That man is only 53???? Wow! He looks so much older! I wonder if his family keeps in touch with him. I thought they were going to say he offed himself….Glad the mystery was solved for the family, especially as closure for her daughter. Prayers for them! 🕊️🩷🙏🏽
What a smirk! Hell has even more special rooms for sociopaths like this.
Why didn’t they try to reward the first lady who didn’t get up out of her seat before Rosa Parks is it because of her skin tone cause I know I overheard something before concerning they didn’t wanna use her because she was brown skinned and Rosa Parks was lighter. I could be wrong and hope not but I never really hear about her.
Ice cold psychopath. Everything else is just excuses. Should never ever be let out of prison. What a waste of a beautiful life.
70 Years w/possibility of Parole.
Worst plea bargain ever… (Not complaining, just sayin') 😂
I am so grateful that Liz was dedicated to solving this case and to know that she was doing it as a volunteer is even more admirable. She has certainly used her gift and intelligence to help others. Thank you, Liz,
He only felt bad that he did it according to him because "I knew someday my personal freedom would be affected". He didn't care and should never be released. I wonder what his family felt when they heard his confession and especially the part about when he said " I'm highly influenced by demons". They were living with a monster.
He said "I am a serial killer who's only killed once". Serial means repeatedly committing the same offense so I wonder if there are any other bodies out there that he's not admitting to?
No chance it was random. None. Zero. Zilch.
Either the DNA is finally going to link him to some other cold case, or he might have committed more and smartened up by not leaving any DNA behind. I doubt this was an isolated incident, how did he escalate to this from 0 to 100 and then go back to 0 for 30 years?? Doubtful. Hopefully one day we will know more and give more families a little bit of peace
He tamam as stalking her for a long time whole staying at his friend house that's no coincidence that premeditated. You can get in someone's house randomly wearing gloves and ski mask that's BS
Crazy. The only "positive" thing we can say about this guy is that he didn't harm the kid. It is such a sad story. The kid was in the house, trying to help the mother, putting bandaid on the wounds. The guy is really sick.
Weird !! I live in Springfield, VA!
This breaks my heart.
This story is so sad but I'm glad Smerk was caught.
It could have been even worse because the baby Nicole had a liver transplant.
She needed the anti-rejection drugs so the transplant wouldn't fail, plus she had no food.
He basically left both of them to their demise so if it wasn't for Robin's former roommate showing up when she did, it could have been even worse.
He should have had charges brought up for that as well, child endangerment.
Anything could have happened once he left that child unsupervised.
A heartless man who should be shown the flowers in the prison system, because he is nothing short of an oxygen thief, going on for over 30 years.
RIP to Robin, with the friendliest beautiful smile, so full of promise, life ended too soon.
💔🕊🖌
Wow
Bull
VERY SCARY !
did they ever check if there was any connection between ollie and stephan… in any way and at any time?
Ollie was having an affair with on this beautiful accomplished woman when he looks like a troll
no way this poor woman is his only victim
9:39 beautiful woman
usual suspects
That. Sad. Sad. Awful. Story. Awful.
Did he sexually assault her? Did they interview his friends nearby? How did he know she was home alone? Did his wife divorce him? How many times was he married? Did the widower marry his affair? Did he feel guilty? How many times did he marry?
Did the daughter get therapy for complex ptsd?
I’m a very curious person.
He didn’t show any remorse because he’s a psychopath!
I may have missed it, but what happened to her daughter? Was she in the video?
@23:26 “Computer programmer up in NY, Married to a defense attorney, two kids in high school, nice house in the suburbs,…….I’m thinking there is no way this is our guy”…………No!!! That is EXACTLY the type. Unassuming and going on with their lives as if nothing happened and the police overlook him. Guaranteed if police look more at this type they would solve many unsolved cases.
He killed more.
He had no questions because he already knew all the answers and was guilty
The defense attorney is gross. When asked:
"Did he think about Robin in all those 30 years?"
She said "He thought about IT everyday."
So so yucky. All of her excuses and all of her gaslighting is disgusting.
Praying for Ronin and her family.
Such a Beautiful Women talent & quality people 💕💕💕 my heart goes out to them God bless each her parents , siblings and of course her precious child ❤❤❤❤
“She begged for her life. I cut her up pretty good”. Lord JESUS.
Wow, a victim who's a person of color on 48 Hours?! Has Hell frozen over?!
The plea deal would've made sense to me if the man showed even an ounce of remorse. He should've been brought to trial where the family members could address him in public
A man sat there and said if it wasnt for my wife kids, I would be. Serial killer……and yall made him eligible for parole…….privileged
So sad. RIP to Robin 🕊️
