Honestly any animal being burned to death is terrible. But I absolutely agree that with pigs high intellect, it makes it worse :/

Poor creatures, too often treated badly, but this was horrific and so many of them. The panic must've been awful for them.

So tragic.@@margaretr5701

I agree. I feel terrible for those poor animals. There was no need for this elaborate ruse. It’s not like he was escaping a long prison sentence. So senseless.

​@@elizabethhamm5320I had missed the first couple minutes of the video but assumed he'd killed his family in the fire for whatever horrible reason. But as I listened on, I realized that he'd killed all these poor pigs for such an idiotic reason...it's just so bizarre and I think this guy had the potential to be REALLY DANGEROUS

That was my thought! The bar is in hell, it's got me thinking it ain't half bad

I don't think it would have taken all that much to push him over the edge.

Yes, that is something.

all that ham and bacon, wasted.

@@adotintheshark4848 That too! 🧡

It's the Paying for the divorce they don't want to do, especially if he was cheating...she would have took him to the cleaners. But still..I gotta agree with the total whack job part Lol

😭so cruel

Excellent point.

No one said they were competent

She had had no excuse not to see this coming.

That is what I was wondering. It kind of proves Dr. Grande's opinion of psychics, don't you think?

@@christinelee4780 funny how they never guess lottery numbers!

Yes they were. So tragic.

Do you eat pork?

Probably not one bit of those pigs even provided food for man or beast, on top of their needlessly miserable deaths.

Yes, A horrible death for the animals. Also says a lot about a person.

@@charliecc2043 Yes, but even guys who work in slaughter houses believe in a clean kill.

But, then, they didn't all die, did they?

He probably wasn't thinking of them at all.

He was a selfish coward

nah, he just didn't want to face his family.

Just an excuse to shirk responsibility

Are you kidding ? He didn’t want to pay alimony or child support. He couldn’t have cared any less about his wife and the kids…. At least he didn’t kill them, though.

Yes, and to kill animals in such a horrible way.

Imagine the pain he put those children through. That is a kind of pain that never goes away.

But serial monogamy is the accepted norm. "Cheating" has replaced "adultery", and is no longer a crime in most (if any) jurisdictions. Divorce is accepted, as is remarriage, with no limit to the number of times it can be done. All he really did was fail to file some paperwork to divorce each woman before he married the next. Oh, and tell each woman about his whole past, which is also not technically a crime. I think he's terrible, but not criminal, except for the pigs.

Same here. Arson and 70 counts of animal cruelty.

@@user-tm9qb2jk4o Plus being married to two wives at the same time and not helping out with his first two children at all, abandoning them

They probably looked after the kids sometimes or helped out.

Apples don't usually fall far from the tree

He's probably living in Vegas with a supermodel. Don't hate the playa

@@KingfishStevens-di9ji I guess he could be considered a model for the zipper-impaired.

Oh now THAT'S a clever thought 😂

Viewers should also keep in mind he does this through the 70s, 80s and in a way its the perfect time for this as most adults cam up when it was all paper documents but by the 1980s everyone in North America is trying to move to computer databases. It would not be unusual paperwork was lost for an adult his age but wasn't found on digital systems and there was still no automatic cross-checking of databases and even US/Canada crosschecking was decades away so that much more. From around 2000 onward he probably could not pull that off. Even a little courthouse in OKC can click some buttons from a desk and the computers do the work and the inconsistency, errors, 'two names' and ID etc would fire up.

@@jonathandewberry289And yet, identity theft remains rampant today, in spite of all of the technology.

The biggest assholes always have charisma to spare.

@@derkeheath5172 No shortage of desperate women either.

@@susanohnhaus611I disagree. Women now have more freedom and options more than anytime in human history and that is wonderful. Because of the financial freedom part.

@@derkeheath5172 I boyish charm, perhaps?

@@susanohnhaus611 It is hormones. A high level of estrogen tends to make women seek social interaction, so that they are physically, cognitively, and emotionally prepared to nurture their dependent children and find support for them, whereas a high level of testosterone motivates the sex drive. Men usually have higher testosterone levels than women.

LOL!

David Lee Roth, too.

Yes. Humans are not rational animals. Just good at rationalising to ourselves our irrational decisions. We are mostly animals.

You don't wonder how his daughter felt?

​@@diannew6066🤣 I was thinking " didn't he have more than 1 child in the first marriage ?" It reminds me of when someone speaking to a couple doesn't acknowledge the woman at all, but looks only at the man

Legally he would still have been married to his first wife & committed a crime by marrying multiple other women.

That way if he ever tripped up and said ''my son jeff'' he was covered.

Trying to subconsciously replace him, maybe?

@@briskettacos No, he considered himself Jeff and what's better than having someone who is a mini me unless it's a mini me named after your wonderful self. So goes the narcissist's frame of mind.

@@diannew6066 That makes no sense. He would have named his first son after his real name if so. It’s far more likely that it was the second wife’s decision. The weird thing was that he didn’t stop her.

They didn't pay them he was in the states ... Canada doesn't pay for out of country medical bills also him being declared dead he wouldn't have a health card so couldn't even go to a Canadian hospital

Probably from a family member.

Hi Buffalo Bill

I was thinking the same, showing up at family functions thinking nobody would ever turn him in.....like he couldn't comprehend what a total a$$hole he looked like

Those Canadian cops are not too bright. No human skeletal remains in barn, yep he died in the fire.

That is a horrible case,, a disappearance that turned into a homicide with a sickening backstory...

Mrs. Potato Head approved!

He should have gone into politics, lobbying, PR or advertising.

He wasn't even all that talented in that respect, because he got found out every time...

@@coweatsman He probably would have made a good living that way, if he tried. Pig farming was obviously too hard for him. He could have just sold the pigs and absconded with the money or divorced his first wife and divided the financial assets with her. How highly could his family have thought of him upon his return after leaving her and their very young children fatherless to pursue other women? And, better yet, with a new first and last name that was meant to con his fourth wife.

For sure. What a loser.

@@nanettevantriesteharder2469 I wonder if his first wife and two sons were still in the same area when he started returning to Canada and visiting family there...I just can't imagine how a person would get through life with no real identity. And what about health care---through the years and then when he became old enough for Social Security. I understand, of course, that Dr. Grande can't go into great detail and still keep his videos a very reasonable length.

I always wonder what happened to the victims in these cases. I hope Ron's first family quickly realised they were better off without him and managed to make a good new life for themselves.

@@marijo1951 the selfish existence of a narcissist. And I hope they realize how truly lucky they are to have dodged a bullet with this creep. He is built of the same stuff as family annihilators.

🙄

I find it more interesting that he was able to finance 37 years on the run with only a $15k head start.

@@peterliebezeit5636 presumably the women he met underwrote most of his expenses

You could buy a new VW Beetle for about that then.

He probably found some rube and sold them a pile of junk that he convinced them was a classic car.

@@dicedrice7216 most likely one of the local cops who decided he died in the barn fire despite the conspicuous absence of human remains

Burns night too lol

Australia Day and a holiday 26th Jan🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

@@debrastarr5083 Except that it WAS NOT January 26th when I posted the holiday list. I only do the current day, so there!

@@themonstersmummy LOL is not punctuation.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not anymore!

"change their names ir"?

It used to be much easier. People would find a child who died and assume their identity. It would be a child because they had a social security number but no other record to complicate things. They would request paper work and just get it. It doesn't work anymore. Everything is computerized and the government is much more savvy about identity theft.

The finale was fenominal!

ALLITERATION ain't necessarily poetry.

Just like my brother, who I had to go no contact with 47 years ago.

Yes, I wonder how they have been coping with this quagmire their father left behind

His first wife went through a lot.

@@shellibelli4387 agreed
