When the detective asked him "Do you always look at people through eyebrows", it also cracked me up 😂 I bet the detectives were very uncomfortable doing this interrogation

[@eapinkerton17]

I came here to say that. It was funny when he randomly made the eyebrow comment that's why the kid laughed. He just had a super dry sense of humor being completely distanced from reality. He also laughs in thr dr Phil interview when he describes the sound it made when he hit his mom. It makes sense them someone that empty inside would think a noise that (no harm intended) sounded sillier than he expected would be funny to him. This is catatonic schizophrenia, that's what it looks like.

Smirking = thinks he is smarter than anyone and think he is "cool". Read psychology books. It can also be Schizophrenie. These people are truly innocent and were not themselves at all. They have too much dopamine. Which leads to overstimulation = seeing and thinking sh*t. When they get meds that lower dopamine, they are just normal humans and should be let free.

I believe him about the childhood rape. It happened to my little brother, my parents didn't believe him, but my sisters and I did. His behavior after was violent, he didn't shower for months and screamed and cried when my mom made him shower. My sisters and I did our best to comfort him in his rages. He didn't get violent with us girls, but did with our parents because of anger that he should of been protected by my parents and most importantly he should of had that chance that his own parents would believe him. He developed what his counselor called trauma, ptsd, and bi polar disorder. After my brothers funeral because he was involved in a car accident from drinking and driving my mother told us she went to his counselor to visit about some things. His counselor told my mom she wasn't surprised because after he was raped at age 9 he started developing a behavior of not caring because he felt that he wasn't cared about by the most important people to him. His mommy and daddy. It was definitely wrong of this young man to kill his mother, he should be imprisoned for life, but the thing is how was his mother's reaction towards his accusations? I bet anything it was one of her lovers she had after the dad passed away. Trauma seriously can ruin a person's life. I advise everyone to take the information from this video and be a voice for children who are susceptible to molestation, rape by a live in family member, friend of the family, etc.... never leave a child with anybody you think you could trust.

Too bad his pops died that early in his life..also of ALS - thats a martyr's death right there. Probably scarred the kid for life. I know the struggle because my dad passed away from the same thing...watching your parent slowly lose his body, ending up barely talking and then finding him dead..its hard to deal with..even for an adult. But im a nearly 40y adult, and a trained medic and the kid was 9 when he was witnessing his dad slowly dissolving into nothingness. And then being raped at 11. Damn. His particular taste in the videogames and the books he was interested in suggests a very smart kid...who was left to search on the internet on how to deal with his illnes.

All of them cause health complications. The teen boy was most likely the person who possibly initiated not taking the meds and the health-conscious mom decided to go along with that. Did that get her killed? I think it's the lack of needed mental health support in this country that killed her just as much as her son did. This mother needed resources she didn't have access to and this kid needed to know how to deal with his illness/s...and teens like to deal with very personal embarrassment causing ordeals on their own.

It is insulting when somebody tells you that what you know you experience, is not real! So he found himself betrayed by the only two people present in his world. That must feel really bad ! Horrible, even! Our bodies, mind included, when experience extreme levels of pain , reaching max limit, emotional pain included, our bodies and mind , goes numb, in an effort of self preservation. So he experienced that when he was 11, for gods sakes ! Oh my dear God, how vulnerable and how terribly bad this kid felt ! He start feeling hate and have a desire to give himself justice and the idea of killing them both start catching roots.He start reading those books , to learn how to do it !

Can you imagine being a mom who refused to do the #1 thing a mom should do, protect her child and fight for him?

Being raped is one thing but telling someone you trust and they refuse to believe you, you’re forced to go through that situation on your own (especially at that age), that’s something you resent everyone for. Judging by the childhood pictures, he stopped smiling and looked completely emotionless after about 11 years old. I have no doubts that’s when the schizophrenia kicked in. Parents of sexually abused children tend to refuse to believe their children and then “baby” them their entire lives. Not saying his actions are justified at all, I’ve been through this and have no intention of harming anyone. But the resentment mixed with the schizophrenia turned him into a beast.

My cousin came in to visit us from out of town, and we all knew that she had some mental problems, including possible schizophrenia, or psychosis. She put the nail in the coffin for us when we were all going to bed. She came by each room and warned us that if she was Accused of killing us in our sleep that she would not remember it in the morning because the person that she hears in her head sometimes leaves for a while and when he comes back, he always tells her to do some crazy off the wall stuff. She then said good night, I love you. Yeah we all woke up and stayed awake watching her. We were all glad it was for only one night she came to visit.

Ever since Dr Phil interviewed this dude years ago I've been dying to know more! Thank you

Ooooh it's THAT dude!

I remember that one, too! It was deeply disturbing.

Me too!

It's safe to say that Zachary is a master loser.

[@johnking9942]

That he broke character when told he looked evil is a big clue as to why he murdered. Zak is certainly a socially compromised individual, but he is not stupid. All his hard work, research and effort to become an expert on serial killers paid off when the interrogator acknowledged his expertise by saying he looked evil. That made him smile. It was true recognition of his abilities. Aside from that, all I could think of was the movie Sling blade. I wonder if he had ever seen that movie because it is a very good imitation of that character.

He's playing a charachter, obviously planned it, one real sick bastard.

Lolol expert in serial killing.. killed one person and thought walking a main road out of town would be his escape. Auditions for Sling blade while being interrogated. Yeah suuuuper smart 🙄

I knew a kid in school who was eerily like Zachary. I always thought he seemed one push away from crazy. Seeing this makes me wonder how right i was.

[@LassetUnsSpielen]

Don't talk about me like that

1 minute in and I'm freaked out. That kids demeanor has got to be one of the most disturbing things I've seen.

This whole thing is tragic. It’s sad to see the pictures of them both as little boys. So innocent snd sweet, only for one of them to grow up to be so horrific.

[@IZaubermausI]

But if you look at the photos, Zachary always has a strange expression in his face…

[@UmatsuObossa]

Zachery never looks innocent and sweet. His eyes are empty even when he's smiling.

[@avocadoo4387]

You idiots never listen to both sides of the story. His older brother is not a sweet angel that you guys portray him as. He rxped Zachary when he was younger

[@UmatsuObossa]

@@avocadoo4387 That claim is completely unsubstantiated. You're taking the word of a sociopath, a murderer, and a proven liar and claiming it as fact with ZERO evidence....and then have the gall to call US idiots.

[@UmatsuObossa]

@@blachbird067 You have absolutely no proof Josh lied. They NEVER said there was evidence that JOSH touched her. Moreover, he seems pretty unsure whether or not he even did, as obviously he was in shock.

[@jordannas.2149]

How can someone think that people that takes antipsychotics do? They can smile genuinely, they laugh consciously, a side effect of the medications they are given is called paradoxical laughter and they become insensitive, these medications destroy their lives and when they stop taking them they lose control of their actions and thoughts. These are consequences of the evil system and the medical industry.

"Why did you change your shirt?" "It had pieces of my mother's brain stuck to it." That was the point I had to pause the video and take a break. The way he said that in that creepy voice gave me some major heebie-jeebies.
