  • Rex Heuermann Pleads Guilty, What Long Island Serial Killer Admission Really Means | Profiling Evil
    Apr 11 2026

    Rex Heuermann has now pleaded guilty, and that changes the conversation in a big way. In this episode, I sit down with documentary filmmaker Josh Zeman to break down what happened inside the courtroom, what this plea may reveal, and what questions still hang over the Long Island Serial Killer investigation. We talk about the victims, the plea, the behavioral significance of a confession like this, and the possibility that investigators may still be working toward answers in cases that remain unresolved. We also dig into the geography of the case, why location matters, how dump-site patterns can tell a story, and what mapping can reveal when you start looking at victim recovery sites, travel routes, hunting areas, and offender comfort zones.

    Most important, we keep the focus where it belongs, on the victims and the families who have waited years for answers: Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, and Karen Vergata. This case has never just been about one arrest. It’s been about behavior, victim selection, concealment, geography, and whether this plea closes the door, or opens new ones. If you’re following the Gilgo Beach investigation, the Rex Heuermann case, or the role crime mapping can play in understanding offender movement and body recovery patterns, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss.

  • BREAKING! Rex Heuermann Pleads GUILTY, But He’s Still Controlling the Story | Profiling Evil
    Apr 8 2026

    Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty on April 8, 2026, in the Gilgo Beach murders, admitting in Suffolk County court to seven charged killings and also acknowledging Karen Vergata as an additional victim during the proceeding. Let’s break down the plea, the charges, the courtroom moment, and the part that really jumped off the page to me, the reported agreement that Heuermann will sit down with the FBI’s Behavioral Science team. Is this finally accountability, or is this one more way for a serial predator to hold onto control and secure the dark legacy he appears to want?

    We’ll walk through the victims, the charges, the hearing, and the behavioral side of this case, and we’ll examine why this killer who spent years hiding in plain sight suddenly gets a chance to talk to profilers. Is it humility and accepted defeat or one last example of Heuermann’s ego, image management and attempt to write history in a way he stays relevant over time?

  • Savannah Guthrie, Faith, Grief, and The One Ask She Makes of Tucson | Profiling Evil
    Apr 7 2026

    This episode is a focused follow-up to my first breakdown and we’re only covering what Savannah Guthrie says in the remainder of her comments. We’ll walk through what she reveals about the investigation from the family’s viewpoint, what she says about Nancy as a person, why the family’s “need to know” isn’t just emotional but practical, and why she’s targeting one message straight at Tucson: somebody knows something, even if it’s small. What does it all mean from a criminal-behavior and investigative standpoint.

  • She Called Herself Chosen. Lori Daybell’s Silent-Film Appeal | Profiling Evil
    Apr 4 2026

    One thing I keep wishing for is silence. That Chad and Lori Daybell would finally stop talking. No more coded prison letters. No more jailhouse theology. No more attempts to rewrite history through spiritual language, legal filings, or appeals disguised as revelation. But since that silence isn’t coming, this episode does something different. Lori Daybell isn’t arguing innocence. She’s arguing meaning. Through a stylized Silent-Era framework, a black-and-white world of title cards, shadow, and sacred certainty, we examine how a woman convicted of murder reframes accountability as persecution, procedure as oppression, and evidence as an attack on faith.

    Across five acts, we explore the heart of her claims:

    The disqualification of her attorney reframed as the silencing of a disciple

    Court-ordered competency proceedings recast as exile and martyrdom

    Religious language treated as “faith on trial” rather than context for motive

    And delay reframed not as preparation, but as betrayal. She called herself chosen. The jury called it proven.

  • Will Rex Heuermann Admit to Being Long Island Serial Killer? | Profiling Evil
    Mar 31 2026

    The Long Island Serial Killer case may be heading for one of its biggest turning points yet. Multiple outlets are now reporting that Rex Heuermann, the New York architect charged in seven murders tied to the Gilgo Beach investigation, is expected to plead guilty in April of 2026. That plea has not yet been entered in court, and a judge would still have to accept it, but family members have reportedly been notified, and the guilty plea would make his September trial unnecessary.

    In this episode, we’ll sit down with veteran filmmaker Josh Zeman, the award-winning creator of The Killing Season, to talk about what this means. We’ll revisit the case, something we explored years earlier and examine the evidence prosecutors say tied Heuermann to the murders. Will this plea end in truth or just be an easy way out for Heuermann, sparing his family (and frankly the victim’s families) of hearing the truth about this serial killer case?

  • Ten Things I Learned After Hearing Savannah Guthrie Talk About Nancy’s Abduction | Profiling Evil
    Mar 28 2026

    In this video, I’m doing two things that belong in the same episode. First, I’m going to walk through the 10 biggest takeaways from Part 1 of Savannah Guthrie’s interview about her mom, Nancy Guthrie, using the transcript so we’re all talking about the same words, not a game of telephone. Second, I’m going to straighten out the date confusion that keeps getting repeated online, January 11, January 24, and January 31. January 31 is the anchor date the public already understands as the last day Nancy was seen, before investigators believe she was taken. January 24 keeps showing up in reporting tied to requests for neighborhood footage. And January 11 is the date that got tangled up in a tech “best guess,” then walked back publicly after Google clarified a suggested date tied to a Nest image could not be confirmed. People Magazine reported Sheriff Chris Nanos withdrew that specific January 11 ask after that clarification. On top of that, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has warned people not to turn the released doorbell stills into a calendar, because those images have no timestamp, and calling them “different days” is still speculation.

  • Nancy Guthrie & 3 Questions That Won’t Go Away | Profiling Evil
    Mar 24 2026

    Let’s tackles three issues that keep nagging people in the Nancy Guthrie case, and it does it in a way that holds up under scrutiny. First, how the suspect likely gained entry, and what his porch behavior suggests about planning, confidence, and whether he had help. Second, why investigators can say someone is “cleared,” yet still hold a vehicle, and why chain of custody and telematics can matter more than the internet realizes. Third, the CCTV questions, why a camera 2.5 miles away can matter, why street networks beat “two-mile circles,” and how timing issues like a pacemaker disconnect can be tested instead of argued. This episode includes the newest publicly reported developments that touch these three pressure points, including investigators focusing on two key dates for neighborhood video, January 11 and January 24, and updates about recovered footage near the home that has not yet produced new suspect images.

  • What Will Kouri Richins Utter When Sentenced for Murder of Husband? | Profiling Evil
    Mar 21 2026

    Convicted killer, Kouri Richins awaits sentencing on May 13, 2026, a date that also falls on what would have been her husband Eric’s 44th birthday, but she murdered him. We’ll also hear two scenarios where I think she might speak to the court and the victim’s family. In this episode, I’m going to walk you through what happens next while she sits in jail, how sentencing hearings actually work in Utah, and what intake and the first days in prison tend to look like. I’ll provide a practical look at the prison process from the Utah Department of Corrections and explore what most people get wrong about those first couple of weeks.
