I don't think it falls apart because there is very little motive to murder him. She already stole and gave her children the money, and if you change the will and then kill him then that will is not going to pan out because you don't want everyone to look into it. Events of getting fired and realising that she is going to get arrested aligns more with suicide then murder. So we have weak motive, so it is possible that truth is somewhere in between. Like for example she planned to kill him and her self but she chickned. On the other had if she was so willing to die why she didn't do it when situation went from bad(5 years in prison and fucked up relationships) to worse(life in prison). It just feels like we are missing whole story here.

I had a big laugh when the dispatcher said “Ok, tell me what happened” and the lady calling in the body replied with something along the lines of “Well nothing has happened, but there’s a dead body on the shore right in front of our house” HOW does finding a dead body on the shore in front of your house = nothing happened!?

I might not even be human. Maybe I'm a bot. How could he "love" me-- he's never met me! He doesn't know I exist. If I die tonight he'd never know-- or care. Is he Jesus, extolling his love for all mankind? Or is it just a phrase with no meaning, impact or consequence? Because it has no meaning, impact or consequence. Mike gives me the impression of being a genuine guy. But that is the most disingenuous thing I've ever heard anyone say, and a sad cheapening of the power of the phrase "I love you" said with genuine emotion to an actual human. I find it sad.

Hey you! I live in the Coeur d’Alene area and I think I learned more about this case from this video than anything else. Thank you so much for your awesome videos! I appreciate all the work you put into them for sure.

I really appreciate the work that goes into these videos. Most crime channels are very monotone and serious. I enjoy the comedic value you bring to this type of content. So glad I stumbled apon this channel!

Thanks for the story. But...What about her "needy" daughters. I get it how moms may feel the need to go beyond sane behavior for their kids. But embezzle 500K? Sounds like they were more involved and should have more consequences than probation.

Lori holds the smoothie in front of her husband. "This ... is not a smoothie."

I'm from Idaho but never heard of this case :0 this is why I appreciate you and your channel! Dad and I ended up watching this one together, he said he was surprised that of all places, you chose to cover a story from Idaho... Thanks for spreading awareness of this case!

I don’t remember my life before Mike and That Chapter. I freaking love this channel

So guys this guy is found his calling. As James said, his older stuff, where he was trying to figure out how to do this and how to present it, you can see clear motivations of his way he does the videos in his earlier stuff, but it's real rough and less believable, at any rate though, James said it, clear genius and I'm so happy to have found you. I usually throw your videos on the Bluetooth, the audio blaring in my vehicle when I go anywhere. It's basically a podcast but better! Thanks for the time that you spend on this stuff, and then making an engaging, entertaining way of being able to call nsume the stories, it takes real genius to do that. Yes Mike - I'm calling you a genius!

Mike posting is a highlight of the day. As usual his storytelling never disappoints.

This is a comment for my friends in the That Chapter community: Yesterday I commented and today, that comment has been my most liked and replied to comment or post anywhere. I have always been a loner and never had a ton of friends and I’ve always been okay with that. You all have given me a sense of community that I haven’t really felt before just by simply liking a comment I made and showing me that others appreciate this channel as much as I do and have similar sentiments about the quality and consistency we all get from Mike each week. Thank you all, you really made my day! I truly wish nothing but the best for you all and I hope that you all stay safe in all your endeavors!

And I cannot believe that women did that . I guess you just never know 😓 . Trust is hard enough . Then “shit happens “

Just 1 minute into her story you already know she's BSing. A) She wouldn't say "couldn't find him", it means she mentally already closed the case. B) She wouldn't be sitting there telling stories if she really wanted him back, she would be fighting tooth and nail to keep looking. Her facial expressions and the way she talked immediately reminded me of that cop who got interrogated by partners about an old case, pretending she's not a suspect, forgot her name.

I love how Mike cuts through the rubbish in this and his other videos! Like he says, Lori didn't love Larry, she murdered him so as not to be 'kicked out on her arse'. Too bloody right!

What makes this channel kind of perfect is the fact that Mike is just…imperfect? That’s a praise, not a criticism. I’ll elaborate. What I mean by imperfect is, it seems that Mike has a loosely written script that he goes by; talking points, even. But his delivery is not always perfect. A word gets stumbled over here and there. His reaction to certain details of the story seems to be real world, rather than one that’s been predetermined. Like he’s almost just shooting from the hip as he tells the story. Those little idiosyncrasies kept in, not edited over, are what keep bringing me back. Like, there are pauses after a sentence while he searches for the right word to use. I love the loose edges. It doesn’t have to be so clean cut. His personality is conveyed through the storytelling. Which, in turn, gives the channel personality. So again, nothing but praise. Edit: Tree

It's another creepy example of the "partial truths" told by murderers. Her initial story of how he went to look at the engine, got a horrible look on his face, and he went over the side of the boat was 100% the truth. The part she skipped was the reason for the horrible look and reason he went over. It's got to be horrible to figure out your spouse is killing you. She's kind of like an older version of Jodi Arias in that way.
