I’ve read Teri’s book “Alone” 3 times. I was fascinated by her story bc I am near her age. After her rescue she went to live with family and they decided it would be best to not talk about what had happened and just to give Teri a safe environment. She didn’t talk to anyone about it until she had taken one of her children to a pediatrician. In the course of asking about her family history when she answered both parents were dead The dr asked how they died. Bingo. When she told him, the dr asked her to wait a moment and he went to get a psychologist to speak to her. This dr helped her explore the aftermath and the many ways it was still affecting her life. This part of her story captured me bc I experienced severe, long term trauma as a child. I had to escape my environment when I was 12 and afterwards lived in foster homes. I too experienced the common practice in that time era to not talk about what I had been through. This cleared the path of my early adulthood to be blind to the potholes and quick sand in my path. It would all come out in the form of self destructive behaviors and mistakes so enormous as to do lethal damage to myself. I look back and all I see is ruins. Hearing Teri’s story brought home to me how I was set up for trouble bc of the “better to not talk about” era that I was born into. It wasn’t like people weren’t aware of what had happened to me. It was too messy. To me the most compelling part of this story was Teri’s survival. I felt like she was my mirror image.
Beautifully said. My parents are from the repressed era as well. No one was overly confessional. Both of my parents were badly abused. Neither parent ever abusive. It’s only this moment in writing this tears are stinging realizing how unlikely this is and how hard they worked to break that cycle. I’m so sorry you endured all of that with so little, if any, support. You are incredibly resilient. You may see ruins but I see a lot of resilience & an amazing ability to reflect. Edit to add I want to get ahold of the book,too

Thank you, Kate for taking the time to leave a very kind and thoughtful comment. I appreciate the encouragement.
Wow, you sound like such a smart well adjusted person, thanks for sharing, childhood trauma is so hard to deal with, you're a hero!
@@datyellaman447
I appreciate your comment. Thank you for being kind 😌
I grew up with Terri. School. Camp. Somehow she came up tonight in conversation w/my husband. He got a bit bored. So I’m thinking maybe you’ll listen. Empathize.
After this most horrific assault, Terri recovered (??) & was sent “home.” She had no home. Her family was murdered. Everyone avoided her. The taint of all that pain.
We remained friends but only superficially. She was so dead.
But we always kept the thread. So, back in our 20’s, we had meetup in Indiana where she’d gone to live. She was employed in an Amish boat building shop & living in a tiny apartment. She was a ghost. Haunted & sad.
I’d written to Hollywood screenwriters back then. “Her story needs to be told.”
So tonight, telling husband, thought maybe there might be something on UA-cam.
Appreciate your comment. Your empathy. What she endured? And you? I despise this throwaway term “survivor.” Just a convenient way to disregard the lifetime of terror, suffering the victims endure.
Terri Jo, you’re still my hero. “Lifefromaparkinglot.” You as well friend.
In an era when divorce was rare, this guy seems to have been responsible for most of them. 😳
holy shxt thats funny 😂
😹😹😹
What a contrast between Terri Jo's bravery and Julian's cowardice!
I'll never understand people who kill others so callously. I understand serial killers/psychopaths who came from hideous childhood abuse because they are obviously just visiting the pain they feel inside on others, but these "high functioning" sociopaths should know better. I just don't get it.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 All murder seems insane to me. I especially can't imagine taking a life for money
@@janedmunds4218 Not all murder seems insane to me. Crimes of passion, and drug gang murders all seem a natural consequence of humans responding to either emotion or economics. It's the ones that don't fall in those categories that creep me out.
It's like the contrast between men and women generally
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 one aspect of personal trauma that has not been addressed is that he was in combat. He was probably affected by so many losses of fellow soldiers and his own close calls. Not to excuse his behavior, but to clarify his experience and reaction to it
It’s crazy how much suspicious shit one person can be involved in before they get caught for something horrible.
Who knows what else he did that he was never caught for. Pretty sure the known incidents would probably scratch the surface.
@@PrecociousFriand tip of the iceberg theory almost always checks out.
Julian seemed quite good at weaseling his way out of trouble.
@@avalonjustin yeah, I’m guessing he was pretty charming & very persuasive.
Slickies
What a tough, resourceful child.
Amazing how that girl survived. Couldn't imagine the horror she felt floating out there in the middle of the ocean.
She must have been in shock. It is incredible she was able to manage to get on the raft and survive. My recollection is that children succumb to dehydration much faster than do adults.
That’s my nightmare lol being stuck in the middle of the ocean
@@lonemaus562 Mine too. Do you ever get the feeling that you were on the Titanic?
She spoke at a book signing where we live, and said she still sometimes has nightmares about it.
These true crime stories that involve children are always difficult to hear but this one was harrowing.
He killed more people than just them. He never even tried to care for his two boys, either. What a colossal pos. My dad has toureettes and has been ridiculed all his life but he has always taken it like a man and never hurt anyone.
🙏❤
Your a good daughter for realizing this...
I've known people with Tourette's. A little surprising at first, but mostly just a minor annoyance.
Question. I did a podcast on this. Where did you hear he never tried to care for the boys? I am not saying you are wrong. I couldn't find much on his kids.
Who said he had Tourette’s ? All I heard was that he stammered when nervous. Big difference between Tourette’s and stammering
Terri Jo survived because of an incredible amount of luck (being below deck as Julian began carrying out his murderous plan, letting go of the rope thereby thwarting Julian’s possible plans to dispose of her, surviving the elements once alone at sea with no water, and later being spotted and saved by a passing ship) and by being a very clever child (remembering the small raft and knowing to untie the rope freeing it from sinking along with the yacht). God bless her. She witnessed her dead family members, became an orphan and nearly died at sea at age 11.
Such an unforgettable story. I'm glad the girl survived and moved on.
👍
Such a strong girl having to move on despite having lost her entire family.
While in one hand we have Julian, who despite a good upbringing and so many second chances in life, was still able to commit murders. On the other hand we have Terry Jo, who despite having lived through a devastating experience of losing her family in this manner, was able to overcome her circumstances and even inspire others to heal from life tragedies.
Fascinating case Dr. Grande, thank you.❤️
That's the difference between a destructive, selfish narcissist and a more mentally healthy person.
Makes us wonder about the resilience or lack of each human being
It’s so convenient to write write off the horror & lifelong traumatization to the pithy “survivor” narrative. Terry Jo was my friend. Great kid. As an adult her struggle, isolation was crushing.
One was pampered, whilst the other was not.
@@blakesleyk.7166 I cannot even imagine her pain.
I suspect that Harvey's co-workers, the people who had to interact with him daily in the military service, knew what a "fake" he was, as did his wives. His first wife was lucky the marriage ended in annulment.
Do you mean Julien?
@@everforever370 The murderer who is the focus of the video was named Julian Harvey.
@@synthiamcbride7194 my bad. Thank you..I was confused
Also loved the "He vastly underestimated his victim."
Too many marriages too many accidents !!....I think the worlds a safer place without him.
That's for sure...he was dangerous
"It's easy to see how this could impede sales performance." That's funny. Your delivery is right on. NOICE Grande!
Yeah this got a good chuckle from me also
I was drinking a 13yo single malt, double-barrel scotch when he said this. I'm guessing I blew about three-dollar's worth out my nose!
@@r.f.pennington746 🤤 I would never drink something so precious while watching something funny. I'd at least pause it every sip 😂
The girl survived?? Wow. Some of these cases literally are stranger than fiction. Great analysis as always.
That guy sounded like he destroyed everything he touched. It was interesting how long a person could get away with all those destructive acts in the past.
I'm delighted that Julian isn't wasting tax payer money. Thank you Dr.Grande for your analysis of this tragedy.
I really appreciate the deep dives into cases that are fascinating, but not that well known. Thanks for working hard on your frequent content.
I agree. I’ve never heard of this case but it is so fascinating
Love this too!!
???? He mostly does very well known cases that have been done to death
This is the first one.
It makes me wonder how common family annihilation was before forensic science and criminology and reliable police work was developed. I have a feeling that men did this far more than we know.
What a brave, smart little girl! I’m so glad that she survived and was smart enough to give a (most likely) true version of events. That nutjob was a serial killer!
The mindfulness of Terry Joe, and under such stress. Wow.
Especially if she knew her family had been murdered
This is such a classic case of people being duped by someone because they are good-looking.
I get the same impression.
Ironically, in the two days since I wrote that I have been made aware of the destructively narcissistic behaviour of a good-looking person in my own life.
@@icturner23 it's time for you to stop staring in the mirror, me thinks 😉
@@martindmunro What a bizarre thing for you to say.
It's funny how they always say they were good looking on Snapped but then you see their pictures and it isn't really so. I think like Scarlett O'Hara (said person) wasn't really pretty but few noticed when cast under their charms.
What a frightening personality. Terri is extremely brave. 😔
He was incredibly close to getting away with it too. The police would have had absolutely no evidence of a crime if it wasn’t for Terry Jo. She nearly didn’t survive to tell the tale either. The human body can only endure 3 to 4 days without water and she’d been without it for three and a half.
God is good
Dr. Grande is the hero we didn't know we needed but am now extremely happy to have. Thanks for the upload, as always!
Dr. Grande is simply the best.
I have to say I agree with you. 😊
Most definitely! I remember a video he made last year on a shooting that was so disturbing to me (a neighbor shoots their two neighbors while they were shoveling snow.) that I thought about it daily with so many questions. I finally stopped racking my brain over it after Dr. Grande did an analysis of it. It helped me a lot. I will forever watch his videos. God bless him! 💝
No one on You tube seen dr grande walk but I am sure he can.
@@lovelylibra6490 I still think about that incident often! His video on it is very good though!
For some reason, I'm reminded of the story of the young girl and the man who were the real life inspiration for the book "Lolita".... It's a haunting and disturbing story that makes the book even creepier than it already is.
I read Terry Jo’s autobiography! I’d definitely give it a read if you enjoy that type of autobiography
She was very tough to last 3 days with no water or shade in a warm place
Thanks for the rec! 🙂
Well, he was a nice gentleman....NOT!
So glad she survived.
He did society a favour when he ended his own life!
Lesson Learned - if you didn't learn anything from marriages 1 & 2... just give up. You're just not cut out for it. 😛
I didn't recall this case. Thanks for the Golden Oldie, Dr.!!!! The way you mix it up is one of the things I love, you never know where the doctor is taking you today.😎
Terry is such a strong positive person and an inspiration to all of us.
To have so many wives with them wanting the divorces tells me he enjoyed hurting people. Most people who have this condition don't become killers. I agree the daughter surviving probably saved other peoples lives too. He had the skills to be a successful person financially yet prefered taking short cuts with insurance fraud. He may have become unemployable because of the consequences of his moral and lifestyle decisions.
I'm starting to believe that you film all these in a day and just switch shirts to give the illusion of time passing.
The amount of videos that you put out is staggering and they're all high quality thank you so much
Wow…I don’t think I have heard of this one. Great to hear a story I haven’t heard 1,000x. Awesome channel thanks!
That makes 2 of us.
What a disaster of a guy. Ruined so many things & took lives Scary no one caught on 😔⛵⚓Thanks Dr G😊🤍🤍
That 3 hour tour didn't end well. He was a murderer and a coward imo. Thanks Dr Grande for great content.
You beautifully laid out the steps to his probable motivation for his alleged crimes. By the time you summed everything up, I'm left thinking, well, of course it's as clear as a bell. In my humble opinion, the mark of a great educator.
How could the cops keep letting him get away with crime after crime? geez. so many red flags.
@@CastledarkDweller27 welcome to white privilege
@@cjh1438 and handsome privilege, a subcategory
Terry Jo was a very plucky child and I’m glad that she seems to have had a happy life.
It's crazy how one person can cause so much destruction and pain. I hope I never meet someone like him!!!
How many planes do you need to crash before you get a “reputation” for crashing planes?
Think the Air Force should have been concerned??
That was amazing that Terry survived and was braved to speak up!!
Great video Dr Grande!!!
I swear the video speeds up 20x when Dr. Grande lists the five factor model lol
to my ears, that bit always becomes just one long continuous word with 500 syllables. lol
would love to see some of your educational content come back! I love these too, but I keep going back to your videos from 2-3 years ago about different mental health diagnoses. thanks for the great content!
I agree.
I miss those vids too!
Bc(
The sad thing it was supposed to be a 3 hour tour. A 3 hour tour.
Well done lol
😂😂🤭
Ha Ha. Never take a 3 hour your. 2 or 4 but never a 3.
😢 he was an Evil Skipper
Used to love Gilligan's island.
A friend's 85 year old widower dad married a 68 year old woman who had been married five times before. In four of those marriages the guys died in accidents, in the one marriage the guy left her after three months. My friend became suspicious of her, but his dad never listened and cut him out of his will. I was sad for my friend as he has mild developmental disability and his dad decided not to listen to him because of that. Even when my friend told me all this about the woman I felt suspicious too as it wasn't like the guys died of old age like my friend dad eventually did.
Every day I look forward to receiving a notification for one of Dr. Grande's videos. Thanks for the quality and consistency. 😃
My too!
The mom and/or brother probably saw him kill his wife.
Yes, imagine witnessing something like that. On such a small place like a boat, you know there'd be a fight for your life. The story reminds me a bit of the film Dead Calm".
Yes i agree thats why the Mother & son were murdered. Did Dr Grande mention the father of the family?
i know the "baby" was somehow drowned? The older lass survived. But when did the killer get the Dad? Did he say? (maybe i zoned out? lol)
Such a great analysis of a story I never heard about, and that character analysis came across as accurate and scary. Thanks for the reprieve from my lesser problems yet again.
Wow. “Wrecking ball” is the perfect way to describe this guy! Great analysis.
💖💕💖👍🏼 Wondering if (hoping 🙏🏼) you’d be interested in analyzing the movie “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf”? I watched it again last night on TCM and I thought “What would be Dr. Grande’s take on the crazy head games that go on?” It’s not true crime genre but behaviors border on being criminally abusive. 🤷🏼♀️🤞🏼
Great movie.
That is one crazy movie. Richard and Liz together, just like in real life.
“Violence!”
I’m old enough to remember when this happened, I was 9 or 10. It was all over the news. I’m so glad that young girl was able to make a good life for herself.
Obviously this guy had a hard time making up his mind pertaining to women. I guess he got sick of them fast and only really liked his own company.
I enjoyed this one very much Dr.G.🤓💜
Women were a means to an end insurance $$$. I don't believe he could love anyone even superficially.
Marry six times = didn’t like his own company either.
I really like these delves into the older cases. I remember hearing/reading of some of these and it’s interesting to hear after all these years. Especially with all the advances.
I would love to see you analyze Dr Grande. Grande on Grande could be hilarious! Love your videos.
Dr. Grande, don't you get stressed with all this work? You should rest a little. Anyway, really good job!
He makes good money making videos.
@@michaelarojas which means the stress is out by default?
@@enzosimone2 Money makes it worth while.
@@michaelarojas - How would you know Dr Grande’s income?
@@sherunswithscissors There is someone on YT who makes videos about how much popular YTers make (search how much does _______ make on YT). Dr. G has almost 900k subscribers and 10s of 1000s of views of each video … he’s probably earning more than he would in private practice.
Well done. I haven't met an out and out murderer ( yet) with these traits, but have encountered
psycho-lites. Terrible how they can reduce a man to wondering how you must take precaution
to defend yourself to the death ( if need be ).
I’ve been binging on your videos and want to thank you for all the great content. I really appreciate how you determine guilt or innocence in real life and guilt or innocence beyond a reasonable doubt. I helps me settle the questions I have in my own mind. It’s my free therapy! Thanks Doc!!🤘🏻
Dr. Grande can you analyse the movie “We need to talk about Kevin” and give your professional opinion on what Eva could have done differently to stop Kevin from becoming such a monstrous kid.
Watching on my day off while making me and my cats lunch 😜
Style, make sure you cover your cat's ears during the scary parts-lol
@@sarahalbers5555 they are savages 😂
geez those other earlier wives (the ones that werent murdered) were lucky to get away alive.
I have so much respect for you and the professional way you present your videos. i very much look forward to your uploads.
He was a big coward, that's what he was. Thank you for the video, Dr.!
He killed multiple people for 40k? Wow
Too bad Julian offed himself before he could write his book, "How to be Utterly Ruinous for Fun and Profit". His money train got off at the station where the valiant girl survived.
I love your channel. I've never heard of this case. Thank you, Dr. Grande!
I just saw the "I Survived" episode on this case. Such an amazing story. Thanks for your insight Dr. Grande.
Haven't heard this story before. Nasty piece of work.
There’s a reason they had a whole movie called “double indemnity”…those policies are never good news lol
“Come now, you’ve never read an actuarial table in your life, have you?”
(Barton Keyes is right on point, for those who kept issuing policies to this wrecking ball).
It's insane to me that in the US someone can take out insurance policy for someone else, I really don't understand why? There have been warnings about this in movi3s 80 years ago already so I really hope the rules have changed by now, as I have heard several stories like this, even people taking insurance for strandens, really pissing me of, those poor innocent people murdered just for money, total waste of life.
@@teijaflink2226 now I want to know, too. It’s not always a bad thing but it can so easily be abused and so many ppl are money hungry. I have seen well meaning husbands take out policies for himself and his wife to safeguard the children and thought it was wise-they stayed married of course. 53 years of marriage actually. :) sometimes it’s a good ending but you make such a valid point. You can take out a policy on a stranger!??
I subscribed long ago and still watch everyday
I love the way you, merely speculate, while nailing it on the head at the same time.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏😘
"...he married his 4th wife, although she thought she was the 2nd..." 🤣🤣 geez
This reminds me of Cape Fear.
That was a true scary movie- both the original with Robert Mitchum and the reboot with Nick Nolte.
What an interesting analysis. Like most of the people you discuss, I'm very happy to say I don't know anyone like him.
Yay! You brought OCEAN back! A special suprise for my bday today. Thank you yet again for being the most consistent thing in my life right now. And yes, I'm getting help! Lol. 🧡
Another tragic but fascinating case!

There's a documentary on HBO on this subject. Have you watched it?
I remember this young girl. Astounding story.
WOW!!! Thank you Dr Grande for this look back to a history that occurred only 2 years before I was born. I didn’t know about this horrible situation. I do so appreciate your concise unpacking of these events! I remember watching a few of your videos back when you first began. You have definitely made your mark and a delight to watch how you take a very awful situation and present it with respect and caution!
I know I've said this several times, but I can't say how much I appreciate all the incredibly hard work and dedication you put into all of your content, Dr. Grande!! ♡♡
"When someone answered the door, he ran away. It's easy to see how this would impede sales performance." I'm dyin' here.
Excellent episode. I never heard of this story before. The way you explained him is very helpful in recognizing the behavior of others.
YAY! Please Dr, can you analyse Australian Serial Killer Mark Reed?
"He kept committing obvious crimes."
Grrrrrrrr
Oh how I have missed the acronym O.C.E.A.N! This was a really interesting case I had never heard of before. Great insightful coverage as always Dr. Grande!🤠💕
Loving these daily uploads!!! Especially in the spooky season :)
I hadn't heard about this case. I appreciate your time and work on these cases I've never heard of! I also love your narcissist type videos. Thanks Dr Grande!
I grew up near GB WI and remember this! It was front page story for weeks! I even wrote Mary Jo when she was recovering in hospital!

@@CastledarkDweller27 yes and I was about her age! What a horrific thing to live thru! I still remember her pic on the front page in the little raft she was all burnt from exposure and salt water. It was a miracle she lived. She never answered my letter it’s ok I’m sure she had thousands!

Dr. Grande, could you do an analysis of Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini in the future? Thanks.
I'd be interested in any of the three, but I think that Hitler might prove to be a bit more of a challenge to understand than Stalin or Mussolini even though all three of them are similar in regards to their politics and beliefs.
@@TiffWaffles I'm interested because no man (as far as I am aware) has never done a brief psychological analysis of Stalin, Hitler, or Mussolini!
@@McIntyreBible I very much doubt that is the case with either Stalin or Hitler - I can’t imagine the psychiatric profession could resist analyzing two of the most famous psychopaths in history. 🤣. Not to mention that WWII books *sell* so anything like this would be relatively easy to get published.
Throw in Pol Pot.
@@TiffWaffles Actually, I don’t think Hitler was all that different from the average narcissistic psychopath. 🤣. The main difference was that he lived at a time when Germany was extremely vulnerable to a anyone who looked like they might be able to fix the country’s terrible problems. His gifts were all in demagoguery - how to get people to believe in and follow him.
My day just got better !!!....Dr Grande is here. :)
What a fascinating case! Thank you Dr Grande.

I've never heard of this story before. I usually watch or read about stories like this but I've never heard of this one before. Thanks for the video.
The girl who survived eventually wrote a book about her experiences called "Alone", she's a sweet and amazing woman.
Thank you for all your hard work; and the videos you upload daily. Thank you Dr Grande.
Harvey's history of buying boats remind me of a saying: The two best days of a man life is, the day he buys his boat, and the day he is able to collect the insurance money for destroying said boat.
I've always heard it as " the day he buys the boat, and the day he sells it"
lol. Good one! 🤣
Ha-ha! You made that up!
@@brien1254 You’re correct, RockKnight just changed it to fit this case - pretty funny!!
Thanks for all your hard work Dr. Grande! I was wondering if you could cover the case of Henri Van Breda? There seems to be more than meets the eye here, especially concerning his "lack of emotion" and the way he looks. There were also details that didn't make the trial. Thanks again!
Yes! This case is fascinating! How could this preppy boy next door axe his family and show no emotion. The crime shocked South Africa which is hard to do as it is such a violent country. Also the emergency South African 911 type call is almost comedy from the operator's incompetence and Henri giggles on the call...🧐
Right on time for lunch. Thanks, Dr. Grande.
Dr Grande, your channel has it all!❤️ So sorry for this family. Terry Jo is a tragic heroine. Julian is a monster! My husband grew up in St Pete, Fl and he’s an excellent sailor. I would trust him way more than this charlatan. Thanks so much!
My personality factors are 2: Eat & Sleep. Love your channel. Also your sarcasm is great. I work in the legal department and when I bring attention to a department about not being compliant with the law, I am often asked if the law is new. My response is the law is not new for the law was enacted the year the bread slicer was invented or when the stop sign was invented (depend which legal citation).
In other words you very much enjoy the Drs dead pan humor? ;)
One Mississippi two Mississippi schoolboard
Terry Joe’s resilience is my biggest takeaway from this fascinating recount.
