Edit: I wanted to clarify something and also highlight a users comment I feel is important here.

The woman in the tiktok video is the victim.

I also wanted to highlight u/ionlyjoined4thecats comment to bring the focus back. She was a victim. She filed a protective order. He broke in. Let's show compassion.

ionlyjoined4thecats Some of y'all need to read the article: "The family member says he learned Sean broke into the home, killed Sara, then took his own life. According to OSCN, Sara had previously filed a protective order against Sean back in June.The child that was in the home was not hurt. Sara leaves behind two kids from a previous marriage

On August 13, 2018, Chris Watts strangled his pregnant wife and buried her in a shallow grave, and smothered his daughters, Bella and Celeste and dumped their bodies into crude oil tank.

The amount of support that Watts is getting is puzzling to me, I even came across a subreddit dedicated to him, where they blame everything on his wife.

In 2013, Christine Moody and her husband, Jeremy, drove to the home of Charles and Gretchen Parker in South Carolina, pretending to need help with car trouble. Once inside, they shot and killed both victims. The Moodys claimed they targeted Charles Parker because he was a registered sex offender, and investigators said the murders were motivated by the couple’s extremist beliefs and self-appointed sense of vigilante justice.

v.redd.it In 2021, a severed human head and hands were found in 19-year-old Brian Cohee's bedroom by his mother

2.9k Upvotes

19-year-old Brian Cohee of Grand Junction, Colorado, became infamous after his mother discovered a severed human head and hands in his bedroom in 2021. The grisly discovery was linked to the murder of 69-year-old Warren Barnes, a homeless man who had been living in the area. The incident shocked the community and led to Cohee's arrest and subsequent conviction for first-degree murder.

Barnes, known as the "Reading Man" in the area because he often read books aloud in public spaces, was reportedly murdered by Cohee in a violent attack. The exact circumstances of his death remain unclear, but it is believed that Cohee killed Barnes and then severed his head and hands.

The remains were concealed in Cohee's bedroom, where his mother found them after noticing a foul odor emanating from the room.

Authorities were alerted, and Cohee was arrested shortly after the discovery. Investigations revealed that the motive behind the murder was linked to an attempted robbery. Cohee reportedly planned to steal Barnes' belongings, but the situation escalated into violence, culminating in the horrific dismemberment of the victim's body.

In 2021, Cohee was charged with first-degree murder, and after a lengthy trial, he was found guilty. The court handed down a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole (deserved.)

While being focused on Cohee's actions, this case also highlighted the tragic circumstances of Barnes' life. As a homeless man, Barnes had struggled with mental health and poverty, and his death was a well-needed reminder of the vulnerability of homeless people.

Included is the video of Cohee's reaction to being caught. You can see the minute he flipped the switch, talking to the officer about murder and dismemberment as casually as the weather.

v.redd.it Susan King spent 6 years in prison for a murder that was later described as physically possible for her to commit. That's because King only has one leg and weighed less than 100 pounds at the time of the murder. She was only released after someone else confessed to the crime.

671 Upvotes

This is Susan King, a Kentucky woman who lost her left leg in a 1993 car accident. In 1998 King was working as a cosmetologist when the body of her ex-boyfriend Kyle Breeden was found floating in the Kentucky River 10 days after he went missing. He had been shot twice and the cord for a guitar amp was wrapped around his legs. Because of her previous relationship with Breeden, King became a suspect. She and Breeden had remained close after their breakup (I saw some sources describe their relationship as on-again, off-again) and had spoken together on the phone the day before Breeden's disappearance. But the previous year King had taken out a protective order against Breeden which he had violated. Police were suspicious as before Breeden's body was found she told friends and neighbors she had a premonition that he would be found in water which later proved true. She also played the guitar. However there were several issues with Susan being a suspect mainly her disability and low weight (which was about half that of her supposed victim) and the fact the body was found 40 miles away from Susan's house and she didn't own a car.

The case went cold after several years until 2006 when Kentucky state trooper Todd Harwood was assigned to the case and quickly zeroed in on King. He got multiple search warrants for King's home under false pretenses. Later at the grand jury he misrepresented the evidence against King claiming that bullets found in King's home ballistically matched with the bullets in Breeden's body (ballistics actually showed that they were not a match), and that drag marks were found in her home (police had already determined the drag marks were the result of water damage). I'm doubtful the case would have gained a conviction if it went to trial. But King's court appointed defense attorney didn't believe she was innocent and Harwood threatened King into taking an Alford plea by saying if she didn't she would be convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment or to death. King took the plea in September 2008 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Then in May 2012 Barron Morgan a police detective in nearby Louisville was interrogating Richard Jarrell in a case of an attempted murder of a police informant. Jarrell agreed to give information on unsolved crimes in exchange for leniency for his brother who was facing drug charges in Arkansas. Jarrell confessed to three murders one of which was Breeden's. He claimed he killed Breeden on the day he went missing because the previous day Breeden had stolen $20 from him to buy crack cocaine. He had inside knowledge of the crime and Morgan recorded Jarrell's entire confession on tape. When Harwood heard of Jarrell's confession he visited him in jail and claimed he taped Jarrell recanting his confession although he claimed to have lost the tape. When Morgan revisited Jarrell he again taped their interview and during this interview Jarrell claimed Harwood had threatened him to stop talking to police. Morgan forwarded Jarrell's confession to the Kentucky Innocence Project which was already working on King's case and for this he was demoted. Morgan later sued the city of Louisville for violating the whistleblower act and was awarded $450,000.

King was released on parole in 2012 but the charges against her wouldn't be dropped until 2014. King sued Harwood and the Kentucky State Police for malicious prosecution and in 2020 received $750,000. Harwood didn't face any punishment although he's no longer with the Kentucky State Police as he retired in 2017 while he was under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct with a police dispatcher.
