I know it’s obvious from what she did, but having your kids wait on the porch for their dad when you knew he isn’t scheduled to come is some next level psychopathic shit.
Recently, there's a video circulating about a single mom who prevented her child from eating food brought by his dad. Her reason was that if the dad was buying food for him, he should have also bought food for her 3 other children, who were not his. Meanwhile, she had no money at the time to feed any of her kids. But she preferred to let one of them go hungry to prove a point. There's all sorts of men and women like this.
I cringed when I heard that part. It's one thing when 2 people can no longer get along, but to psychologically scar your own children with your own lies... That's some narcissistic sick shit right there.
@@beno1129 I saw that. That was awful. I would have had the child go with his dad to eat his meal and not told the other siblings what he had. Egos so big they forget about the welfare of their own child
First, thank you for shedding light on the reality of men being victims of domestic abuse and violence. My ex is 6’4 and had a former girlfriend hurl objects at him leaving dents in the bedroom wall prior to shoving him down the stairs. He didn’t fight back or lay a finger on her, though he could easily have overpowered her, since he knew that’s what she wanted to claim he was the aggressor when the cops showed up. Second, I don’t think there’s anything more disgusting than when a parent manipulates young children into believing the other parent is horrible, abusive, always to blame and doesn’t love them of want to see them when it’s complete garbage. This monster robbed her kids of a genuinely loving parent.
Oh yeah it's horrible how domestic violence is "mostly one sided." It can happen to anyone. I also agree with that. Unfortunately that's happened to my brother and I. Yeah he wasn't a saint but trying to make him into some crazy monster..
Those girls would've likely been just like Jessica. She was their primary influence, even home schooled, no other influences? Those kids were gonna need ruined. I hope they're growing into decent ppl now.
It's awful. I'm a pretty big feminist, and this is one issue I'm particularly passionate about. Abuse is abuse, and it's inexcusable that men are largely not believed cuz of this toxic idea that they're too big or strong to be abused by a woman.
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian You can't say that for sure. I came from a similar upbringing, as have many lovely people I know. True, I'm an emotional and psychological wreck, but I'm not anything like this woman. I have BEEN abused many times, because I thought this kind of thing was normal for way too long, but I've never been on the giving end. Children aren't their parents. Sometimes victims of abuse do go on to become abusers themselves, but not always.
@@WobblesandBean my mum actually had a similar experience in her childhood and adolescence, my grandmother (who passed before I was born and now, at age 34, I’m glad I didn’t meet her since she behaved that way habitually and my mother’s three siblings all exhibited the manifestations of the abuse in different ways as they grew into adulthood), but my mum in response to what SHE experienced, was incredibly loving and consciously knew she never wanted to impose the same damages on anyone, especially her children. Considering everything she endured, my mum managed to become incredibly well rounded as a person, and I think a major motivating factor in her success in her careers (she was a midwife and later a huge part of breast cancer fundraising, charities, support networks etc here in Australia) and as a parent, friend, and wife, was a direct response to the horrific upbringing she had. Her family were from the country on a farm (I think everyone has a concept of how isolated and helpless a child can be raised in the Australian bush and outback), and she was driven in a lot of ways to make as much of a success personally and later in her advocacy as a way of constantly pushing to show herself, family, and everyone that no, she was not the worthless punching bag and all the other horrible things drilled into her for her entire upbringing. She did speak to me about it quite a lot when I was growing up (unfortunately, circumstances meant she had to pass on as much as she could when I was very young), she passed 22 years ago this year after losing her fight with cancer sadly, but as an adult and now with children in my own life, I’m much more cognisant of the reality of what she and her siblings went through, the effects it has on a child, and that I want to be as loving and supportive as she was. Unfortunately cycles of abuse down generations of families do often occur… especially situations like women whose parents displayed severe domestic violence going into similar relationships in their adulthood and how normalised that abuse is, but I know many people my age and from my mum’s generation who grow up to never repeat the abuses they suffered or impose those behaviours on others. I know I’m a random stranger, but you should be proud of your strength and resilience even though those wounds never fully heal.
I remember this story, Allan was a stand up man and father. He did everything he was supposed to do. Jessica was a complete nightmare, she didn’t even care about the damage this would do to her girls.
Reminds me of scamber turd... And I think her ultimate plan was probably to kill JD and get money but he wouldn't put her on his life insurance thankfully!
My husband's ex used to pull the "pack your overnight bag, daddy's coming" bs when no visitation was scheduled. My poor step-daughter would sit on the front step with her little suitcase and excitedly wait for us and then cry her eyes out when we didn't show. All so her mother could make her believe her father didn't love her. It still breaks my heart to think about it to this day. Women like this deserve to be strung up by their toenails.
What surprises me is how the woman's new husband was able to participate in a double murder. He was a policeman and instead of having her arrested for planning and conspiring a double murder, he went ahead with the woman's plan ... in fact I'm not surprised at all ... they are two psychopaths ... there is no other answer for what they did, if it were up to me, I would have given them the death penalty and put up a nice pyre.
@@Lifeovermatters2483 Unfortunately, if a person has psychopathic tendencies, he has no points for being the voice of reason ... If they do not become criminals they look for positions of power like being a policeman, not because they have a moral, but because, precisely, they have power over other people. A psychopathic serial killer kills not only because he feels pleasure, but because he somehow feels like God, having the power to take someone's life. Unfortunately it is the raw nature of these people. They have no morals and know no feelings. I saw the video of a psychopath who killed his sister (according to him only to see the mother suffer), and in the interview he said he loved his sister, when they asked him to describe how he felt he could not do it. It's chilling ...
Jessica is utterly evil. Even if she knew her daughter's would grow up to hate to her, she never cared about her daughter's feelings or welfare anyway. Jessica is one of the worst Monster's I've heard about anyway. Cold blooded, entitled, and her family are pretty messed up too.
I agree. One parent killing another is the most hateful thing a parent can do. How are the kids supposed to handle this life without a loving parent? How are they supposed to feel about their dad being murdered? She didn’t care about her kids, only her selfish self.
My nonexistent heart goes out to Alan's and second wife's family, not just Alan's daughters. The parents have lost a son and a daughter, nothing can give them back what that monster of a woman has taken from them.
@@leannmeddings4068 Yeah. at the moment my 💔 has decided to go on vacation, and not feel any feelings ... unless necessary to make me feel good. I'll be trying, maybe to be a little selfish, because of the my past, and think more about me, and if what I say / think hurts someone, I don't care, for once in my Life.
@@ShadowSoul92 I've been on hold for a long time, 5 years or so because of my past hurts. To get better you have to be a little selfish and take care of you. Please be careful though. It can go to far. Please don't become bitter. Not all people will hurt you. That knowledge keeps me going. Knowing there are good people out there. My heart feels your pain. Knows your pain. Take care. You are worth it. You have a beautiful soul. That's why it's hurt. Get better soon. The world needs you.
Intentionally causing her daughters pain by lying to them, having them wait for him, and keeping them from their dad is almost as psychopathic as murder.
I think Glenn Quagmire said it best. "No it does matter. These kinds of people don't change. Do you think they just wake up one day and suddenly see the error of their ways? NO! They just keep hurting and hurting people and the world is better off without them!!"
This story was triggering to me. My mother behaved in exactly the same way, although she stopped before it got to murder. She did convince my step-dad to assault my father though, so she was treading a thin line there. Those poor children. I hope they're in a stable environment now.
I'm sorry you experienced that and I appreciate you sharing. We all need to speak out against abuse and listen to stories of survivors no matter the type of violence or gender of the perpetrator. I hope you have good and healthy network of people in your life now. ❤
My mother was a monster like that too. She was VERY wrong about all the bad things she said about my father. Fast-forward and now I'm 40. I haven't spoken to my mother in years and years BUT I see and speak to my father every day.
Jeff was a freaking police officer and actually thought he'd get away with this murder? His psycho wife had been in a long, dragged-out, court-documented custody battle with her ex-husband. Who did he think the detectives would take a hard look at first??
Alan was my 9th grade banquet date, he wore red high top converse that matched his red bow tie, he was president of the student council and he played the drums. I can’t put into words how amazing he was as a person. I didn’t know anyone who didn’t like him, except for Jessica and everyone knew stories about her because her crazy was well documented in Bhm.
Did anyone know she had "murked" 5 babies?? Anyone who can do that can do anything. A huge red flag. He might have been warned off her had he known. Sad
One of the most cringing cases I've heard! Soo frustrating for Alan. You rocked that case and added so many details that we could really feel all the efforts you put inside, Jiles!! Thanks for your awesome work!!❤️
She's not human. Nor was her husband. Looking at his eyes in that photo that kept being shown, he was completely devoid of empathy. I'm glad those girls didn't stay around him. They weren't safe.
Monstrous actions of the perps aside, this case is also a pretty damning indictment against the custody/family court system and how deeply broken it is. If the shoe was on the other foot and Alan had attempted even half of what Jessica did, he'd have been locked up for life without parole on contempt, kidnapping, and a myriad of other charges.
Absolutely, family court is a revenue generator it's not about Children's Rights to relationship bonds with both parents, preserving sibling attachments equally, or protecting their very short but very influential childhoods.
@Strawberry’s Shortest cake Guess you didn't think that through. I guess it isn't much of a patriarchy if it doesn't benefit and prioritize fathers. The patriarchy myth is such bullshit.
This story is heartbreaking. How would anyone ever think they would get away with this crime?! Your ability to tell these stories keeps me hooked every time, I am a true crime fanatic so your videos have become a staple in my everyday listening. Thank you for such good content. Also, “cuz murder makes you hungry” made me lose it 😂.
@@Alex-tt9mj Yeah, I wonder how that played out. I remember there was a case here in The People's Republic of Canada where the amount the ex-husband was told to pay was more than his entire income due to various stupidities. If it didn't hit the news, I suppose he might have been jailed for "refusing" to pay.
There is a certain quality of his narration that is really unique. I also really love the Somewhere Sinister series. I've been recommending this channel as well as Somewhere Sinister to several of my confirmed true crime weirdos.
I am so pissed at this woman and heartbroken for the dead couple and their kids that missed the opportunity to grow up with two clearly awesome nice artists. All just cauz of someone's undying grudge.
The fact that women can be abusive to their spouse, boyfriend, brother etc. shouldn't be a new revelation but somehow it is. Usually men in that situation are afraid to report it because of embarrassment. The fact that there are no shelters for men, even men with children, is ridiculous.Courts are notorious for awarding custody to the mother without proper vetting. The ultimate solution is to provide the assistance they need to escape a harmful relationship.
@@carrieleonard4428 it's really not an ego thing. Women don't do the same prison sentences men do and women will turn a friend group on you faster than anything.
@@Thor-Orion other men who survived, the same would believe just like battered and raped women, believed each other and had to create avenues for escape, healing, housing, legislation etc. And it's not finger pointing, js lots of outsiders would position themselves to predate or use, a victim demographic or just are preoccupied with their own burdens (like wards of the state growing up and creating needs based programs, from experience examples could go on & on) Maybe men should pick each other up more? I know I've tried to save a few men from horrific women and honestly they seemed more receptive, to other men maybe more able to be vulnerable (outside of intimate connections)
The sarcasm peppered into the narration is much appreciated. You always seem to say it right when I'm thinking the same thing. Like stopping at Subway bc they worked up an appetite murdering the father of her children. Right?! 🤦♀️😳 Furthermore..he MIScounted the shells? Seriously? You had ONE job!!
I feel so bad for the kids, the manipulation was horrendous. I know what it’s like to be excited for your parent to pick you up but the never show, I can’t understand ever making my children feel that pain
Yes I agree.. I too am not lost on the effects of parents who choose to abuse their children by using them as ‘ chess pieces’…. In their pathetic attempts to destroy each other. They do so with TOTAL disregard of the many lifelong issues their actions create for their children!…. If you are getting divorced.. please let your children decide whether or not they want to continue their relationship with their parents?… and Don’t try shaming them for their decisions… Remember you the adults are getting a divorce.. not them… they still love and need BOTH parents!!.. and if they don’t want contact.. for any reason… you owe it to them to support that too!?! It’s not about you and your partner… it’s about a child loving their parents… so money.. fidelity… etc… none of that matters .. not to a child!!…. Love is all that matters to a child!♥️ After all… they are not going through a divorce in the same way as a parent might.. infact they have chosen none of it.. so be the better person.. it’s hard at times… but long term it will pay dividend.. because as they grow up.. they will then able see , understand and evaluate the bigger picture!♥️
Jeff was a police officer, how dull could he be to not have suggested submitting the evidence of abuse to the police for an investigation. He would have realised that Jessica was lying. Him and Jessica were evil, absolute evil!
Exactly. More blame was put on this woman than the actual civil servant trained to uphold THE LAW. Accountability is nowhere to be found for the dude who ACTUALLY KILLED THEM.
I saw an interview with Jeff on Snapped and he was a moron. Spoke slowly like he was slow and didn't seem too sharp. I don't think he was going to go far in his career even if he didn't commit this murder.
@@TheMattTrakker Since he was the pawn, he pled guilty and got fifteen to life. His first application for parole was in 2017, but he was denied. But Jessica has no chance of parole. She will die in prison.
When Jessica, announced to the other inmates that Jeff, was a police officer, I hope he realized what a mistake he made and he's now sorry for it. I hope Alan's daughters, grow up in a safe place and become nothing like their mother.
She certainly is a monster! With so many ex spouses out there that don't care about having a relationship with their kids, she should have been grateful but she was a true narcissist and everything was about her in her mind. There's no fixing people like her.
My husband's ex is a violent, insecure and abusive woman who didn't allow my husband to see his son. His kid is now 10 and they have no idea how to talk to each other. My husband was scared to ask her to allow him to see his own son, as per custody order, because she was so violent. Luckily the kid is older now and my husband has regained self-esteem, but I can't help but notice how his blood pressure rises as soon as she enters the picture. Nobody believed him when he was being abused and battered, just because he's a guy. Disgusting aspect of our society.
This attitude is demonstrated by the fact that there are literally 100s of battered women's shelters and NOT 1 for battered men. Believe me, I have looked.
@@dragonmaster9360 yep. I'm a DV shelter volunteer and we aren't allowed to house women wgo have sons over the age of 13. (Safety and historically reasoning as well) I use to tell them to find a men's shelter for him. There was literally none in the entire state. But that's not women's fault....
@@saulmc8920 nope not as rare as you'd think. Also how horrible that you would think it's ok for people to laugh at men being abused by their partners.
Not sure if u want to edit but you forgot the n in Monsters, just thought I'd let you know if u wanted to fix it. Not too important as I liked it anyway because it's one of my fav. Comments from you, of course of the best UA-camrs
Jessica is a real piece of work, a true narcissist! How sad that Alan & Tara were tragically killed, the poor daughters, this whole case is devastating. It’s hard for normal people to understand how people can behave like Jessica (Jeff just sounds like a nit-wit🤦♀️). Thanks for bringing us a new case that I’ve never heard before! You’re the best storyteller!!!
She resorted to damage the life and reputation of her second husband whose name is Scott as per the narrator who had to pay for child support and it was beyond his capability and since he failed to pay for it he was being jailed Wow
Such awesome story telling, thank you. Boggles my mind how people think they can get away with murder doing such a sloppy job trying to cover it up. Dangerous, evil and DUMB.
This is heartbreaking and a complete failure by the justice system, specifically the judge. She should have never been given custody and had proven time and time again as to why. It's a shame they both get to sit in prison on the taxpayers dime for God knows how long. If you don't believe people like this should be sentenced to death then I only hope your family never has to deal with what Alan and Tara's family's had to.
Lemme tell you, when someone does 5:00, it is NOT "sweet" or romantic, no matter what Hollywood tells you. It is obsessive and a blazing red flag! If someone cannot let you have time to be with other people; if they have to impose themselves on you and monopolize your time even when you've agreed to see them at their allotted time, that says that they don't believe in your agency, and that is a problem. This story is why I absolutely hate insecure people. They are incredibly dangerous. I'd take my chances with a gang member over an insecure person because an insecure person will drain your mental health and then take your life with no regret. A lot of them also cheat.
Jiles, thank you for sharing your passion with us! Consistent advocacy for the survivors of domestic abuse is the only way we will see a future where children aren't saddled with trauma.
As a kid who was heavily abused throughout almost all of my childhood (diagnosed PTSD some years ago, permanent nerve damage from the assaults), that stays with you BUT is NOT an excuse to become abusive yourself to your partner, you need to break the cycle of abuse! Knowing she went through a childhood somewhat similar to mine, one filled with violence and misery, where mine was my mother who encouraged and enabled my brothers physical violence towards me, and was forced to bring him up as if I was his parent, she was extremely negligent, but I made the effort a long time ago to never be anything like my mother or brother. I went through PTSD specific therapy after being diagnosed, I learned healthy coping mechanisms, I worked through the anger issues I had and found ways to work through that, I learned to stop and think about what I was doing, because as a teen I got into a lot of legal trouble (minor dumb stuff) because I eventually cracked under all the pressure of being a child bringing up another child, who was regularly beaten, psychologically abused, constantly neglected, I reached a breaking point and started acting out, so much so that I ended up in prison for 6 weeks (I think prison here in Scotland is Jail in the USA?), where after I saw it as the gift it was, that at 17 I had my life ahead of me, so I worked for a couple of years, got in touch with young person charities and got their help because by 19 the violence was getting worse and worse where I was hospitalised several times from head injuries. I escaped that situation with the help of young person charities who found me semi-sheltered accommodation. Know what I did? I sure as hell didn’t continue that cycle of abuse, I spoke to the social workers honestly about my anger issues, that I struggled, what had happened to me, and that I wanted to be nothing like my family, that I needed help. So they found me help, and through time I got diagnosed with cPTSD and PTSD, learnt coping mechanisms, got medicated for my PTSD, got help with the permanent nerve damage (worsened over the years due to the extent so mostly bedridden now, which sucks, but I’m happy in life now!), and got further help with PTSD specific therapy. You break the cycle of abuse, you make sure it ends with you, you make sure you end up NOTHING like your parents, that you NEVER take it out on your partner. If you have issues like being clingy/codependent then you gotta be honest about that (because even I couldn’t deal with that), you gotta be upfront about your issues so you and your partner can work together as a team! You gotta communicate, you can’t just use your childhood as an excuse to then become an abuser, you have to end the cycle of abuse because you otherwise pass that onto your kids, and that stuff leaves permanent damage.
That's the thing-kids with $#!++y upbringings tend to go one of two ways-continue the cycle, or say, "Hell no! I'm gonna be better!" It's always wonderful to hear of someone who took the long, high road out.
That womans behavior infuriated me the more the video went on. Also I enjoyed the format of giving the police perspective in a step by step breakdown. Great video as always!👍
Right!?! We put a lot of faith in titles.. we think "he's the captain so he must know a lot more then everyone else" when in reality he could of got that job cause he had been there longer then everyone else. It doesn't mean he has the skill set to match the title.
I was thinking the same thing, like literally... A car is engulfed in flames and you think the bodies in the TRUNK of a SEDAN are large animals? Like wow. Like, yup. Just some random large animals in the trunk of a burned out car. Nothing unusual at all.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for all your hard work Jiles.. it’s really appreciated.. you do an excellent job with telling these stories, by respecting the victims and injecting the right amount of disbelief and snark for the perpetrators who deserve so much worse.. thank you 😊
Out of everything that Allen went through, Tara as well, it hurts my heart the most that they were sitting on the couch, probably excited, to see his daughters do a little play,some thing they were both passionate about, Jeff is the absolute definition of being pussy whooped, because he was a cop, he knew what’s what, women can be monsters too🤬case in point, hope to see more women monsters, I watch a lot of deadly women & there’s a lot out there,,,,,,happy fourth to you and yours, hope all is well✌🏻💕
Watching a lot of these crime documentaries has forever buried whatever faith I might have once had in law enforcement. Jeff is the standard for these pigs. Freaking Jeff.
I hadn't thought about how his kids had gotten his love theater. That certainly does add an extra element of sadness how his eyes must've been lit up waiting to see this little play and Tara too having the same hobby and being in love with him and looking forward to a deeper connection with him and his kids.
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 Because one police officer did something bad then that means all police officers have to be as well?. That's illogical and ridiculous.
This story is infuriating. I’m so glad it fell apart quickly & this senseless tragedy was solved. Jessica & Jeff are the biggest pieces of shit going...all because a father fought hard for his girls. May they Rest In Peace & those children find some sort of healing... I hate women like this. It’s the highest level of selfish
Unpopular opinion: Alan should have cut his losses, wish the girls the best, go as far away from Jessica as possible, do just enough to stay out of jail, and start a brand new family with Tara. That would have been better for him. Jessica was a canker, and she was only going to poison those girls against him no matter what he did.
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 I couldn’t agree with you more. When his girls got old enough to understand, he could then explain himself & jessicas behavior would’ve been apparent. It’s just so tragic it took a left & then went south ✌🏽
@@CherryPi314 in 99.9% of situations like this he would have been able to get custody even if jessica fought it tooth and nail, and would have probably let her visit if she would be civil or get her in legal trouble if she tried to take the kids, weird victim blaming to act like he should have known he could be in mortal danger
@@luvcherry The court gave her back custody over and over. So maybe in this instance, where she'd perjured herself, missed multiple appearances and failed to follow guidelines, they MAY have given him custody. However, family court is so biased in favor of women, I wouldn't have been that surprised if they didn't award him full custody.
How maddening & heartbreaking. I love your channel & how you always tell these horrific stories with respect & compassion. It's also great to share these stories to shone a light on these cases for the victims/families. How sad. Jealousy is dangerous and & especially with an unstable spouse. So horrible 🤦🏻♀️🙇♀️😭 RIP Angel's 🕊🧸🌾❤❤ God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊💞💞
This is one of your best ones in a long time. The intro was better joined to the rest of the story. The prior vids weren't bad, I'm just saying this one is better.
When my ex husband and I divorced after 20 years of marriage, we decided that if we had something to say, we would only say it to each other. We stuck to that. It’s been 18 years and neither of us tried to make the other look bad. He paid child support. He had a very thriving business, I did not sue for half of his business. He took excellent financial care of the children as well as being there for them. It was enough for me that he made sure al of their needs and most of their wants were taken care. When our marriage was over, it was over. It’s was none of this calling each other every 5 minutes, or worrying about what the other one was doing. We both loved our children and did our best to be the very best parents we could be. This getting even business is selfish. It does not benefit the children at all. She should be so ashamed of her actions.
Whoa! Thought I knew this story....then you pulled the rug out from under me. Evil! Jessica's actions are horrendous from the start and just get worse and she throws her one defender, Jeff, under the bus almost literally. Geeze! To bad we can't issue child birth licenses and restrain the Jessicas of the world. One of your best episodes so far. Thanks so much
I thought the same thing. Jessica’s of the world shouldn’t have children! In fact I don’t like eugenics, but in her case I think it’s a good idea. 🙇🏾♂️
I'm only a third of the way through the video but I wanted to stop and tell you that this one is your best by far. I thought I knew this case inside and out and you still reported details that I hadn't heard of. Either your researching is top notch, or you're a master at uncovering information, or both but this video is a prime example of why I'm still a subscriber 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for sharing these stories with us. You are always so respectful to the victims. Subbed to something sinister too. Can't wait to see where you will take us💛
How do you always present cases that I've never heard of!?! Very well put together, straight to the point, a little sarcasm/humor thrown in with class... Great channel 👌🏼
At 13:55 when you talk about the mother lying to her child, making the child sit there waiting for their father to show up when she knows damn well there was no plan for him to show up that day; this is what happened to my dad. My fathers ex poisoned his son into hating him based off of these lies! If you are are woman please NEVER do this.
Sorry to hear that. sadly i don't think any person being capable of that feels any remorse vor thinks twice about doing something like this. It's like pleading to water not being that wet.
Parents that do this stuff obviously don’t view their children as fellow human beings with feelings.. they view their children as possessions. They only feelings they care about are the other parents feelings & hoping they can hurt them
These judges they love putting these kids in the home where the mother is completely unstable just because she is a mother and they're supposed to always know what's best for the kid or kids🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
It happens with unstable/abusive men too! Most abusers know how to manipulate the courts. The courts don't do what is best for the children most of the time! A parent's right outweighs what is in the best interest of the children.
This case points out how dysfunctional our family court system is. She had a pattern of non compliance and they suspended her jail time?! Alan should have had full custody.
"I mean if he had simply just let her deny his rights to see his children, none of this would have happened, right?!?" Ohhh, Mr Monsters, your delivery was absolutely peak cynical humor!!! 👏🔥
Oooo! This one was SO good! I felt like this one was really in depth and I enjoyed your quirky sarcasm too! It definitely helped as this was a really sad case! Thanks as always for the amazing content! :)
Holy Smokes, it’s hard to get my head around how evil, petty, vindictive and dangerous 1 person can be, to be able to cause just misery and havocs through revenge and jealousy. How she was able to sway a cop to her participate in murder through her lies really showed clearly the depths of her being’s unrelenting narcissism. I really felt sorry for Alan who she sucked into her dark abyss of hate and revenge that knew of no bounds. I’m completely astonished her lawyer didn’t play the “ mental health card “ at her double - murder trial and I was really high eyebrowed when she and her cop husband didn’t receive Capital Punishment when they surely deserved no less than that. My husband and I have known each other for over 20 years and have been married for for 18 years and it is truly beyond my comprehension that a human being could do something so beyond horrific to anyone, let alone the loving responsible father of your children. Alan was happy in his life and it ate at her like cancer, a contagious cancer she spread into to her cop husband who unfortunately was as sick as she was. They are both where they belong, far away from society even though they preyed upon their own. Heartbreaking for the families of Alan and his sweet wife, especially Alan’s children who now live forever live in shadows of what their own mother and step - father did while not giving a penny’s thought what it would do to them as they move towards their futures.
Using psychological warfare on your children is infuriating. But kids know the difference between a parent and a monster. They may be fooled at times, but overall they know.
Really unfortunate for Alan this happened so long ago. In 2022, with the explosion of the “true crime analysis” genre on UA-cam…if I was dealing with someone like Jessica, I would immediately foresee myself being on a future episode of “This is Monsters”.
I absolutely love the way you tell us about these monsters. You keep me on the edge of my seat. I've always been a silent watcher until this story. Thank you. ♥️🌹
My first comment: the intro put me at the scene looking and seeing the whole picture... I LOVE THE WAY YOU NARRATE! I know you are thinking, you say that all the time, yes but I do love it! I can see the trees ( 😔 ) smoldering, blackened and the charred white car everything... please do NOT ever change the way you take the time to take our brains and set them right there at the scenes. FANTASTIC ABSOLUTELY 💯 % FANTASTIC! Especially for sensitive people who can envision words into worlds. I hope when you're 100 years old, you're still narrating, literally Hollywood should hire you periodt to narrate ALL narrations, you make the mind see, not just the eyes. 🤗
Damn this woman was a real POS for brainwashing her own kids like that. Making them believe their father was on the way to pick them up just to disappoint them when he never came.
I went to school with both Alan and Jessica. Alan was the best. A real stand up guy. Who always tried to the right thing. He was a great person and friend. I was horrified when i heard about this. Words can't describe! Such a wonderful soul, Alan was wouldn't hurt a fly.
This woman isn’t just evil, she isn’t just selfish, she isn’t just arrogant she is just plain stupid. Everything she and her new husband did before, during and after these cowardly murders screams “ We did it “. come arrest us! You couldn’t make up this kind of bungling crime, people wouldn’t believe it. And two precious children now have no parents and live with the fact they’re mother killed their father.
It boggles my mind that anyone would think killing someone (aside from self defense) is a solution. In this day and age of advanced forensic science will all but guarantee you will get caught.
This is heartbreaking for for the victims and families of such cruelty. Terra seemed like such a nice lady, and probably only died because she was bringing happiness to Allan. Wondering what happened to the daughters after this and hoping they have the inner strength and support to overcome this horror, and that they are not manipulated by the savage lies they were told about their Dad by a monster.
I’m a Birmingham, AL native and my Mother actually knew Alan from her days working for the Director of the Alabama Ballet. Alan was frequently in contact with them due to the Alabama Theatre association. I knew the (now deceased) former Executive Director of the Alabama Theatre who was good friends with Alan. Both he and my Mother only had wonderful things to say about Alan. He was a kind, hardworking, friendly, responsible man who tragically got mixed up with the wrong woman. I am overjoyed that Jessica and Jeff are in prison for life and I hope they are haunted every single day by what they did, but something tells me they’re such monsters that aren’t capable of redemption. So sad for those daughters who are now grown. I hope they are doing as well as possible under the circumstances. Great coverage of this case!
I doubt they'll be haunted. Jeff all but said the only thing he felt was recoil, and Jessica is likely still trying to tell anyone who will listen about how it's everyone's fault but hers
99% of the time it's not anything close to this. Even in cases of separation or divorce the people I know still work out time sharing with the kid and don't want to deprive them of a mother,/father unless they're dangerous or insane
@@BacklTrack I disagree. My stepfather beat me for ten years and I was finally removed and taken to foster care at FOURTEEN because the last time he whipped me with his belt the bruises lasted two weeks. It’s not all fine by a long shot.
WOW! She was a real POS! Most men would have easily given up on their children due to her hate and shear vengeance to keep the children away from their father OR filed for full custody based on her instability and her hatred for those same lies against him... she is bat s h i t crazy! Those evil monsters deserve to be right where they are.
I'm truly amazed at what people get up to, and how far things go before they are either stopped, or things get very bad. It shouldn't get this far! All of that craziness over childcare and support would have driven me around the bend early on. What a sad story. Terrible people.
I know it’s obvious from what she did, but having your kids wait on the porch for their dad when you knew he isn’t scheduled to come is some next level psychopathic shit.
Recently, there's a video circulating about a single mom who prevented her child from eating food brought by his dad. Her reason was that if the dad was buying food for him, he should have also bought food for her 3 other children, who were not his. Meanwhile, she had no money at the time to feed any of her kids. But she preferred to let one of them go hungry to prove a point. There's all sorts of men and women like this.
I'm surprised and shocked that the social and childcare staff were so incompetent. That mother's behaviour stuck out a mile.
@@beno1129 Judging by your example and subject to the story, seems like there're more women like this than men...
I cringed when I heard that part. It's one thing when 2 people can no longer get along, but to psychologically scar your own children with your own lies... That's some narcissistic sick shit right there.
@@beno1129 I saw that. That was awful. I would have had the child go with his dad to eat his meal and not told the other siblings what he had. Egos so big they forget about the welfare of their own child
First, thank you for shedding light on the reality of men being victims of domestic abuse and violence. My ex is 6’4 and had a former girlfriend hurl objects at him leaving dents in the bedroom wall prior to shoving him down the stairs. He didn’t fight back or lay a finger on her, though he could easily have overpowered her, since he knew that’s what she wanted to claim he was the aggressor when the cops showed up.
Second, I don’t think there’s anything more disgusting than when a parent manipulates young children into believing the other parent is horrible, abusive, always to blame and doesn’t love them of want to see them when it’s complete garbage. This monster robbed her kids of a genuinely loving parent.
Oh yeah it's horrible how domestic violence is "mostly one sided." It can happen to anyone.
I also agree with that. Unfortunately that's happened to my brother and I. Yeah he wasn't a saint but trying to make him into some crazy monster..
Those girls would've likely been just like Jessica. She was their primary influence, even home schooled, no other influences? Those kids were gonna need ruined. I hope they're growing into decent ppl now.
It's awful. I'm a pretty big feminist, and this is one issue I'm particularly passionate about. Abuse is abuse, and it's inexcusable that men are largely not believed cuz of this toxic idea that they're too big or strong to be abused by a woman.
@@HeyIwasaValedictorian You can't say that for sure. I came from a similar upbringing, as have many lovely people I know. True, I'm an emotional and psychological wreck, but I'm not anything like this woman. I have BEEN abused many times, because I thought this kind of thing was normal for way too long, but I've never been on the giving end. Children aren't their parents. Sometimes victims of abuse do go on to become abusers themselves, but not always.
@@WobblesandBean my mum actually had a similar experience in her childhood and adolescence, my grandmother (who passed before I was born and now, at age 34, I’m glad I didn’t meet her since she behaved that way habitually and my mother’s three siblings all exhibited the manifestations of the abuse in different ways as they grew into adulthood), but my mum in response to what SHE experienced, was incredibly loving and consciously knew she never wanted to impose the same damages on anyone, especially her children.
Considering everything she endured, my mum managed to become incredibly well rounded as a person, and I think a major motivating factor in her success in her careers (she was a midwife and later a huge part of breast cancer fundraising, charities, support networks etc here in Australia) and as a parent, friend, and wife, was a direct response to the horrific upbringing she had. Her family were from the country on a farm (I think everyone has a concept of how isolated and helpless a child can be raised in the Australian bush and outback), and she was driven in a lot of ways to make as much of a success personally and later in her advocacy as a way of constantly pushing to show herself, family, and everyone that no, she was not the worthless punching bag and all the other horrible things drilled into her for her entire upbringing.
She did speak to me about it quite a lot when I was growing up (unfortunately, circumstances meant she had to pass on as much as she could when I was very young), she passed 22 years ago this year after losing her fight with cancer sadly, but as an adult and now with children in my own life, I’m much more cognisant of the reality of what she and her siblings went through, the effects it has on a child, and that I want to be as loving and supportive as she was.
Unfortunately cycles of abuse down generations of families do often occur… especially situations like women whose parents displayed severe domestic violence going into similar relationships in their adulthood and how normalised that abuse is, but I know many people my age and from my mum’s generation who grow up to never repeat the abuses they suffered or impose those behaviours on others.
I know I’m a random stranger, but you should be proud of your strength and resilience even though those wounds never fully heal.
I remember this story, Allan was a stand up man and father. He did everything he was supposed to do. Jessica was a complete nightmare, she didn’t even care about the damage this would do to her girls.
Reminds me of scamber turd... And I think her ultimate plan was probably to kill JD and get money but he wouldn't put her on his life insurance thankfully!
My husband's ex used to pull the "pack your overnight bag, daddy's coming" bs when no visitation was scheduled. My poor step-daughter would sit on the front step with her little suitcase and excitedly wait for us and then cry her eyes out when we didn't show. All so her mother could make her believe her father didn't love her. It still breaks my heart to think about it to this day. Women like this deserve to be strung up by their toenails.
What surprises me is how the woman's new husband was able to participate in a double murder. He was a policeman and instead of having her arrested for planning and conspiring a double murder, he went ahead with the woman's plan ... in fact I'm not surprised at all ... they are two psychopaths ... there is no other answer for what they did, if it were up to me, I would have given them the death penalty and put up a nice pyre.
@@ShadowSoul92 yes it really added to the sinister nature of everything. He should have been the voice of reason.
@@Lifeovermatters2483 Unfortunately, if a person has psychopathic tendencies, he has no points for being the voice of reason ... If they do not become criminals they look for positions of power like being a policeman, not because they have a moral, but because, precisely, they have power over other people. A psychopathic serial killer kills not only because he feels pleasure, but because he somehow feels like God, having the power to take someone's life. Unfortunately it is the raw nature of these people. They have no morals and know no feelings. I saw the video of a psychopath who killed his sister (according to him only to see the mother suffer), and in the interview he said he loved his sister, when they asked him to describe how he felt he could not do it. It's chilling ...
Jessica is utterly evil. Even if she knew her daughter's would grow up to hate to her, she never cared about her daughter's feelings or welfare anyway. Jessica is one of the worst Monster's I've heard about anyway. Cold blooded, entitled, and her family are pretty messed up too.
You probably need to watch more of Monsters videos. There are worse unfortunately.
You know someone is messed up when they have had 6 abortions
I agree. One parent killing another is the most hateful thing a parent can do. How are the kids supposed to handle this life without a loving parent? How are they supposed to feel about their dad being murdered? She didn’t care about her kids, only her selfish self.
@@rubinmaballs9055 or just stupid. Like why not get an IUD or go on birth control?
Between her and Kim Cargill, I'm not sure which one of those b****** is worse.
My heart goes out to Alan's daughters who lost their parents when Alan and his wife were murdered.
My nonexistent heart goes out to Alan's and second wife's family, not just Alan's daughters. The parents have lost a son and a daughter, nothing can give them back what that monster of a woman has taken from them.
@@ShadowSoul92 non-existant heart?
@@leannmeddings4068 Yeah. at the moment my 💔 has decided to go on vacation, and not feel any feelings ... unless necessary to make me feel good. I'll be trying, maybe to be a little selfish, because of the my past, and think more about me, and if what I say / think hurts someone, I don't care, for once in my Life.
@@ShadowSoul92 I've been on hold for a long time, 5 years or so because of my past hurts. To get better you have to be a little selfish and take care of you. Please be careful though. It can go to far. Please don't become bitter. Not all people will hurt you. That knowledge keeps me going. Knowing there are good people out there. My heart feels your pain. Knows your pain. Take care. You are worth it. You have a beautiful soul. That's why it's hurt. Get better soon. The world needs you.
Intentionally causing her daughters pain by lying to them, having them wait for him, and keeping them from their dad is almost as psychopathic as murder.
Not sure I would have used the word "almost" there, to me lying to your kids in that manner is 10/10 on the psycho meter.
This is pretty low keyed compared to my monster. Mommy Dearests get away with a lot of crap.
For people like her it's all about control. She's the puppet master and the rest of the world must dance to her tune.
People like Jessica are only happy when ruining someone's life...vile!!
I think Glenn Quagmire said it best. "No it does matter. These kinds of people don't change. Do you think they just wake up one day and suddenly see the error of their ways? NO! They just keep hurting and hurting people and the world is better off without them!!"
Beside the murder, her being able to deny this man access to his kids for a full freaking year is disgusting. What an evil, vindictive woman. Wow.
This stuff happens all the time
Court order required.
@@bwhittle76 Yes, it unfortunately does, even today. My family is experiencing this as we speak.
Yeah no kidding just an awful woman indeed
Courts think men are only paychecks
I love that they let a man who was obviously “a little dim” be a cop. Round of applause.
This story was triggering to me. My mother behaved in exactly the same way, although she stopped before it got to murder. She did convince my step-dad to assault my father though, so she was treading a thin line there. Those poor children. I hope they're in a stable environment now.
I’m so sorry that happened to you, what a terrible thing to go through as a child 😞 I hope you are able to find peace and healing from this trauma ♥️
I'm sorry you experienced that and I appreciate you sharing. We all need to speak out against abuse and listen to stories of survivors no matter the type of violence or gender of the perpetrator. I hope you have good and healthy network of people in your life now. ❤
Yikes
Your step dad's almost as big of a b**** as your mother. No offense.
My mother was a monster like that too. She was VERY wrong about all the bad things she said about my father.
Fast-forward and now I'm 40. I haven't spoken to my mother in years and years BUT I see and speak to my father every day.
Jeff was a freaking police officer and actually thought he'd get away with this murder? His psycho wife had been in a long, dragged-out, court-documented custody battle with her ex-husband. Who did he think the detectives would take a hard look at first??
Right Moronic purely Insane!
Cops aren't exactly known for their superior intellect
They did say he was a bit dim
Guys! I killed someone! We're all going to close ranks and sweep this under the rug to avoid bad PR, right?... Guys?...
To your first sentence, why wouldn't he? We see it, on live video, even, all the time.
Alan was my 9th grade banquet date, he wore red high top converse that matched his red bow tie, he was president of the student council and he played the drums. I can’t put into words how amazing he was as a person. I didn’t know anyone who didn’t like him, except for Jessica and everyone knew stories about her because her crazy was well documented in Bhm.
Did anyone know she had "murked" 5 babies?? Anyone who can do that can do anything. A huge red flag. He might have been warned off her had he known. Sad
@@Utoobeh4tesfreespeechthat wasn’t well known but it also didn’t surprise anyone. 💔
One of the most cringing cases I've heard! Soo frustrating for Alan. You rocked that case and added so many details that we could really feel all the efforts you put inside, Jiles!! Thanks for your awesome work!!❤️
These stories is why you don't try to be civil with nutjobs they plan crap like this.
He married her now he is going to see what kind of female 🐑 she is.He better be glad 😊😊 he is in prison cause she will trying to kill him also.
One moment for all those fathers that dont get justice at family courts.
This needs 1 million likes
What a complete nightmare she was. Jeff was no picnic either. Glad they both got what they deserve. Another great vid !!! Thanks again
She's not human. Nor was her husband. Looking at his eyes in that photo that kept being shown, he was completely devoid of empathy. I'm glad those girls didn't stay around him. They weren't safe.
She was chaos incarnating, destroying everything she touched.
Satan's mistress...pure evil.
Jeff was another victim. It was all jessica
@@annemcmillen5447 lmao jeff was not a victim.
Monstrous actions of the perps aside, this case is also a pretty damning indictment against the custody/family court system and how deeply broken it is. If the shoe was on the other foot and Alan had attempted even half of what Jessica did, he'd have been locked up for life without parole on contempt, kidnapping, and a myriad of other charges.
But...but...muh patriarchy?
Absolutely, family court is a revenue generator it's not about Children's Rights to relationship bonds with both parents, preserving sibling attachments equally, or protecting their very short but very influential childhoods.
Absolutely! They'd have nailed his...to the wall if he'd have pulled half of that crap.
@Strawberry’s Shortest cake Yes
@Strawberry’s Shortest cake Guess you didn't think that through. I guess it isn't much of a patriarchy if it doesn't benefit and prioritize fathers. The patriarchy myth is such bullshit.
This story is heartbreaking. How would anyone ever think they would get away with this crime?! Your ability to tell these stories keeps me hooked every time, I am a true crime fanatic so your videos have become a staple in my everyday listening. Thank you for such good content. Also, “cuz murder makes you hungry” made me lose it 😂.
Well said.

If only they were that way with Dylan Redwine...
It's like a fetus pickled in hobo piss
Same way when going after a dead beat dad for child support
@@Alex-tt9mj Yeah, I wonder how that played out. I remember there was a case here in The People's Republic of Canada where the amount the ex-husband was told to pay was more than his entire income due to various stupidities.
If it didn't hit the news, I suppose he might have been jailed for "refusing" to pay.
There is a certain quality of his narration that is really unique. I also really love the Somewhere Sinister series. I've been recommending this channel as well as Somewhere Sinister to several of my confirmed true crime weirdos.
Copy that.

Thank you for being respectful for the victims. They don't deserve to die this way. RIP🙏
I am so pissed at this woman and heartbroken for the dead couple and their kids that missed the opportunity to grow up with two clearly awesome nice artists. All just cauz of someone's undying grudge.
The fact that women can be abusive to their spouse, boyfriend, brother etc. shouldn't be a new revelation but somehow it is. Usually men in that situation are afraid to report it because of embarrassment. The fact that there are no shelters for men, even men with children, is ridiculous.Courts are notorious for awarding custody to the mother without proper vetting. The ultimate solution is to provide the assistance they need to escape a harmful relationship.
Men feel can't speak up (it would be unmanly)I with this story and Johnny Depp case.
@@carrieleonard4428 it's really not an ego thing. Women don't do the same prison sentences men do and women will turn a friend group on you faster than anything.

@@carrieleonard4428 who believes us when we do speak up?
@@Thor-Orion other men who survived, the same would believe just like battered and raped women, believed each other and had to create avenues for escape, healing, housing, legislation etc.
And it's not finger pointing, js lots of outsiders would position themselves to predate or use, a victim demographic or just are preoccupied with their own burdens (like wards of the state growing up and creating needs based programs, from experience examples could go on & on)
Maybe men should pick each other up more? I know I've tried to save a few men from horrific women and honestly they seemed more receptive, to other men maybe more able to be vulnerable (outside of intimate connections)
The way you deliver your story's is unique and never fails to draw in the listeners. Thanks for he time and efforts you u put in.
Bird in the hand. Toad in the hole?
@Toad In the hole
Toad In the hole = Yummy!😂😂😂
The sarcasm peppered into the narration is much appreciated. You always seem to say it right when I'm thinking the same thing. Like stopping at Subway bc they worked up an appetite murdering the father of her children. Right?! 🤦♀️😳
Furthermore..he MIScounted the shells? Seriously? You had ONE job!!
I feel so bad for the kids, the manipulation was horrendous. I know what it’s like to be excited for your parent to pick you up but the never show, I can’t understand ever making my children feel that pain
On Purpose!!! She did that to those babies on purpose and repeatedly!!!
Yes I agree.. I too am not lost on the effects of parents who choose to abuse their children by using them as ‘ chess pieces’…. In their pathetic attempts to destroy each other.
They do so with TOTAL disregard of the many lifelong issues their actions create for their children!….
If you are getting divorced.. please let your children decide whether or not they want to continue their relationship with their parents?… and Don’t try shaming them for their decisions…
Remember you the adults are getting a divorce.. not them… they still love and need BOTH parents!!.. and if they don’t want contact.. for any reason… you owe it to them to support that too!?!
It’s not about you and your partner… it’s about a child loving their parents… so money.. fidelity… etc… none of that matters .. not to a child!!…. Love is all that matters to a child!♥️
After all… they are not going through a divorce in the same way as a parent might.. infact they have chosen none of it.. so be the better person.. it’s hard at times… but long term it will pay dividend.. because as they grow up.. they will then able see , understand and evaluate the bigger picture!♥️
Love your name tho
I can’t imagine what this has done to her daughters. I sincerely hope Alan’s parents put them in therapy.
Jeff was a police officer, how dull could he be to not have suggested submitting the evidence of abuse to the police for an investigation. He would have realised that Jessica was lying. Him and Jessica were evil, absolute evil!
Most cops aren't too smart. That's by design brother
Exactly. More blame was put on this woman than the actual civil servant trained to uphold THE LAW.
Accountability is nowhere to be found for the dude who ACTUALLY KILLED THEM.
I saw an interview with Jeff on Snapped and he was a moron. Spoke slowly like he was slow and didn't seem too sharp. I don't think he was going to go far in his career even if he didn't commit this murder.
@@azureavocado5195 He's serving 2 life sentences?
@@TheMattTrakker Since he was the pawn, he pled guilty and got fifteen to life. His first application for parole was in 2017, but he was denied. But Jessica has no chance of parole. She will die in prison.
When Jessica, announced to the other inmates that Jeff, was a police officer, I hope he realized what a mistake he made and he's now sorry for it. I hope Alan's daughters, grow up in a safe place and become nothing like their mother.
She certainly is a monster! With so many ex spouses out there that don't care about having a relationship with their kids, she should have been grateful but she was a true narcissist and everything was about her in her mind. There's no fixing people like her.
My husband's ex is a violent, insecure and abusive woman who didn't allow my husband to see his son. His kid is now 10 and they have no idea how to talk to each other. My husband was scared to ask her to allow him to see his own son, as per custody order, because she was so violent. Luckily the kid is older now and my husband has regained self-esteem, but I can't help but notice how his blood pressure rises as soon as she enters the picture. Nobody believed him when he was being abused and battered, just because he's a guy. Disgusting aspect of our society.
it sounds like you are a great partner for him. :)
This attitude is demonstrated by the fact that there are literally 100s of battered women's shelters and NOT 1 for battered men. Believe me, I have looked.
@@dragonmaster9360 yep. I'm a DV shelter volunteer and we aren't allowed to house women wgo have sons over the age of 13. (Safety and historically reasoning as well) I use to tell them to find a men's shelter for him. There was literally none in the entire state. But that's not women's fault....
That's probably because battered husbands are so rare ?...people would probably sit outside laughing at the guys

Thanks for bringing us a new case that I’ve never heard before! You’re the best storyteller!!!
Jeff is the classic useful idiot.
She resorted to damage the life and reputation of her second husband whose name is Scott as per the narrator who had to pay for child support and it was beyond his capability and since he failed to pay for it he was being jailed Wow
Such awesome story telling, thank you.
Boggles my mind how people think they can get away with murder doing such a sloppy job trying to cover it up. Dangerous, evil and DUMB.
This is heartbreaking and a complete failure by the justice system, specifically the judge. She should have never been given custody and had proven time and time again as to why. It's a shame they both get to sit in prison on the taxpayers dime for God knows how long. If you don't believe people like this should be sentenced to death then I only hope your family never has to deal with what Alan and Tara's family's had to.
To b honest all these stories have that failure by the justice system common denominator
Lemme tell you, when someone does 5:00, it is NOT "sweet" or romantic, no matter what Hollywood tells you. It is obsessive and a blazing red flag! If someone cannot let you have time to be with other people; if they have to impose themselves on you and monopolize your time even when you've agreed to see them at their allotted time, that says that they don't believe in your agency, and that is a problem.
This story is why I absolutely hate insecure people. They are incredibly dangerous. I'd take my chances with a gang member over an insecure person because an insecure person will drain your mental health and then take your life with no regret. A lot of them also cheat.
A gang member will cheat on you just out of principle. What kind of gang member doesn’t cheat? 😂
@@goudagrishhdoe8925 It was only an example...🤦♀️😁

Jiles, thank you for sharing your passion with us!
Consistent advocacy for the survivors of domestic abuse is the only way we will see a future where children aren't saddled with trauma.
Man, these episodes just get better and better! And the opening of this one really had my itching for more of the story. Great job! Lifetime fan here!
People like her walk unknown among us. Never enable/validate them, because that is what they thrive on.
As a kid who was heavily abused throughout almost all of my childhood (diagnosed PTSD some years ago, permanent nerve damage from the assaults), that stays with you BUT is NOT an excuse to become abusive yourself to your partner, you need to break the cycle of abuse! Knowing she went through a childhood somewhat similar to mine, one filled with violence and misery, where mine was my mother who encouraged and enabled my brothers physical violence towards me, and was forced to bring him up as if I was his parent, she was extremely negligent, but I made the effort a long time ago to never be anything like my mother or brother.
I went through PTSD specific therapy after being diagnosed, I learned healthy coping mechanisms, I worked through the anger issues I had and found ways to work through that, I learned to stop and think about what I was doing, because as a teen I got into a lot of legal trouble (minor dumb stuff) because I eventually cracked under all the pressure of being a child bringing up another child, who was regularly beaten, psychologically abused, constantly neglected, I reached a breaking point and started acting out, so much so that I ended up in prison for 6 weeks (I think prison here in Scotland is Jail in the USA?), where after I saw it as the gift it was, that at 17 I had my life ahead of me, so I worked for a couple of years, got in touch with young person charities and got their help because by 19 the violence was getting worse and worse where I was hospitalised several times from head injuries. I escaped that situation with the help of young person charities who found me semi-sheltered accommodation.
Know what I did? I sure as hell didn’t continue that cycle of abuse, I spoke to the social workers honestly about my anger issues, that I struggled, what had happened to me, and that I wanted to be nothing like my family, that I needed help. So they found me help, and through time I got diagnosed with cPTSD and PTSD, learnt coping mechanisms, got medicated for my PTSD, got help with the permanent nerve damage (worsened over the years due to the extent so mostly bedridden now, which sucks, but I’m happy in life now!), and got further help with PTSD specific therapy.
You break the cycle of abuse, you make sure it ends with you, you make sure you end up NOTHING like your parents, that you NEVER take it out on your partner. If you have issues like being clingy/codependent then you gotta be honest about that (because even I couldn’t deal with that), you gotta be upfront about your issues so you and your partner can work together as a team! You gotta communicate, you can’t just use your childhood as an excuse to then become an abuser, you have to end the cycle of abuse because you otherwise pass that onto your kids, and that stuff leaves permanent damage.

@@pewpewenthusiast1607 Same. I usually love these episodes, but this one was just rage-inducing.
You've got this thing down sir. Every show is well produced and narrated. Always great pictures and footage. Bravo!
That's pretty scary that the fire captain couldn't identify human remains. I hope he hasn't dismissed any other bodies he's come across!
I'm sure in a small town in a rural area, he doesn't come across dead bodies burnt in the trunk very often
Right!?! We put a lot of faith in titles.. we think "he's the captain so he must know a lot more then everyone else" when in reality he could of got that job cause he had been there longer then everyone else. It doesn't mean he has the skill set to match the title.
@@m.ccheddarbox874 You do know what a fireman is supposed to dont you?
He is a fireman not the police, they get called out to these to make those calls. He is there to put fires out, you people and your nonsense!
I was thinking the same thing, like literally... A car is engulfed in flames and you think the bodies in the TRUNK of a SEDAN are large animals? Like wow. Like, yup. Just some random large animals in the trunk of a burned out car. Nothing unusual at all.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every single day I’m so grateful my parents’ divorce was free of any custody battles and both were mature enough to put the kids first.
Thanks for all your hard work Jiles.. it’s really appreciated.. you do an excellent job with telling these stories, by respecting the victims and
injecting the right amount of disbelief and snark for the perpetrators who deserve so much worse..
thank you 😊
Is his name really Jiles? I don't think that's even a name.
@@muhklungky6855 There's a comedian in the UK called Gyles Brandreth. He's a posh cunt but he's good on Just a Minute.
Out of everything that Allen went through, Tara as well, it hurts my heart the most that they were sitting on the couch, probably excited, to see his daughters do a little play,some thing they were both passionate about, Jeff is the absolute definition of being pussy whooped, because he was a cop, he knew what’s what, women can be monsters too🤬case in point, hope to see more women monsters, I watch a lot of deadly women & there’s a lot out there,,,,,,happy fourth to you and yours, hope all is well✌🏻💕
Watching a lot of these crime documentaries has forever buried whatever faith I might have once had in law enforcement. Jeff is the standard for these pigs. Freaking Jeff.
I hadn't thought about how his kids had gotten his love theater. That certainly does add an extra element of sadness how his eyes must've been lit up waiting to see this little play and Tara too having the same hobby and being in love with him and looking forward to a deeper connection with him and his kids.
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 Because one police officer did something bad then that means all police officers have to be as well?. That's illogical and ridiculous.
Funny you say that. Jessica's story was also on _Deadly Women_ years ago.
This story is infuriating. I’m so glad it fell apart quickly & this senseless tragedy was solved. Jessica & Jeff are the biggest pieces of shit going...all because a father fought hard for his girls. May they Rest In Peace & those children find some sort of healing...
I hate women like this. It’s the highest level of selfish
Unpopular opinion: Alan should have cut his losses, wish the girls the best, go as far away from Jessica as possible, do just enough to stay out of jail, and start a brand new family with Tara. That would have been better for him. Jessica was a canker, and she was only going to poison those girls against him no matter what he did.
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 I couldn’t agree with you more. When his girls got old enough to understand, he could then explain himself & jessicas behavior would’ve been apparent. It’s just so tragic it took a left & then went south
✌🏽
RIP to all the murdered unwanted lives she willingly spread her legs to create; they served her no purpose but evil.
@@CherryPi314 in 99.9% of situations like this he would have been able to get custody even if jessica fought it tooth and nail, and would have probably let her visit if she would be civil or get her in legal trouble if she tried to take the kids, weird victim blaming to act like he should have known he could be in mortal danger
@@luvcherry The court gave her back custody over and over. So maybe in this instance, where she'd perjured herself, missed multiple appearances and failed to follow guidelines, they MAY have given him custody. However, family court is so biased in favor of women, I wouldn't have been that surprised if they didn't award him full custody.
“Because Murder makes you hungry sorry but that was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣”
How maddening & heartbreaking.
I love your channel & how you always tell these horrific stories with respect & compassion. It's also great to share these stories to shone a light on these cases for the victims/families. How sad.
Jealousy is dangerous and & especially with an unstable spouse.
So horrible 🤦🏻♀️🙇♀️😭
RIP Angel's 🕊🧸🌾❤❤
God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊💞💞
The amount of research you must do on a regular basis and your attention to detail is astounding!
This is one of your best ones in a long time. The intro was better joined to the rest of the story. The prior vids weren't bad, I'm just saying this one is better.
Yeah, it was a really good and enticing set up to the video
When my ex husband and I divorced after 20 years of marriage, we decided that if we had something to say, we would only say it to each other. We stuck to that. It’s been 18 years and neither of us tried to make the other look bad. He paid child support. He had a very thriving business, I did not sue for half of his business. He took excellent financial care of the children as well as being there for them. It was enough for me that he made sure al of their needs and most of their wants were taken care. When our marriage was over, it was over. It’s was none of this calling each other every 5 minutes, or worrying about what the other one was doing. We both loved our children and did our best to be the very best parents we could be. This getting even business is selfish. It does not benefit the children at all. She should be so ashamed of her actions.
@@BillSams-zq3iu Yes please😊
Whoa! Thought I knew this story....then you pulled the rug out from under me. Evil! Jessica's actions are horrendous from the start and just get worse and she throws her one defender, Jeff, under the bus almost literally. Geeze! To bad we can't issue child birth licenses and restrain the Jessicas of the world. One of your best episodes so far. Thanks so much
I thought the same thing. Jessica’s of the world shouldn’t have children! In fact I don’t like eugenics, but in her case I think it’s a good idea. 🙇🏾♂️
Hi there, it's The Grammar Polive! Jessicas doesn't need an apostrophe!😋 Hate me! Sorry!
@@ktcooki276 they were Jessica's actions inferring possession there for it's proper as in this sentence also. Your fired.
If you put (the) in front it would be Jessicas. Haha! We are being a bit petty aren't we. Sorry ☆
@@ericastapleton7042 the action belongs to Jessica. Possibly you learned English In a foreign country
I'm only a third of the way through the video but I wanted to stop and tell you that this one is your best by far. I thought I knew this case inside and out and you still reported details that I hadn't heard of. Either your researching is top notch, or you're a master at uncovering information, or both but this video is a prime example of why I'm still a subscriber 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Jeff was denied parole in 2017. Jessica who divorced him soon after being convicted has returned to using the last name of the husband she murdered.
I remember this case. Be choosy with whom you create children with. It’s in everybody’s best interest…esp the children’s.
Thank you for sharing these stories with us. You are always so respectful to the victims. Subbed to something sinister too. Can't wait to see where you will take us💛
How do you always present cases that I've never heard of!?!
Very well put together, straight to the point, a little sarcasm/humor thrown in with class... Great channel 👌🏼
At 13:55 when you talk about the mother lying to her child, making the child sit there waiting for their father to show up when she knows damn well there was no plan for him to show up that day; this is what happened to my dad. My fathers ex poisoned his son into hating him based off of these lies! If you are are woman please NEVER do this.
Sorry to hear that. sadly i don't think any person being capable of that feels any remorse vor thinks twice about doing something like this. It's like pleading to water not being that wet.
Parents that do this stuff obviously don’t view their children as fellow human beings with feelings.. they view their children as possessions. They only feelings they care about are the other parents feelings & hoping they can hurt them
It’s so fucked up
Sir you have an art with narrating your stories. I could listen to you no stop which I do. Please don’t ever stop what you’re doing. I just love you .
These judges they love putting these kids in the home where the mother is completely unstable just because she is a mother and they're supposed to always know what's best for the kid or kids🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Agree 💯%
CPS is trash. Not just for that, but because they lack empathy for children. It's just a 9 to 5 to them.
It happens with unstable/abusive men too! Most abusers know how to manipulate the courts. The courts don't do what is best for the children most of the time! A parent's right outweighs what is in the best interest of the children.
This case points out how dysfunctional our family court system is. She had a pattern of non compliance and they suspended her jail time?! Alan should have had full custody.
By dysfunctional, you mean biased towards women. It needs to change
You really put the effort into giving truthful information about the people & surrounding facts in each of these cases. Thank you !!
"I mean if he had simply just let her deny his rights to see his children, none of this would have happened, right?!?"
Ohhh, Mr Monsters, your delivery was absolutely peak cynical humor!!! 👏🔥
This narrator is a truly amazing storyteller.
Dude you have seriously one of the best channels on YT. I love all you do and your hard work is greatly appreciated!!!!
Oooo! This one was SO good! I felt like this one was really in depth and I enjoyed your quirky sarcasm too! It definitely helped as this was a really sad case! Thanks as always for the amazing content! :)
Holy Smokes, it’s hard to get my head around how evil, petty, vindictive and dangerous 1 person can be, to be able to cause just misery and havocs through revenge and jealousy. How she was able to sway a cop to her participate in murder through her lies really showed clearly the depths of her being’s unrelenting narcissism. I really felt sorry for Alan who she sucked into her dark abyss of hate and revenge that knew of no bounds. I’m completely astonished her lawyer didn’t play the “ mental health card “ at her double - murder trial and I was really high eyebrowed when she and her cop husband didn’t receive Capital Punishment when they surely deserved no less than that. My husband and I have known each other for over 20 years and have been married for for 18 years and it is truly beyond my comprehension that a human being could do something so beyond horrific to anyone, let alone the loving responsible father of your children. Alan was happy in his life and it ate at her like cancer, a contagious cancer she spread into to her cop husband who unfortunately was as sick as she was. They are both where they belong, far away from society even though they preyed upon their own. Heartbreaking for the families of Alan and his sweet wife, especially Alan’s children who now live forever live in shadows of what their own mother and step - father did while not giving a penny’s thought what it would do to them as they move towards their futures.
I’m originally from birmingham. I know all of the places mentioned in this story…but I’d never heard the story. Well done!
Those poor kids sitting on the porch while their mother is inside rubbing her hands together saying haha…
I really enjoy your story telling ❤️
RIP Tara and Alan💔
I know her, personally. Met in prison . Evil personified
Using psychological warfare on your children is infuriating. But kids know the difference between a parent and a monster. They may be fooled at times, but overall they know.
Really unfortunate for Alan this happened so long ago. In 2022, with the explosion of the “true crime analysis” genre on UA-cam…if I was dealing with someone like Jessica, I would immediately foresee myself being on a future episode of “This is Monsters”.
Love your shows & really appreciate your time & attention to details!
I love when I find a channel that has great content and a clear understandable narrator.👍🤘
I absolutely love the way you tell us about these monsters. You keep me on the edge of my seat. I've always been a silent watcher until this story. Thank you. ♥️🌹
My first comment: the intro put me at the scene looking and seeing the whole picture... I LOVE THE WAY YOU NARRATE! I know you are thinking, you say that all the time, yes but I do love it! I can see the trees ( 😔 ) smoldering, blackened and the charred white car everything... please do NOT ever change the way you take the time to take our brains and set them right there at the scenes. FANTASTIC ABSOLUTELY 💯 % FANTASTIC! Especially for sensitive people who can envision words into worlds. I hope when you're 100 years old, you're still narrating, literally Hollywood should hire you periodt to narrate ALL narrations, you make the mind see, not just the eyes. 🤗
What a wonderful surprise,was not expecting a video today,being a holiday and all.....thank you Jiles 🙏🏽🙌🏽
It's not a livestream 🤭
True crime doesn’t take holidays off…
@@thisisMONSTERS Thank you for this today☆
@@joannahampton5979 really.....who knew🙄
So very sad, they looked so happy together. And poor children. Some people are just not worthy of being parents.
Finally a decent length episode. These are always too short. Love the longer shows. Thank you!
Love both of your channels! I listen to them while crafting and making homemade cards!
A bad woman can destroy a good man's life and vice versa
And their poor childrens' lives.
"you know, a normal saturday morning." These little hunks of gold keep me coming back. Peace.
Damn this woman was a real POS for brainwashing her own kids like that. Making them believe their father was on the way to pick them up just to disappoint them when he never came.
It’s not just brainwashing. It’s out and out abuse.
I went to school with both Alan and Jessica. Alan was the best. A real stand up guy. Who always tried to the right thing. He was a great person and friend. I was horrified when i heard about this. Words can't describe! Such a wonderful soul, Alan was wouldn't hurt a fly.
This woman isn’t just evil, she isn’t just selfish, she isn’t just arrogant she is just plain stupid. Everything she and her new husband did before, during and after these cowardly murders screams “ We did it “. come arrest us! You couldn’t make up this kind of bungling crime, people wouldn’t believe it. And two precious children now have no parents and live with the fact they’re mother killed their father.
I spin my weenis around like a propeller while I fart
It boggles my mind that anyone would think killing someone (aside from self defense) is a solution. In this day and age of advanced forensic science will all but guarantee you will get caught.
When you’re such a nightmare your own lawyer won’t help you 💀
Nothing like staying up till midnight to get the new episode ✨

My dad Mike Southerland is one of the guys who found that car.We lived about 2 miles from where the car was found.
This is heartbreaking for for the victims and families of such cruelty. Terra seemed like such a nice lady, and probably only died because she was bringing happiness to Allan. Wondering what happened to the daughters after this and hoping they have the inner strength and support to overcome this horror, and that they are not manipulated by the savage lies they were told about their Dad by a monster.
I’m a Birmingham, AL native and my Mother actually knew Alan from her days working for the Director of the Alabama Ballet. Alan was frequently in contact with them due to the Alabama Theatre association. I knew the (now deceased) former Executive Director of the Alabama Theatre who was good friends with Alan. Both he and my Mother only had wonderful things to say about Alan. He was a kind, hardworking, friendly, responsible man who tragically got mixed up with the wrong woman. I am overjoyed that Jessica and Jeff are in prison for life and I hope they are haunted every single day by what they did, but something tells me they’re such monsters that aren’t capable of redemption. So sad for those daughters who are now grown. I hope they are doing as well as possible under the circumstances. Great coverage of this case!
I doubt they'll be haunted. Jeff all but said the only thing he felt was recoil, and Jessica is likely still trying to tell anyone who will listen about how it's everyone's fault but hers
“Driving to a chicken show”…
I immediately thought, “As you do”.
This was new to me. Thank you. The closing was jaw dropping.Wow.
I’ve never regretted my decision to be childfree. Dodged so much drama.
99% of the time it's not anything close to this. Even in cases of separation or divorce the people I know still work out time sharing with the kid and don't want to deprive them of a mother,/father unless they're dangerous or insane
@@BacklTrack I disagree. My stepfather beat me for ten years and I was finally removed and taken to foster care at FOURTEEN because the last time he whipped me with his belt the bruises lasted two weeks. It’s not all fine by a long shot.
Agreed Tonya! Def.!
Yup
One and done and if something happened if I were widowed. I would just stay that way
People like this is why we cannot have nice things.
WOW! She was a real POS! Most men would have easily given up on their children due to her hate and shear vengeance to keep the children away from their father OR filed for full custody based on her instability and her hatred for those same lies against him... she is bat s h i t crazy! Those evil monsters deserve to be right where they are.
Wow! Why did it me so long to connect the burned car to Alan? I’ve never heard this story. You did a great job covering it. Just wow.
"You murdered and torched two people, you're never gonna see that baby again.." lmao
I'm truly amazed at what people get up to, and how far things go before they are either stopped, or things get very bad. It shouldn't get this far! All of that craziness over childcare and support would have driven me around the bend early on. What a sad story. Terrible people.
She's so toxic you could get sick just standing next to her. She's living proof that some people are inherently rotten
