Seven months of living together. Eight years of alleged obsession. Two lives allegedly taken.Michael McKee was married to Monique Tepe for two years on paper, but family members say they only lived together for about seven months before she fled what they describe as emotional torture and death threats. She rebuilt her life, remarried dentist Spencer Tepe, had children, and appeared to thrive. Prosecutors allege McKee watched from a distance for eight years — then allegedly drove six hours to Columbus, entered their home without forced entry, and shot them both to death while their kids slept.Former FBI profiler Joe Navarro calls this type a "wound collector" — someone who nurtures grievances for years, unable to forgive or move on. Criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards describes it as "stalking in slow motion." In this episode, we apply these frameworks to the McKee case and explore what the research says about obsessive ex-partners who turn lethal.This one is heavy. But it matters. Because recognizing these patterns saves lives.McKee is charged with four counts of aggravated murder and awaits extradition to Ohio.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #WoundCollector #TrueCrime #DomesticViolence #CoerciveControl #HiddenKillers #OhioJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brendan Banfield wasn't just a husband accused of murder — he was a trained IRS Criminal Investigation agent. Prosecutors allege he used his expertise to build a months-long plot to kill his wife and frame a stranger, staging the scene to look like a home invasion gone wrong.Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins True Crime Today to analyze the alleged behavior behind the case. What does the level of planning suggest about Banfield's psychology? How does law enforcement training shape this kind of alleged crime? And what behavioral red flags stand out in the evidence presented at trial?We break down the 911 call, the framed photo on the nightstand, the four-year-old left waiting in the basement, and what all of it may tell us about control, arrogance, and premeditation.Banfield has pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder.

Juliana Peres Magalhães admitted on the stand that she pulled the trigger on Joseph Ryan. She testified that she watched Brendan Banfield stab his wife Christine to death. And she's the only living witness to what happened in that bedroom.But the defense showed the jury jail letters where Magalhães promised to never cooperate, said she would "take the blame" for Banfield, and declared she would "give my life for his." She only flipped after she was hospitalized, after Banfield's family stopped paying her lawyer, and after she started negotiating with Netflix.Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins True Crime Today to evaluate the au pair's credibility. What red flags does he see? How does a behavioral expert assess a witness who lied for a year? And does the Netflix deal change everything — or is it just noise?Banfield has pleaded not guilty.

On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida. Two weeks later, fishermen discovered his severed head in a drainage canal near Vero Beach. His body was never found. This case would transform America's approach to missing children forever, but the question of who actually killed Adam Walsh remains deeply contested to this day. In this episode of The Redacted Report, we go beyond the official narrative to explore the details that rarely make it into documentaries and news specials. We examine the seventeen-year-old security guard whose fateful decision to remove rowdy kids from the store left Adam alone and vulnerable in an unfamiliar parking lot. We dig into the explosive allegations that emerged during the Sears lawsuit, including claims made under oath by Adam's godfather Jimmy Campbell about a four-year affair with Revé Walsh and the family's alleged drug use. We trace the bizarre confession carousel of convicted serial killer Ottis Toole, who admitted to the murder dozens of times only to recant repeatedly, and whose partner Henry Lee Lucas was proven to be in a Maryland jail cell on the day of the abduction. We also investigate the controversial Jeffrey Dahmer theory championed by journalist Arthur Jay Harris and witnesses Willis Morgan and Bill Bowen, who independently identified Dahmer as the suspicious man they saw at the Hollywood Mall that day. Dahmer was living in Miami Beach at the time, working at Sunshine Subs just twenty minutes from where Adam disappeared, and had access to a blue van matching witness descriptions. Former FBI agent Neil Purtell, who interviewed Dahmer in prison, believes the serial killer's cryptic statement that "anyone who killed Adam Walsh could not live in any prison, ever" was essentially a coded admission of guilt. We examine the catastrophic failures of the Hollywood Police Department, including the lost bloodstained carpet from Toole's Cadillac, the missing machete, and the destroyed vehicle that might have provided the DNA evidence needed for a conviction.We question the controversial Luminol photograph that retired detective Joe Matthews compared to the Shroud of Turin, which critics dismiss as forensic pareidolia. And we explore how Police Chief Chad Wagner's 2008 decision to close the case through "exceptional clearance" satisfied the Walsh family but left many investigators and witnesses unconvinced.Through it all, we trace Adam's extraordinary legacy, from the Missing Children Act of 1982 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to America's Most Wanted to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. John Walsh transformed unimaginable grief into systemic change that has protected millions of children and led to the capture of over twelve hundred fugitives.This is the Adam Walsh case as you've never heard it before. The official story says Ottis Toole was the killer. The evidence says something far more complicated.

Major developments in the Kouri Richins case as Judge Richard Mrazik issues critical pre-trial rulings just weeks before jury selection begins. Kouri Richins, the Utah mother and real estate agent charged with aggravated murder in the 2022 fentanyl death of her husband Eric Richins, will now face a narrower trial than prosecutors intended. The judge ruled this week that financial crime charges — including insurance fraud, mortgage fraud, and forgery — will be tried separately, meaning the jury deciding the murder case won't hear those allegations. A domestic violence expert has been barred from testifying after defense attorneys argued there's no evidence of abuse in twelve terabytes of discovery. Former FBI behavioral analyst Molly Amman can only testify in limited rebuttal capacity and cannot suggest Kouri fits a killer profile. However, handwriting expert Matt Throckmorton will testify that Eric's signature on insurance documents was allegedly forged. The controversial orange notebook — allegedly containing Kouri's own account of the night Eric died — may be admitted if prosecutors meet evidentiary requirements. Prosecutors allege Kouri first tried to poison Eric with a fentanyl-laced sandwich on Valentine's Day 2022, then succeeded seventeen days later with a Moscow Mule. The defense has challenged the state's evidence, noting a key witness recanted his statement about selling fentanyl. Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and maintains her innocence. Trial begins February 10, 2026.#KouriRichins #TrueCrimeToday #EricRichins #UtahCrime #FentanylPoisoning #MurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalJustice #CourtNews #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How do you take down a cybercriminal? Last month, we explored that question through the lens of Operation Endgame. Today, we ask Shawn Henry, former Executive Assistant Director of the FBI and current Executive Advisor to the Founder and CEO of CrowdStrike. In some ways, it's similar to taking down criminals in the physical world. But the speed and scale of cybercrime operations exacerbate the challenge of stopping them. While infrastructure can be dismantled, the impact is now short-lived as adversaries pivot to other setups. While law enforcement considers how to replicate successful operations, cybercriminals are thinking about how they can adapt and stay ahead. For those pursuing adversaries, speed and scale are difficult to achieve. As Shawn explains, successful takedowns require collaboration among dozens of groups; among them law enforcement agencies, international partners, intelligence analysts, reverse engineers, prosecutors, and private sector organizations that have visibility into adversary infrastructure. “A takedown isn't a single door-kick moment. It's a monthslong choreography of legal process and infrastructure mapping and partner synchronization,” he says. Are there ways to accelerate the process? He has a few ideas. Tune in as Shawn joins Adam and Cristian to share a behind-the-scenes take on stopping cybercrime. Learn the key challenges law enforcement faces, how a takedown comes together, why arrests alone aren't enough to stop adversaries, and where there is still an opportunity to have real impact.

In this episode of Stop the Killing Podcast, former FBI agent and prosecutor Katherine Schweit breaks down the fatal shooting of Renee Goode, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. Rather than reacting to headlines or social media outrage, this episode focuses on one question only: Did the officer's actions meet the legal standard for the use of deadly force? Drawing on Department of Justice policy, Supreme Court case law, and her own experience investigating officer-involved shootings, Schweit explains: What “objectively reasonable” force actually means When officers are legally prohibited from shooting at moving vehicles Why anger, frustration, or refusal to comply do not justify deadly force How federal investigations differ when the shooter is a federal agent What investigators will be required to evaluate — regardless of politics This episode does not reach a verdict.It explains the rules — so listeners can understand how this case will be judged. DOJ and DHS deadly force policy Shooting into a vehicle: what the law allows and forbids Federal vs state investigations in officer-involved shootings Why “escape” alone can never justify deadly force What video evidence can — and cannot — tell us This case has ignited protests and intense public debate.Understanding the actual legal standard is essential — especially when emotions are high and facts are still emerging.

Former FBI agent Séamus McElearney, author of Flipping Capo: How the FBI Dismantled the Real Sopranos, walks through the case that shattered the DeCavalcante crime family. He explains the mob's quiet tax on regular people via unions—no-show jobs, pension skims, and an asbestos local run by guys who couldn't pass the test (so they had someone take it for them). He also gets into the overlap with The Sopranos and contrasts real life with the one premise he says flatly wouldn't happen: a boss talking mob business to a shrink. Plus, the Renee Good shooting and the way "objectively reasonable" ends up riding on an officer's story; and in the Spiel, Iran's protests and "semi-official" media; and how the fake Fed investigation is Trump's own attempt at an autocrat-like crackdown.

Our week in review on the Charity Beallis case — an exhaustive FBI behavioral analysis of a case where documented evidence shows violence on both sides of a relationship.Charity Beallis and her twins Eliana and Maverick were found shot to death on December 3rd, 2025, in Bonanza, Arkansas. Over a month later: no arrest, no named suspect, no cause of death released. Federal agencies are assisting. The investigation remains active.The media framed this as a domestic violence tragedy with a clear victim and perpetrator. The documented record tells a more complicated story. Randall Beallis pled guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery. Charity wrote publicly about fearing for her safety. But Charity's documented history includes a 2013 arrest for allegedly pointing a firearm at a man, custody proceedings where her own father alleged she endangered her child, and according to a 2021 police report, her father allegedly told investigators she confessed to killing Randall's previous wife Shawna — who died from a gunshot wound to the forehead in 2012 in a case ruled suicide.That same father later told media he never said Charity was involved — only that "she knew who did it." That contradiction matters.Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — 32 years in federal law enforcement including running the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program — joined us for a three-part analysis. He examined documented behaviors on both sides, the investigation's signals including search warrants and the dumpster discovery, and what happens when the truth may not fit any comfortable narrative. The only certainty is that Eliana and Maverick are gone. Everything else remains under investigation.#CharityBeallis #RobinDreeke #FBI #ElianaAndMaverick #RandallBeallis #ShawnaBeallis #BonanzaArkansas #HiddenKillers #WeekInReview #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week on Hidden Killers, we took a hard look at the Charity Beallis case — and what we found doesn't fit the narrative national media rushed to print.On December 3rd, 2025, Charity Beallis and her six-year-old twins Eliana and Maverick were found dead from gunshot wounds in their Bonanza, Arkansas home. One day earlier, she'd lost a custody battle to Dr. Randall Beallis — the husband she accused of strangling her. No arrest. No named suspect. Autopsy pending. Law enforcement says there's no ongoing threat to the public.The headlines drew a straight line: abusive doctor kills wife and children. But the documented record tells a far more complicated story — one where both adults had histories of alleged violence, and where the truth matters more than the easy answer.Dr. Randall Beallis pled guilty to third-degree domestic battery in October 2025 after allegedly choking Charity in front of the children. But Charity's history includes a 2013 arrest for allegedly pointing a firearm at a man, custody allegations from her own father claiming she was too dangerous to have custody of her firstborn, and according to a 2021 police report, her father allegedly told investigators she confessed to involvement in the 2012 death of Randall's previous wife Shawna — a death ruled suicide from a gunshot wound to the forehead.Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke joined us to examine the behavioral patterns on both sides — the escalation, the indicators, and the questions that remain unanswered. This isn't about choosing sides. It's about understanding what the evidence actually shows. The only innocent people in this story are Eliana and Maverick. They were six years old. They didn't choose any of this.#CharityBeallis #RobinDreeke #FBI #BonanzaArkansas #RandallBeallis #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #ElianaAndMaverick #WeekInReview #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Mea Culpa takes an inside look at alleged violent insurrectionist Ryan Nichols who has been detained for over a year pending trial. It's a chilling portrait of a man prepared to kill for Donald Trump's lies. Later, Michael welcomes back Frank Figliuzzi to discuss the larger threat assessment from right wing extremists and who's likely to talk amongst Trump's inner circle. 

True Crime Today brings in former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke to analyze the behavioral patterns documented in the Charity Beallis case — patterns that paint a far more complicated picture than initial media coverage suggested.December 3rd, 2025. Bonanza, Arkansas. Deputies find Charity Beallis and twins Eliana and Maverick dead from gunshot wounds inside their home. Over a month later, no arrest has been made. No suspect has been named. No official cause of death has been released.The easy narrative is domestic violence. The documented record suggests something harder to categorize.Randall Beallis pled guilty to third-degree battery after allegations he choked Charity. But Charity had her own documented history — a 2013 arrest for allegedly pointing a firearm at a man at the same house where Randall's previous wife died, allegations from her own father that she endangered her child, and according to a 2021 police report, an alleged confession to her father regarding Shawna Beallis's death.Robin Dreeke spent over three decades in federal law enforcement, including years running the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program. He knows how to read documented behavior without jumping to conclusions. In this interview, he examines what the evidence shows about both parties — the escalation indicators, the patterns, and the questions investigators are likely asking.The only certainty is that two six-year-olds are dead. Everything else remains under investigation.Content on this site is based on publicly available information and reflects commentary and opinion.

January 5th, 2026. That's when seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick stands trial for murdering her mother and stepfather. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office has promised mountains of evidence. So far, the public has seen TikTok videos, messages to true crime creators, and an eulogy investigators found suspicious.What haven't we seen? The murder weapon. A motive. Physical evidence tying Sarah to the crime.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins True Crime Today to break down what prosecutors actually have — and what they're going to need to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. We examine the digital footprint that led to Sarah's arrest, the troubled family history documented in court records, questions about whether a sixteen-year-old was interrogated without parental consent, and what it means that a six-year-old may be the state's key witness.Sarah's grandfather insists she's innocent. The Brock family showed up to court fearing for their lives. The community is split.

Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins me to break down the psychology behind the JP Miller case and what the federal indictment reveals about predatory behavior and coercive control. A federal grand jury just indicted Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators. The charges stem from a documented pattern of harassment against his wife Mica Miller in the months before her death in April 2024. According to the indictment, Miller posted intimate photos of her online without consent, placed tracking devices on her vehicle, contacted her over fifty times in a single day, and lied to federal investigators about sabotaging her car. But the indictment only scratches the surface. Sworn affidavits describe years of coercive control — isolation, financial manipulation, threats, surveillance. Mica told police JP had "groomed" her since she was a child. His first wife says she went to police in 2015 after he confessed to being inappropriate with underage church members. She says they told her no one would believe her. Two civil lawsuits now accuse Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s. Both name his father as a co-defendant and allege their churches enabled abuse for decades. And then there's the other death. Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran — drowned in 2021, two weeks after allegedly confronting Miller about an affair with his wife. That wife is now married to JP Miller. Robin Dreeke has spent his career studying manipulation, deception, and how predators operate. In this interview, he analyzes the behavioral patterns in this case — the pulpit announcement, the documented control tactics, the lies that caught Miller, and what it takes to stop someone like this. #MicaMiller #JPMiller #RobinDreeke #FBI #JusticeForMica #CoerciveControl #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #SolidRockChurch #CrimePsych Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The charges stem from a documented pattern of harassment against his wife Mica Miller in the months before her death in April 2024. According to the indictment, Miller posted intimate photos of her online without consent, placed tracking devices on her vehicle, contacted her over fifty times in a single day, and lied to federal investigators about sabotaging her car. But the indictment only scratches the surface. Sworn affidavits describe years of coercive control — isolation, financial manipulation, threats, surveillance. Mica told police JP had "groomed" her since she was a child. His first wife says she went to police in 2015 after he confessed to being inappropriate with underage church members. She says they told her no one would believe her. Two civil lawsuits now accuse Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s. Both name his father as a co-defendant and allege their churches enabled abuse for decades. And then there's the other death. Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran — drowned in 2021, two weeks after allegedly confronting Miller about an affair with his wife. That wife is now married to JP Miller. Robin Dreeke has spent his career studying manipulation, deception, and how predators operate. In this interview, he analyzes the behavioral patterns in this case — the pulpit announcement, the documented control tactics, the lies that caught Miller, and what it takes to stop someone like this. #MicaMiller #JPMiller #RobinDreeke #FBI #JusticeForMica #CoerciveControl #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #SolidRockChurch #CrimePsych Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A shocking double homicide has stunned Southern California as investigators piece together what happened to Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner, a married couple found brutally murdered in their home. In a rapid and deeply disturbing development, their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged within 24 hours of the discovery of their bodies. This true crime case has quickly drawn national attention due to its violent nature, the family connection, and the alarming details emerging from the investigation. According to early reports, the events leading up to the murders began at a party attended by the family, where witnesses say Nick Reiner was acting erratically. Concerned guests reportedly noticed his behavior, and a public argument broke out after Rob Reiner confronted his son about his conduct. The confrontation was serious enough that the family left the gathering immediately, marking what may have been the final public sighting of Rob and Michelle Reiner alive. Later that night, surveillance footage reportedly captured Nick Reiner wandering alone in the dark, not appearing intoxicated but moving aimlessly in the hours before the killings. After the murders, additional footage showed him stopping at a convenience store before checking into a Santa Monica hotel. When law enforcement searched that hotel room, investigators described it as a chaotic and bloody scene, a critical piece of evidence now central to the case. This case falls into a rare category of homicide known as parricide, the killing of one's parents. Former FBI-trained profiler and crime scene reconstruction expert Paul Rosa explains that such crimes account for only one to two percent of homicides annually. He notes consistent patterns, including long histories of substance abuse, mental health struggles, impulsivity, and a triggering confrontation that escalates beyond control. Nick Reiner's background includes years of reported drug use, repeated stays in rehabilitation, homelessness across multiple states, and an apparent resistance to continued treatment. Experts suggest that a breaking point, possibly involving pressure to return to rehab, may have ignited the fatal violence. Investigators are still working to determine whether the killings were premeditated or the result of an explosive confrontation inside the home. As breaking news continues to unfold, this developing true crime story raises haunting questions about family conflict, untreated addiction, and the devastating consequences when warning signs go unheeded. More details are expected as authorities continue their investigation into the murders of Rob and Michelle Reiner. #RobReiner #MichelleReiner #NickReiner #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #FamilyMurder #Parricide #CrimeNews #Justice #Homicide Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nearly four years after five-year-old Summer Wells vanished from her home in rural Tennessee, the case remains one of the most haunting missing person investigations in recent true crime history. In November, federal and state authorities quietly returned to the field, conducting a new search roughly nine miles from where Summer was last seen on the 3500 block of Van Hill Road. The renewed activity involved the FBI, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office, immediately raising questions about what prompted investigators to act again after so much time.  According to a former FBI agent familiar with how these cases operate, the Bureau has been involved in the Summer Wells investigation since the early days under what is known as a police cooperation case, a formal partnership that allows federal resources to support local law enforcement when needed. In this instance, a tip reportedly triggered the search, and while every tip is logged and reviewed, the decision to deploy specialized teams and heavy resources suggests investigators believed the information warranted serious attention.  Reports from the area described excavation and the movement of dirt, fueling intense public interest and speculation, though authorities have not confirmed what, if anything, was found. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explains that searches of this scale are not conducted lightly and typically require either a search warrant supported by probable cause or legally documented consent. Warrants, she notes, are preferred in complex cases because they protect the integrity of any evidence recovered and withstand scrutiny in court.  Despite public curiosity, law enforcement rarely discloses the outcome of such searches, especially in an active missing child investigation, leaving families and communities suspended between hope and fear. The Summer Wells case continues to be defined by unanswered questions, red flags, and the unwavering effort to uncover the truth. As investigators follow every credible lead, this latest search underscores a sobering reality in true crime and breaking news alike: authorities have not given up on finding answers about what happened to Summer Wells. #SummerWells #MissingPerson #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #FBIInvestigation #ChildAbduction #UnsolvedCases #JusticeForSummer #TennesseeCrime #ColdCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The case of 18-year-old Anna Kepner has gripped the true crime community with its disturbing and heartbreaking details. What was supposed to be a family cruise turned into a scene of horror when Anna was found dead under a bed, strangled and hidden beneath life jackets and blankets. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, alongside legal and investigative experts, dissects the chilling evidence and unanswered questions surrounding this case. With her stepbrother reportedly the last to see her alive, the mystery deepens as authorities navigate a complex web of family dynamics, digital evidence, and jurisdictional challenges. The crime occurred while the ship was at sea, creating unique legal obstacles between federal and local authorities. Investigators are now piecing together hours of surveillance footage, phone data, and witness interviews to determine what really happened that night. Coffindaffer explains how the type of hold used to strangle Anna—known to law enforcement as a “crowded hold”—reveals both training and intent. Yet, despite compelling evidence, no arrest has been made, leaving many to question why the stepbrother remains free. Federal and local agencies must now decide whether the case will be prosecuted under the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act or handed to Florida authorities for state charges. The tragic death of Anna Kepner has become more than just a case—it's a haunting example of how justice can be delayed by legal complexity and bureaucracy. As the world watches, the question remains: will there ever be accountability for Anna's death, or will this case fade into another unsolved tragedy on the high seas? #TrueCrime #AnnaKepner #CruiseShipMurder #FBIInvestigation #BreakingNews #JusticeForAnna #CrimeAtSea #CriminalJustice #MissingPersons #MurderMystery Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Check our Facebook page first before you come just to make sure there have been no last minute changes. In Part 2 of Greg and Ed's interview with John Schachnovsky, the former head of the FBI in Thailand, the men continue discussing John's varied responsibilities in the Land of Smiles, this time focusing on specific cases. John brings up the he played in the Asian Tsunami of 2004 and how the FBI used its technology to help identify myriad victims. John mentions that due to the close working relationship between the U.S. and Thai governments, the FBI would lend a helping hand (often one with advanced technology) anytime it could. Greg then brings up a very current issue - the horrible crimes being committed by cross border scam centers. John mentions that the issue was already hot for the FBI several years ago during his tenure. He emphasizes the unique complexity of such crimes - they involve multiple nations, honchos who themselves often come from other countries such as China, and lower level perpetrators who are themselves often victims of trafficking.  To wrap up, the guys get personal and discuss John's love of Thailand and his project getting his wife to agree to stay in the country permanently. Greg and Ed wouldn't know anything about that! Get John's book here!

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Robin Dreeke — retired FBI Special Agent and former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — for a deep dive into the psychological collapse that happened inside the Delphi investigation. This isn't about evidence. This is about behavior. The behavior of the investigators who shaped the case. The depositions reveal an investigative team working under immense pressure. And according to Robin, that pressure didn't make the team sharper — it made them fracture. He explains how emotional fatigue, leadership confusion, and cognitive bias can break down an investigation from the inside long before the public ever sees the cracks. We talk about why investigators remembered key events differently. Why deeply contradictory testimony came from people sitting at the same table. Why timeline elements were reframed. Why symbolic evidence was ignored. Why the BAU's early assessment seemed to vanish. Why investigators became anchored to a single suspect. And why potential alternative suspects weren't pursued with even basic curiosity. Robin walks us through the behavioral science behind all of this: how fear reshapes memory, how teams under stress cling to simplistic narratives, how cognitive overload leads to dismissing complex information, and how internal uncertainty creates outward certainty that doesn't match the reality behind the scenes. This is not a takedown of law enforcement — it's a human analysis of what happens when people face overwhelming expectation, limited resources, and a community demanding closure. If you've always felt something “off” about the way Delphi unfolded, this episode will help you understand exactly what that “off” feeling is — and why the depositions expose a psychological unraveling at the heart of the case. #DelphiCase #FBIAnalysis #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeDeepDive #BehavioralScience #RichardAllen #JusticeAnalysis #MentalBias #InvestigativeFailures #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In part 1 of a two-part episode, Greg and Ed interview John Schachnovsky about his upcoming book "Beyond the Badge," which recounts his experience as the head of the FBI in Thailand. John starts out explaining his early career with the FBI and his subsequent move to Bangkok. Greg and Ed ask about the exact role of the FBI oversees and John explains in detail. First, as a branch of the U.S. government, the FBI has no legal jurisdiction in Thailand and must work directly with the Thai government for everything they do. Second, the FBI's role is entirely distinct from the CIA. The FBI does law enforcement, the CIA does intelligence gathering with a focus on American national security. That being said, the two agencies did and do share information when it supports their respective missions.  Next, the men focus on the reputation of the Royal Thai Police, which, to put it bluntly, is not good. John stresses that he found the RTP to be hardworking and professional overall, but admits that in some cases, the RTP had different ideas about what counts as 'corruption' and what does not. He emphasizes that, at least in his experience, the reputation is undeserved and he hopes to correct it in his book, which you can get here, or at Asia Books in Thailand. Tune in next week for Part 2 and a discussion of some of John's more famous cases.  

Authorities in Los Angeles are unraveling a chilling true crime case that began with the discovery of a 14-year-old girl's body inside the trunk—known as the “frunk”—of a Tesla owned by recording artist David, a popular social media personality with a massive following. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been missing for months before her severely decomposed remains were found sealed inside a black trash bag in the front compartment of the car. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the disturbing evidence and the unanswered questions surrounding this case. Was this an accident, a cover-up, or something far darker? Despite widespread reports that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause or manner of Celeste's death, the circumstances surrounding her discovery have left both investigators and the public horrified. Coffindaffer details how the Tesla was towed after being parked near David's home for an extended period, the odor of decay leading police to the grisly discovery. The body—reportedly weighing only 70 pounds due to severe decomposition—was found in a space barely large enough to fit golf clubs, suggesting possible dismemberment or deliberate concealment.

Experts in forensic entomology and anthropology are now examining the remains to determine how long Celeste had been dead and whether her injuries point to foul play.

This heartbreaking story exposes the dark side of online fame and exploitation, as questions mount about how a child's life ended in such a horrific way. Was it negligence, grooming, or a calculated act of violence? As new forensic results come to light, the world waits for justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez. #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #TeslaCase #BreakingNews #ForensicInvestigation #JusticeForCeleste #CrimeWatch #MissingPerson #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Authorities in Los Angeles are unraveling a chilling true crime case that began with the discovery of a 14-year-old girl's body inside the trunk—known as the “frunk”—of a Tesla owned by recording artist David, a popular social media personality with a massive following. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been missing for months before her severely decomposed remains were found sealed inside a black trash bag in the front compartment of the car. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the disturbing evidence and the unanswered questions surrounding this case.

A Note from JamesOh my gosh—I was scared after this one. In this episode, I learned about what's really on the dark web… and the even scarier stuff on what's called the deep web.Eric O'Neill—who, by the way, is the former FBI agent who brought down Robert Hanssen, the biggest double agent in U.S. history—joined me for this conversation. Hanssen was the FBI's top analyst on the Soviet Union, and at the same time, he was secretly working for the Soviet Union—for twenty-two years. Eric was the one who caught him. There was even a movie made about it—Breach (2007).Now Eric has written a book called Spies, Lies, and Cybercrime: Cybersecurity Tactics to Outsmart Hackers and Disarm Scammers. And honestly, it's terrifying what's out there right now—the dark web, the black markets, the cyberattacks, the scams that most of us have no idea are happening in the background of our digital lives.I'll let Eric tell the stories.Episode DescriptionIn this episode, James talks with Eric O'Neill—former FBI counterintelligence operative and the man who captured the most notorious spy in U.S. history—about the unseen cyber battlefield shaping our world today. O'Neill explains how hackers, state actors, and scammers exploit human psychology far more than technology, and why every one of us is a potential target.From the lessons of his undercover work tracking Robert Hanssen to the rise of ransomware and AI-assisted phishing, O'Neill offers both a chilling reality check and a practical guide for staying safe in the digital age.

This week, Jason is joined by author, entrepreneur, professor, and most notably former member of the FBI, known as the mast negotiator, Chris Voss! Chris earned that title throughout his time serving as the lead crisis negotiator for the New York City division of the FBI, and then as FBI's Chief International Hostage and Kidnapping negotiator. In 2008, after spending 24 years and working 150 international hostage cases for the FBI, Chris founded the Black Swan group which serves as a consulting and training agency for both businesses and individuals on negotiating skills. He has also published several NYT bestselling books. The former FBI hostage negotiator pulls back the curtain on the art and science of high-stakes communication. Chris breaks down his thoughts on President Trump's negotiation tactics, explains what an “accusation audit” is and why it's so effective, and shares how he reacts when others use his own techniques against him. He dives into knowing when to walk away, why every interaction should end on a high note, and what to do when you're being ghosted. Chris also brings his negotiation expertise into everyday life—offering strategies for navigating dating, marriage, and divorce, the power of telling the truth, and why curiosity can be a superpower when dealing with tight-lipped people. He reveals how a kidnapping hostage negotiation unfolds, the cost of a bad deal, why trusting your gut matters, and his best tips for negotiating your salary. Chris reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
