In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Jonathan Crupi and his wife Simeonette Mapes-Crupi looked like they had a perfect marriage. But Jonathan had a penchant for infidelity, mostly with prostitutes.
On July 5, 2012, Simeonette was found dead at their home in Staten Island, New York. She had been pushed down the stairs and stabbed 15 times. The scene was made to look as if it was a home invasion gone wrong. Investigators saw past that façade.
All fingers pointed to Jonathan. He searched online for subjects such as “how to slash throat” and other tips about cleaning up the crime scene. He was arrested in November 2012 on murder and criminal possession of a weapon charges and went to trial in July 2015. He was convicted of second-degree murder, and in September 2015 sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
During the trial, prosecutors revealed Jonathan had sex with a prostitute named Miss Pumpkin right after killing his wife. She testified at the trial and admitted to seeing him July 5, 2012.
Jonathan appealed the verdict, saying investigators did not have enough evidence to seize his laptop and other personal belongings, but the higher court affirmed the conviction.
What’s more, after he started serving his time in prison, Jonathan created an online dating profile through a prison pen pal system, saying he wanted a “fun, intelligent girl to stimulate my brain and possibly my heart.”
Let’s look back at the case involving the death of a beloved teacher and her husband who couldn’t stay loyal to her.
I’ll never understand this. Instead of being exposed for the lying cheating piece of crap that you are you’re now being exposed for exactly that AND now you’re a murderer on top of it. Makes zero sense. Prayers to her family for this tremendous life altering loss. I can’t imagine.
Malevolent narcissist. Possible psychopath . Full stop. So very sorry for the parent’s loss.😢
🤯
Beautiful young woman..and staten island..wow…rip. A life cut short. What a piece of worthless…no words for what that excuse for a human being is who did that to her…and her poor family for taking her from them. Rip.
That's so cruel.
Their daughter is so beautiful. Why would she go out with an ugly ass dude like that?
Rest in peace Simeonette. 😢 Jonathan is a sick and vile creep. Just absolutely heartless.
Ugh I hate this new at home filming format in the beginning. Absolutely detest it. Get back in the studio
where did this happen?
I always found your crime investigation series interesting. 😊 Hope the wife rest in peace. 😢 This man is really wicked in murdering his wife.
Jonathan Crupi's ass is grass and God's running the lawn mower! He'll eventually get EVERYTHING he's got coming to him in prison and in HELL!
Praying for her parents, I wish them peace🤍🕊️
I can only hope some crazed inmate would do to him what he did to his beautiful wife
Omg! How this poor girl must have suffered before she died 😢
Sad such a beautiful woman had to go thru such a thing
Undecided.
I think there are many questions that need to be answered. Im still stuck on the 8 hour delay calling 911-that is a huge red flag from the start. The prosecution is either going to let a murderer walk free because of how they have chosen to proceed with this investigation or they will kill an innocent man for basically the same reason.
Main stream media is a joke. Nancy Grace is a joke. Tyler click bait dude…JLR should all be disgusted with themselves. Why do they push their biased opinions? It shows ignorance and arrogance when you are not able to see both sides.
That reporter had a weird staten island accent
Matt Doran is a cutie! A sad story indeed…could have made it easier..divorce!
Not sure about you but I don't think having this nutcase EVER walking around free is a smart idea.
It was 1st DEGREE MURDER, he planned it all very carefully. LIFE IN PRISON NO PAROLE.
your show spends too much time trying to emotionally manipulate the viewer, instead of sticking with the story
This is wild
To Simonette’s mom and dad. I am so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful girl you raised and I’m sure touched hundreds of lives with her joy, Grace and beauty.
Sometimes it's best to stay single.
These murderers just can’t stop googling and using the internet 🙄🙄🙄
He looks like a nasty CHODE times 1000-gross
