Fake Serial Killer | Thomas Quick (Sture Bergwall) Case Analysis

[@axelrobertsson9008]

This is one of the biggest scandals in modern Sweden. They wanted a Swedish serial killer so they came up with one, not only destroying Thomas’ life but also helping the real killers get away. Thank you for this video! 🇸🇪

[@tomarctus7587]

- it is a fascinating story, not because of Quick - because he was an asshole, but because of all the authorities (Remember we are talking about a lot of people with authority, perhaps hundreds.) - from judges, lawyers, police investigators , psychiatry, witness experts to journalists and the Public Opinion who were convinced he was a genuine serial killer. We are talking about a mass groupe thinking (remember almost the entire population of Sweden 10 million, not to mention the neighboring countries) and the clearest example of how confirmation bias works. All of the authorities - wanted - him to be a serial killer, when anyone disagreed they were labeled stupid, ill informed or they just haven't read (the confirmation bias) the things the authorities had read. The biggest crook is obviously psychiatry with all its woo woo, also supported by police investigators, "witness experts" and eventually by Judges. A few brave souls like Hannes Råstam and Leif GW Persson said all along this is a case of a mythoman, a Pathological liar. Now what is really needed is for someone to put subtitles on Hannes Råstam`s documentary "Thomas Quick". The biggest problem however is that no one with authority - as far as i know - has ever been held accountable. One of them are still teaching his students Quick is a serial killer and everyone else is wrong. As your neighbor to the west, we have also had several cases of wrongful convictions, nothing as big as Quick - yet - but we are still waiting for the outcome of a terrible case of child rape and killings (Baneheia drapene) - two small girls where raped and killed - where one accused person may have spend 21 years in prison for something he did not do. The mechanisms seems chillingly similar to that of the Quick case.

@@caninecurry5823 He died many years ago. The murders he confessed to were cold cases, so the killers had basically gotten away with it already. He's the Scandinavian version of Ottis Tool and Henry Lee Lucas in the US: Having a ball and getting attention while they "confessed" to just about every unsolved murder of women in the country. The police ate it all up, even confessions to murders that they knew that the two could not possibly have committed. Lots of investigations of murder cases were halted because of people like Quick, Tool and Lucas and many others then, and police forces desperate to get closure on their cold cases - all over the world. All these cold cases have been reopened, and most of them are just as cold as they were before these confessions. It has happened since then too, albeit to a lesser extent, and it will happen again in the future. Repressed memory was a psychologist fad all over the world back then. I actually think it started in the US. Or at least it was enormously popular there. It's easy to pass judgment after the fact, because as we know: Hindsight is always 20/20.

They never really remembered but had to accept that they had suppressed it. They were completely innocent.

Thank you for going in to different cases around the world. Another one from Sweden is a case simply known as "the case Kevin" (fallet Kevin). It's where a 4 year old boy got killed in Arvika. Two brothers who were 5 and 7 at the time got accused of the murder from the police. But in later years video has shown how badly the investigation was in this case. It would be interesting to see your analysis of the investigation and how it can effect a person mentaly, when society thinks they have committed a murder.

[@MissWhiskers]

Or the case of Christine Schürrer, the crazy German woman who out of jealousy bludgeoned two innocent toddlers to death with a hammer and nearly killed the mother (who would survive and would later be able to point her out as the murder). This heinous act, that was committed in Sweden, was perpertuated solely out of spite as Schürrer had previously been involved with the mother's boyfriend, who had later rejected her. Schürrer laughed during the police interrogations and made jokes completely inappropriate considering the gravity of the matter. (She was convicted despite the lack of physical evidence connecting her to the scene, thanks to an abundance of circumstantial evidence.) If you could provide an analysis of this case, of this chilling female psychopath and childkiller, Dr Grande, I would be forever grateful.

[@erikparent8176]

I agree with Dr. Grande that repressed memories are not an issue. As a long time meditator I have trained my mind not to think of the past or create mental scenes about an imagined future. It is extremely benefical to leave past memories unveiwed. There is no need to go to a therapist and rehash all that crapola. Everyone needs to practice inner body awareness to heal old emotion as it comes to the surface and learn calming technics so that highly charged emotion is not created, in ones present life situation. The key to feelings of peace and happyness is to heal repressed emotion, which allows an internal natural joy to arise from within. The issue is not memories but repression of the emotions associated with past life scenes. We all have alot of repressed emotions because when they were generated, we buried them. This is why it's best to feel your inner body so emotion can't be hidden within. Putting attention on your inner emotional body so one is always concious of any emotions being generated, or arising from already stored emotion. All emotions are actually subtle electromagnetic wavelengths that when observed by an inner feeling, are transmuted into feelings of joy. Transmutation is a tuning of unpleasent reactive emotion into feelings of joy and peace. When we place concious feeling in our bodies we align with the awareness field which is non-physical and in turn change the frequency of any emotion, that happens to arise from our shadow tanks or new emotion that is being created. 🙏🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🌌🌠♾

There was a crew of people around him - police, judges, lawyers, journalists - who made their careers on this case, and encouraged him to confess more and more murders! They didn't care that it was all a lie 2. Thomas Quick was a drug addict, and by confessing to new murders, he was regulary "rewarded" more drugs by the medicial staff that took care of him. So he keeped confessing to get his drugs.

@@Jag... I'm glad he didn't get the money. What he did was terrible. Like you said, all those families thought their loved one's murders were solved. Only to begin suffering all over again. Did they ever solve these murders? He also took away the feelings of safety and security of the entire nation! That should be a crime, in itself. What has he been up to, since no one is giving him attention, or drugs, anymore? Nothing good, I'd guess.

I've heard this story before. You will give a great analysis, Dr. Grande.

[@jackiegrice714]

Awesome analysis as usual Dr Grande. Allowing an open dialogue that includes differences in opinion is a safeguard against bias-that’s a vital concept that is very much needed today.

[@theunforgiven2885]

Your awesome Dr.Grande .Thank u for your dual diligence!💋

[@annalisegiovanni7032]

Hello Dr. Grande💖 I hope you're having a great weekend! Thanks for the new video.

[@theresar4617]

You've been so early this week, I was beginning to worry. Thanks for the upload and you are always engaging Dr. Grande.

[@theresar4617]

I am now speculating about death by pipe cleaner... You're hilarious doc.

[@theresar4617]

Unusually delayed gratification on the "likes" today Dr. Was that an experiment? Lol

[@pacificblue5461]

I can't believe how many times I broke out into laughter over the sheer absurdity of this!

[@christinabernat6709]

Well said! Same!

[@MrKikip1992]

That was very interesting, I've never heard of a case like this before.

[@jollyrogers75]

How do they know that after he was released, he wouldn't actually go out and start murdering people to get the REAL attention he wants? He has a violent past and is obviously mentally unstable. I hope they kept their eye on him.

[@LDiamondz]

Yeah, and then they wouldn't believe him if he confessed! It seems cops are incompetent all over the world!

[@zero_bs_tolerance8646]

Thanks, Doc.

[@ceciliadanielsson9530]

Thank you from Sweden! ❤ I have been interested in this case for a very long time! Such a tragedy!

[@DrMadelineAuD]

Would you ever consider doing a video on Todd Kendhammer? I’d love to hear your analysis of the case. (Great video, as always)

[@rayross997]

Could you please cover the genocide in Rwanda? In one case a teacher & soccer coach killed children he had taught & coached. How do people justify such actions?

[@LDiamondz]

Oh, that is grizzly. I wish he would cover this.

[@DaniL-hr9xo]

The end of this video is just perfection 😂😂😂

[@Strype13]

Is it still considered an alibi when the person has zero interest in using it to prove they weren't complicit?

[@LouisGiliberto]

Alibi means specifically that one is saying - or has evidence - that they were not at a place when an event occurred. So in a sense, yeah, if the cops ask me "Where were you june 3rd at 8pm" and I say I was at Denny's eating a Grand Slam, then it's an "alibi" even though I have zero interest in proving I wasn't complicit simply because I don't know that I need to or what for. But if the cops asking me where I was, and I say "Oh I was in the room with the victim" then that's not an alibi whether or not I care because the premise of an alibi is that I wasn't at the place where an event occurred.

[@bthomson]

PZ- good question!

[@phyllisdevries5734]

Thank you for advertising Harm Reduction!💕

[@rosannafish]

This was interesting! Never heard of this case even though I live in Finland

[@MaliekCombs]

Dr Grande I bought your book! Can't wait to read it!

[@flotreize3447]

Dear Dr Grande, are you considering doing a video on Rachel Dolezal case ? It could be most interesting. Many thanks.

[@LDiamondz]

I think he did that one a long time ago.

[@flotreize3447]

@@LDiamondz couldn't find it. Do you have the link to that video ?

[@JustDr.S]

@@flotreize3447 I looked and couldn't find it, either. It might have been on his Patreon.

[@f.4588]

Has Dr. Grande done a video on Cannabilistic killers?

[@jollypoppful]

sometimes people just need a friend. in loo if friends, they get a therapist of some kind. you want to make your friends happy, so you tell them what they want to hear and then the narrative takes the ball and just runs with it so you lose control of your own story.

[@kathyclark8274]

It's been repeatedly demonstrated that even negative reinforcement can be reinforcing in the absence of positive reinforcement.

[@dsbond8048]

There are Keystone cops in every country. A similar case is the one of Keith Jseperson (Happyface Killer) and Laverne Pavlinac in Portland, OR. Please do a video.

[@ladylarry75]

i read a book about this guy years ago, interesting insight into the case!

[@Ceerads]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@dmitrymanchenkov2996]

Thank you, Dr. Grande! Such an interesting case. Probably, this man didn't only feel lonely, but also possessed some narcissistic character traits which led to the desire of gaining fame and popularity no matter the cost? Well, he has seemingly got his ''15 minutes of fame'' and the media attention he had probably desired. And how many real murderers got the chance to get away due to his ''help''...

[@junejourney1051]

He had very strange way to get pleasure by faking it all. Thank you so much Dr.Todd Grande 🫀🤍

[@Radzoso]

Convicting the wrong person creates two injustices.

[@YTStoleMyUsername]

Dr. Grande, would you consider doing a review on the Hulu/FX Show "The Patient" with Steve Carrell? It brings up interesting points to consider. Most importantly, if a serial killer (or potential serial killer, or mass murderer, etc) would come to a therapist for help to stop their crimes or prevent them from giving in to the urge to kill, how would a therapist handle that? Many people see these awful stories in the news and we say to each other "There were so many red flags, if only something was done sooner" ... What is that "something?" The show is not over yet but maybe when it is it would be great if you could consider it as a potential topic. Thanks for your amazing work!
