      And also.. There is an 8 year old unsolved case that's been having a lot of movement within the past few days with an arrest if you're interested. It's the case if missing mother Crystal Rogers from Bardstown Kentucky. ❤

    Personally I am disgusted Kelly only got 9 years, woman or not, she had a equal if not greater motivation to murder her "rival". 26 to 52 years really does seem fair, given that's enough of their life behind bars to outlive the best years of their life, but give them long enough in a society that ought to be alien to them. Those narrciests deserve the absolute worst.
    My thoughts go to Mellisa however and as always, your delivery on the individual who ought to be the centre of every case is incredible. Thank you as always!

    A month ago, in Bosnia, a bodybuilder killed his unwed wife and livestreamed her murder on his Instagram, having support from his deranged followers. After killing her, he went on a rampage and killed two more (son and father with whom he had dispute) with an intention to kill as many as possible, before ultimately killing himself. His unwed wife, together with their baby, was hiding from him after reporting his death threats to the police and when they did nothing, they didn't issue a restraining order nor offer her protection, she went into hiding, to her aunt. He found her, beat her severely and disfigured and killed her with a gunshot. Her last words were to her aunt: "Auntie, help."
    Rumors had it that he, despite hating the police, was in a relationship with a police woman who allegedly tipped him her address because he wouldn't have known where she was hiding otherwise.

If Kelly Ryan had left that loser, all of this would have been avoided, but abuse victims usually cannot see straight.

    How could the couple believe it was a good idea to set fire to the victim in the trunk of their own car? They might as well have left their ID cards on the scene. It seems very unfair that Kelly is free after only nine years. Every murder is a horrible crime, but this one seems particularly pointless since Melissa was no threat to the couple. Even if jealousy was the motivating factor, Melissa was about to leave the next day. 😥

A 2015 study showed women were 46 percent less likely than men to held in jail prior to a trial. Their bonds were set at amounts that were 54 percent lower than what men were required to pay. 58 percent less likely to be sentenced to prison, etc.

    Heyy Adrian I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. Your storytelling skills are truly impressive, and I love how you manage to keep me engaged and entertained throughout each video. The way you include personal anecdotes and experiences really makes a difference in connecting with your audience on a deeper level. Your authenticity shines through, and it's refreshing to see someone being their true self on camera.

    Craig most likely had more time added to his sentence due to him attempting to put a hit out on three people and the police finding out about it. That's probably why he was in prison much longer than his ex-wife.
    BUT....
    In my humble opinion, they shouldn't ever be paroled or released from prison at all because they literally murdered someone! Why should they get to pick up and continue on with their lives when they stole that privilege from someone else(and in a horrificly brutal and unnecessarily violent way)?!?

    I was a fitness blogger at the height of Kelly Ryan’s career and I still have a workout video that features her as one of the lead instructor’s side trainers! So I was horrified years later when this case hit the news. She and her husband were literal rock stars in the fitness world. It’s sickening what they did. That poor woman they killed. I agree - Kelly should still be behind bars and I have a suspicion that she is the one primarily responsible for Melissa’s murder.

    Cases like this is exactly why people would run from my grandma. She'd loud evil doers out, in public. Should they be so brave as to show themselves.
    She cleared out one third attending the auction, at the auction house before we'd made the threshold. They were scurrying out the side door. Granny called it her power. We all have that power, to make evil doers run away and not show themselves in public.
    She had the dirt on everybody in town. Her husband was a corrections officer at state pen.

    It’s interesting that Craig didn’t get charged for conspiracy to commit murder when he was already incarcerated trying to spearhead a 3 pronged murder scheme of the individuals who testified against him? And if he WAS brought up conspiracy to commit murder X 3 this was simply brushed over by Adrian saying “This scheme was thwarted by police and in the end, no one was harmed”

    While Kellys sentence does seem to light, she likely got out for good behavior (which I don't agree with) But you can't say Craig solicited a hit out on 3 people that testified against him and then follow that up with, "Why is his sentence so much more harsher than hers" They likely hit him with those 3 counts or at least they were marks against him because that's not good behavior.
