The Devils’s Details
In this episode, Goldy Locks teams up with her father, veteran parole officer Henry Peter, to rip the lid off true crime from both sides of the system. They break down real cases, unpack the psychology behind criminal behavior, and expose the warped thinking that fuels it. Nothing is sugar-coated. Nothing is off limits.
But it’s not all darkness. With razor-sharp wit and a little gallows humor, they share unbelievable “stupid criminal” stories that prove delusion and impulsive decisions are often a criminal’s downfall. Beneath the laughs is a serious message: stay aware, trust your instincts, and understand that evil doesn’t always look the way you think it does. In a world full of strange behavior and bad choices, knowledge is power — and safety starts with paying attention.
