Peter Keller, what a feller, Built himself an in ground cellar. Offed his wife and his kid, Then Peter Keller ran and hid. Cops soon swarmed from clues he gave, And Keller's cellar became his grave. On a more solemn note, rip Lynette and Kaylene who seemed like very beautiful souls.

His daughter was enrolled in college courses related to Peter’s interests. Really sad how he didn’t see that as exciting.

This guy was so busy planning to keep his body alive, but neglected his soul. He was a so-called survivalist, but destroyed any reason he had to Live. He was clueless. His family was the best part about him.

Another channel looked at this case and showed some of the footage from his AND his wife's videos (to earn extra money, his wife had a KZfaq channel of crafts projects and life hacks.) In her videos, she mentioned that he was such a generous man and took care of the family and you could tell that she was genuinely grateful to him. In HIS videos, he called her lazy and a moocher ..it was so heartbreaking to see that she trusted and loved a man who thought of her as dirt.😢

I saw the videos of him and his wife and it's clear the family was walking on eggshells around him. The dog outright hated him and snarled at him, as if it could sense his evil. When the wife talked about meeting him and him wanting to marry her right away, I thought about the kind of love-bombing that narcissists do.

A perfectly-presented portrait of a perplexing prepping person.

This guy used the "Prepper" idea as an excuse to make a hideout for when he murdered his family.The fact that he killed the dog shows he just wanted an excuse to kill. He was board w/life and didn't want to support his loved ones financially or emotionally.I can't imagine his wife's last thoughts... forget infidelity, this is truly the ultimate betrayal. What a pathetic excuse for a man. I hope his victims are resting in peace. This was a sad one😢

I’ve heard you cover a lot of cases involving people who murdered their spouses and children. There are normally warning signs, but in this one, he managed to not give any concrete ones. Very tragic. He killed the two people who helped him achieve his dream of building a bunker. He could have worked towards retirement, and then lived in the bunker without a care in the world. There was no need to do something so horrific and drastic.

Stories that involve a 'secret underground bunker' usually end badly in my experience.

Just watched another lengthy video on this case but as always, I can count on Dr. Grande to provide an incredibly thorough and concise summary and analysis that trumps others. Thanks, Dr. Grande!

I’m so glad you covered this case. He’s a sick sick individual. I watched some of his videos he made leading up to the horror. It’s fascinating and quite disturbing at the same time. But, why did he have to take his wife , daughter and dogs’ lives as well? He really thought the fire would burn the evidence 😢

That's a shame. I don't understand why people want to kill others in these situations. He didn't do it to "save" them, because he intended to live alone. His daughter was 18, he could have just left and not killed them.

Nomen est omen. This man's last name is the German word for basement, cellar, bunker.

European here. Underground bunker is never a positive thing.... And avoid men with self built submarines.

This world is unpredictable in so many ways. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for bringing us so many interesting stories and analyses. ❤❤ It is always fun for me to find peace and calm listening to Dr. Grande’s pov on such an array of true crime stories.

Don’t think you can call him a prepper if he’s doing out of boredom and wanting excitement in his life. Seems to me he realized if he was going to live an exciting life of robbing banks he couldn’t keep a traditional address and people who knew of his hideout. He’s like a villain who needs a lair during the day when not committing crimes.

This guy is one of the most confusing of all the cases you've covered. Huge drive to survive, but none for his wife and daughter. This is narcissism on steroids! Seriously! Ironically, the military has a saying; a cave is a grave. To be safe he did dig a cave to be saved, even while knowing it may be his grave.

I will never understand why people murder their spouse or family. If you're unhappy just leave. 🤷😢

Ever since the pandemic, I've become somewhat of a prepper. I never have less than 30 rolls of toilet paper at any given time.

No need to kill his family! He could just feck off to the woods if that's what he wanted to do.

Paranoid schizophrenia. ( but I'm not diagnosing anybody only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this.)

He was upset that it was he that was falling apart instead of the society and government around him.

I don't think I have ever seen someone with the alliteration skills like Dr. Grande's. Purely amazing!

I've read about this case in the news and thought that would be great to see the video from Dr Grande. In here it is. As always very interesting. Thanks.

I saw a video about this. I’m glad you covered it. I was curious as to what was wrong with him. One thing that I wondered about was did he kill his family to protect them in some morbid way? He could have just divorced and gone off the grid. Scary.

Dr. Grande! Still a fan. I just got your book on the Psychology of Notorious Serial Killers at my Work Christmas Party! I cannot wait to read it. Keep up the exceptional work !

that "Peter Piper" reference though. i appreciate your humor doc.

Peter Prepper packed a pantry pit for peril. Paranoid Peter pumped his partner and his progeny. Peter Prepper's prison portion was predicted but for a pistol.

Neighbors: “He seemed like such a normal guy.”

Although he was indeed “preparing for the end of the world”, it didn’t seem like he thought the outside world was going to end, more like he knew he was terribly depressed and his own “inner world” was coming to an end. It’s strange to me how a lot of these suicide types feel they need to kill their whole family in attempt to save them from suffering in a life without them. The human mind works in terrible and mysterious ways…

WHAT? Nothing about how Peter Prepper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Oh, but I do love those alliterations you do Doc. You're a treasure. ❤ Merry Christmas to you your family and your lovely pooch too.

I know a couple of preppers. They also think (for example) Britney Spears online is an actor and so is Joe Biden. I told them, "ok, I can get that, but why and why would they make them crazy and senile if they're actors?" Never really got an answer that makes sense.

I see the prepping really helped his family to remain safe.

Even if he didn’t kill his family, are people allowed to just go into the forest and build a compound if they don’t own the land directly? Can anyone fill me in on this, I’m genuinely curious in how this works. Are people allowed to do this in public national forests and parks? If it isn’t illegal I’m shocked more people don’t do it.

Are there more family annihilators than there used to be, or are we talking about them more?

You forgot one movie that the group motivated by fear probably connect to... The Road. One of the most terrifying movies I have ever seen.

This guy didn't deserve what he had.

Guy spends 8 years building a "survival" bunker, then commits suicide in it.

The dude's brain was rattled. Learning from my grandparents, I've always made sure we have extra in case one loses their job, gets sick....earthquake, tsunami, etc. I'm not doing the whole bunker thing. Above all, I want to provide for and protect my family. There's no way in heck I'd kill them! I'm sitting here shaking my head. This dude had some real serious issues. On top of that, he had some beans and a way to make wine? He wasn't a good prepper. Nope.

No good ever comes out of building underground bunkers. Put your energy into enjoying your life, buy a boat and go fishing instead. Great calmness comes from being by the sea⛵🌊.

How bizarre and sad.

You are extremely intelligent Dr Grande. Very informative and educational. Thank you so much. Loved the "P's" game in this narration too.

Watching this on EWU's channel, I was hoping Dr Grande would analyse it! This was crazy enough, but he documented it, which is just next level

When mid life crisis’ go beyond buying a sports car and having an affair

This guy was a piece of work. Apparently, he was mad at his wife for not contributing to the household income and he grew to hate her. His daughter probably was just collateral damage. EWU has a cool video dissecting his video diaries.

Thank you for all your hard work! 🙏

Greetings Dr. Grande, longtime subscriber here. Forgive my fixation on such minutiae, but I notice you now have eight cacti on your set, whereas in previous videos, there were seven. I’m just curious if there’s any symbolic reason for this, or if it’s merely an aesthetic choice. I suspect the latter. Thanks for your fascinating presentations. As always, I appreciate your calm, easygoing pacing, as well as your comforting voice. Upon watching your latest uploads, I await with pleasure, your exquisitely dry joke. When I’m lucky, you’ll employ lovely little alliterations, which I long for, like a lavish latte. This video is no exception. To wit: 15:22 - 15:52. This one must be your best yet, and that’s saying something! I’m fully floored at the frequency of your fancy flourishes here, for sure! Thanks again for taking the time to add these elements, just for our amusement! Great stuff. Cheers. x

One would think people would have learned from Hitler's rather negative bunker experience.

Can't wait to see the video he'll make about Bad Surgeon: Dr. Paolo Macchiarini

Not a prepper, He was a survivalist .

It really sucks to not get the full confession and motive. He seemed to have the perfect life... Aside from the underground bunker. Bunkers should be on the red flag list.

Here’s my theory, just an opinion: Peter as a child fantasized about building a forest fort in which he could be safe- possibly to avoid terrible childhood abuse, something he also alluded to. I suppose the thing(s) that happened to him completely broke him and that broken thing lived in him, stunting his ability to develop normally and achieving empathy. His broken mindset prompted him, as he approached 40, to return to the only thing that ever made sense to him. Something which he obsessed over as a helpless child living in constant danger, and never receiving empathy himself. His psyche was so damaged, that he never could rise above it, but instead he relied on maintaining a facade of normalcy which his personality created for him to survive in the world. Survive he did, but always as a sad empty shell with a broken child inside. When midlife approached he realized he could no longer continue and as he put it “could no longer fight it” and decided to do the only thing that made sense to him. He was so empty and dead it cannot be termed narcissistic, because narcissism is a form of self-preservation. He did not feel one iota of self-entitlement, because he despised himself and gave into it. He thought carefully and long about what to do with his loved ones and killed them as painlessly as possible. Perhaps he thought it was merciful. He took good care of them and couldn’t conceive of them continuing happily without him. His world view was such that they too were just hapless victims of being alive, as he was… they just didn’t know it, as he did. His self-recordings and his joyless nihilism are poignant and disturbing. I don’t think he fits the description of “prepper”. It’s a testament to how someone can be so broken on the inside while growing up that the inner resources required to grow mentally are irreparable. I wish someone would delve into his past. It’s a fascinating look at human nature. I feel that Dr. Grande didn’t do this story justice.

Hide your bunker well But when you get old or sick and eventually die nobody will find you.

He wasn't a prepper. Only preparing where he'd live after he killed his family.

My dad lives in north bend Washington. I lived there for a few months at the end of 2003, and have lived about 2 hours away since then. I'm surprised I've never heard of this.

Well, you told us who he was, but why he murdered his wife, daughter, then himself is unexplained. Being a prepper isn't really a motive.

Dr grande definitely watches explore with us, I only just watched them cover this story last week.

Dr. Grande's alliteration at the end was impressive. I bet he had fun writing that.

Dear Dr Grande, what an amazing matter and analysis. Gee, what would I do without your amazing channel. So interesting and engaging. Yes peppers do. Never Stop. I would so miss your interesting matters, calm engaging analysis.Your valuable channel provides high level learning that there is no other way to achieve. Many thanks for your consistent efforts which many enjoy, I'm confident enough to state that numerous followers of your channels are living far better lives now. By being enabled to spot the sh-t in life and duck before it hits thier personal fan. Many MANY sincere thanks

Peter needed Mental Health Counseling, some good Psy meds, and a career change, as he was suffering a "Mid Life Crisis."

Dr. Grande, I think you have overlooked another group of preppers...the graduates of the school of hard knocks. There are people who are considered preppers who prep because they have experienced hard times and hunger and try to safeguard against it for any future hard times. Rather than being driven by fantasy, it is driven from reality. These people are often ones whose needs have been ignored or downplayed. They may suffer from PTSD and not have proper help, or may not be able to attain the help they need. General mental health facilities don't have the same level of care for PTSD as the military, and the military doesn't even have the greatest care. These people live on the fringes of society and instead of getting the help they need, they are repeatedly turned down and rejected by society. Many have suffered on the fringes from childhood, consistently being failed by the system, and simply surviving the best they can. Maybe this is the same introverted group you referenced, and if so, you grossly misunderstand the interworking of their minds. This group has been disenfranchised and no longer believes that society has a place for them because they have been failed repeatedly. We live in a society that says that true poverty doesn't exist in America, but it does, and this group has felt the sting of living in that true poverty while their reality is being denied. It's like they are being gaslit by society. How can they not become distrustful and jaded? Please consider this group as well. They are the forgotten ones until their mere act of trying to survive puts them on the wrong side of the law, (mundane things that shouldn't even be illegal such as dumpster diving and camping in unauthorized areas) and they come in all colors, ages, and sexes. If the government isn't going to help them, then they need to leave them alone for simply trying to survive.

Hi Dr. Grande, your many Video Contents are Excellent, but your Tongue-Twisters are Brilliant! 🤣

I was feeling so bad about his wife and daughter . It's so sad and heartbreaking. 😔 Then the way you ended it had me laughing out loud! I couldn't say what you said if you paid me ! 🤣

I’ve watched a few vids on this guy but I missed some of the new info I heard here (like that he started construction of the bunker in 2004). It was certainly disturbing to see him apparently talk himself into killing his wife and daughter before reaching that stage of acceptance. I wondered why he didn’t just disappear, leave them behind, but if they knew as much as you mentioned here, there was no way he would let them risk his future, so now that makes sense too.

Of course one of these dungeon warlords would snap some time

This guy left “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers” looking like a kindergarten recital.

Savage use of alliteration towards the end 😆

I recommend watching the video by EXPLORE WITH US:. When a Killer vlogs his murders. His wife and daughter had absolutely no idea. His wife was also completely out of touch with what was going on. Peter did not pick a peck of peppers.

It sounds like he had a mental break. Was this post pandemic? People are needing a lot of mental services that many are not seeking. I don't think he was a prepper, most are family oriented.

Peter picked a pack of pickled peppers.

I am amazed at the ability of the author to add alliterative amusement to an already adequate anecdote and aptness for abstaining from abject absurdity.

What a selfish man without a conscience who was devoid of love and natural affection! He was a lazy man who no longer wanted to work. If he wanted to leave his family and live in the bunker on his own, why didn't he? He didn't have to kill his wife and daughter to do it. 🧚

Honestly the bunker looks cool and as a project seems cool. Shame that the dude was selfish to the point where he'd rather rob and kill his own family than get a job.

omg i know i should not laugh but Dr. Grande's final thoughts were hilarious! 😂

Wow all the words starting with P at the end... very impressive Dr. Grande 👏 👏

Always interesting Thank you

If you don't like your family just divorce or leave.

That closing statement was poetically filled with "p" words

Fantastic alliterations - palpable panic of pending peril.. perceived his purpose as a prepper. Great work!

What I get out of this case is, agencies are far too afraid of preppers (which he really wasn't one, anyway.) They treat them as if they're as cunning as the Viet kong, yet he couldn't even conceal his smoke from keeping warm. Was obviously out of shape and not especially talented. Gave him WAY too much time to escape accountability, when he could have been taken alive and suffered long term. May his wife and daughter rest in peace.

Always great content in a concise manner we can understand. Someday could you analyze Claudine Longet the ex wife of Andy Williams. I don't feel anybody has reported on it factually.

Great case analysis and hiking trail recommend all in one video! Thanks Dr. Grande!

Wonderful alliteration, Dr. Grande!!

Hi Dr. G❤

Peter, the Real Archie Bunker 😩

The ending was great, your awesome doc. Ahahahaha ❤❤❤

Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! I had homemade (mostly) vegan Xi'an food last night. Potatoes, cumin, hand-pulled noodles, hot and sour dumplings, cucumber salad, pomelo, mandarin oranges, and more! December 2 is Safety Razor Day, National Mutt Day, National Fritters Day, Atomic Power Day, Play Basketball Day, and Abolition of Slavery Day.

"Camp Keller" a symbol of fear, irreality and vulnerability😁 The famous Viennese psychoanalyst A. Adler suggested that the "birth trauma" is never overcome, even when individuals reach the age of maturity (roughly 21+). It's clear that most adults fail to come to terms with the fact of "having been born." Birthing is painful for all parties and while often celebrated it's actually viewed by many, mostly subconsciously, as a misfortune. This is evident when young people around the age of 15 say things like "I wish I had never been born" or, a variation, "I never asked to be born." It should be clear to anyone that the "bunker" is symbolically a return to the "womb." The bunker represents self-contained and undisturbed existence where there is no anxiety and no apprehension. We can say that being an adult in our society means an acceptance of risk, anxiety, and living with vulnerability. As I understand the situation, there are basically two options given our common predicament: retreat or surrender. Retreat is the avenue known as "psychosis." This is a rejection of reality and a preference for one's own wishes and desires. Or there is another option. This option I call "love"- love in the sense of self-surrender, sacrifice, ridding oneself of one's self and living for others. Through acts of self-sacrifice we realize why we were created in the first place: to share the love that God has for all of us. Thank you.

I watched the EWU channel on this. I was blown away. He started building this bunker 8 whole years before this happened. This guy had it all, yet whined that he had nothing. He had money in the bank, a loving wife, and a good daughter. and a nice home. I wonder what his friends and coworkers said about him.

That bunker is very intriguing. It is interesting hearing what type of mindset preppers are most disposed to maintain. The prepper culture is very interesting, I am curious of what areas it is most prevalent.

Did a documentary come out? Why is this suddenly popular again?

I would bet that he did DV against his wife. Just because she was sweet to him in a recorded video, doesn’t mean he wasn’t abusing her. Sometimes a woman will say good things about an abuser to keep the peace. He put himself and his wishes ahead of his family by building this bunker. He could have done many things for his family with all that money and time.

Keller Skelter! Plenty of Cokes, plenty of smokes. That's good preppin'. If you're preppin' to watch the football game!

What the hell was the point in all that???! 🤦🏻 Why prepare to survive a post-apocalyptic world only to get his brains all over the place in less than 24 hours. 🙄

I would definitely be a prepper if I could afford to be one. However I also definitely don't fit the role of a typical prepper. I despise conspiracy theorists and I have zero issues with authority. I have listened to a lot of post apocalyptic audio books. Whether its fantasy like zombies, or real threats like post global nuclear apocalypse, or EMP disasters, or gamma burst, one thing I believe that most of these books get right. Its that if a true disaster ever happens, things are going to get bad, really quick. Societal infrastructure is going to collapse rapidly. Just look at the beginning of the coronavirus. People rushing out and buying all the toilet paper and sanitizer that they could buy. Now imagine what would happen in a truly bad incident like a nuclear war. Or an asteroid hitting the planet, or a super volcano erupting. Imagine the panic then. And these things happening are not as far fetch as many would like to believe. We could easily have another pandemic with something far deadlier than covid. Nuclear war with Russia or N Korea or even China, are real possibilities. Are they likely to happen? Probably not. But if i had the money, I damn sure would want to be prepared if it ever does. One other thing those books get right, if you are trying to prepare AFTER the sh*t has already hit the fan, then you're probably as good as dead.

I saw the video on ewu the other day , disturbing

He was getting disability because he couldn't work due to a work accident. But he built an underground bunker in the middle of the woods by hand, carrying all the supplies there...

Was this the same man who had been caught by the forest service a few times while attempting to build his bunker? How bizarre that he would spend all that time building his bunker only to end his life a few days after moving in. Why would he kill his wife and daughter? So sad. Anyone remember what claim to fame North Bend has? It is the main setting for the TV show Twin Peaks.
