Bachelorette contender Tino Franco’s true desire

/2 Comments/in , , , /by

If you watched the Bachelorette last night, there was a very revealing moment on the show when Rachel revealed to Tino that he was the only one left.  Did you catch it?

I was trying to find a video clip of that moment and can’t seem to locate one online. If you find one, please do share a link!

If you watched that reveal moment between Rachel and Tino, you may have had a niggle that something wasn’t right.

The internet is a buzz with the fact that Tino’s face was flat–utterly emotionless.  They are 100% correct in that assessment.  It stood out.

But if you were paying close attention, you would have caught Tino’s smile utterly dropping off his face!

It was most pronounced if you watched the right side of his face. It slipped off!! He was NOT happy to hear he was the last one standing.

How gutting that was to watch!

I imagined seeing that if I were Rachel. Rachel didn’t seem to register it, sadly.

Tino seemed to enjoy Rachel and was truly happy around her many times as seen in the photo above. That was genuine.

But it appears, from that slip of the smile, Tino actually wanted to win the contest, rather than win Rachel and propose!

Ouch!!

So it wasn’t a surprise they didn’t last.

I don’t know what happened with the cheating incident, but you have to question, could that have been a passive aggressive move to dump Rachel because he wasn’t invested in her? It certainly can’t be ruled out.

Chris Watts Interview: My Thoughts

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Many of you have wondering if Christopher Watts revealed clues that he was deceptive. The answer is yes. If you don’t know, he has sadly confessed to the killing of his wife and their children.

In the beginning of the interview, Chris actually glows when he first starts talking, yet he is putting on a down-tone in his voice and working hard to keep his emotions baseline. You get that deadpan feeling? That’s him manipulating his responses–trying to “act” down when he really isn’t. It’s an epic fail.

You can see him suppress a smile when he is asked what happened. It’s creepy. This is not a man grieving for or worried about his supposed missing wife.

When talking about her not responding to “her people” he talks about “That is what concerned a lot of peoples.” If you notice, it didn’t concern him. Isn’t that interesting? He also makes a disgust expression.

As he talks about coming home, he says, “Nothing. Just vanished. Nothing was here.” This is extreme distancing from his wife and kids. He acts like they are objects, not human beings who went missing. He then corrects and says, “She wasn’t here. The kids weren’t here.”

Interestingly, when he talks about the kids and says their names, you see a slow blink. There is some, albeit slight, emotional response here about the kids that is revealed by this. Does it bother him he killed them? Are their visions that get into his head that cause him to feel some emotion here? I believe the answer is yes, even if it is a minor emotion. With his wife, there is nothing.

When Chris spells Celeste’s name, he has an awkward swallow. It’s making him very uncomfortable and its notable.

As Chris talks about where they could be, he has a glow again. I get that sense he feels he is being believed and is successfully duping the reporter here. It’s very creepy. And it continues as he talks about the girls, and how they would be eating dinner and how he supposedly (not) misses it. He actually breaks out in slight laughter at 3:24. What you are seeing is a man who is loving the fact he is duping the reporter and getting away with his lies and thinks he is being believed.

He laughs again at 3:51.

He says they had an emotional conversation. Yeah, a fight. No doubt. He laughs again at 5:01.

When the reporters question him about what the police or sheriff are saying to you, he shows real indications of being uncomfortable and nervous again, which only helped investigators! He shows doubt throughout this interview as well.

And in the end, he says, as he pleas for his wife, “IF you are out there…” IF??? I love when they say “if”. It’s quite common and a huge reveal.

I personally suspect this man was controlling, angered easily and kept his demons behind closed doors. And something happened, and he snapped.

Richard Russell: What Happened?

/in , /by

If you’ve followed the sad story of Richard Russell, you have to be scratching your head and wondering what happened.

Was this a suicide mission of a man who kept it all inside?

Was Russell on a joy ride and didn’t think of the consequences? Or was it something else?

When you listen to him speak to air traffic control, you get moments where he sounds like he understands the gravity of the situation (albeit briefly)–moments of reality–paired up with moments where you wonder if he is delusional–where he has an altered sense of reality (like he is in a dream playing video games). In the delusional state, he is happy, light-hearted and doesn’t seem to grasp the gravity of it all — like when he says, ““I think I’m going to try to do a barrel roll, and if that goes good I’ll go nose down and call it a night.”

You could take that last statement as he knew what he doing.  OR, you could also argue this was a man who for a moment thought he was playing a video game and was going to “call it a night”.

You know how you have dream states where things from the real world are impacting you, but you aren’t totally grasping things?  That’s the feelings I get when I listen to Russell. Something feels off.  He doesn’t sound grounded to me.

I don’t believe this was a suicide and I don’t believe Russell went on a joy ride for the sake of a joy ride. And his friends seem to support this theory. Russell wasn’t a big bravado jerk who had to prove his worth, or who would want to go out with a big bang, if you will.

His friends and co-workers say he was a responsible, kind and compassionate man. None of his friends think this situation is inline with Russell’s character. On the contrary, they are very surprised and shocked.

So many things could have caused this and I’m sure investigators will explore all of them from drugs (prescription or illicit), late-age onset mental illness, and other things that can set off delusional behavior.  It will be interesting to see what they uncover.  I hope for the family they get some answers.

What do you think happened here?

Angelika Graswald: A Free Woman

/in , , , , /by

ABC’s 20/20 did an updated story on Angelika Graswald this past weekend. She is out jail after serving 32 months. She pled guilty to reduced charges of criminally negligent homicide and was released just before Christmas 2017. She’s a free woman after only serving 32 months.

The case is fascinating because it polarized many people.

Many people found her credible, though the thought of that makes me cringe, like nails down a chalk board, cringe.

This case isn’t even in shades of gray. It is clear black and white.

Graswald shows every dangerous behavior known to mankind and anyone in her path should take deep care to protect themselves.

Remember how Jodi Arias played this sweet, innocent,  I-couldn’t-harm-a-flea demeanor?

These two are made of the same exact deadly cocktail of lethality.

I could write a 200-page book on Graswald’s behavior in this case.

My biggest piece of advice about this case?

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Graswald told you she had a dark side that no one should ever see. That statement wasn’t coerced, or forced.

That was the stark, cold, hard, deadly truth!

Would you kill for love: Jens Soering on 20/20

/in , , /by

Did you catch ABC’s 20/20 last weekend?  It featured the story of Jens Soering and Elizabeth Haysom, and the murder of Elizabeth’s parents: Derek and Nancy Haysom in 1985.

The two oddly-coupled pair skipped the country after the killings and then confessed when apprehended in England.

Soering later said he didn’t do the killings. He said he stayed back while Elizabeth did it to create an alibi.

I found Soering very arrogant and he showed no signs of being a candidate for a false confession, instead everything he did convinced me he isn’t trustworthy.

These two were truly scary, callous and cold, weren’t they?
