Ya what was up with that? Some people don't realize when enough is enough. Instead they decide to channel a samurai to take the fall! As a last resort probably not gonna work.
@@PoptartParasol not nuts he is just faking for the insanity defense. Remember he does it once when the prosecutor calls him a liar because he had no injuries from the car accident he lied about. If he was actually insane he would have started the moment the prosecutor started talking about him
He calls an attorney instead of 911 and then doesn't bother to have an attorney with him while he's questioned by police. You always bring us the most interesting cases. Thanks!
Yes, I thought that was really strange. Another felon who thought he could talk his way out of charges- why pay an attorney when you can do a better job speaking for yourself?
And then he confessed straight away anyway. Hope he enjoys the rest of his life and uses that time to think about his evil deeds. Poor poor children. May Allah give them strength to live on and get a good life even though this horrible experience their evil sperms donor put them trough. Yes sperms donor. Not father. Stay safe out there everyone 🙏🏼❤
My dear Mike, as an old age pensioner without any family it is always with great pleasure that I’m waiting for and watching your videos. The way you let the viewers have a look at the dark side of so many families but at the same time presenting these interesting and sad cases with a good sense of humor and a twinkle in your eyes, is very entertaining - if this ist he right word to use. As I spend my days reading a lot and not being able to meet a lot of people, you’re always a highlight of my day whenever I get a notification of you sharing yet another case of mysterious murders or disappearences. You are a very smart, intelligent young man, the kind one hoped for to be one‘s grandson. Before I sit down to watch another episode, I make myself a cup of tea, biscuits at the ready so I can truly enjoy a few minutes of real life happenings. Bless you, dear Mike , I’m already looking forward to give it a goo once more.👍
I can't even imagine what was racing through her mind at that moment. That poor woman... Those poor children. Unbelievable how they always choose to do it when the children are home
It’s unbelievably sad but did I miss something? How did they know that? Did he admit that or did the kids say something, or is it something they found through the crime scene?
@@britanyhayes85 He would have chcked if she were and just finished the job. He told the cop that interviewed him that he was positive she died because she had no pulse and no breathing. She can't fake not having a pulse even if she could hold her breath.
The shift in his voice when he goes from fake crying about her coming at him with scissors to telling them where her body was is one of the most chilling things I've ever heard
My favourite part of all of this is when the officer had to tell him 👈🏻 “stop stop stop” like he was a bad dog hahaha! I replayed that part far too many times 😂
Lol I loved that also. Plus I think the cop knew he was faking being controlled by some evil power not his fault. He was trying a desperate insanity defense but the cop saw right through it. He was like, STOP man you look stupid right now.
I hate it when you're investigating the crime scene of a wife who has just been murdered and find a plastic bag containing the ashes of the first wife who had also been murdered. 😭
@@dortesandal4303 I’m a forensic scientist so I know allll about it. As I said, someone’s gotta do it and I decided I should be that. It’s not a pleasant job but it is rewarding when you find something that ties a case together all neat and tidy and you get a dangerous person off the streets.
I've actually heard more of the story of the first wife, than I had this second one. The first wife's friends/family said Katherine did not like camping and that the camping trip was entirely set up so that he could murder her. It's still hard to believe that the first case was never reopened as a potential homicide. He said there was a prolonged struggle with his second wife. I'll bet she was kicking his fat ass until he got a lucky strike with those scissors. Hope he rots. RIP to both of his unfortunate wives and God bless those poor kids.
Usually to reopen a case there needs to be new evidence, and compelling enough evidence to justify a trial. It's tragic but I don't know if they will ever find compelling enough evidence to justify reopening her case considering how much more surreptitiously he planned her death compared to his second wife If only the scissors found their target in her hand and not his... Those kids would have been better off without that psycho in their lives
Obviously dumb and wrong, and your cognitive error here is why women get killed in the first place. Don't attack a man. You will lose. We are bigger and stronger than you. 99.9% of all the men you ever meet could choke you out whenever they wanted. Women seem completely unaware of this fact and it can, and often does, get them into all kinds of trouble. Learn a little about how reality works. It will be of benefit to you.
I'm a huge believer in not rushing relationships. When my (now husband, then boyfriend) brought up marriage after 6 months together I laughed at him and told him we would at LEAST need to be together for like 3 years before I even considered anything like that. If you haven't seen someone sad, angry, under stress, etc. and have only seen them at their most pleasant, you do not know them. Glad this guy got what was coming to him.
Met a really smart Guy once (jep just that once😉) - he said raise a couple of kids together, and, if you are still together after 25 years...it might be a Worth while idea♥️
Married my husband after 6 month..everyone told me, I have to wait at least 2 years. They are all divorced by now, I am married for 20 years by now.. Depents on the couple, not on how long you've been together before marriage
If she pulled scissors on you after you PUNCHED her in the face, technically she was defending herself against you……. But, “she’s a very strong girl.” 🙄
He's a snob he never answers back. But he'll take your money watching his videos. Be nice to people who follow you or they just might start in following you. Lots of these channels bud, kill em with kindness.
@@Christine-jz5nk creators with as many subs as Mike rarely reply to many comments! They get too many. That doesn’t make him a snob. It’s quite entitled to expect replies from content creators. Hopefully you are a child, if not, maybe time to research parasocial relationships and take time to reflect. Just a suggestion. No shade!
@@Christine-jz5nk Thats a pretty unrealistic expectation. also i've been watching him for about 2 years now. He has and does respond to comments from time to time. Imagine how much work it takes into making two videos a week that are this length. I just dont think you understand how much work it is. He also has a life outside of youtube and does do other projects. hopefully you are a child like the other commenter mentioned because you are rather immature to take that stance.
I guarantee he added that detail because he thought it would make the rest of the story more believable. Like, "If I confess to this one really bad thing, they'll think I'm telling the truth about everything."
Better to know why when they are still young. They will find out eventually and better in a controlled manner then by a random person like a stranger on the street
Police: How can you tell she’s dead? Todd: No pulse, not breathing, it’s been seven hours. Also, her final act to spend just a minute longer with her precious baby was heart breaking. She knew she was dying and he’d kill her but she wanted to see her baby one more time.
When he said that, I got a little teary-eyed and looked at my kids. What a heart breaking statement, I hope her kids are doing well and know that their mom loved them always.
This channel taught me that ex-military individuals are the most fucked up group on the planet. And it makes perfect sense too.. Vast majority of Mike's videos feature them. I would be scared living around any of them. Especially if I was based in the US.
@@peki100 Yeah our ex military is something the government just doesn’t want to address adequately. They go to high schools (usually in poorer neighborhoods) and recruit young people, mess them up thoroughly and then just unleash them on the citizens with not much skill, training to kill, and a whole lot of trauma. My twin brother was a corpsman and couldn’t get related work when he got out after witnessing his best friend get his head blown off- I doubt he will ever be healed from what he saw and they let him sign up at 16, he was at training at 17. Many are on the streets, their healthcare is a battle both for physical and mental ailments. So much of the budget is wasted on weapons we will never need, those get passed off to other countries who we act shocked use them… every generation gets their own war so the cycle never ends. Rinse and repeat.
They are so privileged they feel they have a right to do whatever they like and everyone will just support them. They don’t expect anyone to look too closely.
Hello my American friends. Please don't take my comment as an insult because that's not my intention. You are the world's nr 1 superpower, a rich country that does have the economic resources to take care of your military personel, but your government just don't. I mean how many cases have we seen now where veterans do the most horrible crimes you can imagine. There needs to be a kind of safety net for them when they get back into civilian life. First of all, they shouldn't have to worry about housing and some basic income so they can survive, secondly they should get free and mandatory psychological counselling. And before being let out among civilians they should have to go trough a thorough psychiatric evaluation to see if its safe to let them out among civilians. Some things I read about USA makes it sound like a third world country to me. I'm referring especially to health care, both mental and physical. And homelessness and poverty. And violent crime. USA has so much money for the military but no money for its own citizens it seems. I've read about people working 3 jobs just to survive and still having to sleep in their cars cos they can't afford anywhere else to stay. Your country seems so beautiful in many many different ways and I've NEVER met an American who was not nice, your people seem so incredibly kind, open, happy, funny I just love Americans. I studied in an American High school in Sweden where I live and most teachers and many students were Americans. I also met American tourists when I worked on cruise ships and in restaurants and they were all soo nice. Just one funny episode (completely unrelated). A group of US tourists ate at a restaurant where I worked, and they all had their passports in a see trough plastic kind of pocket around their necks. I had to tell them, that even though Stockholm the capital of Sweden is relatively safe, its not good to flaunt that they are tourists, I told them its better they put that passport-necklace inside their T-shirts because robberies etc happens here too. They thanked me for my advice :) I love American people, youre the kindest people, you, Jamaicans and UK people are my top 3 for nice kind people ❤💕😊💖 Lots of love and greetings from Sweden 😀
I just got the biggest laugh out of eyebrows outburst in court. That was freaking hilarious. How he could think that would help him is beyond me. I'm sure his lawyer was thinking oh hell what did I just take on here.
They said earlier that he was discharged from the Air Force for a dissociative disorder. That outburst looked exactly like a dissociative attack that happened right when the body was being described. His mind said 'I can't take this, I'm outta here' and away he went. I'll bet he doesn't even remember it.
@@metacomet2066 I agree. The confusion on his face after supports that it was involuntary & dissociative. I wonder why his counsel didn't argue harder for a DID diagnosis? I mean, if he has DID (or primary structural dissociation, if he only has the 1 alter), he's still responsible for anything any of his alters have done, but from a legal perspective, it could be seen as a mitigating circumstance, I'd guess
The only true crime channel where you can laugh, get angry and feel sad while watching only one video. You've done it again, Mike! Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦💛.
@@suzannenichols6900 Do you ever listened to Jiles from this is MONSTERS? Highly recommend his channel & Matt Orchard could also be something for you (:
The splicing-ins of Sunny references will never go unappreciated by this guy over here. They always bring the video up one level for me. Much love Mikey
My favorite part is the samurai bit, like did he honestly think that was going to help his case? It was like watching a John Belushi skit from Saturday Night Live
A very sad story. It's terrible what he did to his two wives. He looks like a man that fancied himself to be Tom Cruise, but found himself in Joe Pesci's body, channeling the character of Tommy DeVito.
Nobody on this app can tell a story the way Mike does. The jokes, the one liners. The overall atmosphere of each video… you’re able to tel these horrible stories. Give us a laugh and still respect the victims. So captivating and enjoyable. The facial expressions. Iconic 👌🏼 Mike you’re a legend in my books 😉
I find the verbiage used by the lawyer in the call to the 911 dispatch fascinating. He was extremely diligent in not saying anything thats incriminating to anyone
True, but that’s literally his only job at that point lol. You’d have to be a terrible attorney to get a 2 minute phone call wrong after studying for years to minimise and fight criminal matters for your clients.
I gasped at that - as she was bleeding to death with a pair of scissors in her neck, she managed to get up, stagger to her baby and comfort it. That is one of the most heart breaking images of mother and child ever. Poor Rachel! If only she had never met that evil piece of walking excrement.
I have a 6 month old, first child. I've listened to hundreds of these videos, not necessarily desensitized but expectant of the material. After I heard that I had to stop, and not gonna lie just cried. What's worse is realizing tons of the victims in other videos probably wish they had the chance to do the same. I might need to stop listening to true crime
And they're out of prosciutto! Man I hate it when the deli runs out of prosciutto. Not sure what that has to do with being a samurai. Maybe he's an Italian samurai? Maybe he's an Italian samurai, and prosciutto, being a succulent delicacy of meat, is a metaphor for Honor. You have no prosciutto, you have no honor. YOU ARE NO SAMURAI!
If the cops had just done the bare minimum in the first murder his second wife would neve have even met this psycho. I'd be really interested in seeing how he actually got away with that one and how badly the cops messed that up.
The relationship was so new "They probably hadn't even farted in front of each other". 🤣😅😂 Mike's throwaway lines are legendary. But really, a terrible story. I couldn't sit through the interrogation bit. Thanks Mike for such great content. I love how you never sensationalize the crime. You're the scion of the bards that come from your homeland.
@@donsmith4833 He killed her, so I'd argue his disrespectful nature was stronger. Not to mention, he's killed women before, so why is that her fault and not his?
@@oren1305 ... they are both wrong. Yes, and he is more wrong than her. But there is no excuse to commit adultery. If she wanted to be with the married handy-man, then she should have gotten a divorce, first. The last time that I checked, adultery is a sin... and it is still a sin, no matter how bad your husband is. PS: did you ever hear that 2 wrongs dont make a right.
@@donsmith4833 murder and adultery are two completely separate situations. Also that man was a raging narcissist so getting a divorce from him was probably impossible. And I'm sure he isn't innocent when it comes to keeping it in his pants.
I lived less than 2 miles from the air park when this happened. I remember hearing about it when it was still going through the courts, but didn’t know all the details. Such a surprise to see this 10 years later, especially considering it’s such a tiny community.
Probably a good idea not to cheat on them too. Or just don't be alone with them after they find out you're cheating and you refuse to stop. Actually, just go ahead and leave once you get the urge to cheat. Shouldn't be too hard to move out while they're out of town for work all week... you know, use your regularly scheduled cheating time for leaving instead. That would more productive, and a lot kinder
@@cjb2749 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU!!! Sounds like he gave her a good life and she had 3 children with him! If you're so unhappy then leave... Don't cheat!
@@politicgal408 He killed his first wife, we don't know how their marriage was behind closed doors either, but we know how it ended. You don't kill multiple spouses and get to justify it. Cheating is shitty, but murder is absolutely behind the pale in terms of a reaction. Just divorce cheaters, don't kill them.
I knew Mr.Winkler was going to be a treat to watch when he pulled his over done "crying", stopping and speaking normally and then intensely "crying" again. And boy, he did not disappoint with his awesome "samurai" moment! Mannnnn!!!!!!
Love the "Was it tho?" ..ur level of sarcasm mixed w/ true crime is absolutely brilliant!! Been a big fan, haven't missed a video in over a year..best TH-cam find ever!
Mike you are a stellar example of why the Irish ☘️ are known as great story tellers! Representing your country with exceptional talent. Also on another note I’ve no idea why people hear 🌲 when your clearly saying 3 😘🤪
The life insurance clips are my absolute favorite. Terrible tragedy but it’s nice to have some level of light heart energy in such a dark story. Thank you forever bringing attention to these stories!
@@HeidiAndScots what does? The little whit he adds to the stories he covers? I personally like his sense of humor and the way he covers the stories. Watch em so often I really don’t even notice it much. I do always laugh when he drops his “clickity clackity” line. Lol every time. And the videos that he doesn’t say it in always feel like they’re missing a little something
@@Supherrz ignore Heidi E. If you click on the username you can see this person is clearly negging aka leaving rude comments to garner attention on multiple videos of Mike’s. How sad.
Ahaha I love the clickity clackity. When Mike says it, just adorable. Among many other Mike-isms! The life insurance bit is the best. “Tree” as in three. “Take care of yourselves..because I love ya” 🥰
the baby she had with her HUSBAND, while she was seeing another man, whos she shouldnt have been seeing, which led her to passing ? she was a stand up lady dont you think ? how is no one talking about what a scum bag she was also
@@deezelkane some men will always justify a man hurting a woman who hurt his ego. Do you think that lady who locked her abusive cheating and let him suffocate is also right? Someone shouldn't die over cheating.
@@bruh-mb1rd no one should, you’re right, But this is the real world with real consequences. This woman should’ve left, instead of embarrassing her husband like that. The catalyst was her cheating, and in such a brazen way, it’s not surprising how it ended
I was about to chastise you, Mike, for the brevity of the beloved Life Insurance Dance, but you made up for it by showing Todd Winkler going loco in an unaccountably foreign accent. That was courtroom comedy gold.
I like how no one in the court bought his samurai outburst. His lawyer looking at him like dude, wtf, bailiff just telling him to stop like he was scolding a child. Prosecuting lawyer, "As I was saying..."
That’s horrifying that he thought she was dead but she woke up and got up to hold her baby while she’s bleeding and losing consciousness… thats heartbreaking
@@BalboaBaggins I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this comment? No fault divorce means you don't have to show a reason for a divorce, right? This means either partner can leave the marriage for any reason (if I recall correctly?)
Hi, Mike! I like when you cover a murder that I've seen on another show, I get more details. I know people handle stress differently but, so many of these murderers are awful liars.
It's amazing how people think they can still get away with murder these days. All the technology, advancements in DNA evidence.... It's like how did they ever solve them before lol, as John Mulaney had a bit about, "Lieutenant, we found a pool of the killers blood in the hallway." "Hmm, gross... now back to my hunch!"
These murderers must become so enraged that all logic goes out the window. There needs to be daily reminders of prison on TV and billboards all across the country.
I know we only got a brief clip of the life insurance bit, but it still absolutely cracks me up! Kudos to the person who made it; the comic sans font, the colours, the animation, the music - everything is just so perfect! 👌
I just want to say that I ordered "Hunt A Killer" for my mom for Christmas. Since then, we are on our second box and LOVING IT. Absolutley awesome game. Thanks again for the recommendation
I love your personality it makes these hard cases a lot easier to listen to! I am a crime junkie that's for sure but yeah definitely your personality makes it a lot easier to listen to these hard cases. Thank you so much love you dude keep up the good work
_"she's a very strong girl, she's extremely strong"_ *yeah... that tends to be the case when you're fighting for your survival.* my guess is he's saying this because he wants to justify his actions, like she's the incredible hulk or some shit and he was only defending himself.
Well clearly, yes. If you’re trying to convince someone that you’re in a “kill or be killed” fight, you have to also convince them that they have the ability to kill you.
@@Psyopcyclops Ridiculous of him to even think that they would believe that. The guy is pretty big too. I do quite a bit of weight lifting, but if I play fight with a short, super skinny guy friend of mine who never works out (he weighs less than me too), I can tell he's so much stronger than me. How unfair is that! :p Us women don't really stand much of a chance against any man who wishes to do us harm. :(
I know I'm not the only one that loves Mike as much as he does us. Ya already know Mike, we love your story telling. Your voice literally relaxes me. My world can be falling apart, but the moment I hear your voice, instant relaxation! Thank you good sir for providing this comfort and for always providing the entertainment 💙
This is by far my favourite channel on TH-cam. I just can't get enough of this channel. Love your work Mike and your quirky being Thank you . You are appreciated
You’re so funny and I just feel grateful that you bring so much awareness to these cases. But you bring a light with you that shatters all darkness thank you man
If Mike ever gets bored of making TH-cam videos, he should be able to go into writing. Superb sense of well timed humor. I like that the life insurance dance only makes small appearances now, so it doesn't get stale.
Mike, I've been following you since the beginning. I'm old enough to be your mom, an I think your adorable. You can tell a story like no one else. I look forward to watching your videos. Be safe Mike. Hugs from Illinois USA
It still blows my mind how selfish or what ever it's called when parents that murder their children's other parent are. So heartbreaking, this story especially.
@Stephen Woolley um...yes, but at least the parent is not dead by the hand of the child's other parent. That is an even more selfish thing to do to a child.
narcissists are incapable of caring for or considering others. they'd have had kids for the ownership of it and to use as a tool rather then out of love.
Wow it’s strikingly unsettling when one of these take place in your home town. My dad actually took Rachel up in our plane once. At 3:37, this picture is from an event called “show & shine” where people show off their planes and cars. Caught me off guard to see a pic because it’s such a small town and I didn’t know how far this story reached. This one was harder to watch than the rest… Love your videos!
@@lelu810 We were close neighborhood friends with the Hatfields growing up. Don the grandfather/painter took the kids in. A lot of tragedy in that family. Don's son (Rachel's brother) got sick a few years later and died as well.
It’s crazy how so many of these murderers were so close to having a great life. He could of had it all, but choose to kill twice and destroyed the lives of so many more
How would getting divorced and losing custody of kids be a great life? If marriage and divorce laws change, there would be less of this stuff happening.
Another great portrayal of a sad crime by one of the best Story tellers out there on TH-cam. We love his presentation, his wit and his charm. Mike never forgets the victims and never glorifies the Crime. Kudos Mike and remember, you know.❤
Ah Mike, for a second there, I thought you weren't going to say "let's give it a goo". You know that's the fix we all need. *Edited* It seems I've ruffled a few feathers by missing an "o" and rightfully so; I'll admit it, but this just further proves my point that people are addicted.
The contrived courtroom Samurai Bushido meltdown clip gets my vote for Best Short Subject Comedy Film of the year...such a powerful, legit portrayal surely is worthy of the highest acclaim....
I find it REALLY hard to believe the story of how they supposedly fought in the house. Not once, but twice. My theory is: he took the kids to the neighbors house first, then attacked his wife first. She fought for her life and he killed her. I doubt she said anything about her boyfriend "taking care of him".
@@BalboaBaggins Cheating isn’t ever justified. However, I don’t think that her actions means she should have been murdered. Ive stumvled upon your other comments on accident on this video and yeah the courts are skewed against men in divorce and custody, but there is alot of other options besides murdering your wife.
" I killed the first wife and got away with it, how hard can it be a second time? Now I've had practice. And if anyone gets suspicious, I'll act crazy until they forget what they asked"
As someone who has an allergy to bee stings I can say that the swelling & redness is quite extensive & usually lasts several days, so it would be impossible not to have evidence of this after his car accident
But have you ever jumped out of a moving vehicle before it crashed and burst into flames after being infected? Can we prove that doesn't have the same effect as an epi-pen? :D
@@swayjaayy5495 I don't think that has anything to do with anything. Does that mean the thousands of Downfall memes are in bad taste because of the Holocaust? No, maybe to hypersensitive little twits it might offend, but normal people can see the absurdity without harping on the tragedy.
I can see him going to prison but what about the poor Japanese Samurai who possesses him? HE didn’t do anything.
Pretty sure I’ve heard “possession is 9/10’s of the law”, so he could get put away for a long time
@@Emiliapocalypse 👆🏼 Best comment ever!!
I died :D
😂😂😂
Ya what was up with that? Some people don't realize when enough is enough. Instead they decide to channel a samurai to take the fall! As a last resort probably not gonna work.
I love the corrections officer yelling "stop it! " at Todd and pointing like he's talking to a toddler having a tantrum. He might as well be though.
@@heartlights I think you may have explained a friend of mine. Time to talk. Thank you.
Well, he might be a bit of a Todd-ler indeed.
That would've been a sheriff, not a c.o., but yes lol "YOU HAVE NO BUSHIDO!" it's a thing I'm gonna be screaming for the rest of my life!

Yes, I thought that was really strange. Another felon who thought he could talk his way out of charges- why pay an attorney when you can do a better job speaking for yourself?
Right! Only guilty people call their lawyer before 911.
And then he confessed straight away anyway.
Hope he enjoys the rest of his life and uses that time to think about his evil deeds.

I know, me too. That's horrible.
It would be hilarious if hunt a killer was just sending out real cases with the names changed so they could outsource the detective work
Lol
HA, it's just like one guy going through all the cold-cases and taking credit for solving them.
I’ve often thought this aye 😅
I legit thought that what it was. I ordered it and was disappointed to find out it wasn't real cases
Brilliant!
The shift in his voice when he goes from fake crying about her coming at him with scissors to telling them where her body was is one of the most chilling things I've ever heard
typical narcissist behaviour tries to fake empathy but is totally incapable of actually feeling it
My favourite part of all of this is when the officer had to tell him 👈🏻 “stop stop stop” like he was a bad dog hahaha! I replayed that part far too many times 😂
Lol I loved that also. Plus I think the cop knew he was faking being controlled by some evil power not his fault. He was trying a desperate insanity defense but the cop saw right through it. He was like, STOP man you look stupid right now.
The constant “uhhu” from the cop when he’s being interviewed is cracking me TF up, he ain’t believing a word

Ooh, mine was the 69th like on this comment!!
Just had to point that out....

You’d be surprised what you find at crime scenes tbh. Get to seee the horrific side of humanity but someone’s gotta do it and bring justice eh?
Yes that is darker than black, this is going to be horrific isn't it - just started watching.
@@dortesandal4303 I’m a forensic scientist so I know allll about it. As I said, someone’s gotta do it and I decided I should be that. It’s not a pleasant job but it is rewarding when you find something that ties a case together all neat and tidy and you get a dangerous person off the streets.
Classic pickle
That's the worst!! I had a lot of explaining to do!!!!
Mike: “They probably haven’t even farted in front of each other.”😂🤣😂
I've actually heard more of the story of the first wife, than I had this second one. The first wife's friends/family said Katherine did not like camping and that the camping trip was entirely set up so that he could murder her. It's still hard to believe that the first case was never reopened as a potential homicide.
He said there was a prolonged struggle with his second wife. I'll bet she was kicking his fat ass until he got a lucky strike with those scissors. Hope he rots.
RIP to both of his unfortunate wives and God bless those poor kids.
Usually to reopen a case there needs to be new evidence, and compelling enough evidence to justify a trial. It's tragic but I don't know if they will ever find compelling enough evidence to justify reopening her case considering how much more surreptitiously he planned her death compared to his second wife
If only the scissors found their target in her hand and not his... Those kids would have been better off without that psycho in their lives
i listened to a podcast and he wanted her to like hiking as much as he did and she tried but she was scared.
bigotry against fat people will not erase what Todd did. Focus on his crimes, not his weight.
Obviously dumb and wrong, and your cognitive error here is why women get killed in the first place. Don't attack a man. You will lose. We are bigger and stronger than you. 99.9% of all the men you ever meet could choke you out whenever they wanted. Women seem completely unaware of this fact and it can, and often does, get them into all kinds of trouble.
Learn a little about how reality works. It will be of benefit to you.
@@Skindoggiedog I once bodyslammed a boy just like you into a concrete block wall.
I'm a huge believer in not rushing relationships. When my (now husband, then boyfriend) brought up marriage after 6 months together I laughed at him and told him we would at LEAST need to be together for like 3 years before I even considered anything like that. If you haven't seen someone sad, angry, under stress, etc. and have only seen them at their most pleasant, you do not know them. Glad this guy got what was coming to him.
Yes! Rushing a relationship and marriage is a huge red flag re abusers. Of any gender. And is sadly overlooked, or made excuses for.
Exactly and WAIT TO HAVE KIDS!!
Met a really smart Guy once (jep just that once😉) - he said raise a couple of kids together, and, if you are still together after 25 years...it might be a Worth while idea♥️
I didn't get married until I was 40
Married my husband after 6 month..everyone told me, I have to wait at least 2 years. They are all divorced by now, I am married for 20 years by now..
Depents on the couple, not on how long you've been together before marriage
If she pulled scissors on you after you PUNCHED her in the face, technically she was defending herself against you……. But, “she’s a very strong girl.” 🙄
I don't care how strong she was, he looks like an extremely strong man.
@@Breakbeat. And very broad.
He looked to be A LOT stronger than both of his wives.
He could’ve picked her skinny azz up and put her outside, licking the door behind him. Then called his mommy😭
Good point.
What a pathetic act in court,never trust anyone with eyes that close together
😆
lol damn that’s harsh
The guy is horrendously unattractive.
I wonder how surprised Mike is about how many people around the world love him. Wonder if he ever imagined how cool we all would think he is
He's a snob he never answers back. But he'll take your money watching his videos. Be nice to people who follow you or they just might start in following you. Lots of these channels bud, kill em with kindness.
@@Christine-jz5nk creators with as many subs as Mike rarely reply to many comments! They get too many. That doesn’t make him a snob. It’s quite entitled to expect replies from content creators. Hopefully you are a child, if not, maybe time to research parasocial relationships and take time to reflect. Just a suggestion. No shade!
@@Christine-jz5nk Thats a pretty unrealistic expectation. also i've been watching him for about 2 years now. He has and does respond to comments from time to time. Imagine how much work it takes into making two videos a week that are this length. I just dont think you understand how much work it is. He also has a life outside of youtube and does do other projects. hopefully you are a child like the other commenter mentioned because you are rather immature to take that stance.

@@markroberts868 LMAO
He crafted an elaborate story about self-defense and started it by claiming that he struck the first blow.
I guarantee he added that detail because he thought it would make the rest of the story more believable. Like, "If I confess to this one really bad thing, they'll think I'm telling the truth about everything."
I noticed that too! I was thinking it's kind of hard to claim that when you come out swinging!!

Interesting but sad story. I always hate when children are left with no parents and growing up knowing why that is.
That is probably the most heartbreaking part of the story for me. Their lives will never be what it could've been
I don’t think they had to wonder why. I’m pretty sure they knew why and how much of an evil man their “father” was!

Life insurance song??
Better to know why when they are still young. They will find out eventually and better in a controlled manner then by a random person like a stranger on the street
My lord that outburst in court was an eye opener. A picture is worth a 1000 words. I bet wife #2 never even knew there had been a #1.

Police: How can you tell she’s dead?
Todd: No pulse, not breathing, it’s been seven hours.
Also, her final act to spend just a minute longer with her precious baby was heart breaking. She knew she was dying and he’d kill her but she wanted to see her baby one more time.
I can't help but wonder if she'd used that strength to crawl out a window, she might have survived.
Horror
When he said that, I got a little teary-eyed and looked at my kids. What a heart breaking statement, I hope her kids are doing well and know that their mom loved them always.
That was just so terribly sad.
You never stop being a mother. It’s so incredibly heartbreaking she just wanted to hold her baby.
This channel taught me that many murderers think that poor acting skills can save the day. Thanks, Mike, for uploading so consistently.
The United States Government has entered chat
This channel taught me that ex-military individuals are the most fucked up group on the planet. And it makes perfect sense too.. Vast majority of Mike's videos feature them. I would be scared living around any of them. Especially if I was based in the US.
@@peki100 Yeah our ex military is something the government just doesn’t want to address adequately. They go to high schools (usually in poorer neighborhoods) and recruit young people, mess them up thoroughly and then just unleash them on the citizens with not much skill, training to kill, and a whole lot of trauma. My twin brother was a corpsman and couldn’t get related work when he got out after witnessing his best friend get his head blown off- I doubt he will ever be healed from what he saw and they let him sign up at 16, he was at training at 17. Many are on the streets, their healthcare is a battle both for physical and mental ailments. So much of the budget is wasted on weapons we will never need, those get passed off to other countries who we act shocked use them… every generation gets their own war so the cycle never ends. Rinse and repeat.
They are so privileged they feel they have a right to do whatever they like and everyone will just support them.
They don’t expect anyone to look too closely.
Hello my American friends. Please don't take my comment as an insult because that's not my intention.
You are the world's nr 1 superpower, a rich country that does have the economic resources to take care of your military personel, but your government just don't.
I mean how many cases have we seen now where veterans do the most horrible crimes you can imagine.
There needs to be a kind of safety net for them when they get back into civilian life.
First of all, they shouldn't have to worry about housing and some basic income so they can survive, secondly they should get free and mandatory psychological counselling.
And before being let out among civilians they should have to go trough a thorough psychiatric evaluation to see if its safe to let them out among civilians.
Some things I read about USA makes it sound like a third world country to me. I'm referring especially to health care, both mental and physical. And homelessness and poverty.
And violent crime.
USA has so much money for the military but no money for its own citizens it seems.
I've read about people working 3 jobs just to survive and still having to sleep in their cars cos they can't afford anywhere else to stay.
Your country seems so beautiful in many many different ways and I've NEVER met an American who was not nice, your people seem so incredibly kind, open, happy, funny I just love Americans.
I studied in an American High school in Sweden where I live and most teachers and many students were Americans. I also met American tourists when I worked on cruise ships and in restaurants and they were all soo nice.
Just one funny episode (completely unrelated).
A group of US tourists ate at a restaurant where I worked, and they all had their passports in a see trough plastic kind of pocket around their necks.
I had to tell them, that even though Stockholm the capital of Sweden is relatively safe, its not good to flaunt that they are tourists, I told them its better they put that passport-necklace inside their T-shirts because robberies etc happens here too.
They thanked me for my advice :)
I love American people, youre the kindest people, you, Jamaicans and UK people are my top 3 for nice kind people ❤💕😊💖
Lots of love and greetings from Sweden 😀
His poor first wife didn't get justice, I feel for the kids 😢
I just got the biggest laugh out of eyebrows outburst in court. That was freaking hilarious. How he could think that would help him is beyond me. I'm sure his lawyer was thinking oh hell what did I just take on here.
It probably helped the jury make a decision on his sentencing. It had the opposite effect than he thought. Fricking pathetic.
I was genuinely creeped out at first and then started laughing too. LOL!!
It's rather disturbing. For a mental health professional, that is.
They said earlier that he was discharged from the Air Force for a dissociative disorder. That outburst looked exactly like a dissociative attack that happened right when the body was being described. His mind said 'I can't take this, I'm outta here' and away he went. I'll bet he doesn't even remember it.
@@metacomet2066 I agree. The confusion on his face after supports that it was involuntary & dissociative. I wonder why his counsel didn't argue harder for a DID diagnosis? I mean, if he has DID (or primary structural dissociation, if he only has the 1 alter), he's still responsible for anything any of his alters have done, but from a legal perspective, it could be seen as a mitigating circumstance, I'd guess

Give us a laugh and still respect the victims. So captivating and enjoyable. The facial expressions. Iconic 👌🏼 Mike you’re a legend in my books 😉
Hi
Hello👋
Not comedic like mike, but I would definitely put Mr. Ballen up there with Mike.
I find the verbiage used by the lawyer in the call to the 911 dispatch fascinating. He was extremely diligent in not saying anything thats incriminating to anyone
True, but that’s literally his only job at that point lol. You’d have to be a terrible attorney to get a 2 minute phone call wrong after studying for years to minimise and fight criminal matters for your clients.
@@Psyopcyclops true good sir but have you seen some of these lawyers today? Jesus wept.
Thats like being impressed at a cook for chopping an onion. 😅
@@Psyopcyclops 2 - 3 years. 2, provided that students attend summer sessions. I do not consider that to be many years.

These stories always break my heart for the kids. They have to live with the history provided by the parents.
Lose both parents needlessly 💔
So he murdered her and his previous wife yet somehow she is also responsible for getting killed?
@@222222ania What???
Definitely. And the baby she cradled at the end? What kind of memory did that create? Babies and toddlers do often remember. 😢
She got up and went to hold her baby?
I have seen many of these stories, but this part hit me in the gut hard.
It is, I almost tear up.
What part was when that was said??
That’s so gut wrenching in all the pain that she was in she still needed to comfort her Child. 😭
I gasped at that - as she was bleeding to death with a pair of scissors in her neck, she managed to get up, stagger to her baby and comfort it. That is one of the most heart breaking images of mother and child ever. Poor Rachel! If only she had never met that evil piece of walking excrement.
I have a 6 month old, first child. I've listened to hundreds of these videos, not necessarily desensitized but expectant of the material.
After I heard that I had to stop, and not gonna lie just cried. What's worse is realizing tons of the victims in other videos probably wish they had the chance to do the same.
I might need to stop listening to true crime
20:20 I died!!
The cop and defense attorney had the same energy as if a puppy was gnawing on their shoes!

YOU ARE *NOT SAMURAI*
And they're out of prosciutto! Man I hate it when the deli runs out of prosciutto. Not sure what that has to do with being a samurai. Maybe he's an Italian samurai? Maybe he's an Italian samurai, and prosciutto, being a succulent delicacy of meat, is a metaphor for Honor. You have no prosciutto, you have no honor. YOU ARE NO SAMURAI!
His Samurai breakdown in court literally made me laugh out loud so hard, totally unexpected idk what tf he was thinking 💀😂

If the cops had just done the bare minimum in the first murder his second wife would neve have even met this psycho. I'd be really interested in seeing how he actually got away with that one and how badly the cops messed that up.

If Mike ever gets bored of making TH-cam videos, he should be able to go into writing. Superb sense of well timed humor. I like that the life insurance dance only makes small appearances now, so it doesn't get stale.
And that you can vaguely hear the music start before he confirms the insurance exists .... 😂
Wink-man; One of the douchiest characters ever! Can't believe Mike's finally covering this case. RIP Rachel and Catherine.
Mike, I've been following you since the beginning. I'm old enough to be your mom, an I think your adorable. You can tell a story like no one else. I look forward to watching your videos. Be safe Mike. Hugs from Illinois USA
It's Friday night, time to celebrate the end of the working week by relaxing with a good old murder story with Mike!!
Why don't ya rub it in my face huh? It's 3:05pm here and I'm still at work
@@AlphaNova888 LOLL I was just about to say the same thing! Only I'm on a full flex schedule so my next day off is Monday.🤣🤣🤣
every friday
You're the only channel where I can confidently "like" a video before watching it. Great job as always!
I do the same...click the like button before I see the smoke forming lol🙋🏾♀️😍
Me2!!!
Same here
Same.
Same 😊
It still blows my mind how selfish or what ever it's called when parents that murder their children's other parent are. So heartbreaking, this story especially.
@Stephen Woolley um...yes, but at least the parent is not dead by the hand of the child's other parent. That is an even more selfish thing to do to a child.
Maybe she shouldn't have cheated on him.
Cheatings pretty selfish too.
@@BalboaBaggins Men cheat more than women do. Does that mean they should all be killed, too? Or just the women?
narcissists are incapable of caring for or considering others. they'd have had kids for the ownership of it and to use as a tool rather then out of love.
The way the court officer puts his hand on Winkler's shoulder and points at him with his other hand and tells him to stop @ 20:34 😂😆
I’ve slowly and deeply fallen in love with this man - the wink gets me every time!!!
Only slowly? Hurry up and love him!
@@davidspencer343 my fella also watches this channel, had to soften it a little lmao
Hope u mean Mike and not Todd Winkler! 😉
Todd Winkler is a murderer! How COULD you?!
Wow it’s strikingly unsettling when one of these take place in your home town. My dad actually took Rachel up in our plane once. At 3:37, this picture is from an event called “show & shine” where people show off their planes and cars. Caught me off guard to see a pic because it’s such a small town and I didn’t know how far this story reached. This one was harder to watch than the rest… Love your videos!
How are the kids doing, do you know?
@@lelu810 it’s a sensitive subject for my dad so I probably won’t ask, so I’m not sure. I hope they’re doing okay and my guess is they relocated.
@@lelu810 We were close neighborhood friends with the Hatfields growing up. Don the grandfather/painter took the kids in. A lot of tragedy in that family. Don's son (Rachel's brother) got sick a few years later and died as well.
the timid crescendo of the "life insurance" music in the background....at this point, the stuff this guy makes is Art.
It’s crazy how so many of these murderers were so close to having a great life. He could of had it all, but choose to kill twice and destroyed the lives of so many more
How would getting divorced and losing custody of kids be a great life? If marriage and divorce laws change, there would be less of this stuff happening.
Another great portrayal of a sad crime by one of the best Story tellers out there on TH-cam. We love his presentation, his wit and his charm. Mike never forgets the victims and never glorifies the Crime. Kudos Mike and remember, you know.❤
Ah Mike, for a second there, I thought you weren't going to say "let's give it a goo". You know that's the fix we all need.
*Edited* It seems I've ruffled a few feathers by missing an "o" and rightfully so; I'll admit it, but this just further proves my point that people are addicted.
I do feel like a need a 12 step program for his quotes & his 3’s❤️🌎 he’s slightly addicting.
I miss "lets give it a goo" 😒 Mike might be losing his amazing accent
Hey Michelle. The expression is; Lets give it a goo. It means let’s give it a gawk at or lets have a good look at it.
The first time he forgot I was traumatized .
Goo...not go lol
The contrived courtroom Samurai Bushido meltdown clip gets my vote for Best Short Subject Comedy Film of the year...such a powerful, legit portrayal surely is worthy of the highest acclaim....
Nothing screams murder like waiting 7 hours to call 911
I find it REALLY hard to believe the story of how they supposedly fought in the house. Not once, but twice. My theory is: he took the kids to the neighbors house first, then attacked his wife first. She fought for her life and he killed her. I doubt she said anything about her boyfriend "taking care of him".
Maybe she shouldn't have cheated on him.
no we were in the house
Its funny how Amber Heards always give other Amber Heards the benefit of the doubt and spin up the most convoluted theories in their defense.
@@BalboaBaggins Cheating isn’t ever justified. However, I don’t think that her actions means she should have been murdered. Ive stumvled upon your other comments on accident on this video and yeah the courts are skewed against men in divorce and custody, but there is alot of other options besides murdering your wife.
@aq1184 Are you seriously comparing this woman to Amber Turd? Winky the murderer is much more akin to Amber Turd than she is!
" I killed the first wife and got away with it, how hard can it be a second time? Now I've had practice. And if anyone gets suspicious, I'll act crazy until they forget what they asked"
As someone who has an allergy to bee stings I can say that the swelling & redness is quite extensive & usually lasts several days, so it would be impossible not to have evidence of this after his car accident
But have you ever jumped out of a moving vehicle before it crashed and burst into flames after being infected? Can we prove that doesn't have the same effect as an epi-pen? :D
@@Breakbeat. I mean, it must be a HELL of a lot of adrenaline to experience in that scenario lol.
I sure wasn't ready for "you are not Samurai!", even after all the craziness.
Mike, your videos are the highlight to my otherwise boring January. Thank you!
How is “you are not Samurai!! You are no Bushido!” not a meme at this point? Cap any argument off with that gem and you win the internet for the day.
Maybe because making a meme from a matter where a woman was brutally murdered and a family torn apart, is in bad taste.
Is that what he said in court?? What a cringe loser
He even looks evil
@@swayjaayy5495 I don't think that has anything to do with anything. Does that mean the thousands of Downfall memes are in bad taste because of the Holocaust? No, maybe to hypersensitive little twits it might offend, but normal people can see the absurdity without harping on the tragedy.
Ahhh first thing in the morning, a cup of tea and listening to Mike. Pure joy. Thank you Mike, you make my day.
"You are not Samurai!"
I feel bad for saying it but that part was just straight-up funny.
