At the parole hearing, the pictures of his slaughtered family should be on display. No one should have to say a word. That should ensure his residence in the worst prison for the rest of his miserable life!
Watched two episodes just to be sure but yup, i like you. Subscribed! Ps never heard of a “red mist moment” either & i peruse a _LOT_ of these types of programs. Must google! 🤟🏻💕 Also you’re very pretty & well spoken. Keep up the good work! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
My step father marked the tires (of the 2nd car) when we were younger because he knew my older brother would take the car when my step dad and mom would go out dancing on Saturday night, the odometer wasn't working that's why he couldn't check the miles.
Just an update: he was NOT released! " Austin will remain in a high-security prison until at least 2025. Claire Austin's mother, Carol Quinn, said she was "relived and thankful" he would not move to an open prison"
How in the hell is he up for parole when he killed his wife and children? He's lucky it didn't happen in Florida where I live, he would be fried. which is what he deserves! Thank you for telling about these gruesome cases. My heart and prayers totally go out to the family! I can't imagine what her mother feels! that's incomprehensible!😢😢
He wasn't released but may be up in 2025 and he didn't get moved to an "open" facility 🎉 hopefully they never let him out. It must be heart breaking for her parents to have to return every few years to fight to ensure he isn't released. It's BS
The fact is that just bc you're up for parole doesn't mean you will get out. I've seen cases where a person was up for parole 3x and got rejected. Died in prison..
because its the UK. all of europes laws are so lax like there are serial killers and serial rapists in prison in germany who are allowed to walk around freely in certain parts of the prison. its insane
My best friend had to go to court every 9-12 months because of the person who murdered her youngest 13 yr old daughter! The killer was her nephew who just so happened to live in her home!!! It was horrible to watch as her friend. Her pain was unimaginable!!! She is now reunited with her daughter, and greatly missed! After 12 years or so he gave up on getting his life sentence overturned. I was there that day in court with her and I legit could see the weight lift from her body!!! She would always say that the killers have more rights than their victims!!! Having to go through that night over and over.... Something no mother in the world should have to go through!!!
This guy is an absolute melt. So he had red mists when it suited him. I'd never of him, but agree, he should be left to rot. The bigger danger is his being released with a new identity which tends to happen, and heaven help the next poor person. As always, we'll researched and compassionately delivered. Have a great week.
What is the point of a “life” sentence if they get out after 20 years??? What the heck?? He sounds like an absolute monster and I feel so sorry for the grandparents who probably beat themselves up for not doing more, but were probably afraid of getting cut off like his family if they pushed the issue. So sad
Being from the UK I had never heard of this story before! It’s so shocking thank you for bringing it to our attention, I really hope he doesn’t get released .. I will genuinely be scared. What kind of monster would do this to his whole entire family! 😢 Absolutely love your style of narration and editing, it’s just near on perfect for me. I have subscribed and always will watch every episode you upload. Well done ☺️💖
There's women serving live without the possibility of parole for killing their abusers before they could kill them and this guy has a chance to get out on parole. What a fucked up system
Sommer I always know when you present a case we get all the facts. No need to dig around to look for holes in the story, because there are no holes. Another great thing is most of the cases you investigate are not well known and we are hearing about it for the first time. Just want to say thanks for all your hard work !
First of all, I have to congratulate you on 50k! So well deserved. ❤ Secondly, I'm incredibly happy that algorithm was "so kind" by showing me your channel. I discovered it when you had about 10k and I knew, if people were able to find you, you'll gain a dedicated, appreciative following...and here you are! 🥳 You've brought something different to this community. Cases you cover are almost never heard of and you are so thorough in your coverage. I truly appreciate you and I wish you steady growth of your channel. Next is 100k! Love from Croatia 💙
Absolutely horrific! I cannot believe the light sentence he received- it's literally like a slap in the face to the loved ones of the three innocent victims. Praying he never gets released nor gets to go to a more lenient establishment.
Not only is your content amazing I LOVE THAT YOU USE THE CHAPTERS FEATURE ❤ sometimes I need to jump around especially in Some Multi hour ones and I always lose my place and I really appreciate the ad disclosure we love a transparent queen. Keep on Sommer you have a Talent FOR SURE I know you’re going places! ❤
🤬 “concurrent” sentences for different victims are so wrong in my opinion!! It’s simply, “Kill 1. Get 2 Free!” 🤬 It wasn’t 1 crime & 1 loss! He killed 3, THREE, beloved individuals! He thought about killing 3 people, 3 different premeditated crimes, 3 times with 3 spaces in between to change his mind!! Which 2 is he NOT serving any time in prison for the murder of? 🙄😡😡😡
I live in Northamptonshire and not heard of these murders. The poor family 😔 thank you for doing this case. I think more murders like this should be covered more so ppl can look for red flags so good on you for covering it 😊
Choking and beating your children and you want him to seek counseling? Those poor kids. Not even their mother with stand up for them. The mother was gainfully employed at this time and have very supportive family. I don't understand how a father or mother keeps their children in an abusive relationship. The marriage means nothing when your child is getting hurt. Period
I really wish we taught high schoolers *several* courses about intimate partner violence over their school years and how dangerous and life threatening a partner is who chokes you or someone else. It's such a high high marker for "you will probably be killed by this person" that as soon as you said he choked the children I knew that's how they would die. Poor babies.
There was a guy in my school who would get angry and lash out by grabbing whoever he was upset with, by the neck. He hurt a younger brother and was eventually sent to an alternative school. That was in 5th grade so about 3 1/2 years ago. He’s still there. I bet that guy kills someone one day.
Really wish there was a TON more education about that as well! Kids, adults, young teens, alike! So that ppl are educated about how the cycles of abuse work & how to watch out for them & see 🚩& how to make a safety plan to get away or even be a back up plan if u can't bring yourself to end it yet. But I imagine education about these topics that's taken seriously could ONLY benefit the victims! The victims being the spouse\partner suffering & the Innocent kids caught in the middle. Also, yes I sat spouse\partner & not women bc this doesn't just happen to women but there's cases of women who do the same crap altho their mechanism is slightly diff I feel like. Regardless, too many ppl who have never been in those situations or suffered or just been a witness, are completely unprepared for how those cycles start & work! & Others who have been conditioned or 🧠 washed in those cycles & never learned any different think it's normal & how it SHOULD be in a relationship. So, education ALL AROUND!
I agree with the comment below. You are so thorough in your cases and you do such a great job of speaking for those who can no longer speak for themselves. Thank you for all of your hard work. It is much appreciated! And had my husband done that to my child, I would have physically attacked him with every ounce of strength I had. That is not acceptable. It is sick!! This guy is sick and terribly twisted.
Thank you for that delivery. 20 years is no justice at all and I do believe that if he is ever released there is a high potential that he may kill again. (smh)
Hi Somer Sanchez. I can't believe he didn't get the death penalty. Maybe this is why we have so much crime in the US because people like him are not prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Will see you on your next video & peace, love, Janine Smiley 🤗🙂😇🧡💛💚🛍👜👛👗👚👖👒👡💄📿💎💍
@@janinemccartha1811 Unfortunately we haven't had the death penalty in the UK since the1960s and a life sentence, unless a minimum term is given it usually means they serve around 15-20 years. A whole-life tariff is quite rare, but recently our Judges do seem to be handing down longer minimum terms Thomas Cashman who killed a 9-year-old girl Oliva Pratt Corbell whilst trying to take out another low life, has just been given a minimum term of 42 years. I honestly don't think the low life in this case will ever be paroled
I’m only half way through and so frustrated. Mothers, your first and number 1 priority is to keep your children safe. I know too many woman who make a big fuss, saying they’re going to leave their pos partner..just to turn around and go right back, children in tow, only to repeat this toxic cycle over and over again. It’s DAMAGING for children. And in this case, I know if those children told their grandparents about the choking and beating so easily, that their mother more than likely knew beforehand. It’s sad that her babies lost their lives because she couldn’t bring herself to leave this monster.
We actually don't know that. The reason they told their Grandmother was due to her getting on to the little boy. & Maybe the Dad said do NOT tell your Mother. Or perhaps since his shift was always at night, he was always lurking to make sure. But I do feel if they were given a good "hiding" there'd have been marks on their butt & legs. So likely Mom saw those but maybe had no clue about the choking. We must also remember the time this happened in & that there's a very diff mindset about spanking & also leaving your spouse. Plus, I won't judge Claire too harshly bc she DID take it seriously & seriously enough that he had to go get help for himself & did "get better" which we know was for sure an act but he obviously did learn to control himself better for longer times & likely if he DID have an outburst he'd ⛽💡 her into staying bc he was so "OBVIOUSLY working hard on himself & he wasn't perfect but he was getting better & trying!" It would've been nice if things had been different & she'd been encouraged to leave him WHILE he worked on himself so the kids were safe during that time but again... Times were different even tho it seems it was "recent", it wasn't. 20y can change the way ppl see those situations & culturally things can be very different. Then you have to figure in the way that guys like this abusive POS operate. He'd been conditioning her for YEARS & that's what all the "You're fat!" Crap was. It was him beating in her head everyday, all day likely that she was NOTHING! She was worked & would be a Fat, Divorced, Stay at Home Mom of 2 kids who couldn't Even work to support herself! What would she do w\o him? She'd concern their kids to a hellhole where it would be them starving w othing. & I'm INTIMATELY familiar w\how that can work, not bc I've been an abused woman but bc my entire childhood was living in JUST THAT ENVIRONMENT! It was a war zone & it took my Mom so long to leave & get out of those relationships. She was still dysfunctional & had major issues & PTSD when she did leave & those issues she never got help for. It sounds like Claire was on a MUCH better path & likely would've had her family free in those next few wks or months. She had started working & working out or dieting & growing her confidence, etc. So yes it's very sad that she was in that environment w\her kids, I just think you're judging her too harshly. & Ultimately, she paid way too high a price for her mistakes in my opinion. It just breaks my heart.
Mind boggling that he even has the chance to get out of prison after what he did. People that sell marijuana get longer sentences! The justice system is f*****.
✨To my sweet Sommer, and all my Sommer sista's out there: Thank you so much for this awesome channel with these fabulous followers!👯 We are a respectful, inquisitive, and empathetic bunch💐 And we have Sommer to thank for laying that foundation in each of her true crime episodes🙏 These cases are extremely sad, but offer valuable insight we can learn from to better protect ourselves and one another. Personally, I watch these cases partly because their stories should not close with their deaths, and partly because better preventative measures can be implemented to prevent this from happening to other potential victim(s). Sommer, you are exceptionally bright, and thought provoking🫶 I remember watching your first video right when you started. Afterwards, I thought to myself "Oh wow! She's like a total breath of fresh air." Side note: I actually watched a documentary last week that focused on David Koresh and The Branch Davidians, as well as Jim Jones and The Jonestown Massacre. Right in the middle of the documentary, your face flashed in my mind (hehehe 😆). If that doesn't prove the strength of your "brand" (your "brand" being your channel, with the majority of your content covering cults or cult-like true crime cases), then I don't know what does! Bravo, my friend!!!👏 Keep on being a beautiful badass lady😘 We L🩷VE you Sommer 👯 Xoxo's, Maegan 💋💋💋
Sommer I have to say, your channel is my fave true crime discovery in years and years! I can’t believe how excellently you have presented these cases right from your first video. You’re killing it. Keep it up! ❤
Hi Sommer, I enjoy your channel, and the way you present these stories. When I was a Deputy Sheriff working in the county jail I supervised Charles Ng. Have you ever thought of researching that case? Thanks Randy
Excited every time I see ur notification . I've said before I'll say again , love how you narrate these stories . Long bus journey, so perfect timing sommer , greetings from the emerald Isle 🇮🇪
Thank you so much for your uploads! I can’t really watch RUclipsrs that make something crazy scary sounding if that makes sense, the way you talk about things makes it very easy to follow and listen to!
An yes the parents of the Mira Hindly said that fighting parole hearings every few years was a nightmare and it was finally decided to stop having them every 3 years
@@sarahwhalen5679 awee!! 💕😊 girl tell me why i just got done w them 😫 i was using new gels and they were so hard to work with. i don’t even feel like doing a design anymore, just gunna use a cute clear gel w iridescent flakies and be done w it 😂
As a Briton, I can attest to the fact that the British justice system is an absolute joke. How can someone like this EVER be released or even be considered for release???
I was wondering how he ended up with concurrent "life" sentences with parole, then I remembered that this was in the U.K. He would be doing consecutive life without parole sentences here in the States. What in the world is going on over there?!?
Just getting caught up... This case is horrific, the kids and Claire must have been terrified! I can't imagine what the family was\ iis going through. Thank god the neighbors realized something wasn't right and marked where her car was and called Claire's mother and her stepfather. If not I wonder how much longer it would have been before they were found?
I’ve been with you since the very beginning. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Your Channel IS going to blow up one day, and you totally deserve it! Great video as always. ✨💜✨
OH-MY-GOSH! I just discovered your channel and the first video is one that took place about a mile from where I live in Northampton, UK. A very compelling telling of this case. Although the 'Americanisms' used when applied to a local class caused a smile or two! (E.G. We don't take "vacations", we have 'holidays' etc lol 😅. We'll told Sommer... Peter
Hi Sommer, congrats on being able to work full time on your channel!! Knew that was coming, its your voice & how u tell a story,, I can't tell u what or why but you hold my interest like no other true crime storyteller! To the point I found myself tuning in at home on TV rather then Netflix, hulu, or any of the other 100 streaming programming options.. so I'd say that's talent!! Looking forward to the next video to help pass the miles driven at work..thanks for what u do!
What in the actual HELL??! Life SHOULD mean life! He took 3 precious lives, and he should NEVER be released back into society! He SHOULD rot away in prison until he takes his last breath. Hearing about this case makes me think back to when I was a little girl, and witnessing my dad beat the living crap out of my mom, because he was a very violent alcoholic and drug user. He even threatened to kill us (my younger sister and myself) in front of our mom, then kill my mom, then himself. The last and final straw was him setting my mom’s upper right arm on fire on July 4th of 1978. She fled from him, taking us along, on what would’ve been their 9th anniversary. We left soon after my dad left for work, and we could only take what we could carry; everything else had to stay behind. We had to be very, very, very quiet, so we didn’t wake up our great-grandma. I truly hope that this demonic creature NEVER is released from prison.
@mcnallica8 Thank you, my friend, for taking the time to read and respond to my comment. My paternal grandpa offered to pay for my dad to go to rehab, and pay for him to seek help with his anger issues, but he refused. This was on Christmas Day in 1978. He was a fool, an idiot, and he lost a phenomenal wife and mother to his 2 daughters. He had to go to prison for him to straighten himself out. So, I didn’t see, or talk to, him from June of 1980 to June of 2008. He had a pretty bad medical scare on December 9th of last year, and he had to be put into a semi-medically induced coma to help save his life. He married a beautiful, amazing, very loving, and sweet young woman, and she saved his life by telling him that he wasn’t going to go home until the doctors found out why he was pooping blood, so he owes her quite a bit. He never got the chance to apologize to my mom for abusing her, in every way imaginable, for the 9 years that they were married, because she passed away on July 3rd of 1997. I apologize for boring you. Please take care, my friend, and I hope that you, and your family has a very wonderful, relaxing, peaceful, safe and beautiful weekend. I hope that you don’t mind that I had subbed to you.
@@toniremer1594 You are not boring me whatever. Im sorry about your mom. Im glad your dad is doing better. I went through 2 divorces myself. I finally after almost 30 years of fighting with the VA just recently got 60% disabled rating. Before that I had a huge pill problem (opiates) I met an amazing woman who is 5 years older than me and she is the first woman I have been with that is older than me (best thing ive ever done) She helped me get clean about 9 years and 2 months ago and I have almost 10 years of no alcohol. Thank you for subscribing to me. sorry for the long story too. Speaking to others even strangers help us mentally and it's healthy. Semper Fi, Jeff
Oh dear! "That's all I have for you ..." Dear lady, that was enough!! So much detail, and input about things I have never heard of 😬. That was equivalent to taking a drink from a fire hose. You really do research these subjects. Thank you for being so thorough. It's absolutely spellbinding with your very calm and measured delivery. I haven't paid attention to such difficult input of info since I went to see the movie, "Ghandi", back in the early '80's 😮. You truly have a talent for this. Count me in as a new subscriber, after only two videos 👍🏽
What kind of society would ever even consider someone like this ever being released. Glad that he wasn’t but still concerning that the system would even consider this.
I wish she had not forgiven him when he could not be bothered to complete the anger management course. He had been strangling his children and beating them but could not be bothered to finish the course but she stayed and let him be alone with the kids again?! I know we tend to look for the best in our partners but that was minimum effort. Also that there was such a huge gap between killing claire and then his kids..and his drugging the kids... shows premeditation and so he should never be free. I like that you call his bs out. Hes a pathetic controlling man. I honestly dont care how prisoners behave in prison. What they did to get them in there should be enough to keep them there.
When you have a narcissistic mother and decide to go no contact, often you hae to go no contact with ALL YOUR family if they don’t honor boundaries, act as flying monkeys… engage in triangulation. It can be impossible.
What does house behavior have to do with anything? It was his behavior that got him a prison sentence to begin with. His behavior can change at will-he’s dangerous. These ridiculous prison sentences are an insult to the victims and their families. He murders 3 people and they take into consideration his behavior in prison. Now that’s a kind of stupidity I can’t even wrap my head around.
Loving your work I really only watch three true crime channel's (that chapter,10 to life and you) great interaction with the camera and you've only just started wow
I never countenanced being grateful for a trigger warning. I abso-bloomin’-lootley cringed when learning this horrible man inflicted God-only-knows what cruelties on animals. Innocent, trusting creatures that ask only care and safety in return for their loving companionship can never comprehend pain purposely done, never. Animals and children are hostages of fate. I’ll come around for the next case.
Alpha males: you're fat. Oh no you're losing weight and now you're confident! I don't like it. Oh no now I'm fat. Normal men: no baby you're not fat, even if you gain weight Im still gonna think you're hot. Now let's go get fat together.
So, so Horrific and Sad. Never heard of this case. Sommer, You're Excellent in The details of All of your Cases. Your Narration is. WONDERFUL.. MAY CLAIRE, KIERAN, JADE, AND THE FAMILY DOGS. REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE. ..THANK GOD THE 2 PRECIOUS CHILDREN WERE LUCKY AND BLESSED TO HAVE A WONDERFUL MOM, CLAIRE & GRANDPARENTS.. 🎉PAMELA MANY THANKS SOMMER.
Would love to hear the justification for concurrent sentences, giving him consecutive would have ensured life in prison. It can't be argued that they were a continuous act, and he hid from the police showing no remorse. As of June 11 I still cannot find any information on release or transfer, so that is good news at least.
I watched this on some crime show a long time ago. I remember there was a psychologist or something commenting on the actions of him and she made a comment that at the wedding he seemed “awkward” and “didn’t know what to do while making a speech so obviously it was a red flag” (I’m obviously paraphrasing) and I definitely disagreed with that. Not everyone is a fantastic public speaker and I personally would be the same way. What I do think is telling about the wedding is that no one showed up for him, which I’m glad you mentioned that portion instead of the awkwardness of him at the wedding.
He was one sick, derranged man. Was worried that he married Claire and had 2 children. His personality dead pan, something mentally wrong with him. Sure hope he never gets out of prison because of what he did to his family and pets.
Oh my God... I... I'm sorry, but I have no words... This is monstrosity at it's worst... Humans can be such heartless monsters, it's frightening... Imagine, everyone You meet could potentially be such psycho... Creepy shit... He should never be released...
Sommer, I just got turned on to your channel and it is so good! You do such a fantastic job covering these cases and are so great to watch as you speak so well and are so pretty! (not coming on ok) I am so happy to have found your videos. By the way,
I love how you say Northampton! I'm from there! I was 6 when this happened and still think about it today. I'm so glad I found this, I was to young to understand what had happened but I remembered the kids being similar ages to me. Such a horrible human, I'm so glad they decided against releasing him again this year! Evil sick man!! He won't ever be released!!
He’s a “family annihilator” and just like John List, could not face the lack of control over his family. In his mind, it was obviously better they be dead than not under his control. So he killed them all. Horrible.

That was really smart of the neighbors to mark where the tire was to see if the car moved over night
Smooth move

Thank you
“The red mist” was a common phrase used as an excuse by &/or for abusers & bullies in Britain back then.
How in the hell is he up for parole when he killed his wife and children? He's lucky it didn't happen in Florida where I live, he would be fried. which is what he deserves! Thank you for telling about these gruesome cases. My heart and prayers totally go out to the family! I can't imagine what her mother feels! that's incomprehensible!😢😢
Same in Texas. Death penalty ENSURES the person won't be doing it again.
Yup, here in Texas they would drip him to hell.
Some people are so dangerous they should not be realised but be permanently detained whether in a prison or mental institution.
He wasn't released but may be up in 2025 and he didn't get moved to an "open" facility 🎉 hopefully they never let him out. It must be heart breaking for her parents to have to return every few years to fight to ensure he isn't released. It's BS
The fact is that just bc you're up for parole doesn't mean you will get out. I've seen cases where a person was up for parole 3x and got rejected. Died in prison..
I cannot fathom what finding your child and two grandchildren dead would do to your psyche ... That's horrific.
He should serve the three life sentences consecutively!😡
How?! How is there even a possibility that a monster like Philip could be freed?! Absolutely mind blowing 😤
🤬
Sadly, this situation is more common than it should be….frustrating for sure.

🤬 “concurrent” sentences for different victims are so wrong in my opinion!! It’s simply, “Kill 1. Get 2 Free!” 🤬
It wasn’t 1 crime & 1 loss! He killed 3, THREE, beloved individuals! He thought about killing 3 people, 3 different premeditated crimes, 3 times with 3 spaces in between to change his mind!!
Which 2 is he NOT serving any time in prison for the murder of? 🙄😡😡😡
I live in Northamptonshire and not heard of these murders. The poor family 😔 thank you for doing this case. I think more murders like this should be covered more so ppl can look for red flags so good on you for covering it 😊
Choking and beating your children and you want him to seek counseling? Those poor kids. Not even their mother with stand up for them. The mother was gainfully employed at this time and have very supportive family. I don't understand how a father or mother keeps their children in an abusive relationship. The marriage means nothing when your child is getting hurt. Period
I really wish we taught high schoolers *several* courses about intimate partner violence over their school years and how dangerous and life threatening a partner is who chokes you or someone else. It's such a high high marker for "you will probably be killed by this person" that as soon as you said he choked the children I knew that's how they would die. Poor babies.
There was a guy in my school who would get angry and lash out by grabbing whoever he was upset with, by the neck. He hurt a younger brother and was eventually sent to an alternative school. That was in 5th grade so about 3 1/2 years ago. He’s still there. I bet that guy kills someone one day.
@@WyattRyeSway sadly it's likely
Really wish there was a TON more education about that as well! Kids, adults, young teens, alike! So that ppl are educated about how the cycles of abuse work & how to watch out for them & see 🚩& how to make a safety plan to get away or even be a back up plan if u can't bring yourself to end it yet. But I imagine education about these topics that's taken seriously could ONLY benefit the victims! The victims being the spouse\partner suffering & the Innocent kids caught in the middle. Also, yes I sat spouse\partner & not women bc this doesn't just happen to women but there's cases of women who do the same crap altho their mechanism is slightly diff I feel like. Regardless, too many ppl who have never been in those situations or suffered or just been a witness, are completely unprepared for how those cycles start & work! & Others who have been conditioned or 🧠 washed in those cycles & never learned any different think it's normal & how it SHOULD be in a relationship. So, education ALL AROUND!
I agree with the comment below. You are so thorough in your cases and you do such a great job of speaking for those who can no longer speak for themselves. Thank you for all of your hard work. It is much appreciated! And had my husband done that to my child, I would have physically attacked him with every ounce of strength I had. That is not acceptable. It is sick!! This guy is sick and terribly twisted.
Thank you for that delivery. 20 years is no justice at all and I do believe that if he is ever released there is a high potential that he may kill again. (smh)
Totally agree!
Hi Somer Sanchez. I can't believe he didn't get the death penalty. Maybe this is why we have so much crime in the US because people like him are not prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Will see you on your next video & peace, love, Janine Smiley 🤗🙂😇🧡💛💚🛍👜👛👗👚👖👒👡💄📿💎💍
Europe and in this case ex Europe has so many low punishments it's crazy
@@janinemccartha1811 Unfortunately we haven't had the death penalty in the UK since the1960s and a life sentence, unless a minimum term is given it usually means they serve around 15-20 years. A whole-life tariff is quite rare, but recently our Judges do seem to be handing down longer minimum terms Thomas Cashman who killed a 9-year-old girl Oliva Pratt Corbell whilst trying to take out another low life, has just been given a minimum term of 42 years. I honestly don't think the low life in this case will ever be paroled
Red flag #1, Phillip not having any friends, not even a childhood friend to be his best man.
Red mist just sounds like something from a creepypasta like Squidward's Suicide.
😆 oh my God😆 Now I'm starving🤣
Thank you for your work and your compassion when dealing with such horrible subjects.
unbelievable.. 20 years for such a horrific crime :( hope he never gets parole
I’m only half way through and so frustrated. Mothers, your first and number 1 priority is to keep your children safe. I know too many woman who make a big fuss, saying they’re going to leave their pos partner..just to turn around and go right back, children in tow, only to repeat this toxic cycle over and over again. It’s DAMAGING for children. And in this case, I know if those children told their grandparents about the choking and beating so easily, that their mother more than likely knew beforehand. It’s sad that her babies lost their lives because she couldn’t bring herself to leave this monster.
We actually don't know that. The reason they told their Grandmother was due to her getting on to the little boy. & Maybe the Dad said do NOT tell your Mother. Or perhaps since his shift was always at night, he was always lurking to make sure. But I do feel if they were given a good "hiding" there'd have been marks on their butt & legs. So likely Mom saw those but maybe had no clue about the choking. We must also remember the time this happened in & that there's a very diff mindset about spanking & also leaving your spouse. Plus, I won't judge Claire too harshly bc she DID take it seriously & seriously enough that he had to go get help for himself & did "get better" which we know was for sure an act but he obviously did learn to control himself better for longer times & likely if he DID have an outburst he'd ⛽💡 her into staying bc he was so "OBVIOUSLY working hard on himself & he wasn't perfect but he was getting better & trying!" It would've been nice if things had been different & she'd been encouraged to leave him WHILE he worked on himself so the kids were safe during that time but again... Times were different even tho it seems it was "recent", it wasn't. 20y can change the way ppl see those situations & culturally things can be very different. Then you have to figure in the way that guys like this abusive POS operate. He'd been conditioning her for YEARS & that's what all the "You're fat!" Crap was. It was him beating in her head everyday, all day likely that she was NOTHING! She was worked & would be a Fat, Divorced, Stay at Home Mom of 2 kids who couldn't Even work to support herself! What would she do w\o him? She'd concern their kids to a hellhole where it would be them starving w
othing. & I'm INTIMATELY familiar w\how that can work, not bc I've been an abused woman but bc my entire childhood was living in JUST THAT ENVIRONMENT! It was a war zone & it took my Mom so long to leave & get out of those relationships. She was still dysfunctional & had major issues & PTSD when she did leave & those issues she never got help for. It sounds like Claire was on a MUCH better path & likely would've had her family free in those next few wks or months. She had started working & working out or dieting & growing her confidence, etc. So yes it's very sad that she was in that environment w\her kids, I just think you're judging her too harshly. & Ultimately, she paid way too high a price for her mistakes in my opinion. It just breaks my heart.
Mind boggling that he even has the chance to get out of prison after what he did. People that sell marijuana get longer sentences! The justice system is f*****.
Sometimes, when one grows up in a toxic family, it is not possible to stay connected to anyone in the family.
When murder is deliberate there should NEVER be any chance for parole.
I can't believe that there is even a chance this monster could be released!😡
Right?! How can 3 life sentences amount to so little time? He had so much time to reconsider his actions. Truly a monster
✨To my sweet Sommer, and all my Sommer sista's out there:
Thank you so much for this awesome channel with these fabulous followers!👯 We are a respectful, inquisitive, and empathetic bunch💐 And we have Sommer to thank for laying that foundation in each of her true crime episodes🙏 These cases are extremely sad, but offer valuable insight we can learn from to better protect ourselves and one another. Personally, I watch these cases partly because their stories should not close with their deaths, and partly because better preventative measures can be implemented to prevent this from happening to other potential victim(s). Sommer, you are exceptionally bright, and thought provoking🫶 I remember watching your first video right when you started. Afterwards, I thought to myself "Oh wow! She's like a total breath of fresh air." Side note: I actually watched a documentary last week that focused on David Koresh and The Branch Davidians, as well as Jim Jones and The Jonestown Massacre. Right in the middle of the documentary, your face flashed in my mind (hehehe 😆). If that doesn't prove the strength of your "brand" (your "brand" being your channel, with the majority of your content covering cults or cult-like true crime cases), then I don't know what does! Bravo, my friend!!!👏 Keep on being a beautiful badass lady😘 We L🩷VE you Sommer 👯 Xoxo's, Maegan 💋💋💋
You are the sweetest! Thank you so much for the continued support! I am so happy you are here 🥰🖤🥰🖤
@@sommersanchez Me too, Sommer bee 🐝😘🤗
What a great comment! The world, and especially the internet, needs more positive people like you. ❤
He didn't get parole :)
Sommer I have to say, your channel is my fave true crime discovery in years and years! I can’t believe how excellently you have presented these cases right from your first video. You’re killing it. Keep it up! ❤
You don’t know how much this comment means to me! Thank you so much! 🖤🥰
Agreed!
100% agree!
I also agree 1000%
Yeah just saw her a few weeks ago and she's now my favorite too
Hi Sommer, I enjoy your channel, and the way you present these stories. When I was a Deputy Sheriff working in the county jail I supervised Charles Ng. Have you ever thought of researching that case? Thanks Randy
Excited every time I see ur notification . I've said before I'll say again , love how you narrate these stories . Long bus journey, so perfect timing sommer , greetings from the emerald Isle 🇮🇪
Sommer, you should be seriously proud of yourself. Each video better than the previous one. Keep going, I’ll be here watching❤
Thank you so much for your uploads! I can’t really watch RUclipsrs that make something crazy scary sounding if that makes sense, the way you talk about things makes it very easy to follow and listen to!
An yes the parents of the Mira Hindly said that fighting parole hearings every few years was a nightmare and it was finally decided to stop having them every 3 years
yay, doing a polygel set on myself rn and this is the perfect thing to listen to while i’m doing my nails 🤍🤍 love you!!
I always do my nails and listen to true crime too ❤
@@sarahwhalen5679 awee!! 💕😊 girl tell me why i just got done w them 😫 i was using new gels and they were so hard to work with. i don’t even feel like doing a design anymore, just gunna use a cute clear gel w iridescent flakies and be done w it 😂
How funny I'm doing my nails tooo!!
As a Briton, I can attest to the fact that the British justice system is an absolute joke. How can someone like this EVER be released or even be considered for release???
I was wondering how he ended up with concurrent "life" sentences with parole, then I remembered that this was in the U.K. He would be doing consecutive life without parole sentences here in the States. What in the world is going on over there?!?
I think that this man should remain in prison so I have signed and donated. I'm so glad that I have found this video ! God bless you all guys ❤
Just getting caught up... This case is horrific, the kids and Claire must have been terrified! I can't imagine what the family was\ iis going through. Thank god the neighbors realized something wasn't right and marked where her car was and called Claire's mother and her stepfather. If not I wonder how much longer it would have been before they were found?
What the heck?!?!?? This man ANNIHILATED his entire family!!!! Why is there even the slightest possibility he could ever be freed?!?!
I’ve been with you since the very beginning. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Your Channel IS going to blow up one day, and you totally deserve it! Great video as always. ✨💜✨
OH-MY-GOSH! I just discovered your channel and the first video is one that took place about a mile from where I live in Northampton, UK. A very compelling telling of this case.
Although the 'Americanisms' used when applied to a local class caused a smile or two! (E.G. We don't take "vacations", we have 'holidays' etc lol 😅. We'll told Sommer... Peter
Hi Sommer, congrats on being able to work full time on your channel!! Knew that was coming, its your voice & how u tell a story,, I can't tell u what or why but you hold my interest like no other true crime storyteller! To the point I found myself tuning in at home on TV rather then Netflix, hulu, or any of the other 100 streaming programming options.. so I'd say that's talent!! Looking forward to the next video to help pass the miles driven at work..thanks for what u do!
That guy did a slow snap. He should be at his majestys pleasure in a psych ward. Hes clearly psychopathic! 😥
What in the actual HELL??! Life SHOULD mean life! He took 3 precious lives, and he should NEVER be released back into society! He SHOULD rot away in prison until he takes his last breath.
Hearing about this case makes me think back to when I was a little girl, and witnessing my dad beat the living crap out of my mom, because he was a very violent alcoholic and drug user. He even threatened to kill us (my younger sister and myself) in front of our mom, then kill my mom, then himself.
The last and final straw was him setting my mom’s upper right arm on fire on July 4th of 1978. She fled from him, taking us along, on what would’ve been their 9th anniversary.
We left soon after my dad left for work, and we could only take what we could carry; everything else had to stay behind. We had to be very, very, very quiet, so we didn’t wake up our great-grandma.
I truly hope that this demonic creature NEVER is released from prison.
that is sad im sorry that happened to you . I couldn't agree more, life means life byebye throw away the key
@mcnallica8 Thank you, my friend, for taking the time to read and respond to my comment.
My paternal grandpa offered to pay for my dad to go to rehab, and pay for him to seek help with his anger issues, but he refused. This was on Christmas Day in 1978. He was a fool, an idiot, and he lost a phenomenal wife and mother to his 2 daughters.
He had to go to prison for him to straighten himself out. So, I didn’t see, or talk to, him from June of 1980 to June of 2008. He had a pretty bad medical scare on December 9th of last year, and he had to be put into a semi-medically induced coma to help save his life. He married a beautiful, amazing, very loving, and sweet young woman, and she saved his life by telling him that he wasn’t going to go home until the doctors found out why he was pooping blood, so he owes her quite a bit.
He never got the chance to apologize to my mom for abusing her, in every way imaginable, for the 9 years that they were married, because she passed away on July 3rd of 1997.
I apologize for boring you. Please take care, my friend, and I hope that you, and your family has a very wonderful, relaxing, peaceful, safe and beautiful weekend. I hope that you don’t mind that I had subbed to you.
@@toniremer1594 You are not boring me whatever. Im sorry about your mom. Im glad your dad is doing better. I went through 2 divorces myself. I finally after almost 30 years of fighting with the VA just recently got 60% disabled rating. Before that I had a huge pill problem (opiates) I met an amazing woman who is 5 years older than me and she is the first woman I have been with that is older than me (best thing ive ever done) She helped me get clean about 9 years and 2 months ago and I have almost 10 years of no alcohol. Thank you for subscribing to me. sorry for the long story too. Speaking to others even strangers help us mentally and it's healthy. Semper Fi, Jeff
My dad once said I don't know why your mom hates me. She met me in a bar what did she expect?
Oh dear!
"That's all I have for you ..."
Dear lady, that was enough!!
So much detail, and input about things I have never heard of 😬. That was equivalent to taking a drink from a fire hose. You really do research these subjects. Thank you for being so thorough. It's absolutely spellbinding with your very calm and measured delivery. I haven't paid attention to such difficult input of info since I went to see the movie, "Ghandi", back in the early '80's 😮.
You truly have a talent for this. Count me in as a new subscriber, after only two videos 👍🏽
I'd be upset if my kids' school was giving out information to some random neighbor...
A life for a life. I don’t get these stupid criminal sentencing.
What kind of society would ever even consider someone like this ever being released. Glad that he wasn’t but still concerning that the system would even consider this.
I wish she had not forgiven him when he could not be bothered to complete the anger management course. He had been strangling his children and beating them but could not be bothered to finish the course but she stayed and let him be alone with the kids again?! I know we tend to look for the best in our partners but that was minimum effort. Also that there was such a huge gap between killing claire and then his kids..and his drugging the kids... shows premeditation and so he should never be free. I like that you call his bs out. Hes a pathetic controlling man. I honestly dont care how prisoners behave in prison. What they did to get them in there should be enough to keep them there.
Just signed petition, may he never see freedom, or light of day😢
When you have a narcissistic mother and decide to go no contact, often you hae to go no contact with ALL YOUR family if they don’t honor boundaries, act as flying monkeys… engage in triangulation. It can be impossible.
You're going to grow so quickly, I can already tell!!!
Nothing worse than control freaks. It is so overtly pathetic, that even THEY should see it as being messed up!
How could this MONSTER ever be given parole!?
What does house behavior have to do with anything? It was his behavior that got him a prison sentence to begin with. His behavior can change at will-he’s dangerous. These ridiculous prison sentences are an insult to the victims and their families. He murders 3 people and they take into consideration his behavior in prison. Now that’s a kind of stupidity I can’t even wrap my head around.
Loving your work I really only watch three true crime channel's (that chapter,10 to life and you) great interaction with the camera and you've only just started wow
Just discovered this creator 👍🏻😊 well done and thanks for sharing your work
throw away the key! his family can't live so why should he got free and create a life for himself. i prey he will be left in prison. 😢
I never countenanced being grateful for a trigger warning. I abso-bloomin’-lootley cringed when learning this horrible man inflicted God-only-knows what cruelties on animals. Innocent, trusting creatures that ask only care and safety in return for their loving companionship can never comprehend pain purposely done, never. Animals and children are hostages of fate. I’ll come around for the next case.
Their real marital problem was having 2 kids together before getting married
I love your videos! Newish viewer. Austin.
Alpha males: you're fat. Oh no you're losing weight and now you're confident! I don't like it. Oh no now I'm fat. Normal men: no baby you're not fat, even if you gain weight Im still gonna think you're hot. Now let's go get fat together.
So, so Horrific and Sad.
Never heard of this case.
Sommer, You're Excellent in The details of All of your Cases.
Your Narration is. WONDERFUL..
MAY CLAIRE, KIERAN, JADE, AND THE FAMILY DOGS. REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE. ..THANK GOD THE 2 PRECIOUS CHILDREN WERE LUCKY AND BLESSED TO HAVE A WONDERFUL MOM, CLAIRE & GRANDPARENTS..

MANY THANKS SOMMER.
I love this channel! ❤ You deliver so well
Your voice fits perfectly with these vídeos. Thanks for them😊
✨Omg SOMM! I just noticed you started only last April, and you already are at 50,000+ subscribers!!! I'm freaking out for you right now!🥳🎉🌈
I love your channel! Your stories are so detailed! ❤
You’re my new favorite podcaster! Keep up the great work ❤❤❤
Your videos are the best part of every second weekend.
Hi Summer,I love your channel! I'm a huge fan of cult stories and strange history.I wish you huge success on your vlog !
Would love to hear the justification for concurrent sentences, giving him consecutive would have ensured life in prison. It can't be argued that they were a continuous act, and he hid from the police showing no remorse.
As of June 11 I still cannot find any information on release or transfer, so that is good news at least.
I'm so glad to have your channel. You do an extraordinary job.
I watched this on some crime show a long time ago. I remember there was a psychologist or something commenting on the actions of him and she made a comment that at the wedding he seemed “awkward” and “didn’t know what to do while making a speech so obviously it was a red flag” (I’m obviously paraphrasing) and I definitely disagreed with that. Not everyone is a fantastic public speaker and I personally would be the same way. What I do think is telling about the wedding is that no one showed up for him, which I’m glad you mentioned that portion instead of the awkwardness of him at the wedding.
Sommer. I love your videos. Gorgeous and great story teller! You're like the female version of MrBallen. I love it
Omg, totally agree 👍
I love the props for Mr. Ballen. And for Sommer.
Her and sommer have the voice where I can listen to them at night, with headphones and wake up to them still telling stories and never get bored
They need to team up for a video!
He was one sick, derranged man. Was worried that he married Claire and had 2 children. His personality dead pan, something mentally wrong with him. Sure hope he never gets out of prison because of what he did to his family and pets.
Slipping into killing his family and not even being able to explain why, giving bad rep to the quiet kids, smh 😔
Oh my God... I... I'm sorry, but I have no words... This is monstrosity at it's worst... Humans can be such heartless monsters, it's frightening... Imagine, everyone You meet could potentially be such psycho... Creepy shit... He should never be released...
...it's astonishing what humans are capable of. Good and bad
Sommer, I just got turned on to your channel and it is so good! You do such a fantastic job covering these cases and are so great to watch as you speak so well and are so pretty! (not coming on ok) I am so happy to have found your videos. By the way,
Good job Sommer! Your a very good story teller!
"Now, I had never heard of a red mist moment, but it basically means a bullshit excuse to try and justify slaughtering his wife."
I always look forward to a new video from you!
I am not sorry that man should stay in prison for rhe rest of his life. Killing his family what a terrible man. Good case.
I love how you say Northampton! I'm from there! I was 6 when this happened and still think about it today. I'm so glad I found this, I was to young to understand what had happened but I remembered the kids being similar ages to me.
Such a horrible human, I'm so glad they decided against releasing him again this year! Evil sick man!!
He won't ever be released!!
He’s a “family annihilator” and just like John List, could not face the lack of control over his family. In his mind, it was obviously better they be dead than not under his control. So he killed them all. Horrible.
"The highest bar stool I own" insinuates she has many bar stools. I need neighbors like this! 😂
Damn... what a bastard. This is one of the reasons I prefer to stay single, to protect myself from bastards like this.
Dash. Noted this just now. In need of much required beauty sleep 😂😂😂😂 So this will keep me company at work tomorrow 😊
Great story 👏
