While in one hand we have Julian, who despite a good upbringing and so many second chances in life, was still able to commit murders. On the other hand we have Terry Jo, who despite having lived through a devastating experience of losing her family in this manner, was able to overcome her circumstances and even inspire others to heal from life tragedies. Fascinating case Dr. Grande, thank you.❤️

Terri Jo survived because of an incredible amount of luck (being below deck as Julian began carrying out his murderous plan, letting go of the rope thereby thwarting Julian’s possible plans to dispose of her, surviving the elements once alone at sea with no water, and later being spotted and saved by a passing ship) and by being a very clever child (remembering the small raft and knowing to untie the rope freeing it from sinking along with the yacht). God bless her. She witnessed her dead family members, became an orphan and nearly died at sea at age 11.

[@4estdweller4ever]

I’ve read Teri’s book “Alone” 3 times. I was fascinated by her story bc I am near her age. After her rescue she went to live with family and they decided it would be best to not talk about what had happened and just to give Teri a safe environment. She didn’t talk to anyone about it until she had taken one of her children to a pediatrician. In the course of asking about her family history when she answered both parents were dead The dr asked how they died. Bingo. When she told him, the dr asked her to wait a moment and he went to get a psychologist to speak to her. This dr helped her explore the aftermath and the many ways it was still affecting her life. This part of her story captured me bc I experienced severe, long term trauma as a child. I had to escape my environment when I was 12 and afterwards lived in foster homes. I too experienced the common practice in that time era to not talk about what I had been through. This cleared the path of my early adulthood to be blind to the potholes and quick sand in my path. It would all come out in the form of self destructive behaviors and mistakes so enormous as to do lethal damage to myself. I look back and all I see is ruins. Hearing Teri’s story brought home to me how I was set up for trouble bc of the “better to not talk about” era that I was born into. It wasn’t like people weren’t aware of what had happened to me. It was too messy. To me the most compelling part of this story was Teri’s survival. I felt like she was my mirror image.

[@crackers1039]

Beautifully said. My parents are from the repressed era as well. No one was overly confessional. Both of my parents were badly abused. Neither parent ever abusive. It’s only this moment in writing this tears are stinging realizing how unlikely this is and how hard they worked to break that cycle. I’m so sorry you endured all of that with so little, if any, support. You are incredibly resilient. You may see ruins but I see a lot of resilience & an amazing ability to reflect. Edit to add I want to get ahold of the book,too

I grew up with Terri. School. Camp. Somehow she came up tonight in conversation w/my husband. He got a bit bored. So I’m thinking maybe you’ll listen. Empathize. After this most horrific assault, Terri recovered (??) & was sent “home.” She had no home. Her family was murdered. Everyone avoided her. The taint of all that pain. We remained friends but only superficially. She was so dead. But we always kept the thread. So, back in our 20’s, we had meetup in Indiana where she’d gone to live. She was employed in an Amish boat building shop & living in a tiny apartment. She was a ghost. Haunted & sad. I’d written to Hollywood screenwriters back then. “Her story needs to be told.” So tonight, telling husband, thought maybe there might be something on KZbin. Appreciate your comment. Your empathy. What she endured? And you? I despise this throwaway term “survivor.” Just a convenient way to disregard the lifetime of terror, suffering the victims endure. Terri Jo, you’re still my hero. “Lifefromaparkinglot.” You as well friend.

My personality factors are 2: Eat & Sleep. Love your channel. Also your sarcasm is great. I work in the legal department and when I bring attention to a department about not being compliant with the law, I am often asked if the law is new. My response is the law is not new for the law was enacted the year the bread slicer was invented or when the stop sign was invented (depend which legal citation).

In other words you very much enjoy the Drs dead pan humor? ;)

Spectacular synopsis. Thank you for sharing. 👍

[@buzzevermore9309]

Thank you for your service, Dr. Grande 👍

[@brendamyers6320]

I always loved these stories..Read many books--now I can just watch Dr. Grande...Your voice is so soothing I can fall to sleep watching.. However last time I did this, I was dreaming about some of what you were talking about--guess I was half asleep. Never doing that again..kinda scary...LOL..Great Dr.Grande..

YAY! Please Dr, can you analyse Australian Serial Killer Mark Reed?

[@karlachilders1145]

I’ve always been fascinated by this story. Thank you for covering it

[@darlenelawson1255]

It amazes me how you were able to get so much information in this case. Juillian was very sick, and maybe a sociopath plus other things. Wow that was unbelievable. Thank-you Dr. Todd, you are a very hard worker. I always enjoy your videos.💙🇨🇦💙🥧🍩

[@olilumgbalu5653]

*Maybe * a sociopath??

[@arleneportsmouth1263]

Thank you Dr Grande for analyzing this very interesting case. I had to rewind the part where you said he somehow flew out of the car as he drove off the bridge leaving his wife and mother-in-law to drown in the vehicle. I had no idea they had such insurance available for spouses in the event of death in those days. I always thought the insurance was equivalent to your annual salary.

There’s a reason they had a whole movie called “double indemnity”…those policies are never good news lol

[@GalootWrangler]

“Come now, you’ve never read an actuarial table in your life, have you?” (Barton Keyes is right on point, for those who kept issuing policies to this wrecking ball).

[@teijaflink2226]

It's insane to me that in the US someone can take out insurance policy for someone else, I really don't understand why? There have been warnings about this in movi3s 80 years ago already so I really hope the rules have changed by now, as I have heard several stories like this, even people taking insurance for strandens, really pissing me of, those poor innocent people murdered just for money, total waste of life.

[@crackers1039]

@@teijaflink2226 now I want to know, too. It’s not always a bad thing but it can so easily be abused and so many ppl are money hungry. I have seen well meaning husbands take out policies for himself and his wife to safeguard the children and thought it was wise-they stayed married of course. 53 years of marriage actually. :) sometimes it’s a good ending but you make such a valid point. You can take out a policy on a stranger!??

[@Wandering_Nowhere]

I swear the video speeds up 20x when Dr. Grande lists the five factor model lol

[@CastledarkDweller27]

to my ears, that bit always becomes just one long continuous word with 500 syllables. lol

Around 1977, while living in Fort Lauderdale, my then boyfriend took me to a restaurant that was in a lighthouse, off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. On weekends there was a boat that picked you up at the dock, took you to the lighthouse and then brought you back. That was the only way you would be able to eat in the restaurant. I heard you mention a lighthouse and thought maybe that was the one.
