Investigation Discovery’s ‘Evil Lives Here: She Called to Say I Killed Them’ delves deep into the cold-blooded murders of Sharon and Brooklynn at the hands of their own mother, Veronica Youngblood, on August 5, 2018. While the entire community was shocked to its core, their father, Ronaldo “Ron” Youngblood, was affected by their tragic deaths the most; after all, he did not imagine that his former wife would commit murder to get back at him. Although Ron features in the episode, questions about his current whereabouts arise in the minds of the viewers.
Ron Youngblood Was Devastated After His Ex-Wife Killed Their Daughters
When Ronald “Ron” Youngblood met Veronica for the first time in Argentina, he was associated with the US Navy. At that time, he had no idea that marrying her would turn his entire life upside down. After dating her for more than one and a half years, during which he also formed a bond with her daughter named Sharon from a previous relationship, he tied the knot with her in 2009. In the following years, Veronica gave him immense happiness when she gave birth to their daughter Brooklynn, only to snatch it away a few years down the line. Not only did the couple get divorced in 2016, but they also got into a custody battle over their daughter. After Ron won the custody dispute, Veronica ended up killing both her daughters in their McLean, Virginia house on August 5, 2018.
On the same night, he allegedly received a call from his former wife, who told him that she had murdered the girls and that she hated him. When he found out that she was telling the truth, his entire world came crashing down. Ron built memorials for her daughters in Chantilly as well as Missouri. After waiting for nearly five years for justice, he was in attendance during the trial of his former wife, but he deliberately chose a seat in the courtroom where her face was not visible as he still could not bear to listen to the killer of his beloved daughters. The defense tried to blame him for Veronica’s actions and alleged that he had been abusive and controlling towards her. Ultimately, she was brought to justice and convicted for her crimes.
