Detective Realizes the Witness is Actually the Killer

Brad McGarry and David Kinney were best friends living in Bellaire, Ohio. When a disturbing discovery was made in Brad's basement, David was the one to find him. The investigation spun out from there, and detectives would learn Brad and David's relationship was much more than best friends.

Dude is a monster bro. Straight up monster. Not only a murderer, but knowingly letting your wife and kid find ur victim.

[@judy-9999]

@justinknight8281 Yes, I agree with your comment. ✅ IMO, it might not make a difference in his sentence, BUT I would definitely like to see *child endangerment added* on to his charges because as a part of his crime of murder, he also endangered his OWN CHILD 😮. That is a thing HE DID & his peers in prison should be aware of this. 🤨

Absolutely

[@indyjoy5780]

What an evil monster, his poor wife was so distraught on the phone to the cops, what a coward to send her in first putting her through that horror, and taking his daughter knowing what was in there. That was a good judge, throwing the book at him.

I’ll never understand parents like this who are so willing to traumatise their child in this manner, and I’m a child abuse survivor who’s seen some horrors on this earth. I just cannot wrap my head around sending your child to go and find the body, the body of someone she knows, someone who’s close to the family, knowing she’ll live with that image forever and battle that trauma for life.

[@Seymole]

He was afraid of his family finding out he was having an affair with a man but didn’t think about what they’d think of him as a murderer. What a senseless tragedy, not only for the family of the victim, but for the kids that now don’t have a dad, no matter how bad of a dad he might have been.

[@HeatherHolt]

Not having a dad is better than having a dad who is a killer and cared so little of you, he sends you in to find a dead body. They’re better off never even remembering his name or face. So very sad bc all children deserve parents but not all parents deserve kids.

sounds like he was blackmailing the guy saying he was going to tell his wife. He admitted that to his friends.

[@realfingertrouble]

@@KarmicSalt there is no proof he was actually blackmailing him.

[@KathyHussey063]

I don't think he cared what anyone thought of him or cared about his kids much at all, he just didn't want to lose the alimony, child support money &/or the house he'd lose IF Brad kept talking about "DJ" & his wife figured it out. He thought that guy's life was not as important as him facing the consequences of his own choices..... His cheating and betrayal was gong to cost him other things too: a wife who probably did everything all the housework, child care & raising of them, all the shopping, cooking and taking care of HIS emotions, plus losing the full control over his kid's lives....all of that gone plus having to part with a big percent of his income. H/e wanted someone else to pay for wghat he chose to do, ...narcissistic , this guy is.

Pretty much saved me from being completely bored out of my mind the whole time, while also giving me this strangely calming feeling of knowing there’s a whole community of Mike fans who are intensely interested in hearing crime stories.

Thanks Mike for doing a better job than my damn local news!!!

[@laurieleannie]

That’s insane!

[@user-mc9qh9xc6v]

I thought that area would be conservative. Plenty of people capable of taking Brad out like this as a hate crime...David might have got away with it if he hadn't shown up to "find" the body, putting the spotlight on himself, and if Brad hadn't been quite so infatuated with DJ (if the secret had been better kept). There's something about the rather empty slightly run-down streets of the US's former industrial towns that I find really appealing... possibly not so much if you actually have to live there? I live in one of the most deprived, gang and drug areas of NZ so what the heck. Thanks for your post 😀

[@makeshift_battlefield_music]

Brad may or may not have made such a threat, we will never know, but David's fear about being outed as bisexual or his wife finding out about the affair was clearly (my opinion) the motive in this case. SOMETHING had to happen to make David believe that killing Brad was the only way to keep the secret, so it is plausible in my mind that SOMETHING happened to make David think killing Brad was the only option, because David is a coward. It is actually very plausible that the kernel of truth is that whether or not Brad said he would reveal the secret, at the very least, David believed he would.

I've seen this case a couple times and it disgusts me every time. David is a horrible person. He knew he killed Brad but allowed his daughter to go in first to "find" the dead body he knew was there, then let his wife see and call the police. David should've also been charged with a hate crime. This whole tragedy happened because David didn't want to be outed and I believe he used Brad for his self-gratification and ditched him until "next time." I wish every victim a cousin like this lady.

Thanks Mike, for bringing us another interesting story, really appreciate all that you do ❤️😊

I'm walking across the Ohio River while listening to this. Nice to be represented, even if it is all about a killer.

I thought it looked like a cool place, and I loved how Mike talked about the hills... hello UncleFranklin from me here in NZ 😀

WALKING...... no bridge?????????????? I'm fairly certain the reason cats hate water is because they are convinced they should be allowed to walk across it and don't understand why they can't.

Isn’t Bellaire the onetime home of the Candlewick glass factory?

[@user-mc9qh9xc6v]

@@freden9234 Yes - opened in 1904 in Bellaire, part of the glory days, ironically also going strong in the 1930s during the Great Depression. It was part of the Imperial Class Company and closed in 1984. There is a road named after it in Bellaire. Pieces still very collectible.

sometimes I wonder if I am a little off because I look forward to my weekly murder videos. Better not to get lost in your own thoughts. Great work as always!!!!

[@user-wm3bf7pi3u]

The worst part is when you hit critical mass and have seen all these stories dozens of times, then you start hoping for a really gruesome one involving soy sauce and paperclips that you've never heard of.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

@@user-wm3bf7pi3u - I know how you feel. I listen to four or five of these channels. I recommend "The Casual Criminalist" podcast as it is lighter and as someone else writes the script he learns the story as he reads and comments on what is happening and guesses the outcome. It's a little less dry like Mike. There are a few won there which were new to me as one of his writers is Italian and one Brazilian. That MrBallen guy I know realise just makes shit up. He takes the story and just changes it to make it more dramatic and interesting. I think he'll get exposed eventually as some of it is really bad.

Mike , you have a great talent . Thank you for sharing it . Happy New Year ! 💜

[@scottstuerke4560]

Hi Mike. Want to let you know that I look forward to your channel every day. I just got diagnosed with cancer about 2 months ago. These older stories have helped me stay out of my head. Thank you. I’ll post weekly.

[@kristinwojtowich8902]

I wish you all the best, and hope for your healing ❤❤❤

"How'd he manage that?" - His wife trusted him. You can lie to people who trust you pretty easily, while the rest of the world will immediately see your lies.

This right here is why you don’t mess with married people. You never know what someone will do to cover their tracks.

[@nickyjones867]

Poor Brad bless him. Also the poor wife has just found out her husband was cheating on her with a man and he is a murderer as well. Her whole marriage was a lie

[@maverickblah]

@Jennifurrball it's all so tragically useless. Instead of having a difficult but liberating talk and handling it to move forward, he ended a life, traumatized his own wife and daughter probably for life, and deeply hurt everyone around. Instead of just saying "yeah we are in love". Completely, completely useless.

[@sandrafaith]

It's possible David was bi; does not make the marriage a lie any more than if he'd had an affair with a woman. I honestly think David was afraid what others would think of him. Possible that Brad did want to end it and David assumed that meant Brad was going to tell David's wife or, well, _anyone_ else.

[@thegreencat9947]

Most marriages are full of falsehoods.😮😯

[@RoosChristina]

@@sandrafaithhim possibly being bi doesn’t make it any less of a lie. It makes it a lie bc he cheated and is a murderer. Not bc the person he cheated with happens to be a guy. And then letting them find the body… takes a special kind of narcissist to pull that. I feel so sorry for that family. Sad thing is these people are all around us and you’d never know unless you are the victim or if things come crashing down.

Mike, you've been instrumental in surviving these last couple of years. Without your "give it a go" I would've done give up and died of cancer. Still having a hard time assemilating you without glasses, but I'll take it in turn for new episodes. Have a most fantastic 2024, we appreciate what you do and how you entertain us. Thanks to you I can walk again!

One recurring theme in all these stories: the criminal is NEVER as smart as they believe themselves to be.

[@madenee2612]

This is what keeps me on this side of any of these types of charges. I absolutely do not think or believe for even one moment I could outsmart a detective. Not one moment in any realm of space or time 😅😂

Bc honestly we never hear about the cases where the killer IS as smart as they believe - they got away with it. That’s a scary thought!
