Please Please I beg you say third!

Hi Mike. One of your biggest fans From the very start passed away a couple weeks ago. We met through your channel. He lived in USA 🇺🇸 I live in England. We became very good friends. I miss him lots. Thanks for introducing us though

PLEASE COVER THE APPLE RIVER STABBING the trial is just finishing up now, guy was found guilty/not in self defense.

@@lucibee1163 "From the very start passed away a couple weeks ago." huh?

Hey Moike, the last few have been old ones bro, wassup with that? Need new ish, like within couple of months. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly, clearly everyone mourns differently.

Right!

Absolutely! His voice didn’t have “shock” to it. But truly, knowing he’s innocent makes it all the harder to hear his tone. The anger, and the lack of emotion is just saddening. He’s so angry at the police, and listening to it again knowing he’s innocent you can really hear the hurt from the whole situation.

I honestly thought he did it. In his 911 call he seemed less concerned that his wife was dead, and more concerned about establishing an alibi

Even when they were questioning him he sounded off. At first I thought maybe he and the son in law were in cahoots because his demeanor was so odd. Makes you wonder what poor Kyle witnessed and how he processed the incident.

I noticed that too... poor guy. He wanted to trust the guy his daughter chose to be with.

"I don't think it's all bullshit, but theoretically it could be."

I agree completely. As he was talking about Jeff, Bruce became increasingly fidgety and was shifting uncomfortably in his chair. It was as though he was trying his utmost _not_ to accuse Jeff.

The cops where really good at there job

My Grandmother used to say things are different when spoken out loud, there is a rhyme or something but i have long forgotten it, this made me think of it.

Omg yes 💔

poor man still trying to process everything....

The way the soon-to-be son-in-law sits there scoffing and saying "I didn't do anything" over and over like a robot is disgusting. Especially since the family loved him, even the father. The father didn't even say he suspected Jeff, even though he obviously did..

😂

I can't even picture this guy having a child, because it would involve effort...SIGH

Yep nope... definitely feel that. My cellphone got nearly thrown across my room. Had to pause and read up the comments. Glad I'm not the only one.

Same 😂 that and his I didn't do anything 😩🙄

I wonder how his fellow inmates like it when he sighs? I hope they are bullying the s*** out of him!

Bruce type of guy to kill his wife then pin it on his son in law. Did you know Bruce found a new gf 5 weeks after her death? They are married now. Rumors has it they hooked up before she died.

😂😂😂

​@NineteenEighty8 holy shit what bonkers reality you living in. Jeff was a pos moocher and he was the one claiming all the shit happening before her death. Stop trying to be special

@@NineteenEighty8 Okay, Jeff. We care.

💀

But he didn't do anything. He left. He left.

The huffs! Making me want to cheese grater my face.

He always got away with it as a child and decided to attempt it again with the detectives.

He’s like a petulant wee bairn who was caught and is impatient and huffing and puffing away to himself like “siiiiigh, I can’t believe I have to deal with this, why won’t they let me get away with it”

Thanks for the warning

It was interesting to see they went with Bad Cop/Bad Cop, rather than one of them opening a narrative to owning up to a lesser crime (ie. self defence). That could have sped things up

Well he could have

He didn’t realize it wasn’t her until afterwards because she was probably dead at the time

Exactly why I don’t think asking ppl open-ended questions on a 911 call is effective. Just get the address from the caller and get some police there. 🤦🏿‍♂️

​@derrisleemusic1998 exactly. Send the police youll figure what's happening when they get there! They're trying to get logical answers from traumatised people.

@@waterbitten It's a lot safer for everyone if they get an idea of what's going on before they show up, for one thing it reduces the chance that the police are going to shoot somebody.

@waterbitten They were already on the way, but the “spontaneous utterances” made over 911 can help the police solve the crime.

@Sniperboy5551 true.

Exactly how shocking for Kyle to see that monster murder his mum

lol at expecting anything out of a murderer. true crime fans aren’t very intelligent on average

Didn’t seem like it was in front of him either. At the same house but didn’t hear anything about doing it in front of him.

@@prepaidtrash5552 trolling is lame, if you’re going to do it at least be interesting

@@fungi5350 For real, like what do you expect people in the comments to be doing? Sharing their feelings like a....human? I swear some of these people just dont really talk to other humans often.

OK DOC

He doesn't care

@@sarahrean7174you have such a keen sense of investigation detective 🙄

EXACTLY! It took us just one car breakin for us to get an alarm system with cameras. LOTS of cameras. Better safe than sorry.

I don’t know why more people don’t have cameras. They aren’t super expensive anymore. Someone rifled through our car in our driveway, all the papers from the glovebox were all over the floor of the car, and we got a couple cameras. I get alerts through my phone now. I won’t not have cameras anymore. Plus you get a small discount on your homeowners insurance.

it was but they soon discovered that there are no ladders on earth capable of holding jeff and cranes are super expensive.

People always want a dramatic, teary reaction to tragedy and it's just not how everyone responds, especially in the moment. I think it's more telling that he still talks about her like she's still alive in the interview when he's talking about whether his wife and the guy get along. He obviously hasn't processed it at that point

It's still a bit jarring.

I get the impression he might have a whiff of Asperger's or autism, a bit distant to emotional attachment but observant of details.

I took his reaction the same way as you. He’s upset and angry because he felt it could have been prevented if the police had done more about the stalker issue. Sad….

If that’s how he remained when the initial shock wore off, it’d be suspicious. In and of itself, it’s jarring, unsettling, and it raises questions that need to be answered, but it’s not inherently incriminating. Nuance is key here.

Not only a bum but a thief. Big baby is angry because he has to do chores while living there for rent free.

I've had people ask me to take their kids in. I did once. Never again. I like my space, I worked hard for my home to share with my family only. Sorry.

@@myunknownland9272JFC take your own kids in? Why do people feel so entitled to other people’s stuff; in your case a roomy home?

​@@myunknownland9272Did they act like they were on vacation? I like my private home too.

I'm also too selfish and narcissistic to even try to understand anyone else's struggle or perspective... O wait. Nah, I can grasp empathy.

It must be that sparkling personality of his 🙄😂

Classic “oaf” mentality. Jeff the Hutt.

No Shit!!!

100 lbs overweight & looks like he's 45. Plus, he "didn't do anything," so there's the trifecta appeal

And he’s eligible for parole? That’s the real mystery.

😊🇮🇪

🤔 🤦

Lol!

"Something happened!" These cops were like the new player at guitar center butchering their way through a popular rock riff on some demo gear. I guess it kinda sounds like the interrogation 101 class they were taught.

Lmao interrogation was trash

You can tell he was having a hard time even finishing a single thought. Poor guy

He sounds like someone who thinks his whole family was being stalked and victimized y a stranger over a period of time.

Yeah, I know this is very harsh of me, but it was honestly irritating me so much listening to him speak, because everything he said was so disjointed and had no coherent thread e.t.c. Poor guy man.

It must be difficult to recall every detail of the day, considering he didn’t know what was going to happen later in the day on top of seeing his wife deceased(murdered)

Yeah, and he was angry. Anger is usually a secondary emotion, showing up before the more vulnerable emotion(s) that fuel it.

Mike did you know there’s a page called “That Chapter” on the book of face using your channels name and logo but posting other truecrime UKpostsrs? I feel like they’re using your channel to draw attention to their own. It used to post your vids but now they’ve got a lot of followers it’s switched to another true crime UKpostsr. Lots of videos of Annie Elise from 10 to Life. Do you know about this or has she hacked your page to get your viewers? Or are you renting your brand out 😆

well in most social interactions people would just let it slide - or not really let it slide, they know you're bullshitting they just don't want to confront that and they will just avoid you in the future instead. some people just don't understand then why they aren't getting invites anymore.

They think they are nickel slick.They are not.he was a fraud and was exposed

This. Sociopaths usually aren't that smart. Most of them even have below average IQ. Not to say sociopaths are all violent, but a lot of them lie or do small shitty things that most polite people just ignore. It leads to some of them believing they are geniuses of deception, specially because they don't even notice (or care) when people leave.

True, it’s almost like they think police will say, fair enough, let’s take you at your word, we will say thanks for your input, we need to look elsewhere…

I dont know if tenacity is the word I would use, but I think you're onto something for sure. I would say that detectives have a nose for BS and they tend to be very confrontational about it. See, there are people who think these guys are full of it but they don't confront them on it, so they think that everyone is believing them about all of it. Then they go into one of these rooms, thinking they can pull the same nonsense but they get absolutely body slammed. Out inthe real world, they are the wolf and everyone else is the sheep but in the interview room, the r oles are very much reversed, and they arent used to being prey.

And sighing!

rite! everyone in jail said they r innocent!

Don't forget the sighing !!

*SIGH*

I didn't do anything either - Stephen McDaniel

I thought he looked super nervous too, at least very uncomfortable. He does that thing where he half gets out of his chair and can't sit still. I noticed myself doing this before (even though I hadn't done anything wrong), and it looks pretty bad. It was good to see some footage of an innocent but nervous person because we get so used to seeing just the guilty party

@@Lady_Phoenix Bruce became more fidgety and nervous as he spoke about Jeff. I think he began to realize what had really happened and was doing his dangedest not to accuse him.

@@haplessasshole9615 yeah you can see when he puts together that all the disturbances really only began after the fiance moved in and he shakes his head like he wants to banish the thought

He actually reminds me of how my dad and I would likely react in this type of situation. While I’d likely have bouts of being a crying broken mess, we’d both likely be distracting ourselves by focusing angry/frustrated energy towards trying to fix/solve whatever happened. (I’d likely also over share things from nerves and fear I’d accidentally leave out an important clue, I tend to do that with my doctors so I’d probably do that with criminal investigators. Which is why I’d definitely want a lawyer there if only to keep me focused and not panicking.)

Yeah he was acting so bizarre. Like his wife's brutal murder was a minor inconvenience to him. No t aes, no emotions, nothing. Just causal conversation.

I bet if he'd been honest with his future MIL and fiancé and told them he couldn't afford a big wedding, they would've gladly scaled it back, maybe had it at their house. Instead, he lied and stole until he couldn't get away with it anymore, then decided murder was a better option than being honest.

Because he didn’t have the property or money he ACTED like he had…there was a $500.00 check due for the wedding…. And once they were married they were to move into “one” of his properties.

The selfishness of narcissistic people like this pos is hard to wrap your head around. Even people who have experienced it first-hand find it hard to subsequently comprehend. Emotional empathy is the buffer that keeps normal people from acting this way because they're acutely aware of the impact their actions are having on others.

Yeah sounds like something a little kid would do. Like he never grew up. Like maybe his parents f-cked up.

He looks like a trump voter, end of story

Yes, there were red flags after Jeff moved in, and Bruce was suspicious. I wish he would've had cameras installed without Jeff knowing. What a burden Bruce was under. 😢

Yeah I remember doing the same thing and it was crazy cuz right there he starts to realizing

It sounds like they were kind, trusting people who unfortunately assumed everyone was like them. It wasn’t in their nature to be suspicious of loved ones. With a very sad outcome 😢

It's all that eating good in the neighborhood. This guy's got the chin line of your average Applebee's patron. Big ,round and plenty of extra pounds!

@@4bibimimi😂 you’re so naughty ~

I think it was only him who always (said he) seen someone. I don't think anyone else ever seen anyone. Like the father said he was never even home, but they believed him cause stuff kept going missing. Since the victim was worried about her son in law saying he seen people tring to break in & again, having stuff missing like her car keys, she would call & report it.

@@kaylaherman-gaspar4854 SAW. The past tense of "to see" is "saw." My god, you sound completely ghetto, and, I am quite sure you are not, being as you're a That Chapter fan!

Daughter probably had something to with it life insurance greed is a mfer

Hopefully she realizes it wasn't her fault. There's no way she could've suspected Jeff was capable of murder. It would be interesting to know what set Jeff off. His mother-in-law was paying for the wedding and allowing Jeff to live in her home for free. Pretty sweet deal for Jeff. Can't imagine throwing all that away.

@@derp8575 money dude he figures if his girlfriend would get a lot of money from the life insurance

@@williamknapp6521 The husband would be the main benefactor. It's not like Jeff was living in squalor. His mother-in-law looked like solid middle class. Maybe I am wrong. Either way he threw it all away. He will be in his 50s by the time parole becomes an option.

@@derp8575 all parents leave their kids money and btw it looks Jeff was mentally unstable so he was bond to killed someone sooner or later

Exactly. Thank you

That...and ....many people are married to people they aren't in love with anymore

@@lexiemaep7930 So sad but true! After 26 yrs and my 2 kids were holding their own in life…. I Had to go! I had turned into an alcoholic just to blur my days away…. I have love for the father of my children. I am Not IN Love with him. I didn’t want to raise them in a split home… Please for the love of anything…DONT DO IT! My kids are some kind of messed up bcuz it was not the ideal choice I made. Life is messy… You have to be good with yourself before you can be good with others.. “ Patti Philosophy” 😅 💙

He just sounds like he's having a minor rant about the state of the country. It's definitely a red flag even if that red ultimately didn't lead anywhere in this case.

@@mullenio4200 because they were stalked for a year and no one treated them seriously. I might have a mini rant about how fucked up the system is, if I tried to get help, but no one did anything and now I'm looking at my dead wife. I don't remember specifically the case, but Mike covered it (I know .. that narrows it down...) where dude was cracking jokes with the detectives (there was a line from Mike that police thought he was suspicious, because he was "making jokes one second and over the top with emotions the other"). The point is, again, everyone reacts different. This is kinda almost a textbook of what they tell you a guilty person would do, especially the over explaining. But that only goes to show, that there's nothing "textbook " in a situation like this 🤷🏻‍♀️ And I'm not saying it's wrong to have a first reaction of "hm... That's a sus 911 call", but people saw the whole video, know he didn't do it and still go off on Bruce like he actually did it. That's the wrong part.

BIG SPACE TOO...FAT FROM NOT WORKING AND EATING ALL THE FREE FOOD AT HIS IN-LAW'S HOUSE. What a loser. To kill the poor woman who was helping him and giving him a place to sit, and to take showers, and to lean back and relax. All free. He'll be thinner after a few months in jail. VIOLENT, PRISON COMPANION SAYS: "You didn't do anything?" "Try doing a bit of this."

More like a pathetic whimper

Hes such a whiny baby. He's so pathetic

He sounded like a child who was caught stealing a cookie out of a cookie jar.

💯%

One of the saddest things I ever heard 😢 if we can't understand how could explain it to this wonderful child 😢💔🙏

Yes, poor baby.

That is saddest shit i ever heard fr

That’s the part that hurts me the most! To this day he still looking for his mommy. 😢

Break my heart, poor kid. 😢

I hope you heal quickly and completely!

Prayers for healing my friend…

Prayers for a fast recovery ❤

He’ll have plenty of time to not “do anything”.

Accurate analogy. What an absolute pos.

After watching his interview, I think Bruce may have some form of autism.

Exactly what I was thinking lol

I found that a bit strange too. Probably he was in shock, and after some time passed the reality of it all really hit him. It’s happened to me before: loved one passed away while I was at work. I just kept working completely in a daze. One week later, after the funeral, I was alone, and suddenly broke down for the first time. Trauma is weird like that. You really have no way of knowing how you’ll react.

Yes!! We ALL would have sooo pinned the Hubby for this had it been framed differently, just from that call!! My wife is dead, I just got home??! Yeah right buddy!!

That's a chilling possibility. It's heartbreaking to think about. Let's honor Mel's memory and keep her family in our thoughts.

Good point!!!

whoa 🤯👀

I think he just hated the mother.

i think u mite be correct

Thank you for this.

How lovely that you found a way to communicate with a dear soul incapable of words ~

My husband had a cousin with Down Syndrome. Her young adult friends didn’t know why she wouldn’t get up at her funeral

So sad 😢

How? I find it so frustrating watching interrogation videos. Usually the sound quality isn't the best which makes it harder for me to sit through (Cc sometimes helps). I find if there's a narrator explaining/breaking down what the police are doing, that helps a lot too. But straight interrogation videos, I really struggle with them.

​@legoqueen2445 L, o, l, you're right, it is frustrating. Especially because he keeps sighing and sighing. And whining. I don't know. I think I probably get a satisfaction that his lies get called out at the end, I suppose.

Ughhhhhhh😤 **Sighhhhh** God it got irritating!

The one interrogation I can never watch again bc it’s the epitome of insufferable is the boyfriend who offed the college girl Yardley, and the whole time was saying “But I just wanted to TAWLK to her” in this awful half surfer bro half jock accent 😓 painful to watch. Painful. He probably says that 50 times no lie.

No, that 911 dispatcher wasn't being "rude." They aren't there to listen patiently until callers are done talking about things that aren't relative to the current situation. Their number one priority is to get as much *neccessary* information as quickly as possible and pass that information to the people they'll be sending to the location.

@@macklinillustrationI can’t not think about that now ~

That was funny. 😆

😆

The goal of an interrogator is not to treat a suspect with the level of respect they deserve. Their number 1 goal is to get the suspect to talk and confess. Those tactics are proven effective.

@@QualityQman​​⁠​⁠The only problem with that tactic, is the amount of times people have confessed even when they didn't do anything... These are not investigators, they are p¡gs.

Yes and no. They were hitting him with full offence, so he naturally went full defence. They needed to let him in a little and get him to admit to a less horrible narrative, like self defence, and then slam him after he opens the door

NEXT line: “Do NOT go into the BASEMENT!!” Followed by “Let’s hide behind the chainsaws!!”

I thought it was built on Rock & Roll????

@traybern hehehe 😂

I’m hoping if he did see something he didn’t understand. Growing up in public school systems you see a lot of special needs kids over the years and some of them don’t understand basic things, let alone serious things. Which isn’t their fault… but I’m hoping this was the only blessing he received out of it. That he didn’t understand.

@@shadominx3696 I hope so x

I said the same thing. Get something, anything to protect yourselves in your own home, especially with a baby there.
