- 0:55three years ago as a top running
- 0:56american
- 0:58the sixth most dangerous city in the
- 0:59world
- 1:01selling real estate
- 1:04i think
- 1:07not sure what i was doing
- 1:09i was the sales director of a private
- 1:11island
- 1:12essentially called magote it's an
- 1:14amazing project anyways
- 1:17finding that one i was a fall down drunk
- 1:18man i was losing my car once a week i'm
- 1:20trying once a month
- 1:22wasn't this one i had a cool cool jeep
- 1:25so such a drunk man i was losing my car
- 1:26once a month
- 1:28just passing out on the street literally
- 1:31waking up like six in the morning
- 1:34the six most dangerous in the world
- 1:37you know i was in alcoholic for a lot of
- 1:39reasons
- 1:44funny enough
- 1:46it was because i was shy
- 1:47and i just started drinking a lot when i
- 1:49was young man to overcome
- 1:51and then you know just
- 1:52then you know abusing alcohol and
- 1:55horrible [ __ ] decisions and
- 1:57anyways um
- 2:00that's another story but
- 2:04alcoholics never turn on each other
- 2:07you don't do it man i got [ __ ] over
- 2:09wrongly
- 2:10by a woman locally uh
- 2:14she knows she did wrong now
- 2:17she had a jealous boyfriend is what it
- 2:19was
- 2:20basically i got thrown out of [ __ ]
- 2:21gym it wasn't my fault
- 2:24but i let that one go because
- 2:26she's a former alcoholic you don't [ __ ]
- 2:28with form alcoholics man
- 2:30because when you start drinking again
- 2:31it's the same thing as a death sentence
- 2:33and so
- 2:34anyways everyone knows that my brother's
- 2:37been alcoholic for 20 years
- 2:39no support on that end either which is
- 2:41fishy and strange regarding kathleen i
- 2:43might add
- 2:45anyways um i'm gonna head over the house
- 2:47now cause i just discovered today the
- 2:50final pieces that made it all sense okay
- 2:52i didn't go to my mom's funeral
- 2:54about four months ago
- 2:55she was my best friend i was with her
- 2:58when she
- 2:59the day she died i was with her when she
- 3:01died my father
- 3:03waited three hours while my mom was
- 3:05having a heart attack didn't call the
- 3:06cops when i came over within seven
- 3:08minutes i called the cops
- 3:109-1-1
- 3:11my mom would be alive today for one from
- 3:13my father anyways
- 3:16it's all about this man
- 3:18about the insurance uh when they got
- 3:20divorced my
- 3:21mom ended up with all the stuff my dad
- 3:23wanted
- 3:24it's unbelievable so petty
- 3:27you know my dad wanted the uh
- 3:32my dad wanted like this like george the
- 3:34fifth
- 3:36teapot
- 3:38sterling silver teapot you know it's not
- 3:40a lot i mean
- 3:41yeah my mom probably has a couple
- 3:42hundred thousand maybe half a million of
- 3:44our work maybe maybe about a million but
- 3:46more importantly the easy to see stuff
- 3:48is just called silverware it's easy
- 3:50because it's silver and it should be
- 3:52there
- 3:53all gone
- 3:54all gone
- 3:56obviously down the
- 3:58street another conversation i'll talk
- 4:01about
- 4:02the bizarre behavior of my father
- 4:04immediately after my mother's death and
- 4:05him taking all this stuff
- 4:10my mom died in front of me twice
- 4:12actually i saved her the first time her
- 4:14body failed her so we had to pull the
- 4:16plug on her which is the most inhumane
- 4:17thing in the world but
- 4:19i brought my mom back from death the
- 4:21first time
- 4:25did cpr for that i don't know 10 minutes
- 4:27or so
- 4:28but we both agree with my dad and i mean
- 4:30she died while we were while i was on
- 4:32the phone with 9-1-1
- 4:34you know i couldn't go back in the house
- 4:36for a while so finally i asked my dad to
- 4:37help me get things moving because i
- 4:39couldn't set foot in the house well by
- 4:41the
- 4:42second or third it was pretty awful
- 4:45by the fourth day i think that's when
- 4:46you try to break my sobriety i have it
- 4:48all on notes but
- 4:49it's a [ __ ] monster
- 4:52anyways
- 4:54he's a sociopath he was hot he goes cold
- 4:57this is my uh
- 4:59this is my
- 5:01health card
- 5:03my mom had an account for us and she
- 5:04wanted to pay for insurance for me
- 5:09i haven't had insurance in 20 years i
- 5:10don't believe in it
- 5:11but we have a joint shared account um
- 5:16somewhere around here
- 5:19on this okay me my mom and my dad okay
- 5:21money comes out of here for the
- 5:23insurance that she makes me good
- 5:26well
- 5:27last night
- 5:29payment failure okay
- 5:32uh so
- 5:33i'm gonna go pull out the money
- 5:35for the year
- 5:36we're actually going to pull it all out
- 5:37it's like 500 bucks or so for the
- 5:40insurance for the year but more
- 5:41importantly i'm doing that to show that
- 5:43my father is erratic because this is
- 5:45what i believe he'll do
- 5:47i believe he's going to text me messages
- 5:49now calling me irresponsible and
- 5:51horrible and
- 5:52you know
- 5:54whatever you know he's gonna blame it on
- 5:55me even though he has literally stolen
- 5:58all of this stuff
- 6:00it is my belief that he's going to go
- 6:02hot and cold because
- 6:04he doesn't only call the cops on him
- 6:07and all of his emails after does evil
- 6:09stuff oh i love you so much i'm here if
- 6:10you ever need me right like a [ __ ]
- 6:12social
- 6:14my belief is that
- 6:17when i pull out this money within the
- 6:19hour he's going to send some awful
- 6:21messages to me about being irresponsible
- 6:23and
- 6:24or a loser or what have you but
- 6:27i want to have it recorded
- 6:29now in advance but also have the text
- 6:30messages to show a pattern of
- 6:32sociopathic behavior and also show that
- 6:34i can also predict his behavior now
- 6:37and if i can predict this
- 6:39it's probably fair to say other things
- 6:42see i never thought my dad would kill
- 6:44kathleen or my mom because i didn't
- 6:46think he would hurt his own family
- 6:47member i literally needed my own
- 6:49personal experience where he tried to
- 6:51hurt me and ruined my life and my
- 6:53alcoholism
- 6:55i needed that personal experience to see
- 6:58nothing would prevent him
- 7:00from
- 7:01doing anything i mean if he'd ruin his
- 7:03own child's alcohol sobriety
- 7:06or i've been clean for three years
- 7:09if kathleen was going to leave him which
- 7:14was a very strange final conversation
- 7:17that she had with me
- 7:20uh the last conversation that she had
- 7:22with me
- 7:25you know it's not a smoking gun at all
- 7:29but it's very strange because
- 7:31it was basically her talking about
- 7:33how she believed that
- 7:34in life you have three relationships one
- 7:37in your 20s
- 7:38you know 25 to 35
- 7:41145 to 55 and then the other one from
- 7:43like you know 60 to the rest of your
- 7:46life
- 7:47well my dad was the uh the second
- 7:49relationship there he wasn't the third
- 7:51one because kathleen was like
- 7:53in her 40 late 40s i think early 50s
- 7:56it was the weirdest damn conversation i
- 7:58have ever seen
- 7:59and i didn't ever see anything so
- 8:01obviously i didn't think my dad did it
- 8:02and it was
- 8:03would have been a very harmful
- 8:05conversation to
- 8:07jury had heard about
- 8:09because she left him he would have to
- 8:12move out of the house of 1810 cedar
- 8:14street because he didn't have the cash
- 8:15flow because his books were getting
- 8:17rejected left and right and while he did
- 8:19have good news about a movie
- 8:22that stuff is pie in the sky and it is
- 8:24statistically unlikely
- 8:26whereas the fact that his financial
- 8:27stress was very real
- 8:29she had left him he would have been
- 8:30devastated it is true they had the
- 8:32world's greatest relationship they never
- 8:34fought they literally had the world's
- 8:35greatest relationship
- 8:37you can talk to any girl i've ever dated
- 8:39bad boyfriend
- 8:41i'm wearing my father for that one
- 8:42called bad parenting and made me a bad
- 8:44person but i'm a good person now but
- 8:47i was a very bad boyfriend for many
- 8:48years and admittedly i haven't been in a
- 8:50relationship
- 8:52since i got sober and
- 8:54i think it's best just to be very devout
- 8:57and not burden other women with me
- 8:58frankly speaking so i'm assuming i'm a
- 9:00good person now but i can't say it for
- 9:02fact but
- 9:03unbelievably my dad and kathleen
- 9:04actually had the world's greatest
- 9:05relationship i do not know how that's
- 9:07possible
- 9:09i think he's gay for the record
- 9:11i know he's bisexual but
- 9:13i've never seen that man have a
- 9:14heterosexual experience that was
- 9:16authentic in my life other than they did
- 9:18have a great relationship with kathleen
- 9:19but that dude
- 9:21he goes off when he sees men i've never
- 9:23seen him go off when he sees a woman
- 9:24anyways
- 9:28i think i'm just now procrastinating on
- 9:30a porn [ __ ] phone call i gotta call
- 9:32the cops and
- 9:34someone get my father rested tonight
- 9:36because
- 9:37you know
- 9:38he's taking out hits on people in prison
- 9:40i know this because i helped him
- 9:42unfortunately
- 9:44after the fact where i helped
- 9:46send money when i go visit him
- 9:50like i said i'm not innocent on a lot of
- 9:51things but i do have first-hand
- 9:53experience of my father taking out
- 9:54people
- 9:55he left a very clear message to me uh
- 9:57that it hit would come my way
- 10:00i hate to use the word white supremacist
- 10:02but these dudes were pretty [ __ ]
- 10:03hardcore biker dudes
- 10:06i don't want to [ __ ] with them
- 10:07anyways
- 10:09i've made a lot of emails lately to my
- 10:11brother saying that my dad's a serial
- 10:12killer
- 10:13i've made a emailed family over the last
- 10:15couple years telling my father's a
- 10:16serial killer
- 10:19my mom really worked on me so i changed
- 10:21my mind
- 10:22when i came back here a couple years ago
- 10:24but uh
- 10:26i'm back thinking he's a [ __ ] serial
- 10:27killer
- 10:30this man should spend the rest of his
- 10:31life in jail
- 10:34and if we can't convict him in court
- 10:37that's why i have this video so i can
- 10:38convict him in the court of public
- 10:40opinion
- 10:41whether it's tick tock or facebook or
- 10:43instagram but this guy's a monster
- 10:47i
- 10:50can't believe i'm gonna call the cops my
- 10:52[ __ ] father
- 10:57i was widely regarded as the toughest
- 10:59white guy in the most dangerous city in
- 11:00the world this is cartel land about
- 11:02three years ago
- 11:04i want to just say people to the people
- 11:07and down there that would maybe frown
- 11:08upon us i'm not ratting my dad out
- 11:12this guy's a [ __ ] serial killer man
- 11:14and he's a monster
- 11:16i told my mom that he was going to kill
- 11:19her
