Randy Kraft - The Scorecard Killer Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Randy Kraft, known as the Scorecard Killer, one of the most prolific and elusive serial killers in California history. For over a decade, young men vanished along Southern California’s freeways, their deaths often mistaken for accidents or overdoses and their cases scattered across jurisdictions that never compared notes. What investigators finally uncovered was a handwritten list of 61 cryptic entries that reduced human lives to a word or two – one that detectives are still decoding today. Candice examines how an outwardly ordinary man killed for years in plain sight, and why some of the names on his scorecard are only now, decades later, finally being given back to the families who lost them.

Joran van der Sloot - The Murder of Natalee Holloway Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the case of Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch national who spent 18 years lying his way through one of the most watched missing persons cases in modern history. In the spring of 2005, 18-year-old Natalee Holloway vanished on the last night of a graduation trip to Aruba – and for 18 years, the man last seen with her told so many stories that the truth became almost impossible to chase. Candice examines how a privileged upbringing and a psychopathic indifference to consequences produced a man who killed twice, extorted a grieving mother, and performed innocence for the world…until the truth finally ran out of places to hide.

Charles Cullen - The Angel of Death Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Charles Cullen, a registered nurse who killed patients across nine hospitals and healthcare facilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for 16 years. He was not a monster anyone recognized– rather, he was the quiet nurse who covered every shift, moved efficiently through darkened ICUs, and was trusted completely by the patients whose lives he held in his hands. Candice examines how a childhood defined by loss, relentless bullying, and a profound sense of powerlessness gave rise to a killer who found the one place he felt in control – and how the institutions that should have stopped him kept passing him on instead.

Scott Peterson Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Scott Peterson, the California man convicted of murdering his pregnant wife Laci on Christmas Eve 2002. On the surface, Scott Peterson had everything -- a beautiful wife, a home, and a baby boy on the way -- and none of the red flags that typically appear in a killer's past. Candice explores what was hiding beneath Peterson's flawless exterior, and how unchecked psychopathy, narcissim and indfidelity culminated in one of America's most notorious crimes.

Listen Now: My Mom’s Murder Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Lauren Malloy was a baby when her mother, Lori, was murdered in East Providence, Rhode Island. For thirty years, no one told her. Everyone said Lori died of natural causes. Then a stranger sent Lauren a message — and the lie collapsed. Now Lauren is investigating her own mother’s murder. She’s recorded hundreds of hours of interviews with law enforcement, family, childhood friends, and people who won’t stop contradicting each other. Every answer opens a darker question. Every person she trusts seems to be hiding something. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the people she trusts may be the ones with the most to hide. A 10-part true crime investigation hosted by the victim’s daughter. Lauren’s mission: to finally uncover the identity of Lori’s killer.

Lindsay Clancy Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse who strangled her three young children: five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan, before attempting to take her own life. On the surface, January 24th, 2023 looked like an ordinary Tuesday: a doctor's appointment, kids playing in the snow, a family running errands. Twenty-five minutes later, it was a crime scene. In the months before that night, Lindsay's family watched her unravel under a rapidly worsening psychiatric condition, even as she kept seeking help and cycling through new prescriptions. Drawing on her own decade as a psychiatric nurse before the Bureau, Candice examines the excruciating question at the center of the case, whether Lindsay Clancy is a criminal or a woman consumed by severe postpartum mental illness; and why, twenty-five years after Andrea Yates, America is still struggling to tell the difference.

Lori Vallow Daybell Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Lori Vallow Daybell, the Idaho mother whose apocalyptic religious beliefs concealed the murders of her own two children. For months, nine-year-old JJ Vallow and seventeen-year-old Tylee Ryan were missing, and Lori offered the world nothing but shifting stories and eerie calm. Behind her, an inner circle of relatives, self-styled prophets, and her new husband had convinced each other that the people closest to them were consumed by evil spirits, and that removing them was salvation, not murder. But beneath the couple's Rexburg property, the truth was buried in shallow graves. Candice examines how doomsday theology, love bombing, and a trail of sudden deaths built the psychological architecture for one of the decade's most chilling family crimes, and why, even after conviction, the full scope of what ""Doomsday Mom"" believed still unsettles investigators.

Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty: What Happens Now? - A Conversation with Josh Ritter Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong breaks down the stunning legal turn in the case of Luigi Mangione, the man who admitted to shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk in December 2024. After 21 months of pleading not guilty in every courtroom, Mangione stood before a federal judge and confessed -- with no deal, no agreement, and no promises from prosecutors seeking life in prison. Candice is joined by former Los Angeles prosecutor and legal analyst Josh Ritter to unpack why a defendant would plead guilty to everything and get nothing in return, whether New York's double jeopardy laws can shut down a separate state murder trial, and what this case reveals about a country increasingly willing to celebrate an admitted killer as a folk hero.

Richard Ramirez Part 2: An Interview with Frank Falzon Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong revisits the case of Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, through the eyes of the man who cracked it. While Los Angeles dominated the headlines, it was a San Francisco homicide inspector named Frank Falzon who first put a name to one of history's most feared serial killers. Candice sits down with Falzon to trace the unlikely chain of evidence -- a stolen bracelet, a borrowed car, a reluctant informant -- that led investigators straight to Richard Ramirez, and to hear firsthand what it was like to come face to face with the Night Stalker himself.

Frank Falzon's memoir, San Francisco Homicide Inspector 5-Henry-7, is available at: https://www.amazon.com/San-Francisco-Homicide-Inspector-5-Henry-7/dp/B0B72QWXLK
