    This happened in my neighborhood. One of the responding paramedics related gruesome details about the scene to my friend the next morning that weren’t reported in the news. As horrific as the crime was, I’ve always felt sorry for Michael Dennis and can imagine the brewing rage and blame that must have driven him to it. It’s no excuse for murder but I can understand his pain.

      Agree. No excuse for his horrific crimes. Maybe he should have packed up and moved on. But his heart was broken after his son,s death, and he allowed his rage, grief and hatred towards Doreen to fester, until he had to kill her and her unborn child. A do feel some sympathy for him too.

      I don't think Michael was delusional. I think Doreen deliberately set up a situation that would lead to Paul's death because she wanted Paul to die but wanted to be free of criminal liability. I would not be surprised if she instructed Paul to climb through the fence and climb into the pool. She might have even placed Paul in the pool.

      Negligence was definitely at play here. I get that there's going to be times where a parent will temporarily lose sight of their child who is in their care. However, I feel that in Doreen's care she was so distracted that she wasn't keeping a close eye on him whatsoever. Michael's suspicions definitely could have been right if there was a history where Doreen has been neglectful. If she harboured any resentment towards him and Paul then I can definitely see where he believes that Doreen intentionally killed the son they shared.
      Without much proof though, I can't say for sure. Tragic accidents do happen. A parent becomes distracted or they aren't feeling very good, and then suddenly the child gets into something or they leave the house and they get injured or die as a result. At the same time, we can't exactly dismiss the feelings of the father who had to suffer through the loss of somebody so precious.

    • @kina18

      It would be easier for her sign away her parental rights and to just give him complete custody of Paul. That would remove both of them from her life. I'm sure he would have agreed to move away with Paul so she could just pretend they didn't exist.

      I feel like Michael wasn’t delusional. He was grieving. He didn’t like Doreen in the first place. He super didn’t like Doreen after “she killed Paul”. Michael had no wife and now no child. The courts failed him. I’m sure he was super depressed. He had nothing to live for so he did what he done did. Didn’t matter if there was a ton of evidence pointing directly at him. He had one mission-eliminate Doreen at *any* cost.

    Very suspicious that Paul did not want to go home after outings with his father. I strongly suspect he was an outsider in the NEW FAMILY. His step father didn’t want him and may have made Doreen‘s life miserable because of it. She got rid of him either through negligence or through definitive action or non-action. “My Son may be drowning in the pool. Let me go over to the neighbor’s house because I can’t bear to find out. Oh look, he is drowning; let me proceed to not save him until I’m certain he can’t be revived.

    • @Andreamom001
      @Andreamom001 Рік тому +14

      That’s actually not very unusual. For a young child, the transition from home to home is stressful and they often express the desire to stay where they are. Also, the primary home is where the child has more rules and mundane tasks and experiences whereas the home the child visits is often the home of dun outings, less strict eating rules, and less of the boring, everyday stuff.
      I was pretty young when I realized my dad was the one to go to with requests for expensive items and fun experiences. My mom’s house was where I had school, homework, chores, etc.

    • @YTStoleMyUsername
      @YTStoleMyUsername Рік тому

      ​@Andreamom001 Yeah, I don't think the fact he preferred going to his dad's indicates that he was being abused, was an outsider or was being neglected etc. As you said, it's just common that kids prefer to be with the parent that is less strict, is more fun, doesn't say no or take things away, or nag them to do chores or things they don't want to do.
      To the OP, the point Dr. Grande was making when Michael and people close to him said "Paul didn't want to go back home when he was with him" was Michael trying to prove he was a good father and that Doreen had a reason to be jealous of Michael, and a reason to want to get rid of Paul. He says she was having affairs and wants to cut off connection to Michael by killing Paul. Honestly that motive sounds a bit far fetched to me, but there's tons of even poorer motives out there for parents to kill their children. I only know what I've heard in this video but a lot of what was said about Michael's opinions, feelings, fears and delusions may not all be facts. And Paul's not here to tell everyone how he really felt either.

    To Michael, Paul wasn't just a son; he was his only remaining connection to the best version of him. A version he had struggled all his life to reach, given his rough childhood and hearing impairment, and one he probably knew he wouldn't be able to establish once more. Michael considered his son, Paul, to be his best friend too. A friend whom he'd fantasied will be there for him in his dotage. I feel sorry for him despite his heinous offense. Sometimes the simplest of minds orchestrates the most brutal reactions to their self agonies. RIP Paul.

    Another lesson lurking beneath the surface is bitterness and how it will consume you to the point of sheer madness. While this case is 35 years old the lessons remain timeless in that by harboring hate in his heart the vengeful father committed an act so heinous that it violates the foundation of all spiritual teachings and is the number one commandment “thou shalt not kill.” Michael, if still living, now had sat in a cell removed from society for decades because he was consumed with bitter thoughts and feelings. It doesn’t have to be this way. There was a better way but that’s the tricky part because it requires not being bitter and not blaming others. In the end, we are far better off forgiving ourselves and others because it’s all you can do sometimes.

    Very Entertaining😅
    I never fail to admire the way Dr. Grande's narratives build character from the ground up. First, we are informed that Mr. Dennis was born "around" 1950. Odd. In his early life he experienced hearing loss which resulted in having to use hearing aids. This, of course, led to "bullying." Already the identity of another victim of bad circumstances is being created for our enjoyment. On top of that, perhaps innocently, perhaps maliciously, teachers labeled him "disabled."
    This toxic mix results in "depression" because this combination of circumstances leads to longing for an unattainable girlfriend. 😩 Now he adds a dash of "divorce" which makes the attentive viewer feel ever more deeply the pain and loss of Mr. Dennis.
    Next, but not last, Mr. Dennis needed to bear the burden of losing his son in a swimming pool drowning. When the case went to trial for negligence in the care of a child, the not guilty verdict devastated Michael. It was, so to speak, the final blow of fate. Now he was on course for murder. A four dollar an hour cut in wages tempted him to take extreme measures to resist fate's downward direction. But like all things earthly, what is built from the ground up must eventually be destroyed by the force of immoral gravity. Thank you.

      Cut out? 😳 Dr. Grande and other sources don’t state such a thing. Doreen was close to her delivery date, so perhaps she spontaneously aborted due to the intense physical trauma. Even the new husband thought she miscarried based on what he viewed. Presumably, and without getting too graphic, the baby may have been lying just outside the vaginal canal (cord intact).

    Welp, this is by far my favorite analysis by Dr. Grande. I drowned when I was 7 yrs old but as I began to feel all the water flooded in my stomach, lungs,..etc I passed out but felt someone pulled my hair & another pushed me from bottom. Yes, I was saved. As you can see, Michael was actually a good father & if I was him, I would be ok sitting the cell & he spared that little girl's life. Also, I've met so many women with traits like Doreen all through my life, even now in 2023✅.🤷‍♀️

      He didn't spare that little girl's life. Not on purpose, anyway... The daughter is now a grown woman, and she has told her story on several crime shows about this case. It's truly horrifying to hear... The little girl was watching TV with her mom when Micheal entered the house and began stabbing her mother. The girl hid behind the couch while her mother was being attacked, and heard all the awful sounds. Afterwards, Michael roamed the house looking for the little girl, calling out her name and telling her to come out. He didn't just leave after killing the Mom- he stuck around and spent some time actively hunting for the little girl. She could hear him opening doors and moving stuff around looking for her. Luckily he didn't find her, because he absolutely would have killed her if he did.

    I am only a little older than Paul would have been if he was alive today. The picture of him with that Trick or Treat bag really hits hard. It just makes me wonder why some of us survive to adulthood and some don't. I didn't have the exact bag, but it was similar, same size, mine was orange. I used it for several years. Trick or treating with the plastic pumpkins were the "new" thing according to my mother; I wanted one but it didn't happen. Clearly it doesn't matter, but i do wonder if Paul thought the same.

  • @velvetbees

    How can a mother be so careless about the swimming pool? Michael saw the potential for drowning. It does not excuse murder, but it was a factor in the child's death. Also, my own personal thought is those jobs back then using sprayers to paint or add some other kind of coating to airplanes were dangerous due to toxins. A mask only goes so far. It is possible he also suffered from brain damage from toxins.

    What a tragedy, maybe it could even have been prevented if she would have been held accountable for Paul's death, but who knows? Either way he hacked to death a pregnant woman in front of her daughter with a machete. I am not sure how anyone can be on "his side" just because he had an understandable motive. Regardless of the motive, what he did was barbaric and I highly doubt that having his father murder his mother and go to prison for it was what Paul would have wanted for his parents.

      Please read the actual case on Findlaw. The man had mental health issues and he disemboweled an unborn fetus. That is not how you handle grief, job loss, and a divorce. Most people find other, non-murder ways to cope.
      Doreen was not found guilty of killing her child (or even manslaughter), and the judge denied Michael's wrongful death suit for good reason. Accidents happen, & they can be absolutely devastating. Murder is intentional, and there were many other ways he could've worked with her to come to a resolution that didn't end up in torture and death. I can't understand how so many seem to think he had a valid motive for such an atrocious act.

Absolutely infuriating. Now to blow that minute feeling out from the river into the ocean, mix that with the loss of your only child. The rage within me would never die. On top of this, she did not try to save her child. I am disgusted with her and I believe she deserves prison. This sweet young boy was neglected, I am angry even thinking about it. One of the mental health professionals said that Michael is over reactive, what an easy thing to say about the man who lost his only child due to stupidity and lack of care.

What he did to her and her unborn child is unconscionable! He wasn't even that smart. Did he really think he could wear the same Halloween mask from the previous year and get away with it? If Doreen didn't want her son, (i don't believe that to be true), why wouldn't she just turn over custody to Michael? Was the income that important to her?

I think she loved her son, but was negligent. I would need to hear more corroborating evidence of willful negligence that happened prior to this event. I would also need to see the pool, the fence that was put in, etc. to form an opinion about that one way, or the other. If it were my pool, and my dog died in it, I would get rid of it, or turn it into a planter. I do think it’s a horrible accident and I think it was due to her negligence.
