The fact that Amber, an obvious homicidal sociopath, is now free, is actually terrifying. She had no remorse about the victim and no regret about the crime, she only cried because she got caught. Her description of the events was entirely cold, emotionless. She only showed emotion regarding herself and her predicament. That's truly scary to me. That woman is a danger to everyone around her and she will be for as long as she's free. Honestly, there needs to be some kind of public register for people to check when it comes to murderers like her. People should know that someone like this is living in their community.

Only 8 months in jail for Amber, fully involved in the murder, seems like such an injustice. She had plenty of time to blow the whistle on this and save the guy's life. Hopefully Karma does it's job on her.

[@YeahShaw]

As soon as she said that if she’d stayed she had worried her kids would now be orphans. The normal first thought would surely be that maybe you being there meant you might have been able to protect your partner. She simply turned it around to make it about her & the importance of her potentially dying too & how others would miss her.

[@harrydemkee3580]

That’s a good point, when listening to that clip of her interview my first thought also was she was going to say maybe if she stayed he would still be alive, not a comment about her own safety. In retrospect, that comment alone was very telling

They had text messages between the two that showed she did not give a shit. Amber knowingly did nothing to stop this. She should have never have gotten that kind of deal. She should not have offered less than 15 years. They needed her testimony but she would have given it. 8 months of a 3 year deal is a joke. This is why you have people who kill other get released and do it again and sometimes a 3rd time. Arthur Shawcross is a perfect example.

I know you’re not a lawyer because if you were you’d recognize how weak those pieces of circumstantial evidence are.

Your content is great, you are continuously releasing new content without fail, the humor you insert is hilarious and still doesn't come off as disrespectful, and I love that you didn't end up putting your podcast behind a paywall cuz it's just as addicting as your videos

I am absolutely appalled that sister was given eight months. She had two weeks to save his life not to mention hundreds of opportunities. He had done nothing to harm her at all. The only emotions she was showing was because she was scared and she sure didn't have any trouble turning your sister in. Absolutely despicable. This is a very dangerous precedent accessories to horrendous crimes like this. She may not have pulled the trigger but she did pull the road that was supposed to drown him. I don't think I've ever being so angry after a story. My goodness she is a mother and she went home to raise her kids. They didn't stand a chance abnormal life.

Wow ok incel, maybe stop watching so much Andrew Tate and go watch the Barbie movie. All white homicidal women named Amber actually get rewarded millions by western courts for trying to kill men, you clearly forgot that precedent.

[@Heathcoatman]

As someone who lived in the area for a couple of years (Modoc county, the northeastern most part of California) it is absolutely no surprise that there are so many stories for Mike to cover. Keep in mind it's sparsely populated and yet there are probably many more similar cases. Many of those people are feral.

[@sylviatorrez1734]

Feral is the perfect word

[@gardensofthegods]

Have you ever seen or interacted with any of those feral people and if so can you go into some detail about what they're really like because some of us have seen too many cliched movies and stories about such humans

[@It-is-me...Melsie]

Trisha certainly was that, as was Amber too. And was hit with the ugly stick too. Poor Chris. If only he knew he could have done much much better.

[@sarahholland2600]

​@@gardensofthegodsThere are degrees of feral though... I kind of see Summer Wells parents, Don & Candus as semi feral.

[@Heathcoatman]

@@gardensofthegods Many many times have I interacted with them. It's tough to describe, and is certainly more subtle than the movies or TV shows. It's not Deliverence. It's also been 25 years but a couple of examples are: The house I lived in had bullet holes throughout. Everywhere. Apparently the guy who owned this house used to get drunk and just fire his guns in the house. He went to prison for many offenses, including beating his wife, shooting at the police when they came to question him, and a bunch of other stuff, cant really remember. To pay for his legal fees he sold the house, his truck and farm equipment. I worked on this farm and sometimes drove his old truck to town for supplies, etc. The townsfolk would look at me like I was a monster for driving this poor, misunderstood and downtrodden citizen's truck. He was a total dirtbag criminal who sold his truck but that's not how they saw it. Just weird, imo. One of the other guys who worked on this farm with me was a big baseball fan, and there wasnt much to do in your free time so he volunteered to be an umpire for the local little league chapter. Since there was only one team within 100 miles he would only umpire home games, about twice a month. At one of those games the opposing team showed up late. The excuse was that their bus driver never showed, so eventually the coach drove the kids. My friends told me the coach smelled so bad like booze you had to back away from him to breathe. He later complained to the league about this drunk coach/bus driver and the league let him go, saying they wouldnt need his umpiring skills anymore. Water is pretty scarce in some areas, and the property value of any piece of land is based almost entirely on water rights. People up there will go out in the middle of the night and redirect water to their own land. There have been serious feuds up there, and people have been shot and shot at often over these little trickles of a stream. I get how important the water is, but these people are like Hatfield and McCoy level crazy over this stuff. Covert ops/militia crazy. There really are no police up there. Sure if you live in a city like Medford or Klamath Falls, but you get in these more rural areas (There is one traffic light in the entirety of Modoc county) and everyone is their own law. If you called the police with a serious emergency, you'd be lucky if someone got there in 1 hour. 3 would be more reasonable. It's the wild west up there, especially when you are driving some anti-government hero's old truck.

[@bsidegirl9069]

Feel so bad for him and his children. My sons" dad passed away when they were 5 and 6. from an O.D of heroin. It was one of the hardest things i ever did , having to tell them he was gone! It really broke their hearts. How can these people be so cold and callous? It is down right evil! Bless those kids. And may he RIP. Honestly!

[@nonnyena4267]

Stupid story on my fam: My younger brother looks 10 to 15 years younger than he is. Not so much an issue now he's 59, but when he first started as a financial advisor, he was 26 and, even though he was 6'4" tall, he looked like he was 15 or 16. _Certainly not old enough to advise you what to do with your money._ So, even though his vision was 20/20, he got wire framed glasses [with plain glass lenses] - & bleached his temples just a little. When his hair went from dark brown to salt-&-pepper at 35, he stopped wearing the glasses... And everyone asked if he would recommend Lasik surgery & was it painful. He finally had to cop to just using them to make himself "look more professional."

It is unbelievable that she only served 8 months in jail! She helped plan the murder and who knows exactly how much she helped in it because she could have told whatever story she wanted.

[@Itried20takennames]

I think you mean Amber, but if they had both stayed quiet and just denied…..there may not have had enough evidence for a conviction. They could have been acquitted on reasonable doubt if no one talked…It has happened. So it sucks, but sometimes to get an inside person to testify and to get the convictions, they have to entice one person to confess and tell the details by offering them a lighter sentence. Otherwise the suspects know their best and only chance is to just deny and they might getaway with it. And even if it was 3 years….still would not be enough.

[@kenw2225]

Well if she hadn't took the plea and gave them the details, there'd be no conviction. Is that better for you? A cold case?

[@leighowen4345]

I think what would have tipped me off immediately, was her allowing her two VERY young children to appear on TV, yet she wouldn't🤔. Wouldn't you want your children to be protected from prying eyes? Those kids were way too young to consent to that. She probably also knew that she couldn't pull off the real emotion that one would expect from a loving spouse, who had just lost one of their most important people in the world and that is why she thought it was better to try and fake "emotion" in her voice than for people to see right through her. It is so much harder to fake genuine sadness and grief as it is visible on your face; not many people are skilled enough to get away with that. She probably also thought that by using the kids in the TV interviews, that people would focus more on them, than on what she was saying.....damn sneaky!!! Now your poor kids have no parents... let's give you the parent of the year award🙄!!!
