In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Micaela Costanzo and analyzing it from an educational legal and psychological perspective.
I assumed they needed probable cause to get a warrant for the footage since I know theres stricter rules/protections for school seecurity cameras in some states
Oh stop! You gonna tell me this cute angular white boy is the guilty party and this slow-sounding Mexican is innocent! If Donald Trump has taught me ONE thing, it's who to KNOW is the culprit in crimes.
@@innileliluvsanDid you even watch the video? Kody was literally stalking her, kidnapped her, gaslit his questionable gf into believing that somehow this criminal behavior was M's indication of intimate interest in HIM (zip ties and all), then killed her specifically because she rejected him. Try to keep up, will you?
As a retired police officer trained in the REID technique, I spend my golden years very much enjoying these videos. First, Javier is a damn good kid and I can see it. There was absolutely no attempt at deception in any of the footage. He is caring, honest, and responsible. Toni is an absolute dishonest individual whose clear obsession of Kody definitely builds the motive for 1st degree murder. Additionally, whenever she says "kinda", the following statement is a lie. She uses "kinda" to be non specific about details in her statement. I'm surprised that interviewers didn't take the opportunity to dig down whenever she used that, major red flag, term. Kody, another liar, would give confirmation looks whenever he was lying. His truth telling style during the interview was looking at his hands, but when he lied, he would make strong eye contact with the interviewer for confirmation to see if they were buying what he was selling.
Honestly even your average Joe would seem suspicious just because of how stressful that situation would be for most people especially being suspected as murder
Bruce Rivers has reacted to one of these videos before. There's a reason psyconomy isn't admissible in court, and it's that it's all bullshit. If the dude protested his innocence this channel would be like, "see? He protests to much so he's guilty." Hindsight is 20/20
Toni was definitely the mastermind behind this. She had to have been so jealous of Micaela's kindness, popularity and, yes I'm saying it, beauty compared to herself.
So you’re outing yourself as prejudiced toward immutable characteristics. If Toni was a less privileged race, would you also accuse her of what you are for that reason? Because it’s no different. You’re part of the problem for any gap in treatment and subsequent “jealousy” in people who are less fortunate. People like you, which is most people, look for any excuse to justify shaming one person’s appearance and reactions to disparity in treatment while praising someone else for unearned traits or making the mistake of believing looking good implies being a good person or vice versa.
I also would not be surprised if people around this couple demeaned Toni in a similar way you are or implied that she was “less than” for superficial reasons in comparison to her bf, even the uploader uses euphemistic language “odd couple”…why are they so “odd”? Even if they had a good relationship or love between them, men especially are easily persuaded by peers to be critical of the woman they are with for her looks…maybe even moving into someone else that society deems “less odd”. After awhile this will get to the person who is being devalued. As it would you, if you were in her place. People in these comments were already salivating and foaming at the mouth wanting a reason to hate Toni before they even had any legitimate one.
What's insane is she confessed all that with a straight face and smiles.. and is aloud to parole. Shes a psychopath. I hope she gets denied parole for life!! Blessings to Ms. Micaela's family..
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i see what you’re saying, but kids like him should be studying not working, sad that we live in a society where kids need to help make ends meat
@@SA-pi3zm With state of the public school system, coupled with the mess of indoctrination and debt that higher education is, children today receive better experience and practical education from a job as opposed to school. The real sad part is that this is the case more today than it has been in the entire modern era.
@@keithselden2096 I mean having a fastener and a knife on hand is actually pretty universally helpful. Now lighter fluid and shovels are a bit more suspicious unless you go outdooring alot.
@@saysay8920 I can understand the lighter fluid and shovel in case of survival situations (I have a shovel in my trunk at all times just in case) but based on their stupidity it seems like it was solely just for misuse as I doubt they'd put those in a borrowed car without bad intentions...
@@natasha675Wow what an inappropriate non-sequitur... it's quite well documented that women get lighter sentences. Women are far less likely to get convicted, and if they are convicted they are far more likely than men to get a lighter sentence. Your point seems ridiculous here, and reactionary.
That mining worker that noticed a random set of tracks in the desert and decided to follow it deserves a medal. God knows how many of us wouldn't have given it a second thought and kept driving, and Micaela would probably never have been found.
@@ghosthunter0404I agree. I don't know if I'd follow them, but I would probably notice them because I'm always cautious about possibly interrupting someone who is up to no good . I would be worried that the someone would still be there and I wouldn't investigate unless I had another person with me.
It's so disappointing every time cops just assume that a kid must be a runaway, despite having no actual evidence in support of that assumption, and don't bother to look for them right away. They're buying killers time when they do that. SMH
The fact that Kody and Toni really expect us to believe Micaela was so attached to Kody, after Javier said in the beginning she kept telling Kody to leave her alone, is just sick.
She definitely did. I wouldn't doubt that she told Kody that he needed to prove he loved her and snatch Micaela. They kidnapped her and beat her with her hands tied behind her back so she couldn't fight back. I wouldn't doubt that they knocked her out then zip tied her. I just can't understand why Micaela would willingly get in the car with 2 people she didn't want to be associated with. Something is still amiss but bottom line is Toni is the reason she's gone. She definitely shouldn't be able to get out of prison. That was such a twist to find out that she was there. At first I thought it was gonna be that she knew because Kody confessed to her, I couldn't believe she was there from the start. Looking back on her first interview and then the prison call, followed by her confession to Kody's lawyer, I knew then it was all her. She used a angry teenage boy to "prove his love ".
Ridiculously unsettling to know a guy you meet as a very young child could end up being your murderer before you even graduate high school. Or at dating the wrong guy in 8th grade could lead to the kind of violence that involves both a knife at the time cutting you and a few years later this type of horrific murder. Just. I can't even.
Teach your kids not to just sleep with anybody n know wtf is not normal. Kids these days think everyone is safe or everyone is looking out for them nahhh
Lets not go overboard. He should have told off his POS son and turned his back on him for what he did! He would have been dead to me upon seeing all the evidence against him and his confession.
Not in my right and wrong world. I could be deeply in love with a woman and upon finding she cheated on me, she would be dead to me from that point forward. The same would apply to an offspring committing such an evil act. @@jamestarrou3685
I’m glad you included his prison phone calls, as hard as they were to listen to. It paints the perfect picture of who Kody really is: a whiny, self-absorbed, manipulative demon.
God, he is the worst. I could hardly bear to listen to his whiny lying confession. We could all read between the lines and understand that he lured her out there and beat and stabbed her to death. Just tell the truth for once in your life, you might even get a couple of years off for cooperation Feel sorry for his dad too who sounds like a decent guy
Why in the world hadn't they checked school surveillance very first thing?! That was literally the last place she was seen alive 🤦♀️ Wouldn't the staff look? Just in case? To save their own butts legally? I don't get it.
Yup! It was all about how good a person he was and how evil his former girlfriend was. Almost like he was doing us all a favor by "offing" her. And I believe zero about how tormented he feels about dong this. @@CruzCruz-nw7fi
@@jeromedavis8575 He's never getting out, which is definitely necessary. After hearing how he spoke to his dad, any family of his would be in danger if he was ever free.
Yea more than likely she manipulated kody by saying if he loves her they have to kill micaela or shed leave him. Jealous and insecure and being manipulative it is most likely the real scenario. And it probably was brought up those months before her murder when javier claimed kody tried getting in touch w her... Sad that jealousy can do that. They hadnt been together in years and both kody and micaela had moved on to "better" relationships... Mainly better in micaelas case...
It’s honestly refreshing to hear a parent hold their criminal child responsible, all too often you hear of parents enabling their murderer child and coddling them. I loved hearing his father say “and what about michaela’s decisions?”
@@joehogan3691 Can you blame him? It's ingrained into us as humans. It must of been heartbreaking for his father to go through and I respect him for not giving in and acceping what his son did.
Kody's reaction to that was so typical for that type of person. It enraged him to not have the pity focus on him that he turned aggressive, demanding and making threats to regain control of the narrative. I can only imagine how exhausted his father must've felt by that time. So sick of a son who thinks only of himself and his feelings. I couldn't handle having a kid like that. He'd be in therapy so fast long before it ever got to this point.
He's showing what a normal thought process is, something his son is devoid of. He has to protect the rest of the family, he's probably figured out at this point he never really knew his son, and to let justice take it's course.
Why did the investigators write Kody off to begin with? His story differed from Toni's straight off the bat when he claimed he saw Micaela at the school when he left at 530, while Toni claimed she got a text from Kody at 530 saying he was home. That would have prompted me to check the school security footage long before a random call about anything in the desert....
@@TheRealTact where I live you can make 6 figures being a cop, so to me, that's getting paid plenty to care. In that area where this happened, its probably one of the better jobs to have.....
@@TheRealTact lol did you stop reading after the first sentence? I said "in that area, it's probably one of the better jobs to have" it's not like they make minimum wage lol
I have a lot of respect for Kodys father. A lot of people don't empathize with the victims of their chikdrens crimes and only think of themselves. He did the right thing by helping Micaelas family get the truth from his son. You can love your child AND do the right thing as a fellow human being.
I came to the comments to say the same thing. As a true crime enthusiast, I don't think I've ever seen this. It's almost always the opposite of this, with parents claiming their child is innocent or even assisting them with the crime. His parents are truly amazing people worthy of much respect.
Listening to his Dad just ripped my heart out. It seems like he did his best but with some people something is just broken. No amount of talking, listening or attention is enough. Nothing is their fault and if its obvious that it is, all the attention deserves to be on them because of how THEY feel. If he hadn't fostered a relationship with his son, he wouldn't have confessed so quick.
my heart always breaks for the parents of the kids who do such heinous things when you can tell the parents don’t deny their child’s guilt, encourage their child’s confession & help the investigation when they can. i can’t imagine being in his situation. obviously my heart breaks even more for that poor girl and her loved ones but there’s also room to feel for the parents who do the right thing when their child is likely guilty or obviously guilty. it would be absolutely sickening to have such an evil child who could do something so disturbing and heinous then continues to feel bad for himself even during the confession. hope cody’s having a horrible time in prison
Javier is a great kid. Not only did he help police understand Micaela’s daily schedule and habits, but even her moods and thought processes. You could tell he really was concerned about her and wanted to help however he could.
@KeyDx7 .....they haven't said anything about Javier being involved. They're saying that even though we do not know him personally he seems like a good person.
@daniellebusam4839 no, you are bad at reading subtext. "He was real broke up" was sarcastic. The dude was poking jabs at Javier because he wasn't crying and mocking the dude complimenting Javier.
Toni should never get out of prison. She’s already proven she’s capable of cold-blooded murder and if given the chance, she would do it again. She’s beyond creepy.
@@MortgageGirl7 I so thought that too, a very bad horror movie, she so reminded me of the crazy woman out of the 1999's movie 'Misery' Also I couldn't help thinking when she said 'Mum comes out today'... I'm thinking 'Out of where?
Yes i feel like she was the demon within the situation that controlled everyone and she was jealous of micaela. Dumb ass cody got played like a fiddle. God bless that poor girls soul and her family.
People like to blame parent’s for their young adult’s actions when it comes to stuff like this, but this is raw emotional truth coming from that dad. He wants to be there for his son but he is in shock more than anyone could ever imagine and his heart is shattered, life flipped upside down.
He said he didn't take her clothes off because "She was sitting" (so he couldn't get them off). She was supposedly dead when he said he was going to take her clothes off. Saying she was sitting means she was alive. He had her zip tied in a sitting position. Those two should rot since they're both sociopaths. Him trying to manipulate his dad on the phone (implying he wants to kill himself because he doesn't feel like part of the family in jail) then telling his dad he loved them when his dad expressed guilt shows what he is. Gaslighting POS. Toni talking like a little girl with him on the phone shows what she is too.
It's pretty amazing that the police keeps telling us "Call IMMEDIATELY if you think someone is missing, the first hours are the most important" and then when Micaela's mother calls, they don't start searching for her until the day after. Nice job guys, knew that I could count on you :D
It is the first 3 half hours that need a quick response . But of course the Police have no end of teenagers leaving home . or staying at a friends without saying . but its no excuse a beautiful young girl goes missing they should act as a just in case . however by time she was reported missing she would have been dead . I agree I do believe the girl hated her Micalia so much she persuaded Kody to kill her clearly it was planned with the plastic wrist bands and the shovel it may have been in the car , however you just dont FIND Plastic Cuffs like that , they wanted her dead , as it said . there may have been arguement ,s but they took her to the desert to kill the poor girl . What she must have suffered and the fear and horror for her must have been unimaginable . Safe in Gods arms . May God give her family help and love , and both parents of the two killers
@@justlooking777they didn’t look at the surveillance till they found her body. Sounds like they were still thinking she had run away. Unfortunately a lot of teens get classified as run aways.
@@justlooking777But they didn't have anything to look for until after a bunch of interviews. They would need a warrant to view the videos and you can't just list vague stuff on the warrant.
It's like the police isn't worried about actually protecting people and instead waits to recover the body. You are not investigators. You are the protectors of the citizen. Your job is to protect the citizen, not wait until they are found dead
I actually thought that her body was dumped somewhere outside of town and Javier was worried they would find her body that way. I was initially thinking he was the killer
Like the fact that some kids would take high school drama this far to the point of murder is beyond me, like you actually can’t make these people up. They clearly were never brought up to think properly about consequences
Kodys dad seems like a seriously stand up man. His plea to his own son to do what's right for the victim while also not trying to sidestep anything, even saying what he's done is heinous. We see many parents try to do the exact opposite. You can tell how much it's killing him as a dad though
Really makes you wonder if he was always like this or it just took a crisis like this to sober him up. I really, really wonder about how good of parents these people really were. I'm sure there are some outliers - like parents that were great and their kid was fucked up by circumstances beyond their control - but its got to be in the vast, vast minority.
I actually think Kody wouldn't have been involved in killing Micaela if not for Toni's presence. If he was alone with Micaela, she would still be alive.
As soon as I heard Javier talking I knew he was innocent. He was giving up all the information he knew, even told the police officer that he thought she was unsafe, something murderers usually don't do. He sounded very honest and I felt so bad for him because you can tell he really cares about her
his rock solid alibi as well. If he was guilty he wouldn't disclose information what can easily be disproved. You know he is innocent the moment he tells his exact whereabouts.
Honestly, he seems like a very sweet kid. I hope everyone involved in this case is doing okay in their healing journey. I can't imagine the pain of loss they're still feeling to this day.
I want to hug Javier so bad like from the very beginning you could just tell he was one of those kids that is just nice to everyone. He looks so anxious and it honestly is heartbreaking
@@joshuablair252oh shut up, you males act like you are so oppressed when the system is literally made up by yall. Not to mention that your gender commits majority of crimes
The way Toni is just nonchalantly telling the lawyer what happened is bone chilling. She shows no emotion whatsoever. She sounds like a true psychopath. I’m glad she told on herself. I don’t even know how she got the possibility of parole after this senseless crime. May Mikayla R.I.P.
@katiejensen5547 where do you see that? I'm genuinely confused. What they read in her diaries didn't indicate hatred or planning at all it was angsty. Definitely not malicious. Idk I see no "pull". Kody is pretty transparently unhinged on his own but I just wanted to see what you were looking at.
Considering how over reported this was, how you can see/hear a 100 different videos and tv shows, and read the entire court room testimony, there's really no good reason Toni got a slap on the wrist in comparison. It's more like legal leap holes and "Hey, they both said he gave her a concussion first, so what if she took his knife and slit her throat. The diary stuff is circumstantial! "
You almost immediately can tell that Javier is being truthful and is a sensitive, kind young man. I can see why Micaela liked him. What a shame that some people in the world are so sick.
Yea she disrespected him a lot. You don’t go talking with your ex boyfriend & riding around with him. That was definitely not right, that young man deserved better.
I am SHOCKED that it took the police several days to even request the school surveillance footage! They’d have had their suspect detained and found her sooner!
Yeah… Had it not been for that guy finding those tracks out in the desert… I think the case would’ve gone cold… They had already “scratched” Kody off the “suspect list” after just ONE interview! 👀 Wait!… What?! I didn’t really get a competent feeling from the Investigators…
@@lencicollier6492it's sad that most missing teens are immediately ruled as rebellious and ran away. But it also depends how white and blonde and rich the parents are. It's actually sad to look up the amount of missing native woman and the very little solved or even started cases.
The father’s voice in their first conversation, at the station... Man, he is in an awful spot: loves his son, knows he’s broken, having to set the boundary that says “no escape from your horrifying crime”, possibly even somewhat scared of him, and just begging him to do the right thing. That’s heartbreaking. That’s real character, too. Huge respect to the dad for pushing him to face the consequences.
Yea real character and a wonderful man. He raised a good kid. I applaud Kody dad for all the accountability he gave Kody growing up. What a dad and great man
Before judging that man too hard maybe you should think a bit about the society you all live in. You love the roll of alpha, masculine men and feminine, petite women, like Barbie and Ken. The males are supposed to be tough, aggressive and go-getters, to take what they want and support their wives and children. Women are supposed to give their men and children what they need, support them, adore them and take care of every single need they have, clean the house, nurture the children and pamper their hard working husbands. So, caring, nurturing men are looked upon as gay or weak and tough females are looked upon as dominant or lesbians. This is the reality your children grows up in and what do you think happens when teenage boys don't get what they want? They take it or throw a fit. Kody was violent and unbalanced. He was also violent and involved with a toxic girl who's whole existence was to be a girlfriend of Kody, an accesoir. Not a self reliant and secure young woman. This is probably more what made Kody go along with the heinous crime than anything else. Kody's dad spent all his day at work, seeing his son maybe in the evening and weekends. How much of all this do you actually think he knew about? You are the only country I know about that have all this "teenage drama" where young people think you can swipe the problems away by killing a friend. It doesn't happen anywhere else! Maybe it is time for you all to vote progressive, start paying taxes used to create a society where both parents work a normal 6-8 hour day, with paid and mandatory vacation and stuff the rest of us already have. Then maybe you will have parents available to the kids while they grow up so that you can constantly give them love and affection along with discipline and care. @@eh5872
@@eh5872 I know modern youth in their quest to blame everyone else on earth and avoid all accountability put everything on the parents, but you can be a good parent and raise an idiot. I am such an example, and I know many others. Unfortunately, your peers matter and you are forced to spend more time with them, no matter how devoted the parent.
@@eh5872 It’s very likely that Kody has some neurological dysfunction that makes him an aggressive sociopath, and that problem can’t be fixed by a parent’s advice or discipline. If you ever have the misfortune to encounter a person like this, and try to “fix” them, you will experience the truth of the futility of that effort. Blaming the father for his son’s behavior is not valid. There’s no suggestion that the father abused him, or otherwise pushed him into this criminality or hostility. Consider this: Are your parents responsible for all of your behavior? Are you nothing more than an extension of your parents? Do you have your own mind, making your own decisions, acting as an independent person? Do you blame your parents for all of your own mistakes, or worse, blame them for your crimes? Other parents in this situation have attempted to hide their children’s crimes, and protect sociopaths from the law, while subjecting society to future murders. Kody’s father did the opposite, to hold Kody accountable, and to keep him from killing anyone else. So yes, he deserves credit, for seeing the situation for the catastrophe is was, and urging Kody to make the morally correct decision.
This case had me on the edge from beginning till the end. Kody reminded me of someone i used to know which is what initially interested me but my God the twists in this case and the fact that life and death were held in those decisions of that day, like it couldve gone left or right, it breaks my heart. My thoughts, prayers and love are with Micaela and her family and all those who knew and loved her.
Not speaking to a girl with a boyfriend in school for 3 months, while having a fiance yourself, then randomly calling that girl to ask her to help you move plywood at his home, is like a 99.9% chance that he is the killer, no other details needed.
I think that it was Toni’s idea to kill her, and she talked him into it, which was easier than he thought….. i just don’t understand why she brutally described to a lawyer all the details?? like “i’m a cold blooded killer will you represent me”
Right? I immediately clocked that. Like, who calls their ex, who they're on bad terms with, to randomly help move construction supplies? Like dude needed help so bad and had no other options except a girl he hadn't talked to in months? lol
@@nicholash1278I think they're just pointing out that it was poorly crafted lie on his part, regardless of whose idea the murder was. They obviously didn't make any real effort to coordinate with each other on what to say. "Oh, those texts? Yea, I needed my ex girlfriend to help move some plywood". Just dumb kids. For all her murderous planning, she was not very bright and he was just as dumb going along with it. Violent but brainless, both of them.
The fact that Tony got the chance to plead guilty to second degree instead of being sentenced to first degree murder without possibility of parole is disgusting. She was just as involved in the crime if not more than kody and she deserved the max punishment as well.
Massive props to Kody's dad for actually confronting his son and enforcing how immoral his behavior was and encouraging him to talk and tell the truth. When the narrator said they left his father alone in the room with him, I rolled my eyes, figuring his father was gonna tell him to shut up and that there was an attorney on their way right now. I feel awful for Kody's father, because you can tell he's absolutely torn up about this and he sounds like a good dad. RIP Micaela, you are missed.
@chaddad1488 he sees the pain the other parents are going through and xan understand what it would be like to actually lose him forever instead of for a "sort time"
@@chaddad1488if your child kills your whole family, I'll make sure to recommend he stays quiet and gets a lawyer.

You feel welcome to raise little psycopaths if you want. The rest of us will continue to make our children take their medicine. 😉
@@protectyourself33 We're not talking about if they took out my family, way to change the context though. You wouldn't get the fatherly bond, this dad is a traitor imo. You can't see the difference between taking out your own family, and some classmate? I'll let you think for awhile and imagine why it's different...Bad analogy by you.
Toni’s cool and collected confession sounded like she was reading off a grocery list rather than committing a brutally violent murder. She’s dead behind the eyes - no way should that sociopath ever be released. 😳
Half way through when Toni first comes on. I came to the comments and you confirmed for me early, her vibe is grotesque. The facial expressions, everything. I bet she thinks she’s doing a good job of concealing herself there. But no, a heart of black right there. I got to “helping him move the heavy metals” why didn’t he ask you then?! 🤮
You can tell Javier really cares for her. So sad to go through such trauma at a young age. I hope he’s ok. And my deepest condolences to him and the victim’s family. So young. So tragic.
Of all these interviews I've watched yeah, he just seemed honestly like the most genuine up front person and you could really tell the situation was eating him up.
I feel bad for little Javier, man. It's such a shame. I can't imagine having somebody you care about...literally your person....taken away from you in such a violating way.
@@dadoogieit was proven that they both were there when she was murdered. Why would she be begging this guy to get back together in front of his girlfriend? They obviously forced her in the car and murdered her. Ridiculous there is always that one creep defending these type of people 💀🤮
Kody’s dad telling him that Micaelas family needs answers and telling him to tell the truth despite that being his own son is so real. That’s a real parent.
I don’t know why but Javier’s segment hurt the most. He really drives home that they’re still so young. He’s so worried and heartbroken and you know the news absolutely crushed him. Poor baby
I was thinking the same!!! He seems like such a sweet soul 😢 my heart truly hurts for her family and him. I hope he never changes and this tragedy just makes him stronger
Javier is a great kid. You can just tell. Hes worried about his friend / girlfriend, hes very honest, he asks the right questions, he goes to work, gets good grades, and takes his girl to the taco truck for lunch, etc. His parents should be very proud of him! Im so sorry for his loss.
When they asked him if he had any questions, his mind immediately went to finding his friend and how the police were going about it. Parents def raised a good one.
He is a piece of shit💩 with the iq of a goldfish - I just feel so sorry for his family and Michaela's family this is tragic... The way he described what happened - what he did, just broke my f'king heart. Like, I'm a seasoned youtuber and have watched some crazy f'king shit, but this one hit different. I feel sick. RIP Michaela I've had enough youtube for today... goodnight my friends
The guy gave off this, "Bruh, I went to work and then suddenly everything was fucked" energy. You know immediately with his tight af clock in time this kid's alibi was tight af, he was at work. Based on the time frame and age, he probably is working a restaurant or retail job, the kind of shit people would notice if you went off somewhere for a couple hours. It was obvious he was at work.
If Toni ever gets out on parole it'll be awful. She so casually explained the murder and didn't seem to care she took someones life. Even confessing that they had a chance to save her but didn't. Jesus christ.
I love how her sentence was life with no possibility of parole for 18 years but she's already having parole hearings at 10 years. It's a joke how we treat murderers with kid gloves while drug dealers get 100 year + sentences. Murder should be LIFE no possibility of parole EVER. If you took somebody's life, your life should be over, forever. No second chances just as there weren't any for the victim.
@@mat5473 It depends on whether it was in self defence or not but I mostly agree with you. Especially if you show no remorse or if you had a plan for it before hand.
Also I don't think people realize that Toni must have been feeling powerful and excited over the fact she convinced the guy who she loves to murder her biggest rival against that love (Mickie) with his own hands. Like Kodi basically chose between the two girls, and their (Kodi and Toni) celebration was murdering her (Mickie) together. @@user-sj6rm6oq6v
Why was the call with the attorney recorded?? I’m baffled by that part, he was literally interrogating her like police. Is it a public defender or something bc if it is then i guess it’s true about them being on the same team as police. That’s crazy
@@MrGFloyd It was Kody's lawyer, not hers. Of course they are gonna use whatever info comes out of that to help their client. She, thankfully, was just too stupid to keep her mouth shut.
@@MsAmyjoy7802 I thought it was cute too. he talks so innocently, kinda like a little kid- inserting mundane, irrelevant details such as he and macaela held hands while walking down the hall as if them holding hands mattered to police 😂 This is in stark contrast to Cody who seems very calculated and everything he says is dishonest and with the purpose of misleading police.
Toni's face looks like a normal high school girl when she's talking, but when she's just waiting and no one's in the room and she drops the mask OMG she looks evil AF. Just cold rage.
Wow, this video was incredibly gripping from start to finish. The way it delved into the complexities of human behavior and the chilling reality of what happened to Michaela was both haunting and eye-opening. The narrative kept me on the edge of my seat, with each revelation adding another layer of intrigue. The subtle nuances in the interviews and the investigators' astute observations painted a vivid picture of the events leading up to Michaela's tragic demise. It's a testament to the meticulous work of law enforcement and the resilience of a community coming together in the face of such a harrowing ordeal. This video serves as a stark reminder of the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface, but also highlights the importance of justice and closure for those left behind.
They both messed up but Toni's eyes and her calm tone like she's reading a script while confessing is 100% clear she's a psychopath, def should never be released.
Exactly. Kody sounded like a selfish guy, but never to the point of not having genuine human emotions, as twisted as they may have been. There was a certain level of remorse... but Toni, completely cold and detached.
That’s western justice systems for you. Equally guilty of the crime, but a lesser sentence because she’s a woman, even though she’s the one who had the motive to kill in the first place.
And not self absorbed. I found it really impressive that he knew her well enough to know she didn’t hide her feelings. Not every teenage boy would pick up on that.
@@kellidinit3725 i wonder why javier did not help micaela and step to kody to tell him to back off because he was bothering and making his girlfriend uncomfortable?
It’s clear to me that he had mentioned Michaela before and thus Toni’s crazy fear of jealousy drove her to persuade him to kill her. They got the sentence they deserved… a lifetime a part.
That girl should have to spend AT LEAST the 18 years sentenced to her before being eligible for parole. It's ridiculous that they would even allow her a parole hearing before then!
She should've got an equal sentence to Kodi's, at least. She was the premeditator -- should've got the longer sentence if anything. (But, of course, she's a girl -- easier to blame the boy.)
@@772amanda237 I agree! She was testing Kody to prove his love for her because Toni's so insecure she wanted Micaela out of the picture....Permanently. Toni is both evil and insecure which is a terrible combo!
I don’t believe for one second that poor girl wanted to talk about getting back together, it’s weird how an alleged conversation concerning turning someone down turns into them being murdered. It makes no sense that they created this weird narrative surrounding their motive for killing her. Why did Kody initiate contact repeatedly to someone he doesn’t want to be with ? Why wait around (stalking ) her just to tell her you don’t feel the same? I’m lost to their entire rationale behind their actions.
I bet what happened was that Kody was trying to cheat on Toni with Micaela and it didn't go as he had planned, so he convinced Toni that Micaela was trying to get him back. Toni seems a bit simple and easy to manipulate.
It's disgusting how even after admitting to the murder they still lie to paint her in a bad light as trying to break up their relationship, as if she wanted anything to do with those maniacs. What I don't understand is how they managed to manipulate her into getting in the truck in the first place.
@@ChuckPalomoand why was she already sitting in the backseat while they picked up his girlfriend? Like, if she truly wanted to get back with him, I highly doubt she would have been ok with picking up his girlfriend to “talk things out”… There wouldn’t have been anything the 2 girls would have to talk about regarding Kody. To me, he definitely made her think they were all just going to hang out, which is why she was already in the backseat, and explains why she even agreed to be in the car with both of them to begin with.
I really believe that Toni planned this whole things from the start and she was so incredibly insecure about her relationship with kody / had an idea that he wanted to be with her that she wanted him to prove in some sick twisted way that he only wanted her and not Michaela….and I think that Michaela was led under some false narrative that she was gonna hang out with the both of them
Even in her grave Micaela fought for her justice, she didn't want Kody to go down alone but Toni as well. Tony wanted Micaela gone because of he insecurities and Micaela is prettier than her.
I haven’t seen any comments specifically noting how chilling it is that Toni, in confessing her part in the murder, self described as not being mad, just kind of frustrated at Micaela. This is someone who so genuinely thinks mild frustration is worth killing over that she can so casually and flippantly talk about it as though she were ordering pizza or chatting at lunch.
It’s because these days everyone is desensitized and it has greatly skewed their moral judgement. They watch violence in the news and in entertainment daily. It has become acceptable to use vulgar language in normal conversation. Sex and porn are pushed on our children through the media, internet and now at least in some areas through the public school system. This slow drip of filth in our daily lives has allowed most young people to look at violent situations as just another thing that gets posted to the internet.
She honestly comes across (and speaks as though) she has some mental disabilities, possibly a brain injury or something. No idea. But it is absolutely terrifying, you're right.
@@EerieEidolon Such BS. Next you'll be saying playing violent video games makes you want to do violence yourself... Or listening to rock music makes you want to kill people. lol Gimme a break...
I cant believe Toni got the lesser sentence. Not only does it seem very obvious that SHE was the one who wanted Michaela dead, she seems WAY more cold about the whole thing. When Kody recounted what happened he cried and sniffled and gagged his way through the story. When Toni recounted what happened.. she sounded chipper and emotionless and nonchalant as if she were telling a fictional story. Tbh even a fictional story usually gets more emotion out of a person. Like she does not care at all. She should have gotten life without parole, as well.
I'm sure that Cody did simply do what his girlfriend wanted him to do. Toni was stupid to speak with the lawyer when she could have kept quiet and gotten away.
His father is a good man. This case is a perfect example that you can do everything you can to raise your children the right way, and they can still make their own evil choices. RIP to Michaela.
God right. Especially relationship wise. They always start off looking like the perfect loving couples. But you just never know. Someone who may look like your soulmate at first could turn out to be your murderer. It’s scary because there’s no way to tell.
This case was insane. I didnt think it could get worse! THE WAY TONI WAS NONCHALANTLY EXPLAINING WHAT THEY DID AND DESCRIBING HOW SHE WAS INVOLVED IS SO CHILLING. these videos are so well done, I love this channel
Yes, she was so clinical and sounded like she was placing a pizza order. Now I missed the part about why they were allowed to listen to a lawyer speaking with his client? I jumped ahead, did they explain?
They didn’t ever mention why. My guess is because he was not her attorney. She was contacting him to see if she could be represented by him. He told her that it depended on what she told him.
Oh man! I was half way through the video when I read your comment. I didn't think Toni had a part in it. lol. Lesson for me: read comments at the end of video. 😂
Toni should have absolutely got life without parole. The chilling calmness of her retelling the timeline of the murder, admitting that they kicked and punched her as she was trying to get up, the fact that she could tell micaela was incoherent as they beat her, she did everything that Kody did. Her sentence is appalling. For me, Toni was the mastermind/jealous girlfriend who convinced her violent boyfriend that they needed to get rid of her. Kody was so in love with Toni that even when confessing to the crime kept Toni out of it.
I totally agree, she probably would have gotten it if it wasn't for the plea deal that she earned herself. hopefully they deny her parole again and she actually gets to serve a life sentence
The way Kodys father broke... I felt that. He was hurting for that girl. His heart was shattered by his son. My heart goes out to him, his family and Micaelas family. No one should have to go through this. I hope Kody and Toni rot in jail and are miserable everyday they are imprisoned.
Yeah, just terrible. You can relate to the family with how sad you would be at losing your child, but then realizing his son caused all that pain... Sometimes you can do all the right things raising a kid and have them still turn into this PoS.
@@tcsprynce5748 forsure bro most definitely Ik what a off relationship is like with your pops and the fact that he's going off him not being there but now it took a crazy situation for him to actually be there ya shits sad forsure
i honestly think Toni should've gotten the same sentence as Kody. She was way more detached too. she literally could talk about the crime without any anxiety or stress or anything to her lawyer on the phone call, she was speaking as if it was a normal everyday conversation about what to have later for lunch wtf
I wish we could see a follow up with javier, the moment he began speaking i could see his genuine care and it broke my heart knowing how this would end
You can tell how politely Javier was trying to stress during his interview that this was not normal behavior. He knew they would look at her past runaway and assume that was all this was, and he was trying so hard to make it clear that if this was in fact the case, she would have told someone. Poor kid
This guy took a young girls life and all he can talk about is his problems and what has happened in his life, how he feels. Him, him, him. He is crying for himself but didn’t shed a tear for her.
Did anybody notice the rock shaped like a broken 💔 at time stamp 34:15 just left of and slightly below center? It just caught my eye. I will never understand how people can murder. 😢
Shocking. Such an evil duo (Kody and Toni) attacking and killing someone. These two monsters worked together and attacked one person. So messed-up. Found it more shocking and disturbing how Toni remained silent for so long. Fortunately, her calls were recorded and the police discovered her role. To commit such a heinous crime like this, these two need to be locked-up indefinitely.
It is absolutely insane to me that checking the school surveillance footage was basically the LAST thing the cops did.

@@innileliluvsan lmfao did you even watch the video
Javier really was so sweet when he asked for planes and search parties. He a good solid kid. I wish him well in life.
He really stood out as such a good kid. He deserves good things.
As a retired police officer trained in the REID technique, I spend my golden years very much enjoying these videos. First, Javier is a damn good kid and I can see it. There was absolutely no attempt at deception in any of the footage. He is caring, honest, and responsible.
Toni is an absolute dishonest individual whose clear obsession of Kody definitely builds the motive for 1st degree murder. Additionally, whenever she says "kinda", the following statement is a lie. She uses "kinda" to be non specific about details in her statement. I'm surprised that interviewers didn't take the opportunity to dig down whenever she used that, major red flag, term.
Kody, another liar, would give confirmation looks whenever he was lying. His truth telling style during the interview was looking at his hands, but when he lied, he would make strong eye contact with the interviewer for confirmation to see if they were buying what he was selling.

Toni was definitely the mastermind behind this. She had to have been so jealous of Micaela's kindness, popularity and, yes I'm saying it, beauty compared to herself.
So you’re outing yourself as prejudiced toward immutable characteristics. If Toni was a less privileged race, would you also accuse her of what you are for that reason? Because it’s no different.
You’re part of the problem for any gap in treatment and subsequent “jealousy” in people who are less fortunate.
People like you, which is most people, look for any excuse to justify shaming one person’s appearance and reactions to disparity in treatment while praising someone else for unearned traits or making the mistake of believing looking good implies being a good person or vice versa.
I also would not be surprised if people around this couple demeaned Toni in a similar way you are or implied that she was “less than” for superficial reasons in comparison to her bf, even the uploader uses euphemistic language “odd couple”…why are they so “odd”?
Even if they had a good relationship or love between them, men especially are easily persuaded by peers to be critical of the woman they are with for her looks…maybe even moving into someone else that society deems “less odd”.
After awhile this will get to the person who is being devalued.
As it would you, if you were in her place.
People in these comments were already salivating and foaming at the mouth wanting a reason to hate Toni before they even had any legitimate one.

She definitely did. I wouldn't doubt that she told Kody that he needed to prove he loved her and snatch Micaela. They kidnapped her and beat her with her hands tied behind her back so she couldn't fight back. I wouldn't doubt that they knocked her out then zip tied her. I just can't understand why Micaela would willingly get in the car with 2 people she didn't want to be associated with. Something is still amiss but bottom line is Toni is the reason she's gone. She definitely shouldn't be able to get out of prison. That was such a twist to find out that she was there. At first I thought it was gonna be that she knew because Kody confessed to her, I couldn't believe she was there from the start. Looking back on her first interview and then the prison call, followed by her confession to Kody's lawyer, I knew then it was all her. She used a angry teenage boy to "prove his love ".
Ridiculously unsettling to know a guy you meet as a very young child could end up being your murderer before you even graduate high school.

It enraged him to not have the pity focus on him that he turned aggressive, demanding and making threats to regain control of the narrative.

Why did the investigators write Kody off to begin with? His story differed from Toni's straight off the bat when he claimed he saw Micaela at the school when he left at 530, while Toni claimed she got a text from Kody at 530 saying he was home.

Nothing is their fault and if its obvious that it is, all the attention deserves to be on them because of how THEY feel.

He said he didn't take her clothes off because "She was sitting" (so he couldn't get them off). She was supposedly dead when he said he was going to take her clothes off. Saying she was sitting means she was alive. He had her zip tied in a sitting position. Those two should rot since they're both sociopaths. Him trying to manipulate his dad on the phone (implying he wants to kill himself because he doesn't feel like part of the family in jail) then telling his dad he loved them when his dad expressed guilt shows what he is. Gaslighting POS. Toni talking like a little girl with him on the phone shows what she is too.
It's pretty amazing that the police keeps telling us "Call IMMEDIATELY if you think someone is missing, the first hours are the most important" and then when Micaela's mother calls, they don't start searching for her until the day after. Nice job guys, knew that I could count on you :D
It is the first 3 half hours that need a quick response . But of course the Police have no end of teenagers leaving home . or staying at a friends without saying . but its no excuse a beautiful young girl goes missing they should act as a just in case . however by time she was reported missing she would have been dead .

Yet if the mother had still called sooner the search woulda started that many hours sooner even if it took a day after the call for it to start lol.
@@justlooking777But they didn't have anything to look for until after a bunch of interviews. They would need a warrant to view the videos and you can't just list vague stuff on the warrant.
It's like the police isn't worried about actually protecting people and instead waits to recover the body. You are not investigators. You are the protectors of the citizen. Your job is to protect the citizen, not wait until they are found dead
Javier immediately stepping up with questions like “what’re you doing like do you have helicopters?” Is just telling that he is honest
That's what I thought when he asked that question
🎯 instead of asking about himself etc He’s a good young gent & feel this made him even more grounded. I wish him all the best in life 🙏🫶🧿
I actually thought that her body was dumped somewhere outside of town and Javier was worried they would find her body that way. I was initially thinking he was the killer
hes an idiot
he's a m*ron
Like the fact that some kids would take high school drama this far to the point of murder is beyond me, like you actually can’t make these people up. They clearly were never brought up to think properly about consequences
It’s absolutely wild Toni just told on herself
Kodys dad seems like a seriously stand up man. His plea to his own son to do what's right for the victim while also not trying to sidestep anything, even saying what he's done is heinous. We see many parents try to do the exact opposite. You can tell how much it's killing him as a dad though
Really makes you wonder if he was always like this or it just took a crisis like this to sober him up. I really, really wonder about how good of parents these people really were. I'm sure there are some outliers - like parents that were great and their kid was fucked up by circumstances beyond their control - but its got to be in the vast, vast minority.
@@defaultname7685they judged his character not his parenting.
I actually think Kody wouldn't have been involved in killing Micaela if not for Toni's presence. If he was alone with Micaela, she would still be alive.

As soon as I heard Javier talking I knew he was innocent. He was giving up all the information he knew, even told the police officer that he thought she was unsafe, something murderers usually don't do. He sounded very honest and I felt so bad for him because you can tell he really cares about her
Same
You can really see it in his eyes too
his rock solid alibi as well. If he was guilty he wouldn't disclose information what can easily be disproved. You know he is innocent the moment he tells his exact whereabouts.
Honestly, he seems like a very sweet kid. I hope everyone involved in this case is doing okay in their healing journey. I can't imagine the pain of loss they're still feeling to this day.
Yes
I want to hug Javier so bad like from the very beginning you could just tell he was one of those kids that is just nice to everyone. He looks so anxious and it honestly is heartbreaking
That girlfriend is scary!!!! So cold and distant and so full of herself!! Why did she only receive 18 years?
@@joshuablair252oh shut up, you males act like you are so oppressed when the system is literally made up by yall. Not to mention that your gender commits majority of crimes
The way Toni is just nonchalantly telling the lawyer what happened is bone chilling. She shows no emotion whatsoever. She sounds like a true psychopath. I’m glad she told on herself. I don’t even know how she got the possibility of parole after this senseless crime. May Mikayla R.I.P.
It makes no sense to me either! She should have been given life without the chance of parole!
SHE IS! He is horrible but she had way more pull than they ever talk about. She hated that girl with a passion.
The fact that she has a other trial next year is crazy this girl needs to stay locked up. She’s a danger to society.
@katiejensen5547 where do you see that? I'm genuinely confused. What they read in her diaries didn't indicate hatred or planning at all it was angsty. Definitely not malicious.
Idk I see no "pull". Kody is pretty transparently unhinged on his own but I just wanted to see what you were looking at.
Considering how over reported this was, how you can see/hear a 100 different videos and tv shows, and read the entire court room testimony, there's really no good reason Toni got a slap on the wrist in comparison. It's more like legal leap holes and "Hey, they both said he gave her a concussion first, so what if she took his knife and slit her throat. The diary stuff is circumstantial! "
You almost immediately can tell that Javier is being truthful and is a sensitive, kind young man. I can see why Micaela liked him. What a shame that some people in the world are so sick.
Yea she disrespected him a lot. You don’t go talking with your ex boyfriend & riding around with him. That was definitely not right, that young man deserved better.

@@michaelfiori6700oh brother
The father’s voice in their first conversation, at the station... Man, he is in an awful spot: loves his son, knows he’s broken, having to set the boundary that says “no escape from your horrifying crime”, possibly even somewhat scared of him, and just begging him to do the right thing. That’s heartbreaking. That’s real character, too. Huge respect to the dad for pushing him to face the consequences.
Yea real character and a wonderful man. He raised a good kid. I applaud Kody dad for all the accountability he gave Kody growing up. What a dad and great man
Before judging that man too hard maybe you should think a bit about the society you all live in. You love the roll of alpha, masculine men and feminine, petite women, like Barbie and Ken. The males are supposed to be tough, aggressive and go-getters, to take what they want and support their wives and children. Women are supposed to give their men and children what they need, support them, adore them and take care of every single need they have, clean the house, nurture the children and pamper their hard working husbands. So, caring, nurturing men are looked upon as gay or weak and tough females are looked upon as dominant or lesbians. This is the reality your children grows up in and what do you think happens when teenage boys don't get what they want? They take it or throw a fit. Kody was violent and unbalanced. He was also violent and involved with a toxic girl who's whole existence was to be a girlfriend of Kody, an accesoir. Not a self reliant and secure young woman. This is probably more what made Kody go along with the heinous crime than anything else. Kody's dad spent all his day at work, seeing his son maybe in the evening and weekends. How much of all this do you actually think he knew about? You are the only country I know about that have all this "teenage drama" where young people think you can swipe the problems away by killing a friend. It doesn't happen anywhere else! Maybe it is time for you all to vote progressive, start paying taxes used to create a society where both parents work a normal 6-8 hour day, with paid and mandatory vacation and stuff the rest of us already have. Then maybe you will have parents available to the kids while they grow up so that you can constantly give them love and affection along with discipline and care. @@eh5872
@@eh5872 I know modern youth in their quest to blame everyone else on earth and avoid all accountability put everything on the parents, but you can be a good parent and raise an idiot. I am such an example, and I know many others. Unfortunately, your peers matter and you are forced to spend more time with them, no matter how devoted the parent.
@@eh5872 It’s very likely that Kody has some neurological dysfunction that makes him an aggressive sociopath, and that problem can’t be fixed by a parent’s advice or discipline. If you ever have the misfortune to encounter a person like this, and try to “fix” them, you will experience the truth of the futility of that effort. Blaming the father for his son’s behavior is not valid. There’s no suggestion that the father abused him, or otherwise pushed him into this criminality or hostility.
Consider this: Are your parents responsible for all of your behavior? Are you nothing more than an extension of your parents? Do you have your own mind, making your own decisions, acting as an independent person? Do you blame your parents for all of your own mistakes, or worse, blame them for your crimes?
Other parents in this situation have attempted to hide their children’s crimes, and protect sociopaths from the law, while subjecting society to future murders. Kody’s father did the opposite, to hold Kody accountable, and to keep him from killing anyone else. So yes, he deserves credit, for seeing the situation for the catastrophe is was, and urging Kody to make the morally correct decision.
@@charlieevergreen3514facts! Well put.
This case had me on the edge from beginning till the end. Kody reminded me of someone i used to know which is what initially interested me but my God the twists in this case and the fact that life and death were held in those decisions of that day, like it couldve gone left or right, it breaks my heart.
My thoughts, prayers and love are with Micaela and her family and all those who knew and loved her.
Can we just take a minute and appreciate the AMAZING editing
Not speaking to a girl with a boyfriend in school for 3 months, while having a fiance yourself, then randomly calling that girl to ask her to help you move plywood at his home, is like a 99.9% chance that he is the killer, no other details needed.
Yeah, I thought that was so weird!
the fiance is the one who orchestrated the murder, kody was just a useful idiot for tony to help her kill michaela.
I think that it was Toni’s idea to kill her, and she talked him into it, which was easier than he thought….. i just don’t understand why she brutally described to a lawyer all the details?? like “i’m a cold blooded killer will you represent me”
Right? I immediately clocked that. Like, who calls their ex, who they're on bad terms with, to randomly help move construction supplies? Like dude needed help so bad and had no other options except a girl he hadn't talked to in months? lol
@@nicholash1278I think they're just pointing out that it was poorly crafted lie on his part, regardless of whose idea the murder was. They obviously didn't make any real effort to coordinate with each other on what to say. "Oh, those texts? Yea, I needed my ex girlfriend to help move some plywood". Just dumb kids. For all her murderous planning, she was not very bright and he was just as dumb going along with it. Violent but brainless, both of them.
The fact that Tony got the chance to plead guilty to second degree instead of being sentenced to first degree murder without possibility of parole is disgusting. She was just as involved in the crime if not more than kody and she deserved the max punishment as well.

Massive props to Kody's dad for actually confronting his son and enforcing how immoral his behavior was and encouraging him to talk and tell the truth. When the narrator said they left his father alone in the room with him, I rolled my eyes, figuring his father was gonna tell him to shut up and that there was an attorney on their way right now. I feel awful for Kody's father, because you can tell he's absolutely torn up about this and he sounds like a good dad.

I agree, she looked evil with no emotion. Her voice never changed while she was stating her part in it.
Completely emotionless, didn't even feign emotion at what would be the suitable parts. An inexperienced sociopath is a pure one!

Half way through when Toni first comes on. I came to the comments and you confirmed for me early, her vibe is grotesque. The facial expressions, everything. I bet she thinks she’s doing a good job of concealing herself there. But no, a heart of black right there. I got to “helping him move the heavy metals” why didn’t he ask you then?! 🤮
Unfortunately they're about to let her out here shortly, in 2024. Sad.
I liked that the investigator treated Javier with respect like an adult, was open to discuss what they were doing to find Micaela.
Man they harassed the FUCK out of poor Javier. Like leave him alone.
You can tell Javier really cares for her. So sad to go through such trauma at a young age. I hope he’s ok. And my deepest condolences to him and the victim’s family.
So young. So tragic.

Of all these interviews I've watched yeah, he just seemed honestly like the most genuine up front person and you could really tell the situation was eating him up.

She so casually explained the murder and didn't seem to care she took someones life.
Even confessing that they had a chance to save her but didn't.
Jesus christ.
Toni was the mastermind behind it all, she wanted Micaela dead and gleefully did it without regret.
I love how her sentence was life with no possibility of parole for 18 years but she's already having parole hearings at 10 years. It's a joke how we treat murderers with kid gloves while drug dealers get 100 year + sentences. Murder should be LIFE no possibility of parole EVER. If you took somebody's life, your life should be over, forever. No second chances just as there weren't any for the victim.
@@mat5473 It depends on whether it was in self defence or not but I mostly agree with you. Especially if you show no remorse or if you had a plan for it before hand.
Also I don't think people realize that Toni must have been feeling powerful and excited over the fact she convinced the guy who she loves to murder her biggest rival against that love (Mickie) with his own hands. Like Kodi basically chose between the two girls, and their (Kodi and Toni) celebration was murdering her (Mickie) together. @@user-sj6rm6oq6v

Wow, this video was incredibly gripping from start to finish. The way it delved into the complexities of human behavior and the chilling reality of what happened to Michaela was both haunting and eye-opening. The narrative kept me on the edge of my seat, with each revelation adding another layer of intrigue. The subtle nuances in the interviews and the investigators' astute observations painted a vivid picture of the events leading up to Michaela's tragic demise. It's a testament to the meticulous work of law enforcement and the resilience of a community coming together in the face of such a harrowing ordeal. This video serves as a stark reminder of the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface, but also highlights the importance of justice and closure for those left behind.
They both messed up but Toni's eyes and her calm tone like she's reading a script while confessing is 100% clear she's a psychopath, def should never be released.
Exactly. Kody sounded like a selfish guy, but never to the point of not having genuine human emotions, as twisted as they may have been. There was a certain level of remorse... but Toni, completely cold and detached.
I believe she pushed him in that direction. Psychopaths are real good at manipulating people.
That’s western justice systems for you. Equally guilty of the crime, but a lesser sentence because she’s a woman, even though she’s the one who had the motive to kill in the first place.
Just looking at her shes a jealous girlfriend. Wanted her out of the picture she didn't trust cody
Javier was raised right and is a responsible young man. It was apparent he was completely honest with the police officers through his interrogation.

That girl should have to spend AT LEAST the 18 years sentenced to her before being eligible for parole. It's ridiculous that they would even allow her a parole hearing before then!
She should've got an equal sentence to Kodi's, at least. She was the premeditator -- should've got the longer sentence if anything. (But, of course, she's a girl -- easier to blame the boy.)

It's female privilege. The reason women bring up "male privilege" as often as they do is to distract from the massive amount they themselves enjoy.
I don’t believe for one second that poor girl wanted to talk about getting back together, it’s weird how an alleged conversation concerning turning someone down turns into them being murdered. It makes no sense that they created this weird narrative surrounding their motive for killing her. Why did Kody initiate contact repeatedly to someone he doesn’t want to be with ? Why wait around (stalking ) her just to tell her you don’t feel the same? I’m lost to their entire rationale behind their actions.
Yeah, that part of the story doesn't make to me either, there was definitely a different reason she went with them.
I bet what happened was that Kody was trying to cheat on Toni with Micaela and it didn't go as he had planned, so he convinced Toni that Micaela was trying to get him back.
Toni seems a bit simple and easy to manipulate.
It's disgusting how even after admitting to the murder they still lie to paint her in a bad light as trying to break up their relationship, as if she wanted anything to do with those maniacs. What I don't understand is how they managed to manipulate her into getting in the truck in the first place.
@@ChuckPalomoand why was she already sitting in the backseat while they picked up his girlfriend? Like, if she truly wanted to get back with him, I highly doubt she would have been ok with picking up his girlfriend to “talk things out”… There wouldn’t have been anything the 2 girls would have to talk about regarding Kody. To me, he definitely made her think they were all just going to hang out, which is why she was already in the backseat, and explains why she even agreed to be in the car with both of them to begin with.
I really believe that Toni planned this whole things from the start and she was so incredibly insecure about her relationship with kody / had an idea that he wanted to be with her that she wanted him to prove in some sick twisted way that he only wanted her and not Michaela….and I think that Michaela was led under some false narrative that she was gonna hang out with the both of them
Even in her grave Micaela fought for her justice, she didn't want Kody to go down alone but Toni as well. Tony wanted Micaela gone because of he insecurities and Micaela is prettier than her.
As I am watching this video I am realizing how suspicious I am when I talk or tell a story
Same 😢
I haven’t seen any comments specifically noting how chilling it is that Toni, in confessing her part in the murder, self described as not being mad, just kind of frustrated at Micaela. This is someone who so genuinely thinks mild frustration is worth killing over that she can so casually and flippantly talk about it as though she were ordering pizza or chatting at lunch.
Her frustrations had been eliminated / satisfied.
It’s because these days everyone is desensitized and it has greatly skewed their moral judgement. They watch violence in the news and in entertainment daily. It has become acceptable to use vulgar language in normal conversation. Sex and porn are pushed on our children through the media, internet and now at least in some areas through the public school system. This slow drip of filth in our daily lives has allowed most young people to look at violent situations as just another thing that gets posted to the internet.
She honestly comes across (and speaks as though) she has some mental disabilities, possibly a brain injury or something. No idea. But it is absolutely terrifying, you're right.
She's probably on the spectrum. Not gonna generalize, but her room and diary entries also give that vibe.
@@EerieEidolon Such BS. Next you'll be saying playing violent video games makes you want to do violence yourself... Or listening to rock music makes you want to kill people. lol
Gimme a break...
I cant believe Toni got the lesser sentence. Not only does it seem very obvious that SHE was the one who wanted Michaela dead, she seems WAY more cold about the whole thing. When Kody recounted what happened he cried and sniffled and gagged his way through the story. When Toni recounted what happened.. she sounded chipper and emotionless and nonchalant as if she were telling a fictional story. Tbh even a fictional story usually gets more emotion out of a person. Like she does not care at all. She should have gotten life without parole, as well.

This case was insane. I didnt think it could get worse! THE WAY TONI WAS NONCHALANTLY EXPLAINING WHAT THEY DID AND DESCRIBING HOW SHE WAS INVOLVED IS SO CHILLING. these videos are so well done, I love this channel
Yes, she was so clinical and sounded like she was placing a pizza order. Now I missed the part about why they were allowed to listen to a lawyer speaking with his client? I jumped ahead, did they explain?
They didn’t ever mention why. My guess is because he was not her attorney. She was contacting him to see if she could be represented by him. He told her that it depended on what she told him.
she sounded so detached, like she was just giving directions to a stranger on the street not admitting to cold blooded murder
Oh man! I was half way through the video when I read your comment. I didn't think Toni had a part in it. lol. Lesson for me: read comments at the end of video. 😂
They were Kody’s attorneys and they were just getting a witness statement from her. Then she decided to confess. Good thing she did too
Toni should have absolutely got life without parole. The chilling calmness of her retelling the timeline of the murder, admitting that they kicked and punched her as she was trying to get up, the fact that she could tell micaela was incoherent as they beat her, she did everything that Kody did. Her sentence is appalling. For me, Toni was the mastermind/jealous girlfriend who convinced her violent boyfriend that they needed to get rid of her. Kody was so in love with Toni that even when confessing to the crime kept Toni out of it.
I wouldn’t call it love, more like obsession.
Female privilege. It's part of western culture. Women and girls are so used to it that they don't realise that it is happening all day every day.
I totally agree, she probably would have gotten it if it wasn't for the plea deal that she earned herself. hopefully they deny her parole again and she actually gets to serve a life sentence

My God this is heartbreaking..I think I'll pass on any more of these videos. May Micaela rest In peace.
I understand. I watch true crime once a yr because it's just awful.
The way Kodys father broke... I felt that. He was hurting for that girl. His heart was shattered by his son. My heart goes out to him, his family and Micaelas family. No one should have to go through this. I hope Kody and Toni rot in jail and are miserable everyday they are imprisoned.
Yeah, just terrible. You can relate to the family with how sad you would be at losing your child, but then realizing his son caused all that pain... Sometimes you can do all the right things raising a kid and have them still turn into this PoS.
That part made me cry
@@smithwillis7276yeah hearing his father break got me too
@@tcsprynce5748 forsure bro most definitely Ik what a off relationship is like with your pops and the fact that he's going off him not being there but now it took a crazy situation for him to actually be there ya shits sad forsure
The father most likely blames himself
i honestly think Toni should've gotten the same sentence as Kody. She was way more detached too. she literally could talk about the crime without any anxiety or stress or anything to her lawyer on the phone call, she was speaking as if it was a normal everyday conversation about what to have later for lunch wtf
She's a cold rat. 🐀
Exactly...she's scary and should be watched carefully from now on

His face turning red is also an indicator of nervousness,well at least that's how my face turns when I'm awkwardly nervous
I wish we could see a follow up with javier, the moment he began speaking i could see his genuine care and it broke my heart knowing how this would end
You can tell how politely Javier was trying to stress during his interview that this was not normal behavior. He knew they would look at her past runaway and assume that was all this was, and he was trying so hard to make it clear that if this was in fact the case, she would have told someone. Poor kid
This guy took a young girls life and all he can talk about is his problems and what has happened in his life, how he feels. Him, him, him. He is crying for himself but didn’t shed a tear for her.
Infuriating
‘He’s crying for himself’ The accuracy right there hurt..
Allegedly!
Did anybody notice the rock shaped like a broken 💔 at time stamp 34:15 just left of and slightly below center? It just caught my eye. I will never understand how people can murder. 😢
Me Monster
Shocking. Such an evil duo (Kody and Toni) attacking and killing someone. These two monsters worked together and attacked one person. So messed-up. Found it more shocking and disturbing how Toni remained silent for so long. Fortunately, her calls were recorded and the police discovered her role. To commit such a heinous crime like this, these two need to be locked-up indefinitely.
Committed murder then went to McDonald's. That's cold.
