Massive props to Christina’s (his first wife) sister for going out and filming the burnt house in detail. She trusted her gut instinct and followed through on it
Just goes to show you never really know someone... even the person you're most intimate with... thousands of times maybe... you still don't know and cant fundamentally trust any human can you... :I Existential crisis mode engage :/
The audacity to say he'd do anything for his grandkids while not giving them a single cent of their father's life insurance AND having life insurance out on them is grotesque.
When he said he bought them a turkey I was flabbergasted! I think he would have killed those babies. I can’t imagine insuring my children let alone grandchildren. He is just evil.
His Dad is an absolute scumbag….honestly I have no words. It’s crazy how nonchalant he is. I hope Levi’s kids, stepmom and siblings are doing ok. RIP Levi, so sorry this happened to you 😢
Is the government really any better than this man? The police, the army, the prisons. They systematically destroy millions of lives on a regular basis and we don't seem too upset by it. What is one single psychopath versus a psychopathic government?
These videos are SO well made! - No distracting music - No dramatization - Very well edited - minimal voiceover/captions that precisely highlight important clues - explains crucial info i.e. interrogation techniques or background info Thank you
While I 100% agree with you, I also appreciate Dateline/48 Hours for the dramatization and music, production, narrators etc. It's like two different forms of TC entertainment
@@PassionPaint it's this mostly. Music can enhance an experience, but you see a lot use it as filler. I suppose we all know horror and thrillers can be enhanced by minimal, but dramatic music, at key moments in a certain scenario. Otherwise it is distracting. It's basically similar to showing some random scene - it needs to be relevant (AI still messes this up, but to be fair, humans do too, like said). If we get a 5 second frame of elmo doing some stuff in between the interview, you'd wonder what the editor was tripping on.
I agree. As someone who gets some anxiety when watching these types of videos, I've found that what triggers my fear and anxiety most is when they put suspenseful or spooky music behind the talking of the crime. I can actually watch these videos without having anxiety for the rest of the day
I agree, though as someone who works in mental health, a lot of the “psychological analysis” does bother me, as a lot of it is really broad, incorrect or outdated. Really my only criticism for this channel.
I can't believe this happened not once but repeatedly: Investigator: "You've been through quite a loss. That must have been traumatic." This guy: "It was! I lost every single possession I had. The fire burned my face." Investigator: "Sir I'm talking about the death of your family..." This guy: "Oh"
That’s the main thing that really stuck with me throughout the whole interrogation… like if that doesn’t immediately say he’s guilty or at least the prime suspect then idk man
@@universalconquest4447 it makes sense in this context. levi wasnt her biological son, aka non-bio son, and she loved him with all she had. you're weird
@@universalconquest4447no it’s not. It’s what it is. Biological or non biological parent. Your comment is cringe. You deserve your 0 likes. Sound like someone from a nice white community where everyone has their mom and dad.
I think everyone in this case is a piece of trash the step mother would literally leave the house when he beat the kids she couldn’t of cared that much.
I 100% believe Cindy would have been the next victim and it’s once again NOT A COINCIDENCE that Cindy’s pelvic pain went away when this ghoul was imprisoned.
@@amandaprewitt949 she said that she had been having bad pain in her pelvic area and after he was out of the picture the pain went away. I have a theory he was slowly killing her.
It genuinely made me so happy when the detectives just started bombarding with evidence and not even giving him time to justify it. this guy is a real piece of work
It was sinisterly the pay off of this video. I have family member like this who just concocts every story and the whole time you know they are lying (thankfully , nothing as drastic as KK here). Imagine the shock of th wife when she finds out there is 1.2M policy on her!! And how do these companies continue to underwrite him? He barely waits weeks before enacting the plan each time.
How in the hell did the insurance companies and the police not figure this out before hand? The man has involved in multiple situations where somebody has died suddenly and received payouts for them including even animals. It took his own wife to do their job
That’s standard operating procedure. You gotta round up all the evidence and hope they believe you. Or say there’s drugs and money. Then they’ll there in a hurry to get their cut. Ooops I mean civil asset forfeiture😉
I think the most evil part of it all. Was when the detective mentioned how Karl blasted country music to muffle his son’s screams. Not only just to muffle his cries, but also to just torment him in his final moments, knowing he hated country music. It’s seriously messed up to kill for money, but the way he chose to do the killings was like he wanted his wife, and son to suffer as much as possible. I mean getting crushed, and dying in a fire are two of the worst ways to go. What an evil s.o.b
When it was revealed that he boarded up the window to the bathroom. Watching Colette tug at the board made my heart hit my stomach. Colette knew that man was Satan.
I lost my step brother to a hunting accident 21 years ago this month. My stepmom still has a hard time keeping her voice from breaking while talking about him. This guy clearly doesn't care about anyone but himself.
stepmother loved and cared more about her stepson than his own biological father did. Such a great woman...I wish more step parents were like that. Or adoptive parents.
Well, she did look the other way for about 11 years while he beat his kids. The CPS report notes how Levi alleges she would (conveniently) leave the house when Karl would start beating on him. Yeah, she could've been under Karl's physical and psychological control, making it difficult to seek help for her and the kids, but I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say she's a great woman.
@@ChooChewChu just putting it out there that he could've waited till she was out to do the abuse but it's also possible she turned a blind eye as many spouses do when the other parent is being abusive
I felt firsthand embarrassment when he started talking about how he handled nuclear technology and that he was a rocket scientist. 💀 It's also sickening to hear that he had insurance on his young grandkids. Bless Cindy and her determination to get him caught.
His son was a mess because of the way his mom died. Death of parent even in normal circumstances causes deep trauma to children. Believing your Dad killed your Mom is a whole other level of pain and suffering.
I might have missed it but what made u think Levi thought his dad killed his mom? If that were the case I don't see why Levi would still be in contact with his dad and even help him by fixing his car.
Especially since it seems the children heard their mum begging for their father to save her, and they saw him ignore Christina. Who knows how long it was before she died? Screaming, not knowing if her children were okay, killed by her own husband. This poor family
I'm glad she decided to follow her suspicion and recorded it despite the fact that Karl cannot be heard on original recording because it pushed the police to investigate Karl and have a lead. There's a chance that the case would've been said as an accident and he won't get punished or it gets cold and Karl would've died of old age before justice could be served.
@@LilithsCosmicLounge I totally agree. The only part I don't 100% agree to is that you must be married to have a child. Marriage is kind of an old fashioned sentiment to me. Dated. Very dated. As long as the child has both a mom AND a dad. A female role model and a male role model.
The fact that the insurance money didn’t go to his kids is so sad. That’s precisely what an insurance policy is for to take care of your family if you pass.
Yeah I’m thinking Levi didn’t want a cent to go out to her wife because he was hating her by then or something. It’s a shame to be able to prioritize an adult argument over the well-being of children, but there are such immature human beings. Also if Levi was m***sting his own kid what else can one expect 😔
If my child was under a vehicle that was crushing the life out of them I'd flip that thing over with everything I had in me. This guy with the "I was scared" bull crap is a disgusting human being. RIP Levi. Rot in prison Karl.
Just shows how thick skinned karl is 2 be out in shed watch truck pin his child....and walk away taking wife to family funeral and come back home with the attitude of "wt the heck Levi still here??" Absolute piece of shite...then hav the cheek 2 run in2 house" call the ambo" bs.....wouldn't want 2 cross this fulla!! Rest in peace Levi ur safe with yr mumma now!!😇😇🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜.
@@WobblesandBean :OMG ...I was under the impression tht was a malicious accusation not a fact😥😥😥.then yes I totally agree with u.....theres is a place 4 perpetrators who S.A people, especially children and most definitely their own children 😥😥🤬🤬and it's flaming hot!!!
It's sick how badly he manipulated his son. To get him to buy the insurance to sign the will over to him as sole heir. Levi trusted his Dad was helping him. He was planning his murder for awhile. And Cindy saved her own life turning him in. She was next with a 1.2 million insurance policy on her.
I agree with all that. It also has to be said that this was a real failure for law enforcement that he was ever able to get away with the murder of his wife years before that and was even able to have the chance to kill his son. I think that's really something that needs to be said.
Huge props to Cindy - from the start, during the 911 call, she came across as a genuine kind person. She showed great bravery and strength by trusting her gut instinct and not only getting away from Karl but also choosing to put herself at risk in order to get the truth about Levi’s death. Although the first recording didn’t actually work it still ended up being very beneficial since the detectives were able to not only use the information she provided but I’m sure the fact they allowed him to believe they had also “heard” his original confession to Cindy gave them extra leverage. It’s amazing he managed to get away with the murder of his wife, hopefully her poor sister has gotten some peace knowing he is locked up.
@@R4G4M3MN0N wtf are you laughing at? The woman was kind and gentle. That was her manner. She feared for own life by the time she did the first recording and yet, she did it again to get the truth. That is bravery right there. She could have just walked away.
I know I’m late. Just wanted to comment on how desperate he was to get back with Cindy. He went as far as to confess his crime in hopes of getting back with her. He only wanted to do that because he knew he has a 1.2 million insurance on her. He needed her as close as possible to be able to stage her death whenever he deemed fit. He obviously wouldn’t be able to do that with her gone from the house.This man is pure evil.
@@Facedless oh, I didn't think you were referencing a Urban legend in particular. I've seen some people think it was real and that's why I said something. Sorry, have a nice day
Thank God Cindy paid attention to her intuition and the red flags it brought up. He had the biggest policy out on her, and I’ve no doubt she was on his list of victims, as well as his granddaughters. It was only a matter of time. To say he’s narcissistic is an understatement. He is a murderous sociopath. Even one of his brothers recognized this fact. The detectives are amazing! I can’t imagine having to put in the amount of time they did with this horrid man. I give them kudos galore. Rest In Peace Christine and Levi, and all the innocent animals this man killed for money. He is despicable.
Her AND his granddaughters. I 100% believe he had something planned for them when the timing and opportunity presented itself. Maybe another fire, carbon monoxide or 'freak' car accident that would kill them all at once. Cindy saved a lot of people being so brave. He would never stop as long as he could get insurance on someone.
I remember a conversation I had with a fire marshal once. He said “one fire in a lifetime is a tragic accident. Two fires is a case of insurance fraud.” He said he’d believe you were struck twice by lightning before he’d believe you had two accidental house fires. …the fact that Karl escaped scrutiny with all of this history is kind of crazy.
the fact he cashed in multiple insurances before people got suspicious of him shows how dangerous he is. all that talking, he had a ready answer for everything
Lol your fire Marshall doesn't live in a house of people... I had tenants that burnt their food so often, the house was constantly smoking. *They'd go have a shower while fish is cooking on the stove, and you'd see the puddles from the bathroom to the stove where the element was on from person going back and forth. This is a supposed cook at a restaurant, too!*
Karl used to work for my husband. He said he always felt bad for Karl’s bad luck. He said Karl was a good “actor” and had such a sob story. He is an extremely dangerous man!
I've been burnt severely before, and am now a paramedic. From personal experience I can tell you, being burnt does not feel like getting hit with any amount of baseball bats, not 1, not 5. Not to mention burns of the level he describes leave severe disfigurement in the worst of cases, and significant scarring in the best of cases. Then we get into the medical side of things and know that an intense blast of heat to the face like described will leave airway burns so bad that his airway would have begun swelling and closing before an ambulance ever got there, he'd barely be able to breathe, if at all and a rescue cricothyrotomy would have to be performed, which will then require a tracheotomy or at minimum a stoma, and those were not temporary back when that fire happened. Had he been burned ANYWHERE near as badly as he claimed, he would have still been in the hospital a week and a half later when he reports he moved. I spent three months in the hospital and that was for my legs.
It's pretty much a trait of narcissists that they think they can just spew out lies without any real thought or effort, and expect people to be stupid enough to believe them.
@@CMALL95 I imagine its a terrible terrible way to go. Probably one of the worst. In fact, smoke inhalation and breathing in hot fumes is so torturous, that during the 9/11 attacks, many people decided that jumping 80+ stories, to their certain death, was far far better than being in those buildings. Yikes. Let that sink in for a moment
I actually found it really overacted, it would have made me extremely uncomfortable :D. At some point it even looks like it is staged to be funny like at 02:00:09 when he is obviously trying real hard to mirror the suspect. I feel like he just had a seminar about interrogation techniques and was trying real hard to put all of them into practice simultaneously ;).
@@vihta545 well it was actually brilliant because narcissist believe the world revolves around them so these overacted attempts to appeal with his self image in the end made him admit. A narcissist wouldnt think “why is he touching me im uncomfortable” they would instead go “i have him touching me so obviously he is concerned with me” as they want all attention on them.
These were some good fucking detectives based solely on this footage. They carefully put together their case, let him talk n talk n talk, then sealed his fate. Masterfully done.
@@Wqht12 sry this is kinda long... it's always a combination of the genetic factor and how the person is raised. If they develop a certain perception of the world around them that is false it becomes second nature to act in this manner. Essentially you could have someone born who never develops the frontal lobe responsible for feelings psychopaths don't feel like compassion, empathy, sympathy, understanding in a deep sense but because they were raised in a home where those qualities and traits were valued they would still be capable of living a normal non psychopathic life. It is when and unfortunately it's more common than not but it's when someone like that is born into into a family where those traits and qualities aren't valued or worse no real guidance is given then the person's inability to develop there frontal lobe takes over and they observe what we perceive as something not unlike naturalistic or animalistic behavior obviously called psychopathy by the main fields of study around it. Even worse is when they learn there is no perceived consequence for their behavior. And they learn from an environment of the same lack of empathy and compassion and sympathy. Then the psychopathy goes as far as their brain will take it.
Oh come on! He wasn’t so bad. He did buy his grandkids a $12 thanksgiving turkey after he ONLY made 3/4 of a million dollars off of murdering their father! Guy is practically the patron saint of generosity in my opinion.
These people get away with it once or twice & they get more confident & believe they can keep getting away with it! He rolled the dice & took it a step further by trying to profit through the death of his own son!! Unconscionable!!
I love how you always show the pictures of the victims in these videos to remind us that these are real people. It's easy to just get caught up in the puzzle and facts, forgetting that the victims were people with hopes and dreams.
It’s crazy to me that the people we see randomly outside in the world at stores or random area they could be gone the next day or someday, or maybe that’s just how I think about life lol
@@Tsukino1011 this is why we must actively try to be intentionally with everyone all the time .we must always try to see the humanity in people . this means so much to me cuz if people would just remember that we are all indeed human with personal feeling , pain ,joy ,family, friends and desires ,then we might be more carful with people. nothing makes me more mad then a person who can make the conscience choice to inflict unimaginable pain to some just off a fleeing thought .its disgusting . we all need the same things in this hard life even when each of us dont know.
That fact doesn't escape my mind. It's because of it why I can even listen to these sycopaths (misspelling is intentional lol) rambling on and on. That's what's so morbidly mesmerizing about these cases. Also needs to mentioned, HOW did he (or anyone for that matter) evade the checks and balances for so long? Is it because it's America and they just don't give as much shlt? Ex-frucking-plain to me how that's possible. In my country, they would be escorted into the bootyhouse soon after the first one. Did he have like five? I'm speechless. God Bless America
couple months ago i had a brush up with an HVAC service tech who spent 30 minutes telling me about his "secret" naval intelligence job. Supposedly he got shot in the leg and stuck in a french hospital but he didn't like the food so he stole a bunch of sheets, tied them into a rope, and climbed out the window to go get a cheeseburger. It was so ridiculous i just had to let him keep going.
Me & my husband have a friend like this, his stories are larger than life. When hes out of earshot, we laugh about how his missions are so super duper secret, they are imaginary. Once he even retold us a storyline straight from a movie, he only forgot we were with him at the movies watching said flick couple days before. It was priceless. If something amazing happens to him one day, I surely wont believe it.
@@janemiettinen5176lmao that's crazy I wish I was y'all friends because that just sounds hilarious some people do feel the need to make their life's seem fun or exciting or they just like to lie either way is ridiculous lol 🤣
Cindy is one smart lady! A fighter didn't let a psycho dictate the life of her and her kids. She fought for the justice for her step son. I admire this woman!!
@Ismellfishallaroundfish we don't know if she saw him. Narcissistic people have a special way of hiding it. She was most likely brainwashed as well into thinking what was happening was normal and "ok".
The real heroes of this story is Cindy and the Sister of Chris's Sister. One was smart enough to note the behavioral oddities, and the other was smart to make sure have tape recordings of the fire documented.
Exactly! Wish I had a loving step-mother. She’s not. She’d always beat me & my 2 older siblings w/ kitchen utensils and pinch us w/ her toes. I was only 6 yrs old. My so-called “father” re-married after my beautiful and kind Mommy died of pulmonary hypertension allergic reaction at Balboa Naval Hospital. A VERY BAD HOSPITAL! They knew she was allergic! They’d given it to her anyway! She died! I remembered this “father” carrying me onto her hospital bed to tell me to say goodbye. I didn’t understand why she wasn’t smiling and not opening up her eyes. He told me to say goodbye. I gave her a kiss. My older sis and older bro were crying hard. I didn’t understand…😢 I’d see her visit often until I was 14! Her beautiful perfume smell and see her at our old house! I’d be so excited saying Mommy’s here! I haven’t seen her since. I’m so sad. Still crying out to her. She doesn’t even have a gravestone. This so-called former “father” doesn’t even care to visit her. I’m the only visiting her grave. I’m always able to see spirits of my papa and grandma and uncle, friends and help others that want to give messages to their loved ones to say goodbye. It’s all up to God. I used to be scared as a kid of seeing ghosts. I’ve grown accustomed to it all if they’re bad I’ll sense it. Anyhow, this evil man is going to suffer life in prison and go to hell for all eternity! May those he’s killed Rest in Paradise. 😔🤍
It's always amazing to me how psychopaths get distracted and forget to pretend to be emotionally distraught, and then they pick it up again and don't think anyone noticed.
Imagine calling your dead son "Son." The way murderers distance themselves by not using someone's name is always so disrespectful and disgusting and just such a huge give away.
@@Flutterbyebutterfly Is that actually funny to you? What's funny about it? I have yet to know a person that isn't exactly that with their heart. It's amazing what people do to try to hide who and what they are, isn't it? The greater the saying the more apparent and obvious it is outwardly. But nobody would want to know what's going on inwardly in anyone's heart. The reason for the consistent patterns is not because of what the world says but because of the perfect judgment from the Creator above on evil. Evil is not just literal murder and robbery. No one is good. Not even a single soul that's not in a literal prison. But man is in a very real spiritual. A slave to his own flesh and sin. Like a robot 🤖 almost. How perfect is the consistency and blindness and patterns of those that literally murder others? They may put on a little different image on the outside and a little bit different of an act, but not even one human being that ever lived is any different within their heart. Everyone that does any evil with their heart will go blind right in that moment and will not be able to see the intentions and thoughts of the evil they did. There will be a burden and a weight and guilt that comes as a judgment from above for the wickedness in the heart that was done. This will spiritually feel like a pressure that someone cannot bear. The next thing someone will do is look to condemn and point the finger and dump their literal sins that they just did in that moment and blame someone else for the exact same thing they just did themselves. Test every fiber of it and see if it isn't true with self and with anyone you know. A Literally anyone. I know thats who and what I am and that it's been proven true for me. Now the truth can be seen by those that see it. And there's patterns in these things that repeat for a reason. One of those patterns is that nobody in their heart can acnowledge or handle what they did or bear it. Cain cannot bear it and that's a punishment for cain. Cain is all man. Adam is all man. Eve is all mankind. When they break down and start somewhat acknowledging it with the mouth, notice that even through they're acknowledging they are still telling lies. The guy doing the video says it plainly all the time. When there's proof of any kind of lie through an acknowledgement, that means that that person's heart did not actually acknowledged anything they did but found a way to justify and bypass it in their heart. No one can believe the image that the beast(all man) sells. It's there to deceive. That's it. It's there to put on an act which is deceiving neighbors with intent. Another pattern is that every single murderer knows the basic morals of literal murder. Every single one of them that ever killed someone knows they did evil. Because the Creator tells them what they did in spirit right to their face, and man cannot acknowledge it. Cannot. It's just an act and a deception to put on the act of multiple personality disorder to try to save its soul. Hollywood has revealed that even through their movie's in plain sight that the killer knows exactly what they're doing at all times. The devil cannot hide it sends but it pours out its own folly like guts coming out of someone's stomach that's been hanged on a tree for a while. They put on the act and believe their own lies and cannot come out. Cannot. Well unless they would truly repent. Everyone will try to play innocent, stupid and play the victim. All for the purpose to save its soul. The only thing that it cares about is its own self and no one else. And man's works prove it every single day. "He who is saving his soul, SHALL be destroying it. But he who destroys his soul, SHALL be finding life." Everyone is doing one of those two things. There is no lukewarm middle, there is no 3rd thing. Those are the two things. Good or evil. And Adam and Eve can see no distinguishing difference between good and evil on that tree. Zero discernment. Every actual good work from the heart looks like evil to man. I've seen the proof over and over and over again that good works cannot be believed by anyone that they even exist. Must sound pretty stupid right now to those who do not see anything at all. Good works are possible and they're rarer than the most rare gems and diamonds. But it's impossible with man. Man can't do it of himself. He must deny his whole soul and life as the true Messiah did to do his Creators will. 1 Corinthians 1:18-21 For the message of the stake is foolishness *to those who are perishing* but to us who are being saved it is the power of Elohim. [19] For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." [20] Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world? [21] For since, in the wisdom of Elohim, the world through wisdom did not know Elohim, it pleased Elohim through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. Now truly the exact same thing his one man's treasure in another man's garbage dump. The thing that should be good for man is the most evil thing and horrible to him. Because a man is whatever he believes in his heart, so it becomes and will become. "As you have *believed*, so let it be done to you. They do honor Him with the mouth, but their heart is far from Him. So it is. So it must be to the very end. And indeed will be, and get much much worse. The image of the beast is coming out so that it can be exposed and destroyed. The image of the whole world is slipping and coming off. And anybody that's alive will see who and what man really is when restraint is let loose that's been there as a gift to many by the Creator all along. It could be anyone that ends up going severely blind in one moment and ends up murdering someone. Not a single person can believe what they have done after it's done. Because that judgment doesn't, unless the murderer is actually done. No one can comprehend how horrible and terrifying the Judgment of literal murderer is...... Until it's done. That's the knowledge of the devil. Foolishness. Man thought he could handle, but not even one soul has ever been able to handle it. It will torment them severally the rest of their days. Beyond comprehension. It really is astonishing and sad. The Creator must be feared. Fearing Him leads to running away from sin. Because the heart finally starts believing in His mighty judgments for it. What a crazy world it is? Almost unbelievable. That contrast will be appreciated by all someday. Right now it's just an incredibly dense thick fog, and most everyone cannot see. And those that do see now, were also completely blind. Not even one righteous, nope not even one.
@@lightexposesdarkness154 Preaching to the converted here buddy 🙏🏼 It’s funny to me yes because I’ve witnessed psychopaths act like this in front of my eyes. Whether it’s in act or not it’s outstanding to see it play out right in front of you. You need to chill out mate.
@@lightexposesdarkness154 Just for next time maybe try simplify what you’re saying, I’m a believer but I can assure you right now if I wasn’t I wouldn’t of gave you’re book of a comment any time.

OH MY GOD! Just casually watching this and as soon you describe the house fire in Murphys it all came back to me! My dad was called to jury duty for this guy in Calaveras County when he came back to CA to stand trial. After my dad told me about the case we both agreed he should have got the death penalty.
God bless your dad, and you. Stay safe and learn about flying monkeys, this pretender will still have fans who would do his evil bidding thinking they are doing the right thing 🙏🙏🙏
The way he talks, it 100% screams narcissist. Especially the big dramatic stories that center around himself, his pain, his "heroism," his misfortunes, and all of them exaggerated to sound extra dramatic. I noticed the detectives seemed to catch onto this and that's why they started acting like a captive audience and really leaning into his stories, exaggerating their own reactions to feed his ego and encourage him to keep going. It's fascinating to watch these interactions!
I know! This is one of my fave interrogations right now it’s pretty crazy how obviously narcissistically psychopathic he is with the way he talks in the interrogation room and for how long 8-9HOURS jeez! But I wonder what he acts like outside of that walking around in the world looking for his next big paycheck…..now that’s scary because he was easily able to get into relationships pretty fast afterward. This case is a particularly gut-wrenching and sad one overall….
@@1rage17 I totally agree! It is scary to think about how easily they can get in relationships and fit into society seeming like an average person on the surface. People like him seem very charming on the surface but are really master manipulators. It's fascinating seeing the detectives not falling for his lies one bit and chipping away at them with evidence and logic. They used his ego to keep him talking and picked apart his stories until he knew he'd been backed in a corner he couldn't weasel his way out of. I was really impressed with how they turned the table on him like that!
@@arendaria my ex spouse was a textbook narcissist. I admitted to my therapist that I felt really stupid for not realizing, but she said that’s the problem- you don’t realize someone’s a narcissist until it’s too late. They act charming, sensitive, and do and say everything you want to hear until you’re trapped. Only after you’ve invested years into the relationship do the cracks start to show. Meanwhile, they gaslight you and convince you that you are crazy and the one with the problem.
The quality of these videos is seriously amazing. To think I just watched all of a 2 hour interrogation and was so hooked I listened to an hour of it while driving to work. I can't imagine what it must be like to trim down 9 hours of interrogation footage to only the parts pertinent for the story and then add the narration and visual edits. You guys are awesome.
One of the best channels and why I got into watching interrogations. Dreading is a great channel also. You should watch the Nancy Brophy case on dreading. Crazy!
Then why do they all say the same crap in the same old tired way? It's just a cash-cow and they're milking other people's tragedies for their own gain. The people making these videos are probably just as psychopathic as the people featured in them.
Would it have been better if he murdered his son, and then gave the money to the granddaughters? So, murder is okay, just so long as you pay the victims family.
The fact the window was boarded up is highly suspicious, if the fire was investigated properly in the first place, lives could have been saved, the fact his son's wife didn't know about Levi's life insurance and never saw a penny of it is the biggest red flag IMO.
It baffles me that this guy wasn't looked into a lot sooner! How did no law enforcement find it suspicious how Karl kept losing family and possessions under "tragic circumstances" that ultimately benefitted him financially? Just the way he speaks about his late wife Chris and Levi is a major red flag!
Same thoughts. I'm guessing it has to do with the lack of exchange of information back in the day. I don't think anything similar would fly today - atleast, I hope it doesn't.
Exactly, and moreover under the same tragic circumstances every time. I'm glad that the detectives that handled this case at least did their due diligence correctly and recognized the pattern. They did a great job with the interrogation as well, I don't think anybody would have gotten a full confession out of him.
@@CodeeXD What evidence do you have to support that claim? It seems a bit uncharacteristic for a nation in which technology is such an integral part and heavily accentuates national security to not have this information to be more widespread or more easily accessible to law enforcement agencies.
@@CodeeXD that one might be different because warrants are only good for specific areas I think. I have a friend who can drive anywhere in the city but this one town next to it she doesn't go to because she has a warrant for an unpaid ticket. Does seem that warrants don't pass areas but at the same time, doesn't seem he had a warrant to begin with
Because it's a tragic incident, and people with cognitive disorders like ASPD can be pretty good at making emotions seem genuine. Seeing as he had already done this before, his confidence that he would get away was higher. And he felt more comfortable with talking as a result. That combined with experienced interrogators lead him to make a series of errors when constructing his story. To know for sure we'd have to look at the previous cases.
you should do an "innocent" complation. id love to see the differences in a guilty and non guilty interogation. they didnt show videos like these in college.
They’ve done a couple - I can’t remember what it’s called but they’ve got two innocent guys being interrogated who were innocent. One was calm, one was very much NOT calm 😅
@@neonfrootit would make a difference, I would love to see any potential cases where people legitimately did end up accidentally incriminating themselves bc of pressure when they were actually innocent, or cases where people acted super suspicious but had no involvement in something
There was a recent one where the killer blamed a distant acquaintance, milton. He was visibly upset and angry at the accusation as stated an innocent person would be. The detectives took it as him being uncooperative and he went to jail. They had no evidence other than he was wearing clothes the killer said he was wearing. He probably would have stayed in jail and potentially might have been convicted had the detectives not got lucky with the killer finally confessing. The detectives did a very bad job in that one because they should have picked up on red flags like when the key witness/killer kept changing the story. One iteration she said she was scared to tell the truth because the guy who did it was in a gang and she was afraid for her life. The detectives still let her go home that night... Assuming she was telling the truth why would you let her go and potentially get murdered blowing up all the progress and leads they had?... Surpirse surprise the cops couldn't find her the next day... The biggest thing is always lawyer up. As soon as you find yourself in an interrogation room and feel you are a suspect ask for a lawyer no matter what. don't try and talk your way out of it even if you are innocent. If your spouse was murdered you know you're a suspect given the statistics. Without a lawyer they could probably get anyone to confess to just about anything. like in this video after 9 hours of just being grilled you'd probably crack just to get out of the situation, and that's the point of their strategy.
I swear at the end when the narrator said “but on the day his trial was set to begin, a strange thing happened”. I swear I was I legit wishing he was going to say “his jail cell was set on fire, coincidentally Cindy had just altered the insurance claim for accidental jail deaths….. “ would have been quite poetic lol
I use to hate this channel, thinking the narrator talked to much but this has become my FAVORITE true crime channel and I thank you for your work! Keep going bud!
Honestly it was textbook. The detectives used every part of the Reid technique, good cop bad cop, the whole thing and for 9 hours straight. It was like watching a master class. I confessed to killing Levi about ten times.
This man is PURE EVIL. My sibling recently passed away in an accident, in their early 20s. All members in my family have life insurance. Having to do the paper work to get the funds and handle the estate is an awful, awful feeling. My parents can't help but cry whenever they have to handle such things because we would much rather have our loved one here than any amount of money. Disgusting.
That so awful... I'm so sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to bury their child. It's unnatural. I lost my Uncle when he was very young (brain cancer, diagnosed at 18 dead just after his 22nd birthday) My grandparents had life insurance for him and each of their 4 children. When he had passed and all of the paperwork had finally gone through they used what they had to, to pay hospital bills and the rest they gave to the cancer ward he had stayed in because they couldn't stand seeing it there in their bank account. They hated the idea that they got money out of his pain and suffering and subsequent death, so they decided to put it to good use and hopefully help some other child survive their battle with cancer.
The fact this man “withstood” 9 hours of interrogation and damning evidence without fully coming clean shows how much of p.o.s he really is. Then to learn he had more policies on his 2nd wife and his grandchildren is vile. Completely self serving with no remorse. No doubt he was planning to do it again and again. If someone had done their job after the first fire, or even the second fire, and especially the third fire, then Levi would still be here for his kids.
Yeah. I would've laughed in the dude's face when he made a big fuss about the truck fire posing a threat to the nukes - as if nukes get detonated like that. And he was supposed to be designing the launch codes? 🤣
He thought he could outrun a nuke "on fire?" Usually psychopaths are believed to have a rather high amount of intelligence, but this guy takes stupidity to the next level.
It's funny how if you make a sociopath or a narcissist feel comfortable enough, you just have to sit back and do nothing while they keep talking themselves into a deeper and deeper hole. Especially if you want evidence that they're lying about something, but even for no reason they'll do this. It's like they just can't resist telling grandiose stories about themselves and lying in general.
Very very true. There's even a channel here on UA-cam where a true blue narcissist goes on and on. The thing about having Narcissistic Personality Disorder, NPD, is they don't get help. They lie all the time for attention and to try to control how others see them. The channels here are Amberlynn Reid and FoodieBeauty (this one also has BPD and is more histrionic than Amberlynn Reid) These channels are hilarious self-reports and much easier to watch through reaction channels.
People without these disorders are the same way. People crave attention and enjoy speaking about themselves. It takes a far more conscious effort to not speak, especially when pushed by detectives like this
As a sociopath this is wrong :/ and kinda rude lmao but I see where you’re coming from and agree to a certain extent on the types of people who would do that. I guess.
I've seen this story before, absolutely disgusting that a father could be so vile. I'm glad Cindy helped get justice for Levy. Thank you for your in depth coverage of this story. I love your videos.
@@SuGirlabk7993 You're right, absolutely heartbreaking. And to then find out he also had life insurance on his own grandkids, absolutely disgusting. He deserves to rot in jail.
I totally agree with u! It is absolutely horrible what he did , I can never understand how a parent can do that to their own children. My heart definitely goes out to the family!
Do you believe in God? Than you most know evil is Just next door its no excuse. And it wound be the last of time. Beautifull world but with fuckt up People
My mother knew this mans wife who died in the fire. My mother always felt so sorry for him, considering... the amount of untimely losses he had. Only for her to years later see him on the true crime networks...
Unclean/demonic spirits can disguise themselves [within the host body] very well most times-in an effort to avoid detection, and many times it isn’t until their true nature begins to manifest [which is seen through the actions of the host them] that a person is able to identify the spirit that is truly running a person-we can know them by their fruits! This is way Jesus said: “You MUST be born again,” and “born by The HOLY Spirit;” because every single human on earth is at war [internally] battling these incredibly wicked spiritual forces-the evil principalities that exist in the unseen realm, and who have control over the world as we know it!
Covert narcissists are clever at looking like the humble victim "shucks ...I try so hard BUT I have so much bad luck" Karls Evil was revealed, he burned his 1st wife alive, then stepped inside the vehicle to crush his own son underneath it - whilst putting country music (the son hated country) blaring on the radio whilst he bled to death... how cruel & callous can you get 🎯 He failed to get help for his dying son, spent 4 hours with his wife at funeral, then performed his showtime "discovery" of the son he had killed. Please watch the whole video, there's more, I escaped a husband like this - there are little tells even though its hard to prove. God will reveal, God will avenge!
I love this channel. Many of these cases I’ve seen on true crime podcasts here on UA-cam but they don’t have all the info and video you do. It’s amazing to see the in depth interrogations that go with the cases! It gives such a comprehensive view of how whatever happened went down. Sometimes you see these other UA-cam videos and you wonder how could anyone do that and this channel fills in those blanks!
That was a masterclass in interrogation. The detectives let him talk and talk since they knew he is a narcissist who would just lie and lie, then turned up the heat and threw all his lies back in his face, not letting him talk which drove him to back spasms, lol. I also appreciate the format of this channel and the well-researched commentary and qualifying statements when they are speculating. No fat in these episodes!
He didnt provide any new information, no new evidence, no weapon, no means, no motive they didnt know about, no nothing. All they got out of this nine hours long quest for confession was an extra reason to arrest him on the spot, and I bet they already had enough for that evidence-wise. At the end dude pleaded guilty on second degree (not premeditated killing), which means that he stick to his version ("left his son die due to accident"). All the insurance fraud charges have been dropped, intentional murder charges have been dropped. His confession and that nine hour long mental rape was absolutely for nothing.
Letting a narcissist talk without applying pressure is not effective. After all they whole MO is to give props to themselves. The detectives did a good job of curbing Karl's tangents.
what you guys do not understand is that there are great detectives out there who can make you confess to things you never did. I have an uncle who was one and he manipulates most people in his life that's why lots of people hates him.
Yes! I spend HOURS watching these I hate that they put sooooooooo much of the interrogations on. I wish they'd show some of it instead of houuuurrrssssss.
The “good cop”, did a great job and it was so necessary, because once he got through, “bad cop” comes in like a hammer and splits him right open, those last 15 minutes was, wow, the posture, on the edge of his chair, back straight but leaned forward, the tone of voice, that is a predator and the dad was a cornered animal. Amazing.
You can tell how much we love this channel and appreciate your hard work by the fact that this video was released 57 minutes ago and is already being watched by 25,000 people. Thank you from Glos, UK.
The detective who connected with him about growing up on a farm, having the same railroad jacks, gave the most masterful take down of a narcissist I have ever seen. That was a thing of incredible beauty. All of them did great assists but as someone who has been abused by narcissists most of their life and subsequently began studying psychology, I am wowed beyond belief by what he did there. Masterclass. 👏 👏 👏 👏
I’m trying to grasp what you’re saying I keep rewatching the same part to see if I could catch what you observed. I enjoy seeing other people’s perspectives
The most traumatic moment of this guy's life is having to wear used underwear, literally no emotions in this one at all. It's amazing he was able to convince not one but 2 wives that he ever loved them, or their kids.
The wives/girlfriends in a lot of these more interesting cases are idiots. Because it is the psychos with idiots around him that get away with it long enough to make an interesting story.
@@ivysweet4467 I am a psychiatrist, and nothing in your comment makes sense, even if we disregard your misunderstanding of the term "delusional". Psychopaths are extremely charming and convincing. People who meet them find them to be the nicest and most likeable people, healthy men and women alike, not just "delusional women". Their complete disregard for the feelings of others, how people perceive them and the consequences of their actions makes them extremely good at lying and manipulation. In this case, you can see he was able to deceive not just his wife, but also his kids, fire investigators, law enforcement, and insurance companies despite multiple suspicious incidents. This woman was extremely brave, clever and resourceful and without her decisive action, he would likely have gone on to kill others. It's easy to judge after everything has been revealed, but the fact is that the vast majority of people would not be able to tell a psychopath from an upstanding healthy person.
@@gigiarmany Well that's the whole point of my comment. It's not just gullible people that get won over by psychopaths, it's also intelligent, confident, healthy people as well. They're just that good at faking being good people. Even for those of us who work with and study psychopaths for a living, it takes many years of working with a patient to be able to diagnose antisocial personality disorder (the DSM-5 diagnosis for psychopathy)
Listening to this guy is exactly like listening to my old boss. Telling absolutely unbelievable stories with complete conviction. And he's the big hero in every single one of them.
The stepmother and his grandkids were undoubtedly next on his list. Those detectives saved their lives- thx to the stepmother's intuition. What a sicko!!
My father is just like this dude. Crazy thing.. i watched this and later a few months, my pos father tried jacking my car up on a weird spot. I noticed, and called him out on it.. His face turned white and he wouldnt respond. Im l asked him if he knew sabotaging your kids car to fall on him is kinda messed up right?
@@waragainstmyself1159so you watched this then proceeded to accuse your own father of trying to kill you in the same manner? I hope he stays away from you.
I found my big sister deceased in her house, after not managing to gain access because she wouldn’t answer the door. Called the police to do a welfare check & there she was. Passed away in her living room. I then had to go tell our mum. She literally collapsed to the side as she sat on the stair. I seen her just loose all awareness & strength. She went into complete shock right in front on my eyes. We weren’t able to stop the floods of tears for at least 2 weeks. None stop brain numbing crying, sleeping on the sofa together & just trying to survive in this living nightmare. After her funeral we went into a different type of grief. It’s amazing how our bodies adjust. But straight away after finding you’re child dead, this man’s a complete fool for thinking anyone would believe those disgusting lies!
@@alexwyatt2911 ThankYou for you’re comment, thankfully time is a great healer! Never understood that saying until now. Our brains adjust to people being gone & we learn to live with the grief. I miss her so much though, she was my best friend, my big sister who was by my side since I was born. It’s now just a part of my life missing her. We’ve learned to deal with it & push through for each other & our children. I appreciate you’re comment 🫶🏻
Sorry for your loss, I lost my brother in a car accident 16 yrs ago I was only 16 and I remember at 3:30 am something just woke me up, I was going back and forth in my bedroom trying to call him like hundred times and he didn't answer, I then walked out to see my mother sitting in the living room just having difficulty sleeping as if we knew something bad happened but we didn't know what it was, after like 2 hours we heard the news from my father. My family was never the same after losing him. I really can't understand how a father doesn't shed one tear over his kid !!!!!
@@Mashael199opI’m so sorry for you & you’re families loss 😔 that’s so sad it’s like you & you’re Mum knew something had happened. & yes I agree, doesn’t make any sense to us because we’re not like him. There’s nothing in this world I would want more than my sister back with us. I know for a fact you’ll be the same about you’re brother. It’s sickening to the core. Man never deserved his kids he had. I really hope you & you’re family have come to some form of peace. I know it’s never the same ever again though ❤️
Cindy is the MVP... she took things into her own hands. After listening to his ridiculous stories of mysterious fires multiple times and dodgy insurance claims I am shocked he wasn't caught sooner.
This happened in the town over from me. Cindy had previously been married to my best friend's father. She has always been a no-nonsense type of woman, doesn't take shit from no one.
My parents had life insurance on us kids. But my dad lost his brother to cancer at the age of 5 and grandma also had a still birth. We didn’t have a lot money in the 80’s and 90’s, so my parents wanted to make sure if anything happened, the could afford to bury us. The life insurance was only enough to cover a basic funeral. They cashed it out when we became adults and got our own, then gave us the money they got for it. Which was only a grand. Went towards a down payment on a car. And they didn’t have to do any of that but they did. My parents are awesome.
@@nightmareoracle wow that’s messed up. I’m sorry. Me and my dad received inheritance from my gramma too but we share everything, I always feel very fortunate to have genuinely good, selfless people as parents cause I know most don’t have that. My parents were separated since I was 11 but they never fought over me like tried to get custody or whatever..we were always a unit & i always had the choice to go move in with either parent or whenever I wanted. Even they moved apart we’re all always visiting each other’s places anyways. Even my mom being a gambler and my dad an alcoholic they were never bad parents to me never abused me or did anything out of spite to me or each other. I guess I just became one of the somewhat lucky ones.
I thought about doing that, my daughter hd cancer as a toddler and I thought I would not be able to work if anything happened to them so insurance would cover living expenses. It seemed so grisly to insure them so I didnt. My daughter is 19 now and cancer free. F$&k Cancer!
My parents did the same. Lots of parents do. Having whole life, which is for a specific time period, usually until the kid turns 18, and has an annuity which grows to a certain amount in the event that the life insurance isn’t needed, isn’t unusual. It’s almost seen like a savings plan.
If he wasn't stopped those grandchildren would've been next. Thank you! Thank you! For the subtitles. The effort it takes to just do that is not lost on me or other deaf/hard of hearing people who love your channel.
I’M not personally deaf, but my brother is but loves UA-cam and is constantly watching something. It upsets me that, while UA-cam does have integrated cc, it isn’t always user created and instead it’s the platform guessing what they’re saying. Creators who fix up the cc or, even better, edit it in, are godsent. I appreciate wholly that my brother (as well as others) are able to watch their videos with a complete understanding. Thank you.
Fair play to Cindey Karlsen for trying to catch him out, and reporting her suspicious to the police....no doubt he'd still be at! Love this channel! Keep up the good work guys! 💜🇮🇪
I don't think I have ever seen detectives put this much pressure on somebody. 8 hours of pressing this guy takes some serious patience and self control
If only they could have darkened the room & turned the desk light on his face. If Karl with his big brain nuke truck driving was still resisting then Mr Rubberhose needs to have a chat.
These detectives were amazing, and uncovered so much more than Karl ever expected. Levi mustve been screaming at first, otherwise Karl wouldn't have turned the volume up on country music just to be even more cruel to Levi. His fake crying, my ex does all that crap too, and guess what, my son recently passed at my exs house, in April. We don't have a death certificate because the coroner can't find the cause of death. Prayers for my son, Jack would be appreciated, for divine justice
As a parent, I couldn’t even fathom what it would be like to lose my son. I don’t think I could go on without him existing. This is the darkest form of evil.
I have a 2 year old daughter.. the other day we were alone at home, she got on a little coffe table(she did that often) it can easily hold her so i wasnt worried i was watching her anyway, she knows how to get off of the bed and chairs and stuff.. but this time she decided to go head first and fell on her head.. i saw it happening like in slow motion i couldnt react fast enough.. was less than a fucking second too late.. anyway she began crying A LOT like not usual cries i was afraid shes gonna die...i checked her head if she can move her body and everything she wanted to puke and that really fcking sracred me because ... then it can be brain hamorage that and if she wants to sleep.. luckly she didnt puke, it was more because she cried a lot but when i tried all i could to help her i just prayed to god to take me insted if it comes to that and cried with her in my hands, nothing happend.. shes alright but it made me think how much i actually love her.. i would easily give ny life for hers not even a single tought... and this guy.. he killed his kid and idk.. i just dont understand how 😅
Somebody took my cat & Id give everything I own to have my Baby back & I didnt carry her for 9mths or bottle feed & watch her develop. This man could kill his horses & wives he made vows with also. He looks human💜🙏💜
@Y Nerf Thank u! Not knowing is hell! AWP help ppl get up with closure. I need Lassie, she/he'd find my Baby. Well in the movies! Kids dont get Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Mr Ed, Flicka or Blk Beauty but violence but they got BABE!
i can’t stop frowning at the 911 call. the pain in her voice, she wasn't even his mom yet she was more distraught and a better parent than this heinous man. i've read this case before but i never got the full story or heard the 911 call but this is already breaking my heart. levi looked to be such a nice man. he was the same age as me when he died. i can't believe a parent would do that to their own child but i know monsters do exist. cindy sounds like a lovely lady, she cared about her stepson so much that she wanted to find justice on for levi. i'm glad at least she made it out alive.
Not only that, but Cindy put her life on the line twice: If Karl had found out about the first recording or the wire, he would have just killed Cindy and she knew it.
@@themapoe she really was a selfless woman who just wanted this man to pay for what he did. i can imagine doing something like this for my kids as well, just shows how much of a mother’s love she had. cindy is so brave i really have to admire her strength to be able to even fathom putting herself in that situation, TWICE
this is shocking that 4 years go past and the police didn't think "Isn't it odd that the FATHER gets the money from his son dying, and not his grandkids?!"
They mostly did. Interrogations like this happen only when they are sure they have collected enough factual evidence. Stuff like prints, etc. Interrogation happens when 'ok we have enough evidence factually to show to the court, but lets try fishing out a confession or some details from the guy so an actual confession seals the deal easily without any margin for error. So yeah these could take years. But here's the bright side - you may think you got away with it, but you never did. Its just till the day police rings you up to 'have a chat'.
@@MuFu23 I think it's mainly to settle debts in the deceased persons name. My "grandfather" on my step dads side of the family took my sisters insurance money the military gave out and bought his wife a car instead of using it to pay off her debts. We still have debt collectors calling on her behalf to collect and her college hasn't dropped the tuition she owed. This was 3 years ago. We have to keep sending/faxing her death certificate to the collectors just so they can stop thinking we're lying to them. I really hate my step dad's father tbh. My little sister before she passed to split it between us siblings and our mom, then pay her tuition off with the rest. He said we don't need it since we are getting the one her job gave us which was not a lot and went towards her funeral.
I have life insurance that my family won't get.. it's in my business name to pay off debts and legal fees and there is no residual payout after debts and expenses are paid.
Sad that the son never found out what the truth was. if he suspected he killed his mom. What must have he been thinking while dying under that truck. Now it happened to me too.. just horrible.
It says almost halfway through that there was a CPS report because of a fight or something over Levi accusing Karl of killing his mother. So he definitely suspected it if not 100% knew
It is undeniably obvious he started all the fires and killed his son. He’s one of the most narcissistic, selfish human beings. Not once did he display genuine heartbreak for the death of his “ex wife” or his son. He deserves to rot in jail.
🎯 the only thing that pained him was having to wear second hand clothes after the fire. Wicked sick covert narcissist. When you perceive contempt run, but quietly.
I’ve watched a good number of these interrogations. And I gotta say this guy is by far one of the most selfish, self centered human beings to have ever lived. He put himself first in every aspect of his life and never gave a damn about ANYONE but himself especially not his own children. Absolute waste of a human. I pray the children are doing well!
He’s comfortable telling the fire story because he intentionally made it realistic. He probably waited to save the kids deciding if any died he would get the money for it but he needed to sell the story so he didn’t make it easy. That’s what I think
my uncle got crushed by his truck a few years back and his son tried to get it off of him with everything he had but it was obviously too late :( I can’t wrap my head around how this guy is so heartless to leave his son like that for HOURS
@@Vyansya It's not that its a farm, it's general vehicle maintenance. It's a failure of equipment and, sometimes sadly, a failure to account for potential failure of equipment. When you work on your vehicle, you need to raise it in the air, off its suspension. It is naturally precarious, and safety measures demand you have backups for your backups- solid metal purpose built stands underneath specific points along the jack holding your car up in case the hydraulics or screws in your jack fail. Some people don't do this. Some people set them improperly without realizing. Some people forget measures to keep the car from rolling when working on an incline and it comes right off the stands despite proper equipment use. Sometimes it is pure tragedy and the everything fails in the worst way possible and the safety measures didn't work. A mechanics work is inherently dangerous, and unfortunately the vehicle they are working on falling on top of them and injuring or killing the person is not an uncommon story. It's probably why it allowed the subject of the video to get away with it despite the numerous prior insurance claims on the books. It's easy to explain away because it just happens so often.
@@Vyansya my brother in law woke up on Saturday morning (may have been hungover...) in a hurry to fix something on his truck in order to be able drive to work on Monday. He had worked on autos all his life and could fix anything but for some reason, he did not "scotch" his truck. Took the drive shaft out (why I mentioned maybe hungover) so the truck rolled on him. No one found him for hours and it would probably have been to late even if they had.
@@123asd4221 yeah, true. But also the *INNOCENT VICTIMS* who were sentenced for crimes they didn't do because they didn't know their rights and allowed detectives to manipulate and systematically torture them into a false confession. Use your damn head for once LOL Everyone should know of their rights.
This is the only channel that scratches my itch for interrogation analysis after JCS stopped creating videos. Great, thoughtful commentary that adds to the overall storyline about the crime & interrogation. Keep doing what you're doing!
Massive props to Christina’s (his first wife) sister for going out and filming the burnt house in detail. She trusted her gut instinct and followed through on it

I’m still confused on why it took years for Chris’s and Levi’s deaths to be investigated.
The audacity to say he'd do anything for his grandkids while not giving them a single cent of their father's life insurance AND having life insurance out on them is grotesque.
When he said he bought them a turkey I was flabbergasted! I think he would have killed those babies. I can’t imagine insuring my children let alone grandchildren. He is just evil.

Psychopaths don't have the ability to care for anyone but themselves.
These videos are SO well made!
- No distracting music
- No dramatization
- Very well edited
- minimal voiceover/captions that precisely highlight important clues
- explains crucial info i.e. interrogation techniques or background info
Thank you
While I 100% agree with you, I also appreciate Dateline/48 Hours for the dramatization and music, production, narrators etc. It's like two different forms of TC entertainment
YES AGREE!! It drives me CRAZY when shows/documentaries added in so much garbage to make it more "dramatic "
@@PassionPaint it's this mostly. Music can enhance an experience, but you see a lot use it as filler. I suppose we all know horror and thrillers can be enhanced by minimal, but dramatic music, at key moments in a certain scenario.
Otherwise it is distracting. It's basically similar to showing some random scene - it needs to be relevant (AI still messes this up, but to be fair, humans do too, like said). If we get a 5 second frame of elmo doing some stuff in between the interview, you'd wonder what the editor was tripping on.
I agree. As someone who gets some anxiety when watching these types of videos, I've found that what triggers my fear and anxiety most is when they put suspenseful or spooky music behind the talking of the crime. I can actually watch these videos without having anxiety for the rest of the day
I agree, though as someone who works in mental health, a lot of the “psychological analysis” does bother me, as a lot of it is really broad, incorrect or outdated. Really my only criticism for this channel.
I can't believe this happened not once but repeatedly:
Investigator: "You've been through quite a loss. That must have been traumatic."
This guy: "It was! I lost every single possession I had. The fire burned my face."
Investigator: "Sir I'm talking about the death of your family..."
This guy: "Oh"
Detective: "you've had a tough life"
Him: "no I was making good money"
Such a narcasist
That’s the main thing that really stuck with me throughout the whole interrogation… like if that doesn’t immediately say he’s guilty or at least the prime suspect then idk man

Hearing the stepmother slowly process that he couldn't be brought back was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever heard in my life.
I think everyone in this case is a piece of trash the step mother would literally leave the house when he beat the kids she couldn’t of cared that much.
Agree. Horrific to have to experience that. My heart was breaking too.
Broke my heart
Broke my heart. She clearly cared about him
I watch so many of these shows , I very rarely get choked up. Obviously I feel sad or horrible for people , but that call was so heartbreaking
I 100% believe Cindy would have been the next victim and it’s once again NOT A COINCIDENCE that Cindy’s pelvic pain went away when this ghoul was imprisoned.
I thought so too!Dudes pure evil!
Oh wow. Thats awful. But weren't they apart for a time before she even got his confession?
I missed pelvic pain. What??
@@amandaprewitt949 she said that she had been having bad pain in her pelvic area and after he was out of the picture the pain went away. I have a theory he was slowly killing her.
@@TheRenegadeStarr Ah that might have been the kidneys.
It genuinely made me so happy when the detectives just started bombarding with evidence and not even giving him time to justify it. this guy is a real piece of work
VILLAIN
The long buildup of Karl's frustrating BS and self-indulgence made that moment so, so satisfying.
He is one evil bastard - he deserved the death penalty imo
It was sinisterly the pay off of this video. I have family member like this who just concocts every story and the whole time you know they are lying (thankfully , nothing as drastic as KK here). Imagine the shock of th wife when she finds out there is 1.2M policy on her!! And how do these companies continue to underwrite him? He barely waits weeks before enacting the plan each time.
Facts, but... I LOVE MF DOOM!
How in the hell did the insurance companies and the police not figure this out before hand? The man has involved in multiple situations where somebody has died suddenly and received payouts for them including even animals. It took his own wife to do their job
That’s standard operating procedure. You gotta round up all the evidence and hope they believe you. Or say there’s drugs and money. Then they’ll there in a hurry to get their cut. Ooops I mean civil asset forfeiture😉
Seriously !!
Makes you wonder if there’s anything else interesting going on. Or perhaps just incompetence.
And even fire cheif refused to investigate though brother said fire was suspicious.
You say that as if it’s not a needle in a haystack. Armchair Sherlock.
I think the most evil part of it all. Was when the detective mentioned how Karl blasted country music to muffle his son’s screams. Not only just to muffle his cries, but also to just torment him in his final moments, knowing he hated country music. It’s seriously messed up to kill for money, but the way he chose to do the killings was like he wanted his wife, and son to suffer as much as possible. I mean getting crushed, and dying in a fire are two of the worst ways to go. What an evil s.o.b
Makes my skin crawl
And the animals that died slow deaths too.
According to his daughter, his first wife was calling out for him to rescue her, but he drove off with the kids. True evil.
When it was revealed that he boarded up the window to the bathroom. Watching Colette tug at the board made my heart hit my stomach. Colette knew that man was Satan.
I read this and spoiled it. It is not your fault.
I lost my step brother to a hunting accident 21 years ago this month. My stepmom still has a hard time keeping her voice from breaking while talking about him. This guy clearly doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Hope everyone's doing well and holding on. ❤
stepmother loved and cared more about her stepson than his own biological father did. Such a great woman...I wish more step parents were like that. Or adoptive parents.
Well, she did look the other way for about 11 years while he beat his kids. The CPS report notes how Levi alleges she would (conveniently) leave the house when Karl would start beating on him. Yeah, she could've been under Karl's physical and psychological control, making it difficult to seek help for her and the kids, but I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say she's a great woman.
@@ChooChewChu just putting it out there that he could've waited till she was out to do the abuse but it's also possible she turned a blind eye as many spouses do when the other parent is being abusive
And she knew about the money the entire time and never told the grandkids or the wife
Or biological parents in the first place
The hub has lots of movies about loving step moms.
My jaw dropped when it was revealed the policy he had on his second wife. That is absolutely sinister.
Mine dropped when they mentioned the allegations against Levi… I need to know if it is true or not
my jaw dropped when i saw how ugly and stupid looking the son his wife lied about him killing was
@@Ice-ha2467 what allegations? That he burned his own house? He didn't do it. His father did it.
@@snookies1224 no they are probably referring to the whole he sexually abused his daughter thing....
@@snookies1224 about his daughter
I felt firsthand embarrassment when he started talking about how he handled nuclear technology and that he was a rocket scientist. 💀 It's also sickening to hear that he had insurance on his young grandkids. Bless Cindy and her determination to get him caught.
Me too. My arsehole did a little pucker. It even made a noise I think.
1:06:30
He did that just in case he decided he wanted to do it to them too
@@kgm4556 what noise was that?
I’m not a rocket scientist, but fire can’t set off a nuke right…?
His son was a mess because of the way his mom died. Death of parent even in normal circumstances causes deep trauma to children. Believing your Dad killed your Mom is a whole other level of pain and suffering.
didnt even think about that
I might have missed it but what made u think Levi thought his dad killed his mom? If that were the case I don't see why Levi would still be in contact with his dad and even help him by fixing his car.
Totally makes sense.
Especially since it seems the children heard their mum begging for their father to save her, and they saw him ignore Christina. Who knows how long it was before she died? Screaming, not knowing if her children were okay, killed by her own husband. This poor family
Stepmother cared more about him than his own father
Karl is definitely a very disturbing guy to say the least.
Proves that family don’t have to be blood relatives
I'm glad she decided to follow her suspicion and recorded it despite the fact that Karl cannot be heard on original recording because it pushed the police to investigate Karl and have a lead.
There's a chance that the case would've been said as an accident and he won't get punished or it gets cold and Karl would've died of old age before justice could be served.
I know right..this is crazy...
@@LilithsCosmicLounge I totally agree. The only part I don't 100% agree to is that you must be married to have a child. Marriage is kind of an old fashioned sentiment to me. Dated. Very dated. As long as the child has both a mom AND a dad. A female role model and a male role model.
The fact that the insurance money didn’t go to his kids is so sad. That’s precisely what an insurance policy is for to take care of your family if you pass.
Yeah I’m thinking Levi didn’t want a cent to go out to her wife because he was hating her by then or something. It’s a shame to be able to prioritize an adult argument over the well-being of children, but there are such immature human beings.
Also if Levi was m***sting his own kid what else can one expect 😔
@@taniamz3001 that could have been an interrogation tactic it was never confirmed or expounded upon
You can get life insurance on anybody. You could get life insurance on a homeless person if they are willing to sign the papers
Can’t help but think he had promised his son he’d make sure that money would go to the kids & not his ex.
The insurance policy was bought for him. Not the kids. He's a serial killer.
If my child was under a vehicle that was crushing the life out of them I'd flip that thing over with everything I had in me. This guy with the "I was scared" bull crap is a disgusting human being. RIP Levi. Rot in prison Karl.
All he had to do was grab a jack
Just shows how thick skinned karl is 2 be out in shed watch truck pin his child....and walk away taking wife to family funeral and come back home with the attitude of "wt the heck Levi still here??"

@@WobblesandBean thank you for clarification on this. I came to that conclusion but I was watching to see if anyone else thought it too.
“I’m talking about your wife sir”… BUT I WAS WEARING BORROWED UNDERWEAR
… Yeah, that sucks…. These detectives have me dying with their reactions
I cackled at this part
Carl: “I’m not gonna blow smoke up your butt”
Detective: “Carl.. my butts smokin man!”
It's sick how badly he manipulated his son. To get him to buy the insurance to sign the will over to him as sole heir. Levi trusted his Dad was helping him. He was planning his murder for awhile. And Cindy saved her own life turning him in. She was next with a 1.2 million insurance policy on her.
Yeah Cindy was 10000% next. He was going to wait until he needed money and she would have died mysteriously in some fire as well
So chilling.
So SICK!!
I agree with all that. It also has to be said that this was a real failure for law enforcement that he was ever able to get away with the murder of his wife years before that and was even able to have the chance to kill his son. I think that's really something that needs to be said.
Then the grandkid(s). The silent killer.
Huge props to Cindy - from the start, during the 911 call, she came across as a genuine kind person. She showed great bravery and strength by trusting her gut instinct and not only getting away from Karl but also choosing to put herself at risk in order to get the truth about Levi’s death. Although the first recording didn’t actually work it still ended up being very beneficial since the detectives were able to not only use the information she provided but I’m sure the fact they allowed him to believe they had also “heard” his original confession to Cindy gave them extra leverage. It’s amazing he managed to get away with the murder of his wife, hopefully her poor sister has gotten some peace knowing he is locked up.
Lol!!!
@@R4G4M3MN0N wtf are you laughing at? The woman was kind and gentle. That was her manner. She feared for own life by the time she did the first recording and yet, she did it again to get the truth. That is bravery right there. She could have just walked away.

I know I’m late. Just wanted to comment on how desperate he was to get back with Cindy. He went as far as to confess his crime in hopes of getting back with her. He only wanted to do that because he knew he has a 1.2 million insurance on her. He needed her as close as possible to be able to stage her death whenever he deemed fit. He obviously wouldn’t be able to do that with her gone from the house.This man is pure evil.

Thank God Cindy paid attention to her intuition and the red flags it brought up. He had the biggest policy out on her, and I’ve no doubt she was on his list of victims, as well as his granddaughters. It was only a matter of time. To say he’s narcissistic is an understatement. He is a murderous sociopath. Even one of his brothers recognized this fact. The detectives are amazing! I can’t imagine having to put in the amount of time they did with this horrid man. I give them kudos galore. Rest In Peace Christine and Levi, and all the innocent animals this man killed for money. He is despicable.
Her AND his granddaughters. I 100% believe he had something planned for them when the timing and opportunity presented itself. Maybe another fire, carbon monoxide or 'freak' car accident that would kill them all at once. Cindy saved a lot of people being so brave. He would never stop as long as he could get insurance on someone.
Did u forget that Levi SA'd his daughter?
@@heftymagic4814 when was he charged with SA?
@@heftymagic4814 they said that was never verified. It might have been a tactic to get Karl to confess.
Hopefully, he'll be burning in hell for eternity. Then he'll understand what it feels like, only he'll have no relief, which he deserves!
I remember a conversation I had with a fire marshal once. He said “one fire in a lifetime is a tragic accident. Two fires is a case of insurance fraud.” He said he’d believe you were struck twice by lightning before he’d believe you had two accidental house fires. …the fact that Karl escaped scrutiny with all of this history is kind of crazy.
Bush fires, some people homes destroyed multiple times. Fire Marshal doesn't know shit.
the fact he cashed in multiple insurances before people got suspicious of him shows how dangerous he is. all that talking, he had a ready answer for everything
Lol your fire Marshall doesn't live in a house of people... I had tenants that burnt their food so often, the house was constantly smoking.
*They'd go have a shower while fish is cooking on the stove, and you'd see the puddles from the bathroom to the stove where the element was on from person going back and forth. This is a supposed cook at a restaurant, too!*

Karl used to work for my husband. He said he always felt bad for Karl’s bad luck. He said Karl was a good “actor” and had such a sob story. He is an extremely dangerous man!

@@bongjovi4928 hey do you what narwhal bacon is it time?
Wondering what kind of work he did after his military days?
I once thought about becoming a police detective but decided I couldn’t handle all the darkness. Watching this channel confirms that for me.
I've been burnt severely before, and am now a paramedic. From personal experience I can tell you, being burnt does not feel like getting hit with any amount of baseball bats, not 1, not 5. Not to mention burns of the level he describes leave severe disfigurement in the worst of cases, and significant scarring in the best of cases. Then we get into the medical side of things and know that an intense blast of heat to the face like described will leave airway burns so bad that his airway would have begun swelling and closing before an ambulance ever got there, he'd barely be able to breathe, if at all and a rescue cricothyrotomy would have to be performed, which will then require a tracheotomy or at minimum a stoma, and those were not temporary back when that fire happened. Had he been burned ANYWHERE near as badly as he claimed, he would have still been in the hospital a week and a half later when he reports he moved. I spent three months in the hospital and that was for my legs.
It's pretty much a trait of narcissists that they think they can just spew out lies without any real thought or effort, and expect people to be stupid enough to believe them.
Airway swelling up from the intense heat sounds like a awful time.
Yet he was on a plane with his kids less than a week after the fire.
@@CMALL95 I imagine its a terrible terrible way to go. Probably one of the worst. In fact, smoke inhalation and breathing in hot fumes is so torturous, that during the 9/11 attacks, many people decided that jumping 80+ stories, to their certain death, was far far better than being in those buildings. Yikes. Let that sink in for a moment
Excellent comment, @MusicalMedic
Best wishes to you, friend.
The detective trying to “console” him deserves an Emmy
I bet he needed a long shower after that
I actually found it really overacted, it would have made me extremely uncomfortable :D. At some point it even looks like it is staged to be funny like at 02:00:09 when he is obviously trying real hard to mirror the suspect. I feel like he just had a seminar about interrogation techniques and was trying real hard to put all of them into practice simultaneously ;).
I wonder how his daughter would feel hearing the ‘I would end her suffering’ line? It was a little unnecessary
@@vihta545 well it was actually brilliant because narcissist believe the world revolves around them so these overacted attempts to appeal with his self image in the end made him admit. A narcissist wouldnt think “why is he touching me im uncomfortable” they would instead go “i have him touching me so obviously he is concerned with me” as they want all attention on them.
These were some good fucking detectives based solely on this footage. They carefully put together their case, let him talk n talk n talk, then sealed his fate. Masterfully done.
the worst part in my opinion is that he continuously calls his family “the wife” “the son” …. they’re only objects for his benefit in his eyes
Psychopaths don't care about anyone or anything sadly...I wonder what turns someone into that.
@@masonjones1812 Mostly genetic factors, their brains are just wired differently
Yea narcissists are like that. Every one I've known my own father included refers to their family this way.
Bolstering
@@Wqht12 sry this is kinda long... it's always a combination of the genetic factor and how the person is raised. If they develop a certain perception of the world around them that is false it becomes second nature to act in this manner.
Essentially you could have someone born who never develops the frontal lobe responsible for feelings psychopaths don't feel like compassion, empathy, sympathy, understanding in a deep sense but because they were raised in a home where those qualities and traits were valued they would still be capable of living a normal non psychopathic life.
It is when and unfortunately it's more common than not but it's when someone like that is born into into a family where those traits and qualities aren't valued or worse no real guidance is given then the person's inability to develop there frontal lobe takes over and they observe what we perceive as something not unlike naturalistic or animalistic behavior obviously called psychopathy by the main fields of study around it.
Even worse is when they learn there is no perceived consequence for their behavior. And they learn from an environment of the same lack of empathy and compassion and sympathy. Then the psychopathy goes as far as their brain will take it.

That fact doesn't escape my mind. It's because of it why I can even listen to these sycopaths (misspelling is intentional lol) rambling on and on. That's what's so morbidly mesmerizing about these cases. Also needs to mentioned, HOW did he (or anyone for that matter) evade the checks and balances for so long?

Exactly! Wish I had a loving step-mother. She’s not. She’d always beat me & my 2 older siblings w/ kitchen utensils and pinch us w/ her toes. I was only 6 yrs old. My so-called “father” re-married after my beautiful and kind Mommy died of pulmonary hypertension allergic reaction at Balboa Naval Hospital. A VERY BAD HOSPITAL! They knew she was allergic! They’d given it to her anyway! She died! I remembered this “father” carrying me onto her hospital bed to tell me to say goodbye. I didn’t understand why she wasn’t smiling and not opening up her eyes. He told me to say goodbye. I gave her a kiss. My older sis and older bro were crying hard. I didn’t understand…😢 I’d see her visit often until I was 14! Her beautiful perfume smell and see her at our old house! I’d be so excited saying Mommy’s here! I haven’t seen her since. I’m so sad. Still crying out to her. She doesn’t even have a gravestone. This so-called former “father” doesn’t even care to visit her. I’m the only visiting her grave. I’m always able to see spirits of my papa and grandma and uncle, friends and help others that want to give messages to their loved ones to say goodbye. It’s all up to God. I used to be scared as a kid of seeing ghosts. I’ve grown accustomed to it all if they’re bad I’ll sense it. Anyhow, this evil man is going to suffer life in prison and go to hell for all eternity! May those he’s killed Rest in Paradise. 😔🤍
It's always amazing to me how psychopaths get distracted and forget to pretend to be emotionally distraught, and then they pick it up again and don't think anyone noticed.

Imagine calling your dead son "Son."
The way murderers distance themselves by not using someone's name is always so disrespectful and disgusting and just such a huge give away.
@@Flutterbyebutterfly Is that actually funny to you? What's funny about it? I have yet to know a person that isn't exactly that with their heart. It's amazing what people do to try to hide who and what they are, isn't it? The greater the saying the more apparent and obvious it is outwardly. But nobody would want to know what's going on inwardly in anyone's heart.
The reason for the consistent patterns is not because of what the world says but because of the perfect judgment from the Creator above on evil. Evil is not just literal murder and robbery. No one is good. Not even a single soul that's not in a literal prison. But man is in a very real spiritual. A slave to his own flesh and sin. Like a robot 🤖 almost.
How perfect is the consistency and blindness and patterns of those that
literally murder others? They may put on a little different image on the outside and a little bit different of an act, but not even one human being that ever lived is any different within their heart. Everyone that does any evil with their heart will go blind right in that moment and will not be able to see the intentions and thoughts of the evil they did. There will be a burden and a weight and guilt that comes as a judgment from above for the wickedness in the heart that was done. This will spiritually feel like a pressure that someone cannot bear. The next thing someone will do is look to condemn and point the finger and dump their literal sins that they just did in that moment and blame someone else for the exact same thing they just did themselves.
Test every fiber of it and see if it isn't true with self and with anyone you know. A
Literally anyone. I know thats who and what I am and that it's been proven true for me.
Now the truth can be seen by those that see it. And there's patterns in these things that repeat for a reason. One of those patterns is that nobody in their heart can acnowledge or handle what they did or bear it. Cain cannot bear it and that's a punishment for cain. Cain is all man. Adam is all man. Eve is all mankind.
When they break down and start somewhat acknowledging it with the mouth, notice that even through they're acknowledging they are still telling lies. The guy doing the video says it plainly all the time. When there's proof of any kind of lie through an acknowledgement, that means that that person's heart did not actually acknowledged anything they did but found a way to justify and bypass it in their heart.
No one can believe the image that the beast(all man) sells. It's there to deceive. That's it. It's there to put on an act which is deceiving neighbors with intent. Another pattern is that every single murderer knows the basic morals of literal murder. Every single one of them that ever killed someone knows they did evil. Because the Creator tells them what they did in spirit right to their face, and man cannot acknowledge it. Cannot. It's just an act and a deception to put on the act of multiple personality disorder to try to save its soul. Hollywood has revealed that even through their movie's in plain sight that the killer knows exactly what they're doing at all times. The devil cannot hide it sends but it pours out its own folly like guts coming out of someone's stomach that's been hanged on a tree for a while. They put on the act and believe their own lies and cannot come out. Cannot. Well unless they would truly repent. Everyone will try to play innocent, stupid and play the victim. All for the purpose to save its soul. The only thing that it cares about is its own self and no one else. And man's works prove it every single day.
"He who is saving his soul, SHALL be destroying it. But he who destroys his soul, SHALL be finding life."
Everyone is doing one of those two things. There is no lukewarm middle, there is no 3rd thing. Those are the two things. Good or evil. And Adam and Eve can see no distinguishing difference between good and evil on that tree. Zero discernment. Every actual good work from the heart looks like evil to man. I've seen the proof over and over and over again that good works cannot be believed by anyone that they even exist. Must sound pretty stupid right now to those who do not see anything at all. Good works are possible and they're rarer than the most rare gems and diamonds. But it's impossible with man. Man can't do it of himself. He must deny his whole soul and life as the true Messiah did to do his Creators will.
1 Corinthians 1:18-21
For the message of the stake is foolishness *to those who are perishing* but to us who are being saved it is the power of Elohim. [19] For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." [20] Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not Elohim made foolish the wisdom of this world? [21] For since, in the wisdom of Elohim, the world through wisdom did not know Elohim, it pleased Elohim through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
Now truly the exact same thing his one man's treasure in another man's garbage dump. The thing that should be good for man is the most evil thing and horrible to him.
Because a man is whatever he believes in his heart, so it becomes and will become.
"As you have *believed*, so let it be done to you.
They do honor Him with the mouth, but their heart is far from Him. So it is. So it must be to the very end. And indeed will be, and get much much worse. The image of the beast is coming out so that it can be exposed and destroyed. The image of the whole world is slipping and coming off. And anybody that's alive will see who and what man really is when restraint is let loose that's been there as a gift to many by the Creator all along.
It could be anyone that ends up going severely blind in one moment and ends up murdering someone. Not a single person can believe what they have done after it's done. Because that judgment doesn't, unless the murderer is actually done. No one can comprehend how horrible and terrifying the Judgment of literal murderer is...... Until it's done. That's the knowledge of the devil. Foolishness. Man thought he could handle, but not even one soul has ever been able to handle it. It will torment them severally the rest of their days. Beyond comprehension. It really is astonishing and sad. The Creator must be feared. Fearing Him leads to running away from sin. Because the heart finally starts believing in His mighty judgments for it.
What a crazy world it is? Almost unbelievable. That contrast will be appreciated by all someday. Right now it's just an incredibly dense thick fog, and most everyone cannot see. And those that do see now, were also completely blind. Not even one righteous, nope not even one.
@@lightexposesdarkness154 Preaching to the converted here buddy 🙏🏼 It’s funny to me yes because I’ve witnessed psychopaths act like this in front of my eyes. Whether it’s in act or not it’s outstanding to see it play out right in front of you. You need to chill out mate.

You’re literally projecting something going on with you onto me. Clear as day! I really hope you don’t fry unbelievers heads like you’re above comment. God bless you for you’re efforts but wow looks like you’ve got some healing to do or practise on how to share Gods word with the blind 🙏🏼 Much Love ❤️
OH MY GOD! Just casually watching this and as soon you describe the house fire in Murphys it all came back to me! My dad was called to jury duty for this guy in Calaveras County when he came back to CA to stand trial. After my dad told me about the case we both agreed he should have got the death penalty.
God bless your dad, and you. Stay safe and learn about flying monkeys, this pretender will still have fans who would do his evil bidding thinking they are doing the right thing 🙏🙏🙏
wow
bro that’s crazy!
The way he talks, it 100% screams narcissist. Especially the big dramatic stories that center around himself, his pain, his "heroism," his misfortunes, and all of them exaggerated to sound extra dramatic. I noticed the detectives seemed to catch onto this and that's why they started acting like a captive audience and really leaning into his stories, exaggerating their own reactions to feed his ego and encourage him to keep going. It's fascinating to watch these interactions!
I know! This is one of my fave interrogations right now it’s pretty crazy how obviously narcissistically psychopathic he is with the way he talks in the interrogation room and for how long 8-9HOURS jeez! But I wonder what he acts like outside of that walking around in the world looking for his next big paycheck…..now that’s scary because he was easily able to get into relationships pretty fast afterward. This case is a particularly gut-wrenching and sad one overall….
@@1rage17 I totally agree! It is scary to think about how easily they can get in relationships and fit into society seeming like an average person on the surface. People like him seem very charming on the surface but are really master manipulators. It's fascinating seeing the detectives not falling for his lies one bit and chipping away at them with evidence and logic. They used his ego to keep him talking and picked apart his stories until he knew he'd been backed in a corner he couldn't weasel his way out of. I was really impressed with how they turned the table on him like that!
True, But I mean the fact that he refers to himself as god on multiple occasions is a much clearer indicator. lol
@@arendaria my ex spouse was a textbook narcissist. I admitted to my therapist that I felt really stupid for not realizing, but she said that’s the problem- you don’t realize someone’s a narcissist until it’s too late. They act charming, sensitive, and do and say everything you want to hear until you’re trapped. Only after you’ve invested years into the relationship do the cracks start to show. Meanwhile, they gaslight you and convince you that you are crazy and the one with the problem.
he talked for 8 hours haha
The quality of these videos is seriously amazing. To think I just watched all of a 2 hour interrogation and was so hooked I listened to an hour of it while driving to work. I can't imagine what it must be like to trim down 9 hours of interrogation footage to only the parts pertinent for the story and then add the narration and visual edits. You guys are awesome.
I did the same thing!!
Agreed
They truly are
One of the best channels and why I got into watching interrogations. Dreading is a great channel also. You should watch the Nancy Brophy case on dreading. Crazy!
Then why do they all say the same crap in the same old tired way? It's just a cash-cow and they're milking other people's tragedies for their own gain. The people making these videos are probably just as psychopathic as the people featured in them.
That’s disgusting that he killed his son and NEVER gave anything to his granddaughters. Despicable.
If the money was left to me, why give it to grandchildren?
And then pulls out a huge life insurance policy of them after he kills their daddy
Would it have been better if he murdered his son, and then gave the money to the granddaughters? So, murder is okay, just so long as you pay the victims family.
@@Matthias_Fischer and you don't understand irony.
its disgusting he killed his son for money. periodt.
The fact the window was boarded up is highly suspicious, if the fire was investigated properly in the first place, lives could have been saved, the fact his son's wife didn't know about Levi's life insurance and never saw a penny of it is the biggest red flag IMO.
It baffles me that this guy wasn't looked into a lot sooner! How did no law enforcement find it suspicious how Karl kept losing family and possessions under "tragic circumstances" that ultimately benefitted him financially? Just the way he speaks about his late wife Chris and Levi is a major red flag!
Same thoughts. I'm guessing it has to do with the lack of exchange of information back in the day. I don't think anything similar would fly today - atleast, I hope it doesn't.
Exactly, and moreover under the same tragic circumstances every time. I'm glad that the detectives that handled this case at least did their due diligence correctly and recognized the pattern. They did a great job with the interrogation as well, I don't think anybody would have gotten a full confession out of him.
@@CodeeXD What evidence do you have to support that claim? It seems a bit uncharacteristic for a nation in which technology is such an integral part and heavily accentuates national security to not have this information to be more widespread or more easily accessible to law enforcement agencies.
@@CodeeXD that one might be different because warrants are only good for specific areas I think. I have a friend who can drive anywhere in the city but this one town next to it she doesn't go to because she has a warrant for an unpaid ticket. Does seem that warrants don't pass areas but at the same time, doesn't seem he had a warrant to begin with
Because it's a tragic incident, and people with cognitive disorders like ASPD can be pretty good at making emotions seem genuine. Seeing as he had already done this before, his confidence that he would get away was higher. And he felt more comfortable with talking as a result. That combined with experienced interrogators lead him to make a series of errors when constructing his story. To know for sure we'd have to look at the previous cases.
you should do an "innocent" complation. id love to see the differences in a guilty and non guilty interogation. they didnt show videos like these in college.
I dont think it would make a difference. It all boils down to how far you can go before folding.
They’ve done a couple - I can’t remember what it’s called but they’ve got two innocent guys being interrogated who were innocent. One was calm, one was very much NOT calm 😅
@@neonfrootit would make a difference, I would love to see any potential cases where people legitimately did end up accidentally incriminating themselves bc of pressure when they were actually innocent, or cases where people acted super suspicious but had no involvement in something
@nokaccino Yes! I would like to see that too!
There was a recent one where the killer blamed a distant acquaintance, milton. He was visibly upset and angry at the accusation as stated an innocent person would be. The detectives took it as him being uncooperative and he went to jail. They had no evidence other than he was wearing clothes the killer said he was wearing. He probably would have stayed in jail and potentially might have been convicted had the detectives not got lucky with the killer finally confessing. The detectives did a very bad job in that one because they should have picked up on red flags like when the key witness/killer kept changing the story. One iteration she said she was scared to tell the truth because the guy who did it was in a gang and she was afraid for her life. The detectives still let her go home that night... Assuming she was telling the truth why would you let her go and potentially get murdered blowing up all the progress and leads they had?... Surpirse surprise the cops couldn't find her the next day...
The biggest thing is always lawyer up. As soon as you find yourself in an interrogation room and feel you are a suspect ask for a lawyer no matter what. don't try and talk your way out of it even if you are innocent. If your spouse was murdered you know you're a suspect given the statistics. Without a lawyer they could probably get anyone to confess to just about anything. like in this video after 9 hours of just being grilled you'd probably crack just to get out of the situation, and that's the point of their strategy.
I swear at the end when the narrator said “but on the day his trial was set to begin, a strange thing happened”. I swear I was I legit wishing he was going to say “his jail cell was set on fire, coincidentally Cindy had just altered the insurance claim for accidental jail deaths….. “ would have been quite poetic lol
😂😂😂 Go Cindy
That would be epic
Derp
I use to hate this channel, thinking the narrator talked to much but this has become my FAVORITE true crime channel and I thank you for your work! Keep going bud!
no it sucks, keep scrolling youtube shorts bud.
Wow, that was one of the most intense interrogations ever. The detectives were ruthless and so was the suspect. Absolutely fascinating.
Honestly it was textbook. The detectives used every part of the Reid technique, good cop bad cop, the whole thing and for 9 hours straight. It was like watching a master class. I confessed to killing Levi about ten times.
Can you imagine having to stroke that guys ego for that long? I hope these detectives got a good vacation after this!
I can never understand how a person could hurt their own child, yet alone kill them. I will hold my son a bit closer tonight after hearing this story.
Cause they’re not people? Dude is a monster
Amen to that !!!
Have you not seen the parents taking their kids to watch Drag queens strip... there are some SEVERELY sick people in this world.
@@MeatSlap30 agreed
Hope you don’t hold him too hard geez kinda grim choice of words 🤨
The most shocking part is that no one in authority questioned how one man had so many big 'accidents' happen around him.
Colorism.
He brought up his wife's death in the fire the cops are wait a minute this seems suspicious too lol
Sooooo many fires
He moved a lot. Seems like once people started to get wise to who and what he was, he would leave again.
@@lettiegrant9447 thanks for the racism. Appreciate it.
this channel is so addictive.
This man is PURE EVIL. My sibling recently passed away in an accident, in their early 20s. All members in my family have life insurance. Having to do the paper work to get the funds and handle the estate is an awful, awful feeling. My parents can't help but cry whenever they have to handle such things because we would much rather have our loved one here than any amount of money. Disgusting.
So sorry for your loss, sending lots of love and healing to your family🙏❤️
Im so sorry to hear that, nobody should have to go through that. Wishing you and your family all the support and healing you need.
So sorry for you. I lost my older brother at when he was 22 and I was 19. It will be 13 years ago now October 29th. Still miss him every day. 😢
That so awful... I'm so sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to bury their child. It's unnatural.
I lost my Uncle when he was very young (brain cancer, diagnosed at 18 dead just after his 22nd birthday) My grandparents had life insurance for him and each of their 4 children. When he had passed and all of the paperwork had finally gone through they used what they had to, to pay hospital bills and the rest they gave to the cancer ward he had stayed in because they couldn't stand seeing it there in their bank account. They hated the idea that they got money out of his pain and suffering and subsequent death, so they decided to put it to good use and hopefully help some other child survive their battle with cancer.
Amen! 💙✝️💙
I’m shocked any insurance company would even deal with this dude in any way shape or form
Money talks
*breathes in deeply*
Mr Krabs: I like money.
They probably paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get him to stop talking about himself lol 😂
“I was like GOD down there at State Farm”
Jews are vile
The fact this man “withstood” 9 hours of interrogation and damning evidence without fully coming clean shows how much of p.o.s he really is. Then to learn he had more policies on his 2nd wife and his grandchildren is vile. Completely self serving with no remorse. No doubt he was planning to do it again and again. If someone had done their job after the first fire, or even the second fire, and especially the third fire, then Levi would still be here for his kids.
I’ve just got to fires, but reading you’re comment saying first second and especially third has me dying bro 😂
@@archelaus1126 😂 dude literally made a career out of burning shit down
Levi molested his kids...
Did you miss that part? So not exactly a loss that that POS is dead, or his pscho father that murdered him is behind bars.
He loves lying.
Levi would’ve still been here molesting his kids*
scariest thing about this is he would've gotten away with it if he didn't confess to his wife
How these detectives didn't burst out in laughter when he started talking about nukes is amazing..
Yeah. I would've laughed in the dude's face when he made a big fuss about the truck fire posing a threat to the nukes - as if nukes get detonated like that. And he was supposed to be designing the launch codes? 🤣
For sure. What a wanker… nothing of that was true.
I know i did😂😂😂😂
He thought he could outrun a nuke "on fire?" Usually psychopaths are believed to have a rather high amount of intelligence, but this guy takes stupidity to the next level.
@@GreyWulf-g8k it’s true, I was the tire
It's funny how if you make a sociopath or a narcissist feel comfortable enough, you just have to sit back and do nothing while they keep talking themselves into a deeper and deeper hole. Especially if you want evidence that they're lying about something, but even for no reason they'll do this. It's like they just can't resist telling grandiose stories about themselves and lying in general.
You make it sound so much simpler than it actually was. If it was that easy, the interrogation wouldn't have lasted that long.
Nailed it. It’s truly horrifying when they think you’re not paying attention. They will shout if they have the right audience
Very very true.
There's even a channel here on UA-cam where a true blue narcissist goes on and on. The thing about having Narcissistic Personality Disorder, NPD, is they don't get help. They lie all the time for attention and to try to control how others see them.
The channels here are Amberlynn Reid and FoodieBeauty (this one also has BPD and is more histrionic than Amberlynn Reid)
These channels are hilarious self-reports and much easier to watch through reaction channels.
People without these disorders are the same way. People crave attention and enjoy speaking about themselves. It takes a far more conscious effort to not speak, especially when pushed by detectives like this
As a sociopath this is wrong :/ and kinda rude lmao but I see where you’re coming from and agree to a certain extent on the types of people who would do that. I guess.
"I bought them a Thanksgiving turkey." Wow. Smh
I've seen this story before, absolutely disgusting that a father could be so vile. I'm glad Cindy helped get justice for Levy. Thank you for your in depth coverage of this story. I love your videos.
It really is a terrible thing he did plus it's truly heartbreaking
@@SuGirlabk7993 You're right, absolutely heartbreaking. And to then find out he also had life insurance on his own grandkids, absolutely disgusting. He deserves to rot in jail.
I totally agree with u! It is absolutely horrible what he did , I can never understand how a parent can do that to their own children. My heart definitely goes out to the family!
The aunt Collette helped too.
Poor lady. She knew her evil brother in law killed Christina.
Do you believe in God? Than you most know evil is Just next door its no excuse. And it wound be the last of time. Beautifull world but with fuckt up People
My mother knew this mans wife who died in the fire. My mother always felt so sorry for him, considering... the amount of untimely losses he had. Only for her to years later see him on the true crime networks...
Have you told your mother about it?
Unclean/demonic spirits can disguise themselves [within the host body] very well most times-in an effort to avoid detection, and many times it isn’t until their true nature begins to manifest [which is seen through the actions of the host them] that a person is able to identify the spirit that is truly running a person-we can know them by their fruits! This is way Jesus said: “You MUST be born again,” and “born by The HOLY Spirit;” because every single human on earth is at war [internally] battling these incredibly wicked spiritual forces-the evil principalities that exist in the unseen realm, and who have control over the world as we know it!
@@ciprianion4142is this a real question read what he said for years see him on the show for it 😑
Covert narcissists are clever at looking like the humble victim "shucks ...I try so hard BUT I have so much bad luck"
Karls Evil was revealed, he burned his 1st wife alive, then stepped inside the vehicle to crush his own son underneath it - whilst putting country music (the son hated country) blaring on the radio whilst he bled to death... how cruel & callous can you get 🎯
He failed to get help for his dying son, spent 4 hours with his wife at funeral, then performed his showtime "discovery" of the son he had killed. Please watch the whole video, there's more, I escaped a husband like this - there are little tells even though its hard to prove. God will reveal, God will avenge!
This is true I’m his mother
Detective: yea man that’s rough
Karl: I know my stuff was gone
Detective: I meant your dead wife
"Oh yeah, that happened too"
Crazy

Karl:' im not trying to blow smoke up your guys bawtts man'
Detective: Karl. My bawtts smoking man' 💨🌬️
Karl: well... 🥴🥲🤣
*Ooof level* Set to 11
I love this channel. Many of these cases I’ve seen on true crime podcasts here on UA-cam but they don’t have all the info and video you do. It’s amazing to see the in depth interrogations that go with the cases! It gives such a comprehensive view of how whatever happened went down. Sometimes you see these other UA-cam videos and you wonder how could anyone do that and this channel fills in those blanks!
That was a masterclass in interrogation. The detectives let him talk and talk since they knew he is a narcissist who would just lie and lie, then turned up the heat and threw all his lies back in his face, not letting him talk which drove him to back spasms, lol. I also appreciate the format of this channel and the well-researched commentary and qualifying statements when they are speculating. No fat in these episodes!
He didnt provide any new information, no new evidence, no weapon, no means, no motive they didnt know about, no nothing. All they got out of this nine hours long quest for confession was an extra reason to arrest him on the spot, and I bet they already had enough for that evidence-wise. At the end dude pleaded guilty on second degree (not premeditated killing), which means that he stick to his version ("left his son die due to accident"). All the insurance fraud charges have been dropped, intentional murder charges have been dropped. His confession and that nine hour long mental rape was absolutely for nothing.
I would have confessed to anything to get that guy to quit touching my shoulder and leg 😆
Letting a narcissist talk without applying pressure is not effective. After all they whole MO is to give props to themselves. The detectives did a good job of curbing Karl's tangents.
And I love the way they slowly move closer and closer to him to make him feel uncomfortable too.
what you guys do not understand is that there are great detectives out there who can make you confess to things you never did. I have an uncle who was one and he manipulates most people in his life that's why lots of people hates him.
I’ve probably watched over 40 hours of interrogations by now😭thank you for keeping me entertained at work

The most traumatic moment of this guy's life is having to wear used underwear, literally no emotions in this one at all. It's amazing he was able to convince not one but 2 wives that he ever loved them, or their kids.
The wives/girlfriends in a lot of these more interesting cases are idiots. Because it is the psychos with idiots around him that get away with it long enough to make an interesting story.
Delusional women go for men like this. Unresolved childhood issues and lack of self awareness is usually a factor.
@@ivysweet4467 I am a psychiatrist, and nothing in your comment makes sense, even if we disregard your misunderstanding of the term "delusional". Psychopaths are extremely charming and convincing. People who meet them find them to be the nicest and most likeable people, healthy men and women alike, not just "delusional women". Their complete disregard for the feelings of others, how people perceive them and the consequences of their actions makes them extremely good at lying and manipulation. In this case, you can see he was able to deceive not just his wife, but also his kids, fire investigators, law enforcement, and insurance companies despite multiple suspicious incidents.
This woman was extremely brave, clever and resourceful and without her decisive action, he would likely have gone on to kill others. It's easy to judge after everything has been revealed, but the fact is that the vast majority of people would not be able to tell a psychopath from an upstanding healthy person.
@@monkiram two things can be true at the same time..he was charming but she was quite gullible too..
@@gigiarmany Well that's the whole point of my comment. It's not just gullible people that get won over by psychopaths, it's also intelligent, confident, healthy people as well. They're just that good at faking being good people. Even for those of us who work with and study psychopaths for a living, it takes many years of working with a patient to be able to diagnose antisocial personality disorder (the DSM-5 diagnosis for psychopathy)
The fact he actually thought the cops would believe his crazy nuke story is just delusional.
Listening to this guy is exactly like listening to my old boss. Telling absolutely unbelievable stories with complete conviction. And he's the big hero in every single one of them.

I found my big sister deceased in her house, after not managing to gain access because she wouldn’t answer the door. Called the police to do a welfare check & there she was. Passed away in her living room. I then had to go tell our mum. She literally collapsed to the side as she sat on the stair. I seen her just loose all awareness & strength. She went into complete shock right in front on my eyes. We weren’t able to stop the floods of tears for at least 2 weeks. None stop brain numbing crying, sleeping on the sofa together & just trying to survive in this living nightmare. After her funeral we went into a different type of grief. It’s amazing how our bodies adjust. But straight away after finding you’re child dead, this man’s a complete fool for thinking anyone would believe those disgusting lies!

My parents had life insurance on us kids. But my dad lost his brother to cancer at the age of 5 and grandma also had a still birth. We didn’t have a lot money in the 80’s and 90’s, so my parents wanted to make sure if anything happened, the could afford to bury us. The life insurance was only enough to cover a basic funeral. They cashed it out when we became adults and got our own, then gave us the money they got for it. Which was only a grand. Went towards a down payment on a car. And they didn’t have to do any of that but they did. My parents are awesome.

Me and my dad received inheritance from my gramma too but we share everything, I always feel very fortunate to have genuinely good, selfless people as parents cause I know most don’t have that. My parents were separated since I was 11 but they never fought over me like tried to get custody or whatever..we were always a unit & i always had the choice to go move in with either parent or whenever I wanted. Even they moved apart we’re all always visiting each other’s places anyways. Even my mom being a gambler and my dad an alcoholic they were never bad parents to me never abused me or did anything out of spite to me or each other. I guess I just became one of the somewhat lucky ones.
I thought about doing that, my daughter hd cancer as a toddler and I thought I would not be able to work if anything happened to them so insurance would cover living expenses. It seemed so grisly to insure them so I didnt. My daughter is 19 now and cancer free. F$&k Cancer!
I think that’s how it usually is.
My parents did the same. Lots of parents do. Having whole life, which is for a specific time period, usually until the kid turns 18, and has an annuity which grows to a certain amount in the event that the life insurance isn’t needed, isn’t unusual. It’s almost seen like a savings plan.
If he wasn't stopped those grandchildren would've been next.
Thank you! Thank you! For the subtitles. The effort it takes to just do that is not lost on me or other deaf/hard of hearing people who love your channel.
@Kandy Kane…I agree!
@@CissyBrazil Me too!
much love for the subtitles from me!
Cindy was next. He was trying to get insurance on her all along.
I’M not personally deaf, but my brother is but loves UA-cam and is constantly watching something. It upsets me that, while UA-cam does have integrated cc, it isn’t always user created and instead it’s the platform guessing what they’re saying. Creators who fix up the cc or, even better, edit it in, are godsent. I appreciate wholly that my brother (as well as others) are able to watch their videos with a complete understanding. Thank you.
Fair play to Cindey Karlsen for trying to catch him out, and reporting her suspicious to the police....no doubt he'd still be at!
Love this channel! Keep up the good work guys! 💜🇮🇪
I don't think I have ever seen detectives put this much pressure on somebody. 8 hours of pressing this guy takes some serious patience and self control
all in a day's work.
Best one I've ever seen. Hands down.
100% Blake
If only they could have darkened the room & turned the desk light on his face. If Karl with his big brain nuke truck driving was still resisting then Mr Rubberhose needs to have a chat.
Real self control not to beat the crap out of this lying POS🤬
When a stepmom does the most Mom thing ever respect to Cindy ❤
Yup, wearing a wire, classic mom.
@@Thisisnotmyrealname8 Yea, wiseacre, wearing a wire to catch your sons murderer IS classic mom.
Clown.
@@Thisisnotmyrealname8 he means choosing the child over the guilty spouse smh
Watch Karl take out a life insurance policy on his cell mate
🤣
shit 😭😭
🤣👍🏻
😭😭😭😭😭 I'm dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
These detectives were amazing, and uncovered so much more than Karl ever expected. Levi mustve been screaming at first, otherwise Karl wouldn't have turned the volume up on country music just to be even more cruel to Levi.
His fake crying, my ex does all that crap too, and guess what, my son recently passed at my exs house, in April. We don't have a death certificate because the coroner can't find the cause of death. Prayers for my son, Jack would be appreciated, for divine justice
Did your ex have insurance on Jack?
@@AllTheCritters I asked, and he said NO
As a parent, I couldn’t even fathom what it would be like to lose my son. I don’t think I could go on without him existing. This is the darkest form of evil.
I have a 2 year old daughter.. the other day we were alone at home, she got on a little coffe table(she did that often) it can easily hold her so i wasnt worried i was watching her anyway, she knows how to get off of the bed and chairs and stuff.. but this time she decided to go head first and fell on her head.. i saw it happening like in slow motion i couldnt react fast enough.. was less than a fucking second too late.. anyway she began crying A LOT like not usual cries i was afraid shes gonna die...i checked her head if she can move her body and everything she wanted to puke and that really fcking sracred me because ... then it can be brain hamorage that and if she wants to sleep.. luckly she didnt puke, it was more because she cried a lot but when i tried all i could to help her i just prayed to god to take me insted if it comes to that and cried with her in my hands, nothing happend.. shes alright but it made me think how much i actually love her.. i would easily give ny life for hers not even a single tought... and this guy.. he killed his kid and idk.. i just dont understand how 😅
@@milosilic8639 i hope you've seen a doctor after this
Somebody took my cat & Id give everything I own to have my Baby back & I didnt carry her for 9mths or bottle feed & watch her develop. This man could kill his horses & wives he made vows with also. He looks human💜🙏💜
@@northpaul3276 yea, everything is okay they said
@Y Nerf Thank u! Not knowing is hell! AWP help ppl get up with closure. I need Lassie, she/he'd find my Baby. Well in the movies! Kids dont get Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Mr Ed, Flicka or Blk Beauty but violence but they got BABE!
He said, "I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that I killed /them/" when they were only talking about Levi. This stood out to me a lot.
Exactly
That's what we call a Freudian slip lol
Timestamp?
Same with 300k. It was 400k and he said he didn't know about the accidental death benefit but said 300k, which it was for
Nuclear scientists driving trucks are 4moves ahead of everyone in their own minds.
i can’t stop frowning at the 911 call. the pain in her voice, she wasn't even his mom yet she was more distraught and a better parent than this heinous man. i've read this case before but i never got the full story or heard the 911 call but this is already breaking my heart. levi looked to be such a nice man. he was the same age as me when he died. i can't believe a parent would do that to their own child but i know monsters do exist. cindy sounds like a lovely lady, she cared about her stepson so much that she wanted to find justice on for levi. i'm glad at least she made it out alive.
Agreed & well said 🤍
Not only that, but Cindy put her life on the line twice: If Karl had found out about the first recording or the wire, he would have just killed Cindy and she knew it.
@@themapoe For a man that "wasnt hers" too. That just shows me that he WAS hers. in a way. She loved that man like she was his real mother.
How do you defeat a monster without becoming one?
♡LOVE♡
Will Rogers
Stand on the shoulders of those giants who have gone before.
@@themapoe she really was a selfless woman who just wanted this man to pay for what he did. i can imagine doing something like this for my kids as well, just shows how much of a mother’s love she had. cindy is so brave i really have to admire her strength to be able to even fathom putting herself in that situation, TWICE
It's horrifying when he said he lost everything and then he lists items instead of talking about his spouse.... Chilling
this is shocking that 4 years go past and the police didn't think "Isn't it odd that the FATHER gets the money from his son dying, and not his grandkids?!"
They mostly did. Interrogations like this happen only when they are sure they have collected enough factual evidence. Stuff like prints, etc. Interrogation happens when 'ok we have enough evidence factually to show to the court, but lets try fishing out a confession or some details from the guy so an actual confession seals the deal easily without any margin for error.
So yeah these could take years. But here's the bright side - you may think you got away with it, but you never did. Its just till the day police rings you up to 'have a chat'.
I mean, to be fair, being paid for the death of your family members is a pretty odd concept to begin with, but I see your point.
@@MuFu23 I think it's mainly to settle debts in the deceased persons name. My "grandfather" on my step dads side of the family took my sisters insurance money the military gave out and bought his wife a car instead of using it to pay off her debts. We still have debt collectors calling on her behalf to collect and her college hasn't dropped the tuition she owed. This was 3 years ago. We have to keep sending/faxing her death certificate to the collectors just so they can stop thinking we're lying to them. I really hate my step dad's father tbh. My little sister before she passed to split it between us siblings and our mom, then pay her tuition off with the rest. He said we don't need it since we are getting the one her job gave us which was not a lot and went towards her funeral.
Not really. If one does not trust the mother with the money. Make sure it will get spent on their education and/or a house.
I have life insurance that my family won't get.. it's in my business name to pay off debts and legal fees and there is no residual payout after debts and expenses are paid.
Sad that the son never found out what the truth was. if he suspected he killed his mom. What must have he been thinking while dying under that truck. Now it happened to me too.. just horrible.
this is so sad to think about :(
Your more than likely correct, it's absolutely chilling to think about his last minute
He knows the truth wherever he is now
It says almost halfway through that there was a CPS report because of a fight or something over Levi accusing Karl of killing his mother. So he definitely suspected it if not 100% knew
Yeah the son was under investigation for molesting his own daughter
It is undeniably obvious he started all the fires and killed his son. He’s one of the most narcissistic, selfish human beings. Not once did he display genuine heartbreak for the death of his “ex wife” or his son. He deserves to rot in jail.
🎯 the only thing that pained him was having to wear second hand clothes after the fire. Wicked sick covert narcissist.
When you perceive contempt run, but quietly.
Absolutely agree! Thankfully, every narcissists weakness is they don't know when to shut up & it gets them caught
I’ve watched a good number of these interrogations. And I gotta say this guy is by far one of the most selfish, self centered human beings to have ever lived. He put himself first in every aspect of his life and never gave a damn about ANYONE but himself especially not his own children. Absolute waste of a human. I pray the children are doing well!
Yeah cuz why is he always there during fires ?
He’s comfortable telling the fire story because he intentionally made it realistic. He probably waited to save the kids deciding if any died he would get the money for it but he needed to sell the story so he didn’t make it easy. That’s what I think
my uncle got crushed by his truck a few years back and his son tried to get it off of him with everything he had but it was obviously too late :( I can’t wrap my head around how this guy is so heartless to leave his son like that for HOURS
I know!?!!! Same thing happened to my sister's husband and it was so traumatic for the entire family!
Is this a common death? How does one get crushed by their own truck? Sorry im genuinely asking, i dont work at a farm
@@Vyansya It's not that its a farm, it's general vehicle maintenance. It's a failure of equipment and, sometimes sadly, a failure to account for potential failure of equipment. When you work on your vehicle, you need to raise it in the air, off its suspension. It is naturally precarious, and safety measures demand you have backups for your backups- solid metal purpose built stands underneath specific points along the jack holding your car up in case the hydraulics or screws in your jack fail. Some people don't do this. Some people set them improperly without realizing. Some people forget measures to keep the car from rolling when working on an incline and it comes right off the stands despite proper equipment use. Sometimes it is pure tragedy and the everything fails in the worst way possible and the safety measures didn't work.
A mechanics work is inherently dangerous, and unfortunately the vehicle they are working on falling on top of them and injuring or killing the person is not an uncommon story. It's probably why it allowed the subject of the video to get away with it despite the numerous prior insurance claims on the books. It's easy to explain away because it just happens so often.
😢
@@Vyansya my brother in law woke up on Saturday morning (may have been hungover...) in a hurry to fix something on his truck in order to be able drive to work on Monday. He had worked on autos all his life and could fix anything but for some reason, he did not "scotch" his truck. Took the drive shaft out (why I mentioned maybe hungover) so the truck rolled on him. No one found him for hours and it would probably have been to late even if they had.
Can we appreciate how skilled these detectives are? It’s mesmerizing to watch their tactics to get out the truth
I love the last one, lol he was funny as hell, and made this stupid guy talk!
Why people talk when they don’t have to. This newer generation is better informed of their rights
@@technophant Yeah what a shame innit. Guilty murderers convicted
@@123asd4221 yeah, true. But also the *INNOCENT VICTIMS* who were sentenced for crimes they didn't do because they didn't know their rights and allowed detectives to manipulate and systematically torture them into a false confession. Use your damn head for once LOL Everyone should know of their rights.
The younger one was very slick in how he talked to get out confessions.
The detective saying “yeah it sucks“ after karl’s complaining about losing his material possessions instead of her wife had me laugh so hard
Yeah that was pretty ridiculous. The dude is a psychopath, but he's not even smart enough to remotely cover it up.
Me too. It was the tone in the dectective’s voice, like he could not believe what he was hearing.😂😂
the interviews that makes me most mad are those mfs that cant stop bragging or talking about themselves every 30 seconds
You mean his wife? I’m confused.
@@rdr.erasedthe interrogators play right into it too, its great
I was addicted to opiates for years. Pink elephants flying and seeing through people are different drugs entirely. Lol
This is the only channel that scratches my itch for interrogation analysis after JCS stopped creating videos. Great, thoughtful commentary that adds to the overall storyline about the crime & interrogation. Keep doing what you're doing!
Same!
I can scratch your itch, too. Hopefully it's not anywhere TOO weird 😜
