Dr. Grande did not mention one of the most important aspects to bear hunting that adds weight to support a conviction . . . The hunter must always watch the bear for a long enough time period so he/she is 100% confident that the bear is not a sow with a cub or cubs following along behind her. Every bear hunter knows this and it is the law.

[@rubyoro0]

The judge must have not known this.

[@ReaperCH90]

Thanks, that is the final nail.

[@markusk2289]

Also: why shoot before you are sure unless the „bear“ is attacking and there is immediate danger?

[@MartineH1]

Oh, just this one would be enough to convict her. Add to it the life insurance aspect and his brother moving in and we have it very clear that it was murder.

[@Straightjacket154]

Who cares about the bear law, ain’t no fucking way in her she confused him for a bear 25 min after sunset. She planned this she should rot in jail.

"I think that one could argue that very few bears wear navy blue coveralls. Usually, people who wear coveralls have physically demanding jobs, and most bears are unemployed." The deadpan, serious tone during that delivery made this one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Your success is well-deserved.

I think it’s likely she killed him on purpose. I have seen a bear, in the dark and in daylight. They don’t look a bit like a person, unless you could argue it was so dark Mary Beth could only see a misshapen lump. In which case, she should never have fired, and a human sized misshapen lump looks nothing like a bear anyway. Thanks for covering this Dr. Grande.

[@Aaron-kj8dv]

Even a misshapen lump doesn't add up because on all fours it's short and wide as a car. When it's on 2 legs it's tall like the predator (unless it's a smaller bear).

I've never seen a bear in the wild, we don't have them in my country. But there's really nothing much in nature anywhere that looks like a human running around either and if you're hanging out with people that shoot at 'movement', its a good time to stop being anywhere near them!

I have an aversion to hunters who do it for sport and not for survival. This is a story of adultery and trading partners like musical chairs. Mark leaves his partner of 12-years for Mary. Mary's brother-in-law lags behind as Mark is mistaken for a bear. Mary shoots and kills Mark dead. The brother-in-law then moves in with Mary and Mary collects a lot of insurance money. I feel this could have been planned by both Mark's brother and Mary! I don't think she mistook him for a bear. As the grand finale Marks brother eventually dumps Mary for the babysitter. This convoluted story is almost too much to bear. lol I think Mark's murder was a set-up!

I agree. After living with Marybeth for a time, Mark's brother, Barry realized that living with a murderer wasn't a good plan and that the Babysitter was a much better option.

I’ll never understand why a hunter would ever discharge their firearm if they don’t have an unquestionable and clear view of their target.

[@barbarahill4767]

I do not think she is guilty. Lots of hearsay evidence not admissible in court and needed for an guilty verdict. No mention of her mental state at the time of shooting. Was she taking the medication? Could have been hypomanic. Dx? Why did the husband increase his life insurance. Her behaviour after the shooting suggests prepsychosi with paranoia. The role of the brother is unclear. Is it a good idea to leave this woman alone with young children? Why on earth would a person with potentially severe mental è à illness be allowed to carry a gun, at least should be accompanied. Seems too many Americans love their guns.

[@bradsanders6954]

That's wild! So you think someone who's been in a mental institution, is bi-polar, has anger issues.................shouldnt have free access to guns?

I've owned several Weatherby rifles in addition to dozens of others, and spent a lot of time hunting bears. It's virtually incomprehensible to me how that could have been an accident.

I am sick of the Kanye Wests who continually use their BP to get a pass for their atrocious behavior. And yes, Mary Beth Harshbarger should be in jail.

[@SY-ok2dq]

@@Locutus Well before she was tried in court, I would have thought the insurance company might have dug up more incriminating evidence about her which would help the case. They have greater resources than the public police (limited manpower etc. to spend on just one case). It's a large amount for the company to just pay out, if they strongly suspect it's fraud.

[@SY-ok2dq]

@@vikramgupta2326 I guess there was nothing in the fine print that the company could use here.

IMO, the circumstances leading up to Mark’s death is highly suspicious. I think one of the two following things happened: 1. Beth and Mark’s brother, Barry, conspired together for Mark to be killed on the trip, then Beth would receive the money from the newly increased life insurance policy on Mark’s death, and then Beth and Barry would get together…or… 2. Beth alone decided that she would kill Mark on that trip, and then Beth would receive the money from the newly increased life insurance policy on Mark’s death. Too many things made it unlikely that it was an accident: -Beth and Mark were not getting along and Beth was mad at Mark. -Mark had made the comment to someone about how Beth could kill him and, if she did it, it would be quick. -Beth was bipolar, was quick to anger, and was disliked by many of Mike’s family. -Beth had a history of previously attacking someone physically. -Beth was angry with Mark over having to check into a mental treatment facility voluntarily. -Beth was proficient with firearms and hunting and knew when to shoot and when not to shoot at animals. -Beth had knowledge of what a bear looks like. -Beth knew not to shoot at an object not yet identified and/or at night when something could not be seen. -Mark’s life insurance policy had recently been increased.

Her character is a problem when it comes to her being difficult to get along with, not her bi-polar. And Barry is a completely awful person. Mark never looked happy in those photos either.

The life insurance increase is suspicious. I think she would have “accidentally“ shot her husband at another time if she didn’t get him on this trip.

I have less than zero sympathy for any human who wants to kill an animal. I can't even imagine wanting to do that. The murder and all of the circumstances and details aside, the only thing I can't get past is that these people wanted to kill animals and that makes them demented and Insane as far as I'm concerned. The rest of it is their own damn karma. I will say the children didn't deserve it and hopefully have survived emotionally unscathed, though I doubt that

Bears in the woods don't walk or act or look or sound like people. How could she? Then bamboozle the court? In front of the kids. Was she stable ? Psychotic? Off her meds?

Hi.Great show. i live not far from that family, here in PA & it was all over the news here for ages. Despite the pro gun rights & obvious slaNT OH HER 'LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS'(KILLING THINGS) & cLEAR oMISSION OF HER MENTAL CONDITION...WHICH WAS nO sECRET AS SHE WAS ALWAYS IN SOMEBODY'S FACE FOR UPSETTING HER ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...opinions were polarized...they were gun & kill happy...she was exceptionally pretty, and flirtatious...& besides that guys around here are drawn to women who love guns. So...she was Always allowed any infractions she desired to commit, including having custody of children in her Known Dangerous mental state... I am Firmly convinced she was misdiagnosed....she actually displayed Psychotic characteristics not BiPolar...there is a big difference between those mental issues. But..this is Good Ole Boy territory & the Letter of the Law is viewed as more of a suggestive guideline rather than..well..The Law. Besides that lil factoid..did i mention she was very pretty & flirtatious? Another thing Wrong with the case...it Leaps out to me that she knew the Insurance phone numbers off the top of her head..Fascinating, especially considering it had just been Radically increased...& she immediately began a relationship with hubby's brother... All are screeching red flags of spousal murder. It is Not hard to co-ordinate a hunting trip...and a murder scene with such easy loopholes such as this one. They obviously chose that area knowing the case would not be handled properly & they would get away with it...the guide was probably paid or threatened to hang back... The fact the brother ran off with the nanny while she was institutionalized is hilarious poetic justice...but for one thing...i believe he was Very complicit in his brothers death...and is now in the wind...to do it again. aS IS SHE. Apologies...this keyboard has it's own mind...

An example of an ability to shoot a firearm call emselves “hunters” but incapable of recognizing the target animal- she is a perfect example of a person who should not have firearms- she failed to follow the basic safety and hunting rules, a bipolar diagnosis should also prohibit firearm possession.

Actually chasing bears (not the best way to put it, but essentially that's what is going on) is a proper way of hunting bear, it's just you kinda need dogs for that tactic. Everyone hunts bear with dogs here in NC, we have a very dense black bear population. I don't know anyone that hunts bears in a tree stand, but I also quit bear hunting several years ago and now mostly hunt deer and rabbits because that's what I like to eat. So if I was bear hunting, I would want comfortable boots to run in and a few Plott hounds and Mountain Feists to "get on" the bear. Not wearing orange is pretty dumb though, I could see this being an accident, but I don't think it was.

[@imaginempress3408]

I have met 2 rescue Plotts up in PA. Are they a well known breed? They are unheard of here in SE PA.

[@Huliaho]

@@imaginempress3408 they are especially well know from where I'm from, Plotts were first bred here in Haywood County NC. I'm not sure how well known they are outside the NC/TN area though. Wonderful dogs, but since I don't bear hunt anymore I prefer having a small Mountain Feist, wonderful dogs that are great for squirrel hunting and just being a loving family dog. Edit: hunting Plotts can be very expensive here, and breeders work actively as gatekeepers, which means I don't get along with most of them. Someone needs to get a couple Plotts and challenge the monopoly of these old bastards.

[@imaginempress3408]

@@Huliaho unfortunately they end up mistreated and taken to shelters. Rescues ship them up North for placement; that's how I have met both the Plotts I know.

I don't blame her for never wanting to go to a mental institution ever again. Jail is better. For an experienced hunter to shoot her husband, in this way seems very suspect.

Hi Dr Grande, as a UK citizen I have appreciated your analyses of Peter Sutcliffe the “Yorkshire Ripper”, Harold Shipman and most recently Jemma Mitchell. Some years ago I requested that you cover Fred & Rosemary West, plus the Moors murders carried out by Ian Brady & Myra Hindley. Both these cases have left an indelible mark on the UK national consciousness, standing out not only for their brutality and callousness plus the vulnerability and innocence of the victims, but also because both apparently involved a couple killing together. The Moors murders are particularly relevant to me as my late mother grew up nearby and occasionally talked about the impact they had on the local population. Again I would very much appreciate you covering these two cases, thank you in advance.

[@Achase4u]

I dunno. I've seen a bear with a green hat, shirt collar and green tie before. But he was indeed unemployed. He just went around stealing picnic baskets.
