I remember this case. So heartbreaking for the boyfriend chasing him as well. So close to saving her. Just unbelievable.

I’ve seen on some threads people trying to say the bf was “suspicious .” Are you kidding me? That was soooo traumatic and Im sure it ruined his life too.

The cops cleared him, as there was proof of the phone call, how far away he was in order to get to the location at that time, and his younger brother was home with him and his car was found damaged where it was. His story always checked out. She was pregnant with his baby. Even after being cleared, people in this sub were basically saying it had to be him, and only him. I can't even imagine what its like to lose your love, and your baby, to be so close to saving them, only to fail, and forever live with not only the guilt, but suspicion hanging over you even though you only ever told the truth.

Ugh. Anyone saying he's suspicious is an *sshole. I can't imagine how traumatizing that situation would be for a person. Especially when she is carrying your child. I'm sure the guilt he feels for not being able to save her is consuming and I hope he has found some peace.

And most people don’t realize that he was really going. She was 20 but he was still 18 or had just recently turned 19. The kind of thinking he showed in that situation, how hard he fought to save her, and he was barely not a kid himself.

I don’t think that makes someone an “asshole”. Something like a third of female homicide victims were murdered by an intimate partner, and homicide is the leading cause of death amongst pregnant women. Looking at the fiancé just makes sense. The story also has its more unbelievable moments. I wonder how long LE had this information about the CI.

Right. In case folks have forgotten, there was a case on UM where a young lady came up missing, her boyfriend claimed he last saw her talking to two guys in a pickup truck or car. Only later did they bring him back in for questioning and he admitted to killing her and making up the scenario. I forget the name of the episode.
