The Profiling Evil Podcast delves into unsolved criminal cases from around the world, peeling back the layers of human behavior to reveal what drives evil. We look into the mind of the predator—their motivations, their victim selection, and the patterns that expose them. Each episode goes beyond headlines, examining how investigators identify red flags, connect the dots, and capitalize on the very errors offenders believe will never be found.

Your host, Mike King, brings over four decades of experience in criminal justice and behavioral analysis. A retired law enforcement executive, Mike served as Chief of Staff to Utah Attorney General Jan Graham and Weber County Attorney Reed M. Richards. He began his career at the Ogden Police Department, where he worked patrol, motor enforcement, and SWAT before moving into investigations where he led task forces that hunted serial predators and violent offenders.

Mike’s expertise earned him national recognition. He served as co-chair of the FBI’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) National Advisory Board, directed UTAP, the Utah Criminal Tracking and Analysis Project, and supported intelligence operations during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.

After retiring from public service, Mike joined the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), where he spent years consulting with police agencies around the globe on intelligence gathering, emergency communications, and major event management. In 2024, he retired again, this time to focus full-time on Profiling Evil and its growing community of true crime investigators, students, and enthusiasts.

Mike is an internationally recognized speaker, trainer, and adjunct professor, as well as a visiting scholar at multiple universities. He’s authored several acclaimed works on crime and human behavior, including:

· Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

· Deceived: An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult

· She Knew No Fear

· Who Killed King Tut?

· Predators: Who Are They and How Do We Stop Them?

· Profilers

Mike’s investigative insight and behavioral expertise have been featured on Court TV, NewsNation, Law & Crime Network, Dr. Phil, History’s Greatest Mysteries, and 60 Minutes Australia, where his calm, analytical style helps audiences understand the why behind the world’s most chilling crimes.

At @ProfilingEvil, you’ll find deep dives into real investigations, expert analysis of offender behavior, and lessons in situational awareness and safety. It’s more than storytelling, it’s about learning how to recognize, understand, and ultimately disrupt evil.

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

    Why TRAUMA Memories Come Back in Pieces, with Dr. Judy Ho | Profiling Evil
    Jun 6 2026

    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.

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

    Baby Emmanuel Haro Deserves More Than a Plea Deal | Profiling Evil at CrimeCon
    Jun 2 2026

    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.

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

    Is Keeping This Job Worth LOSING Your Mind?! | Profiling Evil
    May 30 2026

    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.
