Rex Heuermann Sentencing, Why Serial Killers Want Us to Remember Their Names | Profiling Evil
16/06/2026 | 35min
Rex Heuermann is scheduled to be sentenced in Long Island, New York on June 17, 2026, after pleading guilty to the murders of seven women and admitting responsibility for an eighth. In this episode, Profiling Evil looks at the Gilgo Beach case from a criminal behavior perspective, not by glorifying the killer, but by asking a practical question: why do serial killers do what they do? We’ll talk about four things that often show up in serial murder cases: fantasy, the thrill of the hunt, the gap between fantasy and reality, and the offender’s desire for legacy. Most importantly, we’ll remember the victims: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, and Karen Vergata. We’ll also talk about Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance helped expose the terrible reality hidden along Ocean Parkway, and why we need to keep pushing for answers in cases involving unidentified and overlooked victims. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #LongIslandSerialKiller #MelissaBarthelemy #MeganWaterman #AmberLynnCostello #MaureenBrainardBarnes #JessicaTaylor #SandraCostilla #ValerieMack #KarenVergata #ShannanGilbert #AsianDoe #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #CriminalBehavior #Victimology #BehavioralAnalysis #SerialKiller #ColdCase #CrimeScene #JusticeForVictims #PersonalSafety #CrimePrevention #FBI #GilgoFour #LongIslandCrime #MissingPersons #UnidentifiedVictims #GIS #storymaps #Esri ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Chad Daybell’s Failed Letters, Thou Shalt Not! | Profiling Evil
13/06/2026 | 40min
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. #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #LoriDaybell #TammyDaybell #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #BrandonBoudreaux #ColbyRyan #AlexCox #MelanieGibb #ZulemaPastenes #DaybellLetters #Letter10 #TrueCrime #CultCrime #DoomsdayCult #IdahoMurders #ArizonaTrials #ProfilingEvil ======================================== CrimeCon Discount Code: https://crimecon.regfox.com/cctw3ntys1x (In Voucher/Coupon area, enter: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/ ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Weston Higginbotham Body Found, The Tragedy of "What If?" What You Should Know | Profiling Evil
09/06/2026 | 25min
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. #WestonHigginbotham #MissingInJapan #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #GriefAndLoss #FamilySupport #MissingPersons #SearchAndRescue #SAR #Victimology #HumanBehavior #BehavioralAnalysis #InvestigativeAnalysis #GIS #PublicSafety #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrime #AuburnUniversity #Kyoto #ProfilingEvil #esri ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Why TRAUMA Memories Come Back in Pieces, with Dr. Judy Ho | Profiling Evil
06/06/2026 | 51min
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. #TrueCrime #Trauma #TraumaMemory #Dissociation #PTSD #SurvivorVoices #VictimAdvocacy #TraumaInformed #CriminalJustice #ForensicPsychology #CoerciveControl #CultAbuse #ChildAbuse #SexualAbuse #DelayedDisclosure #MemoryRecall #TriggerResponse #HealingTrauma #ProfilingEvil #DrJudyHo #DrHo ======================================== CrimeCon Discount Code: https://crimecon.regfox.com/cctw3ntys1x (In Voucher/Coupon area, enter: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/ ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Baby Emmanuel Haro Deserves More Than a Plea Deal | Profiling Evil at CrimeCon
02/06/2026 | 37min
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. #EmmanuelHaro #RebeccaHaro #JakeHaro #BabyEmmanuel #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #CrimeCon #ChildAbuseAwareness #JusticeForEmmanuel #MissingChild #TrueCrimeCommunity #VictimAdvocacy #CourtroomAnalysis #CriminalBehavior #Crimecon #MikeKing ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
