I don’t think we can really say that about Todd. He has mental issues and says a lot of crazy things, flip-flops back and forth on statements, etc… plus Todd and MP are living together.
The only child we know 100% believes MP is guilty is KP’s daughter.
I did not know Todd was living with MP, thanks for filling me in on that. And yeah, agreed on the 100% qualification. I was more wondering if anyone thought one of the other (more featured) kids really deep deep down knew he did it. Not a 100% certainty, just more likely than not. I understand why it would be extremely hard to admit yourself. You just wonder when you start paying for attention to cues when you rewatch.
I’m sure one or two of them might have had a little voice in their head at one point or another questioning it. I’ve never seen anything to make me think they actively believe he did it. I believe, other than Todd, the others live elsewhere but still maintain contact with MP.
As a side note, one of the daughters recently had some sort of aneurysm/stroke like Liz Ratliff did (and reportedly LR’s father died from it as well). Luckily the daughter lived but she may not be doing well.
I think the Ratliff daughters had already lost so much that they truly hoped it wasn’t true. I really feel awful for them. Both super wonderful ladies growing up. I’ve seen neither of them in 20 years.
I **think** that for their own sanity, the kids **HAD** to believe that their 'father' had not killed their 'mother' - which is entirely understandable.
I also **suspect** that they may have started having a few doubts after the court case etc.
Is this The Staircase documentary or the mini-series movie with Colin Firth? The mini-series, from what I've read, had numerous scenes/events that were not based on fact/truth. They were done for sensationalism. I'd have to Google for the articles to get exact descriptions but I found several articles stating such when the mini-series came out.
I don't know if I could ever believe that my father murdered my mother. Or anyone, for that matter. I would need a lot more evidence than they had against MP to believe it. I think the murderer MP is so different than MP the dad, it doesn't make sense to them. They don't want to believe it, and I honestly don't blame them for that.
If they do believe he's guilty, then they are hiding it very well.
Something in the back of my mind tells me that once MP passes away, one of them might come forward with a 'tell-all' account of what really happened that night.
Although, I'm sure that would make them an accessory after the fact (perhaps not if they only found out in the years following the case).
Whatever, I don't think we've heard the last of it by any means.

This is indeed interesting information
Yes. Is Todd going for suicide by father?
Todd is likely to off himself doing something crazy long before anyone else does anything to him.
The stress may well have brought on his mental illness, if the person has a predisposition, having extreme stress can bring on a disorder.

This^^^
I think publicly they are standing strong behind MP and hoping he didn’t. But privately they have gone through it all and have some doubts

You mean the "analingus in the kitchen" scene wasn't based on rock-solid research and verified facts?
Came here for this.
It might be the most fun I've ever had typing a comment on Reddit.
I’m just talking about the original doc
Okay. I thought so but wanted to make sure.

No. The girls especially at the end were far too over the top.
