Crime Beat: Fatal façade - the murder of Dr. Elana Fric | S2 E6 

I really want to know what she loved on him? I could see on their wedding day, that he didn't love her. She was all smiles, full of happiness, and he barely cracked a smile. His patients knew him as a doctor, not as man and or husband, he wasn't their friend. Having an excellent job doesn't mean you are a good person. I hope he rots in jail, what a monster .

The most dangerous time is when the victim tells the abuser she is leaving him. Have an escape plan, don't tell him, be safe and never look back!

I'm one of the few that got away from their abusive husband. I'm alive by the Grace of God 💔🙏RIP all the women that didn't make it 😢

My husband was an abuser; ALL my family members and friends thought he was absolutely WONDERFUL, he was so cunning.

I feel so bad for Elana’s children. Their father can seek parole in 14 years. That is not justice. He deserves life without the possibility of parole. RIP Dr. Elana Fric 🥺😢

I feel this poor mother's anguish. Girls leave if your man even raises his hand once.. no one has the right to abuse you

To Elena’s mom: She knew how much you loved her. Anyone can see the love you had for her. 💜

I did my undergrad with Elana, hung out with her all the time, we had a small circle of friends, she was amazing. Everything she did appeared effortless. I hadn't spoken to her in years before I heard the news. Life just gets too busy. This was a huge loss for our society I don't understand people like him.

I dont know who needs to read these words but, if he strangles you during an argument its a sign you are eventually going to end up dead. This happened to me, it gets worse each time. Make a plan to leave and escape 🙏

She must've been a lovely woman if her mum is anything to go by, what an absolute sweetheart that lady is. My heart goes out to them all.

When she said "honey what marriage" that was really sad for some reason 😔

I hope anyone in a volatile relationship, please get help. They won’t change. You deserve life and happiness.

Her mom's tears broke my heart, RIP Elena.

That's why I don't believe all social media, fancy pictures, happy smiles, love and stuff like that. This is really fakebook.

This is so sad..she was a victim of domestic violence but she had her parents support- should've left him the moment he started being violent.

I can understand his patients feeling surprised, but none of them should have spoken up on his behalf without having the whole story. Abusers are often very charismatic with those outside the family. Having a stellar reputation is part of what they do to hide their crimes against women. He's where he belongs, but14 years seems like a really light sentence. P.S. Of course, it's not Elena's fault, but MY GOD. He threatened to throw his own infant daughter into the river & blame Elena. And she took him back, and even had two more children with that monster. WOMEN, PLEASE LEAVE. LEAVE AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. AND NEVER LOOK BACK.

I love the parents of Elana. They're so strong and warm. Especially in how they love and take care of their orphaned grandkids.

Anybody notice how she leaned in and happily kissed her husband at “you may kiss the bride” but he didn’t kiss her back?

''When someone shows you who they are , believe them the first time' Maya Angelou. Damn right!

I got away from my ex husband. It was not easy it had to be done. Thank you for sharing this story may Elana rest in perfect peace.

Ana is the typical Slavic Gran (Baka is Croatian for Gran) - brimming with love, kindheartedness and the wisdom you gain from a life filled with hard work...and she probably makes a baklava worth fighting over 😉

Just cause your a high ranking doctor or title to a job doesn't mean you dont have an evil side.

Ana should not feel sad about not having been able to tell Elana she loved her one last time. Elana knew 💗

I'm so glad Elana's parents have her children. I think that's the best place, the most loving home, they could ask for after all of this.

You gotta wonder how proud his parents are now. They played a role in having such high expectations of their children. This is what happens when you breed a malignant narcissist who cares for no one above himself. He doesn't even care about his own children, whom he clearly resented.

NARCISSISTS ARE NEVER SATISFIED AND DESTROY EVERYTHING ALONG THE WAY AS THEY ACHIEVE/CONTROL.

Ladies if your husband or partner is abusive leave immediately and don’t tell them.

You can see at the wedding his body language wasn’t the same as hers the love was not mutual. Once again it’s the children who suffer. I’m just relieved they have excellent grandparents to look after them, the children are probably a blessing to them in the excruciatingly painful loss of their daughter.. 🙏 to you all for the future

Just watch the wedding that says it all, he did not feel the same way she did, what he did to her was absolutely despicable. Her mother is so clearly heartbroken, my heart goes out to her. He deserves life, meaning life.

Absolutely devastating. I feel extremely sorry for the children. That man is a monster.

RIP Dr. Fric. Our society puts an immense amount of pressure on women to be perfect. The perfect wife. The perfect mother. The perfect career woman. A hard lesson to learn is that your happiness and peace is more important than the image you struggle to produce. For anyone out there struggling with self-worth/self-image I have one thing to say to you. YOU ARE ENOUGH. Life is too short and too precious not to live genuinely. I speak from personal experience and have never been happier.

Wow, is Anna's mother ever insightful!

My ex boyfriend was super possessive n I was head over heels in love. But my father was not at all convinced later his intuition was proved soo correct.. I am thankful for giving me such a great father

The husband looks so stoic in the wedding videos Don't believe everything you see on social media, guys 🙅🏻

For a neurosurgeon, he isn’t very smart.

My god, this was utterly devastating. You can feel her poor mother's heartache.

No one lives a fairytale....no one.

Please get out. I almost didn’t. I remember the night that I thought was my last, and my baby daughter was sleeping in the next room. You and your drams are worth it. Your children are worth it. Your family is worth it. You are brave enough to do it.

Just b/c someone is a doctor, doesn’t mean they aren’t violent to their loved ones.

It's absolutely heartbreaking to see the mothers pain, especially when she spoke about how she didn't recognise her daughters body at first, my heart goes out to her 🙏❤️

if anyone hits you in a relationship, run from that person, protect yourself and never look back

Almost always the most dangerous time of a relationship that involves domestic violence....when one partner is ending things. So tragic.

Of all the husband abuse then murder stories, this one has affected me most. I feel sick to the stomach about what he put her through their entire relationship

He will be out in 14 years. Way to go Canada.

This is so scary how these women are completely in love with these men and then these men turn around and murder them it's just scary

The body language at the wedding spoke volumes....

Controlling person, He shouldve been lifting her up rather than breaking her down. insecure person

He should never practise as a surgeon again!

My ex was such a nice 👍 Man too everybody but he was the Devil 👿 in the home 🏡

Sociopaths and narcissists are never sorry. They don't care about anyone.

I remember this story. He is pathetic. RIP to Elana and bless her children and family.

My boyfriend was sweet to my family and friends but was a devil towards me.

He’s a monster as a mom myself I feel her mother’s pain Rest In Peace Dr.Elena

His body language at the wedding... he was so out of it and not happy at all

God bless the children and all their supporters. The father not only killed a beautiful soul but also damaged three beautiful little souls. 🙏🙏🙏

His ego, controlling ways and then rejection, couldn't handle it so he killed, the bastard. What's the point of years of studying to become a doctor then then be a asshole behind close door. RIP Elaina 🙏

The most dangerous time is when you're leaving. WIth a history of DV, it is important to be careful at that time. She thought she was safe because of his job...but when someone is in a rage or having revenge fantasies, their career is not something they are thinking of...they are just driven by emotion. Don't rationalize an abuser's "good side." The bad side will win out. My story is here on YT and I got out of an abusive relationship. During our last physical fight, I was sure someone was going to die. I managed to get out. I'm sorry Elana didn't get out. I have called Facebook, Fakebook for years now. It's important to be honest, at least with your friends, and let people know what was going on. Rest in Peace, Elana.

The daughter was so brave to speak the truth about her father. I am happy that the children have amazing grandparents.

Never envy other couples, just pray and Ask God to bless yours instead.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Mrs Fric. Elana seems like such a great person. Her kids are lucky to be in such a loving home now.

What's wrong with Canadian justice system... Why is it so lenient? Does anybody know? I'm just lost for words.

I feel so bad for Dr. Fric's mother and father ! How sad to lose their miracle baby but at least they have their grandchildren ! 😞

Just about any time a woman disappears and her husband or boyfriend says "she ran off with another guy", they usually find out he did something to her. So sad!!! I hate that poor Elana thought she was safe because her husband would never sacrifice his career. Unfortunately this type of murder is rage induced and defies logic and intelligence.

Typical narcissist. His parents must be proud.

I'm in shock!! I worked for this doctor as her receptionist for 5 years! What!!!! I can't believe she was murdered 😲

The people with the most amounts of "proof of the perfect love story" on social media are usually the ones suffering in silence. Nobody has a perfect marriage. My parents had pretty close for almost 60 years. They NEVER had flowery words or staged photos. They loved each other til the moment they died. My mum still got butterflies of excitement every time he walked in the room. They were 100% committed to each other and their children. They did not need to convince the rest of the world. The 5 of us knew in our souls that we were loved and if we needed anything, we are the 1st person in each other's lives to call. Facebook, no thank you. It's for liars and cheats. I don't need to tell the world who I love, that person knows it and that's all that matters. Ladies, get away from these monsters. They don't change EVER and your life is not the price you should pay for love. There's help out there, get it and get away.

That mother is one sharp cookie. She knew immediately everything that didn't add up.

I can imagine the grief her mother is going through poor woman and the consolation of taking care of her children.

Her mom is such a sweet women 😭

The mother crying over her lost daughter just broke me

“..oh honey, how we miss you…” - Ana Fric, mother/grandmother, Babka. My eyes welled up with tears at that part. “Do you know where your mom is? She’s in heaven? Does she look down at us? Rest in peace forever.Oh honey how we miss you.“ Yep, that just about killed me.

That poor mother - she knew her daughters husband was a predator. The loss is too great for words..... Those kids are better off now unfortunately. Elena was A martyr for their family

The neighbour with the long blond hair seems really sweet. It must feel awful to be providing emotional support to a friend whom you know is being abused and then to have that friend be murdered by their abuser. She's pretty clearly wracked with guilt over it.

I looooove Elana’s mom!!!!! My heart goes out to this family!!!

My goodness, that poor mother ... she really broke my heart.

What a great mother and father Elena had and such a brave daughter Jasmine!

man, i FELT that mothers pain!! i wish i could wave a magic wand and take ALL her pain away for her......

He is dead behind his eyes.

I live in Windsor as well, my daughters father tried to kill me, luckily that wasn’t the case. I know first hand how awfully frusterating the whole domestic violence situation can be in southern Ontario. You guys are in our prayers

I am sorry for the family..but the mother is outstanding, loving and caring, she is so nice. Wish them the best. R.i.p.Elana Fric

Elana’s eldest daughter is so strong and i wish her the best for a bright future ahead of her. The children are in good hands with Elana’s parents. 🙏🏼

Poor mom, my heart is breaking for her.

Jasmine is such a lovely articulate young woman. I wish the best in life for her and her siblings

Parole possible in 14 years? That's not justice.

Some men are more comfortable with the dark ages. They can’t handle an independent woman. ❣️

The perfect power couple -in social media..

So heart breaking we leave in the world where a person's life is not valued. Rest in peace elana and may ur family find courage to move on

Wow,a great mom Ana is, your English is so understandable, you are such a great influence, picking up the pieces, this is so strengthening to you and your grand baby's, keep doing what you are doing, its working

That’s a good one “Fakebook ” 😂😂😊

I pray that God wraps this family in his loving arms and give them strength, peace, and courage at this time. This video really hit me hard. I have a family member going through a physically and emotionally abusive relationship. I pray she has the strength to leave this person.

He was a topical narsistic person..and at that toxic relationship the end will be always a horrible tragedy..sad that she was trapped ..she will never escape from her sad fate 😔

I cried at the end.. and told Elena that I am so sorry.. she didn’t deserve to go the way she did. This broke my heart. RIP Elana Fric.

To the mom what a beautiful mother you are - you shared the hard things - may your life be fully blessed and may your life be graced with much mercy

I for to know Elana because I worked in rhe Junior Kindergarten class borh her girls attended. She was very sweet and loved to have a chat and she loved her children so very much. I met her husband several times during school functions and I always found him to be aloof and somtimes rude. Just a note here for clarity sake. Elana's was pronounced E lana not Elaina. Yasmine's name is pronounced Yas meen. I would have thought that through all the interviews someone would have figured that out. Lastly, Yasmine if you ever read this, I am so very sorry rhat you and your siblings lost your sweet mom. I think of you often. Love Miss Kathie

If only people didn't feel like they had to sound so perfect and fill their social time with small talk.

Elana's parents and children are amazing, I hope the future with their grandchildren brings only beautiful events and memories.

Thank God the kids are with the Grandma & Grandpa...they are so loved xx😥

Best crime doc on RU-vid. No silly editing, crisp. Great presenter too!

Best crime episodes on here! Plus no ads is a double plus!

Old story- No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Things looked great from the ouside , but ... I enjoy the Grandparents of those kids- so clear eyed and wise.
