I had no issues with them at all.
But isn't it hard to believe that somebody would kill them?
It's crazy. Of course it is.
But you're saying that is not you.
Of course not. Of course not.
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly.
Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. Today's case is a wild one, okay? This one has been literal like, I don't know, several, several months in the making. And it's a notorious case in Canada because this guy is being dubbed as the Canadian Chris Watts. There are a lot of twists and turns throughout this case, a lot of details. I also want to just kind of put out a trigger warning ahead of time. It is definitely not an easy case to hear. But I'm going to break down everything for you from start to finish. So let's jump right in. In Calgary, Canada, on June 24, 2017, Jasmine Lovett and Robbie Sanderson welcomed their first child into the world, a daughter named Aliyah Lynn Sanderson.
Aliyah was born early in the morning, and she was a very, very tiny baby, but she quickly became her parents' entire world. I mean, that's how it always happens, right? You have this baby, and your whole world just shifts, and nothing else matters but this little baby. Now Jasmine and Robbie, they weren't married at the time, and they were both also pretty young when Aliyah was born. I'm not sure Robbie's exact age, but Jasmine was in her early 20s. She was around 23 years old. And she was absolutely beautiful, guys. She had this long, dark hair, dark eyes, full lips, you know, a perfect little button nose with a bunch of freckles on her face. I mean, just truly stunning. Now, being a new parent is, of course, really difficult, no matter what age you are, 100%.
But it was even tougher for them once they started having some issues in their relationship in addition to being newborn parents. So Robbie began coming home later and later, leaving Jasmine all alone. Then he began coming home drunk, or maybe sometimes even high, and then that escalated, and he began becoming aggressive. I'm not sure of the exact date of this incident, but one day Robbie came home and was aggressively asking Jasmine for money. Now, she refused because she didn't know what he was planning to use this money for, and she was, quite frankly, worried, but Robbie would not take no for an answer. He was adamant. He needed this money. So Jasmine, who was now worried about her safety and the safety of her young daughter, told him she would give him that money, but she needed to go upstairs, she needed to get her purse, and then she would bring it back down to him. But instead, she locked herself in the bathroom, and she called the police. Now somehow, Robbie found out what she was doing, and he completely lost his mind.
He kicked down the bathroom door, he grabbed the phone out of her hands, and was just completely irate. Thankfully though, he didn't attack Jasmine, and pretty soon after he got the door down, he left the house entirely. But when the police arrived, he was absolutely nowhere to be found. And since Jasmine hadn't been harmed physically, they kind of told her that there wasn't really anything that they could do about what happened. Thankfully though, even though they weren't able to do anything in that moment, Jasmine was able to obtain an emergency protection order. However, the protection order ended up being revoked 13 days later. This was after Jasmine and Robbie said that they were able to come to an agreement, they resolved their situation, they got over their differences, they came to this mutual agreement, they no longer needed this order. A lot of the information surrounding this situation is still very vague, but we do know that Jasmine and Robbie ended up splitting up.
And when they did, Jasmine received custody of Aliyah. So after this, it kind of seems like Robbie and Jasmine were able to maintain, you know, an amicable relationship, co-parenting, and trying to make things just pleasant and peaceful. And like I said, Aliyah was Jasmine's entire life, and so she was absolutely fine with being, you know, the sole caretaker, the protector.
