Please rethink Tracy Smith as an interviewer. She's too over the top and why does she have to repeat everything everyone says??? 'You mean he stopped here?' 'You mean it was a suitcase full of men's clothes!?' "You mean he watched us on 48 hours..you mean he saw us??? You said he watched us on TV?' Good god, that's what the man said.

He was 58 when he was sentenced, he will be eligible for parole at 73. They are going to parole him if and when he terminally ill so the state can get out of providing him with the medical care associated with being elderly. Just because he is eligible for parole at 15 years doesn’t mean he is going to get it. Usually a parole board wants an admission of guilt, and years of remorse.

Orange County court are very corrupt.. it’s disgusting. It’s all about money and connections. My mother n laws husband got kidnapped by his own son made his father sign all his pov and money to him. Paid a bunch of lawyers in Orange County that were connected to the judge. He put his father in a nursing home. And he got away with this. Gave around 200k to lawyers n court kept the rest. And he’s still trying to take my mother n law to court she’s 87. It’s his step son. She’s widowed the husband died in the nursing home 3 months later his own son put him in there when he kidnapped him from his own home with my mother n law.

Pro tip: if you can tell the 911 operator doesn't believe you, when the cops show up you need to keep your mouth shut.

Not sure such people are capable of actually loving other people at least how normal people think of it. It's more of a possessing other people as things. It says alot that he could only find someone he didn't speak English from a far off country. The point is this guy was never a "normal" person.

Rich or not, killing and dumping someone's body in a trash dumpster shows the amount of hate you have in your heart. Chad the devil, didn't want or love his family at all. Sad story, my deepest condolences.

[@BristolBerg]

You are saying it is a Chad behavior?

[@Brembelia]

They say if a man loves the children, then he loves the wife. Conversely, if he doesn't love the children, then he doesn't love the wife. The fact that he murdered her and deposited her body in a dumpster says he was very angry with her. The fact he abandoned the 3 sons says he didn't love her. It seems that when he married her, she was young, pretty, and depended on him, but in time, she evolved, became independent, and looked like a Mom. His mistake, with all his money, was he didn't just divorce her. He could have given her and the kids the house and provided alimony until the kids were grown and she married someone else. He would have made out better than living in some remote Mexican town without his passports, on the run, and bussing tables. Make it make sense.

I feel that Peter did see the initial 48 Hours episode, but one thing he learned from it was that the Marshal remarked that "he (Peter) didn't even ask how his kids are." So then when Peter saw the Marshal again, he asked him "how's Ben" @34:24. Makes sense.

As someone who grew up in a very working class family in a very working class town and didn't have running hot water in our house until I was 11. That was in the UK then at 24 I moved to the US and married a trust fund lady who came from a very wealthy old money background I seen how both sides live. I can honestly say there were far more emotional and physiological problems in the rich family than I ever seen growing up. Mother was bipolar and having affair with a 20yr her junior Russian illegal immigrant with her husband's knowledge. The eldest daughter was sectioned to a mental hospital at 14 by her parents I could go on all day, bottom line money doesn't change anything if your evil or a lunatic then all the money and nice houses in the world won't change a thing.

The judges did not let him out just because he had sons. They let him out because he was able to post a very large bail. That's the only reason.

​​​@@Jerseyboondocksthe judge should have weighed all of the facts of the case, as the original poster documented in her comment. And they knew he was a multi-millionaire, so the bail was no big deal for him. The point is, they said the reason he got bail was because he had three children in the area, and yet he didn't show any concern or love for them. That should have been a huge red flag.

@@marygoff3332 when one is rich, one can afford high power lawyers who have an old school network with several generations of sitting judges across the justice system, this can pull a lot of backroom deals for their generous criminal clients.
