Fourth wife? Even if he’s not a murderer, he’s a terrible husband apparently
I thought the same. Or a narcissist. They hate being alone.
A one time friend, married this woman, he was either her 5th or 6th husband depending on who tells the story.
Her trick was she would never have sex unless she was married. + she had some kind of female voodoo crapola he bought into. The "gazing into the eyes as if all knowing" BS. She wasn't hot.
Short story is she went after his house and everything he owned, cost him a chunk in lawyer fees and a lotta time and frustration and etc, etc, etc. Granted he is a self serving nut, and probably deserved what ever he got.
But she didnt take him out with an axe. So there's that.
He is a great husband. He fulfilled till death do us part. If mysterious conspirators would only stop murdering his family he would not need a new wife every so often.
@@whatdoyoudo1482.. 😂 yesssss.. 👏🏼
No matter one’s opinion on numerous marriages, he was divorced twice…undermining the assertion that he would commit murder to avoid divorce.
The multiple marriages actually helps his case.
Getting thrown out of the group is unfathomable but murdering the whole family to avoid divorce is acceptable? 👀👀👀👀👀
There’s a lot of loose screws rattling about in some peoples heads
Plus, he'd have to split his wealth in half. Surprised Dr G misses that.
I know, it is crazy and brutal...he is a monster...poor children
@@anitaholst7671true
He's been divorced twice since his release, doesn't seem to have a problem with it now.
My sister babysat for this family several times right before this happened. When we woke up to the news that day and for several weeks after, I would often wake up in the morning to find my sister had come into my room in the middle of the night and was sleeping on the floor because she was so scared. The detectives in town who had to deal with the horror had never seen anything like it, esp. in our sleepy little town. If you want to read more about it, I highly recommend the book Reasonable Doubt by Steve Vogel, an investigative journalist in my hometown.
Wow. Great info. May you all have some peace. 🌸
Very interesting, Did your sister ever think the father could of murdered his family?
My heart goes out to her. It was scary for all of us but must have been so much so for your sister. Im not sure I ever considered Bloomington a 'Sleepy Little Town' lol. However I do agree with you about the book. Highly informative book by a wonderfully intelligent man. He was quite friendly Steve Vogel.
@@elviaplata1841 I cant speak for her sister obviously, but Mr Vogel did not believe David was guilty. Just like Jany1329, I highly recommend his book.
@@elviaplata1841 she didn't at first but later (and I'm not sure how much later), she did.
Agree with your analysis. He killed his family and was erroneously exonerated. There was no reason for anyone else to kill the entire family
I don't consider it acceptable to convict someone through process of elimination. There should be some actual, real evidence that points to guilt.
@jimcronin2043 sometimes that's all you have and a killer shouldn't walk because of it
I agree that it would be very unfortunate if a guilty person id freed, however, our constitutional form of government prescribes 'beyond reasonable doubt' for guilt criteria. A process of elimination doesn't provide for that because it leaves open alternate possibilities not yet thought of by the authorities. The preservation of our rights is more important than taking retribution in a single case, if that is the choice. @@Cinder_311
No "apparent" reason, no reason that you can divine or discover.. but you're right he's probably guilty.
True
Child support sucks, but I love my kids so much, how can people like this kill their own kids, like looking at their face and doing it. Like with Chris Watts he said his daughter was like please daddy no.
Worst of the worst
Something deeply wrong from birth, the time became right and they acted, must not have bothered him too much .
Heartbreaking and brutal, it is poor craziness.
Also it's extra heartbreaking that they use a knife, such a close and intimate murder weapon, they really have to be complete soulless voids...and they walk among us. Terrifying.
Wow! I’ve never heard of this case before. I’d imagine there are quite a lot of terrible murderers out there that just don’t get much coverage, but this case has some plot twists which usually makes them worthy of a snapped episode or 48 hours. Dr grande finds them all!
There was an Investigative Discovery episode about this case about 5 or 6 years ago.
Also it was covered on 20/20!
The random killer story rarely pans out. He sounds like another selfish, narcissistic person. Great points again, congrats on 1.36 million!🎈🎉🍾Thanks Dr G😊❤❤
I don't know where you find the time to research all of these cases so thoroughly! They are all quick yet very detailed and alot of them I've never even heard of. ❤
He has a team, he just reads the scripts at this point 🙂
@@vb8801 I doubt it.
Was watching another murder case on the Law & Crime channel and saw Dr Grande giving his input. I was like "thats Dr Grande!!"
Which video, please!?
To me these are the creepiest and scariest kind of killers. You walk and talk with them everyday and then out of nowhere they kill.
You are so right. They had complete trust in him and he took advantage of that trust.
Pervs are capable of this. Murder of families are almost always rooted in some kind of sexual deviancy
Fundamentalists are good at wearing a mask.
I so agree these type of killers are even more dangerous IMO. ✌️
We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with powers and principalities.
every time dr. grande says "the couple got romantically involved" you know shit is about to hit the fan...
I love how he says that. Most people simply say “involved” but saying “romantically involved” is kind of tender but also sometimes hilariously euphemistic…
I'm never ever getting "involved" with anyone, "romantically" or otherwise.! 😉 😉 😁
Dr. Grande, your voice and manner are soothing. Just knowing you'll drop another video consistently contributes structure to some of our lives. Thank you. 😊
I know.
I watch his new video each am when my anxiety is at max b/c it calms me for some reason lol
Until we hear ... "Hello, my name is Doctor Todd Grande, and today I've been asked to analyze the case of Todd Grande."
🌵 I like to rest during the day and Dr. Grande joins me.
It’s all about his voice…🌵
That part ❤
me too! I watch your videos everyday now, Dr. Grande. I find the cadence and tone to your voice is very soothing as well
I love this guy!!!
Edit: not the dad but Dr. Grande!! He’s great.
I was falling asleep last night and listening to Dr. Grande's second video drop of the day (what a treat!) when I was suddenly wide awake since this happened in my hometown my junior year of high school. I highly recommend the book Reasonable Doubt by Steve Vogel, an investigative journalist in my hometown who was an "eyewitness" to much of this horror that had never been seen before in my sleepy little town.
The consistency of your channel is great! Thank you so much for your incredibly interesting videos and analysis.
I really like your brick background rather than the black curtains. Looks nice!
I love your sense of humor!! Great job Dr.Grande!!!!
He may have actually paid someone else to come kill them after he left the door unlocked and left. So sad for his wife and kids!!!
@@Aqua-Fyre Too late even if she does. Double jeopardy prevents him from being tried again.
True
I'm thinking...
There are rumors his brother in law was involved.
Another unsettling case; the Plymouth Bretheren group sounds like a cult. I, for one, am looking forward to a Halloween free of spicy pamphlets; thanks, as always, Dr. Grande!
If you knew what Halloween was really about I doubt you would celebrate it in any form, perhaps you should look into it . I don't belong to a cult btw. I used to be ignorant too, so not blaming you.
Oh, please! Christian nonsense! The "Devil" was made up centuries ago to control people . @@helenmcdonnell2585 This creation and the fear it invokes makes people cling to religion. There is no Satan. Humans do evil deeds of their own account. We need to stop blaming bad behavior on demons, saying "The Devil made me do it" Kids celebrating Halloween are not worshipping satan.
As someone who grew up in the Plymouth Brethren, I would say that it's inaccurate to describe them all as a cult. Their beliefs and practices are similar to Evangelicals or Baptists with a few minor differences. But they do consider Halloween to be a celebration of all things evil and wouldn't join in. Not all of them hand out tracts, just some of them do. My family just did other things on Halloween like watching a movie or going to McDonald's.
They’re all cults
Hello Dr Grande. Would you consider the disappearance of Lord Lucan following the murder of his children’s nanny? I’ve watched every video you made (apart from the very technical ones), you’re my favourite of many RUclipsrs I follow. Thank you
I remember this case because I was ten years old at the time and have always felt so bad for his family. I never knew the extent of this case and I will forever believe him guilty despite what an appeal stated.
What is most sickening about these types of stories is before the murderer kills their family they seem to treat them so good leading up to the murders. Like they make sure the family will be completely off guard and the killer knows they will be rid of them soon. (Chris watts always comes to mind)
Yeah, sociopathic
This, and also it's reminiscent of a "last meal" for the condemned. It may help the murderer to assuage his guilt, knowing he gave his family a nice last day (or days) of life.
Did you even watch this video? They were religious fanatics who did not let their children watch tv, and listen to the radio or eat snacks. They terrorized them with tales of hell and damnation. That's hardly what most normal people would consider a "good" childhood
Mind blowing enough to hurt a child but to hurt your own children???
Cultists can be scary. David seems to exhibit narcissistic qualities, such as holding his standing with the cult as paramount. Controlling behavior to keep this standing ( murdering of family).
Definitely a narcissist.
Good morning 🌄🌅, Dr. Grande!🙋🤗😊 You are a hard working man! I appreciate you! Thank You!
Dr Grande, great content as usual. I hope you will take a look at the recent case from Semmes, Allabama where an estranged husband found his wife and children dead of supposed murder/suicide and then shortly thereafter gave a lengthy, rambling interview to Law & Crime channel. It is positively the most chilling and fascinating (not in a good way) thing I've ever seen in true crime. Would love to see it covered with your perspective.
Imagine killing your family because you think these models you’ve hired are in love with you, then they testify in court they found him totally creepy.
😂
😂 And he was creepy.
Right???
So creepy
Total ego crush
What a lovely surprise to wake up to! A 6am dose of DrG. Very happy indeed! Thanks Doc
It's 1 in the morning...
@@LonelyHearts.Co24not everyone is in the same time zone...
@@LonelyHearts.Co24 I’m in the UK, DrG is internationally famous 🥰
I am so glad I happen to run across your channel. Excellent content. 🙏🏻
Dr. Grande, 2 vids in one day! What a bonus! Thank you for all your hard work. What a great way to start my weekend. 👍 Take care!
We appreciate your dedication and hard work. We will always support you no matter what.
I read a book about this case years ago, the husband is rotten.
You have to be a moster to kill any child, but your own and in such a horrific manner. I hope theres a spcial corner in hell for David Hendricks.
Humans are monsters to cut down forests, and kill the animals that live in there, so the human animal can have houses and roads.
And yet abortions happen all the time...
What a bonus with two posts today. I was so pleasantly surprised. Thank you!
Thanks for the upload AGAIN, Doc. Spoiling us😂😘
Hello, Todd Grande. I wanted to ask you if you could make a video talking about the Sexton Family? With Ed and Estella May. I’m reading a book called “The Anatomy of Evil” by Michael H. Stone, and am just baffled by all the cruel behavior in the world. I would love to hear your thoughts about this situation as to not feel alone while I learn.
Thanks for covering this case. I was a young woman babysitting for my sister's young child in a nearby neighborhood back when this happened. I always believed that David did this, but it would have been frightening to think it might have been someone else back then. I later met a woman whose sister worked for the law firm that represented David after the murders. She said she found David pretty creepy and did not want to be alone with him.
A vegetarian pizza at Chuck-e-cheese? That’s brutal.
😂 Well, the pizza they serve had to match the brutality of the actual place;)
I feel bad now getting my folks to take me there as a child 😮🫨
@@sarahjaye4117 You were a brutal, cruel little child 😂 👍
In Australian slang "to chuck" can mean to vomit. So I had to laugh at the name of the restaurant.
@@carpathiangirl8460 Chuckin Cheese!
UpChuck Pizza 😰
Thank you for covering this case. It happened in my hometown when I was in third grade. Their house was just a few miles away. I've always thought he got away with it.
Love me some Dr. Grande
me too
Your videos are always a fascinating trip through the dark side of the human experience. Well done Dr. Grande!
I wonder what he thought would have happened if he got a divorce. He has to leave the church, and starts meeting new women, and he has an interesting story to tell them about his past life. Scary!
I think he was too cheap to hire out the dirty work; cheap/sleazy guy
Right. What a perfect ice breaker. “So my wife and kids were murdered…. (Aka feel sad for me, think you can fix me)” and some dumb gullible woman (religious single women are often sheltered and overly trusting, and often looking to marry quickly and willing to overlook red flags) will say “oh you poor thing, I’ll take care of you!”
Instead of saying “umm you scare me plz leave me alone.”
@@gigi9301I think he hired cause had lots of money and no blood on him...
@@RomanKOZAK-ef1up Either way, he was crafty enough to get out and now has another wife!! OMG
@@RomanKOZAK-ef1up IDK if he hired a hit he would have had to hire another hit to hit the hit, which may have been completely possible. With enough money and street-smarts....Yes I think he did that.
You are really cranking out the content. ‘I love it! Keep it up.
Hot tamales lol! Your humor is priceless, Dr. Grande!
Half the reason I watch his videos is to catch his jokes. Did you notice the smirk after this one? He knew it was hilarious lol
The fourth wife must be either really gullible or one of those women that are into murderers and think they are the special one. Always baffles me how you can know all this and still be with that person.
Or she doesn't know about it.
@@KamalasFakePolls With the internet, all will be revealed.
Wow Exactly!! You are so point on right!!!! Good to see when people know what there talking about! I’m so happy you came to that conclus
I grew up in the Plymouth brethren. Yes, they are a cult.
I met the family just months before this happened. The wife was not very nice and not attractive in the least.
After David was out of prison he moved to Toledo ohio for a few years before moving to Florida.
Many of my friends who knew David eventually believed his was guilty.
Both David’s family and the wife’s family were on an episode of Sally Jesse Raphael a few years after the trial all supporting David and asking he get a new trial.
Your comment should be pinned.. I 💯 believe he murdered them and I did not know him or the family. He's clearly a sociopath.
The wife wasn’t nice because look what she was putting up with behind closed doors.
@@brianogrady9031Ironically, very religious people are some of the most unfriendly people I’ve ever encountered. I think it comes from the stress of always making sure they’re doing the right thing and the belief that everyone other than them is evil.
From thinking you are evil for being outside their cult, don't want to be contaminated by your presence.
I also grew up in the Plymouth Brethren, but I must not have been part of the same group that you were a part of. After leaving most are still kind and friendly to me and at worst simply encouraged me to come back. But I have looked into common behaviors of cults and I personally have not experienced cult-like behavior from the ones that I know and grew up with.
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Flu shot time so far is all right. Arm soreness yesterday disappeared with some Tylenol.
Those kids had no childhood, and then were murdered by axe by their own father who got away with it. RIP to those beautiful babies 💔
Thank you Dr. Grande......Grand as always ❤
❤Great show!❤
What a story. Too bad he found a way to beat the system. These things have a way of leveling out. He'll face some kind of justice in his life. Just imagine living with that guilt and fear of being discovered.
Guilt? I doubt he feels that. Just like he probably doesn't feel shame. Like the story about the prostitute who resorts to the use of Rouge due to the fact that she's been unable to blush for decades. But it doesn't fool anyone.
I doubt he feels guilt, he's a monster
@@Aqua-Fyre Seems like he was doing just fine in prison! At first I thought he was framed, then I thought that he paid for the hits; now, I think he actually did it after hearing the part about the timestamp and his timeline. Him being creepy with the models and not acting sad enough for the cops wasn't enough to convince me, but the timing is what I don't understand. He could have said he wanted to drive through the night in order to get a good start on selling braces or just because he is a night owl, and someone else Could have walked into their unlocked home and done that ..but why? If they didn't look into the brother in law or anybody else around that community, then I can see why it was overturned.
He will be judged by the One True God
@@Aqua-Fyre Which is why OJ was found not guilty? 😏
Hello Dr. Grande, and another excellent video. I see you have lots of other requests here, and I'm wondering if you'd add mine to consider. I've just watched the trial of Tim Ferriter, amazed that these parents didn't know they are guilty of aggregated child abuse. I understand why Tim didn't accept the plea deal, refusing to testify against his wife. Please speculate! I'm also irritated that he was not taken into custody immediately upon police learning about the room the boy was locked into. Thank you!
Perhaps when you have time you could do a Murder Part episode on this. Maybe get more research into the case. Would love to see the 3 of you discussing this.
Very cool how Dr. Grande offers his opinion with analysis on what happened. Many channels are too afraid to do that. I think the State got lucky getting a conviction the first time with no physical evidence.
Woo! thank you for bringing us a "to be as intriguing as..." comparison phrase. With your prodigious output, I accepted that this treat was no longer worth it. Lovely surprise, thank you Dr. Grande.
I love your vídeos
I was raised in a Really similar way as the Brethren. It's a devastating upbringing but definitely not an excuse to commit a heinous crime.
Have to confess to liking this backdrop more.
Back in the 1980's (and before and until the 2000) the only way to hear about murders not in your state was to read the book. I've read many of them by different true crime authors and remember reading this story. Don't remember all the small details nor of the fact that he eventually got out of prison (that took place after the book was written) to marry several more times. What I do remember is that he did cheat on her and had had a couple of affairs while married. They made a bigger deal about the fact that their religion didn't allow for divorce. His solution was to kill his family and hope to be found not guilty and start over. What's most surprising is that he found 3 other women who would marry him. Are women really that desperate ? (To answer my own question apparently so in many instances).
As someone who grew up in Plymouth Brethren, I feel like Dr Grande slightly mischaracterized them, so I will add context for those interested. Their beliefs are similar to most Christians with a few differences. The largest difference would be the lack of a pastor or leader, although some sects of it do have elders. They are diverse in both ethnicity and practices, and I personally knew people in the church from every continent, except Antarctica, lol.
Some do celebrate Christmas and have TVs, and some see it as sinful. Most (probably all) see Halloween as evil and would not participate, but not all of them would hand out tracts instead. Most Plymouth Brethren do interact with others outside of their church. Although they do tend to wear suits and dresses on Sundays, most of them would be indistinguishable from the average person out in public on all other days.
In terms of divorce, it is looked down upon, but neither person in a divorce would be forced to leave the church, rather the person initiating the divorce would not be allowed to take part in communion. They would be encouraged to work out their differences/problems and ultimately stay together. In some circumstances where one partner completely leaves and the person within church gets remarried, they can still participate in communion. However, divorce is not a common occurrence within the Brethren. When someone in the church is found to be "living in sin" they are not kicked out usually, rather they are told to fix their behavior, and not to take part in communion until they repent before God. Usually, this happens through discussions with the older individuals in the church to reinstate someone having communion (similar for someone to join). Visitors are welcome to the church (and love bombing may occur), but participation in communion is not welcome unless the others in the church have given their approval.
I hope this long summary adds some context to the beliefs of individuals involved in this tragedy. As a family they may have been more fundamentalist than others within the Brethren. It is unfortunate that justice was not served in this case. Thanks to Dr Grande for shedding light on this case.
Also, I personally don't know anyone related to the family in this case, and I had not heard about it until a few years ago from another RUclipsr. I can only speak to the beliefs of the group that I grew up in. I have left the church, but still receive kindness and friendship from the individuals I know.
As others commented, these are the kind of dangerous people, those with easy access to their victims, few warning signs or previous behavior who scare me the most. It's that monster next door, in the office, on PTA boards, places of worship, non-descript entities blending into daily landscape, coaches, professionals in authority positions pre-vetted and equipped with implied authority, those who often serve as surrogate protectors, etc. 😢💔 As we navigate through our lives and teach loved ones about "stranger danger", this is the type of warning - one about 'dangerous chameleons' - that's the MOST necessary, nuanced and sadly disillusioning for the 'students' (not all are children or young, just most trusting). 😢😒😤💔
Found not guilty 😮. What part of Florida? Avoid it.
The real crime is David ordering a vegetarian pizza at Chuck E Cheese.
❤Thank you Doc❤Sending LOVE, please pass it on.❤TY🎉
This case is so similar to the Jason Young case. He murdered his pregnant wife in the middle of the night and went to another state to make sales calls, just like David Hendricks.
Yes king go off
“Hi, this is Dr Grande”; I wave back everytime
Another great video!! Can you cover the case of lars mittank please. 🙏
I grew up in a fundamentalist family who didn't celebrate Halloween either. Such a buzzkill when Trick or Treaters showed up. But at least my Mom threw a "Halleluhah Party" every year at the church which was really fun looking back. Life's a mixed bag, lol.
Did he really have to drive to another state to make a few business phone calls? That, alone, seems a bit sussy. Like he was just attempting to build an alibi.
Thanks for the video on this. Nice to see the old wall again!
Hello Dr. Grande.💫
It’s hard to keep up with your background decor! It’s brick, curtains, different cactus…keeps it interesting as the stories!
Omg -I just choked on my saliva Dr Grande😂😂😂😂
Dr. G your sense if himor cracks me up. You keep a totally straight face during the commen ts about the pamphlets being handed out to trick or treaters. And them being closer to hot tamales due to the fire and brimstone in the pamphlets. Lol
Oh, wow! Second upload in one day!
A mad man of this world.
If he's guilty of his family's murder, he's a monster to be able to murder his wife and children.
I remember seeing clips of investigators using luminol on the show Forensic Files.
Those "treats" (the religious pamphlets) would never be forgotten by trick-or-treaters, they would talk about that 30 years later.
It would be a major transition to go to another life.
Ahh yes! Two videos earlier and a 2 am'r....last call Doc!
Hello Doc G ❤
Whoa. A Brick background video was still in there somewhere
It takes approximately one hour for food to digest after you eat it and that is why they are able to put a timeline on when someone died if they have an idea of when they ate something. For anyone just wondering that
Please do one on the murder of Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell and surely Chuck Morgan. Chucks death is so mysterious and mythical it seems!
Not sure how, if you saw a family member being hacked up with an ax, you'd stand there and let it be done to you too.
Most likely he sent the children to bed (or at least their bedrooms) and then killed the wife first. Even if the children had heard anything, being in a cult and taught to obey, they likely wouldn't have left their rooms without permission.
@@thelogicaldanger Some people shouldn't be parents.
There is an interesting book regarding this case called Reasonable Doubt.
He left his kids at Chuckie Cheeses, wow have things changed.
Eating a vegetarian pizza at Chuk E. Cheese ? That's already a crime deserving prison 😂😂
what? here I am listening to music on a Friday night and Doctor Grande's done posted a video?
DR giving us a midnight video. Thanks
6am for me and very happy indeed 😅❤
@@plowe6751so what
@@plowe6751 yep 😊 me and my cat love DrG time
I ran into David in a Target as a child. He was in the toy section after being acquitted. He scared me, and I turned and ran to find my mom. I have always felt he and his brother in law were guilty. I have lived in the same city where this happened my whole life, and this case will always bother me. I was in fourth grade when it happened and have researched this case extensively because it sticks with you.
Bullseye! great analysis great ending comments!
Ooooo, the old set!!
David, wanting his cake and eating it too !!! 🎂
I like to see Dr Grande just lose it and crack up after one of his witty stone face observation s. Got a blooper reel Doc????😮❤
It seems strange that he would commit the murder using an ax that belonged to him. He takes the time to set an alibi with his business trip but doesn't jimmy the door so it looks like a break in? Very bizarre murder case.
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only pointing out that The Society for Real Cacti approves this message.
I like how Dr. Grande actually understands what beyond a reasonable doubt means. A lot of people cannot grasp this concept. When you serve on a jury, it's not about whether you think the person is guilty. It's whether the state has proven beyond a reasonable doubt the person is guilty. A not-guilty verdict doesn't mean the person didn't do it. It simply means the state failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the person DID do it.
How Heartbreaking this is! An Innocent Family Murdered! 🥀🥀🥀🥀🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏 I was wondering if he was having an affair.
There are many innocent families murdered - ducks, chickens, cows, sheep, rabbits. They are murdered when the forest is cut down to build houses.
I like the cacti Doctor. An interesting theme.
I think you are trying to tell us something ,as well as the story. Mmm. Thanks for your interesting take on things. You are one of my favourite you tubers.
