The fact that his daughter told on him is so impressive and it must have been so hard for her. She is so strong I can only imagine how traumatic that was for her. She did the right thing for molly and her family and for that she deserves so much praise 👏
Molly was my cousin. Our family was just destroyed because of his choice to murder. My mom cared for Sandi at the end of her life… it was heartbreaking to have to tell her multiple times a day about Molly’s murder. Tim literally died of a broken heart. It devastated our family.
@@jodilindberg I am so, so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine having to go through such a thing. Sending prayers and my heart out to you and your family
I can’t imagine sleeping next to someone for 23 years and one day finding out they’re not only a cheater but a murderer too. I can’t imagine how disorienting that would be.
I was thinking the same thing, finding 7 years worth of evidence of his double life… taking her on the same trip he took his fiancé on. How can someone do that? How can someone actually live a double life like that? A psychopath. I hope he never gets out. Melanie and Molly deserved better. Their kids deserved better. He deserves to rot.
Molly was my little brother's counselor while he was incarcerated. He was illiterate and she helped him so much. Its such a shame this happened to her.
@@NativeWarrior88Unless u didn’t watch the video, pretty sure she was told the man that MURDERED her wasn’t married; cheating is a shitty thing to do but it doesn’t mean she’s overall a bad person and jt doesn’t mean she deserved to die in this way
It’s very hard to stand against your parents, especially in a court of law, and you never know how they will choose to retaliate against you. She believed her father was a good and loving man but she learned he had killed someone she personally knew and liked. That’s an insanely tough situation to be put in the middle of, especially for a kid.
@@LahainaStrong444JUST telling the truth? don’t try to downplay her bravery. telling the truth is more often harder than lying to save face and protect your own mental state. imagine someone you grew up with, who took care of you, provided for you, interacted with you every day from the moment you were born, turned out to be a monster capable of such deceit and even murder. she was only a teenager when this happened, someone still dependent on her parents, yet she had the courage and the moral compass to stand against her father. that is highly commendable. the more common route we see is family members of the suspect insisting the suspect is innocent because they can’t bear to face the reality. that’s a natural human reaction. yet this young woman testified against her own father because she knew it was the right thing to do.
Yes. I love how brave and straightforward they both were. I can't fathom what Molly saw in James. Hope the daughter and Mom can move on and forget the PoS
SEE immorality is never a good thing she was going with a woman then a married man. GOD HAS RULES for a reason many of these murders are committed by immoral and lust driven people. Who jump from from bed to bed. Wake-up JESUS is coming soon
We do NOT care about the quality of sound when you’re out of breath from being a pregnant mommy!! We love you guys and are so happy that y’all are sharing your journey with us! Can’t wait to see your bundle of joy 🥰
If anyone is bothered by it they can scr3w themselves. It's not normal as a society to hate pregnant women who are responsible for creating the next generation of people who will be taking care of us when we are older.
How is there no state or nationwide database to verify someone's marital status in the US? That's crazyyy. People that live a double life are so scary to me
It's shocking, bc any country with minimal state infrastructure would have a national or at least local database and the marital status linked to the person's ID. The USA not even having databases with this at the state level that can be accessed by the public employees who emit marriage licenses is so wild.
Girl don’t you worry about us. You could take 10 years to be with your baby girl and we would still be here when you get back. Soak in these moments. Congratulations. ❤️❤️❤️
Don't even have to tell if you're that afraid of owning up to your own reprehensible actions. Just divorce, run away, commit pseudoside, invent a memory wipe mib pen, there are options!
It’s interesting how several of her family members got the creeps from this guy. I think it teaches us to listen to those who love us. Love can be blind. RIP Molly.
Yes. It almost costed me my own life 10y ago but my family made known and didn't care whether I was in love or not. You are never too old for family to get involved. Her family should have done something instead of being like ohhh welll. She's happy though
@@Lavendermoon77 As Kendall always says, watch what you say as family may be in these comments. Please don't add guilt to this already heartbreaking tragedy.
I agree. However, it bothered me that one of the signs that they listed was, "wouldn't look us in the eye." That is a significant issue that causes prejudice towards people on the autism spectrum. Some find looking people in the eye to be quite uncomfortable and it is misinterpreted as indicating untrustworthiness.
@@gaaraxnaru The reason it bothered me was that, given that Molly was on the spectrum, they would know that that is a significant problem that leads to people being unfairly stigmatized. That said, her family can say whatever they want, however they want given the hell they have been through. What a heartbreaking story.
the fact that you prerecorded videos because, even though YOU were the one that was pregnant, you STILL thought of your youtube audience and i think that’s completely selfless and just incredible. i admire you so much
Molly's son's victim impact letter ... 😢 So well written. So powerful. I feel for that kid, and that entire family as it sounds like they lost more than just Molly as a result of that day. The single action of a deplorable human being started the ripple effects of pain that are always there when someone we love dies, but for both Molly's mother and then her father to die because of their grief (according to Molly's brother) ... 😟 This is one of those rare cases in which I feel the police AND the justice system got it right. Unfortunate how rare that seems to be & is becoming worse. Great video, Kendall 🖤
Reading your comment while the victim impact statements were playing in Kendall's video, made me think of the song The Bullet by Carrie Underwood. This poor family has suffered so much due to this arsehole. All Molly wanted was to be happy in her life, and this arse stole her life. I wonder what his wife is up to now? I wonder how his daughter is doing, since they are also victims in this. Such a sad story. People are fqd......
I appreciate you covering Molly’s case. I’m from the Moberly area, and while I never knew her personally, so many people did. She was a sweet soul who was taken too soon.
Big Red Flag……. he presented his actual wife as the “ex” throughout the relationship with Molly. Why in a seven year relationship wouldn’t Molly ever meet his kids? I have an ex wife and never hid my children from my girlfriends. Especially a SEVEN year relationship. I wish Molly would have questioned why she has never met his kids!
Yes !! HTH did the daughter go to MOLLY'S house for the costume ?? How did they act\talk in front of her ?? That part stood out so much to me You've been "dating" for SEVEN yrs & your fiance never meets the kids ?? That's just beyond suspish to me
@@txmom2boys that's exactly what I was thinking! I know everyone is different BUT what can he have possibly said to her about never going to his home????
I felt personally related to how Molly was described as sometimes "too trusting" as I can often be the same way. Also, women with autism (& other neurodivergencies) are statistically more likely to be victims of domestic violence so I think this case is extremely important to talk about the heightened risks faced by autistic people such as myself.
I'm not a woman, but am AFAB and autistic, as well, and have definitely had a lot of abusive relationships and of people taking advantage of my confusion around social stuff, tendency to be trusting, and my lack of trust in myself and tendency to default to what other's tell me is okay (due to people constantly telling me I was exaggerating or wasn't experiencing the things I was experiencing when I was growing up).
Yeah I relate to this a lot. I'm a trans guy, so biologically female and pretty darn severe ADHD among other things. I've been in bad situations just from being too trusting. I felt like I related to Molly in a lot of ways.
@@MS-42 I'm non-binary AFAB myself, and I totally agree that being not cisgender while also autistic is an important factor--in fact, autistic people are more likely to not be cisgender as well. Especially with the way transphobia has seemed to me to be more "socially relevant", hate crimes are also such an additional risk for LGBTQ+ autistic people because of our tendencies to not be able to be socially aware enough to avoid or even handle situations that could put us in danger like that.
@@saro9909 UA-cam sometimes doesn't allow links but I can help guide you to what sources I've consulted. For a more general study, "Individuals with disabilities [such as autism] are 4 to 10 times more likely to be victims of crime" (Sobsey, et. al., 1995). More specifically, "[r]esearch indicates that sexual violence affects about 30% of women in the general population and between two to three times as much for autistic women."(Cazalis et al., 2022)
I think she has! Because on her ig her baby shower was 3 weeks ago and then she had vlogged after her baby shower that she was possibly going to deliver early which would be in 2 weeks from that vlog. So congratulations Kendall and Josh!
These narcissist get a thrill out of deceiving. It makes them excited like they are getting away with something, like a little kid. They figure out what you want and hold it over you and you let them get away with more because you want that thing.
Wow. Declan's victim impact letter was deeply touching. What an awful hole this man left in Molly's family and his own. That he can't just accept his sentence and go away quietly says so much about him. A true remorseless monster.
The impact statements took my breathe away. What beautiful words about Molly they used, and how perfectly worded everything was. I feel so sorry for this family. They deserved so much better.
This was so heartbreaking! Molly was such a beautiful person and her son's her sons words in court were incredible!! I'm so glad that POS person got caught and is paying for what he did!
This is crazy! I was following Molly’s nail polish business when this all happened. She was so excited for her marriage and honeymoon. She was letting her customers know she was going to be away for a few days. ☹️ What a sick and twisted man.
This. I did some testing of polish for Molly. I hope James pays for what he did in so many ways. I remember her photo of getting her hair done for her wedding and how excited she was.
@@kathleenkarppinen9559 It’s absolutely astonishing that people would rather take the life of another person rather than tell the truth about their double life. I hope he never gets released. I’m glad his now ex wife and daughter did the right thing telling the truth about what he hid and did that night. I hope Molly is in peace, someplace safe and happy.
Crazy that people really have the balls to live two lives. I was heartbroken when my boyfriend of two years took this other girl on the same vacation, to the same hotel and the same restaurants while we were dating. Eventually I learned he didn’t cheat on me with her but cheated on her with me. They had been dating 7 years. 🤯
I was married to someone and he led a double life 🥴 cheating on me with another woman for 5 years 😳 i had absolutely no idea until she obviously wanted him to herself and thats when his mask fell off!! Took me 2 years to get over everything but now I'm happy and loving my single life 😁 learnt to love myself more than ever and no one will ever do that to me again ☺
I know someone who was in the same situation. Her husband even had kids with the other woman! He finally told her and left her for the other woman and laughed at her for trusting him! What a disgusting piece of crap! Sorry for the loss of the man you thought you had, but glad you know the truth and are happy now! 😊
That's just devastating! But look at you now, a strong independent woman doing better without him....what he lost eh. Well done and congrats on your new found happiness!
You’d be surprised…there’s parents who have killed their OWN CHILDREN & VICEVERSA…Trust and believe everything’s possible sadly. I personally don’t even trust my own shadow!
This scumbag had two women who loved him unconditionally and still didn't care. So many people, like Molly, are just looking for the right one. My heart breaks for her family.
My ex husband of 14 years did this. Was married to me, but started dating someone and told her we were in the process of a divorce. Proceeded to live a double life, married to me, but also dating this young woman. This went on for years. I often times look back and think that I’m so lucky he didn’t murder one of us…because he was never going to come clean with either one of us or make a decision and pick a life.
@@cristyluv1205 yup! She was 21 when they met and began dating (and he and I were 35), so unfortunately she was probably gullible and inexperienced enough to just believe him.
@@crafterdeidra thank you ❤️ it’s coming up on one year from the divorce and I’m moving on more and more each day. It was absolute hell finding out though. Some days I can’t believe I survived the shock, trauma, and heartache. There was so much emotional and financial abuse, lots of gaslighting, and so much lying. He managed to cheat and find a way to make me feel like everything was all MY fault. I’d take physical pain over that any day.
This happened to me. I married a man who lied from the beginning only I didn't know it because he was from a really outstanding and good family. When I started to find out, it was so hard to know how to escape without being killed while trying to end the marriage. In the end, he hired a very crooked and expensive attorney who kept on perjuring the court. They believed him and I lost. It was a terrible injustice. But at least I'm still alive.
I admire you for continuing to film during your 3rd trimester. That's such an exhausting time during a pregnancy and you're a rock star. I hope you're able to take afew months off, that would be amazing 👏 Can't wait to meet the little bundle of joy. (If you decide to share, if not, THAT'S OK too😁❤️)
Such as sad story. Molly sounds like such a sweet person; to be murdered by someone she loved and trusted for so many years is horrifying. I feel sad for everyone effected by this event. On a happier note, congrats to you and Josh! Parenthood is the most amazing journey ever and you guys are going to be great. Take care, take the time, and enjoy every moment. They go by too fast- my daughter turns 18 this year. ❤️
The part that confuses me is being in a relationship for 7 years with someone, but never meeting their children (that you know they're not estranged from). Even if you didn't want to get involved in the kids life, I can't imagine you wouldn't want to at least meet them.
The thing that confuses me the most is the fact that he just went along with the marriage. Like, if he had just said "I don't wanna get married since my last marriage was shit", then absolutely none of that would have ever happened. I don't know, I don't understand what the fuck was going on in his head. Being a cheater is one thing, but being this dumb AND a murderer?
I don’t know the wife is also so suspicious to me. Like why would she think that the police is announcing the passing of a coworker . Strange … also how could you let slide an affair for 7 years and not notice. Seems impossible to me .
I watched the 20/20 on this..such a sad case.. James wife seems like she is a sweet woman who obviously didn’t deserve what was done behind her back and Molly absolutely did not deserve this.. so heartbreaking
As someone who has Asperger’s syndrome I really loved that Kendall talked about the positives of it instead of focusing on the negative aspects. That being said my heart breaks for Molly’s family as she didn’t deserve this. RIP Molly
I was in a relationship like this. I was with a man for THREE YEARS and engaged only to find out he was living a double life and had 3 kids with the woman and they were living a regular life together too. He’d told me he was divorced and it ended up he’d lied and made up the whole thing and was leading me on. I was devastated
@@christina678 after so many excuses in his part to advance in life my sister called Up the court house and marriage and divorce are public records in Alabama so they checked and there was a marriage but no divorce for him. At this point he’d stolen my vehicle that was the only thing I had of my mother who passed away. I never was able to get it back. He forged my name on documents and I found out he’d then registered it to the woman he had lied to me about being divorced from. He had “borrowed” the truck from me and was supposed to bring it back and never did. After confronting him with this information I’d found out he blocked me on every thing and I didn’t have the money to pursue a criminal case which he knew. And small claims said I didn’t have enough evidence on what he’d done. It was devastating in so many ways and so many areas in my life. I also got contacted from his sister and mom calling me awful names and insisting that I knew about the other life and I absolutely did not know. Turned out that the wife knew about me tho and I believe but could never prove that he and she both were scamming people for money and whatever else of value they could get. It’s disgusting and I hate myself for it all happening but I met an amazing man later on and we’ve been married for 2 years now and I’m happy. It’s just insane how easy it is for people to do this and hurt so many
This story is so heartbreaking. Hearing about Molly in the beginning I could really see how sweet and a loving person she was. I feel for her and her family And also the wife and daughter , omg , I can only imagine. To not know a thing and to find that out and especially to find out my husband was saying I “passed away & planning my funeral” this case is truly sad. Thank you for the upload Kendall Rae, take your time and enjoy your precious baby girl we will all be here when you get back. 💕💕
I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for his daughter to testify against her dad, but I imagine she thought of it as defending/protecting her mother. She did the right thing. Molly did not deserve to die.
I absolutely soar inside when I see your face these last 9 months. Pregnancy and motherhood suits you so well and I am so thrilled to see you and Josh soaking it all up. Much, much love. ❤
My ex led a double life and I'm grateful everyday that he chose to leave me and not take me or my children out. Congrats to you and Josh! Enjoy every second with your little one, time goes by so fast when you're having fun!!
My ex also led a double life, this story definitely triggered me because it seemed so familiar to my own life. Except thank god my ex had just left after ruining my life. Still picking up the pieces now but grateful to be alive. May Molly rest in peace.
Declan's letter broke me, especially the last line about his mum. My hear goes out to everyone because they are all victims of this horrible man. Thank you so much for sharing these cases with us Mama Kendall. So glad you had a safe delivery and we are all so excited for your journey into Mommyhood.
i’m only 5 minutes in, but i feel so deeply connected to molly. my older sister has autism and loves cartoons and disney. our favorite movie to watch together was tangled, so when she started singing the healing incantation song i teared up! her voice is beautiful
Wow, Molly's brother and son Declan made a brave, eloquent and very impactful - Impact Statement. Declan - your mother would have been so very proud of you and definitely loved you to pieces, evidenced by the strength of words you used to describe her and your relationship. I am proud for you for really using your voice at the perfect time and manner to express your love & loss. May you be as loving to others as you & your mother were to each other!
honestly I'm so proud of you for pulling through all of what happened and becoming a mom. you will be an absolute badass mom i just know it. I'm so happy for you.
Congratulations! My daughter just had her 5th baby on July 14th! Such a blessing. I'm excited for you. Being a Mom is the best blessing EVER!!! You'll be a great mom!
I’m two minutes in AND damn Molly seems so nice and like the type of person I would want to be friends with. Knowing what happened to her breaks my heart. 💔
It's so unfair to her I feel that the news were calling her his mistress. She didn't know that he was cheating. She thought he was gonna marry her and that his wife was dead.
that’s still considered a mistress even if she didn’t know. He was cheating on his wife with her and vice versa which makes her a mistress. But I agree it feels so disheartening and i feel horrible for her.
@@vmmurphy3918i agree a mistress is aware the man is married and made a conscious decision to continue the affair anyway regardless of the possible consequences. Molly thought she was a woman dating a single man and about to embark on a new life with her future husband.
That letter from Molly's son was heartbreaking. The children are truly the biggest collateral damage to any murder (for both parties). And the fact that he wants a retrial makes me sick. May Molly rest in peace.
Married men are delusional. Will step all the way out of their marriage then go to literal death to protect their secrets. Double life is always appalling
I get that she was naïve and overly trusting but..... 7 years together, engaged to be married, and you've never met any of his friends or family, or gotten to know his children? That's INSANE.
Molly DID meet James' daughter. She knew who she was when she met her, but Emma didn't know Molly was her dads mistress. Besides, not everyone is close to family. We don't know that he didn't tell Molly some big story about how he didn't have much close family - in order to keep her from continually asking to meet them.
I can’t believe how much pain this man has caused. He is where he needs to be. I feel so much pain for the family that is left behind on both sides. Thank you again for the stories you bring us. You’re faithful fan, Nikki.
Sending lots of love to you while you take your well deserved time off and get to meet your baby girl. So excited for you and Josh, you will be amazing! Can't wait for you both to get back to work but we will all be waiting, supporting and championing you both in this new chapter. Much love ❤️
So happy for you and Josh 🥰 I can’t imagine how excited you guys are right now!! Hoping for a safe and easy delivery for you and y’all’s baby girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Huge congratulations to you, I've watched this just now and know your little lady has arrived. Wishing you all the best newborn snuggles and love. Take as much time as you need, we will all be here when your back. As for this case it was crazy, how he could do that to them both. How can he just end her life after 7 years together just because she was so close to learning the truth. He stole a beautiful soul away , Rip Molly
The letter Declan wrote on behalf of his mother was so amazingly articulate and insightful! I am under the impression that he is still quite young…which makes it that much more moving!
I really couldn’t be his defense attorney because I would’ve been in tears calling him a monster after hearing those impact statements from her son and brother 😢
You will be the best mom ever! The concern that you feel for those who aren’t connected to you confirms what I know you’ll feel for your baby. I love you!! Thanks for all the love that you’ve shown for the lost… 💯❤️💯
This made me cry. From all the pain that one person caused towards All the person that just simply genuinely loved him. How can you have the heart to do this to someone that has your heart in your best interest?
i feel so bad for Molly and her family, but Amber as well :( from what we're shown it looks like she was a wonderful partner but got cast aside for Molly's eventual murderer...
Exactly!!! Like in no way did Molly deserve to be murdered or anything. But I don’t get why everyone’s talking about what an amazing, perfect person she was. It sounds like she did good things in life, which is great, but she was a cheater too. People don’t magically become perfect just because they’re dead. It doesn’t erase their mistakes, or the hurt they’ve caused.
It's so easy to not cheat. It's also so easy to not kill people. Just get a divorce or break up. I swear half of these cases could've been solved with 'just get a divorce.'
I have a lot of the same feelings as a lot of people in the comments here, but I just wanted to say -- I was STRUCK by how beautiful her singing voice is! So incredibly talented. My deepest condolences to her loved ones for losing the ability to hear that gift, and her presence in general. (Also congrats on the baby!! Saw her pictures on Instagram, she's adorable :) )
Her singing the Tangled song made me tear up a bit. She just seemed like such a happy woman with plenty of interests and ambitions and it was just stolen from her. It's really too bad she was a cheater.
it’s been 9ish hours since Josh’s last post so i’m gonna say congrats momma, you deserve every bit of happiness with this little bundle of joy. love you so much Kendall♥️
Years ago i was in a relationship with someone who cheated like that, it wouldn't be suprising if he commited crimes like this guy. Extreme lying is a MAJOR red flag.
I can't wait for you and Josh to welcome your sweet baby girl into the world!! And I can't wait for the day that y'all decide to introduce her to us! Sending you tons of love and positive vibes. 💕
The fact that you made a video right before labor says so much about you and who you are as a person. I hope you had a safe and good delivery and I hope you are getting rest and all the help you need!
Kendall, i just wanted to say that you and your channel really helped me, and saved my life. 2 years ago, you posted a video rhe day before my birthday, and that was the first video i watched. i was moving, and having a really tough time. my anxiety became really bad partly because of covid, and i couldn’t even leave my room. it broke my heart not even being able to have dinner with my family, but i just felt so low. i picked up a lot of hobbies during that time, but what helped me the most was you. i would watch all of your videos and spend hours trying to figure out what happened before the video ended. you have me something to look forward to. soon after, i found the mike higher podcast. then, i was able to hear even more of the thing that kept me going. then, the sesh. i slowly and slowly became better, and now, i’m about to begin a new chapter in my life, and i’m so thankful that i had you and your channel. thank you kendall. also, i am beyond excited for you to be a mother! your little girl is going to have the best family ever! i hope you are doing well, and that the birth goes/went well! also, thank you so much janelle, you bring so much life to the sesh, and i LOVE it!! once again, thank you.
Cant wait to see you be mommy. How exciting!! Hope you have a smooth delivery. The best moment of your life will be once you become parents. You guys are so blessed! Sending love from California 🖤🖤
Oh yeah, I have family members who have Asperger’s and they are socially naïve and VERY trusting. This was probably the only way this man’s double life was able to work, and is unfortunately what lead to her death
I'm autistic. I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed. He also seemed to be reckless in some ways that kind of surprised me -- introducing his daughter to Molly, and taking his wife on the same vacation/to all the same places a week after going there with Molly.
I was also born in Moberly, Missouri, but moved away from there when I was 8. Never heard of this case before this. Thanks for shedding light on lesser known cases and getting their stories out!
I never knew Molly and this is the first time I've heard of this case. Molly just shines with positivity and passion and that's something alot of people lose or can never possess. This is a complete tragedy and it's very upsetting that people take others lives just because they themselves messed up badly. What a waste of a beautiful soul. I hope that man is in pure agony and sufferibg for the rest of his miserable life.
Prayers for all involved, those that lost so much! To Mollys family and also to the ex wife and her children too! Mollys son was so correct honesty is very important and could have saved so much drama and heartbreak. Even with Molly finding out , they could of split. Now everyone is suffering. What a tragedy
I'm crying. I knew Molly personally. Thank you for covering this case. Molly was very loved and I miss her.
Sending you many healing vibes and prayers as you navigate the road of grief.
Sorry for you’re grief. 😢
I’m so sorry for your loss sending you lots of love 💕
So sorry for such a senseless and tragic horror.
She misses you too 🤍
The fact that his daughter told on him is so impressive and it must have been so hard for her. She is so strong I can only imagine how traumatic that was for her. She did the right thing for molly and her family and for that she deserves so much praise 👏
I wonder if he was contemplating killing his daughter as well? Since he stood in the doorway while she was in the bathroom?
Doing the right thing deserves praise? Well, that is a low bar.
@@Lee-qu4ce oh mate give over she was a young girl, going against her father that does deserve praise was probably very difficult

@@jodilindberg I am so, so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine having to go through such a thing. Sending prayers and my heart out to you and your family
I can’t imagine sleeping next to someone for 23 years and one day finding out they’re not only a cheater but a murderer too. I can’t imagine how disorienting that would be.
i would find it so hard to trust again
I was thinking the same thing, finding 7 years worth of evidence of his double life… taking her on the same trip he took his fiancé on. How can someone do that? How can someone actually live a double life like that? A psychopath. I hope he never gets out. Melanie and Molly deserved better. Their kids deserved better. He deserves to rot.
this is exactly why the saying “you can’t trust anyone” exists.. it truly is disorienting & a huge mind fuq. 😢
Ya, no one really knows anybody
Just utterly gut wrenching to find that your husband is a complete monster 👹
Molly's sons letter gave me chills.. And major props to his daughter. That all must've been very hard for her..
Molly was my little brother's counselor while he was incarcerated. He was illiterate and she helped him so much. Its such a shame this happened to her.
Aww omg this is so sad god bless her for helping your brother.
I hope he is doing well, give him my best.
I hope your brother is doing well & has overcome whatever issues contributed to his incarceration. ❤️
Molly was NOT a good person! Not only was she cheating with aarried man but she was sleeping with her boss!
@@NativeWarrior88Unless u didn’t watch the video, pretty sure she was told the man that MURDERED her wasn’t married; cheating is a shitty thing to do but it doesn’t mean she’s overall a bad person and jt doesn’t mean she deserved to die in this way
What a brave daughter for testifying against her father. It’s so scary how you never truly know someone and what they’re capable of.
The daughter was just telling the truth.
@@LahainaStrong444 which is hard to do when it’s your parent who you thought was a loving caring person thats being sentenced for murder
It’s very hard to stand against your parents, especially in a court of law, and you never know how they will choose to retaliate against you. She believed her father was a good and loving man but she learned he had killed someone she personally knew and liked. That’s an insanely tough situation to be put in the middle of, especially for a kid.
@@LahainaStrong444JUST telling the truth? don’t try to downplay her bravery. telling the truth is more often harder than lying to save face and protect your own mental state. imagine someone you grew up with, who took care of you, provided for you, interacted with you every day from the moment you were born, turned out to be a monster capable of such deceit and even murder. she was only a teenager when this happened, someone still dependent on her parents, yet she had the courage and the moral compass to stand against her father. that is highly commendable. the more common route we see is family members of the suspect insisting the suspect is innocent because they can’t bear to face the reality. that’s a natural human reaction. yet this young woman testified against her own father because she knew it was the right thing to do.
Molly's son's statement broke my heart and blew my mind, how he could be so eloquent and blunt and brave in speaking to his mother's killer.
The daughter was brave to testify against her Dad; and the wife saying that she believed he was capable of murder is also crazy!
Yes. I love how brave and straightforward they both were. I can't fathom what Molly saw in James. Hope the daughter and Mom can move on and forget the PoS
SEE immorality is never a good thing she was going with a woman then a married man. GOD HAS RULES for a reason many of these murders are committed by immoral and lust driven people. Who jump from from bed to bed. Wake-up JESUS is coming soon
Brave, good people!
When I heard you say “ I might just be a mom already” I look over on Instagram and see you guys are at the hospital, congratulations!!!! 💛
👏❤️✨🙌🙌🙌✨💓❤️💖✨💗✨
I did the exact same thing 🤣
@@bbgun2010 Same here lol.
Same x
Exactly what I did too! so excited for them ❤️
We do NOT care about the quality of sound when you’re out of breath from being a pregnant mommy!! We love you guys and are so happy that y’all are sharing your journey with us! Can’t wait to see your bundle of joy 🥰
YES! And can't wait to see what lil Cutie's name is too! 😍😁
I've heard more out of breath pregnant on a podcast and it was one of my favorite episodes. We know your lungs do not have enough room 👌
If anyone is bothered by it they can scr3w themselves. It's not normal as a society to hate pregnant women who are responsible for creating the next generation of people who will be taking care of us when we are older.
Yeah it's not that big of a deal at all
I approve this message, lol. Congratulations, we're so happy for you. 😊
How is there no state or nationwide database to verify someone's marital status in the US? That's crazyyy. People that live a double life are so scary to me
I'm also confused like what??? So people can just marry as many people as they want and no one will ever known?? Wtf 💀
It's shocking, bc any country with minimal state infrastructure would have a national or at least local database and the marital status linked to the person's ID.
The USA not even having databases with this at the state level that can be accessed by the public employees who emit marriage licenses is so wild.
Girl don’t you worry about us. You could take 10 years to be with your baby girl and we would still be here when you get back. Soak in these moments. Congratulations. ❤️❤️❤️
💯
If any of you guys are like me, I rewatch eps on all her and Josh's channels. You've already even us so much free content Kendall 💖💖
Molly's son's impact statement gave me chills. Such a heartbreaking loss for her entire family and friends
I know, it cracked my heart.
Good luck with the birth of your baby 💯🤲
We need a t-shirt that says, “If you’re cheating, just tell her. Don’t kill her.” This scenario is WAAY too common! So, so sad.
great comment, why not just get a divorce ? such a sad story....
@@ickleshouse He didn't even need a divorce. He didn't kill his wife. All he had to do was walk away.
Don't even have to tell if you're that afraid of owning up to your own reprehensible actions. Just divorce, run away, commit pseudoside, invent a memory wipe mib pen, there are options!
Also if you want to leave her, divorce don't murder!
@@totally_a_spy I'd buy a shirt like that. "DIVORCE, NOT MURDER 👎"
I really love the way her son’s letter laid into him. Bless his little heart.
Best of luck in the coming weeks! Congratulations!
Yes! ❤️
That kid is an absolute boss.
It’s interesting how several of her family members got the creeps from this guy. I think it teaches us to listen to those who love us. Love can be blind. RIP Molly.
Yes. It almost costed me my own life 10y ago but my family made known and didn't care whether I was in love or not. You are never too old for family to get involved. Her family should have done something instead of being like ohhh welll. She's happy though
@@Lavendermoon77 As Kendall always says, watch what you say as family may be in these comments. Please don't add guilt to this already heartbreaking tragedy.
I agree. However, it bothered me that one of the signs that they listed was, "wouldn't look us in the eye." That is a significant issue that causes prejudice towards people on the autism spectrum. Some find looking people in the eye to be quite uncomfortable and it is misinterpreted as indicating untrustworthiness.
@@mbl882 As Molly was also on the spectrum, I doubt they meant it that way. They most likely meant that he was shady as hell.
@@gaaraxnaru The reason it bothered me was that, given that Molly was on the spectrum, they would know that that is a significant problem that leads to people being unfairly stigmatized. That said, her family can say whatever they want, however they want given the hell they have been through. What a heartbreaking story.
the fact that you prerecorded videos because, even though YOU were the one that was pregnant, you STILL thought of your youtube audience and i think that’s completely selfless and just incredible. i admire you so much
Molly's son's victim impact letter ... 😢 So well written. So powerful. I feel for that kid, and that entire family as it sounds like they lost more than just Molly as a result of that day. The single action of a deplorable human being started the ripple effects of pain that are always there when someone we love dies, but for both Molly's mother and then her father to die because of their grief (according to Molly's brother) ... 😟
This is one of those rare cases in which I feel the police AND the justice system got it right. Unfortunate how rare that seems to be & is becoming worse.
Great video, Kendall 🖤
Reading your comment while the victim impact statements were playing in Kendall's video, made me think of the song The Bullet by Carrie Underwood. This poor family has suffered so much due to this arsehole. All Molly wanted was to be happy in her life, and this arse stole her life. I wonder what his wife is up to now? I wonder how his daughter is doing, since they are also victims in this. Such a sad story. People are fqd......
So sad and then to hear her brother's impact statement, this man not only killed Molly, but her mom and dad too.
Legit snorted when the prosecutor asked his wife, "Is it fair to say that you did not pass away in April of 2018?"
Molly's son and brothers statements were so heartbreaking. The losses her family had to endure because of this selfish man is so painful.

MOLLYS SCREAMING IN HELL 🔥 😂
@@penelopephelange What?!
I appreciate you covering Molly’s case. I’m from the Moberly area, and while I never knew her personally, so many people did. She was a sweet soul who was taken too soon.
**scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else lives nearby** I'm just north of Macon 👋🏻
I used to live in Fayette! I also used to be friends with her niece! She was adored!
I have family from Moberly. Use to go every year to visit my aunt Gucci
@@amrogers4 I was doing the same 😅 I'm also north of Macon!
@@MiguidedGh0st Small world ;)
Big Red Flag……. he presented his actual wife as the “ex” throughout the relationship with Molly. Why in a seven year relationship wouldn’t Molly ever meet his kids? I have an ex wife and never hid my children from my girlfriends. Especially a SEVEN year relationship. I wish Molly would have questioned why she has never met his kids!
Yes !! HTH did the daughter go to MOLLY'S house for the costume ?? How did they act\talk in front of her ?? That part stood out so much to me You've been "dating" for SEVEN yrs & your fiance never meets the kids ?? That's just beyond suspish to me
Or why she never went to his house?
@@txmom2boys that's exactly what I was thinking! I know everyone is different BUT what can he have possibly said to her about never going to his home????
Mark.... it's because you're normal. He wasn't.
@@TripleG1221 she seemed very desperate. He probably had her wrapped around her finger
I felt personally related to how Molly was described as sometimes "too trusting" as I can often be the same way. Also, women with autism (& other neurodivergencies) are statistically more likely to be victims of domestic violence so I think this case is extremely important to talk about the heightened risks faced by autistic people such as myself.
I'm not a woman, but am AFAB and autistic, as well, and have definitely had a lot of abusive relationships and of people taking advantage of my confusion around social stuff, tendency to be trusting, and my lack of trust in myself and tendency to default to what other's tell me is okay (due to people constantly telling me I was exaggerating or wasn't experiencing the things I was experiencing when I was growing up).
Yeah I relate to this a lot. I'm a trans guy, so biologically female and pretty darn severe ADHD among other things. I've been in bad situations just from being too trusting. I felt like I related to Molly in a lot of ways.
@@MS-42 I'm non-binary AFAB myself, and I totally agree that being not cisgender while also autistic is an important factor--in fact, autistic people are more likely to not be cisgender as well. Especially with the way transphobia has seemed to me to be more "socially relevant", hate crimes are also such an additional risk for LGBTQ+ autistic people because of our tendencies to not be able to be socially aware enough to avoid or even handle situations that could put us in danger like that.
Do you have a source for that statistic? I am curious
@@saro9909 UA-cam sometimes doesn't allow links but I can help guide you to what sources I've consulted. For a more general study, "Individuals with disabilities [such as autism] are 4 to 10 times more likely to be victims of crime" (Sobsey, et. al., 1995). More specifically, "[r]esearch indicates that sexual violence affects about 30% of women in the general population and between two to three times as much for autistic women."(Cazalis et al., 2022)
Wishing you the best of luck with your little girl!! Rest up and take all the time you need. Congratulations! ❤️
Has she had the baby?
I think she has! Because on her ig her baby shower was 3 weeks ago and then she had vlogged after her baby shower that she was possibly going to deliver early which would be in 2 weeks from that vlog. So congratulations Kendall and Josh!
Really a joyous event for all your many fans! 🍀
I'm kinda keeping baby watch. I'm so happy for Kendall n Josh.
He didn’t only kill Molly but both her parents..This is so heartbreaking
These narcissist get a thrill out of deceiving. It makes them excited like they are getting away with something, like a little kid. They figure out what you want and hold it over you and you let them get away with more because you want that thing.
The daughter is living through severe trauma. I can’t imagine. She’s amazing for being vocal in court.
Wow. Declan's victim impact letter was deeply touching. What an awful hole this man left in Molly's family and his own. That he can't just accept his sentence and go away quietly says so much about him. A true remorseless monster.
I’m literally still crying 😭😭😭
And not only did he lose his mother, he lost his grandparents as a result. Monster isn't strong enough of a word. I don't know what is.
Qaq1Qa
The impact statements took my breathe away. What beautiful words about Molly they used, and how perfectly worded everything was. I feel so sorry for this family. They deserved so much better.
This was so heartbreaking! Molly was such a beautiful person and her son's her sons words in court were incredible!! I'm so glad that POS person got caught and is paying for what he did!
I really appreciate how much you center the victims in your stories, so much media sensationalizes the murderers
I absolutely started bawling when they read Declan’s letter. That poor, poor little boy. To lose his mother so senselessly.
This is crazy! I was following Molly’s nail polish business when this all happened. She was so excited for her marriage and honeymoon. She was letting her customers know she was going to be away for a few days. ☹️ What a sick and twisted man.
This. I did some testing of polish for Molly. I hope James pays for what he did in so many ways. I remember her photo of getting her hair done for her wedding and how excited she was.
@@kathleenkarppinen9559 It’s absolutely astonishing that people would rather take the life of another person rather than tell the truth about their double life. I hope he never gets released. I’m glad his now ex wife and daughter did the right thing telling the truth about what he hid and did that night. I hope Molly is in peace, someplace safe and happy.
Crazy that people really have the balls to live two lives. I was heartbroken when my boyfriend of two years took this other girl on the same vacation, to the same hotel and the same restaurants while we were dating. Eventually I learned he didn’t cheat on me with her but cheated on her with me. They had been dating 7 years. 🤯
You said boyfriend , so is he still your boyfriend ? 🤔 😯
He cheated on both of you. So sorry you had to go through that. Hope he learned from what he did.
@@123hotcheetos123 boyfriend of two years meaning they were together for 2 years
Meanwhile there's other guys who couldn't get laid if their lives depended on it.
The amount of energy, time and money that took for him to do that instead of just not being a pig is crazy
Rest In Peace, Molly. She seemed such a kind person.
She literally cheated and I'm not saying she deserved to get murdered but still she wasn't so kind
I was married to someone and he led a double life 🥴 cheating on me with another woman for 5 years 😳 i had absolutely no idea until she obviously wanted him to herself and thats when his mask fell off!! Took me 2 years to get over everything but now I'm happy and loving my single life 😁 learnt to love myself more than ever and no one will ever do that to me again ☺
I know someone who was in the same situation. Her husband even had kids with the other woman! He finally told her and left her for the other woman and laughed at her for trusting him! What a disgusting piece of crap! Sorry for the loss of the man you thought you had, but glad you know the truth and are happy now! 😊
@@lizajane2971 thank you ❤
good for u!!! karma will work
i’m so sorry you went through that 🫂 i hope you are loving your best life 🤍🤍
That's just devastating! But look at you now, a strong independent woman doing better without him....what he lost eh. Well done and congrats on your new found happiness!
Being as close to my husband as I am, I cannot imagine how in the world this even happens!?!?!? These poor women 😢
Stay safe! You never truly know a person.
You’d be surprised…there’s parents who have killed their OWN CHILDREN & VICEVERSA…Trust and believe everything’s possible sadly. I personally don’t even trust my own shadow!
Molly’s son’s impact statement was so powerful. Poor kid. He’ll never see his mom again because of that coward.
This scumbag had two women who loved him unconditionally and still didn't care. So many people, like Molly, are just looking for the right one. My heart breaks for her family.
Makes you scared to even date. They both deserved so much better
It upset me that he had no remorse 😠
He had five women who loved him, married four times before Molly. Sick
Sounds like Amber could have been a nice one.
How?!! Why???@@ashleykathryn9038
My ex husband of 14 years did this. Was married to me, but started dating someone and told her we were in the process of a divorce. Proceeded to live a double life, married to me, but also dating this young woman. This went on for years. I often times look back and think that I’m so lucky he didn’t murder one of us…because he was never going to come clean with either one of us or make a decision and pick a life.
How convenient to use the ol' "we're in the process of getting a divorce". Yeah right. Anytime a man tells you that.......RUN!!!!
@@cristyluv1205 yup! She was 21 when they met and began dating (and he and I were 35), so unfortunately she was probably gullible and inexperienced enough to just believe him.
So sorry you had to go through that!
@@crafterdeidra thank you ❤️ it’s coming up on one year from the divorce and I’m moving on more and more each day. It was absolute hell finding out though. Some days I can’t believe I survived the shock, trauma, and heartache. There was so much emotional and financial abuse, lots of gaslighting, and so much lying. He managed to cheat and find a way to make me feel like everything was all MY fault. I’d take physical pain over that any day.
You are fortunate that jerk didnt hurt either of you more.
This happened to me. I married a man who lied from the beginning only I didn't know it because he was from a really outstanding and good family. When I started to find out, it was so hard to know how to escape without being killed while trying to end the marriage. In the end, he hired a very crooked and expensive attorney who kept on perjuring the court. They believed him and I lost. It was a terrible injustice. But at least I'm still alive.
I admire you for continuing to film during your 3rd trimester. That's such an exhausting time during a pregnancy and you're a rock star. I hope you're able to take afew months off, that would be amazing 👏 Can't wait to meet the little bundle of joy. (If you decide to share, if not, THAT'S OK too😁❤️)

Such as sad story. Molly sounds like such a sweet person; to be murdered by someone she loved and trusted for so many years is horrifying. I feel sad for everyone effected by this event.

The part that confuses me is being in a relationship for 7 years with someone, but never meeting their children (that you know they're not estranged from).
Even if you didn't want to get involved in the kids life, I can't imagine you wouldn't want to at least meet them.
but in the video, it was mentioned that the daughter have met Molly for the costume making
And she has a form of autism they don't really think of things like that my son is just like that
The thing that confuses me the most is the fact that he just went along with the marriage. Like, if he had just said "I don't wanna get married since my last marriage was shit", then absolutely none of that would have ever happened. I don't know, I don't understand what the fuck was going on in his head. Being a cheater is one thing, but being this dumb AND a murderer?
I guess that's why they say that "Love is blind".
I don’t know the wife is also so suspicious to me. Like why would she think that the police is announcing the passing of a coworker . Strange … also how could you let slide an affair for 7 years and not notice. Seems impossible to me .
I saw that you posted about being in the hospital! CONGRATULATIONS & You've got this! Take all the time you need. So proud of you!!
I watched the 20/20 on this..such a sad case.. James wife seems like she is a sweet woman who obviously didn’t deserve what was done behind her back and Molly absolutely did not deserve this.. so heartbreaking
This is why it’s too dangerous to cheat,she cheated on Amber with him and leaving her for him sadly ended in her life being taken
As someone who has Asperger’s syndrome I really loved that Kendall talked about the positives of it instead of focusing on the negative aspects. That being said my heart breaks for Molly’s family as she didn’t deserve this. RIP Molly
As someone on the spectrum, I fully agree
I was in a relationship like this. I was with a man for THREE YEARS and engaged only to find out he was living a double life and had 3 kids with the woman and they were living a regular life together too. He’d told me he was divorced and it ended up he’d lied and made up the whole thing and was leading me on. I was devastated
I am so sorry you went through this. It must have been incredibly painful for you.
@@shelleyannwalters2375 it was an absolute nightmare. But I’ve since met someone amazing who is now my husband and we are loving life
@@britneywilksrandles5334 if you feel comfortable sharing, how did you find out he was living a double life?
@@christina678 after so many excuses in his part to advance in life my sister called Up the court house and marriage and divorce are public records in Alabama so they checked and there was a marriage but no divorce for him. At this point he’d stolen my vehicle that was the only thing I had of my mother who passed away. I never was able to get it back. He forged my name on documents and I found out he’d then registered it to the woman he had lied to me about being divorced from. He had “borrowed” the truck from me and was supposed to bring it back and never did. After confronting him with this information I’d found out he blocked me on every thing and I didn’t have the money to pursue a criminal case which he knew. And small claims said I didn’t have enough evidence on what he’d done. It was devastating in so many ways and so many areas in my life. I also got contacted from his sister and mom calling me awful names and insisting that I knew about the other life and I absolutely did not know. Turned out that the wife knew about me tho and I believe but could never prove that he and she both were scamming people for money and whatever else of value they could get. It’s disgusting and I hate myself for it all happening but I met an amazing man later on and we’ve been married for 2 years now and I’m happy. It’s just insane how easy it is for people to do this and hurt so many
Me too
This story is so heartbreaking. Hearing about Molly in the beginning I could really see how sweet and a loving person she was. I feel for her and her family And also the wife and daughter , omg , I can only imagine. To not know a thing and to find that out and especially to find out my husband was saying I “passed away & planning my funeral” this case is truly sad.
Thank you for the upload Kendall Rae, take your time and enjoy your precious baby girl we will all be here when you get back. 💕💕
Didn't Molly cheat on her girlfriend? James is a piece of shit, but Molly is definitely not "sweet and loving."
I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for his daughter to testify against her dad, but I imagine she thought of it as defending/protecting her mother. She did the right thing. Molly did not deserve to die.
It’s happening !!! If anyone is watching now. She’s about to give birth 💕 hope mama and baby comes out of this strong and healthy. ❤️ Congrats 🎈🎉
What a well spoken child. His victim impact statement is so moving and beyond his years. That sweet child 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Mollys sons victim impact statements was just so sad and heartfelt. You can really tell she was loved and will be missed
I absolutely soar inside when I see your face these last 9 months. Pregnancy and motherhood suits you so well and I am so thrilled to see you and Josh soaking it all up. Much, much love. ❤
My ex led a double life and I'm grateful everyday that he chose to leave me and not take me or my children out.
Congrats to you and Josh! Enjoy every second with your little one, time goes by so fast when you're having fun!!
My ex also led a double life, this story definitely triggered me because it seemed so familiar to my own life. Except thank god my ex had just left after ruining my life. Still picking up the pieces now but grateful to be alive. May Molly rest in peace.
Declan's letter broke me, especially the last line about his mum. My hear goes out to everyone because they are all victims of this horrible man.
Thank you so much for sharing these cases with us Mama Kendall. So glad you had a safe delivery and we are all so excited for your journey into Mommyhood.

AHHHH!!! Congratulations for the birth of your daughter (whether it’s happened or will happen shortly!!!!!) ❤️🎉❤️
i’m only 5 minutes in, but i feel so deeply connected to molly. my older sister has autism and loves cartoons and disney. our favorite movie to watch together was tangled, so when she started singing the healing incantation song i teared up! her voice is beautiful
Wow, Molly's brother and son Declan made a brave, eloquent and very impactful - Impact Statement. Declan - your mother would have been so very proud of you and definitely loved you to pieces, evidenced by the strength of words you used to describe her and your relationship. I am proud for you for really using your voice at the perfect time and manner to express your love & loss. May you be as loving to others as you & your mother were to each other!
honestly I'm so proud of you for pulling through all of what happened and becoming a mom. you will be an absolute badass mom i just know it. I'm so happy for you.
Congratulations! My daughter just had her 5th baby on July 14th! Such a blessing. I'm excited for you. Being a Mom is the best blessing EVER!!! You'll be a great mom!
Mollys son couldn’t have expressed more beautiful and devastating statements I have not cried so hard watching a case like I did this one💔
I’m two minutes in AND damn Molly seems so nice and like the type of person I would want to be friends with. Knowing what happened to her breaks my heart. 💔
Yes! I hate when talking about victims and you are like I want to be this persons friend and realize oh that’s not going to happen they are gone. :(
It's so unfair to her I feel that the news were calling her his mistress. She didn't know that he was cheating. She thought he was gonna marry her and that his wife was dead.
that’s still considered a mistress even if she didn’t know. He was cheating on his wife with her and vice versa which makes her a mistress. But I agree it feels so disheartening and i feel horrible for her.
Correct….a mistress knows she’s seeing a married man . Molly did not
@@vmmurphy3918i agree a mistress is aware the man is married and made a conscious decision to continue the affair anyway regardless of the possible consequences. Molly thought she was a woman dating a single man and about to embark on a new life with her future husband.
That letter from Molly's son was heartbreaking. The children are truly the biggest collateral damage to any murder (for both parties). And the fact that he wants a retrial makes me sick. May Molly rest in peace.
Kendall and Josh are going to be the best, most down to earth parents. I’m so excited for y’all. ♥️

Her son’s victim impact statement was so powerful, it made me so emotional.
I get that she was naïve and overly trusting but..... 7 years together, engaged to be married, and you've never met any of his friends or family, or gotten to know his children? That's INSANE.
I think I've missed something, where did molly live? Why did they never move in together? Where did he tell her he lived? So confused xx
I was thinking the same thing.
he did meet his daughter, that's how he was able to get caught.
she*
Molly DID meet James' daughter. She knew who she was when she met her, but Emma didn't know Molly was her dads mistress. Besides, not everyone is close to family. We don't know that he didn't tell Molly some big story about how he didn't have much close family - in order to keep her from continually asking to meet them.
I can’t believe how much pain this man has caused. He is where he needs to be. I feel so much pain for the family that is left behind on both sides. Thank you again for the stories you bring us. You’re faithful fan, Nikki.
Sending lots of love to you while you take your well deserved time off and get to meet your baby girl. So excited for you and Josh, you will be amazing! Can't wait for you both to get back to work but we will all be waiting, supporting and championing you both in this new chapter. Much love ❤️

As for this case it was crazy, how he could do that to them both. How can he just end her life after 7 years together just because she was so close to learning the truth. He stole a beautiful soul away , Rip Molly
The letter Declan wrote on behalf of his mother was so amazingly articulate and insightful! I am under the impression that he is still quite young…which makes it that much more moving!
I really couldn’t be his defense attorney because I would’ve been in tears calling him a monster after hearing those impact statements from her son and brother 😢
He has so much depth and such an extraordinary literary talent! I do hope he pursues it.
You will be the best mom ever! The concern that you feel for those who aren’t connected to you confirms what I know you’ll feel for your baby. I love you!! Thanks for all the love that you’ve shown for the lost… 💯❤️💯

from what we're shown it looks like she was a wonderful partner but got cast aside for Molly's eventual murderer...
Agree. James was not the only cheater. Sadly Molly was a cheater too.
@@roseelley4470 yes, cheating always leads to tragedy. It's never worth it.
Exactly!!! Like in no way did Molly deserve to be murdered or anything. But I don’t get why everyone’s talking about what an amazing, perfect person she was. It sounds like she did good things in life, which is great, but she was a cheater too. People don’t magically become perfect just because they’re dead. It doesn’t erase their mistakes, or the hurt they’ve caused.
Happened in my home town, Dad worked with them both at the prison. Such a sad story for her.
It's so easy to not cheat. It's also so easy to not kill people. Just get a divorce or break up. I swear half of these cases could've been solved with 'just get a divorce.'
I have a lot of the same feelings as a lot of people in the comments here, but I just wanted to say -- I was STRUCK by how beautiful her singing voice is! So incredibly talented. My deepest condolences to her loved ones for losing the ability to hear that gift, and her presence in general.
(Also congrats on the baby!! Saw her pictures on Instagram, she's adorable :) )
Her singing the Tangled song made me tear up a bit. She just seemed like such a happy woman with plenty of interests and ambitions and it was just stolen from her. It's really too bad she was a cheater.
Hope all is well Kendall! Thanks for the video and I’m excited you get to meet your daughter soon. 💗💗💗
I see you're in the hospital now, I hope everything goes smoothly for you guys, sending you and Josh and your little one so much love 💘
4 previous marriages, red flags galore, he's the common denominator.
it’s been 9ish hours since Josh’s last post so i’m gonna say congrats momma, you deserve every bit of happiness with this little bundle of joy. love you so much Kendall♥️
Her sons impact statement was so powerful. Poor boy. RIP Molly ❤️❤️🩹
Years ago i was in a relationship with someone who cheated like that, it wouldn't be suprising if he commited crimes like this guy. Extreme lying is a MAJOR red flag.
I can't wait for you and Josh to welcome your sweet baby girl into the world!! And I can't wait for the day that y'all decide to introduce her to us! Sending you tons of love and positive vibes. 💕
Her son’s victim impact statement is heartbreaking. I don’t know exactly how old he is, but he sounds wise beyond his years. ❤️
The fact that you made a video right before labor says so much about you and who you are as a person. I hope you had a safe and good delivery and I hope you are getting rest and all the help you need!
Kendall, i just wanted to say that you and your channel really helped me, and saved my life. 2 years ago, you posted a video rhe day before my birthday, and that was the first video i watched. i was moving, and having a really tough time. my anxiety became really bad partly because of covid, and i couldn’t even leave my room. it broke my heart not even being able to have dinner with my family, but i just felt so low. i picked up a lot of hobbies during that time, but what helped me the most was you. i would watch all of your videos and spend hours trying to figure out what happened before the video ended. you have me something to look forward to. soon after, i found the mike higher podcast. then, i was able to hear even more of the thing that kept me going. then, the sesh. i slowly and slowly became better, and now, i’m about to begin a new chapter in my life, and i’m so thankful that i had you and your channel. thank you kendall. also, i am beyond excited for you to be a mother! your little girl is going to have the best family ever! i hope you are doing well, and that the birth goes/went well! also, thank you so much janelle, you bring so much life to the sesh, and i LOVE it!! once again, thank you.
Cant wait to see you be mommy. How exciting!! Hope you have a smooth delivery. The best moment of your life will be once you become parents. You guys are so blessed! Sending love from California 🖤🖤
And Arizona!🏜
I am so fascinated that someone would rather commit murder that admit to being a liar.
Oh yeah, I have family members who have Asperger’s and they are socially naïve and VERY trusting. This was probably the only way this man’s double life was able to work, and is unfortunately what lead to her death
I'm autistic. I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed. He also seemed to be reckless in some ways that kind of surprised me -- introducing his daughter to Molly, and taking his wife on the same vacation/to all the same places a week after going there with Molly.
I was also born in Moberly, Missouri, but moved away from there when I was 8. Never heard of this case before this. Thanks for shedding light on lesser known cases and getting their stories out!
I never knew Molly and this is the first time I've heard of this case. Molly just shines with positivity and passion and that's something alot of people lose or can never possess. This is a complete tragedy and it's very upsetting that people take others lives just because they themselves messed up badly. What a waste of a beautiful soul. I hope that man is in pure agony and sufferibg for the rest of his miserable life.
Prayers for all involved, those that lost so much! To Mollys family and also to the ex wife and her children too! Mollys son was so correct honesty is very important and could have saved so much drama and heartbreak. Even with Molly finding out , they could of split. Now everyone is suffering. What a tragedy
