5 years for almost taking Melissa's life with premeditation is an insult. Women should never have to worry about this creep again. Fix the damn law.

*"Dan participated in behaviors he refered to as music, singing and acting..."* Nothing makes me laugh more than the witty, dry humor of Dr. Grande! 😂

Apparently, he acted and sang and played music in high school very much, just like Melissa

[@mikeflynn1629]

I remember this case I live in OC. I wonder if he's with other lifers. Is he protected because of his deed? There's a lot of men in prison they don't like skinny ass punks that killed daughters

[@JE4-1]

I have 4 children, 3 are daughters. When they’re first born, you worry about things like SIDS, abductions, or illness. As teens, you worry about them driving and making bad decisions. Then they hit 18. They’ve survived, you survived, and you think “I can breath now. We’ve made it.” And then, for some asshole who thinks he has a right to end that life and then deny he did it and tell her parents he loved them? This one broke my heart.

Jessie Blodgett was a singularly gifted person of exceptional character and talent. Daniel Bartelt is a stupid, selfish, delusional, disgustingly evil creep. Bartelt’s only ambition in life was to be a serial killer.Jessie’s untimely murder is a massive loss to her family, her community and to the entire world.

[@mgparis]

We had a similar notorious case here in France, with a twist - Jonathann Daval murdered his wife Alexia, cried on TV playing the victim and then pretty much moved in with his in-laws to be "consoled" by them... Could you please analyse that story?

[@Swansong321]

Omg!that's crazy

There are a lot of husbands crying after they murder their wife over here in the US. Usually a lot of noise. They don't usually move in with their in-laws.

[@alukuhito]

Now they'll probably live the rest of their lives in distrust. They had known that boy for years, he had consoled them, he had dated their daughter in high school. Yet, without any good reason, he killed their daughter. I wouldn't trust anyone after that. I'd be angry at myself for not seeing any signs, how gullible I was.

[@thedipsomaniax]

A side game I play on every Dr. Grande video is to pause it when it cuts to the first photo of the person, and try to guess their year of birth. I haven't got the decade wrong even once since I started a few months back, with one exception where I guessed 1969 when it was 1971. Can you guys try this? I don't know my own process, perhaps a combination of lighting, hairstyle, image quality, background, ambience etc.

Jessie Blodgett was an unbelievably talented young lady. I didn't know her but I think she'd have been the type of friend I would've loved to have. She and her killer actually have a demo here on YT that she put out like a week before he deleted her and it's so good. Raw and unpolished, sure, but very good regardless. I hate to compliment him but it's obvious he was also a talented musician. Y'all should listen to it but please be respectful if you're going to leave a comment on that video; her parents apparently still go through the comments all these years later. RIP Jessie 🌺🌹🌺

Melissa is amazing. We need to do something about Andrew Tate like thinking and the community that thinks it's made up of what they call incels.

2:25 The "lead" role or the _titular_ role? The lead role in Fiddler on the Roof is an aging father named Tevye whose daughters' choices of husbands grow increasingly harder for him to accept one-by-one. He doesn't actually play the fiddle. The fiddler himself is a metaphor that no one sees except Tevye (and the audience). He has no lines. He just plays the fiddle.

[@sharonhoyt2133]

What has always amazed me about this case is how Jessie's parents forgave her murderer so quickly afterwards. They had known and trusted him and he deceived and harmed them in the worst ways possible. I kind of admire them for that but I also don't think I could do that immediately after a finding out how despicable of a man he was in all of his actions from torture, murder and rape of their young daughter to his pretending to mourn her death and coming to pretend grieve with her parents.Thankfully he is where he belongs in prison for life because I sincerely doubt any family of his future victims would be as forgiving.
