Real Crime Profile

On August 12, 2021, Gabrielle Petito and Brian Laundrie were pulled over outside of Moab, Utah. The police officer, whose body cam was on, initially stopped their van for speeding and reckless driving. He realized Gabby was distraught and tried to establish what had happened and why Gabby was so upset. He was soon joined by another officer who had been responding to a possible domestic violence call in town where a witness said he saw a couple driving away in a white van, with a woman named Gabby. What happens next on the body cam footage is disturbing to watch. Jim and Laura breakdown the behavior of Gabby, Brian and the officers in that 1 hour and 17 minute tape and discuss the police interaction and other intervention opportunities and strategies that should have been considered. What these officers desperately needed was the DASH risk assessment tool, that Laura created, so they could have asked the most important questions, and really understood Gabby's answers.DASH Risk Model www.das

Jim and Lisa react to the recent testimony at a Senate hearing where USA gymnasts Simone Biles, Mckayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Maggie Nichols, vividly and emotionally recounted not only the sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of Larry Nassar, but also the failure of the FBI to investigate their repeated reports of his behavior. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we are posting our reflections on the attack on our country on 9/11/2001, twenty years after the immense tragedy. Lisa was in New York City that day, Jim was at Quantico. They both recount their experiences that day and in the chaotic days afterward. Jim talks about his new podcast on Audible, called "After The Fall" which sheds new light on the events leading up to the horrific terrorist attack.Listen here: https://www.audible.com/pd/After-the-Fall-Podcast/B09F4KFZVBCorrection: Lisa meant to say Windows on the World, not The Rainbow Room, when referring to the restaurant in the World Trade Center.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Amy Over was a high school senior at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado in 1999. She was on the Girls' Basketball Team and her mentor was Coach Dave Sanders. She was in the school cafeteria on April 20th when two armed students entered and started shooting. Amy found herself hiding under a table and then running for her life. At the end of their rampage, her coach and twelve other students were dead...and hundreds of lives were never the same again. We interview Amy, who’s podcast Confronting: Columbine reflects upon the over twenty years since the Columbine High School tragedy. In her podcast, she asks many hard questions about what really happened that day …. and the days and years that followed. The grief for the murdered victims lives on… as does the trauma for the survivors. You can listen to this 10 episode podcast (plus bonus content) on Wondery. https://wondery.com/shows/confronting/episode/5970-bonus-greg/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and Californi

We continue our interview with Dublin police Sergeant, Misty Carausu who was key in getting Denise and Aaron cleared of any potential charges and bringing the true offender to justice. Misty takes us step by step on her relentless search for more information on MM, based on her instinct that he had been involved in other crimes. She talks about her numerous calls to other police departments, calls to the FBI, follow ups on other similar cases and complaints, collecting all kinds of evidence — yet many times her efforts were brushed off by the very people who should have been welcoming her leads. Laura and Jim share with Misty their theories about the primary motivation in the case. LINK TO VICTIM F BOOKhttps://amzn.to/3fPBbo2SUPPORT OUR OTHER SHOWS! CRIME ANALYST - Across The Forgotten Victim series, Laura Richards analyses and deconstructs the murders and attacks on lone women committed by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS throughout the series) in the north east of England in the 1960s a

We interview former Sergeant Misty Carausu of the Dublin Police Department, who became instrumental in connecting the dots in Denise and Aaron’s case. While investigating a home robbery, assault and attempted kidnapping of a family in Dublin, California (40 miles away from Vallejo) , Sergeant Carausu became concerned that the suspect they had in custody for that crime might have committed other home invasions. One seemingly small clue that she noticed — a strand of blonde hair stuck to a pair of blacked out goggles — led her on a dogged search for more victims. Misty talks about searching the offender’s home in South Lake Tahoe and paraphernalia that she found which led her to ask more questions about other potentially linked crimes. The clip used in this episode can be viewed in its entirety here:https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/survivors-called-girl-case-reflect-life-changing-experience-77964075LINK TO VICTIM F BOOKhttps://amzn.to/3fPBbo2We are so thankful for our sponsors.

Investigative reporter and co-author of the book “Victim F”, Nicole Weisensee Egan deep dives into the tactics used against Aaron when he was interrogated by police. Jim and Laura are shocked that the detective who handled this case so badly actually received the “Law Enforcement Officer of the Year” Award that year. Jim weighs in with what he thinks was going on with the initial police investigation.  Laura reads a reprehensible quote that Detective Matt Mustard said to Denise’s mother and also points out that the misogynistic attitudes evidenced by some in the Vallejo police should disqualify them from dealing with vulnerable victims.LINK TO VICTIM F BOOKhttps://amzn.to/3fPBbo2You can hear the links used in this episode in their entirety here:https://abc7news.com/gone-girl-kidnapping-case-vallejo-kidnap-hoax-matthew-muller/1335950/https://abcnews.go.com/2020/video/police-cast-doubt-aaron-quinns-story-denise-huskins-78095427We are so thankful for our sponsors

We interview award-winning journalist Nicole Weisensee Egan, who had asked Laura to review the book "Victim F" which she co-authored with Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn. Nicki was intrigued to know Laura and Jim’s opinion on the case. Nicki also tells us how many loose ends and unanswered questions still remain because no one has ever really properly investigated the crime. LINK TO VICTIM F BOOKhttps://amzn.to/3fPBbo2LINK TO CHASING COSBY THE BOOKhttps://amzn.to/3AzekW1LINK TO CHASING COSBY THE PODCASThttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts/dffd76b6-f14b-4ed0-a2d6-c45bad63a0b2/chasing-cosby?refMarker=dm_wcp_af_r&ref=dmm_acq_mrn_d_ds_rh&ref=dmm_acq_mrn_d_ds_rh&You can hear the clips used in this episode in their entirety at this link:https://abcnews.go.com/theview/video/denise-huskins-aaron-quinn-recount-kidnapping-discuss-book-78134213We are so thankful for our sponsors.

We wrap up our follow-up conversation with Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn with Jim and Laura digging deeper into their case. Jim discusses the unusual dichotomy of the offender’s behavior as both sadistic in nature, and also presenting as a power-reassurance rapist — which could also indicate multiple offenders in this crime. Laura talks about how dangerous perpetrators are able to get out of prison due to both the mistakes by law enforcement and also their cunning in gaming the system. You can read Denise and Aaron’s book, co-written with investigative journalist Nicole Weisensee Egan "Victim F" available now on Amazon. https://amzn.to/3dhzvCJ#VictimF#DeniseHuskins#AaronQuinn#NicoleWeisenseeEgan#believevictimsCLIPS PLAYED IN TODAY’S EPISODE CAN BE HEARD IN THEIR ENTIRETY HERE:Denise Huskins, Aaron Quinn Want Vallejo Police to "Make Changes to Be Better" | The Viewhttps://youtu.be/Z0Hc03N9l-E 'Gone Girl' Case: Break in Bizarre Kidnapping – ABC Newshttps://youtu.be/IhZxY4cPOwoPLEASE SUPPORT OUR

Denise and Aaron continue telling us their harrowing story.  They describe the humiliation and callous treatment that law enforcement put them through -- from interrogating Aaron for eighteen hours, to giving Denise the incredibly disrespectful (and FALSE) moniker of "Gone Girl". Aaron and Denise also talk about how they were saved by the determined detective work of Misty Carausu -- who was working in a completely different county on a different case. Yet she managed to connect the dots Vallejo police could not (or would not). Lastly, the couple talks about the healing process of writing the book "Victim F" together.#victimsmatter#denisehuskins#aaronquinn#victimfbook#nicoleweisenseeeganThe clips you hear excerpted in our episode can be heard in their entirety here:ABC - 7: Survivors of Vallejo 'Gone Girl' case respond after police apologize for calling them liarshttps://youtu.be/I_SXgJFxSl4ABC - 7: California police department ap

This episode is our first in a series about an extraordinary case called "Victim F." In March 2015, Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn awoke at 3am to a nightmare. Armed men bound and drugged them, then abducted Denise, warning Aaron not to call the police or she would be killed. Aaron agonized about what to do. Finally he put his trust in law enforcement and dialed 911. Instead of searching for Denise, the police accused Aaron of her murder. Days later, when Denise was let go, instead of pursuing her abductors, they turned on her, accusing her of faking her own kidnapping. In their book, "Victim F" Aaron and Denise recount the horrific ordeal that followed. It is an unbelievable story that is all too true.

We continue pointing out the many contradictions in the Quillette podcast episode covering the HBO Docu-series "Allen v Farrow".

We continue our talk with Professor Joan Meier who appeared in the HBO Docuseries "Allen v Farrow". She explains how "Parental Alienation" was used in the custody case against Mia Farrow and how common that tactic is in Family Court. It is important to note that Woody Allen has denied all allegations against him and he has never been charged nor convicted of any crime. Trigger warning: This episode will contain clips from the PBS docuseries "Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories" which Prof. Meier also appeared in. There are explicit descriptions of child sex abuse that are very disturbing.
