Wife's "Separate Naps" with Friend Precede Husband's Crowbar Homicide | David Harmon Case Analysis 

I would ask more about their marriage but I don’t want to pry.

I never understand why people think it’s easier to murder their spouse rather than get a divorce.

"Probably because they suffered from a non-existence problem'' That's the nicest way I've ever heard a damn liar being called... You gave a good chuckle! Thank You, Dr. Grande

"At worst it's David falling down the steps" At best, he's just being bludgeoned to death.

Melinda was a family friend of mine growing up. She was pretty much an aunt to me. Her husband is my mother’s boss currently. She has all the attributes of a sociopath. Overly smiley, bubbly and upbeat to the point of being creepy. She was involved in this murder and shows no signs of guilt or shame. When she was released and resumed her friendship with my parents there was no apology or attempt at reconciliation. My family has forgiven her because she was “young then” and “has made peace with the lord”. I am alone in my feelings of disgust and am moved to tears when I think about my mom handing me the phone to talk to Melinda while she was in prison. I stopped going to the dentist office that her husband owns and maintain that she is an absolute monster. What a shame what the Nazarene church can produce and how lackluster our judicial system is when it comes to horrible crimes such as these. Every year my family visits the Raischs 1+ million dollar home for their annual New Year’s party while I am told that I need to forgive and get over it. What an absolute shame. Her and Mark Mangelsdorf deserve to rot in prison.

.."Now if she said she was very very very very sorry, I may have believed her." 😂 laughed so hard at this point. Great analysis, as always!! Your channel is by far my fav channel on RU-vid ❤

I knew David Harmon's parents because i started attending the same church after David left for college. He was their only child and was their pride and joy. This crushed them. They always suspected Melinda. She couldn't look them in the eye and avoided them at the funeral. His mother died before the trial but his father went to it.

Sexual tension has bad consequences often, esp with narcissists & cheaters. What a terrible murder. Great points again. Thanks Dr G😊🧡🧡

I'm confused. I've always been told that naps are healthy, and that crowbars are useful household tools.

A very serious subject...then I burst out laughing when you pointed out several sexual aspects of the murder and quoted the neighbor's description as hearing the sound of a "repeated smacking of meat". I love your dark humor!

I'm from the area. Those people got away with pre-meditated murder.

Their Sentences were a slap on the wrist!

Was surprised that they went their separate ways after Mark busted their marriage apart. It would be awkward sleeping next to someone capable of brutally killing you while you sleep, so then in the end I suppose that they just kept on with those separate naps.

3:55 I live for these little dry jokes.

The grass is never greener. Be happy with what you have. 😊 thanks Doc.

Dr. Grande, I don't know who gives them out, but you have to win the snarky deadpan award. Very very VERY very.

Every cheater always uses the “just friends” line. I remember one episode of cheaters when a guy was caught kissing his mistress. The mistress showed the wife notes addressed to a “vanilla sugar honey bear”. He still insisted the mistress was a “friend”

What an injustice. Only 5 years sentence to brutally murdering another human.

It's hard to take the U.S. system of justice seriously considering the light sentences these two received for committing premeditated murder..

Between the saints and the sinners Dr. Grande shines with another great analysis of another complex cold case ❤️👍

They spent such a short time in prison, considering the barbarity of the murder. 😒

This is ridiculous this Plea bargain Justice. Murder is murder and they both should have got 30 to life for it.

I can’t believe the short sentences for such a brutal murder!

I believe Melinda experienced schadenfreude, that is, pleasure, joy and self-satisfaction from the troubles, failures and humiliation of others. She set that pattern early on in life as you described her being a tattletale even over the smallest most inane of infractions and carried that behavior into adulthood e.g. outing the dean over an alleged affair he was having. She seemingly continued with that pattern enjoying taunting and watching Mark suffer with his lust for her. I also imagine Melinda enjoyed seeing her husband suffer for gluttony?? (in her eyes) by being beat to death with a crowbar. All the while, she smiles in her pictures like a little innocent princess.

I've seen a couple of crime docs about this. What's really bizarre, is after the husband was killed, the two lovers -for whatever they were - never spoke to each other again.

This was a depressing story since the husband didn’t get justice 🙏🏾

This is my very, very, very, very favorite channel!

How do you forget that you originally told the police that two black men did it?

Omg!!!! I remember this case. So cold and so heartless. It sends chills up my spine.

I'm so sorry for David, and his Family. 💔🥀💔🥀🕊️🙏🕊️🙏. Law Enforcement goes through nightmares!🙏🙏🙏🙏

It’s still so astounding that people can be so selfish and callous.

Lives ruined for nothing; thanks, as always, Dr. Grande, for another interesting video.

The classic two Black men did it story. Pure americana

I very very much enjoy your take and subtle humor. I'm very very very sure others will agree.

They had the right connections to get parole so easily.

Dr. Grande really pried into this case

Sometimes the justice system is a shameful joke. That was premeditated murder.

crowbar homicides are some of the worst. Right there with machete homicides, sledge hammer homicides and baseball bat homicides.

As a retired investigator, I can tell you this, a spouse witnesses the murder of the other spouse but leaves you, a witness, alive... you just became a suspect.

"Over time, David gained quite a bit of weight" lmao that took me by surprise ngl. Dr. Grande, your dry humour never fails to make me laugh.

1.35 million subscribers! Congrats, Dr. Grande!

It's always "two black men wearing masks".

I’d like to see the doctor’s opinion of Neil Breen, the architect who dabbled in real estate for a while but is mostly passionate about making movies: he’s writer, director, producer, and lead actor, plus does most other things. He has a distinctive style of speech and that shows up in his scripts and in how he directs his actors.

A lot of CEOs are psychopaths but most don’t go on to commit murder.

this murder happened in my neck of the woods. their lover why is it that these people that kill a spouse, or both spouses, never end up with their lover that they killed for? this has happened in more than a few cases.

I wonder if there was Life insurance collected.

Why do people insist in screwing up their lives? Just get divorced. No need for jail cells and shackles and having someone named Bruno take a liking to you as you learn he's your new cellmate.

They felt the need to kill the guy to have a fling? 🤯🤮

Ahhh. Those two black guys in masks. Those two are everywhere. Very busy guys.

Thank you very much for covering the Harmon murder. I heard about this years ago when the perpetrators were arrested and then pled guilty, and I have since watched several true crime episodes that documented the case. But you've offered a unique perspective, Dr Grande, that makes this video well worth watching. I appreciate the time and effort you spent on this, and look forward to watching more of your content.

I was raised in a Church of the Nazarene. It was hell.

The pace and quality of your content is impressive. Will you ever take a day off sir?

Damn, Melinda was quite the tattletale!

Both Mark and Melinda were living comfortable lies for 20 years. I’m sure they were looking over their shoulders but they were both successful and productive. Imagine their spouses and children when they found out that their father/husband and mother/wife were implicated in a murder from two decades prior.

I came here seeking forward thinking legal tactics but learned that a "crowbar assisted divorce" is in fact....not an actual divorce

Todays question is: The heck is a "seperate" nap?

I've watched so many of these types of videos I would never speak with police w/o an attorney present!

Thank you for another interesting analysis, Dr. Grande. ❤ The world and people are unpredictable and we appreciate your pov in helping sort it all out one story at a time.❤

The guy at the hardware store gave a poor recommendation. Most spouse killers go for an axe or a stay-sharp knife. They usually get a couple of bottles of bleach too.

Hey Dr Grande!! Check out the chiropractor in Bonners Ferry, Idaho who shot the other town chiropractor through his office window. Bonners Ferry being in the extreme Idaho Panhandle.

She ❤'d snitching so much she snitched on herself.

The sexual innuendo section was hilarious!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you want to get away with a crime----never ever talk to the police.

The Susan Smith defense, the black men it never works

So are they both still remarried? Did he get to keep his millions?

Another great analysis Dr. Grande!

Excellent video 📹 THE COLLOQUIAL 'BLACK MEN'

Those separate naps are simply home wreckers. Everyone knows that.

Worst case it was David falling down the stairs LOL

I'd love to ask these people who murder their spouse so they can be "free", "Was it worth it?" as they lose everything and languish in prison for the rest of their life.

"the maimed or dying part" Lol. Dr. Grande does it again.

Another informative video. Your humor is always appreciated. Thank you.

The dumb things people do because of sex

"I guess they were tired of all the anti-skunk sentiment...it just didn't smell right to them" These are the comments that I come here for! 🤣 Thanks Dr. Grande! I love your videos!

The sentences were too lenient and the parole board had no business letting them out so early!!

I can’t believe you named this video crowbar assisted divorce. Lol wild af

This case has fascinated me for years. Thanks for covering it.

The skunk joke made me LOL!!

People are strange and some are stranger than others...

Poor David probably gained a lot of weight in depression realizing his wife and fried she intoduced him to wanted her. Being nicey-nice Christians no one spoke the truth but it was there and they all felt it.

The good doctor sure has it right when he surmised that the smacking of meat sound has a sexual connotation! Gotta love his sense of humor!

Love you Dr grande

When a mugshot is the introduction to the love interest of the suspect, you know nothing good will happen. 😎

10 yrs. for murder? 9 yrs. for being involved? They got off easy considering there are people doing life for murdering one person.

Oh my gosh, you slay me with your dark humor Dr. Grande

I'm interested in seeing you cover the Barnes Road arson case in Portland Oregon. I'm curious what your thoughts are.

I'm surprised the murder wasn't solved when it happened , bad detective work. Who sleeps when their husband is getting bludgeon to death 2 ft away in the same bed.? Makes zero sense.

Separate naps? Euphemism!

Thank you for pronouncing Olathe correctly.

I swear to God Dr G, you are so funny! It sounded like someone repeatedly smacking meat. That's the funniest #$%@ I have ever heard in my entire life! 😂😅😂😅😂😅

The initial investigators could have had Linda twisted in knots if they had made an effort in the initial investigation. Terrible police work as usual.

This is the first time that I've heard of someone being offered a plea bargain AFTER a jury convicts them.

I too only accept quadruple-sorry apologies as valid.

That side eye gets me every time lol.

Love the perfect grammar of the two assailants.

These triangle relationships end badly. Every one is a bad ending

That was very, very, very, very interesting

Doctor Grande, can you do a video on the escaped convict on the loose in Chester County?

i love this guys dry humor. new Favorite youtuber

They should have been “barred” from ever marrying.
