- Father and Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan was viciously ambushed in an upscale neighborhood in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, in February. He was driving home with his 2-year-old daughter. Cops say he stopped his vehicle to move a tire obstructing the road. That's when he was gunned down. Police believe the tire was left in the middle of the street to lure him out of his car. Bridegan's widow, Kirsten, says their daughter is struggling with what she saw that night.
"I will protect Momma," hits me really hard. From what I get from that is, she wishes she could have done something to protect her dad, and she feels a bit responsible for what happen since she literally couldn't do anything. She has a strong mind, and a strong personality, she's really holding her family together.
@ScariestEdgiestHumor Wow your such an edgy cool boy wooow so edgy so cool 😐😐

I hope this poor child doesn’t carry the weight of being responsible on figuring out who murdered her dad. Sending love to your family.
This could be a good thing. This is exactly like Batman’s origin story.
@@ryanhe4277 Despite the trauma of this event, doesn't your memory fade and change over time?
At this age, you don't really have any concept of what happened.
@Rodner Charles Vincent Arias Mendoza she will be just as sad as the widow even when matured cus she lost someone she loved for a short period and that guardian of hers was taken.
@@samuraiboi2735 no it’s a completely different type of trama she never even really got to meet her own father you don’t really develop core memories like that at the age of two compared to the mother who has raised three children with the father and lived w the husband for who knows how many years, and all that gets taken away and now you have to be a single mother who has to co parent w the ex of your now dead husband
@@lilcholo2097 yeah but still if she were told later she would be sad cus she will be matured to know what death and murder is but ill agree with you cus i know kids like her wont have the memory of it for years to come but then once she knows it, it will affect her but not long term
I can’t imagine what the little girl is dealing with. I hope that this solved soon. This is so heartbreaking.
By the sound of it im not sure it's really hit her yet

Seriously, grow up. Nobody thinks you’re funny. 💀
They shouldn't just be caught they should be sentenced to death
@Sammy except its not humor and its mental disability
She must be terrified of losing her mother too. I remember being little and my dog dying one night, my parents wouldn’t tell me how. So I slept in my parents bed every night for two years to make sure they were safe and that whatever got my dog didn’t get them too. I was constantly on edge at night for too many years. It’s led to insomnia in adulthood. I hope the little girl has a happy and peaceful life from now on.
Countess, it sounds like your parents didn't explain death well to you and caused this. They should have just explained the dog was sick or old and went to Heaven.
Its heartbreaking to see that a 2 year old trys to protect her mother r.i.p may that man rest in peace❤🕊

I know it sounds heartless but NEVER get out of the car even if there is someone or something blocking the road. Poor girl, no kid should ever witness their dad being killed right in front of their eyes.
Only people with experiance in bad areas will know this. It's a basic sign of a planned ambush. At best it would've just been a robbery. It's also why I never park close enough to vehicles at lights to allow myself to be boxed in. TBF, this dude likely grew up in the 'burbs so he didn't know any of this.

Praying for the mental health of the child , children should not have to be in situations like that , may God help that family
@@goodnightmunchie go back to your morning beer alcoholic.
For ANYONE to go through this, regardless if a child or not. Why do people always emphasize “child” in videos like these? No person deserves this. Whether the most innocent of children or horrible of elders. A person is a person, a life is a life. Neither should matter more than the other
Prayers will not do anything. It didn’t save the father’s life. What the child will need is lots and lots of counseling.
Because a child's brain is still developing and seeing this kind of thing can really mess a kid up for the rest of their life and cause behavioral issues and more
@@kaleycooper9111 I think because she so young
She speaks so well! I’m so sorry for the loss of this father and husband.
she sounds like such a happy child. I hope she finds peace
Her father was a rapist
She will eventually, but the trauma will never go away. In fact with this trauma she has, and with the way she's acting. It might lead her to becoming part of the military or a cop; while she might have certain attachment issues in the future.
This is heart breaking. How could somebody mow a man down in front of his 2 yr old. Who knows who was behind this ??? He may have known things at Microsoft that compromised his very life.
Someone who knew he would be traveling back home after dropping off his twins from his first marriage. His wife said whoever did it knew he would stop and move the tire to ensure no one was hurt.

@@KennyMcCormick5467 Troll. 🤪🤪🤪
Nope she's going to remember that until the day she dies.
Ex-wife asking for his death certificate shortly after he dies? That's like an arsonist parking nearby to watch the place they just lit on fire burn down. I sense a murder for hire.
Not if they have children together. It’s a document she would need.
@Johnny Smith Not necessarily. You’d get one too if someone publicly accused you of murder on the news, and the news story made a point to highlight your strained marriage and messy divorce. Maybe she did, maybe she didn’t. Innocent until proven otherwise.
@@HandmaidsTaleComingForUsAll That's not what their lawyer said. He stated it was an extremely abnormal thing to do. Furthermore, why would the killer make sure the ex-wife's kids weren't in the car before murdering him but not ensure his current wife's children weren't in the car before the murder took place?
Sad if the ex-wife did anything. Putting your child in the position that she won’t have a mom or dad is very evil spirited. I hope for the best for all his children, especially the 2 year old. I hope she doesn’t remember much when she grows older
@Oscar Universe they have a daughter together. She should at least care for her child who would have a father her mother set up and a mother in jail. That would put a lot of psychological burden on their child they share, which she wouldn’t deserve being young.
Sometimes that’s why it’s done that way, to put themselves beyond suspicion. “Why would I traumatize my own child” is quite a shield against probing questions.
@Oscar Universe jump on the clue bus hayseed
@@cormacthem8406 Never works in court though. Juries don't have any problems convincing themselves that a parent can kill the other with no regard for the children because it happens all the time.

@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 go cry somewhere else
He was such a happy looking man. His little girl saying those things to her mother is sad and leaves me speechless. She definitely is still affected.
Hard times make hard people and his daughter will be a diamond, she is strong and brave
I know her daughter is brave.
Given that...
Better keep vigilant and suspicious.
Might have a clue in connection to her father's death.
Clearly it was someone who knew him well enough to know he would pull over to move a tire out of the road instead of driving past it. Very suspicious indeed.
This poor family. My heart hurts for them. ❤️
Can't imagine losing a father as a toddler. My heart goes out to the whole family. So tragic!
Her 2 year old speaks well for being so young. I hope there were security cameras that captured something.
Her diction is so good for that age. She's so bright and brave.
I'm 52 with an awful short term memory but, I can _still_ remember wearing diapers and short dresses that didn't cover my bottom and crawling on the floor and being carried EVERYWHERE. If she remembers, I believe it.
A child's memory is the clearest, there is not much there expect the want to learn and experience. Sadly these experiences can be heartbreaking and traumatic but no matter how old we get or how far we try to push it down. They will always be our clearst memories. The way this little girl spoke made me have chills and I'm still feeling pain from it. At two her brain has already dealt with something that she has had to process and see her self as a "protector" for mom instead of being bed ridden like most people would be after not only losing their father but watching it happen also... makes me angry, very angry.😤

Imagine the pain the mother is going through right now, She lost her husband, and her daughter is going through a rough repeating memory of her Dad dying.
Condolences to the family, I hope the family gets the justice they deserve.
Dam man this hurts. I’m also a father to a daughter and my biggest fear is leaving her in the world without me. Seemed like a wonderful dad
Extra love and good vibes to these strong women, mother and daughter. Probably 1 of the most horrible things 2 go through, but that sweet little girl is being strong 4 her mama and it's incredible 2 see. Hope this family can get through these tough times.
How could people be so cruel to do something like this, to kill a father in front his child like that?!
Those people were absolutely out for blood, the fact they purposely put a tire to make people stop to kill them is disgusting
that poor little baby :( nobody deserves to go through that at such a young age, rest in peace to the father 🙌 praying they catch the person that did this to him.

My dad died from a heart attack when I was 5, I can kinda relate to the poor kid, R.I.P.
I feel so bad for the family and I hope they get justice. I’m so glad the daughter was not physically harmed.
Oh poor baby! I can't imagine that trauma that innocent little girl had to endure. 💔
Wow. How horrible. So sorry for this mother and daughter. Hope the police can solve this case.
Is the child from his 1st marriage? Yes it IS most likely someone that knows him. Either ex, or a disgruntled co-worker, seems most plausible. Why does the ex need a copy of the death certificate? The cops should look into her financial insurance records to see if there is a policy taken out before their divorce. The wife is suspect as well, if she has anything to hide financially. It is horrible to look at people you "love" and wonder if you ever "knew" them at all.
The child will NOT forget what she experienced. She needs some play therapy NOW, to enable her to start to process her emotions. The longer the mom waits, the more damage to that child.
Yes... asking for a death certificate usually means someone is seeking to collect on a life insurance claim if there is one to claim. I'm so sorry for this family. I just lost my husband recently, and the ex ended up getting all of his life insurance policies. We weren't married long, so he didn't get a chance to switch things over. All the ex had to do was get a death certificate, and she got everything.
If he and his ex had children together, depending on their custody agreement (if they had to make decisions together, like getting passports for the kids, for example) she would need a copy of his death certificate. Needing it for insurance or social security is common as well. I don’t think it’s an odd thing to request if she has minor children with him. I think it’s odder that the wife feels some sort of way about it, especially if he has children with his ex. It comes off as if she’s only considering her kids and not all of his children. Plus, why would she plaster her child all over the news and jeopardize her daughter’s safety by making a point to go public about her remembering what she saw. Go to the police and a grief specialist sure, but not the news. That could make her daughter a target for tying up loose ends.
@@HandmaidsTaleComingForUsAll I hope you're right.
@@HandmaidsTaleComingForUsAll Finally a comment with some sense. All these spammy comments with filled with “prayers this, that”...not one comment mentioned how this “mother” showed barely any sign of grief and so public with this WHOLE incident. You lost your husband and you’re already talking on the news with daughter. Even showing a recording of you guys for what reason ?Idk I don’t wanna assume on this widow but if she can assume on the ex and I can assume on her..
@@HandmaidsTaleComingForUsAll Really interesting perspective. Although I don’t currently think she had something to do with it… She has a cringey energy. Like Karen vibes. Like the second wife who’s insecure vibes… Like the chick who gets mad as soon as her husband talks to anyone that’s not her.

If he was an HR executive at Microsoft I'd imagine he's fired a lot of people over the years. That's where I'd investigate if I were a detective working on this case. Also, publicly exhibiting his ex-wife as a possible suspect with no evidence to back it up is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Im not sure how i feel about them name dropping the ex-wife on international TV like that, when even police havent named any suspects. Just seems like a reckless way to deal with this sensitive situation idk.
Rest easy this extremely sad prayers for the young lady and her mother. 😔❤️✌️
Listening to that 2 year old definitely hurts my heart.... the poor thing 💔😢
Whoever did this has zero respect for human life. I'm not so sure that getting on national television, announcing to the world that this little girl remembers her daddy's murder, simply bcuz of they person or persons that killed him may get nervous now & worry that this little girl can get them caught & may decide the best course of action is to get the little girl & do away w/her. Ik as a parent I most certainly wouldn't have allowed anybody to know that info. but to each his own, right?🤷
I wouldn’t admit this on a program that the entire world is able to see!
Exactly!
They're literally putting the child in danger.
It was probably his ex wife who killed him to gain custody of their kids. Such a senseless killing. Praying to the family and the little girl to have peace.
This precious child will be a blessing to her community. She's got so much to do💜
Given the precision of the attack and his position at the company, it’s likely he was specifically targeted.
That child...had to see her own father get gunned down right in front of her...and now she wants to protect her family at the age of 2...That child is a child of God.
What is wrong with asking to return library books? And she needs the Seth certificate to settle her children’s affairs and get them

You can’t rule anyone out in these types of cases but I would like to point out that the ex-wife asking for a copy of his death certificate is not unusual, especially considering they recently tied up their own legal battle. I had to get a copy of my father’s death certificate from my mom because I inherited his house and you wouldn’t believe the number of times I’ve had to show it while updating old paper work for the house. She’s probably going to use it a lot because they used to be married and they share a kid(s). For example, she’ll need it if she gets their kid a passport.
Also my heart broke when the video of the 2 year old played. It’s all so sad.
This is truly tragic! This is why you should have a dash cam or any kind of camera on your vehicle. Because you never know what will happen when you’re on the road these days.
Man that suck sorry for your lost .
Not a Detective here but the fact that the suspects use his act of kindness as bait, really narrows down the list, to people who knows him personally.
Because normally people would just ignore that tire in the road. I know I would.
Look at that thumbnail, it's so wholesome, just think knowing that the murderer guilty of the father's murder literally tore apart such lovely looking relationship between father and daughter
Aww how awful. What an effect this will have on her life forever. xx
@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 hmmm !
The ex wife STILL needs to be questioned! Idgaf.
This is so sad, and really hits close to home. When I was 12, my older cousin, about 16 at the time, was attending a school bonfire before graduating (early) for college. She didn't come home that night, but no one was worried because we assumed she had spent the night with a friend. Turns out someone had been passing out spiked drinks at the bonfire, and 14 girls ended up going missing, my cousin included. A police investigation concluded that a human trafficking ring with connections to our town was most likely responsible, and that the girls will probably never be seen again. We're still looking, wont ever give up, but no new clues have surfaced. I'll never give up hope that we'll find them. We miss you terry!
Government is connected. Every human trafficking traced to the top is a politician or an elite at hand. Epstein case made this clear. But really sorry to hear that, may God grant you the strength and wisdom to go through this and reward your hope 👍🏾
I hope you find her again 💜🥺
Omg so sad, I hope they don’t pressure the infant too much. She’s still too young to process it all. Sad.
