Mensa Murderer | George Trepal Case Analysis | High IQ Society or High Narcissism Society?

Trupal is still bitching to the prison guards the music from other inmates is to loud. It's crazy that in United states of America some states gurneys up the DP inmates within 10 years and some other states Dp inmates die of natural old age before being strapped. Like scott Peterson that white boy is never gonna get strapped. Cali got a rate of 1 execution per 20 years. Scott is like 20th in line. Hes gonna be like 400 years old when it's his turn. Texas puts them in the box the quickest. Even though they dropped the ball with Bart Whittaker. Killed mother brother and father survived his assassination attempt and his DP got pardoned to life after he had a last meal of his choosing . Texas should be ashamed of that one

[@gavinjenkins899]

Well yeah... people who commit crimes and have a bunch of evidence in their homes generally aren't stupid enough to rent them out.

[@RounderlifeTV]

Why would someone with an IQ in the top 2% of the general population leave the only piece of evidence tying himself to the crime behind? Detective’s interviewed Trepal early on and said he was “nervous” - so why would an alleged guilty party, who knew cops were “onto him”, leave the bottle containing traces of thallium (the murder weapon) in his unlocked garage? Getting rid of it would have been his first order of business after the detectives left. There were no finger prints on the bottle either. You don’t have to be a Mensa member to conclude the damning evidence was planted by someone who wanted, or needed, him convicted.

[@rejaneoliveira5019]

Awesome final thoughts - “He was able to perpetrate his crime due to intelligence consistent with membership in the high IQ society, but he was caught due to arrogance consistent with the high narcissism society.” Witty and on point! 💯 Excellent analysis Dr. Grande, thank you!❤️

[@elmtree33]

^^^^THIS! It wasn't so much his intelligence that got him in trouble but his arrogance...as is often the case with any arrogant person.

[@aarondavis8943]

IQ is not synonymous with operative intelligence. It is strongly *associated* with intelligence and success, but it's easy to see why this might be the case while still not being causal. There are plenty of examples of high-IQ individuals who we just wouldn't consider *smart*, *cunning* or *wise* and of course there's the definition problem. Having a high IQ is always a positive thing. But it doesn't equate to brilliance. And it can exist in the same person who behaves like a dumbass, as in this case. We can surmise that the guy had anger issues or was arrogant but in the final analysis these are simply signs of a lack of operative intelligence. And more than that, his arrogance can't account for an extremely clumsy attempt at getting away with murder. There are plenty of lower IQ individuals who would have done a much better job than this. For example, they never would have telegraphed their intention to murder with a threatening letter. And they never would have given any chance that such a letter would cause a family to leave their home forever. It's actually quite a childish notion. IQ tests just can't account for the levels of complexity inherent in the social world.

@@cht2162 Albert Einstein never said that. His insights came while filing patents and was never seen sweating. Thomas Edison, whose efforts included stealing patents, taking credit for the work of others (he did NOT invent the light bulb) and electrocuting elephants and dogs to discredit Nikola Tesla, famously said that genius is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration. Tesla, the real genius, invented AC electricity, wireless chargers and the induction motor. Edison invented the electric chair. A carpenter who can hit nails is not a genius, hitting nails is first on the list in the job description. A smart carpenter would use a nail gun and a genius carpenter would invent a nail that avoided that menial, mind-numbing task. The label of genius does correlate highly with high IQ but does not define it. More likely it is used to describe someone whose mental abilities surpass others in the same field and applies creativity to intelligent problem solving, such as music, science, math or baseball (Mozart, Madame Curie, Srinivasa Ramanujan and Billy Martin are examples). People with "low I.Q's" misquote others due to laziness, have trouble operating a dictionary, callously slander the dead in backhanded compliments and arrogantly talk about geniuses, but can't bother to spell it correctly.

He could make a FAQ video that's like the ones he does about other people, speaking of himself in the third person, with the caveat that he's not self-diagnosing anything, only speculating on what could be happening in a situation like that. "Sometimes people are highly desensitized about disturbing topics, and this is a manifestation of , but such a diagnosis cannot be done only from this superficial appearance because other factors may be at play. For example, a person may be desensitized only to a normal degree that someone has with constant exposure to such disturbing topics when they're on a field of research or practice, like psychiatry. Furthermore, people can chose to, to some degree, mask their emotional response when addressing a disturbing topic in order to conform to certain desired standards for the coverage, where a more visible emotional reaction isn't necessarily considered adequate. That's aided by the ability to record the presentation at a moment the person puts oneself more in control, and even by regular pauses if the subject is really emotionally exhaustive."

Dr. Grande this case is so unusual with such a horrifying story line and tragic ending. On a positive note both the physicians from Haven hospital who reported their medical lab findings about Thallium to police along with undercover officer Susan Gorick deserve recognition for being good at looking for the root of problems and then dwelling on solutions for them in the best ways possible. The story leaves me continuing to wonder who sent that threatening letter. Was the person who sent the threatening letter in the habit of going on holiday for real, unlike Susan Gorick, in a nearby hotel during a long distance affair living in the lake Tahoe area? Sure does sound like George is terrible at finding and dwelling on proper solutions to any problems. Good thing narcissistic George never became a physician along with a being a swinger too I guess.

I hadn't heard of this case at all. It sounds from the amount of evidence that either George was so sure the police wouldn't suspect him he didn't think the police wouldn't have probable cause to search the house. Or he took the fall for his wife, thought narcissists usually won't take blame for anyone else's wrongdoing. They usually try to blame others for their crimes/bad behaviour. PS. The Agatha Christie novel mentioned was "The Pale Horse".

Kudos to the police and FBI for one tenacious investigation.

I don’t believe you mentioned the bit about them picking up hitchhikers and feeding them Oreos laced with hallucinogens - then watching them. Also that the murder mystery they put on that the undercover agent went to was a poisoning and they sent a note ahead of time with the same note sent to the family in real life! I think it’s possible she did it - but if true, he definitely was in on it. He’s guilty as sin. And then trying to get the female agent over to “tour” his new house where he had a torture room set up!! How much evidence does there need to be?

[@candyvigil550]

I think your analysis was spot on.

The suspicion of thallium was due to luck. A newly hired neurologist was hired and was walking into the wing that she was in to see another patient. He heard the providers talking about the case and it triggered a memory of a case that was presented during his training. Had the neurologist not been there it would not have been diagnosed.

And the Carrs went on to annoy the rest of the neighborhood….

[@nancywysemen7196]

surprised the police made this much effort-how expensive was that.....murder diabolical.

[@beck713]

Omg I was about to come leave a comment that he must have read The Pale Horse, but then you said this guy was actually stupid enough to just leave it out on the table!

ini kerren juga dr Todd Grande. Tiap kali publish kontent, viewers-nya banyak

[@briangiesen2015]

Hi Dr. Grande! Well done as always. I don't want to sound silly or anything but I think I had a dream where you named a succulent or cactus. Perhaps seeing your little cacti collection and your cactus emblem on your merchandise influenced my subconscious. Either way great insight and informative!

[@eadweard.]

Well .. what did he name it?

The cacti arrangement in this video is pleasing to the eye

[@mutinyonthekitkat]

Another informative and interesting video. But my attention keeps being drawn in a slightly OCD way to the cactus on the right that's perilously close to the edge of the table. I'm a bit worried for it.

Okay soi thought you were saying Valium and I thought damn my sleepy time tea ain't playing around. I'm gonna sleep forever lmao

the husband: oh please, that warning was just a prank from teenagers. the husband: calm down, this lethal poisoning was just a prank from teenagers.

Previous narratives about this case actually made it seem like Trepal was mostly convicted of being weird and out of touch with the rural community. The bottle of thalium-based rat poison was found in an old shed, covered in dust, and according to the FBI lab was a different type of thalium than Peggy had ingested. Knowing that Trepal had a history of cooking meth and as a byproduct thalium makes the likelihood of his guilt much higher. Thanks for that bit of info.

[@dawnkobylarz7126]

I've seen this case on other channels,very interesting but too smart for his own good!

[@icturner23]

Leaving the bottle is really bizarre, especially when he moved away.

[@scose]

the Forensic Files episode on this case was one of the series best

[@RikodiusRex]

People are scary, Dr. Grande. They're scary.

[@KattMurr]

I've only heard of one other person with the name of Pie. It what my friend's kids call their grandfather on their father's side. I asked her where that term came from. She said he always called the kids sweetiepie or something to that effect. So they started calling him "Pie". I thought that was cute...lol....I know an odd story for the comments of your video....lol...🤣

[@jigglehugs]

My favorite thing was Dr Grande’s disapproval of how his last name is pronounced
