Picture Imperfection: The Walt Disney Family Massacre | Dark Chapters with Annie Elise - Розваги
We're back with an all new episode of Dark Chapters. Buckle up, it's a long one!
We LOVE the long ones!!!!!❤
My favorite series 😍🤍
LOVE THE DARK CHAPTERS AND SERIOUSLY!!!! I do however miss your cult series. I get that it was mostly for Halloween and i'm not trying to be rude, i just loved those. the psychology behind it is insane and if i were a smarter person i would do a dissertation on it and love every second. Also, the set is awesome, the opening is great, i love the changes that you're making with your show. It brings a dark beauty to some very dark stories (this is all my opinion, take it with a grain of salt).
Whoo hoo! 😂❤
That's funny,, that's what my wife said to me last nite! 😉#5150☆
On a side note:
Chad Daybell was found guilty of 3 counts of murder and has been sentenced to death!
And Robert Pickton died after being attacked in prison 🎉
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Yassssssss🎉🎉🎉🎉
Finally some REAL justice!
3??? Shouldn’t it be 4?
This man is just telling lies. Blaming his wife for his actions. What a creep
Lots and lots of lies ......he fooled everyone
Exactly... I'm definitely getting "Chris Watts" vibes here. Ugh. 🤦🏻
Beyond creep he is demented beyond words
Idk I think he’s telling the truth
@@nashae6292 bruh
He lied throughout the case. He killed his family because he couldn’t face his own financial ruin and embarrassment. He is the devil himself.
Another Alec Maurdaugh here
I think he couldn't stand looking at his hideous body and face in the mirror. Very shocked that anyone would marry him. Cringe
@@SoloTubou Yes, he's like Alec, I think both he and Alec "loved" their family in their strange way, but loved themselves even more. I think Alec is even worse, this guy did try to kill himself, Alec had every intention of keeping going.
Yes indeed, I did not research his family yet, only researched to find out who Meghan and her children where. Do you or anyone know if his family believe his story and of course li*s? I'm definitely curious about that💯!!!
@@SoloTubouthat case definitely crossed my mind as well. Those type of greedy and arrogant people can't handle embarrassment, so would rather get rid of the problem in their minds; like the issues and crime will go away. Smh, selfish and evil indeed 💯!!!
oh good grief .. abdominal injuries are extremely painful. No way she stabbed herself and calmly asked for Benadryl while patiently waiting to die. That one point alone (besides all the other preposterous sh**) is enough to convince me he acted alone and murdered his whole family.
you must be in the medical field.
His face is SO slappable when he said " I appreciate you asking me that sir!" You can just SEE that he thinks he is the smartest man in any room, and was entitled to speak on cardiac issues. Even though General Practitioners reffer you out when it comes to your heart. He was a physical therapist!! Not qualified! SLAP!!!
Yeah weird how he went from ham acting sadness to getting huffy about them questioning his medical knowledge. The ego on this moron
TOP OF THE LINE NARCISSIST
Why are so many men killing their families because they put themselves into financial debt?! This man is so gross.
Right? Like just declare bankruptcy, you walnut.
For real. I bet his wife would have tried to help. But no, let's murder people who loved him and probably could have forgiven/helped him.
Yt
It's their pride. Pride comes before the fall.
Copy cats. And stupidity. Look at this guy! He looks like the penguin guy on Batman. A fat physical therapist? Joke. This was shortly after the Watts murder. I think the death penalty should come into play here. He knew exactly what he was doing. Benadryl? Ridiculous mentality with this freako. 0 mentality.
What an evil man, killed the whole family and blamed his wife for it
Yes why aren't we hearing more people protecting her after she's been murdered by this freaking monster that took his whole family and 🐕😢
Agreed I don't believe the wife did anything, she was a victim too. That so called man was ashamed of being caught and took them all out before they could find out. IMO
same bs chris watts tried to pull
I pray that most people do not beleive him. When they first found him with their bodies in the house he was so messed up but confessed everything . Later once he came bout to his senses or what ever he put it all on Megan. I hate him! Something about they couldn’t use his first confession. Don’t understand why some killers blame the partner. I’d be tempted to take my husband out of he did this but no imma call 911 immediately and turn him in! I don’t beleive any of these monsters whe. The day the partner killed the chikdren so they killed the partner. Straight bs
I love you Annie but the music in the back while you’re talking is so overwhelming and overstimulating 😭😭😭 i love your channel so i’ll push through but just some feedback 🫶🫶
I agree! I’m trying my best to make it through this because I’m not sure I’ll be able to.
@@nicholejefferson6904 same 😭😭
Agreed
Agreed
I guess I could see it bothering people who get overestimated easily. I didn't even notice it until it was pointed out here.
The thing about this case that makes me angriest is that this jerk not only lacks the decency to be honest about what happened but that he also made up the most ridiculous story and pinned all his crimes on his late wife.
Then tried to act like he was a hero or something… like “oh she did it… but I love her, I’ll take the blame”
Researchers in the UK did a large study of family annihilators, and they divided them into four major types: the "self-righteous" killer. This type usually strikes when the family breaks down, and one partner leaves and/or initiates divorce. The killer can't handle the loss of the traditional family, and wants to punish the partner. The second type is the "disappointed" annihilator. This killer is angry that the family is not behaving the way they believe a family should, such as believing that the children aren't following the parents' religion, the partner isn't following traditional roles, etc. The "anomic" type: This killer has wrapped ideas of family up in economic success; the loss of a job, a business, and money means the loss of the family. Obviously, Tony Todt is this type, as well as John List, and there are a couple of French family annihilators I've heard of in this type. Last is the "paranoid" type, who believe some outside force or threat is about to destroy their family, so they'll "mercifully" take them out first. I think of that young woman who recently killed her partner and herself, and tried to kill both her daughters during the eclipse.
Sorry to write a novel: I just saw the research online and thought I'd share it.
Thanks internet stranger. I was wondering this exactly. Can you share where you found the study, I’d love to read it? I ask because sometimes it’s hard to find full text articles.
@@ananimouse915 Family Annihilators_ The Psychological Profiles of Murderous Fath.pdf
I don't know if this PDF will work for you, and it's a big academic review of the British AND American studies, so it's long and maybe dry, but I'll send it anyway. It's a horrific crime, but the psychology is still interesting to me.
Sorry; I can see now that the PDF doesn't work.
Ty I didn't know the 4 types
She did try to kill both of her daughters. She kill the 8mth old baby girl. Only survivor was the 9yr old girl. It's sad....that 9yr old little girl witnessed her mother killing her father and throwing her baby sister out of the car. Than herself thrown out by her own mother. The baby was pronounced dead on the road. Probably in such pain and confusion. That poor little 9yr old girl, will have to live with that trauma and those memories forever.😢 I pray for her! 🙏
Also, I read some of her post stating to make peace so your soul will go to heaven. Fortune her soul is burning in hell where she should be! While her husband and 8mth old baby girl are in Heaven....and baby girl is in the loving arms of our Lord!
This story is insane. I don’t understand how some men think killing their entire family is a better option than facing shame and consequences. How does that make sense????
The overwhelming and constant stress from all the problems causes a mental break. I'm surprised he was able to hide this stress from everyone for so long before snapping. If only he had sought out mental health therapy, this all could have been prevented.
When people are under unbearable stress, they throw logic and common sense out the window
They truly believe they will get by with it, be my guess.
That's why it's called antisocial or psychopathic. If it made sense according to the norms of society, then it wouldn't be an issue. Some women do the same when you think of the mothers that kill all their children and then claim they were also going to self exit, but somehow they couldn't go thru with that last part, or conveniently it didn't work. These types of parents are selfish cowards. Imagine your cowardice and self image overpowering any sense of rationality and thinking this is the only way out.
He thought he could get away with it.
I have no idea how he was such a well liked and respected individual, I find him intensely unlikeable
Jekyll and Hyde
I’m sure those around him only saw what he wanted them to..freak.
Yes! That has always puzzled me. He can't have changed that much, surely he was always an arrogant, self centred bore.
Agreed! I’m guessing that there were many people who disliked him who simply didn’t have anything to do with him anymore. That doesn’t really explain her family and friends, but perhaps they withheld their real opinion of him out of respect for her. 🤷🏻♀️
Soooo icky-Tony TOAD.
The wife was not involved in any of this. He said she inflicted her own knife stab but it was 8in deep in her stomach!! One would need a lot of strength to go that deep. For someone full of drugs in her system that would be a tough thing to do. He’s trying to drag her down so he wouldn’t look too bad for murdering them all.
This. I absolutely think this is what happened. He is trying to share blame.
@@rachellebustillo1340
The way she told the story, makes it seem as if it was a possibility 🫤. And it wasn’t.
@@marleylove510 I don't think Megan would do this either, but only Tony knows of what happened. With that, there IS that possibility of her involvement. We will never truly know.
I agree, and he's blaming the whole thing on her saying she was involved in Kali religion that the end of the world was coming and they both decided to kill the children 😞
She's not here to defend herself
The way he describes murdering his kids and wife so nonchalant is disturbing. His retelling of this was like he was describing a family trip that things didn’t go as planned and he was annoyed. His wife had no part of this sick lie. What mother separates her sick kids from not sick kid while planning out and then going through with their murders. She didn’t help hold her child’s feet to stab and smother her son. I’m sorry this is so far from believable his entire story is. Also why would she have him wait 2 days to kill himself to make sure everything was set up? What needed to be done after they all died other than him dying. His arrogance and just fake tears and emotions while testifying is embarrassing and how he feels he’s the smartest person is the room is just pathetic and gross.
Idk if I believe his entire story or not. I mean I do believe he killed his family but with that being said mothers with more than one child have to separate family from a sick child esp if it’s bad like Covid. It doesn’t mean they are completely isolating them and not repeatedly checking on their wellbeing.
Honestly we don’t know. People do get coo coo and believe in being able to live in salvation through sacrifice. She may have but it’s also doesn’t help his case to be in financial ruin dude to insurance fraud
@@lcjones0519 I could be wrong, but I took it as, why would you separate your sick children if you plan on murdering them? If that was your plan all along, then why would you care if the one who wasn't sick came down with what the sick children had? This right here, plus the fact that there were Christmas presents under the tree, I think 100% says his wife had nothing to do with any of it
It’s absolutely sickening that dog murderers only have to serve 1 year max in a county jail in Florida. We need to do better for the voiceless 🐾🪽
Should be probation at best
Nevermind the innocent humans he murdered, though, right?? 🙄
I’m actually shocked! The way this man speaks and sits back in that chair, while nonchalantly telling the horrific story of how he killed his whole entire family is definitely the most disturbing interview I’ve seen in a long time. I have continuous chills down my spine. Also, he seems to be trying to convince himself of his own lies as he’s saying them out loud. Thank you Annie for telling us about the family and how wonderful they were! At the very least, he’s in jail forever. Absolutely sick and twisted.
He is a demon!!
Exactly, go and watch his entire interrogation it is eerie. Then listen to his testimony, it will literally disgust then upset you completely 😡!!!
Yes, his entire demeanor during this questioning was so creepy and disgusting! I found it exceptionally disturbing to listen to him. Talk about this so nonchalantly then blame his deceased who he unquestionably murdered in cold blood
What a crock of bull story!!!! He had no intention of killing himself! Following in his father’s footsteps but a family annihilation? Blaming his wife is disgusting! May Meghan and the children Rest In Peace!
I think he did entertain killing himself, but did not have the stones to do it. Staying a month in a house with rotting corpses, there was no explaining out of that.
He definitely did not because if so he would be gone. Smh, he's such a disgusting liar!!!
I can't believe the max sentence for killing a dog is 1 year! That's horrible. Not only is that a sweet puppy that he killed but if someone could kill a dog what else are they willing to do?!
I mean, it’s obvious what else he was willing to do. Like oh I don’t know, kill his own children.
@@CanecorsomommaI think it was rhetorical. Not specifically the suspect but people in general. She's saying a year in prison max is too short a sentence for killing a dog because a lot of people, if they are willing to kill a dog, they would probably be willing in the future to kill a human. They should be locked up for a long sentence from the initial dog killing.
Ummm 3 children were murdered!!!!!
His perp walk is giving Danny DeVito as The Penguin.
Glad I’m not the only one that was thinking that 🐧 😅
🤦🏾♀️😆😆… I thought I was only one thinking this
the white jumpsuit was not helping 😂
The Staypuff Man Mini Me...
Tony has zero empathy or charisma, I can't understand why anyone ever liked him.
I thought the same.. smug inferior tone. Ugh what a pos
Yeah ignore the murders, he's still a pretty unlikable guy. Megan likely wanted to move to Florida to have time away from him. What a creep.
I know everybody said he was such a nice guy. But of course they always say that. I guess the quiet nice guys are the one that kills LOL
@@anareilley7727Not sure that he was ever a quiet guy. I can’t imagine him holding back his opinions on anything!
He's like a slimy sleazy greasy car salesman. Ugh
Why would she beg him not to tell her Grandmother she unalived the kids if he was supposed to be dead also?
Wow thank you for this comment. I didn’t even catch this but this just solidifies even more that he is lying evil scumbag. I pray his family is resting in peace.
Flaw in his plot. In trying to hype up her role in the murders, he screwed up the story. Just my guess.
Exactly what I thought! Because he’s an evil liar
Right !!! You got it !
It's because she was already dead I don't believe she had any involvement at all in this tragedy it's all him and his twisted story to not take accountability for his own shit
I dont believe a word of his 'confession' he killed his family because he royally F'ed up, n then spent a month coming up with a story that would make himself seem 'crazy'
T😊
Agreed he had SO much time to figure out how he should spin it to sound crazy and blame his wife when she can't defend any of it!
How the interrogator didnt lose his mind listening to that prolonged lie proposed as a confession is beyond me.
That’s what I was talking about with my husband. These men and women have nerves of steel. The suspect knows he did it and is lying about reasons for it. The cop knows he did it. He knows the cops know he did it and the cops know that he knows that they know he did it (and despise him for it and don’t believe his lies.) It’s honestly like a dance the police have to do with these people and they can’t break character or they’ll lose their part in the dance. It’s seriously like watching my daughter dance for years and years; nobody can do anything wrong or the dance is ruined. So much respect for these guys.
This was SO PHENOMENALLY put together! I didn't have an issue with the music at all and i cant think of a single complaint!
the way he GLARED at the prosecutor when she questioned his medical knowledge, and then the argumentative way he responded when he wasn't allowed to answer questions the way HE wanted to. what a narcissist pile of hot garbage
I agree 100% steaming pile of 💩 why is it that people that have everything going for them except looks, brains and personality are so arrogant??
He did himself zero favors on the stand. He revealed exactly what he is… I can only wonder what his wife ever saw in him.
@@auntkaz815 ikr, she was way out of his league. i wonder if she was done with him on some level and that also played a part.
Definitely a narcissist
I wonder if he was somehow making her sick so she didn't have much fight left in her to argue with or leave him. @@Terminal.Rainbows
This case is so haunting because he stayed with his family for weeks after he murdered them. And his little girl, I just can’t.
All his kids. He's supposed to protect them. 😢
😢
What a horrible man. How dare he get combative with questions in court. All he wanted to talk about how much he knows medically. Also the crying with no tears! He is a creep! I don’t believe everybody thought he was a great guy in his life prior. (Not that anyone could see the murders coming) Seems like a narcissist to me!
I have done a lot of volunteering for many different things. I have noticed some people do it just so others think they are a really good person. The way it was said he would do all these things for others and they felt he was selfless. I feel he did it just for that reason.
He murdered his babies, each one of them, and he sits in court like he's Al Pacino or something. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to prison this insect will soon go!
So easy to blame his wife now that she’s gone. This is sick. Those poor babies, they deserved a chance at life.
His confession is breathtaking to me. I couldn't hurt a hair on my children's heads. It is unbelievable that the person who should be the protector is the person who takes their lives.
The wife had no part of this sick plan. It was all him. And the sick bastard dragged his poor wife’s name into it. What a disgusting piece of 💩. When the FBI goes at these people for fraud they should keep an eye on the family members because they end up harming family members. It’s sick.
I agree. He is saying she stabbed herself, but then he walks back in and she's cleaning the wound? If she is killing herself, she isn't going to also be cleaning herself up.
I don’t like how Annie made it seem that it was a possibility she was involved 🫤.
@@marleylove510Can you say for certain that she wasn't? Her job is to relay information ...not speculate.
This confused me a lot, I’d never heard of the wife’s involvement before… is there evidence. I was shopping while listening with my earbuds, I thought I missed something
Why through this whole thing are they saying the mother had something to do with the death's 😢 of her children?.
Did they find proof that she committed these with him?
Who the hell stab’s their self in the abdomen and then has clear calm conversations and take meds etc. who would believe that story?
Right, smh and I guarantee you the detective was definitely texting the other officers watching the interrogation from the other room 😂, like this is BULLSH**. He is so smug and disgusting 😡!
Watching him in court is sickening. I don’t understand how he can be so arrogant, KNOWING what he did to those poor babies. 😭
I love you and I'm a true fan of all the ways you bring true crime to us but... The music is so off putting. Sometimes I had a hard time concentrating on what u were saying bc of it. Well , the intro music is not where it's at but the background music when ur talking is awful, overwhelming and overstimulating is how someone else described it and I'll have to agree. Pls pls pls go back to the normal way of telling the story... I love you tho!
I know you keep trying to reinvent your channel here n there but I don't get the music in the bk ground it's distracting and just sounds like every other channel that tries this it's always too loud , prefer the annie video without the drowning music x
I kinda agree it isn’t like perfect but it isn’t like that bad the sound mixing is good besides that
I’m sorry but no one is staying calm and coherent after having that much Benadryl, wine and stabbed twice. This man is crazy..
Bat shit
Cuz it's a Fuckin Lie
@@tracilord4854 Correct!
No he says he couldn't remember that interview he gave with the cops. He said it was a long time that he could remember things
@@anareilley7727 I obviously watched the whole video. There was a whole interrogation clip inserted in the video that shows him saying those exact words. I obviously know he was trying to make up a story. But that is so far fetched, a person can say they don’t remember doesn’t mean it’s true.
He killed all is family by himself! 😠 At one point around 1:00:30 he says: "I checked on HER boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"🤔 He's no even emotional at all! Poor kids! Poor mother! and poor puppy!😭
I totally agree! They all do the distancing then blame it on the wife!
I noticed that too! I hope he rots in jail.
I think he said 'our'.
No he said her @theeggtimertictic1136
The German word for death is Tod, and the name Todt is derived from a habitual place name from outside Wurtemburg Todtenweis which means meadow of the dead.
🎃🎃🎃
Chilling
Wasn't there the "Todt" organization in Germany that were Hitler architects.
Well that is quite disturbing.
Fits him to a "T".
The music in the background is messing up my concentration on the story and I keep forgetting what you say. Please please turn it down next video. It’s very distracting 😢
I can’t focus with the music in the back omg lol
I can’t stand the music
I agree the music is distracting
I didn't even hear any music except for the intro
Same! I had to pause it and listen to hear if it was something in real life😅 too loud and ominous and distracting, agreed.
Couple years back my fathers life took a turn to worse due to his own unthinkable actions(cheating on my mom,wreckesly drinking and driving which caused car crash .it ended with my dad loosing drivers licence)He lost it and wanted to commit suicide daily,took a rope and walked passed me,i was standing beside him and was trying to do everything in my power to stop him,he didnt want to get help so I went to doctors explained the situation and with doctors help i started to give my father medicine without his knowledge.Couple weeks went by and my father started to feel better...only then I told him about the meds he has been taking without his knowledge.Every single day my dad was thinking of how to kill himself,we hid knives,any thing sharp and ropes,at times he went mad on us for hiding ropes,every single day we were watching him for months...until he mentally found himself back.Today he is filled with life ,happy, loving his grandkids and life in general.So if you really love somebody you are willing to take exteme steps to save their life.Not to kill your kids and "let your wife end her life"
What medication helped him may i ask?
If your Father's dr helped you give him meds without his knowledge or consent, he should lose his license! He does not get to decide what is and is not ethical! What if you had been lying and you just wanted to murder your Father?
His entire confession is BEYOND chilling. Gave me nightmares.
I actually feel truly sick hearing him so calmly talk about how he killed his family. It's so heartbreaking.
How he can nonchalantly describe how he murdered his children like he's explaining a movie plot is horrifying!
@@samanthahunter1759 right!?! It was so unnatural and creepy!
No emotion…
It is scary how calm and nonchalant he is talking about what he did.
When it comes to sentencing for murder of a child, the offender should always and automatically get the death penalty.
This story was very sad, as are all stories, but this one was really sad.
Annie you’ve done a great job as always. Much love from NWONTARIO, Canada 🇨🇦. ♥️♥️✨
This new format is amazing, only criticism I have is maybe gaining down the background track when you’re talking but this is so good and amazingly well produced so bravo to both you and your team ❤
Yeah I like everything but the music. My adhd can't handle it lol.
1:31:05 it’s funny that this “death pact” just so happened to come to fruition around the exact time all of Tony’s lies were being exposed and catching up to him.
What is this background music and random stock footage!!? Terrible
He disgusts me. I absolutely hate he's trying to drag his wife through 💩 to save himself. I hope he rots in jail!!
This crime baffles me every time I hear about it. All intentional murder is senseless and there’s always a component of mental illness involved, even if it’s temporary. But this one… this was straight up demonic.
It's unhearting that this keeps happening. I don't understand how these people are killing the one's they profess to love. I wonder if they are capable of love in the first place?
THE INTRO 🏆🔥🫶🏻🙌
Yesss!!!!!
@@Solènelamigonnelicornethere's a 'translate to English' option under your post on my screen, so it translates it.
I started to think I was in a cinema for a sec
It's sooo good
Hell yeah
Annie ,why dont you go back to sitting in the couch and just tell the story ,the fotos and music in the background are distracting , especially the music ..( no disrespect just an opinion) ❤
Fotos 😆
I'm with you on the music being distracting!
I believe Annie is still recovering from some medical things around her jaw. She has not fully recovered and was focusing too much on how she looked on camera and wanted to focus on healing and talking in a comfortable way without feeling weird on camera.
I agree with this comment. I don’t like all the photos, the flashing is hard for me and it feels very phony ! Please don’t include photos that aren’t part of their story and please stop using stock photos.
Most of it is okay to me but the flashing during the 911 calls I think could cause seizures. It was giving me a headache I needed to close my eyes to listen.
Too much of a coward to face his mistakes so he murdered his whole family. Than he makes up this story to keep showing how much of a coward he is.
I agree...
He wasn't "confused". He was a bad actor, pretending to be mentally ill.
Exactly, Sally!
production quality goes crazy on this one
I think AI was used quite a bit throughout. You're right, it's noticeably better!
Maybe hired new person
@@totesmcgoats435oh stop it
@@jackstevens585y'all r too sensitive to be online
It's too much.
Please please get rid of the music in the background your my favourite person to listen you but unfortunately its to much for me overwhelming.
What a crazy thing to say as if you're the only listener 😂
@@brianamedina7536I don’t even hear the music 🤣
I knew the mother before she got married. The grandparents rent to my mother. She is good friends with the grandparents. Grandma is 98 and Grandpa is 100. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS CRAZY STORY.
is it part of the criminal profile for these family annihilators to blame the moms? Because it seems like their go-to story. I don't believe the mom had any part of this. I didn't think Shannan Watts was involved in her children's deaths either. I could probably make a whole list.
Yes I believe it is one of their many cowardice traits
Nothing new. Even in the bible Eve got blamed for Adam eating the apple she gave him because he didn't know how to say "No, thank you.", and had no self-control.
I've heard this 3 times. Your storytelling is unmatched. It was as if I hadn't heard it before. I do not believe Tony. I just can't. I believe he did this due to his selfish money issues and then didn't want to be all at fault, so he made it this I share the guilt and the horror. Like Chris Watts. Adore you Annie. ❤
This reminds me of the John List case. They always come up with religious or spiritual excuses. And also, seing him trying to control de prosecutor in court, with such arrogance, makes me wonder why nobody had ever notice his true narcissistic psychopathic personality. This is weird.
I remember that case but I've never heard of this one but wow I dk which is worse?
I thought of the List case as well. Reminded me of it.
Oh yes the John List case. That evil man used religion to " save" his family. He went on to live I believe 25 years with his new family on the run. Oh and. " he is such a good husband , friend etc!" That's not a good man! None of these family anialaters are good people! They use religion but yet they stay alive! Zero sense! To kill your entire family is beyond words. Did Tony actually think he could get away with this? His interrogation is so haunting! Blaming his wife for what he did is beyond comprehension! There's no way that she stabbed herself! He is pond scum who killed his family and trying to put the blame on his wife and religion. Vile, vile human being! Beyond sick!! Also his fake sniffles on the stand are pathetic!!Epitome of evil!! Oh I could go on and on. He even tried to control the courtroom and the questions asked. Obnoxious! Anyway, glad you brought up John list case. What is so sad is the tons and tons of these cases now of family killing family. It seems it's so much more rampart now or could be that social media now brings these cases to light more than in the past. It's so beyond sad! Bless those family members that are left behind from these evil people!
John list got away with it for so long too. That busy that was made was amazing. His current stupid wife refused to admit he was John List lol. Wtf.
They were both similar they were clear narcissists where keeping up a public image of being financially successful and having the perfect family was the most important thing for them, all for those own selfish ego.
So when their own flaws and actions caused their facade to finally break. Rather than face the consequences for those actions and admit it all to their family. They restored to killing their family because their own pride was more important than all of their lives
I was so happy to find a channel where there was no music in the background. Now you are adding music. I’m here to listen to YOU telling the story with integrity and sincerity. Annie, you don’t need props or drama. Just want you sharing your opinion and research
Don’t like the Cheesy background music 🎶 yuck
On the stand he acts like he's annoyed to be there, not devastated that his family is all dead.
The choice to have a woman question him was brilliant as he seems super annoyed that she’s got power at all in the court scenario he put himself in.
And when he does cry it's all sound.
😮 He was committing fraud BEFORE the family problems! It started a year before the family moved to Florida!
The fraud started the problems I think
His “confession” … what a load of crap. He didn’t care about putting the pillow over his children, but had qualms against it for his wife! And the way he’s just telling it like anybody telling what happened to on their trip to the grocery store. Ugh!
10 to 15 minutes to kill a 4 year old. Sickening. But it sounds like he kept smothering her long after she stopped moving. What a creepy pos.
Exactly. I don't buy his story ONE bit.
I'm also getting "Chris Watts" vibes here...
seems he is putting blame on his wife!?
Disgusting person. That's exactly what he is.
Anyone else notice that the piano teachers message said should I show up as planned the last time I spoke to Meg on 12/30?" But werent his wife and the kids gone before then? So why would he even bother setting up the music lessons?
Why is this video different? I liked the way she told the story before 😢.
He played "Basketball"??
He played "Tag"??
No,no,no..both of these activities require running 🙄 No way this dude could tie his own shoes..let alone actually run!! Smh
He's a,literal,big fat liar 😔
I thought the same thing. And the surprise that he would go get fast food after the family died. Does that guy look like he missed a meal in his life? 🤮
With a jackolantern head🎃🎃🎃😆🥁😆
I 💕 dark chapters! Annie, thank you for your dedication to the victims, your audience and the true crime corner of UA-cam! You post daily and never complain, I don't think any other creator is as on top of ish as you
Family annihilation is the saddest form of death, IMO.
Safety, trust, and bonds shattered by someone you love is not only heart wrenching, but spiritually destructive. The lasting darkness that's imprinted on the survivors must be agonizing.
Yikes
Police Officer “okay so Zoe is dead?”
Anthony…. “Mmhmmm”
She is 4 years old? Like what in the actual F?! This guy did not care or love his family at all. There is no emotion or remorse it is disturbing. He is a cold blooded murderer!!!
Oh my gosh you know we all love you to death but that background music is so distracting and bringing me sensory issues. I can't focus on what you're saying and I'm not trying to be mean but can you not do this anymore lol. Your voice is so beautiful we don't need any other sounds I'm not even halfway through and I'm literally triggered. I have sensory issues and I'm sure so many other people do it's so hard to focus on you because the music is just too loud for the background
Anyone else catch when he was on the stand and he said “yes after I saw my family all die” I wanted to be with them. Not after I found them dead. He is so arrogant on the stand.
Yes, I caught that too. He used the word "dying" not dead.
Arrogant 🎃🎃🎃🎃
Not after he murdered them.
I caught that too, what a pos
I’ll never understand how grown adults can believe this end of the world nonsense since it keeps getting predicted and doesn’t happen
I've often thought the exact same thing. Glad I'm not the only one
I think there are a couple reasons. 1-mental illness. Perhaps they have an underlying case that hasn't been diagnosed. 2- abuse. During child or adulthood. 3-drugs. Either prescription or illegal. 4-media. Books, movies and television. If you put any of them together or even on there own situations can be interpreted as revelation type events. Stress and seeing the way the world is changing and in many cases going to shit makes it seem like it could be coming to an end. The same way people have been buying into cults for years. I'm not defending this man in any way, but with the schedule he was keeping yiu can see a snap of the brain coming. Given his childhood, the scheduling, and his wives illness all had a part. But i also feel that it was premeditated and he was using it as an excuse for what he did. Honestly though, i really do see why people believe in an apocalypse. I don't know if any of what i said could be right, just attempting an answer!
It does happen with deep dives into religion, but even secular society when far left/right demagogues promise salvation if you give them absolute control.
The way he turns to the jury. CREEPY
So much like Amber Hurd. WEIRD.
I don’t get what’s distracting about the music 😭 I don’t think it’s too loud and I’m very much engaged with the story she’s telling. Side Note: Rest in Peace to these beautiful souls❤️❤️
It. Interferes with some people's ability to focus on the subject at hand....it happens to me sometimes, but not always.❤
IMO: I have a hard time paying attention in general and the music was not distracting. I find it a weird complaint.
I think this is my last visit to this channel. Way too many comercials!!!
She has more ads than anyone. Guess that's why she can afford all the vacation and her lifestyle
I’ve seen this before and it astounds me how calm and matter of fact he is when talking about murdering all his kids. Like he’s talking about what he would do on a routine day. No emotion. No guilt. Nothing.
I almost turned off while he’s giving his confession! This case is absolutely heartbreaking. Prayers to their family and loved ones🙏🏼
Thank you Annie for bringing awareness and all of your hard work, it never goes unnoticed.
I actually did turn it off. I had to take a break from it and I watch a lot of true crime. This was just horrible!
So excited to see that you have given us another story. I have gotten so many people to take the time to get addicted to your stories. Thank you, Annie. I hope you are feeling better every day.
Same. If someone even brings up a case or true crime in general, I bring her up 😂♥️
So excited? Did you see those innocent children?
@@shelleyjoynson5172 reread what I said without stopping on the word you didn’t like. I was saying that I was excited that we got a new story. Guess what? It had nothing to do with these children as the outcome of this story was already in place before Annie put out this one. I was trying to say that I appreciated all that she does to get people to talk about the innocent victims. My first marriage was Very abusive, even on my little 2 year old and her 5 year old brother. I would never say I was excited for a victim to die.
totally agree.
Why better
So smug and arrogant in court! He is sick and depraved! He knows exactly what happened! He resented his wife for being ill and wanted to get rid of his "burden" of family! Thank you Annie for yet another awesome one!
The way he talked about killing his whole family with zero emotion. Just despicable.
How terrible, such horrible monster. Those beautiful babies they trusted him.How could he do that.He's going straight to hell.
I’m I the only person who’s extremely disturbed by how fucking calm this man is while explaining how he murdered his kids 😮🤯🤯🤬🤬😡😡😱😱
I was looking for other comments about this. I am so disturbed listening to this man speak.
Nope. I feel so grossed out.
The fact that this POS keeps blaming the wife is blowing my mind. WTF. Under the jail. Please and thank you.
The way he just is so nonchalant about it, it’s disturbing!
It’s extremely disturbing watching him calmly recollecting the violence
I have a hard time believing Megan wanted them all to die. She said being a mom was her life and she lived for them. I think he was trying to shift blame.
I am from this area. We were all baffled at how this was his way out. I don’t believe his wife was involved in this at all. He was so willing to hide his secrets and shame, he is softening the blow by saying he too tried to take his own life and that this was his and his wife’s plan but I don’t believe that’s true.
Yeah he's making things up. He is just like his gross father.
Agree
Yes I'm from Waterford...this is so sad
No one will ever convince me that Celebration isn't weird.
Can this be reposted without the music? 😢
I read somewhere that he was an extremely controlling and jealous guy that was obsessed with Megan. Her friends said he would rarely allow her a moment's peace. When Megan was out at lunch or anywhere else with her friends, this ghoul kept blowing up her phone wanting to know constantly where she was, who she was with, and what she was doing. Her friend used to half-joke and tell her to decline the call. He claims he did this because he was concerned about her "medical conditions" at trial, always trying to force "treatment" on her, etc., just to keep control.
I think the Feds moving in on his medical fraud case was the catalyst. He was so proud of being the "provider" of the family before his fraudulent charade came crashing down. He basked in the praise and respect. Rather than sharing and confronting the situation with his wife and family, it was easier for him to kill them. Their discovery of the sham "great provider" role was too much for his ego and may have led to exacerbating already existing marital problems where he would lose her, for sure. Megan is definitely innocent and him blaming her will bring him to justice in the next realm. Just my theory.
Edit: Just watched the very end. Couldn't agree with you more, Annie.
This is absolutely who I think he always was, abusive af and a pos his whole relationship.
I wonder if he kept her more sick than she actually was by drugging her or poisoning her throughout their marriage, and if his dad helped him with the plan
So, do you think this was a spur of the moment thing. He just snapped. He had no alibi set, he didn't try to make it look like a break in, he didn't make it really look like suicide. He stayed in that house for weeks. Was there life insurance? If he is the controlling kind of guy and he premeditated this, you would think he would have had a plan for afterwards.
I am really loving “Dark Chapters”!! Big success. ❤❤
He actually thought he could bully everyone in court to set him free
Yes better if just your voice no music behind it
Love your channel but not a fan of the new format at all. The music is distracting and all the extra visuals aren’t needed and are just too much. It’s lost the feel of “besties sitting around talking about a case”.
Same. Prefer just talking . That is what made yours different than other crime podcasts
So in his mind being on the hook for murder rather than just financial fraud is the better way to go? This guy makes no sense. And then to try and blame his wife for everything, including the fraud? Just sick. What a coward.
He is a coward. He managed to kill his entire family but “struggled” to kill himself??
This is so crazy 😢 he set the alarm for 11:30 for kill his entire family, he planned this, this men doesn't have any remorse of what he did 😡
Listen, I have a sleep issue. I stay in REM. Beam Dream is a game changer. I got your Salty Chocolate Caramel and I am HOOKED. It checks off my dessert box AND knocks me out.
I have the same problem, along with night terrors, talking in sleep, kicking and moving a lot etc. I'm always skeptical that anything can help.
@@e_i_e_i_bro I waited for a year after she started using it. I was afraid it was a fad. I have been on every sleep medication under the moon. This stuff works!
@@e_i_e_i_bro Beam helped me! I'm an insomniac. I could go days without sleep. Beam changed that all for the better.! 😊
Is this legit or do you get a compensation for a sale? Lol
So obvious what's going on with all of these spam Beam posts - we all know it's overpriced rubbish.
I have to turn this off I hate the music sorry girl 😢
bro keep it to yourself lol
I love your channel but not loving the music and constant pictures 🙈🙈 prefer watching you chat! I don’t know why I don’t like this setup 🤷🏼♀️
This is the one … the worst I’ve ever heard. What a shame, those beautiful kids, and I don’t think the mother had anything to do with this.
He also blamed her for the federal case pertaining to his business. She didn't even live in the same state!
It's apparent with this episode that you are creatively trying new things, which is good to do, of course. I figure you might welcome feedback from your faithful followers. This is just my personal opinion. The only thing I personally have difficulty with is background music. I find noise in the background while someone is speaking, in this case you, to be very distracting from what you are saying and very much prefer only the voice of the narrator. I find background music annoying and unnecessary to attain a quality program. You do a great job, and your creativity is admirable. I just thought I'd respectfully put in my two cents. Thanks Annie for all your hard work and commitment to excellence.
Please stop the music in the background. Its really off putting. I love your channel but i don't love the music.
Same here! I am obsessed with this channel but I only got 7 minutes in before I had to turn it off because I couldn’t concentrate 😭😭
Oh I was kinda diggin it
I like it. Ignore the negativity.
@@erinstettner1 it's not negativity. I actually have hearing loss and listening to music while someone is talking mixes everything up and I can't follow it.
I agree. The music drives me CRAZY.
Tony’s testimony is intolerable I wished for fast forward the entirety. Thank you Annie 🫶🏼 another brilliant episode
Is this demon, turning to face the jurors each time the D.A. asked him a question? If I was in that jury, the nightmares I would dread! This was an esteem member of the medical profession 😳
