I recently read an article in Scientific American by Melinda Wenner Moyer, all about the role of unstructured play in setting kids on a course for healthy child development. Moyer cites the story of twenty-five year old Charles Whitman, who back in 1966 climbed to the top of tower on the campus of the University of Texas and proceeded to shoot forty-six people, killing seventeen. The killing sparked an effort to understand why anyone would do such a thing. Mental health professionals interviewed Whitman along with twenty-six other convicted Texas murderers. Most of the killers had two things in common: they grew up in abusive families, and they never played as children. The takeaway here is not that playing as a child will prevent one from engaging in criminal behavior. Rather, further studies since then have confirmed that letting kids engage in free, imaginative play is a crucial factor in health social, emotional, and cognitive development. Parents, let your children play!

On this episode of In Your Head with Dr. Leigh Richardson, we delve into the fascinating and often perplexing world of rare psychiatric and neurological disorders with Dr. Marc Dingman, author of Bizarre and a professor of neuroscience at Penn State University. Dr. Dingman's book explores a long list of unusual conditions that challenge our understanding of the human brain and behavior. We'll begin the show by discussing a chilling case from 1966: the story of Charles Whitman, the University of Texas at Austin student who, without warning, opened fire from the observation deck of the university's clock tower, killing 14 people and injuring 30 others. But what drove him to commit such an unimaginable act? How could a man with an otherwise upstanding character—an Eagle Scout, ex-Marine, and college student—suddenly snap and take so many lives? Was this an emotional reaction to external pressures? Was it influenced by social factors or his internal psychological state? Or perhaps, was something happening in Whitman's brain that we couldn't see? Dr. Dingman explores these questions in-depth, analyzing how psychiatric disorders and bizarre neurological occurrences can dramatically affect behavior and decision-making. Throughout this episode, we'll discuss the role of brain health in shaping our decisions, what happens when the brain deviates from what we consider "normal," and how understanding rare conditions can deepen our appreciation for the complexities of the human mind. As Dr. Dingman says, there's no such thing as a “normal” brain—each one is unique, and the differences between them can shape how we think, act, and interact with the world.

Charles Joseph Whitman, known infamously as the "Texas Tower Sniper," shocked the world on August 1, 1966, when he climbed to the top of the University of Texas Tower in Austin and opened fire on the public below. By the time his rampage was stopped, 16 people were dead and 31 others wounded. While his final act of violence and its aftermath are well-documented, the early life of Charles Whitman offers critical insights into the forces that shaped him into the man he became. Was there something in Whitman's background, his upbringing, and the pressures he faced that can provide context for his tragic descent into madness?    Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here! We've made them available for free to anyone who signs up!

Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 – August 1, 1966) was an American mass murderer and former Marine. He is infamously known as the “Texas Tower Sniper” for his deadly shooting spree at the University of Texas at Austin on August 1, 1966. During this tragic event, Whitman killed 14 people and wounded 32 others before being shot by police. Whitman was born in Lake Worth, Florida, and had a troubled upbringing, marked by a strict and abusive father. He was an Eagle Scout and later joined the Marines, where he earned a scholarship to study at the University of Texas. However, his academic performance declined, and he struggled with personal issues, including severe headaches and mental health problems. In the months leading up to the shooting, Whitman sought professional help for his mental health but did not receive the support he needed. An autopsy revealed a brain tumor, which some experts believe may have contributed to his violent behavior. #history #Beverly #mafia #⁠beverlyhils #truecrime #tedbundy #truecrimecommunity #truecrimeaddict #truecrimememes #killers #killer #murder #mindhunter #murderer #kansas #icp #ouijamacc #juggalettes #juggalo #bondage #twiztid #thegathering #murdermuseum #eldorado #odditiesandcuriosities #caveman #oddities #rare #parkcity #death #charlesmanson #jeffreydahmer #edgein #crime #horror #darkart #richardramirez #halloween #criminal #horrorart #creepy #btkart #truecrimeart #truecrimepodcast #cannibal #albertfish #r #thriller #netflix #truecrimejunkie #horrormovies #history #selfie #truecrimefan #homicide #mystery #truecrimeobsessed #scary #serialkillerart #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #crime #murder #podcast #truecrimeaddict #serialkiller #serialkillers #truecrimejunkie #horror #unsolved #murderino #podcastersofinstagram #truecrimeobsessed #mystery #ssdgm #truecrimefan #killer #truecrimememes #unsolvedmysteries #creepy #paranormal #podcasts #history #tedbundy #criminal #scary #podcasting #coldcase #murdermystery #bookstagram #death #buzzfeedunsolved #crimescene #truecrimepodcasts #missingperson #missing #halloween #crimejunkie #news #myfavoritemurder #spooky #supernatural #truecrimestories #homicide #ryanbergara #shanemadej #murderer #podcaster #truecrimebooks #memes #spotify #podernfamily #boogara #shaniac #jeffreydahmer #police #s #justice #history #ww #travel #art #photography #architecture #love #culture #nature #travelphotography #photooftheday #s #historia #instagood #historical #worldwar #heritage #india #instagram #museum #italy #war #vintage #memes #picoftheday #ig #europe #photo #explore #ancient#germany #historymemes #usa #beautiful #travelgram #follow #historic #france #music #military #italia #castle #historylovers #a #medieval #life #education #like #facts #landscape #storia #world #old #city #historyfacts #archaeology #upsc #america #wwii #Podcasthost #Aftermath #aftermathpodcast #podcast #binge #bingepodcast #podcasttips newpodcastalert #Hudson #aftermath #history #storiesyouforgotabout #attack #terrorattack #nostalgia #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #crime #murder #podcast #truecrimeaddict #serialkiller #serialkillers #truecrimejunkie #horror #unsolved #murderino #podcastersofinstagram #truecrimeobsessed #mystery #ssdgm #truecrimefan #killer #truecrimememes #unsolvedmysteries #creepy #paranormal #podcasts #history #tedbundy #criminal #scary #podcasting #coldcase #murdermystery #bookstagram #death #buzzfeedunsolved #crimescene #truecrimepodcasts #missingperson #missing #halloween #crimejunkie #news #myfavoritemurder #spooky #supernatural #truecrimestories #homicide #ryanbergara #shanemadej #murderer #podcaster #truecrimebooks #memes #spotify #podernfam #history #Beverly #mafia #⁠beverlyhils #truecrime #tedbundy #truecrimecommunity #truecrimeaddict #truecrimememes #killers #killer #murder #mindhunter #murderer #murdermuseum #eldorado #odditiesandcuriosities #caveman #oddities #rare #par #mystery #assassinations #trump  #Dahlia

The University of Texas Tower sniper

On the morning of August 1, 1966, twenty-five-year-old Charles Whitman arrived at the University of Texas Austin campus a little before noon, carrying with him several rifles, pistols, and a shotgun contained within a military footlocker. After talking his way past a guard, Whitman climbed to the twenty eighth floor of the campus clocktower and walked out onto the observation deck, then began firing at the people on the ground below. In the span of a just over an hour and half, Charles Whitman killed fifteen people and wounded thirty-one others before finally being shot and killed by a police officer who'd managed to make his way to the top of the tower. Investigators later learned that, prior to arriving on the UT campus, Whitman had also murdered his mother and his wife.In 1966, mass shootings were virtually unheard of in the United States and Whitman's spree killing shocked the nation. By most accounts, Charles Whitman was the picture of an all-American man, which made his actions all the more confusing. He was well-liked, had a successful military career, a beautiful wife, and once out of the military, he began pursuing a college degree in preparation for the next phase of his life. But behind the façade of American middle-class success lurked a deeply troubled man whose personal history and acute medical problems would eventually go a long way to explaining his actions on the morning of August 1.Thank you to the incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesAustin American-Statesman. 1966.

The Journey Podcast 150. Dr. John Brady: A Deep Dive into the Mind of Sirhan Sirhan Publisher Kris Millegan speaks with Dr. John Brady, a licensed forensic psychologist, true crime writer, Doctor of Criminology, and celebrity analyst. His upcoming book is PSYCHOLOGICAL DNA: A Cold Case Analysis of Who Killed Robert F. Kennedy, being released June 5, 2024. Using modern criminological methods and new psychological assessment tools not available five decades ago, Dr. Brady has reassessed Sirhan' s mental state and arrived at five mental conditions that, in his opinion, if presented at trial could have changed the jury' s verdict and spared Sirhan five and a half decades in prison. John wrote an earlier book, KLEPT0 BISMO: Big Pharma, Shoplifting and Psychiatric Deception, about the people, though well off, even wealthy, who had been arrested for shoplifting. They were all on psychiatric drugs for things like anxiety and depression. The point is made that the US is 4% of the world's population, but we consume 60% of all medications, and half of those are psychoactive drugs used to treat anxiety and other conditions. Many of the thieves referred to him for treatment had been in state institutions, where, they said, psychoactive drugs were more available than on the street. In US correctional institutions, the states spend $9 billion dollars on psychiatric drugs to manage and control inmate populations. These drugs may help some people in the short-term. But in the long run they may precipitate unwanted behaviors such as crime; for instance, nine out of ten mass shooters had been prescribed some form of psychiatric medication for things like anxiety or depression. When a grad student, John's major professor was Bernard Diamond, chief psychiatrist for Sirhan Sirhan's defense team, who would conduct seminars on the defense team's strategies, introducing John to the case very early. His interest was percolated recently due to articles concerning whether Sirhan actually killed Robert F. Kennedy. John's focus is on the psychological aspects of Sirhan's personality. During Sirhan's trial, there was no unanimity of diagnosis among the ten doctors who examined him. They tried to label him as paranoid schizophrenic, but later it was established that he had none of the symptoms associated with that. Thinking that something was missing, John researched what was said at the trial, what the diagnoses were at the time, and why the case was mishandled in terms of coming up with a true diagnosis. John found that Sirhan had five conditions that were not diagnosed at the trial. Sirhan, John diagnoses, had two distinct personalities, one pretty good and one pretty bad, and the bad one committed the murder unbeknownst to the good personality; Sirhan formed the bad personality early in life to preserve himself from the trauma he experienced when he was in Palestine, when there was murder and mayhem all around him. This personality became the evil Sirhan as opposed to the benevolent or ordinary Sirhan. Kris and John also discuss the girl in the polka dot dress, the overwhelming evidence of multiple shooters in the pantry, the seeming consensus among researchers that security guard Thane Eugene Cesar next to and behind RFK shot him, the evidence that Sirhan was a mind-controlled patsy with no intent to harm anyone, and Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Whitman (the Texas Tower shooter), and Mark David Chapman (John Lennon's alleged shooter). #TrineDay #TrineDayPublishing #PsychologicalDNA #WhoKilledRobertFKennedy #SirhanSirhan #MKUltraMindControl #ManchurianCandidate #MindControlledPatsy #JohnFKennedy #LeeHarveyOswald #MarkDavidChapman #JohnLennon

The morning of Aug. 1, 1966, 25-year-old Charles Whitman called his wife's boss to say she'd be out, then did the same for his mother. After killing the two women, he climbed atop the observatory tower at the University of Texas and relentlessly began picking off pedestrians below in an attack unlike any before witnessed in America.

Hey, true crime friends! This week we will be discussing the University of Texas Tower Shooting that took place in early August 1966. Charles Whitman, an architectural engineering student and former US Marine, took the lives of 14 people and injured 31. However, this case is way more complicated than most mass shootings that have occurred since. In this week's News Update, Joran van der Sloot- a longtime suspect in the Natalee Holloway disappearance from 2005- has admitted to her murder, and Cher has spoken out against the allegations that she "kidnapped" her adult son.

Time for a new episode and this time we are squeezing in one more true crime before the holiday seasons arrive! On this episode we take a look at the 1966 University of Texas Tower shootings in Austin and the wildly unique movie “Targets” that was released two years later. Available now on iTunes, podbean and our blog. Thanks as always for listening!

My special guest tonight is Dr. Harry Milman, here to discuss his second installment of a series of books detailing the death of the famous and, this time, the infamous.  Get his book Forensics Ii: The Science Behind the Deaths of Famous and Infamous People on Amazon. George Washington, the former first president of the United States, lay in his bed suffering from a high fever, a raw throat, and labored breathing. His three physicians milled around his bed, treating Washington with blisters of cantharides, tartar emetic, and bloodletting, removing nearly 40 percent of his total blood volume and causing excruciating pain. When Washington was finally relieved of his misery and died, the three doctors could not agree on what caused his death. Forensics II: The Science Behind the Deaths of Famous and Infamous People reads like a mystery novel, presenting biographical and scientific information that helps readers understand how medical examiners-coroners utilized forensic analysis to determine the causes and manners of death of thirty-six famous and infamous people, including Napoleon Bonaparte, a French military leader, and politician; Charles Whitman, the University of Texas tower shooter; Bruce Lee, an actor, and martial artist; Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana; Jim Jones, a key figure in the Jonestown massacre; Aretha Franklin, a singer-songwriter; Alexander Litvinenko, a former officer of the Russian Federal Security Service; Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender; and many more. The book is based on a review of publicly available autopsy and toxicology reports, published lay articles, and the scientific literature. Of the deaths reviewed, 39 percent were due to natural causes, 19 percent were accidental, and 6 (17 percent) were suicides. The remaining deaths comprise three cases each of homicide and justifiable homicide by police, one case of court-mandated execution, and three cases in which the manner of death was undetermined.   About the Author Harry A. Milman, Ph.D., is a consulting pharmacologist, toxicologist, and expert witness with over forty years of experience at the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Health, and the US Public Health Service. Dr. Milman has assisted in over three hundred civil, criminal, and high-profile legal cases and testified at trials and depositions. He authored over seventy scientific articles and has edited five science books, including the highly acclaimed Handbook of Carcinogen Testing. Often quoted in newspapers and magazines, Dr. Milman appeared as a toxicology expert on the History Channel, the Oxygen Channel, TV and radio news programs, and true-crime television shows. Dr. Milman is the author of FORENSICS: The Science Behind the Deaths of Famous People and two novels—A Death at Camp David, winner of the Best Mystery Novel in the 2018 Book Talk Radio Club Awards, and SOYUZ: The Final Flight, a finalist for Best Second Novel in the 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards and a finalist for Best Science Fiction Novel in the 2018 Book Talk Radio Club Awards.   It's super easy to access our archives!   Here's how:   iPhone Users: Access Mysterious Radio from Apple Podcasts and become a subscriber there, or if you want access to even more exclusive content, join us on Patreon.   Android Users: Enjoy over 800 exclusive member-only posts to include ad-free episodes, case files, and more when you join us on Patreon.    Please copy and Paste our link in a text message to all your family members and friends!

On August 1, 1966 Charles Whitman, a USMC veteran, ascended the 28 story tower on the UT-Austin Campus and opened fire on the unsuspecting student body that was walking between classes below. At the end of the 90 minute rampage, 18 people were dead, including the shooter. An autopsy would show that Charles had a malignant tumor on his brain and many believe the combination of the the tumor and an oppressive and abusive childhood were responsible for his evil actions that day. Listen along as we go back almost 60 years to the terror of that fateful day. Music by Gioele Fazzeri from Pixabay

When does neuroscience overlap with the legal system? Do we have free will or don't we? Did changes in Charles Whitman's brain have something to do with him becoming a mass shooter? Why was the heir to the Gucci fashion fortune killed by his wife? Join Eagleman on a wild journey to understand what happens when the study of the brain and the law end up in the same courtroom.

We will be back in 2 weeks with our first guest so have fun watching the 1996 Renny Harlin/Shane Black thriller The Long Kiss Goodnight. Fair warning there's a fair bit of sexual violence referenced in this

In last week's episode, we talked about the life of Charles Whitman, the 25-year-old ex marine and architect student at the University of Texas at Austin. After murdering his wife and mother in the early hours of August 1st, 1966, Charlie loaded his vehicle full of his weapons and supplies that he needed that day, and then he made his way over to the University of Texas at Austin. From there, he would go to the top of the UT tower, and commit one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history. This is part 2 of the story of the UT Tower Shooting, and you're listening to Murder in America.  - Try HelloFresh today- America's #1 Meal Kit!

At approximately 11:35 am on August 1, 1966, Charles Whitman arrived at the University of Texas at Austin campus where he posed as a research assistant and told a security guard he was there to deliver equipment. He climbed twenty-eight floors of the UT tower and emerged on the observation deck where for ninety-six minutes he opened fire on innocent people below. In those ninety-six minutes, Whitman killed sixteen people, and injured thirty-one. The incident, which became known as the "UT Tower Sniper" shooting, was one of the first high-profile mass shootings in American history and sparked a national conversation about gun violence and mental health. The Texas Tower shooting remains one of the most brutal mass shootings in United States history, and was considered the deadliest on a college campus until the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007.

In the first episode of Season 3, Jake moves from guest to co-host, Jared moves from teaching middle school to teaching college, and we discuss the archetype mass shooter: Charles Whitman and his senseless attack from the University of Texas clock tower. We talk about the mythology that has surrounded the event and how ultimately, Whitman only ever cared about himself. Is there anything to learn from these type of atrocities? We think there is, and over 50 years later, many refuse to see what was has always been true in this world: Some people do horrible things just because they want to.

In the previous episode, Inside Story Of The Deadliest Attack On Police Officers Since 9/11, the negotiator for the Dallas SWAT team revealed the inside story about the mass killer who ambushed Dallas officers during a Black Lives Matter protest five years ago. Members of our True Crime Community have asked to learn more about the purpose of SWAT teams. SWAT stands for Special Weapons and Tactics.  It's a highly trained elite unit selected from rank and file officers who apply.  In the True Crime Reporter™ podcast episode published on July 18, 2022, about the Uvalde School Shooting, Police Waited To Subdue Killer While Uvalde School Children Lay Dying you heard how a SWAT team from the U.S. Border Patrol finally stepped in and ended the mass shooting. SWAT teams grew out of the mass shooting at the University of Texas Tower in Austin a half-century ago. In 96 minutes, Charles Whitman, an architectural engineering student cut down nearly 50 people with 150 rifle shots from the 30th-floor observation deck on August 1, 1966. From his perch, three hundred feet above the campus, he methodically picked off victims as far as five blocks away.  Police were outgunned and did not have protective gear to make a quick assault.  You can learn more about the incident and how it influenced policing in our March 28, 2022 episode titled,  A Sniper In The Tower--Why Did He Do It? We interviewed Gary Lavergne, the author of A Sniper in the Tower: The Charles Whitman Murders. Here are links to black and white film footage from the shooting and a video of Gary Lavergne following the sniper's trail to the top of the UT Tower.  If SWAT teams had existed back then, that's who would have responded.   We asked retired Dallas Police Lt. Bob Owens to explain the role of SWAT teams. Owens is a 40-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department. Here is his interview with Robert Riggs. We want to become your favorite true crime podcast.

In 1966 Texas learned the true fury of firearms when its capital, Austin, became the home of America's first mass shooting. At the time, the concept that anyone anywhere could be randomly gunned down by a stranger was unheard of. No one saw it coming. That fateful day former marine and trained sniper, Charles Whitman, climbed up the stairs of the University of Texas clock tower and open-fired on those below. It was the catalyst that coined the term ‘mass shooting'. It sparked debates about gun laws and diminished responsibility and paved the way for the shooters that sadly to this day, continue to follow in his footsteps. ★Enjoy!★PLEASE RATE THE PODCAST: I'd like to as a quick favor - please rate the Homicide Inc podcast if you haven't already.

Charles Whitman believed that perfection was the only option in life. It was an idea that was beaten into him by his father.

In a continuation of last week's show, Dr. Justin Clarke leads us through a challenge to dualism's mind philosophy, materialism. Materialism argues that our brain is our mind and that mental activities are connected to physical ones. Materialists believe physical matter is the only reality and that everything, including thought, feeling, mind, and will, can be explained in terms of matter and physical phenomena. Join us in another challenging episode!
