These cases are very interesting to me, likely because I have a tiny connection to them.

Scott Peterson’s older brother, his wife + sons lived right across the street from me in a corner house on a cul-de-sac.
Apparently Peterson’s folks let them live there.

I attended the same church as them & Janey Peterson (the wife) was my son’s Awana Leader.
Her son, Jacob Peterson was in my Awana group.
He was in third grade at the time.

When Lacey initially went missing, Janey put tons of “Missing Person” posters throughout the neighborhood.
Even when Lacey’s body was found - she never removed the posters.
She was a friendly, Christian woman to my family.
However she always backed up her BIL Scott which I never understood.

And sometime last summer, I saw a group (about five) women by the bay in San Diego/Coronado.
One was Shan’nan I believe.
I thought it odd that all 5 women had on these colored patches.
I asked one of them (not Shan’nan) if they were nicotine patches because I had never seen any so colorful.
The woman chuckled and said no.
It was an energy patch with white caffeine leaf.

I actually thought the patches looked odd.
Kinda like stickers for grown women.

PP, you do not sound well. You think that you saw this woman in San Diego last summer and you lived across the street from a relative of Scott Peterson and you think that that makes it totally justified to post these long, flowery quasi poems about this crime, watch videos of this woman's children online, not just once, but over and over again while crying about it?

That is not a normal response to this situation. You need help.

Will you stop, she already explained. Doesn't make her unwell. If anything we're probably all unwell for taking such a interest in this case.

I'll stop when she does. She doesn't actually have any connection to it. She is overly identified with a horrible crime. That does not indicate psychological stability.

People are interested in crime. Bookstores have a true crime section, there are TV shows and movies about crimes. That doesn't indicate a psychological problem.

Don't believe she said that, along with some other things he claimed about her. It makes him more sympathetic if the wife is painted as a B. When he made that stupid comment about how he shouldn't be defined by one single act I knew he told some lies about Shannan.

What I do believe. He wishes he never met Nicole, ignored her advances, stayed out in the field at work, and wished Shanann didn't leave for 5 weeks. He said they had a good marriage up until the affair. Very typical of men who cheat. And he was feeling pressure from Nicole who would throw a tantrum when he needed to be back home.

Fatal Attraction.

Read the comments below. Real bad over acting, didn't care at all about Shanann. I almost wonder if she is also a sociopath like Chris.

And here I'm wondering why you're obsessing about her.....

Repeatedly watching videos of other people's deceased children and crying does.

Crime is B-I-G right now in pop culture.

It fascinates us.
It intrigues is.
And yes, for some it can obsess us.

Crime books are a very popular genre as are movies and television shows.
The reason this Watts crime is so interesting is that it features a young family, all nice-looking, middle-class & White.
They appear to be perfect.
Loving, loyal + dedicated.

Then the Father, So doting and caring suddenly does a seemingly 360 degree flip.
He wants to sell their beautiful house, have a hot affair with a younger woman and in the process, wipe out his current family.

How could a seemingly normal person, well-liked by all accounts with zero history of violence simply “snap?”
If just ONE person can do this -
Then anyone else can too.
It defines human logic and traumatizes the mind a bit.

"It defines human logic and traumatizes the mind a bit."

I think this is it for me. I don't watch crime shows or read crime books but these cases just haunt me. I don't talk about them with other people, so articles and this sort of forum is the only processing I do around it. I'm disturbed that I'm so disturbed by it, but I really am. I wish there was any way to make sense of it.

I'm also super disturbed by the the recent case in which the (ex?) boyfriend violently beat his baby's mother to death, and his new girlfriend cleaned up the crime scene. My mind just cannot comprehend, it is so f'ing disturbing.

Why in the hell not just LEAVE? Like, abandon your family and go live with your girlfriend, how would that be more devastating than violently murdering innocent and unsuspecting wife and children?

That’s the Colorado mom - Kelsey Burreth. He murdered her. Set the body on fire, chopped up and dispersed it in the river.

Meanwhile we had people arguing on here that she was still alive and had voluntarily decided to leave her baby on Thanksgiving Day. Just for jollies.

Stories like Shannan and Kelsey’s wakes up the oblivious. Shanann was murdered by her husband and Kelsey was murder by the man her mother thought was still her fiancée.

"Stories like Shannan and Kelsey’s wakes up the oblivious."

Oblivious to what, though? I think part of what's hard about these stories is what can we take away and learn from? Shannan seemed to have no indication that her husband would be capable of that. No idea about Kelsey, but that man was trying to murder her 3x via his girlfriend before he just did it himself, which makes me think she had no notion either. I'm just not sure what to make of any of it.

Chris, is a handsome/loving/engaged Father as well as husband.
He works hard to provide for his family while also playing often w/his two adorable young daughters who are just so adorable + precious.

Shan’nan, an attractive/ambitious/outgoing & loving Mother who dedicated her entire life to her family.
Vivacious and down-to-earth, she looks like she would be a great friend to have.

Smiling family pictures paint a rosy, happy family.
ALL American Dream.....

Your language is flowery and over the top and makes me think that you have issues.

This is a middle class white family. That is not "America" to an awful lot of people in America.

It's funny how people on this site will go on and on about how if you post your perfect family life all over social media, you are almost certainly doing it to conceal the negative aspects of the family. Yet you don't seem to focus on those things at all. It was clearly not a rosy, happy family.

This.

The prolific PP- did you get any kind of education? I’m curious.

So it's fine for you to be curious but not fine for PP to be interested in this sensational crime?

You're a jerk.

I’m not that curious and think the posts cited by a few posters are honestly creepy. I’m sorry and sickened by these deaths but there’s essentially no mystery in it for me. Simmer down.

This case interests many of us due to the severity of it.

We all are trying to reasonate how such a loving and engaged parent suddenly feel he has to murder his own children.....??!

Not one person (experts included!) can give a definitive, logical reason for why he did what he did.
It scares us as a society that even ONE individual could be capable of doing something so horrific.
Perhaps we feel we should learn from this situation so that praise God.....
It never occurs again.

Ever.
