#TrueCrime #KendallRae #Reuschel
After divorcing his wife of 20+ years, Mike Reuschel met another woman named Sue, and they quickly hit it off. They got married, and together, they enjoyed the finer things in life: luxury cars, traveling, and more. But when Mike's daughter from his first marriage had a wedding of her own... Well, that didn't go over so well with Sue. The wedding, which was estimated to cost $100,000, went over budget by a LOT, and Sue was not happy about it. So much so that their marriage started to crumble. After taking some time apart, Mike and Sue tried to rekindle things, but Sue just could not get over how much her husband spent on his daughter's wedding. The same night they got into this fight, Sue ended up with several stab wounds, almost ending her life. So, who was responsible for this attack? Was it Mike who first attacked Sue? Or Sue, who first attacked Mike?

If you marry someone that hates your children, you are a bad parent. Point blank period.
💯 💯
The "child" was an adult
@@rosa104And? Child or adult if you marry someone who hates your son or daughter you have serious problems as a parent
My first thought
@@rosa104"child" doesn't just mean someone under 18... if you are your parents child, that means you're the offspring. stop with the dumb comment
Not to state the obvious, but if you're considering marrying someone and they have an issue with something you cannot change (ie: your children, your ex, your past, child support payments, etc) don't marry them. It won't get better.
So true!!
True! or just don't marry anyone, period. more problems come after you're married
So easy to be wise after the act. Obviously at first this wasn’t an issue!
@@ricola0131Not if you marry the right person for you, a good person. Marriage is really beautiful when it’s done right.
Discussing finances is a normal part of marriage...
Two things can be true. She can be a toxic terrible person, and he is guilty. I saw this case on 48 hours, and definitely think he did it, while also believeing she is awful. I think the right outcome happened here.
Do you know what episode or season? I’d love to watch it when I get off work
Right?! The 48 hours version really shows how fake and full of bullshit the daughter Caroline is too! Constant fake crying, sheesh
I think I agree. The 4 hour deliberation? The shady doctor expert? While she really seems like one of those bad borderline personalities he may be guilty here. Strange stories and timelines on both sides. He should have just stayed married to DeeDee ;)
Yep, he thought he upgraded. Silly old man.
That's true, someone can be angry, toxic and have a really bad temper that would cause them to throw things and hit someone, doesn't mean they would go as far as stabbing someone or trying to kill them and someone who has never laid a finger on anyone before can always snap, especially when there is money involved. She sounds like an awful person, but to me, it sounds like he did do it.
The whole "we had the best conversation of our marriage" thing leads me to believe that he was having a psychotic break, and knowing she was about to die, Sue just told him everything she thought he wanted to hear in order to convince him to call 911 and save her life.
edit: spelling
That was where I felt his crazy came out too.
Personally I think that detail makes sense. Post adrenaline rush, maybe while thinking you’re still going to die so things feel surreal, people say and do some weird things. Not just “crazy” people.
Maybe it was that, and also combined with the fact that at a certain point she told him what he wanted to hear. She said that after a while she told him she loved him and didn’t want to divorce in order to survive. Maybe that fed into his delusion that they were actually having a pleasant conversation.
I think this too but also think it had something to do with the amount of blood she lost it was probably very deep since she thought she was gonna die
Mind blowing that a parent would allow someone so close to them to talk so much shit about their kid.
Who said he let her? He can’t control what comes out of her mouth. That’s why they fought so much because he would defend her.
@leannefrost.4006 FACTS 🎯, she would've BEEN gone up outta here for repeatedly disrespecting my little girl...so fast her head would still be spinning 💯💯💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
@@jackiechun5817I agree!
theres other interviews, I also think the daughter is a bxtch, the women is toxic but i think he did try and kill her.
@@jackiechun5817I agree girl❤
I can’t believe someone thinks they have the right to say how someone can spend their own money ESPECIALLY when it’s his own daughter’s wedding?? he’s a multi millionaire what does she have to do with it?
That’s what I’m saying. 250,000 is nothing for a millionaire
She probably had big plans for his money and didn’t like seeing big chunks not spent on her. She obviously married him for his money.
Very sorry he ever met her
That’s how being married works. His money is her money. Before placing judgement I’d go listen to his sociopathic daughter give interviews.
@@islandthrifts809can u recommend a good one? I also think something is not shown to public in this story.
The fact that there is 90,000 requests is another reminder of how sad and evil this world is 😢
Requests for what? I missed something. Thx
@@bg9509Cases ppl sent to her to cover
@@bg9509 Cases requested by viewers through the form Kendall offers. Sad indeed as @realdeals1 said
Yeah what?
@@bg9509requests for cases to be covered
Two things can be true at the same time: she clearly wasn't/ isn't a stand-up human being, clearly showed abusive behaviour in the relationship, clearly *herself* had boundary/ jealousy/ attachment issues given the problems she had with his daughter. He also clearly stabbed her.
^this is it
Even though Sue is a crazy controlling wife, Mike snapped and is totally guilty. That’s why prenups exist!
But it said she tried to divorce in the past. So what makes this time different?
@@meghanandal3248and she’s the one who cares about the money, not him.
@@meghanandal3248 I don't think him snapping was about her asking for a divorce or about money.
I think it was just that she was a toxic person who was, at the least, mentally and verbally abusive, and that's what made him snap. The asking for a divorce was kind of just incidental.
However, I think he definitely did do it. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Sue being abusive and Mike stabbing her are not mutually exclusive.
Just look at how many situations there are where the genders are reversed, with the man being the abuser, and it eventually ends with the woman killing him.
@@jennasmith9115 No motive?
You mean besides the abuse?
There are plenty of cases where a DV victim ends up murdering their abusive spouse because the abuse messes them up so much that they don't see just leaving as an option. This is another one of them.
The idea that he just happened to find her sitting in the guest room with a knife makes no damn sense, nor does the idea that she abruptly slit her wrist after he'd already called 9-1-1, or that they were planning vacations for 3 hours while she had a stab wound!
It's obvious that he did try to kill her, probably because he snapped due to the ongoing mental torture she was putting him through, but then backed out when she didn't die quickly.
@@jennasmith9115 thinking someone could stab themselves like that that many times is just ridiculous, snap back to reality
This was obviously a case of mutual abuse. They both brought out the worst of each other, and it ended exactly like that.
there is very much such a thing as mutual abuse. from experience.
@@vickydablicky no, abuse has to have a power dynamic. There can be reactionary abuse
@@dtulip58nah I’ve been in a mutually abusive relationship and we were both toxic af to each other
@@heathernikki5734 rip
That's what I was thinking. The stories don't add up because they were both guilty. I'm betting she tried to stab him and got overpowered. They went in on each other, and both lied to cover themselves... smh so much simpler to just divorce. Not like they didn't have the money to 🙄
I hate when people say “well, he’s never been violent before” even if it’s true it doesn’t mean a thing! He’s guilty.
@BondJames-vz5wk They know. The point being made is you hear of people committing insane/violent crimes and friends, family, and coworkers are adamant they couldn't have done it, but they did. Sometimes, people are good at hiding what they're capable of. It's important to hear what people who know them say, but it's far more important to look at facts.
Exactly!! My ex used to say “you know I’d never hurt you” and I’m like but …you did …… people do things that are “out of character”, nobody’s personality is written in stone!!
All it takes is "one final straw" for someone to snap. Just because they haven't before, doesn't mean they won't
Hm I don’t know, she’s been violent, she’s the one money hungry and angry about money, she’s seems like the type of person who would harm themselves to make it seem like an attack (and this exact thing has happened before)
@@astrowolvez I don't know man, those were some SERIOUS wounds.
Before looking into the sp*nsor for the video, please do research. They are not reputable and have had serious controversies in the past, some as serious as breach of ethics resulting in fines. It’s a c*mpany you should avoid. Disappointed to say the least
Kendall knows, she just doesn’t care
@@boobertthescoopert This is for anyone considering using it
Yea, I'm done
I think she knows but is locked into some sort of deal 🤔
@@Verydeadbarbie You’re probably correct, but it’s a deal she should have turned down from the start imo
I told one girlfriend not force me to choose between her or my children... because, "You will loose every time." She moved out after that.
It is very good for her, she can find man which will have family a d kids with her, instaed claiming that he is done with kids I. His life, bacuse he has one set, and she should not have any... Becuse he decided so.
@@elizagreen736
I don’t think that’s what he said. He didn’t say he didn’t want any more kids, he said to her to not force him to choose between her and the kids he already has.
I respect you and agree with this 100%! I've been with my husband 13 years. When we first dated, I told him he has to be okay with being second because my kids will always be first. This lady was clearly a witch and jealous of his child. He still married her, and she caused him to snap.
good on you
She got lucky to get away.
How much research did u do on better help 🤔
right lmao?
The top comment about it was deleted too… sus
She probably has a contract with him where she legally hast to do a certain amount of ad reads. It's very common for UA-camrs and podcasts to do that
probably none
I've been saying this for months. There's been a few things that make me think they either don't research shit or they don't care. Their reddit is actually full of people with legitimate criticism but they just brush it off as haters
I wanted to like better help but I’m one of the many people who didn’t have a good experience with it
Did you find the help you needed somewhere else ?
And the top comment showing concern was deleted… not a good look 🥴
@@pri.sci.lla. omg youre right
@@pri.sci.lla.that’s what I just said. There’s a couple other comments that were deleted too
I’m confused about this. What was deleted?
So he divorces his wife and mother of his children to "focus on work and travelling" (what an awful reason in the first place), only to go on a dating app only weeks to months later and move his new girlfriend into the family home? Yeah, sorry but to me he doesn't sound like a decent guy at all. Just my two cents.
It seemed odd to me too. His first wife wanted to stay married but he loved his work more.....what does that say when a new woman DOES get him to switch his priorities?!?! If he had done that to begin with, this all would have never happened. Perhaps that is haunting him now, whether he is guilty or not of attempted murder.
This is the part that has me thinking! If he'd been divorced before, what made him flip out about this particular divorce? All relationships are obviously different, & maybe there were differences in prenups, financial situations, or otherwise. But definitely something that caused me to wonder why threatening divorce was such an indisputable motive...
@@AlexandriaCapri Because he married a woman who is just as looney and selfish as he is. They were two peas in a pod. Lovers of themselves and money.
@@user-jy3zl2vp4bIt says that the woman was a manipulative gold digger...that's what it says!
@@AlexandriaCapri psych degree here ☺️ it actually does make sense and isn’t odd at all. After a divorce, (his first one), it’s EXTREMELY common for people to feel depressed and alone. It’s not surprising or odd that he moved on as fast as he did and that he ignored red flags 🤔🤷♀️ There’s often a perception that men aren’t as vulnerable as women but that’s just not the case. He was flattered by the attention and was lonely. It’s also not surprising that he had to choose between his daughter and her.
People need to understand coercive control and domestic violence better. It can happen to men too and quite clearly, she was a domestic abuser. It’s hard to understand domestic violence unless you’ve experienced it, but they can get control over your life and mind that you’d never have thought possible.
He did it. He was absolutely guilty. Nothing justifies attempting to murder his wife. HOWEVER, the dependency he had on her - that she had created - combined with him likely feeling he had no one else to turn to (common in abuse - even when family WOULD be there, they feel like they’re alone), it sent him into a meltdown 🤔 As I say, he should be held responsible for his actions in her attempted murder, and she should be held accountable for her assaults and abuse of him.
Kendall, I fully support your pursuit of the bag. You work hard and you truly deserve it. That being said, I really hope that you'll research potential sponsors more thoroughly in the future.
Idk I don't think we should support the grind when it's taking advantage of vulnerable people. There are better sponsors. You can get them

A stepmother who's jealous of her stepdaughters simply for existing, a tale as old as time and as toxic as ever. People like this should never marry anyone who has children. Period. And I agree that the money spent on the stepdaughter's wedding was crazy, but Mike gets to decide how to spend his own money. She was probably pissed off that her own wedding wasn't as extravagant and that the money wasn't spent on *her* . I absolutely think there's no way to know for sure what happened that horrible night but, given her attitude and history I just can't trust a word she says. There's just way too much reasonable doubt for a conviction and 30 year sentence.
yes!! what I thought of too while listening to the story.. she is giving mean girl- vibes
My daughters stepmother has been extremely nasty towards her. We ended up having to get a protection order against her after she called my daughter 20 times in a row just to cuss her out. She called her every hurtful name you can think of including homophobic slurs. She even told her to unalive herself. To make matters even worse she had her own daughter get on the phone and say the same things to my daughter.
@@williepearl278 That's so awful, I'm so sorry you and your daughter are going through this. I'm so glad you got the protection order. It's just amazing how toxic and actually evil some people are to their stepchildren. My situation with my own stepmother has never gotten quite to this point, thankfully, but she has bullied me relentlessly for decades. For no reason I can understand...recently I did realize it was a jealousy type thing. She saw (and still sees) me as her rival, for whatever reason.
You nailed it. She absolutely was insanely jealous and angry that their own wedding probably wasn't anywhere near as expensive or extravagant. If you ever meet someone as a potential partner that thinks they should come before your own children, RUN as fast and as far as you can.
A father wanting to give his daughter the best wedding ever is crazy then obviously you don't care about your children's choices in life either just like the stepmother didn't I would spend every last time to make sure my daughters had the best wedding in the world and I wouldn't give a f*** about it money doesn't mean everything just saying
I’m confused how the prosecution argued one minute he was done with her and went on dating profiles but the next minute were saying he killed her because he didn’t want her to divorce him.
He didn’t want her to divorce him and take all his money. Not because he likes being with her. So it makes sense. Sad, but it makes sense.
@@sarahmcdonald9624 ugh, gotcha. If only these people used prenups instead of it having to come to this lol
I don’t think he wanted her to take half of everything he had worked all his life to earn. I don’t think he wanted to be with her, but she was trying to rob him blind.
@@avamalmberg6125 Prenups aren’t 100% ironclad. And even then, it’s not always a case of “if we get divorced, you get NOTHING.” A lot of prenups have clauses and stipulations of a spouse getting x amount of money for how ever many years married or a lump sum.
I feel like she lied. Why not go back to the beach house if she was so afraid of him. She was probably the abuser she was also trying to control his money and was jealous over his own daughter. Such a sad situation for him and his family. I feel like if he was abusive his first wife would've said so.
Guilty AF !!!! That 911 call says it all . If someone breaks into your house & tries to kill you , you don’t sound calm the way he did & you don’t say “ya, we’re bleeding ….ummmmm, someone stabbed us….” Nah !
There’s lots of 911 calls where you can hear people remaining calm in horrific situations. Not everyone screams and panics.
@@brianogrady9031 Yep, but he kind of had it flip-flopped. He said someone was in the house (meaning already), but then he fell asleep and woke up to them bleeding??? He wasn't even injured that badly to have passed out.
I think two things can be true at the same time. I think they weren't suited to be married & that Sue wasn't a good partner - allegedly abusive even.
I also think he 100% did that to her when she threatened divorce. Im not even shocked her timeline doesn't add up in the moment to moment, because she was actively dying. Bound to be a little mixed up when you're bleeding out.
Absolutely! We need to acknowledge the nuance to this case. Sue might have been an abusive and terrible person, but that doesn't mean Mike didn't do it. He's not absolved of guilt because she sucked as a person.
It’s also a very plausible scenario that he got upset when he realized he would lose a ton of money to the divorce
yes! She doesn't sound like a good person, but she's the ones who was nearly killed. I think the verdict was very fair.
Exactly!
I think it was the right verdict. The main defense Mike had was just that he had a good reputation amongst his friends and family, but that’s hardly evidence. His story was just too inconsistent, and the main thing against Sue is that her timeline was off, but that doesn’t seem shocking to me if she was attacked and injured to the extent that she was. There was definitely some room for doubt, but not enough to warrant a different verdict.
sad people like u and the people in the jury exist so people can just get away w shit like this
But her's was??? She has the dv case against her but he's the bad guy? Foh
@@NerdyFefeI saw this on 48 hours here on UA-cam and they added more details to why he is guilty.
@@NerdyFefean abuser can be a victim and a victim can be a perpetrator. Nothing is black and white
@@AuroraRI’d really love to check that out, any chance you could please post a link 👍
Mike is obviously guilty. His fam gon stick beside him cus he has that endless cash flow. And sometimes all it takes is that one person to push you over the end and he ended up doing the unthinkable. Verdict was accurate 🤷🏻♀️
Hi. Why are you so pretty?? Sorry if this is weird!
or his family is gonna stick beside him cause their his family? hello?…also because he brought up to them first that she was abusive to him?..
Ive known several women with borderline personality so I think both stories are plausible.
I mean violent past abuse from sue says otherwise.
@selenamartinez5850 dayamn you fine💯💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
I don’t think either sides are completely accurate. Clearly an extremely toxic relationship. I can almost see him doing it out of anger of her abuse and her taking his money but I can also see her slitting her own wrists to stage him. Some people are that crazy.
Completely agree. Personally, I think that's exactly what happened.
Bingo 🎯, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle 🤔💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
This one was so hard to tell. Needed more info. Actually I think he ended up snapping because he was just done with her at that point. So hard to tell but his side sounds just so ludicrous.
He lied to the police and changed his story after she was able to tell her side of the story. And what sane person would just sit there and talk for hours when the person next to them is bleeding out? It also fits more her narrative that she told him what he wanted to hear jsut to survive. Just because she is an unlikeable character makes her not factual guilty. He went to her room to "talk" to her, when they were already heated. Of course his family is on his side, this proves nothing. People change, especially when they are in a shitty relationship. I think he snapped. Alone because of his first lying and then telling, he sat there hours talking. She had much more severe injuries than him, too.

this case seems like more of a gray area to me. as someone who was a victim of abuse for an extended period of time, you really do build a strong hatred and you just feel so shitty, worn down, frustrated, etc. to the point where you could snap like he did. i don't think she was entirely the victim, i think she may have played a role in her own injuries. but this case is really hard to say with complete confidence. but mike's story definitely doesn't add up, and i feel like sue is hiding something, or leaning into being the victim to cover for her own abuse. i think this is one of the cases where the truth is somewhere in the middle because both parties did illegal things they want to cover for.
Agree 100% and I find it really sad that one of them got life and the other got nothing
Wow some choice of sponsorship real helpful 😅
I genuinely cannot wrap my mind around the uncontrollable rage Sue had regarding the wedding. Yep, that’s a LOT of money to spend. However Sue was not about to be destitute and homeless on the street. It was not going to affect her extremely lavish lifestyle in the slightest. It’s not like her life was destroyed or even altered by the money spent on the wedding.
I also don’t understand her continued rage after the wedding. You can’t change the past! What did she think she would accomplish by continuing to hyper fixate on it? Nothing good, clearly.
After having been around & lived with rich people, it can't be stressed enough how weird they can get with money, having things their way, etc. There are a lot of ways to spend money, & Sue might have had other thoughts for how it could be spent (or saved, invested, etc.). Money can make people more possessive than they'd normally be. For some, money can 'buy' true security, freedom, the ability not to work, etc. & they don't want to let that go or have that jeopardized. I fully believe Sue took the wedding budget that personally, & I believe Mike on the other hand was legitimately freaked out about losing any amount of his money in a divorce. Both sides were probably feeling intense ownership over the money!
Anyone looking into the s*ponder of the video please seek for a better line for therapy! They have breached ethics many times. Do your research before giving this c*mpany your money
Are you ever going to do the professional closed captions again or is access for the Deaf audience not a priority?? I lobbied for years to get closed captions on this channel and with the revamp it looks like your team got cheap. The auto-generated captions are largely missing on every 911 call, TV segment, etc. and are extremely difficult to follow. You are letting us down.
That’s disappointing. I’ve been let down by several things since the revamp as well.
I think most of her time is dedicated to the documentary she’s working on and being a new mom. Im not making excuses, I’m just giving a different perspective. She also used a third party that did the captioning it wasn’t her team.
@@KandiceArrington22 I know, I'm the one who recommended the Rev service to her. She has a team of how many people, anyways? Josh, Janelle, Corelli, Sydney, the two guys working for Josh, and anyone else I haven't mentioned. She has the money and the resources to make her cases accessible.
As unlikable as Sue comes across I do believe her version of what happened that night. I think Mike snapped. His version of the night are nonsensical.
On a separate note, I was in a DV relationship for 10 years and never once called the police. I wanted to many times and even called and hung up but there was a million reasons I didn’t. So I find it offensive anytime a lawyer, or anyone, says they didn’t call the police.
totally! guess many people don't understand how scary that can be. Also I am so happy you're out of that relationship
Yes, this. His story makes no sense, it's ridiculous. I believe she probably was abusive, but it seems he was apart of this toxic cycle.
How can they say he didn't report it when she went to jail for abuse?
That was her former husband/partner.
Sounds like Sue is jealous of her husband’s child. I don’t understand why people are like that.
Narcissism. It's unfathomable to me as well.
Money
In the interviews from the daughter you can see it was the other way around, unfortunate looking woman.
So because she didn't like that her husband spent a lot of money on his daughter's wedding, that instantly means she was jealous?
Some adult children can be absolute assholes. You sound naive. There are "kids" who do everything in their power to cause problems for their new step parent. These "kids" (grown adults) are the jealous ones. I'm glad you are able to live in fantasy land though. What is more likely, the stepmother being mad about an expensive wedding or a kid being mad at the stepmother for suddenly having the rights to at least half of their inheritance? Who has more to lose??
This to me seems to be a classic case of reactive abuse that is straight out of a narcissist's handbook. When you mentioned she moved in with him only months after meeting him and then getting a ring on the finger not long after that, I was like, "Yup, narcissist." Then when you mentioned how everyone was like "He was such a chill guy. He would never done something like the abuse she's accusing him of." it's because he's not. Reactive is abuse will make people be like that. Sue probably followed him around the house, poking and yelling and taunting and poking some more at him. She would never let up, never let him walk away and never let him defend himself until he exploded. I had a family member who dealt with someone like this and they were the most chill, mild mannered person you'd ever meet, but then when they got into the relationship with the narc, suddenly we heard about things that were going on, and of course, the narc would cry they were the ones being abused. It was sad.
He should have made her sign a prenup or never let her be anything more than a date and never never let let a gold digger crazy person move into your home.
I’m leaning towards this too. I’ve seen this in my own life with how my mom treated my dad. Pushed and pushed and pushed him. One day when she pulled a knife on him my dad reacted and hit her to get away. She then played victim and told everyone my dad abused her all while leaving out the years and years of her abuse towards him
You have it right but he is the narcissist.
Oh, I had the typical evil step mother as a child. Was told my father didn’t even love my mother, and only married for a green card. “Why does she get new clothes and I don’t” and the answer bc I was growing out of mine wasn’t logical enough apparently. I was only in 4th grade and didn’t understand what she was even saying until I finally got older. It’s quite sad that any woman can be jealous of a spouses child/ren.
May they all get what they deserve. Thankfully my wicked step mother did.
Yeah, the daughter is prematurely aged and looks like she has drug habit, and Sue got to run off into the sun set.
I'm so sorry you had that experience. I had a terrible stepmother too, who came into my life around 8 years old. I'm so glad it wasn't earlier, because at 8 I was able to tell something was off about her. I was able to keep my guard up! Like other comments here, I don't respect or understand parents who will explore relationships let alone marriages with people who can't stand their stepchildren. Like don't marry people who already have children then!
I find it hard to believe someone would injure their self that critically. I agree with that theory.
i just recently discovered this channel and i was never a fan of this kind of stuff but lately love to watch them. Kendall is knowledgeable, has a calming voice, and respectful in all these stories. i enjoyed the greys anatomy one! that one was crazy! much love from NJ!
That clip of his family reacting to the verdict is so sad. Genuinely have no idea what I believe after watching this bc wow what a rollercoaster! The vomit and feces detail is so random and confusing like wth is with that??? Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this case before🤯
Thank you for all you do! So many cases get no coverage it breaks my heart. I checked out NCMEC in my current state and my home state. I was shocked to see how many teens went missing this summer from Springfield MA. No one is talking about it. One town 10+ kids in a couple months and no news. This doesn't even include the surrounding towns. Scary. Your a blessing to the world and families everywhere.
This is crazy i like like 15 from there not even... crazy.
This is a tough one. She was an abuser but her injuries were so severe it seems no one would do that to themselves but toxic crazy people do way worse things so idk. I’m torn
on this case.
Why are you so sure she was an abuser? Because her husband said she was?
@@DavidKen878 with literal picture proof, plus she was arrested previously so that’s why
@@keepitswirlin You mean the picture of her husband with blood on his face? That literally could have come from anything.

Never marry someone who the rest of your family doesn't love as well. It will always end badly .
My thoughts exactly! Hello, from a fellow Nanny Banana 🍌
Marry whom You choose. Your mate is the one who vows to be by your side for life.
If other family members can't manage to behave like adults, and show you and your mate proper respect, they are the one with the problem.
@@rulistening7777…did you not watch the video or?
Always? I disagree.
@@rulistening7777 If they vow to be by your side for life.....why is something called divorce, so common. If you love and respect your family, why would you ever marry someone they don't like. They are seeing things that the "in love" person can't or won't see.
I think it was awful that she abused him for all those years if that's really what happened but regardless I do believe after hearing the story and the evidence that he is guilty I think they made the right choice
Love the videos posted on Tuesdays. For some reason they seem closer together even though they are still 7 days between posts lol
How the hell would they have a conversation if sue was cut to the bone in some places... I feel like you would go into shock... this is so weird man
Right?? Like becoming weak and over hours..?
I love your channel! Your kitties are so cute. I recently acquired a few cats that were abandoned in my apartments. They now call me mommy. ❤
Good on you Mandi. Some people are just so awful. I have 2 cats. A 20 month old boy called Olly. He’s in my profile picture and an 18 months old girl called Rocket. She only has 3 legs. I got Olly in December 2022. And Rocket in June 2023. Both from a shelter. I keep them indoors and just walk them outdoors on their harness. We feed a bunch of feral cats in and around our neighbourhood. Sadly in Australia trap and release isn’t a thing. But yesterday we have found a young kitty in the colony that is friendly. We managed to get it into a carrier but when my partner went to put the rest of the food in the carrier it got away. We will try again today. If you can save one it will make a huge difference ❤🇦🇺 (Edit: we got the kitty! She went to the shelter today to get whatever treatment she needs and then we will adopt her and give her a home. My partner has called her Panda. She seems very fond of him for some reason. He was able to get her in the carrier easily today. She ran straight up to him)
Thankyou for rescuing the kitties! You have been chosen 😻🥰❤️
Good on you!🐱
Ive been watching for years.. i submitted a request before, and just want to thank you for covering it!! It was the Crystal Roger's case/Bardstown's unsolved murders. The truth is close to being exposed, but its the pressure from outside the community that has helped that, i believe.
He couldn't spend time with 1st wife but scaled back work for new wife who was an alcoholic virago. What did this woman have why he put up with such nonsense from her? Sometimes we don't know what's good for us.
I was thinking the same but maybe the divorce reason is not true
I feel like Mike is guilty. His story didn't really make sense, the blood splatter guy they brought in wasn't reliable, and I think anyone can snap when they're pushed too far. He might have been a nice guy and all but this woman sounds toxic as hell and maybe he had just been pushed too far. Overall I'm just not buying his story, especially him trying to claim that while she was bleeding out they were just laying there having a pleasant conversation??
Who knows what happened that night. I’m still wondering about the poop and vomit all over the room. And neither he or she said how it got there. Something weird happened in that bedroom.
@@raimeyewens7518 I can’t get over the poop and vomit either!! I wonder why they didn’t test it to see who’s it was; or at least demand an explanation from them, cuz it’s hard to believe a grown ass clean abled adult would poop or vomit in the middle of a room… Tbh I think they both tried killing and/or attacking the other, and once neither of them were successful they decided to call it a truce. (Kinda like in the movies where they both have the other one pinned with a weapon to their throat). But once the evidence later came out and they couldn’t properly explain themselves, they both had to change their story hence two different stories. And ofc, each one was going to portray the story in their favor 🤷♀️
Same, I saw this on 48 hours and he’s absolutely guilty.
@@kayleigh3648 I think something weird like that probably happened. They both were acting crazy and her story sounded better in the end. Something bizarre happened and neither one of their attorneys brought up the body fluids. Whatever happened in that room they both agreed not to mention that part.
the way i genuinely get giddy when you post LOL!
Love your stories....love how you tell them. Connecticut here
There’s a thing called crazy making behaviour from people in relationships with narcissists or other personality disorders, where the gaslighting and abuse leads to the victim snapping, but I don’t know enough about this situation to be sure one way or another with these two
This. Exactly this.
💯
He is the narcissist. He tried to killer, he love bombed her, he had all the money, he was on dating web sites immediately. He is the abuser she was just confused and reacting.
I was literally rooting for him to get off.
@@staceystrukel1917 they’re both abusers.
What was the explanation for the vomit and faeces?
Right? And was it Mike's or Sue's? What the fries happened?
I was gonna ask, which belonged to which person. 😮

@@CaseyMarie11-11betterhelp
Perhaps she doesn’t know about what you do. Instead of a vague comment about being disappointed, why not message her with the facts that make this company shady?
@@jenniferkinnaird-estrada8815 As much as I believe this is a "benefit of the doubt" argument, you just point out that she is ignorant instead and *chose* to not do any research on the companies she works with.
It’s just one of those cases where everyone involved needs to open their eyes and rethink their life choices. The daughter included. If you’ve seen the 48 hour interview with her, you know what I’m talking about
I need to look that up want to hear heroine and see what you are talking about too 😊
I'am a local to this area,they always came into our restaurant in our collage town,Mike was beyond one of nicest regulars. I was a young college student at UF and ,recently pregnant and during Christmas break he left his usual tip,then came running back in with 300$ tip and said Merry Christmas...I was so upset seeing this on the news it was so tragic,I believe two things can be true at the same time like she was abusive and Mike snapped....We all originally thought that he planned to take his own life to but then felt guilty and called 911..It's all just deeply tragic
Of course he's nice to a young little thing with loose morals, that doesn't mean his wife was abusive.
@@cacovieWow..this is the nastiest comment I have read in a true crime comment section in a very long time. I hope you aren't this judgemental on a daily basis..maybe you are related to Sue?
@@dallynutkat3252I agree with you.
Like you said in the end its good that no one died in this report. Mike and Sue are so toxic, it's hard to tell what really happens however, the jury has decided his fate based on the evidence they were given.
Divorce isn't the end of the world even when money is a big factor in the relationship.
What a shame when people ruin their lives, instead of walking away from a toxic relationship ☹ ...
If he is guilty, because he didn't want to lose half his money, well, now you've lost your freedom ... why would you ever even get involved with, let alone marry, someone who didn't love you children, too.
And if you're involved with someone who has kids, how could you not know the importance of getting along with them ...
All these lives all but destroyed 😥
Thank you to Kendall for producing such quality content ... always love seeing her dogs and cats and bunnies in the background, happy, safe, content ... 💗💗💗🙏💗💗💗
Incredible graphics.. unintentionally clicked wanting content as someone in a lupus flare, the flu 🤒 & a secondary - YOU LOOK STUNNING KENDALL & im so glad I can rest listening to content
Her content is awesome!! Should watch some more of her stuff(: and her podcast with her husband too!
Hope you feel better 😢
Oh my gosh I love her & Josh! Of course I don’t know them personally, but I had no idea she did her show live !!! I was coming to her page to find some older stories to listen to while relaxing…. Bc nothing gives me a solid nap like her & Joshes content (I will not apologize - however I literally get the best sleep listening to her or him) 🤒❤️🥹😂 plus she seems to have the most kind hearted following!
As someone who also struggles with lupus, my prayers go out to you right now
Oh my gosh thank you so so much !!!! I did get some nice self care time resting & imagining this story… I just wonder - were alcohol or drugs involved in this case??? Thank you so much again ❤️
I love how your Chief Investigative Officer is napping there so peacefully 😂😂 too cute ❤
Sounds like she's toxic and overall terrible person for him, and he definitely snapped.
very interesting case, I love your work and I like how you potray the case.
When you said Haile Plantation I was like WHAT!! That’s like 45 mins from where I live!! Finally someone covering a local case to me!
I’m conflicted on this one because even though his story sounds a little far fetched, I find it difficult to believe that he was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt… I think there is a little doubt here
Definitely agree.
Agree. I hope he can appeal
Wow, what a bizarre one! Thanks, Kendal. Love your shows.
Thank you for letting us see you and your cat! So precious.
First time catching a live! ❤ from the Philippines!
Ive never seen a premium before, i was so confused. This is super cool and Kendall is amazing ❤
Your comment made me laugh. I've been there so many times. 😅
Am I the only 1 who noticed that Mike sounded so calmed and collected during the 911 call after getting "stabbed"?
Yes so chill lol
I saw this case on an episode of 48 hours. The daughter was irritating to watch. There were also the videos from the courtroom... his defense story was crazy! They both had issues and obviously the relationship was very toxic but he is absolutely guilty of this crime.
Agreed. Toxic marriage and relationship within the family. Something about the daughter just seemed odd and annoying to me
I watched the 48 hours special too. Listening to the daughter speak was painful and annoying
Yeah, not entirely surprised Sue didn't like the daughter, watching that 😅
@@tesscassels3323 She's an addict.

Can you please do a story on Lauren Bajorek, no one has talked about her, she was murderd 8 years ago studying abroad in Spain, it was covered up. A classmate of hers is on a channel called “we’re all insane talking about the story” really sad 😞
“Peak so to speak” 💀
I don’t know why it made me chuckle so hard throughout the day, but it did, and I thank you for it.
Thanks for a great case
I witnessed this way too many times growing up. At times my mom did not like me, did not like being a SAHM at times or being a mom...She's, we're doing better now but I still don't understand why and how my parents are still together.
Great coverage of the story Kendall. I loooove your channel, always eager for the next upload. Supporting you from South Africa ❤
😊
You look Beautiful.....❤😊 Luv your videos.....Thanks for all the stories we wouldnt know about if you didnt post them.
omg I’m so excited to see Kendall tell this case I’ve seen it before!
Rich people can be so freaking dumb. If I'm ridiculously wealthy and I get in a fight with my spouse, one or both of us are going to chill in our own rooms at a luxury hotel, get room service, spa time, and then when we're fully relaxed we can calmly make up. Why have all that money and feel trapped in a house with someone you despise?
Beautiful tattoo, Kendall.
Girl, no, this case was such a mess. I can't make heads or tails of it- everyone in this story sounds somehow toxic. What did stand out to me is the notable cut on Mike's face and his search history. It makes me wonder if that was all staged so he could have a plausible defense after the fact. That part sounded really convenient- too convenient, especially given the timeline. But I truly don't know- rich people be messy.
and daughter could be in on it
@@elaineelwickbarr8064 absolutely. I wouldn't trust anyone in this story!
She’s wearing her sweater off of one shoulder (I do NOT understand that trend) to show that tattoo.😂😂

This case is insane but Kendall can I just say you are GLOWING. You look so beautiful😍
kendall i love you and watch you every week!! however i noticed when you pronounce the word both, you pronounce it bolth and it gets me everytime 😂😂😂
I'm sick and my brain functions are running on low, but I had to rewind this so much to follow along with the timeline these two provided lol it's so convoluted. What an insane case. From start to finish, bad decisions all around. Someone else already said it, but if you marry someone that hates your children, you're a bad parent to your child and you're inviting conflict and turmoil to your family. And that's just the beginning of it!
idk how to feel about this sponsorship tbh ......
Exactly and she doesn’t seem to care!!!!
My favorite true crime youtuber... I love your videos so much ❤
I’m a local to the Springs, and your new video theme reminds me of our color changes!!!!AMAZING
This story was a good one! I was not expecting the ending lol
I look forward to this every single Tuesday at 11 am lol
I feel like the call he made to the police was very telling. If an intruder came in my house and stabbed me and my husband I wouldn’t be that calm
Weddings at this location and others around New York are easily in the 6 figures and I’ve attended many of them. For the very wealthy $250,000 is a drop in the bucket!
Just one floral arrangement can be upwards of $3,000 and there may be 30 to 50 tables not including the effusive florals in the cocktail and general reception areas!
The food itself can run to over $500 per person and its Uber deluxe all the way with everything from the best seafood to filet mignon served before the main courses.
The deserts and after meal presentations are so deluxe you are absolutely overwhelmed… these weddings are like nothing most people will ever experience!
Eat the rich
Kendall 🧡 I LOVE how your intro is matching the weather 😂
this ones so hard. we'll never truly know since we weren't there. its hard to believe her when abusers are good at masking and covering their actions. and since she was a nurse shed most likely know how to cover her tracks and defend herself and it just seems quite convienent for her to kind of get off free. and then mike he seemed like a nice guy it can be hard to believe him to do a thing like that his details and honesty made me want to believe him but that kinda also makes me want to lean toward guitly because it can be a manipulation tactic im falling into. or maybe im thinking too hard but its just interesting looking at situations you could honestly speculate on forever. only those 2 will ever know what went on in that room.
Looking great Kendall! Love the tat!!!
Now always looking forward to Tuesdays for your videos:)
Kendall you and Josh seem like the most wonderful people. It even reflects in your subscribers and how happy your pets are. Thank you for everything you do! ❤ your videos also help me fall asleep 🥺
