In this episode of Serial Killers and Murderous Minds, true crime creator Annie Elise returns to frame the conclusion of the Brenda Delgado case, examining the aftermath of Kendra Hatcher’s murder and the unraveling of the plot behind it.
Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels follow investigators as they close in on Brenda, tracing her attempts to control the narrative, manipulate witnesses, and ultimately flee the country. As the case unfolds, the cracks in her story deepen, revealing how obsession and entitlement shaped every decision she made.

Later, Annie sits down with Dr. Tristin Engels for an in-depth psychological discussion, exploring the fallout of unchecked fixation, the need for control, and how these traits ultimately sealed Brenda’s fate—ending in a conviction that brought long-delayed justice.
