Thank god for randos on KZbin that have listened to 20 911 calls that have been edited and posted by other randos on KZbin, or we would have no way of knowing when someone is being truthful or not on a 911 recording. 🙄 Get real. You have not heard even a fraction of the amount that even a brand new operator hears throughout their training. People watch some KZbin true crime crap and think they’re an FBI profiler, it’s comical. Homicide detectives have had cases brought against them because they were too inept to properly investigate a case and instead ran with their stupid assumption based on their moronic misconstruing of a 911 call, did no real work, and only gathered “evidence” that would back up their confirmation bias, resulting in wrongful convictions.

Exactly Ellen, what these 'human beings' who kill people in callous and cold-hearted acts forget is this: we now have now have the knowledge to tell whether a scene is innocent or suspicious. Using a fire to cover your tracks is NOT enough to hide what really happened. Plus, acting hysterical as a woman in the 21st Century doesn't work. What angers me is murderers, of any murder case, are more concerned about avoiding consequence for their actions instead of showing humanity to the person(s) they killed. But again, if you're able to kill another human being so freely - you've already proven where your morals are. I save my compassion for the families of murder victims because for them the destruction of life doesn't end with their loved one's death. I hope they all find some peace. All of it Ellen is such waste of life. Disgusting.

What a heartless soul. It's also kind of scary to know one can take out a life insurance policy on someone without their knowledge, and then take their life like it doesn't matter. It's messed up, seriously. I do hope they enjoy their stay behind bars where they both belong. The insurance dance helped me not be too sad about only one video, so thanks for that, Mike! Have a great week 😊
