I thought he did it. They never want to pay child support for their own kids. What a guy.
nothing new compared to the true crime daily video from years ago
Thank you!
GUILTY
The one thing all these family annihilators have in common is that their parents think they are perfect and never hold them accountable for anything, ever, no matter what.
And that's where it starts. In the home, coddled their whole lives.
those types of parents are always so confident they know everything about their child. they just cant fathom that their kid reaches an age where they start to hide things from them.
What kind of catastrophe is this?
Excellent point
Yep. Just like Chris Watts' mother.
The mistress thought he was going to leave his wife and two little boys for her? Why would she want a man that would do such a thing? Why would she want to be the reason a family is split apart? There is shame on both sides of that affair.
The reason why that family was crumbling apart was the murderer, not her.
I'm sure breaking up her former friend's family was the least of her worries.
@@g.h.7755 the mistress was not an innocent person.
GREED #1 of 7
@@g.h.7755 you think a woman who has an affair with a married man is not responsible for a family crumbling? Wow!
Chris'parents shocked me the most, smiling and looking like they just won a trip .
Exactly what I thought
Welp, it's no wonder they spawned a monster
Amazing that the police couldn't find WHERE the e-mails were sent from ..... (unless it's not mentioned here).
@@mjohnson1741oh knock it off
@@user-oe1mb9hu9iI thought I heard them say the emails came from his computer.
He's so demented, he sent his friend into the home knowing what he would find.
He was hoping his buddy would cover for him.
No, he sent him because he wanted alibi. Killers of own family usually do that, "how can I find them if I killed them", so they send someone else....
His Dad, “ Only a monster could put his hands on his own kids neck and do that.” Yep! You’re right about that. Your son is that monster
Amen Amen Amen Amen
Eli and his sons are everywhere. Thank God like Eli, Chris's parents will meet the same fate as their 'precious' son. They clearly disregarded God and His surpassing Holiness for their accursed son.
They created that monster.
Yep
@@kobusvanheerden2887 The marine core probably helped too.
His parents are sickening for knowing he’s a murderer yet making excuses for him.
Even Worse their son murdered their grandchildren And they Choose to defend the murderer of their grandchildren
Chris has brothers who are just as awful. One had to be removed from the courtroom for threatening gestures he made to witnesses.
parents will always act that way I am not sure how I would react
exactly- they can’t stand the truth
And their son loved his job more than his family
Is anyone else freaked out by this guy's parents?? Why were they smiling like that ?? They lost grandkids and a daughter-in-law!!
They thought Sheri was not good enough for their son - they didn't like her (she was "too worldly and had a tattoo") Her father (a PREACHER) as good as said that Sheri wasn't meeting the needs of her husband so it was understandable that he found someone else.
I remember seeing that and my jaw dropped.
Typical “Christians”
Evil.
if there is a 50% chance that a person's psychopathy was inherited from one of their parents, then it was a sure bet in this family
@@LazyDaisyDay88 The apple did not fall away far from the tree.
So many of these gruesome evil cases involve men taking out their wives and children, to be with their mistress.
Chris Watts, Scott Peterson, Chris Coleman etc... Just sickening.
And David Camm.
It is VERY common to find out a partner is the person that kills the woman, not a stranger.
They're called family annihilators. Usually do so to start a new family but occasionally do so to 'protect' their family from a great evil. Most are male but a few women family annihilators exist.
Almost all also have a strong religious component involved as well. Whether Christian, Mormon or some other type of spiritualism which justifies their choice rationalizing heaven is a better option than whatever hell is on its way.
Very disturbing and fascinating type of killer but not gender exclusive. Though there is a strong link between men and violence mostly because societal views of masculinity justify types of violence and even glorify it. Think of soldiers at war or a policeman on duty or even a father protecting his daughter or wife from an assault.
Meanwhile feminine violence is rarely glorified and is instead looked down upon or even laughed at.
This very common in the United state. What we gather from all of these stories is that the men tries to leave, but the women won’t allow them. They are serious let them go. It’s not worth you life. Just leave.
The wives are usually prettier than their mistresses. Sheri was prettier than the other woman here, and Laci Peterson was prettier than Amber Frey. What do these men want? Perhaps someone else is more exciting.
It’s really mind boggling how he thought killing his family was better than getting a divorce .
Because he was working for a religious nutter, divorce would threaten his employment. He certainly didn't want to lose his job, did he!?
It's insane
Right? How do these people ever think they're going to get away with it?! It's a different kind of crazy for sure-
She refused to divorce him , and his job wouldn’t tolerate his divorcing her.
I'm guessing it was all about the money..sad:(
Sick how his parents never shed one tear nor express any emotion but smiling while talking about the murders of their grandchildren and daughter in law.
The Watts case is the same. Horrifying
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree ...
Twisted families
@@lackerbitandersson6241 I couldn’t have said it any better, we currently have a situation here in 🇬🇧 where 1 of our most famous ever TV Presenter’s brother was just jailed for being a paedophile! Welll his famous brother came out as Gay on his Morning Show on National TV after being married 30yrs in 2020 BUT only as a Intern said they had a affair long story short he said the Intern was lying! He randomly left his Job after 20years last week & this week admitted he did sleep with the 16yo boy his 62yo & KNEW what his brother did too, their both sick! 🤬 From a Hero to Zero! I feel for the victims & glad their getting justice 😔✊🏾 Sorry rant over on that note stay safe & have a good weekend 🙏🏾🩷
@@badgalriri2354 I’m 🇺🇸 but I know about Philip Scofield. The whole thing is sick, from his ‘coming out’ on itv to Holly crying with him on air (she knew all along). I tend to think his wife knew as well and that their marriage was ‘contractual’ in place of romantic. She was willing to put up with his vices as long as she could reap the benefits of his enormous earnings. The only ones I feel sorry for are his two daughters, but tbh, they don’t seem to mind all that much. Crazy world.
The fact that he never asked during the interrogation how they were killed just screams guilty… He didn’t need to ask because he already knew. He is such a cold blooded murderer and his parents are delusional.
Yes, an innocent person would be going berzerk until they got answers. How, who, what? etc. You wouldn't even be able to sit down and talk until your questions were answered. You would be demanding they catch whoever did it and wanting to run out and find answers, asking neighbors if they saw anything, do they have cameras, making calls. No way would an innocent husband just sit there and patiently let cops interrogate him after something like that.
He is a murderer of his wife and two sons. 👹
Well no, that alone is not evidence of anything. Good thing you are not a lawyer
💯.
@@valvodka nope, it's not. But it's a huge red flag. Good thing you're not a detective or you'd have missed it.
This killer's mom is unbelievable. She's smiling and lighthearted in the interview! The kicker is her saying they didn't want him to think they were ashamed of him. Unbelievable. I absolutely would be ashamed of my son if he had done something like this - even just the affair.
That part got me the most too.... like how could you NOT be ashamed of your son for cheating on his wife like that?!?!?!? Maddening.
@@ameliacoburn4787I wonder if the killer’s mom is ashamed of him now?
His mother smiling as she is denying her precious son could never act in this way, is chilling in itself.
Could not agree more
That’s is a mother of a malignant narcissist
I thought the same thing. Sickos
Some minister. People saying it is normal to deny your sons crime. What is not normal is to deny it in the face of overwhelming evidence. In the case of the Unibomber’s family, when they realized it was the son and brother, they reported their suspicions. This was no less painful for them, but they served the greater good and knew he had to be stopped. But this so-called man of God and his wife, clearly have proved themselves to be the most unGODlike and hypocritical. There seems to be no sorrow that their innocent little grandchildren and their mother were annihilated by their son. What a pathetic lot they are
Yes, it was disturbing to hear her laugh.
Same as evil mom Watts
What broke my heart was when the children in the neighborhood wondered if their dad would do something like that to them.
Yes! Someone needs to tell Chris that he inflicted that pain on EVERYBODY.
Yup, it is so heartbreaking to think that way for children
@@escapewithsarah9566he’d probably love it. He’s nuts
Why? It's not your problem.
@@azazello1784 hello…? Not our problem? Do you have the feeling as human ?
If your family were getting death threats, you wouldn’t leave them to go to the gym.
The apple never falls far from the tree. RIP to the 3 innocents and may Chris's parents always be haunted and never sleep at peace again 😢
Amen🙏🏾Amen
And his side chic. She's guilty too what did she expected? Getting into relationship with someone who's already married with small kids?hopefully she isn't sleeping well and kids faces are in her mind all the time
At the very beginning when he called the cops because his wife didn't answer the phone for like 10 minutes I knew it was him.
Yup. That was not normal reaction
Yup. If my husband doesn’t answer my calls or texts , i assume his ringer is off and let him deal with running late in the morning. I don’t call the cops.
Me too!
Exactly. Just commented the same. It would take a long time before my husband would make such a move…and that would probably only be after several annoyed texts or messages (if he can’t get ahold of me, that means he has to carry up the Costco stuff on his own 😬😂)
411 calls are so revealing, 99% times, it's the killer calling.
However, I grasp & appreciate we have a criminal justice system and we're given Due Process. Not always effective but it's better than countries with kangaroo courts or forms of **justice** in banana republics.
His parents attitude towards this whole situation explains soooooo much about him
That part
well said, as above his mother even smiling with a little giggle talking about him. A very attarctive women and her two lovely little boys, A real hard watch this one.
Agreed
right
Well he's no longer racking his one braincell and he's forgiven himself. And we can rest assured none of it was his fault🙄
"Let's just be here and not let him feel like we're ashamed of him." This stunner by Chris' parents just blew my mind!
Not because he is a murderer, but a cheater and are naked, what a crazy people.
His parents should be ashamed, how sick they are for smiling after all!!!
How people think that murdering your family is the better solution than a divorce will always be beyond me. RIP to these three angels
He wanted to leave her and the wife was not willing to let him go. In no way I condone his actions and violence toward her and the 2 kids. The friend even indicates "she refused to give him the divorce and she said if anything happened to her he did it." wow! why be with a man that she knew can harm her and consequently affect her children's life. There are some battles you have to walk away for your own wellbeing and welfare of your love ones and in this case the most vulnerable; the children. Both were head on in this fight and at the end was total destruction; the wife did not want the divorce; he was set on leaving her and the kids behind and at the end no one was willing to walk away from this battle with their loses (him leaving her and losing his job and the wife accepting his abandonment and moving on with her children) instead complete destruction: death and life sentence.
It doesn’t matter if she wanted to give him a divorce or not. The courts can’t force you to stay married. Every state recognizes no fault divorces and even in a fsult divorce the court isn’t going to block the divorce they’ll just deny granting an at fault divorce.
@@kintsukuroi6300 I know why, because my own mother refused to divorce my father, who cheated, beat her black and blue, and almost choked her to death. He did not abuse my brother or me. She read in the Bible that God hates divorce. She was willing to keep being a faithful, loving wife, who prayed for her husband. She finally gave him a divorce, after he had knocked up his teenage beer garden companion for the second time. He wanted to marry her. My mother then gave him the divorce, asked him to get help, and to be a better husband and father to that family. He married her. After the marriage, they had a third child. But, guess what? Turns out that she had cheated on him! Neither the second, nor the third child were his. She left him. Funny how things work out. My mother just believed in obeying Scripture.
The investigator asked him "did the affair have potential to go further?", and he answered "no, I didn't want to do that to my kids". But murdering them wàs okay? WOW
@@PixieTheRabbit. I understand completely. I stayed with my husband believing God would eventually get his attention, but finally after many years, I knew it was not going to happen. God is a gentleman, He doesn’t force us to follow Him.
The way those parents act, smiling all the time, in complete denial, tell me why they raised such a disturbed person.
They raised a monster
So creepy
They keep blaming Sherri and slander her name even after her death! They should be ashamed of themselves!!
@@bellerain381 SO SICK! I TRULY HOPE THAT THE PEOPLE OF "THEIR CHURCH" WHERE HE'S A PASTOR, HAVE LEFT! WHO WOULD EVER TRUST A SUPPOSED "MAN OF GOD" WHO THINKS & TALKS THIS WAY ABOUT HIS BEAUTIFUL DECEASED DAUGHTER IN LAW & GRANDSONS? SO INNOCENT, SO YOUNG 😢BRUTALLY MURDERED BY THEIR MONSTER SON, YET THEY BLAME SHERI? SICK MIND'S! NO WONDER THEIR PRECIOUS CHRIS GREW UP TO BE A PSYCHOPATH KILLER. EVIL 😈
They’re narcissistic zealots.
His parent aren’t ever sorry for their daughter in law. They’re all monsters. This case is terrifying
Even worst they are pastors
Chris Watts parents were the same
I suspect that they made him like that. They even said that he cheated because of Sherri not giving him at home. The absurd that came out of their mouths talk more about their hearts. No love towards her suffering and the children. They do not know God, they are just religious people doing religion things. That means nothing to God.
I was happy to see Sheri’s parents won a long legal battle to have Sheri and her 2 beautiful sons relocate their bodies at a cemetery in Chicago near them and not near the Colman’s family.
I find it shocking that you have an affair and then punish your family for it. What kind of sick person does that?
Soooo many sick people in this world. This is way too common.
Chris Watts comes to mind. There are many others, just google family annihilators.
@@MetsterAnn yes god I miss my friend Shanann 😢🥺
Laci peterson's husband, for one. Whatever his name was...
@@InspektoraDeFrutas. Scott
He lied about the affair, bought the spray paint, writing matched his, emails sent from his computer, camera was missing, all evidence against him, but the date on a silly picture is what the jury needed to convict? Scary!!!
My thoughts exactly 😢 I'm really hoping that part was just to sensationalize the story..
Not to mention this date is like few days apart of what he had originally stated to be the begin of his affair. But you can clearly see in this jurors behavior she felt very smart after her discovery
Iirc, this is what I heard the defense is using against the conviction on the appellate court.
They really said "Not Guilty" 😵💫
Agreed! He lied about the affair, lied about the emails, lied all over the place but lying about when his affair began is what they focused on?!? Either way, he was found guilty, like he should have been so it doesn't really matter what caused the nail in the coffin, as long as it's there
With parents like that he had no chance at being normal. The whole family should be locked up.
They are not normal people. Giving an excuse for his bad behavior. Like “he cheated because Sherri wasn’t doing her obligation as wife”. So then what? He killed her and the kids because? They are not humans.
How nice of Chris to be sure to stand right by the mailbox while playing catch with his sons one last time 😠😡 He knew his neighbor had caringly set up a camera to watch for the mysterious threat letter guy 😕
Chris's laugh at the very end when asked who he thought did it, as well as saying he needs to forgive and move on... that says everything you need to know. I don't think any innocent husband or wife could forgive and move on after their family was tragically murdered. He's a monster.
That is exactly what I thought, he shows no emotion for them
Especially while sitting in prison. He forgives the person who murdered his whole family and is the supposed reason he's in prison? So guilty, he's where he belongs.
Same. Id being saying things like if I ever get out I won’t rest until I find who did it.
He can forgive the murderer and move on because he IS the murderer!
Whoa that was scary to hear. Smh. So disgusting.
As soon as I saw in the description that Chris was threatened but not murdered like his family was, I knew he was the murderer. Absolutely disgusting.
I knew within 2 minutes of the opening that it was the husband. The threats were so over-the-top ridiculous. If somebody really hated his televangelist boss, they're going to be sending all that stuff to her, not one of her workers.
What I don't get is if an average person can conclude it was the husband so easily!! Why are the cops blind to this? If someone is serious about killing someone they aren't going to warn them of it usually!!
@@RalphJones-oy7te I agree. If the husband was really innocent, he would have not gotten a threat like that and go on living his normal life. And why would he be spared unless he was the murderer or he knew the killer? And, on top of that, no killer is going to warn someone about killing his family if they're actually going to do it! If I was on scene at that time I would immediately be suspicious of the husband.
@@4seeableTV yes, it is always the same textbook. Also the threats were too overdramatic, the police should have known better IMHO. This doesnt mean that they shouldnt have gotten the threats seriously, but they could have digged a little more
Also when I heard that he called the neighbor to check on them when he was still in town I knew it was him. That's unusual, it's like hey I know I killed my family can you go over there and discover the crime scene first so I don't because it will make me look guilty.
The family annihilator phenomenon is wild! I know all to well because I'm a survivor of an almost family annihilator which was my dad (Charles L Fight) who snapped and went on a rampage shootout shooting multiple sawed off shotguns around the police for 8 hours, the morning my dad was served divorce papers the second time.
The first time my dad was served divorce papers he called my mom at work and said "you just killed a man." But my 3 siblings and our mom is alive today because our mom knew our dad would take his anger out on us kids and our mom if we were there that morning he was served so our mom took us hours away to a different state 2 days before my dad went on his rampage shootout with the police shooting multiple sawed off shotguns. My dad snapped spring break of 2000 on March 29th 2000 in southern Indiana in a small rural city of Dubois out of (Dubois County) when he was 48 years old. My parents were married 14 years.
We kids were the same age as the Coleman boys, we kids just turned 10,11me,12 and 13 when our dad snapped and changed our lives forever.
These cases hit home for me because I survived the same thing, 23 years ago and I know there are ways to prevent this from happening.
We need to teach women how to spot the change in their husbands which is usually due to a mistress and how to take yourself and your children somewhere safe before you leave the man for good and remove your belongings from the family home, you must make sure you're kids are safe with someone before you go back to the family home to retrieve your belongings.
We need to teach women how to utilize the police to come with you and protect you while you collect your belongings.
Is not the same as this.
Your dad got served divorce papers, so your mom filed for divorce, leaving your dad without control and probably losing his children. Which is probably why he said 'you just killed a man'.
This guy in the video had all control. He wanted to separate. Something completely different.
Women already know very well how to utilize police. Research in my country showed that >50% of accusations by women on men, are false.
My mother left without belongings. There was no time for that luxury. Small city, he left for work and mom took off with us and pregnant. She saved us and herself. It was more than 50 years ago. I am glad your mother had the courage.
I'm so glad you were spared
He sure is the child of his parents! What a piece of work 😅
I've never seen grandparents doing sooooo much smiling or giggles durning an interview!!!
His parents are so detached from the situation in front of them.
There's just no sense of loss in *either* of them!!
Quite disturbing
What got me the most was the mom saying she didn't want to be ashamed of her son (with the pictures of him and his girlfriend). Absolutely shameful and hypocritical!
the psychopath doesn't fall far from the tree
Totally
Because they created this monster
I will never understand why people don’t just serve the damn divorce papers instead of doing something so sickening and irreversible.
He would have had to pay support for YEARSSSSSS AND he'd have to pay alimony. I'm a TA for Family Law in law school so I sorta "specialize" in these matters. He'd be looking at around 3500-5000 a month plus he'd have to provide healthcare for the family....and on and on. Plus, he obviously didn't love the boys and he'd have to visit with them or "look bad" to family and friends. Plus, I'm sure her life was insured....and also maybe the boys. I had homeowners insurance where if I or my wife were to die, the mortgage gets paid off. He wants the fresh start, money, his new woman and all the sympathy. Exactly opposite of what a divorce would have brought him.
They do… and the thing is the moment they yell at you that „divorcing you is not even worth it because you will cost me my financial freedom“ you still try and make excuses for them. You think they only say things like that to hurt you emotionally and even if after a while you believe them - you never imagine the father of your children to become a killer. 😔
I feel that way to, if they don’t want you then quit trying to hang on!
@@markfrost2707 all that financial responsibility and no way to pay after losing his cushy job with JM Ministries.
@@markfrost2707 According to this video, he wanted a divorce. Folks, if your spouse wants a divorce, IT'S OVER! WTF?!
The jurors using the date of the picture that started the affair in October instead of November 🙄 as a turning point to finally come up with guilty sounded a tad idiotic, as if the rest of the evidence wasn’t enough.
As if that date was something crucial.
“If he lied about that what else could he lie about” ..
While it was evident he was already lying about everything.
"I've racked my brain to figure out who murdered my family..hehehe"-Chris
You know you have seen too many of these kinds of stories when you immediately know it was the Dad . The moment they showed him crying it sealed it for me. How depressing…
Like seriously!!! I'm trying to figure out WTH so many males are emotional??? Quick to call women emotional but killing your family!!! 🤡🙄
Exactly my reaction. The dad wasn’t home and his entire family is wiped out. These men need to learn from those that have killed their wife and children before them. If you want out of the marriage……DIVORCE THEM.
Sadly I thought the same. I can't even watch it after I saw that.
Another Chris like Chris watts. Right down to the method. Sick Fs.
I know what you mean!
It’s sad how Chris’ parents are so deep in denial that they can’t see him for what he is 😢
That's maybe why he is the way he is ,they never held him accountable for is wrong doings ,still showing till days..
Spoiled rotten...
@@mgzone23 the only thing they worry about is the bussiness they run togehter, if they accept their son is evil....then they will lose customers in the church they run. Simple !!
they are as disturbed as their son.
Wouldn't any parent react that way? Who could believe their child could do such a thing?
@@macondo0143 You may be right.👍
It didn’t make sense that a man whose family was under serious threat would drive off and go to the gym, leaving them unprotected. That was a huge red flag.
And that window unlocked, what in the world?
Horrible selfish monster. His lover is a horrible heartless monster. And both are greedy as hell.
Made for each other.
RIP Garret Gavin and Sherry🙏🙏🙏🙏
People saying, 'How could he hate his kids so much?' He didn't hate them. That would mean he cared for them in some way. The fact is, they meant absolutely NOTHING to him. Less than nothing. He is just pure evil.
Psychopathy.
Yes. The opposite of love is indifference.
Yes, it seems like this type of killer is just (in his emotional understanding) "erasing" a current life so he can start a new one.
Dont think so.
He probably loved them, up to an extent.
But he loved himself more. A LOT more.
As in; the biological imperative is that parents sacrifice for their children. Its also easily argued from there that love = sacrifice.
A normal parent would make sure their children are in the life raft. Even if that leaves them on the sinking ship.
This guy did the opposite.
"No, I didn't want to do that to the kids," says Chris in response to a detective's question about the possibility he might have just been honest with his family about his relationship with Tara.
So, this monster couldn't stand the thought of telling his family the truth, the harm that might do to him, so he felt killing them was somehow more reasonable?
May he never have one peaceful day for the rest of his pitiful life.
He even laughed when he said he had "racked his brain" and couldn't figure out who killed his family. What is funny about that?? Something seriously wrong with him. Too bad his wife didn't just let him go. She and the boys could have had a great life wo him!
@@grannygoes7882 what makes you think his wife wouldn't have let him go? She may have said that she would not divorce him, that he would have to divorce her, but there's nothing saying that she wanted to stay in the marriage. She even made comments to people before she was killed that if something happened to her, that he did it. That is very telling. My best friend was brutally murdered by her husband. Three months before he killed her he took $100,000 in life insurance out on her, and she told me and my husband the exact same thing. You would think people would learn, however I don't think evil people learn anything at any time they only learn what they want. And if they can't get what they want, then people are expendable to them.
@@reneet5858 I thought she told one of her friends she didn't want a divorce so I thought she was fighting it but who knows?? There seems to be more and more evil people in the world doing unimaginable things! Those two sweet boys deserved better!
IIRC He also worked for a televangelist making big bucks, and would've lost his job if he'd've filed for divorce, or been caught cheating... Then he's stuck paying child support or alimony with no job.
Sounds oddly familiar to the Alex Murdoch case..
Who could giggle ?? A heartless monster 😤
His parents are a piece of work. His mom especially, you can see how important image is to her. I wonder how many times she put on that same happy face and pretended everything was fine when it clearly wasn't when Chris was a child. Their lack of acknowledgement of the horrors of their grandchildrens death is detached to the point of denial.
And then they have the nerve to launch a protracted legal battle against her parents about where they are buried?!
That this man has a congregation that listens to him absurd. Who are these people putting money in his collection plate like he isn't defending his murdering monster son? Do they know the money they put in is paying this scumbags legal fees?
Agreed.
When my husband can’t get me on the phone, he usually leaves an annoyed message. No guessing that I may be in the shower, or vacuuming, or whatever (🤦🏽♀️🙄)…but he also doesn’t immediately jump to, “geez send a neighbor over something is wrong.” These evil murderers always want some poor innocent person to find the victims.
Right. My husband calls me and I may not get back to him for hours. Never has he called the police to look for me. He also leaves an annoyed msg or text and then when I do talk to him he says "glad it wasn't death or dying". I'll never understand why killing your family is the way these idiots turn. Is it really that hard to just leave?
@@maetay1256 true. It’s impossible to get inside the mind of such people. Killing your own children? Dear God.
Don’t forget the hundreds of text saying you never answer the phone! But for sure never a neighbor or the cops doing a wellness check!
They were receiving threats, remember? That's why it would make sense to assume the worst and ask someone to go and check on them.
@@arpadczyliwampir Yeah, threats that were coming from his own computer…
Chris's parents are the kind of people you'll point to the sky and tell them it's blue and they'll still ask you to prove it.
So true! They're disgusting!
😂😂😂😂
Wicked Christians Deny their OWN 10 COMMANDMENTS! SHAME BEFORE GOD‼️THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM.
Well this episode really had me going all the way to the first 15 minutes in. Then I realized, OMG! He killed his own family and made up all of the threatening emails, notes and letters. I could not comprehend that a person would do this and not simply get a divorce.
You're sharp as a tack. 🙄
I remember watching this episode a while back and I also didn’t think it was ramping up to being the husband.
I love the way they tell the story. Then put Joyce in there saying “are you with me so far” right in the middle.
It boggles the mind how anyone thinks they will get away with murdering wife and kids.
Unfortunately, many have.
Yet so many do it.
Not anymore!
Narcissism.
Narcissist
A few notes:
- Chris Coleman's parents look like siblings.
- Chris Watts had to have heard about this case.
- Joyce Meyer's face is melting.
- Chris' parents are just as awful as the Watts parents.
- Tara is the worst friend and should feel guilty.
- Sherri was beautiful.
Joyce Meyer lol
Him & Watts share many personality similarities. Especially they were both described as being so quiet & unemotional & easy going. It’s def a profile
@Mandy Warski really?
@@ItCantRainForever2 I have never liked Joyce Myers. She is too strict. If her employees want a divorce they are fired. She has too many rules and too much power. I bet she has a lot in her own closet. She has had a face lift too. lol. She has rules but I bet she does not follow them.
I always thought Chris Watts had to have heard about this case before murdering his family too, and I agree, Chris Coleman's wife is in a different league from the woman he was having the affair with. Chris Coleman is just rotten to the core!
The sins of adultery and lusting is really damaging. He already got everything, beautiful wife, beautiful children and six figure job. Evil is everywhere...
I imagine playing ball in the yard with the kids was for the benefit of the neighbors so they can report that he was a good father
He wanted the GF, the job, the house, and the bank account. Sherry was a stay at home mom who would have received alimony. He made a decision to eliminate his debts. That was all his family was to him, a debt.
Fantasy “stay at home mom “… next joke … if you don’t know you better ask somebody…..
What does cesaria mean ?
Damn!
@@bridgetriley8242 Don't get married. Not all show their true colors until it's too late.
Cop said, the neighborhood is a great place to raise a family. This guy didn't think so. Plus, a neighbor said, they looked like an all American "perfect" family. First of all, nobody is perfect. Bad judge of character on the neighbors part. If it looks too good, it isn't. Far from it.
The chuckle after he said "I've been trying to rack my brain on who killed my family" says everything anybody needs to know.
Who laughs after their family has been murdered?
@tlc4701 for real, an he did it unconsciously.... tells us everything.
Dude has a light bulb head
Translation: I've been trying to think of someone that I can point the finger at and get out of here.
My heart is broken after watching this.
Every mother knows she doesn’t need any wake up call in the morning when you have 2 young kids
Kind of scary that the jury thought he was not guilty until they saw he was lying about the date of the start of the affair. REALLY??? He lied about having the affair, about counseling, was terrible to his wife the second they got home from "counseling", his family was murdered by 3 AM, BEFORE he left, but the "convincing" factor was the start of the affair?! WOW.
Yeah, there should be a minimum IQ requirement to serve on a jury.
Yeah, I thought that was such a stupid point to make.
@@dusanoljaca2585 but most folk be 2 bizzy baitin to do jury sittin
*Brawndo's gots what plants crave!*
Thank you. Was looking for this comment. Made no sense at all.
Lol was searching for this comment. He 100% did it but that jury member still managed to look like a complete idiot qualifying how they arrived at the correct decision.
How can his parents smile and laugh when their two grandsons were murdered? Just wow.
Evangelists
Suffering is their lot Nietzsche. Says no
Shock and denial. No one wants to think their own child could be a murderer of anyone, let alone their two little grandchildren. That's the only explanation I can think of.
The grandparents and Chris are sociopaths
same as thei rson. The grandma seems to go to a weeding, hair , make up, jewlery
The moment I saw the picture of the four of them,( before I played the video), I felt something very weird about the man who was there. I had no idea about this case, never seen it before, but he gave me such a bad feeling.
Now after seeing the whole thing I am speechless for such atrocity. Not in my worst nightmares I could ever imagined a story like this one!!!. May they rest in peace 🕊️🙏🏼🤍🙏🏼🤍 🕊️ Such a beautiful souls! What a great loss!. My heart is with the family and friends.
HE SAID "ABSOLUTELY" A LOT. INTERESTING. MY EX SAID THAT TOO WHEN HE LIED ON THE STAND IN COURT.
You know he’s guilty AF when at the conclusion of that phone interview he says “do my best to forgive that person and move on.” How do you move on from such tragedy if you’re truly innocent?
How do you move on in prison?
@@kimgysen10 mental peace!
Right, he really want the people to forgive him and move on smh. At the end of the day they were his sons am h
And his little giggle when he was answering that question
@@agiraffe3673 Duper's delight
The giggle from him after he answered he’s been wracking his brain about who could’ve killed his family just turned my stomach 🤢🤮🤮🤮😢😢
Exactly! I was shocked and came to the comment section to see if anyone else noticed. That giggle was evil.
he did the saying and his demon giggled on that
That right there must have given the officers a big clue. It was really out of line and strange.
Dupers delight…always gives them away.
As soon as I heard that I knew he was a narcissistic liar 😮
This has so many parallels to Chris Watts case it's incredible.
And I want to send their family my deepest condolences and prayers. They will be together in heaven.
Tara's a real piece of work, too. She definitely should NOT be wearing a cross necklace. Some "friend" she turned out to be. Nothing good ever comes of adultery.
Nope
I cannot stand people like this!!!!! They thump their Bibles, look down their noses at others and spout their garbage…..everything Jesus would be ashamed of!
Yeah she’s nasty, but don’t forget who killed their own kids there…
He thought an affair was “when you live with the person” ! Okaaaay…what a ridiculous thing to say.
The mother of Chris Coleman said she did not want her son to think she and his father were ashamed of him. If his parents were not ashamed of him, they ought to have been. Maybe the fact they were not ashamed of him fits a pattern wherein the parents throughout his life found him to be blameless all the time. That would lead to a person who has no conscience.
Exactly!!! If there were a time to be ashamed of someone, it’s after they did THIS!
👏👏👏you said it -,
They should've been ashamed of they raised him to do better 🥺
Absolutely!
HOW COULD THEY NOT BE ASHAMED!? HE'S A SICK MONSTER, PURE EVIL 😈
MAY SHERI, GARRETT & GAVIN REST IN PEACE 🕊 💙
I'm from a country in southern Africa and I must say I'm impressed by how US and others countries in the developed world handle these cases.
In what way? That's an interesting perspective
I think they may have been referring to America's justice system. Innocent until proven guilty. In many countries that does does not exist.
Life in prison? Or death penalty? It should be no other way. My country the maximum penalty is 40 years. You get 300 but serve only 12. Oscar Pistorius probably served 10 years? If that much.
Bless the family and friends!!!❤️✨
I find it SICK AF that Chris' mom smiled and giggled as if tickled that her son could be evil enough to commit a crime. That grin of shock she displayed was very insensitive. She shed not one tear for her grandchildren while in that interview
They have that delusional christian conservative narcissistic smugness going on. They rather save the face of the family than grieve their grandchildren.
The father even hesitated before saying Sheri’s name as if he somehow forgot her name for a second. They don’t care at all it seems. Only for their good name.
@@Ki_Thi this has nothing to do with Christianity.
@@peacenow42 It has to do with the moral superiority of a certain population of Christian conservatives. We've seen it on full display in the news.
@@Nancy-yw1rr and has NADA to do with religion. Evil people use the guise/disguise of religion (or police work or leadership of a country, etc) to further their personal agendas...when you fall for that, you not only help the divide and conquer evil folks, you help with the very evil of those people by mislabeling and misidentifying the very things that could help. There are way more kind conservatives of any religious slant than evil ones.
Just to point out someone has moral superiority says you also will judge others with your own moral feelings and you think you are correct (therefor superior to them). You better be ready to back that up.
He is guilty 100 percent😫
I can't believe how happy Chris's parents are during this interview
They're getting interviewed by a CBS reporter for national television, so naturally they're thrilled.
@@humanbeing2420 buddy - the circumstances as to why they are being interviewed are nothing to be proud or happy about .
@humanbring2420 I think the implication is they’re narcissists. Narcissists love attention.
That’s evangelicals for ya
Yes sweetheart your so right you need to watch the other videos of them totally praising that monster up it was sick I cuddent believe it ❤❤
He didn't ask because he already knew how they passed away. Pure evil how a parent can do that is really beyond me. rip to all that lost their lives. The way his mum sits there and smiles angered me 😢
He casually said do his best to forgive and move on like he was talking about somebody stealing his car or something.
I live in Columbia IL, and my son went to school with Gavin, but was a few years behind him if I remember correctly. I cross that bridge every day, and was at that small police station yesterday. My son graduated this weekend, and I couldn’t help but think that those sweet boys should’ve crossed that exact same stage with their mom cheering them on. I hope Chris rots in prison.
❤❤❤
Are your son and his classmates doing alright? I hope they've been able to heal
The mistress was actually a school friend of his wife…God save us from friends like these
Amen
Amen
Amen brother
That's no friend, but a fiend. 😢😢
@@MulaBatiswaHutagaol
Lol
L😊😊
He’s bent over in the interrogation room, hands on head & “crying.” However, that all stops the minute the detectives ask about the girlfriend. The tears vanish & he’s composed with his answers…..Talk about evil.
Thank you for a excellent video. Love your channel ❤❤❤❤
It blows my mind how his mother can sit there with a big ole smile on her face
It's the face of in denial. That's what denial looks like
As a grandmother, this is unfathomable. It would be so hard to smile if my grandchildren were murdered.
She needs to lay off the teeth whitening too.
So proud of her boy
Quite Clear to Me, because She is the Same as her Son, he came from her, Genetic.
the reason he says he can forgive and move on is cause he knows he did it, so of course it's easy for Him to forgive himself for doing such an horrific crime
That’s what I was confused about… he can forgive and move on when someone took his loved ones away??? I don’t know any loving parent who would just surrender like that, you don’t rest till there’s justice
He made it so obvious with that
Exactly! If my family was inialated, I would never stop looking for the killer.
T
Exactly what I was thinking too!
That laugh he had during the phone interview is soo creepy and inappropriate
He is truly a monster. To say something like that!!!😡😡😡 I wonder how they have him living in prison. Like in a protective area. We all know how other prisoners look at men who hurt women/kids.
Just goes to show that we really don’t know people- we just trust that they are going to do right by us and that we get a “good” one. Even the wife’s friend burned her.
I've learned in life, there's a LOT of evil, EVERYWHERE.
This is one of my best ❤
How he laughed at the very end on the phone gave me chills.
Exactly what I was thinking!
He mentioned he had to 'just forgive that person and move on.' He's talking about the self he cannot or will not face.
Absolutely correct. He's talking about himself when he says 'forgive'.
The way he just wants to "put this behind him" "forgive and forget"... if you are innocent, you fight til your dying breath! If not for yourself, for the love of your murdered children. But since he's guilty and has no such feelings of remorse, he just wants everyone to "forget" about this. The man is sick and I hope he has a miserable existence inside prison.
Same
My heart breaks for that mom and her boys- It’s just painful
they are in a better place!
@@clarkkent3730 Job 14:10-12
Poor kids and wife! RIP
He’s always been a kind person. Until he wasn’t.
His parents refuse to acknowledge he killed his entire family, whereas Sheri’s friends and family fought hard for justice. Chris’s parents decided to side with the man who killed his wife and children, their grandchildren. Sheri’s mother however fought hard for her daughter and grandchildren, the complete opposite because she isn’t some psycho. I’m sadly not surprised Chris turned out the way he did.
Its so sad it really has be in tears
Eli and his sons are everywhere. Thank God, like Eli, Chris's parents will meet the same fate as their 'precious' son. They clearly disregarded God and His surpassing Holiness for their accursed son.
This is all like Chris Watts
@@zeljkaallinone7696
I was thinking the same. Lust is a powerful drug hat can make people lose their damn minds.
zombie sazza yes i completely agree however i was just thinking what would happen if it was my own son that had done this and i have to be honest here........im not sure what i would do.....i love him..and..love is a very complex emotion
Notice how the grandparents said "we've lost 3" (meaning to say "3 boys). But they caught themselves and said "Sherri and the boys and now our son". That said it all to me
Yes, I caught that, too. I can only imagine how horribly they treated Sheri while she was married to their son. Ugh!
@@wyteriajacobo34 yup, awful humans just like their son.
@@wyteriajacobo34 I saw another documentary in which they bashed her appearance and talked about her in a very degrading way. Very sad.
Yeah they said she was wearing a little slimy outfit or something like that, and basically said they didn’t like her or she wasn’t good enough for Chris.
This is eerily similar to the Watts case.
The wife should’ve let him go knowing that he was hurting her verbally and saying things like he had never loved her. She loved him and probably thought he would come around but when she discovered he was having an affair she could file for divorce and prove it in the court and get the custody and half of what he has.
Yes. Agree. But i think she did not want the boys to be heart-broken. If she had filed the divorce, he would not have planned this crime. If your husband threats you, you'd better run away. He is a nasty monster.
Why does anyone ever think it’s possible to get away with murdering someone?
You know, sometimes, you can look at a person's parents and just understand why that person turned out the way they did.
I can imagine how many signs and bad things he’s done in his life that his parents denied and claimed ‘not our son, he would never’.
Probably abused and killed animals.
Exactly. And there are so many just like him and those parents
The sad fates of their neighborhood's pets aren't such a mystery after all.
This case is mind blowing and really really sad ! I hope he never ever gets out.
What a beautiful family. So tragic. 😮
How can someone have so much evil in them?
The similarities with this and the Chris Watts case are astounding.
They’re both named Chris. In this case the victim/wife was Sherry. Chris Watts wife was Shannan. Chris’s Watts killed his two daughters and this Chris had 2 sons.
In both cases there is a girlfriend.
Creepy.
So chilling. Also the parents of each man are so cold about the situation.
Both have creepy mom
Also the mistresses looked better than the wives as well
And the parents completely lack of love for the children and daughter-in-law is the same. CW parents even like the idea ShanAnn was to be blame for her death. No love, no care for others, but themselves.
@@dadillonfulI disagree, both mistresses are not better, not at all. They probably only satisfied their sexual needs better, that might be true.
I remember this story. So sad. His parents are in total denial.
Just like josh powell, chris watts and brian laundries parents...
@@phoenixmerridian9119 i mean its a hard thing to process specially when u made that thing that did something messed up poor parents but should've looked at the signe
It is a very difficult situation to be confronted with the fact that your little baby turned out to be a monster
@@phoenixmerridian9119 don't forget Scott Peterson who killed his wife Lacy and unborn baby. Mistress involved there too. Parents thought he was wonderful.
@@DRC-of2ci there must have been signs, which they chose to ignore.
Beautiful mother and the sons😢
This should be a cautionary tale for women refusing to leave a horrible marriage -- if you tell someone "If something happens to me, my husband did it." LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Abused women need to put their health & safety over financial stability & their reputations. If not for yourself, do @ least for your children.
His chuckle at the end when speaking about who could have killed his family is very telling! 😮
@eddie mclaughlin It's called dupers delight I believe.
Exactly what I thought. But he fooled no one he's in jail.
And wants to apologize to his mistress for LYING to her about the divorce!!! 😳🫢🤬 who cares he killed his whole family 🙄 then to say well I’ve forgiven whoever did it and have moved on 🤯
Then he talked about how he just wants to forgive the person and move on what the F
duping delight
I hope she's happy, now. She not only betrays her best friend in the worst possible way, her relationship was instrumental in his reason for killing that woman and her boys.
She probably dgaf tbh. Too many vile home wreckers, male and female, out there these days! Then you combine that with a weak, pathetic man who can't just walk away from his unhappiness, it ends tragically!😢
Sometimes I don't understand these women. He will treat you same as his wife, you are not special. But they believe they are the "one". No self respect.
Seen her interviews, she doesn't by care at all. Plus she was setting with Chris brother and another man,
The parents of the killer are always *delusional.!.* Smh!
