I think that was more the way EWU decided to phrase that. If someone learns their brother, brother's wife and all their children except one were murdered it seems like a completely normal reaction to be eager to take in the remaining child. You can't do anything to bring back your loved ones but the kid is the one family member that you CAN actually help.
If he would've been innocent, his interest could've just been out of fear his niece ends elsewhere and the missing foot prints would've just meant that the person knew of her whereabouts. I thought it was him, but knew it as he left his wife.
A year in Juvie for living in a family's walls, harassing them, attempting to kill them, or the father atleast. Big shocker he got out and murdered those people.
@@whitedragoness23 What were they supposed to do? Give him life for a crime that doesn't deserve a life sentence? I mean obviously a year was a slap on the wrist and he should have gotten more time, but locking him up and throwing away the key would have been unjust also.

There was no reference to an evaluation. But considering, it’s most certainly so that he did get eval’d as “unfit”. Further, psychotropic drugs make people do weird things, and have no memory of it.

@@alexanderiono6931 It’s interesting that you attempt challenge and to dispute my fact based , heavily researched, conclusions about how bad psyche drugs are. Yet, you provide no facts.

Brenda Lin graduated from the University of Sydney in October 2017. She lost a family, shared a home with the man who killed her family and was sexually abused by her parent’s killer but despite all this, she came up as a survivor and stands strong to this day.
It wasn't just his obsession with Brenda that was the motive for killing the family. It was jealousy that their business was successful and Roberts failed. He wanted the girl and the business. Sick bastard.
What disturbs me is her wife, kathy. Apparently she stood by his husband's side claiming their victims and he's innocent! He fckin killed her brother. She watched her parents mourn her brother. Unfilial!

I am 5'8" and was always considered very tall when I was a kid in the 60s - not so now... I have a niece who is nearly 6 feet tall! So your height stays the same but you also get shorter!
Doesn't Matter I can tell you for sure that as you grow old (I’m 67) you lose height! I knew my mom seemed to be shorter but I’m shocked that I’m shocked as I’ve gone from five five & a half to five three!
I SO hear you! We have concrete slab (no basement) and solid walls (only a mouse could live in them), but we have a crawl space between the ceiling and roof. The only access from it into the house is blocked. By my design. LOL
So the guy brutally murdered an entire family with a hammer to adopt his niece to abuse her. And even with overwhelming evidence, they needed 4 trials and the jury almost got him free? Wtf someone needs to do to be condemned?
The McStay family is so tragic, but I’m glad it was solved at all- I had this terrible feeling when we first heard about it that it was something that was just going to go unsolved forever and no one would ever find these people. 😭 Obviously wish it had a better end, but I’m glad that at least the crime was solved.
In the first case, the fact that Robert suggested adopting Brenda so quick after the news broke isn't suspicious imo. If my brother had a kid and he and his gf were both gone, you bet your ass my first thought would be adopting their kid because they'd be left all alone and would need someone to take care of them.
But then it's a bit different because he is your brother, in this case Brenda is his wife's niece not his own niece. I don't mean ppl wouldn't adopt a kid in this case right away but it's kinda weird he is the first one who do it before his wife make it suspicious
Assumedly, if a person discovered their spouse’s family murdered, you’d think the person would be overcome with grief, shock, etc. ... Not already trying to figure out living arrangements for the sole surviving family member who was miles away on a school trip. We’re human and it takes time to process things. Eventually, the conversation would be had regarding where Brenda should live, but jumping to that so quickly and adamantly “staking claim” of her is sus af.
Regarding the last story,the person responsible for giving him freedom,to then go on to kill a pregnant woman and her children,is as guilty as the murderer !!! They would still be alive today. 😭😭😭😭
No single person was responsible for his freedom. It's systemic, and applies to everyone under the US federal government. If convicted of a crime, and sentenced to be released after a certain amount of time, that is what happens. There is no psychology delegation of people thrown in jail for crimes not punishable by life. We can't punish people based on our feelings about a a person. Only their actions. Predicting people's future actions isn't a card that can be played, at any point, in professionalism. You can only ascertain what has been accomplished. There is no such a thing as a "thought police".
@@MengusDew do some research on the PCLR checklist . We can predict future behavior . attempted murder warrants longer than a year behind bars . He should have been evaluated for psychopathy and they would have found that he was unfit to be released .
There use to be a time when I believed that if you lived your life a certain way, you could avoid trouble and violence and crazy people. But then I turned 13 and for some reason life bitch slapped the shit out of me and snapped me right out of that thinking
I couldn’t imagine being Brenda, may have saved her life but she lost her entire family🥺 I couldn’t live knowing my siblings, parents and aunt were gruesomely murdered
I wonder how Cathy felt knowing that her husband killed her entire family , and was rapeing his niece. She must feel awful knowing that she brought that monster into their life.
There is another documentary totally dedicated to this story that shows his "room" and pictures of how he got around in the walls. I'm almost positive it was an ID (investigation discovery) show but I can't remember what series it was from. If you search the name of the guy you should be able to find it.
The house was of the older variety, IIRC, where there were crawlspaces for maintenance and such. Like you seen in the movies sometimes, I think? It's a somewhat confusing part of American architecture.
As for the Daniel case... I hadn't heard how this began. I had heard the story before, I think from MrBallen... but I agree that it's ridiculous that NOTHING happened to him after doing that shit to the girls. And what's the explanation behind him just randomly phoning the girl?? Did he see her name in her mother's obituary?? YIKES.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning when new EWU videos are posted!! And Raven's voice....the ultimate de-stresser! Thank you for the amazing content guys
Rather than 15-year old Annie "should" have paid more attention to Brian's (a stranger's) phone calls, perhaps it would be more apt to say that an older teen girl (as in 17 - 19) might have questioned it more.
Haven't seen anyone else mention this so, it's very cool that you guys caption all your videos and do so in detail, I personally don't need the captions but i'm sure it's extremely helpful for anyone who does, and should be more normalized on youtube!
Okay so that last case was the creepiest thing I have ever seen... He was a real life demented villain from horror stories... Reminds me of that case of the German farm where they had the killer living in the attic.... Seriously, nothing is creepier than that stuff, what led him to be like that...
It was clear from the way they talked about Robert from the start it was him. It was disgusting she was placed with the killer who kept assaulting her after the crime.
I laughed out loud when he said that. He isn't wrong,lol. I can't believe that creep was living in the walls,he is definitely a psychopath. Glad he is in prison,but so sad he killed that family.
brenda is truly stunning, she is so strong and open about this incident, despite everything that happened in her past, it just proves how well her parents raised her, i bet they would very proud of their daughter
Because the girl went to live there so they could do it for her protection being that her family just got killed. If she didnt go to his house they couldnt had done it
I’m assuming it’s something about an investigation into a murder, the police were REALLY wanting to find him so by any means necessary I guess. I’m glad they did it in retrospect
I WISH someone would solve the case of Suzanne Lyall. I grew up and went to school with her. She went missing in 1998. It has been 26 years. Her mother is still living, but her father has passed away. It has always been on the back of my mind. She just disappeared without a trace!
I grew up in Massachusetts hearing stories about the man who lived in the walls. I was told a bunch of messed up stories about this state growing up, some true and some not true. I could never find anything online about this and nobody I asked had heard about it. I thought maybe it was a game of telephone so some details were wrong or it wasn't true. This video just gave me closure. Lol As a child in the early 2000's this one sounded like an urban legend meant to scare teenagers who wanted to date strangers online. That was a new concept at the time. Blood on the walls lead to a man living in the walls being found with an axe in a dress, but nobody I asked had heard of this? Sounds fake but okay. I can't believe this was true. Kind of mad that it is tbh, this story is messed up...
I've been loving your content, these videos are extremely well done. The captions are brilliant as well, my mother is hard of hearing and I showed her one of your videos without having to use the awful auto generated UA-cam captions. Keep it up my friends.👍
If I was a victim of the last case I would've lost my shit, I can't even imagine the fear the family experienced during that incident, what's more scary is that he could've kill them at any time he wanted in their sleep
Yay!! I'm tucked in.. and I get this... That terrible story, how can someone just wipe out a whole family, how twisted!! Poor Brenda.. I can't imagine the pain they went through
You have to be delusional to think that after lying about your appearance and showing joy in someone's mom's suffering before death on a first date would lead to a second date.
The last case I saw from true crime doc from tv and it really freaked me out. Dad of the girls didint first believe them when they told that bizarre things happened in house, even when they were waiting outside the house on the night the dad found that monster in his dead wife's dress. It made me sad to think how badly things could have turned out for them.
Wow, it's legal to put a hidden camera in a citizens residence in Australia? Glad they caught the killer,but in america that would be definitely illegal
@@roxywhite1936 Yes I thought about them going to court to get the ability to do that,I dont know the laws in Australia, I don't believe its typical in America though. There was a famous missing child case in America where they suspected the parents wiretapped the home in the 80s or 90s and came up with convoluted evidence, that didn't prove their guilt
If it’s into a possible suspect of a murder case, then I guess I could see it being something like “no limits” “ find this killer no matter what” type of deal But I could see this being abused too, I hope there’s someone like a lawyer dedicated to this. Deciding if it’s ok or not.

I lived in Fallbrook CA from 2007-2010....this family lived about 2 miles from my house. This really rocked the whole town. The Marine Corps Base even sent Marines out to help search for the family.
I live in Victorville I will never forget the day that dirtbiker found the skull we actually know him he’s a really good family friend he still talks about it to this day it really bothered him so tragic
First two reminded me of a case from France. The entire family disappeared; father, mother (who was severely ill and on machines, at home) and two rather adult children, students. Even two of their dogs, with food for them still in the bowls. Their disappearance was reported late. When the police came, at first they found literally nothing. Despite the thorough search. They only noticed that all the family cars were there except the father's and there was a rifle missing from the house. Upon new search, one of the investigators noticed that the area where dogs were kept was unusually clean; not even dog traces in the dirt. When stepped there, it was clear there was something a bit elastic covering a hole. And there it was, a large board, covering a hole where all the family members were, dead and wrapped in plastic bags. Even the dogs. But not the father. And it resembled an actual burrial ground since there were some religious objects like crosses and angel figurines. Even some flowers, I think. So, the focus was turned to finding the father... He was caught by a speeding camera and they realized he was a family killer and headed to a place that meant something for his family, with that rifle (which was a murder weapon) which in 98% of the cases like this means one thing... Oh, but the chilling twist in the end! Unbelievable!
It’s said the reason that Laplante seemed to get such a light sentence to everyone is not what it seems. He actually jumped bail. The reason that he was even able to post bail was because they decided to try him as an adult in the home invasion that put him in there.
A author had written a book and accused Summer of killing her husband and running to Mexico with the kids. He had said it was just a matter of time when his story would be confirmed. So this of course he had to backpeddle and then pay the family of the McStay's for accusing Summer of something she didn't do. Also Chase had been embezzling from the company. He had put his name on the account and would access it to pay for his gambling debt. Eventually Joe had found out about it and was just about to report it to the police when Chase attacked him and the family. He had then stolen more money from the company and then accused their other co-worker who was in Hawaii at the time (had been for a month a think to do some work for the company). Dan the other co-worker was allowed to access the accounts to pay business expenses. There was no evidence to prove that Dan had killed the family, yet at Chase's trial that ia who they accused did the crime. Chase also had his phone with him at the time of the murders as it had pinged off the towers near the burial site.
@@mikemurphy6152 easy if you threaten someone enough but cannot be seen by others, it is easy to make people do what you want them to do without struggle. That probably would have been shooting the child if either parent did anything. Now that is just a potential observation. If the parents keep the child as calm as possible at the same time follow orders, then it will look like no struggle occurred
@@SapphirasMama Ya you make sense. Im looking at it as if it was me and I cant do that..For me the killer pulling a gun and wants us all In the car I kinda feel like I know he is taking us somewhere else to kill us so for me trying to do something before getting in the car seems like the only logical thing to try and do. Now if the killer came in and pistol whipped me that's a totally different story.
@@mikemurphy6152 well pistol whipping may still show a struggle. Having them pull out a gun, say "do as I say or the kid gets it" and most likely both parents would have complied. Imagine something you hold so dear in your life but if you show any sign of distress to the outside world (scream, struggle, fight, etc) and you know they are serious (for all we know the guy picked the kid up as a hello and held a gun to the kid when they were inside ), then you know that there is no way you would cause anything to happen cause that item/person/animal has value to you

So the guy brutally murdered an entire family with a hammer to adopt his niece to abuse her. And even with overwhelming evidence, they needed 4 trials and the jury almost got him free? Wtf someone needs to do to be condemned?
Obviously you don't know how jury's work not criminal trials
Rest in peace to all the innocent lives lost ❤🙏🏽
Is there really such a thing as an innocent human? I think not!!
@@murphdirrtkitty2334 sorry, by innocent I mean like people who aren't murderers, rapist, abusers, things like that. Not perfect people.
Please create a video on my dear friend, Carla Valpeoz. She went missing abroad in 2018. Thank you.
I also do true crime if you want to check it out, do you have more info on this case?
@@truecrimewithbonnie6635 please stick with it! These stories need to be told and I like your videos❤👍🏾
The McStay family is so tragic, but I’m glad it was solved at all- I had this terrible feeling when we first heard about it that it was something that was just going to go unsolved forever and no one would ever find these people. 😭 Obviously wish it had a better end, but I’m glad that at least the crime was solved.
In the first case, the fact that Robert suggested adopting Brenda so quick after the news broke isn't suspicious imo. If my brother had a kid and he and his gf were both gone, you bet your ass my first thought would be adopting their kid because they'd be left all alone and would need someone to take care of them.
But then it's a bit different because he is your brother, in this case Brenda is his wife's niece not his own niece. I don't mean ppl wouldn't adopt a kid in this case right away but it's kinda weird he is the first one who do it before his wife make it suspicious
Assumedly, if a person discovered their spouse’s family murdered, you’d think the person would be overcome with grief, shock, etc. ... Not already trying to figure out living arrangements for the sole surviving family member who was miles away on a school trip. We’re human and it takes time to process things. Eventually, the conversation would be had regarding where Brenda should live, but jumping to that so quickly and adamantly “staking claim” of her is sus af.
I'm guessing it was more of the way he said it and the creep-vibe he was probably giving off that made police take notice...
you just said "sus"" unironically and you think anyone should listen to you? maybe that internet psychology degree was a waste of money.
Not necessarily on its own, but combined with a few more otherwise unsuspicious behaviours can add up to meaning no good. 😑🍍
It’s pretty cool that Optimus Prime took a break from fighting Decepticons to narrate short true crime documentaries
Regarding the last story,the person responsible for giving him freedom,to then go on to kill a pregnant woman and her children,is as guilty as the murderer !!! They would still be alive today. 😭😭😭😭
No single person was responsible for his freedom. It's systemic, and applies to everyone under the US federal government. If convicted of a crime, and sentenced to be released after a certain amount of time, that is what happens. There is no psychology delegation of people thrown in jail for crimes not punishable by life. We can't punish people based on our feelings about a a person. Only their actions. Predicting people's future actions isn't a card that can be played, at any point, in professionalism. You can only ascertain what has been accomplished. There is no such a thing as a "thought police".
@@MengusDew there definitely are “thought police”. Luckily you can avoid them entirely by never going on Twitter lmao
@@MengusDew do some research on the PCLR checklist . We can predict future behavior . attempted murder warrants longer than a year behind bars . He should have been evaluated for psychopathy and they would have found that he was unfit to be released .
The mcstay family case is so heartbreaking😢
The evil POS that murdered them has been given the death penalty . Good riddens .
And the orther cases are not?..... 😐All the mentioned cases is Heartbreaking...

@Free Spirit It is better, thank you for caring. I appreciate that
I couldn’t imagine being Brenda, may have saved her life but she lost her entire family🥺 I couldn’t live knowing my siblings, parents and aunt were gruesomely murdered
And then to be put in your attackers care to be raped viciously over and over makes my heart break for her.
I wonder how Cathy felt knowing that her husband killed her entire family , and was rapeing his niece. She must feel awful knowing that she brought that monster into their life.
Brenda is such a remarkably strong person. I can't imagine how hard her life has been.
I wish there were pictures of the "walls" that he had been living in...
Same
There is another documentary totally dedicated to this story that shows his "room" and pictures of how he got around in the walls. I'm almost positive it was an ID (investigation discovery) show but I can't remember what series it was from. If you search the name of the guy you should be able to find it.
They were regular house walls. He moved around in the space in-between the stud and the dry wall
Same. I was confused.
The house was of the older variety, IIRC, where there were crawlspaces for maintenance and such. Like you seen in the movies sometimes, I think? It's a somewhat confusing part of American architecture.
I couldn’t imagine finding out someone was living in walls😱😱
The most terrifying and violating thing
Don't worry, I stay in the cabinet under the your sink...
@@dacritter8397 😵💫
This is why I'd prefer living in an apartment rather than a house. Scary.
Reminded me of the movie The Boy
As for the Daniel case... I hadn't heard how this began. I had heard the story before, I think from MrBallen... but I agree that it's ridiculous that NOTHING happened to him after doing that shit to the girls. And what's the explanation behind him just randomly phoning the girl?? Did he see her name in her mother's obituary?? YIKES.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning when new EWU videos are posted!! And Raven's voice....the ultimate de-stresser! Thank you for the amazing content guys
Rather than 15-year old Annie "should" have paid more attention to Brian's (a stranger's) phone calls, perhaps it would be more apt to say that an older teen girl (as in 17 - 19) might have questioned it more.
Haven't seen anyone else mention this so, it's very cool that you guys caption all your videos and do so in detail, I personally don't need the captions but i'm sure it's extremely helpful for anyone who does, and should be more normalized on youtube!
Okay so that last case was the creepiest thing I have ever seen... He was a real life demented villain from horror stories... Reminds me of that case of the German farm where they had the killer living in the attic.... Seriously, nothing is creepier than that stuff, what led him to be like that...
It was clear from the way they talked about Robert from the start it was him. It was disgusting she was placed with the killer who kept assaulting her after the crime.
I'm sick of this life in prison bs. Get rid of these monsters...why should we waste time and money taking care of them.
100%!!!
After a good workout time to relax and watch EWU crew 🖤🐺💙❤
Go harder
Great job 👏
"I mean, if anyone is going to follow that trajectory, it's gonna be the guy who lived in someone's walls"
I laughed out loud when he said that. He isn't wrong,lol.
I can't believe that creep was living in the walls,he is definitely a psychopath. Glad he is in prison,but so sad he killed that family.
This is my favorite channel!!!!
You guys made my birthday liking and hearting my comment you guys are awesome and your family got me into watching UA-cam as a whole!!!

I wake up in the middle of the night to watch this .
Totally awesome and grand .

brenda is truly stunning, she is so strong and open about this incident, despite everything that happened in her past, it just proves how well her parents raised her, i bet they would very proud of their daughter

Right? 👍
Yesssss!!
@@amandawear7046 yesss😂👍

Can’t wait for Part 2 of the Andes crash video 👍
Me toooo omg
Saw these stories a few times on UA-cam already but still watched cuz I love the EWU crew!
I think I can speak for all Australians. Brenda Lin is my hero. We love you Brenda.
On the first story, I’m confused how police had the power to put a camera in the murderer’s house and get DNA from his house without a warrant
It happened in Australia, not the USA. Different laws there I guess
Because the girl went to live there so they could do it for her protection being that her family just got killed. If she didnt go to his house they couldnt had done it
I’m assuming it’s something about an investigation into a murder, the police were REALLY wanting to find him so by any means necessary I guess. I’m glad they did it in retrospect
@@youllneverknowmebecausethi5286 Tell me the applicable laws are don’t bother commenting something so useless 🤣
I WISH someone would solve the case of Suzanne Lyall. I grew up and went to school with her. She went missing in 1998. It has been 26 years. Her mother is still living, but her father has passed away. It has always been on the back of my mind. She just disappeared without a trace!
I grew up in Massachusetts hearing stories about the man who lived in the walls. I was told a bunch of messed up stories about this state growing up, some true and some not true. I could never find anything online about this and nobody I asked had heard about it. I thought maybe it was a game of telephone so some details were wrong or it wasn't true. This video just gave me closure. Lol As a child in the early 2000's this one sounded like an urban legend meant to scare teenagers who wanted to date strangers online. That was a new concept at the time. Blood on the walls lead to a man living in the walls being found with an axe in a dress, but nobody I asked had heard of this? Sounds fake but okay. I can't believe this was true. Kind of mad that it is tbh, this story is messed up...
As someone with family in peppered and Townsend I WAS SHOOOOOK to hear that but have never been told about it.

I've been loving your content, these videos are extremely well done. The captions are brilliant as well, my mother is hard of hearing and I showed her one of your videos without having to use the awful auto generated UA-cam captions. Keep it up my friends.👍
Hi
If I was a victim of the last case I would've lost my shit, I can't even imagine the fear the family experienced during that incident, what's more scary is that he could've kill them at any time he wanted in their sleep
I get compliments all the time on my deep, unique voice. But my God, dude...your voice is straight out of a 60 Minutes episode!
Yay!! I'm tucked in.. and I get this...
That terrible story, how can someone just wipe out a whole family, how twisted!! Poor Brenda.. I can't imagine the pain they went through
Hope all is well with everyone 🙏🏾✌🏾❤️

You have to be delusional to think that after lying about your appearance and showing joy in someone's mom's suffering before death on a first date would lead to a second date.

@@cw6621 He's a troll. No worries. 🙂
The last case I saw from true crime doc from tv and it really freaked me out. Dad of the girls didint first believe them when they told that bizarre things happened in house, even when they were waiting outside the house on the night the dad found that monster in his dead wife's dress. It made me sad to think how badly things could have turned out for them.
Wow, it's legal to put a hidden camera in a citizens residence in Australia? Glad they caught the killer,but in america that would be definitely illegal
I’m pretty sure if they had probable cause and a judges order they could. Don’t quote me on that tho.
@@roxywhite1936 Yes I thought about them going to court to get the ability to do that,I dont know the laws in Australia, I don't believe its typical in America though. There was a famous missing child case in America where they suspected the parents wiretapped the home in the 80s or 90s and came up with convoluted evidence, that didn't prove their guilt
@ Definitely the case in the US or the case would be thrown out
With probable cause they can do that.
If it’s into a possible suspect of a murder case, then I guess I could see it being something like “no limits” “ find this killer no matter what” type of deal
But I could see this being abused too, I hope there’s someone like a lawyer dedicated to this. Deciding if it’s ok or not.
Spending the night binge watching your video's, my absolute favorite video's are the follow up solved case's video's. Love this channel and thank you for all your hard work putting these video's together for us! 😃👍
So glad I found you guys on fb during lockdown. You keep my mind occupied whilst dealing with stage 4a cancer thank you for that

I lived in Fallbrook CA from 2007-2010....this family lived about 2 miles from my house. This really rocked the whole town. The Marine Corps Base even sent Marines out to help search for the family.
Yay EUW crew back much love my friends
Dude, I love your voice! Could listen to you all day.
I live in Victorville I will never forget the day that dirtbiker found the skull we actually know him he’s a really good family friend he still talks about it to this day it really bothered him so tragic
someone above commented that it’s her uncle.
Truth be told I just love your voice ,you make the story narration the most interesting and not boring. Love ya
First two reminded me of a case from France. The entire family disappeared; father, mother (who was severely ill and on machines, at home) and two rather adult children, students. Even two of their dogs, with food for them still in the bowls. Their disappearance was reported late. When the police came, at first they found literally nothing. Despite the thorough search. They only noticed that all the family cars were there except the father's and there was a rifle missing from the house. Upon new search, one of the investigators noticed that the area where dogs were kept was unusually clean; not even dog traces in the dirt. When stepped there, it was clear there was something a bit elastic covering a hole. And there it was, a large board, covering a hole where all the family members were, dead and wrapped in plastic bags. Even the dogs. But not the father. And it resembled an actual burrial ground since there were some religious objects like crosses and angel figurines. Even some flowers, I think.
So, the focus was turned to finding the father... He was caught by a speeding camera and they realized he was a family killer and headed to a place that meant something for his family, with that rifle (which was a murder weapon) which in 98% of the cases like this means one thing...
Oh, but the chilling twist in the end! Unbelievable!
I could listen to this man read the dictionary.
When he said Daniel Laplante wasn't tall, but only 5'8. I cried a lil inside cause I'm only 5'4
Wow, third story should be made into a movie!!
There is a movie called BAD RONALD about the same story.
Watch the movie “Housebound”
Thanks guys, will check them out.
Mike and EWU posting all in one day?! Woot woot!!!
I know, what a happy binge ♥️
Omg, that last one freaked me out. 😱
Love it when ewu crew adds crimes from my country Australia to this channel i'm very familiar with the first story and the shocking conclusion 👍
It’s said the reason that Laplante seemed to get such a light sentence to everyone is not what it seems. He actually jumped bail. The reason that he was even able to post bail was because they decided to try him as an adult in the home invasion that put him in there.
A author had written a book and accused Summer of killing her husband and running to Mexico with the kids. He had said it was just a matter of time when his story would be confirmed. So this of course he had to backpeddle and then pay the family of the McStay's for accusing Summer of something she didn't do.
Also Chase had been embezzling from the company. He had put his name on the account and would access it to pay for his gambling debt. Eventually Joe had found out about it and was just about to report it to the police when Chase attacked him and the family. He had then stolen more money from the company and then accused their other co-worker who was in Hawaii at the time (had been for a month a think to do some work for the company). Dan the other co-worker was allowed to access the accounts to pay business expenses. There was no evidence to prove that Dan had killed the family, yet at Chase's trial that ia who they accused did the crime. Chase also had his phone with him at the time of the murders as it had pinged off the towers near the burial site.
So you seem to know a little bit about this but do you have any clue how he got them all in the car without signs of a struggle?
@@mikemurphy6152 easy if you threaten someone enough but cannot be seen by others, it is easy to make people do what you want them to do without struggle. That probably would have been shooting the child if either parent did anything. Now that is just a potential observation. If the parents keep the child as calm as possible at the same time follow orders, then it will look like no struggle occurred
@@SapphirasMama Ya you make sense. Im looking at it as if it was me and I cant do that..For me the killer pulling a gun and wants us all In the car I kinda feel like I know he is taking us somewhere else to kill us so for me trying to do something before getting in the car seems like the only logical thing to try and do. Now if the killer came in and pistol whipped me that's a totally different story.
Thank you for replying tho because your answer did make me reconsider and think about it a little more
@@mikemurphy6152 well pistol whipping may still show a struggle. Having them pull out a gun, say "do as I say or the kid gets it" and most likely both parents would have complied. Imagine something you hold so dear in your life but if you show any sign of distress to the outside world (scream, struggle, fight, etc) and you know they are serious (for all we know the guy picked the kid up as a hello and held a gun to the kid when they were inside ), then you know that there is no way you would cause anything to happen cause that item/person/animal has value to you
“Food was discovered on the counters, just left where it was dropped… and it was now rotten…” not such a red flag, sounds like my twenty yr old daughter house sitting for me while I am away…
Along with dust on the window sills
Yeah that cancel out the they left to go across the border theory …
Immediately I suspected Robert, especially since he was SO eager to adopt Brenda.
What about Andes crash chapter 2
