The murder of Brenda Thurman [True Crime Documentary] 

Thank you for your service! ❤ I know very little about guns but I know in middle school they had us do hunters safety. Which I don’t think they do that anymore. I agree with you.

I have an MA in Psychology and worked 30 years as a counselor. From my perspective, there Is NO Way that a person can Fake the type of deep grief that this man showed, starting right after his wife was shot. This includes his involuntary vomiting at the hospital. The simple reason why he didn't perform CPR nor call 911 is that he was in the sincere state of shock that comes after a legitimate accident. Psychiatrist Karl Jung discussed a concept he called "synchronicity". This is when a person Mistakenly treats a mere coincidence as being MUCH More Significant than a mere coincidence. This logical error (which is so easy to make) explains why people associate the coincidental death of the both the wife and her lover also as evidence of a sinister causal link between them although any evidence of that is so far lacking. If I had been on this man's jury, I would've stuck with a verdict of NOT Guilty On ALL Charges, even if it resulted in a hung jury. It wasn't the facts of the case that convicted this man but the Sob Story Soap Opera that came with those facts, especially designed for SUCKERS like You.

Well said. Only comment that makes sense. 👍

Exactly!!!

That part, in my opinion if your trained on guns, let alone in the military you know to take safety and precaution measures. It's hard to prove if people act fast like the husband did. I will never, never understand for the life of me why people just don't divorce. I get she will get half or more but guess what you won't spend the rest of your life in jail.

Yep!

We're "veterans," not "vets"; BIG difference in terms of dignity. Don't get lazy now. 😊😊😊

He was a veteran, the Dr was both but I agree. Failed 'gun safety' sounds convenient. He couldn't take what he was dishing out

@@LittleLouieLagazzaDon't judge people's use of language when you can't even spell "We're"

@@Scoay lol he/she edited it

My thoughts exactly.

Absolutely I was blown away by her attitude trying to get through all this 😢

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She’s a very strong woman.

I've never seen anyone LESS in denial. How refreshing.

They really don't "go off by themselves" or go off by being jostled, do they?

I need to keep that in mind

I literally was thinking this while watching. Here we go again…the gun just went off smh

​@@lifeofd.shuntayAnd they don't even touch the trigger 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not to mention the police never TESTED THE DANG GUN!!!! Not until years later.

By Dwayne

Well, Baldwins gun went off by itself, on that film set. Right? Dwayne had killed her. Period.

There are lots of other people that don’t deserve to be homeless

@@pumpkinfield100 Exactly, but people who have served our country and aren't taken care of is stomach-churning and mind-boggling.

​@@pumpkinfield100that is true. But we MUST prioritize Men and women who literally were fighting for you life and your families lives. And willing to die for YOU AND YOURS. Also, willing to give up their own life for all Americans and their brothers in arms. They deserve at the very LEAST TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO LIFE COMFORTABLY AND HAVE A HOME FOR ALL THEY DID FROM THIS COUNTRY. DRUG ADDICTS WITH NO JOBS, DEFINETLY SHOULD NOT BE PROIRITIZED BEFORE THESE MEN AND WOMEN.

US was never invaded in your history but you have biggest army in the world...🤣

@@KlaunFuhrer-du7fr Because we're smart and prepared; not waiting for a war to happen to prompt us to such measures, training and catching up. Use your head for something other than a hat rack, sis. It's something to actually be proud of!

It’s just good CGI effects 🤖

I don't know what you watch but all real crime channels I watch are amazing narratives humans not AI..

Oh I forget…. Everything revolves around you…. And if you didn’t see it, it didn’t happen…,

Oh no!!!!! You are a bot too?!!!!! Skynet has become self aware!!!!

⁠@@FullTimePatient37 To be honest I also thought most were AI narrated with the pronunciation level set to ‘retard’ but you say they are actual people.

lol or even mopes around and wants to “close” the marriage whenever their wife finds someone to be “open” with and they weren’t expecting that.

If they were both being open ,definitely a recipe for disaster,

Nicely said.

I know some friends in their 50s who have been together since they were teenagers. They have an open marriage, and are very devoted to each other.

Doesn’t mean he doesn’t love her. Means he doesn’t want to have sex with her for whatever reason.

I believe they thought Dwayne as one of them since he was a reserve cop next county.

Yes, they were purposely incompetent

Malicious or incompetent. Somebody in oversight authority needs to lose a job

They competently helped him get off

Both lazy and incompetent. Just like they botched Kurt Cobain’s suspicious death.

She handled the whole situation pretty calmly eh. Her interview was just so matter-of-fact. Wonder how much that has to do with being a surgeon and being able to keep a cool head in those situations

@@JustThoughtLounge Probably a lot. Always a treat to get a reply from you!!

Thanks for the heart! Here's one for you, too... 💖

I think there was an affair. I think her husband had affairs because she says she didn't think it was an affair that could be a threat. This comes off to mean he had an affair, but he always came home.

And she was seeking the truth and exposing a potential affair, even if that would show she had motive. This could have put her under the microscope, but she still wanted her husband's death to actually be investigated.

And on the stand as well.

So, he was ex-military AND a reserve sheriff's deputy in Lincoln County which borders Spokane County. The suspect was a fellow Sheriff, and I think that just would make any police officer trust what the husband was saying. Why oh WHY wouldn't they at least take the couples' phones and go through them? The daughter of the dead wife was immediately suspicious and saying that at the scene. This was botched, by the Sheriff, the Prosecutor....it's sad. So sad that two wonderful people were lost and this guy got away with it.

Yes, they were guilty of investigative malpractice. They are supposed to be trained to be professional at all times and not let their emotions interfere with their duty. Their “professional courtesy “ was wrong and worse it was criminal. They should be punished for unprofessional conduct and fired. Not to have checked the ipad was the height of malfeasance. The family should sue them and the city. This man got away with at least 1 murder and, probably, 2.

Supposedly.

@@l.a.w.79na he killed her knowing the gun was loaded. That entire story of the Glock not ejecting is fabricated 100% Kids were grown and it was just them, get a divorce you moron. You ruined the kids life and others just because you are insecure in your manhood and chose to not get a divorce. What a clown!!🤡🤡

​@juicymullet585 your profile picccc!! 😂😂😂😂 why, ma'am? 😂😂😂😂

Mistakes can still happen. How many butchers have cut off their own fingers despite working with knives for years and knowing the dangers? Likewise with builders using circular saws and whatnot. And would an "expert with guns" own a novelty Glock like that? It looks hideous.

That's what I was thinking.

True.But if the doctor's phone was still working and the police MUST have searched it for some chat and or phone calls between the two deseased persons.Also the phone of the dead lady must have been searched . I am sure they did and coundn't find any evidence of a relationship between the two.

@@selcukcilek555 I think it was said towards the end of the episode that the phones/laptops were not inspected, I could be wrong. That would definitely be the place to look though.

@@selcukcilek555 No.. neither the laptop that Brenda was supposedly using, or the phones were ever investigated.. they really botched this case, and just took the husband's word for it.. There is no way that this was an accident.. the gun was later found to be functioning properly.. so Dwayne lied about it malfunctioning.. which means it wasn't an accident and it didn't just go off.. and what are the odds that if it did accidentally go off, that it would hit Brenda right in the middle of her chest?? And why didn't investigators take Gabby's accusation that Dwayne killed her mom seriously?? Gabby stated that Dwayne waited to call 911, and was not making any effort to save Brenda.. I can't believe that they never tested the gun to even see if it was malfunctioning until AFTER the trial, when it was too late.. The investigators really failed Brenda and her family!!

@@Jkaye13 💯

I may have missed that part. Unless there was something to connect him to the doctor's death, police can't just seize his phone and test it. There's almost always more to it than we civilians know.

Wow, thanks for yr input. 🤗

I don't own one or fired one so I'm going to refer to your expertise. I 100% believe the husband intentionally killed Brenda (not being extra careful with a gun he stated wasn't working/not rendering CPR aid/having an affair, etc), I do wonder if perhaps bc the gun was a speciality gun that might be the reason it malfunctioned? From the pictures it was a Tiffany&Co gun so that would make it a speciality gun, no? Are those perhaps less reliable than the standard black and gray glocks? Also, please excuse my ignorance in advance. I truly know nothing about guns & find them terrifying.

Glock-favoring operator here; can confirm.

So, like almost every case like this, she was murdered by her husband!

​@@sharosmithPretty much.

So SHE and her boyfriend are dead.

real headscratcher? I wonder what happened?

Always.

Not sure how to put into words my admiration for you and Brenda. While I have never been in military service I have had my share of paternalism being the only female manager on factory floors (always for a fraction of the pay of my male counterparts despite having much higher, on quality, productivity and happy staff). I hope you are doing well with your current chosen in path in life. I salute you and your courage.

Met a guy with Valhalla tattooed on him and he told me where it came from..absolutely love it!! (Avid Vikings on History channel watcher)

@@thetravelgoods2760 I am Half Japanese but the other parts are Finlander, Dane & Swede. I was raised by my father who was also in the army 30 years that Valhalla is the Great Home in the Sky for all Warriors who die in battle. It is a very common expression among those of us who served in remembrance of the fallen. Til’ Valhalla my friend. Be safe until then. ❤️

Being the first or one of the first female snipers is an example of fake or co-opted feminism. Feminism is not about women being allowed to engage in all the evil activities of men but about not being viewed as second class citizens or less than and being free from oppression by men.

Til Valhalla.

Maybe he will confess at his death bed.

Coincidences do happen. I'm not saying that's the case here, though.

I normally don’t rush to judgement but I think they are related too. His comment about them being in an open marriage was probably a ruse to keep the focus from being that he killed both of them because of an affair. My guess is that he found out about the affair and killed them both.

Washington state police and local police have a long history of laziness and unwillingness to prosecute, or even investigate suspicious deaths.

​@@dave21286yes, he's allowed to have affairs, just not her

We spend a lot of time trying to find the right cases…sometimes feels like too much time. But always happy to hear that it’s appreciated 🙂

@@JustThoughtLounge Yes it is!

JTL always has the best cases. You ROCK Kevin

Couldn't have said it better myself I walk away every time thinking very good case makes you think it's entertaining but not in a bad way its always a great video every time thank u ❤

Just Thought Long.. and hard.

Exactly .mobile Phones were not checked too.

​@@sunilayya8948Are you freaking kidding me ???!!!!

Ditto that.

yep - no plausible excuse here even for an "accident"

Following.

Seemed absolutely ridiculous that these two firearms experts, would wait to clear the gun.

A 'stovepipe' malfunction is when the firearm fires the round in the chamber, and extracts said case from the chamber, but it fails to fully eject and is captured in the ejection port, holding the slide in a partially open (with case caught between the breach and barrel, sticking out of the firearm). Looks like a stovepipe (chimney) stick up and out of the firearm.

Been shooting for 45+ years and have NEVER seen anyone NOT clear such a thing.... Sometimes stuck projectiles from a squib [would wait] but never a stovepipe.... Drop magazine, point downrange, and work action a few times... I doubt many of these newer highly monitored ranges would even ALLOW you to take the gun back in such condition? If you can't clear it, they will stop and clear it for you. See it ALL THE TIME with people jamming up their AR's....

Yeah, you're totally right. Ex-military guy here, not a big gun guy, but own plenty, shoot and hunt throughout the year, the #1 safety rule is 'barrel orientation', never, ever, let the barrel of any firearm you are cleaning, using, handling, etc, cross thr path of another human being, it's thst easy, whether you have an accidental discharge, misfire, etc, you never have to worry about harming somebody, as you always have the barrel of the weapon pointed clearly away from another person. These accidental shooting cases always seem suspect to me as well. It's so easy to be safe with weapons.

Thanks!

Maybe the FBI should take over this case. Afrer all the victims had been members of the US defense forces. Something is very fishy with this case.

Exactly.

It definitely just goes off... But it's usually when a person is trying to cover up a murder....

He must have been their buddy or something, they cover for their own.

Seems suspicious to me that the law did everything they could to avoid investigation and prosecution..Then because of pressure from outside they prosecute only a second degree manslaughter, knowing that a murder rap off the table. This guy is connected

Yep!! Wonder what sort of verdict a bench trial would have rendered here.

Yup, that too a jury of 8 women! Really disappointing.

Glad you're enjoying the channel 🙂

Sorry Lisa 😉

Your detrimental remark that most RU-vid protagonists are unintelligent puts you high above most. And that is conceit.

In total agreement with you and your take.

they were both adulterers as it was made clear that they both had an open marriage where they dated other people, as confirmed by the daughter

@@wakeup6759 Thanks for the update 👍 She still 'rose' to the occasion for Justice 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thanks Kathi, that’s a very nice thought 🙂

Zzzzzz

@@Trustkillx Oh, is this your "son" spamming again? Funny that "he" knows exactly who to target. Remove it and all of your other spam comments. How sad that an adult succumbs to this, actually.

Dolt.

Thanks again Heather! You have a great week

Glad you found us as well! Welcome 🙂

Bingo!

Thanks for joining on the holiday weekend. Our Canadian Thanksgiving was back in October so no holiday for me this weekend unfortunately 🙂

​@@JustThoughtLounge That's right, I forgot you're Canadian, oops! 😅 But I didn't realize Canada has a Thanksgiving, how cool! Well I'm happy you're doing well anyway 😉🙃

Al calm down bot

​@@JustThoughtLoungeawnman rhat suxks .. where uku from mismoka ???

Im glad he dodne go to jail whar w fuxk

StayAwake uploaded today, which is usually a good watch, although I hadn't watched it yet today. DireTrip uploaded as well, and he has a pretty decent channel. Today's video looks like one I've already heard before though. Frasier (old TV series) always seems to hit the spot, too!

Exactly.

Really? I don't recall hearing of any sort of long list of those occurrences.

How many rights of woman need to be taken away before ya get what the deal is in a patriarchy?

When it's this sloppy you can bet Law Enforcement are involved in the cover up

Happens all the time.

Lots of people would.Over the years I have given a gun to 2 of my kids for Christmas and just last birthday l gave a S&W .38 revolver to my wife.Gun safety was something that was taught to me by my Pops and was something that was taught to my kids by myself and my Pops.A gun is a tool just like a hammer, the only time it kills is when the user has bad intentions.

Bruhhh tf you on about?

I said that! I'm from England & if I said to my gf's I gotta gun for my birthday they'd be walking backwards away from me 😅

@@fatmanjones5359 What on earth is going on with yr family! Guns kill and should not be available easilly. Europe has more than dbl the population of the US and yet only a fifth of crime. Why? Because guns are so well regulated that even some of our police forces do not carry them! In 2021 the US had more than 600 mass shootings alone. You should be out on the streets demanding strict regulations.

Yep.

Thanks Dawn! Hope you start feeling better and have a great week 🙂👍🏻
