I really hope the 7 year old girl is getting the help she needs after witnessing something traumatic. The interview with police sent chills down my spine. When she said she hugged her mom's leg as she was getting attacked, I broke down. No child should ever have to experience any traumatic event.
I wasn't well last week and I fainted in front of my daughter who is only a little bit older than this poor little girl. The look on my daughter's face when I came round was more terrifying to me than anything that was happening to me in the moment and its still branded in my mind everytime I close my eyes. She was terrified and looked so vulnerable. Bless her heart; she ran and got me water and said she'd make me some toast for my blood sugar because that's what I did for her a couple of years back when she fainted. All I cared about in that moment was making sure she was okay even though it was me who needed help. It absolutely destroys me knowing that little girl held her legs because she wanted to protect her mother 😢 and thinking that poor Kelly likely will have been fighting for her life thinking that if she gave up, her kids would be next. Its unimaginable how terrified they both must've been. I hope Charlie gets the help she needs to process such a horrendous trauma. Even as a 31 year old woman I can't imagine not having my own mother to go to when I'm scared and hurting. I just keep picturing how tightly Id hold my daughter if she'd lost someone she loved while she grieved and how I'm one of the only people (if not the only person) who could make it better. Charlie needs her mother now more than ever and she's gone 😢 All the love and light in the world to Charlie and her sibling, Kim and all of Kelly's family ❤
So this sob kilt his wife in front of his kid. Sounds like my sorry ass sperm donor. Cause he never been a dad to us. An this bit still living. My Momma been gone 17 yrs in October.
It's so sad that she's talking like something she saw on TV. She's going to have to fully deal with that as she grows up and realises the extent of it. I wish there was a way to wipe memories.
@@haileyranson8255I hope you and your daughter are better now. Thank you for sharing your story. It highlighted not only your daughter’s trauma but the unimaginable trauma Kelly’s daughter went through.
What makes this EVEN sadder is the fact that in her last awful moments, Kelly would have been experiencing the terror of believing her kids would be murdered, too 😔
That got me too.. my son is 7 and he is literally my only hope in life. He saved my life and we went through shit together and alone, but we always had each other. The image of him being in that situation and saying that shot into my head. I feel like that will forever stick with me.. this poor baby and her sibling and mom did not deserve this. I hope that monster rotts in hell. Who does this to their own family?!
I watched an "Explore With Us" video a few days ago, and a cop found a body in a freezer. He said, "I have a body," and it was very matter of fact. So, hearing this cop react how he did, really just solidified for me how bad her condition probably was
I live in this area and remember the crime vividly. My friend is EMS and was a responder to this scene, according to him…Kelly was brutalized. They believed at first it could’ve been a gunshot wound to the head. He’s told me to this day several of the EMS guys he works with have purple ribbons in their vehicles for Kelly. 💜
I knew her personally. Her story haunts me often. She was an amazing mother. I cannot even listen to the story tonight but thank you for covering it. ❤❤❤❤
I’m so sorry! It’s so bizarre when you watch a true crime story and you actually know the people involved! I worked for a few years with a girl who later came up missing - along with her husband and 5 year old daughter- they eventually found the 3 of them in a shallow grave - all 3 had a bullet hole in their skull.. it’s so hard to watch it being covered online but I’m always grateful for the media attention!
When Kendall gets fired up like she did in this video it makes me love her even more. She is so passionate for justice and getting cases out in the public when they aren’t getting the attention they need. Thank you for being the amazing advocate that you are!
“ as you can tell I am not a fan of Thomas Clayton. In fact, I fucking hate this guy.” ☠️😂 oooh Kendall that got me good. I love it when you tell it like it is. You go girl.
This tears me up too. My daughter is one and every single time she's scared, she runs to me and wraps her arms around my legs and to even fathom being in a situation where I can't protect her when she comes running... It's horrific. I am devastated for Charlie and her mother.
That has to be one of the saddest part of this story. That little girl has to carry this for the rest of her life! I grew up with abuse. I have blocked most of it but I have snippets that linger in my mind of what my dad did to my mom. After all these years. I’m 73 now. The scary snippets stay. And my stories are nothing close to that of the little girl who touched her mommy with a hockey sick (her mommy was unrecognisable, remember? ) and she hugged her leg. 😢😢😢
Men hate women! From toxic gymbros with mics to actual murders, it’s scary knowing a random unassuming man walking by could think you don’t deserve rights
“It couldn’t have been Daddy because who will look after us?” sounds like something a 7 year old wouldn’t think of on their own which is just sick to think he manipulated his child with the fear of abandonment. There are no words to describe this monster accurately.
When I was 6, my mom fell and hurt her foot, as she was bending over in silence dealing with the pain, I looked over to my brother and said “omg did my mom die, who is going to take care of us” 😅 of course an innocent kid. But it is something you can think about as a kid, because you know who takes care of you, the authority figure.
This is something my anxiety ridden 3&6 yo have just on their own. If anything changes in their lives they get scared about what's going to happen to them. I think it's a normal anxiety for children that as adults we have so many anxieties that we forget having them as children. I hate she had to see the trauma of it all. That is awful
@@roxyboxie1016 yeah i agree. that definitely sounds like something i would have worried about on my own at 7 years old. i was a very anxious and neurotic child due to an unstable household environment and family genetics. that being said, this girl probably lived in a very dysfunctional family even before her mother’s murder… not to mention at least her father most definitely has some sort of mental illness. so combine the environment and genetics, and she most likely dealt with anxiety starting at a very young age.
This case scares me so much. I’m currently in the middle of a divorce with a narcissist who thinks he can get away with giving me nothing after 10yrs of marriage and two kids. He tore our family apart due to being selfish and cheating. I tell my family and friends all the time that if I end up gone, he definitely had something to do with it. What some people will do rather than go through a fair divorce is astounding.
Please stay safe ❤ Document everything- record fights and his rages, screenshot texts, save emails. Everything. I didn't do this with my narc ex of 14 years and I regret it so much!! 😢

lol. Yeah, tell us how you really feel, Kendall In all seriousness though, I really hate that this happened to Kelley, and ultimately, their children. I hope there will be healing for this family in the years to come.
kendall i literally adore that you aren’t afraid to state how you actually feel about these murderers. its how we all feel by the end of the video too.
It’s gross that she excuses the actions of the guy who actually carried out the murder, and even says stupid things like “at least he was empathetic enough to not burn down the house”. I get the impression she would never be so forgiving or lenient had the murderer been white.
@@ohwellwhateverroh lord, it doesn’t matter what skin color he was. Why did you even have to bring up that last point because it makes no sense, AND you’re looking way too into what she said. She meant at least he had some sort (not excusing his actions and she didn’t either) of change in his mind to not go through with killing the children/ burning the house down. Stop trying to argue for no reason, because it really seems like you’re just looking for things to nitpick instead of actually considering what she meant.
That hoe of his working in the insurance agency should have been charged too since she knew what he was up to setting him up to get a million dollars thinking she'd have access to it.
It's even worse that the agent helping him increase his wife's life insurance started having an affair with him and listened to him constantly talk bad about her. All of that would raise some serious red flags for me.
@50sRockChick and INSTANTLY report it to the police if the person SUDDENLY becomes "unalive" shortly after the increase in coverage... THAT is suspect right there,homie 😒💯💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
Yes, and with all of that violence, too! I can't even imagine... I think she stayed with her mom for the entire time because she wanted to comfort her and try to somehow help her. The normal reaction to this extreme violence for a young child would be to run away and hide, or try to run for help. I hope she gets the help she needs to heal and recover from this.
im so so sorry. I can relate to your horrendous pain. I watched my little brother pass away in front of me a month ago. and my mom passed a year and a half ago.
I watched my mother take her last breath when i was 7, and i reacted almost the same way. Very unemotional about it but the consciousness hit years later. I could never imagine what it would be like to see her being tragically hurt in front of me though. Poor thing.
As a grown woman who tends to curse too much , I think your profanity is organic and it's one of the things that makes your page yours. It shows you're not just disconnected from these stories and that you're genuinely passionate about it.
I will _never_ understand people who get really uptight about swearing, and seem to care more about the swearing than the thing you're swearing about. Y'all are into true crime but can't handle an F-bomb here and there?
You took the words out of my mouth. Kendall shows her genuineness and thats why i prefer her channel to others that are similar or telling the same story...bc she is truly empathetic and trying to bring awareness and meaning to these tragic stories where others dont. Her profanity shows her depth and heart.
Kendall...i lost my brother when he was 25. My mom said her greatest fear was him being forgotten and she wanted his death and life to have meaning. I really appreciate how you take the time to truly empathetize with the family, get perspective on who the victim was..youre not just telling a gruesome story and exploiting her death for views, like other channels. Youre bringing awareness and meaning to a tragic story and it shows your genuineness. Thats why i prefer your channel to others telling the same story. Thank you for bringing meaning to these victims with depth and heart.
She sounds very mature for a 6yr old. Her parent i.e., her mother did well raising her to be so mature and caring. That thing with the male genetics over there is a juvenile egocentric thing.
yeah I get tired of the swearing. I think that we should use better words than cuss words, IMO. But on a happier note, I love the kitty in the background.
@jeannetteross5352 sometimes you need to swear to let out the amount of emotion you're feeling. Sometimes swear words are what can best describe something.
This case was in my area, literally 20 minutes from my neighborhood, and was very shocking. He was a horrible person and deserved what he got. My friend and I even did a customized bracelet sale for her kids and family at a hockey gamer where he played. That night, the team auctioned off their jerseys to benefit the kids. It was very touching and heart warming that the fans were such big contributors. This, of course, was a few years after it happened. Our hearts still go out to the family and especially the kids.
I remember when this happened. When the trial was going on, purple ribbons for Kelley were hung everywhere - on trees, on signs, on mailboxes. Stuff like this just didn't happen in our hometown. And then it did. RIP Kelley.
I'm from Corning and used to work at WETM during his sentencing. I remember all of this and the way it felt every time I saw Justice for Kelley or the purple ribbons.
I didn’t know her personally but am also from the same town. I remember seeing her at Woodhouse’s. I was newly married around the time and it scared me to think that you could be married to someone, going to bed every night and waking up every day together and not really know what was going on inside their head beyond what they wanted you to see. It was like a lifetime movie plot.
In the animal kingdom, there are many male species that kill females if they've been rejected or kill the females offpsring if they want to impregnate her. I'm starting to think many humans may have similar instincts.
The fact that her 7 year old daughter witnessed her death makes me so mad. I hope that her daughter and son live the rest of their lives knowing how much they are loved and how special their mom was. Rip Kelly
You might like Deception Detective channel. He explains Statement Analysis and he's talked a lot about 911 calls. There's an FBI check list of clues for these calls he's used to explain the tells.
This happened less than two miles from my home. Not that this makes any of this better, but the community really came together for the children. A fund was started for people to donate money for them. I believe the children are with Kelly’s sister. I didn’t know Kelly personally- but I have a lot of friends that did and they had nothing but beautiful things to say about her. Tree’s, businesses, and peoples homes in the area were adorned with purple ribbons. Her death really did affect the entire community.
I really love your profanity. Sometimes there are no other words than a really nice four-letter word. And because sometimes I speak that way it makes you even more personable. That being said keep speaking the way you do👍
This!! Definitely makes her more relatable. The people saying she is "vulgar" are insane! If they think Kendall's vulgar,they better stay off the rest of the Internet!!
Literally thinking the same thing. She doesn’t moderate herself like other podcasters and I appreciate her personality with each episode! We can all relate
it says something to me that a lot of these cases involve beautiful (inside AND out), intelligent, amazing people being murdered by selfish, jealous, evil, greedy men
It reminds me of that meme “a murder case always begins with he or she lit up every room, a reminder to bring darkness with you into every room” a joke but also something to consider 🫤😔
Well its interesting when you look at these videos all day compared to like a officer u may know who deal wih the stuff on a regular basis and hear the differences in how they talk about it. Having two parents who's sheriffs and mother retired just last week. I get a good perspective on stuff. That being said. Not just all men. Man i can tell you numerous times she question me about women i talk to because the age thing. The women who set men up. She dealt with mostly women criminals. Anyone i hung with she didnt know "where did you meet them?". Lmao me and my mother matter fact was talking about robberies and how these young men are commiting em in chicago and i stereotyped tbh then she corrected me and said. Theres white, mexican, chinese. Yet ppl just go off what they seen on media lol. Oh and the migrates. They are definitely doing their fair share ive heard
I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing true crime channels and almost every single one points you out as one they can’t criticize because you do a lot for the victim’s family or charities. You’re the type of true crime channel that doesn’t tell their story just for views and I’m sure the families appreciate it a lot
I just discovered your channel last week. Its so incredible ive binged so many episodes. All your work for justice and charities is truly amazing. Thank You for everything you do. ♥️🙏💯
She is a very wonderful and beautiful person. Both her and Josh. I live in Wyoming one state over and I hope to have the pleasure of meeting her someday.
Her podcasts are amazing too, if you really enjoy her channel you will love ‘Mile higher podcast’ 🥰 I would love to re live finding Kendall for the first time!!! Welcome to the fam🫶🏼
Been out of my domestic violence situation for a little over 5 years now. I def almost lost my life a couple times. I’m so glad to hear that Kendall is spreading awareness on the situation, and it’s even more amazing to see her city come together with the Purple Hearts. Awareness is so important…it’s 2024 and I still hear the phrase “why didn’t you just leave” come up. We have to change the way people see these situations and address them. Thank you Kendall for being such an inspiration to get involved and make a difference. You truly have the most kind soul ❤️❤️
I was in the same type of situation. It’s fear. Fear for yourself and most likely the abuser (like mine was) was a narcissist and psychopath. To everyone, he was so sweet and kind but to me he was mean and abusive. I started planning my leaving the day after I found out I was pregnant. I wasn’t able to get out until my son turned 2. He dragged the divorce out, was just awful through the whole thing. You don’t know how hard it is to leave unless you are in the situation. It’s not as easy as it seems. I had to research laws, make sure I had all my paperwork organized so I could put up a good fight in my divorce. I knew if I didn’t get out of there, I would end up dead. I didn’t want my son growing up thinking this is how a boy treats a girl. These men get you scared and isolated. It’s harder than it seems. Please don’t judge a woman who takes the time to leave. It’s terrifying to be in that situation.
I was married to a narcissist. I had a head injury so bad I couldn't find my house. My ex got me drunk. I drank more that night than probably any other night of my life. He's a certified first responder and knew damn well that he was skyrocketing the odds that I would die. When I was out of the brain fog I couldn't reconcile that he wanted me dead. He did.
I’m so sorry. I remember when I had to look my friend in the face and tell her that her first responder husband wanted her dead. She had a look of shock, anger (at me), and disbelief. She was still in brain fog because she had just had a major surgery. This man was so charming and didn’t let his mask slip for almost 6 years. But boy when it slipped, it was off for good!
what a monster to not do this in the first place, but to do it in front of your CHILD. i was 16 when i watched my mom die in a non-violent way, and it gave me permanent issues. cannot imagine how much worse it is to be so young and the manner of death she witnessed to be so brutal. i hope she has and continues to recieve a lot of help and support. gives me truly unspeakable rage.
This case hit so hard. When I saw the hole in the staircase drywall I felt her in that moment. She had no control and I felt so sad.. Thank you for sharing Kelley’s story. ❤ Kendall, you’re amazing and so was she.
I used to do a sport with Charlie. She is the kindest, sweetest girl ever. September 29th, last year, maybe 2 years ago, we had a purple themed practice for Kelley. Our team sat in a circle and Charlie told us how it was her mom's anniversary and all I wanted to do was cry. I felt so bad for Charlie and Cullen. I still have the purple bracelet Charlie gave to the whole team. May Kelley rest in peace. Nobody should ever have to go through this. Nobody deserves this kind of pain.
He upped her life insurance A YEAR before her life was taken. I cannot get over the fact that she lived with him for a year (possibly more) after he started planning her murder. It breaks my heart - she felt safe at home, her children felt safe at home - all the while he was planning to take her life. I can't.
I just can’t fathom how someone could live with with their partner, let them cook you meals, share a bed, clean your clothes, care for them and the children, all the while planning on killing them. It makes me physically sick. If these men are just so greedy for money, why don’t they just go rob a bank etc, rather than killing their families. I am convinced that it is multifaceted, they want money, they want the new girl, they don’t want the children “baggage”, and also, they don’t want their current partner to find someone else. It’s greed & control. Utterly disgusting
It's stuff like this that makes me scared to date. I cannot imagine sleeping next to someone every night thinking you're safe and the person who knows you best in the world is plotting to kill you. Absolutely terrifying
I love it when you curse. It shows your sincerity and honesty. These cases are so sad and ridiculous. Being real about them is the best way to be. I feel you over 9000% 🔥🔥🔥
My father died when I was 6… it really messed me up for years… I haven’t seen anything, so can’t imagine what that poor baby girl is going through…. Hope she gets help she will definitely need…
I have a 7 year old daughter and I cannot fathom how afraid she was in that moment. Her witnessing what happened to her mom is absolutely heartbreaking.
Oh my heart. Sweet Charlie. This story made me so so sad. I have a 6 year old daughter so it hit me really hard. RIP Kelley. You were an amazing mother ❤
Just got to the "some people don't like my profanity" and I'm floored. SERIOUSLY? She's an adult, they're words, grow up, and don't watch if you don't like it 🤦♀️. It seems really childish to be in her comments with childish things like "oh I wish you wouldn't say such and such" 😂.
Agreed. I also see a lot of people seek out videos like this where you know there will be violence and rough topics and then they whine when those topics come up. You clicked on a video about a serial rapist and you're commenting you're upset that there's sexual violence in this video, for example. Why are you HERE, then? Take some responsibility for the content you consume. It seems to me that they expect to be coddled from the world. It doesn't work that way, especially when you seek out content you state you can't handle consuming.
I had a sociology professor who liked to drop the F-bomb, I quite enjoyed it. 2 weeks into the semester he gives the class a quick lecture about how if you don't like the profanity he uses, to drop the class, because he's not forcing us to be there. He said to put your adult clothes on and don't come back instead of crying to the ombudsman. He made a point that a fellow peer and ADULT, complained because she didn't like the profanity he used and it was distracting her from learning. That this student should grow the f up and get used to it, you're in an adult world now, you can't tell on everyone because you have different beliefs. Then said how the F can he get through teaching a class called SOCIAL PROBLEMS without swearing, that that's a social problem in itself! He was pretty harsh and felt like he was passive aggressively attacking that student, but he had some good points, similar to yours.
Sometimes profanity is the truest way to describe the feelings you're trying to convey. Seems to be completely justified here. I appreciate the honesty.
It took forever for the ad to close before I could comment. Thank for your detailed coverage of this case as I’ve heard of it before but not handled so sensitively. Thomas is a narcissistic, evil scumbag who cared nothing for his wife or his children!! My heart breaks for her family, especially for her precious children. I’m so glad they’re growing up in a safe and loving home. I’ll never understand why spouses think murder is preferable to divorce! This case has made me sick to my stomach!
First... Do NOT apologize for being you. Call them as you see 'em. If people can't handle a little potty mouth, well, who needs them. Second... Absolutely this piece of garbage engineered the desperation of another person. No question. Third and most importantly... I wish for those children only the best things. I hope they can find love and peace. Therapy, with a really, really good therapist and lots of it. Thanks Kendall.
“And then I hugged her leg” is something that is never going to leave my thoughts now. I can’t even imagine. I don’t feel like I deserve to complain about my childhood after hearing that. Poor babies. I hope she gets all the help throughout her life ❤️
This happened in my hometown. My brother knows the underage girl he was having an affair with and her family. The whole thing is so heartbreaking. It hits closer to home when it’s people you know.
I for one love your profanity! To me it is more honest and genuine than holding things in because someone might not like it! So Thank You for being you Kendall!
I am crying 😭 this is absolutely heartbreaking and unimaginable. The trauma that that precious 7 YEAR OLD went through is just beyond words. What a monster he is to have this done. I’m just truly heartbroken. She will have trauma the rest of her life. He’s basically just messed her up for life and he doesn’t even care, obviously. 😢
I don’t mind your profanity! It truly shows how passionate you are about these cases, and it’s totally understandable! These cases are difficult and frustrating to learn about. Your efforts are not in vain! You’re truly appreciated!
I love your language, because it echoes what I’m usually sayin/yellin. Please don’t apologize for being yourself, it makes me feel more like you’re in my livin room drinkin coffee talkin about a case.
Kendall, I appreciate your swears while telling these stories. These things are outrageous, and your disgust is appropriate. Thank you for everything you do.
Please do a video on Victoria Marquina missing from small town Amador county where she was a highschooler- she was last seen with her 21 year old boyfriend who was arrested but released due to only circumstantial evidence she’s been missing since 2019!!!! I grew up in this town please consider giving this family and case the spotlight!
Don’t worry about swearing, I don’t usually swear (though in Ireland cursing is very casual, it’s used as filler words) but with this case, ugh it was needed. I’d call this guy a human piece of garbage but that’s an insult to garbage. I can’t image the stress and pain this women was put through, thinking her children were next. And that little girl seeing what happened. Heartbreaking. Though if she hadn’t seen, she might not have been seen and the house might have been burnt down. Too sad. The women from the life insurance, what was she thinking. This guy is upping his’s wife (who he hate apparently) her life insurance…no alarm bells ringing there girl?! Best case, they get divorced and the policy would change names anyway so…🤔 how did she miss the red flags.
Not to mention, you can't take life insurance out on someone w/o them signing the paperwork. I wonder if Kelly actually knew about it...or did he sign it & the insurance gf looked the other way 🤔
@@rayray80234there was another case about a couple who was helping out a younger woman and they took insurance out on her and then killed her. And apparently they had done it with other individuals as well. So I don’t know if that holds true everywhere.
I would like to say I appreciate your profanity and it makes the story more real. Makes me feel like I’m hearing it from a human or a friend as opposed to uptight, unsympathetic reporter.
So horrific, definitely a narcissist! Glad the kids are okay and the killers are behind bars! I appreciate your storytelling, candor, and authenticity as well as all the donations you make-rare for true crime creators. Thank you. 💛
My favorite episodes are when you get passionate enough to call them by the fowl names these people are. Thank you for sharing and freedom of speech babe!!
It breaks my heart how in an instant a life can be put out senselessly and over the most ridiculous reason. One moment someone is here, breathing and laughing with family. And then in an instant they are gone, leaving behind only memories and family... Sending out my prayers to Kellys' family and children
Hi Kendall, I appreciate how you handle these cases, you show empathy when you talk about them and you actually support services to help people. Keep doing what you do and set the bar for these other true crime tubers.
My mom died from being sick when I was 8. I cannot even imagine that pain and trauma this little girl experienced as she watched what happened to her mother. Losing someone to sickness was hard enough on me as a kid but I cannot imagine having to witness something like this, even now as an adult.
Hearing that her daughter witnessed her murder and she remembered her mom telling her to run away...that broke me. How can you send someone to kill your wife, knowing your child is in the house...how can you hurt someone with their child literally watching you do it...I just...I can't fathom those things. What an absolutely selfish piece of complete garbage her husband is. I hope her kids can grow up as healthily as possible and get to remember their mom fondly with the rest of their loved ones.
My daughter is 6 and although they are still so young they understand so much, truly heartbreaking. I hope she is surrounded by people helping her get through that trauma
Dont apologize for your passion and outrage on unnecessary case. From the first “phuckn audacity”. I said out loud “oh shes mad mad, Its going to be a good video, this guy did something to piss you off.” I can see now after watching the whole video. I just don’t understand ppls mindset sometimes. How they can justify murder instead of divorce. Its truly scary.
I really hope the 7 year old girl is getting the help she needs after witnessing something traumatic. The interview with police sent chills down my spine. When she said she hugged her mom's leg as she was getting attacked, I broke down. No child should ever have to experience any traumatic event.
I don’t care how poor you are. What kind of a monster could kill a mother as their child watches? Both men are demons.
I wasn't well last week and I fainted in front of my daughter who is only a little bit older than this poor little girl. The look on my daughter's face when I came round was more terrifying to me than anything that was happening to me in the moment and its still branded in my mind everytime I close my eyes. She was terrified and looked so vulnerable. Bless her heart; she ran and got me water and said she'd make me some toast for my blood sugar because that's what I did for her a couple of years back when she fainted. All I cared about in that moment was making sure she was okay even though it was me who needed help.
It absolutely destroys me knowing that little girl held her legs because she wanted to protect her mother 😢 and thinking that poor Kelly likely will have been fighting for her life thinking that if she gave up, her kids would be next. Its unimaginable how terrified they both must've been. I hope Charlie gets the help she needs to process such a horrendous trauma. Even as a 31 year old woman I can't imagine not having my own mother to go to when I'm scared and hurting. I just keep picturing how tightly Id hold my daughter if she'd lost someone she loved while she grieved and how I'm one of the only people (if not the only person) who could make it better. Charlie needs her mother now more than ever and she's gone 😢
All the love and light in the world to Charlie and her sibling, Kim and all of Kelly's family ❤
So this sob kilt his wife in front of his kid. Sounds like my sorry ass sperm donor. Cause he never been a dad to us. An this bit still living. My Momma been gone 17 yrs in October.
It's so sad that she's talking like something she saw on TV. She's going to have to fully deal with that as she grows up and realises the extent of it. I wish there was a way to wipe memories.
@@haileyranson8255I hope you and your daughter are better now. Thank you for sharing your story. It highlighted not only your daughter’s trauma but the unimaginable trauma Kelly’s daughter went through.
26:24 "then I hugged her leg". That sweet little girl. I'm sobbing 😭
😭
That broke me 😭
i immediately started crying when she said that as a mother myself that was a shot to the heart.
Oh man I know, that one broke me.
So tragic smh
What makes this EVEN sadder is the fact that in her last awful moments, Kelly would have been experiencing the terror of believing her kids would be murdered, too 😔
Ouch. That one hurt
That’s exactly what I was thinking as a mother 😢 horrible way to die but to think your children will end the same way is horrifying.
Yes, that always broke my heart more.
Oh, my eyes are leaking 😢
I prey to whatever is beyond that her soul knows her babies are okay and she’s watching over them ❤
@@StormyHallahan❤❤❤❤q❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤2❤❤2111lou
When she said she hugged her mother’s leg I began to cry. That poor sweet baby. Life is so unfair.
I'm currently watching the video and had to stop to cry when I heard this... So sad
I just screamed hearing that. I can't imagine. That will stick with me for a long time.
That got me too.. my son is 7 and he is literally my only hope in life. He saved my life and we went through shit together and alone, but we always had each other. The image of him being in that situation and saying that shot into my head. I feel like that will forever stick with me.. this poor baby and her sibling and mom did not deserve this. I hope that monster rotts in hell. Who does this to their own family?!
The “whoa ok” from the cop send chills down my spine.
Same thought
I watched an "Explore With Us" video a few days ago, and a cop found a body in a freezer. He said, "I have a body," and it was very matter of fact.
So, hearing this cop react how he did, really just solidified for me how bad her condition probably was
I live in this area and remember the crime vividly. My friend is EMS and was a responder to this scene, according to him…Kelly was brutalized. They believed at first it could’ve been a gunshot wound to the head. He’s told me to this day several of the EMS guys he works with have purple ribbons in their vehicles for Kelly. 💜
I appreciate unfiltered Kendal👏🏼this was great coverage.
TOTALLY agree! 💜
Amen
Same!!! Like let fkn be real!
I love this Kendall lol
I knew her personally. Her story haunts me often. She was an amazing mother. I cannot even listen to the story tonight but thank you for covering it. ❤❤❤❤
I’m so sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry! It’s so bizarre when you watch a true crime story and you actually know the people involved! I worked for a few years with a girl who later came up missing - along with her husband and 5 year old daughter- they eventually found the 3 of them in a shallow grave - all 3 had a bullet hole in their skull.. it’s so hard to watch it being covered online but I’m always grateful for the media attention!
My condolences to you and her loved ones 🤍
very sorry for your loss 💜
@@chrissieroxba2949did they ever figure out who did it?? So awful
The comment about “who will take care of us” really really knocked me down. I cannot imagine, I started to cry
Yep I'm about the same.. how can you violate your partners and child's trust...that is unconditional
When Kendall gets fired up like she did in this video it makes me love her even more. She is so passionate for justice and getting cases out in the public when they aren’t getting the attention they need. Thank you for being the amazing advocate that you are!
“ as you can tell I am not a fan of Thomas Clayton. In fact, I fucking hate this guy.” ☠️😂 oooh Kendall that got me good. I love it when you tell it like it is. You go girl.
Don’t ever apologize for using your free speech. You’re great at what you do. Do it your way, it’s working for you. ❤❤❤
She probably would of back in her young prime years 😂
“She was suffering… and then I hugged her leg.” My god Kendall, I’m crying right along with you 💔
This tears me up too. My daughter is one and every single time she's scared, she runs to me and wraps her arms around my legs and to even fathom being in a situation where I can't protect her when she comes running... It's horrific. I am devastated for Charlie and her mother.
You’re a trooper. What a sweet comment you made were all crying about that. This is a horrible horrible ending of the story. God bless this lady.
My too that part killed me 😢😢😢
Heartbreaking to hear the lil one say this ..
💔😢
That has to be one of the saddest part of this story. That little girl has to carry this for the rest of her life! I grew up with abuse. I have blocked most of it but I have snippets that linger in my mind of what my dad did to my mom. After all these years. I’m 73 now. The scary snippets stay. And my stories are nothing close to that of the little girl who touched her mommy with a hockey sick (her mommy was unrecognisable, remember? ) and she hugged her leg. 😢😢😢
At this point I’m becoming convinced that staying single will increase my life expectancy.
This comment made me laugh so hard.
Right? Sad but true.
you took the words from my mouth!
😂right there with ya
Men hate women! From toxic gymbros with mics to actual murders, it’s scary knowing a random unassuming man walking by could think you don’t deserve rights
The fact he set this up with his kids being home is the most evil part :( soo heartbreaking for the little girl.
I thought he thought his kids were at a family members house that night? Did I miss something?
It’s crazy that their mother’s murderer was the one who ended up “saving” their lives :(
@@tylerrichardson3034yes. The entire video.
@@smagee7548 Or you could have just told me what I actually missed if you knew.
@@tylerrichardson3034😮
“It couldn’t have been Daddy because who will look after us?” sounds like something a 7 year old wouldn’t think of on their own which is just sick to think he manipulated his child with the fear of abandonment. There are no words to describe this monster accurately.
my thoughts exactly. that sounds like he knew she knew it was him and he had to get her to believe its not him
When I was 6, my mom fell and hurt her foot, as she was bending over in silence dealing with the pain, I looked over to my brother and said “omg did my mom die, who is going to take care of us” 😅 of course an innocent kid. But it is something you can think about as a kid, because you know who takes care of you, the authority figure.
This is something my anxiety ridden 3&6 yo have just on their own. If anything changes in their lives they get scared about what's going to happen to them. I think it's a normal anxiety for children that as adults we have so many anxieties that we forget having them as children.
I hate she had to see the trauma of it all. That is awful
@@roxyboxie1016 yeah i agree. that definitely sounds like something i would have worried about on my own at 7 years old. i was a very anxious and neurotic child due to an unstable household environment and family genetics. that being said, this girl probably lived in a very dysfunctional family even before her mother’s murder… not to mention at least her father most definitely has some sort of mental illness. so combine the environment and genetics, and she most likely dealt with anxiety starting at a very young age.
Agreed !! I was thinking the same thing ….no 7 year old thinks about things like that unless it was planted into her mind .
This case scares me so much. I’m currently in the middle of a divorce with a narcissist who thinks he can get away with giving me nothing after 10yrs of marriage and two kids. He tore our family apart due to being selfish and cheating. I tell my family and friends all the time that if I end up gone, he definitely had something to do with it. What some people will do rather than go through a fair divorce is astounding.
Please keep yourself and your children safe. We don't want to hear your story in the future. Please reach out if you need help. You're not alone.
Please stay safe ❤ Document everything- record fights and his rages, screenshot texts, save emails. Everything.

Aww stay safe ❤️❤️❤️

“As you can tell I am not a fan of thomas clayton, in fact.. i fucking hate this guy.” 😂😂
She’s so real for that
👏🏾💜👏🏾
😂
lol. Yeah, tell us how you really feel, Kendall
In all seriousness though, I really hate that this happened to Kelley, and ultimately, their children. I hope there will be healing for this family in the years to come.
“This dickbag” took me out 😂
kendall i literally adore that you aren’t afraid to state how you actually feel about these murderers. its how we all feel by the end of the video too.
It’s gross that she excuses the actions of the guy who actually carried out the murder, and even says stupid things like “at least he was empathetic enough to not burn down the house”. I get the impression she would never be so forgiving or lenient had the murderer been white.
@@ohwellwhateverroh lord, it doesn’t matter what skin color he was. Why did you even have to bring up that last point because it makes no sense, AND you’re looking way too into what she said. She meant at least he had some sort (not excusing his actions and she didn’t either) of change in his mind to not go through with killing the children/ burning the house down. Stop trying to argue for no reason, because it really seems like you’re just looking for things to nitpick instead of actually considering what she meant.
seriously if you hear this story and take issue with the CURSING of all things then your priorities are way off
Insurance companies should have the right to flag a massive increase in spousal insurance.
That hoe of his working in the insurance agency should have been charged too since she knew what he was up to setting him up to get a million dollars thinking she'd have access to it.
And not date their clients.
It's even worse that the agent helping him increase his wife's life insurance started having an affair with him and listened to him constantly talk bad about her. All of that would raise some serious red flags for me.
@50sRockChick and INSTANTLY report it to the police if the person SUDDENLY becomes "unalive" shortly after the increase in coverage... THAT is suspect right there,homie 😒💯💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
I agree and the insured person should be notified of every enacting and every change to the policy.
She hugged her mom's leg......my heart just broke hearing that....(tears)
Me too😢
When she said “cuz his eyes looked like daddy’s” I got chills.
My mom passed away from cancer and I watched her take her last breath. I was 32. I couldn’t imagine watching something like that at 7 years old.
Yes, and with all of that violence, too! I can't even imagine... I think she stayed with her mom for the entire time because she wanted to comfort her and try to somehow help her. The normal reaction to this extreme violence for a young child would be to run away and hide, or try to run for help. I hope she gets the help she needs to heal and recover from this.
im so so sorry. I can relate to your horrendous pain. I watched my little brother pass away in front of me a month ago. and my mom passed a year and a half ago.
I watched my mother take her last breath when i was 7, and i reacted almost the same way. Very unemotional about it but the consciousness hit years later. I could never imagine what it would be like to see her being tragically hurt in front of me though. Poor thing.
i just went through this 3 months ago, i’m 23 and it’s such a battle to keep going some days. this poor girl
As a grown woman who tends to curse too much , I think your profanity is organic and it's one of the things that makes your page yours. It shows you're not just disconnected from these stories and that you're genuinely passionate about it.
Agreed!
I will _never_ understand people who get really uptight about swearing, and seem to care more about the swearing than the thing you're swearing about. Y'all are into true crime but can't handle an F-bomb here and there?
I honestly don't even notice it lol...
You took the words out of my mouth. Kendall shows her genuineness and thats why i prefer her channel to others that are similar or telling the same story...bc she is truly empathetic and trying to bring awareness and meaning to these tragic stories where others dont. Her profanity shows her depth and heart.
Agree 1000%. The swearing is organic and shows you’re passionate! FUCK those two douchecanoes!
Do you mean to tell me that people will click on a video to hear about someone’s murder and clutch their pearls at…. curse words? 😭
i know! murder is way worse but.....people stop at cursing? not the thing that has actually harmed others? like what??
Literally the most justifiable moment to use curse words is when you’re talking about a cold-blooded murderer with no regard for human life!
smh
omg I didn't even think of that😂😂😂 that is ridiculous
@@specializedchemicals6669that’s what you get from religious nutter freaks-murder might be bad but swearing is the worst sin ever 🙄🤮
Childhood only lasts so long, and this monster totally stole the last few innocent years his daughter had left. What an animal.
The perfect description. It’s so awful.
Kendall...i lost my brother when he was 25. My mom said her greatest fear was him being forgotten and she wanted his death and life to have meaning. I really appreciate how you take the time to truly empathetize with the family, get perspective on who the victim was..youre not just telling a gruesome story and exploiting her death for views, like other channels. Youre bringing awareness and meaning to a tragic story and it shows your genuineness. Thats why i prefer your channel to others telling the same story. Thank you for bringing meaning to these victims with depth and heart.
Lovely words ❤ I am very sorry for the loss of your brother 🌸
The fact that he knew the kids would be there and still went on with it 😨 AND HE WANTED TO BURN THE HOUSE DOWN WTH, poor babies 😭
What a sicko
Hearing their daughter Charlie talk about what happened is just heartbreaking… that poor sweet girl.
She sounds very mature for a 6yr old. Her parent i.e., her mother did well raising her to be so mature and caring. That thing with the male genetics over there is a juvenile egocentric thing.
I don’t understand how anyone could do this to another human but to do it, knowing the kids would see or be around is a new level of evil
No parent who loves their child would ever put them though something like that
And imagine a hired murderer having more empathy for the kids than their own father…
@@Trammiliin_nr2lmao are you serious more emphaty after HE KILLED THIER MOTHER IN FRONT OF THEM be for real now
@@Trammiliin_nr2 Didn’t stop him doing it though, did it? That Michael guy is just as evil as Thomas.
To do that to another human being let alone the mother of your children In front of the children is just so inhuman
Thomas knew damn well the kids would be home. He didn’t want any “baggage” left.
Either that or he wanted this memory to be forever etched in their minds. I think that's horrible, but that's how people like that think.
Kendall is giving “I cuss a little” on this episode 🤣🤣I love this podcast and how she tells the story 😌
Hahaha best comment
yeah I get tired of the swearing. I think that we should use better words than cuss words, IMO.
But on a happier note, I love the kitty in the background.
@jeannetteross5352 sometimes you need to swear to let out the amount of emotion you're feeling. Sometimes swear words are what can best describe something.

This case was in my area, literally 20 minutes from my neighborhood, and was very shocking. He was a horrible person and deserved what he got. My friend and I even did a customized bracelet sale for her kids and family at a hockey gamer where he played. That night, the team auctioned off their jerseys to benefit the kids. It was very touching and heart warming that the fans were such big contributors. This, of course, was a few years after it happened. Our hearts still go out to the family and especially the kids.
I remember when this happened. When the trial was going on, purple ribbons for Kelley were hung everywhere - on trees, on signs, on mailboxes. Stuff like this just didn't happen in our hometown. And then it did.
RIP Kelley.
I'm from Corning and used to work at WETM during his sentencing. I remember all of this and the way it felt every time I saw Justice for Kelley or the purple ribbons.
@@mistojenI lived in Horseheads at the time. It was just awful and so shocking. 😢
People still talk about her. She was one of kind 💜
I’m from Binghamton my family knew them very well. I love that the amount of likes on your comment is 607. Our area code what a coincidence!
I didn’t know her personally but am also from the same town. I remember seeing her at Woodhouse’s. I was newly married around the time and it scared me to think that you could be married to someone, going to bed every night and waking up every day together and not really know what was going on inside their head beyond what they wanted you to see. It was like a lifetime movie plot.
How many Chris Watts are there in this sick world
In the animal kingdom, there are many male species that kill females if they've been rejected or kill the females offpsring if they want to impregnate her. I'm starting to think many humans may have similar instincts.
Too freaking many
I LOVE WHEN KENDALL SPEAKS HER EMOTIONS! Don’t feel bad for cursing about this pos
The fact that her 7 year old daughter witnessed her death makes me so mad. I hope that her daughter and son live the rest of their lives knowing how much they are loved and how special their mom was.
Rip Kelly
i think the profanity makes you sound very genuine! i like it a lot. i feel the rage with you. also “what some men will do for sex” FELT THAT
I’m a dispatcher and just watched this. You should do a video on, “Is the caller the killer”. Very interesting tells.

This happened less than two miles from my home. Not that this makes any of this better, but the community really came together for the children. A fund was started for people to donate money for them. I believe the children are with Kelly’s sister. I didn’t know Kelly personally- but I have a lot of friends that did and they had nothing but beautiful things to say about her. Tree’s, businesses, and peoples homes in the area were adorned with purple ribbons. Her death really did affect the entire community.
Crazy that someone would kill anyone let alone your wife and also that you allowed a murder to happen when your child is there. That's evil.
I really love your profanity. Sometimes there are no other words than a really nice four-letter word. And because sometimes I speak that way it makes you even more personable. That being said keep speaking the way you do👍
i totally agree. nothing better than hearing Kendall say what we’re all thinking!
Me too. It gives the vibe like we are sitting here listening to a real every day person not trying to put on a front or character
I agree! It's sad people just can't concentrate on the case and the victims instead of small things like profanity
This!! Definitely makes her more relatable. The people saying she is "vulgar" are insane! If they think Kendall's vulgar,they better stay off the rest of the Internet!!
Literally thinking the same thing. She doesn’t moderate herself like other podcasters and I appreciate her personality with each episode! We can all relate
it says something to me that a lot of these cases involve beautiful (inside AND out), intelligent, amazing people being murdered by selfish, jealous, evil, greedy men
It reminds me of that meme “a murder case always begins with he or she lit up every room, a reminder to bring darkness with you into every room” a joke but also something to consider 🫤😔
I feel like everyone murdered is described in this way because basically, they were someone who didn't deserve to be murdered. @MsKnowitall
Well its interesting when you look at these videos all day compared to like a officer u may know who deal wih the stuff on a regular basis and hear the differences in how they talk about it. Having two parents who's sheriffs and mother retired just last week. I get a good perspective on stuff. That being said. Not just all men. Man i can tell you numerous times she question me about women i talk to because the age thing. The women who set men up. She dealt with mostly women criminals. Anyone i hung with she didnt know "where did you meet them?". Lmao me and my mother matter fact was talking about robberies and how these young men are commiting em in chicago and i stereotyped tbh then she corrected me and said. Theres white, mexican, chinese. Yet ppl just go off what they seen on media lol. Oh and the migrates. They are definitely doing their fair share ive heard
It’s a reflection of the battle of good vs evil going on
Good and evil in every gender and race
I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing true crime channels and almost every single one points you out as one they can’t criticize because you do a lot for the victim’s family or charities. You’re the type of true crime channel that doesn’t tell their story just for views and I’m sure the families appreciate it a lot
I know a lot of people rag on true crime UA-camrs. One of my favorites is Danielle Kirsty. She has so much empathy for her cases.
I'm staying single. The kids, I feel so sad for them, but I am glad they are with their aunt. So glad Kelly got justice. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am crying, the baby hugged her leg in her last moments…this is so incredibly sad
I just discovered your channel last week. Its so incredible ive binged so many episodes. All your work for justice and charities is truly amazing. Thank You for everything you do. ♥️🙏💯
She is a very wonderful and beautiful person. Both her and Josh. I live in Wyoming one state over and I hope to have the pleasure of meeting her someday.
Moi non plus j'ai découvert sa chaîne récemment elle est gentille et honnête tata kendall je l'aime beaucoup 😊
She’s great!! All her videos n channels
Her podcasts are amazing too, if you really enjoy her channel you will love ‘Mile higher podcast’ 🥰 I would love to re live finding Kendall for the first time!!! Welcome to the fam🫶🏼
Yeaaaa welcome 🤗 Kendall is AMAZING
Been out of my domestic violence situation for a little over 5 years now. I def almost lost my life a couple times. I’m so glad to hear that Kendall is spreading awareness on the situation, and it’s even more amazing to see her city come together with the Purple Hearts. Awareness is so important…it’s 2024 and I still hear the phrase “why didn’t you just leave” come up. We have to change the way people see these situations and address them. Thank you Kendall for being such an inspiration to get involved and make a difference. You truly have the most kind soul ❤️❤️
Could you explain why you did not leave, are these men very nice then very nasty, thank you.
I was in the same type of situation. It’s fear. Fear for yourself and most likely the abuser (like mine was) was a narcissist and psychopath. To everyone, he was so sweet and kind but to me he was mean and abusive. I started planning my leaving the day after I found out I was pregnant. I wasn’t able to get out until my son turned 2. He dragged the divorce out, was just awful through the whole thing. You don’t know how hard it is to leave unless you are in the situation. It’s not as easy as it seems. I had to research laws, make sure I had all my paperwork organized so I could put up a good fight in my divorce. I knew if I didn’t get out of there, I would end up dead. I didn’t want my son growing up thinking this is how a boy treats a girl. These men get you scared and isolated. It’s harder than it seems. Please don’t judge a woman who takes the time to leave. It’s terrifying to be in that situation.
It's not easy to leave I was trapped with Narcissistic birth giver and it was so hard to leave but I finally fled.
My heart breaks for Charlie. I have no words. But if she ever sees this, we are all for you and I am so sorry
"couldn't be my dad because who would take care of us".... That broke me. What a statement made by a child.
Michael just should have just went to Kelley and told her what Thomas was planning on doing to her and the house
my oldest son is 7. thinking of him witnessing something like this, especially by the hands of his daddy. it gives me the shivers. poor, sweet girl
It’s unimaginable
HAHAHA “in fact, I fucking hate this guy”
she just said out loud what we were all thinking 😂
Expressive and sensational 😂
Love her honesty
I was married to a narcissist. I had a head injury so bad I couldn't find my house. My ex got me drunk. I drank more that night than probably any other night of my life.
He's a certified first responder and knew damn well that he was skyrocketing the odds that I would die.
When I was out of the brain fog I couldn't reconcile that he wanted me dead. He did.
You are so strong.
I’m glad you made it out ❤
That’s so scary him being a first responder like wtf
I’m so sorry you had to experience that! I’m glad you made it!
I’m so sorry. I remember when I had to look my friend in the face and tell her that her first responder husband wanted her dead. She had a look of shock, anger (at me), and disbelief. She was still in brain fog because she had just had a major surgery. This man was so charming and didn’t let his mask slip for almost 6 years. But boy when it slipped, it was off for good!
what a monster to not do this in the first place, but to do it in front of your CHILD. i was 16 when i watched my mom die in a non-violent way, and it gave me permanent issues. cannot imagine how much worse it is to be so young and the manner of death she witnessed to be so brutal. i hope she has and continues to recieve a lot of help and support. gives me truly unspeakable rage.
My heart breaks when the little girl says she hugged her moms leg after the whole situation. 😭
This case hit so hard. When I saw the hole in the staircase drywall I felt her in that moment. She had no control and I felt so sad.. Thank you for sharing Kelley’s story. ❤ Kendall, you’re amazing and so was she.
I used to do a sport with Charlie. She is the kindest, sweetest girl ever. September 29th, last year, maybe 2 years ago, we had a purple themed practice for Kelley. Our team sat in a circle and Charlie told us how it was her mom's anniversary and all I wanted to do was cry. I felt so bad for Charlie and Cullen. I still have the purple bracelet Charlie gave to the whole team. May Kelley rest in peace. Nobody should ever have to go through this. Nobody deserves this kind of pain.
He upped her life insurance A YEAR before her life was taken. I cannot get over the fact that she lived with him for a year (possibly more) after he started planning her murder. It breaks my heart - she felt safe at home, her children felt safe at home - all the while he was planning to take her life. I can't.
I just can’t fathom how someone could live with with their partner, let them cook you meals, share a bed, clean your clothes, care for them and the children, all the while planning on killing them. It makes me physically sick. If these men are just so greedy for money, why don’t they just go rob a bank etc, rather than killing their families. I am convinced that it is multifaceted, they want money, they want the new girl, they don’t want the children “baggage”, and also, they don’t want their current partner to find someone else. It’s greed & control. Utterly disgusting
It's stuff like this that makes me scared to date. I cannot imagine sleeping next to someone every night thinking you're safe and the person who knows you best in the world is plotting to kill you. Absolutely terrifying
I love it when you curse. It shows your sincerity and honesty. These cases are so sad and ridiculous. Being real about them is the best way to be. I feel you over 9000% 🔥🔥🔥
My father died when I was 6… it really messed me up for years… I haven’t seen anything, so can’t imagine what that poor baby girl is going through…. Hope she gets help she will definitely need…
I have a 7 year old daughter and I cannot fathom how afraid she was in that moment. Her witnessing what happened to her mom is absolutely heartbreaking.
Oh my heart. Sweet Charlie. This story made me so so sad. I have a 6 year old daughter so it hit me really hard. RIP Kelley. You were an amazing mother ❤
I love the fact that you don't hold back. Thanks for the authenticity 🙂
Just got to the "some people don't like my profanity" and I'm floored. SERIOUSLY? She's an adult, they're words, grow up, and don't watch if you don't like it 🤦♀️. It seems really childish to be in her comments with childish things like "oh I wish you wouldn't say such and such" 😂.
Agreed. I also see a lot of people seek out videos like this where you know there will be violence and rough topics and then they whine when those topics come up. You clicked on a video about a serial rapist and you're commenting you're upset that there's sexual violence in this video, for example.
Why are you HERE, then? Take some responsibility for the content you consume. It seems to me that they expect to be coddled from the world. It doesn't work that way, especially when you seek out content you state you can't handle consuming.
I had a sociology professor who liked to drop the F-bomb, I quite enjoyed it.
2 weeks into the semester he gives the class a quick lecture about how if you don't like the profanity he uses, to drop the class, because he's not forcing us to be there. He said to put your adult clothes on and don't come back instead of crying to the ombudsman.
He made a point that a fellow peer and ADULT, complained because she didn't like the profanity he used and it was distracting her from learning. That this student should grow the f up and get used to it, you're in an adult world now, you can't tell on everyone because you have different beliefs.
Then said how the F can he get through teaching a class called SOCIAL PROBLEMS without swearing, that that's a social problem in itself!
He was pretty harsh and felt like he was passive aggressively attacking that student, but he had some good points, similar to yours.
Sometimes profanity is the truest way to describe the feelings you're trying to convey. Seems to be completely justified here. I appreciate the honesty.
Very relatable
It's probably the people who think TV and the radio should also censor curse words.
Michael said, "I'm a monster, but I'm not a "kill kids" monster".
It took forever for the ad to close before I could comment. Thank for your detailed coverage of this case as I’ve heard of it before but not handled so sensitively. Thomas is a narcissistic, evil scumbag who cared nothing for his wife or his children!! My heart breaks for her family, especially for her precious children. I’m so glad they’re growing up in a safe and loving home. I’ll never understand why spouses think murder is preferable to divorce! This case has made me sick to my stomach!
I've never understood that either
First... Do NOT apologize for being you. Call them as you see 'em. If people can't handle a little potty mouth, well, who needs them.
Second... Absolutely this piece of garbage engineered the desperation of another person. No question.
Third and most importantly... I wish for those children only the best things. I hope they can find love and peace.
Therapy, with a really, really good therapist and lots of it.
Thanks Kendall.
“And then I hugged her leg” is something that is never going to leave my thoughts now. I can’t even imagine. I don’t feel like I deserve to complain about my childhood after hearing that. Poor babies. I hope she gets all the help throughout her life ❤️
This happened in my hometown. My brother knows the underage girl he was having an affair with and her family. The whole thing is so heartbreaking. It hits closer to home when it’s people you know.
Wow crazy
Kendall, I love that you don’t judge victims on their profession or life choices! You are amazing!
I for one love your profanity! To me it is more honest and genuine than holding things in because someone might not like it! So Thank You for being you Kendall!
That dude is sick man - god bless Kelly’s family and their poor children
You are completely right, sometimes there isn’t any words but profanity to describe what evil lives on this planet. My heart breaks for her kids 😢
I am crying 😭 this is absolutely heartbreaking and unimaginable. The trauma that that precious 7 YEAR OLD went through is just beyond words. What a monster he is to have this done. I’m just truly heartbroken. She will have trauma the rest of her life. He’s basically just messed her up for life and he doesn’t even care, obviously. 😢
These stories that include these helpless, innocent, beautiful children hit so much harder after you become a mom. ❤
I grew up in western ny and heard of this case growing up and it’s devastating!!! Thank you for spreading light ❤
I don’t mind your profanity! It truly shows how passionate you are about these cases, and it’s totally understandable! These cases are difficult and frustrating to learn about. Your efforts are not in vain! You’re truly appreciated!
I love your language, because it echoes what I’m usually sayin/yellin. Please don’t apologize for being yourself, it makes me feel more like you’re in my livin room drinkin coffee talkin about a case.
Kendall, I appreciate your swears while telling these stories. These things are outrageous, and your disgust is appropriate. Thank you for everything you do.
Please do a video on Victoria Marquina missing from small town Amador county where she was a highschooler- she was last seen with her 21 year old boyfriend who was arrested but released due to only circumstantial evidence she’s been missing since 2019!!!! I grew up in this town please consider giving this family and case the spotlight!
Don’t worry about swearing, I don’t usually swear (though in Ireland cursing is very casual, it’s used as filler words)
but with this case, ugh it was needed.
I’d call this guy a human piece of garbage but that’s an insult to garbage.
I can’t image the stress and pain this women was put through, thinking her children were next.
And that little girl seeing what happened. Heartbreaking.
Though if she hadn’t seen, she might not have been seen and the house might have been burnt down.
Too sad.
The women from the life insurance, what was she thinking. This guy is upping his’s wife (who he hate apparently) her life insurance…no alarm bells ringing there girl?! Best case, they get divorced and the policy would change names anyway so…🤔 how did she miss the red flags.
HIS* wife
Not to mention, you can't take life insurance out on someone w/o them signing the paperwork. I wonder if Kelly actually knew about it...or did he sign it & the insurance gf looked the other way 🤔
@@rayray80234there was another case about a couple who was helping out a younger woman and they took insurance out on her and then killed her. And apparently they had done it with other individuals as well. So I don’t know if that holds true everywhere.
I would like to say I appreciate your profanity and it makes the story more real. Makes me feel like I’m hearing it from a human or a friend as opposed to uptight, unsympathetic reporter.
So horrific, definitely a narcissist! Glad the kids are okay and the killers are behind bars!
I appreciate your storytelling, candor, and authenticity as well as all the donations you make-rare for true crime creators. Thank you. 💛
"A fraction of a brain cell" 😂😂 I love your phrases, Kendall!
He has a reptilian basic needs driven brain. No intelligence or empathy for him. He was really was a walking p.nis.
My favorite episodes are when you get passionate enough to call them by the fowl names these people are. Thank you for sharing and freedom of speech babe!!
It breaks my heart how in an instant a life can be put out senselessly and over the most ridiculous reason. One moment someone is here, breathing and laughing with family. And then in an instant they are gone, leaving behind only memories and family...
Sending out my prayers to Kellys' family and children
I love your emotional involvement, that's what makes you unique to all these cases. I totally get it.
Hi Kendall, I appreciate how you handle these cases, you show empathy when you talk about them and you actually support services to help people.
Keep doing what you do and set the bar for these other true crime tubers.
I love the fact how compassionate you are about the victims the way you explain these sad stories is incredible
My mom died from being sick when I was 8. I cannot even imagine that pain and trauma this little girl experienced as she watched what happened to her mother. Losing someone to sickness was hard enough on me as a kid but I cannot imagine having to witness something like this, even now as an adult.
Hearing that her daughter witnessed her murder and she remembered her mom telling her to run away...that broke me. How can you send someone to kill your wife, knowing your child is in the house...how can you hurt someone with their child literally watching you do it...I just...I can't fathom those things. What an absolutely selfish piece of complete garbage her husband is. I hope her kids can grow up as healthily as possible and get to remember their mom fondly with the rest of their loved ones.
My daughter is 6 and although they are still so young they understand so much, truly heartbreaking. I hope she is surrounded by people helping her get through that trauma
I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and when Charlie said she hugged her moms leg that completely broke me 💔 💔💔
I love your description of how wonderful a mother she was!!!
THANK YOU KENDALL
i requested this one. after watching 20/20 and seeing how courageous her daughter is, i became captivated with this case.
I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SWEAR it literally takes me out everytime cause its so sincere and authentic, and I always agree!!!
Dont apologize for your passion and outrage on unnecessary case.
From the first “phuckn audacity”. I said out loud “oh shes mad mad, Its going to be a good video, this guy did something to piss you off.” I can see now after watching the whole video. I just don’t understand ppls mindset sometimes. How they can justify murder instead of divorce. Its truly scary.
You don't get the life insurance policy from divorce.
As a local, thank you so much for covering this story!
I love your profanity! It shows how real you are and how much you care about a case!. Keep on being yourself!.
“And then I hugged her leg” her poor little girls words ripped my heart right out. I hope she’s okay.
I like you not filtering what you say, honestly. Something awful awful happened and it should be able to be described that way. 💔 RIP
