Celeste Beard Johnson Case Analysis | Conspiracy to Murder Wealthy Husband 

As a 67 year old man, if a 32 year old woman showed interest in me I would assume she was a)blind, b) crazy, c)out for money, d) all of the above.

Nothing says stable relationship like paying someone to stay married to you.

"A burning Ford Taurus is only slightly less valuable then a nonburning one",. Nice slam Doc.

Surely a prison-themed restaurant should be called Last Meal.

This type of Prenuptial Agreement is called a Buy-a-Wife Agreement with a Life Gamble clause.

My husband was adopted by a psychopath and her weak willed husband and he and the other adopted kids had the same treatment of having his head held under water like Celeste. Not excusing her choices in life but the trauma of being adopted by a monster is deep.

Dr. Grande is like Mystery Science Theater for True Crime.

Celeste was a teenager in the 70s, and her friends said she was too erratic to be around. Everyone in the 70s was an erratic mess, and she stood out that much. Being around Celeste must have been like living in a Kansas trailer park during a tornado outbreak. You know everything you own is going to be destroyed, the best you can hope for is that you make it out alive.

I love when your videos are over 15 minutes. It’s like ordering a Grande Latte at Starbucks. Good until the very end 👌

People never cease to amaze. Not often in a positive way.

"...which meant Tracy was due for an upgrade." funniest one yet.

Tracey was a fantastic witness! Oozed naivete, anguish, & honesty. But the ones who buried Celeste in court were her twins who were clever enough to record one of Psycho Mommy's epic rants.

"A burning Ford Taurus is only slightly less valuable than a non-burning one." LOL!!! The ice whole sale comments LOL. I had to pause the video here because I was laughing so hard LOL. Dr. Grande, I love your dry sense of humor...absolutely hilarious. As always, I enjoyed your brilliant analysis. Thanks, Dr. Grande.

I don't know how you keep a straight face when you crack the funniest statements!!!

After watching this.... being single and financially challenged is looking pretty darn attractive

"First thing you do is you freeze the water and then you sell it." LOL

"Death wish pre-nup!" "A burning Ford Taurus is only slightly less valuable than a non-burning one!" I hope you are saving these one-liners for your inevitable stand-up comedy routine, Dr. Grande!

Ah yes, the infamous gut explosion from a high velocity lead poisoning.

I've watched a lot of documentaries about Celeste Beard, but I never heard the background you shared here. Thank you for the information. So sad for her husband. I actually know a woman who married a much older man for his money. She has been on a vast spending spree. This happens more often than people realize.

Lol. Nice one about the ice 🧊 wholesaler 😂 "First thing you do is freeze the water, then you sell it. Training over." 🤣

I remember watching a “Snapped” episode about her and this murder. After he was shot and back at home, she was in charge of changing his bandages from the shooting. She would purposely come in from working/planting flowers in the yard and not wash her hands. She’d then change his bandages with dirty hands in hopes he would get badly infected and it would kill him. This is just plain evil. I don’t believe she ever loved him or even cared for him. Just his money. Sad. But she’s where she should be now. Enjoyed your analysis! ❤️💜💚

Your analysis was way better than prison food!😂🤣 This video is humor overload…😅🙌🏼👌🏼 Thank you for the analysis and the laughter, that certainly helps lighten up the subject. ❤️

Dr. Grande's delivery was spot on. He didn't crack a smile.🌵🌵🌵 This psychopath should never be released from prison. Although this analysis was devilishly entertaining, I can't help but feel sorry for all the unwanted children including Celeste.

I knew Celeste. She shined, all smiles and curly hair. I overheard (couldn’t help it she was sitting next to me when she answered the phone) her lose her s*** on one of her daughters. Outrageous screaming, abusive and out of control. She ended the call and went right back to beaming smiles and bouncy personality. She told me she married her lawyer (found out later it was a bartender who was helping her spend Steve’s millions). She also said that Tracy was stalking her (found out that wasn’t true either). Celeste was dangerous, no doubt. Even the other people around were like “must stay away from this lady, nobody has any idea of what she would do if we looked at her wrong.” Thanks for the analysis. I asked you do this, not sure if my request was why you did it, but you did an excellent job.

I was just about to order pizza !!...but Dr Grande has put me in the mood for some of that "prison food". :))

I was watching some of your older vids and I think you have definitely evolved your style into a very fluid, entertaining channel! Keep up the great work.

"a burnt Ford Taurus is slightly less valuable than a brand new Ford Taurus" sick burn, Dr. Grande! 😆😁

Hi Dr. Grande, You killed with that Prison Cook Book...LOL!

I am always kinda dismayed when the "actual" killer gets a very short sentence because they "made a deal" to incriminate another. Karla Homolka (the Canadian) who got 12 years for killing 3 people, one being her sister, because she made a deal to incriminate her husband, an extreme example of injustice IMO.

Still amazes me that you need a license to drive a car, fly a plane, operate some machinery, yet nothing to prove you have the skills to have and raise kids. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ And yet, a troubled childhood still doesn’t give anyone a license to kill…

I remember this case. If memory serves, the murder victim was very generous to Celeste's family and friends. I felt badly for everyone involved really, it seemed so unnecessary😢 Another fabulous video Doc!🙌💙🌞💙 please if you would, notice someone else keeps requesting Sammy the Bull Gravano. Thanks ever so much! 🌈

Boy, weren't they like an accident waiting to happen...both scarred woman, going through life comitting crimes as if they couldn't do a thing about it. Maybe Tracy was more mentally challenged than Celeste. But very clearly a victim of their early upbringing and incapable of love and connecting with others the only way they had learned to do so. Traggic how you can crush someones soul at such a young age and deep level there's no way to form normal relationships. It's like we are evolving into some sort of inhumane being. When you think about it, it's actually quite scary...great video, once again, Dr. Grande you know how to pick them. Bye all, stay safe.

Doc bringing all the jokes in this one! I liked the one about the Ford Taurus lol

She was interviewed recently in Reasonable Doubt. She cried crocodile tears all the interview and blamed everyone for everything except herself. Even her daughters said she was a monster.

I am endlessly fascinated by the Celeste Beard story. Thank you for the added information. This is the first time I learned about her early childhood, it was very enlightening. The snide sarcasm was also appreciated.😎

lol your deadpan humor makes these videos that much more entertaining to watch ;p

"a burning ford taurus is only slightly less valuable than a non burning ford taurus" - LMAO - as an ex owner of a ford taurus, this is absolutely true !!!

I love your humour. Thanks for the upload! Never heard of this case before.

Shot him in the stomach because she didn't want blood on the wall... need I say more about Celeste... worried about her house but not her husband!

O have mercy! Doc was on fire today! It has been a while since I have laughed throughout one of his videos. It was awesome!

'Trumped up beef' 😂

Crazy! The person who shot the victim gets 11yrs and the planner got 40yrs? Only testimony was from a convicted felon?

Hi Dr. Grande! Wishing you a wonderful day! ❤️

The funniest commentary you've ever made in my opinion. I was laughing out loud 😂.

Wow, Celeste Beard really lost the parent lottery. Isn't there some kind of process to make sure people that mean don't adopt children?

I can't remember which show I had first watched the story about Celeste on... but I really like hearing multiple different sources talking about a person and their crime, I really appreciate hearing your perspective and research on this because they hardly talked about her background. I use to really love watching a lot of crime shows, but I feel like a lot of the older ones like to strictly paint them as monsters... when in reality many of these people had very traumatic pasts. It doesn't excuse the terrible things they've done, but it's okay to feel empathy for them and better understanding them might help save others (both potential criminals and potential victims) in the future.

It’s 1:11 AM Saturday yet I can’t sleep Dr. Grande. I’m glad you’re here.

She was 32 and he was 70. He was also a millionaire. "Now, I ain't sayin' she a gold-digger..."

you have the best channel on youtube. i love the style of your videos, the dry humor, and how often you post

I also remember seeing this on Snapped This crime was brutal omg!!! Pure greed n evil. I always felt so bad for those 2 girls Dr Grande. He seemed like a nice man, had a loving bond with them, and would show the kids stability even without her around.

Daily uploads for the win! Love starting my day listening to Dr Grande

Loving the early posts. Thank you. Great way to start the day.

We need the bloopers to be attached at the ends🤣🤣🤣I can't imagine Dr. Grande telling the jokes with the straight face at the first try😂😂😂🥰😍

To start off with, who the hell let the people adopt Celeste and those other kids???

Could you do an assessment on TV host Steve Wilkos and his polygraph examiner Dan Ribacoff? They both drove an innocent guest named Anca Pennington to attempted suicide and Ribacoff is undergoing litigation for allowing his employees at his investigative firm in New York to assault one of his surveillance subjects.

This case really makes it clear how different histrionic and borderline personality disorders are; Celeste is completely egocentric and doesn't care about others at all. People with borderline can sometimes make life miserable for others but no one can say they don't care.

Were the mental health facilitators obligated to tell Beard his wife intended to kill him while institutionalized?

Commentary is ON HIT in this one! Love it Dr. Grande 🎯

You know how sometimes you can just see crazy in someone's eyes. The very first time I saw this case on Investigative Report I saw crazy in Celeste's eyes.

Omg I’m dyn with your sarcastic humor! ❤️❤️❤️it!

Celeste, whoa girl! Raises the bar for bat shit crazy, greedy women. Love the ice reference. Looking good Dr. G.!

I just finished watching your new Patreon video, which was super interesting! Looking forward to this one now.🙂

Now you've got the ice business people mad at you. They are not a group to be on the bad side of, Dr. Grande.

I love your sense of humor!

Yes this is better than prison food!! Great video Dr Grande!!!

Has Dr. Grande analyzed the Daniel Holtzclaw case? His assessment of the investigating police officers would be a valuable insight.

It really screws you up when the people who are supposed to love you (parents, spouses) don't. Pretty much impossible to overcome.

I would love to hear your views on the serial killer Levi Bellfield from here in the UK. They reckon hes killed many more than he was convicted for. And the way the police managed to link 4 separate murders to him eventually was proper old school police work.

Apparently there are not enough adjectives to describe that woman.

I am definitely going to suggest the death wish prenup when I marry.

4th I Love Dr. G's videos! Keep up the good work, Dr.

As always, appreciate your analyses. I've told you before that my second internship was with the chief of the forensic team in a district court in New Mexico. In my rich career I've worked sporadically in the court systems and they remain my finest memories. I appreciate your videos

You should do a video on the “Murdaugh” family, in Hampton, SC. It’s quite interesting.

I got here 30 minutes after it posted and still not even close to being the first comment. U gave us 2 posts yesterday...Thanks for the double header

Dear Dr Grande: We hope that you have many trays and multiple freezers available to you for your next large party, not to mention the secret recipe. Signed: The Ice Manufacturers of America

Always interesting. 💕 the humor. Appreciate your analysis. I'm okay with where the coffee cup is. Peace 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

My kids used to call one of my favorite comfort food, ground meat in gravy over mashed potatoes, prison food

Funnier than usual! Thanks! :)

Best yet...some really good zingers in there had me laughing...

Excellent analysis as always. Thank you Dr Grande.

It's frightening how lack of nurturing during childhood can create antisocial personalities, with ZERO empathy for anyone who gets in the way of what they want. I would very much like to see Dr. Grande's take on the Erin Caffey/Charlie Wilkinson case out of Alba, Texas in 2008: Caffey was a 16-yr.-old girl who conspired with Wilkinson, her 18-yr.-old boyfriend, to murder her parents and siblings. Only her father escaped death.

Freeze the water. Sell the water.🤣🤣🤣 Slightly less than the car if it's not on fire.😂 Dr. Grande, you are hilarious. Love your sense of humor. Bendiciones. 🙏

To learn more about this case, I recommend She Wanted It All, by Kathryn Casey. Celeste wrote (sic) an autobiography, where she blames everyone, especially her late husband and her daughters, for her fate. Everyone except herself, that is. Don't buy it, but good for a laugh if you can find it for free.

This sounds familiar. I thought at first she was part of the Johnson & Johnson family.

I feel like her cookbook would be the prison version of Sandra Lee's cookbook

Thank you for the upload! Very interesting and well done, as always! 🙏

As an ever learning student of psychology I love your videos immensely! Your quips in this video were truly fantastic! Thank you for using your professional knowledge to educate and stimulate our minds.

Love your dialog!! And ur very insightful perspective 👍👍

How could you spend that kind of money in that period of time? That is insane!

Can you make a video about borderline personality disorder in young adults/teens? And the difference between BPD and hormonal teen emotions. Or maybe a video about loneliness in teens and when it becomes extreme enough to consider being tested for certain disorders (dpd, bpd, etc.) Whether you do or not, keep up the great videos!

Dr. Grande has no idea how complicated ice distribution can be.

Wow, the Celeste case was off the wall! Thanks for breaking down the mental health factors that were at play Dr. Grande, it helped to get a better understanding of what was going on. Another great analysis! I especially loved the ice and prison food puns. 😂 If you want a suggestion on a case, I'd suggest a the case of Paddy Moriarty, a man who vanished in a town of 12 people in Australia. The case includes feuding neighbours, wild animals and baked pies. Yes, you read that right. Anyway keep up the amazing work, they really do help my day to day. :)

Dr Grande saying “now moving on to my analysis” like he didn’t just drop the prison food restaurant one-two punch 💥🤛🏼 like a champ 😆🤩😆

It appears that some of the men involved with Celeste missed some subtle red flags. For example, she had been married an infinite number of times. She didn’t like to have sex with the guy she was married to, but definitely liked having it with everyone else. Actual gold miners would come up to her at random times and “say wow, you can really dig.”

I think that even if Celeste had picked up the shotgun shell, the surgeon would have found bird shot in the old man's abdomen and the case would have proceeded in much the same way. Celeste is one of the most evil people I've ever heard of. I'll bet she's still dangerous as a heart attack in prison.

Please cover the Daniel Holtzclaw case and Sirhan Sirhan?

Reminds me of the time when my adoptive "mother" rhetorically stated "what's the difference between you and them"..."them" was in reference to the random Laotion refugee kids that would be invited over after church service or whenever.

Your analysis' are indeed "better than prison food" 😂😂😂

this is unbelievable, imo, Just saying. do NOT shed anyone's blood....💜

I knew a very very wonderful girl, who worked the CC this man belonged to. The crime was so impactful horrific, my friend never would say anything about it *I found out years later she knew them-knew the entire awful series of incidents. That is how horrible the crime was and how genuinely nice this man was. 💔. I never knew the entire background of the wife. Excellent Review.
