I was not an exception to the rule, I married after 6 weeks and suffered a 7 year long abusive relationship. I finally left with nothing but couldn't be happier! And safe most of all!!
1) he left in a CANOE in the DARK in a FOREIGN area 2) he BROUGHT his PASSPORT 3) he admitted to fighting with her 4) he was the last person to see her alive 5) he had FRESH WOUNDS I would really love to know if he had a life insurance policy on her as well
When someone tells me that they are getting married after only a very short courtship and engagement, I always say that if this is forever, why the rush. You have all your lives to spend together, enjoy each phase instead of rushing through this.
there is absolutely no rush... there's no law you have to get married, right? But I think people get caught up in the romance and the instant connection that they confuse with the greatest love they have ever known.
Also as someone who comes from a very religious background my family members get married as soon as they can so they can start having babies. Just something they do. Also their engagements don’t even last a year. Usually engaged for 6-8 months before their wedding. Idk weird to be but whatever
Imo love and lust often are interchangeable words for what people are feeling in this day and age. Everyone is in a rush, and people are not taking the time to find out the difference.
Stephanie: he was married once before… Me: Hm okay divorce is common Stephanie: in 2019 and was officially divorced a month before remarrying Me: nope nope nope 🚩🚩🚩🚩
I think it's kinda normal as far as I seen while I was dating my Hmong gf we were together for 13 years she was still married to her ex husband in paper for them they kinda get divorce through their culture where both.families come sit first they try and see if they can make it work if not than both families elders agree they r now divorce bcz I heard getting married is easy but process of getting divorce isnt as easy as getting .married . It. Ever bothered me for me it was just a piece of paper so she never really went through the process I'm sure she's still married to him in papers but I think they do notify authorities they r separated
@ Trixie: Thank you for sharing this information in your post. I had deduced she was an Rph & felt her death was such a tragic loss of a young promising life as well as feeling the loss of a highly educated professional that's very much in need. But now to hear the human side my heart breaks 💔 all the more about this senseless tragedy. My condolences to you, her customers and her family and friends.
Hi! I am one of your follower and this peeked my interest since I am from Fiji born and raised, now living in the USA. Yes I agree Turtle Island resort is luxury. From my experience we don’t have funeral homes in Fiji. When someone passed bodies are stored in mortuaries like a cooler where families can pick them up for burial. I’m not familiar about the embalming process and I’ve never heard about it back at home. I do agree that I wished her family wasn’t misled about bringing her body back to the US for a second autopsy and opinion. Fiji is not as advanced when it comes to technology but the natives are very friendly 🥰 I’m so sorry about this beautiful woman’s loss and hope that justice will be served. As always thank you 🙏 Stephanie.
My wife and I got married quick but I agree. Our marriage was tested five or six years in, and ten years in, we're the strongest we've ever been, far more in love than we were initially.
That's amazing! It's definitely not easy many people don't make it. Everyone thinks my relationship is amazing but it's definitely not perfect. That's when you know the love is real when both people are communicating for their love even when it's hard and not stepping out making excuses for cheating
All marriages are tested no matter how long you been with that person if you live on planet earth. Even if you never get married life will challenge you.
My husband and I dated just over a year and engaged for 3 months. Would've done it a lot sooner, but needed him to have a better job before we could live together (we don't do the cohabitation before marriage thing). We're about to hit 10 years. Life has been very rough for us, but out marriage is a rock.
I married the first guy that I dated.i poured everything into that relationship. I now know that I also projected a lot too. You can decide you know everything about someone but you're really just seeing them through rose colored glasses. Having kids also changes the whole dynamic of a relationship and you find out if you have a helpmate or another (grown) child to take care of.
The Daily Mail said Chen’s parents paid for the honeymoon. Bradley was running no doubt you don't take your passport and get in a kayak. He may not have planned it but he killed her. He took a walk or kayak, with his passport how convenient.
Brad was a friend of mine- this whole thing has been heartbreaking - there were some signs, a temper but we never saw this coming- i do t know the legal system in fiji but I can’t wait for her to get justice
I’m sorry that this crime has touched your life so closely. Are you one of few that believe that he did this, or is it the general consensus among people that knew them that he is guilty of the murder?
@@noraramos3798 I believe he did it, I didn’t want to at first but- it’s hard not to when looking at the evidence among my friends we believe he did it as well I’m not sure about over all I have moved out of Tennessee and so not close with everyone still
The only time I have ever believed in love at first sight is when I held my children in my arms for the first time. I never understood falling in love with any other person quickly. I feel like it takes time to develop those feelings, but I do realize everyone is different, so I try not to judge.
Gosh, you are so right! I fell in love with my daughter at first sight and 30years later I am still crazy in love with her!❤️Now I am in crazy love with my grandson!
You are 100% right. I believe in lust at first sight, or attraction, maybe even chemistry or a connection. But love is a verb, not a feeling. It grows over time and comes from a deliberate choice you make to show up, work as a team, communicate, and do this thing called life together (the good, the bad, and the ugly). You make that choice when you decide to have a baby and those feelings grow over months. I actually loved my girls before first sight.
I don't have kids, but I DO want to shout out the mothers that didn't immediately bond with their children at birth but are still good people and excellent mothers. I'm not ragging on the OP, so don't come for me, lol. I just don't want anyone dealing with mental health issues or post partum stress to feel bad. Take care of yourselves.
It's odd to me that he remarried a MONTH after divorcing. That sounds remarkably suspicious on his part. I can't imagine Christie being so excited for her honeymoon only to have that jerk dancing with someone else and then angrily end her life. I feel for her and her family. I can't imagine how her family must be feeling.
I’m not defending him but some people are separated for years before they ever finalize their divorce. I know people who just didnt feel the need to until they met someone else they wanted to marry, years after the actual separation, they weren’t together at all just procrastinating until it became necessary. I don’t think that’s the case here though.
@@christamarie3512 I can see that. But a lot of times, the process is so exhausting that people don't automatically think, "You know what I'd like to do? Jump right into another marriage!"
Yep and not just the short period since the divorce was finalized, but it was also not even 3 years since he was previously married. For a marriage to start and be officially dissolved in such a short time raises a gigantic red flag. Poor Christie. 🧐
In reference to where they may have gotten the money for the honeymoon, my hubby is also Chinese and traditionally in Chinese culture money in red packets called "Hong Bao" is given to the new couple in lieu of gifts. My husband and I received approximately $25,000 cash at our wedding and that's considered very normal, at least amongst his parent's peer group.
Wow, that's really cool and a wise tradition! Especially nowadays, since most couples already have all their household items they need when they get married. No real need for everyone to have to think about gift registries, or the couple to receive 12 blenders etc. The cash would go a long way towards offsetting the cost of the wedding/honeymoon 👍
That’s great! As a down payment for a house or a financial investment for the future. I would personally never spend $15-20K on a honeymoon when that could go so much further. Even towards a rental property if the couple already has a home.
After the madness of this week and all the UA-cam creators going berserk over the Kiely Rodni case I really needed to sit down with my coffee and listen to an episode of Coffe and Crime with my girl Stephanie. Nobody presents a case like Stephanie.
I am glad that AWP was able to find Kiely exactly where I had feared she was. All of the speculation was crazy and it seemed like everyone was jumping on that train. We need many more groups like Adventures with purpose. They are actual angels to these families
I’ve been really disappointed to watch the way some of the true crime community is starting to treat things. Kiely’s case was despicable to watch people speculate WILDLY with absolutely no foundation for their claims.
I work with a good friend of the killer who told me about this a few weeks ago. His friend said they both were a happy couple as far as he knew and NEVER would have expected his friend to snap like this. Just goes to show you never know what a couple is really going through looking from the outside.
I had heard from another UA-camr Annie Elise, that it was the same resort. I’m curious to know if Christy wasn’t aware of this until they got there and perhaps may have spurred the argument/fight after they had been drinking
First, I don't believe in love at first sight, unless you're talking about puppies and kittens and of course new born people. ;-) Second, I am so sick of people who confess then retract after some lawyer tells them, "we can beat this rap." (Sorry, my inner sceptic just grabbed the wheel.)
I couldn't agree more about how a relationship is built. As a naiive 17yr old I was 'head over heels' in my 1st real relationship, what I then found out slowly was how abusive he was. Emotionally & physically, it also came out he was dealing drugs and taking them in secret. He wouldn't let me go. I took a job 200miles away to get away from him. Ive been with my husband for 19years this year. We took it slow and got to know each other in the beginning, we had massive highs and massive lows, but got through them and its made us stronger. Our kids are practically adults and we are looking forward to being on our own again!!!
The ten to life podcast said that they did stay at the exact same resort he had his honeymoon with his other wife only like a year before their honey moon. If that’s true makes me think he was using Christine to fill a void
Yeah I went through a period where I just played random, mindless stuff in the background when I was cleaning or had some downtime, and I felt like it sapped my energy. Now I listen to something that interests me but also teaches me and it makes my brain have more energy and that helps me overall in life and work. I love it!
If she was alive when he left, WHY was he saying “ I gotta call the police” and “we had a fight “. Sounds like he knew she was dead, or severely injured
Stephanie!!!!! I hope you truly see this comment..... you don't know how much joy you have brought to my life!! I enjoy watching your videos and last night I introduced you to my boyfriend... my boyfriend said he is very impressed by how much research you put into your videos. He said not only do you present all the facts but you also make it interesting. Now my relaxation time of listening to true crime with you is bonding time for me and My man as well. Thank you for being you and stay truly amazing!!!
This reminded me strongly of the death of Tina Watson. She died in a scuba diving “accident” on her honeymoon. It was heavily covered on the news in Australia.
I agree. My husband and I got married a couple months after meeting. We were each divorced (not our choices) and he had a daughter. We've been married over 10 years, and we have a bio daughter and 2 sons adopted from foster care. But even though it worked out great for me, I wouldn't suggest that someone get married that quickly. We were fortunate. But exceptions don't make the rule.
@@lauren9004 - Your comment added nothing to the conversation. I said in my comment that I wouldn't tell someone they should get married that quickly. It just worked for us. It greatly helped that he and I have the same beliefs (our faith, politics, and other values), so there was that. Our parents were all super on board. Nobody was nervous about it. But yeah, like I said in my comment, the exception isn't the rule. The whole point of my comment was to show that as someone who married quickly and it worked out amazingly, I wouldn't tell someone they should definitely go for it.
My husband said the moment we met, he had a feeling that he wanted to marry me. This was during a back and forth with an abusive man and I fell back into that relationship one last time before I had the courage and ability to leave it. When we picked back up, I’d done some growing and maturing and therapy to get better with life and relationships. I believe that happened to make us stronger. We got married about a year and a half later after dating and I had put that part of my life behind me. I didn’t have those initial feelings due to circumstances. So I believe you can have good initial feelings of what you want out of a relationship with someone, but we both attest to the time to let a relationship develop also to back up the initial assumption of how you feel about someone.
yes! i met my current partner when i was 23, but it was long distance and it just wasn't right at the time. Now, 7 years later, a divorce for me, and 3 kids between the both of us, we're back together with a little bit of life under our belts, completely different than we were when we were in our early and mid 20's and better than ever! It's been a wild ride this past year for sure. I can't wait to see where life takes us. Finally back with the ultimate love of my life.
I heard that this resort was, in fact the same resort Bradley stayed at with his first wife! I am with you Stephanie, I don’t see myself being too onboard with going on the same honeymoon as he did with his ex!
So many people chase “passion” & “romance” without the understanding that eventually those two things should breed loyalty & comfortability. I’ve watched most of my friends bounce from whirlwind to whirlwind because the minute comfort sets in, they’re unhappy. It’s so sad.
Hello Stephanie it’s so good to be back in the chat 💬 I took a brake from true crime because it was starting to get to me and emotionally I was drained. I don’t know how you do it girl but I appreciate and admire your willingness to continue! Thank you 😊 Take really good care of yourself ♥️
I can’t imagine marriage to someone I hardly know! I’ve been with my husband since we were 11- married at 21. Now we are 40 and have been together for 29 years. It’s not easy to make a marriage work even IF you know each other extremely well. You have to know the good, the bad, and the ugly of your partner’s personality!
My grandmother knew her husband a few months married to life do them part. The same for a few of my uncles and aunts but that was in more sample times and everybody and their mom wasn’t a hoe. Than I have some date and other play marriage for years and their relationship don’t last the first two years of marriage. How I see it you have to be careful period in picking a mate. You could be wasting years for someone that will never marry you or date around for 3-4 years not good if you couldn’t find the right person a few times, specially if you want to have children as a female in wed lock. Those years add up. You need to listen to your family, friends and that small voice that says something isn’t right. Chris Watz had a lot of red flags before she married him and her friends and family point it out. I also learn people can surprise you. There too many true crime where people thought they knew their mate, friend or kin. But found out they was a serial killer or doing super bad things behind close doors. You will never really know the soul of the person but that person themselves in God. You never will know all their thoughts. People just have to be careful as times got way darker. I seen to more relationship end badly when they waited and thought they knew that person. To me people are way to quick to have sex outside of marriage and worst way too many partners. No one want to point to the real elephant in the room. At the end of the day there no eat your cake and have a party too. We getting more and more mess up due too this. Having a lot of partners even with men create emotional scars which people carry into the next relationship.People broken homes and single mothers don’t help it at all. As families break down more the more society break down. There getting less damage goods in the dating market and I sad for all that are out there dating.
@@melaniek.8563 I feel very lucky to have found him so early in life…. We grew up together. I came from a broken home, being raised by relatives instead of my parents. I think I was always looking for “a family” and he is what I found ♥️
This is a very tragic situation and my thoughts are: there were only two people in the room when this happened and only two people know EXACTLY what happened, unfortunately one of them is deceased. You know what they say… two can keep a secret if…
My husband courted me from Oct 2002 thru Feb 2003. February 18, I offered him a ride home from my bar I worked at. His friends didn't wanna leave yet. I went in, we started talking, he rudely started to go to bed, leaving me in his living room 🤣🤣... I stood up and said fairly loudly, "what, I don't even get a goodnight kiss?!" That was all she wrote. We've been together ever since. Over 19 years... August 25 is our 18th wedding anniversary. But we lived together with our first child before marrying. He was 10 months old when we eloped at the county courthouse. We're having a huge vow renewal ceremony in 2024, on our 20th wedding 💒 anniversary.
Question, do people give you shit for renewing vows? We opted for a small intimate wedding and the big one later around 20 years and some people have said they’re against another “wedding”
@@sabrinareyes3164 to be fair, we didn't have a first wedding. We just wore plain clothes and eloped. When I say "huge," it's not going to genuinely be huge. Our circle is very small. It'll be work friends, my parents and our kids. His parents passed away in 2017 and 2018, 11 months apart. (They'd been divorced since his childhood but his dad never remarried and loved his ex for life. He died completely unexpectedly 11 months after she passed of cancer). It's just an occasion to let me wear a gorgeous gown, and him his Class A Army unform. To proclaim, *hey, all you assholes who said we wouldn't last ... WE DID!* 💞
I REALLY wish they had her flown back to the states for a second autopsy but I understand her family being in distress at the time. I’m REALLY hoping that Fiji’s ME did a very thorough autopsy! Prayers to her family! It seems to me like he was hoping to do what he did in a foreign country & get away with it unlike in the US where he definitely wouldn’t!
I served for 2 years and the amount of people I knew getting married after only knowing each other for a very short time was insane. I don't believe any of them are still together now.
Great information that you’ve found and given us in this video, Stephanie. I’ve seen another video on this case recently and their content wasn’t even close in comparison to the information that you’ve given us. Your hard work and thoroughness is impeccable!♥️
I have only experienced “love at first sight” on two occasions. When I got a puppy, and when I met my nephew for the first time. I think a lot of people mistake lust for love; love is hard work. That’s why I’m single 😆
Coffee ☕️ and Crime is my favourite of your presentations. A bit of nostalgia for me! The first ever time I saw Coffee Crime Time it was Stephanie and the intro song! ✨🇦🇺✨🪃✨✌️✨🤗✨
Yeah I remember I used to do them at my dining room table early in the morning before anyone woke up and I had to speak soooo quietly lol... there was something great about those good old days
@@StephanieHarlowe yes! The good old days lol. If I remember right were you working at a phone store or phone company? I may not be remembering correctly lol. That seems like forever ago. Been a fan for a long time. Your awesome Stephanie!
It's always the intro song for me! Everytime I hear it I HAVE to stop what I'm doing and make a coffee/tea. And of course, great and well thought out vid as always 💜
You are hands down my favorite UA-cam account. I love how thoroughly you cover these cases. I really respect your intelligence and how articulate you are, and I love it when you get a little fired up. I just find you very relatable, like i'm having lunch and discussing the case with my smart friend. 😊 This case is really chilling. I've always said "a man might lay his hands on me, but best believe he'll only do it once." This right here is proof that once is all it takes, when it comes to DV. Maybe Kristie (Christie?) felt the same way. Maybe she would have left his ads and had him locked up. She never had the opportunity. She was trying to live out her fairytale, and it turned into an unimaginable nightmare. I cannot imagine the betrayal and fear she must have felt. Just absolutely tragic. Thank you, Stephanie, for covering her case.
Nothing better than cleaning the house and getting a notification about a new video!!! Love listening to your vids and crime weekly while getting chores done, makes it so much better!!!
Just got done watching Crime weekly and now I get to watch coffee and crime with my girl Steph! Made my getting ready for the day much more interesting! Thank you!
The detail that stands out to me is the cracked toilet cistern. I imagine that's not easy to do. I doubt falling down on it would crack it. Most likely she was thrown against it. Possibly her head trauma was caused by her head being bashed against the cistern.
I live in Memphis and remember a stranger telling me about this case when I was in line at the pharmacy. Absolutely heartbreaking...thank you for covering Stephanie!
Thank you for this Coffee and Crime, Stephanie, IPV is such a difficult topic to cover. I just wanted to add to your point about the 'love at first sight' thing that, according to forensic psychologist and author Jane Monckton Smith (her book on the topic is well worth a read as she includes anecdotes of her encounters with men who've murdered partners in her professional role - fascinating), one of the signs of a potentially abusive situation is a very quick development into a serious relationship. Obviously, most people whose relationships develop quickly aren't going to be abused or murdered, BUT it is one of the 8 signs she flags up. Men (statistically less so, women) who control tend to want to move things quickly to gain that power from the outset.
I homeschool my 9 and 10 year old. I also keep a 4 month old and 2 year old during the day. While my 2 are playing games together and the little ones sleep, I love to watch your videos. I watch your videos everyday. I am caught up with Crime Weekly and now I am catching up to all videos on here. Keep up the Great work and being the Sweet person that you are.
Thank you for all the amazing work Stephanie. I know you have a lot on your plate right now, but if you ever get the chance to cover the case of hazel homan, I would truly appreciate it and i truly feel like her name deserves to be remembered and honored.
Please do a video on Nichol Olsen and her 2 daughters from San Antonio, TX. It was ruled murder suicide, but there is so many red flags and not much visibility for this case.
Not all “ short courtships “ end in divorce. My husband and I knew each other for 4 months and we got married at the end of the 4th month. This past January we celebrated our 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY !! Marriage takes work from both sides, we are both very much still in love ♥️.
i was JUST at this same resort like two weeks after this happened (just got back last week) - i was following the story before we got there and it was super eerie being there so shortly after knowing what happened to her.
@@samum5856 lolll i wish. prices aren’t as high as was said in this video - closer to $2,000/night, which is obvs still very expensive. (we met a lot of CEOs and successful people there.) it’s such an intimate experience/vibe. so crazy that this happened there.
@@tianna1116 i was there on my honeymoon actually. it was totally beautiful, i loved every second of it. so sad to think something so horrific could happen in such a beautiful place.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou. Been waiting for you to cover this case, you are by FAR the best of the best to do so. Thankyou for going over DV cases i feel it is so very important and you doing so it probably saving lives. Keep up the good work. Hugs xx
This whole crime scene screams guilty... He'll never be able to convince ANYONE with half a brain he isn't his wife's killer. He's a sketch balls dude all the way around!
Exactly! I also don’t get why, when he’s already in a kayak, & surrounded by water….he didn’t wash off all the blood?? The local man on the other island said he was covered in blood. Also, that kind of negates his lame defense that he was out there to give her space and she happened to be killed during that time. And he so happens to be covered in blood.
It’s early here on the West Coast and I’ve got nothing to do for an hour or so Perfect timing and can’t wait to hear what you’ve found and written for us today!
When you literally think of a “ whirl wind romance” or “ swept off your feet” thats a scary image when you think about it ie.. Tornado, Cyclone,Hurricane, Tsunami …. idk maybe its just me- butttt- yeah.
I married 6 months into a relationship and the only good thing that came from that 10 year period of lies, manipulation, threats, emotional abuse and exposure to STDs was my children. And I’ll say when I hear the stories of the Watts, Petersons and Debates, it’s chilling how similar those men and their behaviors are to my ex husband.
I thought you did such a great job explaining the parents' point of view with how horrific and overwhelming it must have been to decide how to get their beautiful daughter back home. Ugh! That poor family!! 😞
Woohoo! I did a little dance when I saw a UA-cam notification pop up on my phone, I always know it's Stephanie if it's this time of the day! A new Coffee and Crime video ALWAYS makes my Monday morning better!! Love you Stephanie!! Keep up the awesome work girl 💜😘
I’m from Australia, I remember hearing about this case it was all over the news when it happened. The honeymoon destination was so beautiful and exclusive. Poor woman may she rest in peace. My condolences to her loved ones. ❤️
Thank you as ALWAYS Stephanie. I have gotten married REAL QUICK in my 20's in Vegas.... last minute wedding...... luckily, we BOTH realized our error in judgement and got it annulled . He and I remained friends for many years after that. NEVER rush into a marriage... :) Hugs
Honestly have tried the Criminal coffee and I liked all 3 but the undercover was my fav! I wanted to keep the bags bc in person they are so cool! I’m fan girling a bit but I try a lot of the sponsors too (gotta help out where I can) just got the 3 pack of native and I chose cucumber mint (nice but maybe like a deodorant scent) ginger mule (5 stars) and the citrus spritz (best of the group) however key lime and sugar by far my fav!!
I was not an exception to the rule, I married after 6 weeks and suffered a 7 year long abusive relationship. I finally left with nothing but couldn't be happier! And safe most of all!!
I’m so sorry you went through it for that long. I’m also glad you’re out and safe. Much love to you, warrior queen!
So happy you escaped and are safe!💯🦋

1) he left in a CANOE in the DARK in a FOREIGN area
2) he BROUGHT his PASSPORT
3) he admitted to fighting with her
4) he was the last person to see her alive
5) he had FRESH WOUNDS

Yep, you don’t leave your phone but bring your passport when you want to give someone space.
When someone tells me that they are getting married after only a very short courtship and engagement, I always say that if this is forever, why the rush. You have all your lives to spend together, enjoy each phase instead of rushing through this.

Hi! I am one of your follower and this peeked my interest since I am from Fiji born and raised, now living in the USA. Yes I agree Turtle Island resort is luxury. From my experience we don’t have funeral homes in Fiji. When someone passed bodies are stored in mortuaries like a cooler where families can pick them up for burial. I’m not familiar about the embalming process and I’ve never heard about it back at home. I do agree that I wished her family wasn’t misled about bringing her body back to the US for a second autopsy and opinion. Fiji is not as advanced when it comes to technology but the natives are very friendly 🥰 I’m so sorry about this beautiful woman’s loss and hope that justice will be served. As always thank you 🙏 Stephanie.
My wife and I got married quick but I agree. Our marriage was tested five or six years in, and ten years in, we're the strongest we've ever been, far more in love than we were initially.
That's amazing! It's definitely not easy many people don't make it. Everyone thinks my relationship is amazing but it's definitely not perfect. That's when you know the love is real when both people are communicating for their love even when it's hard and not stepping out making excuses for cheating
Same situation here, all good wishes to you both and all you love 🙏🏻❤️🍀🕊️⚖️💐💐🎂
All marriages are tested no matter how long you been with that person if you live on planet earth. Even if you never get married life will challenge you.
@@Pulapaws well ain't that the truth
My husband and I dated just over a year and engaged for 3 months. Would've done it a lot sooner, but needed him to have a better job before we could live together (we don't do the cohabitation before marriage thing). We're about to hit 10 years. Life has been very rough for us, but out marriage is a rock.
I married the first guy that I dated.i poured everything into that relationship. I now know that I also projected a lot too. You can decide you know everything about someone but you're really just seeing them through rose colored glasses. Having kids also changes the whole dynamic of a relationship and you find out if you have a helpmate or another (grown) child to take care of.
Are you still together?
The Daily Mail said Chen’s parents paid for the honeymoon. Bradley was running no doubt you don't take your passport and get in a kayak. He may not have planned it but he killed her. He took a walk or kayak, with his passport how convenient.
Brad was a friend of mine- this whole thing has been heartbreaking - there were some signs, a temper but we never saw this coming- i do t know the legal system in fiji but I can’t wait for her to get justice
I’m sorry that this crime has touched your life so closely. Are you one of few that believe that he did this, or is it the general consensus among people that knew them that he is guilty of the murder?
@@noraramos3798 I believe he did it, I didn’t want to at first but- it’s hard not to when looking at the evidence among my friends we believe he did it as well I’m not sure about over all I have moved out of Tennessee and so not close with everyone still
@@ozymandias6928 did he have temper/ fights with his previous wife ?
@@natashab3412 I’d assume he did, otherwise why get a divorce?
glad you said was & not is
Just finished crime weekly summer wells pt 2 literally 2 mins ago and now this is posted. Soooo much content for us thank you Stephanie
Same here haha
Same!
Same
Same!!!!!!!
Me too!! It's great to be able to go from one new crime weekly video to a new Stephanie Harlow video so quickly
I totally agree with your take on "love" at first sight. I think the cliche "marry in haste, repent at leisure" is actually a good warning.
The only time I have ever believed in love at first sight is when I held my children in my arms for the first time. I never understood falling in love with any other person quickly. I feel like it takes time to develop those feelings, but I do realize everyone is different, so I try not to judge.
Gosh, you are so right! I fell in love with my daughter at first sight and 30years later I am still crazy in love with her!❤️Now I am in crazy love with my grandson!
No ur right
You are 100% right. I believe in lust at first sight, or attraction, maybe even chemistry or a connection. But love is a verb, not a feeling. It grows over time and comes from a deliberate choice you make to show up, work as a team, communicate, and do this thing called life together (the good, the bad, and the ugly). You make that choice when you decide to have a baby and those feelings grow over months. I actually loved my girls before first sight.
@@cassie1264 I agree 100%. I suppose I should say I fell in love with my kids the minute I saw the pregnancy test turn up positive lol
I don't have kids, but I DO want to shout out the mothers that didn't immediately bond with their children at birth but are still good people and excellent mothers. I'm not ragging on the OP, so don't come for me, lol. I just don't want anyone dealing with mental health issues or post partum stress to feel bad. Take care of yourselves.
It's odd to me that he remarried a MONTH after divorcing. That sounds remarkably suspicious on his part. I can't imagine Christie being so excited for her honeymoon only to have that jerk dancing with someone else and then angrily end her life. I feel for her and her family. I can't imagine how her family must be feeling.
Oh I totally agree
I’m not defending him but some people are separated for years before they ever finalize their divorce. I know people who just didnt feel the need to until they met someone else they wanted to marry, years after the actual separation, they weren’t together at all just procrastinating until it became necessary. I don’t think that’s the case here though.
@@christamarie3512 I can see that. But a lot of times, the process is so exhausting that people don't automatically think, "You know what I'd like to do? Jump right into another marriage!"
@@ericaboisvert I sure wouldn’t!!
Yep and not just the short period since the divorce was finalized, but it was also not even 3 years since he was previously married. For a marriage to start and be officially dissolved in such a short time raises a gigantic red flag. Poor Christie. 🧐
In reference to where they may have gotten the money for the honeymoon, my hubby is also Chinese and traditionally in Chinese culture money in red packets called "Hong Bao" is given to the new couple in lieu of gifts. My husband and I received approximately $25,000 cash at our wedding and that's considered very normal, at least amongst his parent's peer group.
Good info! Thank you!
Wow, that's really cool and a wise tradition! Especially nowadays, since most couples already have all their household items they need when they get married. No real need for everyone to have to think about gift registries, or the couple to receive 12 blenders etc. The cash would go a long way towards offsetting the cost of the wedding/honeymoon 👍
Holy shamoly!!! Does your hubby jave any bro's? I could do with some of that.
@@teaspoonsofpeanutbutter6425 😂😂
That’s great! As a down payment for a house or a financial investment for the future. I would personally never spend $15-20K on a honeymoon when that could go so much further. Even towards a rental property if the couple already has a home.
Her parents paid for the trip. I can’t imagine how they are feeling.
I was good friends with Christe in my late teens / early 20s. My heart is so broken for her and her sweet family. 😔
After the madness of this week and all the UA-cam creators going berserk over the Kiely Rodni case I really needed to sit down with my coffee and listen to an episode of Coffe and Crime with my girl Stephanie. Nobody presents a case like Stephanie.
agree completely Brenda.....no one researches and presents quite like our Stephanie... :)
I am glad that AWP was able to find Kiely exactly where I had feared she was. All of the speculation was crazy and it seemed like everyone was jumping on that train.
We need many more groups like Adventures with purpose. They are actual angels to these families
Certain creators saw it as a quick cash grab the same way they saw the Petito case. It’s disturbing.
I’ve been really disappointed to watch the way some of the true crime community is starting to treat things. Kiely’s case was despicable to watch people speculate WILDLY with absolutely no foundation for their claims.
Absolutely, Steph is the best!!!♥️
I work with a good friend of the killer who told me about this a few weeks ago. His friend said they both were a happy couple as far as he knew and NEVER would have expected his friend to snap like this. Just goes to show you never know what a couple is really going through looking from the outside.
Thanks for this. The victim deserves to have this story told truthfully.
Home with a lupus flare, seeing a new video posted by you is definitely a mood booster! Thanks Stephanie!!
Chronic illness friend 🥰 Stuck in a flare as well and I totally agree. Stephanie makes it so much better.
💜💜💜
Feel better soon! I know how much that can suck and take the air right out of your sails!
I hope you feel better soon 💐
@@miyashadowfox8711 I hope you are feeling better soon also 🌹
I had heard from another UA-camr Annie Elise, that it was the same resort. I’m curious to know if Christy wasn’t aware of this until they got there and perhaps may have spurred the argument/fight after they had been drinking
First, I don't believe in love at first sight, unless you're talking about puppies and kittens and of course new born people. ;-)
Second, I am so sick of people who confess then retract after some lawyer tells them, "we can beat this rap." (Sorry, my inner sceptic just grabbed the wheel.)
yeah he confessed, then got a lawyer and the lawyer was like they don't have anything on you, and then he retracted. Exactly what happened
Stephanie saying a 250k brand new house is expensive is making me cry in Canadian. An old, 2 bedroom condo costs that much anywhere decent here 😭
Mood in my city that might get you a 50 year old tiny studio in a dodgy suburb, 2 beds are more like 400k
🤣🤣 you need to come to the states, you’ll get a nice house for 250!
Haha same, I live in London, UK and the prices will make you cry 😭
Ha! I thought the same thing. That won’t even buy you a cheap condo in Alberta.
I’m in Alberta too!
Bradley fleeting the scene after his wife's death, is hella Brian vibes. Why didn't he try and save her if it wasn't his fault?
Exactly. Or even just call for help?! Who just bails on a loved one like that?
I couldn't agree more about how a relationship is built. As a naiive 17yr old I was 'head over heels' in my 1st real relationship, what I then found out slowly was how abusive he was. Emotionally & physically, it also came out he was dealing drugs and taking them in secret. He wouldn't let me go. I took a job 200miles away to get away from him. Ive been with my husband for 19years this year. We took it slow and got to know each other in the beginning, we had massive highs and massive lows, but got through them and its made us stronger. Our kids are practically adults and we are looking forward to being on our own again!!!
The ten to life podcast said that they did stay at the exact same resort he had his honeymoon with his other wife only like a year before their honey moon. If that’s true makes me think he was using Christine to fill a void
Yup, I call that "prototyping"...getting a new one & going through the exact same routines and patterns. Its so creepy
Never heard a better promo than this one for Audible! Talking about how you want to learn,etc-so inspiring and motivating.
Yeah I went through a period where I just played random, mindless stuff in the background when I was cleaning or had some downtime, and I felt like it sapped my energy. Now I listen to something that interests me but also teaches me and it makes my brain have more energy and that helps me overall in life and work. I love it!
Same now I want it
I loooove audible! It was the perfect soundtrack to my 5 hour drives between upstate NY and Boston.
I recently got audible and only kick myself that I didn’t get it sooner!
@@CarlasCorner62 huh?
I am so glad you covered this story. Thank you for all you do. So sad for her parents.
If she was alive when he left, WHY was he saying “ I gotta call the police” and “we had a fight “. Sounds like he knew she was dead, or severely injured
Right?!
Stephanie!!!!! I hope you truly see this comment..... you don't know how much joy you have brought to my life!! I enjoy watching your videos and last night I introduced you to my boyfriend... my boyfriend said he is very impressed by how much research you put into your videos. He said not only do you present all the facts but you also make it interesting. Now my relaxation time of listening to true crime with you is bonding time for me and My man as well. Thank you for being you and stay truly amazing!!!
Awww I love that!!
Omg!!!! Omg!!! Omg!!! I'm totally fan girling right now!!!! Stephanie you actually replied to me!!!!
Could we possibly get a talk-through coffee routine? I want to know all about what machine you use, what coffee you use, your technique, everything!!!
The risk with quick marriages is that it could be love bombing and love bombing is part of the cycle of abuse
This reminded me strongly of the death of Tina Watson. She died in a scuba diving “accident” on her honeymoon. It was heavily covered on the news in Australia.
That story is absolutely heartbreaking 💔
@@roblynmul011 it was. It’s hard not to see the parallels in this case. Rip to those poor women. Both are just as disturbing.
I'm finally home, eating dinner, watching Stephanie's videos, after a hard work day. Time to sit back and dial down a little bit, I'm grateful 😌
Met my husband and married him 6 months later. Going strong 13 years now. I do think we are an exception though.
I agree. My husband and I got married a couple months after meeting. We were each divorced (not our choices) and he had a daughter. We've been married over 10 years, and we have a bio daughter and 2 sons adopted from foster care. But even though it worked out great for me, I wouldn't suggest that someone get married that quickly. We were fortunate. But exceptions don't make the rule.
Yea I’m happy for you but that was not smart, especially since there was a child involved
@@lauren9004 - Your comment added nothing to the conversation. I said in my comment that I wouldn't tell someone they should get married that quickly. It just worked for us. It greatly helped that he and I have the same beliefs (our faith, politics, and other values), so there was that. Our parents were all super on board. Nobody was nervous about it. But yeah, like I said in my comment, the exception isn't the rule. The whole point of my comment was to show that as someone who married quickly and it worked out amazingly, I wouldn't tell someone they should definitely go for it.
@@TooLegit2Quit84 ok
@@TooLegit2Quit84 you literally just said that and she agreed with you and you’re upset?
@@lauren9004 you literally agreed it was a bad idea and now she’s defensive 🤣🤣 I’m done
My husband said the moment we met, he had a feeling that he wanted to marry me. This was during a back and forth with an abusive man and I fell back into that relationship one last time before I had the courage and ability to leave it. When we picked back up, I’d done some growing and maturing and therapy to get better with life and relationships. I believe that happened to make us stronger. We got married about a year and a half later after dating and I had put that part of my life behind me. I didn’t have those initial feelings due to circumstances. So I believe you can have good initial feelings of what you want out of a relationship with someone, but we both attest to the time to let a relationship develop also to back up the initial assumption of how you feel about someone.
yes! i met my current partner when i was 23, but it was long distance and it just wasn't right at the time. Now, 7 years later, a divorce for me, and 3 kids between the both of us, we're back together with a little bit of life under our belts, completely different than we were when we were in our early and mid 20's and better than ever! It's been a wild ride this past year for sure. I can't wait to see where life takes us. Finally back with the ultimate love of my life.
I feel like a year and a half is still very, very fast…..
open youtube and immediately see this 😂 can’t wait to watch, loved crime weekly last night!
Same!!! 😎🥰🤘💯
I heard that this resort was, in fact the same resort Bradley stayed at with his first wife! I am with you Stephanie, I don’t see myself being too onboard with going on the same honeymoon as he did with his ex!
So many people chase “passion” & “romance” without the understanding that eventually those two things should breed loyalty & comfortability. I’ve watched most of my friends bounce from whirlwind to whirlwind because the minute comfort sets in, they’re unhappy. It’s so sad.
Stephanie... Thank you for your hard work... The quality of your content shows how much you care... Again thank you!!!
Hello Stephanie it’s so good to be back in the chat 💬 I took a brake from true crime because it was starting to get to me and emotionally I was drained. I don’t know how you do it girl but I appreciate and admire your willingness to continue! Thank you 😊 Take really good care of yourself ♥️
I can’t imagine marriage to someone I hardly know! I’ve been with my husband since we were 11- married at 21. Now we are 40 and have been together for 29 years. It’s not easy to make a marriage work even IF you know each other extremely well. You have to know the good, the bad, and the ugly of your partner’s personality!
Exactly. Knew my hubby for 3 -4 years. 30 years later still learning stuff about him lol
My grandmother knew her husband a few months married to life do them part. The same for a few of my uncles and aunts but that was in more sample times and everybody and their mom wasn’t a hoe. Than I have some date and other play marriage for years and their relationship don’t last the first two years of marriage. How I see it you have to be careful period in picking a mate. You could be wasting years for someone that will never marry you or date around for 3-4 years not good if you couldn’t find the right person a few times, specially if you want to have children as a female in wed lock. Those years add up. You need to listen to your family, friends and that small voice that says something isn’t right. Chris Watz had a lot of red flags before she married him and her friends and family point it out.
I also learn people can surprise you. There too many true crime where people thought they knew their mate, friend or kin. But found out they was a serial killer or doing super bad things behind close doors. You will never really know the soul of the person but that person themselves in God. You never will know all their thoughts. People just have to be careful as times got way darker. I seen to more relationship end badly when they waited and thought they knew that person. To me people are way to quick to have sex outside of marriage and worst way too many partners. No one want to point to the real elephant in the room. At the end of the day there no eat your cake and have a party too. We getting more and more mess up due too this. Having a lot of partners even with men create emotional scars which people carry into the next relationship.People broken homes and single mothers don’t help it at all. As families break down more the more society break down. There getting less damage goods in the dating market and I sad for all that are out there dating.
11? Wow…😳
@@melaniek.8563 I feel very lucky to have found him so early in life…. We grew up together. I came from a broken home, being raised by relatives instead of my parents. I think I was always looking for “a family” and he is what I found ♥️
This is a very tragic situation and my thoughts are: there were only two people in the room when this happened and only two people know EXACTLY what happened, unfortunately one of them is deceased. You know what they say… two can keep a secret if…
LOL "you know who else was a nice, quiet fellow...?"
My husband courted me from Oct 2002 thru Feb 2003. February 18, I offered him a ride home from my bar I worked at. His friends didn't wanna leave yet. I went in, we started talking, he rudely started to go to bed, leaving me in his living room 🤣🤣... I stood up and said fairly loudly, "what, I don't even get a goodnight kiss?!" That was all she wrote. We've been together ever since. Over 19 years... August 25 is our 18th wedding anniversary. But we lived together with our first child before marrying. He was 10 months old when we eloped at the county courthouse. We're having a huge vow renewal ceremony in 2024, on our 20th wedding 💒 anniversary.
I love this 🤍🤍🤍
You’re a bad ass 👏
Question, do people give you shit for renewing vows? We opted for a small intimate wedding and the big one later around 20 years and some people have said they’re against another “wedding”
@@sabrinareyes3164 to be fair, we didn't have a first wedding. We just wore plain clothes and eloped. When I say "huge," it's not going to genuinely be huge. Our circle is very small. It'll be work friends, my parents and our kids. His parents passed away in 2017 and 2018, 11 months apart. (They'd been divorced since his childhood but his dad never remarried and loved his ex for life. He died completely unexpectedly 11 months after she passed of cancer). It's just an occasion to let me wear a gorgeous gown, and him his Class A Army unform. To proclaim, *hey, all you assholes who said we wouldn't last ... WE DID!* 💞
@@GenXfrom75 Good for you!!!!! ENJOY your renewal of your vows! It's all about the 2 of you! And congrats on 20 years!!!!!
I REALLY wish they had her flown back to the states for a second autopsy but I understand her family being in distress at the time. I’m REALLY hoping that Fiji’s ME did a very thorough autopsy! Prayers to her family! It seems to me like he was hoping to do what he did in a foreign country & get away with it unlike in the US where he definitely wouldn’t!
I served for 2 years and the amount of people I knew getting married after only knowing each other for a very short time was insane. I don't believe any of them are still together now.
Isnt that a Military thing? Dudes looking for girls to marry fast? I heard so many stories
Great information that you’ve found and given us in this video, Stephanie. I’ve seen another video on this case recently and their content wasn’t even close in comparison to the information that you’ve given us. Your hard work and thoroughness is impeccable!♥️
I have only experienced “love at first sight” on two occasions. When I got a puppy, and when I met my nephew for the first time. I think a lot of people mistake lust for love; love is hard work. That’s why I’m single 😆
Coffee ☕️ and Crime is my favourite of your presentations. A bit of nostalgia for me! The first ever time I saw Coffee Crime Time it was Stephanie and the intro song! ✨🇦🇺✨🪃✨✌️✨🤗✨
Yeah I remember I used to do them at my dining room table early in the morning before anyone woke up and I had to speak soooo quietly lol... there was something great about those good old days
@@StephanieHarlowe yes! The good old days lol. If I remember right were you working at a phone store or phone company? I may not be remembering correctly lol. That seems like forever ago. Been a fan for a long time. Your awesome Stephanie!

Love seeing your little dogs run after you into the kitchen, somehow I never noticed before 😆
I don't understand how he can even ask for bond. Like you said, no one else was there!

“Pretty expensive house” at $250k 😭 that is how much a shed costs where I live. Sorry… got distracted, carry on….
It's been a crazy morning in my household, I'm super stoked that you posted a coffee & crime time 💓 got my criminal coffee brewing right now!
You are hands down my favorite UA-cam account. I love how thoroughly you cover these cases. I really respect your intelligence and how articulate you are, and I love it when you get a little fired up. I just find you very relatable, like i'm having lunch and discussing the case with my smart friend. 😊 This case is really chilling. I've always said "a man might lay his hands on me, but best believe he'll only do it once." This right here is proof that once is all it takes, when it comes to DV. Maybe Kristie (Christie?) felt the same way. Maybe she would have left his ads and had him locked up. She never had the opportunity. She was trying to live out her fairytale, and it turned into an unimaginable nightmare. I cannot imagine the betrayal and fear she must have felt. Just absolutely tragic. Thank you, Stephanie, for covering her case.
Nothing better than cleaning the house and getting a notification about a new video!!! Love listening to your vids and crime weekly while getting chores done, makes it so much better!!!
awww thank you so much for being here!
Just got done watching Crime weekly and now I get to watch coffee and crime with my girl Steph! Made my getting ready for the day much more interesting! Thank you!
The detail that stands out to me is the cracked toilet cistern. I imagine that's not easy to do. I doubt falling down on it would crack it. Most likely she was thrown against it. Possibly her head trauma was caused by her head being bashed against the cistern.
That's exactly what I thought.
Exactly
And that’s when the scream stopped 😢
I live in Memphis and remember a stranger telling me about this case when I was in line at the pharmacy. Absolutely heartbreaking...thank you for covering Stephanie!

@@a1c3c3u I work an office job on a computer 🤣 so we all listen to podcasts and drink coffee while we work lol
Thank you for this Coffee and Crime, Stephanie, IPV is such a difficult topic to cover. I just wanted to add to your point about the 'love at first sight' thing that, according to forensic psychologist and author Jane Monckton Smith (her book on the topic is well worth a read as she includes anecdotes of her encounters with men who've murdered partners in her professional role - fascinating), one of the signs of a potentially abusive situation is a very quick development into a serious relationship. Obviously, most people whose relationships develop quickly aren't going to be abused or murdered, BUT it is one of the 8 signs she flags up. Men (statistically less so, women) who control tend to want to move things quickly to gain that power from the outset.
I live here in Memphis. This is so sad. Your honeymoon is supposed to be one of the best days of your life! 😔
As of January 21, Lautoka High Court denied his bail 🙌🏼
So excited to listen to this, thank you Stephanie!!
“Love is something you build” YES!!! So true!

Thank you for all the amazing work Stephanie. I know you have a lot on your plate right now, but if you ever get the chance to cover the case of hazel homan, I would truly appreciate it and i truly feel like her name deserves to be remembered and honored.
Please do a video on Nichol Olsen and her 2 daughters from San Antonio, TX. It was ruled murder suicide, but there is so many red flags and not much visibility for this case.
Not all “ short courtships “ end in divorce. My husband and I knew each other for 4 months and we got married at the end of the 4th month. This past January we celebrated our 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY !! Marriage takes work from both sides, we are both very much still in love ♥️.
You get me through my work day! Your content is always top notch.
Yesssss mam! Great weekend watching crime weekly and start my week off with just you! You're my #1 youtuber!
i was JUST at this same resort like two weeks after this happened (just got back last week) - i was following the story before we got there and it was super eerie being there so shortly after knowing what happened to her.
Oh that’s interesting. Were you there celebrating or just for a vacation? It’s beautiful from the google search I did, I’d love to go
Are you a millionaire? ;-)
@@samum5856 lolll i wish. prices aren’t as high as was said in this video - closer to $2,000/night, which is obvs still very expensive. (we met a lot of CEOs and successful people there.)

Good morning Stephanie!!! Hope you have a great week. Thank you for all you do. Can't wait to get into this episode
This whole crime scene screams guilty... He'll never be able to convince ANYONE with half a brain he isn't his wife's killer. He's a sketch balls dude all the way around!
Yea he is
Exactly! I also don’t get why, when he’s already in a kayak, & surrounded by water….he didn’t wash off all the blood?? The local man on the other island said he was covered in blood. Also, that kind of negates his lame defense that he was out there to give her space and she happened to be killed during that time. And he so happens to be covered in blood.
.
It’s early here on the West Coast and I’ve got nothing to do for an hour or so
Perfect timing and can’t wait to hear what you’ve found and written for us today!
You were on fire in this episode! No matter how you look at it, it's impossible to think it was anyone else
Stephanie has been making my Mondays that last 3 weeks... Love you girl 😘
When you literally think of a “ whirl wind romance” or “ swept off your feet” thats a scary image when you think about it ie.. Tornado, Cyclone,Hurricane, Tsunami …. idk maybe its just me- butttt- yeah.
I can’t freaking wait for HARLOWEEN!!!!!!! 🖤💀🎃👻☕️🍂
Ur description of love was amazing ! Wow I couldn’t have said it better ! On point!
Who else loves when Stephanie takes longer to make her coffee, just so you can keep singing along with her opening song?
I married 6 months into a relationship and the only good thing that came from that 10 year period of lies, manipulation, threats, emotional abuse and exposure to STDs was my children. And I’ll say when I hear the stories of the Watts, Petersons and Debates, it’s chilling how similar those men and their behaviors are to my ex husband.
So glad you're covering this one. I have been wondering about it
I thought you did such a great job explaining the parents' point of view with how horrific and overwhelming it must have been to decide how to get their beautiful daughter back home. Ugh! That poor family!! 😞
Woohoo! I did a little dance when I saw a UA-cam notification pop up on my phone, I always know it's Stephanie if it's this time of the day! A new Coffee and Crime video ALWAYS makes my Monday morning better!! Love you Stephanie!! Keep up the awesome work girl 💜😘
I’m from Australia, I remember hearing about this case it was all over the news when it happened. The honeymoon destination was so beautiful and exclusive. Poor woman may she rest in peace. My condolences to her loved ones. ❤️
I love how you tell stories! I listen every case with your kindness
I feel like I should have already known that you love history, but I had no idea! I’d loooooove a Stephanie Harlowe history series 😍😍😍
Manz this channel has really grown. I started viewing it when Stephanie only had a couple thousand of us
Thank you as ALWAYS Stephanie. I have gotten married REAL QUICK in my 20's in Vegas.... last minute wedding...... luckily, we BOTH realized our error in judgement and got it annulled . He and I remained friends for many years after that. NEVER rush into a marriage... :) Hugs
It's so blatantly obvious he murdered her.
RIP Christy ✨😢💙🙏
So happy to see you cover this one!
Just what I needed this morning! Queen of crime and a cup of coffee!
Honestly have tried the Criminal coffee and I liked all 3 but the undercover was my fav! I wanted to keep the bags bc in person they are so cool! I’m fan girling a bit but I try a lot of the sponsors too (gotta help out where I can) just got the 3 pack of native and I chose cucumber mint (nice but maybe like a deodorant scent) ginger mule (5 stars) and the citrus spritz (best of the group) however key lime and sugar by far my fav!!
Ty for this! You are the best researcher.
Side note, I am so ready for Harloween. Been binging old ones recently!
