While investigators initially suspected VanderHeyden’s boyfriend, the evidence pointed to George Burch, a man from Virginia, as the perpetrator. Despite Burch’s claims that VanderHeyden’s boyfriend was responsible, a jury found Burch guilty of first-degree intentional homicide in 2018. Burch appealed his conviction, but the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the decision in June 2021.

6:40 😂 because that’s what women say anytime they can’t control their men! 😂
Now I want to look for a case where the criminal was prosecuted because of their Fitbit!
😅😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😮😮😮😮😢😮😮🎉😮😮😢😮
Usually, you don’t jump in ur head to worst case scenario.. I believe the husband
Anyone who wears a “wife beater” in public…
So people can't take off a Fitbit and leave it in their home,and go out to commit a crime .
Just odd that was immediately ruled as proof of his innocence.
Being drunk let her senses down also.
This monster was 6 six? Ginormis. How scarry. Than he tried to blame him?. I admit i thought it was the boyfriend. Never ever get in the car with anyone Ever.
Man she was 🔥
Liar liar liar
The most shocking thing about this story is that Burch was 38😱
Holy crap I’m so happy for Matheu, way to stand up for yourself when you know you’re right
omg this lawyer😮…..there is a murder sitting next to you !!!!! The DNA of this guy is all over her !!…..and the same lawyer said it was Doug and than this crazy story about some individual
Still the dude's reactions and actions to all what's happened to his wife is mind blowing…Shows as much emotion as the killer…
I don't know, this story smells…
So glad, the defendant lost.
No need to add distracting music. It's ridiculous. I'm here for information, to hear what people are saying. Why would I want music?
So glad life without parole was given!!!
I’ve never disliked a stranger so much in my life than this guy George Birch
How did defense lawyer sleep at night? I know damn well if there’s anyone that’s going to the hot place it’s them! To sit there and lie through your teeth for a living for scumbags like this that kill innocent people and not just lie to get him off from a sin that he committed which was murder you’re going to put it on an innocent man that just lost The love of his life lawyers are scumbags!

I’ve seen this one numerous times on dateline it kind of irritates me when detectives always think they know everything about the individual because they’ve asked what three questions😂 she’s like oh there was tension throughout in history but their relationship how do you know that you literally just met that man and you don’t know her you don’t know them at all
a husband that trully loved his wife would be at least trying to get to the killer in the room for taking out his other half ~!
"… kept viewers glued to the screen ". Sure , I just can't sleep thinking about it . Between two bites
I prefer the bear
i absolutely cackled at his lawyers defense😭😭 his story still doesn’t explain away the fact that his dna was all over her body and the murder weapon… and doug’s was absolutely no where to be found. if his story was true then doug’s dna would’ve been on the murder weapon since he insinuates she was already dead when he came into “the picture”. as well as doug’s phone evidence proves there was no way for him to even be there.
This guys wig is out of control! How embarssing
My gut tells me Dug didn’t do it. His emotions and reactions seemed very real.
Ironic he just happen to have a fitbit watch on when he went out drinking w his lady …he more then likely met this dude and planned it … also ironic that he has the Fitbit in the Fitbit he doesn't mention the Fitbit and the Fitbit proves is innocence but the other guy whose phone will prove his guilt he tells him or you could use my phone to prove that it wasn't me something don't smell right Doug might have not physically killed her but he was definitely involved
The most dangerous drug in the world is alcohol
This why i believe to many are sitting in jail innocently because these detectives are too quick to point fingers when they dont have a clue and if it weren't for his fitbit.. hed still be charged. I dont trust no "detectives" or police for that matter.
What a disgusting lieing story of that weirdo. He deserves every minute of his conviction
Damn the defendant testimony is literally hilarious 🤣
Your children are YOUR responsibility lady ! Not looking for male attention. By what the vague and cringy description that was offered up by your so called close friends tells me, is that none of you knew eachother at all. What a sad and empty way to live and now someone else has to raise the children that were your choice to have.
They sit in prison awaiting trial, looking at all the evidence against them, and making up some bullsht crap story to fit around it 😅😅
In my country Doud would be serving a ton of years behind bars, after the cops would have taken all of his money and tortured him in undescribing ways.
Strange story from the real killer when he accuse somebody else to force him to kill the women ,i think he accuse the hasband but nobody believes this immaginable story ,he was covicted.
Seems like the smoking gun is Georges DNA on the cord. If you're knocked out and when you came to Nikki was already dead, there would be no need for the cord to be used for anything.
he looks like Dolph Lundgren..
Mathu's defense is outstanding, detective's whose are in charge is kinda forcing to get something from him,even putting Doug into cuffs without proper verification of the blood like come on they're very cooperative don't be to harsh.
💋
For example; Defense attorneys got that… "imunity", even if they know how someone got killed (if theire clients did it and confess)….and for me is; how those…. 🐵 even sleep at night and kiss theire family with those mouths. Like, i could never ever marry someone who cant be trusted, especially have kids with someone like that…? Smh
Imagine a guy of that size overpowering you. How terrifying!! It's better to stick together and be safe than to risk harm. What a tragedy.
