Ten years later, American Nightmares: 22 Hours, A Second Look unearths new reporting, personal reflections, rare interviews, and unanswered questions surrounding the brutal home invasion, kidnapping, and murders of Savvas and Amy Savopoulos, their young son Philip, and housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa.

What happens when a head of state is no longer treated as a political actor, but as a criminal defendant? In this episode of Profiling Evil, we walk through why U.S. federal prosecutors placed Nicolás Maduro in the same legal category as Manuel Noriega, and why comparisons to El Chapo often miss the mark. This video is not about whether the United States should act, it’s about what actually happened, why these legal decisions were made, and how behavior, power, and entitlement shape the downfall of criminalized leaders. We’ll explore how Noriega lost political immunity and why El Chapo is not the same as a dictator branded a criminal. Did these leaders misjudge their immunity? Let’s examine the behaviors, the legal history, and true crime without politics.

When Ashlee Buzzard stood in court and entered a not guilty plea, outrage followed almost instantly. For many watching from the outside, especially in a case involving the death of a child, that moment felt unbearable. How could someone who’s been accused of something so horrific not plead guilty? We’ve seen this same reaction play out repeatedly, not just in the Buzzard case, but in other emotionally charged prosecutions like the Rob and Michelle Reiner homicide and the Daybell murders, cases where the severity of the crime collides head-on with the realities of constitutional process.
Let’s explore why guilty pleas almost never happen at the arraignment, why that moment in court is procedural and not moral, and then, why demanding speed in cases like this often undermines the very justice people are asking for. Profiling Evil breaks down how life sentences actually work in the United States and why “life without parole” doesn’t always mean what people think it means. How does the United States compare to the rest of the world when it comes to permanent punishment, are we an outlier, and what does all of this mean for victims, families, and a justice system trying to balance accountability with constitutional limits? This video is not about sympathy. It’s about understanding the system we rely on to speak for the dead.

A Georgia teenager is sitting in jail without bond, accused of murdering her mother and stepfather as her 5-year-old sister slept down the hall. Prosecutors say 17-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick left behind “mountains of evidence” in her digital footprint. Supporters insist that Sarah Grace Patrick is a gentle, churchgoing kid who couldn’t hurt anyone. Let’s examine the killings of Kristin Brock and James Brock, the disturbing crime scene inside their Carrollton home, the online behavior investigators are scrutinizing and why Georgia made the rare decision to charge a 17-year-old as an adult, and how a grand jury moved this case toward trial. What’s the psychology behind Sarah’s behavior, the danger of misreading grief, and the unsettling truth that for some offenders, violence can feel not traumatic — but exhilarating.

This video/podcast focuses on the Camila Mendoza Olmos case from the ground up, anchored by what has been publicly reported by investigators and credible local and national outlets. The 19-year-old woman vanished on Christmas Eve after leaving home on foot. Over the next six days, the search expanded, drawing in law enforcement, federal partners, organized volunteer teams, drones, and K-9 resources. A key development came from dashcam video that appeared to show a person believed to be Camila walking near a roadway shortly after she was last seen on home surveillance. Her father emphatically denies it’s his daughter but days later, deputies and FBI agents located human remains and a firearm in tall grass only a few hundred yards from her home.
We’re getting that update in real time, because Sheriff Javier Salazar came out within the last half hour in a hastily called press conference and confirmed that a body has been found during the search. He also made it clear that it’s still too early to say definitively that the body is Camila—he stressed that the Medical Examiner will make the final identification, and that could take days, possibly even a week. At this point, the sheriff said he does not suspect foul play, but the scene is still being processed carefully, because that’s how you protect evidence and get the truth. Examine the behavioral reality of how a person in crisis can appear calm or even briefly “better” when internal conflict gives way to a final decision. We’ll explore why investigators pay attention to routines like her walking habits, and those digital breadcrumbs that may have prompted the return to the location she was discovered. We’ll also address a common misconception about suicide by firearms where national data now shows more women might be turning to guns in their final moments.

A serial killer patrolled the waterways of coastal Virginia for over a decade, killing at least four people, and new DNA evidence has tied the cases together. Investigators say a commercial fisherman named Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. (Pokey) is the serial killer who murdered 20-year-old David Knobling, Robin Edwards who was just 14-years old, 18-year-old Lori Ann Powell and 18-year-old Teresa Lynn Spaw Howell. They were all found in or near the waterways that Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. treated as his second home. Two were shot along the shoreline at Ragged Island Wildlife Refuge, another stabbed and dumped in the Elizabeth River near Craney Island and a young woman abducted from a Hampton nightclub. She was strangled and left alongside a roadway near a marina. Let’s examine what these victims had in common and how Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. exploited his hunting grounds. Will new DNA testing reveal more victims of Alan Wade Wilmer Sr.?

One week before the near-death hike that permanently scarred Micah Smith’s children, police contacted Micah Smith alongside a roadway in a lifted white GMC with no plates, no registration, no insurance, and bald tires in cold rainy weather. The encounter escalates quickly as Micah Smith resists basic identification, and officers discover there are multiple weapons inside the vehicle. Smith reveals his obsession with hiking and going “to the top of the mountain” despite warnings about snow and conditions and reveals his marriage is falling apart. Did we just learn what might have motivated his reckless hike with his children? Let’s walk through the traffic stop, the bizarre behavior and the RED FLAGS that screamed of minimization, bravado, grievance, control, and a fixation on the mountains just days before his children ended up in the hospital and he ended up in jail.

In the wake of the tragic killing of Rob and Michele Reiner, new media reports are adding detail to how their son, Nick Reiner, behaved after the murders, what investigators allege about his post-crime choices, and how those behaviors intersect with claims of schizophrenia and substance history. Let’s explore Reiner’s documented actions like checking into a hotel, avoiding immediate contact with police, and how these decisions, when combined with established legal observations may suggest awareness and a decision to evade responsibility. What’s the broader context of mental health and addiction and what are media outlets reporting on those issues. Finally, how do they, or how do they not explain the choice to commit a double homicide.

In 1998, 50-year-old nurse and hospital administrator Sherry Crandell was raped and murdered inside her office at Prince George’s Hospital Center — a place she should have been safe. Despite DNA, fingerprints, and even an eyewitness, the case stalled for almost 30 years.
In this episode, I sit down with investigative journalist Paul Wagner, host of American Nightmares: Murder in a Safe Place, to break down the crime that shook Cheverly, Maryland. We explore the original investigation, the controversial DNA dragnet inside the hospital, and the relentless work of a retired detective who refused to let this case die.
Most importantly, we look at how investigative genetic genealogy finally identified Edward Barry Watts — also known as Baari Shabazz — as the man who murdered Sherry Crandell in 2025. Paul’s reporting played a major role in keeping attention on this cold case, and today we talk about what this long-awaited breakthrough means for Sherry’s family and for the future of genetic genealogy in solving violent crimes.
If you follow cold cases, genealogy-based investigations, or behind-the-scenes reporting from the people who never quit, this conversation will take you deeper than the headlines ever did.

The investigation into the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner has taken a decisive turn, with prosecutors now filing murder charges and a special allegation involving the personal use of a knife. In this episode, we walk through the latest updates from LAPD, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, and the District Attorney’s Office, while examining how family stress, long-standing addiction issues, and holiday pressure can quietly escalate into irreversible violence. This is what we know so far — and why this case matters far beyond Rob Reiner and the Reiner family. Mike joins Law and Crime.
