You hit the metaphorical nail on the head! They are making a CHOOSE not to believe that their father did it. It is willful ignorance. It does seem like such a betrayal for the memory of their poor deceased mother. No accountability in this misguided family.

Well, killing the wife was more horrible than cheating on her. Yes, that is terrible to cheat on your spouse, but he murdered her so he can continue to have sex with prostitutes. That's despicable and horrific.
Narcissistic people never take responsibility. They always blame someone else for their outrageous behaviour. Most children believe that their parents are innocent of any crime but that's not realistic nor true. May his wife RIP.
My understanding of the story is that she gave up a promising career to be the stay at home wife and mom. If he would have left her and divorced her, she would have a strong case in family court, especially with his secret life of risky sex. Not making excuses for him, just acknowledging that the financial loss for him in divorce would have been severe.
So driven by his sexual desires and now ironically he will never in his life have sex again with a woman. He should have just divorced his wife and do him, instead he choose the dumbest way possible to end his marriage.
It’s easy to do though… it’s hard to understand the behavior if you’ve never had a narcissist for a parent. The head games and manipulation begins from birth, so it takes time to snap out of it. My grandparents would often talk about how foolish my mother was and she as always in conflict with someone, but I felt sorry for her because she made herself look like the victim over and over. My friends would tell me how she was sleeping with the neighbors spouses, but I never believed it. I didn’t start to realize how foul she was until I was 47 yrs old.
@@Virus-xm7qc😂😂😂... obviously you weren't paying attention during the video. murders are extremely rare in wealthy white communities like Wesley Massachusetts. That's not true in poor Blaq communities where murder is a common everyday occurrence. You are less likely to be killed in a majority white community than a majority blaq community.
The children are fooled by him as his wife. Children always remember their father as he used to be when they were children. They don’t imagine he could do such a thing.
They are naive!!! If the facts staring these young adults in their faces they are smart enough to decide they are choosing to side with a murderer who took the life of their dear mommy
@@mpalmer7800 - Yes. I am sure they know the truth, but they desperately try to not to believe them and hang to their memories of what he used to be. Especially now that they have only one parent, although in my opinion children should not choose the parent who actually murdered your other parent, and it doesn’t matter how much he loved them.
The daughter said it was impossible his dad had an affair, she was proved wrong and had to eat her words. She said it was impossible her dad killed her Mom, she was proved wrong, but she is still in denial. Unbelievable, is that how she honors her Mom's memory? By siding with her killer?
LE investigators did a very good job in this case. A successful investigation requires attention to detail & willingness to persevere: LE in this case get an A in both. Crucial details like the hardware receipts could easily have been missed by lesser investigators, & all those small pieces of circumstantial evidence were essential to getting a conviction.
Like the lawyer in Georgia who robbed his clients & then killed his mother! Some our “pillars of the community” are apparently undercover criminals & psychopathic murders.
I agree with you. I'm highly educated person, having a BEng, an MPhil, a PhD, a professorship rank, and an experience of about 30 years in higher eduction and research. I am clever in solving math and engineering problems, but so dumb when faced with life issues.
@@ScienTeka my husband was very smart too. He was an electrical engineer. He knew so many things-but common sense just wasn’t in his dna. I believe you can be highly educated and very intelligent but some are arrogant like this guy. He was convinced he was the smart guy in the room. His arrogance was his undoing.
I've met many highly educated people who have huge problems using common sense and even doing simple logic tasks. But most of them can cite poems better than me, so who am I to judge.. ;)
The adult children are all highly educated professionals but for decades have chosen to ignore the forensic evidence that clearly showed their father was guilty of their mother's murder and that nobody else was involved. Poor Mrs Greineder.
What is wrong with these people? If your marriage no longer fulfilling divorce please. Isn't your freedom of more value than what you have to face in the courts.? So sad and disappointing.
The husband is a wacko, he definitely made sure that he killed his wife, and that he did it in a closed in area! He seems to have an answer for everything and a different story he tells everyone about his wife and finding her dead. He’s guilty as hell! What a narcissistic sociopath
My divorce was finalized the day he was convicted. His criminal trial was across the street from the probate court where I was. There were tv and media from all over the country and the street was mobbed. That was back in the day when you didn't see media and news stations to such an extent.
I find it amazing that murderers continue to deny even when all the evidence points to their guilt of the crime. I have watched many such trials and they all share this same trait. They are absolutely wonderful deniers and liars. I am always relieved that the jury gets it right in the end and they are sent to prison for a long time.
She should pay less attn to her (hit & miss) outfits and more attn to the script...after all she's just recapping events for viewers and when the victim goes from being shot in her vehicle by someone travelling in a vehicle behind, to being shot after the vehicle drove up along side, to being shot from the backseat of her vehicle, she embarrasses herself.
@@1romancatholic It's understandable. They loved both parents, and felt loved. Losing both must have been too painful to accept the truth. I just hope they have all come to accept the truth.
What child wants to believe their parent could be responsible for such a brutal crime? Even with all the evidence they have against the father, he obviously was living a dual life and, DNA just does not lie. I think as years go by, these kids know exactly who killed their mom. Accusing Dad would be extremely disloyal to him but what do they think they're doing to Mom? I know most times its about money, sex and greed along with a lot of hateful rage that they can't just let go! Very sad and in the end, no one wins.
It never ceases to amaze how many people are more than willing to destroy the lives of the people they should love the most and risk their own lives for lust of money.
Why? He wanted to save his reputation and was in panic & sex mode. Poor May. She had a beautiful and sensitive face. He looked creepy. Glad the jury got it right.
How ironic that everything that was so important to him has disappeared anyway, BOTH his reputation and sex with women. Funny enough had he just divorced her, he could have kept BOTH. Better to be known as a divorced doctor than a murderer.
The narrator said that the children were highly intelligent, and highly educated people. There’s no way they didn’t question that their father did this horrific thing. I’m glad someone was speaking of the mother’s behalf because no one else was in the family.
he should have divorced her, not murder her! how utterly heart-breaking! Children are in denial, esp the blonde daughter stammering when asked to recall a specific snippet of the "affair" conversation she had with her father...RIP Ms May!
Occam‘s razor states that the simplest explanation is usually the right one. In other words, the explanation that requires the least number of assumptions to be made is most often correct. it’s possible she was attacked by a stranger with no motive in broad daylight within earshot of at least the dog but it’s more likely, the husband killed her.
God I remember this. It was my freshman year of college and I was born and raised no far from Wellesley. Such a scary and devastating situation . I honestly didn’t know if they ever got a resolution.
Watched this trial when it was aired live. No doubt in my mind he killed May. Same as with the "staircase" trial/murderer the kids were in full support of their father.
I grew up in Norwood, a "poorish" community very near Wellesley in the same conference. Wellesley and the College is a gorgeous town! Walpole is right next to Norwood. Just a little perspective about southern burbs of Boston. ❤
My kids believed their Narcissistic father was the good guy and I was not. Fact is, he played being their pal not their parent. This is a form of emotional incest and control behavior. They are prime manipulators. The kids will be in denial for a long time, but eventually, if you leave them alone with each other, the truth will come out. From the phone call, you can see he is the killer. Too many details. If you are in shock and in grief and disbelief, you do not give all these details to 911. You blurt out that you need help and beg them to come fast, fast, fast. You are only concerned about speed to save someone, you don't talk about walking dogs, leaving her alone, etc. The proof is right there. 2nd proof - he calmly states he did not kill his wife. Any innocent man would be angry and still grieving. No emotion, flat. Then he looks down and hangs his head in shame. So obvious the body language. Why did he kill his wife? Maybe she wanted to leave and his Narc ego was injured and enraged? Maybe he did not want to split the assets and wanted to have money for his sex addictions? He gambled and lost his life. Foolish man. Lost his life, career, assets, kids, friends, everything. And his devoted and lovely wife, sadly. The three gullible children look on. If they were so convinced of his innocence, why did one of them question him? The saddest thing, they lost their mother to murder, they lost their father to jail, and they lost their mother's relatives because they sided with the father which put them in opposing camps. That is the casualty of murder. By the way, Court TV - stop putting clickbait messages like 'graphic images viewer discretion advised'. No gory images, so stop lying.
One would think a doctor to figure out a less brutal way to kill a spouse. They have access to all kinds of ways to poison or overdose someone. Not that that doesn’t cause some pain too but be bludgeoned with a hammer!!!
The families are almost always in denial. They ignore the evidence because they “know he/she couldn’t have committed murder.” I’ve only watched one episode where the family was against their daughter/sister. That was Gypsy Jillian Michaels/Dr.McNeil on dateline.
The father is probably a narcissist who controlled the family. He probably had already been blaming the mom for many years by then, so his kids were used to considering him the golden parent and the mother - the bad parent. They are still in this mindset probably.
What got me is that when she felt the pain and sat on the bench, he continued to walk the dog. Had she experienced this when they walked the dogs previously? If my partner was experiencing pain the first thing I would have done is take them home or take them to the emergency room
That was one of his lies. He said he left her resting on the bench for just 10 minutes while he finished walking the dog. In reality, law-enforcement believes he hit her in the back of the head as they both were walking, but “she refused to die.” He had to work harder to finish her off & try to cover his tracks. FAIL.
Not in the Christian faith. My Lord extends grace and mercy if we humble ourselves, recognize our need and ask for His forgiveness. Our sins which are scarlet are made white as snow. Absorb the anointed words written by the former slaver John Newton: 🕊️ “Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.” 🙌🏼
What a disgrace Dr. for his kids and millions watched the trial! All the evidences pointed towards him and still lied about buying the gloves and hammer. “ Dr “ my a..!
There has been a myriad of men that seek sex outside of the marriage for various reasons…but they would never kill their wives. But maybe it’s something like flying too close to the sun😳
Same old story…she wasn’t interested in sex anymore. Like that makes it okay to have sex with other women! Conveniently he doesn’t remember important details regarding his actions around the murder…smh
How do we know if if that is truth. She's dead. He could have just made an excuse. For sympathy. What a cruel man. What a beautiful lady. With 3 adult children around and he is talking about their mother and painful sex. Very very sad for May. RIP.
The fact the doctor told police his wife gave him a back rub that day, to explain that his skin may be under her fingernails, is chilling. It suggests Mabel scratched her husband, as she tried to defend herself during his murderous attack. That poor woman knew her husband, the father of her three children, the man she trusted and shared a home and bed with, was killing her. It's hard to imagine a more horrible and heinous betrayal. And for what? Money - and Greed. Mabel was almost certainly about to leave him - the most common trigger for a man to murder a woman. Like so many domestic killers, Dirk Greineder chose murder over divorce, so he wouldn't have to give his wife her share of their jointly owned assets. Their children know full well their father killed their mother. The way the daughter constantly shakes her head while defending his 'innocence', is very revealing body language! (19:55). They are still being controlled and manipulated by their narcissist father, just as he controlled and manipulated the entire family. If only poor Mabel had realised what he was capable of, and got herself to a safe, secret address to launch divorce proceedings. So many women are murdered because they make the fatal mistake of staying in a soured relationship too long - and give their abusive partner the opportunity to kill them.
I’m screeeeaminnng the same thing I always scream! Just get a damn divorce! Except that doesn’t solve the root issue: These are cold blooded killers who would have killed eventually, whether it was their spouse or a stranger. I don’t know why I watch this stuff I’m so upset right now!!! Her poor family!!!
Well that his needs didn't stop when his wife couldn't fulfill them anymore is totally normal I think. But in the 90ties it was different & difficult to talk about comparing to nowadays. Very sad that he tought that this was his only option
As of February- 2020 he was in the state's medium security prison in Norfolk where he spent most of his time fighting for legislation that would give so called "lifers" a chance for parole after 25 years. So far the verdict has been upheld at every level of appellate review.

He probably didn't want to divorce her for financial reasons. Those call girls don't come cheap.
Not just the financial but his "dignity" would have taken a hit.
He wanted insurance money

Not making excuses for him, just acknowledging that the financial loss for him in divorce would have been severe.
free money is hard to give up......
They did not prove Mae knew so not guilty
Couldn't sexually use his wife anymore so he killed her. No compassion for her ailments. He didn't love her.
The good Dr obviously did not take his wedding vows too serious.
He's garbage. He certainly isn't having relations in prison at least not willingly.
He became a sex addict and murdered, his innocent wife
What a monster.

I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.” 🙌🏼
Why is he and his daughter laughing ? What the hell! This is serious her mother was murdered. Omg I would be unconsolible.
I almost laughed at his post crime statements...shame on me...
What a disgrace Dr. for his kids and millions watched the trial! All the evidences pointed towards him and still lied about buying the gloves and hammer. “ Dr “ my a..!
This guy and Richard Alex Murdaugh, SC, think alike.
That has to be uncomfortable for their children to hear, especially about their parents sex life. Children don't see their parents as sexually active.
He didn't like her. He was done.
Chances are at her age, she wouldnt have wanted a divorce. But he was mad that she "wouldn't make him happy"
‘I think she’d dead. I’m a doctor’ 🙄 Some doctor!
There has been a myriad of men that seek sex outside of the marriage for various reasons…but they would never kill their wives. But maybe it’s something like flying too close to the sun😳
He sounds like a sinister person
Same old story…she wasn’t interested in sex anymore. Like that makes it okay to have sex with other women!
Conveniently he doesn’t remember important details regarding his actions around the murder…smh
How do we know if if that is truth. She's dead. He could have just made an excuse. For sympathy. What a cruel man. What a beautiful lady. With 3 adult children around and he is talking about their mother and painful sex. Very very sad for May. RIP.
Sometimes doctors are not that smart !
HORRIBLE MAN, SOOOOOOO EVIL, I CAN IMAGINE HOW THE POOR LADY FELT AND THE HORROR SHE EXPERIENCED.
THE CHILDREN ARE MISGUIDED FOR SURE.
What a NASTY looking man!!! Abraham Lincoln said “By the time you’re 50 you get the face you deserve.”
The public was in danger. His addictions
Law and order CIS made a episode of this but few things were different, his wife was running alone and was attacked
The fact the doctor told police his wife gave him a back rub that day, to explain that his skin may be under her fingernails, is chilling. It suggests Mabel scratched her husband, as she tried to defend herself during his murderous attack.
That poor woman knew her husband, the father of her three children, the man she trusted and shared a home and bed with, was killing her. It's hard to imagine a more horrible and heinous betrayal.
And for what? Money - and Greed. Mabel was almost certainly about to leave him - the most common trigger for a man to murder a woman. Like so many domestic killers, Dirk Greineder chose murder over divorce, so he wouldn't have to give his wife her share of their jointly owned assets.
Their children know full well their father killed their mother. The way the daughter constantly shakes her head while defending his 'innocence', is very revealing body language! (19:55). They are still being controlled and manipulated by their narcissist father, just as he controlled and manipulated the entire family. If only poor Mabel had realised what he was capable of, and got herself to a safe, secret address to launch divorce proceedings. So many women are murdered because they make the fatal mistake of staying in a soured relationship too long - and give their abusive partner the opportunity to kill them.
Well said.
So sad to saw a killer doctor. Justice served but family disintegrated sad.
Stay Crime Free 👊🏽
They take the witness "stand" seriously there. The county can't afford a chair?
Yeah, I noticed that. I was thinking that I liked the idea of standing while giving witness.
keeps 'em awake 😵💫
Give credit to the jury who got it right. 👍
I’m screeeeaminnng the same thing I always scream! Just get a damn divorce! Except that doesn’t solve the root issue: These are cold blooded killers who would have killed eventually, whether it was their spouse or a stranger.
I don’t know why I watch this stuff I’m so upset right now!!! Her poor family!!!
I think it is about money. They don't want to see half of what he thinks are his assets disappear.
His children lost their money machine. That's all they care. Guilty!
He's a worthless Doctor how could he do something like that to is wife if he did it shame on him 😳
Why is the question for everyone of these type cases??????
Those kids don't believe we're much different from their father of course it was support a man who will financially support them
I mean if it wasn't him it was definitely a 👽 dropped down from its spaceship Tom cruise mission impossible style! WTH 🤦🏼♀️
How do you go on walks/hikes without a phone?
The children were well-educated. Not very smart.
Just get a divorce and go live your life. He just ruined their family. I feel sorry for the children and May.
Well that his needs didn't stop when his wife couldn't fulfill them anymore is totally normal I think. But in the 90ties it was different & difficult to talk about comparing to nowadays. Very sad that he tought that this was his only option
He seemed like he was over sexualized, his wife probably realized he had a sexual addiction problem.
He didn’t show shock and sadness that his wife was gone. “Am I going to be arrested ?”
He is guilty, she was murdered , she didn’t kill herself 🌷🌷💕🌷🌷
When people start giving excuse straight away and giving excuses usually mean’s guilty
As of today, he must be 83 years old. I tried to find out if he is even still alive and I couldn't find it. Does anyone know for sure?
As of February- 2020 he was in the state's medium security prison in Norfolk where he spent most of his time fighting for legislation that would give so called "lifers" a chance for parole after 25 years. So far the verdict has been upheld at every level of appellate review.
@@AnimaLibera Thanks.
His poor children lost both of their parents and they stood by him because they didn't want to believe it.
Why do they make them stand to testify??
How come these children don't take up for their mother as welll?? That's messed up.
that dude just looked like the "type" a killer and a pervert
Can you tone down the over-the-top melodramatic music? 😖
