I've heard this story so many times, I didn't think I'd hear anything new. Casefiles never disappoints with their research.
They are by far the most thorough true crime channel I have come across. And I watch a lot of true crime lol.
Even tho I'm from Texas, I hadn't heard of this case, ever!
You hear hypnosis. See my comment.
Jesus christ, these are two whole grown ass adults. They email and text like middle schoolers.
I was suspicious of her messages right away, but only because i expect the very worst of people in these situations... Monsters like her are all around. Be careful who you let into your lives!
This is what can happen when we fall victim to the Yesterdays instead of moving forward to new beginnings 😮
Messed up. Guy is not without fault, but damn she knew how to manipulate an already broken man.
Yay....our Aussie anonymous narrator whom we love so much, is back ♥️
I love his voice.
@@theresahenderson3534 Me too 😍
Ditto ❤
Indeed. The new thing they're trying is not for me. This is why I'm here.
@@starion88esir I agree. No offense to the other podcast chick, but listening to her is not the same nor anywhere near as great imo. No others come close to Casefile and our Aussie behind the voice! 🎉
Darren went on a 10 hour interstate trip, to a strange place, a trip that was supposed to be both highly important and highly secret. Darren goes on this trip without bringing a map or written directions, choosing instead to rely solely on his cellphone GPS. Darren does not have any kind of plan b should his cellphone lose reception, or runs out of battery, or otherwise becomes unusable... He has to turn that cellphone on because he got lost, and turning on that cellphone led to his eventual arrest. All because he didn't think to bring a map. For someone who seems to base his whole identity on being former military, it doesn't sound like he was a very good soldier. 🤦
He also chose not to do ANY independent research on his own, before choosing to execute a total stranger. He just listened to Jennifer and that's it. Someone like that is incredibly dangerous. While I agree that he was manipulated, and his sentence is quite long, he did choose to commit murder in TEXAS of all places. What did expect would happen?? He's lucky he didn't get the death penalty. That's what poor Jaime got, through no fault of his own. RIP to Jaime.💜
His brain was not working properly after trauma he received in the military it was officially recognised
They’re all cuckoo
Most criminals aren't very bright.
Special Forces bro. Like the Special Olympics. ;)
I was surprised by his use of his GPS as well instead of using a map particularly considering his military background. A map would seem like criminal 101. At least it got them both caught.
I spose when he hears that song, he now knows what might have been!
How anyone can be roped into this kinda crap nowadays is unacceptable. We know too much and have heard it all. Jamie and his family will never have peace but may God be with them
You can glean what happened early on in Part 1, but this got so much worse than I could've imagined. What a psycho
The fact that all this saga was unfolding via e-mails (in 2020s, the age of messengers) without people involved even hearing each other's voices once immediately made it obvious what this was all about. And these are adults, who had adult jobs and children of their own.
How do you think Trump became so popular - people can be downright stupid.
@@christopherscottcarpenterImagine thinking you're so smart that blaming Trump supporters is an argument for anything.
@@GregDeman I was citing an example, not making an argument. You’re one of them, aren’t you?
@christopherscottcarpenter Citing an example of what? No, I'm not "one of them",
@@christopherscottcarpenterwhat an arrogant bigot.
He belongs in jail for killing a guy over a sow like that 🐷..RIP to the Victim
Wow, what a case!
I've been down some rabbit holes before, but nothing like this.
Thank you for yet another brilliant incite into yet another fascinating case.
What rabbit holes have you been down?
Was the part about her being a therapist true? Cuz goddamn that's scary too.
If that's not scary enough, I swear a Clinical Director I had to deal with was a PSYCHOPATH👿 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE warn your loved ones that REAL LIVE DEMONS are all over that field should they seek treatment.
I did not know she was a THERAPIST! That just makes this even more batty and I didn't think that was possible!
You're doing a phenomenal job as always and I'm literally already losing sleep after finding your channel just yesterday but I'm a TC Binger to my core and to find a channel this great is to go ON ONE! 😆
Imagine all of her former patients. Knowing they had been going to that "therapist". She needed a therapist worse than anyone.
RIP JAMIE XXX...i feel very sorry for both men involved here, omg that woman is one of the most manipulative saddistic women i have ever heard about, Darrens sentence is far too long !!!!!!
I agree his sentence was way too long. Yes, he's an adult & had a choice but what a barrage of manipulation!!!!
Also, what a sadistic imagination she has!!!!
Darren put himself right in the middle of her marriage..He knew she was married. He was thinking of himself…
Absolutely outstanding. Mad respect.
62 years…..way too much.
I agree. I feel terrible for the man who lost his life but it’s crushing to think of what she did to her accomplice. Woman can be cruel and manipulative but there aren’t words for what this woman did. She sought to lessen her culpability in the eyes of her father; I’d love to know what sort of childhood she had and specifically if her mother was in her life. A person doesn’t end up with a personality that disordered without some kind of emotional trauma early on. Just wow.
No it isn’t!! He deliberately put himself right in the middle of her marriage. He’s a right dinlow ..
Tell his victim's daughter and family that.
@@IrishIHadAPotatoHonestly as horrible as it is to accept, for the sale of justice someone probably has to. He was an exploited, broken man, not without culpability but not nearly as culpable as their mother, the one who masterminded it all.
He deserves severe punishment for his gullibility alone. It was so obvious that the stories were bullshit.
Outside of work, who even emails as a main mode of communication anymore?!? That alone should have been a giant red flag that something wasn’t on the up and up.
Did you miss the part where he had severe cognitive impairments and had suffered traumatic brain injuries? He wasn’t an idiot, he was severely damaged person who was manipulated by a mental health professional that knew exactly which buttons to press.
Obviously it’s easy to judge but it’s not like he was a non-disabled person without extensive trauma and who was an avid technology user.
It wasn’t really a case of him being stupid, he was manipulated into fully trusting someone he knew in real life. It’s not like Catfish where they don’t know the people IRL.
Ideally he should have contacted her family even if he was scared of calling the police, but he didn’t and he’s paying for his choice to kill rather than alert her family.
The prosecution was spinning things as negatively as possible, but the one thing I very much agree with them about is that he committed premeditated murder. There was no way it fell under self defence.
I think he should have received a lesser sentence but he certainly belongs in prison. He was a victim of manipulation but Jamie was the only innocent party.
Thank you for the follow up podcast from your previous one. I really appreciate your time and effort in bringing us both sides of this tragic story.
Darren, who seems to have been a decent man at heart, was so played. What a manipulative sociopath!
... um. Ok. I guess that's why reasonable and/or responsible men created jurys.
@@Loralanthalas Juries are a joke. Only take a jury if you are guilty. If not , bench trial.
@@Loralanthalasoh yes......all hail the justice system which has so many loopholes that destroys 100s of lives
I was getting withdrawal mate 😂
Saturday were dull without this podcasts
Anyone else battle sleep against Casefile ep's? Sleep wins plenty of times for me haha. I have to make sure I set the sleep timer, or I'm subconciously listening to murder all night 😂
This story and this woman is so messed up.
The second she decided she didn't want to call the cops it was suss.
Now this was a top notch rollercoaster
Rollercoaster is right - dayum.
whew just looked up her photo 😬 probably wasn't worth it
I love the song What Might Have Been by Little Texas almost aa much as an early Saturday morning Casefile upload.
Twenty minutes in and I'm totally horrified.
Idk sounds kinda hot
40 minutes and its a rollercoaster😂
Stunningly well crafted true crime story. Easily in the top 10 Casefiles.
This was crazy. Thanks for another awesome story, Casefile Presents.
no no no Darren is a victim as well.... he was decent n thought he was doing the right thing in a desperate situation. 5 years should have been his sentence... she should get LIFE
Decent? Yeh right!!! Seeking out an ex girlfriend , laying the schmuk on pretty thick to break up a marriage .. Victim? My Arse !!!
Five years? For a cold blooded and orchestrated execution? How would you explain that to Jamie's daughter and family? Would you feel safe knowing Darren was walking free through your community? Get real.
saving this one for tonight.. no way to listen with sunshine peeking through windows!
I'm good to go: it's a cloudy, rainy, Saturday: not a chance of any sunlight here!
Good point!! I think I’ll do the same!
I get these about 6am -ish Saturday mornings in Texas. It's going to be another triple digit summer day in south Texas (100°F or more 🔥)
8:00 p.m. it starts.
@@thegreencat9947 10pm here now and I’m starting it finally!
Just found your channel, thanks! Great narration, I'm looking forward to listening to my new favorite bedtime stories, peace. 😁
I'd never heard of this murder. You are excellent storytellers... what a horrific woman. Newspaper articles etc. cannot convey the evil in this woman. What i haven't found is whether or not she has possibility of parole.
Good morning from Texas!
My reaction: "Oh for heaven's sake!"
I did notttt see these plot twists coming omg what the helll.. and it’s all so recent 🤯
Well. I don't believe Darren deserved 62 yrs. He was used. He was to emotionally involved with a psychopath.
Yes, he was used and so gullible but how many of us would drive to another state to out and out take someone's life?
A severely injured veteran who is not supported appropriately after serving his country and left with a very limited hope for his future.
@@ld-zj1bn Yeah, circumstances primed him for this and she knew that. She worked him and sadly he can see that now. She's pure EVIL.
WOW!! I let my food go cold, listening to this...
I feel like Darren got too harsh a punishment. She basically manipulated a mentally disabled man into murder for hire. When the trial was questioning the logic of his actions, yes, his logic makes no sense for a mentally sound and nondisabled person. But he's not a nondisabled person, and that heavily influenced his actions and the steps he believed were logical to take. He should be in a psychiatric facility, not prison -- everything about him screams "mentally unwell" and it's not like prison is going to make him any better
The person I feel the worst for in all of this, though, is Jaime and Jennifer's daughter. I can't even imagine.
A guy with documented mental problems gets 62 years?
I get curious during these videos... Thinking, This chick must be gorgeous! Googled them. Not quite what I'd pictured. Thanks case file. I absolutely love your videos! Another reason to love Saturdays.
Omg same!!! I haven't Googled their photos yet, but as I was listening to this earlier this morning, I thought: does she have a golden 🐈, or what??
Yeah there’s a whole genre of women men kill for that.. look like this lol. Reminds me of Katherine Knight
@@MeghanBeanYeh that’s one evil and sadistic Cnut!!!
I visited your UA-cam channel and your video quality is very good.
Hatred destroys you
Pure wickedness. Glad she got life in prison.
20 minutes in... What point do we find out that she's catfishing him?
Wow... To take advantage of a combat veteran like this... Man. What a horrible woman. This disgusts me on so many levels... All the damage this woman caused, and for what? She's a disgrace, and she should be in jail forever. Poor Darren, manipulated straight into jail. Unreal...
SPOILER ALERT - Listen first, read later!! I'd never heard of this case before and listened to both parts today whilst cooking (my usual weekend 'treat'). What a freaking wild ride! I'm stunned at the level of evil, and horrified that Jennifer was in the trusted and caring occupation of a therapist as well as being a mother!! I was just about rooting for ol' Darrin towards the end but I think ultimately he got his just desserts as well. Clearly Jennifer has some kind of mental and/or personality disorder whilst also being very high functioning. The fact that she wanted a previous husband dead shows a nasty pattern. I'm always astounded how these kinds of people successfully manage to dupe so many whilst simultaneously causing untold chaos and hurt. I hope she rots in hell. I feel terribly sad for her daughter, although potentially Jennifer's true self may not have been so well disguised behind closed doors. Who knows? Another great podcast thank you! 🤩
🤭
So cool I was just looking for something for a bedtime story 🌙⭐
Me too.
Same :)
Morning story for me!
Had a good sleep then....? 🤣
@@zonahfalak4261 haha yep always. . I fell asleep to 100s of these 😀
The very second I heard about Jamie messaging Darren, I immediately assumed that Jennifer was doing it all and setting Darren up. I will find out if I was correct.
Your explanation of ptsd and tbi was one of the best descriptions I've ever heard.
She knew exactly what she was doing. The simple fact that she had tried almost the exact same scheme with one of her previous husbands shows what she was capable of. She should have most definitely received a much longer sentence than she did.
The fact that she was a "professional" therapist who manipulated someone with such severe mental issues should have allowed her to receive additional years to her sentence. In my opinion she should have been charged with some form of medical malpractice. If only he had actually been her patient, maybe things would have ended differently.
Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Anonymous. Wonderful to have you back. Someone suggested pictures. . . .a big fat NO to that. Why would we need pictures? It's a story. Just listen to it and enjoy the voice. I live in Canada and usually I have to listen hard to understand accents. Not yours. Proud to be a subscriber. Blessings to you and to all those who love you.
Pretty sure you’re complimenting an AI voice 😂
Uhg the emails back n forth .barf
😂
Cant wait to watch this tonight
Just looked up this woman. Wow, certainly no prize, but that hasn't stopped her ruining lives.
Imagine pretending physical beauty is the only way to convince one human to screw another.
I just did the same,what a shock to my eyes, euch
I'd say she's a cow, but that'd be an insult to cows.
@@tillitsdone 100 % right.
Ewwww! Ugh! 😩 🤮🤢
As someone with a neurological disability, I empathize with Darren so much. I can only begin to imagine what that level of betrayal feels like. His sentence benefits nobody, he isn't a danger to anyone. This case is a perfect example of why large-scale criminal justice reform/reimagining is so important, especially in the context of disability.
Bullshit.
Betrayal of Darren ? Don’t make me laugh. He set out to break her marriage up. Once he knew she was married he should have cut contact .
And a major reason why veterans should be treated properly and given all the resources necessary to support them in life after being so severely injured when serving their country at the expense of their own futures.
This is an absolutely shocking story.
Here we go!
Very interesting case, I'd not heard it before. Thanks 😊
Thank you Mr Casefiles!
Much love from America
🇺🇸😘🇦🇺
This is one of the most twisted, fucked-up cases I have come across.
Good story. I was married for 30 years to a man who was totally kind, honest and morally superior. It was all an act. He was so good at manipulation as it turns out it’s because he is a psychopath. I don’t know if I figured it out by becoming his target, or because his alcoholism stripped his defensive cover. My therapist told me you can’t expect a person to be anything, even if you’ve known them forever.
Dang all this time i thought Darren was the evil one behind this, but she's the true master mind, i didn't finish it yet but watch her get a fraction of the sentence compared to Darren
I don't believe for one second Darren thought the emails were from Jamie. It was purely to set up the murder.
I'm consistently dismayed at the evil that walks among us and sometimes even lives right next door
Knew in the 911 call when she doesnt startbscreaming till well after hes dead
Not sure why Darren wouldn't go to the police right away. He had proof. Also, Jennifer seems like kind if an idiot for not going to the cops as well.
I feel like they enjoyed this on some level. Normal people would leave their home before letting their spouse force them into these bizarre sexual abuse situations. This all seems like a sick role play thing between Darren & Jennifer
Even though darren was tricked, i still think he shouldn't be out of prison, he showed that under the right conditions he can be manipulated into harming someone, that's not something normal people are able to do, so he and his mastermind should get life without parole and everything they own should go to the family of the victim.
Just when you think you know someone.
I really have to wonder whether the jury considered Darren’s diminished capacity by way of disability quite thoroughly enough. I really, really feel for him, even knowing he took an innocent man’s life.
He wasn’t playing with a full deck and got manipulated.
Not saying he should be totally absolved of responsibility either, but 62 years is absolutely excessive. Might as just well have given him life too, and he’s simply not as culpable for it all as she is. Whatever you think of him, it’s undeniable that he was exploited.
wow my man did all that without Even gettin any lol ppl r fuckin nuts
Evan was disappointed I'm sure
😂😂😂 he hadn't seen her in 30 years!!!
@@texastea5686 you see what she looks like? hahahah poor guy
This is a great story that teaches that people with psychiatric disorders like PTSD or any condition,we are mostly victims,we are the vulnerable ,like her husband....
U see TV films and lawyers teach u that PTSD or schizophrenia is a danger to normal people but normal people are tend to be the attackers
We suffer inside,yes ,we are difficult to live with ,but in the end we tend to harm only our selfs no others,by suicide , restless behaviour,we use everything,to ease the pain inside of us, not to do You harm
Rip to any victims,my greetings to any human being that suffers from a mental illness,i am bilingual, hopefully u understand.....
Don't be afraid of us
That is a mad case, heard both parts now and finished a documentary a few nights ago. I still don't see why he had to beat her up aswell, imagine having to explain later "sorry baby, I had to make it look real." While she's laying there in pain 😂 obviously not like
ii researched this case already forgotten
Excellent recounting of an extremely diabolical & manipulative plot. QUESTION: Is there reason why you say "the Jamie" & "the Jennifer" several times throughout both parts?
Is this 2/2? I'm lost
No Country For Old Men
Welcome back aussie , from 🇬🇹
Surprisingly entertaining
The first story is ridiculous how he allowed her to manipulate him into murder. I’m not even 15 minutes in and know that’s the case. Stupid.
Thanx Edinburgh lass 😊
Why did you stop putting the file number and part 1/2 in the titles? It's a huge disservice to your listeners
I can see where this is going. She is a weirdo bullshitter. These kind of people are out there. I’ve met one and now nothing surprises me with regards the lengths some can go to with their lies.
Great script ( except for the Jennifer AI ! ) greed & the hunger for power

Its a podcast, not a video lol
Rip Jaime fly high I honestly feel sorry for both men Darren deserves to be punished but not 62 years maybe 10 but he is a victim in this I mean for sure they prosecution know so too
Darrin should not have received such a hefty sentence.
This sounds like it’s jenififer all along and not Jamie , Jen is setting up Darren so he will kill Jamie with out being co conspirator, I’ll just need keep listening
This really needs a content warning!! I only listen to certain podcast episodes because I don't want to hear violent SA content. This week you chose not to warn us? 😢
get a grip. jesus.
Did you stop listening? Just curious.
None of it was real.
Well, fuck!
Elite Soldier? Doesn't that mean best at killing? Not life? Just 62 years? How long is that guy planning on living?
Believe Women!
Wait....
Yeah, but just how reasonable were her stories? Multiple gang rapes?
She was a master manipulator and played a disabled, vulnerable man to perfection.
In general, believe women, the liars get the publicity but they aren't as common as men would like to believe.
Exactly. As a woman of the ripe age if 48, I've met and known plenty of lousy ones.
@@texastea5686Me too!!
Ah yes. Because there's just as many cases of something like this as there are actual SA crimes.
Wait....
Also, how many of these episodes involve women being disregarded by police after an assault, giving their abusers a chance to continue their abuse?
And you leave this comment? Jesus wept.
BS
Last 30 years??! How old are these two??! 😂🤣
You know, I always thought that this channel creator just has a super monotone, boring voice and delivery.
Now, I think that these stories may be narrated by a computer. Why else would there be a T in front of the names? Not always, sometimes Jennifer is pronounced correctly. Other times it's T-Jennifer. Same with the others in the story.
I think that I will stick to other channels
If Jaimie was physically harming her, why didn’t she leave and go to the police??! Why in the hell did she stay with him??! I can’t listen to this anymore, this is all too absurd!
Why is her husband blaming him?! Why I did she start talking to him in the first place??!
Wish there wasn't a spoiler so early in the episode
😮😢
😳

How old were these participants, the whole scenario sounds like a made up as you go drama, this is what "educated" Americans are then, thick RIP
