About this listen

 This episode delves into the psychological patterns that drive individuals to kill from a distance. Through interviews with forensic psychologists and criminologists, Raven examines four distinct psychological profiles common among long-range killers: the control fantasy (exemplified by the DC Snipers' "I am God" message), military/tactical identification (seen in cases like Christopher Dorner), paranoid ideation, and mission-oriented ideology. The episode explores how the physical distance between sniper and victim creates psychological distance that facilitates moral disengagement, and discusses specific traits common among these killers, including low empathy and obsession with technical precision. The episode concludes by examining how this understanding can inform threat assessment and intervention strategies, while acknowledging the complexity of human behavior that makes perfect prediction impossible.
