I was married for nearly 3 years when I found out my mother in law wasn't dead. My husband told me she had died a couple years before I met him. Then one day me, him, his bro and bro's wife we're visiting and talking. The dead MIL came up and bro's wife says "Yeah well I wouldn't take a check from her!" And I went do what?? They all looked at each other with a "Woops" expression. It was one of many lies that came out but I felt this bizarre feeling at the time... it was crazy. I've met the MIL since we've been divorced. lol Come to find out he'd taken our twins as babies to see her and I never knew.

David doesn’t get any of my sympathy at all. He betrayed a boy that thought the world of him and all the crying in the world after he got caught won’t change that.

I have a 17 yr old son to him, and sadly, he's turning into his dad, he's seen too much , especially in the last 3 years, after our split. But, he's seen what his dad truely is, and he's seen me grow, get clean and flourish without the dead weight. I know he won't be a kid forever, but that feels like cold comfort atm. I miss him, I miss the gd times we spent together. Narcissism, psychopathy & Machiavellianism are the usual suspects in so many of these monsters crimes. I pray that my ex will stay the heck away from me forever. He doesn't know where I live, I'm about 99% sure, & I honestly don't think he's brave enough to come looking for me, as sadly, I've changed too, I now stand up for myself, but have developed a mean streak that is hard to control, as well as having DID from my traumatic childhood, it's all very frightening, I'm finding.

I don't know if you took my suggestion to do this case but I believe I left it in the comment if you did then thank you another suggestion would be Theresa knorr she horrificly killed her two daughters with the help of her sons each at different times she was jealous of them I believe and she also thought they were putting spells on her to make her fat and ugly this was on Cold Case files and the case really stuck with me over the years if definitely falls into torture and murder

No one will read this but sometimes when I eat M&M's, I like to hold two M&M's between my fingers and squeeze as hard as I can until one of the M&M's cracks. I eat the cracked one, and the one that didn't crack becomes the winner. Then I grab the winning M&M and force it to compete with the reigning M&M champion in this deadly game of M&M gladiators. I do this until I run out of M&M's, and when there is only one M&M left standing, I then send a letter with the champion M&M inside of it to the company that manufactures them with an attached note that reads "please use this M&M for breeding purposes"

I absolutely love this channel. Your voice is soothing also. I listen to a story or a few everyday.

When my grandmother died I stayed in her old house (to keep it safe) for a few weeks whilst going through probate. It was right out in the middle of the arse end of nowhere with no signal/WiFi. I had to go up to the village church that was the only place to receive any signal and I downloaded a bunch of these episodes. It was such a lovely and heartbreaking time and this channel got me through a really tough time. Thanks mate, lifetime fan.

This was one of the most disturbing cases you've covered. The cruelty and manipulation was utterly disgusting. I just don't get how ppl can be so heartless and evil.

I know the husband is a victim as well but tbh he stopped being a victim the moment he joined in on the abuse. I don’t feel sorry for him, actions have consequences 🤷‍♀️

I've found your channel fairly recently and have been watching it pretty much nonstop since, you have great writing, the hooks in the beginning always get me interested in the case right at the start. Also I hear you talk about how you used to be a construction worker a lot so it seems like you're just a normal guy with an interest in true crime, for some reason I find that comforting, not sure if that's just me being weird lol. Anyways keep up the great work, your videos just keep getting better! :)

I was in residential construction for more than 20 years. I'm one of the lucky few who kinda benefited from the pandemic. I was a project manager for a remodeling company and I was on salary, so when we had to initially shut down jobs, I was able to spend more time on my podcast (which I was already doing on the side) and it gave me the time to make the podcast into a KZread show. I was off completely for 2 weeks with pay, then I spent the next few months working 20-25 hours a week. I had started the podcast for me. I'm an introvert and my daily life was dealing with other people who were often unhappy and usually being fairly unreasonable. I just wanted something to do on my own. I would read and research and then tell a story and it was a nice way to calm myself from the anxiety that the daily interactions I had caused. At some point one of my videos got a bunch of views and it kinda made the channel snowball and once I was making enough money from it I did not hesitate to quit my job. I love building. I owned my own business for a while where I focused on finish work and would install all the trim and make custom pieces like built-in bookshelves or fireplace mantels. I can build a house from scratch. I just don't like dealing with other people. If I ever find the right house that would be a good property to flip, I totally would. I could remodel it without having a customer and that would be perfect. Otherwise, I get to tell stories and research people who I find fascinating. It's a dream job. Thanks so much for watching!

this case is absolutely insane. I have watched lengthy accounts of this one and read her daughters book. Shelly is definitely a serial killer, whether she’s been charged for it all or not. I believe she murdered the elderly man in her care, too, and the boy who stayed with them, and the 2 people they know she killed.

i can't even get my room mate to wash dishes and she convinced a grown man to repeatedly jump off the roof to punish himself.

It goes immediately to Google & the back button doesn’t show up so it looks like Google was the first page you visited. Love that so much & I love the you included that in your video.

I first heard about this story not even a week ago, & thought this can't be real. You're the third channel I've watched that's covered this case. Unfortunately, it's real. I mean, my mom is a textbook mean & heartless narcissist. But Shelley makes me want to get my mom a mother of the year plaque!

I keep thinking about how much she must have been freaking out when her husband didn't come home lol

michelle has the exact same hair piper laurie had as the crazy mother in 1976 CARRIE

So tired of psychopaths using the emotional excuse of why they had to burn , mutilate or dissect a body by always exclaiming “I didn’t know what to do!!” This after they said the victim died naturally or accidentally.

Thank you for making a video on this. “If You Tell” by Gregg Olsen is an amazing detailed book about Shelly and her sadism, Dave, and their crimes. Definitely recommend.

Really nice that you're including now more of the live interrogations footage. I'm following the channel for a longer while and definitely see it's development. Keep up the great work, big kudos for the content!

Dear Daughters, I hope your journey to healing this trauma finds you awash in love and joy that you never let go of. Only those who have seen the depths of evil can experience the height of true love as you break away from the generational bounds. Your courage and strength will carry you far far away. Rest in peace to poor souls of Raymond, esp your beloved Shane who loved you.

That is what every person who interacts with a narcissist will eventually look like if they don't make a break. SHE DESTROYED THIS MAN AND EVERYONE WITH WHOM SHE HAS HAD CONTACT.

It's crazy the hold a mother has on her kids, some kids have a perfectly normal loving mom and barely speak to her later in life and others I know had hideous monsters at moms and they're so protective of them.

@@Mataylor17 err no. Not sure what kind of people youre talking about but the love of a child to their parents is so strong that it takes a LOT for an adult child to decide to cut a parent off and it is always after forgiving them over and over. When it comes to a point where the adult child realizes their parent will not rest until they've driven a truck through their every small achievement, be that relationship, parenting or work, they accept they have no choice but to limit or cease contact.

I've heard this one elsewhere, but it still sickens me to know this woman was able to get away with all of this for so long!!

This monster was released from prison in 2022. Just for the record. Her grandmother was a psycho as well.... apparently this condition was some kind of family tradition. Thankfully the daughters got away. Hopefully they will recover to be healthy members of society. This is a very real monster in disguise of a woman is walking free since 2022.

You tell horrific stories very well. You are highly appreciated. My husband was murdered I truly appreciate you taking the time to tell us about the victim.

Shelly’s eyes have no light in them… That’s all I needed to see 😢

Great video. I guess Shelley sought out a pushover like David purposefully. He probably felt such a relief after confessing. The prison he’ll go to will be far better than the prison of his mind pre-confession.
