Found it interesting that Dr. Grande was so blunt about Travis. Usually people treat the deceased w/ kid gloves, like “oh they lit up a room” and “they were the nicest person ever.” Meanwhile Dr. Grande was just like “yeah he was pretty unattractive and shallow”

[@zenawarrior7442]

I agree. Always found Travis to be highly narcissistic and weird. He didn't deserve to die but he abused her too verbally.

[@dirtysanchez941]

I appreciate Dr. Grande's speculation of Travis. Don't get me wrong?! However, he was a grown man, and he kept going for the sex.. He was a little full of himself about his "religious beliefs." He was being a hypocrite. His friends even knew, and lightly warned him. He was definitely using her, and probably understood that he was just taking what he wanted. I suppose no one saw a violent, overkill would be an outcome. Let this be a lesson, people. It could happen to either sex. I knew a person that wanted to be with me, and was married. He insisted vaginal sex was a no-no it was apparently okay to do just about everything else. 🤮 Luckily, I'm not insane or borderline personality or a murderer. I knew when he said that to me, what HE was all about. Excellent video, and speculation by Dr. Grande. Travis wasn't an angel. No, he did NOT deserve to be slaughtered.

Meh, she was and remains a drama Queen. She could have just as easily broken things off as he could yet she didn’t. She played him as much as he played her. As far as Jodie wanting a serious relationship that is speculation. Her idea of serious relationships seems to be drama fueled. It sounds to me like a regular relationship was too boring. Instead the highs and lows of the endless breakups and reconciliations is what she liked. Once the butterflies wore off the only way to keep the high is from relationship drama. And she found it with this guy. He was a jerk, no question, but she wasn’t being led down some primrose path.

They are normal people with shortcomings like the rest of us a lot of the time.

I'm sure women out there have had the same experiences with certain men. She was pretty and willing and he used her instead of realizing that she was unstable, or maybe realizing it but not caring because she let him do whatever he wanted to her. You avoid those kind of people, you don't take advantage of them, because every once in a while they turn a bite.

[@vonholley]

This was excellent. I always wanted someone to tap into his psyche. She’s nuts for sure, but he kept playing with her.

[@kam0406]

I agree. What happened to Travis is horrific and I do not want to take anything away from her heinous crime. But to place all the blame on Jodi is perhaps a little unbalanced. Jodi was imbalanced. She wanted Travis and was sent mixed messages. Travis was using Jodi for purely sexual pleasure but Jodi still held out hope that she could somehow get this man to marry her. Neither one was able to be objective. Travis should have told Jodi he was only using Jodi for sexual gratification and ended things. But instead,, he led Jodi on and in her mind, she thought sex was the way into creating a relationship with Travis. The day Jodi murdered Travis, Jodi had sex with him believing she would change Travis' mind about taking another woman to Mexico. In Jodi's mind, hot sex had the power to control a man and when she found out this wasn't the case, she snapped and went into a rage. At that moment she likely felt used and felt she had lost any control over this man. She suddenly flew into a psychopathic rage and lost complete control. She wanted to destroy this object who she once had loved so dearly. And she did. This case is so sad to me. I think a lot of people demonize Jodi and that is understandable. The murder was brutal. But can a person be driven to murder? In some cases, yes. I don't think it excuses Jodi in any way and I think her sentence is just, but I can see there were a series of circumstances that led up to this. I hope, if nothing else, both men and woman can learn from this. I hope those in the lds church do not promote a culture where it is okay to use non Mormon woman for sexual gratification while waiting for the "right" virgin to come along. I hope that men and women realize a toxic relationship can become dangerous and will seek help before anything close to this ever happens again.

Unpopular comment for the sake of reality: I was born and raised into the Mormon church and left in my late 20's. Being raised in this culture seriously distorts your ability to understand or relate to finding a healthy path to normal sexuality. Sexual abuse is rampant (I endured child sexual abuse myself and my abuser served a full 20 year prison sentence) even avoiding that level of trauma, taking about sexuality related subjects/issues is beyond taboo in the LDS church. *Questions about sex are usually limited to doctrinal or procreative matters* Mormons are often raised in a way that leaves them sexually stunted in terms of pleasure, but encouraged to "procreate with very little boundary". It's a very confusing lifestyle that perpetuates a sexual abusive nature, in my opinion.

[@camimons470]

Travis felt trapped. In his writings to her he said he couldn’t get away. He felt disaster was coming. She delivered it. He wanted to continue using her while trying to find a suitable wife. She made a fool of herself in front of his LDS friends. He couldn’t marry her due to clinging, crazy behavior. Both of them were disturbed. He predicted that she would kill him. What a trap both got themselves into.

[@cassiemontgomery45]

I attended BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. I met many young men like Travis. They like to have a behind the scenes chick while courting an LDS girl publicly. Some of them purposely pick converts or girls who aren't serious about the church to have on the side. I suppose it's easier to talk a girl into sexual activity if she doesn't come from a solid LDS family. Travis absolutely did not deserve to be butchered and I hope he and his family find some semblance of peace. However, guys like Travis are fairly common amongst that scene and he picked the most wrong woman to be his "side piece".

I've been in the same position as jodi, I was a side piece while he was looking for "marriage material" ladies. I wasn't even aware because we lived in different cities and i worked full time while he had no fixed job and lived off his parents. When things started to get fishy and i tried to get away he would pull me back and then drop and then comeback while trying to convince that my anxiety was overtaking and I was "imagining things". It was horrible, every other week would have confrontations where he would try to gaslight me and i would start another week of work drained. He messed so much with my head that i ended up sick, lost my job, my apartment, and on my way falling down he discarded me like shit. Unlike Jodi I became severely depressed and suicidal, locked in a mental ward and kicked out of his country and guess what? They wanted to give me a BPD diagnosis. It's a horrible feeling to be used and lied and played just for his entertainment because for some reason i wasn't good enough him, but enough for his emotional and sexual needs. People have feelings, emotional pain hurts as much as physical pain and this case could have ended with my own death, but he definitely ruined my life, my self esteem, my sense of reality. with jodi and travis case both lives were lost.

Just to make this clear; I'm not victim blaming. Travis Alexander did not deserve to be murdered and that is that. I do question what he thought would end up happening; Travis was aware of Jodi's obsession with him and her insecurities, and Travis himself was very emotionally abusive and manipulative towards Jodi. Again, he didn't deserve to be murdered and I certainly wouldn't expect him to think that Jodi murdering him was a possibility, but he must have known that this wasn't a healthy relationship and yet he continued to see her while displaying behavior that is antagonistic and would cause psychological harm to the person he is inflicting it on. It's like playing with fire in my opinion. RIP, Travis.

I mean, when a woman dates a guy that ends up killing her we don't say things like "Not blaming her but she was aware that he had insecurities and was obsessed with her. She was playing with fire."

Your explanation was profound, complex, yet clearly rendered. Terrific.

"Apparently unaware of the idea of a key."😄🤣 The dry humor is over the top. It's amazing how Dr. Todd Grande collects and shares information so neatly.

travis wasn't THAT ugly? the good doctor talks about him like he was the elephant man or something.

[@johnhonker437]

Yeah, I think somebody has a crush on Jodi. Typical weird doctor... I mean, Travis is better looking that Dr. Grande.

[@Simply_Sadie]

This shocked me, too. This was Inaccurate and unprofessional.

[@Sarablueunicorn]

Travis was chunky and had floppy legs when they met. Theres a video of him doing the chicken dance and i feel embarrassed, definitely not attractive. We just see his face photos and he's ok and when dressed hes well covered, but as doctor mentioned he started working out and losing weight to have more options. When he met Jodi he wasn't considered an attractive dude. Jodi was his ego boost to the point he cheated one girl he was dating...ahh not a good guy.

Automatic +15 point bonus for comment using the elephant man! 😂

[@nancyjones6780]

One of the ads that interrupted your video had the prominent words MOODY! IRRITABLE ! PMS! I almost choked on my coffee 🤣 Really interesting information, Dr.G. I know the case pretty well but didn't have all the finer details of Jodi's life and romances. Great deep dive! 💜

You always put an informative video out and also a different twist on it. Thank you Dr. Grande. ☮️

Also, a very balanced review. Thank you Dr. Grande; this was quite a “case” (of two personality cases). Only speculating, but definitely analyzing. Good research.
