Did Mother Frame Her Daughter for Homicide? | Debbie Collier Case Analysis

[@mrfreeman1763]

Chronic pain will make you're world become very small, with no hope in sight of ever feeling better, you're outlook on life will become bleak.

[@librab2497]

I can’t imagine but my husband is always in pain which started before he turned 30. Whenever my back hurts I think about how grateful I am to not experience chronic pain like he does!

[@catseatcookiessofiagacha5210]

😢😢😢

[@sandilou2U]

The Venmo message is being repeated by everyone as "they're not going to let me go" but I think it is missing key punctuation. Apparently, Amanda knew Debbie had been depressed and had encouraged Debbie to cheer up by telling her things would get better. Debbie responded. "They're not going to. Let me go. I love you... " That one period completely changes the message's meaning..

[@onslaughtofagony6680]

Yes, that's exactly what that message was supposed to read. In the context of the conversation, it becomes clear that's what the message actually meant, which changes the case completely.

[@Lenticloudular]

Has merit. Yes perhaps tears blinding her too? Poor lady.

[@Fireproofwitchnz]

Holy shit 🫨 That makes so much sense! When I heard she bought paper towels I immediately knew she was going to use them to help ignite the fire that would ultimately kill her. I do believe she was plotting suicide and your theory is honestly the best I've heard.

[@thesongbird2383]

However... her daughter could have been with Debbie, and used her Mom's phone to both send herself the money, and the text message. But, I can't quite explain how the daughter could have coaxed her Mom into the store to buy those odd items. Any further thoughts?

[@canileaveitblank1476]

@@thesongbird2383 you can’t explain it, because it didn’t happen. Occam’s Razor - the simplest explanation is usually correct. The daughter wasn’t with her mother.

There's no way I'd let my daughter and her boyfriend move into my house if they had committed crimes as described in this video. I wouldn't tolerate that behavior in anyone and sure wouldn't bring it into my household.

[@michaelandrews4895]

The husband told the 911 caller that the purse was at the house when they realized she was missing but then the purse was found at the scene. How did that happen? And the act that money was venmoed to the daughter prior to her death is very shady. Also, I dont believe that it was Debbie that sent that text of "they wont let me go." that was done by the murderer to try to throw everyone off.

[@MimiRAM0NE]

It seems like her daughter, the person originally suspected of her murder, is the only one claiming Debbie had a change in behavior pointing toward depression and suicidality.

I guess I couldn't believe that she, or anyone for that matter, would take their life in such a horrifically painful way, such as fire. That's why I've had such a difficult time believing that she committed suicide. So sad. 😔 Thank you for your analysis. It definitely makes more sense, as bad as it is.

[@gabriellenojaim261]

I agree. I'm not so certain, even AFTER Dr. Grande's breakdown, that Debbie killed herself. Especially in such a HORRIFICALLY PAINFUL way! I'd always been led to believe that women did t usually choose ways to die that would disfigure them...ever conscious of the fact that family would want to view their bodies at a funeral, yes? That's why MOST women don't shoot themselves in the head. Debbie was a rather good looking woman and I find it very difficult to believe that she would set herself on FIRE in order to kill herself...I don't know. That's awfully hard to swallow...

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

I am not believing her death was suicide either. It's just too messed up. Burning to death is not what anyone chooses to off themselves.

[@crystalb4178]

It's also suspicious that she was found holding a small tree. It doesn't make sense that she would be able to keep her grip on that while being burned alive. Her daughter not immediately contacting authorities when she couldn't contact her mother after that disturbing text, exaggerated about the truck driver and the conflict her mother had with him and smirking in an interview as she gloated that she told the people in her life who suspected her in her mother's death would be apologising to her has me strongly suspecting that Debbie's death is not a suicide.

[@jillshannon8627]

I just wanted to add a comment on Hydrocodone, though this is not necessarily connected to poor Debbie's mysterious and tragic death. Some years ago, I was struck by a severe case of sciatica, which lasted for 18 months. I had never used opioids or drugs before this. Due to crippling pain, I had to quit my job, and was mostly in bed. The orthopedist gave me Hydrocodone to ease the pain. Within a couple weeks on this drug, I experienced visual hallucinations, for the first time in my life. The grotesque forms, faces and imagery I saw, with my eyes closed, and even eyes open at times, was terrifying. I had to quit the med, and deal with the pain until finally, I found a type of physical therapy that gradually healed it, and with the help of God. Even on the warning paperwork with the prescription, I noticed later that it warned of hallucinations, even suicide. Maybe it is not a universal side effect, but I saw images too horrific to bear. Possibly, Debbie had an adverse reaction, but I'm only speculating what might have happened.

[@dianabodemer1889]

How terrible for you. I'm glad you're better now. God bless.

[@brightballoon]

About opioid paranoia/psychosis, it's really rare for that type of delusion to happen, indeed. The type of spaced out fantasies it can cause are much more in the happy kind from what I've seen. Someone who's high on opiates feel incredible pleasure, like in an orgasmic dream, and people using it can often have little weird things like having brief pleasant conversations w/ the news anchors on tv thinking they're talking to them, or thinking their lover is w/ them on the subway, puckering up to smooch them and suddenly coming to, realizing everyone is watching them kiss the air. Never seen someone have bad delusions on opiates, or heard of it happening, within a community entrenched in that.

[@criminalconfidential]

Also, why would someone who’s planning on unaliving themselves bring their cell phone into the woods and smash it? And why would she get chik-fil-a as a “last meal”……I have so many questions. This case really stuck with me.

Good evening Dr Grande, Debbie choice of suicide is frightening. But, with Opioids she most likely felt no pain. I know personally, Opioids doesn't make you psychotic, It makes you grandiose.

I think maybe Debbie was talking about the hydrocodone "They aren't going to let me go." Meaning her addiction to the pills......"they." I spent over 15 years in active addiction to hydrocodone and can attest to its powerful grip. For years I worried, "How do I stop?" It doesn't feel like I'll ever be able to stop! Desperate to quit but my brain craved it and my body SCREAMED without it. Friggin endless cycle of hell! Thankfully that is no longer an issue. It's been over 5 years now and I don't have any cravings or desire to relapse. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel but I can remember a time when I could see absolutely no way out!

It was mostly confusion...talking to people not there...almost like being between a dream state and awake at the same time. Like when ur falling asleep and start to dream but ur still awake....but more intense.

Her daughter got the money right. So, she killed her & stated the message that way to feign a possible kidnapping story (if needed).

[@DonJuanDecepticon]

Maybe Debbie was supposed to be at work and was expected to ask to leave early, and she told her daughter they aren’t gonna let me go. I’ve said that plenty of times in that situation.

[@DonJuanDecepticon]

May she had a trip planned with her daughter and then was like well I won’t be going cause I won’t be around but she should go and sent her the money and as to not make her suspect anything was wrong sen”t her a message saying they “her work “wouldn’t let her go”as I’m not give her time off.

[@TiffanyStarr2141]

She wasn't working that day. She had taken that week off work

[@DonJuanDecepticon]

@@TiffanyStarr2141 yeah but maybe she was expected to ask for a specific day off and was just like, I asked about that day they won’t let me go. I’m gonna off myself may as well give my daughter the money for this trip we talked about talking.

[@criminalconfidential]

Or maybe since her and Steve shared a Venmo, it was him saying they were not going to let him leave early. Because I think she was off work for the week. I wonder how long in advance she took the time off, and what her reasoning was for asking for the time off.

That case always baffled me

There are so many things that are asumed in this case, that the most logical things are left for no one to notice. Like the message Debbie sent, her injuries and that telephone call her daughter had with her aunt...almost the first thing she told her aunt was that altercation that had happened quite a while before with that truck driver. Clearly used to cause suspicion away from the obvious. If you are about to kill someone you can use their phone and pretend you are that person. The amount of the money was just enough to pay what her daughter's boyfriend needed to pay what he owed to 'person x'. And the two of them reconcile a few months !ater and you see them going at each other after Debbie passed away??? It is like the solution is staring you right in the face but proving it might not seem so easy...shame on everyone who dealt with this case. There are murderers in your backyard and gave them a free pass. In the small chance they will never do anything wrong ever again is a small one if you hear how Debbie died. That isn't someone who should run around free. That person or maybe two won't stop here. They enjoyed it a little too much. Low intelligence and being cruel, prisons are filled with them. Hope you can sleep as a baby. For now at least.

Bravo, you did a better job analyzing and describing the potential events that took place in one comment, than the police have done in nearly a year of investigation. I haven't watched the interview, but I bet the ones working this case didn't pay much attention to it either. It's so easy for them to say it's not my problem, but when the shoe is on the other foot guess who turns into a big crybaby, pathetic. On top of the already damming evidence that she did NOT commit suicide, it doesn't make sense to bring a tarp, a rain poncho, paper towels, and then kill yourself on the tarp and leave all the evidence and there, that negates the point of preparing all this stuff to make it look planned. If she was trying to frame her daughter, she would have to cut herself, smear blood all over the paper towels and clothing, fatally wound herself, then roll herself up in a tarp and roll down the hill into the ravine. THATS NUTS, it makes 0 sense to say someone that average planned to commit suicide in the stupidest, most suspicious way possible. Nobody would leave that much evidence of murder on purpose. Its clear that she was not supposed to catch fire and run through the woods leaving a mess everywhere, something went wrong during the murder and her captor or captors fled the scene in a panic. If it was truly intended to play out this way, it would be too risky to hope that the cops wouldn't suspect foul play, but these were not smart criminals. And yet the police don't even suspect murder anymore, what a JOKE. The location is a specific place as well, how did she know there was a logging road there, why would she choose such a dark place to end her life.

[@MattCarvin]

Probably only time I’ve disagreed with Dr Grande. I don’t think Amanda and her husband were sophisticated enough either but they knew shady people and I think someone helped them kidnap Debbie and forced her to buy the supplies at the hardware store -specifically- so she would be seen on camera doing it, and thus could stage it better as a suicide. “They” from “they won’t let me go,” aren’t weird voices in her head or skeletons in her closet lol, she’s referring to someone her daughter must know or know of too. The closeness of the bail amount could be coincidence, but it’s another thing that points back to prison bail, prison relationships, and possible prison origins.

[@mousemd]

TY she was born the same year as my brother. So I am 3 years older. I am always curious about the ages of people

[@michael-m]

Oh this is a good one

[@missybishop4996]

I love you.💓 The little digs! jokes too good!!!👍 I don't know what I'd want more... To hang out with you Or record your voice for sleep LOL

[@5954ldydi]

This is a strange and puzzling case. It just seems like there are a few important missing pieces. Dr Grande your thought of psychosis from the hydrocodone would seem to make the most sense but Debbie did have an ongoing chronic back problem so I am sure she was no stranger to chronic pain or opioids -and like you mentioned psychosis is an extremely rare side effect. I don't think detectives should have closed this case so quickly. Most of the events and her actions that are known on the day of her death just seem to create more questions. Something just doesn't seem right to me although we the public might not have been told all the details just in case police wanted to hold some back. Thanks for continuing to follow this very puzzling case Dr Grande. 👍

[@seesnap]

Why not just have alerts when cleaning products are bought along with zip ties black bags rope etc.

[@kristine432]

Thank you for this video I was wondering what happened to her. Sadly no one will ever know why.

[@cmitchell7347]

Interesting timing of this video from Dr. G with the mentions of opioids and paranoia. For those of us who've been following the Murdaugh trial (found guilty on all counts today 3-2-23), Alex claimed his paranoia from his longtime opioid addiction caused him to lie to law enforcement (SLED).

[@nhmooytis7058]

Glad he was found guilty. What a terrible person.

[@JoTracy]

Yes nah. His murdering caused him to lie
