In this episode of “True Crime News,” Lauren Johansen and Bricen Rivers were high school sweethearts, but that love turned dark when Bricen allegedly started beating her. Lauren managed to briefly escape his terror, but an incident in Nashville led to his arrest and, later, his freedom. He traveled to Lauren undetected due to a broken ankle monitor, then allegedly beat her to death. Plus, the man who killed UCLA grad student Brianna Kupfer in a Los Angeles furniture store learns his fate.
A broken ankle monitor and a beauty’s murder: How the system failed Lauren Johansen | Full episode

I sure hope Lauren's family is planning to sue that crap out of that court, she should still be alive, this is beyond heartbreaking!!!
Bro this is so fucked up this little coward brutalized her then munitulates everything to do this horrible tragedy
Ofc the guy is a Chad.
My story is similar, but I am lucky to be alive. we started dating in 12th. Things were great, until he developed a drug problem after graduation and a monster was born. I went to college and had a bright future, he did not and was jealous. He was 6’4/over 200lbs and I was 5’5/115lbs .. he overpowered me every time, even though I fought back and busted his nose once. The last physical incident happened in the parking lot of our job before our shift. He stole my car to go buy drugs.
I staggered into work bleeding and bruised and my coworkers were angels. They called 911, comforted me and took photos for the police.
He was arrested and let out within a month with a bogus restraining order. I had to face him in court, the judge lied and said he would be on the video monitor from the jail. Yet he was there with smug grin. The judge said she “wished she could do more” but he completed his 30 days. She issued a restraining order, which does nothing. He stalked me years until I answered my door with my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson by my side and he finally left me alone.
💔 My heart goes out to all of the families & loved ones dealing with these horrendous avoidable losses.
R. I. P. Lauren 🥀🪦🕯️🪽
Again, a monstrous predator let out to wreak havoc & take an innocent life.
R. I P. Brianna 🥀🪦🕯️🪽
This happens all to often & is judicially rectifiable, but no one bothers to do what's necessary except the victims & their families.
That judge needs to lose her license and get sued.
Linkin Park "Told you everything loud and clear. BUT NOBODY'S LISTENING"
If I was the dad I'd be in prison…
No human on earth could stop me for coming for him after that.
Why did LAPD Moore kill Brianna Kupfer with LAPD training gear…? How many more families is he going to stab?
Seems like he's threatening to stab the kids of anyone who don't volunteer their kids to marry their police/military gangbanger sons.
This father should sue!!! No one listened to this father's warning!!
After hearing what happened to this young lady and hearing her dad's pleas and the judge basically said screw them. Lowering his bond and allowing a man out that was caught in the act of beating this woman. She's partially responsible for this and I hope it haunts her everyday! She shouldn't be a judge
GPS monitoring is a joke
COME FOR THE JUDGE!!!!! That dad is so strong IK HE CAN GET ACTION TAKEN
COME FOR THE JUDGE!!!!! That dad is so strong IK HE CAN GET ACTION TAKEN
This is why people take matters into their own hands. We can’t rely upon our judicial system to protect us.
😢❤To Lauren family. This makers me mad.
Wish we could charge the judge with accessory to murder.
If that father maimed that guy when he beat his daughter, would that POS judge release him from jail? These abusive jerks need street justice. They don’t ever change.
Shame on that judge with the first case. She needs to be reprimanded, disbarred and charged.
why is it "the justice system" … it is these JUDGES … they are the ones making these idiotic decisions! they need to be held accountable
Man this was sad,the system fail this poor girl, and they should be charged also,the father told them,what this monster would do to his baby,but. I have 3 girls, tey all is grown now,and one is married,and the other two got a boyfriend, and I sit down, and I had a talk with all three of them guys, I told them if you hurt or kill my baby's, I'm coming for you all,and from that day,they is afraid of me,and I don't play games about my kids,I will go to prison or die for my babies, I live them,,but God going to take care of them for me,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The judge took pitty on him becuase he was a young white boy who reminded him of her grandson. "Boys will be boys" she probably said
This story made my blood boil. I will sue everybody till kingdom come, starting with that stupid judge!
Lives of two beautiful young women stolen by monsters. 😔
Dad killed her for fleeing Tennessee to California, and nearly escaping their KKK.
Either dad or his friends in police/military killed her, or someone involved in their surveillance scope of KKK/bikers/truckers killed her.
So sad my condolences to the family!!
This dad is playing dumb about the culture in town which he likely enforced. You don't want your UCLA grad student daughter escaping town, so he recruits a peckerwood to go after her. Even going so far to beat her up in a proxy attack. The dad and his klan community sacrificed her for nearly escaping their KKK, not the son.
This is a child predator father who is willing to murder his own daughter. This is why kids run to Santa Barbara, South Beach, and NYC.
STOP RELEASING KILLERS!!!
CAN VICTIMS COME BACK FROM THE DEAD?
NOPE, STOP RELEASING OR QUIT YOUR JOB AS A JUDGE, DA, LAWYER… ETC
THEY DON'T DESERVE FREEDOM.
FREEDOM IS ONLY FOR INNOCENT PEOPLE, NOT GUILTY OR GOOD BEHAVIOUR BS.
TOO LAZY TO TAKE OFF CAPS.
This dad is playing dumb about the culture in town which he likely enforced. You don't want your UCLA grad student daughter escaping town in a blue city, so he recruits a peckerwood son to go after her to keep her close. Even going so far to beat her up in a proxy attack. The dad and his klan community beat her, not the son.
This is a child predator father who is willing to murder his own daughter. This is why kids run to California and NYC.
Even going so far to literally off his own child just to avoid losing her and letting her succeed. What are you, Boko Haram? Are you a biker gang of "protecters"? You kidnap girls now?
This is and always has been old white klansmen in police. military, and intelligence work who kidnap kids. When they are denied (who the hell wants that kind of family anywhere near their family's finances, healthcare, or travels?), these peckerwoods threaten to shoot up schools, murder families in proxy attacks, and ram cars through parties.
We have these too in El Segundo and South Bay. We have to hide from these biker gangs and military families just to be able to manage to get good grades and work in peace and quiet. They are currently targeting Asian families for forced marriage and supermodels. Nobody is ever marrying a peckerwood or klansmen in police/military. It's not happening. You are too racist, backwards, and violent. You can't be trusted in blue cities. We have to gate off our compounds just to stay safe.
Even Israeli girls can't have fun at the raves because of them. Even kids in Martha's Vineyard have to hide because of them. Even Santa Barbara students have to hide. And Santa Monica College students. Even kids in IDAHO have to hide because of their KKK.
Effing Judges!! Whose side are they on? The WEF Cabal who pays most of the western leaders plus the Judges to obey them ?
This is what is going on in America! America does all that she can to protect the criminally insane and they don't care about the women! 😢
the judge should be fired and needs to be charged in this case the justice system failed lauren and lauren family he shouldn't of been realsed from jail
So the guy just sat and beat and beat her until she died. He obviously has no conscience! WTH is wrong with our justice system? Poor family!!
Epic fail of the justice system. f the stupid judge. Heartbreaking🥲
So is the judge going to face charges as well? How about the people who failed to contact the victim when he was released? This is unacceptable
Hope the rest of you find out honorable convicts gave this story justice in the last 5 mins, I'm out.. sickening.
😢
Even another single day of taxpayer provided food is a disgraceful waste in this case, not to mention hundreds of thousands in trial & and another annual average of 100k in the DOC.
System is so incredibly broken. Every aspect, from any perspective.
Stupid woke judge
Why do they put GPS on violent criminals? That is the dumbest, least preventative tactic. They should know better about DV victims
This happens all the time. Tragic and unnecessary loss of a beautiful life
That rich doctor has a gofundme. Greedy family. They want 2 million. Ridiculous. Oh , and he has another one for 5 million. The greed is sickening.
I was going to give, but forget that crap.. 😮😮
