Wow.....the police work in this case appears to be beyond abysmal.
"their spouses had an affair.....no naturally those 2 had a suicide pact. Case closed. Off to the pub."
@@0scar668 no.
😂😂
Makes perfect sense to me! Why spend your last minutes on earth sitting in the car and looking at photos of your loved ones when you could curl up nice and cozy in the dark trunk and stare sightlessly at said photos?
I was thinking the exact same thing. Even before Dr Grande gave the evidence I was like "How tf did the police buy this bullshit?"
The police work was abysmal indeed but at that time Northern Ireland was still a place of horrific violence because of the troubles that I imagine they had so much on their plate during that time that this case wasn’t investigated properly and also because these were all members of this strict church and these 2 killers put on a front that they were people who were decent and God fearing, attending church etc but plenty of people didn’t believe it was a suicide because those who knew Lesley said she would never have left her 4 children, she was such a devoted mother and hazels husband Trevor was a lovely decent man who it’s highly doubtful that he would have left his children either, Trevor’s biggest problem was that he didn’t earn enough to make hazel happy, she was apparently very materialistic
I will never understand people who think murder is a better option over divorce
50 percent of their wealth is a powerful motivator for murder for those who love money.
Death insurance baby! Keep the house the kids etc
I'd be curious to know how many people have gotten away with murders in similar fashion, considering the majority of police departments are just as woefully incompetent as this one was.
Depends how long they can afford to spoil their wives, apparently
Yes, and we do remember that the Irish Garda were dealing with ongoing IRA troubles at the time. I suspect that 'domestic' murders didn't get the manpower. Of course, that's just speculation.
@@floridasoldat 😅
@@barbarajacobs8897 1
@barbara jacobs the Guarda are the police in the republic of ireland. This was in northern ireland.
"Colin was much more efficient at executing his homicidal plan than living with the consequences." So well said!
It's horrible to think of what he did to their spouses, and his patients!!
I know! Jeez, going to the dentist is bad enough at the best of times! I wonder what he was doing to them?
@@loulabelle5082 this is not a humorous matter ...
The lady is equally culpable. Given his later guilt, the whole thing was likely her idea. Women can be psychopaths too. Psychopathic women are extremely manipulative.
Selfish- narcissistic-- ARROGANCE& entitlement!!!! losers
@@nagolhayze9366 oh, ok. Are you also telling Dr Grande not to be sarcastic or to have a sly joke too?
You do know the difference between making a joke to lighten the mood or finding lightness in all this dark and someone saying "oh my god it's so funny that people died and were molested. Can't stop laughing at all the evil"? Please say you know the difference?
Imagine on one hand being a successful Doctor of Dentistry, getting away with murder and other nefarious activity. On the other, still being stupid enough to loose all of your money to an internet scheme
what goes around, comes around. He assumed since he "got away" with multiple murders, he would be lucky finding non-existent gold in the Philly Isles. But he was to stupid to realize it was a scam
People have long worried about post office workers going 'postal'... It seems we should really be worried about this pattern of Dentists going.... well, dental.
🤣😭🤣
"The Dentalist"
I think being so dreaded gets to some of the dentists. I had one who left his wife and 9 kids for an assistant. Another committed suicide one Christmas Eve. A third is meaner than snot to his assistants.
Im not proud of it, but I was dental technician for some years, and met a whole lot of dentists.
All I can say is the dentists who were the ultimate pretty boys, with beautiful wives, and kids,etc................tended to be the biggest wack jobs. Looks really count for zip doodly squat. The things these jackals would get caught doing defy description. Usually very religious.
Oh, an anti-dentite!
If he told her about the murders one year after marriage (and two years after meeting) then she didn’t have children with him at that point. It means she decided to have children with him knowing he had previously killed and wasn’t protecting her children by keeping it secret
They could have been trying to have kids earlier on but weren't able to conceive until later. Also, perhaps she developed a motherly bond with his kids from his first marriage then it would make sense that those were the kids she was trying to protect.
Exactly. Or perhaps she had one (or even two) by then -- I am not sure when they were born. But she wasn't protecting that child by being an accomplice to murder and it was completely bizarre to choose to have sex with him again at all let alone procreate more into existence. I hope she was punished too.
@@icturner23 true she may have had a child with him immediately after meeting him. Or even had the 5 children in those two years (although triplets and twins in two years seems unlikely)
Lunatics 😖😫
Never underestimate women's attraction to men with well paying jobs , at all costs no matter how repulsive the guy , ie Harvey Weinstein
Wonderful. I’m already terrified of the dentist. Thanks for this lovely story doc!! 😂
A dentist tried to convince me to get four fillings I felt were unnecessary and I ignored his pushy advice which made him quite angry. The next time I went to a different dentist years later I was given the all clear. At least he hadn't tried to kill me.
It's still scary to know that there are dentists who will drill perfectly healthy teeth for extra $$$.
@Aaron Davis to be fair, they may well have a yacht to pay for!
That's what happens when you bite off more than you can chew (sorry)
@@aarondavis8943 that makes me so angry! I make crowns and veneers and I've witnessed some extremely dishonest dentists. I've even told patients to go to another dentist.
Haha!!
The thing is, why could love and trust someone who killed your former spouse in order to be with you.
Wouldn't you wonder what would happen the love waned?
Right! Talk about sleeping with one eye open 🥺
Yep!!
💯
Maybe after you commit enough sins you stop caring at all.
It is amazing to me that these killers have such a lack of empathy, even for their children losing one of their parents and what a long lasting trauma that is. Their lack of love for anyone but themselves and their lover is tragic for those around them.
they are like tRUMP .. only care about themselves, screw everyone else
@@rhuephus And that geriatric case you have now is better? All of those are the same, that country is a militaristic plutocracy, that is why almost all of those presidents have the same character.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who thinks it is a good idea, rather than separate, to kill your spouse, what about the children, they lose both parents in a completly traumatic way that is bound to trouble them for life, it is awful
@Ozymandias Nullifidian don't be too hard on the americans; give them a few hundred years; they will be just as civilised as the rest of us.
Its like 2 people in 1. 1 is the well thought of successful dentist family man, ever so religious.
Same person decides murder is his best bet to get rid of a wife, and girlfriend's husband.
And he molests his dental patients. He lives a lie every day, and seemingly gets away with murder, for awhile.
And gives away a yit load of money to scammers, which is just not smart.
Wow Dr. Grande. I can't believe you did an obscure case that I asked for from Northern Ireland. Great analysis. The poor victims and their children.
@@Warriorcock6969 It’s the north part of Ireland.
The North of Ireland is in the North of Ireland.
The West of Ireland is in the west of Ireland. The East of Ireland is in the East of Ireland,
and the South of Ireland is in the south of Ireland.
Is this one of those trick Leprechaun questions ... or did you just skip geography in high school.
Martin, I’m hoping you have sat nav technology in your car wherever your traveling, especially in the Emerald Isle ☘️
@@Warriorcock6969
Northern Ireland is a 6-county statelet that was created in 1921 after the British withdrew from the rest of the island of Ireland.
Northern Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom. This led to civil war and more recently a war that lasted decades.
Today the violence hasn't returned to the heights of the 80s or 90s but the potential for it has been simmering for quite some time.
Especially with Brexit (UK exiting Europe). This has caused many problems and the threat of violence has reared its head again.
The hope of Irish nationalists is that the whole of the island will one day be united again, north and south. Whereas the unionist population are determined to keep Northern Ireland part of the UK.
It's messy!
@@Warriorcock6969 Ok, I get it ☘️
Yet I am glad the terrorist activity, bombing, sectarian murder, intimidation and such dark culture mainly by republicans in Northern Ireland has almost ceased.
@@conorm2524 No potential simmering here at all. After a 100 years imo independence rather than unification is more realistic
@@nagolhayze9366 You are completely wrong and should probably Google and find out all about the troubles in the North. The UK occupied Ireland for 800 years, but gave most of it back after our rebels literally died for it. However, they kept six counties which make the completely independent state of Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the UK - not part of the Republic of Ireland. They are not part of the EU and do not use the same currency or anything.
Interesting that you place the blame on the Republicans though, so clearly you were just being smart.
Colin and Hazel must not have ever cared about their respective children at all, to selfishly deprive them of their other parent via death instead of divorcing like "normal" people. Why even bother having children in the first place if they occupy so little space in your heart? Despicable. Thanks for covering such an interesting story Dr Grande!
When I was a kid, we used to call the dentist "the murder house". Prophetic words lol. Greetings from New Zealand 👍❤️
ahh yes the old Murder house, we had a dental clinic at our school, it had a really old chair that was never used, but was scary to look at. The worst part was the small waiting room and hearing the drills. But you did to take any teeth home for the toothfairy, and the wrapped them in gauze and made them into ghosts complete with faces.
Kia ora Karen, now that's a nostalgia trip. Thank goodness the school dentist is a kinder place today.😁
I called it the room of pain ?
🤣 I’m from the US and have never heard it called that. I’m going to borrow that!
Well, that wasn't prophetic, was it, unless by coincidence your dentist also murdered someone?
I'm from Northern Ireland, I remember when the case came out. It was crazy. Thanks for covering it on here Doc. Weird to see you covering a case that hits closer to home but I appreciate it!
should visit england
@@zcharged8294 Me or the Doc? I can't specifically remember but I'm sure Dr Grande has covered cases in England at some point, no? Didn't he do one about Harold Shipman and Fred and Rose west? And Dennis Nilsson? Be interesting to see him cover the case of the scumbags who murdered that little boy Rhys Jones and then tried to cover it up and how the shooters parents covered for them. Or even the case of Crazy Titch who was a pioneer of the grime scene before it became mainstream, but is now doing life for murder. Although, those cases might be a bit too straightforward. There isn't much deep analysis you can do on those cases, because it's pretty straightforward. They were just people who thought they were gangsters. Crazy T got caught and those other scumbags ended up murdering a little boy by mistake. A case I'd be fascinated to hear about is the case of Blanche Monnier, although that was in like the 1800s so I don't think there'd be enough literature on the subject for Dr Grande to be as thorough as he likes to be. Another interesting one would be the murder of Damilola Taylor.
@@roryslaine7896 Yes, or the heart-breaking case of poor little Victoria Climbie and that crazy witch-woman.
He covered a case that happened in my village in Shropshire (i.e. in England).
@@roryslaine7896 Yes; however I also would like him to cover the Jimmy Savile case; but maybe that's just too complicated and he went on for too long... and so may knew about him... including e.g. John Lydon... etc.
Everyone involved in this case appear to be extremely selfish - Collin and Hazel were ready to kill their spouses to continue their affair, and the second wife who kept his secret until Collin could no longer provide for her and their children.🤔
Really tragic case, I feel bad for all the children involved in the case.
Great review Dr. Grande, much appreciated.❤️
Typical christian values
Children so suffered so he was a bad dad also!
@@M123Xoxo Actually typical secular values. As long as you're happy! It wasn't the church that tells people fuck who you want, when you want. Maybe you missed the part about the rich and camels and needles.
@@M123Xoxo These people were in a Mormon cult. This does not represent Christianity.
I think the police’s response to the deaths is one of the most astonishing things about the case. Though sadly, I must admit, as a resident of Northern Ireland their incompetence doesn’t entirely surprise me.
Did you know 4 out of 5 dentists disagreed with these murders? It's true. (And 1 out of 5 were taking notes/making plans.) 😬
Thanks Dr.G. Excellent analysis. ❤
It’s 2AM and I’d rather watch Dr. Grande than go to sleep. 😌
1:30 in Illinois...insomnia
That is WILD. What a group of despicable fiends those people are. How many times do you think people do stuff like this and actually get away with it? Beyond creepy. The negligence of the police investigation is worthy of its own conspiracy theory but sadly it was likely just negligence.
Dr. Grande, your deadpan humor is comedy gold. Great work, thank you!
selfish people do selfish ugly acts
If you watch a lot of true crime, you begin to understand just how much police incompetence there is. Dr Grande deserves credit for being one of the very few in the true crime community to mock those detectives who deserve mockery.
Investigators should be held to a higher standard, and trained and paid accordingly. They should be scientists. But they're actually just beat cops on a conveyer belt to the inevitable detective position.
Competent investigators, and there are many, should feel embarrassed by these examples. Instead they stand behind their shitty compatriots, as do the police unions, right or wrong, and nothing ever changes.
I got a kick out of his comment about people basking in Dr.Howell’s “glow”.
Just the fact that the police didn't question why they not only were hanging out together but why they decided to commit suicide together and yet she decided to go in the trunk... Infuriating.
Yes, I don't understand why Colin didn't put both bodies into the front seat.
I remember hearing about this terrible case..good analysis of it Dr. Grande!..congrats on ur million+ subscribers!! We’ll done!!
"And lost his pension"!! Golly, I remember this in the news. And all for nothing in the end. Wicked.
@@0scar668 you've been reported to UA-cam for violating the NONSTOP SPAM rule. Stop bothering people. Although, all your comments mean more money for the channel 😂
Happy Belated birthday, Dr. Grande. 🥳
Its interesting that a double murder didn't spark his second wife into action, but losing his money was a deal breaker. Apparently news of his affair or the murder of 2 people, or even the possibility that he might spike her hot chocolate one day was NOT a concern to her. But being poor was a fate worse than death. Well, like they say, no romance without finance.
Exactly!
Boy did you nail this one. "no romance with out finance" A dentist can be a millionaire, or they can go flat broke.
So after finding out her husband was a murderer, assaulting patients, and a cheater, him declaring bankruptcy was what pushed his 2nd wife over the edge to tell someone.
It’s unflattering to her nature. Let’s be honest, most women would do the same
As long as he brought home the dough she was ok with everything, but when he went bankrupt she lost interest.
@@truthsocialmedia no most women wouldn’t do the same just as most husbands don’t kill their wives. There’s a reason this story is being told, it’s because it’s unusual
@@truthsocialmedia umm, not sure "most women" is correct. My goodness you must've encountered some awful women in your time to make a sweeping generalization like that 😳 Yikes!
@@truthsocialmedia God, I hope not! How could any normal person live with that
The level of deceit and betrayal some people are willing to go to is mind boggling.
Good morning from Ireland. This was an awful case. Thanks for covering it 🤗
Another pastor/Christian who is a wolf 🐺in 🐑clothing. So disgusting to do what they did. Excellent points again for us to think about. Thanks Dr G😊💖💖
Hey, Zena! 🖐 Dr. Grande will never run out of material with all these fake pastors. They're always doing everything they tell their parishioners NOT to do. The perfect crime. Until he went bankrupt and his new wife turned him in. Something wrong with her, too! Great comment! 🥰❤🌹🌷😘💙💛💜💙
HIS CONSCIENCE COMPLETED THE JOB THE POLICE COULD NOT, well that is probably one of your best quotes ever Dr Grande, truly spectacular if i may say so.
It wasn't his conscience (he had none), it was his then wife
He had no remorse , it was seeing Hazel happy with someone else what got him. He had to destroy her . Both deserve to be where thy are now .
It's amazing Dr Grande you're covering this story because it was huge in our country and having you speak about it is going to be very interesting.
-I have to go to work this morning- 😒🚫
No, I want and have to watch Dr Grande the Great❣✅
All the time I thought: "How is that blunder supposed to be a 'perfect' crime (There is no such thing, anyways, imo, but since he seems to have aspired to it)? I couldn't believe when you said "Colin's plan worked"! Could anybody plan a more obvious murder with more lose ends (probably, but come to think of it I don't really want to know)??
It also always boggles my mind how these people can/dare call themselves religious and commit stone-cold murder
I think he may have meant, in "Colin's mind."
But Colin's plan did work.
He still pretends to be a man of god
@@conorm2524 I know! It's mind-boggling
There are a lot of people out there hiding behind the bible. I think they are so arrogant they think they are believed by everyone. Well, cops believe them.
Whether or not your facial expressions reflect your actual feelings, they are absolutely priceless! 💕
You are unequivocally dope!
When he went broke she said enough is enough 😂
Omg Dr. Grande I just heard on the news about this couple in Louisiana- Cynthia and Dennis Perkins. The husband was a cop and his wife a teacher. it was confirmed her husband ejaculated onto cup cakes and she then took them to her class and served them to the children!!! Both of them also collected videos of children being violated. She has pled guilty and is testifying against her husband for a lesser sentence. I would love your take of how these seemingly normal people are so sick and manage to find someone as vile as they are. This is absolute madness!!!!
This is sick!
Their names, please, so I can find a link.
@@rullmourn1142 Their names are in the comment, but it's been edited so maybe that's why you missed it. You've barely escaped the wrath of my vitriol, and I'll even answer your question. The cupcake war champions from Louisiana are Cynthia and Dennis Perkins.
@@AllHijinksNoHighDinks lol
Someone else alerted me to this story and I hoped it was fake but sadly 🤢 🤮 its all true. And the cupcakes ended up being the least of their crimes
What a nasty pair,who give the word christian a bad name. All the people in this situation, are so flawed. The police certainly were not on their game. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis and sad topic .
When Dr Grande started this cases back story with "Colin was a religious man". I thought, here we go.
Yes nasty pair exactly 💯🤨😔Hello dear 😊🐤🐾🐞🌷🌻💜
Christian doesn’t have a bad or a good name by itself, there are all kinds of wonderful and horrible Christians walking this earth
@@zenawarrior7442 Good morning , my beautiful friend , thank you so much for the comment 😘❤💙🌷🌸🌹🍀
@@elijahgavin6706 I think her point was anyone claiming to be a Christian should walk the talk, just as a Buddhist etc. She wasn't singling them out. Yes bad people in every walk of life, every "religion".
I love that Trevor was described as boring. The Irish (my ancestors are from Northern Ireland) are many things, but boring isn’t one of them.
Are they stupid? Collin is definitely.
Murdering your spouses on the same day? Don’t they think that’s obvious?
It’s is too contrived.
"White City" was a book about another dentist who became a serial killer in Chicago ... a terrific book!
Hey Dr G, I hope you're having a happy and healthy year so far! You have been so kind to us all by giving us these great videos every day! As always, nothing but top notch content and your well respected "not diagnosing just speculating" opinions of the subject(s). This is my 5th year of subbing to your channel, obviously I have watched many many of your videos. Sometimes more than once, even twice! Do you know of the case of David and Sandra Duyst (nee Bozeman)? This one really got to me, because of an "accident" Sandy encountered but chose to keep the truth about what occurred a secret to everyone. Sandy will end up regretting not speaking out, except for a hidden letter snuck away in a cabinet. Forgive me if you've already speculated on this one, I couldn't find it in your channel and I don't remember hearing you speak of it. It is truly a fascinating story. How far a devoted wife will go to protect her husband and the picture perfect marriage, sometimes just baffles my mind! Lastly, I have to compliment the color of your shirt in this video! I have always loved the salmons and the pinks and the corals, those colors look very nice on you! Thanks for taking the time if you had a chance to read my comment!
💖 Miss Mary From Florida
😍😉
A rose is a rose is a rose!🌹🌹🌹
♥️ your comment!
I agree with your comment but the pink shirt part I agree with the most. It's too bad pink became a 'girl' color because most men look great in it.
Excellent video, Dr. Grande! It is sad, they dogged the memory of the male murder victim. What's more: The female killer who was complicit waited until the Gravy Train which was Dr. Colin Howell to run it's course, then immediately gets him to tell on himself. Due to her ignorance of the law, she failed to realize it was her end as well. I still have a positive outlook on humanity, yet it is instances like this that sadden my heart. Salud!
It wasn’t the ‘female Killer’ who encouraged him to confess, she kept her silence right to the end, it was Howell’s second wife who pressured him to confess, when things began to go down hill financially.
His accomplice in the double murder Hazel Stewart was also in a second marriage to a retired police inspector, she had no remorse, or pangs of conscience, she was in a happy place and being well cared for. What a cold, cold, heart she had.
If Howell hadn’t of confessed no one would have been illuminated about her part in the double murders.
Howell and Stewart are dark, evil, narcissistic killers, motivated by ego, sex and money, they had their weeks in court, Howell confessing, while Hazel Stewart remained in complete denial, they were given a platform to communicate, their voices were heard in an open public court with lawyers by their sides.
The two innocent victims, the other husband and wife, the faithful ones, the true believers, had their lives and voices silenced, they were unheard, and did not have a voice in any of this protracted trail.
The consequences of Howell and Stewart’s complex evil will have a lasting effect and influence on the surviving family members and the children of the victims.
What dark deep displays of evil the human heart is capable of.
Ah, yes. Acting under “duress”. I guess his money had been threatening her to keep quiet, then once those pesky, threatening hundred dollar bills were all gone, she was free to go straight to the police like she’d always wanted 🙄
it might have been even financially beneficial for her to go to the cops straight ahead. cant fall for "i found gold in the Philippines" scam when you are in jail.
@@notyourdamnbusiness8795 But the insurance and inheritance would be taken back if it's determined to be a murder.
actually the money is GBP (British Pound Sterling £ )
@@rhuephus 😂 good lookin out
Having been married to a dentist here is something people dont know. He told me "once you have done one three sided filling you have done them all." He said it was like being a plumber you earn a living BUT it is boring.
Thanks for covering a case from the UK, always appreciated 🙏
She only leaves when there is no more money.
you nailed this doctor .. im from n. ireland and you are 100% right ,, i remember my mother saying when this happened that she thought they were murdered , but she thought they were murdered by another cop ... back then we hated the cops and the british army . but my mum was nearly right
Love the New Grande videos! Can’t wait to see what’s next
How do you put seriousness with levity and still put a humour accent to the storyline. Like it and spot on, especially on analysis! 👍
Was just wondering if there is anyone actually normal in human standards of what normal is and I know that is a broad area if not grey?
Love to see you back in pink Dr Grande! I remember seeing a great TV programme about this case, starring the ever great James Nesbitt 🇬🇧
😱 You can’t be serious, that was a terrible dramatisation.
James Nesbitt ... ‘ever great’ dude waken up and smell reality, you need to get out more.
"I have committed the perfect murder and outsmarted everyone!"
"What's that, you found gold and need my money to help dig it up? Sure, take it all!"
You have a subtle, yet hilarious sense of humor. I love it
As soon as you said he was religious; I knew all would not end well.
yes👌
its just weird that 3, apparently highly religious, people....were all fucking awful. He, his mistress and his second wife is a bitch as well. given she only thought a line was crossed when it came to the bankruptcy.
@@notyourdamnbusiness8795 your profanity is not needed
@@jesussaves7973 then you probably shouldn't read it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You know what gets me? Other than the Police's incompetence to consider homicide, the light sentence he and his ex-lover got. Like how are they even considered after 20 plus years any chance of getting out of prison? Especially when there are innocent people who have served longer time in prison over petty drugs or who were actually found innocent. 🤔🙄
We tend to have much lighter sentences over here than in the US. Murderers can be out after 10-15 years unless they get a whole of life sentence. Very different legal and prison systems.
What an emotional mess for their respective children !
@@sally4026 Yep, same as in Germany
Life in prison is not considered "light"
Because our legal system in the UK is pathetic.
Hurty words carry heavy sentences but true crime gets ignored.
This guy calls to mind Joan Cusack in Addams Family Values, Colin was a busy maniac.
Not a 5-factor expert, but I peg him high on openness to experience and low on everything else.
Perhaps mid-high on extroversion, which garnered him enough social capital for the cops to be inclined to blow the investigation.
I deducted points from the extraversion factor because he tended to sedate so many acquaintances.
I adore your subtle humor, and hearing what you make of things. This one was not just horrific but, when you think of a woman building an entire life with a man, then finding out he’s not the man you thought you married, and far front it. It’s not always easy.
I like that new shirt.
Thank you, Doc. ❤️
Dr Grande could you please do a video on your avid viewers and obviously without diagnosing anyone, look into the mental health factors that make your content so enjoyable and entertaining while eating breakfast. Thanks as always! 👍
Hello Dr. Grande. I just wanted to say I love your videos and how active you are on recent events and topics! You are bold and unafraid of sharing your opinions on controversial topics and I respect and love you for that even when I disagree. Much love dude
PS- please do a video on Josh Pillault who went to prison for 6 years for making fake threats on the video game runescape! I'd love to see your opinion on his situation and if you think it was justified!!!
I remember this case well. I live in Dublin so it was big news in the Republic as well as in the North when the case was reopened. I'll probably add some more thoughts when I've finished watching. Thanks for covering this story.
Listening to the video, I thought it was odd the police didn't pick up on Leslie's body being in the boot of the car. Normally somone who took their own life by that method would be in one of the car seats. Thank you for the video. You presented it very well and it's good to hear you covering a case so close to home.
"Marathon Man, Chapter Two": Colin Howell is the typical killer dentist. As I have written, Marathon Man, the film with Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier, is the archetypal character sketch for this more recent iteration. A gold obsessed dentist, he wasn't satisfied with the fillings in his patients' mouths. He hungered for more, and then more. Like a neighbor's wife, strictly forbidden by the God of the Old Testament. You aren't suppose to covet your neighbors oxen, sheep, calves, or asses, or his wife. Colin didn't listen. But then, to be fair, how many people really do listen to anything other than their inner promptings to indulge their desires and their fantasies. For the typical "modern individual" life is simply about satisfying our longings. Now no one has a strong sense of duty or responsibility; and if they do, it's not founded on anything, so even that's perverse. But I would like to comment, briefly, on an article about Howell that appeared in the BBC: "There were two sides to Colin Howell. He is both an upstanding man, community-minded, and a Christian, but also deeply involved in adultery and murder." How can both of these claims be true at the same time? Thanks for reading.
Noo way!! Colin Howell is from my hometown Coleraine, NIreland. When he confessed, my form teacher at the time was his friend and had lived two doors up from them at the time of the murders. And he had done dental treatment on her 😬😬 she used to give us updates on it as the whole thing unfolded.
I live in Coleraine and went to school in Ballymoney. I have friends and family members who were his patients. Scary biscuits 😉
@@carolowler Dr Grande has a few fans in the Coleraine area it seems lol! And yea, it was so scary.
@@carolowler lol my friend's 20something daughter used to work at his practice.
My uncles stepson picked scallions for Colin Howells sisters niece.
Dr Grande is smart, logical and rational, rare traits these days especially in the usa. I respect his work ethic, insight, authenticity and sense of humor.
Great analysis Dr Grande, and great articulation of the narrative
"partner utility" what a wonderful turn of phrase and concept.
Once again rather poetic, Dr. G
Your channel keeps growing, slow and steady. Great job Dr. Grande! 👍🏼👍🏼
For 'religious' people who had an affair and committed murder (and who are out of prison, walking the streets today), I direct your attention to the Rev. Tom Bird of Emporia, KS and his paramour, Lorna Anderson. Their story was made into a TV movie, 'Murder Ordained' with Keith Carradine and Kathy Bates.
This case is SO alarming and crazy..it's like a crime thriller..it just doesn't seem REAL at all
reality is worse than fiction🤦
I can't imagine the trauma for their children to know that one your parent killed your other parent.
“Unrestricted gullibility” best description ever!
I just learned how to describe "stupidity" professionally-- "Unrestricted gullibility".
"Unrestricted gullibility." I Like that!
Hey Dr Grande! I love your videos, and watch each upload every day, and I’d love to see your take on the situation with black metal band, Mayhem, and the murder of Euronymous, who acted as a somewhat leader of the black metal scene, with a cult following. I think seeing the mental health profiles of people like Euronymous and Varg would be very interesting!
Extremely clever to execute his plans with the help of his accomplice Hazel. But a fool when all is said and done. He had it made but his conscience betrayed him in the end. I’m intrigued by the stories you present Dr Grande and your analyses of these cases! Very interesting indeed. Thanks for the accounts of these diabolical individuals and keep up the great work you’re doing in sharing these stories with your subscribers.
SO happy you did THIS!😀I've been wanting your take on this case!❤you are wonderful!
"Unrestricted gullibility"
Beautiful
Hmm made me think of Tell Tale Heart - "Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed!-tear up the planks! here, here!-It is the beating of his hideous heart!"
He sounds like a narcissist though, to not think of his children's, only his needs, to take advantage of patients, to be careless with money ick just despicable
Dr. Grande you have to do an analysis of Chai Vance!! Very interesting case that has not been explored in great detail
Yet another reason to believe most dentists are weird and sadistic. Just thinking about the drill gives me a toothache. Interesting case, Dr. Grande! 👍🏻
Hello Dr. Grande, First thing "Happy Late Birthday". Just happy that he could not live free knowing what he had done. Now he will have plenty of time to reflect on the terrible act he committed. Thank You for sharing and best regards. 👍❤
Rest In Peace to the Innocent Victims.💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️ Prayers for the Children. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow. His acts are truly Cold blooded. Only someone truly evil could plan and execute acts like these. Frightening that monsters like these two walk among us.
"Holier than thou" types often are the WORST of humanity.
You list "Powell" in the write up, but it is "Howell". Thanks for another great video.
The many offences we hear of, fueled by one-sided obsession, are almost comprehensible as a relief or a fantasy. This situation where lovers conspire to kill their respective partners is baffling. They want to be together in a normal married happy forever life, and don't think their relationship may suffer from this trauma...a sort of haunting. Even if they never got caught, I cannot imagine they ever get their paradise.
Right? It struck me as odd as well. Like, do you really want a partner that obviously is capable of killing their partner in cold blood?
Complex case Great analysis Dr Grande!
It seems incredible that thenpolice werent more suspicious at the time of the murders.maybe the investigating officer was in the same 'lodge' or church as the dentist and turned a blind eye.
There was a war happening in Northern Ireland back then. Police resources were stretched beyond belief. And they were actively targeted almost daily.
@Conor M i know i grew up there, some people called it a war but it wasn't, but you are absolutely correct that the police were under a lot of pressure and there were quite a gew suicides in the police
I like that the truth came out finally .
That the one offense second wife could not stomach was being conned out of money, surprised me, as did their meeting in bible class.
"Most people would consider being a killer consistent with a pronounced decrease in romantic partner utility." Lost it.
I am a patient at this dental practice. I'm so glad he's not a dentist there now. I have met one of his American wife's children who was a friend of my son's. My son was in Howell's house a few times. My son was about 18 at the time. It gives me the creeps to think he was in a murderer's house.
This was such a great mini series on Acorn called The Secret with James Nesbitt.
The thought of just resuming your "romance" after killing your spouses is a level of thinking I can't quite understand.
I love you, Dr. Grande! If only for providing me with bedtime respites thru your varied videos and analysis.....and those funny shades.... those,too of course. Dentist here.😊☝️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this interesting video.
I have to say, I wasn't very surprised that these two murders were also religious. There has been many scandals surrounding vicar’s and priests and godly people. With in their minds they seem to separate their own gratification and greed and believe they're right in what they do.
“Colin believed that he stopped the suffering of Trevor and Leslie by putting them out of their misery 🤷♀️
That confession by Colin beggars belief.
Wow. People never cease to amaze. I can't even wrap my head around this.
What a great video again! It’s mind-blowing how accurate and how insightful your analysis of cases are.
I’d really like to hear your thoughts on the Travis Reinking’s case.
Best regards
Those poor children. In my opinion, there's no truer sign of a narcissist than somebody who thinks their son was killed in an accident to punish themselves. It's like his son didn't exist for any other reason than to either make him happy or make him sad. No life or existence of his own. It's also a good sign that you're a narcissist if you think your spouse has to die for your infidelity. Like, what? How does that even make sense? And for Pete's sake, what a shoddy police investigation. Nothing to see here folks. Just two dead people who were victims of two cases of infidelity whose cheating partners end up together after they're out of the way.
You are the best Dr. Grande. Ive wondered if you could do your amazing analysis on Sammy and Ron’s breakup from the show Jersey shore, lots of emotion there, thank you
How do all of these adults rationalize the effects on their children? Colin had 9 children and took away the mother of the oldest four. Hazel knew of those children and had two of her own. It seems the children were not valued at all. The second wife ultimately did the right thing but how could she stand the fact this man could be so diabolical and especially that he took their mother from them, the children were around in the house, etc. Did he kill the family dog, as well? This whole case is outlandish and bizarre and difficult to believe that the police could not figure this out. Did you make this up, dear Doc?..😶
He definitely did not make this up. This is a true story and there was a television drama made about it. It is difficult to comprehend that people who profess to being Christian would carry out these despicable acts.
Hi, it just seems so, huh? Thanks!
@Ailish Niriain, hi, it just seems to be so, huh? Outrageous. Thanks
Papa doc...
@Golo Shijan, ha!, good one!
It always strikes me as odd at the lengths certain people are willing to go for “love”, they would rather plan & execute a murder/murders than just file for divorce?! I understand that some people take the til “death do us part” as a reason for staying together but clearly Colin & Hazel took the meaning literally. It”s scary to think that if not for a scorned second wife ,Colin & Hazel very may have gotten away with the “perfect murders”. I am also surprised at the relatively light sentences they both were granted. Two murders & however many victims that the dentist assaulted! Thank you Dr. Grande for yet another brilliant analysis 💯😊
I come from Northern Ireland and this case was crazy over here.
