The one on their right (to our left as viewers) kept looking over at the other friend strangely, I thought. Nicole, while being blonde too, didn't seem to be the third musketeer in the makeup dept., as her photos looked like she sported a more natural look.

CelticBlackCat May 13, 2018 Share May 13, 2018 I was thinking that Nicole ran out of the Sardine Can bar and that's where she encountered Burch, on the street between bars. Remember, he had been a patron of Richard Cranium's Bar on the same street. He might have given her the old southern gentleman routine like what's wrong, honey, why are you upset, and she stopped to talk to him and he charmed her (I know, but it could've happened) into his car for a ride home, but things turned violent and he ended her life. I think that by now if Doug had been in cahoots with George Burch, Burch would have spilled the beans by now, as he's behind bars wearing an orange jumpsuit for the rest of his life. He put that story together and it worked, for a few days. 3 Link to comment

(I hate to give props to a murderer, but that was pretty sophisticated thinking on his part. Wouldn't expect that from someone his age.) Kids these days are very sophisticated about using apps and the latest technology on computers, smartphones, etc. His premeditation is a clear path to first degree murder.

I liked a post upthread because I feel sorry for the grandfather, Je'Michael is also guilty because murder is not the way to handle anything. However, I have news for Dannie's family. She was not the magically sweet teen that they thought she was. She was not the random, unwitting victim of a situation. Telling your boyfriend that you're pregnant when you're not is dangerous. Being in a secluded area with him late at night is dangerous. Like someone said upthread, Je'Michael thinking the way that he did had consequences, but Dannie also thinking that she could magically get Je'Michael back with a baby was an equally dumb idea. I know that both of them were teenagers, and teenagers make dumb decisions. However, the reality is is that all decisions have consequences. Dannie is dead, and it's not like the teenage decisions don't count. I feel that that's how we're supposed to view cases like this. Like it was a stupid teenage decision and nothing more. Everyone only gets one life, no matter how old a person is, and people have to take some agency in order to try and protect themselves. I feel very sorry for Dannie's family. They truly believed that she was more innocent than she turned out to be. The cop said that she wasn't pregnant, so she was taking a gamble, and she lost. She did indeed deserve to live, but the situation was not without some participation on her part either. I get tired of being told to wave situations away due to teenage stupidity. Plenty of teenagers make stupid decisions, but many others don't. Je'Michael should not have killed her. He deserves to be in prison, but if Dannie had also made some different choices, she might very well still be alive today.

I noticed too he made eye contact with the family when he was apologizing and during the one victim impact statement. That was unusual. However, I absolutely don’t believe his version of the story. I’m surprised his friend didn’t fess up with more details. I feel sorry for the grandpa. Even if he’d started looking for her within 15 minutes it would’ve been too late as he didn’t know she was at the creek. I’m sure that provides him with no comfort though. 3 Link to comment
sinycalone May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 Tonight's episode about the House on Pitch Pine Crescent.... Kind of unfair to hold off the info about the nasty, nasty custody dispute until after the first hour & 15 minutes. I would suspect that Bill Harrison's death was not investigated further because the coroner concluded it was a heart attack AND because the family did not press the police any further since the kids had been abducted and taken to Nova Scotia. Bridget was spending months trying to find those children and get them returned to the Toronto area. However, Bridget's death did seem to warrant more investigation than the police appeared to provide. While the family claims they did tell the police about the custody situation, I'm not so sure they persisted with that line of suspicion with enough conviction to convince the police On the other hand, the police could have done more to investigate Melissa and Chris' alibis, etc. For me the most disturbing aspect: that couple evidently murdered three people because they were not happy splitting custody with the Harrisons. And I suspect that they had absolutely no remorse. 17 Link to comment

She wasn't convicted in Bridget's death not because she was found not guilty but because it was a hung jury. Chris was convicted for both murders. I think Bill was murdered. It seems like he was beaten and locked himself in the bathroom to get away from Chris, where he died. But there was not enough evidence to prove it. So sad that two more people died at the hands of these monsters. Certainly they should have been caught after Bridget's murder as it seemed pretty obvious that it was not a fall if only from the way she was lying on the stairs. So ironic that they killed them all (IMO) to end up with custody of Caleb's kids, and in the end all 6 kids have no parents.

Tabbygirl521 May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 I have been googling my head off this morning to learn more about this case. I can’t link due to PHONE but am gleaning a bit more info on Projects.thestar.com. Investigators bungled this all so badly. They found a laptop left behind when the killers relocated, with a treasure trove of hideous internet search history like “easy ways to kill and get away with it” but their search and seizure was improper so all this was ruled inadmissible. No doubt in my mind that Bill was murdered, and that the two subsequent killings should have been prevented. What a sad and horrible story. 19 Link to comment
sinycalone May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 As I mentioned upthread, not so sure Bill's death involved a bungled investigation so much as no one (including the police) being absolutely sure it was a suspicious death. The coroner ruled it a heart attack....and the family got side-tracked trying to get the children back from Nova Scotia. Someone in the family (Bridget's brother?) stated he believed that Melissa was the mastermind behind it all. I totally agree....I think she manufactured the stories about Caleb being abusive when they separated...and just kept spinning tales to Chris about all the Harrisons being evil and a danger to the two kids. It is also possible she kept having kids to keep Chris in their relationship...and doing her bidding. 14 Link to comment
SunnyBeBe May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 Such a horrible story. That couple was pure evil, imo. When people are that horrific, it makes me wonder how they actually treat their kids. I wouldn't be so quick to paint them as loving parents. Whenever people are involved in child custody matters, they need to be very careful with their safety. I'm not sure when that fact will sink in. It causes high tempers, poor judgment and often brings out the worst in people. You really do need to protect your self and use all safety precautions, like doing custody exchanges in public places and limiting any other contact. There were so many things that went wrong with this case, I don't know where to start. Hopefully, it will be a textbook case that they use to teach professionals things you don't do. 10 Link to comment

I don't know why they had to frame this whole thing as a mystery. It could be just as compelling a story if they frame the whole thing around police incompetence - the family keeps pressing the authorities to look harder at the ex-wife and they either don't or can't for some reason until after Caleb is killed.

I was struck by the way the family was initially trying to reconcile Bridget's death by claiming she died of a broken heart. Really? That doesn't look like a "broken heart" kind of death to me, but okay. To say nothing of how the law enforcement people should've been more suspicious when they had to come out to that house a second time within a year to deal with another suspicious death. That should've definitely tipped off some serious alarm bells, right there. Quote So ironic that they killed them all (IMO) to end up with custody of Caleb's kids, and in the end all 6 kids have no parents. That's the part that always gets me about these "murder for custody" stories. I know these criminals never think they'll get caught (and with the bad investigating in this case, I can see where this particular couple actually thought they'd get away with it), but still... You're going through all this crap for something that, if you get caught, you'll lose for good anyway. I don't get how people think it's worth it. (I loved how Melissa and Chris were quietly discussing their crimes and Chris talking about how he was taking the fall with each other in that airport, too. Yeah, they didn't know they were being recorded, but if you really want to get away with your crimes, why are you discussing them in public at all, recording or no recording?) 3 hours ago, sinycalone said: Someone in the family (Bridget's brother?) stated he believed that Melissa was the mastermind behind it all.

glowbug May 21, 2018 Share May 21, 2018 I've been in the middle of a child custody case in my professional career as one of the child's advocates and all I can say is I'm not surprised three people ended up dead over child custody. I knew that Melissa was guilty as soon as she started suggesting (but then saying she wasn't suggesting when she clearly was) that Caleb was guilty of Bridget's death, just like I knew the boyfriend in the Creek case was guilty as soon as he suggested Dani (sp?) might have run away or committed suicide when she went missing. If you ever murder someone, never suggest another suspect, or suggest that it might not have been murder because it makes you look guilty as hell unless several other people are saying the same thing, and if it's not true then it's likely no one else is going to suggest your theory of the crime except maybe your family or friends who got their information from you. I thought Melissa and her boyfriend made a lot of stupid mistakes and if it weren't for police incompetence they wouldn't have gotten away with one murder let alone three. Melissa was manipulative and not entirely stupid but she also wasn't criminally sophisticated so she made a lot of errors. The boyfriend was beyond stupid for speaking with the police without an attorney present (if in Canada people have a right to an attorney). If I'm ever being questioned about a crime the first thing I do, whether I'm guilty or innocent, is demand an attorney and refuse to talk until I have one present. It's Law and Order 101. I was surprised Bridget and Bill were given partial custody when Caleb went to jail. Grandparents in the United States don't have many rights so it's rare for them to share custody with a parent or even be granted visitation if the child is in the custody of one of their parents. I was also surprised that Melissa was allowed to have unsupervised visitation or partial custody of the children after abducting them for eight months. I'm pretty sure that if she were in the United States she would not have been allowed to see the children after that, and she likely would have had a very lengthy prison sentence as a result. I often find the criminal justice system in the U.S. to be overly punitive but not when it comes to kidnapping or child abduction. 6 Link to comment
AnnieHeights May 21, 2018 Share May 21, 2018 I never see the people who kill in a custody battles as good but desperate parents who love their children, I see them as monsters who just want to win. It also kind of amazes me that the big oaf of a boyfriend and Melissa went on to have 4 more children together but obviously didn't have the financial means to support 6 children. How on earth would it not raise suspicion when an online 'benefactor' surfaces out of the blue to help them out financially? Just shocking how they took out an entire family one by one and police didn't check into it until the last one was killed? 15 Link to comment

SunnyBeBe May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 I agree that you can't rule things out like a motive for murder, because you personally don't think it makes sense. There are a lot of dense people out there and they do some pretty stupid things. In their mind, it makes sense. Like killing someone for insurance money, before you confirm that the policy is current. That happens sometimes. Oops. And murdering someone over custody matters is not uncommon. Murderers don't normally use a lot of logic and reasoning. They just want what they want. 12 Link to comment

There is another case I can think of where the parents of a woman killed her ex-husband because they wanted the grandchildren all to themselves. Can't remember the names. 5 Link to comment
SunnyBeBe May 23, 2018 Share May 23, 2018 There are quite a few of those out there. Just the other night there was one about the mother-in-law who dressed like a man and murdered her son's wife and mother of her grandchild, right in front of the Target! Right in front of the toddler too. They did catch her and she's serving life in prison. All because her adult son was getting visitation and she wanted him to have full custody of the baby. Then there's the grandparents who hired someone to shoot their son-in-law when he came to the door of his house, due to dispute with custody of the grandkids. 3 Link to comment
Enigma X May 23, 2018 Share May 23, 2018 I don't think this particular horrid case was ever on Dateline, but it was on a crime show on ID or something. A grandmother hired a hitman to kill her seven-year-old granddaughter, because the next week she was going to testify that her father (the grandmother's son) was molesting her. Luckily, the hitman had a line he wouldn't cross and contacted authorities. 7 Link to comment

I used to date a guy who lived outside Atlanta, and we were in that same Target earlier in the morning. I had nightmares for weeks. 4 Link to comment

This has happened in a few grocery stores and convenience stores in my area over the years. Even if they change it to a different store, I just can't escape the feeling. 1 Link to comment
