I Heard My Sociopathic Dad Doing THIS To My Mum
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2024
- At just 11, Collier Landry witnessed his father doing the worst imaginable thing to his mother. What ensued was a cat and mouse game between his dad, the cops and a little boy who knew too much. After his father's arrest, he was abandoned by both sides of his family and orphaned into the foster-care system in this truly shocking story. As seen on Dr. Phil and the Law&Crime Network, we'll look at how Collier Landry worked with police to arrest his father who murdered his mother.

I remember watching Collier’s testimony on television. My Mom, who had 10 children, started to cry. She said, “What a brave boy!” I know my Mom would have taken him into our house and just showered him with love.
This is such a beautiful testimony.
With ten kids already? Yeah I don't think so. Better not to idealize someone just because they are a parent and be realistic. And how is this fictional narrative of "would've" helpful to anyone?
@@margodrake3825 Oh, did you know my Mom? And my family? Okay.
@@margodrake3825 Oh you sad sad POS!!!!! Not happy unless you're trying to drag others down to your level ! Get some help!
@@maryannebrown2385 She must have a miserable existence and making the rest of the world pay for it. I bet your mom was wonderful and loved children.
My heart goes out to him - He looks like he has been crying forever.
I wanted to say something but yes, his eyes have a look of being swollen and burning. At the same time, full of life and brilliant in choices in life.
Um...that's called 'he smokes weed'.
Really insightful comment...
Collier, I have known many people in 70 years, all kinds, you are an honest and admirable man. Good job raising yourself, friend.
My comment as well! 😁
Collier's mother would have been so proud of him. What a force to contend with! We all need someone like him on our side, wow!
I love that Andrew doesn’t interrupt Collier’s narrative, but let’s him tell his story his way and in his time. Very respectful. My heart breaks that Collier’s family couldn’t or wouldn’t give that child the love and support he needed. He wasn’t the bad guy in this case. Collier, I wish you all the best in your continued healing from this trauma.
Yes -- I hate the "interrupters" : Howard Stern, Dave Letterman
Andrew carries a lot of pain.
I find it really appalling that neither side of the family was able to take him in! How horrible that he ended up with no family while doing the right thing. These people should be ashamed of themselves!!!!
Perhaps they were that afraid of his dad & his dads "colleagues."
@@castielsgranny4308 meaning they care more about their own life than that of a child
Or someone there is also afraid
Sadly the system is stacked against him. I can't take anyone in because I have a studio. Sucks because ide put some bunk beds down. That's the way it is. Also my dad had cps called on him 68 times before he even saw prison time.
I doubt he'd be better off with the grandparents who raised his psychopath father
All the things he did with the police at such a tender age is amazing! He’s a genius! And God bless the detective for believing in him💕
Easy where you throw the "G word" around Dawn lol! But thank you SM for your kind words!
@@collierlandry GOD Bless you! Have a wonderful day!!! And I really mean that, I'm not being sarcastic....well maybe a little bit!!
True.
Yeah a diligent detective thank the Lord. What happened to the dog as well. I thought the father might hurt the dog.
@@collierlandry and
I remember seeing him testify and he was the most intelligent, articulate boy I've ever seen. Unbelievable bravery and cleverness! I can only imagine the reunion he will have in Heaven with his devoted Mother 😊
I don't believe in heaven or hell or anything like that. I believe in the here and now, how we affect others in the present. This man has touched other people with his bravery and moral compass. That is his legacy. I also hope he has people in his life that love him immensely right now.
I suggest you wjo believe in nothing just once when on ur by yourself on ur own ask God if He is real I promise you Father God will answer you just ASK He is real
@@user-xw8hf1rl1ePolitely, I suggest you go away. I have not asked for your opinion and do not welcome your attempts at indoctrination
Heaven? 😂🤣
Ibfeel very sorry for you and hope you will change your mind before you meet your maker. God believes in you. God loves you. If you were the only person on earth, God would have sent Jesus to die just for you. Heaven is real as is hell.@howareyou857
Collier's trauma is still very real. I don't think he is desensitized at all - you can see his rapid eye movement as if he is reliving every detail of what happened in real time. Even after 30 years it is still traumatic. He was so caught up in catching his Dad his grief was proably delayed. Not to mention years of living in fight or flight and heightened awareness. No doubt he probably suffered from PTSD. I am glad he is telling his story to heal, and is helping others to heal from trauma. My heart breaks for all he has endured. I too was a survivor of dometic violence, and almost murdered by my narcissist ex. I had to learn to move on and heal without an apology. It's not easy. My love and prayers go out to Collier. Continue to heal Collier, as well as be a healer. I too help people with trauma. At the end of the tunnel of my own suffering came my ability to help others get through theirs.
The best comment here. His survival instict was stronger than his grief at a time.
Wish you safe life and happy life.
Yes, a wounded healer. A wonderful man.
Yes the rapid eye movements tells a lot.Please see a spiritual healer, to clear the last pain.Your Mothers spirit will be with you.Karma will come and check on your family.God bless you, I hope you find your peace and a wonderful human, who will love you.🙏🙏♥️😘
When did this happen? And what is Collier's last name.
@@lollipop65 Collier Landry - he was 11 when this happened in 1990
Sorry he lost his mother so early in life but what a brave boy he was.

Collier is a precious soul. He is a brave man.

I wish he could tell it like it really was, as an 11yr old. Rather than portray himself as this 11yr old detective in charge. 😕🤔
His mother did such an unbelievable job raising him.Even after her death she gave him this strength to get justice for her.The love between a mother and child is strong.Sending him many blessings
You're mum would've been so proud of you god bless you xx
M
God bless you and protect you from all that
You are a man now I know is not easy to believe that your dad can kill your mother
May God protect you 🙏 ✨️ ❤️
That's exactly what I thought too. What a special bond they must have had and how strong his love for her was for him to put himself in such danger for 26 days so that she could finally get the justice she deserved. I'm in awe of that little boy! I have a daughter who's almost 11 and I can't imagine her having to go through something as traumatic as this. What a brave kid, and so smart! I hope he realises what a truly remarkable thing he did all those years ago and how proud his mother would have been of him then and of the man he has now become.
Aa
As a child you were more of a real men.. than most men in todays society. You had the integrity and character as a kid that most adults don’t have today..You were the only HERO in any of this..
I remember when he testified ,in my mid teens. I was struck by the way he managed to outsmart a psychopath because he understood that he needed to get justice for his Mom. I am sorry that he was put into this position and then not supported. I have no words 😶 just love .
This is a complete testimony to his love of his mother and the perseverance for truth and justice for them both. What a guy.
What a brave kid !
he was really in touch with the spirit of Truth, like so many kids are.

A small clip of a small boy testifying against his mother who drowned his sister. He was impressive. 😢
Collier is simply unbreakable. He could have turned into a bitter person blaming everything and everyone but he didn't. Admirable!
Collier turned into a sweet, kind and compassionate man. His sweet dog, Blondie, was with him for 17 years. She just passed and he loved her so much. Collier said that he was with Blondie longer than he was with his mom. That broke my heart. Collier is always in my thoughts and in my prayers.
He refuses to be a Victim.
Great Young Men
What doesn’t kill you makes you strong♥️♥️🙏🏻
Incredible young child in finding justice for his mother. Kudos, Collier, for being able to move forward in a positive light. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Your Mom would be so proud and happy about the man you became and how you fought for her as a boy. ❤❤❤
As a mom I can tell you that your mom was thinking of you and your safety while trying to save her own life.
Your mom must have been so amazing. She shines through you.
Yes, I was thinking that too.
I cannot even imagine how proud your mother is. She was up very very lucky woman to have a child like you.
When he said he didn't see his dog again I felt that pain. A dog is every little boy's best friend and considering how hard his childhood was that dog must have been his world.
F. M
So True - I firmly believe we will All meet our beloved pets again when we pass over.
Aaaawww, yeah
His dog is his only confidant and friend not to find solace knowing that his mother is murdered by his own father is brutal for a child. What you have endured at a young age sticks with you through a a lifetime. I am glad you were able to break through.. God bless you.,may you find peace Amen 🙏
I Thank God you had a mind of an intelligent Adult at your age you only spoke to people who mattered in doing that you help to save your own life you were a genius at eleven years old you must be proud of your self you did a great honor to your mom and your dog be happy with yourself you left no stone unturned I had goose bumps listening to you that was a lot for an eleven year old you are blessed
The murder and its aftermath were already awful, but what truly disgusted me was the cowardly maternal aunt. How could she reject the child, especially when he was so courageous and responsible for her to be found and the murderer brought to justice?!!!? It was a lame excuse. No wonder the mother had not fled with her children when she suspected her husband if wanting to kill her. She had nobody to turn to.
She had resources that most women don't have. Part of her still loved him, she protected her husband and was still hoping the good things she remembered would return. The cycle of abuse needs to be taught in middle school in the US
What a mentally strong young man he was. Actually amazing. He held it together being methodical and analytical. Overcoming and not becoming a victim. Just barreling on ahead searching for answers. What a guy! Mom would be so proud.
I don’t understand how his mother’s family abandoned him. He did everything to get justice for his Mom. He gave closure to the family and that in itself should have been enough for them to know he was nothing like the murderer. What a story of survival and moving forward despite the worst of circumstances.
Sadly, people who end up in abusive relationships, come from abusive homes themselves. Doesn’t require hitting or beating. Psychological abuse is enough.
I've listened to his podcast and he says that his mother didn't have a close relationship with her family. It seems like they were dysfunctional as well. Another thing he mentioned is that his father attended his aunt's daughters (maternal aunt) and allegedly m#lested them, so his mom's sister has a whole cocktail of issues because of it as well.

@@harley6222 The planet is a better place because of Collier. I am still deeply saddened that he had to endure such a great loss. It never goes away. But, Collier channels his experience into his art.
@@harley6222 yes. Thanks.
Aw, he didn’t have his mother very long, but what a great job she did with him! ❤️❤️
I’ve seen multiple documentaries on this murder, and it’s amazing to see him as a grown man talking about his experience. My heart goes out to him, and I’m so proud of him for basically solving his mother ms murder - he was so brave!
Your non invasive interview style is impressive. You're a great listener and you ask good questions. You put your ego aside and let Collier tell his story without interjecting with your opinions or reactions. Probably some interviewees need this but he doesn't.
Collier has that ancient grief in his eyes, like he needs a week of sleep and a ton of water. My heart goes out to him. So much intelligence, heart, and wherewithal since he was a child. Humanity let him down.
Exactly my thoughts too, listening and watching to this all! So amazing how he let Collier do his story. ❤
Andrew is great! I definitely picked up a few pointers and inspiration from his interview style! Cheers to him!
I hope grandma is also held complicent for her actions-she should have protected her grandchildren, not her murdering son!?!⚖️🇺🇸😡
I remember seen this on the news, I was taken by this young man’s eloquence and composure. So many years later I find out he was telling the most horrible story of his life, to add insult to injury he finds himself alone in the world with no support system. I’m sorry for your loss, but I congratulate you for your bravery.
Thank you!
Sick Ass little people 😢😪
Poor baby 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😢
He is going on nd on cuz I blive he has not got over it yet..he still hurting 😂🇧🇼
God bless Collier
Neither side of the family would take this brave boy who made sure he got justice for his mother?? How that would have saddened her! 😥 He did his mother proud 💜
Yes definitely ! Shame on them, each of those family members that kicked this young boy to the curb losing his mother wasn't enough, then let's abandon him... My heart truly goes out to him ❣️
Yeah it's cruel what they did
They should be ashamed, especially his mother’s family!
Yes, she had to have been a truly amazing person, as evidenced by his tenacity, devotion, and wisdom displayed far beyond his 11 years(in 1989). His father displayed none of these qualities.
@@dullahan7677 Well said!
Wow, I’m amazed at his strength, courage and eloquence at such a young age. I saw him testify and he spoke so well and clear, I’m so glad he is doing well today. His mother would have been so proud. 😢❤
I’m so sorry his family did that. I cannot believe his mothers family would do that. Do they really think that’s what she would have wanted for him? People are horrible.
It is horrible
I remember Forensic Files did an episode about this and it really sticks in my memory because of how Collier was such a key in solving the case and finding her. So sad, but really admire Collier for being so brave in getting justice for his mom.
Yes. He was a brave boy and a fine man. He is such a builder.
I ,too, admire Collier. He is a very compassionate. He gets it.
I commented the same thing.. I remembered the Forensic Files episode... His full story is so much sadder and tragic! I'm soooo glad he has come out on top after all he endured! So many others just go down a tragic path after something so horrible.
Absolutely, I remember too ..
@shaina nash j wonder what wouldewhat what the what the police what the political
Collier’s eyes…… Collier’s eyes show us what he has been through. What a courageous little Man. As a Mother of 3 I had to scoop up my children and LITERALLY escape my Narcissistic husband…I knew if I didn’t get out I would have met a similar fate. Collier, I know for a FACT your Mother is so proud of you. So lucky to have you! Unfortunately true strength is born from true pain.
Yes indeed..he is a handsome man.
His eyes!! Yes, they’re incredible. Maybe close to the same color as Joaquin Phoenix’s eyes…wowzer.
Also, I’m very sorry to hear of your plight with someone who threatened your & your kids’ safety.
This was a fascinating interview. Collier’s strength and character come through loud and clear.
@@LorieLee7 NJ
Thank goodness your father underestimated your intelligence and bravery to seek justice for your mother at such a young age Collier!
I appreciate how you've taken your trauma and used it to help others overcome their trauma. Thanks for being brave again to share your story now. You certainly didn't have to as an adult share this anymore. (I think your mom would be so proud of you)
Your mom was an a amazing person dude. What an amazing son. The loyalty this man had to his mother is just heart wrenching to hear his determination to find her!
I remember when this happened all those years ago. I was a kid myself! I remember seeing this adorable, smart little boy testifying and I couldn't believe how well spoken he was! He was so hurt, but he was not going to let that stop him from telling exactly what happened ...precisely with great detail. This kid was going to make sure his Dad would pay for what he did to his mother! What an amazing young man who turned out to be a very handsome, amazing, adult!
🥰
Your eyes tell the whole story. You didn't deserve to be left alone. The family should feel ashamed. You are brave, beautiful and an inspiration.
It sounds like he is better off being away from that family. Sad but true if you think about it.
I am so sad for the devastating childhood that Collier had before and after his father murdered his mother. He is incredibly strong to have spent his lifetime going through the processes to find an answer that ultimately is not available to him. I commend him for his strength as an 11-year old and as an adult. I pray that he will be at peace now and be able to cast off the torment of his past.
As an 11 year old, I’m pretty sure his “sleuthing work” was also a way of coping. Sometimes trauma takes a while to fully impact, if it ever does. He loved his mum and wanted justice for her. Yeah, his “mission” was a positive channel. Bless him 🫶🏻
I think you're right there.
What breaks me about this entire case is that this incredibly brave and single minded child had to return back to that home, EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR ALMOST AN ENTIRE MONTH! That is UNCONSCIONABLE.
Well Said
Thatd be 😰 terrifying
Yeah, that was so hard to think about and sort of comprehend while listening to this.
That's typical of our dysfunctional child welfare system.
That’s what happens when the society walks on eggshells when the perp is a doctor
He's a memorizing storyteller and you handled it great by not interrupting him in his flow, Andrew. His mother prepared him well. 💖🙏🙌
There's ALot of other interviewers that could/ should take a lesson in that. Js bc there's so many that interrupt & miss out on information.
So this child makes the case against the murderer of his mother, & both families find a reason to reject him, after he had lived in fear of his life, his place in the world has been pulled from under him like an old rag. How did he ever get over a period like that? Well, he just turns around& tries to help other people. He’s an astounding person.
Mesmerizing. Yes, that's true but it did take him almost an hour. If he is going to continue to try to use his story to help people I think Collier could use some help in thinking through his main points and telling the story more concisely.
@@Aiko2-26-9 1
@@Aiko2-26-9 I'd rather hear an hour's worth of his telling his story than have it sanitized into a shorter version, as it may help him more than if he had to edit it to please impatient people.
What a fascinating story and what a courageous young man he was , fighting for justice for the death of his mother. How outrageous that his mothers family then rejects him for getting the truth out ! That poor kid truly lost everything .
I’m not fascinated, I’m mortified
Everything and everyone that’s sad but he’s mother’s family and his fathers family are so heartless to turn away from this child. Thank You
I must say! This dude interviewing is a master class in how to properly allow a guest to tell a story; never interrupted and patiently-more importantly, quietly, allowed him to tell his story in full. Perfect style!
I have also never heard of this guy's story and it's so sad and tragic, how quickly he had to grow up and losing everyone in his life over the course of that situation? Unbelievable.. so just very sad! He was a mighty warrior for finding justice for his mom.
Thank you. I think you’ll enjoy this channel !
Andrew is such a pro
The fact that he immediately went to work gathering evidence to get justice for his mother speaks to the question " is he capable of doing the same thing" and clearly that answer is unequivocally NO. His mother raised him to be a Good man. She was a very Good mother .
She was the best 🫶

Hey Andrew. I love your style of interview. Let them tell their story and no constant interruption of the flow. Great job.

Congratulations on your successes and to your future. ❤️⭐️
Did his father goes to prison for killing his mother
Yes, his father went to prison for killing his mother.
Wow it’s unbelievable how intelligent he was at 11 years old. My heart hurts for the pain he went through and then be basically shunned by his mothers relatives and having to go into foster care where he continues feeling no love. His mother’s sister should feel very ashamed that she rejected her nephew who actually did detective work at 11 that found her sister’s killer and the body.
WOW!!!
That’s actually how domestic violence and coercive control works. The victim is abused by the spouse, family and friends say the victim provoked it, and punish and shun the victim and re traumatize them.
Wtf who was reasoning here
🤬😡🤬😡😡😡😡🤬😡🤬
My family is weird also
If anger, jealousy enters a family member, it has no boundaries to restrain it. The devil uses it to destroy for its usage against The Lord. It is a difficult situation.
@@mohinigunaselvam8234 .....my sister and her husband tried kill me. (long story). She was jealous of my walk with God. Envied the blessings she saw. And ultimately her bitterness towards God for not giving them an outreach ministry.
A retired homicide detective told me people kill for three things: jealousy, greed, and love. I had no idea that my life cast such a big shadow.
In truth, they would not humble themselves before God. You can't put filthy hands on holy things.
My heart goes out to this man. I grew up in a home with a sociopathic, narcissistic father. I’m in my 40’s and still wake up fighting for my life occasionally. I’m so sorry he lost his mother to a monster like this. For those who don’t know, it’s always safer to move in silence . Prepare months in advance little by little if you can. It could save you and others lives.
Yes very very important to do things silently
@@pamrasnick5362 Your short sentence speaks volumes.
I still have the nightmares, too, and wake up screaming for Jesus to help me. Nobody knows what we go through but those who've endured the same. God bless and keep you.
My father was also a sociopath. Although I understood the painful cause of it, that did NOT excuse his behaviours. He was rarely physically violent, but his psychological abuse and manipulations made me detest him. Thank God, I learned my behaviours from my mother, who was very compassionate and accepting.
Good advice.
I find this interview a gift! Anyone that has experienced severe trauma, or does work, or wants to know more about subtle behaviours or coping mechanisms displayed by many of us, victims of severe trauma. Thank you Collier Landry, you displayed an amazing courage as a child and young man. Your insights have helped me profoundly.
Collier's YT channel/podcast is amazing. He's an open book and truly does go through things he hasn't heard, opened, read before, together with his subs. Seeing it reinforces that it is a journey that takes a lifetime. He is an inspiration for those who feel they can't get through or hold on after a tragedy. Thank you for sharing your story, Collier.
I remember watching Collier’s testimony. He was so well spoken, intelligent, transparent and innocent. No child should have had to go through this. 😔💛🌻
Props to the school too for providing a safe place.

What you can do is help others..... BIGTIME..... and that also helps you even further!!!! Life is too short for this evil in people affecting good ppl, and love ❤️ is the answer!!!! MY father did the same tactic of scaring me into numbness and also lied about being in Vietnam ..... this is so weird..... God bless you is all I know to say bc ridding yourself of these moments is a miracle. ..... he also had the girlfriends he made me go to Oklahoma with him and her for a month on my mother's bday, leaving her 8Mos pregnant.... then she had to choke him to save her own life when we got back with her 9 mo pregnant, and he was gone to jail. He got right back out in a month and forced us to move to another state.... now he works for NASA indirectly..... always made over 100,000 a year...... spent it all on drugs. .....I could keep going forever . ...... maybe I need to start doing UA-cam AND MAYBE LATER TED TALKS ......I NEED TO WRITE A BOOK.

The rejection of the mother's family is complicit.
Collier, you are beyond amazing. You deserve to be surrounded only by love and support. You are a credit to yourself, and your beautiful Mum. I wish you healing, along with every success in life. You truly give humanity a good name, despite all you've been through xx ❤️
This young man is still tormented. His eyes show everything.
His beautiful eyes of sadness. Losing your mother in that way by your father is forever imprinted in his psyche. Then the complete abandonment by both sides of the family.
I can't believe that no one in his family stepped up to take him in. What absolute monsters. Even if he looked like his father and killed my sister I'd still take him in as a sense of duty 1) because he just lost his mother in the worst way 2) because he has to life on fear for so long and 3) he was brave enough to get justice. He is better with out them tbh
Or because he was FAMILY????
There are many families which do not come to the rescue of related children. Probably each branch of the family, for it`s own reasons. That is when unrelated people step up, and if the child is fortunate, those unrelated by blood, actually become their new and better family. I wish it always worked in the positive. It worked in the positive for me, which is why I am responding. Your comment was valid and admirable. It is obvious that you are a good person.
H
On
😊ooooo good 😮
It's actually a really sad reality. In my experience on the street, it was all abused kids who nobody wanted to take in or even look at. I don't think this will get better in our lifetime, but hopefully empathy and community become important again one day.
And because that was your sisters everything it makes no sense to toss the child your sister loved more than anything away like garbage
You are without a doubt the bravest little boy, the bravest person I have ever seen. What an amazing man you are. You certainly vindicated your mother that's for sure. I'm sure she is so proud of you.

The courage and resilience shown here really does put into perspective how utterly rediculous the young people today are in general, what with so many kids coming out of highschool screaming and crying about PTSD because some kids were bullies to them.
Yeah. I spent 3 years in Vietnam where I was ultimately grievously wounded ...

Collier, im so proud of you in spite of the horrific ordeal you endured, you became a handsome, inspiring intelligent role model for other survivors of domestic violence. So so proud of you for the man that you are. Sending you so much love from South Africa.
Collier is so right about other people's reactions. My mother killed my step father when i was 13, and for a long time I was tarred as someone who might do the same by people who knew.
Unfortunately most people do not understand that genes do not control your heart and mind. Everyone has personal choice and responsibility regardless of thier past or parents or upbringing. We can use our past as an excuse for evil or for good. Its extremely unfair to judge anyone based on someone else's actions.
Ezekiel 18:20
"... The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
😢so sorry 💔
I get you in a way. As a survivor of human trafficking (for most of my life from childhood to my early twenties) my life is assumed a bummer- to me, it was just my experience. But people's projections very much lead to, if they know, that I'm not "worth it." So much so that my husband's father, a highly respected police officer, told him that people who've gone through what I did just aren't worth it. People may not assume I'm gonna hurt others, but I'm very much a "sacrifice that's worth it" to a lot of people. So gotta work 5x as hard to be successful. Especially when I didn't learn much about real life until I was 21.
@@AliciaGuitar how fitting , this healing scripture is a balm & you obviously a servant taking time to share it - Hope God blesses protects you even more . 🌹
@@britsaunders2151 chin up be born again by the renewing of your mind ... oh I'm rootin for you & those tarnished with being lumped together like you were.
My heart goes goes out to Collier. What presence of mind at such a young age. I am so sorry that this happened to him.
I'm sorry , too. I am so grateful that he is as kind as he is.
If the investigator didn’t take him seriously, this could have gone very badly for him. The father would have made him disappear. His love for his mom is a testament to the bond they had. ❤
He was carrying the weight of the world without any realization of his own pain. He was so smart to investigate on his own. Love this guy.
I'm SOOOO Sorry you mom's family rejected you , that makes me sick . I'm glad to know you're using your experience to serve others ,you're an amazing example of Victory over victim hood
You're so generous with your mom's family I hope one day they ask forgiveness cuz IMO there's no excuse
Yay. Collier is a survivor. He is so positive. He doesn't complain or whine. I am proud of him.
My heart is broken over you Collier. My son-in-law
was sexually abused by his
mother as a very young
child, also sbused by the
step-father. Alot of problems are still there
because of what he went
through. Thought I had
heard the worse, but my
heart bleeds for you even
more. I pray that you have
experienced some kind of
peace despite your
horrible experience. I
pray that you will
experience much love
from others...and be
able to experience real
acceptance. Sounds like
you already have people
who care for you very
deeply. You are a miracle.
Much love to you, Collier.
Well done Collier for fighting for your mom. Shame on all the family who abandoned you.
This guy is so smart and brave...you were one step ahead of your dad at every turn...thank goodness. Unbelievable
His intuition saved his life AND got Justice for his mother. Incredible for a child to be able to navigate that situation!
Good for you Andrew for interviewing so well and hardly interrupting….you’re the best❤️
Yay, Andrew. You succeed again. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Andrew, you are a tremendous listener. I have watched some of your podcasts. You are always constant in your respect for your guests.
The best interviews are when the host does not interrupt
I'm glad that the detective took him seriously, so often children aren't believed but the guilty adult is. I haven't heard this story before, will go and look for the channel. Thank you 😊xx
My heart just goes out to you, Collier. No one should have to go through these kinds of experiences, especially a child. You have such a warrior's spirit. ✨✨✨
Great story telling skills, I like the fact that the interviewee did not jump around even when he gets asked a question that would take him a few steps ahead, he says I will get to that. I enjoyed following the story, a very sad and unfortunate situation but glad he made it ok throughout his life and it did not mess him up or turn him into a monster. He’s a great example of how a person can choose to be a decent human being despite having to go through an unbearable circumstance. I pray that you continue to stay well and protected. God bless 🙏
Yes, he has very good interpersonal communication skills with good dialogue.
And as the old saying goes
"Crisis builds Character" he's proof positive of that. That was a heavy load for an 11 year old.
@@geminisunleomoon Yes indeed. I’m still a little concerned if he has truly put this behind him. I know he’s a too grown but some things can stay for a lifetime, like the situation he experienced at that young age. And to not have even the mother’s side family embrace him was even more tragic. I will think of him and his story to pick myself up on days when it seems I can’t move forward. It truly is an inspiring story. Very sad but inspiring in a sense of him overcoming all of that to want to help others with his story. May God continue to watch over him 🙏
Bless this dear man. What a tragedy that at the tender age of 11 he heard his beloved Mum murdered. What a loyal and loving son he is.
He was a very smart boy that grew up to be a very intelligent man. Much respect.
Wow this man has so much courage to go forward in his life. So mature for a young eleven year old boy, I truly hope he does get healing from his podcast. He is giving hope to many victims of crime and their family. Prayers for Collier. What a brave Soul. ❤️🙏🏻
I’m so proud of you. You did something that other children couldn’t do! You are such a brave young man❤
What a powerful reminder that you never know what a person has been through in life. My heart hurts that he went through this, but oh my god, I admire the sheer determination he showed as an 11 year old boy. Amazing.
Hey Andrew! I did CPR on and lost my mom at 21, I still carry that with me. I can’t imagine being 12 and dealing with this, which is so much worse. Keep telling your story- you are not alone and are definitely helping someone you don’t even know.
While it's fair to recognize the hold a narcissist can have on those around them, it is totally disturbing to think of the family members who turned their back on Collier. Seeing a child as anything but a child, especially after losing his parents, is sick, twisted, and heartless. My heart breaks for the boy inside this man.
I will definitely check out the documentary.
The kid was a hero; the man an inspiration.
Andrew, your interviews are so great to watch because you let the person tell their story. You are not interrupting every few moments to get the story you want. You allow the guest to speak their story, as they want to. Thanks for another great episode.
For real though this is the first one I’ve caught of his and I thought it was the guest’s podcast based on how much he spoke I was like oh this is not his wow it’s really let him to talk so refreshing❤
Amazing what an eleven year old kid was so intelligent and perceptive. Awesome record. You are special
Thank you so much for having me on OTE, Andrew! This was a fun interview!
You deserve all blessings and joy. I know that you have courage and intelligence that has guided you through your life. I also know there is part oft the experience that is forever haunting inside the cells of your heart. Take good care of yourself
Excellent interview
Collier … what a lovely young man you are.
You’re an incredibly intelligent and strong man. God bless you
Thank you Collier, not only was that interview utterly riveting but you also shine through as an amazingly brave, intelligent and compassionate person. Your Mom would be so proud
Wow! Lost for words! Strong, smart and emotionally hurting. I'm so happy that what his mom taught him led to solving her murder. May God help him overcome
What an amazing soul he has to maintain not only some semblance of sanity but also to maintain his morality and functionality despite his solitude in such tragedy
Thank god the monster didn't harm Collier too. What an amazing child and man. Wishing him the very best in life - what a horrific thing to happen to him 🙏
Harm. He seriously harmed his son by killing his mother. He harmed Collier probably every chance he got. Emotional harm is deep and confusing and terrifying. No, he didn't kill Collier. I think that is what u mean by not harming Collier. So sad....😢
@@colleenbrady9675 Well yes he was planning to take Collier on a trip to Florida.
I remember seeing this case on an episode of forensic files and I couldn't believe how brave he was as a kid up on the stand. His father was so cold hearted. Glad to see he has become an upstanding young man. God bless him.
🥺🥺🥺... you're an amazing survivor Collier. You were born brilliant and you evoke a world of pain on your shoulders...but you are so much bigger than what your family did to you and your Mother. You're meant to be here with us. I so much appreciate your open and honest retelling of the most incredible child survival story. ❣️
This interview for me was very moving, the fact of knowing your father killed your mother. You did the right thing, you acted out of love for your mother as her advocate and there is no doubt it cost you psychologically. It seems like you were on a rollercoaster trying to prove not only his guilt but the fact that family turned their backs on you. I feel very sad that throughout you were traumatised through no fault of your own and you were let down from the very people who should have be there to support you. I’m soo glad you have worked through the horror of a child who should never have been in this situation. Thank you for sharing and I wish you all the best that life can bring. Xxx
What an absolutely riveting interview for such a heartbreaking story. He was such a smart, intuitive, driven young boy and so selfless. He put his own safety second to finding out what happened to his mother. My heart broke for him and his loss but when he said that his aunt's family didn't want him because he looked like his father, that tore my heart in two. To go through all that with his mother's murder and then be told that? Who could do that to a child?
Kudos to you Andrew for allowing him the space to tell his story without constant questions and interruptions. Again, very riveting and I definitely want to check out the film and Collier's podcast.
How dreadful, his mother's family let her down because without a doubt she would have wanted her son to be loved and cared for by them. Quite shameful that they behaved so cold-hearted towards him.
@@nikkioshea4139 Your own callous, sanctimonious judgement against these victims of their sister's horrific abuse and murder is precisely what is utter crap about the gossip internet swamp. Every princessy peanut in the gallery has direct access to smear, 'splain, second-guess, insult, and re-victimize them with their own vainglorious ignorance. Utterly shameful comment from you.
It is heartbreaking and tragic. They knew what a monster his father was, and had been helpless to save his mother from him. There is no doubt whatsoever that he had targeted her family as well, that is fundamentally how narcissistic abusers operate. They were most certainly afraid of him.
While anyone would certainly hope that they could have taken him and his sister in to raise them in the security of family, they knew that they could not do that. Of course it is an injury to his 11yo self. It would also be an injury to affect him in their grief and fear. They were honest about their own inability to cope with this horror inflicted on them all by this murderer. It was an impossible situation all around.
@@barbarakauppi9915 If that was the reason, thatf tgeyh couldn't cope with thd grief then thatf would be different. Yet he was told, he says so himself that his aunt said she would not take him, he reminded them too much of his father. For that reason they didn't take him. That is going by this particular interview. They were adults, he a lone child, the shame is all theirs. He and his Mother were the victims.
This is the first time I've visited this channel and heard this story, and I'm sitting here at work heartbroken and trying not to cry!!!! I just can't even ....may God bless him and keep him always!!!!!!! And huge respect to this interviewer for his respect in allowing this man to talk without interruptions.
What film
This was so wonderful to see this interview with Collier. I was a RN acquainted and worked with Dr. Boyle in the ER in Mansfield when the murder took place. The staff was in complete shock. He was the last person one could imagine to commit such a heinous act! Collier quickly became a hero. (As I remember) during the trial he was praised for his poise, intelligence, and portrayed a maturity beyond his years. It was so interesting to hear his life’s journey and his determination to turn a horrendous experience of loss, grief, and betrayal into something positive for other survivors. Thank you, Andrew❤
I remember my sister telling me about this event,she worked for this Dr and couldn't believe he had done this,she said he was a nice man and loved working for him.That goes to show you never really know a person at all, looks can be deceiving
His bravery, initiative, and proactive action to get justice for his mother and strength at such a young age is awe inspiring. Amazing.
I also LOVE how much detail he gives in telling his story. Such a great narrator of his own stoey
Andrew I’m so impressed with you and ur whole demeanor and reception of Collier. He is such a special human being. I can still see that courageous and sweet little boy giving his testimony.
You are so kind
Now this is the Andrew Gold I signed up for. Unknown guest, not a celebrity, amazing story, amazing person. Thank you.
Amazing interview. His mother would be so proud. He was such a smart,loyal child and now a great man.
I didn''t know Andrew Gold and came across this UA-cam Channel. I am still in the listening stages, but I wanted to stop and make a comment, that I am so proud of him. The Strength he had to muster up while Doing it Scared showed the strong warrior inside. What a super kid he was and the Man to continue reaching for the Brass Rings in Life. His Mother's gift to him was the treasure of good advice. I can relate on certain levels of baring great fear in the early family home. He was marvelously intelligent, intuitive, analytical, and very clever in his mission. He will always be unique and carry the emotional scar from that early life battle. Surely he became a man with an iron determination and conviction to right that which is wrong in life. He really is a modern-day Knight. His Mother put her trust in him and he carried out the mission to get Justice for her. What a Hero. 💜 He's just wonderful!
The rejection from his mother’s family was absolutely disgusting. I cant believe the rejection from Colliers mothers family. That was so egregious to do to child after all he had been through. It infuriates me for him bc I went through something very similar in my very abusive toxic family of origin whom I went no contact from over 20 years ago.
That part really got to me too. Just heartbreaking. It's like him and his mother had a lake of toxicity around them. What a brave soul and heart.
In hindsight it was probably better for him. There was a reason why Colliers mom wasn't close to her own mom & instead clung to her mom inlaw.
P I’ll I go I ok I o po o ❤
@@michelleschmidt2138 as
I’m sure it was a contributing factor to the dv becoming fatal. Isolation is a tactic. Family of the victim doing nothing or blaming her , or penalizing her for showing “dirty laundry “ is like a green light for a sociopathic abuser.
This just broke my heart - I wish someone who loved his mother would have loved him deeply. An amazing boy his mother raised, and what an amazing man he became. The story could have ended much worse.
His father “wondering” where his mom was was not strange at all. He was trying to make his son believe he loved his mom. The father didn’t count on his son being as sharp as he is!
What a remarkable kid was Collier now a brave and vital adult - inspired and shaped obviously, by his brilliant mother. Her legacy lives on.
