The only thing I don't like. Why is it gotta be a black thing? I'm glad a black woman killed her. And I'm not glad This young lady dead. I'm just glad a white person didn't kill her. But everything has to be turned into race. Why can't you just be an American?
why don't you say it's part 1...I hate waiting another week. prefer to wait,until all is available
Nicholas's parents have been amazingly restrained and dignified, and I cannot understand how they do it.

Nebraska Charles Starkweather & Caril Fugate
She ended up "going to the bathroom on herself"?! How old are you, five?
Good old Christian love. Get out of religion, it's bad not saying don't be spiritual but. Religion is evil.
You ever notice that religious people are more likely to kill?You don't hear about atheist killing people It's always religious.People stay away from religion
Exactly why I am not religious and I don't believe there God, most religious people are Scumbag, as you can see by this case. The real isn't God right. Letting this young lady get raped and did her reputation smeared?Good call god l o l proud to be atheist
I don't understand when a white person takes a black person's life. All kinds of black people gather a break in the stores. Ever run a street? But you've got like white supremedy groups. You wanna support white people? I don't understand that with black people or special. Good for the KK for standing up with white people.
I don't think Kayla is a good person & don't believe she cared about Harmony. but Adam must have seemed all powerful to her. she was terrified of him surely. if she left him he would have gotten her kids. he already got Harmony even though he was a monster. that is why she didn't leave. the hosts are wrong about why she stayed with him.
very likely the story about Harmony hurting the baby is also pure bs. For a monster & a man who hates women, Adam sure has a lot of women around befriending and fawning over him. what that says about women is terrifying.
Adam is a monster goes without saying. Kayla is a POS too, and absolutely participated in the abuse. Imagine, also, lying to a grand jury like that.
there are parallels between McKay's case and JonBenet's case. but it is a "conspiracy theory" to understand this.
