When I was a kid a waitress was murdered. The news was interviewing some of her work mates. One of the men was absolutely distraught. Turns out he was the killer. In Omaha, Ne. 1970's

He became eligible for parole in 2022 -- just 8 years after his conviction. Thankfully, he has been denied parole each of the last three years, but he can -- and almost certainly will -- apply again next year.
It’s not every year. After parole is denied, the earliest the next hearing can be is three years (2025). Usually the next hearing is in 5-7 years. He’ll be 70 then
not true. parole can give you a deferall which can be as little as 3 months until the next hearing. and a normal maximum of a 2 year wait unless you meet certain criteria then it can be up to 5 years@dantegood2195

The documentaries on serial killers makes you realize the one thing that they all share is their odd capacity to keep their killings to themselves with reminders and subtle keepsakes. They never go beyond that. They thought out every possible scenario for every step of the whole process and they usually only get caught by some insane miracle.

Ladies NEVER le a strange man live in your house!! What the heck I would of left till he was gone. She should never have gone out with him or got personal with him@
How do you know? It never starts out that way. I’ve had plenty of close men friends and some have developed crushes but I would hope none of them would off me. I’m sure she didn’t think her friend would but men in general are unpredictable and the reason for so much violence in the world. Women can be violent also but let all the men in the world halt their violence and watch how peaceful the world becomes.
Well if you’re already living like a slob then ppl won’t be suspicious. She was a military vet, they tend to be structured and uniform even after they retire.
5:56 this is a heads up and caution for physically fit/trained women to still be very careful. this is a safety concern. even in this case, a young military woman who is confident in her physical abilities reported to police she may be the one to hurt the old guy in self-defense. it is probably because of this misconception that made her stay with him for far too long. if she had less confidence, she may have distanced herself long ago, but instead she exposed herself to danger for far too long. this misconception of physical differences between genders is a safety concern. his method was ultimately just pushing a pillow down on her, while the extent of her retaliation was bushes scratch marks. this is another reminder for us not to brush off gender differences.
He mostly likely waited until she was laying down sleeping. That's why he had all those scratches on him arm. She was flailing her arms at him as he held her down. She probably could have taken him if she had been standing at the time of the attack but he had the leverage of being on top of her as he surpised, then attacked her in bed.
Gender differences have variances within them too, dummy. Not every woman is the exact same degree of feminine, and same for men and being masculine. I can say even pre-HRT I had a weak male phenotype to the point where just about any given cis female in the school could clap me, including this one bitch in my theatre arts class who knocked me out. So, stop trying to push this outdated class agenda
True. Girls always say "I can take care of myself." I always tell them, "Reality Check: No, you can't." People watch girls kicking butt on the Reacher series and actually believe it. It's fantasy. Her missing person poster described her as 5'3" and 125 pounds. LOL last time I was 5'3" and 125 pounds was when I was 11. I don't care what kind of combat training she had, she had no chance against any able-bodied man.
Except that nowadays, living alone is becoming increasingly more and more difficult as housing and apartment costs are skyrocketing snd have exceeded the wages of most people
I have too many roommates now between both of them they have five cars one guy brings his trash every day his room is full of stuff he brings all kinds of stuff in the front yard in the backyard he has all kinds of stuff I don't know what to do I'm probably going to I don't know
@@LorenzoLopez-z9jyes he did lmao jus cos maribel told him once that a tattoo would look good on him, he did immediately the same day. and someone telling him he should date someone his age, so he made himself look younger with surgery.
Some people can't accept rejection & move on. With a bruised ego they have to hurt/scare the other, sadly in this case murder. Thinking if I can't have you no one can. He was a scary character
He was a very, very angry man but hides it well. He only did things in exchange for whatever he wanted. Two weeks after her death, you are upset for questioning. Cocky & attempting to walk out knowing you killed a woman & maintaining your innocence even in her death. Very, very scary man,
I would have cancelled my lease and move! He wasn't paying rent anyway you can move you don't have to keep paying rent for abum roommate. Because you can't put that person so I would've cut my loses to have a peace of mind! 😞❤ RIP soldier Thank you for your service.❤
No, no, I see an actual difference in his face. The nose, chin and no more baggy eyes and his eyes look much more open. He looks like an Asian actor afterward.
@@focusedfox7167 Well, they convicted him, didn't they? That means they bought the prosecution's argument. All the cops had to really go on to point to him as the culprit was his search for the location of this tree, and prosecutors built their case around him using that. They never found any DNA or surveillance linking him to the crime.
She wasn’t too smart. Women shouldn’t have male roommates. She thought him being Asian meant he’s non violent and normal, she probably even thought she could beat him up maybe. The second she was scared to live with him, she should’ve moved in with her man that day.
He probably fooled her that he was a sweetheart and a GAYpal. 100% on your last sentence! Have strong prepared friends present and alert, get your essentials out and GO. stay with anyone strong or even at a secure motel - maybe even take time off work til hrs off the lease then move yourself if hesas twisted as you've just realized the danger won't Magically disappear because he's now your psycho EX-housemate-- Quite the opposite
maybe you should examine a bit about asian culture and where females stand in it... be glad that you aint born a female in certain asian countries. many asian females are very subdued and threated harsh, and it even from childbirth , where females are being dropped. sadly tons of domestic abuse and most of it never sees a courtroom as its "honorfull" to keep it hidden..
Why would she move if she’s the one paying the bills? Of course she would think her bf could help put him out. No one suspects their friend or loved one will turn on you like that.
idk it didn't sound like that to me -- it sounded like they moved in and she was under the impression that they were just friends when in reality he was really, really obsessed with her. regardless never the best idea to continue living with a man who has admitted he has feelings for you. makes it awkward at best, and dangerous at worst.
He faked his accent to sound like a sorry figure, he went to depths to justify the scratch marks on his arms, which were true based on his excuse. Worse!! His anger caused his sister to issue a restraining order against him. And when the police first went to the house, he was silently watching across the street in his car via binoculars. The entire details is in the Netflix show "Worst Roommate Ever" Season 1 Episode 2
So......he didn't take rejection well and took it upon himself to do the "if I can't have you, no one will" tactic. I can't believe this happened eleven years ago. There aren't just crazy incels online, but in the real world as well.
Since time began. Only he probably trusty-GAY-friend zoned HIMSELF to trick his way in to proximity to where he'd NEVER be Welcomed if he revealed his True self andtrue intentions
How about everything was fine until she threatened to kill him. There was no need to threaten him or call the cops. Evict him or move out when the lease is up.
@@Pizza-gb1ch he killed her. She called the police saying she was afraid. Every bit of evidence says you are wrong. Please never become a cop, or ever leave your house.
Lots of folks do that though. Yes it’s risky, but the majority of people are not capable of murdering their roommate. Especially not over obsessive “romantic feelings.”
Fifteen to life? What is this, the UK? I don't understand why sentences for 2nd degree murder are MUCH less harsh than 1st degree. I understand the difference between the two and get why the guidelines are different. But this guy was eligible for parole just 8 years after his conviction. That doesn't seem right.
He's serving life in prison. It's already been documented on many documentaries, and I looked it up. He's still in prison to this day. He's never going home. It's going home in a body bag
First sign that you are talking with the killer: he talks more than needed from the beginning. They feel the urge to appear innocent, so they can't help but explaining everything way too much. The first guy didn't talk much, straight to the point. If he's worried, he surely doesn't feel the need to make it noticable.
Kinda crazy that he most likely would have gotten away with it if he hadn't been compelled to search for the tree on Google Maps. What a strange compulsion that got him locked up.
Even though i just happened to see the thumbnail of this new upload and realized i have seen this story before i just want to say this right here is a GREAT STORY!!! Its one of those that stands out in my mind and i watch thousands and thousands of true crime shows, channels, etc. Even us crime junkies have those certain specific storied that always stand out in your mind and for some reason this is one of them for me❤❤❤❤ thanks for all the great content!!

I can speak on behalf of everyone, but your videos are always something to look forward to! 🙏🏽keep it up bro, love the content 😊
We need to stop entertaining these weird men. Don’t string them along if you know they’re interested in you and you aren’t. They don’t think like we do, ladies. 9 times out of 10 if you go on a cruise with a man (and no other friends!), take tons of pics making y’all look like a couple, he’s not thinking of you as just a friend. I’m not blaming her at all because in the end HE did it but we have to be vigilant.
She didn't string him along, they were roommates. It was made pretty clear she wasn't into him I mean she literally had a boyfriend. Plenty of women have male friends and it wasn't Mirabel's fault in the slightest that her roommate ended up having issues
Omg-osh I've just settled and am absolutely buzzing to see YOUR upload, made my day, you're always worth the wait my friend, your episodes are soo thoughtfully put together, proper quality, yet to disappoint, I applaud you for all your hard work, about to watch now My G lol Hope you're good, it's great to hava nother episode from you, thankyou for always picking cases that aren't common or never seen before, I think I can speak fir everyone of your watchers that it doesn't go unnoticed!
Your comments always make my day Hev, thank you so much for being here since the beginning ❤ Hope you have a lovely rest of your day and enjoy the video! :)
A loaner laptop at the library? I didn’t even know you could do that . Can you imagine all the spyware and hackers that might introduce based on random people’s internet activity
Near where I live, the library lets you borrow sewing machines, CNC machines, 3D printers, DSLR cameras and even drones and game consoles. This is Southern California. Lots of resources at the library that you might be surprised by.
Bruh he could've gotten away with it had he just let it go and not looked up her body's location. He was terrified someone would find her by mistake. How stupid! Anyways, not cool at all. Watching this type of Documentaries definitely helps me make wiser decisions and let thing be to avoid tragedies.
Guys and girls. If you get to the point where you call the police cuz you’re scared by your roommate. It’s time to get the heck out of there. Discretely and quickly. Go to parents house. Friends house cousins house. If you have moeny rent a room far away. If not drive far away from the area but do not stay there
Funny how he could raise 10k for his garbage plastic surgery and money for tattoos but never wanted to pay his share of the rent. Guys a disturbed weirdo.
It's actually one of the best surgery jobs that I've seen. Because he remained human and got about 8 years younger. Look at the shape of his face. Way way better than people who look like robots after the operation.
"I think it was an Asian gang or something. I saw someone, he looked Asian and he... he was speaking another language. I'm pretty sure it was... ASIAN."
Such a sad story. The loss of life. I hope the family receives the strength they need. It still seems odd how nonchalant Paul appeared during the interview. Understandable that he was innocent. I guess people react differently.
So, he would have not been convicted, hadn't he implicated himself with his online searches. The cuts in his arms were the first big red flag. Good job of the cops. Sadly Maribel didn't abandoned the house the previous days when he made the call to 911 and was already feeling in danger.
If she was afraid for her life and called 911, she should have straight moved out and went to live with friends, relatives, etc until he was gone. If he's not gone, then she moves out, plenty of places to find roomates. You gotta take control of your destiny.
At 5:49 Why Is She Crying? Because She Was Scared, And Felt In Her Heart That He Could Possibly Harm Her.. That Is Why She Was Crying Ms.Dispatcher🤷🤦 Ms.Dispatcher Would Be Crying As Well If She Was In That Horrible Situation.
She’s trying to gather more information on the situation. You know doing her job? What do you expect her to say? She’s a police dispatcher not a therapist. Her job is to gather as much information for the police that will be dispatched to the scene of whatever the heck is going on
Yep. The dispatcher wants to know more information to see if it’s necessary to dispatch the police to her location right away. Honestly when I heard the 911 call I had two main thoughts. 1) she really was in danger and 2) she is going to kill him and claim self defence. Like if she killed him instead that phone call would make her really suspicious instead of the other way around.
Valiant hero taken down by a cowardly weak viper posing as a harmless very sweet mild friend to get close and then STRIKE! Ive said it before because its IMPORTANT - this is a chilling tragedy dynamic as old as time

@@redgringrumboldt8983 re-read the comment. Said it was a dangerous game insomuch that she was unwise in her decisions regarding this.
Who knows, maybe the fella was paying for everything (dates, vacation trips, etc) and felt betrayed by her actions.
Girl, RUN TO THE HILLS, Yeah, it is unfair, whatever, but you will save your life. Trust your guts. That phone call to 911 was enough to tell that she sensed his bloodlust and she was afraid.
Exactly...this was 1st degree murder, not just 2nd degree.
"I'm totally innocent. My search for the GPS coordinates of the exact location of her body is just a freaky coincidence." 🤨
The documentaries on serial killers makes you realize the one thing that they all share is their odd capacity to keep their killings to themselves with reminders and subtle keepsakes. They never go beyond that. They thought out every possible scenario for every step of the whole process and they usually only get caught by some insane miracle.

Ladies NEVER le a strange man live in your house!! What the heck I would of left till he was gone. She should never have gone out with him or got personal with him@
Did it ever say she DATED him? I figured he presented himself as a sweet and harmless gay pal !
Why didn't she leave ? Clearly the mad man was not gonna leave
How do you know? It never starts out that way. I’ve had plenty of close men friends and some have developed crushes but I would hope none of them would off me. I’m sure she didn’t think her friend would but men in general are unpredictable and the reason for so much violence in the world. Women can be violent also but let all the men in the world halt their violence and watch how peaceful the world becomes.
@@ddl4374 How come you think he was gay or presented himself as gay?
Totally agree. Matter of fact, women should stay away from all men entirely. On the off chance you get murdered, everyone will blame you for it!
Well if your bed being unmade is an indication of foul play, I guess i would be missing a lot
Well if you’re already living like a slob then ppl won’t be suspicious. She was a military vet, they tend to be structured and uniform even after they retire.
Haaaaa Nah fr.
Me too
5:56 this is a heads up and caution for physically fit/trained women to still be very careful. this is a safety concern. even in this case, a young military woman who is confident in her physical abilities reported to police she may be the one to hurt the old guy in self-defense. it is probably because of this misconception that made her stay with him for far too long. if she had less confidence, she may have distanced herself long ago, but instead she exposed herself to danger for far too long. this misconception of physical differences between genders is a safety concern. his method was ultimately just pushing a pillow down on her, while the extent of her retaliation was bushes scratch marks. this is another reminder for us not to brush off gender differences.
He mostly likely waited until she was laying down sleeping. That's why he had all those scratches on him arm. She was flailing her arms at him as he held her down. She probably could have taken him if she had been standing at the time of the attack but he had the leverage of being on top of her as he surpised, then attacked her in bed.
Gender differences have variances within them too, dummy. Not every woman is the exact same degree of feminine, and same for men and being masculine. I can say even pre-HRT I had a weak male phenotype to the point where just about any given cis female in the school could clap me, including this one bitch in my theatre arts class who knocked me out. So, stop trying to push this outdated class agenda
@@GeeBee909 Again, you also are completely underestimating the strength differences in genders.
True. Girls always say "I can take care of myself." I always tell them, "Reality Check: No, you can't." People watch girls kicking butt on the Reacher series and actually believe it. It's fantasy. Her missing person poster described her as 5'3" and 125 pounds. LOL last time I was 5'3" and 125 pounds was when I was 11. I don't care what kind of combat training she had, she had no chance against any able-bodied man.
Saw a documentary of this on Netflix. The guy was a professional stalker.
What's the name of the documentary?
@@alexandrerodrigues9844it was probably the "Worst Roommate Ever" series
This is going to keep happening whilst we live in a culture of rejection
@@alexandrerodrigues9844 It was part of "The worst roommate" or so, not sure which episode.
@@MostlyLoveOfMusic sorry what? a culture of what now? you sound like you're not ok. this woman didn't have to accept this man into her love life.
Much better to live alone than put up with headaches of a roommate
Exactly
Except that nowadays, living alone is becoming increasingly more and more difficult as housing and apartment costs are skyrocketing snd have exceeded the wages of most people
It's the only way
I have too many roommates now between both of them they have five cars one guy brings his trash every day his room is full of stuff he brings all kinds of stuff in the front yard in the backyard he has all kinds of stuff I don't know what to do I'm probably going to I don't know
Must be nice for you to make enough money to live alone. Most Americans aren’t nearly so lucky.
Spend $10K to pay rent rather than facelift and tattoo. That would appeal to Maribel.
Huh?! You mean he spend 10k on facelift and tattoo rather than pay his rent… unless I didn’t understand your comment lol
@@LorenzoLopez-z9jyes he did lmao jus cos maribel told him once that a tattoo would look good on him, he did immediately the same day. and someone telling him he should date someone his age, so he made himself look younger with surgery.
Some people can't accept rejection & move on. With a bruised ego they have to hurt/scare the other, sadly in this case murder. Thinking if I can't have you no one can. He was a scary character
He was a very, very angry man but hides it well. He only did things in exchange for whatever he wanted. Two weeks after her death, you are upset for questioning. Cocky & attempting to walk out knowing you killed a woman & maintaining your innocence even in her death. Very, very scary man,
I would have cancelled my lease and move! He wasn't paying rent anyway you can move you don't have to keep paying rent for abum roommate. Because you can't put that person so I would've cut my loses to have a peace of mind! 😞❤ RIP soldier Thank you for your service.❤
“Plastic surgery”?! It just looks like he spent 10K on a tanning booth 😂
For real!!
No, no, I see an actual difference in his face. The nose, chin and no more baggy eyes and his eyes look much more open. He looks like an Asian actor afterward.
I don’t see a difference. Still extremely unattractive in the after photo. The surgeon sold him a bunch of lie
@@bleebleeblahblah I agree, it was a huge difference.
This is exactly what I was about to comment 😅
Literally GPSing her body's location is all you need as proof of his guilt
Not to a court lol 😂 glad you aren’t a lawyer
@@focusedfox7167 In this case, it seemed like it was enough for the jury to convict him.
@@ZhangtheGreat No it wasn’t but ok bro 😂😂💀
@@focusedfox7167 Well, they convicted him, didn't they? That means they bought the prosecution's argument. All the cops had to really go on to point to him as the culprit was his search for the location of this tree, and prosecutors built their case around him using that. They never found any DNA or surveillance linking him to the crime.
@@ZhangtheGreat thanks for admitting you are wrong, not a lot of UA-cam commenters can do that. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
How did he have money for plastic surgery and sweet tattoos but no rent? Roommates are alway a dangerous situation.
Plastic surgery $$$ 😮
Because of the plastic surgery and the tattoo. Without that, he would have had enough money.
No, they are not.
@@youuuuuuuuuuutubehahahahaha.. well when you’re right you’re right..
That's a terrible tattoo
This guy was a walking red flag ya'll .
She wasn’t too smart.
Women shouldn’t have male roommates.
She thought him being Asian meant he’s non violent and normal, she probably even thought she could beat him up maybe.
The second she was scared to live with him, she should’ve moved in with her man that day.
He probably fooled her that he was a sweetheart and a GAYpal.
100% on your last sentence! Have strong prepared friends present and alert, get your essentials out and GO. stay with anyone strong or even at a secure motel - maybe even take time off work til hrs off the lease then move yourself if hesas twisted as you've just realized the danger
won't Magically disappear
because he's now your
psycho EX-housemate--
Quite the opposite
Her boyfriend doesn’t seem to care too much about her though.
maybe you should examine a bit about asian culture and where females stand in it... be glad that you aint born a female in certain asian countries.
many asian females are very subdued and threated harsh, and it even from childbirth , where females are being dropped.
sadly tons of domestic abuse and most of it never sees a courtroom as its "honorfull" to keep it hidden..
Thank you Ms Cleo for those insights into her thinking. 🔮
@@AK47BLACKice That wasn't her boyfriend. It was someone she likely found off Tinder.
Wow Maribel should have moved out herself. Very sad she seen it coming and couldn’t escape him.
Why would she move if she’s the one paying the bills? Of course she would think her bf could help put him out. No one suspects their friend or loved one will turn on you like that.
@@MaryLou913 she did. That's why when she called 911 she said if anything happens, she did it in self defense.
its extremely weird to live with someone you dumped...
idk it didn't sound like that to me -- it sounded like they moved in and she was under the impression that they were just friends when in reality he was really, really obsessed with her. regardless never the best idea to continue living with a man who has admitted he has feelings for you. makes it awkward at best, and dangerous at worst.
@sydney7701 haha yeah cleanly
He faked his accent to sound like a sorry figure, he went to depths to justify the scratch marks on his arms, which were true based on his excuse.
Worse!! His anger caused his sister to issue a restraining order against him. And when the police first went to the house, he was silently watching across the street in his car via binoculars.
The entire details is in the Netflix show "Worst Roommate Ever" Season 1 Episode 2
OhGOD! EVEN MORE chilling gross nasty and heartbreaking!
What’s wrong with guys?? If a girl breaks up with you just move on, there’s someone else out there for you that will make you both happy.
I’ll tell you what’s wrong, the average guy can’t easily get another woman as quickly as the average girl can get another guy
That’s the problem here???
You must be as sick as him
⬆Skill issue.
It's a guy thing? So you've never heard of psycho ex girlfriends? Stop throwing your own gender under the busy.

That 911 call talking nonchalant, what a cold blooded killer 😮
So......he didn't take rejection well and took it upon himself to do the "if I can't have you, no one will" tactic. I can't believe this happened eleven years ago. There aren't just crazy incels online, but in the real world as well.
Since time began.

"Hey, I met this random Asian guy, partied with him a few times...think I'll move in with him. What could go wrong?"
How about everything was fine until she threatened to kill him. There was no need to threaten him or call the cops. Evict him or move out when the lease is up.
@@Pizza-gb1ch he killed her. She called the police saying she was afraid. Every bit of evidence says you are wrong. Please never become a cop, or ever leave your house.
All make mistakes. Remember that
Lots of folks do that though. Yes it’s risky, but the majority of people are not capable of murdering their roommate. Especially not over obsessive “romantic feelings.”
@@Pizza-gb1chEverything was NOT fine. He was already mentally disturbed. In most cases there may not be any way to know until it’s too late.
Idk how or why people get so entitled that they think they deserve anyone. Its not love at all
Such short amount of jail time that’s insane
Fifteen to life? What is this, the UK? I don't understand why sentences for 2nd degree murder are MUCH less harsh than 1st degree. I understand the difference between the two and get why the guidelines are different. But this guy was eligible for parole just 8 years after his conviction. That doesn't seem right.
This murder is 1st degree. It was misclassified.
He's serving life in prison. It's already been documented on many documentaries, and I looked it up. He's still in prison to this day. He's never going home. It's going home in a body bag
@@jasontomica8938 i feel much better. Thanks
THANK YOU for subtitles 🙏
First sign that you are talking with the killer: he talks more than needed from the beginning. They feel the urge to appear innocent, so they can't help but explaining everything way too much. The first guy didn't talk much, straight to the point. If he's worried, he surely doesn't feel the need to make it noticable.
getting a facelift to seek validation is the most Korean thing ever.
Kinda crazy that he most likely would have gotten away with it if he hadn't been compelled to search for the tree on Google Maps. What a strange compulsion that got him locked up.

We need to stop entertaining these weird men. Don’t string them along if you know they’re interested in you and you aren’t. They don’t think like we do, ladies. 9 times out of 10 if you go on a cruise with a man (and no other friends!), take tons of pics making y’all look like a couple, he’s not thinking of you as just a friend. I’m not blaming her at all because in the end HE did it but we have to be vigilant.
You actually are blaming her. If you were able to read his actual file instead of this quick synopsis, you’d know she had zero interest in him
I'm grateful every day that I don't think like a lady 😂
She didn't string him along, they were roommates. It was made pretty clear she wasn't into him I mean she literally had a boyfriend. Plenty of women have male friends and it wasn't Mirabel's fault in the slightest that her roommate ended up having issues
She led him on and paid the price
He probably fake-GAY'd hertho

A loaner laptop at the library? I didn’t even know you could do that . Can you imagine all the spyware and hackers that might introduce based on random people’s internet activity
Near where I live, the library lets you borrow sewing machines, CNC machines, 3D printers, DSLR cameras and even drones and game consoles. This is Southern California. Lots of resources at the library that you might be surprised by.
Bruh he could've gotten away with it had he just let it go and not looked up her body's location. He was terrified someone would find her by mistake. How stupid!
Anyways, not cool at all. Watching this type of Documentaries definitely helps me make wiser decisions and let thing be to avoid tragedies.
Guys and girls. If you get to the point where you call the police cuz you’re scared by your roommate. It’s time to get the heck out of there. Discretely and quickly. Go to parents house. Friends house cousins house. If you have moeny rent a room far away. If not drive far away from the area but do not stay there
he’s so f unlikable she should be out sins the 911 call …
Who ever did that plastic surgery need to be jailed 😂 nothing changes
13:07 lmaooo he spent 10k and this is the result?? 🤣🤣🤣
Funny how he could raise 10k for his garbage plastic surgery and money for tattoos but never wanted to pay his share of the rent. Guys a disturbed weirdo.
It's actually one of the best surgery jobs that I've seen. Because he remained human and got about 8 years younger. Look at the shape of his face. Way way better than people who look like robots after the operation.
How people put themselves in situations like this are amazing.
Her or him? Women put themselves in situations like this by drawing breath.
Victim blaming much?
She knew he was capable too harm her wow
Prob showed her that side that’s why she made the call.
If I was terrified like how she was, I would have spent every night at a family members home or hotel until he was out. So sad this happened to her.
If a soldier is saying they are afraid, that has to mean something. I wish that these kind of situations were taken more seriously smh
That’s what floors me, that a soldier would be in such a predicament.
The plastic surgery made him look older. 😂 🤦🏽♂️

If she was afraid for her life and called 911, she should have straight moved out and went to live with friends, relatives, etc until he was gone. If he's not gone, then she moves out, plenty of places to find roomates. You gotta take control of your destiny.
When friendzone backfired on you
At 5:49 Why Is She Crying? Because She Was Scared, And Felt In Her Heart That He Could Possibly Harm Her.. That Is Why She Was Crying Ms.Dispatcher🤷🤦 Ms.Dispatcher Would Be Crying As Well If She Was In That Horrible Situation.
She’s trying to gather more information on the situation. You know doing her job? What do you expect her to say? She’s a police dispatcher not a therapist. Her job is to gather as much information for the police that will be dispatched to the scene of whatever the heck is going on
Yep. The dispatcher wants to know more information to see if it’s necessary to dispatch the police to her location right away.
Honestly when I heard the 911 call I had two main thoughts. 1) she really was in danger and 2) she is going to kill him and claim self defence. Like if she killed him instead that phone call would make her really suspicious instead of the other way around.
I think he was There listening and his bearing made her add her hopeless warning in hopes of DETERRING HIM 😭💔@@GeminiJamW
