I will never look at those autopsy photos, Rae Andreacchio. I'm so sorry people in power did this to you and your family
The reason why Andrew died and the others didn't, is most likely because they did fentanyl regularly and had a tolerance. Andrew probably thought he was just doing some coke or smoking it, not knowing that lots of street drugs now are laced with fentanyl. The smallest amount can kill someone without a tolerance.
I think the motive is blaringly obvious.... the husband didn't want the baby and was crappy to her until right before she was killed....he suddenly became sweet and open to the baby ...... yeah ok. His inactions afterwards are fishy too the his cheesy over acting during his interviews for the podcast "my wife. my family".....*insert eyeroll* he had something to do with it.
Dylan left for an alibi. He made up the story about Christian putting the gun to his head while arguing with Whitley because he knew his fingerprints were on the gun. It was never investigated properly to discuss how Dylan had GSR on his hands. They lured him home.
Why would Christian get off the boat to kick out Whitley just to hurt himself over her? No. Whitley knows exactly what happened, so does Dylan. This wasn't suicide.
I think his " friends " hated that he was optimistic had goals was just positive in general. A lot of people hate people that are happy Because they are not.
so sad
Why does he have a different last name than his parents?
I have to just say WTF?! But leave it to Tennessee. I hope that Tyeasha gets justice. He needs to go to.prison for a very long time. No matter what, a court should decide this case.
Brea sounds like an opportunist. Does anyone else think she sounds sketchy. Every story she told circled back to her as being the main character. Listen to her talk about their friend Kelsey. How she was picked to be the one to get brain activity. Her car. Her house with the pool. She sounds fake. The Venmo story! Like what?
So many unanswered questions. Surely someone has confessed to this at some point in the last 30years unless they have passed on too. And kids? Why does juicy think it was kids? Did his brother notice anything when they were fishing? I’m so confused.

If the Andreacchios had them "Dancing" then something would be done!! That man talking at the end of the meeting is infuriating!!
this episode was heartbreaking. hearing the pain, anguish & sadness in Juicy's voice, still, 30 years later.
It's fascinating how the concept of culpability is deeply intertwined with our understanding of right and wrong. When we label someone as "culpable," we're essentially assigning them responsibility for their actions, implying that they knew the consequences of their choices. https://globalcatalog.com/printingmart.gb However, things can get quite complex when we consider factors like intention, circumstances, and personal history. Is someone truly culpable if they were raised in an environment that limited their access to information or skewed their moral compass? Can we assign the same level of culpability to someone suffering from a mental illness that impairs their decision-making? https://www.owler.com/company/customisesticker
it seems like a pattern with gift cards. I used to see scammers like that at GameStop that would come in with $1500 and buy a bunch of like $100 Visa cards. also they would go to the gas station and buy whatever gift card is available too so they can stack the money up and then transfer it all to like a debit card, venmo, cash app, etc. usually it was a debit card that they had the money on but didn't want to make a big transaction and broke it up into smaller transactions so they could filter it out.

This is such a weird way to say you were thinking about getting into law enforcement. It sounds like he’s saying he saw a lot of crime and decided to fix it by becoming Batman.
This stuff with the burial is so childish; I’m sure Brittany really would have appreciated that 🙄
