Getting your young daughter who is just a toddler to protest in defence of you shooting her father is vile and disgusting. I feel so sorry for that little girl.
I completely agree with you. I swear woman who lie about abuse should be charged, and given the time. Felony! I feel terrible for that beautiful little girl, and his now grown daughter
@@izzysecret2079 As a victim of domestic abuse, would you accept that not all situations are the same? Sorry about what you went through. Please give the reasons why Ashley is not credible from your point of view.
I’ve watched several seasons of 48 Hours and A LOT of their episodes are like that. If you see a follow-up episode on a topic they’ve already covered, I skip to the end of the secondary episode. And in the the last 10 minute, you’ll learn the update 😉
I don’t believe Ashley. She just didn’t want to share custody. I was in an abusive marriage for 16 years, and it takes more than what Ashley went through to shoot your abuser.
She didn't go through anything except what she told herself. Surely all those investigations would have revealed some wrongdoings on his part and there was none.
@@lovingpia27what she “claimed” to go through. What I want to know is how she convinced the hospital to induce a healthy pregnancy with ZERO evidence there was anything wrong with the pregnancy. I had HG lost 40 lbs was getting infusions 2-3 times a week when I was pregnant and they were like 🤷🏼♀️
The fact that Ashley's mom left the house with the child tells me she knew what Ashley was going to do! She didn't want to expose her daughter to that ! Ashley's mother is just as guilty. PREMEDITATED!!
My first thought! When her accusations didn't work and the family court judge didnt believe her lies, Ashy needed a new plan. A final plan. She should've brushed up on her acting skills before taking the stand .
@@danidakota7304her demonstration of the end showed her pointing and looking downward w the weapon. She wanted to delete him, not act in self defense.
@@beatriceli4615thirty year age difference is insane. What do you have in common? She’s nine years older than his daughter. I feel so sorry for his daughter.
Yes...marriage is one of the dumbest things a person can do...especially if you have some money or assets...if your partner insists on marriage...they may be looking for your money, house...possessions.
I'm probably happiest that I've ever been. I loved my late husband, but 7 years after his death, I've made a great life for myself. I do still love my husband, but I still love the life I've made.
@@tammiemills9923 Hmmm. I married at 54 and my hubbie at the time was 80. I married for love and no he's not rich in money but rich with his heart of gold. Don't lump all age difference all together to make them sound bad. Everyone sees how much we love each other and my hubbie plays golf and curling and bowling. He's 90 now and me I'm 63. We've never argued or goes to bed angry! What I have is a beautiful expression of love and our love is what we have in common!! I sure hope you find a love like mine one day.
She wasn't a good dancer either. If you have to start an entire dance company just so you have an opportunity to dance you're not a good dancer. Sorry not sorry
@@rachelsill79 I think this again is her common thread .. even as a younger version when she was not given what she wanted, she lashed out fabricated huge lies and vowed to get "even" ..this trait is very dangerous and was still very much in play well into adulthood..sadly he took the bait and "the rest is history" as they say..🙏no disrespect meant..she was probably not given the leading role in her former Ballet company on more than 1 occasion.. so it's the old "I'll show you" & low and behold while working for OMG, wait for it..DJT she snags & traps a much older man 🙄 who is putty in her hands, married after only 13 days, and tells him many times I've always wanted to start(?) my own Ballet Company ,, where she will be 'the Lead' in every aspect..his money, my co., my rules" 😡 🤬 ever notice that 'lead' and lead(as in bullets)are spelled exactly the same .. so, she wins, games over in her winning ways..So, as her mentor would say, "drain the swamp", "lock her up" & I say, let her go have "the kind of days, months & years she so rightly deserves" 👋 bye👋..git, the door is 👇 that way🔥 🇨🇦Barbie in Vancouver🇨🇦
my first thought was the same, so I wanted to ask if the government or social care does check ups in the future ? we can only hope she is able and wants to do her own research later on.
I watched the trial, without knowing a thing about the case prior. I think she acted in self defense based on the evidence in a court room, not what story 48 Hours decides to tell. I'm interested in watching this because I watched the trial
I can't imagine the frustration, pain, helplessness, and grief Eva has been through. Losing your mother is tough enough at any age. Then immediately having to shift gears to deal with all the drama between her dad and his way-too-young wife that he barely knew. Only to end up losing him too because his tornado of a wife killed him. Heart-wrenching. In spite of all it, she seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Poor girl. So much taken from her at such a critical time in her life.
Not only all that but do you think that grandma's gonna let her have a healthy relationship with her kid sister? NO WAY!!! And that woman is going to plant so much resentment and anger in that lil girls heart that she'll probably grow up hating her older sister for no reason. Big sisters gonna have her own trust issues with baby sister once she gets older especially if she has any of her mothers and grandmother's personality traits! She'd almost have to given all the circumstances! I'm sure given how I mature and level headed she's been this whole time that she wouldn't want to consider anything like that! But She'd be dumb not to! Theyll never truly know eachother cause they'll both remain somewhat guarded of themselves and thats A shame! It's also A shame that good men are going to hear about this! So they'll be more guarded and untrusting of genuinely good women thinking that we're all the same! It's all an aweful domino effect! Who's ripples are going to cross over one another reaching the ears of many and ultimately effecting how they approach and view relationships in general!
Talk about a Wicked Prima Donna!? Crazy and Cold-hearted. Was difficult for her to fake cry...at Court case. And talk about a Yo-yo job! Back and forth-- back and forth! Sad he didn't See he Did Not Know her at All. And after several Weird things--should get Away from Her! Very strange Timing to have a Baby!? She bails on the supposed Ballet Company... Guns are never a good Sign... Anyhow, hoping the jurors see Through her Fake Weirdness. She is Not a very clever Manipulator... Mental? I think not. But Wicked, yes. Alot of Russian girls/women --are very Cold --and looking for a rich man. There. I've Said it. Go visit Miami Beach, FL.
I'm only half way through part 1 and have to share how much I admire Eva's courage. She is a living, breathing example of the mother and father who raised her and a testament to their kindness.
Sounds like they were both nutso. Neither one had the funds to open ballet company or even pay them. She was living in crazy land and he was thinking with his private part.
He lost his wife 9 months earlier, and had a teenage daughter. It sounds to me like he was delusional, heartbroken, and lovebombed. It's a shame. It cost him his life before he could ever watch his daughters grow up.
@flamingogh_ That actually makes me think worse of him... 9 months to grieve a decades long marriage? The op was right... he was thinking with his little johnny. It wouldn't surprise me if he had cheated on his first wife. Now, do I think he deserved to die... no, absolutely not! She had no right to take his life. She was a true gold digger. It's really sad that two young girls lost BOTH OF THIER PARENTS. It's just tragic
My heart breaks for Eva. She is so young to be without both parents. I'm glad she has Sully, mans best friend is now her best friend! Eva, you remain in my thoughts and prayers, don't ever hesitate to reach out to a counselor to work through the trauma you've endured over the years! I love the dark humor she uses, but the wounds are deep.
@@IlyaByk83I didn’t even think of that. I thought they were complaining they had to wait a day to finish it. Either way, people love to complain about something that’s FREE.
The tea tested negative for poison and she still claims it was poisoned? Also she got tested and no poison was found, but still she made doctors deliver her daughter 3 weeks before the due date?!? That woman is sick!
I'm not trying to defend Anything this person does, but as someone who has had emergency C-sections and 2 planned Ones, they would have taken the baby out 1 week prior to the due date, technically it was only 2 weeks early than normal everyday procedures. BUT my emergency One was 4 weeks before the due date, I would have So much loved for her to 'bake' a little longer due to that last month being her lung development. She didn't Make anyone do anything , if anything that doctor should be investigated for unsafe practices. There has to be a legitimate reason to rip the baby out that early and not just because She said so
@@TacoAiden9THAT’S NOT TRUE. I WAS TIRED OF BEING PREGNANT BECAUSE I WAS SICK BUT HEALTHY. I THREW UP CONTINUALLY. AS LONG AS THE BABY IS HEALTHY & THE MOM. MY DOCTOR SCHEDULED ME TO BE INDUCED 2 WEEKS BEFORE MY DUE DATE. BUT MY BABY HAD PLANS & GOD HAD PLANS FOR ME TO DELIVER ON THAT EXACT SAME DAY, BECAUSE MY WATER BROKE🙌🏾.
Ashley actually took the honorable death from Eva's mother, killed her Father, AND THENNNN took her only sibling from her.... Wretched woman. ✅ Prayers for Eva, and her future. 🙏🏼✝️✨
@BlackStump172 Seems like you yourself have got it twisted. Eva is a normal young woman who's been through too much due to this psycho Ashley who is going to prison. 🎉
Am I the only one seeing a BIG problem with him shooting his gun off in the house with his wife and daughter in there??? I have SO MANY questions. Like why on earth would he not only marry a 24 yr old woman he'd only known for 2 weeks- 9 months after the sudden passing of his wife, beloved mother of his 15 yr old daughter and NOT EVEN INVITE his daughter or DISCUSS the idea with her? Idk.. this whole situation is insane. His two daughters are going to have to live with so much confusion and uncertainty. I hope they will both be okay.
Same here! why a normal person should fire a gun in the house?none of his behaviors was normal to me and because your whole family are saying you were a good guy everyone spouse to be convinced ?! It also doesn't sit right with me that his daughter is sharing everything on social media. normally when someone dies everyone feels sorry for them and automatically we blame the other person., but for sure we never know what happed behind close doors!
I was in an abusive marriage. We lived in an affluent neighborhood where he was SOOOOOO nice to all of the neighbors. But I KNOW they heard him hurting me. No one ever said or did a damn thing. If I would have killed him in self defense there would be a slew of people saying " He would never hurt her" in court. People don't know what happens in intimate relationships behind closed doors and those who do often will pretend that they don't . This man married someone less than half his age. This is a Big red flag- indicating he wanted someone he felt he could control. He married her without even mentioning this to his daughter (HE chose to not include HIS own daughter) - abusers like to brew discourse between their partner and others so their partner will not have support. When mine was angry with me he would forbid his daughter from speaking to me. Doug was obsessive and controlling and violent- shooting a gun off in their home and admitting to striking her dog with force. Mine used to be mean to my dog and I actually ended up giving him to the couple who would dog sit for me when I traveled so he would not be subjected to it. There are text messages found where his first wife texted him about kicking her and filming them having sex without her knowledge. Why this was not addressed more in court is crazy. So there was also a level of abuse in the first marriage as well. And I still don't buy the 1st wife died of natural causes. A good shot of potassium chloride and hello cardiac arrest and you are not detecting that postmortem. Look at all of the toxic metals that Ashley and her daughter (in utero) were exposed to and that Ashley believed Doug may have been poisoning her and had her drink daily tea that he made for her. The fact that the press labeled her the Black Swan is disturbing as well. I am waiting for the press to attach a label to a man who kills his wife. They don't. The vast majority of people commenting on here have very little knowledge of abusive relationships. You don't always have visible marks . You often smile and exchange nice words with the person who is your abuser . There will be smiling family photos - abusers certainly wants everyone to think they are a good person. And the woman who is abused is often deemed "standoffish" or "cold" when they are in fact just keeping to themselves because we are ashamed, broken and because we know so many people will simply not believe us anyway. 99% of the comments here show that is absolutely the case. Just watching the judge not allow Ashley's attorney to point out the swelling to her left eye and dismissing him is pretty telling as well. Sickening.
Unfortunately he was thinking with his little head, and couldn't see clearly through his third e(i)e. He didn't tell his daughter because he was embarrassed and knew she'd disapprove. The quick marriage was so they could have relations( his friend said)
When the suspect sniffles from crying and there’s NO tears, NO snots dripping out…NO red nose, puffy eyes…when I hysterically cry…my nose is running, tears are flowing…I sound like I had a cold from crying and I’m a wreak! Yeah I don’t believe her for one second!! Gma suspiciously takes the child out just when she shoots him 🤔😏😒 Weren’t they in the process of packing to move TOGETHER?!?
@DelbertSting-th7if ooh good one..had not heard that one before..perfectly described..I'll have to steal that one from you Delbert..my pals will get a laugh.. I have a friend named Delbert but I'll give you all credit due thx 🇨🇦Barbie
my parents did that and spent 50 years trying to convince everyone that they were so in love ,by the time my dad died they couldn't stand each other. There's nothing in common.
Ashley has the deadest eyes I’ve ever seen on a human being, plus her testimony was the biggest act I’ve ever seen in a courtroom. She’s a terrible actress and she is as guilty as they come. She’s a sociopath.
This woman was completely hysterical throughout the cross examination. But honestly I just chalked it up to her being hyperbolic to garner sympathy. She’s a psychopath. 🙁
@@deb6853he willing admitted to hitting the pup. Not punching. He said it wasnt a punch. He probably spanked the pup like many do when the pup was misbehaving and jumped up on him. Thats very different. SHE is lying. The most damning is actually the words of his ex wifes text. Which...how on earth how did that come to light? But either way, its there. But crying hysterically with ZERO tears...human bodies dont work that way. Her body language is as credible as amber heards. And im a victim of DV....but Ashley isnt. Not in this instance.
Ashley wasn't poisoned. She's a narcissist and her source was depleted. Narcissists can't just walk away. They have to completely destroy the source. For what purpose? To deflect?
She set him up . And that “ grandmother “ should be investigated. Why take the kid out of the house when he went there to see the child. She’s a horrible actress. Bye girl enjoy prison .
I side with the one judge who stated in court & on the record, “Not one scintilla of her claims are credible..” The black swan straight up murdered that man.
And why is that because one was a real abuser and the other one was a male? Even when it's proven that a women did something wrong, you still can't lay all the blame on where it should be.
@@why09876- I believe he was still grieving and went through some sort of midlife crisis, and Ashley was there to manipulate him. He was so desperate to make her happy that he wouldn’t into debt for her, and then she took off because she only wanted the child without having to raise with him. It sounded like both she and her mom premeditated all of this so she could be single mother.
That man was very un-Christian. Nine months after his wife's passing, he carelessly started a relationship with an inappropriately young woman, who distracted him from helping his daughter heal and investing in her future. Instead, he invested himself into a stranger's pipe dream, while giving no thought to his daughter's mental health or future. He did not fulfill his duty as a father and protector. His lust doomed both him and his daughter.
yeah and all it took was her sending him nudes right after they met. and then this docu claims they bonded over “conservative values” lmao. that term has lost all meaning.
Doesn't mean he's not a Christian it just makes him naive. When your 50 plus and your spouse passes you feel lost and lonely. He was probably very blinded and she said exactly what he wanted yo hear.
I believe the bible says ‘ Until death does part’ not ‘until death it does part and nine months or longer‘ . He didn’t start a relationship with her while his wife.was alive. If you have never been bereaved then you d’où don’t understand.
Foolish, but is common in many areas.. and the younger doesn’t end up being a selfish killer. Folks that date for years and marry same age are taken out far more often. You have seen that be the case many times on this channel.
She seems like a psycho gold digger from the get go. Probably thought she could trap him into paying alimony/child support and go on living her life. Hence the elaborate story and just bizarro behavior. Mother seems cut from the same cloth. Glad she's going to rot in prison. Sad for her daughter and former stepdaughter.
Yap. Ashley mom knows more , She seems she likes being single and wants the same for Ashley so the 3 can live their lives. I wonder where Ashley dad is . I'm sure she could want the same for her granddaughter . Manipulate men and enjoy the monthly benefits
the man (victim) had issues too , why chase young girls huh? Then act stupid by secretly marriage and keep chasing this lady even after she left! Ignoring all the red flags , bring dragged to unknown business and all weird accusations of poisoning plus courts cm'on
@@mamabear-x7u Yeah, and he STILL could've walked away at so many points! He had opportunities to get out! But he kept going back FOR MORE!! Why?!?! I hate to victim-blame, but... ugh.
I mean what more did this woman want? She finds a man who loves and adores her, willing to support her financially, and give her anything she wants. He was a good looking, successful, by all accounts good man. What more could she have wanted?
The channel profits the more comments they get. Yes, spending that much time in a Hyperbaric Oxygen Tank for anyone under the age of 18 is VERY DANGEROUS and consequences of having done so will eventually evolve over time. Over saturation of the mitochondria leads to early cell death.
Doug’s daughters are the victims, their Dad is dead, Eva has NO parents now 😢also a victim of this psycho who just married him for his money.. it’s not hard to work out.. gobsmacked that they would allow the little 6 yo to be involved in the protest… that’s disturbing to me, just shows how they think !! Not one tear but all the noise !!
@@rhondaalbrecht what money, retired navy? he misrepresented himself to 1st wife & sounds like he did same w/ 2nd. she thought he had enuff to float a 10mil startup co? she was naive & when she wised up, the old goat had anchored himself to her. they were both psycho from the sound of it. bad combo & now a grandma gets a 2nd chance to raise another double psycho
Yeah. I think she kind of thought that if she reacted like an abuse victim for a long period of time, that would successfully convince people that she was, in fact, an abuse victim. Extreme hubris, I daresay. Her act wasn't convincing at all.
@@I_Love_Rainbows510 I agree fully with you. I kept watching and she was for sure doing it for the camera. She certainly thought of she sat there looking all scared and timid they’d have bought it. Smh
It seems like he was obsessed, which is different than abuse. An obsession can turn into abuse, but he seemed to display stalker-ish affection. She was creeped out and just went into fantasy land calling it abuse and imagining poison and nonsense. They both had issues and were toxic for each other.
@@mamaboocee Because he had a documented history of anger issues and abuse. Did you not see the part of the story where he struck his first wife on their wedding night, and the other incident where he discharged his gun in a fit of anger?
I have a younger half sister 15 year age gap, our father died when she was 2...I lost my mother shortly after and didn't get to see my sister until she reached out to me when she was 16. I hope someday Eva is able to tell her younger sister about her father. They are forever bonded by trauma that will affect them both for the rest of their lives.
No, she did shed some tears but those must have been squeezed out with a LOT of trying. She couldnt do it on command though and there were other instances where she couldnt squeeze them out. At least she is a better actress than Amber Heard
No fool like an old fool , Doug put his obsession with Ashley before the safety & well-being of his own daughters, even after she accused him of killing his first wife & abusing his daughter he still continued to pursue her , what sort of man wants a woman like that around their children, he put his own feelings before anyone else & allowed a complete nut job to ruin his & his daughters lives & the ending was so predictable. My sympathy is with Eva.
I agree Ashley is a nut job along with her mother.She took advantage of Doug and her bogus ballet company plan. He lost $100,000.00 then she started building false accusations such as he poisoned her, poisoned his first wife.
0 seconds ago She was out for herself from the beginning with “coach Mom” in her corner. Having her own company and kid/meal ticket/money bucket was all she wanted from him. He would fund her life and relationships with men her own age, he got dupped. Sad, he prob really did love her, she was in it for diff reasons.
You think he loved her? He got married to her so he could justify having sex with her to himself. They were both selfish people using each other. He’s absolutely no saint, doesn’t mean it’s ok for him to be murdered. But this isn’t a case of some hapless fool in love. He let his lust and need for attention get the better of him, and his daughter suffered for it and is now an orphan.
She’s as fake as this Rolex on my arm… okay there is no Rolex but black swan is as fake as they come! Rip Doug and my goodness my heart ❤️ goes out to Eva
When he found out that she was seeing someone else, and was engaged to be married to that other man, and immediately files for divorce. So, what did she do when it looks like she would have the clearance to marry that other man? She aggravates and starts accusing Doug of doing things to Emerson, etc., additional charges. WHY? To get more money out of him in the divorce settlement? That shows her true intent. She's nothing but a grifter, and looked at Doug as a 'honey pot'. She wanted a baby, but didn't want him in their lives. So, why don't you just leave him alone and file for divorce, yourself, Ashley???? Why'd you lead him on? And then when he confronted you over what YOU did to your relationships, you shot him. You aimed your gun at him. He NEVER aimed a gun at you. He aimed it at the ceiling. Yep, Ashley, you're a murdering liar.
Don't blame her attorney. The dude is doing his job. His job is to defend people. Innocent or guilty. He is there to provide the strongest defense possible. He is a respectable man with an honorable job. Even the worst humans alive, far worse than Ashley, deserve the best defense possible. Its America, be proud of our legal system.
@ImAlxxy no. Child molesting murderers don't. Not everyone deserves the best defense when the truth is plain to see and you don't drag a murdered man through the mud in front of the public to free people from heinous acts
This whole case is just so bizarre. Did Ashley think Doug was a rich guy because he had a good job? Is that why she leeched onto him so quickly? I'm not saying Doug was any better. No one should marry someone they've known for less that 2 weeks. Another strange thing - she wanted that ballet company so badly, yet she abandoned it after Doug sponsored it. It was her dream not his. And wanting a baby knowing that Dog had had a vasectomy? I don't think it was Doug's idea for her to move back to Florida with her mom. Clearly, Doug loved Ashley more than she loved him. I don't think she even loved him in the slightest. She was just out for what she could get from him. I usually believe the woman when it comes to domestic violence, but I don't know... something is just off with Ashley's whole story. I am glad they got justice for Doug, I just feel so bad for Eva and Emerson.
I feel like Ashley's mother got into her head and made her paranoid. It seems like she got REAL paranoid, and took drastic measures when her mother was around.
What many people do not understand is that there are women and men out there who's mission is to drag others down to hell. .......😢 Be alert at all times. Let the right one in . Guard your heart with all attentiveness 🙏 .
You reap what you sow. When you marry someone so much younger than you and don’t really know them well you’re just asking for trouble. You never realize just how far people will go in their craziness but again he didn’t know her that well and she is a bratty youngster Shame
I actually believe when they said Ashley genuinely believed her own lies… I think Ashley should’ve been evaluated with some kind of mental disorder cause to believe you were being poisoned is INSANE… her ‘poisoning’ symptoms sounded like hyperemesis gravidarum to me or simply extreme nausea… I’ve known women who had nausea & threw up their WHOLE pregnancy, doesn’t mean they were poisoned though… towards the end some1 said she decided to take ‘justice’ to her own hands& that I do agree (even if she wasn’t actually in harms way)!
I agree with everything you say here except for one thing… Liars don’t lie to the point that they actually believe their lies. They just are really good at lying. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing. Imo of course.
@@elisamiguel2826 so very true. I’ve known people who lies so much that they don’t feel they are lying. It’s very frustrating talking to them. It’s too bad Doug fell in love with her. So many red flags that could have ended the marriage sooner. He’d still be alive now had he realized it sooner. I hope Eva will be strong enough to fight what belongs to her. I would request for a DNA test on her sister before any money goes to Ashley.
What a toxic pair. So we're just supposed to ignore the fact of the beyond creepy age difference and his complete disregard for his first daughter's feelings? And he shot a gun during an argument and abused his own dog? Not that I have any sympathy for Ms Ashley or her fake whiny performance in court either. My sympathy is with his two daughters.
Please don't even try to assume that just because he was a man that he was equally as toxic because she is insane or something majorly wrong with her!! It can never be more of the woman's fault, can it? And I say that as a female myself.
Eva I hope your life is full of happiness & love from here on in..im so sorry for the massive loss of BOTH your parents, that is truly unfair & horrible for you to have to live with. You are strong, smart & kind, your parents would be so proud of you..I am & I’m a stranger. Much love to you darling girl. 💜🙏🩵
I have watched hundreds of crime stories...this is by far one of the top 5 for idiots. The first few minutes sums up everything... Wife dies, leaves behind a daughter, 9 months later dad meets and gets MARRIED in 13 days to a stripper 30 years younger than him. This scenario NEVER NEVER NEVER ends well.......these people have mental issues, not the daughter, but the man and his psycho 24 year old wife. Story ends badly....
I'm sure he couldn't have imagined that a broken promise to his daughter (not remarrying and having more kids) would be the end of him. Ashley is a looney but Doug clearly had issues of his own . There's no way in hell I'm staying in a relationship with someone that falsely accused me of m0lesting our kid. Like Tina Turner said _"What's love got to do with it?"_
She's a narcissist and he was her victim. He was still grieving his former wife and she played on his emotions to weasel her way into his life. And when she got everything she could from him, she realized by having a daughter with him she was legally tied to him. She couldn't just toss him away. And she was never going to share with him; it had to be sole custody for her. So she murdered him. She was not poisoned, she was not abused, there was never any proof to anything she ever claimed because the authorities investigated and it was all in her evil mind. It's not self-defense when you are the instigator. And I think it's terrible the little girl was used as propaganda. That's so inappropriate. The text from the former late wife shouldn't have been entered into evidence because she was obviously not able to be present to offer context, etc. and the victim, Doug, whom the text was to and for, could not defend himself from the allegations Ashley's attorney was making. What a disgrace. The victim did not deserve blame; he was just trying to keep his marriage together. Ashley is not a victim of domestic violence. She's not exhibiting real symptoms. She's fake crying. No real tears. Glad she's going to prison. She deserves to rot after what she did to this man and his daughters. Both of them.
It took me the first five minutes to realise this Ashley was a psycho. Poor Doug landed the wrong ride and ended up dead for it. He made a hasty decision and paid for it with his life.
So there was no prior proved evidence that he was abusive, in fact she said he had never hit or kicked her prior to the day she killed him. If he punched walls (like the way she said he knocked his dog out) there would have been holes in the walls and yet no photos of that abuse. The bullet in the ceiling really had no foundation. She left him to go to her mothers leaving him with the business SHE wanted...if he were possessive or abusive he would not have allowed her to go. She hides the baby's birth from him. She claims he was aggressive the night she killed him, when others were saying how excited he was that they were going to have a chance to continue with their family and he was there to pack up so they could begin their journey. Even though she said he was angry because she said he should get his own place, really, was that enough to anger someone that bad that he would be a threat to her or wouldn't they just wait til there got there to figure things out? Then she sends her mother away with the child.....and they say not premeditated? She was so phony on the stand. And when she was sentenced she did not scream out "It was self defense" nor did she shed a phony tear. GUILTY.
When I think of ballet I don't even think of the movie Black swan it wasn't until they brought it up that I was like oh right there was that movie with Natalie Portman.
Most women who pretend to "fancy" a man who technically could be their grandad must be somehow unhinged. There are great relationships with a massive age difference but they are rare and the people involved have a deep connection (like they are both great musicians, artists, etc).
IDK b7t maybe you should ask my now ex husband of 16 years the same question? Cause he is now involved with A woman that just turned 24 in June and our daughter will turn 18 in January! Oh and did I mention it's the bosses daughter he's now dating! I mean I'm not sure what's more irresponsible the dating someone our teenager has more in common with than you do? Or dating the daughter of the man who's given you A job for the last 8-9 years? Which is A relationship started while in A longterm relationship with another woman and in the middle of A divorce with your 1st wife and childhood sweetheart? Idk to me that all just spells irresponsible childish selfish behaviors! And certainly not the kind of moral compass I'd want courting my daughter who by the way also works for the family business! Who knows maybe he thinks this is job security? To me I look at it like you've just now wasted almost ten years building trust within this professional work relationship with this man! Who really now is tolerating you cause his baby girl adores you! Nevermind the fact that everyones been aware of your relationship for alil over 10 years with your girlfriend and the pending divorce of the mother of your child!

So many unanswered questions. Did she have friends? Only person mentioned was her mother, what was her social life like and how did she communicate with other people? Obviously she has time to date and get engaged, what happened to the fiancée? She’s guilty a million percent but there’s so much more they could have brought to light. Also I don’t think the child is safe with the grandma because she’s an accomplice.
Getting your young daughter who is just a toddler to protest in defence of you shooting her father is vile and disgusting. I feel so sorry for that little girl.
By here doing that to her daughter leads me to believe she’s guilty.
I agree with you!!! I’m starting to think if the baby is even Doug’s. Doug’s name is not in the birth certificate!!!

I don’t believe Ashley. She just didn’t want to share custody. I was in an abusive marriage for 16 years, and it takes more than what Ashley went through to shoot your abuser.
She didn't go through anything except what she told herself. Surely all those investigations would have revealed some wrongdoings on his part and there was none.
@@lovingpia27what she “claimed” to go through. What I want to know is how she convinced the hospital to induce a healthy pregnancy with ZERO evidence there was anything wrong with the pregnancy. I had HG lost 40 lbs was getting infusions 2-3 times a week when I was pregnant and they were like 🤷🏼♀️
The fact that Ashley's mom left the house with the child tells me she knew what Ashley was going to do! She didn't want to expose her daughter to that ! Ashley's mother is just as guilty. PREMEDITATED!!
Exactly what I see... mom was influencing Ashley against Doug.
Of course she knew. Ashley planned it all

I can't imagine the frustration, pain, helplessness, and grief Eva has been through. Losing your mother is tough enough at any age. Then immediately having to shift gears to deal with all the drama between her dad and his way-too-young wife that he barely knew. Only to end up losing him too because his tornado of a wife killed him. Heart-wrenching. In spite of all it, she seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Poor girl. So much taken from her at such a critical time in her life.

Not only all that but do you think that grandma's gonna let her have a healthy relationship with her kid sister? NO WAY!!!

She'd almost have to given all the circumstances! I'm sure given how I mature and level headed she's been this whole time that she wouldn't want to consider anything like that! But She'd be dumb not to! Theyll never truly know eachother cause they'll both remain somewhat guarded of themselves and thats A shame! It's also A shame that good men are going to hear about this!

Am I the only one seeing a BIG problem with him shooting his gun off in the house with his wife and daughter in there??? I have SO MANY questions. Like why on earth would he not only marry a 24 yr old woman he'd only known for 2 weeks- 9 months after the sudden passing of his wife, beloved mother of his 15 yr old daughter and NOT EVEN INVITE his daughter or DISCUSS the idea with her? Idk.. this whole situation is insane. His two daughters are going to have to live with so much confusion and uncertainty. I hope they will both be okay.
No!!!
Same here! why a normal person should fire a gun in the house?none of his behaviors was normal to me and because your whole family are saying you were a good guy everyone spouse to be convinced ?! It also doesn't sit right with me that his daughter is sharing everything on social media. normally when someone dies everyone feels sorry for them and automatically we blame the other person., but for sure we never know what happed behind close doors!
I was in an abusive marriage. We lived in an affluent neighborhood where he was SOOOOOO nice to all of the neighbors. But I KNOW they heard him hurting me. No one ever said or did a damn thing. If I would have killed him in self defense there would be a slew of people saying " He would never hurt her" in court. People don't know what happens in intimate relationships behind closed doors and those who do often will pretend that they don't . This man married someone less than half his age. This is a Big red flag- indicating he wanted someone he felt he could control. He married her without even mentioning this to his daughter (HE chose to not include HIS own daughter) - abusers like to brew discourse between their partner and others so their partner will not have support. When mine was angry with me he would forbid his daughter from speaking to me. Doug was obsessive and controlling and violent- shooting a gun off in their home and admitting to striking her dog with force. Mine used to be mean to my dog and I actually ended up giving him to the couple who would dog sit for me when I traveled so he would not be subjected to it. There are text messages found where his first wife texted him about kicking her and filming them having sex without her knowledge. Why this was not addressed more in court is crazy. So there was also a level of abuse in the first marriage as well. And I still don't buy the 1st wife died of natural causes. A good shot of potassium chloride and hello cardiac arrest and you are not detecting that postmortem. Look at all of the toxic metals that Ashley and her daughter (in utero) were exposed to and that Ashley believed Doug may have been poisoning her and had her drink daily tea that he made for her. The fact that the press labeled her the Black Swan is disturbing as well. I am waiting for the press to attach a label to a man who kills his wife. They don't. The vast majority of people commenting on here have very little knowledge of abusive relationships. You don't always have visible marks . You often smile and exchange nice words with the person who is your abuser . There will be smiling family photos - abusers certainly wants everyone to think they are a good person. And the woman who is abused is often deemed "standoffish" or "cold" when they are in fact just keeping to themselves because we are ashamed, broken and because we know so many people will simply not believe us anyway. 99% of the comments here show that is absolutely the case. Just watching the judge not allow Ashley's attorney to point out the swelling to her left eye and dismissing him is pretty telling as well. Sickening.

Ashley wasn't poisoned. She's a narcissist and her source was depleted. Narcissists can't just walk away. They have to completely destroy the source. For what purpose? To deflect?
She set him up . And that “ grandmother “ should be investigated. Why take the kid out of the house when he went there to see the child. She’s a horrible actress. Bye girl enjoy prison .
Especially if “ her daughter says he abused her” grandmother should have nothing to do with their child.

@@why09876- I believe he was still grieving and went through some sort of midlife crisis, and Ashley was there to manipulate him.

It sounded like both she and her mom premeditated all of this so she could be single mother.
I guess some of you saying he wasn’t toxic at all, missed the part where he shot his gun inside the house in the middle of an argument?
That man was very un-Christian. Nine months after his wife's passing, he carelessly started a relationship with an inappropriately young woman, who distracted him from helping his daughter heal and investing in her future. Instead, he invested himself into a stranger's pipe dream, while giving no thought to his daughter's mental health or future. He did not fulfill his duty as a father and protector. His lust doomed both him and his daughter.
yeah and all it took was her sending him nudes right after they met. and then this docu claims they bonded over “conservative values” lmao. that term has lost all meaning.
Doesn't mean he's not a Christian it just makes him naive. When your 50 plus and your spouse passes you feel lost and lonely. He was probably very blinded and she said exactly what he wanted yo hear.
I believe the bible says ‘ Until death does part’ not ‘until death it does part and nine months or longer‘ . He didn’t start a relationship with her while his wife.was alive. If you have never been bereaved then you d’où don’t understand.
They exuded Christian values ...

Foolish, but is common in many areas.. and the younger doesn’t end up being a selfish killer. Folks that date for years and marry same age are taken out far more often. You have seen that be the case many times on this channel.

I have a younger half sister 15 year age gap, our father died when she was 2...I lost my mother shortly after and didn't get to see my sister until she reached out to me when she was 16. I hope someday Eva is able to tell her younger sister about her father. They are forever bonded by trauma that will affect them both for the rest of their lives.
Omg!!! Not one tear- girl!!! Try harder. I think both her and her mom had this planned
ABSOLUTELY!!!! They were in collusion. GOLD DIGGER. EVIL.
No, she did shed some tears but those must have been squeezed out with a LOT of trying. She couldnt do it on command though and there were other instances where she couldnt squeeze them out. At least she is a better actress than Amber Heard
No fool like an old fool , Doug put his obsession with Ashley before the safety & well-being of his own daughters, even after she accused him of killing his first wife & abusing his daughter he still continued to pursue her , what sort of man wants a woman like that around their children, he put his own feelings before anyone else & allowed a complete nut job to ruin his & his daughters lives & the ending was so predictable. My sympathy is with Eva.
And the poor little 6 y/o girl that has been used as a battering ram her entire life. 😢
I agree Ashley is a nut job along with her mother.She took advantage of Doug and her bogus ballet company plan. He lost $100,000.00 then she started building false accusations such as he poisoned her, poisoned his first wife.
Yes I totally agree. He gave no care for his daughter at all.

She was out for herself from the beginning with “coach Mom” in her corner. Having her own company and kid/meal ticket/money bucket was all she wanted from him. He would fund her life and relationships with men her own age, he got dupped. Sad, he prob really did love her, she was in it for diff reasons.
Yeah, I feel she just wanted a baby and wanted supported without him in her life. Everyone but the two daughters are toxic
You think he loved her? He got married to her so he could justify having sex with her to himself. They were both selfish people using each other. He’s absolutely no saint, doesn’t mean it’s ok for him to be murdered. But this isn’t a case of some hapless fool in love. He let his lust and need for attention get the better of him, and his daughter suffered for it and is now an orphan.
She’s as fake as this Rolex on my arm… okay there is no Rolex but black swan is as fake as they come!
Rip Doug and my goodness my heart ❤️ goes out to Eva
When he found out that she was seeing someone else, and was engaged to be married to that other man, and immediately files for divorce. So, what did she do when it looks like she would have the clearance to marry that other man? She aggravates and starts accusing Doug of doing things to Emerson, etc., additional charges. WHY? To get more money out of him in the divorce settlement? That shows her true intent. She's nothing but a grifter, and looked at Doug as a 'honey pot'. She wanted a baby, but didn't want him in their lives. So, why don't you just leave him alone and file for divorce, yourself, Ashley???? Why'd you lead him on? And then when he confronted you over what YOU did to your relationships, you shot him. You aimed your gun at him. He NEVER aimed a gun at you. He aimed it at the ceiling. Yep, Ashley, you're a murdering liar.

She went back because she didn’t want to share her baby with a lunatic who fires with guns around the house😂
@@mischapiru9514she killed Doug…

Moral: don't merry a person who's 30 years younger/older than you.
Even 20 is red flag
@@aykay9328 Ya. Let's say a generation.
Shame on Ashley and shame on her attorney. What a drama. Save it for days of our lives. Nobody but you believes you
Such a toxic situation, Doug didn't have to die it's very sad.
Why would you Shame an abused woman?
Shame on Doug and the rest of the people who think this guy was an upstanding guy. Makes me want to vomit.
Don't blame her attorney. The dude is doing his job. His job is to defend people. Innocent or guilty. He is there to provide the strongest defense possible. He is a respectable man with an honorable job. Even the worst humans alive, far worse than Ashley, deserve the best defense possible. Its America, be proud of our legal system.
@ImAlxxy no. Child molesting murderers don't. Not everyone deserves the best defense when the truth is plain to see and you don't drag a murdered man through the mud in front of the public to free people from heinous acts
Doug was delusional. These middle aged men that marry young beautiful women. It’s all about money. Wise up men
That’s the problem with people- they don’t take the time to know someone and only think of one thing and it’s not what’s in your brain.
No, only think what's in your pant/y
Make DNA test if the girl is really his
This whole case is just so bizarre. Did Ashley think Doug was a rich guy because he had a good job? Is that why she leeched onto him so quickly? I'm not saying Doug was any better. No one should marry someone they've known for less that 2 weeks. Another strange thing - she wanted that ballet company so badly, yet she abandoned it after Doug sponsored it. It was her dream not his. And wanting a baby knowing that Dog had had a vasectomy? I don't think it was Doug's idea for her to move back to Florida with her mom. Clearly, Doug loved Ashley more than she loved him. I don't think she even loved him in the slightest. She was just out for what she could get from him. I usually believe the woman when it comes to domestic violence, but I don't know... something is just off with Ashley's whole story. I am glad they got justice for Doug, I just feel so bad for Eva and Emerson.
he never had a good job, he was a ripoff artist.
@@IzzyMariel how do you know that?
@@flowerlovebyadrienne6340 court records in south carolina
Thanks Sherlock
I feel like Ashley's mother got into her head and made her paranoid. It seems like she got REAL paranoid, and took drastic measures when her mother was around.
No tears, as she is recounting the worst day of her life
She's putting on a horrible act! She's a gorgeous dancer and woman but a horrible actress.
What many people do not understand is that there are women and men out there who's mission is to drag others down to hell. .......😢
Be alert at all times. Let the right one in . Guard your heart with all attentiveness 🙏 .
You reap what you sow. When you marry someone so much younger than you and don’t really know them well you’re just asking for trouble. You never realize just how far people will go in their craziness but again he didn’t know her that well and she is a bratty youngster Shame
I actually believe when they said Ashley genuinely believed her own lies… I think Ashley should’ve been evaluated with some kind of mental disorder cause to believe you were being poisoned is INSANE… her ‘poisoning’ symptoms sounded like hyperemesis gravidarum to me or simply extreme nausea… I’ve known women who had nausea & threw up their WHOLE pregnancy, doesn’t mean they were poisoned though… towards the end some1 said she decided to take ‘justice’ to her own hands& that I do agree (even if she wasn’t actually in harms way)!
I agree with everything you say here except for one thing… Liars don’t lie to the point that they actually believe their lies. They just are really good at lying. They know EXACTLY what they’re doing. Imo of course.
@@elisamiguel2826 so very true. I’ve known people who lies so much that they don’t feel they are lying. It’s very frustrating talking to them. It’s too bad Doug fell in love with her. So many red flags that could have ended the marriage sooner. He’d still be alive now had he realized it sooner.
I hope Eva will be strong enough to fight what belongs to her. I would request for a DNA test on her sister before any money goes to Ashley.
If you said he is abusing the child, why would you take him back. Don't understand.
Exactly my thoughts
What a toxic pair. So we're just supposed to ignore the fact of the beyond creepy age difference and his complete disregard for his first daughter's feelings? And he shot a gun during an argument and abused his own dog? Not that I have any sympathy for Ms Ashley or her fake whiny performance in court either. My sympathy is with his two daughters.
Please don't even try to assume that just because he was a man that he was equally as toxic because she is insane or something majorly wrong with her!! It can never be more of the woman's fault, can it? And I say that as a female myself.
Are you kidding me? She killed him, murdered him!! She's way more at fault in this
@@Jerseyboondocks never said she wasn't at fault. And I never said equally toxic. But she appeared fake in her court appearance.
I was listening to this while I was working and her testifying on the stand sounded like a bad actress in an episode of Law and Order
Or Amber Heard…
Please don’t do Law and Order this bad! This lady was a spoiled brat who was looking to have a child as her financial meal ticket
Fake acting !
If you're so scared of him, why did you even come back.
A real Black Swan. Gladly, this video will be evidence to that little girl, to know who her mother really is.
Eva I hope your life is full of happiness & love from here on in..im so sorry for the massive loss of BOTH your parents, that is truly unfair & horrible for you to have to live with. You are strong, smart & kind, your parents would be so proud of you..I am & I’m a stranger. Much love to you darling girl. 💜🙏🩵
I have watched hundreds of crime stories...this is by far one of the top 5 for idiots. The first few minutes sums up everything...
Wife dies, leaves behind a daughter, 9 months later dad meets and gets MARRIED in 13 days to a stripper 30 years younger than him. This scenario NEVER NEVER NEVER ends well.......these people have mental issues, not the daughter, but the man and his psycho 24 year old wife. Story ends badly....
Great summary
She wasn’t a white swan or even a black swan. The only bird she reminds me of is a loon 😂
Or a vulture!
@@cheryljohnson380please these birds should not be entwined with this Person.
I'm sure he couldn't have imagined that a broken promise to his daughter (not remarrying and having more kids) would be the end of him. Ashley is a looney but Doug clearly had issues of his own . There's no way in hell I'm staying in a relationship with someone that falsely accused me of m0lesting our kid. Like Tina Turner said _"What's love got to do with it?"_
Took 4 years to go to trial and be sentenced. That’s ridiculous.
The wheels of justice turn slowly especially when there’s so much evil in the world.
Evil woman.
She's a narcissist and he was her victim. He was still grieving his former wife and she played on his emotions to weasel her way into his life. And when she got everything she could from him, she realized by having a daughter with him she was legally tied to him. She couldn't just toss him away. And she was never going to share with him; it had to be sole custody for her. So she murdered him. She was not poisoned, she was not abused, there was never any proof to anything she ever claimed because the authorities investigated and it was all in her evil mind. It's not self-defense when you are the instigator. And I think it's terrible the little girl was used as propaganda. That's so inappropriate. The text from the former late wife shouldn't have been entered into evidence because she was obviously not able to be present to offer context, etc. and the victim, Doug, whom the text was to and for, could not defend himself from the allegations Ashley's attorney was making. What a disgrace. The victim did not deserve blame; he was just trying to keep his marriage together. Ashley is not a victim of domestic violence. She's not exhibiting real symptoms. She's fake crying. No real tears. Glad she's going to prison. She deserves to rot after what she did to this man and his daughters. Both of them.
I agreed with everything you have stated
She had a Concept of a Plan😂
Like 12% of a plan 😂
It took me the first five minutes to realise this Ashley was a psycho. Poor Doug landed the wrong ride and ended up dead for it. He made a hasty decision and paid for it with his life.
This guy just completely disregarded his own daughter. Kinda don’t feel bad for him
Facts
I don’t believe her tears. I don’t believe her at all. 🤷♀️ acting. Bs
So there was no prior proved evidence that he was abusive, in fact she said he had never hit or kicked her prior to the day she killed him. If he punched walls (like the way she said he knocked his dog out) there would have been holes in the walls and yet no photos of that abuse. The bullet in the ceiling really had no foundation. She left him to go to her mothers leaving him with the business SHE wanted...if he were possessive or abusive he would not have allowed her to go. She hides the baby's birth from him. She claims he was aggressive the night she killed him, when others were saying how excited he was that they were going to have a chance to continue with their family and he was there to pack up so they could begin their journey. Even though she said he was angry because she said he should get his own place, really, was that enough to anger someone that bad that he would be a threat to her or wouldn't they just wait til there got there to figure things out? Then she sends her mother away with the child.....and they say not premeditated? She was so phony on the stand. And when she was sentenced she did not scream out "It was self defense" nor did she shed a phony tear. GUILTY.
Ashley is a master manipulator
Yeah, but I also think the real puppet master was her mother....
When I think of ballet I don't even think of the movie Black swan it wasn't until they brought it up that I was like oh right there was that movie with Natalie Portman.
She is the fakest crier, 😅 don’t trust a word out of her mouth…
Most women who pretend to "fancy" a man who technically could be their grandad must be somehow unhinged. There are great relationships with a massive age difference but they are rare and the people involved have a deep connection (like they are both great musicians, artists, etc).
When someone tells you they don't want you...MOVE ON..🙄🙄🙄

What was a 53 year old man doing getting involved with child 9 years older than his daughter.
IDK b7t maybe you should ask my now ex husband of 16 years the same question? Cause he is now involved with A woman that just turned 24 in June and our daughter will turn 18 in January! Oh and did I mention it's the bosses daughter he's now dating! I mean I'm not sure what's more irresponsible the dating someone our teenager has more in common with than you do? Or dating the daughter of the man who's given you A job for the last 8-9 years? Which is A relationship started while in A longterm relationship with another woman and in the middle of A divorce with your 1st wife and childhood sweetheart? Idk to me that all just spells irresponsible childish selfish behaviors! And certainly not the kind of moral compass I'd want courting my daughter who by the way also works for the family business! Who knows maybe he thinks this is job security? To me I look at it like you've just now wasted almost ten years building trust within this professional work relationship with this man! Who really now is tolerating you cause his baby girl adores you! Nevermind the fact that everyones been aware of your relationship for alil over 10 years with your girlfriend and the pending divorce of the mother of your child! These all should scream character flaws to this chick's parents as to the ways their daughter can look forward to being treated! I hope she gets A prenuptial to protect her families business..?
Another Amber Heard. Holy cow.
Notice how the mother and her daughter are laughing in the restaurant like is okay. They are EVIL TO THE CORE.
30 years or more her life is now dead.
Ballet,guns and God an unusual combination!
😂😂😂😂
It's something wrong with a grown fifty plus old man who wants to be with a 23 year old young lady, he's not that religious please he got what he went looking for smh!!!
13:00 Ashley wasn't poisoned; but she was poisonous, and vindictive! Poor man. 1:23:10 Just look at her eyes -- she seems utterly soulless and without mercy!
A drama queen, I had a friend/neighbor just like Ashley and ended up murdered for playing head games with the wrong people. Drama Queen numero uno. Sad for this gentleman, rest in peace.
She is guilty .. she fake and did not shed one tear..someone needs to have someone looking out for that little girl ..
The mother was part of this whole plot. For the sake of the child I hope that someone else gets custody of her.
No need for 2 episodes. It's redundant. Waste of time.
So many unanswered questions. Did she have friends? Only person mentioned was her mother, what was her social life like and how did she communicate with other people? Obviously she has time to date and get engaged, what happened to the fiancée? She’s guilty a million percent but there’s so much more they could have brought to light. Also I don’t think the child is safe with the grandma because she’s an accomplice.
