Did He Display Disturbing Behavior in the Past?? #truecrime #crimejunkie | Forensic Files

The only thing that has been talked about is some worrisome behavior by MK that got uncovered in KSP's
investigation. According to court docs, MK allegedly has a history of violent outbursts and mental instability.
Now, he doesn't have a criminal history, but what investigators hear paints a really disturbing picture. According to
court records, a guy named Timothy Lykins told investigators that he had gone to the McKinney house one night
after drinking [music] at Seasons, you know, the usual. And he alleges MK pulled out a knife and
said that he was going to kill everyone there. And like 20 people [music] were over, so
everyone fled the basement, according to Timothy. And then Michael wrestled the knife away
from MK. And Roy even told investigators that he was talking to MK the night of the murder, and MK was confiding in him
that he was experiencing suicidal thoughts, and that he'd been hearing dark voices telling him to do bad
things. Now, Roy says that he was really concerned, and he tried to comfort him,
but like given how much he drank, Roy was in no shape to like help anyone. >> Right.
But interestingly, MK's defense is not combating these charges with any kind of insanity defense. Which I mean, I feel
like that would be a struggle to pull off, given that 6:00 a.m. call he made. Like, you're lucid enough to call 911
about Roy like worried about his state. >> Right. So, if he wasn't experiencing an
episode of psychosis, and he did murder Amber like police allege and the prosecution alleges,
then what was that call? Was this premeditated? Was he trying to frame Roy with that
call? I mean, it might be totally unrelated, but pointing the finger at Roy does seem to be the strategy for
MK's defense.
