From the sounds of it, if this woman had gone to her employer - this good man - and explained her situation, he possibly would have lent her the money anyway. But no. Her first response was to steal, lie, commit burglary and murder, and then continue to lie. What a horrible person.

please, dear Mike, don’t ever change your intro or outro music. Aside from seeing your mug tell a sad story in a silly way, well you know what I mean, that music means so much comfort. I’ve been watching you since about pre-Covid and when I hear that music it makes me feel so much better that we’re about to give it a goo!

WOW he didn't even fire her?! No good deed goes unpunished

[@ekbanks]

Right, Out of all of the true crime I've been watching for some reason this is the most senseless murder.

[@madsdee7803]

I think he was going to fire her and that letter was her attempt at gaslighting him into keeping her there. I don't believe her. Why would she go looking around the workplace for the letter if he forgave her? It's not a coincidence they went there to get the letter. She also wanted them dead because she knew he was going to report her to the police and she would never work in a position of trust where she could steal again.

[@madsdee7803]

His son knew about her stealing too so he had to go too.

[@shopreaux1577]

Him firing her would’ve most likely ended the exact same way for him. The motive was she didn’t want to go to jail from the get go and was allegedly willing to do whatever to stop that from happening. Didn’t matter what he said or did. Once he knew she stole, it was over for him.

[@makavelismith]

​@@DanDan-xj8oxshe planned the murderers. She got off light.

[@aftermidnight4867]

I think she knew and arranged it. And I further don’t think they murdered them just over the $9,000. I think they murdered them to keep from going to jail for embezzlement. The only person saying he wasn’t going to press charges or was going to allow her to keep her job, was her…

[@Fcreceptor]

Pretty much. I can’t imagine anyone thinking differently. She wrote that letter hoping for mercy but Paul probably didn’t give her a clear answer about losing her job or paying it back. She likely figured the doctor had more money at the house and those guys went there hoping to eliminate the “problem” and find more money.

[@Mike--Oxmall]

Considering he didnt suspend or report her straight away I believe shes probably telling the truth. The house wasnt robbed either, its like they were just looking for the letter. It seems they genuinely believed that getting rid of the letter with her confession on it would clear her of the crime. The idiots didnt seem to realise that all the doctor needed to prove her guilt were the bank records showing her writing cheques to herself.

[@Fcreceptor]

@@Mike--Oxmall not necessarily. The doctor might have told her “we’ll talk about it later” or something along those lines to indicate he wanted to mull over how to appropriately handle it. And the murderers who actually broke in and killed him and his son might have ransacked the house looking for cash. Theft of property would just put the spotlight on them and they seemed to have had a good idea on how to get away. They cleaned the car of prints and the police had no clue who actually committed the crime. I’d say they almost got away with it.

[@ayameisastar]

@@Mike--Oxmallagreed. Also the police said her story checked out which means they confirmed her story. Likely the daughter knew what was going on so could confirm the story or there were texts or emails.

[@Mike--Oxmall]

@@Fcreceptor But they left the wallets and the safes.

[@Ryo7_7]

I seriously doubt she didn't orchestrate the whole, at least majority, of the crime. She could've kept her job if she wasn't so greedy and heartless. This was just insane.

[@cade377]

Who knows. I don't think she knew that the murders would happen... she knew she wasn't going to lose her job and Paul was going to keep her on.... But damn.... what a stupid reason to murder people.... just senseless.

[@ericison6032]

If she lied about ripping up the letter something so stupid I'm pretty sure she lied about not wanting him killed if anything she probably conned her boyfriend into killing the guy and his son

[@davidhollenshead4892]

@@ericison6032 I once knew a mental health practitioner who worked for Corrections in a northwestern state in the US. Her main duty was group therapy at a men's maximum security prison. She explained to me that women probably commit a planned homicide as often as men do, but many use a naive to mentally challenged man as their murder weapon. Even if said man figured out they got played before they were convicted, if he believes that he is the father of her baby, he will still take the fall...

[@rheap129]

I mean, I guess I'm confused about Maria's story. She says at trial that she tore up the letter, but how did it get in his jacket? And then she blames the police for rewriting the letter even though the whole purpose of her tearing up the letter was so that no one would know about the letter, so if she tore it up, how would the police even know that there WAS a letter in the first place? Strange coincidence that the police make up a letter apologizing, and she happened to also write a letter about the same subject but tore it up, isn't it?

[@SeenGod]

yeah see that’s why she’s a lying sack of shite, because if she knew somebody actually found the letter eventually, then she wouldn’t have said in court that she tore it up, so she didn’t actually know the letter was found

[@windowpain1]

I'm also confused, as I was initially assuming the letter was discovered in the jacket after she claimed she ripped it up, which is why the letter would be treated as the smoking gun in the story--proving that she had lied. But it sounds like she only first says she ripped it up during the trial, after the letter was discovered, which would be weird time to make up that lie.

[@davidhollenshead4892]

She was claiming that the letter was not hers, but created by corrupt police...

[@rheap129]

@@davidhollenshead4892 Right, but that seems weird cause in her story, they found the letter before they even knew she wrote a letter. And nobody was even searching for the letter-it was just found and the police ignored it for years. So it’s strange considering that she first says she couldn’t find the letter (and it was so important that she get it back), but then at trial she now says she tore the letter up and there was no need to get it back, so her friends killed him for literally no reason.

[@madsdee7803]

She changed the story to ripping up the letter after the prosecution pointed out that she was to blame for the murders because her assassins went in there for the letter. No letter = no crime by her lol. She was reaching. What I don't understand is why people believe a lying thieving murderer when she says her boss forgave her and was going to keep her on as an employee. There's no proof of him forgiving her and that would be why he and his son were killed. Because she never would have got another job with them alive knowing what she did.

[@kathryncumberland]

Her attorney said, "At best, she's a thief," lol. She meant at worst.

[@archlich4489]

Freudian slip

[@hylonycteris]

No, at best she's a thief. At worst, she's a murderer. That's what the defense attorney meant.

[@kathryncumberland]

@@hylonycteris No, he's arguing that the worst crime she committed was theft, not murder. So he should have said that at worst, she's a thief. Saying "At best, she's a thief" means that the best thing she could possibly be, of all existing options, is a thief. That's not a favorable assessment, lol!

It feels completely unreal to me that the jury would believe Maria's sorry excuse of a defense... The cops planted the letter?? How would they have known about it when only she and her acolytes knew about it?? And that letter when it was found, even if assuming it was "planted", didn't even do anything to help with the case! What was the police supposed to gain doing that?! And if the letter was indeed retrieved by her (contradicting her own initial testimony), why did the home invasion still took place? Wouldn't it imply that the goal was always to kill Dr Jarrett, if the letter wasn't even in the picture? Isn't it obvious she simply changed her story to cover for her a$$, to feign that she didn't even have anything with the burglary to begin with, to get out of that charge too?? To me, this all makes her look infinitely more guilty, not less!

Actually a home invasion IS when entry is made when the occupant are known to be present. Burglary is when occupants are thought to be out.

[@Eddies_Bun_Mom]

Mike, you should really take a look at the case of Josette Wright. It happened in my hometown in New York state (blessedly, I don't live there anymore) and it was not only devastating, but the aftermath has been a very wild ride. It's been ongoing since 1994. Love your channel, by the way, and since I found it I have not once forgotten to deadbolt my door!

12:22 I kinda feel like most birds probably smell pretty musty, sorry birds but I see the kind of water you guys bathe in and there's no way you don't smell gross.

He meant to kill someone taht is a family member, a friend, a neighbor, boss... Someone that you know for some good time, not refered to stupid trigger lovers, which there are plenty of in this crazy world.

The irony here is that if she would have gone to him and asked to borrow to keep her house, he probably would have helped her.These men are just idiots.. what did they possibly stand to gain? And to kill for absolutely nothing- 9k?

I want take the time to compliment you on your presentations. There are so many true crime channels on this platform and your style-the flow, the rhythm, the structure, the delivery-is truly so uniquely engaging. You truly have a gift for this and every upload is just such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for all of your hard work to entertain us. Take care of yourself cuz we love ya 😉

[@KylieCrime]

Mike is true a great true crime video creator. Would it be possible for you to watch one of my true crime videos and give me some solid feedback?

[@leonardmullin2699]

Good video Mike, but I must comment on what you said about home invasions. You said that home invasions almost always happen then no one is home. This is wrong, the crime of home invasion applies only when people are home, otherwise it is a burglary or a break and enter and then a charge of theft. It is something most people do not know and just go along but a home invasion has to be people having their privacy invaded by outsiders in their home.

[@emersongranados2330]

Thanks for the video Mike! Great narration and putting a crescendo of the events together!
