The Staudte Family Murder

- The Staudte Family were not without their difficulties, but largely a happy family in Springfield, Missouri. Tragically, the father fell ill. A few months later, the son. A year later, the daughter. All from the same deadly illness. What was really going on in the Staudte family, and who had sided with who?

The daughter described staying in her brother's room after they killed him as a "nightmare". It was so bad that they moved. I'm glad he haunted her. I hope they're both haunted for the rest of their lives.
No such thing as haunting buddy. More like her trauma of tragedy.
@@MuhammadAli-xw4yc Puts me in mind of Poe's Telltale Heart
I mean, do you not see how malnourished & off she was? The whole story of what went on in that home is not being said. All the children looked chronically malnourished & sickly. Mother looks to be a covert narcissist & the one daughter her “golden child”.. likely groomed her whole life by her mom with coercive control. Daughter’s entire personality gets degraded & replaced with a compliant supply that needs to please.
That's called guilt. No ghosts or "haunting" required.
@@MuhammadAli-xw4yc That is totally a haunting, happens all the time
I actually saw this story on dateline, and the sister who survived was so angry and so hurt that even to this day she hasn't spoken to her mother or her evil sister. I frankly don't blame her.
Neither would I. I really hope she's doing better now.
Edit: I didn't realize she forgave her mother. Man...
@@itsasquid from what I remember, she's doing well, still has some effects from the poisoning, but she's doing good. I will say that the mother was a coward, cause she wouldn't even look at her daughter when she made her statement. Again I don't know who's worse the mother or the daughter, I do know there's a special place in hell for those two.
Why would she?!
@@tonyabrookes9931 She should have looked at her daughter when she forgave her. If your woman enough to murder your husband and son along with trying to murder your other child, you look them in the eye and stand there and see the results of what you did to her.
@@itsasquid Well she is a Christian and believes in forgiveness. I can understand that, she also forgave both of them because, who wants to walk around with hatred in there heart, they would have got what they wanted if she didn't forgive them. She didn't just forgive them cause it was the Christian thing to do, she did so she could move on with life, I admire her for that.
I just can’t understand how someone can do something like this. Not just to their own child, but to another human being. How can she think like this about her own children? It’s pure evil.
Well just like how Mike explain it in the video, she hate them. Diane hate her husband, Mark, because he did nothing to support their family. Diane hate her oldest son, Shaun, because he have autism and she also hate her second daughter, Sarah, because she didn't try to find work to pay for her student loans.
Edit: Wait guys I just noticed, what happened to Brianna Staudte, the third daughter of Diane Staudte? The youngest child, the one that have learning disability. Where is she?
@@viclorenzo5016 Well her and her evil daughter are paying for it now, AMEN
@@viclorenzo5016 There are better ways to go about resolving that problem. Especially for someone going to church. Pure evil just like the op stated.
Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't just move away together, the mom and daughter. If everyone else was dead weight then nobody was forcing you to carry them.
@@michaels7325 I'm not disagreeing with @Moira dis because i agree that Diane Staudte and her daughter Rachel Staudte is evil.
The first warning sign was that she picked favorites. It's so damaging even psychologically. Poor Sarah having to be alive to know that her mother and sister betrayed her. And removed her siblings as well. Her forgiveness is unfathomable.
And Sarah forgives them! Nah, screw that noise.
Sarah can make her own decisions. She could easily take the atheist nihilist route and remain in a permanent state of resentment. Yet she chose forgiveness and happiness. We're all sinners.
So Rachiel was helping mom kil off the family, my bad Sarah was a victim! Well Diane and Rachiel better move over, a Burger King employee is likely to join these ladies for food tamporing! She served french fries from the garbage to two black women, but they saw her do it and called the police! That now former Burger King employee is looking at life in prisonif she's convicted, Racheal and Diane are about to have some company plus the former fast food employee will have to pay out of prison work to earn, then send money to her victims and Burger King have to pay hundreds of millions to the victims as well! I wonder if the state will put Diane and Racheal to prison labor to pay for Sarah's recovery and expenses? After what they did they should pay up!
Horrifying case, especially hearing about it as a mother who also has a son with autism. Can we also talk about how eerily similar Rachel and Diane’s mannerisms are? They even talk the same
Peope keep sayn they have same mannerisims n speak the same. Dianne seem pathetic mousey. Rachel seems much more evil when she speaks. They interrogations are fascinating. I abseloutly love that detective He was beyond brilliant with both these preadators. I wonder if they stayed together in jail?
@@cynthiacromwell8002 they didn't.
It's expressly assured that suspects from the same case never meet in jail.
@@cynthiacromwell8002 I believe it could have been Rachel idea to kill family and mother was just an accomplice
@@ezookami4540 Based on what they've both admitted, Rachel was the one who came up with the idea to use antifreeze.
@Elizabeth Martin as someone who's autistic, I heavily agree. they both had autistic mannerisms. makes me so sad.
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again. So happy for how well it’s going for you Mike. You really deserve it. Such an awesome TH-camr. One of the best for sure
Best, ever.
I third that! So lovely to see someone do so well, so consistently informative and entertaining..☘️☺️I find it oddly calming😸

100%
I’m with them Mike !! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
When she was like “ because a house is nasty after someone dies in it…” she legit creeped me out… I hope her brother was haunting her making her feel all uncomfortable… sick women, these two… my God.
she murdered her husband and child and the worst part of it (for her) was having to be in a house that someone died in... bizzare
Hello Mike just would like to say I really enjoy watching your videos and I usually don't comment on anything but this one right here took the cake so I'm going to try to give it a goo did this sicko really think she could get away with killing her husband her son and trying to kill her daughter come on three-in-a-row makes you wonder how she raised her kids as babies because clearly she is not mother material that's for sure her and her favorite daughter are dumber than a box of rocks nothing but pure evil somebody needs to slap the demon out her ass Totally Wicked
yeah when she was talking about how she was "feeling things in there" it's like YES, GUILT. That's guilt you're feeling. Total psychopath.
I'm not one for believing in ghosts and stuff but I'm hoping that her feelings of guilt will feed her as they clearly have been and she is truly scared of her victims ghosts coming to see her on a regular basis for the rest of her life.
@@bangitybangbabang that’s the daughter 😟
"When Sarah got bad, why did you guys take her to the hospital?"
"I didn't want another one to die in the house..."
"Why is that?"
"'Cause houses are *nasty* after someone's died in them...like after Shaun died I had a lot of nightmares...I moved into his room for a while and I kept feeling things in there...It was awful, awful, awful...ugh."
Well-played, Shaun.
1-DZ
She's completely wacko, not in the legal sense, but wacko anyway.
She wasn’t the beneficiary on their policies
Hopefully Shaun's trapped spirit attached itself to her and followed her into her jail cell...
It was Shaun letting Sarah and mom know they done messed up! It's one thing to murder somebody, but if it's a animal, child, special needs person or just a person who is innocent by way of being nice to everyone, their spirit becomes poltergiests to avenge against the one who killed them! It's like a superhero's spirit, they come back to haunt you for taking them out of the universe! Shaun kept letting his mother and sister know they done did it this time!
23:34 "I didn't want another one to die in the house." She took her sister to the hospital, not to try to actually help her, but so that she, herself, wouldn't be freaked out in the house. Even her reason for getting her sister some help was selfish and evil. Both mother and daughter are pure evil. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
She had one hell of a role model
Absolutely
These might be the most evil people I’ve seen on this channel to date. The fact that they didn’t even do it for money, just for convenience *AND* had the audacity to go to church of all places while leaving their family members to die at home is a new level of vile I didn’t think was possible
It's like witnessing generational psychopathy before your eyes
The lack of affect, the lack of empathy, classic sociopath. Her and her daughter. Makes me wonder about the theory of inherited sociopathy and psychopathy..... is it inherited?
Malignant narcissism, or sociopath
I wonder if Rachel ever thought that her mother would do the same to her as she did with the other family members. Did she honestly think it wouldn't happen? How different was she compared to the others, being described as useless, dead-weight, pests, etc.
I know, I was thinking the same thing.
How could you ever trust your mother?
Never let your drink out of your sight.
Her mother would of killed her just because she knew the truth.
I watched two of her interviews and in one of them she did in fact say "I probably would have killed myself" because "it was probably gonna be me next"
Edit: I will also add she sounded very insincere
I believe she thought she would be next if she didn't help. Also, having attended high school with Rachel, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't also Munchausen by proxy going on. She looked even worse when I saw her the summer before they got caught.
“Houses are nasty after somebody dies.” That’s why they took the daughter to the hospital before she died. When the daughter said that it just gave me chills down my spine. Just really wicked!
I'm like almost positive she was undiagnosed autistic
Actually like 90% of them except mark
The daughter is creepier than the mom, to me.
I'd rather call it stupid, not wicked.
She probably couldn't sleep peacefully after killing and planning and killing and planning, oh she has emotions (sees her mother's and bottle of antifreeze everytime she closes her eyes (and opens her mouth, lol)
Why didnt she and her daughter just leave the house, like move away? Why kill them and rob them of their lives. Its so sad and heartbreaking and i feel so so sorry for Sean , the son who just wanted to hang out with his mum and talk to her :(
They probably wanted to keep the assets, that is, the value of the house and so on. If they had moved out and start over, they probably wouldn't have as nice of a life. That's just my assumption anyway. These kinds of people don't like to give up on any material things, they want everything for themselves.
Insurance money
to be officially alone to continue their vile incest relationship
She still would have been supporting them because the loser husband wouldn't get a job.
@@NiecieSavo Just like Chris Watts wife, lazy woman should have gotten a job

This is the absolute greatest commentary I have ever heard in my 40 something years on this planet... Only person I will ever turn notifications on for is this hilarious chap ❤❤
This case reminds me of Marie Hilley, who was profiled on "Unsolved Mysteries" back in the 90s. She targeted her own family members for death, except that her motive was financial...she had life insurance policies on her victims. She didn't use antifreeze, she used arsenic. Unnatural levels of arsenic were found in her mother's and mother-in-law's bodies after death. Her husband died from arsenic poisoning also. Her daughter narrowly survived arsenic poisoning as well. Her son exhibited symptoms of arsenic poisoning but this cleared up after he left home to attend school.
Here's a weird fun-fact.... my Grandmother was friends with Marie Hilley. (Way before she went off the deep end)
Freaky huh?!
I've heard of her, there was a great film made about her a while ago x
I remember seeing her on there, also.
That's an awful death
Also, really, who could get away with murder with that??
@@jessiefrye3045 oh man scary
The detective was super professional. Got the confession without saying much.
“Consequence? Me ballocks!”
Mike, you are so delightfully Irish- it’s adorable!
Hope you are well, my friend!
Will be back on Patreon with you very soon!
Cases like this make you wanna tell them "you should've just done it to yourself... YOU'RE the problem. They weren't". Infuriating.
She's probably a narcissist. :P
Yeah, she talks about her two kids being parasites but her daughter is actively trying to get a job and her son seemed functional. Not that if it wasn't, it would be excusable but she's clearly making excuses. How much do you want to bet that the younger one would have ended up there too?
Totally!
Let's be fair here... the father was unemployed so she had to carry the family alone. The father didn't even attempt to find work and just cavorted around with the band, leaving her with all the responsibility. He was a parasite. The son was autistic and could not function as a normal human being. He would have been a parasite on her for the rest of her life. As for the other sister... who knows. Perhaps she was incredibly lazy and refused to look for work. Just saying. Perhaps the circumstances where so bad that it really broke the mother, leading her to consider killing them.
@@ivanasukjadic1423 The son was functional and working. He was not a severely disabled person who she had to spend her day caring for. In this situation, it is equivalent to saying she killed him because he was dyslexic. Many autistic people are more functional and helpful to society than (normal) people. And the eldest daughter, there is a moment where her sister talks about how she poisoned her while her sister is watching employee searches on the computer. She is actively trying to find a job and not be a burden. These are excuses. Honestly, she may have killed them just because they reminded her more of her husband than herself.
Antifreeze has a troubling track record when it comes to the people it’s killed whose cause of death would say otherwise.
I know of *at least* 3 other cases where it wasn’t until a 3rd person was on death’s door, with 2 other family member’s deaths preceding them, that the case was finally looked at for what it was - serial poisoning. That of course brings up an alarming thought about how many people have poisoned someone but because they stopped at just one no one has ever caught on to them.
Yeah that's extremely disturbing. I just Googled if there is a way to test for antifreeze (for the record it was for educational purposes only and I have no thoughts or intentions of using it for the reason in this video 😬) and of course there is. Maybeeeee it should be used when people (dead and alive) at the hospital arrive with the symptoms. I mean duh.

@@bobbyshmurda5225 I'll say he's a stud. 😁
Thank YOU!
I used to think parents who abandoned their families were the most horrible people, but then I see cases like this and realize there’s an even more evil alternative.
Why even get married and have children if you can’t handle the “burden”? It’s so incredibly selfish, and I’ll never understand it.
Having kids in todays society in general is one of the most selfish things to do.
Considering one can drop kids off at the fire department or police station and not get hassled. There is no excuse to harm a child because of the stress they bring on.
If put them up for adoption nit great but least less likely get killed by pare to but more with adoptive or foster family... not sure. Which would be better..
People don’t know what they don’t know- they think they can.
Some kids just grow up to be evil.
I love the addition of the memorial for the victim. I wish people could recognize these cases by the victims, instead of the murderer. Those people should get nothing but punishment for what they've done, much less notoriety.
I actually went to school with Rachel and was in music performance with both of them after the two murders. I also know the pastor that first suspected the deaths were murders and made the reports to the police. Diane's brother was actually my first piano and organ instructor. Needless to say, it was a shock to just about everyone.
Edit: Also, there was a report after Shaun's death prior to Sarah's poisoning. It wasn't investigated because there wasn't enough evidence to investigate at the time.
Some people are crazy.
@@truecrimewithbonnie6635 Crazy isn't the word, it's just pure evil. I can't imagine even thinking of doing something like that. Had to hug my kids extra tight after this.
Just another dollop of proof that being religious leads to becoming murderous, insane, and sociopathic. All religion is evil, faith is a human flaw, and there has never come a single good person or concept, from any religion :) None, zero.
Remember guys, the only people with any actual future that's involved helping humanity and progressing to new heights of human advancement, will NOT believe in a religion. Faith has never helped a single person, ever, and adhering to these beliefs ONLY does harm to all of us. Especially teaching your kids the dogma. When Sarah, who had just been poisoned, said she forgives her mother and sister because she is "A Christian", that broke my heart. Why? Because she doesn't know any better. She was taught the doctrine by her psycho mom, and only believes in it because it's all she knows. That same doctrine is what lead her mother and sister to commit these crimes. And you can't convince me it wasn't.
Every person of faith, whether it be your insane QAnon morons, or the "nicest" pastors you know, they aren't good people. None of them are. If you hold faith, you're just as bad as the most evil beings to ever exist. Focus on fact and what we know to be true, don't hold faith in anything. You will ALWAYS be led astray by faith.
@@KristenDETW right? I'M crazy. i'd never kill anyone, period. it makes me depressed seeing rachel not understanding what she's going through & feeling so little. she clearly had guilt, she clearly knew it wasn't right, she had unresolved trauma over it (the repetitive nightmares and feeling off about being in his room) but was so thoroughly brainwashed & ruined by her own mother that she felt nothing at the thought of removing her own family members from the picture so that they wouldn't have to deal with being "annoyed" anymore.
@@feshpince7181 I'll be praying for you :)
She didn’t deserve a plea deal. This was clearly 1st degree premeditated murder. No deal was necessary, and there should be NO possibility of parole. Stop making these terrible deals.
That first word you used is why she gets leniency. Women can literally murder their kids and get a lesser sentence than a man would get in a bar fight.
Seriously, there was NO NEED they both CONFESSED. Jesus how bad of a prosecutor can you be to feel you need this lunatic's "help" with such an open and shut case?? It makes me furious.
Especially an Alford Plea. Very weird.
The mother got life without parole.
The daughter with. I'll assume after 25 years is typical. It does not mean she'll be granted parole straightaway.
I can understand giving the daughter a plea as she was young and there could be an argument made that she was brainwashed by her mother. I’m not saying that was the case but if even one juror thought that way, they could find her not guilty and cause a mistrial. That’s why I think they did it.
A person can get to a point of not going to take it anymore. She was the breadwinner, the one supporting the whole family and everyone else was doing what they wanted to. The resentment can build up. That is usually when you file for divorce and kick the grown children out of the nest. She and her daughter took a different route instead of doing things the normal way.
You know what’s a great idea?
Keeping an earnest, thorough diary when you’re the murderin’-type.
@ 2:35 that face Mike made at their 10 years age difference between Mark and Diane was too funny 😂
Scary to me that people like this exist out there man, and the amount of videos you have about this stuff is so insane
Officer: "Why did you take Sarah to the hospital?"
Me: (I bet she called 911 in order to appear less suspicious this time)
Diane: "I didn't want another one dead in the house"
Me: 0_0
You're about the only TH-camr out there who makes everything interesting, clear and absorbing. I get so tired of other sites that act as though everything is funny, including murder. Keep it up!!! I look forward to your videos. Oh, and I like the Hawaiian shirts, too.
I am Springfield born and raised and “The missing Springfield Three” is still the creepiest and most mysterious incident that has happened here. I know you covered this story as well. I remember seeing their flyers everywhere and seeing Stacy’s poor mother and father handing them out all over the town.
If you watch this video they were wiccans. The Springfield 3 were statanic killings.
I just stumbled on a sub on Reddit that actually said they have suspects on that one?? I hadn’t ever heard that before, but I hope they do. That one pops into my head often, so weird
@@jorgeharris6884 I'm sure you're aware but maybe others don't realize that wicca is not satanic🙂
I’m aware. I’m also aware of how true luciferians join multiple religions. As in the order of nine angles. Or how members join the OTO , AA, illuminates of thanateros, the freemasons all at once.
Thank God for the pastor’s gut feeling and his decision to call it in.
I feel bad for the pastor and grateful he acted. No doubt he officiated the two funerals and smelled the rats in the family pew, but with the bodies cremated he knew there would be no evidence even if he voiced his suspicions. When Sarah was in the hospital he had the good sense and morals to jump into action and save her life! The hospital staff was suspicious but they probably did not know about the deaths, so they weren't in a position to report much of anything. Only the pastor knew enough of the story to get the attention of police. I wonder if the pastor questions his choice of profession after this or if he still believes the good outweighs the bad. Where does a religious man go for peace if church and church music remind him of the worst people he ever met?
@@JJoy-bk8yr every individual is responsible for his own salvation, even if you are in a church surrounded by murderers I'm sure that God will reward you as long as you keep true to yourself.
@@JJoy-bk8yr The bible states evil outweighs good in life. So to be a truly religious man you have to be cynical towards people . I'm sure it made him question though if it's worth being a religious man. When who your preaching to are those evil people.
A family affair of hastened unnatural selection indeed. Great coo-coo story, Mike, thanks!

🤣😂❣️🤣
Are u an Aussie? That's a very Australian thing to say!
This made me wonder about all those deaths ruled 'natural' but are actually murders. How many people out there have gotten away with it? It almost seems like most people get 1 freebie, it's when you go nuts you get caught but if not..... you get away with it. Scary huh?
They had TWO! It's CRAZY
‘Well, that was a freebie,’ any member of the Bluth family.
I suspect that a black widow killed my best friend's parents. I will never ever tell my friend I think that, but for years I kept wondering who was dating/marrying the very suspicious woman who had married my friend's recently widowed dad and then rather quickly outlived him. I actually started wondering if I should track her down to warn people. Evetually I casually asked my friend if the temporary stepmom from hell was still living in my friend's childhood home. Turns put she had passed away some time back in another state. One less thing to worry about . . .
That daughter is something else. I almost wonder if she's on the spectrum. There's just something "off" with her brain and maturity. I can't believe she wrote about it in her diary too. I bet mom was thrilled to learn about that one.
Why? The mother admitted guilt.
I was thinking the same thing, AND I think the Mom might be as well... For similar reasons as Rachael
"She had palm trees in her eyes!" Funny, Mike!
Turning yellow, excessive sleeping and limited responses? My first guess would have been late stage alcoholism. When it happened AGAIN in the same family in that short period of time, then I'd be pretty suspicious. The consequences of late stage alcoholism don't come on overnight, it takes YEARS to reach that point. For example, I was a serious alcoholic for over 15 years and never reached that kind of point. When the dad died, I could buy that maybe he had a secret drinking problem, but when the son goes the same way not a year later with no known history of problem drinking like his father. I'd start spamming X to doubt.
Edit: Oh christ, the daughter too?? That would have alarm bells screaming for me that there was fuckery afoot.
I have no idea how nobody noticed the similarity in the two deaths or questioned anything. Doesn't fill you with much confidence!
Or just liver damage from the poison. Her leaving him alone after having 3 seizures was very suspicious.
Talking about how she doesn't want to pay her daughters' college bills. Then the next sentence she's back to talking about how she should've taken her sooner. Those two sentences back to back speaks volumes to me. The audacity to complain about her daughter, then switch to a pathetic attempt to sound concerned or remorseful she didn't do more. Insanity.
It’s crazy I live fairly close to Springfield and I don’t remember hearing about this at all.
Wow...if and when the daughter gets paroled they really need to keep an eye on her!
In case she blows away??
Just because Rachelle complied with her mother doesn't mean she's not abused too. She appears anorexic also. I believe she can be rehabilitated with therapy. Diane is beyond that.
I swear, as soon as you said, "And it turned out Diane...." I thought out loud "had not acted alone, right?" and bam. Word for word. Disgusting.
Never let down, every time I think to myself "I wonder if there's a new That Chapter video" I search only to find another new release from no more than 30 min ago. Impressive production schedule Mike. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
Every Tuesday and Friday at 8 p.m Irish time.
@@kimmoran4437 odd how our minds automatically sync up with certain times without trying.
its actually kinda scary that they would always get away with the first murder if they wouldnt keep going for more...
My sympathy goes to this poor wife and mother. She took care of them for a long time and got zero show of gratitude or love from a husband who never grew up and children refusing to grow up...till despair led her to commit this unnatural act. What a sad end.
If _"Being a hideous social reject who has to troll online for attention"_ were a person...
Omg. She hated her kids. And this one daughter is also a copy paste of her. Madness.
pretty sure I've seen characters in horror movies based on Rachel
that interview creeps me tf out
Who would just leave someone who had "several seizures" or was "sick for several days" to go off to church for a couple hours?
Take a second and be impressed by the detective interview. Little evidence and got a confession on the first interview.
Mark looks very sad in the photographs of him going back to the 80s - of course that may have just been his expression etc but I wonder if his issues with not working/lack of drive had to do with an issue like depression. Also she reminds me of a female BTK- performing at church like she was such a good religious person but was a severely cruel psycho who tortured her spouse and children to death. Ugh.
Lmao....my Chihuahua just howled when that guy Mark started singing on this video.....LMAO.....classic
She involved her daughter in this which is even more disgusting. I wonder how many years she actually wanted that because they both started to plan it a year before the deaths but how long it takes to convince someone that your father and siblings must go because they are not perfect. It’s kinda scary thinking about it, she must have started this antagonizing behavior long ago till her favorite daughter started to think like her. She effectively ruined the lives of all her children…
The antidote for anti freeze poisoning is ethyl alcohol. What gets you is the methanol, or methyl alcohol.
The Ethyl alcohol will basically block the absorption of the methanol, protecting the kidneys, and being easier on the liver.
We had an emergency once when I worked in pharmacy services where I had to pick up and deliver 1.75L bottles of bottom shelf vodka so the pharmacy could compound an ethanol antidote.
Diane Staudte’s interrogation is one of the most captivating I’ve ever watched. I highly recommend watching the whole thing.
where?
I hope the nightmares haunt these two the rest of their lives. Love your channel...despise these two evil women. Thanks for the consistently incredible content! From Seattle.
22:29 She was on her computer a lot, TH-cam a lot...That Chapter a lot. I would have fallen out of my chair if she had said that!!!!🤣
I remember this case too, there's actually a third one like it too, where the mom killed her husband because he'd moved into the basement with his mistress. Have you done that one?? 🤔
Well it doesn’t take much imagination to kill. It takes imagination to Live Well.
What a sad ending to those she killed.
how does she not realize that her saying things like “sarah was a difficult child” or “we didn’t have a good marriage” is just setting her own self up with motives. just the way she talks about her family, makes me wanna punch her in the face. the fact that she didn’t think she would get caught & that she “didn’t want to hurt them” but poisoned them??? i can only imagine how traumatized the surviving daughter must be.
This is one of the few That Chaptes cases that shocked me more. There are so few cases where the mother kills her sons in a premeditated way...and without a pound of remorse or regret during confession. She seems so exhausted and tired and the confession seems just a relief but the burden was her family in her mind. And this is so depressing
I think her family was getting too much for her in real life. Please don't get me wrong, she is despicable and her actions atrocious, but if you had to be the breadwinner your whole married life with no support from your husband, and watching him living carefree while you slogged all the time, it could certainly push a person over the edge. As the mother of 3 grownup children myself I can understand how overwhelming it can get at times. But I would not, nor could I ever, regardless of how much pain, suffering and disappointment my children have caused me, even imagine to get rid of them!!
There are so many cases of woman doing this. You must be sexist or blind.
@@Momz0r Simple, leave him, put her son in a institution, tell her daughter to leave and get a job. That would leave her and her other "thing" to live in peace.
How did that police officer sit there and listen to her without at least giving her a glass of water or something? Jesus, the sounds were driving me mad and I just got the highlights
Thank you for the upload, Mike! Fantastic storytelling as always ❤️
Saw a video the other day and as soon as I heard the “let’s give it a goo” I was like, I’m definitely going to watch more of these
Am I the only one that notices that these crazy cases seem to happen in the church-going families more often than not?
Spot on.
99% of the time
Because "houses are nasty when people die in them" yet she never thought of prison,how nasty they are and how many people fied in them. This is just proof of how peoples minds can easily be manipulated,the same is with the news,movies,songs,etc
Hey Mike! It's been a pleasure watching you grow and become more confident and still continue to put forth quality work as often as you do. I know you work hard doing the research and editing for your shows, and your growing number of followers and subscribers are a reflection of our appreciation of you. Keep up the good work!!
She was furious the people she "loved" needed her assistance, but chose to poison them over time--which would only prolong their need for help AND greatly increase the level of care they would need. She needed them to feel needed! She harmed them, physically & psychologically, then criticized them for their inability to fight back. Now that there's no one to depend on her, she'll realize exactly how useless SHE is. She's really the smallest little fish in the ocean that is the American justice system.
There’s a few clarifications needed for this case, not that they change the outcome. So there was life insurance for Sean which was 15 grand and Sarah also has a 15 thousand dollar life insurance policy. In Rachel’s interrogation she stated that Sarah not only knew of the plan to poison Mark and Sean, that she participated in poisoning them. Which I don’t believe is true. And also I am not sure if it was Diane or Rachel but one of them said they had been talking about killing Brianna next. Again I am not sure if that’s true or not. In fact I believe Rachel stated that everyone but Brianna and the intended victims knew not to drink the coke or Gatorade that was in the fridge because it was poisoned and was profiled due to each victims pretence in drinks. And because of this they poisoned Sarah’s root beer as it was her preferred drink. The interrogation tapes explain soooo much but are very very disturbing. I think at one point one of them stated that they chose antifreeze because they didn’t want them to suffer and they wanted them to die quickly. And considering that antifreeze poisoning is the complete opposite of quick and painless I think these two enjoyed the suffering of Sean, Mark and Sarah very much and seen it as a punishment as well as a culling of the lazy and annoying members of their family. Oh and Rachel made statements to the pastor that were somewhat incriminating and raised his suspicions even more.
I saw some footage where the mother was asked if she had poisoned Brianna, she stated 'no , I love her' ...absolutely chilling !
Yeah that one was bright as a blade of grass
The psycho sister said, "I didn't want another one to die in the house." Wow. She didn't give a shit about them. This is a really bizarre one.
Most definitely you are my favorite blogger by far. Keep up the excellent videos.
Mike, I really like your synopsis on this one. And as usual, great vid: interesting, entertaining, and informative.
Life is hard. Dealing with family can become tiresome and a burden when family members are
negligent and abusive.
My advice..... Try reaching out to your church pastor or friends before reaching for the antifreeze.
Canned Fresca and sealed water bottles to finish in one sitting is what I'll be drinking for a long time after this one.
The kids each had a 15 000 dollars life insurance.
the daughter she was in kahoots with looks absolutely emaciated
I've seen and heard Mr Mike say I love you before, but for some reason, this one just felt personal hahaha. Very enjoyable!
Wooo yeah Mike love your content it's always good !! Wish we could get more videos out of ya lol thanks for what ya put out man !!
"i regret doing it, I really do." No, she absolutely does not. If she did, she wouldn't have done it every 6 months. She had six whole months between each murder to reflect on guilt and regret, and each time she decided to do it again, and again. She does not have a shred of regret or empathy, she only regrets getting caught.
Exactly this - clearly a malignant narcissist devoid of empathy. I'd be willing to bet that she would've killed her favourite daughter if she even so much as stepped out of line, or became a "burden" too. She didn't care about anyone but herself, and the daughter she did like had to act the same way as her / turned into her in order to survive. Clearly mental health issues or folie au deux situation. All the kids didn't stand a chance in one way or another.
She regrets starting a family, maybe.
Sounds like she was sick of them all bleeding her dry and being the only one working.
when they interrogated the daughter who helped they asked if the youngest child was going to be next and she said "i don't think so, she actually has potential." i couldn't believe what i was hearing 💔
She got away with it with Blues Traveler or whatever her husband's name was....and he oldest son was autistic and she likely didn't want to deal with that...I'm surprised it wasn't her youngest who was next....if she had learning difficulties then I'd think she wouldn't want to deal with her. But it was the getting away with the first moida that kept her going!!!
"I was afraid he'd kill himself, so I did it for him", such a wonderful wife and mother.
The self-pity is strong with that one.
She's a treasure!
A normal mother would just bring him to a psychiatrist and put him on medication. She probably just didn't want to be his mother anymore. She did it for herself, not him. Edit: probably a narcissist. (Not diagnosing, just speculating.) Narcissists don't get narcissistic supply from older kids; they only get it from babies because they're dependent on them for survival.
Righttttt
He threw things at the kids so I killed him and then killed the kids
Diane: _”I didn’t want to hurt them.”_
Also Diane: _Poisons three members of her family with antifreeze, a most agonizing death._
I did the biggest eyeroll when she said that.
...right, she also said, "“I didn’t want another one to die in the house”....
@@xell1969 that was Rachel, the daughter. Diane was straight up cold-blooded. I think Rachel could have come out differently if it wasn't for Diane. Kudos to Sarah for forgiving them, I don't think I would be able to forgive someone for killing 2 of my family members and trying to kill me
Her reply was shocking. Almost like she was another person answering the second question
@@johnmcmanus2447 yea I think she was strongly shaped by her mother. It's almost like her mother intentionally made her daughter codependent on her, to the point she could talk her into anything, and the reason she never left the home was because she couldn't function without her mother, but when that codependency started to tire her, she decided the daughter had to go too. If you listen to the daughter speak, she sounds a lot like her mother, but I just get the feeling she may have developed entirely differently if she had had a healthy relationship instead of the toxic one her mother fostered. It's a really sad case that's for sure. I'm just glad the youngest girl is away from those two now. Who knows how long she had left. Hopefully she is in a loving, stable environment now.
If she found her family annoying, I'd love to hear how she's getting along with her fellow inmates
Well, they really don't like other inmates who kill their kids so she's right where she belongs.
(Rachel voice).."jail is Nasty..so many nightmares..its AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL
Both mom and daughter probably have girlfriends already. It's easy to imagine they're being punished by other inmates but I doubt it. After all, the other inmates have murdered too.
She is better off in prison without responsibility for 4 sick kids and lazy husband. Horrible life she had on this planet...
@@braetonwilson4296 Right but baby killers are extremely unpopular in prison.
Its amazing how many of these cases would've been solved with a divorce
Right, it's nuts 😳
girl, you're not getting nightmares just because someone died in the house, it's because you killed them yourself.
No shit
I mean, someone dying in someone’s house could give one nightmares…
Like a lot of people, the mother was brought up to believe that getting angry is always a bad thing. So she spent her whole life "stuffing her anger" until she just couldn't take it anymore. That's not a good reason to murder anyone but at least it's understandable. But what's really bizarre is that she raised one of her daughters to be just like her. There is NO Way that this mother was "normal" until she started to kill. My guess is that the husband knew for years what a Mental Case she was, but he enjoyed "free loading" off of her too much to chance disturbing this weird family dynamic that allowed him to be a full time, lifetime loafer.
@@kennethguthrie180 bit time for the angry spirit to leave ? Sounded wierd
I wonder if his ghost still had autism.
“I didn’t want to hurt them” *poisons them slowly over time and watches them become sicker and sicker* idk Dianna that seems like hurting them to me.
She lied.
hurts them even more... n also they didnt even know it... just randomly died as far as they knew...
V n ,k
, 😂
No s$#@ eh ,the most horrific mental and physical painful way to kill loved family members!
In the worst way ...in every way.... physically, mentally, brutally, let's discuss it over some green tea, and lime jello, made it special for ya Di's mmmmm. Cuz u Special !!!
The matter of factness in which the mom and daughter speak of the murders is absolutely sickening. No remorse, no guilt. Bone chilling
The fact that her nearly grown son was just trying to talk with her and hang out with her and she found it irritating and killed him just makes me wanna cry. 😢
It's awful
It's fucking heart breaking.
So unbelievably sad and evil!
And he had autism. I have 3 grown autistic children, and I can’t imagine harming a hair on their heads. I ❤️ spending time with them. The fact that his mother would want to be rid of him (or ANY of her children) is heartbreaking.
Especially since he was autistic. Probably one of the only person he had to talk to
“I didn’t want another one to die in the house”. How considerate of you Rachel.
Her voice was so chilling when she said that. If pure evil has a voice, then that's it.
What a pair of absolute weirdos
When she was saying it gave her bad feelings and dreams etc i thought good, i hope they terrified her and i can imagine her mind must've have been scared the spirits were haunting her, i hope they continue to do so in their jail cells for the rest of their lives, i hope they visit every night👻
not considerate lol...it was creeping HER out..once again, all about her smh
And at around @20:12, the way she was explaining "why" she killed sean, her autistic son. So freakin heartbreaking. And the cop said, "...so he was just a constant bother, huh?" And diane paused, and then said, "more than a bother..."
Like...DUDE...what a horrendous person.
She was explaining how he would hover over her while she was trying to work and stuff...and it makes my heart break picturing him, full of innocence, watching his mama work, not knowing what was coming to him. 😔😣 there are truly evil people in this world.
This is one of the craziest cases I've heard. Two mousey church women literally killing their family slowly and painfully....
@Dani Al especially the trump supporting ones. lol
@@truth4004 wtf does the ex president have to do with anything? No crazy bible thumpers support Biden?
@@truth4004 rent free 24/7
@@OhHesCracked He will always hold the title "President Trump" like every other president before him. Even current sitting presidents refer to their predecessors as "President". Even reporters refer to former presidents as "President" when addressing them. There's no need to say "former" or "ex". It's a courtesy so anyone go right ahead. President Trump!💓😊 LGB!
Blame the individuals and nothing else, screw your narratives
I can NOT believe how calm she was telling the detective she poisoned her family!! 😳
So true. Literal definition of a psychopath
When my son was older and still living at home I still couldn’t sleep until I heard his car in the driveway How do you get to a point that you want to kill your child If you don’t want them at home throw them out I couldn’t imagine taking a life especially my child What a sick woman!!!!! RIP to Mike and her son Sad story
Psycopathy & religious fundamentalism born in the hills of Appalachia.
As someone who is autistic, my heart broke when that poor boy’s mom murdered him because he was grieving in a way she didn’t like. Of course he was clingy! He just lost his dad and all he wanted to do was spend time with her. This hits me hard.
Same here. Some people should not have children.
His death was planned before the father was even killed. So it wasnt his grieving.
my mom was so overbearing as a teen but I appreciate her so much for it now, the fact that a mom finds her children annoying and kills them wtf 😭
@@jessup3599 Regardless, he just wanted to spend time with her. I can see why she'd be annoyed, but killing him? That's horrible.
We need a superhero to save our autistic brethren from people and family members like these. Captain Autismo perhaps?
It’s sad to think that Mike will never, ever run out of content. And while I love his work murder is a never ending, repeated behavior amongst humans across all walks of life. Very sad.
💯👍
I’m starting to see more comments like this one. I watch a lot of child predator catching videos and it’s like suddenly everyone realizes yea it’s entertainment but it’s also an indication that nobody is “learning” from seeing people go to jail, nobody is learning from seeing people publicly humiliated for trying to meet and have sex with the underaged /kids.
Amen
But at the same time, death is a natural part of life. We all die and yet it is usually portrayed as tragic and unexpected, and that no one deserves to die. Like it's a punishment. That's delusional and a bit egotistical. We all die, we all deserve it.
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n yeaaaaaa we aren’t talking death we are talking murders.
Diane: “he would throw things at the kids”
Also Diane: murders own child and tries to murder another one
She never truly cared about them. It was all about her and her favorite child.
Diane "I poisoned my loved ones so I'd get to watch the pain and suffering and master the dosage for my future vics."
A tad hypocritical for sure.
That’s what I thought too😅
How easy she forgets
His dad had just died, of course he “wouldn’t leave you alone.” He was sad and you’re his mother. He probably assumed you were sad too and wanted to be there for you and you killed him for being a person. I’m about to have my first baby and the mama bear feeling is scary and strong. I don’t understand how one could kill a kid like that. We are supposed to want to protect them. Some people.
For sociopaths normal affectionate feelings are alien. She probably saw her son's sadness and sympathy as annoyance. Utterly horrific.
My mom used to teach kids with special needs. Unfortunately when you see kids with autism a lot of the time their parents are just horrible. Fed up with them and all. Many kids with special needs are mistreated by their family. It's really sad.
@@J_Lynn That’s really sad but on some level I can almost understand. It would be constant and you would know that it would be for the rest of your life. They can be loud and destructive and even violent in many cases. At some point I’m sure the family would get burned out…they would be on their last straw…every second of every day. I’m sure many of them would suffer chronic depression.
Some people can have disabled children and handle it amazingly and still be happy. Others…do it because they don’t have a choice and it eventually takes it’s toll. Everyone has different thresholds of tolerance and not all special needs people are the same either. Some are more challenging.
Sadly she and her husband were not a good genetic mix - all their kids were plainly afflicted with various degrees of mental and physical handicap, which inevitably made them dependent into adulthood. She shouldn't have had children, full stop - she clearly wasn't the maternal type! And she had even less love or patience for vulnerable children who in practical terms could never grow up and become independent. A tragic case all round.
@@J_Lynn I have son with autism I love him with all my heart yes their hard days but I would never hurt him or his feelings never treat my child my heart bad. All my boys are my heart to see them hurt is to see me hurt. I could never understand what this lady did to her family.
Her daughter was clinging to life in the ER and she had the nerve to say that she was "difficult"....wow.
LOL. So, you would be ok with her lying and saying what a wonderful child she is, she's makes her complete, that she won't be able to go on if anything happens?
@@mas5867 Um... pretty sure that's a yes? Why ask dumb questions when you already know the answer?
@@mas5867 bringing up the character of the child was completely irrelevant to the child hanging on to life in the ICU.
So for her to be honest vs outright lying (my comment reeked of sarcasm) is worse in your pea brain minds?
Women's emotions are the bane of civilization.
@@mas5867 they are as bad as the male serial killers...
Just a little FYI. I had a Rottweiler, I was working in the garage one day and heard my dog drinking something. She got into a bucket of antifreeze. I called the vet and explained what happened, I didn't have any money and it was on a Sunday so most vets were closed and all liquor stores were closed. The vet told me I better find some Vodka because that's the antidote for antifreeze. In Ohio they sell diluted liquor everywhere and I was able to talk a woman into selling me a bottle. So first I dumped the Vodka down her throat and then peroxide to make her vomit because that's what the vet said. My dog got very drunk and passed out but was absolutely fine. So if your dog gets into antifreeze, you can save it's life with Vodka if you don't wait too long. I hope you don't need to do this but it really does work. You're welcome.
Thanks 🙏....that is really appreciated ...and good to know ..
@@jamesbryon8257 you're very welcome.
Ugh that had to be so awful! Glad your baby is ok!
It’s true! Ethanol is the antidote to antifreeze. Glad your fur baby is ok 💕
Wow

Mike is a legend. Somehow even with a serious topic he creates videos and he always makes them fun, informative and somehow never seems to take away from the seriousness of the topics. We don't deserve Mike, but I'll have a goooo anytime.
Rachel saying "Sarah was equally unneeded..." Was extremely chilling and horrifying
Pretty sure, in the same way that she had just said that Shaun didn't "need" to be killed - they could have found assisted living for him, she's saying that Sarah's murder was also "unneeded", as she immediately follows that with: "we could have found some other place for her". I think she's just trying to push more blame on her mom to take it off herself, I don't think she's telling the truth, but just saying, in that moment I'm pretty sure she's not saying that Sarah herself was "unneeded" so they just got rid of her.
Exactly why more and more us men are walking away from getting married and even having sex anymore. I have seen so much evil from fellow human beings, The level of using another human being just to feel whole is quite sad. So many humans kill one another for pathetic reasons. I am not a pessimist more hopeful type, but each day the madness in the western societies has really got me cynical.
i think she was saying that [killing] sarah was equally unneeded [as killing shaun was].. seems like she really only wanted to kill her dad.
@Muhammad Ali Taking a pass on marriage and kids is financially prudent. But giving up on sex sounds like something someone says when they can't get any to begin with.
And those two decided who was unneeded, omg monsters in meek bodies and demeanor.
