The rocking is a self-soothing technique. He’s having a very clear anxiety attack. He’s worried and scared. He’s not being slick or greasy. The laughter isn’t gleeful. I laugh like that too when I’m having anxiety or super uncomfortable. I feel like everyone has Chris Watts glasses on instead of remembering that real people have real emotions and not every man is out here annihilating their families.
Also I just want to add that abuse is never okay. I really hope that he gets the help for that that he needs and deserves and never abuses another person again. And I hope that Heidi’s babies are safe and happy. My heart breaks for everyone involved.
I am autistic. Very very late diagnosed at age 40 and I'm 42 now and I'm still learning. But his inability to make eye contact all that stuff it could just have been anxiety and the situation I can't imagine I just cannot imagine. But no I did not see Chris Watts vibes at all. Chris Watts was smiling the whole time and making a defensive I suppose soothing but I don't think he needed to self soothe honestly I think he was just crossing his arms and closing himself off because this was not necessary for him you know he did not need to be having these interviews he did not want to be doing these things he wanted it done and over with he didn't want to deal with it anymore. This guy was different. And I'm not saying he is autistic I'm not saying that at all I'm just saying I can see some tendencies that makes sense to me because I see it in my son he was is also autistic. I do find a way to lighten things to make them palatable I think with humor sometimes not necessarily humor but to be able to laugh to bring yourself back to something that's comfortable something that makes sense to you when nothing else is making sense
That's what I think too that part is on for me at the moment. The red eyes and painful laughing he's messed up for real about it not like he's hiding anything imo
Absolutely agree. He even has an uncomfortable laugh when talking about the whole situation with Megan after. Some people, like myself even, do this. I’m also shy and don’t make eye contact well, and don’t like looking into cameras either.
she should have gotten life in prison w/o the possibility of parole. the fact that she will only serve a % of those 55 years means she will be out again one day & that is NOT fair this was so calculated and took her 9 months to plan, she should never see the light of day again, that is such a slap in the face to the victims in this case, Heidi, the baby, her son, and her boyfriend. That is so messed up!!
Right! She'd been plotting this against her "best friend" for a minimum of 9 months. She lied to Heidi's face 1000s of times. Pretending she was pregnant,that she was Heidi's friend, pretending that she wasn't a complete psycho POS 😡
I totally agree! This monster will certainly not be “better” when she gets out, she will just try to steal somebody else’s baby! This is CRAZY! So unfair and sick! She had to have been planning it for over a year so when Heidi announced she pregnancy, she was ready to go with her scheme and start the lies! How sad! I wonder how the body wasn’t stinking! What a sick psycho to keep it all this time! Good God! Lord, have mercy on Shane and Silas, baby Margot snd Heidi’s family. And even Shane’s older daughter Addison! What a sad story!
She probably would have gotten Life w/o parole had she not plead guilty to a lesser charge. DA's make those offers to avoid the costs of trial. Those costs are more than just monetary costs, they try to save the family from having to further endure even more emotional & psychological pain that a trial would cause. Also, she very well could be forced to serve the full 55 years. She has to serve at least 85% of the 55 years before she can try to get paroled. If the family makes a statement at that parole hearing, the board very well would most likely reject the petition for parole.
Thank you so much for covering Heidi's story. I went to high school with her and we were really good friends. She was one of the sweetest girls you could ever want to know. People had nothing but kind, caring words about her. She touched a lot of lives and had a ton of friends. We were in a club called "students helping students" and we would pair with the special ed students and mentor them and help them with their everyday school days. She was so involved with this. Losing her impacted many, many lives. She didn't deserve this at all. RIP Heidi, we all love and miss you.
I keep thinking about her going into labor at the beach and then giving birth at the woodlands? If you map it it's super far and you pass up so many facilities. Even a major medical center. It didn't add up in my mind. This is so sad to hear.
Heidi was a very dear part of my family. I still to this day have a #JusticeforHeidi sticker on my car. I haven't had the heart to take it off. She was such a bright light. She was my cousins best friend. They would take me every where with when I was a little girl. My mom was in prison so I moved in with my aunt and they really became like older siblings to me. I looked up to both of them tremendously as a child. I remember them singing together in the front seats of the car, me being in the back, wishing I could sing like them. Thank you for covering her case. ❤
I feel bad for him too because he says “I just want to be natural.” It seemed like the camera crew were forcing him to act a certain way and it was uncomfortable for him. 💔 Sad all the way around.
My grandmother always laughed at the end of serious sentences; it was a nervous reaction from years of living with violent drunks. I can still hear her laugh and miss it so much.
Yall, I cannot believe I know someone whose story is being told on a true crime channel. I worked with Heidi at Olive Garden in Lake Charles before she moved to Austin. She was such a sweet and funny girl, so full of life. She gave the best hugs. I remember the shock of hearing what had happened to her and Margo. What a fucking tragic ending of someone that loved living her life. I haven’t listened to it all the way through yet, but it’s going to be rough. Thank you for covering this so thoroughly, Annie. You always give the victims so much respect. Heidi would’ve appreciated how you gave her a voice when some monster took hers away. 💜
I agree, not. Everybody shows emotion the same And not everyone is comfortable showing emotion. I feel like during his interview. Well, before it they told him he should act a certain way in once. He said he just wants to be natural. The interview went better ( Sorry I used voice to text)
YESSSS! I felt like he seemed sincere in his distress and they spent too much time focusing on him! This case is awful! What is this world we're living in!? 😢
When my husband had an adverse reaction to a medication and I had to call 911, when the EMTs arrived I nervously laughed and cracked a joke because I had to recount my husband seizing, eyes rolling back and falling off the toilet looking like he stopped breathing. You can never say a person needs to act XYZ during stressful moments.
My partner recently overdosed. He's ok and his treatment has him in a better place, mentally. So now I give him crap about how, in his intoxicated state, he kept telling me he was going to Malibu. (We live in Chicago.) If he has anything negative to say these days, I say things like "well then just go to Malibu." Sometimes we have to laugh to get through things, especially trauma. People nervous laugh over trivial uncomfortable situations. Why does it seem so weird to these people for someone to do that in a more serious one??
I mean yeah I get real uncomfortable talking to people too and act funny and anxious and it gives me anxiety and then I forget things so I can totally get it but I've never been in a situation like this so I would imagine it would be a lot worse in this situation. There is no right way to go about something like this
I always get so angry every single time I see true crime videos and people start immediately judging people based on their reactions, emotions or what they believe is a lack of emotions. If I were ever to find myself in a similar situation, I'd be misjudged and people would say I was guilty bc of how I react to things. I was severely abused by my mother my entire childhood. The physical, mental, emotional & psychological abuse started when I was a year old, whenever I tried to climb on her lap for love & comfort, she'd push or throw me off of her and tell me not to touch her. The physical aspect of the abuse lasted until I was 11 but the mental, emotional,psychological abuse continued until I left home at 16. I was sexually abused at 5 bc my mom had big parties in our apartment and she'd get so intoxicated that she allowed random men "tuck me into bed" and read a story. I was never allowed to express my emotions, whenever I expressed sadness or even anger, my mother would beat the tar out of me. At 17, I met a man who was 28, had a great job and owned his own home. He seemed like he was my knight in shining armor. He was the first person I had ever fully confided my childhood abuse to. He swept me off of my feet, telling me he'd never hurt me and would love me like I'd never experienced. I believed him. Everything was so wonderful until after I gave birth to our 1st son and got married when he was 3 months old. Looking back, he had started doing little things to break me down mentally & emotionally but I didn't realize it when it was happening. He physically attacked me for the very 1st time was the day after we got married. He would beat me while screaming at me to quit crying & stop begging him to stop. He told me the more I begged & cried, the worse it was going to be. He literally beat my emotions out of me. I had to condition myself not to cry or cry out in pain during the beatings. He also began r@ping me, as well. He did everything in his power to break me and he actually succeeded for a very long time. He would beat the hell out of me & he would constantly headbutt me causing me to have concussions. After he had finished beating me, he'd look at me and ask me what was wrong with me, he'd act like he was truly concerned about me and he wouldn't stop asking me what was wrong with me, so I would finally respond to him by telling him I was so upset and scared bc of the abuse I was going thru at his hands. He would look me dead in my eyes & tell me he was so concerned about my mental health because he had never put his hands on me nor had he ever headbutt me! After almost every beating, he would tell me that it never happened & I was crazy & having delusions & belonged in a sanitarium. Because of all of the abuse I endured for the first 24 years of my life, I cannot express my emotions in the presence of ANYONE. I even get angry at myself if I cry or let out my feelings when I am alone. I'd get convicted for a crime bc of it
In Shane I see he is anxious, nervous, uncomfortable, scared for his wife, his child, and himself. I'm sure he knows people are looking at him. I don't see him being rigid slick, fake tears. I basically don't see Chris watts in him. I see a scared husband and father.
I agree with this . Completely . Do you know how uncomfortable these interviews would be ? Your grieving and scared and yet your being put on a show . This is so awful to be put on display in time of grief ! I can feel his anxiety and fears . Chris watts on the other hand .. POS I saw through him immediately..
Watts was dead behind the eyes. Shane wasn’t. But I understand why people jumped to conclusions, especially after seeing the photos. It doesn’t make it acceptable, but I understand how they got there.
It drives me absolutely nuts when people say that somebody was acting weird when a spouse goes missing or Dies. You have no idea how you're gonna act in that situation until it happens to you, trust me. And Annie does this a lot and it drives me crazy. She's an intelligent woman And should know that everybody responds differently to stress
I can see how so many people thought his awkwardness in the beginning of the interview is suspicious, but to me his emotions feel genuine. He's awkward, of course, because he has no idea how to approach the situation, but he seemed to be hopeful and I felt there was a note of pride when he talked about Heidi as a mom. When his voice broke talking about the baby and her needs, that felt so genuine I nearly broke too. I don't think he knew who to suspect or what to even think really happened to her at that time, certainly not her best friend. I never expected you to cover this case, Annie, but I'm so glad you did!
And sounds like they were trying to tell him to look a certain way at the camera and do all these things that were making him more nervous.And that's why he said I just wan to be natural.I just want to get the word out there.I don't care what it looks like. As in he doesn't care what he looks like on t.V.He just wants to get the word out...
That interview with Shane was so obviously someone trying to hold back a panic attack. Not suspicious at all. He even says at one point, “I don’t care how it looks to people, I just want to get the word out” I’m not saying he is a good guy, but man the interview was heartbreaking.
i never skip your intro. every time it plays i say "hey baby girl" to harmony and fight back the tears. thank you for immortalizing her in such a beautiful way 🖤
Harmony’s story has been the absolute hardest for me to listen to. That poor sweet baby. And still she smiled so beautifully in that picture while all of the abuse was going on. The innocence is heartbreaking.
Oh my goodness my heart was broken for Shane I could feel his anxiety through his interview 😢 talking to the camera with lights on him all the questions it was just too much for him to bear I didn’t feel any way that he is guilty this was just pure raw emotion!! Poor guy!! 😢
He looks like he has a bad case of nerves. To me, not guilty, just super nervous. People laugh inappropriately when they are twisted up inside. I don’t know, but if he is generally a quiet person, this would be really hard. The rocking shows nervous energy.
I laugh in horrible situations… a girl passed out, emts at my job and everything. I covered my mouth and ran away because I was about to burst out laughing. I don’t do well when I’m nervous. Just today a woman was wailing… and I was concerned but I was also nervous because I’m antisocial and I didn’t want to walk up and just laugh at this poor woman so I went to get someone else and asked if they could check on her for me… to which they did.
@@joannacrisantos236 it’s hard… I’m sure I’m seen as odd. People talk to me different because of how I function and over time I have been able to see it. I have a hard time too. But I have to work to make a living. I get stressed easily so I work third shift where there’s less people to come in contact with.
Currently 40 weeks pregnant as of today & my whole pregnancy I was afraid of something like this. It’s sad that you have to worry about stuff like this!
Shane’s interview for me, demonstrates a man who is distressed and overwhelmed. I don’t think there is anything suspicious in his behaviour. His actions seem genuine to me. But I think the best of most people, until they show me who they really are. I’m sure more will be revealed as i continue to watch this video.
I actually think he was genuine during the interview. I use humor to get through tough situations so the fact that he laughed (I wouldn't really call that laughing) is exactly what I do when I'm being grilled. the " laughing is when I'm in my head acknowledging the awkwardness of the whole interaction. the way people react to things is on a spectrum, I think we need to remember that right?
I didn't get Chris Watts vibes in his interview. I saw a guy very nervous,upset and someone who's very uncomfortable with sharing anykind of feelings especially with a bunch of stranger's. I think he just chuckles when he gets nervous or when expressing any feelings. So crazy to think that someone you shared so much of your life with for so long would do something like this is so crazy.
he also had a child 2-3 weeks ago obviously not physically went through the labor but he was also in daddy bear mode. he was extremely stressed & i can tell he’s not had any sleep either. he did the best he could & ppl ran with it.
Mine too ! I drive once a month from Upstate,Ny to the Jersey shore . 12 hour round trip. I'll listen to old videos to. I'm up to date as i look and wait everyday for a new video from @10tolife with Annie ! she's the best ❤️
The only saving grace is that she waited until Margo was actually born to take her versus cutting her out of her friends body risking the babies life as well.
With how sensenationalized the media is, I cant believe I've never heard if this case. I would have thought they'd be all over this one. Thank you for sharing Heidi's story with me.
🎉🎉🎉 Hi Annie 👋🏼 I know that I’m only a little part of your 1.19 Million Subscribers… but I just noticed that you actually do reply to some of your comments. Even getting just a little ❤️ Really makes us viewers feel like part of your wonderful channel. Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos 🙏❤️🙂
I would look super shady if ever interviewed regarding something so serious. My traumatic childhood and teen years were tough. I started laughing and joking during inappropriate situations. I would rather laugh than cry.
Same when I was told my bio mum passed I couldn't stop laughing then I felt angry and stressed made laughing worse. People who have trauma from childhood its common. ( imo)
I had to give a witness statement for someone I care deeply for and I acted very similar to Shane. I actually stood up trying to catch my breath and had to move around/pace because I was so overwhelmed-it was almost a panic attack and caught me completely by surprise. He seemed genuine to me.
Hello Annie! My son & I love your show! He's a special needs child and is super sensitive to people's voices. But I say to him (his name's Vegas),"Do you wanna listen to Annie?" And he just gives me the biggest smile! So thank you for your lovely voice and amazing stories! Keep KILL'N it!
The Woodlands is not "very rural" or "very wooded" it's where the rich people from Houston live and commute to work, it's literally a norther suburb of houston lmfao full of multi-million dollar McMansions
I absolutely hate how often someone is compared to Chris Watts and his news interview. He showed absolutely no emotion whatsoever...no anxiety, stress, worry, nothing. And basically stood with his arms crossed the entire time, which most everyone considers a defensive action. Shane was the exact opposite. He was very clearly self-soothing by rocking/swaying. His cadence sounded genuinely panicked...the broken sentences and mix of emotions mid conversation. The smiling was likely a mix of recalling his last conversation with Heidi, which based on his retelling, was a pleasant one, and fighting not to lose his mind on a public platform. Trauma makes everyone react differently.
I feel like at that moment so many thoughts are going through his head. He’s thinking, did she leave with another man, did she get kidnapped, did she just up and leave me? His thoughts and emotions are all over the place
Annie, you are the best true crime story reporter out there. I am so happy when u put a new story out there. I appreciate your hard work and time you put in to bring the best stories ever.
I have frequent panic attacks...that's what's going on with the dad on camera. 😢. It's a full blown panic attack. You don't feel comfortable sitting down standing up getting your train of thought together. You feel like you can't breathe. You can't seem to just get it together.its just fucking crazy and then to have a camera on you as you plead to have your wife and kid found. It's just the most unnatural situation
I think he was overcome with emotions and panic and worry especially with all his fear for his family plus knowing that people automatically look at significant others, even when innocent that would be a terrible feeling. I think we really need to understand that we can’t condemn people without proof especially immediately out the gate. Such a sad and tragic story. 😢
This all went down right by my house, like down the street. I live in Harris County and I couldn't believe Heidi and Margo were found so close to my house, it was also on my birthday. So crazy! Such a beautiful light and mother taken from this world so senselessly. RIP Heidi! 😔
How?? How could anyone do this to anyone let alone their closest friend?! I have heard of horrific cases like this before. But not with a very close friend. Usually it’s someone the victim barely knows, or a neighbour. But her very closest friend(!) absolutely horrific and appalling. For her to also do that to an innocent sweet baby and Heidi’s son as well, is just diabolical. The deplorable things some people are capable of doing will never cease to appall me. Even though I’ve been a true crime fan for a long time. In my mind, it wasn’t just mental health issues with Megan. I think she was massively jealous. Megan was hugely jealous and I think also very possessive of Heidi. I think she was jealous that Heidi was staying with her husband. Heidi had one child already, she was now having another baby. Whereas Megan’s relationship had just failed and she had no children. She became desperate and clearly crazed and I think she stopped seeing Heidi as her friend and started to see her as her competitor and an answer to have a baby and possibly get back with her ex.
Awww her husband didn’t even know how to react he was so distraught & nervous. His emotions were all mixed together😔 I hate nervous laughter in tough situations. Totally relatable when super upset
My heart hurts for the little boy. He knew his mama, he loved her, felt her, and needed her and she was taken away. That little girl will grow up knowing of her while he will grow having known her. So so sad for both innocent babies
Right. I have to sit these out. I'm on day 3 in the hospital, recovering from an unplanned c-section so this type of case is going to be terrible for my psyche. Poor Heidi.
Oh I know. 18 years ago there was a case like this that happened not to far from where I lived and I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. Originally when found out the Gender my mom was going to get one of those announcement Storks and then these cases started popping up and we threw the stork idea out the window. Didn't do one for any of my pregnancies and never posted anything on social media. Something that everyone used to do all the time, now? I haven't seen any of those stork announcements anymore. It's heart breaking that we have to be so careful to keep our babies safe while still in the Womb. That we have to worry about who is brought around us and if they are presenting any red flags.
I honestly don’t see how people thought he seemed suspicious. My husband is like this. He can’t find the words to express himself and stress makes it worse. He looked like he was having an anxiety attack. Also I laugh when I’m uncomfortable. I think that’s what was going on.
I finally made the leap and subscribed to Beam Dream! For 24 years, I have had sleep issues. In 2000, I was actually diagnosed with a sleep disorder. Of course, the doctors’ first course of action was Ambien. I took it for a while, with minimal results. And when I became privy to its side effects, I tapered off and quit. I have now been drinking Beam Dream for a few weeks, and it does put me to sleep, but most importantly, I STAY asleep! I usually get 8 hours and wake up without an alarm; refreshed more than I have been in (like I said) 24 years! Annie, thank you from the bottom of my heart for turning us all on to Beam! Also, thank you for being a voice of the victims!❤ A LONG time faithful follower, ~S~
Just starting this video because of the title. My older sister faked a pregnancy and when i exposed her, she continued to lie to the guy. They're still together!
I feel for him. To me it looked genuine. Imagine not knowing how to express your feelings and then something like this happens to you. He doesn't know how to feel cause he didn't know what happened 🤷♀️ thankfully the true culprit was apprehended.
Im so glad you are covering this. I sent an email to another creator trying to get them too because her poor fiance has had so many struggles since this happened. Its absolutely heartbreaking
Love! I like listening to you while I clean. I watch so much true crime that I am always on high alert. My daughter left the garage door open last night and I forgot to lock our laundry door that goes to the garage. As soon as I saw that this morning I looked in literally every space of our house to make sure noone got in. 😅
I rock the exact same way when I’m extremely uncomfortable or stressed out it’s a self soothing technique for ppl who often have anxiety or anxiety attacks , it’s also very common for ppl with autism on sensory overload.
People jumping to blame him is just wrong. Watching his body language and watching how he was to me that came off 100% genuine. It came off as someone who has been told to man up his entire life and not show emotion he's fighting back tears he's trying to figure out what is going on where is his fiance where is his child what happened to them none of this makes any sense. And he's got everything coming at him from every side on top of a 6-year-old asking where his mom and sister is when he has no answers. He feels completely penned up trying to sit in one spot and comes off to me as someone who is a doer not a talker. So to Penn him into one spot and to try and to try and stay in frame when the only thing he wants to do is jump up and try and physically locate his missing child and significant other is it going to make him feel like a caged rat in a corner. He came off to me as being locked into a 100% fight or flight mode.
With social media in particular, sooo many ppl ignorantly jump to conclusions after like 1 minutes of video and zero background info. It's very frustrating bc those ppl are sitting in their homes safe and sound, judging someone they don't know during the worst day of their life
@@Kosmospolitan I wonder what mode you're in when you're being a keyboard worrier. JFC I know you're the epitome of human perfection so that anyone who studies or is interested in human nature / body language would use you as the control model and all. It must be so hard for you to be around all these mere mortals who get everything wrong by not looking at a person's complete history when reading their current body language to assess their current emotional state and level of description.
That was hard to hear. But needed to be told. If one woman or her partner get odd vibes from a friend, maybe they’ll think of this and stay away from them. Thanks for sharing the story Annie.
I’m going to have to try beam. My husband is leaving soon to go on the road for work and I legit CANNOT sleep without him. Ugh gives me anxiety just thinking about it. Beam dream here come! Thanks Annie!
I'm watching your numbers just fly!! My peripheral vision keeps seeing the numbers change as I'm watching and OMG! It went from 5k to 40k in 2 turns of the numbers! Like literally in seconds! Not minutes!! I remember when you hit the million mark! 🙌❤️ So proud of you!! You are definitely putting in the work, it shows!! You deserve to be on top!! You just blew my mind!! 🤯🤯 No. 1 fan here!! 🎉😊
You are my favorite true crime RUclipsr every single day. I’m going back and replaying your old videos. I just love listening to you talk it’s become comforting even with the tragic stories that you tell. The world we will live in can be so scary. All we can do is continue to spread awareness and pray for the victims families peace and happiness after something so tragic.
I have been following your YT, IG, and podcast for about a year, and I am so glad I found you!! You have helped me make dinner so many nights! Thanks for doing what you do to help keep us up to date!
My best friend sexually assaulted me and my daughter... I no longer trust ANYONE other than my partner. The people closest to us happen to be the ones most likely to hurt us the worst.
I am so, so sorry to hear that happened to you and your daughter. I can’t imagine the pain and trauma you both went through. I hope you are both in a safe place now and able to heal in your own way.
@@GothicUndone thank you so very much. 💜 We are still pushing through, 8 years later. Even with therapy, we both have triggers that mess with us. Two triggers in one week had my anxiety up to where it was when it was fresh, last week! That level of deceit doesn't ever fully heal. However, kindness and understanding from others really does help ease some of it. So thank you. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you.💝 Thanks for being a good example of "human." 💞
You know I get where he’s coming from I do the same thing when I’m really really nervous. My anxiety takes over and I just laughed and I start moving around so I get that I get where he’s coming from.
Hi beautiful soul, we had a case here in Germany where a mother and grandmother were killed and the 15 day old baby was kidnapped. This world is crazy. Sending love from Germany 💜
My son ‘s behavior is similar to this man’s by laughing when he is nervous or upset. He also smiles when most people would cry; it’s a nervous behavior, not that he thinks a serious situation is funny.
You were not wrong about this case. I thought I knew a lot of details about this case, but there were details and things I didn't know before I listed to this one. Thank you for covering Hedi's story. It's sad her life was cut short because of Megan's desires. She didn't deserve what happened to her at all.
People react differently in stressful situations. I was held up at gun point when I worked at a CVS. My coworker was screaming and crying where all I could do was chuckle and pray for her to be quiet. It’s more of a ‘ I can’t believe this is happening to me” type of situation
Annie you are beautiful inside and out. Love listening to your channel. Im a grandma and think whs At you do here makes people aware of what truley is iften hushed. Hugs to you, you do a great service here. Proud to see how hard hard you work. Thank you.
Just a small correction -- "The Woodlands" isn't a rural area in Texas. It's actually a subburb of Houston. It wouldn't be unusual for someone living in Houston to see a doctor or go to a hospital in the Woodlands.
On top of the nightmare this poor man has gone through he recently suffered a stroke and had to have part of his skull removed. He has a gofundme if anyone is able to help him.
New watcher here and I wanted to say I love watching your videos while doing work from home and cleaning I love how in debt and detail u tell these stories especially cause I don’t get the information or feelings like when u tell them! Thank you so much ❤ also thank you for telling there stories
Compare this to like Jennifer Soto or the parents of Summer Wells and you have a great example of a response based in sincere panic and worry, and ones based in guilt. Its a lot about whether they're being forthcoming and seeking solutions or being dodgy and offering explanations.
When I feel a panic attack coming on, this is the way I get, I go all over the place mentally, light headed, walking in circles, rocking, standing up then sitting down every 2 minutes, I understand the feeling of panic attacks, can you imagine that feeling but a million times worse with your wife and newborn just gone!
Another early morning of kitties cuddles and watching true crime! Thanks Annie! Y'all have a wonderful day and enjoy the episode. If anyone has any suggestions I'm running out of true crime stuff that's decent to watch in between watching Annie! ❤❤❤
Soon as she said she had the same date, I would be suspicious just simply because this has happened before it is not unheard of. It's crazy that these women think they will get away with killing someone and taking their baby. So so sad
ANNIE!!! IM BEGGING YOU TO COVER KRYSTAL CANDELARIO!!!! This baby girl deserves to at the very least have her story heard by the entire world! It is truly vile and has kept me up for days!
I feel so bad for the dad during his interview. I also have this problem that I laugh uncontrollably when it is least appropriate and I'm super anxious. Many people don't understand, unfortunately.

The rocking is a self-soothing technique. He’s having a very clear anxiety attack. He’s worried and scared. He’s not being slick or greasy. The laughter isn’t gleeful.

I feel like everyone has Chris Watts glasses on instead of remembering that real people have real emotions and not every man is out here annihilating their families.
Also I just want to add that abuse is never okay. I really hope that he gets the help for that that he needs and deserves and never abuses another person again. And I hope that Heidi’s babies are safe and happy. My heart breaks for everyone involved.
i definately thought he killed her and i regret feeling that way... now i can see that he really was in shock. :(
I am autistic. Very very late diagnosed at age 40 and I'm 42 now and I'm still learning. But his inability to make eye contact all that stuff it could just have been anxiety and the situation I can't imagine I just cannot imagine. But no I did not see Chris Watts vibes at all. Chris Watts was smiling the whole time and making a defensive I suppose soothing but I don't think he needed to self soothe honestly I think he was just crossing his arms and closing himself off because this was not necessary for him you know he did not need to be having these interviews he did not want to be doing these things he wanted it done and over with he didn't want to deal with it anymore. This guy was different. And I'm not saying he is autistic I'm not saying that at all I'm just saying I can see some tendencies that makes sense to me because I see it in my son he was is also autistic. I do find a way to lighten things to make them palatable I think with humor sometimes not necessarily humor but to be able to laugh to bring yourself back to something that's comfortable something that makes sense to you when nothing else is making sense
@@bonnieglenn663 I’m also late diagnosed autistic. I never just assume people are being purposefully shady unless there is clear evidence of such.
He also had real emotion and tears at the end of the interview when he was begging for their safe return.
Shane's interview looked legit, in my opinion. He's obviously not comfortable with emotional stuff, he's self soothing & trying not to lose his shit.
I agree!!! And I love your handle! 😉
Totally Agree x
I think Shane was trying not to have a full blown panic attack. The rocking, he's self soothing.
That's what I think too that part is on for me at the moment. The red eyes and painful laughing he's messed up for real about it not like he's hiding anything imo
Exactly, he was scared uncomfortable, not slick like Chris Watts did.
Absolutely agree. He even has an uncomfortable laugh when talking about the whole situation with Megan after. Some people, like myself even, do this. I’m also shy and don’t make eye contact well, and don’t like looking into cameras either.
Poor darlin is devastated and trying to ask the public for help. His laughing is nerves for sure. Trying to appease the interviewer it seems.
Totally!! I also think he just felt really weird being on camera and having to look a certain way. But was also just so devastated and confused. :(
she should have gotten life in prison w/o the possibility of parole. the fact that she will only serve a % of those 55 years means she will be out again one day & that is NOT fair this was so calculated and took her 9 months to plan, she should never see the light of day again, that is such a slap in the face to the victims in this case, Heidi, the baby, her son, and her boyfriend. That is so messed up!!
Right! She'd been plotting this against her "best friend" for a minimum of 9 months. She lied to Heidi's face 1000s of times. Pretending she was pregnant,that she was Heidi's friend, pretending that she wasn't a complete psycho POS 😡
I totally agree! This monster will certainly not be “better” when she gets out, she will just try to steal somebody else’s baby! This is CRAZY! So unfair and sick! She had to have been planning it for over a year so when Heidi announced she pregnancy, she was ready to go with her scheme and start the lies! How sad! I wonder how the body wasn’t stinking! What a sick psycho to keep it all this time! Good God! Lord, have mercy on Shane and Silas, baby Margot snd Heidi’s family. And even Shane’s older daughter Addison! What a sad story!
She probably would have gotten Life w/o parole had she not plead guilty to a lesser charge. DA's make those offers to avoid the costs of trial. Those costs are more than just monetary costs, they try to save the family from having to further endure even more emotional & psychological pain that a trial would cause. Also, she very well could be forced to serve the full 55 years. She has to serve at least 85% of the 55 years before she can try to get paroled. If the family makes a statement at that parole hearing, the board very well would most likely reject the petition for parole.
Thank you so much for covering Heidi's story. I went to high school with her and we were really good friends. She was one of the sweetest girls you could ever want to know. People had nothing but kind, caring words about her. She touched a lot of lives and had a ton of friends. We were in a club called "students helping students" and we would pair with the special ed students and mentor them and help them with their everyday school days. She was so involved with this. Losing her impacted many, many lives. She didn't deserve this at all. RIP Heidi, we all love and miss you.
My condolences ❤❤ that's such a beautiful memory to share.
I am so sorry 😢 my prayers 🙏 this is sick. Keep your head up!
Oh my gosh I am so sorry for your loss! Thank you for sharing more about her! ❤
She sounded like a great person, it’s just terrible that her precious children are growing up without her.
I keep thinking about her going into labor at the beach and then giving birth at the woodlands? If you map it it's super far and you pass up so many facilities. Even a major medical center. It didn't add up in my mind. This is so sad to hear.
Heidi was a very dear part of my family. I still to this day have a #JusticeforHeidi sticker on my car. I haven't had the heart to take it off. She was such a bright light. She was my cousins best friend. They would take me every where with when I was a little girl. My mom was in prison so I moved in with my aunt and they really became like older siblings to me. I looked up to both of them tremendously as a child. I remember them singing together in the front seats of the car, me being in the back, wishing I could sing like them. Thank you for covering her case. ❤
My deepest condolences to you and everyone who loved her.
I am so sorry. 💔
The dad laughs in uncomfortable situations. He's so upset and he doesn't know how to handle anything in this moment. It's so sad.
My husband and our oldest son smile when it’s a serious matter. I used to get aggravated until I learned they can’t help it.
I feel bad for him too because he says “I just want to be natural.” It seemed like the camera crew were forcing him to act a certain way and it was uncomfortable for him. 💔 Sad all the way around.
Shot even I’ll laugh and smile when I start getting to unsure and uncomfortable and nervous then I’ll start crying
@@NiNitosixI’m the same wonder what makes us like this
My grandmother always laughed at the end of serious sentences; it was a nervous reaction from years of living with violent drunks. I can still hear her laugh and miss it so much.
Yall, I cannot believe I know someone whose story is being told on a true crime channel. I worked with Heidi at Olive Garden in Lake Charles before she moved to Austin. She was such a sweet and funny girl, so full of life. She gave the best hugs. I remember the shock of hearing what had happened to her and Margo. What a fucking tragic ending of someone that loved living her life. I haven’t listened to it all the way through yet, but it’s going to be rough. Thank you for covering this so thoroughly, Annie. You always give the victims so much respect. Heidi would’ve appreciated how you gave her a voice when some monster took hers away. 💜
She even mentioned “Heidi hugs” at the end!! 🥹
I’ve been in lake Charles. Sorry for the loss of your friend.
@@dananelson5244 thank you, I appreciate that.
I'm sorry for your loss 😞💜
This is a perfect example of never judge someone in this situation!! Everyone reactions are different.
Absolutely
It more crazy
I agree, not. Everybody shows emotion the same And not everyone is comfortable showing emotion. I feel like during his interview. Well, before it they told him he should act a certain way in once. He said he just wants to be natural. The interview went better ( Sorry I used voice to text)
100%
YESSSS! I felt like he seemed sincere in his distress and they spent too much time focusing on him! This case is awful! What is this world we're living in!? 😢
When my husband had an adverse reaction to a medication and I had to call 911, when the EMTs arrived I nervously laughed and cracked a joke because I had to recount my husband seizing, eyes rolling back and falling off the toilet looking like he stopped breathing. You can never say a person needs to act XYZ during stressful moments.
My partner recently overdosed. He's ok and his treatment has him in a better place, mentally. So now I give him crap about how, in his intoxicated state, he kept telling me he was going to Malibu. (We live in Chicago.) If he has anything negative to say these days, I say things like "well then just go to Malibu."
Sometimes we have to laugh to get through things, especially trauma. People nervous laugh over trivial uncomfortable situations. Why does it seem so weird to these people for someone to do that in a more serious one??
@aaden5823 glad to hear he is ok. Those situations can really reek havoc, and sometimes you just react the way you body is going to.
I mean yeah I get real uncomfortable talking to people too and act funny and anxious and it gives me anxiety and then I forget things so I can totally get it but I've never been in a situation like this so I would imagine it would be a lot worse in this situation. There is no right way to go about something like this
I always get so angry every single time I see true crime videos and people start immediately judging people based on their reactions, emotions or what they believe is a lack of emotions. If I were ever to find myself in a similar situation, I'd be misjudged and people would say I was guilty bc of how I react to things. I was severely abused by my mother my entire childhood. The physical, mental, emotional & psychological abuse started when I was a year old, whenever I tried to climb on her lap for love & comfort, she'd push or throw me off of her and tell me not to touch her. The physical aspect of the abuse lasted until I was 11 but the mental, emotional,psychological abuse continued until I left home at 16. I was sexually abused at 5 bc my mom had big parties in our apartment and she'd get so intoxicated that she allowed random men "tuck me into bed" and read a story. I was never allowed to express my emotions, whenever I expressed sadness or even anger, my mother would beat the tar out of me. At 17, I met a man who was 28, had a great job and owned his own home. He seemed like he was my knight in shining armor. He was the first person I had ever fully confided my childhood abuse to. He swept me off of my feet, telling me he'd never hurt me and would love me like I'd never experienced. I believed him. Everything was so wonderful until after I gave birth to our 1st son and got married when he was 3 months old. Looking back, he had started doing little things to break me down mentally & emotionally but I didn't realize it when it was happening. He physically attacked me for the very 1st time was the day after we got married. He would beat me while screaming at me to quit crying & stop begging him to stop. He told me the more I begged & cried, the worse it was going to be. He literally beat my emotions out of me. I had to condition myself not to cry or cry out in pain during the beatings. He also began r@ping me, as well. He did everything in his power to break me and he actually succeeded for a very long time. He would beat the hell out of me & he would constantly headbutt me causing me to have concussions. After he had finished beating me, he'd look at me and ask me what was wrong with me, he'd act like he was truly concerned about me and he wouldn't stop asking me what was wrong with me, so I would finally respond to him by telling him I was so upset and scared bc of the abuse I was going thru at his hands. He would look me dead in my eyes & tell me he was so concerned about my mental health because he had never put his hands on me nor had he ever headbutt me! After almost every beating, he would tell me that it never happened & I was crazy & having delusions & belonged in a sanitarium. Because of all of the abuse I endured for the first 24 years of my life, I cannot express my emotions in the presence of ANYONE. I even get angry at myself if I cry or let out my feelings when I am alone. I'd get convicted for a crime bc of it
This is why I prefer speech analysis to body language analysis
In Shane I see he is anxious, nervous, uncomfortable, scared for his wife, his child, and himself. I'm sure he knows people are looking at him. I don't see him being rigid slick, fake tears. I basically don't see Chris watts in him. I see a scared husband and father.
I agree with this . Completely .
Do you know how uncomfortable these interviews would be ? Your grieving and scared and yet your being put on a show . This is so awful to be put on display in time of grief ! I can feel his anxiety and fears .
Chris watts on the other hand .. POS I saw through him immediately..
Watts was dead behind the eyes. Shane wasn’t. But I understand why people jumped to conclusions, especially after seeing the photos. It doesn’t make it acceptable, but I understand how they got there.
Exactly what I was going to say
I also believe all the things he did is replaying over and over
As someone who laughs when they are uncomfortable I feel his pain
It drives me absolutely nuts when people say that somebody was acting weird when a spouse goes missing or Dies. You have no idea how you're gonna act in that situation until it happens to you, trust me. And Annie does this a lot and it drives me crazy. She's an intelligent woman And should know that everybody responds differently to stress
I can see how so many people thought his awkwardness in the beginning of the interview is suspicious, but to me his emotions feel genuine. He's awkward, of course, because he has no idea how to approach the situation, but he seemed to be hopeful and I felt there was a note of pride when he talked about Heidi as a mom. When his voice broke talking about the baby and her needs, that felt so genuine I nearly broke too. I don't think he knew who to suspect or what to even think really happened to her at that time, certainly not her best friend.
I never expected you to cover this case, Annie, but I'm so glad you did!
Exactly! Also they were asking him to do something because he said "I just want to be natural" as in he didn't want to look or do what they asked.
Same. I think he really just didn’t know how to react.
And sounds like they were trying to tell him to look a certain way at the camera and do all these things that were making him more nervous.And that's why he said I just wan to be natural.I just want to get the word out there.I don't care what it looks like. As in he doesn't care what he looks like on t.V.He just wants to get the word out...
He feels pressured and uncomfortable, and he's wanting to just be able to worry about his wife and baby who were missing
He seems like he's in shock, for real. Chris Watts just looked like the cat that ate the canary!
I laugh and smile in uncomfortable situations too and jump from emotion to emotion. I feel so bad for her husband. He was so genuine here... 😢💔
That poor guy seems traumatized and presenting numerous self soothing techniques. He’s sedated and obviously feels he’s landed in the twilight zone
Poor guy? He used to beat her.
Right?! Poor guy?!?! 🤦🏻♀️ he’s a POS and I hope to god he’s not hurting his daughter.
He's not supposed to be upset that his wife and baby are gone? He's def.a POS but he's also a father
That interview with Shane was so obviously someone trying to hold back a panic attack. Not suspicious at all. He even says at one point, “I don’t care how it looks to people, I just want to get the word out” I’m not saying he is a good guy, but man the interview was heartbreaking.
Annie making at least one hour of my workday go by faster. Thanks for the amazing coverage as always.
god hopes you're not a nurse 😂
You're so welcome!
@@traceylewin772 It’s a really good thing I’m not then. Weird thing to assume.
i never skip your intro. every time it plays i say "hey baby girl" to harmony and fight back the tears. thank you for immortalizing her in such a beautiful way 🖤
Harmony’s story has been the absolute hardest for me to listen to. That poor sweet baby. And still she smiled so beautifully in that picture while all of the abuse was going on. The innocence is heartbreaking.
He's nervous his reactions are very normal. This is anxiety and feeling like you want to get out.
Oh my goodness my heart was broken for Shane I could feel his anxiety through his interview 😢 talking to the camera with lights on him all the questions it was just too much for him to bear I didn’t feel any way that he is guilty this was just pure raw emotion!! Poor guy!! 😢
He looks like he has a bad case of nerves. To me, not guilty, just super nervous. People laugh inappropriately when they are twisted up inside. I don’t know, but if he is generally a quiet person, this would be really hard. The rocking shows nervous energy.
M
I laugh in horrible situations… a girl passed out, emts at my job and everything. I covered my mouth and ran away because I was about to burst out laughing. I don’t do well when I’m nervous. Just today a woman was wailing… and I was concerned but I was also nervous because I’m antisocial and I didn’t want to walk up and just laugh at this poor woman so I went to get someone else and asked if they could check on her for me… to which they did.
@@destinygatez7068since you’re antisocial, how are you able to function normally with others? I can’t.
@@joannacrisantos236 it’s hard… I’m sure I’m seen as odd. People talk to me different because of how I function and over time I have been able to see it. I have a hard time too. But I have to work to make a living. I get stressed easily so I work third shift where there’s less people to come in contact with.
The betrayal! I can’t even imagine how she must have felt when she realized! So cruel !!!!!!
People can be so crappy…this poor man is clearly in a high state of anxiety ….he doesn’t know his arse from his elbow he’s so on edge…
That or he's high as a kite. Let's not forget he's an abusive arsehole so perhaps his emotions are always a bit skewed.
He made me want to have a panic attack just watching him.
This poor man?! The poor man that beat his own fiancée? He deserves to be in prison for that.
Currently 40 weeks pregnant as of today & my whole pregnancy I was afraid of something like this. It’s sad that you have to worry about stuff like this!
100% fancy white ppl area
Shane’s interview for me, demonstrates a man who is distressed and overwhelmed. I don’t think there is anything suspicious in his behaviour. His actions seem genuine to me. But I think the best of most people, until they show me who they really are.
I’m sure more will be revealed as i continue to watch this video.
I agree. He's been thrown into a terrible situation, and none of us have a blueprint of how to behave when publicly pleading for your family.
No I totally agree. Especially about the part about feeding the baby, and the baby only being 3 weeks. Like he just couldn't process it.
hearing the words at the end be spoken by a Hispanic Female Judge… i got chills. so much power behind the words sentencing Megan.
I actually think he was genuine during the interview. I use humor to get through tough situations so the fact that he laughed (I wouldn't really call that laughing) is exactly what I do when I'm being grilled. the "
laughing is when I'm in my head acknowledging the awkwardness of the whole interaction. the way people react to things is on a spectrum, I think we need to remember that right?
I didn't get Chris Watts vibes in his interview. I saw a guy very nervous,upset and someone who's very uncomfortable with sharing anykind of feelings especially with a bunch of stranger's. I think he just chuckles when he gets nervous or when expressing any feelings. So crazy to think that someone you shared so much of your life with for so long would do something like this is so crazy.
exactly… he was going through so many emotions… he was missing his fiancee & daughter.
he also had a child 2-3 weeks ago obviously not physically went through the labor but he was also in daddy bear mode. he was extremely stressed & i can tell he’s not had any sleep either. he did the best he could & ppl ran with it.
If you travel for work and listen to true crime like this! She’s been my perfect road trip side bishhhhh
Im a mail carrier so she is in my ear all day while walking ❤ so true
Yassssss
Mine too ! I drive once a month from Upstate,Ny to the Jersey shore . 12 hour round trip. I'll listen to old videos to. I'm up to date as i look and wait everyday for a new video from @10tolife with Annie ! she's the best ❤️
The only saving grace is that she waited until Margo was actually born to take her versus cutting her out of her friends body risking the babies life as well.
With how sensenationalized the media is, I cant believe I've never heard if this case. I would have thought they'd be all over this one. Thank you for sharing Heidi's story with me.
🎉🎉🎉 Hi Annie 👋🏼
I know that I’m only a little part of your 1.19 Million Subscribers… but I just noticed that you actually do reply to some of your comments. Even getting just a little ❤️ Really makes us viewers feel like part of your wonderful channel.
Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos 🙏❤️🙂
Annie still keeps it personal & answers most questions!
I would look super shady if ever interviewed regarding something so serious. My traumatic childhood and teen years were tough. I started laughing and joking during inappropriate situations. I would rather laugh than cry.
I feel seen by this.🙌🏻
Saaaaaaaaaame
Same when I was told my bio mum passed I couldn't stop laughing then I felt angry and stressed made laughing worse. People who have trauma from childhood its common. ( imo)
Yep same here. I have always laughed but it stems from being uncomfortable, not finding something funny
I had to give a witness statement for someone I care deeply for and I acted very similar to Shane. I actually stood up trying to catch my breath and had to move around/pace because I was so overwhelmed-it was almost a panic attack and caught me completely by surprise. He seemed genuine to me.
Hi Annie. You make my day better when I see your notifications. You stay with me when I cook, when I clean and when I relax. you are wonderful.
Me too! I do everything at home listening to Annie 😂😂 . Love it!🎉
buahaha, same!
I'm so glad! Thank you so much!
Hello Annie! My son & I love your show! He's a special needs child and is super sensitive to people's voices. But I say to him (his name's Vegas),"Do you wanna listen to Annie?" And he just gives me the biggest smile!
So thank you for your lovely voice and amazing stories! Keep KILL'N it!
The Woodlands is not "very rural" or "very wooded" it's where the rich people from Houston live and commute to work, it's literally a norther suburb of houston lmfao full of multi-million dollar McMansions
lol! i was thinking the exact same thing.. i was like.. its not really rural? haha.
This!!!
yup,..looking for this exact comment, ; )
Sometimes rural just means fewer houses or people as compared to other populations. Also some rural can be very wealthy.
I absolutely hate how often someone is compared to Chris Watts and his news interview. He showed absolutely no emotion whatsoever...no anxiety, stress, worry, nothing. And basically stood with his arms crossed the entire time, which most everyone considers a defensive action. Shane was the exact opposite. He was very clearly self-soothing by rocking/swaying. His cadence sounded genuinely panicked...the broken sentences and mix of emotions mid conversation. The smiling was likely a mix of recalling his last conversation with Heidi, which based on his retelling, was a pleasant one, and fighting not to lose his mind on a public platform. Trauma makes everyone react differently.
I feel like at that moment so many thoughts are going through his head. He’s thinking, did she leave with another man, did she get kidnapped, did she just up and leave me? His thoughts and emotions are all over the place
No Tears she's not sorry. Narcissist at her finest
God bless you Shane and family 😇
Annie, you are the best true crime story reporter out there. I am so happy when u put a new story out there. I appreciate your hard work and time you put in to bring the best stories ever.
I have frequent panic attacks...that's what's going on with the dad on camera. 😢. It's a full blown panic attack. You don't feel comfortable sitting down standing up getting your train of thought together. You feel like you can't breathe. You can't seem to just get it together.its just fucking crazy and then to have a camera on you as you plead to have your wife and kid found. It's just the most unnatural situation
I think him chuckling is him being in disbelief, and just experiencing a lot of emotions at once..
I think he was overcome with emotions and panic and worry especially with all his fear for his family plus knowing that people automatically look at significant others, even when innocent that would be a terrible feeling. I think we really need to understand that we can’t condemn people without proof especially immediately out the gate. Such a sad and tragic story. 😢
I told my boyfriend, I really do feel like you are my true crime bestie. He agreed. Thank you for just being you. I appreciate you ❤️
This all went down right by my house, like down the street. I live in Harris County and I couldn't believe Heidi and Margo were found so close to my house, it was also on my birthday. So crazy! Such a beautiful light and mother taken from this world so senselessly.
RIP Heidi! 😔
How could someone do something so heartless?!
How?? How could anyone do this to anyone let alone their closest friend?! I have heard of horrific cases like this before. But not with a very close friend. Usually it’s someone the victim barely knows, or a neighbour. But her very closest friend(!) absolutely horrific and appalling. For her to also do that to an innocent sweet baby and Heidi’s son as well, is just diabolical. The deplorable things some people are capable of doing will never cease to appall me. Even though I’ve been a true crime fan for a long time. In my mind, it wasn’t just mental health issues with Megan. I think she was massively jealous. Megan was hugely jealous and I think also very possessive of Heidi. I think she was jealous that Heidi was staying with her husband. Heidi had one child already, she was now having another baby. Whereas Megan’s relationship had just failed and she had no children. She became desperate and clearly crazed and I think she stopped seeing Heidi as her friend and started to see her as her competitor and an answer to have a baby and possibly get back with her ex.
Annie the way you constantly deliver content back to back to back! so appreciated!!! :)
Awww her husband didn’t even know how to react he was so distraught & nervous. His emotions were all mixed together😔 I hate nervous laughter in tough situations. Totally relatable when super upset
girrrrl i’ve been waiting for you to talk me through work 😂
Same!!!!!
Same!!!!
Same!! Perfect timing!
Same here & I’m happy I’m not alone 😂
her podcast gets me through work on the reg 😂
My heart hurts for the little boy. He knew his mama, he loved her, felt her, and needed her and she was taken away. That little girl will grow up knowing of her while he will grow having known her. So so sad for both innocent babies
Just for clarification the Woodlands is not rual at all. It's a city packed with malls, theaters, and specialty hospitals.
Yes 😂😂😂 I had to comment that. I'm 45 minutes awayand all my doctors are there right off 242/45
I was coming here to say this 😂
Only place that is rural in the north is Conroe lol

@@Danisuzette I forgot about the Walmart 😂😂
I am so glad the baby is okay and wasn’t harmed .. but she’s growing up without her beautiful mama .
Which is going to hurt her forever
These stories are horrifying, especially as a pregnant mother 😢
Was about to say that😢
I've got 9 weeks left and try to hide my belly. No one needs to know that I have a baby they can take.
Stay strong mamas!
Right. I have to sit these out. I'm on day 3 in the hospital, recovering from an unplanned c-section so this type of case is going to be terrible for my psyche. Poor Heidi.
Oh I know. 18 years ago there was a case like this that happened not to far from where I lived and I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. Originally when found out the Gender my mom was going to get one of those announcement Storks and then these cases started popping up and we threw the stork idea out the window. Didn't do one for any of my pregnancies and never posted anything on social media. Something that everyone used to do all the time, now? I haven't seen any of those stork announcements anymore. It's heart breaking that we have to be so careful to keep our babies safe while still in the Womb. That we have to worry about who is brought around us and if they are presenting any red flags.
😊
I honestly don’t see how people thought he seemed suspicious. My husband is like this. He can’t find the words to express himself and stress makes it worse. He looked like he was having an anxiety attack. Also I laugh when I’m uncomfortable. I think that’s what was going on.
I finally made the leap and subscribed to Beam Dream! For 24 years, I have had sleep issues. In 2000, I was actually diagnosed with a sleep disorder. Of course, the doctors’ first course of action was Ambien. I took it for a while, with minimal results. And when I became privy to its side effects, I tapered off and quit.
I have now been drinking Beam Dream for a few weeks, and it does put me to sleep, but most importantly, I STAY asleep! I usually get 8 hours and wake up without an alarm; refreshed more than I have been in (like I said) 24 years!
Annie, thank you from the bottom of my heart for turning us all on to Beam! Also, thank you for being a voice of the victims!❤
A LONG time faithful follower,
~S~
you show emotion- you fake, dont show emotion- you fake- you just cannot win nowadays...
Well it didn’t help that he beat her, not a good track record when your fiancée goes missing. Fingers will definitely be pointing at the abuser first.
Why is the 1:00:00 runtime so satisfying?
I'm telling myself she did that on purpose. Annie, don't ruin it 😂
Just starting this video because of the title. My older sister faked a pregnancy and when i exposed her, she continued to lie to the guy. They're still together!
I feel for him. To me it looked genuine. Imagine not knowing how to express your feelings and then something like this happens to you. He doesn't know how to feel cause he didn't know what happened 🤷♀️ thankfully the true culprit was apprehended.
30:35 when he cracks…… that is just heartbreaking 😢…. He’s just uncomfortable in the situation with the smiling and pacing…
Binge watching every one of your episodes while I work. Obsessed this one just got here 8 min ago!! In heaven.
Im so glad you are covering this. I sent an email to another creator trying to get them too because her poor fiance has had so many struggles since this happened. Its absolutely heartbreaking
Love! I like listening to you while I clean. I watch so much true crime that I am always on high alert. My daughter left the garage door open last night and I forgot to lock our laundry door that goes to the garage.
As soon as I saw that this morning I looked in literally every space of our house to make sure noone got in. 😅
I rock the exact same way when I’m extremely uncomfortable or stressed out it’s a self soothing technique for ppl who often have anxiety or anxiety attacks , it’s also very common for ppl with autism on sensory overload.
People jumping to blame him is just wrong. Watching his body language and watching how he was to me that came off 100% genuine. It came off as someone who has been told to man up his entire life and not show emotion he's fighting back tears he's trying to figure out what is going on where is his fiance where is his child what happened to them none of this makes any sense. And he's got everything coming at him from every side on top of a 6-year-old asking where his mom and sister is when he has no answers. He feels completely penned up trying to sit in one spot and comes off to me as someone who is a doer not a talker. So to Penn him into one spot and to try and to try and stay in frame when the only thing he wants to do is jump up and try and physically locate his missing child and significant other is it going to make him feel like a caged rat in a corner. He came off to me as being locked into a 100% fight or flight mode.
With social media in particular, sooo many ppl ignorantly jump to conclusions after like 1 minutes of video and zero background info. It's very frustrating bc those ppl are sitting in their homes safe and sound, judging someone they don't know during the worst day of their life
When he said ""feed the baby" and started to weep ..
I wonder what mode he was in when he was beating Heidi between their first and second child? Hmm....
Jfc. Of course he's under suspicion.
@@Kosmospolitan I wonder what mode you're in when you're being a keyboard worrier. JFC I know you're the epitome of human perfection so that anyone who studies or is interested in human nature / body language would use you as the control model and all. It must be so hard for you to be around all these mere mortals who get everything wrong by not looking at a person's complete history when reading their current body language to assess their current emotional state and level of description.
I have seen dozens of interviews with family and this guy is genuine. The look on his face is distressed.
That was hard to hear. But needed to be told. If one woman or her partner get odd vibes from a friend, maybe they’ll think of this and stay away from them.
Thanks for sharing the story Annie.
I’m going to have to try beam. My husband is leaving soon to go on the road for work and I legit CANNOT sleep without him. Ugh gives me anxiety just thinking about it. Beam dream here come! Thanks Annie!
I'm watching your numbers just fly!! My peripheral vision keeps seeing the numbers change as I'm watching and OMG! It went from 5k to 40k in 2 turns of the numbers! Like literally in seconds! Not minutes!! I remember when you hit the million mark! 🙌❤️ So proud of you!! You are definitely putting in the work, it shows!! You deserve to be on top!! You just blew my mind!! 🤯🤯 No. 1 fan here!! 🎉😊
You are my favorite true crime RUclipsr every single day. I’m going back and replaying your old videos. I just love listening to you talk it’s become comforting even with the tragic stories that you tell. The world we will live in can be so scary. All we can do is continue to spread awareness and pray for the victims families peace and happiness after something so tragic.
I hate how much other people judge how someone grieves or handles the most stressful and unfamiliar situations in their entire lives.
Agreed. Her poor fiance getting interviewed was horrible. I felt so bad for him 😞
I have been following your YT, IG, and podcast for about a year, and I am so glad I found you!! You have helped me make dinner so many nights! Thanks for doing what you do to help keep us up to date!
My best friend sexually assaulted me and my daughter...
I no longer trust ANYONE other than my partner. The people closest to us happen to be the ones most likely to hurt us the worst.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. ❤
Thank you so much! I count my blessings that we made it out alive. So many people don't. 😞
I am so, so sorry to hear that happened to you and your daughter. I can’t imagine the pain and trauma you both went through. I hope you are both in a safe place now and able to heal in your own way.
@@GothicUndone thank you so very much. 💜
We are still pushing through, 8 years later. Even with therapy, we both have triggers that mess with us. Two triggers in one week had my anxiety up to where it was when it was fresh, last week! That level of deceit doesn't ever fully heal.
However, kindness and understanding from others really does help ease some of it. So thank you. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you.💝 Thanks for being a good example of "human." 💞
You know I get where he’s coming from I do the same thing when I’m really really nervous. My anxiety takes over and I just laughed and I start moving around so I get that I get where he’s coming from.
Hi beautiful soul, we had a case here in Germany where a mother and grandmother were killed and the 15 day old baby was kidnapped. This world is crazy. Sending love from Germany 💜
My son ‘s behavior is similar to this man’s by laughing when he is nervous or upset. He also smiles when most people would cry; it’s a nervous behavior, not that he thinks a serious situation is funny.
You were not wrong about this case. I thought I knew a lot of details about this case, but there were details and things I didn't know before I listed to this one. Thank you for covering Hedi's story. It's sad her life was cut short because of Megan's desires. She didn't deserve what happened to her at all.
People react differently in stressful situations. I was held up at gun point when I worked at a CVS. My coworker was screaming and crying where all I could do was chuckle and pray for her to be quiet. It’s more of a ‘ I can’t believe this is happening to me” type of situation
Yayyy! This just made my day great! Annie you do the best crime coverage ever! Love you!
His reaction seems genuine. He had a difficult time getting his emotions out and so it looked “odd” to other people.
I had actually never heard of this one and thought you were talking about the Regan Hancock / Taylor Parker case. Thanks for covering this!
Same!
Same, same!
Same!
Annie you are beautiful inside and out. Love listening to your channel. Im a grandma and think whs
At you do here makes people aware of what truley is iften hushed. Hugs to you, you do a great service here. Proud to see how hard hard you work. Thank you.
30:28 I never thought he acted suspiciously. Think he’s just trying to hold it together. People are real quick to judge and make assumptions.
Just a small correction -- "The Woodlands" isn't a rural area in Texas. It's actually a subburb of Houston. It wouldn't be unusual for someone living in Houston to see a doctor or go to a hospital in the Woodlands.
On top of the nightmare this poor man has gone through he recently suffered a stroke and had to have part of his skull removed. He has a gofundme if anyone is able to help him.
Oh no I was scrolling to read somewhere how Sean and the kids were doing... I hope her and his family are helping out with the kids too!
Literally, Westminster SC had a similar case. In 1999, Lori Webb (Brown) did similar...she tried to cut open the girls stomach with a box cutter.
Thank you for this deep dive and honoring her with this video and commentary
New watcher here and I wanted to say I love watching your videos while doing work from home and cleaning I love how in debt and detail u tell these stories especially cause I don’t get the information or feelings like when u tell them! Thank you so much ❤ also thank you for telling there stories
Compare this to like Jennifer Soto or the parents of Summer Wells and you have a great example of a response based in sincere panic and worry, and ones based in guilt. Its a lot about whether they're being forthcoming and seeking solutions or being dodgy and offering explanations.
When I feel a panic attack coming on, this is the way I get, I go all over the place mentally, light headed, walking in circles, rocking, standing up then sitting down every 2 minutes, I understand the feeling of panic attacks, can you imagine that feeling but a million times worse with your wife and newborn just gone!
this is the case that sucked me into true crime. I was watching a youtuber live interview one of the friends when she and the baby were found.
I laugh when I get super nervous too. To me he looks truthful.
Man I cant imagine being in Shane's position. Fearing for your family while knowing everyone thinks you had something to do with it.
I often get criticism for my emotions. When I am stressed I often laugh or get angry.
Another early morning of kitties cuddles and watching true crime! Thanks Annie! Y'all have a wonderful day and enjoy the episode. If anyone has any suggestions I'm running out of true crime stuff that's decent to watch in between watching Annie! ❤❤❤
Soon as she said she had the same date, I would be suspicious just simply because this has happened before it is not unheard of. It's crazy that these women think they will get away with killing someone and taking their baby. So so sad
ANNIE!!! IM BEGGING YOU TO COVER KRYSTAL CANDELARIO!!!! This baby girl deserves to at the very least have her story heard by the entire world! It is truly vile and has kept me up for days!
That case made me so 😡
It's hard when there's not a trial bc there's not that much information or back story to present a "case study."
I feel so bad for the dad during his interview. I also have this problem that I laugh uncontrollably when it is least appropriate and I'm super anxious. Many people don't understand, unfortunately.
