Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the brutal 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer and the teenager who took her life, Christa Pike. Lured to a remote spot on the University of Tennessee campus by fellow Knoxville Job Corps students, Colleen was tortured for nearly an hour before she was killed. Pike, just 18 at the time, would go on to become one of the youngest women sentenced to death in modern U.S. history. Three decades later, her case made headlines again when Tennessee’s attempt to execute her failed. Candice explores how a childhood marked by neglect, horrific abuse, and instability shaped Pike’s desperate need for attachment and control, and examines how those early wounds may have turned a petty grudge into an act of unthinkable cruelty.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Randy Kraft, known as the Scorecard Killer, one of the most prolific and elusive serial killers in California history. For over a decade, young men vanished along Southern California’s freeways, their deaths often mistaken for accidents or overdoses and their cases scattered across jurisdictions that never compared notes. What investigators finally uncovered was a handwritten list of 61 cryptic entries that reduced human lives to a word or two – one that detectives are still decoding today. Candice examines how an outwardly ordinary man killed for years in plain sight, and why some of the names on his scorecard are only now, decades later, finally being given back to the families who lost them.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.
