Remember everyone, my twin sisters story is far from over! We are still having a civil trial so that all the facts come out. And if our theory is correct, there is WAY more to this case! Our lawyer doesn't want us saying much more but we will keep people updated as more comes out. One thing I can say, the POS is refusing to participate in the civil trial and hiding facts. Judge fined him $5,000 so far.
And please join me in remembering Kasey....our birthday is five days away (May 25th), we were Gemini.
I just watched this episode. Belated happy birthday! I believe you'll win your case and hope that monster rots and dies in prison as he deserves!! God bless you and your mother and family. Keep your sister's memory alive!
So sorry for your loss. I have experienced a very traumatic loss on my birthday and since then I have a very hard time when people say happy birthday and I have begged people not to wish me a happy birthday and I have a saying that just because the phrase is happy birthday, it doesn't mean everyone's birthday is a happy one😢 💔 I try to be more cautious of feelings and although I'm not sure if that's the case with you so I send my condolences in place. I am just seeing your comments and this episode of 48hrs but I have seen your sisters case elsewhere and I have never been able to shake the feeling and always felt like the live-in girlfriend knew and was involved. I truly wish you and your family the best possible healing and I hope to see more justice and the right outcome from the civil trial.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm in WA state too, about two hours north of you. I hope you're able to get justice.
❤ 🙏
Ma`am I do not know anything concerning your case, but I see the replies you have here and I imagine it is about as bad as it can be. I know that nothing will bring your sis back, but maybe the piece of filth guilty of her death will never be free to harm anyone again. I have a hard time with the term "justice" because it is just a word. The hole in you does not close, so justice is nothing more than a word. I think Morgan Freeman said it all in "The Shawshank Redemption". It is a word for you young hotshots to put in your files so you can do your jobs, but rehabilitated is just your fancy little word in your fancy little world. He did not say "justice" but I think you know what I am saying. Hey, I am a Gemini too! So we have that! All the best to you, and I do not say the "I`m sorry for your loss" crap. Those are just words too. And they fall short of any truth.
He should have had a vasectomy if he felt so strongly about kids. No amount of precaution is 100% foolproof
There was no proof it was his child.

I love how the detectives really never give up

I just want to slap that stupid smirk off his disgusting face at court😡 Such an evil monster.
No mother should have to go experience this. My deepest condolences to the family🙏🏾🥺
Her mom broke my heart, that's a lady who's drowning in grief and can barely breathe but keeps trying to smile through it.
Same here. She made me feel her pain. Bless her 😢
I'm a mom of six, and three of my kids are around Kassandra's age. They also like a lot of the same things, and are quirky and fun. I'm literally crying after seeing her mom try to get her words out. Her brother's beautiful tribute to her had me in tears as well.
I lost my older sister unexpectedly from complications from surgery. It is something that makes recovering from her death impossible. My husband and I have lost many family members, but mostly to natural causes. When someone dies due to the fault of another, it's very hard. In this case, the act is so deliberate, and the justice isn't there. They should have given him life without parole. I don't think anyone on a jury, listening to this evidence, would ever think he was innocent.
She was a sweet daughter got her momma things I'm sad already 1 min in
I whole heartedly agree
She’s so sweet, my heart also breaks for her
Not sure why the police didn’t understand why he turned off his phone but kept hers on. He wanted the towers to ping her phone as he drove to the train station, impersonating her. He sat there at the bench for a few min to pretend like “she” was waiting for the train. It’s the whole reason why he parked his car in the lot near the station, so he could drive home once he’s done impersonating her movements.
Commenters would make better detectives.
I kind of thought the same, but if his theory was to throw them off by making them think she jumped on a train, why then drive her phone out to the beach & toss it, still on? I then thought, maybe he wanted to make it look like she jumped over the cliff, but she'd have driven her car there, not the train station. It's possible he's just plain stupid. A stupid narcissistic psychopath.
I thought the same thing. He wanted it to look like her traveling. He just didn’t account for the cameras.
Exactly my thought. Not the first time a murderer „impersonated“ their victim by driving their phone around either.
I agree, if he had wanted to pretend he was at home the whole time, he could have left his phone on and in his house...
Cassandra’s mom seems like such a lovely lady. I imagine she would have been amazing grandmother for her little baby she didn’t get to hold. 😢😢😢
The look in his eyes while posing in his orange suit 😱
And his face in the courtroom 😱
That creature is in rage , insane rage.
He should never ever walk free under the sun again.
With his chin up because hes so proud of himself
@@georgemonde8237 That's what I thought, he didn't look enraged to me, he looked pleased with himself. I guess he has reason, he got a slap on the wrist for murdering a pregnant woman.
What did she see in those eyes???
(shivers)
@@AnnaMorris411 Evil is what she saw in his eyes! Oh it makes me shiver. Poor Kassandra. 😢 To even think about how he premeditated her demise knowing that she was pregnant. He didn't have to get rid of what he saw as a problem for his life. I feel sure that Kassandra would have been just fine without his help, and a great mother to her baby.😢
I'd like 10 free shots to his face. The smirky, smug, underbite chin in the air (I have an underbite, so I can tease his) makes him the most disgusting human being I've seen in a long time. It's sad that the plea bargain raises his ego, he isn't smart or clever. Pretty stupid, so why this wasn't a strong case blows my mind. If I was a jury member, that would be enough for me.
Seeing her twin brother fulfilling the dream that him and his sister had by opening up that store and having a beautiful mural of her there, I just started bawling.
It's said that losing your twin is losing part of yourself. Losing Kassanndra affected so many people.

twins are like born married. Imagine being widowed, that's the survivor twin, but worse. We wonder why we didn't die too.
@@hstteacher ?
What a profound example of prosecutorial incompetence and laziness. My heart goes out to Kassandras mother and brother. I also wonder how the prosecution can sleep at night.
They couldn’t make their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors love to see criminals get justice. They only let criminals plea out if they can’t secure a guilty verdict. It’s 26 years or zero for an acquittal bc not enough information/evidence could be obtained. Which is it? Who ever thinks that a judgment/sentencing fits the crime? Yeah, no huh?
I was surprised in Washington state he would do more than a few years, they seem to have no respect for law and order.
Can you imagine? Wanting to be a father LESS than wanting to be a murderer?
Wow.
RIP
And what's so sad is that Kassanndra would totally have let him dip out. She just wanted to tell him what was going on because he had a right to know. So, so sad.
It’s not about not wanting to be a father, it’s all about the child support.
@@ogadlogadl490 Those dads and moms that went to get milk and never came back had the right idea.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 where did you get that info? Her friend in the episode said that Kassanndra thought he was becoming accepting of the situation and went to his house optimistic about it. How exactly is a person optimistic that someone will be a deadbeat dad who never speaks to them again? I don't believe that's an "optimistic" outcome, so someone is lying. Why would her friend lie about her?
Happens! And women still think it’s ok to get pregnant by murderers
This must be a joke. He murdered a pregnant mother and he got only 26 years.The justice system is completely broken.
It’s so bizarre. Ppl get longer sentences for armed robbery sometimes.
Washington has a judicial system crisis at the moment. Blame a lot of it on the governor, for demanding a reduction in spending at the corrections level. As a result, they're reducing the amount of time prisoners get as well as the giving percentages off time served, then factor in parole. They created this mess.
@Mjdemon Or drugs. It's ridiculous!
Liberalism. It’s a Leftist state. In Florida, he’d be on death row.

I‘m super impressed about the detective work.
The sweet things her mom said about her and the way her brother and friends honored her memory when they spoke of Kassanndra... that got me. 🥺💔
My cousin got 25 years for being a look out in a robbery when he was 16. No one was hurt and all the money was recovered. He did 20 years & 90 days. And had a stroke holding his daughter. A year after he came home. This is insane. This dude killed the mother of his child.
That's so sad. He didn't deserve that
And he killed his own child!
Sad😢.
Yeah, my brother in law stole a purse and a car from someone's house when he was like 19, non violent first offense and got 25 years. His brother, my boyfriend of 18 years was murdered in 2019 and the guy got a plea deal for 13 years and already just went up for parole a few weeks ago. The murderer's dad who bought him the illegal gun he used got 6 months.
I’m so sorry
This one REALLY hits different. The way he threw her away like trash. Just tossed her and his unborn child down a ravine, and then got 26 years??? WTF is wrong with the legal system?? That poor girl and her family. Rest in Peace Kassandra ❤
It’s a blue state. They have no justice system there.
Sick sick people. I don't trust ANYONE. It's crazy to live like this

26 years for brutally murdering a mother and her baby? That's a disgrace and the main reason I hate "plea deals", They should never be an option for crimes like this. Give him life and when he dies, cremate him and throw the ashes in the trash. He planned everything and destroyed a family, and for what, because he didn't want to be a dad? Absolutely Heartbreaking.
Both him and his robot girlfriend. She gave me the creeps! She definitely knew what he was doing.
If he was black he would've gotten life with no parole.

Doesn’t even matter for what exactly. He did what he did. And he must be in prison for life
Kassanndra's mother is a lovely woman. Despite her daughter's horrible death I wish her all the best.
The prosecutors in Kassandra's case failed her family.They had enough evidence to put him away. They just didn't want to go to trial. shame on them!
Maybe they realized that in the liberal, often bleeding heart Seattle/Puget Sound area, they could not guarantee this killer being found guilty, and/or getting any sort of prison time. Maybe they figured a plea deal that guaranteed some prison time was the better option.
This is some of the strongest circumstantial evidence I’ve ever seen, they should have let it go to trial. On the other hand, I know a murderer who was let go on a technicality, and was free for decades after. But he was eventually caught for his other murders. That’s not the same as worrying about it being circumstantial though.
they sure did have enough evidence. loser prosecutors!
Watching this, the evidence was extremely powerful. I've been reading the comments, and there's not a single one so far where someone thinks maybe he didn't do it. People are tech savvy enough to realize that circumstantial or not, there's just so much data that it's obvious that he did it. And there's actual camera footage, not just cell phone data! It's infuriating. He should be behind bars until he dies.
They should be fired
26 years is the biggest slap in the face for Kassandra and her family. That’s truly sickening.
This is a long time in England. About the maximum anyone gets.

Excellent detective work.
The look of arrogance & apathy on his face in court.... he doesn't have a soul!

And yet, how many cases are unsolved.
My goodness, what in the world did that girl see in that sicko? Terribly sad.
The mom absolutely gutted me. The pain she feels is way beyond deep. I never understand how investigative journalists can keep their cool in those situations. I would be a bloody mess.
Riiightt! I wld too, I can feel her (her mother) pain through my phone... idk how they cld keep their composer.. ughh 😢
We have no clue who is watching you or I in this life. Worthiness is key to salvation, not broken bear claws or dreams of salvation in mood beams. Support your family in life, not suffering like these people. She didn't have salvation. Her choices infirmed herself and her former lovers offering for her and his family. Shouldn't be so worthless in your comments on here. Such is life. Move forward, understand she is here on your path and not on yours in another realm. Worship her and death takes over your family, life suffers forever. Such is life and nobody loves me is not going to be said of me.
Gutted you ?
@@aaronchapdelaine5478 I believe they meant it metaphorically; they emotionally felt as if they'd been physically wounded.
I've said this same thing. I could never interview someone in this situation. I'm tearing up just watching from my phone...I'd be balling if I were in that room with the mother
I'm surprised they even offered a plea deal with all the evidence. My heart breaks for her family and friends, and for her unborn child.
Soros DA. Trials cost A lot of money and time.
Unfortunately it was all circumstantial evidence. They were too cautious, they should have gone trial with it.
@@sharimeline3077 I....what? I'm not sure there are too many cases with clearer evidence, though. Caught on camera in all the right places, caught with trash bags and surgical gloves, drove around with her phone, blood found in his basement, the victim at his house the morning she went missing. That's not exactly loose evidence. If people are relying purely on a literal smoking gun to convict, then they're asking for too much.
@@Solonneysa if I was on the jury, there would be enough evidence for me. So much circumstantial evidence! The prosecutors really didn’t have to do the plea deal. So sad.
What more evidence would be needed?! They even had the bodies.
That poor woman. The worst pain is losing your child. It’s so unfair 😢
I’ve watched a lot of horrible crime cases and it usually just makes me angry. This case had me in tears. I just hate hearing of pregnant women murdered by their selfish partner. Two lives are gone because THIS man’s life was most “precious” and he only gets 26 years.
Wtf? They had a slam dunk case! The DA’s office literally failed this victim, her unborn baby, and her family and friends! Why should that monster get to parole and live his life! Unreal, and half assed justice!
But I do give mad respect to the I investigation team and divers. You guys did a great job!
I thought the unborn fetus would seal the deal most states would've considered the manner of death to be a double homicide but I guess her pregnancy had to be full term by killing her he took away her rites to choose considering the motive this guy is a Monster he knew the child would be his and the look on his face in that courtroom told me everything I needed to know about him
If he was black he probably would have got 150 years.

She created this situation for herself unfortunately.

@@katinthehat_81 you said it yourself, it takes two.... if she didn't involve herself with this guy she would be alive. That was her choice to involve herself with a married man and to get pregnant and stay pregnant and try to involve the married man.

I'm her twin brother. I can tell you for me, there is no "moving forward" or "feeling better". To this day, there is not at least one time during the day I don't catch myself thinking about Kasey and then I get sad/depressed for a bit. I've come to realize that it's pain I must live with

Interviewing that detective must be like pulling teeth. All 2 or 3 word answers until she leads him lol.
Our so-called "justice system " is so far beyond broken it's an abomination.

In blue states, yes. Washington state is one of the most lenient on criminals. They even passed a law to make it harder for police to do their jobs.

The system is broken. He should served 2 consecutive life sentences for Kassandra and the babu

Not every state has a messed up justice system. Do not smear the entire US justice system with what WA does. Blue states are all light on crime and you can tell by the way the criminals behave. Our business was broken in 3 times in 3 years. One of the dentists at the business condo association had video footage of criminals stealing from them with the alarm going off. The guy says to the gal, "Don't worry, we have 10 minutes till the cops get here."
When the criminals speak like this you know the state/city is doing something wrong.
I got shivers when the mom’s voice goes into a faint and say’s: “I was hoping that she might be alive somewhere.” 💔💔💔
That's almost always going to be any person's first reaction...
Her first question was, "is she okay?", when they found the body.
When my family came to my house and woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me my Dad was in an accident, that was my first question... "Well, is he okay?"
But of course he wasn't.
Knowing that, when I watch interrogations of suspects after crimes, I can almost always tell you which ones are guilty - just by their initial reaction.
Any variation of, "Wait, WHAT? No! No that can't be true! What do you mean? What are you even talking about? That doesn't make sense! Well, are they okay? They must be okay!", is an immediate giveaway.
***Well that and going to sleep and resting calmly when questions are asked...
Innocent people will get downright ENRAGED when they realize they're a suspect.

And we know how unreliable that is.

The Detective’s on Kassandra’s case were absolutely phenomenal!!! Sending my deepest heartfelt condolences to Kassandra’s Mother, her twin brother and to everyone that loved her. Kasandra’s fun loving and free-spirit touched our world. Again, the Detective’s were Amazing in this case. The prosecutor’s let Kassandra’s family and her loved ones down! Family should have a say on going to trial and sentencing for their loved ones.
@@nancymcmonarch Technically, he did NOT plead guilty. Without consulting the family, prosecutors accepted an Alford plea.
An Alford plea LITERALLY means, "I'm not guilty. They have a lot of things that might convince a jury that I'm guilty, so I'll plead guilty, but I am NOT guilty."
The family deserved their day in court to not only destroy the killer (and add 20 more years to his pathetic 26 year sentence), but to potentially ferret out accomplices.
THAT is why a JURY needs to hear the case.
Tossing a case like this, the way they did, is just about chalking up a win on their little scoreboard, and saving money.

37:47 Ugh! Looking at this dude’s smug face gave me sooo much rage, he did not look like he was remorseful at all. This is a gross injustice towards Kassandra’s family.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Absolute waste of human flesh! It's very obvious he sees this as some minor inconvenience.
I felt the same...I wanted to wipe that ugly smirk off his face. I hope he gets his comeuppance in jail.
Victims boyfriend was already on the dark side. She was headed there. Her shopping addiction was not only vacuous but selfish.
No one in this case is sympathetic except her Mother and her dark haired friend.
It was so insulting. He’s pleased as punch that he killed her and he doesn’t care who knows.
I can't even find a strong enough word to describe how disgusting this ugly monster is! I know I shouldn't think like this, but I do hope they have some traditional punishment among the inmates for those who have killed a pregnant woman.
I understand not wanting to be a father but you have to be a real sick individual to resort to murdering the mother of your child to get out of that situation! Also, allowing him a plea deal is a gross miscarriage of Justice. Her family deserves more than that!
Given the evidence they had on him they should have trusted in a jury's abilit to come to the conclusion that he did commit this crime.
And she was willing to let him walk away without asking for support, making his actions even harder to comprehend.
The sad part is how common this is as a motive.
I'm confused on this one. He could have took her and "accidently" trip her on some stairs like the old days or got into a car accident, etc etc......Seems to be more to the story.
I was on a jury with that exact situation.
Colin said he “didn’t want kids” but also couldn’t be bothered with condoms.
Fortunately, Kassanndra was on Depo and militant about using condoms. Unfortunately, using both methods, 100 in 1 million women still get pregnant.
But it was never about having kids. Kassanndra told him she didn't want anything from him, no child support, being in the child's life, etc. She didn't need his money, and definitely not his presence. When he ordered her to have an abortion, she asked him to sign away his parental rights. She wouldn't have even named him on the birth certificate. This was a deadbeat dad's dream scenario.
But he's a narcissistic psychopath, and he gave her an order. She refused to obey. So, he killed her. It could have been any order.
That is literally the sole reason.
Im amazed about the police work they have done in this case. After a month, she had already been found. The years of sentence is truly frustrating. I hope we have those equipments they have are in my country as well or all police offices have them..
I love his tribute. He followed through their dream and made it all about his twin sister. He's amazing. They're amazing. What a sad loss of two beautiful lives.
It is so well done. I do hope he's not so consumed by grief and guilt (over the kind of fight we all have with family) that he can't separate himself from it to a healthy degree. He is dealing with such a horrible loss, yet he needs to focus on his own life too. Sending my best to this lovely family.
Yes, he brought grace into the most unconscionable situation
@@McPierogiPazza He's not doing well. Twins have someone with them their whole lives, and when that is suddenly gone, how do you reconcile the void? Their birthday is now her birthday. He doesn't celebrate his anymore. Sort of does the week before or week after, but never on that day. 😢💔
That's heartbreaking
Where is this shop located? It would be wonderful to pay tribute to her and buy something, even if they have an online site.
Plea deal?!?!? 26 years?!?!? I’ve seen people do a lot more time for a lot less crime, a lot less evidence, and a lot more remorse. This would have definitely gone to trial if it happened to an “affluent” family. Great job from the detectives, laziness IMO of the DA. This guy should have gotten much more time. 😢I feel for Kassandra’s family.
I agree 😢
So long as he has to do a minimum of 26 years would this deem as reasonable. If so in 26 years he will have missed out on having a real life
@@sharla420sullivan9 m
Soros DA..
@@jessicacl2689He won't serve that time tho... Even if he did it's not enough! He took two lives and he doesn't deserve one!
i dont understand how he thought he would get away with it? there are cameras everywhere! and u see in the video he is wearing plastic/rubber gloves, and it tracks him right back to his truck!! incredible. unbelievable.
He falsely presumes he was smarter than everyone else. He’s a mental case. No good luck is coming to him.
How did he not get life in prison? That is ridiculous!
Believe it or not, 26 years is considered "life" in WA state. Due to the plea, the prison system can't release him (WA also doesn't have parole), until he's served 10% less than the full sentence. Which means the prison board (with zero input from the family, loved ones of Kassanndra), can cut him loose, free and clear, in 2044.
My heart goes to her Mom. Not many episodes make me teary eyed, but the ending of this episode did. RIP beautiful Kassandra.
Same😔
bless ya
The absolute injustice of 26 years as well. Shattering.
Finally…..Kassanndra’s story, I’ve been waiting for this. Thanks 48 hours! ❤
R.I.P. Kassanndra 🕊️
I cant believe people are still doing Rocky Horror live
First, that was 2004. Second, there will always be a new generation to appreciate the Time Warp.
They were doing it 20 years ago.
26 years?For a murderer who murdered mother and child?Ridiculous
Initially everybody hated the fact that there's Cameras everywhere,i gotta say, im glad for these situations.
I still hate it….but I’m glad it helps
Crimes
The worst phone call a parent or familymember could ever get 😢. I'm so sorry for her and her family. Unbelievable how people can be such monsters
You are not even kidding. I had to get such a phone call for my brother and I remember telling the police offer that they were lying, then throwing my phone across the room. This was back in '07, so the battery popped out. My then boyfriend went and got it and put it back together as I sat on the floor wailing. He called the detective back and got the details needed. That day haunts me, the screaming and wailing coming from my own throat haunt me - the memory of the ripping pain as a hole got punched out of my chest and a piece of me died. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
@@gothempress 😢💔
American judicial system is appalling!
Incredible detective work!
This one hit different…sorry to Kassandra’s family. I’m disgusted by the prosecutors and the injustice in this case 😤
After all that investigative work they weren't brave enough to take it to court? Unbelievable.
This guy killed Kassandra and her baby. He should get life in prison.
26 years is considered "life" in WA, for someone without a prior criminal history. The additional slap in the face for Kassanndra's family is that he wasn't sent to Walla Walla, where he belongs (and where "prison justice" might have been served). He was sent to Clallam, a medium security prison of only 825 inmates who "learn to bake pastries, train dogs, learn light landscaping (meaning they get to be outdoors a lot), have family fun days, and can use the library and computers to earn advanced degrees." And Kassanndra's loved ones get the "privilege" of paying for the killer's comfort.
Great job on the detectives. Even being able to find a phone in the water. But man, that plea deal was just… yeah, I’m with everyone.
I really don't understand why they thought they didn't have enough to go to trial and win with. This case had more circumstantial evidence than a lot of the cases I've seen in a while. Take the Murdaugh Trial for example. On top of that, they give him only 26yrs.....Woww, and even less with parole. This was NOT JUSTICE. My heart goes out to her family. RIP Kassanndra 🙏🙏🙏
Right, it's circumstantial but taken altogether there's not a reasonable alternative explanation for it all. There's absolutely no reasonable doubt. So disappointing and heartbreaking for the family
I kno,and the blood in his house!
With the lack of any form of evidence that could put him anywhere near her body they were concerned he could have gotten off.
You never know what a jury will do.
It doesn't appear that they found enough blood in the basement to prove Kassanndra died there. If the basement would have lit up with blood splatter, that most likely would have been shown in the video.
Small amounts of blood loss wouldn't be conclusive. And some juror could decide there wasn't enough proof to convict him.
Liberalism
Strong case, and prosecutors want to deal? Where’s the justice?
Finally, CCTV cameras better than 0,1 megapixels that capture good quality video!
Excellent detective work!! It's too bad all he got was 26yrs because the DA dropped the ball. He should've gotten way more, and she deserved better.
What a sweet twin brother. ❤
This is heartbreaking.😢 I cannot imagine the pain. God bless and give strength to her family and friends.
Amen 🙏
Listening and watching her Mom speak is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for their loss. At least they have the grave to mourn, watching different true crime documentarys I learned that you cannot take this for granted. RIP Kassanndra & her baby and all the best to her family.
What?! She was pregnant.. he should have gotten a double sentence!!
Sad. If he didn't want children, why didn't he take precautions? RIP Kassandra and baby.
Raised 3 girls. Hated when friends would say, So glad I have boys. They can't get pregnant.
I'd reply, Takes two to tango and I'll drop a baby on your doorstep 3x a week...at least.
@@juliecrane9647yea so your baby can be abused or worse
@@bigmona2741 You missed the part my girls are raised. They were on birth control as soon as they were having sex so I never had to drop a baby anywhere. My grandkids were born after they married. Your reply has no real facts to back it up. A mother is as capable of abusing a kid as much as a dad can. My point is that parents should teach their sons about contraception same as the parents of a girl.
@@juliecrane9647 Parents should teach their sons about contraception? Is this a joke? Boys have one form on contraception and thats it. And even that is very susceptible to breaking. Whether a girl gets pregnant is almost entirely in her control. Not only does she have a plethora of birth control options, she can even avoid certain days to lower the risk even further.
All a girl has to do is tell a boy who trusts her "Don't worry, I'm on birth control" when in reality she isn't, and that's enough to put him in a situation he doesn't want to be in. Happens all the time. And in this case it is clear as day the victim wanted to be a mother, so the possibility that she fell pregnant on purpose is very possible.
Well if he didnt want to be a father ,could also said to her ,she has loving twin Brother,Mum ,friends ,i am sure she could be wonderful single mum with support
26 years is OUTRAGEOUS, this monster should never be released!
WA is a very liberal state, and this lack of justice happens often. 😢
Honestly it's not enough time but if he actually does the full sentence it's more than many other killers serve.
@@debijacobson8822 Your political rhetoric is unhelpful, at best.
The strongest evidence would be the cell phone records which gave them locations. This led to finding her car
Wrong. The strongest evidence was someone reporting a car that hadn't moved in a few days, then going through the security footage to see when it first appeared there, to get the video of him dropping it off and then being able to use that video to get the warrant to get the truck, which ultimately found the body. The cell phone records proved they were only in contact.
Unbelievably heartbreaking. 😩💔
WHY didn't the prosecutors listen to the family and not accept a plea deal?! That's so freakin wrong! Sometimes prosecutors really just don't care about victims.
Maybe they thought the perp's gf would cause some reasonable doubt, assuming a defense attorney would throw her under the bus to defend their client? She was at the residence during the crime based on statements about her doing her own thing in the residence. Otherwise idk.. I agree with other commenters that stated he should've gotten a longer sentence due to not only the death of Kassandra but also an unborn child.
@@LittleLouieLagazza Imo- her reservations (long pause) to respond to questions about him was a bit eyebrow raising. And I concur- if /when she became aware of his infidelity etc I'd imagine she was not too sad about him being locked up.
@@elizabethan22 Well, the gf was not only sleeping with the POS, she was sleeping with the male roommate. And she didn't "live in a separate part of the house." The male roommate did. Also, the gf was cheating on her husband w/the POS all through her marriage. Trust me, neither of them were/are concerned about "fidelity."

RIP Kassanndra! Peace be with family and friends!
Amen 🙏❤God bless all
That is crazy and that smirk as he walked passed the family… I would’ve lunged.
2 me look like guy wit mom had hand on her hold her back?
@@Peet-4269 I kind of thought the same thing. Looks like he had plenty of cops there, protecting him, though.
What jury wouldn't have convicted him? That was a terrible deal that never should have happened.
A jury of murderers.
I'm always amazed at how easily people can be tracked and traced without even knowing it. Future murderers beware!
You must want them to get away with it?
,,We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing". Rip Kassandra
Amen 🙏❤LOVE and light
One of my favorite quotes 😊
😢💔
I love Kassanndra's mom, such a soft soul. As a mother myself I truly feel her words and her heart. I am so very sorry for the pain she endures. I wish peace for she and her kind son.
only in Washington does a person walk in public wearing this get-up and not arouse suspicion
It was the height of Covid. A lot of folk walked around like this, not just in WA.
@@MSmith-b33tingUand three years later, some idiots still walk around like this
😂
@@ghhm2705 This is how people in Japan walk around in public all the time, long before Covid. They realized how diseased-riddled the human population is, and took steps to protect themselves. Btw since wearing a mask in public I haven't had the slightest sniffle or illness since 2020. But sure, those who don't get sick are the "idiots." All I can say is, more for us as disease culls the "smart" part of the herd.
