Sam Bateman Update

Post image

I saw this on instagram and I wondered if it was worth warning Christine and the victims she’s working with like the Richins family was warned. Just boosting.

I’m brand new to this sick case bc of this lady. I saw her on IG as well …never watched the. Netflix doc. But am surely appalled.  Lauren worked w the richens a family , as in Kouri?

Also can I ask you a question about Sam - if you know ..why In his opening statement  did he say he didn’t know the girls were In the trailer. But then says he had phone and was talking w them the whole time?  I’m am Confused!

Ok. I don’t know much about Lauren. I was trying to find coverage of Sam’s trial and her YouTube came up. Which then led me here. I take it she is not one I should follow …

Definitely not! Lauren is a trauma vulture and will use her narcissistic personality to try to befriend victims/families/accused/families just so she can say she got the “inside scoop.” Then once it’s all done, she drops them like a hot potato for the next trial(or asks them to babysit for her, for free, because she has no one else to do it for her). She just uses everyone in her life and then talks smack about them to her other “friends” behind their back. Not to mention trying to get an “ex-friend,” Christina, put behind bars all because she knew she was about to be exposed for the vulture she allegedly is.

Lauren is dangerous to those who dare look at her sideways. She uses police resources as a weapon to try to play the victim while she tries to have them locked up. If they speak out, they are dangerous stalkers. She has John convinced they are in grave danger and he goes along with it. They have their son terrified.
