Murder in a Safe Place, The Sherry Crandell Case | Profiling Evil

In 1998, 50-year-old nurse and hospital administrator Sherry Crandell was raped and murdered inside her office at Prince George’s Hospital Center — a place she should have been safe. Despite DNA, fingerprints, and even an eyewitness, the case stalled for almost 30 years.In this episode, I sit down with investigative journalist Paul Wagner, host of American Nightmares: Murder in a Safe Place, to break down the crime that shook Cheverly, Maryland. We explore the original investigation, the controversial DNA dragnet inside the hospital, and the relentless work of a retired detective who refused to let this case die.Most importantly, we look at how investigative genetic genealogy finally identified Edward Barry Watts — also known as Baari Shabazz — as the man who murdered Sherry Crandell in 2025. Paul’s reporting played a major role in keeping attention on this cold case, and today we talk about what this long-awaited breakthrough means for Sherry’s family and for the future of genetic genealogy in solving violent crimes.If you follow cold cases, genealogy-based investigations, or behind-the-scenes reporting from the people who never quit, this conversation will take you deeper than the headlines ever did.#ProfilingEvil #MurderInASafePlace #AmericanNightmares #SherryCrandell #PrinceGeorgesHospital #CheverlyMaryland #ColdCase #GeneticGenealogy #BaariShabazz #EdwardWatts #BernieNelson #FBI #HospitalMurder #VictimJustice #TrueCrimePodcast #InvestigativeJournalism #PodcastInterview=======================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL?💳 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.

Reiner Murders and What We Know | Profiling Evil

The investigation into the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner has taken a decisive turn, with prosecutors now filing murder charges and a special allegation involving the personal use of a knife. In this episode, we walk through the latest updates from LAPD, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, and the District Attorney’s Office, while examining how family stress, long-standing addiction issues, and holiday pressure can quietly escalate into irreversible violence. This is what we know so far — and why this case matters far beyond Rob Reiner and the Reiner family.

From Booze to Bloodshed! PLUS Feedback Friday’s Ask Mike Anything | Profiling Evil

It starts small. A stolen bottle of liquor. A missing wallet. A petty theft in the night. But for some individuals, crime isn’t a one-off, it’s a sliding scale, a dark spiral downward. Let’s examine how Antonio Brown, an alcoholic, homeless man moved from petty theft to what would become a brutal homicide. This isn’t about sensational headlines. It’s about the dangerous dynamics of escalation — when opportunity, desperation, and violence collide. An in-depth look at the tragic 2022 death of 77-year-old Eleanor Bowles at the hands of 23-year-old Antonio Brown — tracing a path from alleged minor thefts to a violent car theft-turned-homicide, exploring psychological escalation, criminal history, and what may have tipped this suspect over the edge. #AntonioBrown #EleanorBowles #AtlantaPD #RobberyToMurder #CriminalEscalation #ProfilingEvil #TripleMurder #Odessa #Texas #triplehomicide #15yroldEmail 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

BONUS: Mind Over Murder? Georgia Law & Sarah Grace Patrick | Profiling Evil

When a defense team orders a psychological evaluation just weeks before trial, it’s never accidental and it’s never meaningless. In this episode of Profiling Evil, we take a careful, plain-spoken look at the developing case of Sarah Grace Patrick, charged in Carroll County, Georgia, with the murders of her mother, Kristen Brock, and her stepfather, James Brock. As the case moves closer to trial, new questions are emerging about mental health, legal strategy, and whether a jury could be asked to consider an insanity-related defense under Georgia law. The episode talks about the mental health evaluation, what it means and what it does not mean. Under Georgia’s narrow insanity standard, mental illness alone is not enough. So why pursue an evaluation now? Is this about an insanity defense, a guilty-but-mentally-ill verdict, mitigation, or simply preparing for the weight of the evidence the state may present? If you want to understand the strategy, the risks, and the reality behind the headlines, this is a conversation worth having.#SarahGracePatrick #KristenBrock #JamesBrock #CarrollCountyGA #CarrollCounty #SuperiorCourt #GeorgiaLaw #GeorgiaCourts #InsanityDefense #MentalHealthDefense #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimeAnalysis #CriminalPsychology #ProfilingEvil #CourtTV #TrueCrimeYouTube #TrueCrimePodcast========================================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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Missing Melodee Buzzard, & Ashlee Buzzard’s Silence | Profiling Evil

Missing Melodee Buzzard, & Ashlee Buzzard’s Silence | Profiling EvilNine-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished somewhere along the Utah-Colorado border after a strange cross-country trip with her mother, Ashlee Buzzard—a journey involving wigs, license-plate swaps, and days of evasive travel through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Nebraska. Ashlee Buzzard returned the rental car alone… and has refused to say where Melodee Buzzard is.In this Profiling Evil breakdown, Mike King teams up with former Los Angeles prosecutor and criminal-defense attorney Joshua Ritter—host of Courtroom Confidential and The Sidebar—to examine the legal side of this heartbreaking case. Together, they discuss what investigators need before charging a parent, how digital forensics will guide this search, how the FBI’s involvement shifts the investigation, and what mental-health claims do (and do not) change in a missing-child case. If you know anything about the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard, contact the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office at 805-681-4150 or submit an anonymous tip at 805-681-4171.#MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #JoshuaRitter #MikeKing #ProfilingEvil #MissingChild #Lompoc #SantaBarbaraSheriff #UtahColoradoBorder #InterstateInvestigation #FBI #DigitalForensics #LicensePlateSwap #RentalCarEvidence #WigDisguise #ChildEndangerment #CustodialInterference #TrueCrimeCommunity #CourtroomConfidential #TheSidebar #SearchForMelodee #AmberAlertNotIssued #Colorado #Utah #Nebraska #CaliforniaCrime #RexburgPolice #RayHermosillo #LegalAnalysis #CriminalLaw #InvestigativeBreakdownCourtroom Confidential: https://www.youtube.com/@CRConfidential========================================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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Holiday Hope Meets Hidden Danger, The Rob Reiner & Bondi Beach Tragedies | Profiling Evil

This Rob Reiner story is one of those stories that makes you stop and really think about what’s happening inside families when the doors are closed and the holidays are supposed to bring everyone together. In this review, we’re also going to acknowledge the tragedy at Bondi Beach, because these events didn’t happen in isolation — they reflect a broader pattern of violence and emotional fracture surfacing during moments that are meant to be about peace and connection. The Rob Reiner case forces a hard conversation about how stress, long-standing addiction issues, and unresolved family conflict can quietly build beneath the surface, even in families that love each other deeply. Let’s walk through what’s known so far, what police have said, and why these tragedies fit a pattern we see far too often when emotional pressure peaks and warning signs go unaddressed.#RobReiner #MicheleReiner #NickReiner #BondiBeach #Australia #Sydney #JewishCommunity #StarOfDavid #AntisemitismAwareness #HolidaySafety #HolidayStress #FamilyViolence #DomesticViolence #DV #DomesticRisk #FamilyCrisis #AddictionAwareness #MentalHealth #LAPD #LosAngeles #Brentwood #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #HolidayDV #ViolencePrevention #FamilyTragedy #PersonOfInterestEmail 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Chad Daybell Doesn’t Deliver. Letter #10 Changes Nothing | Profiling Evil

Chad Daybell says he’s “pausing” his Letters from Chad series so his appeals can move forward. In Letter #10, Chad Daybell blames the media, the prosecution, his own lawyer, and the justice system—but never himself. Let’s tear this letter apart line by line, showing how it’s really about damage control for Chad Daybell, narrative manipulation, and a failed marketing campaign from death row. We’ll talk about his unmentioned fourth near-death experience, his refusal to explain how he justified an affair with Lori Vallow while Tammy Daybell was alive, and how premortal-life fantasies helped him bend moral laws and, ultimately, justify murder. Through it all, we keep the focus where it belongs: on JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, Tammy Daybell, Charles Vallow, and the surviving family members like Brandon Boudreaux and Colby Ryan, who are still living with the consequences of Chad Daybell's and Lori’s choices.#ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #LoriDaybell #TammyDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #BrandonBoudreaux #ColbyRyan #AlexCox #DaybellLetters #Letter10 #IdahoMurders #ArizonaCrime #CultCrime #DoomsdayCult #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvilEmail 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/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Hike That Terrorized Micah Smith's Children | Profiling Evil

A Utah father, Micah Smith, took his three young children on what prosecutors now call a “not well planned,” “ill-prepared,” and “extremely dangerous” hike into Big Cottonwood Canyon. Hours later, two children are unconscious from hypothermia, one appears dead when rescuers arrive, and the story Micah Smith tells doesn’t match what investigators later uncover. According to the indictment, Micah Smith pushed toward the top of Broads Fork despite rain, fog, wind, and kids who repeatedly begged to go home, and he taught his 8-year-old daughter CPR because he knew help was too far away. Let’s examine the route, the behavior, the marital strains, the mental-health indicators, the previous suicide-related police encounter, and the troubling allegations prosecutors are laying out against Micah Smith.#MicahSmith #BigCottonwoodCanyon #BroadsForkTrail #SaltLakeCounty #UtahCrime #ChildTorture #ChildAbuse #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #MappingEvil #GIS #Esri #CourtTV #WasatchMountains #SearchAndRescue #Parenting #MentalHealth #DomesticStrain The Hike That Terrorized Micah Smith's Children | Profiling Evil=======================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL?💳 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.

What was Kohberger so desperate to keep hidden?

Brian Walshe Trial, Lies & Last-Minute Confessions | Profiling Evil

Profiling Evil breaks down the opening statements in the Brian Walshe murder trial, a case as bizarre as it is heartbreaking. Prosecutors say Brian Walshe murdered his wife Ana on New Year’s Day, dismembered her, and dumped her remains in trash transfer stations. The defense says Ana simply died in her sleep and that Brian Walshe panicked, dismembered her, and lied for three years because he “wanted to remain his children’s caretaker.” Let’s examine digital evidence, marital stressors, financial pressures, Walshe’s three-year deception, his last-minute confession, and the strange introduction of “Sudden Unexplained Death.” Then we’ll explore why the prosecution believes their case is airtight… and why the defense thinks they can unravel it.#AnaWalshe #BrianWalshe #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #SuddenUnexplainedDeath #OpeningStatements #CourtroomAnalysis #CriminalBehavior #DigitalForensics #JusticeForAna=======================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL?💳 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.

Beheaded Boyfriend. Secret's Out in Las Vegas! | Profiling Evil

In this Profiling Evil Bonus Episode, I’m coming to you from Las Vegas, where I’ve been speaking at a conference on reducing risk and improving personal safety. And let me tell you… after digging into this case, I couldn’t help but think some of the behavioral training we talked about at that conference might’ve come in handy for the man at the center of this story—a man who ended up married to a former porn star turned convicted executioner.It's the story of Devyn Michaels and her love-triangle beheading case—a twisted mix of a former adult film star, a custody battle turned toxic, a secret marriage to her ex’s son, and a murder so brutal that investigators found the victim headless and drenched in chemicals. Michaels is now convicted of committing the brutal homicide, something prosecutors allege she did with a kitchen meat cleaver! Let’s review the relationship, the murder and the timeline. The victim’s head has never been found but a jury found her guilty of homicide. #DevynMichaels #DeviereWillette #JohnathanWillette #Henderson #LasVegas #Nevada #truecrime #murdertrial #lovetriangle #crime #criminalbehavior #ProfilingEvil #murder #homicide #Profile #criminal =======================================Feedback Friday Links: https://shorturl.at/lBEKL or ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL? 💳 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.

Holidays Behind Bars. Ruby Franke, Kouri Richins & Lori Daybell | Profiling Evil

In most families, the holidays are driven by loving, caring mothers who can’t wait to get everybody under the same roof. But what happens when the “mom” at the center of the story is accused — or convicted — of destroying her own family? In this Profiling Evil episode, we look at how high-profile women like Ruby Franke, Jodi Hildebrandt, Kouri Richins, and Lori Vallow Daybell will likely spend their holidays behind bars. Richins’ charges are still allegations. What are the holidays actually like in prisons and jails. We’ll even chat about the difference from conditions in historic Utah jails from the 1800s and how they compared the modern world of inmate tablets, education programs, and even conjugal-visits. Is spending Christmas in prison the worst thing that can happen to you…or is it living with the knowledge that you murdered or brutalized your own children?#ProfilingEvil #MappingEvil #RubyFranke #JodiHildebrandt #KouriRichins #KoriRichins #EricRichins #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #TammyDaybell #truecrime #prisonlife #holidayinprison #ChristmasInPrison #UtahJails #JuabCountyJail #StGeorgeJail #FillmoreJail #UtahTerritorialJail #womeninprison #childabuse #childmurder #influencercrime #doomsdaymom #corrections #incarceration #victims #criminalbehavior #riskreduction #LasVegasConference #Newspapers=======================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================20% Discount off of Newspapers.com https://Newspapers.com/ProfilingEvil========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL? 💳 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.

Ashlee Buzzard’s Free… Melodee Still Missing! | Profiling Evil

In this episode, we dig into the perplexing case of 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard and her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, a case that stalled and left far more questions than answers. We break down the recent court hearing in which a false-imprisonment charge against Ashlee was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, and we examine whether law enforcement and the prosecution moved too quickly, potentially botching the investigation, or whether the true motive behind the charge was pressure on Ashlee to talk about Melodee’s whereabouts. Then we walk through three plausible scenarios for where Melodee might be, including one involving protective concealment, one involving dangerous criminal activity, and one involving a planned disappearance. We recap what we do know: media reports of child welfare investigations, homeschooling status, a road trip in a rental vehicle returned without damage, plate-swaps and disguises, Ashlee’s lack of cooperation, and the looming question: will the state invoke a statute like Idaho officials did in the Lori Daybell case to detain Ashlee until Melodee is found? #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #MissingChild #CaliforniaMissingChild #SantaBarbaraCounty #FalseImprisonmentDismissed #WhereIsMelodee #RoadTripMystery #RentalCarTrace #ChildWelfareInvestigation #GIS #Esri #BentEar #Mapping #forensic #circumstantial=======================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL? 💳 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.

Chad Daybell Delusions and the Victims He Ignores. Your Questions | Profiling Evil

In this week’s Feedback Friday, I’m filming just east of Las Vegas—on a lonely stretch of desert highway known for mob history, hidden graves, and more than a few stories about barrels resting quietly on the lake bottom. Perfect place to unpack delusion, manipulation, and your questions about Chad Daybell. We’re going to walk through your top comments, the biggest legal questions about why Chad Daybell is even allowed to write these letters, whether Chad Daybell could ever profit from them, why he avoids mentioning Lori, and how his behavior compares to other death row offenders. We also take a detour into Australia for an update on the Mr. Cruel investigation and talk offender psychology, narrative control, grooming, avoidance patterns, and what delusional self-mythologizing looks like behind bars.#truecrime #ChadDaybell #DaybellLetters #LoriVallow #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #TammyDaybell #cultcrime #criminalbehavior #deathrow #IdahoMurders #SonOfSamLaws #FirstAmendment #MrCruel #AustraliaCrime #behavioralprofiling #ProfilingEvil=======================================Feedback Friday Links: https://shorturl.at/lBEKLor ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL?💳 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.

Crisis, Rage & the Skelton Murders | True Crime Tuesday

This week on True Crime Tuesday, we’re looking at three cases dominating national headlines — each different in the details, but united by one theme: human behavior under stress and the tragic consequences that follow. First, we examine the death of Michael Duarte, the popular food influencer known as FoodWithBearHands, who was shot and killed by a Medina County Sheriff’s deputy in Texas. Then we’ll move to Las Vegas, Nevada where an 11-year-old boy was shot and killed during a road-rage dispute. It’s a heartbreaking reminder that everyday irritation can escalate into deadly violence when ego, stress, and weapons mix. And finally, we’ll revisit one of the darkest cold cases in America which happened over the US Thanksgiving holiday in 2010. The disappearance, now murder of three little boys now memorialized as the Skelton Brothers. After fifteen long years, their father has been charged with their murders. This episode is a reminder of how fragile safety can be, how quickly behavior can escalate, and how important it is to understand the warning signs long before tragedy unfolds.#SkeltonBrothers #MichaelDuarte #FoodWithBearHands #PoliceShooting #Texas #Castroville #MedinaCounty #TrueCrime #Influencer #BBQ #MentalHealthCrisis #BodyCam #OfficerInvolvedShooting #Investigation #BreakingNews #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #HendersonShooting #NevadaCrime #RoadRage #215Beltway #ChildVictim #CrystinaSchroer #KansasMurder #AdoptiveAbuse #BackyardBurial #NatalieGarcia #KennedyGarcia #AmberAlert #NeveahPatton #MissingTeen #InterstateKidnapping #OhioArrest #Victimology #OffenderBehavior #CrimePrevention #SituationalAwareness #CrimeMapping #AndrewSkelton #AlexanderSkelton #TannerSkelton #JohnSkelton #MissingChildren #ColdCase #MorenciMichigan #ChildHomicide #JusticeForTheBoys #StephenBryant #FiringSquad #SouthCarolina #DeathPenalty #CapitalPunishment #SerialKiller #CrimeAnalysis #PublicSafety #RiskReduction #CriminalBehavior #TrueCrimeTuesday #BehavioralScience #LawEnforcementAnalysis #MentalHealthAwareness=======================================Feedback Friday Links: https://shorturl.at/lBEKL or ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ========================================LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SUPPORT PROFILING EVIL? 💳 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.

Chad Daybell Letter Number Nine, The Spirit Woman in Black

Chad Daybell just dropped Letter #9 about his “third near-death experience” from 2017, complete with a Spirit Woman in Black, a minute-long blackout where family says he turned purple, and a “fiery dart” that he and Tammy interpreted as a spiritual weapon. Let’s unpack how this letter fits Chad Daybell’s Death Row Marketing Plan. It’s a rebranding campaign that uses religious imagery, paranormal claims, and nostalgia to push the public away from the facts that Chad Daybell was convicted of murdering his wife, Tammy Daybell, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. Shortly after Tammy’s death he secretly married Lori Vallow in Hawaii while JJ and Tylee were buried on his property. Walk through the manipulation tactics, the psychology, spiritual bypassing, magical thinking, dissociation, impression management, and the quiet sales pitch back to his books and speaking circuit. We’ll keep JJ, Tylee, Tammy, Charles Vallow, Brandon Boudreaux, and Colby Ryan front and center, where they belong.#ChadDaybell #LoriDaybell #LoriVallow #TammyDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #BrandonBoudreaux #ColbyRyan #AlexCox #MelanieGibb #ZulemaPastenes #DaybellLetters #Letter9 #ThirdNDE #WomanInBlack #FieryDart #IdahoMurders=======================================Feedback Friday Links: https://shorturl.at/lBEKLor ProfilingEvil@gmail.comOrder Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

Just like the Mormon faith, it’s a cult that does not serve God or Jesus, they don’t commit these crimes out loud, but let’s be abundantly clear, Mormonism is a cult.

A great interview, as usual Mike. You bring such great content both here and on YouTube. Ms Stanley is bringing the fight isn't she! She sounds amazing.
