We’re talking Utah v. Kouri Richins. I’m going to walk you through what stood out since my last video along with some of the strong wins by the defense and prosecution. Personally, I found the testimony of Richins boyfriend especially compelling and I’m going to chat with Attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries for his take on where this case is headed.

In this episode, I sit down with Bob Motta II, Illinois criminal defense attorney and host of Defense Diaries, to talk about Buried: Inside the John Wayne Gacy Investigation. We’re diving into one of the most infamous serial killer cases in American history. Bob is the son of John Wayne Gacy’s defense attorney. After Gacy passed away, Bob gained access to never-before-heard recordings, documents, and case materials that had remained buried for decades. In this conversation we’ll talk about the investigation, conviction and the secrets that are now being exposed. This isn’t another retelling of the “Killer Clown” myth. It’s a sober, evidence-driven discussion about Gacy and the systems that failed to stop him sooner.

In big cases like the Nancy Guthrie investigation in Tucson, the story unfolds in two places at once, on the street where detectives are grinding through evidence, and online where theories spread fast and loud. In this episode, Mike King sits down with retired LAPD Captain Paul Vernon, a longtime Compstat and Real Time Crime Center leader, to talk through what online creators, “citizen detectives,” and even mainstream media can unintentionally do to witnesses, juries, tip lines, and the pace of an investigation. This is a practical conversation for true crime fans who want to follow cases responsibly, without getting played by rumor, rage-bait, or ransom theater.

This week for Feedback Friday, we’re going to the Utah Arizona line to talk about Pipe Spring National Monument, also known as Winsor Castle, a place that looks peaceful today but has a real crime history tied to killings, retaliation, forced displacement, and hiding from law enforcement. Then we’ll bring that same lens back to Utah and the first days of the Kouri Richins murder trial, where prosecutors say money and control were the resource, and the defense says the story is being misread. We’ll walk the fort, the victims, and the behavior, then I’ll hit the biggest testimony moments so far and what to watch for next. Then, #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries joins to discuss
the trial. #PipeSpring #WinsorCastle #Arizona #Utah #Fredonia #Kaibab #Paiute #OldWest #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimePodcast #TrueCrime #CrimeTok #CourtTV #MurderTrial #Poisoning #Fentanyl #MoscowMule #KouriRichins #EricRichins #RichinsTrial #Kamas #ParkCity #SummitCounty #Investigations #ColdCase #CriminalBehavior #Forensic #911 #Bodycam #MedicalExaminer #FirstResponders #Justice #History

Day 24. Nancy Guthrie’s family is still living in the worst kind of limbo, the not knowing. Today, Savannah Guthrie shared another plea, asking for basic decency and compassion, and for someone to finally tell the family where Nancy is so they can bring her home. The family is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery, and they’re also donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to help other families facing this same nightmare.
After we play Savannah’s message, we’re going to talk about what her words tell us about grief, hope, and the psychology of uncertainty. Then we’ll tackle the last 24-hour wave of articles and posts claiming anonymous “sources” say law enforcement images prove the suspect approached the home on different days. That might be true, but it has not been supported publicly with timestamps or on-the-record confirmation. In this video, we separate possibility from probability, and we talk about why responsible reporting matters when a family is begging for answers.

For years, the story of Jeffrey Epstein has been shaped by leaks, speculation, and carefully timed disclosures. Now, with massive new volumes of Epstein-related files released into the public domain, the promise was transparency. What we’re getting instead is an overload of information. I’m sitting down with Ed Opperman, host of The Opperman Report for his first-hand view. We’re going to talk about #GhislaineMaxwell, #DonaldTrump, #BillClinton, #RudyGiuliani and others who continue to surface in the discussions. Will then dig into whether #Epstein really died in that #NewYork jail cell. The truth in these kinds of cases usually comes in fragments, contradictions, and uncomfortable questions. Let’s ask them.

A glove in the desert that “looks” like it has blood on it, plus a droplet-like stain on a rock, is the kind of detail that makes the internet sprint ahead of the facts. In the Nancy Guthrie case, that sprint is already complicating real work in a real neighborhood. Tonight I’m going to walk through what was reportedly found, what we still don’t know, and why restraint matters when we’re only seeing a tiny slice of the case file.

Nancy Guthrie has been missing since January 31, and investigators believe she was abducted from her Tucson home in the early hours of February 1. The reward is now over $200,000 thanks to private donors, the sheriff says he believes she’s still nearby, and the FBI is clearly running border coordination protocols even while officials say there’s no evidence she was taken into Mexico. Let’s talk about how public messaging can help or hurt a case, why the “FBI vs Sheriff” narrative is distracting even if the working teams are still collaborating and what some people are saying about the negative impact social media is playing in the case. Why is TMZ finally saying they aren’t going to share anything else the supposed kidnappers are telling them.

Let’s walk through three important considerations in the Ashley Flynn murder case where her husband is now accused of pulling the trigger – twice! Why did this targeted attack focus on the inner circle first of this low-risk, highly respected woman. How does geography and mapping help collapse a random burglary scenario and why do communities often struggle accepting that the “great guy” next door, or the fellow parishioner in our church, might be a predator?

From the publisher's feed
The Profiling Evil Podcast delves into unsolved criminal cases from around the world, peeling back the layers of human behavior to reveal what drives evil. We look into…
Your host, Mike King, brings over four decades of experience in criminal justice and behavioral analysis. A retired law enforcement executive, Mike served as Chief of Staff to Utah Attorney General Jan Graham and Weber County Attorney Reed M. Richards. He began his career at the Ogden Police Department, where he worked patrol, motor enforcement, and SWAT before moving into investigations where he led task forces that hunted serial predators and violent offenders.
Mike’s expertise earned him national recognition. He served as co-chair of the FBI’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) National Advisory Board, directed UTAP, the Utah Criminal Tracking and Analysis Project, and supported intelligence operations during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.
After retiring from public service, Mike joined the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), where he spent years consulting with police agencies around the globe on intelligence gathering, emergency communications, and major event management. In 2024, he retired again, this time to focus full-time on Profiling Evil and its growing community of true crime investigators, students, and enthusiasts.
Mike is an internationally recognized speaker, trainer, and adjunct professor, as well as a visiting scholar at multiple universities. He’s authored several acclaimed works on crime and human behavior, including:
· Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing
· Deceived: An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult
· She Knew No Fear
· Who Killed King Tut?
· Predators: Who Are They and How Do We Stop Them?
· Profilers
Mike’s investigative insight and behavioral expertise have been featured on Court TV, NewsNation, Law & Crime Network, Dr. Phil, History’s Greatest Mysteries, and 60 Minutes Australia, where his calm, analytical style helps audiences understand the why behind the world’s most chilling crimes.
At @ProfilingEvil, you’ll find deep dives into real investigations, expert analysis of offender behavior, and lessons in situational awareness and safety. It’s more than storytelling, it’s about learning how to recognize, understand, and ultimately disrupt evil.
