not again and i do my makeup at the same time
if you’re interested in true
crime and you like makeup i
would highly suggest you hit that subscribe button
cause i’m here for you on mondays
we’re gonna talk about a very
awful story oh my gosh wow it’s dramatic warning
today’s story contains
graphic descriptions of crime scenes
adult dialogue and strong language
viewer discretion
is advised so
we’re gonna start with evan
heathlin she grew up in oak ridge tennessee
it was said that she was
sweet and loving and
you know when you talk to
aaron she just
made you feel like you were the most important person
in the room she
was an animal
lover she had a
talent for taming
horses that
no one else came
close to and aaron’s
first horse was
named autumn
and her whole
world just seemed to revolve around
horses it was in a barn
where she met a guy
named jonathan corwin
who would become her future husband
but when they
first met aaron
she was only in
fifth grade
i’m laughing just because the
thought of them getting
married or something in
fifth grade
just made me giggle a little bit but john was one year
older than aaron
and they became
very close friends
and they remained
close friends and then when they turned 16 17
that’s when john
went to her parents and
asked for permission to date her
which they approved and the two of them
started dating on
aaron’s 16th birthday
as their relationship blossomed and they fell in love
aaron would
often write john like little love poems
and from the outside looking in
it just seemed
like they were this perfect all american couple
just swept up in their
fairy tale romance you know
john would go on to join the marines and shortly
after that the
young couple got
married in november of
2012 aaron’s mother
she was a little
worried that like
aaron would have
trouble adjusting to life as the wife
of a marine
because she knew that they
would have to move around a lot and
aaron was known
to be a little bit on the shy side
so making friends you know
having to make friends constantly
might be a bit of a challenge
for her but for the most part they seem to be very
happy and in love
who really knows though
right after all
these stories i’m like who
you you can be the perfect person perfect
marriage and there’s no such
thing no such
thing anyways
september twenty thirteen
the couple john and
aaron they moved to
the marine base in
twenty nine palms
california it’s
like out in the middle of the desert so hot when they
moved in they became
friends pretty
quickly with the family who live downstairs from them
their name was connor
and aisling
and then they had like a little baby chew
and then they also had
another neighbor
and their name was chris and nicole lee plus
their six year old
daughter liberty
and they lived like
right next door
so family under them family next door
so while the husbands were doing
their thing
base a lot of the times the wives
the three neighbors
aaron aisling and nicole
they would all like hang out together they
would have lunch they
chat and when the husbands were home they
would barbecue
have little
movie nights you know it was
just nice to have some friends in this new location at
first life on the base seemed to be going
fine and dandy
but soon just the normal struggles of
married life
made their appearance and
aaron and john’s relationship
money was a big issue
and the two of them
would often
argue over it accusing
one another of overspending your overspent you
why did you buy that why are you buying you know just
you never have enough money
right and there’s just always something to
fight about over it so they’re bickering a lot soon
after aaron
found out that she was pregnant and
once like that became the new
focus the money issues were just put on the back burner
and they were just excited to
start a family of
their own so
aaron’s excited she wanted to be a mom
and she of course went to facebook and
posted on facebook that she was pregnant she was like
sharing it with her friends and family back at home
you know everyone’s all
excited for her and
aaron couldn’t wait to be a mom so several weeks go by
after posting
the announcement on facebook
and sadly aaron
ended up miscarrying the baby
she was absolutely
devastated heartbroken just
i can’t imagine what that feels like i’m
so sad in the us
about 10 to 15
out of every 100
pregnancies
end in a miscarriage
but it doesn’t make it easier knowing that
knowing the statistics really and despite
there being
others who have shared the
experience like many
women who go through the
trauma of losing a baby before
it’s born aaron
felt very much
alone and she
started to kind of withdraw from her marriage
and just her social circle she was
growing emotionally distant
her husband said
that he really didn’t know how to comfort her at all
he tried to but
he just didn’t know how
and unfortunately it just really
started to drive a
pretty big wedge between the two of them
but there was someone else
who was there for
aaron during
these difficult times
it was her friend
and neighbor
chris lee so
aaron at this time was 19 years old so she’s
still really
young and she’s
struggling with the loss of her pregnancy
and her husband
again doesn’t really know how to comfort her
aaron would
strike up a conversation with 25 year old
christopher lee
again the neighbor
and chris was one of
those guys who just really
loved to make people laugh
but he had his
own sadness that he seemed to be battling with
and him and
aaron seemed to like really connect
with that like chris was dealing with his own
depression because recently
he had been denied deployment normally this
would have the opposite effect
but for chris it was considered a heroic
honor to go
so it’s just something he so
greatly wanted to do
so when he was denied
it was devastating to him and he was very very
upset so chris had told
aaron that he
would play russian roulette
every morning
to decide like if he was
gonna go on
with his day or not if you don’t know russian roulette
is a game game
where you have a loaded gun
what’s partially loaded usually like one of the
things is loaded
and then you pull the
trigger to see if it’s
gonna go off or not
it’s the kind of behavior that you
should definitely
reach out for
medical help
not necessarily
tell your neighbor in a casual conversation
but you know
aaron felt bad for him
you know she was very
drawn to people who were
broken or hurting so
helping care for chris it gave her a
sense of purpose
being there for him
also just talking with chris really distracted her from
you know with the pain
from like losing her baby so they both just kind of
found comfort and purpose in
their friendship it’s
never good when
you’re in a bad
place and you seek out companionship
other than the person that you are
in a relationship with like it that usually
doesn’t end well you know
and i mean here we are on this
monday upload so therefore i’m
pretty sure this won’t end well
great chris and
aaron had already
spent a good amount of time together within
their friend
group but with
their new bond they
started hanging out more
and more when like
their spouses
weren’t around
mm mm mm hmm
aaron she also
spent like a lot of her free time volunteering at
place called
white rock horse rescue
where chris and his wife nicole
also sponsored
horses at so
aaron would
spend a lot of her time there and chris
would end up
going over there as well
spending you know
a little bit of
extra time with
aaron at the barn
without his wife around
they were becoming very
close and aaron felt like
she finally had somebody like to really talk to and
someone to really express how she was feeling inside
and and chris felt the same way then on
sunday night in february of 2014
chris and his wife nicole went over to
aaron and john’s to
watch a new episode of the walking dead together now
aaron she wasn’t really into the show so much because
she felt like it was a little too violent for her
so she hung out for a bit and then she like
headed off to her bedroom to play some
video games instead
so chris sees
aaron take off
and instead of hanging out with his wife and john
watching the show
he gets up and he heads to the bedroom to hang out with
aaron and play
video games
so chris he
loved the walking dead so it was a little
weird that he decided to not
watch it but i
guess like it wasn’t
weird enough
to catch his
wife’s attention because she didn’t follow him
not that she
should but you know what i’m saying
so john and nicole
are in the living room
watching the walking dead
and chris and
aaron are hanging out sitting on the
floor playing
video games in
aaron’s bedroom
i guess all of a
sudden just out of nowhere
one of them
pauses the video game and aaron
like kind of glances over at chris and i
guess it must have been kind of like a sexy glance
because then they
started just like
making out yeah they just
started making out
in the bedroom mind you
very bold move to do when your husband and wife are
right in the other room
watching tv but okay sure
do that kiss
great they did
and this kiss
would end up like leading them
to becoming involved in their own
love affair
so the love
affair between the two became pretty hot and
heavy pretty
quickly they were
sneaking around a lot and it wasn’t long
until they started having more
serious conversations
about leaving
their partners
so they can be together instead
and to top it off chris
he would constantly tell
aaron like how
great she was with his
baby who was six years old
her name was
liberty and
aaron would
occasionally
babysit her
and he was like oh my gosh like
liberty loves you like
i know you’re gonna be a
great stepmom
and he’s saying this to
aaron and aaron’s all like
oh my god yeah i know i can’t wait like she’s getting
super hyped
i don’t know i just feel
like involving your kid like that’s pretty messed up
but okay chris is all
wrapped up in his affair with
aaron right
so he’s kind of
checking out from his
marriage nicole
chris’s wife
she starts to notice how distant her husband was
becoming and like
she knew something something was just not right
you know so what does she do
checks his phone of course
yeah it’s a huge invasion of privacy
but you know
if her man is cheating
she wants to know
so nicole just waits for her perfect moment to
grab chris’s phone
and you know
check it read his text messages and stuff
and when she does she sees text messages between chris
and aaron mm
hmm and when she saw a text message that said
you’re so gorgeous i
think i’m falling for you
it wasn’t good
it wasn’t good i’m sure that hurt
right in the stomach ugh
makes you sick you know
so nicole’s like shit man
i knew something was up
it’s the neighbor though like i
trusted this girl
with baby singing
our kids we’ve been hanging out we’ve been
i thought we were friends so
she’s pissed for good reason so
first she finds chris and then she just goes off
as she should you know
and the two just get into a
verbal argument for
hours and then
because it takes two to tango
nicole marches
right over to john and aaron’s
place next door
and tells john
about the affair his wife was having with chris oh
it’s getting
super messy lots of
drama going on
and there’s just a lot of bickering
fighting amongst everybody
and it’s just a long
night with everybody yelling
at one another accomplishing not much of anything but
just let it out girl
so they’re just all fighting
together great
and eventually
aaron she just is
over it and she’s like you know what i’m done i don’t
need this anymore like i just need to get out of here
everyone is in her
house and they’re
just yelling at one another and that’s when
aaron just decides you know what i’m
gonna leave and
and aaron goes to
leave when nicole stops her
shoves her finger in
aaron’s face and
screams at her
if you ever have anything else to do with my husband
i’ll kill you myself
nicole went off
for good reason
again you know
that was her friend someone she
trusted how dare you
i’m assuming here that
john was pissed off as well but he stayed pretty quiet
about his feelings and thoughts on the
whole situation
like with the public even
later on you barely hear from him he was just a very
quiet guy i mean i feel like we
should be that way you know
so good for
him can’t be mad at it but what i’m getting at is
i don’t know what his reaction was to
finding out
that his wife is having an affair with the neighbor
but i’m assuming he’s upset
so after this huge blow up
aaron and chris they decide you know what
it’s best if we just call it quits it was fun
while it lasted
you know but
we need to stop and just
focus on our marriages
whatever well
they call it quits and a couple of weeks go by
just a couple of weeks
and of course the
two cannot resist one another but they both knew that
their love affair was
gonna have an
expiration date
because chris’s service in the marines was
scheduled to end on july fourth 2014
when his service was over the plan was for him
his wife nicole and
their baby to move back to alaska
and that was approaching
pretty quickly it was
literally a few weeks away something happens
right before the
their big move back to alaska
aaron finds out that she’s pregnant
but this time
instead of being
super jazzed and
going to facebook and like posting about it
she wasn’t really sure how to feel
it’s believed she felt
this way because she wasn’t sure who the father was
her husband john or her
lover chris i
think she knew it was chris’s because she
would tell chris that she was pregnant
but she couldn’t say for sure
ooh you’re in a pickle
you fucked up
you fucked up
this is a side note but if you’re
going to have an affair the
least you can do is wear a condom
it’s not that hard
it’s not that hard if you’re
gonna do it at
least be smart
you can’t be making
stupid choices
and then make another
stupid choice
by not no no
absolutely not
if you’re gonna be
stupid you gotta be
smart about it wrap it up
thank you for coming to my
ted talk on june
twenty eighth
twenty fourteen
chris was supposed to go coyote
hunting with his
buddy out in
joshua tree national park
he told his friend
that he wanted to go hunt for coyotes
but also there was a
bunch of abandoned mine
shafts out there
and he thought it
would be super
exciting to go and explode
a propane tank in one of the mine shafts
you know just for the hell of it
so chris is
super jazzed
about this he’s all
excited to go
but his friend
that was supposed to go with him called him up last
minute and had a bail
so he’s all bombed he’s like damn it
whatever i’ll just go by myself and blow stuff up
that’s what chris is saying
and that’s what he does he’s just
gonna go by himself
that’s fine
now it’s a super strange coincidence here
but aaron was also
planning to go over to joshua tree that day
she told her husband john that she was
going out to joshua tree
to kind of like
scope out some
places to take her mom
when she came out to visit them
so she tells john goodbye she’s heading out for the day
she leans over she gives him a kiss she says i love you
he says love you back
and then she heads out to
joshua tree
mind you joshua tree it’s not that far from 29 palms
they’re kind of
close it’s like just one big desert
i’m not sure what
aaron was looking for out there but
that’s where she was
going so those are the stories that chris and aaron
told people
right chris is
going out to hunt coyotes by himself and aaron was
going to look for
places to take her mom however
turns out the relationship between the two of them
was far from over
a couple of
days before they both headed out to the desert
chris told aaron
that he had a surprise for her and
asked her to meet up with him
in joshua tree
aaron who again is pregnant with
her lovers baby
maybe we don’t know she was
excited because she thought that
chris was asking her to meet out there because he was
going to propose to her
or maybe like
break the news
that he was finally ending it between his wife
and would be with aaron now
and then they
could live happily ever
after you know
so it’s believed
that this is why
aaron was going out there
to joshua tree
not to spot out
places to visit her mom
she was going there to
meet up with chris
back at home john
aaron’s husband
he was texting her throughout the day but
he wasn’t getting any response from
aaron and by the time
night rolls around
aaron is still not home
and she’s not answering her calls
her texts nothing
super strange very unlike her sometime goes by and
aaron is still not home
so john he files
a missing persons report with the police
they come out and they ask him questions
and at first they assumed that
maybe she got lost
so the joshua tree national park
it’s really big it’s flat
so it is possible she
could have gone for a hike
or something and if she didn’t plan
correctly it
could be highly possible that she
was out wandering the desert suffering from dehydration
like there’s
literally not much around so
that is definitely a possibility
and if that is really the case then
aaron would not last long okay
so police they go out to joshua tree
and they end up finding her car abandoned
but it was nowhere near
the entrance of the park
where she said she was
gonna be at
so police they
start investigating all the people in
aaron’s life to see what they could find
as with most husbands john was immediately
on top of their interest list
but after talking to people around the base
john was ruled out very
quickly as a possible suspect
because there were many people
who saw john at the base pretty much the whole day
so there was no way
john could have been involved with the disappearance of
aaron then the cops
start talking to friends and neighbors and they learn
not only of chris and
aaron’s not so
secret affair
but also that aaron
may have been pregnant
they also got word
about this special surprise chris had
planned out in the desert
so naturally police
have to go find chris
and figure out what the hell is
going on so police
they don’t have to look far he is a neighbor
right so they go to chris and they ask
um hey do you know what happened to aaron
and chris tells investigators that
he and aaron were just acquaintances and nothing more
he only knew
aaron because they both volunteered at the
horse ranch place and
that was it
now at this
point police already knew
about the affair
so red flags are just a fly in
he’s lying what’s he hiding
three days go by and then chris was brought
in to the police department to be formally questioned
this is where chris
finally admits to
investigators that he was having an affair with aaron
but he swore
up and down that it was only on an emotional
level and they
never went past kissing
investigators were like so you guys aren’t having you
know sex and chris
just said no
we’ve only kissed
which was a bold face lie
the questioning between chris and police goes on for
about three hours
and then police decide to change
tactics and
start a more
aggressive type
of questioning
not even questioning it’s
where they just like tell you lies
to get you to confess you know what i’m talking about
right i don’t know how it’s
legal but they
freaking do that and they trap you but it works so
anyways what i’m getting at is
police are telling chris that
they knew he met with
aaron that morning she went missing
and they call
him out on being one of the last people to see
aaron alive
which isn’t a lie
but it was kind
of exaggerated because they didn’t really know
that so they’re saying this in hopes that chris kind of
starts talking but
chris doesn’t give in to
those questions and he tells police that
he did not see her that saturday morning
and then cops they push back harder
telling him that he knew she was pregnant with his
child chris once
again just holds his ground
deny deny deny
and says she wasn’t
pregnant with my baby there’s no way like you’re lying
so he’s just
lying over and over to police
and they know that he’s
lying but chris isn’t budging at this point they
strongly believe that
aaron’s case isn’t a missing
person’s case but it’s now a homicide investigation
and chris is at the top
of their possible
suspects list
cause he’s all sorts of suspicious
like come on
but at this
point they really don’t have any evidence proving
that he did anything so they can’t arrest him yet
yet to be honest i’m not sure why chris’s wife
nicole wasn’t high on the possible suspect list
because she did threaten to kill aaron
but she wasn’t
you know and that’s okay because
maybe she wasn’t
involved police are believing that chris is
their man though because he has a motive
a possible baby with his mistress
he didn’t want
aaron’s pregnancy
getting out
and like ruining whatever was left of his already rocky
marriage right
they knew he had a
rifle that he was taking with him to go coyote hunting
and the fact that he was
going out to joshua tree
alone the same day
aaron went missing
he may have
had plenty of time to do whatever it was he was doing
if you know what
i’m saying plus the fact that police knew chris was
lying to them
about the affair
honestly all signs are
pointing to you chris
sorry you know
they just needed to actually get him to confess though
or some kind of evidence
proving that this was true now
investigators are
worried that chris
might try and make a run for it
you know cause he hasn’t been arrested
yet so they’re looking for any reason to make an arrest
so when investigators
find out that chris owned a potato gun
they were excited
oh yes a potato gun yep
it’s considered an explosive
and illegal in the
state of california
so after you know they got this information they
went to find chris because
he’s gonna be arrested
so police go out locate chris and they arrest him but
chris isn’t in jail long
so chris lawyers up
and he makes bail pretty quickly
but because
of this it gives police the ability to tell him not to
leave town so he can’t go to alaska like he was
planning you know
that’s what they fear
so meanwhile the police are searching
every square inch of joshua tree looking for aaron
they end up
covering like
1200 square miles
and they even have six different law enforcement
agencies and hundreds of volunteers
covering the ground helping look for her
so the searching goes
on for weeks and police can’t seem to find a single
trace of aaron
now keep it in mind it’s summer
joshua tree is in the desert of california
and it’s hot as
balls out there i’m talking like
120 degrees you know
so these poor
search parties
they are sweaty exhausted
and trying their best to just not get dehydrated
anyways so after two
months of looking
authorities they make the very difficult decision
that saturday august sixteenth
twenty fourteen
would be their
final day of
searching for aaron
just nothing just no sign
as luck would have it
the woman running the rescue
horse ranch
where aaron and chris volunteered at
she came across some
photos some very unusual
photos that chris
had taken i
guess like a week before
aaron disappeared
chris had gone around and taken some
photos of some abandoned mines
now this was concerning
and this woman she turned in the
photos to police who then
brought it to a
local cave and mine
expert who was able
to determine
where exactly
these photos were
taken okay a
break you know
so the search and rescue team they head
to these abandoned mine
shafts in a remote
area of the high desert near joshua tree national park
and just right outside of the 29
palms marine corp base where
aaron’s husband was stationed the crew goes to one mine
shaft where they
lower a camera down into the mine
and that’s where they find
aaron’s body
laying hidden
140 feet at
the bottom of this abandoned mineshaft yeah
jeez so the investigation at the
crime scene was
able to give some insight into what happened to erin
they see that
wrapped around her neck was a homemade
grot a fancy word for like a weapon that’s
handheld and made of chain rope
wire or fishing line
and is used to strangle a person
yeah that is a fancy word
she was strangled okay
so this leads investigators to conclude that
aaron was strangled to
death before she was
dropped down into this mine shaft
at the bottom of the mine
shaft they find other
pieces of evidence
police found
rifle shots around the body
and a propane tank
tied to her
now this was suggesting
to police that the killer attempted to burn her body
by shooting the propane tank
but luckily this person had a bad shot
i guess because it wasn’t successful
they also found
a little like homemade
torch made up of a marine corp shirt
wrapped around a
stick which
it was sent to be tested for dna and
ta da guess what
chris’s dna
all over it but if that wasn’t enough there was one
other piece of evidence at the bottom of that mine
shaft that confirmed chris’s involvement
there was a
sprite bottle with a cap
still on it
and they sent it away to be tested for dna
and it came back with two different
people’s dna on it
aaron and chriss
mm hmm this was like
the hardcore evidence that cops needed to finally
arrest chris and charge him with
first degree murder
and a special charge of
lying in wait
which i had
never heard of but when they go to arrest him
chris is nowhere to be found nene
he was gone
vanished you
think he’s gonna
stick around
of course not
oh get this though
aaron’s body was sent off to the corners
and when the report came back
it was confirmed that
aaron was actually
not pregnant
now nobody really knows like
the wind the what the
where the how of all of it but many thought that
maybe aaron was
lying to chris
in hopes that he
would stay in
the relationship or just stay with her in general
am i saying this is the case
no but it was mentioned
does this mean she deserved any of this no
absolutely not
it’s just unfortunate to think that
maybe this lie
might have accelerated the
whole situation you know
like that sucks
and maybe she actually thought she was pregnant though
so after some
searching police are able to locate chris
chris his wife nicole
and their daughter
liberty had indeed
moved to alaska as they originally
planned now chris was told to stay put
he obviously didn’t give a rat’s ass bye
you know fuck that guy anyway
they head up to alaska and they are able
to arrest chris
and when they
search his car the cops discover
more evidence confirming that they indeed have the
right guy when they’re
searching chris’s
phone and computer
they find google
searches on how to dispose of a body
and in his car they
found the grote
i hope i’m probably not saying that groot
i like the one that was
found wrapped around
aaron’s neck
again just really
sealing the deal that chris was indeed
involved no ifs ants
or buts hmm no
this is a side note but i couldn’t help but
think this is
whole time have you ever noticed
that the new
age killers name is usually chris
and there always seems to be a nicole
close by can you
think of some
other cases
where that may be the case
because i most certainly can
i’m just kidding but like i noticed that because
chris and nicole
remember like chris watts and his
lover nicole
i don’t know just i don’t
think it means anything but i couldn’t help but notice
that’s all anyways
so he’s arrested
sitting in jail waiting for
trial trial
begins and the prosecution shows
their evidence
supporting their belief that chris lured
aaron into the desert
and killed her
to hide the affair that was
still going on between them
but not only that the fact that
aaron was pregnant as well
one of the witnesses they put on the
stand was the owner of the rescue
horse ranch
remember the
woman who turned in the
pictures that helped them find aaron
yeah so she went on record saying that she
spoke to nicole
chris’s wife
right after
aaron went missing
and that nicole seemed
super uptight
i guess whatever that means nicole
ended up telling the
this woman that
she had wished
aaron was dead and she
wouldn’t care if
aaron was dead not a good look nicole you know
and then nicole said something super
suspicious she’s like
if there’s no body there’s no case
we knew nicole
was pissed but was she pissed
off enough to actually follow through with that threat
i don’t know you know like i
think a lot of times when you’re really angry
you say something like oh my god i
would i’m gonna kill him i’m
gonna kill her whatever like
cause you’re mad but you don’t actually mean it
and then in cases like this
would you imagine if you said that and then
that person
actually died and you’re like oh shit like you know
so maybe that’s the case
but no anyways
so the ranch owner also told the court
about how chris and she were having some
small talk i wish i
could talk i can’t even talk
where chris went on
to tell her that he had done some exploring around and
found a certain mine
shaft that nobody would find
he’s telling this to the owner of the horse
and then he was all
super casual and
asked her like hey
can i borrow your
propane tank i want to use it to play some games
for some reason the owner
she didn’t think anything of
it and she she gave him a propane tank is that a thing
don’t try that
please don’t try that
sounds very dangerous
fires we don’t need it
the prosecution
also brings in a criminalist
who testifies that the firing pin markings on a 22
caliber bullet
casing which was
found near the same mine
where aaron’s body was
found it matched
the rifle that chris had left back at the
ranch it’s really not looking over you chris
but then on november 4th
2016 the trial takes
an unexpected turn
while chris is on the
stand the prosecutor
asked chris
if he was the person who strangled
aaron and it was like a bomb went off in the
courtroom ca
boomy you know chris replied with
three little words that just turn this
whole case upside down
those three words you ask well
it was a confession
well he said yes i am
those were the
three words yes i am
the one who strangled her
so great but this
threw everybody off like why is he all of a
sudden confessing
what’s the game plan with this move you’re doing sir so
chris goes on to tell the
court that he indeed
strangled aaron in a fit of rage
but now that he had time to calm down and really
think about his actions
he wanted to come
clean and do the
right thing
i just want to be the good guy
he told the
court that at
first he was afraid to tell the
truth but also in the back of his mind he was
thinking that he
could possibly get away with it
he admitted to
still being very
angry at the time so he didn’t want anyone to find her
but then he
went on to say that he’s no longer afraid to tell the
truth and that he
wanted to let everyone know what he did
and would accept the punishment that they gave him
which sounds like okay
great you know
but hold on
cause he’s got a little plan up his sleeve
so chris calmly tells the superior
court what went down the
night aaron died chris said that he took
aaron out to the desert near
joshua tree national park for a surprise
instead of a romantic
surprise proposal like
aaron thought was happening
they ended up outside of mine
where they start to
argue chris explains that he told aaron
that he was moving to alaska
and that their relationship was
over aaron was
super upset
she was like i
still love you i
wanna be with you i
could go to alaska with you i just want
to be a part of you and your
child’s life begging him to stay and chris
says that this makes some very mad for some reason
and yells at her like
leave my daughter out of this this is my daughter
just like getting
super angry that
she mentioned his
daughter and for some reason
her mentioning
caring about his
daughter just really
triggered something deep in him so chris is
super pissed and he’s
screaming at aaron
and then out of nowhere out of the blue he
asked aaron
if she had been molesting his
daughter wait
what really
he thinks she
was molesting his kid this is what he’s telling the
court mind you but then it gets worse
he says that aaron
admits to it
i’mma take a little
pause here and say that in my personal opinion
i believe that chris was
lying because he wanted to give
a valid reason as to why he got so
angry and strangled
slash murdered her i am sure you’re
thinking the same
thing but i just wanted to make that clear so
chris is telling the
court that aaron was actually molesting her
and everyone was just supposed to believe it
i guess there no
proof he just said
says it chris goes on to tell the
court that one
night after nicole had given
their baby a bath
she noticed that the little girls
lower area was red and
irritated earlier that day
aaron had been babysitting
the the kid so chris said that
the more he thought
about the situation
the more like the gears were turning in his head
so at the mine he confronted her and was like did you
touch my daughter did you molest my daughter
and chris said that’s when
aaron confessed to molesting his daughter
and he was just
shocked he was so
shocked he was just
shocked and
angry and in
that moment he made the decision to kill her he’s
still trying
he is still
trying to get out of this
chris told the
court that he was controlled by the anger
and he then
went on to say that it was something he
never wanted to
experience again
chris told the
court he then approached
erin from behind and he strangled her for at
least five minutes
and when he released his hold she fell to the ground
and then after 30 seconds of
searching for any signs of life chris was confident
that she was
dead he then
dragged her body to the mine
shaft and pushed aaron
into it head first
so during chris’s testimony
his attorney
briefly questioned
him with the sole purpose of emphasizing that
aaron’s death was not premeditated
but the district attorney was
focusing on chris’s lies he told to investigators
and not admitting responsibility
until he was in
court and in
front of an audience
so the da accused chris
of wanting the attention and making
aaron’s death
about him he also accuses chris of
spinning a story
about this molestation of his daughter
as a way to get sympathy
from the jury which
he’s hoping it
would give him like a lesser charge
maybe involuntary manslaughter
but nene chris
no one believed you the jury saw
right through your dumbass
and it only took them
about 15 minutes to come back with the verdict
he was convicted of
first degree murder
and on tuesday november 29th 2016
he was sentenced to life in prison
without parole
bye bye at chris’s sentencing hearing
aaron’s mother she read a
statement to the court
about how she couldn’t
understand why
anyone would
think murderer was okay
she said if chris wanted to get rid of his problems all
he had to do was move to alaska and change his number
like why did you have to kill her
john remember the husband
aaron’s husband he gave little
statements and interviews and stuff
there was one interview he gave
where he said that he hated like the actions that chris
chose but he had to forgive him
because if he
still held onto that hatred it was just
gonna pull him down
which is like really big of them
he’s so quiet i hope he’s okay
i’m sure that had to be
freaking hard
he hasn’t given many interviews or made any
statements and he’s just all around a pretty
quiet guy and that’s probably for the better
hope he’s doing all
right during all of this nicole
chris’s wife she stayed out of the public eye
and wasn’t there for chris’s sentencing
at chris’s sentencing he did address the court
he confessed to killing his
girlfriend to save humanity
god but he did apologize to
aaron’s friends and family for the hurt and pain
that he had
caused them
saying that he didn’t want to kill
aaron and he didn’t plan on it but
weirdly even after confessing and
being found guilty he
still continue to
stick with the same
story he still has been saying
that this is what happened christopher lee is now 31
and he’s incarcerated at the
california institution for men
a state prison located in chino
san bernardino county
as per his sentencing the ex marine
will spend the rest of his natural life behind bars
good honestly like this is
tragic i feel like you hear stories like this
whole time in
2020 dateline all that
stuff where it’s like
somebody cheats
things get messy
and somebody gets murdered but with this one that chris
he was very dramatic
okay the fact that he put her in a mine
shaft the propane tank
like come on
something loose in his head so i’m glad
he got caught because that’s terrifying
i don’t care what you have to say if someone
cheats or whatever they don’t deserve to die so
if i see comments like that i’m
gonna shut down tell you to shut the fuck up
roundhouse kick you to the face because look
yes she had an affair whatever
but no one deserves to die over an affair so i just
it never fails
i always see comments like that like no she deserved it
no she didn’t i wish this had like a happier ending
right this whole case is just
super horrible not only does this guy
kill his girlfriend
girlfriend with his baby
but he then accuses her of being a
child molester
knowing that she can’t
stand up for herself how
dare you that’s very jody
areas of you
freaking terrible
human i hope you rot
goodbye you won’t be missed
chris anyways i
would love to hear your guys
thoughts down below
i mean what can we say really anywho
i hope you have a wonderful rest of your day
today you make good choices
let me know
down in the comment section who you want me to talk
about next time
but other than that i’ll be seeing you guys later
