Thank god for that ngl. She probably can’t even spell onion backwards. (Context: my friend thought onion was a palindrome. Now we use it to make fun of him.)
I respect how brave he is. He could've left immediately and filled for divorce but he stuck around and collected evidence. Now hopefully she can't hurt anyone else
The worst part is when this was posted online, tons of people were like “but what did you do to make her feel this way??” And tried to frame him for abuse lol
That's one of the biggest problems with western ideology. People assume others are like them, in that they would only do something bad to someone if the other person started the problem. They don't realize most of the world is actually just evil and selfish. That's why you still have people somehow thinking Communism is a good idea.
Bleach evaporates as Chlorine gas when it goes through the coffee maker since it is boiling. Another large portion of it would bind to the coffee grounds and filter. She was only putting a minuscule amount in each time. The amount he was probably ingesting was close to how much you'd get from drinking swimming pool water after a cleaning.
Yea, definitely a dumb way to assassinate someone. I feel like there are so many household items that would do a better job. If people fail to game-end themselves with it, its not a good poison.
I remember a case similar to this where a woman killed 2 different husbands by mixing antifreeze in jello for life insurance. Apparently, that case is the reason they started making antifreeze smell and taste really bad, cuz it was supposedly really easy to mask the flavor in the jello.
Yes, originally antifreeze tasted and smelled very sweet! I’m a vet tech and on occasion we’d get a case of a pet who ingested antifreeze. Because of its sweet taste, typically they would continue drinking it in high amounts. Sadly, antifreeze is EXTREMELY toxic and even very small amounts can be incredibly dangerous or fatal. Another fun fact: the antidote to this poisoning (if caught before the antifreeze is filtered by the kidneys) is VODKA!!
@@boobear9944 isnt it something about body trying to metabolize vodka and leaving the antifreeze be? i remember that ingesting strong alcohol can save your life if you ingest wrongly made alcohol - there was whole thing in czech republic few years ago with alcohol filled with ethanol/methanol, people lost their sight
The fact the man had to conduct his own criminal investigation to get taken seriously really shows how male victims of domestic violence are treated. Like did it not occur to the police they could've tested the contents of the coffee for bleach themselves?
As a woman who was a victim of severe domestic violence, the police often just fucking suck. Mine was taken about as seriously as this. I ended up just accepting that he would never be caught and moved on. I wasn't even looking for him to get in trouble like retaliation or something. I didn't care. I still cared for him honestly. I just wanted there to be a record of his actions and for no one else to face what I did but the police didn't even try despite having for example text messages straight up acknowledging the abuse among multiple other key pieces of evidence. Not saying he wasn't treated poorly, just that women are often treated this bad or worse as well.
@@sjk7467Usually all a woman needs to do is say the guy did something violent and then the cop's hands are tied. They have no choice but to make the arrest. No evidedence is needed. What state do you live in? This isn't consistent at all with most other DV cases.
@@tugboat6940 actually, no, it is consistent with almost all DV cases. what are you on about? I am not from the U.S so maybe its different where you are.
@@karlpuetz8352 where are you from? Because the U.S. has 330 million people and here, when a woman accuses a guy of violence, the guy goes to jail whether it's true or not. No physical evidence needed. It's just their word against yours. Are you trying to say most DV cases involve the man not getting arrested? How can you say that with a serious face? Unless maybe you live in like Saudi Arabia or something like that, your anecdotal experience isn't consistent with the norm at all.
For me I would not have been surprised, been amused yes. At least my ex-wife. Honestly, I think she tried a few times and I just happen to not die easily.
I'm not sure what's worse. Knowing your wife wants you dead or knowing you chose to marry someone stupid enough to think you wont notice bleach in your coffee.
Not exactly the same, but an ex friend/roommate of mine thought it was smart to pour wax down the kitchen drain from one of those scented wax burners. I was blamed for clogging up the drain because the household cleaning (including dishes) was left to me, and everyone was so angry at me until they got a plumber out. I was never apologized to, either. Scary to think that dumb bitch drives a car, and at least at the time, was working the same factory job as me, around heavy machinery.
The worst part is that beach evaporates as chlorine gas when it goes through the coffee maker since it's boiling. Another large portion of it would bind to the coffee grounds and filter.

Impressed with the husband. Most Humans wouldn’t be able to even ACT normal, knowing that the person they chose to marry legitimately wanted them to be a corpse. Dude is a Unit.
I read on another comment that they didnt sleep in the same room and there marriage was more of a contractual thing. I read this in a youtube comment so it could be completely false lol
to realize your own wife not only betrayed you but wants to take your life, and to then put on a poker face for a month and pretend like everything is fine, takes some insane emotional maturity/resilience. I hope that guy is still able to trust, because he deserves better
@@thepotatoman6755 If you read the text on the news report in this video it says they were in the middle of a divorce. Definitely not feeling the love right now haha
he must have cried himself in car or something until there's bag under his eyes and looked sick. the wife probably thought its because her plan is working
As a victim of being stalked, notes left on the front door, a c*ndom left underneath my windshield wiper, all the cops told me was I was still alive and he hadn't "actually done anything to you".😡
This would be so difficult to pretend that everything is fine while you know that your wife is trying to kill you. This man deserves a shot at an acting career.
As someone who accidentally ingested cleaning chemicals, was the first customer at a restaurant one afternoon and their cooking utensils were still covered in it, you know when it hits your stomach. Food tasted a bit off but once it hits your digestive tract you know something is up. Felt like I had a molten coal moving through my digestive tract for about 24 hours. Dudes a trooper for sure.
When I was a kid, I watched a series called "from hell..." every week it was like "holiday from hell" or "hospitals from hell"....well one day, it was "pubs from hell"...this guy, had been handed a pint of what he thought was lemonade, it was caustic soda from the pumps! They hadn't cleared it out, he downed the whole thing as it was a hot day, he did such a number of his insides....I'll never forget that
Idk how she thought she'd get away with it. I cleaned my coffee maker one time and my coffee tasted mildly of vinegar. Also bleach smells so bad that you'd probably smell it through the coffee. There's no reason why anyone would even consider this being a thing that would work
I don't think it was said how he picked up on it, but it could have been through the smell. Like, if you bring the cup up to your face and smell bleach in the cup, that would make some alarm bells go off I imagine. And then you take a sip, and yep, this doesn't taste right.
Did a little digging and found some more stuff: After being arrested, she said her husband sexually assaulted her while they were in germany (didn't find it necessary to speak up until she was in cuffs), When shown evidence, her absolute piece of shit lawyer, Louis Fidel, genuinely said "But how do we know thats the same bleach testing strip? How do we know thats the same coffee pot?" and when shown the video of her literally walking out of the laundry room to the coffee maker WITH BLEACH IN HAND, he said "how do we know those are all the same video? How do we know he didn't just cut it?" She was charged with Domestic Violence, Attempted First-Degree Homicide, Attempted Aggravated Assault and Poisoning Food or Drink.
I don't think the lawyer did anything bad. They probably think their guilty too, but it's his job to defend her. everyone deserves to have a fair trial. even if their obviously guilty.
@@citanon4355 There's a difference between a lawyer acting like a complete moron to try and defend their client's innocence, and a lawyer actually doing their job well. There is video evidence of her poisoning her husband. The lawyer was completely incompetent and was acting in bad faith, completely denying her crimes and exhaustively questioning everything despite the clear, hard evidence of her crimes.
My husband is in the army and yeah if your husband dies you get $400k… that’s probably exactly why she was doing it. What a horrible person. My husband is priceless. He’s also the father of my children. I can’t even imagine losing him. We’ve been together almost 20 years. No amount of money is worth that. I hope they don’t have children. And I hope she rots in jail. Edit: I forgot it’s actually been raised to $500k… so even more motive.
I agree with you 100%. I really hope that they don't have any children either. Please show your darling husband what you wrote as I think he'd appreciate your heartfelt words.
As german I completly understand why he didnt want to involve german law inforcement. They wouldve probably asked her if she did it and advice him afterwards to stop drinking the coffee.
This poor man. I would rather divorce someone, lose everything, live on the street and be absolutely poor before attempting to take someone’s life. He deserves way better. The lengths people go to is absolutely terrifying…
Yea because we cant see whats shes pouring into pot the first few videos. And law enforcement needs tons of evidence to arrest people due to the legal process in court cases. Which is why some cases where they are collecting evidence for months or even years to build up their case to make sure the jury convicts.
no, it’s not. you need to be 100% sure someone isn’t lying about his wife because he wants more out of the divorce or something stupid like that. at this point you could say that for straggots, divorcing is a hobby. poor bobby joe who has been balding since he was 12 is unhappy with his marriage because he’s a crappy husband, and then he blames her for it.
it would make a good horror movie or something of the sort, sleeping next to someone who's trying to kill you constantly and playing along until someone does something is fucking terrifying
I can definitely see her getting out of this. Her lawyers will probably just argue that she was trying to clean the coffee machine and she was just ignorant to the dangers of bleach and how little it takes to be harmful
@@Camazotz-kz9wr Trust me, I dont want her to skate either but all I'm saying is that there are some real slimy lawyers out there that would love this case
Imagine how traumatizing and heartbreaking it must be for you to not only discover that your wife has been poisoning your drink, and having to keep up the ruse of “everything’s fine’ even though you know the truth.
While my uncle was getting divorced from his first wife, she was on meth, she started threating to kill him. Eventually she hired one of her meth head friends to kill him. Unfortunately for her, her phone call was recorded. And the guy she hired took her money and then went directly to the police.
I cannot imagine trying to fall asleep in the same house as her knowing she is trying to kill you. Big props to this guy for holding out while gathering the evidence.
How could you brush your teeth, wash your hair, or eat/drink anything that you didn't open/prepare yourself?? I would be worried she poisoned other things as well as the coffee.
The sad part is he had to endure this to the point where he had to fly back to the US while still playing along and sleeping next to the person that wants to take his life. I don’t know how he was able to sleep at night
My wife worked with a doctor who’s wife was slowly giving him anti-freeze in his drinks. She was a doctor too. It just killed me she has access to so much better shit that probably would never be traced- and she went with that.
I mean if this is true you should know by now that as a doctor she'd have to write down what medicine she took, for which patient and for what reason while putting in her code to unnlock the stash (or card). She'd be tracked down at some point.
Um do you watch alot of true crime stuff? Anti freeze is very sweet and easily masked when you mix it with something else really sweet like say kool-aid or very very sweet coffee, people use it all the time to off their love ones.
I love when Charlie describes the wife trying the bleach over and over and it not working and her potentially thinking, "My husband must be immortal" I laughed quite hard at that. Good stuff man.
I feel terrible for this man. This is horrible. Finding out that someone so close to you wants you dead and is actively trying to kill you must be heartbreaking.
Heartbreak is inescapable, there is almost no path a human being can follow that does not lead to a heartbreak. However, it can ground us truly in whatever grief we are experiencing, set us to planting a seed with what we have left… or appreciate what we have built… even as we stand in its ruins. Get ur money up kid.
My dad's ex wife used to make spaghetti like 2 times a week. It always sucked and made my dad and i sick as hell the next day. Dad thought it was weird that every time spaghetti was made, she already had her plate and never got seconds. After being removed from the house for assaulting my dad and the bail was made for her, she had to find a new place to stay. She wanted her stuff, naturally, so dad and i began collecting her items for one of her family members to pick up. We found all kinds of shit she was hiding/hoarding (My dad had no idea since he was sleeping on the couch for the last 3-4 years of their marriage.) Gold, silver, sports memorabilia, tons of collectors coins, snack cakes and other food items. Also a particular box with books about which craft along with notes regarding us and labelled vials that have been used to different levels. It was some off the wall shit, nothing like bleach or common household cleaning products. WE HAD NO IDEA THIS LADY WAS POISONING US. It's sickening that a woman who married my father and knew me since i was 7 years old would do something like that. This all happened when i was 23
it’s so wild that he had to get more and more proof of this, it’s so telling on how society perceives make victims of abuse. He’s also a service member which IMO is even worse, he has to jump through hoops to prove his wife is trying to hurt him. awful.
My biggest fear would be that she'd think the bleach in the coffee wasn't working and move onto just killing me in my sleep, or doing something else I didn't have a camera set up for.
I imagine he probably did have to lean in on the acting sick bit to keep her going. Otherwise, the husband really would be in danger of an impatient killer.
She was after his insurance money, if he gets murdered, in his sleep she wouldn't get a dime, she'd have to move onto a stronger poison in his food or something
I would like to imagine a scenario where the husband pours her and himself a cup of coffee. Then he sips his and watches her drink hers. Then as she collapses due to poisoning, he tells her he has been building up a tolerance to bleach and her plan was inconceivable. Then he runs off to become a pirate.
My ex tried doing this to me once💀 she put bleach in coffee and said it was vodka. When i refused to drink it cuz vodka makes me puke, she kept insisting i drink it. When i finally took a sip i was like okay well im not drinking more. Then she admitted she put bleach in it, and she was trynna kill me💀💀💀 that was a wild day, she had borderline personality disorder tho and was an addict so i didn't really get upset, just kinda shocked. she ended up overdosing and died a month later. Wish she would've gotten the help she needed, i dont blame her for trying to poison me with bleach, she needed help with her mental health, and addiction but she just never got it.
I would have acted like i shared the whole cup of coffee with our child while watching cartoons just to see her lose her mind or prove just how diabolical she truly is.
What's even more heartbreaking than finding out your own wife is trying to kill you is the sheer determination she has at doing it. He was recording her for over a month? I frankly would have been terrified to sleep in the same house with her.
I genuinely feel like if you try to murder someone for insurance, not only should you get jail time for attempted murder, but also have insurance fraud added to your case
@@ang4lfacethat's why he said it should be added preemptively. Of course if she committed insurance fraud, they would have already added it, meaning he wouldn't say "what they should do in the future is -'
We can't prove it's attempted insurance fraud unless she confesses or something. Maybe she tried murdering her husband not to collect insurance but because he's never letting go of the TV remote and after many years she's had it.
I love how there's all this video footage of her pouring bleach into the coffee maker, and they still keep saying "allegedly", as if we're not literally watching her doing it.
Isn't it charming how one footage of the wife putting a suspicious-looking substance into the husband's coffee maker didn't prompt the authorities to start an investigation as if they expected her to be holding a cartoonish big vial with a skull on it and cackling like a witch in the video?
It sucks but frankly there was little evidence at first. Especially as she was bringing the bleach over from the laundry to the kitchen, it would’ve been hard to prove. At least now she’s definitely going away and hopefully won’t get a cent of alimony. But frankly it wouldn’t have held up in court. Did he need to do it for a month? I doubt it. Probably just a week w the cameras, but still
I think it was actually a precaution from the police; to any sensible person, obviously that's enough evidence, but in a court of law there's tons of slimy weasels who will twist and turn to get their client out of a bad situation. Getting the video footage and PH levels tested is undeniable proof imo that would be impossible to recreate if he started a scene earlier
Imagine her IQ after the 50th time and it still not working. When do you change the plan? Fool me once...shame-on-you?....fool-me---twice....er....uh....we just can't get fool again alright!?
I can't imagine the mental fortitude someone needs to find out their wife/husband is trying to POISON THEM, and instead of immediately leaving and filing for divorce, they keep calm, act like they have no idea, and go on to collect all the evidence in the world to prove it before confronting them, all while still living with an actual socio/pschopath.
When I was a kid, there was a cup of bleach on the counter because the container broke. I drank a sip thinking it was a drink my mom got for me. It's one of the clearest memories of my younger childhood. I still remember the taste, the feeling of chemical burning in my esophagus, the vomiting, the trip to the ER, the charcoal milk they had me drink to counteract it. I'm 35 years old now and this happened when I was 4. It is one of, if not, the clearest memories I have.
What's even more insane was that there are some women out here actually defending her saying that he must have done something to make her do something like that. Absolute brain rot
I watch a true crime type youtube show so its mostly a female audience and any time a woman commits an atrocity the comment section is full of women justifying it.
@@JR-wf5kg because women have a weird culture of hyping each other up no matter what. “Awh sis you tried to kill your hubby? He probably deserved it because youre such a queen, you should be doing what you want!” stupid shit like that
@@sirmonkey3215There are a lot of cases when it’s because the man is abusive. Unfortunately, women who lie about being abused to justify their own abhorrent behaviours completely ruin that for the women who are ACTUALLY being abused, not just abuse victims who cheat, but abuse victims in general.
I just wanted to out nerd some people, for those wondering about him putting the paper into the bleached and normal water, it's to determine the pH level, bleach is a strong alkali which appears as a dark purple and normal water appears differently depending on how you do it.
There was a case a few years ago about a woman named Stacey Castor who used antifreeze to do her husband in. After she pulled that off, she went after her daughter the same way, which is how she got caught. This stuff is crazy.
Correction she killed 2 of her husband's using antifreeze. And that whole case is the reason why antifreeze no longer has a sweet taste to it. It was reformulated to taste bitter and nasty.
What amazes me is how there can be THIS much evidence and people will still say "allegedly', but in cases with absolutely zero evidence (like the kwite case) people will talk about it as though it's an objective fact that he did those things
Yeah a disturbing amount of people don't even care about justice to begin with, it's all politics. Whatever outcome best fits their pre-existing worldview is the one they'll presume to be true, and they'll wilfully ignore evidence to the contrary.
It's not because there is or isn't evidence, it's because the person has not been officially convicted of the crime in court. It might look stupid to an unsophisticated mind but the presumption of innocence before being proven guilty in court is a lot better then never getting a fair trial and automatically guilty without the opportunity to present your defense.
@@t-rex_tion9612FR. No joke dude like this doesn't even require brain power, anybody w common sense can tell whats going on. No point in even having a "trial" when its quite literally obvious whats happening
@@themightylog2169Report the person trying to kill u to cops. At the very least, tell everyone acquainted with them about this psychos deeds so they dont become victims due to the psycho
I saw it this morning and I was just shocked at her sick twisted acts. I was also shocked at her stupidity, does she really think he can't taste the chemicals in the coffee?? Besides, if he did die, an autopsy would obviously show evidence of poisoning, because people don't just suddenly die for no reason, so she'd be screwed either way and wouldn't get the money. Smh. She needs to be locked in prison for LIFE.
Fr she did not even think about those things cause her greediness got to her head and she became a braindead bottomfeeder hoping she would get the money.
The story goes he and his wife moved to Germany and one day out of the blue the same coffee he had been drinking every morning for years started to taste a bit off, on top of that his stomach started to hurt a lot after drinking the coffee around the same time. One day he took the same coffee from home and made it in the coffee pot/maker at work and the coffee tasted the same as it always had so he thought it was his coffee maker. He cleaned the inside of the coffee maker and pot multiple times but it didn't seem to help so he thought it must be the water and started using distilled water yet again it didnt seem to be helping. The next thing he thought to do was to buy a bottle of water testing strips so he could test the water coming out of the sink and in the coffee maker. After testing the water coming out of the sink the results came back clean showing nothing was wrong with it, then he tested the water after filling up the coffee maker before going to bed and again the test came back clean, however when he woke up and before he started the coffee maker as he did every morning before getting ready for work he tested the water in the coffee maker once more but this time the test came back negative. One of the squares turned a dark purple meaning there was very high levels of chlorine in the water. It was at this moment he suspected someone was tampering with it and decided to go out and buy a hidden camera and put it in a place where he could see the coffee maker clearly only to see the person tampering with the coffee maker was his own wife. We went out and bought more hidden cameras to capture as many angles as possible until he had the evidence to get the police involved.
I can just imagine they got a plant in the corner where he can stealthily pour the coffee away every time she turns around so she thinks he's drunk it, like in cartoons
Sir, I think it's wiser to say that *allegedly* the reason "Allegedly" is so often thrown out in media is if they don't and the defendant is cleared of the crimes it's an automatic slander suit.
In America, you aren't "cleared" of a crime, a jury merely says the evidence was not beyond a reasonable doubt. OJ Simpson famously won the criminal homicide charge against him, but was successfully sued in civil court where the evidence bar is lower. Meaning, lady can be acquitted and sue, but if the evidence is 51% she did it, she won't get a dime.
@@hoi-polloi1863 It might not even be an automatic slander suit, so we should probably say that allegedly the reason "Allegedly" is so often thrown out in media is if they don't and the defendant is cleared of the crimes it's allegedly an automatic slander suit.
My eyes would have been bloodshot from the fear of falling asleep every night in the same bed of someone's who is trying to kill me. I would always be awake.
You should look up the case where a wife poisoned her husband for the insurace money before he could divorce her and then went on to make a kids book about childrens grief loosing a parent even selling it on amazon before she was caught.
After You've been broken you can do crazy things to get through this stuff. I had to pretend with my ex for months because i was so scared he'd ruin my life if i just broke it off with him and left. So i eased out of it and tried to get him to want to leave me. And i needed to prove to myself how bad he was. It's sad and scary that you can get to this point but you can yeah.
I was the victim of domestic abuse and violence from my 'then' girlfriend, and despite the PLETHORA evidence I gave the police at the time, they did nothing about it.. only when she then attacked 3 other people did they arrest her. I really hope that this woman gets what's coming to her, because I really do NOT the system to hand out justice...
the "system" is so broken towards women its insane, my mother wouldnt show up to my court days for possession when my parents seperated, cause she was using drugs, and using child payments on drugs, and prostituting, moving me and my sister all around the country for years, until one day, my Dad just didnt return me one weekend, Cps investigated, and finally sided with my Dad, it took the "system" 5 years to do anything, and it was cause my Dad finally forced their hand
FWIW: You only need to say 'allegedly' when referring to a crime, not an action that factually occured. So you can say she poisoned her husband without qualifying it, but if you say she committed attempted murder (a specific crime) then you need to say allegedly. Because while its true she did it, she may not be guilty of the crime. Edit: fair point below, it would still be 'allegedly poisoned', as we can't speak to intent. There's no allegation needed for 'she put bleach in the coffee machine'.
I still think it's a really dumb thing, I study law too, and I think it's probably one of the most broken things in the law that can easily be exploited, people used to say the facts how they were before Johnny Depp V Amber Heard.
At one of my work places, someone once tried to clean the coffee pot with bleach. They rinsed it out and everything, but the whole next day customers complained that the coffee tasted like bleach. Even just a hint of it is incredibly obvious
