I’ll think about it 🤔
Been on their subscription list for a bit now.
It sucks that the best part is missing
Already a subscriber too! For a while now and I like it! As well as some other favorites 😃
I used to sub to them, not really a fan. Very click-baity tactics.
Spoiler alert: in this video, the suspect never says "I'll tell you where I hid the body," and never confesses to murdering his girlfriend.
Thanks you just save me an hour of watching it 😂
There's a much better video about this case and interrogation on the channel JCS Criminal Psychology (although his actual confession isn't recorded so it's not shown on that channel either...his little breakdown after the confession is captured though. It's something.) Amazing channel...good quality, accurate, educational, entertaining, etc.
@@gena4638 And there is another one still that actually has all of the footage that JCS wasn't able to get at the time of their video. I can't remember which channel I saw it on, but he goes into the details that were previously held private by the county.
Anyway, I'm sure you can find it.
Thank you!!!!! 😮 I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting!!!!!! 😅
😂 thank you
It always amazes me how normal and civil this type of conversation sounds..could be a job interview
They are still human
you can bet his mind is racing 250mph but at the same time resigned to his fate! his whole world / life is ending in the space of a couple hours!
You have to gain some trust. If they went in hard and loud, they will shut down and tell them nothing!
And I’ve been in job interviews that have felt like interrogations.
As a psychiatrist we all are trained to pretend we are not
Shocked by anything we hear because if we acted like that most suspects wouldn’t open up to us. We give compliments to the person, like we know had a reason or we know your not a monster.
But honestly after your around people like this so long you kind of do get DeSensitized to it. Don’t get me wrong you still feel bad you still have empathy but after a while but nothing much shocks you.
It just amazes me how many people cannot say a simple sentence, such as; I want an attorney!
That's because people whether innocent or guilty think they can convince seasoned interrogators in their favor.
But should that be the first reaction to a suspect interrogation like this? How the perpetrator should have protected himself? Shouldn't it more be horror at the crime committed and gratitude that the person responsible was discovered?
Exactly what I say lawyer up they aren't your friends!!! Yes glad he's caught but ppl need to learn not to talk.
@@jpp1749 You can't have it both ways. U're glad he's caught but people should learn not to talk? The talking HELPS in d catching, don't u think?
No excuse what you did!serve your time????.
40 years is not enough.
I was eager to hear his words at first because I thought there was finally footage of him confessing but nope, video cuts right off.
I mean here he would get 16 years and able to be released after 8 if he behaves properly. He seems like the type that will die within the 40 years prison. So he'll die before he comes out anyway, 40 years or 400. Same outcome
@@niklaslund2204 i hope you're right and yeah, I've seen some cases with terrible outcomes involving that 16 years thing. It's pretty weird. Stay safe, sir.
All murderers should get either natural life sentence or the death penalty. And no please deals to murderers except when law enforcement can't find the murdered victim without the murderer.
@@carrieanncancino5118 It's important to give all prisoners the possibility of parole. It's vital to controlling behavior in prison. Even guys like Paul Bernardo will believe they can get parole and apply despite exactly zero chance of ever getting out. It keeps them in line.
This video is a waste of time he doesn’t confess on the video
Murdering someone to save your job at the Bonefish Grill. 🤡 😂
there was certainly a safe with tons of money under there at the grill. because it don't make no sense fr fr
@Caleb ~ I also think he was worried about his girlfriend finding out about his involvement with Savannah !
Yeah it's a load of crap. He was worried about losing his other girlfriend who he was cheating on and mooching off including living in her house.
Hope everybody enjoyed this beautiful holiday. I just know one thing. It’s better to be alone and lonely then involved and miserable, or killed for instance.
Happy thanksgiving
No risk, no reward.
Absolutely. Happy Thanksgiving.
Only just tho. Lol. Respect and love to all.
That's right
They always say guilty people lawyer up. No, only smart people lawyers up.
Exactly! Never talk to the police, ever!
The only people who say that are cops. Using your rights should never be proof of guilt
Murderers don't deserve lawyers 🤨
@@lifeinuganda1550 It's not what they deserve. They have the option to have one or represent themselves.
@@lifeinuganda1550 So what about innocent people accused of murder?
This detective begging the killer for a confession is disgusting. What a waste of a uniform..
imagine throwing away your life for your job at the bonefish grill.
😂🤣
Right 😂😂
The name of the restaurant 😂
I bet freedom and a job at the Bonefish Grill look pretty good to him now.
How ironic😂🤣
I really need to stop watching these.. I’m slowly self inflicting fear of going out, meeting people and dating. These people seem so normal it freaks me out. The worse part is seeing how our justice system fails us terribly. A person capable of murdering someone should never see light of day no excuses or a pedofile either. I’ve seen some case where their background history is soooooo long it’s crazy the system decided to let them lose and of course they commit an even worse crime. Just my thoughts.
Exactly why I stopped dating. People are crazy.
@@junedeike6144 It’s really scary out there. Humans are the only species that have this obsession with attachment. (Aside from a few animals that mate for life) I don’t understand how they can’t just walk away from a toxic or a relationship where you’re not happy just for the purpose of saying you’re with someone. I rather be by myself. And I’m much happier than more than half the couples out there. Lol stay blessed and safe.
Yes.For murderers only DEATH PENALTY.That's all.
@@richardmrachel-nickname-do4954 I agree. Unless you can solidly prove its self defense. I mean, that self defense proof has to be overwhelming. Lol
@@yaryace421 that's where I'm standing right now:(
If you're at a police station there is no reason to say anything other than "Am I free to leave?"
That's a fact. They still ain't found me guilty yet. I say am I free to go every 5 seconds
Criminals won’t talk to police but will dump their life story onto detectives 🕵️♀️ 🕵️♂️
You sound upset that this murderer confessed, do you prefer that he didn't?
@@monav4062 It's called knowing your rights! And just bc you DO know your rights, doesn't mean you've had experience with cops n interrogations..
Or “lawyer”, even if innocent.
I can’t even kill a spider let alone a human. Always amazes me how they talk like it’s nothing. Sad.
Right it kinda slip my mind the violence that occurred in real life to these victims.. the terror, confusion,betrayal, pain all while I’m watching this safe in my home
Same
Killing spiders is justifiable homicide.
Me too! I just can't get how u can take a human life and go on like nothing happened. How??
Rite!! It hurts me to see a lizard passed away, how can a human do this to another person, that’s someone’s daughter or mother
Wow even major media outlets were inspired by the way Jim can’t swim narrated these type of videos. Y’all need to give him credit on every upload.
JCS was also able to listen and repeat the pronunciation of a last name and nail a birthday down to the exact day.
Detective: “How do you pronounce your name?”
Lee: “Ro-DART-ee”
Narrator: “Lee ROW-dart..”
Detective: “Date of Birth?”
Lee: “8/11/88”
Narrator: “Born in 1989..”
guy goes along with the cops completely establishing a motive, unbelievable.
"So you needed her out of the way". "Yea- uhhh no i mean"
He doesn't seem very bright.. he's a bonefish grill manager, of course not
@@brianbadonde9251 "the texts were riddled with misspellings and improper grammar so the parents knew they weren't from their daughter"
He also understood he had a right to a lawyer and proceeded with the interrogation without one present.
You sound upset? Would you rather he was never incarcerated at all for his murder?
His poor mother. Imagine having TWO kids and BOTH in prison for MURDER. '(
She is on drugs as well...
Both of them for not being able to accept that they weren't getting what they wanted, or people weren't doing what they wanted... I wasn't there and I hate to make assumptions, but......
His mother seems to be part of the problem, one child might be an anomaly but two of your children is a pattern, especially if those are her only children
@@taniarembert possibly. There are some parents who's children all go off the rails through no fault of their own. I don't know anything about his mother so I can't judge.
Well both parents did drugs how do they think their children will turn out?
The poorly spelled texts with the bad grammar are the CHEF’S KISS!!
Never go full Rodarte.
Hay, dis suhvana jus won’t tu let y’all no I’m leeving tunite wit a man. Hav a gud live. Suhvana rodarte
Man, I don’t drop character till I done the dvd commentary
Jesus i need a spell che.....nevermind..just nevermind
Haha!
Haha oh man that’s good. Love the tropic thunder reference 😅
Imagine watching this for a hour just to never hear him actually confess ..
Thanks for saving my time... I am bored already
That’s me, ugh 😂 I forgot to check here first.
he does confess, the end part was never released by the prosecutors office for some reason. He broke her neck and burned her in the backyard and dumped her body in pond or lake.
eeeeeehhhhhh!!!!
Please remind me NOT to tell this guy any Secrets !
For real
I'll bet $10 the female detective has Meryl Streep posters plastered all over her house
😂
One thing that stands out to me watching quite a few of these police interrogations is that the suspects treat it like they are in a psychologists therapy session. Spilling all kinds of details of his petty little situational problem. The police just want to get him admit what happened to savanna it’s not a mental health council sessions
yeah they feel like they have to say something but clever cops can use anything to get a suspect to talk
If he admitted to his therapist this she would be forced to report him either way.
I cant believe how they don't ask for an attorney to be quite honest. It actually does seem like they think they're talking to a therapist
@@wetley09 Not everyone can afford a good attorney. And if you're getting a public defender then you might as well not even have a lawyer.
@@RolandSpecialSauce True true but somethings better than nothing if only they make you aware that you don't have to talk and being able to offer them advice from someone thinking clearly.
A horrible excuse for a human ....lock him up & throw away the key on the sicko..!
Why can’t people like him come with Warning ⚠️ Signs tattooed on their forehead!?
They do. You just have to see them coming. First clue: bonefish grill. Just consider all of them suspect until they prove you wrong.
They put a warning on cigarette packs, did not stop anyone. People know heroin is a life altering drug that will kill you either very slowly or right away,, it will have you hanging around other scumbags, some of whom are dangerous. But still there are More addicts every day. This guy came with a warning, he was a drug using loser. He had two girlfriends. He lost them both due to drugs, which led to him cheating on the first gal. There were plenty of warning signs. They didn't help at all...
Ugh it drives me insane when people say "um" after every second word 🙄.
It's s sign of a low IQ smart one
Yeah same with “like”
Um you Um are right um 😂
Hate it.
Wow. They're literally begging, she's crying and says "please" at least 150 times. That interrogation hurt my head.
Well, those begs and pleas must have jarred something loose because he ended up crying while also confessing.
The female detective is working my nerves, She's begging like her husband is bout to leave her🤦🤷
Oh my! 😭
Why would anyone beg her husband not to leave when she can claim alimony + child support
Yes it was too annoying. Detectives shouldn’t behave in the manner.. trying to beg and plead a confession out of a guy you know murdered someone lol
When he stated that she the female that was killed and murdered was not hanging out with good people from her past he was right about that but he was talking about himself the whole time unfortunately!
Absolutely
"I tooken one...." = high school graduate
Looking over your comments you really do have a superiority complex
That place must have good food if the staff are that committed to the job
JCS has a _brilliant_ breakdown if this interrogation that people should watch!
@@loveforeignaccents yes, thank you!
Agree it’s really worth a watch. Beside the dying fire is good also, and dreading
You wasted your life man.
The worst liar ever and he's where he belongs rest in peace Savannah nobody can hurt you now
The problem is women sleep around before marriage and get in these dangerous situations. I have zero sympathy for Savannah.

@@shannonlee8864 The filth must continue eh Shannon. What's your body count? over 100? disgusting
Lady cop does a good job but can’t screech like that it’s dreadful.
Took that addy thinking he could think of a way to outsmart the interrogators
I want my hour back he NEVER ADMITS TO ANYTHING ON THIS CRAP VIDEO.
How does he not realize this detective has been picking his story apart, PIECE BY PIECE!! Lol
Oh wow! Nothing like saying you were the last one to talk to her…. and nobody has said that.
I will never speak to a policeman again about anything. The last time I tried to be helpful to the police, it wound up costing me about $600.00 including fines, court costs, gas and parking.
Of cos u did nothing wrong, right?
Well...what happened?
If a cop tries to stop me I'm booking it lmaoo if I got weed I ain't taking no chances even if I'm a medical patient afterwards If I have to I'll explain why I fled cuz I had weed and I'm a medical card user they'd have no authority to arrest me haha smart golden except running not too smart except ion like cops fearful if em so coukd you blame me nah bruh tbh most people would flee anyways its fight or flight response
no one cares
@@tabaks and yet u replied
Lee pronounces his last name at the very start of the video but the narrator still says it wrong 🤦🏻♂️
So, where is the part that he said what the title says? We don't need clickbait.
Moral of the stor don't hang out with scum bags, junkies, alcoholics anyone who swears or gives you a hard time and no respect. F the
Sheesh 40yrs! I swear crime isn't worth it man.
It’s so obvious that he’s making up his story as he goes along and didn’t think this thru
Asks how to pronounce last name and still gets it wrong
Building rapport to have him open up
Good interrogation!
Only 40 years for murder. Despicable that he would ever be allowed to walk free after taking another person’s life.
Just wait until you see the impaired driving sentences in Canada. You can kill a person, be out in 2 and driving again 5 years later.
Hes gonna be old when he gets out either way if he even survives that long some ppl get sick and never come out ..
At least he’s not in Canada where the maximum life sentence is 25 years
At least they nailed him.
Not everyone gets life. Right or wrong, 40 years is a pretty standard sentence.
Heroin does not make you paranoid my dude. Just the opposite.
You guys even hired a narrator that sounds like JCS Criminal Psychology 😆
This narrator sounds nothing like Kizzume. Go check out his RUclips channel and you'll see, and hear.
@@roxannemoser I think he does!
Evil monsters are around us wherever we go. This dude was a manager at bonefish grill and just think of all times people ate there and got served by this monster. Dude probably went back to work the next day like nothing happen. I wonder how long it took before he got caught and wasn't feeding or running bonefish grill? Can u imagine evil monster just running a restaurant and knows the walls are closing in and just starts poison everyone that comes in there and try to bring down everyone. Sick sick world
Ladies & Gentlemen please do NOT do drugs. Drugs can ruin your lives and lead to being in jail or lose your job
Not always. You could write awesome music like Jimi Hendrix did.
@@DaveZee823 you could also die at age 28 from an overdose Iike like he did too.
Some ppl live life better high and unfortunately its a terrible thing but they chase that devil and live life like they aren't doing anything..
Or dead
@@Casinogirl56 He didn't die of an OD he died because the paramedic did not put him in the recovery position correctly which caused him to die from choking on his own vomit!
DONT WATCH THIS PEOPLE. Clickbait says I WILL TELL YOU WHERE I I HID THE BODY but he never does. Video just cuts at the end.. Don’t waste your precious time 😅
@@January. Thanks. Corrected 😊
The female detective is so annoying
These interrogators suck. Their whole shtick is to beg for a confession.
Side note, there’s no confession in this video……quite misleading
How do people revert to such animalistic behaviour? How do they go about their business showing no remorse or fear knowing what they did?
Animals don't do that.
agree, lovely people can`t imagine this
Oh my gosh, so true and we wouldn't have to listen to the annoying cop lady go on and on and on.
Always wondered what happened to Jeremy Kyle, turns out he's now a detective!
So 40 years is what a life is worth??? 🤬
In Canada it's only worth 25 years as that's our maximum sentence
@@realcanadiangirl64 That's crazy!! 🤬 If someone takes a life, out of cold blood, their life should be taken also!! I'll be glad to pull the switch! One of my brother's murderers only got 40 years but then thru a "LOOPHOLE" he was only given 20 years & then in 2020, in only 18 years he was granted parole for GOOD BEHAVIOR!! 🤬 Seriously? HE'S A MURDERER! Anyway he was released 2 years ago!
@@dianeshane6493 Definitely an Injustice!! I don't know the reason he murdered your brother because some circumstances are worse than others but regardless 18 years isn't enough!! I sincerely hope you and your family can eventually get the closer you need to move on! 🙏
Why is this guy talking to police without a lawyer? Crazy!
I swear they are at a sports bar , downing some beers & Chatting it up . 🙄🙄 just baffles me how he can just be so composed after what he’s done .
0:55 The suspect specifically tells the detective how to pronounce his last name. Then the narrator proceeds to mispronounce it for the next hour. Annoying.
People, like him, act as if the police can't verify what they've said . . . 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
He gives me the chills with his calm quiet approach
It baffles me how someone could murder their ex girlfriend. Try to burn them. Then Dump their body. Then Go home, actually have the appetite to eat, let alone have your new girlfriend come over, and act like nothing has ever happened. Wtf is wrong with people.
Think I’ll stay single for a while
Hey man, his illustrious career at the Bonefish Grill was in danger and his dream life, evaporating with every ridiculously unbelievable part he added to his ruse.
Just looking for something to watch them this popped up 👍 thanks
Female detective tries to illicit the truth by becoming emotional but the persistent begging is uncreative and lacks tactic.
I love when the detectives have their own fun personalities like this bow tie wearing detective 😊 or a male judge with long hair
Estha, you hav a fetish, honey
Have you seen the homicide squad that all wear fedoras they look absolutely amazing
@@tarissagray6163 I've never heard of them! Do they have a RUclips channel?
@@heezypeasy8611 pretty sure they would but I know I first saw them on the first 48
@@tarissagray6163 Oh ok thank you! I'll see what I can find 😁
The female detective is not very good at her job. What drives me nuts is how emotional and how hysterical she starts getting. I mean, it is almost embarrassing. I wish she was not involved in the interrogation. I hope she does not interview people often because she is horrible at it. You cannot get that hysterical when interviewing people. The male detective was probably dying inside.
"Ya' know" x 30
That woman detective needs to develop another interview technique other than crying and screeching, my god, it was like watching just a random woman they pulled off the street. I hope she knows that you can use you're brain and interview techniques to get someone to confess. What an embarrassment to that police force she is. Nobody cares that you have a daughter the same age or you're crying. It's so cringey to watch. Funny how the male detective doesn't reduce himself to a blubbering mess!!!
*your brain
This happened in my city. So sad..old case but still feel bad for that young lady
wow anyone that spends that much time explaining their "discussion" in the car is trying to hard avoid the end. what a horrible liar... and it just gets worse. corndogs bruh!?
Good thing i don't have to deal with the police because i generally delete each text after i read it. How come he doesn't ask for an Attorney?
He’s definitely not a Mensa candidate.
There are no words for people like him.
Hey….this is just a poor man’s JCS!
Why plead with someone that doesn't care???
That lady gave him
WAAAYYY too much info..
she made it tougher to get him to talk..
I'm willing to admit to anything and everything if it would get the woman detective to stop pleading. I can't take it. 😫
Why did this cut off? I've seen this before. He gets up, cries like a baby. Talks to himself. It was hilarious. From this view that looks like Baker Mayfield sitting there....
Detective: Tell me how you pronounce your last name.
Lee: Rodarte.
Detective: Okay, Rodar-Tay.
Did I miss the part where he confessed or is this title misleading?
I saw this video on JCS Criminal Psychology. This happenned is Jacksonville, Florida i believe. He did confess but JSO didnt release that footage to the public
The female investigator is horrible.
I mean she's the one who got him to confess so she's doing something right
Imagine getting only 20 years for murder. I bet his sister only serves a little over half that time. 😡
The teardrop twins
Has anyone admitted anything in the history of being begged for an answer?!
The woman is so emotional here. I don’t think it was professional.
Very cringe
He doesn’t care. He would strangle her as well if he had too.
It was a deliberate use of the "reframing" and "ego-up" technique.
"I know you're not a bad person."
"I'm sure it was just an accident."
"You're not a monster, but what do you think people will say when they find out you didnt help us when you had the chance?"
The whole point is to get the guy to open the door and partially confess to something, and then use that to get the real confession. And the tactic worked because he does confess. You can find the full confession on RUclips.
They were hoping this guy felt guilty for killing Savanah, so they were presenting an "opportunity" for some kind of redemption. In truth, they don't care about him at all, they just want the confession.
She was (over)acting. Feigning emotion.
He’s saying he took Adderall because he knows if they can’t do a lie detector test on him. Him pulse will be elevated! Smart move…
Now this was a good tip
I’m sorry but that was a terrible interrogation. Especially by the woman detective! 🙈🙄
@@WonLotto100M I agree. She was horrible and so irritating. It always annoys me when they tried to say if you don't confess, the public will think you're heartless as if that will mean more to them than keeping themselves out of prison for the remainder of their life.
At minute 16:53
“…she had her phone in her hand…” , as he looks down at his own hand. That tidbit wouldn’t be important unless he wants to highlight that she left with her phone.
These interrogators skills aren't great. They don't know the secret of staying quiet, like a prolonged pregnant pause once he clams up. He needed time to let it sink in that they had evidence. Instead they keep saying, "Where is she? Where is she? Tell us! Tell us!" I'm amazed he didn't say, "OK. I need a lawyer."
ya at around 45 minutes the female detective started to get way to emotional almost yelling at him. plus men like him don't like being confronted by women
That is my main complaint against some interrogators. The cops never stop suggesting scenarios which works in some cases, but long pauses also work.
Ugh this female detective is an awful interrogator
you pill the scab at work omg 🤢🤢
Dang it always amazes me that these murderers can come and talk to police after committing such heinous crimes and talk so cool and calm like they aren’t evil souls🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Should've called Saul Goodman...
Sounds like he was more worried about chealsea finding out, than his job finding out
JCS Criminal Psychology did a fantastic video about this case
Looking for this comment
This video gave me some JCS vibes.
Detective to Lee at 1:03: DOB is 8/11/88?
Lee: yes
Narrator at 3:04: Most of Lee Rodarte's early life is unknown. He was born in 1989
That just irritates me.
That female detective saying “please” over and over again is so irritating! JUST TELL HER G*D DAMMIT!!
@@Nook747 I was about to say, once you hear it, it’s like she doesn’t stop for the rest of the video! I’m over here confessing, and I didn’t even do anything, because I just want her to stop talking!
Ugh…the woman cop makes me nauseous. I couldn’t listen to her for 5 seconds.
Thanks for stating that here. Not trying to take away from the situation and the victim, but she gets on my last nerve
imagine her husband
Why has this video got 'confession' in the title when there's no actual confession it
They released the unedited video where he does confess.
I've seen this one a few times so it was crazy to see the actual confession.
It's on here somewhere.
clickb8
He may be a POS but I honestly need some Tylenol after listening to this woman right here 😵💫🤕
Someone had to say it!
@@AustinLnX That woman’s high pitch yelling, begging, and pleading was so hard to tolerate! I know she is doing her job it’s not that. It’s THAT VOICE..the nagging and constant repeating is something I’ve never seen in any interrogation and I’m grateful (that voice🤪) UGGH
@@LuisaD93 "Please... oh please! Please! Please tell me!" Sounded like a kid asking his mom what presents are under the tree 😆
