When A Psycho Thinks He Just Got Away With Murder

- On May 21 2016 around 4:30 p.m., 35-year-old Douglass Detrie filed this report after his live-in girlfriend, Nicole Vanderheyden, didn’t end up coming home since last night’s party. This nightout would turn out to be the most gruesome and twisted cases in the histroy of the Brown County.
Usually, after a missing person’s report is filed, the police confirm more details by meeting the caller and then carry out a search for the missing person. But for some reason, this missing person suspiciously matched the description of someone who was discovered 3 hours ago in a farm field.
After this shocking reveal, the missing person’s case turned into a possible homicide as the dead body was identified as Nicole Vanderheyden.
Man, everyone was throwing Detrie under the bus! The babysitter, the sister, even the actual killer! Fit bit for the win!
Thank Goodness that fit bit saved him.

That poor guy. Did the police ever apologize?
@@user-qr9ze3fb6rthey never do. They have group narcissism
When you need answers within hours, the police are only weeks away.
Lol
ROFL
🤣
True but also kinda sad
That babysitter was trying to make damn sure the boyfriend got prosecuted for this before she knew ANY details at all. Like "why would you let her walk alone"? Excuse me hon, but I'm a grown woman and when I was pissed at my boyfriend, he didn't LET me do anything- if I wanted to get away from his a** I did exactly that regardless of what he wanted. Maybe they weren't the greatest couple or he wasn't a great boyfriend but being a crappy partner is a far, far cry from being a murderer. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you do your best to twist everything they've ever said or done or make things up to fit your twisted little scenario. If you truly cared about your friend, you'd actually be as open and truthful as possible to try and find her, not spend so much effort trying to demonize one person you have no real evidence against.
She was horrible
She isn't a detective she is just a friend and if your friend was in a bad relationship, plus you didn't like him, then ya friend ends up alone on a night out and dead, u are going jump to those conclusions, you wouldn't be nice about it. If my mate ended up dead, I think I would still blame him for leaving her alone. Ya shouldn't leave ya mates or girlfriend..anything could happen. If I left my mate alone, fight, or no fight, I would be full of guilt if she ended up dead.
Exactly!
Thank you for speaking up for this guy. It’s pretty obvious there was significant dysfunction in this relationship; but that babysitter was a nasty piece of work.
@@cowoverthemoo"Ya" shouldn't have skipped grammar class.
That babysitter didn't help at all.
She decided he killed her in her head and almost got this innocent man convicted because she’s a scared girl who probably hates men.
She comes off like a total burnout.
Did you look at that crack head?
At least she had her weed for the babysitting gig. 🙄 With the 6 month old.
@@TheRJH9erOh plz, you act like she was smoking rocks lmaooooo
Channels such as these are just as much about exposing detectives as it is exposing suspects.
Remember you can be a victim, and the police will stare at you blankly while you break down... then arrest you
Oh man that is so true! Well said.
Thar kinda their job!
hence: acab
there's no situation that the presence of police can't make ten times worse
@@clown134 wild take
maybe, except for the thousands of situation proving it true @@theclown2483
I AM IN TEARS WATCHING THE BOYFRIEND GRIEVE, WOW, THIS IS HARD TO WATCH,,
Doug tried to rape Nicole's sister 9 months after the murder. No reason to pity him. All those people are awful
Not his girlfriends friends & sister Tho. They throw detrie under bus 😂😂
He was detoxing.
@@prevost8686off what
It’s hard to tell really, some people could get an Oscar is that interrogation room😅
The baby sitter is something else. She shouldn't be around kids anymore after this. Doug is lucky they found DNA evidence otherwise he could have been locked in due to poor police work.
she didnt do anything to the kid though so i dont see why that would be the case. she just sucks and probably hates men, did u see her hair? shes a 4th wave feminist
They had evidence right from the start that Detrie wasn't anywhere near her that night! They both had GPS on their phones and different cell phone towers their phones pinged off ffs!! Damn keystone cops!!
WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME - STORIES OF MEN SPENDING 28 30 YEAR'S BEHIND BARS..
You don’t need to be guilty to be in prison, that’s the scary part. My heart breaks for him and a baby.
Recently someone told a joke : whats the difference between white and black prisoners? Whites are actually guilty
They could have used their common sense instead of box ticking. Very weird police department glad I don't live anywhere near that place.
nothing really unique about them imo. this is just what cops do do to people with no attorney
It seems that there's very little, if any, critical thinking skills in most of these interrogations.
Although I had a sibling who was murdered, I no longer believe in the death penalty except where evidence is is really profound. Cases like this one when you think of how cops will put you in jail and day's bring forth cases on very little or no proof and how many innocent individuals states have murdered or incarcerated for decades!!!! 🙄💔
This is how ALL departments work, dont be naive. Standard procedure. Clear cases, PERIOD. Innocent or guilty, clear cases.
That woman was about to send that man down for a crime he didn’t commit, thankful technology exonerated him. Even the sister started character assassinating him
100 % agree usually innocent people don't mind talking to the police they just want to resolve the issue but it ends up turning around on them and when you lawyer up it makes you look guilty so you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
Yup, I'm sure if those cops could've found the dude's priest they would've got him to say, "Fuck'em..."
@@ericerto8250 The presence of a lawyer will prevent you from being arrested for exactly what you just said, "based on how it looks". You may be arrested based on actual evidence but not on total hope and speculation, like this guy was.
I mean it's not totally unreasonable, even based on statistics alone. not saying it's right or anything, but it's hard to see what anyone would do in that scenario
@@ericerto8250that's actually not true. you are not damned if you do get an attorney. in fact, if every single person in all these true crime videos had gotten attorneys, I'm guessing 90% of the videos would not even exist
Just another example on why you should never speak with the cops without an attorney.
Or mayb.. i dont know... dont murder people?
@sirKAA that'll work too...😊
@@PukeBucket6598 Both of these sound like a good policy. I'm gonna write this down...
@@sirKAA nah that's going a little too far. I'll just keep my mouth shut.
@@sirKAAyou can't control other people's behavior but yours
Found nothing at his house, nothing on his clothes, no scratch marks zero yet still arrested based history of angry text messages when only one of them were angry. They'll pin it on anyone they can just to get home in time for dinner.
Bad policing! It’s a theme in the United States unfortunately!
Yep! And to look like they solved it in the eye of the public, if they've been getting a lot of attention on the case
Arrested??! Oh, no! I'm only at hour one, and I am so frustrated with the dopey police and then hearing they were going to spend time search warranting his home and her car and his clothes and all that rigamarole when they should have seen the obvious and started canvassing the route and looking for CCTV. Gawd! God! It's horrible and terrifying to see lazy, insensitive people in charge of crucially important matters!
@@CapeCodTrueCrimeChannelmore then just the US
Didnt find anything? From boyfriend,or the killer ? Dna on the sock ? Gps data pinpointing him at every step?
And he,the killer, was there , he carryed her after she was dead , he even admitted to it?
Or do i misunderstand you ? Got it all wrong? (I have a language barriere)...
Cops did horrible , yes. To that,i really agree.
But i dont understand the comments about no proofs...
What the hell is this? What a shame for Detrie. I think I'd have gone mad dealing with so much. I got reminded of the poor young man who was a crime victim and had been shot in the eye yet the police kept him in their car for hours and went on to interrogate him while his brain was shutting down. He lived for a short while afterwards and needed constant care from his family.
I've seen that one too. It was awful. Poor guy!
1:01:07
I never wanted to comfort a person so much in my life. And that fat slob is just standing over him, thinking he's being intimidating 🖕
I saw that interrogation vid of the guy who was shot in the eye. The detectives' handling of this case is a definite parallel to that one. I can't imagine how Detrie held up while so many suspected him, even his family. Hopefully, they all got through it okay. And, thankfully, some determined investigators fought and won to introduce that great FitBit evidence.
I always think of that case..it makes me soo mad how they didn't realize something was wrong with him..he ended up losing his sight.police took hours before getting him help.
He actually lived for several years, but he needed constant medical care and his brain never recovered. He couldn't do anything for himself, and I don't think he could talk either. His parents cared for him until his death, which happened after he got sick with something else.
Know Your Rights people!! These cops did nothing to look for the real killer!!
Even if you cannot afford an attorney, ask for one and say NOTHING. Any statement you provide will be used against you because that is the job of the prosecution.
@@iamnikkideleonyep then they get all mad when u do be quiet. They say it's suspect. I say dude ur literally trying to put me in a cage. We r not friends.
Remember Jonbennet?
These officers*
And they did plenty to search for & find the real killer, even going above & beyond.
@@iamnikkideleonsounds like the actions of someone with a guilty conscience…
This guy is a monster and the fact that his defense was to keep blaming Doug made him even more unlikable imo
With "people" like them, it's never their fault.
Other than the dreads, I think shes gorgeous. Im only at her testifying on the stand so I can't speak for what may come.
Just because a man makes a mistake doesn't make him a monster. What if she led him on? What if she asked for it? You ought to start thinking critically more often. You can't blame a man for anything that happens after a man gets turned on.
Wowwww. This shit is crazy.
I literally just got the biggest unexpected, most mysterious boner of my life while typing this comment.
What shall I do now??
What to do what to do?
Oh, I know,
How about you 🫵 🤷🖕🫵
@@CraigStCyrPlus bro nobody even mentioned the babysitter lol, are you good? 😂
@@EggsAreGood55 absolutely replied to the absolute wrong comment. thanks
The most incompetent department I've ever seen...wow. Just wow.
Wow yourself…
innocents get locked away all the time
You've obviously never been around our country or even watched TH-cam. Enjoy the crayons you eat!
The only reason this case is as infamous as it is is solely due to the incompetency of the investigators in this case. There was NO evidence whatsoever for any arrest warrant which is mind blowing. They arrested him on the way he treated past relationships even though none of it was in any illegal manner.
That's why this case is so scary. It doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't matter what you do. You're guilty in the eyes of the incompetent investigators...and if people have issues with that then perhaps they shouldn't be so bad at their jobs. I live in a town that is not only voted one of the top cities to visit and live in yet we're also known for being the town in which you go if you want to get away with murder.
When there's more unsolved than solved then people have every right to speak out...and this town is just North of where this took place so we all know what we're talking about. We've lived it and we're tired of it. Do your effing jobs! Or get out! You didn't do your jobs. You jumped to conclusions and almost allowed for a true homicidal maniac to kill someone else's child as well because that's what they do...especially, when they got away with it in the past.
You're supposed to protect Us...not yourselves. Smh. Despicable...and like I said, living in a similar area it could've been mine. You all deserve a tongue lashing at the very least so handle it. You've earned it.
He literally did everything an innocent man would do. He immediately asked what happened. Do you know how many people don't ask that question??? Every guilty person. Pretty much. The laid back overweight detective decided he was guilty from the moment he walked in and even asked why Doug is so interested in them talking to the last person that saw her...that is what blew me away.
"Because, he was the last one to see her." ...why aren't you more interested?!? is my question. It's unbelievable. Smh.
Those were some HORRIBLE "detectives." They had watched No cctv footage in that area Or talked to anyone else. I Honestly hope the Dept considered Replacing those 2 So Called "detectives."
Yeah, a couple of total Richard Craniums
American police are terrible through and through, only about half of murders are solved. The problem is they don’t really give a shit about actually investigating and working the case…..all too often they take the easy route and make someone fit the crime.
Lol easy to criticize from afar. Probably makes u feel better about your own shortcomings
Lazy!
@@LordOfThePancakesalright detective we see you 👀
I can understand Doug..when he said; "She better be in jail"!
Because when my boyfriend wouldn't answer his phone i would think the same. That or the hospital😂😂😂
Exactly. The narrator here maybe doesn't understand what Detrie means by that statement. Sometimes I think that these narrators are either non American by birth, or culturally, or else come from a less than street-smart background. What Detrie means by that is that he and his friend spent the majority of their expected-to-be evening out (with babysitter hired) looking for someone who had a minimal responsibility to keep in touch with them and let them know where she was and that she was OK, if not be with them. And he was scared, frustrated, and even angry that she was not reachable. The two best reasons and possibilities would be jail or hospital. Other reasons would not be good.
I always thought the same when no one could reach my sister. If not a hospital, hopefully, she was in jail.
I forgot my phone once and i ended up in the hospital. Because my boyfriend couldn't reach me the first thing he did was calling the hospital and i was there!!!
It was not really serious but i had to stay there the whole day. He was worried.
Yup…it’s a totally normal thing to say/joke about. I was annoyed they tried to make it look like it was some sinister utterance.
@TheRJH9er Exactly. It's like "she better be in jail (because otherwise there's no excuse for making us worry like this)" It's silly that anyone would assume he meant that like "because that's where she deserves to be" 😂
The detectives doing the initial ground work are bloody awful. They have a narrative and it will be what they can fit in it.
The absolute pinnacle of laziness. Ignoring any actual investigation and focusing on the boyfriend. Frankly, they found the true murderer out of blind luck.
@@truevulgarian The cop was like, "It's not like we can go talk to people at 2:30AM." Bro, these are bars! You better hurry, you can still catch the bartenders.
They call that tunnel vision
Duuuudes, the guy needs a hug...for Christ sake. It takes a monster to ignore human suffering.
Why would anyone let that weirdo babysit their kids?
Because they’re weirdos too?
So they could have someone to watch the kids while they were gone
What about her makes her a “weirdo”? Her dreadlocks? Are you assuming what kind of person she is based on her appearance? That’s a pretty ridiculous way of judging someone don’t ya think?
She seems chill, tbh... But I'm biased cause I'm also a Cannabis user
Oh you didn’t like her appearance. You’re one of those people. Got it. 🤡
That was the best FitBit commercial I’ve ever seen
A good example of how not to be a detective. 😢
so true mate... so true
Detrie was treated worse than actual killer! If police knew about his condition should have to apologize & make right. For every minute he was mistreated those officers should need to pay out of their pockets so much to a hyperventilation Disorder awareness charity.
Hyperventilation disorder 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ok
@@Leoprincess3038 You're kinda ignorant aren't you? Hyperventilation is real; When a person hyperventilates, they blow off a lot of acid (CO2) and go into a state of alkalosis. The cure is simple have a person breathe into a paper bag. They rebreathe their own acid breath and the condition reverses itself. I'm shocked at those LAZY detectives' behavior! All they had to do was give him a paper bag. Alkaloses is very hard to reverse without the pts' help. If they are unconscious, they can actually die. I've seen it happen with critical care patients.
Those detectives are so cold to this guy!!! You're innocent until proven guilty.
And now you understand that cops don't care about you and your rights
@@gamer2021 A few cops botched an investigation.... means all cops don't care about you or your right......
What??? Don't breed my guy
No the fuck you're not
I agree, they were so cold and rude! In their eyes he was guilty and had to prove his innocence.
@@gamer2021 yes i know! Sometimes they are very understanding and compassionate. But not this detectives with this guy.
Scary as this poor guy easily could have been convicted if it weren’t for his lawyer. Thank GOD the lawyer got the fit bit evidence allowed so that guy was proven innocent . Cops need to change their protocol and try to find the real perps instead of trying to solve cases easily and quickly,they almost put an innocent man in jail
What's scary is the fact that there's innocent people in prison right now because of incompetence from law enforcement and the court system.
The cops don't care about actually catching the bad guys. They just was to close the case
I wonder if this detective even noticed he had one on (fit bit)
I was thinking the same thing. Thank god for his lawyer.
Read the story of my friend John Huffington …. An innocent man who was on death row 😢
I've seen detectives treat confessed killers with more compassion than they treated Detrie after telling him that it was probably her body and leaving him hyperventilating in an interegation room by himself.
US cops - no training, can't discern the truth, from lies, can't read human emotions - only good for downing donuts and fries. complete numbskulls.
I agree
I think McDeegroes is just telling folks not to do what she did...say "no" to friends and walk off alone.
Cops need some serious mental help. There is an issue. Check out the new street cops conference.
You're right. They fall over themselves to be nice & although I know that they do it to gain information, they could have made the effort with these guys too.
Her sister was notified of her death via text?! Wtf
Even better, the rest of the family found out by the news.
This was hard to watch..that grieving boyfriend had me crying...I feel so bad for him
Grieving? He didn't care about her until she was gone. .
SAME HERE, I AM A MESS,
@@minnie243He was the first person that called the police.
@@liquidbraino and? They live together and that's the mom of his child doesn't mean he cares about her especially after the sh it her sister said about him.
@@minnie243wow.Harsh talk about an innocent man.He called the police because he was worried about her.
why the fuck did nobody comfort that man
So sickly hard to watch
I know it was heartbreaking for him and a total lack of empathy from police officers.
Men don’t grieve or feel emotions in the same way that women do. A real man doesn’t need “comfort.”
@macysondheim Of course babies, children and women don't need comfort either. SMH.
Men don’t need “comfort” you’re mistaking him for a woman or child
@@macysondheimI think that's a very outdated, toxic and dangerous view to have. All humans feel emotions and the idea that men have to just suck it up has caused generations of damage to their mental wellbeing. Let's change the script for the better shall we ?
The baby sitter testified that when the boyfriend asked her if she had weed she said “ummm actually, I do.” 😂 she was trying to act like her having weed was completely random and not something that she is definitely known for having on her at all times 😂
I’m not sure why the finger pointing was at Detrie. He’s the most recent boyfriend, so it must be him. Except, Detrie was with other people when she went missing. Shows how strong bias can be once in the mind of people.
1:10:15 no way she expressed interest in this coward. He preyed on a heavily intoxicated woman. Please, women and men, always have a friend with u if u go out partying
Very very poor, tragic decision made by Nikki to run off like that. There are murderous, coward pieces of sh*t out there just waiting for a drunk girl to prey on.
She did... she went out with like 10 people.... and everybody tried to get her to stay with them... and even drove around after her !
Did you even watch the video ??
@@adambane1719yep it’s very hard to make someone drunk and upset leave with you or the group of friends if they don’t want to too
Sounds like she put her self in that situation maybe shouldn’t have stayed at the bar flirting with random dudes
where is the proof she was flirting? @@shitstick66
This is a terrible police department
I agree, they tarnish all the good detectives out there😡
I always said you guilty until proven innocent. Those detectives were cold-hearted. The detectives could have acted like they cared. I feel bad for the boyfriend for being in the position he was in.
My father always said…”nothing good happens after midnight”.
M'kay no shade but your dad sounds boring.
I get the sentiment, but I've been busy plenty after midnight and had some of my best times 😂
He isn’t wrong.
@@beevonerd you sound like you’ve lived a very sheltered life. And that’s a good thing. But just because you don’t understand how the world is, doesn’t mean someone keeping their daughter safe is “boring”.
@@k_j_n1242 I think it means being out in the streets after midnight. Not just being awake somewhere (safe).
This goes to show how incompetent these officers were at handling this case!
They are happy to get a conviction.... It's not really important if it's the actual killer...
The paranoid babysitter damn near, help the murderer get away
That babysitter is very very strange.
I agree. She seemed wishy-washy in her testimony. "I ran to my car." Why? Because it was dark? Or because she felt she was in the presence of a murderer? Um...kind of important to describe the difference, right?
Perpetual victim mentality
The police are even stranger.
Glad im not the not the only one confused by her
Haven’t seen the babysitter yet, but they likely didn’t ask to be part of this, and it’s not exactly easy to talk to police during an investigation, then add on knowing that the Internet will likely dissect your every word and gesture as “oh…,they looked left, or touched their hair, or held too much eye contact….that is a sign of lying!” (It isn’t. Or at least not with any accuracy.)
And in the past there have been multiple miscarriages of justice because people latched onto someone as suspicious because they were “odd,” and were dead wrong and the real criminal was later found definitively. Being strange or odd is proof of…pretty much nothing.
The girl with the dreads is awful
Deadass girl got stoned and made herself paranoid told a wild story about it for the attention.
Agreed. She was trying to sound smart but came off as a loon.
Agreed! You don’t need enemies when you have babysitters like that.
One of those ppl who have to get their 2 cents in and make everything more than it is....I believe Americans call ppl like her a "Karen" lolz
Well, she's the main character in her own show. Maybe she's got a problem with men in general. Alot do now days. Easier then looking into yourself.
What kills me and this is no disrespect to a victim of violent crime is the way they are suddenly a wonderful person with zero part in their demise. Nikki was obviously very jealous and overbearing. She attacked Doug for no reason and Doug’s response is the same as any of us with a jealous ass girlfriend. She got into the car drunk of a dumb ass murderer. And cops are idiots.
"I'm not trying to disrespect a victim of violent crime" proceeds to disrespect the sh!t out of her 🙄🤔 jealous and overbearing? Sometimes that's relationships, especially if they'd dealt with cheating in the past so why say that? She's dead and he didn't do it so why you're attacking her is weird
@@Leoprincess3038 no one attacked her. Read again. Do you know the meaning of disrespect? I stated an opinion and some facts. He said she would just go off for no reason. Alcohol especially plays a part in this. My point is they automatically start treating the boyfriend like the asshole and he was hyperventilating.
@@Leoprincess3038she was an insecure jealous girl for sure. I’ve dealt with them and there’s nothing worse. RIP but that relationship wasn’t going to survive either way.
@@Leoprincess3038 Though she had walked off a couple of times before. On a general level she is described as very outgoing, starting to chat with strangers by asking their name and presenting herself if they were out. But then she gets very jealous if she see the partner talking to women who and taunts him if he is talking to wh*res.... And yeah, as in the situation when he and the other guy was to leave and they encounter some girl they knew in high school and stop to chat with her, I guess it could be overbearing if the gf start to throw derogatory labels about the people (women) he talks to 44:59 because she is jealous, I'd say it is one form of abuse. She had been arrested before after someone had called about a disturbance after she exploded on him in a bar and then she was "belligerent" towards the officers who showed up.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 well said. My heart really goes out to her and her family. I hate that she was killed. But sometimes we have to take a step back to view the whole picture. She laid the path she walked that night. Her boyfriend was a victim of her and her actions. I know this sounds bad but she got herself killed and now he has to suffer the loss. She got him worst than ever with her last action. Getting in that car. I pray she is at piece and that her boyfriend finds piece as well. God bless them both.
WTH why can’t he get air he’s not under arrest I hate these cops they failed him and Nikki they are despicable!
Yea, in retrospect they tried to be cruel to Doug, didn't they? They "had it all figured out!" Gee! This guy's tears just may have been real! Creepy detective. This detective needs to take a good, hard look at himself. And the narrator also. What's with you?
I’ve never seen a guy look more innocent. I can’t believe they’d not even canvassed the area, pulled cctv etc from the night that’s just effin lazy. And unknown male dna on the body?! Cmon. They’d still need that even if he was guilty for trial ffs
That baby sitter is gross.
The situation came out right, finally. But this incompetence by those detectives makes me angry. Most detectives are better than these, I hope.
If you're ever being interviewed in regards to a missing persons case have a look at the room they put you in. If it looks like the one the sister was in with a couch and a computer in it you're good, if it's an empty room with nothing but you and two cops and one of them is blocking the door like he was in you are a suspect. Get a lawyer.
Lori Wallow sat in yoga pose in an soft armchair when interviewed about the shooting of her ex husband.
An angry man's text message can land him in jail for murder in today's world.
Well done, thank you. I feel bad for the bf- the cops zeroed in with little to no evidence. An innocent man could have gone to jail.
This dude couldn’t be more helpful! Detectives are just complete scum bags!
Not all detectives are. These ones just had tunnel vision.
What a sweeping and inaccurate generalisation 🤔
Police find a dead body "Well, we can't go knocking on doors at 2 in the morning "
Meanwhile, Police knock on my door at 3 in the morning because a car was broken into.
36:20 "I just felt like a real boyfriend, someone who really loved her, wouldn't let her walk alone at night"
Then, less than an hour later, she told someone to stop infantilizing and trying to control women 😅
Yes, Men must not know whether they're coming or going.
What in the hank hell is wrong with these detectives that they wouldn’t speak to the last person who seen here before hurting the hell outta the boyfriend these are lazy terrible detectives that might think about a different field because they are not effective at all it’s pretty scummy!
I tell you what, if I’m ever interviewed by the police, I will want assurances that my interview will not be sold and viewed for entertainment. IMO these people’s privacy is completely violated 😢
They’re basically public record. Anyone can request them from the police department.
@@Jess-vi8lsit’s still a very personal thing being put out on the internet for people’s entertainment
They can not give you that assurance. During the ongoing investigation it is classified but when they have a suspect they can bring the formal accusation to to court it is public unless you live in a so called police state where the public is not allowed to scrutinize the quality of public institutions' work.
There are some instances they can scrap it from public access but still be available for the defendants representation, news outlets and such. In a case there is typically in the beginning leads in different directions that are gradually narrowed down.
As an example with this case, suppose there was a grumpy neighbour who was on suspect map as well, if you had been interviewed about that person and he is at a later stage ruled out and they have another suspect going to trial with then your interview would likely not be public, that would be slandering the grumpy neighbour by the public authorities. But they can not promise you that will happen, if they can promise you that they will not in the future find sufficient evidence against that person then your interview is meaningless and waste of resources.
And in this case, since Doug is the partner of the victim and partners statistically are the culprit it is perhaps an advantage that it's public, even if uncomfortable, to limit speculation.

Why should you get special treatment? You're clearly here to watch the private lives of others.
Can you imagine you've just had an argument with your partner, be it Bf or Gf, and they storm off... they don't come back and everyone thinks you've done something to them! The person you love that you swore to protect is no missing and THEN the police are like "well mate we found a body that matches your gf"... I would rather die than experience that!
Detrie was let down beyond imagine, you have people who are accidently shot by the police, or wrongly convicted etc, and they get millions for compensation. I'm sorry but 1 year in prison is NOTHING compared to what Detrie went through! He and his family deserve compensation!
The babysitter and the sister are teaching us all how innocent people get charged for something they didn’t do. All it takes are a pair of drama queens like these two. Stories get convoluted and boom you’re done. Shameful for the detectives also.
Man, this was pissing me off. That babysitter seemed to have a vendetta against the bf. Thank God the forensic evidence got the right guy
The second villain in this story (after the killer) is the babysitter. What a nasty, mean spirited piece of work. The hair pretty much tells you all you need to know. Third in line are these detectives. You’d think they’d have some amount of discernment to see this guy was truly grieving. I guess some cops only care about being able to say they solved the case.
@OnlyKidWithCamera What an absolute bullshit statement. 'The hair tells you pretty much all you need to know'. That ridiculous, small minded attitude is exactly the same mentality the cops use to suspect/arrest/charge people. People cannot be judged by their appearance which in her case is not even that outlandish. She wasn't on trial here. She told things as she saw them. It's easy in hindsight to condemn people. As others on here have mentioned, where is all the anger and disgust towards the murdering, sexually assaulting animal that was guilty? No doubt you're yet another small minded 'man' who has a problem with women. Shame on you
Wow a lot happened in that babysitters 20 min. Hmm she was suspicious of Doug but in reality Nicky was already killed right outside the house she was in.
Disgusting that Doug was ever arrested
We see so many
interrogations where the guy is guilty. Interesting to see one where the guy is innocent, he’s basically like “search my house, take my clothes,
whatever you need” he does not act guilty AT ALL. So rare to see that. He’s quietly panicking and quietly devastated. I wonder what the body language experts would say. Poor dude, maybe he was a partier but that doesn’t make him a murderer.
I have a feeling the babysitter is the type of girl that claims sexual harassment for looking at her wrong
Strong femenist vibes from her
@@drdman-vp1rgYou need to educate yourself on feminism mate 🙄
Yes, she seems the type, and this type of person is very dangerous as they can and will assess someone as guilty with zero evidence. She should be avoided and made to live in the forest.
@k_j_n1242 i know the meaning of real femenism and the meaning of how it is potrayed today
She must have actually overheard the murder!
This babysitter is... id never hire her.
Those detectives were so inept and incompetent. The US interrogation system is very odd. In many instances it's a case of finding a suspect and trying anything to make the evidence fit, even when it clearly doesn't.
*In many instances it's a case of finding a suspect and trying anything to make the evidence fit* ........yeah cuz....they are trying to piece who....nvm no point trying to explain
“They are trying to piece who”
What does that mean?
So many of these interrogations are lazy as hell! They don't care if you're guilty or innocent, all they want to do is be done with it and go stare at a wall again...
Well just keep in mind that many interrogations we watch is an instance of something unique, unfair, or particularly curious. If these channels showed us only cases where everything goes 100% smooth and easy, we may not stick around. It’s not an issue or anything- the channels do great work! Just something to keep in mind before we label any entire nation of being incompetent or corrupt lol
notice it doesn't matter what race you are either, they dont discriminate who they will f*ck over
How is the key fob camera so much better than whatever they use in the interrogation rooms?!?!
My thought that it was less suspicious/obvious - they already knew she was the body found but Doug didn't and they wanted a genuine reaction that they could go back and analyze? I'm not sure I could be wrong though if they have to tell you they are recording you - I feel like that might be a thing too. Maybe? But yeah I questioned that as well and that's what I came up with.
So because in a drunken state she calls him an “abusive asshole”, it implies domestic violence?
People are so quick to point the finger, it's laughable how many people "close" to Nicky knew absolutely nothing about her & her relationships in the end & gave statements based on their own biased assumptions.
What a demon, i feel so bad for Doug and what he went through. RIP Angel.
Okay I was kind of buying this guy's story until he says that the bf recruited him to help hide her body. What a ridiculous story!
He had a decent story going, but his pea brain didn't know how to close it , how to get himself to the spot where she was found and he came up with a really stupid finish there. He may have had an opportunity to throw doubt on it all, but thankfully he came up with that absurd story.
Drunk guy panicked about where his girlfriend is. Unable to be effective and frustrated about that. Babysitters testimony didn't move me.
Wow, the sister and babysitter are horrible people.... Their entire story is basically "she said, he said, they said, she said...and it made me uncomfortable".
Poor Girl and poor bf. How AWFUL
I’m buying a fitbit
As someone who lives in green bay, this is typical when it comes to solving anything or getting help from the police here. There's been times I've called and all they ask is what I want them to do. 😐😑 like idk your job?!
I can’t stand them. They make me physically ill. And I stopped doing anything remotely shady 20 years ago.
i asked a cop from my city how does the department choose who becomes a detective
he said anyone can take a test and become a detective
he laughed when i asked if they take any university courses or any training at all
sounds like this department does the same thing
that line the detective said about oh we're not gonna bother witnesses at 2:30 am was just awful
i heard about this case and how that gadget saved the BF from going to prison
OMG she tried to fight off a six foot seven man
RIP
Watching him breakdown is breaking my heart. That kind of news does something to you I still can’t explain to people. So sorry, Detrie 💙
Misleading thumbnail. That guy never said the words "Why am I here?" ever in this entire video; not even once.
That babysitter with dreads should have been prosecuted for her wild fantasy story! What an awful lady she is !
Right? The fact she even thought wearing those nappy dreads where a good idea is ridiculous.
She locked her door. Lady, driving your car at 3 o'clock at night, you lock the door. Nothing special, so what are you insinuating.
Ya, her Q of "is her body in your trunk?" And his pfft response of No... was weird. I bet she wasnt scared and i bet because he was drunk and a little bit frustrated at this point due to not knowing where she was, he answered in an incredulous way.
She should be arrested just because of her hair. What a mess.
58:15 Omg. When he said “Poor Nicky! No!!!” through his sobs…that got me.💔🔨
More irrefutable proof that an easy conviction takes priority over justice when it comes to cops in America.
All they're interested in is securing an easy conviction of someone, anyone, whether their target is guilty or not.
My son and dil are both cops in America. They are good cops and have been in the dept for 16 years. They love their jobs and are so kind and compassionate. So don’t lump all cops together.
@@terryKessler42719Have they ever testified against other cops?
After talking to the sister, you got Doug was a deadbeat dad who left her at home to tend to the baby 😂😂😂😂#but what I got out of that is that she was a manic depressant years before she met Doug and she frequently stormed off and disappeared during her episodes, and she was also suicidal😒
An old friend of mine used to do that & all it was, was boredom. She'd get bored with her husband & deliberately get drunk & pick a fight with him, so that she could 'justifiably' disappear for a few days, during which time she'd have her fun with a few guys. She could have been murdered several times, as she was always high as a kite.
The partners reaction in the interview room when he just finds out is so different to the interrogations of suspects who turn out to be guilty!
Cold hearted a-holes!!! 1:00:10 this detective just stands there and has no problem staring him in his face, WANTING HIM TO KNOW HE THINKS HE IS ACTING, And tell him to knock if he needs something as if he is not indistress already!!! Poor guy😢😢😢😢 He legit seems like he was at the point where you want to legit throw yourself on the ground, bang your head on a wall, just anything to make the heart pain stop 😢😢😢
23:41 was that a weird response? Ummm, was that a weird question smh😳🙄 I remember this trial, this woman was very condescending and she very much tried to convince the jury SHE was afraid, SHE felt uncomfortable, SHE didn't like Doug, so it must be Doug.
You want to scream "hey drama queen, this isn't about you."
I can't even imagine what was the last thing running through her mind as she was being murdered.
Her son?
Her mom?
Her sister?
The last thing that she said to her boyfriend?
My God😞
She was the cause of her own demise so it’s only so much sympathy I can feel for her. I do feel bad for the ppl who cared for her selfish and childish self though.
@@KingKenTMfacts. No one deserves to die, but leaving ur bf to go w another man and leave w him regardless is crazy & none the less the reason shes deceased is on her & him as well.. Rip to her tho
@@KingKenTMinsecurity isn't a good look for you Ken
@@hhunstad2011 Insecurity? What are you talking about? She literally made every poor decision at every turn that night. Now her baby doesn’t have a mom and her parents don’t have their daughter. Grow tf up and stop making everything this weird man vs woman debate that yall love having online.
No. The rap!st who killed her was responsible for her demise tf are you talking about
It’s obvious unfortunately the girl was not rational and she was the aggressive one! She made bad choices led to her demise , the audacity of her sister acting like it’s other people’s job to deal with her sister’s anger problems is astonishing , about you my man , you did an excellent job, well done , completely agree with your statement
What are you talking about ? It wasn't her job either. She was an adult.
@@DannyBoy777777he never said it was
Terrible take. This wasn’t her fault. She didn’t do anything wrong. She got into an argument with her boyfriend while she was intoxicated. This same scenario probably happens thousands of times every night all over the country. What happened different here is she got unlucky and walked right into the path of an absolute monster.
💯% correct. The only thing that "lead to her demise" was meeting a murderer. Blaming her for someone murderering her instead of blaming the murderer just shows how screwed up some people are. Would that commenter see a lone woman as an opportunity to commit murder? Like that's a rational way to view things? Very bizarre view to have
@@runningriot6399she flirted with an absolute scumbag and then got in his car at 2am because she was having a jealous fit. Let’s not gloss over the facts.
The detectives were incompetent and it was made worse by the fact that Nicky's sister just seemed to want to bury Doug from the start. Terrible terrible in so many ways
To me it seemed the babysitter stirred things with the victims sister putting her own spin on the story, thank god it was'nt just her word and the keystone cops otherwise an innocent man would be jailed for life.
Doug tried to rape Nicole's sister just 9 months after this murder. He is no angel
That poor husband, Doug, came within inches of being locked up for life.
When detrie said "what do you mean similar" i knew something was up good job to his lawyer
I'm 37 minutes in waiting to see one shred of physical evidence against Doug or even one witness.
This is unbelievable they’re spending all their time trying to blame the husband instead of actually investigating what happened to her🤷🏾♂️
They called this the “Fitbit” trial in the media
Alex Murdaugh got busted by a Fitbit tracking his steps when it didn’t match up with his story that he wasn’t roaming around his property where the victims were found. He said he was in the house watching tv.
Technology!
No they dont
I always love when these defendants testify. They listen to the whole trial, look at all the evidence, and then make the 'best' story they can given the evidence.
His story is so outlandish, I can't believe he thought it would convince a jury. There's no way he thought that was believable.
This happens far too often where the detectives are focused on one suspect, usually the spouse and will do anything to prove themselves right. Though not in this case, they will even create evidence to get a conviction.
How cruel to say gruesome to a grieving poor man. Any grieving man.
It's always funny when they try to paint the victim like some kind of innocent angel. Obviously she was an abusive control freak just from those texts and the way she treated her boyfriend, and then every gossip queen that knew them wanted to put him in jail even though he had nothing to do with it. Ffs guys, it's just not worth it. Just stay single. You can easily get screwed in all kinds of ways even if you don't make a single mistake.
While watching this, all I can think about is ALL these innocent people serving time in prison because of shoddy detective work like those in this case. People, when arrested, do not speak to the police without your lawyer sat beside you. Some police are corrupt.
I keep yelling leave Doug get up and leave they are playing you!
Ask for a lawyer, even if you're innocent. That way they don't have to depend on your word, they will have to investigate and put the evidence together themselves. Talking to them only gives them ammunition against you wastes the time they're meant to search for evidence
