Day 4 of Lori Vallow Daybell’s Arizona conspiracy trial pulled forensic science into the center ring—and this time, it spoke volumes. Mesa PD forensic scientist Vanessa Mielke nailed down DNA matches that put Alex Cox behind the wheel of the now-infamous Jeep. Kyle Mueller’s expert analysis found actual gunshot residue particles in that same vehicle, months after the alleged shooting. Meanwhile, Lori’s legal team continued their trend of silence, opting not to cross-examine key witnesses. Was...

2025/06/10

For years, the FBI chased a ghost. The Unabomber’s bombs left little forensic evidence, and his attacks appeared random—until he made a crucial mistake. In 1995, Ted Kaczynski insisted on publishing his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, believing it would justify his violent ideology. Instead, it exposed him. In this episode, we reveal how forensic linguistics, behavioral profiling, and one heartbreaking family betrayal led to the unmasking of America’s most elusive terrorist. Cou...

Karen Read Murder Trial: Where Science and Emotion Coll

Profiling Evil ·

2025/05/30

Day 21 of the Karen Read murder trial brought a wave of compelling forensic evidence. Dr. Judson Welcher, a biomechanics expert, methodically aligned John O’Keefe’s injuries to the physical structure of Karen Read’s Lexus. From paint transfer tests and GPS analysis to reverse trajectories and alcohol impairment science, his testimony may have changed everything. But will the jury see it through the noise? Or will the distrust in law enforcement drown out the science? #KarenReadTrial #Jo...

In the Karen Read murder trial, a single strand of hair found clinging to the broken rear bumper of her SUV has ignited fierce debate. Could a hair really survive a 30-mile journey at highway speeds through snow and ice? In this episode of Profiling Evil, we unpack the science of airflow, forensic recovery, and the aerodynamic phenomenon known as the “recirculation zone”—using geese in flight as an analogy. This is where true crime meets physics, and one hair could make all the difference. #K...

On January 10, 2025, Yesenia “Jessica” Torres was gunned down in broad daylight outside her favorite burger spot in San Bernardino.

What really happened the night Boston police officer John O’Keefe was found lifeless in the snow? The headlines spun a dozen theories, but the truth may lie in what the autopsy reveals. Two medical examiners, black box vehicle data, and a chilling pattern of injuries paint a picture far more damning—and far more human—than rumor and speculation. In this episode of Profiling Evil, Mike King unpacks the testimony that the mainstream missed: injuries isolated to one side of the body, no signs of...

Nestled in the unforgiving Skull Valley, Utah, the ghost town of Iosepa tells an incredible story of perseverance, faith, and resilience. In the late 19th century, a group of Polynesian pioneers left the lush landscapes of Hawai’i to build a new life in the western desert. Against all odds, they thrived, creating a community that once won Utah’s award for best-kept town. But by 1917, Iosepa was abandoned. What led to its demise?

Day 7 of the Lori Vallow Daybell Arizona murder trial was courtroom drama at its finest. The prosecution rested its case, and in a jaw-dropping move, Lori—representing herself—chose not to call a single witness. Instead, she delivered her own Rule 20 motion, arguing the state hadn’t proven its case. Then came the real show: her cross-examination of Chandler Police Detective Nathan Duncan. With nearly 25 years on the job, Duncan was unshakable as he walked jurors through the digital, forensic,...
