SOLVED: She Tried to Warn Them About her Son, Then he was MURDERED. THE CASE OF GUNNAR SCHUMACHER

According to Christina, there was never really a time in their marriage where they were truly happy. It seems as soon as they got married, Sonny began to abuse Christina. She said that it started as financial control and emotional abuse. Even though Christina had her own full-time job as a financial officer at GE Healthcare Corporation, Sonny always had control over the home's finances.

She says that if you look at the pictures of the children on vacation, they all look miserable. Then Sunny wrote a list of house rules that the family was to follow.
