About this listen

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.

  • Wife & Lover Dump Husband Near Wild-West Burial Spot | Profiling Evil

    Wife & Lover Dump Husband Near Wild-West Burial Spot | Profiling Evil
    Apr 14 2026

    We’re visiting Echo, Utah, a place that held onto murderous secrets for over one-hundred years. I’m starting in the old cemetery near one of the most historic corridors in the American West, then walking into the strange and still unresolved story that seven human skeletons were discovered under a saloon after Echo’s railroad boom faded. Summit County’s own history page confirms that after the railroad moved on, seven skeletons were found under one saloon, and the surviving Echo Church and School still stands nearby as a witness to that era.

    Then we’re coming forward to the present day where prosecutors in Summit County have now charged Reina Chavez-Sandobal and Francisco Santos-Morales with murder in the death of Juan Manuel Sanchez, whose body was found nearby. Investigators say the victim was drugged, beaten, transported, and dumped and the charging documents outline text messages, surveillance video, a hammer, a blood-stained blanket, and a body-disposal effort that looks far more rushed and disorganized than the alleged suspects are suggesting.

    What ties these stories together is not just geography. It’s behavior. One case reflects how the dead could vanish in a frontier boomtown and stay hidden for generations. The other shows how hard it is to make a body disappear in the modern world of cameras, license plate readers, forensic pathology, and digital evidence. This case tells us something about offender planning, panic, concealment, and why dump sites are often more revealing than killers think.

  • Rex Heuermann Pleads Guilty, What Long Island Serial Killer Admission Really Means | Profiling Evil

    Rex Heuermann Pleads Guilty, What Long Island Serial Killer Admission Really Means | Profiling Evil
    Apr 11 2026

    Rex Heuermann has now pleaded guilty, and that changes the conversation in a big way. In this episode, I sit down with documentary filmmaker Josh Zeman to break down what happened inside the courtroom, what this plea may reveal, and what questions still hang over the Long Island Serial Killer investigation. We talk about the victims, the plea, the behavioral significance of a confession like this, and the possibility that investigators may still be working toward answers in cases that remain unresolved. We also dig into the geography of the case, why location matters, how dump-site patterns can tell a story, and what mapping can reveal when you start looking at victim recovery sites, travel routes, hunting areas, and offender comfort zones.

    Most important, we keep the focus where it belongs, on the victims and the families who have waited years for answers: Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, and Karen Vergata. This case has never just been about one arrest. It’s been about behavior, victim selection, concealment, geography, and whether this plea closes the door, or opens new ones. If you’re following the Gilgo Beach investigation, the Rex Heuermann case, or the role crime mapping can play in understanding offender movement and body recovery patterns, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss.
