gopher Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 This story is all over my newsfeeds today. Police announced an arrest in the murder of Jared Bridegan, a member of the church killed last year under suspicious circumstances. The police believe his murder was part of a planned attack. The suspect the police arrested lived in a rental property owned by the current husband of Jared's ex-wife. The ex-wife's parents founded Stampin' Up! and are also members of the church in Utah. It's a tragic story with four children without a father and his new wife a widow. It's taken almost a year to make an arrest and the police aren't releasing many details. There is a lot of speculation about the ex-wife's possible involvement, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Not long after they were married in the SLC Temple, she apparently left the church and had an affair with her personal trainer which led to their divorce. https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/crime/2023/01/25/jared-bridegan-killing-arrest-jacksonville-beach-florida/69837915007/ 1
Calm Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Is their involvement with the Church a big thing in these discussions, or just mentioned in passing similar to how where a victim grew up or worked or is a fan of something might be mentioned.

I didn't realize they were members until the reports came out this week about the capture of the man suspected of committing the murder. I had glanced at the headlines when the story broke last year, but became more curious today after seeing the photos of Jared and his second wife. What's it called when you sense someone is a member? Kinda like "gaydar" but for members? Anyway, as I scrolled down the page I saw that they were indeed LDS. Most of the comments in the 4-5 websites I saw about the story believe the first wife Shanna was involved in Jared's murder. So that's really where the church comes in because it was a point of contention during their marriage. Jared remained a devout member while Shanna drifted away. Shanna's parents are described as "prominent fixtures" in the church. We'll see how it plays out. Hopefully she wasn't involved, but the police have said she continues to be a suspect. 1

Stargazer Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 I've been awol from the site for a few weeks and I come back to find the place has attracted a Neanderthal and some other odd characters. Very odd. I was wondering if the Neanderthal might be a sock puppet of someone.

The more he writes, the less he reminds me of anyone else, but that may just be a function of how memory works. Edited February 14, 2023 by Calm 1
gopher Posted August 21, 2023 Author Posted August 21, 2023 Update: The ex-wife Shanna has now been arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
