 Before April 16, 2005 Christi was living her dream as a wife and mother and was expecting her second child in a month.

Her dream tragically ended all too soon by the man who vowed to love her and his children. Just before 7 am on April 16, 2005 Christi's husband (Zach) strangled the 8 month pregnant woman and placed a plastic bag over their son's (Jaiden) head and waited for him to die. He then stuffed both bodies into a 36x20 rubbermaid storage container, pouring household cleaning products over them and leaving them there, for six days he checked on the bodies, wiped out Christi's checking account (buying drugs) and hanging with his various girlfriends.
When the bodies were discovered by a neighbor on the 22 of April Zach made no admission as to why he did it, just simply stated "He didn't know why he did it" and "I gave my family peace and calm" the worst was yet to come for Christi's parents, by Indiana law Zach was her next of kin and had all rights as to her funeral planning despite the recently obtained confession to the murders, it took a couple of hours and a family friend having to listen to Zach brag about his crime to finally get Zach to agree to sign the rights to the bodies over to Christi's parents. Linda (Christi's mom) has been working with the senators in Indiana as well as KY to change such a law. With the help of Christi's cousin Kelly the Gov. of KY signed a bill that if a spouse is charged with the murder of the other then they are not considered next of kin.
Moral: You're worth more than you know in this life and there are people out there who love you. Don't stay because you think you have too, you don't. Christi didn't make it, but I did and Christi works through myself and others to tell her story and raise awareness about Domestic Violence.  Our goal is to make women aware of the "red flags" of abuse and stop it before it startes.
Together we can make a difference.
"Forever young, Forever beautiful"

Zach goes to trial in July 2006 in Clark County, Ind. and I plan to be there if for nothing more but moral support for my adopted Mom, Linda.

Zach is a monster and deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison for his crimes and may he have a LONG, and healthy life to live.  Christi and her babies didn't ask to be abused and they certainly didn't ask to die, The baby didn't ask to have a bag over his head, Little Trinity just wanted a birthday and "Daddy" cheated her of that and all of us as well, We never got to meet her.  They deserved better than Zach Melcher.  They are beautiful Angels in Heaven, Shining down on all of us who miss them terribly. 

  I, myself, ask Christi daily for her to guide me in my own fight in leaving my abuser and she hasn't failed me yet, She helps me everyday, She keeps me strong, I hear her voice in my ear telling me "You can do it, Sis, You can leave, You're stronger than he is."  I love you Christi and I won't stop fighting for you.  

In just a few short years after murdering Christi, Jaiden & Trinity

Zach has killed again, He fatally strangled his cell mate at the wasbash correctional center in Indiana.  Indiana is now seeking the DEATH for ZACH and as much I do not believe in the state allowed murder of another, I find it worthy in this case.  Zach is a lost cause and Justice will be fulfilled once Zach is dead.

 Beautiful

You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down 
You are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Ohh no
So don't let them bring you down today

A young girl was trudging along a mountian path, trying to reach her grandmother's house. It was bitter cold, and the wind cut like a knife.  When she was within sight of her destination, she heard a rustle at her feet.

Looking down, she saw a snake.  Before she could move, the snake spoke to her. He said, "I am about to die. It is too cold for me up here, and I am freezing.  There is no food in these mountians, and I am starving.  Please put me under your coat and take me with you. 

"No," replied the girl. "I know your kind, You are a rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you will bite me, and your bite is poisonous. 

No, no said the snake If you help me you will be my best friend. I will treat you differently. 

The little girl sat down on a rock for a moment to rest and think things over.  She looked at the beautiful markings on the snake and had to admit that it was the most beautiful snake she had ever seen. 

Suddenly, she said I believe you I will save you.  All living things deserve to be treated with kindness. 

The little girl reached over, put the snake gently under her coat and proceeded toward her grandmother's house. 

Within a moment she felt a sharp pain in her side.  The snake had bitten her. "How could you do this to me?" she cried. "You promised that you would not bite me, and I trusted you!" 

"You knew what I was when you picked me up," hissed the snake as he slithered away.
