GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
www.goodmorningamerica.com/
Why do I always feel like Nancy Grace is mad at me and yelling at me
Haha! Same girl!
NANCY GRACE IS A FUCKING JOKE THINKIN HER SHIT DOESNT STINK, LOOK AT LADY THAT WAS DROVE TO HER DEATH CAUSE OF THE BITCH
SYDNEY HI exactly!! That’s because she thinks she’s always right and treats others like they’re dirt under her feet
I like her ..☺️
Same tho
She was one of the most beautiful women, even when she got older. Natural beauty, no need for plastic surgery.
He didn't care about the surgury it was all a plan for murdering her.
Ikr i almost gasped every time they showed pics of her! Just gorgeous
She was a natural beauty....so gorgeous
So that makes her a good person? You shallow idiot
I don't see it.. but yes a good heart
Why do men still have affairs no matter how beautiful their wives are?????
Because they want to act out all the things they see in porn. He found a woman who was willing to demean herself in such a manner and it wasn’t his wife. Just take a look at his mistress, she can’t even hold a candle to his beautiful wife.
They get tired of the same old THING.. These men would be better of never marrying..
Has nothing to do with looks, they are just idiots!
Jackie Bennett, new, different, strange! Lol
Lust of the flesh.
I am a nurse and I worked indirectly with Martin NcNiell, he always seemed like he was hiding who he really was. He was very arrogant and treated staff like garbage. What he did does not surprise me at all.
Wow😱😱😱
I totally believe it ...
He looks EXACTLY as you described 2yrs ago. It’s all over his face.
Wow
It would be interesting to know what his childhood was like
@@princeofdarknessxyz1 I read that Martin's younger brother Roy also died under strange circumstances in a bathtub and that a girl he dated said he killed his brother.
This "Doctor" Martin had one biological son, Damien, who committed suicide in 2010 - it was reported that this son had a very disturbing twitter account but I haven't looked that up on twitter so that's not verified. The one biological daughter is said to be bipolar but at least she testified against her father.
Honestly like this whole video can be done without Nancy Grace. She's literally only stating the obvious and looks like shes in the verge of tears.
Right?! She's always histrionic, obnoxious, and just...so damn extra.and dramatic. She is awful and I'm always so disappointed anytime I see she's featured in these videos. I truly can't stand her.
She is just awful. I can’t stand her either.
Avery Villegas why does everyone hate nancy so much 🤣 it makes me like her a lil more she cant help if shes over the top.
@@kimdelk1181 Right!! Lol haters
Her voice paired with judgement makes me sick
The whole idea that someone is BOTH a doctor and a lawyer should make you side eye anyway. Surprise! He was neither.
Lmao ikr either you spend 10 years becoming a doctor or 10years being a lawyer ...also you work too many long hard hours to work in both fields
I do know someone whose both, she went to med school at 40. LOL
@@natz_dassit m0
Inhhu8
Lisa G I actually know someone with both.
My husband ask me to have a facelift, I'm leaving his ass! Take me as I am or nothing at all!
Stephanie Woodruff wth
You are a idiot
Stephanie Woodruff Good for you💜 Self love first
Stephanie Woodruff Definitely agree💖
Stephanie Woodruff my ex asked me once to get a penis enlargement I wasn’t big enough for her satisfaction I told her take this 4 inch or nothing at all she left me
I saw the title and immediately thought "who's the nanny going to kill"
Same 😂😂
Girl YES I clicked pulled picture close thought same Who, where is she & what she look like 🤣
Omgeeee me too!!! Lmfao
Me too!
Dang it i was expecting some murder here or missing case😂😭 👄
This woman was beyond beautiful. A timeless beauty.
A facelift?? Wtf. That woman was gorgeous, she looked amazing for any age. She didn't even need Botox, much less a full facelift. Her husband was good looking too, but man, what a psycho.
Celeste Jacobs BUT MAN WHAT A PSYCHO ???
AND HE GOT TIRED OF IT ,SHE LIVED IN HER WORLD OF BEAUTY ,BEAUTY IS NOT EVERYTHING WATCH THE VIDEOS
,SHE LIVE IN A BEAUTY BUBBLE AND HE GOT TIRED
@@analourdes2985 it looked like he wanted her to be that way. Persuading her to get cosmetic surgery. He was self absorbed as well.
@@analourdes2985 umm, I don't know what you're trying to say but it sounds like you're making an excuse for her husband killing her.
Celeste Jacobs WATCH FAMILY VIDEOS ,HE IS VERY PROTAGONIST AND SHE IS QUIETER ,SHE LIVED IN HER BUBBLE OF BEAUTY ,HE SHOULD NOT HAVE KILLED HER BUT HE GOT TIRED
EVERYTHING WAS FAKE IN HIM AND SHE
Lulu Leigh It COULD BE BUT I THINK SHE HAD LOW SELF -STEEM,SHE COULD DIVORCE BUT DECIDED TO STAY IN HELL AND PRETEND
This story was so sad. Thank God the daughters are loving and caring human beings and did not inherit the dad's psychotic tendencies and that they both did what they could to help their mom.
True psychos are really good at hiding who they really are.
@@montexan1405 The younger ones were adopted not the eldest. It even shows in this episode on hulu of their mother in the hospital with one of them after giving birth.
The eldest 4 children were their biological children. The younger 4 were adopted from the Ukraine. Their biological son, Damian, committed suicide in 2010 at the age of 23.
@@ksc743 I read that the youngest was adopted, but was actually their grandchild, and was a daughter of their daughter Vanessa. Also he was convicted of sexually abusing his daughter Alexis. There was a lot more to the story then we see here I think.
@@elsemieke7798correct on all counts.
The Perfect Nanny sounds like a Lifetime Movie title.
I thought it was!😆
Apparently it is being made into a lifetime movie
It's out now
This lady is beyond gorgeous... she looks like a soap opera from heart to heart..
She is gorgeous she needed no face lift whatsoever
Sumerianharp SHE THOUGHT HERSELF PRINCESS WAS IN HER OWN WORLD AND BEAUTY IS NOT EVERYTHING
You mean Nancy Grace, right? I know...I wanna do her too.
She should've left him BUT people like this guy suck you in so much and suck the life force out of you. They need a captured audience.Not captive but captured. and they need people to serve him. She probably knew she was trapped and had no identity and resources beyond them.
The facelift was part of the plot to murder her, it was not about her beauty.
@@tenfour10-400 hhh
The plastic surgeon should not have allowed this either...too many central nervous depressants at once and him insisting is kind of a red flag.
Shit was different back then. They've only started really caring about shit like this around 2010 and forward. It's why we have such a big problem with prescription pills and people selling them. Hell even in 2010 doctors were still handing out prescriptions like they were candy for Xanax and adderal and pain pills and all that shit.
He's another loser man who murdered his wife for a hoe. Like Chris Watts.
@Jordan Laycock You think all of them, really?
I mean it was a very different time, sometimes even now. Back then, if your husband told the doctor to do something, they did it.
*narcissism is STRONG with this one*
her children are a tribute to her parenting and love ... wonderful family
My mother worked with arrogant men like that at the hospital for over 20 years.... they truly believe they are above the rest of us and have a twisted sense of entitlement. They have no problem trying to intimidate or even threaten people who don’t fall in line.
Well apparently they like the timid type because I know people that if they'd have tried half the s*** these guys pull on them they would have been decked flat on their hind end in one punch. Because that's the old school way a lot of women didn't put up with s*** like that for the most part
She looked better at 21, hell even when older, than I do at 19! He was crazy
1:40 who looks that beautiful after giving birth!?!? I don’t even look that good on my best days when I TRY
Chloe Kit if it helps, I’ve heard that in the past that it wasn’t uncommon for women to have a makeup and hair stylist come to do them up for these baby photos. Some hospitals even had hair salons inside! The hospital I was born in did. No one looks that good after giving birth!!
She didn't have anyone do her hair/makeup. She was just a naturally beautiful woman.
mydogsioux Agree with you, she was absolutely naturally beautiful. But in that photo, her hair and makeup are very very done.
Aaaah sweetie don't say that 😂😂😂😂😂
Back then was a different time yes most used professional photos which wouldnt allow a bad photo. Also most women back in the day were used to giving birth and sometimes had 4 5 6 kids along with alot of people being healthier in general
Michelle was absolutely gorgeous. She deserved better.
I would have asked him to get a facelift as well. Would have headed straight to a attorneys office and filed for divorce.
You can get a lot of alimony if a man tells you to get a facelift, in my opinion, it's over instead of crying over his old ass I would head to the nearest power attorney...
@dododo baba @@
@dododo baba Mormons rarely divorce.
I would of asked him for a whole new face
Everyone keeps commenting about her looks, it's not everything. She was a person , with a personality feelings ideas etc. Your looks don't determine whether you deserve anything at all. It's so shallow to only see a human as their appearance .
Because it was relevant to the storyline.
Stop acting like you are in control of morally superiority lessons. 🤨
I remember doing her Hair in a Salon in the Central Valley.She was.genuinely humble and nice person.What a terrible tragedy!!
ABC, I SAID THIS BEFORE, STOP PUTTING PEOPLE ON THE CAMERA TALKING ABOUT PEOPLES LIVES AS IF THEY KNEW THE INDIVIDUALS...KEEP IT 100% PERSONAL" PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNEW THE VICTIMS
Yea I really hate that- like vergas acting like she knows everyone and has a history and then you realize she’s a reporter. Which happens often.
Exactly!
Nancy Grace fake ass LOL!
I want to hear from friends and co-workers too cause too often family lies to support their son or father...will say anything to back them.
I wonder why they do that. It might be people who know them but don't want to be on camera or they aren't articulate enough so they allow the reporter to speak for them? Idk but i will definatley do my research on that.
That’s it, I’m never getting married, it’s not worth it
This doesn’t happen to everyone. Although marriage is not for everyone. I hope That attitude will not just keep someone from marriage but from happiness
@@shanahaim5935 everyone has to clean. Even those with no kids. You just organise so you have free time. I'm single mother and I have enjoyed many weekends with my son. Be it theatre, sightseeing, day trips. We've even been abroad on many occasions. So, life is what you make it and it is certainly is not over if you marry , have kids etc.im sorry if this is how you feel.
We aren't all murderers, I promise. :) I've been divorced and I never stalked my ex-wife, never hit or brandished a weapon, never threatened her and wouldn't do that. In fact, despite my family and hers vilifying me, I defended her and we had as amicable a divorce as possible. Be cautious but don't put all men into the same boat this this guy. I sense you may be on the younger side (15-24) and haven't yet had a lot of experience. IF that is the case, don't let these shows scare you into thinking the world is a terrible place and that everyone is out to harm you. Don't date a man who doesn't respect you, isn't realistic, has standards and requests that are excessively high or unrealistic or that has cheated on someone in the past as an adult of 22 years old or older.
[Look, 15 year old boys aren't mature enough to be great boyfriends and usually cheat unintentionally because they honestly think the head cheerleader is a goddess or because another girl initiates sexual acts that he has never had/done, and the girlfriend doesn't. It only takes one blowjob to make a 15 y/o guy change his mind about who he's dating. This doesn't make it permissible but it is part of the "learning" process that leads you to adulthood. If you find a guy who admits he cheated in his teenage years, but hasn't as a mature adult, think of it like a juvenile offender who went to The Ranch via Dr. Phil's goons and learned his lesson. We are all kids at one time and we all make mistakes that convert to experience and life lessons.]
Marriage isn't worth it generally, for women.
But the kids do make it worth it. Kids give you such joy.
@@shanahaim5935 your life is over????
So sad that she thought a facelift will fix her marriage. She was worthy of someone who truly loved her 💔
He convinced her to get a facelift. She didn’t want one & was afraid of going under..
Sadd. Glad the girls stood up for their mom❤
Even if Nancy Grace says something that I agree with, I still roll my eyes
Ha!
Lol why??? Lol
YES!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same 🤣🤣🤣
She was absolutely gorgeous!!!! Inside and out!!
Michele was stunning.
She has GREAT HAIR! ❤️ RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY.
She wasn’t afraid of losing a husband, she was afraid of disintegrating her family. 🥺
Wow I felt that. 🥺
Completely negligent by the surgeon to prescribe all of those medications knowing they’re not supposed to be taken together. As a doctor you should have the integrity to say no even if you know her husband is a “doctor” as well
"She did not want to lose her husband", the best thing that could have happened to her.
He had the word "Narcissist" written all over him...so sorry for her...a narcissist is never satisfied, not matter what you do!
Every women victim of a homicide are always described as 'very beautiful' despite whatever their looks are, but this woman is actually so beautiful naturally. You'll understand if you're a binge watcher of crime documentary.
Like ted Bundy victims he had a type, certaim hair
True. More than half the time they aren't lookers at all. Lmao
Women , please have identities of your own outside of your husband and children. Good woman. Bad guy tricks good woman into thinking she isn't good enough. To add insult to injury, kills her, too. Tale as old as time. I wish these things would change but I know they won't.
Agree
@American Ajumma You don't have to educate me on the possibilities of dealing with an abuser. I lost a sister to the murderous intentions of her abusive husband in 2000. I have lost other more distant family members due to an abuser boyfriend that a cousin was dating when he decided to shoot everyone in the house, including himself.
However, I still say if we ladies love ourselves first, outside of the title of potential roles of wife and mommy, we can find ourselves letting these horrible men into our lives *less.* We all could see my brother-in-law was a piece of shit in the beginning, even I as a child of 12 could see it - why couldn't she? That's not an easy question to ask because it makes it seem like I am blaming my sister, but rather, I am trying to make sense of it. Huge reason is that she was taught a woman is nothing without a man and more or less any man would do. Then once she gets the man, she isn't anything unless she's a mother. He killed her when I was 22. I want my sister back, period, and if I could rewind time there are many things I would do differently , but more than anything I wish I could tell her how valuable she was and how she was more than enough and deserved better. Furthermore, abusers are not all the same. Some kill because they won't let the wife live without them if she tries to leave. That was my brother-in-lawand cousin's boyfriend. Others just want to be free of the wife and the marriage and the responsibility and kill when they feel like they will have to fulfill those responsibilities (like a Chris Watts). Either way, they all are monsters but abusers and family killers are not all the same as to their triggers.
@blazewrecker oh fuck off,your timing is terrible. Guys that feel the need to make comments like this in threads of women who have experienced abuse ARE A RED FLAG.
Agreed
Or we could just hold men to higher standards lmfao. We really blaming women for wanting to be moms and wives when they get murdered and abused smh. Part of the problem.
More often than not, the "taking care" of the appearance out of nowhere means there's a mistress around. Never let your guard down ladies.
The plastic surgeon should be in prison for allowing all those drugs
Nancy makes me feel like I’m in trouble every time i watch her 😩😂😂😂🤚🏽
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every time I see Nancy Grace, the thrill of watching a 20/20 episode will quickly fade away. Why do we even care about her opinions?
She was beautiful inside and out.
What a dream mom. She's beautiful and her children loved her.
Women please make sure you know your worth! This woman was absolutely stunning and she appeared to be an AMAZING mother. Unfortunately she married a man who didn't realize she was priceless.
She was incredibly beautiful inside and out. Bless the daughters.
Thats such a sad story. Gorgeous family, 80's, 90's and 2000's were such a good time to have an family. Se seems so kind and sweet. Gosh
The mother is beautiful! Some men just don’t deserve her.
Horrific case-Michele was an incredibly beautiful person, an extremely loving Mother. What her husband and mistress did to that entire family can never be forgotten. Evil comes in many forms. Unfortunately he was manipulating-and controlling -and attempted to ruin so many lives. I believe he’s also responsible for Damian’s death as well. Michele’s daughters are a testament to her love growing up. As the years go by-I hope they are able to continue to move forward.
No ABC am not falling for this again... somebody tell me if the last is available and then i will watch...
Joseph Gitari I would recommend getting their app. It has the whole episode but you'll have to put your cable email information
Hahahaha! I was thinking the same thing!
Yesss they are the worst about this...
Of course they didn't put the end of the story.. LOL.. since it had 5 parts of this story I thought maybe just maybe..no.. they didn't have the ending.. LOL
FuzzyLegs and only if your ISP supports ABC content
She's like my mother and my aunts. Genuinely beautiful and lovely in every way
I can’t take anything seriously when Nancy Grace is in it.
Xtina X I hate Nancy Grace
Me too she's such a nasty bitch
I have been binge watching the abc , and every body slags off Nancy
Xtina X same . It instantly becomes comedy to me
Prolly her eyebrows.lol
She's was a 10 and he's a 1 and he told her to do changes to herself? He needed a whole different face, and something else that money can't buy. Another soul.
Martin Macneil was my my physiology professor. A true narciccist and psychopath. I confronted him because he would insult us verbally. I filed a formal complaint with the department. May he rot in hell.
Beautiful I really love her kids so sweet ,✝️☮️
Nancy Grace reminds me of my son's drunken vice principal from middle school 😧
Oh and I am sure she punished him several different times. Go get em' Nancy Grace! 😎
Lmbooooooo
😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆
Didn't anticipate such a comment. Really cracked me up.
I Watched a documentary about this lady ! So sad!!! However this one is unbearable with Nancy grace
That mother was gorgeous
Beautiful Mom.. RIP Angel
My spouse did same thing......started tanning, wearing jewelry, working out, dressing better, wearing cologne, etc. Of course the NARC he is.......he also told me I was crazy and imagining things. If I had family or $$$......I'd had left long ago.
Black Panther I feel your pain, I always say once I win the lottery I will leave and I rarely play.
I wish my bf started working out and wearing cologne and took off with somebody else
I hope you get away
@@solarpony haha
@@solarpony 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
How beautiful she was❤️😭
In so sad for him belittling her into having a facelift. I loathe people who try to make me feel ill never feel good enough
I remember this story and I'm gonna watch it again
Quiet usually abuse.Been there the victims hide the pain,sleep well thinks it's their fault.Punishes by isolation.RIP beautiful see their Mom in her whole fam personality nd kindness❤
Christina Bakley it’s so so painful
She was so gorgeous rip this is horrible
She was perfect.
She was stunning 💫
The older sister keeps talking over the younger as if she's trying to keep her from saying something.
You're not wrong. I know this family( in a distant yet personal way) and the younger is in recovery and has many diagnoses of mental health issues. Shes a little erratic
Makeup Obsessed lol yeah and my aunty is the narrator lmaooo
Or a lot like her father?
She was absolutely beautiful!!! 🥺❤️
Just to clarify...while being prescribed several strong meds saying they were “never meant to be taken together” is completely false! They are taken concomitantly
all the time! Not typically these days but with plastic surgery especially these meds are essential for healing! Pain control, sleep and nausea control will create good and fast healing!
Why does the title say, “nanny?”
Meg Kat if you watch the whole show on dateline after he drugs and kill his wife he marries the young nanny a month later
@@cecute1 I read this before watching 🤦♀️😮
He killed her and moved in his mistress under the guise of nanny.
😕
She was beautiful that man was lucky to even speak to her
So if the neighbor helped him get her out the tub when he came, how was he giving her CPR like he said he was when he was talking to the 911 dispatcher?? Doesn't a person have to lay flat on the ground?
I watched this trial. Heartbreaking
I'll never understand why he felt he needed to kill her. So heartbreaking. Prayers for her family and kids.
Saludos cordiales paz bien verdad excelente información adelante!!
am I the only one who thinks they looked alike, especially at the beginning, I wouldn't have been surprised meeting them if they were brother and sister
I’ve heard it’ can be difficult being a Mormon mom. They are expected to look perfect, be perfect wife, perfect mom, perfect household and not show the difficulty of holding it all together.
And they disown their children if they decide not to practice the same religion.
Omg I'm called Eva Sommer and this story is so touching
Blessed be the shining ones
Why is this called "the perfect nanny" she never even tried to be a nanny by the sound of it. Edited- Oh it's called that because it was the first thing he said to his kids "I found the perfect nanny."
Cuz he moved his mistress in under the guise of being a nanny after murdering his wife.
It's called sarcasm.
@Julie Sprik Wasn't just sarcasm it's actually what he said to his older daughters "I've found the perfect nanny."
She was a great mom, a great person, if he didn't love her or was attracted to her anymore why punish your kids by taking her from them. You got rid of a beautiful human being for your selfish needs😓
I wonder why this is titled, "The Perfect Nanny"?
Because the Nanny is involved in her death.
Johnny Cat Painter .... where is that part ??
Donelda MacDonnell probably in other parts of show, I am familiar with the case. The Dad had I’d mistress move in as the Nanny after the mom died under suspicions circumstances
Johnny Cat Painter thanks now I can don’t have to watch and search for all the parts 🙏🏾🙏🏾
the father killed her wife to be with the nanny, the nanny doesnt even do anything.
Oh!! I've heard several podcasts about this case. It's wild!!
Her body did wonders after each birth her body was lit
Wow.. She s beautiful. Classic beauty.
The dangers of being co-dependant lie in our childhood. We are the perfect victims for those sickos.
I know its been said several times but can i say again she is beautiful!
what a beautiful and caring woman
OKAY CZcams, I'll watch it!!!!
She was beautiful and any man should have seen that and been like you don't need anything. That's a disgusting and manipulative man to tell a woman you need to change your appearance. She should've divorced him and married someone who loved her flaws no matter what.
He didn't care about her looks. He just pressured her to get a facelift so she could "accidentally" overdose on the meds they give tou after a facelift.
klutzycutie I wish that can really exist a man who can love the flaws of other ;(
But where they at tho ?
@@ummabdulrahmaan8827
They are out there, you just won't likely find them at bars and clubs. What I did was I married the dorky guy who cherishes me instead of the muscle head douch bag hottie. Dorks are where it's at, trust me!!!
@@julisann_4497
Date dorks. They are the best, you'll never regret it!
Omg omg omg she so beautiful . Her kids are.so beautiful and smart 🌼🌼🌼❤️
A toxic family is worse than a divorced one. Divorce is better for your children than what they learned from him.
As tragic and heartbreaking this case is. One of my favorite pieces about it is that they allowed him to finish his term for identity theft and allowed him to return home for a month or so. I guarantee he was so relieved to get out of prison, thinking that they have nothing to send him back since they released him and hadn't charged for murder in all that time. As someone who has been on the wrong side of the justice system many years ago. The day off release is like being born again, accept this time you can remember it. I guarantee he had a list a mile long of what he would do when released. The fact that the allowed that and then arrest again so close to release had to be absolutely spirit crushing. That's only to believe he had a spirit or feelings. He obviously a sociopath, so that might not be relevant. Truly a fine piece of satan's work here on Earth. Such scum words to describe him haven't been thought of. Hopefully he's enjoying the eternal fires of hell.
The surgeon is also culpable and should be held accountable ...you should defer to no one but protocol
Why do i always get sucked into these crime murder dramas?
Wow she was absolutely gorgeous
Michelle was such a beautiful woman and she didn’t need to change anything. So sad to see her end up with the wrong person. She was perfect the way she was, and she just ended up in a wrong relationship
That woman was beautiful! I wish she had never touched that face! Dammit, man! 🤦🏾♀️
what a beautiful person she is....
Why was Nancy Grace even a part of this? She wasn’t needed! She just took away from the story🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
