The "she wanted to have sx and I said no"....the "she was disgusted because she gained so much weight", "she wanted a $35k ring but I said $15k", "she drank and smoked weed" reeks of his own disdain for her. The snarky tone after he speaks on what happens. He clearly thinks he is better or above her. I definitely believe he did it...and he speaks with no remorse or emotional connection..
I know he is Guilty but you cant say someone did something just because he is smiling talking about her death. Some people do this to cope with the trauma that they are thinking about.
As soon as he started to say, "She had gained quite a bit of weight with our daughter. She was at her heaviest and was feeling really disgusting..." he's describing how he felt about her, not how she felt about herself.
Interesting how we process through our own lens. That’s probably the only thing he said I believed because I describe putting on weight as feeling gross. The way things move and touch that didn’t before… Yep. Don’t even like thinking about it. Anyway, you’re probably right was my point.
I just started the video, and heard the fell off a cliff or pushed, I almost decided to watch something else. Unfortunately we see these cases a lot and there really isn't much evidence that isn't circumstantial. There are too many coincidences in these "accidents."
His later facial appearance indicates some kind of serious, ongoing substance abuse to me. Alcohol? Pills? His guilty conscience seems to be eating himself up from the inside out.
He now owns her forever and that was the whole problem … this ugly troll was shocked to find that this beauty was with him at all and he continued to buy that love until he couldn’t any more and then the fall!
If my wife/fiancée died in my presence, suicide or not, I would be crying my eyes out every time I had to recall that moment. Not smirking and talking about how she was suicidal and used drugs. This dude is unbelievable
well that may be you. not all show their emotions on their sleeve. Can't be judging like that. if he started sobbing, you would accuse him of crocodile tears.
Also he tries to use BOTH stories "she slipped" but also "it was possibly suicide". Either one happened or the other, but he's trying to say both are possible to deflect from what really happened.
So funny as soon as I start to read your comment, that scene in the interview happened. I do believe he did it. All these comments about his guilt hit home with me. Who would run on a cliff during the rain? Plus wanting to have sex in the open like that. I believe he wanted sex and she probably said no to him. I'm a prude. Such a liar...........
I'm 45 years old and have been a lawyer for almost 20 years and Steve is one of the most FOS individuals I have ever heard talk. I believe 0% of what he said.
I'm not a lawyer, and I have no idea what FOS is, but I agree. This guy is lying. Without even examining any evidence, I can tell this is a sociopath who is lying through his teeth.
Yeah he’s not even trying to hide his enjoyment of getting to be on TV and try to manipulate everyone again - he’s literally chuckling during the interview. And the idea that anyone would go to prison so their child could get a few hundred thousand bucks is just another ridiculous statement. Guilty as sin.
My internal creep meter bells and whistles go off like crazy while listening to this guy. He utterly disgusts me. His eyes, lip smacking, and his facial expressions are terrifying. I am so Sorry for her family for their incredible loss. This man is atrocious.
Right, I also wouldn’t date or get in a serious relationship with a Republican man with money. No way was he not. This is why Republican men want to get with very young girls who are so naïve and lack self confidence and aren’t known to have so much self respect they speak up confidently in what they want, or pick a foreign girl or woman that are pretty submissive culturally because Republican men to this day have a very precise look great don’t talk very much, do what I say personally that he doesn’t have to keep fighting with a mature American woman that to our core we can not go along with their Bullshyt. Classic traits of Republican American men especially wealthy or richer. Of course he got with the Chinese woman, of coarse.
Especially when he also said that she was attracted to his “intelligence” which was one of his “assets.” Bragging that he was intelligent is super narcissistic and sociopathic.
And the WAY he said it, with a smirk and like it was disgusting or funny. Of course she gained weight, she carried a child (HIS- a monster’s child, unfortunately) for 9 months and hormones are messed up for about a year after that too! He’s awful.
That he realized she was going to be a trashy woman and trap him with a baby and he still wasn't going to marry her? Remember what the mom said? Her daughter "didn't like him, she liked his stuff. The condo, the money." Then the daughter traps him with a baby. Then she accused him of physically fighting her. Remember what else the mother said "you know if someone is lying it's because they are guilty" remember what else she said "she was in a physically abusive relationship, I witnessed the fights" and when asked to describe what she witnessed "I was on the phone with her once, and I, uh, you could hear them fight." Have you ever been in a physical altercation that was so bad that you stopped defending yourself and just started calling people? What else did she say "there's no way she would have done that (self deletion)" and then we find out she was depressed and on mind altering medicine for her depression. So there's a couple lies. She's guilty. She may not have pushed her, but it seems like she knew she was punishing him when she shouldn't. And I bet she accused her of knowing that he was with her little sister and it was her fault for keeping him in their lives and she should have left him instead of trapping him.
This is funny because some of the defense attorneys I know are also some of the most honest especially to their clients. They will tell them as much to their face like hey, there's this much evidence, you may want to reconsider going to trial but are good enough at trial to hold the prosecution's feet to the fire. But yes, that is literally their humor.
Everyone is entitled to a defense, without defense attorneys the law would run roughshod over us all. How about the innocent people who went to prison because of prosecution misconduct? You really want people to get arrested and automatically go to prison?
“She gained quite a bit of weight and felt disgusting, so we came up with a way to help her lose the weight.” As a DV survivor, the way he said that is creepy AF and a dead giveaway.
Yes!! That was his first huge giveaway in my opinion. He was trying to shame her . Then he went on to say about the drugs. Little does he know we see right through the BS. I hope he rots in jail
Prob not the best time to declare that "Chinese women make better wives" when you're trying to convince us Rhonda did this herself🤦♀️. It's that good ole intelligence he has that he was speaking about 😫😩
That really caught me off guard. Like his demeanor, accusations and overall personality was shocking. But I had to rewatch that statement because WTF. this is the best version of himself he was able to conjure up to display for the world. I cannot imagine what he’s like behind closed doors. And the criminal charges/allegations are just the ones people spoke out about. Honestly pure evil. Terrifying. I’m glad his daughter is being protected from him.
I immediately picked up narcissistic, sociopathic, & pathological liar vibes. The fact that he can laugh & not even shed one tear talking about how she died is very telling. This man is evil.
EXACTLY. When he was on the SAME path his fiance died on and he's there with his NEW fiance and has the ARROGANCE to say, "this is the HAPPIEST day of my life" with absolutely NO mention of him being sad about her death or it being bittersweet ... he makes my skin crawl and my blood boil. He SHOULD be in prison.
A 23 yr old doesnt think about a life insurance policy nor would she ask the father of her child to promise to take care of his child. This man is a bold face liar.
For someone that lost the mother of their child, and someone they loved, he seems very pleased. To me he’s relishing in this interview, constantly smiling while talking about the incident.
Not being able to or wanting to explain how she fell was enough for me and his giggles are just so sinister. If him and his lawyer thought this was going to prove his innocence they were sorely mistaken. Yikes!
I always notice the eyes, and his are dead, no emotion or empathy or warmness, If I saw him, I would cross the street or move away from him. If he killed her, he will do it again. Just give him some time. He won’t be able to control his impulses. And rage.
What in the world would his defense attorney pay for his bail? That’s crazy. Damn the guy must really believe him. I don’t though. Too bad he didn’t spend that bail money on a truly innocent man, or woman.
I’ve watched countless programmes like this, but for the first time ever I’m absolutely convinced that this guy is a murderer. His mouth is saying one thing, his eyes say something completely different. Chilling
He's a complete psychopath. The way he portrayed her as a needy drug addict and keeps on smiling throughout the whole interview is so chilling. Put him behind bars for life!
This man clearly did it. He can barely even muster up a decent story, that's how little he cares, and keeps smirking or laughing when talking about events leading up to her death
As soon as he said “ she considered herself disgusting” i knew something was up. Even if she did call herself that the way he reiterates it is a big red flag
I knew he was going to do that as soon as he mentioned the cost of the engagement ring that she wanted.. the slandering starts off slow and minor, then continues to escalate.
He’s in an interview about his partner and mother of his child who supposedly died in a tragic “accident”, and he talks about how Chinese women make better wives than American women (like the deceased). Speechless.
Nobody seems to gave mentioned he was twice Rhonda’s age and that he liked very young girls (Rhonda’s younger sister). Also he said “Chinese women make better wives than American women”. I think what he actually meant was “Chinese women are more traditional and therefore easier to control” and I think that’s why his previous partners were always young - because he wants to control and manipulate his women.
I just did this comment before up there. Not only that the one living in that condo was her, she invited her single daughter there and let her have a no married relationship with him, it seems she was the one pushing for the money.
I like how he mentions she wanted to have sex and he declined. That's the kind of information you definitely won't disclose for someone you care abut since it's inconsequential to the case, unless you are trying to appear "candid" by disclosing ALL information, except it's never one that is embarassing to you. I also find it hard to believe she took her own life minutes after being in the mood for sex.
The details he reveled in like this one were especially gross to listen to. Later in the show he brags about how many women he’s slept with, along with his nonchalant attitude about Rhonda. 100% psychopath in my opinion. It’s terrifying to know this man walks free. The justice system failed on this one.
@Christos; it was probably the other way around - He wanted sex and SHE said no. He was trying to save face and elevate his ego. Your insightful observation of wanting sex then committing suicide is improbable. But then both things are lies anyway. This guy is delusional, he's in an unreal world of his own. Pathological lying is common for narcissists.
He even went back with his Chinese fiance to where RhondA died like wth?? I believe he pushed her went down. To make sure she was dead and when he saw that she was still alive he made sure she was dead before he hiked back up before calling for help he is a very sick and twisted guy he definitely deserves to be alone disgusting
When he said he wouldn't talk about what he saw when she went off the trail that was awful. The look on his face. " I can say I had nothing directly or indirectly to do with her falling." Bullcrap. This guy is weird and he did do something to her.
@@emilymadsen628 That was on account of the advice from his lawyer. The interviewer most likely was told beforehand what his attorney had advised him and his smirk was because he was onto what the interviewer was trying to do sliding in a question he was already told he would not answer and why.
Thank god he doesn’t have his daughter anymore. What a scary creepy man to have as your father. Not to mention all the underage inappropriate goings on he’s had. I feel So sorry for that little girl, loosing her mother and then having a father like that
As soon as he said "she felt quite disgusting," I knew he was guilty. Even if those had been her exact words, you wouldn't repeat them to describe someone you love.
I thought that´s how HE felt about her. He´s saying she felt that about herself and maybe she did but he definitely did as well. Also, the way he says that he has gained weight.
The fact that he smiled and laughed when asked to recall the moment someone passed away in an absolutely horrific way speaks to his guilt. No tears, no sadness, just a disgusting giggle.
If he was able to have a relationship with a minor, for 4 f*ck*ng years! Touched a 13 yo inappropriately, admits them then say "owh.. that part I was totally wrong" was just beyond... Now I fear for his daughter to comeback to his side, imagine how those kinds of creatures define women and cares Nothing whoever they are in his life! So... freaking disgusting. I am hoping to never let his daughter come near him ever again that's just horrible for him to be around.
@@zenasinney477 I thought there wasn't a time limit on convicting pedophiles. Why don't they arrest him for that. Why didn't his mom have him arrested? I bet she wish she had now
@@dianabranham7332 I don't know what kind of connections this guy have, but we know this is not yet the end of the story, he's not going to be the one who will have a happy ending here. God will never allow that.
Wow he really takes every opportunity to slander and smear her character. Refuses to take any accountability. Laughs as he talks about her death. This is one of the most disturbing interviews I've watched. I have no doubt he did it.
This guy is off the bat completely guilty. She was running from you because you were trying to strangle her, then you caught up to her and pushed her off. You told it all in your story, Sir.
What a bs story. She wanted to get back into modeling, she apparently wanted to go hiking to lose some weight.. but then he indicates she was suicidal and indicates she believed she wasn't gonna live past 25. Bs. Why would she bother trying to lose weight if she wanted to be dead. Very conflicting. He killed her
In the interview, Steve seemed disengaged, while talking about the accident. Then, he became elusive. Then, he became giddy, and almost gleefully playful when he alluded to her stepping off of the cliff of her own accord. Wow.
He also looked away from the interviewer when he said, "I had absolutely nothing to do", but yet kept eye contact with the rest of his statement. That was very telling.
@@TheMakeupChair He was struggling to contain his duping delight. He awkwardly laughs again at 19:22. Imo, he is thinking about the moment of her death, while trying to lie to the interviewer about how it happened. He is so scary to me.
Yes. The way he smiles whenever he tell the stories of how his fiance fall? Makes it so obvious of how proud he was of what he did to her. And everytime he does that, he's looking more and more stup*d in my eyes. So..... Disgusting!
@@bobgillis1137 Also many people think that there;s still reasonable doubt but I don't think those people are right in the head. This guy should not be roaming free in society, end of.
Him trying to defame her by saying she was on heroin and everything known to man says it all. Someone reliving a nightmare such as losing a loved one in front of your eyes only talks about them in a loving way. He keeps laughing too what an evil sicko.
I find it odd that CBS did not attempt to follow up on his claim that she did all kinds of drugs. Maybe there were no drugs other than weed in her body at the time of her death, but if she was using all kinds of drugs including crystal meth and heroin, there must be some record of it somewhere. Did she ever go to the hospital because of an OD? Was she in drug rehab? Why didn't they ask the mother or friend to comment? If they did, did they not like the answer and decide not to run with it?
One of the sickest sociopaths I’ve ever witnessed. Every time he was asked about her fall/death, he laughed or smirked. He even basically acknowledged killing her at the end. Wow, my heart goes out to her family.
But my god, why would she stay with the guy? I mean, she had everything to offer a guy much like herself. I mean I only had to watch about two minutes and it's pretty obvious he killed her. The guy is just "off", there is something wrong with him. He is like too deadpan, like a psychopath. Poor little gal, so many women stick too long with bad men. I mean, if a man ever hurts you on purpose, just once, that is more than enough, you know what he is, get out. No matter what, be gone. OK, I finished watching it, I knew it, guy is Satan in the Flesh.
When he said, she gained quite a bit of weight and she felt disgusting. That's not her words. Those are his. He's a sociopath and a narcissist. He definitely did it.
It is almost hysterical how little this dude tries to not seem guilty. The way he talks about her being “attracted to his intelligence” just screams narcissistic personality disorder. And the way he talked about her baby weight!
Not to mention he’s ugly and should have felt so lucky to have Ronda bless his life, then he fools around with her sister, attacks her character when she’s dead and snickers when talking about the life insurance. Clearly guilty
Yes! And she still looked small after the baby! I was thinking "baby weight", what weight. That evil man shouldn't have even been in her angelic presence.
Unbelievable how a dude that looks like he does would have the nerve to critique her figure.. she was wayyy out of his league in the looks department! You would think he would feel incredibly lucky to be with a girl of her caliber, and I somehow doubt there are many pretty women in line tryna date him. Poor girl.
I had nothing to do with rhonda castros’s death…..sounds so business like, i thought he loved her…now she is just rhonda casto……however, there is not enough evidence to convict him in my opinion…unfortunately
No one, who is innocent, let alone in their right mind, would snicker when he did. Rejecting to answer logical questions, is a tell all. Disgusting. One day he will get what he deserves. Rest in peace Rhonda.
An innocent man might refuse to answer questions due to directions from a lawyer,but the laughing was incredibly creepy. Also....who tf takes his fiancee on a hike to the place where he is accused of killing his wife?!!
After my brother died from a car accident I couldn’t go on that highway for a long time and still prefer not to, but for this man to take his fiancé so nonchalantly on this dangerous trail where his girlfriend lost her life is unbelievable. I’m so glad his fiancé/ girlfriend left with her life intact.
I agree, and I'm sorry for your loss. I know this is going to come across as harsh, but as far as I'm concerned, this speaks volumes about the fiance as well. Any woman with self respect wouldn't want to relive that with him. "Oh yeah, this is where she "jumped", let me get a video of you smiling here." Just my opinion, but she looks like the "elevator doesn't go all the way to the top". And narcissists like this guy pursue women like this. To use the words of Lenin, "Useful idiots".
@@oldhickory4686 Thank you so much. Yes I felt the same way that the woman especially while laughing for the camera on that hideous trail had to have a serious problem. But at least somewhere along the way she realized she was with a deranged man or else he got bored and sent her to her homeland. The number of psychopaths/sociopaths today is very scary and I pray this man never got his daughter back.
@@janicescott7338 I lost my brother in 92, so I can empathise completely. My gut feeling is with the language barrier, he never disclosed all the details. But once she realized the full situation he was in, even she was probably like, "I'm going back." I get comments from women on YT where they say their job isn't to raise their kids, it's just to help them into whatever path they choose. As far as I'm concerned this is one way to create a pyschopath. Because guess what road kids choose. Me, myself, and I!
@@oldhickory4686 Exactly! And thank you. Sorry for your loss too. I was thinking she may not of known English at all when she met him. No way she would of gone on that deadly trail hike all happy if she was in her right mind or knew the details unless he had her completely manipulated. It’s really shocking how these kind of people can manipulate their victim’s because right away we could see he is a perp. And some of the bazaar things he said at the end insinuating he could of put her out of her misery. Those are real words of wisdom about bringing children up correctly! In our society it’s all about materialism and buying them off!
@@janicescott7338 I believe most narcissists have masks to put on when dealing with people to disguise their true nature. I noticed two times where the interviewer told him to look him in the eye. And later as you mentioned, when he told that story; implying he killed her. He is one of the few that has never learned, or despises to use the mask. It's fascinating to watch.
The way this man laughed just proves how devious and diabolical he is. He definitely killed her. She had her life taken from a man that never deserved her
This guy is literally one of the weirdest people I have ever seen, I cannot imagine anyone wanting to spend more than 10 seconds w/him, let alone a lifetime. I feel sorry for his daughter, she is never going to have a normal life.
Hello, how are you doing today, hope you are having a beautiful day? I stopped at your profile because you bear the ssame name with a good friend of mine! I was wondering if I could say Hi ? Stay safe always and best wishes
He has been insinuating all kinds of things throughout this,about the mother of his beautiful child.. he has shown nothing remotely resembling anything close to emotion
He pushed her and then went to finish what he started. And he loved what he did. You can see it by how he talks, smiles, and laughs about it. What a disgusting human being. I hope he never gets his daughter back and that no other girl falls into his trap.
Who in their right mind would run on a trail like that? No way she did that. The whole interview ...he is so calm and shows no emotion except smiling and laughing.
Yeah, no way she did that. No woman is going to run down that trail like that! And he's laughing about it all. Every time he speaks about her and her death he laughs. He put her out if her misery?? Wow he just admitted it.
Interviewer: "Tell me about the fall." Psychopathic interviewee: (laughs and smirks), "That part I'm not going to tell you about." The satisfactions and glee in his facial expression is chilling.
Why did he have to add that about the engagement ring? Making her look like it’s all about money is rude and unnecessary. Oh I’m sure this “weight loss” adventure sounds like a weird convenient way to lose the baby weight. It’s a convenient way to explain away her death. What happened to the good ol gym? Her intuition told Rhonda that she might not come out alive on one of the hikes. Wish she’d have listened to her gut! That’s no joke to make! He’s a cold fish to be sure! Whoa! $1,000,000 insurance policy proves a great motive!
'she wanted to have sex i said no' 'giggles like a child' he's creepy why would you tell that on national tv/youtube or whatever outlet. the disrespect whether it's true or not, ugh disgusting
She wanted it for his money not his looks or personality she was looking to climb the social ladder and used her looks for it. Dude should not have married her, u dont buy the cow when u can get the milk for free
If what he is saying is true maybe she had a gut feeling something was going to happen and maybe she thought if he slept with her he might have second thoughts about what he was going to do?
@LibrasReact That could be possible too. He's a psychopath in my opinion, bringing his Chinese lady to the place where the mother of his child fell, and said it was the happiest time of his life??? Even if what he said was an accident, wouldn't he feel emotional and traumatized everytime he goes there?
The best way to get the truth out of a narcissistic sociopath is to let them talk. When they know you don't believe them they talk more because they want to be believed so badly that they tell on themselves in the process.
um, not always I wish that were a reliable method problem is they're habitual liars and they will "rope a dope" uh huh and exasperate detectives. May, I direct you to some Casey Anthoney interviews?
The only time he cried or seemed sad at all was when he talked about himself being alone all the time now. Every time he talked about Rhonda he smiled and laughed. Horrific.
This may be the best illustration of a manipulative malignant narcissist/sociopath I've ever seen. I believe this is what Hannah Arendt meant when she coined the phrase "banality of evil."
For real the character assassination of his dead wife is disgusting and the way he tries to manipulate her image. Mentioning her saying she used to smoke weed and vodka up on the trail practically clutching his pearls. Saying how she wanted to have sex with her own husband while hiking and how he had to be "prim and proper" and say no. It's really grotesque. Just the constant jabs at her is so so telling.
Think he's the father of Rhonda's little girl who already died so young and he continues to defame Rhonda without a shred of respect!! Infamous psychopathic killer!!
Oh my god this guy is a pos but it's so tiresome how everyone throws around the words narcissistic and sociopath on the internet. I thought it was just a reddit thing.
@@kentuky1233oh yeah. Isn't it interesting how suddenly all ex boyfriends are narcissists? Don't like somebody? It's not you. It's them, because they're narcissists. Somebody disagrees with you? It's not you. You're completely rational, but they're a sociopath... the sudden uptick in the amount of mental health professionals is amazing... I think it's a direct result of people never being told no, never having to face consequences, and always being told they're perfect in every way. As soon as something doesn't go their way they assume the other person involved must have some serious mental affliction, because it can't possibly be any fault of their own. They're perfect in every way.
This dude shouldn’t speak. His lies and narcissism is so glaringly obvious. The fact he was even offered a plea makes me physically ill. Our system is broken. And I’m so sorry for Rhonda’s family, her little sister and his daughter for what he did to them, destroyed them. They walk among us. 😣
I'll bet, if he seems that the trial isn't going his way, he'll insist on taking the stand (which is his right anyway, but is usually strongly discouraged by the defense attorney). We'll see...I'm only ~1/3 of the way into the vid.
It's too bad her little sister had to go and hurt her too, I had 2 teachers and a few of my fathers friends try to sleep with me at 13 years old. I said NO!!! She knew what she was doing. Rhonda was a great sister to forgive her
Don´t forget the mom was the one living in the condo and invited her single daughter to go there and then let her have a no married relationship with this man, the one interested in money was her mom. Someone says up there she also tried to get social security money intended to be for her grand daughter
I absolutely can not see what any woman sees in him. The defense lawyer should be ashamed of himself for not only defending him but for exploiting animals.
Exactly!! He is guilty asf he never answered any questions in the years before until now, he prepped himself well supposedly smh with that SMIRK ON HIS FACE
as soon as I heard him say “she FELT disgusting”, him explaining that they signed up for $1 MILLION life insurance, him smirking and laughing when asked about how it all happened, etc … I knew that he did it around 20 minutes in.. maybe even earlier 🤦🏾♀️ people are so sick but I hope that her family finds peace and that her daughter finds the love that she deserves. may rhond rest in peace.
Agreed. I wish someone would put him out of HIS misery! Who in the world would hike all the way down to the bottom of the canyon to find her and then "put her out of her misery"???? He was just trying to FINISH HER OFF! Ugggh what a creepo Please god let this guy get what's coming to him.
And he must be SO smug now for hoodwinking even the public! What an danger walking amongst us.. And he is such a narc. Feeling sorry for himself and feeling alone. Many are alone but dealing with it instead of using it for his own attention..it's chilling how he is trying to recreate a story of putting her out of her misery..
The fact that he hiked the same trail where she died and smiled how it's the happiest day of his life is DESPICABLE. If his story was actually true, he would be devastated and in therapy. This is his child's mother. 😡
He wouldn't even go back there ever again unless to memorialize and even then anyone with any resemblance of a heart wouldn't bring a new partner there let alone smiling as if nothing happened...despicable
Despicable? OK fine but thats just a word. You are just labeling and judging a behavior. What's the point of that? Honestly. Does it do something for you, making you feel better than a murderer for not being a murderer? Feels so negative. Do u ever comment on people's ideas that have a positive impact on your life or u just looking for negativity to swim around in? Ty for your consideration have a wonderful day.
@@ShieIds I thought the exact same thing, that comment has the same weird emotional manipulation as the guy in the interview, it would be pretty weird to be trolling the comment section in a video about you but he strikes me as the sort of person who would do that so who knows.
The part where he said "next question" when asked what he saw when she fell, I said to myself " this guy is a piece of work." He had a sort of smirk on his face, and that tells me she didn't "fall" without help, meaning he pushed her.
i think he had a smirk because there's more to the story... just think, guys as arrogant as him tend to be decent liars, so he wouldn't let it out that easily. On the other hand, guys as arrogant as him tend to be awful at avoiding opportunities to feel smarter than others. My guess is they probably had a small fight or something which turned into a shoving match near the cliff.
I am VERY sorry this happened to her. Ladies, do NOT let a creep into your life because of material wealth. The price you pay may be your life. RIP Rhonda.
Yeap that’s how he is getting these young girls I always tell our daughters date within your age range..20 year old girls should not be dating controlling 30 plus year old me
Wow 100% guilty. He gives me the creeps. Even the interviewer can see right through him. Unbelievable case, got away with it. Feel so sorry for Rhonda’s family 😢
His smiling, smirking, laughing and smugness throughout are what I'd call "duper's delight." He's immensely enjoying spinning the story, and seeing the reactions he's getting, as well as what he deems as having convinced/gotten away with something. Diabolical and horrifying.

The "she wanted to have sx and I said no"....the "she was disgusted because she gained so much weight", "she wanted a $35k ring but I said $15k", "she drank and smoked weed" reeks of his own disdain for her. The snarky tone after he speaks on what happens. He clearly thinks he is better or above her. I definitely believe he did it...and he speaks with no remorse or emotional connection..

The fact that he’s laughing and smiling every time he talks about her death
A million dollars 💸 smile!
And her own sister!
Yep! At first I was asking what his motives where, they the million dollar life insurance came up answering all my questions

He’s laughing and smiling while talking about her death. He makes Scott Peterson look like an angel.
He is Psychopath, he's guilty.
I know he is Guilty but you cant say someone did something just because he is smiling talking about her death. Some people do this to cope with the trauma that they are thinking about.
Scott Peterson's wife's limbs were separated from her body. If he did if, he is no angel.
Its called dupers delight and he cant control it. Except he is duping no one. He is a murderer.
@@Sabrina-vu9mvthat was because of her body decaying in the water while being anchored down. he didn’t dismember her
As soon as he started to say, "She had gained quite a bit of weight with our daughter. She was at her heaviest and was feeling really disgusting..." he's describing how he felt about her, not how she felt about herself.
Absolutely!
Interesting how we process through our own lens. That’s probably the only thing he said I believed because I describe putting on weight as feeling gross. The way things move and touch that didn’t before… Yep. Don’t even like thinking about it. Anyway, you’re probably right was my point.
I rewound that, because I needed to confirm what I had heard. So, I completely agree.
Exactly. This is so sad. This guy is sick.
He probably did think that but, she probably did too. I felt the same way as do a lot of moms after giving birth. So, I do believe that part.
This is the first time I’ve ever watched an episode where I absolutely did not believe a single word the suspect said. At all. He did it, 100 percent.
The WORST most obvious liar I have ever seen on these agree!

@@eviehammond9509 oh it gets so much worse when you google this guy. 🤢 he was apparently going on with her 16 year old sister too.
Maybe, but where is your proof? If you were on the jury would you have voted "guilty"? If so, what would have been your proof?
I just started the video, and heard the fell off a cliff or pushed, I almost decided to watch something else. Unfortunately we see these cases a lot and there really isn't much evidence that isn't circumstantial. There are too many coincidences in these "accidents."
He did it 100%. He’s frightening, and loving the attention of being interviewed.

classic psihopat.yes,very dangerous one!_i imagine his face when he is mad ;)

His later facial appearance indicates some kind of serious, ongoing substance abuse to me. Alcohol? Pills? His guilty conscience seems to be eating himself up from the inside out.
He's incredibly disgusting. Words, expressions, smirking, laughter, arrogance... simply revolting.

Dupers delight.
If my wife/fiancée died in my presence, suicide or not, I would be crying my eyes out every time I had to recall that moment. Not smirking and talking about how she was suicidal and used drugs. This dude is unbelievable

He's all "I'm too prim and proper for that" yeahhh okay buddy!!!!
😂
Also he tries to use BOTH stories "she slipped" but also "it was possibly suicide". Either one happened or the other, but he's trying to say both are possible to deflect from what really happened.
She was smart and beautiful what did she see in him.
His chuckle when asked about her fall was downright chilling and disgusting.

So funny as soon as I start to read your comment, that scene in the interview happened. I do believe he did it. All these comments about his guilt hit home with me. Who would run on a cliff during the rain? Plus wanting to have sex in the open like that. I believe he wanted sex and she probably said no to him. I'm a prude. Such a liar...........
I'm 45 years old and have been a lawyer for almost 20 years and Steve is one of the most FOS individuals I have ever heard talk. I believe 0% of what he said.

And the idea that anyone would go to prison so their child could get a few hundred thousand bucks is just another ridiculous statement.
Guilty as sin.
My internal creep meter bells and whistles go off like crazy while listening to this guy. He utterly disgusts me. His eyes, lip smacking, and his facial expressions are terrifying. I am so Sorry for her family for their incredible loss. This man is atrocious.
One minute she slipped, then she jumped. Anything to deflect attention from himself.
Took the words out of my mouth hes so obviously lying
His blink rate goes up, and he wrinkles his forehead, suggesting he's seeking support for his story every time he says something.
Major Creep! She was out of his league, such a sad story.
Yeah, mine broke.
I need to run out and get a new one before the next psycho jump out, from the bushes.
Him taking his new wife hiking to the same spot he killed his ex wife is the most bizarre, narcissistic, evil, psychotic thing I've ever seen 😳

This guys was beyond creepy. And he is the classic definition of a narcissist, sociopath. My heart truly hurts for his daughter. 😢
You expressed that brilliantly. 👏🏻👍
Right, I also wouldn’t date or get in a serious relationship with a Republican man with money. No way was he not.
This is why Republican men want to get with very young girls who are so naïve and lack self confidence and aren’t known to have so much self respect they speak up confidently in what they want, or pick a foreign girl or woman that are pretty submissive culturally because Republican men to this day have a very precise look great don’t talk very much, do what I say personally that he doesn’t have to keep fighting with a mature American woman that to our core we can not go along with their Bullshyt. Classic traits of Republican American men especially wealthy or richer. Of course he got with the Chinese woman, of coarse.
Exactly what I thought
he sure is.....
Totally agree--don't know if he killed her, but he sure looks capable of it. He is quite a piece of work!!
Quite possibly the most disturbing interview ever. I don't know how Peter worked through it ...I have the chills.
Ratings. They gave him the camera time he craved for ratings.
How his eyes arent rolled all the way back, permanently... it's a feat
Same, I’m disgusted 🤮 about the she wanted to have sex out there and he said “I’m prim and proper” oh it creeped me out. He’s gross.
The fact he talks about her gaining weight and goes for her little sister tells me everything I need to know about his character.
Exactly correct! What a monster 👿
Exactly ... She didn't think she was disgusting ... He did.
Especially when he also said that she was attracted to his “intelligence” which was one of his “assets.” Bragging that he was intelligent is super narcissistic and sociopathic.
And the WAY he said it, with a smirk and like it was disgusting or funny. Of course she gained weight, she carried a child (HIS- a monster’s child, unfortunately) for 9 months and hormones are messed up for about a year after that too! He’s awful.
That he realized she was going to be a trashy woman and trap him with a baby and he still wasn't going to marry her? Remember what the mom said? Her daughter "didn't like him, she liked his stuff. The condo, the money." Then the daughter traps him with a baby. Then she accused him of physically fighting her.
Remember what else the mother said "you know if someone is lying it's because they are guilty" remember what else she said "she was in a physically abusive relationship, I witnessed the fights" and when asked to describe what she witnessed "I was on the phone with her once, and I, uh, you could hear them fight." Have you ever been in a physical altercation that was so bad that you stopped defending yourself and just started calling people?
What else did she say "there's no way she would have done that (self deletion)" and then we find out she was depressed and on mind altering medicine for her depression. So there's a couple lies. She's guilty. She may not have pushed her, but it seems like she knew she was punishing him when she shouldn't. And I bet she accused her of knowing that he was with her little sister and it was her fault for keeping him in their lives and she should have left him instead of trapping him.
That trail looks just plain dangerous. It shouldn't be open to public
This is why I could never be a defense lawyer.
"Sorry judge, my client is guilty af."
😆🙌😆🙌😆 This comment is GOLDEN!!!
It isn't the defense's job to prove innocence (that's presumed until proven guilty), just to show that the prosecution didn't prove their case.
This is funny because some of the defense attorneys I know are also some of the most honest especially to their clients. They will tell them as much to their face like hey, there's this much evidence, you may want to reconsider going to trial but are good enough at trial to hold the prosecution's feet to the fire. But yes, that is literally their humor.
😂😂😂 me with every defense lawyer standing behind guilty mfs around the world… YOU TOOK THE WORDS FROM MY MOUTH. 😅
Everyone is entitled to a defense, without defense attorneys the law would run roughshod over us all. How about the innocent people who went to prison because of prosecution misconduct? You really want people to get arrested and automatically go to prison?
“She gained quite a bit of weight and felt disgusting, so we came up with a way to help her lose the weight.” As a DV survivor, the way he said that is creepy AF and a dead giveaway.
It was like his last ditch effort to insult her. He's repulsive.

He thinks he's smart but he's really not. He just has a big ego, that not the same. That dude is dangerous.

That really caught me off guard. Like his demeanor, accusations and overall personality was shocking. But I had to rewatch that statement because WTF. this is the best version of himself he was able to conjure up to display for the world. I cannot imagine what he’s like behind closed doors. And the criminal charges/allegations are just the ones people spoke out about. Honestly pure evil. Terrifying. I’m glad his daughter is being protected from him.
I thought that spoke volumes of his character when he said that.
That prosecutor lady should be ashamed of herself that she didn't even inform the family she was seeking a plea deal.

Only half way thru this & I agree with you! He did it.
i think its edited that part he said "either i pushed her.... prob they asked how could she have died. this is why you should never give an interview.
For someone that lost the mother of their child, and someone they loved, he seems very pleased. To me he’s relishing in this interview, constantly smiling while talking about the incident.
Dupers Delight?
Truth Hurts..That was astonishing to watch!😱🤯
Absolutely
You expressed that brilliantly. 👏🏻👍
The term for the smirking when talking about Rhonda’s death is called “Duper’s Delight”!!😢
Not being able to or wanting to explain how she fell was enough for me and his giggles are just so sinister. If him and his lawyer thought this was going to prove his innocence they were sorely mistaken. Yikes!
In the end, he gets off. No justice!!
Absolutely. He laughed when a normal emotionally healthy person would have cried. It was very unnerving.
Exactly!!!! And when he was asked how she fell...whether her feet went in front of her......He didn't want to answer that question.
I always notice the eyes, and his are dead, no emotion or empathy or warmness, If I saw him, I would cross the street or move away from him. If he killed her, he will do it again. Just give him some time. He won’t be able to control his impulses. And rage.
What in the world would his defense attorney pay for his bail? That’s crazy. Damn the guy must really believe him. I don’t though. Too bad he didn’t spend that bail money on a truly innocent man, or woman.
'She fell down the trail.' The coldness in his eyes and dissociation is as clear as day.
I’ve watched countless programmes like this, but for the first time ever I’m absolutely convinced that this guy is a murderer. His mouth is saying one thing, his eyes say something completely different. Chilling
It’s all in his eyes.
I could see it in his eyes too, exactly what I was thinking
Yes! So creepy dude.
He also literally laughs at questions about her death. Like wtf

He's a complete psychopath. The way he portrayed her as a needy drug addict and keeps on smiling throughout the whole interview is so chilling. Put him behind bars for life!

Nobody seems to gave mentioned he was twice Rhonda’s age and that he liked very young girls (Rhonda’s younger sister). Also he said “Chinese women make better wives than American women”. I think what he actually meant was “Chinese women are more traditional and therefore easier to control” and I think that’s why his previous partners were always young - because he wants to control and manipulate his women.

That's the kind of information you definitely won't disclose for someone you care abut since it's inconsequential to the case, unless you are trying to appear "candid" by disclosing ALL information, except it's never one that is embarassing to you.
I also find it hard to believe she took her own life minutes after being in the mood for sex.
The details he reveled in like this one were especially gross to listen to. Later in the show he brags about how many women he’s slept with, along with his nonchalant attitude about Rhonda. 100% psychopath in my opinion. It’s terrifying to know this man walks free.

@@JRB09990 Yes, some DO get away from justice, an inevitability of the "innocent till proven guilty" rule.

@Christos; it was probably the other way around - He wanted sex and SHE said no. He was trying to save face and elevate his ego.
Your insightful observation of wanting sex then committing suicide is improbable. But then both things are lies anyway. This guy is delusional, he's in an unreal world of his own. Pathological lying is common for narcissists.
Yeah that’s a lie no man turns down sex from a pretty woman
He said no because he is too "prim and proper."
He pushed her!!!! There is no doubt in my mind. Anyone who can retell the story of a loved one's death while laughing and smirking is sick.
He even went back with his Chinese fiance to where RhondA died like wth?? I believe he pushed her went down. To make sure she was dead and when he saw that she was still alive he made sure she was dead before he hiked back up before calling for help he is a very sick and twisted guy he definitely deserves to be alone disgusting
When he said he wouldn't talk about what he saw when she went off the trail that was awful. The look on his face. " I can say I had nothing directly or indirectly to do with her falling." Bullcrap. This guy is weird and he did do something to her.

Exactly!!!! Just like Cal harris did with sweet Michelle.
I find it odd that CBS did not attempt to follow up on his claim that she did all kinds of drugs. Maybe there were no drugs other than weed in her body at the time of her death, but if she was using all kinds of drugs including crystal meth and heroin, there must be some record of it somewhere. Did she ever go to the hospital because of an OD? Was she in drug rehab? Why didn't they ask the mother or friend to comment? If they did, did they not like the answer and decide not to run with it?

It is almost hysterical how little this dude tries to not seem guilty. The way he talks about her being “attracted to his intelligence” just screams narcissistic personality disorder. And the way he talked about her baby weight!
Not to mention he’s ugly and should have felt so lucky to have Ronda bless his life, then he fools around with her sister, attacks her character when she’s dead and snickers when talking about the life insurance. Clearly guilty
Yes, that struck me hard. Who says that?
Yes! And she still looked small after the baby! I was thinking "baby weight", what weight. That evil man shouldn't have even been in her angelic presence.
He's acting so sassy and weirdly happy the entire interview!
The way he said that she was disgusted with her weight says it all. He thought it was disgusting. He is disgusting.
What weight? She's tiny. But in that hiking pic his thighs are huge 😯
Unbelievable how a dude that looks like he does would have the nerve to critique her figure.. she was wayyy out of his league in the looks department! You would think he would feel incredibly lucky to be with a girl of her caliber, and I somehow doubt there are many pretty women in line tryna date him. Poor girl.
When he’s a minus 2 and she’s a 10. The nerve.
I caught that too…he said she felt disgusting……it was odd to say the least.
I had nothing to do with rhonda castros’s death…..sounds so business like, i thought he loved her…now she is just rhonda casto……however, there is not enough evidence to convict him in my opinion…unfortunately
i would rather be surrounded by one hundred bears than ever be within one hundred miles of this man. he is terrifying.
No one, who is innocent, let alone in their right mind, would snicker when he did. Rejecting to answer logical questions, is a tell all. Disgusting. One day he will get what he deserves. Rest in peace Rhonda.
It's called Duper's Delight and he does it several times.
@@justmyopinion6345 I just learned about this on deception detective.
rhonda got what she deserved
It's his lawyer that has forbidden him to say so to avoid that it could be used against him in court. But he sure seems like a psychopath.
An innocent man might refuse to answer questions due to directions from a lawyer,but the laughing was incredibly creepy.
Also....who tf takes his fiancee on a hike to the place where he is accused of killing his wife?!!
After my brother died from a car accident I couldn’t go on that highway for a long time and still prefer not to, but for this man to take his fiancé so nonchalantly on this dangerous trail where his girlfriend lost her life is unbelievable. I’m so glad his fiancé/ girlfriend left with her life intact.
I agree, and I'm sorry for your loss. I know this is going to come across as harsh, but as far as I'm concerned, this speaks volumes about the fiance as well. Any woman with self respect wouldn't want to relive that with him. "Oh yeah, this is where she "jumped", let me get a video of you smiling here." Just my opinion, but she looks like the "elevator doesn't go all the way to the top". And narcissists like this guy pursue women like this. To use the words of Lenin, "Useful idiots".
@@oldhickory4686 Thank you so much. Yes I felt the same way that the woman especially while laughing for the camera on that hideous trail had to have a serious problem. But at least somewhere along the way she realized she was with a deranged man or else he got bored and sent her to her homeland. The number of psychopaths/sociopaths today is very scary and I pray this man never got his daughter back.
@@janicescott7338 I lost my brother in 92, so I can empathise completely. My gut feeling is with the language barrier, he never disclosed all the details. But once she realized the full situation he was in, even she was probably like, "I'm going back." I get comments from women on YT where they say their job isn't to raise their kids, it's just to help them into whatever path they choose. As far as I'm concerned this is one way to create a pyschopath. Because guess what road kids choose. Me, myself, and I!
@@oldhickory4686 Exactly! And thank you. Sorry for your loss too. I was thinking she may not of known English at all when she met him. No way she would of gone on that deadly trail hike all happy if she was in her right mind or knew the details unless he had her completely manipulated. It’s really shocking how these kind of people can manipulate their victim’s because right away we could see he is a perp. And some of the bazaar things he said at the end insinuating he could of put her out of her misery. Those are real words of wisdom about bringing children up correctly! In our society it’s all about materialism and buying them off!
@@janicescott7338 I believe most narcissists have masks to put on when dealing with people to disguise their true nature. I noticed two times where the interviewer told him to look him in the eye. And later as you mentioned, when he told that story; implying he killed her. He is one of the few that has never learned, or despises to use the mask. It's fascinating to watch.
Wow I can’t believe this man isn’t behind bars for the rest of his life.. it’s beyond comprehension.
Smiles whilst talking about her death.
@@Kat.Evangeline14Funny how psychopaths can’t even fake it. Smiling and chuckling….disgusting.
That’s about white!
@Drock 😉
Gotta have evidence even if you know. Too many false imprisonment’s as it is
Anyone that would walk along that trail is nuts!!
That's exactly what I felt. That path is absolutely treacherous, even in good weather. I can't imagine how any sane person would want to walk on it.
The way this man laughed just proves how devious and diabolical he is. He definitely killed her. She had her life taken from a man that never deserved her
Yes and she was waaaay to pretty for him
@@feliciaboston6365 that's what I'm saying like how did ugly crazy sociopath pull her she was beautiful
I agree. That smirk seemed to suggest he was proud of his plans. That is not the natural response that an innocent partner would have.
When he laughed and said she wasn't living past 25😮 omg
Hawt
This guy is literally one of the weirdest people I have ever seen, I cannot imagine anyone wanting to spend more than 10 seconds w/him, let alone a lifetime. I feel sorry for his daughter, she is never going to have a normal life.
Definitely agree with this he's flipping weird af
Hello, how are you doing today, hope you are having a beautiful day? I stopped at your profile because you bear the
ssame name with a good friend of mine! I was wondering if I could say Hi ? Stay safe always and best wishes
Money unfortunately
He has been insinuating all kinds of things throughout this,about the mother of his beautiful child.. he has shown nothing remotely resembling anything close to emotion
He has money, so there are women that will 'love' him.
He pushed her and then went to finish what he started. And he loved what he did. You can see it by how he talks, smiles, and laughs about it. What a disgusting human being. I hope he never gets his daughter back and that no other girl falls into his trap.
Yes and called it a mercy killing ffs
I'm rather surprised any of them fell for him. He's not attractive in any way. He's creepy.
@@lisahughes7377 He finished her off so that nobody would find her while she was still alive.
actual chills when I saw him laugh- horrifying
Shout out to whoever does the music for 48 hours. The beats slap!
This guy is so guilty it’s ridiculous. Someone else commented he is “dangerous”. Well said…no better word to describe him. Lock him up.
Who in their right mind would run on a trail like that? No way she did that.
The whole interview ...he is so calm and shows no emotion except smiling and laughing.
Absolutely, the only way she was running would be to get away from him. What a despicable human being.
Lesley Culbert if she really did fall instead of being pushed, that's the only way I could see the fall happening.
Smiling and laughing=blatant duper's delight, imo.
The only time he cried was at the end when he said he's lonely in his house n doesn't go out n has no one by his side.
Yeah, no way she did that. No woman is going to run down that trail like that! And he's laughing about it all. Every time he speaks about her and her death he laughs. He put her out if her misery?? Wow he just admitted it.
Interviewer: "Tell me about the fall." Psychopathic interviewee: (laughs and smirks), "That part I'm not going to tell you about." The satisfactions and glee in his facial expression is chilling.
Duper's delight
32:13 Peter you are my HERO right here!! As a victim, I wish more people would say it like this❤
Right... Why he the man
The way he smiles when he says she attempted suicide before, shows he's enjoying this attention. Sick!!!!
And who would want to "put their loved one out of their misery," as he says at the end, with no emotion shown then either.
Why did he have to add that about the engagement ring? Making her look like it’s all about money is rude and unnecessary. Oh I’m sure this “weight loss” adventure sounds like a weird convenient way to lose the baby weight. It’s a convenient way to explain away her death. What happened to the good ol gym? Her intuition told Rhonda that she might not come out alive on one of the hikes. Wish she’d have listened to her gut! That’s no joke to make! He’s a cold fish to be sure!
Whoa! $1,000,000 insurance policy proves a great motive!
Yes and when he talks about a single footprint and alludes to the fact she jumped. He's actually giddy. Sicko
He's guilty.
@@avanett1 And he can't look the interviewer in the face at that point. (He often can't look him in the eyes.)
'she wanted to have sex i said no' 'giggles like a child' he's creepy why would you tell that on national tv/youtube or whatever outlet. the disrespect whether it's true or not, ugh disgusting
I don’t believe that she said that, may he was the one who wanted to do it- and his being “prim and proper” self was feeling insulted, and pushed her.
She wanted it for his money not his looks or personality she was looking to climb the social ladder and used her looks for it. Dude should not have married her, u dont buy the cow when u can get the milk for free
He's a liar about EVERYTHING
If what he is saying is true maybe she had a gut feeling something was going to happen and maybe she thought if he slept with her he might have second thoughts about what he was going to do?
@LibrasReact That could be possible too.
He's a psychopath in my opinion, bringing his Chinese lady to the place where the mother of his child fell, and said it was the happiest time of his life??? Even if what he said was an accident, wouldn't he feel emotional and traumatized everytime he goes there?
The best way to get the truth out of a narcissistic sociopath is to let them talk. When they know you don't believe them they talk more because they want to be believed so badly that they tell on themselves in the process.
This is true but this is pointless if the system is broken and doesn’t allow this to matter.
Exactly!!!!!
um, not always I wish that were a reliable method problem is they're habitual liars and they will "rope a dope" uh huh and exasperate detectives. May, I direct you to some Casey Anthoney interviews?
The only time he cried or seemed sad at all was when he talked about himself being alone all the time now. Every time he talked about Rhonda he smiled and laughed. Horrific.
He deserves to be alone
This may be the best illustration of a manipulative malignant narcissist/sociopath I've ever seen. I believe this is what Hannah Arendt meant when she coined the phrase "banality of evil."
For real the character assassination of his dead wife is disgusting and the way he tries to manipulate her image. Mentioning her saying she used to smoke weed and vodka up on the trail practically clutching his pearls. Saying how she wanted to have sex with her own husband while hiking and how he had to be "prim and proper" and say no. It's really grotesque. Just the constant jabs at her is so so telling.
Yeah he even admits to finishing her off after her fall. She wasn’t dead yet and he killed her.
Think he's the father of Rhonda's little girl who already died so young and he continues to defame Rhonda without a shred of respect!! Infamous psychopathic killer!!
Oh my god this guy is a pos but it's so tiresome how everyone throws around the words narcissistic and sociopath on the internet. I thought it was just a reddit thing.
@@kentuky1233oh yeah. Isn't it interesting how suddenly all ex boyfriends are narcissists? Don't like somebody? It's not you. It's them, because they're narcissists. Somebody disagrees with you? It's not you. You're completely rational, but they're a sociopath... the sudden uptick in the amount of mental health professionals is amazing... I think it's a direct result of people never being told no, never having to face consequences, and always being told they're perfect in every way. As soon as something doesn't go their way they assume the other person involved must have some serious mental affliction, because it can't possibly be any fault of their own. They're perfect in every way.
This is exactly how a sociopath would act. The smirks, grinning, and chuckling. Nobody with a shred of empathy would speak and behave this way.
I would about some people if I had the chance but I also would never claim to love those people
This dude shouldn’t speak. His lies and narcissism is so glaringly obvious. The fact he was even offered a plea makes me physically ill. Our system is broken. And I’m so sorry for Rhonda’s family, her little sister and his daughter for what he did to them, destroyed them. They walk among us. 😣
Be careful
Him and Casey Anthony would be a perfect couple
I'll bet, if he seems that the trial isn't going his way, he'll insist on taking the stand (which is his right anyway, but is usually strongly discouraged by the defense attorney). We'll see...I'm only ~1/3 of the way into the vid.
It's too bad her little sister had to go and hurt her too, I had 2 teachers and a few of my fathers friends try to sleep with me at 13 years old. I said NO!!! She knew what she was doing. Rhonda was a great sister to forgive her
Don´t forget the mom was the one living in the condo and invited her single daughter to go there and then let her have a no married relationship with this man, the one interested in money was her mom. Someone says up there she also tried to get social security money intended to be for her grand daughter
I absolutely can not see what any woman sees in him. The defense lawyer should be ashamed of himself for not only defending him but for exploiting animals.
Look at how defensive he is and the anger lurking underneath just when he is corrected on saying "commited suicide".
the5thYearSeniors...Yes.
The mask slipped!😳
I was thinking the same thing!
he gaslights
Editing
Exactly!! He is guilty asf he never answered any questions in the years before until now, he prepped himself well supposedly smh with that SMIRK ON HIS FACE
He pushed her, no doubt about it, then went down to check on her and put her out of her misery… It gives me chills
And first says “she ran way ahead” to make people think he wasn’t even close.
I think he’s innocent 🎉
Yes. If she had survived the fall, she could have testified against him!
@@sirvilhelmofyonderland yes because all men are innocent /s
@@SM-ce1uy you think it’s a gender thing ?
as soon as I heard him say “she FELT disgusting”, him explaining that they signed up for $1 MILLION life insurance, him smirking and laughing when asked about how it all happened, etc … I knew that he did it around 20 minutes in.. maybe even earlier 🤦🏾♀️ people are so sick but I hope that her family finds peace and that her daughter finds the love that she deserves. may rhond rest in peace.
Yeppers! That smirking, smug dupper's delight makes me want to dot his 👀 & come across his 🦷🦷! 🤬
Ironic given he looks like 10 miles of bad road.
Exactly! My thought also when i heard that. You should say "disgusted " definitely a Freudian slip.
He thought she was disgusting.
The disgusting part got me 🤔.
This dude is one of the most blatant liars I’ve ever seen. He can’t even keep a straight face.
OMG how is this guy roaming around freely. The last part about putting someone out of their misery is chilling 😢. He killed Her 🥺
He was later convicted of a sex crime involving a minor.
Agreed. I wish someone would put him out of HIS misery! Who in the world would hike all the way down to the bottom of the canyon to find her and then "put her out of her misery"???? He was just trying to FINISH HER OFF! Ugggh what a creepo Please god let this guy get what's coming to him.
And he must be SO smug now for hoodwinking even the public! What an danger walking amongst us.. And he is such a narc. Feeling sorry for himself and feeling alone. Many are alone but dealing with it instead of using it for his own attention..it's chilling how he is trying to recreate a story of putting her out of her misery..
Oh my dear lord, Steve Nicols is just loving reliving the events of her death, just like a trophy hunter keeps items of victims.
Yes, those almost-smiles are absolutely jarring. This guy makes my skin crawl so bad!
YES 😣, the laughing immediately after being asked how did she die!!! I feel naïve for being surprised over the pedophilia & sodomy cases.
and our system plays into it, and allows it, very sad.
He sat there and actually laughed while talking about her final moment!!
thinking about how he will do it next time
In all my decades of following true crime, Nichols takes the cake with narcissistic sociopathia. It's truly a surreal jaw-drop.
Same here
Since when do ur attorney post bail 😮
The fact that he hiked the same trail where she died and smiled how it's the happiest day of his life is DESPICABLE. If his story was actually true, he would be devastated and in therapy. This is his child's mother. 😡
He wouldn't even go back there ever again unless to memorialize and even then anyone with any resemblance of a heart wouldn't bring a new partner there let alone
smiling as if nothing happened...despicable
Despicable? OK fine but thats just a word. You are just labeling and judging a behavior. What's the point of that? Honestly. Does it do something for you, making you feel better than a murderer for not being a murderer? Feels so negative. Do u ever comment on people's ideas that have a positive impact on your life or u just looking for negativity to swim around in? Ty for your consideration have a wonderful day.
@@makinnewcounts6676 are you the dude in the video?
@@ShieIds johnson bigs i love you man thanks for the solid joke
@@ShieIds I thought the exact same thing, that comment has the same weird emotional manipulation as the guy in the interview, it would be pretty weird to be trolling the comment section in a video about you but he strikes me as the sort of person who would do that so who knows.
The part where he said "next question" when asked what he saw when she fell, I said to myself " this guy is a piece of work." He had a sort of smirk on his face, and that tells me she didn't "fall" without help, meaning he pushed her.
i think he had a smirk because there's more to the story... just think, guys as arrogant as him tend to be decent liars, so he wouldn't let it out that easily. On the other hand, guys as arrogant as him tend to be awful at avoiding opportunities to feel smarter than others. My guess is they probably had a small fight or something which turned into a shoving match near the cliff.
I think he’s pleased with himself that he had a beautiful woman and also ended her life. She’s a trophy for him.
Well, he’s certainly a piece of something…
Imo hes laughing about the questions.
There is no evidence, so its not relevant what you think you see.
I am VERY sorry this happened to her. Ladies, do NOT let a creep into your life because of material wealth. The price you pay may be your life. RIP Rhonda.
Yeap that’s how he is getting these young girls I always tell our daughters date within your age range..20 year old girls should not be dating controlling 30 plus year old me
so glad i scroll down and read your comment... thanks for the advice.
His smile while discussing the moment she went over is chilling.
Wow 100% guilty. He gives me the creeps. Even the interviewer can see right through him. Unbelievable case, got away with it. Feel so sorry for Rhonda’s family 😢
Her name is RHONDA
Yeah the interviewer really got sick of him
At least the courts terminated his parental rights! The baby is safe! ❤
500% if it's ever possible 😢
@@jcallwood25 thank you, don’t know what made me say “Melanie”. Have corrected to Rhonda 😊
"She wanted to have sex. I said no"
That's when I knew he was lying
Me too. That was a fantasy of his.
His smiling, smirking, laughing and smugness throughout are what I'd call "duper's delight." He's immensely enjoying spinning the story, and seeing the reactions he's getting, as well as what he deems as having convinced/gotten away with something. Diabolical and horrifying.
Behavior Panel is awesome
He's a creepy sociopath!
Not relevant what you think. There is NO evidence.
