So, he gave her jaded filed to listen to that no normal father would have ever wanted his child to hear. But, it wasn't until several years away from him that as she was becoming a young woman, very much her Mama's daughter, she listened to the restored files, saw the deleted footage, and could place all the puzzle pieces together on her own.

This case brought up a lot of red flags that i missed in my own relationship. When this happened, it actually helped me see the similarities. The gaslighting. The recording. The attempts to turn family and make them think that you're crazy. And the fights. Pushing your buttons til you lose it and push back, then they record you screaming and yelling. It can happen so gradually that you start to think maybe it is you, maybe you really are the cause for all the bad things happening in the relationship. After i kicked out my ex, I was still paying for his bills and buying food. I'd cook him dinners. Thats when he started getting desperate and unpredictable. One time he had grabbed me by the throat and shoved me back towards the balcony, which was on the 10th floor. After that, i would text my sister or a friend every time i went in, and i tried never to go there. I also recorded, just in case. I ended up using the recordings and texts to get a no contact order. Havent seen him in 5 years and i still dread running into him someday. Sorry for the long post. It just makes me queasy every time i hear this case. Anyone out there who may be in a similar situation, you know this isnt how love should be. You know this at the back of your mind, in your heart. You know in your gut that you deserve better.

You are bearing false-witness. What proof do you have that he was able to manipulate his daughters. That he may have murdered his wife, I can not bear witness. But, I can say in good faith that the allegations against him may be false. Yes, they may be true, but the evidence does not prove but only provides suspicion that he conspired to persecute his wife. The same may be true that another may have committed the act, and Nique may have been directly involved in her own demise. I agree that if he had committed the murder it would be terrible and the only judge of the truth would be God himself. As it is, there was nothing but suspicion and it is as likely that an innocent man may have been wrongly prosecuted. I do not declare him innocent, yet the law should have assumed it until it could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. There, indeed, is doubt.

There are several KZreadrs that have covered this case and I’ve seen them all but this one is by far the best. Thanks for doing it in a respectful way for the victim and her family. This video brought back so many horrible memories of how my stepdad used to beat on my mom. I remember many nights laying in bed and hearing their fights and always worrying about my mom. My stepdad had the worst attitude especially when drunk. One night making up they decided to go to the casinos and my stepdad ended up loosing a lot of money playing blackjack, my mom would only play video poker but of course for some reason he blamed my mom for all the money he lost. On the 2 hour drive back home they began to argue. He got so mad that he pulled over on the side of the interstate an hour away from home and yanked my mom out of the car then left her on the side of the road in the middle of a tropical storm. I remember waking up when he got home and when I realized she wasn’t with him I started crying because I thought he had done something really bad to her. When I woke up the next morning thankfully she was there. That same day we packed our things and left, my mom had had enough. I know that had she stayed with him it was only a matter of time before he did the unthinkable. My heart breaks for this family I can’t imagine the grief they had to endure after losing their mother only to find out their dad was the one responsible.

I feel like I'm reading my very well hidden diary. The cameras, the constant accusations, the flipping out ifwe go ONE day without sex, regardless if I'm on my cycle, or am sick with a 101 fever...the family 360 app GPS saying I'm at work, but he calls my work phone to accuse me of not being at work, while he turns his GPS off constantly and disappears for hours then comes back to stay up all night, waking me up from a dead sleep at 4AM to accuse me of stealing his pills or moving his things or cheating because we didn't have sex that night so "WHO IS IT!" just because I fell asleep waiting for him to come to bed...IT'S EXHAUSTING AND INSANE.

God help you. You’re still with this man ?? I was married to a man with bipolar schizophrenia with severe paranoia. I left him after 3 years with my 2 year old and newborn. I couldn’t take the accusations, the constant yelling and stalking etc. same behavior. Even decided baby wasn’t his. It was his bosses who I never even met. ?? He got baker acted. Months later his psychiatrist called me and told me I was in danger and I should leave him. I was leaving anyways, that just gave me the push I needed. It was still hell for years after that. He never saw kids. Never kept them one hour. Never paid child support but I was ok with that. I was happy he didn’t take me to court for visitation rights. God my stomach hurts thinking of all the craziness with that man. You should leave yours ASAP! Everyone deserves to live in peace and happiness.

Yeah before he murdered her she still Allowed this loser to be shitty to her kids..

it's crazy how he recorded these situations over so much time (weeks, months? Years??) it makes it seem that he planned to kill her for a very long time... it's eery

When i first sought counsel for my prior relationship, i was in disbelief. The therapist told me i was on a dangerous fast track to winding up another victim. She described my ex's "patterns of control" and inability to regulate himself as a tell tale sign of what was to come. Yes i was extremely depressed, isolated from everyone and being highly controlled but the idea of him physically abusing, let alone murdering me seemed laughable. Within maybe 3 years of being told this, the prophecy came true. He was mentally unwell and would have psychotic episodes and blackouts. He was arrested 3 times in 6 months for a variety of assaults, property damage and disorderly behaviour. It ended when he destroyed my entire apartment, nearly killed himself and thought he had murdered me. Thankfully I wasn't even home (he was that unwell) and he dragged an old door to garbage bins instead of me. He confessed to the police that he had "done something to his girlfriend" despite me standing there right next to them.

So glad you're ok now

That's gotta be wild to be arrested 4 years after a murder. You really thought you got away with it, but you're totally screwed.

I am so glad he got life without parole. He will never see anyone in his family again. It's so great that they got back in touch with each other and rebuilt what this man had taken away. Their mum would have been so proud of them❤

Pathological jealousy is no joke. Poor woman.

It really goes to show; calm doesn’t always mean right. Emotional doesn’t always mean wrong. People keep thinking this, but so many times the emotional person has genuinely been hurt, and then scrutinized for getting emotional about it… Happens all the time and I’m sick of it.

This video is exactly the story of my friend, Suzanne. She was murdered by her husband. Her body was found about a year and half later. Her husband convinced police she left. There wasnt enough evidence to convict.

Ridiculous. Women have the courts on their side for everything and usually get full custody. Women are the ones that are believed blindly when they make accusations. Stupid post is stupid.

I love how it only took the jury 3.5 hours to decide he was guilty. They must of had many agreements in that back room.

I’m so happy they were able to be a family again, My sister and I were separated when I was 5 years old and seeing her again at age 20 and having her a part of my life has made my life feel complete so I can imagine the feeling and the love they are going through.. I’m also happy the dad was found guilty and will never ever see freedom again

The one time the husband wasnt immediately the suspect...🤦‍♀️ So glad the girls all got the truth even as horrific as it is. And they all look SO much like their mom🤗💙

The way she was yelling, get away from me now, with such strength in her voice, you knew she knew him. She would of been scared of a stranger and it would of been in her voice.

Unfortunately many families have a malignant narcissist like these girls endured The malignant narcissist always tries to make you feel like your the reason why everything is a nightmare even though it is the narcissist manipulation

📌Dude was on some next level craziness. Ladies and Gentlemen, always pay attention to signs and signals no matter how small, because that's how it starts most of the time. Good luck!

Had seen this story before on Dateline and always hoped that the family would heal and get back together. It's absolutely wonderful to see them back together again. God bless them and their mother may she rest in paradise 🌺⚖️

Those poor girls who had to tolerate their father’s evil manipulations. I hope their mum rest in price peace and they are able to move on in life .

Absolutely heartbreaking.This evil man not only murdered his wife but brainwashed his teenage kids against their poor mother!!!

Imagine having sex with someone you feel forced to? To keep the peace?!ugh. Nope. Major red flags.

He should also get child abuse tacked on. What an awful human being!

Oh wow. God Bless and Protect those young ladies... This video is so well done, so respectful. Excellent work. This brings honour to these strong young women and I love that. It is an honor to this mama's memory.

This is not only tragic...it is very very sad. A man who not only killed his wife but manipulated his children and tore apart the family. I wish healing for the 3 sisters and their families. May the soul of their mum rest in peace.

Thank you for sharing this story. It’s so important for victims of abuse to hear this, and find a safe way out of their situation. My heart goes out to the family, it’s heartbreaking 😢 ☮️💖🙏

What a sad and difficult story this was. So sad for the girls. What a manipulator. This was so extremely premeditated. I'm upset that wasnt mentioned but with how long it took to realize the level of crazy this guy was just Thankful for the digital forensic team to do the work they did. No mother abandons their children like that. RIP.

I want to thank the family for sharing this video. I was a victim as well. Keep strong and keep your mother memory stronger. im proud of you girls

I feel so nad for poor Amanda.... 😢 Thats a lot for a 14 year old to have to go through. All the kids really suffered here & these ladies know real strenght ❤

I don't think enough credit is given to these detectives and the tedious task of going through 60+ hours a week going through the surveillance and recordings. I heard of this case before and is just realizing that her murder was totally premeditated.

I'll never forget how hard she fought for Emani Moss, a talented, beautiful little girl who was starved to d3ath.

13:50. He makes their daughter make the “baby come back, I don’t want a divorce” phone call!!!!!! What a piece of trash.

Dad actually looks like he dropped out of school in 9th grade 😬

As a survivor, hearing this, and I generally quote: “its difficult but there is a way to heal”. Gives me hope toward my self healing.

Alex reminds me so much of my own older sisters. They had to get out of our home for their own wellbeing, and leaving was the hardest decision they had ever made. So much love to her and hope that her healing journey has been fruitful.

So happy the sisters are in the process of healing, together ! You girls have your whole lives ahead of you! Never stop being family,hang on to each other tight! prayers and peace!

That was beyond heartbreaking and heartwrenching - the daughter crying as she ran from the woods into her sister's arms, the sister trying to go to her mother, Nique's mom breaking down while being interviewed - brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely devastating. If that monster of a man had *truly* loved his children he would've never taken their mother from them. What a selfish, insecure "man" Matt is, thinking of nothing but himself in true narcissistic fashion, exposing his daughter to further trauma by having her listen to all the footage from the fights her parents had, smearing the daughter's memory of her mom with all his manipulation. No thought for anyone but himself. What's done in the darkness *will* be brought to light and lying murderers will eventually be exposed for exactly who they truly are. Thankful to God that justice was served here.

It’s so sad to blame the 2 young girls who were being completely manipulated by their father to believe lies about their mother. Children are very gullible, especially to someone who they love and trust. They didn’t even know how they were being controlled by him. He was doing this their whole lives. They had to be totally removed from him and shown the hard evidence, be able to think it through WITHOUT his influence and come to the conclusion on their own without anyone telling them what actually occurred. That was the ONLY way they could truly understand what their father was honestly like and what he did. Thank goodness they did.

This one was pretty straightforward but it took the authorities 4 years to arrest him somehow. Not only that, he almost got away with the murder. Tragic.

Knowing that he was guilty and proving it are two different things. And in the US, they only have one shot to prove he’s guilty due to double jeopardy.

Malignant narcissists over and over use the same tactics to portray their victims as the problem. I grew up in such a dysfunctional family and then married a person who used similar tactics. I got away with my life but my ex won custody. In the end my daughter committed suicide to escape her mother.

*Gosh you guys had me in tears with this one. Thank you*

I lived the same situation as those girls up until the night my father started beating my mother and while she was on the floor with bruises on her face, and had me 12 years old and my 7 year old brother watching, he asked if we knew where a rope was to hang her. I told him i knew where it was ( had no idea, i just wanted him to get out of the room so she can leave) and took him to show. My mother ran out and managed to get to a neighbor and get help and call the police. She left him that day. I am sure he would have killed her. I have not spoken to him the last 7 years.

These girls are amazing. Their mom would be incredibly proud of each of them ❤❤❤

It’s frustrating how long it can take sometimes to get all of the evidence examined. Glad it finally happened. It’s such a shame that he was free to manipulate those girls. I COULD NEVER put my kids through that. Especially going on the stand to lie for him 🤮

The way you present these people's stories and relay their pain is so heartfelt and kind as well as intriguing. This is a sad case. 💔

I love this channel. So much. I consider myself a pretty diehard true crime fan, my boyfriend often remarks on it "any time I find something I think will be new and interesting for you, you already know it!" Well! I do not know quite a few from your channel here! Thank you! And the respect and empathy for victims is so appreciated, as someone who has lost an aunt to a horrible murder almost 15 years ago. Until you live through something like it.. it's truly unimaginable the pain one goes through.

I'm glad he was found guilty.. Amanda is lucky her mothers side of the family forgave her! That was messed up

I never went through the hurt they did to this extent but I did get hurt by both my parents all because they couldn't sort out their shit on their own and I understand how these poor girls feel. I hope that man does not feel peace ever again.

Manipulating.. using the children.. trying to get her committed.. it’s all extremely scary. The cameras alone are scary. I wish she could have left. So heartbreaking 💔 I just heard the recordings of him locking her in a room 😢

You make very compelling documentaries. Amazing work. This story made my heart heavy to see the extent of this devil's abuse of his wife and children.

So glad the sisters are reunited. Family is the ultimate foundation to find yourself again in such a situation as theirs and but sadness behind you, move forward into the sunshine. Bitterness will not accompany any of them now. TX for this. Greetings from South Africa

I can’t even imagine going through all this as a kid. I hope this family knows how many people care about them. It’s such a horrible story… but in so glad these girls got away with their lives.

I’ve known about this case for years and always felt so bad for how manipulated the two younger daughters were. I always hoped they would come to realize the truth and I’m so glad they have.

Poor Amanda. Being manipulated like that, forced to go through all that footage & audio - absorbing all that abuse, then just be dumped by him… so glad she was able to reunite with her sister & aunt.
