  • Daybell Trial, DNA, GSR, and a Silent Defense | Profiling Evil
    Jun 11 2025

    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.

  • Unabomber’s Fatal Mistake | How a Manifesto Led to His Capture Part 2 | Profiling Evil
    Jun 10 2025

    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. Could his own words have been his greatest weakness all along? Don’t miss this gripping analysis of one of the most intense FBI manhunts in history. Like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into criminal psychology and investigations! #Unabomber #TedKaczynski #FBI #TrueCrime #CrimeInvestigation #Linguistics #ForensicPsychology #Manhunt #Profiling #Terrorism #CrimeAnalysis #SerialBombings #CriminalBehavior #Psychology #CrimeDocumentary
