McStay Family Found Dead: Brother Speaks Out

The disappearance and murder of the McStay family in southern California in 2010 is a perplexing case.  What happened to them? How did the family end up murdered–only to be discovered nearly four years later in two shallow graves?

No one to date has the answers.

A reader has sent me a video of the murdered father’s brother, Michael McStay, speaking out at a press conference shortly after the bodies of his brother and family were found and identified this month.

The first thing you will notice is Michael is acting all stressed out and shedding tears, but we see no scientific evidence on his face to support he is feeling either of these.

I am immediately pinged that his eyebrows and forehead are nearly frozen.  I can’t help but question if this man has had Botox.  But at 1:43, I see he can show stress in the forehead and it only appears once!

He also appears to be speaking hesitantly, with pauses, which typically accompany someone who is crying hard and flooding their sinuses, but his sinuses are clearly not flooded.  This is a red flag.

Michael also laughs in this interview at the end, and tries to stop himself at which point he buries his face in his arm. It’s very odd and notable behavior.

After watching this video of Michael, I would want to investigate him further without question.  He is on my radar.

Curious about this case, I went and read some more details and I found a really odd statement by Michael, according to People magazine.  They reportedly quote Michael from the Orange County Register saying in 2010 a few weeks after his brother and family disappeared, “My fear is that I’m looking for two adult shallow graves and … my two nephews’ crosses.”

If Michael said that, and it can be verified, um, he has some serious explaining to do!! He knows something without question and isn’t telling us all he knows to be true.
