Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Kouri Richins, the Utah real estate agent who poisoned her husband Eric with a lethal dose of fentanyl. In the spring of 2022, Eric Richins was found dead in his home in the mountains of Kamas, Utah -- and within months, his wife was giving interviews, appearing on morning television, and publishing a picture book about grief. But what investigators uncovered beneath that carefully constructed image was something far darker. Candice examines how a childhood marked by absent parents, financial chaos, and a lifelong need for external validation set the stage for a murder disguised as mourning.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Sid Vicious and the unsolved murder of Nancy Spungen. On the morning of October 12th, 1978, Nancy was found stabbed to death on the bathroom floor of Room 100 at New York City's legendary Chelsea Hotel — and the only suspect was the man she loved. Candice examines how two profoundly damaged people, bound together by trauma, addiction, and a relationship built on destruction, collided in a way that left one of punk rock's greatest mysteries permanently unsolved.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the chilling case of Joanna Dennehy, a brutal serial killer inspired by the film Kill Bill. Over just ten days in the spring of 2013, three men were stabbed to death in quiet English towns, and no one could believe what they were seeing -- because the killer was a woman who hunted for sport. Candice examines how Dennehy used charm, manipulation, and a rare appetite for violence to murder for pleasure across a single brutal week -- and how one survivor's ability to identify her tattoo finally brought her killing spree to an end.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Retired FBI behavioral analysis chief Robin Dreeke has studied people who present one face to the world and allegedly operate from an entirely different place underneath. The behavioral picture emerging from inside Twin Towers Correctional Facility is the kind of contradiction his career was built to decode.Nick Reiner is reportedly described as almost childlike in custody — delusional, allegedly unable to process why he's incarcerated, reportedly screaming innocence at night. Simultaneously, he's reportedly planning a revenge tell-all designed to humiliate his surviving siblings and expose what he calls family secrets. Those two realities existing in the same person at the same time tells Dreeke something specific about what's allegedly driving the behavior — and whether the reported tell-all is strategy, symptom, or someone else's influence.The behavioral context is significant. Nick's schizoaffective disorder diagnosis is documented. A reported medication change occurred approximately a month before the alleged killings. Multiple sources describe a deterioration in the period leading up to the night Rob and Michele Reiner were allegedly killed in their own home. Jake and Romy have reportedly cut contact. The defense attorney quit.Jake Reiner broke his silence with a Substack essay about his parents — who they were, what they gave, what was stolen. He wrote about trading every milestone ahead for one more hour with them. That essay and Nick's reported tell-all exist in the same family, and the gap between them is the emotional center of this case.Dreeke examines the listener questions driving the conversation: can an insanity defense work under these circumstances, what does a medication change mean in the context of alleged violence, and the hardest question of all — what happens when a family does literally everything and still allegedly loses everything? The question of who's behind the reported tell-all remains open.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 Retired FBI counterintelligence behavioral analysis chief Robin Dreeke has spent decades studying how people allegedly manipulate, isolate, and control. The alleged patterns prosecutors describe in the D4VD case are the kind he's trained to decode — and the behavioral questions extend far beyond the defendant.According to prosecutors, Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen when she was allegedly killed because she threatened to tell the truth about a relationship that reportedly began when she was thirteen. Dreeke examines the alleged grooming architecture: the financial manipulation, the alleged thousand-dollar payment to a classmate to reportedly get Celeste a new phone after her parents took hers, the alleged international travel where she reportedly met Burke's family and allegedly got matching tattoos, and the deliberate isolation that allegedly severed her from every protective adult in her life. He draws comparisons to behavioral patterns he's studied in other federal cases.The bystander dimension is equally significant. Three separate grand juries heard testimony from people in Burke's orbit. His manager was reportedly overheard telling an attorney that reporting to police was not his responsibility. Friends reportedly accepted a story that the fourteen-year-old was a college student — despite what prosecutors describe as obvious signs to the contrary. Someone in Burke's Discord server reportedly posted about the missing girl months after she disappeared. Nobody reportedly acted. Burke's parents and brother were subpoenaed. Court records indicate his mother reportedly managed his business finances.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the mechanisms that allegedly allow networks of people to reportedly fail to intervene — the professional loyalty, the financial dependence, the willful blindness that reportedly enables alleged harm to continue in plain sight.The alleged disposal evidence prosecutors describe raises additional questions about whether someone else was allegedly involved and reportedly backed out. Burke has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Buster Murdaugh spent the entire first trial projecting loyalty — sitting behind Alex every day, testifying that his father wasn't capable of killing Maggie and Paul. Then three years of near-total silence. Now that the South Carolina Supreme Court has reversed the convictions and a retrial looms, the behavioral picture has shifted completely. Sources say Buster is reportedly furious, allegedly calling Alex a "selfish old man." That's not the posture of someone preparing to defend his father again.Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke and Jennifer Coffindaffer break down what Buster's withdrawal pattern actually signals — what three years of distance, minimal prison contact, and a quiet marriage say about where his allegiance sits heading into a second trial. Coffindaffer raises the structural flaw in the State's family annihilation theory that nobody else is asking about: if Alex allegedly killed to protect secrets, why is Buster alive? Maggie wouldn't have believed a story about Paul's death if Buster were dead too. That contradiction doesn't just weaken the motive — it reshapes how a jury processes the entire case.Then there's the insurance scheme — Alex allegedly staging his own roadside shooting so Buster could collect ten million dollars. Was that a father's warped devotion or a con man using his own son as a tool? Both readings are available to a jury and both cut in different directions.Eric Faddis rounds out the analysis with the legal framework. The Supreme Court's reversal found procedural violations and excessive financial crimes testimony. Faddis maps the retrial terrain: what evidence survives, what gets cut, how Alex's locked-in testimony constrains the defense, and what Becky Hill's criminal conviction means for jury selection. The question both sides have to answer: which side would you rather be on walking into round two?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Michael Gargiulo, known as the Hollywood Ripper. For more than a decade, women in the suburbs of Chicago and the Hollywood Hills were being murdered in their own homes, and no one saw it coming -- because the killer was never a stranger. He was the boy next door, the friendly repairman, the neighbor who waved from across the street. Candice examines how Gargiulo used proximity, access, and an unsettling gift for blending in to evade justice for fifteen years -- and how one survivor's refusal to give up changed everything.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks the Nancy Guthrie case open across three conversations that challenge the public's understanding from the ground up.She starts with the offender. The behavioral profile doesn't add up: enough preparation to conceal identity and target the surveillance system, but enough sloppiness to leave behind a forensic footprint investigators could follow. The calm, unhurried approach suggests someone familiar with the area or the victim — not a stranger operating on impulse. And the victimology undermines the kidnapping narrative entirely. An 84-year-old woman with medical needs and mobility limitations is the most impractical ransom target imaginable.Then the institutional failure. The FBI's public criticism of the case's handling signals a level of frustration that doesn't develop unless serious operational time and evidence have already been lost. Coffindaffer explains the cascading damage: degraded biological material, unreliable witness timelines, fractured tip management, and an investigative culture that shifts from pursuit to self-protection.Finally, the narrative itself. The ransom notes went to media — not the family. They're from opportunists, not the offender. But they built a motive framework the public adopted without question. Coffindaffer strips it away and examines what the remaining evidence actually supports: improvisation masked as planning, theater mistaken for discipline, and a suspect who may be hiding behind the noise of their own case's fame.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every investigation builds a profile. And in the Nancy Guthrie case, the profile doesn't add up. The person who allegedly approached her Tucson home showed partial preparation — concealment, a weapon, interference with the surveillance camera. But the execution was riddled with exposure. The digital trail allegedly survived. The forensic footprint was enormous. And the ransom communications that followed — which we've long identified as opportunistic noise from unconnected parties — created a fog that obscured the real offender's behavior.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines what it means when a suspect's preparation doesn't match their competence. She digs into whether the calm, unhurried approach suggests prior familiarity with the neighborhood or the victim, what kind of reconnaissance might explain the timing, and why someone targeting an 84-year-old woman with medication needs and mobility limitations isn't thinking about ransom logistics. They're thinking about something else entirely.This is the kind of behavioral analysis that separates surface-level coverage from the questions that actually move a case forward. Coffindaffer doesn't offer easy answers — she forces harder questions.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Carl Panzram, one of the most brutal and unrepentant criminals in American history. In the early twentieth century, Panzram's trail of violence stretched across multiple continents, leaving behind at least 21 murder victims -- many of them still unidentified to this day. What investigators eventually uncovered was a killer unlike any other: a man who not only confessed to his crimes without remorse, but bragged about them. Candice examines how a childhood defined by abandonment, cruelty, and institutional abuse forged a worldview so dark and so absolute that by the time the world tried to intervene, it was far too late.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Brenda Ann Spencer, the teenager behind one of the earliest school shootings in modern American history. On the morning of January 29th, 1979, at just 16 years old, Brenda opened fire on children arriving at an elementary school across the street from her home, killing two and wounding nine others. When asked why she did it, her answer was chilling in its simplicity: she didn't like Mondays. But what investigators uncovered was not a story that began that morning – it was one that had been unfolding for years, in plain sight. Candice examines how a childhood marked by neglect, untreated mental illness, and a system that failed her at every turn culminated in an act of violence that would cast a long and devastating shadow over American history.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

David Anthony Burke — the recording artist known as D4VD — has been charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen, and mutilation of human remains in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He has pleaded not guilty. The special circumstances include allegations of lying in wait, financial motive, and killing a witness — making this a case where prosecutors could seek the most severe penalty available.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer brings her federal investigative experience to every layer of this case. Coffindaffer spent her career inside complex investigations, and she applies that lens to the full evidence trail: the tracking data that allegedly places Burke in a remote, deserted area of Santa Barbara County during the window investigators believe Celeste died; the reports that his circle allegedly believed she was a nineteen-year-old college student when she was a child; the electronics seizures from his rental property; the burn cage incinerator on the premises; and the evidence boxes detectives carried out of a separate address the night of the arrest.Coffindaffer also examines the procedural path this case took. LAPD initially moved on a Ramey warrant — a probable cause arrest warrant secured directly from a judge, bypassing the grand jury process. A secret grand jury investigation had been underway for months, its existence revealed only when Burke's family members challenged subpoenas in a Texas court. Charges were ultimately filed by the DA's office, and the defense has pushed for an expedited public preliminary hearing.And Coffindaffer addresses the rare public friction between the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office and LAPD over the autopsy gag order — a clash that cuts against the usual grain of how these two agencies operate together. The people whose job it is to speak for the dead were told to stay silent, and they objected publicly.This is analysis from someone who has built cases like this from the inside — and who does not soften what the evidence trail is showing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, the man who assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Shortly after midnight on June 5th, 1968, a gunshot in the kitchen of a Los Angeles hotel changed the course of American history. What investigators uncovered was a killer unlike any other: a deeply traumatized young man whose wounds of war and loss had quietly curdled into rage. Candice examines how a childhood defined by displacement and violence laid the psychological groundwork for radicalization, and how a single perceived betrayal transformed an admirer into an assassin.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Joseph Duggar faces two counts in Bay County, Florida — lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim under twelve and lewd and lascivious conduct by a person eighteen or older — stemming from allegations tied to a 2020 family vacation in Panama City Beach. According to the arrest affidavit filed by the Bay County Sheriff's Office, a fourteen-year-old girl disclosed during a forensic interview that Duggar allegedly molested her on multiple occasions when she was nine years old. The affidavit states that the girl's father confronted Duggar, who reportedly admitted to the conduct. Tontitown detectives subsequently monitored a phone call in which Duggar allegedly admitted to the actions a second time. Duggar posted a $600,000 bond following a first appearance in Bay County Court and was ordered to have no unsupervised contact with any minor, including his own four children. An arraignment is pending. Both Joseph and Kendra Duggar also face misdemeanor charges in Arkansas — four counts each of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree false imprisonment — with a court date set in Elm Springs District Court.Monitored jail communications and written correspondence from inside the Duggar family reveal a pattern of response that diverges significantly from the family's coordinated public statements. Jim Bob Duggar's initial written message to his son reportedly centered on theological forgiveness rather than the alleged victim. Kendra Duggar's language on a monitored call included the word "disappointed." Anna Duggar — wife of Josh Duggar, who is serving a twelve-and-a-half-year federal sentence on child sexual abuse material charges — reportedly contributed financially to Joseph's commissary account. Retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke provides analysis on the behavioral signatures present in these communications.The institutional backdrop to the Duggar family's formation is also under examination. Bill Gothard founded the Institute in Basic Life Principles in 1961. Thirty-four women have accused Gothard of misconduct and inappropriate behavior, with some alleging the conduct occurred when they were minors. Gothard has denied all allegations. An internal IBLP investigation in 2014 found he had acted "inappropriately," and he resigned. He has never been criminally charged. In June 2025, the Texas Supreme Court denied IBLP's petition to dismiss a lawsuit alleging the organization's teachings were designed to facilitate conditions enabling abuse, allowing the case to proceed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Investigators followed Rex Heuermann for months through Manhattan before a discarded pizza crust gave them everything. That abandoned sample — recovered legally from public garbage — produced a DNA match to a male hair found wrapped in burlap around Megan Waterman's remains on Ocean Parkway. One connection. That match generated the warrants for Heuermann's home, his devices, and the digital trove prosecutors say reveals the most meticulously documented serial killing case investigators have encountered.Megan was 22, a mother from Scarborough, Maine, who called her three-year-old daughter every day without exception. When those calls stopped in June 2010, her family filed a missing persons report within two days. Surveillance footage from a Holiday Inn Express in Hauppauge shows her walking out the door at 1:15 a.m. She was found six months later alongside the rest of the Gilgo Four.Heuermann stood in a Suffolk County courtroom and pleaded guilty to seven murders — Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, and Megan Waterman — spanning seventeen years from 1993 to 2010. He admitted to intentionally causing the death of an eighth victim, Karen Vergata, whose case was folded into the plea agreement. Prosecutors allege every killing occurred when Heuermann's wife and children were out of state, and that his devices contained checklists, methodology notes, and instructions for destroying evidence.His defense attorney framed the plea as "relief." The FBI cooperation agreement — requiring Heuermann to sit for behavioral analysis interviews — is built directly into the deal. Retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke and defense attorney Eric Faddis break down what the documented methodology reveals, what the defense traded in the plea, and why the courtroom moment matters far less than what investigators found on those devices.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

30 years after ""The Unabomber's"" arrest, Ted Kaczynski's ideas are more alive than ever, cited by killers like Luigi Mangione, debated by philosophers and celebrated by people who see him as a prophet rather than a murderer. Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong, who sat alone with him hours after his capture, will share all-new anecdotes about Kaczynski's case, his capture, her own (not entirely accurate) portrayal in Michael Mann's film ""The Insider,"" and how we can still gain valuable insights from his case three decades later. This episode also details Ted's death, his strange afterlife in the culture, and a reckoning with the uncomfortable questions his legacy forces us to ask. Candice serves as our guide through both the past and the present — and reflects on the person she believes is the true hero of the story: David Kaczynski, the brother whose agonizing decision to turn Ted in may have saved countless lives.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Follow Forbes True Crime  The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has stretched into its second month. The mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie went missing from her Tucson home over 60 days ago. Authorities know that her doorbell camera was disconnected in the early hours of February 1st, and 41 minutes later, her pacemaker app was disconnected from her phone. Ten days into her disappearance, authorities seemed to catch a break when recovered Google Nest footage showed what appeared to be an armed and masked suspect outside of her door the morning of her disappearance, tampering with the doorbell camera. But over 60 days since Nancy Guthrie disappeared, she still hasn't been found and no suspects have publicly been named. Dr. Raymond Carr, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the status of the case.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Luka Magnotta, known as the Butcher of Montreal. In the spring of 2012, a shocking video showing the murder of a university student named Jun Lin began circulating across the internet, setting off a chain of events that would horrify an entire nation. What investigators uncovered was a killer unlike any other: a deeply troubled, fame-obsessed man whose lifelong hunger for notoriety would ultimately become both his motive and his undoing. Candice examines how a turbulent childhood, a history of severe mental illness, and an obsessive need to be seen at any cost culminated in one of the most disturbing crimes in Canadian history.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Three cases. Three distinct legal landscapes. And one conversation that gets to the procedural questions that matter most.Rex Heuermann is reportedly expected to plead guilty on April 8 in the Gilgo Beach killings — a plea that has not yet been entered and could still fall apart. If it holds, it would resolve charges connected to seven victims while closing the courtroom before a trial — no testimony under oath, no cross-examination, no public evidentiary record of the kind full proceedings create. Four families tied to uncharged deaths would not be reached by that expected plea.The Nancy Guthrie abduction is being investigated by a department with a documented institutional crisis. Dr. Richard Carmona — a former U.S. Surgeon General and former Pima County sheriff — went on record stating the crime scene was corrupted, calling it an irreversible error. The deputies' union passed a unanimous no-confidence vote. The Board of Supervisors invoked a rare law requiring the sheriff to submit reports under oath. More than 18,000 tips have been received with no named suspect. Ransom notes demanding cryptocurrency payment arrived and went past their deadlines. The legal integrity of any eventual case will have to be established within this context.Joseph Duggar faces felony charges in Florida — accused of molesting a then-9-year-old girl during a 2020 family vacation, incidents he allegedly admitted to when confronted by the victim's father and again to law enforcement detectives. He and Kendra face separate Arkansas misdemeanor counts for child endangerment and false imprisonment. Jim Bob Duggar's documented decision to handle Josh's conduct without law enforcement contact raises accountability questions that the existing charges do not address.Today on True Crime Today, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins me to go through listener questions on all three cases — examining the legal record, the procedural stakes, and what the documented evidence means for the people still waiting on answers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kelsey Fitzsimmons bench trial has concluded its evidentiary phase. Both sides have rested. Closing arguments are pending, with a verdict potentially to follow the same day. A single judge will determine whether the single count — assault with a dangerous weapon — is supported beyond a reasonable doubt.The central factual dispute: the prosecution contends that Fitzsimmons, a former North Andover police officer, raised her service weapon and directed it at Officer Patrick Noonan's face, pulled the trigger on an unchambered round, and racked the slide before Noonan discharged his weapon. The defense contends the weapon was raised to Fitzsimmons's own temple throughout — that this was a mental health crisis and suicide attempt, not an assault — and that Fitzsimmons was shot while in crisis, not while threatening another officer.Fitzsimmons testified in her own defense on day three, providing her account of the sequence directly. Her testimony included statements made in the ambulance following the shooting. A neighbor of Noonan's also testified on day three. Fitzsimmons's mother testified that she was present in the home, heard two shots, and did not hear her daughter speak. A defense-requested site visit, litigated over two days, was cancelled without explanation following Fitzsimmons's testimony.Of legal significance: the grand jury declined to indict on armed assault with intent to murder prior to trial — the top charge the prosecution originally pursued. The case proceeded on the lesser assault count. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta examines what that pre-trial grand jury outcome signals about the evidentiary posture, the strategic calculus behind the bench trial election, and the legal architecture of a mental health defense that incorporates postpartum depression, prior on-duty trauma, and post-incident clinical findings without becoming a prosecution narrative. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke addresses the evidentiary weight of behavioral testimony and what officer statements on scene — including the words spoken immediately before the shot was fired — communicate about real-time perception under stress. Martha Coakley, former Massachusetts Attorney General, leads the defense.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On True Crime Today, we're examining the legal and procedural dimensions of the criminal charges now facing Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar — and what the documented history of this household establishes as evidentiary context for prosecutors approaching this case.Joseph Duggar faces criminal charges. Kendra Duggar faces separate charges. Josh Duggar is currently serving a federal sentence following conviction on child sexual abuse material offenses, with his appeal exhausted. These are the documented legal facts. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examines what an established pattern of internal management of alleged offenses within a family creates for prosecutors — how prior conduct, prior decisions by household adults, and the documented response to Josh Duggar's case may shape the evidentiary theory in the current matter.The alleged victim in this case reportedly experienced the alleged offense at age nine and did not disclose for five years. Under established forensic interview protocol and research on childhood sexual abuse disclosure, delayed reporting is well-documented and carries specific legal significance — both in how it affects the investigative timeline and how prosecutors and defense attorneys address it with juries.Kendra Duggar's documented age at the time of her marriage into this household, her religious upbringing, and the theological framework in which she was raised are legally relevant context when evaluating what prosecutors may allege she knew, when she knew it, and what her legal obligations were.Jim Bob Duggar's documented prior handling of Josh Duggar's alleged conduct — including decisions made prior to law enforcement contact — may form part of the evidentiary backdrop shaping how prosecutors construct the current case.Robin Dreeke walks through each of these legal dimensions and what they mean for how this case is likely to proceed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Hidden Killers team examines the institutional framework behind the Duggar family — the Institute in Basic Life Principles — and what the documented teachings of that organization reveal about the conditions that enabled the pattern of alleged conduct now producing multiple criminal cases within a single family across multiple generations.The IBLP's Umbrella of Authority doctrine establishes a hierarchical authority structure in which male patriarchs hold absolute control, wives submit to that authority, and children submit to both. Questioning this hierarchy is framed within the doctrine as spiritual disobedience. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examines how that authority framework functions in documented practice when harm occurs inside the household — specifically what it does to the capacity for reporting, disclosure, or external intervention.IBLP curricula do not include sex education, age-appropriate boundary instruction, or abuse recognition frameworks. Former members have documented this as deliberate design rather than oversight. Robin addresses the established psychological research on what children raised without abuse recognition language are able to do when they experience harm — and what the absence of that vocabulary means for investigators when disclosures occur years later.Bill Gothard founded IBLP and led it for approximately six decades. More than 34 women have publicly accused him of harassment and sexual abuse. He is currently 91 years old and has never faced criminal charges. The organization he founded continues to operate. Robin examines how high-control religious institutions create structural immunity for leadership figures — and how that immunity cascades downward through the families inside the system.Former Duggar family members have publicly described leaving the IBLP framework in terms that parallel what researchers describe as cult exit and recovery — not religious transition. Robin addresses what that clinical and institutional distinction means for how we categorize and scrutinize organizations of this type.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Hidden Killers team examines the documented investigative developments in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance at the seven-week mark — including the reported FBI canvassing activity targeting individuals who left the area prior to her disappearance, the exposed conduct of the case's sheriff, and the unaddressed date the family has continued to publicly emphasize.According to reporting, FBI agents have been canvassing Nancy Guthrie's former neighborhood with specific questions about individuals who moved out of the area in the period before her disappearance. At day 49 of the investigation, canvassing of this nature is not routine broad-based outreach. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examines what a targeted inquiry of this type — focused specifically on people who departed the area prior to the disappearance — indicates about the working investigative theory and the timeline investigators are prioritizing.The Guthrie family has independently issued a public statement asking Tucson community members to search their memories and come forward with relevant information — a step that goes beyond standard family advocacy and represents a direct community outreach effort operating parallel to the official investigation. Robin addresses what this kind of parallel effort typically indicates about a family's assessment of investigative progress, and what the risks and potential benefits of that approach are at this stage.The sheriff with operational involvement in this case was recently reported to have provided false testimony under oath regarding his own prior record. Robin examines the documented behavioral indicators associated with deception by authority figures, and the investigative implications when the public credibility of senior law enforcement leadership is compromised mid-investigation.The Guthrie family has repeatedly and specifically referenced January 11th — approximately three weeks prior to Nancy's disappearance — as a date of significance. Law enforcement has not publicly addressed that date or its relevance. That gap is itself a data point, and Robin addresses what it likely means.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Seven weeks into the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, the investigation has reached a critical pivot point — and the Hidden Killers team is examining the developments shaking the case from inside and out. The FBI is reportedly conducting a targeted canvass aimed at individuals who left the area before Nancy vanished, while questions of sheriff misconduct and the still-unaddressed January 11th timeline gap raise escalating concerns about how this case is being handled.According to local reporting, FBI agents have been quietly revisiting Guthrie's former neighborhood, asking pointed questions about those who moved away in the weeks leading up to her disappearance. At day 49, this kind of specific, backward-looking inquiry is no routine sweep — it suggests an active theory and a narrowed focus. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke dissects what this shift signals about investigators' timeline and priorities — and what it may reveal about who they now believe holds the key to Nancy's disappearance.Meanwhile, the Guthrie family has taken matters further, directly urging the Tucson community to search their memories and share any relevant details. Robin breaks down what such parallel public outreach suggests about their confidence in official progress — and the delicate balance between aiding an investigation and pressuring one.Complicating the case further, the sheriff overseeing key elements of the investigation has now been accused of false testimony under oath about his past record. Robin examines the behavioral red flags tied to deception by authority figures — and how compromised leadership at this stage can ripple through an entire investigation.The family continues to emphasize January 11th — roughly three weeks before Nancy vanished — as a date of significance. Law enforcement has yet to publicize its relevance or connection. That silence isn't neutral — it's data. Robin explains what investigators' unwillingness to address that date may really indicate, and why it could be central to understanding what happened to Nancy Guthrie.Each unanswered question now feels heavier. Every delay matters. The clock on this case isn't just ticking — it's running out on clarity.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the shocking murders of legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner. Candice walks through what investigators say happened during the final hours before the couple were found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home, and why their own son, Nick Reiner, quickly became the prime suspect in the case. She breaks down the timeline of the killings, Nick's movements after the crime, and the troubling history of addiction and severe mental health struggles that may play a central role in the investigation. Then, Candice is joined by former Los Angeles prosecutor and legal analyst Josh Ritter, who explains the legal process now unfolding, from Nick Reiner's arraignment to the possibility of an insanity defense and whether prosecutors may seek the death penalty. Together they explore how courts evaluate competency, the difference between mental illness and legal insanity, and what evidence could ultimately determine whether this case ends in prison, a psychiatric institution, or a lengthy jury trial.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the disturbing case of Mary Ann Cotton, the Victorian-era poisoner who used arsenic to systematically eliminate husbands, stepchildren, and even her own children across nearly two decades in Northeast England. Behind the facade of a grieving widow was a calculating killer who collected insurance payouts and cleared the path to her next financial and romantic opportunity with each death. Candice digs into what drove Mary Ann to view her own families as disposable and how her modus operandi and the time period allowed her to stay under the radar for so long -- killing at least 21 people in the process.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nine days of testimony. A housekeeper who says she sold fentanyl. A dealer who says it was oxycodone. A boyfriend's intimate texts read aloud in court. Phone searches asking what poison does to a death certificate. A case built entirely on circumstantial evidence — and a retired FBI Special Agent who knows exactly where it holds and where it doesn't.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the Kouri Richins murder trial from a trained investigative standpoint — starting with the fundamental problem the prosecution now owns: when two immunity witnesses directly contradict each other about whether the drug sold was fentanyl or oxycodone, what does that do to the chain of custody for the substance at the foundation of this entire case? She explains what FBI investigators do when key witnesses undermine each other, and what prosecutors can realistically do to repair a chain that's already been fractured from inside the courtroom.She analyzes the digital forensics — phone searches for poison, death certificates, and deleting iPhone messages — and breaks down what evidentiary weight search history actually carries in an FBI homicide investigation. She walks through the cell tower data, the missed insurance beneficiary change, the GPS text sent on Valentine's Day, and how those pieces function together when no single element is definitive on its own.And she gives an honest read on the overall prosecution case: what lands hardest with juries, what the defense will exploit, and where she sees the single most vulnerable link in nine days of evidence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the disturbing case of Westley Allan Dodd, a serial child killer who terrorized the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s. Beneath his quiet, unassuming exterior lurked violent fantasies he meticulously documented, revealing a calculated escalation from voyeurism and assault to murder. As Dodd's compulsions intensified and his need for control deepened, he carried out crimes that shocked communities and exposed the limits of rehabilitation. Candice explores the psychology of a sexual sadist, the warning signs that preceded his attacks, and how his own chilling confessions provided rare insight into the mind of a predator.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the chilling case of Chris Watts, the seemingly devoted husband and father who killed his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their two young daughters in 2018. Beneath the picture-perfect surface of their Colorado home was a troubling combination of financial pressure, marital discord, and a secret affair. And as Chris began envisioning a future unburdened by responsibility, emotional detachment and his own self-interest gave way to an act of irreversible violence. Candice explores the mindset of a family annihilator, the calculated calm Chris maintained as suspicion mounted, and how a desire for reinvention led to the destruction of his entire family.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong unpacks the disturbing case of Janie Lou Gibbs, a churchgoing mother whose quiet devotion masked a deadly secret. In 1960s Georgia, Janie poisoned her husband, her sons, and her infant grandchild – one by one – while their deaths were dismissed as illness and tragedy. Candice examines how trust, faith, and familiarity allowed Janie to hide in plain sight until an autopsy finally exposed the truth.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

The eighty-four-year-old mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie vanished from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning. But investigators may know exactly when she was taken—thanks to her pacemaker.According to law enforcement sources, Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday. It didn't malfunction. It lost its Bluetooth connection when Nancy was physically moved out of range. The watch was left inside. That disconnect is what investigators are using to narrow down the abduction window.The crime scene evidence is disturbing. Multiple cameras at the property were smashed. The back door was left wide open. Blood was found inside the home and at the front door stoop. Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell analyzed footage and said the round blood droplets suggest Nancy may have been carried out.Then the investigation took an unusual turn. Roughly thirty hours after the initial response, the scene was released—tape came down, activity slowed. Without explanation, everything reversed. Crime scene tape went back up. Multiple agencies surged in. Canine units arrived. Grid searches focused on the garage. Something pulled investigators back with urgency.The investigation has reportedly turned toward family as standard procedure. Annie Guthrie's vehicle was impounded. FBI agents spent two hours at her home. Reports of ransom-style messages referencing cryptocurrency remain unverified. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a plea specifically requesting proof of life—language that signals concern about the credibility of communications received.Nancy cannot walk fifty yards unassisted and requires daily medication that could be fatal if missed. Past the seventy-two-hour mark. When asked if they believe she's alive, Sheriff Nanos said: "We hope we are." A retired FBI agent was blunter: the blood evidence "let the air out of my tires."#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TodayShow #Tucson #Kidnapping #MissingPerson #CatalinaFoothills #FBI #TrueCrimeToday #BreakingNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie is eighty-four years old, and she didn't just go missing. She disappeared from inside her own home—where investigators found blood at the entry and inside the residence. From the first hours, law enforcement processed the scene as a crime. Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed this is being investigated as a kidnapping.According to law enforcement sources, Nancy's pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday. The device lost its Bluetooth connection when Nancy was physically moved out of range. The watch was left behind. Multiple cameras at the property were smashed. The back door was left wide open. Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell analyzed footage showing blood at the front door and said the round droplets suggest Nancy may have been carried out.Roughly thirty hours after the initial response, the scene was released. Tape came down. Activity slowed. Then—without public explanation—everything reversed. Crime scene tape went back up. Multiple agencies surged back in. Canine units arrived. Officers focused heavily on the garage. That pattern tells a story. Scenes don't get reopened without cause. Something changed.The investigation has turned toward family members as standard procedure. A vehicle belonging to Nancy's daughter Annie was towed and impounded. FBI agents spent two hours at Annie's home. Reports have emerged of ransom-style messages referencing cryptocurrency and claiming knowledge of crime scene details. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released an emotional plea—specifically requesting proof of life. That language signals concern about the credibility of communications the family may have received.Nancy cannot walk fifty yards unassisted. She requires daily medication that could be fatal if missed. She is past the seventy-two-hour mark. When asked if they believe Nancy is alive, Sheriff Nanos said: "We hope we are." Retired FBI agents were more blunt. One said the blood evidence "let the air out of my tires."#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TodayShow #Tucson #CatalinaFoothills #Kidnapping #MissingPerson #FBI #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four days into the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, the investigation has reportedly turned toward those closest to her.According to a law enforcement source speaking to journalist Ashley Banfield, a vehicle belonging to Annie Guthrie — Nancy's daughter, Savannah's sister, and the last person to see Nancy alive — has been towed, impounded, and placed into evidence. FBI agents reportedly spent approximately two hours at Annie's home on Tuesday.Banfield was careful to frame this development. She emphasized that investigators always look at family first. It's standard procedure. She referenced Ed Smart, who was treated as a suspect for weeks after his daughter Elizabeth was kidnapped — and it turned out to be a stranger. Banfield called her source's theories "musings, not evidence."But the car being impounded is not routine.The crime scene evidence is troubling. Multiple cameras at the property were reportedly smashed. The back door was left wide open. Blood was found inside the home according to sources, though Sheriff Chris Nanos has declined to confirm. Brian Entin of NewsNation found blood visible at the front stoop. Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell said the droplet pattern suggests Nancy may have been carried out.Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch around 2 a.m. Sunday, according to law enforcement sources. That's when investigators believe she was taken. She cannot walk 50 yards unassisted. She requires medication that could be fatal if missed. She is now past 72 hours.When Entin asked retired FBI agents if they think Nancy is still alive, one said the blood evidence "let the air out of my tires." Another said, "Not likely." Sheriff Nanos, asked the same question: "We hope we are."Someone knew this house.

The crime scene at Nancy Guthrie's Arizona home tells a story investigators are still trying to piece together. Blood at the front door. The back door left wide open. Multiple cameras smashed. And an 84-year-old woman who can't walk 50 yards on her own, gone without a trace.Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing Sunday after she failed to show up for church. According to a law enforcement source speaking to journalist Ashley Banfield, the back door of her Catalina Foothills home was found wide open. When Banfield asked Sheriff Chris Nanos if Nancy was carried out the front door, he said, "I did not say the front door."Brian Entin of NewsNation walked up to the home Tuesday after it was released from crime scene status. He found blood still visible at the front door stoop — some red, some brown. The blood trail stops there. It doesn't continue to the driveway. Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell analyzed the footage and noted the droplets are round, falling from directly above. No bloody footprints. Her conclusion: Nancy may have been carried out and placed into a waiting vehicle.Banfield's source says multiple cameras were smashed by whoever did this. The source's assessment: "This is someone who knew where the cameras were. Somebody who was familiar with this home, this premises, this woman."The investigation has turned toward family as part of standard procedure. A vehicle belonging to Nancy's daughter Annie has reportedly been impounded. FBI agents visited Annie's home for two hours Tuesday. Banfield stressed this is routine and called her source's speculation "musings, not evidence."Nancy requires medication that could be fatal if missed. When asked if they believe she's still alive, Sheriff Nanos said: "We hope we are."#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TucsonArizona #CatalinaFoothills #Kidnapping #CrimeScene #TrueCrime #MissingPerson #FBI #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the disturbing case of Donna Adelson, a domineering and deeply enmeshed mother whose obsessive need for control allegedly culminated in the murder-for-hire of her former son-in-law, Florida State University law professor Dan Markel. What began as a bitter custody dispute following Markel's divorce from Adelson's daughter, Wendi, escalated into a years-long campaign of manipulation, psychological warfare, and resentment fueled by Donna's refusal to accept court-imposed boundaries. Candice explores how enmeshment, entitlement, and an intolerance for loss of control can distort family dynamics; and how a grandmother's fixation on access and dominance ultimately led prosecutors to accuse her of orchestrating a deadly conspiracy that shattered an entire family.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the chilling case of Arthur Gary Bishop, a devout Mormon and trusted member of his Utah community whose outward normalcy concealed a violent predator. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Bishop abducted and murdered at least five young boys in Salt Lake City, Utah. Known to those around him as quiet and unassuming, Bishop secretly harbored obsessive sexual fantasies and a deep need for control – and as his feelings intensified, those fantasies turned lethal. Candice explores how years of hidden obsession and unchecked compulsion ultimately erupted into a pattern of calculated, predatory violence, and how a killer hiding in plain sight was finally exposed.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the tragic and highly publicized case of John Thomas Sweeney, whose obsessive control and escalating violence led to the murder of actress Dominique Dunne in 1982. After a volatile and abusive relationship, Sweeney strangled Dunne outside her Los Angeles home, a crime that exposed devastating gaps in how the justice system addressed domestic violence and intimate partner abuse at the time. Candice unpacks the psychological warning signs, coercive dynamics, and entitlement-driven rage that defined Sweeney's behavior, and why Dominique Dunne's death became a turning point in the national conversation about accountability, stalking, and victim protection.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong unpacks the disturbing case of Karla Faye Tucker, a woman whose early life of addiction, sexual exploitation, and chaos culminated in a brutally sadistic double murder. High on drugs and fueled by rage, Karla and her boyfriend Danny Garrett broke into an apartment in Houston, Texas, where Karla murdered Jerry Dean with a pickax, later admitting the killing gave her sexual pleasure, before a second victim, Deborah Thornton, was also slain. But the story did not end with conviction and a death sentence. While on death row, Karla claimed to have undergone a profound religious transformation, igniting a national debate over redemption, punishment and whether genuine change is possible after unimaginable violence. Candice examines the psychological fractures, paraphilic pathology and identity disturbances that shaped Karla's life, and why her case remains one of the most polarizing capital punishment stories in American history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
