Mistress: “my married boyfriend’s wife has been very depressed 🥴🥴🥴” GEE I WONDER WHY

He didn’t want to pay for divorce attorneys, however, he ended up paying for attorneys, plus going to jail. Narcissism makes people so stupid

*No Janet, a married man is not your boyfriend!* RIP Maria

What I think is sad is the the mistress didn’t face any charges. She knew what he did and she lied for him. They are both disgusting.

How embarrassing is it to have to be a mistress who knows about the wife. Thinking you wouldn’t be in the same situation. The mistress is pathetic. She will get her day!

Man's loyalty is tested when he has everything

Kudos to the police officer who first arrived, the detective and the legal team. They worked hard to get justice for Maria... she seemed so lovely and sweet. She and her kids deserved better

I'll never truly understand why any spouse would think that murdering the other and ending up spending the rest of your life in prison is somehow better than just getting divorced 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

It never ceases to amaze me how one parent can literally steal the other parent from children they claim to love.

So he murdered his children's mother just outside his children's bedrooms while they slept... then bailed himself out of jail and ran off to his mistress again, who took him in knowing what he had done... disgusting people, both of them.

Ladies please know your worth! Never fight the mistress over your husband who’s shown you he does not respect you or care about your feelings. If a man doesn’t want you, you don’t need him.

The fact that this man said he had just showered and yet was still wearing his scrubs?? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Kudos to the anesthesiologist for having them do the extra bloodwork.

The audacity of this man to take away such a beautiful soul and then to claim that she did this herself. Despicable. May her children find peace in this life and never know such evil.

That team of female attorneys- were her guardian angels.

This man had what so many men dream of.... a beautiful committed wife and healthy children... it's amazing how this wasn't enough. RIP Maria...

When she said “We are Maria’s team”😢 Way to go team!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

She literally tucked her sons to bed not knowing and the boys not knowing that was there last time seeing eachother 😞

I love that the prosecutors were women. You were fought for Maria, you mattered. ❤

Once he said “we had sex…” I was like “he killed her!” They always try to act like “we good! We good!”

The mistress nurse should have her nursing license revoked!

The mistress knew a lot more. I'm upset she didn't go to jail.

Maria was so beautiful. I’m upset that this happened to her. I’m even more upset that the mistress stayed knowing he was married with children, then lied for him knowing what he did. Rest up Maria 🙏🏽

Both the investigating and prosecuting team did an excellent job.

I knew he was lying the minute he said they had sex and then took a shower and he has scrubs on. 🤨🧐

Um ma'am why are you crying? You wasn't crying when you was helping to break up that ladies household by sleeping with her husband.

"Doctors Hospital" has to be the dumbest name for a hospital in the USA.

Her adorable son telling that cop his name so clear and proud. Poor babies❤

I don't understand why people can't just divorce and move on.

I just can not understand these women who are willing to be with married men ! How can they call that man their boyfriend? How do they introduce their boyfriend to their parents and their friends? "This is my boyfriend but he can't stay and hangout with us! He's got to go home to his wife. She's expecting him ." I mean seriously! Don't they want a man of their own? And why is that they think they are something special? That sure, he'll cheat on the wife but he wouldn't ever cheat on the mistress! Oh please! If you're the other woman and you're reading this, pull your head out and join reality!!!

It's always sad to me when the murderer's family is the one raising the children.

Janet is disgusting to take up with a married man like that. What a fool - if he’s cheating on his baby mama he’s gonna cheat on the sidepiece too. I dunno how that homewrecker can live with herself. Gross.

Any woman who has an affair with a man that is -Not Divorced - should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. You are absolutely involved with the consequences of the end result.

This is one of those rare instances when I feel like I know the victim. The short clips of Maria reveal a beautiful person; and her journal entries were deeply insightful and profound. During the very last shot when she played the piano and looked sheepishly at the camera I felt my heart break for her. I actually said “I’m so sorry this happened to you”.

The audacity of the mistress to even cry after finding about Maria, and the audacity of that narcissist to blame Maria for her death. Those kids deserved their mother and Maria deserved to live. The clips of her with her kids literally gave me heart pain. I hope her children have a blessed and happy life through the pain❤️‍🩹

The needle mark on her arm was the defining moment of this case

He is the one who cheats on her, puts her through mental and emotional hell, and then he goes and gets rid of her when she wants to leave him. The tip of the iceberg. I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life.

To cheat on such a beautiful woman is crazy . Nothing worst than male ego

The responding officer who clocked his behavior and noticed how much he was sweating seemed to be a good LEO! He called the drug use right off the bat. I feel awful for Marias children and family. Such a heartbreaking case.

Heart wrenching! The emotional abuse she suffered, then he took away his children's mother, a dearly loved daughter, friend and beautiful soul! All for greed! RIP Maria.

I have learned that when the person I’m in a relationship with, cheats or has an affair, I’m leaving the relationship. I’ve learned to let go of the person who prefers to be intimate with someone else.

What fears me from this story, how a person can be so selfish to let their own kids without mum for the rest of their lives.. there is no money, or a person who is worth that sacrifice

As an anesthesiologist for so many years, Joel _knew exactly_ what he was giving her that night. I call bullcrap on his story that he was trying to "save" Maria.

The video she had on her cell phone where she’s talking to him sounds JUST like the conversations I had with my abusive ex. I can feel her pain 😢

It's scary to think that this person could be putting you under for an operation.

She was so beautiful & stunning. She seemed like such a good person. Feel so bad for her kids 😔

I’ll never understand how so called men can abuse someone that loves them. I do everything my wife tells me. It doesn’t make me any less of a man.

Heartbreaking to see her journal entries. She was trying to grow and move forward. Bless her.

He had EVERYTHING: beautiful devoted wife, beautiful children, successful job, nice home and cars. But he left all that for a mistress. And then he killed that beautiful life he had. And now he has no life at all in prison.

The definition of a Narcissist. I hope he rots in jail. Rest in Peace Maria🤍

Rule Number 1….Never love someone more than you love yourself

How could this anesthesia nurse not think his wife would be given a toxicology blood test, tissue samples and a full autopsy report. He thought investigators would just take his word? Completely stupid. RIP beautiful lady.

What an absolute beauty she was! Kindness and love shined through her eyes. What an absolute tragedy. 😢

One of the most cruel things you can do to someone who claims they once loved you is the constant gaslighting and disrespect of an affair. She deserved far better and he knew it.

The side chick needs to be accountable as well, I hope she never finds peace and I hope that the rest of her life becomes a living hell. How dare she be with a guy who is married and has kids? She help this monster get rid of he's wife and those poor children now don't have a mom or a dad. I wish nothing but miserable life to her. I'm glad that monster is now where he belongs. My heart goes out to Maria's children, they need their mom.

Maria was so beautiful. May she rest in peace ❤

The girlfriend should be locked up too! She knew WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much info! You don't date a married man for 2 years pretending you REALLY don't know anything! Bissssssssssh......you know very well what happened to Maria Munoz. 🤥

This was the most obvious crime ever. From the second they said he was an anaesthesiologist I was like yup, that clears that up. How on earth did he think he was going to get away with it? RIP Maria

Maria, You deserved better. Rest in peace, beautiful soul.❤😢

Treat your wife the way you treat your mistress and you will have that same pleasure and excitement. Stop seeing her as just the woman taking care of you, the kids, the pets and chores 😡🤬😤

What a group of powerful ladies! Thank you for bringing justice to Maria’s family 🫶🏻

I hope that mistress lose her license as a nurse for an unethical involvement with married man and being involved with this crime. Shameless.

How a sad story. What a narcissist can do is monstrous.

Maria Muñoz has lived a fulfilling life. Seems like she had so much potential within her.

I truly hate scumbags who hurt women!! I can't imagine seeing any woman anything different than a mom, or a sis, or daughter. God bless her and her kids

This is soo sad. Not finished watching, but heartbroken for these kids. I'm here crying bc as Mom, you never want to leave your children. Peace and blessings to that family. ❤

It doesn’t matter how pretty is the wife, how good is she as a mother, the men find always another woman who they are thinking she’s better! Oh, eternal story!

So many crimes begin with one spouse being unfaithful ! 🙄🙄🙄

Applause to this team they got justice for Maria as well as for Griselda and her baby boy that was brutally killed by the father!! This team is A+

This guy had a beautiful wife, 2 kids, a really good paying job and somehow all of that wasn't enough. I don't understand some people. SMH

I feel so bad for the kids in a situation like this!! So sad

Maria’s team makes me so happy. Not only were they incredible lawyers and people. I love seeing POC, specifically women excelling in their efforts to help others❤️

It’s too bad that Maria didn’t leave him when she found out he was a cheat & a liar & now he is a murderer!! Girls don’t stay in a bad relationship!! Your better off on your own .

Why would he bring all these drugs in the house in the first place if not to use them for his sick and evil plan? RIP Maria.

Too bad she didn't leave him when she found out he cheated on her. He was the cause of her depression. And then her death.

This one hurts and I didn’t know her at all. You can just tell she was a good soul and she was also outwardly beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss Maria’s family.

Never meet an ex alone during or after a very contentious divorce

I love that he had to watch his side piece testify against him. Serious karma.

He dumped his very beautiful wife for that other woman? Just sickening ….

If you’re that beautiful and he still has a side … you’re not gonna change him. Leave.

He didn’t change - he was ALWAYS bad - evil people are just evil. No one just suddenly loses weight and becomes evil. He was probably selfish narcissist the entire marriage. Too selfish to divorce and let her move on too. God Bless those poor kids and all Maria’s loved ones.

The timing. The drug cocktail. The needle mark. The cheating. The divorce aspect. The entire story details. 💯 Good detective work. He probably shorted patient meds slowly bit by bit to not have them noted as missing. Wow. Could also show premeditation. What garbage he is. Those poor boys and she, an innocent Mum 😢😢😢

9:35 It about broke my heart when the police bring the little kid out to see the fire truck and they ask him his name. He was so happy and energetic, my name is Alejandro. Poor kid shouldn't have had to lose a mom ❤

Its infuriating that his girlfriend didnt receive any punishment for this. I realize they needed her testimony to convict him, but I believe she knew a lot more than she admitted. What kind of person knowingly dates someone whose married to someone else & has 2 small children with them for over 2 yrs & up until he's caught for killing his wife? If you start a relationship as the "other" woman, you will NEVER be the only woman. It does'nt take having the IQ of a genius to figure that out or was she just as narcissistic as her boyfriend? The fact that she was aware of his wife & families existence & still continued with the affair for years after tells me all I need to know about her character, or lack thereof. Its tragic that this poor woman who was struggling mentally & emotionally over this POS husband masquerading as a human being is so wrong & unfair. I hope she is at peace with his conviction & that she knows she was too good for him even though she was made to feel she was not good enough. The fact that her two young sons face the future without their mom to experience it & help guide them is heartbreaking. 2 more victims of a narcissist who believed he was better & smarter than everyone around him. Now he can add leaving his children orphaned for his all consuming behavior, but people like him never consider the pain they cause others as they are totally consumed focusing soley on themselves.

I don’t care how much Janet was a witness she was just as guilty knowing what that man did and tried to cover for him until the police come after her

I've spend time in courthouses around attorneys etc. I've never seen a group of females look so beautiful and so powerful all together for justice. You ladies are absolutely gorgeous and absolutely powerful. Fighting for justice, and this is priceless. This group of ladies makes me feel like going to law school. Very refreshing for me. I was born in a time where women didn't have positions like this. Told to stay quiet and be ladylike and marry a man with lots of money stay home have babies and be servient.. I'm crying as I write this because I would pray to God to be able to see something like this in my lifetime Thank you for justice 💔 03-23-24 🙏 I was raised wrong and I'm just glad that I realized it sooner than later. I of course was only married for a year before he almost killed me. We had a child I would later raise alone. I being raised that way stopped me from being everything that I could be. So much later on in life. After I started loving myself. Because it's impossible to love yourself in a world of supremacy we're a man runs you. Or you need to ask permission to do anything from your man. Male Supremacy should be illegal. It's not humanitarian. This world is full of death and you can't save it when you have a mouth full of meats. Men are overrated non maternal disease spreaders. Once we start telling our daughters these things they would never put up with someone like this 'male' in this video. I'm vegan now and I found peace. Awesome Justice Served. Thank you, fabulous four ladies 💔

Every time I watch one of these I’m shocked at how easily these monsters destroy their children’s lives. My wife is my best friend and I get misty eyed when I have to take my baby boy for his shots. Couldn’t imagine getting to this point.

More women have died when an estranged husband utters the words: "Honey, lets get together tonight and talk." Since when do men want to talk? His mistress Janet threw him under the bus! So much for the grass is greener.

Such a beautiful woman, why would you want someone else when you already have a beautiful woman from which you already have kids with???????? I don’t get I really dont. This is a sick world we live in. RIP Maria..

I feel so sad for the kids imagine growing up knowing your dad killed your mom is so terrifying and sad may God give them peace❤

I had never heard about this case until now. Absolutely heartbreaking 😢

My heartfelt condolences to Maria, her kids, and her friends and families 🥹🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽I’m crying ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Really cannot see what Maria saw in that excuse of a man.

Her husband and the mistress are disgusting people

In the beggining of the video. When they show the house. Reminded me Of the Watts case

Maria was a beautiful woman, and she seemed to be beautiful inside. My heart breaks for her family and friends.

This narcissist did not deserve a woman like Maria. No one deserves to be murdered, however, she appears to be blameless.

This is crazy. I would have traded places in a heartbeat with this man. You know how many men want a woman like the wife he had? You never find women like her. RIP

Those poor kids. I'm praying they are loved and protected and in a safe home.
