Laura continues her interview with Sarah Ferris moving beyond the initial deception to unpack the deeper patterns, behaviours, and mindset of a conman - and what we must learn from it.

Laura and Sarah profile Peter Cowell, who posed as an Admiral, extracting money from senior leaders, veterans and even targeting former police detectives for an organisation he called IntSAR – the International Sea Air Rescue Service, a global humanitarian project with a military-style structure.  It turns out, it is a work of fiction.

Drawing on both lived experience and behavioural analysis, Laura and Sarah explore how perpetrators create influence, maintain control, and continue offending - often across multiple victims - while appearing credible and trustworthy to others.

Key Takeaways:
• The Pattern Behind the Persona: Why conmen rely on consistency, charm, and credibility - and how this masks repeat offending
• Grooming & Influence: How trust is built quickly and used to establish control and dependency
• Serial Behaviour: Why there is almost always a history -and often multiple victims
• Missed Warning Signs: How red flags are explained away, minimised, or only recognised in hindsight
• Turning the Tables: The power of awareness, collective action, and refusing to stay silent
• Prevention & Protection: Why recognising patterns early is key to reducing harm and protecting others

This conversation goes beyond the individual case - it is about understanding the psychology of deception and the patterns of behaviour that enable it.

🎧 Listen, learn, and share - you could change your life.

In this remastered episode, Laura continues to break down Gabby and Brian’s behaviour using the police body worn camera footage from the Moab City Police Department.

Laura focuses on evidence that Brian is thinking about himself, whilst an emotional Gabby  self-abandons and prioritizes Brian’s needs over her own, as well as how sexism, a gender bias and misogyny played a role in green lighting and reinforcing Brian’s coercively controlling behaviour. 

Laura shares important indicators of coercive control and new information about Brian’s financial situation which catches him in multiple lies to law enforcement.

This is not easy listening – but it’s important. It might just save a future life.

You can follow Laura and her work on: Instagram @crimeanalyst TikTok @crimeanalystpod Twitter @thecrimeanalyst

*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.

We all like to think we would know a conman when we see one – that’s what savvy Sarah Ferris thought when her sister Emma introduced her to the man she met on Tinder. His name was Andrew Tonks – only it wasn’t. His real name was Andrew W C Tonks Thomson. After six months of dating him he conned her out of more than $250,000.

Together with her sister, Sarah, and a brilliant group of women – they didn't let him get away it and turned the tables on him. They made a podcast about it as it happened in real time called Conning the Con. And Tonks/Tomson is still making headlines, having been charged with offences relating to six more victims and a new trial in the Supreme Court. You won’t want to miss this.

Listen and learn about:
• Grooming, manipulation, and the psychology of influence;
• Why intelligent, capable people can be targeted and entrapped;
• The importance of recognising patterns - not isolated incidents;
• Trusting your instincts and understanding risk;
• Prevention, awareness, and protecting yourself and others;

🎧 Listen, learn, and share - you could change your life.

Laura continues her in-depth analysis of the landmark case Police v Callum Fairleigh with survivor Sam Bouffler, moving beyond the initial conviction to further unpack the patterns, behaviours, and responses that shaped this significant outcome.

Key Analytical Takeaways:

• Serial Perpetration: there’s always a history and multiple victims.
• The Impact on Victims: Understanding the psychological and emotional toll of sustained coercive control and why victims may not be able to leave safely.
• Prevention and Protection: A national register of abusers is needed to ensure men’s histories of controlling and abusive behaviour are joined up

·       1800RESPECT: Call 1800 737 732 for 24/7 support and counseling.

Laura has taken the decision to interrupt the Gabby Petito series to share her preliminary analyses and deconstruction of the confession letter written by Brian Laundrie, which was published on Friday 24th June.

The publication of Brian Laundrie’s notebook and so-called confession is huge. The timing of it being published and the contents are fascinating. The notebook was found in Brian’s drybag by his father, Christopher Laundrie, on October 20 2021. It was released to the media by Steve Bertolino on behalf of the Laundries on Friday, following a meeting with the FBI at the Tampa Field Office.

You won’t want to miss this. Listener discretion is advised. It is not an easy listen but it is an important episode.

In a landmark moment for justice in Australia, New South Wales has seen its first full-time prison sentence handed down for the crime of coercive control. In this episode, Laura deconstructs the case of Police v Callum Fairleigh, analyzing the behavioral patterns that led to this historic conviction and what it means for the future of victim protection.

Laura moves beyond the headlines to center the experience of Samantha, the survivor who bravely shared her story to ensure others feel less alone. Laura provides a trauma-informed analysis of the "drip-drip" nature of this abuse—from digital abuse and stalking to the calculated erosion of autonomy—and explains why this case is a vital test of the new laws implemented in July 2024.

Key Analytical Takeaways:

·       The Blueprint of Control: Deconstructing Fairleigh’s patterns, including "bombarding" communication, isolation from family, and the use of digital footprints as tools of entrapment.

·       The "Validation" of Sentencing: Why a prison sentence—the first under the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Coercive Control) Act 2022—is a critical societal acknowledgment that non-physical abuse is a serious crime.

·       Trauma-Informed Interviewing: asking the right questions and identifying the pattern of coercive control.

·       The Risk Factor: Analyzing how these behaviors are a known "red flag" for intimate partner terrorism and homicide and why early intervention saves lives.

Episode Resources & Support:If you or someone you know is experiencing coercive control, help is available:

·       1800RESPECT: Call 1800 737 732 for 24/7 support and counseling.

·       NSW Domestic Violence Line: 1800 656 463.

In this episode Laura continues her analysis of one more post on Gabby’s Instagram account, a second post that was published on August 12, as well as analysis of Gabby’s TikiTok account, further highlighting inconsistencies and red flags.

Laura shares her expert analysis of the body worn camera footage from the Moab City Police Department. Officer Daniel Robbins was the responding officer who pulled over Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie in their van in Utah on August 12 2021 following two calls from members of the public.

One caller told despatchers: “A gentleman was slapping the girl. They ran up and down the sidewalk. He proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car, and they drove off.”

In part 2 David speaks candidly about his experience, excavating the patterns he now recognises, the behaviours that were normalised at the time, and the lasting effect of living with a coercively controlling father. Together, Laura and David examine the subtle and often missed warning signs, the insidious nature of coercive control, why recognising these patterns in law is critical to prevention, protection and saving lives and how men can be part of the solution in changing this behaviour.

David also recently joined Laura for a Crime Analyst Squad exclusive live event. David dives deeper into his experiences, sharing a photo which depicts what life was like living with his father, and more information about his mother’s murder trial.
