Profiling Evil

Dig into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from Tucson, Arizona. Would this case be getting this much attention if her daughter #SavannahGuthrie wasn’t famous? Walk through the investigative timeline from the Uber ride to a family dinner, to the garage door closing upon her return. Then, let’s explore a cluster of events from a doorbell camera disconnect, the “person detected” alert with no saved footage, and the pacemaker app disconnect, and explore what the porch blood means scientifically, what “camera offline” really implies, and how offender psychology changes depending on whether the porch was a contact point or an exit point.

I’m driving just east of Wendover, Nevada near the Bonneville Salt Flats. Two days on the road through wide-open country that has swallowed lives and truths. I’m starting near where Dylan Rounds was murdered and now making my way into West Wendover, where 16-year-old Micaela “Mickey” Costanzo disappeared after track practice. She was later found in a shallow grave out on the outskirts of town. It’s a place where people think the area’s too small for something like this. The story ultimately destroyed three families. She was murdered by her childhood friend and his new lover, and the case still leaves people arguing about motive, control, jealousy, and what “the truth” really is. Both convicted killers are still telling different stories.

Today I spent time watching the Paul Caneiro murder trial on Court TV, and after sitting with the testimony and the way this case is being presented, I want to share a few thoughts with you. This isn’t about declaring guilt or innocence as much as how we can understand how jurors actually think and why some cases, even very strong ones, struggle to reach a unanimous verdict. What type of juror is most likely to hang this case, where reasonable doubt can quietly live, and why does the State’s narrative, while powerful, still depends on jurors accepting a very specific sequence of events?

Episode 1 - A pristine neighborhood in Ogden, Utah hides something rotten. When a couple moves into Northwood subdivision in 1981, they’re welcomed with free landscaping, shared supplies, and a sense of family - until the community’s leader, Arvin Shreeve, reveals a secret doctrine of polygamy and sexual manipulation.

Nearly a decade later, on July 9, 1991, a woman walks into the Weber County Attorney’s Office and confesses to detective Mike King that she was part of the Zion Society, a cult she says was abusing children.

If you assume everything both sides said in closing is true, the prosecution is in the stronger position, and Brendan Banfield is more likely than not to be found guilty. The reason isn’t emotional; I’m basing it on the state’s single explanation that accounts for all of the evidence. The defense spent way too much time in my opinion pointing out why individual pieces might be questioned, and while that may slow the jury down, it won’t replace the prosecution’s theory with a workable alternative.

 Even taking the defense at its best, the jury is still left with one unavoidable question: if Brendan didn’t do this, how did the scene end up the way it did? Scene staging, blood transfers and timing gaps don’t explain themselves. Once jurors accept that someone manipulated the crime scene after the killings handled, the focus narrows. This case will be decided on whether the physical and behavioral evidence makes sense. Whether they believe the testimony of the only person in the room with Brendan Banfield that survived and if the jury trusts the forensics.

The Brendan Banfield murder trial is now officially in jury watch. Will the 90-minute argument by the defense overpower the 20-minute reminder given by the prosecutor? You can watch the entire arguments at the end of this video if you’d like.

Newly unsealed search warrants are revealing disturbing new details in the Saratoga Springs homicide investigation involving Jessica Lyman and her 8-year-old son Eli Painter. Let’s walk through what police documents actually show about the investigation conducted by the Saratoga Springs Police Department, including forensic evidence, surveillance video, digital records, handwritten notes, and signs of sexual assault. This newly released information confirms that investigators are focusing inward, not outward. It’s not rumor or speculation, it’s what the documents tell us.

In this Feedback Friday field trip, I take you directly into the heart of Short Creek, known today as Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona. It once was the historic stronghold of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the FLDS. This is the community built around plural marriage, prophetic control, and absolute obedience, led for decades by self-proclaimed prophet Warren Jeffs, now serving life in a Texas prison for sexually assaulting young girls. As we drive through the streets of this once-sealed polygamist enclave, we stop at key locations that defined FLDS power: the massive compound built by Warren Jeffs’ father Rulon Jeffs to house eighty-seven wives, the offices where obedience was enforced, and the meeting house where men were stripped of their families from the pulpit. 

You’ll see where Jeffs escaped federal arrest, how the United Effort Plan centralized wealth and control, and how law enforcement was sidelined by church authority. We’ll revisit the scars of history, including the infamous 1953 Short Creek Raid, the infant cemetery that still haunts investigators, and the burial grounds reserved only for the faithful. Along the way, we talk about secret police, hidden caves, the collapse of the FLDS corporate structure, and the uneasy reality that Warren Jeffs still exerts influence from behind prison walls.

In this special bonus episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with producer Aaron Mason to go behind the scenes of Gardens of Evil: Inside the Zion Society Cult. This is a rare look at how one of the darkest and most complex cult investigations I’ve ever worked came together as an audio series. We discuss what surprised Aaron most when he first stepped into the Zion Society world, how survivor voices shaped the narrative, and the creative decisions that defined this series. This episode pulls back the curtain on the storytelling itself—and why telling this story the right way mattered. Gardens of Evil: Inside the Zion Society Cult premieres February 3 as Season 5 of American Nightmares under the Gamut Podcast Network.

Four lives were lost in the early morning darkness of Colts Neck, New Jersey. Keith Caneiro and his wife Jennifer… along with their eleven-year-old son Jesse and their eight-year-old daughter Sophia died inside their own home. But this case isn’t just about what happened inside that house. Hours earlier, flames were already rising at another Caneiro residence miles away. As investigators peeled back the layers, they began to question whether this family was targeted and could it be even more intimate. Now, Paul Caneiro, the victims’ own brother and uncle, stands trial for the murder of four people and prosecutors are laying out a chilling story of greed, deception, and desperation. The defense is arguing Paul is the victim of a botched investigation, tunnel-vision and assumptions, rather than proof. Who killed the Caneiro’s? And the answer to that question may determine everything.

Day six of testimony in the Brendan Banfield murder trial wasn’t about theatrics, it was about how this case was built, how investigators handled competing theories, and how leadership drew a hard line between collecting digital evidence and over-interpreting it. The defense tried to turn digital forensics into doubt, leaning hard on a simple idea: you can’t always tell who’s behind the screen. And that sounds persuasive… until you remember what trials are actually decided on: the totality of the evidence, the blood evidence, timelines, behavior, opportunity, contradictions, and corroboration. A police commander pulled no punches explaining why a digital forensics detective was removed from major-crimes digital work: not because the extraction steps were botched, but because leadership believed the detective was making “unsubstantiated deductions”, reading conclusions into data that the science alone couldn’t support. And just as important: a lot of the “transfers” the defense tried to make look suspicious sounded like what they often are in big agencies, routine, normal rotations, or career moves, not purging people for failing to follow a preconceived theory.
