He took a very sick child out to do errands, so his wife "could rest?" He took the sick child to the park?
He said he was doing better before then. A child is able to ride in a care while sick and it’s not crazy to think that a kid who’s feeling better after breaking a fever would want to play. Idk that part wasn’t so shocking
I have to say the bigger question is, "What was Heather **thinking** when she married David Temple?!" He'd murdered his pregnant wife, and a 12-gauge shotgun blast to the back of her head would likely result in a closed-casket funeral due to the lack of remaining head and face to view. Remember, Heather, "What he'll do **for** you he'll also do **to** you."
You can’t be more clear than that.👍🏻
I think Heather simply believed his break in story. And she likely believed the Doolittle alibi. Remember that the DA declined to indict him at the time that Heather married him. And she filed for divorce when he was actually indicted.
@@GoodnightJLH I wonder if her legal pleading included the phrase "dodged a bullet" in the reason(s) for the divorce.
Heather was a malignant narcissist herself who low-key THRILLED at the notion that she could inspire an boorish oaf to murder his wife to be with her.
Some women will do anything simply to say they are married. It's bizarre
I have always thought that the aggressive dog in the backyard was the smoking gun in this case! Cops and a neighbor can’t enter the backyard but the killer can? The killer could in this case cause it was the dog’s owner who did not have to take any additional steps to enter the yard without the dog so much as barking!
Exactly!
Same. That has always been the clincher for me.
Still can't convict somebody for murder and sentence them to life because of the behavior of a dog.
@@carlitosortiz2870 The dog was but one of several factors, although quite compelling evidence indeed in that it wouldn't allow anyone it didn't know onto the property. Not sure how the defence could get around that.
true, it seems the fact the dog was so agressive the cops figured the only way back there was to kill it, is pretty huge. It looks like a chow? I've always known them to be pretty mean if not raised to be sweet. I guess that's most dogs though...
that's why it would seem plausible maybe the next door kid 'could' have done it, if the dog was a little desensitized to him and he brought it a raw steak, but that's pretty contrived and why would the neighbor do such a thing in the first place? Surely the kid knows what times they are home and wouldn't try to break in at the times they are getting home every day. Plus, how stupid would you have to be to carry a heavy friggin shotgun to do burglary anyways? That's just goofy to picture happening. Shotguns are cumbersome.
There must be a body of water somewhere nearby with a shotgun laying at the bottom of it... he's a big dude and old football player so if he held it by the barrel and flung it like a discus he could make it go pretty far off a bridge or something.
If I were investigating it, it would have been worth sending divers into nearby waters to look for it but he got life in prison so it's kindof moot.
His little alibis seem contrived too.
That shotgun though... where did he get it?🤔
Poor Belinda. A woman is most vulnerable when she is pregnant. The state should have prosecuted him sooner. Belinda’s family would not have had to wait for justice and could have raised her son. Hopefully they have peace of mind after living through that nightmare
Unfortunately David is still living in prison. His crime can only be justly punished with his death. What he did is beyond evil. He is the type of person that if given different circumstances could easily become a dictator not much different that a Stalin or a Hitler.
@@neilmiller617 He was never going to be a powerful person like the murderous despots you mention because he was just too simple.
You're right. But Hitler was just an unimpressive corporal and failed mediocre painter who was broke after pisssming away his inheritance. And Stalin was a failed criminal from the periphery country of Georgia.
Why would you take a sick small child with you to run errands when his mom was able to take care of him was at home she even had soup for her son? So sad that it took so many years for justice to be serve.
I just wrote that basically. Exactly. They went to a park? 🤔
Good question. Evan's temp was reported as having been 106 F. Wouldn't that have warranted a trip to the ER?!?
@@Gobble_de_Goop 100.6 which is barely in the abnormal range. Kids may be perfectly well with temperatures like this!
I agree that he killed his wife before he did all the errands. This is strange too, the young child had a fever but his father thought it was a good idea to take him to various stores when his wife was home? She wasn't the one sick, tired maybe, being pregnant. This strange behaviour and the dog not reacting to a stranger getting into the yard convinced me that David planned and carried out the murder to be with the new woman.
just the fact that he had side chick and married her is the clincher for me
My first thought was that he did it before he left the house. Her time of death would have still been within the time allowed. No intruder was getting past that dog.
I know someone who served on the jury of his first trial. When I spoke to her within weeks of the verdict she said, “without a doubt he did it.” It’ll be a shame if he’s paroled in 17 years.
I know the grand jury had no problems indicting him.
I remember this so well, I am from the Katy area myself. I actually went to Albright Middle school in the early 90’s where Belinda was a teacher and remember seeing her in the hallways when she was pregnant with Evan. I had friends who had her class and described as a very nice and good hearted teacher. My brother went to Hastings high school where David Temple was a coach and was actually my brother’s football coach. Seeing this happen back then sent shock waves here in houston because both were very known teachers within the school district. Everyone here in Houston believed he killed her and we’re all happy he’s locked up. What’s really sad is his son has never believed his father was capable of murder and has stood by him during the trial. He called Heather mom because she raised him. This one was not close to home but right at home. Excellent speculation Dr.Grande, you gave us details I wasn’t even aware of on David Temple.
The odds of a burglar randomly breaking in and killing someone in their home has to be much lower than a family member killing their spouse, etc. Meaning killers suggest outlandish scenarios 😢
I knew a career house burglar. He carried no weapons. The absolute worst situation for him is for somebody to be home. They don't want to deal with ANYONE or even dogs. The phony 'ransacking' scenes are ridiculous.
He liked to steal jewelry, coin collections, hidden cash and his ideal situation was for the home owner to come home and maybe not even know for days or weeks that they have been robbed.
The odds of both are incredibly low. I don't think that's enough of a reason to convict.
Cool for your friend. There are still countless cases of intruders murdering home owners.@@poetcomic1
@@ianfisch7289 Why would you not convict on preponderence of the evidence as opposed to beyond reasonable doubt?
Seems to happen often with some dudes?
The saddest thing is that Evan grew up never knowing his mother's side of the family, and on a true crime program I saw about this case, Belinda's brother had tears in his eyes saying " he looks just like his mother" when he was all grown up.
That is something else right, keeping a child away from people who love him dearly. I don't get that.
If Heather had a heart, she would've allowed Evan to connect with Belinda's family while David was in prison... but NOPE! She never did. She's just as evil and soulless as David.
@@Gobble_de_Goop 100%
Why was she even allowed to maintain custody over a child that was not biologically hers and whose mother her husband killed during an affair she took part in. Smh. No justice in that.
@@millylove1252 Agreed, but those were David's wishes, and given how long it took for Texas to charge David the first time, that was how it all played out sadly.
With an aggressive dog, no stranger entered that backyard.
What a distressing story. David Temple could have just gotten a divorce like a normal person.
Sometimes juries resist giving death or life without parole sentences because there remains a small amount of doubt in their minds about the guilt of the accused.
This dude did not want to pay child support also did not want to lose belongings...just a monster
I will never understand women who fall for married men. Do they not realize if he’s cheating on his wife with them if they marry him he’ll cheat on them? Obviously not.
No, they think they are different from the current wife who is likely being described as a nag, a bad mother, a horrible housekeeper, a big spender, and never was right for him to begin with. What he really needs is someone just like the person he's having the affair with. That's what they say and that's what the side piece believes.
@@elliebellie7816well said
Apparently the "other woman" feels special to be chosen above someone else. 100% of the cases I've seen 1st hand, the new person gets cheated on as well. Karma? Or common sense.
@@BobbiGail More like low IQ wattage and no self respect.
They have huge egos, they think they have power over breaking up a marriage! They’re idiots!
They should've check David's hand for gun residue on the day.
"A temple of disappointment." Sir, I am ROLLING 😂😂😂
I heard the excellent Southern Fried True Crime podcast on this case, which went into great detail. David openly hated Belinda (and her family) once she became a mother. His awful mistress didn’t have the burden of being one - though maddeningly she had the right to become one to Evan, who was isolated from Belinda’s family. So this loser has mommy issues. It’s interesting to note that Belinda has a twin sister, who not surprisingly was the most aware of how cruel he was to Belinda.
Heather's FB used to be public, and she somehow, infuriatingly, raised Evan herself (instead of Belinda's family) while David was in prison all those years!!
@@Gobble_de_Goop Perhaps she did love Evan. Hopefully so. Just because she has very bad judgement in relationships does not mean she is a terrible person.
I love Southern Fried True Crime! She has a soothing voice and just tells the story in a respectful way, without giggling and antics.
Erica Kelley is still a hidden gem in this cruel world of true crime! She's a true pro as well as those who assist her with the research and writing.@@msannthropic7661
If he was so unhappy with Belinda after she became a mother why didn't he do something to prevent another pregnancy?
Dog charged neighbor but didn’t bother intruder? 🤔 Hmmm.
I live in katy. This was a huge deal. I was a senior in high-school and this case is what made me obsessed with true crime.
Not many know this detail but Belinda would always take off her shoes at the door and walk around the house barefoot. When she was found murdered in the walk in closet she was wearing her shoes. That means she was ambushed as soon as she entered the house. No time to put the soup in the refrigerator but forced upstairs into the closet where the noise was muffled. While she was being forced up the stairs she dropped the keys on one of the steps and that's where they were found. Who was in the house when Belinda had entered? Admittedly her husband.
We never know who we could help by providing this content. Some people can’t see the red flags behind their rose tinted glasses.
The dog is the best witness in this case.
How could the jury disagree whether this murderer should spend life in prison or not? Very strange.
Because IQ.
Idiots who've been brainwashed by CSI and similar TV shows with an inability to comprehend the validity of circumstantial evidence.
Ikr. He was found guilty of killing his pregnant wife. The guy is a total scumbag.
I have been a Foreperson on a jury. There are so many instructions from the judge, things to read, so much to talk about. A lot to navigate. And we all felt a huge burden of responsibility. We were on a gun case, and we as humans wanted to throw the book at the Defendent but ultimately the DA case has some flaws, and just in the context of the whole trial we had to go with the lesser charge, and it was disappointing but that was the breaks and I still feel good about it bc we the jury in a pressured environment made a skillful decision. The learning curve was phenomenally steep! I would love to have the chance again someday to serve on a jury.... If I can ever again make it past the initial roll call! :)
They were probably plagued by some doubt over his guilt. It only requires a little bit of doubt to eat away at someone. So they try to have a bet each way: They find the defendant guilty but attempt to give them a chance to get out of prison. This isn't meant to be a factor in sentencing but of course, it often is.
There's an excellent book about this case "Shattered" by Kathryn Casey. If you read about all the evidence you'll know that there's absolutely no doubt that he did it.
Very good book.
@@Laura-tp8wz Yes, it is and also very detailed. I downloaded it on kindle.
So glad he finally landed where he deserves. So sorry for Belinda, her precious baby, wee Evan and the rest of her family. How dare the courts allow his mistress to bring Evan up instead of Belinda's family! I hope he ended up where he belonged, with stable people who love him. It's messed up when the children end up with the toxic side of the family instead of decent people. It happens all too often.
I saw a show about this case the other day. Evan wholeheartedly believes in his father's innocence. Since that's all he heard growing up, I guess I can't be surprised.
@@Meela234 Incredibly sad.
Dr Grande,you are the best.
When I cant get to sleep, I listen to these sad stoties sometimes 🌒
He does have a soothing voice.
Me too! Puts me to sleep like a lullaby every time. His voice is very soothing.
Thanx guys,lol, 😂
The fact that so many spouses kill is scary. If you're having an affair, get a divorce? The amount of partners that kill the other is just insane. Thank you for another informative interesting video, Dr. Grande. I love your channel Soo much. ❤
This is also a consequence of the government injected into people's personal business. making laws like child support is probably why this fool killed her.
It's usually motivated by money. Divorce halves the assets typically. It's greed - or, the financial situation is sooo bad that a divorce is especially challenging.
Then again, some folks apparently want uncomplicated lives. Divorce especially with kids complicates every aspect of living. Selfishishness.
It is a sad statement of the human condition, the weird paradox that someone who you have chosen to be your life partner, and have presumably at some point mutually declared your love for each other, is also the person statistically most likely to have killed you if you are found murdered.
The nerve some fools have. Like doesn't he know he's part of the reason she became pregnant and doesn't he suspect she'll gain some weight that might be difficult for her to lose. And look at how chubby he became, the stress of his ongoing case obviously didn't stop HIM from being a pig. And severing a relationship because of a baby yet rushing into another one based on lust that in most cases would lead to more babies. He's a self absorbed idiotic waste of skin and bones. R.I.P Belinda.
He hated his wife for having his own children 'displace' her love for him due to her affection for their son. Worst of all she got pregnant again putting him further away from her love in his distorted perceptions mind. Instead of supporting his wife to raise their children, got rid of her lusting after his mistress for negative attention, forgot about consequences
I still love the cactus collection
The way he treats her, is the way he will treat you. Which I guess to some people this could be flattering but the way he treats the one he took those vows with is how he's going to treat you. How flattering is that now? What ever happened to divorce. Nobody is always going to be perfect to you, because nobody is perfect, maybe he should have spent more time critiquing himself than his wife. I know divorce is bad but this is horrible. Dr. Grande, thank you for these stories. You're the best!❤
Dear Dr Grande, the dog says it all. It is a mixed up case. David's behavior and the valentines day roses to his lover sent a clear message. Many thanks for another truly excellent analysis.
I lost it as “temple of disappointment” 😂😂😂
Just wanted to say how much I love 💕 your videos, Dr. Grande. Your voice is soothing and I enjoy your content on True Crime. You’re very informative. You also help keep me company. 😊
Thank you for always providing us your insight and keeping us educated. ♥️
Please talk about the parole of Oscar Pistorius who killed his girlfriend.
Reeva Steenkamp
The opening assessment of others that David was "...People who knew him thought of him as a bully, he was condescending, arrogant, grandiose and thought that he was special....." is indicative of a common trait of all criminals-they seem to all be narcississitic in their belief of their superiority to the extent that they can get away with their crimes. So "Temple of disappointment" takes on further aspects. I tend to believe that dogs' behavior reflect the training their owners give them...."What triggers dogs to be aggressive?
Most often a dog's aggression is motivated by fear, anxiety, conflict about what to expect and what to do and the anticipation of possible punishment"....there is certainly irony that the dog's behavior was a factor in the case built against Mr Temple.
I am sorry , looking at this guys face he looks mean and abusive . He has an angry mean face . He is known bully . While many marriage crumble and people have affairs but he dishonors his children and is a terrible dad even if he didn’t murder her .
Clearly the house was faked for burglary and he murder his wife and stage the other times .
Good riddens to such a horrible guy .
Interesting how the killer got past the aggressive dog, hmmm.
I am glad you discussed this case. I read about it years ago and have followed the trial and history and the murders broke my heart…Their dog, the chow, always was a big piece of the evidence because I believe that dog would have shredded a “burglar”. I felt so sad for Belinda and Erin, and their families and may they RIP. ❤️💐. Maybe someday Evan will see the truth.
Hope you and yours had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, Dr. G! You're one of the hardest working content creators out there and I'm here for it all!

@@FTH1723 Thanks!
@@FURTIVEGESTURES Thanks!
I heard one of your episodes on a podcast FM radio channel in SW Florida. Way to go Dr Grande!
Love how you take cases and sum them up so quickly without fillers. Always interesting❤❤
He may have had a hitman do the job if you assume every other detail was correct.Namely the boy's watching TV were correct in their timing. Hit Men are not smart and that may explain the broken glass on the wrong side of the door. That is the only other alternative and would place him NOT at the scene of the murder at the time .However the fact that the dog allowed entry illustrates that the Dog new the intruder/murderer was a friendly .This leans me to thinking that she was murdered by someone she knew.
Could you please cover the case of Oscar Pistorius? He is likely to be released on parole soon after serving time for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. I live in South Africa. It will be very interesting to hear your view.
I think he did.
@@danae-rain3019 What? Who? Dr Grande covered the case? Or Oscar got parole? Crazy non-specific comment of your!
He just recently covered that case. Perhaps a day or two ago.
Go easy on him he only murdered his wife and unborn child.
AND unborn child.
@@mercuryangel5632thanks.
TY Dr. G. Appreciate your time and attention to detail
Dr. Grande, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Thank you for all the interesting videos.
Apparently the sex was memorable enough for her to marry the man. I agree with you, doc. He killed her.
Great video, thanks Dr. Grande.
That's in my neighborhood lol. I saw this dude many times.
So awful
My favorite type of excuse again. I agree he was guilty & your points. Thanks Dr G😊🧡🧡
Who would have known this would happen. She didn’t. She was pregnant too. Two lives gone. Evil man.

But was she shot in the . . . temple?
Always interesting

Hello 👋 good Dr. Grande 😊
I am seconding the request that you cover the case of Oscar Pistorius. I would love to hear your synopsis of the case.
the dog, taking the kid places so he could be seen and leaving the kid in the car going in without him gave him away, the scene like it was a robbery when he used to enter places in the past..
WOW,106 temperature & she takes the kid home,wouldn't you immediately take the child to the Emergency room???
Just think if she had taken the Child to the E.R.She might still be here???🤯
It was 100.6F.
@@TianXiaoMao .
exactly! Big difference, I was wondering how many people would make this mistake.
@@TianXiaoMao OH,okay that makes a little more sense 😎👍
@CJR-bs7eu I also heard 106 first, did a double take, and then my brain translated it to the correct degrees. I think the daycare would have called an ambulance if it had been 106.
Are you stupid? Germs all over a place at the Hospital so take the kid there? The kid needed the Mom and rest at home...just like the Doctor would tell her for a lot of money.
Hi, Dr. Grande. Love your content. Can you please cover the case of author Marion Zimmer Bradley?
What case?
Omg, i gotta go look it up. I loved her book The Mists of Avalon❤
7:33 About the TV set... I would be much more suspicious if the TV had been unplugged, as if someone unplugged it to prevent a short and fire. The homeowner would care, a burglar wouldn't care. I would NOT expect a burglar to unplug a TV before throwing it on the ground.
My dad was a Stanislaus County Sheriff's Deputy for 30+ years trained in water rescue and he actually helped search the water for her body when I was a little kid.
But wait! What did he do at Home Depot? Was he in the "Murder Cleanup" section?
Football is a totally different game in the UK. We call this game rugby.
What do you call it in the Middle East shithole you came from before you hopped on a dinghy and came to the Uk?
I’d like to add the oddity of a mother letting her sick son go run errands with a fever of over 101. If she were wanting to rest she would’ve taken her sick child with her.
One of the scariest things I've ever seen is what a shotgun can do to a human head. That poor girl. RIP Belinda.
I lived in Redwood City CA during the Scott Peterson trial always think of that one.
I'm in Belmont, hi. Yah, what a wild ride.
these murderers are really giving the garden variety burglars a bad name. Basically every true crime story when somebody kills their spouse they go for the ‘ol “burglars broke in our house “ routine. They killed my spouse but luckily I managed to escape with a scratch on my pinky. Has this story ever worked in the history of the true crime genre???
AHHHHH! I wanna watch but I can't right now!!!!!
This case Dr. Grande is discussing in the video concerning a "Fake Intruder" does not sound like a too complicated crime scene for detectives who did the investigation at the time. A far more complex murder scene to investigate up here in Edmonton, Alberta Canada was after Robert Worlsford; an old man; went missing from his St. Albert apartment in July 2017 whereupon a search for him was launched. Then while lawyers were often deliberating about who murdered him police reported a another murder case here in Edmonton, Alberta Canada on Feb 12, 2019 after finding a body in the Devon area which was a long ways away from St. Albert. The actual murder scene where Robert Woorlsford went missing was maybe first attended to by a man named Robert Rafters up to a whole full 4 days later after his girl friend Beryl Musila had presumeably made a call to him when she was asking him for help to move a large and very heavy black garbage bag full of something into a taxi. Beryl Musila was sentenced for the murder of Robert Worlsford on Sep 28, 2023 Beryl Musila who is a single mom to 2 children.
I wonder what Evan Temple thinks is the truth? Does he accept his father murdered his mother and has he had any relationship at all with his mother's family now he's an adult?
I remember this case I wonder if Kelly is going to talk about this case again on her new tv show
Dr Grande is detail oriented 😂😂😂😂😂
Police considered shooting the dog?? Shocking!
What about the prosecutors who kept information secret, have they been destroyed?
Good example of "beyond a reasonable doubt". I think there was enough evidence in this case to warrant a conviction for murder, but not for the death penalty had it been tried as a capital murder case.
Yes they said he said “that was 6 years ago”. He thought he had got away with it
I believe we have doubt here.
Close call indeed. Remember the standard--beyond a reasonable doubt. If met here it was done so barely.
Your last comment had me thinking of a certain ex-president
A bully a narcissist and consummate LIAR extraordinaire😢
78 and no murder charges...take another hack skippy....let it out...lol
Can you do a Ward Weaver the serial killer video please
nice 1 david
Please explain the cacti some time -- if you can.
There was too much of doubt. The alibi was collaborated, and the charges were only brought because there was another case where the husband was found guilty of murdering his pregnant wife, not on the initially viewed facts and evidence.
What’s with all of the cacti?
With a fever of 106, the three year should have been taken to a hospital.
100.6, not 106.
Yesss king go off
He wasn’t happy about his wife’s weight gain.
Okay, then what made him so sure his wife was happy about the circumference of his neck.
I give it 50/50
Dr. Grande, why do you never begin with cases of people born between July 23st and August 22nd??
Hello
Why don't people just get divorced?!
He didn't want to deal with his ex-wife, child support, custody battle, spousal support...etc. I agree, divorce is the much better choice, but some people don't see it that way and want to create a totally clean slate for their new life. David is one of those short-sighted people.
White chocolate!!!
Cheaters cheat...if they do it to their spouse, they will do it to you! Not a good moral quality!!! What was the girlfriend thinking....dadada????? She had to have her man!!!! Why??
