Murdering a stranger is horrible and evil, murdering your best friend is another level of evil...
Well, apparently they were not best friends...
Apparently they where good friends, but not best friends
I conclude he's always hated Mike probably jealous of the person Mike was that he could never become.
@@rhemawilliams4983 hates him for something he would never be, but loves him for something he inspired to be
Perhaps it was one sided childhood friend relationship on Mike’s end not this monster 🤢
Mike's Mother is the true hero. She never gave up, kept putting the pressure on. I'm sorry she had to go through this. 💖
Mothers are the heroes we all have. God bless all mothers
Barbara Wonderful woman, she will meet her son again in heaven. Other two will rendezvous in a different direction.
I glad she never gave up and put this two hyenas y prison I hope they never seen the sun again 🤬🤬🐀
So sorry for her! She is indeed sweet lady!
We can give her the Mother of the decade award.
When you have a friend like him, you don’t need an enemy 😢
RIP Mike
This guy acts ike hes narrating someone's story he never met. I see no remorse at all he never figured it out that she didn't want him for sex love she only wanted him as the patsy to kill her husband than wanted a divorce from him yet she wouldn't divorce the her husband? How stupid can 1 be ? If she can kill one man she had a child with why wouldn't she do the same 2 you?.these people should be put away from society for being stupid nothing more than you have to be in prison for.life for being stupid
That’s why I don’t have friends 😂
Brian Winchester had a horrible life. So, he took his horrible to another family. Word to Brian Winchester, remember 2 can not hold a secret.
Best Friend ur Best Enemy
@@steveadams7940it was like 20 years ago, people tend to forget, rethink, rationalize. He was living with the guilt all that time, he told Denise he wanted to end his life and wasn’t happy
This is the most horrible case. I cannot even imagine how Mike felt those last minutes, realizing the people he loved were murdering him. His Mother got him justice.
Yeah exactly, early in the morning quiet as ever besides birds chirping out there on the lake. He somehow got Mike to stand up. Probably said something like what’s that over there in the water and pushes him over. Mike in his head is panicking trying to get everything off and he rides the boat a complete circle around him and comes up and shoots him in the face.
There are plenty of cases worse than this. This would be in the 100’s in the top 1000
@@1974dormouse I can disagree.
@@1974dormouse There isn’t many cases where a best friend since preschool killed one another over the wife with this much planning etc. This case stands out in a lot of ways.
@@1974dormouse Another horrific case was Chris Watts pushing his 2 daughters in oil tanks alive. They had to be horrified. There are cases like this one.
She didn’t want her daughter to have to go back and forth if she divorced her husband, but now her child has no parents. Brilliance
Right? Didnt want a divorce but having an affair in the first place and murder is completely okay?! Shes sick. She had a good life and a loyal husband but it wasn't enough for her. So sad for Mike and those he left behind
No, they both knew if they divorced thier significant others that she'd hav to get a JOB and he'd have to pay child support for his SON, and she wanted the MILLION DOLLARS. Period.
The daughter got the whole estate though. Score. Now off to find her own “Florida Man.”
@@Garrus86 I thought exact same thing
I always wonder about the parents self-centered thinking. Leaving children behind without thought
This guy's confession of the murder shows that the cops investigating the scene did a terrible job.
CSI expectation vs reality
Wow; unless his conscious or Denise pleaded with him, or even his kid's, Brady Neal?
@@jjjqqq1959 Denise Williams was the reason, she got sentenced to life in prison. Brian got a plea bargain.
Facts: “Man comes up missing at lake.”
Cops: “Crocodiles did it”
Facts: “No body or body parts identified.”
Cops: “Crocodiles ate ALL of him”
Facts: “Crocodiles are less active in cold weather.”
Cops: “Crocodiles did it”

Cops: “Crocodiles did it”
Fact: “Hunting license and flashlight found in pristine condition 6 months after he’s been missing”

Basically like.. they always thrown all the job away
The poor daughter lost her father to a heinous murder by a close family friend and by her own mother, and has lost her mother to the consequences of the crime. May GOD guide her to love, strength and peace.
By her step-dad!
@jinakurd2010💯💯💯
😊
😊
And to truth. She still believes her stepdad did it all and her mother was a victim. Her relationship with her dead father's mother has been poisoned by her own mother. Soon her only heritage of her dead father will be gone forever. One day she will actually watch one of the logical presentations and learn how she has been fooled. I'll be very suprised if she lives a happy life, she has her mother to thank for that
This just proves how much Mike trusted him. He did what he said, believed what he said, he never saw this coming smh.
Heart breaking : (
"Mike was a workaholic and she didn't like that " ... damn, I wish I could find a man that cared about supporting his family
Jasmine Hanway You sounds like a fucking gold digger 😂... there’s a difference between paying bills and workaholic
@@MrTimbaline negative.. just tired of worthless pieces of shit that don't work. Big difference
I agree with you jasmine. It's hard to find a husband who is loyal, hard worker and trustworthy
I know lots of those guys not being appreciated .
Men (more so to be classified as boys) around here is a rarity to work at all.🙄 Hell, when I do decide to date again. I'd be over the moon happy to be able to find one that would simply keep the damn job that I met him with.👀🤷🏼♀️👀 One of the many reasons why I don't date the "little boys" around here!!😒
I don't expect any man to support me financially. So, I'm not going to support any man financially.💯
“I was not a great husband...” No sir, you are not a good human in general. Smh
He’s not human at all. A monster pretending to be human.
"I found out my wife was being unfaithful, and it absolutely crushed me. So I figured I'd hunker on over to my best friends place, fuck his wife, kill him, and then live happily with his wife while surviving on his life insurance policy."
@@mrjackqueli8779 a literal devil among men.
Forget a good husband. You were a danger to society. With your plotting butt
@@SerlingPictures haaaaaaa! Exactly.
The sad thing is, he only told because he and Denise broke up and now he is in trouble for domestic related incident. They lived together with this secret for almost twenty years.
I literally said this , he didnt deserve easy trial at all
@@rediettadesse2828the wife showed her guilt by telling the mother to stop pursuing the cause of his death.
What Brian did is obviously truly horrible, but there is a part of me that enjoys that Denise underestimated him. I think she is so self-absorbed that it never occurred to her that if she threw Brian away and took away basically his sole reason for committing the crime that a combination of his desire to get even with her and also to purge his guilt over a crime that had been eating him alive would be more powerful than his desire for life, freedom, or avoiding public shame.
She didnt pull the trigger , he is a demon and doesnt deserve an easy trial
@@rediettadesse2828 Well, Hitler also didn’t actually physically kill most of the people who were killed in the concentration camps. I personally believe there are things we can learn from the Milgram Experiments and what we know about Stockholm Syndrome, etc. In my world view, the person who actually pulls the trigger isn’t always the most evil or the most responsible. But if that’s your world view I can respect it and see some argument for it.
Also, to be absolutely clear, I believe that Brian is a truly evil person who was willing to have an affair with his best friend’s wife and also to kill his best friend in cold blood. He doesn’t get off Scot-free in my mind at all. Denise certainly didn’t have enough control over him that she could have forced him to do either of those things if his commitment to his friend and his morals had been absolute. He will serve some years in prison for that, and I believe he will also face God for what he has done. I also believe he will face Mike in the next life and will have to explain himself. I have a feeling that for him the moment of facing Mike will be the biggest part of hell for him. He is not okay. As I said originally, what Brian did is obviously truly horrible.
However, looking at the psychology in play, I solidly believe that even though she wasn’t the one to actually pull the trigger, Denise is even MORE responsible. I don’t think she refused to pull the trigger because she cared about Mike and wanted him to live. I personally suspect based on the evidence presented that she didn’t want to do it because she didn’t want to risk being caught. When Mike was dead, I get the feeling Brian was racked with guilt (which doesn’t excuse it or change the fact that he did it and would do it again in the immediate aftermath). From Denise, I get the impression she was relieved that a minor inconvenience had finally been dealt with. In other words, to her it was kind of like Mike finally got around to swatting that annoying mosquito that had been flying around her kitchen fur the last few days. Denise comes off as having zero empathy for anyone and zero problem using people as disposable tools to make her life as convenient and comfortable as possible. There are many people who live like that. To me, in this case I believe her fatal flaw that got her caught was she assumed her accomplice was as disconnected and self-serving as she was. It never once occurred to her that her accomplice was actually racked with guilt and was only ignoring it because his desire to be with her was stronger than his desire to confess and that as soon as she took the relationship away he would completely unravel and need to do as much of the right thing as it was still in his power to do.
Once again, that doesn’t get Brian off the hook. The fact that his desire to be with Denise was so strong that it could overpower his love for his best friend to the point he would kill him really tells me all I ever need to know about his morality, and it is not a good conclusion. But I do find it beautiful that Denise made such a strategic error in her plans. And I do personally still believe Denise is magnitudes greater in her level of evil. Why pull the trigger when you can easily manipulate someone else to do it for you? If that is the only reason a person didn’t pull the trigger, they get zero points for not being the one to actually do it.
She was religious so she didn’t want a divorce, but murder is ok. WTH?
Evil people will grab anything to hide their evil deed.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄yea right???
Right!!
she was / is "pretending" to be Religious .... !
Agreed. Affairs, lies and deceit was ok too. Very strange religion...must be devil worship.
The confusion, terror, and betrayal Mike must’ve felt during the last moments of his life is unimaginable. God rest his soul🙏🏼
The poor man died with a firm disappointment in marriage and friendship, something that if he'd learn earlier could've prolonged his life several more years.
I couldn’t imagine either.
😢😢😢
Absolutely! Poor guy. Your best friend pushes you in the water then circles back with a gun. He must've been terrified thinking: What on Earth? Why Brian? Why?
Q triste
Imagine telling your enemy your innermost thought and unaware that this person is planning to end your life.What a evil world we are living in.This man is a cold blooded murderer.
Is this a true story?
@@niclopez4966
Yes, it’s true.
I have told people things like this happen to people this is not a movie
Were they (brian & denise)taking drugs?
Why do you ask that? Florida has a bad drug problem
This is so sad and scary. You can’t trust anyone anymore. Mike must have been so scared and shocked in his last moments. I hope they see him everytime they close their eyes.
“I wasn’t a very good husband”. You sir, weren’t a good husband, a good father, a good friend or anything else.

Hahaha that's exactly what I was thinking!
Rest in Heaven Mike. You didn't deserve any of those things that happened to you.
This is one of the most disturbing stories I’ve heard in a long while. It’s absolutely disgusting in every sense I can imagine. I’m sick watching it but can’t pull away. 🤬 Rest in peace Mike💙
BLESSES All Watch Documentary "Did OJ really Do It! No they are All Involved Maybe Even Morher.Wierdo Dazeys ?!
Mike seems like a pure soul he didnt deserve this
He keeps saying “I didn’t have a choice”, but literally every decision he made was a concious and calculated CHOICE 🙄
@@mrobvious5892 opà
HIs point, obviously, is that at that juncture, if he wanted to try and cover it up, he had no choice but to load Mike's body in his bronco. He couldn't leave him laying there to be found.
Everyone knows the general principle that we all make choices and they have consequences. Just in some situations, it appears the choices are very limited and some choices are not an option depending on what your goal is.
@@2684dennis Exactly right.
2 sides
His choice was Denise and the money, no doubt. This wasn’t a friend!
So wife couldn’t get a divorce because her morals but murder sounded like a good substitute 🙃🤡
She wanted the money he had
Yeah, its just wonderful decision
She was just greedy.
Obviously like he said it's better to be a rich widow than a broke divorcee. That's the only reason for not divorcing him.
She care about her name than his life.. 😡
Wow when you can't trust your childhood sweetheart or best friend then who can you trust. We live in a cruel cruel world. A mother lost her son and a daughter lost her father and has to live with the fact that her mom was involved. Tragic for all involved
You can trust yourself & trust others
Less.
Not even with millions these losers couldn’t be happy, it’s never greener on the other side… romance is great until you start to live with the other person .. evil monsters
It's a really trully completely cruel cruel world
@@B100085 )
His account of the event and leading up to it is harrowing, worse than the murder is the deceit of his best friend. Can you imagine the thoughts going through his mind at this point, the realisation of what was happening at the hands of his best friend. And watching him circling before shooting him, he must have been absolutely terrified. This man's tears are all for himself, the enormity of what he's admitting to and how cruel and sadistic he was to his best friend. The ultimate betrayal by the two people he loved and trusted above all else. And all for selfishness and greed. Heartless, callous individuals. I hope this haunts every waking moment and they have nightmares for the rest of their lives. I really feel for Cathy as well, lying next to him after what he'd also done to her. Evil beyond belief 😔
Listening to this is very difficult for me as I am crying myself loud now
@@AA-vl7kzi hope u are doing better
Theyre botg evils ...n the best friend pulled the triger , so both are evil
He seems so normal, polite, well spoken and honest. Anyone can kill.
That's what happens when you're a life insurance rep, you can smooth talk and use southern charm.
That's the scariest part. You could be with the person for years not knowing what they are capable of 😥😥
Ugggh don’t say that! That’s what gets me with Brian he’s soooo polite and comes off totally like a normal guy
Most serial killers have a higher than average iQ.
Yeah, Educated, Mis ericordiam!
3:03 " I was not a great husband" I have news for you pal, you were not a good friend either.

He isn't a good human.

Such a sad story. So much pain and poor decisions. RIP Mike. I’m sorry that these people were your best friend and your wife.
The way he's so casually recounting the stories.... geez cold hearted killers (both he and denise). This is obviously an intelligent and very articulate man. How crazy is all of this
Yah i cant believe he got lesser years than denise when he pulled the triger and he buried him
Both are evil
Brian and Denise relationship never stood a chance since the day they plotted and killed Mike. No way a relationship/marriage could survive that sin and ugly deed.
@Diamond Dave
By rough spots you mean what? Murder???
@Dirk Diggler lol boi u jokin yah
@Dirk Diggler kk bro
@Dirk Diggler Woah!! caught me off guard 🤣
I thought you meant that your marriage was able to work despite murdering someone 🤣lol no offense....
What hurts is that Mike was planning a second kid and a trip to Hawaii with Denise😭😭😭💔💔💔Whole time she was planning his death with his best friend. 💀💀💀💀A REAL HORROR MOVIE!!!!!
That's crazy very scary
Yup
no place even in hell for these two.
People are fucked up
Scary indeed
He had no idea his friend and his wife were evil
Isn’t it mind blowing how many times you hear of a man being interested in a woman who betrayed her husband and somehow in his mind he doesn’t get the picture that if she would do that to the other man than she would do it to him too. Or vice versa.
Well this time SHE got served 😎
Exactly.
With friends like him, you dont need enemies
That moment when Mike realized you pushed him out of the boat, that you took the boat further away rather than closer, then saw you take your gun out and shoot him. How could you? How could you betray a friend in such a terrible way? Monster.
Tbats the part that kills me. He shot his friend thats looking for him to help. You have to a twisted SOB to be able to do that.
Beyond betrayal,evil the pair of them,
Agreed!!!!!
@@michellethompson5638 And the Bitch that he did this all for divorced his ass anyway. So because he wanted to chase a married piece of tail, he now will spend 20 years of his life in prison as a confessed murderer and he didn’t even get the girl either.
His relationship with the evil woman had blinded him.
My father used to say "God save me from my friends because at least I know my enemies are out to do me harm."
Very wise man your Father.
Darn straight! Many wolves in sheep clothing I tell my kids...be careful!!!
He’s telling the truth! The only people I’ve been screwed over and honestly hurt from is the people I’ve loved and cared for. Had one actually rob me blind several times and the last time I met up with her to tell her she had to go to get help or I was going to have her charged & she turned around and called the cops claiming I stole from her and kidnapped her. All of it 100% untrue but because she’s been a master manipulator and drug addict thief the past 10 year’s, she’s learned how to use situations to her advantage. Now I have to defend myself from something I didn’t even do. Never again will I allow someone close to me and will break contact immediately if any situation arises or begins to remind of that person.
I have chosen not to have any friends or enemies...God and my cat Lila are my rocks
He was a wise man!
From the moment that denise didnt want to have big search opérations and didnt want to talk the mother and the side of her husband and didnt want his mother to open criminal case that shown that something was not right bcs thats not normal behaviour of wife who lost her husband
This is just terrifyingly shocking. I can't believe we actually live amongst people who commit such heinous crimes. I feel just sick.
Oh, yes...we bump shoulders with such people...sooner or later...unbelievably unconscionable people...i have survived such people.....our trust should always be earned...by deeds....not just words of undying "love" of beauty and pleasure.
Just your local insurance salesman🤮
They don’t look evil and they walk among us

Bars! I felt the rhyme... poetic 😅😅
So your wife cheats on you and you're crushed, but you do the same thing to your best friend... Snake logic😂 I'll never understand it.

She didn't want to get a divorce because of her morals but Murder was ok. wtf wrong with ppl
She didn’t want a divorce coz she wants his life insurance.
he said that she rather be a rich widow than a broke divorcee and have the daughter back and forth to two houses.
well I'm having trouble with the fact she could not bring herself to divorce due to her "morals" but then not only could she commit "Murder" against her Husband but breaking the 10 commandments such as Adultery , bearing false witness , fraud , geeeez
She didn't want a divorce because of her morals but yet sleeping around was ok.... SO SO SO much wrong with this...
Tiffany, right? Denise thinks murder is fine? Wow. We live in a crazy world.
My heart breaks for his mom! The horror she has to face every day. I pray that the truth comes out.
He's aged a lot from the stress of the guilt of it all. He feels remorse. No lover is worth ever doing something bad or immoral. What a lesson.. Do not fall into ditches of error!
I know right?!
When i first saw him here i initially thought he was probably in his 60s.....
I was shocked when he said he was 48!
Why'd he do this to himself? To Mike his "best friend"?😢😔
Why😔
He is 48 he looks normal for 48
I love that he is airing all of her dirty laundry. He is evil for what he did but I believe that she is 10x worse.
I forget who said it, but someone said", "The female of the species are usually the most dangerous."
I disagree. They are both on the same level. Listen to how matter of fact this guy details all the awful things he did to his “best friend”. No remorse whatsoever.
Since she said that she wanted to be with him as husband and wife, but didnt want to have a divorce, we knew who came out with the idea of killing her husband. He was evil, but she brought this out of him.
It looks like the woman is the real mastermind here. When a woman is evil, she would be worst than 10 men and in fact could make those 10 men killed each other. Even a cunning woman could make 2 kingdoms collide in wars.
Is it me or do most dodgy white ladies from a certain age have this crying, victim voice down to an art form when they want things to go their way? Or when they want to get a man in trouble?
Just came from Crime Watch Daily & I can't explain how happy I am for Mike's mom for finally having answers, she didn't deserve to go through all of this:( I can't believe it took them so long to crack this case
@Voracious Reader Yes i know that, I never said the police cracked the case, i meant that i couldnt believe it took them that long to determine it as "solved" after all the mistakes that evil pos couple did. Im SO happy things ended up bad for them cause they turned on each other & finally opened their mouths. Anyways, ima take your comment in a good way bc i like to be educated on things im wrong about
If the wife didn’t try to send him to jail it would still be unsolved
Me too
Very sad story for Mike's family but more sad that it was his best friend who is more cold blood than an alligator killing his own friend.
Yes as soon as I seen the kidnap charges I looked up this trail I knew he’d had to confess after she got him charged! Just dumb but I’m glad he did
Who needs enemies with friends like that?
Besides the horror of killing someone and carrying that guilt for the rest of your life, being a defendant at a trial is something so humiliating and pathetic. How can someone not think they’re going to disgrace their own lives?
Sometimes being alone is not so bad. Imagine being killed by your supposed best friend and or spouse. Lord have mercy
guess you mean alone. Lonely or alone are not the same thing.
Today, I live alone and am perfectly fine with that.
While I was married, I felt lonely on quite some occasions even with her present. I filed divorce.
@@gold-diggersanonymous1085 better to be alone and with God than to have fake friends and snakes around you pretending to be your allies

That is not a 'good side' to being alone... in this crazy society you can be killed by a family member, cop, or any other fuckin nut on this planet. That comment is like saying 'sometimes it's not so bad not having a car, could you imagine being in an accident?'
Amen! That's why I literally hang with my spouse and kids. Watch enough true crime and you won't trust ANYONE.
If the police actually investigated this, they would have caught them early. Witness at the lake, witness at Walmart, records of purchasing sketchy stuff, blood on the vehicle. Shame on the police for choosing the easy way out and saying it was all an accident.
Exactly
To be fair, they did thoroughly search the lake he supposedly “drowned” in. He planted his waders and hunting license which they found. BUT there was some serious lack of judgment on their part, assuming he was eaten by gators...in the wintertime...
@@-GRAVESITE- the fact that the planted items were brand new should have raised enough suspicion to start an investigation beginning with the people closest with him his wife, his best friend, other family members.
@@beingashope Right. Even though they “solved” this murder his mom really didn’t get the justice she, and Mike, deserve.
@@beingashope The fact that the planted items appeared newer than one might expect was noticed and reported by the police within the first week after the items were found. They were immediately suspicious.
The truth of the matter is, with the requirements we have in this country for evidence, sometimes the evidence it would take to convict is simply not there. The authorities were suspicious of Brian and Denise early on but as Brian said in his testimony, as long as they didn't talk, the police didn't have much to go other than suspicions.
I pray that Cheryl’s granddaughter will really understand the truth and go meet her grandmother and her uncle who loved her dad is so much!
His mother is so adorable! I’m so glad she was able to see justice for her son. When watching murder documentary’s on TV and online the elderly parents never get to physical get to their loved ones justice for the horrid acts Many parents it seems like the parents pass away before justice is able to be served for their child or loved ones in general BUT in this case it was amazing she received justice after the almost 2 decades she fought for mike to receive justice she deserved to see that more than anyone because she spent every waking day fighting for MikeSo many parents
So glad the gators were finally proven innocent!
And justice for his family of course

"People" like you are sick and twisted. Facts. ~Peace!
Thats kinda like saying the mafia was proven innocent. They're just gonna kill somebody else.
The trial exposed the ineptness and sheer laziness of the police officers who handled this case. Why did it take them two decades to solve this case when it was evident that Brian and Denise have something to do with the sudden disappearance of Mike? The red flags are all over and yet they did not probe any further. It is police incompetence at its worst. I grieve for Mike and the loved ones he left behind.
Hahahahahahaha very true
I only wished Mike was more aware about these two.
Yeah, a terrible shame
A similar situation in my hometown with people I grew up with ... The woman Michelle Reynolds was married to Thad, he was a wonderful person, a minister a great husband and father . Michelle had an affair with the youth minister from church Scotty Harper. Scotty who was had been a great husband and father stabbed Thad to death at Thad's place of employment. Scotty was his best friend .The 2 couples also were very involved socially together ... Scotty pled guilty and got life to keep Michelle from getting life... She'll be out in about 5 years... 6 children lost 3 parents ... Growing up I always known something wasn't right, good about Michelle ... She was a mean person to the less fortunate... One of the few people in life I ALWAYS saw the evil in ... Yes Scotty is guilty and has admitted it but Michelle knew how to manipulate him ... He was her weapon...
@Harriet O sad but true
I can’t seem to understand why he hid the fact that he knew they were having an affair, and not only that he still went places with this man who was deceiving him smh if you’ll lie you’ll cheat and you’ll KILL so sad 😞
@@jamesde74 its not easy accepting someone you love is cheating with you.. let alone your friend...
You can never ever really know any person. What utter betrayal of a friendship 😢
Denise and Brian are going to face someone much more powerful than themselves one day and have to account for what they did. This is about as cold blooded and despicable of a crime as humanely possible. Mike's brother and parents and daughter are also direct victims of this cold blooded cowardly crime. I cannot live with hate in my heart anymore and it's God who decides these things but I don't think you can ever come back from THIS level of inhuman. Like Chris Watts.
As horrible as this whole thing is, there is still power in confession. If Jesus forgave the criminal on the cross, then who are we to say he can never find grace?
I can't imagine how Mike felt seeing "HIS BEST FRIEND" pointing gun at him. Awful ! Awful !! Awful !!!
And pulled the trigger. He is an Animal
Worst part, Mike probably didn't understand why!
So sad
@@angelicazwack7328 even animal better than him
L A-P..... I'm thinking at that point Mike must've known that the man that his wife was having an affair with was his own friend/hunting buddy. I bet Mike must've been so devastated by the surprise of a gun pointed at him ..... feeling confused by his friend's deception and betrayal. very sad.
"Mother knows best" .. I salute to mikes mom. She is sooo amazing ❤
A mother’s intuition.
"but i was trying to bury mike"..words said bby his own bestfriend,this just proves time and again that no one can truly be trusted except from God.
Saw a documentary about this case and I am 20 minutes into trial, feeling sorry for little Ansley. She would have to live knowing all this. May God give you courage.

Old folks have wisdom and lots intuition.
I think his mom is beautiful. I think she must have been a real head-turner back in the day.
A woman's intuition is a thing best not to mess with it.
A mother knows her child. I often think that it should not be "woman's intuition", but should be "mother's intuition".
Mothers intuition never fck wih it !!!
This guy was not Mike's bestfriend.He was Mike's murderer. He's as guilty as his girlfriend.
yup. There's only 3 reasons for a murder. Love greed or jealousy and in this case it was all 3
@@philancell884 LUST too
His wife you mean
That's what everyone wants to say, but its too simplistic. We just don't want to admit that the truth is Brian was Mike's very good friend for many years and it is also true, once the relationship with Denise began, he became something else. Both are true.
I think that's what makes this case so compelling for so many- we don't want to think that a good friend of ours could do such a thing. We have to tell ourselves that Brian was never MIke's good friend. The truth is, he was and then he wasn't.
Mike seemed like a good guy. The type that if this guy would have told him 'look, I made such and such mistake, I am sorry', Mike would have forgave him. He should have told Mike his wife wanted him dead.
Short of finding an older two hour version of the story this maybe the best one still on RUclips. This is like a Greek tragedy. Literally.
From the early fact that he would park in church yards to go to rendezvous with his friend's wife...showed that this man was an extremely dangerous piece of work.
Ppl saying he just got manipulated but i sense some evil in him
This was one hell of a highschool. Even his wife cheated with another person from highschool. Didn't these people meet anyone new in life.
When you go to the same college as the people you went to high school with, you stick to them in college and don’t ever spread out
In other words, you take your significant other to college with you, you best believe you’re gonna end up on an island with them.
😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing
If it started in 1997 like he said his affair started, they would have been 28. Which would have been around the time of their high school reunion.
Its not about meeting new people , its about whom u become friends with or get too close.may be they are not from big towns and have jobs in the same areas.

This is the truth!!!! Well said👏

True, this sin sure led him farther than he thought and he will definitely pay for it.
Eating shrimp is a sin, and I can confirm these effects!
Yes it's true, for I am guilty of this too.
The fact that Brian and Denise properly executed their plan, but they never lived a happy life.
God is witnessing everything.
Literally broke me down when evil Brain said mike was trying to save himself from drowning😢😢
This makes me sick to my stomach to think that a life long friend could do this
The local police department did not do their job at all.
Yeah, eaten by alligators, they found a reason not to do their job grabbing that conclusion. His mom is an angel 👼 who brought justice to the case
And neither did that microphone, my iPhone microphone is better quality
Typical police,
All they're good at is free
🍩 donuts 🍩 and coffee
Florida BABY
Yes the police could of done a better job but. There was not alot of evidence directly pointing at these two. Police should not make arrest or get warrants without solid evidence
He talks about the actual murder at 47:00

He is so comfortable with narrating a murder.
Jealousy and envy is a nasty thing to have against someone, especially a man who was a friend.
Do not trust anyone that went to this dude’s high school
Why's that
Lol really though. This is how STDs spread
@@allikhaur Because they're all cheating on each other and conspiring to kill each other.
yeah right. lol
@@farzana6676 say it ain't so! Wow
I can’t understand why some people think divorce is worse than murder. I just don’t get it
2realformost RIGHT 👍🏼 So many spouse on spouse murder cases .... “well we weren’t getting along and the church frowned on divorce .. “. So you stabbed him 27 times ... ok well I guess that was the expedient way to go.
I always think why couldn’t you just leave. Take the freakin car...
She got insurance money
All for a piece of punanney..it must of been real good😁👀
Maybe because some are after the insurance they'll get/got?
Just saying.
@@abeckett1834 lmao foreal! Must be a golden punanney
How can you get immunity when you admit to first degree murder? What a miscarriage of justice of an evil monster
Woow he said “I wasn’t gonna let anything happen to my son’s mother” yet she let something happened to her daughter’s father obviously she didn’t loved him.
They are two deranged people, with no heart
I can’t imagine the confusion and betrayal that Mike felt in the moments of his death. That his best friend on this planet was killing him. Ugh, so awful.
Exactly. He had just gone through this hard time in life and was in need of some positivity in life, finally getting in good spirits about rekindling his romance with his wife, getting ready to spend Christmas with his new baby girl, and on the way to have a good day out with his “brother”... and for him to find out, right before death, that this person he probably would have given his life for, is about to take his life from him. I’m sure that pain was far worse than any physical pain inflicted by that bullet... my dad has been telling me every time we speak since I was a little girl, “Trust no one 100%, babygirl. No man, chick or child.” I didn’t understand it then and I used to think he was being dramatic, but the older I get, the more those words resonate w me. Such a sad but true reality. Trust no one 100%. ESPECIALLY the ones closest to you. RIP Mike. I hope that whatever’s on the other side is far better than what this world has become.

@IamGrandMagus time out...so you took the time to read and respond to my comment but I need life? 🤔🤦🏽♀️. I watched and commented on that shit this past summer while sitting in a parking lot waiting for an instacart order in the middle of lock down during this little global pandemic you may or may not have noticed. When no one had shit to do but hope for work and surf the net for something, anything to take their minds off the fucked up reality we were in. So, please sir, Have a seat. Sincerely, #notherparagraphforthatass 🙏🏾
@IamGrandMagus Why don't you go mind your own business! Looks like you're the one who "need a life!"
@IamGrandMagus imagine liking your own comment
With a friend like this, who needs an enemy?
Geoman Nwaogu.......Exactly, it's just so awful that poor Mike had to die bcoz of his deceitful "buddy" & "so-called wife"🤬🤬
Enemy would probably be better to have at least you know what you are dealing with!
With friends like him, who needs an enema!
You,re absolutly right! We say allso when you have such a friend, you,ll never need any enemy!👍🏽
True
Hearing this really made emotional. How can your BFF whom you have known all your life. That's evil in its truest sense.
I respect this man for fully recounting the murder. He seems to be truthful and remorseful. He committed a heinous act and must pay the price.
This makes me more comfortable living a isolated nomadic lifestyle with my dog.
Good call....
Whoa, hold on... Does your dog happen to sell life insurance???
Totally agree with you!
Speedy. I love my lifestyle too.
Good ideal man... you can't trust no one not even your own wife, and best friend
Yep get a dog
Here from the crime watch daily vid
kelly Montgomery me too! I had to find out the outcome!!
kelly Montgomery ...same here..lol
Same bro
Im so glad he confessed. I felt sorry for mike mom possibly dyin before the truth came out
kelly Montgomery Same! I watched the crime watch daily vid and thought how did these two get away with it until I searched her name and realised she was charged and convicted. Finally!
Money is the route to all evil. Adultery, murder are all sins, and these two demons eventually turned on one another, and what has been kept in the dark has finally come to light! The truth will set you free.
I think you are trying to say “money is the root of all evil” 😂😂😂.
"Mike was a workaholic, she didn't like that." I couldn't watch this whole thing... it sounded like he neglected his woman, Kathy for his best friend's wife. She enjoyed the riches Mike gave her, but complained about him working too much... damn self entitled woman. I hope Mike's soul can find some kind of peace and his daughter gets all the help she needs and becomes someone he'll be proud of.
I knew from the beginning that the gators were innocent!
😂 😂 lol...
@@josebustamnte2743 Sound like they were swinging.
😂😂😂 true.
Yes nuts like this always invent another to the event and make themselves a victim
You are Hilarious!!!
"I didn't have a choice"... Yes, you did have a choice. Don't mess with your best friend's wife and don't take his life.
Ikr..for a second i was like puzzled as though he tried to make it looks like he's a victim here..talked about how he felt while killing his best friend?.. pffttt..sick
He said a lot of things. He was very cold and calculating.
@Brian Landers , That's exactly what he did. Had she no plans to rid herself of him, he would've taken their bad deeds to his grave!
for real
Best friend?? You mean undercover enemy? No one wants or needs a best friend like this. Poor Mike! Like you said, not only did he take the wife, but his life!
With friends like this who needs enemies..terrible story.
WOW growing up and being best friends but you could plan to kill him with no emotion. Unbelievable 😡 RIP Mike Williams and 🙏 for the family

Amen
Denise didn't want to divorce because of her raising, but is totally cool with adultery and murder...🤔
It was an interesting childhood.
Nah she was more worried about what people thought of HER… like oh divorced and now she’s with her husbands bestie and so if she didn’t actually murder him herself she could feel good about it 🙄🙄
Right!! Makes sense doesn't it. Lord...
@@mRSrANC0R I know someone in a similar situation. Her husband died of cancer, but the body wasn't even in the ground when she moved in with his bestie. It has always been super sketch. Her adult children confronted her with their suspicions, but ofc she denied cheating with him.
@@mRSrANC0R Divorce, being public, was too much shame to bear, but living with treason and ghastly murder she is willing to expect no burden of conscience. Also, Hell is a dumb trade.
The SOB shot his best friend in cold blood, in a totally premeditated way, actively covered his murderous tracks, and only got 20 years?!?! This is a total travesty of justice.
He got no time at all for the murder
It’s crazy to me people get longer in a self defense situation
Such bizarre thinking that the notion of a divorce is a problem, but murder is fine.
When he said Mike and I talk everyday. That killed me. Betrayal!!!
He just looks shisty, grimy and shadY. Mike how is it that you didn't see this buddy? Damn man. Betrayal!!
Thats insurance ppl for you.

I'm glad for Mike's mother and brother, they can rest now.
Rest knowing the world is full of greedy psychopaths and idiots who will kill their family if the price is right $$$$$ that aint much of a rest is it.
@@ThousandairesClub well if it was me I would rest knowing what happened to my loved one instead of wondering, I know better than to trust anyone so the greed and betrayal doesn't surprise me at all.

What a very evil person. Who needs friends like that in their lives? Sounds like a real demon. Poor Mike.
"He was thinking I was in a hurry to search for Mike but I was in a hurry to go bury Mike"😔 That part just made me think of how many murderers we live amongst.
londeka duma even potential murderers. There are many sociopaths in the world. I’ve heard as many as 1 in 25 people are sociopaths which means all of us know at least one. Crazy to think about.
I know grl .....and shows like this or other crime shows kinda coach people ... It's wild af.
Meg LM Oooooh those are scary statistics
& go f°ck the other, londeka duma
Very scary.
This is the biggest act of betrayal I have seen so far. Please remember that these guys were best friends for their entire lives.
At we thought they where holding mike's coat tail
Absolutely..
Wow when he said he ran into Mike Phillips at the store and said that later on Mike said yea I saw you that morning and you were in a panic and rushing.. and then said he thought I was in a hurry and a panick to go help search for Mike but actually I was just in a hurry and a panick to go bury Mike. Just wow. How sad. I couldn't be any happier at the fact that he will have to live with this for the rest of his life and will have flash backs every time he closes his eyes to rest of what he did. 20 years is B.S for what he did to this man but living with it for the rest of his life makes a little better.
The crazy part is that there’s soo many men that lost their lives because of women and friends like this. It’s soo many women and men in this world. I could never understand why.
