Where Is Vanessa Pond Today? Is She Still Alive?

Vanessa Pond is very much alive and well. Her whereabouts are not known as she helped in the conviction of murder. 

On the other hand, Abaroa is a free man after serving seven years and eleven months in prison. 

Although he got charged with 123 months in prison, he applied for a second trial. He pleaded that the ordeal was not fair the first time. 

His request got granted, and he got released from prison in 2017. Since then, he moved to Utah.

This is what Raven Abaroa looked like when he appeared in court today.

Who Is Vanessa Pond? Raven Abaroa Second Wife

Vanessa Pond is the second wife of convicted murder Raven Abaroa. She was the person who came out with the suspicion that Raven had killed his first wife.

She was blissfully married to her husband Raven before he got charged with murder. 

Their story started when Raven moved to Salt Lake City with his son. In the same city, Pond was residing with her daughter.

The two met when their children went to the same daycare center.

She recalls admiring his independence. They both were single parents and connected immediately.

Soon after, the couple started dating and moved in together. 

In 2008, they tied the knot in a private ceremony in the comfort of their parent’s home.

Why Did Vanessa Pond And Raven Abora Get Divorced?

Just four months into the marriage, Vanessa Pond got suspicious of her husband, Raven. He would get angry at her for no reason and apologies immediately after.

The outbursts got serious when he started getting physical. Once, he shoved the lady against a wall. Instead of apologizing, he tried to convince her that she tripped herself.

She annulled the marriage and moved away. Thet should’ve been the end of their marriage, but she wanted to bring justice to Janet’s case.

In 2009, she went public with her knowledge when she spoke to ABC. 

After her interview, the North Carolina police department reopened the case and convinced Abarao.
