  • Winnipeg's Campus Cult and the Queen of Canada | Profiling Evil

    I'm on the road with the Psychology of Cults tour, and this week I'm in Winnipeg and Regina, so I dug into the cult cases from Manitoba and Saskatchewan you may never have heard. A campus ministry that pulled university students into a high-control group on Sherbrook Street. A recent scare that had young women on those same campuses wondering who was watching them. And a self-declared Queen of Canada whose followers took over a village school for two years. Different groups, different decades, but the same machinery underneath, and it is the machinery I break down every night on stage.

  • MAPPING EVIL Episode 4: When Predators Hunt Senior Citizens

    Some predators don't hunt the strong. They hunt the vulnerable, and few victims are more vulnerable than elderly people living alone. In this episode of Mapping Evil, recorded in Australia with journalist Tori Shepherd, I walk through two chilling cases where serial killers made older women their preferred prey.

    We start in Salt Lake City with Daniel Ray Troyer, a killer some believe is responsible for as many as 13 murders. Troyer chose elderly women because they were easier to control and isolate, staging their bodies to look like natural deaths so no autopsies were performed. He hit them in blitz attacks from behind, bathed and posed them. He was caught only when a burglary detective confronted him and he confessed, believing they already had him. Then Sydney's North Shore, where John Wayne Glover, a pie salesman living in Mosman, hunted elderly women across wealthy suburbs. Glover bludgeoned victims like 82-year-old Gwendolyn Mitchell Hill with a hammer, his signature strangling them with their own pantyhose. Police caught him through a stakeout at the home of Joan Sinclair.

    These cases show how predators work a hunting ground the way an animal does, staying where they succeed. They also show the power of putting pins on a map: Salt Lake City was an early adopter of digital mapping, and visualizing where these deaths clustered would have revealed the pattern far sooner.

  • Is Cult Leader the Pied Piper of Canada? The Daughter Who Would Not Come Home | Profiling Evil

    Was a radical Canadian church pulling young people away from their families, or was it simply teaching the Bible to people who chose to stay? In Ontario, parents say they watched sons and daughters slip away, and former members describe control, separation, and fear as the core tenets of the faith, while the pastor and his followers insist they were free to leave at any time. Was he just preaching biblical principles, or were people who wanted out held back by fear of eternal damnation? This is one family's fight to get their daughter out, a fight that ended with a van on a street, a Christmas-season abduction, and criminal charges that would take years to sort out.

  • Give Kessler the Cheesesteak and Send Him to Prison! | Profiling Evil

    A 74-year-old man who said he was representing himself in a Florida murder trial told a judge he would plead guilty to a life sentence in exchange for a Philly cheesesteak, fries, and a 20-ounce Pepsi, and the judge told him he had never heard a request like that in almost 40 years in the law. Robert Kessler is accused of first-degree murder and abuse of a dead human body in the 2021 killing of 47-year-old Stephanie Crone-Overholts, a mother of three from Erie, Pennsylvania, whose dismembered remains were found in Tampa's McKay Bay after she was identified by a tattoo her family recognized. Kessler told police he met her in a McDonald's parking lot where she was living out of her car. He took her in because he’d lived in Pennsylvania before and felt sorry for her. As the trial got underway, Kessler, without his Cheesesteak, changed the playing field again. Let’s dig into this bizarre defendant and use this as a reminder that you should never defend yourself, especially against a murder charge!

  • Laura Owens Got 30 Days for a 10 Years of Lies. Did Judge Blow It? | Profiling Evil

    Laura Owens was sentenced to 30 days in jail and seven years of supervised probation after pleading guilty to four felonies for a pregnancy fraud scheme that stretched across a decade and three men, and the reaction was immediate. In this video I walk you through the scheme, the hearing, and the sentence itself, with the courtroom moments that jumped out to me from one victim exclaiming to the judge that the woman wasn’t sorry for committing the fraud, she was sorry she got caught! We’ll examine the court’s decision and look at the public comment since the sentence came down. Did the judge get it right, or did the system fail the victims? You tell me if seven years of probation makes crime not worth it or is 30 days of jail time punishment enough for ten years of damage?

  • Cutting of the Head off the Cult, HYDRA and the FLDS | Profiling Evil| Profiling Evil

    Warren Jeffs was captured and sentenced to life in prison for sexually assaulting underage girls in Texas and many wondered if the polygamist cult was done for. But Samuel Bateman created his own religious offshoot with more than twenty women and girls as spiritual wives. His fifty-year federal sentence for sexual exploitation and kidnapping of children essentially cut another head of the FLDS snake. So why does the snake keep growing more heads, just like HYDRA from the Marvel Comics? At least six other FLDS men have also been convicted of serious crimes. The head of the snake keeps growing back and despite those convictions, loyal followers continue to regard these men as prophets, persecuted servants and religious martyrs?

    Let’s examine the law-enforcement strategy commonly described as “cutting off the head of the snake.” Arresting Warren Jeffs prevented him from personally supervising the FLDS, but it did not eliminate the theology, family relationships, economic dependencies and psychological conditioning that supported his authority. Jeffs continues communicating from prison, while intermediaries claim the authority to interpret or distribute his instructions. The weakening of his organization creates opportunities for rival prophetic claimants such as Samuel Bateman to thrive. I’m going to borrow a comparison from Marvel Comics and its fictional organization HYDRA, where removing one head never guarantees that the organization has been defeated. See how an authoritarian movement can fragment, reproduce its leadership and survive the physical removal of its most visible figure and turn a common convicted predator into a martyr.

  • Murder Charges Thrown Out After Jail Torture Scandal | Profiling Evil

    Three men stood accused of first-degree murder in the execution-style shooting of a man in Oakville, Ontario. Then an Ontario judge threw the whole case out, and the reason had nothing to do with the evidence against the accused men, but it did have everything to do with the correctional staff abuses caused to them and nearly 200 inmates at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex in December of 2023. This is a story of how vengeance inside a jail destroyed a murder prosecution, and what it cost the victims' families and the $30 million dollar class action suit that followed.

  • Who Protected Sandra Birchmore? The Matthew Farwell Murder Trial | Profiling Evil

    Today I sit down with my friend Michele McPhee, a journalist who has been following the Sandra Birchmore case since before it became national news and has spent the last two weeks inside the federal courtroom in Boston, watching the murder trial of former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell, who is accused of killing 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore and causing the death of her unborn child and has pleaded not guilty. Michele shares what has stuck with her most, from the grooming allegations that began when Sandra joined the Stoughton Police Explorers program at 13, to a death scene labeled a suicide within minutes, to her therapist's testimony that Sandra was making plans for her baby the day before she died, and we talk fairly about the defense suicide theory and the moments this week where it struggled. Let me know what you think in the comments, and please keep them constructive and respectful.

  • MAPPING EVIL Episode 3: How Predators Hunt Victims

    Episode three of Mapping Evil, recorded in Australia with Tori Shepherd, is all about location, location, location, and how sexual predators use it to isolate their victims. Mike starts with the four rapist categories, from power reassurance up to the anger excitation offender, the most dangerous of all.

    The main case is Michael Blake Jensen, a power assertive predator who hunted real estate agents. He shopped for victims using for sale signs carrying glamour shots of female agents, posed as a cash buyer and chose unoccupied homes. He was caught when one victim reported immediately, leading to a helicopter chase that ended with a police canine. Then Queensland, 1967: Mima McKim Hill, 21, vanished between Calliope and Biloela; her body was found 80 kilometers west near Collard Creek. Mike maps the three crime scenes and tests how a broken-down truck, possibly Erik Johan Seifers', could explain the geography.

    He closes by contrasting Jensen, the careful strategist, with the opportunistic predator, and talks plainly about the victim risk continuum and the small daily decisions that raise or lower our risk.

  • Beaten in Bed, Shot on Kalar Road, Bludgeoned in Welland. Niagara's Cold Cases | Profiling Evil

    Three men. Three murders. Decades without answers. I’m in the Niagara Falls region of Canada where I just finished one of our Psychology of Cults speaking tour stops last night. Yesterday, I swung by the Niagara Falls Regional Police building across from the famous falls and hung around, studying three cold cases that have haunted this region for decades. A man, beaten to death in his own bed nearby. Another shot on a road a short distance away and the disturbing murder of a retired teacher who was beaten to death in his Welland home. I wanted to share these crime stories before I head out on my way to tonight’s show in Milton, Ontario.
