If you ever have to tell someone 'if I'm ever murdered it was my wife". You may want you get out of the relationship and the state.
This continually baffles me. "If anything ever happens to me, investigate my wife (husband)." Where other people get divorced if they have too many fights, these people stay with the spouse even at the risk of being murdered. WTF?
"well....she might kill me, but she makes some pretty good waffles.....worth the risk."
@@notyourdamnbusiness8795 lol. That'd be tough. A real hottie who treats you amazing and makes the best food but seems like she may snap on you one day. Search her internet history and its all serial killer stuff and violent porn lol.
@@privard89 i mean.....that would probably be mostly my search history and i can say with confidence that i have no intentions to hurt anybody ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
@@notyourdamnbusiness8795 Just stop! 😆😅🤣😂
Since Lois killed a woman who resembled her and then assumed her identity, I doubt it was due to psychosis, and more due to greed and a gambling addiction. I think option #3 was spot on.
She apparently had already targeted a new victim in South Padre island, another woman her age whom she was supposed to meet again at a restaurant, but thankfully the police caught her and her new "friend" was left waiting at the restaurant wondering where she was.
9am Monday in Ireland and I am laughing at Dr Grande’s horror movie ideas about wax worms that escape from a farm and eat all the plastic in the world .Great start to the week! Thank you.
Right! Me too.
I can see the wax worms growing more frightening as they continue eating up all the plastic in the world.
"I'd call the police but wax worms ate my phone." Lol
This comment is gold 👏👏👏♥️
Maybe the giant wax worms eat New York City. Chomp chomp!
I love how you actually talked about wax worm biology. As a biologist, I’m so here for that.
Check out penis worms.
It's cool that they can eat plastic!
As a biologist, I’m like so totally stoked!
(I’m playin. 😂😂😂. I couldn’t help it. No offense intended. Hopefully none taken!)
I felt like he was doing a movie pitch in the hopes one of his fans is a hollywood person lol
Ok but I want to hear about the rest of the movie. I got invested. Do the worms get caught? Do we ever have plastic again? Do we find alternative materials? I need closure now!
Nami I need closure ASAP🤣🤣
I'm spellbound now. I can't stop watching.
Oh, I feel sorry for her adult children and her grandchildren.
Man, this sense of humor on this guy. 😂😂😂
I come for the case analysis, and stay for the calm monotone shade thrown at people right and left 😂 love this channel
I love this, I think that's a great slogan 👏👏
My favorite part about this is realizing that even mental health specialists totally fall down rabbit holes, too.
Now that's some street cred.
👍
Loved the wax worm tangent! I personally imagined a Madame Tussauds style waxworks museum where wax worms are dressed up as famous figures from history.🐛
It is incredible that a person says to someone "if anything happens to me look at my wife"!! WHY would you continue to live with someone, if you cannot trust them and believe they COULD and MIGHT kill you??? This should be a wake up call that you need to move out!! I have heard this statement mentioned many times in murder trials and wondered why the person (who is obviously dead now, did not move out). It baffles me, that a person would continue living with their soon to be killer!!
This is a good example of just how devoid of logic and self preservation a victim of abuse becomes. The damage isnt only physical. It often ends up psychologically manipulating the victim into appearing to the outside world. Just as crazy and delusional as their abuser describes them as, when deflecting responsibility or using the "you made me do this" defense.
In some cases, that's truly not an option. That's kind of victim blaming.
I've heard that phrase many times in true crime stories, if anything happens to me look at my.... There are multi-layered reasons that would cause them to stay. Just leaving is not some simple thing, as you seem to think it is.
thought the same
@@theheartsystem6206 you can victim blame if the victim is being dumb..how can you sleep near someone who you thinks wants to kill you.. that’s absurd
They left the gate open and the worms escaped? Perfect horror film material!😅
Dr. Grande definitely needs to write that waxworth worm horror screenplay!
Having had a mother who was a compulsive gambler (now deceased) I can see how this can happen.
Dateline did 2 hours episode about this woman. It was crazy...one of the few episodes of dateline that I will not forget.
People! Hit the like button. We know you viewed it and there is no way you didn’t like it. Wax worm horror movie pitch was sublime.
I completely agree! I often like right at the start and can always change it afterwards, i never change it though, because Dr Grande is excellent!
You're right, the pitch has blockbuster potential 😅!! But 'liking' videos about horrific murders - there would have to be some form of redemption or humanity thing going on for me to press the 'like' button on such a story - it's the views that count anyways, or has that changed
@@ember1794 To my knowledge comments count the most (so, guess you’re ok), likes second and views third.
@@isabellaleifsdottir Ah, I see, thanks!!
Yes, A good horror story...wax-worms the size of a bus, and growing...!
2 min into this, after learning that waxworms can eat anything including plastics, I'm prrrrrreetty sure someone's getting fed to the worms.
This is truly one of the most WACKY true crimes stories. It's... WACK. A homicidal gambling addict grandma, murder, identity theft, fishing.
Yea, and don't forget those 'twilight zone' plastic munching worms.
This lady is the Lois common denominator.
LMFAO, SHE HAD TOLD EVERYONE SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF HER HUSBAND, IN REALITY SHE HAD ACTUALLY "TAKEN CARE OF HIM" you are one funny guy Dr Grande.
In 1971 "Mutant 59:The Plastic Eater" by Pedler and Davis was published. Not a wax worm threat, but rather a bacteria disaster, if I remember correctly.
Always good added value! Thanks!
That dry humour gets me every time. Found myself giggling alone in my office like a deranged maniac.🙈😂😂😂
For me it's not just the dry dark humour, it's all that combined with a straight blank face, no change in tone or emphasis, to contrast between case facts and the jokes. It always reminds me of serial killer interviews where they describe the grusome details of their crimes like they are making small talk, iscussing the weather, or why their favour colour is blue. ive often wondered if that's the reason he does it.
@@LoziPop good observation. I do appreciate that he makes jokes. It lightens up the content a bit.
As a giggling woman, It's highly likely you are a deranged maniac... I recommend Dr. Grande should evaluate you...
Teehee
I thought at the beginning of this video that I detected a few slight smiles from Dr. Grande. I knew he had a doozy coming!
Her gambling played a huge part in this. I think more so than some psychosis theory, which really hasn't been proven. Gambling is an addiction and addicts will often do what seems like psychotic behavior, but it is only the drive to keep gambling. So many of her actions before and after the murders centered around the availability to gamble. In fact all of them pointed to her ability to continue to gamble! The addiction was so strong that she was willing to kill for it. I feel Dr Grande should have addressed the gambling more than the alluded to, but not concretely proven, mental health issues. Because someone is addicted to gambling does not necessarily mean they have severe mental health problems.
I have my own worm farm. I’ve never heard of wax worms but if they can eat plastic, that would scare the hell out of the housewives of Beverly hills. Louise is a wrecking ball 4 sure causing mass destruction wherever she goes., thank you doc, this was an eye opener👍🏻
they would have no faces
Thanks so much for delving into the waxworm tangent. One of my favorite things about doing research is going down rabbit holes (my bosses, not so much).
Why don't people leave or report spouses or friends who they suspect are going to do harm? How many times have we heard, "If I disappear/die so-and-so did it"? And honestly, why would you tell a woman who has proven herself to be seriously unbalanced to "do it right this time"?!
Another winner 🏆
A great analysis. Ganbling away her sizeable inheritance couples with her family history and her immoral use of her sisters money should have been a big wake up call that there a metal health problems that need addressing. Sad for the 2 folks she murdered in cold blood, their families and friends.
Your wax worm farm apocalypse movie idea is a great premise and could make for a wickedly fun horror/comedy film! 😎👍
when's the movie coming out? I'm in! Love the idea of waxworms escaping through an open gate... presumably a tiny, waxworm sized gate :)
This wax worm sci-fi story sounds intriguing. Maybe Dr Grande's next book will be a collection of sci-fi stories, featuring alien-lizards, plastic eating worms, etcetera 😀
😆😆
Remember, lizards eat waxworms!! The lizards can be the good guys and the the waxworms can be the bad guys!!
Dr.Grande, please discuss the Phillip Markoff (Craigslist Killer/medical student) case from around 2009. A lot to analyze.
I think he already did.
@@Reeeeeee12345 No he didn't. I checked.
@@Reeeeeee12345 this must be the Mandela effect, cause I also remember him doing Phillip Markoff 🙃
dont get me wrong: what to analyze?dude needed money, robbed hookers, killed on of them in the process. doesnt seem that complicated.
@@notyourdamnbusiness8795 Lot's of young people have a lot of debt, but would never hurt anyone to pay it.
Especially someone of his background. He was known as a nice gifted medical student. Also, he was secretly bi-sexual and into bdsm.They found evidence of that on his laptop.Analyzing people living double-lives is always interesting.
Geez, I’ve heard of addictions getting out of control but this is on another level.
Also, always endearing to see Dr. Grande falling down rabbit holes
Oh Dr. G!!! "Even though these worms are are very prosocial and environmentally responsible..." Where DO you come up with these? Priceless.
Doc G! You are very entertaining and informative. Always a favorite part of my day.
Alright Dr. Grande, I think it’s about time to have a YT shorts to compile all these gems that you come up with, the wax worm tangent was just awesome!😂
Between this channel and your podcast, you have more than enough material already!
Anyways, how scary it is to think that this woman looks like just any other grandma. I guess we never know for sure what people are capable of.
Great video as usual, thank you Dr. Grande.❤️

Could you please do a talk about “imposter syndrome “. I truly appreciate your insights and skills of speaking to average people about every day issues. My grown daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and her talk therapist has talked about imposter syndrome. I want to help my daughter navigate life with these issues. Thank you for sharing your abilities.
I smile multiple times throughout your videos on rather serious topics. Thank you, Dr. Grande! 😊
Comic relief!
It would’ve been a work of comedic genius if once you went on the Wax Worm movie tangent you spend the rest of the time talking about it and ended the video without ever getting back to the case. 😀 please do something like this on April 1st. 🧐🤣
Fucking bump for April 1st video of Dr. Grande riffing about nonsense in deadpan for 20 minutes!!!! Fucking genius!!!
😆
I'm gonna steal that one - pure genius - gotta respect a good prank 🤪
This is not the first murderous, gambling granny I've seen. Dr Grande, would you do an analysis of Gunman Charles Carl Roberts IV , the man that killed the five Amish school girls in 2006 in Pennsylvania. He seemed like a happy family man that just suddenly went crazy a couple of weeks before the attack, It's hard to understand how, and why this happened...thanks.
That would be very interesting 🤔
This case still makes me cry, especially when I think about how forgiving and loving the victims' families were toward the shooter's family when people harassed them. We should all aspire to be so loving.
That’s a good one.
Prozac and all SSRIs are common used by shooters and soudain killers.
In your next book please write about the wax worm farm apocalypse. I'd love to read it!
You have such a talent for story telling! Who else could have us giggling about this strange woman, and worms 🪱 🤔! PEACE
Thanks for your analysis Dr. Grande. Very sad that someone that has addictions could kill their husband and someone who looks like them to try to get their identity. It has to be more than addiction that could develop into murder. Mental disorders need to be taken seriously! TFS
That dark plaid shirt is awesome. So was the waxworm tangent.
I assume this will be a new Disney movie. Family oriented and shows elders in s favorable light
Well the Tommy and Pam sex tape series is showing on Disney plus in Australia. So Any thing is possible.
Oh my word, you are too funny! Murder is stressful, even for the the perpetrator! 🤣
The wax worm film, i think, would be improved if they could be zombies. That way, they stay worms and won't metamorfis- metamorpha- metamorphin- change into moths! 🤭😊
I work in the reptile/fish/bird/rodent department at a pet store. I clicked on this video immediatly because not many people know what waxworms are 😂
That's a crazy mix of critters. I guess they have separate cages though.
You bettcha!
@@deanwright7611 lol yeah no mixing those species.
You've got to make that film Dr Grande! 😁
Excellent video as always, many thanks! 🙂
After publishing a few books Dr. G.'s next project will be a screenplay. Cool 😎🤙
There's no way Dave handed the woman he was afraid of a loaded pistol. This was obviously Lois's pitiful attempt to gain sympathy.
Addiction doesn't make someone a murderer. It's a stressor and it can be the trigger for already bad people to do bad things. The primary cause here was Lois's lack of empathy and I'm glad your analysis aligns with this because too many people are prepared to blame addiction for violent behaviour. I've known many addicts who, though far from perfect, owned their addiction and their suffering and maintained an ethical line past which they wouldn't go.
Hey Dr Grande, I always wondered: how long does it take for you to research any given topic? At this point, you're just pumping out the videos, and your work ethic is quite inspiring! Thanks for the analysis, I've been working with alcoholics and addicts recently but I don't know anyone who has a gambling addiction. Recovery is certainly possible but it takes admitting that there's a problem. That's the first step. I don't know if that was in the cards in this case.
Two women I knew had (still have?) gambling addictions. To the point of committing small crimes to get money to gamble with. It's a degenerate's past time.
Go ahead degenerates, try to change my mind.
@@forrestgreene1139 In the same way a drug addiction drives people to crime, gambling addiction will warp people the same way.
@@forrestgreene1139 people content with their life or themselves don't gamble. I don't think labelling them all degenerates is at all helpful. There's a big link between suicide and gambling addiction, people are so ashamed and see no way out of the debt they think it's their only option. Stigmatising comments like yours don't help!
Dr Grande covered this topic in one of his videos, one of the milestone videos I think, he gave away all his tips for time and production management, it's really good.
@@forrestgreene1139 I'm in recovery, and I'm going to celebrate 3 years of sobriety on March 4th. I try to focus on what I can do right now instead of the past and the shame that comes with it. I'm not perfect and I've messed up many times. However, I'm also back in school and in my senior year. I'm applying to grad school to get my masters in social work. I'm getting married in October. People can change, but I had to do it for myself. I'm worthy of love and I got my second chance, I have no intentions of throwing it away. To anyone suffering, there's hope.
Hey Dr. Grande, congrats on 1m subscribers! Unbelievable but totally deserved! Now for 2 milion!! 😊 😍
Also can you please cover the case of Breanna Nix, would love to hear your thoughts on this case xx 😘
Silver lining to this story is wax worms won't be going hungry any time soon!
Really enjoyed your tangent and this unusual case. Lois appeared to be the least likely murderer I can imagine. I wonder what happened to the waxworms?
They had to nuke them. They might've eaten all the plastic!
Probably somebody got a good deal on them.
You can count on Dr. Grande's fans to ask about the worms!🐛
Hello Dr. Grande❣️ Thank you for the new video!! I'm currently in the hospital right now & feeling really bad. So I was absolutely elated to see a new video from you!! Thank you so so much🙏
Wishing you speedy recovery.💐
@@bthomson ~THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!! THEY MEAN MORE TO ME THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW!! BY THE WAY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ❣️
I say this with 100% honesty… I am near certain that there actually is some wacky sci-if film about killer worms. I feel as if I stumbled upon it on the sci-fi network years ago - it was so odd, I questioned whether I’d been inadvertently drugged to be seeing such an odd plot. Whether or not they were wax worms. That I cannot tell you.
I was thinking of Tremors or Slither but with an eco angle 😁
There's Attack of the Giant Leeches, which is a somewhat gory 50s B movie, not works but worm-like 🤔😂
😆
Squirm
Squirm!
I think if you're telling friends if anything happens to me, my spouse did it; maybe it's time to get out of the relationship.
Absolutely love your wax worm horror story tangent! I had no idea such a critter existed so yes, you do learn something new everyday. Fascinating and excellent presentation as always. Thank you Dr Grande ❤
Perfect timing!!! I was just binge watching your videos and then BOOM! You uploaded and my night is made😁 Thanks for more awesome content 🙏💛
YT's hardest working content creator strikes again. Thanks Dr. G
Best story I’ve seen so far. I watched it all the way through 😊
I learn something new with every video, Dr Grande. Thank you again for the incredible work ethic and never lackluster upload schedule. 🤗
Dr grande will always be my favorite doctor, comedian and true crime master.
I have to say your forensic analysis are some of my favorites!
Ok! When do we get Dr. Grande's animated short stories on a sub channel? I would watch that worm story
I used to raise rabbits for 4-H and as a side job I also raised worms that ate their waste. Quite a system. I made more from the worms than I ever did from the rabbits.
Heads up Dr. Grande Wax worms are typically sold in PLASTIC CUPS all it would take is a few Hangry worms and you got yourself a movie! 😆
Whar a horrible case, and to think she was in charge of caring for children.... It's the likable killers that are the most frightening!
On a lighter note, I love your Wax Worm horror movie idea! 😅"The wax worms ate my phone." ;D
I love my Friday night Dr. grande video binge!!!
Thanks for the presentation and analysis.
I'm definitely going with number 1.. Gambling addiction is a very powerful drug.
I am disturbed about this one more than the others.
Her husband really made the American dream come true. Wax worms. Brilliant!
Good man !! I can't help wanting to wish her the worst that life has to offer.
Sympathy for the murdered lady too.
I am disturbed about this one too. What kind of "pain" did she have that made her murder 2 people? Look at all the abused wives that endure beatings and verbal abuse and all they try to do is leave and their crazy husbands stalk them and try to kill them. This murderous grandma had an easy life, she was just selfish and greedy and used the idea of mental pain to justify her crimes.
Dr. Grande, your sense of humor is delightful. 😊
When you talked about wax worms I originally wondered if Madame Tussards was branching out!
If you put "Wax Worm Apocalypse" on a large shirt, I will buy one! 🤣😅😂
I find the way she smiles so seemingly good-naturedly in her mugshots is really off-putting.
i love how he doesn't change his tone and keep a straight face while making a joke
Happy 50th Birthday, Dr Grande. Have a great day, from Melbourne Australia.
Love your analysis. I watch everyday^^
Thank you for sharing!
Those straight-faced "tangents" crack me up 😆
OMG I'm in love with you Dr. Grande. Your sense of humor slays me (in a good way of course).
Thank you ❤️
*Dr. Grande...*
*WOW !!!* Great work as usual. We are all eagerly awaiting your follow up video titled :
*Gambling Grandmother Trusts a Fart | How Soiled Panties Ended Up in the Neighbor's Bushes 🤔... 👵😜💨🎶💩... 😳🤧*
If I were a gambling man, I would bet 2 dollars that a video like that is guaranteed to generate an interesting dialogue in the comments section. 💵💵😳
*"NUFF SAID"™*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great content and awesome dry sense of humor! Tragic story and thank you very much for the info and content!
Gambling Ruins lives every Year and yet we get no movement to stop it. It will always be a Cancer on society.. We look the other way.
Other addictions are bad too...drugs or alcohol, but it's up to the addicts to search out the help & stop, as there are plenty of places that help. Our country is full of vices, bad habits, mental issues unfortunately.
@@zenawarrior7442 We make a real Fetish out of Gambling and build there Kitschy Towns and Casinos with "Shows" to lure people in. It's criminal really.
@@robertgiles9124 Not really. It's up to each person to control their vices. What about lotto etc? It's part of life unfortunately.
@@zenawarrior7442 Oh Baloney; you don't need to tempt people who are going to ruin their lives. Get real. You're not dealing with a full deck there "Zena"
Dr . Grande do you ever ROTFL from your research or commentary remarks!!?! 🤣🤣🤣 . I love it!! Thank you for the dedication and time in these stories!!! ❤
Excellent content as usual!
Your horror story made me burst out laughing it was surprising 🤣 as usual great analysis dr 👍🏻
Now what’s going on? This sounds like a good one. Thanks for all these stories and excellent analyses, Grande … They mean a lot to me.
Great tangent and insightful riff. Thank you!!
I thought I was going to die laughing when Dr Grande started talking about waxworms!
Dr. Grande sounds like you have the story line for your next book. 🤔 Thank you for another in depth video.
Soothing aesthetic as always.
The waxworms would have to be like, irradiated into mutation or something, they’re pretty innocuous in reality. And tiny. I like where you’re going with it though 🤣🤣
Interesting presentation, well done.
Good Monday morning Dr. Grande!
Driving highway 1 passing the beautiful redwoods,listening to you & enjoying my coffee!
There are several casinos in Northern Ca.near me.
Ya know, there are very small signs that say..
“Thank you for your donation” ( wink)
If some only realize, casinos are there to generate revenue for the tribe...not so much for the players, also take note, you won’t see any tribal members, or Native Americans gambling.
Why a woman like she could not have looked at her own family, considered them before donating her money & others life’s & money the way that she did?
I don’t know about this addiction, seems mighty powerful though!
The parking lots are always full..
Happy Valentine's Day Dr. Grande!🌵❤
OMG Dr.Grande you are getting funnier! Almost fell off my chair with your wax worm joke!
Could you please share your knowledge about the existence of imposter syndrome ?My grown daughter has been diagnosed with bipolar disease and imposter syndrome has been mentioned by her talk therapist. I totally respect your point of view and clear interpretation of subject matter. Thank you for sharing your time and work with everyday issues.
I cant imagine gambling away half a million. Whats to win? Youre already way ahead.
True. Some narcissistic or mentally ill people never are happy with what they have, only with getting more unfortunately 😕
If you give a crazy person a gun during a disagreement you are asking for trouble.
Dr. Grande,
I especially loved the in depth analysis (and speculation) on the wax worms.
I love your movie idea!
Love from frozen Canada! 🇨🇦
Oh my God, the wax worms got out.
Quick call the police, I would but the wax worms ate my phone! lol
Dr grande is a riot!
