Everybody is forgetting David Jr. He thought his father hated him because of Stacey, and she took David away from his son too. I'm glad he knows that his father still loves him.

“Oh my god this is not- happening”. To know she was disappointed and panicked that her child wasn’t dead..is insane.

I CRIED when I found out Fitzpatrick promised to walk Ashley down the aisle. I know that doesn’t fix everything but such a kind thing for a person to do

Another insane factor to this story is despite all the evidence pointing to Stacey's guilt, Stacey's mother believed she was innocent and that Ashley killed her father and step father. Imagine your own grandmother believing you killed your dad as an 11 year old. How stupid and cruel can you get?

2nd degree?!? She murdered two men and tried to murder her own daughter, how is that not capitol muder? Poor baby girl having to go through this

What a disgusting witch! Not only did she kill her husbands but she also tried to frame and kill her daughter TWICE???

Clicked on this random video in my feed and was left floored. My first wife tried to poison me with antifreeze in my Gatorades. I nearly died. Here i am with my 2nd wife, a beautiful family, everything i ever wanted and I'm fighting to stay healthy. The damage done to my insides is catching up to me as i hit my 40's. I live in constant fear that i won't see my babies graduate, find love, have my grandchildren.... I'm so happy that she got the justice that I never found. I fight the effects that months of poisoning still hurt me even today. May she find the peace that I search for to this day.

I was touched when Prosecutor Fitzpatrick started yelling at Stacie. That man showed more concern for her children than she did and he was the voice for both of them in that court. What a witch

One thing left out of this video was the fact that Stacy would call antifreeze “antifree”. And in the “suicide note” it was written antifree multiple times.

I find it as a rather sweet moment that Fitzpatrick promised Ashley to walk her down the aisle at her wedding day after she lost two father figures to such a horrible woman. At least she won't walk that aisle alone and will be next to a man who believed and helped her through such a horrible moment in her life

“she wakes up with a smile everyday, because if she doesn’t, then she know that stacey has won” 😭😭 what a strong woman 🤧

I heard about this but had never heard from the daughter. This is so upsetting. The fact that their step dad who said he originally didn't want kids fell in love with them and as they grew close their mother grew even more depraved and wicked. Wow. I'm glad she survived and Justice was served to this momster...

Oh my goodness the embrace that the sisters made when guilty was read broke my heart. They're so lucky to still have each other.

Only 54 years?! She should’ve been sentenced way more than that! She murdered 2 people, tried to kill her OWN DAUGHTER TWICE, tried to frame her and lied about it all?!?

I can't imagine Fitzpatrick's frustration and helplessnes when Stacey kept being so cold and calculating. He most probably has kids of his own so for him to try to get justice for the two girls and to think that she tried to kill them after already having killed two people... it must've been so freaking frustrating.

The mom is an absolute Psychopath. She found two wonderful men and killed them and then tried to kill her own daughter to avoid the consequences. Heinous. Also brought a tear to my eye when the son says 'it made me feel good knowing he didn't only remember the bad times'. He must have felt awful that his dad hated him all these years

She killed her children's father with antifreeze, then did the same thing to their step-father. She MADE them lose two fathers, and as they said, they were good fathers. Then she tried to framed her own child of murdering her own dad & step dad and tried to kill her own child. I am speechless

" She took away my Dad ". " She took away David ". Man , those words , the tears in her eyes , they hit hard . 😢💔

to hear that the prosecutor has formed a close bond with the girls and even promised to walk ashley down the aisle is possibly the most heartwarming outcome this terrible case could have

I'm surprised they didn't mention one of the pieces of strong evidence they had against her, which was Stacy would say and write antifreeze as antifree. They had this proof on a number of occasions of her doing this. Neither daughter did this, only her and this is how she spelled it in the letter she wrote 😮😮😮

Another comment said “when someone starts explaining everything to the dispatcher, they’re guilty”.. the more I watch, I tend to agree more and more

I remember hearing about this cause I was so stunned that a mother would pin 2 murders on her daughter like that. She’s just your egg donor at that point, proud of her for severing that connection by calling her by her name. It’s a big step

22:40 that "They CAME to your SCHOOL!?" sounds so hammy and planned. She was feigning outrage to gaslight the very daughter she was trying to kill. What a vile woman.

I feel so bad for Ashley and her sister Bree. This is the worst kind of betrayal. I can only hope that she meets good people for the rest of her life. Sometime we have to let go of our blood relations and make a new family.

I like how her daughter doesn't even call her "Mom" she just calls her "Stacy" as though she's just some woman that she knows

The way the sisters embraced each other and Brie kissed Ashley on the cheek was so sweet. I absolutely love the bond they share. It's also so sweet that William Fitzpatrick offered to walk her down the aisle at her wedding.

Only 54 years for murdering 2 people and attempting to murder your own daughter??????? Wtf!

The way she tattled on herself saying she poured the anti-freeze she got caught red handed and the fact she didn't even realising the first few seconds what she said

She is no mother, she was a child bearer. Nothing more.. rip to the dads😢

A major part left out of this was the fact that Stacy Castor called it antifree because she was an idiot and that was one of the things that got the conviction, especially how it was written in the "Suicide" note

the fact that the mom said "Let's get drunk" to her child-

Who is watching this at night

54 years for 2 murders and 1 attempted murder? Seriously? That sentence does NOT reflect the callousness and severity of her crimes, Your Honor.

what a selfish mother, she tried to pin murder on her daughter and then attempts to kill her...sick

you can tell how thankful brie is to have her sister by her side still. their love for each other has me in tears 🥹

i saw the photo in the thumbnail and knew exactly which case this was. chilling. it’s one of my most intriguing to share with people when discussing infamous crimes

What an evil human that “mother” is. How can you frame your own child for murder? How can you even murder your own child?

I cry every time I watch Ashley and Brie read the victim impact statement in court. Stacy couldn’t interrupt, defend, refute or walk out of the room. Must have been so thrilling for them to see her be humiliated, judged, and punished. They’re both so strong and beautiful.

Strength is something those girls will never lack. They are both absolute warriors.

My dad told me about the case, after a few years after it concluded. Those daughters have insane mental strength! When she said This isn't happening, it sounded like she was disappointed she wasn't dead. It takes a special kind of evil to kill your family

Love how different this is from most true crime channels. We must always focus on uplifting victims and survivors, not on the pathetic people who cause harm to them

You can tell that Ashley hated her mum which is why she said Stacey. How could a mother do this to her children especially to try and kill your own daughter and actually killing your husband’s. And for what to get their inheritance? This is a cruel case😮😔😠

I remembered seeing this case on Forensic Files! It was such a horrible case; how can any mother try to frame her own child?!

I have no doubt, had she succeeded in her attempts to murder Ashley, she would have gone on to find an excuse to do away with Bree as well. There was no shred of good, empathy nor compassion in that human being.

I believe it was Ashley’s childhood friend who also grew violently ill after going over to their house and died. This is before the first husband’s murder. It’s not confirmed bc no autopsy was done, but many believe that she poisoned her first as a test-run. It’s alleged. Also, I believe it was David Jr’s wife - who also fell sick while pregnant during her stay at their home. It’s suspected that was Stacy too. And that she was doting after anyone that was sick, supposedly. Thankfully the pregnant lady was fine after they left Stacey’s house tho.

Oh my gosh I am in tears! This woman is so terrifying! I am so happy for the daughters’ triumph!

Imagine being so selfish that you are willing to kill your own child and make it seem she killed her father. But you was actually the person who did it. 😢. The mother of the year award goes to….

Those are the strongest women I’ve ever seen, to have their mother try to do all that. I’m so proud of those two women. They are incredible people for going through that and coming out on top. My deepest condolences go out to the two ladies. Truly a heart breaking case

Sometimes I feel bad as a Mum for giving my children fast food instead of making something healthy…I don’t feel so bad anymore.

the fact that ashley calls her "stacy" instead of "mom". it's so sad that stacy did something so horrible to make ashley think that stacy is not a mom to her.

This is one of the first videos I've watched from this channel, and I appreciate the focus you give to the family and victims.

Why didn’t this psycho woman get life in prison without parole? Kills 2 husbands, try’s to kill her daughter & should have locked away forever.😡

It makes me cringe that while her daughter was still alive and struggling to stay that way, her "mother" told the 911 dispatcher "She LEFT a letter, she LEFT a note" instead of "there IS a letter" or something along the lines (if anything at all). It's like she was really counting on her to die before the paramedics came and was talking of her daughter in past tense before she was even dead.

Killed 2 ppl maybe 3 including her own father. Attempted murder on daughter. Falsifying her 2nd husband's will. Framing daughter and yet she's getting only 54 yrs in prison??? She murdered, attempted murder, falsify documents, & framed her own child that's like 4 major crimes. She should have been sentenced to life without parole instead. She's a danger to the public especially her daughter's. The jury should have seen and used that.

I really enjoyed your editorial work on this one. The music you used was incredibly touching as the two sisters held each other. So much pain, at least there's a happy ending.

It’s so sad how the mother made her children’s lives miserable by taking away the people who bonded well with them. It’s truly disgusting and selfish.

Those sisters are absolutely incredible, their strength and the gratitude they still had for life after all they've been through...those are some beautiful humans. Hope they're still thriving.

This happened an hour away from where I grew up and I remember it being all over the news at the time. I hope Ashley and Bree have been able to move on and heal as much as they possibly can ❤

Your videos are so well made, i teared up during the verdict. Especially when they proved David's will was forged and he didnt forget his son.

She is definitely one of the most cruelest women I ever heard of. So selfish, cold and calculating, doing this to her own children. It's one thing if you suffer from drug addiction or mental illness and abuse your child, but this is just so calculated. She was in control of her actions 100%

I remember this case. I was baffled and disgusted by the actions of Stacey. Absolute despicable excuse for a mother. Not only does she take the lives of her previous husbands, she also attempts to take the life of her own daughter! The daughter who felt closest to her, as well as suspicion of Stacey murdering her own father! Smfh - this is just an awful case all round. I feel so bad for these girls, now grown women, & for David Jnr & his family as well.

These mom's & daughters that say they want to be, (or are) "best friends" are not healthy. Parents are to be in the parent role not the best friend role with their kids.

I love the prosecutor was angry on Ashely and her sister behalf, because lord knows he knew that both her daughters were hurting worse than anyone else courtroom, and she had the nerve to defend herself, trying frame her own daughter as the killer of both her former husbands after she tried to murder her. I would have lost it too

This infamous serial killer women Stacy is known as the Black Widow killer. I've heard of her before and will never forget this monster for placing the blame on her daughter. Thank you for sharing the fact that her daughter Ashley and the prosecutor had shared a father/daughter bond in the end.

That mom was a MONSTER. Cold hearted and cold blooded. Cold evil ran through her veins.

These investigators did well. Mad props to these guys.. It's nice to really see people passionately pursue justice

I watch a lot of true crime videos. Your presentation on this one was excellent. I cried at the end when the sisters and step son got justice. Bravo man. Excellent video.

Does she just hate anyone who loves her daughters? Wtf? These poor men deserved better

Encouraging your young teenager to drink before their of legal age?? My god how horrible I can't imagine how much fear she has now of actual alcohol because of this I'm so glad this young lady survived to tell the tale of her monster mother!

i have watched plenty of your videos now and you have the best true crime content . very well done

The chills I got watching her daughters hear the verdict 😢😮

You never suspect your own mother, what a evil witch she was. All the damage she caused to her husbands, daughters, and the son of the second husband. He thought his dad had died and left him nothing, shocking how far these evil will go,to try murdering Ashley and pin her murdering on her. So sad for these men and all affected by this, glad you're all doing well inspite of this horror.

The fact that this is in driving distance of where I grew up is, honestly extremely chilling to me and some of my friends who grew up in the same distance too

As sad as it is that her own daughters had to go through this, what about David Jr? Did he ever get what was owed to him?

Crazy. Never heard of this case before.

She should have been convicted of two counts of 1st degree murder and one count of 1st degree attempted murder!

The world these two girls live in where they view their own mother as an antagonist and not their greatest ally is just sad. I'm glad they are doing well despite the monster that gave birth to them

the fact they keep calling her stacy and not mom is understandable but cuts deep. truly shows how much it affected them

The second death was actually my mother's best friends brother...it was horrible 😢

"As hard as it is to get up everyday and put a simle on my face, i know that i have to, because if i don't, then Stacey won" Dude...that hits right on the feels

I used to live near this case at the time it was happening. Really really near. It sends chills down my back. I remember hearing this on the news when I was eating cereal before going to school. I might have cried but I don’t remember all to well. My heart goes out to the victims. ❤

She clearly didn't think much of her own children. It is so sad. Not only being so callous as to poison her husband, the father of her children, then let her 11 year old to sit in the room when he died! Of course that girl will be haunted by that. The letter she wrote had so so many spelling mistakes in it, it was like she was trying to write it like a 12 year old. It's possible that Ashley wasn't a good speller, but even a 12 year old can spell "treat".

The fact that the prosecutor dude and Ashley grew a strong bond to have him walk her down the aisle is way to precious❤❤❤❤❤❤

Devastating 😢 How can somebody manage to overcome such a horrific betrayal? Wish you all the love!💕

That's so sad, how can a mother who was so close to her daughter, end up trying to kill her? I just can't understand that level of attachment and then detachment. What a rotten person.

Well done, you girls. You have to let this monster go from your lives.

This is beyond scary, its so spooky. She was a psycho. I really wish the best for the husband's son and the sisters. They found closure.

This case is so emotional, it must've been hard for the daughters to overcome this struggle, but fortunately they did. They deserve it.

So very proud of those girls for moving on and not letting their mother's actions steal their joy! ❤️🙏💞

Nobody should go through what Ashley experienced.... Really feel for both the sisters..

I’m horrified by this. How could someone ever do this to a child, let alone their own flesh and blood?

My mum died 😔 when I was 6 and my step mum died when I was 12 and all I know is my step mum died with chest cancer I still need to ask my brother how mum died

If your first concern is informing 911 that "she left a note" rather than "she's dying/dead, send help". It was probably you who wrote that note... (unless you just found a note and need help finding who wrote it asap, ofc)

I already knew of this story but I didn't know that she also may have murdered her own father, good god, that's just incredible. When she said I love you to her daughter on that phone call that was made from her school, those were just words.😮

I’m heartbroken every time I see this story. In previous documentaries Ashley was still calling Stacy “mom”. Now she calls her Stacy; as if she’s a stranger. Stacy Castor is the worst woman I’ve ever discovered over many years of studying murder cases. If you watch her interviews on 20/20 she displays unfathomable evil. She stares straight into the camera and blames these murders on her daughter Ashley; right after she tried to kill Ashley in order to shift blame from herself for murdering two husbands. I’ve seen many hearts of darkness; but Stacy Castor was the most cruel, callous, cold blooded killer that ever walked the face of the earth. I know that sounds like hyperbole; but I really think she was the worst of humanity. I have so much admiration for Ashley and Brie. In a country where people claim victimhood (to demand respect they haven’t earned); these two young woman have rejected victimhood status (even though they are true victims) and are moving forward in life and refusing to give in to self pity and hatred. I pray they are seeking God for healing and growth. God does not stand outside human suffering; he entered into the broken human experience in the person of Jesus. Because he became a man, God is compassionate and understands the brokenness of humanity. I hope these girls know Jesus as their King and their savior.

I remember watching this on Forensic Files. I still can't comprehend why a mother would do that to her child/children. Some people shouldn't be able to have kids!!

god bless those girls for being so strong and rip to their dads. i know how being without a dad hurts in so many ways.

54 years for killing 2 people and the attempted murder of jer daughter......wtf

Has this chick never seen CSI? Stacey left a road map of evidence.

so sorry for your loss and I'm so glad you survived to see justice.
