- “If anything happens to me, take this to the police”
On the late evening of November 29, 1992, a man opens his front door to discover two little boys shivering and covered in blood in an Atlanta suburb. 3 and a half years earlier, Sara Tokars hires a private investigator to follow her husband who she thinks is dangerous and unfaithful. The young mom discovers many dark secrets, including his criminal lifestyle, which would lead her to do anything she can to protect her sons, even if it meant dying while doing so.

That little boy making the defense attorney admit that you’d be able to remember your first home run, and attributed that to remembering his moms murder, incredible. His mom was right there with him. ❤
Honestly! What a smart kid. I’m glad he found peace.
That was absolutely unbelievable moment! How can a boy that young articulate such intelligence?
@@Nanticoke Children are much smarter than most adults understand or admit. Plus he had a great mother
@@user-xk4ei1sb3qthat’s also a very impressive little boy. Some adults wouldn’t be able to take the stand, relive that type of trauma & stand strong against a defense attorney….Ricky deserves all the credit in the world.
That lil boy, 💔 😢, this was soooo horrific crime 4 him 2 witness... FT isa sick sob
I knew it had to be Fred when he started talking about how his wife’s death affected his LIFESTYLE. An egocentric statement from an average narcissist.
Fr
Honestly like who thinks that besides an evil narcisstic murderer
I had the same thought. What a creep.
Right. It was this single word that gave it all away.
I wasn't paying attention at first, so when I happened to watch that bit with him talking about his lifestyle he lost, I immediately assumed that he was the killer being interviewed, not the husband 😅.
That little boy needed a hug on that stand , that’s all he needed . 🥺 such a strong bby
Seeing that baby in pain broke my heart😢😢
What happened to Mike? Why did he die so young?
@@shaksheedigitalmarketingHe had a pulmonary embolism, nothing related to this.
Pulmonary embolism sadly didnt recover @shaksheedigitalmarketing
Yes, I was wondering about Mike
My heart damn near stopped for a second when I read that Mike died at the age of 31years old. Poor Ricky! He lost his mother to murder, His father to prison and his little brother to a blood clot. Ricky is the only survivor of his immediate family. That poor guy has gone through so much in his young life.
RIP ...Mike❤😢
À
OMG how terribly, terribly sad 😢😢😢
oh no, these stories are depressing me I cant believe how mean people are??imagine the trigger man was more concerned about the kids than the p.o.s. father!!! oh the will get over it my god why do these things happen to good people there 100% IS NO GOD!!!!
@@johnnycash578Well if there is then _'our heavenly father'----_ cares about as much for his children as the 'father' here!!!!
The fact that he not only had his wife killed, but didn’t care one bit about her being killed in front of his children is absolutely disgusting.
Agree
He was a corrupt a$$hole without a conscience!
I don't see how a man can see his wife going through the pains of birthing life into the world that he helping procreate. Then just take her life and also have disregard for his own flesh ñ blood. Good thing God is the judge and not me!😢
@@unknown11215?
@@user-dw4cs4xv8y if someone is ready to take away a child's mom or dad, they're highly maladapative and selfish in the first place. But if they are planning to, they should at least make sure the kids are not around. This guy just didn't care enough to take that tiny effort i guess.
Just hearing that little boy talk on the stand is just heartbreaking. No child should have to go through this 😢 Can't imagine at that age. Watching your mother be murdered 😢
😓🙏🏻😓🙏🏻😓🙏🏻😓🙏🏻💔💔
I just burst in to tears. I wish I could of hugged him through the screen.
@@sh.4409 i know 😭
I immediately started crying watching it
Jesus 😥😓
knew Fred was guilty when he said he “lost his lifestyle”
who the hell would say that???
I agree. I thought the same thing!! It's like what the crap 😢
I remember this story on Dateline as a kid, and they said the police noticed that as well.
and he said it twice
I came here to say this too. His priorities were clearly selfish. Very suspicious.
A narcissist
I think Ricky's intelligence at such a young age also goes to show how amazing of a mother Sara was. Since Fred worked all the time, she practically raised those boys by herself. She's also very lucky to have a family that cared about her boys as much as she did.
Bless the family of sisters - I can tell they were raised with great care.
For those wondering, Mike Tokars unfortunately passed back in 2020 due to a pulmonary embolism at age 31. (a P.E is a blockage in the pulmonary artery which is what sends blood to your lungs, which about 100,000 people die of each year, and there are more than around 200,000 cases in the US each year alone)
EDIT: I told myself I wouldn't clarify but the fact that people cannot read properly or realize that Mike was Ricky's younger brother is astounding. Fred Tokars was 67 when he died of natural causes. Mike died of a medical tragedy likely due to either injury or underlying health conditions and was sadly not able to be saved. To those who have realized that they mixed up the names and corrected themselves, thank you.
Edit 2: To those saying that it was due to the covid vaccine, Mike died in April of 2020, the vaccine wasn't released until December. Stop it. This isn't about the vaccine.
@@meekamoore8789what do you mean by good
Thank you for that information. Sleep in Peace Mike❤🙏🏾 Sleep in Peace Sarah❤🙏🏾 You are reunited💝
@@meekamoore8789 Mike Tokars was the little brother, not the dad…

I met Sara in 1988, right after Mikey was born. I was pregnant with my oldest and my boss was her friend. She was such a thoughtful and lovely person, she brought me baby things and came to my baby shower, even though we had only socialized a handful of times.
RIP Mikey. :
Wow really
It's not about you. You're almost as narcissistic as Fred.
Mickey died??? How old was he?
@@jackiekane6489 he was 31 years old. He died of a pulmonary embolism.

I wish that people would understand that there is a difference between "forgiving" and "letting go of anger". Ricky explained it so well. You don't have to forgive but you can let go of the anger, hurt and hate.
Amen to that
Letting go of anger is the definition of forgiveness. Even the word origin means to let go.
I feel like the public announcement of immediate forgiveness is a fake virtue signaling Christian flex that makes people feel better. Forgiveness should be the outcome of a mutual effort post traumatic event.
This. Exactly how I feel about the people I despise. I've let fo of my anger but you'll never be forgiven especially because people rarely change.
@@rcg1111You are wrong. Associating "letting go of anger" with "forgiveness" is toxic and it's also victim-blaming. You need to check yourself.
Fred talking about losing his "lifestyle" was a glaring red flag. No one who's husband or wife was just murdered would be more concerned about losing his lifestyle rather than his wife being murdered in front of her young children. So glad the husband's in prison for life and those poor boys are safe with their loving grandparents.
Rest in Peace Sara! Your son caught the killer, I haven't seen a braver boy than that, and I'm glad he managed to catch that monster. This case is so heartbreaking. See this little boy crying just broke my heart..

@JuntaJanardhan Ricky DID outsmart the killer; the killer's defence was to question the child's memory... cue pure, innocent Wisdom as he courageously defends the memory of that horrific trauma with an example of remembering your first homerun 🎯
I have lucid memories from being a very young child, people please believe your kids and don't gaslight them.
@@allthingsnewlifeI've remembered my mom cheated on my stepdad since I was 5, my brother dying the same year, and my mom has gaslighted me the whole time. I'm 33 now, and I will never forget those two days. My mom wasn't a part of my brother's death, we weren't home( we were at my dad and stepmoms) but she always wanted me to try and convict my stepmom because she hated her. Mom's can use their kids just as dad's can, but this poor boy didn't deserve any of this. Get a gd divorce and be done. Don't kill the only other person you made a kid with. It will work out one day

@@JuntaJanardhanI hate that too. It's dishonest and wrong.
@@JuntaJanardhan The killer tried to say that the death was an accident, and thought he could get away with it because the kids were so young that their testimony wouldn't matter/wouldn't be believed. That kid recounting the night exactly as it happened along with the metaphor of a first home run sticking in the mind was important testimony towards getting the conviction.
I teared up listening to Ricky. He was a strong, incredible child.
Ricky is the man! He was so confident and articulate in court. I’m in awe. Sorry he lost his mom. ❤
This little boy is so brave. I hope he has had a good life despite the horror he has gone through.
Sadly Mike passed away in 2020 at the age of 31. The other son Ricky, who testified in court, is still doing as well as could be expected.✌🏻

I lived nearby when this happened and my son was actually at a sleepover two houses down from the Tokars ’ home on the night of the murder. I was quite distraught when I saw the news until I saw Fred’s press conference when he got back to Georgia. His body language gave him away and it was obvious to most of us that he he did it. We all kept wondering what was taking so long to arrest him. I’m so sorry to hear that the younger brother passed away. Good for Rick for handling all that life throws at him as well as he does.

My kids are the same age as those boys were when their mother was murdered. Watching Ricky’s testimony broke my heart as I imagine my oldest doing that. There is no greater crime than to destroy a child’s innocence and safety. And for the mastermind to be their own father, who cared more about his lifestyle than his children. It is devastating that Mike passed away so young. Ricky, your mother and brother are so proud of you, just as we are. I wish you peace and security. ♥️

@@shaksheedigitalmarketing blood clot
@@shaksheedigitalmarketing 💩 happens. Some people are more prone to blood clots than others. My oldest half-sister has been on blood thinners since at least 2016 because doctors found a dangerous clot. A friend, in her early 30s at the time, had a blood clot form in her leg during a road trip, and her friends pulled off the road to take her to the hospital. The doctors told her that had she waited, she would have died.
And no, his death was not due to the COVID vaccine. That wasn’t even available until the end of 2020. COVID itself, however, was already around, and is linked to blood clots. 🤷🏻♀️
Kids can remember so much. I remember my parents arguing constantly when I was a kid.
When I was 5 I first heard the word “divorce”. I didn’t know what it meant, but when my mom yelled we were leaving, I actually packed my little suitcase.
People shouldn’t stay together for the sake of the kids, because no matter how old they are, they’ll know something is wrong. And they’ll be miserable.

@cyn37211 Staying is the lesser of two evils. Divorce never stops the arguing.
This was my childhood too. But my parents divorcing caused far more trauma than the imperfection of their marriage. It's like a bomb going off in your home, and it ripples through the extended family.
People are better off accepting that life is not a fairytale and holding the family together for not only their kids, but the entire family.

When we were able to talk about it, we all agreed he was a slime. And looked like crap. The toll his then “LIFESTYLE” was taking on him really showing.
I did later learn that he acted as a jailhouse snitch in several trials. Why anybody believed a word he ever said is beyond me. He may as well have had “LIAR” stamped on his forehead.
Sara instilled in those beautiful boys a wonderful foundation that they’ve continued to build on. It’s inspirational how they’ve kept bitterness out of their lives with the help of a loving and supportive family. Sara would be so proud of them as we are.
On Friday, April 3, 2020, the world unexpectedly lost Michael "Mike" Philip Tokars from Bradenton, Florida. Mike died in Newport Beach, California, of a pulmonary embolism. He was 31.
Beloved by family and friends who nurtured and surrounded him and his older brother with love after their mother's 1992 murder, Mike was cherished his entire life for immeasurable reasons; his tenacious curiosity, compassionate heart, infectious sense of humor, kindred spirit, and remarkable zest for life.
Mike was born April 20, 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia.
When Mike was just 4 years old, he and his 6 year old brother, Rick, were tragically thrown into the public light when their mother, Sara Ambrusko Tokars, was brutally gunned down in front of them by a hit man hired by their father.
All of Atlanta and much of the nation were heartbroken when they read of the two brave little boys who, after witnessing their mother's murder, ran through a dark field to a distant house and desperately begged the stunned homeowner to call for help for their mother.
After the murder, the boys were taken in by their maternal grandparents, former Manatee County Health Director, Dr. John Ambrusko and his wife Phyllis, and were raised in Bradenton, Florida.
Although Mike never wanted his mother's murder to define his life, the horrific events instilled in him a desire to change things for the better and would characterize him for the rest of his life.
Mike graduated from Manatee High School in Bradenton, where he played football, ran track, and rowed crew for the Sarasota Scullers.
After graduating from the University of South Florida with a bachelor's degree, Mike continued on to the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York where he earned his master's degree. Mike worked as a reporter and content producer for The Christian Science Monitor, The New York Post, and The National Memo, and as a researcher for the television series "Crime Watch Daily With Chris Hansen".
Mike was adored by so many and impacted the lives of countless people during his abbreviated time on earth. His life is in part defined by his passions and what he valued most. He was an eloquent writer, gifted artist, voracious traveler, avid surfer and snowboarder, and music enthusiast. During his short life, he explored paths in Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles, and met countless meaningful friends along the way. However, he always considered Bradenton, Florida and its community to be his home.
As Mike's friend, Brendan Flanagan, reflected, "Though Mike's time was short, he will remain part of our lives forever. In many ways, we already feel his impact through the compassion, gratitude, and support that has been pouring in since his death. We hope that he is looking down on us now, together with his mom, Sara, smiling, laughing, and knowing how much he was loved and respected."
When Rick spoke at Mike's burial, his parting words were, "Mike was my younger brother, but I always looked up to him. I know Heaven instantly got more fun, vibrant, and creative with Mike up there. I love you, Mikey, and will miss you every day for the rest of my life. Love your big brother - Rick."
Mike's life can be summed up by a verse from one of his favorite poems: "what matters most...is how well you walk through the fire."
Mike was buried with his mother, Sara Ambrusko Tokars, and grandparents, John and Phyllis Ambrusko, at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Buffalo, New York.
Mike is survived by his brother, Rick Tokars; aunts, Therese (Craig Carlson) Ambrusko, Gretchen Schaeffer, Mary (Bob) Bennett, Joni Ambrusko, Karen (Neal) Wilcox, and Krissy (Gary) Pennington; nine cousins who loved him like a brother; and his beloved dog, Frank.
Thank you so much for sharing this
❤
RIP
We all appreciate the time you took to share with us. Thank you.
So sad 😞 my prayers are with Ricky’s family.
He only talked about himself in the press conference connected to her MURDER, his wife, the mother of his children. About it affected his whole LIFESTYLE. How he "did something to put his life in danger". Man, what about your wife? What about your family? What about your children huh? They're traumatized because they have to witness the murder of their mother. Omg this man. Unbelieveable. I knew he's the mastermind because all he talks about is me, me, me.
Absolutely
Study about narcissists. Not all are murders though, but they do murder you spirit
Ya really; his wife and mother of his children are dead, and he was worried about his lifestyle? Hope he enjoys his lifestyle in prison.
Pure narcissist
😊
This is absolutely tragic. Sarah appeared to be such a beautiful, gentle loving soul. I can’t imagine being 1 of 7 sisters and losing 1 of them. Her poor sweet boys deserved to have their Mother by their side for much, much longer than they did. It’s so scary that we live in a world with such evil, demonic beings.

@JuntaJanardhan yes, thank you for pointing that out on every thread in the comments. Clickbait or not, as you said the story stands on its own.
There is absolutely no reason to report it. Reporting a video puts the channel needlessly under review.
The facts are correct. There are no codes and guidelines broken. A Clickbait thumbnail, isn't fake news, misinformation or disinformation.
Get over it and instigating a channel to have their video pulled, a possible strike against them and to be under review for the "advertising strategy used".
That is an abuse of the reporting function and needlessly wastes everyone's time. And comes with severe ramifications, just because you think they should have done it differently.
And quit trying to flex your own annoyance with your call to report a video that shouldn't be reported....
Not cool!
I almost cried when he said the bit about always remembering your first home run. That’s such a smart way to put it, and yet it shows just how young he was :’(
My uncle was an FBI agent on this case when it happened. He disappeared for three months bc the work was so secretive… I was a small kid and just remember him suddenly showing back up and telling us he was part of why Fred was arrested, but wasn’t allowed to say anything else. Wild times.
Hmmm! And y’all just believed him? 😂😂😂
My uncle was a nuclear physicist, and I earned a PhD in mathematical physics...😮
They should not have left the boys with their father as he is a suspect
The lady and the children look so cute. Fred could have had a great life if he chosen the right path. He spoiled everything
Ricky was simply amazing and so strong to be able to testify at such a young age and so eloquently! Well done, his mother Sara would no doubt be extremely proud of him and the way that he looked after his younger brother. Sara's husband was pure evil not only killing a beautiful, loving Mum, but also in front of their young innocent children. Glad the evil monster was caught! Thankfully the brothers were brought up by Sara's amazing family. God bless them all.
god had this all in his divine plan from the start, created the mother (to have these kids) and created the murderer, knowing full well what was going to happen, after all it was his divine plan, and he did NOTHING to stop it. Watched it all happen, didn't intervene. If the killer comes to god before he dies, he's in heaven with your god... and that victim.. Oh bliss. BE HONEST!
Its not just incredible that you believe all that trash you wrote its dispectable to say the least GOD DOES HAVE PLANS FOR HIS CHILDREN PLANS FOR GOOD AND NOT FOR EVIL TO GIVE US A FUTURE AND a HOPE (Jeremiah 29v11) GOD ALSO CREATED HUMAN BEINGS WITH A GIFT TO MAKE CHOICES . OTHERWISE WE WOULD BE LIKE ROBOTS (Joshua 24v15) Choose this day whom you will serve as for me and my house we will serve THE LORD !

What a brave little kid Ricky was , And what a great man he has now become, his mother would be so proud of both her children ❤
Why can't people just get a divorce?!
Most of the time it's because of money! I always wonder the same thing. He messed up the lives of at least 10 people, not to mention all of her friends and other people who loved her! It's so crazy what money can make people do!
MONEY
Women are rewarded for getting a divorce. This law discourages men to marry and if they ever get married, they will try to avoid divorce at all costs. The video above is one of the extreme steps one would take to avoid divorce. Stupid law.
Because money. Guy wanted the life insurance.
They said it he thought she knew to much...Poor Women.....that's what I believe happened to Mrs Trump # 1 when they started investigating him Trump in New York i believe he had something to do with her falling...she knew to much I have hard time believing she fell down steps New York .I guess no kne investigating 🤨
What a kind, compassionate person Rick is. He became a lifeguard & EMT to save people. Poor baby thought his Mom could just go to a hospital n be fixed up. I wept all through his speaking
This is a complete clickbait title. The 8-year-old son had NOTHING to do with outsmarting his mom's killer. He wasn't even aware of the killer's identity until the police arrested his father. This is such a shame, because the case is quite sensational on its own and definitely didn't need a clickbait title to get people to watch it. Shame on the uploaders for using an 8-year-old's trauma to get views. Disliked and reported to CZcams.
@@JuntaJanardhanyou’re a disgusting person. People are leaving replies with condolences and support for the family and you think it’s important to copy and paste your unwanted opinion on every single comment? YOU are the problem.
What an incredibly brave young boy-he was amazing to get his little brother to safety & on the stand.
I’m sure he’s proud of his courage at the time,as an adult today.
He really was outstanding in 2 very difficult situations.
Im really glad he didnt have to testify in front of his father.
He’d done enough ❤

Such a beautiful mom and two little sons.❤❤❤ He was no match for her you can tell he's a weak jerk, only worried about his lifestyle! Says it all!
Sara's family seem so close to each other and have given her sons so much love. Heart warming to see how her family have raised Ricky and Mike to be outstanding men. Fred cannot take credit for any of his boys successes. He did not deserve such a precious family. Rest in peace Sara. You are and were such a brave and amazing mother and woman.
She was an awesome Mother,too raise a sweet,smart young man,he made sure his little brother was ok and went to get help!! This is a remarkable 8 year old!! I Pray he and his brother have an awesome rest of their lives!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Little bro Mike died in 2020 of pulmonary embolism, blood clots. Aged 31. RIP.
It's just sad, because this kid ... He was so so so small and saw his mother get killed, I can't believed it.. 😭🤧
and Ricky's brother died aswell... The pain he had to go through for all of this.
She brought two incredible individuals into the world.
Yes she did ❤
The presence of mind of Ricky, as a six year old, and later, as an eight year old in the trial is astounding. I know adults who dont have the precence of mind this young lad had. I'm glad both the boys managed to find peace and moved on.
I read how Mike passed away three years ago. It is so sad he not only had a short life but must have been plagued with PTSD and depression.
He seemed to be such a gentle and talented person.
If only they had a good father...
@@elizabethg6199 I'm sure he accomplished a lot. I read several personal accounts such as his former boss and other articles mentioning PTSD and depression. I don't know him in person but it's not hard to imagine he may have had mental health issues under the unfortunate circumstance he was thrown into at such young age. Also people can accomplish great things while suffering from PTSD and depression and sometimes because of it.
Wow really l can't believe it RIP Beautiful Angel 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@stumbok"may have had' is speculation not fact...
Yes it's speculation. Your point?@@AmandaHugandKiss411
I really do love that all of your videos focus almost completely on the victims instead of the killers, it's nice to see someone not focus on those who commit these atrocities and instead on the people who had to suffer because of them
Ricky was and is such a brave human being and wise beyond his years. Listening to his testimony broke me to my core, especially when he broke down crying but kept telling what happened. For him to have that level of understanding at that young age is amazing. I hope he and his brother have done their healing in the most meaningful ways for them.
Who is here in 2024 is it me alone?
Me too 🇨🇦🙏
Im here too😊🇩🇰
I am.
Here!!😊
Me too
Man… as a mom of 4 little boys, this is so heartbreaking! I just can’t imagine a little boys going through that. Thank God for her loving family!

The way he said "idk what its like to have a mom" and you can see him choke up, also made me choke up. They are both so resilient and smart just like how their mother taught them to be. I am happy they are able to push forward and not let this tragedy define their life.
I didn't hit a home run till I was in my teens. The fact that he can articulate the analogy to reassure and convince people he's remembering correctly at that age under that stress is amazing, no?
He really was a a$$hole . I was raised in East Marietta and was raising my kids there when this happened. I was a waitress back then so I had met Tokars before at the restaurant.
My middle son got into some minor trouble not long after this happened (he was 17 in the wrong place at the wrong time) and we had to go turn him into the police then wait around forever so we could bail him out. He was put in a cell next to Tokars. He said the guy had a computer, Books, and stacks of papers everywhere. He was working on his defense. All that stuff didn’t help him a bit! I’m so glad it didn’t!! He was evil in my opinion.
I don’t know how the son Michael passed but I’m glad to hear Ricky is doing ok. Ricky was the one who saw it all.
Kids arent stupid. They pay attention. Never asked my mom for the good food because i knew we were poor. Mom didnt get a lot to eat sometimes to feed me and i felt really bad.
Your comment made me sad. I hope you have all the good food now.
I’m right there with you. I didn’t ask for school clothes or money to go to the movies either. We always had birthday parties at home with homemade box cake and a sleepover. Even the little bit of extra food she had to purchase I felt bad about.
@@autisticangell all of iI. And so does mama. ❤️ thank you
@@cocosphynx911 my aunt had a little she and my uncle worked super hard for, she wass also a master arte and craftslady and could do everything from bake a bakery standard cake to fixin shit on decks to sewing a full gown. She made me a cheeseburger cake one year cause we're parrotheads, and that birthday was the best birthday i ever had. It was my 11th!
@@aquasnek5487 she sounds awesome. I’d love to try that cake as well.
The cries of this little boy was absolutely heart breaking, he is so brave for taking the stand and testifying like wow the whole story is so heartbreaking!
Somebody already said it, but I can't help but to say it as well, when he referenced his mom's murder to how it you remember hitting a home run- it really takes a person back to when you were a child, and how you can still remember that 20, 30 years later like yesterday. What an articulate child who can process such an analogy to truly get across how he remembers. Astounding. I don't think children get the credit that they deserve at times. Amazing, yet sad. I wish a home run was a memory instead of this horror.
What a beautiful brave young boy to come up with an analogy like that to explain how everything that he witnessed stayed in his mind like when you hit a home run! ❤❤ Rip to his mama who raised smart boys 😢
Prosecuting attorneys normally prepare their witnesses before they take the stand. It's quite possible that they would have factored in the counter argument by the defense that a memory from 2 years prior when he was just 6 years old might be fallible. It's possible they gave him that analogy and taught him to rehearse that response. Nonetheless, that's a brave kiddo who survived the worst
@KADSTYLZ Party pooper. It sounded pretty legitimate and sincere.
He's a great actor if he was coached to say that as an 8 year old. Please.
@@KADSTYLZyeah that's true I never thought of that way. Brave boy nevertheless
@@didi012578 I appreciate you sharing your opinion as freely as I did mine. Not gonna call you any names though. I happen to be in the law field myself so I know what happens behind the scenes and definitely not discrediting the young man. Could have been an analogy that they actually helped him to put into words, but he did it really well and the result was justice for his Mom. Most important
@@KADSTYLZ😊
Some people don't deserve forgiveness, and there's nothing wrong with that
Nobody deserves forgiveness. Forgiveness is for your own healing to begin its not really meant for the person you're fogivng.
We have to forgive others just as Jesus forgive us.
@@debbieramsey2696
No we don't. That's part of the free will. Jesus will forgive them, I choose to not forgive evil of my own FREE WILL.
We don't HAVE TO FORGIVE.
@debbieramsey2696 no we don't.
@@BabyMonkeyDefender St. Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
That little boy was SO smart, strong and loving. Made me cry to hear him talk about trying to check on his mom.
A mother's determination to protect her child is just unimaginable. May she rest in peace.
Their mom looks like a flower. She looks like so full of life. What a beautiful person❤
This is heartwrenching! A father putting his children through such trauma, at such a young age! That's very, very cruel! This is a picture these boys will have for the rest of their lives.
Killing his wife didn't help. It actually worsened his situation, ending up rotting in jail.
Great point. Don't know why these so called smart guys can't figure that out beforehand!
His Lifestyle 😮 was more important than his wife's life, his children's literal mental health and sanity or the lose of the mother of his sons, a loved sister, auntie and daughter 😢this man, if you can call him that, completely disgusts and angers me.
The way the boy tries to explain how he can so surely remember it, that's crazy to me. How smart of him to compare it to something common (even though it is not trivial at all), the way he explains "well you know how you will always remember the first time you hit a home-run", that's insanely well argued. What a brave and smart kid ... 🥺
Shout out to Sara for being smart enough to gather pertinent information so that this disgusting scum bag would STILL have to pay the consequences for his actions even if she’s dead. I really advise that everyone who is in a toxic and/abusive relationship does the same thing. If you know this relationship isn’t likely to last then you need to gather whatever proof you can in order to make sure the person you’re with doesn’t get to roll with whatever narrative they want after a breakup or divorce.

@@JuntaJanardhankeeping them honest!
@@asha8000nothing honest about copy&paste spamming a reply on totally unrelated comments.
In 2009 I came home from work and found my mother deceased she was only 64 years old and I at the time was 39 it was the most traumatic thing I've ever been through in my life I cannot imagine having to go through that at his age especially that she was murdered
I was 11. Basically ruined my chances at life. No one really cares if you have no mom, usually.
One bit of advice is if you're in danger, and there are people around/it's a public area with neighbours, cars driving past, buildings nearby. Scream, run, refuse, cause commotion, stall, ask question, FIGHT BACK. Do NOT let them take you somewhere secluded. That's where they will do the most harm and likely get away with it. Make sure someone will notice if something happens!
It's terrifying, but if they're gonna hurt you, make sure there will be witnesses and multiple emergency calls coming in because of it, don't comply if you know someone will see it. and be a witness. Most assailants will give up at the risk of being caught, do yourself a favour and don't let them win.
Witnessing my father's suicide as an adult was life altering . I can't imagine what these little boys endured and have suffered their entire lives . My heart goes out to both of them ❤❤
God bless you. I wish you a lot of strength!
It really broke my heart seeing Ricky break down crying 😢 The fact that the boys saw everything that happened is evil. Looking at the pictures of Sarah with her children it is plain to see how she loved them so very much. 😢
So sad that brave lil boy died so young at 32 💔😞 RIP Mike, champ!
Ricky the older brother is the hero. Mike is his baby brother.
Oh...that poor little boy, just unimaginable what he had to go through..heartbreaking.
Testimony to his aunties, they turned put a wonderful man. Mom would be so proud
What an amazing boy to have that recall and not have it hidden within by the trauma. The adult he and his younger brother have become is a true testament to the love of his mother and her family who raised them 🙏
Amazing little boy! And I'm sure they grew up to be amazing adults because of their mum and her family. Such a beautiful woman and she would be so proud of her boys.
This is why I'm so grateful for my bullies. No stranger is getting NEAR me unless I invited them.
Best alarm system, ever.
Wow Rickey I needed inspiration today and you are it!
Wait, Mike died?? The younger brother?? 1988 - 2020??? Oh, man. That's extra awful. Pulmonary embolism, according to the internet. He lived in Newport Beach. Bless him.
If it’s any consolation to the family, Mike is with his Mother in the arms of Angels.🧚❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖💝💘💞💕✡️✝️
Wow that kid was unusually bright and mature
The little boy is so brilliant! Good on him on holding it together and behaving so maturely with him little brother under such traumatic circumstances, and also being brave enough in court.
Oh when that baby boy cried retelling that story😭 I’m sorry lil man….
What an impressive little boy! I was 9 years old when I watched my dad die. Although I remember every detail about the night he died, I barely remember him as a person. He’s more of an abstract to me. This man remembers so much about his mother. That’s so wonderful!

I’m upset that this boy had to go through all this at such a young age, and was exposed to such trauma. I don’t understand why monsters could ever do something like this to a literal CHILD.

damn thats horrible. cant even imagine going through that at any age let alone such a young one. what a strong young man he was to go through all of that.
These amazing boys are raised by by a smart and loving mother. She and her family are proud of of them. Ricky step up ,to care for his younger brother. And help get justice for his mother. I wish her family healing and the best of life. 💕💞💕
Mike died of a pulmonary embolism in 2020 at 31.After earning a Masters in Journalism from Columbia this young man was tragically robbed of a great life. How fucking sad to know one of those boys died so young. I was 28 in 2020, barely younger than Mike. I can’t imagine dying during that crazy year and he died un Newport Beach which is near me. I wish I could have met him. And in a strange twist, the dad who orchestrated this murder of their mom died a month after Mike. A MONTH!
Father was a psychopath and narcissistic, only cared about himself, and no emotions toward his family.
I have two boys who are also 6 and 4. I pray none of my children have to witness these kinds of things.
This is why when i meet someone and they start talking way too much, I walk away . I won’t get into somebody’s business to end up being a victim.
Your Mother was clearly a beautiful lady inside and out and there's part of her within her boys. I truly admire your strength and determination to lead "the best life" you possibly can, which I think your Mum would have wanted for you both.
Absolutely unbelievable. Seeing such a small child holding his ground on the court stand. And to testify against his murdering father in court. Heartbreaking. Couldn't stop crying seeing that. 😢😢😢

I knew he hired someone to kill her since he was still out of town at the time. It bothered me he talked about his wife's death affecting his lifestyle. What a creep!
Just watching him testify, he was so adorable, that just breaks my heart. Little guy had to go through something like that. I want to reach out through time and space and just comfort that little 6-year-old.
another great video.. thanks!
