Wild Witness Testimony | "48 Hours" Full Episodes

[@kylemarkermusic]

It’s always extra sad to me when a family member is guilty of a crime against their own family, and the remaining family members are in such strong denial that they can’t see it.

[@tiffanimcmillian3058]

If you're talking about Brandon, he most certainly did not do it

[@louieedwards7627]

​@@tiffanimcmillian3058and houw did you come to that conclusion? Just look at the evidence?

[@manusha1349]

Agreed, it makes a horrible situation so much worse. The evidence doesn't change because a person refuses to "believe" it. Her answers are bizarre, not using words, many times answering with "hmm" and "uh-huh". Not very serious.

[@denisewilson8367]

I can't believe that people hear a blood curdling scream & won't even call 911. You don't have to go look, just call 911.

[@ellieantar809]

[@TurkeyCreekGal]

I completely agree! It's unbelievable to me when people say "I don't stick my nose in others business" & someone ends up hurt or killed because of it!

[@nikkihayes9236]

God knows I would! Besides, those who claim they don't peep outside, hiding behind a window, when they hear drama next door are being untruthful.

[@Mark-gg6iy]

Agreed, and it also angers me when the police do not challenge people with this attitude. There is no good reason why the police should not respond with "is that how you would want somebody to respond if it were you or somebody you care about was in the same situation?" I think the police care more about offending somebody who is entirely too sensitive.

[@nb-user25]

You hear someone screaming no, it hurts, CALL THE POLICE! I once heard a woman moaning for help outside my condo at 3am and called the non-emergency police line and they sent a cop car out to look around. No harm.

People Scream bcuz they need help & are hoping someone will come to their aid! It’s always Better to be safe than sorry If you hear an Adult screaming then just call the authorities. Children on the other hand do scream while they’re just playing but you can usually tell the difference in life threatening & play…but if you’re not sure then again it’s better to be safe & call than sorry for not.

Mothers murdering babies in the womb. Feminism. Narcissism. Divorce. Broken relationships between parents and children...generations. Lord. Have. Mercy.

Though I normally would agree, when my dad had Covid he texted us and told us he was so sick he couldn’t talk or get out of bed. So we didn’t really get a chance to talk to him until after a few days. But we did keep checking in through text. I guess it could have been a situation where his wife killed him and kept his phone but thankfully it was covid (from which he recovered, thankfully)

As much as in this case Brandon seems like a good suspect, having autism, and therefore, come across emotionless, is by not means a sign that someone is automatically guilty. I have worked with people with autism for over 15 years and the way that he is acting is totally normal. Again, Brandon could have done it, I don’t know, but law enforcement needs more training and assistance on how to handle people with disabilities. It boils my blood that because he didn’t show empathy he was immediately considered a suspect without any proof just yet.
