“I just want them safe. That’s all I want” *laughs immediately after*
Rocking, pursing his lips, showing no emotion. He made himself look so guilty right away.

[tadeuvi]

He looks like he is trying not to laugh the whole time

[handlotion]

Everybody in the comments turns into professional crime investigators and body language experts when they watch an already solved case lmao

[davedarosa]

When the cop gave him his card he says” ok sweet”. Who the hell would talk like that if his whole family was missing?

[katyflowerkeen]

The fact he looked at that footage knowing exactly where they were what a monster you are

[BhutanBluePoppy]

The poor dog has something to say but can only bark

[annatar]

A lot of single guys dream of having a wife, kids and a nice house and two cars. This guy had it all and threw it all away for nothing.

[MegJuniper]

“*I* go for runs... she doesn’t do anything like that.” So much narcissism. So much judgement in that tone.

[kmjr]

Very frightening that vile humans walk around us everyday.

[vajayna_eklhabouh]

The fact that there are people out there that are bullying the victim's family is

2:54 "As a father, my eyes wouldnt have left that screen".

Wow, so true. You can tell with his face and body language that he was screwed straight away with the footage from his neighbor. How he had his hands on his head etc.

[TerjeSkuggen]

"As a father, my eyes would have never left that screen" - Nate

[alext]

It’s sad to think that you never know who’s going to hurt you. Most people end up getting hurt by someone close to them.

[bellavida]

He says, "l just want them back" then laugh's, wow !

[hannav]

Me before my wedding “ if you need a divorce let me know I will sign in immediately. Do not kill me”.

[thesecretwindowspot]

Just knowing that the oldest daughter said to him to not kill her. :(

[stephanietribuna]

He looked closer at that store video than he did at the surveillance video of his own house!

[sarahseabrook]

I can't fathom how he could kill his little girls.

[Fireproofwitchnz]

"I just want them back" - immediately laughs at the absurdity of his own lie. The last thing he wanted was them back, even saying it made him crack up because it was so far from the truth. Evil.

[jotac]

He's rocking back and forth. Giving himself a hug. Trying to comfort himself. He says "like" a bunch of times. His soul is dead you could tell.
