Crime Analyst

In this remastered Crime Analyst series, Laura Richards puts the women back at the centre of the story. For decades, the women murdered and attacked by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS in this series) were overshadowed by the man who targeted them.   Laura continues to analyse the A1 linked offences, the brutal attacks on Yvonne Pearson, Helen Rytka, Anna Rogulskyj and Vera Millward by Peter Sutcliffe. Laura analyses Joan Harrison’s rape and murder, the letters received by Assistant Chief Constable George Oldfield as well discussing a major breakthrough in the investigation. You won’t want to miss this. See Crime Analyst’s Instagram, Facebook or the Crime Analyst Squad for graphics detailing what she found.  Laura’s specialist unit at New Scotland Yard was later created due to the catastrophic failures in the case. It remains one of the most misunderstood serial murder cases of our time - and why Crime Analyst refuses to use the moniker that made him famous while the women became the forgotten victims.  Join Laura in the intelligence cell as she re-examines the case through an expert behavioural analysis lens, centering the victims whilst focusing on risk and prevention.   Listener discretion advised.

For decades, the women murdered and attacked by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS in this series) were overshadowed by the man who targeted them.   Laura shares other attacks on women she believes are linked to PS including Marilyn Moore who survived and gave a photofit in 1977, 14-year-old Tracy Browne who saw the photofit and re-reported the man who almost killed her and Olive Smelt’s near lethal attack 12 days before Tracy was attacked.

Mica Francis died trying to leave John Paul Miller. She documented what was happening to her, called the Police at least 14 times, retained an attorney and filed for divorce. Less than a day after Mica’s death, John-Paul Miller stood before his congregation and announced her death, while simultaneously shaping a narrative about Mica and her mental health. Serious alarm bells went off for both Laura and award-winning investigative journalist and NewsNation correspondent, Rich McHugh.  Former NBC investigative producer Rich McHugh, working with Ronan Farrow, exposed Harvey Weinstein at great personal and professional cost. You will hear more about that in this episode as well as how Rich quickly gained the trust of Mica’s family and ultimately secured an extraordinary sit-down interview with John-Paul Miller in July 2024.  In this episode you will learn:   How Rich’s previous investigations into Harvey Weinstein and Hillsong influenced his response when Mica’s story first emerged  Why victim-centred reporting matters and how Rich approached Mica’s family  The starkly different narratives Rich heard from Mica’s family and John-Paul Miller  How Rich secured the interview with Miller after months of communication  What Miller sent Rich privately before the interview  Why Rich decided to let Miller talk rather than begin with confrontational questions  What Rich noticed about Miller before he had even asked his first question  Why Miller may have wanted to speak publicly and control the narrative  Laura’s behavioural analysis of key moments during the interview  What happened when Rich asked Miller whether he felt partly responsible  The anger Rich believed he detected beneath Miller’s response  Miller’s claims about Mica’s mental health and why it matters who controls the narrative when a victim can no longer speak for herself  Mica’s efforts to separate, seek help and regain control of her life  The failures and gaps in protection surrounding coercive control, stalking and post-separation abuse  Why, despite doing so much to try to protect herself, Mica was still left without the safety she was seeking  This is Part 1 of Laura’s interview with Rich McHugh. The conversation continues in Part 2.  TAKE ACTION: Mica’s Law -Coercive Control and Stalking Laws in South Carolina   You can contact South Carolina lawmakers and ask them to support stronger legal recognition and protection for victims experiencing coercive control, stalking and post-separation abuse.   Full action links, letter template and resources are available in the Crime Analyst Squad.   Watch The Death of the Pastor’s Wife   More from Investigative Correspondent Rich McHugh  Twitter: richmchugh  Insta: richmchughnews  Tiktok @richmchugh     Crime Analyst Coverage  Crime Analyst: Mica Francis Series  Mica Francis: Breaking Down the Federal Charges Against JP Miller with Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell  Huge News in Mica Francis’ Case.

Mica Francis did everything right: she documented what was happening, reported to police and repeatedly asked for help. But what happens when the behaviours creating fear, entrapment and risk are not adequately recognised by the law?  In Laura’s interview with Mica’s attorney, Regina Ward, the focus turns to the systemic failures that left Mica without the protection she needed - and the fight to change law in South Carolina in Mica’s name.  Laura and Regina examine why repeated attempts to introduce coercive control legislation in South Carolina have failed, the gaps that remain for victims experiencing patterns of stalking and coercive control, and next steps.  Laura and Regina discuss:  Why Mica’s repeated reports and documentation matter  The fight to introduce effective coercive control legislation in South Carolina  Why understanding individual incidents without recognising the pattern leaves victims unprotected  Mica’s List and what it reveals about the cumulative impact of coercive control  The importance of preserving evidence when an abuser attempts to destroy or control it  How religion, submission, sexual entitlement and stalking are weaponised as tools of control  What listeners can do to support Mica’s Law and help create change  TAKE ACTION: Mica’s Law -Coercive Control and Stalking Laws in South Carolina  You can contact South Carolina lawmakers and ask them to support stronger legal recognition and protection for victims experiencing coercive control, stalking and post-separation abuse.  Full action links, letter template and resources are available in the Crime Analyst Squad.  Watch The Death of the Pastor’s Wife  More from Attorney Regina Ward  Website YouTube  TikTok    Crime Analyst Coverage Crime Analyst: Mica Francis Series Mica Francis: Breaking Down the Federal Charges Against JP Miller with Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell Huge News in Mica Francis’ Case.

Mica Francis’ case is now receiving widespread attention following the Netflix documentary The Death of the Pastor’s Wife. Laura analysed Mica’s case as it unfolded, documenting the pattern of coercive control, stalking and post-separation abuse Mica reported experiencing before her death.  30-year-old Mica Francis (Miller) was found dead from a gunshot wound at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County, North Carolina, on April 27, 2024, two days after serving her husband, John Paul Miller, with divorce papers.  John Paul Miller has since been federally indicted on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators.  In this remastered episode, Laura is joined by award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney and award-winning author Liz Farrell, co-hosts of True Sunlight, to analyse the federal indictment and break down the charges, timelines and alleged behaviours detailed within it.  Together, they examine the alleged pattern of behaviour through the lens of coercive control and stalking, including how cyberstalking can be used as a tactic of control and why the post-separation period can be particularly dangerous. They also discuss an important question: why was Mica not better protected while she was alive?  Understanding escalation and coercive control is lifesaving and life changing. Listen and share, you may save a life.

Mica Francis was taking steps to reclaim her life and freedom. Then, on April 27 2024, she was found dead at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. Since Mica’s death, Laura has extensively analysed the pattern of coercive control, stalking and post-separation abuse Mica reported experiencing, as well as the circumstances leading up to her death.  Mica’s story is the focus of the Netflix documentary The Death of The Pastor’s Wife. Attorney Regina Ward was Mica’s divorce lawyer, and she appears in the documentary. John Paul Miller called her repeatedly following Mica’s death. Regina shares unique insight into John-Paul’s behaviour around the time of Mica’s death, the manipulation Mica was navigating and some of what did not make it into the Netflix documentary.  Together, Laura and Regina unpack what was happening behind the scenes as Mica took steps to divorce from John-Paul Miller, the strategies used to manage his behaviour, Mica’s mindset during those final months and what Regina witnessed as Mica worked to regain control of her life.  Learn how women are further entrapped in South Carolina owing to archaic and dangerous patriarchal legal processes that intentionally prevent women from leaving men who abuse them, leaving them at high risk of suicide and femicide. It’s by design and they are not even trying to change it.  Laura and Regina share unique insights about:  Mica’s mindset leading up to her death  John-Paul Miller’s behaviour around the time of Mica’s death   How best to manage a coercive controller   Post-separation abuse, sexual coercion, coercive control, stalking and economic abuse   Archaic laws in South Carolina leading to it being one of the top 10 dangerous states in the US for women  Problematic restraining orders and ‘orders of protection’ in South Carolina   Mica’s List and the behaviours Mica documented   Details and context that did not make it into The Death of the Pastor’s Wife   Why coercive control must be understood as a pattern of behaviour.  Coercive control correlates significantly with femicide, homicide and suicide.

As the violence escalated, Grace finally called 911. She describes the police officer who recognised something Grace could not yet fully see herself. She reveals why and how he identified how dangerous the abuser was.  Grace describes the successful strategy she used to leave. Laura examines why victims may continue to protect, defend or return to the abuser - and why these behaviours need to be understood within the wider pattern of coercive control by EVERYONE.  Grace shares how her ex-partner pressured her to become pregnant and how his sense of entitlement extended to her reproductive choices. Laura unpacks reproductive coercion and how perpetrators can use pregnancy and children to increase dependency, entrapment and control.  Laura and Grace explore how an abuser can use a program and those running them as another means of manipulation and re-grooming.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Successful strategies for leaving  Reproductive coercion and entrapment   Trauma bonding and re-grooming   Escalation and high-risk behaviours   The weaponisation of therapeutic and recovery language   Why victims may protect or defend the abuser   The importance of informed police responses   Why leaving is a process, not an event   Accountability versus apologies   Grace's journey from survivor to advocate   Coercive control correlates significantly with femicide, familicide, homicide, and suicide.  Never tell the abuser you are leaving.  #GraceStewart #WhySheStayed #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #SurvivorVoices #SurvivorStories #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #PsychologicalAbuse #SexualCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #PowerAndControl #AbuseIsAPattern #TrustYourInstincts #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast   More from Grace Stuart Why She Stayed Podcast on Spotify   Why She Stayed Podcast on  Apple   Instagram    Clip  https://fb.watch/JqIfBK4k3q/?mibextid=wwXIfr  Support Crime Analyst   If you value these conversations, please follow, rate, and review Crime Analyst wherever you listen to podcasts.

Why doesn't she just leave?  It's a question survivors of domestic abuse hear again and again. But it places the focus in entirely the wrong place.  Laura interviews Grace Stuart, survivor and host of Why She Stayed podcast, to examine how coercive control can develop gradually - and why it can be so difficult to recognise when you're living inside it.  Grace was just 20 when she met her former partner, who was 14 years older. What initially felt intense and intoxicating became a complex spider's web of grooming, manipulation and control.  Grace shares how apparent honesty and vulnerability built trust, while her boundaries were crossed incrementally and each violation explained away. Laura unpacks the pattern: the love bombing, age and power imbalance, gaslighting, isolation, sexual coercion and the gradual erosion of Grace's trust in her own instincts.  They also explore how addiction became an explanation for behaviour that Grace did not yet have the language to identify as domestic abuse.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Grooming, love bombing and accelerated intimacy   Age and power imbalances   Boundary testing and incremental erosion   Gaslighting and self-doubt   Isolation and dependency   Sexual coercion and violence   Addiction versus abusive behaviour   Why recognising the pattern matters   The question isn't why did she stay? It's what did he do that made staying make sense?  #GraceStewart #WhySheStayed #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #SurvivorVoices #SurvivorStories #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #PsychologicalAbuse #SexualCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #PowerAndControl #AbuseIsAPattern #TrustYourInstincts #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast     More from Grace Stuart Why She Stayed Podcast on Spotify   Why She Stayed Podcast on  Apple   Instagram    Clip   https://fb.watch/Jgz69E5Y1u/  Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsor Who Make the Show Possible.

You can earn your own money, pay the bills and have access to the joint account - and still be economically abused.  Economic abuse is about far more than stopping someone from accessing money. It can involve restriction, exploitation and sabotage - and it can be so deeply woven into coercive control that victims may not recognise what is happening to them.  Laura is joined by Dr Nicola Sharp-Jeffs OBE, CF internationally recognised expert on economic abuse, author and founder of Surviving Economic Abuse, for a deeper examination of how perpetrators weaponise money and economic resources to establish and maintain power and control.  Nicola shares findings from her pioneering research, which found economic abuse in 89% of the domestic abuse cases studied, and explains how perpetrators restrict resources, exploit a partner's income and credit, generate debt, sabotage employment and manipulate household finances.   Laura and Nicola discuss new trends they are seeing and challenge the assumption that having a job, earning your own money or managing a joint bank account means you have financial independence. They discuss survivors who believed they controlled the household finances, only to later recognise that their partner was concealing income, exploiting their earnings or manipulating debt behind the scenes.   They also explore why economic abuse can continue - and sometimes intensify - long after separation, through property, debt, child-related costs and repeated use of the family and civil courts.   Laura and Dr Nicola Sharp-Jeffs also recently had a deeply insightful discussion in the Crime Analyst Squad unpacking the hidden patterns and devastating impact of economic abuse, financial control and coercive control. You can listen here.   In this episode Laura and Nicola discuss:  The difference between restriction, exploitation and sabotage.   The subtle behaviours that can signal economic abuse.   How perpetrators undermine a woman's confidence in managing money.   Why earning money doesn't necessarily mean having control over it.   Hidden accounts, coerced debt and financial exploitation.   How pregnancy, motherhood and leaving the workforce can create economic vulnerability.   The intersection between economic abuse and other forms of coercive control.   How perpetrators adapt their tactics when women are financially independent.   Post-separation economic abuse and the use of property, children and the courts to maintain control.   Why economic abuse can become a major barrier to leaving — and a reason victims return.   The work being done with banks and creditors to recognise coerced debt and, in some cases, have it written off.   Why protecting access to and control over your own economic resources matters before, during and after a relationship.   Money is not simply money in an abusive relationship. It can mean independence, choice, safety and the ability to leave.   #DrNicolaSharpJeffs #EconomicAbuse #FinancialAbuse #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #PowerAndControl #FinancialControl #EconomicJustice #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast  More from Dr Nicola Sharp-Jeffs OBE: Website: All things economic abuse  Book: Understanding and Responding to Economic Abuse (Feminist Developments in Violence and Abuse) : Sharp-Jeffs, Nicola: Amazon.co.uk: Books  Podcast: Economic Justice Monitor | Podcast on Spotify  LinkedIn: Dr Nicola Sharp-Jeffs OBE, CF | LinkedIn  Instagram: @nicolajanesharpallthingsea   Clip   https://youtu.be/HtL0w8rZbzc?is=Gv18-hvRpJA64baj    Support Crime Analyst   If you value these conversations, please follow, rate, and review Crime Analyst wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this remastered episode, which was recorded on the three-year anniversary of 22-year-old Gabby Petito’s murder, Laura interviews Nichole Schmidt, Gabby’s mother.  Nichole shares what Gabby was like growing up as well as details about Brian and Gabby’s relationship and what she now knows to be the red flags.  Gabby was reported missing on September 11 2021 after her 23-year-old fiancé, Brian Laundrie, returned from a cross-country road trip without her on September 1 2021. Instead of speaking with Gabby’s family, the Laundrie family chose to lawyer up.  In honour of Gabby, listen to the conversation and share the episodes with family and friends. It might just save a life.

Imagine waiting 530 days waiting for the trial of the man who groomed, controlled, strangled and assaulted you only to walk into court on day one and be told there would be no trial. Behind closed doors a plea deal was negotiated dramatically altering the outcome of the case, resulting in Robert Hastings walking free – no prison time.  Strangulation and coercive control are high risk behaviours correlating significantly with serious harm and femicide – yet far too often abusers are rarely charged. This case was rare because it did and yet there was still no justice.  Listen as Laura and Paris explore Paris’s own experience, including how her children were targeted, how perpetrators exploit systems to maintain power and control long after a relationship has ended, and why recognising these behaviours is critical to preventing serious harm and homicide.  Paris also shares how surviving abuse has transformed her into an advocate for change through Paris's Law, her campaign to reform the criminal justice system so that victims are no longer re-traumatised by late guilty pleas in domestic abuse cases.  In this episode Laura and Paris discuss:  Why non-fatal strangulation is one of the strongest predictors of femicide;   The 530-day wait for trial and the impact of late guilty pleas on victims;   Image management and how perpetrators present themselves to others;   Grooming, manipulation and behavioural patterns used to establish power and control;  Stalking and post-separation abuse as continuing patterns of coercive control;  Why high-risk behaviours must never be viewed in isolation;  The emotional toll of navigating the criminal justice system;   Paris's Law and why legislative reform is urgently needed.   More from Paris Shears   Paris’s Event   Paris's Law Campaign  https://www.parislaw.co.uk   Parliament Petition  https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/764553   #ParisShears #ParissLaw #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #NonFatalStrangulation #BehaviouralAnalysis #Victimology #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #ViolenceAgainstWomen #MaleViolence #HomicidePrevention #TrueCrime #Podcast    Clip   https://youtu.be/nSzElsRv538?si=9fG8nozG2c--qmiy    Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsor Who Make the Show Possible.

Paris Shears never imagined that the man she fell in love with would groom, physically harm and control her. What began as a seemingly loving relationship became a pattern of coercive control, intimidation and violence that left her fearing for her life.  When Paris's former partner was charged with offences including intentional strangulation and assault, he initially pleaded not guilty. After more than a year with the trial looming over her head, Paris went to court for the first day of the trial, and there was a closed meeting where he changed his plea and took a deal. The consequences have been devastating for Paris which is why she  launched a petition calling for Paris's Law, and urgent reform so perpetrators cannot control victims once charged and benefit from changing their plea at the last minute in cases involving domestic abuse and coercive control.   In this episode Laura and Paris discuss:  Paris's relationship and the gradual progression of coercive control.   Grooming behaviours and how predators identify and exploit vulnerability.   The impact of people-pleasing, trauma and self-abandonment.   Red flags and behavioural patterns that should never be ignored.   Why coercive control is often misunderstood by family, friends and professionals.   The criminal charges brought against Paris's former partner and the outcome of the case.   The impact of late guilty pleas on victims and the justice process.   Paris's Law campaign and the reforms Paris hopes to achieve.   Why behavioural analysis and pattern recognition are critical to preventing violence against women and girls.   More from Paris Shears  Paris's Law Campaign https://www.parislaw.co.uk   Parliament Petition https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/764553  #ParisShears #ParissLaw #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #NonFatalStrangulation #BehaviouralAnalysis #Victimology #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #ViolenceAgainstWomen #MaleViolence #HomicidePrevention #TrueCrime #Podcast   Clip   https://fb.watch/IOcYRotX2B/    Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsor Who Make the Show Possible.

In April 2024 25-year-old Kennedi Westcarr-Sabaroche was a social media marketer and mother from East London who was found murdered in her car. She had been strangled and stabbed. Days before her death, Kennedi told a friend she was “on a break” from her relationship with Gogoa Lois Tape. But Tape lured her to meet him under false pretences and strangled her in the driver’s seat of her own car—for eight minutes.   Tape was charged with murder, but prosecutors ultimately accepted a guilty plea to the lesser offence of manslaughter by diminished responsibility. He was sentenced to a hospital order under Section 37 of the Mental Health Act with a restriction order under Section 41. This means he will not serve a day in prison.   In this episode, Laura applies her expertise in behavioural analysis to determine whether there were coercive and controlling behaviours prior to Kennedi’s death and examines Tepe’s post offence behaviour where he confesses to murder.  Did he have clarity of mind and a consciousness of guilt? Did the court get it right? Just five months after sentencing, there was a move to apply for escorted leave for Tape. Linda is aggrieved and shares and why this is not justice.  In this episode Laura and Linda discuss:  Victimology: Kennedi's life and the person she was beyond the headlines;  The antecedents to Kennedi’s death;   Behavioural patterns and warning signs that should never be ignored;   The impact of coercive control and escalating abuse;  The family's experience of the investigation and court process;   The intersection of violent offending, mental illness and public safety;  Why victims and families deserve to be heard;  What needs to change to better protect women and prevent future homicides.   #KennediWestcarrSabaroche #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #DomesticAbuse #CoerciveControl #MaleViolence #Femicide #Expert #Analysis #Victimology #HomicidePrevention #TrueCrime #Podcast   Clip   https://www.tiktok.com/@yeamasaphar3/video/7607190671186726166?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc   Support Crime Analyst   If you value these conversations, please follow, rate, and review Crime Analyst wherever you listen to podcasts.

Investigative journalist Mandy Matney is best known for doggedly pursuing and unraveling Alex Murdaugh's financial crimes against his 100-year-old family law firm and its clients in the low country of South Carolina. Mandy’s coverage of and in-depth investigation into Murdaugh’s legal dynasty family began in 2019, when a boat crash involving 19-year-old Paul Murdaugh resulted in the death of 19 -year-old Mallory Beach. Mandy's relentless reporting continued through 2021 with the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh and extensive trial of former attorney Alex Murdaugh, who was eventually found guilty of their murders. However, in 2026 he was granted a new trial.    Mandy told the story via the hugely successful "Murdaugh Murders Podcast" which led to the Hulu miniseries "Murdaugh: Death in the Family", on which Mandy served as executive producer.     On 7/13/26, Judge R. Keith Kelly, Hampton County, SC, issued a contempt order against Mandy and ordered her to pay $176,500 in attorneys' fees and a fine for "wilfully" failing to appear for a deposition on March 27 2026 in the case of Beach v Parker, et al, in which she is a non-party. Of note is that the deposition did go ahead 11 days later.    In this episode, Laura and Mandy carefully examine the timeline of events, the courtroom proceedings and the wider implications-not only for Mandy, but for investigative reporting more broadly. Laura also shares her analysis of patterns of  behaviour of those who stalk and harass and how common it is for courts not to understand motivation, threats and the ‘dripping tap’ power and control related intimidation tactics used by men against women.    #MandyMatney #Murdaugh #PressFreedom #InvestigativeJournalism #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Stalking #Fixation #Obsession #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime      More from Mandy Matney and LunaShark  Support Mandy directly: Go Fund Me  LunaShark  LunaShark Premium  Links:  Youtube https://youtube.com/channel/UC6t_kdvrDw2p1F79IBnnNWQ  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/truesunlightpod  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/109188244940222  Tiktok https://tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia    Clip   https://www.youtube.com/live/0wmHESgSHSA?si=ASJBdEm_VAvkqGKI     Sources  https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Matney-Contempt-Order-13July2026.pdf   S.C.

In this episode, Laura interviews pioneering human rights lawyer and CEO of the Centre for Women's Justice, Harriet Wistrich, whose groundbreaking work has helped transform the way the justice system responds to male violence against women and girls.    Together, Laura and Harriet analyse landmark cases including John Worboys and Sally Challen, the campaign to criminalise coercive control, and the legal mechanisms used to keep dangerous offenders behind bars.     Harriet also shares the realities of fighting for systemic change through strategic litigation, the legacy of the botched investigation into serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, the role feminism has played in exposing institutional misogyny, and why behavioural patterns-not isolated incidents -must remain central to understanding male violence against women.    This is a fascinating conversation about justice, accountability, law reform, and the power of persistence in changing systems that have historically failed women.  For a deeper dive in to the John Worboys case and Harriet’s successful legal challenge, listen to the Ringleader and Lifer live interview in the Crime Analyst Squad. The legal judgments and documents referenced during that discussion are also available exclusively in the episode post.    Listen to The Forgotten Victims.

Joanna Simpson was brutally killed by her estranged husband, British Airways pilot Robert Brown, just one week before their divorce was due to be finalised. Brown pre-dug a grave and hid her body in Great Windsor Park. He finally admitted killing Joanna with a claw hammer, but he was acquitted of murder and convicted of manslaughter which meant he was eligible for release after 13 years. Following years of campaigning by Joanna's mother Diana Parkes, best friend Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, Laura Richards and thousands of Crime Analyst listeners, Brown’s automatic release was stopped in 2023.   He came up for parole in April 2026. In this episode, Laura interviews Hetti Barkworth-Nanton and they take you behind the Parole Board Hearing sharing new details about Brown's psychopathic behaviour and ongoing risk.   Laura analyses and discusses with Hetti the significance of the evidence considered by the panel, including the relevance of coercive control, the importance of judicial sentencing remarks, and why understanding behavioural patterns - not simply convictions - is imperative when assessing dangerousness and risk.    In this episode Laura and Hetti discuss:  The significance of the fact-finding process prior to the Parole Board Hearing.   What the panel learned about Robert Brown's behaviour and psychology from a 330 page dossier.   Why psychopathy and behavioural patterns matter in risk assessment.   The importance of coercive control when assessing risk and dangerousness.   The knife incident and why it remained significant despite no criminal conviction.   Why the original sentencing remarks became crucial evidence years later.   The difference between criminal convictions and behavioural evidence.   What "retained culpability" means and why it mattered at the Parole Board Hearing.   Lessons for professionals assessing high-risk perpetrators.   Why understanding coercive control saves lives.     This episode continues Crime Analyst's landmark series examining Joanna Simpson's murder, the campaign that prevented Robert Brown's release, and the lessons every professional -and every listener - can learn about coercive control, risk assessment and the importance of understanding dangerous behaviour before tragedy occurs.    If you haven't already listened to Laura's landmark Joanna Simpson series, start here: https://www.crime-analyst.com/case-004-joanna-simpson-a-miscarriage-of-justice/    #JoannaSimpson #HerNameWasJoSimpson #RobertBrown #BritishAirwaysKiller #CoerciveControl #Stalking #PreventMurderInSlowMotionä #WomenMatter #ChildrenMatter #DomesticAbuse #MaleViolence #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #DomesticHomicide #NotAnotherJo      Clip   https://www.facebook.com/reel/1494827995475239    Sources  View the Judicial Review  Crime Analyst Episodes on Joanna Simpson’s case:  Ep 105: Joanna Simpson: A Miscarriage of Justice, Part 1  Ep 107: Joanna Simpson: A Miscarriage of Justice, Part 2  Ep 110: How to Save a Life with Hetti Nanton, Part 3  Ep 111: Reflections of Joanna Simpson, Part 4  The Case of Joanna Simpson: the British Airways killer who must stay behind bars  The Case of Joanna Simpson: killer pilot Robert Brown planned every detail of killing Jo  Ep 189: The British Airways Killer to Remain in Prison: The Judicial Review, Part 5    SIGN the petition for serial domestic abusers and stalkers to be on the same register as sex offenders and ensure they are proactively assessed and monitored.    https://www.jsfoundation.org.uk/  https://refuge.org.uk/    Laura’s Resources and Training information: www.dashriskchecklist.com www.thelaurarichards.com   Crime Analyst YouTube, Socials and Website   YouTube @crimeanalyst   Facebook Crime Analyst Podcast   Instagram @crimeanalyst @laurarichards999   Threads @crimeanalyst   X @thecrimeanalyst @laurarichards999   TikTok @crimeanalystpod   Website www.crime-analyst.com   Leave a 5* Review https://www.crime-analyst.com/reviews/new/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this remastered episode, Laura shares new reflections and analysis about how and why Moab police got it so wrong.    Laura outlines how and why the predominant aggressor law in Utah has been misunderstood and misapplied including one major detail which Brian disclosed to police. This important detail appears to have been overlooked or ignored.   Laura also details important guidance written by the Utah Attorney General’s Office, the Domestic Violence 101: A User-Friendly Manual on Domestic Violence for Police and Prosecutors, which points to Gabby being the victim and Brian the abuser.

In this exclusive interview Laura is joined by Jazmine’s parents following the Court of Appeal's decision to overturn the unduly lenient sentences handed to two teenage boys convicted of 10 counts of rape of two girls in Hampshire.    After widespread public outrage and a legal challenge by the Attorney General, the Court of Appeal ruled that the original sentences failed to reflect the seriousness of the offences. Two boys, who had initially avoided custody, were re-sentenced to four years' detention.     Whilst the decision marked an important step towards accountability, Jazmine’s parents explain in detail why it is still not enough and what needs to change– including a personal plea to Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr.     Laura shares her analysis of the 52-page Judgement from the Court of Appeal and Judge Rowland’s Sentencing Remarks in the context of the Sentencing Guidelines and increasing male violence to girls and women.    In this episode, Laura, and Jazmine’s parents discuss:  The severe psychological impact and harm to Jazmine; How evidence of the victim’s trauma was overlooked by Judge Rowland in favour of his impression;  How expert opinion about a sharp implement being used to cut victim C2’s clothing was overlooked in favour of Judge Rowland’s impression;  Judge Rowland’s treatment of the boys vs the girls;  The over focus on the boys so-called vulnerabilities whilst ignoring the girls;  The sentencing guidelines – what needs to change;  Lack of training and accountability for Judges and why this must change;  The foundation established by Jazmine and her family to support victims and create lasting change.  The courage shown by Jazmine and her family in speaking publicly helps shine a light on the realities of sexual violence and the urgent need for judicial accountability and reform.  More from Jazmine’s Family:  Stronger Than Silence Foundation  Support the Foundation    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:  https://www.crime-analyst.com/convicted-serial-rapists-walk-free-with-ps26-fine/  https://www.crime-analyst.com/ep-347-analysing-judge-rowlands-sentencing-remarks-in-the-hampshire-gang-rape-case-part-2/    Laura also discusses the petition calling for Judge Nicholas Rowland to be investigated and for the introduction of an independent Judicial Accountability Framework.    ACT NOW:  Sign the petition  Write to your MP  Write to Justice Secretary David Lammy  Write to Prime Minister Keir Starmer  Write to Attorney General Richard Hermer    Letter Templates Enough is enough.  🎧 Listen.

Mother of two, Joanna Simpson, was brutally killed by her estranged husband, British Airways pilot Robert Brown, on 31 October 2010. Brown smuggled a claw hammer in to Joanna's home and bludgeoned her to death before burying her body in a pre-dug grave. Despite this, Brown was acquitted of murder and convicted of manslaughter. He would serve just 13 years before becoming eligible for automatic release.    Laura’s forensic analysis of Joanna's case, together with Joanna's extraordinary mother, Diana Parkes CBE, and best friend, Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE, ignited a grassroots movement that successfully prevented Brown's automatic release.    But that was not the end. Brown was eligible for parole again in April 2026. Listen as Diana shares the all-important details of what happened at the Parole Board meeting – you won’t believe your ears.    In this episode, Laura and Di discuss:  The behind the scenes of the parole board process;  The emotional impact on Joanna's family and loved ones;  The Parole Board hearing – what the professionals recommended and the decision;  Further insights into Robert Brown’s psychopathology;  Lessons for professionals assessing coercive control, stalking and domestic abuse;  The continuing work of the Joanna Simpson Foundation, and;  Joanna's enduring legacy and why the fight for justice continues.  If you haven't already listened to Laura's landmark Joanna Simpson series, start here: https://www.crime-analyst.com/case-004-joanna-simpson-a-miscarriage-of-justice/  #JoannaSimpson #HerNameWasJoSimpson #RobertBrown #BritishAirwaysKiller #CoerciveControl #Stalking #PreventMurderInSlowMotionä #WomenMatter #ChildrenMatter #DomesticAbuse #MaleViolence #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #DomesticHomicide #NotAnotherJo    Clips   https://fb.watch/HV64mwbGDL/    Sources  View the Judicial Review  Crime Analyst Episodes on Joanna Simpson’s case:  Ep 105: Joanna Simpson: A Miscarriage of Justice, Part 1  Ep 107: Joanna Simpson: A Miscarriage of Justice, Part 2  Ep 110: How to Save a Life with Hetti Nanton, Part 3  Ep 111: Reflections of Joanna Simpson, Part 4  The Case of Joanna Simpson: the British Airways killer who must stay behind bars  The Case of Joanna Simpson: killer pilot Robert Brown planned every detail of killing Jo  Ep 189: The British Airways Killer to Remain in Prison: The Judicial Review, Part 5    SIGN the petition for serial domestic abusers and stalkers to be on the same register as sex offenders and ensure they are proactively assessed and monitored.    https://www.jsfoundation.org.uk/  https://refuge.org.uk/    Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

Three teenage boys were convicted of 17 sexual offences, including 11 rapes of two separate girls, one at knifepoint. They were sent home with a £26 fine.    This case should alarm everyone – and it is far from isolated. Laura continues her analysis of Judge Nicholas Rowland’s sentencing remarks including the lack of understanding by the Judge regarding grooming, the power imbalance, vulnerability, coercion, planning and exploitation and the boys’ histories which has resulted in a flawed risk assessment and unduly lenient. Laura has examined the case in referring to the problematic sentencing guidelines and the context of rising levels of male violence to girls and women.    In this episode, Laura explores:  What the language reveals about how victims and offenders are framed;  The minimisation of rape, coercion, intimidation, grooming and planning;  How victim blaming can appear in courtroom language;  What was prioritised — and what was ignored;  The failure to properly recognise grooming, power imbalance, and removal of consent; Why the boys’ histories and escalating behaviours matter;  The concerning lack of sentencing guidance for serious sexual offences committed by children;  What this means for risk, accountability, public safety, and prevention;  Why judicial training and a Judicial Accountability Framework are urgently needed.  Laura also discusses the wider implications of the case in the context of increasing male violence against women and girls and asks urgent questions about who the criminal justice system is protecting.    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:  https://www.crime-analyst.com/convicted-serial-rapists-walk-free-with-ps26-fine/    Laura also discusses the petition calling for Judge Nicholas Rowland to be investigated and for the introduction of an independent Judicial Accountability Framework.    ACT NOW:  Sign the petition  Write to your MP  Write to Justice Secretary David Lammy  Write to Prime Minister Keir Starmer  Write to Attorney General Richard Hermer    Letter Templates Enough is enough.  More from Jazmine’s Family: Stronger Than Silence Foundation Support the Foundation   🎧 Listen.

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.  Wyoming Crime Scene Visit:  Laura recently recorded an exclusive episode based in Wyoming where she retraces Gabby Petito's final footsteps, shares new crime scene observations and behavioural analysis, and compares Brian Laundrie's so-called confession letter with what most likely happened in Gabby's final days.

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:  https://www.crime-analyst.com/convicted-serial-rapists-walk-free-with-ps26-fine/    Laura also discusses the petition calling for Judge Nicholas Rowland to be investigated and for the introduction of an independent Judicial Accountability Framework.    ACT NOW:  Sign the petition Write to your MP  Write to Justice Secretary David Lammy  Write to Prime Minister Keir Starmer  Write to Attorney General Richard Hermer  Letter Templates Enough is enough.    More from Jazmine’s Family: Stronger Than Silence Foundation Support the Foundation 🎧 Listen.

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.   ACT NOW: ·       Sign the petition ·       Write to your MP ·       Write to Justice Secretary David Lammy ·       Write to Prime Minister Keir Starmer ·       Write to Attorney General Richard Hermer   Letter Templates Enough is enough.

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.

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. #GabbyPetito #HerNameWasGabbyPetito #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #Psychology #WomenMatter #Prevention #MaleViolence #Femicide #Intervention Clips   https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2021/09/17/missing-florida-adventurer-gabby-petito-jones-pkg-vpx.cnnhttps://kutv.com/news/local/moab-police-chief-taking-family-medical-leave-time-due-to-undisclosed-issuehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHlxua6OCQE Sources https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/01/us/gabby-petito-brian-laundrie-update-friday/index.htmlhttps://kutv.com/news/local/was-petito-body-cam-footage-delayed-or-withheld-emails-cast-doubt-on-moab-pds-storyhttps://kutv.com/news/local/moab-police-chief-taking-family-medical-leave-time-due-to-undisclosed-issuehttps://kslnewsradio.com/1956425/national-park-service-stonewalls-public-records-in-gabby-petito-case/ 2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community   For more insight and knowledge, advocacy and professional development join The Crime Analyst Squad.

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.   #CrimeAnalyst #SarahFerris #CONmunityPodcast #CoerciveControl #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Manipulation #Gaslighting #Grooming #HiddenAbuse #TrustYourInstincts #RedFlags #PatternRecognition #WomenSafety #Empowerment #Prevention #ProtectYourself    Clip  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/coming-soon-season-two-the-badmiral/id1516505977?i=1000730730060 Find Sarah here:  Sarah Ferris CONmunity Podcast  Klooghless Podcast Watching Two Detectives: Stop the Killing  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conmunitypodcast    New charges: https://www.examiner.com.au/story/9233967/alleged-east-coast-conman-to-face-eventual-supreme-court-trial/   Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

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.

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.   #CrimeAnalyst #SarahFerris #CONmunityPodcast #CoerciveControl #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Manipulation #Gaslighting #Grooming #HiddenAbuse #TrustYourInstincts #RedFlags #PatternRecognition #WomenSafety #Empowerment #Prevention #ProtectYourself    Clip  https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/s1-e1-the-romcon/id1516505977?i=1000504874056 Find Sarah here:  Sarah Ferris CONmunity Podcast  Klooghless Podcast Watching Two Detectives: Stop the Killing  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conmunitypodcast    New charges: https://www.examiner.com.au/story/9233967/alleged-east-coast-conman-to-face-eventual-supreme-court-trial/   Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

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.

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. ·       Empower You App: A tool for discreetly documenting abuse and finding support.   This episode contains important, life-changing and life-saving information about coercive control, risk, and recognising patterns of abuse.   Listen and share this episode.

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.

Laura interviews Ella McCrystal about surviving child sexual abuse, rape and domestic abuse, and the complex dynamics that can keep victims silent - including people-pleasing, fear, and when other family members and friends support and enable the abuser.  Together they discuss the red flags that a child is being groomed, accountability and societal attitudes towards abusers, and the urgent need to centre survivors rather than protecting perpetrators or reputations. Laura draws parallels with Virginia Roberts Giuffre and the Jeffrey Epstein case, the protection of powerful perpetrators and the societal narratives that often silence victims while enabling abuse to continue.  Ella also shares insight into her journey of healing and recovery, offering an honest and hopeful perspective on rebuilding life after trauma.   ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, rape, domestic abuse and trauma, which some listeners may find distressing.

18 years after her wrongful arrest for the murder of 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox returns to Perugia, Italy, to confront the man who led an aggressive prosecution against her: Dr Giuliano Mignini.    In this episode, Laura Richards deconstructs the psychological and systemic failures—including confirmation bias and media distortion - that allowed a "fictionalized" narrative to supersede forensic reality – for nearly a decade.   Key Discussion Points & Behavioral Analysis: ·       The Prosecutorial Narrative: Amanda reflects on how the prosecution built a case around a "sex game gone wrong," a story that persisted despite the lack of forensic evidence connecting her to the crime and only one suspects, Rudy Guede’s, DNA at the crime scene. ·       Systemic Failures: A deep dive into the legal hurdles and institutional injustices that denied Amanda a fair trial, including the early "fast-track" trial of Rudy Guede that effectively shielded him from public scrutiny while Amanda remained the media's focus. ·       The Psychology of Public Vilification: Laura explores the "Foxy Knoxy" tabloid phenomenon, analyzing how confirmation bias and sexualized media tropes were used to dehumanize Amanda and influence public perception. ·       Confronting the "Wolf": Amanda discusses her decision to meet face-to-face with lead prosecutor Dr Giuliano Mignini. She explores the complex journey from being a "hurt person" seeking understanding to finding the capacity for grace and regular correspondence with the man who imprisoned her. ·       Documenting Trauma: Christopher Robinson shares the emotional weight of filming Amanda’s return to Italy, balancing his dual roles as a protective husband and a filmmaker capturing raw, often unflattering moments of vulnerability and healing.  ·       Watch Mouth of the Wolf on Disney Plus and Hulu. ·         #MeredithKercher #AmandaKnox #RudyGuede #Podcast #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalyst #CriminalBehaviouralAnalysis #Forensics #Police #Advocacy #ItalianPolice #Mignini #truecrimepodcast #podcast #expert #expertanalysis   Clip  https://youtu.be/2MkaH9qgZwk?si=aea9UgTcXdKk0HyI  More from Amanda and Christopher:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39365783/        • The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox | Official...       2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community   Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses : University Accredited DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.   Register for Masterclasses     www.dashriskchecklist.com www.thelaurarichards.com     For more insight and knowledge, advocacy and professional development join The Crime Analyst Squad.

While on bail for assaulting her, Tyrone Thompson broke into Mackenzie Anderson’s home and stabbed the 21-year-old mother 78 times as her toddler looked on.  Laura’s conversation with Tabitha Acret continues and the focus turns from the courtroom to the culture that enables violence against women. Laura and Tabitha examine how women are treated within society and the justice system, and explore how these crimes are often minimised, normalised, or reframed, and why accountability must extend beyond individual perpetrators to the wider systems and social attitudes that protect them. Mackenzie’s was a Murder in Slow Motion™.  Laura and Tabitha explore the intervention and prevention points in Mackenzie’s case - the moments where action could have changed the outcome - and the case law and government reforms still urgently needed. They also speak directly to the role men must play in changing this culture, including how influencing young boys and men begins in the home. This episode is not only about what happened to Mackenzie - it is about what must change. It is a call for accountability, prevention, intervention and meaningful reform. And it reminds every listener that we all have a role to play in challenging harmful narratives and creating safer communities. Together we can save lives.   #MackenzieAnderson #TabithaAcret #DomesticViolence #Femicide #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #NewSouthWales Clip https://youtu.be/SG4ByDtcSE0?si=aHEBsR6rAn8d0T-Q More from Tabitha Acret Tabitha on Instagram  Tabitha on FB   Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

The Hulu’s series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh’s behaviour with forensic precision.   Registration for spring 2026 Masterclasses is now open here: bit.ly/LRMasterclasses2026 *** Listen to the new introduction. It’s important information regarding Alex Murdaugh’s appeal and psychopaths like Murdaugh and Dominique Pelicot (Gisèle Pelicot) being called ‘good guys.’ Laura shares important facts and evidence that point to motive and continues to unravel the timeline including Murdaugh’s significant debt and borrowing, his horrific abuse of power and trust of vulnerable clients and so-called drug addiction. Pamela Pinckney, her son Hakeem Pinckney along with Alania Plyler Spohn and Hannah Plyler turned to Murdaugh at the very worst time in their lives. He used and exploited them, funnelling off money from their legal wins in addition to the money he earned from inflated legal fees and expenses. Laura shares what this behaviour reveals about Murdaugh’s psychology and how it relates to the motive for brutally killing Maggie and Paul and staging their murders as a revenge kill for the boat crash.

21-year-old Mackenzie Anderson was stabbed 78 times with her 15-month-old son present. Her ex, Tyrone Thompson broke into her home whilst he was on bail for assaulting her. Not content with terrorizing and murdering Mackenzie, Tabitha Acret, Mackenzie’s mother, shares how Thompson continued to abuse the system to terrorize Mackenzie’s family even before the trial began. His outrageous claims of self-defense and the disturbing facts revealed for the first time in court will outrage you, compounded by the lenient sentence for what was described as an ‘unremarkable crime’ exposing a stark truth about how women’s lives are too often valued less than men’s within the justice system. This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, accountability, and the urgent need for systemic reform. #MackenzieAnderson #TabithaAcret #DomesticViolence #Femicide #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #NewSouthWales Clip https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN78FzCAZvT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link More from Tabitha Acret Tabitha on Instagram  Tabitha on FB 2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community   Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behavior, stalking class on February 12, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion on February 19, coercive control February 25, DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.   Register for Masterclasses   Laura is hosting a FREE Criminal Behavioural Analysis: Profiling Behaviour & Escalating Risk- Learn about behaviours to prevent homicides & identifying the red flags and risks associated with domestic abuse, stalking, coercive control, child abuse & sexual violence.

In this episode Laura shares an update regarding Alex Murdaugh’s appeal hearing in the Supreme Court on February 11 2026. The focus and timing of this coinciding with part 13 of the remastered series is wild! As wild as the fact this case is truly never ending. Laura unravels the timeline and shares that, in addition to the boat crash case and PMPED’s COO and CFO Jeanne Seckinger’s confrontation with Murdaugh about the missing $792k missing legal fees on June 7th, there was another very serious investigation into Murdaugh’s behaviour and finances, which began before Maggie and Paul’s murders. Laura then details Gloria Satterfield’s troubling case and how a Judge signed off on a $4.3m settlement, which included $1.45m attorney fees and $105,000 prosecution expenses, which went to guess who? Gloria’s family knew nothing about this. One month before signing off on the settlement, that same Judge recused herself from the boat crash case due to her long-standing relationship with Murdaugh. In this episode, Laura also highlights first hand testimony from those who knew Murdaugh the best which helps develop the behavioural profile of Murdaugh and talks to motive. Join Laura as she breaks it all down. #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #StephenSmith #GloriaSatterfield #MalloryBeach #MurdaughMurders #Murder #AlexMurdaugh #MaleViolence #DomesticAbuse #DomesticHomicide #Timeline #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #TrueCrimePodcast   Clips   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qUgdtQlAnQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fLV7aWq7t0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r3IkeqM7a4 https://www.fitsnews.com/2022/04/26/murdaugh-murders-saga-south-carolina-grand-jury-was-probing-alex-murdaughs-finances-prior-to-double-homicide/     Sources   https://murdaughmurderspodcast.com/ https://www.justice.gov/usao-sc/pr/alex-murdaugh-indicted-federal-conspiracy-wire-fraud-bank-fraud-and-money-laundering https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/talahassee-democrat.jpeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StHXgB0oSoQ https://www.thedailybeast.com/alex-murdaughs-pmped-law-firm-colleagues-describe-his-work-behavior-in-murder-trial https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/federal-judge-says-multi-million-dollar-murdaugh-insurance-policy-doesnt-cover-boat-crash-that-killed-mallory-beach/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mallory-beach-death-alex-murdaugh-boating-crash/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10045843/Alex-Murdaughs-wife-Maggie-met-divorce-attorney-just-six-weeks-killed.html https://people.com/crime/maggie-murdaugh-saw-divorce-lawyer-six-weeks-before-murders/ https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/06/us/alex-murdaugh-whats-next/index.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/alex-murdaugh-trial-voicemail-pills-b2284637.html https://wpde.com/news/local/judge-approves-43m-judgement-for-estate-of-alex-murdaugh-housekeeper-gloria-satterfield https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/curtis-eddie-smith-bond-alex-murdaugh-b2313351.html   Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community   The Crime Analyst Squad is a growing and dynamic community offering expert insight, in-depth conversations, exclusive episodes and videos, and live events.

On March 25, 2022, 21-year-old Mackenzie Anderson was brutally murdered in Mayfield, New South Wales. She was stabbed more than 78 times by her ex-partner, Tyrone Thompson, in front of her toddler. Thomspon had been released on bail just 16 days earlier, despite a documented history of serious domestic violence. In the weeks before her death, Mackenzie did everything she was told would keep her safe. She called emergency services repeatedly when he broke into her home. She reported ongoing abuse. She worked with police. She secured an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order. None of it was enough. In this confronting and emotional episode, Laura is joined by Tabitha Acret, Mackenzie’s mother, who shares who her daughter was beyond the headlines—and the devastating reality of living with a loss that never eases. Together, they speak honestly about the warning signs that were missed, the failures that left Mackenzie unprotected, and the permanent impact on her family, especially her child. This episode centers Mackenzie’s life, not just her death, and asks the hard questions about why women who ask for help are still not being heard. It’s yet another stark reminder that intimate partner violence is predictable, preventable, and too often ignored—until it’s too late. #MackenzieAnderson #TabithaAcret #DomesticViolence #Femicide #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #newSouthWales Clip https://youtube.com/shorts/ZqlullDAqUk?si=_W_aoe_y9nb1Anz3   More from Tabitha Acret  Tabitha on FB 2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community   Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behavior, stalking class on February 12, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion on February 19, coercive control February 25, DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.   Register for Masterclasses   Laura is hosting a FREE Criminal Behavioural Analysis: Profiling Behaviour & Escalating Risk- Learn about behaviours to prevent homicides & identifying the red flags and risks associated with domestic abuse, stalking, coercive control, child abuse & sexual violence.

Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh’s behaviour with forensic precision.   Remember to listen to the new episodes and interviews with Mandy Matney, Erin Lee Carr, Liz Farrell and David Moses in the Crime Analyst Squad: patreon.com/CrimeAnalyst   ******   In this episode Laura starts her deep dive into the Murdaugh family's timeline. In the family’s orbit, there are at least five dead bodies in six years, including Stephen Smith, Gloria Satterfield, Mallory Beach, and Maggie and Paul. However, Laura doesn't stop there. She takes a wide-angle lens approach to the case, tracing it back to the beginning of the Murdaugh family's reign of power and influence. This includes business partnerships with convicted drug traffickers and the suspicious death of a key federal witness just before he was due to give evidence.   As Laura continues her analysis, she also examines the shifting dynamics between Murdaugh and two significant women in his life. Both women begin questioning him about money, refusing to play by his rules. Additionally, Laura delves into the boat crash that resulted in Mallory Beach's death and a lawyer who was not afraid to hold Murdaugh accountable and ensure justice for the Beach family at all costs.   Overall, Laura's deep dive into the Murdaugh family's timeline is a shocking and eye-opening look at the dark side of power, control, and influence.

Vilified in the press and online, her world spiraled. Caroline spoke with Dov about making a documentary about what really happened.  The next day she was found dead. Devastated and distressed, Christine, Caroline’s mother, never stopped searching for the truth about her daughter’s final moments, and she agreed to do the documentary of the story Caroline never got to share.  Join Laura and Dov as they go behind the scenes and share the shocking details that shaped Caroline’s final days.   #CarolineFlack #ChristineFlack #CuriousFilms #DovFreedman  #CrimeAnalyst #ExpertAnalysis #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #Expert Clips  https://youtu.be/f4ccE8LNIFU?si=SdkUfb08do7UKgtG Sources  Hulu’s Caroline Flack: Search for The Truth Caroline Flack: Her Life and Death  More from Dov Feeedman: Dov Freedman Instagram- @curiousfilms1 Dov Freedman LinkedInCurious Films    Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

30-year-old Mica Miller, née Francis was found dead from a gunshot wound at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County, North Carolina on April 27, 2024.  Her death occurred just two days after she had served her husband, John Paul Miller, with divorce papers. In December Miller was indicted for cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators. He appeared in federal court on January 11 2026.  In this episode, you’ll hear what happened in court and Laura unravels the newly unsealed federal indictment with award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney and award-winning author Liz Farrell, co-hosts of the True Sunlight podcast. Together, they carefully unpack the charges in the indictment, timelines, and alleged behaviours, as well as discussing why this did not happen when Mica was alive.  Laura, Mandy, and Liz discuss why post-separation periods are often high-risk, how cyberstalking can function as coercive control, the importance of accountability and keeping the spotlight on these cases and why understanding patterns -not isolated events -is essential to prevention and justice.  Understanding escalation and coercive control is lifesaving and life changing.  Listen and share, you may save a life.   #MicaFrancis #MicaMiller #JusticeForMica #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #CoerciveControl #Stalking #Expert #Cyberstalking #FBI #INnvestigation     Clips  https://youtu.be/3y7f9dciL0I?si=YUd8gS8OxTUTuSuG       Sources  Links to Laura and Mandy’s previous discussion re Mica Miller (nee Francis)  Ep 200: Unraveling Mica Miller nèe Francis’ Death and Coercive Control Cross Over with Mandy Matney  Ep 201: Mica Miller Née Francis: Analysing The Digital Evidence and Mica’s List, Part 2   Link to Cross Over episode with Mandy and Laura on Cup of Justice Ep #86:  Apple Link:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coj-86-crime-analyst-expert-laura-richards-joins-mandy/id1668668400?i=1000659373717  Spotify Link  https://open.spotify.com/episode/10P6t5LmMxF3YHUdgxPcm9?si=e3832e105dc1430d    Mandy and Liz:   Mandy IG  Mandy Website Murdaugh Murders Podcast   Liz on Instagram  Liz Website  Liz on Cup of Justice     2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community     Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behavior, stalking class on February 12, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion on February 19, coercive control February 25, DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.  Register for Masterclasses     www.dashriskchecklist.com   www.thelaurarichards.com       For more insight and knowledge, advocacy and professional development join The Crime Analyst Squad.

Laura is joined by Erin Lee Carr, a two-time Emmy nominated American documentary film director and producer and co-creator and executive producer of Hulu’s Murdaugh: Death in the Family for a deep dive examination of Alex Murdaugh and the making of Murdaugh: Death in the Family.  Together, Laura and Erin analyze the choices Alex Murdaugh made and debate the role drugs played in his brutal crimes. Laura highlights intentionality in the pre planning stages of the murders, the murders themselves and post offence behaviour that point to clarity of mind whilst Erin shares candid insight of both her and her father, David Carr’s addiction journeys as well unique insight into the realities of documentary filmmaking and scripted shows: the critical differences between them -including the ethical responsibilities, limitations, and strengths inherent in each format. This conversation examines how power, control, ego and entitlement operate both on screen and behind closed doors -and why understanding patterns of behaviour is essential to prevention. Learn the patterns. Identify the risk. Save lives.

Laura interviews award winning writer and co-host of The Murdaugh Murders podcast Liz Farrell. Liz is played by Alicia Kelly in the hit Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family. Laura asks Liz about Paul Murdaugh’s history of abuse of Morgan Doughty being excluded from the series as well as the latest developments in Alex Murdaugh’s appeal filing. Laura and Liz profile other abusive and coercively controlling men including Brian Walshe who mounted a lubricous defense at his trial for the murder of Ana Walshe and Liz shares unique personal insight, having attended school with Brian. Laura highlights another potential hidden homicide – the triple deaths of Charity Beallis and her two children, and the unanswered questions surrounding the earlier death of Dr Randall Beallis first wife, Shawna Beallis.   Throughout, Laura and Liz expose how coercive control operates behind closed doors and in plain sight  - how patterns of power, dominance, and entitlement escalate, and why these warning signs are so often missed. When we understand how power and control operate, we are better equipped to protect victims and save lives. Listen. Learn the patterns. Save Lives.

On January 31, 2019, Libby Squire, a 21-year-old university student, disappeared following a night out with friends in Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire.  Libby was abducted, raped, and murdered by a sexual predator.  Her killer, Pawel Relowicz, was later convicted of her rape and murder, and was charged with additional voyeurism, outraging public decency and burglary offences.  Laura is joined by Lisa Squire, Libby’s mother, who bravely shares her family’s story and the devastating impact of her daughter’s murder, and the lifelong trauma families endure when systems fail to prevent violence. Laura carefully unravels the behavioural patterns and risk factors present in Libby’s case challenging common myths around “random” attacks and highlighting how opportunity, predatory behaviour, and escalation intersect. Laura, Jodie and Lisa dive deep into the red flags and patterns present in the behaviour of these repeat offenders, and what needs to happen next to save women and children’s lives.  This is an essential listen; it could save a life. #LauraMortimer #EllaDalby #LibbySquires #DoubleMurder #Investigation #Behaviour #Risk #EarlyWarningSigns #CoerciveControl #SerialPerpetrator #Manipulation #Psychopath #Stalking #Predatorymen #MaleViolence #Manipulation #Prison #Release #CrimeAnalyst #Expert  #Podcast #Femicide #Murder #TrueCrime Clips  https://youtu.be/yacBZbd4E-g?si=9Zmo1sKGFdDa6Bzq More from Lisa and Jodie: Instagram If you’d like to learn more about the incredible work that Lisa Squire and Jodie Edith are doing, or to book their powerful workshop, May Their Voices Save Lives, you can visit www.nurturefromwithin.co.uk/activism. 2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community   Join Laura’s new 2026 Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behavior, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion, DASH, DASH Train the Trainer, coercive control, and stalking.

In this episode Natalie Queiroz, MBE joins Laura for an important and emotional update.  Natalie shares the latest development in her case - that Raja’s open-prison status has been revoked -for now- and they dive deep into the tireless campaign Laura and Natalie are working on to stop domestic abusers and stalkers from being eligible for early open-prison transfer. The change in Raja’s status is a critical step forward, but as Natalie and Laura discuss, the relief is short-lived. The system’s lack of clarity, inconsistent assessments, and ongoing failures leave victims trapped in cycles of anxiety, retraumatisation, and fear. Together, they explore the emotional and psychological toll of a system that overlooks intent to murder, and the continued danger of coercive controllers, why domestic abusers, coercive controllers and stalkers must be exempt from early open-prison transfer, along with the urgent need for specialised training for offender managers and probation officers and  implications for victims’ safety, justice, and reform. Please take action:Listen, share, and amplify, and write to Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and call for domestic abusers and stalkers to be excluded from early transfer to open prison. Your voice matters -together, we can drive change and save lives. Trigger warning: This is a tough listen but an important one. It could save your life.   #CrimeAnalyst #Femicide #Murder #AttemptedMurder #TrueCrime #Podcast #NatalieQueiroz #Investigation #WestMidlandsPolice #Behaviour #Risk #EarlyWarningSigns #CoerciveControl #Control #manipulation #Psychopath #BaburRaja #Prison #Release Clip   https://x.com/AndrewmitchMP/status/1988674796918567415  Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

In this episode, Laura is joined by Clare Laxton, creator and host of Killer in the Family podcast. Together, they take a deep dive into profiling family annihilators, coercive control, stalking, highlighting the risk factors to look out for, exploring how these crimes are interconnected, and often preceded by clear warning signs that are too frequently missed, and challenge false narratives and defenses killers concoct.  Laura and Clare reflect on the 10-year anniversary of their work together campaigning for coercive control law reform in England and Wales - landmark change that has saved countless lives and reshaped the criminal justice response to domestic abuse and also discuss the how and why the change was needed.  This powerful conversation explores both the professional and personal drive behind their advocacy, the systemic challenges that remain, and what must still be done to protect women and children from dangerous offenders hiding in plain sight #CrimeAnalyst #HighRisk #Entitlement #CoerciveControl #FamilyAnnihilator #KillerInTheFamily #MaleViolence #DomesticAbuse #DomesticHomicide #WomenMatter  #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast    Clips  https://dai.ly/x5xtlsw  Sources   Crime Analyst Podcast  Killer in the Family Podcast on Spotify Killer In The Family | Podcast on Spotify    More from Clare   @KillerInTheFamilyPod Instagram  Killer in the Family Podcast website ART19  Killer in the Family Podcast on Spotify Killer In The Family | Podcast on Spotify  Killer in the Family Podcast on Apple Killer In The Family - Podcast - Apple Podcasts    Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

Laura continues her conversation with award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney, creator of The Murdaugh Murders podcast and executive producer of Murdaugh: Death in the Family on Hulu, where they dive deeper into Alex Murdaugh’s psychopathy and the spiders web of his coercive control. Laura and Mandy take a deeper look at the dynamics of the Murdaugh family and those within their inner circle - unpacking family and friend relationships, exploring signs of psychopathy, coercive control, and sexual coercion. Together, they explore the red flags, risk factors, and manipulation tactics that enable predators to operate undetected and the role that charm, influence, and privilege play in fooling those around them, and silencing victims. This powerful discussion exposes how coercive control manifests behind closed doors and how patterns of power, dominance, and entitlement escalate to murder.  Listen, learn, and share. Understanding these behavioural patterns is essential to recognising risk and saving lives.
