In October 2021, the social media influencer brutally killed his estranged wife, Ana, and her friend, Ray Barron, inside a San Diego high-rise apartment. At first, Abulaban appeared to have it all: fame, followers and a picture-perfect family. But beneath the curated clips and comedy skits was a man consumed by jealousy, rage and a desperate need for validation. His obsession with his online persona was so overpowering that he secretly recorded his wife- and even captured the sound of her final moments.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Ed Kemper, known as “The Co-Ed Killer.” In the early 1970s, young women began vanishing from the streets of Northern California. When the truth finally came to light, it revealed a killer unlike any other: a towering, soft-spoken man whose charm and intellect hid monstrous impulses. By the time he was caught, eight people – including his own mother – were dead. Only later would investigators learn that Kemper’s knack for violence began years earlier. Candice examines how deep resentment, emotional isolation, and a fractured relationship with his mother fueled one of the most chilling killing sprees of the decade, and how his later cooperation with the FBI helped shape modern criminal profiling.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong dives into the infamous case of Bryan Kohberger. In November 2022, four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered in their off-campus home, kicking off a six-week manhunt that captivated the world. When investigators traced DNA evidence and digital data back to Kohberger, a criminology PhD student studying the psychology of killers, the story took an even darker turn. Candice examines how Kohberger’s lifelong social isolation, feelings of rejection, and status as an outcast may have fueled a deep psychological need for power and control, and how his fascination with criminal minds may have ultimately led him to become one himself.
