Lisa and Jim pick up where their conversation left off, breaking down the details of the Menendez case and posing questions about the events. There are so many things that have been buried in the past three decades, there is a lot to discuss.

There are high profile cases you think you know, but the truth is far more nuance, complicated and terrible than anything the media could ever cover during a headline making trial. On the evening of June 20th 1989, Lyle Menendez (21) and his brother Erik Menendez (18) shot their parents Kitty and Jose Menendez to death in their Beverly Hills home. Of that there is no dispute. In 1996, the brothers were each finally convicted (after a first trial ended in deadlock) of two counts of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.At the time, their defense contended that years of horrific emotional, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of their father Jose, and the complicity of their mother Kitty, made the sons fear for their lives and kill their parents in self defense. However few in the media, the public and certainly on that jury, believed them. Until now. In the new explosive Peacock documentary "Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed" there is a new corro

We welcome back Amara Cofer, host of the podcast Black Girl Gone https://www.blackgirlgonepodcast.com/ to help us discuss the terrible murders of three young sisters in Atlanta, Texas: Zi’Ariel Robinson-Oliver, 9, A’Miyah Hughes, 8, and Te’Mari Robinson-Oliver, 5, who were reported missing by their babysitter last July and later found dead in a nearby pond.  Amara raises a lot of good questions that law enforcement have yet to answer. We share some revelations about the case that no one seems to be talking about. There is a shocking lack of urgency to find this triple child killer who is still at large in this community! We urge the media both there on the ground in Texas and also nationally to dig for more answers. Please share our episode and get this story out there. These little girls and their devastated mother Shommaonique deserve justice.If you have information on this case please call the Texas Rangers at903-255-5727 #BlackGirlsMatter #WhoKilledThem #Investigate #DoYourDamnJob

On a hot summer night last July in a small town in east Texas, sisters Zi’Ariel Robinson-Oliver, 9, A’Miyah Hughes, 8, and Te’Mari Robinson-Oliver, 5, were reported missing by their babysitter. Their mother Shommaonique Oliver-Wickerson rushed home from work to find the Cass County Sheriff’s office, Texas Parks and Wildlife, volunteer firefighters, neighbors and family members searching the surrounding area for her little daughters. What happened next was every mother’s worst nightmare.At 2 AM the sisters were found dead in a pond on a neighboring private property, two hundred yards from their home. Officials allowed the family and community to believe the deaths were accidental drownings. Now nearly nine months later, the Cass County DA’s office is changing their tune and has stunningly announced that the autopsy reports indicate the girls were all strangled, possibly beaten and potentially sexually assaulted. Why has it taken so long to get the truth? What is being done to find the murderer of these preciou

What is wrong with the Metropolitan Police Force? 5 words: Defensiveness, Denial, Racism, Homophobia and Misogyny. Prompted by the murder of 33 year old Sarah Everard who was abducted, raped and strangled by a London Metropolitan Police officer in 2021, the failures in the Met police force were scrutinized in a recent scathing report. This review is stunning and something everyone, whether you are an average citizen, politician, academic or law enforcement professional, should read and learn from, because this is not just about the London police, it is an indictment that can be applied to all police everywhere. Many people who join the police are drawn by a strong moral purpose, they want to help, serve and protect and they put their lives on the line every day, enduring extreme trauma in the process -- but many others are drawn to the job for the power, and the opportunity to abuse that power. This report can help change that. #SarahEverard #MurderbyPolice #Abducted #Raped #Strangled #Mur

We continue to deconstruct Andrew Tate’s behavior which can be traced right back to his childhood and his response to the toxic male role model he had in his life. We discuss his family dynamics and his craving for his father’s approval. Instead of overcoming that lack of father love, instead of championing the strong women in his life who were raising him and sacrificing for him, instead of creating good in the world — he chose a different path, one of subjugating women, and exploiting vulnerable young men. We are here to call it out. #misogynist #poser #sde #toxicmasculinity #CallOutBullies #MothersAgainstMisogyny #RealCrimeProfile #Podcast #Expert #Analysis #FBI #NewScotlandYard #TrueCrime >>>>SUPPORT OUR OTHER SHOWS <<<CRIME ANALYST PODCAST - You’re interested in real crime?

Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer and failed reality tv contestant, is someone who has tried to ingratiated himself with, indoctrinate and monetize impressionable young men and boys by proselytizing his own brand of misogyny and toxic masculinity —  is now sitting unhappily in a Romanian prison under suspicion of rape, sex trafficking and organized crime. He and his brother Tristan have denied all charges against them. While we would love to ignore someone this thirsty who LIVES to have anyone’s attention, it is important to talk about the women he has victimized, and the young men he has manipulated. We expose the Emperor’s faux Gucci clothes, deconstruct and deglamorize the utter banality of his schtick. We call it out for what it is.

Just this past Friday March 10th, Zohreh Sadeghi, 33, a tech industry podcaster and her husband, Mohammad Milad Naseri, 35, were murdered in their home in Redmond, Washington by a man who stalked Zohreh after listening to her podcast. In the past months, his behavior had become increasingly alarming, relentlessly calling her 100 times in a day, sending her an avalanche of texts, traveling from his residence in Texas to her home in Washington state, surveying her neighborhood and threatening to harm her or himself unless she entered an intimate relationship with him. Despite Zohreh contacting police and obtaining a restraining order against him, despite his increasingly threatening behavior, police were not willing or seemed able to do anything to intervene.  Why? Why are victims not protected? Why are stalkers, who are not going to be stopped by a piece of paper, allowed free reign to terrorize and murder? Do you think you are being stalked? What can you do?

We continue our discussion about the amazing Hulu three part docu-series "Stolen Youth" which focuses on the victims of Larry Ray, a psychopathic manipulator who systematically tried to ruin the lives of Isabella Pollok, Claudia Drury, Dan Levin, Santos, Yalitza, and Felicia Rosario. Laura points out that his daughters and former wife were most likely also victimized by his coercive control. We detail the excruciating conditions that led to each victim slowly extracting themselves from Larry's grasp. Follow us and continue the conversationOn Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/realcrimeprofile/?hl=enOn Twitterhttps://twitter.com/realcrimeprofilOn Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/realcrimeprofile/#StolenYouth #Hulu #Docuseries #HerNameisTaliaRay #HerNameisIsabellaPollok #HerNameisClaudiaDrury #HisNameisDanLevin #HisNameisSantosRosario #HerNameisYalitzaRosario #HerNameisFeliciaRosario #VictimsofCoerciveControl #SarahLawrenceCollege #Mastermanipulator #CultLeader #Cult #FBI #NewScotlandYard #C

In 2010, on the small woodsy campus of Sarah Lawrence College located in Yonkers, New York, 50 year old Lawrence Ray came to “crash” with his daughter Talia in her on-campus dorm town-house that she shared with several other students, ostensibly until he found a place to live after his recent release from prison. That fateful “visit” turned into a twisted decade long odyssey of abuse and coercive control that would nearly ruin the lives of several young people including Isabella Pollok, Claudia Drury, Dan Levin, Santos, Yalitza, and Felicia Rosario. Using the framework of Hulu’s extraordinary docs-series “Stolen Youth” we examine who these victims were, how they were lured into Larry’s web and how he was able to torture and traumatize them for so long. It is a cautionary tale that everyone needs to learn from. This is not about a “Sarah Lawrence sex cult", (in fact Laura and Jim debate whether this is a cult at all)...this is about unmasking a master manipulator capable of fooling everyone he came i

We continue our cross over episode with the “Cold” podcast host Dave Cawley, focusing in on one “person of interest” in particular in the disappearance of 24 year old single mother Sheree Warren - who went missing from Ogden, Utah in 1985. One of Sheree’s intimate partners, Cary Hartmann, was eventually convicted of the rapes of two woman and suspected in many many more. He has always claimed he had nothing to do with his girlfriend Sheree’s disappearance, despite a lot of inconsistencies and contradicting witnesses statements to his story. Jim highlights one red “behavioral” flag in particular. Has Jim cracked this case? You won’t want to miss this! Trigger warning. This episode details the subject of rape and other acts of violence.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there.When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life.Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violenc
