[@timnixon8307]

The really sad part to me is that police interrogators held him in custody over 6 hours delivering progressively worse lines of questioning. Each line of questioning making the active assumption that he was guilty while the interrogators believed he was guilty and refused to even consider other suspects. Interrogators should not be allowed to lie to a potential suspect for a desired result and they should not be allowed to use scare tactics like "do you honestly think a jury is going to hear this evidence and believe you slept through all of it? They are going to send you to the electric chair". That last question mentioned goes well beyond "qualified / justified immunity". That is threatening a suspect and is a violation of civil rights. I hope the husband sued the ever loving crap out of this police / sheriff's office, the county and state that would have overseen his potential trial, etc for allowing their own deputized officers to attempt to badger anyone into a confession. They also failed to provide the suspect with legal representation in the interrogation which makes any confession he could have given them at that time completely inadmissible in court. These officers should be ashamed of themselves for how they handled the interrogation of the husband / father.

So weird he wanted to blame the dad. I was going to cry, at the thought of a husband and father doing something like that. That poor man what he had already experienced and that kid to try and drag him to hell with him.

[@sorryifoldcomment8596]

How is it weird to blame the dad, when partner or ex-partner is usually the culprit already? and it's reasonable to think it's pretty insane he slept through such a violent altercation, people moving through the house, dragging bodies, car leaving in the middle of the night, potential GUN SHOT, etc. And it's not like there was any evidence offsetting this damning situation. Nothing proving his innocence; no reason to cross him off the list as at least being an accomplice. Honestly, the only thing working in his favor in the slightest was just how little effort the murderer(s) put into not making it look like the dad was involved in some capacity. If it was the dad, he did a terrible job trying to cover his tracks. However, he wouldn't be the first man to murder his partner and totally fail to properly cover his tracks. _(Obviously when it comes to actually convicting someone in a court of law it's "innocent until proven guilty," and "treat the defendent like their innocence is presumed," etc. But, that cannot be the case for investigations...because, if you presume everyone is innocent until proven guilty, then you can only investigate people who have already been proven guilty...which is going to be basically no one, seeing as investigating potentially innocent people is the only way you can get the necessary evidence proving their guilt!)_ Point is...this reaction I see in so many comments seems like "hindsight bias." (Not the comments reacting negatively to every detail concerning how the police handled everything (like the cop telling the dad he was going to get the electric chair); just the comments reacting negatively to how the police "blamed the dad," thought he was guilty, etc.) Think about almost every other murder case covered by true crime channels like That Chapter. If the police didn't react the same way and the partner wasn't blamed in this case, then *statistically* you would be commenting about how 'horrendous & unjust it was for the police to let such an obvious murderer go free'...because *statistically* the partner _would_ be guilty. _(Hell, he wouldn't even be the first one to wait for their daughter to discover the crime scene on her own, in their house...then make a show of working with his daughter to try to brainstorm possible explanations, go look for the missing mom together - like at the hospital - so the daughter can genuinely share this with the police. And even if the police don't buy it, at least he can put work into convincing his kid(s) that he's 100% innocent first.)_

I feel bad that the husband at first was being accused of the murder when he literally slept through the whole thing. I know he probably feels some guilt. Poor guy but in hindsight the teenager left so much evidence as if he wanted to be caught.

[@matwithonet1984]

Keep up the good work Mike. You're awesome, and your channel is fantastic. You never disappoint with your delivery.

[@RyanBurgess-cg7kv]

Me and my dad share alot of good family time watching your videos ❤️ we don’t show many emotions together so this is our interest and we spend time together watching your videos! Thanks so much! Not bad for an Irishman haha x

[@Dominique_99]

What a terrible story. I’m so happy for all your accomplishments Mike. You’re such a fantastic person from what I can gather. I love the new shirt!

[@di_zzy_j]

Oh my goodness what a sad story... that kid threw away his life over a break up. I pray nobody encounters someone like this in their lives. What a tragedy 😢

[@tracywilson-tucker1310]

I’ve been following your channel for a while and the work you put in for each video is obvious and that you really care about the audience. All of the images and clips you add make the stories easier to follow, too. I know it must be heartbreaking and maddening to dig into the facts sometimes. Congrats on gaining more subscribers. I can’t recall when I first started watching, but it was pretty cool to see the traction l your videos gained. You’ve definitely earned it.

[@AmateurSurgeonThe3rd]

This really feels like there's something missing.It's unbelievable that no-one else woke up (she screamed, there were bloody footmarks downstairs) and also that that kid would have enough strength to kill her after a struggle and haul her body out into her car by himself all while everyone stayed asleep.

[@Trenchcoat3]

Eh, guys are pretty strong, even the skinny looking ones. My brother at his age could easily lift her, if he wrapped her up in the sheets and dragged her to the car it would have been even easier. Not impossible I think for a guy his age who plays sports.

Athletic don't mean anything tho he was a small dude compared to her

Mike upload day equals an awesome day. I noticed the shirt last video, very classy Mike. On another note, i can't tell you how much joy i get when i see the 'life insurance' dance, its freaking awesome and a total classic, NEVER EVER change Mike, you rock.

[@andrea95835]

love the dance!

it's a knock off of the polaroid shirt, i enjoy his content but he should at least design original shirts

[@shannsimms9072]

Wow. Manuela saved her daughters life with her own life that night.

[@DynamiteProd]

Your videos don’t show up in my feed for no reason… so the one good thing is I come back every few months and there’s like 10 videos to catch up on

[@VioletJoy]

What a horrific tragedy. Totally senseless. 💔

[@markcarpenter6020]

People are always amazed when people sleep through stuff but i had an uncle that could sleep through anything. Hell he once slept through getting beat with a basball bat. My uncle snored ( bad, you could literally stand in his front yard and hear him )and growing up he shared a room with his brother (my other uncle) and one night his snoring was so bad my other uncle tried to wake him up and couldn't. He finally got so fed up he started beating his legs with a baseball bat. He never woke up. He just woke up the next Morning and had no clue why he had bruises all over his legs.

[@lilacopeland9624]

Myself and my boyfriend slept though 6 fire trucks. All the neighbors beating on windows. We lived in the country and were burning an old couch. Fire department came and put out fire. Yelled at us and atta give us a ticket. They left we went to bed. At about 3am it blasted into flames again. So they wanted to wake us to yell at us again. Glad I was asleep.

[@markcarpenter6020]

@@lilacopeland9624 well one thing I've noticed is people that snore tend to be harder to wake up than other people. I don't have any science backing it up but I think it has to do with lack of oxygen(sleep apnea )while they sleep. It causes them to sleep "deeper" than people who don't snore

[@denisehagwood4542]

A baseball bat? He slept through a beating with a baseball bat? Sounds like he's a drunk, not just a heavy sleeper.

[@markcarpenter6020]

@@denisehagwood4542 nope that just how he has been since a teen ( he has sleep apnea). He even bought a special alarm clock that puts out around 100-110 decibels when it goes off. (I can only describe it as ear shattering if you are in the room with it when it goes off) And he was known to sleep though it. He once had his neighbors complain cause he slept through the alarm and it woke them up.

[@SuperGravyMan]

The first time our dog spent the night in my room, she woke up my parents downstairs whining to get out, but I slept through the whole thing

I don’t think they were ‘in on’ the killing but they’re stories are hinky. That’s why people think they’re hiding something.

Happy "That Chapter Friday" true crime viewers! Usually I'm getting ready for my night shift right about now and have to wait until the morning to watch the episode but I've gotten front row seats tonight baby. "Let's give it a Goo!"

Hi Mike. This is an interesting case : "Erica Alonso, 27, is not a homicide victim, authorities said, after a toxicology report showed she had drugs and alcohol in her system." She was found wrapped in plastic. I live local in the area if you need some help. Thanks

bro it sounds like you commmitted the murder lol

Adrian from Coffeehouse Crime told me to check ✔️ out your channel alittle over a year ago and I'm glad he did. Your intro, the content , the videos,and the way you tell the story is AWESOME. I love the way you say three & garage lol. It's a good lol. And I will definitely buy THE CHAPTER SHIRT. You should make a shirt that says "Let's Give It A Goo" just an idea. You're awesome MIKE.
