If you are curious about the ‘who dunnit’ and the ‘why dunnit’ and how and why victims become footnotes in their own murders, Crime Analyst is for you. Hosted by world renowned and award-winning Criminal Behavioural Analyst Laura Richards.
Laura interviews living legend Professor Ann Burgess who assessed Erik Menendez and was one of the expert witnesses called by the defense in the 1993 trial. Laura asks Ann about her pioneering work, how she became involved in the Menendez case and what she discovered when she interviewed Erik. Laura and Ann also discuss the timeline and in particular the days leading up to the murders as well as the crime scene behaviour. You will not want to miss this. Listener discretion is advised. Professor Burgess is an internationally recognized pioneer in the assessment and treatment of victims of trauma and abuse, and author of A Killer by Design: Murderers, Mindhunters, and My Quest to Decipher the Criminal Mind, Rape Investigation and Crime Classification. She has received numerous honours and awards for her work and her courtroom testimony has been described as “groundbreaking,” and she has been called a “nursing pathfinder.” Professor Burgess and Lynda Lytle Holmstrom conducted the first study of rape victims and trauma, and that work caught the attention of the FBI which is depicted in the Netflix show Mindhunter (Dr Wendy Carr). It would later inform Laura’s work at New Scotland Yard.

Laura continues her fascinating interview with Hazel Thornton who was juror #9 at the first seven-month trial in 1993. Listener discretion is advised. In this episode you will hear more detail about the horrific, insidious, cruel, and torturous abuse Lyle and Erik were subjected to by Jose Menendez. Laura and Hazel discuss the multiple forms of abuse the boys were subjected to, including coercive control and the omnipresent threat Jose Menendez posed to Lyle and Erik. It’s also important to underline that the testimonies that Lyle and Erik gave about the abuse at the first trial was totally uncontradicted and uncontroverted evidence. The prosecution did not ask one single question about the abuse. Hazel shares the slew of sexist and misogynistic insults directed at the female jurors who believed the boys were abused and were in fear for the lives because they understood the evidence presented and the psychology of abuse. In May 2023 a habeas petition was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court detailing two new key pieces of evidence revealing that, contrary to what the prosecution said in their closing speech in the second trial that Jose Menendez was not only a violent, sadistic, and brutal man who sexually abused his own children, but that he was abusing other boys including Roy Roselló who was in the boy band, Menudo.

Laura continues to highlight and analyse key events in the macro timeline including Murdaugh’s public statement which he released via his lawyer, Dick Harpootlian, on September 6th stating that that he was stepping down from PMPED and was entering rehab for his opiate addiction. Laura examines the evidence to support Murdaugh’s claim of being a drug addict and that he lied due to his so-called ‘drug fuelled paranoia.’ Laura also analyses Murdaugh’s second statement that he made to SLED with his lawyers Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin present on September 13th about the September 4 so-called roadside shooting and compares it to Curtis Eddie Smith’s statement. Laura details the mounting financial charges against Murdaugh and his legal teams’ desperate attempts to control the narrative. You won’t want to miss this!

Laura continues to unravel the timeline including Murdaugh’s significant debt and borrowing, his horrific abuse of power and trust of vulnerable clients and so-called drug addiction. Pamela Pinckney, her son Hakeem Pinckney along with Alania Plyler Spohn and Hannah Plyler turned to Murdaugh at the very worst time in their lives. He used and exploited them, funnelling off money from their legal wins in addition to the money he earned from inflated legal fees and expenses. Laura shares what this behaviour reveals about Murdaugh’s psychology and how it relates to the motive for brutally killing Maggie and Paul and staging their murders as a revenge kill for the boat crash. Laura highlights the recent news in Mallory Beach’s family lawsuit settlement against Murdaugh and the store that sold Paul the alcohol the night he crashed the boat resulting in Mallory’s death. Join Laura as she breaks it all down.

Laura interviews Kerri Rawson, survivor, advocate, New York Times bestselling author and daughter of serial killer Dennis Rader, who gave himself a horrific moniker due to how he bound, tortured, and killed his victims. On Friday 14th July, 59-year-old husband and father of two, Rex Heuermann, was charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello and Megan Waterman. Their remains were discovered within a quarter of a mile of one another covered in burlap along Ocean Parkway on Long Island’s South Shore in 2010. Heuermann is also suspected of other murders including Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Kerri’s father Dennis Rader was 59, the president of the church, and married with two children when he was arrested in 2005. He was later charged with the murders of 10 people in Wichita and Park City, Kansas between 1974 and 1991. He is suspected of others. Rader centered himself in the Gilgo Beach Murders on Friday 21 July, writing a letter to Fox News Digital laying out similarities between himself and Rex Heuermann. Laura believes men like Rader and Heuermann hide in plain sight and are overlooked for similar reasons. Just like what’s happening with the Heuermann case right now, when Rader was arrested, his family, friends, and co-workers were shocked to discover that the serial killer police were hunting had been among them, going to work, raising his children, and acting ‘normal.’ But Laura doesn’t buy into that. She believes we are asking the wrong questions and that we must use the framework of coercive control and make the invisible visible. Whilst working at the FBI in Quantico, Laura continued her research and analysis into serial perpetrators, which included an in-depth case conference with the FBI profiler who played a pivotal role in Dennis Rader’s capture, interviewing Rader for more than 30 hours. One question Laura asked related to domestic abuse and control related behaviours. Laura was informed there was no abuse at home. Now, in this raw and honest interview, Laura finally gets to the bottom of what was really going on at home – and like with many cases, a very different picture emerges when we ask the right questions of the right people. Join Laura as she unravels the warning signs of how to identify serial killers far earlier. Everyone should listen to this episode – it might just save a life. Listener discretion is advised.

Laura continues to unravel the timeline and shares that, in addition to the boat crash case and PMPED’s COO and CFO Jeanne Seckinger’s confrontation with Murdaugh about the missing $792k missing legal fees on June 7th, there was another very serious investigation into Murdaugh’s behaviour and finances, which began before Maggie and Paul’s murders. Laura then details Gloria Satterfield’s troubling case and how a Judge signed off on a $4.3m settlement, which included $1.45m attorney fees and $105,000 prosecution expenses, which went to guess who? Gloria’s family knew nothing about this. One month before signing off on the settlement, that same Judge recused herself from the boat crash case due to her long-standing relationship with Murdaugh. In this episode, Laura also highlights first hand testimony from those who knew Murdaugh the best which helps develop the behavioural profile of Murdaugh and talks to motive. Join Laura as she breaks it all down.

In this episode Laura starts her deep dive into the Murdaugh family's timeline. In the family’s orbit, there are at least five dead bodies in six years, including Stephen Smith, Gloria Satterfield, Mallory Beach, and Maggie and Paul. However, Laura doesn't stop there. She takes a wide-angle lens approach to the case, tracing it back to the beginning of the Murdaugh family's reign of power and influence. This includes business partnerships with convicted drug traffickers and the suspicious death of a key federal witness just before he was due to give evidence. As Laura continues her analysis, she also examines the shifting dynamics between Murdaugh and two significant women in his life. Both women begin questioning him about money, refusing to play by his rules. Additionally, Laura delves into the boat crash that resulted in Mallory Beach's death and a lawyer who was not afraid to hold Murdaugh accountable and ensure justice for the Beach family at all costs. Overall, Laura's deep dive into the Murdaugh family's timeline is a shocking and eye-opening look at the dark side of power, control, and influence. Join Laura as she breaks it down.

Laura details and shares her thoughts and analysis on the micro timeline, including Murdaugh’s explanation for his sudden burst of activity - of his 283 steps in 4 minutes whilst making many phone calls. Laura discusses the curious missing calls from Murdaugh’s call log, and how, despite the call records showing his many calls to reach Maggie, his behaviour reveals he consciously avoided going to the kennels to speak with Maggie. Laura also gets into the 4820 data points that tracked Murdaugh’s Suburban that night and how he travelled on dark country roads at 80mph, whilst texting his lawyer friend. The data, when paired with Murdaugh’s behaviour, paint a powerful picture of events on June 7. Join Laura as she breaks it down.

Laura continues to analyse Alex Murdaugh’s third interview/ interrogation with SLED’s Special Agent David Owen and Senior Special Agent Jeff Croft on August 11, 2021 at Walterboro. Murdaugh’s good friend and lawyer Cory Fleming was by his side. Laura highlights Murdaugh’s reaction when caught in a lie, as well as a key tell when he’s lying. In the final one minute and twenty-six seconds of this interview Special Agent David Owen switched gears and directly asked Murdaugh if he killed Maggie and Paul.

AND…..Laura gives her two cents about the Harry and Meghan Netflix docuseries and Jeremy Clarkson’s vile, misogynistic rant, because you asked for it! This Christmas message turned into so much more!

Diana shares what happened at the trial including how she and her family were treated inside and outside court and how Jo was mischaracterised at court by Brown and others and how, left unchallenged, Diana believes it had a significant impact on the jury and the verdict. Listener discretion is advised. The graphic details of Jo’s death are discussed and you will hear Brown’s actual telephone call to Thames Valley Police after he brutally killed her.

Laura interviews Louise Godbold, a survivor of Harvey Weinstein who came forward in October 2017. By this time, Louise had already been a trauma specialist for nearly a decade and is the executive director of the non-profit Echo. Echo provides trauma and resilience training for families, communities and professionals and organizations.
We discuss the LA trial, which has received little media attention, including the tactics used by Weinstein’s defense team. We also breakdown the defense’s strategy and how it mirrors the perpetrator’s behaviour.
We spotlight the tired and worn-out narrative that women who disclose sexual abuse are liars and attention seekers who want fame and fortune and where these tropes come from. We also discuss why the term “accuser” should not be used for victims of sexual and domestic along with defense expert Elizabeth Loftus’ damaging ‘false memory’ narrative regarding trauma victims. There’s a lot at stake with this trial. Join us as we unpack all the latest on this case. Listener discretion is advised. We discuss sexual abuse in graphic detail.

Laura interviews Diana Parkes, Joanna’s mother and Hetti Nanton, Joanna’s best friend and chair of the national domestic violence charity, Refuge.
Joanna Simpson was brutally killed on October 31, 2010, by her ex-husband Robert Brown a British Airways pilot, one week before their divorce would be finalized at the High Court. Brown dropped the two children home. He took a claw hammer with him and bludgeoned Jo to death, hitting her at least 14 times.
At Brown’s trial, the court heard how he bundled the children into his car and wrapped Jo’s body in plastic sheeting he had brought with him along with a white overall suit. He placed her in the boot before driving to Windsor Park where he had already dug a grave and put down a makeshift coffin.
After nearly 15 hours of deliberation, the jury cleared Brown of murder. He was convicted for manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility and sentenced to 26 years, the maximum sentence allowed. He will be released after serving just 13 years in 2023.
Listen as we discuss the case, the events leading up to Jo being brutally killed, the details about how Jo was killed and what happened afterwards in terms of Brown’s post offence behaviour and the trial. We discuss the prosecution’s case and how the family were treated both inside and outside court.
Laura also shares critical insight about the case and Brown’s mindset, which she has seen repeatedly amongst men who kill their former or current partners. This insight is essential if we are to prevent murders in slow motion like Jo’s and effectively prosecute men like Brown.
Trigger warning: This case is upsetting, and it may be triggering. Listener discretion is advised. Let us know your thoughts on social media or via the Crime Analyst website.

In part 2 of Laura’s interview with award winning investigative journalist Nicki Weisensee Egan, Laura and Nicki discuss Bruce Castor’s decision not to prosecute Bill Cosby in 2005 and the non-prosecution agreement, which none of the prosecutors or police knew about, nor was it written down or signed off by a Judge.
Laura and Nicki talk about Cosby’s release from prison on the afternoon of 30th June 2021, following the decision that was made public in the morning and how a journalist had tipped off Cosby’s spokesman one week earlier that he would be released. Laura and Nicki also discuss the civil suits against Cosby. Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised.

Laura interviews award winning investigative journalist Nicki Weisensee Egan. For years Nicki was the one reporter who investigated Bill Cosby. Nicki documented her investigation in the book Chasing Cosby, which was the basis for her award winning podcast of the same name.
More than sixty women made allegations against Cosby across the years. In December 2015, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced it had filed an aggravated incident assault charge in Andrea Constand’s case. It took nearly three years and two trials to convict Cosby. He was sentenced to 3-10 years.
When Cosby was convicted in 2018, many considered the jury’s decision a landmark in the movement to hold alleged sexual predators accountable. However, in July 2021 Cosby’s conviction was vacated and he was discharged from prison. Laura and Nicki discuss how and why this happened and the latest in the case. You won’t want to miss this.
Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be upsetting and/or triggering and it will be angry making.

Laura continues her conversation with Tonia Bales, John Meehan’s first wife of 10 years. In part 2, Tonia details the night her world was shattered forever, when she accessed John’s hard drive and read all his emails he had sent to other women - and men. John had feelings for another man, and whilst Tonia was desperately trying to fix her marriage, John was proactively pursuing him and others.
We also discuss how John manipulated many people who were taken in by his charm and how they enabled John’s behaviour. Tonia’s case highlights how important it is to challenge the notion that an abuser’s parental right is more important than a child’s right to safety.
Tonia walks us back to her 23-year-old self and we unravel how Tonia was the perfect target for John, the red flags and what to look for to avoid a psychopath like Dirty John. You won’t want to miss this.
Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be upsetting and/or triggering and it will be angry making.

Laura interviews Tonia Bales, John Meehan’s first wife of 10 years about her life with John. Tonia had two daughter’s, Emily and Abigail, with John. Having listened to the podcast ‘Dirty John’ and watched scripted Bravo show of the same name and the documentary ‘Dirty John the Dirty Truth’ Tonia realized there was so much she did not know – and she and Laura wanted to go back and re-investigate John.
The re-investigation was documented in the eight-part investigative podcast, ‘The First Wife: John Meehan’s Reign of Terror’ (available only on Audible) and in this two-part series, Laura and Tonia go behind the scenes of the re-investigation and candidly debrief some of the astonishing revelations including one bombshell that has changed Tonia and her daughter’s lives forever.
Laura and Tonia also discuss how John tried to further control her using the Family Justice System, a system that seemed to back up and enable John at every turn, despite criminal investigations into John’s behaviour and him going to prison. You won’t want to miss this.

For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle’s face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end.
Then, in 2019, Jonelle’s remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jonelle’s disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.

For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle’s face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end.
Then, in 2019, Jonelle’s remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jonelle’s disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.

Laura shares her professional thoughts about why the conclusion makes little sense and why the recommendations will not create the change that’s urgently required to save the next Gabby’s life.

Laura continues to analyze the police report filed by Officer Pratt and Officer Robbins and the 99-page Moab City Police Investigative Review of the Police Stop was published on 12th January 2022.
Laura reveals that another witness came forward and stated Brian hit Gabby with a closed fist, as well as a number of bizarre revelations made by Officer Pratt on interview with Captain Ratcliffe. Laura also takes a deeper dive into the DV 101 Manual for Police and Prosecutors in Utah and what it lists regarding male and female factors as well as religious factors that contribute to domestic abuse.
Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be upsetting and/or triggering and it will be angry making.

Laura continues to analyze the police report filed by Officer Pratt and Officer Robbins and the 99-page Moab City Police Investigative Review of the Police Stop was published on 12th January 2022.
Laura outlines why the predominant aggressor law in Utah has been misunderstood and misapplied including one major detail which Brian disclosed to police. This important detail appears to have been overlooked or ignored.
Laura also details important guidance written by the Utah Attorney General’s Office, the Domestic Violence 101: A User-Friendly Manual on Domestic Violence for Police and Prosecutors, which points to Gabby being the victim and Brian the abuser. You won’t want to miss this.

Laura continues to analyze the police report filed by Officer Pratt and Officer Robbins and the 99-page Moab City Police Investigative Review of the Police Stop was published on 12th January 2022.
Astonishingly, the report concluded that ‘several unintentional mistakes stemmed from the fact the officers failed to cite Ms Petito for domestic violence.’ Laura disagrees with this preposterous conclusion and explains why. You won’t want to miss this.

Laura analyzes the police report filed by Officer Pratt and Officer Robbins and answers a number of burning questions including: whether it was known and recorded by police that the van belonged to Gabby, and; what’s happened to the police officers involved in the case?
The 99-page Moab City Police Investigative Review of the 12th August Gabby and Brian Police Stop was published on 12th January 2022. Laura shares the headlines of the review and begins her analysis of the review report starting with how it was communicated by the media.

In this episode, Laura analyses the most significant aspects of the state’s motion report requesting that Adnan Syed’s conviction be vacated. The report was filed on September 14 2022 and it ultimately led to Adnan Syed being freed on Monday 19th September, after 23 years in prison.
Adnan Syed was convicted of first-degree murder, kidnapping and false imprisonment of his 18 year old ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, in 1999. Adnan has steadfastly maintained his innocence and denied any involvement in Hae’s murder.
The case was subject to the podcast “Serial” which debuted in 2014 and has been downloaded millions of times. Also, props to Undisclosed podcast Season 1 ‘The State v. Adnan Syed’ with Rabia Chaudry, Susan Stimpson and Colin Miller goes through the case in painstaking detail and highlights key information that was omitted by Serial. I also recommend you watch the HBO’s The Case Against Adnan Syed.
This is an incredibly quick turnaround which is extremely rare in cases. Hae Min Lee’s family were represented by Hae’s younger brother, Young Lee, after Judge Phinn ordered a 30 minute recess in court to give him an opportunity to speak. Find out what happened in court, what Young Lee told the court, what the state argued and listen to Laura discuss what happens next with the case.

In this episode, Laura interviews survivor and shero Debra Newell from the podcast “Dirty John,” Bravo show of the same name and Oxygen documentary, “Dirty John, the Dirty Truth,” which Laura served as consultant producer on.
Now Debra has written a book called “Surviving Dirty John” to set the record straight about what really happened. Laura and Debra discuss how Debra went to four different police stations, desperate for help. Despite Debra’s 319-page report about John’s history, the police told her it was a civil matter and to go home. This is exactly why Laura and Debra have been lobbying for coercive control law reform and a register for serial perpetrators in America.
Laura unravels coercive control including the red flags and her indirect assessment of John Meehan using the Psychopathy Checklist Re-visited. Debra shares her investigation into her sister Cindi’s murder and reads out the message she sent police the day before her daughter, Terra Newell, was attacked by John Meehan. You won’t want to miss this.
Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be upsetting and/or triggering and it will be angry making.

In this episode, Laura interviews survivor and shero Debra Newell from the podcast “Dirty John,” Bravo show of the same name and Oxygen documentary, “Dirty John, the Dirty Truth,” which Laura served as consultant producer on.
Now Debra has written a book called “Surviving Dirty John” to set the record straight about what really happened. Laura and Debra discuss how Debra went to four different police stations, desperate for help. Despite Debra’s 319-page report about John’s history, the police told her it was a civil matter and to go home. This is exactly why Laura and Debra have been lobbying for coercive control law reform and a register for serial perpetrators in America.
Laura unravels coercive control including the red flags and her indirect assessment of John Meehan using the Psychopathy Checklist Re-visited. Debra shares her investigation into her sister Cindi’s murder and reads out the message she sent police the day before her daughter, Terra Newell, was attacked by John Meehan. You won’t want to miss this.
Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be upsetting and/or triggering and it will be angry making.

In this episode, Laura continues to deconstruct Officer Pratt’s footage of the police stop of Gabby’s van with startling revelations including how Laura believes that the Utah law was not only misunderstood but was also misapplied – and it’s probably not what you think. You might believe you have heard everything there is to say, but you really haven’t.

In this episode, Laura reflects on information shared by Brian Entin, particularly regarding whether there was a planned and co-ordinated strategy after Gabby was killed as well as about Brian’s finances, which provides a new perspective about what he told police.
Laura also deconstructs information gleaned from Park Ranger Melissa Hulls in the only interview she gave. You won’t want to miss this.

In Part 2 Laura discusses the wide-reaching and catastrophic consequences of Roe vs Wade being overturned in June 2022 with attorney, advocate and best-selling New York Times author Rabia Chaudry.
Laura and Rabia highlight how abortions have been banned before AR-15s and in the wake of the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, Texas where 400-armed law enforcement officers stood outside the classroom as 19 children and two teachers were murdered by a teenager armed with an AR-15. Yet the Supreme Court CHOSE to overturn Roe vs Wade turning back the clock 50 years.
Rabia explains the greatest threat to America is the Supreme Court and how the country will be divided into safe and unsafe states for women.
At a time that feels overwhelming for women, Laura and Rabia highlight that as women we have fought many battles before and we will fight on and prevail. It’s obvious where the true power lies. You won’t want to miss this.

Laura discusses a significant update in Gabby Petito’s case. On Monday 8th August 2022, almost a year to the date of the Moab City Police stop of Gabby’s white van, Gabby’s mother, Nichole and step-father Jim Schmidt and Gabby’s father, Joe and step-mother Tara Petito filed a notice of intent to sue Moab City Police in Utah.
The lawsuit accuses them of “negligent failure” to first understand the law and enforce it. They also accuse Moab City Police of “wrongful death” saying that Gabby’s “death was caused by their wrongful acts or neglect.” They are seeking $50m in damages.

With the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial back in the news, Laura discusses the case with attorney, advocate and best-selling New York Times author Rabia Chaudry.
Laura asks Rabia her legal perspective about the Depp/Heard case and both discuss the Bot Sentinel Report, published after the trial, which found evidence of organized and targeted online attacks on Amber Heard and other women including themselves as well why and how so many got this case completely wrong.
Both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have notified the court that they plan to appeal their respective verdict. Both parties have until 5th September 2022 to file their official appeals. This case is not over yet but perhaps the tide is slowly turning.
In Part 1 of this interview, Laura asks Rabia about the latest developments in Hae Min Lee and Adnan Syed’s case. Laura and Rabia also share their experiences of male violence and highlight how prevalent male violence is towards women yet ironically women are still not believed when they report or disclose abuse.

Laura interviews special guest Brian Entin, senior National Correspondent for NewsNation who covered Gabby’s case from the start.
Brian was posted up outside the Laundrie’s home in Florida. He also went to the location where Gabby’s van was last seen and where Gabby’s body was found, near an undeveloped camping ground along the border of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Brian shares important information about the location in relation to Brian’s so-called confession letter.
Laura and Brian also discuss the lawsuit Gabby’s mother, Nichole Schmidt and Joe Petito, Gabby’s father, filed against the Laundrie’s which is now proceeding as well as interesting disclosures from both Steve Bertolino, the Laundrie’s attorney and Pat Reilly, the attorney acting on behalf of Gabby’s parents and so much more.

In this episode, Laura discusses the other police body worn cameras and highlights new key information available from Officer Pratt’s footage, which was released on Friday 1st October.
It took Moab City Police Department more than 14 days to release the second video. Laura shares why she believes it took them so long, highlighting three concerning and significant events that happened across that time in Moab City Police Department.
This is uncomfortable information to hear – but it’s important if we are to truly learn from Gabby’s brutal murder in slow motion. You won’t want to miss this.

In this episode, Laura continues to break down Gabby and Brian’s behaviour using the police body worn camera footage from the Moab City Police Department.
Laura highlights an important statement Brian makes about the relationship and finances which is overlooked by the responding officers and is yet another indicator of coercive control.
Laura focuses on evidence that Brian is thinking about himself, whilst an emotional Gabby prioritizes and centres Brian’s needs over her own, as well as how sexism, a gender bias and misogyny played a role in green lighting and reinforcing Brian’s coercively controlling behaviour. This is not easy listening – but it’s important. It might just save a future life.

Laura has taken the decision to interrupt the Gabby Petito series to share her preliminary analyses and deconstruction of the confession letter written by Brian Laundrie, which was published on Friday 24th June.
The publication of Brian Laundrie’s notebook and so-called confession is huge. The timing of it being published and the contents are fascinating. The notebook was found in Brian’s drybag by his father, Christopher Laundrie, on October 20 2021. It was released to the media by Steve Bertolino on behalf of the Laundries on Friday, following a meeting with the FBI at the Tampa Field Office.

On May 4, 2001, Bonny Lee Bakley was found fatally shot in a car on a dark North Hollywood street. The prime suspect was her husband, famed actor Robert Blake. But Bonny, a longtime con artist, had plenty of enemies. She left behind a trail of men she’d scammed, and she had a volatile relationship with Christian Brando, the troubled son of movie star Marlon Brando.
Not since the O.J. Simpson case had the eyes of the nation been so fixated on a homicide. The search for Bonny’s killer took detectives on an eleven-month odyssey across the country and through Hollywood's underbelly of hustlers, drug addicts, and would-be hitmen. It would be the most expensive murder investigation in LAPD history to date.
This is the story of Robert and Bonny’s toxic relationship, her shocking murder, and his chaotic trial. Did actor Robert Blake kill his wife? Or was the murder someone else's vendetta?
From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime (The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet) comes a six-part series about love, obsession and fame gone wrong. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

In this episode Laura continues her analysis of one more post on Gabby’s Instagram account, a second post that was published on August 12, as well as analysis of Gabby’s TikiTok account, further highlighting inconsistencies and red flags.
Laura shares her expert analysis of the body worn camera footage from the Moab City Police Department. Officer Daniel Robbins was the responding officer who pulled over Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie in their van in Utah on August 12 2021 following two calls from members of the public.
One caller told despatchers: “A gentleman was slapping the girl. They ran up and down the sidewalk. He proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car, and they drove off.”

Laura continues her conversation with Meirion Jones, who along with Liz MacKean, investigated Jimmy Savile when they worked for the BBC. Together they lifted the lid on Savile’s prolific and serial sexual offending behaviour targeting the most vulnerable in society.
Meirion takes us behind the scenes of his and Liz’s complex BBC Newsnight investigation, including how the BBC shut down the investigation and the subsequent cover up by the BBC, the health service, the West Yorkshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Laura and Meirion discuss the scale of Savile’s offending, the ecosystem that supported and enabled him and what the lessons are from this case.
Trigger warning: This case is deeply disturbing, and this episode is a difficult listen but an important conversation. Listener discretion is advised.

Laura interviews Meirion Jones, who along with Liz MacKean, investigated Jimmy Savile when they worked for the BBC. Together they lifted the lid on Savile’s prolific and serial sexual offending behaviour, targeting the most vulnerable in society in plain sight.
Meirion takes us behind the scenes of his and Liz’s complex BBC Newsnight investigation, including how the BBC shut down the investigation and the subsequent cover up by the BBC and other institutions.
Laura and Meirion discuss the Netflix documentary ‘Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story’ including what didn’t make it into the two-part series as well as Savile’s grooming of individuals, the public and institutions and his psychology and victim preferential type.
Savile may be responsible for sexually assaulting between 1000—2000 victims.
Trigger warning: This case is deeply disturbing, and this episode is a difficult listen but an important conversation. We discuss sexual abuse, and you will hear a survivor graphically describe how Savile raped her and what happened afterwards. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, Laura continues to profile Gabby Petito’s case starting with victimology and analysing Gabby’s social media. Laura highlights some emerging patterns and also explains our obsession with ‘stranger danger’ means that we are not having real and routine conversations about one of the biggest killers of girls and women and the red flags..

In this episode, Laura profiles Gabby Petito’s case from a behavioural, investigative and preventative perspective.
Having watched the police body worn camera footage captured when Moab City Police attended a domestic violence call out, Laura saw signs of coercive control. Laura opined early on that this was a ‘murder in slow motion’ and unfortunately was proven right.
Across this investigative series Laura analyzes Gabby’s social media and breaks down what she saw on camera. Laura shares the lessons from Gabby’s case so that we are all better equipped at spotting the warning signs in the future. It might just save a life.

In this episode, Laura is joined by special guest Umberto Gonzalez, fanboy journalist and Heroic Hollywood founder who currently covers the superhero beat for The Wrap.
Why is Laura is profiling The Batman, you might be wondering? Having seen the movie with Umberto, it became apparent that The Batman was more of a dark and twisty psychological thriller than a superhero movie! It’s a detective story about an investigation that becomes very personal.
And with The Batman in full on detective mode, and Matt Reeves disclosing that he researched profiling and serial killers in a Q&A session after the movie, Umberto asked Laura questions about the psychology and profile of The Batman and The Riddler and what Matt Reeves and Peter Craig, the co-writers, got right – and wrong – and so Laura decided to share the conversation with you lovely lot.
As a 30-year Batman vet, Umberto gives Laura the scoop on what he thought about The Batman as well as the casting of Robert Pattinson into this iconic role and so much more. You won’t want to miss this.

When 22-year-old Gabby Petito disappeared in September 2021 there was national and international media coverage, and rightly so. However, when her body was found in Wyoming it brought into sharp relief the 715 indigenous people, 466 who were women, who went missing in Wyoming a decade before Gabby who received little, if any, attention in the news or on social media.
Laura wants to help change this. In this episode Laura interviews Cara Chambers, Director of the Division of Victim Services at the Office of the Attorney General of Wyoming and Dr Emily Grant Senior Research Scientist at the University of Wyoming. Both Cara and Dr Emily work on the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Task Force in Wyoming.
We spotlight the findings from the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Wyoming State-wide report authored by Dr Emily Grant. Laura highlights a hot spot in the report which warrants further investigation, and discusses a number of cases including 23-year-old Jade Wagon who was killed on January 21 2020 one year after her sister, Jocelyn Watt and her fiancé, Rudy Perez were murdered on January 5 2019, and; 28 year old Dawn Michelle Day who was discovered floating in a Fremont County waterway in Wyoming on 21 July 2012. You won’t want to miss this important conversation.

Laura interviews former LA prosecutor and legal expert Loni Coombs about her new documentary Murdered and Missing Montana. Gabby Petito’s case received a lot of media attention – and started a conversation about the fact that Native American women and girls are the most stalked, raped and murdered in America yet no-one is talking about them.
Indigenous women are 10 times more likely to be killed than the national average. And Indigenous girls and women aged between 10-34 years of age the third most prevalent cause of death is murder. 94% of Native America women will be raped or coerced in their lifetime. We get into how and why and we discuss three cases in particular, Selena Not Afraid, Kaysera Stops Pretty Places and Henny Scott.

In this episode Laura continues her very real and authentic conversation with Maria Stubbing’s brother, Manuel Fernandez, Bengi Stubbing’s Maria’s son and Celia Peachey, Maria’s daughter.
We discuss what it took to challenge the police and the system, the inquest itself and what needs to change. We also talk about trauma recovery and post traumatic growth.
You’ll also hear from Bengi. We had another conversation following his trauma related response. He felt he needed to speak again for himself and his mum. That tells you a lot about the man he has become. Please be advised this is not an easy listen but it is an important conversation that we agreed to share.
Please support our campaign work to protect women by sharing this important episode with family, friends and colleagues and amplify our voices.

Deep Cover tells true stories of crime and corruption. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jake Halpern reveals dark underworlds most of us know nothing about. The new season, Mob Land, tells the true story of a high-rolling Chicago lawyer who fixed court cases for the mob. He did this for years... until he decided to betray them and work with the FBI. He wears a wire to expose a black market of corruption—where politicians were bought and justice was sold. Where, for the right price, even murderers could walk free... With first-hand interviews from FBI agents, mobsters, family members, and criminals, the story is truly a wild journey into a world of corruption, murder and deceit.
Today, we're sharing a preview of Episode 1. You can listen to the new Deep Cover season now at https://link.chtbl.com/crimeanalystdeepcover
Laura’s excited to drop the first of many ‘My Two Cents’ on Crime Analyst, giving you her quick-ish take on cases, TV shows/podcasts etc, stories in the news. In this episode, Laura highlights her seven takeaways about the Netflix docuseries ‘The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman.’
This episode includes:
• deconstructing Robert Hendy-Freegard’s behaviour (nee Dronfield aka Rob Freegard, Robert David, David Hendy, David Clifton);
• an indirect assessment of Hendy-Freegard using the PCL-R, the Psychopathy Checklist Revisited;
• breaking down what coercive control is, the signs to look out for and how to spot men like Hendy-Freegard;
• potential next steps for the investigation;
• the coercive control law Laura successfully campaigned for which came in in England and Wales in 2015 and the coercive control law reform work she is doing across the world (yes it’s a global issue!)

In this episode, we continue our discussion about what was going on in the relationship and how Williams’s behaviour escalated and landed him in prison. But even from prison, he laid down the rules and regulations, dictating what Rachel could and couldn’t do.

Laura interviews survivor, advocate and all-round inspiration Rachel Williams.
After 18 years of being in a relationship, Rachel was shot and severely injured by her violent partner, Darren Williams in 2011. Fortunately, Rachel survived due to her own determination and quick thinking. Williams then took his own life, as did her 16-year-old son Jack, shortly after the attack. This is Rachel’s story.

Laura continues her conversation with survivor, activist, campaigner and all-round warrior Zoe Dronfield. Zoe describes her fight for custody of her daughter, Sofia, in the Family Court whilst simultaneously fighting for justice in the Criminal Court at Smith’s trial.
We discuss our campaign for serial stalkers and domestic abusers to be included on the same database as registered sex offenders as well as a need to change the culture and focus on perpetrators as well as Zoe’s legal case against the police and the wide reaching repercussions it has for victims. You won’t want to miss this.

Contribute to Zoe’s Go Fund Me - https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-victims-of-serial-domestic-abusers
Zoe is issuing proceedings in the High Court against the police. In order to do this, she needs your help with the court fees. Zoe believes the police failed in their duty to fully investigate matters reported and had the reports made by victim 3 been fully prosecuted, victims 4-16 would potentially never have been abused by him as he may have been serving a long custodial sentence. Zoe’s legal team say she has a strong case. If she can raise the money this legal case could have far reaching implications in helping thousands of women failed by the police get compensation, and more importantly, force a change in attitude and practice from the police who will finally be held to account.

Laura and former New York City Prosecutor and retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente forensically deconstruct and profile Sophie Toscan Du Plantier’s brutal murder.
We pool our collective knowledge and experience of 60 years analysing serious and violent crime. Starting with the victimology, we discuss whether Sophie was targeted and/or knew the killer as well as what we believe happened the night/morning Sophie was killed. Step by step we walk you through our individual analysis of the crime scene.
N.B. We have not discussed Sophie’s case before - what you hear is our organic and dynamic analysis of what we understand and believe happened the night/morning Sophie was murdered.

Laura continues the discussion with actor, director, producer, author and true crime aficionada Alison Sweeney about Sophie Toscan Du Plantier’s brutal murder.
Sophie’s body was found at the bottom of the driveway to her holiday home in Schull, West Cork, Ireland by her neighbour Shirley Foster on December 23 1996.
Laura continues to answer Alison’s questions about Sophie’s murder, a case that remains unsolved to this day. We discuss Ian Bailey’s history of violence towards Jules, control related issues, his first wife Sarah, the so-called alibi, the timeline, the trial in France and so much more.
This case is troubling. Can you help? Sophie and her family deserve justice.

Laura discusses 39-year-old French TV and film producer Sophie Toscan Du Plantier’s brutal murder with actor, director, producer, author and true crime aficionada Alison Sweeney.
On the morning of December 23 1996, Sophie’s body was found by her neighbour, Shirley Foster, at the bottom of the driveway to her holiday home in Schull, West Cork, Ireland.
Laura starts this new series answering Alison’s questions about the case. We discuss the victimology, how Sophie was framed in the media and by others, the sequence of events the night that Sophie was murdered and so much more.
Many of the questions that Laura answers are the same ones that you have too if you have listened to the podcast ‘West Cork’, watched the three-part Netflix show ‘Sophie: A Murder in West Cork’ and/or the five-part Sky docuseries, ‘Murder at the Cottage: A Search for Justice for Sophie’ directed by Jim Sheridan.
This is a deeply troubling case that remains unsolved to this day. Sophie and her family deserve justice.

BORDERLANDS is the tall-but-true tale of a charismatic outlaw, an iconic small-town sheriff, and the record-setting drug bust that ensnared them both. Set in the rugged Texas borderlands, host Rob D'Amico transports listeners back to the opening salvos of the War on Drugs, when Mexican cartels were first emerging as hyper-violent mega-corporations, the US government was engaging in draconian narcotics crackdowns, and there was so much dirty money swirling across the Rio Grande that even the most incorruptible citizen would be tempted. But as much as BORDERLANDS is the story of guns, briefcases full of cash, and daring smuggling runs — and it is — the show also unearths the secret, hallucinatory, and utterly unique world of remote Far West Texas, where on the right night you might spy naked women wearing only hiking boots dancing in the full-moon light, meet a guitar-strumming Lothario leading a leashed mountain lion into a honky tonk — or even stumble upon a billion-dollars worth of cocaine sitting unguarded in a horse trailer in the center of town. In the tradition of films like No Country for Old Men and novels like Charles Portis's Gringos, BORDERLANDS mashes up the shockingly real and the deeply surreal, chronicling not just the events of a crime, but digging deep into the mystery and aura of one of America's most myth-soaked regions.

An apartment complex hosts a big Halloween party with themed rooms and costumed partygoers. By the end of the night one of the party’s hosts is murdered. And the partygoers are the main suspects in the eyes of the police: was it the guy in the devil mask, the guy dressed as Jesus, the bank robber, the construction worker? As a complex investigation winds its way through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even a psychic, the police zero in on one suspect in particular -- but why? From Campside Media and Wondery, the makers of Chameleon and the Shrink Next Door, comes SUSPECT. Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Over My Dead Body) return to the scene of the crime to uncover what happened, and speak with everyone about a party that still haunts them a decade later. It’s a series about cutting-edge science and mislaid justice, race and policing, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day. Choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.
You can find Suspect here https://wondery.com/shows/suspect/

Laura interviews Kerri Kasem, Casey’s eldest daughter, advocate, TV and radio producer, writer and host as well as co-founder of KasemCares.org, which she set up to help others experiencing elder abuse and/or coercive control.
Kerri’s father, Casey, was best known as the voice of America’s Top 40 as well as the voice of Scooby Doo.
Kerri and her siblings were granted conservatorship just before Casey died, but his wife Jean disappeared him. Distraught, Kerri hired a private investigator to track him down. Sadly, Casey died on June 15 2015 and was buried in an unmarked grave in Norway.
This is Kerri and Casey Kasem’s story – a story which ended with Kerri and Jean accusing the other of going after Casey’s $100 million dollar estate and claiming the other killed him.
It’s a story that everyone should hear.

In this final episode, Laura analyses the letter writer and tape maker as well as the behavioural profile of someone who would act in this way.
Laura discusses the apology issued by West Yorkshire Police in November 2020 as well as the learning opportunities from this case in terms of future early identification, intervention and prevention of serial offenders and killers.
Most importantly, Laura re-centers and remembers the victims in the final episode of the podcast series documenting this much needed re-investigation. You really won’t want to miss this.

In this episode Laura deep dives the senior officer’s backgrounds leading the charge to identify this prolific serial killer and discovers some shocking and mind-blowing revelations.
Laura deconstructs two high profile cases, the M62 bombing which resulted in then Detective Chief Superintendent George Oldfield being promoted to Assistant Chief Constable and Lesley Molseed’s sexual assault and murder whereby then Detective Sergeant Dick Holland was commended by the Judge. Their roles in the cases had catastrophic and wide-reaching consequences. You really won’t want to miss this.

In this special report, I discuss the latest developments with former criminal prosecutor and legal expert Loni Coombs who was at the court on July 14 2021 for the hearing.
I highlight what has happened in the three weeks since the world heard Britney Spears’s shocking and unfiltered testimony about the “abusive conservatorship” that she has been living under for the past 13 years.
I compare and contrast it to Bill Cosby and the decisions taken in his case, a set of decisions that should alarm everyone and wake us all up to grave injustices that are happening every day and where women pay the price.
Cosby and others were entitled to pick their own legal team. Britney was not. Cosby is free. Britney is not. This case is important for all women everywhere. Listen. Be outraged. Get Angry. Get Loud. Take action.

In this special report I interview Dr. Jessica Taylor, psychologist, CEO of Victim Focus and author of ‘Women Are Blamed for Everything: Exposing the Culture of Victim Blaming’ and her new book ‘Sexy But Psycho: Uncovering the Psychiatric Labelling of Women and Girls.’
Strap yourself in as Dr Jessica Taylor and I deconstruct how the criminal and civil justice systems and social and medical systems and models routinely position, demonize and pathologize women as ‘hysterical’ ‘unhinged’ ‘crazy’ ‘non-credible’ even if when many women come forward with allegations of abuse or if you are a successful, wealthy female mega star and icon, such as Britney Spears.
In order to understand what is happening to Britney Spears, we need to understand and examine the wider culture and ecosystem that enables men to claim and dominate the narrative and frame Britney - and women – without challenge.
We track back to Britney’s Disney days and forensically take a part the trajectory of pathologizing Britney over time. We name names, revealing who we believed framed Britney.
To provide a context to this episode, ‘Who Framed Britney Spears?’ dropped the week after the world witnessed Bill Cosby walk free from prison following a Supreme Court’s decision to honour a so-called non-prosecution deal between two men - a powerful prosecutor, Bruce Castor, and Cosby. This alleged deal took place in secret. No-one knew about it including Bruce Castor’s team, none of the victims or prosecutors knew about its existence - nor was it ever documented or written down.
Cosby is free. Britney is not. Listen to the episode and get angry.

In this special report I interview former Los Angeles criminal prosecutor Loni Coombs, who was at the courthouse on Wednesday 23th June for Britney Spears' testimony at a remote hearing about her conservatorship.
Britney had specifically asked to address the Judge and for her testimony to be made public. No-one knew what Britney was going to say.
Loni provides unique insight and legal analysis and I weigh in with analysis of events and behaviour and discuss the control over Britney in the context of coercive control. You won’t want to miss this.

In this episode, Laura deconstructs motivation, the ‘why dunnit’ which is important to understand regarding identification, culpability, diagnosis and risk management as well as learning opportunities for the future.
Laura discusses an alarming discovery following PS’s conviction, which led to his transfer to Broadmoor High Security Psychiatric Hospital.
Trigger Warning: This episode contains PS’s voice and narrative about motive and Laura’s analysis comparing and contrasting it with his crime scene behaviour.

In this episode, Laura outlines what was known about PS and compares and contrasts this to her analysis from his crime scene behaviour.
Laura also answers the second, third and fourth most commonly asked questions about this case. After people get over the shock that PS was married, everyone wants to know what was his relationship like with his wife, Sonia? What was she like and what did she know?

In this episode, Laura analyses and deconstructs PS’s behaviour at the crime scenes and discusses what it reveals about PS and shares her thoughts about why he chose to brutalize and kill so many women. Laura’s work always starts with analysing the crime and the victimology. If we look at how the crime was committed, that leads us to why the crime was committed and it’s instructive about the who committed the crime. This is most requested episode of the series. You won’t want to miss this.

Laura continues to outline and analyze the other potentially linked offences and discusses former Chief Constable Keith Hellawell’s re-investigation and his subsequent interviews with PS, which led to a further confession. Laura also weighs in on why the police suspected a copycat offender and continues to uncover further deeply disturbing and concerning miscarriages of justice. You won’t want to miss this.

Laura continues to deconstruct The Byford Report, the missing pages and the other potentially linked offences that may have been committed by PS. Lord Byford concluded that serial killers become serial killers because they are cute enough to avoid police detection early on. Laura has a differing view. You won’t want to miss this.

Laura interviews journalist and author Sheron Boyle, who lived in Yorkshire at the time PS was attacking and killing women. Sheron also covered the case extensively, interviewing many of the victims and police officers involved as well as John Sutcliffe, PS’s father. Laura and Sheron discuss other potentially linked offences and a letter PS wrote to Sheron, as well as Sheron’s interview with a number of the officers investigating the case and PS’s background, which sheds some light on his psycho/social development and the decisions that he chose to take in life. Sheron wrote the book entitled Working Girls and Their Men – a Candid Investigation into Prostitution in Britain.

In this special report, Laura highlights many murders which may have been prevented if a serial domestic abuser and stalker register were in place, as well as behavioural analysis of the Atlanta shooting on March 16 2021. This special episode is in honour and memory of all the victims.
Here are the 3 things you can do to help with the serial domestic abuser and stalker campaign: 1. WRITE TO / EMAIL your Member of Parliament Ask that they support the inclusion of serial domestic abusers and stalkers on the database for violent and sexual offenders. State that public protection must be joined up and investment in the database, training and guidance are also urgently needed. Please include your own personal reason for why you think it is of vital importance Government do this and act now. You can include that since the first reading of the Domestic Abuse Bill 30 women have been murdered and so the clock is ticking whilst this continues to be debated and that femicide is an all-time high. 2. COMPLETE the Government's short online survey about Violence Against Women and Girls and ask that they prioritise and focus on perpetrators and male violence and serial and high harm domestic abusers and stalkers and that they are managed by the Multi-agency Public Protection Arrangements Plus, which are statutory and must include specialist domestic abuse and stalking services:

Laura interviews author, journalist, campaigner and survivor Julie Bindel. Julie lived in Leeds at the time and the day before Jacqueline Hill was murdered and close to where she was killed, Julie was followed by a man fitting PS’s description on her way back from the pub. Julie shares with Laura what happened that night, what it was like living through this in West Yorkshire at the time, the police response, terminology including prostitution vs sex worker, how we prevent male violence and so much more. You will not want to miss this fascinating interview. Julie has written extensively on rape, domestic violence, sexually motivated murder, prostitution and trafficking, child sexual exploitation and stalking. Julie wrote the book The Pimping of Prostitution: Abolishing the Sex Work Myth, is a detailed examination of the global ‘sex workers’ rights’ movement and how the ‘happy hooker’ narrative has come to shape our perceptions - including many women involved in prostitution - of what is misleadingly named as ‘the oldest profession’ You can buy Julie’s book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Pimping-Prostitution-Abolishing-Work-Myth/dp/113755889X

Laura Richards analyses and deconstructs the murders and attacks on lone women committed by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS throughout the series) in the north east of England in the 1960s and 1970s.
This case happened before Laura started her career at New Scotland Yard. It was the very reason her unit was set up.
Listen and find out why Laura believes this is one of the most misunderstood cases of our time and why we should stop referring to this serial killer as The Yorkshire R*
Join Laura each week in the intelligence cell as she behaviourally breaks down each attack and highlights which cases she believes to be linked, why PS did what he did and how he was allowed to get away with it for so long.
