Jared Bridegan's Children: What the Murder-For-Hire Case Cost Bexley, the Twins, and Every Kid Inside It | Pt. 3

Bexley Bridegan was two years old on February 16th, 2022. She was in the backseat when her father was murdered. She was returned to her mother without him. She will one day be old enough to read everything written about that night — including this.Part 3 of One Mile From Home is dedicated to the children in Jared Bridegan's story. All of them. Bexley, who was present on that road. And the twins — Jared's daughters with Shanna Gardner — who grew up inside the household of the people who allegedly planned their father's death, and who are now, following a court ruling, being raised by Gardner's parents in Washington state.The children went to the family of the woman accused of killing their father. Through no choice of their own.Tony Brueski examines what the research on parentification and childhood loyalty conflict tells us about what these children carry — what it does developmentally to grow up inside a high-conflict custody arrangement as a piece of the conflict rather than a protected child. The fragmentation. The invisible labor. The things carried quietly into adulthood that never had a name.Jared Bridegan loved his children. He tried to protect them through every available channel. This episode is about what the adults around them allegedly chose — and what that choice cost the children who had no say in any of it.All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
