Craig Rideout was having a difficult divorce from his wife Laura Rideout, who had moved in with his friend Paul Tucci. It seemed that she turned his children against him, and when he goes missing, not only Laura Rideout is acting suspicious.

That's why I got fired from WalMart. I kept calling the cops every time somebody bought a shovel and tarp at 2 AM
Roland Jenkins haha, cute
Good one!
@Daniel Hawkins yeah I'm high on meth! but that's besides the point
I know it shouldn't be funny but i literally cracked up at that. And I needed a laugh big time. Thank you for that
Lol
The fact that a mother would manipulate her children this way is disgusting.
Yes. That's what makes me so mad. I have two kids to two fathers - 12 years apart - and I have always supported my kids in their relationships with their daddies. I would never turn a child against their father - lucky us, I might not have picked the right men for long-term relationships, but they are good dads. I just couldn't ever begin to want to manipulate my kids this way.
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 you have good character and you're a good mom.
@@emmabbyreborns341 that's very kind of you, thankyou. I try :-)
I agree, its infuriating and terribly sad to see a mother do such a thing. Her manipulations are the reason for her whole family going to jail. I have 2 children and after my divorce I supported their relationship with their father, and would never ever do anything to discourage that. Children need a mom and a dad. Unfortunately I've seen many women use their children, for personal vendettas against ex husbands. And also demanding ridiculous sums of money which handicap the Dad for the rest of his life.
@@primesspct2 you definitely did right by them. mothers have the power to impact their children forever. Abusing that power is selfish and irresponsible. When we do the right thing, our children reap the benefits of that choice, and we are blessed through it forever.
Tucci getting acquitted is one of the craziest decisions I’ve seen on a true crime doc.. he was seen buying the exact items that were used to dispose of the body, he blatantly lied about Laura’s whereabouts, none of the items he purchased (for his home) were ever found at his home and his clothes were included in those being dumped.. wtf more does a jury need.
Juries can be extremely frustrating. Critical thinking seems to be a lost art.
@@jasmine7744 very much so... juries ought to require a certain amount of competency. Sure, jury selection is supposed to handle this; but clearly (based on this case and others Mike has done) it isn't always effectual
Seriously! Kinda obvious.
The interview at the end is crazy. People who lie so easily amaze me. The way they got caught dumping the bag,both cars getting seen on CCTV. Laura being caught at the scene,the items bought. How much does a jury need?
Never been inside the house… any fingerprints? The guy got off maybe one day they will exhume his wife. They are a bunch of mixed up individuals influenced and manipulated by a narcissistic mother.
This hits close to home. My mom manipulated my 3 older brothers into thinking that my dad is a bad and abusive person. When in reality, he’s the sweetest, selfless, smartest, funny, and humble person I know.
My mom threatened multiple times that she’d call the cops and make him go to jail. But luckily, I was the only one who believed in my father. I was also the only one who’s communicating to my father’s side of the family and they’re also very sweet and made me feel comfortable.
I genuinely fear for the worst if I didn’t stick with my dad.
So glad that I made him feel loved before he passed away…
RIP dad, Craig Rideout, and other countless of innocent souls who died tragically.
So great that you saw the truth and stood up for the truth snd for your innocent Dad. Bless you! Great way to read the room and you did the right thing💛
I've got a good friend who's grown daughter inexplicably turned against him and her own mother after getting married and having a kid. She was fine for the first year or so after the grandchild was born, then suddenly started making accusations that she was molested as a child (she never pointed a finger at anyone), and that my friend and her mom knew all about it and just turned a blind eye to it. Now whether she was molested or not is one thing, but if she had been, there's no way in hell my friend would have "allowed" it. It would have been the exact opposite. He would have been very likely to have caused great bodily harm to whomever the person was. My friend just can't understand what the hell happened in her mind, but she's not allowed them to see their grandchild ever since. It's been 3 years now since she did this. He's devastated by the whole thing, as is his wife I imagine.
That actually happened to me, my mother (consciously or not) convinced me for almost a decade that my father did awful things to her and I when I was really young. I’m still not entirely sure if that’s true but I have been building up my relationship with him for the past few years after my mother turned to alcoholism and emotional abuse and he has done so much for me, despite the fact I treated him like trash in my early and mid teens. He is truly a kind, selfless person, who genuinely cares about my well-being and I kick myself everyday for believing my mother for a second about him
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, BECAUSE I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH MY MOTHER AND TWO BROTHERS TURNING AGAINST MY BEAUTIFUL DAD. UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS MURDERED LEAVING ME TO GRIEVE ALONE WITH NO ONE TO TURN TO. I AM SO HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU HAD A LOVING RELATIONSIP WITH HIM BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HEARTFELT STORY!!!!
No one cares
"Laura was at home with me."
Laura was literally caught cleaning the crime scene by Craig's sister, I guess she has a twin.
The only reasonable explanation (sarcasm) these people are so ridiculous🙄. May Craig Rest In Peace.
Astral projection
But really it's a wonder how this man wasn't charged based on a false testimony, I guess the story he told the cops was different.
I can't believe they didn't charge him. But wait until one of the other three wanna talk for a deal... He won't live relaxed from now on at least.

Don't you know, that's Elon Musk's evil cyborg duh!!! lol
Craig looked like such a nice dude in pictures. His ex wife, not so much. Man she got evil written all over her face.
😂😂😂
Poor Craig. I guess some people are just born to be unlucky. Despite being a nice person, he was betrayed by his bestfriend, then murdered by his wife and sons. Life was so unfair to him.
It's not just luck. Not his fault of course but certain personality types are more at risk. Laura was probably narcissistic and preyed on his weaknesses
Kind people get preyed on by horrible people so often. It's so sad that this world is a cruel one for so many.
truth
Could've used a rubber honestly luck and destiny can be challenged by the smallest amount of will
@@persion8934 Yea, I think if he had a lot less kids this stuff would have never happened. I never understand families that grow their way to financial ruin, one child after another. I’ve seen it myself.
I shed a tear with this one.. his own best friend, children, and the woman he had those children with. I'm floored 😞
Tucci’s eyes tell it all. He’s soulless.
Think he killed his wife too. This guy has incredible luck to have walked away from this Scott free.
yes exactly. he is not a convincing liar at all.
He's nervous as hell in that post trial interview.
Anyone else just binge watch this guys channel for hours on end?
Yes🎖 I get into these binges as well.
Yes watched them all.
Averaging 4-6 a day, for a few wks now, starting to get concerned about supply running out, n going into withdrawals.
🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
Yup, I put it on while I'm at work
The son confidently bought a flat shovel and I imagine that when they tried to use it to bury the body they realized they couldn’t dig a hole with it so just left everything behind, even after they had been seen by a witness. This is a unique level of incompetence.
that's the kind of son who plans to kill his own father. a brainless moron
its not unique and that's the sad part
@Costa Zambaras ...yep, wrong type of shovel. Simpletons....
Yeah I caught that. Truly an idiot. So apparently he had never actually done any physical work. Use a shovel a few times and it's obvious round for digging and flat for shoveling snow/coal/rock etc. What a moron
bwahaha nice catch
This is heart breaking just hearing the kids dealing with that. My kid's dad told them I left because I wanted to go to the bar to meet guys,called me miss (maiden name) while talking to them-not mom. Went to conferences and had their teachers ask when they were moving out of state- NEWS TO ME! Joke's on him. I put them in therapy and just stayed polite. Now my kids see through it all and we are back to being closer than ever. I didn't have to play his game,I just had to do what was right and be patient- set an example.
Parents who put their kids through this deserve hell
Using kids as pawns in a twisted game.
@@Woman_in_the_Wilderness it's downright disgusting. Messes with their heads so bad
Tucci gave me shivers, hearing him talk so smugly about the murder.
"I don't do drugs or really drink or anything, just involved in some casual murder now and again and I see nothing wrong with that officer..."
It's a Hell of a hobby.
Of my own father who loved me
I cannot believe not ONE of his children had the decency to do the right thing.
I grew up with parents that...well, weren't fit to be humans. As a child being manipulated by both (separated before I was a year old)...sometimes it can get easy to believe the lies and manipulations as truth. Unfortunately, my sympathy ends when it comes to killing and/or covering up a murder because of said lies and manipulation.
You think all his kids knew what was going on?!
jk, I lied, they are
Well look at who their mother is!! Apples don't fall far from the tree..
Shits crazy when you have a manipulative parent. They tell you all these things, that the other parent doesn't love them and that they are all you need. Bam, delusion.
I just feel really sorry for the other children that apparently (hopefully) didn't hate their dad as they were...well, told to.
And on another note: MAD RESPECT for Robin, who knew that her brother had exactly 3 pairs of shoes....that's some close relationship, which makes this case even worse.
The three pairs of shoes also shows that money was tight, and like a good dad, he didn't spend the money on himself. His sister had noticed that.
My heart breaks for Craigs sister 💔
I wish her all the love and peace in the world ✨
Laura: GET ANGRY!
Craig: Nah, the power of chill compels me.
@@eW91dHViZSBpcyBjZW5zb3JzaGlw I really like the mental image because this case is just heartwrenching and I want to hope there's something better for kind people who are victimized by evil people like Laura and her horrible spawn. My own faith teaches that those that pass journey to the Summerlands to rest and be at peace before either taking their place as honores dead, watching over their loved ones, or reincarnate to their next life. Either way I hope Craig has found peace and kindness. What is remembered lives.
Dude had some good weed.
@@SofaKingShit what are you talking about?
Craig looked like such a nice dude in pictures. His ex wife, not so much. Man she got evil written all over her face. She got that resting angry bitch face.
Of course, after using your shovel, drain cleaner, gloves, and bungee cords to help with moving, it's tradition to get your sons to dispose of them by throwing them into the nearest lake.
😂
Honestly after moving so much we have burned through so many shovels, drain cleaners, gloves & bungee cords. I'd love to save money but traditions have to be respected.
Maybe the lot of 'em were framed by Greta Thunberg.
😂
And into a body of water called: ”The Devils Bathtub”, no less!!! ”Who ARE, these PEOPLE??!!” - in my best Seinfeld voice-over 😂😂
i grew up with these kids. colin dated my older cousin and accompanied us on many family vacations and stayed at our house quite a bit. this case shook the whole community. the family had their issues but none of us saw this coming
This happened in my hometown. Colin was engaged to 1 of my classmates daughter. This whole story ripped the hearts out of many people.
I do believe that he had something to do with it and that Tucci was totally involved.
I feel so sad for Craig. Gut wrenching episode. Imagine knowing at your final moments that your own kids gleefully participated in your violent death in your very own home!
RIP Craig🌹
It was probably Paul who killed him TBH but you never know alright.
@@makavelismith whether this Paul character killed him or not it would definitely crush him knowing that his ungrateful children participated in anyway!
Yeah, that's a pretty heartbreaking thought..
A0. Wr n ease
This one has really got me. Those kids really were poisoned against their father and some of them obviously dangerously so. It's so sad to see. Craig was obviously not the monster the mother painted him to be and she ruined them. What a bitch. Devastating for the younger children.
Nice to see they turned against each other at the end like the snakes they are.
Yeah I think that made them look even more guilty. Why turn on each other if none of them had anything to do with it?
@@marthapozo4881 And yet the other guy says they were at home all evening watching TV. Disposing of blood-soaked clothes in the forest and buying the tarp the body was disposed in was all completely innocent.
No, it wasn't. It's actually a very common strategy that defenses use. If they can get both people to turn on each other it confuses the jury and leaves reasonable doubt since they can't prove who was really responsible. This is especially important in 1st degree cases since it squashes motive. I'm shocked they were found guilty of 2nd degree and not first.. blows my mind. It's too bad, that guy that got away with it is guilty as hell and deserves to be punished
@Dustin Wilson I never understood why the US justice system allows for such a farce of justice. Just like plea deals. Those don't serve justice, they serve to make it easier on "the system".
More likely they did that to throw enough doubt at the jury to end in a mistrial or a verdict of not guilty. It's actually a pretty well used strategy and one that has worked numerous times in the past.
The way Tucci talks about him, “That guy…” like he was never a best friend you betrayed in the most horrible way. Tucci got away with murder for sure. And the mother manipulating the children, what a monster.
I love how you post the case under the name of the victim. Remember the those who lost their lives not those who take them.
I've moved 7 times in my life. I've never bought tarp, bungee cords, or multiple bottles of drain cleaner for ANY of those moves. Even when I had professional movers move me, they did not bring tarp, bungee cords, or a single bottle of drain cleaner. I guess I've just been moving wrong all these years.
But they did buy those items because they were moving. Moving craig’s body that is.
@@wendieta lmao good one!🤣
lmao noob
I find that hard to believe. If I were moving and didn't have any drain cleaner on hand, I wouldn't be able to lift a single piece of furniture. Good for you though if you figured a way around it.
Only weird things on that list which as odd moving items is the drain cleaner and shovel.. If you haven't moved using tarps or bungee cords to cover your mattress or couch while it's on a trailer or the box of a truck...that leaves me with questions. You either live in a desert so rain and water damage isn't an issue during your moves, you're so poor that you don't have a couch or mattress to cover, or you're so rich that you've never physically moved your own stuff before?? It's gotta be one of the three...😳
“I could be making a mountain out of a molehill”
The hopelessness and desperation in her voice, is so heartbreaking. It’s as if she’s saying “Please let me be making a mountain out of a molehill”
That choked me up.
Seriously. It's ingrained in my mind forever now.
I'm even more grateful for the way my mom and dad's divorce went. Neither parent tried to manipulate us against the other. My mom never spoke a bad word that I remember against him. He wasn't the most present father then... And she let us see that for ourselves. As adults now he's turned around completely and with the grandkids he's absolutely the best grandpa.
I couldn't imagine what it would have been like if they had pitted us against the other 😞
wow stories like yours make me smile :) it reminds me everything is possible. i hope every good finds us and we are able to find the good in everything.
@@nazzy101 ty, my mom is the absolute best role model ever. When I divorced my kids father I followed her lead and while it killed me and I wanted to rage and cry and scream that he didn't want them. I didn't. I stepped away, cried my frustrations out and then let them try to call or text. And when that didn't come. I comforted them and gave them all of the love I could to make up for it 😥
My dad, as we got older has taken each of us kids aside and apologized from the bottom of his heart.
He was meanest to my oldest brother so there's probably still tension there but he always is there now when we need him, my mom has always been too 💙💜
Very blessed with our family
I'm truly blessed to have gone through a amicable divorce. I was going through a lot of mental health struggles, alcoholism, drugs...I knew my kids needed to be with their dad a nd he never tried to keep them from me. Never talked bad about me and vice versa. As my kids are getting older we've had long talks about what was going on back then and they honestly told me they were proud of me for leaving and working on getting myself better. I have the most amazing kids and am living a blessed life.
My youngest daughter had a school performance yesterday and her sister, dad and step mom and I all sat together and watched her show.
I don't know why our situation was so much better but I thank the heavens daily that it's so.
The Dateline episode of this is emotionally overwhelming.
How much control a person or people had to utterly destroy an entire family is depressing.
Damn that guy at the end can lie and lie and lie without feeling no remorse. They were caught red-handed and he still says they were at home with him. His ass should have gotten at least a 25 year sentence himself.
I can't believe no one but that cop seemed to question him. He said THEY WERE HOME WITH HIM. WHEN ROBIN SAW HER AT HIS HOUSE CLEANING UP SHE WASNT WITH HIM, THE BOYS HAD BLOODY EVIDENCE IN BAGS. Like come on there's 0 way he WASNT involved.
Yeah, if you get away with murder, at least have the decency not to comment. Why do these morons always go to home depo and buy stuff like tarps, rope, two cinder block and nothing else. Geeze at least do it like a teenager buying condoms. Mix it in with other things.
“I had to fix up my house”, but only buy things used to bury a body AND that’s found with the body. Not sure what the rules are in that state, but pretty obvious he was at least guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.
Good point about the saying the others were there with him. Yeah, in theory it could be possible he was just along for the ride and had no clue what they were doing while buying all the tools for the murder coverup - but it’s obvious that all three of them couldn’t have possibly been with him, so he’s guilty as well - at least of covering it up.
Was thinking the same thing
The jury system is past its use by date. What defendant truly has his/her peer group as jury? The pool is so limited, then gets smaller when certain people have to be dismissed. Then, the media is all pervasive these days so no-one can truly be untainted with an opinion.
How could they all have hated him that much? That poor, sweet man.
They took after her!
The “not a black man” comment confirmed to me that he was a good dude
@@fulcrum7455 some people are just very literal especially programmer types
Psychopathy is known now to have a partly genetic component. You can inherit it, and it seems that some of the kids in this case did just that.
They took after the malignant narcissist mother and a decent man paid the price. All the bastards should have gotten life with no parole for what they did.
This is the prime example of not involving your children in adult issues. To turn your children against the other parent and have them participate in their parents murder is absolutely digesting and how could she live with herself after she ultimately destroyed all her children's lives.
It is screamingly funny how people have cell phones, email, Facebook and Twitter, but seem not to be aware how much of their lives are fully transparent to everybody, even the police. Not to mention those CCTV cameras.
Absolutely disgusting that a woman would go so far as to turn her kids against their dad so much they thought it was fine to kill him! Great video Mike, as usual!
They were weak-willed to be able to be manipulated to that extent. Very spineless people.
How dumb could those kids be.
Millions and millions of women do their best to turn their children against their fathers every year.
It's standard female behavior .... as is divorce. It's profitable --- an excellent ploy for THEM in divorce courts because those courts are extremely prejudiced against men.
Women claim 'men won't commit' yet 80% (90% in California) of ALL divorce is initiated by the female.

And why did the victim end up in the Tarp that Tucci purchased?
🤣😂🤣
@@SnarkierThan-U-R Because he's very touchy
MrBrucelee117 I think she was trying to get him to slip up on his answers. Kinda like poking around without truly accusing him so he would just walk away. If a criminal feels the interview is too intense they can just choose to leave, this way he gets more and more nervous pondering on what his answers will be if they ask about more detail stuff.
Rest in Peace, Craig! Tucci guy had everything to do with this. He will get his when the time comes.
I hope he meets someone that’s as sick as him but ends up turning on him instead of having him help with get another murder.
I don't know if I'm about to start my period, or if one of the other cases still has me effed up from the other day, but damn if I'm not crying hearing about Craig's fate. Like... what the hell is wrong with people? I have no faith in humanity already, but hearing some of these stories are just effing heartbreaking. And her smiling and looking so lighthearted while buying supplies to *murder* her husband just made me so angry.
Crazy case. How does a woman get her kids to help kill their dad, when I can’t get mine to rinse their cereal bowl and put it in the dishwasher?
Valerie Foster 😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
Maybe the normal ones don't do dishes?? Good lord, don't let him see this. lol He won't do anything lol
French blue8 pretty sure it was autocorrect and that they meant ‚rinse‘ :)
@@OfficialSternSolera Thanks. I swear I couldn't figure that out.
It shows even more how narcissistic the mother is. To turn on her own children, especially when the main point of this pointless, cruel act was to have full custody of all of them.
Yep, Good call. That's exactly what I thought. At first I was thinking maybe Craig was emotionally abusive. Even getting custody of two of the kids doesn't really debunk that. But the longer I listened and heard the part about parental alienation, I knew it was her that was the abusive one.
LESismore I think what it REALLY shows (& of course, you’re right, it's all her true narcissism), is that she just couldn't let him win, anything. The kids had to choose her, & unless those kids finally start talking publicly about the true nature of their mother & the lengths to which she would go to as far as the head games it took to turn them against their own father (way before even the murder), most will never know all the lies she told them over those years. They had to be pretty awful. I had never heard about this case until Mike did this chapter. I'm so curious now to look up the courtroom testimony & how they all started turning on each other. This woman makes Mommy Dearest look like Snow White. Diabolical & evil to the core.
Exactly!
Yeah, but listening to that kid Colin talk to police trying to play all innocent, he’s clearly his mother’s son. He is the most manipulative little shit I’ve ever heard.
Maybe her own children were no angels. Didn't need to be "turned"
It's disgusting that she even dragged her own kids into the murder of their father. She brainwashed and manipulated them to help her get what she wanted
11:30 I've never seen two people look more happy and excited to buy murder tools before. It's honestly mind blowing how evil people can be. I could never imagine killing anyone yet alone the husband of my 7 children. Like is divorce and moving on just not good enough. Call me old fashioned but I just can't comprehend that.
Sick, twisted people, youre right they looked like they went shopping for clothes and shoes at harrods with a limitless budget. Absolutely mad.
They has SEVEN children? I thought they had four.
Paul Tucci is absolutely guilty and cocky in the interview... That whole interview literally made me sick to my tummy.
Yeah he definitely got to skate! Its not much solace, but at least he's stuck seeing his beau in prison blues🤷♂️
Nah hell move on
Like the police should have had him bring them to the tarp, draino and bungee cords that he claimed he needed.... he claims everyone is innocent yet somehow lost the items he apparently said were essential to moving.
Haven't heard anyone say tummy since I was referred to as a little booger. Lol
he's a ripe piece of shit. I had a"friend" like him. He won't wait for her in prison because that's how shitbags roll.
This is beyond horrible. Imagine getting betrayed by your best friend, wife and own child. This really got me and it will take days now to clear my head
That's how the Becky Watts case was for me. Hit me hard
@@MA__ Oh sure that was crazy too
This was just horrible :( how can a mother convince the children that killing their father is a good idea. How is this possible? :( just heartbreaking 💔
@@MAnna-tq9hg Betrayal by everyone you cared for.
There are some psychoes that scarr us for life! For me, it was that f*ing souless idiot that used to kill baby cats! I had nightmares for months! I wish he rot in Hell!

Also touchie: "Police have no evidence that he was killed inside the basement."
Me: so you killed him where you dumped him then?
Great point. Strangled almost to death, then the acid stuff later. I can't believe Tucci isn't in jail. And 2nd degree? Doesn't make sense.
Thanks so much Mike for making these gems. The only collateral damage incurred is that I have to check my locks a couple of times an evening when enjoying a binge but that’s a decent payoff from all the work you’ve put into these. Thanks again.
Can you imagine the “oh shit” feeling Alex and Colin had when the cop showed up at Devil’s Bathtub? 😂
It said they didnt know the body had been discovered yet, so they thought the bag of stuff wouldnt be suspicious
How did the cops get there so fast?
13 Amp I think a bag full of bloody clothes and drain cleaner would seem suspicious regardless 😳
it's a very busy park. The Monroe county sheriffs keep their horses there. I can remember a time I've been in that park and not seen a cop. The pond is a known smoking spot so the cops check it often.
MsMaryPatricia dude u could tell right away he was lying lmfaooo😂😂 he tells the cop his drug history , he dosent go to parties, or drink, and that he’s 19 and going to college next year .. when asked what he’s doing there ? Are u a total dumbass or something ??
If they bought the tarp, bungees, drain cleaner, shovel etc. to use in moving, how did it all end up with the dead guy out in the woods?
He didn't specify what they were moving.
@@troyc4841 mike said it earlier remember they were moving to north carolina
Total coincidence 🙄
The cloth itself had truck load of Blood and DNA evidence on the children! Hope they all die in prison!
@@troyc4841 if you watch the Dateline episode, yes, P specifically said they bought it for moving certain items and the drain cleaner for the daughter's long hair and clogging up drains.
Move along 🤣
No way Paul Tucci did not have a hand in Craig’s death. The jurors that acquitted him should be ashamed of themselves. What an absolute failure on their parts
In that interview with a t.v. reporter, father Tucci was a pretty bad liar. “Duper’s Delight” micro expressions flitted across his face a couple of times, too. As for Laura? She’s the one who drove this murder. Completely poisonous.
Thanks, Mike! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
At this point, if I ever shop at Walmart I'm going to assume at least half of the people there are buying murder supplies.

@Trevor B 19 years old isn't a child...he damn well knew what he was doing.
@@fulcrum7455 i guess abusive families and relationships don't exist. but sure, be disappointed.
@Trevor B just don’t kill your dad😂
"Not a black man" his heart is pure..he knows that Even its about him that someone who has want to do him harm,he specifically and clearly said someone wearing black hoody and not a black man so that no black man can be blame..he still care for others even its life is in danger...so heart breaking how his kids turn their back at him..
This one made me so incredibly sad. The guy seemed so kind and just normal and he had his own children turned against him by this poisonous woman.
"not a black man"
How beautiful he specified so there could be no racist assumptions 😭
This is a tragedy..... He was such a good man. 😭😭😭
EXACTLY i caught that ! very very good observation ! so clear he was NOT a jerk.
💕
I was hoping somebody caught that cause he made sure to say that and make sure saying dark figure didn’t turn into “a black man did it” I hate these evil people hurt him and took a good man away from his kids(the ones that love him) and this world.
He didn't say it to ensure "no racist assumptions" were made. He said it to clarify what he said immediately prior. . . that being that he saw a "dark figure". Assuming it could have been a black man after being told it was a "dark figure" is NOT a racist thing to do!
@wally man He clarified because he didn’t want the dispatchers to think it was a black man. It doesn’t mean it could not have been one, but he didn’t know, so he wanted to make sure they made no assumptions. It was very honorable of him to specify that. Imagine being pressed by something like this.
"Why are you buying grenades, rifles and napalm"?
"Err, duh, I'm moving?!"
Makes sens
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seems legit
Termites.
I love that the Walmart employees weren’t wondering why they were getting a bungee cord and tarp
So this murder is from my hometown near Rochester -- I went to highschool with the Rideout kids, didn't know them personally but DEFINITELY knew them after this case broke. Recently, my uncle was telling us about how, since he had his own dentistry in Rochester, Laura Rideout was a patient of his and would come in to get her teeth cleaned while the trial was going on -- always said she was as cold and calm as they'd come, no trouble in the world despite all that she had done. They even had to call on my uncle for teeth records to help identify Craig's body since it was so disfigured. Absolutely horrifying. I know all small towns say this, but it was something no one expected the Rideout kids to be involved in, and nothing has quite topped the horrific nature of this crime in my hometown since
What kind of best friend steals your wife then tries to kill you wtf
As I near 30 (turdy), I sometimes feel lonely and unfulfilled for being single...but then I hear stories like this and I have to think "eh, could be worse"
You were born free and single. Don't give it up for no idiot. Best time of your life.
I’m turdy tree and have five kids. I have no freedom. 😕
@@renaissancefitness3515 5 kids, that's a whole lot of home schooling during lockdown 😁
I know right👍😂🍻
Well, I’m nearing turdy nine, so FORTY 😭 Single again and the baby making years have likely passed, so hug those 5 kiddos tight and think about the alternative
Thank God for that farmer that found the body so fast. He really followed his intuition AND FOUND A DEAD BODY
Yes! He has such a comical way of reporting these horrendous crimes and thoroughly provides background.
My mind cannot comprehend how this monstrous woman involved her own children in patricide. I just can’t. Thank goodness Craig’s sister went to check on him. They may never have found him.
That poor bloke - RIP Craig Rideout - you deserved so much better than you got. X
deadass dude got shafted
@@purodeathcore oi boil in the bag - that's a touching comment
I love how the means to a "new start" is always murder, which most of the time puts you in jail
Gucci was Craig’s best friend, yet he has NEVER been in his home, even prior to the affair to his wife?
Craig had only moved into that townhouse after the divorce and that's when Tucci began seeing Laura so that would explain why he'd never been in that house
"There was a whole list of things we needed" okay but... Everything you purchased was used in the murder so...
Its often a sign that someone is lying when they feel the need to give long answers to questions. He definitely looked like a liar at the end there.
I would in the pokey, I always waaay to long. I have been informed by my supervisor that I need to slow my role and not be Hemingway.
Bon Bon D Lol! Cute🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😃
@@sdahley lolll
Especially saying none relevent information, like that to garner pity or paint someone in a particular light.
@@sdahley Lol me too but I'm autistic so find it difficult to identify what info the other person is asking for. I also personally like a lot of info so tend to assume everyone else does too.
I've noticed that neurotypical people who lie, like murderers, tend to add in non relevent emotional language to distract from the facts, rather than add to them.
Laura “oh i love my sons so much I would kill for them” *actually kills for them* Laura on trial “it was my son, not me! Send him away for life”
Ironic considering this was all about custody
I would kill for my furbabies.
@@CrimsonSlytherin happened to me too buddy
@@stasha7838 Killing in self defense or to protect another life is different. That's reasonable. I doubt you would murder your spouse just to move out of state with them.
I'm eyeing my son with suspicion now. Thanks, Mike!
This Paul Tucci thing. Seeing his wife, I might have heard that before.
Interestingly, I was thinking "How did she find a man who happened to be willing to murder her ex husband?"
This suddenly makes sense if he did kill his wife.
These are just all awful people. How did they find each other?
I can’t believe that man is free. He’s just out there doing interviews and chilling
Disgusting
Specially when u see how smug he looks. what a piece of shit
Where's he live? I'm sure something can accidentally happen to him
But I'm impressed he didn't blink when lying.
What's the evidence against him? The mother and sons turned on each other, but did they testify against him?
it really tells you about Craig Rideout's character, despite being in a family who would back stab each other he kept trying to keep them together. He really didn't deserve what happened to him.
This is the greatest true crime channel on any platform. Mike, your a fantastic story teller. I do my best to let all the ads play through. Keep up the good work!
I like his little explanation at the end
I wonder if they were able to prove that he still had all the garbage, the tarp specifically
I go to church with a judge. I asked him one time how often he sees the worse ever crime. He said at least once a year. _"The bastards keep raising the bar."_
I was watching one of the Leverage writers' commentaries (it's worth getting the show on DVD just for the commentaries, honestly) and one of them used to be a lawyer. They asked him what the worst con he'd ever heard of was and he instantly starts recounting the story of this lawyer who used his Jewish background to steal the retirement money of several Holocaust survivors.
I forget the name, but it's a specific type of con where you target people from the same cultural background as you, the idea being that your marks are more trusting of you because the commonality.
I’m sure he meant “lowering the bar.”
@bodd boward to me raising the bar connotes achievement so...lowering the bar is better..just my opinion
@@touchofdumb I get what you're trying to say, but i think it's like when someone's chewing you out and they say, "You've really outdone yourself this time!". Based on connotation alone, you would assume that means something positive... but based on the context you understand it actually means the opposite. So I think the inital comment was more like "they keep raising the bar for how much of an asshole someone can be", rather than "they lowered the bar for the depths of depravity to which a human can sink "... Tomato tomahto 🤷♀️
@@thepanpiper7715 Was there a Law and Order based on that?
I cant believe the exact items bought were found on the body, yet Paul claims they were part of the move. He's certainly got away with Murder.
Right?! Was he ever able to prove it wasn’t HIS tarp found with the body?
I strongly dislike his face..
Where is his tarp and other items?
Can he produce them?
Yes, but everyone knows he's a killer. He won't have a nice life.
Pretty unbelievable that he can sit there and bullish!t like that on camera when there’s so much evidence against him. Judicial system failed in this case.
I love that you cover so many stories from the area I live in/grew up in. I remember this happening. It was terrible. You covered details about the event that I don't remember catching on the news. Thanks for this.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AND MY DAD, MY EVIL MOTHER AND HER SONS TURNED AGAINST HIM, AND EVENTUALLY MY DAD WAS POISONED FOR HIS LAND AND WEALTH. I AM THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY. BUT THERE IS NOT ONE DAY THAT I STOP MISSING MY LOVING FATHER!!!! HE WAS THE KINDEST AND SWEETEST MAN THAT I COULD EVER KNOW. AND I FEEL PREVILAGED TO BE HIS DAUGHTER!!!!!
Why 2nd degree murder? Doesn’t going to Walmart, as a family, to buy the murder weapon, assigning each one a job to do after the murder. Laura cleans the house, the sons dispose of the bleach and bloody clothes and Mitch ditches the body, all add up to premeditation.
New York limits what can be a first degree murder charge (murder with torture, murder for hire, murder of a police officer, etc). A murder, even a meticulously planned one, without those elements is automatically second degree.
Exactly
The texts planning everything out was premeditation...1st degree is more appropriate. Just sayin
Damien Eve absolutely premeditated
Kimberly Old School
Well he was beaten and garotted! Isn't that torture?! It was premeditated.
How could a mother brainwash her children so badly? Heartbreaking.
I'm at 8:26, please tell me this has a happy ending
Meet a woman in a bar.
Have 7 kids with her.
What could possibly go wrong?
Young minds are the most impressible.
I see it all the time especially when there's a divorce, just because the mother ends up hating the father she will say anything to get the kids on her side like making a preferably nice guy into the devil
She's a monster, but they aren't victims here. You don't just "get talked into" murdering your father over a custody dispute, those two are terrible people with or without their mother.
This case really is sooooo heartbreaking 💔 Craig sounds like a really nice guy, even though I know there’s “3 sides to every story”, in his phone call though, you can just hear how he’s calm and collected but obviously I’m sure he was agitated. That mom and those older children are vile and there’s a very special place in hell for those types of people.
R.I.P Craig. He seemed like such a sweet man. Even during his call he specified that it wasn't a black man to avoid racial profiling. I can't imagine the sense of betrayal he must have felt being violently murdered while his own kids participated. I can't believe not one of them defended him or did the right thing.
My wife ran off with my best friend.
I still miss him.
Thats no friend bro :/
@Twenty Hah, hah, that's a good one. My wife turned my kids against me, and took my cat. I still miss my cat. I hope you're still alive Flipper wherever you are.
Fucking idiots. It's a joke!
Maybe if you tried to talk to your wife, she would come back with your friend and have an open relationship.
Jk it's funny when people don't know others are joking on RUclips when it's so blatant
Lol. Biggest and best laugh of the day!! Thanks
Paul's fast speech and deer-in-the-headlights look at the end... Yeah. He's guilty.
Right!? Twitchy, guilty, buggy eyed murderer.
What a creep. He's a really bad liar, and incompetent murderer.
Yeah and I wish the reporter had asked him to explain away the blood stained clothes that were proven using DNA to belong to ALL of them.
"I've never been in the house of.. that guy." Your best friend? Your new girlfriend's husband?
This fucking Judas.
Not to mention he was happy to explain "myth busters has a nice episode showing how one person can move a body"
Diabolical indeed. Paul got lucky. Hopefully Karma will catch up with him. My Prayers go out to the friends and family. 💔
25:20 "What do you do when you move? There's things to repair, drains to move, wives ex-husband to ki.... Kites to fly? No, I was never at that address!"
Each time she asked him if he murdered the guy he would say "no, I was never at that place." How he was acquited shows how good of a liar and murderer he truly is.
The second someone mentions the victim may be “going to Mexico” they should be fully investigated
Haha, so true, or when they say “some drug addict must have broken in my house and stabbed my wife 88 times.”
It sounds like someone was watching too much TV.
Chris Raimondi Reminds me of that one lady recently that killed her kid and then tried to say two black guys with dreadlocks car jacked her looking for drugs (🙄) and then took her non-verbal son... ya because they decided out of the two of them to leave the witness that COULD speak because that makes a ton of sense
I am from mexico xd and that´s true
wasn't Belize?
This is so sad. That poor man! His own family plotted, executed, and covered up his murder. Just heartbreaking.
The fact that it was just second degree when they clearly bought all the cleanup supplies beforehand....
Whenever I move I always buy a bungee cord, tarp, lots of drain cleaner and a shovel. Any then I throw away all my bloody clothes in a lake right after.
Paul was his best friend but never stepped foot in Craig’s house.... hmmmmm
Agree
Also the fact he mentioned his house as an address instead of just Craig's house
maybe he wasn't actually killed in the house. maybe one of the boys hit him and knocked him out and then carried him outside and he was killed somewhere else. he is very adament that he was never in that specific house, not that he wasn't involved in any way. he just never went in the house.
He never stepped into the house his best friend moved in to after he was cheated on by best friend and wife.
That, uh, makes sense to me.
I'm not calling Paul a liar but I ain't calling him a truther!
I've never heard of a family ganging up on one member to kill them. Especially when they are not obviously violent or abusive towards the family
That really threw me too.
Children are not possessions..
Narcissistic mother turned the kids against him
There is another case I'm trying to remember. Mom (ex), daughter, daughter's bf, & son all killed their father in the foyer of his home. I don't think he was good like Craig Rideout. I think he had a young girlfriend he moved into their home. But no one deserves being brutally murdered by their own family unless you are truly despicable evil person.
Never heard of Wendi Adelson's family?
he was a weak male ..weak males get eating alive...but it's still crazy what happened to him doh
OMG You covered a case where I live!!!! Been binging you for a month now. You're great!!!!!
I love coming back in like a long time after you post a video to see all the growth you’ve made since posting it. I feel like it helps me get to know you better, cuz….I LUV YA❣️🤟🏼
Cali out ✌🏼
So to reiterate "Clickity Clackity" is accounting.
"Clackity clackity" is programming.
Ah, there was a difference. Thanks for the clarification. I was slightly irritated.
When we figure out what profession goes clackity clickity we will transcend.
Probably something to do with horses.
You made it to Twitter mate, congrats
Thanks for clearing that up. Course catalogs are getting too complicated nowadays and you never know what you’re signing up for 🤷♀️
@@BurnEdOutOne hm, I'm good at accounting, I like IT (not the horror clown, the computer) related stuff, I own a horse... I'm already transcended it seems.
It's so god damn chilling to watch them shop for all the items. Something about it is so creepy. And they look like normal people you pass by in a grocery store.
They look like they are discussing going for coffee after
Probably because they're a family. Which is even more fucked up.
23:15 He's lying his ass off.
@Captain Obvious whaaaat? No....most “murderers” look like you and myself and that's the dangerous part. Just in movies they look like some villains.
@@JeramiaValentine LOL
This is sooooo sad! I will NEVER understand how someone can take another persons life....NEVER!!! I especially can't understand how it could at the hands of my very own family...😭💔😭💔😭!! Prayers, love, & light to ALL🙏💗🙏💗
I was in the jury pool for this trial and sitting in the same room as them only a few yards away was so creepy.
Craig has an awesome sister, you can tell they had a close relationship. She knew how many pairs of shoes her brother owned.
How does a seemingly nice guy like that marry and give birth to such greasy people???
Because people will unfortunately lower their standards in order not to be alone. Sad but true
Easy - the huge mistake. He married her.
Easy. He met his wife in a pub. I've met women in bars and clubs before.. great sex, beautiful... and....mostly sociopaths...(but not all thankfully lol). This wife actually looks like half of them.
Narcism and Gamma male behavior to the extreme
My brain can’t never comprehend doing that amount of evil
To your own earthly father big yikes
he stuck it in crazy
I just dropped in to say that this is my favorite one of the true crimes channels I just love how this guy sets these stories up… They are perfectly concise and minus all the nonsense that you get in the shows on reg tv
I thought I had seen all of your episodes and then I watch this one and I’m like how did I miss this crazy freaking video? Now I have to go through and make sure there aren’t more I missed! This was awesome as usual Mike and I’m glad I gave it a goo!
I’d say this was one of Mike’s best 😁
