KILLER CASTING PODCAST - This week Lisa interviews George Kolber, executive producer and writer of the new film “Miranda’s Victim” the true story at the heart of the "Miranda Rights" case, which was the landmark Supreme Court decision protecting the rights of a suspect against self incrimination while in custody of the police. Who was the real victim at the heart of the ground breaking legal challenge?

In 1963, 18 year old Trisha Weir was on her way home from her job at a local Phoenix Arizona movie theater when she was abducted off the street, driven out into the desert and raped by Ernesto Miranda, a man who already had a history of crime including stalking and sexual assault. Police were able to zero in on Miranda, bring him into a line up where Trisha identified him and shortly thereafter he wrote a full confession to the crime without the presence of an attorney. Miranda was convicted, but later his verdict was overturned by the Supreme Court who found that his rights as had been violated. The film tracks Trisha’s journey as she tries heal from her trauma and still pursue justice. Join us for this important discussion.

#469: BONUS: 9 year old girl’s abduction in New York Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

A quick bonus episode to discuss the recent abduction in upstate New York of a 9 year old girl who thankfully was found 48 hours after she went missing. Jim and Laura weigh in on the behavior of the suspect in custody and if they think there was stalking involved in this case. While we normally do not mention the name of the offender if we can help it, in this case it is important to identify him — Craig Nelson Ross, Jr., 47 of Ballston Spa, New York — in the event there are more victims or near miss offenses out there unreported. If you think you have information about this case, please contact the New York State Police or the Saratoga County Police. We are not naming the 9 year old victim (though we know her name has been all over the news) because her parents have expressed the desire to have her life go back to being as normal as possible after this terrifying event. Join us as we discuss this case that is every parents’ nightmare. This is a fast moving story and more background information on the suspect is coming forth even as we post this episode.

#468: Convicting A Murderer | Part 1 Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

“Making A Murderer” the Netflix documentary about the 2005 murder of 25 year old Teresa Halbach near Green Bay, Wisconsin and the prime suspect in her killing Steven Avery took the world by storm in 2015 launching many viewer theories and passionate camps as to what may have really happened to the young photographer and who was responsible for her horrific murder. Avery, who had been wrongfully convicted of a violent sexual assault in 1985 was exonerated when DNA evidence proved another man was the true offender, and released in 2003 after serving 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Just two years later, Steven Avery would again be the focus of an investigation, this time for Teresa's murder. The filmmakers of “Making A Murderer” Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos (who funded the docuseries themselves long before Netflix agreed to distribute it) have always said their premise was to follow Avery's murder trial as it unfolded for their cameras based on who they had access to. They have always said they were not there to investigate the crime nor to take a side, but to document the process of the justice system as it happened in front of them. But Ricciardi and Demos came under intense criticism by those who thought they left out the most important details of the case. Now a new docu-series “Convicting A Murder” streaming on The Daily Wire website seeks to re-open the case file and show viewers what was missing. Join us as we review this engaging new series and look back on our original coverage of the original show. Real Crime Profile’s very first ever podcast was about Teresa’s murder and we have never forgotten her.

#467: Russell Brand | Part 2 Sep 30, 2023

Show notes

We continue our analysis of the recent investigative reporting by The Times, The Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatch regarding allegations of sexual misconduct both in the U.K. and in the U.S. by multi-hyphenate comedian Russell Brand. We discuss each victim who has come forward (thus far). Jim and Laura talk about what they see in his behavior as a groomer not only of the women (and one young girl) involved, but also his manipulations of others which could include their families, his colleagues, and the entertainment community as a whole.

#466: Russell Brand | Part 1 Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

Russell Brand has been known as many things over the past twenty years: outrageous stand up comedian, BBC shock jock, football blogger, provocative host of Big Brother UK spinoffs, author of several excruciatingly candid memoirs detailing his many addictions, Hollywood actor, ubiquitous guest on talk show circuits, host of award ceremonies and more recently podcaster of his own idiosyncratic autodidacticisms.

Adding to that list according to the joint investigative journalism by Channel 4 Dispatches, the Times and The Sunday Times, is alleged serial rapist and sexual abuser. Though Brand has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, several women have now gone on record with these news outlets both in print and in a stunning documentary “Russell Brand: In Plain Sight” recounting horrific predatory behavior, grooming and coercive control in extreme detail.

Join us as we discuss each victim’s account and Laura and Jim highlight what they see in his behavior. You can read about the allegations in the links below and watch a portion of the Dispatches program. NOTE TRIGGER WARNING: please exercise caution when reading or viewing material about this case.

#465: The Murder of Kristi Johnson | Part 3 Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

We finish our conversation with Cathy DeBuono, who talks about her near-miss experience with Victor Paleologus, the serial stalker, rapist, and murderer of Kristi Johnson.

Cathy tells us how Paleologus approached her at the same Los Angeles mall where he would target Kristi Johnson four years later. She describes the eerily similar ploy he tried to get her to meet him at a Hollywood Hills location on the pretext of a job interview. Fortunately for Cathy, she walked away unharmed, but she never forgot that encounter and when she heard about Kristi’s murder she came forward and was a witness for the prosecution in his trial. Since then Cathy has become an advocate for Kristi’s family in their efforts to keep this voracious offender behind bars and made it her mission to make sure all of the victims who were attacked by Victor Paleologus have their voices heard.

#464: The Murder of Kristi Johnson | Part 2 Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

We continue our conversation with Terry Hall and Kirk Johnson, who are extremely concerned that Victor Paleologus, the man who murdered their daughter Kristi, will be granted his freedom despite a rampant history of violent crimes against women. Weighing in also is Cathy DeBuono, a former actress, who had a near miss with this offender and has been involved with supporting the Justice For Kristi campaign.

Laura warns about the dangers of not properly assessing an offender like this who is up for parole and what she thinks should be done before that hearing. Terry talks about the cases of other women who were violently attacked by Victor Paleologus and given a slap on the wrist, which allowed him to be free to murder Kristi. Kirk talks about being in the courtroom during the trial, hearing all the witnesses and observing the jury, and the backroom machinations of the defense attorney. He and Terry explain why they were convinced to agree to the plea deal offered to VP and the broken promises by the DA. Join us.

Listen Now - Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

Dr. Robert Hadden was a trusted OB-GYN at Columbia University. Friendly, caring, unassuming… and behind the closed door of exam rooms, one of the most prolific sexual predators in New York City. During his 25-year career, he assaulted hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients, under the guise of medical exams. Those who tried to warn Columbia were ignored or not believed. When it appeared that no one — not Hadden, not Columbia — would be held to account, it was the survivors who undertook a decade-long fight for justice.

From Wondery, Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University is a story about power: who has it, who loses it, and what it takes to get it back.

Follow Exposed on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad-free by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondery app.

#463: The Murder of Kristi Johnson | Part 1 Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

On Feb 15th 2003, Kristi Johnson, a bright 21 year old college student, was approached at a mall in Los Angeles by convicted rapist Victor Paleologus. She had no way of knowing he was not who he said he was, no way of knowing he had seven previous convictions and had just been granted parole. All she knew was this affable, helpful seeming man who said he was a movie producer started talking to her about the entertainment industry and offered her an opportunity to apply for a job. Kristi aspired to be part of the entertainment industry, not as an actress, but maybe in PR, maybe in other capacities, she didn't know yet, she was still learning the landscape of Hollywood but she was eager to work hard. She couldn't have known that he had hunted and attacked many women before. Paleologus targeted Kristi, lured her to an abandoned location in the Hollywood Hills, killed her and disposed of her body in a ravine. Now twenty years later, this killer is up for parole. Today we are joined by Kristi's parents, Terry Hall and Kirk Johnson who tell us of those excruciating days trying to find their missing daughter and how now they are being traumatized all over again as their daughter's murderer is up for an early parole. Join us for this painful but necessary conversation about the inequities of the parole system for families of victims. Find out more about Kristi and how you can help keep this dangerous repeat offender behind bars. https://www.justiceforkristi.org

#462: Why We Believe Maya | Part 2 Aug 30, 2023

Show notes

Laura & Jim continue their discussion with Andrea Dunlop, host of “Nobody Should Believe Me” who has strong criticisms about the documentary “Take Care of Maya” based on her own background with medical child abuse. Andrea casts doubts about Beate Kowalski’s behavior toward her daughter Maya, she has doubts about the doctors who treated Maya before her admittance to Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital…in addition to doubts on Jack Kowalski’s motives for suing the hospital who separated his daughter from her family. Jim and Laura explain what they see as the deep flaws in the investigation into Beate, and the assumptions about the family's behavior. Laura and Jim examine the entire context and highlight the most important aspects of the case in their professional view.

We will post on our FB page several sources for our listeners to make up their own minds: (1) the transcript of the interview that Laura mentions that Detective Stephanie Graham conducted with Jack Kowalski about his wife Beate’s behavior and his daughter Maya’s illness; (2) Detective Graham’s deposition in which she admits her suspicion of the Kowalski's was totally based on what she learned from Dr. Sally Smith, the child abuse pediatrician; (3) the court ordered psychological evaluation of Beate Kowalski, which contains crucial written statements by another patient Jessica Stevens (and her mother Sarah Stevens) who was also treated by Dr. Kirkpatrick for CRPS , and who was also put into a medically induced Ketamine coma in the same clinic in Mexico overseen by Dr. Cantu. (He also treated Maya). The Stevens family knew Beate and Maya and have a lot of important observations.

Finally, in this episode, Andrea mentions the case of her sister Megan Carter, who was investigated for medical child abuse. It is only fair that we supply the actual opinion of the court, where the judge found no factual basis for child abuse by her sister Megan. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6567384-Megan-Carter-Court-Order.html

Andrea also mentions the NBC investigative report into her sister's case and about the doctors involved in Megan’s case. Here is that article too. https://www.king5.com/amp/article/news/investigations/mary-bridge-elizabeth-woods-child-abuse-pediatrics/281-d4fc8654-1acb-4906-b900-2034190ef2a9

This is a complicated set of cases definitely worth discussion. #RealCrimeProfile #ExpertAnalysis #BehavioralAnalysis #FBI #NewScotlandYard #Podcast #MayaKowalski #BeateKowalski #JackKowalski #KyleKowalski #FalseAccusations #MunchausenbyProxy #FactitiousDisorder #FabricatedIllness #InducedIllness #MedicalChildAbuse #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #CRPS #RareIllness #ThePainIsReal
