This Arrogant Evil Slayed Jacque Waller

- Jacque Waller thought she was finally free of Clay Waller, her deadbeat, unlikable husband. That was not to be the case. When she disappeared after meeting him, all eyes turned to Clay Waller. But no body would be found, and he would be free. Until his arrogance lead to his own downfall. Later on, when he tried to write a book, he doubled down.

Small edit! The Interstate Domestic Violence charge would run concurrent to the Second Degree Murder charge, so it wouldn't be after, he would serve both at the same time. Thanks!
Don't change your intro! We love it! It's soothing. My wife and I say "Hi Mike!" every video when you introduce yourself.
No way, that's a bit shite, he should be in there forever in my book
@@shelleenwheeldon9653 yes a lot of people should
Never ...get sick of u .. never ...❤️
You should do a video on John Edward Robinson
I don't ever get sick of your intro. Another commenter once said, hearing the intro music and your greeting is like being greeted by an old friend. And I agree, it kinda is like that - it's kinda comforting. To know that now comes a story - that is always tragic, but always delivered well, and at least almost always ends in more or less justice.
God bless
More like getting greeted by my biggest crush ever.
for me it’s like getting greeted by a long lost crush 🤣 but ofc the cases are what matter
@@RigorRabbit I’m so glad I’m not the only one crushing on Mike 🤗💯😎
This . Yes 🙌🏻
"allergic to being useful in any way" is one of the most savage lines you ever said mike, kudos!!
I love that myself
I'm using that lol
Similar to Grant Amato, Chandler Halderson, and Adam "avant-garde DJ" Matos... disgusting creatures, all of them.
The fact his own child was so angry and upset breaks me into pieces. It means that child KNOWS what he did and has to live with that for the rest of his life. Has to live with the stigma of what his father did to his own mother. Also has to live without his mother knowing full well his father will be gone too. Just ... it's so dark and sad.
Umm the last part about his ‘father’ (more like a sperm donor) being ‘gone’ would most likely be comforting to the kids. At least they, and their aunt don’t have to live in fear of him returning.
The fact that he wasn’t moved not even a little by it. Smh.
He didn’t care about those kids. That audio was pointless. You could tell he felt nothing.
@@cheeriosforhonkies8867 Exactly! Not an ounce of remorse.
hearing that little boy struggling to articulate his rage and sorrow broke my heart. no child should have to reckon with that kind of betrayal.
When splitting from someone abusive, never, never Absolutely NEVER meet them or go with them alone. Always have others, preferably multiple others, with you.
I believe she really went there for the sex or please tell me why she would go there after writing down all those threats he's made.
@@golderp because she was told her child was there when she wasn't. It was a trap. The sex story is just his narcissism.
@@shinskoala7072 Really, she couldn't find out where her child was? It's different if the child was really there and he used her as a bait but the child was not with him.
@@golderp The child was supposed to be with him. He took the child to Illinois without the mothers knowledge. A lot of people mistakenly believe that the partner won't try anything cause the kid is there. No one wants to acknowledge the person could be so heartless as to harm them in front of children. She didn't know what she didnt know till it was too late.
Nice idea, but that isn't realistic for most people, especially the ones that have children with them. You need to get a court order for stipulations regarding hand over, etc. If a partner EVER does anything to you at all... take photos, keep a record, tell somebody. This usually starts easier and gets impossible over time.
The child's victim impact statement is heartbreaking. The fact that he calls his ex-father a "big fat jerk" repeatedly just indicates the limits of his childhood brain in not yet having a vocabulary adequate to express the intensity and severity of his anger and emotional pain. Clay not only killed his mother but he also seriously injured this poor child permanently and irreversibly in terms of his entire view of life. They should put Clay away so far that they have to pump the light in.
Ugh I know... that really got to me too.
That was tough to listen to. You can hear that the poor kid is almost hyperventilating through the whole statement too.
Yes, that broke my heart. It really hammered in how tragic it is when this happens. Children should never have to suffer through something so horrific that they'd need a spicy grown-up vocabulary to express their feelings. These kids lost the only loving, caring parent they had to turn to for comfort and a safe haven. She was their rock, and their father chose to take her away from them. And they can't turn to her for comfort now that they need it more than ever. "Big, fat jerk" doesn't even begin to cover what they must feel! 💔
they should have shut his eyes permanently... stilled his breath and made him eligible for a concrete pillow.
It's utterly sickening that kids have to go through and suffer this
I can’t turn the video off until you’ve completed it by telling us you love us. It also brings a little smile to my dad because you’re such a wholesome guy. You seem to always be working, you do a great job of these videos, and I’ve no idea how you manage to insert humour into such dark themes but you do, and it’s brilliant.
I love the things you say repeatedly, it makes me feel like there is a nice constant in my life 😊
Ditto to you, Laura Blue. 💜
Same
Mike’s the best that part always warms my heart
Creep
@@DirtTrackRacing410 why...whose a creep
I pray that kid never stops using his voice. I’m glad they gave the kids a chance to express themselves. I really hope the triplets persevere thru this tragedy. Both parents GONE, lord I hope their support system is stronger than ever.
There was absolutely no reason for them to do that. It doesn't do anything for the child to be involved.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 your opinion 🤷🏽♀️ but that probably help him.
Right! It would be too traumatizing to give victim statements in court. That recording and playing in court mattered.
That poor kid. The heartache and anger come through loud and clear. I hope all the children are in therapy. To lose both parents so young is a nightmare.
That was heartbreaking. . . The fact that "big fat jerk" was the strongest curse the young boy could come up with making it doubly so.
The intro, the music, your five shirts, everything about you and your videos is so comforting and it never gets old. I hope it never changes.
“your five shirts” 💀
This is my safe place. Should anything change... I'll lose myself.
I mean, adding a new shirt is cool. But if we don't be giving it a goo, I'll seriously be sad.
Yes, when the smoke rises and falls Mike's onto another horror story by some dumb ass. This one is a real pos. I'm so sorry Jackie went to his house alone...she should have asked a male friend to accompany her. This monster was bound and determined to kill her. Ladies please buy a gun for you protection and never give anyone who's already been violent with you the benefit of doubt. So happy he'll die in prison. Love to hear he got prison justice one day soon.
I literally liked this comment and each of its replies, couldnt agree more😄
I wouldn't mind seeing the captain's hat a bit more.
"nobody hurts my kids - but me!" is such an accurate description of this guy. love the fact that you do the same format everytime, you asked at the beginning of the vid
"Clay was allergic to being useful in any way." LOL Okay, so whenever I hear a story somewhere else I ALWAYS come to That Chapter to get the full story because its ALL here, in 30ish minutes in the MOST interesting way!! Love you Mike... and don't change your intro ;)
He was obviously very dumb. He had a boat, he put the victim in the boat, and instead of putting the body into the drink, he then buried her. Absolute piece of shite, very dumb too...
Looked into Cedric Dean and where he is now- man! This guy has not only turned his life around, he helps at risk youth. He was sentenced to life plus 5 years for selling crack when he was 22. He started literacy programs in the prison and was an example inmate. After what happened with clay waller, he was let out of his jail sentence and went back into his community. He runs an organization, has presented before Congress with his US Representative, and is an all-around stand-up guy. I'm incredibly happy I actually Googled the guy. If you see this, God bless you, Cedric. Keep the straight path.
Thanks for this. That's fantastic! 💜
At least something good came out of that sordid crime event.
I hope Cedric is living a good life now.
Aww. That makes me happy. Good for him. 🥰
The fact the he got Life PLUS a few for drugs, while this D-bag got 20 years for premeditated murder of his children's mother should be the biggest eye opener in all of this! Itxs a perfect wxample of how absolutely ass backwards our system is, and how succussfully the government has burned a certain perception of drugs, their users & sellers, & those who are addicted/dependant on them. It's maddening & gross that we, as a society, let the government pull this crap & ruin people's whole lives because of friggin drugs. This is what creates the havoc we see today, even more than the drugs themselves!!! We need real reform like yesterday!
This post is 💯👍
Cedric deserve all the 🍀 in the world 🖖
Hearing his son always makes me cry ..my god. Those poor kids. I pray they receive everything they need to navigate “life after mom” with peace in their minds, happiness in their hearts, and acceptance in their souls.
They deserve so much of everything good.
So much.
His very young son saying " I never want to see you again " and calling him a " Big dumb jerk " is quite heartbreaking but very understandable. That poor kid will have PTSD all throughout his life from now on, and that too, is very unfair. I know, because I have it too. Trauma definitely damages the Human mind. That jerk took not only his child's mother away permanently, but also completely damaged his son's mind and psyche.
Please don’t change your intro. It’s something we’ve come to know and love dearly!
Mike, you are an awesome storyteller. So many creators in this genre exaggerate and/or ‘fluff’ the story- like describing how the victims felt, or what they were thinking- when, in reality, no one really knows. Please accept my sincere gratitude for your honest and compelling work.
Couldn't agree more about the fluffy storytelling on some channels! Well said!
I've thought the same thing how some creator's speak on the mindset, words & actions of victims as if we know firsthand what was said or felt. Ex; "Sara was terrified as she looked her attacker in the eye before looking for a place to hide & beg for mercy. She knew this was the end, he's finally going to do it & she told him to think of the kids" ect. None of us know what really happened but, I get it's to paint a picture & sometimes through the victim's eyes, so to speak. Still I've thought the same as you said extra "fluff".
@@millardf452 would have to disagree there. Alot of these stories can help you to survive a potential attacker. I've definitely become more aware of my surroundings in hopes of being less vulnerable. I never laugh at these victims or survivors. But I will smile that the perpetrator is off the street! It's not funny entertainment when lives are taken too soon but we cannot let their voices go silent.
@@pecoa9332 🤩
@@summertime5274 You wrote exactly what I was talking about! 100%! Once you hear someone telling a story with these unknowable ‘details’, I feel like the story is being ruined, or diluted. This isn’t fiction. Adding this ‘fluff’ actually takes away from what happened, instead of adding to it. Thanks for the perfection!
The fact that this dirtbag heard what his child had to say, and he didn't fall to his knees in tears says EVERYTHING you need to know about his guilt..also, that he would probably go after the sister and the kids next.Evil!!
No doubt about that, in my opinion he deserves the Death penalty as he just isn't affected by anything. He is not suffering.
Poor kid trying his best to put into words all of the emotions he is feeling…
Ya he lacked the vocabulary to express it but you can feel how he felt in his breathing and tone, that was sad
That little boy's anger...he doesn't even have all the words yet, but you can just feel it. Crushes a little of my soul. I hope he has all the support he needs to heal.
Mike I know you were struggling a bit, but buddy remember the whole That chapter community look forward to hear from you. Keep going strong Mikey
Hello, I really like Mike's work. What do you mean he's struggling a bit could you please fill me in. Thank you
@lanning1111 are you pulling my leg or what? With all the crimes that he documents even think he would know what to do about such a thing
My wife and I look forward to saying in sync “Hey you!” and “Let’s give it a go!” each video we watch of yours, and it never gets old. You got a good thing going and no one compares to your videos. You’re the only crime channel that adds your personality and humor which is a good balance to the often somber content covered. You’re the only channel that we look forward to watching consistently each Tuesday and Friday. Keep up the great work Mike!
That's sweet and odd all rolled into one
But that's Mike in a nut shell, sweet and odd all rolled into one
I completely agree with this. I'm listening to a murder being covered and at times, I'm laughing. Also, I would like the intro to stay, please.
“Let’s give it a GOO*” would be the correct term 😆 a simple “go” doesn’t cut it! Just like saying “three” or “third” is unacceptable. Its blasphemy!! It’s “TREE” and “TURD”.
Example: I gotta goo to the bathroom release tree turds.
😆 I’m an idiot, sorry.
@@ruthless8411 😂😂😂😂😂 I felt the same way when reading this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never get tired of listening to you Mike. You’re adorable, goofy, funny and sarcastic, all the good qualities in a man. 😂 Thank you for telling the stories and entertaining with your comments. You’re much appreciated 🥰
In life we need predictable things to calm us and unpredictable things to excite us; but in general they need to be close to equal as much as possible.....your perfect intros give us the predictable part to get our minds calm.....before we willingly get taken on a roller coaster ride by you! Keep up the great stories!
When they played the recording of his child in court that broke my heart, I hope someone loves on that poor baby
Just wanted to say that you're heavily appreciated, Mike. Especially because you are able to maintain your humanity and humour after dealing with so many dark, distressing stories. Please feel free to take some time off, you put in a ton of effort and none of us want you to burn out 💙
@@millardf452 give it a rest
@@millardf452 No, he makes fun of the murderer. Its like therapy for people with empathy. I wouldn't call it comedy.
He really doesn't need you to tell him he can take a break. lol
@@millardf452 Why you here then? lol Just to be a troll?
You're a complete stranger telling someone you don't know that it's okay with you that they take some time off! Seriously?! C'mon man 🤦🏼♂️🤣🤦🏼♂️
19:15 his little boy saying “I wish you weren’t our dad” heartbreaking. Those poor little kids 😢
Never even crossed my mind to change anything you do, even the things you’ve added through out the years are spot on you have an amazing way of telling stories. Keep it real 🤘🏽
Your intro is a comfort thing, always makes us happy to know that we are in for a good story. Never change it!
I actually appreciate the same intro every time. Always feels like catching up with an old friend. Thanks for everything you do, Mike.
Love the name ❤️
Me too. His style and humor feels like home 🏡 💙
Me too, but I really love the outro, gives me warm fuzzies.
I don't. It is repetitive. I always skip the first minute or so though, so I don't have to hear it.
This is a perfect way to describe it
What kind of monster even allows the idea, of killing their own kids, to enter their mind?! And who thinks flipping the bird at people trying to help you find your wife is appropriate behavior? If he had pretended to be normal, we may never have found out what he did. What a complete and total moron.
The child on the tape broke me. How could he not shed a single tear knowing what he's done to them?
I kept waiting for him to cry. He was a psychopath
NOPE! Never get sick of your intro 🤗 It’s your unique,fun,quirky sayings that keep these stories light. We adore ya Mike! ☮️ 😃💕
My god the recording of his son telling him what a piece of shit he is was heart breaking from the kids POV.
100%
Hearing the boy talk brought tears to my eyes..sad so sad ..I hope her kids will heal n do good in this world .
Mike, the unwavering, unchanging format your show has (and has had thus far) is a comfort to me and something I look forward to on the regular - if you were to change your current format I would continue to watch your show because you’re the best true crime page on TH-cam (imo) and I have been watching you for YEARS, so I’m not gonna stop. But to answer your question, no… I don’t ever get sick of your intros or the way you present your show. Please keep doing exactly what you’re doing, sir.
Best,
Ethan
Dude hearing the little boy call him a jerk made me start crying uncontrollably. I lost my innocence at the age of 4 and became an adult. I can tell that this man did the same too that little boy. He will never have his mother nor his innocence ever again and hearing him really broke me mike.
PLEASE DON'T change the intro. I say it with you ❤️ It's been awesome watching you progress from someone who was very stiff in the beginning of telling stories to how animated you are now. Don't change it, we love it!!
Really sad -- and speaks volumes -- that the additional charge led to a longer sentence.
And how heartbreaking listening to what that young boy had to say to his dad. I hope all of the kids are doing well these days.
Thanks for the video - never heard of this case before - and have a lovely weekend!
How does it "speak volumes"? Rather than just using a generic platitude, maybe you can explain? The guy was offered a lighter sentence to confess and show them where the body is. If they didn't offer that deal, they would've went to trial with minimal evidence and he may have gone free altogether.
The man was a cold blooded murder, he deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life. That's where murders belong, not back on the streets. The only thing sad here is that you want people like him released to he can do it again, most likely to his children or in-laws. We have prisons for a reason.
LoVe the Intro❣️ Don't change it PleaSe🙏RIP to ALL VicTimS🌹
GreaT WorK MikE!!🌷
Thanks for watching! Appreciate that
I definitely don't get sick of the same intros I rely on their familiarity and love the way you do it also I would be so very upset if I didn't hear take care of yourselves cos I love ya... at the end of your videos it's a heart warming thing to hear especially from someone you've never met and helps me believe in the goodness of humanity... thanks Mike please take care of yourself because we love you too
My son Michael passed away 8 months ago and he was handsome, quirky, and loved being in front of the camera as well as behind it. You remind me of him without the tan 😂 so Mike keep the videos coming and let's have a go shall we 😘
I'm sorry for the loss of your son.
I am so sorry for your loss, how heartbreaking. I hope you are able to find hope, love and comfort, Mike is certainly someone who always makes me smile and brightens my day, despite the macabre subject matter!
So terribly sorry for your loss. ❤️
Jesus how does a parent survive that? You are remarkable. Sending love
I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for Gods peace and blessings upon you. 💖🙏
I have so much respect for that little boy. I heard somewhere that he spoke for all three of the children because he didn't want his sisters to have to even send a voice recording to that monster.
Noones gotten tired of you Mike, your presence is the ONLY reason I watch in the first place. I look forward to your vids and your storytelling is solid, keep it up!
For the record, I can't imagine getting sick of hearing you say ANYTHING. You're quite frankly just completely adorable. Your facial expressions, the cute/funny/sometimes surprising things you say make me smile and laugh every day. Never change a thing.
Just popping in to say hello and no, we enjoy that intro. What would That Chapter be without ‘let’s give it a goo’?! It’s bound to be a good weekend when Mike kicks it off eh?
ETA: no more likes please! Let’s keep it at 666 😝. Humbled but the amount of them tho so thank you!
I know right lol
I agree change nothing you are the man!!!go Mike
I totally agree. Ya just gotta give it a go!
Love the intro as much as I love the outro. LOVE YA 😉😘
And when it's needed. The life insurance dance
I like how even the news reporters are like, "yeah this is BS apparently her husband is a lying murderer!"😂
This was a hard one to swallow. Clay just has a very punchable face. Ironic how someone like him can be so arrogant. Hearing his kids tape though broke my heart. The innocence of a child striving to find the words to tell your evil father just how evil he is.
Love your videos though. From the intro to the outro. The jokes is why I stay. Although it's a grim subject there's no reason you can't inject humor and jokes into it. I never feel it's at the expense of the victim and that's mist important. Keep doing you!
I agree fully.
The same intro is not a bad thing. We need you to tell us about "this old story" and then we can "give it a goo". You're doing great work, Mike. Keep it up.
We love everything about you and how you report. Don't ever change a thing Mike!!
Very true
On the intro:
It's like a theme song. A friendly reminder. Something we can sing along to.
How else would I know when to give it a go?
*BUT* I think all of your biggest fans will agree that the intro bits are such a insignificant part of your appeal.
You deliver the entire package. Quality content, quality production, hilarious puns, running-gags.
Whatever you do, I'm sure we'll be fans.
Like Kurt Cobain sang: "You could shit upon the stage; they'd be fans."
I mean idk about shitting but changing the intro sure lol…
Speaking of shitting on stage, this one is so true for G.G. Allin's crowd lmao
Nope I don't get tired of yr intro. In a world that changes so quickly I find comfort in the little things that are just as expected .. 😊💕
I've heard that child tearing into his dad before. It brings me to tears every time.
I’ve said this before, but it continues to be true. Mike brings us some of the saddest, most sadistic, stories, and still manages to give us a laugh, because he’s such a good story teller!
No child should ever have to go through the confusion and frustration like that kid did. That is gonna take a lot of therapy to patch up
Never Never Never change anything! That is what makes you and your channel so very special. Your unique in a very good way. I love the accent, the way your tell the story, the humor sprinkled in throughout the story. And the “Let’s give a go” is a must!
You’re an amazing person and I can tell by the comments that everyone including me love and care about you!!! Don’t ever think we would get tired of you… keep it up Brother you’re crushing it!!!
@@millardf452 Mike didn't invent murder mystery and I find it ironic that is women love it when we are the ones who are always getting murdered
I guess I get why so many commenters found the son's recording tragic, but I had the opposite reaction; I was punching the air! I'm SO glad the boy was able to see the situation for what it really was, and have the courage to express it. I've seen way too many of these spousal murder cases where the poor kids are so desperate to at least have one parent in their lives, that they totally forgive the murdering one, or even deny that they did it, despite overwhelming evidence. Or maybe they KNOW they did it, but are then too scared for their own safety to say so. That's what I call tragic.
But this boy? He's steps ahead of most little kids, maybe even most adults. At minimum he's going to be alright, at maximum he's going to be GREAT in some way.
You make a very interesting point. I think many times the children do know- but what child wants to, on a conscious level, believe that their father killed their mother? This little boy was strong, angry, and deeply hurt. By one of the two people he trusted most in his life. His clarity at such a young age will serve him well for the rest of his life. I just wish he didn’t have to live it without his mother.
Yes. Reminds me of Chad Daybells kids who murdered their mom and 2 other children of his new bride who he married one month later
I don't think these feelings towards Maddox's are mutually exclusive. That little boy lost his mother who cared for him and loved him and I'm sure he loved her too. Losing a parent at a young age is heartbreaking, having that parent stolen away by someone you're biologically inclined to trust is devastating.
As you point out, some children go in to denial and still want a relationship with the abuser or even stand up for the abuser, and while I wish they wouldn't I completely understand why it happens, it's not a conscious decision but rather the brains way of coping with trauma.
I don't think you can make the decision that he's going to at the very least alright. That trauma will have an effect on him. But the way he stood up for himself and his brain refused to make excuses for the trauma, I think he stands an amazing chance of recovering and doing incredible in life with some therapy.
So listening to the clear devastation in his voice and recognising that trauma he's facing I was heartbroken listening to him, but I was also proud of him for being so vocal and having that ability to recognise his feelings so young. So when others are saying it's heartbreaking I don't think they're saying that Maddox isn't a strong little boy, but that he deserved better.
@Audrey Muzingo - Agreed! 💪 Fantastically strong and brave little boy - with more character in his little finger than his pathetic father has in his whole body!
@@rempanda You might be right about me assuming he'll be alright. I could be projecting my own experience, in that I had a childhood most people would probably call horrible, but for whatever reason kept a pretty intact psyche. I think it is fairly remarkable when a kid is able to recognize "This is wrong, definitely wrong, and definitely not my fault. This grown up is not doing what they should."
The audio tape of his angry child made me cry.
Ur channel is my favorite crime channel. I've worked in the Healthcare industry for years and not everyone gets it but having a bit of a morbid sense of humor gets u through each day. I love how u r respectful yet u still slip a bit of humor in here and there. I go through so many emotions watching u. Anger, horror, sadness but there's always some great laughter in there. Thank you for all ur hard work
We love your consistency, Mike! We look forward to your "this ol' video" introductions and your life insurance dances! And you always sincerely tell us how much you love us at the end! What's not to like? You make every week better!
100% big ol fan
Hey You - Hi Mike - Another sad story but as usual told very well. I’m glad Clay will never see daylight ever again.
Jacque’s family was right when they said they didn’t like him. Arrogance and stupidity make a great combination.
Clay wasn’t even upset listening to his son telling him how he felt! Some people simply have no soul. Please don’t
change the intro or the outright, they are fine. Stay safe because I love ya! R.I.P. Jacque🌹
💔The little boy's recording was absolutely heartbreaking .... I hope that he hears those words EVERY single time that he tries to go to sleep for the rest of his life!! 💔
What a truly disgusting human being. I cried when I heard that recording of his son and his pain-filled voice and the fact that this POS didn't care... that's right, apparently he's the victim here.
Btw Mike I never get sick of your intros and I've been watching for the past 3 years, don't change, you always manage to make things a bit light-hearted initially before you get into the deep, dark and dirty. So many cases over divorce, it's so messed up that these fathers can't put their own feelings aside and think of the children.
Mothers, are guilty of the same.
We couldn’t even get sick of you if you tried! Nothing but love! 💕
No, I never get sick of your talent and witty humor, Mike. I love hanging out with you.
To take a mother away from three children, even by accident, would be something most people would never be able to get over. To do it on purpose, to the mother of your own children, and have zero remorse, demonstrates to me that this person is a complete waste of flesh, unworthy of even the most basic respect and dignity.
A narcissist physicopath
When she walked into the room and he was sitting As soon as she went to sit. He got up and walked away. There in itself is a red flag 🚩 . Woman in domestic violence relationship's would recognised it.
I've heard this story more than once, and that poor little boy's impact statement still hurts.
My heart is absolutely shattered, for Maddox, his brother and his sister (as well as for all of Jacque’s loved ones). 😔
The Triplets are 1 Boy Maddox
And 2 Girls Avery and Addison
There is No other Brother
Just Maddox and 2 Sisters
They were adopted by Jaque's
Sister Cheryl and her husband
Bob
The part that really stands out, is the recording of the gasping child, unleashing his shock and fury upon
dad:
"the jerk who murdered mom"
What I can never wrap my head around with these kinds of cases is you're not only killing their mother but you're making them orphans once the father goes to prison. Took the only normalcy they knew and destroyed it.
I hate to say it but, in so many ways, I always feel that the kids in situations like this are better off being with someone else than with the parent that remains. Face it, had he been found innocent, they could have suffered much more damage at his hands.
Do you really not understand? These men feel they own these woman, and if they leave the men want to hurt them, some of them honestly do kill the kids to hurt the woman. It's all about THEM
its never the same the intro. Mike, you make the darker side of humainity atn least palatable. I AM A HUGE 'THAT CHAPTER' FAN.Never miss an episode
Thanks Mike for you continuous hard work on the stories you cover. I know that I along with many others out there appreciate it
I know he doesn’t care about those kids because that kid going on his rant broke my damn heart. He showed 0 emotion for his own kid’s frustration and anger.
Listening to that poor child was heartbreaking. Also isn't there a law that anyone someone is found guilty of a crime especially murder they cannot profit off of any book deals or interviews I know it's a law somewhere because I remember hearing about that I don't know if it's in every state in the United States or just some but he's not too bright if he thought he was going to make money off of writing a book because they don't get the money he can write a book he can sell the book the book can get published but he's not going to see any of the money.
Exactly, his book was never going to profit him, he's just an all round big fat jerk just as Maddox said.
I think it’s called ‘THE SON OF SAM LAW’ where one can’t profit from their crime.
Jodi Arias is one of the wealthiest inmates in the US w/a reporter worth of between $1-5M ("FORBES"). She's able to sell her artwork on the outside through her brother and her other despicable, little followers and there's not a damn thing the prison can do about it. ("eBay" banned her).
1. Clay is a cold-hearted bastard and deserves his extended time in prison.
2. Your intros are wonderful and part of how I "get in the groove" and mentally ready for each sordid tale.
I love listening to Maddox call him the worst name he can think of, a big fat jerk, making me cry with the very nature of his innocence. Thank heaven for those who took over raising those beautiful children.
I sincerely hope the children stick together and comfort each other!
And no, we love the intro, never change it!
"Big fat jerk."
Couldn't have said it better.
The kid's recording was truly heartbreaking. Hope the children can manage to be strong not only for themselves but for their mother, and not letting the dirtbag get the satisfaction of ruining their futures. Wish them the best in life.
Agreed
I hope he’s not strong as in just sucking it up. I hope he gets good therapy and deals with it so it doesn’t affect his whole life.
It was truly heartbreaking to hear that sweet baby doing his best to articulate his feelings towards the piece of shit responsible for taking his Mommy away. However, it’s good that he did have the opportunity to tell him how he feels. I would imagine it was somewhat cathartic…I really hope they are able to lead somewhat normal lives, with therapy and lots of love.
I never tire of your story telling ability. I love it when you say " let's give go!" I've watched for 2 years, enjoying every minute of growth in your episodes. Your comments make it better.
ol clay was allergic to being useful in any way - lol!! That was perfect! Story is so sad, and again your delivery makes it so interesting. Glad to hear that that sad excuse for a human is locked away for what amounts to his natural life. I feel terrible for the triplets and pray their lives are lived in an honor to their mom (side note: don't dare change anything in your story telling - beginning to end, brings us happiness)
They have been adopted by their Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Bob, who are raising them with love and care ❤
My heart breaks for his son 😢 I pray he and his sibling grew up with loving family and got therapy to deal with the loss his father caused
Never get sick of anything! Your style and sense of humour are awesome 😊
Never, ever get sick of any of your work. I even have my husband watching now too.
100% in agreement with you 👍😊
I also love when you speak Gaeilge.
Can't believe I'm not seeing any comments about what a HERO this Cedric dude was! HEL-LO, he did what the highly-educated, highly-paid (with tax dollars) prosecutors failed to do: get Clay to show his true disgusting colors and land him a much more appropriate sentence for what he did! Now I'm just curious if Cedric really even had a book deal like he said, or if he made it up from the beginning, to extract all that information.
Another hero: Clay's own son. Boy oh boy did Clay deserve to hear all that shade in the recording. And I'm SO glad the boy was able to see the situation for what it really was, and express it. I've seen way too many of these spousal murder cases where the poor kids are so tragically desperate to at least have one parent in their lives, that they totally forgive the murdering one, or even deny that they did it, despite overwhelming evidence. But this boy? He's steps ahead of the average little kid; at minimum he's going to be alright, at maximum he's going to be GREAT in some way.
"...personally would tell me they drowned so he could see my face." When I heard that I said "my God!" out loud at the depth of sadism and evil that reflects.
He gets a kick out of hurting people. All sociopaths do.
No! We never get sick of you saying the same intro in every video or the way you sign off! We love that!
"I tried to animate him winking but I just turned his eye into an asshole" Thanks for this little Gem!!! HILARIOUS!!!👍😂 I needed that! because this is some really sad sh*t!!! The recording his son made for him in court, in itself says a LOT he didn't want to see him at all. I couldn't imagine the hurt..
Your reenactments in black n white are hilarious bro. Like the added edits you started to incorporate in your videos. Always watch you when I get home from work. Keep the content coming man!
I hope that baby was able to release some of the pain, rage and trauma through that beautiful impact statement. So sad...hope they find peace.
Did Mike just ask us if we get tired of him and his intro???
Mike, we love you and your videos. Never change. 😉✌️
NOOOO!! Mike don’t change *ANYTHING* !! Everything about your reporting and how you do it, makes you - you!! Please Please don’t change a thing!

No we absolutely do not get sick of it, my ten year old just walked in the room, as you were saying that, and was like “and my name is Mike” before you ended your sentence.
You are a pillar of our household here lol
I’m so glad he was caught (though I would’ve been shocked if he hadn’t, he was so dumb about it!) because he clearly didn’t actually care about his kids and they would’ve been next 😣
I have watched this story b4, but you exposed alot of things no one else had. As usual, Mike , you are the best. Keep it up. I love your channel💞
I never get tired of the intro and outro! They are small comforting constants in an all-too-chaotic world ^_^ yours is my favorite crime channel your videos are always so well researched and narrated. And we love you too!
I will never be able to understand the mindset of, 'I love my children so much that I am going to murder my significant other, so they can never get custody' In turn hurting and traumatizing the children even more and leaving them with no parent. Of course they believe they are so intelligent they will get away with it, but wow just shows how disconnected they are.
I know this isn't what Clay's mindset was, but it has that same sort of feeling....
as always all I can think of is the poor children.
RIP Jacque ❤
It's like the people who murder their spouse instead of divorce because they don't want to "offend" God
There's been quite a few of these wife killers and their TV interviews, and they have a few different styles of trying to look innocent. The "mumble and hope the reporter translates innocence" is a tried and true method
We never get sick of you, Mike. You are hilarious. It can't be easy covering such matters and still being funny while respecting the people involved - except the toe rags who killed them of course.
