This bothers me, because I did 20 years in the military, and I knew a lot of drunks with impeccable records, who treated their families like crap.... Having an outstanding service record shouldn't clear you of anything. There's decorated policemen who go home, drink and brutalize their spouses.... The fact that he had a good service record, and that cleared him of being a suspect originally is ridiculous. I'm a combat veteran, I would think that if something happened to somebody in my life that you would look into me, because I could possibly be prone to violence. These were some ridiculous assumptions on the investigators part

And not get married or have kids. And our system sucks🙄😡
@summer-no6fx Well, since alimony is a part of a divorce, it always applies to an adult. The point of alimony, which can be paid to either the man or the woman, is to adjust for the income disparity between the two. If one spouse makes 100k a year and the other makes 50k a year, they are both used to a higher means of living. When they divorce, the one who made more generally pays the other one for a period of time so they can survive at the same means.
I feel so bad for the little girl. I hope she can find solace in the fact that her mom loved her till her last moment. I’m glad she’s surrounded by a loving family.

I will never understand families that forgive the person who BRUTALLY murdered their loved one, to me it feels like the person who was murdered was worthless to them, it makes me sick. If ANYONE murdered one of my children i would be hoping the burn in hell, NOT granting them forgiveness. R.I.P Tricia, you deserved so much better, including from your own family ❤️🕊
Courtney, I totally get where you are coming from. If I may, Forgiveness in these type of cases is to not allow the perpetrator the power to continue infecting the surviving loved ones by the byproduct of hate. It’s difficult to cherish the life our loved ones lived if our minds and hearts are occupied with the one event that led to one’s premature demised. It’s too much power to give to those who have done wrong. Forgiveness is like taking out the trash so our minds and hearts can be cleared to honor those deserving to be in such sacred places within us. We don ‘t put trash on a pedestal. We throw that sh** away or flush it! Respectfully. Forgiveness is beyond powerful thus why it is not very commonly used.
@@sheilavayenas2016no, churches absolutely don't do that. Forgiveness is very much a Christian value, but perfect adherence is not expected. However those in faith, and mental health professionals will tell you Forgiveness isn't something you do for the perpetrator, it's something you do for yourself. Remember, anger is like taking poison in the hopes that someone else gets sick. You should be as toxic as you want, but you don't get to tell someone else that they are wrong for dealing with it how they see fit. You need to get some help because you are toxic AF.
The fact that he strangled and killed two dogs- in her presence- says a whole lot about his true nature. If he was capable of killing before, albeit a pair of dogs and not a human being, then he could do it again!! The military should have charged him too.
Once when I was speaking to my therapist in regards to concerns I had about my daughter's father and his emotionally abusive ways she said "please do not keep this to yourself. Share the things he says and do that worry you with your family or someone close. That way, should anything ever happen they won't be in the dark about who he really is". Steven Williams was a monster way before he did this. I just wish she had let her family know his true nature.
Often people choose to forgive for their own well being because living with hate inside of you like that can be lethal. In this case its like they did it immediately not after long soul searching. Boggles the mind.
@@bovinityleak2066this is an old, tired talking point. You don't have to hate a person by not forgiving them. It's a righteous thing with The Most High to RECOMPENSE TRIBULATION TO THEM THAT TROUBLE YOU
Love the inclusion of interrogation footage. Was well done, and analysed a bit. Not just a massive chunk of interrogation footage dumped in a video and called new content.
Oh my goodness this was gruesome and evil. Steven should not be alive in my opinion. Poor little Faith, her momma gone from her young, innocent life. Her dad is a true POS.
When Steven first talked to the detective in the interview saying that his ex wife was always nicer in person than on the phone, I knew right then that she was afraid of him and that he had beat her. I know because I was in a similar situation
His manipulative calm demeanor in the interrogation paints a disturbing picture of the level and types of abuse Tricia must have endured. Cluster B for sure
And for so long! It, honestly, makes me worry for her and how long she endured his mind games and abuse because they met so young. It's scary. I wonder if her family knew that he was like this with her? And did his family know?
As this story came to a conclusion and we found out exactly what this monster did, I felt sick. He not only murdered and desecrated, his ex-wife’s body, but he also killed someone he’s known since childhood. This truly is a sickening case. Thank you Jiles for the upload.
That ALWAYS bothers me MORE than a snapped situation,it’s a devilish, evil thing to do & continued to do ,to someone you’ve known for a long time 😞….✌🏻
I was in the Army for 8 years, and my Husband just retired after 24 years. The military doesn't make people psychopaths. It just attracts them more so than other occupations. The lure of obtaining significant power over a lot of people attracts people who are pathological. It doesn't help that to obtain that rank and power, you have to be willing to throw everything and everyone under the bus and view people not as people but as assests and risks. The military structure actually favors this thought process.
Man! If somebody like him would go so far as murder an animal to prove a point who knows what he'd be capable of, very dangerous individual not to be trusted around other animals or children not even his own and to kick his wife in the stomach while she's pregnant with his child just crazy.
All Military personnel Know what to do in an emergency This Guy is A Monster He is disgusting How could you kill the mother of your CHILD THEY ARE SACRED He will probably claim PTSD No disrespect to People that suffer PTSD Own your actions Nuff Said
This guy is definitely a monster. that said, an old HS friend of mine was army for I think 8 years. He didnt know basic CPR. Granted, he spent most of his time in the military drunk is my understanding so maybe he just didnt pay attention but its not ALL military.
@@idoitforfish4427I think they're just saying you shouldn't treat the mother of your child so abhorrently. you're essentially ruining your child's life by taking away both of their parents in this situation.
I can't understand how people think the only solution to a problem is to take the life of your loved ones. You have to be a savage monster to resort to killing another human being. R.I.P ✝️ 💐.
This man is such a horrible liar! He lost it, attacked her and murdered her. Then, cleaned up the scene and pretends like he is a savior by leaving her dead with her belongings. Meanwhile the truth is he murdered Tricia, dismembered her body, poured acid on her and ripped her teeth from her skull. What a POS! He didn’t deserve to be in Tricia’s life let alone have a child with Tricia. I hope there is prison justice taken out on this less then human psychopathic murderer. My God judge you Steven for the rest of eternity. May you never rest again and endlessly be tortured within your soul and body. The U.S. military absolutely should have prosecuted Steven and sentence to death since our U.S. court system failed Tricia by giving him a plea deal.
Brilliant police work, why would the ex be a suspect, he seems so nice?. Apart from bashing her occasionally. And he passed the lie detector, a device so poorly supported by evidence you’d do a similar job by holding the subjects hands like Bob Di Nero in Meet the Parents. Finally how did they see through his entirely plausible story of yes I left her unconscious body out in the middle of nowhere with her phone just in case she came to I am after all, a compassionate man and I really care. I wouldn’t hurt a fly even if that fly was totally unreasonable in its demands for alimony.
You've got to go back to the old opening. That creepy music then the silhouettes with the strange stances and red eyes was just creepy as hell. Set the tone perfectly.
What the hell is wrong with men/husbands that they really think killing their partners is the best choice? Are they that stupid to think they'll actually get away with they're actions? I don't get it now nor do I think I'll ever get it! I am baffled beyond words!
Tricia and Steven lived in my community, sat in front of me in church and she was a precious, loving dear friend!! He was never very talkative and didn't interact much at church. The last time I spent with Tricia was when she was packing up to head to Florida...she confided some infidelities to me but never appeared afraid he would harm her. She was not the kind of person to ":set up" anything as he was suggesting. All Tricia wanted was her daughter and to raise her happily in the faith that she held so dear. I understand a lot of people dont understand the forgiveness given by her family but to each his own....we all have different ways of coping.
He thought "how does this look" about his wife dead on his floor? What about how it looks that you take her body and some of her stuff and drop her off somewhere. What an idiotic ridiculous story. People are so unbelievable. I find it so difficult to understand how people think killing someone is the answer to anything!
So many of these cases over child custody totally baffle me. Do they never think of the children? That this is the child's other parent and what harm it will do to them? Maybe these people never watch crime shows to see that the murderer IS usually caught!
This probably won't come as a shock, but Steven is full of shit. Gotta love Jiles for saying what everyone, including the cops are thinking. Awesome video as usual Jiles, and thanks so much for putting these out and for the fantastic commentary.
A boyfriend of mine kick my dog when we were dating in highschool I broke up with him emediactly later to find out he killed his last girlfriend after me and was doing life 😢I important to read the sign of abuse
Your videos could save someone’s life. That’s how important respectfully-told true crime stories are. Especially when it comes to partner homicide, it is easy to let your guard down when someone has been able to manipulate you for years, even after you’ve left them. This video in particular really spoke to me, and reminded me to stay vigilant. RIP Tricia Todd, your horrific tragedy may help other mamas🩷
Why was it so important for her to be erased? I saw this on another show and his own mother believed he did it without a second thought. She seemed sweet and sought out peace only to be killed by a monster.
Trisha was unresponsive but breathing….This is the exact moment we would all call 911 without hesitation, just the instinctual human reaction! There is only 1 reason someone doesn’t do that,…And it’s not panic, the reaction to panic is to seek help, again 911. It requires one to suppress the instinctual urge to call for help and act deliberately and clearly.
Whenever I see a new episode it makes my day so much better. Been sick this week and unable to get out of bed, so this helps to feel somewhat normal. Thank you so much
Those times are hard elise, I know I have been there. Sometimes its whatever gets you through that day. Good thoughts to you and prayers. Positive thoughts as well.
You don't aimlessly test into the Air Force by luck. Whatever happened in the marriage, he clearly wasn't happy and wanted nothing more to do with her. After the divorce, when he told his mother he wanted her to just go away and disappear, he had already began planning to make that happen.
I have not ever had the horrific displeasure of having to make a decision like this, so please don't take what I'm saying as anything deep BUT; It always pains me deeply when families choose to or feel they must offer a plea deal in order to locate remains. This case is a perfect example, why on Earth would you trust this person, who abused and murdered your loved one, to be honest about where he disposed of her? Now it's very possible he could get out, and the family can't possibly feel truly at peace with that.
First, groceries left out usually means the person came home from shopping and someone is lying in wait, because the door is unlocked and the person is distracted. Sociopaths can easily pass polygraphs.
I have zero sympathy for this monster, but this story makes me wonder: why don’t people ask for a lawyer the second the police sit them down? I haven’t killed anyone, nor will I. But if a cop ever had questions for me - boom - I’d ask for a lawyer.
This story makes me SICK in so many ways!!1) Stephen sounds like a 3 y.o. lying! From "I didn't think of calling 911" to instead of taking her back to her home takes her somewhere he doesn't know/ remember? Although he grew up there? I take that back! Even my 3y.o. knows to call 911!! 2) Tricia's dad saying Stephen was a good man- blah, blah, blah. He's forgiven him. Although in her diary he was becoming more abusive. (Not too mention they NEVER found ALL her body parts!) Good job looking the other way, 'DAD'. UGHHHH And Lastly 3) Stephen was in the Air Force? a)Don't they do testing & evaluations for MENTAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, INTELLIGENCE, etc.. anymore? b) They didn't bother investigating/charging him either, even though he was still ACTIVE? Well, no surprise there, just goes to show how far down our military haven fallen & CORRUPT become!! Ex. Vanessa Guillen, Ana Basalduaruiz -Fort Hood. (Hence why I'll NEVER LET my CHILDREN join & I come from a fam of military)! He should NEVER get out! 35yrs? It's a JOKE!😢
Even if she was (and I’m not implying she was) a shrieking, nagging, harridan he should never have murdered her. It is terrifying how many ex-wives/girlfriends are taken out by their former husbands/boyfriends.
The man who was just watching the turtle eggs tho 😭💜 We all should strive to be this man! Also Steve seemed resentful from the jump to me, talking about still owing her “after” all this etc.
Jiles thank you for the phone numbers at the end of your videos - You never know you may have or will save someone's life because they saw a helping person was only a phone call away and they did not have to search for it, this makes if way more likely that they dial the phone
Yesss he's been offering help line info since the beginning. Sadly youtube wanted to demonetize his videos just for his helpful endings. Very grateful he was able to find a way around this issue by just listing the info instead of reading aloud triggering the youtube gods. His PSA is a necessity. I believe this info helps people find their outlet from a shitty situations.
Steven's ridiculous "explanation" to the police in the interrogation room, is an *excellent* prime example of how the mind of so many psychopaths works. For the majority of "normal" rational members of society, *no one* (even if lying) would ever dream of embarrassing themselves by expecting *anybody,* let alone, an experienced detective, to believe that absolutely unrealistic, insane, account of the events of what happened to his ex-wife. It would be obvious to most people that not only would no one (including a jury) swallow a story like that, but even if someone was stupid enough to accept it just at face value, as soon as the police did even the most minute, basic, amount of investigating, that nearly everything he had claimed, had *provably* been a complete fabrication... *However,* Steven, being a narcissistic, Psychopath, believes that he is highly intelligent, and is able to make anyone, *even detectives, his wife's loved ones, and an entire court room,* believe anything he says. He has no shame, so embarrassment isn't something he has to consider when deciding whether or not to even use a fantastical story like the one he went on to swear to... And ultimately, being a psychopath, he has zero *empathy for others,* so lying to her family (and his own child who will grow up and have to hear what he had not only done to her mother but also hear the lies he told proceeding her mother's murder) is as easy as breathing to a monster like Steven.
As to the last paragraph- it's easy because they themselves don't have feelings, or at least not to the degree someone who isn't a sociopath has them. Any emotion you see is usually learned behavior- over the years, they've learned how to respond and sound sincere or "show" emotion so they seem normal. To many, it isn't even because they're trying to be shady or hide anything, it's to fit in, so people treat them normally. So it's easy to lie. You're not worried about making someone sad or devastating them because you have no idea how that feels. You just kind of take other people's word for what they say they feel. It's difficult to imagine if you're born feeling emotion like a "normal" person. They aren't denying the emotion or pushing it back- they genuinely may not know what it feels like. You can describe physical pain to people and even if a person has never had your particular injury, they can still kind of relate because they've felt pain before. But if you're born never feeling it, you have no idea how to imagine it. No frame or point of reference to even know where to begin. Of course, the person is still intelligent and knows murder is wrong and that it will affect others- I'm not trying to say they wouldn't. I have just always been interested in the psychology behind these things. It's difficult for most to even imagine being able to lie that easily but that's because we can't ever know what it's like to not feel emotion. Once you've felt it, you will always remember how it felt even if you're never happy or sad or angry or whatever to that degree again. But some really do have kind of blank spots where others would feel emotion. It's an odd concept but to find a way to fix the issue, or at least help them, we have to first understand the problem from the other point of view.
Or you know, he thought maybe something worse happened to her and he didn't, you know, TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL? God I've rarely seen such bad lying before, shit. I've seen five year olds lie better.
Although I watch all of the This is Monsters videos, Watching this video in particular has me really realizing and accepting how lucky I was to get away from my ex partner who was the same kind of psycho-narc!!!! You can see in his eyes and smirked expression in one of the shots they showed that he doesn't give a fk and has no conscience!! All about him!!!!! For those wondering why he didn't think bout the child, it's simple.... He doesn't give a fk about her either. If he thought he "needed" to get rid of her too, he absolutely would have!! People mean nothing to them!!!! Cudos on all your thorough research and presentations
After kicking her in the pregnant belly he should've been in jail. Then killing her 2 dogs he should've been in prison a second time and never released
He has eyes like a shark. Usually people who do evil things look just like everyone else, and I think it's silly when people say otherwise after the fact. But there really is a visible deadness in his eyes. I'd be creeped out by that mugshot if you told me it was for traffic fines.
I don’t even wanna say how a victim or their families should feel and I think forgiveness can be very powerful, even if only for their sake. However seeing how Tricia wrote that Stephen abused her, I don’t think he always “treated her well” and “was a gentleman” at all. It’d be one thing is she never had claimed abuse and this murder was out of no where and the dad said that. And yes he didn’t know until after the murder that she wrote he had abused her, but he now knows so claiming he was always a perfect gentleman (not just SEEMED like one) seems… not right.
This sums up my exact thoughts and feelings while listening to the father's impact statement, yeah. I hate to be like "You shouldn't forgive them" but... this guy is peak monster and his own daughter, in a completely private diary she never expected anyone to read, gave perfect evidence to the contrary of him being anything but an abusive slug of a human being. Wild, to me. If I were a parent and this happened to my kid I think I'd probably be hard pressed not to leap over the stand and take the husband's life myself, even though I am a very non-violent person.
. You have no idea what he is going through. He is her Dad he loved her more than anyone but the rest of her family. He's obviously a better person than you or I.
@@AshlynOneyour comment took the words out of my mouth.. everything you said, I thought. Knowing how he'd treated her, knowing what he'd done to her with the baby present, as a parent her dad's words left me literally speechless.

The fact that he strangled and killed two dogs- in her presence- says a whole lot about his true nature. If he was capable of killing before, albeit a pair of dogs and not a human being, then he could do it again!! The military should have charged him too.
I don't understand how anyone could even stay in contact with an animal killer. That's an immediate deal breaker
Once when I was speaking to my therapist in regards to concerns I had about my daughter's father and his emotionally abusive ways she said "please do not keep this to yourself. Share the things he says and do that worry you with your family or someone close. That way, should anything ever happen they won't be in the dark about who he really is". Steven Williams was a monster way before he did this. I just wish she had let her family know his true nature.
Me too 😢
A detective asking if you "think a jury will believe this" is an indicator that your interview isn't going well.
i dont get the "you must forgive" people. if some one murders, chops up, and buries my daughter in an acid bath they are beyond forgiveness.
Often people choose to forgive for their own well being because living with hate inside of you like that can be lethal.
In this case its like they did it immediately not after long soul searching. Boggles the mind.
@@bovinityleak2066theres forgiving, then there is forgetting. leave the monster behind in teh dark.
@@bovinityleak2066this is an old, tired talking point. You don't have to hate a person by not forgiving them. It's a righteous thing with The Most High to RECOMPENSE TRIBULATION TO THEM THAT TROUBLE YOU
I don't agree with the concept either...it's a heavily Christian indoctrination but I think its unnecessary. Everyone's path to healing is different.
Church says ul burn in hell if u don't FORGIVE. I stay home on Sundays
The kind, thoughtful person who Steven pretended to be was a mask. The monster he truly is has always lurked behind it, watching and hiding.
Exactly! And that makes for a truly scary and frightening!
Exactly
If your ex is killing dogs and abusing you, don't keep it a secret in your diary....
"the road was so dusty"🙄🙄
I've never wanted to high five someone in the face soo bad.
Such a pos.
RIP TRICIA.
Love the inclusion of interrogation footage. Was well done, and analysed a bit. Not just a massive chunk of interrogation footage dumped in a video and called new content.
@VanHelsing_ love your name
@@pumpthebrakes thanks!
But also, for those that would like to view the entire interrogation, Giles has kindly made it available.. such a quality channel 💯
I feel you on that. I hate when creators do that. Like, if I wanted to watch a full interrogation, I would.
That's why this channel is one of the best. He also uploaded the interrogation footage separately if they really wanted to watch it
You've got to be one of the hardest working true crime guys out there. Incredible content. Cant wait to binge on these 3.
What 3?
@@Theweezle12The other 2 new videos that came out today
How could someone do that to anyone, let alone their childhood friend?
I thought that she didn't ask for money from him?!!? This guy is a real piece of work.
I thrive on your witty sarcasm!Your knack for lightening up even the heaviest topics is like a superpower!
Oh my goodness this was gruesome and evil. Steven should not be alive in my opinion. Poor little Faith, her momma gone from her young, innocent life. Her dad is a true POS.
The woman's father, his father, the air force...why does everyone let this monster get by with this horrible crime? How could they have empathy?
They should have leveraged the death penalty or life in prison for her body and not 2nd Degree murder.
That story he made up was so ridiculous, credit to the cops for not loosing their minds on this case.
When Steven first talked to the detective in the interview saying that his ex wife was always nicer in person than on the phone, I knew right then that she was afraid of him and that he had beat her. I know because I was in a similar situation
His manipulative calm demeanor in the interrogation paints a disturbing picture of the level and types of abuse Tricia must have endured. Cluster B for sure
And for so long! It, honestly, makes me worry for her and how long she endured his mind games and abuse because they met so young. It's scary. I wonder if her family knew that he was like this with her? And did his family know?
His defense was that she Gone-Girl'd herself. 🙄
Love the narrator’s comments. They always mirror what I’m thinking 😆
What an absolute psychopath I feel so sorry for this poor woman who had watch him strangle her dogs. Ffs 😢
For a military guy, he's not that quick to come up with a story
As this story came to a conclusion and we found out exactly what this monster did, I felt sick. He not only murdered and desecrated, his ex-wife’s body, but he also killed someone he’s known since childhood. This truly is a sickening case. Thank you Jiles for the upload.
That ALWAYS bothers me MORE than a snapped situation,it’s a devilish, evil thing to do & continued to do ,to someone you’ve known for a long time 😞….✌🏻
I dated a military man once and he did the same to one of my pets. I stay as far away from them as possible now.
Thats wild
I was in the Army for 8 years, and my Husband just retired after 24 years. The military doesn't make people psychopaths. It just attracts them more so than other occupations. The lure of obtaining significant power over a lot of people attracts people who are pathological. It doesn't help that to obtain that rank and power, you have to be willing to throw everything and everyone under the bus and view people not as people but as assests and risks. The military structure actually favors this thought process.
Man! If somebody like him would go so far as murder an animal to prove a point who knows what he'd be capable of, very dangerous individual not to be trusted around other animals or children not even his own and to kick his wife in the stomach while she's pregnant with his child just crazy.
the way he tells those lies are so remorseless
…”I leave it the fuck alone” 😂😂😂
All Military personnel Know what to do in an emergency
This Guy is A Monster
He is disgusting
How could you kill the mother of your CHILD
THEY ARE SACRED
He will probably claim PTSD
No disrespect to People that suffer PTSD
Own your actions
Nuff Said
This guy is definitely a monster. that said, an old HS friend of mine was army for I think 8 years. He didnt know basic CPR. Granted, he spent most of his time in the military drunk is my understanding so maybe he just didnt pay attention but its not ALL military.
The monster part is definitely true but ain’t nothing about a baby momma being sacred!😂
@@idoitforfish4427They skurred.
Yeah.
@@idoitforfish4427I think they're just saying you shouldn't treat the mother of your child so abhorrently. you're essentially ruining your child's life by taking away both of their parents in this situation.
I can't understand how people think the only solution to a problem is to take the life of your loved ones. You have to be a savage monster to resort to killing another human being. R.I.P ✝️ 💐.
This man is such a horrible liar! He lost it, attacked her and murdered her. Then, cleaned up the scene and pretends like he is a savior by leaving her dead with her belongings. Meanwhile the truth is he murdered Tricia, dismembered her body, poured acid on her and ripped her teeth from her skull. What a POS! He didn’t deserve to be in Tricia’s life let alone have a child with Tricia. I hope there is prison justice taken out on this less then human psychopathic murderer. My God judge you Steven for the rest of eternity. May you never rest again and endlessly be tortured within your soul and body. The U.S. military absolutely should have prosecuted Steven and sentence to death since our U.S. court system failed Tricia by giving him a plea deal.
Preach!!!
If my man dared put his hands on my dog, I would end him.
Naw, I wouldn't consider them a monster. I feel the same way.
@@thisisMONSTERSMe, too.
Talk about avoiding and evading, this guy feels nothing... Unless you are a small drop of blood 😂
"You're a sharp kid, you know how 911 works right?" If that's the bar, America is in a lot more trouble than everyone thought
I’ve watched every single video you’ve made , you sir are the best at this , appreciate the grind bro
I loved the detective's sarcasam on Steven's story like " I'm gonna kill myself to set you up" the guy saw through his bs straight from the beginning
The fact that people think they can get away with things like this, boggles my mind.
About half of all murders go unsolved. That's a pretty good reason to think you can get away with it.
That's why if your gonna kill someone make sure it's a random person with zero connection to you.
Brilliant police work, why would the ex be a suspect, he seems so nice?. Apart from bashing her occasionally. And he passed the lie detector, a device so poorly supported by evidence you’d do a similar job by holding the subjects hands like Bob Di Nero in Meet the Parents. Finally how did they see through his entirely plausible story of yes I left her unconscious body out in the middle of nowhere with her phone just in case she came to I am after all, a compassionate man and I really care. I wouldn’t hurt a fly even if that fly was totally unreasonable in its demands for alimony.
I mean he could've gotten away with it if they didn't find the womans diary
@NickyBlue99 Good advice weirdo,u can still get caught if u have no connect to them geniuses 🙄
You've got to go back to the old opening. That creepy music then the silhouettes with the strange stances and red eyes was just creepy as hell. Set the tone perfectly.
What the hell is wrong with men/husbands that they really think killing their partners is the best choice?
Are they that stupid to think they'll actually get away with they're actions?
I don't get it now nor do I think I'll ever get it! I am baffled beyond words!
Tricia and Steven lived in my community, sat in front of me in church and she was a precious, loving dear friend!! He was never very talkative and didn't interact much at church. The last time I spent with Tricia was when she was packing up to head to Florida...she confided some infidelities to me but never appeared afraid he would harm her. She was not the kind of person to ":set up" anything as he was suggesting. All Tricia wanted was her daughter and to raise her happily in the faith that she held so dear. I understand a lot of people dont understand the forgiveness given by her family but to each his own....we all have different ways of coping.
He thought "how does this look" about his wife dead on his floor? What about how it looks that you take her body and some of her stuff and drop her off somewhere. What an idiotic ridiculous story. People are so unbelievable. I find it so difficult to understand how people think killing someone is the answer to anything!
So many of these cases over child custody totally baffle me. Do they never think of the children? That this is the child's other parent and what harm it will do to them? Maybe these people never watch crime shows to see that the murderer IS usually caught!
This probably won't come as a shock, but Steven is full of shit. Gotta love Jiles for saying what everyone, including the cops are thinking. Awesome video as usual Jiles, and thanks so much for putting these out and for the fantastic commentary.
A boyfriend of mine kick my dog when we were dating in highschool I broke up with him emediactly later to find out he killed his last girlfriend after me and was doing life 😢I important to read the sign of abuse
Poor child, no mother or father 😢
Your videos could save someone’s life. That’s how important respectfully-told true crime stories are. Especially when it comes to partner homicide, it is easy to let your guard down when someone has been able to manipulate you for years, even after you’ve left them. This video in particular really spoke to me, and reminded me to stay vigilant. RIP Tricia Todd, your horrific tragedy may help other mamas🩷
🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨✨
Oh Jiles, you must never stop uploading.
Why was it so important for her to be erased? I saw this on another show and his own mother believed he did it without a second thought. She seemed sweet and sought out peace only to be killed by a monster.
Dude there is nothing like getting up super early at 415am and having 2 shots of espresso and a dose of Monsters before starting your day!!!
This guy is infuriating. Well done detectives.
Trisha was unresponsive but breathing….This is the exact moment we would all call 911 without hesitation, just the instinctual human reaction! There is only 1 reason someone doesn’t do that,…And it’s not panic, the reaction to panic is to seek help, again 911. It requires one to suppress the instinctual urge to call for help and act deliberately and clearly.
Love your shows dude. Keep up the good work
Whenever I see a new episode it makes my day so much better. Been sick this week and unable to get out of bed, so this helps to feel somewhat normal. Thank you so much
Get well soon!
Feel better soon.
I hope you feel better soon! 💖
Feel better soon...🙏
Those times are hard elise, I know I have been there. Sometimes its whatever gets you through that day. Good thoughts to you and prayers. Positive thoughts as well.
Classic example of "If I can't have you, no one will. "
You don't aimlessly test into the Air Force by luck. Whatever happened in the marriage, he clearly wasn't happy and wanted nothing more to do with her. After the divorce, when he told his mother he wanted her to just go away and disappear, he had already began planning to make that happen.
What a hideous fate- having to contribute financially to your child's upbringing.
WHAT ELSE COULD HE DO.
Despicable.
I have not ever had the horrific displeasure of having to make a decision like this, so please don't take what I'm saying as anything deep BUT; It always pains me deeply when families choose to or feel they must offer a plea deal in order to locate remains. This case is a perfect example, why on Earth would you trust this person, who abused and murdered your loved one, to be honest about where he disposed of her? Now it's very possible he could get out, and the family can't possibly feel truly at peace with that.
These family members are gross and crazy. I don’t care how you treated other men, he murdered, dismembered, and scattered another human.
First, groceries left out usually means the person came home from shopping and someone is lying in wait, because the door is unlocked and the person is distracted. Sociopaths can easily pass polygraphs.
I love this channel one of the best on RUclips period.
THIS IS MONSTERS!!!
I have zero sympathy for this monster, but this story makes me wonder: why don’t people ask for a lawyer the second the police sit them down? I haven’t killed anyone, nor will I. But if a cop ever had questions for me - boom - I’d ask for a lawyer.
Shows you how narcissistic this guy is. Narcs always think they're smarter than anybody around them.
This story makes me SICK in so many ways!!1) Stephen sounds like a 3 y.o. lying! From "I didn't think of calling 911" to instead of taking her back to her home takes her somewhere he doesn't know/ remember? Although he grew up there?
I take that back! Even my 3y.o. knows to call 911!!
2) Tricia's dad saying Stephen was a good man- blah, blah, blah. He's forgiven him. Although in her diary he was becoming more abusive. (Not too mention they NEVER found ALL her body parts!) Good job looking the other way, 'DAD'. UGHHHH
And Lastly
3) Stephen was in the Air Force?
a)Don't they do testing & evaluations for MENTAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, INTELLIGENCE, etc.. anymore?
b) They didn't bother investigating/charging him either, even though he was still ACTIVE?
Well, no surprise there, just goes to show how far down our military haven fallen & CORRUPT become!!
Ex. Vanessa Guillen, Ana Basalduaruiz -Fort Hood.
(Hence why I'll NEVER LET my CHILDREN join & I come from a fam of military)!
He should NEVER get out! 35yrs? It's a JOKE!😢
"What the actual fuck are your talking about?!" 😂😂😂 I laughed out loud.
I kept thinking...Just wait til the USAF prosecutes!!! And, then...they DON'T!???? WTAF!???? 😡😡😡💔
Excellent job as always, Jiles! ❤
"I was hoping she would be alright", like maybe it was some kind of spell. Absolutely painful watching thos guy squirm lol
You might forget where you left your keys, misplace a phone, or remote... nobody human never forgets where they left a body!
I loved the monsters logo in the interrogation room!
Even if she was (and I’m not implying she was) a shrieking, nagging, harridan he should never have murdered her. It is terrifying how many ex-wives/girlfriends are taken out by their former husbands/boyfriends.
And often, not always, men with nagging wives are lazy AF who need to be instructed to do basic things.
Femicide is really bad right now.
The man who was just watching the turtle eggs tho 😭💜 We all should strive to be this man! Also Steve seemed resentful from the jump to me, talking about still owing her “after” all this etc.
Jiles thank you for the phone numbers at the end of your videos - You never know you may have or will save someone's life because they saw a helping person was only a phone call away and they did not have to search for it, this makes if way more likely that they dial the phone
Yesss he's been offering help line info since the beginning. Sadly youtube wanted to demonetize his videos just for his helpful endings. Very grateful he was able to find a way around this issue by just listing the info instead of reading aloud triggering the youtube gods. His PSA is a necessity. I believe this info helps people find their outlet from a shitty situations.
Thank you for the info about this@@abz_414 I do believe it helps too, hopefully more than I think. Have a great week. Peace & Respect from Ontario
A person claiming frenzily " I don't know ! " in every sentence KNOWS.
Thank you for the factual audio,
Your tone is great .
Steven's ridiculous "explanation" to the police in the interrogation room, is an *excellent* prime example of how the mind of so many psychopaths works.
For the majority of "normal" rational members of society, *no one* (even if lying) would ever dream of embarrassing themselves by expecting *anybody,* let alone, an experienced detective, to believe that absolutely unrealistic, insane, account of the events of what happened to his ex-wife. It would be obvious to most people that not only would no one (including a jury) swallow a story like that, but even if someone was stupid enough to accept it just at face value, as soon as the police did even the most minute, basic, amount of investigating, that nearly everything he had claimed, had *provably* been a complete fabrication...
*However,* Steven, being a narcissistic, Psychopath, believes that he is highly intelligent, and is able to make anyone, *even detectives, his wife's loved ones, and an entire court room,* believe anything he says.
He has no shame, so embarrassment isn't something he has to consider when deciding whether or not to even use a fantastical story like the one he went on to swear to...
And ultimately, being a psychopath, he has zero *empathy for others,* so lying to her family (and his own child who will grow up and have to hear what he had not only done to her mother but also hear the lies he told proceeding her mother's murder) is as easy as breathing to a monster like Steven.
As to the last paragraph- it's easy because they themselves don't have feelings, or at least not to the degree someone who isn't a sociopath has them. Any emotion you see is usually learned behavior- over the years, they've learned how to respond and sound sincere or "show" emotion so they seem normal. To many, it isn't even because they're trying to be shady or hide anything, it's to fit in, so people treat them normally. So it's easy to lie. You're not worried about making someone sad or devastating them because you have no idea how that feels. You just kind of take other people's word for what they say they feel. It's difficult to imagine if you're born feeling emotion like a "normal" person. They aren't denying the emotion or pushing it back- they genuinely may not know what it feels like. You can describe physical pain to people and even if a person has never had your particular injury, they can still kind of relate because they've felt pain before. But if you're born never feeling it, you have no idea how to imagine it. No frame or point of reference to even know where to begin.
Of course, the person is still intelligent and knows murder is wrong and that it will affect others- I'm not trying to say they wouldn't. I have just always been interested in the psychology behind these things. It's difficult for most to even imagine being able to lie that easily but that's because we can't ever know what it's like to not feel emotion. Once you've felt it, you will always remember how it felt even if you're never happy or sad or angry or whatever to that degree again. But some really do have kind of blank spots where others would feel emotion. It's an odd concept but to find a way to fix the issue, or at least help them, we have to first understand the problem from the other point of view.
Absolutely Zero conscience!!!!
100000% yes
All that planning and he couldnt come up with a better story. Guess all he thought of was the vengeance part. No surprise.
Freakin yes
Great job that they stopped him from taking the little girl
Or you know, he thought maybe something worse happened to her and he didn't, you know, TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL? God I've rarely seen such bad lying before, shit. I've seen five year olds lie better.
The interrogation is a must watch, crazy how he played the detective, they made a deal with the devil.
Although I watch all of the This is Monsters videos, Watching this video in particular has me really realizing and accepting how lucky I was to get away from my ex partner who was the same kind of psycho-narc!!!!
You can see in his eyes and smirked expression in one of the shots they showed that he doesn't give a fk and has no conscience!! All about him!!!!! For those wondering why he didn't think bout the child, it's simple.... He doesn't give a fk about her either. If he thought he "needed" to get rid of her too, he absolutely would have!! People mean nothing to them!!!!
Cudos on all your thorough research and presentations
After kicking her in the pregnant belly he should've been in jail. Then killing her 2 dogs he should've been in prison a second time and never released
He has eyes like a shark. Usually people who do evil things look just like everyone else, and I think it's silly when people say otherwise after the fact. But there really is a visible deadness in his eyes. I'd be creeped out by that mugshot if you told me it was for traffic fines.
I see it too. It’s always in the eyes.
I don’t even wanna say how a victim or their families should feel and I think forgiveness can be very powerful, even if only for their sake. However seeing how Tricia wrote that Stephen abused her, I don’t think he always “treated her well” and “was a gentleman” at all. It’d be one thing is she never had claimed abuse and this murder was out of no where and the dad said that. And yes he didn’t know until after the murder that she wrote he had abused her, but he now knows so claiming he was always a perfect gentleman (not just SEEMED like one) seems… not right.
This sums up my exact thoughts and feelings while listening to the father's impact statement, yeah. I hate to be like "You shouldn't forgive them" but... this guy is peak monster and his own daughter, in a completely private diary she never expected anyone to read, gave perfect evidence to the contrary of him being anything but an abusive slug of a human being.
Wild, to me. If I were a parent and this happened to my kid I think I'd probably be hard pressed not to leap over the stand and take the husband's life myself, even though I am a very non-violent person.
. You have no idea what he is going through. He is her Dad he loved her more than anyone but the rest of her family. He's obviously a better person than you or I.
My thoughts exactly. The reaction from both fathers left me feeling cold. A couple of abuser sympathizers... I wonder why?
@@AshlynOneyour comment took the words out of my mouth.. everything you said, I thought. Knowing how he'd treated her, knowing what he'd done to her with the baby present, as a parent her dad's words left me literally speechless.
@@primesspct2How do you know he's better...? Because he calls his daughters abuser and killer a gentleman and stand up guy?!
@thisismonsters. I love your channel you have a beautiful speaking voice so I don’t even have to watch the screen I can listen to your stories. It was/is really lovely to see the man behind the voice thank you for your hard work and fantastic storytelling x
He doesn't even believe his own lies his voice is all the confirmation I need
35 years is so light! thats insane
Wolf in sheep's clothing. Shame on the U.S. Airforce for doing nothing about this monster. This is hands down the BEST true crime youtube channel. The detail, work and time put in to tell these stories is second to none. Thank you for the dedication. 🇨🇦
What would you have liked them to do?
@emmamaloney5662 Um, prosecute him? Did you watch the video? They did zilch, zip, zero.
Imagine hearing from everybody that’s this guy wasn’t like this. Now imagine what type of situation would make him do this. Exactly. That poor guy.
Those interrogators have some serious stamina. I would have been exhausted after having to go around and around with this man-child for hours. His strategy of talk-over-the-words-he didn’t-want-to-hear was SUPER annoying. It was a relief to see them finally crack his egg
Hey fellow Aussie Monster Squad.....you know what time it is.
