I used to facilitate a women's support group. I'll never forget a woman who wasn't able to shake her stalker. Long story short, the only thing that got him off her back was him finding another woman to stalk. In other words, the matter was resolved by his actions and by nothing she did...which was quite a lot. It was very unnerving for her and everyone in my group. Sad.

[@triggabun]

I had a situation that started with a co worker. I had to move a few times and to date I take extraordinary measures to hide my home address. It's crazy how someone can have tunnel vision.

Once they’ve done the act of killing them and the “rush” of it fades away, they try to relive that same “high” by either abusing their body or dismembering it. Also they don’t want to get caught and if they’re willing to actually take a life out of this world I don’t think dismemberment is necessarily out of the picture for many people who don’t want to get caught

Defense lawyer here. These detectives were not only trying to get the confession from Stephen, but also trying to get Stephen to act as crazy and as not believable as possible. Although they failed to get a confession, they successfully trapped Stephen into maintaining his creepy and motionless behavior for hours. The state attorney / public prosecutor would only need to play the interrogation tape again in court and it would be a nightmare to convince the jury of anything at all. Stephen was so not believable and not credible that even with weak circumstantial evidence, Stephen would be more than likely ended up in jail regardless of the strategy of the defense team.

Thank you Dr. Grande! I am a police officer and have conducted numerous interrogations. The behaviour McDaniel displays still makes me scratch my head. It’s like he’s reverting to a childlike state because he is afraid of the consequences of his actions. Not to armchair quarterback but there wasn’t enough of a rapport building phase to get around the character McDaniel was playing. I suspect the reason the detective thanked him for his cooperation was to make it seem like the abusive language was an investigative technique. Shocking as it sounds, how the interview ends does effect admissibility . I doubt anyone could have gotten him to talk though, possibly a female interviewer could have gotten a little further with a soft voice.

[@ember1794]

I agree a female, possibly a bit like Lauren, just chit-chatting with him "inbetween interviews" like the police-woman in one of Dr. Grande's other videos (will check which) and taking an interest in his life, what he loves about collecting swords, what was so nice about Lauren etc. but with no apparent interest to trap him would possibly have had a lot more success

I find a lot of the symptoms to overlap, but would like to hear from a professional what you believe. Also, could you do a video on autism (especially the “ Aspergers” side of autism, yes I know they formally removed that label) and how those symptoms can be similar to personality disorders.

I believe the emotion from the interview was “ bouts of hyperventilation, turned forcefully into raw emotions at the same time, trying to finish his objective of misleading away from her apartment and him. After hearing that the body was found in the parking lot, he was the one who placed it there, he walks away, sits down and hyperventilates. He goes back and has several more hyperventilation type spells, especially if/ when the body is mentioned/ or thought about. His emotion came from being scared about the fact she was discovered. His interview/ interrogation was zombie like because he has trained for cutting off any and all emotion and leads to give himself away. I personally feel that he intended to chike her unconciuos, do sexual acts of some sort, then leave. The fact that he had to kill her because she fought so hard, caused him to go to his apartment and assess how to handle the next part( which he clearly knew if she did die, he would dismember her, hence he had to go back to his apartment to open the hacksaw, he then returned, moved her to the tub, dismembered and disposed of her in such a manner that her body would have been long gone away before her dicovery of disappearance. The other fact I really grasped was that he had recorded her room, and if anything had been displaced during the struggle, he was able to put everything back into place afterwards. This is why he videoed her room hours before he entered her apartment. This was well planned with backup to every scenario, in my opinion. Just to note: tonight was the first time I heard of this, only watched the taped interview from news reporter, and the interrogation video one time each! now I will watch the appeals hearing video!

[@goodintentionslifecoaching]

Such a sad case! Thank you Doc for another great analysis! I think I can speak for all your subs when I say we appreciate the hard work you put into your video’s!! 👏

[@bwendy2]

Don't think I could say, " enjoyable" but fascinating and explained very well. This case was quite frightening.

[@xxProjectJxx]

The news interview is what really got me. You can see his entire world shatter before his eyes. He knows he's screwed.

[@chewygal69]

The look on his face when he was told a body was found was priceless! I thought he was going to pass out. His behavior at the precinct was strange, but I think he was trying to do an insanity defense.

[@sandrag3854]

I saw Stephen's interrogation on YT and it was effectively unnerving. It takes a lot of dedication to remain seated in one position and maintain constant eye contact like he did. I believe this was deliberate rather than a coping mechanism. Also, he could have left or asked for a lawyer at any time because this was an interview rather than an arrest. I think he was hoping he would find out how much they had figured out and what proof they had. Though he didn't get any details, it was a power play that I think he won. He did not confess or give the detectives any information.

[@martinhousemuse]

Investigators had found a journal entry of his: a hypothetical murder scenario in which he described feigning a dissociative state in order to land in a mental health facility instead of prison.

[@jasonmiles302]

I love Dr. G's delivery of the timelime and then the speculative mental health factors that could've caused the results of the subject. Dr. Grande belongs in Phil and Oz's time slots

[@laura2381]

Dr. Grande is too good for Dr Phil or Oz lol

[@annika_panicka]

This is one of the many times I'm grateful to Dr. Grande for not using video clips in his analyses. I've seen Stephen McDaniel's pre-arrest appearance on the local news one time too many. He will always be the creepiest person in any room. (Almost always - we do see a lot of deranged individuals on this channel.)

[@EricPetersen2922]

Don’t need to be a doctor to see this guy is a crime looking for a place to happen. Great video

[@sharosmith]

I hope the people who are watching your videos will become much more alert to their surroundings, if you think your home has been broken into, please take that serious! Don’t just blow it off, stay somewhere else. There are so many sick people out there watching and waiting to harm others. Laura Giddings life was taken in a horrific way: thank you Dr Grande, I truly enjoy your analysis

[@obasiokeke3629]

Exactly. Always trust your instincts.

[@billhildebrand5053]

Hi Dr. Grande, I’m interested in whether you could do an analysis in a crime incident in an Amish community where several women and a man were sent to jail for forcibly cutting the beard of a member. It would be interesting the type of personality profile these members have, and it would be especially interesting to try to do this without offending the community. Location is Bergholz, Ohio. Thankyou. I feel sorry about how you seem to endure vivid details ....I did not notice any bits of light or dark humor. 🌿 The Amish community seems to live a hidden life too, until it comes out into the open. They too engage in criminal behaviour... Interesting analysis, Dr.Grande 😄 Your worth supporting 🌿☘️🌿

[@polarbearsrus6980]

That video of him talking to the female reporter is priceless, I thought he was going to lose it. I also thought it was interesting how much his demeanor in the police interrogation deviated from the reporter interview. This was also a wake up call for me in that I used to keep the shades in my bedroom open at night until I went to bed.... those days are OVER!!!!!! Thanks for another awesome evaluation.

[@furiousape7717]

Can you analyze Travis Bickle from the movie Taxi Driver? Just like how you did with Michael Scott and Joker.

[@franmellor9843]

Good one!

[@stefanosprokopis3917]

Are taking to me? O

[@kmjr2400]

Definitely

[@hemprope4326]

Yeah yeah!

[@emmaphilo4049]

Yes!!!!!!!!

[@tyson211]

Great analysis! I agree with you that he seemed to be mimicking an emotional response during the tv interview. A lot of people think he was panicking because the police found the body but I think he expected they would find it. He was trying to act like someone who just discovered their friend was murdered so no one would suspect he was the one who murdered her.

[@ImHermanHearMeRoar]

I was literally just thinking about suggesting this case to you. It happened in my hometown

[@princesskitty896]

Dr grande has the best sense of humor ever. It’s like if you blink you’ll miss it jokes and I love that so much.

[@Youtube_Hivemind_Member]

Dr.Grande, did you recently discover Jim Can't Swim? I've been noticing a lot of your videos this month have lined up with stuff he's done and I LOVE IT! Watching one channel is a great supplement to the other - you get to watch entirely different perspectives on the cases both of you have covered it's great :D

[@brockwillis1979]

Ever since you mentioned your admiration for Kevin Nealon I can actually see a parallel in your humor, and tend to see you behind your desk bringing us some vintage "weekend update" moments when you give your witty retorts and dead panned sarcasm. I love it! I cant afford therapy at the moment Dr. G, so having access to your channel brings me insight, humor and education into true crime, mental health, human behavior, and unsolved mysteries/theories. I appreciate how you shed light on mental health topics; it's people like you that have assisted in mainstreaming the science and logistics behind mental health, allowing society to deshelf the idea that mental health is something shameful. Regardless of any trolls or keyboard warriors that ever say anything negative about you or your channel, just remember that you are bringing tons of people entertainment, education, and joy all wrapped into your videos. I'm a big fan, and I appreciate your efforts and channel very much. You deliver and layout possible theories structured by Occam's razor (the simplest explanation is usually the right one) even when some of the cases all have bizarre possibilities; I particularly appreciate your style because I tend to be one of those listeners that get so seduced by the mystery of a case, that my "theory" brain goes into over drive, and my "logical" brain goes autopilot. Just know that you are definitely contributing to mankind by sharing your wisdom, wit and expertise for people like me that want to find knowledge & entertainment in a streamline form. If and when you are ever having a hard day, or doubt yourself on any level, REMEMBER THIS POST....tons of people appreciate, respect and thank you for your hard work

[@Dancingonthesun]

"Outdo him for the creepiest person in the room award" Dr. Grande your dry wit always sneaks up on me, best take on the situation I've ever heard 😂😂

[@lucien4980]

I appreciate your insights. Your analysis's help me through my days at work.

[@mwheeler138]

And I must say its actually pretty impressive just how well Steven keeps so still and to give the police absolutely nothing. Sticking to "no", "yes" and "I don't know" - and saying in the most monotone and creepy way

[@lbthir13en]

Yes, pretty easy for someone with anti-social personality disorder, lol. This was all an act, and it worked, well, for the interview at least. Luckily they had all the evidence they needed. He wasn't as bright as he thought. The fantasy will always win over logic and being careful.

[@tongpoo8985]

How is that impressive lol

[@heidiho5179]

I love that your behavioral analysis and critical thinking also extends to the police. Many true crime videos just reinforce the popular belief that the division between “criminals” and the law abiding is vast. In reality, most of us break laws fairly routinely, and just haven’t been caught (jaywalking, borrowing medicine from a friend, drinking an alcoholic beverage in a solo cup at a picnic in the park, disregarding Covid curfew laws or motel laws about use for lodging only (no parties or guests during COVID-19), etc.

[@BassGirlSusan1961]

Dr Grande, would like to hear your thoughts on Jimmy Savile. Creepy would be a huge understatement!

[@Thankgot]

I fully agree hope he does one soon

[@zappawench6048]

Yes, that's a good suggestion. It's horrible that he never faced any consequences for his offences whilst he was alive.

[@saultarvitz2370]

I’ve been asking for that creepy bastard for time memorial.

[@Basauri48970]

Jimmy Savile is not a household name outside the UK (thankfully I must add). Maybe that's the reason why he hasn't done a video about him yet.

[@BassGirlSusan1961]

@@Basauri48970 He's pretty well known outside the UK for all the bad reasons. I am not in the UK

"Based on his performance in interrogating Stephen, this might have been the upper limit in his communication skills" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 again with the Grande zingers!!!

[@adriancaro6432]

I enjoy your videos, no fluff, get right to it without spending half the time wanting to hear your self talk like most you tubers, and I also enjoy that absolutely dry humor, thank you Dr Grande!

"Evidently trying to outdo him as the creepiest person in the room award" I really can't with Dr. Grande's sense of humor 🤣🤣🤣 he's humor goals for me, I love that

[@freewingpro]

It's so exhausting hearing about femicide time and time again. But we're here for the victims. Listening to their stories and the bastards that took their lives. Be aware. Protect each other. Educate yourself and your loved ones. Thanks Dr. Grande for always breaking it down for us.

[@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa]

I always love when Dr. Grande and Jim Can't Swim make a video on the same case. It just makes my day!!

[@aimeegwatney5662]

I always look forward to Dr. Grande’s dry and understated humor.👍😁

[@toneman335]

Dr Grande....I love your analysis and speculations on the motive and mindset of these criminals.

[@shaun_rambaran]

"Ein..." I'd say he had midrange Conscientiousness. He was dependable sometimes, and he sort of halfway planned his crime, but his endless 'mistakes' don't suggest he was as detailed as a person actually high in Conscientiousness. He's no Gary Ridgeway. He's no Russell Williams.

[@lbthir13en]

The "Ein..." part of his speech annoyed me so much. Unbearable to listen to.

[@jaykafcas4342]

Anybody ever think... Dr Grande would make a great human looking Super A.I..Robot?? Listen to the way he speaks, his AWESOME humor and the way he breaks things down. Love the show Dr🙏

[@Moleda1986]

“I guess he wanted a back up plan there.” I’m cracking up 😂

[@angelagak399]

Ah yes, I see you also watched his interrogation. Those two good ole boy cops were *clueless*! Two of the worst I've ever seen. They need to take a class with the officer who interrogated Canada's Russell Williams, Jim Smyth. That interrogation was pure genius!

[@zameermaqsood7670]

I always found this case so interesting, and I’m so glad you made a video about it. Also, could you do an analysis of the character Ben Chang from community?

[@uriuriuri]

Analysis of mental health & personality in the cops was the best part.

[@frances6827]

very interesting as I just saw this case on TV a few days ago; I wondered how he was able to graduate law school or even consider being a lawyer that anyone would like to consult with. Listening about the police detectives interviewing him, they need retraining.

[@suzanne5807]

This case fascinates me more than any other. I've watched every video on it I can find and every one who does it has a new perspective.

[@elisamastromarino7123]

When you watch the video of the news crew doing an interview with him, he calls to mind the guilty kid who does the overexplaining to the adults. There's a video I watched this last weekend that explains stalkers like him and uses him as the example. It's called _The Bizarre Case Of Stephen McDaniel._ It's pretty interesting for any one who wants to see inside the mind of stalkers like him. Thank you Dr Grande. As usual, your analysis of both him and the cops is spot on. 👍🌹

[@CharlestonTracy]

I watched this story on Dateline. It’s always haunted me. The police had to inform her parents they could not see her. It was horrific and heartbreaking! This guy is evil. From what I remember he cleaned up for court and he’s planning on appealing. Anyway, the Dateline is really good because they show her background. She was a very outgoing, friendly, energetic & caring person. So tragic what happened.

[@MissUofH]

Wooow I was just binge watching KZbin videos on this case wondering if Dr Grande has a video on this case! He read my mind!

First I watch the JCS video on the subject, then I watch Dr. Grande's analysis of the case

[@Seemashe]

Hi Doc, can you please do an personality and psychological analysis between the different type of killers comparing killers of crimes of passion who had no criminal records , opportunistic one off killers, killers of spouses, rage snappers one off killers ... that would be very interesting I think. Thanks

[@HelenaVanCity]

This video contains arguably the most elegantly-worded insults and ways of calling someone an idiot (and that someone ain't Stephen :))) Thank you, sir, for this wonderful commentary!

[@danielcervini2545]

Hello Dr. Grande. I enjoy your videos very much. Just an idea... something different... can you do an analysis on someone who has displayed boundless altruism? Maybe someone such as Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador, or Lieutenant Navy SEAL Michael Murphy? The question to analyze could be was there something intrinsically special about either of these gentlemen, or did they simply rise to the occasion? Yes, each of them did “rise to the occasion” quite a number of times over the course of their lives. Thanks very much. Keep up the good work.

[@memomorph5375]

Long time fan, this particular analysis was really in depth, lots to analyze and really showing Dr. Grande’s analytical skills

[@michellebastiani6470]

I like that term, "he had to borrow emotions."

[@Germania72]

Creepy case. I remember when I was 20 years old I had a classmate at uni who got obsessed with me. We were friends first as I was friends with other guys in the class, but one day in a party out of nowhere he tried to force me to kiss him. When Lauren said: "Stephen, Stop!", well, it reminds me of me trying to stop this guy. He apologised and I thought that he was drunk that night, but then, one day after a year from this incident, he called me to tell me that he loved me, that he was taking medication (it turns out he was diagnosed with schizophrenia) and bluntly said he would like to have sex with me because he never had sex with anyone. He started stalking me relentlessly for a couple of years. Horrible.
