43 thoughts on “Killer Dad Threw His 5-Year-Old Daughter Off a Bridge to ‘Save Her’”
  1. Even if he was found insane instead of guilty, his fate would have been the same: locked up and going nowhere. The insanity defense doesn't let people off. Sometimes, it's even worse than regular prison. Perhaps he was lucky to be found guilty.

  2. I couldn’t imagine, the one person I’m supposed to feel the safest with, then….throws me off a 70ft bridge.
    Im heart broken for Phoebe!
    R.I.P baby Girl

  3. He threw a child over a bridge! If thats not intent to harm I dont know what is!! And he didnt "drop" her, he threw her!!!

  4. How do these…people find someone to marry and consciously decide to give them children while really great people stay single and have a a hard time finding someone? How?

    Misogyny is a hate crime. Period.

  5. What made this cop think there’s any indication of any fire fight ??? If the father had unstable mental health issues why did he have custody of a 5 y.o. child ???

  6. They let him lean into his car & grab his child, walk over throwing her off the bridge then get into his car & drive off… ¯⁠⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯wtf

  7. Who had a kid with this guy?
    Let alone left the child alone with him.
    He looks like something out of a horror film.
    He looks like one of the horror characters like Dracula or something but the TEMU version.

  8. The baby looks exactly her father , the dad is the most insane person I have ever seen in my life.Who does this ?

  9. If he had such recorded mental health problems, why was the little girl living with him to begin with?!?! Throughout the trial until the guilty conviction, he was smiling a kind of creepy grin like he thought he was going to get away with murder. But when he was convicted, that grin went and he had a look on his face that said it all, guilty and caught outright.

  10. OMG look at him, he has evil creepy murderer built in, his face is like a flashing warning sign, I'm surprised his ex-wife is still alive.

  11. How do you, as that officer, continue to live a normal life??? That would be the most…… soul destroying thing to be a part of. My heart breaks for this officer, his family and the family of this precious little girl 😢

  12. 9:24
    “…whom he loved more than anybody in the world.”
    Well, it’s very apparent that his hatred for his mother & ex far outweighed ANY love he “had” for that precious child.

  13. It is scary to think that people with such serious mental health problems are living among us. I worry about the safety of other children whose parents have mental illness.
