If there’s any cases you’ve been wanting us to cover, or cases we’ve covered that you want more from, please let us know down below! These can be old cases, new cases, cases you just want to learn more about in a storytelling format, or cases you’d love an analysis on!😊

Comments

Colleen Canning

The case in Colorado, I think, of the Mormon dentist that poisoned his wife.

Martine Gulden

Lucy Lethby, a nurse in England who has killed babies.

Brandi

Idaho 4 😊. Also Kori Riches and Shanna Gardner looking forward to know on Shanna.

Eliza Osborn

I would LOVE Dr. John’s thoughts on the Pike County Massacre in Ohio a few years ago.

Ashley Patrick

The melody Farris case please! She was just sentenced yesterday and it was almost as crazy as Sarah Boone.

Tracy Wheeler

Hi all, new gem here from the UK - I would love Dr John’s analysis of Virginia McCullough a case here in the UK. She killed her parents and kept their bodies in the home for 4 years! The video of when the police broke into the home to arrest her is fascinating

StinkyFace

Hi Lauren and Dr John ~ I’d love for you to cover more on the effects of Parental Alienation. You mentioned it in one of your cases. I am currently experiencing ~ 3 years of no relationship with my son. I know it’s not a case. However it affects millions of parents, grandparents and friends who are being alienated all due to one parent. I’d love to understand the pathology of the parent who alienates and how I can best rebuild and support my son to help him in the future. The psychological, mental, emotional and spiritual abuse along with financial abuse is devastating. Thank you for considering doing a series on this. Love your show and coverage of Delphi, Vallow and more. Blessings and Gratitude. A mom’s broken heart. Missing her son. 💖🙏

Amelia

The Ammon Bundy and other Bundy cases please!

Madison

Wakefield case in Damascus OR - Basketball coach/Principal of 15+ years at Private Christian school and his wife abused a girl/player - denying it to their children. I played basketball for him.

Tatum Cabrera

The Killer clown case in Florida. This case is unbelievable. The killer Shiela was recently released from prison after servicing a short time. I remember watching a 24 hour espoide on this case.

Maria Albanese

I would love for you and dr john to go over Chloe Driver. She was part of a cult and they did urine therapy (ugh) and dark therapy....

Thalia Hernandez

Hello! I would love to see you collab with Sara Turney on her YouTube channel. She’s trying to get justice for her sister Alissa, whose father is suspected of murdering her, but still remains free. At the moment, the police told her that the best way to get her father convicted would be to get media exposure. There’s also a lot of evidence that her father sexually abused Alissa, and I think Dr. John could give a lot of new insight on that part of the case.

Bree Sison

Sandra Birchmore in Mass. It’s a federal case that should have received so much more attention but got big footed by the Read case.

Joshua Sherwood

I would love if you guys covered the Shanda Vander Ark case or my current favorite case the Melody Farris case. Thank you for all the great content 🙏❤️

Marcella Able

Crystal Rodger’s case from Bardstown, Kentucky. Brooks Houck her boyfriend was finally arrested & is going to trial in June 2025. They moved his trial from Bardstown (Nelson County) to Bowling Green 2 hours away. He will be tried with 2 other co-defendants. Also, Brooks brother a former Bardstown police officer who is probably involved and Crystal’s father was shot & killed while deer hunting with his grandson that is also probably connected. Then bring in a drug cartel “Cornbread mafia” it gets crazy. A mother & young daughter was killed in their home that people speculate might be connected as well. It’s a mess!

Patrice Shepherd

I know most people may not know of this case but would love to hear Dr. John's take on it. It is the Oakland County Child Killer case in Michigan where 4 young teens and preteens were murdered. Unsolved. Disturbing. There are a few books out there about the cae. One of which is called The Kill Jar by J Reuben Appelman

David Ness

It's a very old case -- and maybe not in your wheelhouse -- but I think the Patty Hearst case is fascinating from both a psychological and historical standpoint. I'll bet Dr. John would have some fascinating insights into Hearst's behavior and the possible effects Stockholm syndrome had on her cooperation with her abductors.

Samantha Hughes

Jared Leisek from the YouTube channel adventures with purpose. He abused one of his family members and the last I know he was suing all his ex coworkers because the left him when they found out. But haven't heard much more about him and he is still running a successful YouTube channel trying to make himself out to be someone he isn't. Sorry this case just bugs the heck outta me because I think he has paid his way out of it and is now going after the "little guys" (ex coworkers) because he has the money beind him and he knows they don't. He just disgusts me, his arrogance and his attitude

Amelia
>>157500793

2014 Bundy Standoff Nevada (1st armed standoff) 2016 Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (led another armed standoff against the government) COVID Protests and arrests 2022 St Luke’s Hospital protest (Hospital won a legal case in the millions against him) Ran for Mayor of Idaho in 2022 I believe there is still a $250,000 arrest warrant on him

SLPMommaBear

I would LOVE Dr. John's analysis of the Kare Reed and the insane response from her followers and on Turtle Boy himself. I am currently also listening to the podcast 34 Fairview Road by M. William Phelps. It's absolutely insane how a pretty simple case exploded into this circus.

April

Melody Farris(the details of the case and her statement at sentencing), and the sheriff in Kentucky that killed the judge in chambers!

Nicole Champeau

Todd Pinion in Atascadero Ca. It happened just recently, they arrested someone who's only 21. There's little info I can find, but it's unfolding right now. I live nearby. Todd was a 34 y/o, found in the woods, his dog was also murdered and found on the freeway. The details are so strange, I wish someone would talk about it. Or the Kristin Smart case at cal poly slo, we still don't know where her body is.

Allison Davies

Hi! The JonBenet Ramsey case. The recent documentary seems to be very biased or misleading, and I’d love an analysis.

ShaRee

Melody Farris and her statement at sentencing 😱 Dentist who poisoned wife in Colorado, he has recently been hit with new charges. (My friend is close with the family that took in some of his kids, so sad) Waiting for JP Miller to be arrested. Still watching kouri/jared case Of course Lori 🤯 Latest on railroad underground guy. His name totally slipped my mind right now I don’t know much about the healthcare CEO murder but would like to know more.

Belinda

Early 70s. Torrance CA. Rolling Hills theater murders. We lived in Torrence when I was quite young but had moved away at the time this happened. One murdered was my brother’s best friend as kids. His name was Richard and I remember him. We never heard much about it and have always wondered what really happened and who did it. Why not just rob them ? Why murder them execution style?

Mother of Rescues

This case is from 2008 and changed laws in FL. Denise Lee was a 21 year old mother of 2. She was abducted in broad daylight by Michael King. There are 911 calls from her after she somehow got ahold of his phone. There was also a call from a woman who saw Denise screaming and banging on the window in the back of his car. Very sad case and the calls are completely chilling. It happened in North Port..same general area where Stephen Sterns and Brian Laundrie lived.

CL

Please do Chris Watts. An analysis of both Shannan and Chris would be fantastic, also the dynamic in both extended families.

Coffee Kristin

Karen Read - we need some more adults in the room on that trial. The behavior of the followers of turtleboy and the Free Karen Read cheerleaders who show up outside the courthouse and tailgate during the trial, spend money on merchandise and donations for the defense, and the general overall refusal by the mainstream media to talk about the witness intimidation issues, among other things, make that case rife with the need for further coverage by people like John and Lauren

Robin Murray

I am very interested in JP Miller and the FBI investigation into him. Justice for Mica!

Jude

I NEEEEED to hear from y’all on Carly Gregg’s case. Specifically regarding the testimony of the state’s rebuttal witness/forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Pickett. As I recall, his experience was questionable (ER doc with no experience evaluating children?) and the things he said were so far from what I understand to be appropriate or ethical for an expert in that role to say. Referencing his 85 page report he called Carly *diabolical* and his testimony was, I’m sure, a major factor in this *15 year-old* girl getting sentenced to life in Mississippi, where life means life. Maybe I’m way off in my analysis but Dr. Pickett’s testimony is just wild and worth a watch.

Drkatiedds

ISRAEL KEYES!!!! Pretty please. I know it is a a big ask but it could be a whole season? Also the Adelson family…… interested in toxic families that start with the mother. Although being a dentist myself, I am so tired of the douche dude dentists that kill (usually their wives). Girls dentists, who are normal, just aren’t newsworthy 😊

Sheri Abernathy

Melody Farris, her sentencing statement And the Kentucky judge that was shot by the Sheriff

Penny
>>157502756

Have you listened to any of the coverage of the JonBinet Ramsey murder on The Consult podcast? It is fascinating. I really recommend it. (Not that it wouldn't be a good subject for HTC!!)

Carol anne Oakes

Please, please cover the Missy Bevers case!! I always wanted her murder and the murders of Abbie and Libby solved. Missy Bevers case needs examination the CCTV footage is incredible! Please and thank you L&J. Much love from Scotland! Xx

Lizzy

I'd love to know what Dr. John mkes of Melody Farris' testimony. Could she be right that her son did the killing?

Angel

Would love to see an analysis of Chris Scholtes, Arizona case where the dad left his 2 year old in a hot car while he was inside his house playing video games.

MyssiAnne

After it goes to trial, I would love your views on Evelyn Boswell in Bristol TN. I am praying not to be on the jury. Her mother is charged with her murder. I want Dr. John's take on how/why mothers do this rather than just giving up the kids.

Late2theparty

I echo CL’s request. This story intrigued and baffled me enough to watch countless hours of YouTube videos by Shannan and her friend as well as rewatch “The Family Next Door” several times on Netflix. Since discovering HTC, I’ve wondered what Lauren and Dr. John’s perspective would be. Similarly, I’d be interested in their perspective on Patrick Frazier and Krystal Lee in the murder of Kelsey Berreth.

ShaRee
>>157500392

Yes, and he was just charged with murder again, I believe

Emm Vee

I have a feeling this could be too politically fraught, but I am curious if Dr. John has a profile of who he thinks the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter might be, if he is different from other lone wolf shooters.

kim Johnson

Chris Watts please. How could he?

Emm Vee
>>157502756

I had to watch Hidden's Live from Christmas a couple years back after watching that documentary.

Amy S

I’d love Dr. John’s take on Casey Anthony, Chloe Driver, and Carly Gregg. Also, Lauren, I sent an email to the email address on your book web site. I had an issue with my purchase. Thank you so much.

Andrea C

I’d love to hear John’s take on Melanie Farris’ statement at her sentencing. I thought she sounded super credible.

Linda

I'm sure the big 3 Kohlberger, Richins, and Shana Gardner are a given. In Victor Idaho Jeremy Best kills his pregnant wife, kidnaps 10 month old Zeke Best and the baby is found dead by hunters while Jeremy was found naked in a sleeping bag near his vehicle making odd statements to them. They were found in Bonneville County which encompasses Idaho Falls. Roughly 66 or so miles to the South. So sad. Idaho is starting to be the Psycho state.

MaryAnn

Jon Benet- Intruder or someone inside the home?

AnDi

Hi, Lauren and John! I would be very interested in your coverage of the unsolved double homicide of billionaire couple, Honey and Barry Sherman in Toronto, Canada. Barry was the founder of Apotex pharmaceuticals, and there is a really interesting family back story.

Emily

Stacy Peterson! Still bothers me that she’s never been found. Also Jon Benet, that one needs justice

Kristi Wallace

The Menendez Brothers may have been overdone, but it would be interesting. Even OJ and how the defense in the criminal trial swayed the jury would be interesting.

Nicole H.

I’d love to hear you and Dr. John on “Tell them you love me” documentary. (Anna Stubberfield) Also, the Karen Reed case (vs Commonwealth of Massachusetts).

Donna Nagel

James Craig..Colorado dentist

Vickie Teachey-Thomas

This murderous pseudo intellectual🤬 THAYNE ORMSBY😒 He's a fascinating case study🤔 Lauren asks very intuitive questions. She's great at getting to the heart of the matte. Also, I want to hear Prof. Mathis thoughts clinically. I'm equally curious for both🤓💜👍🏽 *I like emojis. Not egregiously😏 Deal with it 💅🏾😅

Mother of Rescues

Any healthcare serial killer...Charles Cullen, Lucy Letby, Harold Shipman, Heather Pressdee, Vicky Jackson...there are so many. Terrifying. As a nurse, I would pray before my shift and during my shift that I made no errors, and that my patients were safe, comfortable and remained stable. It blows my mind that some deliberately harm those they are supposed to care for.

Maya Rodriguez Sorensen

Nancy Galvani! It's a cold case, but it's not unsolved. It's unprosecuted. Her murderer is her husband and he has not been held accountable yet. I believe that it's because her murder occurred in 1982 and the prosecution had a 1982 mentality about DV. But this case needs attention. It's kind of like the Robert Durst case of San Francisco (without the billions of dollars). Kathy Durst never got justice, but my hope is Nancy will. And even if she doesn't (because her murderer dies of old age) I'd at least want her to get justice with the public. Gray Hughes did a live about it with Alison Galvani, Nancy's surviving daughter. Alison has a small channel called My Father's Alibi. I'm SURE she'd love to be on to discuss her mom's case. I think you and John would be so good at covering this matter. There are issues of DV and power and control. Not to mention child abuse. Thanks for asking for our input!!

JenAus

Hi Lauren, maybe an interesting one given Lori wants to self-represent is the ongoing (adjourned pending verdict) Elizabeth Struhs case in Toowoomba QLD where the church members accused represented themselves in court. Such a waste of an innocent life.

The Knoxville Agent

Oklahoma Mothers (Veronica & Jillian) murder trial of all 5 suspects Kentucky Sheriff kills judge murder trial Suzanne Simpson murder trial And the UHC CEO assassination

LoriM

An old case but would love to hear Dr John talk about Scott and Laci Peterson case.

Tanja Skok

Kouri Richins, menendez brothers, Brian Walshe (where is the body of his wife?), and melody farris speech at her sentencing (she seems very similar to Sarah Boone to me). And the Adelsons please.

Lynn S

Steven Avery / Brendan Dassey

Jamie Archer

I would love another deep dive on Jennifer Soto, as well as Stephan Sterns parents (they said they "tucked him in" at the hotel they paid for which is very strange). Hannah Kobayashi. Also Chris Watts and the new details of how he feels in jail and victim blaming. I'm also really curious about Sarah Boone-some traits that I find interesting in how she is the victim of everyone (how that came about and what it is exactly because it seems more than narcissistic maybe?) and how she has to be in total control (so much that she wouldn't take a plea deal so she can have the final say).

Mary Allen

Melody Farris …. Thank you

ElaineG

Would love your opinion on Arthur Knight/ Nicholas Alahverdian/ Nicholas Rossi.

Brittany

Please cover Letecia Stauch and how she murdered her stepson, Gannon Stauch. The way she is able to make up detailed characters and scenarios on the spot and even fully immerse herself into her insane lies is so interesting. She is so fascinating to me, and I’ve been wanting a psychologist’s impression of her.

Monica Yates

I know this case has been covered relentlessly, but I would love to hear what Dr. John and Lauren think about the Scott and Laci Peterson case. The psychology around Scott has always fascinated and mystified me. Scott’s short-sighted planning /premeditation reminds me a lot of Casey Anthony. In my opinion, the continued denial with Scott and Casey are also very similar.

K K

I would love to hear Dr. John’s thoughts and analysis on cult leaders and those that follow them. Specifically, the story of Mother God cult/Amy Carlson is wild.

Kristen Michelle

I’m seconding Casey Anthony. What a piece of work.

Justin Underhill

The Doodler, San Francisco. I just find the victimology so interesting, from a historical point of view (the phenomenology of the closet, etc.). I also would like to hear Dr John talk about an artist who lures his victims in by drawing a candid portrait of them in a bar. (I always think of this when I watch those viral online videos of people being randomly drawn in the subway, then presented with the result).

Shannon Leap

This is not a specific case per se, but I am a therapist working on my Psych D. and would love for Dr. John to throwout some ideas for a dissertation. I also work in criminology. Mine is with the USDC. Pre and Post sentencing. I would 💗 to hear his thoughts!!!!

Minty

I would be so interested to hear the analysis of the Fritzl case 2008/2009 The effects of isolation and the family dynamics there that played into the generational perpetuation of the abuse are the areas that intereste me most because of parallels in my own life.

Frankie van Rooyen

Would to hear your thoughts on JonBenet, WM3, and Robert Wong. The Consult’s recent episode on JonBenet was very interesting

Jen C

The Gisele Pelicot drugging & SA case in France has been shocking, partly due to the seeming ordinary 50+ men on trial for taking up her husband's "offer" to SA her while unconscious. Verdict due Dec 20. I would really love an HTC case review + Dr. John's take on all of this. Plus thoughts on how common it might be + how so many men seem incapable of figuring out actual mutual relationships Or just fantasize about this horrific behavior & these guys took the opportunity? Is drugging victims on the rise? Well probably a lot of women too re struggling with mutual relationships but their rate of SA is very low relative to men.

D. Haskins

Stamping up lady when trial starts

Jen C
>>157519420

Lots of coverage in English + google translate so no need to speak French! ;)

Kimberley Barron

Please, please, please do an in-depth analysis of the Chris Watts case, specifically what type of personality disorder he has.

D. Haskins

And Elizabeth smart, I can't much about it.

Jen C

In addition to the individual case coverage, how about a broader series on things you have learned that would help us normies understand the legal system, justice system, various concepts in psychology and media literacy that relate to criminality and potential recovery? Things like false confessions vs real ones generally, environmental & social factors esp ones we could help fix etc.

Kim

I’ve shared this before + I second everyone else’s opinions on other big cases but I would love for Dr. John to do a series on why people fall in love or become fans of violent offenders and/or killers, especially after they’ve been arrested! I would also want to hear some of Dr. John’s personal stories and processes with the people he has been able to interview extensively and how those cases have played out :)

Mother of Rescues
>>157503393

Isreal Keyes was a complete monster. He was like something you see in a fiction horror movie. His story could definitely take up multiple episodes.

Leslie

Mitchelle Blair who killed her children but claimed they were sexually abusing her younger child. It wasn’t true but I’d like to know Dr. John’s thoughts on her.

Paul Maher Jr

I've been pulling reports of a series of child murders in NYC in the early 20th century, most of them done in basements by bludgeoning and strangulation. NYPD arrested a young African American mentally handicapped man within weeks of the murder as their suspect. He was electrocuted within a year at Sing-Sing. The murders continued. The cases remain unsolved to this day.

Natalie Lea

This may already be on your list to cover, but the Idaho murder case is going to trial in June 2025 (I think, anyway). I hope you all will cover it! I haven’t been able to get those kids and their families out of my mind since it happened.

Madison
>>157500835

Thank you, yes I am ok I had no knowledge until he was arrested but would love for them to analyze the case!

Cheney Tardio

The case of Asha Degree, a young girl who went missing in the dead of night, recently had some updates. Asha seemingly left her pwn

Cat Lady

You mentioned in previous episodes about btk and Israel Keyes

Sugar and Spite

I would love to see coverage of Asha degree or the Flora Four

Ferky Fam

Mark Hacking case

Nerida Conway

Hey Lauren and Dr John, love you guys – and listen to you religiously. i’m in Australia, and I would be really interested to hear your take on one of our cases that is still awaiting trial – The Mushroom Cook - Erin Paterson. So bizarre. For so many reasons. Not to mention the fact it’s had a hugely detrimental impact on the poor mushroom growers here in Australia LOL. (Funny not funny). Anyway, it’s pretty fascinating .

Terrie
>>157507265

I honestly believe there is reasonable doubt that Scott, the son, did this. There are factors he alone did. The defense attorney brought out so much. I was disappointed with verdict.

Terrie
>>157503884

I totally believe the son, Scott, had done this. Defense did raise a lot of reasonable doubt. So very disappointed in this one. People stay in marriages that are fine with outside relationships. Whether the children ever approve or not. The money was the motive and the father was going to ask his son to leave/stop stealing money. This is my opinion. It was a compelling case for sure. 🌿

Terrie
>>157503152

I remember this one. So sad! The 911 operator didn’t code it correctly. I believe that caused delay to police response. Is that correct?

Terrie
>>157502975

Hi ShaRee You have picked about all the cases I touched on or follow. I agree with you. I’ll add melody farris to your list. Have a good day🌿

Terrie
>>157501978

I didn’t get to see it yet. I couldn’t believe they found her guilty with all the valid reasonable doubt. I’ll go back and watch. 🌿

Krystal

I have been thinking about this lately. And I would love dr John to go over and delve into jodi arias... there was so much back and forth over the assessments done by psychologists and therapists through her trial and I never felt like her mental state was ever really decided on. Thanks heaps from Australia :)

Terrie
>>157501714

He is an offender. He should have been cut from the partnership. It always galls me when the predator becomes the victim. What do you think?

Terrie
>>157501555

Hi David Interesting pick. I agree with you. She was such a high profile due to hear grandfather. I’ve always wondered about this one also. 🌿

Terrie
>>157501369

Hi Joshua Do you believe defense raised enough reasonable doubt that she should have been found not guilty? I’m curious on your thoughts? I didn’t watch sentencing, but the trial I did follow. 🌿

Terrie
>>157501297

💥I’m backing you on this one. Please Dr. John and Lauren for this victim. Thank you for consideration.💎

Mother of Rescues
>>157503152

Yes. 2 different dispatchers were reprimanded. It's horrendous, she could have been saved. There are several interrogation vids of Michael. Terrible liar.

Terrie
>>157500759

Hi StinkyFace I am so sorry this has happened and continues for you. I agree with you on this. I understand it due to my grandson being cut off from my husband and I. I will say prayers for you to have restoration in your relationship in the near future. 💕

StinkyFace
>>157500759

Thank you. I am sorry you are also dealing with this. I am sure there are more Gems that have experienced this, are going through it or may have even been alienated themselves. I hope Dr John and Lauren do a series on this! It’s needs to be brought out into the LIGHT so that it can be stopped. My son’s life was altered drastically and my 💔 for him. He doesn’t even know what happened to him and why.

Terrie
>>157500732

Hello Tracy I’m so glad you have joined our community. I look forward to future times to interact with you. This case you are talking about sounds very disturbing and sad. Did you convict to mental heath institute? 🌸

Tracy Wheeler
>>157500732

Hi Terri, thank you so happy to be here! Virginia was sentenced to life in prison and will have to serve a minimum term of 36 years before being considered for release.

kim Johnson

Ethan Crumbley and his parents

Missy Rehn
>>157501390

Yes!! Please do this case! There seems to be a lot of funny stuff going on in that case much like the Karen Reed trial, such as cover-up and misrepresentations from LE.

Missy Rehn
>>157500420

Yes, please! This is a crazy and heartbreaking case! I pray for those 3 children everyday. This is the case that got me into true crime.

Moon Child

One case I go back and forth on is Darlie Routier. I can’t decide if she killed her boys or was wrongly convicted. I’d love to hear Dr. John’s opinion!

Julie Holden

I'm curious as to HTC's take on Amanda Riley, aka "Scamanda" -- a woman who is serving a federal prison sentence for taking money from people to pay for her fake cancer treatments -- because her latest court filings included the opinion that she might have Munchausen, which seems like a relatively rare diagnosis.

Julie Holden
>>157518449

I believe the WM3 were wrongly convicted, but there are people who think they did it. I am curious as to why!

Julie Holden
>>157507670

YES!! This case is SO COLD, and I fear it will never be solved. There is precious little information, though. There's one book, and news articles, but I don't think Canada has anything like the open records that the US has! How unbelievable that a couple as high profile as the Shermans (the prime minister attended their funeral!) can be brutally murdered and...we'll never know why, or who did it?? And their bodies were posed in such a strange way. This case keeps me up at night sometimes!

Julie Holden
>>157501306

Ooooh, that case is crazy. I can't believe her murder was ALMOST swept under the rug.

Julie Holden
>>157500420

Ohhh, I have what I think might be a tiny bit of tea on this one, related to Billy Wagner -- whose trial is coming up though I don't know when -- and his pretty significant issues related to his father.

JenAus
>>157534414

Hi Nerida from NSW. Did you happen to see the episode that Lauren and John did on this very case? Wasn’t long after Erin was arrested. I think they will keep covering it when it goes to trial depending on other cases. Looks like it’s set for April or May which could clash with Lori’s case. Hope you’re having a good weekend in any case.

Eliza Osborn
>>157500420

That’s the dad, right? I followed the son’s trial as best I could. It was hard to get a read on him but his defense team seemed competent…it was easy to make him look victimized, too.

Hope4All

Would Dr. John talk about the comments on YouTube channels related to the UHC CEO being unalived. I need help processing why so many people think they need to protect/ignore authorities request for help locating him. Thank you!

Bonnie Schoeneman-Dilley

State of WI : Chandler Halderson brutally killed his parents burned their bodies after his parents learned that he was lying. Steven Avery and nephew Brandon Dasey (Making a murder documentary controversy ) Mark Jensen WI tried twice. I know the prosecuter in this case. Wife knew her husband was going to end her life. Wrote letter before her death Fascinating case WI Taylor Schabusiness Greenbay WI killed her boyfriend, dismembered him Great case for Dr. John to break down.

Shelby Mouton

Sabastian Rogers Madeline soto Summer wells

Drkatiedds
>>157505825

I think this is the one I wouldn’t be able to listen to, even though I love Dr John and Lauren. Just dang sad.

M Adams

I would love to see an in-depth breakdown of the Reid interrogation technique by Dr. John. It's so controversial and it seems like a deep dive into where it came from, examples of how it is used and abused, and the pros and cons would be enlightening and informative.

Drkatiedds
>>157505604

They have a picture of his face and sounds like DNA too. Hopefully a quick resolution to this one!

Drkatiedds
>>157503393

Seriously no killer more scary than this guy. If he didn’t spiral he could have gone in forever. Who knows how many victims……

Sallie Kribbet

The Joseph Ferlazzo confession. Video testimony will be completed on Monday. It’s Silence of the Lambs on steroids. Dr John, it’s in your professional lane, very likely involved SA. Shocking. Eating a hamburger while confessing to what is truly horrific. Then undressing. Dr John your thoughts?

Bree Sison
>>157501306

Right?!? Completely terrifyingly insane. Would love Dr John’s take on the department dynamics in that one. Also the Colorado dentist— specifically his email to his business partner begging “if you ever had any love for me…”

Pamela Dean

The Kansas Mothers murders.

Rebecca Israel

My votes cause I think yalls insight would be so fascinating, yall are so good at exploring the “why”: Sarah Everard Gannon stauch Pike county massacre Idaho 4

Karlien Fourie

Yes please Matthias team, I've been struggling understanding one case. I've got a very important question regarding this case aswell. The torture death of Timothy Ferguson by his own mother Shanda Vander Ark. I think this is a very important one to understand why it happened. And How?

Karlien Fourie

Just a heads up Lauren, Timothy Ferguson younger brother, which was not a victim like Timothy but the mother referred to him as little man. I have heard you call your son that, so just a heads up it might cause a demper on a cute nick name.

Wendella Merland

The Melody Farris case has so many family dynamic issues and the statement she read during sentencing made me pull my car over! I would love to have Dr. John’s insight.

Data Lisa

Update on blue barrels?

Samantha Hawkins

Hi guys are the Tim Ballard podcasts not available at the moment ? X

Joshua Sherwood
>>157501369

Hi Terrie, Yes, I definitely think there was more than enough reasonable doubt for a jury to find her not guilty or at the very least a hung jury. Of course this is just my opinion. I did watch the whole trial or at least what was aired, plus the sentencing which I highly recommend. I definitely think they have a good chance on appeal.

Jenn S.

Gabriel Wortman, the denturist who snapped and killed 22 people in 13 hours. It happened in my home province in 2020 and not very many podcasters have covered it. A media company did a podcast called 13 hours just after it happened but a lot more information came out since then. One of my coworkers, Leon, ended up taking his own life due to survivors guilt. It’s horrible and I don’t understand how anyone could do that. I’d love to hear Dr John’s analysis

Joanne Higgins

HOLLY WELLS AND JESSICA CHAPMAN, Soham, UK, 2002. Double murder of two 10 year old girls by Ian Huntley. I remember it well - assumed by most to be a stranger abduction but actually this was an 'opportunistic' murder by the fiance of the girls' school teaching assistant.

Joanne Higgins

Re Soham: as with Delphi, a devastatingly sad case. The psychology of Huntley, as well as the possible knowledge/denial of the crime by his partner Maxine Carr, is fascinating.

Joanne Higgins

I'm sure Dr John is familiar with the Soham murders. Compare and contrast with Delphi (there is a long list). After her arrest, Carr - who gave Huntley a false alibi - was so vilified by the public that she was compared to Myra Hyndley. Carr was given lifelong anonymity by the UK govt, but her story was well explored in the non-sensationalised drama 'Maxine'. Now I better understand intimate partner abuse and coercive control, I find that more questions arise about her actions and behavior in the days that followed the girls' disappearance.

Lori Ellen

The Yogurt shop murders and the Springfield 3 cases. Can you look at these ?

Tanja Skok

Family dynamics especially I think as I have a family that’s also not the easiest, but as I got older I saw right through them - in the Farris, Adelsons and Susan Powell case too - how can parents have this much influence on adult children that they even commit or conceal a murder for them?

Wendy Palms

There is a case where the motivation and background of the subject I find utterly baffling. The Katlin Armstrong, Mo Wilson, Colin Strickland gravel bike racing case in Austin Texas. There so many elements of motivation that I cannot fathom. The fact so few people from her life before moving to Austin have said anything is strange. I would love Hidden True crime to discuss the aspects of the case that seem so bizarre. The flight to Costa Rica, the plastic surgery, the "yoga instructor" appellation, the second escape attempt with the feigned injury.

Puck Grader

I’m very curious if there’s an update on the Timothy Haslett / blue barrel case.

Kirsten C

I don’t remember if I responded to this already. It’s a Canadian case, so maybe not appropriate. But Jim McLean greyhound bus murder on 30 July 2008 by Vince Li. Why on planet earth was he allowed to restart his life under a new name?

Anna Aristidou

Ellen Greenberg and the Springfield three 🫶🏻 but I’d listen to you guys cover anything xxx

Frankie van Rooyen

Would also love to hear Dr. John’s analysis of Marilyn Manson…

JuJu Beane

Anita Knutson case in Minot North Dakota. They are finally prosecuting someone.

Bonnie Schoeneman-Dilley

For all you amazing Jems, Lauren and Dr. John...I listened to a great podcast today on NPR The Hidden Brain "How Monsters are Made"

Tad Auty

I listened to an interview with one of the west Memphis three. I think he would be a great subject to speak to

Terrie

Is it possible to go back to an old case from 15 years or so ago. Susan Powell… she is still missing husband is Josh Powell. They moved from Utah-Washington State. LDS I have questions that make me curious if they ever had Hildebrandt as counselor in Utah? Josh had a porn problem. If you find this case to be helpful and something you’d like to work on that interests you, it would be great to hear your thoughts on it. There is another case I sent you from Fall City, Washington Just a couple months back Mark and Sarah Humistom along with children were killed by their 15 year old son. Can you please report on this. Do many different factors that may help parents. Possible breakdown by Dr. John if not whole case. Best Wishes for a great day. 💎

Laura Cruz

Steven stayner was kidnapped- and heroically helped rescue a fellow kidnapped child, and then Cary stayner- his little brother grows up to become a brutal serial killer. The contrasts between how these two evolved stumps me, fascinates me, and breaks my heart.

Ellen Greenberg for sure. Ruled suicide, but 4 fatal stabs and stabs up on backside she couldn’t reach herself. The doors to apt being locked from inside is not hard to pull off. Kyron hormon-step mom

Nanci McClellan

Carley Gregg … the girl that killed her mother and shot her stepfather defence team argued diminished capacity, insanity, but the state took such a hard line and called her evil put her in an adult jail pre-trial. She was ultimately convicted and given life without parole she’s only 15.

Nanci McClellan
>>157657927

That was a really interesting case. I would love a recap and Dr. John’s opinion on Susan Powell, Josh Powell.

Susan

Jennifer Rosenbaum's murder of her foster child.

Susan

Abuse and murder of Adrian Jones. Elizabeth Archibeque's purposeful neglect of her children.

Nancy Fowler

I want one hear Dr John talk about family annihilators and also about whether men do a one-time killing like Paul Hutchinson and Richard Allen

dontmicrowavecats

I know trial date was set a year from now but I hope you keep covering the Haslett case. Also, not a case but a feedback, I found the recent recidivism/high risk low risk conversation really interesting. Would love to learn more about such technical aspects.

Potter

After all the news on female teachers assaulting male students it would interesting to hear if there is a difference between male and female offenders and motive.

Sarah Brady

JonBenét Ramsey - I was a teen when that happened and since it was such a big trial and so sensationalized, it would be interesting to have a clear a look at is as could be had. It's hit the news cycle again, so it's in the zeitgeist. I'm especially interested in the psychology of the murderer as well as the family dynamic. It's one of those cases that may never be solved and so much of it was screwed up by police, but it would be interesting to have a less emotional take and more factual. Thanks! Keep up the great work!

Carter Scalf

Shanda vanderark she is a complete sicko and I'd love to hear Dr John analysis on how a human could do something so horrible. but also her son Paul and his sentencing I think he is a sadistic psycho but would love Dr johns opinion as they offered some psych testing during paul’s sentencing and sounds like he has antisocial personality disorder. The judge really got it right in this case and would love but your takes on the whole disturbing death of timothy Ferguson

Elizabeth Campbell

Since Dr John first shared his knowledge back in the super early days I have so wanted a space between all the OTT and bonkers murders to give us a better understanding of ex colonel Russell Williams. In particular could you explain about the interaction between him and his interrogator. Thanks in advance (🙏🤞) cheers

Saw a post about Suzanne Morphew the other day , was a year old.

Please do Crystal Rogers! Plus the murder before Crystal went missing of the police officer Jason Ellis in Bardstown. And as mentioned her father, Tommy Ellis. It’s bananas!

Hey all, I’m just in the midst of watching L and J digesting the United Healthcare shooter. This is fascinating. I have no awareness of the cases that are happening in the States (predominantly) until they appear on HTC. Will be really interesting to see how this plays out. Thanks Gems for your suggestions! Thanks Lauren, John and Mods for your continued coverage of these ongoing cases. You all put so much of your valuable time, skill and attention into what you do - thank you.

Ronda Husereau

Most of the cases you already cover. 😉 Jared Bridegen Idaho 4 Lori Vallow Also Brian Walshe Jennifer Dulos case And now this Luigi Mangione case. That’s what I’m following anyway. 🤣 I’d also like to know more about the 15 yo in Washington state who killed his family except the sister who escaped. Geez there are so many I’m paying attention to. 🤣

HL

It hasn’t come to trial yet, but I believe Northwest Arkansas has the next “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” in (former) psychiatrist Brian Hyatt. Over 100 civil suits pending over extreme and unnecessary physical and chemical restraints on patients, defiance of court orders to release patients, essentially wrongful imprisonment (?), and Medicaid fraud so vast that his claims tilted the ratios for the entire state. Very, very scary.

Emily Clanton

Hello! I am so curious about the Luigi Mangione case and his interest in Ted Kaczynski's writings. I think Lauren and I are about the same age, and I remember the Unabomber popping up in the news - especially when he was arrested. But I didn't know his whole story, and I couldn't think why he would be housed in supermax prison based on what I could remember. This week I've gone back to listen to the Project Unabomb podcast. It's densely packed with info, and 3 episodes in, I'm beginning to suspect that Ted's compulsion to protect nature and destroy technology were covers for his baseline cruel personality. I know we have the one quote about violence that Luigi put on his Goodreads page, but it makes me wonder about bigger concepts that may make for an interesting show - or several - when we toggle between Luigi, Ted, public opinion, and systems that were built to help people often doing everything but.

Melanie Rothrock

The documentary on Max called, Six Schizophrenic Sons. The Galvin family have 12 children and 6 of the sons have schizophrenia. They are studied in this documentary. Murder, suicide, this family went through it.

Lisa Layne

I know you've already covered some of the Idaho 4 case, I would love to see Hidden True Crime cover that trial as in depth as Delphi. I think Karen Read's case going into a retrial is interesting. The potential resentencing of the Menedez brothers...perhaps Dr. John can help us understand more about the mitigating factors and risks associated with that case.

Lisa Layne
>>157865943

The 15 year old, the Humiston family from Washington, is one I would also like to learn more about. I would love to hear Dr. John's take on the dynamics of the Wagner family from the Pike County shootings and Paris Lee Bennett and his mom, Charity.

Samantha Molloy

I think you should cover cases you both feel most comfortable with, those that you feel you can cover best vs what is most popular. People come to you for excellent reporting and analysis, over time your channel will grow exponentially for being what everyone wants to which is excellent reporting, examination and study. Falling in to what is click worthy will get you clicks yet not absolute subscribers whom shall view. I am dying after the sentencing of Richard Allen to understand and being aired (as it’s the best sunlight) as to how YouTubers swayed public opinion on the case for both their, and the legal teams gain. I think it would benefit the true crime community to look at things in the perspective of not being duped and push it forward in a positive light vs the stranglehold it had, in let’s be honest, swaying people in a direction vs presenting facts which are upmost of importance for both victims and the accused. HIDDEN TRUE CRIME in that particular case indeed! Take care and Merry Christmas ever lovely Mathias family. ☮️💟

Rena Dwelle

I've been thinking a lot about Susan Powell. It's been 15 years - and I know that there are certain factors (Josh Powell) missing from the equation, but I would love to hear what you guys think about it. I was also going to mention this newest case in New York, but you guys are already on it. 🙏 Thank you for all that you do - for breaking it down & making it make sense. My husband and I love listening to you guys - and I recently shared your show with my son, who, like Dr John, has a beautiful mind.

Kimberley Barron

Family annihilaters: Chris Watts, Josh Powell, Cheri Fuller, Robert William Fisher, John List, and Christopher Foster.

Tatum Cabrera

The Sarah Powell case. I've been listening to the Cold post cast and I'm addicted. So sad that happened to her and her boys. Please dive into the possibly that John's brother Michael might have been an accomplice.

NinaLiza

I’ve wanted an analysis of Carli Gregg for a long time. This case seems wrong to me to send her to prison for life. To be tried as an adult. And to be determined sane when she really didn’t seem to be. She’d been hearing voices since she was a child. Attorney Melanie Little knows a lot about the case as well. I know what she did was heinous but it’s like she’s just thrown away forever. What’s the good in that ? Ty. Love you guys 💜

Shelly Ransom

I've always wanted to hear John's and Lauren's thoughts on the Jennifer Dulos case. She lived very close to me and so it impacted me and my community as our circle of friends had overlap. Also, I work closely with many of the faculty at the school the children attended in New Canaan. I'm interested in Fotis' and Michelle's possible motives as well as the lawyer friend's possible motives too. Also, all of the planning that went into the crime is so diabolical. It may be just a cut and dried case, but it has really stuck with me.

Shelly Ransom

Also, I watched a documentary on HBO/Max called Crazy Not Insane, which is about Dr. Dorothy Otnow Lewis' reasearch and work with convicted murderers. I loved the doc, and am super curious about Dr. John's opinion on Dr. Lewis' research.

Diana Sanders

I am very interested in the Shanna Garder, Mario Fernandez case

Chelsea Gervan

Colonel Russell Williams in the Canadian Forces He started his crimes in his 40s and is an interesting case. Collected women’s underwear, peeping, prowling, burglarizing homes in his neighbourhood and progressed to kidnapping, rape and murder in a short amount of time!

RENE S
>>157989680

Holy, I live about 100 miles from Helena MT. I thank you for bringing this horrendous case to our attention. This is the first I’ve heard of Dr Tom C. Weiner. I don’t know why or how the medical board hasn’t taken his license. The courage and persistence of the Dr. who challenged Weiner is incredible. This needs to be investigated. I would love to have Hidden True Crime cover this. This is the definition of Hidden true crime as he hid all of this for a decade.

RENE S

Kit Alloway

This is an old case, but the murder of Shanda Sharer in 1992 was my first true crime case and still haunts me. Also, I would love to hear Dr. John's take on Casey Anthony, because I still haven't heard a convincing explanation of what went on there.

Alison Good

I'd love to hear Dr. John's analysis of Michele Truconis and her family from the Jennifer Dulos murder. Michele and her family seem to believe what they want to believe and see what they want to see.

Erik Emmer

More on Kohberger please. You did multiple deep dives when the case started. So much misinformation going around right now. Maybe Lauren is gun shy of taking on another case with tons of misinformation, but I’d love to hear more of both your thoughts on it.

CJ

I’d be very interested to hear Dr. John’s take on the Elizabeth Finch documentary or the Pelicot case in France.

Mama T

I am interested in the trafficking case such as Diddy & Alexander Brothers.

Melissa McMillen

I haven’t read to make sure this isn’t a duplicate. I would like y’all to cover the Oklahoma/kansas ladies who were murdered going to get the children for visitation.

Jacqueline Martin

An analysis of Guru Jagat the documentary on Max, Breath of Fire was fascinating. I would be interested in a more in depth analysis on her. From the interviews of her mother and step father she seemed to be from a very loving and open family.

Charlotte Castle

Lucy Letby - UK convicted infant serial killer (nurse). Some insights into her personality structure and behaviour would be helpful.

Amy Guan

Please keep covering Tim Ballard!!

Maryanne Bourgeois

The Giséle Pelicot case in France. Her daughter also wrote a book that gives some interesting background information that Dr. John would find informative. I could summarize the book as it is in french. Btw, I just realized my membership is not high enough to be in the book club. I must have been grandfathered in for awhile but not any more. Unfortunately I cannot afford the jump to the next level. It is very disappointing as the book club was an important perk to a retired person.

Carla Rowley

Lauren, I agree with Rita. I’d appreciate your’s n Dr. John’s thoughts.

Gin Leto

Yes, another perfect Mormon family man Dr James Craig, in Colorado poisons his wife and watches her die a horrific death in the ICU. Uses arsenic and cyanide., Amazing police work to solve this one. Leaves 4 children . Motive? Insurance money and a new girlfriend.

B Beautiful

Jennifer Dulos! Thank you for asking.

Nancy Fowler
>>157990152

Nice! Agree! And that one recently in Utah who killed his whole family (and then himself)

Puck Grader

The Alexander brothers from Florida. How do you get to the point to share crimes like that with your family? And 3 brothers! I get the escalation, but there had to be something seriously wrong in their upbringing.

Kathy Stay

There is ANOTHER RECENT CASE in Utah, where the couple was Apparently headed for a separation..I don’t remember the Wife’s name, but the husband, Matthew Johnson, was an Utah Guardsman, and was reported missing. He was found days/weeks later in a shallow grave out in the West Desert and she was arrested. I do know she has a different last name than he does. I’ve mentioned this case to you before. But I would ALSO like you to stay on top of the Jared Bridegan Murder Case. Those Gardner Grandparents are knee deep in it! And should ALLOW THE FAMILY to see those kids!

Nicole H.

I know the Watts case is overdone, but I’d love to hear Dr. John explain how a man with ZERO history of violence or abuse can annihilate his entire family. I think that’s why we can’t let this one go…. Scott Peterson too… zero history of violence or abuse…. How do they snap?

LER

I would love to hear your break down of the Gillette case out of Texas.

Avin

I would love to understand more about school shooters and family annihilators. The Burn Pile case would be great too.

MJ

Suzanne Simpson case in Olmos Park in San Antonio, TX. She’s still missing, presumed to have been killed by her husband Brad. I I spent half of my childhood minutes from her house where my grandparents lived for over 60 years. I cannot believe it. She left 4 children behind. Hoping you follow the case!

Amy

https://youtu.be/y4-oJEKjyUo?si=LPauOKwdQB8yTVjj This one! So many people blaming this mom. As a mom of kids with special needs it's clear to me that she tried to help him. The judgement and shaming towards parents is ridiculous. Id love to hear Dr John's analysis on this; how his mental health issues (diagnosed adhd and autism) affect the case and what's going on beyond those things. I'd also love a conversation about how inaccessible help is especially for kids.
