Holy crap!!! I don't even know where to start with all the holes in his story, not to mention his body language, his misplaced details and more. Brilliant interview. Narcissists truly believe they're smarter than everyone else in the room. As awful as the circumstances are, this is true crime gold.

[@valerierodger]

Everybody reacts differently. He wouldn't be the first person to lose loved ones and to turn it into a crusade for mental health or other awareness. The police have cleared him, there is no evidence against him, and yet everybody is willing to condemn him because they don't like his tone. And probably because it is still easier to believe that a man is capable of murder than a woman, even though we have multiple high profile examples of female family annihilators.

There’s more emotion talking about the divorce than there is about finding the kids.

[@xandra_LK]

Also he didn’t actually talk about his kids… she prompted him to speak about his children for their memory and he said nothing about them… we’ve seen a lot of these cases where a mother does this, and I’ve never seen the father just NOT talk about his kids when asked. What they like, things they’ve told them, their personality, a fond memory, etc. Could mean nothing nefarious… but on top of everything else, it just feels like he can’t talk about them on a psychological level because he is hiding something. Because we’ve seen THAT before too. It’s clearly not because he’s too emotional at the thought of his children. This is the first time I’ve felt suspicious and so uneasy about the father after one of these tragic crimes has occurred. I see some people acting like everyone just WANTS him to be guilty because he’s the estranged husband aka the MAN, but honest to God there is just something so off about this guy. If he wasn’t there, he wasn’t there… but I cannot shake the feeling that he may have been behind it. Wouldn’t be the first time, man or woman.

@@carolvarney9244 I understand that it’s your opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But its definitely doesn’t make your opinion a smart one.🤷‍♂️

[@Bess9779]

I'll wait on the forensics, but going to the media to talk more about what a crappy person she was & how great he was, with minimum mention of his children is in bad taste regardless.

[@KaylasVerse]

Agreed 👌🏼 Pretty red flag-ish.

[@14elvira14]

Yeah, revealing details of the divorce is probably not a good thing..

[@jadeinthewoods]

Right away I got an off feeling from this guy. He had a tiny smile at the beginning of this interview and it gave me the creeps. His story is so detailed, like he rehearsed it. He’s cold when he tells it and he blames everything on his wife. She had a restraining order against him and she was trying to flee to Utah to get away from him. He tried to paint her as the aggressor when he broke into the house where she was living and came in through a window! SHE called the police and I don’t believe for a second that he didn’t know about the restraining order. I don’t know why he’s doing this interview other than him wanting to control public opinion. It’s not making him look good. I’d bet money that he’s the one responsible for their deaths.

[@mistiemerritt6376]

I couldn't AGREE with YOU MORE!!! The second it started that look told me EVERYTHING I needed to know. I felt it in my gut but gave him the chance but it never got better for him. I pray he is held accountable 🙏🙏🙏

[@rld1278]

He had notes he was reading from. He scripted it out...

[@45TRUMP47]

Dupers Delight!

[@AC-mp7cx]

The man is always blamed

[@Lopezflies888]

I'm two minutes in and I automatically thought she strangled herself? How do you strangle yourself? And right when they interviewed him and asked why he's doing this he said we need to talk about mental illness and is very defensive about it. I am almost 50 and never heard of anybody strangling themselves. And yes, I caught the " Duping delight" too.

[@oxsamanthacx]

How does one strangle themselves 🤔

[@joeterp5615]

This guy lost me quickly with his story - he didn’t see movement in the house, so he “drilled out the door locks?” That is not normal. That’s an awfully strong reaction to a house being quiet! No, that’s just a poor cover story to explain his actions. I’m like most others here, I think this guy murdered his wife and kids. Sick.

[@Ocyla]

Right. More like "how dare that B change the locks on me, I'll SHOW HER!"

[@EdgarAllanGo]

If she did in fact do this, he is a very weird character. He is smirking, not making eye contact and doesn’t even seem sad. The fact he needs to “back up” to talk about it is weird. The host did an amazing job with the interview.

[@baroquefiddle4790]

I agree, he seems very sketchy, my 28 year old sister died in tragic circumstances and I was very distressed and traumatised for a long time. That was 5 years ago and it still hurts. I wonder had munchausen by proxy?

[@peasndough]

He seems worn down to me. I think he's innocent

[@BrittniKent]

@@ramblinman23 I mean .... I won't commit to that opinion just yet bc I would like to know more evidence from the crime scene and any statements he makes to police but yeah... plenty of red flags in this one interview

[@whatdidijustsee9338]

Suspicious overload

[@dianahorton8753]

I hope the police department hasn't closed this case yet.

[@carolallison9685]

From a fox news article: "But my daughter was fighting my wife, and, so, she cut her throat then put her back under the water," Derek said." How would he know that? How would he know his daughter was fighting? Also, he came in through the back door, which were french doors, so im assuming glass doors. If he believed there was an emergency, why didn't he just break the glass instead of drilling out the deadbolt? Normal people dont think to drill out a lock. Normal people go through a window or they call the police for a welfare check. You know who drills out a deadbolt? People trying to break into a home in the middle of the night unnoticed.

[@vj8406]

Yeah, that doesn’t make any sense. I think he would have called his wife first and let her know that he’s in the driveway or send a text message. Something like that before removing a deadbolt. I always thought it was strange how he said the deadbolt or something hit the ground and made a loud noise. Miscellaneous random info.

[@elizabethbassler1211]

Exactly. And why did he sl act worried the day before while he was there no elders welfare check from police, breaks in on his own when he had a protective order against him. This pos killed her and those babies and he is victim blaming while she can't defend herself?? Why is he not locked up??? Chris watts all over Again

[@Baratheon.]

drilling out the door deadbolt (around 4minutes in) is when i knew he was guilty. Nobody does that, you call for a welfare check, or try hop in without breaking in. This will be an alimony and child support case. she got custody and he probably has his income all sapped, hence wanting them dead

[@kimberlytrethewey8130]

A door lock is cheaper than a window 🤷🏼‍♀️….

[@kbc1883]

And he recalled and shared that bizarre extraneous detail of the lick hitting the floor and making a loud sound. Why else would you recall that detail unless you were trying to be very quiet and go unnoticed?

[@nolagirl7082]

HE DID IT!!!! Most husbands who have just lost their wife and children to a brutal murder, don’t find the need or time to voluntarily come on tv to try and “explain themselves”

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

Exactly

[@liarliar7491]

Nor do the struggle to hide their smirk

[@relaxationandsleep759]

Yes no sadness or responsibility. Just finger pointing feels wring. Something isn't right. I hope her family tells what happened.

[@FaEa680]

Yah he seems pretty calm for “finding” his wife and children d**d!

[@JoAnntheLordsdecipleandseer]

His detail is right on point very strange

[@ashleym8697]

He doesn't say the kids names or talk about how much he misses them/how much he loves them, he seems disconnected. He spends more time talking about his wife being on her phone and talking about her in a negative light 😢😒 he doesn't seem to be grieving one bit, just trying to convince everyone that his wife did this. So tragic.

[@user-ov4wr5yu4r]

I think he said the girl was Mia. But he drilled out the locks without calling or knocking first. He didn't request the police to welfare check. He knew to look in the closet right after the bathtub. She strangled herself?!?! 🧐That's a bit difficult to do. He speaks mostly about a contentious divorce and custody battle. Yet he doesn't seem that broken up about the kids.

[@Gregory-pq4ie]

Strangled herself, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard

[@sookie4195]

How would you do that???

[@Cherno-Tekknobyl]

i mean . . . epstein . . . so it definitly has to be true
