53 years together… how do you spend a little over half a century with someone and do this? I am disgusted and stunned.

[Legitti]

Tbh she sounds so much like a cop, but still won his trust? That's crazy.

As soon as he kills his wife, a beautiful woman 1/3 his age approach him and is super interested in him. So he decides to tell her that he killed his wife to which she is neither shocked or appalled and cheerfully tells him that if there is no body, he has got nothing to worry about.
This guy is the champion in situational awareness.

I met Phil Snyder. A year before this happened, my father in law asked me to come over and help a guy install a cabinet in their home. I worked with Phil for several hours that day, seemed like a nice guy. Will never forget this story.

I can't wrap my mind around why someone would confess this to ANYONE, let alone a coffee shop acquaintance. Is there no self preservation making him think "hmm... probably something I better take with me to the grave to be safe"?

He Represented his mother by confronting his father with a courageous impact statement! That son is one brave guy and deserves to be recognized.

[mrgeno]

We walk by crazies everytime we leave home. This is so heartbreaking, my prayers for the son and the rest of the family.

[srsh]

Married for 50+ years and still murdered. I'm so heartbroken that it can end this way.

If I was the arresting officer I’d have been like: “so just a scenario, let’s say that everything you said was recorded and you’re under arrest”

[alierrtrillo]

This guy destroyed his whole family for nothing

[ElysiumRose]

Very disturbing. Can you imagine sitting with someone and they tell you the details of how they killed someone? I mean, I'm sure she was prepared for him to say that he killed his wife but not all the extra details. He described it like he was describing a recent trip to wal-mart. So cold.

[pammers]

What a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to their son and other loved ones of his wife. Thank goodness he was caught.

[dramonmaster]

This just goes to show that you never truly know what lies in someone's heart.

“Just a scenario I bonked her in the head…just a scenario I put a bag over her head”
It amazes me every single day how horrible some people can be. I don’t understand how anyone could sleep at night after doing things like this.

[chadhiggins]

That undercover cop was excellent. She was an extremely good actress. Fantastic job officer.

[mcarrigan]

This is beyond sickening. Beyond tragic. Words cannot describe. Bless this women’s soul Rest In Peace.

[chriskastner]

He couldn’t sound less sad about his wife passing. This guy had no chance.

[mikesharon]

Saddest part is the son and family still have no remains to put her to her final resting place:(

[raterus]

Kudos to the undercover cop, how you get someone to confess their deepest secrets, knowing it will send them to jail for the rest of their life is beyond me.
