Ex-Wife Arrested After Roadblock Ambush Murder | Shanna and Jared Bridegan Case Analysis 

100%. People may argue that point with you but they do not argue from a place of fact. I work in child protection for the busiest county in a middle state. On an average day we see about 100 new reports called in to our hotline. I am not exaggerating that of those 100 reports at least 30 are motivated by a spiteful mother or a spiteful grandmother. The majority of these reports are called in by females. There is something so _abhorrent_ about mostly women using their children to settle scores and it doesn't come from a place of love for their children. It comes from a place of utter hatred of the father. Especially when there is another woman involved. It is frightening.

@@QuinnieMaeit happens the other way around too. Men report false accusations all the time …..

​@@QuinnieMaehow many kids were @bused, r@ped and killed because of your tunnel vision? Whether the reporter be Mom or Dad, Grandma or Grandpa?

@@MellowBellow1see how much you can’t just own how ridiculous some women can be? The comment provided a direct experience and you couldn’t help but interject a ‘yeah but men’. The comment never said only women or never men but here you are….

@@MellowBellow1men have more options. They are far more likely to do dispicable things than a woman, no one can argue that. You just see women using children as a weapon bc it’s what they have to work with. The OP. doesn’t see the sociological context and understand why one thing being more likely than the other proves sexism. If more men were involved w their kids, then you’d see them weaponize their kids. Men are repeatedly the more selfish self-serving sex and they’re way more likely to transgress. They do it on their own terms.

It just goes to show no matter how long you plan a murder, you're gonna get caught.

@@grak1396No, this isn’t funny. This is serious.

She looks the part too

@@kyleboulanger170well her plan was shitty, using people near you to do the dirty work

I really dont think they give 2 shits I think that they ONLY think about themselves

They think they are like some kind of Mafia and drunk on the power of their money which is landing them in jail.

NO

Do they ever, leaving behind these obvious clues and motivation, think that they will get away with it? They are morons.....

The fellers she had to act out the murder are low IQ

It most often is with women

Yes, ego and envy of Jared living a good life. And still her parents are enabling her as evidenced by their paying for out of state move.

Agreed.

Very well said

Spot on, but I would add, notice she didn’t land the personal trainer (and why would he want a single mommy of two, he’s a young personal trainer), he hit it and quit it. She ended up with a short maintenance man. Her ex husband was a successful guy. He won the divorce in her mind

She’s still alive, so she didn’t orphan her children. Jail isn’t death.

@@slconleyI disagree! They are orphans. One parent is dead and the other is incarcerated and probably never getting out. She can’t parent those children properly in prison. They have no parents.

@@vwboymom85 they can receive calls, letters and can visit their mother. It’s not ideal but many other mothers stay in communication with their children from prison. Even lifers…

@@slconley - She May as well be dead. Either way, her children have lost both parents.

​@@slconleyfunctionally they are orphans. Don't be pedantic.

Yeah, I remember when this story hit the news (I saw it in the Daily Mail, I only read the finest news), I got about two lines in and thought, "Yeah, the wife was clearly behind this." I know she was spoiled and evil, but how could she think she'd ever get away with this?

@ressljs thinking back any thing that really made me mad was the husband's parents were completely cut off from their grandparents. Imagine knowing this woman took your sons life and now she's taking your grandchildren.

As someone else commented they HAD moved on supposedly! But the set idea in Shannon's head was for Jared to be gone! Totally skipping over that other little girl in Jarad's vehicle! To me that is almost as bad as killing!

​@@bthomsonp

​@@bthomsonand that little girl is literally her daughters blood sister

How horrific for the children… I pray that all the children are able to have a relationship and that they are all protected. These wicked, evil, murderous spouses seem to never consider the ramifications for the innocent children. It’s so sad.

@@mrs.elentz2336many times the grandparents from the mother’s side will take it care of the children. In this case is not easy to say it, because they do have money and how you will fight that? It is so sad, sad.

Parents enabled her demonic behaviour!

Actually, it is the death penalty in Florida ..and still they did it..

They don’t care they are demons

Well, these creeps are not normal

She thought she was going to get away with it. And honestly I hold my breath until the jury delivers the guilty verdict. With her families money they can buy a lot of high-powered lawyers not that it matters because it’s probably the evidence, but still, if you watch another, Dr. grande is vids you know crazy stuff happens on appeal

She still could get away with it. Something’s tell me she’s going to act like she didn’t know what her husband was up to. She went and got her the best attorney in Florida

Well I think you answered the first part of your comment with the later half.

Another classic psychopath.

Shanna didn't want to share custody of her children or deal with Jared in any way. She wanted them all to herself, forever.

The custody case was the motive. She wanted more than shared custody, as Dr. Grande stated, she felt she deserved more than Jared.

Her family is rich and bought her a mansion in WA after Jared was killed. This wasn't about the money. It was all about the custody. Shana didn't want to share custody with Jared and she was also bitter that he had moved on with his life and had a happy life with his new family. Shana was the one that cheated on him and he didn't forgive her and divorced and she never let it go.

+1

There are no balanced takes here.

Dr Grande has some pretty garbage takes actually

Narcissism. "My vengeance is more important than anything else, including my children".

Dumb statement evil has no boundaries I know someone stabbed someone while being sex assaulted. The victim went to jail because attempted murder is attempted murder no matter what u think self defense or stand your ground is not law in every state. Evil has no conscience.

She was wrong I was not talking about her she was a spoiled rich narcissist

And look at the crime data, the amount of unsolved cases are going through the roof in the USA

Easier said, "People are extremely complicated and unpredictable."

Look at Shanaan and Chris Watts, everything was Normal until he met the homewrecker, then he killed his pregnant wife and kids. You cannot predict the future when you are in love

@@Ellieangel777 He lied to that woman and said he was separated/had filed for divorce, no? I have a hard time seeing her as a 'homewrecker,' it's not her job to make him be faithful and truthful in his marriage. That's on him, not her. Here's the thing about the Wattses - even Shannan admitted in her social media videos that she was very hard on him. She said she'd even specifically been mean to him ("tortured him") before they were married. Both of them were people who were fairly immature and couldn't communicate very effectively. Chris bottled everything up; Shannan bothered him more when he stopped responding, even though it was clear he wanted to be left alone. Now, was he right to kill her and particuarly their poor kids? No, of course not. But people act like it was this idyllic family. It was always a toxic relationship. It started off toxic, if you watched the Netflix doc you can see Shannan saying in her own words that she kept trying to push him away, then pulled him back in, etc. If you behave in a toxic push-pull way? If you treat people in your life like props to be manipulated? Your relationship will probably implode eventually. It happened in the most terrible way for her, and that is tragic. But it was always going to implode, one way or another. Neither of them treated the other in a realistic or mature way.

It doesn't matter how well you know them. A few days ago I filed divorce papers on my soon-to-be ex. Married for 22 years and now he is having affairs, believes in flat Earth, and is taking hallucinogens routinely.

The parents are assholes as well

@@dakalodk 💯%!

How often do you hear of someone evil hiding out in a church? Pretty damn often, tbh.

@@lunarlightasmr4660lmao right? This guy never heard of the Catholic Church?

@@lunarlightasmr4660well everyone in any church is evil Once they except Christ they are still in church just saved out of it.

She spent 7 yrs planning and dreaming of murdering him Surely something could have been worked out

Pretty often I would imagine or at least hiding behind the church but same diff

Every counselor I ever had wasted my time telling me their personal problems. It was always about them.

My guy has a therapist with a crazy family that always wants his advice.What a horrible woman.

Are we talking about court-appointed psychiatrists here?? --( I'm just asking for a friend )

😂😂😂

pathological narcissism!!!

That's because their Mormon, they have the biggest sense of entitlement of any group of human beings on the face of the planet. I married into a Mormon family and if my ex-wifes family couldn't dictate the terms of whatever we did they were sure the hell gonna make sure the marriage didn't work and my wife let them do it.

Yeah sooo wicked to give this stank skeezer $8500 A MONTH!!!’nn How dare they not give her atleast 10 G’z a month right Susta?!?!!?!??! Evil evil wicked demons yo!!!!!!

​@@raymaharaj4502it's a pretty good example of how some people, not only can't be helped, they should not be helped.

@@raymaharaj4502 They aren't letting the twins see their other grandparents and half siblings. Mom posted on her blog what looked like a celebration after the dad was killed. (now blog has been edited.)

Agree. Anyone who continues to support Stampin Up was an unknowing participant in raising this woman into the murderer she became. Now, if you buy their stuff, you're assisting with her defense.

Most actually think they can get away with it. No way, when 3 people are involved - somebody is going to talk - you can take that to the bank. And even if only one person is involved - still most eventually get caught. We are not half as smart as we think we are!

There’s something wrong with Shanas parents here … enablers

@@gabrielleandrew542 Yup. They created the monster, sadly.

Her parents probably had them on the payroll of their business and a write off. Family owned businesses do that lots of times when having to support family members. No proof that they are not working, doing any actual work. If any another state living, they can be "working" remotely. And who needs $8000 per month to live a normal, standard life while one goes to school. Only to fund her extravagant life style, would be my guess.

Welcome @69adrummer to the room

Where has this viewer been all this time?

We can only speculate@@bthomson

I see your point. Also keep in mind a person is not officially a criminal until they have been caught, tried and convicted at least in the U. S. I'm willing to bet there's more than a few criminals rolling around with no official criminal record.

Living alone can be hazardous.

Hi Dr. Grande. Being spoiled is usually why people aren't compliant to the law. May God bless their children. Hope y'all are having a good evening. Love your channel & see you on the next one, peace, Janine Smiley 😏🙂😗🌝🌚🌠🌌🆒️💯❕❗♏🎶🎵🍪

You're the second woman here hitting on the married doctor.

@@tj2791 nope not hitting on him. Saying how being married to him would be impossible basically to win an argument, or argue at all. It's just an observation. Im married, going on 14 yrs now.

he'd only be commenting on what COULD be happening in a situation LIKE this argument ...😂

@@smac1823 😂😂

They’ve got them now.

And will not allow them to see their siblings

YES!!!

I want to find someone who’s done a detailed unbiased dive on that case. I first heard about it from the perspective that Karen is innocent and was totally on board thinking it sounded like a cover-up. Then I heard some details and facts that person had left out and it became obvious why she was arrested. I think some of the pro-Karen sources are slanting information, taking things out of context, etc but I’d love to find someone who can lay it all out and sort through the BS

I can't watch that trial would be nice to get a summary

Exactly. My own self-preservation precludes me from committing most crimes because I value my own life too much to throw it away for someone else. Revenge on that level just isnt worth it.

Because she thinks she can get away. She's dumb as a rock

By marrying Shanna and proceeding to enjoy a life of luxury, Mario was probably more than willing to do whatever for her. But he was so dumb that he wrote checks to the killer. 😂 Shanna probably explained to him that with her family money they could get away with anything. I think he did it for the money and lifestyle and Shanna did it because she wanted the kids all to herself and her family. No one says no to Shanna and she doesn’t want to share. Hope she’ll be sharing a tiny room in a prison for life.

☺👍- Every day, I have less depression & anxiety & I'm in a better mood, coz I can enjoy Doctor Grande's sharp, sly humor ---sometimes subtle, sometimes outrageous, he's funny, fascinating, and knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects. 😀

Low rent killers. Sometimes the hit men are killed after a contract is fulfilled. It ends the evidence trail, and since they are criminals, the list of suspects is very long.

@@xrfa7422 aka low IQ killers that talk too much.

An addiction I approve

She did a 180 after the wedding

Imo she was religiously shallow. Probably had a lifelong habit of lying, tricked Jared into believing she was loving and loyal -which is now evident she isn't - probably lied her way through the temple process/marriage and really didn't care for living the tenets of the church. Her "true colors" came out; leading to the worst of actions - the affair with the gym trainer, getting tatted up, hooking up with fringe people. So it's no wonder there's a broken marriage, and this case, a murder instigated by a reckless, self-centered, psychopathic woman.

@@willnill7946 Yes!

The level of unwarranted animosity against my faith is unreal. There is no epidemic of LDS crime, you absolute scumbag.

Where did you learn this?

The amount of lies told about the LDS Church is disgusting and unreal...

I dont know about statistically but i think most true crime aficionados would agree they seem to be overrepresented

@@davidng8870 Tbf most true crime aficionados probably think 90% of murder victims are women.

Just because someone is a member of the LDS Church doesn't mean they are still an active participant in the church. Based on some of the details from these high profile cases, it appears these perpetrators had left the faith behind. But the media doesn't like to differentiate and "Mormon Maniac Murders (insert spouse / ex / etc)" makes for a catchy headline.

You are not alone😊

You are not the only one seems the world has gone crazy.

You're mom raised you in a cult. You're spreading the hate of that cult now 👍🏻

You don't like the book of mormons?

You’re funny.

@@DennisBolanos hahaha. Thanks. 🤗😝

Money

And are her parents going to be raising the kids? Like they raised their mother? 😳

@@lulahbelle970How did they raise her?

@@lc6636 raised her not to have a conscience, to always have her way, a sociopath
