    Before his death, Jared Bridegan was regarded as a loving father, husband, and devoted member of the LDS church. He worked a career in user experience design and was most well known for his role at Microsoft. Jared had two children from his first marriage to Shanna Gardner, and following their divorce, he met the true love of his life, Kirsten, and together they had another 2 children. But in February of 2022, everything changed when Jared was shot to death in an ambush-style attack just a few miles down the road from his ex-wife's house. Since then, 3 people have been arrested as part of the conspiracy to murder 33-year-old Jared Galen Bridegan.

      While I can understand how people can eventually grow to not like each other I will never understand how people can grow to despise someone so much that you kill them.
      Knowing how much I love my husband and have always loved him I will never understand. Honestly he would have to do something absolutely horrid like rape or murder one of my family members in cold blood is likely the only thing that could lead for me to hate him and even then I wouldn’t be able to kill him. Our daughter LOVES HIM I feel like she loves her Dad more than she loves me a lot of the time. Our niece and nephews love my husband their love for him is part of what caused me to fall so deeply into love with him. I could never steal him from them and I will never understand being such a shitty ass selfish parent that you would steal your own children parents from them. Gross

      @@Raraking4796I absolutely feel the same way. I cannot imagine any solid reason for this much hate from a human resulting in the murder of someone they once loved and shared their life with. It is by far the most selfish and self absorbed act, to take away their own child’s parent, the parent that helped create those beautiful children, and in this case, the parent who willingly wanted an extra date night with his children, while having a different wife and children with that wife, when most couples do only the basic visitation or shared custody schedule, and I’ve seen so many want the easiest and less “inconvenient” schedule. She quite literally ripped away from her own children, a protector, provider, friend, and someone who likely would’ve loved their children without conditions for their whole lives. It’s heartbreaking and I could not imagine feeling that sort of way towards my partner that I’d want to hurt our child to hurt him. It’s absolutely unimaginable and sickens me to think about.

  • @brie3679
    @brie3679 7 місяців тому +437

    Worst part of this case… is that he wouldn’t have really known who or why he was being killed. Maybe he assumed it was a robbery. His last moments, regardless, probably weren’t “my ex wife!” but “my baby girl”. That man almost certainly died terrified for his baby girl in the truck. That’s unfathomable and unforgivable in my opinion. Had it been obvious to him in some way it was at his ex wife’s doing… yeah, that’s terrible. But being clueless to the reason, scared, confused, and terrified your little girl might be next or might be kidnapped… unfathomable. Unforgivable.

      I totally and completely agree. As soon as Jared was murdered, Shanna took the twins to Washington and wouldn’t allow them to speak or visit with Jared’s side of the family, their stepmom, or their half-sisters. And I am sure that is continuing with Shanna’s parents having custody of the twins. They need their entire support system, not just Shanna’s conniving parents.

    So lemme get this straight. She didnt wanna do shared custody, so she conspires to have the father of her children murdered. Not only that, but the law would catch up with her eventually (although im pretty sure she thought she wouldn't be found out), resulting in her kids losing BOTH their parents?? Not only that, but his daughter had to witness his murder, and now she and her sister also lost their father. The selfishness of some people just disgusts me honestly.

    Hi Kendall! My brother Ben works for the Action News Jax team - you can see him in the top, most-right corner at 19:28 when you show the team coverage section.
    Just an fyi, I was told by him that actually, the law/news knew of Henry's connection to Mario almost immediately after the announcement of his arrest. Apparently, according to Ben, since everything in FL is public record, it was fairly easy to find out.

    She probably ended up being envy of Jared. How his life turned out, with kids a beautiful wife happy life. All that toxic hatred and envy escalated.

I almost lost it when the little girl Brexley was telling her mom “no will come and hurt you I will protect you” 😢 that breaks my heart. I hope these children get the counseling and help they need.

Our children were provided shoes (they had none when they fled the house) and teddy bears. I always assumed that police stations kept something on hand for children involved in situations like this. Bexley Boxes seems like a good idea that needs to be something provided at every Police Station. Especially for the younger kids. Unfortunately, older children's minds are not easily occupied.
