Exactly! How did she explain that to him or his daughter? Also what happened to the money he had? I have questions and they glossed over some things in the story that might have shed some light.
You say the truth but you don't understand you have no evidence that is true. That is a perception. From a bias daughter (that made no known efford to visit her dad in person - by the way). It doesn't even match what happens next after they loose the farm and Daniele moves to her parent's ranch.

She didn't start spending money! I think the father, fearing the daughter intentions were to get her hands of some of that million dollar's money - cut her off. Knowing that the suspitions would fall not on him, but on the new person - and that pleased him because it isolates the victim a lot more. Danielle was isolated from close friends and family. What goes on behing close doors can suprise many. I belive her because everything in her behavior matches the behavior of true trauma victims.

@@NoNO-tl8fgthey were speaking in general terms. If ANY partner (boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband) cuts you off from your loved ones, that's abuse. That's what they were saying. Yes, in this case the wife was abusing (emotionally and financially) her husband, but the point still stands; if someone tries to isolate you from your loved ones, RUN.
The jury got it 100% right. "She's a monster" is absolutely right. He survived two tours in Vietnam and wasn't safe in his own home. It's beyond tragic.
It's her statements that get me. She's quoting things from a internet search. When you're truly recounting a terrible event do you say I feared for my life. Youd probably say I was scared I was going to die. Her whole reenactment was scary,no remorse
This story broke my heart. 💔 How incredibly sad that this lady lost her mother in such a tragic way and then her father is murdered 12 years later on the same day. I'm really sorry that she had to go through such terrible tragedies. I hope she finds peace & healing. ❤
She reported he'd been killed by the dog, hid the body in the trunk, told investigators they weren't allowed to search the trunk, then claimed self defense... If you're going to claim self defense, at least leave the body where it happened...
Not only that, but during the reenactment she was completely emotionless. It was like she was telling the investigators how to bake a cake. Someone who'd been through that kind of trauma would not relive those events without any emotion whatsoever.
The way defense attorneys can keep a straight face when they make these outrageous defense claims is astonishing. I hope this poor man is resting in peace.
This is very obviously classic domestic abuse, she's right about that. Because SHE was the perpetrator. She cut off access to his only support system, initiated financial abuse, belittled him, pursued outside relationships and starved him. God bless his daughter, and him too.
“Dani is a nice person…”. Ummm, noooo. She flirted with a married man, cut her step daughter off from her husband, and then killed him. I don’t think she was nice.
Killers always say they don't remember shooting their victim. I guess they conveniently go blank at that moment. This Psycho went and reloaded and walked back to a dying man and conveniently forgot when she shot him 5 more times. Wow.
Danielle is as cold as ice, utterly emotionless. I dont believe for one minute that she killed Ray in self-defence but I DO believe she's exactly where she deserves to be. Murderous monster.
Defense attorney on why she tore out the bloody carpet and locked it, with Ray's body, in the tool chest: "She believed that he could come back and get her., even after he was obviously dead." Yeah, that's a good defense, Mr. Attorney. 🙄
Ma’am! You hit the nail on the head honestly! And she’s never actually seen it happen. Just "signs"… women like Dani make it hard for actual Vic times who suffer domestic abuse.
I agree with you and for the lady hiding her identity to say "he deserved what he got" is ridiculous for her to say that. Just because she wore long sleeves doesn't mean she had bruises or because she wore slings anybody can wear a sling. She could ha e given herself black eyes or one of the horses. Some people like her should just keep their mouths shut tight if they have know nothing about what is going on in someone's life
@@vanessascott4351 The "he deserved what he got" statement, made me angry, because I think he was the victim here all along and seemed to be controlled and manipulated on a regular basis. And then for the anonymous woman to claim this and then not even willing to tell her real name in public make me doubt her. Who is she scared of; Ray? Well, he is murdered. If you do not want your face on tv, oké, I get that, would not like that either, but not even willing to state a first name, yet making one up? No. I can't say for 100% Ray was néver ever abusive, I was never around, but all the signs by info given in the doc show Ray as at least an okay guy that let his wife play boss over him and he went along with it. It makes it more realistic that he never physically abused her. If she indeed had injuries, that could've come from being thrown off a horse. All in all, before this becomes a book, I agree with your assessments.
Disgusting people defend her. She’s clearly a murderer. Poor Ray, he seemed like a lovely and loving person. My condolences to his family for his passing ❤
Yup narcissist work hard keeping up their image, then let loose in private. They’re trapped in their web of lies and I pity them because the spider and it’s victims fall when the web falls
She sounds like a malignant narcissist. Everything's a big fake front, and a manipulation. Her coming out to see the mail carrier with supposedly black eye? Sounds like an Amber Heard to me, all designed ahead of time to prop up her story for the future.
The attorney, side chick and mail woman are diluted to still think she’s an angel even after the trial and all the details that were revealed. She’s a great manipulator!
@@frandyson6133 My point entirely ,she is only a small woman how did she drag a dead weight into the box ? she must off had help yet no one has mentioned it ??? the box was quite a distance from their trailer //really mental too leave a box with a dead body with flies buzzing around it and too say you can search everywhere but the box ??? a thought could she have made some type of harness to a horse and dragged the body into the box ?? could be done possibly ??
@@racheldoesacrylic4089 haven't gotten to that part of the video yet but given the equipment they would likely have on their property...there are definitely ways to do it without another person.
She left the room and came back to shoot him 5 more times instead of running away and calling cops? Doesn't sound like she was afraid to go back in there
She is the exact reason so many victims and survivors of abuse aren't believed. I really wish there were harsher punishments for people falsely accusing others of abuse and rape. It's just so difficult to prove when it's a he said she said situation.
She'd helped spend his money and was about to come into some property and a new relationship and there was no place or need for him anymore. I dont believe he abused her at all. She's exactly where she needs to be.
That shows what a horrible person she is. No animal lover would put that offense on their “beloved” pet!!!! I would rather die than let my pet go down for shooting my ex-husband 10 times and stuffing him in a metal box… jezzzzzz Louise lady. Nice try.
Shot 10 times, stuffed in a box, blamed on a dog, and no 911 call? The jury got it right. Even if he had abused her she took law into her own hands, becoming judge, jury & executioner. The system worked this time.
The system got it wrong. It's always when people are so sure of one thing that they got it all wrong... Those things you mention are actually very accurate with a victim of trauma. So... did the system got it wright? Is it that simple? She basically pointed the finger to herself, altough innicially not saying it so. If you had police in your home to search for a corpse, would you point out to were the corpse is and say: Don't search there? Then police as to return with a document to search there and the body is still there? There was no efford to remove it? Like if it was DENIAL IT had happen. As if it was preferible to believe it was an accident with a.. dog? No one would believe this. This wan't calculated. This happen as an accident. The body put aside as if to deny reality... a reality that was not wished for. Body put in a improvised spot the first the eyes seen as viable. OMG! All this signs... and much more. The system failed again.
Nothing says self defence like gold digging a man for a 1 million dollar sum, then putting him in a trailer when you have all his money, getting him to send you his entire pay check. Then putting 5 bullets through his head. That really does not add up.
My heart really goes out to his daughter and grandchildren. That gold-digging narcissist robbed them of so much more than money. I hope he and his first wife are dancing together in paradise.
Something tells me she too killed off the dog and disposed of it to try and push her "dog killed him" lie. Only when his body was found with multiple gunshot wounds, she changed her story yet again. He then happend to be an abusing husband? So let's just completely forget about the dog now, Dani?
Could Danny be anymore dumb, to say that they can search anywhere except that tool box. 😏🤔 It's like putting a big sign on it reading "look here ". I am glad she did though. Funny how she remembered everything except for pulling the trigger and hearing the shots fired. How freakin convenient 🙄 😒
That poor dog looked terrified in that picture with that disgusting monster. I can only hope Ray and his wife are resting in paradise together. My deepest condolences to their loved ones😔
The other sick disturbing person in this story was the anonymous mail carrier who said he deserved being shot five times in the head and five times in the torso then stuffed in a metal trunk outside because she suspected he hit her. Nobody deserves to be murdered in that way. If you work with 12-1500 lb horses every day 6 to 8 hrs a day you’re going to get banged up from time to time that’s just part of the job. Dani was also a sick monster for trying to eliminate Ray’s daughter and grandchildren out of his life. But I guess according to Dani and the sick mail carrier he still deserved to die. It’s women like this who make it harder for women who truly are being abused and actually have to do what they have to to defend themselves. Then she calls her murdered ex-husband’s mother and tells her her son is dead and that their dog killed him. What a sicko!!
If she was so concerned, why didn't she report the "abuse" to the police? Imagine a woman that spends everyday training horses that has bruises...uhhhhh, pretty common I would think.
She's another "do gooder" making assumptions that aren't substantiated. "She said the horses did it but I knew better" sure you did Karen because when you aren't delivering mail you're a psychic.
I can almost guarantee if you look into the mail carrier it turns out her and Danny are long time buds that would go out drinking, and that Danny has smeared his name in the mud to turn the mail carrier against him in case anything like this ever happened. That's the way these kind of creeps operate
@davidzook8569 it's the same kind of mentality as people who walk up to a child murderer getting arrest and yell that they dindo nothing wrong even though they didn't see any of the events prior to the arrest.
@@racheldoesacrylic4089 I thought about that too. Maybe the postal carrier lady helped her, and also lied about seeing black eyes....and I'm sure she was paid for these services! So sad
The story she told changed multiple times and then it became self defense? Uhhh ok. What a gold diggin demon. I feel so bad for his daughter. May God ease her pain.
Its telling when she would come out wearing rays former wifes boots, hays, jewlery etc. She had a plan from the get go and she followed through. Straight sociopath. The poor daughter though. Both of her parents taken from her in the most horrifying ways. May she find peace and healing .
It’s interesting that there was never any evidence of Ray abusing his 1st wife. Being a survivor of abuse, it starts early after people move into together, and the SO has total control over the victim. They usually don’t start suddenly, after you’ve reached your 60’s. In addition, there is no evidence that he was so controlling in other traits of an abuser, like isolation, allowing participation with her desired activities, etc. She is not only disrespectful to true victims of abuse, she is also causing doubt in people as to whether real victims are believed 🤬🤬🤬.
I believe she is a true victim of abuse. Your line of tough as holes on it. He did not isolate her? Based on what do you clame it? Have you seen anyone here speaking for her? A close friend? A family member? Did this investigation not even bodered to go and check HER SIDE of the story?? Not having evidence of first wife abuse does not mean anything. There are many cases of people living their all lives together with constant abused being kept out of knowledge of everyone. Specially if they live in an isolated house without neighbors around. Have you noticed - as a surviver of abuse - how her deminure and appearance CHANGED before and after? How she seems drainned of her sould? As a survivor yourself (I don't know the degree) can't you spot in there a red flag? Her all behavior, to me, fits the profile. Also, people always smile and joke and try to have fun when in parties or events. Abusers also like to keep a fasade of "good partners" they allow, as long as they go along, to a certain degree of activities. At the beginning at least. That re-enactment thing seems to me to be some sort of very rare occasional event. Did you noticed they only had THAT GROUP to speak about the couple? Were are the other people a couple should meet around their life time? Neighbors? None. OK. Store clearks? None? OK... Some club? Some close friend of the family? This investigation had to resort to just this people.... I guess because not many others were available. People that knew the couple not very closely, just in that context. A context that is only available because Danielle liked to do that activity. So... was she the one isolating him or was it the other way around? Were are his activities? One of this people even said Danielle WAS NOT materialistic. Then they cut to the daughter - who to me seemed to jump to the conclusion IT WAS NOT HER FATHER that cut her off (maybe fearing she would want a peace of that million) but the "evil" step mom. By the way... he lost no time finding himself a replacement. And aimed to a younfer one. This is so commom in predadors that I... really... so many signs she can easily be a VICTIM... Well.... that's how I see it.
Man that postal worker is bitter. When asked if justice was served she said, “For Ray getting killed? Yes”. All for refusing to sign a package??? What’s wrong with that lady?
This woman's behavior barely makes sense. From calling the guy's mother to tell him the dog killed him, to telling the cops they couldn't look in the box... I mean, WTF?
She killed her husband and slandered his name. She tried to blame the dog and probably killed that poor baby. I know they said her parents were terminal, but I have to wonder if she did something to pass them along faster.
I was wondering the same thing. She probably saw the situation as another meal ticket and more people she could extort for money. She’s a cold-hearted psychopath. She probably killed the poor dog too.
Anyone who’s ever been around horses knows that they’re not always friendly. Knowing they trained horses for a living and rode a lot, it’s guaranteed that they encountered some not so desirable horses. I say this because anyone who does this work is going to constantly have injuries, the mail lady assuming abuse is ridiculous.
@@stuntedgrowthmusic Or the mail lady just had it in for the husband. She didn't like him for some reason so decided to continue to drag his name through the mud after he's dead.
She is a cold, calculating and bloody murderer, she makes me sick (and also that hidden "witness", who was not really a witness to anything and thinks she is a judge). I'm very sorry for his daughter, and to think about what this man suffered is heartbreaking.
Unless this man had a documented history of abusing women, I do not believe her. I think she killed him in cold blood, had spent his money, used him up and was not prepared to share her inheritance with him. She was so focused on his money that she isolated him from his daughter and grandkids. I don’t believe this was self defense. By the end she hated him so much, that’s why not 2 or 3 bullets. She reloaded and emptied the gun a second time. That is cold blooded. The only person in rays whole lifetime they could find to say there was abuse was not a woman he was involved with, it is a mail carrier and the wife’s boyfriend? Does not pass the sniff test. And telling his mother the dog killed him, that’s cruel and sick. She strikes me as a narcissist sociopath…he Ray, was in her way.
You summed that up perfectly. If she was being abused there is no way he would have let her leave to take care of her parents. He would want complete control over her in case she said something. She didn't wa t to share her inheritance.
I'm not saying that it applies to this case but abuse can start at any point...most first time abusers didn't abuse other people before they struck someone.
@@praxym9293 true.. My ex didn't abuse his ex but punched, choked, kicked, spit in my face and much more. He was a "cowboy" too and I realized watching his friends and family that most men in that group were that way. Doesn't mean this guy was but it is def. a thing that you can become an abuser at any time.
When someone is lying about how something went down, they keep saying “and I remember” and “I remember”. They can’t seem to just tell it like it “happened”. She is completely guilty of doing whatever it took to make her dream happen, no matter who gets hurt. Cutting Ray off from her family was a huge red flag. She found him rich and at his most vulnerable time and set her black widow plan in motion.
The way she tells the story of his abuse is so matter of fact and doesn’t sound at all like someone who has severe trauma or was in fear for their life. Also what an idiot. “Don’t look in the box”.
Maggie and those poor horses, such an absolutely terrifying way to die. I feel awful for Ray and their daughter. ALSO! Dani knew what she was doing from the moment she passed…. She saw a vulnerable, heart broken, and easily malleable man from the beginning….
The fact that “carol” never saw bruises and the wife never told her about being physically abused and for “carol” to say “he got what he deserved”?? That tells me she’s a liar and no one should ever believe a word out of her mouth
If it came out that she was her secret lover I would not be shocked. Insane she could call him an abuser when all she does is deliver mail once a day and never saw bruises.
She was a top shooter and it didn't occur to her to shoot him in the knee to disable him so she could run to her vehicle? I would look into that mail carrier. I bet they'd find some abuse in her background which would explain why she sided so strongly with Dani. Why is she allowed to condemn Ray on tv with no evidence. I'd look into suing her.
"You can search anywhere, except the freezer in the basement!.." LOL This is priceless!.. And that woman who saw bruises didn't testify and let her friend to be convinced. What a great friend!
The defense attorney has the same vibe of preparing his "take" on what happened, as I did when I broke a ceiling lamp with a broomstick after horsing around at 10 yo, and I was trying to prepare a plausible excuse for my mom when she came home later.
She is so unbelievable... my dog and I are insulted that she made up such a stupid excuse... I'm always amazed that people like her would rather lie... than just leave... OMD, (Oh My DOG) she shot him 5 times and still feels the need to reload...as for the other guy... she is looking for a new meal ticket... 😍 and had they hooked up, she would have been tearing thru his money, then looking for a way out... sounds like she had the new guy in her sites...
That poor man. He probably believed this woman was like his first sweet wife but his loneliness blinded him to who she really was. She was a bottomless pit, consuming, taking and leaving nothing behind. Her lawyer seems as much a liar as she is so thankful justice was served and her appeal denied.
I’m sorry, if I couldn’t get ahold of my dad after he married any women but especially a women a lot younger then him I would be at that door no matter how far away it was.
He was killed at the same date, years later, his first wife died. This it NOT a coincidence. He was still grieving, and he probably mentioned her and his new wife snapped. She could not believe, that he still thinks about his first wife. He probably bragged about it (living the misery he has with her) and her ego could not take it anymore. Then she came with the "he tried to assault me" story. I do believe that she felt assaulted by his feelings to his late wife. It is enough for a cruel person to do horrible things.

She sounds like a malignant narcissist. Everything's a big fake front, and a manipulation. Her coming out to see the mail carrier with supposedly black eye? Sounds like an Amber Heard to me, all designed ahead of time to prop up her story for the future.
@@o̸ණTEN times at that¡🐂💩
The attorney, side chick and mail woman are diluted to still think she’s an angel even after the trial and all the details that were revealed.
She’s a great manipulator!
That defense lawyer and mail lady are something else. Smh
Man that’s so heartbreaking to lose your wife to a freak accident like that bridge collapsing.
I remember when that happened
If she had nothing to hide why would she drag him out of the house and stuff him in a box and not dial 911?
sHe wAs tRaUmAtiZeD!!!1
@Elaine
She's must have help from someone to carry a dead body into the box
@@frandyson6133 My point entirely ,she is only a small woman how did she drag a dead weight into the box ? she must off had help yet no one has mentioned it ??? the box was quite a distance from their trailer //really mental too leave a box with a dead body with flies buzzing around it and too say you can search everywhere but the box ??? a thought could she have made some type of harness to a horse and dragged the body into the box ?? could be done possibly ??
@@racheldoesacrylic4089 haven't gotten to that part of the video yet but given the equipment they would likely have on their property...there are definitely ways to do it without another person.
@@frandyson6133 or she used farm equipment to help maneuver him/the box.
She left the room and came back to shoot him 5 more times instead of running away and calling cops? Doesn't sound like she was afraid to go back in there
I laughed at her repeating, 'I was in fear for my life' multiple times. Rehearsed.
💯 what I said too
You would shoot and then run for your life surely
So sad that this man lost his loving wife and soulmate only to be preyed upon by such a low, devious, gold-digging woman
The fact that the mail carrier doesn’t want to show her face says it all.
She is the exact reason so many victims and survivors of abuse aren't believed. I really wish there were harsher punishments for people falsely accusing others of abuse and rape. It's just so difficult to prove when it's a he said she said situation.
Exactly!!!!
She'd helped spend his money and was about to come into some property and a new relationship and there was no place or need for him anymore. I dont believe he abused her at all. She's exactly where she needs to be.
She tried to blame the poor dog and killed it. She's a psychopath!!
Absolutely I think so too!
That shows what a horrible person she is. No animal lover would put that offense on their “beloved” pet!!!! I would rather die than let my pet go down for shooting my ex-husband 10 times and stuffing him in a metal box… jezzzzzz Louise lady. Nice try.
Shot 10 times, stuffed in a box, blamed on a dog, and no 911 call? The jury got it right. Even if he had abused her she took law into her own hands, becoming judge, jury & executioner. The system worked this time.
That 🐕 didn't deserve to have his reputation smeared like that
@@o̸ණsure didn’t, poor dog was probably killed also
The system got it wrong.
It's always when people are so sure of one thing that they got it all wrong...
Those things you mention are actually very accurate with a victim of trauma.
So... did the system got it wright?
Is it that simple?
She basically pointed the finger to herself, altough innicially not saying it so. If you had police in your home to search for a corpse, would you point out to were the corpse is and say: Don't search there?
Then police as to return with a document to search there and the body is still there? There was no efford to remove it? Like if it was DENIAL IT had happen. As if it was preferible to believe it was an accident with a.. dog? No one would believe this. This wan't calculated. This happen as an accident. The body put aside as if to deny reality... a reality that was not wished for. Body put in a improvised spot the first the eyes seen as viable.
OMG!
All this signs... and much more. The system failed again.
@@sitcomsTV please seek help.
@@jimbrown9817Right?! And don’t ever move to my area: Remote, cold and apparently a handy place to dispose of “waste products.”
That mail carrier is a monster too
You can just tell how manipulative she is. She doesn’t remember pulling the trigger but she remembers every other little detail of the incident
Nothing says self defence like gold digging a man for a 1 million dollar sum, then putting him in a trailer when you have all his money, getting him to send you his entire pay check. Then putting 5 bullets through his head. That really does not add up.
And five in his torso !!!
Maybe he should've left her.
Guaranteed she was always tallying up the worth of that ranch she was haunting every day, trying to get him to give it to her
Not to mention take his cellphone
Prayers for the daughter and the dog as I'm sure she killed a beautiful dog as well.
Her attorney is so ridiculous lmao
He is a PAID ADVOCATE
This woman didn't work and used her new husband's money to play with horses. Horses are a money pit.
That poor dog!! WTH did she do with him. Just an innocent in all of this.
Also, the trauma she had was not from Ray. She’s a very sick person.
My heart really goes out to his daughter and grandchildren. That gold-digging narcissist robbed them of so much more than money. I hope he and his first wife are dancing together in paradise.
And hope Dani has many lovers in jail.
Something tells me she too killed off the dog and disposed of it to try and push her "dog killed him" lie. Only when his body was found with multiple gunshot wounds, she changed her story yet again. He then happend to be an abusing husband? So let's just completely forget about the dog now, Dani?
Guess she figured it would be hard to prove the dog fired the gun.
Ya she definitely got rid of the witness. For sure the dog would have testified what really happened
Could Danny be anymore dumb, to say that they can search anywhere except that tool box. 😏🤔 It's like putting a big sign on it reading "look here ". I am glad she did though.
Funny how she remembered everything except for pulling the trigger and hearing the shots fired. How freakin convenient 🙄 😒
This is a girl that never heard the word No. Not ever even once.
I'm surprised she didn't bury the tool box.
How dare she blane an innocent animal!!! That was a beautiful dog!!!
That poor dog looked terrified in that picture with that disgusting monster. I can only hope Ray and his wife are resting in paradise together. My deepest condolences to their loved ones😔
I feel like his dog probably died trying to defend him.
That's a great thought! 👍🏼
Yes
Probably was his dog and the dog knew she was nuts! German shepherds are very loyal to the end! Rip to both souls lost. 😢
The other sick disturbing person in this story was the anonymous mail carrier who said he deserved being shot five times in the head and five times in the torso then stuffed in a metal trunk outside because she suspected he hit her. Nobody deserves to be murdered in that way. If you work with 12-1500 lb horses every day 6 to 8 hrs a day you’re going to get banged up from time to time that’s just part of the job. Dani was also a sick monster for trying to eliminate Ray’s daughter and grandchildren out of his life. But I guess according to Dani and the sick mail carrier he still deserved to die. It’s women like this who make it harder for women who truly are being abused and actually have to do what they have to to defend themselves. Then she calls her murdered ex-husband’s mother and tells her her son is dead and that their dog killed him. What a sicko!!
Amen!
If she was so concerned, why didn't she report the "abuse" to the police? Imagine a woman that spends everyday training horses that has bruises...uhhhhh, pretty common I would think.
She's another "do gooder" making assumptions that aren't substantiated. "She said the horses did it but I knew better" sure you did Karen because when you aren't delivering mail you're a psychic.
I can almost guarantee if you look into the mail carrier it turns out her and Danny are long time buds that would go out drinking, and that Danny has smeared his name in the mud to turn the mail carrier against him in case anything like this ever happened. That's the way these kind of creeps operate
@davidzook8569 it's the same kind of mentality as people who walk up to a child murderer getting arrest and yell that they dindo nothing wrong even though they didn't see any of the events prior to the arrest.
She’s a nasty woman, she wasn’t defending herself at all. Blocking Rays family, money hungry, narcissistic woman!
Yeah - just horrible! Widowers beware of falling for someone like her......
I don't believe her friend that delivered the mail either.
@Jeanie Ferris Yeah ..I didn't believe her either.
Not one tear from her ,narcissistic yeah /how did she get him in to the box?? no one has said ?
@@racheldoesacrylic4089 I thought about that too. Maybe the postal carrier lady helped her, and also lied about seeing black eyes....and I'm sure she was paid for these services! So sad
I knew both of them, and I never saw Dani with any injuries. Ray was the nicest guy I've ever met in my life.
The story she told changed multiple times and then it became self defense? Uhhh ok. What a gold diggin demon. I feel so bad for his daughter. May God ease her pain.
Its telling when she would come out wearing rays former wifes boots, hays, jewlery etc. She had a plan from the get go and she followed through. Straight sociopath. The poor daughter though. Both of her parents taken from her in the most horrifying ways. May she find peace and healing .
It’s interesting that there was never any evidence of Ray abusing his 1st wife. Being a survivor of abuse, it starts early after people move into together, and the SO has total control over the victim. They usually don’t start suddenly, after you’ve reached your 60’s. In addition, there is no evidence that he was so controlling in other traits of an abuser, like isolation, allowing participation with her desired activities, etc. She is not only disrespectful to true victims of abuse, she is also causing doubt in people as to whether real victims are believed 🤬🤬🤬.
Exactly. And she was the one isolating him.
By keeping him from talking or having a relationship with his daughter tells that she was the abuser!!! She is a thief, a liar and a murderer!
So true.
Plus she was the one isolating him and blocking his daughter
I believe she is a true victim of abuse. Your line of tough as holes on it. He did not isolate her? Based on what do you clame it? Have you seen anyone here speaking for her? A close friend? A family member? Did this investigation not even bodered to go and check HER SIDE of the story??
Not having evidence of first wife abuse does not mean anything. There are many cases of people living their all lives together with constant abused being kept out of knowledge of everyone. Specially if they live in an isolated house without neighbors around.
Have you noticed - as a surviver of abuse - how her deminure and appearance CHANGED before and after? How she seems drainned of her sould? As a survivor yourself (I don't know the degree) can't you spot in there a red flag? Her all behavior, to me, fits the profile.
Also, people always smile and joke and try to have fun when in parties or events. Abusers also like to keep a fasade of "good partners" they allow, as long as they go along, to a certain degree of activities. At the beginning at least. That re-enactment thing seems to me to be some sort of very rare occasional event. Did you noticed they only had THAT GROUP to speak about the couple? Were are the other people a couple should meet around their life time? Neighbors? None. OK. Store clearks? None? OK... Some club? Some close friend of the family?
This investigation had to resort to just this people.... I guess because not many others were available. People that knew the couple not very closely, just in that context. A context that is only available because Danielle liked to do that activity. So... was she the one isolating him or was it the other way around? Were are his activities?
One of this people even said Danielle WAS NOT materialistic. Then they cut to the daughter - who to me seemed to jump to the conclusion IT WAS NOT HER FATHER that cut her off (maybe fearing she would want a peace of that million) but the "evil" step mom. By the way... he lost no time finding himself a replacement. And aimed to a younfer one. This is so commom in predadors that I... really... so many signs she can easily be a VICTIM...
Well.... that's how I see it.
great points
10 times! She shot him 10 freaking times! That's not self defense, that's anger, she made sure she killed him.
She shot him like she does her cowboy roll playing shooting
Shot him in his sleep😢
She was used to shoot multiple times...
@@furball192 no excuse..still not self defense.
With a revolver. So, she shot him 6 times, paused, re-loaded, then shot him 4 more times.
Man that postal worker is bitter. When asked if justice was served she said, “For Ray getting killed? Yes”. All for refusing to sign a package??? What’s wrong with that lady?
This woman's behavior barely makes sense. From calling the guy's mother to tell him the dog killed him, to telling the cops they couldn't look in the box... I mean, WTF?
She killed her husband and slandered his name. She tried to blame the dog and probably killed that poor baby. I know they said her parents were terminal, but I have to wonder if she did something to pass them along faster.
I was wondering the same thing. She probably saw the situation as another meal ticket and more people she could extort for money. She’s a cold-hearted psychopath. She probably killed the poor dog too.
@@AshCupric Yeah, I agree.
You just might be right
OMG! You demonize this woman. Have you given it a tough of change that she may be the victim?
@@sitcomsTV I did consider that possibility, and I don't believe that she's the victim.
What kind of person sends a text message to an elderly lady telling her that her son was killed the day before by a dog?
yep
It’s so ridiculous it would be funny if it wasn’t actually a real story
It's telling she didn't tell the lady right away, she sat and thought about it and still came up with a stupid lie
Anyone who’s ever been around horses knows that they’re not always friendly. Knowing they trained horses for a living and rode a lot, it’s guaranteed that they encountered some not so desirable horses. I say this because anyone who does this work is going to constantly have injuries, the mail lady assuming abuse is ridiculous.
I think her and Dani had something going on. That or Dani had been planning this and setting up her defense for some time.
Gladys Kravitz
@@stuntedgrowthmusic Or the mail lady just had it in for the husband. She didn't like him for some reason so decided to continue to drag his name through the mud after he's dead.
@@Wft-bu5zcexactly. She is really vindictive
She is a cold, calculating and bloody murderer, she makes me sick (and also that hidden "witness", who was not really a witness to anything and thinks she is a judge). I'm very sorry for his daughter, and to think about what this man suffered is heartbreaking.
Thank you 48hours for putting this full episode on
My heart breaks for the poor puppy. German Shepherds are extremely loyal. How dare she!!
Yes they are. I love German Shepard's. So loyal and loving ❤️. All dogs 🐕 are wonderful to me. What a horrible woman she is.
@@reba998 She deserves prison.
And that dog doesn’t look aggressive AT ALL. Really sweet lil face 🥺😢😭
Unless this man had a documented history of abusing women, I do not believe her. I think she killed him in cold blood, had spent his money, used him up and was not prepared to share her inheritance with him. She was so focused on his money that she isolated him from his daughter and grandkids. I don’t believe this was self defense. By the end she hated him so much, that’s why not 2 or 3 bullets. She reloaded and emptied the gun a second time. That is cold blooded. The only person in rays whole lifetime they could find to say there was abuse was not a woman he was involved with, it is a mail carrier and the wife’s boyfriend? Does not pass the sniff test. And telling his mother the dog killed him, that’s cruel and sick. She strikes me as a narcissist sociopath…he Ray, was in her way.
You summed that up perfectly. If she was being abused there is no way he would have let her leave to take care of her parents. He would want complete control over her in case she said something. She didn't wa t to share her inheritance.
I'm not saying that it applies to this case but abuse can start at any point...most first time abusers didn't abuse other people before they struck someone.
@@praxym9293 true.. My ex didn't abuse his ex but punched, choked, kicked, spit in my face and much more. He was a "cowboy" too and I realized watching his friends and family that most men in that group were that way. Doesn't mean this guy was but it is def. a thing that you can become an abuser at any time.
Bingo 😊
Bro, this woman was already divorced from him. All she had to tell him was to leave her property. Or actually call the cops.
Well yea she wanted him dead... That's what evil people do
Crazy huh?
Probably insurance money
So glad that Ray's adult daughter and grandkids got to see him!!!! Thank goodness for the kind man for paying for that!!!
When someone is lying about how something went down, they keep saying “and I remember” and “I remember”. They can’t seem to just tell it like it “happened”. She is completely guilty of doing whatever it took to make her dream happen, no matter who gets hurt. Cutting Ray off from her family was a huge red flag. She found him rich and at his most vulnerable time and set her black widow plan in motion.
I just can’t stop- lol
Her lawyer is HILARIOUSLY DELUSIONAL.
So true!
TRUTH!!!
Right off the bat my blood is boiling. How dare she blame that sweet dog? 😢
The way she tells the story of his abuse is so matter of fact and doesn’t sound at all like someone who has severe trauma or was in fear for their life. Also what an idiot. “Don’t look in the box”.
Maggie and those poor horses, such an absolutely terrifying way to die. I feel awful for Ray and their daughter. ALSO! Dani knew what she was doing from the moment she passed…. She saw a vulnerable, heart broken, and easily malleable man from the beginning….
It's sickening that after someone takes your life, they are more than willing to take your dignity just to defend themselves
The fact that “carol” never saw bruises and the wife never told her about being physically abused and for “carol” to say “he got what he deserved”?? That tells me she’s a liar and no one should ever believe a word out of her mouth
Completely agree.
I think you're right.
@@kathleenbegley5730 i wouldn't pass it by her to make those bruises on herself and wear a sling just for the mail carrier
@@Monalisa0622 I agree. Amber Heard Sr.
If it came out that she was her secret lover I would not be shocked. Insane she could call him an abuser when all she does is deliver mail once a day and never saw bruises.
Prayers for his daughter 🙏 And that woman killed her poor husband because he was broke. Then she lied about him.
She was a top shooter and it didn't occur to her to shoot him in the knee to disable him so she could run to her vehicle? I would look into that mail carrier. I bet they'd find some abuse in her background which would explain why she sided so strongly with Dani. Why is she allowed to condemn Ray on tv with no evidence. I'd look into suing her.
You can search anywhere except that box 🤣🤣🤣

At least this story finally brings vindication to poor Fiddo, who had long been thought to be eating all of Dani's homework.
Lol fiddo😅
Her attorney was really having trouble pretending to believe her BS story.
The defense attorney has the same vibe of preparing his "take" on what happened, as I did when I broke a ceiling lamp with a broomstick after horsing around at 10 yo, and I was trying to prepare a plausible excuse for my mom when she came home later.
"It fell." 😂
@@ponygirlusa 😃
She came after him for the money....Rest in gentle peace 🕊️,Ray....🙏🏾
Her lawyer is obviously the worst liar on sweet planet earth.

In other words a typical Lawyer
“You can search everywhere but that box”….I automatically would want to search it even if I wasn’t suspicious of anything if she told me that 😂
A box with flies and dead flesh smell coming out of it LOL
Woman like Dani makes it hard for people to believe the real people who are actually abusive ,she is evil
She remembers everything BUT pulling the trigger
Exactly.
I am so sorry for his daughter, friends, and anyone who loved him. What a sad, cruel world this is.
Hiding the body was the nails in her coffin. A person might believe self defense if she had reported it immediately.
If that lady was so positive about the abuse how come she’s hiding her face!
It is so interesting that her attorney with a straight face can say it was self defense
She is so unbelievable... my dog and I are insulted that she made up such a stupid excuse... I'm always amazed that people like her would rather lie... than just leave... OMD, (Oh My DOG) she shot him 5 times and still feels the need to reload...as for the other guy... she is looking for a new meal ticket... 😍 and had they hooked up, she would have been tearing thru his money, then looking for a way out... sounds like she had the new guy in her sites...
That poor man. He probably believed this woman was like his first sweet wife but his loneliness blinded him to who she really was. She was a bottomless pit, consuming, taking and leaving nothing behind. Her lawyer seems as much a liar as she is so thankful justice was served and her appeal denied.
A defense attorney is required by law to give his best defense 😊
The fact that she first blamed and then got rid of her own dog tells me everything I need to know about her. Guilty.
She shoots him five times, reloads the gun and still is in fear for her life???
I’m sorry, if I couldn’t get ahold of my dad after he married any women but especially a women a lot younger then him I would be at that door no matter how far away it was.
She may not had have the funds to travel
Exactly. 😢
Me too
She surely killed her own dog either … unbelievable.. sick people
He was killed at the same date, years later, his first wife died. This it NOT a coincidence. He was still grieving, and he probably mentioned her and his new wife snapped. She could not believe, that he still thinks about his first wife. He probably bragged about it (living the misery he has with her) and her ego could not take it anymore. Then she came with the "he tried to assault me" story. I do believe that she felt assaulted by his feelings to his late wife. It is enough for a cruel person to do horrible things.
Nice theory
THIS
Any rational person hearing this story can only come to the conclusion that She is guilty. COLD! Rest in peace Ray!
