Most of the women who end up dead or abused in their marriages had pretty pictures and optimistic hopes for what their future would turn out to be. Then things got complicated when "he" wanted X activities, or the finances were a mess, or the kids were stressing them,.... etc. Things can look pretty from the outside, and not be so nice on the inside.

She must have had clues there was something very wrong with him. And clues there was something going on with ap. I noticed she does not feature in posts.

Christine was middle aged, an equal, into fitness and positivity.

The au pair was like dating a teen. Was this all midlife crisis?

If they had stayed on LI, near family, would he never have gone off the rails? How could someone be capable of doing that then just go on, riding bike around neighborhood and tooling around in his new car and taking his girlfriend and her "assets" out to eat like Christine and Joe never existed?

They are going to let her sit in a cage for a few months to see if her chatty tales switch over to the truth in exchange for lesser sentence, time served and deported, something.

LE wants as much as possible to nail him. They only get one shot at it.

In that video, its clear they are coming for him. LE specifically mentions the little girl and how tragic this all is.

This. We had a Brazilian Au Pair before we went to rematch who was on a date her first weekend in country. Some get on the dating apps before they even arrive here.

Thanks for this! LE wants him sweating. He DOES need to be accountable.

There are people in the general public who still think Joe was a home invading killer. They need to hear how LE speaks and has always spoken about him and Christine, as victims. They were NOT buying Brendan's tall tales from the start and when he has refused to cooperate they really want a strong case. If they thought Juliana was the stabber, she would be charged. If Joe was the stabber, they would say so and likely Juliana would not have been charged at all. They would not be spending months and $$$ investigating. This man is very experienced and even the day of, his language and word choices conveyed what they thought happened. I so hope there will be justice. It's not much, but those monsters should not be living their best lives.

That poor child. She deserves to be safe too. Anyone who could do such an unthinkable thing is not safe for anyone to be around.

Wow.

"I got the impression very early on in the investigation that there was more at stake here. And since then our detectives have been working diligently.... At the moment we have charged the au pair with second degree murder. The case is far from over and there will be additional developments in this case. It's complicated, its relationship based. "

Other than what was actually said, the police chief seemed quite confident and not overly guarded in what he said. In my eyes, it did not seem like he was hedging, asking the public for more info, or preparing the public for a possibly open and unsolved case. I think they have a very clear idea of what happened and what their next moves are.

People cling to the idea of an intruder because it’s so unfathomable that a husband could do this to his wife, the mother of his child - possibly with his child in the home.

On the outside, the Banfields didn’t look much different than any other family.

Denial is a powerful thing. Husbands kill their wives all the time and get away with it. Disgusting.

To summarize, it's not a matter of if, but when BB gets arrested.

I had the same thought! Also I don’t know what it is about him, but he just looks like the type of guy who would blow up his entire life for the chance to be with a hot 23 year old.

Like… I dunno, I now see his pic and I’m like, “yep, stabbed his wife, ruined his life, ruined his kids life… all to be with his Au pair. This checks out”

^ like he was looking to relive those younger years, not count his lucky stars for the beautiful, confident, equal partner wife he had, their healthy child, careers, nice home. Like that sort of midlife crisis with much younger partner, almost half his age, came at what, 21? But to go to these lengths, the mind boggles. Those were human beings. And Christine held on all the way to the hospital.

We just had a horrible first time au pair experience and fired her and dropped the agency. I was angry at losing the Hoge placement fee to the agancy (bc they completely misrepresented the au pair - she didn’t have the skills they said she had and she had mental health issues that the agency knew about), but I keep thinking maybe we dodged a bullet?

You just bad luck. We have only had positive experiences with our au pairs.

We also had a terrible experience. We used one of the more expensive agencies that specializes in au pairs that are slightly older with some work experience. But she had criiplojng anxiety and could barely leave the house. From talking to lots of friends and neighbors with au pairs, it seems like about 25% are super great, 50% are okay/fine/some issues, and 25% are just terrible or have significant issues.

I would never hire someone from a foreign country to live in my home and care for my child. Au pair companies don't vet these girls. The girls come here for "cultural exchange" and I know of two divorces due to the husband f*ing the au pair in my small North Arlington neighborhood over the past 10 years.

We have hosted for a number of years, with no issues. We are friendly with all our former au pairs. Do not generalize.

Taking the child out may have been part of keeping her from going to look for mommy, if so.

Maybe, although it's completely ludicrous for anyone, especially someone in law enforcement to think they could pin the stabbing on someone else. The forensic evidence would never support that.

The other problem with this theory is that CB was still alive when she went to the hospital, so it's extremely unlikely he stabbed her in the middle of the night or whatever...

It’s hard to imagine, but the official designation of “alive” can be pretty broad. The reason why doctors take a long time to declare someone dead is because any electrical activity of the heart, any agonal breath, any murmur of a pulse is classified as “alive”. When paramedics arrive, they instantly go into advanced life saving mode - they intubate, push meds, shock - everything. They bag the patient on the way to the hospital and shock as needed to give them every chance. I have no idea what happened at the scene, but it’s not an uncommon scenario for emts to successfully resuscitate someone and get them to the hospital when they have really no chance of surviving much longer. If you take a look at other accident reports, many of them say they the patient was evac’d but died in hospital.
