She Planned An Ambush Attack On Her Ex-Husband: The Murder Of Jared Bridegan

The fact that they had him killed after he’d dropped off the kids he had with her but weren’t concerned about potentially traumatising the daughter he had with his new wife is so sick

That poor child. The way she was saying no one will hurt you to her mama is absolutely awful.

Worst part of this case… is that he wouldn’t have really known who or why he was being killed. Maybe he assumed it was a robbery. His last moments, regardless, probably weren’t “my ex wife!” but “my baby girl”. That man almost certainly died terrified for his baby girl in the truck. That’s unfathomable and unforgivable in my opinion. Had it been obvious to him in some way it was at his ex wife’s doing… yeah, that’s terrible. But being clueless to the reason, scared, confused, and terrified your little girl might be next or might be kidnapped… unfathomable. Unforgivable.

So sad for the twins. How horrible to lose both parents in different ways while also knowing your mother killed your father.

So sad. It's painful to realize they used this man's kind nature and preyed on it. Meaning... he was KNOWN to be a good guy by everyone who knew him. They KNEW he would get out and move the tire. Many people would drive around it and not think twice. His kindness was literally how they trapped him. :(

It is outrageous that the twins have been left in their materal grandmother's care. What a travesty. They are susceptible to the influence of this woman. They are extremely traumatized children. Custody must be transferred to their paternal grandparents ASAP.

How do people still expect to get away with crimes like this in this day and age?! Honestly baffles me that they think they’re so sly and dots won’t get connected. So heartbreaking for Jared and his family.

The daughter saying how she wanted to protect her mom after she saw her dad killed broke my heart to pieces. That poor little girl.

How could Shanna just sit there and say she would never hurt her kids Dad…if she’s guilty that is sickening. Her children will hate her forever.

It’s always the kids that suffer the most. My heart goes out to them and hopefully they get counseling to help them work through this trauma.

FYI—Stampin’ Up is a multilevel marketing company. Her parents made their millions through a predatory business model, not because they ran a successful craft supplies company.

Shanna absolutely had no tears falling down during that interview. Please spare us all the terrible acting

My heart broke when their daughter said no one can hurt you to his wife 😢

She is so selfish. The children always lose both parents in cases like these.

This is so scary. . Bc What was their motive??? She had money, a husband and her kids... I can't think of a reason other than a grudge...

Hearing about Bexley hits really hard as a parent. her watching her own father get shot down, screaming and crying until a (kind) stranger holds her. Getting taken to a police station with no familiar faces while she waits for her mum to arrive. Trying to understand at such a young age that her dad is never coming back, and having to relive the trauma. Kirsten is an amazing person for being in this awful situation and using it to make a positive with the Bexley boxes. I wish Jared’s family all the healing and love 💜

So lemme get this straight. She didnt wanna do shared custody, so she conspires to have the father of her children murdered. Not only that, but the law would catch up with her eventually (although im pretty sure she thought she wouldn't be found out), resulting in her kids losing BOTH their parents?? Not only that, but his daughter had to witness his murder, and now she and her sister also lost their father. The selfishness of some people just disgusts me honestly. I doubt she'll get the death penalty though. Either that or she'll just sit on death row for life. 😒

Not to take away from the severity of this case but your kitty napping in the back is absolutely so comforting and just so cute. Thanks for awesome coverage you always hit the mark! Making sure the victim is always at the forefront.

imagine having loaded parents willing to keep you on their payroll for doing absolutely nothing and you this is what you choose to do with that privilege. smh

Killing your children’s father (regardless of how your relationship ended) is beyond selfish!!!
