    • @Krolted
      @Krolted 8 месяцев назад +2

      That’s not the weirdest part. Every side hired their own expert to work against each other regarding some topics that show no room for speculation. Experts acted strange and slightly emotional, answered questions outside their specialty. Son suddenly found a key evidence but doesn’t call the police to investigate? It’s against the law especially after finding a potential murder weapon, you’re required to call the police, no photographer or personal investigator needed. We received information that Elizabeth was in fact murdered by blunt force but no separate investigation was made. What’s with the sisters digging up old stories and, what’s that all about? Sexual orientation? What’s going on with the daughters? Are they inside a cult or is that just how rich families operate? How come no one seems to care about the mothers death, they seem to be fine thinking that she fell and that’s that, end of the story no alternative. Since I’m an emotional creature I do have the strong feeling that he is guilty, but after watching the series I don’t see how he got evicted. There was no motive. No weapon. No witnesses. There’s only the body, the blood and Liz death in Germany which he’s not guilty of though. That’s just not enough to proof that you can say for sure. Just sketchy stuff. I didn’t enjoy the series, strange camera povs and lots of strange people. I belobe they’re all from a different dimension than me

      They didn't use the owl in the defense. They didn't even think of it! But if you actually research the full theory, it fits the evidence the most!
      She was attacked in the front yard. A blood trail was found from the front to the stairs. She then fainted. They also said that their were feathers in her hand. The defense attorney assumed it was from a pillow, but didn't think it was important. It also matches the head wounds. Lacerations without skull fractures. This doesn't happen in a beating to the head.

      @@truthtransistorradio6716 Absolutely no way there would be THAT much blood on the WALLS of the stairway unless she was beaten there. The autopsy showed signs of a beating. And owls don't decide to attack people out of the blue if ever. It was in the early hours of the morning. No way, Kathleen was outside bothering an owl at that time of night. She likely confronted Michael at the pool about what she'd just seen on his computer and threatened divorce. He likely became enraged and started attacking her. No doubt, she ran, trying to get to the house to lock the door.

    Why does no one ever suspect that the stairs were the weapon, 2 examples: they are arguing, he walks up the stairs she follows, he turns and pushes her, she falls backwards hits her head. He then comes down steps over her, foot print explained, then continues to hit her head repeatedly againt the step. Or they are arguing at the bottom of the stairs, in the hallway he pushes her, again she falls backwards hits her head and then he repeatedly hits her head against the stairs or wall. Wood explains blunt force trauma without fracture. Why does there have to be a hand held weapon? If someone grabs your head and begins hitting it against a stair, may also explain clump of her hair in her hand, trying to get him to let go, grabbing at the hand on your head, and pulling out a clump of hair. Lots of ways the the stairs could be the 'weapon'. Owl feathers: picked up from resting your head on an out door pool lounger, as well as the twig.

    I think he killed her BUT I don’t think he had a fair trial or that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt he did it.

Why didn’t he give her CPR or mouth to mouth-he’d been trained in it? Why was the blood dry? He killed her earlier in the evening probably after an argument and then later called it in.

    Owl theory: She was hit with a sturdy branch. They found fragments of wood and microscopic owl feather (micoroscopic owl feathers could easily have been on the branch since Owls perch on branches. If you think of the shape of branches, they are irregular and can have a trident formation. I believe he hit her with a heavy branch (something that could easily be disposed of; hid initially and then disposed of via burning or even just driving a distance and disposing of it). Because she had neck injuries that show great pressure to the neck - something an owl could NOT possibly do, the fact that there was another staircase death with him involved. To me says not an owl. If she was attached by an owl wouldn’t she have tried to call for Micheal while it was happening and while she was outside - I’de be screaming bloody murder! And the a fact that it was 50 degrees and he still was sitting outside smoking a pipe at 2 in the morning in shorts and a T-shirt. So many other pieces of evidence rule out that she was attacked by an owl. It doesn’t make sense. Also, sound carries an enormous distance at that time if night/morning, he would or should have heard something. I can’t believe she would have been silent during the attack and then just went inside without calling out to him.

    The thing about this story that always astounded me is that the investigators and blood spatter analyst could never conceive of any other way for him to have injured his wife than using an instrument to beat her with, and the spatter evidence did not support that hypothesis. However, it is clear she died of blunt force head trauma. This was done by him grabbing her by her hair and beating her head on the stairs and landing. He did beat her to death. He just didn't use any blunt instrument. He just grabbed her head and beat it into the stairs. If you put that puzzle piece into the narrative, it all suddenly makes sense how he did it, and why there was no weapon. Can't believe the investigators never even conceived of this scenario, in any analyses or documentary I've watched about this case.

    • @steveo4k922

      They did consider this. The problem was there was no skull fractures, brain bleeding, edema, etc. Rudolf literally pulled out over 250 cases where there was a beating death and ALL had some form of skull fracture.
      If Michael had done this in the way you said, he would have fractured her skull somewhere. The stairs are too solid for them not to. Her only injuries were lacerations to the skull. That's why they needed something somewhat solid yet HOLLOW to inflict the injuries.. . Hence, the blowpoke.
      How do you beat someone to death over the head using ANYTHING and NOT fracture their skull?
      I think he just let her bleed out.

      They needed "Dexter" to explain the blood spatter! I think it is possible he broke her hyoid while holding her neck and later her hair to bang her head against the stairs, maybe just scraping the stair above to cause the lacerations. Even if skull fracture is typical in such cases, he could have banged her head with less force because he was in a rage and was just trying to "make her shut up".

      @NobodyUndefined 2 года назад +30

      In all honesty I really think the owl theory is true. If you think about it, she had a clump of her hair in her hands, pulled from the root. If an owl was attacking your head, you would do anything you could to get it off, if you felt something you thought was the owl you would yank it as hard as you could. This explains why she had her hair in her hand, if he was attacking her with that stick then she wouldn't pull at her head, she would try defending it. Also, the owl feathers and branch in her hair is literally inexpiable, owl feathers in your hair would make sense if an owl was attacking your head.
      Also, you can say it's a coincidence that both his wives died the same way but for one isn't it a coincidence that her head markings matched an owls? Also this would also make it different than his first wife, people's spouses dying like this is very rare but it still happens. And owl attacks are rare but that doesn't mean they don't happen. His timing was off by an hour but honestly recalling time can be hard for some people and there's the whole thing of why didn't he hear her screaming but if I'm not wrong his daughters were in that house and didn't hear any either. It's a common misconception that EVERYONE would scream while being attacked as some people could be so scared they lose their ability to do so. I understand that the owl theory is a stretch but the owl feathers and clump of hair are damning.

      Suddenly, it turns out that Michael is a mastermind capable of manipulating the German army, but he is not capable of inventing a new way to assassinate someone? How weird isn't it?

I think he killed her but owls are sons of bitches and can do some damage. Lost one of my sweet free range chickens to one a few days ago. The only bright white one of the bunch so she was easiest to see in the dark..... swooped right down and grabbed her and flew off without leaving a trace. A woman’s hair could easily be mistaken as the fur of prey to an owl, especially at night. The other murder being connected to him is what makes that theory unbelievable to me.

When I was in 5th grade my parents were doing the annual cleaning of the outside of our house and it’s 2 stories and the wooden ladder broke from under my mom and she fell from the 2nd story. She broke a large clay planter pot with her head and I remember when my dad ran inside to call 911 and I went outside to see what happened my mom was laying still but there was so puddle of blood no large gashes that needed sutures just permanent internal injuries and such like 6 herniated discs in her thoracic and a bad concussion. She has to undergo a procedure yearly to get injections on her spine but there was no puddle of blood like you’d assume there would be .... and she broke a clay planter and hit the concrete driveway . A similar thing happened to our neighbor up the road who unfortunately passed away but there wasn’t a large puddle of external blood ... she died of internal brain bleeding when her head hit the concrete. I’ve always thought this case was suspicious it’s sickening but also very clear she did not just die from a fall down the stairs - it’s possible to die but there wouldn’t be that much blood

      My dad fell head first down unfinished stairs this last summer. About 22 narrow stairs, with sharp edges and hit his head on the bottom doorframe at the end of the stairs. Similar layout to this. He was in a coma for 4 days and the internal bleeding made his head swell up unimaginable. He broke his nose and arm, and yet there were only two small drips of blood from his nose. He survived and is doing well but is a little funnier. The fact that was so traumatic and yet there was almost NO blood is bright red flags to how both of these staircase murders looked. How sick that he is free.

Pile that on with the son already being there before paramedics, the blood being dry, the blood smear on Michael’s pants, and the shoe prints, is enough to scream suspicion.
    And literally anyone walking into their house late at night and stumbling upon that gruesome scene wouldn’t have automatically assumed that their wife fell down the stairs like Michael did in the 911 call.

    My theory: the printed copies of his messages with the escort could've been printed off by Kathleen. Hear me out. She found out and wanted to confront him so she printed it off and stashed it in his drawers so he'd find it and know that she knows. This would make it so she didn't have to confront him face to face but still kinda confronts him. He finds them and then he was worried that she was going to leave and that would leave him financially unstable. So he either panicked and killed her for the life insurance or he planned it for the life insurance money. Probably attacked her with the fire poker thing which could've easily had wood and owl feathers on it from the fire place/wood pile. Feathers and wood are common there. It makes sense.
    (Edit/Updated theory)
    Someone pointed out that his actions are theorised to be premeditated because of how similar Elizabeth's and Kathleen's murders were. I agree and that changes my theory slightly.
    He could've found the affair conversations she printed out and decided she needed to go for financial reasons mentioned in the video and in my comment. He then most likely looked at Elizabeth's murder as being a template because of how successful he was. He got away with it and hardly anyone questioned it at all. He then couldve planned to kill Kathleen in a similar way because he thought he'd get away with it like he did with Elizabeth. He knew it couldn't be identical so he changed the stories up a little however the way in which he killed the two was quite similar. This indicates that he wanted to recycle the method because it was so successful.
    Thank you to the person who pointed out the flaw in my theory.

And the leaves depending on the wind very well could have recovered the chairs. But I do believe he is guilty just playing devils advocate too. And if he’s ex military he could be more healthy than an average 60 year old depending on his actual MOS in the military. But again he’s probably guilty

      Right, I grew up with all kinds of wild life, including owls, in FL not NC but like owls don't randomly attack they're provoked into attack so why would this owl randomly attack in a place frequented by people? They tend to stay away from human activity in my experience...

    Okay the “Owl Theory”- my argument against it. So barn owls were common in that area and they had been sitting outside at night. We have lots of birds around our house and any wind will get them along with sticks, dirt and everything organic all over everything. What if A) she was sitting outside and laid against the backrest of a chair that had some twigs and feathers stuck in it and they got caught in her hair? Or B) what if Michael beat her with an object that was outside and had a few bird feathers and other organic matter on it? I would believe those more than an owl attacking her and ripping her skull to shreds. 🤷🏻‍♀️
