You know the cops n feds are going to be all over that Starbucks to see if they can get the surveillance footage and ask around to see if he was meeting anyone. I really hope they get it. I know a lot of people at casinos who lend big money and borrow big money from other players. Happens everyday. Most never pay back their debts. And most lenders are constantly asking for their money back. Maybe he was over there to try to borrow money or pay back some he borrowed. Who knows. Maybe we never will.
You can tell, even when they hide it well as one of my staff did. Vodka and OJ in a sports bottle, on call. Or the other one we found with the leftover fentanyl needle in his arm in the restroom. He was the anesthetist and we couldn’t find him before surgery was scheduled to start.
They will have noticed something. Which they did, if I recall correctly.
I haven’t heard anything about drug use with TT. What have you heard?
Higher up in the thread is a link that references changed behavior. Looking at the physical changes, alcohol abuse certainly seems likely.
Respectfully disagree. I don't see alcohol abuse in this case...just a mountain of debt, civil judgements, federal fraud cases, eviction and inevitable jail time.
He'd rather wipe out his family than deal with their humiliation.
I wish when he spoke to the FBI agents regarding the fraud investigation, they would have arrested him right there and then. I guess those white collar crimes don't work that way. According to the article, he admitted to everything and even asked how long it would take to wrap up their investigation because he wanted to plead guilty. But they sent him on his way advising him to have his lawyer contact him.

That kinda cheeses me off. Jmo
Does anyone know how to retrieve the original FB group entitled "Looking for the Todt Family" that the family started?
I was listening to this woman on youtube that analyzes cases, and I found it interesting that she was reading comments from the original missing FB page.
One person commented: "I'm in shock reading this. Tony and Meg have been dear friends for years. I haven't talked to him in a while, but I know the last few years have been rough for him. The last I saw him had been in August and I was concerned for him." (Someone WAS concerned for him. This is the first I've heard that anyone suspected something was wrong.)
A teacher commented: "...I'm Alek's teacher and we last heard from him via text on December 16. I last communicated with Megan on 12/13."
A neighbor commented: "We last saw and spoke with them in mid November. We had dinner in their home one night, and another night kept the kids for them to go out. We love the family." (Commented indicated their were neighbors of the condo they owned in Celebration).
Can anyone more computer savvy then me post the original FB page??

As soon as authorities asked him if his wife knew about the fraud and he said no, they should have involved CPS, knowing that there were kids in the house at risk of violence. Hopefully this case will serve as a learning tool for future fraud cases.
Didn’t CW also say they were out of money and about to lose their big house in CO right before he killed his pregnant wife and 2 kids so he could be with his new gf, because in his own words on the instructional video he made, “Sometimes you just change your mind,” or something to that effect. Another guy whose whole financial world was caving around him but he continued to keep up appearances. He was also friendly and accommodating right up until the second he annihilated the entire lot.

I agree and hope that all cases going forward will be handled differently. That's some scary stuff right there. They had a desperate man cornered.

I looked on wayback and cant find it. I don't know where else to look. Jmo

I read this too and thought if this person knew the last few years have been rough for him, the wife must have also. It really makes you wonder how much she knew and how shocking the final evictions really were to her. They had other eviction attempts over the years that he was able to “get out of” at the last minute a few times, and you’d think she probably knew about those. Makes you wonder why at least she didn’t make moves to drastically change their dire situation before the tragedy struck. She could have talked him into selling the condo or moving back into it and gotten out of the $5000/ month rental agreement on house, gotten a job, put kids in free public school, cancelled kid’s extracurricular activity’s, moved in with family for free.... something, anything to protect her kids. I personally would never marry anyone with such a traumatic history bc I know what could be down the road and wouldn’t want to deal with it. Surely she’d have been concerned with his mental state if she knew how bad things were, and it seems moved to protect her kids. According to him she did not know about the insurance fraud, but who knows if that’s even true, or what else she knew about. Friends say she showed no signs of stress at all, so maybe she really didn’t have a clue, was a good actress, or was in denial and thought somehow he’d bail them out again.

I was really struck off-guard listening to this youtuber reading off the comments, particularly this one. Yes, it seems, there was at least one close friend or neighbor that realized things weren't good for "a few years". And I agree, it begs the question -- who was confiding in stuff going south?
Not sure about the children's situation, but I would venture an educated guess that the
teachers that see them twice a week at best are also the private lesson teachers. With homeschooling, sometimes music and creative writing are weaved into the curriculum and are covered under the fee. I don't know anything about this particular program, but assume they place a great deal of emphasis on the arts and the cost alone per child may include private instruction.
Now I'm almost getting the feeling that they home schooled because they couldn't afford private, but didn't want their children in public school.
I thought this was this case, but not being super savvy in computers, thought there was a way to resurrect it.
I guess everything you put out onto the internet is not forever.

Wish there was a love button for this one! I have said before Meg was an intelligent woman and I personally find it very hard to believe she was totally clueless. This was a game they were playing for years and somehow he always managed to pull it off. Until this time. They filed taxes she must have had to sign. She had to see what they earned and there is no way she did not know what her lifestyle was costing them. I truly am not victim blaming in any way, I just don't believe she was in the dark about the finances. I still feel the murder suicide option is viable but that we will most likely never know. They were and had been for a very long time living way beyond the means. No way she did not know any of this. She knew how much the rent was, the schooling was, the constant adventures to everywhere, the Siesta keys vacations, him flying back and forth to CT every week etc etc etc !!! In the eulogy his family read at the funeral it was like every day was an adventure and full of fun. Sounds like a 365 day a year vacation almost. JMOO
ETA: she had some things in her background too. Estranged from her Mom, Dad committed suicide, no siblings to have a relationship with. She was close to an Aunt and Uncle or 2, that was it.

Interesting. Maybe TT was planning on letting bodies rot to skew autopsy and then say he came home and found them all dead and made it look like a murder suicide caused by the mom. ‘Her father did it, why not her.’ Jury might buy it too if he said he had recently told her about federal fraud case, his probable stint in jail, the evictions and loss of his CT license. And he ‘just couldn’t bare to leave them’ so he stayed in house with rotting bodies. Wouldn’t it be wild if he is now saying ‘I only confessed bc I knew I was going to jail anyway on fraud charges and what good is life without them, and I didn’t want wife to be considered a murderer, so I took the wrap.’ Whoa.

I just realized something. There are so many ways he could have killed them all, kept his hands cleaned, and maybe even collected insurance money, such as burning the house down, etc. So why the brutal savage 10” stabbing into his sons, and the murder of his whole family including dog? I think something big must have gone down. He must have told her about the loss of license and fraud and she flipped out. Imo. Or Maybe he poisoned them all thru a dinner he cooked, waited for it to work, they were still writhing, so he stabbed them to finish them off. And maybe he didn’t have to stab baby girl bc poison was enough. And if he never told them the truth before killing them maybe it’s because he didn’t want the kids to have the hellish childhood he did. Who knows. Just speculating.

Ok, so everyone was cremated. (I guess it’s cheaper). Well that’s bad news. Unless the state lab saved tissue and hair samples. If they only did blood tests they will not be able to determine if long-term poisoning was involved. Say they tested them for X Y and Z substances, but then they get intel months later on another potential substance. If they burn their bridges early, they may never know. Think of all the substances they have to test for these days. It’s not like “one and done.”
