So sad! Rest in peace, Kayla. I’m so sorry to her family & friends.
Thank you for sharing…
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
So sad. Selfish, evil man.
She should not have black mailed him, it caused him to panic.
@James Watson I agree it really isn’t that serious to get into the marriage. Just keep it steppin’and move on. But women are emotional. But he is a dirt bag for taking it that far, it does not mean she deserved to die.
@Minnesota Vaughn Yes he is a dirt bag but when black mailed people panic and don’t think right.
It is true some duded made threat to this he was going to put a video of her being naked on line.
She panic and killed herself, just the fear of her family fining out sent her over the edge.
What goes through these ppl minds?…u cheat on your ugly wife with another ugly woman…so u murder your ugly mistress…get 100 yrs..and never see your ugly wife…
I smell BS
Don’t just put it on the man the other woman is involved obviously but I get it she walks free
Wait what? What did I miss? What other woman?
how you know that?
Do what @ kenking
😪 😔🙏🏾Rest peacefully Kayla 🕊️❤
Blackmail was a bad idea for her to try. And he should have been able to just man up.
He DID man up
@Richie Tozier 😂 ….yep he sure did
@Richie Tozier Murdering her is manning up to you?
He’s a Pastor???? Seriously, dude why?? God, these people you made…what is wrong….
what?
No his name is Ocastor lol he’s no pastor lol
Don’t blame God men are evil they make their own bad choices
Uh, uh you’re not going to blame God for this ratchet. God “created” him by giving him life but this man used his own “free will” & “made himself” into a despicable liar & murderer. That was (his own choice) so don’t come blaming God!
Where did u get he is a pastor from??? Lol lay of the liquor
I will never understand why these geniuses think it’s a better idea to murder someone you’re cheating on your SO with rather than come clean about the situation. But, that’s why they’re the geniuses and I’m left here trying to rationalize their actions.
@James WatsonI thought the same thing! Like, why do women do that?! That..and tell the “unstable “ person you are leaving..?
I’m sorry I know it’s a sad situation, but that was rather funny.
@Mo Butter I think he was leaving her and she black mailed him, she was going to tell his wife.
@James Watson I totally agree. She shoulda kept that to herself.
@Diego DonJuan it’s probably a mix of both; not wanting to be controlled by his side piece and his wife finding out about it.
Condolences to the family!
I’m saddened to see why this happened! He could have been straight up, she would have knowingly cheated with him. She didn’t choose to walk away. She wanted to control him with the threat of blackmail 🤦🏾♂️.
This man obviously was a murderer , evil and violent. She probably threatened to tell his wife and destroy his life. It wasn’t your life. RIP.
Side Chick blackmails guy, who obviously like his main chick and his life style. Bad idea.
Now where did they met. SASLY ANOTHER CRUME THAT SOUNDS AWFULLY FAMILIAR
Women…. *PLEASE* …. stop f**king threatening to ruin a man’s life!!!
I’m not condoning his behavior or actions at all. He deserves prison for the rest of his life! But you don’t know what a man is capable of if he feels pushed into a corner!!!!
Just let it go!!!
Move on!!!
Your ego isn’t worth your life!!!
ALMIGHTY GOD AND JESUS CHRIST REVEALS ALL THINGS IN HIS TIME AND NO ONE GETS AWAY WITH ANYTHING!…..WHEN WILL WE LEARN, ALL THINGS DONE IN THE DARK, WILL BE REVEALED AND COME TO LIGHT!…..
Can this “Almighty god” and “Jesus” prevent these tragedies? Or do they just reveal things?
Where was putting their All from the local law enforcement agency’s and All others law enforcement agencies FBI on this case to find this victim where was the Reporting from News Network Media should have been broadcasting this on a daily basis. Now you want to finally broadcast Reporting on it when they found the victim’s body.
😪
Why do people keep online dating. It’s not even dating. It’s online hooking up
Don’t make sense you say from the get go you married and if she don’t like it find somebody who’s ok with it.
Killed this woman and dumped her body in a field. RIP Ma’am condolences to your family.
SMH
Should have just walked away may have saved her life
Yep ..But she couldn’t do it
She couldn’t resist his good looks.
Exactly….his wife was probably the bread winner
🥺
Rot. In. Prison.
I can see why people love you
Notice how the suspects wife Did not want to be interviewed? Very telling
There is no law & no person is required to speak in public, even in cases that make the news.
Given how toxic social media has become, it is better to stay away.
Exactly
You might be right, but I’m putting myself in her shoes , I don’t think I’d be in any state to be interviewed. I hope she isn’t involved.
She got what she deserved.
I guess yu cant tell now huh Kelly🤣
I’m so sorry. Hopefully her family will find some joy in the years to come.
And for blackmail, don’t you typically need to get something in return? What did they say she would get in return?
Not when u are a scorn women out for revenge…she just didn’t get it until it was too late probably
@T.v 📴 TuBe But what was she supposed to get?
I guess Him🤤 Sad…
HIM
@marilyn H But she already had him. 😂
If you attempt to open your mouth you die 🤣
Condolences to all that loved her.
He’d rather commit a murder than let his wife catch him cheating. I don’t understand the logic
He was always going to murder someone..this was just his “opportunity”
He is a narcissist. He thought that he was smart enough to get away with murder.
Never play with a man’s home..
So you support a murderer?
@IKENAK NEK excuse me?Don’t ever act like you know me again!
Very very very sad but the wife knows now
Just be a side piece 🧩 n shut ..up..leave people wife alone ..u knew he was married 🤡🤡🤡
So sad indeed.
A person with purple hair shouldn’t be the person in charge of guns ….
Not blaming her but I wish she would’ve just left him alone and moved on. His wife didn’t have to know anything. Her life wasn’t worth his sorry a55 relationship.
What goes on in people’s minds…how could this have been a better idea?
You should never tell someone your plans when you wanna tell a wife.. notify law enforcement then just tell wife. Don’t broadcast it .. men can do weird shitz
Enjoy prison.
Sad. Cheating happens every day, never ends good. Liars and cheaters are criminally insane, extremely dangerous, a dime a dozen.
You’re 100% right. I think that lying & cheating is often taken lightly, but deceptive individuals are willing to go to unbelievable extremes to protect their lies.
Boyfriend shares with his wife. Hummmmmm.
Oh! Oh! Oh!!!! It has gotten so REAL out here! On line dating has become a predatory environment. Who can you trust? People are mentally disconnected. Better Run to God for protection, safety, prosperity and not die prematurely. This includes me. Oh! Oh! Oh!!!! Tears for the Deceased!
Its sad !! Because she didn’t know , he probably was deceiving her and she recently found out. And felt for the woman being cheated on. She was terrified most likely and She definitely suffered , Cowards !! You never know who someone is and capable of, even when you think you know them. Rest In Peace 🙏
She knew. She even threatened to tell his wife. Bad mistake. Have seen similar scenarios on true crime shows
Really…….
So much violence. I don’t understand people’s analysis of a situation. You have two options: confess or eliminate the evidence (including killing). If you confess, worst case scenario, your wife leaves you, you teach your kids and the people around you a valuable lesson in being honest, and you live the rest of your life with a clean conscience. If you try to eliminate the evidence, the most likely scenario, you get caught, everyone around you finds out (anyway, which is what you were trying to avoid), you go to jail or sentenced to death, your kids and the people around you learn nothing of value (if anything, next time try to not get caught), and of course you completely destroy the lives of the victim(s). Is it really that hard of a decision to make? I like to think there are many more cases I never find out about because they made the right call.
Sound’s like they probably got the right guy.
What if she didn’t try to profit and just told “Kevin’s” wife without him knowing? Would she still end up dead? Both of them were wicked.
So all this & not only did his wife find out the truth about his deceptive ways but a lot more people & he is now locked up for it. All you had to do was be faithful to your wife or be honest to yourself & get a divorce. Just pointless, completely pointless in his actions.
The extreme things people do to cover up their lies.
Lot of woman homicides…
so scary. RIP Kayla. i am so sorry.
Goodness. Why did it have to go so far?
God bless these investigators for not forgetting Kayla & for finding out what happened to her & for their paying it forward for us & we will also pay it forward & protect each other at all times & find out what is happening & why at all times to keep making sense of reality & to enable the sciences.
Kayla you have not died in vain science will explain why all this happened & is happening, rest in eternity angel & I am sorry you suffered terror.
At this point BM are total TRASH and GARBAGE. That animal doesn’t need no BOND.
Sending my condolences to her family. Rest in peace Kayla❤ Fly high beautiful angel❤
Ladies, Ladies, is it really worth your life? Why not fall in love with Jesus. The devil, satan, orchestrates this kind of evil. The flesh is never satisfied, no satisfying the beast in us. The only remedy for sinful man is to be born again, of the water, in Jesus Name and to be filled with the ‘Holy Ghost’. Times are only getting worse, we need the Lord.
When she found out he was married she should have just walked away. Blackmail is for pros.
Who wants a bf with a criminal mind
Lessons to be learned. If you find out that your boyfriend/girlfriend has been lying to you, walk away and don’t ever take them back, especially if they’re already in a relationship; not worth it to fight for someone that was never yours to begin with. If you want to break up with someone in person, bring some friends/family with you and do it in a public place. Or just break up with them through text. Don’t ever blackmail anyone, because you don’t know what they’re capable of. I know relationships can be hard, but some people are just not worth holding on to. Always love yourself first and walk away, and keep yourself safe. You did not deserve this Kayla, RIP ❤️♥️
Well said ❤
There are numerous amounts of men on social media cheating on their wives! It’s a double life standard to use other women for their own needs hoping they won’t get caught.
Black on black crime
Hang on her boyfriends house where he stays with his wife?? I bet he did it.
Why do side chicks feel the need to call your boo’s wife? The wife already know about the cheating pos. Just keep it stepping
Never tell a person you telling their other half . Just walked away and move in
His life was never going to be good as long as he wasn’t living right.
This is the fourth (fifth?) news story this week of a man murdering his partner/wife. Men are scary. That poor woman, I can’t imagine what it’s like finding out your boyfriend is married.
😢 it’s so sad to hear about the stories because we just started 2023 and it’s already starting out. Pretty sad there’s mass shootings and we’re not even at the end of the month. I just don’t know what’s going on out there why people are literally look like they just lost their mind, but I pray every day for people I don’t even know, and I also ask God for the strength to make it through and ask him to continue to help us down here because this world is really changing in ways. I never thought I’d see.😢❤
