be fooled but what people post online. Don't do it!
I also worry that her Christian beliefs convinced her to go down the forgiveness and go back to him path. Doesn’t matter how positive and well meaning you are, you’ve got to be wise and worldly about red flags and your safety.
Maybe she just did it for the likes and monetary gain of the channel. That sort of marriage drama online brings in the numbers. Though for the life of me I can’t think why.
And so many use this toxic paradigm to their detriment, it is okay to remove negative energy and be self protective
@@Matilda-yit looks like she was into new age , not Christian.
She was beauty and he was the beast. You could tell he was jealous of her. She deserved so much better. I’m sickened that he let the son go find his mother. Who suffocates themselves, that should have been #1 clue that something wasn’t right.
These pretty sisters just looove these ugly brothers. I guess they don't want to compete with their partners for looks. And how these ugly brothers cheat, abuse and eventually kill these pretty sisters as if to prove a point. Bey/Sean?
To send your son to find his mum's body knowing she was dead,he's got to see that for the rest of his life.😢
Awful😢

Couldn't agree more and did you catch his little comments about him never losing her forever? That man never had any intention of letting her go and we tend to look at these comments as cute instead seeing them as the red flags they are. I wish she saw them before it was too late and got out of there. RIP to this beautiful soul 🙏
This is exactly what I was thinking
I commend this mother for never giving up on her fight for justice.
She stayed with a man with a face only a mother could love, probably because of their friendship and their son. The most dangerous time is when the woman tries to leave or divorce. He knew he wouldn't get someone as beautiful as her. Every day he woke up shocked. He look like he was on the DL.

I hope the mom sues the state and county for the mishandling of this case. Cheers to the autopsy doctor for accurate documentation 🎉
The medical examiner initially got it wrong, too, and didn't change the info till new evidence was brought to light, so I wouldn't be patting him or her on the back for this one.
What are you saying 😂 literally the first line of defence and he failed miserably. Ruled suicide because of his original findings and case closed. Didn’t even document or raise issue of other marks on her body. I was thinking he/she should be fired.
April holtz mother was amazing. She is the overriding reason this horrible misjustice was brought to light. God bless you ma'am what an example of a mother

This is so tragic. Its important that when we look at social media that we dont envy the lives of others..we dont truly know whats going on behind closed doors. RIP Beautiful

You’re absolutely right, my husband isn’t the romantic kind of husband but faithful and stay home, every time I make references on how other men treat their wife with lots of affection or taking them out on dates etc , he look me in the eye and say “ do I live with those people, do I know what gos on in their house and that i should I appreciate what we have and not look what couples put on social media, it’s all fake!!!
Unfortunately people do I see grown women over 40 at their big age idolizing these content creators I only follow people I know and one or two positive quote pages all that extra toxic “we are perfect couples” I don’t follow like the MrsWeeks (black fitness couple out of Atlanta indirectly just showing off their fancy cars and big houses) I see between the lines I don’t say anything because if you do you are a hater.. oh and fake Lateiece Gardner and her husband Rodney then she gets on her bandwagon how she is blacker than black women 🤮 I block those explorer pages
@missfit you need to get off social media comparing your husband to these clowns on social media because it sounds you are getting caught up in the matrix..I don’t believe none of it so I would never disrespect my fiancé by telling him any BS I see on social media.. you need to invest your time following women or God who is not spewing nonsense instead they are have conversations with women about how to make your marriage healthy .. Rebecca Pope is one also Pastor RC Blake’s and Tony Gaskins Adrienne Everheart they are real deal people who can help you and your husband not those goofies on social media trying to make people “want to be them”
If one is envying someone online and their marriage, that’s weird asf. Just like the pic and keep it moving. Not all happy couples are actually miserable and faking it for social media.

The apartment should have been treated as a crime scene due to the manner of death. I wonder what the husband was doing when he went back there unsupervised?.
Isn’t the first suspect always the spouse? It’s weird that they ruled him out immediately.
God bless this mother for having the stamina to fight for her daughter under the most stressful circumstances imaginable 😢
That's a real mother and he's an absolute monster. Sending your kid to go find his dead mom is a special kind of evil.
Her husband was broke.. i think he was depending on April for his finances and April leaving him would leave him exposed with zero finances!! So April determined to leave him was a NO NO NO for him!! He was living in her shadow and must have resented her deep down! Am very sorry for mum Jamie. Am glad the case was reopened and justice took it's cause 🙏
Jamie is a fighter. Her daughter lost her life in such an unfair way. Those tik tok videos of Donovan and April as a couple were kind uncomfortable to watch, only because they felt like “made for social media” content and not revealing what was really going on when the cam was turned off

The positivity movement, while well meaning isn’t real. Can you manifest “success” in your life, yes. I did through sheer will, lost everything, came back again. Life can be like that, up and down , death and life , not perfection. I am not a big fan of “selling” your life online, that’s me. When you do kill your self or get murdered, all previous thoughts are gone. RIP to the beautiful mother and hope her kids survive the ordeal.
Agree. Ive always thought most of these influencer types of video are just “oooo, look at me” videos. What convinces me is how they all want to look like each other as they pose and gaze lovingly upon themselves.
Honestly, I still wonder why anyone cares about some of the things I swipe past. Then I look at the number of followers they have 🤨
I guess because I’m mature enough and secure enough to have lived a life not caring what anyone thought of me and not looking for approval.
Exactly , same here.@@lindasimons691
Exactly. Living your life online as if you're some famous actor isn't the way to go. Sad case but not surprised it ended badly.
Same goes for the new age movement. Filled with lies, deceit and EGO all in the name of "love n light"
Narcissistic behavior for sure. It baffles me. One because they have followers and two because, who cares?
You know how many people were probably dismissive and thought this mom was crazy?! In my own experience, it's nice to finally be vindicated and for the truth to come out. It's not easy when it feels like no one is on your side or believes you and they're times when you might start to question yourself.
Sending love and prayers to you for being the best mom ever. Although you were grieving, you still continued to fight for justice for your daughter. May God bless those children, as well, and send them peace.
And she BELIEVED her daughter. Not some monstrous piece of dreck just because he's male. RIP April 🤍🕊️
Smiling, laughing through all that real pain, divorce talk while dancing, laughing its all weird, positive self therapy i guess. Rip just sad😢
Why did they get divorced?
She never truly was head over heels for him,they have child together,he was obsessed and hung on for dear life using any means ...she could never keep him in the friend lane where he belonged and this happened(just my outsiders opinion) Mom is amazing ,God bless
