In the early morning hours of October 7, 2022, a four-year-old girl woke to find her mother unresponsive in their Forest, Virginia apartment. What first responders initially suspected was a drug overdose would soon reveal itself as something far more sinister: the murder of Katlyn Lyon Montgomery.

In this episode of Deadly Intent, we examine the Katlyn Lyon Montgomery murder case and the ex-boyfriend who stalked, surveilled, and ultimately killed her just ten days after she uncovered the truth about his fabricated identity. Through the lens of criminal psychology, we explore how a shattered narcissistic fantasy can transform into lethal obsession, and why the period immediately following a breakup represents the most dangerous window for victims of intimate partner violence.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of intimate partner violence, stalking, and strangulation. Listener discretion is advised.

January 15, 1947. A young mother walking with her child through a vacant lot in Los Angeles made a discovery that would haunt the city for decades—the severed, mutilated body of 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, later dubbed "The Black Dahlia" by the press.

Within days, LAPD investigators had identified a prime suspect with means, motive, and opportunity. That suspect would later be secretly recorded admitting the possibility of the crime, yet he was never arrested. They had witness testimony placing him with the victim. They had evidence of his violent tendencies and history with women. They had everything they needed to solve one of the most brutal murders in LA history.

Instead, they had too much of everything. Over 500 suspects. 60 confessions. Thousands of tips. The investigation became a circus of contradicting leads, media interference, and investigative overload. In the chaos, the real killer slipped away—perhaps right from under their noses.

This episode examines how cognitive overload and information paralysis can sabotage even the most high-profile investigations. We'll explore the psychological phenomenon of "proximity blindness"—when investigators stare directly at the solution but can't see it through the noise. And we'll reveal why sometimes having too much evidence can be worse than having too little.

Join me as we examine the deadly intent behind one of America's most infamous murders, and ask the haunting question: what happens when investigators are drowning in suspects while the killer hides in plain sight?

Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of extreme violence, mutilation, and sexual assault.

In the affluent Tokyo suburb of Setagaya, the Miyazawa family was preparing for New Year's Eve 2000 when their home became the scene of one of Japan's most perplexing crimes. Mikio (44), Yasuko (41), eight-year-old Niina, and six-year-old Rei were brutally murdered by an unknown intruder who then did the unthinkable—he stayed.

For up to 10 hours after the killings, the perpetrator made himself at home in their house. He ate four containers of ice cream, used their computer to browse the internet, attempted to buy theater tickets, and even took a nap on their sofa. He left behind a treasure trove of evidence: DNA, fingerprints, clothing, the murder weapons, and even unflushed feces containing traces of his last meal.

Despite this overwhelming forensic evidence and one of the largest investigations in Japanese history involving over 280,000 officers, the killer has never been identified. The case challenges everything we think we know about criminal behavior and investigative capabilities.

Join me as we examine the psychological profile of a killer whose intent extended far beyond murder—someone who wanted to violate every boundary of human decency and demonstrate his complete control over life, death, and the very concept of home as sanctuary.

This episode explores the darkest possibilities of criminal intent and asks the haunting question: what drives someone to not just kill, but to make themselves comfortable in the aftermath of their own evil?

Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of violence against children and families.
