      Miniscule .. 😊,yeah this a horrible story of two great parents who devoted love, time, money and so proud of their kids, home, life!! They DEFINETLEY did not deserve to be killed because one of their children were so desperate and afraid of the massive spider web of lies that he believed murdering his life giving parents was the correct course to take. My God the mindset you would have to have to set up this web of lies, the time put into the lies... he could have turned around his life easier than what it took to come up with his devilish scheme. I believe his parents spirit is still with the other son and will meet again someday. As for the killer psychopath son.. there is no redemption, he has no remorse, he has no respect and I believe that an event so wicked as this deserves the death penalty. At the least they need to study him while alive and after passing study his brain to maybe figure out what exactly went wrong with this boy. Imagine having this small baby, raising him with love & pride. Helping him up as he trips when learning to walk, helping him through highschool, dating and giving him advice then off to college and monetary loans to help him... then loud bang then darkness, my lord they deserved so much better.

I heard from another channel that she apparently got herself a dog,but she has gone into complete "hiding" from social medias,wich i totally understand. She is soo sweet,i hope she manages to recover,move on and become the happy,bubbly and energetic,positive young woman she was before all this. She will probably not trust another guy again just like that,poor thing. But with time hopefully.

      They wouldn't. This is far too much work for a "dead beat".
      All the elaborate accounts, characters, phones, and then killing them and disposing of their bodies would've been a lot of work, just imagine the effort of hacking an adult into pieces, then another, then sitting by a fire for days slowly trying to burn them up... He's obviously emotionally dead, but it's still a tremendous amount of work.
      So he definitely didn't do it to be a slacker. He must have some very serious mental deficiency like psychosis or schizophrenia.
      It's nothing like a normal person who decided to do this for some perceived gain. He's not that human.

      Compassion is the key ingredient for raising children. You have to teach them compassion by the time they're 8 years old. Having a consistent routine and at least one person in their corner is also essential and minimizing trauma as much as is possible. The one thing you can't really control is if they are born with psychopathy and there are ways to tell early on and there are psychologists and psychiatrists that can help the child not turn into a criminal - but psychopathy is pretty rare. Odds are you will not have a child with psychopathy which is basically a type of brain damage/disorder they are born with.

      I’d say that his parents created this monster- it’s unfortunate but true that all of their actions & inactions throughout his life whether early life trauma or what but their raising of him led to their son using them until he couldn’t use them anymore. The nail in the coffin was the shame of them finding out he’s a deadbeat all this time, which most likely sent their son into a manic survival mode & instead of owning up to his lies- he decided to throw his parents (which were merely a means to an end) to the side (by killing them) & instead of facing the now, ultra shame- he decided to do what he does best- & that’s to continue the lying & keep his facade going as long as possible.

When i was 10 my sister who was 13 wasn’t paying attention to me and so i left on my bike at 8pm to blow off steam. About 30 min into my ride a man pulled up and asked me where a certain trailer park was. I thought i knew and before i knew it i was in his car w my bike in the back. He immediately got on the freeway and took me about 7 miles away. When he exited the freeway he drove up a dirt road to a clearing. He parked the car close to a cliff. He kept asking if i knew what he was capable of and was i scared. I was. I told him that I wasn’t bc he was a nice man and he wouldn’t do such things. After a couple hours he decided not to assault me. We got back in the car and he started driving back towards where he picked me up. Along the way he offered me money to sit closer to him (bench seat) i said politely “no thank you” soon we reached where he picked me up and said he was a college student who was doing a study and he had also taken a older woman before also and he didn’t harm her either. He got my bike out, handed me $2 and told me to stay quiet. I rode my bike home so so very fast!! My sister was on the phone still and hadn’t noticed i left at all.

      Imagine being so worthless & lazy that you get caught deceiving two good parents for over 4 years & you think you MIGHT, just MIGHT get kicked out (at 23 dang years old!!) so your solution is to murder the only 2 people who care about you, who love you...and when your murdering them will only mean you'll still end up homeless within a few months when the mortgage & bills are not paid (by the people who did work and pay those bills) because you mercilessly and ignorantly killed them??

      You know. . .something like this has got me wondering about someone that I went to HS with. His mother was super sweet and open-minded. The last time that I saw her was when I was working and she came into the store to buy some new shoes(Payless). A few years later her bones were found(dumped) outside of Fiesta Texas Six Flags. The weirdest thing about him was that her death is highly questionable. He landed up living at home and helping his mom out because his dad left him and his brother to care for her; regardless something isn't right about the whole story. He also had is aggressive girlfriend move into the house, though his description of her was that she demanded she was to move in.

These pathological liars are also cowards and often turn violent when it's revealed because they don't want to admit it.

    The full trial is on YT. The way they proved what times he was burning them in the fireplace was based on a neighbors camera. It's barely a few pixels wide, but they matched the window from the fireplace room frame by frame that night and you can see the fire build up, and die, and build up again and then burn out of control before going out. That's when the fireplace glass shattered. Their fat cells were rendering out and having fans blowing in caused an "oven fire" or "grease fire". He tried to throw water on it but we all know what happens when you throw water on a grease fire.
    He was proven guilty more detailed than anyone else I have ever seen. Day by day and hour by hour for a whole week he left evidence EVERYWHERE.

    I watched the trial and it was heartbreaking to watch Kat and Chandlers brother testify about how the parents were such great people. Kat cared more about his parents than he ever did. The sad part is that his parents would have been upset and hurt because he lied to them for years, but they would have forgave him for all of it if he would’ve taken steps to better himself. They really loved him, they were discovering he was a liar, but neither of his parents would have thought for a second he was capable of killing them.

Everyone who testified had nothing but good things to say about them. The last thing their other son Mitchel needs is to come across people criticizing his deceased parents on the internet. They had 2 boys, they were raised the same way and were very close in age. Mitchel didn’t turn out the way his brother Chandler did. He graduated from college, had a job, had moved out to live with his fiancée and was very self sufficient. He was thriving. Chandler had every opportunity his brother did, he just wasn’t interested in bettering himself, he used all his time and energy lying to everyone.

But to add some more unbelievable steps forward: to cut them into pieces and burn them? He had no issues with his parents. They weren’t treating him bad so he must have a bad feeling about them. How can you do this? This must me an undetected psychopath. Sure his life was about to fall apart but he had the chance to do a restart. Loosing all the thrust but trying to make out a living, it wasn’t too late. But with his actions he truly destroyed his and his families life.

Therefore no one would know he was a murderer AND no one would know he was a liar because he killed his dad who he was sure was the only person who knew he was a liar. So he would be known as neither. He would just be this super neat, super smart, super successful person he pretended to be.

Neverrr in a million years could I imagine doing what this kid did and it’s just like scary and disconcerting and heartbreaking because he has the type of parents that would’ve been mad about his lies sure, but they would’ve gotten over it because they loved him but he couldn’t deal with disappointing them so he just murdered them and chopped them up… that’s messed up
