It's a very hard thing to grow up and see what others see about the father you worship.

This is one of the worst attempts to hide one’s identity I’ve ever heard. It’s ridiculous. I can’t believe John or his first wife thought taking photos and staying in the same house was a great idea after faking his death. Great work Doc, as always.
Right? The fake limp does my head in. "Oh, that guy kind of looks like John Darwin with a beard. But John didn't have a limp and this guy does, so it couldn't be John. "
Hi I don’t mean to be nosy.. I listen to Professor Sam Valkin he is such a good man! I don’t mean to be bragging on but somebody told me he was a genius, I looked him up, and then I realize no wonder I have learned so much from this person and his teachings. After all you can’t argue with success! Please go about looking him up on RUclips you won’t be disappointed I promise. And what would we do without this lovely man Dr. Grande, he is so logical and sweet and funny! It’s a blessing to get his content sometimes twice a day! He’s the busiest psychiatrist/ psychologist in the world. Best of all, you can see that he cares. Good luck to your daughter I hope she remains human.
Hi Dr. Grande. A other great video, always on point analysis. I've heard of people faking their deaths but then they got caught and got in serious trouble. What an irresponsible idiot who only cared about himself & how much money he could steal. Peace and awesome times to you and your family, Love, Janine Smiley😀🙂😎🤩😍
@@andreawillingham8377 I looked this up and no, they weren’t in on it. Part of their own fury at their mom was the fact that she had lied to them about their father’s death.
Funny how more often than not child sex offenders get lighter sentences than minor financial fraudsters.. 🤷♂️ The good old capitalist justice system ✊ 🤣🙈
This happened not far from me in the North East of England. Funniest prank: they lived in 'Seaton Carew', so someone crossed out 'Carew' on a road sign & wrote 'Canoe' instead! The town was known as 'Seaton Canoe' for ages.
Hi Yes you did well with this. I am from the North of England and familiar with this case. It is documented that Ann didn't want to go along with the plan but felt obliged to due to coercive control. John was seen walking around Seaton Carew and people just found it amusing. The road sign for Seaton Carew had some graffiti added to it so it read "Seaton Carew - Twinned With Panama.
She deferred to him on all things financial, as he was from a family that had invested well and also better at maths than her. His being a bank manager also contributed to this.
I’m from the UK and everyone was talking about this case. I was at school at the time and everyone’s parents were saying what an idiot he didn’t even get that much money for it.
Reginald Perrin 🤣😂. This is one of them stories that you don’t forget, one of them stories when you just think WTF?? I was young when this happened even back then I thought what an idiot. But now that I’m older and have kids myself it beggars belief. If he was going to get a million or something and told his family what’s happening then I could understand that. But letting your own kids believe that you are dead is just sickening and all this for a 100 grand. It’s not even worth it, with 100 grand what can you do? Pay off your mortgage and buy a nice car and maybe a nice holiday of your lucky and that’s it.
They were both responsible for this scheme. I find it difficult to believe that their sons could ever have a relationship with either of their parents.
I recall reading research once on why people choose to voluntarily join cults and disengage from generalized society. Some cult members studied reported feeling disillusioned in regards to burdens and responsibilities life placed on them. They wanted to return to a simpler time where they could be in a more protected child like state. Unfortunately if one chooses to take the passenger seat in life the driver may not always take you to the promise land. John Darwin reminds me of this type of discontentment. Nice one Dr G 🌵thought provoking as always. Have a good one.🌻
There used to bea show in the UK called Reginald Perrin where he failed his own death by running into the sea, lots of people drew comparisons when this came out. 😄
Hi dr. Grande. Thanks to watching your videos I now know that my ex husband is a manipulative person with psychopathic and narcissistic traits. It’s strange how this man conditioned me and our daughter during our marriage. All the boxes check. Your videos made me look farther into the topic and I sure did learn a lot. Now at least I can say to myself that the failure of our marriage wasn’t on me. It’s like this huge weight falling from my shoulders. Off course I go to a psychologist to be treated and yes, she did say the same thing. Still having something saying and analysing it in different ways made me see the light. Thanks so much. I do appreciate your work.
Ha ha ha, I'm looking forward to hearing your take on this Dr Grande 🙂 Seaton Carew where he was from, is just local to me. I've been there many times, it's only little but there's a lovely little beach and you could get fabulous fish and chips from there. This was all reported on my local news channels as the story developed, from him being reported as missing, until he was imprisoned. Also his wifes' case. We all laugh about it now but it endangered the lives of the lifeboat crews who had to go out searching the North Sea for him. I think that's what bothers me most about this case, as opposed to the money lost by the insurance companies. As it happens, they've just made a new 4 part tv series about him and his wife, from the clips I've seen, it looks like they've put some comedy in there, so I'm looking forward to watching it. As an aside, it's part of the Hartlepool area and local legend has it that the late, great Meatloaf was a fan of their football ( soccer to you Americans ) club and it was rumoured he was going to buy a house there. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing your take on John Darwin, Dr Grande. 🙂
Dr. G’s voice calms me - I hear truth and competency. Even the paid promotion is pleasant. John was a curious man, indeed 🤔 Nice video today 👌 Thank you for working to create these for us.
I knew a highschool math teacher in my area who couldn't deal with paying bills or most other mundane tasks of everyday life. His wife had to organize and look after these matters. When he retired on a COLA guaranteed for life generous teacher's pension, he cashed it all in and threw it at the Stock Market, hoping to gain a larger return than what he was receiving. Tried to convince his other retired teacher friends to do the same; no one followed his strategy. Ended up losing it all. Luckily his wife also receives a private pension, that she wouldn't allow him access to.
Dr Grande, I'm a big fan. I noticed you don't turn on advertisements on your videos. Love your passion. I can only speak for myself, but I'd happily watch advertisements to watch your content. Another way to get reimbursement for your time/talents.
❤️Oh how I love your dry humor, the way you can be SO INFORMATIVE but throw in those little Gems like a word Ninja- these videos have become like a daily "Friend", I ALWAYS look forward to the notification! Also, I even think your sponsor choices are SMART, with Hello Fresh and the stamps, I don't mail things as much as I used to, but I'll definitely get the stamps I DO need from your link! Thank you for another entertaining video Dr. G, and Hello to all my fellow "Grande Groupies"!! 🤓🌵😘🧠❤️🥰
I really enjoyed that video! The thing about even ppl who may be smarter than most other persons is that they might be mistaken about being smarter than many ppl collectively or systems.
Dear Dr. Grande, can you make a video about the question and analyze what makes soldiers commit war crimes, such as rape and killing non armed civilians? The whole world is asking this question.
What a complex life. Sounds like he played one too many games 🖼🎩🔎of Clue haha. Narcissists sure put alot of energy into deceit. Love your analysis. Thanks Dr G😊💙💙
She was an active co conspirator; her role in perpetrating the deception and obtaining the fraudulent benefits was essential to the success of the criminal venture. He couldn't have done this alone. The dead can't apply for their life insurance payout.
I'm going to order it soon, can't wait! I'm sure it will be amazing, coming from the mind of Dr. Grande!! Best of luck and fun on your trip, and curling up with a GREAT Book!! 🤗❤️
Thanks, Dr Grande, I've never heard of this case before. John really got around for a dead guy. “Denn die Todten reisen schnell” --- Bram Stokers, Dracula.
Love your videos. I am never disappointed. And over the last week or so watching you kind of washes away the Will Smith Jada Pinkett unpleasant residue. 😵💫
Thank you for covering this case, I remember it coming to light in the UK. It was stunning how much the couple lied, and they way they adapted the house to hide him. Plus lying to their sons for all that time.
Dr Grande, read the book Exit the Rainmaker. A true story of a drama instructor at some college. He was seriously in debt. Therefore he faked his death, and got a new life.
Dr Todd thanks for the in-depth analysis of this case, I especially enjoyed it as I am from the north east 🇬🇧. I have a suggestion for another case from around here, Mr Albert Dryden.
Dr. Grande *almost* cracked a smile at the part where the current wife clarified that the life insurance would be good for her. Wonder what happened to the Kansas farm?
THANK YOU DR G 😊 You are so good at choosing the people you do. Very interesting and you are always up to date and IN THE KNOW 😜lol Thanks again for being you ♥️
Thank you for the videos they’re appreciated by psychology majors. I’m so disturbed by the Jessica Camilleri case and would love to hear your take on the personality and mental health factors
I enjoy your analyses so much. You remain professional and objective and your plays on words are witty and hilarious; 😉absolute music to my ears. Love it.
Thank you for another great video! How on earth was that man able to get through airport security? Did he just use his old passport, or did he get a fake ID?
Its so great to be back, what a weird and ridiculous story .That was the problem John, was unable to do thing skills, I have no sympathy for the parents, but I do for the sons . Thank you Dr Grande, Brilliant analysis and topic.
My favorite part starts around 8:07 ... "Maybe they intended on offering something like the fake your own death vacation getaway package." And I also liked the part at around 1:24 ... "This makes me wonder what kind of math John was teaching for 18 years."
It’s unbelievable the things people do to avoid responsibility. I think the worst of it all was lying to their sons. I can’t even imagine the pain they must have felt while growing up, believing they lost their father in a such a terrible manner just to find out it was all a lie. Those boys could have learned a great deal of sacrifice, honesty and the value of hard work if John would have owned his failures and rebuilt his life all over again. He could have set an incredible example of greatness for his sons, instead he chose to cause pain by deceiving the ones he was supposed to protect and guide. Wonderful job as per usual, thank you Dr. Grande.❤️
Another one I remember so well and couldn’t believe at the time!! I have read so many books and analysis of this case. You have nailed it in approx 14 mins . Excellent as usual. Thank you and keep them coming. How about In Broad Daylight. Murder in Sedgemore? If you have not looked into it yet ?

What a complex life. Sounds like he played one too many games 🖼🎩🔎of Clue haha. Narcissists sure put alot of energy into deceit. Love your analysis. Thanks Dr G😊💙💙
We are finally, home, my dear friend 😴😜🌷🌹🎋🎋✉
@@cottontails9003 😊💝🙌🌷🏡
Was wondering when you would cover this one. Thank you,from England.
Omg I can't believe you did this one!..I was just thinking about this the other day!❤ty so much!❤😀
Nice, got my daily Dr G fix!!!
Thankyou for all your hard work for our behalf, we love your stories ,council, and humor, Thankyou
Just sat down for the night, what perfect timing 👌
This needs to be a Netflix tv series for sure. So many aspects that could be amped up to make it even more interesting.
Netflix is garbage unfortunately.
I was hoping you would analyse this!
Good afternoon Dr. Grande.
The faking of one’s death to avoid consequences hits close to home. As always Dr. G elucidates life. Thanks again.
I’m confused as to why Ann was given 3xtra months more than John in sentencing. He was the actual perpetrator; she just went along. 🤨
She kept him hidden in the attic
@@mandychadwick6823 and..she was a beneficiary collecting the proceeds.
She was an active co conspirator; her role in perpetrating the deception and obtaining the fraudulent benefits was essential to the success of the criminal venture. He couldn't have done this alone. The dead can't apply for their life insurance payout.
She filed a false insurance claim, not John. It would be a bit awkward for John to file a claim when he is supposed to be dead.
The money went to her. She actively participated.
Always interesting.
Love the humor.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
Okay, Dr. Grande! I see you with your sponsors. Your channel is just continuing to flourish. I'm here for all of this! 🎉🙌🏾🥳
Definitely a Darwin Award winner!
Haaha, yes Catherine! You beat me to it 🤭🤭🤭
Haha beat me too
don't forget the Will Stockdale PLO and Forrest Gump awards
yep .. a Darwin for a Darwin
I just said that, too!
I think I suggested doing this, or meant to ask, so thank you Dr Grande. This was a mad case over here - you couldn’t make it up!
Very helpful analysis of this case, I followed it closely at the time.
John looked non dead 😂 i remember this one!! Much love from the UK 🇬🇧 between Dr Grande and Mr Ballen I spend my life of YT
I just got your book in the mail! I'm taking Harm Reduction to the beach in Punta Cana in May... so excited 😊
I'm going to order it soon, can't wait! I'm sure it will be amazing, coming from the mind of Dr. Grande!! Best of luck and fun on your trip, and curling up with a GREAT Book!! 🤗❤️
Also...I LOVE your screen name, so Good and creative- maybe YOU should write a book!!
Dr. Grande, do you take recommendations? And if so, where? I'd love to hear your take on the bizarre case of Cindy James. Love your content, always!
I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Dr Grande, I've never heard of this case before. John really got around for a dead guy.
“Denn die Todten reisen schnell” --- Bram Stokers, Dracula.
Thank you! I remember when this happened, but had forgotten about it.
Never heard the latter parts.
Love your videos. I am never disappointed. And over the last week or so watching you kind of washes away the Will Smith Jada Pinkett unpleasant residue. 😵💫
You're on a roll today, Dr. G. 😂😂💯👍👉❤️
Thank you for case and the hard work you put into this! I appreciate it
Thank you for covering this case, I remember it coming to light in the UK. It was stunning how much the couple lied, and they way they adapted the house to hide him. Plus lying to their sons for all that time.
Thank you for all your videos Mr Grande , very interesting. . . Can you please make a video of Glenn Gould, Canadian classical pianist.
Omg Dr Grande covering case from my home town.
Dr Grande, read the book Exit the Rainmaker. A true story of a drama instructor at some college. He was seriously in debt. Therefore he faked his death, and got a new life.
Dr Todd thanks for the in-depth analysis of this case, I especially enjoyed it as I am from the north east 🇬🇧. I have a suggestion for another case from around here, Mr Albert Dryden.
Dr. Grande *almost* cracked a smile at the part where the current wife clarified that the life insurance would be good for her. Wonder what happened to the Kansas farm?
That's been my question lol he never revisited that
Like most equestrian business adventures, it probably ended in bankruptcy.
THANK YOU DR G 😊
You are so good at choosing the people you do. Very interesting and you are always up to date and IN THE KNOW 😜lol
Thanks again for being you ♥️
Thank you for the videos they’re appreciated by psychology majors. I’m so disturbed by the Jessica Camilleri case and would love to hear your take on the personality and mental health factors
I don't understand how they could do this!
I asked if you could do this one! Im glad you did it, whether you did it by suggestions or not!
Love this man’s sense of humour!
I enjoy your analyses so much. You remain professional and objective and your plays on words are witty and hilarious; 😉absolute music to my ears. Love it.
Wow I remember this case..you provided much more info..all about bloody money..love from England 🇬🇧
The things people do for money!!
Thank you for another great video!
How on earth was that man able to get through airport security? Did he just use his old passport, or did he get a fake ID?
great job ...could you display conversions between US and UK (or otherwise)?
What conversions?
@@eadweard. pounds to dollars specifically
@@cthuthu333 Oh yeah. Rodney Dangerfield and HP Lovecraft is an odd combination though.
@@eadweard. i'm a bit of an odd combination
Perfect timing dr Grande 💙
Its so great to be back, what a weird and ridiculous story .That was the problem John, was unable to do thing skills, I have no sympathy for the parents, but I do for the sons . Thank you Dr Grande, Brilliant analysis and topic.
My favorite part starts around 8:07 ... "Maybe they intended on offering something like the fake your own death vacation getaway package." And I also liked the part at around 1:24 ... "This makes me wonder what kind of math John was teaching for 18 years."
Yes, I laughed out loud at both of them!
I love your sense of humor. :)
Tippecanoe and Tyler too!
The best (!) presentation ever - funny, witty and clever! Bravo!
🇺🇸🇫🇷🇺🇸
It’s unbelievable the things people do to avoid responsibility. I think the worst of it all was lying to their sons. I can’t even imagine the pain they must have felt while growing up, believing they lost their father in a such a terrible manner just to find out it was all a lie. Those boys could have learned a great deal of sacrifice, honesty and the value of hard work if John would have owned his failures and rebuilt his life all over again. He could have set an incredible example of greatness for his sons, instead he chose to cause pain by deceiving the ones he was supposed to protect and guide.
Wonderful job as per usual, thank you Dr. Grande.❤️
The arrogance of people to do something like this and think they will get away with it...
Another one I remember so well and couldn’t believe at the time!! I have read so many books and analysis of this case. You have nailed it in approx 14 mins . Excellent as usual. Thank you and keep them coming. How about In Broad Daylight. Murder in Sedgemore? If you have not looked into it yet ?
So many lessons to be learned here. Dont start shell companies in Panama could be one of them?
Great show, Dr. Grande. Great Alliteration as well. Thank you!
I always enjoy your videos, this time, your sarcasm is out of this world. I am dead serious.
Of course, the only correct response to "I thought you were dead!" is "Yeah, I got better."
"I thought I was dead, but got a second opinion"
@@rhuephus 😂🤣 This made me laugh, thanks!!! 💖
Thank you
The clever remarks in this one had me rolling. Thanks Dr. Grande.
Hilarious sarcasm in this one Doc! Nice to see a few Brit stories here, from a fan across the pond.
GEEZ Dr. Grande YOU FINALLY have a sponsored ad! Don’t hold back, use those sponsors you surely deserve it!
