​@awill3454 well in reality they did not have a clue. That is the meaning of cluelessness. Their clue to link him to the murder was provided by his mother. In this context, the word clueless is used correctly, however you are offended by it because it is often used as a euphemism for stupid. The word's misuse is not your fault.

I don't think it's the disorder itself. It seems like the parents didn't emphasize, any of his disorders, or kinda "masked them", yk wht I mean? Kinda puffing him up, feeding his ego. I do also believe he was narcissistic, and possessed. I watched all the videos, the interview after he was caught, was disgusting. I think in a sense, his parents were in denial, and he was able to manipulate them with. While everyone else warned them, he assured his mom it was in a joking manner. He uses his "IQ" and the intellectual aspect of HiFunc Asperger's, but refuses to acknowledge having it. They even admitted the docs diagnosed him with schizophrenia, but refused to admit that he was, claiming the docs were against them, misdiagnosing him.

My parents walk their dogs at a local park and have a regular group who meet up to do the same. There is a very nice older homeless man there who is very kind and everyone knows his name. He doesn’t want to live in a house, but he’s not violent or delusional, he has my mother’s phone number and my mother has taken him to the vets for an emergency visit for his dog. The other dog walkers have a similar relationship with him. Stories like this frighten me because segments of our society are so vulnerable. The do gooders who decriminalize everything are just as bad. I have seen the kind man my family knows beaten and driven off by violent anti social homeless people who do hard drugs and steal. There needs to be laws to detain individuals like that. There are no easy answers, but everyone’s life has worth and should be respected.

I met so many honest, kind, wonderful people in the homeless camps. i was accepted into the group with no problems & was guided in my first few days where to get a hot meal, take a shower, do laundry, sign up for resources to try to better my situation etc. there was zero judgement, only acceptance. except from mainstream society. 90 percent of people would treat a homeless person like they were shit on the bottom of their shoe so it was nice to read that you and your family are better than that. thank you for showing such kindness in this terrible world. many people should take a lesson from you!!

There is some similitude between this case and that of Adam Lanza who shot 20 children and 6 adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. In both instances the parents of these children were aware of the child’s longstanding significant mental illness; yet they seemed to minimize the problem. In both instances, school authorities expressed their concerns to the parents, but it seems the process never moved forward. IMO these children should have been institutionalized long before they committed these atrocities.

Extremely interesting instance! Thanks, Dr. Grande! I watch your videos every day 😁

[@rosemadder5547]

Heard about this case on EWU recently. Glad to see Dr Grande cover it. If you haven't seen the footage of him confessing and the other body cam footage, you should check it out. His personality is different from a lot of others I've watched. Very disconcerting when his voice changes as he says "A human head and two human hands" to the officer.

[@malinnicole6677]

He has a few social skill deficiencies and is a straightforward person, so it is not too surprising that he would be so frank and up front. Plus, he knew he was caught. It is better to own up to it than play games.

[@Dalenra3013]

I've heard the 911 audio, and seen the bodycam footage... absolutely haunting. Especially the way Brian just casually admits to what he's done, to the cop.

[@nessthing]

watching the body cam footage of him and his parents was way more unsettling than I was expecting. he had people all around him to help him, like when he drove his car in the water both his parents were there immediately to help him and he had local friends he texted and messaged online about and hung out with about driving his car in the water. you’d think people with anti social qualities like this would be more isolated from their parents or peers.

[@wolfe6220]

Anti social personality has nothing to do with whether they have relationships with family or friends. They don't care if they break the law, and when they do they have no remorse. They don't care who they have to hurt to accomplish their goals. They can be glib and charming and manipulative.

[@malinnicole6677]

He was not antisocial. He had social skills that needed a little bit of work, but he was not antisocial. The struggle he had and the murder he committed had nothing to do with anyone else and only to do with him. He hated his parents so he would never have gone to them for help, but his internal struggle is something that he would not show to people because it was so personal and he knew he'd get in trouble.

[@wolfe6220]

@@malinnicole6677 ASPD has nothing to do with social skills. A person with antisocial personality disorder will lie, break laws, act impulsively, and lack regard for their own safety or the safety of others. He did all of these.

[@malinnicole6677]

@@wolfe6220 Being antisocial and having antisocial personality disorder are two different things. To be diagnosed with ASPD one must first show signs or be diagnosed with a conduct disorder before the age of 15. In Brian, that is not present. You jave the right idea about what ASPD is, but you are missing key features that will allow you to correctly describe it and use it as evidence.

Fairly low.

[@malinnicole6677]

There is a chance for that to happen. Many don't want to work for a change or a solution until after someone is dead, but looking at the situation a different way, a humanistic way, is a start on how to look past surface actions and get to the root of the problems. "Sicko" is only one reason why this will never change.

[@dccoffman1]

Dr. Grande, could you please explain your thoughts about receiving mental health treatment? It sounds like you think that mental health treatment will solve problems. My understanding is that it’s a two-way street. You can’t take someone in for mental health treatment and have them get better if they don’t want to get better. Clarification would be much appreciated.

[@nancydupuis8083]

Just by lifetime observation I don't think mental health counseling helps as many people as we would like or as indicated

[@momof1576]

In Canada he would be criminally culpable because he understood the nature and quality of his actions.

[@wrosebrock]

He willfully chose to get more comfortable with his homicidal inclinations instead of fighting against them. He chose to be what he became.

[@malinnicole6677]

There was a period where he did fight it. He had been feeling this way for years and never acted on his urges until 2021. He heard from documentaries and such of serial killers that murder is a great feeling and he wanted to try it; he was able to fight it off, but eventually he started seeing pieces of himself in serial killers and his curiosity overwhelmed him.

[@wrosebrock]

@@malinnicole6677 and did his inner struggle manifest itself as he smilled and *laughed* during interrogation ?

[@malinnicole6677]

@@wrosebrock He has poor social cues and the adrenaline from that grand experience had not worn off yet. He has been told he's callous and shallow, but his inner struggle had been sated since he experienced the high that he had been missing. He had given into his urges when he murdered Warren Barnes, so the laughing and smiling is quite irrelevant to his struggle at that moment. At that point, I do not think it would be considered an interrogation since he was confessing everything; I'd consider it an interview.

I've been waiting for this case breakdown. Thank you!

[@fyxation]

I recently watched his initial interrogation video. It's... Just. Wow. He describes everything he did with borderline glee. It's not chilling so much as disgusting. He said he only did it because he wanted to know how it felt--he thought it would be the greatest feeling in the world based solely on what previous serial killers have said. But then he goes on to say that it wasn't that great, and he wouldn't have done it if he'd known it wouldn't provide whatever feeling he was looking for (sure). I'm glad he got life. Murder is murder but keeping body parts (no matter the reason) strikes me as far more monstrous than, say, just dumping a body or even fleeing from a scene. It's not a red flag; it's a sky banner flying across the sky.

His mom ran a daycare at her home. They dodged a bullet on that one. It's wild the cops didn't place him in cuffs even after he confessed.. 😯

[@heh2k]

That's how they got a confession. He wasn't resisting and cooperated.

[@jca65lb]

@heh2k , That may be so, but very risky having the female officer walk him back to the patrol car by herself.

[@malinnicole6677]

It would be an unwise decision on the police's part if they cuffed him when he is being extremely calm and cooperative. Doing so could provoke him and put everyone in a dangerous situation, letting him retain a bit of freedom shows a level of trust the police are giving him. This trust makes Brian more at ease and likely to do things the easy way and give the police everything they need.

[@malinnicole6677]

He does, however, this was when he was still on the high from the so-called amazing experience that he heard about from serial killers. Being in jail for three years can certainly impact someone and make them reflect on their life and their choices, good and bad. None of this takes away from what he did and the horror of it, but people can change and while it may take decades, people can be on the train toward redemption and feel remorse.

[@youtubeisboring9709]

Saw the body cam footage and when the officer is like "your parents found something concerning in your closet do you know what thats about?" And the way he responded was so eerie, not in a creepy way (although it was) but it was almost like he put on an acting voice and a "serious" face, it is such a marked difference from how he speaks when it seems like he "forgets" to put on that act. It came off like he was trying to seem too cool for school and it was almost the same in the police interview, idk exactly how to describe it. It just seemed like he rehearsed how he was gonna confess when he got caught. It made me think of Horatio? from CSI when he pulls down his glasses and says some catchphrase.

[@paulanoctor2434]

I totally get what you’re saying; he is a try-hard.

At 40 it shames me to say I was a lot like him as a teen. I often thought about taking someone out that wronged me in some way. Between the ages of 13 and 17 i was arrested 9 times. Each one was stuff im surprised didn't get me in a juvenile prison. The last time I was arrested i was sent to anger management, and meeting with a therapist once a week for 3 years. I was taught empathy and how my actions affected other people, my parents and family, and how they affected my own life. I haven't been arrested since i was 17, and i still go to therapy 23 years later because I don't ever want to go back to that person. I know that's not a possibility, but i feel better continuing with counseling. If it helps any, i was raped by my grandfather for several years as a child. The people in my life now have said they cant imagine me being like that. Therapy helps so much, but it takes parents not ignoring the red flags being serious getting their child the support to deal with trauma

[@williammann9816]

He said during the police interview he thought he would get 10 to 20 years in prison. He even thought out what his punishment would be if caught prior to the act. Definitely needs to never be free again.

And what's the difference, evil is just horrible behaviour without any explanation, behaviour we should just mark as evil without caring to investigate how it could be prevented in others? Not buying the "it's evil/satan/demon" BS. Trying to get to the bottom of things is how we stand a chance to learn things that can prevent this in others

[@CAROLUSPRIMA]

This mostly pointless battle of the experts as to whether a defendant is mentally ill continues to astound me. As the doctor pointed out the second prong is the issue: whether a defendant understood and appreciated the wrongfulness of his acts at the time the acts were committed. Therefore one can be crazier than aunt June yet not meet the legal definition of insanity. Finally this is one of the few issues in criminal law where the burden is on the defendant. We are all legally presumed to be sane and the burden is on the defense to prove otherwise. These reasons are why the insanity defense rarely is successful.
