Corpses don't prune. Pruning is caused by the blood vessels just under the skin constricting in reaction to water. A person drowns within a couple of minutes, so it wouldn't matter how long the body was under water. I'm surprised the prosecution didn't counter with it because it was one of the biggest defense arguments.

I wrote this comment on YouTube but I thought I'd add it here: I'm surprised the prosecution didn't counter the defense's whole "pruny fingers in the water" argument with corpses don't prune in the water. It only takes a couple of minutes to drown so it wouldn't matter how long her body was at the bottom of the pool. According to www.aurorahealthcare.org : "pruney fingers and toes are actually caused when blood vessels just below the skin shrink — a process called vasoconstriction. When your nervous system is functioning properly, soaking in water sends a message through the nerves telling those blood vessels to shrink." So there you have it.

Affair-> money trouble-> tension/court-> losing-> continues affair-> plots scheme with woman-> woos wife-> all body evidence-> leaves with kids-> other woman kicks wife into pool? A lot of people have similar taste when they choose parters.... maybe she looked like the wife, so as part of the cover, she was around and finished it? His reaction when answering the door was, basically, an open confession. As if he had communicated with that mystery woman.... maybe?

I'm unsure on this one - the fact that he took the 6person jury to avoid the death penalty tells me he was expecting a guilty verdict, and may very well have held back the info about the 'stalker' so that he COULD appeal later. The skin info is very bizarre though, and I don't understand how on earth that happened if not because she wasn't in the water long - maybe the pool guy helped him out?? The jury that lives in my head is still out on this one - LOVE your work though Mike - cheers man!!

I dunno. The prosecutor seemed shit and didn’t even pronounce her name right. Guy still seems sketchy as hell.

SaGu

Whether he was the one who killed her or not, he seems like a real piece of shit! And even if he was not the killer, he definitely had something to do wit it. So...he's not entirely innocent either way. As always - fantastic job, Mike! <3

Payton Smith

It sounds a lot like an intentional alibi. He likely paid someone to place her body in the pool after he left, counting on the medical examiner to say that she wasn't in the pool when he left. A mystery accomplice? Maybe. Innocent? No way.

Marty Murphy

Maybe. I am not sure but the DNA was compelling. However, the man who found her didn’t try to save her? That seemed odd. Still, I think they argued. He was pissed. Maybe he snapped. I think he is guilty but beyond reasonable doubt? I don’t know.

Great video Mike!

Hatty Burrow

Gosh your eyes are blue

Rosie L Hill

I know what songs to have for your TC soundtrack. 🎤🎼🙉

Jacquie Poier

Well I don't think he personally killed her, hence he is correct he "didn't kill her", so not guilty of first degree murder,BUT conspiracy to commit murder, he is guilty AF! That other baby momma sure looked like Samira, hair,build, beauty etc... And thanks Mike, it's been a long few days without a Mike video!

How did a foot doctor get so freaking rich? Podiatry doesn't pay that well. Family money I guess but dang, a Floridian Foot doctor living like a King?

William Myers

👏👏👏

Catherine DeWitt

Red shirt, peekin' out.

Laura Elizabeth

Great video , Mike! Do have the link where we get a discount still? I have to self-isolate for a week now due to a fever, so Hunt a Killer might be a good way to pass the time...

Gary Lang

Thank you Mike Oh

Rachel Milani

Was just thinking we were due for a “Mike” video. Thank you!

Rachel Milani

Agree with you. He definitely had motive and is guilty in some fashion. Perhaps they fought that morning and she defended herself causing the scratch and explaining the DNA evidence on her left hand - but then he had someone come and put her in the pool as she was already unconscious???

Steve Cummings

I think he hired a hitman

Kit Doherty

Another good one Mike 👍

Lorna Mangan

Yeah- pretty cut & dried, why the silly lies about her drinking & the scratch on his face if he had nothing to hide? I wonder what happened to the kids though- she was right about the baby being gorgeous. Hope she’s ok.

Eddie Glass

This is like having completed a jigsaw puzzle, only to find there is a piece missing. The most important piece! The one with the killers face on it. I'm not a detective... but, eh, ... I'm thinking I wanna question the guy who found her.

Marty Murphy

Great video. I think he did it but legally.....seems like there could be reasonable doubt.

Emma Burke

Thank you so much for this!! Saving us all during this tough time :)

Chris Drake

Surprised his defense didn't claim was he brain-dead and that the spilling the beans to another inmate was just, "Prank Bro!" He looks like a dude-bro 50 years past his prime still trying to act hip to the jive with the cool kids.

ScaryPoppins

Please don't make me listen to her music again. No worries, I like what you add to it.

That Chapter

Haha which part?

ScaryPoppins

I legit am considering getting Hunt a killer. I'm not sure I have the patience though.

ScaryPoppins

No comment on the music. 😬

Melissa Antoni

You the Man Mike. You the Man

Sash Johnson

It's hard for me to think of any other person would kill this woman and let this guy take the fall. How would anyone else benefit? I think he's a piece of shit and guilty as Hell. - Thanks for the 24 minutes of entertainment today Mike! I really appreciate it

In case you want to check these cases out...there are two cases that are going to court at some point this year I believe in Scotland. The Disappearance Of Renee MacRae has finally had an arrest. This murder happened back in the 70s. Also another case from the 70s...the murder of Dr Brenda Paige has had an arrest finally too.
