Being from NC, I'm drawn into this case because of it reminds me of Michelle Young and Janet Abaroa, both pregnant and both killed by husbands. and Nancy Cooper, killed by her husband Brad. Jason Young pled not guilty, was convicted, and through the years has filed several appeals, while Raven Abaroa eventually pled guilty to second degree murder serving less than 10 years, now living free. Brad Cooper also pled and will be released in 2 years. I simply cannot and will never understand this senseless slaughter when divorce is an option. Michelle was beaten so badly her jaw/cheek was shattered, teeth knocked cleanly out of their sockets and when she was still breathing, Jason resorted to strangling her to death. Raven stabbed Janet to death and she was found slumped over on her knees. Brad strangled Nancy to death, drove her body to a secluded spot, and left her there for a jogger to find. In these cases, a young child/children were also in the home. Michelle's daughter was left with her mother's body for hours, leaving footprints in her mother's blood in the bedroom and bath. I thought no case could reach the depths of my soul like Michelle's, but Shanann and her daughters have gobbled up my heart and won't let go. I truly believe CW slaughtered all 3 and will further desecrate his wife's memory by putting blame on her. The cruelty of this fills me with anger and disgust. Jason Young moved away after Michelle's funeral eventually cutting off contact with Michelle's mother and only sister, the only link this poor child had to her mother. At the time I thought this one of the cruelest things in the case, after the death/slaughter of Michelle. ....but now this.....this man is blaming the murder of his 2 daughters on his wife, who is not here to even defend herself and not to mention the effect this is/will have on her grieving parents and only brother.
My heart just hurts.........it hurts so deeply for these mamas whose lives were just snuffed out by cowards and the families left to grieve and forever ask "why". I simply have to stop reading for a little while just like I had to do with Michelle. It simply hurts too much.
Peace, love, and light to Shanann's family.......many prayers as well.
