It’s a huge insult to the mother that her children still support their father. He cheated on his wife, stole money from his employer, and tried to have his wife murdered. How much more proof do they need that the father is a monster?
The daughter who talks non-stop in the Dateline video is obviously on something. She's high as a kite.
They didn’t want his money to stop coming to them. Yeah she does look like she’s tweaking.
@@pennybyrd1058 No it's just her personality - some come off as over the top.
Her daughters looked like idiots on dateline just horrible
aint that the damn truth. I did not understand after all their mother had been through that those so called daughters were not supporting her. Damn shame.
Can you imagine the low self esteem that makes her think he's the best option. So sad
All her children believe him and were angry at her, they stood behind him in court that wasn't mentioned here. When you got family friends and all your children believing he didn't do it you tend to question if they are right. Thankfully she came to her senses and moved on with her life.
@@roguechevelleoh my god. Poor woman. 😢
She didn't really want Frank back. She wanted her memories of the good times to be real and not based on deceit and lies.
some people live in their memories, not reality.
Agree. She wanted Pretend Frank back. He is probably a sociopath.
@@eclecticvicki8376 he gotta admit and confess his obvious indiscretions. Or he gonna burn in hell. And i dont wish that on anybody im not judging just saying what is biblical. Admit what u did to your daughter's at least. B4 its to late. .
WHEN YOU DIVORCE PEOPLE CHOOSE SIDED AND YOU LOOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY
The part about this case that bothers me the absolute most is that his 3 children still believe he is innocent! What a betrayal to the woman who gave them life!
Yes, his children are just as disgusting as he is!
Probably the money. It's something off about the oldest daughter
@@goodpeopleprosper635Is the oldest daughter the one who talked the most in the interview? If so, she came across as a complete ditz.
Agree
The older daughter came across as being in total denial of her father’s actions. Her responses were so off the mark..
If my husband tried that hard to kill me, I don't think I'd have the emotional stamina to ever be in a relationship again.
I know. It’s bad enough knowing someone doesn’t want you but if they want you dead that’s a bit of a kick to the gut. I’d stay single.
And even good relationships take a boat load of emotional stamina!
or she wanted him home so she could "return the favor"
@@adotintheshark4848 "Keep your friends close and, your enemies closer."
I absolutely cannot believe these daughters are that stupid when there is absolute straight up evidence that he hired these people to kill his wife wake up and try to support ur mother how stupid are there girls
Reconciliation with a person who tried to murder her and left her permanently disabled is totally crazy.
And fits perfectly with everything else that happens in this story.
It's probably hard to think straight after a bullet goes through your brain.
He's got to go to sleep sometime 😮😂😂😂😂😂
@@rmooregmeth ADDICTS
He husband must be a smooth talker
It would have been a lot cheaper to have paid a divorce settlement than to have continued to pay "hit men", the mind boggles!!!
Lol over 2 million he got be rich haha tacos bag omfg 🤬 she hurt !!!
I hate to say it but if he was so bored with his marriage it would have been cheaper and easier to just hire hookers.
Probably not - half of everything is a lot of money when you're rich.
@@griegomas he wasn't rich though, he was embezzling money from his employer...
@@Elleffe yeah it's true, ill gotten gains - an even better reason not to get divorced. Splitting assets would reveal the issue
I may never get tired of Dr. Grande's "mostly because of the murder part" comments.
Frank Howard perfectly illustrates that human depravity and stupidity are limitless. In his case, they both occurred in the same person.
I wish I could sit down with Dr Grande, give him my life story and have him speculate what’s going on within me.
I’ll wait in line behind you
Just go to college and major in Psychology to learn what’s wrong with you, that’s what other crazy people do.
@@Big_Tex thx big tex.
I would be on the floor if I got dragged by Dr. Grande
Same bro, same!!
I have never heard of such a bizarre case in my life, to spend so much money to do away with your wife!! Nancy must be “ Nuts “ to consider having the man back in her life who was desperate to get rid of her. It boggles my mind actually! Thanks Dr Grande.
There is a case similar. A woman left her bf and got into a relationship with a good guy. The ex bf came back and shot both her and the new bf. New bf died, she lived. He was going through the court case for this, out on bond. She MARRIED the psycho bf and he did kill her a couple of weeks later. I forget the names but its a recent case.
Do you think this is a victim mentality? Like they are so used to violence that they can’t see a way out of it?
@@MoncheriRousnah bro they are just crazy
@@claricelyles8398🤯🤯🤯
@@MoncheriRousTrauma and ptsd for sure
Imagine if someone proposed this as fiction, you'd say the whole thing was laughably implausible.
Michael Lee Lorence, 46, was arrested following a Hemet Police Department investigation into the death of Melanie Conroy, 47. In California in 2022.
Yes a bad plot for a novel indeed
It reminds me of the movie Fargo.
@@pwallace5359 Good call! It would have to be played out as a farce
Women get back with abusers everyday
It is totally insane that this woman almost lost her life and yet was willing to forgive he ex because of the so-called wonderful man she knew during her marriage and in totally denial of a monster he is.
I think a divorce would have been a lot cheaper than hiring and trusting a string of criminals.
He was stealing the funds 😂
He didn’t care about money (he stole it anyway) but he was concerned about looking good to others. Typical narcissist
How her kids r in denial n stood by her dad the murderer was do heartbreaking. This woman lost her family. I feel so terrible for her
Sounds like they were just like their father so really not much to lose IMO.
Michael Speck was sentenced to 12 years for aggravated assault in this case. He ratted out the shooter, but received more time. His mother was my ex sister-in-law!
The cactus candles are a nice touch. This case really seemed like a bad movie plot-a combination of drama and slapstick, right up until the point Nancy got shot. I’m glad she was able to move on with her life. Thanks for covering this Dr. Grande.
Seems like a case for the Coen brothers or Wes Anderson
@@shethingsd
💯👍😆
@noway-uf7peit is actually cactus.
I have so many concerns about this case.
1. Exactly how expensive is divorce in their state that this man would continue to pay for this murder?
2. How stupid is Frank?
3. It's alarming to me that police departments, even in the United States would rather a victim than prevent a crime from happening 😞
Exactly what I thought
I guessing the meth heads started threatening to talk if he didn’t pay more money! Or maybe since it wasn’t his money to begin with he didn’t care how much he spent!
If there's no victim there's no crime.
You’ve hit the nail on the head with #3!!! & then when there actually IS a crime they often couldn’t care less about doing due diligence unless there’s some external pressure on them, like from public scrutiny if the situation makes the news cycle for example. The pigs- oops(!) I meant police seem to always find excuses for not investigating as they should, especially if it’s a missing person who is 18+ or even a teenager as they are always labeled as a runaway, that is until their body shows up & it turns out they’d only recently been killed & if the police had done their jobs then the death could have been avoided. Sorry- I’m bitter.
Well Jasmin, I'm thinking...
1. Less than the cost of repeatedly paying the cost of a murder along with the cost of multiple bail amounts.
2. Stupid enough not to realize that ppl that repeatedly get arrested will snitch him out for trying to kill his wife for a lesser punishment in their current cases and he will have provided proof of their story by signing his name on the bond papers with receipt for payment. It establishes a connection between him and the hit men and also raises the question of why is a millionaire repeatedly bonding out broke dope heads.
3. Cops don't believe broke dope heads. They prob figured they were making it all up in an attempt to score a plea deal in exchange for snitching on Frank's murder conspiracy. Meth heads come up with all kinds of stores that never happened.
However, the police should always investigate a claim like that regardless of who it comes from just in case.
Also, meth heads know everything about everybody in the streets so even if they lied about him offering to specifically pay Them to do this job, it's highly likely that they did actually hear a story in the streets about him offering someone money to kill his wife. You never can tell for sure or not but if police were doing the job they're getting paid for then that requires them to look into any information brought to their attention. They had a responsibility to make sure she was safe, just in case but instead chose to disregard their statement. Luckily she didn't die as a result.
There's evidently no intelligent players anywhere in this tale.
Can't imagine what that community must be like 😂
Too bad that the police didn’t investigate earlier. They had a guy in custody who was dumb enough to admit that he was attempting to be a hired hit man. They had an even dumber perpetrator in the husband. They could have had him wear a wire. Better safe than sorry in these cases.
Seriously, tells cops he's a murderer and they're like "whatever" 🤡
and the police were even dumber to disregard the admission.
They don't care clearly
It must have been horrible for Nancy to believe things that were not true with the person you trusted and shared so many memories. Glad to hear that Nancy could move on.
Frank is a great manipulator
Everyone in this story is wacky from bumbling criminals, to homicidal husband, to desperate & delusional wife. Great points esp about infidelity. Thanks Dr G😊💚💚
Couldn't say it better 😂😂
@@josettewahura Thanks! 😁👍
Don't forget the police. They too sucked.
@@M-qw9ru Yes very funny & strange. How the husband had that much $ to blow too with no results is quite bizarre too🤯💸It was almost like a comedy.
Yeah, sounds like a Coen Brothers movie
This story is like the screenplay of a Cohen Brothers movie .Hilariously absurd and populated with clueless characters, This proves that truth is stranger than fiction, and often much funnier! Thanks, Doc another great, speculation on possibilities that may be involved in the development of this non-diagnosis.
True! Reminds me blood simple
Or Fargo.
@@CynthiaMiller-px9ybRight. Like “Fargo”. This story has all of the elements. Kooky, inept would-be hit men, dufus spouse, plot gone wrong.Everything but the accent. Oh wait- they prob had Texas accents.
@@CynthiaMiller-px9yb
Both "Fargo" and "Blood Simple" ARE Cohen Brothers movies.
Not certain what was funny about this but some people will laugh at anything, I suppose.
sad his kids actually believe he is innocent, they just can't fathom it but they are blinded by that, the facts are immense here.
Dude, you include a completely hilarious droll zinger in every episode. Hats off. I love busting out laughing while listening to true crime. ( also hat's off to motivation analysis. That is the crux, period.
Despite of the devastation I felt while listening to the story I giggled every time you were saying he was paying more and more to the drugheads and probably feeling the perfect mastermind this world saw. The dellusion. 😅
But seriously, it is terrifying how someone can be married half of their life and still get killed by the spouse.
Well evil works in mysterious ways and he was overcome with evil and greed but then being this Christian lady named Nancy God saw a true angel in this woman and saved her.
I just saw the whole episode on T. V . It was 2 hours long and a lot of trickery which comes from ppl that are drug users , and then bring money in da millions from Iraqi in dead body's which Billie was involved he was out to get his buddy in crime , but you see he was doing it over winning his freedom so there Alot to this incredible story .. See the T. V documentary is best to understand it better .
Award should be given to commentator for keeping a straight face throughout
If he was grandiose, entitled, etc., it sounds like he's a narcissist or maybe even sociopath with the ability to lead a double life. I saw this case on Dateline. It struck me how not only did the kids not believe their dad did this (and the stolen $), but they snubbed their mother. I can't imagine the pain and betrayal she must have felt. Nott only did her husband try to kill her with stolen money (for years), but also her own kids didn't support her. 😢 . It's really tragic.
Kids are overrated. So are love, romance, relationships and marriage.
"I imagine that would be an awkward reunion, mostly because of the attempted murder part."😂
I don't know how one can go back to the person who attempted murder. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets offed by him for a second time.
Is anyone actually watching the vid? She's divorced from him and remarried now. She only considered it likely because all of her children believed their father and blamed her their mother for him going to prison, this was not mentioned here as this detail was left out but when you've got all your family friends and your children believing him telling you he didn't do it you start to think they could be right. She eventually came to her senses.
You can't off someone but once 😂❤.
@@KoolTspeak for yourself!!
I think he will try again or maybe payback is a bitch.
Many victims of dv experience Stockholm syndrome. Society, family, friends also has a way of guilt tripping the victim for tearing apart families or ruining that persons life by alerting authorities. Many ppl will even begin to look at the victim as heartless, vindictive or problematic. Plus I’m sure they also had good times throughout their marriage. Abuse is very complex & I feel like your mind slowly starts to deteriorate
I believe the greater majority of us went to school. We learnt right from wrong, ABC, how to cross a road, stranger danger, don't fight, and learn to help each other. Some of those things drifted away in secondary ed and probably more at University. The one class i never recall attending, in all those years, is its ok to murder your spouse. I truly, honestly, just don't get it, and frankly, im glad i can't understand it. Thanks Dr Grande. ❤️
Learned not learnt. 🙄 You obviously have not learned that yet.
@@gasmith7486In the U.K., Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand it’s “learnt” not “learned” like it is here in the U.S. and Canada. They also say “smelt” not “smelled.” They don’t drop the “E” before adding “ING” either. They spell “Aging” as “Ageing” and “Color” as “Colour.” Google is your friend.
So true Dr. Grande! I do feel very sorry for Nancy. I believe she was really in a state of shock. However, this case is truly a “Carnival of Idiots“! I’m happy to hear that Nancy has remarried and moved on.
She is my step grandma now (she married my grandpa) and she is so amazing and so strong! Me and my siblings love hearing her story and love her too!
Am I the only one who is so happy the fake hit men squeezed every dime from him. 😂😂😂 well done.
How in this world can those daughters say on national tv just how blind they are and not stand by ur mom that got shot in the head, and sorry girls hes out of appeals so support him all u want!!!!
Wow. The kiddos don’t realize they had been replaced too. That one just wants to inherit from a lying, cheating, thieving murderer
Thanks for the upload before the hockey game, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humor and dry sarcasm.
I've watched almost all of RUclips's crime docs, and this case has the most oddities by far.
If Frank had gotten tired of paying the would-be killers and went to someone else, Nancy might have died, and FRANK might have gotten away with all of this. Also, the oldest daughter is clearly bright - just goes to show you how STRONG the defense mechanism of denial is... adamant that her father could not be behind this despite the evidence. Imagine going through all of this AND having to see your children standing with the perpetrator. Nancy deserves to live the rest of her life in peace and happiness.
These two daughters are aweful standing behind someone that paid to have there mother killed how stupid can these girls b they set on there fathers side in court how awful is that not standing behind there mother rotten kids!!
He took all this time and money to have her killed and didn't think "honestly, we could just get a divorce 🤷♀️" this man is a coward.
He’s not concerned about money. His concern is looking good to others. He’s got a lot of brainwashed people in his corner.
How does a company bit notice millions of dollars missing only until after he gets arrested 🤦🏻♀️…..
Your final thoughts on infidelity being like a powerful drug are clear and true. People's motivations for going into affairs go way beyond the sexual, I think it's more often a delusional plan to "have it all" and escape the present, unfulfilling life. The affair must seem like the solution to all of a cheater's problems. (Spoiler alert for cheaters: it isn't).
So insightful.
There is a pro adulterly reddit where they all share on challenges with lifestyle, like missing their AP (affair partner)
Love and stupidity go hand in hand 😂great comparisons ! Love your sense of humor! Sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity 🥰
The whole thing is so amazing. The monster husband was stupid beyond belief! I am glad the poor woman pulled herself together and broke free. Thank you for the video.
Those girls should be ashamed of themselves. What they are doing to their mother is deplorable.
Hey Doc. Any chance you could do a video about the "Garden Gnome Massacre", in Florida twenty years ago, when three elderly Floridians were found murdered, and one cop -- *only one* -- discovered that the "garden gnomes" in their front yard were all in *slightly different positions* than before the murders! This poor guy lost his job because of this -- no one wanted to believe that garden gnomes could come to life and murder their owners -- but he once had a friend who was into black magic, and he knew what a spell could occasionally do. A few days after he was fired, he disappeared forever. And so did the gnomes.
So if you could do a video about it, that would be really cool. Thanks!!
Wow, that is a crazy story. I'd like to hear more about it.
I'm sorry. What?????
😂😂
Troll city
😮
Hi, Dr. Grande. I love your content. Can you please look into the death of singer Sam Cooke?
I knew the dating pool was a bit shallow, but is it bad enough to get back into a relationship with the man who tried to have you murdered?😟
Frank was really deranged. Evil is among us!
Cactus candle heck yea
Forgiveness is one thing, reconciliation is another.
13:17 - I understand why you say "aggressiveness" instead of _aggression_ sometimes, but surely in this instance "malice" is more appropriate than _maliciousness..._
Yikes. Frank might be a Narcissist, just not a smart one.
I’m glad Nancy was able to see him for who he really was and that she is doing well now. ❤
Dear Dr G, a brillant analysis of a sticky situation. Clearly one where proposed crime paid handsomely for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of drugs and things. The murder proposer and funder ended up doing a long stint in jail where his rose colored glasses in relation to criminals keeing their word are bound to be shattered. Fantasaticly well done. Cheers from downunderer.
UPDATE-- Michael Lee Lorence, 46, was arrested following a Hemet Police Department investigation into the death of Melanie Conroy, 47. In California in 2022.
well said statements about cheaters. they really want the cake and to eat it too, but they also want to seem like a good person who doesn't eat cake until the absolute bitter end. sometimes even after the end, lying about the reason for ending the relationship. cowardly behavior, this dude would rather have killed her than admit to being a POS & ending their relationship or even just lying. 🚮
UPDATE!!!!!!!!
Hey guys this is my step grandma now! I'm so happy to say that she found my Grandpa and they fell in love! She lives next my family! We love her very much and we call her Nan! We love her story and she is so strong. Thank you for this video and putting effort into my grandmas story. Thank you everyone for commenting and praying for her.
There's an old saying that goes "A fool and his money are soon parted". Frank Howard is the epitome of this kind of fool.
There's another saying that goes "There's no fool like an old fool". Frank fits this description as well. Thinking with the wrong head will never lead men toward the outcome they may want or expect.
Great analysis, Dr. Grande👍
Here’s one for you. My aunt and uncle were separated for a while due to an affair, but reconciled years ago. As they began to fail from age, he tried to convince her that his former lover could live with them and take care of them. The former lover had taken a lot of money from him and always was asking for more, even after the affair ended. I told my aunt she would end up at the bottom of a well if she allowed it. She reluctantly followed my advice.
Is this really "true" - could never even be considered for a "movie plot" - too strange
14:51 + 15:01 ✅💯
Thanks for this overview Dr. Grande. Excellent evaluation.
I'm just sitting here shaking my head.
"He would murder his brain with methamphetamine instead of murdering Frank's wife" Always delivering wirh the jokes 😂 I swear just when I think I've seen the dumbest criminals out there, another case tops the last. Pre-paying a known drug addict for any reason, is ill advised. Thank God his plans fell apart, for the most part, and she survived. What a strange, sad, sensless act. Thank you for another great analysis, Dr Grande!!! ❤
Wow! 🤪 Just when you think you've heard it all... Dr. Grande brings this to the table
This is a theme that has surfaced quite a few times in your vids Doc. Whether the husband or wife, attempts to murder the other; plan fails then the victim stays?!!
Can't wrap my head around it.
Are they all desperados?
"How NOT to Kill a Wife and Other Improbable Shenanigans". Dr. Grande never disappoints. Nancy's (very likely) low self esteem for a number of reasons - cognitive dissonance, financial ignorance within the marriage, naivete, etc is not entirely unexpected, but still pitiable. I am glad that she was able to move on. Wish her the best.
We appreciate your insights, Dr Grande. We will always support you no matter what.
Maybe divorce would have been little cheaper.
Not these days. Those stay at home women have got plenty of time on their hands to screw a guy out of all of his life’s work and earnings. Best advice, don’t get married.
Dr. Grande! Thanks for sharing. There are some true scumbags within this story, not to mention very unintelligent people making stupid decisions... like Frank and Billie, for example. Lol.
Why can’t people lower expectations and live a simple life? Just get a cat or dog.
@@M-qw9ru🎯
That's what I did decades ago. So peaceful 😻 except for all that meowing & litter box refills.
Some people really believe and want a shot at "love". So if they are in a bad marriage and they meet someone new they might test the water to see if the new person is all it's cracked up to be. Eventually reality sets in. That's why I think people have affairs for the most part. But people would never fool around if they were happy in their marriage.
@@dubaiedge ❤ this is a ME TOO moment ❤
What an unusual case! Its amazing how she “escaped” murder so many times.
Thank you for the review, Dr. Grande.❤
Some people are simply beyond redemption in their naiveté. Or stupidity.
Hello, Dr. Grande! I hope you're enjoying your night! Thank You!
At what point would you not just divorce your wife, even if there was life insurance after he blew through all of that money he’d be breaking even, this is such a bizarre case
Hi Dr. Grande, good morning. Excellent analysis. As always I learn something new from your videos.
Love the castus candles
What a title! Reading that you know you're in for a doozy! 🙃
Hello Dr.,
It is really something that he told the police he was a hired hit man. That is a major fumble on the police.
Also, could you analyze the case of :
Alya Reynolds
or Dennis Dechaine
All Maine cases.
Thank you for the great videos.

12:20 love that you still do it
The evidence was overwhelming, the wife finally came to her senses after being shot in the head and learning her husband was in love and with another woman for 3 years. And he embezzled millions, yet the 2 stupid daughters stood behind their father, and not their poor mother.
How many days has it been without a Sammy the Bull video??
I used to live near Carrollton, TX, about It eighteen years ago, in my early twenties!

Human behaviour does continue to baffle. But thanks, as always, Dr. Grande.
You used the word "Nefarious" correctly. Bravo!
Excellent analysis.
My cousin's husband hired a hitman. Luckily, it was turned over to the cops. Her husband was arrested, and they divorced. Before the trial started, they got remarried, and she testified for him! He was found guilty and spent several years in prison. That was in 1999, and they are still married today! The family has nothing to do with them now.
Also this is a laughable statement, however true (that the wife remarried the bad husband)
@@rickmcdowell9550 Thomas Mason Colorado 1999. Look it up if you'd like.
Interesting story, thank you.
You should do a case analysis on the Noida Double Murder. Since the charges were dropped against the parents, I would love to hear your opinion
Dumb & dumber. Makes me wonder how much sociopathy is heritable. What a heartbreak about her kids. And losing her eye.
Her kids turned out to be jerks too, and abandoned her
Really? I wonder why.
Beating someone to death with a baseball bat at a preschool does not sound like the kind of thing that would be classified as an accidental death.
A laughable statement! Also true.
Frank Howard use to be my CPA where I worked. I personally for many years. I was shocked when I heard what happened. He did seem like a real nice guy.
Neither Frank/John nor Nancy seems too bright.
Yes! yes, yes! Hey, if you are liked, you can do anything. What a screwed up hypocritical family. She was twisted around the little fingers of the hypocrite daughters who liked their father more than their mother. It all boils down to that. I don't know: Do you really feel such a deep pity for a woman who doesn't appear to value her own life? Yes, such deep betrayal takes a moment or two to fully grasp & believe. That is true. It was a devastating blow both physically & mentally. But there comes a time, you must quickly realize what is going on--especially with something so deadly serious. I would never have done that to my mother. My mother would never have annulled herself like that. Never in a million years. She was in an abusive marriage & it was horrible due to many circumstances. She got out of it with ten cents in her pocket, got a fabulous job thanks to a rich neighbor who knew someone & soon enough regained her natural self esteme which was never ever lost completely.
I saw a rerun on a crime tv show this weekend. I coudn't believe all the family nonsense even stronger the second time around than the first. Gee, I hope there are not many women around who feel like nobodies. Scary but true.
Frank doesn’t know how good he had it! My ex wife won’t even talk to me and I did nothing wrong. She would have taken him back? Weird people in a weird world.
No at first she was questioning if he did it, but she would absolutely not take him back when she saw the evidence against him- that’s not true

This story reminds me of the movie Fargo.
Surely a divorce would've been much cheaper.
