Remember that idiotic "body language experts" vid? I made a cryptic comment in that thread:

"I'm actually very interested in something that Chase hinted at way earlier in the vid, and said that he would get back to later - he's spotted something that dovetails very curiously with something I've spotted and not yet heard anyone mention, and I wanna (oops!) know if he's going to end up where I went...."
And, because they never went anywhere near what I had surmised, there was no need to revisit what I was being coy about. Well, that and the suitability of what I thought for posting generally. Which of course still applies, but I went through the effort of watching and thinking, so I'm gonna dump what I thought back then here and now, and be done with it.
This is "where I went" last year:
- he came over as having relationship or home issues.
- he also came over has having some reputational-damage thing already hanging over his head (maybe something even "blackmaily").
- note, those weren't necessarily different, nor necessarily the same, I don't have infinite precision.
Two months later the substance abuse and mental health reports, including the police report of him asking his wife to kill him, broke. You can imagine my surprise.
