How on earth did those two ever think that those children would never be missed?

[ScaryPoppins]

It's creepy how calm they both are while the cops say, "we found human remains".

[shethingsd]

I can't believe anyone would be overwhelmed by Chad or drawn in. Usually cult leaders are very charismatic. Chad always sounds like he's on valium and bored, even when giving a blessing. And he's no looker either.

[AnnieBooker]

Please remember Tylee as well. It must have been terrifying for her.

[saunch]

If you ever hear anyone call a child "evil" or "dark", take it as a red flag, PLEASE!

[KCsFunHouse]

I finally understand what meatloaf meant when he said “I will do anything for love, but I won’t do that”

[JonBullock]

His children are not well, sticking up for their dad is sickening.

[midnightmoon]

Emma doesnt ask her dad anything about how there were human remains in the yard and knows 2 kids are missing. she says nothing

[Iuup]

I don't see how a parent could EVER EVER do this to their own child WTF man I have five and pull my hair out every day but I would never do anything like this this is sick

[j_.]

I thought Chad's video stream had frozen... until his lawyer moved.
That guy is STIFF 😂

[Galbanolli]

Daughter doesn’t sound surprised there’s bodies in the yard…. Very odd

[JenniferBass-ggtx]

His daughter doesn't seem bothered that a body was found on his property! Weird

[jcny]

Battling scriptures was my favorite part of the call between Melanie, Lori and Chad.

[Jeremy-thpt]

Chad has all the charisma of a tub of lard.

[breanapadilla]

Did Chad's daughter have something to do with it? Sounds like she wasn't upset about her mom being dead and joked about using it for sympathy. Also, she does not seem shocked or disgusted that they found human remains on her father's property.

[jennifersantos]

His daughter freaks me out her nonchalantly telling her dad they told her there were human remains found on the property his reaction never once seemed surprised by them finding remains he tells his daughter flat out I am not coming back that was him pretty much him all but admitting guilt why would he say he is never being released

[melaniehassler]

I do not understand how Chad's kids weren't angry that their mother's grave was barely filled and he installed Lori as new pretty mommy. Wtaf.

[julesbee]

The blessing to Alex sounds very much like a last rites. 😮

[resourcedragon]

That telephone call with Melanie Gibb, Lori and Chad *_is_* weird.

The whole idea that someone would be in danger if they knew where the kids were is lunatic.

[crimetimewithjess]

Chad and his daughters exchange was so creepy. He laughs several times but he never shows her any emotion. She cries and says how much she loves him several times and he just has nothing to say to that. Then they both act like its not a big deal that human remains were in the backyard. Chad laughs and tells her he's not getting out and he never has and hopefully never will.
