She was married and, had a family she abandoned too. It was interesting to see how this unfolded. I'm not surprised that her husband and sons cut her off. That's a major betrayal; it goes beyond a simple affair (which is bad enough). I'm glad she at least got to make peace/say goodbye to her youngest son before he died. I followed the NY case closely and watched the Showtime series. She was actually not a guard but rather she ran the tailoring shop where the inmates worked manufacturing uniforms. So in both cases the women were around the inmates all day with opportunities for fraternization and flirting, that is, manipulation by the inmates. Maybe they really shouldn’t allow women in these jobs. 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6840831

It makes me wonder about all the things that go unnoticed in prisons. It also makes me shudder. As someone who struggles to lose a pound, I couldn't help but be struck by this man having the discipline to lose 25 pounds, but not the discipline to stay in school, work a steady job or wait out his prison sentence. Now he has ten extra years to do and ruined the dog lady's life. He probably was motivated with the be free and it's not like he has a refrigerator to raid late at night to ruin his diet. I missed how long his original sentence was but it didn't seem like they had much of a plan except to escape and just hole up and have sex til they were found. He sounds like a man who likes being a white knight, like when he wrote her in prison saying he wished he could rescue her and/or that's just his line he writes all the women.

The last I read on the subject, Bobbi and her husband (the former warden) are still together. He is adamant that she did not want to go with Dial and was forced. Bobbi’s two daughters apparently have a different take on the subject. According to an episode of Dateline about Parker and Dial, they were now grown and did not want a relationship with their mother. That of course could have all changed but if they think she was a part of Dial’s plan, it would mean that to them, Bobbi chose to leave with an escaped convict and not be with them for the years when they depend on a mother figure most. Let me just say that if a person is lacking in self-esteem and/or attention, those prisoners have the routine down cold. They also have the uncanny ability to ferret out those most in need - and will certainly take advantage of the situation. Couple that with someone looking to escape and it’s a recipe for disaster.

So infuriating how the police kept trying to claim her son was "being aggressive" and that's why he had a handcuff on when he was wheeled into the hospital...only for the video to show that no, he wasn't anything of the sort. And then these officers complain about the treatment they get from the public, and talk about the failing of the community. Well, gee, it's hard for people to respect you and your profession when you keep lying about simple facts like that, and do nothing to even try follow up on a lot of these leads. Yes, it's true that most families in general do tend to get frustrated with investigations, even ones that are very active, feeling they go too slow, but as we've seen many times on this show, there's some investigators that just don't even bother to try, for a whole host of reasons. So yeah, in those cases, sometimes it does have to be up to the victim's loved ones to keep things moving. I too hope she finally gets answers about what happened to her son. I liked her recording her interview with the police, too-it's sad that she has to resort to such measures in the first place, and speaks to just how little trust there is out there, but it's a smart move on her part, and clearly it worked in terms of proving the discrepancies between what the police told her and what actually happened. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6862191

Plus, I never understood why Jason would kill his wife and stepson, or why the stepson would kill his mother then himself. The motives didn't seem to be there. I thought the evidence was pretty common in these types of murders. Couple has money problems. Check. Wife wants to divorce controlling husband. Check. Husband takes out life insurance policy on wife before she turns up dead. Check. I would assume he wanted the step son out the way because he did not want to raise him after he killed his wife. Making him look like the murderer was a bonus I guess. One thing I found interesting is that in the Dateline show, they said that the gun was tested and only the dead son's fingerprints were found on it. I thought that was odd, because both the father and the adopted brother also used the guns, so what are the chances that only the dead son's fingerprints would be found on the gun? Unless of course the gun was wiped clean and then placed in the dead son's hands. I did read on another site though that the gun was tested and no fingerprints were found on the gun. So of course if that was true the dead son could not have been the murderer. Also as far as the rag in Jason's truck goes, the blood would not have stayed bright red had it been from a cut that happened two months before. The defense attorney was really reaching there. Jackson and Remington were pretty forgiving of their paternal grandmother, when she took the $100,000 life insurance money and didn't give any of it to them. Also don't understand why she didn't sell the $200,000 house rather than lose it for unpaid taxes. In any case Jason was a POS for not having the children on the policy. I guess he thought that his mother should get the money in case he needed it for his defense should he be charged with murder?

The sticking point is that the EMT testified the mother's body was warm to the touch and the son's body was cold. That would seem to eliminate the possibility of the son being the shooter. So, why did the so-called expert conclude it was a murder suicide and even testify to that opinion in the second trial? Also, assuming Jason is guilty as charged, why the disparity in time between the two murders? He murdered the son, then went somewhere and came back home and then murdered the wife and called 911? How does that even make sense? Did he tie her up until he got back home? How could he have murdered the son without his wife knowing? Quote Plus, I never understood why Jason would kill his wife and stepson, or why the stepson would kill his mother then himself. The motives didn't seem to be there. I thought both motives were equally plausible. A hormonal teenage son throwing a temper tantrum over not getting a phone is just as possible as a greedy husband killing his wife for the insurance money.

Money is the age-old motive, and it's a heck of a lot easier for me to get to an adult male killing his wife to collect 100K than it is a kid shooting his mother AND killing himself over a cell phone.

The older one who had already moved out by the time the murder happened would have known his parents and their issues better than the younger ones, but he’s the one who is staying on Jason’s side. I felt terrible for that poor 16 year old girl. Kids who have to live with knowing one parent killed the other break my heart. When I caught a rerun of the first version I found the sister in law's blog and found out more. The older son was a foster kid. He actually was a bully and mean to the younger one who was also murdered. It's sick that it was Nicole who took him in and he ends up siding with her murderer. He was sent away and back to his bio brother because as they got older he became meaner so he sides with the abuser and also a pyschopath himself.

LittleIggy July 17, 2021 Share July 17, 2021 Twisted Loyalty: Wow, Katherine is a true psychopath. I figured she had killed her mom when I heard that the mom had been stabbed 28 times. I’ve watched enough “murder shows” to know that kind of killing means it was personal. I feel sorry for her brother. She played him, used him, and abandoned him. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6897513
iMonrey July 17, 2021 Share July 17, 2021 Katherine (Catherine?) was the proverbial bad seed. Her father doused her and her brother with gasoline and threatened to light them on fire. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. There was obviously something not right with him so it's no wonder at least one of the children turned out so damaged. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6898051

I think he never got over the loss of the first son. I think Catherine did indeed kill her mother. Her childhood was horrific, and for that I have empathy. However, I think Catherine has been damaged enough by that childhood to be dangerous. She needs to be in jail. I'd support Andrew's release, however, but I also support Robert's family's feelings about Andrew. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6898547

I am 99.9999% sure Jason is guilty, but there's this tiny, nagging question I have in the back of my mind about the possibility that it was the son who did it, and that Jason just became so desperate to clear his name he resorted to all kinds of criminal antics after being accused and convicted, twice. The sticking point is that the EMT testified the mother's body was warm to the touch and the son's body was cold. That would seem to eliminate the possibility of the son being the shooter. So, why did the so-called expert conclude it was a murder suicide and even testify to that opinion in the second trial? Also, assuming Jason is guilty as charged, why the disparity in time between the two murders? He murdered the son, then went somewhere and came back home and then murdered the wife and called 911? How does that even make sense? Did he tie her up until he got back home? How could he have murdered the son without his wife knowing? The son was in a garage that had been converted to a bedroom. No insulation and holes in the wall. the Mom was in an upstairs bedroom. Heat rises. Her room would be much warmer than her son. I think that’s why the expert ignored the differences in body temperature. I might have bought a murder suicide rather than two murder except for Jason and his Moms behavior. Innocent people do not threaten peoples’ children.

mythoughtis July 17, 2021 Share July 17, 2021 (edited) Pet peeve: The show said Katherine was placed in a prison southwest of Chicago. The prison shown was Logan women’s prison located in Lincoln IL …. A good 2 hours southwest of Chicago. Note to everyone - the Chicago area has two thirds of the Illinois population… but it covers only a small part of the states’ geographical area. She was really something.

pdlinda July 18, 2021 Share July 18, 2021 3 hours ago, Ohmo said: I'd support Andrew's release, however, but I also support Robert's family's feelings about Andrew. There's a concept of Restorative Justice in some States whereby the victim's family gets to communicate on different levels with the convict who committed the crime against their loved one. In this case, Andrew seems authentically remorseful and has taken responsibility for committing the crime. With the exception of committing this horrendous crime due to the coercive and sinister influence of his evil sister, he lived an exemplary life and has continued that pattern throughout his years of incarceration. The Restorative Justice program might be a success in his case because of Andrew's unique attributes and the fact that the family might come to benefit from having a relationship with him to try and gain some relief from the anguish and grief they have experienced from the death of their loved one. I know of several cases where this program has created a special relationship between the victim's family and the perpetrator of the crime that has benefitted both. 5 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6898830

Yes, but I got the distinct sense that Robert's family doesn't want that, at least not now. I'd support Andrew's release for the reasons you've stated, but I think he's got to be realistic about Robert's family. They may never want to interact with Andrew. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6898847

Well, that is certainly their prerogative and it is to be respected. They had facilitators from the court in the cases I'm familiar with who work with both parties but are trained to be very sensitive to victims families thoughts and attitudes toward the perpetrator. He/she would never "push" for a proscribed result or try to interfere with the wishes of the victim's family. The successful use of the Program is when all parties feel a sense of fulfillment being in contact with each other. 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6898959

Melina22 July 18, 2021 Share July 18, 2021 I just watched A Killing in Cottonwood for the first time. Wow-is this the first time Keith has snapped at a prosecutor? He really thought she was wrong. You could tell it rattled her. I'm stunned the father got convicted on such flimsy evidence. "They had a knife in the kitchen that he could have used although there's no proof he touched it." "We decided the jumbled words on the 911 call are 'I killed my wife' even though it doesn't sound anything like that." "He was extra good Facebook friends with a woman in Idaho who he never actually met up with, who had decided to ask for forgiveness and make her marriage work." How awful for the family. 😕 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/167/#findComment-6899115
