Hi, Jessi Lee Lance here - Lorie Lee Lance was my first cousin. She died three years before I was born and I was never very close with the Lance side of my family, but ever since I heard about her I wish that I could have known her. I can’t tell you how much it means for this story to be getting more publicity and I really appreciate your analysis. I’ve been watching your videos for years and literally gasped when I saw this video pop up in my feed. I can tell you my family has never believed for a second that man was innocent. My mom recalls how he treated Lorie and how she seemed scared around him. She deserved so much more and she should still be alive today. Thank you again, Dr. Grande, for covering this story so eloquently and respectfully. Means a lot and I will be sharing it with my family.

I hate it when police and/or jurors say that lack of expression of emotion is an indicator of guilt. Based on what?! As diverse as people are, there are that many ways to feel and express the many emotions that might arise during a crisis or tragedy. In addition, lawyers and advisors advise clients on how to appear and act during questioning and judicial proceedings. And finally, most lay people who profess to have read an accused person's mind have no idea of what they are talking about and often conclude some traits in the opposite way that the traits indicate.

[@Bulldog13368]

You are correct about emotions. I have witnessed the full spectrum of reactions to horrible situations from family and friends in traumatic events. Years of working in the emergency department have taught me to not judge. Observe, but do not assume.

[@rmkilc]

Correct. The Casey Anthony case comes to mind. Her out partying when her daughter is missing and not being sad about it is not evidence of guilt. Jury got that one right though. The state thought they had it in the bag and failed big time.

[@aarondavis8943]

Typically, people in shock don't cry or express grief. Shock is an evolutionary adaptation that prevents people from crumbling into a useless heap during a dangerous situation. The shock continues for some time after the chaos has subsided; there's a _lag time._ I wonder how many people have been filmed in this state and juries have attributed their behaviour to a "lack of empathy"? _Prolonged_ lack of emotions, observed by people who _know the individual_ are a different story entirely, but even then we must be aware that not everyone expresses their grief in an explicit and obvious way. There's also a big difference between someone who doesn't cry much and someone who goes on a spending spree with life insurance money, finds a new partner within weeks and who starts partying 3 days after the funeral. Actions speak louder than emotions, or lack thereof.

@@Bulldog13368 I spend a lot of time in the ER, and my demeanour often throws the staff off until they realize that. I can be in really bad shape (I have extremely severe MCAS, and at times have had 5-6 anaphylactic reactions per day! I also have a myriad of other health issues). I’ve been sick my whole life, and you learn to hide it. Intuitive and or experienced paramedics, nurses and doctors do fine, because they’ve seen the full range before. The non-intuitive initiates on the other had, when I say ‘there is something really wrong’, dismiss me because I don’t look that bad. It took a return the next day, did tests, and it turned out I actually fractured two veritbrae from a spinal infection, and had a systemic blood infection, too. Even that time the doctors were shocked. I said “I told you it was 10/10 pain at one point today.” and he responded “And I believed you, you moved like you were in horrible pain, but you seemed too calm about it.”. “Yeah, because I’ve been here a few times before.”. (I was stunned when I learned it was actually fractured, I thought I’d pulled a muscle, or blown a disk at most). So yes, people process things differently. Sometimes the tiniest thing will toss someone into hysterics, but someone with a massive ugly thing is totally in control.

[@Andreamom001]

As soon as I looked it up, I checked for a divorce or separation, and yep. Sadly, it is not unheard of for parents in a custody battle to take the life of the child as a real “screw you” to the former spouse. Or a sort of “if I can’t have him, no one will.” Very sad. I can’t imagine doing that to my child. I was fully prepared to move anywhere to be near him if I ever lost custody (highly unlikely but never impossible). So far, I have had sole legal and physical custody of both my kids from infancy. Look up Arthur Freeman if you want another tragic, very famous case. Also Josh Powell. The Skelton brothers are probably another instance, although they are “missing” and it remains unsolved. There are many other cases that were not as famous. If you google “child murder divorce custody” you will find a lot of info on blogs, in articles, and on websites that analyze studies and reports on the phenomenon. It’s rare, but happens often enough for people to run studies on.

I would love it if you would do a video on the psychology of these women, because, really, I just don’t understand it. Personally, I can’t even imagine having a relationship like that.

[@vladimirputindreadlockrast812]

There is always confusion on the distinction between "not guilty," or a verdict that is overturned, and innocence. An absence of evidence does not equal "innocent". Also, a career fire fighter is expert testimony. If he said he noticed a "U" shaped discoloration in the burn and it stuck out like a red flag, I think he was speaking from experience, quite possibly the experience that doesn't necessarily show up in academic research. I think this is related to Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink" experience.

[@anne-marieh6128]

As we well know: correlation does not substantiate causation. Being an abusive man with a criminal history doesn’t make someone a murder. And many people who have committed murder were otherwise seen as pillars of their community- or at least were better behaved than the subject of your analysis. Nonetheless, the dry humor was well played as usual. It seems there is mixed message in your opinion that he was guilty vs. your Humored closing statements suggesting that anyone caught in such a scenario is pretty much doomed if they do get out alive and someone else parishes. To me, the biggest pieces of evidence proving his innocent are that though he was initially convicted because the door was said to be locked and the pseudoscience of pour patterns- both were proved wrong later. Also- no true motive. He may have gotten something out of being controlling of her but didn’t get anything out of her death. It seems to me that if he did want to kill her he would’ve done it in a fit of rage - not in the early morning hours. I can see anyone , and especially a woman like myself, who is attached to something in the house, running away from the door in an effort to get that something. He had already sustained burns, and probably imagined that she was going to make her way back out initially…springing into action when he realized that she hadn’t come out. Lastly I have fallen asleep watching TV and failed to take my cloths off once i made my way to bed. Now- I’m off to make sure the fire alarm was finally put back with a working battery in it. Thank you Dr. Grande!

[@bobbarker1798]

Those sliding locks are hard to move especially from the other side of the door.

[@GetMeThere1]

So....your theory of murder is that he locked her in the utility room and set things afire? If he were doing that, why would it be necessary to bother to disconnect the fire detector? The question is simple: If the door was locked from the outside it was murder, if not, then there's no reasonable way to call it murder -- especially since there was apparently no evidence that she was knocked unconscious or otherwise restricted from trying to escape. If she didn't trust him (a reasonable conclusion from the ancillary evidence of their relationship and his character) she may very well have not have trusted him enough to be dragged by him through fire! People certainly CAN do completely irrational things in extreme moments.

She was still alive at that point but unable to move and was apparently in and out of consciousness. He then decided it would look bad, so ran in to get her out and she died, horrifically, in his arms, on the front lawn as the house burned. She was about to leave to go back to the UK and her family after 20 years here. Such a sweet, sweet woman. I'm so very sorry Lori suffered in this way and was taken from the family. It's heartbreaking.

[@andreasrau2161]

Good afternoon, Dr. Grande! Indeed, Claude was an unpleasant character and morally, if not legally, guilty of his girlfriend's murder. I doubt that he planned the fire and when it broke out, he figured every man for himself and devil take the hindmost. That was his girlfriend's misfortune. He felt that he was safe, and that was fine by him. His two convictions were based on his vile nature and history, rather than the fire investigators' dubious findings. And they were pretty questionable at best or incompetent at worst. And having "disabled" fire detectors is not that uncommon. as some people might take the batteries out of them to use them for other purposes or they might be located in such places where kitchen stoves, ovens and clothes dryers might set them off each time those appliances are used. At best he was guilty of depraved indifference to human life, but that is not what he was charged with.

[@tomswift6198]

"Morally guilty"? What the hell does that mean? Sounds like something Greta (the AGW Kid) would say.

[@aarondavis8943]

The other thing is, if he was going to disable a smoke detector, why would he put it on the drier? Literally _anything_ else would have made more sense: like slightly disconnecting the battery and remounting the detector, or throwing the detector away entirely. The fact that the rear door wasn't locked also creates doubt, as does the testimony of apparently incompetent fire "experts". Anyone who thinks the state proved it's case here should never be on a jury. I personally don't care about Claude Garret and his fate. He was a monster jerk and it's close to impossible to sympathise with such a person. It's about the application of criminal justice generally.

There's definitely a reasonable doubt in my mind.

[@anne-marieh6128]

Absolutely!

[@lisaa.4667]

Perhaps the fire was in the front room, and she was too scared to go past it to get to the front door. With the heavy smoke, it would be hard to see where one is going, so she missed other ways to escape. When we lived in the 'burbs, our next door neighbor's house burned to the ground. It was amazing how quickly that fire spread and consumed the house. Fortunately, no one was home. It was probably due to a faulty electric circuit. They were doing work on their kitchen at the time.

[@GeorgideMarne]

She has tried to break up with him 6 months prior. So.. there's some decision making skills.. She did not succeed, probably had been stalked and harrassed for months... and I don't think for a second that she had not saw at least a movie or something picturing a fire in the house and what people are supposed to do in that situation. Even cartoons show that. No, she is not to blame in any circumstances. Plus, being with a bully and a sociopath does damage cognitive skills. Still not her fault.

[@JaxonHaxon]

@@GeorgideMarne That's the point. In an accident it's no one's fault. Is he guilty of being a dirtbag, for sure, is he a murderer? There's a reasonable doubt.

[@grandmastermario3695]

So many videos about talking about other people doing bad things, basically never talks about something like the affects of trauma or something.

I believe she was was in the laundry room, not locked in there, but trying to hide from him. He was drunk and possibly abusive then. She wedged herself between/behind the washer and dryer in an effort to hide. By the time she knew about the fire, she was trapped and died from smoke inhalation.

[@anne-marieh6128]

Interesting. I could see that possibility!

[@cd5433]

6:58 how can he get acquitted if he already got convicted for a second time ? Did the second conviction get over turned ?

[@thelocalmaladroit8873]

Nothing says “I love you “ like burning, hot “dying in the fire part!” What could she have possibly found attractive in this person?

[@lisaa.4667]

Maybe she was afraid to leave.

What is bothersome is that too often, as in this case, these kind of guys find naive professional "innocence" believers even professionals as journalists (like here: Segura) or often folks from innocence projects who presume everyone with a sob story innocent and are a disgrace to the rest of us lawyers who truly try to finde the shades of grey in which the truth more often than not is written.

With a reputation like that, it would be hard to maintain supporters when things like that happen. General maliciousness like that is probably motive enough to committ any similar crime. I am starting to understand how people create more reasonable doubt, especially for people that are highly likely to be guilty.

[@aarondavis8943]

It's quite easy to perform experiments to ascertain how fires behave in certain circumstances. Fire inspectors need to be scientifically rigorous if they want to be taken seriously. Same goes for blood splatter, bite mark, foot print and tire mark analysts, medical examiners and CSI dog handlers. There's so much fluffery in all these areas and enough is enough. This shit needs to be sorted out and made scientific.

Claude looks like he could be Mr. Clean’s evil twin.

[@synthiamcbride7194]

Let me speculate for a second: When they got home, at some point, Claude and his girlfriend had an argument. He punished her by locking her in the utility room, then he went to bed. He awoke to a fire and escape the house. He was too afraid of the fire to try to go back in till others arrived. His strange behavior was because he knew he had left the girlfriend locked in the house. I wonder if the authorities pursued that possiblity.

He may not have been a good guy, but I don't think there's any real evidence that he intentionally murdered anyone.

Being a known violent criminal can cause people to look at you with suspicion if someone dies in your vicinity? Who knew?

I don't feel that Lorie would have hid behind a washer and dryer in a utility room during a fire. She would have made her way to an exit. He no doubt killed her in a fit of rage and set the fire to cover his crime.
