    How someone can take a life insurance policy on a guy they aren't related to is a question I think more people should ask.

    • @CocoWantsACracker
      @CocoWantsACracker Місяць тому

      I think there are plenty of cases where being related has nothing to do with it. Housemates and children from a previous marriage whose parent is now in a non-marriage relationship come to mind, but I am sure there are many others. The only improvement I can think of would be to ask for renewed permission from the insured person after a short amount of time like every 6 months or so, and failure to provide it resulting in immediate termination of the policy. This would at least prevent people from forgetting that someone has a life insurance on them and would benefit from their death, which would be important to remind them of if the relations have become soured at that time. To prevent overreacting to a temporary beef, there could also be an option for the insured person to suspend the insurance, so it would not be valid until the suspension was lifted, but no new application would have to be set in motion after the issue got resolved. This would also provide law enforcement with valuable insight on how rocky the relationship between the insured and beneficiary was, as it would show up as several (or long periods) of suspension.
      Just brainstorming here, but I think the solution could best be more nuanced than a general ban, as it would probably lead to a lot of good people suffering due to a few rotten apples.

      @@mikenotta7079the jury wouldn’t have bought a sentence against all four bc the case against the men was circumstantial so the state had to trade the women‘s testimonies against the men in exchange for reduced sentences.
      Regarding the death penalty, only 5 people have been executed by the state of Washington since 1976. Capital punishment was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2018 and abolished in 2023 in the state. So you’d have had a very hard time pushing for a death penalty there. Not to mention it’s barbaric, just on a side note.

    My grandfather always had the same mantra as him, “a family who goes to the dump together, stays together”. We grew up dairy farming, working everyday with our hands and at the pinnacle of it all was my grandfather. I spent years just wishing I could be a fraction of the man he was, watching, observing, just trying to model myself after him. After all this time, after almost 10 years of him being gone, I think I’ve finally realized what he meant. “A family that’s willing to get into the dirty mess with eachother, and still come out of it together, will stay together”. I just hope I can implement that into those after me. R.I.P Grandpa. Hope you’re riding that mower in the sky 🙏❤️

      In 2008, a young female agent Lindsey Buziac, was murdered by a white couple with thick eastern european accents. The woman wore a very distinct black white and red dress with a vertical wave design.
      It's years old now sadly.
      I hope it will be solved soon.

    Poor Vern. A great guy that worked his whole life to have it ended by some scumbags! When she said she had a place to sell, but was living in a dive motel⁉️❓⁉️❓⁉️❓⁉️ What?
    Thanks Mike for bringing another unheard case to life - as only you can do! 🤓

    What a thrill! Lunch with Mike TWICE this week--and neither time did the menu feature a knuckle sandwich, teeth salad, or shit for dessert (though the thought of the latter almost put me off my chocolate creme pie). You are hard on poor Cowiche. They have a proud high school and a landmark supermarket. And apples (not just hops). The Yakima Valley is the number one apple producing region in the who US of A. My travel philosophy: There's ALWAYS something there. Thanks, Mike. Luv ya.

    Damn, keep your friends close and enemies closer. He probably didn’t even have a clue they could be so evil. That was hard to watch. They couldn’t just wait for a few more years until he’d pass naturally.

    Came home from a long day of work and was instantly bummed at the realization that I have nothing good in mind to watch after changing into my comfy sweats ready to unwind for the night… then I popped open my YT and was pleasantly surprised to see a new video upload from TC!
    I squealed with joy and excitement at the fact that you uploaded a second video this week. I miss the 2 episodes per week routine, although I also love the longer episodes you’ve posted as well. I can’t get enough. Thank you for your hard work and entertaining true crime videos Mike! I can’t express enough how much I appreciate you and your videos! Keep up the great work, cause I love ya… Kait out ✌🏻❤❤

    It seems as if the vast majority of cases covered involve people motivated by greed. I personally can relate to the pain of being broke and destitute, and the demoralizing feeling of being incapable of supporting yourself in this most basic of ways. The temptation of quickly having a financial windfall could make you set aside your morals and standards…but there’s always a definite boundary you can’t cross.
