There was no inheritance for the children Court TV, do u watch your own videos of court trials? Over 2 million was going to the wife, Melody only! Scott loved his father, hated Melody
According to the data, she was the only one on the property when Gary's phone was moving after his death, and Scott was traveling. She was angry about beach trip he had planned and even texted Amanda she was going to "put an end to it". She didn't want granddaughter spending the night. As for Rusty, when told about Gary being in the burn pile, made the statement not to tell him anymore, that he didn't need to know. Who would say that? People want details about a tragedy, even if of a total stranger. I believe Melody is guilty!
Absolutely! If I got that call the first thing Id say is "What the hell are you talking about!!!" "How the heck did he get on the burnpile and why is he there?!" And then ask if he's dead! Rusty said nada!
@@1972dsrai if U watched the trial U would know they done geo digital evidence pin pointing exactly where everyone was who had Gary's phone even..only melody was at home on her own along with her texts it's very clear she did it...
Don't be blind by Melody facial expressions. She crying because she thought she got away from murder. Amanda is in denial. Blame scott. Trial is not about Scott is about Melody
Blame Scott...... Trial is not about Scott. It's about Melody. Wtf? No that's not actually good the justification system works. Look into the law a little bit more Melody may be on trial, but even still it isn't all about her.

Cmon . We've watched this trial. Idk, Vinnie. Maybe ur trying to be a devils advocate. This woman is guilty. Sidenote: the way this woman has traumatized her children is horrible
If I was on the jury, I would find not guilty. I do not feel they proved it at all or showed how she could’ve got him on there considering he weighed 300 pounds.
From the testimony I’ve seen and I’ve watched 90+% there are multiple reasons she’s guilty. It’s not Clue Mr. Whoever in the library with a candlestick but it’s definitely enough for beyond a REASONABLE doubt. They, even the defense, narrowed it down to Scott or Melody and I believe she’s 100% guilty.
What’s hard to comprehend here? Melody confessed to Rusty the night of the murder that Gary was on the burn pile. Not to mention, she was the only one present on the property at the time of the incident. This was proven by phone gps data. And as for the potential argument that Rusty was in some way coerced, no he wasn’t. He only made that statement after having spoken to his attorney.
@@OneStepAhead94 I think he was scared they would the was a complicit and I think he did mess up the date she said that. I think he new he was missing and the day after she told him that he was on the burnpile, after Scott found him.
PROBABLY YES MAN AND M... SHE DID SAY ON THE BURNPILE...he was shot there...and the killer cld take gun and walk away unseen.... read messages betw them...and time was after dinner as they all said
I think everyone is forgetting the GPS and digital phone records. According to those results, Scott was not at home that night until very late. Phone & GPS shows he was still at the lake. Melody and Gary were at home alone when the murder happened.
That's exactly what I think. Not sure how the evidence is being ignored. As far as getting him to the burn pile.. it's crazy what someone can do when they are under pressure. She did it. The evidence is there. Leave the kids alone. They have been through enough 😔
@@tawnie8550, you know...., I have zero doubt Melody killed him. However, I don't think the things happened at the house. I think Gary started the fire and Melody went there shot him and pushed him into the fire. She planned this, that's why she told the grandkids NOT to go that night. So why go thru the trouble of dragging him out of the house and dump him into the fire??
@@BLUEEYESLIKETHEOCEAN-ql8kw If Melody shot Gary out at the fire pit, why is his blood - and a bullet fragment - plus evidence of blood clean-up, present inside the house? (Melody even visited Target the following day to buy more house cleaning products, as listed on an itemised till receipt). The forensic evidence tells the story - Gary was shot inside the house, and his body taken outside to the fire pit. Besides, Melody would not have dared fire a gun outside, at around 10pm, with the attention/questions that could attract. Bad enough that someone heard two shots fired from inside her home at that time (more evidence it happened indoors), but clearly the noise wasn't loud/obvious enough to warrant further investigation by that witness. Melody made sure she was alone that afternoon/evening (even refusing a requested sleepover from one of her granddaughters - who she never refused). She had decided Gary had to go, and when Melody makes her mind up, there's no shifting her. I don't know how she got her 300 lbs hubby's lifeless body from the house to the fire pit, but I have no doubt she achieved it. Adrenaline is a powerful energiser!
Yep. Most torch fuels are infused with citronella oil as insect repellent. She used torch fuel to get rid of the body as soon as possible and to cover the smell of the burnt flesh.
A witness a mile away Heard around 2 gunshots around 10pm on July 3rd. He said there were no hunting areas close by. And Why would she tell Rusty, on recorded conversation we all heard, that Gary Wasn't Supposed to be that BURNED. That is so Incriminating coming from her own mouth. And when Rusty asked her about her telling him that, she said she Doesn't Remember, but not Denied it, only that Gary had started the Burn Pile. Who starts a burn pile at 2am in the morning or even midnight. Gary returned home that night around 9:30pm, according to phone extractions, and she shot him then. She even said she was building the pile, and naturally was very busy cleaning and working. And it was very Unusual for her and Rusty to be on the phone for over an hour and a few times on same night. And she said she always went to bed around 8:30pm. And there was NO data on Gary's C-Pap machine for the night of the 3rd. So he didn't go to sleep because it would have recorded it. Then the grandkids wanted to come over on the 3rd, but she said No. And on her text to Amanda, she said She HAD Gary's Phone. Scott came home when Melody called him to tell him horses were out, which was a lie, and that call was around 11pm on the 3rd. Then there are computer records of Rusty on the web searching to see if police can read their text messages a couple of months before, also their wedding bands for their wedding after a few months after Gary passes away. I think Rusty was scared and searched because maybe that was around the time that Gary went to hospital because he felt sick after they had an argument and Melody baked him some cookies, so he felt she poisoned him. Gary told Chris that he thinks Melody poisoned him. Gary loved her so he wasn't going to press any charges. Then the accusations that Melody had an affair with her son in law, Chris, Amanda's husband. This woman has just been evil to the core, and her hatred for her children and her love for money, which she could have had her own profession, but she didn't want to work. She did Not contribute to the family in any way, shape or form, much less to society. This family was just like any other family and barely any problems, other than the division caused by a loose woman. I believe the text message to Scott from Gary was actually Melody doing it since she would take his phone GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS
Great observations.....she is guilty to me as well. I don't think the state proved this case to the jury 100%. Although both sides were great. A dysfunctional family.
She sold the house for almost a million dollars, the kids aren't getting Anything! Now she just has to be set free so she can go enjoy her husbands hard earned money. The family is messed up bc melody is a narcissist and therefore she kept everyone divided by turning them on each other with fabricated drama. Clearly amanda was her golden child and in denial. The other three children knew right away that their mother did it!
Exactly, Vinnie clearly hasn't been following this case at all, he's totally clueless about the facts and the various players. Fact is, no family member but Melody had any motive to kill Gary - she was his wife of 38 years and in line to get the whole $4.5 million estate, as she knew. None of their kids would get a cent if he died! She was also having a hot and heavy affair, and they'd talked of marriage. She couldn't stand her husband Gary, they lived in separate parts of the house, she had betrayed him umpteen times with various affairs, and spending outrageous amounts of money. She is a vile, greedy, self-centred woman and 3 of her 4 kids believe her capable of murdering their dad. That is all powerful evidence of her guilt - and I haven't even got onto the forensics! So what if Scott said he'd seen burning bodies in Iraq, and so believed it was one? Doesn't mean he put it there! In fact it was Melody who mentioned the body first (pretending she'd just noticed it). She asked Scott if he'd thrown a goat on the fire. I think that's a REALLY weird comment, and horribly offensive when she knew it wasn't a goat laying there, but her husband!
If the children were wanting money and control of the property they would have outed Melody, not Gary. Gary was the breadwinner and seems to have given freely to his children. Why would they out him and put Melody in control of assets when it seems she was always the one complaining about Gary giving to his children? 🤔
If mom gets the money they don't benefit. Mom out of the picture they DO. GARY was also starting to CUT THEM ALL OFF and MOM was insisting they pay back money that were loans. Lots of motive. You also have a son CONSTANTLY STEALING. Melody didn't steal anything, lived as she wanted and the man was terminal. It makes no sense after 35 years to off him when she would soon inherit everything.
@@wandarose9285 she lied and lied and lied. then manitpulated her kids and her boyfriend. the forensic evidence tech wise and witnesses clear the kids .
Well, ANY mother who would throw her own child under the bus, is despicable! Melody is an immoral, cold and calculating woman. I believe she is guilty.
What an illogical argument. YOUR logic is- if she is immoral enough to blame her son for something SHE did, then she MUST have done it! TF?? You don't know she did it and there is not enough evidence.
@@beyondlondon8600, you don't get it, DON'T YOU?? Plenty of evidence pointed to the only one that murdered him.... Her name is MELODY, nobody else, just the evil...., Melody!
@@beyondlondon8600Ur the one who can't understand the evidence she's 💯 guilty U can't see that U should maybe take up another hobby instead of true crime...
She and Rusty were planning for Gary to die SOON, a brief mourning period, the getting hitched and spending Gary’s money! Already looking at rings! BUT… Gary had a side chick and Melody was desperate to speed things up! She said it! “He’s on the burn pile.” Rusty instantly knew she did it! He is kind of accessory after the fact. Melody bought phone minutes with Gary’s credit card. She knew he’d never know it. She and Gary talked late into the morning that night, which was out of the norm. Amanda said sending her mom to jail won’t bring Gary back. She is sticking with her mom and the money. She has completely betrayed her siblings. She knows what happened.
I disagree, mom had no access to the checking account. She knew she wasn’t on the checking account so killing him wound have left her without access to any money. The other three kids had dad as an ATM. I characterize Scott as narcissistic. He felt that farm was his. He has a motive.
@@creatibeth He has phone data and a doorbell camera showing he wasn't on the property. Melody was the only person who was on the property during the time he was killed.
@@creatibeth wrong! Gary had a life insurance policy for 2 million dollars and guess who was the only beneficiary? Melody. She's guilty and all evidence points to her
@creatibeth I agree scott should have been investigated further I dont beleive anything he has said he has tried to set his mother up hoping she gets sentenced his money was money his father had had enough of him always spending his father's money yes he did state it was his farm he is a liar it was his parents farm scott said he seen blood vessels in the remains in the fire liar both sons were free loaders they should have done blood illumination in his barn not just his parents home his place was filthy yet his bathroom was spotless they have not proven the mother committed murder my opinion scott is the guilt one I hope she walks free
Prosecutors need to play the last video, last words of Gary from his own cell phone, showing the broken plate, saying what he might face next at supper, meaning Melody tampering with his food! He knew something was about to happen. She said “last straw” was vacation for kids and Gary. She was mad about money spent.
Exactly. Apparently he may have been ready to divorce Melody.........did he tell her that and that is why she killed him on July 3rd? I think the things were coming to a head in their relationship due to all the financial disagreements........this was not brought up because there was no real evidence that they had had it out but it could have happened........after all, Melody's texts made it seem like there was going to be a confrontation.
My speculation is that Melody tried to poison him by serving him meals and he acknowledged that in one of his videos and that's why he felt so crappy for a while there because she was either using antifreeze or a poison or something I've watched enough murder shows to know that it takes a toll on your body and I believe she tried to poison him first and that didn't work and she just lost it Melody is guilty and had she not burned his body they could have done some tests to see if there were a substances in his blood but she tried to cover her tracks and all she had to do was hold a gun to his head and tell him to go to the top of the hill and she shot him and rolled him down into the burn pit and no lifting required
I think Gary spoiled his children but that's not a sin, but well off people spoil there children it's seems to me that she (melody) didn't like that just curious 3 out 4 children didn't speak to melody imo whoever is charged I hope it's the right person❤🙏🏻🌷
Quit stereotyping everybody who was born and raised in the south with a blanket statement such as that. My family NEVER swept issues under the rug. South Carolina chiming in.
Dear people, Scott was not at home when this murder occurred. Just follow Melody’s phone communications on both her regular phone and her burner phone on Tuesday July 3. Prosecution was able to narrow down murder time to about 10pm. Most important thing was the CPAP machine which Gary has to absolutely use for his sleep to be able to breathe throughout the night. CPAP Machine records usage time and hours etc. Gary NEVER went to bed that night of July 3. CPAP machine was NEVER USED. The last night CPAP was used was the previous night July 2nd and was switched off on the morning of July 3rd at 7.48 AM. Scott only went home at 11.34PM on July 3rd after Melody called him at 10.52pm to come home and check the horses. At 11.34pm, if Gary had not been murdered. He would have already been in bed with his CPAP. I have a strong feeling that Melody only got Scott to go back home to make sure there was another person on the property for reasonable doubt in case she got caught. At this point, Melody had already told Rusty that Gary was on the burn pile.
There is an overwhelming evidence of Melody's motive, means, and opportunity to commit this crime. On the 3rd of July late at night Melody used their Kubota RTV and ropes to move Gary's body from his basement office, where he was killed by her with the stolen gun from Martha, through the french door, which was on a ground level, toward the fire pit. She made the fire and used the citronella infused torch fuel for the increased burning temperature and cover-up of the smell. She called Scott at 10:55 pm demanding his coming home to get the loose horses back into the stall. Scott arrived at 11:35 pm and observed all the horses in their stalls and fire burning in the fire pit. At that point Scott didn't know that he was lied to and framed by his own mother, who wanted to get rid of her husband and her son who lived on the farm. Her main motive was money and power, lust and new life with her lover who had already bought the wedding rings for them.
Why didn't scott go see if fire in burn pile was ok? Why didn't he go the next day on the 4th? He prob thought his dad was home burning something? Scott went to his mom's room that night when he got home but didn't wonder where his dad was and what was burning in fire pit?? Very suspicious. Also wouldn't let his mom call 911 he panicked and told her he would have to call. When he walked over to burn pile he knew right away it was a human and grabbed the skull? Very strange things coming from Scott. I think Melody know's that scott did it and she didn't call police that night. She called Rusty. And told him, will he's in the burn pile ya know.....
@ Scott wasn’t home when the fire was started. That was proven with phone/gps records. Melody was blowing his phone up to come home & get the horses. Fire was already going, he figured his Dad started it and that was that, nothing suspicious there. But Melody calling her lover at like 2:30 in the morning telling him “Gary’s in the burn pile” is a mic drop. Scott wouldn’t gain financially by killing Dad, he would be better off killing his Mom who was pissed her husband was paying for Scott’s phone/cable/insurance bills but would cut her cc off when she went to Walmart. Scott is a loser, no doubt about that, but he took care of the “farm” and only gained about $600/monthly monetarily from Dad. Not to mention Amanda benefited from Melody’s finances, when Gary cut her off, poor Amanda couldn’t get her hair done or her teeth fixed. Melody pinned her kids against each other and their father, only to benefit herself. Again, “GARYS ON THE BURN PILE” and Rusty replying “DONT TELL ME ANOTHER WORD!”
@@EvelynSantos2222, you and your thoughts are crazy!! Scott was in the military. He knew what human remains look like when they are burned. At least, use your common sense. Ohhh, I just realized you don't have common sense either. Scott didn't have to go and check anything. He knew his father was going to burned some stuff. He was called with lies that the horses were out. He was probably mad that he rushed home for nothing. The evil mom is the killer!!
There was NO inheritance for the kids Court TV! Watch the trial, facts matter! There was only inheritance for Melody, the wife, over 2 million! Scott didn’t have a motive. He loved his father
Yes the kids would be next in line to receive Scott’s inheritance if the Mom is incarcerated. Scott also needed money. I believe Scott ask him for money and dad said no. Amanda said they would have to ask there dad for money he would never just hand it over to them.
If Scott was going to kill someone he would have killed his mom because if he wanted everything it would be easier to wait for Gary to die because as long as Melody is alive he’s not getting anything!
No. Dad LOVED Melody and ALWAYS sided with her over the kids. If Melody died, they wouldn't go after dad - LE would have investigated THE KIDS as they should have done here. They were angry with MOM because she wanted loans paid back. Kids used the affairs as motive. What motive?? If mom gets the money they don't benefit. Mom out of the picture they DO. Gary was also starting to cut them all off. Lots of fights, lots of motive. You also have a son CONSTANTLY STEALING, going around saying he owned the place. Melody didn't steal anything, lived as she wanted and the man was terminal. It makes no sense after 35 years to off him when she would soon inherit everything. Those kids knew they wouldn't outsmart dad the lawyer or be able to blame dad. Mom alive but in prison = they get the money and they win. Dad alive and mom dead = those boys are going to prison.
She's an agent of the devil so she don't care about the children. They only care about their fake outer image and to win at all costs. They usually overplay their hand and self-destruct. It's all up to the jury. The prosecution says Melody shot Gary in the basement. The defense says the blood droplets could have been from when Gary was sick and had coughed up blood or when he was bitten by a dog.
@@ohioh111b111y maybe but he remained dedicated to his family. Two wrongs definitely don't make a right. If Melody couldn't rebuild trust in her marriage because of "his wandering eyes", then she should have put her children first and separated from him. She had options that did not include eliminating her children's father.
She's a spiteful witch who hated it when her hubby spent money on their kids - she thought it should all come to her. A truly horrible mother, who robbed her children and grandchildren of their loving Pa/Grandpa - and then tried to frame her innocent son for the murder she committed. She'd have happily seen Scott go to prison for her. She's pure evil. What kind of woman invites her lover to her daughter's big society wedding, then practically makes out with him in front of her husband, their adult kids, and assorted wedding guests? She deliberately humiliated her poor husband with that disgusting behaviour, and upset her kids (could have ruined her daughter's big day too - she obviously didn't give a damn). That alone showed what a vile wife she was to Gary, and mother she was to their kids. He launched divorce proceedings against her about 8 years before he died, in response to one of her earlier affairs. But sadly he relented and didn't see it through. I'm amazed he didn't ditch her after the wedding scandal! If only he had known she was capable of killing him, and got out, he would be alive today. Very sad.
The mother is one-hundred percent guilty in my opinion! Scott would want her dead not his father, whom he loved. With the father dead, the mother with Rusty, would take all the money and perhaps, not give the kids anything and keep it all for herself.
what a nonsense; she would take all the money 🤣The money would be divided by Court order. The wife gets always 50/50 after divorce especially being married for 38 years and raising 4 kids. In the murder case Scott would be the "winner" because throwing his mother under the buss all the kids would have to split everything equally, mother excluded and Melody's part was the biggest, legally! Scott is the killer!
@@christinefleming8435 maybe he didn’t set out to kill his dad but Dad may have threaten to cut him off and an argument and altercation broke out. The father was tired of Scott’s and Chris’s shenanigans.
@@didibolter9362 Rusty is so scare he speaks without thinking and he gave the wrong day when she said he was in the burn pile. He confuses himself, trying to protect himself. I think no one has proven the case to be guilty without a reasonable doubt.
I don’t think anyone can judge Scott for what he said to Amanda about discovery his dad’s body in burn pile. Unless you’ve fought in a major war , smelt death, saw death , burning bodies, you’re never the same mentally.
He probably had PTSD. His dad probably knew it too and that’s why he let him work on the farm. Scott wasn’t getting a great amount of money for working on the farm.
Martha said melody hated Gary. And I believe her. She was madder than a mfer that Gary was paying for another beach vacation. And she hated him already…….
@ it’s a evil viscous act of a selfish and desperate woman. 😈. But I will lift Gary and his children up in prayer. 🙏🏻 🙌🏼 and pray their hearts are still in knowing that lord is with them. And will forever be. No matter what happens with any of this court stuff. ☮️💜
@@didibolter9362 I know she just must be at her core a miserable evil woman. I can understand you could be unhappy about it and still go on the trip. For her kids and grandkids. It’s already booked. Everybody’s ready to go.
@@LyndseeM Yep, Gary asked Melody to come with them and make it a family vacation, but she's such a miserable, controlling abuser she refused, and instead sulked because her wealthy husband dared spend his hard earned cash on a nice beach trip for their family members. Melody wanted all his money to be spent on her! Meanwhile she was sneaking off to sleep with her lover Rusty every chance she got. If only Gary had recognised what a nasty, toxic woman she is and divorced her, he would be alive today.
100% Melody killed Gary. Her lover, Rusty, even said that Melody told him on the 3rd that Gary is on the burn pile and nobody noticed he is missing yet. Slam dunk.
It's "HE" is in the burn pile, which equates to the fact that she and Rusty had been discussing Melody's issues with Gary shortly prior to saying that.
@@Youaintdownhome they had removed the legs but had it on a roller. The piano weighed about 400 lbs and two people moving the piano makes it 200 lbs each. Gary was 300 lbs. Melody helped balance the piano not carry it.
Melody shot Gary in the basement. Gary ran upstairs and outside and collapsed. Melody used one of the tractors to put Gary on the burn pile. Melody is very evil
There is no blood from Gary anywhere unless I missed something. The few blood droplets they found were Melody’s. Where is Gary’s blood? You don’t get shot in the chest/ribs without bleeding. This case is just baffling to me. He had to have been shot while standing near the fire. It’s either that or he fell accidentally or was pushed into the fire and then shot. Bullet didn’t penetrate the rib bones. Could have been planted but I doubt it.
Amanda was a terrible witness. Melody's 3 other children never said a bad word about Amanda but Amanda said some horrible things about them. She is just like her mother
Her mother has done that also, she is just like her mother. While I felt sorry for her, I think that she is just doing what her mother has done for a long time. Trashing one child to another, pitting them against each other? Sounds to me like that is what Melody did.
And HER HAND WAS OUT TOO! She threw her siblings under the bus for wanting $$ but her own text with her Mom said “Your Dad cut my card off so I can’t pay for your hair appointment” and the same for her dental procedure..
Scott has a solid alibi. He was the only one who started actually looking for his Dad when told he was missing. He is the one who responded to the body in a way that protected anyone else from seeing his Dad like that. There's no way someone could frame Melody in the way the evidence stacked up. That is a lot of planning, with, for example, Martha Jane's gun missing- a 38 nobody outside of her circle knew about, the blood drops, the wet clothes, the tractor, the wallet, the bullet and so on. That was all error in the actual act of planning the murder and carrying it out
HE DELETED THE TRAIL CAM FOOTAGE. IF he believed mom had done it... he'd have made sure that footage got to the cops. Deleted it instead WHILE dad was being looked for! You would be reviewing that footage! Not deleting it!
@@wandarose9285 Nah, that's a nothing bit of non-evidence the defence are trying to make something of. He was likely in the habit of deleting, as am I, it doesn't mean a thing. Scott hasn't been charged with anything at all, because not only does he have a rock solid alibi, there's ZERO evidence against him. His evil mother Melody murdered his father. Hopefully this jury is smart enough to see her obvious guilt!
@@13hickory I agree with that PTSD and his situation altogether set's my alarm bell's off.. but what sister do u mean? II also got weird vibes from Chris, but mostly Scott. Just my theory, but ive had a few, like on the Farris wheel I am on! I pray for the jury. I think Amanda was honest, 3 against 1 (for siblings) does not automatically discredit the 1 alone, imo
@@omarkaroush3723 Scott is a narcissist. He immediately said the gun was missing and acted suspicious by saying over and over, i’ve seen burning bodies …this appeared to his way of convincing his sisters, brother and the law enforcement people he had nothing to do with his dad’s death. When you ramble and ramble maybe it’s because you’re trying to cover up something. Keep in mind he deleted film footage.,
Melody did it. Scott wasn’t there, she was. Scott was given money, she was cut off because she was a cheater. Scott was screaming to Amanda that he knows what burned bodies look like is because Amanda was in shock! I am the same way, when I hear news I panic and go all to pieces. These Farris children and grandchildren have been through HELL! And let’s not forget, the granddaughter testified that Melody never told her no to sleeping over. And why would she tell her no when the granddaughter lived out of town? Because she had serious plans that night. And wasn’t that the night she called Scott to come home bc the horses were out and when he got there, they were not out. She’s trying to frame him! What a pathetic “mother” I’d go to hell and back for my children no matter what!
Innocent until proven guilty!!! Melody and all her children have cried during this trial. I don't believe the prosecutors proved this case. Good luck to the jury trying to reach a verdict. I think this is a tough one.
What is so hard to believe about a father taking care of his children with monetary support. A child living with parents or on their property? A mother alienating her other children by making one the favorite? Happens all over this country. Another Vallow/Daybell case- Sex, Money, and Power that has nothing to do with these kids.
She said she had bad back and knee, acting like she could never move Gary to burn pile, but she could move that 400 pound piano. She did hop up quickly for every break after sitting an hour with no problem, especially when her lover was in court 😂
She was devastated when Scott was testifying. I thought she felt sorry for him even though he was so nasty, entitled, disrespectful and throwing her under the bus.
Disagree completely about the assessment of Scott. I have a son who was in Iraq and saw some horrific things. People who have been traumatized like that don't always respond the way WE think we would or should.
Did he get hit over the head or something else that the fire prevented from certainty And Who started the fire & when did the fire get started and Who started the fire ???
16:17 "Oh, you're on a worldwide livestream discussing very serious topics?? Leme just cut right thru here..." BANG CLANK CRASH. I absolutely love that this cat clearly believes that it's his / her house, and the human is just living in it. I also love the human for allowing the cat to believe that lol. Idk who she is, but I'm already a big fan.
To see this old wicked woman fake sadness when Amanda describes what her brother Scott told her ,about the body in the burn pile is sickening. Like she didn’t do that!! Melody aka Grinch is a cold sick monster!!
Still confused about the doctor's testimony yesterday. The only way Gary's situation was not a homicide is if he shot himself in the basement and then decided to go and nap in the burn pile.
I thought she did it but after the testimony of so many in the family and the fact that she couldn’t possibly move a dead weight 300lb man on her own, I’m at the point of Scott killed him. There’s just not enough convincing evidence that she’s 100% guilty.
Um.. u must have missed where she helped move a 400-500 pound piano! Did u see all the straps, tarps & things to move other things in that place? She had a tractor like vehicle with blood on it.
The basement was a walkout. The tractor was not parked in its designated spot which was suspicious. I’m appproaching my 50’s and am 5’4 and 125lbs.. I’m 100% confident I could handle 300lbs of deadweight if I needed to…
I’m in agreement with others that she shot him while he was working on the fire pit, and evidence inside was planted. Unfortunately I think defense did a good job of creating sufficient doubt, and she just may walk free.
First 3 children’s testimonies credible. Amanda a whining born again who thinks she is better than the other 3. Only cried when defense questioned her. Not when prosecutor did. Holier than thou and living in denial. Amanda bad actress 😮
I have ZERO doubt Melody killed him, plenty of reasons and evidence that she did it. However, I don't think the things happened at the house. I think Gary started the fire and Melody went there shot him and pushed him into the fire. She planned this, that's why she told the grandkids NOT to go that night. So why go thru the trouble of killing him in the house, then drag him out of the house and dump him into the fire?? That's why they cannot figured out how she can possibly moved the man into the fire. She planned it and wanted to do it asap. Her boyfriend knows she did it too!! No doubt about that!!
@5:46 to 6:35. You have no idea how much I loved hearing her spell it out like that - spewing the TRUTH instead of putting up FRONTS in order to look good to everybody else
One of the statements she made to RUSTY is the clincher for me. Instead of telling him "Gary" is in the burn pile, instead she said "he's" in the burn pile - as in "the existing obstacle between us getting married" is in the burn pile, and now all the money is coming to me (us).
Was there doors leading out of the basement to the outdoors? If so… IMO Melody could haves used the Kaboda and tractor 🚜 and moved Gary to the burn pile. Poor Gary worked his butt off, provided for all the family all those years and that’s the thanks he gets. May Gary RIP.
I don’t think she moved him. I think she lured Gary out to the burn pile saying that there was some emergency and that she needed help because Scott was gone. He then took the vehicle and drove there and when she was done killing him then she drove it back.
Wow! Melody really does have one empathetic bone in her body and it’s for Amanda only! She cried seeing her favorite hurting. Those tears I believe were not for Gary.
It shows what he deleted, they were able to retrieve them. He deleted animal shots. He has a solid alibi. He was the only one who started actually looking for his Dad when told he was missing. He is the one who responded to the body in a way that protected anyone else from seeing his Dad like that. There's no way someone could frame Melody in the way the evidence stacked up. That is a lot of planning with Martha Jane's gun missing, the blood drops, the wet clothes, the tractor, the wallet, and so on. That was all error in the actual act of planning the murder
Having heard everything Amanda had to say. There were, many, many contradictions, especially when describing the type of parents her mum & dad were. And that's just for starters. Ultimately, she's presenting 'her truth' based on the person she has become since finding God but, what was needed was the testimony of her old self not the new updated version.
If she divorced him instead of killing him, she would have been receiving spousal support plus half of the community assets. She’d have the freedom to do whatever.
No. Georgia is not a no fault State. With a proven affair w Rusty, she would have gotten nothing/way less. Life insurance in case of an accident was 4.5million all paid to Melody.
There ARE many different scenarios that are possibilities here...suspicions are NOT proof..it's likely that the mother did it but it's really supposition

According to the data, she was the only one on the property when Gary's phone was moving after his death, and Scott was traveling. She was angry about beach trip he had planned and even texted Amanda she was going to "put an end to it". She didn't want granddaughter spending the night. As for Rusty, when told about Gary being in the burn pile, made the statement not to tell him anymore, that he didn't need to know. Who would say that? People want details about a tragedy, even if of a total stranger. I believe Melody is guilty!
Yes!! Seems like a lot of people are forgetting the evidence... the facts. You nailed it 👍
Absolutely! If I got that call the first thing Id say is "What the hell are you talking about!!!" "How the heck did he get on the burnpile and why is he there?!" And then ask if he's dead! Rusty said nada!

Cmon . We've watched this trial. Idk, Vinnie. Maybe ur trying to be a devils advocate. This woman is guilty.
Sidenote: the way this woman has traumatized her children is horrible
If I was on the jury, I would find not guilty. I do not feel they proved it at all or showed how she could’ve got him on there considering he weighed 300 pounds.
she has played them all off against each other all their lives I suspect
I would find her NOT GUILTY
I would find her GUILTY. ⚖️
From the testimony I’ve seen and I’ve watched 90+% there are multiple reasons she’s guilty. It’s not Clue Mr. Whoever in the library with a candlestick but it’s definitely enough for beyond a REASONABLE doubt. They, even the defense, narrowed it down to Scott or Melody and I believe she’s 100% guilty.
What’s hard to comprehend here? Melody confessed to Rusty the night of the murder that Gary was on the burn pile. Not to mention, she was the only one present on the property at the time of the incident. This was proven by phone gps data. And as for the potential argument that Rusty was in some way coerced, no he wasn’t. He only made that statement after having spoken to his attorney.
@@OneStepAhead94 I think he was scared they would the was a complicit and I think he did mess up the date she said that. I think he new he was missing and the day after she told him that he was on the burnpile, after Scott found him.

I think everyone is forgetting the GPS and digital phone records. According to those results, Scott was not at home that night until very late. Phone & GPS shows he was still at the lake. Melody and Gary were at home alone when the murder happened.
That's exactly what I think. Not sure how the evidence is being ignored. As far as getting him to the burn pile.. it's crazy what someone can do when they are under pressure. She did it. The evidence is there. Leave the kids alone. They have been through enough 😔
@@tawnie8550, you know...., I have zero doubt Melody killed him. However, I don't think the things happened at the house. I think Gary started the fire and Melody went there shot him and pushed him into the fire. She planned this, that's why she told the grandkids NOT to go that night. So why go thru the trouble of dragging him out of the house and dump him into the fire??
@BLUEEYESLIKETHEOCEAN-ql8kw i agree with you.
@@BLUEEYESLIKETHEOCEAN-ql8kw If Melody shot Gary out at the fire pit, why is his blood - and a bullet fragment - plus evidence of blood clean-up, present inside the house? (Melody even visited Target the following day to buy more house cleaning products, as listed on an itemised till receipt).
The forensic evidence tells the story - Gary was shot inside the house, and his body taken outside to the fire pit. Besides, Melody would not have dared fire a gun outside, at around 10pm, with the attention/questions that could attract. Bad enough that someone heard two shots fired from inside her home at that time (more evidence it happened indoors), but clearly the noise wasn't loud/obvious enough to warrant further investigation by that witness.
Melody made sure she was alone that afternoon/evening (even refusing a requested sleepover from one of her granddaughters - who she never refused). She had decided Gary had to go, and when Melody makes her mind up, there's no shifting her. I don't know how she got her 300 lbs hubby's lifeless body from the house to the fire pit, but I have no doubt she achieved it. Adrenaline is a powerful energiser!
Melody is guilty as charged. I think she used citronella to cover the smell & to keep the fire going. RIP Gary 💙 Justice ⚖️
Yep. Most torch fuels are infused with citronella oil as insect repellent. She used torch fuel to get rid of the body as soon as possible and to cover the smell of the burnt flesh.
Agree
A witness a mile away Heard around 2 gunshots around 10pm on July 3rd. He said there were no hunting areas close by. And Why would she tell Rusty, on recorded conversation we all heard, that Gary Wasn't Supposed to be that BURNED. That is so Incriminating coming from her own mouth. And when Rusty asked her about her telling him that, she said she Doesn't Remember, but not Denied it, only that Gary had started the Burn Pile. Who starts a burn pile at 2am in the morning or even midnight. Gary returned home that night around 9:30pm, according to phone extractions, and she shot him then. She even said she was building the pile, and naturally was very busy cleaning and working. And it was very Unusual for her and Rusty to be on the phone for over an hour and a few times on same night. And she said she always went to bed around 8:30pm. And there was NO data on Gary's C-Pap machine for the night of the 3rd. So he didn't go to sleep because it would have recorded it. Then the grandkids wanted to come over on the 3rd, but she said No. And on her text to Amanda, she said She HAD Gary's Phone. Scott came home when Melody called him to tell him horses were out, which was a lie, and that call was around 11pm on the 3rd.
Then there are computer records of Rusty on the web searching to see if police can read their text messages a couple of months before, also their wedding bands for their wedding after a few months after Gary passes away. I think Rusty was scared and searched because maybe that was around the time that Gary went to hospital because he felt sick after they had an argument and Melody baked him some cookies, so he felt she poisoned him. Gary told Chris that he thinks Melody poisoned him. Gary loved her so he wasn't going to press any charges. Then the accusations that Melody had an affair with her son in law, Chris, Amanda's husband. This woman has just been evil to the core, and her hatred for her children and her love for money, which she could have had her own profession, but she didn't want to work. She did Not contribute to the family in any way, shape or form, much less to society. This family was just like any other family and barely any problems, other than the division caused by a loose woman.
I believe the text message to Scott from Gary was actually Melody doing it since she would take his phone
GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS
Great observations.....she is guilty to me as well. I don't think the state proved this case to the jury 100%. Although both sides were great. A dysfunctional family.
@@olgapking9172 not guilty scott set her up
The state did not prove it correct. Miss Trial @barbierivera3397
Scott would not gain Anything because the MOM would not give them money once gray is gone period.
She sold the house for almost a million dollars, the kids aren't getting Anything! Now she just has to be set free so she can go enjoy her husbands hard earned money.
The family is messed up bc melody is a narcissist and therefore she kept everyone divided by turning them on each other with fabricated drama. Clearly amanda was her golden child and in denial. The other three children knew right away that their mother did it!
I pray that the grand jury gives justice to Gary.
Me too
Scott has quite a temper? How about Scott has quite an alibi??
So what would you do if you knew your mother just took out your father? I’d be a bit quick tempered too!
I'd say the Melody had a worse temper.
@@jeniwhitt481I agree.
Exactly, Vinnie clearly hasn't been following this case at all, he's totally clueless about the facts and the various players. Fact is, no family member but Melody had any motive to kill Gary - she was his wife of 38 years and in line to get the whole $4.5 million estate, as she knew. None of their kids would get a cent if he died!
She was also having a hot and heavy affair, and they'd talked of marriage. She couldn't stand her husband Gary, they lived in separate parts of the house, she had betrayed him umpteen times with various affairs, and spending outrageous amounts of money.
She is a vile, greedy, self-centred woman and 3 of her 4 kids believe her capable of murdering their dad. That is all powerful evidence of her guilt - and I haven't even got onto the forensics!
So what if Scott said he'd seen burning bodies in Iraq, and so believed it was one? Doesn't mean he put it there! In fact it was Melody who mentioned the body first (pretending she'd just noticed it). She asked Scott if he'd thrown a goat on the fire. I think that's a REALLY weird comment, and horribly offensive when she knew it wasn't a goat laying there, but her husband!

If the children were wanting money and control of the property they would have outed Melody, not Gary. Gary was the breadwinner and seems to have given freely to his children. Why would they out him and put Melody in control of assets when it seems she was always the one complaining about Gary giving to his children? 🤔
If mom gets the money they don't benefit. Mom out of the picture they DO. GARY was also starting to CUT THEM ALL OFF and MOM was insisting they pay back money that were loans. Lots of motive. You also have a son CONSTANTLY STEALING. Melody didn't steal anything, lived as she wanted and the man was terminal.

Look at the evidence the whole trial not on what you think of someone.
Mom had the most to gain. She never shed a tear for Gary and despised him.
She and Rusty were planning for Gary to die SOON, a brief mourning period, the getting hitched and spending Gary’s money! Already looking at rings! BUT… Gary had a side chick and Melody was desperate to speed things up! She said it! “He’s on the burn pile.” Rusty instantly knew she did it! He is kind of accessory after the fact. Melody bought phone minutes with Gary’s credit card. She knew he’d never know it. She and Gary talked late into the morning that night, which was out of the norm. Amanda said sending her mom to jail won’t bring Gary back. She is sticking with her mom and the money. She has completely betrayed her siblings. She knows what happened.
I disagree, mom had no access to the checking account. She knew she wasn’t on the checking account so killing him wound have left her without access to any money. The other three kids had dad as an ATM. I characterize Scott as narcissistic. He felt that farm was his. He has a motive.
@@creatibeth He has phone data and a doorbell camera showing he wasn't on the property. Melody was the only person who was on the property during the time he was killed.
@@creatibeth wrong! Gary had a life insurance policy for 2 million dollars and guess who was the only beneficiary? Melody. She's guilty and all evidence points to her
@creatibeth I agree scott should have been investigated further I dont beleive anything he has said he has tried to set his mother up hoping she gets sentenced his money was money his father had had enough of him always spending his father's money yes he did state it was his farm he is a liar it was his parents farm scott said he seen blood vessels in the remains in the fire liar both sons were free loaders they should have done blood illumination in his barn not just his parents home his place was filthy yet his bathroom was spotless they have not proven the mother committed murder my opinion scott is the guilt one I hope she walks free
Prosecutors need to play the last video, last words of Gary from his own cell phone, showing the broken plate, saying what he might face next at supper, meaning Melody tampering with his food! He knew something was about to happen. She said “last straw” was vacation for kids and Gary. She was mad about money spent.
Exactly. Apparently he may have been ready to divorce Melody.........did he tell her that and that is why she killed him on July 3rd? I think the things were coming to a head in their relationship due to all the financial disagreements........this was not brought up because there was no real evidence that they had had it out but it could have happened........after all, Melody's texts made it seem like there was going to be a confrontation.
Melody was mad at anything and everything that Gary done just because she HATED him so much.
My speculation is that Melody tried to poison him by serving him meals and he acknowledged that in one of his videos and that's why he felt so crappy for a while there because she was either using antifreeze or a poison or something I've watched enough murder shows to know that it takes a toll on your body and I believe she tried to poison him first and that didn't work and she just lost it Melody is guilty and had she not burned his body they could have done some tests to see if there were a substances in his blood but she tried to cover her tracks and all she had to do was hold a gun to his head and tell him to go to the top of the hill and she shot him and rolled him down into the burn pit and no lifting required
Don't be fooled, Melody's attorney's is not stupid and has told her to show emotions while Amanda testimony. Melody is sick and twisted
Melody is not an actress. That was true crying not fake. I believe Melody was involved but Scott's the one that killed him and put him in burn pile
@@EvelynSantos2222lol no, she wanted that 2 million she was going to inherit. She is a murderer.

FYI, southern families frequently 'sweep tragedies under the rug' as if they are no big deal. It's a trait of the south.
I think Gary spoiled his children but that's not a sin, but well off people spoil there children it's seems to me that she (melody) didn't like that just curious 3 out 4 children didn't speak to melody imo whoever is charged I hope it's the right person❤🙏🏻🌷

Quit stereotyping everybody who was born and raised in the south with a blanket statement such as that. My family NEVER swept issues under the rug. South Carolina chiming in.
@Sealust50 My husband sweeps everything under the carpet, and he's NOT from the South. Js.
Dear people, Scott was not at home when this murder occurred. Just follow Melody’s phone communications on both her regular phone and her burner phone on Tuesday July 3. Prosecution was able to narrow down murder time to about 10pm. Most important thing was the CPAP machine which Gary has to absolutely use for his sleep to be able to breathe throughout the night. CPAP Machine records usage time and hours etc. Gary NEVER went to bed that night of July 3. CPAP machine was NEVER USED. The last night CPAP was used was the previous night July 2nd and was switched off on the morning of July 3rd at 7.48 AM. Scott only went home at 11.34PM on July 3rd after Melody called him at 10.52pm to come home and check the horses. At 11.34pm, if Gary had not been murdered. He would have already been in bed with his CPAP. I have a strong feeling that Melody only got Scott to go back home to make sure there was another person on the property for reasonable doubt in case she got caught. At this point, Melody had already told Rusty that Gary was on the burn pile.
Tiah, I completely agree with you, NO doubt at all!!
Melody is cunning, sneaky and dangerous, she's TRYING to "SET UP" or "FRAME" Scott, BAD MOTHER!!
There is an overwhelming evidence of Melody's motive, means, and opportunity to commit this crime. On the 3rd of July late at night Melody used their Kubota RTV and ropes to move Gary's body from his basement office, where he was killed by her with the stolen gun from Martha, through the french door, which was on a ground level, toward the fire pit. She made the fire and used the citronella infused torch fuel for the increased burning temperature and cover-up of the smell. She called Scott at 10:55 pm demanding his coming home to get the loose horses back into the stall. Scott arrived at 11:35 pm and observed all the horses in their stalls and fire burning in the fire pit. At that point Scott didn't know that he was lied to and framed by his own mother, who wanted to get rid of her husband and her son who lived on the farm. Her main motive was money and power, lust and new life with her lover who had already bought the wedding rings for them.
Perfectly said!!!
Why didn't scott go see if fire in burn pile was ok? Why didn't he go the next day on the 4th? He prob thought his dad was home burning something? Scott went to his mom's room that night when he got home but didn't wonder where his dad was and what was burning in fire pit?? Very suspicious. Also wouldn't let his mom call 911 he panicked and told her he would have to call. When he walked over to burn pile he knew right away it was a human and grabbed the skull? Very strange things coming from Scott. I think Melody know's that scott did it and she didn't call police that night. She called Rusty. And told him, will he's in the burn pile ya know.....
@ Scott wasn’t home when the fire was started. That was proven with phone/gps records. Melody was blowing his phone up to come home & get the horses. Fire was already going, he figured his Dad started it and that was that, nothing suspicious there. But Melody calling her lover at like 2:30 in the morning telling him “Gary’s in the burn pile” is a mic drop. Scott wouldn’t gain financially by killing Dad, he would be better off killing his Mom who was pissed her husband was paying for Scott’s phone/cable/insurance bills but would cut her cc off when she went to Walmart. Scott is a loser, no doubt about that, but he took care of the “farm” and only gained about $600/monthly monetarily from Dad. Not to mention Amanda benefited from Melody’s finances, when Gary cut her off, poor Amanda couldn’t get her hair done or her teeth fixed. Melody pinned her kids against each other and their father, only to benefit herself. Again, “GARYS ON THE BURN PILE” and Rusty replying “DONT TELL ME ANOTHER WORD!”
@@EvelynSantos2222, you and your thoughts are crazy!! Scott was in the military. He knew what human remains look like when they are burned. At least, use your common sense. Ohhh, I just realized you don't have common sense either. Scott didn't have to go and check anything. He knew his father was going to burned some stuff. He was called with lies that the horses were out. He was probably mad that he rushed home for nothing. The evil mom is the killer!!

Yes the kids would be next in line to receive Scott’s inheritance if the Mom is incarcerated. Scott also needed money. I believe Scott ask him for money and dad said no. Amanda said they would have to ask there dad for money he would never just hand it over to them.
And Scott quit feeding the animals. I think he was mad at Gary

@@pennytownsend 💯
Exactly!!
I've commented the same exact thing.
No. Dad LOVED Melody and ALWAYS sided with her over the kids. If Melody died, they wouldn't go after dad - LE would have investigated THE KIDS as they should have done here. They were angry with MOM because she wanted loans paid back. Kids used the affairs as motive. What motive?? If mom gets the money they don't benefit. Mom out of the picture they DO. Gary was also starting to cut them all off. Lots of fights, lots of motive. You also have a son CONSTANTLY STEALING, going around saying he owned the place. Melody didn't steal anything, lived as she wanted and the man was terminal. It makes no sense after 35 years to off him when she would soon inherit everything. Those kids knew they wouldn't outsmart dad the lawyer or be able to blame dad. Mom alive but in prison = they get the money and they win. Dad alive and mom dead = those boys are going to prison.
What an evil woman the murderer is. Why can't people just get divorced. Look @ all the pain she has caused her children.
She's an agent of the devil so she don't care about the children. They only care about their fake outer image and to win at all costs.
They usually overplay their hand and self-destruct.
It's all up to the jury.
The prosecution says Melody shot Gary in the basement.
The defense says the blood droplets could have been from when Gary was sick and had coughed up blood or when he was bitten by a dog.
Think about it: think. Maybe the pain was caused long ago starting with Garys wandering eye?
@@ohioh111b111y maybe but he remained dedicated to his family. Two wrongs definitely don't make a right. If Melody couldn't rebuild trust in her marriage because of "his wandering eyes", then she should have put her children first and separated from him. She had options that did not include eliminating her children's father.
@angelaswan7614 I agree that she didn't have to kill Gary, but she really hated him, and that was all that she could think of.
Melody was so upset about the upcoming beach trip. She said she was taking measures to put a stop to the madness. She took measures, for sure.
Exactly!!!
She sure did lisa.
She's a spiteful witch who hated it when her hubby spent money on their kids - she thought it should all come to her. A truly horrible mother, who robbed her children and grandchildren of their loving Pa/Grandpa - and then tried to frame her innocent son for the murder she committed. She'd have happily seen Scott go to prison for her. She's pure evil.
What kind of woman invites her lover to her daughter's big society wedding, then practically makes out with him in front of her husband, their adult kids, and assorted wedding guests? She deliberately humiliated her poor husband with that disgusting behaviour, and upset her kids (could have ruined her daughter's big day too - she obviously didn't give a damn). That alone showed what a vile wife she was to Gary, and mother she was to their kids.
He launched divorce proceedings against her about 8 years before he died, in response to one of her earlier affairs. But sadly he relented and didn't see it through. I'm amazed he didn't ditch her after the wedding scandal! If only he had known she was capable of killing him, and got out, he would be alive today. Very sad.
The mother is one-hundred percent guilty in my opinion! Scott would want her dead not his father, whom he loved. With the father dead, the mother with Rusty, would take all the money and perhaps, not give the kids anything and keep it all for herself.
what a nonsense; she would take all the money 🤣The money would be divided by Court order. The wife gets always 50/50 after divorce especially being married for 38 years and raising 4 kids. In the murder case Scott would be the "winner" because throwing his mother under the buss all the kids would have to split everything equally, mother excluded and Melody's part was the biggest, legally! Scott is the killer!

@ it’s a evil viscous act of a selfish and desperate woman. 😈. But I will lift Gary and his children up in prayer. 🙏🏻 🙌🏼 and pray their hearts are still in knowing that lord is with them. And will forever be. No matter what happens with any of this court stuff. ☮️💜
Melody was invited on that beach vacation with her granddaughters, I can't imagine not going.
@@didibolter9362 I know she just must be at her core a miserable evil woman. I can understand you could be unhappy about it and still go on the trip. For her kids and grandkids. It’s already booked. Everybody’s ready to go.
@@LyndseeM Yep, Gary asked Melody to come with them and make it a family vacation, but she's such a miserable, controlling abuser she refused, and instead sulked because her wealthy husband dared spend his hard earned cash on a nice beach trip for their family members.
Melody wanted all his money to be spent on her! Meanwhile she was sneaking off to sleep with her lover Rusty every chance she got. If only Gary had recognised what a nasty, toxic woman she is and divorced her, he would be alive today.
Gary wasnt in no affair
100% Melody killed Gary. Her lover, Rusty, even said that Melody told him on the 3rd that Gary is on the burn pile and nobody noticed he is missing yet. Slam dunk.
It's "HE" is in the burn pile, which equates to the fact that she and Rusty had been discussing Melody's issues with Gary shortly prior to saying that.
@@Sealust50 Yes, he = Gary
Absolutely jenni!
Melody murdered her husband. Jurors, please render a unanimous guilty verdict.
Yes i really hope so too.. she's so guilty
Fake tears from the mother . She is guilty as sin..
Agreed!!!
She can help move a baby grand piano but she can’t move Gary with a tractor? Come on!
aint pianos on wheels?
@@Youaintdownhome they had removed the legs but had it on a roller. The piano weighed about 400 lbs and two people moving the piano makes it 200 lbs each. Gary was 300 lbs. Melody helped balance the piano not carry it.
@@creatibethwhen there's a will, there's a way. She had means
Melody shot Gary in the basement. Gary ran upstairs and outside and collapsed. Melody used one of the tractors to put Gary on the burn pile. Melody is very evil
How do you know did you witness her do that
NOT necessary...why there? HE WAS AT THE BURNPILE..HE FELL FORWARD... SIMPLE
@@LynetteKelly-xn8hiDid you witness that she didn't?
There is no blood from Gary anywhere unless I missed something. The few blood droplets they found were Melody’s. Where is Gary’s blood? You don’t get shot in the chest/ribs without bleeding. This case is just baffling to me. He had to have been shot while standing near the fire. It’s either that or he fell accidentally or was pushed into the fire and then shot. Bullet didn’t penetrate the rib bones. Could have been planted but I doubt it.
@@rosemariepennella6149 you have a wild imagination
Amanda was a terrible witness. Melody's 3 other children never said a bad word about Amanda but Amanda said some horrible things about them. She is just like her mother
Absolutely agree! What a horrible thing to do to your siblings!!!
Tissue wasn’t even wet, I seen zero tears!
Her mother has done that also, she is just like her mother. While I felt sorry for her, I think that she is just doing what her mother has done for a long time. Trashing one child to another, pitting them against each other? Sounds to me like that is what Melody did.
And HER HAND WAS OUT TOO! She threw her siblings under the bus for wanting $$ but her own text with her Mom said “Your Dad cut my card off so I can’t pay for your hair appointment” and the same for her dental procedure..
Right. I couldn’t believe he said she was the most reliable. Although, I usually do have a different opinion than he does on things.
Prayers for this jury😢
Scott has a solid alibi. He was the only one who started actually looking for his Dad when told he was missing. He is the one who responded to the body in a way that protected anyone else from seeing his Dad like that. There's no way someone could frame Melody in the way the evidence stacked up. That is a lot of planning, with, for example, Martha Jane's gun missing- a 38 nobody outside of her circle knew about, the blood drops, the wet clothes, the tractor, the wallet, the bullet and so on. That was all error in the actual act of planning the murder and carrying it out
HE DELETED THE TRAIL CAM FOOTAGE. IF he believed mom had done it... he'd have made sure that footage got to the cops. Deleted it instead WHILE dad was being looked for! You would be reviewing that footage! Not deleting it!
@@wandarose9285bs
Exactly @@wandarose9285
If she is found guilty I can't believe it
@@wandarose9285 Nah, that's a nothing bit of non-evidence the defence are trying to make something of. He was likely in the habit of deleting, as am I, it doesn't mean a thing.
Scott hasn't been charged with anything at all, because not only does he have a rock solid alibi, there's ZERO evidence against him. His evil mother Melody murdered his father. Hopefully this jury is smart enough to see her obvious guilt!
Melody makes Donna Adelson look like the sweetest grandma!😮
She's a cold fish She's definitely guilty
No, she wanted affection but had a 300 pound husband.
@@CC-xn5xi lol she was getting PLENTY of affection from everyone EXCEPT her husband, by her own choice, regardless of his weight.
@@CC-xn5xiGary was absolutely attractive, ANY normal woman would think so!
I agree Laura.
@@CC-xn5xiShe HATED Gary, she wouldn't even let Gary touch her.
I completely understand why Scott screamed and said what he said! He was freaked out. Who wouldn’t be
scott was running the show and failed a poly
@ he wasn’t running any thing but his mouth
and he is a vetern and probably got triggered PTSD his sister is soooo narrow minded to not think of that
@@13hickory I agree with that PTSD and his situation altogether set's my alarm bell's off.. but what sister do u mean? II also got weird vibes from Chris, but mostly Scott. Just my theory, but ive had a few, like on the Farris wheel I am on! I pray for the jury. I think Amanda was honest, 3 against 1 (for siblings) does not automatically discredit the 1 alone, imo
@@omarkaroush3723 Scott is a narcissist. He immediately said the gun was missing and acted suspicious by saying over and over, i’ve seen burning bodies …this appeared to his way of convincing his sisters, brother and the law enforcement people he had nothing to do with his dad’s death. When you ramble and ramble maybe it’s because you’re trying to cover up something. Keep in mind he deleted film footage.,
The mum has prepared the daughter well by feeding her her version of the murder.
Agree 💯💯💯
Mother did it….
Totally agree! The mother is guilty and so very evil!!👿👺☠️🤥
Agree 100%‼️
Scott did it
Oh yes, she is guilty!
So Melody could go free? That is ridiculous
Downright SICKENING!!
If you have doubts.....let her free.
I don't have any doubts.
I have doubts!!!!
The time lines on the technology, phones, cameras, cars, conversations should put answers to Who was where, when etc
And that's why she's guilty!!
@@carolinas9240💯
@@carolinas9240EXACTLY!
Melody did it. Scott wasn’t there, she was. Scott was given money, she was cut off because she was a cheater. Scott was screaming to Amanda that he knows what burned bodies look like is because Amanda was in shock!
I am the same way, when I hear news I panic and go all to pieces.
These Farris children and grandchildren have been through HELL!
And let’s not forget, the granddaughter testified that Melody never told her no to sleeping over. And why would she tell her no when the granddaughter lived out of town? Because she had serious plans that night. And wasn’t that the night she called Scott to come home bc the horses were out and when he got there, they were not out. She’s trying to frame him! What a pathetic “mother”
I’d go to hell and back for my children no matter what!
I agree cindy!
I don't think the jury will be able to reach a verdict.
Melody murdered her husband, she was the only one who gained anything or least she thought she did, off to prison Melody you deserve to live there.
I agree with you Mr.Betc.
I found all of the children emotional during their testimony. 💔
I was feeling for 3 of them, but Amanda came across like she cried us a (big) river. 😮
@@wolke1955EXACTLY, and that river was as dry as a bone out in the desert of California!
I agree, that the most critical part is when Rusty said to Melody..’ didn’t you tell me that Gary was on the burn pile’ 😮
Innocent until proven guilty!!! Melody and all her children have cried during this trial. I don't believe the prosecutors proved this case. Good luck to the jury trying to reach a verdict. I think this is a tough one.
NOT tough at all, very easy, mother killed father!
My young mom watched the orig Perry Mason on B&W TV, when I was a tot. Now - I'm enthralled with a few of these mystery cases!
My family also watched Perry Mason on a black and white tv when my brother and I were little kids.
MELODY AND RUSTY DID IT😮 CUZ HE SURE KNEW MORE THAN HE IS SAYING AND IS WAITING ON GARY'S MONEY
Oh for sure! Rusty done EVERYTHING that she told him to do, he's her little puppet!
What is so hard to believe about a father taking care of his children with monetary support. A child living with parents or on their property? A mother alienating her other children by making one the favorite? Happens all over this country.
Another Vallow/Daybell case- Sex, Money, and Power that has nothing to do with these kids.
EXACTLY perciemcqueen5040
Could anyone PLEASE explain WHY Melody and sometimes her defense do not stand when the jury enters??? Thank You
She said she had bad back and knee, acting like she could never move Gary to burn pile, but she could move that 400 pound piano. She did hop up quickly for every break after sitting an hour with no problem, especially when her lover was in court 😂
The Judge said at the beginning of the trial that the defense side was not required to stand.
@@Betts711She is such a comedian! Maybe in prison, she'll seek her true profession. 😂😅😂
@@susanslaughter2937How odd!
@@Betts711 Thank you
Melody is crying because she’s seeing the hurt in her favourite daughter
She was devastated when Scott was testifying. I thought she felt sorry for him even though he was so nasty, entitled, disrespectful and throwing her under the bus.
The mother always has her hand in front of her mouth 🤔
She looks like the grinch with that mouth of hers 😂
The grinch
I think that she is a Freemason, Eastern Star, and that is a Masonic hand sign.
I don't think she has teeth
I read somewhere (don't know if it is true), that she had botox in her upper lip and it caused swelling above her lip.
Disagree completely about the assessment of Scott. I have a son who was in Iraq and saw some horrific things. People who have been traumatized like that don't always respond the way WE think we would or should.
Did he get hit over the head or something else that the fire prevented from certainty And
Who started the fire & when did the fire get started and Who started the fire ???
Melody did it.
Yes, she is guilty!
Scott is so obviously guilty
Melody is so obviously guilty!
Scott is guilty!
16:17 "Oh, you're on a worldwide livestream discussing very serious topics?? Leme just cut right thru here..." BANG CLANK CRASH.
I absolutely love that this cat clearly believes that it's his / her house, and the human is just living in it. I also love the human for allowing the cat to believe that lol. Idk who she is, but I'm already a big fan.
To see this old wicked woman fake sadness when Amanda describes what her brother Scott told her ,about the body in the burn pile is sickening. Like she didn’t do that!! Melody aka Grinch is a cold sick monster!!
I absolutely agree Ahlly144.
A no brainer - Melody did it ! The children had zero to gain by his death.
EXACTLY caterinascarcella!
😂😂😂she did it all for $$$$$$
YES, she DID!
Is it beyond reasonal doubt? I dont know ???
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
No I don’t think so. Didn’t her data show she was the only one there?
I'm sorry but I do not believe her. Voice changed while speaking to the prosecutor. Condolence to the family but someone is lying.
Still confused about the doctor's testimony yesterday. The only way Gary's situation was not a homicide is if he shot himself in the basement and then decided to go and nap in the burn pile.
I agree tiah.
Yeah, that was super infuriating.
If she did it I don’t think she did it alone …
Rusty!
I think there will be a mistrial! I believe melody is guilty!
I thought she did it but after the testimony of so many in the family and the fact that she couldn’t possibly move a dead weight 300lb man on her own, I’m at the point of Scott killed him. There’s just not enough convincing evidence that she’s 100% guilty.
Um.. u must have missed where she helped move a 400-500 pound piano! Did u see all the straps, tarps & things to move other things in that place? She had a tractor like vehicle with blood on it.
The basement was a walkout. The tractor was not parked in its designated spot which was suspicious. I’m appproaching my 50’s and am 5’4 and 125lbs.. I’m 100% confident I could handle 300lbs of deadweight if I needed to…
I’m in agreement with others that she shot him while he was working on the fire pit, and evidence inside was planted. Unfortunately I think defense did a good job of creating sufficient doubt, and she just may walk free.
First 3 children’s testimonies credible. Amanda a whining born again who thinks she is better than the other 3. Only cried when defense questioned her. Not when prosecutor did. Holier than thou and living in denial. Amanda bad actress 😮
Melody is the guilty one!
Scott is the guilty one
I agree with you Rosemary! I have NO doubt whatsoever!
Amanda is her mother’s side kick covering for Melody !!👎
Correct Madelyn!
Melody is guilty. She wanted to stay in that house with Rusty. Thats why Gary needed to go!
ABSOLUTELY 💯 % lizzierose007!
Scott has airtight alibi. Stop sensationalizing. It is not all over the place.
Scott is innocent, as in NOT the KILLER, but, melody is GUILTY, as in the KILLER !
I have ZERO doubt Melody killed him, plenty of reasons and evidence that she did it. However, I don't think the things happened at the house. I think Gary started the fire and Melody went there shot him and pushed him into the fire.
She planned this, that's why she told the grandkids NOT to go that night. So why go thru the trouble of killing him in the house, then drag him out of the house and dump him into the fire?? That's why they cannot figured out how she can possibly moved the man into the fire. She planned it and wanted to do it asap. Her boyfriend knows she did it too!! No doubt about that!!
I agree with you BLUEEYESLIKETHEOCEAN!
Right? I’ve been saying this to my fiancé for days now.
@5:46 to 6:35. You have no idea how much I loved hearing her spell it out like that - spewing the TRUTH instead of putting up FRONTS in order to look good to everybody else
One of the statements she made to RUSTY is the clincher for me. Instead of telling him "Gary" is in the burn pile, instead she said "he's" in the burn pile - as in "the existing obstacle between us getting married" is in the burn pile, and now all the money is coming to me (us).
EXACTLY Sealust50
Hello Vinnie. Following case closely.
What a mess!
Was there doors leading out of the basement to the outdoors? If so… IMO Melody could haves used the Kaboda and tractor 🚜 and moved Gary to the burn pile. Poor Gary worked his butt off, provided for all the family all those years and that’s the thanks he gets. May Gary RIP.
Yes, doors in basement were ground level, not below.
I agree with you valerie.
I don’t think she moved him. I think she lured Gary out to the burn pile saying that there was some emergency and that she needed help because Scott was gone. He then took the vehicle and drove there and when she was done killing him then she drove it back.
I absolutely love Phil! Hadn’t seen him around for a bit and suddenly he’s here, on Nancy Grace and another show. Keep on keeping on! 💕
I’m really beginning to think “reasonable doubt” might play out here. ???????
Wow! Melody really does have one empathetic bone in her body and it’s for Amanda only! She cried seeing her favorite hurting. Those tears I believe were not for Gary.
Exactly ❤
Why is the "light up the room" person always killed? Come on. Someone always lies
This daughter is a little strange.😢I hope they find the truth in Gary's demise.RIP😢 justice ⚖️
Not guilty!
If you watched all the testimony and honest you know she did it
Melody is so obviously phony, I only hope the jury sees through her. She had no tears for her other children. Sad....
Phony as they come! Actress!
one thing is certain all the kids look like mum 😊
A mom and a wife who cannot stay put, having extra marital affairs, brings him at her daughter’s wedding….is despicable!
"It’s going to be hard for the jury" No, I don’t think so.
SCOTT! That f’r did it. He even deleted the trail cams.
It shows what he deleted, they were able to retrieve them. He deleted animal shots. He has a solid alibi. He was the only one who started actually looking for his Dad when told he was missing. He is the one who responded to the body in a way that protected anyone else from seeing his Dad like that. There's no way someone could frame Melody in the way the evidence stacked up. That is a lot of planning with Martha Jane's gun missing, the blood drops, the wet clothes, the tractor, the wallet, and so on. That was all error in the actual act of planning the murder
Having heard everything Amanda had to say. There were, many, many contradictions, especially when describing the type of parents her mum & dad were. And that's just for starters. Ultimately, she's presenting 'her truth' based on the person she has become since finding God but, what was needed was the testimony of her old self not the new updated version.
If she divorced him instead of killing him, she would have been receiving spousal support plus half of the community assets. She’d have the freedom to do whatever.
No. Georgia is not a no fault State. With a proven affair w Rusty, she would have gotten nothing/way less. Life insurance in case of an accident was 4.5million all paid to Melody.
@ unlike California, we’re a no fault state.
There ARE many different scenarios that are possibilities here...suspicions are NOT proof..it's likely that the mother did it but it's really supposition
I believe that melody murdered Gary.
Scott ? Your reaching
