Brandi Celenza was the definition of a glowing personality, a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew her. Born and raised in Palm Coast, Florida, she grew up with the warmth of the sun and care of both parents, Candy and John Celenza. Brandi was your typical American girl, was pretty, into sports and a bona fide Girl Scout. She was known for her adventurous spirit, and loved to be with her family. As she blossomed into adulthood, Brandi's passions guided her path.

In 2012, Brandi became a mother to a bright, adorable boy named Ryland, who quickly became the center of her universe. Now did Brandi get caught up with the same problems and vices many people find themselves ensnared by? For sure, but she never let this affect the life of her son. All her dreams and aspirations were suddenly directed to the welfare and nourishment of Ryland.

Brandi's life took a turn when she crossed paths with a man named Keith Johansen who was at the time thirty-six years old. Their casual meetings evolved into an exclusive bond, leading to a romantic relationship — which quickly deepened in a span of a year. The decision to get married felt like a natural progression, a promise of a future built together. In an intimate ceremony in the woods, they celebrated their union, surrounded by family and friends who witnessed the joy and optimism radiating from the newlyweds.

Then, a year into their marriage, tensions began to surface in Brandi and Keith's seemingly idyllic life, casting shadows over their domestic bliss. For starters, the couple had problems — they weren’t perfect. Keith's protective nature, once a source of comfort for Brandi, began to feel like a constriction that seeped into their life. Their home even had surveillance cameras all over — a pivotal detail that would eventually lead to Keith’s downfall. He would later forget that every interaction was captured and that the system had cloud backup making everything retrievable.

Security footage inside their home would reveal that they often shared an addiction to methamphetamine. However, records show Keith was deeper into the drug problem, and it slowly but surely manifested in their bond. The cracks in their marriage became more evident as financial worries added another layer of tension.

More footage from their bedroom camera revealed controlling, possessive, and to some extent, violent behavior from Keith, and this happened far too frequently to be normal. He would berate her with insults and allegations, and the nonverbal communication was rather obvious too — showing threats to hurt her in more ways than one. In one of the videos, Keith even threatened to put Brandi in a mental health institution, something that was notoriously easy to do in Florida. In another footage, the man would put a pistol beside her and ask her to kill herself. She just laid there, absorbing the abuse, and Keith finally blurted something to the effect of: “I’ll kill you even if I have to go to jail.” He then went on to accuse Brandi of infidelity among other things, all while threatening to pull the trigger to her face. This marked a critical turning point, setting the stage for the events that would soon unfold.
