Then he's a little less polite when he says "not surprisingly, Angie quickly moved on with her love life"😅 after she married right after her insurance payout!
we had a case in Italy... a woman "committed suic*de" by closing herself into garbage bags and throwing herself in a parking lot behind her home (...) and somehow she even managed to delete every fingerprint from the plastic bags (sure...). Just in the same days she was going to leave her husband to stay with her long time lover. The husband provided 2 alibi, both false, cleaned the washer machine with chlorine, his car, gave away a lot of her stuff the very next day, 3 weeks before the corpse was found (so when she was just disappeared, not "dead"). Ten years before the daughter of her husband "committed suic*de" by injecting herself some dr*g, but before her last breath she managed to put the syringe back in the original package, what a tidy girl. The father/husband was NEVER inquired, neither for his wife nor for his daughter.
Reminds me of the journalist that broke the story of the CIA smuggling Crack into the US. Soon after he offed himself by shooting himself in the head...twice.
And then when you realize how many of them there are. I haven't run out of true crime stories to watch on RUclips in years. They just happen in spades.
I guess it has to do with whatever disorder she suffers from, she doesn’t seem to understand how the world ”works”. Also more or less told her friend she was about to murder husband!!
After all the crime shows I've watched over the years involving poisonings by arsenic, antifreeze, etc., it still amazes me that it's not a standard practice (apparently) in the medical community to check for such poisonings. Am I off here in expecting such a practice?
Little brother signed a will with his ex-wife as beneficiary. 6 months later he died "unattended" of "chronic alcoholism." His wife collected poison mushrooms which I brought to the coroner's attention but it seems she's gotten away with it. She'll use his money to help battered women. Ya sure. More likely up her nose.
Listening to you without the usual multitasking. I've discovered a new tool to use in the never ending quest to conquer my bad habit of procrastinating. It's bad. I've drifted into the realm of Pre-crastination - where you procrastinate about procrastinating, usually about something totally unimportant, but I'm lazy. Anywho, today I rewarded myself with the space and time to truly Listen to you, and just relax - AFTER my chores were completed. I feel like a child, but it worked, for today. Thank you, Dr. Grande. XxxOoo
You've reminded me of how well that works for me also! Thank you!! Some may not understand, but I suffer from procrastinating also. The time change doesn't help. 😐 Actually, I believe I have ADD but I've never been formally diagnosed. Anyhoo, thanks again! I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day!
Ooh yes, I've found this method works for me too and then when we sit to relax it's guilt free too unlike when I pop onto my device first thing in the morning just to check for '5 minutes ' and end up losing 5 hours in a blink of an eye.
instead of collecting life insurance, she will have to be content in collecting her life in prison. Dr. Grande, that harsh dry humor hits just right !!!
I realized that childhood trauma without counseling has been deadly for the USA. If the brain does not heal from trauma it often recreates more trauma. If a human organ receives damage, it can input how well other organs in the same body will function.
@@deborahsunflower939 Best to you. I celebrate that you are sharing what you have survived. That recognition indicates that you have been thriving aswell as surviving.
Now I know why mothers' like myself were instilled the paranoid thought of our babies possible choking on pacifiers and to not buy ones that could come apart. Unbelievable it takes a special breed of evil to kill people for insurance payouts. Even your own children? Sicking
I don’t think she’s capable of loving anyone besides herself. Taking out your own child that’ll never have the chance to grow up is not even monstrous, it’s friggin demonic
It’s always so frustrating when I hear stories like this. She made statements to two people indicating her intention to kill Frank. He would still be alive if they had said something. Even if they didn’t think that she would go through with it, they should have said something. The only consolation is that her living daughter will be protected
We don't want to think that anyone would actually do anything that horrible. It is difficult to see when you are in the situation. You are married to someone who is self-involved, manipulative, entitled, is cheating on you....and she's taking out a life insurance policy....
Man, what an abhorrent woman. Not only did she have a complete lack of empathy for her lovers but her own flesh and blood? That’s beyond low. It’s absolutely sickening. I can’t even begin to imagine what went through her head when she thought these murders were a good idea. And all for greed. Some people know no bounds. Absolutely disheartening. Poor Autumn, Alicia’s father and Frank’s family. Thank goodness for Palmira speaking up. I’m not surprised Angie tried to get back at Palmira, she’s vengeful. But she should be mad at herself. She’s the one who kept telling on herself. I think it’s safe to say that Angie’s past lovers dodged a bullet. However Frank and Alicia suffered and that’s the saddest part of this story. May they both rest in peace. ❤️ Thanks for covering this case, Dr. Grande. I had never heard of it before. Also thank you for your continuous hard work. 🙏🏻
Hi Dr. Grande, good morning from Southern California. Excellent analysis. If this case was fiction, it would make a great Film Noir movie. Angie is the classic Feme Fatale. As always I learn something new from your videos. Have a great Monday.
**"as for collecting life insurance [she'll] have to be satisfied with collecting life in prison" moreover. Gotta give justice to that zinger. Definitely a _public park crowd goes wild_ meme worthy mic drop.
Whenever I hear such stories the first thing that comes to mind is the question of how often this happens and nobody ever knows. Police have LITTLE INTEREST in deaths which don't strongly arouse suspicions. I don't think people fully appreciate the fact that police don't make great efforts to generate more work for themselves.
@@markmike7933 You're right. My mother died in 1998. She was bed-ridden, and my dad had hired a woman to care for her. My mom didn't particularly like the woman. She died (with suggestive timing) while my dad was out of town and I was away as well (i.e., we were both away for a long period). Since she was very ill there was no autopsy. She had quite a bit of cash that "went missing" (the caretaker knew where it was hidden). She also had jewelry that went missing, and when my father asked her about it she admitted to taking it "for safe keeping," but otherwise claimed she knew nothing about the cash (at least $5000). We had significant suspicions about this woman, but the police simply weren't interested. They said the well-hidden cash "could have been taken by anyone," because some neighbors had come over upon her death. But also, because of my dad's business, I had come to know MANY police over the years, and yes, they surely don't "look for" work for themselves... As for you, YOU SOUND LIKE POLICE YOURSELF, LOL. You defend them without knowing anything about the topic (if you're not police). Your response is quite typical of the sort of gaslighting police USE in order to minimize involvement in things.
Your comment only proves that those who risk their lives every single day to protect us are also risking death for those who would demean them. Those who dont know. Too much crime, understaffed with too few citizens interested in joining. Who would when it's made tougher by those not in the know with attitude? Walk a mile in their shoes.
Honestly, I find Angie impossible to fathom how anyone could be so selfish and cruel (and obvious it) with no one catching on. This case was especially frustrating. That said, I found the video very interesting; thanks, as always, Dr. Grande.
This story reminds me of the novel White oleander '! I think you should do the story about Diane staudte, she poisoned her husband and her autistic son and one of her daughters!
Thank you so much for your in depth review of this case . Presented clearly and impartially. You shine a light on the psyche. Much as always. Cheers Colin🇦🇺
Who the hell takes out a life insurance policy on a child? I didn't even know it was possible until watching this video. My wife and I BOTH have large-ish life insurance policies so that the family will be financially ok if one of us kicks the bucket. But policy on children? OMG!
That is strange, the fact her immediate concern was not for her late husband, but the insurance policy. And the fact she took out all these policies immediately, and then so adamant about inquiring about the policies after her husband's death.
So many alliterations to describe her, Dr. Grande, excellent 😂. It's very sad that she sees/saw people that way. I wonder how many lives she ruined while growing up. Nothing suddenly starts at her age. I'm sure she has ex-friends who were used in the same way.
Pacifiers are just evil in general. Babies can survive quite well without them. I grudgingly gave my daughter one for six weeks, but then threw them away. It drives me crazy to see mothers shoving pacifiers in the mouths of their children who are one, two, or even more years old.
I am the mother of two non verbal severly autistic children. They both have to have a pacifier in their mouth at almost all times, its a sensory thing otherwise they will be putting everything they see in their mouths. My son is 5, my daughter is about to turn 9 and thank God she was able to ditch the pacifier this summer, so there is hope for us. Chances are the 5 years are on the spectrum. Please do not judge, or speculate on situations you know nothing about. We are judged everywhere we go, I hear all the snide comments and laughter at me and my children but that is not going to keep us from going out in public.
@@gigia2030 Good for YOU !!! People are all to often quick to judge without knowing enough about the context to really have any foundation for their opinions...

Thank you for your regular, reliable content Dr Grande. I wonder out of all the cases you have covered which ones stand out to you most, and for what reasons?
I'm surprised she could take out such a large policy on a small child. Most insurance policies for a child that age are 5-10k or so (sufficient to cover a funeral, but not more).
Now that the Jessy Kurczewski case is over, I wonder if Dr. Grande has any thoughts on that case. I'd be interested in the good doctor's take on that case. Good video. Thank you Dr. Grande.
Hi Dr Grande, have you ever considered doing an analysis of Gary Gilmore and his family? I am reading his brother Mikal’s book ‘Shot In The Heart’ which makes a good case that the whole family was horribly dysfunctional and that Gary was doomed from the start. His problems are fairly obvious but the whole family dynamic would be interesting to have some insight. Thank you, I appreciate all the work you put in and your zeal for presenting a rational view.
I read that book too. It was voted one of the greatest crime books by National Book Critic's Circle Awards. Mikal is such a good writer and Gary was a good artist. Mikal did relatively well in life, I think because he was quite a bit younger, the family was more affluent and grounded by the time he came along. A talented family but as you say, horribly dysfunctional. When Gary was young, his parents were transient. A lot like Bonnie and Clyde.
Why should a 2 year old child need an insurance policy for that much money? I could understand it if the child were ill and would be acruing many doctor's bills and hospital bills during his or her lifetime; that would be another story. I think there should be a law against getting life insurance for kids under 18 unless they are ill already. Perhaps at 18 they may be the head of the household for somebody who is already extremely ill. But this needs to be looked at. There is no reason for a child 2 years old to have a life insurance policy.
This case reminds me in some way the killing of Gabriel Cruz, an 8-year old boy that was killed by his stepmom, Ana Julia Quezada in 2018 in Níjar, Spain. Or at least Ana Julia had a profile very similar to Angie. Ana Julia was also manipulative and she even had lost a daughter 12 years before, in a supposed accident. Apparently, she acted on jealousy; she choked the kid and she simulated his disparition so a frantic search with volunteers was started although she was suspicious to the police from the beginning. The police tricked her during the investigation, so she decided to change the corpse from its cache to an already searched place. She was intercepted by the police carrying the kid's body in the trunk of her car. She had the harshest available sentence in Spain, permanent prison with parole option after 25 years in jail.
🙋🏻♀️In less than 3 minutes I lost count of how many times she was married ... 👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️ ... @Dr. Todd Grande, when there's alot of detail to keep up with, can you do your best impression of either John Madden or Glenn Beck and post a bullet point list either on a real (or virtual) whiteboard or blackboard? Thank you in advance!
When my father died at age 60 of a massive heart attack the Doctor gave my mother the once over even though he had a thirty year history of heart problems. Why not the baby?
This form of Killing is known as *The Assassins Teapot* It's usually done with any Plant out of *The Garden of Eden* Examples.....Hemlock,Monkshood,Dotleaf etcetera Brewed in the Kettle...... Death in 40mins.
I could picture her asking every friend and family member where she could rent a steamroller, filling her google history with searches on what steamrollers do to people when they run them over, and then blaming some random acquaintance with prior threats, when her husband is found dead, having been squashed by a steamroller.
Wouldn't it be grand if people with stony cold hearts were also icy cold to the touch, to warn the rest of us to stay away.WS she abused or indulged as a child to grow up to be so unkind and cruel. I pray her surviving daughter was able to heal from the trauma of that mom. I'm so sorry for her husband's family.
I can’t understand why anyone would ever (for non-criminal reasons) want to take out life insurance on their child or therefore why it’s even legal to do so.
Several reasons. Some have a cash benefit and living benefits to borrow for college, car, wedding, ect. Many kids do not get life insurance when they are older. What if they get cancer? Life insurance is cheaper as a child and gives options to increase at different anniversaries.
It took me 2 months to even think about the life insurance. What kind of person calls the same day their loved one unexpectedly passes. That’s pretty much a confession right there.
It seems surprising that Angie was not found out sooner. I think your analysis was right on and it’s a good thing she is in prison and not out making friends and influencing victims.
SANTA MARIA is a beautiful city by the California coast about 1 hr and half north of Santa Barbara. Paso Robles is also a very rich city. Montebello, I have nothing good to say about that city.
I haven't been watching the ones that involve children lately because it just messes with me too much right now. Thought this one was safe....nope. Evil lady! Who loves money more than their child?! Disgusting human. That little baby depended on her mama and trusted her. Makes my blood boil.
“As an adult, Angie was extremely active in her efforts to engage in romantic activity.”
That’s the most polite way I ever heard that put 😂
Hahaha I believe I eye rolled at the time of that statement teeheehee…
I caught that too! LOL
Must have been sa by her grandad
Then he's a little less polite when he says "not surprisingly, Angie quickly moved on with her love life"😅 after she married right after her insurance payout!
He has quite a way with words 😏
I hope Autumn is doing OK. Growing up with such a self-involved mother, and then figuring out she likely killed your sister....wow.

SEVEN HOURS ???
7 hours AFTER he dies, she is harrassing insurance company?? 😱😱😱😱😱
Well, yeah, that was kind of the point in murd---ERM, UH I MEAN OH MY GOD MY POOR HUSBAND! HOW CAN I GO ON WITHOUT MY HUSBAND?!?!
Makes perfect sense when you consider she never gave a fuck about him and the insurance money was her goal in the first place
That's why they didn't payout.
I used to work at a life insurance company. It wasn't unusual for people to call within hours of the death.
I guess it has to do with whatever disorder she suffers from, she doesn’t seem to understand how the world ”works”. Also more or less told her friend she was about to murder husband!!
What a callous and manipulative woman. Really sad case.
Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤
I'd use another "C" word.
"What a callous and _murderous_ woman." (ftfy)
Stereotypes exist for a reason...
That can't be right. There is no such thing as an evil woman in 2023
Awesome😂
After all the crime shows I've watched over the years involving poisonings by arsenic, antifreeze, etc., it still amazes me that it's not a standard practice (apparently) in the medical community to check for such poisonings. Am I off here in expecting such a practice?
With many it Is, they’ll take a blood sample and keep it if they’re sharp.
Little brother signed a will with his ex-wife as beneficiary. 6 months later he died "unattended" of "chronic alcoholism." His wife collected poison mushrooms which I brought to the coroner's attention but it seems she's gotten away with it. She'll use his money to help battered women. Ya sure. More likely up her nose.
I shudder to think the insane effort it took to force her baby to choke on a pacifier.
It would be really hard. The baby definitely suffered.😢
Not much effort. Just a cold and evil heart
A toddler dying just 2 months after their parents take out a $100,000 life insurance policy on them automatically spells murder.
I doubt the husband knew anything about it.
It's so very unusual to take out life insurance on a child. Most often it would just be a small policy sufficient to pay for burial.
It's so horrific I think many people wouldn't even consider that someone could do that to a little helpless baby

Now that the Jessy Kurczewski case is over, I wonder if Dr. Grande has any thoughts on that case. I'd be interested in the good doctor's take on that case. Good video. Thank you Dr. Grande.
Thank you for the analysis. Would like to know about her parents, grandparent during her childhood.
Always interesting
Thank you
Peace
What about the surviving daughter
Thank you for this work
Hi Dr Grande, have you ever considered doing an analysis of Gary Gilmore and his family? I am reading his brother Mikal’s book ‘Shot In The Heart’ which makes a good case that the whole family was horribly dysfunctional and that Gary was doomed from the start. His problems are fairly obvious but the whole family dynamic would be interesting to have some insight. Thank you, I appreciate all the work you put in and your zeal for presenting a rational view.
I read that book too. It was voted one of the greatest crime books by National Book Critic's Circle Awards. Mikal is such a good writer and Gary was a good artist. Mikal did relatively well in life, I think because he was quite a bit younger, the family was more affluent and grounded by the time he came along. A talented family but as you say, horribly dysfunctional. When Gary was young, his parents were transient. A lot like Bonnie and Clyde.
Another great insightful take by Dr Grande
Why should a 2 year old child need an insurance policy for that much money? I could understand it if the child were ill and would be acruing many doctor's bills and hospital bills during his or her lifetime; that would be another story. I think there should be a law against getting life insurance for kids under 18 unless they are ill already. Perhaps at 18 they may be the head of the household for somebody who is already extremely ill. But this needs to be looked at. There is no reason for a child 2 years old to have a life insurance policy.
Oh, wow, I lived in Santa Maria, CA during the early 90s. I lived in San Luis Obispo as well - during my undergrad.
This case reminds me in some way the killing of Gabriel Cruz, an 8-year old boy that was killed by his stepmom, Ana Julia Quezada in 2018 in Níjar, Spain. Or at least Ana Julia had a profile very similar to Angie.
Ana Julia was also manipulative and she even had lost a daughter 12 years before, in a supposed accident.
Apparently, she acted on jealousy; she choked the kid and she simulated his disparition so a frantic search with volunteers was started although she was suspicious to the police from the beginning. The police tricked her during the investigation, so she decided to change the corpse from its cache to an already searched place. She was intercepted by the police carrying the kid's body in the trunk of her car.
She had the harshest available sentence in Spain, permanent prison with parole option after 25 years in jail.
You always do such a good job analyzing
I'm surprised she waited seven hours
These greed killers are something else.
Hi Doc, would love your thoughts on the Netflix Documentary series on the "Twin Flames Universe." Great job as always on this video 😊😮
🙋🏻♀️In less than 3 minutes I lost count of how many times she was married ... 👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️👰🏻♀️ ... @Dr. Todd Grande, when there's alot of detail to keep up with, can you do your best impression of either John Madden or Glenn Beck and post a bullet point list either on a real (or virtual) whiteboard or blackboard? Thank you in advance!
When my father died at age 60 of a massive heart attack the Doctor gave my mother the once over even though he had a thirty year history of heart problems. Why not the baby?
Good point
They were obviously negligent
Wow im from Santa Maria and have never heard this i believe i lived in the area arpund this time i was lil tho crazy
This form of Killing is known as *The Assassins Teapot*
It's usually done with any Plant out of *The Garden of Eden*
Examples.....Hemlock,Monkshood,Dotleaf etcetera
Brewed in the Kettle...... Death in 40mins.
Good thoughts!
Hello Dr Grande. Please do a case of Lou Pearlman. Thank you
13:06-13:38 I had to check the video title again to see if Dr. Grande had switched to describing my ex girlfriend, because he nailed it.
Money got her hooked on murder.
I could picture her asking every friend and family member where she could rent a steamroller, filling her google history with searches on what steamrollers do to people when they run them over, and then blaming some random acquaintance with prior threats, when her husband is found dead, having been squashed by a steamroller.
Dr Grande please analyze the mass shooting at Pearland Tx this past Sunday .
Interesting picture you included
Angie acquired an active appetite as she aged.
The expression on the faces of Tom Fuller and his new bride speak volumes
4:19 Frank looks like Dr Grande 🧐🤭🤐
Hahaha…..only the glasses and mustache. 👓
He does!
When my parent ask me to get life insurance. I raised an eyebrow
Will you be doing a video on the Tiffanie Lucas case?
Another fascinating analysis doc.
This is just a theory, my opinion.
Dr Grande is right!
Green coolant could look the same as Gatorade. So if the husband told the wife “only Gatorade” she probably hopped to it. One Prestone Gatorade to go…
Wouldn't it be grand if people with stony cold hearts were also icy cold to the touch, to warn the rest of us to stay away.WS she abused or indulged as a child to grow up to be so unkind and cruel. I pray her surviving daughter was able to heal from the trauma of that mom. I'm so sorry for her husband's family.
God bless this lost soul😢
I shudder to think of how one would force a pacifier down a child's throat. My God¡

I can’t understand why anyone would ever (for non-criminal reasons) want to take out life insurance on their child or therefore why it’s even legal to do so.
Several reasons. Some have a cash benefit and living benefits to borrow for college, car, wedding, ect. Many kids do not get life insurance when they are older. What if they get cancer? Life insurance is cheaper as a child and gives options to increase at different anniversaries.
A classic case you’re right Dr. Grande. I think they call it bat shit crazy🤔bless all who suffered and may she awaken in prison💜
The cops knew not declaring the cause of death would draw her out.
Where is her older daughter and can she get help.
The bad genes have been passed on.
It took me 2 months to even think about the life insurance. What kind of person calls the same day their loved one unexpectedly passes. That’s pretty much a confession right there.
To think people this evil can look normalish
I had to stop when I realized who the victim was. My daughter is that age...naw. Not this time, but I love your videos, Dr. Grande!
Moral of the story: if you cant stopp yourself from blabing, stay on the straight and narrow!
It seems surprising that Angie was not found out sooner. I think your analysis was right on and it’s a good thing she is in prison and not out making friends and influencing victims.
SANTA MARIA is a beautiful city by the California coast about 1 hr and half north of Santa Barbara.
Paso Robles is also a very rich city. Montebello, I have nothing good to say about that city.
Could you analyze the case of Joshua Wolf, who murdered is grandmother in 2000 ?
Why no more brick wall, Dr Grande? I really miss the brick wall.
I haven't been watching the ones that involve children lately because it just messes with me too much right now. Thought this one was safe....nope.
Evil lady! Who loves money more than their child?! Disgusting human. That little baby depended on her mama and trusted her. Makes my blood boil.
