On December 9, 2001, novelist and Vietnam War veteran Michael Peterson called 911 to report that his wife Kathleen Peterson had suffered an accident. The 48-year-old was lying at the bottom of a staircase in a pool of blood at the couple's Durham, North Carolina, home. Police suspected that this was not an accident and arrested Michael Peterson and charged him.
As the Petersons were gearing up for the trial, French filmmaker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade came to them wanting to make a documentary about the case. He was granted a truly jaw-dropping amount of access, as he filmed the entire trial from inside the courtroom and was a fly on the wall in the Peterson household and with the defense team throughout the entire thing. Where does the staircase owl theory fit into any of the staircase movie?

1qqq11q Q
Tell it yea
Can you do Betty Broderick?
My friend interviewed michael and he said he is psychopathic, i know he dont fit typical criteria but he IS.
Do g bush class romm 9 11. He knew!
If you can, prob get a call from fed if you do
All the female panelists have agreed we are never getting involved with anyone by the last name of Peterson. Hands down.
Preach
Yup!
My husband: Is he guilty?
Me: He’s a Peterson. He’s guilty.
Confirmed.
Truth!
I've been a 911 dispatcher for 14 years. The part that first popped out most to me as a red flag is when he said, "She is still breathing." Usually the caller says 'she's breathing' or 'she's not breathing.' Not "still breathing".
Agreed. I did my Psy BSc dissertation on discursive discourse analysis and your point is spot on. It's just a weird thing to say. The guys were right about his tone too, he sounds hostile towards her questioning him about the stairs. He also does not mention the considerable amount of blood everywhere or that she is bleeding heavily, which is very strange. He doesn't even attempt to do CPR on her. He also cuts the call on the 911 dispatcher, when most people stay on the line in these circumstances. He claims it's an accident from a fall, when it looks more like a possible attack. Wouldn't an innocent person or a person who didn't see the fall and does not know what happened, especially with so much blood, say I don't know what happened exactly but she's bleeding heavily from head? Yet he immediately claims that she definitely had an accident, that she fell. The blood was dry when they arrived, which is too soon if she just bled to death minutes earlier. So she must have been dead for a while before he made those calls. Probably didn't mean to kill her but just lost it & in a drunken rage, smashed her head against stair or wall in stairwell with his bare hands. Sad as he probably loved her. Still took her life though! He lied about a lot & there are many inconsistencies in his story. Innocent people don't need to lie about time of death. Guilty!
Interesting! Didn’t even think about that point! I’m still stuck on the amount of blood he never even mentioned which in any normal persons head should lead to other potential causes rather than just fell down the stairs. Thankfully I’ve never been in what would be a highly unfathomable, SHOCKING situation but…pretty sure I’d be saying something about “blood everywhere” in the 911 call. Great catch Erin!
EXCELLENT point !! It’s a yes or no question, unless………..
Definitely a good point, but if I picture myself walking into my house and finding my wife like that, I could imagine saying that out of pure joy considering how much blood there was. Maybe he assumed she was dead, and said that because her injuries were so extensive he was afraid she might stop breathing at any moment? Unfortunately the only person with a black and white knowledge of what happened is Michael, the rest of us have to live in the grey.
You can't go by what most people do or say. They were both drunk
The Netflix series had me fooled. Throughout the series, he and his lawyer talk about how there wasn't any blood found on the ceiling. But when the prosecutor pointed out how she was hit and blood spatters were found on the ceiling, his lawyer did not object. I couldn't figure out why they didn't object. Then I realized the documentary was filmed for just his side. He made it look like the police were out to get him.
I'm a retired court reporter of 30+ years. The profession makes someone, in a fashion, an expert in reading body language. These men are dead on. This is a great video. You have a new subscriber.
06:35 What also jumped out in the 911 call is how he’s not speaking to Kathleen. Even if unconscious most people would speak to the person, calling their name, trying to wake them up, begging, praying - basically having some sort of intimate personable moment to reassure or show concern, even if they were seemingly dead. He is not doing that.
Exactly - good point!
The coroner determined that she had died hours before he called 911
Exactly I agree ☝️.
That's so true! Good point
You are so spot on!
Am I the only one who wishes for more than one analysis per week? I find myself rewatching older analyses several times!
Me too!
Definitely, but at the end of the day I'd rather be patient and content with 1 a week rather than them forcing out videos and running the risk of losing their passion for it and lowering the quality of the content
@@jewlovergibson2944 Well said.
@@jewlovergibson2944 THIS!!!!!
You got it!. I know they must be busy but,....i kinda like to be selfish in a good way wanting more video's from these guys. Very enjoyable indeed. Not much content i can say "i want more" of please 😁 weekly.
Let's bug them on that! 😉
Poke. Poke. Tap. Tap. Ummmm so excuse me but "we all were wondering if" so on.....
One can hope.
Everybody has a sweetly romantic night right before the suspicious accidental death of their spouse.
That's so true
I was a friend of Kathleen's from her days in Maryland until our final phone call in 2000. Due to her personal history, she would not tolerate an extramarital affair. Kathleen told me that Michael was going to write a novel and memorialize her....she would not have expected it to roll out like it did. I miss my friend.
I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry you lost a friend in such terrible circumstances x
The dishes left in the living room, while they went directly to the kitchen had me messed up..... and his admission in the final episode added to my belief that Kathleen DID find this info on the computer between dinner and her "fall"..... it would take a mighty saint to accept a husband who behaved in such a way. I mean, I can see it being POSSIBLE, but in the end, he ADMITTED he lied about her having KNOWN about it. So, no. In the end, I do not believe him. I knew absolutely nothing of this case prior to watching this mini series... and I wanted to believe him and I DID at certain points... in the end, I'm not sure I do. Could I convict him had I been on that jury? Idk.... glad I wasn't there.
He says, "She took up my whole life." That sounds more like a complaint instead a statement of affection. Usually that phrase is 'she is my life'.
I heard that too...went hummmm not sure that's a good thing
Good observation.
That's where the contempt comes in imo. She took up his life. Chilling. He wanted her out of it to enable him to pursue the other side of his non-multifaceted persona. One helluva creep.
I heard this, with the hand gesture, to be contempt, also! He had to sneak around with her “hogging” his life! Just nasty!
Yes he went down his list of relationship elements and rated her on each one
Just want to say hello to my fellow panelists. And thank you to Greg, Scott, Chase and Mark for continuing to come back every week.
Hi :D
Well thanks for coming back every week. : )
Hi 👋
Heeeeeeeeellllllllloooooo too you too :D
I agree. You guys must be busy and yet you take the time to sit and research for and make these videos. I look forward to it every week.
He supposedly spent hours outside in 50 degrees in shorts and a t shirt, nope, they didn't go to the pool. Bless Mark and his interior design assessment. "Lack of upholstery" big red flag there!
What stands out to me is here is a married man (widower) and he gets accused of homosexuality. He asks “where?”
Chase trying not to laugh at ‘help, help’ 😂😂😂😂😂
I loved hearing it again!
Omg I died that was hilarious. Mark does the best defenseless damsel 😂
Yes, we should request that from Mark occasionally! Always want to do a replay. lol
Leeny. Hayulp , hayulp 😂
@@emp9413 The best 😊🤣
Mark’s “mommy mommy mommy” has the exact intonations of a European police siren 🚨 rofl well played Mark, well played 🙌🏻
I think that was his point.
I really enjoyed the likeness too. A top shelf moment 👏.
It was bloody fantastic!
When he said "and Heather, the doctor, took my pulse", did any other ladies out there get creeped out????
There's no doubt that Heather is attractive and he liked it.
This call is the most important piece of evidence in the investigation, as he says he found her, but in the call, he talks as if he was sure she had fallen down the stairs, he doesn't say she is bleeding or that he doesn't know exactly what happened. For someone who was in the pool and didn't witness the fall, it's pretty strange.
Exactly.
She went upstairs, got on the computer, and discovered his gay life.
And she was the breadwinner….
How can watching 4 webcams of blokes talking be so interesting? Love this channel 👍🏻

I laughed out loud at this. 😆
I thought that was so funny!
🤣🤣 walmarts
My dad is one of those Chase!! What does it mean?
I literally laughed out loud- a humorous nuance
Wow, I had actually watched the documentary “The Staircase” a few years ago and truly believed this guy. Maybe I should rephrase this, I think it was more like I really wanted to believe in this guy. He was just as u described, this amazing story teller. He was such a likable and relatable person in a lot of ways. It was the moment u ripped apart him walking thru the last night him and his wife spent together that I all of a sudden felt like such a fool. U were so correct, he described events that took place all the way to the patio and then all of a sudden he takes u on this lovely walk down memory lane of what they would usually do going down to the pool. I never picked up on how the story really changed in the way he was telling it. It went from factual to fanciful. All of a sudden I got a chill down my spine when I realized her story probably ended with the patio. Whatever he did it occurred after the patio, they never made it to the pool that night at all. The story had just been this beautiful loving relationship on a starry night kinda tall tale. I feel so so sad for his children and her children, I think he really did it. When his children finally realize it all they will be so crushed 😢 In The Staircase when he was confessing to his homosexual tendencies and relationships I think it really was the core of what he killed her over. He was terrified of the world realizing he was homosexual. She wanted to leave him and he couldn’t handle it. There was this feeling of his whole world was crumbling around him. He destroyed himself over his own ego and this lie he had been living. In a lot of ways he lost everything over his inability to be honest about himself to himself. What was funny was during this documentary he confides these truths to his children about his homosexuality and they just laughed it off and told him they already had guessed he was and still loved and accepted him anyway. The whole story is just tragic. He killed her, but never really had to. He was too caught up in his own lie to just let it all go.
That whole family is deceptive, even his Lawyer doesn't look him in the face.
Everyone at work looked at me as I let out an audible gasp when I saw the notification for this on my phone. I said, "They're doing Michael Peterson! I've been asking for him!" I haven't even watched yet but had to say YAY!! Thanks for covering him. 😀
@Joe Buck 😂 Yup! Damn owls.
@Joe Buck 😂😂
It definitely made my day too
I love when Chase said "In most crimes, probably 90%, I made that up but lets just go with it". 😅😅😅 Chase you could make anything up and I'd go with it. Also love Mark's nod to The Princess Bride.
Agreed! I laughed out loud at that made up statistic!
Lol...that was priceless...
99.3% of all statistics are untrue 😉
This guy is guilty. He’s a liar and an actor. Right away you can tell he’s guilty saying an owl killed her? Remarkable coincidence to the woman in Germany who died the same way eh? Maybe it was the same owl
He was also the last one to see the friend in German alive. Not evidence that he did it but really.....I think this guy has a bad temper and both these women argued with him, I think they were going to say somnething he did not want them to find out...He had to shut them up.
Hey, à quick congrats to myself! I'm a panelist! I didn't even know I was one! You really never know what the day will bring 😉. Great work, you guys, highly instructive 👏👍
As he’s giving a long tour of the property and pool, my mind is screaming “But how did she fall down the stairs?”
He killed her and that woman in germany.Two women falls down the stairs and dies and he is the last to see them.
I wanted to hear about the owl attack!!
It looked like he was giving a tour of his beautiful backyard!
Am I the only one who thought in the part 10 seconds before the tour video, where he’s in the kitchen that he’s actually biting his cheek and not pressing his lips?
@@sashasash9940 I dont think he killed the other woman. She died of natural causes. I do 100 % believe he killed Kathleen. Maybe the accident in Germany gave him the idea
I love it when we cut back to Greg, Scott, Chase and Mark and they're all cracking up from the video because of how bad the person is lying 😄
Me too .... these guys are honestly the best
😂Haha me too!
I also noticed how he never mentioned blood in the 911 call. And if she stopped breathing, why not give CPR? He says "she's still breathing" as if he expected her to not be. It all sounds scripted until the dispatcher starts asking more questions. Its the hanging up several times while she asks questions that gets me.
I do think that the operators need to be trained to say I have just dispatched an ambulance to your house. They are on their way. They don’t always say that right away.
All that I have learned from watching these videos is that I am gullible af and will never know if someone is lying to me 😂
I feel the same!! AND when I look back at my life I think, where were these guys when I needed them?!! :)
Unfortunately, me too. I can pick up on stuff when I watch videos like this, but live, I rarely do, especially if someone is charming and likeable.
I agree, but I am so much better than I was from watching these videos, plus doing the true crime course. But also the guys have so much experience, soooo much so that makes me feel better.
Most people aren't as practised as the man they're analysing here. It takes a lot of experience to notice the differences between how someone normally reacts. And people are different, and respond differently under pressure, so it's best not to over analyse everyday stuff.
@@citizensnips2348 That's true. Even these guys, as knowledgeable and experienced as they are, say they have to watch videos through multiple times to catch everything.
He constantly forgets that he is supposed to be sad when he's talking about Kathleen's death. Instead he keeps his affable demeanor and storyteller voice which is totally wrong.
Agreed. When he’s giving a tour of his house, he’s so upbeat. If one is talking about the day one’s spouse died, I would imagine it would bring back all sorts of memories and one would get quite somber.
Absolutely correct. No sign of grief at all. Then there was that moment in his outdoors storytime where he realized his story wasn't matching facts and he was under investigation.
Agree! I found him so oily and smarmy...usually I agree with Chase but when he said he was engaging I thought not at all..I watched the whole show they referenced he's so unlikable
Look, I think this guy is guilty, but this "they show no sign of grief" thing is not deterministic of anything. People grieve in different ways, some don't grieve at all, that doesn't mean they didn't love the person.
I can say this from experience, because my brother died the beginning of 2020, and if I was interviewed on TV, I would imagine people would think I killed him because I showed no emotion. That doesn't mean I didn't love my brother, there's just a lot of complicated reasons why I am very pragmatic in situations like this, and don't feel like I can allow myself to feel bad about the situation.
Great point!
There is no way the large amount of spattered and pooled blood was caused by a fall down the stairs. Also, when his daughters arrived one of the first things he said and repeated was "I didn't do it, I didn't do it!". No one had accused him of anything before they arrived. Hmmmm
Deceptive is right! Peterson is such an odd person. He acts like he is lying literally ALL the time. I saw this documentary and I did not believe a single thing he said. He could be eating an apple right in front of me and I would not believe that he was actually eating it.
What if he was sitting on his couch eating Cheetos
The 9/11 call even is weird! He's an actor!
Lol 😆 he does act guilty alot throughout the documentary that's hilarious but true.
Agreed. Worse part is, his horrible acting and lying he thinks he's a great actor. Unwarranted confidence and plain old narcissism... horrible.
I think what you guys do is fascinating, i am a British Police Officer and think that this sort of training would be invaluable to our organisations for both our own protection and the protection of victims and offenders alike. Of course by the very nature of our role we, over time, build up some conscious and not so conscious body language skills but it makes you realise when you watch videos like yours how much depth there is to it. Keep up the good work chaps and thanks!
One of my past firms & other people I know have tried to use this type of analysis for things like investment analysis (are CEOs lying etc.) and the results have been terrible. I think this could be another pseudo-science trend like "bite mark" analysis that has proven to be false. Would be interesting to see if it holds up in double blind studies not where you know the person is guilty or innocent or it is unknown.

@@ScottRouse 🤣🤣🤣
@@ScottRouse 😍😂
So TRUE!
He’s a narcissist who only pretends to have empathy. They don’t actually know how to behave under pressure. IMO he is also a functioning alcoholic and the wife and he had a dreadful argument. True narcs go into a rage when drunk and will NOT be challenged. Of course he slept around cos that’s what they do. All the signs are there. A bloody owl did it? Two words: Occam’s Razor.
Also: Mark saying “Help!” in a southern accent tickles my fancy every time 🤣
The southern accent actually comes from England because of so many English populated the south in the beginning 🧐 there's a large majority of the North that actually came from Germany and was a number one second language before world war II
Heeeeyulp! Heeeeyulp!
The best thing I’ve heard all week for sure
@@donnysandley6977 I've never seen anyone from Europe speak in a southern accent. People may have come from Europe, but I think the southern dialect was cultivated in...the south.
@@doubleboy2388it's never exact and the details are eluding 🧐
I took a 911 call from a man who threw his wife down the stairs (murdered her a few months later)... Very chilling how accurate Scott was about how the caller answered the questions I asked.
Watching the series, i feel this man Peterson has developed a huge amount of confidence getting people to truly believe him. He is constantly trying to help himself, being a hero of sorts to his family and holds a lot of power and control in the guise of being cool, articulate and seemingly intellectually above all...
His family hardly talks about the women they lost...they were so busy trying to defend him...what a drama...that leaves a bad after taste...
This exactly. He’s enjoying the banter and conversations as if it’s not about his dead wife. Disgusting.
The dinner plate point is utterly ridiculous! And no, their house doesn't look that meticulous!
I had not considered that when he took them down to the pool he was literally placing himself as far away from the staircase as possible whilst still being on the property. Removing himself from the crime.
My brain screamed BS that he considered 55 degrees late in the dark night to be nice weather inspiring wine and chatting by the poolside. That temperature in the sunshine wouldn't inspire "wine by the pool".
I think he enjoys showing off his amenities
I was wondering how well could he see it would be dark after 11pm. I scanned looking for lighting and I didn't see anything
@@christinethompson3557
I believe he's reflecting on a true past memory, but I doubt it was from the night of Kathleen's death. It makes the lies asier to keep straight
And trying to impress with his beautiful pool. Like no way someone with a pool like that could commit murder. Making out like they had an idyllic life, chatting by the pool with a glass of wine. How civilized.
Love the fact that Mark is an 11 on the charisma scale! 👍🏼
And on every other type of scale as well!
They have the art of likability down!!!!
Something omitted from the documentary was that Kathleen's fingerprints were not found on the wine glasses and he blood alcohol content was very low in the autopsy report!
I would love to read all the transcripts. Where’s the best source? I did read the autopsy and it said her blood alcohol was .07 which is just under the legal limit for driving. So it was not very low. The level in her urine was .11, meaning she had been more intoxicated earlier.
This guy's first wife died - from a fall down stairs! Guilty as hell. I saw his interview, priceless!
His first wife is still alive 🤣😂 What are you talking about ?
He seemed to be inordinately pleased with himself most of the time.
Yes he is so smug it’s of-putting. I’m Irish and we describe this kind of behaviour as ‘he has “notions” of himself’
Total narcissict.
Absolutely! There was an original documentary I watched a few yrs before Netflix picked up the story...I found personally, after seeing the original documentary...on the Netflix series, he seemed way too “ON”! But, as pointed out, the cameras probably had a lot to do with the “Character”, he was portraying...either way he’s very creepy!
Yes, yes, yes!
Duper's Delight 💯% like a live character from a novel
He sounds almost cheerful when recounting the story. No sadness at all in his voice.
Why aren't behavior and body language experts not used in trials?
It's not a hard science, like lie detectors. Has it's uses, but isn't black and white.
As a grammarian and "word nerd", I am highly impressed with Chase's awareness and analysis of Peterson's ever-changing verb tenses. 😊 By the way: Sentences such as "We would always (verb)", or "We used to (verb)" are using the *imperfect past tense*. Also, I agree with Chase that Peterson is (still) in storytelling mode in the segment where he's out by the pool. I disagree, however, with describing it as "masterful". 😜 Peterson is a textbook narcissist and a smarmy snake oil salesman. Somehow, he continues to fool people even today.
As a teacher, I would love it if Mark did a book or a series of videos aimed at teenagers and communication. I know they would love his personality and his style.
He reminds me so much of my A Level teacher - she was the coolest, most approachable, knowledgeable person. She had everyone in that class just wanting to learn more to impress her! Best teacher I've ever had!
As an insomniac, I would love tapes narrated by Scott

@@margot1143 how’d it work? I know it takes time, but figured I’d ask.
Greg’s comment about no reference to blood is spot on-if I recall correctly from the documentary, there was a LOT of blood from the “accident”, yet no mention about it on the 911 call.
I think if ANYONE saw that much blood...it would be..you dial 911 and scream BBBBBLLLLLOOOOODDDDD!
Exactly! I always wondered about that. If I had found my spouse lying in the bottom of a staircase in the amount of blood like that, I would not think it's an accident, I would think ther is a murderer in my house.
He never shows devastation about his wifes death.
As someone who has hypersensitivity/ hyper vigilance to know someone is not good or is lying or being evasive i knew he was guilty. I just am not educated in the field to articulate the technical aspects.

Besides all the analysis, he's just a guy who also loves the sound of his own voice. He rambles on, saying things he thinks make sense but don't like "I'm a monogamous person" as he explains he had sex with others. He's more interested in speaking and having an audience than he is on thinking thru what he's saying. He's one of the creepiest people I've watched and I've watched many.
I feel the same way especially after also reading Diane Fannings book the Staircase..more details than the Netflix show..he is guilty
Yesssss!!! It is a shame he pulls the wool over the kids eyes also and takes them down his whole road of proposed innocence instead of just owning up to what happened. 🤦♀️
@@fondaproctor9034
Narcissistic people are incapable of seeing things beyond their own nose. He is one of the best ì have ever seen.
It's totally fine that I had sex with another man. Its OK that two women were found at the bottom of a stair case, It's OK if I keep two daughters with the fortune I'm getting in return and it's fine I haven't earned a penny in decades. I live in a mansion, I'm successful I know exactly how to take a fortune from lovely women who are loaded. I also lie about gaining medals in the war.
I'm Michael Peterson and I will show you my beautiful house. I can't do anything wrong, do you not know I'm amazing ? I'm monogamous, I write books I am frigging amazing and do you get the frigging point?
I am the only person in this world and even when my wife lies at the foot of the stairs, having had bled to death, feel for me, realise when I had sex with other people it's normal and happens. Everything is about me, Kathleen didn't matter, nor the one in Germany.
I'm Michael Peterson and those laws don't apply.
He physically recoils when given the exhumation news he looked away and then became angry and his expression was the last thing those women and finally his solicitor sees that. That solicitor got out of that role as soon as he could.
What a complete R Sole and he got away with 10 years taking the fortune those women made. It's was for him so it didn't matter. He should be under a stone, not a grave stone, an insect stone and parasitic insect.
There's a characteristic liberal belief in his own moral superiority -- not just that he's a
"monogamous person," but that he "would never judge another," and the long pause before finally admitting he "might be characterized" as sometimes lying to benefit himself.
And why is it always the ugly ones who think they look like Adonis? Honey. You really aren't.
People with dogs don't leave their plates out on the coffee table overnight.

Clever! Our poor dog died a couple of years ago and I was just the other day musing about how I can momentarily leave a plate or a cup of tea on a table these days, and could never do that before...
Exactly! I go around the house before leaving and before bed just to check for anything my collie might get into. Its habit. Especially since mine is weird and thinks chapstick is a snack lol. Yeah I have to hide chapstick...then I forgot where I put it.
We just watched this and said exactly the same thing...
Not every dogs jump on the table and tries to eat the leftovers.
You men are right; he said to the camera person , 'I went outside', he didn't say 'we went outside', and that's why 'Kathleen suddenly appeared on the deck by the chairs! '
I believe they were having a very serious argument or dramatic discussion. I would think she even spoke of a divorce and he didn't want that. She was the real source of wealth, and talk of divorce was a threat. His whole story was to cover up that argument.
And you deserve each and every one of those 212k subscribers gentlemen
👍🏼ABSOLUTELY! 👍🏼

Note that after a short amount of time, Peterson's lawyer doesn't look at him, he looks down. He doesn't want to watch Peterson lie to his face.
Yep!👍👍
That man is Ron Guerette (sp) and is a private detective who works with the lead attorney David Rudolph on many cases (David Rudolph does not appear in any of the clips that are being analyzed).
Exactly what I thought
@@marzipanhunt2870 Ron has passed away since.
@@diannakaplan8853 Hi. Thanks I knew that but decided not to mention it. RIP Ron Guerette. 2018.
Some people say it was an Owl attack 😂 seriously, most things that happen, its the most logical conclusion thats normally the truth. Did she fall all that way and spray that much blood just falling down the stairs? Did she keeo getting up and slipping on blood? Did she get attacked by a bird? No, the most logical and believable story is he murdered her.
Also if it had been an owl attack I believe we would have seen at least one single feather somewhere in the house, and other signs that a fucking owl had for some reason flown into a house and attacked this woman
This guy is the only one who I knew was lying without ever seeing body language, his laughing, high pitch voice, when confronted by his attorney about a gay lover. Come on…he did it and I feel sorry for his kids buying his story. P.S. you guys are great!
It's killing me that I can only give this 1 thumbs up!
I wish for 4: watch, listen, watch/listen, comment
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
"Shall we have a look at the pool? And I'll start making up stuff that happened down there?" LOL!
"...since it is the nicest place on the property."
He cracks me up!
Peterson is a piece of work, and what alarms me that many are enchanted by his types!!!
The fact he eventually took the Alford plea says everything we need to know. Evil incarnated
This guy really got under my skin, seen the documentary many times .. superiority and grandiose narcissism.. his son knows and most likely helped afterwards.. girls are cult like... he is seriously disturbing. You guys are amazing.
00000 bern009]]]p
I had almost a sick feeling listening to him. He was SO like my late friends husband who was abusive, and eventually murdered her for $100,000 insurance money. I was very young, had been threatened by him after I confronted him once I saw marks on her. There s so much to that whole thing..but this guy? Talk about a visceral reaction. I remember when b this happened. The amount of damage to that poor woman's body was NOT consistent with just falling down a staircase ( JMO) ..I've seen a lot of falls down stairs working ER. I'm probably biased because of my BF's murder..He just gives me a real gut feeling of " oh hell no", you're lying straight to everyone's face". I caught so many of his little slips of the way he worded things, the WAY he spoke..just totally rang false.
@@reneet5858 I totally felt the same way watching. I think the way he spoke was enough for me to know he was guilty. I also agree that the forensics spoke for itself and all the injuries to her body, was too much and not consistent with a fall.
Absolutely...just like a good ol narcissistic cult leader🤮
@Renee T I don't think you are biased because of your experience, I think your gut instinct is working correctly. After enough experience, our brain starts to see patterns. Sometimes the patterns are emotional or hard to decipher, appearing as a 'gut feeling'. Get em gurl.
Who would say "She's STILL breathing?" Wouldn't you just say "She's breathing?"
Yes! He phrases it that way as if it's a disappointment. I would say She's barely breathing, hurry!
and, that's the last time I saw her alive- well she was only barely alive . . .
I would have expected Michael Peterson to have blood on his hands and clothing from trying to save her ... applying pressure to bleeding wounds, CPR when she stopped breathing, asking 911 dispatcher what to do, but he did nothing because he killed her and then waited awhile to make sure she was dead and came up with his story before calling 911. She was his money supply. Peterson didn't do anything. If she left him he would have been out on the street.
Yeah! With his combat experience, why didn’t he grab towels to try to stop or slow the bleeding?
At 50.00, he describes the time at the crime scene. He mentions the police man around him with SO empathically that, that takes priority in his vain, guilty mind and not any real concern about the 'soulmate" who has just had a brutal end!
Mark’s comments on “leaving the plates” are brilliant💙🇬🇧
Absolutely concur with this, that was a very astute observation on Mark's behalf. The place was pristine, not a hope of any dirty dishes there I would reckon. I also found Mark extremely comical in this analysis, when he blew his nose, trying to distract the others 😂 All four, gel so well together and each add their own special unique observations. It's so fascinating. I'm waving at you from across the pond here in Ireland (Republic). Goodnight fellow panelist 💚🇮🇪 from across the water 😂
Why did Michael Peterson say his wife "took over his whole life", rather than his wife was his whole life? The meanings are very different.
Good point
I found that very odd too. They didn't pick up that either...think it's very telling! He wanted to live his life the way he wanted and couldn't do this with her alive in my opinion
Because he wasn't free to do things he wanted to do...being married to her prevented him from indulging in his fantasies
Yes interesting his choice of words. I think it’s very telling
As soon as I heard that I was like, "Yeah so then you took hers" 😒
The fact he was ok with a Netflix Documentary on the gruesome death of his wife tells me he thought very little of her.She was just a prop.Its a muder mystery to him and he believed he can outsmart everyone..
I learned from the Murdaugh case that 911 records calls before the 911 operator answers, very tricky! I wonder if all 911 switchboards across the country do this and were they doing it at the time of this call? It's very interesting to hear in the Murdaugh case how Alex isn't making a sound, then the 911 operator answers and bam he starts crying
What a creep.
I was seriously humbled when Mark noticed that their house wouldn’t be that clean to corroborate his story of leaving the dirty dishes. You guys pick up on everything! I wouldn’t have picked up on that if I had watched it multiple times, and maybe never. And then Chase did his analysis of the tenses he used haha. Wow. Mad respect guys, you make a world class team. I jump on every video you post ever since I stumbled on your channel. Like you’ve explained, I can tell this guy is full of it but you can explain why we sense it.
If your drinking a few bottles of wine, you might just leave the dishes on the coffee table...just saying :)
It seemed to me he was setting the scene as being: relaxed, leave the dishes we can do those tomorrow, lets crack open another bottle, sit out by the pool, you know not a care in the world atmosphere. To your point about how these guys pick up on things, I was only able to think of this because Marc pointed out the house being pretty much immaculate. They really are awesome.
Yes. Really amazing. It's always: you guys just said everything that I have. Let me point that... And then we have a master classe. There is always something else one of them find. I watch it laughing but amazed. I can't wait to read their books and watch their classes. 🚀
@@micheline3888 or if you have a maid, I don't know if they did or not??
I love all four of them, but Mark seems to bring in something that I never heard of or thought existed! I agree with you, @mattdufon :)
Mark killed me when he didn't ignore the guy blowing his nose into a paper bag!! Still laughing over Mark's reaction.
And at the end, he’s blowing his nose to show us how super distracting that was. 🤣
I think its brown tissue or hanky makes it look like a paperbag lol
🤣 hoped I wasn't the only one appreciating how funny that was.
@@UnkDrummer You are absolutely right. It's that paper towel that they have in public places, that looks like a paper bag.
Dude got away with murder
And the same thing happened to his previous wife
What do you mean? Lol he went to jail
@@allibaby56 He was sentenced to 86 months in prison, but had already served 98 months so he wasn't incarcerated due to time he had already served. Or did he go back in to jail?
Killed 2 wives (possibly)...prob wrote books on it in a pseudo name 😂😂
Ugh. He and the male prostitute are so nauseating. I absolutely believe he killed her and thought the Owl theory was absurd but the security footage of owl attacks near by were shocking. Again, he's guilty.
In the second video, his own attorney doesn't believe him! The look on his face, he stops making eye contact. He's bent over to a point to make sure he can't see him at all!!
You should see their reaction when they find out his first wife died exactly the same way!
It was the private investigator, not his lawyer. Also the lady who died in Germany was a "family friend." His first wife is still alive.
@@janeismycat 🙄
@@sammycinnamon7300 🤔 His first wife is alive
@@janeismycat Yes, this is correct, Patricia, his first wife, is alive, I'm not sure why someone said his first wife is dead when she is obviously alive and kicking, thankfully. . Elizabeth is the family friend that they initially thought died of natural causes. However, when they exhumed her body, the Coroner concluded Elizabeth had suffered blunt force trauma to the head. Also, yes, that is the PI. 🇮🇪💚
I worked at Nortel on a project for Kathleen. We were all so shocked to hear of what happened to her. Michael Peterson should be in prison instead of out on a technicality. It’s just wrong! I’ve seen him from time to time around town and he’s usually talking to himself. It is believed he murdered another woman years before Kathleen’s death and he was never convicted of that either. Same scenario - she too “supposedly” fell down a flight of stairs and he was the only adult there with her!
Far out that’s savage, & sad, why do people like this get off on such heinous crimes
Funny enough, you saying he is usually talking to himself comes as no surprise to me. Seems to fit as he just doesn't know when to shut up, he talks and talks .... he is so arrogant that he just thinks people are listening and missing out if they are not.
Love You guys! Seen a lot of body language analysis, but the 4 of you together makes a perfect match! You have a lot of eyes to analyse with and thats what makes this perfect! Subscribed to your channel!
What Scott calls 'EXTRA FACE', Ive always called 'CHANDLER FACE' From the series 'Friends'. His wife Monica wants them to have some professional photos done but just before the camera clicks he can't help pulling a silly face. Very funny scene.
I think Michael Peterson belongs to the last name beginning with a "P" club, who killed their mates: Oscar Pistorius, Michael Peterson, Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson. Wait a minute! I think maybe we'd better do an ancestry search regarding Peterson.
I love how Mark at 1:28 copies the guy blowing his nose in the video and no body noticed.. ha ha ha ha.
I caught that too.
Love you four!! Watching your channel was/still is a very welcomed and enjoyable distraction to a very trying year. I am so proud of you guys for your successes on RUclips.
I also learned a lot from you four gentlemen. I find myself remembering little tidbits of information you’ve shared and I cannot praise you all enough!
I find myself eager to hear all four of your comments and find each of you awesome in your own unique and individual way.
Here’s to hundreds of thousands more subscribers!! 💙 (I know I’m commenting on an older video and I know currently you have reached even higher milestones.)
I love watching you guys, a perfect combination of personalities and expertise. OMG "down the garden path" made me laugh so much Mark :)
Can we talk about how he says “Catherine took up my whole life.” instead of something like “she was my whole life.” 🤭 weird word choice.
I believe this would have been called a Freudian slip decades ago. He has alluded to the idea that he wasn’t free to do what he wanted. She had him shackled. Clipped his wings. He needed to get rid of her so he could fly again. Is this what you meant?
Right?!? What a piece of work!
@@claudiapoe5292 yes! that sounds right! Tries to make it sound endearing but word choice suggests something else! Thank you for putting a name on it ☺️
@@harrietthespy2119 so odd!! Smh!
Good catch
The one thing that I caught ( which aligns with Mark's observation on the 'Clean House') is that he FIRST said they 'Went to the Kitchen' but then 'Back Pedaled' regarding the 'leaving the dishes for the next day' ... My first thought was if they were already on their way to the kitchen, the dishes would have been second nature for most people to simply take with them.
Yes you are right especially because the kitchen is on the path to the deck. There was a purpose in leaving the dishes behind. It was planned by Peterson to be a key part of his alibi. This was a carefully preplanned premeditated murder and not a murder that resulted from an argument and a confrontation. Peterson knows he is going to be a suspect after he murders Kathleen and the left behind dishes are left behind to represent a future tomorrow where he and Kathleen could clean up at their leisure. Only he knew that tomorrow was a future that Kathleen would never know.
He ambushed Kathleen from behind seconds after they left the TV room at the bottom of the back staircase.
The dishes being left stood out to me too. It seems so bizarre that this couple with a picture perfect life would just leave dirty dishes sitting around to deal with the next day when it would have been easier to take them to the kitchen when they left the room. I think they got into an argument while having dinner, events unfolded from there, and that's why the dishes were still in the living room when the police arrived. Nothing about them strikes me as people that would leave dirty dishes sitting around overnight.
Kathleen found out about his homosexuality by reading his emails and they fought. I’m betting the thought of having to split up his assets with her because she was probably talking divorce was her doom.
It was everything, he was a freeloader, who lied about his military career, and he was a failing author. He needed her money, and her talking about his gay lifestyle would not be good for his career and image. He knew she wasn't cool with the affair, especially with a dude, so he knew it was the end. And, it wasn't just career embarrassment, it was about how his kids and friends would view him as well.
He couldn't have dinner with "someone," but he could have sex? That's bizarre. Typically, sex is more intimate than dinner, no?

When the clip played again I could only hear Mickey Mouse speak ! Was so spot on 😂
Lol
As a retired police/fire dispatcher of 20+ years of experience, I immediately knew he was "the guy" (as Monk would say😁)...everything you fab four said about the 911 call is right on! ❤
There should be a special Peterson section in prison. Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson and now Michael Peterson and all are guilty of horrible crimes!
Right?!
I was always on this fence with this guy. Now rewatching he is oh so obviously guilty. Had a gay affair and got caught.
The guy blowing his nose in the paper bag 🤣🤣🤣 I died! I didn't even NOTICE the first time!
Neither did I ! It's like that film of a man in a gorilla suit walking through a basketball game. Viewing students were asked to watch and count particular actions of each team. Result? Nobody saw the gorilla at all because concentration required to count and observe blocked out all other perception. I think we were transfixed and concentrating on the accused!!
Mark was absolutely on fire tonight! He had me laughing so hard! I KNEW he was going to do the Penelope Pitstop and he did not disappoint. Inconceivable! The "WHAT is GOING ON?!" with the nose blowing... almost killed me. I almost spat my coffee out way too many times during this video. I just want to say this guy is crazy enough to be out at 4am buying milk protein for his tigers. Love you guys! Been with you since the beginning and you never disappoint. Thank you and congratulations, gentlemen!
😂 me too, it was hilarious... And so loud 🙉 💚🇮🇪
@@fuzzyfreckle1341 😂🤣
@@heatherepperson1392 He was certainly on 🔥 😂
He really was hilarious! I don’t know how Chase sits so stoic while Mark is cracking the rest of us up.
I miss the book though. Remember when Mark and Scott kept holding up Chase’s book every time someone mentioned a “digital extension”?
@@Vmurph 😂🤣 these guys are just great in every way. They’re just the right combination of everything a men should be. They act surprised when we swoon. 😂 their chemistry is so great! What about, “never in the history of ever, has someone seen poop in the toilet and thought, hmm, there’s been a crime committed here.” That one got me good. 😂🤣
No doubt in my mind that he killed her. Ex wife died simular ways.
My gut told me something aint right with him, always trust your gut
That wasn't his ex wife. His ex wife actually defended him, she was close friend of the family he never was intimate with (supposedly).
If he didn't do it he's one hell of an unlucky fella to lose her the same way he lost the German lady😮
You guys are AWESOME!!! Week after week I CAN'T WAIT to see the newest video!!!
I laughed out loud so many times! Watching Chase & Greg trying (and often failing) not to break out laughing is my favourite!!!
This is 2nd time he found a dead woman that has “fallen” down stairs. No coincidence for sure.
I'm a dispatcher and I have uninvolved RPs say, "get someone here now!" Sometimes. However the, "there's been an accident", would have felt off to me.
Could you give us some insight about how "real" his 911 call sounds to you compared to calls you received?
I would love to know!
YES! I was thinking how helpful it would be to know what normal calls sound like!
More input from you would be very helpful if you can.
I'm on shift, but will answer this as soon as I can. Thank you for asking!
@@kimberlypayetta3476 Great, thank you for making the time! I'm looking forward to it! 🤗
