NEVER TELL your husband you're planning a divorce if he's abusive. Get the apartment or a place to stay. Get your finances in order. Get everything in order and an order of protection and leave with the kids when he's working.
This ❤❤❤❤
I agree with all of the above. Except for leaving while the partner is at work . I think this can create sudden rage.
If possible, grab a bunch of friends. Lots. Leave with them, but telling him. You don't need to say where. But leave on front of them. With lots of support. Or have police there. Explain the situation and say you need an escort of protection. They will come and assist you out. If you forget things and need to go back home, bring by police also .
Just s thought
@larsvonrinpoche1229 Nope, trust, leave when he is not home or with a police escort. But it's best not to involve police if you can avoid it, especially if you have children. Leave when he's not at home and not expected to be home. That's when it's safe.
@@jamielynngavin4052even if she did all that,a crazy person would do all it takes to make their evil plan happen.
There was a Lebanese singer who was living in a whole different country and still got killed by his ex who paid millions to the one who committed the crime.
I agree, especially a narcissist, just leave but it’s very hard when you beaten down like that, even most intelligent woman. So sad.
She was waaaaay out of his league and I think he knew it. That’s why he kept her down and degraded and belittled her so she didn’t realise she could do so much better for herself in a partner. Disgusting animal.
43:38 It’s an obsession for a narcissist to put you down but it’s only to disguise their inferiority complex.
Agreed
~ Yep, another cowardly, insecure bully. Not an animal tho, more like a *MONSTER.*
@@bethoc3091 yet, it was she who continually went back to him?
What a sad pitiful little man. Hard to a reason imagine a reason why. Perhaps he had shortcomings he just couldn't deal with.
how brave of Jasmin to speak up in everway. I hope life treats all the kids well & all the loved ones of Alana. May this monster rot.
I want to say “poor girl”, but I have a feeling that she is going to grow up to become a strong and amazing woman! All of the children! It’s just so senseless. I hope their loved ones can heal and thrive after this.
@@Valeria-mq3qn yes she said in an interview, she has no desire whatsoever to talk to her father, she has now realised that not every family is full of abuse, having only experienced this in her own. She said her ambition is to become a prosecutor! good for her!
@@kirstymclaren3869I love this happy footnote to Elana’s tragic story. Thanks for sharing.
A friend of mine lived under similar rules by a man named Mohammed as well. He seemed nice, but convinced her to move 1/2 way across the country & once she was separated from her family & friends - the extreme physical abuse started. Same expectations of answering the door & controlling her every move. It took her 10 years to get away & another 3 after he followed her home. He stalked her for 3 years before finally moving to another state after facing prison for harassment. He was convinced he was in the right - HIS PARENTS SUPPORTED HIS ABUSE. It went so deep culturally. Thankfully they didn't have children.
I'm sorry that happened. The name doesn't matter. Abusive men, regardless of name or religion, follow the same MO: isolate, control, bully, belittle, traumatize, confuse and abuse
Unfortunately, it is accepted in the Quran that a husband can beat his wife.
@@hannabanana592 Yes but, unfortunately some cultural beliefs increase the chances of that kind of relationship simply because it is in the belief system that men rule over women. Call me what you want but, I would never date a guy called Mohammed or anyone associated with certain religions including white ones such as the LDS church. Any culture or belief system that encourages this idea is rife with abuse against females. Yes, you can cop it outside those faiths also however why increase your chances.
Gross
@@hannabanana592 that's true. Some grow up around it & become more likely to continue what they learned from family & environment.
How dare the media focus on what community lost rather than the life that was lost!! I’m livid for her. The Media is disgusting, why would you want a disgusting person to work on you anyway? I am dumbfounded on that entire media parade.
Exactly!! The fact that they don’t even address how evil his action and just complained is so disgusting.
Maybe they should show his patients and media pictures of what he did to his wife and then still see if they think he is so wonderful
I am as well.They are suppose to report news not pick sides and manipulate. Twisting stories and reporting news are sadly 2 very different things.
@@marysfacebook exactly totally agree His
Patients had no idea what a real shit he really was
They complain that he's not there to treat them! But what about the 3 children that no longer have a mother to love and care for them!! What about THEM - did you even think about them?? Or did you just selfishly think of yourself?? You're more worried about this monster that killed his wife! Yeah, that's classy!
Elana's children need to be protected from her murderer! He snapped & killed her; he could do the same to her children, if ever released. He needs to remain in prison, to protect their lives.
@@brandyjean7015 The Canadian system simply put money talks.
@@luminarygoddess8642 I lived in LA when OJ bought his way to freedom.
@@brandyjean7015oh well... The prosecutors sucked and his defense team did their job. This Mohammed guy won't ever be released.
@@brandyjean7015that happens all the time now if you have money and it's sad. We're not safe anymore
And only the cruelest people could make babies and marry people and have absolutely no feelings toward them .
The way her daughter just wanted to talk about how amazing her mom was and not about what her father did 😢
Most kids pick a parent and won't say anything bad about that parent. We know she wasn't perfect.
That's not to say he wasn't a monster.
I know women who beat their kids and yet their kids act like she's an angel that has never done anything wrong. It is quite annoying.
@@johnclaybaugh9536that’s called an abusive relationship. Abusive relationships come in all forms
@johnclaybaugh9536 Well, it a very conflicting position to be. But Alana jeez. Mohammed showed who he was from the beginning but Alana chose to bury her head in the sand.
@@johnclaybaugh9536 Are you serious? Blame the victim! Why the hell would you question the daughters motives? Of course his daughter would take the view she has, her mother seems to have been the only parent she knew who actually cared about her. Of course she would take her mother's side, it would be pretty damned weird if she didn't! If she did take her father's side, you would be very concerned she had inherited his narcissism. Which clearly she hasn't. I wish her every success with becoming a prosecutor, and if her parents (both) high achiever genes have been passed on to her, I hope she follows her passion. Her mother clearly did good work championing the plight of vulnerable members of the community, not like the husband, whose motivation in life clearly was his massive ugly ego.
@kirstymclaren3869 u never once blamed the vitom. I have no idea where that came from.
All I know is that no one is perfect. And many times, judgment is clouded. But you probably think a man who wakes up blind is still supposed to not miss a child support payment. Meanwhile, if mom breaks her leg, you're fine with her nit going to work.
This was so triggering. I managed to leave an abusive narcissist. I was so mind f’d. It’s insane the things you just accept. It’s like being in an alternate reality
Amen sister. Absolutely same here. I look back at that time and wonder WTF was I thinking?
My father was the kindest, smartest, most conscientious man, I actually don't have the kind of complex feelings about him that I have about every other single person I have ever had strong feelings for, because he has just literally never been abusive, petty, disgraceful.... he truly is just more than anyone would ever expect a mere human to be, he is like a deity, I have nothing but pure love for him, because he's always just been good.
My mother... who I live more than anything, but who IS a mere mortal, who makes mistakes, is subject to selfishness and badness and all that stuff that can't touch my father.... she left my dad for an abusive narcissist. A man who hated us kids, very obviously, and went out of his way to harm us and our lives in any way he could, all the time.
The fact that she can and does love someone who goes out of his way to harm the lives of her kids.... I wish I could just turn off the love I have for her, because she doesn't deserve it. We went from being taken care of by her, to having her being in our lives just harming us, doing nothing but harm to us, from middle school or so on.
It kills me that she isn't better than this. It just, if she were only a more decent person, her own life would be, and have been, so much better, for her and everyone her life touches.
I don't get how anyone can ever be so lost, but we all have to be better than that, don't bind yourself to an abuser, it makes you as worthless and dangerous as them.... it IS better to have nothing and nobody than to have that, no question..... and you should be MORTIFIED to subject your loved ones to a bad and evil person.... be more than this
Me too, I'm just glad I finally fought for my own happiness! ❤
Almost 2 years since I left and I completely agree. So happy now!
Once I FINALLY left I told myself I’d sleep behind a dumpster before I ever went back.
I was dating a malignant narcissist in high school I found out he was messaging his ex and other girls in school through a secret insta account, I tried to dump him after school and he flew into a rage and threw my expensive text books into a creek and ripped my headphones off of me. He later ended up cheating on me with some girl from his CHURCH at a retreat and I only found out because she eventually told me. I was completely shattered and only then did he say "I dont want to be with you anymore". Parents please protect your teens, teenagers can also be deceiving evil narcissists.
My biggest fear for my little girl is that she dates a monster, I hope you have healed and found real
Love you deserve 💕
You, know, after listening to this story it feels like you almost narrowly escaped. .. Hugs and God Bless.
Her daughter is so articulate and her mom is an angel.
No one is an angel.
This guy was not only unattractive physically, but he was an abusive and manipulative narcissist. What Elana saw in him is unclear but it was most likely something emotionally connected to her childhood insecurities. It sounds like she was trauma-bonded to a psychopath and once children were involved, it made the relationship so much more complex. She had so much to offer but didn’t value herself. She made herself a victim and protected her manipulative abuser. Poor Elana. She should have heeded the signs on that very first date and walked away. So sad she endured such misery and heartache. Her poor parents and children.
He really is a 1...and that's being generous. 😅
She obviousily didn't have childhood trauma #1 & #2, knowing from experience, most guys who are unattractive are like this guy.
@@karentucker2161 - I said emotional insecurities from childhood, not childhood trauma. The video pointed out early on that she had a belief system tied to occupation, income and status. I think a lot of those issues fed into her desire to be with this hideous human being. Just because people are successful or hold important jobs, doesn’t mean they have emotional intelligence or awareness. I don’t know what else motivated this poor woman, but that jumped out from the start.
She saw potential in him. He was awkward, shy and often overlooked socially, and she believed that she could change him and they would be one of these power couples. He had the drive that she had and his definition of success also coincided with hers. And she saw what they COULD be - and she fell in love with that. That is why she stayed the first time she found out he was cheating on her. But he ended up dulling her dreams and putting so much pressure on her shoulders that she had to settle for the alternative reality.
@trialgoddess and he had a girlfriend on the side 🤯
That man did not have the looks to have all that audacity… such a sad story.
IKR?! Mohammad was not even worth the gum at the bottom of her shoe. HE was lucky to have HER not the other way around. What a POS! 🙄🤯🤬
Audacity isn’t related to looks. I dated an engineer who acted like God’s gift. He was cute, but not godly.
So, by extension, if he were better looking his audacity would be justified? Thats how bad things happen right there. Shallow people accept all kinds of behavior because their partner is “so attractive”.
Very true! Sometimes it comes from pure insecurity…Like in this case. The nerve of this man!🙄🤦🏾♀️😑
@@BRBafterawordAbsolutely NOT! It’s terrible whether he looks like a Greek god or in this case…Shrek🙄. But it does make the case all the more puzzling as to what Elana saw in Mohammad to begin with. What was it that was so compelling about him? But whatever it was, the bottom line is he is an evil person who didn’t deserve the woman he was married to regardless of how he looked. She deserved much better than that useless POS. RIP Elana😔🙏🏾🕊️.
I'm not a big comment person but I gotta say you cover these stories in such a kind, respectful & caring way! Thanks for the great work you do! ❤😊
Bu😊
Only watch so I can see her,she so beautiful
Completely agree
R f
I lived 17 years in this,situation. I believed all my x husband needed was a good wife. I used to say I was a Stepford Wife. It took me a long time to get away. I'm happy to say I did it. I stayed because of my boys. When they were older, they asked me why I didn't leave sooner. Looking back, they knew what was going on. My friends would tell me to take the rose colored glasses off. The red flags were all there even before we married, and I didn't pay attention. Ladies always pay attention if it's bad before you married, it will be bad or worse after you marry. I'm happy to say my life has changed for the better. I'm happily married for 20 years. I help women of domestic violence. Just want to say what a great job you're doing. Thank you
I understand the disappointment of EDS patients who are left without a surgeon who treats their disability. But how horrible of them to not recognize the severity of his crimes
I left my husband while he was working, and when he woild call, I acted like everything was fine. It was one of the scariest things in my life. While I had people loading up all of my things, I went to the court house and got an order of protection granted and got the divorce papers to fill out at my parents' house.
My god!! This is how you do it!!! Ladies please take note! I’m proud of you for leaving that POS!
It was one of the most nerve wracking experiences of my life to be honest. It took everything in me to act like everything was normal
@@gabryellerodriguez7148 I can’t imagine! I’m sorry you had to go through hell. Hope you are living happy and healthy!
15 minutes in, there are too many red flags to count.
Yes 11 minutes in
Culture #1 when will women get this. SMDH
Exactly.
I agree, when you come from two such vastly different cultures/religions things are bound to be complicated.
And for that reason I have zero empathy for
If you’re not considered an equal partner, then you’re not going to be important enough, ever. You need to be important to your partner. Don’t compromise your worth, ever.
Good point ☝️☝️
Thank you so true!❤
Thank you Annie. As a retired RN, I saw so many people worship doctors. We are all imperfect humans no matter our place in life. My heart breaks for Alana, her children, and her parents, as well as her patients. 💗
THAT is beyond "imperfect". He managed to manipulate his colleagues and patients into believing that he's this wonderful person but treated his family so bad - mistreating his wife and neglecting his kids. The fact that his daughter does not even want to talk to him or see him ever again, says a lot about the kind of dad he was.
@@Shazzie_Rose I totally agree 💯
Screw the “loss” of him in medical community and respectfully screw the patients whom were upset about Mohammad being arrested. Elana was a doctor too, and she was a mother. She was more of value to her community then that monster. That news coverage is so upsetting.
i agree! but i just want to point out that doctors who specialize in EDS are hard to find because when u talk about what u have they look at you like ur insane. i can kinda understand why they'd feel upset because he was probably the only doctor they were seeing and thought oh hes such a good doctor and that he can truly help them. she didnt deserve to die because she contributed to the community and her patients as well!
Seriously! They are missing the point, so ridiculous!
Great Surgeon, awful husband, crappy father, and dumb criminal.
I couldn’t imagine calling my parents during a screaming fight, then having the line disconnect and my family just shrugging it off. On top of that, not call me or demand to know I was okay.
Forreal wtf was with that
Right? Or imagine BEING the parent and getting that call and not immediately going to your daughter and ready to deal with him? Uh-uh.
@@CatherineGoodrich I think they lived far away but yes, I'd make the trip
I kinda get how you could. My cousin might be in N abusive relationship but we don't know. She was a normal person until she started seeing this man (her husband now) then turned real nasty. She's so horrific if you try to pry into the injuries or weird calls we keep getting so we just ride it out. I used to worry about her but now I'm ready for the worst; there's only so much pleading you can do till you realize you can't make someone live.
@@availanilaShe has to be ready to accept any help. Maybe you can let her know that you're still there if she ever needs to talk.
There's nothing you can do. 😢
Those poor babies have been through so much - they look just like their beautiful momma. I pray that the children continue to be strong and that they are able to find peace. Thank God that the grandparents stepped up and provided a loving home for them!
interesting how the eldest child has stated she wants to be a prosecutor when she grows up! I wish her all success, and hope her over-achiever parental genes help her to realise her chosen path.
He was so bitterly jealous of her! This case was so heartbreaking 😢
Yes. He wants her not as his wife but he wants to be her. Her grit, her amazing personality and her competence.
She definitely had a light that he did not. And he saw that
Can we just take a moment and acknowledge how brave, mature, well spoken Jasmine is. I am in absolute awe
I’m stoked because Stephanie and Derrick (Crime Weekly) have agreed to cover my cousin Tiffany Booths Murder case. She was murdered during lockdown in September 2020 and her killer is still out there!!! I cannot believe they said YES!!!
Cool. Do you know when they are going to feature it?
Wow, I just read the People magazine article about your cousin, etc. Is Eduardo still missing? Could he have left the country and hiding with family in Central/South America somewhere?
I hope she gets the justice she deserves 🙏
Who is Stephanie and Derrick? I'm glad the case got picked up
@@mindymartinez4657 crime weekly podcast. Derrick is a retired detective. Stephanie Harlowe has a true crime UA-cam channel
@@deniece0821 he is still on the run. We are trying to get her case out there as much as possible.
My family doctor was friends with her, and I can tell you that this changed her as a person. I’ll never forget that first conversation with her (we live in a small town) about this, and it absolutely broke her.
Thank you for this very important story. I'm a strong woman, and was trapped in the same psychological spiral for 5 years. Even when he broke my nose, I found myself saying In slipped on the snow. I thankfully eventually left, but the lesson I learned is to never judge why people don't leave. I was that woman, and it was very sobering to realise it! Domestic abuse is so insiduous, and we make so many excuses for ourselves and the other person. This way too common with men being abused too, like the OF model who abused and then finally killed her boyfriend. So thank you for being the voice for victims, and keeping the awareness out there.
I will always judge a woman that don't leave!!
@@evalunlocaI encourage you to research the psychology of abuse. You sound like you are not well-informed, and google is free, so this is an easy fix. It’s very easy to be judgey if you’re lucky enough not to be able to relate. Samesies, except I got curious when I started to realize that it can happen to really strong, smart women, bc these abusive crapweasels don’t play fair, and often use the same types of mind control techniques used by many international multi-million dollar cults.
Not saying this to be snarky- there’s nothing wrong with not being knowledgeable, but there’s a lot wrong w/ not bothering to learn more, once someone points out the opportunity. Happy learning!
So true. People are quick to judge before they’ve been in that situation. Thank you for speaking out for male victims as well, they face even more stigma and lack of empathy
@@evalunlocaodd take but okay lmao
@@evalunlocareap what you sow
Why isn’t he going to prison for the rest of his life without parole?!
Because Canada.
Canada’s sentences are a joke
welcome to canada lol
A joke, that isn't funny😢@@rayanem88
No true Justice in Canada. They are PRO CRIMINALS a Pro CRIME. They encourage CRIMINAL Activity. Feel so sorry for the de ent hard working citizens of Canada. America has beco.e vey Pro CRIME. Our legislature have destroyed our Judicial System with Democratic/Marxists encourages crime and Fraud.
Was one of my neurologists that oversaw my surgery that was botched in Toronto Ontario and unfortunately here when a doctor makes a mistake they have complete protection from being sued for medical malpractice and left me permanently disabled and altered for life with zero monetary compensation. Walked in for a corrective surgery rolled into rehabilitation centre to learn how to live my new life as a disabled person.
Sorry to hear that that's exactly why ppl with back issues won't get surgery for fear what happened to you won't happen to them❤🙏
I am so sorry to hear this, I do pray you know the Lord and trust Him to heal you.
Oh how horrible 😮
❤🙏🏻
Oh my God! So very sorry you are forced to deal with that. It’s terrible
When a man is this disrespectful from the start, RUN!!!
58:03 how the grandmother says to Jasmine “take time” is lowkey so sweet. I really believe they’ll be incredible to those kids.
I love how you always say “if you’re cleaning” because I love listening to your channel while cleaning my home during the day. If I get mad or upset about the storyline, I scrub my bathtub that much harder. 😂
Ironing for me 😂😂
Same 😅
I wash dishes while I’m listening 😊😂
😂😂😂😂
Talking about how he was so upset at her weight after giving birth, isn't mans a doctor? Bro you should know how it works be for real, get over yourself
you would think he would look at himself ids he that good
Take a look at big boys later pics btw.
People are weird. Most don't make great choices.
He was a surgeon, they often times suffer from narcissism. Very self centered, controlling. Not surprising really...
I got pregnant w my 3rd kid when my 2nd was 11 months old. I was pretty heavy after her birth. A few weeks later good ol hubby told me he didn't find me attractive after weight gain. Let me say...he was 30 lbs overweight himself.
I answered, yeah I'm heavy but you're shallow and I can lose weight and you'll still be shallow 😅.
Yes he's my ex.
I feel like this is why its so important for parents to make sure that their children KNOW their worth. That we instill love in them and make sure they know what to take and what not to take. You can tell Elana didnt value herself and thought he was the best she could do and didnt walk away the several times she clearly should've
So true!
Neurosurgeon and Muslim here…I chose not to get married because of the immense pressures of the job and ended an engagement with someone because our families did not mesh. I’m glad I did and truly believe there are certain people that are not meant to be married/have a family. Mohammed should have just accepted the breakup the first time around and done some deep work on himself to even see if he’s compatible in any relationship.
Marrying a Muslim would be hard work if you are not Muslim… it would be a red flag for me…
but if you are Muslim you have to marry someone. but the fect is that people just thought that all Muslim men are abusive, that's not true. like any other person Muslim can be a good or bad by his or her own choices not because They're Muslim. we Are strictly obligates to respect our spouses. and if you have problem Just leave like my two ants and one uncle are divorcee and one of them got married again and Allhamdo lillahi He is very happy . And one Aunt is planning to marry again 😊
@@hadiaansar there’s no requirement in Islam to get married. Bukhari (the narrator of many Hadith) never got married.
I've never heard of any such thing like being required to marry in islam
@cheeling794 he's man not a woman
Jasmine and her grandma had me bawling at the end. They were so strong and they miss Elana so much. I am glad she has had help to process and adjust.
Good morning 10 to lifers!! If your partner acts as though they don't like you\can't be bothered, you deserve better
This is pretty common in certain religions/belief systems. Don’t be naive to think those who grow up one way will change automatically with marriage or immigrating to another place.
Exactly my thoughts, well said.
Thank you!! Agree 💯%!
It’s more cultural. Stop with the stereotyping, we know what you’re implying.
@@desig23 stop telling me what I am implying. I know what I grew up with and I am not scared to tell truths and hurting feelings. Call it what you want, Cultural matters as well and it doesn’t always blend well. Did you think that was a win? What was your indication by saying your words with no meaning?
@@desig23 dude. There's literally pamphlets and ads directed to Muslim women, letting them.know- abuse is illegal in NA. Lol
the crime weekly crossover made my heart so happy omg
Same here! Ibwas like yay! Two of mh favorite youtube channels collabing somehow!
I love how my favorite UA-cam content providers are supporting each other
It’s interesting what the media tries to cover up these days. “This amazing surgeon was arrested for murder! How could this happen to such a perfect person like him??”
Because the western media wants to force anyone nonwhite on Americans-they can do anything to Americans and the media will cover it up. Look how many Americans have been slaughtered by illegal aluens and they don’t run the stories but if one cop has a run in with a poc no matter what circumstances are the cop is vilified-they’re brainwashing the public to let ourselves by snuffed out by outsiders and they call us racists for wanting to fight back and protect our freedom and country
omggggg I LOVE how you and Crime weekly are doing ads for eachother!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the support!!
you’re literally so motivating. This girl has GOALS. The pace you’re pumping out content is insane!
Cringe much?
@@oogabooga1971jealous? Why would you get mad at her giving props to someone who she enjoys watching? Are you okay??
@@oogabooga1971 Never cringe to aspire for someones work ethic 🥰 Go heal
15:26 poor thing. Heaven was screaming at her with every red flag in the world, and she ignored it all. So sad.
She may not have ignored it; she may just have felt conflicted but unfortunately mentally compromised by the unpredictability and harm of daily abuse in her home.
Annie, you’re a rockstar! Thank you for all your hard work posting these stories every day. You give victims a voice and keep us informed. Take care and keep up the great work!
Annie, I felt compelled to stop & tell you how special you are & what an amazing job you're doing. You are truly giving these victims a voice. You're helping their families & friends. I think you are not only passionate but also have found your calling. All of your stories are done with such great respect & truly do give a voice to those who can no longer speak. I think you give them great peace. The way you presented this story touched me greatly. I wish you the best in all you do.
I think it is SO COOL that Annie, Stephanie and Derrick are sponsoring/promoting EACH OTHER. Love this true crime community❣
May grace and God guide these children through their lives going forward. Bless their hearts! May their mother rest in eternal peace ❤️🙏🏻
It warms my heart to see one of my favorite true crime UA-camrs promote another one of my favorite youtubers!! ❤ you both Annie Elise and Stephanie Harlowe ( you too Derrick Lavasser) True crime has THE best community!!
What an amazing woman Elana was, she deserved so much better. My sympathy to her family & friends. May she rest in peace.
Elana raised a strong , brave , intelligent young lady. Jasmine showed such resilience for standing up for her mother during the court case. I’m so thankful he was caught, the thought of him raising the children is horrifying! Wishing them all happiness and success.
I had not heard this case. Excellent work , Annie as always ❤️ I’m glad you highlighted the way the media tried to make Muhammad look like a victim, so gross!
I never comment, but I'm so happy to see Criminal Coffee advertised on here! I saw them doing an ad for your podcast, and I just think it's so wonderful yall are supporting each other. 🤗
I had Mohammed as my doctor. I had emense pain on my neck and back. No other doctor could figure out what was going on. The last time I saw him he had his arms around my throat and was pushing on my back. He said he thinks I know what was going on with me but let him do a bit more research and would let me know next visit. I was so happy after doctors upon doctors I would finally find out. 1 day before my next appointment I get a call from the hospital and the person said "I'm sorry we have to cancel your appointment, your doctor has been arrested for murder" 😮
My heart went out to the children, the family and friends that loved her. ❤
Omg. That's insane. I can't imagine finding that out. How scary
Thank God, he was not your husband,
Well this isn’t true because the hospital would not inform the patients that the doctor was arrested or what it was for.
I'm already addicted to Criminal Coffee!! It's not only a great cause--but it's truly AMAZING coffee!! So happy to see you spotlighting it!! You and Steph & Derrick are my favorite true-crimers!!
Are Steph and Derrick The Misery Machine?
@@bethoc3091 No, they are Crime Weekly. Stephanie also has her own channel - Stephanie Harlowe.
@@bethoc3091The podcast they host together is Crime Weekly. Stephanie has her own channel Stephanie Harlowe. Derrick has his own Derrick Levasseur
No they are not.
@@bethoc3091their channel is “Crime weekly”. They are pretty awesome together!
You are a BOSS! The fact that you always have new content back to back is amazing! I love how you tell the victim's stories. Thank you, Annie.
She has a whole team working with her. You should be thanking them as well. Annie is the face, but they are the backbone.
@@honeybeesplants8943 agreed. They all deserve a huge thanks and praise
@@honeybeesplants8943 I would hope that it’s implied. And just to be clear, they’re not volunteering; they are trading their time, energy, and expertise, for money. Compliments are great, and always appreciated, but they’re not why most of us go to work. It’s a lot harder to be on camera consistently than it is to research or edit, partly bc Annie doesn’t only get more of the positive recognition; like all content creators, I’m sure she also gets the lion’s share of the negative feedback directed at her. Anyway, I think you could have made your reasonable point, with a much more reasonable amount of empathy.
I am horrified at this entire story and although Alana is no longer with us, I couldn't be happier that the monster she married was completely exposed.
I live in Canada , and I’ve never heard of this story so sad and thank you for sharing . So sad for those kids to grow up without their mom and have to live with the fact their own father killed her. I hope they over come all their challenges and grow up to be successful like their mom
Annie I love that you are showing support for Stephanie by promoting her coffee, my respect for you has gone up 10 fold. ❤❤❤
Great story, This is the first time I've actually heard about this tragedy, so thank you for bringing it forward.
My dad's an MD. And a doctor hurting their HANDS is a HUGE DEAL. They use their hands for their job and it's a a very big deal to have a doctor have a surgery on their hand.
I don’t think she was doing any surgeries, but thought so nonetheless. Such an important thing regardless.
@@BrookeKatherine. probably true. But this man was an extreme narcissist who do a lot of projecting. he would only see his point of view, and the worst that could happen to him is for his hands to be damaged. so he damaged her hands. he never thought about her as a separate person in her own right.
I have a friend who is with a guy who reminds me so much of Muhammed. They're still in the very beginning of the relationship and the guy is throwing up so many red flags of emotional and mental abuse. I've tried to say something multiple times, but she doesn't see it. Seeing the trajectory of this case is terrifying. I feel so much for Elana and her entire family. It's hard to know how to intervene.
Share this episode with her. Maybe it will help.
@@callysto11 Thank you. I considered that, but I've talked to her so many times about this that I think any further discussion right now could push her away and make her distrust me. She's not ready to hear this right now. I'll keep this in mind for the future. Hopefully she'll realize soon and I won't need to. I really appreciate your concern and input.
@@Rae777sometimes best you can do is be sure she knows you don’t judge her, and that you will be so happy to welcome her when she does “have time to hang out” again, and that you’re rooting for her.
I have had several good friends who’ve been in abusive relationships, and I’ve always been first on the chopping block, of friends they are forbidden from associating w/. I guess I give Take No Shit vibes.
But I’ve always done what I described above, and it does work pretty well to keep the door open, bc many people don’t speak up or reach out, bc they can’t bear the thought of being judged, even more than they already have been. So the most important thing, IMO, is to make sure they know how you feel, and that you will welcome them unconditionally whenever they are ready
@@Rae777 I hope they ask them selves is this what they want every day for themselves and for a family if they chose to bring kids into the world.
I love that you are supporting Stephanie and Crime Coffee! It’s so heartwarming to see creators support each other…class act!!!xoxoxo
Nice work, Annie. It warms my heart to see you, Stephanie, and Derrick supporting each other. (Although, he kept referring to your show as "Seriously.")😮
Crazy he seemed not to care about his family or patients if he could hurt his wife with such force and even let the kid see it. A tragic tale. Thanks for sharing.
I remember hearing about this case and it broke my heart. Thank you for treating it with such respect and compassion
Best story in a while. I love that you are getting back to the grassroots of this channel. Awareness: being informed so WE can help others(our family,friends,coworkers, chuch members,a neighbor, the list goes on and on)! Take action to help when you see or hear anything!!! Don't tell yourself I dont want to get involved, abuse is illegal for a reason.
Years ago after I had both my children my (now ex-husband) used to tell me I needed to lose weight, I only weighed 130 pounds at that time. He always made me feel bad about myself and telling me what I couldn't wear. Then a while after that I found out why he was treating me that way, he was cheating on me with my brother's ex-wife and she was really skinny, she only weighed like 100 pounds. After we got divorced I found out that he had cheated on me for 6 of the 8 years we had been together. Proving that he was a piece of 💩 , 3 of the women he had cheated on me with were his 3 brothers wives.
Wth😮
I'm glad you and your children are safe. 🧸♥️
Thank you for sharing Elena’s story Annie. Your hard work is appreciated ❤ This case leaves me so heartbroken for Elena, but also angry. I don’t understand why NO ONE called the police, at least for a wellness check. The neighbor heard the screaming and fighting, yet did nothing. Her colleagues and friends knew, she told them details of the abuse and they saw the bruises. Still, nothing. Elena would have been alive today, free of that monster and able to raise her children with peace.
I would have moved out. He’s shown his true colors over and over
Me too. No respect no relationship.
I always said the same thing. Until I found myself in an abusive relationship about 3 years in. It is a very complicated, sad, and bad position to be in. Like everything else in life ; we don't really know what we would do in a situation - until that situation is ours.
@@sammirolo That must've been horrible for you and very hard to get out of. In this lady's case he was awful from the outset - dismissive, uncaring, having an affair etc. There were red flags from the beginning. It's sad she didn't realise her self worth before he had the chance to control her.
@@Clare_no_dramatic_nonsense_pls I mean....that is a good point. Ngl.
@@Clare_no_dramatic_nonsense_plsthis I have been saying this exact thing up and down this thread he was an awful person from the very beginning I mean how delusional can you possibly be 😢
Domestic violence is so sad and hard to even comprehend. How can partners stay in abusive relationships for years, especially when children are involved, and when there are options financially.
My step dad used to beat on my mom. When I was about 5, she had enough. She pulled a shotgun out, cocked it, told him to gtfo & that she wouldn't ask for child support (they had my lil bro & sis together) if he signed the papers & never came around again. It was hard for a couple of years (white privilege, eh), but we made it through until she met my amaaaaaazing step dad. It's hard, & sometimes dangerous, but moms (& sometimes dads) owe it to their children 😞
It's called trauma bonds. I was with my ex for over 14 years. He systematically broke me down & was able to chip away at every aspect of my being until at the end he could've had me questioning if the sky was pink. They destroy your sense of self worth, take away your support systems, freedom to practice religion, question every dime you spend, every phone call you make is questioned & an argument until you just stop taking them. I was so brainwashed it took years after being out of the relationship to see just how twisted it really was & for the fog to lift. I've been out for almost 6 years now & I'm still having daily "aha" moments of how he messed with my head & distorted my reality. I am an educated woman & come from money. That didn't matter. In fact that helped him in his game to control me because he used those things against me, often throwing them in my face. Narcissists are master manipulators & know EXACTLY what to say to hook you because at the beginning of the relationship during the love bombing stage they've done their intell & gotten all their ammo so they know exactly what they need to say to you to cut the deepest because you felt comfortable with them & showed them your whole hand.
@@AngelMaryI’m so glad you’re safe now! There’s a content creator I really love, named Shelise Anne Sola, whose channel is Cults To Consciousness. She has incredible guests on her channel, who have left high control groups and religious cults, and is so compassionate and brilliant that I learn really useful stuff every single time. She talks about deconstruction as a process that does take time, and she has lots of practical, insightful info. I think a lot of the same mind-control techniques happen on a more inter-personal scale, in many dating or marriage relationships which are abusive/controlling. Anyway, glad you’re here.
Be thankful you don't understand, and be kind to those who stay. They have their reasons, as irrational as they may be.
I was in a DV relationship for 11 years. I stayed because 1.) My ex convinced me that I was worthless and no one else would want me. He was my first real relationship. I struggle with social anxiety and major depressive disorder so it was not hard for him to manipulate me. 2.) I was unable to financially support myself at the time. 3.) When I called my parents for help, they made me feel like the abuse was my fault. I didn't feel like I had anyone else I could turn because if my parents thought it was my fault, I was sure everyone else would, too. 4.) He would love bomb me. He would buy me gifts, tell me how beautiful I was and swear he would never do it again. I was so beat down mentally and emotionally that I believed him every time. If you haven't been in that situation yourself, I can understand why it is hard to believe someone would stay. Hopefully you will never find out first hand.
What a heartbreaking story. May Elana rest in peace and her family find the peace they need to move forward in life and be happy.
May Elana rest in peace. Sending all my positive vibes and prayers to Jasmine, her siblings, as well as Elana’s Mother.xo
Annie! Hardest working true crime teller in the business ❤
I found myself telling the team i worked with what they meeded to do if I wasn't in the next day as things were so bad at home that i really feared i would be murdered by my husband. One of the girls took me to oneside and made melisten to what I was saying. Thats when it made sense what i needed to do. I spoke to a solicitor, we got to court the next day. He had to move in with his parents. I stayed that night with a friend and my son stayed with a different person. (If he found me he wouldn't find my son). He had the time to get what he needed without there being any chance of things escalating. That was more than 30 years ago. I have never regretted what action I took not once. I just needed that one friend to make me listen to myself and they supported me thru that action. It is hard, more than hard but please if you are reading this and in an abusive relationship please promise me you will make steps to be safe. Please. ♥️
The way you deliver a story is impeccable. You use a lot of caring and tact. I enjoy your style even though the stories are often sad and horrible.
Thank you for focusing on this case-I’m from Ontario, close to Toronto where this terrible crime occurred and my heart goes out to the children and grandparents who are trying to pick up the pieces for their beloved daughter. ❤
i can’t believe how emotional i’m getting over thinking about how she didn’t see herself like everyone else could … it’s so excruciating to think this is honestly the case for soooo many amazing hot smart cool girls i know that let some loser destroy them.
You honestly have the BEST research and story-telling abilities. I try to find other content creators who are similar but not many even come close to matching your impeccable standard! You’re honestly the best there is in the TC and overall UA-cam community!
Don’t ever leave us!!!
Lots of love from Devon, UK 🇬🇧
She is really good but there are many others have you tried kimberleigha , Emma Kenny, that chapter , Stephanie Harlow , Eleanor Neale
Try Crime Weekly with Stephanie Harlowe and Derrick Levasseur. They are amazing!
I endorse That Chapter and Coffee House Crime. Both are exceptional. Also, Just Thought Lounge, is very good!!
Thanks for giving this story to light. Stories like these are so important to bring to the public.
LOVE the criminal coffee ad!! So proud of them!!!
Love seeing my favorite channels support each other! The true crime community is the best!
This is gonna sound judgy but I don’t care…
If you want to stay with an abuser that’s your prerogative, if you can’t find it in you to leave for whatever reason, again, your prerogative. HOWEVER, when you bring children into this world it’s no longer your life/your prerogative. You have an obligation to those kids to get them out of an abusive household, period, end of story! No child deserves to have that type of behavior modeled in front of them!
Cool, but what about when they threaten to kill your children, the second you leave? A lot of courts have mandated continued contact which can keep the person trying to leave, and their kids, extremely vulnerable. My point is that it’s not always clear what the actual safest course of action is, especially when the most physically dangerous time is shortly after a person leaves the abusive relationship. IE, more physically dangerous than when they are appeasing their abuser in order to survive, and in order to protect their children from what they see as an even greater danger.
There are many factors that can prevent this. Often times financial abuse prevents people from leaving. Abusers tend to withold & control money. It takes a person an average of 8 times to leave their abuser whether they have children or not. They threaten to come after you, your kids or your family and receive little to no protection from the law. I wish it was that easy, where people could just leave but, the psychological torture goes deep.
There are many reasons why. Financial abuse & witholding money is one of the reasons. Psychological torture goes deep. Abusers will threaten to come after you, your children & family. Unfortunately, until better protective laws are put in plscing giving victims of abuse real protection from their abusers, not much will change. On average, it takes a person 8 times to leave their abuser.
@@sarahissersohn5495she had options to keep her kids safe and she chose herself and him over them time and time again. Both statements can be true at once - some people don't have the options as much, but she did.
She also had the option not to being kids into a very obviously horrible relationship from the beginning.
Sometimes there just isn't an excuse to ruin your children. It's not fair to them, you do not matter anymore with this when you bring kids into the world. Their safety is the most important.
That’s BS, this woman saw the red flags when they were still dating, but chose to marry him anyways, she saw the glaring red flags before they had children. She still chose to stay and bring children into the world with him. a lot of women are in a hard position because they’re financially dependent on the man. This woman was a successful doctor. She could have left and hired a bad ass attorney, she was smart enough. She could’ve had cameras hidden in the car and in the house and gotten proof. No judge in the world would’ve sided with him if she had shown proof of the abuse.
I remember this case. I live about 45 min north of Toronto. Such a sad sad episode and unnecessary tragedy. Thanks Annie for your thorough coverage and bringing awareness to these kinds of unfortunate cases ❤ 🇨🇦
Howdy neighbour- I’m also familiar with this case but learned so much watching this video.
That clip of local news coverage speaking accolades about this m*rderer is anger-inducing to say the least. Another Brock Turner "his life is ruined, wahh" situation. How incredibly disrespectful to his wife, who didn't deserve any of this.
Seriously! Like you want to be treated by a POS who abused and murdered his wife? It’s like what Elena went through was nothing but an inconvenience to them.
I was thinking the same thing! I literally said out loud “are you fucking kidding me right now?!” Gross. So gross. He’s a murderer.
I hate DV and hate the abusive partners because they ruin families and the kids could be adversely affected throughout their lives.
It is particularly difficult when 2 different cultures try to coexist.
Thanks, Annie Elise. I love your stories. Big hugs.
It makes me so violently angry towards the abusers.
Do you ever rest?! You bang out these episodes!! Thank you for all your hard work!! Love your channel!
Love Stephanie and Derrick!! It's awesome how yall support one another!! ♡
What an incredibly sad story. It kind of reminds me of my own, but I was able to get myself and our 3 kids out safely (thank God for my family, friends, co-workers at that time). It’s so traumatic and the fear lingers for YEARS afterwords. Even if you do get out, have an order of protection, you ALWAYS have to think about how to stay safe in EVERYTHING you do. This case was a bit triggering for me. I’m so grateful of where myself & my children are in life now. To say that I feel deeply for Alana (and Jasmine) is an understatement. I wish the very best for their kids. I’m so glad they have wonderful grandparents in Alana’s parents. Sending hugs to the kids, Alana’s parents, extended family & friends. 🫶🏻
Love to see you and Derick and Stephanie supporting eachother…you’re all my top faves!!
So happy to see my favorite true crime UA-camrs supporting each other. Shout out to Crime Weekly ❤
Wow ty so much Annie. Sad part is I live in Canada and this is the first I have heard of this case
Same here ! I grew up in Windsor and still live here and I've never heard about this at all .
He should Never Get out.
Happy 4th of July 🎉 All my besties are uploading today!
13:40 she broke up with her highschool sweetheart to end up with this guy??? 10 years with the first love and no pregnancy, few months with a cheater, and she ends up pregnant. 🙄 She worshipped his status as a doctor.
Not, she got pregnant after a year, and she was in medical School already, that How she met him.
She dont need a doctor, she was in The way becaming a doctor herself.
They boths was students.
Of course after 10 years with someone your mundo change, your not a teenager anymore and know what you want.
EDS patient here (central US): EDS isn't as rare as people think. Doctors who understand it and take it seriously are rare. Those patients just need to advocate for themselves with other doctors and they'll eventually take it seriously. I've had to diagnose myself with several things to finally get to specialists who believed me and who could correct my issues.
Same here in UK. I diagnosed myself after being told that having severe scoliosis and JHMS was 'just double bad luck'.by my 1st rheumatologist. It didn't sit right and I looked on the website he told me to, to find I had EDS.
We need good doctors for this condition, but not ones like him. And no, I don't think it's rare at all. Just mis/underdiagnosed for fibro and various other stuff.
I lucked into a PT who had 12 EDS patients on her roster after I herniated a disc in my sleep. She told me after working with me for a year that she thought I had it. 7yrs later I had input from my dentist, cardiologist, neurologist, PT, and PCP to back an order for a genetic test. It was negative so I was dx hypermobile EDS.
I too have eds and a similar story. My doc finally handed me the gauntlet to research when we couldnt find answers 10 years later eds and pretty much EVERY sister/comorbidity it can come with. Western wa here. Had to go out of state for eds diagnosis
Did the video mention eds? 8ve got like 6 minutes left and wondering if I missed it!
hEDS and retired RN. Agree completely, it's not that rare, just woefully under and mis- diagnosed. Imagine how much being known as "the best EDS provider in Canada" inflated his dark, narcissistic heart.
I gained 45 pounds while pregnant, too. I'm a tiny girl. If you are underweight, you will gain more to provide a healthy environment for the baby.
me too, even 50 lbs. 95 to 145. i needed the first 15 for myself lol
I gained 70 my first baby but then lost a lot more in the 6wks after I was too skinny for my taste, less w my other kids but it melted right off. I thought for sure my last at 41 wouldn’t but it has. Women shouldn’t worry about what you gain pregnant as long as the baby is healthy n happy 🫶🏽
@@resQfurppl Yes, exactly!
@angeez82 I totally agree with that! I breastfed, and the weight melted off of me, too, with both pregnancies. We definitely need to normalize not obsessing over weight gain during pregnancy! 🫶
@ccf8093 I'm a nurse. I know they use terms like "overdue." However, a doctor can only guess within a 4 week period. This is why you'll hear of women giving birth two weeks late or two weeks early. You likely gave birth right on schedule for you!
My name is Johanna and I see you from Bolivia I love your channel. May God bless you always and thank you for makinh me smile every day
A lot of times women in this situation feel like they can’t leave because they are financially dependent on the husband, but in this situation she was a doctor she could support her and her kids on her own. I’m finding it really hard to sympathize with a woman who continuously allowed not only herself but her children to endure this abusive man when she had the means to leave him.
They use Financial as a escuse for not leaving.
They dont wanna leave, in fact they love The Man and hate herself.
She set her UP for this life for The moment she idealize a life and could deal with failure.
@@lcct635 I couldn’t agree with you more.
@@lcct635they also use the kids as an excuse not to leave;even though they got their own finances in order.
Annie you’ve done an amazing job once more covering this case in such a nice and respectful. ❤
I figured she thought it was normal for her parents to fight. I went through the same issues as a child. Hearing my stepdad hit my mom and physically fight with her while trying to sleep I would fall asleep with a pillow over my head. It was always scary but I thought every kid dealt with that. I feel that pain hopefully she is able to work through her trauma and make a change in this world it sounds like she's gonna.
I also covered my head with my pillow.
Im obsessed that you're sponsored by Steph and Derrick!! I found you by seeing a video of yours and the comments were pitting you and she against each other because there's nothing toxic women live more than pitting two women that are great at something against one another. I defended her and I fell in love with your style that day. I adore both of you and im so glad you've continued to thrive 🥰👌🏽
I can’t believe you’re covering this one! I worked at this hospital downtown Toronto, and knew this case and the surgeon very well. He was totally known for his positive bedside manner… but it was creepy… definitely sociopathic. I heard through the rumour-mill that the suitcase her body was found in actually belonged to her mother. There was also a significant issue of dealing with the complaints from patients that he had operated on after the murder. Such a tragic case… and a loss of brilliant medical talent and skill (the victim - let’s not forget she was equally as talented and brilliant as the surgeon, but her career was clearly stifled by him). Thank you for covering this case.
I live in Toronto and I remember when this happened. What a sad story, rest in peace Elana, praying for your family to heal.
