I knew it as soon as all those 9 bullets missed her, that she was involved. That man was nothing but good to you, he didn't deserve this. I feel sorry for her daughter and Jamie.
Same. Watched way too many of these to hear the whole “he tied her hands and tried to take her rings” story without knowing she set it up. Really creepy individuals.
Me here knew straight away
It’s a classic story
I originally felt sorry for Amber, too, but nah... not if she continues to see and stay in such close contact after what she did/had done to the "only father she ever knew."
I knew when they mentioned it was her third marriage... I know it's not indicative in general, but as part of the story I found it suspicious.
Poor Jamie, he didn't deserve that, that woman is pure evil, she is clearly a danger to society.
and that man isn't evil, he was the one who killed him
@@beaulieuc8910 What are you trying to say??
@beaulieuc8910 Yeah, the man is a killer, but she is pure evil.

That over the top sobbing act at the police station was nauseating.
I actually started to believe it too. Sickening
I had to fast forward it! It was nauseating
I’ll never understand why people choose murder over a simple divorce.
I know. I can't understand it. Murder isn't the answer. Divorce is the correct and only answer here. I know a daughter kill her mother. Because see was kick out of college and didn't want her mother know about it. Another one a best friend hold $32,000 from a friend, for safe keeping. She spend it all in about 3 months. The friend wanted the money back and instead telling her, she spent it all. She took her to a farmer's property and shot her in the head. Mom I got kicked out of college. Best friend I spent all your money you gave me to hold for you. Take the consequences and on the chin and deal for your actions. Don't kill for it, that's jail time. I rather someone be mad and disappointed at me and just deal with it, than going to jail for a very long time and chances to die in prison.
Its a little like hitting your thumbs with a hammer, and seeing which thumb hurts more, it just doesn't make any sense, seems some people live in "cuckoo land"
Life insurance money.

Why shoot that many times, essentially overkill one, yet leave a witness alive? It was so obvious she hired him to be killed. 😑
So obvious
Right I knew right away
So obvious. I knew before I even watched the video. Woke up this morning and just knew it
@@Boodoo4Youwoke up 😂and just knew?!
Hi - bullets aren't as lethal as you would think. Sure, you can catch a random round and die from the simplest shot, but there are people that get hit with multiple gunshot wounds and survive. Most pistols carry a standard load of 15 rounds with an optional 1 preloaded in the chamber for a total of 16. He probably unloaded enough to know he had completed the job. 9 is a reasonable number.
The only (very) small blessing in this horrible and ugly incident is that Jamie never found out that his wife was behind it.
Yeah but it's too bad he didn't find out what she was up too in time to realize that she was setting him up and save his own life. It's scary to think someone can be married to such a horrible person for so many years and not even realize it.
Sure, it's too bad he didn't find out her plan and save himself, but he didn't. Just like it's too bad JFK's Secret Service detail didn't see Lee Harvey Oswald before they got to the Book Depository and jump to protect him earlier. But they didn't.
@@michaelbeusch3646 Everybody knows the SS were involved, well anybody with half a brain cell lol
@@michaelbeusch3646 if you think Lee Harvey Oswald had anything to do with the murder of JFK you have a lot to learn it’s been proven Oswald never fired a gun that day. It’s called a paraffin wax test ,look it up. It was conducted on him and proven he fired. No gun at anyone.
I know I am glad of that too, He died never knowing this horrible woman planned to kill him. Its too bad he found out about the affair.
adding the picture at the end of Jamie cuddling a kitty almost brought me to tears rest in peace sweet man :(
Always perplexing how just one person can end and ruin the lives of SO MANY people ...
Psychopath. They look -- and usually act -- like ordinary people, but their brains are just different.
How does someone like this have multiple husbands and partners. Blows my mind 🤯
Just power of manipulating …look back to humans misbehaving like Hitler…. his talent to control millions and using them for his twisted mind !
She is far from a catch too..... yikes....
Multiple - that’s your clue
Malignant narcissists can do that. They specifically prey on certain individuals, whether they're vulnerable, or simply unaware of narcissistic tactics.
Shes gives good dome
You went into waaaaayyy more detail than some other episode I watched. This woman was just pure evil. I will never understand how someone can talk another person into killing someone else. Great but chilling episode
Never saw a single teardrop from her. 😢
I really enjoyed all the detail, too, including getting to read the letters. Great channel.
Her cries were so fake.
@@BrenMurphy1I mean, it’s very hard to see a minuscule transparent tear drop when you’re watching a clip from a news story on a low resolution video that’s been uploaded and compressed multiple times. She looked like she was crying to me, but not for him, more so for herself.
Απλά γιατί πίστεψε τα ψέματα της
God that woman is pure evil. When you watch the clip as they leave the house with the dog on that deadly morning, Jamie seems to stall for a moment. It’s as though he was going to turn back to the house. It gave me the impression that he didn’t want to go out that morning but she had argued until he relented. He looked around in both directions almost as though he sensed the impending danger she was forcing him out into. How could she be so heartless? Pure evil!
Conjecture, stick to the facts they're bad enough
I knew it was her from the start, my spirit of discernment, her lack of tears was the final straw. What a beast. What a horrible woman. She had multiple chances at love, many husbands, but was never satisfied. This man took her daughter from a previous marriage in and yet she turns to pay him back with his life. Pure evil, may she rot!
Jennifer had a man that really loved her & her daughter and a marriage that lasted for 15 yrs. They were well taken care of. When I think of all the woman who would do anything to be able to have a relationship like that. His actions were really terrible but I think Jennifer indoctrinated a vulnerable lonely man who was mentally unstable. It doesn't make it any better but it goes a long way in partially explaining his actions, which I think he deeply regretted.
Your “spirit of discernment?”
Yes! All that bawling and not a single tear....
@riggs20 don't bother.
The first video of them dancing make me see she was a bad person
Wow. Disgusting. She completely ruined two families for absolutely No reason. Wow, shockingly I have no words!
3 if you count her daughter's future family. No grandparents.
☕️
Absolutely. She is a vile, evil woman. What about her own daughter?? Poor Jamie though. Rest in Peace XO
@@MKCarol-ms7lgkids grow up without grandparents all the time. I would say that ruins a family.
@@MrGFloyd Not completely ruined but damaged.
The dramatic "acting" as Jennifer was interviewed by police veered from calm to outright grief. Again & again. That's when I knew. What a vile manipulative monster. I'd have sentenced her to a 6 month oxygen ban.
Yhh the subtitles read:
"**Unintelligible crying"
She was blatantly crumbling from acting and breaking character. 😮😮😮🤯🤯🤯🤯
Fitting sentence seeing as how she's an oxygen theif
Room temperature challenge
😂😅
It’s quite shocking how much real footage you have compiled, from the start of the crime, to mournful hugs, to police interview, this is amazing editing.
“I just hope at some point this person can recognize the gravity of what they’ve done and feel some sort of guilt enough to come forward “
The audacity.
It was a weird thing to say. Nothing about wanting to see the perpetrator caught.
That's one heck of an extremely manipulating woman. She is where she needs to be, and should never be released. Ladies, you've done a first class video here. Thank you.
Lisacolledge in a way your right my view is she should have got the death penaulty shes evil beyond evil.
Her initial police interrogation is so cringe... 😬
Every time she is on camera is cringe. I had to fast forward.
@@ertjiesb4158 😂😂
I forgot about that. At that point I still believed her. Except when she said he was "latino". Something about that popped out to me.
Yeah her jazz hands while explaining the incident and her eyes really gave away that she was lying her ass off
For real. I woulda just placed her under arrest right there
I honestly feel bad for Darren. He was completely manipulated in so many ways. Jennifer is a truly evil monster! I can't even imagine what Jamie's family went through during this entire situation. I hope they can find some kind of peace and healing. So tragic.
When i saw that he was a green beret with ptsd who got manipulated by this horrible human being, couldn't help but feel that his sentence was a bit harsh. I think at his age, 15 to 20 years with therapy (don't forget he needs help) and possibility of parole would have been better fit
Absolutely. The guy was guilty, but the prison sentence is just way over the top.
@42ronty plus he had a brain injury, which made him very susceptible to the false narrative she created. He genuinely thought he was rescuing her from a violent abusive person, which explains the overkill. Obviously it was wrong, but there are extenuating circumstances for him. *She* , however, rightly should have the majority of blame and sentence.
Poor Jamie. 😓 He seemed like such a nice person. She was lucky to have him. She not only ruined her life but also torn her daughter’s world apart 😓 no sympathy for that evil woman. Selfish evil woman. 😡 RIP Jamie. 🙏
Jamie was shot again and again and again and again, and yet Jennifer was not shot once?!? Case closed, folks.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
and the shooter had time to fiddle with duck tape?
I just don’t understand people was collecting money for like people are crazy all that money was sent money to the killer and he’s kids
Wearing a T-shirt with a Human Kind slogan knowing she murdered her husband. Just vile.
never just believe what a woman says
@@tankthearc9875 but technically it wasn't a woman who said that... it was a shirt 🤷♀️
Aaaaaand the incel has joined the chat!
@@joanodom2104 😭☠️ spot on
Total red flag. Anyone with a shirt or whatever with "be kind" or anything similar is always the worst kind of person on the inside!
One thing I notice when watching things like this, the killers almost always do interviews repeatedly with the news. Crazy these people
I absolutely love the authenticity of this channel, from it being an actual narrator, instead of it being an AI voice generated video. The level of detail is what keeps me coming back as well. Thank you for all you do. Thank you🙏🏼
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it :) 🖤
This is absolutely heart-wrenching. Jamie looked like (or seemed like) such a great guy. What a terrible loss. 😢
"Looked like"? More like sounded like.
@@loveforeignaccents Some people function visually, and their language reflects that. Do you see what I'm saying?
He did seem like just a really sweet, normal guy. I hope Amber is going well.
I feel so sorry for the daughter.
Not to me he seemed off
Seeing people cry usually makes me cry. So, if I see someone 'crying' and I feel nothing or I feel like cringing, then I'm confident that they're faking it.
I was not expecting that. What a twisted story. Very sad, I really feel for Darrin being manipulated like he’s the gun but she’s pulling the trigger.
Would make an awesome movie.
The more I watch of these interviews/interrogation-breakdowns, the easier it gets to spot fake crying
Looking at Jennifer, I couldn't wrap my mind around the thought that any man would be willing to kill for HER😳
Ikr. She's no prize.
That's your takeaway?
Jaba the hut
...even sleep with her. Yuks!
@@suzannecoladonato6313Yeah that about sums it up.
What a shocking story, those crocodile tears were sickening. Excellent narrating once again.
Taking someone’s life, especially someone so innocent is absolutely disgusting.
There is a reason she’d been pass around twice before this angel walk into her life,how some demons are lucky to get good man is something that always pisses me off😢
Jennifer is an absolutely despicable person. Jamie didn't deserve it and I find myself feeling sympathetic towards Darrin too. He was taken advantage of as well.
Really, Darren decided to kill so that’s on him.
@@girvanherman7939 Yep! If he was so worried about her, he could have simply went to the police. He is where he needs to be if he's seriously that unstable!!!
Darren was manipulated, but he was a grown man with a lot of different options other than murder.
I think Darren was wooed by all the money she kept throwing his way and was motivated by the insurance settlement.
Otherwise, he could have just said "theres no way im gonna K him. Just pack your stuff while he is at work and come live with me where he cant 'hurt' you. Then start divorce procedings from here".
He could have even driven down to help. But no, he drove down and took the law into his own hands.
I thought he would have gotten 25 years, tops. Shocked at 60+!
@@girvanherman7939muppet. How many d.v cases result in the murder of the victim BECAUSE the police failed to intervene. The man was a fool but acted to save a life based on what he knew and what he was trained to do.
It is awful that an innocent man was killed, but its insult to injury for that man to be in jail for the rest of his life because of a manipulative evil cnut (intentional misspelling).
She liked the attention, toxicity and the idea that a man would kill for her. Of course she was looking forward to any financial gain she’d receive, but that seems secondary to this imaginary world she created for herself. Rest in peace Jamie ❤️
She would have killed Darrin if she hadn't been stopped.
@@MKCarol-ms7lg Was just going to say this! She's a piece of work.
It just crazy how he’s her ex and he just go and kill someone because of the statement she made it ridiculous
"She liked the attention, toxicity and the idea that a man would kill for her"
This is exactly it... the thought of someone willing to kill for her. The promise of life insurance money was just icing on the cake.
@@iveliserojas612 super ridiculous but unfortunately some men are crash dummies once they hear DV. They won’t even want to hear details and other side just blind idiotic rage
Why was she allowed to collect money from his estate, absolutely disgusting! If murder some one for money you should forfeit your right to a single penny
How vile. Some of these stories inexplicably hit really hard and this is one of them. Jamie looks like a lovely person.
When he was shot multiple times & all bullets missed her & she wasn’t even really hurt, I knew she was involved. I never understand cases like this. Get a divorce. Don’t kill your spouse - you will get caught & it is insanity & sickly wrong.
Get a divorce? Then you don't get the dough, which is clearly what she wanted, as well as most of the people/spouses involved in such cases do.
@@loveforeignaccents they were married 15yrs - she would’ve gotten a lot of money in a divorce. 1/2 his assets & spousal support for at least 4yrs.
@@jennajune2101I'd honestly rather get shot than be screwed over financially like that. That's why I would never get married
@@jennajune2101 Legalized robbery.
She’s clearly a psycho! If she got away with it, she’d do the same thing to Darren
7 minutes in and the wife is fake crying. Unbearable. It's her, right? 😅
SAME 🙄!!!!
She walked in front of him and not beside him. Very telling
Yup I noticed that too!! He had to run to catch her up
My sister always does that to me when we go for walks. What is that????
@@Lenergyiskey358 Sisters can do that but your wife. Not so much.
@@LamarMeansThis thread just prompted me to investigate this trait. It is typical of a narcissist. Sister or wife this is not normal.
@@Lenergyiskey358 some cultures have the women walk behind the husband. I won't say which one.
Truly Criminal is one of my favorite channels, I love the down to earth and calm way you always portray the cases. This case really hits me hard. Jamie seemed such a kind person that would never have thought that this was the last day on earth for him. No one deserves this, but this is just cold and callous. Another murder for one's own gain...
Her manipulation and guilt was instantly apparent to me, especially when she was talking to the police and again on her news interviews. Horrible.
She had to pay $250,000 to the gov but only $6,500 to the family? That seems a little backwards
Yeah, wonder why she would have to pay that $250k at all?!?!?!!?
So many people in the US seem wrong and backwards, so I'm not even surprised.
@@loveforeignaccents trial costs maybe?
@@ChrisAndCats Perhaps. Watched this five months ago and don't remember any details surrounding the case now.
I can't believe she wasn't the prime suspect immediately. Those were some of the worst crocodile tears I've seen in true crime, not to mention the circumstance of the crime...
This is the first I’m seeing this channel. Immediately subscribed. Excellent delivery on the content.
All the more appalling…showering her lover with gifts using the gofundme money 😭
Rip Jamie 💔
In the meantime, he was about to lose his house for being unable to make the mortgage payments and have the -- what was it? -- water or electricity shut off. What a "brainiac" she was. Glad the GFM dough was reimbursed to the people that donated at least!!
No guilt there, no conscience
Just sick!!!!
I remember this news when it came out and I remember watching Jennifer's TV interviews. Something about the way she was talking to these interviews didn't sound right to me but I couldn't tell what. When it was revealed that she was arrested for the murder for hire, I wasn't in the least surprised. She's evil.
Jamie didn't deserve what happened to him. He seemed to be a really kind man. May he rest in eternal peace.
What does 'evil' mean to you?
@@muscleandhate Probably the same thing it means to everyone. Do you not have access to a dictionary or some way to look up the definition of the word online?
She didn't understand how people talk when they're distraught. It's not wailing the entire time. People are usually able to get control of themselves for periods or at least attempt to, she was just forcefully crying. Watching police interviews of innocent family members there can be crying but they usually seem to be more in shock and trying to find out what happened and be helpful.
Crocodile tears
@@KUTOU-qi7joexcept she didn't have any actual tears. Just "the crying voice" & sniffling.
I absolutely love this channel...keep up the awesome work
And this woman stood and cried those crocodile tears. I don't understand people capable of doing this.
Jamie, with an attitude of gratitude, gave that single mother and her daughter 1000% of himself. Sadly, it wasn't enough for her. Jennifer wanted to be with another man AND wanted a financial windfall to secure a new life with her broke lover. What a heartless, manipulative lady. Jamie deserved so much better. Glad the GoFundMe donors were reimbursed. RIP Jamie.
During the first half of the case, Mike from That Chapter's life insurance song kept playing in my head. And then, there it was! $600,000+
I think he covered this one too!
Same!!!!!
Same!
Mike is awesome.
Give it a goo!
Excellent channel, so detailed! WOW!
Thank you, look forward to more! 👍
Wonderful presentation as always.
Jamie sounded like such a sweet, outgoing and loyal man. I feel sorry for Darren too. Jen obviously manipulated a lonely man who suffered from PTSD but obviously my sympathies and heart are with Jamie here. He was an innocent man who did absolutely everything he could for his family. RIP Jamie ❤️
I've been lonely too. Doesn't mean I'm going to kill someone because a human thumb told me to.
@@WarGhoulKharasdo you also have ptsd and brain damage? And a person you love in your life who is a manipulative narcissistic psycho going to great lengths to slowly convince you of an entirely false reality?
@@WarGhoulKharassome sympathy for Darren and then you remind yourself he shot him 9 times
And then remind yourself WHY he did that and what he had been through already. Especially when he discovered he killed an innocent man and realized it.
Nope. Darrin had absolutely no justification for executing / murdering Jamie. If he thought Jennifer was in actual trouble, he could have called the Faiths' local police department to investigate the alleged (fake) abuse. And for Darrin to attempt to blame it on his PTSD and brain injury and try to play the, "I served my country" card is pathetic. That goes 3 million times more for Jennifer, and Darrin should have known that. If she was in "danger," Darrin should have told Jennifer to call the police on Jamie. No excuse for murdering Jamie. NONE.
The detective is like .".......mmm hmmmm...." While Jennifer fake cries her way through the interrogation. She should google what innocent people actually look like
Happy new years! Cant wait for another year of great videos
Thank you for such inspiration and informative videos💜
i do believe darrin should be punish for what he did, but also he did come out and seem genuinely upset at what he had done when he realized he had been tricked. i understand his mindset trying to save the women he loved and thought loved him back. doesn’t justify murder but he was still a victim in this too
I believe he should have got some time in a mental hospital clearly he never recovered from the war,and 10 years probation.
Agreed!
I agree with both of you. Mainly because mental health was at a diminished capacity, and Mr. Lopez was manipulated into believing his friend that he was in love with, and the friend supposedly reciprocated the same type of feelings for him. I feel like he felt he needed to protect her. And his watching her ties together with his PTSD diagnosis.
And Jennifer was easy on telling the cops about the T sticker on his truck! He would have been just the assassin, and she'll take all the money after Darrin goes down. I don't believe she has feelings for him at all.
Darin had survivor guilt,ptsd,mental health,isolation problems ,she picked and new a perfect assassin.
You can look at Jamie and tell he was gregarious and fun loving, just an all around good man. What Jennifer did is the lowest form of evil. Lies and manipulation for money. That’s it. Despicable. 🤬
Wow! There are no words…I think Darrin’s mental health should have been taken into account more in the sentencing phase. He was in essence given a life sentence. He really believed he was acting in defense of another’s life. Which is actually part of the “self-defense” defense. It’s just such a heartbreaking case. I will never understand how someone can take an incredible “father” out of their child’s life. Amber and Darrin’s daughters are the ones most affected by Jennifer’s actions. I could never do anything intentionally to hurt my child. And, this, is the most brutal of all.
If her daughter still has contact with her I won’t be surprised if she turns out just like her mum.
This story really upset me, it is shocking beyond belief. Her mugshot says it all, nasty, nasty eyes. Whatever did those men see in her?
I’m scratching my head as well, wondering what the attraction was on his part!!
Big you know whats probably.
Right out of shape and sloppy I guess
Yes, it's mind boggling. A deeply unattractive person.
@@fionagregory9147Big what? What am I missing here?
I remember seeing another video about this case. It was obvious she was involved. There is no way an assailant would fire nine times, let her live & only steal a wedding band. Also, she tried so hard to cry during the police interview but I never saw tears.
Jamie seemed like a nice man. I feel terrible for Amber and all those who loved Jamie.
I believe that Lopez was coercively controlled by that monster and he should have been given more leniency.
Just imagine if you will having a brain injury, probably PTSD, depression and reaching out to a former sweetheart who welcomes you with open arms and love bombs you.
I believe he was a decent person with a good moral compass - his concern about breaking up her marriage is testament to that - so she ramps up the pressure by saying her husband abuses her terribly.
Jamie was concerned he would be single forever. Lesson here is sometimes being single ain't such a bad thing.
Whatever happened to just breaking up with your partner when things weren't working out????
9 shots is an overkill & usually indicates a connection to the victim, not a random crime. Leaving the woman alive without any harm & then taking the time to tape her wrists after firing 9 shots that clearly drew attention only not to abduct her has major red flags go up IMO. The killer was only interested in killing the husband obviously. It's the wife & her boyfriend.
I hope she gets the foreclosure she's looking for. And I hope Go Fund ME adapts higher standards.
Money, honey.
Aside from $ she would have gotten from his life insurance and the donations from ppl, I think the wife got off on getting attention. You can tell by how she went out of her way to create all those fake emails to convince her ex that she was being abused, and her previous husband said she'd tried doing the same to him. I'm sure she was also enjoying how the community and strangers were doting on her and offering support in the aftermath of the murder.
@moondoggie92
I think you're right about that. It's angering how many have been conned into giving $ to Go Fund me's that are fraudulent. It really hurts those in real need because people don't want to get conned again by donating to a fake cause so they are hesitant to give anymore.
@@eviehammond9509 I agree. It's unfortunate how many people have no remorse about conning others and eroding the trust of the general public. She was a very extreme case, but there are people like her every day that don't think twice about lying to others to get money, sympathy, etc.
Me personally, I still donate when I have the means and when it feels right to do so. But I completely understand those who hesitate or refuse altogether because of people who take advantage.
She made money, gained sympathy, loved the publicity and neighbours cooked for her.
Gut wrenching. What a sick twisted woman. I can’t see how not one, but two guys were that drawn to her. It’s not like she was this elegant, poised, well-kept and put together woman. Darrin was just as much a victim. He suffered a brain injury, basically lost a whole platoon of his comrades that he witnessed, grand daughter died, went through a divorce lost another friend violently. She capitalized on all of that. He was basically convinced she was going to be killed by her husband. All those reasons she took advantage of are the same reasons why he killed instead of encouraging her to go to the police with all that “evidence “. He was in an extremely vulnerable and unstable place in his life. She knew full well.
Regardless of Darrin's experiences in the military, he is equally culpable. He could have gone to the police, but instead chose to meticulously plan a murder, drive for hours, stalk his victim and shoot him 9 times. He knew right from wrong.
If you think of this critically, the only reason he would agree to this well planned out murder is for the insurance money which he wouldn't have gotten by simply going to the police about the alleged abuse or asking the woman to come live with him while she works out the divorce proceedings.
@@allanshpeley4284 I can’t remember how much the insurance payout was. Do you? Would that really have been his whole motivation? How could he have been so sure he would see any of that money? He was mentally ill and I don’t think he was capable of making any decent decisions or choices.
Yeah, she's a right old dog! There's nothing about her at all!
Dude wasn't a victim. He was an adulterer and cold blooded murderer. They planned on killing the husband, taking his insurance money ($625,000), and living the high life. No victims here, the victim is dead.
Can you imagine the damage this punk did to the daughter he was supposedly going to take on, killing the only good man she'd ever had in her life?
@rocb5473 I don't. But it's typically in the hundreds of thousands and he was on the brink of losing his home. I don't think it was the entire motivation, but I believe it was a factor. And he was capable of making decisions despite being manipulated.
Even if i absolutely loathed my spouse, it would never cross my mind to do this, i would just file for divorce. So glad they figured it out.
5 children without their parents, a man dead, why did she not just leave.
Jamie was clearly a good guy and she lied, she cheated and she convinced someone to murder him. May she rot in jail!!
Love seeing notifications from your channel, especially on a Saturday night! 🎉Big fan from South Africa 🇿🇦 🩷
I will never comprehend how someone would rather take a life and spend the rest of their life in prison rather than just break-up or get divorced.
Greed and co dependency… ppl are selfish. A lot of ppl see their partners as an extension of themselves not as their own individual identities with their own thoughts and action’s…. So divorce or a break up seems like something they can’t see or take emotionally.
It’s hella creepy and scary…
Dough and think they'll get away with it.
Yeah, crazy isn’t it? Especially with all the tech in society, phones and cars and DNA!
Well he won’t have to pay his mortgage any more. But seriously, they really believe they’ve committed the perfect crime.
Insurance money. It's pure greed.
This was a fantastic, yet desperately sad episode. I really felt a strong emotional connection to this. What an evil, evil woman. All for what? I will never be able to understand the psyche of someone like this. Rest in paradise Jamie 😢🕊
I've heard this one before. But you covered it very well!
Halfway through and just checked comments. Knew within 5 mins the wife was behind it all. Jesus Christ, if she can find 4 men to marry her or want to marry her, there is hope for us all!
Perhaps if you didn't use the Lord's name in vain, you would have better luck and chances at finding a decent man.

As soon as she was working very hard on producing a single tear and showed her bad acting during the cringy interrogation I knew she is the culprit.
Don‘t know how badly Darrin really was affected by his injuries but how on earth was he not able to see the watermark of Shutterstock and that the hurt woman on the pictures was almost half the size of her?
6500 to Jamie's family?! That must be missing a couple zeroes 🤔
Great video bud. 😊
Here in India I stay awake till 1230 midnight for your weekly upload, keep at it you guys are awesome 🙌
That’s commitment 👏🏿
Forever the BEST true crime channel on YT ! Hands down 🙌🏽
I agree
Really upsetting he seemed such a beautiful soul . Unbelievable evil . Why ?
Murder is wrong on all levels in a civilised society..
I just realized that Darrin Lopez killer guy lived a few miles from where I grew up in Charlotte, TN and where my parents still live. I knew it looked so familiar when they showed his property so I googled it, found his address, looked at it on google earth to confirm, and it was the same place. It’s weird bc I don’t remember ever hearing about this.
I live across the street from where this took place, but had gone to breakfast at the time it happened. However, when I was heading back home, I saw all the police cars parked on the street I live on and the police stopped me and told me to just wait for a little while at the corner. They wouldn't even let me go to my house. After, asking them several times what had happened, they finally told me about Jamie being shot. I didn't know them, but had waved at them a few times when they were sitting outside on the porch of that house.
Kinda scary knowing you lived right by a seriously evil and manipulative woman...
Thank you for the upload, Truly Criminal! My absolute favourite true crime channel. So thorough and so respectful of the victims. I look forward to your videos every week! Sending so much love from South Africa🤍
What are you thoughts on double amputee man being released? Don't care to look up the proper spelling, again, of his name at the moment... "Pitsorius" (phonetic)?
@@loveforeignaccents That b*stard's been released, has he? Seven years doesn't seem long enough for murder, does it?
Truly heartbreaking 💔 how one very evil woman manipulated an innocent man into taking the life of another innocent man! !! 😱😱😱 She destroyed 4 lives, including her own.
Poor Amber lost her mum and the only father she had known. Jamie didn't deserve what happened. People break up! Don't kill each other.
Most of the time the spouse does it for the insurance money
Well from most these shows I’ve seen anyway
If I am judge, jury, and emperor of the world, I give Jennifer the chair, Darrin 25 years, and Jamie a posthumous award for unknowingly being a faithful husband to an evil woman. Good on him for doing right as a husband to her. But it could not have happened to a worse woman. I hope her daughter finds someone else to talk to.
I don’t know how her daughter can speak to her, she’s pure evil
My thoughts exactly. Hopefully she will learn/realize in the long run that her mom took away the only good and authentic person in her life.
Maybe it's because she's the only parent the daughter has got left. She lost her dad and maybe couldn't deal with losing her mother as well, inspite if what she did. How people deal with trauma isn't super rational.
@@dieSchreckschraubeabsolutely. Poor daughter.
Absolutely disgusting that a jury gave a man with a traumatic brain injury 62 years in prison. Not one person with any knowledge of TBI's on that jury- shameful.
I thought the same thing. As soon as they said he suffered a tbi I was like “oh that’s why he did it,”
The hardest part of this video was watching Jamie *happily walking out of his home so unaware* that he would be gunned down only seconds later.
And evil led the way!!!
That really stuck with me 😢
Has anyone LOOKED at Jennifer!? Not falling on any sword, for THAT. 😬
😂😂😂
Can’t argue with that.
Facts
HOLY COW I worked as a delivery driver in Oak Cliff when this happened. I heard about this on the radio on my way home from work, and being like "wait, I RECOGNIZE that street name"
My mom heard the news and got so scared she bought me a gun 😅
this is twisted...makes ya think about the genuine people in our life and how lucky we truely are.
Jamie of course is a victim and didn't deserve that. I feel for his family and his daughter. I also feel very badly for Darrin. I'm not saying he isn't at fault but she took advantage of him. Truly, no happy ending.
No, Darren definitely needs to be in prison for what he did. But I also feel sorry for him too. That evil b**** took advantage of his love for her, his PTSD, and his brain injury. I'm never going to be able to understand how people can do that kind of thing. I hope nothing but horrible things happen to that woman while she's locked up.
I was thinking that too. The man has brain damage, ptsd and heartbroken. I would rather have him locked up in a mental institution instead of prison...
Thanks. Truly. ❤ Ok, after watching this one I’m a wreck. I also served in the Army and suffer from PTSD so I identify with Darrin. If he was a Ranger as the insignia on his belongings would indicate, this man has been through hell on earth and my heart is breaking for him. He’s had to do things in the service of his country no person should and seen things we would have as nightmares. His mind was broken in an unexplainable way and then he was manipulated so badly he truly believed everything he was being told. He said during the trial he wasn’t justifying killing an innocent man. He was regretful and apologized for taking Ambers Dad and knew the gravity. He wasn’t flippant about it. For the prosecution to say that Darrin even implied it was justified was so wrong. Yes he deserved punishment for killing Jamie and admitted as much. He agreed it wasn’t justifiable. He was so twisted up in thinking all those horrible things she was telling him with that Combat PTSD and TBI? He should’ve gotten second degree manslaughter. He’s been in prison in his own mind for years and now he gets to sit in jail with nothing but his thoughts. It’s gonna kill him. Jennifer is probably the most evil woman I’ve ever heard of. To weave such a tapestry just to manipulate him into believing all those lies to the point he was willing to drive 700 miles to stop her abuse is incomprehensible to me. How? How do you even begin to do that to so many innocent people? I mean the mental fortitude to pull all those strings at the same time while maintaining a normal life with Jamie is just .. I’m speechless. She deserves to be put under the jail. And as for Jamie? He sounded like such a loving husband, great father, hard working to provide a wonderful life for his wife and daughter, well liked and respected by friends and colleagues. What a tragic loss of an innocent man whose absence will be felt by his family, friends and community for many years to come. To know that he stood by Jennifer and worked things out despite knowing she was having an emotional affair shows how much he truly loved her and to know he died hurting from the betrayal of his wife and her lies leaves my soul saddened. Rest in Peace Jamie, you’ll never see her in Heaven so rest easy. ❤
Ugh I’m just sick by this one. I gotta hug my kid and go walk my dog to clear my head. 😕
Excellent job ladies. And as always, so well researched and presented so respectfully and compassionately… that’s why I wait for my notification every Saturday. ❤ Thank you.
Thank you so much!🖤
I agree with you 1000% . I feel awful for Darrin. What he did wasn't right but I truly believe he thought he was protecting her. She should have gotten life and he should've gotten less time than he got. I hope he is OK.
❤❤❤ 😢😢😢
@@nyxspiritsong5557 If he didn't know right from wrong, he was/is a total danger to society and is where he needs to be for the rest of his life. He was wanting nothing less than for her to be his woman and would have done anything for that, obviously. Could you even imagine reading a comment as callous as yours -- that you hope he is okay, after gunning down an innocent man, good husband, wonderful father, hard worker -- if you were one of his family members?? Get it together, please! Also don't know what you're referring to that "she should have gotten life"... cuz she in fact did.
That was my thought, punishment yes, 2nd degree murder, yes, but he ended up getting life because of his age and the sentence. Only in Texas. When I was a nursing student, I worked in the VA in-patient psych ward during Desert Storm, and I will never forget the stories the veterans shared that completely broke so many of them. We send them to war completely unprepared and then don't take care of them when they come back and have trouble functioning.
Shocking case.. if I was amber I would honestly not talk to her mum .. what she did was pure evil
So bizarre seeing people talk to each other 5 metres apart. Can't believe we lived through that circus.
A well made video thank you. This one is truly dark. I have experienced similar lies and manipulations at the hands of my ex wife post separation as she tries to take my children from me, I am sure if she could find a leaver, any leaver, she would employ it to eliminate me in any way that would be possible. I feel sorry for the daddy daughter relationship that was shattered in this story.
PTSD is crazy, war is a waste as is joining the army, I'm amazed people still serve to be honest. RIP Jamie
You sound super dumb.
I somewhat agree but only because vets are largely NOT taken care of afterwards by the gov't. My Canadian gov't is the same.
It's a horrible illness I have cptsd tho not via being in the army ,I wouldn't wish it on anyone. My friend did 5 tours of Afghanistan and suffered badly, thankfully he got help via the police ,who signposted him to saafa in the UK. He is now a well known in liverpool via his art work loveart uk and helps others ,he speaks out about on his experiences via radio ,TV and and articles .from sarah liverpool uk .
Enjoy the freedom made possible by others who made the ultimate sacrifice. And yes, that includes the freedom to be an ungrateful selfish pr*ck.
PTSD was nothing to do with it.
The negative effects of her eating too many pork roasts are clearly obvious.
Always be suspicious of a woman that’s been married multiple times, chances are she’s HIGHLY UNSTABLE!!
So very sad. I wish I’d met a man so committed as he was.
