Topic : 07/28 A Husband's Shocking Confessions

I watched all three shows and after reading further information on the show that it first aired last year in November. I write because I am concerned as to what has happened to the two of them. I am from Iowa and have lived here all of my life. And to be honest, it chilled me to the core when I saw the show flash signs of I-35 South. I realize that the interstate starts North of Iowa and goes South of Iowa, but I just had this eerily feeling. And my feeling was confirmed when Dr. Phil mentioned working with the Iowa State Patrol (which I happen to know several of the patrolmen!)

If I were Michelle, I would be fearful for my life. Regardless if she believes that he would "never hurt her because he loves her". That is bull, as many women out there know. Especially ones that have been in abusive relationships, all those men loved all those women too, right? Not to mention, she needs to think about the safety of her children! I would never allow a man that admitted to me that he was a serial killer and rapist in my home, near myself or my children. That just seems very bizarre to me!

I hope that for Michelle's sake that since this has happened that she has received some sort of treatement with all of the stress and fears that were put into her life and the lives of her children. And I also hope that Wade is sitting in my some mental institution or rotting away in prison!

I have been in a similar situation as Michelle and either she is a bad actress portraying Michelle or she is also a big liar.  Through out the whole 3 nights, she has produced the fakest whimpers and whines with the ability to shut them off instantly.  Having had a father and husband with the same type of anger problems and a mother who is truly a sociopath, I know for a fact that you do not 'embarrass'  the kind of man Wade is in public.  The silence, lack of visual contact, flaring of nostrils, holding breath to 'try to maintain temper' is something you don't mess with, unless you do not want to be walking once you get out of the public and alone with this person.

Both parents (highly educated, honored professionals, very wealthy) were able to hide their true personality, yet both tried to kill me on several occasions, same with my former husband.  I thank the  Lord I received very good psychiatric care, but things from my past will never completely leave me.  Because I took my husband to court for criminal and civil reasons, I was black balled in the town that I still live in, by the legal and law enforcement agencies.  He walked away.  When I went to them about his involvement in the very sad and yet unsolved murder of  a native girl visiting UAF, I was again labeled a trouble maker, even though I had knowledge that was never released to anyone outside of the immediate investigating teams.  I was a woman scorned out to do anything to get him back.  Not true, but I also have all my teeth broken and a closed brain injury to prove the State Troopers wanted me to shut up about him, the murder, the illegal court proceedings and more.  Small town mentality.

Michelle is involved, lying, or an accomplice with Wade.  She would know better than to publicly accuse him or embarrass him.  There may be rebuttal about my comments on her fake whining and attempts to act afraid, but it is so very obvious to many that I know, that she is not genuine in her fear, tears, or in stating they had a happy marriage until three weeks prior to going on the Dr. Phil Show.  There is definitely something that she is hiding and does not have genuine fear or sadness, despite everyone expressing these emotions in different manners.  If she were truly distresses over learning of her husband having sex, there would have been real tears, not a mousy pretend whimper.  The same situation appears when she claims to be afraid of Wade.

There is definitely something she needs to open up and get off her chest, along with Wade.

I would like to know why we never hear the conclusion of this horrific tail and if there ever was anyone killed or if this was a cry for help, a way of being a tough guy, or some other ploy on Wades part.  I would hope that Dr. Phil would understand the concern that came to many viewers, that there is a confessed murderer possibly walking around a free man, or there was proof found in one manner or other so the public could have some closure to this episode.

I agree with the last few messages as well...

Michelle's emotions did not seem to fit the situation she was facing in any of the three part series.  Every time the camera would do a close-up on her face to show her emotion, her reaction was blank and seemed almost bored.  I hope I'm wrong, but I actually think this story maybe a hoax entirely and/or be actors portraying a real-life couple. If the case is the latter, then the acting was poor to say the least.  Even the most shy and emotionally withdrawn person would be emoting a little more than Michelle, I think.

I also believe that if this is a true story and not a hoax that there is something wrong with Michelle.  Either way she needs to leave Wade. If he did kill someone, she needs to leave him for the safety of her kids at the very least . And if he's lying about that, then there's something seriously wrong with him and she should leave him for that reason. At the very least - the polygraph proved that he was lying about sleeping with atleast one other woman and that for me would be grounds for a divorce - no question about it!

This story just didn't make sense to me.  What guy in his right mind admits to such horrible crimes on national tv?  And what woman, after having her husband admit such things, would actually lift her the restraining order against him to appear on stage with him?  Like I said...something seems wrong and doesn't quite make sense to me. 

I actually found myself siding with Wade in series part#3 when he was arguing with the FBI agent.  I mean - who wouldn't be a little angry about his wife manipulating him and playing "rape games" with him to get him to confess? I thought his anger and reaction seemed perfectly normal and just. I'm not defending the guy, but I didn't think that his rage was that out of context or unwarranted as Dr. Phil made it seem when he commented something like "is this what it looks like when your rage gets out of control".  And what FBI agent would instruct this wife to stay in the home with a potential serial killer and serial rapist just to question him and get information and a confession out of him? That didn't make sense to me either. If they have the childrens' best interest at heart (Michelle and the FBI agent) then she should have been out of there asap! She commented that she couldn't leave him b/c she had no place to go...come on! You're telling me that the Dr. Phil show with all of it's resources and money couldn't have gotten her a safe house or hotel room for her and her kids until some of what Wade confessed was proven and he was in jail??? Dr. Phil even offered her safe house, if I recall correctly, when he was on the phone with her!

Like I said -- something about the wife and FBI agent didn't make sense. They should have investigated to find evidence of his crimes and if/when they found something arrested him so she and the kids would be safe. If they didn't find anything then I might have reason to believe Wade was lying AGAIN just to get attention. I honestly think that that is the case anyway.  I think he lies to get attention and goodness knows the Dr. Phil show and Michelle played right into his hands on that one.

All in all...a real disappointment!
