  • 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.

    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.

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.

      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.

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?
