[Ariel Turk] I didn't want
them to get married.

It took everything out of me
not to object.

But I didn't want
to ruin that fantasy.

What is it about this man
that she's so drawn to?

I was honestly very frightened
for her and the girls.

I was very afraid.

I was very afraid.

[ominous music playing]

[Ariel] As long as
he was gonna

make everything right,
then she was gonna
stick beside him.

The Beauty and the Beast, but
without the Beast changing.

[Olivia] What you doing?

[Christopher Jones speaking]

[man on dispatch speaking]

[man on dispatch speaking]

[sniffles] She deserved more.

You know?

[Christopher speaking]

[pensive music playing]

[Joshua Simmons] We grew up
in a household of five.

Five siblings,
and Olivia being the oldest,

me being the second oldest.

me being the second oldest.

Olivia was a beautiful person
inside and out.

She was just very loving
and caring.

And we're less than
a year apart,
so when I graduated,

I moved out of my mom's house

and moved with Olivia
and her husband.

And my sister wanted
to bring me under her wing,

basically show me
how to find a job.

basically show me
how to find a job.

I would always say...
call her "Fabulous Olivia"

so this probably
one of those moments.

She got the shades on,
the drink,

got her nails done
and the swimsuit.

So this was just
Olivia being fabulous.

I know she was
my sister-in-law,

but I always say
she was my sister.

'Cause we talked
about everything.

[Joshua] Olivia went into,
um, the tax business where...

she became very successful.

She was just always
in... into something

that was business-oriented.

[Joshua] This is when...

Olivia first became a mom.

This is my sister Courtney,

this is Olivia,

this is my mother
when she had short hair,

and this is, uh, Ariel.

and this is, uh, Ariel.

Mom looks so young. [chuckles]

She looks so young.

It was pretty cool growing up.

We used to go camping a lot,

going swimming, climbing trees
and stuff like that.

She always made sure
that we had everything.

[indistinct chatter on video]

Basically a kid's,
like, fantasy.

[Brittney] The divorce
with her and Al was
very upsetting to her.

Very disappointing.

[melancholy music playing]

I feel like it...

also made her insecure
in areas.

And she was still just trying

to make sure that
her and the girls were good.

[Ariel] She really
had to start over.

She definitely did
wanna meet someone new.

She definitely did
wanna meet someone new.

She wanted to get
that family aspect back.

[Brittney] She seemed
reluctant, you know,

to kind of move forward,

but, you know,
I told her, I say

"Hey, you gotta put yourself
out there, you know?

You need to date.
You know, have fun again."

[Ariel] I knew that
she wanted to find someone

that was actually
gonna love her.

And just be all for her.

[Joshua] When I first
heard the news that
Olivia had met someone,

I welcomed it,
because I want
to see her happy.

She always talked about
how cute he was

and he has a good job.

[Joshua] He worked for
the state of Texas as
a prison guard.

You would think that,
as a prison guard,

they would be some type
of protective for
their families, for sure.

[speaking inaudibly]

[cheering on television]

[Joshua] As long as
I can remember as
a kid growing up,

we used to have
football Sundays,
where on a Sunday,

you come together,
you come at somebody's house

and there's a lot
of good food to eat

and there's a lot
of good football to watch.

Football Sundays
at [chuckles] my in-laws'...

[indistinct chatter from TV]

...I had never seen
anything like it

until I married
into this family.

[speaking inaudibly]

[speaking inaudibly]

We would go
straight after church

and stay there until,
like, ten o'clock,

sometimes later.

Everybody'd still be there,
be a packed house.

[Joshua] Just a lot
of good family time,

and a lot of good family fun,

and Olivia was the centerpiece
of all of that.

[Brittney] First time
I met Chris,

I remember
Miss Anita offering him,
which is my mother-in-law,

offering him some food.

Olivia was sitting
next to him,

Olivia was sitting
next to him,

and he said, "Yeah, you can
go fix me something to eat."

He told Olivia to
go and fix the food.

And I just kind of
brushed it off.

I said, "Well, maybe
he's just one of those guys,

you know, very old school."

[Ariel] The first time
I met Christopher,

his whole dynamic
was just off to me.

When you talk to him,
he comes off as arrogant,

he is a know-it-all.

he is a know-it-all.

And he used to tell me
all the time, like,

"Oh, I'm gonna marry
your mom," and all this stuff

and, he, uh...

I would be like,
"No, you're not."

Like, "No, you're not."

And I would run and tell
my mom like, "No, you're
not gonna marry this man.

Please don't marry this man."

[Joshua] Early on
in the relationship,

Olivia and Christopher Jones

had went out
to a local restaurant in
Beaumont, Texas one night.

There was a young lady that

There was a young lady that

Christopher Jones
had been dating before.

Got upset and started
an altercation with Olivia.

[Brittney] And we just
happened to be there.

And I guess this was
a first date for them.

[sinister music playing]

Then we see
these girls just...

jumping Olivia.

It was three of 'em
and she was by herself.

And one took off her shoe

and was hitting Olivia
in the head with it.

You had one holding her
and the other one
was just kinda fighting.

Chris, and this is something
I'll never forget,

is not doing anything.

I remember him laughing
with his two friends.

[inaudible conversation]

[Joshua] At the time,
the police was called,

and, of course, that's when
Christopher Jones really
tucks his tail and run.

And I just remember
Olivia getting her Suburban
at the time

and she was...
blood and was red

and was crying a whole lot.

And I remember
trying to tell her,

"Olivia, calm down."

And she was like,
"No, I wanna go home."

After the fight happened,
I did contact Olivia.

I said, "You need
to press charges."

But Chris told her
not to file a police report

because he was working
at the prison at that time.

So he didn't want it
to come back on him.

I never had a good feeling
from Chris.

Never.

But she didn't see that.

[woman in distance] Oh, yeah!

[woman in distance] Oh, yeah!

[indistinct conversation]

[Joshua] Myself,
my wife and my kids

and Olivia and her children

were at a local park
here in Beaumont, Texas.

[child exclaims]

We had been at the park
playing and catching up.

[cell phone ringing]

Noticed that
my sister's phone kept ringing
but she would never answer it.

[ringing continues]

And it would ring
back to back to back,

basically, and she would
never pick up the phone.

[ringing continues]

[ringing continues]

Olivia and, uh, her kids
had got into her car.

And all of a sudden,
we see a truck

kind of fly
into the parking lot.

[Brittney] And I was like,
"Well, who is this?"

And then I see Chris
jump out the truck,

leave his door open

and I see him
punching her glass window.

[inaudible conversation]

[inaudible conversation]

Like, he kept punching it,
and at this point,

Josh, he sees what's going on.

When I seen him
banging on the window,

I immediately started
running up to the situation

with my wife grabbing me
trying to hold me back.

And I just remember
pulling my husband's shirt

because I'm like,
"We got the kids right here,"

and I'm telling the kids,
"Y'all stay right there."

And then, at the same time,
I'm on the phone with 911.

And I see Olivia crying

and screaming, "Please stop,
Chris, please stop!"

I heard my Aunt Brittney say,
"I'm gonna call 911,
I'm calling 911 right now."

And that's when
he jumped in his truck
and he sped off.

And I remember him
speeding off because
he turned the corner so fast,

it looked like
the truck was gonna flip.

And at this point,
my kids are hysterical.

And I looked over and Yalia
and Ariel weren't crying.

When I noticed that,
I instantly said,

"Oh, they've
seen this before."

[Joshua] I got up
to the vehicle, and Olivia
was crying in the seat.

And at that point,
that's when Olivia shut down.

And at that point,
that's when Olivia shut down.

And she didn't want
to talk about it.

[Brittney] After
that altercation,

it did change
our relationship with Olivia.

She stopped talking to us,
uh, for about a year.

[Joshua] Looking back at it,
I should have pressed it more.

He isolated her,

made her feel like
the only people
that was there for her

was his side of the family.

[Ariel] They didn't
try to justify it.

They just said that
they were going to counseling,

that he was getting better

and he would basically
never do it again.

[Brittney] Turn around.

Ooh!

[Brittney] I believe when
Olivia cut us off
around that time,

she was in love with Chris.

She was embarrassed
by what he had done.

And I think she wanted
everyone to believe

And I think she wanted
everyone to believe

that their relationship was...

good, they were
in a good space.

From the conversations
we had with my mother-in-law,

the family, you know,

just thought Chris was
just this really good guy.

But me and Josh, my husband,
we knew the truth,

and we knew
he had a dark side.

[ominous music playing]

[woman 1] I'm gonna...
gonna cry.

[all chuckle]

-[all exclaiming]
-[woman 1] Oh, my God!

[man] Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

[all applauding
and exclaiming]

[woman 2] Say yes!

[all laughing and cheering]

[woman 1
exclaiming indistinctly]

-[all laughing]
-[man exclaiming indistinctly]

[man] Hold hands! Hold hands!

I just remember seeing
on social media

that he proposed to her
and they got engaged.

When she told us,
I didn't have no words.

I think she considered,
you know,

I think she considered,
you know,

"This'll make sure
my girls are taken care of."

I didn't want him to be
my stepdad and I didn't
want him in my life.

Olivia told me about Ariel
having her reservations.

And, like, I told her,

"You have to listen
to your child."

But she felt like it was
because Ariel didn't want
to see her move on

from-- with someone
besides her dad.

[Ariel] As long as
he made it seem like
he was changing,

[Ariel] As long as
he made it seem like
he was changing,

that he was gonna
make everything right,

then she was gonna
stick beside him.

The Beauty and the Beast, but
without the Beast changing.

[Brittney] Deep down
in my heart, I was...

very confused.

I was wondering,

"What is it about this man
that she's so drawn to?

"What is it about this man
that she's so drawn to?

Why does she feel like
him controlling her is love?"

And I was honestly
very frightened for her
and the girls.

I was very afraid.

It was hell, basically.

It was hell, basically.

Chris definitely brung
the prison to his house.

He ran it like a prison.

He oversaw it as a prison.

So everything had to be done
at a certain time

by a certain way.

Rooms had to be clean
at all times.

We couldn't have literally
anything on the floor,

the beds had to be made.

They... It couldn't have
no wrinkles or anything
in the comforter.

They... It couldn't have
no wrinkles or anything
in the comforter.

Like, everything
had to be straight

and, like,
you had to literally
take your hand and...

straighten out the blankets.

Pillows had to be
nice and neat.

If we had the TV on,
and if he didn't like
what was on the TV,

he'd either make us cut it off
or he'd make us change it.

If you weren't in the room
during the day, the door
had to be open.

So that way, if anyone
came down the hallway,

they would see
how nice and neat
everything was.

they would see
how nice and neat
everything was.

The dishes had to be done
every night,

washed, the floors had to be
cleaned every night,

the rugs had to be cleaned
every night.

And his number one rule
was like,

"Whatever happens
in this house
stays in this house."

One day, my mom called me
into the kitchen,

and I told her, "Hey,
like, I'll be right there."

And he actually
whooped me with a belt.

And he actually
whooped me with a belt.

Because he said that
I shouldn't talk to my mom
like that.

It was a very difficult
situation to be in.

I feel like people need
to know what's going on,

especially, like, your family,

and if they know
what's going on,

then they can help you.

[sinister music playing]

My mom and her mom
talked every morning.

And when she passed,
it basically took away
her other half.

Chris tried to make it seem
like he cared.

He tried to make it seem like,
oh, he was just so devastated,

"My mother-in-law
passed away."

You know, but, in all honesty,
he really didn't care.

[Joshua] In our culture,
when someone passes away,
of course,

everyone navigated
to that house.

And I just noticed
that Chris was never there.

After my mother-in-law
passed away, we got
really, really close.

And I just remember,
she called me.

And I remember her whispering.

And I said,
"Why you whispering?"

And I said,
"Why you whispering?"

And she said, "Girl,
'cause he got them cameras
in there,

and he... I don't want him
to hear what I'm saying."

And I was like, "Huh?"

There were a total
of ten cameras.

There were two in the front.

Then, they had one

pointed towards the hallway
right above the front door.

He had another one in
the corner of the living room

He had another one in
the corner of the living room

so you can see
the full living room
and the kitchen.

Like, every inch of the house
was covered in cameras

except for our bedrooms
and the bathroom.

[tense music playing]

[Brittney] That was
just real creepy for me.

You have no privacy, you know,

Olivia can't have
a decent conversation

without, you know,
him knowing about it.

[Ariel] He could, um,
look at the cameras
anytime he wanted to.

[Ariel] He could, um,
look at the cameras
anytime he wanted to.

He can also talk through
the cameras, and we can
actually talk to him back.

So if, while he was at work,

and he seen that we were
in the hallway or something,

he can actually
talk through it.

And they were
also night vision.

Everything was
very disturbing.

'Cause if you were
living in the house, then
you would know, like...

'Cause if you were
living in the house, then
you would know, like...

this should not be happening.

You're not supposed
to be living in fear.

[Ariel] One night,
Chris and my mom were
in the room arguing.

The door was shut.

And all I could hear was like,
"Chris, I can't breathe.
Chris, I can't breathe."

[man arguing indistinctly]

And I opened the door
and I said,

"Mama, are you okay?"

[arguing continues]

And the door quickly slammed.

And it slammed so fast
that it hit my forehead.

He came out and he started
yelling at me.

He started putting his finger
right here on my forehead

He started putting his finger
right here on my forehead

and, like, pushing me back.

And I was like, "You think
I'm just gonna let you put
your hands on my mom?

And she's telling me,
and she's screaming out
she can't breathe,

are you, like, are you crazy?"

[inaudible conversation]

I said, "Mom, are you really
gonna let him do this to you?

Why are you doing this?

Why are you allowing him
to do this?"

And she basically said,
"Ariel, when I feel like
enough is enough,

then I'm gonna leave."

then I'm gonna leave."

And I said...

"Are you serious?

You're really gonna sit
up here and let him continue
to do this to you?"

[dramatic music playing]

He knew it. He knew that...

she wouldn't leave him
as long as he said
the right words.

[mysterious music playing]

I didn't want them
to get married.

It took everything out of me

not to object
during the wedding.

But I seen how
her face was so lit up,

she had the biggest smile
on her face.

You should have seen her,
like, her heart was...

You should have seen her,
like, her heart was...

[laughs] It was so happy.

I didn't want to be the one
to ruin that for her

because she had so many hopes,
she had so many dreams

to be a wife, to be a mother,

to live in a stable household.

I didn't want to ruin
that fantasy for her.

And she came to me,
she hugged us both
and she was crying

just to see us there.

just to see us there.

And she said, "I'm just
so happy to see y'all here,"

because, you know,
her sisters weren't there.

It was sad that
my siblings weren't there.

It was strictly because, uh,
Chris did not want them there

and they didn't feel welcome.

Chris wasn't gonna accept
anything that wasn't his way.

It was either his way
or the highway

and if he say he didn't
want someone there,

then that person
was not gonna be there.

He would get
into fights at work.

And his problems was
he didn't know how to
control his anger.

He also brung recordings
back to the house.

Uh, the surveillance footage
that he showed me

showed him beating up
the inmate so bad

that he couldn't even move.

They had to transport him
to the E.R.
with all his injuries.

They had to transport him
to the E.R.
with all his injuries.

I couldn't look at that.
It was too much for me.

I've never seen that type of
anger before in my whole life.

He showed us so that way,
we can get in line also,

to show, like, this is
what he'd do to people

that don't follow his rules.

Chris was having troubles
with his job.

He was on suspension.

Olivia at that point had
built up a clientele base

where she had
tons and tons of clients

utilizing her tax business.

Seeing our family
kind of struggle,

it created an ambition
within her,

um, for her to go out
and want better in life.

She definitely made probably
two, three times more than
he did.

She definitely made probably
two, three times more than
he did.

[Joshua] Olivia and Chris,
what they did was...

start another business which
was a food truck business.

So Olivia took
the money that she earned

and invested it
into the food truck

to get it up and going
and get it running.

And that way,
Olivia can continue to
do what she was doing.

The idea,
I would say, was his.

But she was the one
that was doing all the work.

But she was the one
that was doing all the work.

She was the one
going to buy the food,

prep the food,

um, make sure the labels
and stuff was correct.

She made it seem like
he did all the work.

When in reality,
the only thing he did
was load the truck,

and cook the food.
That was it.

He just had her by the collar
and just, whatever he wanted,

she was gonna go do.

[melancholy music playing]

So, graduating high school,

I just knew that
I was about to go to college,

I was about to be free.

And I just had
a big sigh of relief

of me finally getting away
from that house.

But it also
scared me because...

I had to leave them behind.

Not only my mom,
but my sister.

That wasn't how things
were supposed to go.

And...

Yeah.

[sinister music playing]

On February 13th 2019,

I had a feeling that
I need to talk to my mom

and just let her know
like, "Hey, I love you.

I'm gonna bring you
your Valentine's Day gift
up here tomorrow."

I'm gonna bring you
your Valentine's Day gift
up here tomorrow."

After that phone call,
I was a little uneasy

and the whole night,
I could not sleep.

I just had a feeling
like something was
gonna happen, like,

something was...
something was off.

But I just couldn't
put my finger on it.

[line ringing]

[man panting]

[ominous music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

[Ariel] On February 14th,
I got a call from Chris
around 9:12 in the morning,

and...

He was, like, saying,
"Hey, Ariel, um,
something happened."

[police officer 1] Okay.

[Christopher speaking]

[police officer 2 speaking]

[Christopher speaking]

[police officer 2] Okay.

[Christopher speaking]

[police officer 2 speaking]

[Christopher
speaking indistinctly]

[police siren wailing]

[dog howling]

I was like, "Is she okay?"

Like, "What's going on?"

And he was like,
"Ariel, it don't look good."

And he was like,
"Ariel, it don't look good."

[indistinct radio chatter]

[police officer 1 speaking]

We... We...

[police officer 1] Okay.

[police officer 1] Okay.

[Ariel] And he said that

she ran in the house
and got the gun

and she put it up to her head
and she was telling him,

"If I can't have you,
nobody can have you."

And he said that when
he was trying to get the gun

that it accidentally went off.

-[police officer 1 speaking]
-[Christopher speaking]

[police officer 1 speaking]

[police officer 1 speaking]

[police officer 1 speaking]

[Ariel] I got there
in a matter of 15 minutes.

[Ariel] I got there
in a matter of 15 minutes.

I drove around the corner
all I seen was cops
and I seen the caution tape.

The police officers,
they stopped me,

and I was just like,
"I just wanna see her."

I went to his mom
and I asked her like,

like, "What's going on?
Is she okay?"

Like, "Is... Is she alive?"

And she... she had the same
face Chris had, blank.

And she said,

"Ariel, she's not alive."

And I broke down.

[menacing music playing]

[menacing music playing]

[Joshua] I pulled up to
a sight that I thought
I would never have seen

with police everywhere,
with detectives everywhere,
with...

crime scene tape everywhere.

I pulled up to a nightmare.

[Detective Mendy Freeman]
When I got onto scene,

Olivia's car was
in the driveway.

Olivia's car was
in the driveway.

Her keys were on
the trunk of her car.

Her phone was
inside of her car.

There was cold, uh,
food product in her car.

Uh, hamburger meat,
things of that nature.

There was a bouquet
of flowers in the car

that seemed to have been there
for Valentine's Day.

It seemed like she was
in the middle of something
that morning

and it got interrupted
by this incident.

We made our way
through the house
to find, uh, Olivia

and she was deceased
in her bedroom.

She was lying on the floor
on her stomach,

um, partially clothed.

There was
a great deal of blood.

There was blood spatter.

It wasn't until we...
we rolled her over

and saw an exit wound
coming out of her left eye,

um, that we realized that

the round
had actually struck her
in the back of the head.

Something that we did
notice throughout the home

were cameras,
surveillance cameras.

So we were hopeful
we would be able
to get some information

from those cameras.

Absolutely nothing
on that scene

pointed to a woman
that was suicidal...

or depressed,

or intending on
taking her life that day.

[police officer 2 speaking]

[Det. Freeman] We first met
with Christopher Jones

at the Beaumont
Police Department.

He agreed to speak with us,

seemed very willing to do so,

wanted us to know,
uh, what he said had happened.

They were preparing
the food truck.

Uh, some time
during that preparation,

he grew upset
because he felt that

he grew upset
because he felt that

Olivia was not doing
her share of the work,

um, had failed him
and was not keeping
at where she should.

[detective] Mmm-hmm.

[detective speaking]

So because of these things,
he decided he wanted
to get a divorce.

She stormed into the house,

She stormed into the house,

went straight to the bedroom

and put a gun to her head.

[Christopher speaking]

-[Det. Freeman speaking]
-[Christopher speaking]

[Det. Freeman] Mmm-hmm.

Well, during this time, uh,
we happened to ask him
about the surveillance cameras

Well, during this time, uh,
we happened to ask him
about the surveillance cameras

around his house.

We asked if we could have
permission to view those
on his phone.

He was very willing
to allow us access
to those cameras.

But the videos weren't there.

[Det. Freeman]
There was a change
in Christopher's demeanor.

He wouldn't look us
in the eye.

[Det. Freeman]
His immediate reaction was
that the system was faulty.

He told me
that he had been lazy
in charging the cameras.

[Det. Freeman speaking]

[Det. Freeman speaking]

It was obvious that he was
being, um, very deceptive.

[Det. Freeman speaking]

[Det. Freeman speaking]

[Det. Freeman speaking]

[Det. Freeman]
How many had he deleted?

And...

come to find out everything
except one camera.

[ominous music playing]

The only video
that we saw around
the time of the incident

was the one, uh,
showing that...

Olivia didn't go
storming through the house,

she didn't go to the bedroom.

None of those things.
She was actually
in the kitchen.

Washing up, cleaning up
from preparing food.

Christopher was
in the kitchen as well.

Christopher was
in the kitchen as well.

He's the one that walked
toward the bedroom first.

He stopped in the hallway.

When Olivia walked around
to go toward the bedroom...

...she was startled
to find him there.

When that video ended...

it was less than
three minutes later

it was less than
three minutes later

that Christopher was
on the phone with 911

saying that his wife
was shot in the head.

[Christopher speaking]

I think the reason
that one camera
was still there

is he ran out of time.

When Christopher was
supposed to be saving
his wife's life,

he was out
in the front yard
deleting videos.

By the time that interview
had ended that day,

By the time that interview
had ended that day,

Christopher was placed
under arrest for murder.

[ominous music playing]

[Joshua] And there were
several videos shown
during that trial

that showed him being
an absolute monster
to my sister.

It was like a nightmare,
living that trial.

[Brittney] And once
I seen the video footage,

I was just filled
with sadness.

So much...

sadness.

I felt guilt as to,
"Why didn't I see that?

Why didn't I know that
she was dealing with,
it was just this bad?"

You know,
"Why didn't I say something
when I could have?"

Typically, the victim
will make excuses
for the violent person.

Uh, the victim will think
that they can fix
the violent person.

Um, and either way,
they think that they're in
love with the violent person.

Once violence begins,
it doesn't just stop.

-[Olivia] Hell.
-[Christopher speaking]

And I'm gonna get emotional.

It breaks your heart
that she went through
what she went through.

It hurts to know that...

she, for whatever reason,
could not remove herself
from that relationship.

she, for whatever reason,
could not remove herself
from that relationship.

And but for that,
she would still
be here today.

I can honestly say
he took a piece
of everyone's heart,

everyone's soul,
he crushed it.

Every day,
I put on this ribbon.

This purple ribbon.

I put that ribbon on every day
in remembrance of her.

And it signifies, uh,
domestic violence.

And it signifies, uh,
domestic violence.

So I, I wear it
every single day.

I just, I love her
and I miss her dearly.

It's a nightmare.

Think about her all the time.

[Ariel] I want my mom
to be remembered as
that happy thought

that everyone has.

That place they go to
when they need peace,
joy, happiness.

[sniffles] She deserved more.
You know?

Like a smile that you see
on everyone's face.

Like, that's her.

[sobs] That food
that you love?

That's her, the one
that makes your soul smile.

That's how I want her
to be remembered.
