Real Crime Profile

Laura, Lisa and Jim wish you all a Happy Holiday season during this trying year. They all make recommendations for shows to watch and listen to as 2020 wraps up

Laura and Jim sit down with filmmakers Cecilia Peck (Director and Showrunner) and Inbal B. Lessner (Executive Producer, Writer and Editor), of the incredible STARZ doc-series “Seduced: Inside the Nxivm Cult”. Laura and Jim talk about the red flags they saw right away with this dangerous so-called “self help group” which slowly indoctrinated, groomed and coercively controlled its members. Cecilia and Inbal were able to get special access to Catherine Oxenberg and her daughter India for this series. India spent seven years inside the Nxivm cult before her mother was able to get the media and law enforcement to bring it and its leader down.You can watch this amazing documentary series on STARZ with a free trail by going to this link https://amzn.to/3naY1YV.https://seduceddocumentary.com #STARZ#Seduced#Insidethenxivmcult#nxivm#Catherineoxenberg#hernameisIndiaoxenberg#hernameissarahedmonson#hernameistabbychapman#hernameisasheleymcclean#hernameisdeboragiannone#hernameiskellythiel#hernameisnaomigibson#CoerciveContro

We continue our conversation with Jan Broberg, whose story of child sexual abuse and kidnapping at the hands of a close family friend is told in the Netflix documentary “Abducted in Plain Sight”. Laura and Jim explore how this offender was allowed to continue to target young girls even after he was caught. Lisa wonders if this offender is different from others we have covered in that he took Jan away from their community to another country rather than hiding in plan sight.#hernameisJanBroberg #netflix #abductedinplainsight #stoleninnocence #CoerciveControl #GroomingWe are so grateful for our sponsors this week.

Lisa, Jim and Laura, sit down with a very special guest this week. In 2013, Lisa cast actress Jan Broberg on an episode of Criminal Minds, as a mother in despair that her son had been kidnapped. What Lisa didn’t know was that in real life, Jan herself had been kidnapped, not once, but TWICE by a close family friend. Years later, Jan would tell her incredible story in the Netflix documentary “Abducted in Plain Sight”. Jim and Laura break down this offender’s behavior and his grooming of not only Jan, but of her family and an entire community. Laura teaches Jan a very important term she had never heard of before regarding her own case...“coercive control”. You won’t want to miss this.You can watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLC-Fgfz6n4 #hernameisJanBroberg#netflix#abductedinplainsightWe are so thankful to our sponsors for their generous support that allows us to bring you our show.

The RCP team analyzes the horrific story of Christopher Duntsch, a neurosurgeon whose arrogance and recklessness in the operating room left a trail of victims — patients who first came to him to alleviate their pain, ended up maimed and in some cases, dead.

Lisa wonders why Duntsch was able to get away with his botched surgeries for so long — when so many medical professionals and patients reported him.
