Her covering her ears like a coward, made me so mad. If you can do the crime at least the bare minimum, you should have to sit through and listen to what other people have to say.
Covering your ears like that doesn't stop the sound from coming in. She could still hear. She acted very child-like throughout everything. To me that was more of an outward expression of childish body language. Like stomping feet or over dramatically crossing arms in front of the body during a tantrum. It's like a "feel pity for me, look how hard this is for me, look how I can't handle this". But she could definitely hear.
**COWARD** Yes! That's the exact word that comes to mind whenever I see that ridiculous clip of her. This case sincerely makes my blood boil. Her parents seemed like great people. I sincerely believe they would have everything they could in order to support her all the way through the process with school. I went away to college on a swimming scholarship. After two years, I was exhausted, I just couldn't do it anymore. I took a break for a few years, got my cosmetology license, figured out I hated it, and finally came back to school with a fresh attitude and renewed excitement for learning. After I got my first degree, I transferred schools, during which time I was academically suspended/kicked out for a semester. I knew all along I had let everything school-wise get out of hand. I knew the quality of work and the grades I was receiving. Getting kicked out was not a surprise in the least, especially since the school did everything to prevent it as I knew they couldn't get my money if I flunked out. I hated having to humble myself and tell my parents I messed up and how much I could use their help and support. They weren't happy that I didn't say anything earlier, but they were there to help me jump through what seemed like 100s of hoops to get me back in. It was so much dang work/stress/tears to be reinstated... but I got through it and graduated with my second degree. I am beyond grateful I had my parents - and MOST parents and teachers want kids to be successful! While there are some bad parents out there, I don't believe for a second that Brenda wouldn't have moved mountains to help get Sidney back on track... if only Sidney gave them that opportunity. It is such a horribly unnecessary and selfish tragedy. Rest peacefully, Brenda 💔
This reminds me so much of my own story. I went off to college, got caught up in the lifestyle and lost my scholarship. Rather than go home and face my mother and admit that I couldn’t handle it - I left the campus, lived in my car and showered at camp visitor centers and gyms for free. I eventually had my car break down and sold it for a bus ticket home. My mother already knew I wasn’t enrolled anymore and asked how my “vacation” was. I was meant to stay home after this, get a job and go to the community college where I was able to have some accountability. Going from high school to college - isn’t an easy transition but murder is HUGE mistake and an overreaction. I never once thought to kill my mother because of my failure to adjust.
I have a similar story, but it wasnt college that didnt work out but my whole life. I lost my boyfriend, apartment, pets, etc and I didnt want to go back home and admit it so I stayed homeless for a period of time. Murder never crossed my mind once.
I had a similar situation. I was kicked out due to low grades (didn’t go to class/depression/mono 🙄), but I told my mom even though it was really hard and embarrassing and she was really disappointed. But we both got over it, I got a job and moved on. That was ten years ago and now I’m comfortable in a full time job while taking online classes to complete my degree. Like I said, at the time I was so disappointed and mad and embarrassed at myself but I couldn’t imagine hurting my mother because of my own mistakes.
@@sasslexis0126 yes exactly, my mother was disappointed but she more so hurt that I would rather be “homeless” than to come back home and face the music. This was 14 years ago and while that wasn’t my path - I’ve found a new one and I am grateful and happy.
She was a victim of nothing. She could have moved off campus and taken community college classes. It could has cost less. Then she could transfer credits back to her college. She just wasnt getting her way, which by the way is called real life in the real world. Most likely she was extremely spoiled at home and expected to be extremely spoiled away from home for the rest of her life.
It's so creepy that there has become this "theme" of young adults lying to their parents and then committing murder when they get caught. Grant Amato, Chandler Halderson, Jennifer Pan, Sydney Powell...I shouldn't be able to name four off the top of my head. What is happening?!
There are a lot of parents who expect the same level of success or better than they achieved, but don’t account for the reality that the economy is much worse than it used to be. The stakes are pretty high now. It’s a lot harder to compete for the few jobs that will allow you to buy a house and have a reasonable standard of living.
@@deathray252 That doesn't explain this situation, though. They were letting her live at home and were paying for her college themselves. It's not like they were even having her work through school. That is very much true with some parents, but it just doesn't apply to this case.
She’s not insane, she had enough sense to pretend for months that she was still in school. This is another example of using mental health as a convenient excuse to avoid real life consequences. The only person I feel bad for is the mother of course.
@@kshejohnson9207 It's obvious......and many of those doctors are easily fooled. There are prisoners who can act out any mental illness in the DM. They also pretend to have Multiple Personality Disorder. One FBI agent quipped he didn't care as long as he arrested the guilty one. These prison shrinks are very naive and easily fooled by psychopaths and sociopaths and they end up getting out on parole and kill again. I saw my ex husband, a sociopath narcissist fool a court ordered psychologist, a bunch of social workers, the childrens counsel and his own lawyer, a woman, whom he was shagging during our custody case. I saw nuns falling all over him at the nunnery where my children and I were in hiding but he got a court order to visit them there, this potential family annihilator. The nuns were falling all over him. But I won in the end as I had so much evidence against him. He not only lost the custody case his parental rights were terminated permanently. He never wanted our kids in the first place but used them as a weapon against me for leaving him. But until the bitter end, he had all these mental health professionals on his side and they didn't even try to hide their bias.
It’s inconceivable that she killed a mother she was so close to. But the fact that she tried to come up with another story tells me that she wasn’t insane. She is guilty of murder.
that is why she is traumatized her mom from what I observed seemed to be quite controlling and seemed to track her every move which for being in college is weird.
@Sundaylamb3 Controlling? I mean you could be right, I didn't hear that but If that were the case, how could she go so long without her Mom finding out she was no longer in college?
Her father even said "it's okay if you need to take a semester or two off" He understood and I'm sure her mother did (or would have) as well! This is so sad!
Because your mom would. But Sydney has not even shared starting her period with her mom and that is very weird! Something was not working in their relationship. Why would she rather hide her failure in college and feel like she has to be a top student? That is a thinking of a child of an abusive, demanding parent. The dad looks loving though.
@@Julienna which is also super weird that Annie really emphasized they were BEST friends. Like why when clearly that wasn’t the case in the slightest. Idk why but it really bothered me that she overhyped their relationship
Better help seems dangerous to young teens who are easily manipulated & mislead. Also to people who are not in the mental capacity to have common sense
The thing that stands out to me is that when police showed up she tried to say someone else attacked her mom and her mom told her to get out. To me that says she was not having a psychotic break if she was able to make up a lie to try to cover up her actions, and it also means she knew it was wrong.
Not that I think she was psychotic but people can have psychotic symptoms and still have their logic. Also someone with delusions might truly think that they were reacting to something that didn't actually happen. But at the end of the day it's still about whether she knew it was wrong in that moment
She had MONTHS to tell her parents what was going on and chose not to. Why do people keep k1lling other people just to hide their secrets? Its beyond pathetic
Right? I was a sneaky little sh** when I was younger and when I got caught, I didn’t kill anyone, I just listened to the yelling of disappointment or took an a** whoopin like a normal person.
Watch the police interviews with her father and her friend at college. She was partying and getting drunk at the frat parties, and has completely destroyed her father. Alsi look at the photo of her walking into court with the family. Whole lot of stuff going on there, including proof if you needed it that the crying in court was totally for show.
I wish better help would get BETTER HELP cuz some of those therapist stories ive heard are- unnerving, its as if the therapists dont actually have a licence
She’s young but she’s still an adult! They say oh your brain 🧠 is not done developing until you’re 25 but they never said that in 2006 when I graduated high school it was you’re 18 you’re an adult. Many people don’t realize college students are adults now. Young adults but still adults.
@@oooh19I hate when young ppl want the privilege of being an adult but not the accountability. Frankly, I don’t even think 21 year olds have enough life experience to be adults in the current times. They can barely handle their booze and a cellphone bill. There’s no reason they should have the privilege of voting or entering into contracts. I mean how many “adults” signed student loan contracts and now don’t want to be held to them?! Sorry Becky but you prob should’ve learned how to cuz hair because that biology bachelors ain’t gonna do squat when you don’t make it thru medical school and end up as a teacher. Then wonder how you end up with so much debt and so little to pay it. These “adults” are so naive.
@@tjtruth4793 Yet in NZ kids can leave school at 15 and get a job and a drivers license. They can even leave home if they are self supporting. They can drink at 18 if supervised by parents and can drink without them at 20 but most here start much younger. The age of consent is 16....we don't mollycoddle our kids but bring them up to be independent. Boys can cook and help around the house and do laundry and even sew and knot. They are self sufficient from a young age. I used to babysit at 13......
You can drink at 18 completely unsupervised and earlier with parental consent @Juanita-gf4te so our laws are even more lax than you initially described 😅
She definitely had an underlying hate for her mother knowing how many times she stabbed her. It really makes me wonder why she would feel that way about her mother? 🤯
I know someone who was spoiled rotten by parents and never held accountable for actions and when not giving her way she hated them. Sometimes it's just a spoiled brat
I am glad that you ask the question. What child would be afraid to talk openly about their struggles with a loving mom? With a bestie... how she was described by Anna. I doubt her mother was her bestie. Something smells off about the relationship. Also, it was mentioned somewhere else, that Sydney has not even shared starting her first period with her mom, she just started using her pads. If this is true, then it was NOT a good close relationship between them. I smell a very strict, controlling mother. (Of course, I disagree with what Sydney did to her.)
Could you even imagine having a child grow up and turn out to be your murderer?! And all over college my oldest went 4 years it was his choice not mine I wasn't the kind of parent that pressured my kids anyway. Unbelievable! She was NOT BFF's with her Mother! Very sad, sad story.
15 years for murder seems pretty lenient if they are not accepting an insanity plea. I wonder what she would have got if she stsbbed her Mum in their trailer in Appalachia?
She had 3 months, 90 days to tell her parents the truth. Matter of fact she didn’t even have to tell them she failed. She could have told them hey, I’m moving home I don’t like it here anymore, I don’t want to go to college anymore and took a different path. There were so many other options here than violence.
What blows my mind is all these kids killing their parents…seems like the parents would have been willing to help them. Not in one of these stories did it seem like they didn’t have their family to go home to and reevaluate the situation. They aren’t doing it because of how the family treats them but how they feel about themselves. It’s disgusting!
@@looking4therealrepairmanjack it's a mix, young, all the way to young adults posting on go fund me I turned my parents in. My sis's 9yr called about weed being in her house in which they of course never found.
It’s actually shocking how many of my favorite UA-camrs are still partnering with Better Help. Please, look more into their history and decide if you still want to partner with them.
They know that Better Help is problematic, they just don't care because at the end of the day all these UA-camrs want the money. Don't let them fool you into thinking that they would continue making videos if they weren't getting paid.
The fact you welcome your new neighbors with a candle is so precious and sweet. We live in a day and age where people dont even acknowledge their new neighbors let alone make them feel welcome. Youre a sweetheart ❤
My newborn just got out of NICU and came home and he’s such a fan of your voice it’s the only time he calms down when he’s gassy. I think he heard your voice in my tummy so much it reminds him of being inside me. Thank you!!!
It’s like some of us do stupid things when we drink too much and then you have these narcissistic people that do horrendous things stone sober and then fight like hell to portray their innocence, so so so evil and twisted.GOD help us🙏🌟💕
I never understood how "insanity" is even a qualifying defense. If a person is capable of snapping in any instance and comitting murder, in this case brutally murdering their own mother, shouldnt that serve as further evidence they should not be roaming free in society?
@@kshejohnson9207 She also pretended to be her Mother immediately afterwards, which would require awareness of the situation and manipulative behaviour. Then after, in the call when she heard the police were coming, she decided to stage the scene and lie about an intruder. Finally she then changed her behaviour when police arrived, all in support of a narrative.
Girl I love your channel but please research your sponsors, better help has been in a lot of hot water. Otherwise congrats on the ongoing growth of Serialously! So stoked for you
They coddled and spoiled her all the way to the end. When a child doesn’t learn how to fail, or be told no, or learn that they can’t be the best at everything creates these kinds of humans. Justice for Brenda. 💔
I had a similar experience to Sydney in university. Solid A grade student all through high school then started flunking in uni 8 hours away from home. I felt like a giant failure and that my mom would make me move back to my hometown (which I really didn’t want to) if I told her the truth. It was really hard and it took getting stress induced alopecia on my head to tell my mom but ended up telling her, took a year off and worked, then went back to school for something completely different. Thank god I found my calling and am doing great in my field now. I’m sure Sydney would’ve too had she been able to tell her parents. What she did is unbelievable, never once did I think about hurting my mom. Sad
You should NOT feel stressed about being honest with your mom. Just like Sydney should have not felt like she had to hide it. That is not a good relationship. And you even lost your hair because of it! Talking to a mom should not feel like anxiety. Feeling like a giant failure - that feeling is taught, not natural. It is life, we succeed and we fail. Your mom must have been hyper critical with you. Which I feel sorry for you. Mom should feel like a support and understanding, especially if it is something small (yes, it is) like that. You did not steal, kill, or beat somebody. It was just not the right school for you.
This case sincerely makes my blood boil. Her parents seemed like great people.

Me too! I have a few others I listen to but still noone that is as great at Annie! I've followed for a long time so I can't even go back and listen to old ones because I've already seen them all lol
OMG... the way Iaughed out loud when you said, " if you know me I live for door dash" I hear you sis, I hear you. If we ever meet up, just bring the true crime and I'm bringing the food.
The danger of secrets. It’s weird how these deceptions are often about things that could just be talked out. Or some other way. But the layers build until serious tragedy occurs. These stresses and problems literally are not worth someone’s life. Long winded. Thank you for the video and commentary
EXACTLY;why couldn't she just talk to her parents honestly from the beginning when she wasn't doing well in school. To go so far in everything she did is just crazy;not crazy to escape punishment though
Yeah, I don't get it. I did the samething in my 1st year of Uni, I skipped so many classes. but I did not kill my parents. Just told them I was quitting and wanted something shorter. They were fine with it. It's not that hard to communicate that. Not everyone is made for college life.
@@Amiwa3 This is exactly what I can't understand, because I was in similar position at my Uni. In parallel, I studied languages (3rd year) and in process of graduation from ballet school to become a Principal (professional ballerina). At one point everything became too much for me and I had to slow down with my language studies. I admit that it was endlessly difficult for me to decide to travel home (from one side of Europe, to a completely different European country), so that I could talk with my parents and explain the situation so that we could find the best solution together. I just can't imagine that instead of planning conversations regarding my future life and my own career, I have spent that time planning how to kill my own parents, that I love endlessly, just to get out of that abnormal act with impunity. Such a big and completely unimaginable thing couldn't even occur to me, because my brain does not function in such a way, that I would come up with the idea for an act that is so brutal, final and absolutely unjustifiably unforgivable. So I think maybe there was something really wrong with her, and maybe there was some previously undetermined mental illness or disorder?! That whole thing is so unimaginable for me
Yea the people from the school should ahve called when they went to that dorm and found her living there months later even if she insisted that they not call ,then the mother would of known right there with Sidney with them instead of at home
I will never understand how someone could think MURDER is a better option than just coming out with the truth and asking for help... it makes me question just how close they actually were...
I work at Mount Union. 😬 my supervisor was there when this happened and use to talk to Sydney every day. She said she never knew she was capable of what she did to Brenda
I feel you! I understand that content creators have to get paid and we’re getting this content for “free” (although, like you I too pay for YT premium). However, this channel has ad breaks that seem to last way too long. I just end up skipping through them.
Exactly. I have a friend who has spoiled her 7 y/o daughter BEYOND belief. I mean, this child runs the house and does what she wants! She is homeschooled, so she never has to go to bed or get up at any certain time. Just whenever she wants. The girl curses at home like a truck driver. Her mom let's her bc she thinks it's funny. She won't allow her to cuss out in public or around certain people but is free to at some times. The child is a master manipulator and gets exactly what she wants, when she wants it. I'd almost be impressed if it weren't so pathetic. She wears makeup and dresses herself. This normally is a common thing with little girls but her mom let's her go out in public like this! She's an beautiful child with gorgeous long curly hair. However, she pitches a holy conniption fit if anyone tries to brush her hair, so it generally looks like a wild rats nest! Literally. Her parents have a nice big 4 bedroom home and damn near every room is jam packed with this child's shit! Clothes, shoes, toys, Squishmellows, etc. Obviously this child is never told no, never disciplined and never has any chores. She is also never made to suffer the consequences of her own actions. I have tried to tell my friend that she is creating an enormous monster from the 7th circle of HELL. I could be wrong but I envision them having massive problems with this child in the near future. Will she murder her mother? Probably not because she doesn't appear to have any severe mental illnesses or aggressive/violence tendencies. She can actually be a sweet and loving child at times. However, I shudder to think what all of this coddling, spoiling and sheltering her will do long-term. Parenting is NOT easy and it's ugly at times. Why people have kids if they're not willing to do the work is beyond me.
I went through something similar my first year of college. I was a 4.0 student all through high school. My first semester of college started out good but then I got approached by an MLM group and they completely took advantage of my naivety. They used cult-tactics and love bombing and I was convinced I would do that instead of school. But I couldn’t just quit- my parents wouldn’t understand. I was so distracted and consumed by this new thing and the people that my grades started to drop. I couldn’t get it together and eventually was failing. I was so embarrassed that I avoided the subject at all costs with my family. But eventually I had to come clean at the end of my second semester. Of course I never once thought of committing a crime to keep it a secret though. Them finding out was inevitable and I knew that I would have to face those consequences. Sad to say, it took me 14 years to get away from that group. It was all consuming. They really controlled how I lived my life. It’s painful to look back on. I would love to see you do a deep dive into the cult-tactics used my MLM groups and the damage they cause. It really is crazy how much they control people and hurt families.
I'm so sorry that you were taken advantage of. Would you mind sharing the name of the MLM? I had a pretty similar experience after I had my son. They really take advantage of those who need help, and need a community.
@@timothy2935 it’s also more commonly referred to as a “pyramid scheme” which according to Wikipedia is “A business model which earns primarily by enrolling others into the scheme, however rather than earning income (or providing returns-on-investments) by sale of legitimate products to an end consumer, it mainly earns by recruiting new members with the promise of payments (or services).” It’s very common I just recently had a girl approach me at church. I thought she wanted to be my friend but I realized after a few meetings with her that she was trying to get me to invest into this random company I never heard of under the guise of “business mentorship”.
Hi! Can you please elaborate or just give some resources? We have a similar platform I guess it was based on BetterHelp here in Russia that I use, and I want to avoid trouble....
My daughter is in college and is Very type A. She stresses all the time between full time school, work, sorority, etc. She calls me to vent all the time. I've always told her we don't expect straight A's in college as long as you keep the 3.2. We get Tudors, told her talk to her professors and she studies with friends. College IS hard, but you have to go knowing you'll need help and how to ask for it. We told her before she left, you're gonna fail, fall, lose, and cry...but you gotta get back up. This is really sad because it seems like she had caring, involved parents. Doesn't seem like they would have demanded perfection but who knows. So sad she couldn't just be vulnerable with everyone who could help
Something like this I did I was in cosmetology school & my parents were writing the checks & they left messages on my parents phones saying I wasn’t showing up. My parents were extremely strict when it came to school & I was living at home with my boyfriend & I was pregnant. I tried avoiding them but I just had to suck it up & tell them. They were more understanding than I could’ve ever imagined. My daughter is 11 now & I went back & graduated. We have the best relationship with my parents
sorry but when the dean and that lady called back and Sydney tried to pretend she was her mother, that proves she knew exactly what she was doing.. she was trying to buy herself time.
Girl, I love your channel. Truly respect what your doing. A little tip, see if you can move your sponsors to the begining or end. It feels really icky stopping in the middle of a horrific true crime w real victims. Thx for your work!
I love this channel but "working so hard to find these cases"? This case just showed up on another channel i follow. Just follow 48 hrs, true crime, law and crime network and 3 random crime channel and you will realize what a circle jerk this is. Most of these true crime channels are following each other and putting out the same cases. I appreciate that this channel tries to go more in-depth but finding these cases is actually the easy part. One of the few ive come across doing something different is the lady doing medical malpractice crimes, rotten mango/stephanie who covers asian crimes and the misery machine (if you're not aware of them, don't go looking. Nightmare fuel)
@@tropistan7735 do you feel better? I am so sorry that you do so much better than this channel. Go watch your other ones. I do, in fact follow misery machine and I am grateful for their work too. If you think you can do better, go make your own channel and leave Annie alone. She actually does older cases too. If you watch this site often you would know that she does a lot more cases than just current ones. Followers ask her to do old cases in their areas that haven’t been acknowledged by news or internet sites. She does cases that she doesn’t want to but people ask her to. She works hard and I am very grateful for her work and her telling of the story.
There are so many stories like this where the person is living this outrageous lie and then thinks murder will solve the problem. The Brent Ryan case from Canada is like that, but his web of lies is absolutely insanity. and also Chandler Halderson was a similar case. I don't know why they think this "solution " would ever work
Agreed, a murderer or alleged murderer should not be allowed to leave courtroom when crying. The jurors, attnys, judge etc are required to remain in the courtroom.
Schizophrenia often presents during college years, young adulthood with hallucinations, hearing voices, and delusions. I have experience with this as it happened to my daughter. She could switch seamlessly between full on psychotic episodes and behaviors described as normal. She took her life in a mental facility as my husband and I fought the California legal system to become her legal guardian. My heart breaks for this family, mental health disorders are challenging to diagnose, challenging to treat, especially schizophrenia, as the patient is un aware of their deteriorating mental state.
As the mother of a son who has Schizophrenia, my heart breaks for you. People who haven't experienced it do not understand. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss and may your daughter rest in peace
Donna, I am so so sorry for your loss. Mental illness is so overlooked and not taken as seriously as it should be. I don't have schizophrenia, but I do suffer my own mental illnesses. The stigma is astounding. There's also so much to learn yet. Sending *hugs*.
A friend of mine is going through this now. Unfortunately, the systems in place to care for them are not very helpful. It’s a very complex illness, and they can get easily triggered by stress of any kind.
This hits so close to home for me because there was a very similar situation with my brother, minus the murder part. He was a straight a student through high school and college, where he was double majored and graduated a year early. He decided to go to law school, and had aspirations of getting into politics. However, he failed out of law school during his first semester. He just couldn’t handle the course load, even though he had always been such a good student. But he didn’t tell anyone. He just started acting withdrawn and being very hard to get ahold of. at Christmas, he kept finding ways to make himself busy so he could dodge questions from well-meaning family members that were excited to hear about law school. She had been living in graduate student housing on campus, and because I only lived a few miles away in the same town, I would meet him on campus sometimes. One day, I showed up unannounced with a coffee for him and called him to tell him I was outside his building. He absolutely flipped out and then rushed over to campus and yelled at me for invading his personal space. Fast forward a few months, and I get an angry phone call from my mother, who was screaming at me and telling me what a horrible sister I am, and I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. I’m not sure how, but somehow my mom found out that he had left school and he was so ashamed to tell anyone, so he had been living in his car for months. He had a nine dollar membership to planet fitness, where he would go to shower. It was summertime, so he would spend all of the hot parts of the day whenever he wasn’t working, hanging out at the library or stores to get into the air-conditioning. Apparently, he told my mom that I had known, and that I wouldn’t help him, which was absolutely false. I had no earthly idea that any of that had happened, and I certainly would have let him stay with me if I had known. My husband and I had a very small two bedroom condo at the time, so it would have been a tight squeeze, but I never would have let my own brother go homeless. Shame is a very strong motivator for some people to lie and keep secrets.
I do believe that a psychotic break is certainly possible. A schizophrenia diagnosis too. But like the prosecution said, that doesn't necessarily absolve you of your actions. And I think that's an important distinction to make in cases like these.
Good morning everyone, you are the best true crime UA-camr ever!! Much love from Colorado!! P.S. I pray everyone is having an amazing day, I had surgery yesterday so today is gonna be a little bit rough but I’m happy to be alive!! ❤
Thank you for this video, Annie. You are a huge part of me and my sissy's life! We watch your videos and listen to your podcasts together. Would you cover the Alianna Defreeze case, please, and thank you.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL I REWATCH YOUR VIDEOS TO FALL ASLEEP!! I feel like something is wrong with me if I find your true crime videos soothing enough to fall asleep watching LITERALLY DAILY!!!!!!!!
Love doesn't just switch off. You can support without condoning their actions. I have a friend who had a son driving drunk and killed his brother. That family struggles hard but have stood by the surviving son. That's unconditional love.
That's so different. The other son most likely is guilt ridden himself and while his choice to drive was negligent he never would have done it had he known the outcome. She knew the outcome of stabbing her mother to death. It's so disgusting.
The fact the family asked her to not be held accountable by law is insane. The public deserves to be protected from people who have the ability to kill esp from a little stress. Makes you wonder if they ignored red flags with her all along, and just expect the rest of us to enable bad behavior.
THIS EPISODE IS YOUR BEST NARRATION ON YOUR NEW PODCAST.. ..YOU SEEM CONFIDENT AND IM SO EXCITED FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PROGRESS AND GROWTH...YOU ARE VERY INSPIRING...JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE TOLD.

SHE had a bad week? Can you imagine what her poor father had gone through? From talking to her school, finding out she had been lying to him, then she kills his wife on the same day, then she's arrested. Then he has to cough up a quarter of a million dollars to get her out??? But in truth, I think it would be hard to believe that your daughter was capable of doing something like this, and maybe there was some thread of hope thinking well maybe she didn't do it. I think she totally freaked out knowing the jig was up and reacted.
Every time someone murders somebody they always remember things they did their whole life and never had any mental health issues but when it comes to killing someone all of a sudden they cant remember anything it was all a blackout and now they have all kinds of mental problems..its the same thing with every killer. Sickening!
Annie, I agree with you. The conversation dialogue makes one realise that these are not just statistics and you help us remember that. We need to remember people who lose their lives because of people who do evil things, for whatever reason. So sad for the person and for their families. Bless them. I wish there were not this many cases. Cheers Elizabeth (Australia)
She did this on purpose. Cold blooded ungreatfull girl. She knew what she was doing. The phone calls- not speaking, then hanging up the phone picking up and her impersonating her mother. She had clear thought of mind, quickly thinking of ways to cover up and still thinking of ways to get out of it.
Same here, at least we can skip through these. Some channels I follow get the ads out of the way at the beginning or wait and do them at the end. But interrupting twice during the show is super annoying.
As the wife of a therapist, this sounds like a real manic episode. Also coming from having a crazy grandma, they didn’t know she was crazy for years but as a child, I knew right away. I think they are now realizing signs they missed.
Maybe she was so used to "killing it" that she did break at the thought of her failing. Her mom, trying to discuss it with her, made it real, and she wanted to shut up and stop any mention of her failing. ?
When I was 17 I started my first semester at a community college. Soon enough, I became extremely overwhelmed and I failed out of most of my classes. Instead of talking to my parents, I was too embarrassed and thought if I could just figure out a way to tell them. I continued to go onto the campus, napping in my car and hanging out with friends in between their classes. One day, I gathered up a few things and a bit of cash and bought a bus ticket out of town. I ran away from home because I couldn’t face what I did and how much of a failure I was. I understand every feeling she must have been feeling. Aside from wanting to harm the people who loved and supported me the most. I don’t think I could ever cross that line. Murder cannot solve your problems. Thanks for reading! Love your channel, Annie!
Sorry ahead of time for the wall of text, but I wanted to share a little bit about my experience. I feel zero sympathy over her killing her mother. But it makes me a little sick how similar her story is to mine. Same timeline and everything (minus the killing). I had developed bipolar disorder senior year of high school, but I didn't know it yet. By college it was a struggle to do anything. I had succeeded my entire life. I was in a special scholars group at my university--only 100 of us got chosen and we got to live in the fancy new dorms and choose advanced classes if we chose to, even as freshman. End of first semester I got several Cs and one D. I was crushed. I had never gotten anything lower than a B. And a B was rare for me. By the end of spring semester I was put on academic probation. Beginning of my sophomore year in the fall, my advisor recommended I see the school's counseling service. They diagnosed me with bipolar disorder, but it was too late. I was expelled at the end of fall and lost the psychiatric services as well, so my life just continued to spiral down. I didn't tell my parents. I was a failure and I was so deeply embarrassed. I continued to lie for several years. I didn't pretend I was going to the same school. I told them I was going to take some classes at a community college to take a break. But because I lost psychiatric services, I was no longer medicated properly and I basically 'failed' those classes, too. Never an F but never anything above a C. But after succeeding so highly my entire life, I was deeply afraid to admit to my parents that I was indeed a failure and I hadn't lived up to their expectations. My parents are wonderful, but I was still scared and ashamed. I never would have even thought about hurting them, though, and that's where our stories diverge. RIP to her wonderful mother. She seemed so lovely and sweet. I believe this girl is mentally ill, but I believe she is where she belongs. There are consequences to actions--even if those actions are done while mentally ill. It's just so sad for the whole family to have lost that wonderful woman.
Thank you for sharing. I agree that untreated trauma caused me to do really bad in college too. Similar story. I was so disturbed when my parents found out😭 But also I didn’t harm anyone but myself. Drinking drugs and the like. Eventually I got treatment for depression and eventuality healing for the trauma. Went on to nursing school and had an amazing career and really cared for my pts bc of my own earlier struggles. God bless you❤️
I've seen a couple docs about this already. It sounds like the parents were up this kid's ass. Seriously.. the dad has a tracker on his daughter's phone and rushes home when he sees her going there. WTF?!
Some of those first pictures of Sydney reminded me of Gypsy rose after her nose job.I wasn’t even thinking of Gypsy and thought wow this looks similar to Gypsy. I’m barely in the beginning of the video but from the tiny bit I know so far, what this girl did to her mother, who just loved her dearly is just so heartbreaking :( this poor woman
Hi Annelise love your videos!!! I always put you on when I’m watching dishes or putting my makeup 😊 I’ve recommended your videos to all my friends now we are all hooked to your videos! God bless you
Until you personally know someone who goes through a psychotic break, you won't understand. They are literally someone else during the break, occupying the body of your loved one. She was a straight A student before this ruined her life.
Actually, she was not a straight-A student: she flunked out. And didn't take advantage of the help that was offered. We don't know that she had a "psychotic break". The prosecution's expert witness points out we know nothing about Sydney's mental condition at the time of the event, aside from what Sydney has reported. Any reality is lost in Sydney's lies and her obvious malingering.
In a true psychotic break, you literally don't know wth ur doing or why. And no matter how hard you try, u Can't remember. Idc how many times ur asked, u Can't remember. Your mind is quite literally fractured/broken. She snapped for sure, but her mind wasn't broken. Just my 2 cents.
Honestly Annie, I have an adult daughter who had mental health issues and drug addiction. It tore our family apart. i had to set boundaries, but lots of heart wrenching decisions.. It is rough when it is your own child.
Love when I catch your videos right away.... At work doing some housekeeping can't think of anything better to listen too. T.Y. for the effort you put into these episodes❤
i feel bad for her & her family. poor mum. what a tragic ending for something so insignificant, the daughter looks remorseful as if she can’t believe what she has done to herself & family :/
Breaking the window and acting like her Mom on the phone proves that she knew what she did was wrong….GUILTY
Her covering her ears like a coward, made me so mad. If you can do the crime at least the bare minimum, you should have to sit through and listen to what other people have to say.
The judge should have made her uncover her ears!
Covering your ears like that doesn't stop the sound from coming in. She could still hear. She acted very child-like throughout everything. To me that was more of an outward expression of childish body language. Like stomping feet or over dramatically crossing arms in front of the body during a tantrum. It's like a "feel pity for me, look how hard this is for me, look how I can't handle this". But she could definitely hear.
Right?!? Covers her ears, yet she’s clearly making facial expressions;squinting etc as she reacts to the witnesses testimony 🤦🏼♀️
**COWARD**
Yes! That's the exact word that comes to mind whenever I see that ridiculous clip of her. This case sincerely makes my blood boil. Her parents seemed like great people. I sincerely believe they would have everything they could in order to support her all the way through the process with school. I went away to college on a swimming scholarship. After two years, I was exhausted, I just couldn't do it anymore. I took a break for a few years, got my cosmetology license, figured out I hated it, and finally came back to school with a fresh attitude and renewed excitement for learning. After I got my first degree, I transferred schools, during which time I was academically suspended/kicked out for a semester. I knew all along I had let everything school-wise get out of hand. I knew the quality of work and the grades I was receiving. Getting kicked out was not a surprise in the least, especially since the school did everything to prevent it as I knew they couldn't get my money if I flunked out. I hated having to humble myself and tell my parents I messed up and how much I could use their help and support. They weren't happy that I didn't say anything earlier, but they were there to help me jump through what seemed like 100s of hoops to get me back in. It was so much dang work/stress/tears to be reinstated... but I got through it and graduated with my second degree. I am beyond grateful I had my parents - and MOST parents and teachers want kids to be successful! While there are some bad parents out there, I don't believe for a second that Brenda wouldn't have moved mountains to help get Sidney back on track... if only Sidney gave them that opportunity. It is such a horribly unnecessary and selfish tragedy. Rest peacefully, Brenda 💔
@@Marsha-xl2cs 48:30
This reminds me so much of my own story. I went off to college, got caught up in the lifestyle and lost my scholarship. Rather than go home and face my mother and admit that I couldn’t handle it - I left the campus, lived in my car and showered at camp visitor centers and gyms for free. I eventually had my car break down and sold it for a bus ticket home. My mother already knew I wasn’t enrolled anymore and asked how my “vacation” was. I was meant to stay home after this, get a job and go to the community college where I was able to have some accountability. Going from high school to college - isn’t an easy transition but murder is HUGE mistake and an overreaction. I never once thought to kill my mother because of my failure to adjust.
Thank you for your honesty! So glad you did things the right way! Very proud of you!❤
Wow! It’s so crazy that you had the same story but with a very different outcome! Congratulations on learning how to face your problems!
I have a similar story, but it wasnt college that didnt work out but my whole life. I lost my boyfriend, apartment, pets, etc and I didnt want to go back home and admit it so I stayed homeless for a period of time. Murder never crossed my mind once.
I had a similar situation. I was kicked out due to low grades (didn’t go to class/depression/mono 🙄), but I told my mom even though it was really hard and embarrassing and she was really disappointed. But we both got over it, I got a job and moved on. That was ten years ago and now I’m comfortable in a full time job while taking online classes to complete my degree. Like I said, at the time I was so disappointed and mad and embarrassed at myself but I couldn’t imagine hurting my mother because of my own mistakes.
@@sasslexis0126 yes exactly, my mother was disappointed but she more so hurt that I would rather be “homeless” than to come back home and face the music. This was 14 years ago and while that wasn’t my path - I’ve found a new one and I am grateful and happy.
She was a victim of nothing. She could have moved off campus and taken community college classes. It could has cost less. Then she could transfer credits back to her college. She just wasnt getting her way, which by the way is called real life in the real world. Most likely she was extremely spoiled at home and expected to be extremely spoiled away from home for the rest of her life.
Yes. This girl is garbage
it too much right
I agree hence the fact they paid the insane amount of bond money to get her out.
I'll never believe somebody didn't see something going on with this girl.
@@annaelia9093people are good at hiding stuff. If they weren’t, everyone would know when someone is about to snap..
It's so creepy that there has become this "theme" of young adults lying to their parents and then committing murder when they get caught. Grant Amato, Chandler Halderson, Jennifer Pan, Sydney Powell...I shouldn't be able to name four off the top of my head. What is happening?!
I know, it's crazy.
Easy, you're watching too much true crime 😅
There are a lot of parents who expect the same level of success or better than they achieved, but don’t account for the reality that the economy is much worse than it used to be. The stakes are pretty high now. It’s a lot harder to compete for the few jobs that will allow you to buy a house and have a reasonable standard of living.
@@deathray252
That doesn't explain this situation, though. They were letting her live at home and were paying for her college themselves. It's not like they were even having her work through school. That is very much true with some parents, but it just doesn't apply to this case.
Parenting, no Consequences. And cell poisoning, untested vaccines and other meds. Pest sprays on food. Additives in food. 100 years worth.
She’s not insane, she had enough sense to pretend for months that she was still in school. This is another example of using mental health as a convenient excuse to avoid real life consequences. The only person I feel bad for is the mother of course.
Bc u know more than the doctors???
@@kshejohnson9207she paid her witnesses (doctors) to testify.
@@kshejohnson9207 It's obvious......and many of those doctors are easily fooled. There are prisoners who can act out any mental illness in the DM. They also pretend to have Multiple Personality Disorder. One FBI agent quipped he didn't care as long as he arrested the guilty one. These prison shrinks are very naive and easily fooled by psychopaths and sociopaths and they end up getting out on parole and kill again. I saw my ex husband, a sociopath narcissist fool a court ordered psychologist, a bunch of social workers, the childrens counsel and his own lawyer, a woman, whom he was shagging during our custody case. I saw nuns falling all over him at the nunnery where my children and I were in hiding but he got a court order to visit them there, this potential family annihilator. The nuns were falling all over him. But I won in the end as I had so much evidence against him. He not only lost the custody case his parental rights were terminated permanently. He never wanted our kids in the first place but used them as a weapon against me for leaving him. But until the bitter end, he had all these mental health professionals on his side and they didn't even try to hide their bias.
100%
@@kshejohnson9207People who have a psychotic break don't try to cover up their crime
It’s inconceivable that she killed a mother she was so close to. But the fact that she tried to come up with another story tells me that she wasn’t insane. She is guilty of murder.
that is why she is traumatized her mom from what I observed seemed to be quite controlling and seemed to track her every move which for being in college is weird.
@Sundaylamb3 Controlling? I mean you could be right, I didn't hear that but If that were the case, how could she go so long without her Mom finding out she was no longer in college?
Her father even said "it's okay if you need to take a semester or two off" He understood and I'm sure her mother did (or would have) as well! This is so sad!
Because your mom would. But Sydney has not even shared starting her period with her mom and that is very weird! Something was not working in their relationship. Why would she rather hide her failure in college and feel like she has to be a top student? That is a thinking of a child of an abusive, demanding parent. The dad looks loving though.
@@Julienna which is also super weird that Annie really emphasized they were BEST friends. Like why when clearly that wasn’t the case in the slightest. Idk why but it really bothered me that she overhyped their relationship
No to better help. They told me if the loss of memory bothered me I should quit CHEMO!
Ew how disgusting is that
Better help is definitely notorious for being problematic
Better help seems dangerous to young teens who are easily manipulated & mislead. Also to people who are not in the mental capacity to have common sense
@@Unchainedmelody151 you're right. If I wasn't a nurse and educated I could see a fragile chemo patient actually following that "advice "
Annie is just flogging advertisements these days without caring about what she’s promoting. Sick of these ads
The thing that stands out to me is that when police showed up she tried to say someone else attacked her mom and her mom told her to get out. To me that says she was not having a psychotic break if she was able to make up a lie to try to cover up her actions, and it also means she knew it was wrong.
Not that I think she was psychotic but people can have psychotic symptoms and still have their logic. Also someone with delusions might truly think that they were reacting to something that didn't actually happen. But at the end of the day it's still about whether she knew it was wrong in that moment
You don't seem to understand a psychotic break, 'she' may have seen and believed a 'certain' reality not shared by others, that's what happens.
Right I know. What I meant was that in terms of defense it's still whether she understood right from wrong when the crime was commited
She had MONTHS to tell her parents what was going on and chose not to. Why do people keep k1lling other people just to hide their secrets? Its beyond pathetic
Ikr? And then the secrets come out TO THE WHOLE WORLD and being a murderer instead of just immediate family. Smh jesus
Right? I was a sneaky little sh** when I was younger and when I got caught, I didn’t kill anyone, I just listened to the yelling of disappointment or took an a** whoopin like a normal person.
Watch the police interviews with her father and her friend at college. She was partying and getting drunk at the frat parties, and has completely destroyed her father. Alsi look at the photo of her walking into court with the family. Whole lot of stuff going on there, including proof if you needed it that the crying in court was totally for show.
Exactly. And her dad even gave her a way out when he suggested taking time off of school.
@@kathleenyoung9486 This: "... like a normal person" of yours made me laugh, which is not really the most usual thing. 😂
I wish better help would get BETTER HELP cuz some of those therapist stories ive heard are- unnerving, its as if the therapists dont actually have a licence
Glad you said something . There are a lot of people that have made videos about them
It’s so ridiculous that she acts like a freaking child throughout all of this. She’s a grown up and takes zero accountability for her actions. Smh
She’s young but she’s still an adult! They say oh your brain 🧠 is not done developing until you’re 25 but they never said that in 2006 when I graduated high school it was you’re 18 you’re an adult. Many people don’t realize college students are adults now. Young adults but still adults.
@@oooh19I hate when young ppl want the privilege of being an adult but not the accountability. Frankly, I don’t even think 21 year olds have enough life experience to be adults in the current times. They can barely handle their booze and a cellphone bill. There’s no reason they should have the privilege of voting or entering into contracts. I mean how many “adults” signed student loan contracts and now don’t want to be held to them?! Sorry Becky but you prob should’ve learned how to cuz hair because that biology bachelors ain’t gonna do squat when you don’t make it thru medical school and end up as a teacher. Then wonder how you end up with so much debt and so little to pay it. These “adults” are so naive.
@@tjtruth4793 Yet in NZ kids can leave school at 15 and get a job and a drivers license. They can even leave home if they are self supporting. They can drink at 18 if supervised by parents and can drink without them at 20 but most here start much younger. The age of consent is 16....we don't mollycoddle our kids but bring them up to be independent. Boys can cook and help around the house and do laundry and even sew and knot. They are self sufficient from a young age. I used to babysit at 13......
You can drink at 18 completely unsupervised and earlier with parental consent @Juanita-gf4te so our laws are even more lax than you initially described 😅
She definitely had an underlying hate for her mother knowing how many times she stabbed her. It really makes me wonder why she would feel that way about her mother? 🤯
👍
I know someone who was spoiled rotten by parents and never held accountable for actions and when not giving her way she hated them. Sometimes it's just a spoiled brat
@@CeciliaGonzalez-bi3yh this is not the case. She was not asking for anything, she felt like she must hide failing her studies. Why?
I am glad that you ask the question. What child would be afraid to talk openly about their struggles with a loving mom? With a bestie... how she was described by Anna. I doubt her mother was her bestie. Something smells off about the relationship. Also, it was mentioned somewhere else, that Sydney has not even shared starting her first period with her mom, she just started using her pads. If this is true, then it was NOT a good close relationship between them. I smell a very strict, controlling mother. (Of course, I disagree with what Sydney did to her.)
@Julienna I mean that's an assumption or opinion. Her dad would of known if she was abused or not? The family hasn't said anything about it have they?
Could you even imagine having a child grow up and turn out
to be your murderer?! And all over college my oldest went 4 years it was his choice not mine
I wasn't the kind of parent that pressured my kids anyway. Unbelievable!
She was NOT BFF's with her Mother! Very sad, sad story.
Well, she doesn’t have to worry about grades now. Or a place to live.
15 years for murder seems pretty lenient if they are not accepting an insanity plea. I wonder what she would have got if she stsbbed her Mum in their trailer in Appalachia?
Or social life 😂
She wanted to be a sorority girl and now she gets the next best thing! Matching outfits, a giant prison full of other women, a cook.
Lol
She had 3 months, 90 days to tell her parents the truth. Matter of fact she didn’t even have to tell them she failed. She could have told them hey, I’m moving home I don’t like it here anymore, I don’t want to go to college anymore and took a different path. There were so many other options here than violence.
What blows my mind is all these kids killing their parents…seems like the parents would have been willing to help them. Not in one of these stories did it seem like they didn’t have their family to go home to and reevaluate the situation. They aren’t doing it because of how the family treats them but how they feel about themselves. It’s disgusting!
Exactly, pointed it out to my mom. Be careful, the new trend isn't looking good. Kids are also trying to get parents arrested

It’s actually shocking how many of my favorite UA-camrs are still partnering with Better Help. Please, look more into their history and decide if you still want to partner with them.
Amen for real one google search would've told you all you need to know she's clearly not researching her sponsors
They know that Better Help is problematic, they just don't care because at the end of the day all these UA-camrs want the money. Don't let them fool you into thinking that they would continue making videos if they weren't getting paid.
The fact you welcome your new neighbors with a candle is so precious and sweet. We live in a day and age where people dont even acknowledge their new neighbors let alone make them feel welcome. Youre a sweetheart ❤
My newborn just got out of NICU and came home and he’s such a fan of your voice it’s the only time he calms down when he’s gassy. I think he heard your voice in my tummy so much it reminds him of being inside me. Thank you!!!
Congratulations on your new baby🎉
Aww god bless girl! Cheers to motherhood and hope little one grows into a beautiful man.
This is adorable 😭 congrats!
😢 That’s super sweet. Congrats on the little guy!
Annie, because of your intentions and style of speaking, you really do humanize the victims. I kind of feel like I get to know them.
It’s like some of us do stupid things when we drink too much and then you have these narcissistic people that do horrendous things stone sober and then fight like hell to portray their innocence, so so so evil and twisted.GOD help us🙏🌟💕
I never understood how "insanity" is even a qualifying defense. If a person is capable of snapping in any instance and comitting murder, in this case brutally murdering their own mother, shouldnt that serve as further evidence they should not be roaming free in society?
If she “didn’t remember it” then why would she have told the police after that a person came into the home???
Bc she was in a psychotic state.... Like the Dr said
@@kshejohnson9207 She also pretended to be her Mother immediately afterwards, which would require awareness of the situation and manipulative behaviour. Then after, in the call when she heard the police were coming, she decided to stage the scene and lie about an intruder. Finally she then changed her behaviour when police arrived, all in support of a narrative.
Girl I love your channel but please research your sponsors, better help has been in a lot of hot water. Otherwise congrats on the ongoing growth of Serialously! So stoked for you
Better help has been great for people I know personally... Bh did have some issues in the beginning, but they are amazing now.
I was gonna say the same thing!
What did they do?
@@silentfriend369
I think the issues with better help are how they treat their employees, not their services. I could be wrong, though.
Thank you for saying this. I pointed this out about Bloom too. These two companies are the bottom of the barrel for ethical companies.
They coddled and spoiled her all the way to the end. When a child doesn’t learn how to fail, or be told no, or learn that they can’t be the best at everything creates these kinds of humans. Justice for Brenda. 💔
I had a similar experience to Sydney in university. Solid A grade student all through high school then started flunking in uni 8 hours away from home. I felt like a giant failure and that my mom would make me move back to my hometown (which I really didn’t want to) if I told her the truth. It was really hard and it took getting stress induced alopecia on my head to tell my mom but ended up telling her, took a year off and worked, then went back to school for something completely different. Thank god I found my calling and am doing great in my field now. I’m sure Sydney would’ve too had she been able to tell her parents. What she did is unbelievable, never once did I think about hurting my mom. Sad
My story is _very_ similar. It seems from this comment section, it’s much more common than I ever expected. ❤
You should NOT feel stressed about being honest with your mom. Just like Sydney should have not felt like she had to hide it. That is not a good relationship. And you even lost your hair because of it! Talking to a mom should not feel like anxiety. Feeling like a giant failure - that feeling is taught, not natural. It is life, we succeed and we fail. Your mom must have been hyper critical with you. Which I feel sorry for you. Mom should feel like a support and understanding, especially if it is something small (yes, it is) like that. You did not steal, kill, or beat somebody. It was just not the right school for you.

EXACTLY;why couldn't she just talk to her parents honestly from the beginning when she wasn't doing well in school. To go so far in everything she did is just crazy;not crazy to escape punishment though
Yeah, I don't get it. I did the samething in my 1st year of Uni, I skipped so many classes. but I did not kill my parents. Just told them I was quitting and wanted something shorter. They were fine with it. It's not that hard to communicate that. Not everyone is made for college life.
@@Amiwa3 This is exactly what I can't understand, because I was in similar position at my Uni. In parallel, I studied languages (3rd year) and in process of graduation from ballet school to become a Principal (professional ballerina). At one point everything became too much for me and I had to slow down with my language studies. I admit that it was endlessly difficult for me to decide to travel home (from one side of Europe, to a completely different European country), so that I could talk with my parents and explain the situation so that we could find the best solution together. I just can't imagine that instead of planning conversations regarding my future life and my own career, I have spent that time planning how to kill my own parents, that I love endlessly, just to get out of that abnormal act with impunity. Such a big and completely unimaginable thing couldn't even occur to me, because my brain does not function in such a way, that I would come up with the idea for an act that is so brutal, final and absolutely unjustifiably unforgivable. So I think maybe there was something really wrong with her, and maybe there was some previously undetermined mental illness or disorder?! That whole thing is so unimaginable for me
Yea the people from the school should ahve called when they went to that dorm and found her living there months later even if she insisted that they not call ,then the mother would of known right there with Sidney with them instead of at home
I will never understand how someone could think MURDER is a better option than just coming out with the truth and asking for help... it makes me question just how close they actually were...
I can't believe that her family stands by her so much. Like Brenda's own parents have Sydney's back. It's nuts to me.
I work at Mount Union. 😬 my supervisor was there when this happened and use to talk to Sydney every day. She said she never knew she was capable of what she did to Brenda
it sucks to have to pay yt to not have commercials then have content creators that do numerous ad's during their video
That’s how content creators make most of their money. YT pays very little for views.
I feel you! I understand that content creators have to get paid and we’re getting this content for “free” (although, like you I too pay for YT premium). However, this channel has ad breaks that seem to last way too long. I just end up skipping through them.
She answered to call from her dad AND answered the school pretending to be her mom. She knew what she was doing.
Justice was not served. She seems like a coddled spoiled brat
Exactly. I have a friend who has spoiled her 7 y/o daughter BEYOND belief. I mean, this child runs the house and does what she wants! She is homeschooled, so she never has to go to bed or get up at any certain time. Just whenever she wants. The girl curses at home like a truck driver. Her mom let's her bc she thinks it's funny. She won't allow her to cuss out in public or around certain people but is free to at some times. The child is a master manipulator and gets exactly what she wants, when she wants it. I'd almost be impressed if it weren't so pathetic. She wears makeup and dresses herself. This normally is a common thing with little girls but her mom let's her go out in public like this! She's an beautiful child with gorgeous long curly hair. However, she pitches a holy conniption fit if anyone tries to brush her hair, so it generally looks like a wild rats nest! Literally. Her parents have a nice big 4 bedroom home and damn near every room is jam packed with this child's shit! Clothes, shoes, toys, Squishmellows, etc. Obviously this child is never told no, never disciplined and never has any chores. She is also never made to suffer the consequences of her own actions. I have tried to tell my friend that she is creating an enormous monster from the 7th circle of HELL. I could be wrong but I envision them having massive problems with this child in the near future. Will she murder her mother? Probably not because she doesn't appear to have any severe mental illnesses or aggressive/violence tendencies. She can actually be a sweet and loving child at times. However, I shudder to think what all of this coddling, spoiling and sheltering her will do long-term.
Parenting is NOT easy and it's ugly at times. Why people have kids if they're not willing to do the work is beyond me.
YES!!!.I entirely agree and a victim mentality to boot..disgusting x
Agreed

I went through something similar my first year of college. I was a 4.0 student all through high school. My first semester of college started out good but then I got approached by an MLM group and they completely took advantage of my naivety. They used cult-tactics and love bombing and I was convinced I would do that instead of school. But I couldn’t just quit- my parents wouldn’t understand. I was so distracted and consumed by this new thing and the people that my grades started to drop. I couldn’t get it together and eventually was failing. I was so embarrassed that I avoided the subject at all costs with my family. But eventually I had to come clean at the end of my second semester. Of course I never once thought of committing a crime to keep it a secret though. Them finding out was inevitable and I knew that I would have to face those consequences. Sad to say, it took me 14 years to get away from that group. It was all consuming. They really controlled how I lived my life. It’s painful to look back on. I would love to see you do a deep dive into the cult-tactics used my MLM groups and the damage they cause. It really is crazy how much they control people and hurt families.
I'm so sorry that you were taken advantage of. Would you mind sharing the name of the MLM? I had a pretty similar experience after I had my son. They really take advantage of those who need help, and need a community.
So sorry for what you went through, BTW WHAT is a an MLM cult?? I've never he a rd that term 😊
@@timothy2935 it’s also more commonly referred to as a “pyramid scheme” which according to Wikipedia is “A business model which earns primarily by enrolling others into the scheme, however rather than earning income (or providing returns-on-investments) by sale of legitimate products to an end consumer, it mainly earns by recruiting new members with the promise of payments (or services).” It’s very common I just recently had a girl approach me at church. I thought she wanted to be my friend but I realized after a few meetings with her that she was trying to get me to invest into this random company I never heard of under the guise of “business mentorship”.
You need to do a deep dive into how awful BetterHelp is. Do some reasearch about you own sponsor...
Yeah...
Agreed
YEA! I think it’s so odd we commercialized therapy the way we have. Idk everyone has them as a sponsor but I don’t know one person who truly uses it.
Hi! Can you please elaborate or just give some resources? We have a similar platform I guess it was based on BetterHelp here in Russia that I use, and I want to avoid trouble....
@@olya8552 look up better help in the UA-cam search bars and there will be a large amount of videos for you to watch and learn about their practices.
My daughter is in college and is Very type A. She stresses all the time between full time school, work, sorority, etc. She calls me to vent all the time. I've always told her we don't expect straight A's in college as long as you keep the 3.2. We get Tudors, told her talk to her professors and she studies with friends. College IS hard, but you have to go knowing you'll need help and how to ask for it. We told her before she left, you're gonna fail, fall, lose, and cry...but you gotta get back up. This is really sad because it seems like she had caring, involved parents. Doesn't seem like they would have demanded perfection but who knows. So sad she couldn't just be vulnerable with everyone who could help
You never really know what is going on behind closed doors, unless you are let in……a lot of times it’s way different than you imagined……😳😢
Annie, learning that you greeted your neighbors with candles is so heartwarming 💛 I'll welcome people with a loaf of fresh homemade sourdough. 😊
😂
Really thought it was an amazing idea because I can cook but I am always unsure about dietary preferences of other people.
I’d like to be your neighbor lol
@@awestavalentina4454 what's so funny?
Something like this I did I was in cosmetology school & my parents were writing the checks & they left messages on my parents phones saying I wasn’t showing up. My parents were extremely strict when it came to school & I was living at home with my boyfriend & I was pregnant. I tried avoiding them but I just had to suck it up & tell them. They were more understanding than I could’ve ever imagined. My daughter is 11 now & I went back & graduated. We have the best relationship with my parents
sorry but when the dean and that lady called back and Sydney tried to pretend she was her mother, that proves she knew exactly what she was doing.. she was trying to buy herself time.
I have heard this story before, but as usual, Annie does a great job covering it. Bravo!
Girl, I love your channel. Truly respect what your doing. A little tip, see if you can move your sponsors to the begining or end. It feels really icky stopping in the middle of a horrific true crime w real victims. Thx for your work!
I was looking forward to your next case. Thank you for working so hard to find these cases. You have such a talent in this.
I love this channel but "working so hard to find these cases"? This case just showed up on another channel i follow. Just follow 48 hrs, true crime, law and crime network and 3 random crime channel and you will realize what a circle jerk this is. Most of these true crime channels are following each other and putting out the same cases. I appreciate that this channel tries to go more in-depth but finding these cases is actually the easy part.
One of the few ive come across doing something different is the lady doing medical malpractice crimes, rotten mango/stephanie who covers asian crimes and the misery machine (if you're not aware of them, don't go looking. Nightmare fuel)
@@tropistan7735 do you feel better? I am so sorry that you do so much better than this channel. Go watch your other ones. I do, in fact follow misery machine and I am grateful for their work too. If you think you can do better, go make your own channel and leave Annie alone. She actually does older cases too. If you watch this site often you would know that she does a lot more cases than just current ones. Followers ask her to do old cases in their areas that haven’t been acknowledged by news or internet sites. She does cases that she doesn’t want to but people ask her to. She works hard and I am very grateful for her work and her telling of the story.
@@tropistan7735 I am sorry that you feel that way. I hope you enjoy your other channels.
As others have pointed out, I agree that you should rethink your partnership with Better Help. Your content is awesome
There are so many stories like this where the person is living this outrageous lie and then thinks murder will solve the problem. The Brent Ryan case from Canada is like that, but his web of lies is absolutely insanity. and also Chandler Halderson was a similar case. I don't know why they think this "solution " would ever work
And Jennifer Pan
She's guilty.
She knew enough to try to cover up what she did.
Agreed, a murderer or alleged murderer should not be allowed to leave courtroom when crying. The jurors, attnys, judge etc are required to remain in the courtroom.
Thanks for covering this story! Haven't seen much about it.
Schizophrenia often presents during college years, young adulthood with hallucinations, hearing voices, and delusions. I have experience with this as it happened to my daughter. She could switch seamlessly between full on psychotic episodes and behaviors described as normal. She took her life in a mental facility as my husband and I fought the California legal system to become her legal guardian. My heart breaks for this family, mental health disorders are challenging to diagnose, challenging to treat, especially schizophrenia, as the patient is un aware of their deteriorating mental state.
As the mother of a son who has Schizophrenia, my heart breaks for you. People who haven't experienced it do not understand. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss and may your daughter rest in peace
Thank you for the kind words
Donna, I am so so sorry for your loss. Mental illness is so overlooked and not taken as seriously as it should be. I don't have schizophrenia, but I do suffer my own mental illnesses. The stigma is astounding. There's also so much to learn yet. Sending *hugs*.
A friend of mine is going through this now. Unfortunately, the systems in place to care for them are not very helpful. It’s a very complex illness, and they can get easily triggered by stress of any kind.
I just really like to watch you rather then just listening podcast ! I love how far you have come!!
This hits so close to home for me because there was a very similar situation with my brother, minus the murder part. He was a straight a student through high school and college, where he was double majored and graduated a year early. He decided to go to law school, and had aspirations of getting into politics. However, he failed out of law school during his first semester. He just couldn’t handle the course load, even though he had always been such a good student. But he didn’t tell anyone. He just started acting withdrawn and being very hard to get ahold of. at Christmas, he kept finding ways to make himself busy so he could dodge questions from well-meaning family members that were excited to hear about law school. She had been living in graduate student housing on campus, and because I only lived a few miles away in the same town, I would meet him on campus sometimes. One day, I showed up unannounced with a coffee for him and called him to tell him I was outside his building. He absolutely flipped out and then rushed over to campus and yelled at me for invading his personal space. Fast forward a few months, and I get an angry phone call from my mother, who was screaming at me and telling me what a horrible sister I am, and I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. I’m not sure how, but somehow my mom found out that he had left school and he was so ashamed to tell anyone, so he had been living in his car for months. He had a nine dollar membership to planet fitness, where he would go to shower. It was summertime, so he would spend all of the hot parts of the day whenever he wasn’t working, hanging out at the library or stores to get into the air-conditioning. Apparently, he told my mom that I had known, and that I wouldn’t help him, which was absolutely false. I had no earthly idea that any of that had happened, and I certainly would have let him stay with me if I had known. My husband and I had a very small two bedroom condo at the time, so it would have been a tight squeeze, but I never would have let my own brother go homeless. Shame is a very strong motivator for some people to lie and keep secrets.
I do believe that a psychotic break is certainly possible. A schizophrenia diagnosis too. But like the prosecution said, that doesn't necessarily absolve you of your actions. And I think that's an important distinction to make in cases like these.
Good morning everyone, you are the best true crime UA-camr ever!! Much love from Colorado!! P.S. I pray everyone is having an amazing day, I had surgery yesterday so today is gonna be a little bit rough but I’m happy to be alive!! ❤

Thank you for this video, Annie. You are a huge part of me and my sissy's life! We watch your videos and listen to your podcasts together. Would you cover the Alianna Defreeze case, please, and thank you.
So messed up that she would think murdering her mom would be better than just being honest with her parents.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL I REWATCH YOUR VIDEOS TO FALL ASLEEP!! I feel like something is wrong with me if I find your true crime videos soothing enough to fall asleep watching LITERALLY DAILY!!!!!!!!
In the same! Her voice is just so calming! I also have her videos playing in the background while I work …❤
You’re not alone lol!!!! 😂😂😂
You’re all sooooo quirky and interesting
Love doesn't just switch off. You can support without condoning their actions. I have a friend who had a son driving drunk and killed his brother. That family struggles hard but have stood by the surviving son. That's unconditional love.
That's so different. The other son most likely is guilt ridden himself and while his choice to drive was negligent he never would have done it had he known the outcome. She knew the outcome of stabbing her mother to death. It's so disgusting.
The fact the family asked her to not be held accountable by law is insane. The public deserves to be protected from people who have the ability to kill esp from a little stress. Makes you wonder if they ignored red flags with her all along, and just expect the rest of us to enable bad behavior.
We are raising a generation of heartless narcissistic young adults that have no fear of consequences, nor consciousness.
Agreed, absolutely! They have no love or fear for God either.
@@charliemike13 right - no God, no punishment in the long run

SHE had a bad week? Can you imagine what her poor father had gone through? From talking to her school, finding out she had been lying to him, then she kills his wife on the same day, then she's arrested. Then he has to cough up a quarter of a million dollars to get her out??? But in truth, I think it would be hard to believe that your daughter was capable of doing something like this, and maybe there was some thread of hope thinking well maybe she didn't do it. I think she totally freaked out knowing the jig was up and reacted.
Her mother will never have a bad or good week no more 😢 RIP ANGEL 🖤🤍♥️🙏
I really like your approach to presenting these cases - thanks for bringing these cases to us in the way you do :)
The way the family stood by her was truly strange imo.
Wow you look absolutely beautiful in this episode Annie ❤ you always do these cases with absolutely care!! I appreciate you so much!!
Every time someone murders somebody they always remember things they did their whole life and never had any mental health issues but when it comes to killing someone all of a sudden they cant remember anything it was all a blackout and now they have all kinds of mental problems..its the same thing with every killer. Sickening!
Annie, I agree with you. The conversation dialogue makes one realise that these are not just statistics and you help us remember that. We need to remember people who lose their lives because of people who do evil things, for whatever reason. So sad for the person and for their families. Bless them. I wish there were not this many cases. Cheers Elizabeth (Australia)
If someone suddenly can’t see something they need to call their doctor or go to the hospital…
Good morning, Annie! You look stunning today! I'm excited to start this video, clicked immediately! Thanks for all of your hard work.
Thank you for today's video. It got my mind off things for a while, and it helped a lot ❤
Even if she had a "mental breakdown" she deserves to be charged.
We’ve heard this crime many times before. When the lies are brought into the light and are confronted…
She did this on purpose. Cold blooded ungreatfull girl. She knew what she was doing. The phone calls- not speaking, then hanging up the phone picking up and her impersonating her mother. She had clear thought of mind, quickly thinking of ways to cover up and still thinking of ways to get out of it.
It's really scary to think that this girl will be out on the streets again in 15 years.
Im paying to not waste time advertising but some how im punished
Same here, at least we can skip through these. Some channels I follow get the ads out of the way at the beginning or wait and do them at the end. But interrupting twice during the show is super annoying.
We are blessed to complain about sponsored ads in videos :)
@@silentfriend369I hate ads but at least put them at the start or near the end of the video. Not halfway through.
@silentfriend369 well I'm paying for not being blessed with ads and still being penalised 😅
As the wife of a therapist, this sounds like a real manic episode. Also coming from having a crazy grandma, they didn’t know she was crazy for years but as a child, I knew right away. I think they are now realizing signs they missed.
Maybe she was so used to "killing it" that she did break at the thought of her failing. Her mom, trying to discuss it with her, made it real, and she wanted to shut up and stop any mention of her failing. ?
When I was 17 I started my first semester at a community college. Soon enough, I became extremely overwhelmed and I failed out of most of my classes. Instead of talking to my parents, I was too embarrassed and thought if I could just figure out a way to tell them. I continued to go onto the campus, napping in my car and hanging out with friends in between their classes. One day, I gathered up a few things and a bit of cash and bought a bus ticket out of town. I ran away from home because I couldn’t face what I did and how much of a failure I was. I understand every feeling she must have been feeling. Aside from wanting to harm the people who loved and supported me the most. I don’t think I could ever cross that line. Murder cannot solve your problems.
Thanks for reading! Love your channel, Annie!
Sorry ahead of time for the wall of text, but I wanted to share a little bit about my experience.
I feel zero sympathy over her killing her mother. But it makes me a little sick how similar her story is to mine. Same timeline and everything (minus the killing). I had developed bipolar disorder senior year of high school, but I didn't know it yet. By college it was a struggle to do anything. I had succeeded my entire life. I was in a special scholars group at my university--only 100 of us got chosen and we got to live in the fancy new dorms and choose advanced classes if we chose to, even as freshman.
End of first semester I got several Cs and one D. I was crushed. I had never gotten anything lower than a B. And a B was rare for me. By the end of spring semester I was put on academic probation. Beginning of my sophomore year in the fall, my advisor recommended I see the school's counseling service. They diagnosed me with bipolar disorder, but it was too late. I was expelled at the end of fall and lost the psychiatric services as well, so my life just continued to spiral down.
I didn't tell my parents. I was a failure and I was so deeply embarrassed. I continued to lie for several years. I didn't pretend I was going to the same school. I told them I was going to take some classes at a community college to take a break. But because I lost psychiatric services, I was no longer medicated properly and I basically 'failed' those classes, too. Never an F but never anything above a C. But after succeeding so highly my entire life, I was deeply afraid to admit to my parents that I was indeed a failure and I hadn't lived up to their expectations. My parents are wonderful, but I was still scared and ashamed. I never would have even thought about hurting them, though, and that's where our stories diverge.
RIP to her wonderful mother. She seemed so lovely and sweet. I believe this girl is mentally ill, but I believe she is where she belongs. There are consequences to actions--even if those actions are done while mentally ill. It's just so sad for the whole family to have lost that wonderful woman.
Thank you for sharing. I agree that untreated trauma caused me to do really bad in college too. Similar story. I was so disturbed when my parents found out😭 But also I didn’t harm anyone but myself. Drinking drugs and the like. Eventually I got treatment for depression and eventuality healing for the trauma. Went on to nursing school and had an amazing career and really cared for my pts bc of my own earlier struggles.
God bless you❤️
I've seen a couple docs about this already. It sounds like the parents were up this kid's ass.
Seriously.. the dad has a tracker on his daughter's phone and rushes home when he sees her going there. WTF?!
Some of those first pictures of Sydney reminded me of Gypsy rose after her nose job.I wasn’t even thinking of Gypsy and thought wow this looks similar to Gypsy. I’m barely in the beginning of the video but from the tiny bit I know so far, what this girl did to her mother, who just loved her dearly is just so heartbreaking :( this poor woman
We can never know what their relationship was truly like.
I saw the similarity too!
@@twatts1523 I meant the physical similarities

Annie, You have totally met your goal. I watch you, and have become a sub because of the way you talk and your vibe! ❤❤❤
Dont work with better help. They are in a lawsuit for selling patient data
Including health information
SO many reasons to not work with better help
I love you and 10 to Life!! You don't know how you've helped me, seriously. You're hair looks amazing....what products make it so shiny!?
Better Help really 🤔 why
Wild guess but $$
Hi Annelise love your videos!!! I always put you on when I’m watching dishes or putting my makeup 😊 I’ve recommended your videos to all my friends now we are all hooked to your videos! God bless you
Until you personally know someone who goes through a psychotic break, you won't understand. They are literally someone else during the break, occupying the body of your loved one. She was a straight A student before this ruined her life.
Actually, she was not a straight-A student: she flunked out. And didn't take advantage of the help that was offered.
We don't know that she had a "psychotic break". The prosecution's expert witness points out we know nothing about Sydney's mental condition at the time of the event, aside from what Sydney has reported. Any reality is lost in Sydney's lies and her obvious malingering.
In a true psychotic break, you literally don't know wth ur doing or why. And no matter how hard you try, u Can't remember. Idc how many times ur asked, u Can't remember. Your mind is quite literally fractured/broken. She snapped for sure, but her mind wasn't broken. Just my 2 cents.
When you attempt to cover it up or stage things, that's the deal breaker in knowing you knew right from wrong....
I understand you have sponsors, but DAMN
Honestly Annie, I have an adult daughter who had mental health issues and drug addiction. It tore our family apart. i had to set boundaries, but lots of heart wrenching decisions.. It is rough when it is your own child.
Thank you!!!!!!! This is wild 😵💫
Love when I catch your videos right away.... At work doing some housekeeping can't think of anything better to listen too. T.Y. for the effort you put into these episodes❤
This really baffled me when I first heard it. Still does.
i feel bad for her & her family. poor mum. what a tragic ending for something so insignificant, the daughter looks remorseful as if she can’t believe what she has done to herself & family :/
