Really? Can you explain more?

Strange how it wasn't mentioned in the documentary how Kathleen had an affair with Michael, and that she was best friends with Patty. 🤔 I think Michael was having an affair with Elizabeth Ratliff too. Did she try and end it? Would he not leave Patty for her? Because Michael couldn't get his own way with her, did he push her down the stairs, and then killed her because the fall didn't? They seemed to hot foot it back to the states afterwards. Is that before anyone became suspicious and too many questions were asked? 🤔 Kathleen and Michael never faught probably because he knew Kathleen held the purse strings. To get his own way, he had to be kind, she was the breadwinner and was keeping him financially. Did he push Kathleen down the stairs? Because that fall didn't kill her, he knew he had to kill her or he would be exposed. The Netflix documentary was definitely one-sided. There's so much more we just haven't been told. 🤔

It’s sadly not strange: Netflix documentary ended being paid by Michael Peterson’s legal team, so many things never were said. As I suspect by watching the first episode of HBO drama, (correct me if I’m wrong because I didn’t keep watching it as it is fictional), is based on the documentary… so highly biased too.

I watched the original documentary series, which I believe is the one you're referring to as the netflix one, back in 2004. I am the typical person who approaches this docs hoping that the accused is innocent ans that they're gonna be found as such. I can guarantee you that with Michael Peterson my jaw dropped to the floor already on the 1st episode. I'd never seen a guiltier mf in my life. Whether they left thing out or not, all the elements included in the original series led to a different conclusion. Very few people who watched it at the time, if any thought he was innocent. The users internet boards were all but unanimous in that respect, I can tell you. Now, for the fictionalised series: lots of things I didn't like, including the reconstruction of the owl attack which might render the theory. Also, Colin Firth, as perfectly as he could mimic Peterson's mannerisms, is way too warm and likeable to convey that sneaky, cold eyed creep. Instinctively many people would have partially sympathised with him, when they wouldn't with the irl physically repulsive Michael. Then again it also gave us a few glimpses of what went on behind the apparently united front that formed his 4x children, although I don't know how accurate those scenes are.

Hi Todd: Wow, I feel your pain over your Mom s struggles and sadness that spanned her life. I know that kind of pain because I carry it around myself in relation to my own mom's life. It can feel at times unbearable that I need to shut down and isolate myself. I ve seen instagram stories meant to reach out to people who were so hurt in childhood and continue to carry that around and the advise is to honor your mom in your heart when your mind brings up your pain surrounding your mom. Uhh, I m still trying to remember to do that but learning how to go on with that sorrow and still live a healthy life is I must believe worth striving for. Your Mom would not want you to continue to grieve for her and would want to see you trying to heal. I hope you try, Todd. Take care of yourself so your love for your Mom can live through you and connect you with a rich life.

Kathleen being the other woman and friend of Patricia sounds like a pattern. Reminds me of Elizabeth, another friend of Patricia’s, who also came to an early end.

You are strong. You have been through the worst of it, but you can begin to heal. May God bless you.

I'm sorry about your mom, she seemed like a lovely and very intelligent woman. Prayers for your family.

What I want to know is if any of the kids lived with them in the last two years of Kathleen's life, or did they just come home on holidays. Did the kids know about their monumental money problems they had; they did not know about their father's propensities. No way would Kathleen accept that conduct, especially with a daughter.

Don’t have affairs. It can come back to haunt you. Many times it does. Horrible thing to do to someone.

Nothing but love for you Todd, very sorry you’ve had such terrible pain in your life.

Todd we have a lot in common. My Dad killed my mom but got away with it. I'm truly sorry for your pain.. I relate.

My ex-husband walked out one day. I did not see it coming. I was expecting our third and we had been married 19 years. I am sure your mother was a wonderful mom. She loved her sons like I loved mine. I was a polar bear and nobody was going to hurt my cubs. I have two sons and a daughter. Love them with my entire being. Your mom I am sure would go to the moon and back for her children.

Sorry for your loss. No one can steal anyone, your father chose to go.

@TEAPLEASE HBO’s is fiction while Netflix’s is an actual documentary. That said, the Netflix one is made only with Michael Peterson point of view (the district attorney stop cooperating once they discovered that the documentary was compromised for many reasons). For instance, they discovered that Peterson was having an affair with the woman on charge of the editing (the one who will decide what scenes will be shown in the documentary. In that moment they stopped cooperating and demanded the recording material unedited to use it in court. Peterson lawyer decided not to do that legally using a trick: hiring the documentary team as part of his legal team. That way they didn’t have to send the attorney the recordings but since then, obviously the documentary was not objective anymore. But I still think that the documentary was good and enough to come to your own conclusions.

@@CuppaTeaT.V. Well, I thank you for sharing this video and your thoughts about the case. I was following this case since the beginning through many sources and by allowing us to listen what Todd has to say about everything is another piece of information that allows me to try and solve the puzzle… but I think that sadly, at this point he has not lots of credibility. Todd is not perfect: nobody is. And I’m not trying to troll your channel :) Actually my thoughts about the case are similar to yours: I always suspected that Todd arrived before police did and somehow helped his father. That could explain why in the last years Todd made heavy accusations against his father in his social media accounts but he did nothing in real life about those accusations: if he did that, maybe he should admit that maybe he was involved in his father’s cover up or that he lied on the trials. I totally understand that you didn’t know that HBO was going to release a drama about the case after so many years, but most comments you get here about people thinking that you’re Todd are full of good intentions and wishes. So I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong about having these videos posted. I’m a former journalist and having access to all the possible sources of information (specifically first hand like this videos), have a lot of value.

Your mom was the lucky one, he could’ve murdered her too. The owl theory was insane, and nobody bought the story either.

My dad left my mom for a 17 yr old. I was only 5 but I can remember it like it was yesterday. I’ve had to deal and be nice to her to this day. I know what you’ve gone thru and it’s horrible. I’m so sorry but therapy does help tremendously

I’m so proud of you for facing your truth brother. I hope nothing but the best for you.

Todd- I agree that Kathleen made a grave error in judgement. Considering that Kathleen's own husband had cheated on her- it's a shame that Kathleen would behave that way as well. Michael is very manipulative and I believe that he moves in on vulnerable women. As for Patty, your mother, she too was manipulated by Michael as well. In spite of his adultery Patty stayed with him and also defended him against accusations. She also invited him back into her life. Narcissistic sociopaths hone in on vulnerable women- and play them. I've been married twice and NEVER fought with my husband in front of ANYONE- especially the children. No one ever knew what I was enduring. So- as for Kathleen and Michael- I serously doubt they never had arguments. They may not have had knock down drag out brawls- but I'm sure they had disagreements in private. All married couples do.

He describes a sex addict aka Narcissist. And a codependent (his mother), been there & fortunately escaped but I'm in no doubt had I stayed I'd of ended up likely dead. Bless his mom, same backstory, mother was abused, my grandparents were abused & they passed it down. My siblings are abusive & I'm no contact. It's the worst pain, you're an orphan yet have a "family" that in no way behave like one. It's all secrets & lies, manipulation & drama. You can't change them. I hope this man finds peace, I can't even imagine the trauma hes gone through. Heartbreaking.

Margaret is his. There is no way she would look exactly like Michael or Todd otherwise.

Ok first off I AM SO SORRY FOR WHAT YOUR MOTHER WENT THROUGH IT'S CALLED BATTERED WOMAN SYNDROME. The abuse can be mental as well as physical sounds like she was mentally abused by Michael Peterson as well as her Father which you're 100% correct that sets up a woman to be abused by another man in our life because they do not feel they are worth anything. 2nd point just because you didn't see them already doesn't mean they didn't. No one has a marriage where they do not argue at all. 3rd not clear if you think Michael Peterson actually killed Kathleen maybe that's not important to what you're saying but I'd like to know your opinion on that. I'm of the belief that he is 100% guilty

He is telling the truth. This makes sense. I thought this myself. I am in awe.I always believed Michael Peterson killed 2 women and got 7 years in jail for it.

A narcissist does not tell people their feelings because they really don't have any other than for themselves. They concentrate on telling people what they think they want to hear , there is nothing genuine about them. He didn't love Kathleen or Patricia. He only loves himself. I am sorry Todd I hope u can learn to get past all of this u seem like a very nice dude and have to learn to move on from it all. Hopefully 1 day your siblings will come aroumd also. I just watched a case tht reminded of this stair case one. Only 1 state south of you , S.C. Alex Murdaugh. There are some similarities to the 2 of them. Alex n Michael.

Michael's 911 call alone seemed to be scripted by Michael. Most would of thought Kathleen was attacked , not fell down the stairs when u seen that crime scene. People tht have high degree of Narcissism do nothing but use people, they use their spouse and their own children. Todd u do not deserve any of this tht has happened to you u need to find a way to turn it all around, and make it into who u are today.. So sorry bud.
