Couple Adopted Their Own Killer | The Case of the Shaughnessy Family 

🥺🥺

Bit of a late reply but I think this is absolutely incredible! You should be so proud of yourself! Watching true crime videos like this inspired me to become a forensic investigator and I got offers for university although I didn’t get the grades to get on the courses . I’ve completed a year in uni doing youth work but now my dream is to become a paramedic after seeing how many lives were saved hearing stories like these❤

This comment 😢

I don't understand why Nick didn't just start working for Ted or something? With enough time and effort he could have been a valuable asset to the family business, which he likely would have inherited anyway! Greedy.

@@nutbuster66684 He’s a snobby, entitled monster who’s been given way too many opportunities and lived life on easy mode. Why work your ass off at your dad’s store when you can become rich day trading and doing jack sh*t the remaining 80% of the day? I mean he’d been handed the winning lottery ticket at the orphanage. Imagine getting adopted from Ukraine as a baby and then to grow up in a loving home and have a comfortable childhood without money problems. What more could you want? Just proves that psychopaths are born, not made. But his lack of emotional connection, no guilty conscience and his devilish greed for money helped push him over the edge

@@nutbuster66684 My guess is they overindulged Nick which led to his entitled attitude. Its likely they suggested him working in the fam business but he didnt want to because he wanted all the benefits but not the work.

Couldn't agree more

Omfg why was I thinking this when it was first mentioned in the video!!

With 19 years old!

and adopt you meaning to choose you over your blood to have you.. so heartbreaking 💔

My father who was moving had a mirror in his garage I said dad I need that mirror,he said give me $10 😮I'm like huh he said I could sell that in a garage sale 😕😅 So yea not many parents will or can do that!

ive listened to a lot of true crime so things don't usually shock me anymore but... wow that phone call brought me to tears. horrible.

I had shivers I’ve heard a lot of 911 calls and watched alot of true crime but this is truly the saddest thing I’ve ever heard 😭she can’t even speak

Omg this comment made me so emotional 😢 how u worded this made me realize I would feel the exact same why about my partner. I could never move on knowing the legacy of his life included that chapter in it. I would be heartbroken forever.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Usually it seems like people fall on family in times like this, but wtf do you do when your family was a part of the murder? I can’t imagine how she feels. I’d need to be on self-exit watch for a long, long time if my partner was murdered. I couldn’t live without my other half.

😢

😿😿😿

Hope it doesn't happen to you then.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine having someone I don’t know talking about my family. Bella always shows lots of respect and compassion. I hope you feel that from her. Rest In Beautiful Peace

@@lynnsmith3112 thank you, I appreciate your comment 🩷

I hope that you are doing well. Sending hugs to you

I thought the same thing! I can't imagine her sadness and anger at what the child she loved so much did to her. Ultimate betrayal.

I love it!!💛🥰

Yes, she is so incredibly strong, my heart breaks for her

true

There really is! I can think of 3 off the top of my head! The one I never can get over is the one where the dad, who had been shot, got up to get ready for work but dropped dead after getting the paper. Can’t remember the last name but remember it’s Italian. And it was his son and the refuses to give up on her son even though it was proved he shot her too. What I wouldn’t have given to have loving, supportive parents!

Her face was so funny when she said that 😂😂😂

@@melinasantos7680 I watched 4x, it was funny and also so true 😂😂

Yes omggg I live in Texas and I was lolll😂😂😂

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I THOUGHT THE SAME THIINNGGGGGG

I agree. That is really strange.

Literally so cringe ugh!

Right! What a weirdo! Acting like a toddler hyped up on sugar.

So much CRINGE!

I’ve seen so many of these cases where people kill because they financially fucked the selves over and they panic. Not a good excuse considering plenty of people are in the same situation and don’t murder, BUT it does make me observe people a little closer. Like, I’m poor anyway but it’s scary that people will kill to get themselves out of debt or poverty.

That is interesting but also horrible because it subconsciously affects people to not trust crows or those in poverty who need their help

Acıma yetime döner koyar götüne….

​@@SpijenIt always seems to happen because of greed. I remember tons of cases where the kid or kids murdered their parents for money. One that I recall also killed his sister, so that he wouldn't have to split the inheritance with her. The female children usually do it because their parent or parents are trying to protect them from a boyfriend who is a bad influence.😢

@@MadgeGreen yeah I totally see the pattern as well. Honestly, money can make people think terrible things. My mom committed financial fraud with my name/ssn so many times over the years that I owe a few thousand at LEAST that’s all from her stealing my info and saying she didn’t know how it happened. Recently I caught myself so mad at her I wanted to beat her ass, and I’m not even a violent person. I feel bad for even thinking that now that I’m cooled down, but that shows you just how badly things can get for people who are very violent in nature and/or are in an insane amount of debt/could inherit hella money. It’s scary, and why you should always be careful about money around people. There’s that whole case of a woman giving her friend like $30k to hold onto for her, but the friend spent it all and instead of telling the woman this when asked for the money back, the “friend” killed the woman instead. So fricking sad.

Are you working in the govt?

Congratulations 👏 well done

Wow! That's awesome! Cheers to you, I hope you have the experience of helping many people in your work.

Love this for you!!

Congrats 🥳 I’m thinking about it too! Where did you study and was it hard?

I don't understand why police is always so triggered by insurance policy claims. It's stated in the policy that you need to claim immediately after you incur the loss under the policy, otherwise they preserve the write not to pay.

@@Elena_______police look for motives to help them solve the crime, money is often a motive so that’s why they think claiming the insurance money is suspicious

😢

That phone call recording broke my heart 😞

That was heartbreaking. I broke down too. Such a good lost by greed 😢

Omg this was me too ugh he's awful

I mean the title of the video gives it away…😂

That comment makes no sense 😅 how would they kill them when they were killed first?? They would not get any money if the goal was to kill the gun men😅😅😅😅

I think with the photo of the family with two kids in it- and her not focusing on the son as a suspect for so long- I was like is there a son she’s not talking about to build suspense?? 😅

I was just about to comment the same thing! Not born and raised here, but currently living here and never heard of it!

Same all my life! and never heard of this

You guys get guns for birthdays and give it to children, but you dont read papers and news and learn things 😅

Is this the one they made a film of it with Kerri Russel? That was so sad 😢

@jbrady445 no I'm pretty sure that movie was based on the murder of Adrienne Shelly

@jbrady445 Michele Avila's case is sadly mostly unknown I don't think any movies have been based on it

​@@jbrady445 the michele avila movie has Tiffani Amber Thiessen and Patty Duke. I think it's called A Killer Among Friends.

Idk I've seen quite a few true crime stories where an adopted child turned out to be the perpetrator against their family. Maybe there are common factors regarding emotional development and the ability to bond with adopted parents.

Right! There are so many cases of biological children killing their parents but you don't see people saying stop having children because they may become killers

I've just read about Laura, my goodness it breaks my heart. Her poor family. I really really hope that some online creators cover her case as it seems like one of those "someone must know something" cases.

What about the kids who aren't adopted?

I was just thinking the same thing

Yes! I find it so strange when people say they are so happy she has posted. But the video is about people who have died

It's always rubbed me the wrong way, don't get me wrong I love Bella but it's a bit much sometimes.

I think people are more appreciative of the information, research, format etc etc that Bella puts into reporting these cases to us. Rather than being hyped up about what she is reporting about. But idk I could be wrong.

We are just appreciating her hard work

Mmm sounds possible.

I’m thinking Jackie convinced him to marry her to secure her finances. Maybe something would have happened to nick next. Who knows.

at least hes in jail unlike jackie
