It's pathetic when a parent hates their ex more than they love their children.
The lawyers who assisted this man in a false insanity claim………should be in jail with him.
What a mongrel.
Those girls loved him and he killed them. People like him should be used as test subjects over animals
So sad 😢 he never gave them a chance to grow up, so despicable what he did. R. I. P. little angels 🙏🙏🙏
Baruch Hashem, Jessica has been able to forge a new life following such a tragedy.
May the memory of Amara, Cecilia, and Sophie be a blessing.
A similar crime happened just this year in Washington State. Travis Decker, from Wisconsin but living in WA state, likewise murdered his 3 little girls. His remains were found about 3 months later. Like the father in this tragedy, De ker had a history of mental illness and PTSD from the military. And like Jessica, the Decker girls’ mom believed Travis loved his girls deeply, and never imagined he would hurt them. Regardless of what mental health issues they may have, parents who murder their children, especially out of jealousy or grief over the marriage break up, should never be let out of prison. The Death Sentence is too good for them, because then they don’t have to live with the full ramifications of this sin. Travis Decker likely killed himself, because he knew living with what he did was worst than dying.
how can anyone be so overcome by jealousy that they kill their own children? No matter what happens between parents, those girls would always be his and he could've been a proud father and eventually grandfather and he would perhaps eventually meet a special lady for himself. Instead of rebuilding himself, he killed everything that mattered and finished his own life in many ways. Idiot!
There a number of reasons some people should be tortured for LONG periods of time prior to killing them. This guy is the definition of who should be…. There is NO EXCUSE for murdering ones own children out of revenge.. I don't believe in suicide, but if I were ever entertaining a single thought like this, I would absolutely take my own life without a second thought. An absolute MONSTER.. My heart honestly HURTS for the Mother… She without a doubt had the best interest for their kids, while he was just the opposite. FORGET the mental illness excuse.. This was straight up REVENGE… I'm honestly GLAD (from afar) about what she has created since… Both in TRIBUTE and new children.. The name TRINITY is one of my favorites ever.. The SON's is great as well.. ALL LOVE to Jessica!!!
I hope Aaron is being treated appropriately by his fellow prisoners, if you know what I mean.
What a scumbag, some people don't deserve kids, poor little girls 😢 rip
I live in wisconsin and have never heard of this case. Happened the year I graduated high school. 4.5 hours away from where I live. RIP to these 3 girls. 🖤
He made death threats and that wasn’t enough to keep him away? He should have never existed. Pure evil. Those precious little girls 😢
May he forever see their brutalized bodies and they haunt his dreams!
Croix is pronounced ‘croy’
Rest in peace lil ones 🙏🏾
Heartbreaking.how evil
Why would u ever leave your children alone with someone who has already told u they want to kill them.
Those poor babies. Poor Jessica.
Hope the fellow inmates treat him as he deserves to be treated. Here in the UK, we just had a news story of a former lead singer of a rock band who was convicted a few years ago of even worse than child molestation. He was actually into BABIES. 😢 Was killed by 2 other inmates. I think those 2 inmates are heroes to all us Brits! This guy should get the same. Well his plan backfired because although he did break his ex-wife, she recovered enought to remarry a hopefully wonderful man, and have a son and another daughter, who she will guard like a lioness!
Harrowing. The man (I can’t use the word “father”) was filled with venom towards his ex-wife and did the worst crime possible. The fear and pain the girls experienced is hard to fathom.
I don’t understand why the death penalty wasn’t an option, he shouldn’t be able to live.
Nice accent
I really wish that people would stop using mental illness for their excuses. I am mentally ill. I have anxiety and depression and I would never do anything like this! Stop blaming mental illness.
WTF!?!? This reminds me of…… A compilation. Chris Watts the cheater, Travis Decker the psycopath and this guy, the vengeful and jealous. wtf
This sounds similar to another case in Wisconsin….look up Connor and Jessica Mckisik. 😢
RIP TO THOSE THREE LITTLE SOULS LOST AND A GRIEVING MOTHER. JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. SO TRAGIC AND SAD TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THANKS FOR SHARING AND YOU HAVE A GREAT CHANNEL.
He deserves the same punishment
Minot, ND is pronounced "my knot". Just FYI.
OMG How a parent can get through such a tragedy, I don't know. I really don't think I would have the strength, So, so sad.
heartbreaking
Hello DC this was heartbreaking for someone to kill anyone is monstrous but your children that had all their lives to lead how could anyone harm such sweet little girls. Thank you for bringing this story to light. This one really made my cry. Sending hugs and love. I truly felt terrible for the mother. ❤❤❤
I hope every day in prison is an absolute nightmare for that selfish prk., and knowing that he didn't succeed in destroying Jessica, eats at him every day. Thanks, DC.
Terrible when a person's hatred for their ex-spouse, is stronger than their love is, for their children…RIP little angels🌺🕊️🧸🌺🕊️🧸🌺🕊️🧸
if death penalty is warranted, it's for these kinds of cases.
Wisconsin seems to have its share of hideous crimes as with other states. Ed Gein, Jeffery Dahmer, and this evil crime.
May the three little ones rest in everlasting peace ✝️✝️✝️.
With those kind of threats the kids should not been allowed to be alone with him at all. I know the mom said it's because the girls loved him so much but idk.
After the way the girls greeted him so enthusiastically that day, it makes it even more unbelievable that he was still able to kill them. They were excited to see him and yet he still went through with it. I imagine most men would not be able to go through with the killings in light of this. Wisconsin must not have the death penalty because this is a death penalty case if I ever saw one.
