Profiling Evil

Gamut Podcast Network

The Profiling Evil Podcast delves into unsolved criminal cases from around the world, peeling back the layers of human behavior to reveal what drives evil. We look into the mind of the predator—their motivations, their victim selection, and the patterns that expose them. Each episode goes beyond headlines, examining how investigators identify red flags, connect the dots, and capitalize on the very errors offenders believe will never be found.

Your host, Mike King, brings over four decades of experience in criminal justice and behavioral analysis. A retired law enforcement executive, Mike served as Chief of Staff to Utah Attorney General Jan Graham and Weber County Attorney Reed M. Richards. He began his career at the Ogden Police Department, where he worked patrol, motor enforcement, and SWAT before moving into investigations where he led task forces that hunted serial predators and violent offenders.

Mike’s expertise earned him national recognition. He served as co-chair of the FBI’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) National Advisory Board, directed UTAP, the Utah Criminal Tracking and Analysis Project, and supported intelligence operations during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.

After retiring from public service, Mike joined the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), where he spent years consulting with police agencies around the globe on intelligence gathering, emergency communications, and major event management. In 2024, he retired again, this time to focus full-time on Profiling Evil and its growing community of true crime investigators, students, and enthusiasts.

Mike is an internationally recognized speaker, trainer, and adjunct professor, as well as a visiting scholar at multiple universities. He’s authored several acclaimed works on crime and human behavior, including:

· Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

· Deceived: An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult

· She Knew No Fear

· Who Killed King Tut?

· Predators: Who Are They and How Do We Stop Them?

· Profilers

Mike’s investigative insight and behavioral expertise have been featured on Court TV, NewsNation, Law & Crime Network, Dr. Phil, History’s Greatest Mysteries, and 60 Minutes Australia, where his calm, analytical style helps audiences understand the why behind the world’s most chilling crimes.

At @ProfilingEvil, you’ll find deep dives into real investigations, expert analysis of offender behavior, and lessons in situational awareness and safety. It’s more than storytelling, it’s about learning how to recognize, understand, and ultimately disrupt evil.

Lindsay Clancy Trial, Doctor Shopping or a Mother Desperate for Help? | Profiling Evil
The Lindsay Clancy trial has moved into the psychiatric care she received before she killed her three children, and the testimony is raising difficult questions about fragmented treatment, repeated medication changes, telehealth and what people mean when they accuse a patient of “doctor shopping.” In this episode, I lay out how many providers were involved, what Lindsay may have been seeking, what the treatment history gives the defense and what it does not prove about criminal responsibility. I also examine defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s aggressive cross-examination of Dr. Jennifer Tufts, including the disputed notation about “not hyper” and “pressured speech.” Was Dr. Tufts changing her explanation, or did the defense turn a poorly written line into something far larger than the evidence supports? I’ll also explain why the attack reminded me of a lesson I learned as an investigator: when the evidence itself is difficult to attack, the defense may attack the investigation or the person responsible for interpreting it. #LindsayClancy #JenniferTufts #KevinReddington #PatrickClancy #Duxbury #Massachusetts #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #Court #MentalHealth #PostpartumPsychosis #Telehealth #CriminalResponsibility #ProfilingEvil ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chris Watts Wants to Marry Again: What Draws Women to Convicted Killers?| Profiling Evil
Chris Watts is serving life without parole for murdering his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their daughters, Bella and Celeste. Now, Lizzie Henderson has publicly confirmed that she is in a relationship with Watts, while reporting says she moved from Ohio to Wisconsin, visited him 23 times in about fifteen months, sought to change her surname and joined him in requesting permission to marry. In this episode, I separate what Henderson has said herself from details attributed to other outlets, examine what is known about the relationship, and ask why a woman would build a future around a man who destroyed his own family. I compare the case with Richard Ramirez and Doreen Lioy, including my friend Phil Carlo’s firsthand view of their prison wedding, and use the available research to explain attraction to notorious offenders, rescue fantasies, controlled intimacy, denial, notoriety and the very unusual relationship structure created by prison walls. #ChrisWatts #LizzieHenderson #ShanannWatts #BellaWatts #CelesteWatts #RichardRamirez #DoreenLioy #PhilCarlo #Waupun #Wisconsin #Ohio #PrisonMarriage #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #ProfilingEvil #NightStalker #Murder #Homicide #Profiling #Behavior #crime #criminal ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who Sees the Risk? What Men and Women Notice Before Danger | Profiling Evil
Why can two people walk through the same place and notice completely different warning signs? In this special Profiling Evil episode, we’ll draw on lessons from law-enforcement and behavioral-analysis alongside a fascinating peer-reviewed study by Robert A. Chaney, PhD, Alyssa Baer, MPH, and L. Ida Tovar, MPH. The researchers asked 571 college students to examine campus walking environments under changing conditions of lighting and entrapment. Women tended to focus more on bushes, darkness, and areas outside the path, while men tended to focus more directly on the path ahead. Those differences don’t tell us that one gender is naturally better at detecting danger, nor does the study measure actual victimization or predict who would avoid an attack. What it gives us is a useful way to think about our environment and the blind spots that increase our chances of being victimized. We’ll explore how offenders take advantage of location, situation and circumstances to get the upper hand on their intended victims and we’ll talk about how simple choices can lower exposure without surrendering your freedom. This conversation is about prevention, not blame and it’s all about giving good people more options and making predatory behavior harder to carry out. #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimePrevention #PersonalSafety #SituationalAwareness #ProfilingEvil #CriminalBehavior #BehavioralAnalysis #LawEnforcement #CampusSafety #WomensSafety #MensSafety #SafetyTips #CrimeAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS #BYU ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Lindsay Clancy Trial: Can the State Win on Emotion? | Profiling Evil
Days seven and eight of the Lindsay Clancy trial brought the jury toxicology results, DNA findings, testimony from the children’s former nanny, friends and relatives, and deeply difficult medical evidence concerning the murders of Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy. In this episode, I explain what that testimony added to the prosecution’s case, what it may have handed to the defense, and why the emotional force of this trial may become as important as the legal arguments over criminal responsibility. I also examine a harder question of whether a public murder trial is the best available form of justice when nobody disputes who killed these three children, but the parties sharply disagree about whether their mother was legally responsible because of psychosis. Finally, I look at the decision to have two women prosecute this case and why it would be irresponsible to assume that female prosecutors, or female jurors re naturally less sympathetic to postpartum mental illness. What matters is how the evidence is framed, how credibility is built, and whether the jury can separate the horror of the result from the legal question it must answer. #LindsayClancy #CoraClancy #DawsonClancy #CallanClancy #PatrickClancy #Duxbury #Massachusetts #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #Court #PostpartumPsychosis #MentalHealth #CriminalResponsibility #ProfilingEvil ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lindsay Clancy Speaks in Court: What Her Forensic Stipulation Really Means | Profiling Evil
Lindsay Clancy spoke in court for the first time during her trial and personally agreed to a broad stipulation covering important parts of the Commonwealth’s forensic case. That was not a guilty plea, and it did not abandon her defense. It simply means prosecutors will not spend days proving evidence the defense does not seriously dispute. In this episode, I look at what Lindsay agreed to, what we learned from the medical, medication, journal and bloodstain testimony on Monday and Tuesday, and how both sides are moving toward the real question in this trial: Was Lindsay criminally responsible when she killed Cora, Dawson and Callan, or did severe mental illness leave her unable to understand the wrongfulness of her actions or control her conduct? #LindsayClancy #CoraClancy #DawsonClancy #CallanClancy #PatrickClancy #Duxbury #Massachusetts #PostpartumPsychosis #MentalHealth #TrueCrime #Court #ProfilingEvil ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One Author or Two? The Language Behind the Nancy Guthrie Ransom Notes
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has released two messages connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. One demands millions in Bitcoin and threatens her life. The other claims she died shortly after being taken and was “buried in nature.” In this episode, we examine the communications using forensic linguistics, behavioral threat-assessment principles and practical law-enforcement investigative standards. What do the shifts from “we” to “me,” from control to apology, and from “will be killed” to “we never intended to hurt her” begins to tell us about the writer. Do the notes suggest they were written by the same author, or several? And what can responsibly be said about the writer’s personality presentation, writing ability, education and sophistication—and what would cross the line into speculation? #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #ProfilingEvil #PimaCountySheriff #ChrisNanos #FBI #RansomNote #ForensicLinguistics #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminalProfiling #MissingPerson #KidnappingInvestigation #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeNews #CrimeNews ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nancy Guthrie DNA SETBACK, Apalachee Sentences and the Clancy Trial | Profiling Evil
This week’s lead story is the Nancy Guthrie investigation, where Sheriff Chris Nanos says testing of a hair recovered from her Arizona home did not point to a suspect and a separate DNA mixture involving as many as four people remains under examination by laboratories across the country. The forensic update follows Savannah Guthrie’s new video asking whoever took her mother to tell the family where to look, language that may be intended to reach an accomplice or somebody with partial knowledge as well as the principal offender. We also cover the life-without-parole sentence for Colt Gray and the 15-year sentence for his father in the Apalachee High School case, the opening testimony in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts murder trial and the British conviction of Johannes Kongsnes Natland in an international murder-for-hire plan. The behavioral focus throughout is on preparation, access, communication, control and the difference between confirmed evidence and reasonable inference. #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #CatalinaFoothills #Tucson #Arizona #ColtGray #ColinGray #RichardAspinwall #CristinaIrimie #MasonSchermerhorn #ChristianAngulo #Winder #Georgia #BarrowCounty #LindsayClancy #CoraClancy #DawsonClancy #CallanClancy #Duxbury #Plymouth #Massachusetts #JohannesNatland #Huddersfield #London #England #Iran #UnitedKingdom #Norway #SchoolShooting #MissingPerson #Kidnapping #Murder #Court ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lindsay Clancy Trial, Murder or Psychosis? Breaking Down Both Opening Statements | Profiling Evil
The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy begins with two radically different accounts of the same tragedy. Prosecutors allege that Clancy deliberately created a window of time, sent her husband away, and methodically killed their three children before attempting to take her own life. The defense does not dispute that she caused the children’s deaths. Instead, it argues that months of deteriorating mental health, severe insomnia, suicidal thinking, psychiatric treatment, medication changes, and alleged command hallucinations culminated in psychosis. In this Profiling Evil review, we examine the opening statements point by point: what each side claims, how the same facts are framed differently, and what the prosecution must prove to establish criminal responsibility. This episode contains discussion of child deaths, suicide, and severe mental illness. Viewer discretion is advised. #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #TrueCrime #CourtroomAnalysis #TrialAnalysis #OpeningStatements #CriminalJustice #MentalHealthAndLaw #PostpartumPsychosis #ProfilingEvil #Murder #mentalillness #psychosis #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS #Police #Court #Defendant #Prosecution #Trial #Homicide #Infanticide #ChildAbuse #DomesticViolence #DV ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

D4vd Evidence Hearing, Rushdie’s Terrorism Trial and a Cartel Life Sentence | Profiling Evil
This week, we’re looking at four cases that have reached very different points in the legal process. In Los Angeles, a judge is hearing the evidence prosecutors say connects musician David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. In Buffalo, Hadi Matar is on trial on federal terrorism charges stemming from the 2022 attack on author Salman Rushdie. In Brooklyn, longtime Sinaloa Cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada has been sentenced to life in federal prison. And in Greece, a court has refused to extradite James Dalamangas to Australia over the 1999 killing of George Giannopoulos. These cases involve allegations of concealment, movement toward a specific target, organized criminal leadership and the limits of international extradition. As always, allegations and charges are not convictions unless a court has reached that result. #DavidBurke #D4vd #CelesteHernandez #CelesteRivasHernandez #HadiMatar #SalmanRushdie #IsmaelZambada #ElMayo #JamesDalamangas #ElChapo #Guzman #Cartel #GeorgeGiannopoulos #LosAngeles #HollywoodHills #California #Chautauqua #Buffalo #NewYork #Brooklyn #Sinaloa #Mexico #Sydney #NewSouthWales #Australia #Greece #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #Murder #Homicide #Court ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who Really Stole the Mona Lisa? The Louvre Heist That Fooled the World | Profiling Evil
n 1911, the Mona Lisa vanished from the wall of the Louvre Museum in the center of Paris. One morning she was hanging in the Salon Carré, and shortly after, the most recognizable painting in the world was gone. What followed was a two-year investigation filled with bad assumptions, conflicting witnesses, media pressure, false suspects, radical artists, wealthy collectors, and one ordinary man who may have fooled everyone by looking like he belonged. In this episode, we’ll look at the theft of the Mona Lisa from a criminal behavior and investigative perspective. Was this the work of a professional thief? A museum insider? A wealthy collector? Or was the real offender hiding in plain sight all along? I just returned from Paris, where the Mona Lisa still draws huge crowds. That trip sparked a fresh look at this historic case I participated in discussing the case with other experts and Lawrence Fishburne on History’s Greatest Mysteries. We looked beyond the art mystery and into opportunity, offender behavior, investigative assumptions, and how one theft helped turn the Mona Lisa into a worldwide icon. Let’s examine the empty frame, the missing doorknob, the early use of fingerprint evidence and the suspicion around Eddie Guerin, Pablo Picasso , Guillaume Apollinaire, J.P. Morgan and a relatively unknown Italian named Vincenzo Peruggia. #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #WhoStoleTheMonaLisa #MonaLisa #MonaLisaHeist #Louvre #LouvreMuseum #Paris #France #ArtCrime #ArtHeist #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimePodcast #TrueCrimeYouTube #CrimeHistory #HistoryMystery #FamousHeists #CriminalBehavior #CriminalProfiling #Investigation #ColdCase #SolvedMystery #LeonardoDaVinci #VincenzoPeruggia #PabloPicasso #JPMorgan #Mystery #CrimeStory #TrueCrimeFans ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Top Three Crime Cases! Murdered Family Targeted, Deputy Shot & Scientist Murdered | Profiling Evil
Today I’m looking at the targeted killing of five relatives in East St. Louis, the evidence presented against the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, the fatal shooting of Deputy U.S. Marshal Drew Hanson in Louisiana and the robbery-homicide case involving American marine biologist Kent Carpenter in the Philippines. Along with the basic facts and current court status, we’ll discuss the behavioral patterns investigators may be examining, including possible planning, victim selection, escalation and actions taken after the crimes. This is not an attempt to diagnose anyone from a distance. These are practical observations based only on publicly reported allegations, and every suspect or defendant discussed here is presumed innocent unless convicted. #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #Murder #Homicide #Court #JaymeirDavis #PatriciaMay #CherieMay #DevinMay #QuentinThompson #ShaniaThompson #Illinois #TylerRobinson #CharlieKirk #Provo #Utah #ClarenceFrazier #DrewHanson #AlexandriaLA #Louisiana #KentCarpenter #Philippines ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How SMART People Get Pulled Into Cults with Sarah Edmondson and Nippy Ames | Profiling Evil
In this episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with Sarah Edmondson and Anthony “Nippy” Ames from A Little Bit Culty for a raw and honest conversation about cult behavior, coercive control, undue influence and the slow erosion of personal autonomy. They were inside NXIVM, the organization led by Keith Raniere, who was convicted in federal court in 2019 of racketeering, sex trafficking, attempted sex trafficking, forced labor conspiracy and other crimes. In 2020, Raniere was sentenced to 120 years in prison. But this conversation isn’t just about NXIVM. It’s about how control can be disguised as self-improvement, leadership training, discipline, personal growth, spiritual development or belonging. Sarah and Nippy explain how people don’t usually walk into a destructive group knowing what it really is. They walk in because they’re looking for purpose, community, answers, confidence, healing or a better version of themselves. That’s what makes this discussion so important. We talk about the first hooks, the love bombing, the status systems, the pressure to ignore red flags, the “us versus them” thinking, the sunk cost fallacy, the fear of admitting you were wrong and the painful moment when a person finally realizes the leader is not who they claimed to be. Sarah shares how her intuition warned her early, but how those warnings were slowly trained out of her. Nippy talks about susceptibility, blind spots, loyalty, shame and why assuming “that could never happen to me” may be one of the most dangerous beliefs a person can carry. Their podcast, A Little Bit Culty, focuses on helping people understand, heal from and avoid abusive systems “one little red flag at a time,” and their book, A Little Bit Culty, is described as a guide to understanding how manipulation and control take hold, and how people can begin to break free. From a criminal behavior perspective, this episode looks at how predatory personalities study vulnerability. They don’t always begin with threats. Often, they begin with charm, praise, status, access and the promise that you can become something better if you’ll just trust the process. That’s where control gets dangerous. Not when it looks obvious, but when it looks helpful. This is a conversation for parents, students, true crime followers, faith communities, business leaders, coaches, creators and anyone who wants to better understand coercive control before it reaches the point of crisis. Because cult tactics aren’t limited to cults. They can show up in relationships, workplaces, political movements, wellness groups, online communities, business cultures and anywhere a person uses trust to gain power over someone else. #ProfilingEvil #ALittleBitCulty #SarahEdmondson #NippyAmes #NXIVM #KeithRaniere #CoerciveControl #UndueInfluence #CultBehavior #CultSurvivors #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeCon #CriminalBehavior #PredatorBehavior #Manipulation #Gaslighting #LoveBombing #PsychologicalControl #SurvivorVoices #CrimeAnalysis #BehavioralAnalysis #CultRecovery #RedFlags #TrueCrimePodcast #MappingEvil ======================================== A Little Bit Culty: https://alittlebitculty.com/ ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What Nancy Guthrie Ransom Tell Us & What They Don’t. Looking Beyond the Letters | Profiling Evil
The Nancy Guthrie investigation continues to generate questions, speculation, and plenty of opinions. Over the last several days, we’ve learned more about one man who admitted sending fraudulent communications connected to the case, but it doesn’t answer the larger questions that still haunt Nancy’s family and investigators. Let’s examine the behavioral differences between genuine offender communications and hoaxes. We’ll talk about why investigators compare statements the way they do, why the FBI’s recent wording deserves attention, and what we really know, what we don’t know, and why patience is still important in a complex investigation. Can this case still be solved? Why just one authentic communication hidden among several hoaxes could still become the breakthrough investigators need and why public frustration doesn’t automatically mean law enforcement has failed. #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #MissingPerson #FBI #Tucson #Arizona #BehavioralAnalysis #CrimeNews #CriminalProfiling #Investigation #JusticeForNancy #ColdCase #StatementAnalysis #Victimology #CrimeInvestigation #LawEnforcement #TrueCrimeCommunity #BreakingNews #CrimeAnalysis #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fanatics, Red Flags, and Donald Trump’s White House Outdoor Fight | Profiling Evil
Federal prosecutors have announced arrests tied to an alleged plot to attack the #UFCFreedom250 event at the White House. According to the Department of Justice, the alleged plan included explosive-laden drones, forced crowd movement, and sniper fire aimed at government officials and others attending the event. This episode is not about politics. It is about behavior. Let’s look at this case through the lens of criminal behavior, threat assessment, leakage, grievance, fanaticism, online reinforcement, and the warning signs that can appear before targeted violence. This is a practical discussion about how dangerous people move from anger, to identity, to planning, and how normal people can recognize red flags before tragedy happens. #DonaldTrump #TrueCrime #Crime #Behavior #Threat #PublicSafety #RedFlags #TargetedViolence #ViolencePrevention #FBI #SecretService #BehavioralAnalysis #OnlineRadicalization #Fanaticism #CrimeNews #BreakingNews #UFC #UFCFreedom250 #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeAnalysis #ViolencePrevention #WhiteHouse #Politics ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Charlie Kirk vs. Tyler Robinson. The Fight Over What the Public Gets to Hear | Profiling Evil
The Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing is less about dramatic testimony and more about the fight over what the judge, the public, the media, and eventually a jury pool should be allowed to hear before trial. Investigators testified about the investigation after Robinson turned himself in, Robinson’s roommate and his statement and whether it will be admitted into evidence. Prosecutors wanted the audio played in open court and the defense is fighting it because they believe it contains statements the state will later characterize as confessions. Erika Kirk, victim Charlie Kirk’s widow is pushing for full transparency and asked the court to allow the evidence to be made public for the world to see. It seems the court will bind Robinson over for trial, the evidence has been overwhelming that he was on the campus, in proximity of where the shot was fired from and recorded fleeing the area with something that could be considered a weapon in his hands after the shot. So why is this judge being so cautious? Is it concerns of later appeals, the fact this is happening on a global scale or is he simply being a judge and considering whether public trust, media coverage, conspiracy claims, and the defendant’s rights are balanced. Don’t forget, Tyler Robinson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #TylerRobinson #CharlieKirk #CharlieKirkCase #ErikaKirk #CharlieKirkMurder #UtahValleyUniversity #UVU #PreliminaryHearing #AgentBrianDavis #LanceTwiggs #ErikaKirk #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CourtroomCoverage #LegalAnalysis #DeathPenaltyCase #CriminalJustice #UtahNews #BreakingNews #CourtCase #BehavioralAnalysis #TrialWatch #PublicAccess #JusticeSystem ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Will Utah Prove That Tyler Robinson Killed Charlie Kirk | Profiling Evil
Agent Hull’s testimony in the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing gave us a much better look at how prosecutors are trying to move this case forward. The judge is not deciding guilt at this stage, instead he’s trying to determine if there is reasonable cause to bind Tyler Robinson over for trial in the shooting death of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Pay attention to the way investigators place Robinson on the UVU campus multiple times on the morning of the shooting, first in shorts and a red shirt, later with a blue backpack, and then later again in different clothing while walking with what Agent Hull described as “a gait or a limp.” Prosecutors used the video evidence to track the person they identify as Robinson moving toward the rooftop where he allegedly laid prone at the corner of the roof before the shot was fired. Then, he ran with something in his hands to the corner of the rooftop where he scaled down the building and ran into a nearby wooded area. He didn’t take the stairs, and the video supports the claim that the clothing matched that worn by Tyler Robinson when he was seen going to the rooftop. The important question for today is not whether every issue has been proven for trial. It’s whether the state showed enough reasonable cause to move this case forward to a trial. This powerful testimony may also support the prosecution’s larger argument about planning, preparation, premeditation, flight, and eventually a possible death penalty case. Until a decision is made by a jury, Tyler Robinson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #TylerRobinson #CharlieKirk #CharlieKirkCase #CharlieKirkMurder #UtahValleyUniversity #UVU #PreliminaryHearing #AgentHull #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CourtroomCoverage #LegalAnalysis #DeathPenaltyCase #CriminalJustice #SurveillanceVideo #BehavioralAnalysis #UtahNews #CrimeNews #BreakingNews #AggravatedMurder #CourtCase #TrialWatch ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Charlie Kirk UPDATE! Preliminary hearing underway in case of Tyler Robinson | Profiling Evil
Day one of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing in Utah was exactly what I expected it to be, slow, procedural, and at times rather painful. This was not opening statements in a trial. This was the prosecution beginning the process of showing the judge that there is enough probable cause to send the aggravated murder case against Tyler Robinson forward to trial in the shooting death of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Let’s examine the first day of testimony that included the presence of Charlie Kirk’s widow and family. We heard from the officer who discovered the shooters “sniper pad” and saw and heard from video, graphic evidence and parts of the autopsy report. The defense scored a win when the judge refused to admit a prosecution-created video compilation because it had been altered with zooms, red circles, and other edits. We’ll also look at what the prosecution seems to value the most right now in the form of video, geography, line of sight analysis and a careful chain from the shooting scene to the suspected escape route. I also want to discuss what the state seemed to avoid on day one, including deeper motive evidence, DNA, ballistics, etched rounds, and any full discussion of alleged admissions. You’ll be surprised with the number of defense objections in this first day of testimony when they argued repeatedly against photos, videos and even written statements. I’m left wondering if this foretells of motions and appeals down the road. #TylerRobinson #CharlieKirk #CharlieKirkMurder #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CourtroomCoverage #PreliminaryHearing #UtahCrime #UtahValleyUniversity #CriminalJustice #DeathPenaltyCase #BreakingCrimeNews #TrueCrimeNews #CourtTV #LawAndCrime #CrimeAnalysis #CriminalBehavior #JusticeForCharlie #MurderTrial #Esri #GIS #ArcGIS #crime #crimemapping ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing Begins in Charlie Kirk Murder Case | Profiling Evil
The Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing is underway in Provo, Utah, and this could give the public its first real look at the evidence in the Charlie Kirk murder case. Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in the shooting death of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty if he is convicted. This is a preliminary hearing, where the judge decides whether there is enough evidence to move the case forward. The hearing will show us how the state plans to prove identification, intent, motive and aggravating factors as they actively pursue the death penalty. It can also show us how the defense may counter the case, challenge the evidence, object to testimony, and begin laying the groundwork for trial. #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #TylerRobinson #CharlieKirk #CharlieKirkCase #UtahCrime #UtahNews #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeNews #CourtroomCoverage #PreliminaryHearing #DeathPenaltyCase #CriminalJustice #BreakingNews #LegalAnalysis #CourtCase #ForensicEvidence #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrimeDiscussion ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Did Larry Murder Maya Millete? What to Watch for in Closing Arguments | Profiling Evil
The Larry Millete murder trial in San Diego is now moving toward closing arguments. Prosecutors spent nearly a month laying out their case that May “Maya” Millete did not simply walk away from her life, her children, her job, and her family. They argue that her husband, Larry Millete, killed her after their marriage collapsed, after she sought divorce information, and after he became increasingly desperate to keep control of the relationship. The defense put on a much shorter case, calling only three witnesses in a single day, and focused on reasonable doubt: no body, no confirmed cause of death, no obvious crime scene, K9 searches that did not detect human remains in the home, questions about surveillance coverage, and the possibility that Maya could have left unseen. Let’s examine the prosecution’s theory, the defense response and key testimony as we look to the closing arguments. #MayaMillete #LarryMillete #MilleteTrial #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #ProfilingEvil #MissingPerson #NoBodyCase #SanDiegoCrime #ChulaVista #JusticeForMaya #CrimeAnalysis #CriminalBehavior #DomesticViolenceAwareness #CoerciveControl #CourtroomAnalysis #TrialWatch #ClosingArguments #MurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #ArcGIS #Esri #GIS #Mapping #crime ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
