    David killed everyone, left to do his paper route, Robin came inside and discovered the entire family murdered, he tracked blood through the house and got blood on his clothes (not a lot, and I know he wasn’t wearing socks according to police but he could have taken them off once he realized he was tracking blood, he was probably horrified) then confronted David (when he realized david was home) and David shot him. David probably found out a lot about his family, he was probably disgusted by the relationship between his sister and father and that could have been motivation. Everyone else was either collateral damage or he viewed them as enablers. He has a big enough ego (based on testimony) to think he was above the rest of his family. Which is why he left the “suicide” note saying he deserved to live. He believes he really does.

      Well if you think about it, if they all had a gut feeling what was going on, the mother said the father was most evil and daughter second right? And possibly the children who knew but still sided with their father were considered somewhat evil. Remember she did take the whole family to see a psychologist early on... and maybe David was "least evil" because he didn't side with his father or think it was ok. Obviously i still think she was mentally ill.. and probably David knew that too.

    I’m sorry but I still think David did it. The main things for me are:
    1. Robin having no gun powder on his hands,
    2. there being no fingerprints on the gun (if Robin did it his fingerprints should have been on it)
    3. if Robin wanted to kill his family why leave one alive? (Yes, you could argue he wanted to set his son up for it but it just doesn’t sit right with me)
    4. Why would he shoot himself with his non-dominant hand???
    5. I just think it would be very very hard to shoot yourself the way the defence are saying. Again, there would have been his fingerprints all over the gun from him handling it in a way that he could shoot himself
    There are even more points imo that at least prove that Robin didn’t do it. Of course you could also argue for another killer other than David but that is highly unlikely I think. 🤷🏼‍♀️
    And the allegations about Robin unfortunately cannot be proven or disproven so I’m not defending Robin in the sense that he was a good person, I don’t know if he was or wasn’t. I just think he wasn’t the killer

      Yeah the no finger prints on the gun and the size of the rifle makes it’s super hard to believe it was a suicide.

      If Robin killed the family- he 100% framed David for the murder. Used his gun, left the glove etc. That would mean he wanted to see David go to prison for it, and hopefully, Robin would go free as it would have to be premeditated to frame someone else.
      If David came out and said he shot Robin because he came home and discovered that he had killed everyone, given all of the evidence Robin would have plotted against him, there’s a VERY good chance prosecution would call BS and say “David killed everyone but is just saying he killed Robin to lessen his sentence and gain sympathy.” And the jury could very likely buy that. Admitting to that could totally backfire on him. If I were him, in that situation, I would not say a word. Given all of the other things which were bungled in the investigation and the lazer focus the police had on making David the killer, the odds are admitting to killing one would mean that the jury would see him as someone capable of killing, and capable of killing everyone.

    I find it interesting how no one suspects *Margaret* to be involved in the murders or at least motivating David to execute it. After all, she did call Robin the devil, tried to do exorcism on him and get him out of the house. Murdering seems like a way to get rid of him forever. I could imagine that she thought the other kids' souls were lost to the devil too or whatever since they were on Robin's side and so in her delusion she felt like she had to get rid of them also. Everyone except David. She favored David, they were a team, which means in her eyes he could've been the only who deserves to live. Perhaps it was her who wrote the message on the computer before lying down in bed and asking David to kill her too but make it look like it was Robin. All I'm saying is that she sketchy af and I don't think the police looked closely enough into this case for me to fully trust them.

    I’m surprised no one has suggested it could have been the mother. That was my first instinct with the note left behind. “You’re the only one that deserves to stay.” David was her favorite. She clearly had mental health problems, what with believing all of her family members had demons inside of them. Maybe she found out about her husband and her daughter’s relationship and lost it.

    this really is a bizarre case. finding out about the incest was jarring to learn and offered a whole new perspective. the diaries and glasses being lost in the fire is extremely unfortunate. I find that ridiculous, that they torched the house. the kids writing about family serial killings IS VERRRYYY COMPELLING. no one talked to any of his students about where this story came from? why was a psychologist making assumptions about the context instead of just asking the kids individually??? well at the end of the day i'm very confused and I don't know who I believe is guilty. I like the theory that dad shot family and david shot dad upon realizing. but why wouldn't he confess that honestly?

      I agree, I didn’t think of it until you mentioned. How robin killed the family and then David came home and realized what had happened then killed his dad.
      The fact that Robin sexually abused his daughter all those years,makes me believe that could very well been responsible for the death of his family.
      Also side note,
      The mother could’ve been aware of the situation of the incest that’s why she banned robin and called him the devil and did not like her daughter.
      And I just can’t see David killing he had nothing to gain or loose.
      Robin he did. His whole career and reputation was on the line about his daughter making their relationship public.

    Sometimes people try to rationalize too much, by saying his motivation was financial and that it wasn't a strong motive. Their whole family was fucked in the head in various ways, I feel like 4 out of 6 of the family members had "good motive" or mental state to do something like this. Examining Robin's mental state or proving that he technically COULD have done this isn't evidence. Of course he was depressed, look at how his wife treated him and just the general sorry state of his life. Doesn't mean he was pushed to murder. More often than not the obvious answer is the right one, because yeah why WOULD you go around carrying out your plan on a full bladder or shoot yourself at an awkward angle. The only explanation is to frame David, but that doesn't seem likely because people who are out for some kind of revenge like to witness that revenge. What satisfaction is Robin getting by killing himself with just the assumption that David will be blamed? Why not simply shoot him? If it's a murder-suicide anyway why not just torture him for your revenge? The physical evidence all points to David. The only part in question is the footprints, which might have been able to be explained with a reexamination but with the evidence destroyed he just got off on a technicality like every murderer. I will say, I'm curious about the computer. If all the timestamps are true, it's perfectly reasonable that Robin turned on the computer before David got home, but was he particularly known to hop on the computer first thing in the morning? Is it or is it not out of the ordinary? Especially in the mid-90s when people were mostly using it for correspondence and still got their news via paper.
    Also, if his motivation was to hide the truth about Laniet, what purpose does that serve if you're killing yourself? Why kill everyone? Why *not* kill David? Did David *not* know? Did Laniet actually get to tell anyone at all? If not, how did Robin even know she was going to? Calling this his motivation seems just as flimsy. And I can't get over that "suicide" note. It's so fucking egotistical for David to write about himself, and makes zero sense for Robin to write. If anyone should be spared it should have been Stephen, right? The youngest? Probably innocent? Didn't get involved in the family squabbles? Or Arawa, who also kept to herself? Why did those two need to die? Margaret being a fruitcake with David being her little pet, on top of how he would keep tabs on his siblings and how Laniet said she was afraid of him - no doubt in my mind David did it.

      This whole family was so messed up and the children didn't know any different, of course they're incredibly messed up.

But all the other evidence makes David appear guilty, even though his motive seems weak especially as to his mother. He may have partially gotten away with mass murder of his own family, since he did serve some time.

She got killed. Wh, would she be afraid if it wasn't real, you know what I mean? To me it's super clear David did it. Kust proving that Robin was a huge creep doesn't really convince me.

    I’ve always felt like it was 100% David, but I think his family was super dysfunctional, and that he probably wasn’t in his right mind at the time. But then I’ve also thought it could’ve been the mum and David was trying to set Robin up to protect the mum he loved so much….honestly I don’t really know, but I think it’s unquestionable that David’s trial was based purely on circumstantial evidence and that his original trial wasn’t fair. Would love to see you do more NZ cases Bella - especially Scott Guy and Sophie Elliott ❤

    I think David's motive was his resentment towards his dysfunctional family, even more so if his sister admitted what she did the night before. He couldn't control them so he had to take them all out.

  • @ninaalexandrazelenak2005
    @ninaalexandrazelenak2005 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    I think that David was the murderer, but that he hasn’t planned out the murders until the night before they happened which explains why he did such a poor job of covering up his mistakes. There could have been an intense argument during the “meeting” the night before that pushed him to commit the murders. Maybe it had come out that Robin was abusing Liniette and that prompted David into anger and more contention with his father so he decided to kill him and then greedily thought he should murder the rest of the family as well to get their money. Overall, I feel like the circumstances and evidence make a lot more sense for it to have been David, but Robin was also a disgusting creep who was still a horrible person even if he wasn’t a murderer.

    • @mandarinadreux9572
      @mandarinadreux9572 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I’m not sure if anyone’s thought about this but I had the idea that maybe Robin planned to kill his whole family and started killing them all forgetting that David had left for his paper run (or just planning to kill him once he returned) and then David came home and his dad tried to kill him so they had a struggle and David ended up killing his father. Then I guess David could have realised Robin had killed everyone and realised it looked bad on him with everyone being dead so he decided to stage it to look like a murder suicide. That could explain Robins bloody foot prints and the weird suicide note- this is a crazy case though I’m very torn but I don’t think David is completely innocent.

  • @ironwillies
    @ironwillies 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    it baffles and disgusts me that david got away with these murders. the major confusion is due to the motive, robin having a strong motive and david’s being mostly unknown.
    a lot of the evidence has to be stretched to pin it on robin. why would he shoot himself in such an impossibly awkward position, especially when it would have been easier to remove the silencer? why would he collect the morning newspaper? why wouldn’t he empty his bladder? why would he wait a minute for the computer to boot up instead of just writing the note by hand? why would he take his time doing all this when he knew david was expected home? why was there such a lack of his dna?
    we’re supposed to believe they found david’s bloodied gloves in stephen’s room but the broken glasses lens was just a coincidence? and the injuries he doesn’t recall getting were obviously not because of the struggle? his clothes happened to be stained in blood because… robin wanted to set him up instead of killing him like everyone else? or he was being a good father by washing the blood off his clothes? and, again, david just conveniently forgets everything and was just wandering around a murder scene like a lost puppy?
    david called the family meeting to lure his family home. the murder weapon belonged to him. he burnt down the crime scene. his sisters feared him. he had made previous statements that he would use his paper run as an alibi to commit other crimes. he made sure he was noticed on his paper route. far too many coincidences to believe he is innocent.

    This case is a tough one because there’s no real answers to anything and I wish there was… my personal opinion - David did it. It’s just so odd to me that Robin would let him be the only one to live when they didn’t even get along. Also, if Robin did it, why weren’t his fingerprints on the gun, especially if he was going to k1ll himself in the end anyways? I think there are a few possible motives for David. It could’ve been a sort of power trip/ego boost motive because he always felt in competition in that aspect with Robin, and maybe he wanted to show his family that he was the “big man” by gaining control over their lives. It could’ve been a mental breakdown, or even a financial motive like the prosecution originally suggested. Of course it’s unclear what really went down, but I think David makes the most sense.

    David could still be guilty if the allegations against his father were true. He could have killed his father for doing that to his sister, blamed his mother for not protecting his sister (maybe even believed she knew and protected his father), blamed his sister for "tempting" his father or having an "affair with him as she supposedly worded it (I am an CSA survivor so I am in no way saying it was her fault!). Like, he could totally still be guilty if this was about the allegations because no one knows what his mindset on that would have been.

    I think robin might have written the ‘you’re the only one who deserves to stay’ sarcastically. He didn’t ACTUALLY think david deserved to stay, but maybe he did think david deserved to be put away for this crime. Not only was robin outcasted (except for the daughter he was abusing and who was about to out that to the world) which would give him a motive, it would also explain why robin let david live; to get the ultimate revenge by having him be put away for the murders. Even if it doesn’t make sense for how he shot himself, it was shown that it WAS possible, maybe robin really took the preparations into getting david convinced serious and looked into all those ‘small’ details

    Did Robin have a cellphone on him? Was there a landline in the living room? I think the bloody footprints were Robins, but not because he murdered them. He probably came inside and found his family murdered and tracked the blood throughout the house while he was checking if any family was left. By the time he got to David’s room (the socks were found there right?) he probably noticed he had his family’s blood on his feet and took them off in disgust. Then went into the living room to call emergency services from a phone in there when David came home and killed him before he could do that. Because it doesn’t make sense he could kill 5 people and not have any gun powder on him, and not leave his finger prints on the gun.

  • @jasontillett

    I do think David killed his family... from the evidence presented it just seems highly unlikely that Robin would've been able to do this. Also, if the computer HAD been turned on at 06H44, Robin must have shot himself exactly at the time or just after David got back home, which doesn't make much sense to me. However, I don't think there is enough evidence to prove reasonable doubt and therefore I agree with the courts ruling, even though I do think David did it.

    For the note-he could have meant he was the only one who deserved to suffer the fallout.

    If the father is responsible & wrote that note, he could be one of those family annihilators that believes he's taking his family to heaven, saying David "is the only one who deserves to stay" could mean that he's the only one that doesn't deserve to go to heaven - & that malice could be consistent with him trying to frame his son.

    I think if it was his dad, it was more in revenge to keep him alive. So he had to live with his whole family dead. Like "you deserve to live with this"

    I think David killed his family. I slowed down the recording and it sounded like he said "I shot the..." The injuries to his face, hands and chest alone speaks volumes to me. He got away with killing his family and then he was compensated for it. It is a shame that Robin isn't here to defend himself...anyone can say anything about someone after they are dead...they can't refute it. This is very sad and heartbreaking.
