He’s not guilty of anything but still brought his attorney. This man is already smarter than 98% of people in these videos
Problem is most people don't have one and they are costly. If you ask for one they have to pay for it I believe!! Especially if they arrest you.
because he knows the business this why.
It's common. The killers
tend to ignore their rights because
they're AFRAID that it'll make them
look guilty. So, yeah. 🤣
he’s a pig so he knows how to work the system
Yet the lawyer did nothing. There were several points he should've interjected but he just sat on his ass.
If you're guilty, you need an attorney. If you're innocent, YOU REALLY NEED AN ATTORNEY.
The police are not your friend ❤
The difference in how the police are treating him is amazing.
Why? If they are guilty they should admit to everything and deal with the consequences of their evil.
Yea no shit.
I mean this dude said everything he knew honestly before the lawyer even arrived. Not sure how a lawyer will impact in a significant way after this,.
This man trusted his wife more than I trust myself.
My wife keeps me out of trouble.
Ngl I chuckled reading this 😂
i trust my wife more than myself
LMAO,that CAT had him...lol
And look where that got him.
His lack of details just strikes me as someone who was happy with his life, and felt no need to be suspicious of anything, since he felt everything was going just fine.
Exactly what I thought. And it sounds like he was content with his financial situation.
Exactly this
Yup
Too babied, he should know how much he is using a month and how much of a debt he is putting his family into. She did way to much for him financially (paying his child support, his truck, house renovations, ect) I don't care if you are content or not he should have known his fanatical situations but that's my opinion. Be that as it may murder is no way to fix fanatical issues
@@Dinogal_123 you can’t even spell pipe down
For the people saying that he should have known because he's a PI, when you go home to your partner and family at the end of the day, you don't usually start profiling and investigating them. You put blinders on to the ones closest to you.
No, this guy is literally so distant from reality it's bizarre
I do, stay one step ahead
I don’t know. When you’re in that line of business usually your gut instinct tells you something is up. I think he knew more than he was letting on, I’m not saying he was involved, but he’s also smart enough to position the narrative that he is naive, which conveniently means he can not have to answer too many questions, he just “doesn’t know”. I’m not saying he was involved, just saying he’s smart enough to handle this situation with the easiest defence. Also smart enough to have a lawyer sitting next to him 😉
@@rob_m love man, love makes people do crazy things. Lol You’ve never had a buddy who was in love with a crazy chick? They totally ignore all the red flags, basically give the person benefit of doubt in every situation. Aka a mother learns her son murdered someone. “No I don’t believe it, my baby would never hurt a fly.” Cop - your son stabbed someone 20 times. 🤣 I’m not finished the video yet but I actually believe this guy. His blind trust in finances says a lot. I don’t think my wife would steal from me but I’m also not having her do things like pay for a deck. Too many dudes see a woman and think ok I can rip this lady off.
His wife obvs wasn't worried about his police-skills; he seems more concerned with drugs than murder..
holy crap... theres actually a lawyer with him!! i'm so used to people waiving that right it's almost a shock to the system to see one lol
You can tell he is not a suspect doe at no point did they read him his miranda rights
He used to be a cop, he knows how dumb it is to talk without one...
It’s interesting to see the guilty ones usually talk without a lawyer. They can’t help themselves lol
@@davidklein521 did he tell you that
@@dougjohnson8610 if you watch the video he does say he was a cop in like the first 2 minutes
the only two things you need to know about this man is that he (1) doesn’t know anything and (2) doesn’t associate with people who do drugs
Love people that make the immorality of drugs their whole personality.
Poor guy. When he says that he’s very good at judging people & is never wrong… while wife gets arrested for murder 😳
Great example of being blinded by love 😞
Was she actually found guilty?
I am 52, lived an interesting life, and I believe that one of the most powerful forces on earth is the human ability to be in denial, particularly about those we love. Done it myself. It is an excruciatingly painful experience to learn that a person you love and trust is despicable and truly evil. And intelligence and life experience does not limit one's ability to be in denial.
Well said I couldn’t agree more.
Extremely well said! ❤
100%
Mother in law - nailed her
Interesting. Good comment, I hadn’t heard this point of view before
I’ve watched dozens of these and he was smart enough to bring his attorney in with him so he’s smarter than 99% of the people in his position. I feel bad for him
Well he is involved with law enforcement… and he’s financially able to acquire an attorney before going in.
@@BokushingusKendoTV I just watched a police chief being interrogated and he invoked his right, but just continued to talk anyway. Seasoned police chief who knew he should have a lawyer, said he should probably talk to one but never committed and continued answering the questions anyway.
@@TBonerton ohhhh I saw that one!!! But to be fair that guy seemed a little bit off or drugged or something, but he didn’t seem to be mentally competent.
This didn’t cost him upfront. @@BokushingusKendoTV connections.
@Patricia Carole Von Dyche I believe you guys.
I just remember a fellow Kendo teammate, who was an attorney, saying they had to pay him first. So i thought that was the case here since he seems to be financially stable.
Its safe to say that he had no idea what was going on with anyone anywhere at anytime.ever. And he came with his lawyer which seems to be the best decision he's ever made.
Foolish to believe that an open relationship with a spouse that hooks up with someone won't lead to a relationship ever.
Or on Dateline where the wife and the lover kill the husband for his insurance. Zack is lucky he's still walkin around.
"why do you need math in police work?"
To add up all the red flags that you've completely ignored with your wife.
How about home economics?
roast!
Ha ha! Very good, Melissa.
boom, roasted!
Would be a great private investigator. Doesn't miss a thing.
Just a FYI. A person can be a good judge of character but be blind to those close to you. It is a common issue.
Absolutely 💯
No.
Facts you can Simple ignore the signs 😢
Absolutely not. If you a good judge of character that would definitely include your close family and friends. You tried it though lol.
@@demigodsinbad7225 lol if your ignoring signs, you're not a good judge of character, that is an absolute oxymoron, it makes no logical sense lol.
Lawyer just sitting there playing on his phone missing a few times he should have chipped in for his client lol
Weird how he constantly points out the dead girls addiction and how he doesn't associate with "those types of people" but his clean and sober wife was the real monster.. Go figure.
Anyone can be a monster but its completely valid to not want to associate with people with addictions. A lot of people have family/friends that have burned them 100x over because of their addictions.
@@Apathina Doesn't even have to be that, personally I just dont want drugs around me or in my life and I think thats a perfectly reasonable stance to take.
@@under-dog5390 That is certainly understandable as well. I simply brought it up because the guy in the video mentioned his brother getting cut off for this and also I have unfortunately a .... lot of experience with multiple family members doing this.
was thinking the same shit lol
I think Ashley fed him that about Taylor
I love observing the differences in an interrogation with someone who is cooperative, forthcoming and innocent. More of this in true crime please!!!
There's quite a bit of "this" in true crime it just appears different depending on who is being interviewed & who is watching. This guy, just like anyone else will answer what is in his best interest - as he should
You wanna watch innocent people get interrogated? That sounds boring as fuck.
dude let his wife get banged by men
@@isras6702 I like when they lie but get caught
There's tons but most people don't want to watch or bother to leak interrogations of anyone aside from the killer.
I often see comments from people wanting to see what an innocent person looks like when interrogated. I know that Zach is somewhat familiar with police techniques, but you can tell that his body language is completely different from the guilty suspects we usually see. He leans forward, he answers most of the questions quickly, and apart from the first couple of answers, he doesn't overshare. Yes, he was clueless, but he wasn't hiding anything.
Yes exactly this! It's so interesting to watch the differences.
That’s a good analysis , it’s just so different to most interrogations you watch,!!!! It should be shown to junior interrogators
It’s not his fault he was deceived by her. But yeah your right it’s a good example of an innocent interviewee .
And yet u say he knows popo and how they work... interesting...
@@donnaturner4795 and most officers get caught bc of their body language and the same things they watch others for.
If she had gotten away with this murder she would be collecting his LIFE INSURANCE soon😮
Poor dude. I would never trust my own judgement of people the same after going through something like this.
Its crazy to see how different the detectives act when there's an attorney present. Always contact your attorney.
Also when they don't think he is the crim.
Unbelievable that he did not know.
Sometimes people who are innocent don't because I mean they're innocent 😂 but it turns iut so badly most of the time.
Just don't talk at all, it's not an emission of guilt. Court is when you plee your case.
I contacted my attorney just watching this
A man that trusts his spouse completely is not only rare, but shows just how much he loved her. Without trust love dies. My heart goes out to him.
Na he is a simp
I agree...he seems so forthcoming.. these detectives would have so many different lies of his to pull apart with how much information he is willingly given to them with every question so it seems weird to me to be this forthcoming if all of this is why... I kind of think he wasn't involved and.... very sad
He didnt love her, they had an open relationship and he had no idea what she was doing at any time, their marriage was dead but they just didnt want to seperate
I think the guy probably has ADHD lol. Like classic combination ADHD.
I think he had a situation where he could just do whatever he wanted and she supported him, and sounds like facilitated him not having to have responsibility (likely to cover the shit she was doing). I think he did want to question a good deal and I'm sure just kept telling himself everything was fine.
Love the fact that this guy remembers things, dates, and times by where he ate 😂 He’s my kind of people 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅
Sounds like his wife was his sugar mama and he was a kept man. That's why he didn't question anything and was ok with an open relationship. He was able to come and go as he pleased and had all kinds of boy toys. She had him conditioned to not ask questions. He sounded very happy with this set-up. As long as he had a roof over his head, food in his belly, his truck/jeep, a phone and a debit card he was content.
😂 IKR!!!
And got to watch his wife with another girl once in a while.
The guys that are making fun of him are secretly jealous 😂
Being SO clueless and gullible probably saved his life, and he was better able to prove his innocence
Chilling thought but I bet you're spot on. His not questioning his wife probably did save his life. shiver 😬
Also chilling, the clueless/gullible bafoon was a cop. Guess they'll take what they can, but these standards do not impress. 🤷
@@tadmikowsky7520 notice he was let go pretty quickly. Who knows the real reason, then he couldn't get another LE job because of the math. Kind of sad
He really is the definition of 'ignorance is bliss'
They Said he received 25k for a injury settlement. If I received 25k I wouldn't work for a few yeafs
In this man’s defense, regarding his wife’s handling of the finances, I 💯 believe him. My husband has NO IDEA, at any time, how much is coming in or going out of our account. Everything is direct deposited, most bills are auto drafted, and I handle everything. He knows where we bank, has access to all of it, but doesn’t WANT to deal with anything. I get it.
Mine is the same.
Sounds like either your husband is using you or you're a control freak.
@@Flotter-Flo sometimes in a marriage certain care task fall to the responsibility of the best suited for the job, and then the spouses trust each other ..
@@lourose697 To me, complete trust over finances is insane. If true crime videos have taught us anything, it's that you can never truly know someone.
No one should ever let themselves become that dependant on anyone!
Kinda made me laugh when he kept saying I stay away from those types who mess with drugs, I don't associate with that lifestyle. Kind of ironic that he's married to a murderer.
There's no way I just watched this for 2 hours waiting to see them tell him his wife actually definitely did this and it didn't happen....
I was like this guy about finances. I trusted my husband completely, assuming he was much better with finances than I. After all, he was a CPA and was very tight with money. Then one day after 25 years of making payments on our $29,500 home he blurted out that we still owed $25,000 on our house. WHAT? ! I had to check into this. The banker told me that he had used our home on collateral on several large loans amounting to about $22,000. It didn’t add up. We didn’t have new furniture, cars, etc. Turns out he was spending all this money on some girl half our age. So…his girlfriend was getting massive boxes of chocolates, clothes from fancy stores where I wasn’t allowed, photos from an expensive portrait where the kids and I were not allowed, and a car. People are surprising. After that I wondered just how far he would go. I actually became afraid he might have me killed, as the trust was totally destroyed.
Wow, in my country houses are 10x more expensive and people need at least 30 years to pay it off, but usually they die with a mortgage.
😢😮
$25,000 house? Where do you live, the North Pole? Lol
@@Simon1985_ that house was bought in 1974 for 29,500. It was appraised at 265,00 the other day.
@@ursalaoutrageous9249 I hope you got rid of him and all that equity is yours! You and your children lived so long without, so you deserve that and much more!
If you asked my dad about money or bills in our home he would have no idea. Mum’s always organised everything for the household and he could focus on working his butt off. No gatekeeping of funds, just defined responsibility that works. And so much trust. Worked just fine for 40+ years. Retired now and they manage fine so this definitely worked for them. I don’t think he’s a bad guy for not knowing. He trusted her with his life. So sad
I feel like that stuff stops when the child support office says you didn't pay A COUPLE TIMES. At that point , not looking into your fiances to see the problem, Which is depriving your daughter of support but not paying gets you a bench warrant from your case, which would probably do something to take away his license and yada. I MEAN, HELLO MR DETECTIVE, THERE IS SOMETHING TO DETECT HERE!
I feel bad for Taylor, this mushroom keeps insulting her and calling her a "Scumbag" the whole while defending the person who killed her , who was buys motorcycles for her side piece with money stolen from her victim. THAT IS SAD! :(
(Sorry about the rant, this interrogation kinda pissed me off a bit. . At least he love New Orleans so, he could be worse. )
This is more common then ppl think!
@@NA-rb4zk Which part? The denial of his wife being a killer or never knowing about his financial state?
He trusted his wife and that is all he made a mistake doing and she knew that it was going to work for that reason. Predators love trust and truthful people.
Except this dude is an unemployed bum.
This guy is one of a kind! Very rare is a man this oblivious, and completely blinded by love! Wow!
He keeps calling the victim "crazy", "weird", "a drug addict", basically someone not to like, but then it turned out his own wife is all those things. Seems he didn't know his wife very well at all...
This guy brings the realization of how dangerous blind trust can be.
That's why you never do that. I couldn't imagine answering "idk" as many as he did and it was an honest legit answer. Couldn't be me
Very true
Is it blind trust or just disconnected from the relationship??
Blind trust
Rule #1 never trust no female
I’ve been the person who found out their partner was the monster. Being disillusioned is a terrible feeling. Having your reality ripped out from under you and your world flipped upside down is a traumatic experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
So many comments like that here, so let me ask you: if out of the blue one day you found out it looks like your partner murdered their friend, would your reaction be something like at around 1:05:10 ? "I just can't imagine my partner doing such a sloppy job of covering up a murder"?
what did he do? touch some kids? pushed a tute off a bridge?
Amen. ❤❤❤
@@Suzanne4415well he said that because of her background
@@chikushodiz91 I understand that that's how he's intellectually maintaining denial, in itself not too weird.
What IS odd is he skipped over the whole "she's really not the murdering type" reaction that I think you have if you're completely blindsided by this side of your partner.
(Not for a moment questioning Rae Clair's experience here. But I'm questioning that that's what we're watching in this video.)
Having listened to so many interviews of people it is VERY apparent from this interview what a sincere and confused person sounds like - the way his explanations dart around but still answer the question; they aren't long and rambling answers but if he suddenly thinks of something which might be useful he cuts off in the middle of his sentence for a short digression and then gets back to his original explanation once he's done. It's a stark difference from the guilty party where every sentence is super focussed and packed with detail, like reading a novel aloud.
He brought his attorney, but I gotta question the lawyers competency. Any lawyer well versed in the 5th, would have said, "no comment", and would never have allowed an interview. The ways an absolutely innocent guy can implicate himself are many.
Well, I've learned one thing from watching these, if you ever decide to kill anyone, don't take your phone with you. Makes you wonder how they caught murderers before cell phones because 80% of these cases involve somebody's cell phone
Your phone listens to you .... ever been talking about something then it pops up as ads the next day ~
@@ronniezr201 yea alll the time
dude let his wife get banged by men
@@ronniezr201 he’s talking about murders not ads
I don’t know sounds like it would be hard without a witness
“As a former crime scene technician, McArthur knew exactly what to do to cover up her crime”. Well if that was true, she would never have been caught!
Exactly. She was at Home Depot buying cement, etc. in full view of the cameras.
The universe always finds a way.
I find it weird when people, especially presenters/anchors talk in absolutes. Like, it would have been more accurate to say "as a former crime scene technician, McArther had some idea of how to cover her crime, but lacked awareness outside of the crime scene and was easily picked up on cameras. Lol
Same pet peeve I have when presenters say things like "the perfect marriage", "the perfect family"
@@veryverte I agree with you.
@@veryverte exactly. Hyperbole drives RUclips
He’s not guilty of anything but naivety, laziness, and stupidity. He didn’t WANT to know anything…made his life easier. That’s dangerous.
simply by his body language alone throughout this video, you can tell he was innocent. he sat in the confession pose the entire time !
😂
This will be so traumatic for him for a long time because of his job and the pride he took in it. It's really heartbreaking, people close to you are an entirely different ballgame than strangers. People that you love can groom you for a long time before you get it.
Hence why I don't let people near me. They are disappointing.
He's a total IDIOT! Incapable of processing reality, so he won't be traumatized. PLEASE KEEP HIM AWAY FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT!
Such a sad thing to find out someone close to you was capable of such. I'm certain this situation will force him to be more engaging in the next relationship.
It shows he has absolutely no business in law enforcement nor private investigation being that oblivious
@@traceymcdonald7949 it's very different when it comes to your spouse. You could be one of thebest officers with an outstanding record for spotting liars, and still be completely blind and oblivious to what your deceitful spouse is up to. You trust everything about your spouse and everything they tell you, or else you wouldn't have married them (unless, as in the case of this man's wife, you're a sociopath that obv groomed him from the beginning to be hands off)
When he said, "I reckon". Seems like a down to earth guy. I also love that he describes his trip by the food he ate, thats how i plan all trips and describe what we do.
In other interrogation videos that is classified as suspicious behavior: giving specific, unnecessary details about unimportant things (the details of food ordered and why) and going off into detailed tangents, but just not remembering any of the details the cops want about the case. Suspicious.
@@followme8238 I noticed the same thing. And he has a motive to frame his wife. And he was a cop. They protect there own.
😆😆🤣 that is true. The guy didn't forget what he ate.
@@followme8238 everything is "suspicious" lmfao
That is why your name is Gains!!! LOL.....Kidding with ya.!
Open Marriage? Could you imagine yourself laying in bed at night by yourself, and thinking about your wife in some other guy's bed getting Long stroked. I would go crazy. More power to him.
It’s wild when you understand the psychology of interrogation rooms. This is considered a hard interrogation room versus a soft one. You can see the size of the table versus the room. It’s made to subconsciously make the person feel like the walls are closing in on them. soft rooms have couches with teddy bears and things like that for victims to be interrogated.
The reason he didn’t question anything is because he thought he had hit the jackpot with a wife letting him sleep with whomever he wanted and buy whatever he wanted. Also, she took care of everything for him. I once had an assistant like that, went above and beyond. Made my job a breeze. I loved it, until I found out she was robbing me blind! As the old adage goes: All that glitters is not gold.
Great spin on the Led Zeppelin lyric

@@endokrin7897 oh wow, don't I feel like the uncultured swine now.
Thanks for the correction 😁
I had an assistant like that. A lot of work was taken off of me by her. I paid her very well, and still, she was stealing from me.
Oh no! Treat us well. We repay you with crap. Treat us like crap we worship you. Pew, this world.
Don't stop doing good though.😊😊
I feel sorry for this guy. The worst thing is to find out the monster is the person you love.
Me too! It’s awful. And it’s awful to be so deceived by someone you truly loved
36:00 "I'm never wrong at judging people. Ever!"
Yeah, if he watches and listens to this interrogation at the parts he says how great his character judgment is, it's gonna dawn on him.
@@maverickstclare3756 yeah wow 😱
A murderer and adulterer. A wicked deceptive woman.
It’s sad because this man deserved better.
I think it's funny how many qualifiers he used while talking. Like all those "I think so's" "I believe" "As far as I remember" all that stuff. I've seen other true crime videos calling people out for being suspicious after saying those and assuming guilt. It's just crazy to see that those really mean nothing.
It also means that you don't want to be accused of being a liar if you make a mistake in memory!
You can be a good judge of character and not suspect the ones you love. We put on blinders to their actions. He probably did hear, see or just suspect something but it gets brushed off.
nah he is literally a clueless moron who doesn't make a penny because his job requires a brain which he does not have. proof is in the puddin
If you put on blinders, you're neither a good judge of character or a good character
@@bestofa.q.p.1840 that’s like saying good swimmers can’t drown.
@@bestofa.q.p.1840 its a human trait and you are also 100% guilty
This is so true. I thought I was pretty savvy, but my wife developed a severe cocaine habit without me suspecting a thing for far too long. We're divorced and she lost everything.
I think he has an incredibly shallow relationship with that woman. I think he doesn’t ask her questions about finances, where she’s at etc, not because he’s clueless but because he doesn’t want the answers. She has all the leverage. Financial discussions bring him shame because he doesn’t make nearly as much as her. He doesn’t ask where she’s been because it brings him shame that she sleeps with others. He chooses to live in the fog so he doesn’t have to face the reality of his failed life, income and dysfunctional relationships.
It's like she is his mother.
Seems way too complex to call it shallow....
@@terrytarver690 she obviously lived a complex life, im just guessing that he didn’t involve himself much in specifics.
@@jedlee2194 Obviously....
@@terrytarver690 ellipsis…
He is the most uninterested husband ever. He knows like nothing about his wife 😅😅
You are foolish to hand someone that kind of money and expect it to be there when you need it. Best to give it to your mother or father.
I'm sure Ashley was "dropping breadcrumbs" meaning she pointed out situations that guided her own narrative and made Taylor appear to be a drug addict or of questionable character. I say this because it's been done to me. I'm sure Ashley played her husband like a fiddle.
Completely. That’s exactly what manipulators do. The only way people can see through the bullshit is if you’ve have to deal with these chaotic people in you’re own life.
My ex partner was one
My exact thought
Exactly. Which is why all these people need to stop saying it makes no sense that he didn't know her character was off, that he must have been bad at his job because he didn't know she was a bad person. Like the people who are making those comments have clearly never been in a manipulative relationship. There's plenty of PI s, detectives, even people who profile for a living for the darn fbi who wouldn't know if their partner was a murderer or a r@pi$t , ECT. Like you said. It's all about the manipulation. When you're manipulated into thinking your partner is somebody else. Love will blind you. I think it's ignorant all these people commenting saying he must have been a horrible private investigator because that makes no sense. Tons of people have been in terribly manipulative relationships but they are incredibly smart people and great at what they do. Like therapists for instance. People assume right away antherapist should know they're dating a narcissist and that's simply not true.
🎯
@@tatertot4208 Yes it is and indeed I've never been in a manipulative relationship. Why? Because I'm intelligent and naturally distrusting of people and this serves me well in life. Quit making excuses for yourself should be your starting point.
I have no idea if the victim had a drug problem or not, but I laughed so hard at his description of her "little bag she guarded" because that's how I always am about my bag with makeup, tampons and pads. She could have just been diabetic, on her period, had IBS, etc.
Same!
I see what you're saying, but these days it's not so much of a big deal especially around people you know quite well.
(Edit: "big deal" meaning, men or others seeing your personal feminine products.)
As a previous addict I had a little make up bad I guarded with my life 😂 10000% drugs when it came to me lol
@@TJ-um8ce I gaurd my bags too lmao, not because I'm hiding anything, it's just a security thing for me, it makes me feel safe to hold it close, my backpack is important because it helps me carry things but also because I get a sense of security wearing it when i walk, but also putting it in my lap when I sit down, holding it close and wrapping my arms around it (social situations freak me out a lot)
@@alexb7092 I hear ya. Totally get what you mean. I hate being around people, just my kids and husband ,(sometimes when he's not being a dick 🤣🤣) but I avoid people most of the time. Not to be trusted
“I’m never wrong judging people. Ever.”
A lot of men don't know their household bills or if they are in financial distress. My sister owes 40 grand on a credit card & her husband doesn't know it! Men let women pay the bills & as long as there is money for them to do what they want- they wouldn't question it.
He is a victim of long term abuse, coercion and manipulation. I have seen other husbands who stop asking questions after a few years because they know they have to either do something about the lies, control and constant betrayal or give up. He gave up years ago as a coping mechanism.
i agree with you
Same.
When you're so oblivious you don't even know how much you contributed to a murder 😳 can't be good for business Mr PI!
Cop: So what do you think happened ?
**C'mon guys, are you paying attn?🤷♀️😆
Hub: I don't think she would do that, she's super smart..
**compared to who sir? You?🤔🤭
Yup. Done it myself
Yep, she thoroughly broke him. He has zero self-respect and has as much responsibility as a child.
I believe him. When you have no Ill intentions towards people, it’s probably very hard to imagine others do. Especially if they are your spouse!
The “probably” implies you have ill intentions towards people… tell us more!
I know this to be true
Yeah it’s not that common, that someone you know. Let alone your partner. Is a murderer. It’s not like it’s common knowledge.
I smell everything, eyes are enough for me.
@watchmejumpstart Agreed. I think he's very good at playing gullible.
i don't even think it's shocking how he doesn't suspect his own wife... if you love and trust someone u don't question everything they do and you'd never think they'd be able to do something like that
He’s pretty calm for finding out his wife blew thru thousands of dollars in a matter of weeks and his wife is a murderer.
His wife played him through & through. Spending his money on some other guy….what!! He’s honestly lucky she didn’t get rid of him🔫😳
Yeah, in retrospect, he should be both incredibly humbled AND terrified by his own obliviousness to everything.
I bet he pays attention these days…probably trusts nobody
Being so clueless probably is the only reason he wasn't whacked
That's total bullshit
He lived off her money for years. He was unemployed.
I knew more about my 5th grade girlfriends than this guy did about his wife 😂
He knew about his and her open relationship.
@@Harley08 that and guns 😂
@@DerekMantei You’re right ! 🤣🤣
Stop it. You’re cracking me up.
🤣
It's not far fetched that he didn't know anything about their finances. My husband hands me his check every Friday, and I'm the one who takes care of the bills, rent, food, etc. Every once in a while he'll ask how our finances are, so I tell him.
It must be devastating to learn that your spouse is a murderer, and has wiped you out, financially.
He took "Happy wife happy life" to the extreme.
He seems as dense as lead
NAILED IT and that happy wife, happy life is just pure evil.
lmao
Happy wife, happy life...in prison.
Talk about 2birds 1 stone……. Some guys have all the luck…
He doesn't even know the brand of cigarettes, until the Detective mentioned several! Does he even know his wife??
Seriously !!!
I mean she is a liar - she didn’t tell him anything either -
It’s as if they live separate lives. It’s bizarre to me. The whole, I knew they were hooking up but a relationship...hell no! 😳
@@Shiftinguzi
Not saying things isn't lying.
He also thinks she's super intelligent but doesn't know what education she has...
A masters? A Bachelors?
🤪🙄 🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️
This is in 2017 and he ONLY paid 7K for a ‘big and beautiful deck’.
That lumber would be 25K (at LEAST) today, in 2023.
The “ I’m good at my job” I knew she was on drugs but had no clue she spent every dime in your bank account and also had 13 different accounts he had no clue about. Nor did he know or he didn’t care she let ANYONE smash
There's a reason why we hear about "conflict of interest" and "too close to the case" on every police show. We are blinded when it comes to the people close to us, either by our own emotions, projections of who they are or because we are so close to their manipulations. Not realising his wife is a murderer doesn't mean he wasn't a good officer/investigator - it's one thing to be focused on every little while on the job and another to do it every minute of the day in your personal relationships. "Trust" means not breaking down someone's every word, action and movement. He must've just enjoyed having an easy life where he did his thing, his wife did hers and obviously never considered that would mean that she would end up murdering someone and putting him at risk of being an accomplice/conspirator.
You spoke so many facts. I would add that easily trusting people you are friends with comes easier in your teens. If you don't have any remarkable issues occur early in childhood, you can literally think all people are truthful and just not give it a 2nd thought. I was really good friends with someone for 17 years. She was a great friend and we were there for each other. Even though I was married, she was the only female I trusted to come in my home when I wasn't there. My husband died in 98. About 15 years ago I decided to move from Florida to DC. She absolutely stopped talking to me and would not return my calls. I reached out so many times. Spoke with her about her behavior and never got a straight answer. Her sister later told me many important things she never told me she was involved with. I was so shocked. I'm still shocked. When I say we were close friends, I mean we could have been sisters. Been her 15 years and probably talked to her 5 times.i guess I never really knew her the way I thought.
I agree with you.
@@SONYAZSHOULDERPADS what were the things about her behaviour that her sister told you? The more we tell each other, the more we learn.
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now while i was living down there her sister called me and told me she had moved in with some guy and his sister. the guys sister wanted her to move out and her sister says she tried talking to her about the guy being useless. they wanted me to talk to her about it. i explained to her sister that she was an adult…anyway, we were very close friends. plus i knew she had a habit of dating men that were absolute zeros but again, she’s an adult. we spoke daily on the phone, attended the same small church for 17 years. to this day she’s never told me that she was living with this guy and his sister. another time later on i found out by accident she had another guy living with her. she wasn’t at home when i stopped by one day and he answered the door. i never mentioned it because i figured she’d tell me when she wanted. she’s never told me. the church we attended taught no sex before marriage. now i understand why she never told me. she didn’t want me to think she was failing at living what we were taught. that’s 1 of the reasons why i stopped attending church. people can’t live their lives in peace for being afraid to be honest with a friend. i didn’t and still don’t want my friends to feel that way about our friendship. hopefully one day she will come around. i’ve certainly reached out to her.
dude let his wife get banged by men
I'd really love to see the wife's interrogation.
I’ve watched the wife’s interrogation. I think they brought her in 2 or 3 times. She tried to make excuses for everything
It's excellent.
It's on RUclips. Just type in interrogation of Ashley MacArthur. I'm watching it now.
It's there if you look at her name. I just watching. Is very very good from Tahiti
Maybe it will show up. Keep an eye out
This is my absolute favorite place on the internet, thank you
This guy is either guilty from all the slip ups or he's literally the most puddy whipped guy alive ...ijs no man ever is that clueless about his wife's whereabouts.
Yes. So weird all these people saying “poor guy” he sounds so guilty
Good thing you dont work in the police force.
My mom did all the shopping.. food clothing bathroom needs...everything.. so when dad retired and started going shopping with us man he was BLINDSIDED.. he never understood how mom was spending so much...til he started going. He truly was stunned.
My dad was the primary bread winner and my mom always balanced the checkbook and paid all the bills. When Dad learned computer skills and became a spreadsheet nerd he took over all that, he trusted Mom but just started keeping track of EVERYTHING on spreadsheets LOL. One day he was upset and incredulous that she went to Red Lobster twice in one week. She told him that once was taking her mother to lunch and the other was taking his mother to lunch. She asked if he wanted to take over THAT duty too. He shut his mouth and never questioned her expenses again.
Edit: They’ve been married 65 years and I’ve only heard them argue about money 3 times. The Red Lobster incident, once when she spent $300 on glasses for me back in the 1980’s and once when he spent $80 on a toaster. Otherwise they were generally on the same page with money and what it could and couldn’t do for your life.
@@tangyjoe4326 That's hilarious! Of the 3 arguements... lol, he was in the wrong... who buys a toaster for $80?? It better butter the bread too! 😄 🤣 😂 😆 #PowerToYourMom lol
@@9babyblu idk the red lobster story... you dont take your mom there twice in all honesty.
@@williamjktkd read the comment above mine... that's who I was talking to. And she didn't take her mom 2s. She took her mom 1s and his mom 1s. Could all be their fave restaurant. Who is her husband to judge? Lol
My husband was the same way until our daughter died and I was so depressed he had to take over paying some bills because ijust didn’t care about anything. There was nothing wrong,just he was shocked at how expensive things were such school taxes, real estate taxes, water bills, electric bills, etc.
Open marriage, blind trust, and one spouse handles all the finances? That's a recipe for total disaster
Definitely
He was smittens with her, because I am sure all the signs were there but he chose to ignore them. He knew his wife liked women and frequented gays bars hustling women that found her attractive; he agreed to the open relationship, which was his wife’s idea. The only thing I would say he wasn’t aware of was the wife buying the motorcycle for her male lover and that really hurt him. Remember this guy is a P.I.
It’s definitely interesting to see how different the interrogation goes when there is an attorney present. Without one they pressure people more , they are a lot different with questions etc. when there is one in the room
Little did Zack know Ashley spread rumors that he was lazy and refused work offers. No one was safe around Ashley and who knows what she had in store for this stooge.
Somehow that wouldn’t surprise me about him.
This poor guy just found out the woman he loves is a cold blooded murderer, who pissed away his money on another man, lied about their finances, etc... I'm not sure how he's supposed to act but it seems to me there's a whole range of 'normal' emotions. Feeling like an idiot is probably pretty high on that list. I doubt anything would shock him at this point
possibly a DNA test on their child?
@@betsyvanek9275 The child isn’t his. He even says he loves her like his own.
The cops on the other hand are shocked af . Like damn, this dude (this PI) surely knows somethin more?! Just to find out- nope he really doesn't know anything... Anything about anything! I wonder how the job hunt went, yikes😳
Go watch the first one of her
@@Getlostandwander that's a good point. Also he didn't mind her sleeping with other people so... it definitely wasn't a healthy relationship
It’s nice to see interrogation room cameras are slowly but surely getting upgraded to HD quality. It really helps to be able to see body language and the suspects eyes. Fascinating stuff! ✌️
And hear clearly too.
@@Ellen-hs7zb the audio on this is really quiet… not too good
@@anublsunder
Gee, mine is loud and clear throughout.
Hes not a suspect
@@Ellen-hs7zb Yes. Oftentimes videos like these I know the person being interrogated was not THAT numbly. LOL 😂
"I don't hang out with dirtbags. [On the other hand, my wife hangs out at poolhalls with people who do drugs, we each have flings and live beyond our means, and I'm an absent father to my daughter. But other than that, we're totally upstanding members of society.]"
😂
Well done!!! 👍
"He was always content to believe anything that she said, and he never confirmed anything for himself."
I was married 28 years and always believed what my husband said about where he was, after the first year, in which it took him a while to understand that it mattered to me when he was coming home. Otherwise, he could have been having an affair, because he worked nights and I never questioned or checked if he was there. I trusted him.
This man had no idea how close he came to getting charged in this crime. If Ashley had simply lied and said he was involved that’s all it would have taken to put him in prison.
So true
False.
@the KC dot how is that false? Everyone is supposed to believe ALL WOMEN right? Because women never lie right?
@@thekcdot
Hey, great input! Very insightful, the way elaborated so in depth.
@@karenamyx2205 I agree with him but still 😭😭😭
The irony in the husband saying that he’s never wrong about people, yet he married a murderer.
Drugs can change you, she wasn’t a murderer when they met, she went through some stuff to her her to that point.
Well they do say love is blind
He allowed her to be the greater light in his life; and was blinded by that light.
😂
I thought the same! I thought the detective was gonna say that 😂
This is a great, great example of the tactics used to interrogate a completely innocent man.
He actually said the words "I'm never wrong judging people" OMG
Denial is survival when you live with a narcissist.
Wow……….now that’s a new one to me…..and I’m keeping it…
It's actually enabling
@@coast5663 you can’t enable a narcissist. It’s not like it’s an addiction or something, they are just messed up in the head. Insinuating it’s enabling is putting blame on the victim, the person being manipulated is not at fault for trusting other humans.
Truer words have never been said! All abuse results in survival and blocking things out is a natural thing to do!
🍃💚🍃🙏🏽🍃💚🍃
TRUTH
"So Ashley is your wife?"
"Yes, but I've never seen her before in my life."
"Ah okay, we'd best give you a lift home then. Thanks for coming in, former cop."
LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣😭👏💯
Sounds like tRump and his knowledge of the people around him!😅😅😅
@@abelis644 TDS much?
@@abelis644 the world doesn’t revolve around politics. Normal people rarely bring it up.
@@abelis644 you support laundering money through Ukraine I see...
In his profession, his lack of curiosity is astounding, not trust, curiosity.
"This room is empty" just like his head.
This is astonishing. A divorce attorney told a friend, decades ago- start looking at the money, for any that's being hidden. You should always know where the money is, where it's going.
This guy is a lesson to us all.
Jeez.
I completely understand those that absolutely trust their spouse and don't want the headache but also the attorney isn't wrong, it's going to best for everyone if both partners are aware, supportive, have a system that works so either spouse can take over supervising at any time.
I mean, it is technically crazy. But I was kind of the same way. Here’s my check pay all the bills and I would ask her. Hey do we have money for this? Just oblivious to all of it. So when he said that, I completely believe him because it’s like damn, I do the same damn thing not no more. Lol
DEFINITELY !!
Yep. Anything worth knowing is connected to a dollar sign. Doesn’t have to be much .. but free gets no one in trouble..
A friend gave his wife every paycheck,to pay bills. He found that he had no money in the bank & the mortgage was overdue. His wife spent it at casinos.
This guy was so worried about other people’s lives he forgot to pay attention to his own
N0 memory, no suspicious tendencies, no curiosity in his personal life and wants to be hired as a PI or a cop?
This is a training video about how an innocent person behaves.
I feel bad for him and they look like they don't want to be the one to tell him.
This was painful to watch. You can just see these detectives spoon-feeding this guy, waiting and waiting for him to FINALLY clue in to what is going on. Even his lawyer must have been rolling his eyes.
Hes playing dumb
This can happen to anyone. Regardless of intelligence, character traits etc. Because a person who is a very good manipulator can indeed have one totally fooled to believe the life they know is real.
Exactly... easy to judge from outside
As much as I'd love to have all the financial stuff taken care of without a chance of my messing it up, not checking your bank accounts? Not once? Not press one button on an ATM to see the balance on the debit account? Not notice a single suspicious pay-us-now envelope from Chattanooga? You don't have to be mistrustful of your wife to want to be mindful of your assets. This dude still has his umbilical cord. Guess he never got burned by a normal, everyday hellbeast. Must have been nice. The rest of us know the drill. Trust, but verify. At least once a damn year, man.
The fact he immediately started vilifying the victim and calling her a drug addict is fishy. Calling the victim a drug addict and insinuating she would disappear often without any proof when asked is him muddying the waters by implying she was involved in a dangerous lifestyle. He isn't guilty but he definitely knew or more than he admitted to in my opinion. He wasn't as clueless as the narrator is making him out to be imo.
@@tonysan4762 Ever think his wife groomed him to see a lot of bad too. Maybe she disappeared because her & Ashley were talking. Many scenarios. This dude just thought he had a happy life, happy wife. He's a good guy IMO.
@@GetCraftyLemons Fully agree, when you love and trust, and have been together for a while, then there is no reason to get suspicious all over sudden. This just shows how highly he thought of his wife. The awakening must have been disgustingly painful for him. Poor man....
This guy was smart to bring his attorney, but his statement towards the end about not needing math in police work is an example why his wife was able to fool him the whole time. He couldn’t even figure out 2+2.
These two clearly lived separate lives. He screwed whom he wants to and she did the same as long as they could afford having fun they were fine. Sad.
Great video and audio quality
"I'm never wrong judging people...never!" lol 😂
I let my wife handle our money because I hate seeing the money I worked hard for every 2 weeks go straight to bills. So I can understand how he had that trust in her.
that’s the economy tho… get the money pass it on…still have bills ya can’t quite pay-or car repairs put off for a year or two..
Trust but verify. This guy was clueless.
Thanks for that, l handle the money in our marriage. Hubby earns good income, but he is not good at money management.
He likes his toys, and always wants the best. He doesn’t think twice about buying a product he wants, yet forgets that the bills have to be paid first.
Its a very common dynamic.
@jessicabrown6604 which makes me wonder why women have 2 3rds of the worlds debt?
And he does PI work?? His lack of curiosity for anything and general ignorance of his life and those around him is astounding.
My prayer is that NO police force will give this clueless man a badge much less a gun
I agree with you.
