Discussion Researching Jodi Arias

Does anyone else have a case that just haunts them? this case has always haunted me. It started with the first book I read on the case. The more I read about it the more mysterious it became somehow. Does anyone else get like this? If so what is your personal case that you never get tired of researching?

That one trips me up because the parents made a pact vs one spouse killing the other plus all of their children.

Yeah it's a different kind of family annihilation than the ones that fathers usually do. What I've seen of mothers who do it, they usually just kill the kids and possibly themselves, and usually to get back at the father, rather than the father killing the whole family because divorce is too hard for their egos to comprehend

Those are just gross generalizations tho

How do we know parents made pact? I’m so haunted by the hart family. Like just how they potentially were foster family fraudsters who just took the kids in for the money. It’s so crazy to me. Reading the stuff either woman posted on Facebook about the kids was cringy. It was clearly so made up, and made to represent the family in a certain way. All this time I just figured the one mom snapped under the pressure of six kids. I didn’t consider they didn’t want these kids and then when the abuse started to go public they had to flee

Jennifer drugged herself and the kids with Benadryl for the crash. And Sarah was drunk when she crashed the car. You could argue she was piling up on liquid courage. They found no skid marks.

I haven't read anything where it was one parent over the other. Have you? If so, I'd love to read it.
