" would sometimes disappear for long periods of time".
Makes me wonder if there were any other victims.
There were most likely other victims. It’s crazy that the cops knew he murdered a woman but weren’t able to catch him in time.
Seeing Dr. G smile in the factor clip - that’s so rare! He always has that dry humor, deadpan expression. Good stuff!!
And the little pup to his right is so adorable ❤
😂😂😂😊
The guy had both murder weapons, was wearing one of their clothes, his DNA was found, and was placed at the scene. I wouldn’t call that a circumstantial case.
Those are all circumstances that point to his guilt. Unless you have video or witnesses, you only get to apply circumstantial evidence.
No witnesses or, say, video. All other evidence is physical evidence from the surroundings. That's the definition of circumstantial.
@@NanaWilson-px9ij video can be deepfaked and witnesses are always unreliable. theres no such thing as proof anymore
. . . but the jury can render whatever Verdict they believe fits the facts of the case.
Circumstantial cases are often the strongest. The public just doesn’t have a good understanding of what “circumstantial evidence” actually is. Direct evidence in the form of eye witness testimony can be problematic, as is now well known.
Imagine being the person who gave him a ride after the murders, if they realize how close to death they were!
They may have gotten killed too
It probably wasn't a woman and thus he had no interest in SA and killing them
As a day hiker myself and as someone who has sought solace in nature, this hits me as especially sad particularly given your theory of a planned attack as opposed to opportunistic. Criminals like this one make me wish there is a hell waiting on the other side.
YES! 'Karma' is a lie.
There is a hell on the other side.I like to believe that if the victims don't get justice in this world , they get it in the next.
The planned attack idea is chilling, especially considering that these hikers were traveling together and were attacked anyway. You can take some comfort in the knowledge that most bad guys are too lazy to walk more than a few hundred feet from their vehicles, as evidenced by the lack of litter once you get away from the trailhead.
@@Polyphemus47I hate to agree but so often it seems like evil people not only get away with hurting others, in cases of business it's the cutthroat sociopaths who are most successful.
@@hildahilpert5018There is only this world and it is fucked. Handle it.
People get murdered in their own homes every day. I had a relative who was attacked and left for dead by a serial killer IN HER OWN HOME WHILE SHE SLEPT! So don't be deterred if you love nature, but educate yourself in regards to fending off 2-legged predators. Don't sleep in shelters. Don't divulge personal information or trail plans to strangers. Don't be afraid to leave the trail or change directions if feeling uncomfortable about a stranger. Hike off trail to camp, where you can't be seen or seen hiking to your camp. Carry a weapon and a personal locator beacon. I've carried even where it's illegal, because I'd rather be fined or jailed than die!
dont stay together , man walks ahead by how far , woman or other behind. but still seeing each other. so if man gets attacked woman can flee drop gear to be light. would this work to save one life....
Exactly - I would advise always carrying a weapon - squeamish about firearms? At least carry a strong defensive spray! "Trailside murders" aren't common, but they are savage and often the victims were slain with no witnesses, and potential help hours or days away - by then it's far too late. I feel so awful for the victims, and I'm sure most if not all wished they had something effective to fight back with as they were being killed.
"I guess this is a step up from living next to a swamp full of alligators"- the Grande Technique of Levity
Yeah. A lot of people are quitting their jobs to live the bum life now. Nobody wants to work anymore and have the time to do risky hikes instead of getting another job. I don't get it. I'm still working at almost 66, over 50 years of WORKING. 🫤
Even the alligators sensed evil and didn't touch him.
Only take away is to know such wonderful couples exists who love nature and value helping people.
Dude was so creepy people could sense the evil coming off of him.
And so dirty they could smell it…
Might have been the fleas
It's a spiritual world. Everyone is giving off energy
Most likely was demon-possessed.
@@BUBBLESPOGOcertainly was. What we know as "egos" are what Jesus called "demons". Demon comes from a Greek word which means a "spirit" of a certain type of emotion or pathos.
"Eros" is the daemon of romance. To be "possessed by eros" is to have your personality overtaken by this multifactor psychological emotional complex.
The new testament was written in Greek and used Greek terminology. However, in Hebrew the terms mean the same thing also.
What kind of search was done for Paul after his first murder? It’s so tragic that he wasn’t locked up before he was able to hurt anyone else.
Alot of people should never get out but these laws we have suck, so they hurt other people because the system failed..sad!!

How sad😢Rip Jeff and Molly and Clemmie.
I really wish the Factor ads said "After a busy day speculating..."
I realize that it’s pedantic, but for future reference, the northern terminus of the AT is pronounced; Mt. Ka-TAH-den rather than ka-tah-DEN. This story is one of the most widely known among AT hikers - great campfire tale to scare trekkers. The trail is incredibly safe and the camaraderie among hikers is amazing, so the very, very, few tragic stories like this one are striking.
@@Cheesy_Nachos I am not, thanks. But I have heard this story used in that way at a few campsites along the AT. It happened nearly 40 years ago and is a very rare instance of that sort of danger on the trail. By far, the greatest danger to long-distance hikers is themselves.
Just shake it off, @@j.thomasgough4284 , most of us knew what you meant, and recognize the campfire telling of tales as healthy cameraderie.
I hike and work on trails all the time No one cares how to properly pronounce the mountain
@@Tuscarora21 Uh huh.
@@Tuscarora21I disagree
This guy's troubles started at 8 years old when his father abandoned him and his siblings. I hope fathers thinking about abandoning their responsibilities, will listen to this video very carefully.
There are PLENTY of abandoned children who DONT become pathological killers - another lefty 'excuse' for a narcissistic killer
Thousands of fathers abandon their family and yet their sons dont become murderers. Its usually not the hardships in life that turn people bad, on the contrary, it's a sense of entitlement that comes from being spoiled.
@Skandalos cultures without fathers go to hell. That's a fact
Probably even younger honestly. He was probably abused long before dad left.
Can't imagine sleeping on the trail. I like camping in hotels.
i like camping in my bed!
Sleeping in the forest is wonderful but you do it in a secret spot not out in the open. May as well have gone and laid down on the side of a busy road it would have been safer
The title had me thinking the killer was going to be some ultra-organic vegan like Brian Laundrie. Never heard of OPD before this!
Dr. Grande, could you please talk about Linda Bishop, the New Hampshire woman who had bipolar disorder and starved to death. A documentary was made about her.
I'm a female who solo backpacks many trails including the Appalachian Trail. This is a tragic story but please do not ever let that stop you from enjoying the great outdoors. Stay aware and you'll be fine.
they also had nearly 400 million chances of not running into this 1 madman unfortunately they lost a game of vanishingly low odds but you cant live your life worrying about the 0.005% chances when your far more likely to run into helpful or at worst apatetic people imho @@zebralove2840
And carry bear spray, a firearm if possible, etc...
Staying aware doesn’t save you from being shot
Doesn’t matter if your aware .. I’m all for not giving up what you love .. but this crap is random and horrible
Stay strapped
morning Dr. Grande drop 🍳☀️ to help me through Monday and Eagles 🦅 loss! 🤗
Just in time to make my run less miserable. Thanks Dr.Grande!
Awesome. I wish I could figure out how to listen while I swim laps.
Ha! Me too! I'm on the treadmill right now. I try to finish whatever mile I'm on by the end of show. The meaner the story the faster I seem to go! 😅
@@Dodgeownerthey dont have waterproof headphones?
@@pinkarate1 lmao trying this next time!
Or more given the topic…
Oh my goodness His cute little doggie smiling in the background of the add
Another backlog of weekend videos to get started on, and I came to UA-cam just in time to begin with this new one. Thanks, as always, Dr. Grande; I look forward to catching up on your videos with my coffee this morning.
(PS - Every time you plug Factor meals, I look for your little dog, hoping for a bite!)
I never watch the videos, I just listen. Now, I'm going to have to go back to see the Factor meal! 😊
Why would you want Dr. Grande's dog to bite you? 😜🐕
@@arinerm1331 Allow me to clarify.
I really appreciate the sophisticated and articulate level of insight you bring to analyzing the psychological facets of true crime events; the thought processes of the persons involved is the major reason for my interest in these stories and you are exceptional at reviewing these complex events. Thank you Dr. Grande.
I wonder how many people this man murdered they never attributed to him.
My family are avid hikers, and we always carry on every trail. You never know.
The problem with carrying on the Appalachian Trail is it goes through 14 states. Is your carry permit recognized by 14 states? Mine isn't. You would need a federal carry permit. So a US Marshall hiking the AT is safe I guess.
@MakerInMotion You can now conceal carry in any US state. No permit is needed.
@@Zachary3D LOL...wait are you being serious?
I hope you're right about that. I've never owned a gun, but I've been giving it heavy consideration in the last few years.@@Zachary3D
@MakerInMotion - he doesn’t know what he’s saying. You need a permit and some states will not issue to non residents.
This man was obviously the product of childhood trauma. Its a pity that there is no way to get these people out of society before they do harm.
My heart goes out to the couple who just wanted to enjoy a great time hiking . Horribly sad..
There is a way. Vote, but not for political parties whose main ideology is money. The rightwing agenda is to cut funding for mental health care, healthcare, education, and any social program that makes society less toxic, and then give it away as corporate subsidies to fatten their own wallets in turn in campaign donations. It's a symptom of the toxic culture we live in. Sad, but true. Sh*t rolls downhill!
Perhaps it would be better to offer more protections for children and increased mental health awareness and care?
Yes!
Whenever I hear that a child is “managed” rather than “grew up with his family…" or a warmer description of loving and raising a child, I fear that it’s going to be a bad or sad story.
“Managing” a young child sounds unloving and cold. In this case this little boy was in grade school and younger as his family broke up-imagine losing every one of your 6 brothers as sisters and your mother after your father abandoned you-then at the age of 8 or 9 sent to a new place completely cut off from your family-instead of staying together or even close. No wonder he started to run away etc.. We all took our wonderful childhoods for granted. Little children like this one only knew hardship, insecurity and worse.
Once traume is installed in their brain its so hard to get ipt out as they are inconsciouslly controlled by it and they derive excitement from that trauma even if it is causing suffering to others...
Dr G I love the calm soothing sound of your voice. I listen to your channel after work which helps me to relax while being entertained and educated. You are amazing
I second that.
I think they train for that. Makes sense if you are discussing emotionally volatile subjects with patients
I had never anticipated, that one day I would like advertisements. In general it annoys me. But when Dr. G. does it, it's different.
It’s still annoying.
Love the bunny salt and peppers and of course Bella! 😍🐾
Yes. But when they're a part of the actual video, at least they're easy to bypass. @@Tavat
Grande Poodle eyeing those Factor meals longingly ,Dr Grande❤😂
Thanks, Dr Grande. Time Ines in true crime always fascinate me, what the killer and the victims were doing a few days before, then up until they encountered one another. I always think if they had only done this or that or if such and such a thing had happened, then they never would have come into contact with each another.
I think about that, too. And, the flip side. How often do we come near and escape danger that we never know of, because of some small decision to go this way or that way, or venture out at just the right time? 🤔
I love your ad pic with your little pup. Very nice.
Minor points: Dr G mispronounced Katahdin. Also, if you made to Duncannon from there, youve completed about half the trail--the harder half at that
Also, to stand out for looking dirty on the trail, you must be absolutely filthy.
Paul's DNA being on the victim is considered circumstantial evidence? Sounds like direct physical evidence to me.
Another sad & strange story. Great breakdown & points as usual. Thanks Dr G😊💜💚
Good morning 🌞
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humor and sarcasm. December 4 is Cabernet Franc Day, National Cookie Day (gotta have some Walker's shortbread cookies later!), National Wildlife Conservation Day, Wear A Beard of Bees Today Day, World Dice Day, National Kitten Day, Wear Brown Shoes Day, Santa's List Day, and Sock Day.
Hi Dr. Grande, good evening from Southern California. Excellent analysis. No wonder I never liked camping or hiking. This man I always saw in my night terrors. The poor young couple what a horrible way to meet their end.
As always I learn something new from your videos.
I’ve hiked the Duncannon section of the AT. It’s where you cross the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers. Scary!
Mr. Grande just wanted to say I’ve been watching you for years because I’m majoring in psychology as I have struggled with mental health myself, and your videos really do give an insight into how people can develop these traits due to their environmental trauma, and it also gives me more insight into Psychology as a whole. Thank you for making this content and giving us your opinion, keep it up 🙏🏻
Dr Grande has been a part of my daily morning viewing for years, too. I love his sense of humor, and that he knows when not to use it, as in this segment. Sometimes, the only appropriate response to a situation is sadness. This beautiful couple, slaughtered like lambs by a lunatic, just for being, rips my heart out.
@@Polyphemus47 Same here 1000% agree with you, I listen to his videos while I’m at work because I just find it interesting and his humor is top tier when it’s appropriate like you said. This video was definitely tragic
*Dr.
Well, Doc, I suggest for your next video you tackle the insidious, nationwide problem of cactus obsession!
I really loved the short video introducing Mrs. Grande. Could there be a short video introducing the dog? That's a cute little face by Dr. Grande's elbow in the factor part of the video....
I hear of so many murders happening on the Appalachian trail. It’s sad everything our society takes pride in has been destroyed by the lack if decency. These poor hikers. Our poor, broken society.
Evil has always existed. We are just getting to know it as before it has usually left few traces...
We need more cacti in the background
I'm never going hiking after hearing cases like these.
I literally trip on a flat surface allll the time while minding my own business .. I don’t understand how these killers get confident footsteps , no roadblocks , no mishaps .. just a free clear open path granted by the entire universe 🎉🎉🎉 repeated crimes repeated charges repeated bailouts …. SEEN and allowed by the entire universe 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
👋😃 Hello, Doc! I want to wish you a Merry Cactus! 🎅🌵
5:33 dr grande looking like someone dr grande would make a video about
I did quite a bit of hiking and backpacking with my husband. I always felt unsafe
Good Morning Dr. Grande! Thank you 🙏
Great a$ always Dr. Most people I try to learn from I can't retain what they are saying but with you it's easy !
I love your salt and pepper shakers!
As always, a very interesting case and great professional presentation. Love your work, keep it coming.
Why is it so often some ex military guy.
It’s so scary some people seem destined to be k1llers. But I do believe in maybe not free will but free won’t. The idea we are trained to fight our baser instincts. Sure sometimes when I’m mad I want to throw stuff but my brain is trained to not act on those rushes of anger. Some people don’t stop themselves and lack empathy to the point they don’t feel bad about hurting someone. It’s unfathomable. But I’ve been around people like this; I know it can and does happen but I can’t imagine being like that. Ever.
Very interesting thought, free won't.
I don't think serving in the military is the risk factor, but perhaps being kicked out of the military is. However, there are other risk factors that may coincide with military service, such as poverty, early childhood adverse experiences, and lack of family support.
Dr Grande, you don't have to twist my arm, you just sold Factor to me and I cannot wait to try it!
Wow. Thanks, Dr. Grande, for sharing your story-telling skills and professional mental health knowledge w us.❤ These videos are so informative. I get a lot out of them.❤
I'm probably missing something here, but if he was the obvious suspect in the 1986 murder, why haven't the police put in the effort to track him down?
It sounds like they did try to track him, but he went out of state and sounds like he worked under the table at a tobacco farm and countryside
An intriguing analysis Dr. Thank you! I think it would be very interesting if you did an analysis of Scarlett O'hara's behaviour in the novel "Gone With the Wind". I would love to hear your perspectives on her.
I'll second that!
That would be interesting!
Tragic episode but I do have to mention your commercial. I Love your little dog!
thank you
This is another recounting of another heartrending event - they are affecting me more than usual this month.
Not familiar with this case. Thanks, Doc!
When I hike I NEVER follow man-trails. I lurk like an animal. If someone else spots me before i see them I feel like a failure.
Im a pretty experienced day-hiker. Enough to not get lost etc, but even though most people are safe, i am uneasy about meeting strangers on a lonely trail in the forest
it's pronounced Ka-TAH-din which means "greatest mountain"
Oops, I posted that too. I live nearby.
Always interesting
Thank you
Profound analysis. And…. Love the commercial…. The salt and pepper shakers, the dog, your smile…
I run on that part of the trial all the time. So scary! However it is good to remember hiking on the AT is actually very safe. Still gives me the heebee jeebees!!
It is interesting in your conclusions that each side was in nature for opposing positions of the same coin.
What ate the odds? You happily take out all of your savings, to go on a romantic hike. What are the odds of crossing roads with an aspiring serial killer, wanting to screw your lovely adventure? Some things just can't be made out...
There have been other killers on that trail. Go in a big group, carry a gun! Thank you Dr. Grande for another fantastic video!
Thanks for this. Could you analyze the Meighan Cordie case?
I wish my exes had as much insight as men as you do Dr Grande. You rock to bad your your already taken 😅 she must really love it that the arguments are so smooth. And insightful.
you know i really have been seeking a nutritious,flavorfull meal this holiday season , FACTOR fits my healthy lifestyle , and leaves me time to tackle all my holiday tasks
the hills have eyes; therefore, don't go hiking outside of a group and stay strapped
I don't like your conclusion in this one. They worked with "young offenders" (3:37), meaning, yng people who indulged only in petty criminality, typically. The segment in which you used the word psychopathology at 14:12 quasi-implies that their "young offenders" were all psychopaths prone to violence. I'd be surprised if it was really the case. If really you found that the organisation they were working for was oriented toward helping hardened and violent offenders to find a better path, you should have provided this detail, thus making your conclusion more solid. It's almost as if your social philosophy was that its pointless for a society to try to help petty offenders develop a "better version of themselves", since sooner or later they'll all be proven to be psychopaths.
What a very frightening story. Pure evil. If only that poor couple had taken a gun with them. Thank you, Dr. Grande. Scary story, superb analysis.
There is no guarantee that they would have survived unless both were carrying. He could have taken the girl hostage. Remember, he trained to be a marine!
Or a dog who would alert them by growling or barking..
@@messrsandersonco5985 Good point. Even so, their chances of survival would have been far greater if they had had a gun. As for the sicko being an ex-marine, it doesn't seem he was much good if he was kicked out of the marines.
@@breakablehandlewithcare I get the impression that the couple were kind, gentle souls, which is probaby why they didn't carry a gun. Even if the dog alerted them, what would they have done against this psycho? All in all, it's a terrible tragedy.
@@SvetlanaVladimirova8590 Thank you for your message. yes, I agree ...it's a terrible tragedy.
Nice shirt Doc!
I used to hike a lot on the Pacific Crest Trail and I was always immediately suspicious of anyone carrying a gun. Very few people do and in my experience they're either up to no good or they're extremely paranoid, neither of which is very safe for the people around them. Yes, there are some unique dangers to hiking, especially hiking solo (which is what I almost always did), but you're probably in much less danger out on the trail than in the average city. I'm not against guns, by the way, I own several myself and keep one in my nightstand at home, it just always seemed ridiculous (and impractical) to carry them on the trail.
@@christinah.8504 Yeah, like I said, extremely paranoid.
@@flingonber I'd rather be paranoid and alive than gullible and dead but to each their own. :-}
im also highly suspicious of anyone that isnt exactly like me
@@christinah.8504 Only weirdos like that carry, though...
@@carlholland3819 That tracks, people who carry guns everywhere do tend to be more xenophobic than average.
I work at a Pottery Workshop in Monson, Maine where the trail picks up.
And this is why I never camp anywhere near other people when I'm long distance hiking and why I prefer to hike in the Cascades and Rockies over the Appalachian mountains (there are fewer shelters on these trails relative to the AT where they are commonplace)
Your dog is so precious!!!
Please cover the case of the Thurston High shootings!
It’s so scary to go out alone in the woods running or hiking these days…awful how evil ppl are
Pop
Jesus I live near Duncannon and I had no idea this case was so close
I'm not diagnosing, only speculating, but I always feel like the 'of' is missing from the background this case.
So hard to be a serial killer these days. SMH.
❤Thank you Doc❤Happy Holidays to all Lovers, Saints and Soldiers of Justice, Freedom & Democracy.❤RIP Paul Kessler, Ventura County, America.😢
Never would have imagined you'd be hawking food products on your channel. I guess next it will be selling Pheromone Soap or Royal Titles with a micro plot of land in Scotland.
This happened right near where I live.
Also regarding a different case We met the murderer Stephen Carr a couple weeks before he shot the 2 women in Michaux state forest
Your little dog was waiting for some Factor!
I just find the ads more terrifying than the cases... I wouldn't be surprised if the boxes contained flesh.
LOL! Human flesh? Soylent Factor?
I am curious how many people travel that Appalachian Trail, I would imagine many of them are inexperienced hikers that are not aware of how difficult of task is ahead of them.
I have heard that some hikers refuse to socialize in groups, those hikers would be at the highest risk if someone attacks them.
I am curious if a strong connection to nature makes someone less likely to commit all crimes.
It's getting to the point where people using our country's parks, hiking trails, state game lands, etc. need to be randomly background checked. Too many stories just like this one over and over again. And no, being aware is not enough to keep anyone safe. I love to hike, walk, wander, photograph, research and enjoy the outdoors but I'm personally aggravated that it's not safe to enjoy public outdoor spaces without being aggressively intimidated and harassed time and again.
Hi! Could you make a video analyzing Dr. Paolo Macchiarini? I watched "Bad surgeon" on Netflix and I am still shocked.
Dr. and his little pooch! Awesome picture sir!

Paul David Crews- Performances from Below 😇
Sometimes geography provides interesting metaphors for human behavior. Working with terms like "lower" and "higher" audiences can see the important differences in these domains. The lower order or domain includes: abandonment, waistbands, running away, dropouts, severe mental depression, drifters, grave digger, putting knives to someone's throat, swamps, naked bodies, decapitation, garbage, beer, shacks, lean-to, attacks, convictions, sentencing, bustling, jam packed, long days, grocery stores, Greyhound buses....All of these lower elements are part of our story, the human story. Is it comical, tragic, neither or both? thank you.
Maybe just luck? Running into someone like PDC is a one in a million unlucky experience. Really no way to protect against that kind of danger.
DR Grande you have been coming in hot lately with this killer endings. Life stories.
