I remember this case, I have never forgotten McKay’s mother Paulette’s screams in the courtroom when she broke down, when it was described how her son had suffered, just so incredibly heartbreaking. Hilton was truly treacherous and evil.
@@Faristol7 The fact that they were involved with a scam pyramid scheme like Amway shows something about their trusting and naive characters. They were too nice and they had money, a perfect combination for thievery, predators and scams.
I am shocked that you even found this case. I’m from Conroe and was in high school when this occurred. It rocked our little town. My little brother went to school with McKay. What Crawford did to this child was abhorrent. I’ve seen and paid respects at his resting place.
@@Mimeeku Thanks for sharing. I’m going to look for that episode-sad as the story is to know-to better understand how these “mask-wearing” psychopaths work to gain the trust of good people. As a parent, it’s generally helpful to know some of the ways in which evil people gain favor in order to take whatever, or whomever, they want…satisfying their destructive greed and sadistic perversions. 😣😥
It was covered by the podcast 'Murder in America'. They did a really good job. They played segments of an interview they had with Paulette. They were even able to speak with her in person, as one of the cohosts is actually from Conroe. I know that's not terribly important info, but I just thought it shows the commitment and dedication the two hosts have, as they don't actually live in Conroe currently. It's a really great podcast, if you're inclined to listen to (sometimes disturbing) true crime 'stories'. The co-hosts are a young married couple, but there's none of that annoying banter and useless back and forth chatting that so often occurs in other multi-host pods. Just straight to narrating the topics, which I much prefer.
I'm surprised they didn't help cover it up. There's way too many of cops walking free today because of police covering up their evil acts. Matthew Boynton for example. His family being cops in leadership ensured Boynton's innocence.
That's the thing with narcissists though. They think they're the smartest person in the room, and can **never** fathom that you **wouldn't** buy into their story. They would never even *entertain the idea*, that someone else is smarter than them. A "person" like that is enraged at the notion that someone else might be smarter, richer, better in any way than them. That's why Hilton hated the Everett's for their money, their mansion, their happiness. He truly thought he deserved, and was entitled, to have or take everything the Everett's had. He likely thought that they didn't deserve all that money. That should be *his* money. Narcissists cannot see from any other perspective but their own inflated ego.
Our oldest daughter’s writing instructor at SHSU was Tannie Shannon who wrote a book called “Seed of Villainy: The Hilton Crawford Story. Mr. Shannon interviewed Crawford multiple times while the later awaited his execution. Crawford was himself married and had two sons. But he was a con man whose schemes were catching up to him. He thought kidnapping the son of his friends would solve his financial problems. I don’t believe he intended to murder McKay. But in order to process the act, he invented a partner, who the police could never verify, who he claimed actually murdered McKay. He went to his death still claiming it was this mystery man who killed the boy. Crawford did not fight his death sentence and his family refused to visit him in prison. Two families destroyed because a man couldn’t accept being mediocre.
The boy saw his face and would be able to recognize him. He could never allow the boy to live once he kidnapped him. The plan had to always have been murder.
I think he meant to kill the boy all along, how he could ever let him go, McKay called him uncle Hilty? I think he wanted to collect the ransom and then kill him, but something happened. He chickened out or McKay tried to escape. Poor kid. The “other guy”-defense fits here perfectly, it’s always other people’s fault with personalities like this. Ps. I gotta seek out that book, thanks for the recommendation :)
@@janemiettinen5176 At least what I remember from the book, his life was going down the drain and I don’t think he meant to murder him. He wasn’t thinking clearly but that is no excuse he deserved capital punishment.

Here is my analysis of the situation: This kidnapper was not only a psychopath but INCREDIBLY stupid, one of the most stupid criminals I have ever heard of.
@@roseh.3327 Stupid people come from all walks of life, as do cops. Dr. Grande just loves to criticize the cops and make statements about how a certain percentage have psychopathic traits; I don't know what statistics he is using or how up to date this information is. I looked this location up and it was a town of about 34,000 at the time, which was probably not full of crafty criminals, and this guy was in law enforcement in the 1960s and 1970s, a time when there were far fewer qualifications required. He may well have gotten his job through political influence with no intelligence required.
@@roseh.3327 Perplexing. If you're being sarcastic, good one.🤣 It seems to me that, "because he was a cop...he has years of experience, on how to be a good criminal." is the basic profile for a crappy criminal.
I don't think he actually did think he could get away with it. Dark tetrad (i.e., psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and sadism) braggadocio out of profound covetousness surfaces, yet again, in the realm of Dr. Grande videos (Exodus 20).
This is an incredibly sad story and a situation the parents clearly didn’t see coming. What an evil scheme this murderer planned. My sincere condolences to the parents of McKay. Thank you for reporting this as your analysis of this topic was indeed informative.
It’s quite likely his intent all along was to murder the boy. Cannot understand why some are compelled to do things such as this. Yes, he did start off seemingly with a kidnapping plan, but many kidnapping situations end up as a murder.
When just out of school I was looking for a full time job, a coworker of mine at my part time job, invited me along to a job open house. Funny, it was in a house, but it was an Amway recruitment meeting, instead. It was one of the longest, most boring and snack-less hours of my life. I didn’t invest and avoided that coworker until I left for a better job.
Had a similar experience with NSA. You probably don't recall the name. They were yet another pyramid scheme. The only customers, are the people recruited to sell the products. They sold water filters, and decanters. Nice presentation meetings though. I even went to two of them, they were so well put together. Met some interesting, if clueless, people at the meetings. Anyway, I didn't end up joining. I did buy one of their water filters and decanters. It worked well for about two years. So I guess it was worth it. Better to buy one of those things where you pour the water in, and it slowly seeps through the filter, into a water bottle. Cheaper and portable.
Thanks Dr. Very sad. The child's parents l belive never recovered the shame of letting that pspho near there son. I can't imagine the rumination, endless loop.
My parents lost their house & all their money by getting involved in a MLM scheme. I was mortified and heartbroken at their sheer stupidity. They died broke, after my sister and l helped them out financially many times.
@Faristol7 I'm so sorry you went through that. I was raised in a religious cult and most of my family is still in. They very rarely have contact with me. I've spent a lot of time learning about cults and how they suck people in. Partly for my own healing and partly in the hopes that I can help others get out. It starts with love bombing and eventually always relies on fear. Fear they won't be accepted, that they will lose community (or salvation) etc. It seems that a lot of the MLMs find people with a certain mindset. There's a lot of broken or hurting people in the world and they take advantage of them. There's very little you can do once someone is under mind control. It says a lot about your character that you tried though ❤️
He was stupid enough to kidnap the boy. I wish that he had been stupid enough to follow through with trying to collect the ransom so that he was caught before he hurt poor McKay. Or that something happened to make him abandon his plan sooner (like a neighbor recognizing and talking to him before he took off with the boy). I can only imagine how many times McKays poor parents have have played the what if game
@@martinwhite418 I have to question that statement. Immigrants with different backgrounds come from all over the world to the US annually. The US is, therefore, a multicultural society.
im so angry at this pos. he asked Paulette for forgiveness & said it was a tragedy for her family & HIS. so what?? he brought that tragedy onto everyone!! also, his last words were that he wanted God to bring him over to the shore gently.. just how gentle was Uncle Hilty when HE brutally brought McKay over to that shore? i would say it wasn't a very "gentle" way for that innocent young boy to die. he must have felt so betrayed and confused as to why his beloved uncle would do this. so sickening!!
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humour and sarcasm. January 30 is National Escape Day, National Croissant Day, Three Archbishops Day, National Inane Answering Machine Messages Day, Yodel For Your Neighbor Day, and BalognaWeen.
Why oh why did he have to kill a little harmless innocent boy???? What an evil murderer, he must be in H*ll by now. I can imagine the parents never getting over their boy;s murder. Just horrible.
Dr. Grande, do you know of any studies that indicate whether a victim's family appears to cope "more easily" if the murderer is put to death vs. If the killer spends the remainder of their lives in prison?
The worst part about former LEO who become criminals- is they know the system very, very well. I was involved in a case where a former LEO used his knowledge of law enforcement to run a prostitution ring with underage children. He got away with it for 27 years until I said something. (I didn’t go through all that though)
We cannot resort to vigilante justice, but I understand and appreciate what you are feeling, as a parent. My empathetic pathways were triggered for the Everett family. RIP McKay.
Those poor parents- that poor kid! Heartbreaking story- and Uncle Hilty! Are police officers administered psychological tests before being hired and trained? No wonder we have so many problems with these people who are supposed to be protecting the public! What percentage of law enforcement officers fit the psycopathy mold? I would love to know!
This is sad story how awful... RIP little one. I know my daughter was murdered along with my three grandchildren it was arson. They died March 14 of last year. Cant imagine how they must feel that was their only child...
It’s just going to get worse. Who in their right mind wants to be a police officer these days? They’re demonized, budgets constantly cut, thrown in jail for doing their job… the second the big cities turned on the police they dug their own graves
Because, in many large cities, the people were protesting (some rioting) and demanding to defund or disband the police. Soon afterward, their demands were met by politicians, but it meant MANY less officers for highly populated cities. By setting a lower recruit standard, they now attract less experienced officers (w/less pay) to now desperately fill some of those hastily vacated positions. In turns out, many of the quality officers retired early or moved to smaller towns or more rural areas, where they’re needed, appreciated, and get paid accordingly. Consequently, crime has risen in most of the cities who defunded and laid off their police officers.
At his age, only someone who was completely under the control of drug addiction or drunk would have been so stupid to have thought for one moment that he would have gotten away with this ridiculous kidnapping plan.
I don't support the death penalty, but in convictions such as this. There is no doubt, and involves harm to a child. There's no other punishment our society should settle for.
It's odd he would attempt to commit a crime in the same car he owned - thankfully, the neighbour was alert and got the details to connect him to the kidnapping.The parents leaving a little boy alone, without a guardian, is what made this man's "money making idea" seem more achievable.
Regarding his last meal. I have been present at the end of life of several people who were diagnosed terminally ill, living in an end of life facility, who were denied cake at their own birthday party “because they were diabetic”. I know this has nothing to do with the case, but if an upstanding citizen can’t get a piece of cake, why should a murderer? Feed them spirulina their last meal.
This has got to be one of the dumbest ex-cops I've ever heard of. He just kept making the dumbest mistakes one after the other. First, using his own easy identifiable vehicle to commit the crime, driving up to the victims house in complete daylight. Second, involving multiple people in his crime that would be easy to tie back to himself. Such as using an ex-employee who already had a record, and was dumb enough to use her own phone to call the parents, demanding ransom. He revealed himself to the victim, meaning he would either have to kill him, even if he got the ransom money or be on the run for the rest of his life. I think the lesson is clear here.......Never get involved with Amway. It was just a bad idea all around.
I don't understand, why was McKay left alone while his parents went to an AmWay meeting. Didn't he have babysitters? I cannot imagine my parents leaving me and my brother alone for any amount of time.
My parents started leaving me alone when I was 12, because I didn’t want a babysitter anymore, but they never stayed out later than 8-9 pm. And this was 1964.
I agree. However, Madeleine was only three-years-old, and she and her family were on a family vacation in a foreign country. Smh I didn't realize until recently that her one-year-old twin siblings were also left alone with her. I stayed home alone when I was twelve and even babysat, but we had very close neighbors, and it wasn't never more than a couple of hours.
Ahhh yes!! I loved their vitamins!! Really high quality! Also, the cleaning products!! They actually still exist. I was at a yard sale this past summer and their was a young lady selling Amway products. Their energy drink "XS" is also really good!
My parents were in Amway for a couple of years when I was a kid: it is not like a religious cult, it IS one, disguised as a pyramid scheme😂. Their meetings all include very lengthy church services and they make it clear to new recruits that Christianity is basically a non-negotiable prerequisite for joining.
I am a Christian and I was invited to an Amway meeting by my LDS babysitter, who raised Siberian Huskies in kennels on her property, too. The meeting was lengthy and boring. I recognized that it was a pyramid scheme immediately. So, I was not interested. There was no reference to my faith at all. I was a full-time university Medical Technology student at EWU and worked 1.5 jobs to support my kids as a single parent. At that time, I spent $450/mo. for childcare and $300/mo. for rent at $5.00/hr. Some things are just not worth the risk.
This is so curious and so devastating that relationships end after going through horrific trauma. Not only spouses. When my little cousin ODed and he was my and my sister’s favorite (he was many years younger than us so he was the baby) when he passed away, my sister and I couldn’t hang out together. I literally couldn’t stand the sight of her and so did she when we were closer than best friends before. It took us years to reconnect. I wonder if there’s something psychological behind this and if you can make a video about it even if it isn’t your usual way
I’ve been watching crime videos all day and there’s a recurring theme: the criminals in all of them were cops. Who are we hiring to police our society?
Poor kid (and family); given how badly it all went down, I do wonder how the Everetts came to trust him (I would imagine the "mask would have slipped" long before then). Thanks, as always, Dr. Grande!
Thank you for your Analysis Dr Grande. I hope Hilton rots in hell. Obviously this cruel wicked guy had no empathy in his brain. In my opinion, people who can kill children for no reason at all are an abomination. This story had me in tears last night 😢.
My granny’s friend Gloria (lord rest her soul) was the godmother of the lady perpetrator . This case was big news in Houston and I was in Conroe just last night and thought of this case. It came to mind with the audrii case. Thanks for covering this. Here in the Houston area we have a lot of freaks like this. Haha spent the rest of his life in the big house
He was so evil, thinks God will forgive & go easy. No No No God will judge accordingly. Just as Texas courts did & sent him to hell eternally. Greedy, Narcissistic & Evil How heartbreaking for his parents, my condolences 🌹
This is from an interview of McKay’s mother when Irene Flores was paroled: “When we asked Norman what she would say to Flores, she paused for a few seconds and then replied, “Die.”
yes my late father thought it was laughable as a business idea. But for those involved it was not so funny. From Amway to cocain to kidnaping and murder. What a matter. only you Dr Grande can serve up such delicious intellectual gourmet fare. Zero fat sugar and calories just mind food perfect for the times we live in.
I agree. I wish McKay could have been blindfolded by someone so he didn't see him to know it was Uncle Hilty... makes me sick to think of the confusion and betrayal that child felt
It was assumed Uncle Hilty used being known to get the kid to go with him. As such the killing would have been planed. In Australia a kid was kidnapped and murdered for ransom after the parents won the lottery. That kid's name was Graham Thorn.
I remember this case, I have never forgotten McKay’s mother Paulette’s screams in the courtroom when she broke down, when it was described how her son had suffered, just so incredibly heartbreaking. Hilton was truly treacherous and evil.

As a child it was easy to spot the bad guy in cartoons, he had the black hat. True life is so much harder when evil lurks so closely. 😢
This is so true. I learned that the "nice family man" at work was a pervert and predator and I was shocked. It makes it hard to trust anyone.

What an evil sadistic man. That poor little innocent boy. Rest in peace, McKay
How is a former cop dumb enough to use his own car to commit a violent crime? I'm thankful for the observant neighbor.
RIP young man
He was just a child, never even made it to being a young man, even more tragic
Dr. Grande!!!! You're so fascinating. Yay for the upload, and thank you for all your hard work
Brilliant delivery as always Doc 😊
I'm screaming!! "he was eating like there was no tomorrow" no one delivers a roast like Dr. Grande !!!
Roast 😂 I see what you did.
@@nhmooytis7058 I'm glad you can appreciate my dorky pun...Lol.. idk if everyone got the joke
@@scorpion-lg4ic I love all puns even dorky ones 😀
Dr. Grande, do you know of any studies that indicate whether a victim's family appears to cope "more easily" if the murderer is put to death vs. If the killer spends the remainder of their lives in prison?
That's a very interesting question. I've seen in some of these cases where families of the deceased have had a say in what happens.
The worst part about former LEO who become criminals- is they know the system very, very well.
I was involved in a case where a former LEO used his knowledge of law enforcement to run a prostitution ring with underage children. He got away with it for 27 years until I said something.
(I didn’t go through all that though)

Your eating joke was great🍞🍕🥓Excellent points & great stats on Amway. I agree with your analysis. Thanks Dr G😊🧡🧡
They should let parents carry out capital punishment for the murder of their child.
Capital punishment is nice in theory but is too dangerous in reality
We cannot resort to vigilante justice, but I understand and appreciate what you are feeling, as a parent. My empathetic pathways were triggered for the Everett family. RIP McKay.
Eye for an eye isn’t not what Christians believe. Don’t call yourselves Christians if you believe in the death penalty. You’re only deceiving yourself
@@Yodeller1917 Disagree
@@wanya_telbornthey’re saying because false accusations can happen
Those poor parents- that poor kid! Heartbreaking story- and Uncle Hilty! Are police officers administered psychological tests before being hired and trained? No wonder we have so many problems with these people who are supposed to be protecting the public! What percentage of law enforcement officers fit the psycopathy mold? I would love to know!
Awful. This man was a monster. Poor child.
He was trying to do the all you can eat buffet.
Wow, what an evil entity.
What a stupid senseless murder!!! 😡
The poor child, he must have been terrified.
Amway was a thing in 1980s UK, but nothing like youve described here. It was a door to door business selling cleaning products.
Same in New Zealand.
This is sad story how awful... RIP little one. I know my daughter was murdered along with my three grandchildren it was arson. They died March 14 of last year. Cant imagine how they must feel that was their only child...
Isn't just wonderful that police around the country are LOWERING their standards to be an officer.
It’s just going to get worse. Who in their right mind wants to be a police officer these days? They’re demonized, budgets constantly cut, thrown in jail for doing their job… the second the big cities turned on the police they dug their own graves
Because, in many large cities, the people were protesting (some rioting) and demanding to defund or disband the police. Soon afterward, their demands were met by politicians, but it meant MANY less officers for highly populated cities. By setting a lower recruit standard, they now attract less experienced officers (w/less pay) to now desperately fill some of those hastily vacated positions.
In turns out, many of the quality officers retired early or moved to smaller towns or more rural areas, where they’re needed, appreciated, and get paid accordingly. Consequently, crime has risen in most of the cities who defunded and laid off their police officers.
@@leannemo7382Indeed! And that was the real insurrection, for which no one will be held accountable.
"He was eating like there was no tomorrow." I laughed so hard!
At his age, only someone who was completely under the control of drug addiction or drunk would have been so stupid to have thought for one moment that he would have gotten away with this ridiculous kidnapping plan.
Hi Dr Grande, good morning from Southern California.
Excellent analysis, as always I learn something new from your videos.
Yeah that last meal would have made me feel to bloated and gassy to finish my sentence.
Analysis, awesome as always. Wicked sense of humour, enjoyed. Thank you Dr. Grande❤
Wonderful analysis as always, Dr Grande! But what a tragic, if somewhat unsurprising, story! 😢
He was expecting to go to heaven? Wow!
I don't support the death penalty, but in convictions such as this. There is no doubt, and involves harm to a child. There's no other punishment our society should settle for.
Sorry they trusted thst man with the child. There sbould have been other people whether family or really good friends. Sorry for outcome. Good video.
It's odd he would attempt to commit a crime in the same car he owned - thankfully, the neighbour was alert and got the details to connect him to the kidnapping.The parents leaving a little boy alone, without a guardian, is what made this man's "money making idea" seem more achievable.
This is just horrifying
Could you do one on Michael Ross, he was a serial killer who killed my mom's friend when she was a kid
Regarding his last meal. I have been present at the end of life of several people who were diagnosed terminally ill, living in an end of life facility, who were denied cake at their own birthday party “because they were diabetic”.
I know this has nothing to do with the case, but if an upstanding citizen can’t get a piece of cake, why should a murderer?
Feed them spirulina their last meal.
How ridiculous . If you're terminal you can have whatever you want. Must be a pretty pedantic place to do that.
Outstanding! Excellent! Thank You, Doctor.
LOL... R.L. Remington ?🤣The cops asked him who shot someone and he literally provided a the name of a gun manufacturer.
The empty prison pantry. I had to listen to that like five times. Thanks Dr grande!
The sarcasm was perfect! Bravo 👏
This has got to be one of the dumbest ex-cops I've ever heard of. He just kept making the dumbest mistakes one after the other. First, using his own easy identifiable vehicle to commit the crime, driving up to the victims house in complete daylight. Second, involving multiple people in his crime that would be easy to tie back to himself. Such as using an ex-employee who already had a record, and was dumb enough to use her own phone to call the parents, demanding ransom. He revealed himself to the victim, meaning he would either have to kill him, even if he got the ransom money or be on the run for the rest of his life.
I think the lesson is clear here.......Never get involved with Amway. It was just a bad idea all around.
I don't understand, why was McKay left alone while his parents went to an AmWay meeting. Didn't he have babysitters? I cannot imagine my parents leaving me and my brother alone for any amount of time.
He was 12 years old. Do your parents still not leave you home alone?
My parents started leaving me alone when I was 12, because I didn’t want a babysitter anymore, but they never stayed out later than 8-9 pm. And this was 1964.
Why are people questioning that rather than why there are people sneaking around doing these atrocious things?
@@tessajones9393 there’s no explanation for sociopaths and psychopaths beyond ‘they’re evil.’
@@tessajones9393 and they’re on the street because Democrats and bleeding hearts refuse to punish them.
The scary thing is, Crawford was in law enforcement for many years. Just imagine what things that psychopath got away with before this.
"Hilton was eating like there was no tomorrow" 😆
What a horrifying case. That beautiful, innocent child murdered for no reason.
These stories get grimmer and grimmer I'm so disappointed over the last 5 years what my beautiful country has became
... R L Remington was likely inspired by Remington Steel.
I thought that too!😊
Reminds me of the Madeleine McCann case. Why leave young children alone for extended time periods?
I agree. However, Madeleine was only three-years-old, and she and her family were on a family vacation in a foreign country. Smh I didn't realize until recently that her one-year-old twin siblings were also left alone with her. I stayed home alone when I was twelve and even babysat, but we had very close neighbors, and it wasn't never more than a couple of hours.
I think the question should not be to blame the parents but the offenders. Why are people sneaking around looking for vulnerable children?
Big difference between 12 and 3. Some kids babysit others at 12.
He killed their precious boy and the parents were then mentally tortured by his act until they died.
On a side note, amway used to have some really great products 😮😂
Ahhh yes!! I loved their vitamins!! Really high quality! Also, the cleaning products!! They actually still exist. I was at a yard sale this past summer and their was a young lady selling Amway products. Their energy drink "XS" is also really good!
@@Rebecca-hc5ju i loved their cleaning products@
Do they still call themselves Amway? I thought they had changed their name.
@@ac.7724 🤷♀️ i have no idea
My friend still swears by the laundry detergent
My parents were in Amway for a couple of years when I was a kid: it is not like a religious cult, it IS one, disguised as a pyramid scheme😂. Their meetings all include very lengthy church services and they make it clear to new recruits that Christianity is basically a non-negotiable prerequisite for joining.
I am a Christian and I was invited to an Amway meeting by my LDS babysitter, who raised Siberian Huskies in kennels on her property, too. The meeting was lengthy and boring. I recognized that it was a pyramid scheme immediately. So, I was not interested. There was no reference to my faith at all. I was a full-time university Medical Technology student at EWU and worked 1.5 jobs to support my kids as a single parent. At that time, I spent $450/mo. for childcare and $300/mo. for rent at $5.00/hr. Some things are just not worth the risk.
I think there's a niche for a channel that recounts a condemned individual's last day and, especially, last meal!
Dr. Grande, your jokes in this one were my favorite
This is so curious and so devastating that relationships end after going through horrific trauma. Not only spouses. When my little cousin ODed and he was my and my sister’s favorite (he was many years younger than us so he was the baby) when he passed away, my sister and I couldn’t hang out together. I literally couldn’t stand the sight of her and so did she when we were closer than best friends before. It took us years to reconnect. I wonder if there’s something psychological behind this and if you can make a video about it even if it isn’t your usual way
Texas has changed the last meal to what everyone else eats in the mess hall
I assume it's Texas but one state says it will no longer grant dead roll inmates lavish last meals.
joedirt, I dont see why any states offer a lavish last meal. i wonder why they do? Do they feel guilty for being executioners? Or what?
I’ve been watching crime videos all day and there’s a recurring theme: the criminals in all of them were cops. Who are we hiring to police our society?
Poor kid (and family); given how badly it all went down, I do wonder how the Everetts came to trust him (I would imagine the "mask would have slipped" long before then). Thanks, as always, Dr. Grande!
I doubt Hilton was that hungry, it sounds like he was hoping to leave a parting gift for his executioners.
I grew up supporting my uncle Hilty on patreon but later learned to like and subscribe to the analysis of this video
Thank you for your Analysis Dr Grande.
I hope Hilton rots in hell. Obviously this cruel wicked guy had no empathy in his brain.
In my opinion, people who can kill children for no reason at all are an abomination.
This story had me in tears last night 😢.
My granny’s friend Gloria (lord rest her soul) was the godmother of the lady perpetrator . This case was big news in Houston and I was in Conroe just last night and thought of this case. It came to mind with the audrii case. Thanks for covering this. Here in the Houston area we have a lot of freaks like this. Haha spent the rest of his life in the big house
He got a bigger house 😂
"Uncle hilty" looked like a creep jesus what were they thinking
That poor little boy. I too would live a walking death if I had to experience such tragedy...
He was so evil, thinks God will forgive & go easy. No No No God will judge accordingly. Just as Texas courts did & sent him to hell eternally.
Greedy, Narcissistic & Evil
How heartbreaking for his parents, my condolences 🌹
Tragic.poor boy
Scamway.
This is from an interview of McKay’s mother when Irene Flores was paroled:
“When we asked Norman what she would say to Flores, she paused for a few seconds and then replied, “Die.”
Always interesting
Thank you ❤
Do an analysis on Vince McMahon and his current legal situation
Would a psychopathic person feel guilt and shame?
No, that is why they are able to do what they do!
yes my late father thought it was laughable as a business idea. But for those involved it was not so funny. From Amway to cocain to kidnaping and murder. What a matter. only you Dr Grande can serve up such delicious intellectual gourmet fare. Zero fat sugar and calories just mind food perfect for the times we live in.
Why the fuck did he kill the kid
I agree. I wish McKay could have been blindfolded by someone so he didn't see him to know it was Uncle Hilty... makes me sick to think of the confusion and betrayal that child felt
What did Dr. Grande say at 11:00?
What was the purpose of any of it?
Amway made him do it...
It was assumed Uncle Hilty used being known to get the kid to go with him. As such the killing would have been planed. In Australia a kid was kidnapped and murdered for ransom after the parents won the lottery. That kid's name was Graham Thorn.
