Banfield episodes

  • The psychology of catching a wanted man like Brian Laundrie
    One month into the manhunt and there’s not a single trace of Brian Laundrie. How is that possible, especially since his face has been plastered on every TV across the country?
    Meanwhile. the protesters aren’t letting up at the little yellow bungalow where the Laundrie parents live. Now, Brian’s father is facing a lawsuit because those protests might just be getting under his skin. NewsNation’s Brian Entin joins us live from outside the home with the latest developments.
    Dr. Michael Bourke, former chief psychologist for the United States Marshals Service, also joins the show. He created the behavior analysis unit for the marshals. It was his job to help find fugitives such as Laundrie.
    And Seth Ferrenti spent two years on the run after faking his own death rather than face the consequences of going to prison for 20-plus years and having to rat on his friends for drug dealing. He talks to us about what Laundire must be going through.
    Plus, there’s a side of Colin Powell you may have never seen — the sweeter side of America’s top soldier who died Monday at 84 years old.

  • Cadaver dog called in to search for Brian Laundrie
    Investigators called in a cadaver dog to search for possible remains of Brian Laundrie in a Florida swamp that has been ground zero in the search for him after he was named a person of interest in Gabby Petito’s homicide.
    Searchers have spent well over a million dollars looking for Laundrie in that swamp since the day his parents say he went hiking and never came home. Will this single cadaver dog be able to do what dozens and dozens of law enforcement officers with the best tracking equipment have thus far been unable to do?
    Or could this be the final red flag that Brian Laundrie was never in that swamp to begin with?
    NewsNation’s Brian Entin delivers a live report from outside the Laundrie family home. Also, Ashleigh Banfield takes viewers’ questions about the case live on air.
    Also, now we know why Alex Murdaugh didn’t sport a gaping wound when we saw him in court a mere 12 days after he supposedly was shot in the head. The man accused of shooting him says if he had actually done the deed, Murdaugh would be dead.
    South Carolina lawyer Eric Bland, whose legwork on behalf of the sons of housekeeper Gloria Satterfield may well have helped bring about the newest legal migraine for Alex Murdaugh, joins “Banfield.”
    Steve Helling, People magazine senior writer, joins the show with the latest on Curtis Smith — the man charged with shooting Murdaugh.
