please like the video if you enjoy it the story takes place in Texas USA specifically in San Antonio where Andre McDonald a beautiful 29-year-old woman from Jamaica lived andreen traveled to the United uned states with her husband Andre McDonald immediately after their wedding Andre her husband is a major in the United States Air Force to avoid confusion between their similar names I will refer to her as andreen and him as Andre the couple started a senior care home business together with andreen managing it their business grew rapidly and they became millionaires despite her success uccess andreen remained humble kind-hearted and well- loved by everyone she enjoyed helping the needy often Distributing food to the poor herself andreen was very popular in San Antonio had good relations with everyone and was as successful in her personal life as she was in her professional life she and Andre loved each other and shared a happy life with their daughter Elena who was the center of their world everything changed Forever on March 1st 2019 andreen was known for her strict daily routine which everyone who knew her was aware of she started her day by going to the gym at 5:30 a.m. then went to her office at 8:00 a.m. however on March 1st she didn't show up at her office as usual causing her employees to worry they called her phone but she didn't answer they then contacted the gym she regularly attended and found out she hadn't been there either this was very concerning because going to the gym was a crucial part of her daily routine they kept calling her but each time the calls went to voicemail the increasing concern LED Andre's mother to report her disappearance to the police the police quickly went to andrene's home located in A very upscale residential area inside the house appeared normal and tidy with no signs of disarray or breakage however they found traces of blood on some walls in the master bedroom and blood and hair on the bathroom light switch this evidence suggested that something might have happened in the house and that it could be a crime scene the evidence was sent to the forensic lab for analysis while searching the house they didn't find Andre's mobile phone but they did find her keys on the table her car in the garage and her purse containing her bank cards and money her passport was also found at home these findings were worrying because if she had traveled she wouldn't have left her belongings behind in the backyard they found more troubling evidence a burned patch on the ground upon closer inspection they found a zipper of Andre's blouse in the burned AA what happened in the house and is someone responsible for Andre's disappearance the authorities released a missing person poster with Andre's photo hoping someone might have seen her or knew something her loved ones began searching everywhere for her but without any success still holding on to hope that she was safe in cases like this the spouse is usually the first suspect Andre was present when the police police searched the house he said that on the day andream disappeared he took their daughter Elena to school and then went to work at the air base he claimed that as soon as he heard that andreen was missing he rushed home but didn't find her he thought she might have gone to the nearby hospital where she often went for migraines surveillance cameras at the hospital showed Andre entering and inquiring at the information desk where he was told that someone named McDonald was in room 3 he returned home to inform everyone that she was at the hospital however when the investigator called the hospital they found out that the person in room three was not andreen but someone else with the same last name when asked why he didn't go to the room to check Andre said he rushed home because he left his phone there and wanted to reassure her family the investigators wanted to know more about Andre and her relationship with her husband they learned that she loved her work and started the senior care home business at just 22 years old selling her car to fund it the business quickly grew into a multi-million dollar Enterprise within 7 years andreen grew up in a very poor family in Jamaica and dreamed of moving to the United States a dream she realized at 19 when she met Andre in 2009 at that time time he was an Air Force officer and she was 10 years younger they admired each other and married the same year living in San Antonio they soon had their daughter Elena who became their whole world therefore it was hard to believe that andreen would leave her daughter and disappear without a trace it was unimaginable for her to abandon her child at this time the forensic team after examining the blood stain in the bathroom confirmed to the investigators that it was Andre's blood which only intensified their suspicions towards her husband however when the investigators initially questioned Andre he didn't have any bruises or scratches on his face and he appeared very normal even seemingly worried about her nonetheless this didn't prove his innocence they decided to question him again and asked when he last saw his wife and dream he said the last time he saw her was the previous night then he mentioned something that puzzled them further they had just returned from the tax office and had a big argument about work he left the house in his car to cool down Andre said that he filled his car with gas and surveillance cameras indeed captured him at the gas station Andre also mentioned that he and andreen slept in separate rooms that night however what Andre didn't tell them was that he had exchanged text messages with andreen from the gas station when the investigators reviewed these texts they uncovered a serious issue in their marriage the texts revealed that Andre knew andreen was having an affair with someone named Ben in one of the messages andreen warned Andre that if he mentioned Ben again she would divorce him herself so who was this man and could he be involved in her disappearance Ben was a businessman living in Port Antonio Jamaica and he was Andre's boyfriend before she met Andre it appeared she was having an affair with him while married Andre's reply to andrene's threat of divorce was that he didn't care if she wanted to leave she was the one who brought Ben into their lives the investigators learned that Ben knew andream since she was a teenager and her close friend confirmed their romantic relationship started in 2017 during one of Andre's charity trips to Jamaica it seemed she couldn't forget her first Love Leading to their secret affair in 2018 andreen made a reckless decision by getting tattoos on her wrist the letter a and a date this raised Andre's suspicions especially since both their names started with a but the date made in curri curious Andre discovered the answer on Facebook he found a photo of Ben with the same tattoo on his wrist with the numbers 14376 which was Ben's birth date andrene's close friend said she got the tattoo in a moment of foolishness and it was a stupid thing to do when Andre discovered this he was Furious and threatened her with divorce unless she ended her relationship with Ben moved the tattoo and only traveled to Jamaica with him andreen didn't want a divorce not because she loved Andre but because she would lose half her wealth and the business she worked hard for so she covered the tattoo with another one and during Andre's 40th birthday party it seemed they had moved past their issues but had they truly forgiven each other just 13 days after the birthday party on March 1st 2019 andreen disappeared until now no one knew where she went all suspicions turned towards her husband Andre so they placed him under surveillance they observed him leaving his house and followed him to a nearby gun store where he bought a 9mm gun and ammunition initially the investigators thought he might have bought the gun for self-defense because he was unsure of what happened to his wife but when Andre left the store the police who had been observing him arrested him and handed him over to military authorities for a psychological evaluation during this time the investigators returned to Andre's house with another search warrant this time they searched Andre's car in the garage and found some disturbing items in the trunk a shovel garbage bags gloves and two gasoline cans these SE seemed like tools to cover up a crime they also found torn receipts in the kitchen trash from a well-known store surveillance footage from the store showed Andre buying the shovel and gasoline cans the day after andring disappeared with andreen missing and Andre purchasing items that seemed intended for disposing of a body the next day he became the prime suspect additionally in the garage trash they found a yellow Hammer with traces of blood in some of Andre's clothes including Blood Stained pants the forensic lab confirmed that the blood on the hammer belonged to andrine indicating that the hammer might be the murder weapon on March 3rd 2019 the Air Force's psychological evaluation report concluded that Andre had no mental issues leading to his release however the police immediately arrested him not for andreen murder but for tampering with or hiding evidence such as the torn receipt for the items he bought Andre's mother and mother-in-law were shocked by Andre's arrest believing he loved andreen too much to harm her but as days pass even they began to suspect him since there was no one else to blame up until now no one knows where andreen went at that time the police sought help from the media and asked for assistance from anyone who had seen her or knew where she might be meanwhile the town's people Andre's friends and relatives all searched the city accompanied by an Air Force Team during this massive search Andre was released on bail however what caught everyone's attention was that while everyone was looking for andream her husband showed no interest in the search and didn't join them days and months passed with no new developments in in the case the investigators began to delve deeper into the nature of andreen and Andre's relationship they discovered that besides their marital issues they also had problems at work in their text messages there was an argument where each was trying to take credit for their Project's success andreen often claimed that the idea was hers and that the project wouldn't have succeeded without her efforts and ideas which annoyed Andre one of their friends recounted a very strange incident that happened in 2018 he said they had a Christmas party at their house and he saw them in the kitchen having a physical altercation strangely the next day they were both laughing and joking about what had happened however 2 months after this incident andreen disappeared and traces of her blood were found in the house after 13 3 days of andrene's disappearance on July 11th 2019 they found a crucial lead in the case a farmer walking near his Farm's fence found a human skull on the ground the farm was only 6 mil from Andre's house the forensic pathologist confirmed that the skeletal remains belonged to Andre McDonald within 48 Hours Andre McDonald was arrested and charged with Andre's murder despite the evidence found in Andre's house like the hammer and the blood on his pants no one knew exactly how she died her body had been there for a while making it difficult for the pathologist to determine the exact cause of death investigators strongly suspected Andre was responsible for her death but wanted to understand his motive they speculated that it could be jealousy over her success or anger over her fair with her old boyfriend however Andre's defense attorney argued that it was unlikely Andre was jealous of her success as he was successful in his own right in the Air Force regarding her Affair he claimed Andre had forgiven her because she ended the relationship Andre was released from jail but remained under house arrest until 2023 then something completely unexpected happened just days before his trial was set to begin on January 17th 2023 Andre who had been silent for almost 4 years and never explained what happened to his wife finally decided to speak Andre called his mother crying and confessed the whole truth he said that andrene's death was an unintended accident he also called andrene's father and sister to explain everything during his trial Andre's attorney claimed her death was an accident that it wasn't premeditated and that they had an argument that unintentionally led to her death in court the forensic pathologist stated that from andrein skeletal remains he determined that she had suffered serious injuries as a result of blunt force trauma some people might wonder how injuries can be detected on skeletal remains but it shows on the bones upon examining her skeletal remains there were fractures in the spinal cord ribs and lower jaw however the forensic pathologist couldn't determine the exact cause of death but stated that it was likely due to blunt force trauma during the court session Andre recounted what happened that night he said that on February 28th 2019 while he was with his wife at the tax office he discovered that she had started a new project about a year ago without his knowledge he felt that she was stealing from him and working behind his back when they returned home they had a massive argument he left the house to calm down and went to the gas station they continued arguing via text messages and when he returned home he seriously considered divorce and splitting their project in half he was extremely agitated so she decided to sleep in another room alone however as she was going to the other room she approached him and spat on him which infuriated him he grabbed her head and hit her causing her nose to bleed she ran to the bathroom and turned on the light explaining the blood on the light switch and the mirror according to Andre when she saw her bloodied face in the mirror she became very angry and attacked him leading to a physical altercation between them however during the fight Andre heard their daughter Ellen's footsteps so he stopped and went to check on her he only left her when she fell asleep when he returned to the room after 30 minutes he realized that andreen had died he was in a State of Shock and confusion not knowing what to do when asked why he didn't call for an ambulance he said he didn't think of it because she was already dead and an ambulance wouldn't have made made a difference his only concern at that time was to remove her from the house so that their 7-year-old daughter wouldn't see the scene the next morning he took her and dumped her body on a farm removed her clothes burned them which explains the burnt zipper found in the backyard trash can however the blood on the yellow shovel found in the garage trash bin contradicted Andre's statement Andre had a logical explanation for this saying that after the investigators finished searching the house the first time he went to the farm where he left andreen and took the shovel and a can of gasoline he poured gasoline on her body and set it on fire when the fire extinguished he took the shovel and hit her three times on the face and neck then Andre made a very strange statement in court confessing that he had planned to burn her body to destroy the evidence because her actions were were the cause of all his problems after this horrifying confession they asked him why he had previously claimed self-defense since she had attacked him and he being a military man should have been able to defend himself against one woman he said she was a very strong woman who went to the gym every day and her health was very good according to him she could lift 300 lb meaning 136 kg and he was afraid of her because she could easily hit him the baffling question in this case is whether this was really self-defense was it really unintentional because the Judgment would vary greatly if he didn't mean it it was very difficult to reach a decision in this case because they didn't have any Witnesses other than him and the six jurors who believed he intended to kill her and not acting in self-defense and the other six jurors who believed he didn't mean it he was defending himself self those who believed he intended to kill her argued that he left her lying on the ground for 30 minutes after the fight which in itself was a big mistake and negligence they were surprised that after all he had done pouring gasoline on her removing her clothes burning them and in the end getting a reduced sentence the McDaniel family was not convinced of this judgment because in court Andre spoke about the details of the crime very calmly and they felt that he had no sense of guilt furthermore in court he kept saying that it was her mistake she was the cause of all this they were puzzled by the fact that after all he had done he received a reduced sentence one of the good things that happened in this trial which was a bit strange was that Andre's father a retired member of the Jamaican Army volunteered to arrest Andre himself and take him to prison un fortunately Andre's dream project was closed now that she succeeded in it their daughter now lives with her aunt and her grandmother from her mother's side visits her from time to time Andre is currently in prison and has applied for an appeal in the end do you think Andre deserves the sentence he received was he really defending himself personally I'm confused because in the pictures it seemed like he really loved her but what exactly happened only God knows I'd like to hear your opinion on today's case and see you in the next video goodbye
