  • After the Murders, What Nick Reiner’s Actions Tell Us | Profiling Evil
    Dec 24 2025

    In the wake of the tragic killing of Rob and Michele Reiner, new media reports are adding detail to how their son, Nick Reiner, behaved after the murders, what investigators allege about his post-crime choices, and how those behaviors intersect with claims of schizophrenia and substance history. Let’s explore Reiner’s documented actions like checking into a hotel, avoiding immediate contact with police, and how these decisions, when combined with established legal observations may suggest awareness and a decision to evade responsibility. What’s the broader context of mental health and addiction and what are media outlets reporting on those issues. Finally, how do they, or how do they not explain the choice to commit a double homicide.

  • Murder in a Safe Place, The Sherry Crandell Case | Profiling Evil
    Dec 23 2025

    In 1998, 50-year-old nurse and hospital administrator Sherry Crandell was raped and murdered inside her office at Prince George’s Hospital Center — a place she should have been safe. Despite DNA, fingerprints, and even an eyewitness, the case stalled for almost 30 years.

    In this episode, I sit down with investigative journalist Paul Wagner, host of American Nightmares: Murder in a Safe Place, to break down the crime that shook Cheverly, Maryland. We explore the original investigation, the controversial DNA dragnet inside the hospital, and the relentless work of a retired detective who refused to let this case die.

    Most importantly, we look at how investigative genetic genealogy finally identified Edward Barry Watts — also known as Baari Shabazz — as the man who murdered Sherry Crandell in 2025. Paul’s reporting played a major role in keeping attention on this cold case, and today we talk about what this long-awaited breakthrough means for Sherry’s family and for the future of genetic genealogy in solving violent crimes.

    If you follow cold cases, genealogy-based investigations, or behind-the-scenes reporting from the people who never quit, this conversation will take you deeper than the headlines ever did.

  • Reiner Murders and What We Know | Profiling Evil
    Dec 20 2025

    The investigation into the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner has taken a decisive turn, with prosecutors now filing murder charges and a special allegation involving the personal use of a knife. In this episode, we walk through the latest updates from LAPD, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, and the District Attorney’s Office, while examining how family stress, long-standing addiction issues, and holiday pressure can quietly escalate into irreversible violence. This is what we know so far — and why this case matters far beyond Rob Reiner and the Reiner family. Mike joins Law and Crime.

  • From Booze to Bloodshed! PLUS Feedback Friday’s Ask Mike Anything | Profiling Evil
    Dec 19 2025

    It starts small. A stolen bottle of liquor. A missing wallet. A petty theft in the night. But for some individuals, crime isn’t a one-off, it’s a sliding scale, a dark spiral downward. Let’s examine how Antonio Brown, an alcoholic, homeless man moved from petty theft to what would become a brutal homicide. This isn’t about sensational headlines. It’s about the dangerous dynamics of escalation — when opportunity, desperation, and violence collide. An in-depth look at the tragic 2022 death of 77-year-old Eleanor Bowles at the hands of 23-year-old Antonio Brown — tracing a path from alleged minor thefts to a violent car theft-turned-homicide, exploring psychological escalation, criminal history, and what may have tipped this suspect over the edge.

  • BONUS: Mind Over Murder? Georgia Law & Sarah Grace Patrick | Profiling Evil
    Dec 18 2025

    When a defense team orders a psychological evaluation just weeks before trial, it’s never accidental and it’s never meaningless. In this episode of Profiling Evil, we take a careful, plain-spoken look at the developing case of Sarah Grace Patrick, charged in Carroll County, Georgia, with the murders of her mother, Kristen Brock, and her stepfather, James Brock. As the case moves closer to trial, new questions are emerging about mental health, legal strategy, and whether a jury could be asked to consider an insanity-related defense under Georgia law. The episode talks about the mental health evaluation, what it means and what it does not mean. Under Georgia’s narrow insanity standard, mental illness alone is not enough. So why pursue an evaluation now? Is this about an insanity defense, a guilty-but-mentally-ill verdict, mitigation, or simply preparing for the weight of the evidence the state may present? If you want to understand the strategy, the risks, and the reality behind the headlines, this is a conversation worth having.

  • Missing Melodee Buzzard, & Ashlee Buzzard’s Silence | Profiling Evil
    Dec 16 2025

    Missing Melodee Buzzard, & Ashlee Buzzard’s Silence | Profiling Evil

    Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished somewhere along the Utah-Colorado border after a strange cross-country trip with her mother, Ashlee Buzzard—a journey involving wigs, license-plate swaps, and days of evasive travel through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Nebraska. Ashlee Buzzard returned the rental car alone… and has refused to say where Melodee Buzzard is.

    In this Profiling Evil breakdown, Mike King teams up with former Los Angeles prosecutor and criminal-defense attorney Joshua Ritter—host of Courtroom Confidential and The Sidebar—to examine the legal side of this heartbreaking case. Together, they discuss what investigators need before charging a parent, how digital forensics will guide this search, how the FBI’s involvement shifts the investigation, and what mental-health claims do (and do not) change in a missing-child case. If you know anything about the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard, contact the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office at 805-681-4150 or submit an anonymous tip at 805-681-4171.

  • When Holiday Hope Meets Hidden Danger, The Rob Reiner & Bondi Beach Tragedies | Profiling Evil
    Dec 15 2025

    This Rob Reiner story is one of those stories that makes you stop and really think about what’s happening inside families when the doors are closed and the holidays are supposed to bring everyone together. In this review, we’re also going to acknowledge the tragedy at Bondi Beach, because these events didn’t happen in isolation — they reflect a broader pattern of violence and emotional fracture surfacing during moments that are meant to be about peace and connection. The Rob Reiner case forces a hard conversation about how stress, long-standing addiction issues, and unresolved family conflict can quietly build beneath the surface, even in families that love each other deeply. Let’s walk through what’s known so far, what police have said, and why these tragedies fit a pattern we see far too often when emotional pressure peaks and warning signs go unaddressed.
