Retired FBI agent Geoffrey Kelly, the longtime case agent on the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist—the largest art theft in history—joins the show.

We examine the concept of targeted violence (e.g., mass attacks, school shootings, lone-actor attacks, assassinations) and how it differs from spontaneous or impulsive acts of violence. We discuss the warning signs, motivations, and pathways that may precede these crimes. The focus is on understanding behavior with the goal of improving prevention, threat assessment, and investigative insight.

In Part 2 of our analysis of The Murders of Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield in South Paris, Maine, we turn to Paul Dwyer’s final confession in which he directly implicated Deputy Sheriff Francis Carroll in the murders.

24 December 2025, 5:30 am - 50 minutes 43 seconds115. The Murders of Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield – Part 1
In part 1 of our analysis of The Murders of Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield, we examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Dr. James Littlefield and his wife, Lydia, in 1937. Their bodies were discovered in their car in North Arlington, New Jersey, far from their home in South Paris, Maine, with 18-year-old Paul Dwyer at the wheel. The discovery launched an investigation that raised questions which persist to this day. Subsequent proceedings introduced competing explanations for the murders. One theory holds that Dwyer acted alone. Another contends that Deputy Sheriff Francis Carroll was the primary offender, with Dwyer forced to assist in covering up the crime. We try to answer what most likely happened. Part 1 of 2.
