My daughter is 4. That cop having to regain his composure had me wiping my eyes. It doesn’t matter how bad you screw up, don’t kill your family to hide your shame.
You have to have always been a narcissistic psychopath to do this I think. And the fact he was doing all this outrageous scamming is another clue that that's what it was.
@@siouxd799 sorry..but i find it a bit insensitive to bring up the dog in a case like this. Who gives a shit sbout the dog, a 4 year old girl was murdered.
@@raudeloruna2600 it’s not insensitive and there’s no need to be rude, the point is the dog is also defenceless, it goes without saying that a little girl being killed by her own father is horrific.
He is a classical family annihilator. “My family would be so ashamed they wouldn’t want to live.” So he helped them out. Damn shame he didn’t start with himself.
Totally textbook. The minute I heard he was a PT but was wealthy, had money coming out his ears and that huge staff of assistants I knew it. The PT therapy and Medicaid fraud is well known and FBI have been going after it for over a decade.
Ah...you hit on it. Makes sense now. He was mentally able to rationalize the fraud scam-and also able to rationalize the murder of his family-to keep the Lie intact. Which was - He was not as successful as he appeared. (voted Most likely to succeed in high school)...he couldn't come to grips with admitting that to his family, better that they die. The past history with his father (Wow!) And the letter he sent to his father (filled with lies)...what exactly did he witness as a child when his father did the same thing?
It’s the people who should probably start with themselves that never do. Wouldn’t know if anyone was ashamed if he’s dead anyway. Cannot believe how sick this dude is.
I can never understand these where protection of ego is so important that you would rather murder your wife and own children rather than just say " sorry guys I fucked up can you forgive me". ??
The poor sheriff almost lost it when it came to the baby. The respect I have for cops, nurses, firefighters, EMT's and all first reponders is tremendous..
It’s the first time I hear a murderer actually get charged with the murder of his pup. I am so glad he did because the dog was another innocent life taken in a brutal way.
That’s because most murderers (even the most brutal, depraved, and notorious of the lot) _don’t_ kill their own pets, and many never kill any animals at all, despite what poorly-researched, sloppily-written tabloids and dodgy clickbait listicles would have you believe. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley (the infamous ‘Moors Murderers’), for instance, were both noted animal lovers, as were serial killers Dennis Nilsen and John Wayne Gacy, murderous mob boss James ‘Whitey’ Bulger, _Reichsmarschall_ Hermann Göring, and, famously, even Adolf Hitler himself. David ‘Son of Sam’ Berkowitz did, at times, commit acts of violence against animals, but at least it can be said that he had enough respect for that one dog to ‘pick up what he was throwing down’.
@@bryangarcia5599 ...And tons more DID kill animals, especially in childhood. But you're really getting cause and effect mixed up here. Abusing animals is a predictor of violence towards humans later in life. Being a murderer isn't a predictor of also hurting animals.
I never imagined I could hate someone as much as I hate Chris Watts, so here’s this guy. It makes me sick to my stomach that he actually stayed with their bodies in the house for weeks. What a monster.
Watts haunts me. I hope they keep him UNDER the jail... There is soooo much more to that tragedy; we may NEVER know what happened. Too bad he never cracked his Bible BEFORE his horrific actions.
Same. You can hear him starting to break and escalating as he's naming each child, the 13 year old, breaks a bit more with the 11 year old, then with Zoe it's like he just couldn't say it. I could feel from his voice he would lose it so was already bawling at that point. So sad :(
My eyes filled with tears as well.😢 Why are some people so evil?? She was a beautiful little girl with a head full of curls. I can’t imagine how terrified these children were. May they all Rest In Peace. ♥️
Yes! That was such a gut-punch for me to see as well. Knowing that, as a police chief, he's doubtless seen some terrible things in his time, yet seeing how much this particular crime got to him? You know it had to have been bad. Really bad. Just pure tragedy. So horrible.
When you see an officer choked up describing the awful scene it hits that much harder. I can’t imagine, with this case, how difficult this scene was. Those poor babies 😩
I do believe that officer felt horrible about describing that scene and talking about the victims, especially the 4 year old. BUT. I watched that part over and over. When he choked up. Does anyone think he may have added that for the cameras without feeling that heavy of emotion at the time he was reading that? I watched his eyes. He started off reading from the paper, then looking up to the audience, like you do when speaking to a crowd or a speech. He continued doing this right after the "emotion" he was feeling and looked the same as when he started. When people get so emotional that it halts their words, they stop speaking, I've notice most of them can't immediately go back to having the same normal eye contact with the audience again. There are no micro expressions of grief or pain on his face during that moment. It looks like half of his mouth moves upwards, which usually means contempt. There is no movement in his eyebrows, especially in between, drawing together. There is no micro inflammation that comes into the eyes that happens when feeling emotion before there are even tears. His chest doesn't hitch or appear that he is holding his breath from the emotion he would be feeling. Plus, when feeling an emotion like that, it isn't fleeting. Words that could have triggered those emotions, such as reading about the 4 year old, the brain processes the information, the emotion is felt but it carries on even if speaking past the point of what triggered it. This officer goes right back into normal speech. At no point does any stress come into his speech at all. Emotions that stop someone's speech limit involve breathing and their vocal cords. I KNOW he believes it to be awful, horrible. I'm just saying, I've been watching body language analysts on UA-cam. I believe this man knows it will be a huge case and threw that in there. He observed that when people get emotional like that, the most noticable thing is they stop speaking and seem to struggle to speak again. Logan and his channel Observe has taught me so much. Watch Patsy and John Bennett Ramsey video. Logan explains that John shows emotion and then seconds later it is gone. He points an area when Patsy get emotional and she keeps feeling that pain. Sure the officer doesn't feel the same pain he would if he were related to the victims, but he is portraying an emotion he isn't feeling at the time.
@@jessicalynn6285 police officers get desensitized, so they wouldn’t have as strong a reaction as a random person, but it would seem weird for him to be stoic, so he is purposefully adding more emotion. That’s my take on it anyway.
@@Kerbedis1 I do not think it's a good thing to analyze people's reactions in the face of tragedy or grief as if we know how THEY felt at the time. Sure they can become desensitized after seeing horrific things over and over, but a case like this I imagine is quite rare. That an entire family would be decimated by the patriarch, including their children. This is my take on it -- the cop has kids, too. It's not just the murder of one child. It's the murder of all of them including the mother by their own father. Assuming he is a father himself it's VERY believable to me that he would have an emotional reaction to it, but whether or not it seems legitimate to us or not really isn't fair for us to decide as people process grief in different ways.
That's what Chris Watts tried to claim during his first "confession" as a family annihilator. First he said his wife killed the kids and he killed her because she killed the kids. The truth came out in the end, as it always does.
Yeah, this was a house of cards. It was getting ready to tumble down & he was what? Gonna spare them? I don’t get it. That coupled w/ the trauma of his fathers crimes against his mother & not being the most respected successful man he portrayed himself to be. He probably went his whole life proving he was a better man than his father & in the end he was so much like him. He couldn’t even kill himself after ALL that. And now he has the “Watts-Nerve” to blame his poor dead wife for it all!!! It all says so much.
Probably haven't owned gun and all other ways of suicide are lets be honest panful. Could be reason he was high as shit when FBI arrived had no balls to kill himself so yea lets drink and swallow pills. Also that mention of world ending from his sister seems kinda off and weird
Never realized you put out a video on this. Chrissy is close family friend with my parents and this absolutely tore her and their family apart. Super sad hearing her talk to the dispatchers. She’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet you can tell she knew something was wrong
Seeing that Christmas picture of the family and the dog is what got me, I'm married with 3 kids and I just don't understand how people can do this and this guy had a good life, my life sucks right now but my family is what keeps me from giving up.
Ik some can't have kids or find a partner and this pos throws them away bc of money not that any reason is a good one. It's funny he thinks he's getting out though.
Ugh,... I know right?! What the ACTUAL f*ck. This guy definitely seems to have taken some notes from that loser Watts- poor excuse for a human being, both of them!
He said that? And after that he dumped the kids in oil and buried his wife? If someone is going to burn in hell forever it's him. Tell Hitler I said hi!
@@christiannilsen2835 he killed his wife either prior to killing his 2 little girls or after (it’s been debated), buried his wife at the oil site and then put his deceased girls bodies each in separate oil well/drums. THEN, when backed into a corner, he chose to blame his wife, after one of the detectives basically put that “theory” out there to him. Well, he took it and ran with it. Of course, thankfully his wife made all these beautiful videos of her with her kids, so no one (except some loony toons) believed him, thankfully!! Even if she hadn’t made all those videos, no one would believe him. Like they don’t believe this POS didn’t kill his own family and that instead, his wife did it all. So sad.
Absolutely agree. Some people don't understand how important humor is to healthily processing some of the darkest parts of humanity... Y'all have never met any first responders or medical staff if you think Mike's humor is off.
Hahahaha, that was hilarious. People that die near narcissists are always so quick to compliment them as they have their last breath. Give me a break... smh
The old last standing in a mass murder defense. * I was spared/ I luckily escaped * I wasn't around when it happened *It was a murder suicide committed by *blank*family member
Hey Mike, I have one story for you. I hope you get to read this comment. I watch your videos almost daily but this one never showed up on my feed until today. This is good because out of about one hundred potential jurors, I was selected as one of the 12. I’m so glad that we did the right thing in finding him guilty on all charges and I hope that we honored the wife and children’s lives by giving this monster the Justice he deserved. This was my first time ever in a jury. Every time I close my eyes, I still see the horrible photos we had to examine during the trial. Some of the jurors went back to the courtroom to see the sentencing. I cried a lot when I came home after the sentencing was done and this horrible chapter was finally over.
I’m so glad he got what he deserves. Thank you for your service on the jury. Such a tragedy for the victims. Rest In Peace to all who lost their lives. Hope you have found peace and closure. Bless you and your family
I actually lived in the same apartment buildings with this family for a couple years before the murders. Rode the elevator with the boys and their dog almost daily. They always seemed happy. This news was crazy and effected the entire town.
Could've been a number of things it could've reminded him of one of his own children or family members or just the shear depravity of the crime. People often forget police officers are human too,they aren't all hard asses with no heart. I'm sure I couldn't do what LEO's do everyday,seeing death on the daily and then trying to compose myself for a press conference. Rip Todt family 💜
Only one close I can remember is Shanna Liz Golyar. She was convicted of second-degree arson for the fire that killed her two dogs, cat, and snake. Though it's possible the sentence would have been the same either way.
Im so sorry Tony..I cant even imagine your grief sir....my heart and prayers go out to you and that you may be able to move on..I understand exactly what you mean about moving on..I pray your STRENGTH!!!!
Following the six-day trial, Todt was sentenced to four consecutive terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole. He was also sentenced to one year in county jail for killing their dog.Apr 25, 2022
The phone conversation. "What's up cheese puff".. That greeting there does it. He is a manipulative narcissist. A dangerous psychopath fully aware of what he done.
What a horrible coward blaming his wife. It always gets to me when I see a cop struggling to continue when discussing crimes, particularly older cops who have seen so much. Thank you again Mike for an interesting, but disturbing video. I love you presentation 🥰
@rsullivanphotography Thank you for letting us know. I am so glad he got punished (although not enough) for killing little Breezy. Those eyes on that dog! It broke my heart he stabbed the dog.
As soon as I saw the picture of the family in front of the Christmas tree in matching pajama sets, I knew what happened. Every family annihilator has that same picture, so creepy! Anyone else notice that 🤔 weird huh...
Yeah, lots of people have that picture. But maybe it IS related. Like people who are very image obsessed are more likely to have that picture pose, and people who are image obsessed are more likely to murder their entire family rather murder than have their image sullied in the eyes of their family? I don’t know. I gave it a goo.
Great video Mike, thanks for the upload. How can you live with your dead family for 2 and a half weeks and then say you don't remember anything? If my family was dead for one hour I would notice. What a sick man. Prayers go out to that poor family. 🙏🙏😔
Not just over the past year, he’s one of the best of all of them. His storytelling abilities, dark humor and killer editing skills make him off the chain in my book. Keep it up Mikey we’re loving it!
Mike: "Please if you can do anything for me-" Me: "Mike, I hit like as soon as I start your videos." Mike: "- you can take care of yourself." Me: *cries* "thank u"
Stephanie Harlowe is doing the looong version of this if anyone is interested. I'm so intrigued, I can't wait for her part 2. Thank you, *That Chaper* for sharing the shorthand version of this tragedy. RIP to the Todt family & Breez (fyi- Breezy was 5 yrs old).
This man tried to act like his wife was insane, when homie LIVED IN THE HOUSE WITH ROTTING BODIES! And if he was trying to like "spare the shame" for his family. Why did he go after the dog? That dog doesn't know anything about what happened.
@@TheJthom9 sometimes it’s not about how the dog is more important, it’s about what this action showed if that makes sense. Like you already done the killing you need, killing the dog is just so unnecessarily cruel and really shows that there’s nothing left in the murder that make them human
This is why Mike is head and shoulders above most UA-camrs: instead of asking us to like and subscribe he asks us to take care of ourselves. Warms my heart every time ❤
"Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands, that I even knew they were dead..." -Tony
Tony is kept in isolation for his own safety. Two things felons hate: 1. Family Annihilators 2. Dog abusers They would have given him a death sentence no doubt. Thanks Mike! 😊♥️
David no I’ve been to a level 3 in CA he would have had his paperwork checked and his charges are bad. They would have forced a crash dummy to crash out and stab him or at the very least roll him off the yard. Stop talking unless you been to a level 3 or 4. One and twos are daycares
@@mylesepps4950 If you don't mind me asking, is the paperwork something that inmates can see, if they work in the office/admin bit, or is that something that the guards pass along?
Thepanpiper You can just call somebody to look it up or when your going through classification for placement you have your paperwork and stuff with you in your belongings.
@A. E. Harrison Yeah, no. She's asking for a welfare check because something is clearly wrong. Thinking your sibling has wiped out their family is not going to be the first conclusion jumped to!
@A. E. Harrison Yea id like to hear the full transcript of that call.Pretty weird thing to bring up on a wellness check and why didnt she mention that on the first call.?
He’s not even remorseful. He shows no emotion, like “I can’t believe my children are dead.” I can’t wait for forensics to prove that he did it by the stab wounds on his wife. And once they prove that, he’ll probably change his story to: “well I stabbed her because she killed our children..” 🙄🙄 this world is f’ed up..
Dude probably turned crazy back when his mom was shot. Genetics-the whole nature and nurture thing was f’d up the day he was born. How he was able to hide his psychopathy from his wife is beyond me. My heart goes out to his children, wife and pet.
Please make part 2 of this once the trial is finished as it's going on right now. Also, the details and hard work you put in your storytelling are just next level. I hope you continue making these videos for a long time. Thanks🙂👍🏻
I'm fasting for Ramadan and have been binge watching everything on your channel to pass time while I craft and clean up. Thanks for (nearly) healing my thirst & hunger.
I want to ask you a question, but I don’t want you to think I’m being mean or hateful. It’s a serious question about your faith...I’m very interested and I don’t have any friends that I can ask. Would it be ok for me to ask you? If it makes you uncomfortable....You don’t have to answer after you see my question. 😊✌🏻
IceKid2009 Thank you! :) It’s always a shock to the body for me these first few days, but Alhamdulillah I got through it! Wishing you a month of inspiration and blessings.
I like him, but some of his jokes and inflections bother me at times, takes you out of the seriousness of the matter. By, then again, some comic relief is always necessary
The insanity of society is everyone is just a order of events away from this or self destruction. I had this epiphany when I learned of the interview some girl that visited Adolf Hitler had described how nice and funny and charming he was and there was even some video footage of her arriving and speaking to him. I couldnt believe someone who orchestrated such unimaginable destruction and hatred could be completely and utterly normal in his personality. Humanity's potentiality is our most frightening aspect.
Exactly it's so disturbing how many ppl are out there posing as "normal". It's so scary I've seen it before. We freaked out like my handyman was a pedophile. It Was Crazy.
The thing is that there are ppl that do not so ok stuff but ppl around them make excuses and act like it is normal behaviour. The more powerful or elite they are, the more is tolerated. Like I know a guy with full basement of guns, he takes photos of his kids with those guns and he has a bit of an angry issues. But because he was a manager, everyone took it like a cool hobby and photos with the kids cute. We do not live in a country where having a gun is normal. I can imagine that if person like him did something, everyone would act surprised and be like "omg but he was so normal"
@@SuperOmegaBerserker to suggest EVERYONE is capable of not only murdering a woman, 3 kids and a dog, BUT YOUR ACTUAL FAMILY, with just an “order of events” is incredibly disturbing 😳
@@ILLeeT36 I mean if the KGB take your for 16 years and mentally indoctrinate you to be a terrorist and tell you to do It then yea. that's an order of events and it is disturbing. Dont mean it isnt true. Most people who work with children do it to be close with them to traffic them or molest them is that disturbing? Yea it's also fucking true. Cry me a river pansy
this was my ex boyfriend’s roommate’s doctor. he said that the guy seemed pretty normal & friendly until he moved away, where he apparently snapped. rip to this poor family and god bless their loved ones.
Well..he moved away because he'd been busted by Feds. Federal prison isn't something you can avoid. Family Annihilators will wipe out every. Single. Person. when they are suddenly outed. Hacking, Peterson, Watts... there are thousands of them. Secret lives....fraud...anything that wipes their facade away. Never confront someone you know has a secret life!! Just get out. My family saved me because they didn't give me a chance to confront him. Later I discovered how much danger I was in.
@@mrs.schmenkman im very glad you’re finally safe, and so sorry you had to experience this extremity of evil! you’re completely right, they’re “normal, nice” until they get caught. thank you for saying this! i commented before i finished the video... makes his facade that much spookier
The mind of Tony Tony: "Your honor I don't remember anything but I do remember my wife did it" Judge: "I believe you your free to go" Tony mind: "Yeah that will show em"
Not only Watts. There is a slew of them. Scott Peterson and Todd Hacking would be the same thing. Never ever confront someone who has a secret life, and never ever turn your eye from someone who's clearly got secrets. Just get out and away. No forwarding address. Family Annihilators wipe out generations in one swipe.
@@mrs.schmenkman Sounds like you, in hindsight, are blaming the victims for "confronting" their murderers. Killing your partner over debts or an affair obviously isn't part of the ordinary, most just work it out or get a divorce.
Adam Englund No, you are correct. I'm talking about secret lives..not just a little debt or an affair. Wtf is people's obsession with blaming people? Who gives a flying fig who's to "blame"? That's so immature. I'm warning others, never ever trust someone who's living a secret life. They gave up the right to be trusted. These people are the most dangerous. Family Annihilators are a real thing.
Thank you for spending a little extra time explaining what happened to the dog. I feel like the dogs don't get enough respect, but some of us love them like our kids ❤️
Yes, Krysta! Bravo for this comment. I TOTALLY agree. We already don't deserve their love and loyalty and we should NEVER forget them when they too, are murdered. Big love to you, fellow dog lover.
Lmfao! I can't unsee this now. I hope his lawyer gives him a white shirt and a dark suit for his trial - if so I'll be photoshopping a picture of him at his trial. Make his suit look like Cobblepot's full outfit, add a top hat, cane, hair and matching make-up to pull the entire look off to make him look like like an on-the-nose cosplay.
@@DeViLzzz2006 yes, i just did. Its relevant, because its about this murderous loser, and its intelligent because i are SMAHT! Now go back to being a sad little troll.
@@zacharyberridge7239 I am not a sad troll. I actually come here to talk about the cases and I also come to promote the death penalty. Clearly you do otherwise.
Imo Mike is by FAR...the best. Its not even close imo. In a few years he'll have like 10 million subs..you just watch. His content is well researched, concise, clear, and he's a likeable person
Been around when he was small and people were saying he should blow up and well he no longer comments on my posts. I don't think he wants to piss anyone off by saying anything really substantial so he keeps all the viewers. I like the channel but making money is a thing that he has to think about. It is unfortunate as I would like to hear his views on things.
That "sigh" of his sister after he said it was him on the line...She did not want to talk to him, but stayed polite because of family. I feel bad for her. She even tried to tell the police that something was wrong...And now he is telling her this bullcrap.
I’m not so sure just because she knew it was him long before he started talking. When someone calls you from jail there is a long robotic voice telling you your getting a call from whatever jail/prison, who it is, and ask if they accept the charges. I think she genuinely cares for him, and was actually relieved to hear his voice as crazy as that sounds. I have a hard time believing anyone would care for this man, but it seems like people do. He must have had some redeeming qualities before all this happened, strangely enough.
He's not the first family annihilator to use the wife did it excuse. Sick to think they blame their victim for their crimes. 🤢 One a side note, it's so scary to think that one could be married to a literal psychopath for decades and not knowing their true nature until they become a victim.
Honestly, I have been dating the same man since high school as well and I plan to marry him But how do you truly know who you’re marrying? I am excited for our future but there’s also this nagging fear that this could be me and my children.
@@cocolime6496 True, but there is something concerning about someone who has made a living on taking care of ones body not taking care of their own. I am not saying you have to be buff but he is far from fit.
Serial killer Steven Kraft who murdered over 30 men and was literally caught with his final victim in his car still continues insist he is innocent decades later Makes you really think
The poor Sheriff when he got to the age of the four year old, he barely held it together. God bless these law enforcement officers, the things they see and deal with my goodness.

I am a medical biller and fraud is a HUGE deal. I have to be so on point with everything & make sure our medical providers aren’t billing what they shouldn’t.
My “cousin” was a chiropractor and this story sounds so similar! He was doing drugs, having multiple affairs with his nurses, and fraudulently billing ins. Companies. He ended up going to jail, all while his young pregnant wife took care of the kids. So very sad! It was his nurse that turned him in. And yes, his wife stayed married to him 🤦🏼♀️
It sucks because it's caused the billing codes to become so overly specific in response and yet it still goes on unabated. The corrupt ones will just keep being corrupt I guess
@@Etherman7 SO specific. The codes we use regularly are not only specific to the services rendered, but the degrees our providers have, as well as what type of insurance our clients have. Then you have the modifiers that narrow it down even more...
I have heard of several cases like this. Why some men think their family would rather be dead than financially ruined is beyond me. And they are such narcissists that they can kill their kids, but not take their miserable lives. Cowards.
There are several family annihilator stories similar to this. Father gets into financial trouble so he decided that his family cannot live on without him. He plans to off himself after executing his family but gets cold feet.
The trial is rescheduled for Jan 2022 now. Praying for justice for those little ones and the wife whose memory he is tarnishing to save his own criminal ass.
It's a tragic pattern. Successful husband/father over extended and in trouble somehow can't stand for his family to see him as a failure and decides to kill them instead. I don't understand why but the ego can't allow it. Terrible.
It appears to be rooted in a form of narcissism where the person views his/her family not as separate individuals, but as extensions of himself/herself. The person is probably certain that the family feels that way too. The person feels entitled to pull the plug on the family if a situation arises (in this case, possible bankruptcy) that could change this dynamic.
Man, why does it always have to be a fight over „Whose life is more precious?“... of course it‘s unbelievably cruel what this monster has done to his children and his wife and this pos should get the worst of the worst punishment for that, but my heart *also* cries out for the dog. Nothing wrong with that and I‘m sure L.S. just wanted to say, that it‘s a good thing they charged him for the killing of the dog as well - because this matters as well.🐾❤️🐾
Zoe sadly was so small and found at her mothers feet wrapped in a blanket tightly like her brothers . Her brothers were found on the mattress beside the bed , they were also holding a crucifix. So brutal and beyond comprehension. Stephanie Harlowe , another UA-cam creator has done a phenomenal job in every single minute detail on this case among others. Check her out
20:24 "Your attorney has waived the reading of the charges...." No kidding. The last thing he wants is all those prisoners behind him finding out he killed children.
I said the same thing! But you know.. once they don’t read the charges then you know somethings up. And the inmates will dig for the info. Hopefully he gets what’s coming.
What’s the big deal? Poppy predicted the pandemic _years_ ago (see her video ‘How to Apply Your Mask’, posted _20 March 2017_ ), and she’s not creepy at _all._
Was that only from him? His sister mentioned something about it in the second welfare check, but I was wondering if they were both doomsday cultists ever after that point in the video. Edit: Just rewatched. At 7:30, his sister mentions putting it all together from a comment her sister-in-law made about the end of the world. Not totally implausible that the victims here were the kids and the dog. It’s not as rare as you’d think for a mother to kill her children if she believes she’s protecting them from something worse.
Just sentenced the other day. Life with no parole and 1 year for the dog. Apparently not only did he stab them, he laid on top of them until they suffocated. What a bastard.
I like that the prosector didn’t leave out the death of the dog and charged him with animal cruelty
Finally someone posted about the dog.
It annoys me that it's just listed as animal cruelty and not animal murder.
Yes! The small little sliver of joy I got from that

It’s the first time I hear a murderer actually get charged with the murder of his pup. I am so glad he did because the dog was another innocent life taken in a brutal way.
Finally someone bringing this up
That’s because most murderers (even the most brutal, depraved, and notorious of the lot) _don’t_ kill their own pets, and many never kill any animals at all, despite what poorly-researched, sloppily-written tabloids and dodgy clickbait listicles would have you believe. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley (the infamous ‘Moors Murderers’), for instance, were both noted animal lovers, as were serial killers Dennis Nilsen and John Wayne Gacy, murderous mob boss James ‘Whitey’ Bulger, _Reichsmarschall_ Hermann Göring, and, famously, even Adolf Hitler himself. David ‘Son of Sam’ Berkowitz did, at times, commit acts of violence against animals, but at least it can be said that he had enough respect for that one dog to ‘pick up what he was throwing down’.
@@bryangarcia5599 ...And tons more DID kill animals, especially in childhood. But you're really getting cause and effect mixed up here. Abusing animals is a predictor of violence towards humans later in life. Being a murderer isn't a predictor of also hurting animals.
@@amityislandchum thank you! I was just getting ready to reply, but you summed it up rather nicely. ✌🏻😊
Well, technically "murder" means the killing of a human by a human. But I agree with the sentiment.
I never imagined I could hate someone as much as I hate Chris Watts, so here’s this guy. It makes me sick to my stomach that he actually stayed with their bodies in the house for weeks. What a monster.
Totally agree.
I probably hate Grant Amato more than this guy
Yes, agreed..... oh.....but maybe - the monster crashed in the condo and Disneyville?
Watch the one about Josh Powell.. it makes me want to cry and cringe just thinking about it.
Watts haunts me.
I hope they keep him UNDER the jail...
There is soooo much more to that tragedy; we may NEVER know what happened.
Too bad he never cracked his Bible BEFORE his horrific actions.
Can we all agree that over the past year Mike has been the BEST true Crime UA-camr by a far
Absolutely
Yep!
I suppose I could agree to that.
This is the realest shit I read all day
28k in less then 30 minutes! I bet a lot of people agree, I sure do.
Actually cried when that officer had to pause after saying the 4 yr olds name...this was a heavy one mike but you did it respectfully x
Same. You can hear him starting to break and escalating as he's naming each child, the 13 year old, breaks a bit more with the 11 year old, then with Zoe it's like he just couldn't say it. I could feel from his voice he would lose it so was already bawling at that point. So sad :(
Same here. I had to pause the video at that point. When a police officer who has probably seen it all gets choked up, you know it's bad.
Same here
same that was wild for even a cop to be that disturbed
😒
I felt for the police chief when he was reading out the announcement and got choked up when he got to the youngest child's birthday :( so so sad.
My eyes filled with tears as well.😢
Why are some people so evil?? She was a beautiful little girl with a head full of curls. I can’t imagine how terrified these children were. May they all Rest In Peace. ♥️
Same, he paused and had to get it together to be able to continue reading. It baffles me, why, but why... children that JUST STARTED LIVING. Insane.
Yes! That was such a gut-punch for me to see as well. Knowing that, as a police chief, he's doubtless seen some terrible things in his time, yet seeing how much this particular crime got to him? You know it had to have been bad. Really bad.
Just pure tragedy. So horrible.
Very 😥
Me too. That was pretty gut wrenching.
When you see an officer choked up describing the awful scene it hits that much harder. I can’t imagine, with this case, how difficult this scene was. Those poor babies 😩
So true
I do believe that officer felt horrible about describing that scene and talking about the victims, especially the 4 year old. BUT. I watched that part over and over. When he choked up. Does anyone think he may have added that for the cameras without feeling that heavy of emotion at the time he was reading that? I watched his eyes. He started off reading from the paper, then looking up to the audience, like you do when speaking to a crowd or a speech. He continued doing this right after the "emotion" he was feeling and looked the same as when he started. When people get so emotional that it halts their words, they stop speaking, I've notice most of them can't immediately go back to having the same normal eye contact with the audience again. There are no micro expressions of grief or pain on his face during that moment. It looks like half of his mouth moves upwards, which usually means contempt. There is no movement in his eyebrows, especially in between, drawing together. There is no micro inflammation that comes into the eyes that happens when feeling emotion before there are even tears. His chest doesn't hitch or appear that he is holding his breath from the emotion he would be feeling. Plus, when feeling an emotion like that, it isn't fleeting. Words that could have triggered those emotions, such as reading about the 4 year old, the brain processes the information, the emotion is felt but it carries on even if speaking past the point of what triggered it. This officer goes right back into normal speech. At no point does any stress come into his speech at all. Emotions that stop someone's speech limit involve breathing and their vocal cords. I KNOW he believes it to be awful, horrible. I'm just saying, I've been watching body language analysts on UA-cam. I believe this man knows it will be a huge case and threw that in there. He observed that when people get emotional like that, the most noticable thing is they stop speaking and seem to struggle to speak again. Logan and his channel Observe has taught me so much. Watch Patsy and John Bennett Ramsey video. Logan explains that John shows emotion and then seconds later it is gone. He points an area when Patsy get emotional and she keeps feeling that pain. Sure the officer doesn't feel the same pain he would if he were related to the victims, but he is portraying an emotion he isn't feeling at the time.
@@jessicalynn6285 I agree, he seemed to fake those emotions. But why did you have to write an essay about it tho?
@@jessicalynn6285 police officers get desensitized, so they wouldn’t have as strong a reaction as a random person, but it would seem weird for him to be stoic, so he is purposefully adding more emotion. That’s my take on it anyway.
@@Kerbedis1 I do not think it's a good thing to analyze people's reactions in the face of tragedy or grief as if we know how THEY felt at the time. Sure they can become desensitized after seeing horrific things over and over, but a case like this I imagine is quite rare. That an entire family would be decimated by the patriarch, including their children. This is my take on it -- the cop has kids, too. It's not just the murder of one child. It's the murder of all of them including the mother by their own father. Assuming he is a father himself it's VERY believable to me that he would have an emotional reaction to it, but whether or not it seems legitimate to us or not really isn't fair for us to decide as people process grief in different ways.
Imagine killing your wife and then have the nerve to villainize her
This case was so wrong on so many levels I can’t wrap my head around it
That's what Chris Watts tried to claim during his first "confession" as a family annihilator. First he said his wife killed the kids and he killed her because she killed the kids. The truth came out in the end, as it always does.
So sick!
"Todt"al asshole, this guy.
He said she died telling him how great he was.
Wtf
Yeah, this was a house of cards. It was getting ready to tumble down & he was what? Gonna spare them? I don’t get it. That coupled w/ the trauma of his fathers crimes against his mother & not being the most respected successful man he portrayed himself to be. He probably went his whole life proving he was a better man than his father & in the end he was so much like him. He couldn’t even kill himself after ALL that. And now he has the “Watts-Nerve” to blame his poor dead wife for it all!!! It all says so much.
Aww he didn't have the heart to off the one he loved the most. Himself.
He should have been the first
Yeah this was an extended suicide that turned into murder when he couldt find the heart to off himself.
Probably haven't owned gun and all other ways of suicide are lets be honest panful. Could be reason he was high as shit when FBI arrived had no balls to kill himself so yea lets drink and swallow pills. Also that mention of world ending from his sister seems kinda off and weird
Fucking pity
Yes, you are right….I think he found it much easier to kill his wife and kids and dog than himself.
Never realized you put out a video on this. Chrissy is close family friend with my parents and this absolutely tore her and their family apart. Super sad hearing her talk to the dispatchers. She’s the sweetest person you’ll ever meet you can tell she knew something was wrong
Seeing that Christmas picture of the family and the dog is what got me, I'm married with 3 kids and I just don't understand how people can do this and this guy had a good life, my life sucks right now but my family is what keeps me from giving up.
Ik some can't have kids or find a partner and this pos throws them away bc of money not that any reason is a good one. It's funny he thinks he's getting out though.
Hope life gets better!
@@nathantschappler9191 I know it will, thank you.
the dog looks like he's smiling like a human :(
@@blazerwilliams2260 Sending you the best. Hope things get better very soon! We have to keep pushing forward. Our families are a true blessing.
This should be called "The Chris Watts Defense" - blaming your dead wife for killing all her children and then herself.
Ugh,... I know right?! What the ACTUAL f*ck. This guy definitely seems to have taken some notes from that loser Watts- poor excuse for a human being, both of them!
Oh and in both cases the police-and basically EVERYONE else- could see right through both of their bull💩 excuses!
He said that? And after that he dumped the kids in oil and buried his wife? If someone is going to burn in hell forever it's him. Tell Hitler I said hi!
Agreed
@@christiannilsen2835 he killed his wife either prior to killing his 2 little girls or after (it’s been debated), buried his wife at the oil site and then put his deceased girls bodies each in separate oil well/drums. THEN, when backed into a corner, he chose to blame his wife, after one of the detectives basically put that “theory” out there to him. Well, he took it and ran with it. Of course, thankfully his wife made all these beautiful videos of her with her kids, so no one (except some loony toons) believed him, thankfully!! Even if she hadn’t made all those videos, no one would believe him. Like they don’t believe this POS didn’t kill his own family and that instead, his wife did it all. So sad.
What I respect the most about Mike is he knows when to joke & when to show respect. Hands down the best on UA-cam.
This is obviously sarcasm
@@AlvinDishaw WTF?
@@laurieschneider5278 sarcasm.
Hope that helps.
Absolutely agree. Some people don't understand how important humor is to healthily processing some of the darkest parts of humanity... Y'all have never met any first responders or medical staff if you think Mike's humor is off.
@@Sam-go3mb yeah, funny how in court the judges and lawyers keep cracking jokes about murder lol
Interesting thing, in German "Der Tod" is "the death" and "tot" is "(being) dead" so Todt is like a morbid combination.
Todt is the old spelling for "death" in German.
That's very interesting...and creepy...thanks !
I noticed this too.
wow!
Who the hell names themselves Death as a surname. Maybe the name itself is what inspired him to do it
25:30
'"Then she died, TELLING HIM HOW GREAT HE WAS"
What jury could possibly find such a great man guilty?
I literally felt my jaw drop when I heard that's what he claimed happened. Talk about a loo-loo!
Hahahaha, that was hilarious. People that die near narcissists are always so quick to compliment them as they have their last breath. Give me a break... smh
Right??? Not a great man at all. A guilty man that's for sure but never great.
Ah, the old Chris Watt's defence of "my wife killed the kids, not me"
Maybe they had the same interrogators, haha.
I didn't, like, get what he, like, said, like.
@@ClosedEyeVisualisations " Every defence has been used and new ones will always arise" Isnt this statement internally inconsistent?

Hey Mike, I have one story for you. I hope you get to read this comment. I watch your videos almost daily but this one never showed up on my feed until today. This is good because out of about one hundred potential jurors, I was selected as one of the 12.
I’m so glad that we did the right thing in finding him guilty on all charges and I hope that we honored the wife and children’s lives by giving this monster the Justice he deserved.
This was my first time ever in a jury. Every time I close my eyes, I still see the horrible photos we had to examine during the trial. Some of the jurors went back to the courtroom to see the sentencing. I cried a lot when I came home after the sentencing was done and this horrible chapter was finally over.
Wow that must have been a tough trial . What a sad story I’m sorry you got picked for jury hope all is well..
I’m so glad he got what he deserves. Thank you for your service on the jury. Such a tragedy for the victims. Rest In Peace to all who lost their lives. Hope you have found peace and closure. Bless you and your family
I’m glad you were one of the people to put him away forever! I am terribly sorry for what you experienced:/ must have been really hard
Thank you for bringing some type of justice to this monster. That must have been a terrible, stressful trial, looking at the creep every day.
Why do you think he did it?
I actually lived in the same apartment buildings with this family for a couple years before the murders. Rode the elevator with the boys and their dog almost daily. They always seemed happy. This news was crazy and effected the entire town.
You have to do something really heinous to make a sheriff choke up like that. Saying the little girl's birthdate brought home what a baby she was.
I guess it's because the image of her decomposed body flashed through his mind at that moment.
he was asked about that in a later news conference.
he actually became choked up due to the next sentence about the Dog, Breezy. 🙁
@@hushthesky jeez im a total animal lover too, but i would be upset about the baby being murdered too. T_T
Yeah, that landlord lady is sick, that “eviction letter” is such a joke
Could've been a number of things it could've reminded him of one of his own children or family members or just the shear depravity of the crime.
People often forget police officers are human too,they aren't all hard asses with no heart.
I'm sure I couldn't do what LEO's do everyday,seeing death on the daily and then trying to compose myself for a press conference.

This is the first time I have seen a killer charged with murdering the pupper. Which should happen more. Pets are family.
Only one close I can remember is Shanna Liz Golyar. She was convicted of second-degree arson for the fire that killed her two dogs, cat, and snake. Though it's possible the sentence would have been the same either way.

Nice catch, hadnt realized but it is indeed very manipulative given the situation
What a horrible coward blaming his wife. It always gets to me when I see a cop struggling to continue when discussing crimes, particularly older cops who have seen so much. Thank you again Mike for an interesting, but disturbing video. I love you presentation 🥰

There's a reason I dont do family photos. Not just cause I'm cheap ass.
Well..... I’m screwed
Yeah, lots of people have that picture. But maybe it IS related. Like people who are very image obsessed are more likely to have that picture pose, and people who are image obsessed are more likely to murder their entire family rather murder than have their image sullied in the eyes of their family?

Right?! Plus, brother or not, I would disown my brother if he murdered my sis in law and my nephews and niece!
Chris Watts is "chipper" in his prison coversations/letters also. I guess it is a "never let 'em see you sweat" act.
I think it’s code for something else. He was lactose intolerant
That call was so inappropriate on his part. What was he thinking
Then he thinks he’s getting out when writing his dad whom tried killing his mother.. Lol uhhh ok lol

Maybe the dog tried to protect the rest of the family
The dog was probably barking like crazy so he probably killed it before neighbors heard
Who cares about the dog? Spare me
@@TheJthom9 sometimes it’s not about how the dog is more important, it’s about what this action showed if that makes sense. Like you already done the killing you need, killing the dog is just so unnecessarily cruel and really shows that there’s nothing left in the murder that make them human

And once they prove that, he’ll probably change his story to: “well I stabbed her because she killed our children..” 🙄🙄 this world is f’ed up..
True definition of a psycho. That’s also the same thing Chris Watts said, another child and wife killer.

Lalolanda that is what i like.
cases like this one are the most unsettling. his family, friends, and patients perceived him as a normal guy. absolutely frightening
The insanity of society is everyone is just a order of events away from this or self destruction.
I had this epiphany when I learned of the interview some girl that visited Adolf Hitler had described how nice and funny and charming he was and there was even some video footage of her arriving and speaking to him. I couldnt believe someone who orchestrated such unimaginable destruction and hatred could be completely and utterly normal in his personality.
Humanity's potentiality is our most frightening aspect.
Exactly it's so disturbing how many ppl are out there posing as "normal". It's so scary I've seen it before. We freaked out like my handyman was a pedophile. It Was Crazy.
The thing is that there are ppl that do not so ok stuff but ppl around them make excuses and act like it is normal behaviour. The more powerful or elite they are, the more is tolerated. Like I know a guy with full basement of guns, he takes photos of his kids with those guns and he has a bit of an angry issues. But because he was a manager, everyone took it like a cool hobby and photos with the kids cute. We do not live in a country where having a gun is normal. I can imagine that if person like him did something, everyone would act surprised and be like "omg but he was so normal"

Never ever confront someone who has a secret life, and never ever turn your eye from someone who's clearly got secrets. Just get out and away. No forwarding address. Family Annihilators wipe out generations in one swipe.
@@mrs.schmenkman Sounds like you, in hindsight, are blaming the victims for "confronting" their murderers. Killing your partner over debts or an affair obviously isn't part of the ordinary, most just work it out or get a divorce.
Adam Englund No, you are correct. I'm talking about secret lives..not just a little debt or an affair. Wtf is people's obsession with blaming people? Who gives a flying fig who's to "blame"? That's so immature. I'm warning others, never ever trust someone who's living a secret life. They gave up the right to be trusted. These people are the most dangerous. Family Annihilators are a real thing.
I enjoy listening to this young men who tells these cases keep up your good work of highlighting these tragedies
Thank you for spending a little extra time explaining what happened to the dog. I feel like the dogs don't get enough respect, but some of us love them like our kids ❤️
Yes, Krysta! Bravo for this comment. I TOTALLY agree. We already don't deserve their love and loyalty and we should NEVER forget them when they too, are murdered. Big love to you, fellow dog lover.
im sure the dog was just as scared and confused as the family was being brutally stabbed to death.
Yeah. High maintenance shi* factory. That's a dog
@@redraiderrider3289 As much as I don't like that statement it's totally true 😂
When he's in that jumpsuit, he looks like the Penguin at the end of Batman Returns.
Lmfao! I can't unsee this now. I hope his lawyer gives him a white shirt and a dark suit for his trial - if so I'll be photoshopping a picture of him at his trial. Make his suit look like Cobblepot's full outfit, add a top hat, cane, hair and matching make-up to pull the entire look off to make him look like like an on-the-nose cosplay.
lmao
Do you have anything intelligent and really relevant to share?
@@DeViLzzz2006 yes, i just did. Its relevant, because its about this murderous loser, and its intelligent because i are SMAHT!
Now go back to being a sad little troll.
@@zacharyberridge7239 I am not a sad troll. I actually come here to talk about the cases and I also come to promote the death penalty. Clearly you do otherwise.

How many of you have made this same comment, begging and seeking attention? Lmfao!
@@darkstarmatter1388 don't get too excited
Imo Mike is by FAR...the best. Its not even close imo. In a few years he'll have like 10 million subs..you just watch. His content is well researched, concise, clear, and he's a likeable person
I love how Mike actually hearts and responds to his comments, such a classy guy
One of the best youtubers who responds to his subs.
Let’s see if he likes this
@@jacobtracc2862 it's too late
Not yours
Been around when he was small and people were saying he should blow up and well he no longer comments on my posts. I don't think he wants to piss anyone off by saying anything really substantial so he keeps all the viewers. I like the channel but making money is a thing that he has to think about. It is unfortunate as I would like to hear his views on things.
That "sigh" of his sister after he said it was him on the line...She did not want to talk to him, but stayed polite because of family. I feel bad for her. She even tried to tell the police that something was wrong...And now he is telling her this bullcrap.
Wow.
He came from one MESSED up family... Repressed / Denied the memory of what happened to his mom by his dad, but you can only do that for so long.
I’m not so sure just because she knew it was him long before he started talking. When someone calls you from jail there is a long robotic voice telling you your getting a call from whatever jail/prison, who it is, and ask if they accept the charges. I think she genuinely cares for him, and was actually relieved to hear his voice as crazy as that sounds. I have a hard time believing anyone would care for this man, but it seems like people do. He must have had some redeeming qualities before all this happened, strangely enough.
He's not the first family annihilator to use the wife did it excuse. Sick to think they blame their victim for their crimes. 🤢
One a side note, it's so scary to think that one could be married to a literal psychopath for decades and not knowing their true nature until they become a victim.
Honestly, I have been dating the same man since high school as well and I plan to marry him
But how do you truly know who you’re marrying? I am excited for our future but there’s also this nagging fear that this could be me and my children.
@@Seawitch555 Oh, dear! If you have doubts...DON'T! Please?

I was immediately suspect of Tony Todt when Mike said he was a physical therapist and he looked like a got dang *yam*
Omg
All the physios I know are so fit
that's not fair. one doesn't nave to be buff in order to be a good physiotherapist
@@cocolime6496 True, but there is something concerning about someone who has made a living on taking care of ones body not taking care of their own. I am not saying you have to be buff but he is far from fit.
Mr. No Neck
It’s truly insane that some of these people can do this and be completely determined they’re innocent
Psychopathy.
Serial killer Steven Kraft who murdered over 30 men and was literally caught with his final victim in his car still continues insist he is innocent decades later
Makes you really think
The poor Sheriff when he got to the age of the four year old, he barely held it together. God bless these law enforcement officers, the things they see and deal with my goodness.
You should do a behind the scene of making your videos. From the research to the shoots, that would be something I’d watch.
That would be really interesting, I'd love to see it 😀
I would love to see behind the scenes as well! I love Mike’s voice! So soothing!👍🏽😊
@@joyjones1471 I both agree and disagree; soothing voice, but these are so addictive! For last 5 hours I kept telling myself "just 1 more" and then here I am twelve or turteen videos later
I think Mike thinks like Disney.
Keep the magic a secret.
And I’m good with that.
A blooper reel, lol
Mikey is tearing it up on his way to 2 million subscribers already 👍💥
There are three things certain in life. Death. Taxes. That Chapter dropping consistently quality videos, typically twice a week.
Love getting vids early on Patreon!
AMEN to the fact that he was also charged with animal cruelty. That doggies life mattered too! ❤️ that was just the icing on the karma cake!
In before someone gets upset at this comment like in most videos, and cries in despair that some people 'love animals more than humans'. There's room in a heart for unlimited things pals.
Karma isn’t real
Dude who gives a shit about the dog when the man murdered his innocent kids..smh
@@raudeloruna2600 Haha found one, a *'you can only give a shit about one thing at once'* person.
@@Sam-go3mb yup..here i am. You can give a shit about whatever you want guy, but priorities are priorities.
I am a medical biller and fraud is a HUGE deal. I have to be so on point with everything & make sure our medical providers aren’t billing what they shouldn’t.
My “cousin” was a chiropractor and this story sounds so similar! He was doing drugs, having multiple affairs with his nurses, and fraudulently billing ins. Companies. He ended up going to jail, all while his young pregnant wife took care of the kids. So very sad! It was his nurse that turned him in. And yes, his wife stayed married to him 🤦🏼♀️
@@gayledimitri5887 ugh. Horrible.
It sucks because it's caused the billing codes to become so overly specific in response and yet it still goes on unabated. The corrupt ones will just keep being corrupt I guess
@@Etherman7 SO specific. The codes we use regularly are not only specific to the services rendered, but the degrees our providers have, as well as what type of insurance our clients have. Then you have the modifiers that narrow it down even more...
I'm born and raised in Central Florida and I totally agree with your assessment of the state. I left years ago and I'm never going back.
I have heard of several cases like this. Why some men think their family would rather be dead than financially ruined is beyond me. And they are such narcissists that they can kill their kids, but not take their miserable lives. Cowards.
“Dear Dad, I wrote you but you still aint callin. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom...”
apparently he sent 2 letters back in autumn
Like father like son on this one!Farher had his wife killed n denied it,years later,so did the son!
@@jackbridge5780 he must not of got em
@@lisaknowles15 it’s an Eminem song.
"My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering whyy..."
There are several family annihilator stories similar to this. Father gets into financial trouble so he decided that his family cannot live on without him. He plans to off himself after executing his family but gets cold feet.
It's the ultimate act of selfishness and self-preservation. F this cretin/waste.
@@cococrooks2638 It's the ultimate act of narcissism too. He thinks they're worth nothing without him because all he thinks about is his ego.
nailed it
Exactly. They ALWAYS get cold feet.
The trial is rescheduled for Jan 2022 now. Praying for justice for those little ones and the wife whose memory he is tarnishing to save his own criminal ass.
It's a tragic pattern. Successful husband/father over extended and in trouble somehow can't stand for his family to see him as a failure and decides to kill them instead. I don't understand why but the ego can't allow it. Terrible.
It appears to be rooted in a form of narcissism where the person views his/her family not as separate individuals, but as extensions of himself/herself. The person is probably certain that the family feels that way too. The person feels entitled to pull the plug on the family if a situation arises (in this case, possible bankruptcy) that could change this dynamic.
@@beno1129 interesting 🤔
There was several of these events after the real estate crash in 2008 sadly.
I have watch almost all your content your by far my favorite true crime storyteller!!
The dog :( .. good that they added the charge for poor Breezy's murder
You guys both know 3 children and a woman got murdered right?
@@xobler2508 Some folks care more about dogs than actual people.
I'm glad he was charged with everything he could have been but I agree with the others: the dog being murdered has nothing on the human loss.
@@xobler2508 yes they know, they were just saying that it’s good that the dog wasn’t forgotten about 🤦♂️
Man, why does it always have to be a fight over „Whose life is more precious?“... of course it‘s unbelievably cruel what this monster has done to his children and his wife and this pos should get the worst of the worst punishment for that, but my heart *also* cries out for the dog. Nothing wrong with that and I‘m sure L.S. just wanted to say, that it‘s a good thing they charged him for the killing of the dog as well - because this matters as well.🐾❤️🐾
The pause of the officer when reading out the youngest's age... I can't imagine having to keep my composure when discussing something so horrific...
Zoe sadly was so small and found at her mothers feet wrapped in a blanket tightly like her brothers . Her brothers were found on the mattress beside the bed , they were also holding a crucifix. So brutal and beyond comprehension. Stephanie Harlowe , another UA-cam creator has done a phenomenal job in every single minute detail on this case among others. Check her out
Greetings Mike from santry lane Dublin Ireland. Ur a legend and the Irish accent makes it easier to listen to
20:24 "Your attorney has waived the reading of the charges...." No kidding. The last thing he wants is all those prisoners behind him finding out he killed children.
I was thinking the same thing.
I said the same thing! But you know.. once they don’t read the charges then you know somethings up. And the inmates will dig for the info. Hopefully he gets what’s coming.
No wonder he's in isolation.
"You're never getting out of there" might be my favorite thing Mike has ever said
At first I was creeped out by how his wife predicted the pandemic. Then I remembered that it wasn't his wife's story, it was HIS story.
What’s the big deal? Poppy predicted the pandemic _years_ ago (see her video ‘How to Apply Your Mask’, posted _20 March 2017_ ), and she’s not creepy at _all._
@@bryangarcia5599 lmaoo
Was that only from him? His sister mentioned something about it in the second welfare check, but I was wondering if they were both doomsday cultists ever after that point in the video.
Edit: Just rewatched. At 7:30, his sister mentions putting it all together from a comment her sister-in-law made about the end of the world. Not totally implausible that the victims here were the kids and the dog. It’s not as rare as you’d think for a mother to kill her children if she believes she’s protecting them from something worse.
@@michaelseanderry Doomsday cultists? Well, when all the new strains come about, her prediction will be realized.🤒🥵☠️
His sister reluctantly said something to the police about being told about the end of the world.
One thing I find interesting is that the word “todt” is Dutch for “dead”.
The word todt is also related to death in German as well.
Not really. Dead is written 'dood' in Dutch (dough-t, not tho-t)
Tod is death in German!
Well this has been one helluva Kino der toten.
no, no it is not...
Just sentenced the other day. Life with no parole and 1 year for the dog. Apparently not only did he stab them, he laid on top of them until they suffocated. What a bastard.
Yeah cuz when you get home and think your wife killed your kids and herself, you just hang out there for weeks instead of calling the cops
damn I actually went there, and met him. Still have the bag from the visits
I know a lot of people saw that notification and clicked immediately
It was tough: Ask A Mortician has uploaded too...!
i am apparently a lot of people. would have clicked faster had that notification come faster.
Of course! 😁
yes and waiting while listening to previous clips!
I have an hour commute to and from work so I'm always excited to get a notification. Makes my drive home so much more enjoyable.
