Too often in these cases the victim had said “if anything happens to me, my partner is the reason”. If things have got so bad you can say that then the relationship is over, get out ASAP
I never get this, either. If I had been poisoned more than once, I’m out and not coming back. Why does anyone wait around for someone to try something ?
@@vladimirputindreadlockrast812 I get that, but in three instances where this was the case, the victims were wealthy. It’s not like he didn’t have the resources to get away from her, so what do you think was holding him back?
The problem is that they could get custody, what kind of mother do you think she is? Have you ever had to give your child to someone you don’t trust? It’s horrible, especially if they beg not to be left. Narcissists often get pregnant immediately after marriage, or to force a marriage. They then hold the children over the other parents head. He probably stayed to keep things somewhat normal for the kids, to protect them.
This woman is just plain evil. She kills her husband, her children’s father for insurance money, and then tries to make even more money off of him by writing a book! Lock her up and throw away the key.! 😡
@darklorddisco Yes these female killers are all kinda cute . Maybe they'll do a calender of the 12 hottest female murders with Jodie Arias, Casey Anthony and of course Amanda Knox on the front cover. I'd buy that for a dollar
Being single is so easy and peaceful. My husband was my best friend, 30yrs together. I forgot how it felt to have silence. The first few months the TV was never on, no music, little web. I miss him and my mom. I lost 6 people close to me. Each one came with such heartache. My husband's was the hardest and still is. Maybe it's because I chose to live my life with him. I couldn't see life without him. Now it's forced upon me. This woman never loved anyone but herself. Yes, life is easier because the only person I have to take care of is myself but I sure miss laughing with my best friend. Be careful if you choose to date.
I’m so sorry for all your losses. But Thanks for sharing, beautiful to know you got to experienced a loving, healthy relationship with your husband. Don’t know the feeling of profound grief but sending you lots of healing 🙏🏽✨
To call this woman a monster is an insult to monsters. I bet she got a rude awakening when Eric changed the will and life insurance. I hope and pray she rots in jail for what she did to the family. And the nerve to write a book after what she did. May she rot in hell. Great analysis Dr. Grande. You did an awesome job covering the case.
I wonder why she didn't think people might look at her sideways with this? When my fiance died, I was thankful for the funeral director and tell you a whole lot about the following days let alone months. I bet her sister-in-law went to the party and confronted her.
The thing is that's how stupid she is, like simply that isn't "Normal" yet it didn't occur to her that she should at least pretend to grieve. OMG. I also have to say I don't get the usual creepy vibe from her which is also worrisome.
Why didn’t the husband leave if he thought his wife was trying to poison him? I guess you really can’t believe someone you married is capable of such evil
If he left and took the children and she called the police, there is a 99% chance the police would side with the woman. I’m sure he thought about it but knew the law was stacked against him.
Murdering your husband, the father of your children, then writing a children's book on coping with grief! Doing TV interviews!!! That's a whole nother level of crazy! Children now orphans...RIP ❤
*The children are not orphaned, as their murdering mother is still alive- though it's very likely that she' will be going to prison' soon, for her terrible crimes. 😔
When I read about this I couldn't believe it. It actually made me speechless. How a mother could be so evil as to plot the murder of her children's father, and force and exploit them into sharing their feelings of grief just so she could use it as source material for her twisted children's book is unbelievable! She's diabolical to the ultimate extreme. She gave him a lethal cocktail to celebrate her financial success? Wow! Just wow!
I think she also wrote the book to throw people off the track. She no doubt thought 'Who could ever possibly think I killed my husband after writing such an emotional and sentient book as a loving tribute to my deceased husband?' Personally, I think that was her Biggest motive for writing it.

I had a former college friend commit a murder-suicide. I say former friend because I distanced myself from him after I graduated. My roommate met him working out in the campus gym. He seemed like a nice guy at first but then red flags started popping up (has a large firearm collection and seems to be obsessed with Nazi Germany). I felt bad for any female who met him on a dating site and that is exactly what happened. His life started to spiral out of control when he lost his job and his father passed away. When his girlfriend broke up with him he just snapped and went after her - murdered her then shot himself in the head.

NO ! You’re wrong. People talking about this man staying with her after the attempted murders. Why would he do that? When men get divorced it can be worse than death. Wife gets everything, the house, alimony, child support. Wife gets rewarded for divorce. Men get a death sentence.
Thank you for pronouncing FentaNYL correctly. I don’t know how or why every law enforcement agency AND every news outlet decided to change the pronunciation to FentaNOL in the past 4-5 years 😫
Why this man kept taking food or drinks from his wife is seriously beyond me!! Especially after the first failed attempt. This one was crazy!! Thank you Dr, another great video with your added humor always puts a smile on my face.
@chrissyknowsitall5170 maybe - just maybe - Eric DIDN'T keep taking food and drinks from Kouri. (nobody ever witnessed her actually make the lethal cocktail and give it to him, did they?) maybe, after the incident with the sandwich that made him violently ill, Eric decided to never again eat or drink anything Kouri handled/prepared outside of his presence. maybe Eric had gotten into the habit of doing that so consistently and for so long that Kouri began (and had a long time) to teach herself how to close/reseal open drink bottles so that, apart from advanced forensic inspection, it was impossible to tell they had already been opened. maybe Eric made the lethal cocktail himself and brought it to bed with him, taking (what he thought was sufficient) care to examine the bottle of each ingredient he used in order to ensure that Kouri had not tampered with it, all the while being completely unaware that she had already contaminated one or more of them with fentanyl...and he died, not due to being dumb enough to consume a drink his wife had made for him but, rather, as a result of not knowing how skilled she had ultimately become at disguising an opened drink bottle to appear as though it had never been opened at all. maybe. just maybe.
@arciphera I do feel so bad like I'm victim shaming. Bye far this isn't his fault at all. And I never want to come off like that. But him telling family members he feels like his wife is trying to poison him and getting so sick after eating food from her. I mean, come on!! Those are some serious 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩!!! But bottom line is she killed the father of her kids. Just get a divorce!!!
She needs to write a new book "You can't be with me" (because I'm in prison) To help grieving kids deal with the fact that their mother is in prison for murdering their father.
Aside from the moral aspect, the stupidity of this crime is staggering. An autopsy is clearly going to find ultra high levels of poison in his system, and she's used an electronic device with a traceable message history to order that poison.
Right? While clearly stating she wanted to kill someone with it. Also expecting to change his life insurance without him being notified - even if she did succeed, did she not think the insurance companies wouldn't investigate his timely death afterwards?
Exactly. Apparently, murderers do not watch the ID Channel, 20/20, 48 Hours, or Dateline. These murders are like reruns but with different characters. I feel so sad for her sons. I hope they can stay together. ❤
Apparently she was trying to say that he had a secret drug addiction.. and accidentally overdosed. All they have to do is test his hair strands and see he doesn’t have any regular opiate use. People like her think they are smarter than everyone else.
She is a true sociopath. A very dangerous person to be with let alone start a family with. My wife was a sociopath and I thank God that I got out unscathed but she did clean out my savings account so almost unscathed. I'm grateful in still alive and kicking tho.
Glad you made it out in one piece. I remember the psychiatrist in the Depp/Heard case stating wives who threaten husbands with false DVs is extremely common. In domestic desputes, like 90%+. If a man were to report DV it's less likely to be believed by anyone. This guy probably went through this in his head, but stayed to protect the kids.
I’m truly puzzled as to why he drank the drink she prepared him especially knowing she had tried to kill him at another time? It’s just puzzling. What an evil wicked woman!!! Her poor sons! She murdered their father in cold blood! Wicked!
Not only cause of trust issues to the max, but women such as her is why I stay single. I'd rather be lonely and alive than hopelessly in love and dead. Sad but true
Same. Alcoholic drinks make it easy to disguise a deadly drug. If you suspect that your wife is trying to kill you and poisoning your food wasn't enough to do it, why on Earth would you accept an alcoholic drink from her? That part, just doesn't make any sense to me.
A friend stayed in her marriage even after she thought her husband was slowly poisoning her food (he cooked at weekends for her but she always got stomach upsets and the related results and she worked away mon-fri). She also thought he was having multiple affairs (little clues no biggie). She didn’t leave immediately because her standard of life would have been awful without him, if she was wrong. Until, suddenly one day she did divorce him. No amount of other people telling, will make a person move on. Each person has their own personal limit.
I knew you'd cover this :( So many evil people out there. The worst, a spouse kills the other, essentially leaving children as orphans - but kind of worse ;(
I can't rationalize why Eric didn't get away. Literally she tried multiple times and he believed she was trying to do it. So why did he stay with her until she finished him off.
He didn't leave because the law is always on the side of the Mom and he wanted to make sure the kids are safe. If he had walked out he would lose access to the kids
Yes, and knowing that, why would he stay and let her do it and leave his children with this woman? Both of them just seemed to not care about their kids at all. He's gone and she's going to prison, what a legacy and horrific memory to leave your kids with. I hope these boys can move past this.
My goodness, her callousness was beyond comprehension. What an utterly sad story. In addition, those kids were left without a father due her selfishness and manipulation. Thank you for the review, Dr. Grande.❤
Dr Grande, there are countless crime channels on UA-cam, but none of them have your humor I found the dark subject matter combined with laughter a particularly entertaining combination . I am addicted to your videos. If you stop, I will have to back to eating bowels of ice cream and pie.
I really liked this one as well. I think Covid has probably benefitted this sort of channel as well. I know I have changed my viewing habits since pre covid ; I spend much more time on UA-cam and much less time going out now. I only do you tube no other social media and I do keep a healthy work/life/ social balance though, for anyone worried !
Why not go into the psychological characteristics of a person that would behave like this, first with multiple poisoning attempts then murder then authoring a children’s book on grief? I think publishing the book is a new level of “duper’s delight” -and did you see her snarl in the morning show interview when she said her husband is with the boys “just in a different way”? That lip curl snarl is contempt. This woman!!!!
One habit I’m trying to pick up from Grande and other people who speak on controversial topics of any kind, is to speak dispassionately, calmly and remove as much emotion as possible. I notice that the most effective and persuasive people nearly unanimously speak in this fashion when addressing hot topics
You nailed this one Dr.Grande! I know that most narcissist or those who believe they did nothing wrong to flip it and try to suck up all the empathy for her. Her making a book is perceived as a loving mother. You can't give love to children if you killed another human being.
It happened 6 days after he told his friend this. Making fun of someone for getting poisoned by a person who he loved is a weird way to try and get a laugh and superfluous likes with a snarky comment is a weird way to get that fleeting dopamine hit a couple likes from a bunch of soulless assholes
Just when I think Dr Grande’s script and delivery couldn’t get any better…You had me absolutely rolling at “unstoppable, super natural“ 10:42 On an empathetic note…I do feel so sad for the little boys losing their whole family in one night. I hope he find peace and therapy to help him through all these big emotions.
I'm REALLY Liking the black curtains, mood lighting and new display table of cactus! 🌵 Dr. Grande covers some very prickly subject with a sharp wit and smooth delivery!
NO ! You’re wrong. People talking about this man staying with her after the attempted murders. Why would he do that? When men get divorced it can be worse than death. Wife gets everything, the house, alimony, child support. Wife gets rewarded for divorce. Men get a death sentence.
I’m curious what the other warning signs were in their marriage besides her trying to poison him. On the 10 to Life episode coverage, the husband said to his sister after he was first poisoned on vacation from a sandwich, that “if anything ever happens to me, it was Kouri.” Usually if a spouse gets sick after a meal made from their significant other, it’s usually chalked up to spoiled food. I wonder what made him immediately jump to this conclusion years ago?
I read about this bizarre case and you have done an amazing analysis (as always). Thanks for your videos - they are always enlightening, entertaining, and insightful.
Very tragic for those young boys. I hope they are able to cope with these unfortunate events in ways that won't damage their future. Thank you for sharing another great analysis Dr. G!
It's the oldest motive known to man for murder: greed. This woman is the human embodiment of the darkest evil. If you don't want to be with your significant other, have an adult conversation and go separate ways. Don't kill them! And the nerve of her to write a book on grief for her kids about their father's death knowing she killed him. She's gonna have a big condo right beside the lake of fire in Hell where she's going for doing this.
I’m so glad I am single, especially when I hear stories like this. After my divorce 13 years ago I thought about dating again but the online dating thing isn’t for me. There are some scary people out there in this world. As much as I would love to spend my retirement (which is about 15 years away) with someone and travel, I am capable of doing that myself.
NO ! You’re wrong. People talking about this man staying with her after the attempted murders. Why would he do that? When men get divorced it can be worse than death. Wife gets everything, the house, alimony, child support. Wife gets rewarded for divorce. Men get a death sentence.
As soon as I saw news outlets releasing videos about this, I was looking forward to your video on it. I always know that you’ll give us all the available details, with little-to-no bias, plus no irritating dramatic background music. Thanks!
Love your channel Todd, your dry sense of humor makes me chuckle...I get it. Some don't, one thing I had to get over was your monotone, but I now find it soothing.
I don't understand why people continue to live with someone who they think is trying to kill them. Do they convince themselves that they are overreacting?
I like the new background. I would have never guessed this look. It has a futuristic feel with a past character. Very interesting without completely understanding why
I think your analysis was spot on. I think she also wrote that book in hopes of making sure she looked innocent what with all the TV appearances and book signings. She has a lot of people feeling sorry for her. It is a shame that the two boys are the victims in all of this. If their mother gets convicted and goes to prison those little boys will be orphans.
It’s odd to stay with a potentially murderous wife, but there is something even weirder in this story: Why on earth didn’t husband let her know that he had changed the life insurance policy back + excluded her from his will? That info would have saved him. It’s like it was more important to him to play this prank on her than to stay alive!
Good point. However, if shes evil enough to do what she did, he could assume she would go ballistic with the news and possibly hurt him and their kids? Maybe he didn't want to "set her off".
I think he would have been terrified of her reaction if he had told her he changed the will back. Either way, she was gonna get him. It’s really too bad he didn’t leave her. Of course, he may have been terrified to do that.
People ask "why didn't he just leave?" Sadly if he had, she probably would have gotten custody unless he was somehow able to prove his suspicions about her, which he likely didn't have concrete evidence for. Also they were just suspicions; he probably didn't truly think she would kill him It's not uncommon for men to stay with abusive women who have exhibited past violent/dangerous behavior, because people tend to underestimate women's potential for evil until it's too late. Domestic violence and homicide are still almost always perceived as something only women need to fear from dangerous men
The first time I heard about this I was like wow she must be cold and calculating. And she still is, but then she poisoned him with a long paper trail and phone call logs. What did she think was going to happen?! The police would just ignore that?
Thanks for the informative analysis of this case, & for the laughs! The one that got me - “Mom, how far away is the Utah Women’s Correctional Prison?” 😂😂😂
Too often in these cases the victim had said “if anything happens to me, my partner is the reason”. If things have got so bad you can say that then the relationship is over, get out ASAP

maybe Eric had gotten into the habit of doing that so consistently and for so long that Kouri began (and had a long time) to teach herself how to close/reseal open drink bottles so that, apart from advanced forensic inspection, it was impossible to tell they had already been opened.
maybe Eric made the lethal cocktail himself and brought it to bed with him, taking (what he thought was sufficient) care to examine the bottle of each ingredient he used in order to ensure that Kouri had not tampered with it, all the while being completely unaware that she had already contaminated one or more of them with fentanyl...and he died, not due to being dumb enough to consume a drink his wife had made for him but, rather, as a result of not knowing how skilled she had ultimately become at disguising an opened drink bottle to appear as though it had never been opened at all.
maybe. just maybe.
@arciphera I do feel so bad like I'm victim shaming. Bye far this isn't his fault at all. And I never want to come off like that. But him telling family members he feels like his wife is trying to poison him and getting so sick after eating food from her. I mean, come on!! Those are some serious 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩!!! But bottom line is she killed the father of her kids. Just get a divorce!!!
She needs to write a new book "You can't be with me" (because I'm in prison) To help grieving kids deal with the fact that their mother is in prison for murdering their father.
Featuring a prologue from Aafia Siddiqui 😂
Aside from the moral aspect, the stupidity of this crime is staggering. An autopsy is clearly going to find ultra high levels of poison in his system, and she's used an electronic device with a traceable message history to order that poison.
Right? While clearly stating she wanted to kill someone with it.
Also expecting to change his life insurance without him being notified - even if she did succeed, did she not think the insurance companies wouldn't investigate his timely death afterwards?
Exactly. Apparently, murderers do not watch the ID Channel, 20/20, 48 Hours, or Dateline. These murders are like reruns but with different characters. I feel so sad for her sons. I hope they can stay together. ❤
Yeah she’s not obviously not a criminal mastermind
Apparently she was trying to say that he had a secret drug addiction.. and accidentally overdosed. All they have to do is test his hair strands and see he doesn’t have any regular opiate use. People like her think they are smarter than everyone else.
Yep. Stupid
Not only did she kill the father of her kids, she then made their grief about her by writing a 'book' for them. Good God.
She is a true sociopath. A very dangerous person to be with let alone start a family with. My wife was a sociopath and I thank God that I got out unscathed but she did clean out my savings account so almost unscathed. I'm grateful in still alive and kicking tho.
Divorces cost so much because it's worth it!
I can relate to experiencing a marriage like this.
Once I left I never talked to my ex again. Not a word.
Glad you made it out in one piece. I remember the psychiatrist in the Depp/Heard case stating wives who threaten husbands with false DVs is extremely common. In domestic desputes, like 90%+. If a man were to report DV it's less likely to be believed by anyone. This guy probably went through this in his head, but stayed to protect the kids.
Dr Grande, your deadpan disclosures on these cases, and your wry sense of humour has me hooked. What a fun channel!
Join the club.
What she did was appalling on many levels, but the book just took it to a whole new level. Thanks Dr. Grande.
I’m truly puzzled as to why he drank the drink she prepared him especially knowing she had tried to kill him at another time? It’s just puzzling. What an evil wicked woman!!! Her poor sons! She murdered their father in cold blood! Wicked!
Not only cause of trust issues to the max, but women such as her is why I stay single. I'd rather be lonely and alive than hopelessly in love and dead. Sad but true
@@turkeydoctor5546 More men kill themselves because of loneliness than are murdered by their wives.
@@MrAerohank Haha, yeah, prob way more.
Same. Alcoholic drinks make it easy to disguise a deadly drug. If you suspect that your wife is trying to kill you and poisoning your food wasn't enough to do it, why on Earth would you accept an alcoholic drink from her? That part, just doesn't make any sense to me.
@@turkeydoctor5546 more men murder their wives than wives murder their husbands.
This soulless, vile creature took away both parents. May she have the most stringent sentence once she’s found guilty. 🤬
She probably never thought she would be caught.
A friend stayed in her marriage even after she thought her husband was slowly poisoning her food (he cooked at weekends for her but she always got stomach upsets and the related results and she worked away mon-fri). She also thought he was having multiple affairs (little clues no biggie). She didn’t leave immediately because her standard of life would have been awful without him, if she was wrong. Until, suddenly one day she did divorce him. No amount of other people telling, will make a person move on. Each person has their own personal limit.
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about what could be happening during a publishing venture like this.
I knew you'd cover this :(
So many evil people out there. The worst, a spouse kills the other, essentially leaving children as orphans - but kind of worse ;(
I can't rationalize why Eric didn't get away. Literally she tried multiple times and he believed she was trying to do it. So why did he stay with her until she finished him off.
Exactly my question!
The children and his religion.
He didn't leave because the law is always on the side of the Mom and he wanted to make sure the kids are safe. If he had walked out he would lose access to the kids
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!
Yes, and knowing that, why would he stay and let her do it and leave his children with this woman? Both of them just seemed to not care about their kids at all. He's gone and she's going to prison, what a legacy and horrific memory to leave your kids with. I hope these boys can move past this.
Omg. The sarcasm is so flipping hilarious. It’s such a dark subject but seriously, I was almost laughing during the analysis
My goodness, her callousness was beyond comprehension. What an utterly sad story. In addition, those kids were left without a father due her selfishness and manipulation.
Thank you for the review, Dr. Grande.❤
Dr Grande, there are countless crime channels on UA-cam, but none of them have your humor I found the dark subject matter combined with laughter a particularly entertaining combination . I am addicted to your videos. If you stop, I will have to back to eating bowels of ice cream and pie.
I really liked this one as well. I think Covid has probably benefitted this sort of channel as well. I know I have changed my viewing habits since pre covid ; I spend much more time on UA-cam and much less time going out now. I only do you tube no other social media and I do keep a healthy work/life/ social balance though, for anyone worried !
Why not go into the psychological characteristics of a person that would behave like this, first with multiple poisoning attempts then murder then authoring a children’s book on grief? I think publishing the book is a new level of “duper’s delight” -and did you see her snarl in the morning show interview when she said her husband is with the boys “just in a different way”? That lip curl snarl is contempt. This woman!!!!
Dr Grande you are a wild boy with the commentary on this one! Sad situation but you had me cracking up. I love your sense of humor.
One habit I’m trying to pick up from Grande and other people who speak on controversial topics of any kind, is to speak dispassionately, calmly and remove as much emotion as possible. I notice that the most effective and persuasive people nearly unanimously speak in this fashion when addressing hot topics
Thank goodness Dr Grande has a sense of humour - straight-faced. Clever man!!
You nailed this one Dr.Grande! I know that most narcissist or those who believe they did nothing wrong to flip it and try to suck up all the empathy for her. Her making a book is perceived as a loving mother. You can't give love to children if you killed another human being.
Sure you can, military men and women do it all the time.
Your description of the book's genres 😂 I'm laughing at my desk and now my boss is looking at me, I hope you're happy.
Oopsie! Another reason I love working from home! 😂😂😳
How many times you need to get out a marriage if you doubt that your wife is trying to kill you? Only one time.
It’s not as easy as that though to get out like that
It happened 6 days after he told his friend this. Making fun of someone for getting poisoned by a person who he loved is a weird way to try and get a laugh and superfluous likes with a snarky comment is a weird way to get that fleeting dopamine hit a couple likes from a bunch of soulless assholes
@@kevinhornbuckle reread your comment, what super sense must one possess to know things before they happen?
I almost lost it when Dr Grande listed all the different times he thought she poisoned him. Like how many hints do you need to GET OUT!!
I assume he had custody concerns.
Once again- you say it with the facts, humour and keen Insight!
Love you Dr. Grande!!!
Just when I think Dr Grande’s script and delivery couldn’t get any better…You had me absolutely rolling at “unstoppable, super natural“ 10:42
On an empathetic note…I do feel so sad for the little boys losing their whole family in one night. I hope he find peace and therapy to help him through all these big emotions.
I'm REALLY Liking the black curtains, mood lighting and new display table of cactus! 🌵 Dr. Grande covers some very prickly subject with a sharp wit and smooth delivery!
I just saw this in my news feed, read briefly the situation. She was so evil. I love getting your analysis which is always awesome. Thanks Dr G😊💜💜
"For someone standing between Kouri and money, not far..." oh the shade Dr. G, the shade of it all!
That last book title, oh my goodness 🤭
So sad! He was so suspicious, and the gall she had, wow! Praying for the kids and families 🙏🏾
If you think your spouse has poisoned you then it's time to leave immediately
NO ! You’re wrong. People talking about this man staying with her after the attempted murders. Why would he do that? When men get divorced it can be worse than death. Wife gets everything, the house, alimony, child support. Wife gets rewarded for divorce. Men get a death sentence.
I’m curious what the other warning signs were in their marriage besides her trying to poison him. On the 10 to Life episode coverage, the husband said to his sister after he was first poisoned on vacation from a sandwich, that “if anything ever happens to me, it was Kouri.” Usually if a spouse gets sick after a meal made from their significant other, it’s usually chalked up to spoiled food. I wonder what made him immediately jump to this conclusion years ago?
Thank you sir.
This one is unbelivebly
Monstrous!
I read about this bizarre case and you have done an amazing analysis (as always). Thanks for your videos - they are always enlightening, entertaining, and insightful.
Very tragic for those young boys. I hope they are able to cope with these
unfortunate events in ways that won't damage their future. Thank you for sharing another great analysis Dr. G!
I literally just saw this news story on Law & Crime. She is something else!
It's the oldest motive known to man for murder: greed. This woman is the human embodiment of the darkest evil. If you don't want to be with your significant other, have an adult conversation and go separate ways. Don't kill them! And the nerve of her to write a book on grief for her kids about their father's death knowing she killed him. She's gonna have a big condo right beside the lake of fire in Hell where she's going for doing this.
She didn't just want to not be with him, she wanted to get all his money.
@@horsepanther did you miss the whole greed part? 😁. I said that at the beginning to underscore how awful this crime was.
I’m so glad I am single, especially when I hear stories like this. After my divorce 13 years ago I thought about dating again but the online dating thing isn’t for me. There are some scary people out there in this world. As much as I would love to spend my retirement (which is about 15 years away) with someone and travel, I am capable of doing that myself.
Online dating is a full-blown disgrace!! I'm thirty-eight.
Yes, you DEFINITELY are. I've done LOTS of solo traveling, and plan to do more. LOTS of people do it.
Good luck. You'll need it, lots of it.
@@hydrohasspoken6227 Uh thanks. 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t understand how people who suspect that their spouse is trying to kill them.. spending one more day in the same house as them.
Denial. Excuses, justifications, downplaying
Lack of finances. Issues with child custody. It can cost $50,000 to divorce a narcissist. Do you have that? It’s ugly.
You underestimate how strong denial can be... especially when it comes to the thought of the person you love thr most trying to end your life.
NO ! You’re wrong. People talking about this man staying with her after the attempted murders. Why would he do that? When men get divorced it can be worse than death. Wife gets everything, the house, alimony, child support. Wife gets rewarded for divorce. Men get a death sentence.
Why would he stay with a woman he thought repeatedly poisoned him? WTF
Dr. Grande, I love your sense of humor!!!!!
As soon as I saw news outlets releasing videos about this, I was looking forward to your video on it. I always know that you’ll give us all the available details, with little-to-no bias, plus no irritating dramatic background music. Thanks!
Love your channel Todd, your dry sense of humor makes me chuckle...I get it. Some don't, one thing I had to get over was your monotone, but I now find it soothing.
I don't understand why people continue to live with someone who they think is trying to kill them. Do they convince themselves that they are overreacting?
Dr grande good stuff. You’re a real bad ass!
I like the new background. I would have never guessed this look. It has a futuristic feel with a past character. Very interesting without completely understanding why
Your sense of humor is the best part of this channel.
We appreciate Dr's Grande's hard and effort. God bless him and everyone here.
Always on point doc and with a dose of humor.. God bless from New Zealand south island ❤
Dr. Grande does his usual great analysis. Oh these people from Utah; They seem to think murder is not as bad as divorce.
With a divorce you only get half
Good one Dr. G 😮
Big ups Dr Grande been a subscriber for a few years now hope all is well
Lovin the sense of humor of the doc!
I think your analysis was spot on. I think she also wrote that book in hopes of making sure she looked innocent what with all the TV appearances and book signings. She has a lot of people feeling sorry for her. It is a shame that the two boys are the victims in all of this. If their mother gets convicted and goes to prison those little boys will be orphans.
It's better than staying with her and being murdered like their father though
"Mommy, How Far Away Is Heaven?": Does anyone else get the impression from the follow-on book title that her next move was to murder her children???
The curtains are giving me funeral home vibes.
I’m feeling so sad for his children of course and his parents. I can’t even imagine what they are feeling😢
I know....[oor kids.....
I can't believe he accepted a drink from that monster.
You’re straight faced sarcasm cracks me up! But on the other hand, my heart goes out to those children.
Wow Doc! I thought this one would take a few days to research. You’re so on top of breaking crazy! Thanks!
It's been a few days . I've been wanting for his analysis :(
Wow - what a woman! Thank you for sharing this story Dr. Grande. I enjoyed your snarky humorous comments. And Kouri deserves them.
And how he just deadpans them. 😂
Money brings out the true color of someone - family, friends, spouse..
You are the only UA-camr who got the Propofol correct. How she planned on administering this anesthetic IV, is a mystery to me.
Also wish to add, Dr. Grande, you covered this story so eloquently, thank you.
Hey, Doc. Love your work! But, I'm curious when we can expect a new episode of your podcast?
Dr. I appreciate your sense of humor - thank you for your great story telling skills - accompanied with your professional insight
Great analysis! So sad for those children 😢
Always love your commentary 😅
Lol, "Mom, how far away is prison?"
It’s odd to stay with a potentially murderous wife, but there is something even weirder in this story: Why on earth didn’t husband let her know that he had changed the life insurance policy back + excluded her from his will? That info would have saved him. It’s like it was more important to him to play this prank on her than to stay alive!
Good point. However, if shes evil enough to do what she did, he could assume she would go ballistic with the news and possibly hurt him and their kids? Maybe he didn't want to "set her off".
I think he would have been terrified of her reaction if he had told her he changed the will back. Either way, she was gonna get him. It’s really too bad he didn’t leave her. Of course, he may have been terrified to do that.
A great analysis of an absolutely bizarre case.
Eric: not very good in preserving his own life.
Kouri: not very good at a perfect murder.
Great analysis. I had no idea you could be so funny and deadpan. Your comments toward the end of the video are hilarious! Nicely done.
People ask "why didn't he just leave?" Sadly if he had, she probably would have gotten custody unless he was somehow able to prove his suspicions about her, which he likely didn't have concrete evidence for. Also they were just suspicions; he probably didn't truly think she would kill him
It's not uncommon for men to stay with abusive women who have exhibited past violent/dangerous behavior, because people tend to underestimate women's potential for evil until it's too late. Domestic violence and homicide are still almost always perceived as something only women need to fear from dangerous men
As always Dr. Grande, You Nailed It!
The first time I heard about this I was like wow she must be cold and calculating. And she still is, but then she poisoned him with a long paper trail and phone call logs. What did she think was going to happen?! The police would just ignore that?
Sometimes I wish I had that kind of confidence. But then I realize it’s better to be competent and insecure 😂
A lot of wealthy people think laws are for poors
Excellent analysis!
Those hurting children. Pray for them.
The humor is wonderful. Fine work!
Thanks for the informative analysis of this case, & for the laughs! The one that got me - “Mom, how far away is the Utah Women’s Correctional Prison?” 😂😂😂
