Today, we're sharing a special look at a podcast we think you'll like from our friends at ABC Audio and 20/20. It's called “Burden of Proof: Luigi Mangione.” In this five-part series, ABC News Legal Analyst Brian Buckmire goes deep into the case of Luigi Mangione and Brian Thompson. He'll unpack the murder itself, the two men at the heart of the story, and how this case has affected the conversation about healthcare in America.  This is episode one, “Christmastime in Altoona.” In this episode, the manhunt for the alleged shooter of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson comes to an end at a McDonald's in Altoona, PA.

In this episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston to examine why some women pursue relationships with men responsible for notorious killings. We begin with Chris Watts, who is serving life without parole for murdering his pregnant wife, Shanann Watts, their daughters, Bella and Celeste, and their unborn son, Nico. With reports that Watts may now want to marry a woman who has repeatedly visited him in prison, we discuss what someone may gain from a relationship built around distance, controlled contact and the belief that she alone understands the man behind the crime.Dr. Johnston explains the limited research surrounding hybristophilia, the term commonly used for attraction to people who commit serious crimes. We discuss rescue fantasies, religious redemption, the desire to feel uniquely important, denial of overwhelming evidence and the emotional appeal of a relationship in which everyday responsibilities are largely absent. We also examine how an incarcerated offender can create intimacy through letters, telephone calls and carefully controlled stories while the person outside supplies money, attention, loyalty and a connection to the free world.We compare Watts with Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, who received attention from numerous women while awaiting execution and eventually married Doreen Lioy. Her refusal to accept the evidence against him lasted for years before DNA linked Ramirez to the killing of nine-year-old Mei Leung. We also discuss Luigi Mangione and the public support, romantic attention and substantial defense contributions he received after the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson. Mangione has now pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges resulting in Thompson's death and admitted in court that he shot him; the separate New York murder prosecution is currently being challenged by his attorneys. (Associated Press)This conversation is not about assuming that every person who writes to an inmate has the same motivation. It is about understanding the different psychological needs that can make these relationships attractive, the ways imprisoned offenders may groom or manipulate people outside and the difference between a sincere claim of change and years of accountable behavior. Dr. Johnston also explains why intelligence, professional training or previous relationship experience does not necessarily protect someone from emotional manipulation.I want to hear what you think. Should Chris Watts be permitted to marry while serving life for killing Shanann, Bella, Celeste and Nico? Is a prison relationship evidence of love, a rescue effort, a redemption story or something the offender has carefully constructed?#ChrisWatts #ShanannWatts #BellaWatts #CelesteWatts #NicoWatts #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #RichardRamirez #JoniJohnston #JennieVincow #DayleOkazaki #TsaiLianYu #VincentZazzara #MaxineZazzara #WilliamDoi #MabelBell #MaryLouiseCannon #JoyceLucilleNelson #MaxonKneiding #LelaKneiding #ChainarongKhovananth #ElyasAbowath #PeterPan #MeiLeung #TrueCrime #ForensicPsychology #PrisonRelationships #PrisonGrooming #Hybristophilia #LoveBehindBars #VictimAdvocacy #ProfilingEvil========================================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: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Luigi Mangione confessed to killing Brian Thompson. In the same breath, he pleaded guilty to stalking — not murder. No deal was cut to get there. He simply admitted, on the record, that he stalked the UnitedHealthcare CEO to an investor conference, posed as an investor controlling tens of billions of dollars to learn exactly where Thompson would be, 3D-printed the gun he used, and traveled to New York with the intent to kill. He told the judge he understood it was illegal. He showed no remorse. He never referred to Thompson as a husband or a father — only as a target. Thompson's wife, Paulette, sat in the front row and cried while he described it. Hours later, his defense team filed to dismiss the separate state murder case on double jeopardy grounds, with that trial's jury selection already scheduled for September 8. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to break down what it means when a confessed killer is convicted of the lesser charge, and what his legal team is trying to pull off next. This is a man who has now beaten a terrorism charge and beaten the federal death penalty — and may be about to beat a state murder trial too. Federal sentencing is set for December 18. Guidelines call for twenty-four to thirty years; prosecutors say they want life. Mangione is twenty-eight. The episode lays out the confession, the legal strategy, and the gap between what he admitted and what he's actually been convicted of. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Thompson's widow sat in the front row of a federal courtroom and cried while the man who killed her husband described the killing without a flicker of remorse. Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to two counts of stalking in Thompson's death — no deal, no negotiation, nothing traded away. In his own statement to the judge, Mangione admitted he stalked the UnitedHealthcare CEO to an investor conference, posed as an investor overseeing tens of billions of dollars to learn exactly where and when Thompson would be, 3D-printed the gun, and traveled to New York intending to kill him. He referenced a broken back. He referenced the health insurance system. He never once mentioned Brian Thompson as a husband, a father, a person Paulette Thompson loved. Within hours of the plea, his defense team filed to dismiss the separate state murder case on double jeopardy grounds — the same case where jury selection had been set for September 8. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony Brueski to unpack a defendant who has now beaten a terrorism charge, beaten the federal death penalty, and may be about to beat a state murder trial too. Federal sentencing is set for December 18; the guidelines suggest twenty-four to thirty years, but prosecutors outside the courthouse said they're pushing for life. Mangione is twenty-eight years old. This episode covers the confession, the legal maneuvering nobody saw coming until it happened, and what a stalking conviction actually means for a man who admitted to murder on the record. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Luigi Mangione told a federal judge on August 14 that he killed Brian Thompson. He said he shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan and knew it was illegal. The conviction that followed was for stalking — not murder.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to cover the plea and the strategy it appears to be built on.The federal murder charge was dismissed months before the hearing. Terrorism charges were thrown out when a judge found the evidence legally insufficient. What remained were two stalking counts carrying a maximum sentence of life in prison. Mangione pleaded guilty to both without a deal.He described for the court how he identified the location of the UnitedHealthcare investor conference by posing as a financial manager overseeing more than fifty billion dollars. The company gave him the address within an hour of his email. He traveled to New York, arrived ahead of Thompson, and waited.Mangione's defense team filed a double jeopardy motion to block the state murder case before he was back in his cell. The state trial had been scheduled for September jury selection. His attorneys asked for this federal hearing three days before it.Sentencing is set for December 18. The guidelines recommend twenty-four to thirty years. Mangione is twenty-eight, which means the low end would put his release in his early fifties. Prosecutors have publicly stated they are seeking life.Coffindaffer breaks down what the timing reveals about legal strategy, what the level of preoperational planning says to an investigator, and whether this sequence of dropped and reduced charges amounts to a system being outmaneuvered.Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Luigi Mangione told a federal judge he shot Brian Thompson in Manhattan and Thompson died. He said he knew it was illegal. He described stalking the UnitedHealthcare CEO to an investor conference, printing a weapon, and traveling across state lines to carry out the killing. There was no plea agreement.Within hours, his defense team filed a motion that could end the state murder case entirely.New York's double jeopardy law says a defendant can't be prosecuted twice for the same conduct. Mangione's lawyers argue the federal guilty plea now blocks the September 8 state trial on second-degree murder charges. The Manhattan DA's office is prepared to fight the motion. Justice Gregory Carro will decide whether the state case moves forward.The federal sentencing guidelines suggest 24 to 30 years, but the judge isn't bound by them. Prosecutors are seeking life. Sentencing is December 18.This episode traces the full arc: Mangione's weeks of planning, his arrest at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, the terrorism charges thrown out in September 2025, the death penalty dismissed in January 2026, and the open plea that landed with no deal attached. It also examines UnitedHealthcare's claim denial rates, the AI algorithm that replaced clinical judgment, the voluntary industry pledges that produced no measurable reform, and the defamation law firm the company hired to manage the fallout.Thompson was 50 years old, a father of two, and was walking to work when Mangione shot him from behind. His family called the plea an important step toward justice and asked the court to make the sentence match the crime.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This morning, accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges. Mangione admitted to killing Brian Thompson, but only pled guilty to the charges of stalking. The sentencing for that could be up to life in prison -- a pretty serious punishment for a crime like stalking. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas breaks down the charge and why it could amount to such a harsh sentencing.

Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate accused of executing the CEO of United Healthcare, is expected to plead guilty in federal court, according to two reports.

Greg Kelly talks about the federal case against Luigi Mangione for the murder of healthcare executive Brian Thompson. Greg transitions into sports media rumors regarding Tony Romo's potential departure from CBS following an intoxication charge, using the situation to discuss broader themes of accountability and forgiveness. The broadcast also features a critical look at the Southern Poverty Law Center, accusing the organization of fabricating narratives of extremism for financial gain.

On the show floor at Black Hat USA 2026, Marco Ciappelli connected with Dr. Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO at BlackCloak, about a change in where the company draws the line around who gets protected. BlackCloak launched Impersonation Protection several months ago for the C-suite and their families. Clients came back asking for more reach. Why does deepfake risk extend past the executive? Because the people surrounding an executive hold the access attackers want. Pierson lists the trusts and estates attorney, the private wealth manager, the lawyer, the spiritual advisor, the dog walker. Each one is a plausible caller with a legitimate reason to reach out about money, schedules, property, or family. The economics moved too. Pierson contrasts an era when a convincing fake needed something close to a studio operation with what the same result costs now: a laptop, a small sample of audio or video, roughly three minutes of processing, live video and audio. He points to the February 2024 case where a finance employee acted on an impersonated CFO and twenty five million dollars went out the door. The expanded capability lets a member extend coverage across their circle at no cost to the invited contact. Pierson says the platform can now scale to hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of individuals at a single company, along with family members and key contacts. The point, as he frames it, is to stop the deepfake where it starts, which is at the human. What changed for executive protection over the past year? Physical and digital stopped being separate programs. Pierson traces that shift to the murder of Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO, and to the questions corporate security teams started asking afterward. Digital breadcrumbs sit on data broker sites and across the deep and dark web, and erasure is unrealistic, which moves the work toward protection rather than removal. That thinking shows up in the product. Members receive travel advisories tied to where they are going, and a CISO can pair a world threat dashboard with cybersecurity guidance for a specific trip. Behind it sits eight years of member data and one of the larger deception networks aimed at individuals, which shows BlackCloak where targeting concentrates, from executive airports to the Olympics to the World Cup.

Ten years of entrepreneurship changes the way you think about almost everything. In this episode, Brian Thompson shares ten belief shifts that shaped his journey from 2016 to 2026, and what they might mean for wherever you are in building your own business. Brian introduces two versions of himself: 2016 Brian, the guy who just walked away from a comfortable legal career with a vision and a lot of assumptions, and 2026 Brian, someone who has spent a decade building a business, serving clients, making mistakes, and learning along the way. The result is an honest and personal reflection on what entrepreneurship actually teaches you over time.   In this episode you will learn: Why confidence is a byproduct of action, not a prerequisite for it How expertise alone does not create lasting client relationships Why planning creates more peace of mind than money ever will How the definition of success shifts from growth to alignment over time Why authenticity and niching down are about belonging, not just marketing strategy What productivity actually means when you are building a mission-driven business Why there is no finish line in entrepreneurship and why that is a good thing   Ten years of entrepreneurship teaches you that authenticity is not a brand strategy. It is the foundation of everything. The clients who stay, the work that energizes you, the business that lasts, all of it comes back to knowing who you are and building something that reflects that. Whether you are in your first year or your tenth, this episode is a reminder that the business you are dreaming about will not turn out exactly how you imagined. It will become something better.   Resources + Links Newsletter Sign Up Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes Follow & review the podcast: on Spotify and Apple Podcasts   About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP®, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses. The Mission Driven Business podcast was born out of his passion for helping social entrepreneurs create businesses with purpose and profit.

Ten years ago, Brian Thompson walked out of his law firm for the last time with a vision, a lot of fear, and no guaranteed paycheck. In this episode, he reflects on a decade of entrepreneurship, the lessons that shaped him, the people who made it possible, and what the next ten years of mission-driven financial planning looks like. This is not a strategy episode. It is a personal and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of the BTF journey, and a reminder that meaningful businesses are not built overnight. They are built one conversation, one client, one courageous decision, and one ordinary Tuesday at a time.   In this episode you will learn: The business lessons Brian has carried through a full decade of building BTF Why financial planning has always been about helping people build lives, not just balance sheets How community and connection have shaped the growth of a mission-driven business Why the podcast became one of the most unexpected and meaningful parts of the journey What Brian believes about mission-driven entrepreneurship going into the next decade Why celebrating milestones matters and how to start doing it more intentionally   A decade of entrepreneurship teaches you things that no business book can. It teaches you that mission matters more than metrics, that community sustains what strategy alone cannot, and that the businesses that last are the ones that know why they exist. Whether you are just starting out, somewhere in the middle, or celebrating your own milestone, this episode is a reminder of how far one courageous step can take you.   Resources + Links Newsletter Sign Up Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes Follow & review the podcast: on Spotify and Apple Podcasts   About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP®, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

In this episode, Brian Thompson — a former pastor and lifelong surfer — shares how he stepped away from ten years of formal pastoral ministry after the weight of licensing requirements, congregational expectations, and carrying others' burdens began stealing his peace and joy. He describes returning to surfing in his fifties , and how that return unexpectedly became a spiritual practice and a new context for quiet, judgment-free faith conversations. Brian reflects on wrestling with guilt and the fear of disappointing God by giving up his title, ultimately concluding that his calling to reach the lost never required a license or institutional role to fulfill. The conversation closes with Brian describing an emerging, informal faith community he's starting with friends outside the church, built around open discussion rather than top-down teaching.
