  • The Irony. He killed his family for a woman named Nicole and was caught thanks to another woman named Nicole.

    Ppl please pray for Shan'ann's friend Nickole Atkinson.. She's been fighting breast cancer for about 5 months now..
  • “My daddy is a hero he helps me grow up strong” absolutely heartbreaking
  • It broke my heart when the little girl said 'My daddy is a hero'. How could he? Vile bastard.
  • @avril3533
    It has almost been 5 years and I still think of this case. I cried for them whe I found out what happened to them. And Nickole is a hero for trusting her guts and reacting so quickly. A true friend! I will always remember Shanann and her babies for the rest of my life.
  • I truly feel bad for Nicole.. losing a friend you just seen less than 24 hrs ago is truly devastating smh
  • @crextar3586
    He did not just murder 3 people he murdered 4...
  • To lose your daughter is in itself unimaginable. To lose your two beautiful grand kids and God willing an unborn grand child...there are no words in any language for that pain.

    Just like Gabby Petito, perfect lives shown in social media are not all peachy.

    “He’s the best thing that happened to me.” It’s sad because he’s also the worst thing that happened to her
  • @m1c4ela14
    “My daddy is a hero” and he killed her.
  • I just can't get over this case it breaks my heart every time seeing that baby say my Dady is a hero🥺what a monster 😡
  • Nikole is what we all need to strive to be. She trusted her instincts. GREAT FRIEND! Just proves how precious of a soul Shannan was. Good people flock to good people. Chris couldn't snuff out her light. RIP Shannan, Bella, Cece and Nico.
  • Nickole Atkinson is single-handedly responsible for this case being resolved so quickly. This woman knew her friend and trusted her gut. She FOUGHT for Shannan when Chris thought he’d made a clean getaway. I pray my friends/family would fight for me the same way she fought for Shannan.
  • It's amazing that her friend acted so fast. Some people wouldn't immediately get concerned if someone didn't answer the phone.
  • @Ritanarecipes
    What made me burst in tears was how she said he was the best thing that ever happened to her 😭😭
  • If there is any thing I want to say to Chris is how dare you try to blame your wife, when you knew she was dead, and she couldn't defend herself against your lies? And how dare you murder two innocent little girls and your unborn son, just because they didn't fit in with your plan with your new woman. And last but not least how dare you murder Bella when she knew what you did to her little sister and asked you to spare her?
