Bravo....Someone who GETS it. I wonder if the word marriage was eliminated from the english language and replaced with the phrase "legally binding financial contract between two people and the government" if 'spring weddings' would disappear.

[@Youtubereplies]

Agreed. Marriage is not taken at its truth. Rather, as a formal public ascertain that is subject to being revoked or defiled when it strains one or both of the participants. Why is it that divorce doesn’t serve as an equal option to a viable end in a disingenuous union? Murder more plausible?

[@bunnymad5049]

Yes. Always get to know how your partner handles finances. I almost married someone when I was very young who wrote bad cheques, stole from his parents etc. Came to my senses and married the best man I've ever known. We're a full-on, honest team. People think they can love without trust and think it's a reason to marry. My opinion is that there is no real love without trust. Trust comes first. If you can't 100% trust them ... just don't.

Honestly, I have 2 young kids... a girl and a boy.. and seeing how much naive people can become fixated on somebody (including my younger self to some degree) and knowing how many manipulative and even psychopathic individuals are out there, it makes me want to have some kind of social structure around that prevents them from engaging in conventional dating culture at a young age. We see how dysfunctional mainstream dating has become too. When young, it's hard not to be naive... one should overcome their naivete before engaging with finding love. That's not to say they should be jaded, but just prepared and some wisdom.

This reminds me of the Lori and Mark Hacking case, in which the husband Mark lied to his wife about being in college and getting accepted into medical school, then murdered her rather than admit his deception. Hacking was also a seemingly friendly guy who was generally well-liked and active in his church, and was clumsy as hell about covering up the murder. And credit to the Salt Lake City PD: it took then a few weeks, rather than a few years to get a warrant for his arrest. They saw through his "my wife was kidnapped" story within hours of hearing it.

[@goldiebelle]

Yes!!!! Me too!!! All cases like this are so sad and awful. No accountability whatsoever. I can't even begin to understand how they come to the conclusion that murder is the best possible answer.

I’d give anything for a $1500 mortgage, that’s less than I paid for rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in 2010 when you said they were paying that much for their mortgage. The cost of housing in Seattle is becoming brutal. Sorry, I got sidetracked by the mortgage cost. I have noticed a trend in one spouse killing the other recently. Maybe it’s the content that I am viewing, but I don’t understand why people aren’t just getting divorced? Is it about insurance? I don’t get it. I’ll never understand how someone can hurt or kill another person. Especially someone you claim to have loved.

The first wife was very much the victim. I can imagine she would like her story to be a warning to all couples that don't take a backseat in the serious matters of being a couple. Each person needs to be on the very same page with finances, Childs, house chores, savings, how holidays are going to be spent, and tons more. One of the couple needs to nip things in the bud the moment things are not shared between the couple. It doesn't have to end up with murder....or divorce.

Ah! I have been wanting to hear you speak about this one for years. This did not disappoint. Your analysis of this feels like it articulates so many of the thoughts I felt in my gut when it first happened (just down the block from my family). This story haunted me for a while, felt so helpless that he seemed to just get off scot free. What you describe about his fear of embarrassment battling against his low conscientiousness and the ultimate shame it gave rise to within him that made him feel he had no choice but to murder his wife... So spot on, I believe. And the evidently almost-childlike trust his wife apparently had in him, it's so heartbreaking. This is such a tragic and pitiful story. Thanks for a great analysis.

Minnehaha is a Native American woman documented in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1855 epic poem The Song of Hiawatha. She is the lover of the titular protagonist Hiawatha and comes to a tragic end. The name, often said to mean "laughing water", literally translates to "waterfall" or "rapid water" in Dakota.

I have heard a lot of stories of people folding under the pressure of debt. Heck, there is even a classic book where that is a theme: Madame Bovary (amazing book).

That short on the signs of a celebrity grandiose narcissist was really interesting and helpful.

[@azulgaia7782]

What makes someone lie like this? How do you prevent it in children? I think i've learned it's a combination of nature/nurture and that we are born with temperment and this can lead to feelings of shame and lying to cover the shame. I'm watching my nephew who has seemed anxious since birth, and attempts to manipulate others to keep in control. He refuses to talk about negative feelings and will absolutely deny any bad actions. But, he will follow the pre-set rules, to a point, especially if it gets him something he wants. These days he says he's not interested, or points out something good he has already done, attempting to talk you out of getting him to do something he is afraid of failing at. I really don't think anyone is shaming him and the right words are said to try and respect his worries. Except for asking him to name his feelings and encouraging insight. Maybe I'm expecting too much from an 8 year old. But, his younger brother of 5 can easily say how he feels without self-judgment. It's sad to see a kid so uncomfortable with himself. Thanks for listening.

Did he place her between himself and the alleged threat (which really wasn’t there, I know)?

He had her go ahead of him down the stairs. He was behind her with the gun. What man with a gun goes that???

This is indeed a case that shouldn't have taken years to prosecute. The initial investigation was quite sloppy. Thank you Dr Grande

They always make up excuses saying black men broke in the house to rob them to cover up murder of their wives to cover up financial problems they're having in the marriage

[@jimcronin2043]

The whole story about seeking shelter in the garage is bogus. First, if armed a husband will send the wife deeper into the house (such as locking herself in a bedroom or bathroom or possibly to a phone extension); and second, if deciding to go downstairs toward the source of the threat for some reason he would undoubtedly lead the way. In such a threatened situation (if true) the husband doesn't want the wife anywhere close to him until he has dealt with whatever is happening.

lol you are funny

His wife being in front if him didn't make any sense. A dog wouldn't even want you in front of them.
