“My religious beliefs won’t allow me to divorce my husband but they’ll certainly be cool with my lover killing him.” Got it.
I was just gonna mention that. What BS. What religious values? At the point where they consider murder, I think divorce is the more acceptable option...
100000% sense. 😁👍
Many have been killed in the name of religion ,..and very hard to wrap your head around!💔
I got the sense what she really meant by that was she did not want to look bad in front of her church community by getting a divorce, but behind “closed doors” anything was fair game (adultery, murder, etc.)
@@samswift102 definetely she did it for optics not because she actually believed in that divorce is wrong.
I was very touched by the fact that Mike's mother campaigned for years to have her son's case reopened. They all called her crazy, but she fought hard and got some semblance of justice.
Poor woman, she was a true hero in this horrible story
I can see how your son being murdered and no one taking it seriously would drive you crazy
A mothers love ❤️
@@deadmanswife3625 wendy what the fuck are you smoking
And while the 2 couples were still married, Denise and Brian were constantly having secret rendezvous. Mike’s Mother never gave up. I can’t remember what channel it was, but at the end, Mike’s sweet precious Mother spoke to the court. It was just heart breaking. She always knew they did it. And Denise refused to let her see her only granddaughter. 😢
You left out the role Michael's mother played in getting the police to re open the case. She was amazing.
Yes Cheryl WIlliams, Michael's mother played a huge role in keeping this case alive for eighteen years. Denise's behavior toward her was appalling from the very beginning of this case, including preventing Cheryl from having any contact with her grand child (Michael and Denise's daughter).
Exactly! That poor lady fought like hell to find justice for her son. Her statement during Denise’s trial is absolutely heartbreaking.
What people are capable to do for money. Abuse on anyone’s life.
She absolutely was!! True Mother Bear!!
@Blue Element Yes, I'd heard that about his mother, too. It's always so crazy when people think divorce is sinful, but somehow, murder isn't!
She married her husbands killer, and had over a Million dollars in insurance payout as motive. She's definitely guilty. She should've been sent away for life without.
*He was never eaten by Alligators but was married to one.*
Just like an alligator! Big head small brain... that Denise.
I agree 😢🐊
💯
Outrageous slur on alligators. They don't pretend to be anything else.
I can’t imagine your best friend slowly circling you in the water waiting to murder you. HORRIBLE. ‘Nuff said. :(
I think I’d be in total shock and denial
Michael likely didn’t even register what the hell was going on. He’d just won a literal fight for his life, was clinging to a tree stump no doubt trying to breathe normally again and planning his next move to get the hell out of there when this coward likely shot him before he could even register what happened.
Also love it how Mrs Wife here is so very devoutly religious she couldn’t possibly divorce, but is perfectly AOK with infidelity and murder.
@@ElGibby Yes, hopefully he didn't realize what was going on.
Meh. I've been there. After the first two or three murder attempts, you get used to them trying to kill you.
Mike’s mother mentioned in her victim impact statement that until the day she dies, she’ll have nightmares of that exact moment. Her son struggling to stay afloat while his best friend circles around him waiting for the right moment to shoot him in the head. How terrified he must have been. My condolences to her and the rest of the family!
Thank you for covering this story. These two couples graduated from a private "Christian" school and were very indoctrinated in conservative religious beliefs. Somehow, Denise came to believe that divorce was more sinful than having a long term adulterous affair with her husband's best friend and committing murder to get out of the marriage. Denise Williams was definitely not innocent, but is a very cold and manipulative person.
Apparently later she backslid because she was talking divorce in the next marriage
Not entirely convinced this is the result of "conservative religious beliefs".
@@eadweard. true. It's about concern over the way people perceive you. I could be any facade. In this case it's "conservative religious person". Keeping up appearances and the fear of losing ones role in a social circle are a big factor of so many murders.
Why the quotation on "Christian" school? It appears as if you are trying to say that the school was not Christian and not that the wife was not practicing Christian values.
@@seangalvin3196 I think she just wanted her boyfriend to kill her husband.
My dad who lives in Tallahassee talked with Mike a few weeks before he disappeared about some work project. Said he was a kind and helpful man. His family worked very hard in trying to solve his disappearance. I remember the fliers and even picket signs they’d hold out.
Given the situation, I’m glad justice was served and his family gets a sense of closure.
I watched a documentary on this case last year. The police didn't keep the case active at first. Mike's mother never gave up and kept on and on not letting Mike be forgotten. She even stood at intersections with a sign asking if anyone knew anything. Her perseverance paid off. I feel the wife was on board and deserves life without parole.
Exactly. Wife was a big part of it. The murderer never promised to love honor protect and cherish. She did. She was the one Mike trusted. Infidelity she willingly had sex with another man knowing it was wrong. I guess religion didn't matter at that point! Sick pigs
Absolutely she was on board with the murder. Brian wouldn't have gone through with all that if he was unsure of Denise's reaction. Her role was very important.
Eric Alan's doc was fire
If you murder someone with a person you’re dating, you can’t ever break up OR trust that that person won’t kill you eventually.
Absolutely... such a bizzare scenario
@The Wraith No he didn't, did he?
You can’t ever break up? Well, unless they’re just pen pals in jail they will
OR turn you in. Committing murder with another connects you forever. She should have gone to an attorney immediately and turned states evidence in exchange for amenity and testifying against him. She messed up by reporting the kidnapping As If he wouldn't see her kidnapping charge and raise her a murder charge!
Denise could've easily just given Brian some money to go away. She was too greedy; and too confident.
Poor Michael never knew what was coming until it was too late. It seems Brian and Denise were perfect for each other both evil and dumb, a lethal combination.
@Maureen Ingleston.. Evil yes but not dumb. They knew exactly what they were doing..
Just in case it isn’t obvious how vile Denise is...After Mikes death Denise cut off contact with her daughter and Mike’s mother (so grandmother wasn’t allowed to see her granddaughter). Awful story.
Actually, he clarified in his parenthetical to avoid confusion. Secondly, there is a large body of case law regarding grandparent visitation rights.
@@Anonymous-54545 I think it’s pretty cruel since she killed her son then refused to let her have contact with her son’s only daughter. That’s a pretty important relationship for someone that just lost a child. If you loved your spouse and then loose them a relationship with your spouse’s parents after their death seems expected.
@@Anonymous-54545 you obviously are not a grandparent !! Or you would understand!! Grandkids are not your kids but they are your flesh and blood as biological kids are
@@Anonymous-54545 I'm with you. fuck grandparents!
they have no right over the parents to see the kids they just like to act like they do.
@@Anonymous-54545 maybe I can help explain…. The reason Denise cut off Michael’s mother was because his Mother new she was involved in the disappearance and death, she NEVER gave up posting billboards all over town contacting police over and over.. Denise told her if she didn’t stop she’d never see the baby again. His Mother said as much as she loves her only grandchild, she would NEVER stop looking for her only child.. her beloved son Michael.
This case has to be in the top ten most horrific murder betray, evil and heartbreaking ever!💔
It would make a good movie.
Denise is 51 years old now. At 81 when she gets out I doubt she will be a danger to society. That being said I live in Florida and followed her trial and if hadn't been for Mike's mother, who never gave up for 20 years, I don't believe she or Brian would ever have been caught and tried. Sick woman. His mother's victim impact statement at the sentencing AND at the appeal hearing was the most powerful one I have ever heard.
When I heard Sheryl impact statement at the re-sentencing hearing I said that monster will spent the next 30 years in prison. Sheryl is a super strong woman and a true hero.
Sadly it’s only 25 1/2 years after her good time. She should be in there until the day she dies. I don’t know why this case really disgusted me.
Besides "The Tell-Tale Heart", this store also reminds me strongly of "Thérèse Raquin", a mid-19th century French novel by Émile Zola. The murdered husband keeps showing up in the murderous couple's bed as an hallucination, driving them both to suicide.
Betrayal never comes from your enemies.
It always comes from your friends.
"Friends" - wolves on sheep's clothing.
True. If your enemies betrayed you, they would become your friends but it's your friends who betray you so they would then become your enemies who would then become your friends again.
I'm from Tallahassee, Bradfordville is the area where the rich rich people live. Your title got me by surprise!!! Didn't realize it would be this story today. Everyone who knew about it has known for decades that it was Denise, but she just kept working at FSU like nothing happened 👀
I'm from Tallahassee as well. I agree 100% with everything you said. The wife of a coworker worked with Denise when she was arrested. She acted surprise that the police showed up to escort her out of the office.
I am also from Tallahassee and I agree with everything you posted.
I'm also from Tallahassee.
Rickards Class of '82.
I only remember Bradfordville Blues Club. Best music ever!
Everybody knew except the police- What a wast of money....
@@cwctlh Really? Did they say what Denise said exactly to the police?! I'd love to have been there, to see her reaction close-up.
Just as an aside, as a former avid flyfisher, your waders will not “drag you down” if they fill with water while you’re still in the water, they will have neutral buoyancy. They will definitely be a hindrance if you try to climb out the water onto the bank or into a boat, though. I speak from experience, having fallen in many times. You may have to shuck off your waders in the water in order to get out, but they won’t pull you down while you’re in the water.
They act much like a suction cup when filled with water, keeping you suctioned to the surface
I did not know this.
Thank you for sharing.
💕🇺🇲
I totally agree. Waders, boots, heavy clothes, none of that will drag you under when you fall in. It'll all become neutrally buoyant. They just make it harder to get out of the water, but they don't drag you beneath the surface. Interestingly, if you're calm and the water isn't super choppy, you can lie back a bit and float and your head will stay above the water, even in fresh water (you are less buoyant in fresh water than in saltwater). People usually drown because of panic, although rough water and undertow currents can easily overcome your natural buoyancy and lead to drowning if you aren't a strong swimmer or are exhausted. If you fall in, first lean back and calm down. If your head starts to bob under, move your feet around a little bit to push it back up, and lean your head back and your stomach forward, and you'll be fine. Humans naturally float, particular those with a few extra pounds, since fat is less dense than water. After you suppress your initial panic, then figure out how to get out.
@@ChefSalad Finally, good news for those of us carrying "a few extra pounds"!
@@ChefSalad “few extra pounds” …hey! I resent that! Exactly right. I fell in quite a few times (we used to joke about jumping in at the start of the season to get it over with) and just let the current carry me a little ways to where I could ground myself and pull my waders down and empty most of the water and crawl out. I lost a couple of hats and sunglasses but I grimly held on to my rod in case I had to fight off a hungry trout. It’s only when you try to get out that you feel any water you’ve accumulated. I usually wore a belt with my waders so I usually only managed to ship a couple of gallons. Have a great day.
How unbelievable to think you could trust someone who murdered your husband.
Dr Grande, here you go again making my day better. I'm currently deep cleaning my stove (I boiled over hot chocolate earlier) and it's much more tolerable listening to your analysis.
"How unbelievable to think you could trust someone who murdered your husband. " *...and, of course, vise versa...a woman willing to help and keep quiet about her husband's murder!* IMO she was equally guilty!
@@JoBlo321 oh yes, definitely both ways!
She was equally guilty. Both deserve the chair.
Well she did get police protection
Excellent analogy to “The Telltale Heart”. It is one of my favorite Poe stories and I have seen it play out in real life. Similar to Rev. Dimmesdale in the “Scarlet Letter” by Hawthorne. The iniquity weighs and creates its own punishment. Of course, Denise must have skipped over some things in her Bible if she thought divorce was religiously distasteful, but adultery and murder would be ok.
That's for sure.
No, she never had a problem with divorce.
@@Anonymous-54545 I was talking about the Reverend who was actually Pearl’s father but kept it secret because of his status and profession. Everyday he came to the scaffold and stood in those masses shunning her as if he was innocent. Plus, Hester’s husband, Roger Chillingsworth, was in the crowd and he was quite visible to the Rev. and another reminder of the sin he was hiding. As time goes along, he becomes more bent and unwell because of the weight of the iniquity that he bore. Hester wore her scarlet A and dressed Pearl in scarlet as her public punishment. She was dealing with it, while the Rev. Was hiding it. How much better would it have been if Denise had just gotten a divorce, Michael would have lived to help raise his family, and she could have married Brian. Instead, they did it their way and the iniquity of their murder and greed led to their patting each other down for wires and checking for phone taps, and extreme paranoia. Step up, admit what you did, who you are and go on with life. Otherwise the iniquity and guilt will “getcha” eventually. My dissertation for the day! 😁👍🏻
She is out of her mind...
@@Sweetpea1128 there is a whole confession of Brian on you tube...I watched it last year...it is heartbreaking to see him realize how stupid and vile he has been
"We don't need these things"...yes, that's definitely an awkward moment.Good one as always Dr Grande 💐
❤ Love you dry, sarcastic but logical humor
Aww, Dr. G, thank you for featuring Mr. Williams' case... I remember watching Michael's mom (Ms. Cheryl) on the news throughout the years, I remember her with her picket signs demanding justice for her son, she always believed he was murdered and never gave up on seeking justice for him🥺. I remember how sad she was that Ms. Denise never allowed her to have a relationship with her granddaughter (Michael's daughter). During Ms. Denise's trial, Michael's mom attempted to talk to her granddaughter but she was brushed off, it was heartbreaking. I sure hope Ms. Cheryl is doing well. Another great analysis, Dr. G ♥️
Its interesting how many of these cases start with a normal childhood and upbringing but the more Grandes smooth narration takes us we descend deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole.
Yes! Somewhere along the way the murderous notion becomes seemingly possible! Unreal!😒
Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating what could be happening when a couple of jerks try to base their lives on the 1944 Paramount hit "Double Indemnity."
Apparently Denise's original plan was for Brian to kill his wife after killing her husband/ his best friend.
He had no problem killing his best friend yet murdering the mother of his children was a step too far.
Good analogy - similar plot line to Double Indemnity (btw a really good 1944 film starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck)
@@rickmcdowell9550 Thank you! I do what I can. 🦓
Thank you Dr Grande, I recall this case. What a piece of work his wife and his friend was!!! Low lines!!
I've looked into all the details and machinations of this murder and they did come up with an almost perfect plan. They would have gotten away with it- if it wasn't for, well them. it's scary what moderately intelligent people can pull off when they abandon all morality.
Seems to me they rarely pull it off!
They would have got away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids: those meddling kids being the both of them.
A secret is only truly a secret if only onde personagem knows about it. That's why it wasn't perfect
How can a DA make such an egregious plea bargain? I am a Brit and we don't have such a thing here.
Also... I really like the format of these videos. Just facts and a timeline followed by a short analysis. Compare that to the 'mainstream' crime programs where 15 mins of facts are spun out to multiple episodes with restarts for add breaks where the whole story is repeated before moving on. Good job.
I think Keith got 20 years for kidnapping Denise. So he’s probably going to die in prison. The plea bargain enabled them to get Denise.
@@JustMe-px9qy I get that but… it allows someone to get off scott free from a major crime whilst affording that same person with a method of revenge.
@@kentwydell9322 Does it matter if revenge for them aligns with justice for all?
I agree. And it’s just too much incentive for the prisoner to get revenge on his victim by implication her in a different crime. Maybe she was guilty of conspiracy to commit murder. But maybe not. There is more than reasonable doubt. The only evidence is testimony of a man who purportedly tried to murder her.
@@GoodnightJLH - it’s not a perfect system. But in this case… I think it worked.
I find it hilarious that the only reason she got caught is because she went to the police after the kidnapping after she said she wouldn't. LOL
Great analogy between the Tell-Tale Heart and this story!🙌🏼
This appears the be common sense but quite often we see people divorcing their spouses because they are in love with someone else, however they don’t take into account that in the same way they fell out of love with the first partner, they can also stop “loving” the next one, and the next, ….
Excellent review Dr. Grande, thank you.❤️
“I just need to grab my plastic tarps and bleach, I don’t even know why I bought these”🤷♀️ 🤣🤣love his dry sense of humour
@@twiggyzafox76 Ikr, he is funny…😂😅
Brian and Denise = conniving, manipulative, selfish people. Not to mention painfully stupid.
Thank you for another leveled analysis. It's fascinating to realize how many regular people can so easily become the worst in humanity.
@@cris-rj5zf you really think that we don't all have the capacity buried in there? It's part of the human condition, my dude. Up until this point in their history, they had not been out committing murders. Regular people, by most standards. Something brought their evil to the surface and they acted on it.
@@cris-rj5zf good and evil is just a lazy way of dismissing these events and never actually doing anything to understand, and hopefully prevent, similar events from taking place. It's a cop out. It's part of deviant human psychology, not some mythical construct.
It brought me tears when I heard Mike's mother spoke in front of judge. If not her years of continuous fight for Mike, this case probably wouldn't have had justice. She is a loving and strong woman just like Emmett Till's mother Ms. Mamie Till-Mobley. Much respect to them...
LOVE the tell tale heart!❤..yes there are parallels between this..caught by your own conscience and paranoia! thanks for this..loved it!brilliant and bizarre
Divorce is inconsistent with her religious belief but adultery and murder aren't 😂
That is what happens when people dont follow the original book and instead learn from the church.
No, she never had a problem with divorce.
A convenient excuse for this greedy woman who takes o responsibility for her evil.
@@seikclavmckiez5542 BS... what church do you know teaches this?
@isabellatambwe9525 no you're right, most churches will forgive everything except homosexuality
I recommend everyone watch Cheryl’s impact statement at the sentencing. So moving.
Thank you Dr. Grande. I've been hoping that you would cover this case. I watched Denise's trial and was enthralled with all the twists and turns. If I remember correctly, Brian had planted Mike's belongings at the lake later on.
Greed,and lust,are terrible things. Ended up in the death of an innocent man. Thank you so much for the video 🌱🌳🌵
Dr. Grande, it's mind boggling how prolific you are. And yet, your videos always provide the most in-depth critical analysis of whatever topic you are covering. They are so interesting to watch. 👏👏
Too religious for divorce but not too religious for adultery?
The “awkward moment” of Brian grabbing the murder clean up materials. Another funny observation to lighten a potentially horrific act.
It is molto grande to end this weekend with an amazing speculation analysis of Dr Grande. @all: Have a happy start into an hopefully positive new week❣😘❤🎉
Ro Se - May 2022 be healthy and happy for you and yours!
i have to compliment you on telling everything clearly without crazy exaggerations and i dont know im just really really happy that i found your channel because you tell everything calmly, even in a way that makes you really think along. youre a calm teller. thank you for making videos, very good decision of you to do (:
I like " calm teller."
If anybody is interested in learning more about this case, there's been a few TV shows made about it. Oxygen made one & so did the ID channel.
Thank you!!!
Money and greed are really the roots of all evil. Had to smile at your analyses of cold-water alligator behavior. Tell-tale heart scared and haunted me for quite a while after reading it. Thanks for another interesting upload.
Wow! I'm in the Nation's Capital and followed this case from beginning to the end that's how captivating Jerry's Mom was. I just loved gring for the truth about her son.
Thanks for keeping up your posting schedule! These videos help me get through these dark snowy winters here in New Hampshire!
And sunny, dry winters in Arizona🌵
Another great analysis, thorough and concise, with a simple eloquent narrative of the facts. Interesting and informative as always.
This is magnificent. Your at 977,000.
Who’d thought my premonition about your talents is coming to fruition? Your a real find, and now, everyone knows. I was subscribed at 233,000.
Dr Grande's channel is the most interesting one out there. The range of topics he analyzes is amazing and done in his intelligent, professional manner. Thank you for all the work you put into your presentation. You set the standard.
Hi Doctor Grande can you do an analysis of Jack The Ripper?
Ohh that would be neat. From what we know of the type of person he might have been.
As a Christian I find it so bizarre that some idiots actually justify cheating and murder but can’t reconcile divorce 😐. Adultery and murder don’t have excuses, meanwhile the Bible specifically outlines situations where divorce is possible, and yet they choose the former🤦🏽♀️.
I think it’s because they know they will be looked down upon by others for the divorce as it likely can’t be hidden while the cheating and murder can be hidden and therefor still be the victim after the murder . It’s more about self preservation then justification I think. To the public, not God, obviously. It’s so horrible because the husband was killed by the people he loved and trusted the most and was probably the only good Christian out of the 3!
No, she never had a problem with divorce.
I knew Kathy Winchester, Brian's first wife. Kathy and I taught together at a private Christian school just outside of Tallahassee. I met Denise once for Kathy's baby shower, Denise was also pregnant, and very aloof. I remember getting the call from Kathy that Mike was missing and to please pray for them to find him.
Then a few years later, when Kathy and Brian were separating, Brian called me and asked me to tell Kathy not to divorce him. Then Brian marrying Kathy's best friend, Denise. It was all so confusing back then. And still is.
What I don't understand is how could Kathy could remain close friends with Denise, the woman who not only broke up their marriage, but played a part in the murder?I know this isn't what the video is about, but I've waited for the right community to share my association with this case. If anyone who watched the case and can share some inight, as to why they think Kathy remained close woth Denise, I'd appreciate it.
Because Denise became her son’s stepmother. I would imagine that when she found out that Denise wanted both Kathy AND Mike to have “an accident” that she was done with her.
@@GACAPPFAN makes sense...friends close, enemies closer situation.
Thank you Dr Grande, your dedication and potency to drive us into the hardest crimes, thoughts that occur while we’re alive and are to be noted.
This case breaks my heart. The crazy, desperate, romantic passionate phase of a relationship is temporary. Friendship is for life. Brian should have recognized this and put some major time and distance between himself and Denise.
I think this clearly illustrates that neither sexual relationships nor friendships are for life necessarily.
This case is not typical of either real love or true friendship!
Jerry's mother deserves credit for spending the remaining years of her life investigating her son's disappearance, long after the police gave up and thought she was a nut. Her DIL Denise even threatened her, saying that if she didn't give up the idea that Jerry was murdered she would never be allowed to see his kids again. Jerry's mother said goodbye to the grandkids despite the heartbreak it caused, and continued her journey in trying to prove Denise was guilty of murdering her son. She didn't live long enough to see justice, but hopefully she's resting in peace with Jerry in a better place. A mother's love knows no bounds.
Yes she did . She saw justice in her lifetime
@@love_reka_777 No she didn't, she passed away before her son's ex wife was even arrested.
@@BunnySlippers82 you must not follow the case. Go off. 🙏🏾
@@love_reka_777 Take a hike.
Thank you for sharing.
This was a heartbreaking case as all are.
Michael's mother is an incredible inspiration.
thank you for the upload, Dr. Grande 💜
For those of you who haven't, I recommend watching "Brian Winchester testifies about killing Mike Williams" videos on YT. His testimony is unusually candid and straight forward, and gives an interesting perspective on what was going on.
I’ve watched it twice. Disturbing
Well, he had gotten immunity from the crime for testifying against Denise after she got him put in prison for kidnapping. Might as well be straightforward if you have immunity.
You're almost to a million subscribers! So exciting 😺! Keep up the great work 😘
OMG WOW!!! i was just thinking about this case today. Amazing. Thank you for covering this from a different perspective.
I love the comparison to The Telltale Heart
Thanx Dr. Grande - Matt Orchard did a fantastic breakdown of this case, thanx for your take on what occured. (ps I think you need to switch the high school pictures of the two men in the edit, just sayin').
Didn't think I could love your channel more, but when you mentioned Edgar Allen Poe and The Tell Tale Heart, I fell even further. Terrrrrrrrrrrrrific analysis!
Hey Dr. Grande❣️ I hope you're having a great weekend & thanks for the new video!
What a fascinating, but disturbing case! I love how much I learn from your content!
I also loved your reference to Edgar Allen Poe, and his Tell Tell- Tale Heart! A perfect fitting for this case.
Thanks for the content
I am relatively sure two commandments were broken so Denise wouldn't look bad to her family and friends, as well as collecting a lot of money for her husband's death (yet another broken commandment). Divorce the second time around was perfectly acceptable, because apparently murder is more of a headache than she had originally thought. Brian should not have been given immunity. If the investigation had gone further and not been closed so many times, perhaps it could have been solved, and both would have served life behind bars. "Tell-tale Heart" is a perfect analogy of this case.
Lazy investigative work. They should of never closed that case.
This case is ducking nuts. Thanks Dr. Grande!
You summed this up so perfectly it's ridiculous! I've been stuck on this case for awhile now. Very interesting
So insane you have religious beliefs that prevent you from divorce? But not murder????
Ridiculous isn’t it.
What a mockery of supposed deeply held religious beliefs.
And adultery😏
The real reason is that they don’t want to be judged by others in their community for being divorced but if she killed her husband then everyone would just feel sorry for her. It’s just weakness pure and simple.
She didn't care about God. She cared about getting what she wanted in a way that would allow her to keep up appearances in the community, control the custody of her daughter, and protect her finances. That's why she preferred murder to divorce. It's clear none of her decision-making was motivated by sincere religious convictions.
Can you do a video on Samuel Little?
Good job as always Doc!!
This video was great! I loved your final thoughts!!
She had religious views inconsistent with divorce? I can accept indefinitely, lying, and murder but I draw the line at divorce!
No, she never had a problem with divorce.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Budd Dwyer who killed himself during a press conference. I believe it's a sad case and his wanting to safeguard his family's financial future was on his mind. It's a case that (if I haven't already missed it!) would be interesting to hear your thoughts regarding the events. Thanks!☺️
Oh man I saw that video years ago and it haunted me. Reading his name just now gave me the shivers. Sad situation for him and everyone who witnessed it.
Very Interesting story, and an Excellent Analysis. Keep 'em coming, Dr. Grande
The more I listen to, and watch Dr. Grande, the more I wonder, is the cactus symbolic of a type of humor so dry only a cactus could survive? Or is the cactus symbolic of the prickly stubble of his beard 🤔. I don't mind if it remains a mystery, I just was curious. I really enjoy this channel. His voice is so calm and relaxing, and I love his sense of humor. It really helps deliver the message. 👍
I agree with you, Dr. Todd. There is at least reasonable doubt here. It’s likely she is guilty. But it makes no sense that her 2nd husband would try to kill her to keep her from turning him in for the previous murder…. Yet release her.
What if she is innocent and Brian killed her husband, later stalked and tried to kill her because she left him then later implicated her in his murder of her husband to get revenge on her for putting him in jail? We hear stories about men like this frequently. Men who are desperate to possess a particular woman. This story is quite plausible and is enough for reasonable doubt.
I fervently hope she is guilty. Could you imagine the anguish of being wrongfully jailed?
I don’t think it’s right to give full immunity to an actual murderer for implicating someone else as a conspirator when the person he has implicated was purportedly his own victim of a different crime. The murderer obviously has dubious character and credibility. And he has every reason to want to see one of his intended victims killed.
I do believe she probably had something to do with her first husband’s murder. But I have more than reasonable doubt.
Life is crazy
Absolutely fascinating story, especially with how long they got away with it before being found out. Denise was able to live her best life and watch her daughter grow but what an evil woman for taking a father's life from his daughter just because she didn't want to divorce. The scary part of it all is that she would have gotten away with this murder if it hadn't been for her own selfish greed. She was willing to put Brian away for harrasing her when she had finally had enough of him and wanted to divorce him (divorce was alright with her this time round I guess) and expected that he would keep quiet in jail. Really? What did he have to lose at this point? She didn't even offer to split the insurance money she had collected with him. Her own greed got her put away in the end. May Michael finally rest in peace. Such a devastating story for their daughter and Michael's mother who never gave up on getting justice for her son, she is the real hero in all this.
I love your dry humour as you tell these stories Dr Grande, brightens my day! I have a suggestion for a case that I would love to hear your take on. That's the case of Tyler Hagmaier from May 2016 in MA. It's an interesting case with many interesting facets.
For their young pictures at 0:33 you mixed up Michaels with Brian’s picture. And at 1:19 you put Michael’s picture instead of Brian’s.
Dr Grande I love your videos! Can you please analyze the case of Kody Brown’s personality and the effects of polygamy from the show Sister Wives?
That would be a very good case to analyze.
This would be great, especially now.
I often wonder how murderers go through their daily lives after they commit the act. How they must think about getting caught, possibly the paranoia is one effect.
Always informative and interesting. Thank you 😊
Can you please re-evaluate Dexter Morgan based on New Blood? Thank you so much.
Grande time.
I'd say she 'acted' guilty. Denise issued an ultimatum to his mother, Cheryl: Stop pushing for an investigation into his disappearance or never see Williams’ daughter Anslee again. Cheryl put up billboards, paid for a full-page ad in the newspaper, and wrote thousands of letters to the governor. The campaign came at the cost of her retirement. Dr Grande might consider making a video on 'mothers' that help campaign to solve their adult children's crimes.
I love your dry sense on humour and the monotone voice has me howlingggggg ! Your so funny Dr 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love from 🇬🇧! Also this case was heartbreaking!! I can’t believe people think she was innocent !!!
“Someone didn’t get all his ducks in a row”: what a case, what a case! Mike enjoyed duck hunting. It was a perfect cover for his wife and best friend to murder him. The plan was successful, but alligators, turtles, catfish, and water moccasins wanted their fifteen minutes of fame. Finally a nearly perfectly preserved skeleton was found under a pile of plywood. Psychics, insurance agents, high school sweethearts, and suicidal boyfriends all play their part before exiting from the stage. Trust is stranger than fiction in this one. Enjoy))))
Dr g ❤️✅💥💥💥
You did a good job analyzing this case.
The hero here is Sheryl, Mike's mother. What a strong woman. Both Denise and Brian are monsters.
Is the Dr. an Edgar Allen Poe fan?! Poe had an obsession too with being bricked up alive. (Get outta your studio quick, Dr. G! You might be a real life Fortunado!) 😂 It’d be interesting to know why he chose the themes he did. Thanks and have a great day, Dr. G! 🤩
Hi Anna - Dr. Grande continues to show us sides to his knowledge that broaden and deepen!
Poe actually had a morbid fear of being buried alive. Dr Grande analyzed Poe at my request a while back, search it to watch if you're interested.
@@rullmourn1142 Yes; being buried alive/trapped alive is a recurring theme and I’d love to know the reason for his fear. I’ll check out that video-thanks!! It’s cool that he did one for you!
Heard of this case a bit ago on the "True Crime Loser" channel. For a much more colorful and somewhat comical recount of the case check it out.
I am so relieved that she didn’t want to compromise her religious values with a divorce. Although it nice to know her religious values didn’t discourage murder. WTF!!!!!!
Brian: Pardon me while I grab my Kill Kit out of the car because I totally wasn’t gonna disappear you.
Doesn’t this entire channel fly in the face of the Goldwater Rule? You violate Section 7.3 of the Principles of Medical Ethics with every video you post. Are you prohibited from practicing? It seems like you open yourself up to a vast amount of legal risk with what you do and I doubt your disclaimer will absolve you of it. It’s reminiscent of the people who peddle Ponzi schemes telling you “this isn’t financial advice”
@Trueblave The Goldwater rule is a statement of ethics, so no that’s objectively wrong.
Also lol at not being part of an organization relieving you of moral standards. That is a nice cope you’ve got there
Great Stuff Doc. God Bless
I'm going to say one thing. "There is no loyalty among thieves!"...😆...Remember that. A very wise saying indeed.
Brian snapped & kidnapped Denise at Gunpoint. That's what Broke the Case. *Denise Williams* was sentenced to *30yrs in Prison in 2018* after she appealed & got her Life Sentence reversed and her petition for an accessory to Murder charge was denied.
*Brian Winchester* was Sentenced to *20yrs in Prison in 2017* for kidnapping Denise at Gunpoint after she left him fearing she'd tell authorities how her late-husband really died. *_She turned on Brian in Court after the kidnapping_* sobbing hysterically while telling the Judge *_to keep him in Jail; bashing him in court which got him sent to Prison._* After that he confessed while in Prison about the Murder they both plotted. He told investigators he lured _Mike Williams_ on a hunting trip where he shot and drowned him at Lake Seminole then buried the body.
