In this remastered episode,  Laura continues to deconstruct Officer Pratt’s footage of the police stop of Gabby’s van with startling revelations including how Laura believes that the Utah law was not only misunderstood but was also misapplied – and it’s probably not what you think. You might believe you have heard everything there is to say, but you really haven’t. 

Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be upsetting and/or triggering and it will be angry making.

Three teenage boys were convicted of 17 sexual offences including 11 rapes of two separate girls, one at knifepoint. Despite this, Judge Nicholas Rowland determined that none of the boys should go to prison as he did not want to ‘criminalize them unnecessarily.’ 

To understand this egregious decision that has quite rightly sparked national outrage, Laura shares her forensic deconstruction of Judge Rowland’s 23-page sentencing remarks in the context of the sentencing guideline and the increasing levels of male violence to girls and women. It’s worse than you might have thought. 

This is not just about one case. Laura raises urgent questions about who the criminal justice system is protecting drawing on her experience as former Head of the Homicide Prevention Unit and Head of the Sexual Offences Section at New Scotland Yard. 

In this episode, Laura examines: 

• Judge Nicholas Rowland's sentencing remarks and his rationale behind them in reference to the sentencing guidelines; 
• The lack of specific sentencing guidance relating to rape and indecent image offences committed by children; 
• How the boys grooming and planning behaviours were overlooked; 
• The role of coercion, intimidation, and power imbalance; 
• The removal of consent and the realities of victim compliance; 
• Planning, premeditation, and offender decision-making; 
• Victim blaming and the language used throughout the proceedings; 
• The representation of victims, offenders, and risk within the courtroom; 
• Psychopathy, callousness, and concerning behavioural indicators; 
• Why pattern recognition and behavioural analysis matter in assessing future risk; 
• The broader implications for public safety, accountability, and prevention. 

If you have not already listened, Laura previously analysed the broader Hampshire serial gang rape case, the offenders' histories, the warning signs, escalating behaviours, and the systemic failures that allowed dangerous patterns to go unchecked. Listen here:

Two separate girls were raped by three boys, one at knifepoint, in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in November 2024 and January 2025.  The three teenagers filmed the rapes and posted them on-line, blatantly laughing. The case went to trial, and they were found guilty of 11 counts of rape out of 17 sexual offences.  However, Judge Nicholas Rowland stated, ‘None of you need go to prison today’ and that he didn’t want to crimiminalize them UNNECCESSARILY. This case has rightly caused national and international outrage and Laura is calling for the Judge to be investigated and for a judicial accountability framework. Anger is not enough – you can help and act now.

For a decade Laura worked at New Scotland Yard analysing violent crime, identifying patterns, linking offences, and helping catch serial rapists and serial killers. One lesson was clear: nobody starts with rape or murder. There are escalating patterns of behaviour prior and opportunities to stop them.

In this urgent episode, Laura examines the Hampshire serial gang rape case and the boys histories which show at least one is on a pathway to murder. Laura analyses the case through the lens of behavioural analysis, risk assessment, offender pattern recognition, and public safety.

Drawing on her experience as former Head of the Homicide Prevention Unit and Head of the Sexual Offences Section at New Scotland Yard, Laura explains why this case is not an anomaly, why accountability matters, and why the system's repeated failure to identify and intervene with dangerous offenders puts women and girls at risk.

Laura highlights:

• escalating dangerous patterns of behaviour;
• why pattern recognition and near misses identification matters to prevent serious violence and homicides;
• How systems and people in them repeatedly fail to join the dots;
• The dangerous consequences of minimising male violence against women and girls;
• Why accountability matters for victims, survivors, and public safety;
• The parallels with other high-profile cases, including Levi Bellfield, John Worboys, and Ian Huntley;
• The role misogyny in decision-making and outcomes, and;

Laura also discusses the petition calling for Judge Nicholas Rowland to be investigated and for the introduction of an independent Judicial Accountability Framework.

In this remastered episode, Laura discusses a significant update in Gabby Petito’s case. On Monday 8th August 2022, almost a year to the date of the Moab City Police stop of Gabby’s white van, Gabby’s mother, Nichole and step-father Jim Schmidt and Gabby’s father, Joe and step-mother Tara Petito filed a notice of intent to sue Moab City Police in Utah.

The lawsuit went ahead accusing the Police of “negligent failure” to first understand the law and enforce it. They also accuse Moab City Police of “wrongful death” stating that Gabby’s “death was caused by their wrongful acts or neglect.” They are seeking $50m in damages.

The lawsuit was dismissed by Judge Torgerson in 2024. However, it’s not over. The case has been referred to the Utah Supreme Court. For the latest update in the case listen to this episode.

When Tonia Bales married John Meehan, she had no idea that the charming man she fell in love with would later become known to millions as "Dirty John." Psychopaths don’t stand out - in fact they do everything to blend in - but there are some tell-tale signs you need to know. 

Together, Laura and Tonia decode and share the signs whilst discussing Tonia’s new book, When You See It: How I Outsmarted and Outlasted Dirty John, and the untold story of what it was really like being married to one of America's most notorious coercive controllers and psychopaths.

Listen and learn:

·       Who "Dirty John" really was and how charm, deception, and manipulation were used to gain trust;

·       The long-term effects of living with a psychopath and having children with one;

·       The impact of coercive control and deception on intimate partners and children

·        What Tonia and her family discovered as John's hidden life began to unravel;

·       Why understanding behavioural patterns is critical to prevention and protection

·       Golden rules from surviving and outlasting Dirty John, and;

·       How sharing lived experience can help others recognise danger sooner.

Laura goes beyond the headlines, identifying the offender behaviours, patterns, manipulations and high-risk factors that everyone should understand.

🎧 Listen, learn, and share. You could help someone recognise coercive control and manipulation before it escalates.

In this remastered episode, Laura discusses the other police body worn cameras and highlights new key information available from Officer Pratt’s footage, which was released on Friday 1st October.

It took Moab City Police Department more than 14 days to release the second video. Laura shares why she believes it took them so long, highlighting three concerning and significant events that happened across that time in Moab City Police Department.

This is uncomfortable information to hear - but it’s important if we are to truly learn from Gabby’s brutal murder in slow motion. You won’t want to miss this.

*This remastered series is to honour Gabby and ensure the warning signs of coercive control are understood. It’s the difference between life and death for so many.

Determined to decode the patterns of coercive control and escalating risk, Laura deconstructs the behaviours that were visible - but too often minimised or misunderstood - with forensic precision.

Join Laura for this remastered investigative series which provides news updates in the case regarding the Utah Supreme Court oral argument in the wrongful death lawsuit appeal, deeper analysis and vital learning to help prevent future harm.
