LakeGal April 12, 2015 Share April 12, 2015 In the first case I hope the live-in girlfriend is not still with the doctor. He seemed to be a serial cheater. The breast cancer doctor was probably a great doctor to her patients. But they did not know anything about her personal life. She was obsessive with her relationship to the doctor. In the second case it really reminded me of that case in California where the woman's family killed her ex (while delivering a plant) so she could have the child. Where do these crazy families come from? A normal family tells their daughter to find a way to live with sharing the child with the ex. They don't agree to help murder him so they can all have the child to themselves. Kathleen really just wanted a baby. She was a kindergarten teacher and loved children. She didn't want a husband. She wanted the child. She really should have went to a sperm bank and saved everyone a lot of heartache. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/12/#findComment-1027670

In terms of Kathleen being inflexible as a teacher, I did teach school, but I purposely did not take the classes to get my certification to teach kindergarten. I realized during my education classes in college that one needed to have a certain personality to be successful teaching kindergarten because the children are so young. I knew that I didn't have that personality, and Kathleen certainly didn't either. Teaching requires flexibility, but even more flexibility is needed in a kindergarten classroom. Kathleen didn't know the meaning of the word, so I wonder how successful she was as a teacher? Kathleen's calls will be monitored for the rest of her life since she's slated to spend the next 50+ years behind bars. I think she's the most important one to monitor, given that she was the ringleader who we heard berate her mother on the phone about screwing up with the picture. Hopefully, her mother will be on supervised probation for awhile once she's served her seven years.

canaanite2 May 2, 2015 Share May 2, 2015 (edited) This case was about the shooter's personality and attitude as much as it was about the evidence. Both the police and the jury saw the dangerous empathy-free potential psychopath beyond the evidence. The wife was just as bad, but she was smart enough not to be the one to pull the trigger. I'm sure there's more to their story. These people were ANGRY, and you can say they were rightfully angry given their circumstances, but somewhere along the line they crossed over into plotting a murder. They WANTED to kill someone. They reveled at the opportunity when it arrived. It was premeditated. That email that sent to their neighbors was probably a part of the plan. These are very sick people. The victim, flawed as he was in his judgment, was nowhere near the level of criminal that this couple was. Reading some more about the case, it turns out that there were three witnesses who heard him state that he was planning on killing intruders, so that's one more than the two women shown on Dateline. Also, more detail on the previous burglaries. Prosecutors allege Kaarma and Pflager set a trap for intruders who had burglarized the home twice before in the weeks prior to the shooting. But Dede was not responsible for those burglaries. Police have since interviewed two other teenagers who confessed to those crimes.The 16-year-old and 18-year-old males told officers they took a black wallet with credit cards, an iPhone, a blue and pink wallet with credit cards, a marijuana grinder, a marijuana bong, and a jar of marijuana from Kaarma’s garage and unlocked cars in the driveway. Their names have not been released and it’s unknown if charges will be filed against them. Who the F leaves this kind of stuff in unlocked cars in the driveway? Wallets with credit cards plus marijuana. These aren't things you forget to bring inside with you. It sounds like they might have been trying to lure in burglars before the shooting incident. I know that sounds extra sinister, but i wouldn't put it past them. Then there's this: Missoula County Attorney Karla Painter later asked Pflager if she said during a phone call with Kaarma in jail that she and Kaarma wouldn't pay for the Dedes' "dirty rat son" to be sent back to Germany for burial.Pflager said she didn't recall saying that. Obviously the statement was recorded. These jail conversations were probably full of disgusting insensitive comments. This couple feeds off of one another's negativity. I think the world is a little bit safer with them separated by prison walls.

I don't think all theft is equal. Kids stealing credit cards is not the same as stealing beer. It's a petty crime to me. I can see how there are different perceptions formed on a person depending on if they stole alcohol or if they stole larger scale items. Stealing alcohol from somebody's house is still stealing, which I know you're not disputing, but I don't think his theft should get softened with words such as "petty" and "teenage". I completely get where you're coming from, as I stole from a store when I was 17 (and like Diren, it wasn't something I'd usually do), and in retrospect, I deserved an ass-kicking. In my opinion, theft takes on a much bigger context when it's someone's house at night vs. a store. If he took alcohol from a store and got shot, I'd have a different opinion. That has nothing to do with my own crime because I'm not defending that at all, but I think in a store, it's way easier to track what's stolen and assess the threat compared to a stranger you can't see in the dark coming into your residence to do who knows what. IDK, I guess I see a guy that's more defiant than repentant, and that probably did him no favors.

I was hoping the defense would bring up the possibility that he was letting off steam to anybody who would listen. People make a lot of idle threats that don't get followed through, eg. threatening to hurt a dog who's barking at your own dog, you're not actually going to do it. It's a big leap to go from someone breaking into unlocked and open garages to someone murdering a newborn baby. Armed robbery happens pretty often. There could have been a chance of Markus being held up at gunpoint or had his family tied up. The perspectives of a burglar and a burglary victim in the moment are very different. I think it's a shame how all this came down, but 70 years, to me, is a ridiculously unfair sentence for the homeowner, who did not appear to have a criminal past. If you choose to go onto someone's property and steal something, you have no control over how they're going to react. It's a dangerous game, obviously. Another case of the cops saying how someone "should" react and deciding there's a crime there because the person didn't react the way they "think" they would. Agreed, 70 years is savage. I hate how the police have a one size fits all chart of reactions and are shocked when somebody doesn't fit into it. For a ton of these cases, it's like they honesty think the killer has the same point of view and information of what's going on as the people sitting on the couch watching the episode of Dateline. Markus did not see an HD re-enactment of a "sweet, popular teenager" sauntering in his garage to steal beer, and I'm sick of investigators saying "well, based on what we see now, you should have done ____".

UsernameFatigue May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 (edited) I was disappointed that in the two hours Dateline did not follow any kind of a trail detailing the insurance money on each of these dead people, considering that is apparently how Castro became wealthy. I did some research as it seemed odd that if Castro had insurance policies on all of these people that died, it wasn't brought up. (Also still unsure as to how Brian who died in another state is tied to Castro as one of the mysterious deaths of people in the cult). Anyway apparently Patricia (the one who ended up dying in the pool) collected $700,000 in Feb 2001 after the plane crash killed her friend Mona. Which is really odd as why would Mona not make the beneficiary of a life insurance policy her children? Was is forged? Brian collected 1.2 million dollars in June 2003 when his wife Patricia died in the swimming pool. In March 2006 a woman named Kara Kemier who was also associated with the group/cult collected $500,000 when her friend Brian was crushed under the truck. Again did Castro drive to another state to do the deed or have someone else push the truck onto Brian? Why would Brian not have his daughter as beneficiary? Or was there more than one policy on Brian (and on Mona above?). Brain and Patricia's daughter then went to Jennifer Huston to care for (the mother of the two girls interviewed in the show). Was this ever revealed in the show? Then Huston was killed in the crash in Sept 2008 but nothing was mentioned about insurance, though again one would think her daughters would get any insurance? In any case Castro was not the direct beneficiary of any of the insurance policies, but since he seemed to have control over everyone in the group I would assume they gave him control of the money afterwards. Dateline in two hours had plenty of time to reveal this info - wonder why they didn't?

tobeannounced May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 UsernameFatigue, the show made a point of mentioning that Castro didn't have anything in his name (houses, cars.) So maybe that was the case with the insurance too. I guess if you can convince people to let you kill them, it's not that hard to convince people to be the beneficiaries and turn the money over to you after they collect. Geez, too bad he didn't use his powers for good. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/12/#findComment-1107571

Taylorh2 May 5, 2015 Share May 5, 2015 I was disappointed that the husband of the older sister didn't get more credit for helping to solve this case ? He steered the police in the right direction. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/12/#findComment-1111716
gaPeach May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 I just cannot understand mothers that allow people to hurt their children. I also do not understand how someone can be conned into killing themselves because someone told them it their time. What? Really? I get the kids falling for this guys BS because they are kids but the adults? How can one be so desperate to believe in something they would kill themselves for someone to collect insurance money. I know that is not what he told them he was doing but how did the husband not figure it out when his wife died (was killed willingly) in the pool and he collected the insurance money and handed it over to Castro so Castro could buy new cars? And then it was his "turn" a couple years later when the well ran low....what? Come on people! I would have liked more information about how he got these people to kill themselves. Did he mess with the plane or did he get the pilot to just crash the plane? And the two girls mom. How do you talk someone into driving head on into an oncoming car to kill yourself? Pills would have been better but I suppose the pay out would have been lower or none at all. And to not care you may kill someone else killing yourself that way? None of it seemed real but I know it happens all the time, look at Jonestown mass suicide. Crazy stuff. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/12/#findComment-1115219

RedheadZombie May 8, 2015 Share May 8, 2015 I did wonder why Emily did not go and live with her dad after the mom was killed, because the older daughter did. I think both girls were equally victimized, but the older sister was clearly able to see she was being raped, while the younger sister really romanticized it. In fact, when she tells the story she contradicts herself. She said she chose to stay with Castro, rather than her father and sister, because they were her family. She loved them and wanted to be with them. Then later she says she stayed because she felt she had no choice. I really think it became difficult to stay when he kicked her out of his bed for his new woman. Not that she necessarily enjoyed the sexual relationship, but she made no bones about the fact that she absolutely loved being his favorite and being treated like a princess. I hope she has had and continues to get on going counseling. Her abuse was very similar to incest. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/12/#findComment-1122149
SunnyBeBe May 8, 2015 Share May 8, 2015 Maybe, I'm in the minority here, but I thought the conviction and sentencing of the man who shot the intruder was extremely inappropriate. In fact, I'm shocked it happened. I hope someone works to get that guy's sentence reduced. Yes, I saw all he said and did and I still think he shouldn't be prosecuted the way he was. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/137482-all-episodes-discussion/page/12/#findComment-1123065
Morbs May 9, 2015 Share May 9, 2015 (edited) The host/narration was out of control right off the bat. "It was the type of neighborhood America used to have a lot, but now it is harder and harder to find," as if the US is now a third world country and not the safest it has ever been. And then the host said, "So, how many murders per year? A dozen?" haha like it's so hard to find a suburb that has no violent crimes every year. If only even the "safer" suburbs in America had 12 murders per year: Dateline would have more interesting cases for us! I thought the younger son had done it and was being filmed in jail because the background of his interview was so fuzzy and kinda looked like bars. He was annihilated during his interview, definitely drugged out on something. I was glad the one guy they interviewed was innocent because he was a fan of "Angel" and had even incorporated the show into his weekly routine, so he must be a good person deep down. I knew something was up when the best friend was never interviewed. Her faked shooting was really over the top pathetic, it looked more like a bad pinch than a grazed gunshot.

editorgrrl May 9, 2015 Share May 9, 2015 (edited) Originally aired Friday, May 8, 2015. Preview. A loving mother and wife is brutally murdered in a Georgia home invasion. The following night, her best friend and neighbor is shot outside the office where both women worked. Investigators soon discover disturbing secrets that only deepen the mystery. I knew something was up when the best friend was never interviewed. Her faked shooting was really over the top pathetic, it looked more like a bad pinch than a grazed gunshot. Whenever an employee is shot in the leg during a robbery, I immediately think "accomplice." I can't believe it never occurred to me this time!
