Profiling Evil

Chad Daybell said his “Letters from Chad” project would finally tell the truth about the murders of JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Daybell. Ten letters later, he’s paused the series and nothing has changed. In this Profiling Evil breakdown, Mike King walks letter by letter through Daybell’s self-serving narrative, using “The Ten Failed Commandments” to show how each installment dodges responsibility, rewrites history, and tries to re-cast a convicted murderer as a misunderstood prophet. This isn’t about giving Chad Daybell more oxygen — it’s about centering the victims: JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, Tammy Daybell, Charles Vallow, and the survivors like Brandon Boudreaux and Colby Ryan. From near-death experience stories to eclipse mysticism to his “final” Letter #10, we’ll examine how fantasy, narcissism, and religious manipulation collide — and why the chain he forged in life is still clanking loudly on death row. At the end, I’ll also provide a short update on where Lori Daybell’s case sits at this time.

While filming a new documentary in Los Angeles, a story from Japan caught my attention and I keep thinking about it. It's the story of 20-year-old Auburn University student James "Weston" Higginbotham, a young man who disappeared during a family trip to Japan and was later found deceased after an extensive search in the mountains outside Kyoto. This isn't a video about assigning blame or creating theories unsupported by evidence. It's a discussion about victimology, missing person investigations, GIS technology, volunteer search efforts, emotional distress, mental health awareness, and the painful reality that families are often left carrying questions that may never be fully answered.

We'll examine what is publicly known about Weston, why this case resonates with so many people, what investigators can learn from the search effort, and why loved ones should never carry the burden of believing they could have controlled another person's choices.

When survivors begin talking about abuse years later, the story often does not come out in a clean timeline. It can come back through sensory details, body reactions, fragmented memories, and moments that leave spouses, families, and even investigators struggling to understand what they are hearing. In this episode, Mike King sits down with Dr. Judy Ho to unpack what trauma can do to memory, why triggers feel so physical, why disclosure can unfold in pieces, and how well-meaning loved ones sometimes contaminate the process by pressing too hard or asking the wrong kinds of questions. This is a conversation about real-world survivor behavior, the emotional strain on spouses, and the criminal justice challenge of trying to seek truth without turning disclosure into suggestion. If you follow true crime, work around victims, or love someone who is finally starting to talk about trauma, this episode will help you make better sense of what you’re seeing.

Seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro was reported missing in August 2025 after his mother, Rebecca Haro, claimed he had been kidnapped during a diaper change in a Yucaipa parking lot. That story triggered a community search, media coverage, and public fear. But investigators later said the kidnapping story did not hold up.

Emmanuel’s father, Jake Haro, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, assault on a child under eight causing death, and filing a false police report. He was sentenced on November 3, 2025, to 25 years to life, with additional time tied to other offenses. Rebecca Haro just pleaded guilty to felony child abuse causing great bodily injury to a child under five, involuntary manslaughter, and accessory after the fact. She was sentenced to 12 years and 8 months in state prison. Emmanuel’s body has still not been recovered.

I’m recording this short video from CrimeCon because this case has really troubled me. The courts got guilty pleas and Sentences were imposed. But the one thing Emmanuel still has not received is the dignity of being found, recovered, and properly laid to rest. This episode is not about rage for rage’s sake. It’s about accountability. It’s about child protection. It’s about what happens when a child disappears, the public is pulled into a false story, and the justice system closes cases while a baby remains hidden.

What does control actually look like when you strip away the labels and get down to behavior? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Hassan to talk about the BITE Model, one of the most practical frameworks for understanding how controlling people, high-demand groups, and manipulative systems gain influence over others. Dr. Hassan draws from his own experience of being recruited into the Unification Church, often referred to as the Mooney’s cult, and explains how the work of psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton helped him understand what had happened to him. From there, he breaks down the four parts of the BITE Model, Behavior, Information, Thought, and Emotional control, and explains how these methods can slowly override independent thinking and trap people in unhealthy systems.

This conversation goes beyond cults. It helps us think through coercive control in families, relationships, organizations, religious groups, and other environments where power gets used to dominate rather than serve. If you’ve ever asked yourself how intelligent, capable people can get pulled into harmful systems, this interview gives you a clear, grounded place to start. Watch all the way through, because Dr. Hassan also explains how people can begin to test what they’ve been told, step back from controlling influence, and start reclaiming their freedom.

Barry Morphew is preparing to stand trial for the alleged murder of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, whose disappearance on Mother’s Day weekend in 2020 became one of Colorado’s most watched criminal investigations. The first prosecution was dismissed in 2022, but after Suzanne’s remains were found in 2023, prosecutors brought a new first-degree murder indictment in 2025. Barry Morphew has pleaded not guilty, and the trial is scheduled to begin October 13, 2026, with proceedings expected to last up to six weeks.

In this episode, we break down a defense motion asking the court to exclude what it calls “so-called victimology testimony.” The motion argues that labels like “victimology,” “pattern of life,” “behavioral analysis,” and “profiling” risk turning investigative context into unfair courtroom testimony. The prosecution is likely to see this same evidence as critical context for Suzanne’s life, her routines, her relationship, her communications, and the circumstances around her disappearance. Let’s examine why behavior matters in homicide investigations, why prosecutors want it included and defense attorneys see it as dangerous.

The South Carolina Supreme Court has reversed Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions and ordered a new trial, but this decision does not declare Murdaugh innocent, and it doesn’t erase the evidence presented at trial. What it does say is that the jury process was contaminated by improper influence from Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. What a horrible consequence of bad choices. Let’s break down the Court’s ruling point by point as I look at what Hill allegedly said to jurors, why the Court applied the Remmer presumption of prejudice, why the State failed to overcome that presumption, and what the Court said about using Murdaugh’s financial crimes as motive evidence in a second trial. This is still a case about murder, money, power, courtroom procedure, and public trust. But more than anything, this ruling is a reminder that even the most hated defendant is still entitled to a fair trial.

I’m still on vacation, but I can’t drive through Europe without noticing the crime stories hiding in plain sight. In this final segment of this European Roadtrip, I travel through Strasbourg, Luxembourg, Paris, and Antwerp, digging into some of the most consequential crimes tied to this route. We’re talking about the Strasbourg Christmas market attack and the Bridge of the Butchers, Luxembourg’s (Bomb-uh-layer) bombings, the November 2015 Paris attacks, and the Antwerp diamond heist.

It’s a quick trip from local mid-evil justice on the banks of the river to terrorism, organized theft and the quiet ways offenders study vulnerability. Crowds, routine, access, timing, distraction, all of it matters. And while these cases are very different, they all teach us something about how criminals think, how systems get tested, and what modern travelers can still do to stay alert without giving in to fear. So yes, I’m technically on holiday, but crime doesn’t take vacations, and neither does my curiosity.

I’m standing at a remote rest stop in eastern Nevada, south of Ely where a 1974 stopover became the crime scene of yet another victim of serial killer Paul John Knowles, also known as The Casanova Killer. This episode examines how Knowles used mobility as a weapon, why rest stops and highways became part of his hunting strategy, and how his victim selection evolved as his confidence grew and his mistakes mounted. This isn’t just a story about a serial killer. It’s a story about movement, vulnerability, and how ordinary places can become dangerous when a predator intersects with routine. If you care about true crime as understanding and not a spectacle, this episode is for you.

I’m continuing my true crime travels through Europe, this time through Baden-Baden, the Black Forest, Triberg and Freiburg. These are some of the most beautiful places you can visit in Germany, but each one carries a darker story beneath the scenery. In Baden-Baden, we look at the witch trials of 1627 to 1631, when fear, religion, politics and forced confessions helped turn accusation into execution. In the Black Forest and Triberg, we talk about Heinrich Pommerenke, the violent West German serial offender known as the “Beast of the Black Forest,” whose 1959 crimes showed how predators can use roads, railways, stations and public spaces to move across a region. Then in Freiburg, we examine the 2016 murder of 19-year-old medical student Maria Ladenburger, a case built through careful police work, DNA, transit surveillance and phone data.

We’re talking more than just crime cases. We’ll dig into evidence, fear, geography, victimology and the way beautiful places disguise criminal horror stories. How justice systems can replace proof with panic or how offenders move discretely through ordinary spaces and how good investigations come together one fact at a time.
