  • The Disturbing Story of Melinda Pleskovic
    It began like a plot from a horror film, with masked men peering through the windows of an ordinary suburban house and the chilling sound of door handles being turned in the night. Then, right on script, the strange occurrences that terrorised a Strongsville family from 2016 to 2017 culminated with a horrific stabbing murder in the kitchen of the family home - and a twist so shocking not even those closest to the family believed it to be true.

    Out of all the 911 call snippets I have ever listened to, the operator in the beginning is the most empathic one I've heard so far.

      @@charlisays I agree...
      The 2nd 911 Dispatcher, the one to speak with Bruce, did NOT seem empathetic. Not at all. Not even a lil compassionate or even sympathetic..
      I understand they have to distance themselves, but its commonly known in the Healthcare field that 'they don't care how much you know until they know how much you care' .
      I'm an RN and we have empathy, sympathy, compassion, rapport, therapeutic communication, etc... all shoved down our throats the entire time we're in school.
      I used to be an EMT and it was the same thing - the best way to avoid a lawsuit is to be kind and, if it doesn't come naturally to you, then you must create
      a decent bed side manner.
      IMO, if a medical professional has that much trouble relating to the patient or their family, if they can not seem to muster up even the minimal compassion necessary to be in that field, then he or she has no business there and should find another job.

      But I have some questions. .
      Why didn't Bruce or Mel see red flags when Jeff was easily angered? Sent random texts? Casually texted about jacking off?
      Why did they allow such an angry person to live in their home?
      Why couldn't Bruce complete even one sentence during his interrogation? I understand he didn't do it and that he was prob in shock, but usually the interrogator will try to calm down the person acting this way. It's best to understand what they are trying to say (especially for a legal investgation). So why didn't the interrogator at least TRY to redirect Bruce or Jeff when they went off on nonsensical tangents?
      Idk, I try to put myself in the others shoes so that I may look at the situation from their eyes but in this case,, I'm struggling.
      And that says alot for me! Over and 9ver again, maybe hundreds of times throughout my life, I've been told I'm the most Empathetic, Compassionate, Considerate, Non-judgmental person that most ppl have ever met. But I admit I'm having some difficulty here.
      I'm not judging Bruce here, but I guess I am judging Jeff and the investigators.

      I’m not sure if I’m alone on this.. but, I’ve never read two people more wrong than I did Jeff/Bruce immediately after hearing their contrasting 911 calls back-to-back. Jeff seemed shaken up, cooperative, and genuine.. Bruce seemed performative, uncooperative/combative, and genuinely shady as hell calling 911 TWICE simply to bitch out the operator about local law enforcement, while totally disinterested in the active emergency response or at attempting potentially lifesaving CPR. This was definitely a reality gut check!

      @@LiveFreeOrDie2A same here. I hadn't heard this case before hearing the 911 call and the only clue I had that it was Jeff was that his pic looked like a mugshot. I thought Bruce sounded off too and that Jeff was genuinely in panic and trying to save Melinda. This is proof that every individual reacts different and we can't judge a book by its cover. Some people will be numbed by calmness when in big stress situations and some people will fake distress and act the part very well.

The way Jeff mistreated this kid the whole time he knew him just infuriates me to no end! In one of his interrogations he says Kyle never listened to him and he always had to just grab Kyle by the neck and make him do what he said. What a piece of sh*t!

      It's literally a physical brain disorder and unless they are nurtured away from their instincts on a daily basis then they, and we, are doomed to live them out and you don't need to abuse a clinical sociopath to cause them to live out their instincts.

      It's funny, when I first heard the 911 calls it was from a different YT channel and they did not tell you who was guilty out right...actually, they made it seem as if the "people harassing" them did it. So, when I heard the son in laws 911 call it sounded sorta legit but when I heard the husband I thought he sounded like the guilty one (obviously know different now). He sounded devoid of emotion except anger (which could have been feigned), while angry, he also seemed calm and collected and what was the biggest "tell" (false tell) - he was building an alibi from the first moments of the call (talking about the so called harassment and blaming the police, that they dropped the ball, etc.)...not to mention not trying CPR...in my experience, all USUALLY good indicators of the callers guilt.
      Now, if I knew from the onset that he was innocent, I am sure the call would have sounded much different, likewise, if you didn't know his guilt or innocent, perhaps his 911 call would have raised red flags (whether warranted or not). I know I am wrong now, but he did not sound like an innocent suffering man in that call (sorry Bruce).

I was thinking why did he not say that to dispatch.
      Last what struck me as “off” I would NOT be standing in the yard with my baby when there is a killer on the loose! You go to a trusted neighbor, get in the car with your child and leave the area, something anything but stand there out in the open where this crazy person could kill me and my baby! Well he is the killer so he did not need to go to a trusted neighbor he knew right where the killer was! So sick that Simone can be capable of something like this.

    At first, I was in disbelief at how Mel's husband, Bruce, reacted.
    How can this man, whose just seen his wife's murdered body go on complaining about the lack of security and help from the police department?
    Then I read 2 replies from Ncoker 7 and Old Man doing High Kicks in Black Socks.
    It gave me pause to self reflect on my behavior when trauma has hit me and/or my family and the reactions I've gotten from others - especially being a woman.
    I realized that Bruce is a person who sets aside his grief, horror, and anger to take care of what needs to be done and to make sure that everyone else is ok. Then can he finally deal with is emotions. I am the same way.
    God bless this family, help them to heal and celebrate the life they had with their mother and wife.

      It's a myth that people with down's don't understand death - they absolutely do. But what we do see is a very delayed reaction to death, sometimes it may be 6 months later and sometimes it may be 6 years later. And they will experience it all very vividly in that moment of onset grief and often outsiders will assume the loss was very recent due to how vividly that person is experiencing the loss. So Kyle will be aware but that connection between cognitive knowledge and acceptance takes much longer than in a neurotypical person.

    She's getting a bit of a guilty pleasure out of relaying all of the facts surrounding Mel's murder right to Jeff's face. You can see her aggressive smile as she relays it all right to him. Then she instantly switches to judge mode for the actual sentence itself.
    It's fascinating because her enthusiastic attitude towards laying into Jeff would probably be considered sadistic if it weren't for the fact that he was a murderer. So, for those sick individuals out there who enjoy causing pain to others for no reason other than personal power or control, it seems like there are people out there who enjoy causing pain to others because of the disgusting actions that those individuals have taken.
    It's like a Yin and Yang or a balance of nature. There are people so enthusiastic about doing GOOD that they'll put on a smile while reminding criminals of all of the hurt that they've caused.

The brain is crazy the things it will do to protect you when in shock, clearly during the moment it kind of blanked the fact his wife was murdered horribly and focus on the harassment they'd been victims of. Really interesting to see, though equally heartbreaking. Thoughts and prayers go to the dad and his family, so sad.

      I’m embarrassed to admit that I also thought her husband was guilty after hearing his 911 call- and even the details about him going in and out of the crime scene. It’s indeed an important reminder that there is no single, expected, or “right way” to behave in traumatic situations. Reminds me of when everyone jumped on Amanda Knox’s behaviour at that crime scene and refused to believe she was innocent EVEN THOUGH there was not a speck of her dna anywhere on or near the crime scene. People couldn’t move past their “gut instincts” about her in spite of undeniable evidence proving her innocence. Anyway, years later and here I am thinking this poor husband actually committed his soulmate’s horrific murder -because he didn’t act “the way I would have acted”. A reminder to always wait for the facts, and the evidence.

He had been provided with every opportunity to be a good husband, father, and son-in-law, but he destroyed all of it. In the process, he destroyed the people who so graciously supported him, and the ripple he caused will continue to stretch far and wide.
    I will never understand how someone could so easily look past that.. to not see the opportunity to have an amazing and fulfilling life.

    Watching the husbands interview is so interesting yet so damn sad. Everything is being pieced together the more he talks yet he's still completely shocked that all this happened. I've never watched an interview like this where he never once sheds a tear yet you know for a fact that he's completely innocent. What a sad state of affairs.

    It is absolutely unbelievable that actual people can plot to kill someone, then go through with it. I cannot fathom it, especially the crippling guilt and worry you'd feel living with such a horrible secret. And yet there's story after story after story.

      @WonderWhatHappened Před rokem +48

      I don't know for sure but I believe he took an Alford Plea to avoid the death penalty and to forgo a trial. Which just admitting that there is overwhelming evidence that he committed crime but not admitting to actually killing her. Having done that, he's giving a life sentence ( In Ohio he serves 30 years and then can go in front of parole board who can release him but more than likely won't . But it's still possible.) The other three years were added to the sentence so he will actually serve 33 years and then face a parole board. You can bet that anyone that is involved will be there pleading them not to let him out.

      With parole doesn't mean the parole board will ever grant it to him. You can guarantee the family will make numerous letters and appeals that will lead to never being let out. I think the sentence was great, especially if you are into true crime you know of TRULY horrid sentences.

    • @deftones8717
      @deftones8717 Před rokem +48

      Agreed… I’ve heard wayy too many 911 recordings where the dispatchers have zero compassion and they take it personal when the callers are in distress and crying and/or screaming or whatever, and rather than empathizing and realizing that the caller is just in a really crazy situation and is emotional, they act insulted and frustrated and start copping an attitude.. if you are sensitive and have thin skin and get triggered easily, you probably shouldn’t get into such a hectic position that requires that you keep your composure and remain professional .. but yeah, there are some realllllly messed up 911 calls out there that made my blood boil. This woman was amazing though 🤟🏻even though it turned out that she was being kind to the actual perpetrator lol. The one time a sweet operator picks up, it’s the killer on the other end 😆

      There is something odd about that whole story though. I am not sure why his wife made that speech to never allow Jeff to walk the streets again - after what he did.
      She still had intended to marry this guy if this was never found out. Yet she speaks clearly about this guy calling him a boy - a liar etc.
      (All of which musteve been true prior to the murder aswell).
      I dont know - its just weird that she is convinced that he is a monster. But if he was never found guilty? I mean its a guy she intended to marry.
