Usually guilty suspects fall into 2 categories. Those who don't want to talk to the cops at all, and those who go out of their way to try to talk to them excessively.
He didn't go to the cops with the intent on giving them tips. That was just his excuse to try and figure out how close they were to figuring out it was him. He obviously had immense guilt and the anxiety and suspense was too much
imagine how an innocent person would react, esp w underlying factors like anxiety disorder, tachycardia, hell even if they drink caffeine or smoke nicotine within a couple hrs? their heart rate isn’t stable, hearing a question like that could even cause anxiety in someone who fits none of the categories i mentioned, it’s already gotta be nerve racking being in an interrogation then to be questioned like that, it’s insane they still use them when they’re not accurate. someone w anti social personality or psychopathy can easily beat them as they don’t feel nervousness the same way.
wrong. an innocent man would have been so very intimidated that he would be in despare and not real bright thinking. And I bet you too. It is so easy to conclude in hind sight and we cannot imagine the pressure one must feel, especially if you are not too bright of mind, when being accused of murder.
He probably came back to the police department the second time because he knew he might have “messed up” and he thought by coming back and suggesting possible theories it would keep the focus off him.
His ease in lying on so many occasions and even more so his absolute confidence in his own persuasive abilities when he asked to be interrogated again indicate that perhaps this violent crime was not the first in his life.
I love how these supposedly "Caring" people who "didn't mean to hurt em" never think to get them to a hospital? He'd get an assault and battery charge but she could have survived a head injury.
It’s probably not the true story of what happened. Even he were positive she was dead, there’s no way he would have been able to burn her body if he really loved her. That’s insane
I understand that. but if he really dident care at all, he would not have gone to the police station. he would have ran. but hes too old to run. and too remorseful to not tell anyone.
A brazillian dude was arrested a couple of weeks ago for doing something like this... He tried to kill his parents, but his mom survived, and when a neighbor came to tell him that his dad was murdered and his mom was in the hospital, he let it slip: "but didn't my mom die as well?" The neighbor suspected, informed that to police, and he became the first suspect. a week later he confessed.
@@alexisperez1612 this! The ONLY thing I think for the full length of those videos is how I would basically be in jail a hundred times over for displaying every single red flag, body language or suspicious phrase possible, even if I have no invenvolment whatsoever 😵
@@alexisperez1612 He asked in a really suspect way, I mean, he acted really scared/unconfortable when he found out his mom was still alive, instead of feeling relieved
Not uncommon that the guilty suspect will do things like go to the cops as the concerned person or even do news interview, in an attempt to paint themselves in a better light initially and throw the attention off themselves. The problem is mistakes are usually made during the lying.
For those confused about the comment with the dogs being suspicious, it’s suspicious because right before he says that, the cop had asked if she had just run away. His response for her having not run away, is that she wouldn’t have run away without her dogs. He supposedly hasn’t been at her house after the disappearance, so how would he know that her dogs were still in the home? That’s something he shouldn’t have been able to know. Edit: for the people saying that you knew already, these were for the few comments I saw who were confused about why it was suspicious. If you already knew, good for you lol. This comment wasn’t for you 😭💔
For some reason it took me multiple times to think through it, but yeah it's the combination of "did she leave" and "no she wouldn't without her dogs". Hes not supposed to know where she is so she could have left with them, but he seems pretty sure she didn't, which means he doesn't think she left, which means maybe he knows where she is. It's suspicious at least.
Never take a polygraph. It can do nothing to help you and if it gives a false positive it can hurt you. If they want you to take one then passing won’t make them rule you out as innocent. They will still consider you a suspect regardless. It really can never help. If they’re even asking you to do it you need a lawyer. Don’t let them tell you “we’re having everyone do it” because they’re not.

My bro. in law was an internal affairs detective for the New Orleans P.D. for over 20 yrs. He said NEVER, EVER take a police polygraph. He said THEY interpret it & you ALWAYS fail-even if you pass!
I jus seen a TV show where dude was a suspect for over 20 years due to a test tht he passed yet they still sed he failed, it took the lawyer fucking 15 years to uncover tht lil tid bit where the prosecution themselves sed he passed with flying colors
On 2 separate episodes of the first 48, two guys failed polygraph tests and later were determined innocent, and they found the real suspects later.. Yes, innocent people fail. Polygraphs, and that is why they are not admissible in court
I wouldn't take a polygraph even if I'm innocent, those things can be read wrong and used against anyone. If I'm innocent i would of told them everything and feel taking one would not further the case.
melokc: absolutely agree. Could not care less if they think I'm not willing to cooperate by refusing to take part of this type of testing that amounts to nothing more than a clown show. If I am innocent then I don't care if the circus is in town....I don't want to but a ticket.🤤🤤🤤
How do you know? There wouldn't be a crime to make a doc about if the person asked for a lawyer b/c most lawyers would tell you to have no contact with the police except through me. In other words we don't get to see all the crime interrogations where people lawyered up immediately.
“Your questions seem less like you are using me as a source to help you find her and more like you suspect me. I with love to keep helping you, but you’re on the wrong track and I have no choice but to invoke my right to an attorney and to remain silent.” That’s what I would do if I were innocent and they wanted me to take a polygraph.
You’re more gracious than I am. Most any cop will get from me, even under the best circumstances would be, “I don’t answer questions or consent to any searches, seizures, tests, or conversations. Am I being detained?”
@@BouillaBased I'm with you. And I was with you when the story I'm about to tell happened. I do not trust the police. I won't talk to the police. About a year or so ago, I was a witness to a murder. I know I was innocent. I called 911. The next day I sat down with police and relayed all the facts as I recalled them. On the way to meet the detective, I was thinking "I don't talk to police" but I did it anyway. I didn't like seeing the murder. I didn't want to be a part of it, but I knew the guy had to be caught. FAQ: I saw on the news that they caught the guy about 3 days later. I was never contacted again after my initial statement. I never called the detectives to do any curiosity follow-up.
I'd say not to even say that as it could perhaps infer you're cognizant of some guilt levying on your conscience. Simply refuse and invoke your right to remain silence. Let your attorney handle the rest. "Oh, no thank you. I appreciate you asking. I would like to now go forward to invoke my right to remain silent."
@@BouillaBasedThat phrase betrays a criminal mindset. Somebody who genuinely wants justice to be served (because they aren't the criminal) would say what OP said.
@@kylrfoxwell, according to the guy's story, he left earlier in the day, her dogs were there when she went missing, and he never went back. Meaning there was no way for the dude to know if the dogs were there or not unless he lied about what happened
If I did not commit a murder, but did a polygraph test, I would fail with flying colours. It’s the natural way I am. Even if I have not done something, if I’m questioned and I think the person asking the question thinks I did it, my blood pressure will go up and my pulse will shoot to the sky. So for some people, like me, polygraphs won’t work. If you go up to me and say “did you kill her”. Even though I didn’t, just asking me that question, will make my vital signs go sky high. And the polygraph would say I’m guilty.
Probably not actually because it's measured against your base vitals. They'll start with simple questions, if you're already anxious it'll pick up so when they ask the harder questions it wont really be raised if you're innocent. By the time you get to those questions, the first one, they'll have an even enough baseline to gauge and slight differences won't really count. It's a factor of a lot of things used, that's why its ultimately inadmissable. It can lead detectives towards knowing more of what they may need to do to interrogate and solve the case, but it won't solve it alone in any way.
I have always thought that would happen to me too: If.people think I did something I didn't I get extremely anxious and I think I don't act normal. I try to always do the right thing, and someone thinking the opposite of me is profoundly upsetting. I think my blood pressure would go sky high.
I find it interesting how every time he said "no" during the polygraph test, he nodded his head a little bit. A tiny glimpse into the mind's subconscious desire to tell the truth, even when you know it'll ruin you to do so.
Those are "Freudian slips," but Edgar Allen Poe mentioned that desire to blurt out what we'd most like to hide in his story, "The Imp of the Perverse" in 1845.
@@SPACYtunes Humans have an innate need to reveal their inmost self, to make the hidden visible in various ways: acting out, projection of one's own faults on others, Poevian slips, and especially Art, usually the healthiest form.
Polygraphs work pretty well when used correctly. Your nervosity level will be registered and is 'subtracted' from the results. The difference in your body reactions when lying and when telling the truth is then what counts. Also there are some countermeasures to avoid you cheating. I estimate that a good polygrapher can achieve a success quote above 95%. Being a completely unemotional psychopath is your only chance to trick the polygraph.
@@dthbdbsfgh Probably you are right. Therefore nobody should agree on such test. I once observed an examination where I knew the truth (in Germany) and the result was correct. If it's done properly it's pretty accurate.
@@rowredround7206 well of course I don't have evidence but having been a 911 operator working in police departments for nearly 20 years it's a very educated conclusion to come to. Maybe he was so stupid he thought going there multiple times would turn the focus away from him, or maybe the guilt was eating away at him and he wanted to be caught. Either are possible but my guess is the latter
@@911NicoleTCO People have conscious and unconscious sides. Consciously, he may have thought up "a better story." Unconsciously, he may have intended to get this thing over with. So, both are possible.
I'm glad someone said this. All you ever see in the comments are people saying "he thought he was smarter than the police" or "he's a narcissist" or some other such nonsense.
Totally, he went there first time just a day after Linda's official disapearance, they had no body, he commited the crime somewhere else and burned her. Without him telling anything he might even had got away with it. He thought he had to overexplain his "innocence" to not be suspicious to Police but nobody thought he was suspicious until he gave on himself with details. He might as well just stayed simple with what he knew and remained looking "worried" about her. He didnt know where to stop talking, he even went there again...i mean they closed the case just a week after her dissapearence and they had to do practically nothing because he told on himself and then confessed. He wanted to be caught.
If you ever hear Biden tell stories about what someone told him once upon a time, there’s another cue. Or, during a congressional hearing, if someone answers several questions with the same answer, verbatim, it’s an indication they’ve been coached on what they’re allowed to say under oath. Oh, and if they ever answer a question with an answer to a completely different question that nobody asked, they’re trying to avoid perjuring themselves while also appearing to cooperate. Politics is 72% hyperbole and BS aimed at serving personal interests while trying to convince the world it’s essential they do so. Most of the rest happens behind closed doors.
I prefer the longer complete interviews. I find it interesting how a suspect can start off with a story that sounds quite innocent and believable and then, as the interview continues and develops their story starts to unravel little piece by piece until they have nothing left.
The "It was just a mistake. It happens to all of us. It was just a freak thing, I know" for such a heinous crime is such a simple yet effective strategy. It's surprising how often criminals are willing to give up information when they're being told "we all fuck up sometimes." 11:14
It is amazing that these killers actually think hitting a woman is "messing up a little" and hitting her so hard that she dies is " we all fuck up sometimes" Something went seriously wrong with them a long time ago.
@@generalnikkerson I mean yes and no. You don't actually know the woman who died, you have zero idea how she was. IF what he was saying was true, that she was yelling at him and hit/hitting him then yeah, lots of uneducated country people/couples hit each other. It's sad but true. So maybe they had been in fights before and nothing came of it, but maybe just this once because she hit her head when she fell, it caused a freak accident that otherwise would never have happened had she not hit her head in that particular way. The way this guy absolutely weeps when he finally admits to what ended up happening, this DOES sound like an accident. After that, panic could easily set in. The gravity of the situation would be absolutely TERRIFYING, it would be like black hole appeared and was weighing your entire soul down into the dirt or like you're falling in an endless abyss. That fear, terror, guilt, pain, sorrow, and panic would be more than most people could bear. That is to say, look at soldiers in war. Often times people will kill their first enemy soldier or hell they could even be seasoned fighters and something in them snaps. The realization that you have ended another person's life is one of the heaviest if not the heaviest things you can ever feel in the world. In this way, it's entirely probable that he didn't mean to kill her. He was likely acting out in anger just as he claims she was when she allegedly hit him and yelled at him. That would explain the panic and the reason he went and burned her body to hide the evidence because he probably literally had a mental break and freaked the fuck out as we all would in that situation. What, you're gonna say your first impulse is to call 911 after you basically realize your actions killed your girlfriend? Hell no. You're probably going to lose your mind, go bonkers and not know WHAT to do. So yeah, if I were standing in his shoes, I'd be crying my ass off in front of a detective too and probably would have tried to make it all go away to end the nightmare. But point is, as far as we know, it wasn't his hit that killed her, it was him hitting her such that she then fell and knocked her head on something hard. It was the weight of her own body falling from being hit by him smacking against something else hard that likely caused internal trauma to her brain. I don't think this man is/was a monster. I think he was likely a man with problems, serious problems sure, but not a man who was a serial killer or intentionally malevolent. Likely had anger management issues and some control issues. It's sad.
If asked to take a polygraph I would ask the cops: 1. If the polygraph is 100% accurate?. 2. Are the results permitted as evidence in court! They have no choice but to answer "NO" then I would state "well then that's why I won't be taking one!".
That would be a dumb thing to ask cops. Cops are allowed and encouraged to lie to suspects to get what they want. The only correct thing to do for your own self preservation is to ask for a lawyer. But if you’re being asked to do a polygraph, you’ve likely already said too much. Moral of the story, if you’re in an interrogation room, say nothing other than ‘I want a lawyer’.
@@uspockdad6429 It would be dumb if you yourself didn't already know the answer. And if the cops lie on these questions guess what now they gave you a perfect reason why not to cooperate! And yes above all always ask for a lawyer.
@@uspockdad6429 not everywhere. in the US they can. It is actually an offense for them to lie during an interrogation in the UK. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 makes it illegal for the police to mislead a suspect in order to make them believe that the police have evidence which they do not or that the evidence they have is stronger than it is, or that there is a possibility of leniency (for example in return for ‘cooperation’) where none exists.
_Never_ submit to a polygraph. They are merely tools of manipulation by law enforcement. _Never_ talk to the police if there's any chance you could be a suspect of a crime, except for identifying yourself. (Most states require ID if you are the object of an investigation where there is a reasonable suspicion of an articulate-able crime, including all traffic stops.) If not under arrest or being detained, _never_ go to the police station and don't talk to the police. If arrested or detained, say _nothing_ except to assert your 5th amendment rights and to demand a lawyer. Don't do crime.
Yea they could just lie about the polygraph anyway. There was an interrogation where they told the person they could use infrared radar to see how many people were inside her house during a crime and where they were lol.
She was afraid and scared of him, even other people who knew them said she was afraid of him and he had assaulted her before. There even was a police report on it. And once again as in many of these cases, the killer blames the victim «She attacked me first. I just defended myself and accidentally killed her» Riiiight….😒 I’m so tired. Please be safe out there everyone🙏🏾
@@adamrandall5163 I don't disagree that it's the same logic but I think he has a point too. It's kinda weird to bring it up in a video nothing to do with the war.
I don't understand how him saying as far as he knows the dogs are still in the apartment is a slip up, he didn't say he knew anything. Even coming back later and mentioning other people that she stayed isn't that suspect because it could just be things he remembered. To me the red flag was when he came back he suddenly had a story about hitting her, that he didn't have before.
Detectives hadn't told him whether or not the dogs were still in the house, so him automatically assuming they are in the house is mildly implicating. Perhaps an innocent person would ask "wait, are her dogs still home?" Or something to that effect

He said "she would never abandon her dogs" Who said anything about the dogs being left alone? At this point his cover is that he doesn't know anything about it right? If he were truly innocent, he wouldn't know anything about the dogs - period, abandoned or not. Def a slip up.
@@shawnmaria9064 it was when the detective suggested that "..maybe she just left?" he responded "No, she wouldn't leave without dogs and stuff". That's very telling.
At 0:16, there's a large frog or toad leaning over the porch "roof," head down first. I had to zoom in to get a good look at it. It's an odd place for a toad. It could be a rubber toad toy, I suppose. The toad is to the right of the porch steps, on the roof.

Top rules dealing with any police investigation 1. Always ask for a lawyer 2. Never talk without a lawyer present 3. NEVER give volentary interviews 4.If you are not under arrest, Walk out.
I dunno, someone who immediately wants a lawyer isn’t going to incriminate themselves in the interrogation but will definitely put a target on their own back. They’ll think you’re hiding something and dig into your story twice as hard.
Please tell these Einsteins... the second u won't answer questions you become my only suspect n if it was your wife n u are unwilling to aid investigation to help find her, then u are no longer a suspect, u killed her infact.. plus the fact she already formally reported physical assault by u..
I know it's just youtube, but that was a pretty thoughtless choice of words considering how he chose to try and hide her body. I mean no offence, but was that intentional, or just ironically cruel by accident? You are right though, I think saying goes "That's a rookie mistake, you hate to see it".
Sounds to me like he presumed other males in her life were getting some booty, except for him, and his jealousy is what led to this awful tragedy. That's a whole other level of evil to burn one's body after the fact, rather than just try and bury it somewhere to hide it; perhaps he was trying to get rid of his DNA.

As soon as bro said “she wouldn’t leave without her dogs” I instantly thought “how do you know if she did or did not leave with her dogs?” Just had to let the world know I’m happy I caught that before the narrator mentions it
Goes to see if she ever came home. Knocks on door. Dogs bark. This wouldn't be a hard thing to determine without entering the home. Dogs get especially anxious when their routine is disrupted. Hell, he could have heard the dogs bark from next door.
@@michaelbrooks7859but how did he know that she didn’t in fact run away and take the dogs with her? If he seriously didn’t know what happened to her then he wouldn’t have known if the dogs were still at home or if she / who abducted her took the dogs
The first time you tell your side of the story, should be in court. As soon as they want you to tell them what happened, your first words should be "I want a lawyer".
Police want convictions, not justice. Never, ever talk to police without a lawyer present, regardless of whether you're guilty or innocent -- anything you say can and will be used against you. Whether it makes you look suspicious or not isn't something you can be arrested for; it's entirely in your best interest to have legal counsel present.
nobody calls it a lie detector test, its very well understood they are not actual lie detectors, its just monitoring a persons subconscious physical reactions when they answer questions... which *can* betray when a suspect is lying
I think the ubiquity of videos like this on YT has taught a lot of people to always ask for a lawyer. But not everyone is as familiar with true crime, investigations, etc. type content like us. They probably don't really know better.
I think he probably did not intend to strike her so hard that he killed her, and I think he probably regretted what happened, and I suspect on some deep psychological level he probably wanted to be caught and prosecuted.
Its crazy how he decided to go to the cops in the first place. As an update: this man has passed away in prison (rightfully so). How much of a monster are you that you commit such an act and then try playing around with the authorities
Yeah except it probably really COULD have been an accident. It sounds like they had had arguments before that could have gotten physical and while it isn't excusable to be in a physical fight with your partner, they had probably hit each other before and nothing happened. This one particular time, because she fell and hit her head from his hit, that's what caused a seemingly freak accident where she died. It's still his fault, but it would be a crime of passion/outrage/anger rather than a preplanned, sadistic murder.
Yeah but u would probably do the same under pressure of getting caught. Close friends of victims are mostly likely police’s prime suspects of any situation
I would never do something like this, but I have been arrested for other things. My dad told me when I was 15, 'Don't say anything but 'I don't know and it wasn't me.' Lol.
@@Emily-rd5ki Yes but it's up to them to establish probable cause. A hunch is not enough. For you to provide any bits of info, even if seemingly trivial, gives them an opportunity to expand on it whether in a legitimate way or not.
Or, he just said in general that she would never leave her dogs behind. Since she was still missing, he could state such a general fact without literally meaning that he knew her dogs were at home without her. This could b seen two different ways.
@@PistolP33 Yeah, I don't think it's even remotely the "smoking gun" that people think it is. I doubt in a million years they could ever convict him on that without his confession.

He didn’t say that the dogs were in the apartment stilll . 4:14 so whatever you saying makes no sense . If he went to visit her then OBVIOUSLY he would know that her dogs are there . I would say I assume her dogs are still there , knowing she has family who could’ve went to her house . During all this police stuff to find out what happened to her .
It is a mistake. He reportedly visited her 2 nights before anyone reported her missing. The officer asks, in regards to her being gone, "is it possible she just left?" And he responds, "not without taking her dogs". Implying that he knows the dogs were there WHEN she went missing. Not 2 nights prior when he visited her.
@@jetsrule07748exactly, they asked if maybe she left, and his response indicated that he knew for a fact that whatever happened to her, the dogs were still in the house. He didn’t make it seem like an assumption when he said it he said it was confidence. Even though he saw her a whole two days before so he shouldn’t have been able to speak with that much confidence about someone that he hadn’t even seen in two days.now if he would’ve said “ if the dogs are gone then yes she probably did leave but if the dogs are still there when she was found, I highly doubt it” that would’ve been a completely different story. Also this dude is guilty of what he did so you must always remember that his interaction is directly correlated to his position of guilt.
11:00 remember, police are allowed to lie about things like they have forensic evidence that link him to her, that he failed the polygraph when in fact he passed, that they know he did it...etc. When a cop says "you failed the polygraph" doesn't mean you did.
Say what you want about polygraphs but when they asked him was he responsible for her death and he said no but nodded his head yes. I don't believe body language is any more important or absolute than a polygraph but both are highly valuable tools cops can use to get people to confess. This guy is disgusting

Great video about really horrible murder. It is hard to watch, but I think people should know it. Music is great, by the way, can you, please, tell the name of the track?
Why are people saying mentioning the dog isn't a slip up? If when he said he last saw her really was the last time he saw her, he would have no way of knowing the status of the dogs. He sounded pretty confident that her dogs and things were still in the house, that's why it immediately raised a red flag with the detective.
He could have visited her home to check if she was there and heard them bark or walk around inside. It's not an immediate giveaway if you consider such a very simple aspect.
@@Managable_MayhemBut then that would raise suspicions of why he omitted that he had checked up on her house. He stated the last time he saw her was two days ago and him trying to call the day before. He never mentioned going to check on her which he absolutely would have had he actually done so and been innocent. Either way that knowledge of her dogs being home is suspicious.
@@brianjc720 If I'm not wrong the words 'checking on her' fell at some point in the interview, hence why I expected them to know he went there. Or at least clarify since, if he went there it does NOT nullify his statement of when he saw her last. If he went there and she wasn't there, then he DID infact see her last when he was with her 2 days ago.
@Managable_Mayhem He never went back to where she lived after he left 2 days before her disappearance (he did but thats not the story he gave them), only called. So he would have 0 way of knowing if her dogs were there or not. Him making a statement in which he knew for sure the dogs were still there is incredibly suspicious
He could have swung by and checked on the house after she went missing, which is likely what he's trying to portray since he's being Mr. Private Investigator. When did he say he hadn't been to the house?
How is the thing about the dogs revealing anything? If he knows she'd not leave without her dogs, then if she's missing the dogs could well be at her house still if her purse and wallet were still there too... That's not revealing any information... Clickbait title. He's not even confirming it. He says "I'd imagine so".
This video showcases the intricate process of detective work and psychological analysis involved in solving a mysterious disappearance. It's fascinating to witness how investigators scrutinize every detail, from the demeanor of the interviewee to the inconsistencies in their stories, to piece together what truly happened. The gradual unraveling of Jay Roth's facade, from a concerned friend to a prime suspect, is both chilling and engrossing. The video sheds light on the complexities of human behavior and the relentless pursuit of justice, making it an absorbing watch for true crime enthusiasts and anyone interested in the workings of law enforcement.
He’s one of those guys that buys seven of the same exact shirt to simplify things, same with pants and shoes, probably has only one bowl, plate, glass…etc. to avoid doing dishes.
As far as pants go. I only have the same brand of jeans. Shirts, I have several. I used to have more variety, but at this time in my life, I only want to clean clothes that I can toss in the washer all at once. Makes my life much simpler.
Having one set of Tupperware actually helps in doing dishes lol. That’s what i did with my roommates, everybody got one bowl, plate, spoon and fork. Made it so that the sink wasn’t filled with dishes because they couldn’t clean up after themselves
Holy. He literally did the detectives job for them. The convoluted story and sketchy demeanour when interrogated gave him away. He came in twice on his own accord and agreed to a polygraph before he even thought about calling a lawyer.
It's scary how many people would get away with it if they didn't talk to the cops.
This one got just too chatty for his own good😊
Usually guilty suspects fall into 2 categories. Those who don't want to talk to the cops at all, and those who go out of their way to try to talk to them excessively.
Can you imagine 🤣
Talk to the cops as little as possible, anything you say will be held against you. They can legally lie to you, but you can't lie to them.
Or the press 😂 idk what goes through their heads rbh
He just couldn't resist walking on the edge, could he? Kept right on marching into that cop shop with helpful "tips".
Him saying she had lots of weirdos over , he was one of them
It's easy to get away with what this society considers crime.
Mental issues??
He didn't go to the cops with the intent on giving them tips. That was just his excuse to try and figure out how close they were to figuring out it was him. He obviously had immense guilt and the anxiety and suspense was too much

An innocent person would have jumped out of the poly graph testing chair so fast and say "what do you mean death, i thought she was only missing??"
Standard question in missing persons case
Indeed.
imagine how an innocent person would react, esp w underlying factors like anxiety disorder, tachycardia, hell even if they drink caffeine or smoke nicotine within a couple hrs? their heart rate isn’t stable, hearing a question like that could even cause anxiety in someone who fits none of the categories i mentioned, it’s already gotta be nerve racking being in an interrogation then to be questioned like that, it’s insane they still use them when they’re not accurate. someone w anti social personality or psychopathy can easily beat them as they don’t feel nervousness the same way.
An unrealistic person, the possibility of death is one of the reasons you call the police when someone goes missing in the first place
wrong. an innocent man would have been so very intimidated that he would be in despare and not real bright thinking. And I bet you too. It is so easy to conclude in hind sight and we cannot imagine the pressure one must feel, especially if you are not too bright of mind, when being accused of murder.
Note to all violent criminals, please don’t ask for an attorney and never turn down a polygraph exam ‼️

Polygraph Tests are Pseudo Science at best and are not admissible in a court of law
Hahaha yes

He probably came back to the police department the second time because he knew he might have “messed up” and he thought by coming back and suggesting possible theories it would keep the focus off him.
Boom
Foolproof plan 😂
His ease in lying on so many occasions and even more so his absolute confidence in his own persuasive abilities when he asked to be interrogated again indicate that perhaps this violent crime was not the first in his life.
Your right thats good logic you used
Narrator: in all of history, that plan has never worked.
I love how these supposedly "Caring" people who "didn't mean to hurt em" never think to get them to a hospital? He'd get an assault and battery charge but she could have survived a head injury.
I'm not sure, she'd likely file for attempted murder. I wouldn't blame her
It’s probably not the true story of what happened. Even he were positive she was dead, there’s no way he would have been able to burn her body if he really loved her. That’s insane
I understand that. but if he really dident care at all, he would not have gone to the police station. he would have ran. but hes too old to run. and too remorseful to not tell anyone.

A brazillian dude was arrested a couple of weeks ago for doing something like this...
He tried to kill his parents, but his mom survived, and when a neighbor came to tell him that his dad was murdered and his mom was in the hospital, he let it slip: "but didn't my mom die as well?" The neighbor suspected, informed that to police, and he became the first suspect. a week later he confessed.

Not uncommon that the guilty suspect will do things like go to the cops as the concerned person or even do news interview, in an attempt to paint themselves in a better light initially and throw the attention off themselves.
The problem is mistakes are usually made during the lying.
guilty or not, being under investigation for murder would stress anybody tf out.
Except for sociopaths who feel they are smarter than anyone else. They would get invigorated like playing a game.
The actual data from the machine is just a small part of the full polygraph test. The rest is just the interviewer’s intuition.

For those confused about the comment with the dogs being suspicious, it’s suspicious because right before he says that, the cop had asked if she had just run away. His response for her having not run away, is that she wouldn’t have run away without her dogs. He supposedly hasn’t been at her house after the disappearance, so how would he know that her dogs were still in the home? That’s something he shouldn’t have been able to know.
Edit: for the people saying that you knew already, these were for the few comments I saw who were confused about why it was suspicious. If you already knew, good for you lol. This comment wasn’t for you 😭💔
For some reason it took me multiple times to think through it, but yeah it's the combination of "did she leave" and "no she wouldn't without her dogs". Hes not supposed to know where she is so she could have left with them, but he seems pretty sure she didn't, which means he doesn't think she left, which means maybe he knows where she is. It's suspicious at least.
no one with a piece of a brain should be confused by this. especially when he says this in the video.
Yes i ts explained about 4:20
thank you!
What if he knows that she wouldn't leave her dogs because she told him in the past that she'd never leave her dogs?
Never take a polygraph. It can do nothing to help you and if it gives a false positive it can hurt you. If they want you to take one then passing won’t make them rule you out as innocent. They will still consider you a suspect regardless. It really can never help. If they’re even asking you to do it you need a lawyer. Don’t let them tell you “we’re having everyone do it” because they’re not.
^this is fact.
They're not admissible in court tho. They can only use the statements during the questioning.
If the police are even talking to you you need a lawyer
And never do road side sobriety tests. It is the same quackery
Do they use the fact that you refused to take one against you though?

Best time to ask for a lawyer is if you’re innocent.
It actually can't be used in court. It's a waste of time rather you're innocent or not.
It's amazing how many people dont ask for legal council when being questioned about a suspicious death.
Exactly what I said. Never talk to the police. Guilty or not.
How do you know? There wouldn't be a crime to make a doc about if the person asked for a lawyer b/c most lawyers would tell you to have no contact with the police except through me. In other words we don't get to see all the crime interrogations where people lawyered up immediately.

“Your questions seem less like you are using me as a source to help you find her and more like you suspect me. I with love to keep helping you, but you’re on the wrong track and I have no choice but to invoke my right to an attorney and to remain silent.”
That’s what I would do if I were innocent and they wanted me to take a polygraph.
Well said!
You’re more gracious than I am. Most any cop will get from me, even under the best circumstances would be, “I don’t answer questions or consent to any searches, seizures, tests, or conversations. Am I being detained?”
@@BouillaBased I'm with you. And I was with you when the story I'm about to tell happened. I do not trust the police. I won't talk to the police.
About a year or so ago, I was a witness to a murder. I know I was innocent. I called 911. The next day I sat down with police and relayed all the facts as I recalled them.
On the way to meet the detective, I was thinking "I don't talk to police" but I did it anyway. I didn't like seeing the murder. I didn't want to be a part of it, but I knew the guy had to be caught.
FAQ: I saw on the news that they caught the guy about 3 days later. I was never contacted again after my initial statement. I never called the detectives to do any curiosity follow-up.
I'd say not to even say that as it could perhaps infer you're cognizant of some guilt levying on your conscience.
Simply refuse and invoke your right to remain silence. Let your attorney handle the rest.
"Oh, no thank you. I appreciate you asking. I would like to now go forward to invoke my right to remain silent."

If I did not commit a murder, but did a polygraph test, I would fail with flying colours. It’s the natural way I am. Even if I have not done something, if I’m questioned and I think the person asking the question thinks I did it, my blood pressure will go up and my pulse will shoot to the sky. So for some people, like me, polygraphs won’t work.
If you go up to me and say “did you kill her”. Even though I didn’t, just asking me that question, will make my vital signs go sky high. And the polygraph would say I’m guilty.
Same
Probably not actually because it's measured against your base vitals. They'll start with simple questions, if you're already anxious it'll pick up so when they ask the harder questions it wont really be raised if you're innocent. By the time you get to those questions, the first one, they'll have an even enough baseline to gauge and slight differences won't really count. It's a factor of a lot of things used, that's why its ultimately inadmissable. It can lead detectives towards knowing more of what they may need to do to interrogate and solve the case, but it won't solve it alone in any way.
I get severe anxiety over nothing sometimes! I would fail, too.
I totally agree with you mate
I have always thought that would happen to me too: If.people think I did something I didn't I get extremely anxious and I think I don't act normal. I try to always do the right thing, and someone thinking the opposite of me is profoundly upsetting. I think my blood pressure would go sky high.
"Killer-says-what"
"What?"
"Boys we got him!"
I find it interesting how every time he said "no" during the polygraph test, he nodded his head a little bit. A tiny glimpse into the mind's subconscious desire to tell the truth, even when you know it'll ruin you to do so.

Polygraphs are bullshit. The funny part is I really thought they were legit when I was a kid.
Polygraphs work pretty well when used correctly. Your nervosity level will be registered and is 'subtracted' from the results.
The difference in your body reactions when lying and when telling the truth is then what counts.
Also there are some countermeasures to avoid you cheating.
I estimate that a good polygrapher can achieve a success quote above 95%.
Being a completely unemotional psychopath is your only chance to trick the polygraph.

@@rowredround7206 well of course I don't have evidence but having been a 911 operator working in police departments for nearly 20 years it's a very educated conclusion to come to.

Totally, he went there first time just a day after Linda's official disapearance, they had no body, he commited the crime somewhere else and burned her. Without him telling anything he might even had got away with it. He thought he had to overexplain his "innocence" to not be suspicious to Police but nobody thought he was suspicious until he gave on himself with details. He might as well just stayed simple with what he knew and remained looking "worried" about her. He didnt know where to stop talking, he even went there again...i mean they closed the case just a week after her dissapearence and they had to do practically nothing because he told on himself and then confessed. He wanted to be caught.

If you ever hear Biden tell stories about what someone told him once upon a time, there’s another cue.

Oh, and if they ever answer a question with an answer to a completely different question that nobody asked, they’re trying to avoid perjuring themselves while also appearing to cooperate.

The "It was just a mistake. It happens to all of us. It was just a freak thing, I know" for such a heinous crime is such a simple yet effective strategy. It's surprising how often criminals are willing to give up information when they're being told "we all fuck up sometimes." 11:14
Things happen. Its thier own fault really.
Yes,this tactic,reminds me of the Chris Watts interrogation as well.
It is amazing that these killers actually think hitting a woman is "messing up a little" and hitting her so hard that she dies is " we all fuck up sometimes" Something went seriously wrong with them a long time ago.
@@generalnikkerson I mean yes and no. You don't actually know the woman who died, you have zero idea how she was. IF what he was saying was true, that she was yelling at him and hit/hitting him then yeah, lots of uneducated country people/couples hit each other. It's sad but true. So maybe they had been in fights before and nothing came of it, but maybe just this once because she hit her head when she fell, it caused a freak accident that otherwise would never have happened had she not hit her head in that particular way.
The way this guy absolutely weeps when he finally admits to what ended up happening, this DOES sound like an accident. After that, panic could easily set in. The gravity of the situation would be absolutely TERRIFYING, it would be like black hole appeared and was weighing your entire soul down into the dirt or like you're falling in an endless abyss. That fear, terror, guilt, pain, sorrow, and panic would be more than most people could bear. That is to say, look at soldiers in war. Often times people will kill their first enemy soldier or hell they could even be seasoned fighters and something in them snaps. The realization that you have ended another person's life is one of the heaviest if not the heaviest things you can ever feel in the world.
In this way, it's entirely probable that he didn't mean to kill her. He was likely acting out in anger just as he claims she was when she allegedly hit him and yelled at him. That would explain the panic and the reason he went and burned her body to hide the evidence because he probably literally had a mental break and freaked the fuck out as we all would in that situation. What, you're gonna say your first impulse is to call 911 after you basically realize your actions killed your girlfriend? Hell no. You're probably going to lose your mind, go bonkers and not know WHAT to do. So yeah, if I were standing in his shoes, I'd be crying my ass off in front of a detective too and probably would have tried to make it all go away to end the nightmare.
But point is, as far as we know, it wasn't his hit that killed her, it was him hitting her such that she then fell and knocked her head on something hard. It was the weight of her own body falling from being hit by him smacking against something else hard that likely caused internal trauma to her brain.
I don't think this man is/was a monster. I think he was likely a man with problems, serious problems sure, but not a man who was a serial killer or intentionally malevolent. Likely had anger management issues and some control issues. It's sad.

The only correct thing to do for your own self preservation is to ask for a lawyer. But if you’re being asked to do a polygraph, you’ve likely already said too much.

@@uspockdad6429 not everywhere. in the US they can. It is actually an offense for them to lie during an interrogation in the UK.

_Never_ submit to a polygraph. They are merely tools of manipulation by law enforcement.
_Never_ talk to the police if there's any chance you could be a suspect of a crime, except for identifying yourself. (Most states require ID if you are the object of an investigation where there is a reasonable suspicion of an articulate-able crime, including all traffic stops.)
If not under arrest or being detained, _never_ go to the police station and don't talk to the police.
If arrested or detained, say _nothing_ except to assert your 5th amendment rights and to demand a lawyer.

@@TheGreyRider-p5z i meant the inner urge to confess his crime, thinking that he wouldn't be caught
This man has got only one shirt 😂

It's to make it easier to pick up the proper shirt to do anything and go anywhere.
Maybe he has 20 of the same shirt that he bought on sale at the local ChinaMart.

At 0:16, there's a large frog or toad leaning over the porch "roof," head down first. I had to zoom in to get a good look at it. It's an odd place for a toad. It could be a rubber toad toy, I suppose. The toad is to the right of the porch steps, on the roof.
What the hell is that thing? (And amazing you noticed it!)
Now I can’t unsee this frog. Maybe it leads a secret spiderfrog life, who knows.

I hope her dogs were ok after this. Poor things 😢
Something tells me that’s not actually what happened, I feel like he has a dark and violent side that wasn’t let out.
I think you're right. Maybe she tried to defend herself against sexual assault and then he killed her ...
The photo taken of the floor in front of the couch looks like there is an item used to fasten women's clothing lying on the carpet. Who knows how many times he got away with things like that by age 65?
I think so too, I mean, he burned her. So all evidence of rape and what not is gone.
I hope the poor puppies were adopted by loving people. This poor lady would be able to rest easy knowing her beloved pets were safe. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs

Top rules dealing with any police investigation
1. Always ask for a lawyer
2. Never talk without a lawyer present
3. NEVER give volentary interviews
4.If you are not under arrest, Walk out.
5. DONT AGREE TO A LIE DETECTOR TEST
"volentary"
I dunno, someone who immediately wants a lawyer isn’t going to incriminate themselves in the interrogation but will definitely put a target on their own back. They’ll think you’re hiding something and dig into your story twice as hard.
Please tell these Einsteins... the second u won't answer questions you become my only suspect n if it was your wife n u are unwilling to aid investigation to help find her, then u are no longer a suspect, u killed her infact.. plus the fact she already formally reported physical assault by u..
@@Justintouch-nt9cu never be a juror with those leaps in logic.
Bro voluntarily COOKED himself 😅
I know it's just youtube, but that was a pretty thoughtless choice of words considering how he chose to try and hide her body.
I mean no offence, but was that intentional, or just ironically cruel by accident?
You are right though, I think saying goes "That's a rookie mistake, you hate to see it".

We appreciate how well you articulate your insights. Keep working hard.
Thanks brother appreciate the support
Sounds to me like he presumed other males in her life were getting some booty, except for him, and his jealousy is what led to this awful tragedy. That's a whole other level of evil to burn one's body after the fact, rather than just try and bury it somewhere to hide it; perhaps he was trying to get rid of his DNA. Anyhow, glad he is no longer with us & RIP to poor Linda.
Thanks for the upload -- it has been a hot minute -- and hope you're having a great start to your weekend!
Really? A whole other level of evil? You are aware of the people that tap dead people? Cut off heads to keep for nefarious purposes?
he burned her body because he sa'ed her.

I was waiting for the next scene from the interrogation where the detective was sitting in his lap. 🤣

😂😂😂
As soon as bro said “she wouldn’t leave without her dogs” I instantly thought “how do you know if she did or did not leave with her dogs?” Just had to let the world know I’m happy I caught that before the narrator mentions it
Or perhaps it's in the title of the video?
Goes to see if she ever came home. Knocks on door. Dogs bark. This wouldn't be a hard thing to determine without entering the home. Dogs get especially anxious when their routine is disrupted. Hell, he could have heard the dogs bark from next door.
Ummm, because he's known her for a while and developed a relationship to where he comfortably made that Generalization.
@@abacab87 Oh lord.
@@michaelbrooks7859but how did he know that she didn’t in fact run away and take the dogs with her? If he seriously didn’t know what happened to her then he wouldn’t have known if the dogs were still at home or if she / who abducted her took the dogs
The first time you tell your side of the story, should be in court. As soon as they want you to tell them what happened, your first words should be "I want a lawyer".
“Hang tight”
More like “welcome to destination F*CKED”
Okay this is my new favorite phrase
Police want convictions, not justice. Never, ever talk to police without a lawyer present, regardless of whether you're guilty or innocent -- anything you say can and will be used against you. Whether it makes you look suspicious or not isn't something you can be arrested for; it's entirely in your best interest to have legal counsel present.
Even though he's guilty he needed to ask for a lawyer before bogus "lie detector tests"
nobody calls it a lie detector test, its very well understood they are not actual lie detectors, its just monitoring a persons subconscious physical reactions when they answer questions... which *can* betray when a suspect is lying
.. emphasis on bogus!
@@winfredwitherspooncan be inaccurate
Well that's his dumb fault now isn't it? Lol
When the "polygraph expert" said "dial him in" I knew it was all bs lol
Guilty as hell but how do you not lawyer up?
I think the ubiquity of videos like this on YT has taught a lot of people to always ask for a lawyer. But not everyone is as familiar with true crime, investigations, etc. type content like us. They probably don't really know better.
Most criminals are not very smart.
I think he probably did not intend to strike her so hard that he killed her, and I think he probably regretted what happened, and I suspect on some deep psychological level he probably wanted to be caught and prosecuted.
Because he not smart as you are?
He's feigning innocence. Why would an innocent person, who has Not been charged, ask for a lawyer?
Its crazy how he decided to go to the cops in the first place.
As an update: this man has passed away in prison (rightfully so).
How much of a monster are you that you commit such an act and then try playing around with the authorities
Cops are so good, “I know you’re a good guy, I know it was an accident!”
Yeah except it probably really COULD have been an accident. It sounds like they had had arguments before that could have gotten physical and while it isn't excusable to be in a physical fight with your partner, they had probably hit each other before and nothing happened. This one particular time, because she fell and hit her head from his hit, that's what caused a seemingly freak accident where she died. It's still his fault, but it would be a crime of passion/outrage/anger rather than a preplanned, sadistic murder.
This guy really jettisoned himself into jail 😂
First rule: Say as little as possible. Volunteer no information period.
Yeah but u would probably do the same under pressure of getting caught. Close friends of victims are mostly likely police’s prime suspects of any situation
I would never do something like this, but I have been arrested for other things. My dad told me when I was 15, 'Don't say anything but 'I don't know and it wasn't me.' Lol.
First rule: Don't hit women.
Second rule: Don't kill women.
@@Emily-rd5ki Yes but it's up to them to establish probable cause. A hunch is not enough. For you to provide any bits of info, even if seemingly trivial, gives them an opportunity to expand on it whether in a legitimate way or not.
First , DO NO HARM
He nods yes and says "'no." Lol😂
"The first 24 hours are crucial." But if you call to report someone who's been missing less than 48 hours, they tell you to pound sand.
Exactly!
THIS. Like can't they decide?
Yup
Jup, that is what I thought.
Yeah that’s just a myth on tv. It’s not actually true at all
"She wouldnt have left her dogs behind"
"How do you know she left her dogs?"
"Fuzzy called me wondering where she was." Lol
Or, he just said in general that she would never leave her dogs behind. Since she was still missing, he could state such a general fact without literally meaning that he knew her dogs were at home without her. This could b seen two different ways.
@@PistolP33 Yeah, I don't think it's even remotely the "smoking gun" that people think it is. I doubt in a million years they could ever convict him on that without his confession.
@PistolP33 he said "no she wouldn't leave without her dogs" meaning he knew the dogs were at home.. if he would've said "if her dogs are still home then no. She didn't run away" him knowing her dogs were home meant he was there after she was missing. Meaning he lied
The sheer number of otherwise healthy people that die immediately after falling once and bumping their head is shocking. The overall statistics must be staggering. 🙄 😒
Right. And if she had bumped her head, why didn't he call 911? And possibly save her life.
@@pollypockets508 actually lost it when detective said "ill get you some water" ... he didnt get Linda some water , like you said he could have called 911. Meant to do it imo.

Completely unrelated and unimportant, but I love that he’s wearing the same outfit during both interviews lol
3:33 is just before he "accidentally says something only the killer would know"
My ninja
ur my hero
Should be top comment lol
He didn’t say that the dogs were in the apartment stilll . 4:14 so whatever you saying makes no sense . If he went to visit her then OBVIOUSLY he would know that her dogs are there . I would say I assume her dogs are still there , knowing she has family who could’ve went to her house . During all this police stuff to find out what happened to her .
Ikr, I was rubbing my head like how is this even a mistake 😅
It is a mistake. He reportedly visited her 2 nights before anyone reported her missing. The officer asks, in regards to her being gone, "is it possible she just left?" And he responds, "not without taking her dogs". Implying that he knows the dogs were there WHEN she went missing. Not 2 nights prior when he visited her.
@@jetsrule07748exactly, they asked if maybe she left, and his response indicated that he knew for a fact that whatever happened to her, the dogs were still in the house. He didn’t make it seem like an assumption when he said it he said it was confidence. Even though he saw her a whole two days before so he shouldn’t have been able to speak with that much confidence about someone that he hadn’t even seen in two days.now if he would’ve said “ if the dogs are gone then yes she probably did leave but if the dogs are still there when she was found, I highly doubt it” that would’ve been a completely different story. Also this dude is guilty of what he did so you must always remember that his interaction is directly correlated to his position of guilt.
11:00 remember, police are allowed to lie about things like they have forensic evidence that link him to her, that he failed the polygraph when in fact he passed, that they know he did it...etc. When a cop says "you failed the polygraph" doesn't mean you did.
“The truth will set you free” is a real thing, if you lie you only will make your situation worse.
Say what you want about polygraphs but when they asked him was he responsible for her death and he said no but nodded his head yes.
I don't believe body language is any more important or absolute than a polygraph but both are highly valuable tools cops can use to get people to confess.
This guy is disgusting
These interrogators do such great work . Probably my favorite part of these types of videos :
It's interesting how they can talk so smoothly while processing someone else's body language and responding accordingly
“:” sayin ass
These men act like viciously murdering & disposing of someone is a freak accident! 😢😡
Key word "acting". You realize they don't actually believe this, right?
i think they use those words to keep a good relationship with the killer so they open up about what they did
lol, you don't think he was trying to coax a confession there? How simple are you?
4:10 is that not just a logical assumption? where the hell else would the dogs be 😭
I mean I’m glad the detective picked up on it but I wouldn’t have given that specific statement a second thought
@@not.skywalkerwith her. How would he know she didnt take the dog with her?

I learned a long time ago. You can't help someone who doesn't want your help. The best thing to do is leave them alone and move on. You are not going to be their hero if they don't want the help.

Why are people saying mentioning the dog isn't a slip up? If when he said he last saw her really was the last time he saw her, he would have no way of knowing the status of the dogs. He sounded pretty confident that her dogs and things were still in the house, that's why it immediately raised a red flag with the detective.
He could have visited her home to check if she was there and heard them bark or walk around inside.
It's not an immediate giveaway if you consider such a very simple aspect.
@@Managable_MayhemBut then that would raise suspicions of why he omitted that he had checked up on her house. He stated the last time he saw her was two days ago and him trying to call the day before. He never mentioned going to check on her which he absolutely would have had he actually done so and been innocent. Either way that knowledge of her dogs being home is suspicious.
@@brianjc720 If I'm not wrong the words 'checking on her' fell at some point in the interview, hence why I expected them to know he went there. Or at least clarify since, if he went there it does NOT nullify his statement of when he saw her last. If he went there and she wasn't there, then he DID infact see her last when he was with her 2 days ago.
@Managable_Mayhem He never went back to where she lived after he left 2 days before her disappearance (he did but thats not the story he gave them), only called. So he would have 0 way of knowing if her dogs were there or not. Him making a statement in which he knew for sure the dogs were still there is incredibly suspicious
He could have swung by and checked on the house after she went missing, which is likely what he's trying to portray since he's being Mr. Private Investigator. When did he say he hadn't been to the house?
How is the thing about the dogs revealing anything? If he knows she'd not leave without her dogs, then if she's missing the dogs could well be at her house still if her purse and wallet were still there too... That's not revealing any information... Clickbait title. He's not even confirming it. He says "I'd imagine so".
How could he have access to the information that purse, cash and dogs were still at the house?
This video showcases the intricate process of detective work and psychological analysis involved in solving a mysterious disappearance. It's fascinating to witness how investigators scrutinize every detail, from the demeanor of the interviewee to the inconsistencies in their stories, to piece together what truly happened. The gradual unraveling of Jay Roth's facade, from a concerned friend to a prime suspect, is both chilling and engrossing. The video sheds light on the complexities of human behavior and the relentless pursuit of justice, making it an absorbing watch for true crime enthusiasts and anyone interested in the workings of law enforcement.
Barney Fife could have figured this one out. Jay gave it to him on a silver platter. In fact, I think Jay was the Barney Fife in this one!
