This week’s questions include, the heartbreaking case of 10-year-old Tanishka Sharma in Noida, India. Lisa’s reaction to the beheading case making headlines.

Chad Daybell says he’s “pausing” his Letters from Chad series so his appeals can move forward. In Letter #10, Chad Daybell blames the media, the prosecution, his own lawyer, and the justice system—but never himself. Let’s tear this letter apart line by line, showing how it’s really about damage control for Chad Daybell, narrative manipulation, and a failed marketing campaign from death row. We’ll talk about his unmentioned fourth near-death experience, his refusal to explain how he justified an affair with Lori Vallow while Tammy Daybell was alive, and how premortal-life fantasies helped him bend moral laws and, ultimately, justify murder. Through it all, we keep the focus where it belongs: on JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, Tammy Daybell, Charles Vallow, and the surviving family members like Brandon Boudreaux and Colby Ryan, who are still living with the consequences of Chad Daybell's and Lori’s choices.

A Utah father, Micah Smith, took his three young children on what prosecutors now call a “not well planned,” “ill-prepared,” and “extremely dangerous” hike into Big Cottonwood Canyon. Hours later, two children are unconscious from hypothermia, one appears dead when rescuers arrive, and the story Micah Smith tells doesn’t match what investigators later uncover. According to the indictment, Micah Smith pushed toward the top of Broads Fork despite rain, fog, wind, and kids who repeatedly begged to go home, and he taught his 8-year-old daughter CPR because he knew help was too far away. Let’s examine the route, the behavior, the marital strains, the mental-health indicators, the previous suicide-related police encounter, and the troubling allegations prosecutors are laying out against Micah Smith.

In this episode, we’re looking into what almost became public in the Idaho student murders case before Bryan Kohberger abruptly pleaded guilty. Prosecutors were preparing to call Bryan Kohberger's sister and parents to the stand in a move that would’ve opened the door to a deeper history of troubling behavior, family dynamics, and long-ignored warning signs. What was Kohberger so desperate to keep hidden? Then, we’ll dig into your questions on everything from the latest developments in the Doomsday Daybell investigation to new angles in the missing Melodee Buzzard case. If you’re interested in understanding offenders through their behavior, you’re in the right place.

Profiling Evil breaks down the opening statements in the Brian Walshe murder trial, a case as bizarre as it is heartbreaking. Prosecutors say Brian Walshe murdered his wife Ana on New Year’s Day, dismembered her, and dumped her remains in trash transfer stations. The defense says Ana simply died in her sleep and that Brian Walshe panicked, dismembered her, and lied for three years because he “wanted to remain his children’s caretaker.” Let’s examine digital evidence, marital stressors, financial pressures, Walshe’s three-year deception, his last-minute confession, and the strange introduction of “Sudden Unexplained Death.” Then we’ll explore why the prosecution believes their case is airtight… and why the defense thinks they can unravel it.

In this Profiling Evil Bonus Episode, I’m coming to you from Las Vegas, where I’ve been speaking at a conference on reducing risk and improving personal safety. And let me tell you… after digging into this case, I couldn’t help but think some of the behavioral training we talked about at that conference might’ve come in handy for the man at the center of this story—a man who ended up married to a former porn star turned convicted executioner.

It's the story of Devyn Michaels and her love-triangle beheading case—a twisted mix of a former adult film star, a custody battle turned toxic, a secret marriage to her ex’s son, and a murder so brutal that investigators found the victim headless and drenched in chemicals. Michaels is now convicted of committing the brutal homicide, something prosecutors allege she did with a kitchen meat cleaver! Let’s review the relationship, the murder and the timeline. The victim’s head has never been found but a jury found her guilty of homicide.

In most families, the holidays are driven by loving, caring mothers who can’t wait to get everybody under the same roof. But what happens when the “mom” at the center of the story is accused — or convicted — of destroying her own family? In this Profiling Evil episode, we look at how high-profile women like Ruby Franke, Jodi Hildebrandt, Kouri Richins, and Lori Vallow Daybell will likely spend their holidays behind bars. Richins’ charges are still allegations. What are the holidays actually like in prisons and jails. We’ll even chat about the difference from conditions in historic Utah jails from the 1800s and how they compared the modern world of inmate tablets, education programs, and even conjugal-visits. Is spending Christmas in prison the worst thing that can happen to you…

or is it living with the knowledge that you murdered or brutalized your own children?

Profiling Evil breaks down the disturbing and rapidly developing Unequivocal death case of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found wrapped in plastic, hidden inside singer D4vd’s abandoned Tesla in Los Angeles. New reports reveal a second suspect has been tied to the case. Let’s examine the timeline, the digital breadcrumbs, Tesla tracking, victimology, suspectology, concealment behaviors, dismemberment analysis, and why investigators believe more than one person was involved.

In this episode, we dig into the perplexing case of 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard and her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, a case that stalled and left far more questions than answers. We break down the recent court hearing in which a false-imprisonment charge against Ashlee was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, and we examine whether law enforcement and the prosecution moved too quickly, potentially botching the investigation, or whether the true motive behind the charge was pressure on Ashlee to talk about Melodee’s whereabouts. Then we walk through three plausible scenarios for where Melodee might be, including one involving protective concealment, one involving dangerous criminal activity, and one involving a planned disappearance. We recap what we do know: media reports of child welfare investigations, homeschooling status, a road trip in a rental vehicle returned without damage, plate-swaps and disguises, Ashlee’s lack of cooperation, and the looming question: will the state invoke a statute like Idaho officials did in the Lori Daybell case to detain Ashlee until Melodee is found?

In this week’s Feedback Friday, I’m filming just east of Las Vegas—on a lonely stretch of desert highway known for mob history, hidden graves, and more than a few stories about barrels resting quietly on the lake bottom. Perfect place to unpack delusion, manipulation, and your questions about Chad Daybell. We’re going to walk through your top comments, the biggest legal questions about why Chad Daybell is even allowed to write these letters, whether Chad Daybell could ever profit from them, why he avoids mentioning Lori, and how his behavior compares to other death row offenders. We also take a detour into Australia for an update on the Mr. Cruel investigation and talk offender psychology, narrative control, grooming, avoidance patterns, and what delusional self-mythologizing looks like behind bars.

This week on True Crime Tuesday, we’re looking at three cases dominating national headlines — each different in the details, but united by one theme: human behavior under stress and the tragic consequences that follow. First, we examine the death of Michael Duarte, the popular food influencer known as FoodWithBearHands, who was shot and killed by a Medina County Sheriff’s deputy in Texas. Then we’ll move to Las Vegas, Nevada where an 11-year-old boy was shot and killed during a road-rage dispute. It’s a heartbreaking reminder that everyday irritation can escalate into deadly violence when ego, stress, and weapons mix. And finally, we’ll revisit one of the darkest cold cases in America which happened over the US Thanksgiving holiday in 2010. The disappearance, now murder of three little boys now memorialized as the Skelton Brothers. After fifteen long years, their father has been charged with their murders. This episode is a reminder of how fragile safety can be, how quickly behavior can escalate, and how important it is to understand the warning signs long before tragedy unfolds.
