i cannot. "Definitely not a bag of drugs" lmao. contains drugs lmao. too funny pmg
what is very funny is that you make an ad for an online ponzi "app', when covering a ponzi case.
She is not to be believed.
You said he's a body builder? I have heard around the gym that body builders use insulin to gain a lot of muscle mass.
Why have people on that don’t know the facts. She quit her job and didn’t have access to insulin.
Testimonies from family and friends, text messages were all investigated showing he wasn't involved.
Please remember all the medical info about Michael, came from the killer herself. There was no proof he was talking steroids. It was mentioned on the past he did but only Natalie said he still was. The defense kept saying he was a body builder and you keep stating that however all the witnesses for the State said, he like to workout n look good but was not the body builder the defense was trying to get every one to believe. I think more when he was younger but not before he died. Many killers make the victim sick so it doesn’t look suspicious. Mark who killed his wife. With eyedrops then finished with a pillow. He had two trials. He made her sick n she said she thought he was poisoning her😢 the caretaker who killed her victim also with eyedrops. Was making her sick for over a year to the point where the victim was depressed. Kouri, going to trial soon…. Her husband said he thought she was trying to poison him. He got very sick 1-2 times before he died. I could go on. Remember where the info came from tho. It’s always the killers n most of the time they keep them from their families. I mean as Michael was dying. Natalie was texting his mom about signing more contracts. As he was dying for Pete’s sake.
When ppl are on the show. They really should know the facts before stating things. The reason the friends didn’t call or take him is because she told them he had previous seizures and he just slept it off. She said he would be furious with her if he woke up in the hospital. She said she was letting him sleep it off like last time. Sadly most of the information the defense used n the kids n defense witnesses used… all came from the killer herself. That happens in so many cases. The killer does something to make the victim sick so it looks like they were sick n just died. They plant thoughts on ppls minds a head of time. She knew his supplements came from Florida, not Mexico. That is how you know the kids were coached. They said they knew things. However it was proven over n over the kids actually did not know the truth. Only what Natalie fed to them.
We do know what he knew n didn’t know. The trail spoke about the investigation into emails and text messages. He didn’t know. He was figuring it out. He kept asking questions. The day she injected him with insulin ,they were supposed to be talking to the bank to see why the money was not there. She knew why. She told a neighbor she had cancer to get insulin. It was proven she never had cancer. She was saying this stuff to get sympathy, insulin etc. she even said she had the flu so they could not go to the bank. The doctors tested her two diff times n she never had the flu even. She just lied n killed him so he would not find out n tell on her. Instead she killed him then blamed the fraud on him. Messages from Michael to her were asking where the money is, he was upset as he was figuring out she was scamming even her family n his family. She even told his mom that she could not be in the room with her son. Then when his mom was there, Natalie told his mother that she bathed him. Pinched his scrotum as had as she could n he didn’t move. How horrible to do and say that to the mother. When Natalie said to unplug his life support…. She thought he would die right away but he sat up or part way n opened his eyes. Micaela mother said she looked terrified like he would get better n tell on her.
She was no longer a pharmacist at the time she got insulin from the neighbor. Also her parents are in major denial. They believe that Natalie n Michael were scammed n do not believe her daughter was the scammer the whole time. Also Michael’s kids blocked their paternal gma n believe their dad did it to himself n believe Natalie. His family has nothing left of their son other than his children. However they won’t talk to them. It’s so sad. She will never get out. The jury saw right through her lies good for the jury.
Ya didn’t do ya research complete not hatin jus sayin ….. this that like button if you agree ðŸ˜Å
Why does she keep laughing?
Hard to imagine her greed. My little girl is a clinical PharmD at a Level I Trauma hospital. She went to school for 8 years plus a 2 year residency. This long and hard journey paid off and she has a very nice life. I can’t imagine her throwing it all away!
Narcan….atleast she is responsible….wrong drug tho
White Collar Crime! Isn’t she charged with killing her husband?
Anna you have an excellent voice and demeanor for the true crime genre. Good show.
charged for 2.5 million, but the in-laws were hit for 10 millon?
also, the state trooper and others were probably convinced by the wife to not call for help
Guilty. 1st degree murder. Jury got it right.
Not a fan of Anna's shirt.. 😮 Other than that . great episode!
I have the same bag-I got it off Temu!!â¤
Hello, Beautiful Ana, & Racheal!!â¤
Please do thorough research before you speak to a case on a podcast. You are missing a lot of important information. He didn’t know she was the contact with “DODâ€Â. She made up contact at DOD and she made up Bank details. He didn’t do any of that.
She not only didn’t call 911. But she took a picture of him crumpled on kitchen floor. Then gets him to the couch without checking his head (apparently he hit it when he fell-she told 3-4 different stories). Then he involuntary urinated. Still didn’t call 911. She was NOT a pharmacist at the time she “allegedly†administered it to him. Plus when she was talking to friends she was adamant that he never wanted to go to hospital. Friends gave them their option ion. She’s the spouse. When best friend showed up, he didn’t listen to her and took him to hospital. She had many reasons she needed him dead. Evidence and circumstance evidence draw a timeline of events that draw a pretty clear picture of motive, means etc
NEVER trust a pharmacist. You can trust them to fill your medications, but that's all. Do not interact with one outside of their job.
Something I haven't heard mentioned that is very common, is that body builders do combine insulin with steroids to burn fat! And if he was that into bodybuilding and steroids it's very likely he was taking them together. Many bodybuilders have died from taking insulin like this.
Guilty or not, I wonder why the defense hasn't used this.
Low blood sugar can cause feelings of dizziness.
Whenever I had to take a steroid.. my Dr always hesitated bc it made my sugar (type 2) go very high..
The guy who testified from bank of america wasnt helpful at all. He was a very confusing witness.
I will never understand why people give money to people like this to invest. Just invest in the S&P and some bonds and make your money. If an investment is too good to be true, it usually is.
Who first alerted the feds about the financial crimes?
Low blood sugar will make one feel dizzy.
I want to know if Michael had a life insurance policy.
She wasnt currently working at a pharmacy. She was living on millions of dollars of stolen funds. So she didnt have daily access to vials of insulin. Which is why she asked her neighbor. Not calling 911 is just ceazy to me.
