@@brettbono9550There is no death penalty for being a "brat." Your words suggest a pre-schooler could be complicit or deserving of death.

More people having kids who have no business having kids (meaning the mother). Kids aren’t an accessory! They arent something you have because you want to have the “kid experience” or to check something off your life list. You have to love your children more than your hate for your spouse, more than your ego, more than your own feelings of bitterness. You HAVE to KNOW, life is good, until it isn’t. If you don’t have the selflessness you need to love a child properly… just don’t do it. It’s infuriating people acting like kids are accessories.
Coming from a highly dysfunctional home with an absent biological father and then two step fathers in the first twelve years of my life. These were all very selfish, self-centered, abusive people. It is hard for me to fathom that parents actually truly love their children since I never experienced it. If someone can't love a pet or a child more than themselves, they should not have pets or children.

This brings me to tears... What a horrible thing to do to your own little boy! I could never understand! And using your child as a pawn - just pathetic. When I left my husband in a cotentious divorce, we didn't even speak of the children. It's a given that the problems between the grown - ups stay between the grown - ups, and in front of the children we're still a united front. And the children spend one week with dad and one week with me, every other Christmas etc. The only loosers if you use your children as pawns are the children themselves. Now my boys have grown into successful young adults and I'm very proud of them. And proud of us and that we managed the situation correctly.
😯😲🙏🏻Holy crap... As I was reading your comment I got chills all over my body and then I started tearing up ! This is the way it should always be, we should ALL ACT CONGENIAL, LOVING, KIND AND PROFESSIONAL in font of children, family, strangers and in front of all pets. Parting ways does NOT mean losing your respect for yourself, your family and your children. I am so very proud of the way you and your husband handled yourselves. ❤
@@arleneportsmouth1263 Thank you so much for that. It means the world to me. It was very difficult, but I never said a bad word about my husband to my children and vice versa. We always told them that mom and dad loves them with all our hearts no matter what. We never dicussed bad things in front of them and acted like adults. And seeing our children flourish was everything I ever wanted. After all - he was a horrible husband - but a fantastic father. And taking the children away from him as "punishment" would ruin my children the most. My children are 24 and 26 now and I couldn't be more proud. They are well educated, have good jobs, and my youngest have found himself a darling of a girlfriend. I'm so proud of the choices we made back then. If just ONE parent could read this story and think of the outcome before they use their children as pawns against an ex, I have done my job. But if you alienate your children from the other parent - the only parent they'll grow up to despise is you. (Not you, Arlene! Just an example!) Thank you so much for replying to my post! Have a lovely summer! Love from Norway. 😄🙏❤️🇧🇻
Thank you for keeping it classy and respectful, your sons must be grateful growing up not having to doubt their own image because mom and dad showed divorce doesnt have to be ugly as shown..at the end of the day you are still a family even if not together, there is blood and memories shared. You guys rock !
Same. My ex husband and I put the children first. I didn’t even accept alimony, child support or even half the house. I knew it would only make things more stressful for our children and we weren’t going to do that. We may not be married anymore but we will both always be their parents. They need both of us!!
I'm very proud of you, too. Everyone who reads your comment is very proud of you & your ex-husband. Your conduct is exemplary. Thank you. Not only for your children's sake, but it makes the entire world a lil brighter.
I believe anyone who can hurt any child mother or father doesn't deserve to live. We are suppose to love and care for our children. And always be there for them no matter what..
I’m glad she didn’t die bc she has to live with this everyday and get dog walked by the mothers in prison that actually love children despite their mistakes in life
Well may be you should look at the reasons those women are in prison, a whole lot for child abuse and murder of there children, and others crimes showing how little, if at all they cared for their children

I don't know how anyone could purposely hurt a child and look at themselves in the mirror. Monsters truly walk among us and most of them look normal.
How can she do this? Let alone to her own son?!? I've been through hell but never have I ever thought of doing something sinister to my own kids and I have 4. This just makes my heart wrench 😭 poor kid . So sorry you had to live your life so short and it ended in the most horrible way. 😢
*Oct. 28, 2021* "Ricky Dale Howard, a 60-year-old former bank president, was given the maximum sentence of 30 years for sexual exploitation of a child involving pornographic images he created of Caleb between July 1, 2010, and March 15, 2012, using a Gateway computer and an Acer laptop, according to court documents."
Ricky Dale Howard was convicted of se+ exploitation of a minor (Caleb Deil) and sentenced to 30 years. They found CP of Caleb going back to when he was 14 on his laptop computer along with other boys. The last update I could find shows he has two other cases pending regarding the other victims. It appears Caleb still hadn't been found as of 2022 and Ricky Dale Howard hasn't been charged in his disappearance or murder as of that time.
He has alot of property and wells . I hate to thi k what he did with his body. We know he got rid of him. He's possible a serial killer that has hired drifters on his farming and ranches. Sicko. Who are his other victims? Poor boys so sad
*I’ve always known it was Mr. Howard* I’ve followed the case for years. Idk maybe cuz I’m one of 5 kids as well; along w/ being the youngest & I kinda looked like Caleb when I was that age. Every 🚩 was there, but not much evidence…
Absolutely! I don’t think the kids should automatically go to the mothers. Social workers and judges need to look into the parents and where the child is safest, happiest and healthiest.
I can’t stand this defense attorney for Ricky Howard! I know our law says people are innocent until proven guilty and defense attorneys are needed but what a way to make a living.
RIP Daniel! I can't even tell you how tragic this is, I hope your monster gets every punishment in the book! I can't even fathom the pain going through your family at such a grieving loss! Fly high angel!
Why would the father throw out a smashed up cellphone without asking around whose it might be? Then there is the last person Caleb seen alive and he's not being interrogated? This is why I hate small town policing.
When I was really young, I lost a friend from church to a similar situation. His parents were divorcing because the father was abusive, and my friend and his sister got taken out of school one day by the dad (who was not on the list to check them out, and also wrote really concerning stuff as the reason for checking them out--the school system also really failed these kids). He murdered them rather than lose custody to their mom. The cops shot him on arrival. I was too young to entirely understand at the time, but I remember it really shaking my parents and the other parents at church. It's been decades, and I don't know what happened to my friend's mom--last I'd heard, there was a local charity in the kids' name--but I really hope she's doing well. As well as possible, anyway. Cases like this one really get to me. Children aren't possessions that people can just break when they're angry. It makes me livid when parents treat them that way.
Back in December 1999 in the Phoenix, AZ area, a man doused his 2-yo daughter with gasoline and set her on fire. She ran around in circles before collapsing and dying. It was horrendous. He initially received a death sentence, but that was eventually overturned, and he is serving life in prison.
I knew it was the mother right away ...and these nightmares are always about one parent punishing the other. It's hard to fathom people do this to an innocent. How does " love" go so wrong???
yeah i was like who the fuck is this guy he seems old enough to have didddled the newer didler prob shared there didling something was not right about that guy
What's sick is the way she did it too. And literally parents who killed their kids get less time than drug distributors and people who sell or use drugs should be getting the help that they need, not long sentences. It's heartbreaking. I wanna hug that kid. He had no chance at life being raised by that psychopath. His whole life was ahead of him and it was taken from him. To kill your child over jealousy of him bonding with his dad... what does that have to do with your son? If she killed the man, that would've been stupid as well but an easier pill to swallow. I guess she thought if I can't have my son to myself, no one can. Crazy
Fortunately I believe he just fell asleep then his respirations slowed and finally stopped. Thankfully he was gone before the fire so he didn’t feel that at all. So so sad all the way around
Defense attorneys must be really easy to beat. They don’t come up with rational arguments and try to fight the facts with word salad, or focus on ONE fact and not the pile of them pointing to the obvious culprit 🤦♀️
Unfortunately you're wrong. I am a born-again Christian and I'm not trying to prove anything to you, but the devil and demons do exist whether you like it or not and you know his greatest power is to trick people to think that he doesn't exist. You see he already got you
@@courtneyboudreau4284have you seen it? Have you met them? Have you been there? Just because you believe it, doesn't make it true. More pedophiles run/ work in churches than anywhere else in the world.
Unless their proper name ends with a Y sound, I rarely trust any adult who chooses to go by a Y ending name. You're 53, stop pretending you're 5. Just from personal experience 80+ % of the time they're not nice people!!
Well, she was a mother who clearly did. There are countless cases of mothers murdering their kids, just as their are fathers. Blaming it on demonic possession takes accountability away from the actual perpetrator's actions.
My husband and I took our sons from Fairfax, VA to OC, Maryland on an unplanned trip one January or Feburary. We had to buy clothes and swimsuits when we arrived, since were only intending to go out for the day. We all had so much fun. The boys (10 and 5) played at the edge of the ocean, built a sandcastle, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They are in their 30's now and still talk about that improptu trip. Some might consider taking young childen to the beach during winter reckless. They were constantly watched for any sign that they were too cold. And both count it as one of their favorite memories. For my family, OC, MD is a happy memory. How heartbreaking that a selfish and manipulative mother used a trip to the beach to kill her child. Simply evil.
I guess I'm jaded because I've watched true crime all my life, but the second family seemed off... before they even mentioned the ex-con was molesting other kids, I had a feeling he was a predator. Parents, if an adult takes a special interest in one of your children (especially if you have multiple), you need to pay attention. Predators are almost always someone you know, and do not trust that you are a good judge of character.
*I immediately fast-forwarded when I heard there was an update in the Caleb Diehl case* That man, Mr. Howard, is sick. Definitely a pedo & took Caleb’s life 🤍
There needs to be a word other than "mother" for women like this, they're not mothers, they merely grew some children. Why didn't she want to go to trial? What was she trying to hide?
There is absolutely nothing positive to take from a mother murdering her own son, but thank God he wasn't conscious to feel the pain of the fire. I hope he fell into a peaceful sleep, and had some nice dreams, after what that awful woman did to him, in his last moments.
In cases like this, after the mother is found guilty and charged with murder or attempted murder/child abuse, they should order the child's birth certificate to be legally changed (even if the child is dead) and remove the mothers (or fathers, if he committed the crime) name, especially if the child is still alive.
That is sick. How could she do that to her little boy. What an evil thing for her to do. She needs to rot in prison in misery for the rest of her life.
speculation on the second case...................... the 300$ attached to the steering wheel was a bribe because Caleb when he brought the truck back, Ricky wasnt in the barn, Caleb saw the computer, looked at what was on it, saw incriminating whatever and if itis true Ricky was a pedo, then Caleb might have seen child porn on it. Ricky either came in and caught him on the computer or Caleb told him what he saw, and said he was going to tell the police, Ricky tried to bribe him, Caleb said no, Ricky killed him, Also didnt they say Ricky had more than one property and if so did they check them all for Rickys body or signs of of the crime
Similar incident happened here in india ,the mom stabbed the son because she reminded him of her estranged husband,she was a scholar and had a phd if i remember correctly,but im sure that she graduated at the top of her class,she even said that she had no regrets.
To Caleb's family: I saw my oldest son in a casket and I still have a hard time accepting that he is gone. I'm so sorry for your family's enormous loss and not knowing where he is is as close to torture as it gets. 😢
When you make a common sense evaluation of what you know, you irrevocably conclude that Caleb is no longer alive. The one who knows more is " the friend" of the family!!
Never overly trust an adult who goes out of their way to spend time with your child or “help” them, especially one outside of the family. Common sense at this point

Obviously she thought the dad would get custody. So she did the worst thing possible unbelievable and disgusting.
This brings me to tears... What a horrible thing to do to your own little boy! I could never understand! And using your child as a pawn - just pathetic. When I left my husband in a cotentious divorce, we didn't even speak of the children. It's a given that the problems between the grown - ups stay between the grown - ups, and in front of the children we're still a united front. And the children spend one week with dad and one week with me, every other Christmas etc. The only loosers if you use your children as pawns are the children themselves. Now my boys have grown into successful young adults and I'm very proud of them. And proud of us and that we managed the situation correctly.
😯😲🙏🏻Holy crap... As I was reading your comment I got chills all over my body and then I started tearing up ! This is the way it should always be, we should ALL ACT CONGENIAL, LOVING, KIND AND PROFESSIONAL in font of children, family, strangers and in front of all pets. Parting ways does NOT mean losing your respect for yourself, your family and your children. I am so very proud of the way you and your husband handled yourselves. ❤
@@arleneportsmouth1263 Thank you so much for that. It means the world to me. It was very difficult, but I never said a bad word about my husband to my children and vice versa. We always told them that mom and dad loves them with all our hearts no matter what. We never dicussed bad things in front of them and acted like adults. And seeing our children flourish was everything I ever wanted. After all - he was a horrible husband - but a fantastic father. And taking the children away from him as "punishment" would ruin my children the most. My children are 24 and 26 now and I couldn't be more proud. They are well educated, have good jobs, and my youngest have found himself a darling of a girlfriend. I'm so proud of the choices we made back then. If just ONE parent could read this story and think of the outcome before they use their children as pawns against an ex, I have done my job. But if you alienate your children from the other parent - the only parent they'll grow up to despise is you. (Not you, Arlene! Just an example!) Thank you so much for replying to my post! Have a lovely summer! Love from Norway. 😄🙏❤️🇧🇻
Thank you for keeping it classy and respectful, your sons must be grateful growing up not having to doubt their own image because mom and dad showed divorce doesnt have to be ugly as shown..at the end of the day you are still a family even if not together, there is blood and memories shared. You guys rock !
Same. My ex husband and I put the children first. I didn’t even accept alimony, child support or even half the house. I knew it would only make things more stressful for our children and we weren’t going to do that. We may not be married anymore but we will both always be their parents. They need both of us!!
I'm very proud of you, too. Everyone who reads your comment is very proud of you & your ex-husband. Your conduct is exemplary. Thank you. Not only for your children's sake, but it makes the entire world a lil brighter.
Seems like he was right . She was a unfit mother . Maybe he wasnt using the kids as a pawn . He just knew she was a crazy itch
...that he married. I'm not saying he's as bad, AT ALL. But it does speak to his judgement.
@@Anabee3 would you say that if it was the other way around. I don’t think so.
Learn to spell.
I believe anyone who can hurt any child mother or father doesn't deserve to live. We are suppose to love and care for our children. And always be there for them no matter what..
Unless, of course, if the child grows up and becomes a monster.
Lazy virtue signaling. Mention they don't deserve life, but are not willing to do it yourself.

The kid is very unlucky to have such parent, really just feel sorry for him😢
HOW can you do that to a little kid?
Regardless if he’s yours.🤦♀️
Some predators only SA other people's children. Some only their own. Some don't discriminate at all.
There are a lot of sick twisted garbage people out there as so many are never reported.
I don't know how anyone could purposely hurt a child and look at themselves in the mirror.
Monsters truly walk among us and most of them look normal.
How can she do this? Let alone to her own son?!? I've been through hell but never have I ever thought of doing something sinister to my own kids and I have 4. This just makes my heart wrench 😭 poor kid . So sorry you had to live your life so short and it ended in the most horrible way. 😢
So she got out the burning car maybe even a little on fire but she managed to lock the doors behind her before she fell to the pavement in pain ??

"Ricky Dale Howard, a 60-year-old former bank president, was given the maximum sentence of 30 years for sexual exploitation of a child involving pornographic images he created of Caleb between July 1, 2010, and March 15, 2012, using a Gateway computer and an Acer laptop, according to court documents."
😡 This is sickening!
@@Seashelle564 👍
Ricky Dale Howard was convicted of se+ exploitation of a minor (Caleb Deil) and sentenced to 30 years. They found CP of Caleb going back to when he was 14 on his laptop computer along with other boys. The last update I could find shows he has two other cases pending regarding the other victims. It appears Caleb still hadn't been found as of 2022 and Ricky Dale Howard hasn't been charged in his disappearance or murder as of that time.
Thanks for the update. You saved me from looking it up. Poor Caleb
He has alot of property and wells . I hate to thi k what he did with his body. We know he got rid of him. He's possible a serial killer that has hired drifters on his farming and ranches. Sicko. Who are his other victims? Poor boys so sad
Wow, so sad.
*I’ve always known it was Mr. Howard* I’ve followed the case for years. Idk maybe cuz I’m one of 5 kids as well; along w/ being the youngest & I kinda looked like Caleb when I was that age. Every 🚩 was there, but not much evidence…
I wonder why Caleb said he was going to see a friend that wasn’t even in town…There’s *A LOT* more to this whole story…
It's crazy that mothers like this have more parental rights than normal fathers
Thats a lie when will a murderous mother have custody of her kids?
Absolutely! I don’t think the kids should automatically go to the mothers. Social workers and judges need to look into the parents and where the child is safest, happiest and healthiest.

Estrada is a bottom feeder. He knows he's defending a monster. How could he not!
That's an attorney's job.
How do people say these kids are in a better place. This little guy is dead. He has nothing let alone something better.
He’s making excuses for his client, which is utterly reprehensible.
Just what the HELL is wrong with people?!?!
I can’t stand this defense attorney for Ricky Howard! I know our law says people are innocent until proven guilty and defense attorneys are needed but what a way to make a living.
He was trying to get himself and his son away from a monster. I'm sure this wasn't the first horrible thing the Dad had witnessed her doing. 😢
RIP Daniel! I can't even tell you how tragic this is, I hope your monster gets every punishment in the book! I can't even fathom the pain going through your family at such a grieving loss! Fly high angel!
Why would the father throw out a smashed up cellphone without asking around whose it might be? Then there is the last person Caleb seen alive and he's not being interrogated? This is why I hate small town policing.
They’re talking about the second story not the little boy who was killed
@@Jessicad9304 oh my goodness, ok 👍 thanks for letting me know 👍
I agree. I want to know how this man with kids lived a double life of sleeping with boys. I bet his computer 🖥️ that was burn was child porn of boys
It wasn’t the father who threw out the cell phone, it was Ricky who is a family friend of the boy who went missing.
You’re blaming an innocent man because you lack basic comprehension skills LMFAO 🤣.
Pure evil...poor baby boy💔😢😢😢.

Mother was a psycho

she doesn’t deserved to be called a mother, she is a monster
I have no words for this Horrific Tragedy, R.I.H Little one in the arms of the Angels in Heaven. Im so so so sorry for what you went through.
When I was really young, I lost a friend from church to a similar situation. His parents were divorcing because the father was abusive, and my friend and his sister got taken out of school one day by the dad (who was not on the list to check them out, and also wrote really concerning stuff as the reason for checking them out--the school system also really failed these kids). He murdered them rather than lose custody to their mom. The cops shot him on arrival. I was too young to entirely understand at the time, but I remember it really shaking my parents and the other parents at church. It's been decades, and I don't know what happened to my friend's mom--last I'd heard, there was a local charity in the kids' name--but I really hope she's doing well. As well as possible, anyway. Cases like this one really get to me. Children aren't possessions that people can just break when they're angry. It makes me livid when parents treat them that way.
Back in December 1999 in the Phoenix, AZ area, a man doused his 2-yo daughter with gasoline and set her on fire. She ran around in circles before collapsing and dying. It was horrendous. He initially received a death sentence, but that was eventually overturned, and he is serving life in prison.
May she be reincarnated into a wonderful family.
I knew it was the mother right away ...and these nightmares are always about one parent punishing the other. It's hard to fathom people do this to an innocent. How does " love" go so wrong???
The story at the end with missing teen, that defense attorney is a piece of crap
Look in a mirror, and try that again. 💩
How frightened he must ha e been...I can only imagine.
I'm a new mom and these cases have become harder to hear. I can't imagine someone doing this to their own flesh and blood.
Ugg, Ricky's atty Bob Estrada is an enabler... think about that... the boy says nothing... blaming victims... disgusting
Please bring Calep home. 😢 If you see something say something. praying for the family. Be strong. I remember this case.😢❤
That lawyer does more to prove that guy’s guilt with every lame excuse he comes up with.
I'm from that area, close by and he is about the most crooked lawyer in town.
yeah i was like who the fuck is this guy he seems old enough to have didddled the newer didler prob shared there didling something was not right about that guy
What's sick is the way she did it too. And literally parents who killed their kids get less time than drug distributors and people who sell or use drugs should be getting the help that they need, not long sentences. It's heartbreaking. I wanna hug that kid. He had no chance at life being raised by that psychopath. His whole life was ahead of him and it was taken from him. To kill your child over jealousy of him bonding with his dad... what does that have to do with your son? If she killed the man, that would've been stupid as well but an easier pill to swallow. I guess she thought if I can't have my son to myself, no one can. Crazy
What a horrible excuse for a mother….So truly heartbreaking 💔😔🙏🏾
I pray that poor precious child didn't suffer. 😢😢
Of course he did.
Suffered for 2 hours before his death !!!!😢
Even if prayers could change that, it's too late 😕
Fortunately I believe he just fell asleep then his respirations slowed and finally stopped. Thankfully he was gone before the fire so he didn’t feel that at all. So so sad all the way around
How can defense attorneys sleep at night😮
This is wonderful. Thank goodness for that caring mother. We need more people like her. So, heartwarming.
The mother is a monster
The mother is a angel. 💖
Ppl who do horrible things like this shouldn’t b allowed 2 have children

That’s so wrong that a parent would rather kill their child just to hurt and get back at the other parent. Who tf does that
@mmaggiehartt- Look in a mirror and ask that again. Take a shower.
What a thing to do to your own child. A 5 year old. What's wrong with this fen world

👏 my names Daniel and ima cancer survivor and he’s watching over u I died three times from cancer and was in a 3 day coma
ridiculous how these freaking parents murder their children!!!!! freaking demonic
What kind of older grown man still calls himself Ricky?
Ricky Ricardo
Unless their proper name ends with a Y sound, I rarely trust any adult who chooses to go by a Y ending name. You're 53, stop pretending you're 5.
Just from personal experience 80+ % of the time they're not nice people!!
How?! How do you do that to your child?! That's gotta be demonic possession bc no mother could even think about that!!!
It makes it easier to try and blame stuff on demons, but it's just awful people/mental instability/etc.
@sophiophile it can be but no its not "easier" it's reality unfortunately sometimes
She wanted to get back at her husband. Apparently her urge for revenge was stronger than her love for her child.
Well, she was a mother who clearly did. There are countless cases of mothers murdering their kids, just as their are fathers. Blaming it on demonic possession takes accountability away from the actual perpetrator's actions.
@fishbonesxx I'm not saying she actually was I'm saying that it's so infathomable that it's evil
My husband and I took our sons from Fairfax, VA to OC, Maryland on an unplanned trip one January or Feburary.
We had to buy clothes and swimsuits when we arrived, since were only intending to go out for the day.
We all had so much fun. The boys (10 and 5) played at the edge of the ocean, built a sandcastle, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They are in their 30's now and still talk about that improptu trip.
Some might consider taking young childen to the beach during winter reckless. They were constantly watched for any sign that they were too cold. And both count it as one of their favorite memories.
For my family, OC, MD is a happy memory. How heartbreaking that a selfish and manipulative mother used a trip to the beach to kill her child. Simply evil.
What is wrong with people these days?? We hear so much parents killing their children and children killing their parents 😢

I guess I'm jaded because I've watched true crime all my life, but the second family seemed off... before they even mentioned the ex-con was molesting other kids, I had a feeling he was a predator. Parents, if an adult takes a special interest in one of your children (especially if you have multiple), you need to pay attention. Predators are almost always someone you know, and do not trust that you are a good judge of character.
That little boy is truly in heaven and now is in a very safe place .
*I immediately fast-forwarded when I heard there was an update in the Caleb Diehl case* That man, Mr. Howard, is sick. Definitely a pedo & took Caleb’s life 🤍
@TightyWhiteyTrash- Please look in a mirror. Oh the irony in that username and picture profile. LMAO
There needs to be a word other than "mother" for women like this, they're not mothers, they merely grew some children.
Why didn't she want to go to trial? What was she trying to hide?
Now that little boy is in heaven with Jesus.. where his mom will never hurt him again... your loved and safe now little one... ❤️
Yes, amen. 🙏✝️
Ugh. The delusion.
There is absolutely nothing positive to take from a mother murdering her own son, but thank God he wasn't conscious to feel the pain of the fire. I hope he fell into a peaceful sleep, and had some nice dreams, after what that awful woman did to him, in his last moments.
Am really starting to not be able to wait to get out of this horrible world.
You are not alone
Just seeing this. I hope you have someone you can talk to. Life can be tough sometimes and it's good to talk with someone. Hope you have done that
In cases like this, after the mother is found guilty and charged with murder or attempted murder/child abuse, they should order the child's birth certificate to be legally changed (even if the child is dead) and remove the mothers (or fathers, if he committed the crime) name, especially if the child is still alive.
Why do they keep saying They used this boy as a pawn he was. Right to try and get custody as u can see she killed her own child
Because the father was also a total creep who was indeed using the child as a pawn as well.
That is sick. How could she do that to her little boy. What an evil thing for her to do. She needs to rot in prison in misery for the rest of her life.
She was not trying to turn off the fire the gas got on her hands and she said herself on fire by mistake
33:46, that defense attorney's smile says everything
What an evil and vile parent. Why ? Why ? The child ? He had done nothing at all I am crying for this child
speculation on the second case...................... the 300$ attached to the steering wheel was a bribe because Caleb when he brought the truck back, Ricky wasnt in the barn, Caleb saw the computer, looked at what was on it, saw incriminating whatever and if itis true Ricky was a pedo, then Caleb might have seen child porn on it. Ricky either came in and caught him on the computer or Caleb told him what he saw, and said he was going to tell the police, Ricky tried to bribe him, Caleb said no, Ricky killed him, Also didnt they say Ricky had more than one property and if so did they check them all for Rickys body or signs of of the crime
Similar incident happened here in india ,the mom stabbed the son because she reminded him of her estranged husband,she was a scholar and had a phd if i remember correctly,but im sure that she graduated at the top of her class,she even said that she had no regrets.
To Caleb's family: I saw my oldest son in a casket and I still have a hard time accepting that he is gone. I'm so sorry for your family's enormous loss and not knowing where he is is as close to torture as it gets. 😢
When you make a common sense evaluation of what you know, you irrevocably conclude that Caleb is no longer alive.
The one who knows more is " the friend" of the family!!
Never overly trust an adult who goes out of their way to spend time with your child or “help” them, especially one outside of the family. Common sense at this point
Poor Caleb’s mom. Did they ever find him?
THEY WERENT USING THE SON AS A PAWN.... his father was trying to get his own son away from a cold blooded narcissist that couldn't stomach not having her victims husband and son under her control anymore ....
Howard family must know something.
