Case 267: Brian Barrett
Added 2023-11-04 08:35:43 +0000 UTCIn the spring of 2005, two 18-year-olds met in an online chat room and immediately hit it off. Jessi went by the username TalHotBlond, while her new friend Tommy called himself MarineSniper. It wasn’t long before the two had fallen in love and gotten engaged… But less than a year into their relationship, the romance would be destroyed by a shocking revelation that ultimately led to devastating consequences…

I was waiting for that twist at the end. Something about Jesse was off to me the entire time!

2023-11-08 11:14:26 +0000 UTCI'm not gonna lie, when the episode started I was thinking "please catfish each other" but I didn't expect any of the twists that can, or the spiral to murder. Can we also take a second to be impressed with the ex-wife who wrote Jesse to warn her? I feel like you only see stories of "back off, that's my husband!" Mad props to a mom who actually wants to protect children!

2023-11-07 13:05:29 +0000 UTCMy jaw was on the floor by the end of this. Can't believe the mother tried to justify speaking to an (apparent) 18 year old! Both the adults in this case were disgraceful

2023-11-05 21:24:03 +0000 UTCThis is what disturbs me the most!

2023-11-05 19:05:22 +0000 UTCThe “adults” in this story are despicable. So disturbing.

2023-11-05 18:36:35 +0000 UTCGosh, the loneliness really got to me. How this escalated to murder is unfathomable. I Hope the daughter is okay.

2023-11-05 09:59:18 +0000 UTCThe absolute worst thing about this story is that both these grown adults seem to see nothing wrong with their own actions and believe themselves to be victims. Neither has expressed any remorse, but both have publicly expressed how unfairly they were treated by the other. This whole story is just vile. Well told, but vile.

2023-11-05 09:52:07 +0000 UTCI know. I have an 18 year old daughter (also away at school) and thinking about this woman's actions makes me feel physically ill.
Amy Hart
2023-11-05 09:22:41 +0000 UTCI hope the real Jessie is ok. Imagine hearing what your own mum had been doing with your photos!
Sammy
2023-11-05 08:56:14 +0000 UTCI was thinking the same and remembered I heard it elsewhere too!
Sammy
2023-11-05 08:52:59 +0000 UTCNever mind, I figured it out… It was covered on another true crime podcast that I listen to, ha! No wonder it sounded familiar.

2023-11-05 03:49:53 +0000 UTCOk this is really bothering me, I swear this is a repeat, anybody else? Is it a re-release or am I thinking of another case?
Laurel Fleming
2023-11-05 03:41:02 +0000 UTCHer not apologizing to her daughter or even admitting wrongdoing might be the craziest part

2023-11-04 21:52:49 +0000 UTCGreat storytelling. Senseless murder on so many levels.

2023-11-04 21:46:20 +0000 UTCWow what a story. Disgusting man and women.

2023-11-04 17:41:26 +0000 UTCFirst twist was obvious and you could see it from a mile away. Second twist tho; holy crap

2023-11-04 15:04:10 +0000 UTCHow is sending upskirt photos of her daughter online without her permission not a criminal offence? I wonder if either of them has wondered ... could we have hit it off if we'd both told the truth and been ourselves?

2023-11-04 11:51:17 +0000 UTCMy god. Awful woman, I hope her daughter has found a way to cope.

2023-11-04 11:50:04 +0000 UTCThat is a bad mother to be sharing images, videos and even clothing containing and belonging her child to strangers and prolong inappropriate interactions. Why didnt she go to the cops after the FIRST interaction back in 2005?! That mum needs to lose custody of her daughter, and Jessie needs to be in a safer envirnment where she won't be what is basically abused by a person she's meant to trust!!!

2023-11-04 10:51:56 +0000 UTCI expected Tommy to be the original 46 that his profile said he was, but I didn’t expect her to be a 40 something year old woman either. How bizarre.
Zac
2023-11-04 10:02:59 +0000 UTCHow long before someone whines about the "short" episode?
