He never talks about wanting to find her killer. Because he is the killer.
Good point!!
Yikes!
Yeah....even OJ said he would......that line is taken......
Maybe because he was busy helping O.J. and other creeps like them look for who killed wives before precious April. Hope my sarcasm is shining through.
@@lorishu48103 ,
There absolutely was a loud angry man on the beach that night, and his name is Justin Barber. What a bastard.
ABSOLUTELY!
2 foooooking right!
I want to slap his face🤬 . not gonna lie though, when I first read your comment I thought you wrote Justin Bieber and I was like😱
@Lee Rosales I saw this on Forensic Files & the husband was proven guilty & turns out he shot himself 4 times. The good news is he did not get away with it
Yes yes calla 1971
He’s not even remotely convincing.
Like,not at all!
Agreed, even seems so smug... evil s.o.b!
Male golddigger!
I’m not convinced by his story
@@alyssa-jadelynnebutlin7778 he lied about the whole thing. He killed his wife & shot himself not fatally 4 times. He was found guilty & he did not get away with it & if I remember correctly he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole
The saddest part is that April and her siblings were orphans, and then they had to suffer her loss, too. She took out that massive life insurance policy thinking of THEM. She took it out in case something happened to her, so her younger siblings would be taken care of, and he knew that. She had become sort of a mother figure for them after losing their parents, and she felt secure knowing that money would be there for them if she were to die. She never thought her loser husband would murder her so he could get that money. The fact that after she died, he tried to keep the money instead of using it for it’s intended purpose as April had wished, says everything we need to know about him.
God that is so sad 😫😭
Did he get the insurance money or did he just attempt to get it ? I am always curious about where the insurance money goes in a case like this
@@laikaevelyn4478 Her siblings got the insurance money.
@@catrinahaney392 So nice to know that atleast.
@@laikaevelyn4478 fyi it goes to who you list as the first beneficiary, and if that doesn't work, it goes to the second beneficiary.
He never once said, “Let’s find this guy! He murdered my wife. He’s going to pay.” No... he never said it.
You nailed it
Or girl because mistresses do stuf
Yea and when he said " he had no distinguishing features" yea because he didnt exist!
You’re correct. Anyone would be angry at the person who took her life. You’d want him found. He never states that.
@@juliemacdonald4800 BBC
the fact that his gun was "stolen" two months prior to the murder shows how long he had been planning this for.
Searching gun shot wounds you can survive was 6 mos prior to her death. Gotta say with 6 mos to plan it he really sucked at it! What about the lack of his blood on her after dragging her and repositioning her 9 times? He just did a terrible job because he sure made the cops job easy 🤷🏼♀️
Do you know which caliber was used in the shooting?
For real.... drove so far from the beach... he can explain that ....I lie about having other women's.....the stolen gun ... computer investigation ( super incriminating evidence)....
Yeh, I think he planned it early on. Wonder when the insurance policy was written!! (The gun didn't have to be missing for any length of time since he made up the whole thing. Real answer: "gun went missing a few hours ago.";) ;)
@@hollyharris1874 I think you missed the point of the length it had been missing.
"Wanted a new life" ..... So happy to hear he got one but not the one he wanted.
👏👏👏
Maybe he can meet a hot Brazilian in prison...
@@breezy3725 yeah a Brazilian named Bubba,
ha love it Ruby
Yeah, he got a new life alright. He'll be tossing Big Bubba's salad in prison.
Yea, he’d recognize the guy’s face...every time he looks in the mirror!
Omg l.olz
😄
I remember when this happened and it was obvious he was lying, none of it made sense and take note of his whiny voice and blinking eyes along with how he tells the story. He planned and executed the murder of this pretty woman so he could continue his philandering ways and have 2 million dollars to enjoy life and bail himself out of his gambling debts. He's where he belongs and may April rest in peace.
Yes. He reminds me of the liar Joel Osteen a lot.
@@wisdomseeker3362 He does!!
Well geez, thanks a lot for summarizing the entirety of this story in one paragraph 😐😐😐
Guess there’s no point in watching this now 🙄🙄🙄
@@wisdomseeker3362 that’s who he reminds me of!!
What makes it obvious?
I don't think his motive was sex. He'd been doing that all along and probably while dating. Money is the motive behind everything
Yep... divorce he has to pay....death he collects the big money. He was having enough sex it seems with others.
Exactly!
I wonder if April knew about the huge life insurance pay out (🚩2.1m❗) on her death??
Couldnt agree more
@@poppyfield1619 people shouldnt be able to get life insurance on anyone but yourself
His cry when describing the night April was killed was completely different than his cry for his grandparents.
He
He drove that far but there was no reason why he could not have hauled his wife into the car to take her as well.
I thought the same thing ?!? Why not take her with him... It makes zero sense...
@@leo_zero1879 I've never been shot but I would pretty much believe it would take a lot out of you and probably render you unable to pretty much anything. That being said, I would have either stayed with my dead spouse hoping someone would come along or spend all night dragging them to the car little by little, even if it took all night. I couldn't bare the thought of leaving my loved one alone, on a deserted beach or anywhere for any length of time. At any rate the evidence spoke for itself and he is guilty as hell
He did not want to dirty up his car.....
@@avalynheavenly1972 Your adrenaline is always activated.
@@avalynheavenly1972 I agree, but there was nothing about his condition that would’ve prevented him from getting his wife in the car, which cements his guilt in my mind, for failure to render aid.
Ya know what's completely missing? Anger. He doesn't show the tiniest bit of anger that some cretin murdered his wife right in front of him. Its all tears and whining, but not a hint at being angry over it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep he's not concerned, angry or begging to bring the murderer to justice because he knows HE IS the murderer. He's sad he got caught and wants to appear innocent BUT his acting is just damn terrible.
Crocodile tears
My creep meter is pegging just looking at him.
He worked so damn hard to squeeze out 1 tiny tear from his left eye during his interview it was exhausting to watch.
He just gives me the creeps.
Wreaks of disingenuousness.
Gut feeling without any facts...moment I saw him.
And then there is the "voice crying".... makes me squirm.
That part about him trying to squeeze out a tear made my night 🤣
Absolutely agree with you!
Exactly. He's a terrible actor and creepy af. She was wayyyy too good for him.
🤣🤣
Very strange how he closes his eyes, acts on the verge of tears, blinks his eyes. Creepy.
Fake tears and a total narcissist. He is only feeling sorry for himself. Creep!
He should NEVER EVER EVER be released
There’s a reason the spouse is always the 1st suspect
Dont have one !
So tragic. Why not just separate or divorce??
@@mtio2807 His wife was on a 2 million dollar life insurance.
Money or a new love interest.
Murderer: “You ever been kicked by a horse?”
Reporter:”Uh...no?”
That was a poor attempt to appear casual.....the reporter should have answered.....yeah, every day, I get kicked by a horse !!!!! and YOU ?
I don't believe Barber! He killed her for the life insurance! Poor woman. RIP sweet girl.
Yep, the life insurance. Also he was cheating on her left and right.
Bullshit. He's a young and fit man. A man who is loving and protective over his wife would do anything to protect her and most likely win the fight. This guy is guilty.
and mind you, the people who attacked in such a brutal manner had no motive.
Facts and the story is stupid what motive would a random stranger have to kill her and supposedly shoot him? This guy is a cold hearted killer period.
@@sharpedge3355 exactly!!!
He is beyond arrogant and believes he's so much smarter than everyone. His evil eyes say it all.
Okay, sounds like that I am wrong.
Nancy your good!
Classic psychopath
Your right. Nasty shifty eyes and cruel mouth..
His tears are only for himself cos he got caught
This one! He only cried when it had to do with him and his guilty verdict, not about his wife once.
He can’t repeat ONE word this man was yelling? Not one?
@Lee Rosales lol but dude, seriously! You can’t make up one word! Lol lol “gimme all your money!!!”… or “I hate blonde hair on women!!!”… anything! lol
Anyone would remember every word
'Would you remember his face if you saw it again?'
'Probably so.'
Lawyer holds up mirror.
I nearly just spewed my cola. =D
Fucken funny
🤣😂Good One
Thanks... I laughed so hard, I almost peed myself... had to run to the bathroom 🤣😂😅
Lol,good one.
He's not even crying. He's just squinting his eyes.
Mind
He did at one stage have a tear but left it under his eye instead of brushing away. Also "I didn't" is generally more truthful than "I did not" (which he says more than once)
@@pamela7462 ~ Yep, I've noticed that in many crime cases. (those words)
Fact!!
Squinting his eyes, and trying his hardest to push out water from them. “ This is what people w human emotions do, right?”
Dead giveaway
He’s answering the questions blinking his eyes! Body language! GUILTY!
Body language???Spells guilt,or innocence??Insane thinking!!!😖
@@loganturner3895 blinking is a real tell tale trait of lying.
@@TheGladeGirl Legal education,over three court cases,blinking,has nothing to do with,Guilt or innocence
@@loganturner3895 in my experience over 7 years with my bipolar daughter in law, who is a prolific liar - she blinks rapidly ever time she lies to me.
@@TheGladeGirl This is a legal matter,Not a model session!🌹
He is such a liar 🤥..... 🙏🏽 Thank God for this Justice. He BRUTALLY MURDERED April, then told lie after lie. I'm glad he was caught in all those lies.....
This guy is a terrible liar. It's so blatantly obvious he's being dishonest about everything.
I kept thinking the same thing. His eyes blinking, or closing his eyes. He sounds like he wants everyone to feel sorry for him, poor me. Like he is about to cry. Creepy.
Over an argument you killed her! How terrible and cruel. What a monster! Poor women life taken away from her from the man she married! Lock him up for life without parole! He doesn’t deserve to be free.
@Lee Rosales indeed!!
@Lee Rosales facts
This was pre-meditated
Another guy having an affair and kills his wife.
It's pitiful
Sounds more like he was trying to start a harem? 5 women in 3 years.
Having several affairs
Then why marry? oh i know for the $
This man is a compulsive liar... It's stressful to even watch him lying every second. These Narcissists are so toxic!!! Smh!! They actually believe that they are more intelligent than everyone else. So sad! 😭😭 May her soul RIP.
Why would a supposed mugger kill the wife first, that makes no sense at all. Nothing was taken and the hubby with only minor injuries. Must have been a really stupid mugger if that is his defense. Hubby is guilty.
He regrets being caught out!!!! That’s all!
He had affairs with 5 different women during their 3 year marriage. Why did he even bother getting married? I don't understand.
Narcissistic!!!!
to get the insurance of her death
I feel so bad for her I wish she had the chance to escape him and start a new life
5 affairs ?? even 1 is hurtful enough
Idiot
I think the right man is in prison. The five plus (as I bet there were more) other women are relieved they are alive. If not convicted I would not be surprised if he pulled a similar stunt again. Those other women were all prospects.
MONEY 💴
I could tell he was GUILTY just by the look on his face. He ONLY married her to get that 2 million dollars. Period. Why would he need 2 million bucks from his wife's death?! 🙄 It's as obvious as the summer day is long. That girl NEVER stood a chance with this creep.
Always the BF or husband... Horrible 🚨🔥👹
He had on the answers but his body is giving him away. Just not congruent.
That was my first thought. Why 2 millions? They don't even have kids.
He married her for money never loved her at all. She was his stock market moneys.
He shows no remorse….drinking coffee in court ?! Really !?
He is a liar.
He's trying so hard to be a good actor.
He's not even bad, if I said he was a bad actor that would be an insult to bad actors
Come on, his preformance is pathetic. I've been in emergency situations before where my loved one has heen in need of medical attention and I was able to do things physically that I couldn't normally do for extended periods of time. I didn't feel pain or exhaustion or thirst or hunger. He couldn't carry his wife to safety??? Liar, he didn't want to.
There is a picture of him easily carrying her
👍
and what a horrible voice he has😠
@@ascensionvaldes1412 Right? I'm not a violent person, but I wanted to rip his vocal cords out >,
This guy makes me disgustingly sick! POS absolutely evil!
April sounds like she was a wonderful person, love her poem.
I'm sure she was wonderful person, unfortunately opposites attract
He woke up the morning of the murder as " a young man with the world at his fingertips"! Sounds like he was excited to pull that trigger and looking forward to the insurance money.
Best comment
So did he marry her only to kill her? Why marry someone if you're going to have multiple sex affairs with different women? This guy is a horrible liar. So he got $2.1 million dollars and he can't pay back the money for the funeral? This is a nasty demon.
He didn’t get the 2.1 million, he tried to cash in on it but because he was the murder suspect from day 1, he couldn’t get it.
I highly doubt he has any of the money, Maybe the wake, Funeral.Once the police found out He was the killer, The money is with her family.Not one tear was shed while doing the interview. 5 affairs, in 3 years. He's going to hell. When he does. Evil Bastard...
Why would someone marry if they were going to have multiple sex affairs? Hang on...I will text my ex and ask him.😑
@@michaelafels4468 GOOD
It would be his second divorce, and he didn’t want to dishonor his family
I'm not a body language specialist, but his rapid eye blinking when he's talking about the events of that night is a clear indication of him telling lies.
Quite the performance! Give him an Academy Award! He didn't fool anyone! April married a nightmare! R.I.P. April..you didn't deserve what happened to you.
The husband's demeanor including his facial expressions and gestures look pretty phoney and damning to me. I am not even considering his story about the angry and loud mystery man.
It was dr jeckly's mister hide aka his alter ego
He's got more excuses than someone who has preplanned his wife's murder for her life insurance
LoL
He looks so arrogant.
Sarita Rodriguez : So very true.
Yeah he really does.
Right?
He looks ugly as f**k. And I hate his voice.
She was so pretty. What did she ever see in him.
12:10 he puts on a pitifully pathetic show.
Ikr.......I actually said out loud 'Oh please. Stop'.
Beautiful woman. So heartbreaking.His interview looks and sounds like bad acting.
Does it ever really bad acting.
he makes me sick
It's true
@Lee Rosales I do not know if the death penalty and in this state if this that case he should have
@@angelapietras1235 - Poor innocent animals. They did nothing wrong. They are innocent. Purely innocent. Over a burger et cetera. Five minute burger....

He drove so fast, he missed all of the hospitals, gas stations, police stations, open businesses, etc.etc.etc.
Thats when he was looking for a place to dispose of the gun
He drove so fast to where?
He is giving me Joel Osteen vibes…
His Google search history says it all. It correlates too well. And it’s so rare for a robbery to end in 50% murder lol.
Like all criminals, he makes up these ridiculous stories to cover his crime. He's guilty as heck. He drove a very long way to get rid of the gun.
He really didn't plan that one out very well. I can't imagine anyone buying his story.
He’s such a narcissist, control-freak that he still doesn’t want people to know or think that she was going to leave him.
It creeps me out that he shed not 1 tear
Okay no one buys a bulletproof vest an Impulse Buy
Isn’t that absurd??
he is guilty, but didnt nancy say he was right handed and had no wounds to the right side of his body then says later he had been shot in the right side of his chest?
Fact!! Under armor and ends up with a bullet proof vest.
@@mightyea No, but it just appeared in his home....
Omg are you serious. Does he really believe that anybody believes his act. He is delusional. He has such high regard for himself. Not sure why cos he reminds me of a weasel. How he had five affairs is beyond me as just his personality is creepfactor 10 !!
There’s nothing even remotely appealing about this dude! How did he find 3 willing women to have an affair with???
My thoughts exactly! 🤦♀️
Guess there are a lot of sad desperate women out there Meg taken in by him - including his wife RIP
The whispering and non crying is sending me.
So he searched gun shot wounds you can survive 6 mos prior to her death showing he had been planning it for awhile. You would think he would have done a better job of it. He made the cops job pretty easy!
That phony whispery voice is creepy.
talk about crocodile tears! He's guilty as charged!
2:15 "Would you recognize his face, if you saw it again?" Yes, I see it ever morning in the mirror.
🙌
He wanted the death penalty to remain in the spotlight…💯✌️❤️🌎
lol, what a bad actor this guy is - and the clouded memory, yeah we know about this, right?
.... Yes of course they suspected you you’re not even a good liar! He wants the death penalty for whoever killed his wife... let’s see if he begs for his life when he’s convicted!
This is an old case. Hes already serving life without parole.
@@ronclifford3336 Thanks! Glad he is in prison!
He didn’t have his wallet? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, he lies horribly! 😒 The male interviewer is like *yeah I'm not buying it.*
I have never seen a guiltier man 🤷♀️
Of course he did it! He couldn’t possibly be less believable! He’s a total narcissist!
Justin Barber's story to the police simply doesn't make any common sense. None of the forensic evidence in the case matches his narrative story. The evidence in the case proves he is lying and that his statements are all inconsistent with the facts of the case. The police and the medical examiner stated that all of the evidence at the scene of the murder and in the case does not match any of Justin's claims of what he did for her, and that his narrative of events actually could not have and did not occur. The medical examiner said due to her injuries and the direction of the blood splatters on her body, she was shot and killed exactly where she was found.
Justin's story is one crystal clear transparent lie after another crystal clear transparent lie. He appears to manufacture false emotions to try to appear being heartbroken. If Justin really loved his wife, he wouldn't be having affairs, at least 5 of them with other women, during his marriage to his wife. Then there is the 2.1 million USD life insurance policy to gain if she would be killed. He is only heartbroken that he got caught. He will spend his remaining time on earth where he belongs locked up because he is tragically, guilty.
I don’t think anyone will think Justin is particularly smart.
You must TEST...to get IQ...?Not assuming....😌
I've watched over the years a few diff shows about this. He is lieing, and a narcissist! Idc who was cheating on who, the don't deserve to be killed! I cannot even stand looking at him or hearing his fake b.s. tears, and voice🙄🤦♀️
Lying not lieing.

@@Twisted.Ginger sorry you took offense for me trying to help you out. I am not perfect nor is anyone. I figured I would help you spell out the word lying. Have a wonderful evening. ☺️
I'm still watching, but I also saw this story on Forensic Files. Another factoid- April had her cell phone in the car. He could have called for help on her cell phone.
😮
She was such a beautiful young woman. RIP April ✝️
Not to start anything, but what if she wasn't beautiful? Does it mean she would deserve to die? I'm always curious when people say things like that...
Bad judgment though!
@@TheRobilottasWhen you see someone pretty, you say that. Even if she s not death, they still say She s beautiful. You think too much
I'm Thoroughly Disgusted Watching This Moster Lying... Seriously..
Waaaa Waaaa Waaaaa!
If he's crying it's because he's not going to collect. Pos
Absolutely 💯% true narcissist. He cares more about her family immediately suspecting him than he does about the fact she is dead. He talks about it with true sadness, the ONLY thing he is passionate about in this interview and is almost able to fake a tearful voice.
Yep. I remember back when this happened... almost all of the comments read, "Narcissist."
@@sundaibrown o
He makes more crap up more he has intèviews every word he says turns me
Like searching for under armor and ends up with bullet proof vest??!🤦🏻♀️👩🏽⚖️
He's so happy to be in the media.....pathetic liar
@@mightyea I just heard that! He is crazy to even use that an excuse! I don’t have an eBay account but if I did, I would go look up under armor and see if an “armor proof vest” shows up!!!
That's what a narcissist would say- of the jury thinks I did it, they should execute me.... sick.
just the way he sipped that water from the coffee mug on the stand i could tell he is one .
Grand standing to drive the lie,Huge narssist move there. Bit him in the ass. Judge should have done what the jury sentence was. He reminds me of Watts.cold blooded planning.
Exactly. Just like Jodi Arias said “If I did this to Travis, I would BEG for the death penalty.”
Do ya think?! He had a 2.1 million dollar life insurance policy on her!
He is so homely and has a lisp. What in the heck did that gorgeous lady see in him anyway?!!!
This is the worst performance ever! Her poor family!!!
That poor poor woman …
He looks like Joel Osteen.
Just as fake.
Same demon
Poor little girl. She made a very bad choice of husband.
You never really know a person until you luce with them.
Great job! Nancy, you look beautiful!
If the jury believes I’m guilty then they should send me to death row. That makes no sense. He is screaming he is guilty. Normal people don’t say give me the death penalty even though I’m innocent
Yeah..who says that? Jodias Arias also said something creepy and similar..
He tried reverse psychology
He is evil and definitely murdered her👿
You are a brilliant godsend Nancy Grace Miss you 📺🚨😉✍🏻🙏🏻🗣
I've never seen a bullet wound like one to his hand .....I've had worse blisters.
Monster among us and not even handsome...
He has an answer for everything
Why is she a bride? So over the top they had been wed 3 years...she was a wife.
They have soo much evidence on him that it's almost embarrassing that hes sitting there lying like he is?!?! I guess he thinks it sounds good? 🤡😈🤦
She was way too good for him.
Such fantastic news…I remember this “story” I never believed his ridiculous account of events 👏👏👏✌️❤️🌎
He’s so full of it !!!!
He's full of himself, and three men a day
I remember this case I had the book. She went through so much losing her mother and having siblings that weren't raised yet. So terrible
What’s the name of the book pls?
@@christinad6650 to love honor and kill. I believe the detective on the case wrote it, it was a good read. Very sad but well informative.
I knew he did it when he told a story about dragging her body across the sand and accidentally dropping it on stairs! He did all of that just to cover up what he did to her. He also threw her body in the water. I can't believe he went on national TV, what a psychopath. I couldn't believe a word he said.
Try a little hard
You might squeeze out a tear.
😂😂
He's still working on it
Truly heart breaking 💔
I wish she had the chance to escape from him
I dont know whether he is guilty or not all i know is that all he does is give out energy as though that is as guilty as sin.
When your search history is the same as what happened to you...busted
I hear this guy trying very hard to cry, it's not happening.
No tears. Nada.
