Detective Realizes The Victim Is Actually The Killer

In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Samantha Wohlford.
Note for KZbin's review team, here is the context of the video: this is an educational documentary and authoritative news piece based on actual police documents and case files. Our team of psychology professionals analyze the interrogation footage from an educational perspective with a focus on psychology, red flags, and prevention. Our goal is to educate the public, inform our audience, and raise awareness.

They need a warrant to get your phone.its easy to say that's sloppy but if everything else is tight they'll never be seeing it(clearly in this case it wasn't though lol) And obviously never offer anything that would incriminate yourself. But its not always as huge of a thing as it seems.The real mistake was them not getting rid of the dudes phone immediately.she should not have even had to text them that in the first place.it's more like the people she hired were incompetent. I would have destroyed his phone and left it there at the scene lolololol.

[@youtubecritic4360]

That's what made her suspect #1. When I was younger 3 men broke into my parents home and our roommate was stabbed in the head. My older brother was in a youth treatment place and would come home before school at around 5:30-6am. When our roommate heard the knock at the door he figured it was my brother and opened the door. At that point I was sleeping on the living room floor. I had a guy point a gun at me and said don't get up while the other two stabbed our roommate. At that point my dogs came running downstairs which spooked the guys as they took off running. My dogs chased them out the door but I suspect they jumped in a waiting car. I was so scared in the moment (I was 13) I could see our roommate in a puddle of blood. (He was my parents friend in his 30s). I heard him ask me for help but I didn't get up right away I wanted to make sure they were gone so I waited 3 min maybe but it felt like a year. I ran up to my parents room and said some guys broke in and steave was in a puddle of blood and my dogs were gone. The only details of the guys I seen was #1 they all had ski masks on. #2. I heard them say "where where where" #3. One had a gun pointed at me. I couldn't tell if it was semi auto or a revolver I seen the barrel and a black glove on his hand. That's all I knew or seen. The cops drilled me and accused me or knowing these people. He kept saying we sold drugs out of the house which was false. We did live in a middle class neighborhood and the home next to us was a dealers house. Fortunately our roommate lived. He had to get 9 staples in his head, and had multiple stab wounds in his stomach and chest. Our dogs were later found at a city pound. And the 3 that broke in were never caught. But they thought they knew who the people were due to them bragging about it to a ci. Since they had masks neither of us could pick the guys in a photo line up. And when they played their voices I couldn't be sure which it was and I didn't want someone who was innocent to get in trouble so I didn't pick anyone. Anyways this is 100% truth. Now you can compare a innocent person dealing with a home invasion vs this girls.

Lying on the floor is a dead giveaway. So is putting head or face on the table or falling asleep. An innocent person would act as though everything in the room was electrified and be very alarmed to be confined there. They would not embrace the room like that and get so physically intimate with it and so comfortable. That guilty people do so is a tell that they feel they belong there.

probably had the story made up in her head but had to move quickly when she found out her mom was sending her aunt.

[@silvsevie]

the funny part is when she was describing them cutting the shirt from the top down, instead of starting down going up, I thought it was suspicious, I just thought she actually did it herself and never took into account how a second person would do it. and not that she didn't even bother to do it. why it's sus: it's easier to cut your shirt yourself from the top going down to apply the force of the blade opposite to you and against the fabric, but to cut it on another person is easier to start from the bottom to apply the force of the blade towards you and against the fabric with an extended arm, if you cut from the top you have to put extra strength because you have to contort your wrist.

I just don’t remember any of the sleep things that I did. My family told me! It got so bad that my daughter would sleep in the living room to make sure I didn’t leave and sleep drive or cook!!!( both very dangerous) Finally,I was taken off of it because it did make me do things that I didn’t remember while I was sleeping, but never upon waking up! A little groggy yes, but I do remember things upon waking up! I have no idea of where I drove to or what I did, but I do know that twice I drove, only because my family told me.

Yeah, especially with the hair cutting part. She says a group of guys break into her home, pistol whip her husband, strip her, and then say something poetic like "here, as a wife you should have a piece of your husband" before cutting off a few locks of hair. That sounds like something a teenage girl would write in her fan fiction. I'm not saying no man would ever, ever say that because drugs make anything possible, but that doesn't sound like something a guy would do in the middle of beating a husband in front of his wife. They allegedly wanted money from HIM, but this gesture was entirely to intimidate HER in a particularly feminine and dramatic way. A violent male would be more likely to instead threaten to break fingers or stab someone to get the husband to cooperate, assuming they weren't willing to actually torture her in front of him. She didn't realize that in her made-up narrative she was a means to an end, not the primary target. She really seemed to think that'd help sell her story but it further broke any suspension of disbelief I might have had.
