Profiling Evil

Opening statements are done and the federal trial of former Stoughton police officer Matthew Farwell is underway. He’s charged with strangling 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore and staging her death as a suicide. Let’s walk through the opening statements and see the prosecution's case that Farwell groomed Birchmore from the time she was 15. Then he killed her to protect his career and his public life. His defense team claims Birchmore took her own life after he broke up with her. The first bit of courtroom testimony will grab you if you’re already not watching this trial unfold.#MatthewFarwell #SandraBirchmore #Stoughton #Boston #Trial #TrueCrime #crime #criminal #murder #homicide #coercivecontrol #grooming #ProfilingEvil #OpeningStatements #WitnessTampering #badcop #justice========================================Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Closing arguments began today in the trial of David Prevatte, charged in the 2017 death of his five-year-old niece Paitin Fields. Let’s explore the prosecution and defense closing statements. Why does the prosecution put on gloves to show evidence and the defense doesn’t? Is there a silent statement being made. In this trial, I see two paths to first-degree murder the state laid out, how they defended Savannah's testimony, and the evidence they say points to David and no one else. Don’t miss the defense closing and the compelling points they make, even though the prosecution and the judge had to correct the defense multiple times.#DavidPrevatte #PaitinFields #JusticeForPaitin #PenderCounty #NorthCarolina #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #ClosingArguments #FirstDegreeMurder #TrialUpdate #Courtroom #ChildVictims========================================Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nine years after five-year-old Paitin Fields was found dead in 2017, her uncle David Prevatte is standing trial in North Carolina, charged with her murder. In this episode, we’ll walk through the pivotal moment when both sides rested their cases: the judge's ruling that dismissed the statutory rape charge but kept first-degree murder and statutory sexual offense alive, Prevatte's decision not to take the witness stand, and what comes next as closing arguments begin. I want to break down the North Carolina law as I see it and explain why the DNA evidence fell short on one specific legal element. Then I’ll lay out what the jury will be asked to decide when deliberations start. Then you will hear the judge in his own words as the state and defense rest and this case turns toward its verdict.#DavidPrevatte #PaitinFields #JusticeForPaitin #PenderCounty #NorthCarolina #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #TrialUpdate #FirstDegreeMurder #ClosingArguments #Courtroom #ChildVictims #Predators #WolvesInSheepsClothing========================================Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Season 6 of American Nightmares is coming, and this time the story moves to Phoenix, Arizona, for a case known as The Canal Murders. In this special bridge episode between Season 5 and Season 6, Dan Zampillo sits down with retired investigator and criminal behavior expert Mike King, along with documentary filmmaker and journalist Brian Peter Falk, to talk about where American Nightmares has been and where it is going next.Season 5, Gardens of Evil, explored the Zion Society case and the long-term impact of child sexual abuse, criminal investigation, survivor voices, and the responsibility of telling painful stories with care. Mike reflects on what it was like to reopen a case he had buried for decades, reconnect with victims who are now adults, and see the story give voice to people who had carried trauma for years. Then the conversation turns to Season 6, The Canal Murders.In the early 1990s, two young women were brutally murdered while riding their bikes along the canal system in Phoenix. What followed was a decades-long investigation filled with false starts, cold case work, forensic genealogy, missed opportunities, and lingering questions about whether the man eventually tied to the crimes may have left a longer trail of violence. Brian Peter Falk shares what makes this case so compelling, including thousands of pages of police files, interviews with retired detectives, the role of local journalism, and the work required to understand a case that has been largely lost to time. Mike adds a criminal behavior perspective, explaining why cold case investigators often begin with the victim, the crime scene, and the environment before jumping to the suspect.This episode also looks at the relationship between law enforcement, journalism, podcasts, victims’ families, and the public. It asks difficult questions about justice, closure, family advocacy, technology, forensic genealogy, and what it means to keep a case alive decades after the crime. The Canal Murders is not just a story about two homicides. It is a story about memory, persistence, cold case investigation, victimology, and the possibility that one predator’s trail may be longer than anyone first understood. Listen to American Nightmares wherever you get your podcasts, and catch Season 6 when The Canal Murders begins.#AmericanNightmares #TheCanalMurders #CanalMurders #PhoenixArizona #PhoenixCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase #ColdCaseInvestigation #ForensicGenealogy #DNAEvidence #Victimology #CriminalBehavior #MikeKing #ProfilingEvil #BrianPeterFalk #TrueCrimeCommunity #UnsolvedCases #SolvedColdCase #JusticeForVictims #PodcastRecommendation #TrueCrimeStories #CrimeInvestigation #HomicideInvestigation #ColdCaseFiles #arizonacrime ========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://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=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

14 years after a 19-year-old college sophomore named Faith Hedgepeth was found beaten to death in her apartment, the trial of Miguel Salguero-Olivares is finally underway. A jury settled in for the opening statements by the prosecution and defense in a case that baffled investigators for more than a decade. The state claims that Olivares left DNA everywhere on the victim, in the victim and through the crime scene, and that he killed her in a fit of rage after creeping through an unlocked door. The defense says the state's DNA case has holes you could drive a truck through, attacking the chain of custody, the handling of evidence, and the unanswered questions around the investigation. In this episode we break down both opening statements with actual courtroom video, walk through the night of September 6-7, 2012, the nine years the case sat cold, the genetic genealogy breakthrough, and what to watch as testimony continues, including the cross-examination of roommate Karena Rosario.#MiguelSalgueroOlivares #FaithHedgepeth #murder #unsolved #DNA #forensic #truecrime #trial #coldcase #justiceforfaith #ProfilingEvil #CourtTV #OpeningStatements #KarenaRosario #ChapelHill #DurhamNC========================================Website: www.ProfilingEvil.com========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
