surveillance cameras outside her home she admitted that she was afraid that her ex-husband might break into her home and harm her or the children in some way about a year after the divorce Samantha began to feel that her ex-husband had calmed down and cooled down a bit he became less frequent in her sight which gave her the illusion of safety Samantha even began to have an affair and began to make plans for a new happy life on July 22nd 2018 Fraser celebrated her 38th birthday in the company of close friends and a beloved man named

Wayne according to the memories of those who shared this holiday with her she looked happy and was quite calm for herself and her loved ones a few days before the new chosen one had proposed to the woman and after the wedding they planned to take a long vacation and travel to distract themselves and forget about problems the next morning Samantha took the children to school and was on her way to work when she received a phone call from someone she knew warning her that Adrian was in the neighborhood of her home Samantha was concerned about

this but decided not to panic just to be more cautious she was due to face her ex-husband in court in a domestic violence case in a couple weeks and she feared that he might somehow retaliate against her for the lawsuit the woman shared her worries with her best friend in a phone conversation but the latter reassured her after that conversation Samantha was never seen alive again when Samantha did not come to school that day to pick up her children the teacher who knew about the difficult situation in their family decided to call the police the

law enforcers immediately went to their home to check everything and at first the situation looked as if the mistress had not yet returned but when the officers of the law decided to check the garage adjacent to the house before them opened a terrible picture the body of the 38 year old homeowner was hanging from the garage door fixture and on the whole the picture might have looked like the young woman had taken her own life but Samantha's appearance was as if she had been run over by a truck there was literally not a living spot

on Samantha and the hair on her head was wet and falling over her face covering it she wasn't wearing the same clothes she had left the house in that morning and her shoes were missing altogether it was obvious that someone else had been in the garage and that someone had tried to make it look like Samantha had voluntarily passed away but it made a lot of mistakes for example there was an overturned stepladder lying next to the body but the Rope was so long that the woman's feet were touching the floor Samantha had severe bruising

under her eye and on her Temple and her entire body was covered with abrasions and hematomas received during her lifetime in addition as the forensic medical examination later determined the deceased had suffered a severe head injury so she was either unconscious or already dead when she was hanged under the fingernails on her hands forensic experts found blood and epithelial particles which means that the victim desperately resisted and scratched her Tormentor there were also numerous washed-up traces of blood and small splatters on the floor walls and on the body of the car in the garage later

blood was also found in several places on the rope from which the deceased was hanging in the evening of the same day Adrian Basham arrived at his father James's home on his motorcycle he looked worried and his face had several fresh scratches on it when questioned by his father he was evasive and regarding the abrasions he explained that he had scratched himself with tree branches while riding his motorcycle without a helmet he then took a large pack of wet wipes and started wiping his vehicle arguing that he wanted to remove the gnats that had stuck

to it during the ride as a former police officer his father immediately suspected something wrong and his professional instincts did not fail him when detectives showed up on his doorstep the next day with questions about his son claiming he was the prime suspect in his ex-wife's murder case James realized what was going on at first Basham senior stated that he had not seen his son and after buying some time instructed the air on how and what he should say how to behave in order to be able if not to get out at least to mitigate

his punishment Adrian followed his father's advice listened silently to the charges read to him and obediently went to the station with the support of the lawyers already hired by his father Adrian at first categorically refused to cooperate with the investigation he did not deny his guilt but simply kept silent ignoring all questions nevertheless the collected evidence was enough fresh scratches on the man's face did not escape the attention of the investigators as suspected he had been scratched by Samantha in an attempt to defend himself and blood and epithelial particles were found under her fingernails the

suspect's sweat marks were also found on the rope from which his ex-wife's body was hanging after examining a motorcycle belonging to Adrian washed up traces of the deceased's blood were also found on it and a bloody woman's blouse was found in a garbage can outside his father's house apparently he tried to get rid of that evidence but didn't have time surveillance footage that Samantha installed outside her home shortly before the tragedy shows a man leaving the crime scene in a hurry on the day of the murder although his face was concealed by a hood pulled

over his baseball cap there was no doubt that it was Adrian the chronology of the last day of the victim's life was reconstructed bit by bit and the resulting picture was striking in its brutality so while no one was at home Basham managed to break the lock of the garage door and get inside where he waited for several hours for the return of his ex-wife an unsuspecting Samantha drove into her garage and Adrian attacked her before she could get out of the car Fraser fought back desperately as evidenced by the scratches on the perpetrator's face

but the forces were unequal he beat the victim until she lost Consciousness and then to cover his tracks removed her blood-stained blouse replacing it with a black T-shirt found in the house and doused her head with water to wash the blood from her blonde hair Adrian then put a rope around his ex-wife's neck and hung her from the garage door to be sure he put a stepladder on the floor next to the body but the length of the Rope was not calculated Adrian cleaned up the bloodstains but he missed the small spatters that were literally

everywhere this is mind-boggling a young woman and loving mother of three was found dead in the garage of her own home the killer tried to make it look like a voluntary death but numerous Clues said otherwise in addition the condition of Samantha's body indicated that she had accepted martyrdom the saddest part was that the victim had lived with this man for many years endured moral and physical abuse raised his children and hoped that he would change over time when Adrian realized that there was no point in denying or keeping silent because all the evidence pointed

to him he changed tactics Basham stated that he was indeed at his ex-wife's house that day but just wanted to talk to her and convince her to withdraw her domestic violence lawsuit allegedly the conversation didn't go well and fists came into play but afterward the man he said left and Frazier was alive and conscious at the time the defendant's lawyers insisted that their client was guilty only of battery and after that in their opinion Samantha herself took her own life but according to relatives Samantha would never do that and did not leave her children besides

she was soon going to remarry and made big plans for life the murder trial did not take place until the end of 2022. the sessions were attended by the older children of the former spouses who condemned their father and asked for a fair punishment for him the youngest son was not present in the courtroom the child decided not to traumatize unnecessarily in addition the boy was panic-stricken afraid of his father the defense attempted to prove that the defendant acted spontaneously being in a state of affect but this version failed because Adrian waited several hours for

his victim prepared things and objects for the crime and tried to get rid of evidence the final verdict on this case the court announced only in February 2023 Adrian was found guilty of brutal premeditated murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole for at least the next 30 Years Jeannine and Travis Fraser became guardians of his and Samantha's children thanks for watching guys subscribe to the channel there are many shocking stories ahead I'll see you again
