Ronald could’ve gone on the honeymoon because they were a throuple
These goobers dont know what fantastic means in this context? 🙄
Wanna get away with murder
drug yourselfWant to be a professional ballroom dancer
drug yourselfam i the only one that thougth from the very firs moment they were polyamorous???
My brain: I think that she poisoned herself and who ever else was poisoned and then she started the fire and then she went to go kill herself because of all the drama and love triangle things going on
It also cracks me up when people say homosexual relationships are "unnatural." Like seriously, how much do u know about nature!? Homosexuality occurs in most mammalian species as well as quite a few amphibious species (multiple types of toads and frogs) and less frequently, but still frequently enough, in reptiles and fish. It actually is pretty damn "natural."
What if – just what if, Ronald did kill Christina, but it wasn't that sinister. What if Ronald was freaked out by the letters Christina wrote and decided to get rid of her before she could hurt his best friend? Maybe he burned the cottage down in an effort to hide evidence, (thinking no one would believe him or care that she wanted to kill Jack, so he couldn't have it known he killed her) make it all seem like a bad tragedy but forgot or didn't realize Jack was still in the house? Idk seems possible…
Sherlock But More Accurate
Who's Sara I'm confused 😕❓
It was Ronald duh
s c o o p i t u p, l e t s s l u r p
Were they Jack & Ron gay lover and Christina found out and back at that
ʕ•̫͡•
3:28 my boy elio's really out here.
the dude's italian
he dances
from the evidence (7:23– 8:03), he's probably gay
i mean, come on
I love this channel! Bet imma go ask my mom to get me merch!!! XD lol
usually they put like a dark shadow on the top part of pictures of people's faces so when her face popped up without the shadow and i could see her eyes i freaked out fjdsafjkasf
I think after hearing all thos is that they kind of planned this and framed christina as a murderer so that they could get the insurance
ronald and jack were gay, The wife knew and felt unloved/used, They didn't do anything to stop the suicide.
I believe that after the suicide jack and ronald wanted to elope together with the money but were unable to due to the questioning of cops and fear of being caught as a muderer
They’re polyamorous and she was mentally ill. It be like that. Sadly, the fifties weren’t too hot on like properly medicating people. Or accepting that kind of relationship. I think it shows in the way Ronald moved away bc in a similar fashion of losing your child losing a partner can drive the other two apart.
I think she committed suicide as she was unsure of her relationship with jack and his relationship with ronald…evidence with all the suicidak letters…
Hahahaha! "Aw Jackie…" #TrueCanuck
#PEPSIPALOMA
”scoop it up, let’s slurp”
👏It👏Sounds👏Like👏A👏Threesome👏
Call me crazy but I️ am pretty these guys were gay
It's hard to believe anything in this case because once gay people or suspected gay people get involved, you never know if anything anyone is saying is true or just fake accusations of a homophobe.
She probably killed herself
Yeah, so I’m not the only one who thought gay right away. I think they dint kill her but saw what their relationship was doing to the poor women. If they could have lived they way they were they would never had to be so awful, but they still are bad guys I think. I lived with my best-friend and her boyfriend… I’m gay and he was “straight….”. Well, he got a little too possessive of me. After they broke up I went camping with him and his cousin, there was whiskey and you can imagine what happen next. 🙄

Threesomes can be messy… I guess.

All of you guys getting mad in the comments about the gay jokes really need to find something else to get angry about… You know you are pretty pathetic when you are commenting that A BUZZFEED CHANNEL has a comment section that isn't PC enough for you!
Canada represent!
Not to be rude but she looks like Nicholas Cage.. also I live in Canada 😶😶 Oh Christ I live near Toronto

Before lgbt people were socially accepted, there was a thing called “lavender weddings” where a couple of two women and two men would marry each other, then like just “hang out” a lot and “theyre such good friends”
Unlike Buzzfeed news this is actually funny and informative
So he was a professional ballroom dancer, eh?
GAY
Given the period history, I would venture that the context of "fantastic" was probably more like "fantasy" i.e. unbelievable/unlikely/made up.
omg is that a dr. dog t shirt????? i love their music uggghh
Bros before hoes 🥵
Fantastic. As in a 'fantastic tale'.
Here is what I think. Christina was drugged with Codeine (most likely with Alcoholic beverage like wine, which makes it worse) she became depressed. hence the letters. Jack tried to kill her for the insurance money via fire to double dip with the cottage insurance. Jack fails, Christina capitalizes on the opportunity. she blazes house down already on the previous codeine wine mix combined with the stress, to the point of fainting and collapses in the 9-inch puddle and drowns.
Maybe Ronald came to make sure Christina didn’t kill Jack or to kill Christina bc him and Jack were lovers 👀
I was hoping for, but not anticipating, a bisexual love triangle or polyamory.
