episode Why TRAUMA Memories Come Back in Pieces, with Dr. Judy Ho | Profiling Evil artwork

Why TRAUMA Memories Come Back in Pieces, with Dr. Judy Ho | Profiling Evil

When survivors begin talking about abuse years later, the story often does not come out in a clean timeline. It can come back through sensory details, body reactions, fragmented memories, and moments that leave spouses, families, and even investigators struggling to understand what they are hearing. In this episode, Mike King sits down with Dr. Judy Ho to unpack what trauma can do to memory, why triggers feel so physical, why disclosure can unfold in pieces, and how well-meaning loved ones sometimes contaminate the process by pressing too hard or asking the wrong kinds of questions. This is a conversation about real-world survivor behavior, the emotional strain on spouses, and the criminal justice challenge of trying to seek truth without turning disclosure into suggestion. If you follow true crime, work around victims, or love someone who is finally starting to talk about trauma, this episode will help you make better sense of what you’re seeing. #TrueCrime #Trauma #TraumaMemory #Dissociation #PTSD #SurvivorVoices #VictimAdvocacy #TraumaInformed #CriminalJustice #ForensicPsychology #CoerciveControl #CultAbuse #ChildAbuse #SexualAbuse #DelayedDisclosure #MemoryRecall #TriggerResponse #HealingTrauma #ProfilingEvil #DrJudyHo #DrHo ======================================== CrimeCon Discount Code: https://crimecon.regfox.com/cctw3ntys1x (In Voucher/Coupon area, enter: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/ ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

episode Baby Emmanuel Haro Deserves More Than a Plea Deal | Profiling Evil at CrimeCon artwork

Baby Emmanuel Haro Deserves More Than a Plea Deal | Profiling Evil at CrimeCon

Seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro was reported missing in August 2025 after his mother, Rebecca Haro, claimed he had been kidnapped during a diaper change in a Yucaipa parking lot. That story triggered a community search, media coverage, and public fear. But investigators later said the kidnapping story did not hold up. Emmanuel’s father, Jake Haro, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, assault on a child under eight causing death, and filing a false police report. He was sentenced on November 3, 2025, to 25 years to life, with additional time tied to other offenses. Rebecca Haro just pleaded guilty to felony child abuse causing great bodily injury to a child under five, involuntary manslaughter, and accessory after the fact. She was sentenced to 12 years and 8 months in state prison. Emmanuel’s body has still not been recovered. I’m recording this short video from CrimeCon because this case has really troubled me. The courts got guilty pleas and Sentences were imposed. But the one thing Emmanuel still has not received is the dignity of being found, recovered, and properly laid to rest. This episode is not about rage for rage’s sake. It’s about accountability. It’s about child protection. It’s about what happens when a child disappears, the public is pulled into a false story, and the justice system closes cases while a baby remains hidden. #EmmanuelHaro #RebeccaHaro #JakeHaro #BabyEmmanuel #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #CrimeCon #ChildAbuseAwareness #JusticeForEmmanuel #MissingChild #TrueCrimeCommunity #VictimAdvocacy #CourtroomAnalysis #CriminalBehavior #Crimecon #MikeKing ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

episode Is Keeping This Job Worth LOSING Your Mind?! | Profiling Evil artwork

Is Keeping This Job Worth LOSING Your Mind?! | Profiling Evil

What does control actually look like when you strip away the labels and get down to behavior? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Hassan to talk about the BITE Model, one of the most practical frameworks for understanding how controlling people, high-demand groups, and manipulative systems gain influence over others. Dr. Hassan draws from his own experience of being recruited into the Unification Church, often referred to as the Mooney’s cult, and explains how the work of psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton helped him understand what had happened to him. From there, he breaks down the four parts of the BITE Model, Behavior, Information, Thought, and Emotional control, and explains how these methods can slowly override independent thinking and trap people in unhealthy systems. This conversation goes beyond cults. It helps us think through coercive control in families, relationships, organizations, religious groups, and other environments where power gets used to dominate rather than serve. If you’ve ever asked yourself how intelligent, capable people can get pulled into harmful systems, this interview gives you a clear, grounded place to start. Watch all the way through, because Dr. Hassan also explains how people can begin to test what they’ve been told, step back from controlling influence, and start reclaiming their freedom. #ProfilingEvil #StevenHassan #BITEModel #CoerciveControl #UndueInfluence #CultPsychology #MindControl #ThoughtReform #RobertLifton #BehaviorControl #InformationControl #ThoughtControl #EmotionalControl #TrueCrime #CrimeAnalysis #CultSurvivor #FreedomOfMind #HighControlGroups #ForensicPsychology #criminalbehavior ======================================== Check out Dr. Steven Hassan at www.FreedomOfMind.com ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

Barry Morphew Newest Motion, Will Behavior Be Allowed in Trial? | Profiling Evil

Barry Morphew is preparing to stand trial for the alleged murder of his wife, Suzanne Morphew, whose disappearance on Mother’s Day weekend in 2020 became one of Colorado’s most watched criminal investigations. The first prosecution was dismissed in 2022, but after Suzanne’s remains were found in 2023, prosecutors brought a new first-degree murder indictment in 2025. Barry Morphew has pleaded not guilty, and the trial is scheduled to begin October 13, 2026, with proceedings expected to last up to six weeks. In this episode, we break down a defense motion asking the court to exclude what it calls “so-called victimology testimony.” The motion argues that labels like “victimology,” “pattern of life,” “behavioral analysis,” and “profiling” risk turning investigative context into unfair courtroom testimony. The prosecution is likely to see this same evidence as critical context for Suzanne’s life, her routines, her relationship, her communications, and the circumstances around her disappearance. Let’s examine why behavior matters in homicide investigations, why prosecutors want it included and defense attorneys see it as dangerous. #SuzanneMorphew #BarryMorphew #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #ColoradoCrime #MorphewTrial #Victimology #BehavioralAnalysis #PatternOfLife #CriminalBehavior #ForensicAnalysis #CourtroomAnalysis #JusticeForSuzanne #MissingPersons #GIS #DomesticHomicide #CriminalInvestigation #BAM #Tranquilizer #Colorado #TrueCrimePodcast #CrimeAnalysis ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

Convicted Killer Alex Murdaugh Gets a New Trial, the Legal Collapse of Trust | Profiling Evil

The South Carolina Supreme Court has reversed Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions and ordered a new trial, but this decision does not declare Murdaugh innocent, and it doesn’t erase the evidence presented at trial. What it does say is that the jury process was contaminated by improper influence from Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. What a horrible consequence of bad choices. Let’s break down the Court’s ruling point by point as I look at what Hill allegedly said to jurors, why the Court applied the Remmer presumption of prejudice, why the State failed to overcome that presumption, and what the Court said about using Murdaugh’s financial crimes as motive evidence in a second trial. This is still a case about murder, money, power, courtroom procedure, and public trust. But more than anything, this ruling is a reminder that even the most hated defendant is still entitled to a fair trial. #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #MurdaughMurders #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #RebeccaHill #SouthCarolinaSupremeCourt #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #JuryTampering #NewTrial #LegalAnalysis #CriminalBehavior #ProfilingEvil #CrimeNews #TrialWatch #JusticeSystem #Moselle #Lowcountry #TrueCrimeCommunity ======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26 ======================================== Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL Referral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL ======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com ======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
