If her family does not side with her even in her death, with all the forensic evidence proving the husband to be the killer, i doný think they would have supported her if she ever complainted about her marriage. Maybe that's why she shut up. I'm familiar with this kind of family.
ive had girl friends who are in the happiest, mosgt supportive relationships and they still complain about their significant others. suspicious that she says she "NEVER" did.... yeah i call bullshit
I was in an abusive relationship when I was in my 20s. Nobody knew. Nobody. Not my family or friends. And when I left him and told people what he’d done, there were several people that did not believe me. So I absolutely believe that he was abusive. It happens more than most people realize. And it’s awful to live that way. That poor woman.
When I told my mother my husband was a violent bully, she fell about laughing. She thought he was perfect and that I was “lucky to get him”. When we divorced, my family took his side. He was very charming - outside the home. No-one knows what is going on in someone else’s marriage; there may have been trouble in paradise long before Todd killed his wife.
I'll never understand that. I abhor violence. I find it highly degenerative and toxic to the goals of our social evolution. However..... If my daughter even hinted that her SO was violent or intimidating, my wife would need to bail me out of jail later that same day. I don't even see how it could be possible to take something like that lightly or not look into it.
Abusers work extremely hard on their image outside the home. They overcompensate, and it's no surprise that the family defended him and called their marriage perfect.
Yeah it’s scaring me idk after seeing all the evidence idc how good I saw their relationship I would immediately see him as a psycho and look for the red flags...
My mom got out of a marriage like this. No one could believe that my dad could do anything wrong. But o was a witness - and behind closed doors he was so cruel to both my mom and us kids. She had to surprise leave. I’m glad she was smart enough not to warn him. I think some of these women seal their own fate when they reveal their plans and her husband snaps. Maybe that’s what happened in this case. He couldn’t bear the thought of having his/their perfect image tarnished.
In my 20’s I had a boyfriend that everyone loved. He won over my own family. One day when we both thought no one was home, my boyfriend hit me so hard that he knocked me to my knees. My mother heard the entire thing from upstairs and all she said was she thought it was time for him to go home. The next weekend we both joined my family on a day trip to a brunch at a Oregon resort restaurant. My parents thought this man loved me and I should be grateful that.I had someone who was always following me and keeping up with my every movement. Devotion it was called. Did he love me? No , he wanted to keep me under control. When the next beating happened , a few weeks later, I decided I’d had enough “love and devotion “. Although you couldn’t really call it a break up , until I left the state to pursue my own dreams, I was ridiculed by our mutual “friends” and by some of my “family “ because I’d “never find someone who’d love me like this man loved me “. This was right before cell phones and text messages but I was still under his thumb. My point is that I can see how Barb was hounded by her husband and still after her murder , nearly every one else didn’t think Todd could have been guilty. This type of men are master manipulators. Barb could have kept quiet for the same reason I did, her husband was better at pulling the wool over people’s eyes than she was in telling the truth. My heart broke when my family ignored the signs in favor of my boyfriend, I can only imagine that Barb knew she wouldn’t be believed and probably decided that for the sake of family ( her children and grand child mostly) she’d endure hell on earth before opening her heart up one more time to people who just wouldn’t listen. Rest In Peace Barb.
Thank you for sharing your story. All my respect for you for getting out of that toxic relationship before it was too late, like in this woman's case, marriage and children certainly do not make that step easy. I pray more women manage to escape from abusive relationships just like you did.
@@ManaSura_ Thank you so much it means more than you know. I didn’t have children and I think you are right that it’s got to be much more difficult if not impossible. I think it’s time I volunteer or something because it scares me to think of the women out there who need help or may die.
He was a control freak. I was married to one many years ago. Nobody would believe me if I told them what he was really like because these people are charming. You don't even bother trying. But if you decide to leave the marriage, they go totally crazy. He was thankfully sent to prison. Nice one.
Could very well be. He certainly should have had other things going on in his life, even if he didn't commit the crime. Nobody deserves death for not-being a good match with you, and no relationship is worth losing your freedom over.
Did they look at cell phone records to see if she was having an affair? If she was planning to leave, would she have spoken with anyone about that before telling her husband? Did she ever tell anyone she felt trapped and smothered? Maybe she enjoyed having him dote on her that way?
@@cretelizard71 My thoughts exactly ! Either an affair or she just wanted out - a divorce that he would never, ever have accepted, hence the killing. Possibly even premeditated, considering the suspicious journey.
Yeah - hear you - I had one too (nowhere near as bad as Mr Kendhammer or yours- but mine invented road rage (yes we are THAT old - we just called it weird behaviour then) and was developing into a prize control freak - when I told him I was leaving he threatened suicide - I told him "Be my guest" - he knew I was not joking - he's still alive 35 years later. Funny that.
I was I a controlling and emotionally abusive relationship for a long time. Everyone loved him, no one believed he was capable of the things he did. I suffered a lot in silence
Thats so awful. Can't imagine that pain. Sincerely hope things are happier for you now. I never noticed a situation right in front of me w a sistet i saw 6days a week. 7years. He's 99% guilty, but my experience w my sis made me forever sceptical on "facts" and "evidence" the full 100%. I Don't Ever want to be that wrong again.
It's kind of your fault for letting that get as bad. A _smart_ person would have immediately left and realized that someone like that couldn't actually do a fucking thing. But let me guess, you let your worthless fucking emotions control what you did, right? Typical.
I know how you feel. Please don´t let somebody shame you for staying so long. There are some horrible trolls out here who love to victim blame and tell uns abused, that we are stupid for putting up with our abusers. I know its hard to understand, that somebody can manipulate your view and tell you over and over again, that you are weak, nobody likes you and you cant survive on your own.... I always pushed back (we have a child together otherwise I would have left him earlier) and he hated that I didn´t like to take shit from him. It ended when he finally snapped and assaulted me- that was the final straw. He is in psychic care now and I live humble but happy with our child.
If you have an abusing spouse, it never gets more dangerous, than when you try to leave. Telling them that you're your own person, and not theirs to control, is often a death sentence
That's exactly the conclusion I came up with. She might have just threatened to leave because he was being abusive and he snapped. She's his property and he wouldn't stand for that! There is no doubt whatsoever he did it. Zero! Zip! Zilch!
That last part... "When you put pressure on people to have a perfect marriage, it makes it harder to give them bad news..." honestly, stand by your children. Period. Believe them. This is unbelievable in the amount of evidence presented. Barbara deserves better.
I was watching one of your last videos in Texas while I was walking on a jogging path. The man walking passed me heard you say *Tree* and stopped me and said "you watch *That Chapter* too?!" We talked about your video on the *Texas Killing Fields* because there was a recent development in the case. But it looks like you're really reaching people, *Mike.* 👍
Same happened to me at the store. Was watching while in line waiting and woman behind me was like "TC upload a new one!" We ended up watching it together while in line and now I have a new friend. Neat huh?
The biggest hole in his story for me was NO BLOOD on the pole...that was his whole story... _that this pole came through the windshield and killed her_ ...and there is no blood on the pole? Ummmm how does a pole kill you if it never had contact with your person? Add in ALL the other evidence...holy shit! I guess that family is a *whole lot of stupid!* Just because you never saw this guy beat her up doesn't mean he didn't kill her...it means Zip!
@@LifesPeachy321 i guess he said it impaled ? And remove it from the head and did CPR . That was an obvious lie if there is no blood. But if he said the pipe came through the windshield and hit her on the head , that would explain the injury to the back of her head , coz if she saw the pipe coming through and she went to a braced position, there is a possibility to hit it on the back of the head. Investigators would have found the source of the pipe, may be it matches something in the house or near by construction site , blood in the garage ? to place him in another location at the time of the murder.
@@yasoozie Don't forget his claim that it fell from an ONCOMING truck. Even if it rolled off the side of a truck, it could not possibly go straight through the passenger side of the windshield. It could hit their car, sure, even hit the windshield, but it would likely roll or bounce off.
Honestly, I think every boss is like that. If you’re not at your shift 30min before (sometimes) it’s very questionable and sometimes it’s not even about being worried, sometimes they might be irritated bc you’re late for work.
Maybe she was in the habit of arriving a few minutes early. I used to get to my work ten minutes early because of the bus schedule. I had no choice. Her husband may have normally dropped her off early, so when she wasn't there the boss may have figured something was wrong.
That Chapter has so much quality content and is my favourite channel on UA-cam. Despite binging old episodes, since finding your channel, I’ve still about 33% of vids left to watch. Keep up the brilliant work
During that movie's production they tried and tried, but no matter what, they couldn't get a real log to bounce that way. So they HAD to use CGI make the logs act they way they did.
Miranda Brooks (I’m a former police officer) The recording isn’t for the police, it’s for the jury. The detectives can understand it because they have context, but a jury doesn’t. A defense attorney can get a transcript thrown out easily. We had a few defense attorneys challenge our taped interrogations because of poor audio quality. My original comment was coming from a place of frustration with my own departments audio equipment as much as it was this departments. I should have been more clear 👍🏻
No, American police need to continue to fill their pockets with tax payers money... no money left to waste on stupid cameras/ hygienic, humane prison environments
Poor Barbara. Even after a brutal death at the hands of her “ great guy” husband, NO ONE from her family stands up for her. I stand with you Barbara. I can see the needy desperation of the man & how suffocating the attention he demanded from you must have been.
You’re forgetting one thing Billy. If they are asked questions about their relationship on the stand. They are obligated to tell the truth as to how they viewed their relationship before she died when asked in a court of law.
@@ashleydunstan5393 they have all stated they stand with Todd. her first cousin said that there were seats available for anyone who wanted to sit on Barbara's side but no one was there. his lawyer used her family still supporting him as an excuse to let him out of prison early
It’s heartbreaking. I’m watching the 48 Hours episode on this case and there is no sadness that Barbara lost her life. Even if the BS story was true, that’s still a horrific way to go and should be mourned.
dada mae evans Stepson, that says it all right there, she must have been a Peach to be married too...... surprised he wasn’t the victim In this accident with a pipe wrapped around the back of his head
@@ArtOfficialKreations Possibly because investigators and first responders would be questioning him why on earth he waited to report his wife as badly hurt.
I find you one of the most entertaining UA-camrs that I’ve ever been subscribed to. I always get so excited when I see a new video notification. Thanks for your hard work!
He absolutely did it. He basically dissolved in fear when confronted with the evidence from the male detectives. Men that commit domestic abuse are usually cowards that shit themselves when someone bigger or more powerful confronts them. His leg was bouncing like crazy, he was close to hyperventilate from fear in that interview trying to explain the impossible.
Or his surprise and stress levels went through the roof - just lost his wife and now accused of the unimaginable. It is fairly easy to watch and say "oh look at him", without taking into consideration the devastating trauma that occurred and now being accused...Put yourself in those shoes - it would be traumatic, it would be devastating to be accused like that - I think under it all, he did well, most confess - who are guilty-
The evidence that Todd murdered his wife is obvious. There is no evidence that his version of the story is true. I think I saw this on Dave's Lemonade too. Or it could have been Enigma. I'm not sure.
"Their relationship was perfect." Ahem. How many freaking times have you been shocked to discover that the relationship you thought was "perfect", was not so?
Perfect relationships don't exist. They always need care. If you never saw anything negative, it just means you weren't looking. But just because relationships get rough doesn't mean they're bad. Some folks think it's all one way or the other, which is insane to think that these people also date.
Nobody has a "perfect marriage." She NEVER complained about her husband to her friends? They NEVER had a difficult time? That's impossible. Sounds too good to be true. And I agree with comments below about his lying abilities...not so great.
I thought the same. It was even stranger that the family was so quick to defend him, then again, from my experience at least, family will tend to believe anything when that person appears as a fine, 'upstanding' citizen on the surface - someone they 'trust'. Doubt they would've supported her regardless. I personally think he went into a blind rage only to have the severity of what he did and the consequences behind it hit him later. He seemed rather disoriented as well as scared/panicked. A weird case indeed. I can't begin to imagine what those 25 years must've held for her.
People who are literally with their significant other all the time, drop them off controlling their access to transportation, never hang out with friends without the other person there, call multiple times during the work day etc: that is a classic codependent toxic relationship that is probably emotionally manipulative. When one person makes a move to assert their individuality the other will explosively react.
I was having dinner one evening with friends who seemed to have a perfect family. I rathered be at there house than mine. When the daughter made a joke about getting in an interracial relationship the father flew in a violent rant, throwing his salad and food at her and the mother for trying to calm him. He then asked me to leave. This came out of nowhere and still shocks me. I had known them and been over for years and never saw that in him. It could be anything with some people.
I would have had a hard time not saying "all right, as long as they come with me, because if that's what you do in front of company I don't want to know what happens in private."
Even if the relatives were right, if their relationship was absolutely perfect without psychological pressure or anything, that doesn't mean he didn't snap suddenly for unexplained reasons. The evidence is so obvious, the pipe without blood, the strangulation marks, the back of the skull broken, bruises on the biceps, broken glass where there shouldn't be and no broken glass where there should be, scratch marks on the husband and broken nails on the victim, no truck corresponding to the description, witness saying he saw the car already there without anyone inside and an intact windshield, lies from the husband about pretty much all their schedule.. I mean if that's not enough, then we should just all wait for murderers to gently confess. The family is delusional
All I'm saying is I've seen scratches like that before, and it's most certainly from fingernails, not to mention, damage to knuckles like that is clearly from punching or hitting something. That wasn't car accident damage.
You literally have zero evidence of that. Her best friend, mother, or someone close in her life would of known if that were the case, and she never even got close to saying that. That’s not something you up and decide out of nowhere without telling your best friend.
B Apparently not cause it seems like they never suspected a thing or it was all set aside as nothing really. Wife probably suffered in silence from abuse and I wouldn’t be surprised if the family didn’t believe her if she tried telling them.
I think she caught him wearing her clothes, his deer buddies wouldn't like that 😂 no idea just a thought he sounds like a woman on the 911 call and he is different 😂
I get that abusers don’t go around announcing to the world that they’re beating the shit out of their wife, but it doesn’t look as if barb had anyone in her life who cared about her enough to notice the signs of an abusive relationship,
@@cactusmalone ..no it's really not the same thing as defending a murderer, bud lol But I can see you're a sensitive butt-hurt whiner..jumping to defending those who defend murderers -_- If your brother was found to be a serial killer, would you defend them and talk about how nice to you they always were? And defend them for being a 'good' person and choosing to believe they are innocent even after they confess and are proven guilty? Probably not.
I went to West Salem Middle School in 2016, where Barbara worked. I remember the day everyone found out she had died. It was extremely hard to see the faculty try to continue working without her there. For atleast the next few years they kept little paper hearts next to her staff name plate on the kitchen door. What a horrific case.
While his supporters may have good intentions, they are unwilling to see beyond the phony facade of Todd and Barbara's relationship. No one has a perfect relationship... period.
James S, so true. Unfortunately, many people who grow up with domestic violence see it as completely normal. So, to Todd and Barbara’s friends and family, him hurting her was a sign of love. Growing up in the rural MidWest, I knew a lot of families like that. It’s really sad.
@@Steampunkkids maybe there was no signs of violence, barb never said anything and when together they looked fine. Its a slippery slop to start making up stories in court to paint the accused in a bad light because it fits what you believe may have happened.
yeah nah abuse goes deeper than being violent. Emotional, verbal, financial and mental abuse are just as valid as physical abuse. A lot of times people don’t realize that they’re being emotionally/mentally abused until they leave that relationship and get into a relationship and things change.
I found it poignant the defense lawyer asked the witnesses if they "saw" bruises or injuries. Any abuser knows that you mark the body where it can easily be covered. Furthermore, it was more common for past generations to accept controlling, jealous, emotionally and verbally abusive relationships as normal. What is strange in their testimony is they said the couple was always happy and never complained. No relationship is ever that good; everyone argues.
These officers did an excellent job interviewing this man. They lead him to the water, let him drink and then used the information he gave them to let him know he was screwed, by his own words.
They were playing with a STACKED Deck. The Forensics were pointing towards her beating beaten and they knew coming in he would say it was the pole. But they also knew he absolutely did not understand Forensics and they knew they had the Forensics Information and he did not. He was nervous as hell because he knew what he did was extremely risky and would hope the police wouldnt investigate?or be too dumb to realize?? He knew he was basically caught right away. He should have shut up to be honest and got a lawyer right away.
@@lr6477 Me neither. I'm a Black woman from Mississippi, privileged and very much aware... There are many diff justice systems in 🇺🇸...This family seems to be poor-middle class the police/government will easily treat them like they're less than trash.
1. How could anyone stick that voice for 25 years? 2. There have been so many ridiculous stories of the husband of an obviously attacked woman saying, oh, sure, she killed herself, and the police saying, fair enough mate, sure why would we autopsy and investigate that. I'm not surprised he thought this ridiculous story would be believed
That's what I thought. The man's voice is so irritating, high pitched and sounds like a weird cartoon character. Aside from that though, I also believe, having just seen the 48 Hours episode about this case, that he's guilty as hell of his wife's murder and the so-called 'experts' who seemed to believe he may have suffered traumatic memory loss (as a reason for why he gave so many lies to detectives questioning him about why he didn't drive Barbara to work that morning but, instead, drove in entirely the opposite direction) couldn't give conclusive proof one way or the other as to why he gave differing accounts of what (he claimed) happened, as to how Barbara's injuries were sustained, etc. All of the so-called expert evidence seemed to be mainly speculative, not necessarily fact in this case. I believe that, far from having a supposedly blissfully happy marriage, the Kendhammers had problems, as do many couples, and that Barbara may have wanted out of the marriage. Todd, I'm sure, knew that she may have been able to move on, and find someone better for her, than he ever would and that he would not allow her to leave the marriage. I also believe that his son & daughter are deluded in thinking that their parents' marriage was wonderful and that their father could never have harmed their mother. They're adults and they need to face reality instead of having their head in the clouds and wasting time trying to get a guilty man freed from prison. As 'unpalatable' as the truth may be, their father seems to now be exactly where he belongs - behind bars.
Truth tellers usually use contractions, "I didn't kill her" liars usually dont, " I did not kill her". The try to overcompensate, similar to when someone telling a made up story/lie and give too many or weird details trying too hard to make it seem legit.
Any relationship can look “perfect” from the outside looking in. He seems really possessive of her, and it can be hard to distinguish between that and love and devotion. Only the people behind closed doors know the real truth.
J Smalls my own experience of my seemingly “perfect Christian marriage” of 11 years!!! 1989-2002: My religiously church attending husband & bible college student - physically abused me 5xs and verbally abused me constantly- not around other people! I told NO ONE & could not talk about any of IT for over 15 yrs After my divorce! I didn’t tell my mother, nor my grandmother, nor my church friends - I told no one ! It’s embarrassing and I have too much ridiculous pride & church teaches us to pray & forgive & pray & forgive & that God fix’s everything! Constantly taught that - forgive forgive accept and church doesn’t address potential abuse in marriages not any church that I attended then regularly !!! === I met a lady 3 yrs ago randomly on a plane ride & somehow she opened up to me about her physically abusive preacher husband that she ran away from after 20+ yrs of marriage & she told me with tears in her eyes that she keep up the fake smile for years & told NO ONE! She literally ran away from her preacher husband and hid from him!!! I needed to hear what she had to say ! === PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE! They DO NOT KNOW -ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DO NOT LIVE WITH THAT ABUSER CONTROL FREAK with serious self righteous egos ! 24/7 It’s embarrassing to admit and tell even now ! It’s my experience and I’ve learned to have real peace now yet I tell my experience to enlighten people now of truth vs fiction & deceit & lies Many People are dogmatic and think they know everything about other people with little or no facts !!! === If I had to do over now > I would have security cameras hidden in my home then I would have real proof then my story would have solid evidence!!! Then people would believe me not crazy !!! My x husband to this day -20 yrs later - will never admit or apologize properly what he did to me several times - to him “it never happened” And my reason for leaving him, my home, my things, my young children and didn’t take any of HIS MONEY! Was because he verbally threatened to “make me disappear” constantly! He had the power & “his money” over me that forced me to leave with a 5000$ car 12 yr old used car I got to get away from him in 2002 and my clothes (he drove & still drives a corvette & has his big house! He tried brainwashing family, friends & my CHILDREN that I just couldn’t take being a mom & wife anymore so I left like a coward! Quote! The real people hurt severely were my 3 beautiful confused children I left with their father - my abusive seemingly perfect husband === Consequences will hit him like a ton of hot coals pouring down over his head one day - because that’s laws of the universe - I know 1 day it will hit him like a frying pan to the face He’s so fake nice to me now & 2 weeks ago on Christmas was asking me on the phone to forgive him for him hurting me - but that’s not a proper apology because he admits nothing!!! Forgive what exactly? 🤔
Linette Sue Crall So sorry to hear you had to go through all of that. It’s so true-sometimes only the two people actually living in that relationship know the truth. I’m glad you were able to get out. Maybe someday, with a sincere apology and some accountability, you can forgive; but you have every right to say no. Stay strong and take care of yourself.
Codependency is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity.
Real Man Never Hits Woman,, I will say should treat her like a Queen 👑 & she should treat him like a King 👑 Only weak man will show manhood on woman 👩 by hitting her I am a man and don’t prove my manhood by assaulting my wife or my kid or any helpless person I believe in winning Hearts 💕 with Love & Care I am married from last 7 years
It’s upsetting to think that people would rather believe that a lot of contact between a couple means abuse rather than that they loved each other and were best friends. I think it shows more about those people’s character and relationships rather than the accused.
@@shanebarnes9978 I thought the same thing. I call and text my girlfriend all the time, because the little ping notification I get puts a big smile on me. I seriously want to know if they ever found a motive other than vague, generic "jealousy". Because while his story is weird, I'm really just not convinced.
@David Mitnick Except they did. Every single person who actually knew them thought it was fine, even after the murder. It's just low IQ morons that don't understand how life works who think otherwise.
Bret M. THANKYOU! someone else gets it! The world seems filled with negative people who would rather view a great relationship as ‘too perfect’ or ‘possessive’ rather than seeing it for what it is evidenced to be. The case against this man was the fact that they were inseparable and ‘too perfect’ and they couldn’t recreate the accident that they never saw happen! That, to me is a very flimsy case! I’m not saying he’s innocent but i couldn’t say he was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
It’s not necessarily the sons ways. Like I tried to hide as much of the abuse from my kids as possible but they too had to walk on eggshells so I hope his “son” is nothing like him if he did do it.
Finding the truck with the pipes is what he wanted to solve.....duh. that would be what they would need to find to exonerate him....of course they never did
@@johnnyflannigan136 don't think that would exonerate him as even if they found a truck carrying pipes the evidence still supports her being beaten and strangled and not killed by a flying pipe.
@@OAlem An accident isn't an accident just because someone says it's an accident. It needs to be investigated and determined beyond a reasonable doubt that it is an accident. And so, it does indeed need to be "solved".
@@Liliquan I wasn't talking about crime scene forensics but *his* choice of vocabulary. Do you think he's trying to "solve this accident"? Obviously, I'm looking at it from the perspective of the suspect, not the investigators. I'm quite sure that Todd Kendhammer was *not* thinking "It needs to be investigated and determined beyond a reasonable doubt blah blah blah..." No. He never said that, and I bet money he never thought that. According to him, he already knows it was just an accident. Does he not? Would you honestly use the word "solve" if you were him? Are you saying his argument is that it may *not* be an accident? The pipe falling off the truck might have been on purpose and that it strategically targeted only her??? Was this a laser-guided pipe? I never got that impression. In conclusion, NO, you do not "solve" accidents. You investigate the causes. The accident is the effect, not the cause. I did a quick Google search and no accident has ever been "solved", No. A mystery that causes the accident, yes. You might want to review your definition of the verb "to solve".
O Alem If you’d paid attention then you would know what is being solved is whether or not the case can be considered an accident, not the accident itself especially given that it may not even exist. If you were actually looking from the perspective of the suspect, then you would know that he already knows that the police don’t believe his story and are currently investigating to see what was going on. And so, being a part of that investigation, he wants to help them solve it to the point at which they all agree that it was an accident. But I doubt you’d understand that given your inability to understand my original comment.
7:24 *WHEN WILL PPL LEARN????* The detectives are not your friends, buddy's or pals, ask for a lawyer immediately just to be safe(no matter if your innocent or guilty).
If you have to ask," Do i need a lawyer?",...YOU NEED A LAWYER. I do believe he killed her and got jammed up when that car passed and had to come up with some story on the fly.
I absolutely love the fact that the prosecution said she may have felt trapped in that false happiness. How lonely that must have been. How very lonely.
When he addresses the court at his sentencing and thanks his family and friends for their support, yet says nothing about the wife he had to be constant contact with. Hella guilty 💀😷
I agree with the comment before me. Why the hell would he thank her? She's dead. Would he thank her for being dead? He thanked the people there because they backed him up. Don't mistake this for me saying he's for sure innocent or anything, all I am saying is that it would have been even weirder for him to add his wife in a thank you speech. He likely talked about her extensively before this.
I would STILL be profusely proclaiming my innocence & that I would never, or could never, harm my wife!!!! That’s ALL I could possibly EVER say if I was innocent.
To be fair the prosecution does this shit all of the time. Prosecution: "Investigators did not recover any blood on the pipe." Defense: "Did they ever check for any blood on the pipe?" Prosecution witness: "I never witnessed, but was told that..." Reporter: "There was no blood on the pipe" Me: "I mean one side of that pipe did seem a bit more... rusted and grimey than the other.. so Idk"
@@DaveSCameron if you are impaled, if something goes through you... its impossible not to have blood on it. That aside though, he was absolutely covered in blood... but not the pipe that he pulled out of her... right.
My family never would’ve known I was in an abusive relationship had they not eavesdropped on my conversations with him. While it was violating yo know they could hear me, I’m so thankful they were able to know so they didn’t continue supporting our relationship. Just like the prosecutor said, after a certain time you feel pressured to say your relationship is perfect. Rest easy, Barbara ♥️
@@Justcarlosdiaz no its based on personal experiences. Many abusive people only show their real face in private. In fact it happens sooo often that thier is statistical data on it. So yes it is not evidence of abuse directly however its it evidence of symptoms that are seen in nearly evey abusive relationship. I actually think you're the one projecting here not the commenter. You LIKELY display these symptoms towards your intimate partners and you don't like hearing that it is symptoms of abuse.
@@donnabeasley152 wow, you cannot be serious!

@@roulettegenie4379I actually think some people say it just in attempts to normalize things like that… it’s the internet after all, I don’t know why they feel that need, but it’s terrible, people who spends their time posting nonsense like that should have some introspection and do some soul searching. Just think how clear this is in this case, my guess is to them , DV should be a normal little crime, nothing major. Wonder how they are toxic to people around them.
I'm so glad in that someone took the stand in Barbara's defense-her cousin said everything I felt and even the judge agreed with her and the prosecution speech was excellent about Barbara- RIP BARBARA
It's odd that he would be so good at hiding an abusive relationship to the point that there seems to be no motive......yet so bad at faking an accident.
Pooby1000 thats what I was thinking, but then abuse doesnt have to be in your face, it can be very, very subtle, but it is surprising if the ones who are capable of that would be so stupid when it comes to staging an accident
It's often hidden. There is too much shame so the victim often does the covering up more. I always have to eyeroll when "There was no evidence of domestic violence, no history of police being called. Seemed like a normal couple"
@@Justcarlosdiaz He covered for his stepson. She was dead when they left house or she'd have made him go towards her job, his hands would have been bruised and swollen, plus he seems more like someone who'd "take the fall" for his child than hit his wife.
crazy that this one is on here! I worked with him at a grocery store while he was out on bail. His son also worked there. Everyone basically thought he did it.
Yeah he's full of shit, esp cos the windshield event. The other day I was driving and >𝐁𝐀𝐌< outta no where something hit my windshield and sprayed glass all over me. It was in my hair, on my face, covering my arms and chest, in my cleavage, down my back, and hella in between my legs. The windshield wasn't even fully penetrated. It was shattered but no major holes and there was glass 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 in the car as far as the backseat. That shit was all over me, so yeah...
@@priceandpride what?? A lot of people have such small rituals of contacting their closest families. Especially when your parents get into their 70-ties and can't do many things by themselves already

My ex was really good at appearing like a "nice guy" to everyone in public while tormenting me in private. It's scary how people can see someone's marriage as "a perfect one" but have NO IDEA what's actually going on behind closed doors. Poor Barbara.
Don't blame them. They only testified to what they knew & believed according to the show both of them put out! Even her best friend, who was supposed to have been her confidante, testified same.
@@Natalie-gb8tt Yeah. That's covert narcissism for you. They were 'character witnesses' & can only testify to what they know even when the evidence presented speaks contrary. The person that was revealed to them was different to the one familiar to the victim. Also, there have been cases where the "victim" set up false evidences, as part of their vendetta to ruin the other person, so we should appreciate that these witnesses were unbiased in their reports despite their relationship with the victim. I hope Barbara understands that this is just how the cookie crumbles & doesn't take it personally!
Todd's 911 call reminds me of Dan, the high talker, from Seinfeld. This case reminds me of Michael Paterson - aka the Staircase murder. it IS interesting that family, friends, children all stand by him, but that just leads me to believe that this was NOT in Todd's nature, not pre-meditated, something extra-ordinary happened, ie 'a crime of passion', and that he deeply regrets it and would gladly take it back, but that ultimately he snapped and in a panic, had to follow through and tried to cover it up. but if this dude did plan this, what a moron.
Same thoughts here. So many loved ones supported MP throughout that case, but he always seemed suspicious to me. From experience, I know first hand that someone can act one one in front of everyone, but very differently in front of a partner. My ex was viewed as a local hero while I knew differently. It's definitely possible. That doesn't mean either one of these guys are guilty, but the evidence doesn't add up to anything but foul play.
Agree with the staircase comparison 100%, in that case we saw information had been uncovered by MPs wife and it likely ended in a crime of passion. Also using common sense looking at both this case and MP’s it just doesn’t add up how these woman could die in an accident.
Why is it that guilty people never ask for a lawyer? Ever. They always assume lawyering up is admitting guilt, when in reality, you committed a sloppy crime and a lawyer is your only hope.
It's the classic narcissist's blind spot - they have a misplaced confidence that they are _so_ much smarter than everyone else & can manipulate any situation.... for them, it's not possible that they made a mistake. Leaving their defence in anyone else's hands is also admitting to themselves that they _aren't_ the smartest person in the room, so their need to feel superior to everyone else overrides their common sense... logical things like getting a lawyer! There's many victims & prosecutors & cops who are very thankful for that blind spot because they'll sink themselves every time! ⚖
“I want to solve this as well as you do” 8:05. If it was a freak accident what is there to solve? Something I wonder if they picked up on him saying during that interrogation/interview.
I thought the same thing. If your wife was killed in a freak accident I don’t care who you are, every vivid detail would be easily explained over and over again. The cuts on the knuckles this guy clearly beat the ever living crap out of her. As far as the pipe going through the windshield, that might be believable if both vehicles were in an interstate traveling at high rates of speeds. But traveling in a 2-lane back road I don’t think so. Any commercial vehicle would not be going that fast. The driver would risk getting pulled over and possibly losing both their job and license. Glad he was convicted.
I'm not saying he's innocent bc I don't know one way or the other. Shaking one's leg could be perceived in many different ways. I'd be nervous as hell too if I was being questioned whether I was guilty or not.
Applause to the Prosecution lawyer for not letting ego affect his questioning, steady flow of fair questions with out trying to dunk on or make a spectacle

@@alikat5590 Its not that he probably didn't do it... Its that the prosecution literally fails to establish the why and how he killed her beyond a reasonable doubt. Did he kill her? Probably... but a rage filled abusive man wasn't the way it was done. The way they put it is not beyond a reasonable doubt. While he was guilty, the prosecution is lucky for a jury that didn't care about reasonable doubt, and went off the fact that he probably did it. Unfortunately thats not the way the law is supposed to work though. They need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he murdered her. And I don't think the prosecution did that in this case. It's not that hes innocent, its that hes not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Thank Goodness that the jury had insight and made their decision based on what evidence they were provided - I could never sleep or look in the mirror at myself if I was on a jury and didn’t convict a guilty person! I heard a famous prosecutor in Texas say during a case - beyond any reason of any doubt - this person would still be alive void knowing this person - in this case - no truck and too much evidence or lack of evidence to back up a freak pole through the window “accident” from some mystery truck ! Motive - does instant anger & non planned rage need a motive ? No one knows what exactly 2 people can instantly argue about in a car !!! 🗣🔥🔥🔥💣 and on a waning dark solar & lunar eclipse on September 15 2016@ 730-8am - especially no!! Sudden anger - sudden rage ... 🤔 === My boyfriend of 3 years now - he survived a car wreck on August 5 2005! He decided to break-up with his girlfriend of 7 yrs in her car on that day! They were screaming at each other in the car! He got out of car & walked & she picked him back up (in doing so - she took handful of prescription pills while he was walking off his anger) per her stomach content after her death that day! -He got back in car @3pm! August 5 2005! She proceeded to immediately drive her car with him in it suddenly into a power pole & wall! Over a break-up fight and him admitting dating another girl ! Truth truth truth Did she set out to die that morning and run her car into a pole & wall ? Did he set out to break-up with her that morning ? - no according to him they got into a huge argument at the dmv at 2pm that lead to her immediate death and him with stitches in his head with EMT & police saying it was a miracle he was alive & yes the ‘jaws of life’ had to be used to get him out of her wrecked car after hitting a pole & wall suddenly! - The police said that he should have died too! She died Instantly at 23 yrs old! He was “not charged with any crime” and that’s due to her stomach content of too many prescription pills in her system that day He could have “easily grabbed the steering wheel” of her car that day & caused the wreck too - it’s his word against his dead girlfriend!!! - who knows what really happened in her car that day ??? Honestly who knows? but only him! Same as this case - yet a witness testified seeing the car pulled over with no broken windshield in this case -right? See the bigger picture My boyfriend’s experience: What was her /his girlfriends motive proven motive of suddenly hitting a pole and wall on purpose? Her last words according to him was “if I cannot have you then no one can” & she then drove into a power pole & flipped car into a wall - I’ve been to The crash site and saw for myself - was on a busy street at 3pm in the afternoon! Was not premeditated & no planned motive - yet she tried to kill him and herself (Prior to that day - she suddenly held a loaded shot gun to his head during a jealousy argument one night!) Does sudden rage & anger need a motive for murder ??? === The USA law system allows murders and child molesters & rapists go FREE to commit more crime >>> due to “lack of evidence and lack of motives” & lack of reasonable doubt !!! Sick & disgusting unfair system 🤢🤮🤮🤮 /// I’m allowed to have my own opinion just like everyone else
Yeah, he's guilty. Honestly, when I saw the intro to this video, I thought there would be something more compelling to suggest he was innocent than "he's friends and family had nice things to say about him". My dad was psychologically abusive to my immediate family (myself, my mother and sister) yet to outsiders (extended family, family friends, neighbours etc...) he was the nicest guy ever because he knew how to manipulate and charm people.
I get severe anxiety attacks sometimes that causes mine to do that and theres nothing i can do to control it i think either way he would of been anxious about what just happened so might not mean his guilty but the lack of glass on the body and no blood on pipe definitely raise some questions as to the legitimacy of his story.
@@Borntoberiled yes! She was so beautiful & seemed like the kinda lunch lady tht kids would actually really enjoy being around (again idk for sure just speculating)
IF SHE HAD A BOSS WHO CALLED AFTER 2 SECONDS WHO WAS WORRIED WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL THE BOSS??? IT SOUNDS LIKE HE WOULD HAVE HIDDEN HER DEFENDED HER HELPED HER I DONT BELIEVE HE DID IT!!!

and how weird is it that this guy is supposedly on his way to fix someones windshield...and then his wife dies supposedly via a pole through his own windshield? strange indeed.
ice la honk ever see the story of a woman who was out drinking with friends hit a homeless man and he became lodged in her windshield. But instead of calling the cops and ambulance she drove home and parked the car with him in the windshield in her garage. It took days for him to die. Even with basic first aid he would have lived. But no, and her and her friends got high and drunk and laughed about it. Kicker is dude would have l lived and he had mental problems and was high himself so if she stopped she probably would have gotten a suspended license and probation instead of what she ended up with, a man would still be alive.
I watched that entire case and he’s such a yuck. He was obsessive with her. 9 chances out of 10, a marriage can LOOK so great to outsiders, but on the inside be horrible. I know that myself. He killed his wife. I noticed that he didn’t say how much he loved his wife, or missed her, in his statement to the court. All about him.
it's very similar in context to the Watts case. People thought he was just the ideal guy, such a loving father, such a caring husband. People are so naïve, it amazes me all the time. She probably had a heart to heart with him, and who knows the boss had probably fell in love with her, and his controlling a$$ went nuts, look at his knuckles, something she said pissed him off and he raged on her. Sad, always red flags.
@@unite4peace88 that seems a bit uh… stupid to assume. There’s no evidence that her boss had any kind of romantic feelings or that she felt similarly towards them. Also the stuff about him being controlling is basically just speculation.
@@coldplaysgames6695 Seems I struck a nerve, just speculating of course, Narcissists will reveal their true nature eventually, even in online comments. 😆
Honestly, the friends and families testimony that their relationship was "perfect" and they never fought or even complained about eachother is just as suspicious, to me, as if he HAD abused her. Anyone who's ever been in a relationship for that long will tell you, theres something wrong with that picture.
Todd is the first 911 call I've heard that actually wants an answer to when EMT are arriving, as if he wanted longer rather than them to hurry. Just a feeling, imo asking "When" three times was a curiosity; "another red flag".
People who are dark in private, often overcompensate with charity and charm in public. How many times have we heard testimonies of friends and even family of people who've done horrible things, saying "He wouldn't hurt a fly" and "He was always a gentleman". They're shocked that someone they were so close to could do such a thing.
The idea that the pipe couldn't have bounced through the windshield is naïve. Ive seen so many bizarre things on the road in my lifetime, things I would struggle to believe had I not seen them with my own eyes, including things bouncing off of the road and into my windshield. Dashcams capture all sorts of freakish things that cause accidents. That being said, all of her bizarre injuries, his bizarre injuries, the location of blood, the strange story circumstances and all that other stuff is what makes this suspicious. The fact that there was no blood on the pipe and the fact that he didn't call 911 IMMEDIATELY is what reeks, but the idea that they couldn't get the pipe to bounce just right is meaningless. Once you've seen a washing machine come off of a truckbed, hit the road, roll and launch 15 feet into the air and get stuck in a tree, you'll become a believer in any story about road debris.
You kind of missed the interesting part in the Dash cam footage where they paramedics turn up and tell him she is still alive and breathing. ANd he starts asking if he can go in the ambulance with her, but the Police are already a bit concerned about his behaviour and so make a point to keep him separate from his unfortunate Wife.
Oh yea and my best friend had a relationship like that. Everyone around her thought he was the best guy ever and if she complained even of how he was treating her in general they would try to blame her... what they didn’t know is that he raped her on her wedding day so badly she was injured and had to see a doctor.. and then continued to try to abuse her and manipulate her, and she was in another country cut off from relatives or friends who would understand... and he continued to play good guy even after she got out.. but, sadly in the end,, admitted what he had done to her... admitted rape. Absolutely people can hide what they are from everyone around them and are a different person at home.... and usually it’s something they would be very ashamed of and never want anyone to know..(ps no one knows who am talking of so the information and experience is relevant. I am not breaching her confidentiality. Just as a side note. She wouldn’t mind me using this as an example)
it kills me that people dont immediately say "Lawyer." whenever they get into an interview room like that. Guilty, innocent, it does not matter. Never allow yourself to be interviewed by police alone.
@@jareknowak8712 you seem naive. i hope for your sake you never get in trouble. you seem like the naive person who would blab away and sink your own ship
They probably had a really controlling relationship, where he'd be on her all the time because he "loved" her so much, and that day or the day before she just expressed some kind of desire to not be in it anymore and he raged at the thought of losing her. I could see that being the motive, it's just sad.
@@joanamonteiiro sure people are allowed to have their own opinion. But that's not HER opinion. She watched one video about the case. One video that is so slanted and biased that it shows ONLY the evidence that seems sketchy. None of the exculpatory evidence, none of his witnesses, nothing. Just: "oh, the cops and this guy on UA-cam think he is guilty. Now I think he is guilty, too." That's not her opinion, it's the UA-cam guy that made this video's opinion. She is blindly parroting his opinion.

Why wasn't the "Pipe not having blood on it showed in the interrogation or trial?" That's evidence that the accident didn't happen.
Nor the windshield
If her family does not side with her even in her death, with all the forensic evidence proving the husband to be the killer, i doný think they would have supported her if she ever complainted about her marriage.
Maybe that's why she shut up.

When I told my mother my husband was a violent bully, she fell about laughing. She thought he was perfect and that I was “lucky to get him”. When we divorced, my family took his side. He was very charming - outside the home. No-one knows what is going on in someone else’s marriage; there may have been trouble in paradise long before Todd killed his wife.
Very sad to hear you went through that. Thank god you got out. I hope your life is peaceful now & youre healing💕

I'll never understand that. I abhor violence. I find it highly degenerative and toxic to the goals of our social evolution.
However.....
If my daughter even hinted that her SO was violent or intimidating, my wife would need to bail me out of jail later that same day. I don't even see how it could be possible to take something like that lightly or not look into it.
I was married to an abusive bully for 37 years.I know what you mean.I believe you and I wish you happiness for the rest of your life.
@K Gray You"never heard" of compassion and understanding?
Abusers work extremely hard on their image outside the home. They overcompensate, and it's no surprise that the family defended him and called their marriage perfect.
Honestly. The fact that they called it "perfect" was a red flag to me. No relationship is perfect. Clearly there was a lot people werent seeing.
So true!
Yeah it’s scaring me idk after seeing all the evidence idc how good I saw their relationship I would immediately see him as a psycho and look for the red flags...
99.9% of them are sociopaths
This guy was an abusive husband and his wife kept it a secret. She paid with her life.
Poor Barbara. I'm so glad the jury never fell for the "good guy" façade. The public gave her some justice while her family couldn't.
I bet her mother felt like shit after defending that monster... SMH... DAMN...
Her family anger me
My mom got out of a marriage like this. No one could believe that my dad could do anything wrong. But o was a witness - and behind closed doors he was so cruel to both my mom and us kids. She had to surprise leave. I’m glad she was smart enough not to warn him. I think some of these women seal their own fate when they reveal their plans and her husband snaps. Maybe that’s what happened in this case. He couldn’t bear the thought of having his/their perfect image tarnished.
Sunny BlueSkies Same.I would never have been allowed to leave .
Pathetic family
In my 20’s I had a boyfriend that everyone loved. He won over my own family. One day when we both thought no one was home, my boyfriend hit me so hard that he knocked me to my knees. My mother heard the entire thing from upstairs and all she said was she thought it was time for him to go home. The next weekend we both joined my family on a day trip to a brunch at a Oregon resort restaurant. My parents thought this man loved me and I should be grateful that.I had someone who was always following me and keeping up with my every movement. Devotion it was called. Did he love me? No , he wanted to keep me under control. When the next beating happened , a few weeks later, I decided I’d had enough “love and devotion “. Although you couldn’t really call it a break up , until I left the state to pursue my own dreams, I was ridiculed by our mutual “friends” and by some of my “family “ because I’d “never find someone who’d love me like this man loved me “. This was right before cell phones and text messages but I was still under his thumb.
My point is that I can see how Barb was hounded by her husband and still after her murder , nearly every one else didn’t think Todd could have been guilty. This type of men are master manipulators. Barb could have kept quiet for the same reason I did, her husband was better at pulling the wool over people’s eyes than she was in telling the truth. My heart broke when my family ignored the signs in favor of my boyfriend, I can only imagine that Barb knew she wouldn’t be believed and probably decided that for the sake of family ( her children and grand child mostly) she’d endure hell on earth before opening her heart up one more time to people who just wouldn’t listen. Rest In Peace Barb.
May all women find. God protection in the hands of all god s k protectors.
So sorry you had to deal with this. Hugs
Thank you for sharing your story. All my respect for you for getting out of that toxic relationship before it was too late, like in this woman's case, marriage and children certainly do not make that step easy. I pray more women manage to escape from abusive relationships just like you did.

He was a control freak. I was married to one many years ago. Nobody would believe me if I told them what he was really like because these people are charming. You don't even bother trying. But if you decide to leave the marriage, they go totally crazy. He was thankfully sent to prison. Nice one.
Could very well be. He certainly should have had other things going on in his life, even if he didn't commit the crime. Nobody deserves death for not-being a good match with you, and no relationship is worth losing your freedom over.
Tell us, we're listening...
Did they look at cell phone records to see if she was having an affair? If she was planning to leave, would she have spoken with anyone about that before telling her husband? Did she ever tell anyone she felt trapped and smothered? Maybe she enjoyed having him dote on her that way?
@@cretelizard71
My thoughts exactly ! Either an affair or she just wanted out - a divorce that he would never, ever have accepted, hence the killing. Possibly even premeditated, considering the suspicious journey.
Yeah - hear you - I had one too (nowhere near as bad as Mr Kendhammer or yours- but mine invented road rage (yes we are THAT old - we just called it weird behaviour then) and was developing into a prize control freak - when I told him I was leaving he threatened suicide - I told him "Be my guest" - he knew I was not joking - he's still alive 35 years later.

It's kind of your fault for letting that get as bad. A _smart_ person would have immediately left and realized that someone like that couldn't actually do a fucking thing. But let me guess, you let your worthless fucking emotions control what you did, right? Typical.
I know how you feel. Please don´t let somebody shame you for staying so long. There are some horrible trolls out here who love to victim blame and tell uns abused, that we are stupid for putting up with our abusers. I know its hard to understand, that somebody can manipulate your view and tell you over and over again, that you are weak, nobody likes you and you cant survive on your own.... I always pushed back (we have a child together otherwise I would have left him earlier) and he hated that I didn´t like to take shit from him. It ended when he finally snapped and assaulted me- that was the final straw. He is in psychic care now and I live humble but happy with our child.
@@SeanTheOriginal *smart* people know that domestic violence is complicated.
The abuser outed themself in this comment section 😂
If you have an abusing spouse, it never gets more dangerous, than when you try to leave. Telling them that you're your own person, and not theirs to control, is often a death sentence
That's exactly the conclusion I came up with. She might have just threatened to leave because he was being abusive and he snapped. She's his property and he wouldn't stand for that! There is no doubt whatsoever he did it. Zero! Zip! Zilch!
That last part... "When you put pressure on people to have a perfect marriage, it makes it harder to give them bad news..." honestly, stand by your children. Period. Believe them. This is unbelievable in the amount of evidence presented. Barbara deserves better.

@@LifesPeachy321 i guess he said it impaled ? And remove it from the head and did CPR . That was an obvious lie if there is no blood. But if he said the pipe came through the windshield and hit her on the head , that would explain the injury to the back of her head , coz if she saw the pipe coming through and she went to a braced position, there is a possibility to hit it on the back of the head. Investigators would have found the source of the pipe, may be it matches something in the house or near by construction site , blood in the garage ? to place him in another location at the time of the murder.
@@yasoozie Don't forget his claim that it fell from an ONCOMING truck. Even if it rolled off the side of a truck, it could not possibly go straight through the passenger side of the windshield. It could hit their car, sure, even hit the windshield, but it would likely roll or bounce off.
@@TehKitteh01 Didn't they prove that there was no way the pipe could have bounced that high to come through the windshield?

You have to be one outstandingly punctual individual for your boss to call to check on you TWO MINUTES after your shift starts
Honestly, I think every boss is like that. If you’re not at your shift 30min before (sometimes) it’s very questionable and sometimes it’s not even about being worried, sometimes they might be irritated bc you’re late for work.
@@5x1STONE lol @ showing up 30 min before work. Nobody does that.
@@spaghetti9845 lmao I know but where I used to work we open at 9am and have to be at work by 8:30 but I showed up at 9 anyways 😂😂
Maybe she was in the habit of arriving a few minutes early. I used to get to my work ten minutes early because of the bus schedule. I had no choice. Her husband may have normally dropped her off early, so when she wasn't there the boss may have figured something was wrong.
Maybe he knew something was happening?

"The defense would like to direct the jury's attention to the documentary film Final Destination 2..."
During that movie's production they tried and tried, but no matter what, they couldn't get a real log to bounce that way. So they HAD to use CGI make the logs act they way they did.

In this day and age, with all the tech we have, can we finally get some decent audio equipment for interrogation rooms?!
The recording is for them and if it sounds good for their needs why would they change it?
Miranda Brooks (I’m a former police officer) The recording isn’t for the police, it’s for the jury. The detectives can understand it because they have context, but a jury doesn’t. A defense attorney can get a transcript thrown out easily. We had a few defense attorneys challenge our taped interrogations because of poor audio quality. My original comment was coming from a place of frustration with my own departments audio equipment as much as it was this departments. I should have been more clear 👍🏻
2nd that .
No, American police need to continue to fill their pockets with tax payers money... no money left to waste on stupid cameras/ hygienic, humane prison environments
I believe its a camera recording off a tv. Looks that way on the full interview, You see the adjusting the camera at the start.
Poor Barbara. Even after a brutal death at the hands of her “ great guy” husband, NO ONE from her family stands up for her. I stand with you Barbara. I can see the needy desperation of the man & how suffocating the attention he demanded from you must have been.
Pfffff...this is the most sensitive, intelligent comment I have EVER seen, thank you, Billie!
You’re forgetting one thing Billy. If they are asked questions about their relationship on the stand. They are obligated to tell the truth as to how they viewed their relationship before she died when asked in a court of law.
@@ashleydunstan5393 they have all stated they stand with Todd. her first cousin said that there were seats available for anyone who wanted to sit on Barbara's side but no one was there. his lawyer used her family still supporting him as an excuse to let him out of prison early
I'm related to them and it is sad
It’s heartbreaking. I’m watching the 48 Hours episode on this case and there is no sadness that Barbara lost her life. Even if the BS story was true, that’s still a horrific way to go and should be mourned.

Totally agreed!
Same here. I love seeing a new episode from that chapter
He absolutely did it. He basically dissolved in fear when confronted with the evidence from the male detectives. Men that commit domestic abuse are usually cowards that shit themselves when someone bigger or more powerful confronts them. His leg was bouncing like crazy, he was close to hyperventilate from fear in that interview trying to explain the impossible.
Or his surprise and stress levels went through the roof - just lost his wife and now accused of the unimaginable. It is fairly easy to watch and say "oh look at him", without taking into consideration the devastating trauma that occurred and now being accused...Put yourself in those shoes - it would be traumatic, it would be devastating to be accused like that - I think under it all, he did well, most confess - who are guilty-
@@4everfaithful32
No, most don’t confess. You obviously haven’t watched enough of Mike’s videos.
@@barbaraseymour3437 LOL You assume it is "I" but if "YOU" watch JCS, Blue Dot and others YOU will see I am right. :-)
I know too many guys that are brutally tough with men AND abusive towards women. I wish you were right but you're wrong
The evidence that Todd murdered his wife is obvious. There is no evidence that his version of the story is true. I think I saw this on Dave's Lemonade too. Or it could have been Enigma. I'm not sure.
"Their relationship was perfect."
Ahem. How many freaking times have you been shocked to discover that the relationship you thought was "perfect", was not so?
Exactly, from what I have seen with all these relationships the ones that look slightly imperfect are the most stable and loving.
That Weirdo yes, the most picture perfect Instagram relationships are often the most troubled.
Makes me suspect a cult.
Yeah...NO relationship is "perfect." When I hear people portray relationships as perfect, it's an instant red flag to me...
Perfect relationships don't exist. They always need care. If you never saw anything negative, it just means you weren't looking. But just because relationships get rough doesn't mean they're bad. Some folks think it's all one way or the other, which is insane to think that these people also date.
His voice is so high pitched it blares the mic in the interrogation
Lol reminded me of High Pitch Eric from Howard Stern..
@unionjackess lol right. Tweaked his voice 2 octaves.
The 911 call was the same way. He sounded very feminine on the recording.
Nobody has a "perfect marriage." She NEVER complained about her husband to her friends? They NEVER had a difficult time? That's impossible. Sounds too good to be true. And I agree with comments below about his lying abilities...not so great.
I thought the same. It was even stranger that the family was so quick to defend him, then again, from my experience at least, family will tend to believe anything when that person appears as a fine, 'upstanding' citizen on the surface - someone they 'trust'. Doubt they would've supported her regardless. I personally think he went into a blind rage only to have the severity of what he did and the consequences behind it hit him later. He seemed rather disoriented as well as scared/panicked. A weird case indeed. I can't begin to imagine what those 25 years must've held for her.
Exactly.
Every relationship has a a few ups and downs.
They appeared to have none.
Red flag!!
People who are literally with their significant other all the time, drop them off controlling their access to transportation, never hang out with friends without the other person there, call multiple times during the work day etc: that is a classic codependent toxic relationship that is probably emotionally manipulative. When one person makes a move to assert their individuality the other will explosively react.
NEVER
Hannah Bush seems like his family are full of shit as well
I was having dinner one evening with friends who seemed to have a perfect family. I rathered be at there house than mine.
When the daughter made a joke about getting in an interracial relationship the father flew in a violent rant, throwing his salad and food at her and the mother for trying to calm him. He then asked me to leave. This came out of nowhere and still shocks me. I had known them and been over for years and never saw that in him. It could be anything with some people.
Wow 😳 that must have been terrifying to witness! Is your friend okay?
I would have had a hard time not saying "all right, as long as they come with me, because if that's what you do in front of company I don't want to know what happens in private."
Even if the relatives were right, if their relationship was absolutely perfect without psychological pressure or anything, that doesn't mean he didn't snap suddenly for unexplained reasons.
The evidence is so obvious, the pipe without blood, the strangulation marks, the back of the skull broken, bruises on the biceps, broken glass where there shouldn't be and no broken glass where there should be, scratch marks on the husband and broken nails on the victim, no truck corresponding to the description, witness saying he saw the car already there without anyone inside and an intact windshield, lies from the husband about pretty much all their schedule.. I mean if that's not enough, then we should just all wait for murderers to gently confess. The family is delusional
Emotionally charged decisions/perspectives tend to trump even blatantly obvious facts in most people...
All I'm saying is I've seen scratches like that before, and it's most certainly from fingernails, not to mention, damage to knuckles like that is clearly from punching or hitting something. That wasn't car accident damage.
They sure were
Reminds me of Democrats delusional thinking.
@@morganmcgarthur9621 Relevance?
She wanted to leave him and either told him the previous night or before she left for work. He snapped.
MHKeenani I agree.
You literally have zero evidence of that. Her best friend, mother, or someone close in her life would of known if that were the case, and she never even got close to saying that. That’s not something you up and decide out of nowhere without telling your best friend.
Doubt it. Probably caught him doing something super shady.
B Apparently not cause it seems like they never suspected a thing or it was all set aside as nothing really.
Wife probably suffered in silence from abuse and I wouldn’t be surprised if the family didn’t believe her if she tried telling them.
I think she caught him wearing her clothes, his deer buddies wouldn't like that 😂 no idea just a thought he sounds like a woman on the 911 call and he is different 😂
It's kinda rare but insane how sometimes the victims' family defends the murderer or serial killer.
"I never saw any signs of abuse.." good for you.
Ikr???👀👀😡
I get that abusers don’t go around announcing to the world that they’re beating the shit out of their wife, but it doesn’t look as if barb had anyone in her life who cared about her enough to notice the signs of an abusive relationship,
If they don’t have a good relationship to know intimate details then why would they be against him?
@@cactusmalone ..no it's really not the same thing as defending a murderer, bud lol But I can see you're a sensitive butt-hurt whiner..jumping to defending those who defend murderers -_-
If your brother was found to be a serial killer, would you defend them and talk about how nice to you they always were? And defend them for being a 'good' person and choosing to believe they are innocent even after they confess and are proven guilty? Probably not.
Yeah and you live in the bedroom... those people were married too, why so stupid?
I went to West Salem Middle School in 2016, where Barbara worked. I remember the day everyone found out she had died. It was extremely hard to see the faculty try to continue working without her there. For atleast the next few years they kept little paper hearts next to her staff name plate on the kitchen door. What a horrific case.
While his supporters may have good intentions, they are unwilling to see beyond the phony facade of Todd and Barbara's relationship. No one has a perfect relationship... period.
James S, so true. Unfortunately, many people who grow up with domestic violence see it as completely normal. So, to Todd and Barbara’s friends and family, him hurting her was a sign of love. Growing up in the rural MidWest, I knew a lot of families like that. It’s really sad.
@@Steampunkkids maybe there was no signs of violence, barb never said anything and when together they looked fine. Its a slippery slop to start making up stories in court to paint the accused in a bad light because it fits what you believe may have happened.
yeah nah abuse goes deeper than being violent. Emotional, verbal, financial and mental abuse are just as valid as physical abuse. A lot of times people don’t realize that they’re being emotionally/mentally abused until they leave that relationship and get into a relationship and things change.
It can go either way in a relationship, either partner can be controlling. Just a reminder.
I found it poignant the defense lawyer asked the witnesses if they "saw" bruises or injuries. Any abuser knows that you mark the body where it can easily be covered.
Furthermore, it was more common for past generations to accept controlling, jealous, emotionally and verbally abusive relationships as normal.
What is strange in their testimony is they said the couple was always happy and never complained. No relationship is ever that good; everyone argues.
These officers did an excellent job interviewing this man. They lead him to the water, let him drink and then used the information he gave them to let him know he was screwed, by his own words.
They were playing with a STACKED Deck. The Forensics were pointing towards her beating beaten and they knew coming in he would say it was the pole. But they also knew he absolutely did not understand Forensics and they knew they had the Forensics Information and he did not. He was nervous as hell because he knew what he did was extremely risky and would hope the police wouldnt investigate?or be too dumb to realize?? He knew he was basically caught right away. He should have shut up to be honest and got a lawyer right away.
@@andrewchapman5659 if he knew he'd done it why not get lawyered up immediately. I'm not convinced

How many perfect relationships have we seen on this channel.
They were so perfect that everyone died. Well, sometimes. But at least one person went to the big ol pie in the sky
Lots!
lmao fr
all marriages end eventually ✌️
Perfection in anything is a delusion.
1. How could anyone stick that voice for 25 years?
2. There have been so many ridiculous stories of the husband of an obviously attacked woman saying, oh, sure, she killed herself, and the police saying, fair enough mate, sure why would we autopsy and investigate that. I'm not surprised he thought this ridiculous story would be believed
His voice sounds like he has abused hard drugs...
That's what I thought. The man's voice is so irritating, high pitched and sounds like a weird cartoon character. Aside from that though, I also believe, having just seen the 48 Hours episode about this case, that he's guilty as hell of his wife's murder and the so-called 'experts' who seemed to believe he may have suffered traumatic memory loss (as a reason for why he gave so many lies to detectives questioning him about why he didn't drive Barbara to work that morning but, instead, drove in entirely the opposite direction) couldn't give conclusive proof one way or the other as to why he gave differing accounts of what (he claimed) happened, as to how Barbara's injuries were sustained, etc. All of the so-called expert evidence seemed to be mainly speculative, not necessarily fact in this case. I believe that, far from having a supposedly blissfully happy marriage, the Kendhammers had problems, as do many couples, and that Barbara may have wanted out of the marriage. Todd, I'm sure, knew that she may have been able to move on, and find someone better for her, than he ever would and that he would not allow her to leave the marriage. I also believe that his son & daughter are deluded in thinking that their parents' marriage was wonderful and that their father could never have harmed their mother. They're adults and they need to face reality instead of having their head in the clouds and wasting time trying to get a guilty man freed from prison. As 'unpalatable' as the truth may be, their father seems to now be exactly where he belongs - behind bars.
"I did not kill her, i didn't kill her, i did nooootttt. Oh, Hi Mike!"
Oh hi Denny 😉
Hi doggy!
You are tearing me apart, Lisa!
Truth tellers usually use contractions, "I didn't kill her" liars usually dont, " I did not kill her". The try to overcompensate, similar to when someone telling a made up story/lie and give too many or weird details trying too hard to make it seem legit.
@@chriswilson1968 freak accidents do happen
Any relationship can look “perfect” from the outside looking in. He seems really possessive of her, and it can be hard to distinguish between that and love and devotion. Only the people behind closed doors know the real truth.

my own experience of my seemingly “perfect Christian marriage” of 11 years!!! 1989-2002:
My religiously church attending husband & bible college student - physically abused me 5xs and verbally abused me constantly- not around other people!
I told NO ONE & could not talk about any of IT for over 15 yrs After my divorce!
I didn’t tell my mother, nor my grandmother, nor my church friends - I told no one !
It’s embarrassing and I have too much ridiculous pride &
church teaches us to pray & forgive & pray & forgive & that God fix’s everything! Constantly taught that - forgive forgive accept and church doesn’t address potential abuse in marriages not any church that I attended then regularly !!!
===
I met a lady 3 yrs ago randomly on a plane ride & somehow she opened up to me about her physically abusive preacher husband that she ran away from after 20+ yrs of marriage & she told me with tears in her eyes that she keep up the fake smile for years & told NO ONE!
She literally ran away from her preacher husband and hid from him!!!
I needed to hear what she had to say !
===
PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE!
They DO NOT KNOW -ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DO NOT LIVE WITH THAT ABUSER CONTROL FREAK with serious self righteous egos ! 24/7
It’s embarrassing to admit and tell even now ! It’s my experience and I’ve learned to have real peace now yet I tell my experience to enlighten people now of truth vs fiction & deceit & lies
Many People are dogmatic and think they know everything about other people with little or no facts !!!
===
If I had to do over now > I would have security cameras hidden in my home
then I would have real proof
then my story would have solid evidence!!! Then people would believe me not crazy !!!
My x husband to this day -20 yrs later - will never admit or apologize properly what he did to me several times - to him “it never happened”
And my reason for leaving him, my home, my things, my young children and didn’t take any of HIS MONEY!
Was because he verbally threatened to “make me disappear” constantly!
He had the power & “his money” over me that forced me to leave with a 5000$ car 12 yr old used car I got to get away from him in 2002
and my clothes
(he drove & still drives a corvette & has his big house!
He tried brainwashing family, friends & my CHILDREN that I just couldn’t take being a mom & wife anymore so I left like a coward! Quote!
The real people hurt severely were my 3 beautiful confused children I left with their father - my abusive seemingly perfect husband
===
Consequences will hit him like a ton of hot coals pouring down over his head one day - because that’s laws of the universe - I know 1 day it will hit him like a frying pan to the face
He’s so fake nice to me now & 2 weeks ago on Christmas was asking me on the phone to forgive him for him hurting me - but that’s not a proper apology because he admits nothing!!!
Forgive what exactly? 🤔
@@Proverbs31_25 Sorry that happened to you, but at least you're an atheist now.
Linette Sue Crall So sorry to hear you had to go through all of that. It’s so true-sometimes only the two people actually living in that relationship know the truth. I’m glad you were able to get out. Maybe someday, with a sincere apology and some accountability, you can forgive; but you have every right to say no. Stay strong and take care of yourself.
Codependency is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity.

Constantly calling and checking on her makes me think he was insanely jealous. Jealousy can make a person do crazy things.
It’s upsetting to think that people would rather believe that a lot of contact between a couple means abuse rather than that they loved each other and were best friends. I think it shows more about those people’s character and relationships rather than the accused.
@@shanebarnes9978 I thought the same thing. I call and text my girlfriend all the time, because the little ping notification I get puts a big smile on me. I seriously want to know if they ever found a motive other than vague, generic "jealousy". Because while his story is weird, I'm really just not convinced.
@David Mitnick Except they did. Every single person who actually knew them thought it was fine, even after the murder. It's just low IQ morons that don't understand how life works who think otherwise.
Bret M. THANKYOU! someone else gets it! The world seems filled with negative people who would rather view a great relationship as ‘too perfect’ or ‘possessive’ rather than seeing it for what it is evidenced to be.
The case against this man was the fact that they were inseparable and ‘too perfect’ and they couldn’t recreate the accident that they never saw happen! That, to me is a very flimsy case! I’m not saying he’s innocent but i couldn’t say he was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
That behavior is very controlling, unless it happens 2b the couple’s usual style of relating [to each other] & they both like it.
When the son said 'the same relationship as me and my wife share' I immediately feared for his wife
I smell RED FLAGS in the making...
Especially with that hair style💀
I do believe that was the son in law
That dude looked off, just like the murderer.
It’s not necessarily the sons ways. Like I tried to hide as much of the abuse from my kids as possible but they too had to walk on eggshells so I hope his “son” is nothing like him if he did do it.
The first thing he says is "I need to solve this" ummm... Remember you said it was a freak accident... What is there to solve?
The person driving the truck??? Seriously
Yeah, and also he said "I'm trying to give you a SCENARIO". The truth is not a scenario.
Statement analysis says he's full of shit
Finding the truck with the pipes is what he wanted to solve.....duh. that would be what they would need to find to exonerate him....of course they never did

Yeah weird, he said he wanted to "solve this as well as you do" but it's not a crime, is it? You don't "solve" accidents.
O Alem Smart - I never noticed that .
@@OAlem An accident isn't an accident just because someone says it's an accident. It needs to be investigated and determined beyond a reasonable doubt that it is an accident. And so, it does indeed need to be "solved".
@@Liliquan I wasn't talking about crime scene forensics but *his* choice of vocabulary. Do you think he's trying to "solve this accident"? Obviously, I'm looking at it from the perspective of the suspect, not the investigators. I'm quite sure that Todd Kendhammer was *not* thinking "It needs to be investigated and determined beyond a reasonable doubt blah blah blah..." No. He never said that, and I bet money he never thought that. According to him, he already knows it was just an accident. Does he not? Would you honestly use the word "solve" if you were him? Are you saying his argument is that it may *not* be an accident? The pipe falling off the truck might have been on purpose and that it strategically targeted only her??? Was this a laser-guided pipe? I never got that impression.
In conclusion, NO, you do not "solve" accidents. You investigate the causes. The accident is the effect, not the cause. I did a quick Google search and no accident has ever been "solved", No. A mystery that causes the accident, yes. You might want to review your definition of the verb "to solve".
O Alem If you’d paid attention then you would know what is being solved is whether or not the case can be considered an accident, not the accident itself especially given that it may not even exist. If you were actually looking from the perspective of the suspect, then you would know that he already knows that the police don’t believe his story and are currently investigating to see what was going on. And so, being a part of that investigation, he wants to help them solve it to the point at which they all agree that it was an accident. But I doubt you’d understand that given your inability to understand my original comment.
7:24 *WHEN WILL PPL LEARN????* The detectives are not your friends, buddy's or pals, ask for a lawyer immediately just to be safe(no matter if your innocent or guilty).
@Alpha F and screw the innocents that are damaged completely in process, gotcha.
Never make a statement other than "I need to speak to my attorney before I will give a statement"
If you have to ask," Do i need a lawyer?",...YOU NEED A LAWYER. I do believe he killed her and got jammed up when that car passed and had to come up with some story on the fly.
I absolutely love the fact that the prosecution said she may have felt trapped in that false happiness. How lonely that must have been. How very lonely.
The defence is that “he’s nice in person and their relationship is good” bro that means nothing lmao loads of criminals keep it to themselves

When he addresses the court at his sentencing and thanks his family and friends for their support, yet says nothing about the wife he had to be constant contact with. Hella guilty 💀😷
HEYHAY1987 my thought
Dont forget he thanked the judge lol. I watched the whole trial.
well...she's dead. what's he gonna thank her for. he's presumably talked at length during the case about how much he loved her
I agree with the comment before me. Why the hell would he thank her? She's dead. Would he thank her for being dead? He thanked the people there because they backed him up. Don't mistake this for me saying he's for sure innocent or anything, all I am saying is that it would have been even weirder for him to add his wife in a thank you speech. He likely talked about her extensively before this.
I would STILL be profusely proclaiming my innocence & that I would never, or could never, harm my wife!!!! That’s ALL I could possibly EVER say if I was innocent.

THAT makes sense.
yup
😮 wow.. cause I’m trying to figure this out.
If she did - why isn't there any evidence? A divorce attorney? A friend who heard her outcry? This case stinks without nailing down the motive.

It's odd that he would be so good at hiding an abusive relationship to the point that there seems to be no motive......yet so bad at faking an accident.
Pooby1000 thats what I was thinking, but then abuse doesnt have to be in your face, it can be very, very subtle, but it is surprising if the ones who are capable of that would be so stupid when it comes to staging an accident
It's often hidden. There is too much shame so the victim often does the covering up more. I always have to eyeroll when "There was no evidence of domestic violence, no history of police being called. Seemed like a normal couple"
He clearly didn't do it
If there are no signs of abuse let's just call it a well hidden abuse.
@@Justcarlosdiaz He covered for his stepson. She was dead when they left house or she'd have made him go towards her job, his hands would have been bruised and swollen, plus he seems more like someone who'd "take the fall" for his child than hit his wife.

Yeah. That's covert narcissism for you.
They were 'character witnesses' & can only testify to what they know even when the evidence presented speaks contrary.
The person that was revealed to them was different to the one familiar to the victim.
Also, there have been cases where the "victim" set up false evidences, as part of their vendetta to ruin the other person, so we should appreciate that these witnesses were unbiased in their reports despite their relationship with the victim.
I hope Barbara understands that this is just how the cookie crumbles & doesn't take it personally!
From the outside, a relationship could look picture perfect. None of those people truly knew what was going on with them.
Sometimes from the inside too. Don’t forget that

Todd's 911 call reminds me of Dan, the high talker, from Seinfeld. This case reminds me of Michael Paterson - aka the Staircase murder. it IS interesting that family, friends, children all stand by him, but that just leads me to believe that this was NOT in Todd's nature, not pre-meditated, something extra-ordinary happened, ie 'a crime of passion', and that he deeply regrets it and would gladly take it back, but that ultimately he snapped and in a panic, had to follow through and tried to cover it up. but if this dude did plan this, what a moron.
how did you watch this 3 days ago?
That's a long sentence. 👍✌️
@@papapooch9387 Patreon donators get early access to videos before they are published to the general public.
Same thoughts here. So many loved ones supported MP throughout that case, but he always seemed suspicious to me. From experience, I know first hand that someone can act one one in front of everyone, but very differently in front of a partner. My ex was viewed as a local hero while I knew differently. It's definitely possible. That doesn't mean either one of these guys are guilty, but the evidence doesn't add up to anything but foul play.
Agree with the staircase comparison 100%, in that case we saw information had been uncovered by MPs wife and it likely ended in a crime of passion. Also using common sense looking at both this case and MP’s it just doesn’t add up how these woman could die in an accident.
Why is it that guilty people never ask for a lawyer? Ever. They always assume lawyering up is admitting guilt, when in reality, you committed a sloppy crime and a lawyer is your only hope.
Absolutely! They think they can con their way through their interview, that they set up a very credible accident scene. They are truly idiots!
Not to mention, taking the stand!! 🤭😂😂😂
It's the classic narcissist's blind spot - they have a misplaced confidence that they are _so_ much smarter than everyone else & can manipulate any situation.... for them, it's not possible that they made a mistake. Leaving their defence in anyone else's hands is also admitting to themselves that they _aren't_ the smartest person in the room, so their need to feel superior to everyone else overrides their common sense... logical things like getting a lawyer! There's many victims & prosecutors & cops who are very thankful for that blind spot because they'll sink themselves every time! ⚖
As insane as it sounds, many of them don't want to lose money on a lawyer.
Well once they ask for a lawyer there’s no more footage. Nothing to see
“I want to solve this as well as you do” 8:05. If it was a freak accident what is there to solve? Something I wonder if they picked up on him saying during that interrogation/interview.
Yeah I caught that too. What is there to solve Todd? A Freudian slip, what an interesting choice of words.
He simply means exactly how it all happened. The detailed dynamics. Im sure it was fast and Todd didnt know himself the step by step.
I thought the same thing. If your wife was killed in a freak accident I don’t care who you are, every vivid detail would be easily explained over and over again. The cuts on the knuckles this guy clearly beat the ever living crap out of her. As far as the pipe going through the windshield, that might be believable if both vehicles were in an interstate traveling at high rates of speeds. But traveling in a 2-lane back road I don’t think so. Any commercial vehicle would not be going that fast. The driver would risk getting pulled over and possibly losing both their job and license. Glad he was convicted.
I seen his full interrogation and my god, his voice, drove me insane.

@@damnmuggle still amazes me that they think with all the evidence before them that they still think he didn't do it.
@@alikat5590 Its not that he probably didn't do it... Its that the prosecution literally fails to establish the why and how he killed her beyond a reasonable doubt. Did he kill her? Probably... but a rage filled abusive man wasn't the way it was done. The way they put it is not beyond a reasonable doubt. While he was guilty, the prosecution is lucky for a jury that didn't care about reasonable doubt, and went off the fact that he probably did it. Unfortunately thats not the way the law is supposed to work though. They need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he murdered her. And I don't think the prosecution did that in this case. It's not that hes innocent, its that hes not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
@@jackshyt4 thats important point because people do get framed and set up.
Thank Goodness that the jury had insight and made their decision based on what evidence they were provided -
I could never sleep or look in the mirror at myself if I was on a jury and didn’t convict a guilty person!
I heard a famous prosecutor in Texas say during a case - beyond any reason of any doubt - this person would still be alive void knowing this person - in this case - no truck and too much evidence or lack of evidence to back up a freak pole through the window “accident” from some mystery truck !
Motive - does instant anger & non planned rage need a motive ?
No one knows what exactly 2 people can instantly argue about in a car !!! 🗣🔥🔥🔥💣 and on a waning dark solar & lunar eclipse on September 15 2016@ 730-8am - especially no!! Sudden anger - sudden rage ... 🤔
===
My boyfriend of 3 years now - he survived a car wreck on August 5 2005!
He decided to break-up with his girlfriend of 7 yrs in her car on that day!
They were screaming at each other in the car!
He got out of car & walked & she picked him back up (in doing so - she took handful of prescription pills while he was walking off his anger)
per her stomach content after her death that day!
-He got back in car @3pm! August 5 2005!
She proceeded to immediately drive her car with him in it suddenly into a power pole & wall!
Over a break-up fight and him admitting dating another girl ! Truth truth truth
Did she set out to die that morning and run her car into a pole & wall ? Did he set out to break-up with her that morning ?
- no according to him they got into a huge argument at the dmv at 2pm that lead to her immediate death and him with stitches in his head with EMT & police saying it was a miracle he was alive & yes the ‘jaws of life’ had to be used to get him out of her wrecked car after hitting a pole & wall suddenly!
-
The police said that he should have died too!
She died Instantly at 23 yrs old!
He was “not charged with any crime”
and that’s due to her stomach content of too many prescription pills in her system that day
He could have “easily grabbed the steering wheel” of her car that day & caused the wreck too - it’s his word against his dead girlfriend!!!
- who knows what really happened in her car that day ???
Honestly who knows? but only him!
Same as this case -
yet a witness testified seeing the car pulled over with no broken windshield in this case -right?
See the bigger picture
My boyfriend’s experience:
What was her /his girlfriends motive proven motive of suddenly hitting a pole and wall on purpose?
Her last words according to him was “if I cannot have you then no one can” & she then drove into a power pole & flipped car into a wall
- I’ve been to The crash site and saw for myself - was on a busy street at 3pm in the afternoon!
Was not premeditated & no planned motive
- yet she tried to kill him and herself
(Prior to that day - she suddenly held a loaded shot gun to his head during a jealousy argument one night!)
Does sudden rage & anger need a motive for murder ???
===
The USA law system allows murders and child molesters & rapists go FREE to commit more crime >>>
due to “lack of evidence and lack of motives” & lack of reasonable doubt !!!
Sick & disgusting unfair system 🤢🤮🤮🤮
/// I’m allowed to have my own opinion just like everyone else
Yeah, he's guilty. Honestly, when I saw the intro to this video, I thought there would be something more compelling to suggest he was innocent than "he's friends and family had nice things to say about him". My dad was psychologically abusive to my immediate family (myself, my mother and sister) yet to outsiders (extended family, family friends, neighbours etc...) he was the nicest guy ever because he knew how to manipulate and charm people.

Did anybody notice during police interview his leg was shaking a mile a minute
Robin Powers
That doesn’t mean anything, some people do that without even thinking.
It can be a really hard habit to break.
I get severe anxiety attacks sometimes that causes mine to do that and theres nothing i can do to control it i think either way he would of been anxious about what just happened so might not mean his guilty but the lack of glass on the body and no blood on pipe definitely raise some questions as to the legitimacy of his story.
That doesn’t mean a thing. I do that all the time, even at the dinner table.
I do that 😂 I am fked, if I get interrogated. 😂😂
My leg is constantly doing that and I dont even notice.
Sounds like a controlling and manipulative man whose wife probably told him she was fed up and leaving.

and how weird is it that this guy is supposedly on his way to fix someones windshield...and then his wife dies supposedly via a pole through his own windshield? strange indeed.
Yeah.
ice la honk ever see the story of a woman who was out drinking with friends hit a homeless man and he became lodged in her windshield. But instead of calling the cops and ambulance she drove home and parked the car with him in the windshield in her garage.
It took days for him to die. Even with basic first aid he would have lived. But no, and her and her friends got high and drunk and laughed about it.
Kicker is dude would have l lived and he had mental problems and was high himself so if she stopped she probably would have gotten a suspended license and probation instead of what she ended up with, a man would still be alive.
Exactly!!
I guess you could say they both had windshields on their mind 😏
@@marquisdelafayette1929 yep, didn't know her and her friends laughed about it though, that's wicked.
I watched that entire case and he’s such a yuck. He was obsessive with her. 9 chances out of 10, a marriage can LOOK so great to outsiders, but on the inside be horrible. I know that myself. He killed his wife. I noticed that he didn’t say how much he loved his wife, or missed her, in his statement to the court. All about him.
I don't think 9 out of every 10 apparently great marriages are actually horrible...
it's very similar in context to the Watts case. People thought he was just the ideal guy, such a loving father, such a caring husband. People are so naïve, it amazes me all the time. She probably had a heart to heart with him, and who knows the boss had probably fell in love with her, and his controlling a$$ went nuts, look at his knuckles, something she said pissed him off and he raged on her. Sad, always red flags.
@@unite4peace88 that seems a bit uh… stupid to assume. There’s no evidence that her boss had any kind of romantic feelings or that she felt similarly towards them. Also the stuff about him being controlling is basically just speculation.
@@coldplaysgames6695 Seems I struck a nerve, just speculating of course, Narcissists will reveal their true nature eventually, even in online comments. 😆
@@unite4peace88 I think Todd is guilty and controlling but also agree its stupid to speculate details like that her boss was in love with her
Honestly, the friends and families testimony that their relationship was "perfect" and they never fought or even complained about eachother is just as suspicious, to me, as if he HAD abused her. Anyone who's ever been in a relationship for that long will tell you, theres something wrong with that picture.
Todd is the first 911 call I've heard that actually wants an answer to when EMT are arriving, as if he wanted longer rather than them to hurry.
Just a feeling, imo asking "When" three times was a curiosity; "another red flag".
I thought the same. He wanted to know how much longer he had to finish staging things and prepare for his performance.
A pipe fell off the truck, and hit my wife, about the face, neck, head seven to ten times..
It's so annoying when i have to fend off sentient bouncing pipes trying to kill my wife.
Loyroy I know this happens way to often
And then it strangled her with it's pipe hands and washed all the blood off itself
it’s those damn ghost trucks!

OSW Review, this is great also
People who are dark in private, often overcompensate with charity and charm in public. How many times have we heard testimonies of friends and even family of people who've done horrible things, saying "He wouldn't hurt a fly" and "He was always a gentleman". They're shocked that someone they were so close to could do such a thing.
The idea that the pipe couldn't have bounced through the windshield is naïve. Ive seen so many bizarre things on the road in my lifetime, things I would struggle to believe had I not seen them with my own eyes, including things bouncing off of the road and into my windshield. Dashcams capture all sorts of freakish things that cause accidents. That being said, all of her bizarre injuries, his bizarre injuries, the location of blood, the strange story circumstances and all that other stuff is what makes this suspicious. The fact that there was no blood on the pipe and the fact that he didn't call 911 IMMEDIATELY is what reeks, but the idea that they couldn't get the pipe to bounce just right is meaningless. Once you've seen a washing machine come off of a truckbed, hit the road, roll and launch 15 feet into the air and get stuck in a tree, you'll become a believer in any story about road debris.
Watch the trial my god he lies so much its insane
Agreed. Physics at speed is a funny thing. Their test didn’t show anything but a lack of ingenuity.
You kind of missed the interesting part in the Dash cam footage where they paramedics turn up and tell him she is still alive and breathing. ANd he starts asking if he can go in the ambulance with her, but the Police are already a bit concerned about his behaviour and so make a point to keep him separate from his unfortunate Wife.

Oh yea and my best friend had a relationship like that. Everyone around her thought he was the best guy ever and if she complained even of how he was treating her in general they would try to blame her... what they didn’t know is that he raped her on her wedding day so badly she was injured and had to see a doctor.. and then continued to try to abuse her and manipulate her, and she was in another country cut off from relatives or friends who would understand... and he continued to play good guy even after she got out.. but, sadly in the end,, admitted what he had done to her... admitted rape. Absolutely people can hide what they are from everyone around them and are a different person at home.... and usually it’s something they would be very ashamed of and never want anyone to know..(ps no one knows who am talking of so the information and experience is relevant.
