You can’t really love your kids and be a great father, (or even a decent father) while simultaneously abusing their mother. John may have never laid a hand on his children in anger, but he was absolutely abusing them. Witnessing that abuse is abuse in itself
I'm sure he loved his children and wife to a degree, but it is clear he loved himself more.
So true!
@@jamesbarnhill9953abuse is not love.
@@jamesbarnhill9953abuse is not love lol.
You are right
From all these stories one universal rule emerges: don't shack up with someone based solely on how 'attractive' they seem.
You've got that right! 👍🏾 Don't just look at the cover, read the whole book! 💯 I learned this the hard way.
I just started listening, and as soon as I heard a cabin and no plumbing, I'm going with an inculpatory factor straight out of the gate.
When you are going to break up with a possessive man you cant tell him and you have to leave town.
I was hoping she was going to take him to dinner, excuse herself to go to the ladies' room and get the heck out of there to someplace with safe protection from him like staying with her father or brothers (not sure if she had strong males in her family nevertheless that's what I was hoping). Sad for this poor lady and her family.
It is supposedly one of the most dangerous times for a woman. I know how much some women might want to tell a man that it's over and she's done with him, but it is so much safer to stay quiet until after dipping. Just not being in front of him could provide enough time for him to not act out of rage or to be prevented from reaching the woman. Even men who seem mild mannered have been known to flip when they find out she is leaving.
I'm amazed how so many seemingly successful women can't put together the idea that u can tell ur jerk obviously controlling partner u're leaving in a restaurant, without having a plan for the rest of the night,week,month etc..
Nah bruhh you don't.
@@aidasalazar5924that's why you never equate someone being smart to also have common sense
There really are some despicable people in the world
When you're looking for excitement & good looks, you sometimes end up with a terrible partner. Another great breakdown & analysis. Thanks Dr G😊💌💌
What do you mean by high maintenance?
How about just sometimes you end up with a terrible partner. Sheesh.
@@joeybagodonuts6683 Did anyone ask you? I am referring to narcissists who by the way love to argue over nothing. Just saying.
@@joeybagodonuts6683I personally didn't see anything wrong with what you added. 🤷♀️
@@zenawarrior7442well no asked you either and yet here you were spewing nonsense. You believe you're the only allowed to voice an opinion yet you're accusing other people of being narcissists? Okay.
This is one of those cases once you hear about it, you don’t forget about it. Thank you for covering this Dr. Grande, keep up the great work and have a great weekend!
The police believed Joanne was a victim of a crime, but it took 2 years for a hiker to find her remains a mile away from where her car was abandoned. Why didn't the police have search the area around her car? If Joanne's body had been found in reasonable amount of time, you'd think that would have helped the state charge John with her murder. It's like they knew she was a murder victim but did almost no work to solve her case.
You’ve obviously never been in dense forested areas. It’s extremely difficult to navigate, let alone find a body.
The chance that there was not much work on her case is very slim.
❤️😘
some depts are lazily run. some dont have enough funding via taxpayers. some are overworked. ETC.
on another note...yeah, a mile away does seem like a "short distance" from her car, but think of it as a mile in all directions from her car. thats still a decent amount of terrain to cover.
@@canileaveitblank1476we are talking about 1 mile, did they even search? It wouldn't take much to find her, like bring in some cadaver dogs and a search party
If they knew that he was an ex cop then they wouldn’t have put much effort into the investigation. Got to protect the badge at any and all costs.
I imagine the Arizona desert/wilderness to be something like the Australian desert, dense forest and outback. We have many people go missing that are never found. One of Ivan Milat's victim's skulls was found years later by a hunter in an area previously scoured by police. It was about 100 meters from the edge of their search area. It does happen.
I live in the woods of Alaska. 25 years more or less. It's not hard to upgrade from a dirt floor. Seriously.
We get some weird people up here. Most of them leave or get run out before they implode into madness, but one I have personal experience with is the Hale family. AKA, the Pilgrims. An absolute insestuous, abusive plage on the land of a family. Worth looking into if you like those kind of stories.
So... the little people are a thing up here, not everyone can see them, and they move very very fast, and they're often blue. I've seen some really weird stuff, but definitely not that, so who knows.
I heard Alaska has gotten super crowded.I hope it's not true😢
@kimmccabe1422 I wouldn't say crowded, but ya, we're running out of housing, and decent used trucks. Definitely about to be too many people here I would say. The real problem though is the kind of people moving up here these days. When people come to escape some lower 48 problem, they just bring that problem with them and try to force it on people who don't want it and don't care...
I'm guessing within 5 years most of them will be headed south again. We've seen this kinda thing before.
Interesting
I learned about the Hale family on the Sommer Sanchez youtube channel. Your description is apt!
@@NatureNymph46 I was there. I would say more about it but not here
“John lived in Alaska “ Oh, that sounds bad. “
“he moved “. Thank goodness!
“ to Florida.” Auuuuiggh!
Yep, they always come here!
😂😂😂
Accurate.
Right! Lmao
@@RMcCoy-fb4rsnow people from Cali and you all wanna go to Montana and ruin it too
Lots of people running away from the Lower 48 to hide out in Alaska.
I've been following Dr Grande for several years now. And I have NEVER once been disappointed in the content he creates. 👍
I joined when he was at 3k followers
Sam here, with one partial exception - his analysis of Russell Brand. Given his body of work, that's nothing and moreover it's only my opinion.
His Anne Heche video. Lots of comic references to her bad acting. It was uploaded after the crash but before she died and was taken down as soon as she died.
I thought it was in poor taste making fun of a woman in critical condition.
Then I hope you realize that he is not a psychologist or a psychiatrist and has no credentials that would allow him to diagnose anyone or prescribe medications. He's a counselor and an extremely biased one at that.
The only vids I hate from him are the ones about the royal family and prince Harry and his wife 🙄
The saddest part...the kids. Thanks Doc, appreciate your videos so much.
"During his magical journey''...you crack me up~ another great video. Thanks
not him trying to pull a Mrs. Doubtfire!
Doctor,your gift for real wit and genuine humor that u use during this type of story is the BEST! Thank u Dr G.
do you think you can help me lose a few pounds? john: WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? I'M THE BEST! DO YOU THINK? WHAT THE HELL IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT? waitress: are you guys ready to order?
Lol
the living in a cabin thing is a big red flag for me. seems like he wanted an isolated place to carry out his abuse
Well when you're living in a single cabin up here people don't think twice there's a lot of people I know that live in places like these
So people that live in cabins abuse more than people that live in the city or other more populated areas?
What? 😂
What? So somebody that is trying to live another life pattern than you makes you frigten? Pathetic.
I mean, it just sounds like he wanted an isolated place to hide out with his kids he had kidnapped.
Hello from me here in New Zealand (rainy Sunday morning). Dr Grande I am enjoying your videos - plenty of back catalogue ones if my other content providers are going slow 🙂John sure packed a lot of interests, skills and women into his life! He was probably very "bright" and this combined with the police skills made him a very dangerous man.
Gosh these monsters are everywhere😢. So sad for all his victims.
He sure couldn't keep his mask of sanity on for long, could he? I wonder what his early life was like?
Maybe the police force where he was once employed. Really ought to review ALL the cases that he "handled"..
There could be very easly a number of innocent people in prison because of him...
Wow 😳 good point 🙃.
Yea, ...and how about some unsolved murders around the area where he worked as a cop.
Dr Grande - can you do a video about Maurnice DeClue - who somehow is both an honors student who plays the violin and speaks 4 languages but also is an attempted murderer after repeatedly smashing a young girls head into a concrete pavement putting her into a coma with a fractured skull. I’m keen to hear how such contradictions exist in one psyche.
Not all cops are psychopaths but many psychopaths become cops!
Yup
Guess it takes one to know one? 🤷🏽♀️
Power and control.
Same as any "high power" job. Doctors and lawyers included.
❤ all cops are sociopaths by inclination and training. Power and sovereign citizen rules makes them psychopaths.
D a a n n g g ……. NO ONE gives analysis like Dr Grande - slayed this one especially the final lines at the end.
He died before being held accountable
He will be held accountable in God's judgement day.
@@JesusistheonetrueGod For sure .. 😮 id rather pay here on earth 😬. I like ur name ❤️ GOD bless u in Jesus name! 🙏🏻
@@charliechurch5004 Indeed, and those of us who believe have had our sins paid for over 2000 years ago. May God be with you as well ❤🙏🏽
Magical thinking. It's ironic seeing this on a site devoted to scientific analysis.
@@JesusistheonetrueGod thank u friend ❤️ 🥰
Dr. Grande must do a lot of research work to find these cases.
Interesting, bizarre crimes .
So described in such detail.
With his sublime , dry humor.
Makes it interesting. 😮
Deception Detective is a great channel Dr Grande viewers would enjoy
rather than being the kind of person who should have born a hundred yrs ago john is one of many who should never have been born at all but hope someone hasn't already made that joke⚛😀
Hi Dr Grande, two thumbs up
Clever closing thought.
Well, Joanne got the more exciting life she yearned for, having left her husband because he worked too much, for a dashing psychopath that murdered people. Happens.
Victim blaming is despicable
@@safesoundequine8511 I didn't see any blame assigned, just statement of fact.
lol
bingo
I’ve known other guys that their wives left them for working to much 😳. That freaks me out. I can see leaving them because they won’t work but not working to much.
What a mess of a life with the exception of his choice of Mothers for his children. Thank goodness that the Mother's of his children escaped with the children.
It’s always hunters that stumble upon the bodies.
Hikers
Poor hunters!! Hikers, too.
@@pineywoodslawandcrimeyes! Another reason I don’t are to go hiking in the woods. Treadmills at the air conditioned gym are usually free of ded bodies!
This man was surrounded by alot of divorces.
@@sondragramse1770 surrounded is right.narcissists can't take accountability.Divorces just happened all around him
It all started pooping on a dirt floor in Alaska!
His magical journey lol_ you have a way with words
She says "can you help me shed a few pounds" i cant think of a better reply than his own and will forthwith use myself.
Thanks dr Grande ❤
Kinda creepy how many sociopaths go into law enforcement
Yo dr grande love your content thanks man! You deserve The world bro!
Joanne left a decent, stable, faithful guy because she wanted more "excitement."
Unfortunately, she got it.
Good morning from Sydney Australia!
Good afternoon from US southwest.
Good evening from the UK!
Hello, friends from around the globe!
A fellow Australian from WA! Hi!
Greetings from China..!
I wonder if there was background drug use. Maybe steroids for health improvement. I've read that they can affect emotions and ability to control them.
not so much thats a myth
I very much admire Dr. Grande's analyses. Sometimes I wonder if his focus on Personality traits seems to overlook the fact that his subjects are Psychotic.
Darling DTG - you helped me today without trying 🤣 I was doing a race that I knew was going to hurt and to calm my nerves I kept imagining you saying “ todays question is ………. why is Alison so nervous “ and it really helped . My race did not go well but that’s racing . Just wanted you to know that your calming voice is helpful in lots of different ways xxxxxx
Kind of hard to visit your children in Alaska regularly when you move to Florida. What was the point in that?
As a single dad for two teenage girls, it seems to me that John was mentally disturbed and should not have procreated so prolifically. It feels that John's recklessness negatively impacted the people around him. His body odor was famous.
Not always, but sometimes being divorced and losing custody derails people. So sad and so scary.
"Magical journey!" 🤣😆🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Why in the hell did she go back to the guy if he was that insane the first time they were together? Holy.
Almost sounds like he was hitting the steroids
As well as his wife?
Yes it does sound like roid rage
it could be alcohol rage, steroids are used daily in thousands of different applications
Clearly a case of "Cabin Fever."
Shame she didn't leave John when he started "watching her constantly" following her to the bathroom to "monitor her progress"
I would've snapped after not being able to poop for five days. 😂
Just joking, of course. What happened to her was terrible. I had an ex that I only lived with for three months before breaking up. He became really weird after moving in with me. He'd occasionally start scratching at the bathroom door from the outside and trying out the handle like a lost puppy when I was in there. Very unnerving.
Hallo dear Sir Dr Grande, Could please you do a video about Silvia Marie Likens?
Hope you are doing well.
Have a good day and thanks for your work.
Can you do an update on the prosecution of Lacey Flerchers parents ? The poor girl finally got justice ❤ Rip Lacey 🦋
I feel it's strange that this man paid more attention to details into crime investigations, and impressed other officers as well. May be he's 'recording' how natural/nature influences/holds power over the outcome, therefore 'belittling' the human's talent (other officers) in taking credit. Also, turning into the 'incredible hulk' in the restaurant proved his rage at 'modern inventions' was literally killing his personality.
Anyone else fist pump when Dr. Grande says “do I think xyz is guilty? In my opinion YES”
No I just sit calmly in front of my army of novelty cacti and say 'I agree, Dr. Grande'.
way to get into it ; )!!
Speculation ejaculation is a common syndrome among Dr. Grande's fans, particularly those with high openness to deadpan gags.
@@Ratzfourtyfournovelty cacti lol
Joanne couldnt even use the bathroom without john being there to monitor her progress!!! 😂😂😂
I can't imagine that happening more than once! Joann must have been quite a vulnerable to person to have put up with that. And telling her she could't wear clothes?! I would have been out of there in less than one minute.
I can't imagine how anyone can see humor in that.
@@vickiesims1600 You know that for a fact? You've been through her exact situation before?
@@RiahSafiyan there's no humor in the situation, only dr. Grande's description of it.
@@RiahSafiyan Of course I haven't. I didn't say that I had or that I knew that for a fact. The whole video was speculating about the situation and I was adding my own attempt to understand the dynamic in the relationship.
When I say, 'must have been' it's a way of speculating about a situation, not stating a fact. What I was saying was: 'In my opinion, if someone allows themselves to be told when they can and can't wear clothes and to be watched all the time even when going to the bathroom, it would indicate a sense of powerlessness.' Often powerlessness is associated with vulnerability. I am not sure what you are really challenging about what I said. I was mostly saying that I wouldn't want to put up with that sort of controlling behaviour.
Why is it so difficult to believe that governments and powerful corporations would collude together to do something criminal.
This case is quite disturbing and reminds one why Alaska is a harsh place in most regards
Nothing harsher than anything in most of Russia 😶
Kodakbears are way bigger@@ArtU4All
@@ArtU4All, but we don’t live at Russia, do we?
I would love to go on a magical journey-but a legal one!😂😊
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone?
This one man certainly caused a great deal of pain and problems. I wonder who raised the kids and if they are ok. Very interesting case; I had never heard of this man before.
Thankyou for this video,I hope you do one on Brian Coheen that kid is so scary and I want to know your thoughts on him
Your back~drop~set is *Amazingly* *Beautiful* … I will have to watch again 😉🤙🌵💚💜💙✨💫
I'm not diagnosing anyone in this comment, but John Addis suffered from we in the psychology field would classify as "Weak Porn Stash Syndrome". It's symptoms include, trying to grow an amazing 80s porn mustache, but having it turn out weak like a 90s stock broker. It can really take a hit to ones self esteem, and having a less than adequate "thigh tickler" can really make a man do some crazy things. Again. I'm not diagnosing, but if he sported a Harry Reems love brush, I think he would have been OK
Thank you
hey doc...can you do a video on Dr Frederick lenz also know as the cult leader Rama who died by od/drowning in Conscience Bay on Long Island, NY? i find him endlessly fascinating....
I was kicked out of Lenz’s cult after attending a dinner with him and other cult members
@g.anthonybenjamin281 my friend I would love and very much appreciate it if you would/could tell me anything more...I am from Nassau County Long Island and old enough to (if I only knew of him back then)
have attended his lectures or dinners or whatever else...I have heard both good and bad regarding rama but I can't explain why I find him endlessly fascinating....
@@WolfsHead-bp6vsit’s a bit worrisome you find a cult leader so interesting … I hope you don’t mean in a “Im buyin what he’s sellin” kinda way!
Always interesting
Thank you❤
Dr Grande - Here is an interesting case you might want to cover. It’s about David Russell Miller. He was a bigamist and killer. I learned about him from the book “Deadly Pretender” by Karen Kingsbury
Are you going to talk about your thoughts about Quiet On Set? And Drake Bell and Brian Peck?
Would love for you to cover the recent case of Riley Strain.
That happened here in my hometown. Sadly seems he was drunk, alone, wandered to riverfront and fell in. Sad, and a tragedy, but makes sense. It’s really sad his “friends” let him get booted out of the bar and didn’t go with him. If they knew, that’s messed up. Never leave drunk friends alone. As annoying as they may be.
There really isn't much more to say about that case.
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your TRUE fans love your humor and sarcasm. March 23 is Near Miss Day again, National Chips and Dip Day again (gotta have some MORE La Cocina Fiesta Flavor tortilla chips and MORE Western Family dill pickle chip dip later!), National Tamale Day, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death Day, National Chia Pet Day, National Puppy Day, National Melba Toast Day, Ravenclaw Pride Day, Cuddly Kitten Day, and World Meteorological Day.
Cuddly kitten 🐱
It seems as if once he got a taste of criminality he just couldn't stop. Plus are there many dogs out and about in Sitka to warrant a dog catcher?
_" ...his Magical Journey"_
😂😂😂
I would say after the second marriage it's you not the other person
After multiple divorces, the common denominator is you .
That body they found probably wasn't his. Killed a dude that looked like him and left his ID on him.
ok john
John’s “bizarre beliefs about aliens” match the first 4 seasons of X Files. Maybe his screenplay made it to a desk drawer…
Personal trainer is a code word for stalker
Agree - only a weirdo would be a professional trainer for amatuer athletes.
Women need to be especially cautious for the “personal trainer “ type stalker
Bullshite, I've been a PT on and off for over 40 yrs. Never once dated a female I trained.
@@mikewheeler3994 Gay?
"Female": a term used by law enforcement and biologists referring to animals.
Joann divorced her hard working husband for no good reason, took his money, the went and found herself a crazy Chad who murdered her. Not a genius move.
It’s a little disturbing how many comments are focused on criticizing Joanne for getting herself killed, rather than, you know, blaming the guy who murdered her.
Thats a wild title 😂
Joanne should have stayed with Borat.
Agreed 🤣😂 her desire for adventure was a disaster 😥😭
LOL lots of people believe that aliens came to earth, founded society and still live among us. They are called the Anunnaki and are credited with founding the Sumarian, Asyrian and Babylonian societys. I've never heard they were evil though. This is often taught in college courses 😊
A bit of free advice: good looking person = red flag, charming = 2 red flags.
Both = head for the hills!!!
im never going to get married then
Dr Grande im surprised youve yet to make a video on the disappearance of Trenny Gibson. I wonder what theories you have on her
I wonder if Addis was abusing steroids. I read that he was a fitness freak when he was in high school. In many gyms it is not hard to find steroids, even back in the 90s.
Monitor her progress 😮😂😂😂
Joanne wanted excitement? Unfortunately she got it. Smh.
I wonder how his children feel.
Relieved.
Was Joanne a hand-model?
I think John's conscience finally caught up with him. The deaths of his last wife and her two kids in Mexico were the last straw. He finally saw what he was and ended his own life.
Fun Fact: 97% of Alaska residents are running from the law or soon plan to be, and the other 3% ARE the law. The statistics are almost identical for Florida.
i cant get over how these people can kill so easily
Very interesting!! The message didn't send!! I'm sorry!!
Once again the police didnt bother to search at all for a missing woman not even near her car.
Joanne was looking for excitement and left a good man
Then paid the price for it
Joann wanted an adventure she got it 😂
The threat of violence is still violence.
Good point.
lol so scary I guess dont go outside
@@ChauncyFatsack that doesn’t work if you live with a nutty relative.
He looks very like the serial killer Russell Williams in a couple of the photos
