So true. Loved ones should never give police these kinds of details. ... including past mental health issues as well. Remember the case of Elisa Lam? As soon as her mother told investigators that she suffered from bipolar .... they basically stopped looking for her. At that point they decided she probably either ran away and didn't want to be found or that she committed suicide of her own volition and therefore it was not a priority to search for her anymore. These kinds of idiot cops are infuriating.
Qualified professionals would hesitate to make those types of assumptions like that. They had zero evidence behind that claim. And no right to say that to her family. Though I am not surprised I'm definitely disgusted. They deserved to be charged investigated and when they are found guilty they should be stripped of all accolades and any authority for the rest of their natural lives.
I can't imagine the fear Aaron had knowing the police were spending all their time questioning him and not looking for Denise. She could have been dead while they were playing games. Then to top it off they accuse Denise of trying to get attention by reliving her trauma. I have a family member who suffered trauma. I also took courses in college in mental health and trauma. The idea that the police would even suggest that anyone would want to relive their trauma for excitement is insulting and shows their lack of knowledge, not to mention compassion and empathy. If this is how they deal with victims they are in serious need of retraining. Maybe police officers need to spend more time before they put them out on the street taking actual courses in psychology, mental health and trauma.
Courses in trauma are not needed to know that a victim isn't eager to experience the "excitement" again. Common sense should tell us this. How is it that we are in 21st century America and some people still think being a victim is fun?? Haven't these police ever met victims of crime? Did they think these people were having a good time?
Right that makes absolutely ZERO sense. Someone wanting to relive a trauma. If they want the experience to keep happening well then it isn't a trauma is it?
I completely agree. Now if I see a cop car I hyperventilate and think I’m doing something wrong. Even though I’m not doing anything wrong. This has destroyed my relationship with my daughter because she was taught to respect cops and they are always right, it also made tons of rumors that I was a drug user and or dealer. To this day not even my own lawyer believes me. He asked me how did I get so many drugs in my house. Not including jobs that have done background checks and I’m getting calls for then and until they check my background. I shake a lot and talk in my sleep and my family completely isolated me. Except my father who was upstairs when it happened and knew how they treated me. They handcuffed my hands and feet and put me in a patty wagon. I asked for a priest or a mental health professional and they said they would get one and never did. There was a string in my hoodie and they didn’t even notice! That’s how people hang them selves while locked up and isolated. I saw a court appointed therapist and he said “well you let him in your house!” I’ve lost everyone I love because of this. It was over 3 years ago and it’s not going away. I can see how people look at me and what they really think and I have no one to help.
I think the old saying "trust your gut" *usually* works for detectives. I'm sure in a solid majority of cases they use their experience and knowledge to look at the evidence and have a strong feeling for what happened in a case. Problem is putting TOO much stock into that gut feeling without exploring alternatives is something they sometimes do, which happened here. I suspect the fact that the spouse or boyfriend is usually the person responsible for a disappearance weighed very heavily. I get looking into Aaron here, but that despite zero evidence he did it and so much evidence he was telling the truth, it in inexcusable what they did to him. I think the police made up the hoax theory after that purely because they didn't want to admit how bad they screwed up, to save face.
@@brad7566 Seriously, the whole idea of Internal Affairs (the police investigating themselves) is like implementing regulations on oil and gas companies, but instead of having an outside agency enforce the law, telling those companies to enforce the laws internally. The real world doesn't work that way.
@Jon michael True, and how are you supposed to behave in that situation. I guess refuse to speak until they give up. Also, I feel the $2.5 million settlement was not enough, especially since the woman was being sexually assaulted while they wasted time.
Through all that they went through they got married and have a baby girl. That really shows their strength. I am happy that they have peace!! Great video Dr Grande!!
Ancient philosophers taught that one should live one's life in such a way that one does not have to have one's professional errors discussed by Dr Todd Grande.
"This demonstrates [the police] know nothing about trauma, but then again, it doesn't appear as though they understood anything about police work, either, so at least they were being consistent." I need to not be sipping soda during these videos, since this almost made me spit out my soda with laughter.
This happens a lot with victims/ survivor's or sa or csa. As a survivor of csa, I get it all the time. Because I did the work and got therepy for 30 years they doubt that I was abused as a kid. And that was from a mental health professional.
Another reason ppl prob attacked her, is because of the bias of what victims/ survivor's should act like after an assault. Example is how the cops in the ares thought a woman would enjoy reliving or get excitement from being csa. They assume a 12 year old enjoyed there assault. Therefore thinking csa is not a serious trauma.
isn't this the same department that let zodiac killer go because they thought he was black even though witnesses saying he was white, something's wrong with Vallejo PD
@@waitwhat3547 No that was S.F.P.D that likely let Zodiac go; cops in Solano Co are only thought to have heard his voice on the phone. Most departments in the area are pretty bad though.

Sounds like Mustard was in league with the kidnapper. There's no way someone just blatantly turns a blind eye to all the evidence or is that incompetent.
If Matthew wanted to get away with more crimes after Denise's kidnapping, all he had to do was keep victimizing in that jurisdiction. His downfall was going into an area where the police actually investigate.
I enjoyed the slightly sarcastic evaluations of the quality of the policeofficer's statements, though my husband works in a policemen's union. Or because of that. In the police it is like it is in every other profession people work in, some are very smart and competent, others are ... less smart.

In all seriousness though, I am tired of the Old Boys’ Club construct. I’ve dealt with it firsthand and it is not fun-so much allowance of unethical practice, and when you finally get the courage to go to someone higher than them, it usually dead-ends because it’s another old boy in the club. Their actions severely and permanently damage people’s lives and they don’t care.
And I like how so many of the officers in these stories break more laws than the people they are questioning. Not to say all cops are bad of course. Being skeptical is one thing, but completely disregarding claims and denying him his attorney?
Yes, I was thinking of his work ethics by maintaining loyal to his posts and how it has made my life more understanding, lets say tolerable to myself so I quit my job, (making sense with a lawsuit and appreciating my resources and the goodness of taking boundaries. An example he shows often.)
I just read their book and was blown away. I had never heard their story and really liked it...I haven't watched the vid yet but I'm excited to hear your thoughts!!
My choice would be “Don’t blame yourself for being a victim, that’s our job.” 😂🤣😂 But seriously, the more I hear, the more it seems that the whole law enforcement system needs an overhaul with training focused on mental health and critical thinking skills. “Defund the Police” is a horrible slogan, but the idea behind it (more $ towards mental health intervention to descalate volatile situations) may not be as kooky as it sounds. 🤷🏼♀️ Excellent video! 💕💖💕👍🏼
From a UK perspective there seems to be an incredible number of law enforcement agencies in the United States and some of them, especially the smaller ones, don't seem overly endowed with competence or integrity. We've went the opposite way in the UK. Perhaps too few which don't have strong links with their locales. For instance I'm in Scotland and we went from about a dozen police forces, each serving a population of several hundred thousand, to one for a population of 5½ million.
@@simonw1313 yes, that sounds like too few law enforcement personnel for that population. I’m definitely not for decreasing the number of positions but maybe a cop could have a well trained mental health professional partner riding with them? OR maybe the police academy needs to change the focus of their training.
@@mcd5478 - Its not a question of staff numbers which will vary with the size of the population they have to serve, it's a question of whether lots of small agencies (I think the US has 4,000+ law enforcement agencies) have the expertise or quality of staff to deal with unusual or difficult cases. It seems unlikely that they all will have the capacity to do that.
Amazing video from beginning to end, Dr. Grande! The police officer's conduct was very disturbing! "I guess detective Mustard figured that because he was an awful police officer, he might as well try to be an awful mental health professional as well." 😂 Loved your slogans as well! ;D
I've missed so many of your videos as I've been studying. The first thing I did when finished my studies.. priorities.. catch up on Dr Grande videos 😎☕
I'd love to hear your take on the Cheshire home invasion murders. The perpetrators seem like such an unlikely pair to me and I'm curious what your take is on how their personalities influenced one another. Excellent analysis on this one, as usual, Dr. Grande. Thank you for creating such interesting and intelligent content!
Hey Dr. Grande, can you look into the case of Dannette Millbrook and Jeannette Millbrook who disappeared on March 18, 1990? And try to bring more light to it?
It depends how much they were given. Also, had they been drinking before the kidnapper arrived? Were either of them on any type of medication that might interact with a sleep medication? You would think the police would want to ask all of those questions before they make an assumption.
Some people turn like zombies with allergy medicine and can barely keep their heads and eyes open. It's sleep medication anyway, the purpose is to make you sleep, the more the more effective
@@Sarablueunicorn I'm sure you're right - I guess I thought an over-the-counter sleep meds couldn't possibly work on people loaded with adrenaline during home invasion and kidnapping.
@@nebraskafrankcourtny go take 30 benadryl (Diphenhydramine)tablets, 30 melatonin tablets, and 30 doxylamine succinate tablets (the nyquil sleepaid)put it in a blender with a cup or so of orange juice and chug it down, even if you smoke some crack beforehand for the adrenaline effect, let me know how it goes when you wake up in the hospital rambling about the spiders on the ceiling and how the tigers won't stop popping your balloons in Mexico. You might have to haunt the coroner or mortician to do it for you though, so I take it back, do not do anything I previously stated OTC medicine can do much more than knock you out, it can kill you or cause permanent brain damage.
Thank you for calling it what it is: law enforcement incompetence!!!!! Even the suspect was telling them it was true!! In fact, Vallejo detectives who handled this case should be criminally charged IMO!
Wow! Another case I never heard of. Sounds like a movie plot. Crazy. Another great vid by Dr Grande. Love that shirt- looks purple on my device. ( Dr Grande is so cute to me. And smart too!😉 )🤠💕
Dr. Grande, I have to say one of the results I am experiencing from binge-watching your videos, particularly the true crime stories, is a growing distrust of law enforcement! From many of the "true crime" programs I watch, I had the impression that most police and investigators were very dedicated and competent.
I sometimes google the names in the title of Dr. G.'s videos, just to have some idea what he is going to talk about. Since I'm not familiar with these people he talks about most of the time. I find him to be almost always on the first page of the google search sites (also this time). I just wanted to mention my observation, without having any further implications in mind.
If a criminal broke into my house and asked for my RobinHood, Gmail, and Chase Bank account passwords, I would immediately find the courage to fight him gun or not 😅 I’m sorry but this whole thing is ridiculous 🤦🏽♂️
@@zenawarrior7442 Um, try listening to the entire presentation. This was true. The perp was a repeat offender, may have had a psychotic condition (Bipolar I), and was ultimately convicted of aggravated kidnapping; the couple sued and settled for $2.5 million.
If he asked for my Amazon account password that would be doable, any others, and I would also have to admit severe disorganization. They're written down somewhere, I hope. However, I could offer him a couple of tube TVs and a Beta max if he would just leave quietly.
Honest question - why have polygraphs not been outright banned for use by the police? If they worked, nearly all parents would have one for their kids. I don't see why that kind of pseudoscience is even allowed by the police since they aren't even allowed in courts.
They should be banned, but I doubt they ever will be. The police use them as an investigative 'tool'. It allows them to ask more questions, while the suspect is made even MORE nervous. Then they might confess to something, or just give the police a general idea of their composure, under pressure. They decide if the suspect is worth further investigation, basically they decide if you're lying, not the machine. It's all just to rattle the suspect. It rattles the innocent, too. Innocent people have been charged and convicted based on the police's view of how they did during the polygraph, interviews, and such. If it's not allowed in court, it shouldn't be used at all.
I'd like you see your analysis of typhoid Mary. Someone who was an asymptomatic carrier of a deadly disease, did not believe the science, and refused to change her behavior or livelyhood despite leaving a trail or illness and death wherever she went.
This is the first I've heard of this bizarre case... holy s**t! I'm glad to find this recap and analysis. I find nothing on earth more fascinating than the range, and complexities, of human behavior.
Thank you for the fantastic story and the laughs. I volunteered tutoring GED-ABE at the county jail during my freshman year of college. I made a life long decision to never do anything that might involve police.But in some cases one has no choice. Police behavior becomes scarier and scarier. ( I am a white female. Easier for me to evade police attention than most people.)
Detective Mustard? Really?? Where are we? Dr. Grande's Game of Clue?? That's too funny. I can't believe he got through that with a straight face. There was a golden opportunity there for one of Dr. Grande's hilarious aside comments, especially given the alleged incompetence of the law enforcement investigating the case.
oh snap!! those 3 slogans at the end hahaha! Dr Grande is letting shots off :') i like how you show your distain for these people... its very subtle lmfaoo :D
This is so insane these cops are literally unbelievable. They should all lose their jobs seriously, and they should get jail time for the accusations against the poor girl. She deserved more then 2 million she deserved more like 100 million for all of her torment , Matthew should get life in prison flat out.
Wow, crazy I just saw the 20/20 interview with this couple (which I know aired sometime ago), the other night. This case was so tragic for this poor couple, given what really happened! The level of incompetency with the police in this investigation is NEXT level. AND, they wouldn't even admit guilt in the civil settlement, apparently. Disgusting. They were violated once by the perpetrator, and then again by these horribly incompetent police officers. I hope that couple can finally move on, and get the peace they rightfully deserve. Edited to say: If I am not mistaken, I think the investigator "Mustard" may still be working with the precinct. I believe Lt. Kenny Parks, who at the press conference, basically called Denise and Aaron liars, and the whole incident a hoax & waste of the taxpayer's money, left. Such a warm & fuzzy feeling to know some of these idiots are still working!
OMG yet another case of gross ineptitude by the police . Sadly this is not an isolated case . The police in this case were astounding in their stupidity . Im gobsmacked by this case . Thanks for your clear and straightforward presentation of this case . I feel that this case overshadows the " good " guys in law enforcement ( and there are a few ) because the law enforcement in this case were beyond inept . Unbelievable !
I love how even the kidnapper couldn't believe how the police were coming to their conclusions and tried to set the record straight. What a weird guy! Investigate Sesma and Mustard! The police and the media need to look at their behaviour and improve
Good morning Dr Grande. Great analysis. I feel so sorry for this couple.Not only did they have an intruder ,and the woman was kidnapped. The police actions were appalling. I'm pleased it ended well for the couple. But if l was them,l would take the police to court, just for there accordingly. Thank you Dr Grande.
Just shows how important objectivity is with law enforcement. Jumping to assumptions almost never ends well. People are creative and calculating... sometimes we have to try to believe the unbelievable is, at least, possible.
De. Grande making the best case for police reform which should include improving their math skills, teaching deducted reasoning skills, and teaching honest interrogation techniques!
Wow congratulations over 800,000 I remember when I first subscribed back in 2019 it wasn't nowhere near close..... Neuroplasticity keeps that sophisticated mind growing !!!!!!!!✍️💯🧬🧠
This is mind blowing . I could imagine that this story of a guy in a wetsuit with cameras sounded absolutely crazy. But after further evidence its nuts they continued down this path.
The police conduct in this case is unacceptable. I think your point about police not having good critical thinking skills is spot on. Very sad they are so damaging to victims
3:40 This is exactly what happened in a murder case here in Greece last year. It was quite haunting to follow through the investigation as onlookers...
I can’t believe they used her past sexual assault as an excuse to call her a liar. It must be devastating
That was so sick and twisted, my jaw dropped
Only 6 years ago. Still so much misogyny.

@@simonw1313 yes, that sounds like too few law enforcement personnel for that population. I’m definitely not for decreasing the number of positions but maybe a cop could have a well trained mental health professional partner riding with them? OR maybe the police academy needs to change the focus of their training.
@@mcd5478 - Its not a question of staff numbers which will vary with the size of the population they have to serve, it's a question of whether lots of small agencies (I think the US has 4,000+ law enforcement agencies) have the expertise or quality of staff to deal with unusual or difficult cases. It seems unlikely that they all will have the capacity to do that.
Amazing video from beginning to end, Dr. Grande!
The police officer's conduct was very disturbing! "I guess detective Mustard figured that because he was an awful police officer, he might as well try to be an awful mental health professional as well." 😂 Loved your slogans as well! ;D
As always I appreciate the sarcasm!
I've missed so many of your videos as I've been studying. The first thing I did when finished my studies.. priorities.. catch up on Dr Grande videos 😎☕
I'd love to hear your take on the Cheshire home invasion murders. The perpetrators seem like such an unlikely pair to me and I'm curious what your take is on how their personalities influenced one another.
Excellent analysis on this one, as usual, Dr. Grande. Thank you for creating such interesting and intelligent content!
This is horrible. I’m so sorry for them. What terrible police work
Oh my God!!!! Unbelievable story!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Love your slogans! I feel bad for the citizens who live in that city. 😢
It just keeps getting better and better! Thanks!
Hey Dr. Grande, can you look into the case of Dannette Millbrook and Jeannette Millbrook who disappeared on March 18, 1990? And try to bring more light to it?
Also, it always seemed bizarre to me that, as the story goes, the kidnapper "knocked out" the victims using over-the-counter sleep meds.
It depends how much they were given. Also, had they been drinking before the kidnapper arrived? Were either of them on any type of medication that might interact with a sleep medication? You would think the police would want to ask all of those questions before they make an assumption.
@@donnag7908 I agree!
Some people turn like zombies with allergy medicine and can barely keep their heads and eyes open.
It's sleep medication anyway, the purpose is to make you sleep, the more the more effective
@@Sarablueunicorn I'm sure you're right - I guess I thought an over-the-counter sleep meds couldn't possibly work on people loaded with adrenaline during home invasion and kidnapping.
@@nebraskafrankcourtny go take 30 benadryl (Diphenhydramine)tablets, 30 melatonin tablets, and 30 doxylamine succinate tablets (the nyquil sleepaid)put it in a blender with a cup or so of orange juice and chug it down, even if you smoke some crack beforehand for the adrenaline effect, let me know how it goes when you wake up in the hospital rambling about the spiders on the ceiling and how the tigers won't stop popping your balloons in Mexico. You might have to haunt the coroner or mortician to do it for you though, so I take it back, do not do anything I previously stated OTC medicine can do much more than knock you out, it can kill you or cause permanent brain damage.
Thank you for calling it what it is: law enforcement incompetence!!!!! Even the suspect was telling them it was true!! In fact, Vallejo detectives who handled this case should be criminally charged IMO!
Wow! Another case I never heard of. Sounds like a movie plot. Crazy. Another great vid by Dr Grande. Love that shirt- looks purple on my device. ( Dr Grande is so cute to me. And smart too!😉 )🤠💕
Absolutely appalling. That poor family. Disgusted with the police.
Dr. Grande, I have to say one of the results I am experiencing from binge-watching your videos, particularly the true crime stories, is a growing distrust of law enforcement! From many of the "true crime" programs I watch, I had the impression that most police and investigators were very dedicated and competent.
Your so good I can't imagine another channel even coming close to yours.
Love the slogans they were absolutely perfect. Well done
Great slogans, thanks for sharing!
These police officers,omfg, they are beyond appalling
I sometimes google the names in the title of Dr. G.'s videos, just to have some idea what he is going to talk about. Since I'm not familiar with these people he talks about most of the time. I find him to be almost always on the first page of the google search sites (also this time). I just wanted to mention my observation, without having any further implications in mind.
Thanks for my laugh if the day.....you and Dr grande
@@MelindaMc What is so funny about this? Sorry, I don't get it...?
Yeah, I do the same thing after I watch his video, though. He makes me want to learn more about it.
@@mrs.reluctant4095 Looks like a troll to me. Nothing funny about it. These trolls have nothing better to do.
@@JustDr.S Thank you!
HAHA!!! Love the 3 slogans at the end. Nice work Dr. Grande!!!
You are so correct. Polygraphs and intuition are ridiculous. And police officers lying to individuals should be against the law…
What a great analysis of this terrible situation.
If a criminal broke into my house and asked for my RobinHood, Gmail, and Chase Bank account passwords, I would immediately find the courage to fight him gun or not 😅 I’m sorry but this whole thing is ridiculous 🤦🏽♂️
Yes their story is ridiculous and suspect. Trying to get money or fame I feel.
@@zenawarrior7442 Um, try listening to the entire presentation. This was true. The perp was a repeat offender, may have had a psychotic condition (Bipolar I), and was ultimately convicted of aggravated kidnapping; the couple sued and settled for $2.5 million.
If he asked for my Amazon account password that would be doable, any others, and I would also have to admit severe disorganization. They're written down somewhere, I hope. However, I could offer him a couple of tube TVs and a Beta max if he would just leave quietly.
I hope this kind of situation is rare in the U.S. Just wow...😬 Terrible too see such poor resources being invested in that particular detachment.
Honest question - why have polygraphs not been outright banned for use by the police? If they worked, nearly all parents would have one for their kids. I don't see why that kind of pseudoscience is even allowed by the police since they aren't even allowed in courts.
It is a tactic to elicit confession. They never come back and tell you that you passed, regardless of the result. Yes, they can do that.
That is so funny.
They should be banned, but I doubt they ever will be. The police use them as an investigative 'tool'. It allows them to ask more questions, while the suspect is made even MORE nervous. Then they might confess to something, or just give the police a general idea of their composure, under pressure. They decide if the suspect is worth further investigation, basically they decide if you're lying, not the machine. It's all just to rattle the suspect. It rattles the innocent, too. Innocent people have been charged and convicted based on the police's view of how they did during the polygraph, interviews, and such. If it's not allowed in court, it shouldn't be used at all.
Laughed out loud when the kidnapper tried to convince the police that the kidnapping was real.
Your professionalism and expertise is outstanding Dr Grande. Thank you for the video.
Informative and amusing, despite the awful nature of the subject. Love on ya DG.
I'd like you see your analysis of typhoid Mary. Someone who was an asymptomatic carrier of a deadly disease, did not believe the science, and refused to change her behavior or livelyhood despite leaving a trail or illness and death wherever she went.
Another slogan for this police department would be:
"Our first thought that comes to mind, will determine that you're guilty of a crime."
Thanks Dr Grande for a brilliant analysis of the flaws in the conduct of some police officers. You are on the mark as usual.
This is the first I've heard of this bizarre case... holy s**t! I'm glad to find this recap and analysis. I find nothing on earth more fascinating than the range, and complexities, of human behavior.
They say she owed everyone an apology but refused to apologize when they further victimized her.
Outstanding analysis coupled with exceptionally hilarious commentary!
This crime and criminal are unbelievable.
The cops threw the prisoner's dilemma at two victims!? I have no words.
Shocking story! Love your dry and sarcastic sense of humor…
This case is a real head scratcher how the cops could be this bumbling.
So true, the police should have investigated all theories.
Thank you for the fantastic story and the laughs. I volunteered tutoring GED-ABE at the county jail during my freshman year of college. I made a life long decision to never do anything that might involve police.But in some cases one has no choice. Police behavior becomes scarier and scarier. ( I am a white female. Easier for me to evade police attention than most people.)
I wish politicans and judges were as smart as Dr Grande. I would have more faith in the system.
Dr. Grande is absolutely my best discovery of 2021. His intelligence mixed with his calm humor is everything.
More love bombing..
the amazing shading of the PD though omg
Detective Mustard? Really?? Where are we? Dr. Grande's Game of Clue?? That's too funny. I can't believe he got through that with a straight face. There was a golden opportunity there for one of Dr. Grande's hilarious aside comments, especially given the alleged incompetence of the law enforcement investigating the case.
oh snap!! those 3 slogans at the end hahaha! Dr Grande is letting shots off :') i like how you show your distain for these people... its very subtle lmfaoo :D
I was once beat up at a club, then accused of shooting someone there.
And? Go on, finish the story! Did you shoot him?
This is so insane these cops are literally unbelievable. They should all lose their jobs seriously, and they should get jail time for the accusations against the poor girl. She deserved more then 2 million she deserved more like 100 million for all of her torment , Matthew should get life in prison flat out.
Wow, crazy I just saw the 20/20 interview with this couple (which I know aired sometime ago), the other night. This case was so tragic for this poor couple, given what really happened! The level of incompetency with the police in this investigation is NEXT level. AND, they wouldn't even admit guilt in the civil settlement, apparently. Disgusting. They were violated once by the perpetrator, and then again by these horribly incompetent police officers.
I hope that couple can finally move on, and get the peace they rightfully deserve.
Edited to say: If I am not mistaken, I think the investigator "Mustard" may still be working with the precinct. I believe Lt. Kenny Parks, who at the press conference, basically called Denise and Aaron liars, and the whole incident a hoax & waste of the taxpayer's money, left. Such a warm & fuzzy feeling to know some of these idiots are still working!
Dr. Grande out here throwing shade! 🏖🍹
Every Dr. Grande video is 🔥
OMG yet another case of gross ineptitude by the police . Sadly this is not an isolated case . The police in this case were astounding in their stupidity .
Im gobsmacked by this case . Thanks for your clear and straightforward presentation of this case . I feel that this case overshadows the " good " guys in law enforcement ( and there are a few ) because the law enforcement in this case were beyond inept .
Unbelievable !
I love how even the kidnapper couldn't believe how the police were coming to their conclusions and tried to set the record straight. What a weird guy!
Investigate Sesma and Mustard! The police and the media need to look at their behaviour and improve
Love your slogans for the police department. All three were fantastic!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good morning Dr Grande. Great analysis. I feel so sorry for this couple.Not only did they have an intruder ,and the woman was kidnapped. The police actions were appalling. I'm pleased it ended well for the couple. But if l was them,l would take the police to court, just for there accordingly. Thank you Dr Grande.
That's outrageous!
I love your channel and appreciate the amount of learning I'm doing :) thanks for all that work!
Last part was awesome!
The police slogan for that police station should be: You're guilty until proven guilty.
Just shows how important objectivity is with law enforcement. Jumping to assumptions almost never ends well. People are creative and calculating... sometimes we have to try to believe the unbelievable is, at least, possible.
De. Grande making the best case for police reform which should include improving their math skills, teaching deducted reasoning skills, and teaching honest interrogation techniques!
I love this guy’s dry wit.
Wow congratulations over 800,000 I remember when I first subscribed back in 2019 it wasn't nowhere near close..... Neuroplasticity keeps that sophisticated mind growing !!!!!!!!✍️💯🧬🧠
Unbelievable is the only way to describe the police departments terrible behavior.
I love the scathing sarcasm
"Great police work".... good God. Infuriating. I've heard waayyy too many times in my life police not believing people telling the truth.
What a hot mess of a police station was that...
This is mind blowing . I could imagine that this story of a guy in a wetsuit with cameras sounded absolutely crazy. But after further evidence its nuts they continued down this path.
Every time I see your book back there I think it has a curly mustache
The police have hired Colonel Mustard? There's your problem, it's always Colonel Mustard, with the candlestick, in the living room.
The police conduct in this case is unacceptable. I think your point about police not having good critical thinking skills is spot on. Very sad they are so damaging to victims
3:40 This is exactly what happened in a murder case here in Greece last year. It was quite haunting to follow through the investigation as onlookers...
