Added 2021-04-05 10:17:40 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Hope you enjoy this one, certainly one that's stuck with me after I finished it.

And the dad realised and they decided to frame Caitlyn

2022-01-08 13:01:50 +0000 UTCDefinitely a crazy one! I feel like I can’t figure it out! Everyone blaming everyone else, missing something for sure. Good one, Mike!
Caitlin
2021-06-24 00:13:51 +0000 UTCThe use of the email account on her home ip. The use of the prepaid creditcards she bought. Then the rape charges, then she dropped those. Were they "on" in this on/off relationship during the murder? I guess not since the motive the brought forward was the ending of that relationship? Can it be she wanted revenge for the rape and possible other abuse by the son? If she did it alone, did she have access to the sons car even though the relation was off at this time? If she was forced in to doing this then why not come out with it now she was denied a retrial? If the father and son or one of them manipulated her in following their or his plan and now are betraying her it would be logic to now speak out how that happened but she did not? This is one the more fascinating cases our boy Mike did i think.

2021-04-16 10:52:47 +0000 UTCSome have pointed to the canceling of Ally McBeal as a turning point for the father. It hit him hard and he just wasn't quite the same after that.
Taco John
2021-04-14 17:16:24 +0000 UTCThe son and his dad. Evil. When did evil come to live in their hearts?
Karen Vega
2021-04-12 05:11:06 +0000 UTCThe son did it

2021-04-12 00:11:48 +0000 UTCColchicine ....I was on that for a while, now one thing you are told right away is NO grapefruit as it can make the colchicine way more toxic, hmmm wondering if perhaps whom ever poisoned her might have known this :o) x
Dorvita
2021-04-07 22:31:51 +0000 UTCAs someone who grew up near that area, I chortled at your pronunciation of Oriskany. We've got a lot of odd names up in these parts from the Iroquois.

2021-04-07 15:55:34 +0000 UTCTrial seems awfully circumstantial with some reasonable doubt, not sure about that guilty verdict. That said I still feel she did it. Revenge for a criminally shitty boyfriend? Who knows. I just can't get past the fact the poison was bought with one of her prepaid cards, using an email address in someone else's name that was apparently only accessed from her home Internet's IP address? Seems sus.
Ben Brown
2021-04-06 23:15:40 +0000 UTCHe raped his girlfriend and was charged for it? Sounds like a charming person. Definitely him and his Pa. Seems like toxic masculinity runs deep with the males in this family. The father goes after his wife's sister and the son is a rapist. Stone cold killers don't vomit from nerves - but terrified innocent people may just. Dig deeper, investigators - your work here isn't done.

2021-04-06 17:31:03 +0000 UTCIt might sound silly, but Mike actively makes my life better. I'm ridiculously grateful.
Liz C
2021-04-06 17:16:12 +0000 UTCI've heard this story many times but hearing it from you, Mike, makes it better. Thank you for sharing this :)
Kristina Bledsoe
2021-04-06 17:12:20 +0000 UTCThe son is sketchy AF. I don’t know who’s guilty of the murder, but the son has such an aura of hostility coming from him.
Nuala
2021-04-06 14:41:16 +0000 UTCIDK I thought of that but I got the sense from Mike's telling they started interrogating her hard *after* she admitted she wrote the letter.
dougie
2021-04-06 14:38:43 +0000 UTCHer behaviour in the police interrogations points to her being guilty, but to go to the extent she would have to go, and keep that anger burning waiting for the drug to arrive, she’d be mentally disturbed. I’d love to know if anything in her past history showed obsessive behaviour.
Carolyne S.
2021-04-06 14:10:07 +0000 UTCI was thinking that I'd vote not guilty on reasonable doubt. I felt that during her confession to knowing about what happened...I find it hard to believe that she was entirely aware of the full nefarious intentions of Bill and Adam, though she knew enough to know, though her motivation in divulging the information is a little hazy, I can't figure out why she would go to the police if she was so heavily involved, if not the true murderer. Reading the above comment posted by Tyler regarding Caitlyn's DNA being found inside a bottle of the stuff and Adam experienced similar symptoms... now I wonder... 🤔 Maybe the prosecution was right in the opening statement "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

2021-04-06 14:09:31 +0000 UTC"Just can't mix honey and money," BEST wit ever!!
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:58:16 +0000 UTCDamn you Tyler! Just when I stumbled upon one that I was able to say I'd vote not guilty on reasonable doubt!!! Was that brought up by the prosecution during her trials or just in the report?
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:56:46 +0000 UTCI'm with you Amanda.
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:54:23 +0000 UTCWhat's the affinity with Atlanta? Esp the Falcons? I've been curious about this since I noticed the recurring Falcons shirts and whatnots.
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:52:42 +0000 UTCReasonable doubt.
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:49:48 +0000 UTCAs handsome as you are my good friend, you are looking a bit tired. We love you and would very much understand if you needed to take a break. You work so hard! Please take care :)
Janey_tee
2021-04-06 13:40:47 +0000 UTCI'm sorry. That's just too damn funny!! I've had those moments myself though and I look like I let my 6y old do my makeup.
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:10:29 +0000 UTCI wondered that myself. If you're not guilty why do you need immunity? That's enough to raise my suspicions on them alone and cast a lot of reasonable doubt towards Caitlyn's way.
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:04:59 +0000 UTCHe does a great job doesn't he?
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:02:52 +0000 UTCThis is one possibility I also thought. Maybe she was led to believe that it would benefit her both romantically, thus a financial benefit as well? I don't know if she knew of Bill & Kelly's financial situation. Even if she was in on it, I don't think she administered the does, or knowingly do so, and I would venture a guess that she wasn't aware of the true intent. It's a stumper.
Rebecca Lyn
2021-04-06 13:02:18 +0000 UTCShe didn’t do it ... it was the enabled son
Donald Guild
2021-04-06 12:03:48 +0000 UTCDifficult case! The probabilities are that she did it but had I been on the jury I would have had reasonable doubt. Didn't like her husband AT ALL but that's not enough to find someone guilty!
Fulvia Bottani ni
2021-04-06 11:30:59 +0000 UTCNot sure if I'd think she's guilty or not. Ofc, I wasn't at the trial and didn't see all of the evidence and testimony. But this has reasonable doubt all over it.
Nadja Ximena
2021-04-06 10:42:23 +0000 UTCShe may be guilty of course but I'm not convinced.
Si Greg
2021-04-06 08:07:19 +0000 UTCThis is such an unusual case. I don't believe she should have been convicted as there is reasonable doubt. If I had been on that second hung jury I would have stuck to my guns and not changed my answer just because the judge demanded it. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I had.
Si Greg
2021-04-06 08:06:14 +0000 UTCThanks for all your hard work as always Mike.
Si Greg
2021-04-06 07:59:28 +0000 UTCI think she was made to be part of the plan in some sort of way. And they have threats over her, and/or empty promises to monetary shares....just back fired, due to relationship drama...just cant mix honey and money, never works out well...
Heather Lilly
2021-04-06 04:14:54 +0000 UTCThat wink tho.
Kyle Leonard
2021-04-06 04:07:48 +0000 UTCI was thinking the same thing but then Mike said that they interrogated her so hard that she threw up.. I'm not sure if that was before or after she admitted to writing the letter but is it was then it wouldn't have been the first time someone admitted to something that they didn't do due to being under pressure by cops.. For me this one is hard to determine.
Amanda Sweat
2021-04-06 01:55:07 +0000 UTCThanks Mike. This is an interesting one.
Taco John
2021-04-06 01:46:28 +0000 UTCI get the real feeling that dad and son are guilty. This girl has NO motive. Stay well, Mike!
Karen Vega
2021-04-06 01:28:00 +0000 UTCSome other interesting bits I found about Conley: "Her DNA was also found in the colchicine vial." "Investigators also discovered that in 2015, Conley gave Adam supplements that she claimed would help him focus on his final exams for college. He not only became sick but experienced similar symptoms to what his mother had."
gethaunted
2021-04-06 01:12:50 +0000 UTCHi, Mike, and welcome to my mondays. I don't really know what to think about this case, and one of the reasons is that I barely understood what Kaytlin said to the police; she speaks too low and cries at the same time... The motive the prosecutor points out seems too feeble for murder; but the letter she sent to the police seems to incriminate her... Hung jury, for my part. Stay well and healthy, Mike. Till Thursday!
Paula Bernardes-Silva
2021-04-06 00:19:12 +0000 UTCI don't think I could have convicted her based on this. there are to many questions still remaining

2021-04-05 22:31:22 +0000 UTCI watched this while waiting for my chiropractor appointment. 🤔
Lisa Henkel
2021-04-05 21:42:06 +0000 UTCwonder if they could have tried to extract DNA from the petter, maybe fingerprints - I think she is innocent, i think they framed her (dad and son) i think they sent the letter knowing ip address would lead to her. Mike, thanks for all yu do, the sheer amount if editing and research you put in plus bringing us a great narrative really is someone i am happy to pay my Patreon support for! - I've not watched a true crime case until you cover it - I keep commenting but can you cover the TECH CEO who dies in very mysterious circumstances? Erin Valenti, there is tonnes of footage and everything you need to create a great video for us all, its the one case I'd love you to cover as its already so fascinating without being added to that chapter hope you see this one! cheers Mike, Katie - watched every single video ever / superfan
Katie Fox
2021-04-05 20:54:23 +0000 UTCI agree, if she hadn’t written the letter she would not have become a suspect. Also how did she know where the colchicine was. I would have thought the murderer would have gotten rid of it, not left it under the seat of the car.
Soffity
2021-04-05 18:56:20 +0000 UTCSo Mike, this case is not so mysterious if you don't lose sight of the fact that she admits she wrote the letter to the police. Even if you accept for a moment the far fetched idea that Adam and his father were in cahoots to frame Katlyn, they *COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN* that she would write that letter, which was pivotal in bringing scrutiny upon her. That really bothers me. I can't make that work out in my head in a way that leaves her innocent.

2021-04-05 16:22:25 +0000 UTCI’m in ATLANTA! Enjoying the time with the kids!! Went by the Falcons center and thought about you! Have a great week!
Peri Jetton
2021-04-05 16:17:33 +0000 UTCWow, this may be the first time I don't think they're guilty. I really don't think she did it.

2021-04-05 16:17:27 +0000 UTCLove being a Patreon so I can get videos early :) in this case I have a lot of reasonable doubt

2021-04-05 14:32:25 +0000 UTCGet a lawyer, get a lawyer!
Sash Johnson
2021-04-05 14:32:11 +0000 UTCREASONABLE DOUBT! This is proof that the cops find a likely suspect and then focus on just that ONE PERSON until they hang them. Giving immunity to the two other suspects was the linchpin. If the jury believed that no one would be convicted, they would be more likely to return a guilty verdict.
Sash Johnson
2021-04-05 14:31:48 +0000 UTCShe hung herself by sending and admitting to sending that letter and buying the prepaid credit cards! And not asking for a lawyer.... The court as well adds suspish to the mix by granting immunity to father/son and the judge "forcing" a verdict ! Who does that? What a mess. As always thank YOU mike I feel like I'm getting quite a lot of value for my patreon $$. Bless u man, you're a gem. I want you, my wonderful dentist, and Taylor Swift to live forever!
Jojo
2021-04-05 14:23:34 +0000 UTCOoooooh. This was a good (terrible). I think that they were all involved and the framed her up somehow. They are all right pieces of shite (the suspecs). Family dynamics must be hella awkward now that Mary's sister is with her potential immunity murderer. Brunch is OFF. Thanks as always, Mike. Your cheerful murder narration always makes me smile!
Karol Carstensen
2021-04-05 14:00:01 +0000 UTCOh, man. I think they did a job on the girlfriend.
Joe Raposa
2021-04-05 13:58:54 +0000 UTCI listen to you while I get ready for work, and I was just about to put on eyeliner (it requires focus and steady hands) and what do I hear in my ears? "It involved Pukin' and Poopin'." Now I'm laughing so much my eyeliner is running. Thanks Mike 😂

2021-04-05 12:58:20 +0000 UTCThat's what I was thinking... hm
Lisa B
2021-04-05 12:51:08 +0000 UTCThe motive for Bill and/or Adam seems a lot stronger..just saying. A really interesting one, well delivered as ever, thanks Mike.
Sara N
2021-04-05 12:33:41 +0000 UTCWhy would the police give immunity to the 2 other prime suspects, but who the police have decided weren't involved? Sounds illogical, normally immunity is given to someone the police know is involved, but involved to a lesser extent, so they give them immunity to get them to testify against the person with the greater involvement. I hadn't heard of this case before, thanks for your excellent presentation.
