That chick killed him, but I think she should be given a deal - maybe ten years on a manslaughter plea. This Travis Alexander seems like he was an awful person. Self-righteous, self-absorbed and arrogant. He obviously played games with this girl - and many others, it seems. I am sure he went straight to hell - that is where these fake types go - those who use religion as a tool in their box of schemes.

By the way, when I heard he worked for PrePaid Legal, I knew he was going to be bad news. That operation is a total scam. And, it seems to be infested with mormoms. No surprise.

There is no doubt in my mind that this jodi person is GUILTY. Just watching her gave me the creeps. No doubt in my mind she was the real deal no hollywood script... fatal attraction.

I really enjoy watching these programmes. It is clear that Joedi committed this crime. There is loads of decrepencies in her story the little she spoke. Like picking up her purse which was on a bathroom floor and running out the door!!!! Strange. She went nuts after he said something to her about not been together, also where did she get the gun from??? There was no intruders and if there was she would not be alive to tell the tale.

This woman is gorgeous. Damn, but very scary at the same time.She's guilty as hell. By the way the prepaid legal sales is a joke and a scam and it is illegal it is an mlm program. RIP Travis.

You can tell that she did it because of her story. Why wouldn't she go to the neighbors house, or call the cops!! If that was someone I loved I would have called someone to get help!! The camera as well why would she delete all the pictures and wash them if she didn't do something wrong. And then she went on a date! She does seem like a nice girl. It is a crime of passion. It is really tragic that it happened. And my heart does go out to the family.

I definitely think this girl did it. She looks like an angel and she looks innocent but there's something about her story that didn't make sense. I think she was too obsessed and took it upon herself to get what she want. I feel bad for Travis and his family, I don't think anyone deserves to die that way. It's just sad this beautiful and intelligent girl committed this act, I can't even imagine what her family is going through.

I watched this 48 hours mystery and I have to say there has never been one on here more interesting then Jodi Arias. Sociopath cold blooded killer? It certainly seems so in one sense but then in the other sense she's like a Stepford wife..... sweet, outgoing and friendly. I had to write her in prison. She wrote back and a pen pal friendship has developed. She's very friendly and kind in her notes and seems like a great person. Let's wait till the trial before we make judgment on her. 48 hours may have painted her to look a bit crazy. My condolences go out to the Alexander family and if anyone has there address please mail me it so I may send them a condolence card (oneofkakindhotboi@aol.com). Everyone in this story is a victim even Jodi is if she did this, she's mentally ill and chris and sky hughes should have told jodi and travis she needs help help. I'm not taking her side but this story is so tragic.

Ms. Jodi has an answer for everything. Very smooth talking, almost hypnotic. Flat line of emotion. Sounds so reasonable. Explains away every detail. Except, why would you keep taking photos of your boyfriend who was just shot in front of you. Why not turn the camera on the intruders? Good thing she remembered her purse before she ran out of the house and drove and drove until she reached the desert. Not calling 911? Wait, there's a tear, "I just left him there." Not telling anyone? Not at all? Afraid she would be implicated? That was her greatest fear? Sociopath perhaps.

Ok. First things first. These friends of Travis seem very snobby and judgmental. The woman says she was disturbed by Jodi's conduct because she would suck on Travis's ear and hang on him...then at the end we see a pic of Travis sucking on some girl's ear and hanging on her. They claim Jodi stalked him and wouldn't get out of his life but yet they admit Travis himself perpetuated the relationship and indeed brought this girl back into his life again and again and over again, basically so he could get his freak on. Travis knew these snooty, judgmental friends of his didn't "approve" of his girlfriend so he "got rid" of her but kept seeing her in secret so he could keep getting sex from her. He was a user, dishonest and seemingly quite manipulative, as are most good salesmen for pyramid scheme companies like PPL. That said, I think this girl did kill him. I think she was incensed over the fact that he treated her like she was good enough to sleep with but not good enough to settle down with. He very brazenly used this girl and flaunted other relationships in her face. In short, he messed with the wrong girl. Let this be a lesson to some of the guys out there that continue to think this stuff is ok. Sooner or later you are going to use and toss aside the wrong woman. Keep it in your pants, wait until you find someone you love and keep it real. Women are not just sex toys, we have feelings and emotions and yes-some are more sensitive than others and having their emotions manipulated this way can lead to disastrous consequences. In summation, Travis is dead because of the game he played. Jodi is going to jail because of the game she played. Another American tragedy.

Last point :

What kind of killer stabs and shoots someone , then goes to the bother of dragging what appears to be a 180 lb person back into the shower to wash them , hides the weapons , but forgets to wash the handprint and leaves a camera with pictures dated that date knowing their not going to report it ?? Someone dumb or setup..

I'm not saying she did or didn't do it,and if she did she deserves whatever's coming to her...

But his friends really annoy me ,like the couple saying she was really angry no s&&&& sherlock she just heard you slag her off , is she suppose to smile??? Not one of his friends ever seemed to want to offer any help to her while they were a couple , other then smug smiles and raised eyebrows very christ like!!

i believe travis' friend are hiding something! what did u warn him about? That she is a sexual person & it looks like they are having intimate relationships in your house? they seemed guilty of something? i believe she is also lieing too. she had enough time to put together a story with true & false events. i think he was really into there intimate relationship and she really didn't care anymore about any other girls he had as long as he was taking her to trips and still seeing her. i think his friends the hughes seem to have automaticly blamed her and even have a reason for her killing him. but they also have a reason for killing him too. he didn't listen to them was mispracticing there religion etc. no one will ever know the truth unless jodi confesses the truth before she dies.

You can't the word of anyone involved in this, as they are all clearly crazy. Believers -- whether Mormon or whatever -- are unhinged. They believe in unsubstantiated phenomenon like "evil," which makes their opinions on anything worthless.

This is extremely weird and ironic, and sad...Travis Alexander wrote this on his website. It's from an inspiring blog he kept. Here's the quote I am refering to:

"Desperately trying to find out if my date has an axe murderer penned up inside of her and knowing she is wondering the same thing about me."

And this is the link to the whole blog:

I absolutely hate the way the victim is forgotten in a murder case. Was Travis guilty of doing things that are wrong, yes, as we all can be. Did he deserve to be killed in this horrific manner? No way. Anyone who could do such a thing to another human being, should never be out in society again....God bless his family, they are in my prayers. I do not see any way that Jodi should go free. I hope that the jury can see her guilt and will do the right thing. I hope this does not become a case about Jodi, but a case about Travis, his life, his death at the hands of a person he cared for, and probably had too good a heart to turn away because part of him still cared for her. He should be remembered, honored and given a voice through his family and friends, as I am sure he would have done the same for them.
