Its kind of annoying to me that they choose to make "Janice" look like she is so innocent and just a scared harmless person following orders, she helped lure her there and was definitely a POS herself but I guess since its lifetime that would ruin it for women so they have to make it all seem like its the guy forcing her to do it all and its not her fault.
shareI'm not defending her in anyway but most things I've read said she was also a victim and his full control too. One thing I read months ago profiles her as brain washed. Kind like Stockholm syndrome. That's what happened with Colleen. I won't spoil the movie but you will see what I mean.
I've wondered if Janice believed The Company was real too. Did she believe the lies Colleen was told too?
No I remember watching an interview years ago and she said she knew the company wasn't real.
shareYeah she was mean to Colleen and called her a piece of furniture and was jealous.
shareAmyjo you've have it correct.
shareAs in I don't "have it correct"? Everything I said is true, she doesn't get a free pass because "the big bad man forced her" that excuse doesn't fly. Charles Manson's followers were under his influence but they still went to prison for what they did. I just knew that is how this movie would portray the woman when I saw it was going to be on lifetime and I bet there will be a ton of defenders saying she did nothing wrong when this board gets more traffic.
shareI'm not defending her at all. Only she knows her part in it. I'm just sharing what I've read. But as I see it she was a victim too. What she did was wrong but I think she went along with all this as a way to survive.
shareI don't see her as a victim. And what REALLY ticked me off was her statement when asked to be interviewed for the documentary. She basically said she wasn't going to bother to say anything, because anything she said would be twisted around by people-- and she is one of the most gentle people that she knows. In other words, she has assumed zero responsibility for the role she played in torturing and killing both of these young women. Shame on her! As evil as her husband was, at least he didn't claim to be innocent. And how the hell could she raise children of her own while a woman was locked in a box underneath her bed? It is a complete travesty of justice that that woman was not sent to prison for the rest of her life. Judgement from God in the afterlife is not enough, she needed to be punished in this life. Also, I hate it when people say they are not excusing her, and then proceede to do just that.
shareThat statement she made irritated me too. The fact that she needed a plea deal in order to testify against her husband is what makes me not feel sorry for her in any way. If she had found religion at that time and felt guilt for her role in everything, then she should have testified because it was the right thing to do and accept her punishment for her role. Colleen and the murdered girls were the only victims.
shareI understand what you are saying. Yet, I have read many reports that the wife really did act like that. The man treated his wife the same way, but she got tired of the S&M part so they agreed he would find someone who could be his slave and that is when they found Colleen.
shareThat's why I said only she knows her part in it. She will face judgement in front of God one day.
shareWhat is "the S&M"???
.....................Sometimes ya gotta wonder....
I definitely won't defend her, she absolutely should have paid for her part in that whole awful ordeal. She probably realized that Colleen might eventually choose to file charges so she decided to cover her own a$$ By leaving her husband and confessing everything, all while guaranteeing she had immunity. She was an accomplice to not only what was done to Colleen but also to a murder. Marie Elizabeth Spannhakke's family has never received any true justice or closure for their daughter's murder, Janice is half responsible for that and yet she was never punished.
I don't believe one minute of this story. Too far fetched to accept two women are that delusional.
