If you've ever been to Celebration, the fact that there have been 2 family annihilations make it even scarier than normal. It's already the epitome of what you imagine the Stepford Wives town to look like. Every lamppost has a tiny flower pot with perfectly placed flowers in it. Everything is hand painted, everything is just so and it almost feels like you have vertigo. Go and see it. It is off of a highway, in the center of a barron field. Tie a rope to the highway so you can make your way back. The juxtaposition of feeling yourself being swallowed into darkness while standing in the brightest of sunshine and walking past the most carefully constructed town in America is mania inducing.
It’s not the “ most constructed town in America “. There is no other family annihilated in there, they were originally from Connecticut. Everything you wrote sounds like some hillbilly that has never traveled anywhere
Just like the Watts case… a family living WAY beyond their means, not communicating with each other, and putting on a big front to the outside world that everything is just “perfect.”
Thank YOU! Except if I just met Chris Watts in a dark alley and knew nothing about him---I'd probably bone him--he's so passive he'd probably be amenable to anything. Toad I wouldn't touch with a 10 ft pole.
Just found guilty of 4 counts of FIRST DEGREE PREMEDITATED MURDER as well as murdering the dog..thankfully, he was sentenced to life without parole x 4 to be served consecutively! When he testified you could tell that this guy was a controlling, very forceful narcissist….monster…pure evil!
What’s weird is that it seems like Megan was the only one he cared about. She definitely meant more to him than the kids but he also hated her. His constant digs at her in court were shocking. He tried to be subtle about it but that just made it more obvious.
That is heartbreaking at the end when he describes his wife calling him a second time to tell him they are 'ALL DEAD'. You forget about the impact on others, the shock and disbelief. What a shame, finding out that these poor innocent children, Mother and dog, was subject to a horrific death, by their own father. He must have spiralled out of control, with finances, court case pending, possible prison, and wondering how his family would cope. He could not see past the fact his wife could also earn, and they would bounce back, no matter what happened. Things are never black and white, if only he could have seen that!!!! To choose this way out was horrific!!
They was already dead when the text came about them going away. He couldn't take them away.. he was broke. He did all the texts.. crazy. Poor babies, this case has literally made me feel sick.
Anthony Todt was involved with a government billing scheme - like insurance fraud. He was a physical therapist but he claimed and billed for services that were suspect. The Feds were investigating him. He maybe didn’t tell is wife. They were living way beyond their means. He was flying to Florida and back to Connecticut maybe even 4 times a month. He had stopped making mortgage payments on the house in Celebration and had probably received a foreclosure or eviction notice. So he was spinning out of control until it got to this point. Liars (in this case about money) are likely to become murderers- think Halderson, Jennifer Pan, Bart Whitaker.
That's exactly what I theorize happened to that Diane Schuller -- rather than be exposed as a fraud, she decided to go on a kamkaze run backwards on the highway with 5 horrified kids in tow
I like your podcast. And the good that FB can do, with groups, connections, is why I am staying with it. I am a senior, now.....and it can be used for good. And as you mention, it goes only so far, and then you can investigate further. Such a tragedy, this case....and there are so many others. I watched his testimony yesterday.....and I am glad his desperation and ego prompted it to do it as it makes it obvious. A tragedy.....that almost no one saw coming, only his controlling behavior towards his wife. The rest he hid behind a very good mask.
There’s something in the air or the water down in Florida. So many crazy stories coming out of Florida. What is going on with the people down there?? This is terrible. He killed them all including the poor dog? So sad.
@@NinjaGrrrl7734 New Haven and when I met up with my friend who went to Yale, that area was not good either considering how much Yale takes in and CT rakes in on taxes. Up north is better than FL in every aspect besides the weather
This entire story just reiterates how incredibly true The Joker was in The Dark Knight. A murder in Celebration, FL isn’t part of The Plan. This wasn’t a gangbanger or drug shooting that only happens in “those” neighborhoods. This was the “Little old lady”. Murder isn’t supposed to happen anywhere but for some reason, we think it’s less OK if it happens in good neighborhoods. Good, as in the people who live there have money and the means to pay for expensive things without flinching which is somehow seen as a vaccine against senseless violence (actually, a whole host of other societal problems).
Murder isn't less ok when it happens in good neighborhoods and no one thinks that way. ITs not worse when it happens in bel air its just the shock value of it happening . Those people paid the high price for a house in a safe area . I cant help but notice you seem to have something against upper middle class. The people who own the small businesses that pay good wages and taxes. These people aren't "rich" they are simply money savers . People like you and your ignorance regarding Gross and Net income , federal income tax and the amount actual rich ppl pay . ARE THE REASON DEMOCRATS GET AWAY WITH RAISING TAXES ON THE "RICH" . THEY ACT LIKE "THE RICH" is Jeff BAZOS YET EVERY TIME WHEN YOU READ THE BILL YOU SEE THEY ARE RAISING TAXES ON THOSE MAKING $250,000 A YEAR BEFORE TAXES .See your over here acting like jane doe and her Mcmansion are the problem yet the actual billionaires continue to pay zero taxes . And so Janes fed income tax will INCREASE to 49% from 45%. Imagine starting a business then realizing Uncle Sam takes HALF OF YOUR FUCKING PROFITS VIA FEDERAL INCOME TAX .
after an argument with megan,he slept with zoe at his side..he rolled in his sleep smothering zoe..the wife now distraught went to phone police then tony killed her..the oldest son seeing her murder tried to attack tony but was overpowered n killed..he then killed the other son...the dogs barking was incessant and he killed it too
Tony liked to call himself Dr Todt and referred to his client as patients. He was a physical therapist. Not that there’s anything wrong with that; it’s a nice career, but he wasn’t an MD and his clients were not his patients.
Physical therapists have their doctorate. They are doctors. Not medical doctors, but doctors. My physical therapist goes by her first name but her peers go by Dr and she would be well within her right to be addressed “doctor” by her patients. She just has a massive case of the opposite of power trip/superiority and is very humble
Have I got something wrong here?? Everyone saying that this family had gone missing..and where were they... Why didn't someone just break down the door of their house, they were in the house all the time!!!!
IMO it's sus as soon as his business was closed, phones disconnected etc.. I do wonder if the wife was complacent, knew of and accepted the plan ? From what I understand the wife was telling people about the world ending etc.... Anthony claimed that she was "in a pact" during his police interview
I don’t believe a word he says! His entire family is dead/murders but he tried supposedly 10 times to kill himself and failed?? He’s just like his father!!!
Everyone thinks he's totally full of crap and that his wife was this picture of perfecion. But his full time job was in another state, he had to fly to work. Why would HE choose that? Also, he looked totally normal in pictures when the little girl was a toddler. It wasn't until much closer to the murders that he became morbidly obese. There was clearly some stuff going on with that family. Just because people are related or they were childhood friends, that doesn't mean they know shit about shit. Luckily my relationship is pretty happy but, if it wasn't, no one would really know that unless we wanted or allowed them to. Barely anyone knows of my chronic pain... maybe heard about it in passing but they don't know what impact it has on my life, etc. She was estranged from her mom. Why??? I think people think they know but they really don't have any idea what was going on with the Todt family. Unless they were in that household recently, then their opinion of things certainly shouldn't count as actual evodence against this guy. He's annoying asf, but I think people have allowed that fact to heavily skew their judgement!!!
Im sorry but you guys have 34k. It's not like you guys are super famous or popular channel.. why would you expect the family members to do an interview with you? 🤣
You did excellent work on this podcast. It’s a complicated story and you pieced it together well. I say this with all due respect to the female on the podcast- if you could not speak with a vocal fry it would be a great improvement.
What causes a vocal fry? Vocal fry occurs when there is not enough breath being pushed through the vocal cords. When we breathe, our vocal cords separate. Then when we speak, those cords rub together and the vibration creates sound. If you speak without enough breath, your vocal cords cannot rub together and they create a creaky, hollow sound. Being said, I appreciate Taylor's time and passion in this story personally feel she done great. Jenn there was no sense in posting the negative comments against someone in a huge audience. With all due respect, you should have scrolled on by and kept the negativity it to yourself instead of spreading it upon others. Do better. Mental health is real and it hurts.
Thank you, not sure why I can't find much about this crime. I watched parts of the trial, but had no idea he had $ problems. He made everything sound fine.
So Happy he will never be released BUT so sad he made the worst betrayal against his whole family and even the poor dog didnt escape Sorry ppl dont have bones "out of place " and manipulated back into place I wonder how much benadryl he gave them
I have the same conditions dawns daughter has. It's amazing he was able to treat and help her. This story is so confusing the why's we kinda know but do we really know the whole story
I don't think we do. I'm studying this case at the moment. (Psychology purpose) and I think there is more to this case. His mannerisms and behaviour afterwards in both interviews is very strange compared to him taking the stand. In trial he screams guilty but I get this eery feeling that it didn't happen the way we think. I can't understand why he would stay with the bodies and not try to dispose of the bodies. 3 weeks is along time. Psychotic break? Or maybe this was even more sinister than we think.

What is the name of the other family annihilated in Celebration?
It sounds like a very-creepy town.
I can't find any other story.
Wow I'd love to see that place!
Celebration is definitely a creepy place and the homes are overpriced and crammed together.

I thought Florida had the death penalty.
@@Dustandfuzz So did I.
@@57hippiechick From What I heard in the podcast, they had just got rid of it! It was going to be a death penalty case.
I'll say it again, this is a terrific series
I wonder if the creators even look at their comments so I’ll give you a heart ❤️
@@Pink_143_6 me too, I agree
@@Pink_143_6 I remember you from the Watts case.
Yeah I know right? I really like the part where he killed the dog for no reason .
@@ClaytonBigsby01 😊
It's one thing to kill an adult, but then to go after children as young as age 4!? Pure evil is the only way to describe this.
And an innocent dog too!!
What’s weird is that it seems like Megan was the only one he cared about. She definitely meant more to him than the kids but he also hated her. His constant digs at her in court were shocking. He tried to be subtle about it but that just made it more obvious.
plus the dog
@@Enhancedlies So true. Like wtf was the point in killing the dog at all? This monster kills for the sake of killing.
And the dog. Sorry but the doggy is as important.

@@jenjennitrite8146 Yeah!! Your right, they wanted to wipe their lives out and start again! They should both be on death row!!
What the hell kind of statement is this??
@@tammyduncan719 which statement are you referring to?

Agreed! I came upon it by accident and it’s great.
Excellent reporting, thank you so much for this. Taylor and Sten make great true crime podcasters.
How did she(landlord) get an eviction for missing 1 months rent?

It’s an okay theory but it certainly didn’t go like this. They were all drugged with high doses of Benadryl.
*_Using a photo only for a video is not a good idea._*

Tried to listen but the music is to loud.
SO SAD 😞
the music bed is too high in the mix. you can easily drop it by half. as it is, you have to crank the volume if you have background noise.
So is there a part two to this story
There are several parts
Ge got 4 consecutive life sentence and 1 year for killing the family dog.
Please come to the NW corner, we don't have any local source that comes close to y'all. I'm so jealous of the eastern part of the state now.
He was a therapist not a doctor
He is psychopath.
Have I got something wrong here??
Everyone saying that this family had gone missing..and where were they...
Why didn't someone just break down the door of their house, they were in the house all the time!!!!
Right they were never missing. They were at home
