Can you imagine the low self esteem that makes her think he's the best option. So sad

[@roguechevelle]

All her children believe him and were angry at her, they stood behind him in court that wasn't mentioned here. When you got family friends and all your children believing he didn't do it you tend to question if they are right. Thankfully she came to her senses and moved on with her life.

I have so many concerns about this case. 1. Exactly how expensive is divorce in their state that this man would continue to pay for this murder? 2. How stupid is Frank? 3. It's alarming to me that police departments, even in the United States would rather a victim than prevent a crime from happening 😞

[@C.C-os1cz]

Exactly what I thought

[@kenwillis8487]

I guessing the meth heads started threatening to talk if he didn’t pay more money! Or maybe since it wasn’t his money to begin with he didn’t care how much he spent!

[@IndescribablyMe]

If there's no victim there's no crime.

[@a.evelyn5498]

You’ve hit the nail on the head with #3!!! & then when there actually IS a crime they often couldn’t care less about doing due diligence unless there’s some external pressure on them, like from public scrutiny if the situation makes the news cycle for example. The pigs- oops(!) I meant police seem to always find excuses for not investigating as they should, especially if it’s a missing person who is 18+ or even a teenager as they are always labeled as a runaway, that is until their body shows up & it turns out they’d only recently been killed & if the police had done their jobs then the death could have been avoided. Sorry- I’m bitter.

[@KatSpade1018]

Well Jasmin, I'm thinking... 1. Less than the cost of repeatedly paying the cost of a murder along with the cost of multiple bail amounts. 2. Stupid enough not to realize that ppl that repeatedly get arrested will snitch him out for trying to kill his wife for a lesser punishment in their current cases and he will have provided proof of their story by signing his name on the bond papers with receipt for payment. It establishes a connection between him and the hit men and also raises the question of why is a millionaire repeatedly bonding out broke dope heads. 3. Cops don't believe broke dope heads. They prob figured they were making it all up in an attempt to score a plea deal in exchange for snitching on Frank's murder conspiracy. Meth heads come up with all kinds of stores that never happened. However, the police should always investigate a claim like that regardless of who it comes from just in case. Also, meth heads know everything about everybody in the streets so even if they lied about him offering to specifically pay Them to do this job, it's highly likely that they did actually hear a story in the streets about him offering someone money to kill his wife. You never can tell for sure or not but if police were doing the job they're getting paid for then that requires them to look into any information brought to their attention. They had a responsibility to make sure she was safe, just in case but instead chose to disregard their statement. Luckily she didn't die as a result. There's evidently no intelligent players anywhere in this tale. Can't imagine what that community must be like 😂

Your final thoughts on infidelity being like a powerful drug are clear and true. People's motivations for going into affairs go way beyond the sexual, I think it's more often a delusional plan to "have it all" and escape the present, unfulfilling life. The affair must seem like the solution to all of a cheater's problems. (Spoiler alert for cheaters: it isn't).

Hey Doc. Any chance you could do a video about the "Garden Gnome Massacre", in Florida twenty years ago, when three elderly Floridians were found murdered, and one cop -- *only one* -- discovered that the "garden gnomes" in their front yard were all in *slightly different positions* than before the murders! This poor guy lost his job because of this -- no one wanted to believe that garden gnomes could come to life and murder their owners -- but he once had a friend who was into black magic, and he knew what a spell could occasionally do. A few days after he was fired, he disappeared forever. And so did the gnomes. So if you could do a video about it, that would be really cool. Thanks!!

Yes! yes, yes! Hey, if you are liked, you can do anything. What a screwed up hypocritical family. She was twisted around the little fingers of the hypocrite daughters who liked their father more than their mother. It all boils down to that. I don't know: Do you really feel such a deep pity for a woman who doesn't appear to value her own life? Yes, such deep betrayal takes a moment or two to fully grasp & believe. That is true. It was a devastating blow both physically & mentally. But there comes a time, you must quickly realize what is going on--especially with something so deadly serious. I would never have done that to my mother. My mother would never have annulled herself like that. Never in a million years. She was in an abusive marriage & it was horrible due to many circumstances. She got out of it with ten cents in her pocket, got a fabulous job thanks to a rich neighbor who knew someone & soon enough regained her natural self esteme which was never ever lost completely.

Frank should have filed a report with the police. It's a shame you just can't take someone at their word anymore. Seems to me it would have been easier and cheaper to just divorce his wife.😉

My cousin's husband hired a hitman. Luckily, it was turned over to the cops. Her husband was arrested, and they divorced. Before the trial started, they got remarried, and she testified for him! He was found guilty and spent several years in prison. That was in 1999, and they are still married today! The family has nothing to do with them now.

Also this is a laughable statement, however true (that the wife remarried the bad husband)

Human behaviour does continue to baffle. But thanks, as always, Dr. Grande.

[@koebiqueen5386]

Hello Dr., It is really something that he told the police he was a hired hit man. That is a major fumble on the police. Also, could you analyze the case of : Alya Reynolds or Dennis Dechaine All Maine cases. Thank you for the great videos. E

I imagine that Frank wanted the security of a relationship, regardless if it was his new relationship or the one with his wife. It sounded like Frank had a lot of money to spare. I am curious why mates don't ask more questions when their mates tell them of their unhappiness.

You should check out the case of the man whose wife tried repeatedly to kill him, forgave her completely. A movie was made of it called I Love You Death. A dark comedy. People are indeed strange.

14:51 + 15:01 ✅💯 Thanks for this overview Dr. Grande. Excellent evaluation.

Wow! 🤪 Just when you think you've heard it all... Dr. Grande brings this to the table

Her kids turned out to be jerks too, and abandoned her

[@Meela234]

Really? I wonder why.

[@dianemorton2222]

She was deeply in love with her husband and does not want to face reality. The reality is too horrible. Frank is just a monster. At least she moved on.

[@gasmith7486]

How can you be “deeply in love” with someone who tried to have you killed?

[@buzzyboo6673]

How did Billy and the other hitmen explain needing more and more money when they hadn't done anything?
