True Crime Cases with Lanie

Welcome to another episode of True Crime Cases with Lanie. Today, we have a special episode featuring the podcast Diagnosing A Killer. If you’re passionate about true crime and mental health, you’re in for an insightful and thought-provoking journey. Diagnosing A Killer is hosted by two sisters, Koelle and Kenna, who delve deep into the stories of killers who struggle with mental illness and disorders. Koelle is a true crime junkie and mental health advocate pursuing a career in forensic science, while Kenna has a degree in Psychology and works in the behavioral health field. Together, they break the stigma around mental health by exploring brutal crimes and the complex individuals behind them.

In today’s episode, Koelle and Kenna tackle one of the most infamous school shootings in history: the Columbine High School massacre. Join us as we explore the tragic events of that day, the psychological profiles of the perpetrators, and the lasting impact on survivors and the community.

Episode Description: In this gripping episode, Koelle and Kenna of Diagnosing A Killer take us through the harrowing events of the Columbine High School shooting. On April 20, 1999, two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, carried out a meticulously planned attack that left 13 dead and 24 injured before they turned their guns on themselves. This episode dives deep into the psychological profiles of Harris and Klebold, exploring their backgrounds, possible mental health issues, and the warning signs that were overlooked.

The post Quick Updates [TL; DL in Show Notes!] first appeared on True Crime Cases w. Lanie.

Social media platforms are designed to be addictive, and one far too common side effect of this is that many young people spend hours scrolling through their feeds, comparing themselves to others, and feeling inadequate. Conversely, though, social media sites also give individuals with narcissistic personality traits a chance to keep the focus of their profile’s content specifically on themselves. That is, showing themselves off in the most positive and enviable light possible.

The post The Tiktok Murders: Mahek and Ansreen Bukhari first appeared on True Crime Cases w. Lanie.

The phrase “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” is an idiom that dates back several centuries. Its origins can be traced to the 16th century, although the exact phrase has evolved over time. Originally, the phrase appeared in different forms, such as “you can’t eat your cake and have it” or “you can’t have your cake and eat it.” The basic meaning has always been the same: once you consume or use something, you no longer have it to show off to others, removing the possibility of having everything exactly as one wants. 

Content Warnings: infidelity, murder

The post  Ezra McCandless first appeared on True Crime Cases w. Lanie.

In 2020, the FBI had a shocking admission to make regarding the homicide clearance rates of police investigations across America. That year, they hit a record low, plummeting to under 50%, and it hasn’t bounced back since. This means that roughly half of all murders remain unsolved—an unsettling statistic, especially given the current surge in murders and violent crimes.
Content Warnings: unsolved cases, murder of a trans woman

The post The Case of Joan D’Alessandro first appeared on True Crime Cases w. Lanie.

Rarely do I encounter cases where the veracity of facts is so hotly contested that I find myself wavering in my stance. Typically, my research journey leads me through a maze of articles, books, and newspaper reports, where minor discrepancies may arise regarding details. Yet, a cohesive narrative of agreed-upon facts generally emerges.

The post The Case of John Bodkin Adams first appeared on True Crime Cases w. Lanie.

If you’ve been immersed in the true crime world for some time, you’re likely aware of the unfortunate reality that perpetrators of violent crime disproportionately target specific groups in our society. Women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, drug users, and sex workers often find themselves facing violence at alarmingly higher rates than the general population. Tragically, the more these factors apply to an individual, the greater their vulnerability becomes to the darkest elements of society.

Thanks to Skip Hollandsworth of Texas Monthly, whose extensive coverage of this case made today’s episode possible.
