Killing to Shop? | Dana Sue Gray Case Analysis 

I’m so disturbed by the fact that you can take out a life insurance policy on someone without their knowledge/permission. How is that legal? Why would someone want to secretly take out a policy on someone OTHER than for criminal reasons??

Can you imagine what kind of nurse she was? It makes me think of this mean nurse I once had that made me feel helpless and disgusting when I was unable to walk or swallow, sitting in a hospital bed relying on someone else for all my hygiene and care. It was horrible.

“Sudden credit card discovery induced shopping disorder “ Thanks Dr.Grande I finally have a diagnosis I can use whenever I feel the urge to shop online(with my OWN credit cards!)😂

This is absolutely wild. I don’t have adequate words for how sick this is

This is superb storytelling Dr Grande, but honestly I’m glad I live a simple and boring life! Thank you for all you do every day 🌷

"... you can't spell catapult without cat..." 😁 What a sick woman. Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande! ❤️

When somebody’s response to financial problems is to do loads of cocaine, you don’t need Ms Cleo to know their story won’t end well.

I'm only two minutes in, but after hearing already about the cruelty to animals, I'm hoping the timeline of the crime concludes with "Dana was sentenced to the electric chair"... or "Dana was sentenced to life in New Jersey without the possibility of parole".

Oh, the glorious off day insta-watching of Dr Grande! The SECOND best thing about being off on 420! 😉🤫🤭

you’re the most consistent thing in my life, Dr. G

"You cant spell catapult without cat" had me in tears. This guy is hilarious man.

Always interesting 🤔 Always consistent in delivery….Always professional and a dollop of humor. Thanks Dr. Grande

What an absolute monster, and right from the time she was a child she demonstrated very cruel behavior. Excellent video, Dr. Grande, and of course it had your very funny dry wit throughout! ;D

You're so dedicated, you never let me down. Thanks!!

Always interesting. I'm glad I isolate. People are crazy. Thank you. Peace 💕🇺🇲

Over a million subs, it's crazy to think of where this channel was a year ago. Not enough people give your podcast a sub, the stark juxtaposition between your solo act and the ensemble is crazy

How about a speculative analysis on the 1984 kidnapping of Jody Plauche by Jeffery Doucett? What made the case famous is the reaction of Jody’s father, Gary Plauche. Very interesting and chock full of potential mental health factors. Either way please keep us the amazing work you are doing. We all enjoy your videos regardless of the topics you choose.

thank dr grandi, you are a living youtube legend who graces with your presence on our screens

Your the Best Dr. Grande , l appreciate your dedication and time 😊

I'd really love a case analysis for Dr House

Who doesn't love lots of cowboy boots?? I have a hard time watching Dr. Grande's videos without choking with laughter at the sudden zingers! Best channel on RU-vid!

Dr. Grande can you analyze the case of Samantha Bachynski and Patrick Selepak. He was a wrongly released parolee in MI who then went on a killing spree with his 19yo gf. She said he made her help with the killing. They were on an episode of Killer Couples. This case has always fascinated me. Thank you!

my mom needs to watch this one! if I was being held by kidnappers for 10k ransom and that was all she had to spend in Macey"s....she would miss me terribly and think of me often!

To be fair, she was an accomplished consumer.

Forget any mental disorders !!! Ugh Evil right the core !!!

I love everything about your videos! I love the intro and outro (which I have memorized and I always say them along with you😅) and the consistency of content! I watch it whenever I need to forget about everything, and I play them in the back when I study, clean, and to go to sleep!! Thank you :)

"Sudden credit card discovery induced shopping disorder." OK, I spent several hours digging into the latest DSM-V and can't find that one... This guy is too much. I'm almost LMAO each time I watch one of these.

Information AND comical. I love your analysis

I grew up in Orange County, Calif. Saddleback was a very good college, and Riverside/Corona had some very good hospitals and some excellent mental health facilities. Too bad she didn't try to use them. i also worked for the telephone company at one time, I didn't realize those cords were that tough, although Bell Labs went to a lot of trouble to make the cords, and the phones very near to indestructible.

With the seemingly out-of-control behavior at first I thought bipolar would be a consideration but like you say it sounds more calculated. If she had bipolar she probably would not have been able to endure nursing training and that career without being evaluated by someone before hand.

Hey Dr. Grande❣️ I HOPE U HAD A GREAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND!! Thank you for the new video!! I missed ur last couple videos, so after this one, I've got to catch up on them. Much love🥰

Good as always, Doc

As usual, excellent analysis. I love to pick your brain! Just started watching that show on Peacock about Dr. Duntch- really bizarre. I attended Millsaps College, so this one hits close to home. If you haven’t already, please let us know your thoughts.

Daily dose of Grande 🌵 logic = my moment of Zen.💙🧘‍♀

Please Dr Grande if you read the comments, would you consider analysing the disappearance of Trevor Deely 🙏

I’ve never heard the stuff about her childhood. Those red flags were bright red.

I enjoy your descriptions. They are very witty and dry.😅

Good Day, Dr. Grande. Just finished doing my Mediterranea Pilates. On with Binging. 👌

She really took the term 'treat yo self' to the nth degree

Doc Grande never sleeps

Sam's club commercial just before this segment was oddly resonating with me for some reason. Excellent dialogue

This was really interesting. Thank you:)

I'm a borderline and I have major anger issues... I've broken a lot of electronics and punched holes in multiple walls. But shit I don't think I could ever bring myself to kill someone... Whenever I hear cases like this where a clinician diagnoses the person with BPD I really second guess them. Myself and other borderlines I've met actually have MORE empathy than most people, and therefore can't commit violent crimes against other people unless it's self defense or defense of another person. I will say that once me and my gf were walking in the park with her one year old son when we encountered a homeless man who made some threats. We kept walking but I picked up my keys and positioned the sharpest one between two fingers in a closed fist. I was absolutely prepared to kill the homeless man if he would have attacked, but ONLY to stop him from harming my gf and her son.

This is off topic, but I watched the prince Harry interview and I wondered if he is developing a savior complex. Could you comment?

"Malignant Narcissists" (those who possess traits of psychopathy, narcissism, AND sadism) who successfully become licensed healthcare professionals are especially good at flying under the radar for years. I unfortunately know from experience. Their position of trust gives them access both to vulnerable victims and controlled substances. Their professional credentials give them the appearance of legitimacy and credibility whenever complaints arise -- which undoubtedly there were _MANY_ over the course of her career given her long history of sensation-seeking and callous behavior dating back to childhood. Their professional training taught rapport building techniques, a skill they've honed interacting with hundreds, if not thousands, of patients. Finally these 'professionals' know better than most, the ins and outs of the legal system thanks to the continuing education required for their profession. Even after having turned over evidence including audio recordings, text messages, and emails, involving a licensed mental health counselor, it's been over 2 months and the state licensing board hasn't even referred the criminal violations to law enforcement. (e.g. manufacturer and administration of psychadellics to clients during the course of counseling sessions without supervision or safety protocols.) I also included the name and suicide date of a dual therapeutic relationship client of this counselor that the included evidence proves took place during these 'drug trials'. Based on public reviews I'm confident I'm not the first to report him, I'm just the first to recognize the narcissisic and psychopathic traits (thanks to Dr. Grande's videos) because I've been in a dual therapeutic relationship with him for almost two decades. While this woman's downfall was ultimately a result of a combination of factors including (but not limited to) her grandiosity, entitlement, financial irresponsibility, and impulsivity-- which were all undoubtedly exacerbated by her illicit drug-use-- I think she is an example of the 'trail of destruction' that Dr. Grande has covered in previous videos on Narcissisim and Psychopathy. Thanks Dr. G for covering another cautionary tale about the dangers of these destrctive personality traits.

Hi Dr. Grande! I have an interesting analysis request. I would love to see a video about Drew Carrey as the host of the Price is Right. Generally speaking, It's obvious to me he isn't "into it" like Bob Barker clearly was. I admit there are some good moments with him as host, but mostly it's like he's just there to perform the motions, rush through everything, get the day over with and get the heck outta there! He's mostly just there for the paycheck and I hate that. It's so easy to tell if you really pay attention. Is this a topic worthy of a video? Maybe do a comparison of the two hosts? Nobody talks about this and you seem like the perfect man for the job! Another thing I always think about him is how he accidentally got himself locked into having to ask EVERYONE who spins the big wheel if they want to say hi to anyone. I can tell he'd like to end that if he could lol. Thanks for listening.

"You can't spell catapult without a cat" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a RN, I cannot imagine this woman as a nurse. 😳

Dr. Grande, love your videos. I wonder if she harmed anyone while working as a nurse.

I remember this story now. Especially her driving around hitting old ladies in the head; and with a child in the car. Hopefully he has no issues from this. I suppose he stayed in the car. 👌

Did anyone else gasp when the image changed at 3:28?

Did they ever go back and check for bodies where she worked as a "nurse"?

What a despicable excuse for a human being. I would love to know what treatment if any could be provided to a person like this. Would Dr Grande think she's treatable or should she just be in prison or a hospital? Society definitely needs to be protected from her one way or the other. Her mind is obviously not working correctly.

Sex, drugs, shopping, and killing. All forms of excess, all the time. This mentality is what so many people appear to strive toward these days. I'm the most important person, it's all about me. If anyone else gets hurt, oh well. It's a sad commentary on our world that their selfishness may one day lead them where Dana is, or to a similar end. I also wonder about the fate of some of her patients.

Even though I'm a die hard cat person, I had to laugh at "cat"apult!😹

What a terrible person. Cocaine & marijuana always make things worse. Love the early upload, great content. Thanks Dr G😊💙💙

Cat-apult 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dana reminds me of this nurse in the thriller Misery

She definitely has her mother’s genes. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Coincidentally Sue Gray is currently the name on everyone's lips here in the UK.

Evil, evil, stupid evil woman. Buying things, shopping NEVER makes things better. EVER. I hope she never gets out of jail.

I would like Dr Grande to analyze the Jeffrey Locker case. Was it murder or suicide?

What a wild story damn

Oh my goodness this is crazy!

Blaze up Dr G

Can you imagine what it takes to put a defenseless adorable little animal into a catapult to launch it anywhere let alone into a pool where it could easily drown? I guess we should be glad she wasn't launching them into trees. She should have built a catapult for herself to be launched. My little girl would have been all to pieces if she saw somebody do something like that. She would have been completely distraught and unable to comprehend why anyone would do that. We share the world with these people.

If my kid hurt cats they’d be immediately instituted

Are you at all interested in speaking to Dana directly? As hard as this might be for many people to grasp-Dana has been in prison for 30 years and has rehabilitated on levels that are mind blowing. Maybe you’d like to know how traumatic her childhood was or how severe the other causative factors in her childhood and adolescence were that led up to the commission of her crimes. Not to minimize murder in any way it just helps provide some background. Mommy issues translate to money issues in many of us.

Her dad financially supported her while she was in Riverside County Jail I witnessed jail staff Unlock her door so she could help the girl newcomer in the day room with her panic attack. She may have been a killerShe was a good person and helped a lot of people.

If someone pissed on my bed on purpose the video about their life would be considerably shorter

Imma need that “orsolya gaal” video real soon doc 🤔

Like mother like daughter. Same shopping addiction at their husband's expense. They're both so selfish, they want what they want at everyone's cost.

'Dana the Strangla' 😳

Dana had untreated trauma, and anger.

Damn, good analysis 🧐 Can you diagnose me, though

I'm just really releived she is behind bars. Very scary person this shopaholic.

This woman is totally wild!

Just one thing, Doc: no one "became sexually active at the age of twelve": that's called RAPE.

Yesss king go offfff

Did this horrible woman think she would spend the rest of her life murdering and not get caught ?

Can you do a video on Alexis Saborit? He stabbed his girlfriend to death and decapitated her in broad daylight in Shakopee, MN last year and it seems like nobody talks about it.

I’ve heard about psychos killing their stepmother but their step-Grandmother? I like my high end perfume but I don’t think it’s worth killing over

I wonder if the murder was a part of the thrill

What is this madness?👂 sudden credit card discovery induced shopping disorder,is that a thing?

I imagine she may be a source of material for jokes about differences between men and women, with the typical stereotypes such as women being crazy for shopping. Something a bit like "the onion's" news on the first female dictator being a landmark for feminism, with the whole serial killer aspect as well. At first it seems so mismatching, the idea of being a nurse while also having such propensities. Makes me wonder if it's really a bizarre mismatch of two different but genuine propensities, or whether this line of career is attractive as a form of disguise. "What? A nurse strangling people around? No way. She's seen as very gentle and nice by those she care for. Besides, the method would probably be some poison, let's prioritize the other suspects."

Women DO like their shopping

Good Heavens! Gutless, heartless, callous and insane!

Dana!! You do too much!! 😫😭

Just a reminder, Only real ones say the "Grande disclaimer" along with the Dr each video 😊

Mid shopping spree massages are the best! 🤢

This case is so disturbing as she appears to be an extremely unusual perpetrator due to the nature of her crimes. She is a woman who murders elderly women by strangling them so to steal their money & other desirable items. First, it is *far* less likely for a woman to kill compared to a man. Second, she is killing older women who are helpless. Third, she is strangling them, which is a *very* intimate & especially cruel & somewhat slower way to kill someone; it is the chosen method of killers who wish to feel that power over life & death in their own hands & wish to witness the light leave their victim’s eyes, or the act is carried out in a fit of passion or frenzied rage. Ultimately, she is very… unique… but obviously in the worst way possible. I cannot imagine killing the elderly, even more so with my bare hands. The most disgusting & disturbing behavior. Let her rot.

Guess she won't be wearing any of those clothes where she is. She was a real nutcase. Imagine killing to go shopping. Now I can truly say the police must have met them all. If she didn't get arrested she probably would have had to buy a lot of closets.🌹

I was unable to move on after she built the cat-a-pawlt.

Dr grande PLEASE LEAVE OUT REFERENCES TO ANIMAL ABUSE

So…a severe Cluster B case? 😬🤓

Touché!🤺You are absolutely clever my friend,Cat🐈apult #pee the bed💧💦 🛌 💦appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail. give this Analysis🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵 congratulations 🍾

Great analysis of the difference between female and male killers. None. At the time of their crimes each and everyone thought their needs superceded their victim's.

Considering valentine's day has nothing to do with chocolate.. homicide and hearts 😄

Wow, you just can't make this stuff up. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

why would she be urinating on the bed at an early age? for me her behaviors indicate abuse of a certain kind. I don't think the shopping , particularly luxury items, as a motivator to murder or commit other crime can be underestimated, particularly of recent. She reminds of the catfisher/trafficker Tara Lee, who had drawers of luxury watches, cars etc, and who exploded mothers, trafficked Babies and catfishes prospective adopters with wild stories. in fact, if she hadn't targeted their paps, then probably the police would not have acted. I have heard that prior to that scam, she was looking at trying of get guardianship of elderly people (that's what reminded me of her, along with the shopping) .. which fortunately was stopped. But she is out of jail in 8 years so who knows what all be net.

My psychopathic brother is a kleptomaniac.
