I immediately knew it as soon as you played the first 911 call you could hear that was a cry of remorseful regret You could hear that he was already regretting that he killed his wife or soon to be ex-wife But it was definitely a cry of remorse filed regret because he’s a dummy and took it too far But it’s definitely had that fake tone but not completely fake It’s more of regret But has a fake tone to it because it’s not the right kind of cry for what He’s supposedly supposed to be going through If it was true to his story that is

I feel like if they’d followed the Reid Technique of interrogation it might have worked better than an immediate direct confrontation. Built rapport, gently confront the inconsistencies, pose the alternative question and so forth. People are more likely to shut down if you don’t establish rapport and then go in on confronting them. At the same time, he deserved to be confronted with the evidence and it’s satisfying to see.

[@matthewnewton8812]

She’s a dreadful and ineffective interrogator. She just dives right in with the accusations immediately. She doesn’t even try to establish a rapport, doesn’t ask him for his version of events first to lock him into a lie, she doesn’t slowly introduce evidence over the course of the interrogation, etc. She just goes right for the jugular. And, predictably, he shuts down and ends up walking out of there free (temporarily). Useless. Useless waste of everybody’s time.

[@josephfelts6560]

Hey Mike, thanks for the video. And what a case. From the moment he put the house in trust in his and his mother's name, that's a red flag. Why did Shanti agree to foot the money to renovate, when he was on and on about his wealth?? I mean, US$6m, 600k on a house, you don't have the means to fund the renovation that was YOUR idea? Shanti's running her business from a one-bed on the property, while renovations are going on, and they are not because the one person whose idea it was is falling out with contractors, while NOT working. Then there's the ridiculous idea of having the renovations shown on TV, so a whole camera crew is involved. Shanti had enough, so did David. Why did he kill her? She must have had a row with him, one of several, and showed she was leaving or taking action against him, meaning no more funding, and potentially losing the house he wanted so much. How killing her would solve the matter, well, that's David's thinking. Probably sell up the house at a loss, cashing in instead on Shanti's life insurance policies. But thankfully, he was a lousy actor, with the injuries on Shanti not matching with the versions he came up with, partially or fully. Being the only person in the house, clearly he had to be at fault, and then coming up with the house being burgled, was laughable. Her son and former husband were right, Tronnes is a parasite and is where he should be. And you were right too, Mike - the man had an appetite for bathhouses, he's got a whole main course coming up for life.

[@cydkriletich6538]

What a sad ending for Shanti, a single mom who seemed like a genuinely good, hard working, trusting woman. Nowadays, I believe if you meet someone online, it is wise to do a thorough background check on them without letting them know. Also, while we don’t know exactly what happened the day Shanti lost her life to this sicko, no one, but particularly a woman, should ever let their spouse/partner know they are leaving them, for any reason, let alone something really scary like this guy was living (his double life, the financial lies, etc.) while still living under the same roof as the person you have decided to leave. Get out and get to a safe house. Then, either notify the person you’re leaving by phone call, or, better yet, let your attorney give notification. There’s no guarantee the person you’re leaving, particularly one as disturbed and duplicitous as this monster, won’t come after you, but it gives you a fighting chance. My heart aches for her son. R.I.P, lovely mother. 🙏

[@TheRealEMURSE]

yeah, this kinda case is really bad and awful...not that any of these are typically nice stories at all

[@YeahForSure99]

I mean imagine your spouse of like 5 years just isn't there when you get home one day and then CALLS you to tell you they're divorcing you. It just seems very cold and callous. Especially if you weren't abusive or anything. But at the same time I totally understand your point.

[@cydkriletich6538]

@@TheRealEMURSE Well, I suppose there is really no totally pain-free way of notifying one’s spouse that you want a divorce, even under the best of circumstances. But, if you are leaving someone because they are control freaks, or abusive, or you find out they have been living a lie, etc., I think it’s best to get out before you tell them.

Rest in peace, Shanti ❤ 🕊 This shouldn't have happened to you. Good work covering this, Mike!

[@MelodyNelson1087]

David's phone calls with his mother (RIP) are absolutely epic!!!!

[@scottdavidson526]

This woman was beautiful, driven, and successful. She carried this loser for all this time, and she finally reached the end of the rooe with this guy. I'm sure that she told him that she was going to file for divorce, he snapped and killed her. Unfortunately, he gets to live the rest of his life, while the son will grow up without a mom. Damn shame.

[@lisahinton9682]

Welp, I was just grossed out by the fake crying, obvious lies, and histrionics in the 911 call and the interrogation room. Then I heard her son give his statement and now I'm bawling my eyes out. *Sorry, Shanti. What happened to you shouldn't have. May your son somehow find his way, and grow up to be a strong and healthy man.*

This is the one channel where it doesn’t matter if I know the story already or not, if Mike tells it, I’m watching & liking! ❤

[@juicyjules7409]

[@HalloweenBorn72]

Is it only me that starts dancing when the insurance money policy payout music starts?? Lol. I'm never getting married, and I'll always say I'm broke, to try and avoid situations like this one. Rip Shanti

How many of us were yelling at the blank screen? Thought we were ROBBED of the insurance dance! Then, by some miracle, it arrived and we all stopped yelling.

Sameeeee, also, I’m sorry but his first wife…. 👀

[@clipnclap4256]

That is the sound of a man crying because HIS life will never be the same. Definitely not because her life was lost

[@pinkTonya24]

David's "cries" when he is talking to 911 are the definition of crocodile tears !! They sound like an alarm you would here if a severe storm is rolling into your neighborhood

[@9418]

I know! To me it sounded more like a siren than crying! Haha. Too bad that the “siren” in this case (referring to the Greek myth of a beautiful creature leading you to your death) David was shanti’s siren. 😢

[@bitobaco]

His jail phone calls to his Mom while she tells him about his mail are very funny to me. Hearing the way he takks to his Mom speaks volumes.

[@perijetton9275]

I’m so happy to see you doing so well all these years later! I never doubted that you would get here. Congratulations Mike!

"When the crime scene's the tub, / The perp is the hub." It NEVER fails. If these dudes would watch a few true-crime shows, they'd pick another venue. Husband comes home, finds wife dead in bathtub, makes histrionic call to 911...I'm waiting for them to make it into a musical. Are you listening, Andrew Lloyd-Webber?

By the the time the court case and its conclusion came around that dude looked like he knew his fate before it was handed down.

This is why I love Mike. He has actual personality. It’s not some guy (or ai) being paid to read off a script, it’s this weird Irish dude that has all these quirks and mannerisms, makes it feel like it’s just a guy telling you a story.

His fake crying had me hysterically crying with uncontrollable laughter.

This detective did a very good job, within her investigation. Guilty people scream volumes when they are guilty vs. when they are not. And this was painfully obvious
