Whatever happened at home, was and stayed between them. Clearly, no one really knew what was going on. They would have found financial issues, cheating etc.. No policy or Life insurance really came into it. I think they fought in the car - aggressively, her for her life. They ended up in the ditch from the struggle, she got out of the car and ran into the tall grass - he followed but slammed his car door (she left hers open). He finished the job and beat her badly when he caught up. The car drove by - saw the opened passenger door but no one was around. When he came back to the car, he came to his "senses" and scrambled to think of how to cover it - saw the pipe in the trunk - is a windshield repair guy, thought he'd cover it up that way because that comes most natural- and he did a terrible job because he was scrambling.

I once had a piece of metal kicked up by a truck that hit my windshield. It happened so fast I couldn’t react at all! His story is so unbelievable. (BTW, the metal hit the strut on the left side of the windshield, so I wasn’t killed - it was very scary and I had PTSD for a long time afterwards).

I would think that if Barbra was alive, she would be mad at her family. How could they look at all the evidence PROVING that he did it, but still support him? Disgusting. I could never.

I think she knew they wouldn't believe her and that's why she never told them who he really was. I've been with someone just like that and no one would've believed me if I told them how he was to me. He even told me once, go ahead and tell them and they'll laugh at you. I feel so bad for her 😔

[@robertaglass]

Clearly you guys did not listen to Todd Kendhammer's testimony because if you did you would have learned that Todd & Barb took long walks together every night and frequently got ice cream together. Couples that go out to ice cream do not murder one another! Ice cream makes you happy - not murderous! Haha! Jk. Guy is guilty as hell. You guys did an awesome job covering this case and trial and showed incredible restraint not mentioning that Todd Kendhammer was the dumbest defendant. The Judge said at the sentancing that Todd seemed obsessed with appearances and what others thought of him. He referenced a letter that they did fight but always in private. It makes sense that he would lie and try to stage an accident to cover up the murder of his wife- it was his custom to hide & cover up anything that made him look imperfect or bad. The family actually attacked the prosecutor! The whole family (save for the cousin who gave that beautiful speech at the sentancing- addressing "Barbara's murderer") seems to live in denial.

[@deathberryblast]

I think the wife (victim) yanked the steering wheel during the attack to cause the car to veer off the road. Obviously she knew he was killing her and probably going somewhere to dispose of her body. So as a last ditch effort to get him caught she yanked the wheel of the car.

[@stephaniemacdonald7979]

Great podcast! I really enjoy our style of presentation of each case. I just happened to watch this trial. I think Todd was a controlling personality and always had to be right. The last real estate transaction was sketchy with old unpaid bills. Barbara handled the bill paying and I think that while they didn't flip these homes to make a lot of money, I think this last house was a disaster and she called him on it. He lost control after being called out and killed her somewhere along the route they took that morning. He staged the scene and sought to cover up from that point.

Vaguely related but one time I was driving and a like metal ball slightly bigger than a gold ball crashed into my windshield after bouncing off the road. Fell off the windshield but broke a ton of the glass. I was 17 and the next day my dad found the ball near the side of the highway where I told him it was so I think the insurance covered it then. Anyways that scared the shit out of me and Todd totally did it.

What is a gold ball and how large is it?

[@jacquelinedeblue5231]

Silly detail, and just one of the many inconsistencies I guess, but he tells the cops that the ride to the co-worker's to deliver the windshield was a pleasant one and that "they were not arguing that day"...

[@JaKrish]

She was brought alive to the hospital, though. So he beat her up badly first. I feel like he did it the night before. Probably because she didn’t respond with as much feeling to a text he sent. He had all night to think of a way he could explain her injuries, and this was the best he could come up with. He was banking on the it being such an obvious accident, he didn’t think the police would even bother following up with the broken windshield guy. What he should have done was put her in the seat unseatbelted, then purposely crashed their car into something. It’s the only way he could have really explained her injuries. Especially if he got badly injured too.

[@awright119021]

I believe he beat her in the car, likely slamming her head into something which broke her nose. He freaked out after hurting her so bad and came up with the ridiculous idea to stage it. Once there he pulled her in the ditch when a car was coming by, holding his hand firmly over her mouth causing the bruising inside her mouth. Then he strangled her and continued staging the scene thinking she was completely dead. Makes sense to me.

They should have put a public plea out for the driver of the truck that had the pipes on it. Freak accidents do happen. Think of the Bud case where teens threw bricks from an overpass and one went through the windshield of the Bud's car and messed up the wife. I'm sorry but I can't think of the first names. A very sad case. But that kind of thing 'could' happen. I don't think it did in this case.

[@gusargoan]

It happened to my cousin, while he was driving a semi. Brick hit him and messed up his night vision, so he could no longer drive for a living.

[@awright119021]

It was impossible for this to happen the way he said. I do believe they looked all over for video evidence of the "truck" Todd made up.

[@sbinsdca]

The brick thing is completely irrelevant. They checked multiple video cameras for a truck which was never there.

[@sbinsdca]

@@blueapple1730 i disagree. Bouncing objects can definitely go vertical after falling off a moving flatbed. The vertical vector of the pipe would depend on the speed of the flatbed truck, the initial angle of striking the asphalt, the roughness of the asphalt and the mass of the pipe. If you watch the reenactments you can see the pipe bouncing and flipping after striking the asphalt. However, the likelihood of it striking the windshield twice with one strike completely penetrating - then striking a person inside - is nearly zero. IIRC, the ME also testified her injuries were not consistent with a pipe striking her. It's clear he created the first strike on the windshield that did not penetrate the glass and had to redo it harder the second time for the pipe to penetrate.

[@sheilajackson3730]

Isn't it very possible and probably very likely that the cops looked in the trunk there at the scene and therefore possibly catching the grass under the trunk lid?

But she didn't die at the scene or before she died at the hospital the next day. How is that even possible that she could die from strangulation the next day?

[@awright119021]

She was barely hanging on to life and they pulled the plug on her. When strangled, it damages things in your neck destroying your ability to breathe on your own. She had head injuries/fractures as well. She was without oxygen for too long which causes massive brain damage. She could never recover from that, only be supported by machines forever.

I trust them until I'm in the middle of an investigation or a possible suspect. It is their job to get criminals to talk or catch them in lies. I'm so glad they do it so that I'm a little bit safer! But I know better than to put myself in that situation when I'm innocent because who knows what will fly out of my mouth!

Todd was an extremely simple man, who beat his overbearing wife to death. And came up with a very simple story to try and get away with the murder. Nobody with a IQ out of the double digits would buy his story. Probably sounded a lot better in his head than it did trying to explain it to detectives.

this one hit home. i was on the freeway once when a pipe flew up and stuck straight into the front grill of my car (just to the left of the driver side head lamp). I knew something had hit but had no idea what until people started honking and pointing causing me to pull off... where i then saw a 1" rod pipe sticking straight out of the grill of my car like an arrow! IT WAS CRAZY! and it took two guys to pull it out! had it hit 3-4 inches higher it would have shot straight trough my windshield killing me for sure. unlike this case, the freeway was busy (405 in LA) and came from a vehicle in front of me - NOT PASSING TODD!! insurance company thinks it most likely shot up from a semi trailers back wheel. I guess this happen all time when they run over stuff. but a fricken rod! still freaks me out!
