In this gripping episode, we uncover the shocking case of Nasen Saadi, a criminology student who crossed the line from studying crime to committing it. Amie Gray and her friend Leanne Miles were enjoying a fire at the beach before tragedy struck. Amie Gray, a mother, wife and coach, was a vibrant young woman whose life was brutally cut short. We explore Saadi’s background, his twisted fascination with criminal behavior, and the chilling events leading up to the murder. Through an in-depth look at the investigation, we reveal how Saadi’s actions betrayed the very field he claimed to study and the ripple effects of his crime on the community. From the evidence that sealed his fate to the psychological profile of a killer hiding in plain sight, this episode unpacks every harrowing detail. Join us as we examine this dark and disturbing case, reflecting on the dangerous intersection of knowledge, power, and violence. Amie Gray’s story is one of both tragedy and a stark reminder of the shadows lurking in the least expected places.
