I will be forever confused about this case. What happened to blood spatter experts finding shooters spatter on his clothes? What about gun powder residue on his hands. Did he wash his hands strip his clothing put into laundry and put on new set of clothes? And what in the world is a cop doing asking google how to stage a suicide. Jesus christ, if anyone should know its a cop with a 30 year career behind him.Sloppy.
Nikki Battiste is an excellent reporter. She was so low-key and didn't make the show about her. Very professional too!

"You guys arent going to contact her are you?" Thats coming from a seasoned detective? LoL
Yes sir, yes we are and you know it.
This makes me think he is guilty
It makes me think - he is proud to have a mistress ..
Probably more shock of breaking the thin blue line more than a layperson being dumbfounded like it first seemed.
Ppl pm
Yes! Very suspicious comment there.
He started an affair on a church mission trip? That really shows his character.
There’s a reason why they call it The Missionary Position. (Sorry, there’s no way I could resist that one. Clearly they couldn’t resist it either.)
She just loved all those positive affirmations and hugs--how spiritual! Her demeanor also showed a lack of seriousness, almost giggly and shallow.
So common
"Jesus would understand and God will forgive us" - says every Christian who tries to justify every awful thing they do.
Well said
The fact that he's a detective and didn't bother with a burner phone to message his lover shows he was confident his brothers in blue would sweep any inconsistencies under the rug and wrap it up as a suicide. Too bad for him he got investigated by the good cops.
Yeah, I have a feeling his family was used to “handling” things over the years. But it’s gotten a lot harder to get away with such shenanigans.
Oh you bet. My heart goes out to Amy who had just ONE, ONE family member on her side - her younger sister. I am familiar with this type of "man". I am familiar, unfortunately, with this type of "man" connected to a family of power, to a job of power, and who manipulates everyone around them, including, despairingly, the victim's own family members. If she had done ANYTHING in her past, ANYTHING......depression, etc. she would have been in BIG trouble. As it is, they tried to use her "state of mind"........what a tragic case. And those texts of his to his 'whatever she is, made me want to puke with their emotional immaturity. I thank all the good cops, her sister, the prosecutor, those females that did not buy his lies. Many are grateful to see this.
And PS - her own children. My heart breaks for her. That is the toughest for me.....her own kids.
you are spot on right....he had to be counting on little to no investigation; otherwise how could a detective be so stupid....
@@HuskyTheDog2202 *Murdaugh
To think that a wife devotes all of her youth and middle-aged years to a husband she loves, just to be cheated on and murdered so he can relive his youth. Such a disgusting, selfish coward of a man. RIP Amy.
That isn't what a real man is
Was he trying to relive his youth? The woman he had an affair with was a grandmother. Seems more like it was a man who finally got to retire and didn't want to do it with his wife or with less luxury after she took half of their assets and his pension.
@@mortimerbrewster3671agreed.
Happens quite often actually.
Sadly many more people going through similar experience in their own homes. 😢
Props to those detectives who did their due diligence and didn't just take Brian's word for it because he was a cop!
Absolutely. It is like "He was a good Christian" Glad they saw through the Wolf in Sheep's clothing.
His words made absolutely no sense
yeah he thought he would get away with it because he was a cop well loved in the community and by both sides of the fam (still cannot get over that). he gambled and lost. it's what he gets too, because altho we might feel sorry for him for seeing no way out, IF he indeed was that well loved by the community and family (and apparently he was, deceased wife's fam sided with HIM for petes sake!), they would not have let him sink after a divorce where he may have lost the bulk of his assets. he's not a sharp guy. divorce is ALWAYS the option.
As a cop he would know gsr would or would not be present... I don't think he did it
I agree!
Well, he won't have to spend his retirement maintaining the 200 year old farmhouse now.
Problem solved! Lol
Agree

@@breebrown5610
Since already having his hands full by catering for a mistress; no wonder he could not envision himself raising a new dog 😅
Had witnessed how a cheating spouse's attention can - in a wink - be diverted away from basically all interests at his own home. It takes only one strange woman to purposefully move in on and seduce a married man; to completely destroy him, his marriage, and thereby causing him to lose basically everything he and his wife had been working for over their entire lifetime.
Beware of giving in to temptations as such. All of us are tested - repeatedly - over time. Once one had given in, it's as if tied with a strong rope.
Is it just me or do others notice every time a wife dies suspiciously- the hubby ALWAYS has another woman!!
I totally notice
And heeeeeeeere’s MOTIVE!
It's the Chris Watt syndrome, sadly.
yeah so weird
That’s even the case with 50% of all the divorces. Never throw away your old shoes before you got some new or something.
Props to her sister for being the only family member to have her sister’s back❤️
Facts!!!
Facts. I can’t believe her own son said what he said

Right even the kids didn’t have her back😢
Thank you, Anna, for being a voice for your sister. I was sad that no one else in the family stood up for her… including the children she so loved to raise.😔
And why? She was such a a lovely lady and a sweet soul.
He was a disgusting liar.

Thank God for great detectives.

The biggest slap to her face was when her obituary called him her beloved husband.
I saw that too, and it was disgusting! Even if he had been innocent (which he wasn't), he was having an affair and didn't want to be with her anymore. What part of beloved is that?!

This man’s wife “committed suicide” in front of him and he is feeling sorry for himself and tarnishing her name saying “she was so angry with me” like HE is the victim. Disgusting.
What I think is crazy is that her family and people like you think she really committed suicide. when her hair would have the same effect if somebody was shooting at her from a distance.
@@annetteb2432the comment above does not believe the wife committed suicide.
@@annetteb2432Your comprehension is very poor. OP has used inverted commas because they don't believe it was a suicide.
I was married for most of 22 years to a deputy sheriff in CA. A serial cheater. Being a very committed Christian gave me the desire to be a very committed wife. I was cheated on more than I would have ever imagined, leaving me with an STD. It’s been very difficult to forgive myself for my stupidity, but I think I’m almost there. I’m now with a faithful, wonderful man. What a joy/blessing!
Wow! I'm happy for you!
Do not believe it was stupidity that kept you to persevere within that situation. In the end each one of us should be able to live with ourselves - knowing that we did what God had required from us - irrespective of others' behaviour. In the process we grow in many ways, while learning valuable lessons, and being challenged to bear much good fruit - all towards extending His Kingdom.
The question always being to what extent one is willing to lay one's life down - taking up one's cross - as a living sacrifice - not a enslaved to one's own will, but obedient according to our Father's; thus following in Jesus' footsteps.
The road alongside an unfaithful spouse might be longer or shorter - according to God's individual plan for our lives. At any time He does not acquire of us more than what we can handle - with His help, and in due season He provides for an outcome; this towards working all things together for our good.
You where not stupid, you trusted someone who you thought loved you enough that he married you. You are not to blame for your ex husband's actions, that's on him. Glad you're now happy.
If your spouse cheats on you. You have scriptural grounds to get a divorce. That means God is giving you approval to divorce your cheating spouse if you choose to divorce. You would still be a good Christian.
However, my exhusband was unfaithful and I did get a scriptural divorce but I even felt I let God down even though I didn’t. Divorce and cheating is so hard to deal with when you marry a person you want to stay with forever.
So I can understand why you stayed marry longer despite the cheating you were hoping he’d change absolutely you didn’t want to divorce. You’re not stupid. You have a pure heart. I’m so glad you have a faithful husband. I found a faithful husband also our 2nd wedding anniversary is May 24th. I hope the best for your marriage and life. Your ex will reap the consequences if he hasn’t already.
@@truth_hunter
Know divorce and remarriage is currently commonly accepted within Christian circles, yet according to some (like the late David Pawson), it is not Scripturally justifiable. Had looked seriously into this, and tend to agree with him.
That lady Cori was just awful. She’s laughing in the police interview like the situation was a joke. She was married herself and went to another woman’s house to make out with that lady’s husband!! Just gross!! At least go to a hotel or something
And that she got married again after this is baffling. She is such a fraud going on missionary trips to pick up married men.
In the wife's car.
and the fact she sits in court with a cross around her neck.. like a sweet innocent christian.
If you research the literature, many men bring their lovers home to their own bed. Must be a power trip.
@@Mr60minor that is surprising. I'd think the risk of getting caught would be too high. Besides it being so disrespectful of the wife.
Recently read a sign that stated, "Your soulmate is not someone else's spouse." 100%
Wow! 100% true, forever and for everyone! 👍🏆
@jeanettevandiver8934
I love it! One to remember!
Exactly
One of your soulmates can indeed be married to someone else. It doesn't mean either individual should dishonor themselves, their partners or vows they have made.
That's the difference between consciousness and lack of consciousness.
Genius and wonderfully savage.😂
Thank goodness her sister stood up for her when no one else in her family would
I can't imagine anything more heartbreaking than being allegedly murdered by your husband and having your own family testify for him, including your mother and your children. When really what they're doing is supplying more of a motive why he might have shot her.
That betrayal is horrible. I caught my ex texting naked pics with another woman when we were having dinner with my family and my mom started sticking up for him and got mad that I was “ruining dinner” My blood was BOILING and I will never trust her or take her side for anything

Nothing disgusts me more than when a man murders his wife, and her family sides with him despite compelling evidence, including he’s having an affair. Her mother and sister took the stand and said derogatory things about her. Angry people shoot who they’re angry at. The gun shot residue guy is an idiot. Her hair was long but it wasn’t thick. I’ve been a hairstylist for 25 years and that hair piece was much denser than her hair. The coroner reported what he saw, he had no motive to lie. He was having an affair, looking up accidental deaths, and the coroner’s findings didn’t match his story, but they prefer to believe she committed suicide rather than face the truth. How alone that poor woman must have felt surrounded by that toxic, judgmental lot.
I agree. Her hair was not that thick.
I was thinking that too about her hair. I have had a hairdresser lisence many years before deciding on a different direction in my life. Her hair did not seem very dense to me. Glad someone else noticed this!
100% ! So sad.
I thought that about the "hair" too, which is actually a wig, not human hair. From the beginning of the 911 call, he seemed guilty. I also find it disgusting that her family was on the side of POS husband, and the loud sobbing after the verdict was just cringe worthy.
Absolutely. Maybe she shouted because she felt unheard.
He thought killing his wife will make him have a happy ever after with his side piece😂good luck in jail dude.

@cataniamommaitalia87This man murdered his wife in cold blood. If anything, he was the abusive one and turned it against her and turned her family against her.
Abusers do this all the time. And he's a cop. They are more likely to abuse than the average person.
@cataniamommaitalia87 ...and if the husband were to degrade the daughter? Same treatment? Or is he just quick tempered and needs to be prayed over?????
Yep, even her own mother didn’t have her back. Nothing and no one surprises me by their actions in this world. People are selfish, period, “family” or not.
Killed his wife for his lover that left him. Priceless
Ikr??
Right!! 😒
Right lmfao 😂 wonder if he still thinks it was worth it 😂
The thing is that if she wouldn’t have left him he was going to dismiss her for a new acquaintance- in different circumstances. A man that leaves his partner in order to be you, will
eventually do exactly the same thing to you. Be aware
She's trash and only left him because he was under suspicion. She knew he was guilty. She didn't want to incriminate herself.
Not about Cori’s looks. It’s about a lack of character, integrity, and morality.
Which both are devoid.
Definitely not looks that is for sure!

Maybe there was nothing to defend
It's called media. They only protray what they want you to think
Just unbelievable 😒
This makes the verdict suspect. He is more likely innocent if people that knew her best (including her own son) say she was capable of killing herself.

The fact that Amy's mother and siblings stood behind Brian after knowing about the affair and also that there was no stippling around the gunshot is DISGUSTING!
And, if Amy had ANY anger issues, they would have been legit. There is something darkly WRONG in that family.
Her hair acted as a filter and a cheater doesn't make you a killer. I don't think he did it.

@dmreddragon6 You're right. I mean how careless and stupid of him to leave evidence on a computer !!? Surely, he would know that as a detective, they always look at the computer activities.
I've become shocked at how stupid most cops are , that's not a put down but an observation .
😂😂😂
If she had a temper, she would have shot HIM not herself….. temper means your mad AT SOMEONE…. Not yourself
I thought the same thing. I've also heard anger turned inward usually manifests as depression, not a dramatic bloody scene at the dining table. If she had been that enraged, she'd have shot him.
Not if she was using it to enforce control and it went off accidently. None of us know these people but if your own family is not defending you in death that's a huge red flag that others perhaps weren't shown.

Now, he's probably playing the role of the mistress.
He was thinking with the other head
Criminals are always a lot dumber than they think
Yeah, welllll. . . . easy for us on the outside to say. As is so very common among married couples, it's quite possible their bedroom went dead years beforehand, shut down by a wife who simply wouldn't any longer. After suffering through this myself for over 20 years, you cannot imagine how crushing and emasculating it is, both mentally and emotionally. Judging from the testimony of the mother and sister, I'm going to say that's exactly what happened. Some men just ride it all the way out and live with it, get prostate cancer and die before their time. Some men get divorced. And a very few deal with it like Brian did. Certainly not saying I condone it, but I can kinda understand it.
You notice that his mistress wasn't as attractive as the wife was. Doesn't matter in any way. If you're dying of thirst, once you find someone and begin drinking that sweet nectar, it just doesn't matter.
Usual suspects
The husband's story about what happened to cause Amy to take her life is the most ridiculous reason for committing suicide. So NOT believable. 🙄
Her son and mother did agree she had uncontrolled anger issues…I think that’s crucial here, it should not have been overlooked
I feel that somehow the wife found out about her husband having an affair and that is why he shot her. I don't believe that the wife committed suicide over selling their house. He is leaving the part out where the wife somehow found out about his affair and then that is when he shot her.
@debracongram2109 I wonder why

what a wonderful lawyer.. Where do you find a lawyer like her with understanding compassion, emotional intelligence and reasoning these days?
If she was so awful and abusive to him, what I don't get is why she'd shoot herself and not him then. Doesn't add up.
Exactly. He's saying it because it's on his mind. He was abusive and he's projecting.
Of course it doesn't. Then they add so much nonsense into the mix that the jury are confused and tired by the time they need to vote
Exactly... Nobody's shoots themselves in the head when they allegedly have "anger issues" or waits decades till they finally do it. If she had anger issues (which she didn't) and if anger issues led to suicide (which they don't), why wait DECADES until killing oneself? That's quite patient!
Such ridiculous claims! He was projecting his own anger issues onto her. And I'm shocked her mother lied to protect the killer of her daughter. You can see by the long pause before the answer that she was lying when she testified that her daughter had "anger issues". 😠

Ok columbo
As a retired police officer, this was one of the most interesting episodes of 48 Hours I've watched. I will also say I've been retired for 25 years. And a lot has changed in crime scene investigation. It wasn't called that when I attended specialized evidence-collection training. Yes, I have worked suicides. The first red flag to me was the woman having shot herself in the head. I was taught women who use guns to commit suicide don't typically shoot themselves in the head. Or do it someplace in the home where it would make a mess. Don't write this off as being sexist, this class was in the late 70's. I found the testimony of the defense' ballistics expert most interesting. A woman's thick hair blocked gunshot residue. And I agree with his statement the conviction should not be based on GSR. There were other red flags shown and a very meticulous investigation was enough to make the prosecution's case. Nice try on the defense side with the GSR testimony. Had the defendant refused to talk when he was read his rights and the defense pursued his statement of trying to grab the gun more aggressively, he might have gotten away with it. Might have.
Thanks for sharing your insight here. Much appreciated.
I found the GSR test by the defense very deceptive and wouldn’t acknowledge that. Where the gunshot went into the head she didn’t have that much thick hair to absorb all the residue if it was fired at close range. Glad he’s convicted. His appeal will be useless
i don’t care what anyone says, any woman that knowingly enters any kind of affair w a man already in a relationship is just as vile
Just as vile as the man that Cheats on his woman but not vile as the man that cheats on his wife&kills her
I would think the man who is breaking his vows and risking giving STDs to his partner is worse, but then again, men have always been coddled and given the "they can't help it" line.
The same with *any* person that decides to cheat on their spouse or cheat with someone’s spouse
And evidently she has two failed marriages already!

@@arbjful - We're not hearing everything here, and it is slanted against him. What about gsr on her right hand? Does it line up with someone who shot a gun? Her right hand should also have blood splatter on it.
It was said that he held her hand afterwards, let me guess...it was the right hand, so that could excuse certain evidence not lining up (tampering with evidence). Any cop would know instinctively to preserve the evidence scene.
Then there's the damning texts between him and Cora (his new love) the night before.
Him saying “it’s wrong” like that’s going to make forensic evidence wrong. 😂😂😂😂😂
Narcissist trying to lie his way out of his mess!
but the forensic evidence was wrong!

What i didnt hear mentioned is the lack of emotion Brian showed after his childhood love "killed herself?" No tears? Poor Amy.
This is a prime example why investigators, and prosecutors are necessary. They are the eyes, and ears of a grieving family in too much pain to see the truth.
And science doesn’t lie, people do!
The investigation completely missed and the prosecutor from NY wants to make a name for herself.
I think you cant see truth. There is no evidence and the way this guys behaves points to being innocent.
They are the eyes and ears and story of the VICTIM. Not the family.
They are grieving for the murderer, not their deceased loved one. No sympathy for that bunch.
Which truth? There is no evidence.
He had all the motives (wanted out of the long-term marriage, had an affair) whereas how many people decide to k*** themselves in the middle of an argument while making sandwiches! He must have caught her off guard. RIP 🕊️
My major red flag was that sandwich.
The side piece is not attractive at all, whyyyyyyyyy? 😂
I agree with all of you! Yeah I believe she didn’t see it coming.
Actually our friend did it right before Christmas this last year. Everyone was eating and drinking having a good time. She got mad, yelled no one is getting anything this Christmas, went upstairs and shot herself in the head with a 357. They also say it's not common for women to shoot themselves in the head because they care about looks. But anything is possible.
@@SidewaysInTraffic there are witnesses. She didn’t do it in front of everyone. This case is very different. There are internet searches, a mistress, the desire to keep all the money, all the tell tale signs…
Why is no one talking about the text messages between Brian and Cory minutes before the wife died !? They are texting about their future together and how it is not happening fast enough or something like that .
Sickening
If her family heard all that evidence and still didn't stand by their daughter/sister, thats disgusting... Rest in peace Amy. We see you 🙏❤
Her family supported her murderer... Let that sink in..... Family really can be your worst enemy. 😮. Then his sidepiece arrives in court wearing a tie, was that supposed to make her look innocent😅
I'm wondering about Naomi Judd's "suicide."
They should be profoundly ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.
Best comment on here! 🙌🏾✝️🙏🏾
Reminds me of Todd Kendhammer
Dang I missed that part. Now I've gotta skip back and find it 😂
This poor woman. She must’ve felt so alone… even before her death. Her family doesn’t seem like they were supportive. And the man she loved just discarded her. She seemed like she was a sweet woman. Rest up ❤️
I agree
According to the family she had a temper, I mean it must've been that bad for them to back him up.
I found it super interesting that he said "I'm sorry" after he told the dispatcher she's passed away. seems to be an involuntary admission of guilt in the heat of the moment
Good point.
The defense lawyers would argue he meant: I’m sorry… I couldn’t stop it.
I didn't catch that...good save!
I was analyzing his 911 call and statement with cops. He definitely was being deceptive...
Watch Peter Hyatt
Amy had a rotten family … the truth was in their faces and they decided to support the murderer. I’m undecided who was worse; the son, the mother, the sister testifying against Amy and all the rest who sign the letter. The younger sister was the ONLY ONE who really had the intelligence to see clearly what was going on. She is Amy’s angel!
Hmmm I think you've made a very good point and dare I add that this rotten family is pretty much a cult. For instance, RIP Amy but their family pretty much enabled her to have this temper outbursts for years. Like when the other sister testified that she witnessed how nasty Amy talked to his husband, she knew it was wrong yet cringed about it. The cognitive dissonance is real. Then how these people are very perceptive minded people - the whole signing of the letter thing, how her own son believes that she could pick up the gun etc. and no amount of scientific evidence could change their minds. Brian was also part of cult family in which he thought he could get away easily. Kinda scary because this is very subtle to see and breakaway from. I kinda want to know the story behind that one younger sister. She might have a thing or two to say about her own family.
For a detective himself, he sure is stupid to think his deleted text messages wouldn’t be found.
I don’t think he ever thought he would be a suspect.
It sounds like the behaviour of a habitual liar that got away with his lies so often that he didn't even put effort in his concealment anymore.
Or his computer searches
Right!!??
Just get a divorce ffs.
@cataniamommaitalia87 Amen
Don't get married
For real it’s that easy.
@cataniamommaitalia87 You know religion is just made up lol
@@Mr.Willis6388 especially for men nothing in it for them just a moneymaker for women The Young have the right idea now dont do it
The fact that he was telling his new lady that they were going to have a great future together real soon, but wasn't going to divorce his wife (there was no evidence that, at that point, he and his wife were talking divorce), tells the whole story. No way does someone get mad and then grabs a gun and kills themself. Not in the way the defense preposed. He is where he should be. I feel sorry for his family and friends that believe he is innocent.
I don't think he's innocent either, but that comment isn't the evidence you think it is. Probably every other adulterer in the world has said something similar to a side piece who wants to be together openly, when the adulterer doesn't fully want a divorce. Just blowing them off with empty promises.
@@BlueCyann Good point. He may have just been stringing her on.
Thank God they turned the investigation over to a different department! It’s impossible for a PD Department to properly investigate one of their own/itself. Well done.
How sad that her family didn’t stand behind her. The fact the son didn’t question his mom’s death is positively heartbreaking. Especially after the affair was made public.
Funny how often wives die suspiciously after husbands get a girlfriend.
This dude must be the dumbest detective ever lol incriminating Google searches & brazen texts to his lover - all from his primary work pc & phone 😂 I'm an avid 48hrs watcher and I'm confident I'd have done a better job in hiding the evidence than this "detective"
His Lust for Cori , outweighed his common sense to cover his tracks.
Even some of the Dumbest criminals can do that.
And his role at work was the evidence guy no less! 🤣
He lacks common sense.
He was literally looking up information about how an old house could be harmful. They not only had a young child living with them, but as you recall, he said that they were arguing about retirement. He didn’t want to stay in that house and fixing up this house through his retirement, he wanted to sell it so it’s very plausible and not only was he looking for how to keep the house safe for this young child but he was looking for arguments to give to his wife to justify selling the house
To think that he made it to "Lieutenant"! He must have 'failed upwards'.
So, argument over a house, a dog and an evening outing leads to suicide? Man, that’s crazy. People in their 50- ties are making out in a truck? Insane. He is so dumb, it is difficult to understand how he can be a detective. Her family is just an insult to her memory.
No, he wanted to get rid of her so he could keep all his money and assets and not have to give them to his wife.
I know, right! What respectable woman of middle age (or any age for that matter) lets a man have her in a car? Isn't that stuff for teens in heat?
Her family is absolutely vile.
Yes, why did they all say that he was innocent?
I mean, we don't know her... Her family could have seen certain characteristics in her that made them come to that conclusion
Brian is literally the dumbest detective that has ever lived.
Ikr
He listened to his dumb wrong minded thought system
He wasnt the brightest crayon in the box, yeah?
I agree.He lacks common sense.
@@AP12360He was too full of himself to think they would even question him or investigate him!
Nor the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Amy's family should be ashamed of themselves for siding with her husband.
SMH poor lady
Sounds like her son helped, too.
If in fact he killed her. I am not convinced.
@@mauriciofelix190 Does your gender have anything to do with that opinion?
@@questianna not at all... you?
How awful that her own family sided with the guy having an affair and wanting to be with the other woman. Poor lady, you husband murders you in co,d blood and your family believes him! So p,eased she got the justice she deserved. Maybe tha family will be able to stand back and see things the way the jury, the police and the public see it.
Same as the Todd Kendhammer case. He was so obviously guilty and nonr of his or his wife's family could see it
💯
@@DavePaintThese people don't want to see it, don't want to see him in prison.
Right? How her own sister said “I was embarrassed for her” bc she “reprimanded” her husband like a child in front of her…I can’t
@@chellessong1576 She was making her sister the wrong one and virtue signaling about how a wife should behave around her husband. It was sibling rivalry and hatred masking as correctness.
He sure seems unemotional during the first interview… that’s a red flag. What a lame liar…
Very unemotional and matter of fact.
Yes, especially if his story was that his wife had just killed herself in front of him! You'd be more distraught
This guy is a cop and he asks if they are gonna contact the other woman??
Amazing! He might as well said ....oh, but no need to contact her!
He felt entitled because of the shield.
He was definitely going to be found, Amy's family is delusional.
Both families were more concerned about 'keeping up appearances' than having the truth known.
He is such a creep.
Shame on you Corey. Married means unavailable. You're responsible as well
I feel bad for Amy but also her sister Anna. I’m sure her not siding with Brian caused a rift in the family. The good thing about that is she now knows what type of family she has. 😢
I thought the same thing.
She has probably known about this fact for a long time!!
Yet another story of a guy who gets a new girlfriend and decides to get rid of his wife rather than just divorce her.
It continues to baffle most. Why not get a divorce if you’re so in love with someone else? Sacrifice whatever you have to in order to leave the wife you’re leaving with some dignity, a reasonable amount of money to support her as best you can, and move on with your life.
Funny how these despicable people played the religious, devoted roles, while shamelessly cheating on their spouses.
As a crime scene investigator, this was very interesting. I actually have encountered, first hand, a suicide where I found no gunshot residue on the victims hand and there was no soot or stippling on the wound. The explanation was that he had very dense curly hair and the gunshot residue was absorbed by the hair and also went inside of the wound from hard contact. Of course there are other inconsistencies here but still very interesting.
Thanks for posting this, I also found his denials in this case believable.
I'm not saying he's innocent, just that I had some minor doubt around that interaction.
I don't think he did it. I believe him 😔
A cheating husband always chooses a Walmart trash model. Sad.
It's all about what she does for him.
In this case, probably a bunch of stuff his wife would never allow.
It must be in your neck of the woods because I’ve seen some with some smokin hot side chicks,it depends on the context I reckon.
@@ImNotaRussianBotAlmost all the time, yep. Learning to live without certain things is not an option for these betraying flat leaver types.
Very few men, leave their wife unless they have a replacement
This is the damn honest truth
She loved her 100 year old home, her kids and dogs. Doesn't sound like someone with a bad temper. People who love helpless others like animals or kids are more even keeled.
She probably got angry when she found out about the affair. Which any normal person would do! Od course a cheater will.blame her, instead of being accountable. He had to try to destroy her name, to reflect his own carachter!!
Remember when people just got a divorce when they got tired of cheating on their spouse?
In every decade, even century, it has occurred, correct.....but so have these horrific crimes because divorce was too much to ask of the "powerful."
You're showing your age😊
Remember Columbo?
His wife was so much prettier, like why the heck would he do this, he had everything.
It's so disgusting and disrespectful that her family supported the man that was cheating on her and had all those incriminating searches in his phone.
Anna is the only one loyal and true to Amy.
Her mother and other family members are sickening !
I'm so glad these cops actually investigated their fellow cop, I feel like in many areas fellow cops world pat him on the back and case closed. There should always be outside investigations from other departments to avoid conflicts of interest like this.
Hair preventing GSR from landing on the skin is an interesting fact. However, the demonstration was ridiculous; there's no way the victim had that much hair at her temple. Her hair may have been thick or she had a lot of hair (density) but the amount of hair in the demo was simiilar to shooting someone in the back of the head. Remember, Brian said she placed the gun to the right side of her head and showed it at the temple. Even if there wasn't any GSR there (forensic failure for not testing) there would've been a contact burn if she held it to her skin/hair. Wonder if they tested for GSR on hands and possibly gloves?
Also, in the demo it was clearly synthetic hair and I wonder if that affects the test? Synethtic hair has different properties to real hair.
Same thing i was thinking about it being too much hair!
Exactly what I thought. He shot into the bushiest part of the hair which would absorb the most gsr just to prove his point.
I agree. They should have preserved her hands, though, asap, and tested them for GSR and his as well. Good thing they had the other evidence.
I think you need to see more people. He did not show her holding it right to our tempo. He just demonstrated it holding up to the side of her head, not her temple, and you better believe there are people out there who have hair as thick and dense as the demonstration, I am one of them people.
@@Desantisgogoboots that right there was the number one flaw in this investigation and what could have and should have been highlighted to the jury. Maybe it was or only seeing the snippet and I’m not gonna go seek out the transcriptions but why was there not gun residue test done on her hands and his hands? Remember, he didn’t touch the gun he would’ve had no excuse her having gun residue on his hand her brother came in and moved the gun out-of-the-way, not him so that would’ve been almost cut and dry. If She had gun run to do on her hand but He didn’t problem solved.
Disgusting on her mother, siblings and son! Murdered and then drag her legacy through mud. Shame on them all. The side piece is awful.

As soon as I heard he had a girlfriend I knew he probably had something to do with this
Yup
For me, it was the minute that he mentioned that they were having arguments about what their life would look like, post retirement. When he said that she wanted to keep the house because she loved it, and that he wanted to travel. Also that she wanted another dog, and he didn't even seem to care about the dog they currently had. When it was revealed that he was having an affair with another woman, that sealed it for me.
Yea and the 911 call. Absolutely no emotion and matter of fact.
Ikr
He said “she’s gone, I’m sorry” to the operator, you don’t say something like that when someone you love dies.
Couldn't possibly have been habit/ training, from all the times he had to say that to someone else over a dead family member, though, could it?
P.s. you have no idea what "you say" when someone you love dies. Everyone responds differently.
Amy family must’ve hated her😮💨
Seriously!!!I was like damn!
Her children too. Makes me wonder if life without parole was a bit harsh tbh.

@@loralieisa When I get angry at someone else, I am not looking to hurt myself!
It sure made me wonder what the family's views were on independent women. Something had to have happened in their interactions with Amy for them to dis her like that. Anger or not, why did they think she would just up and unalive herself?
I can’t get past the internet searches.
I love how science is such an integral part of law enforcement now. This guy apparently forgot that fact.

@sherrimartin4775 I've learned that just because people belong to a church does not mean they have discernment. My own mother and other family members were fooled by people in the face of plain common sense both inside and outside their churches. A lot of people seem to lack discernment and it's getting more obvious as time marches on. Deception is a virus that is spreading.
Yes, they are shockingly gullible fools!
I can’t seem to understand her family’s support of Brian. She doesn’t have a history of self injurious behavior or past attempts at suicide🤷🏾♀️? Could it be because of his family connections? Shame on them.
Its so sad
Hopefully they get lots of hate mail all the time since this aired
I think its somewhat related to their religious beliefs. Its pretty obvious watching her mother testimony that she didn't agreed when Amy had a mind or an opinion in the marriage, so they probably think it was justified on his end or her being a terrible wife.
@@LudySanchez96 It's possible. But there also is the possibility that she was an angry person who would impulsively committ suicide to punish her husband in an irrational fashion. Both is within the realm of plausiblity
That affair partner is also to be blame. They both active in the church had no shame. His late wife is more beautiful an a devouted wife. .
