Profiling Evil

The federal murder trial of former Stoughton, Massachusetts, police officer Matthew Farwell has entered its second week, and testimony from October 19 and 20 has exposed more disturbing details about his relationship with 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore, the young woman prosecutors allege he murdered in February 2021. FBI testimony has revealed thousands of messages documenting their relationship, Sandra's pregnancy, Farwell's reaction to becoming a possible father, and the surprising results of DNA testing that identified someone else as the biological father of her unborn child. Jurors have also heard from Sandra's physician, who described a young woman preparing for motherhood, and a police dispatcher who testified about Farwell's angry reaction when someone reported his relationship with Sandra.
Let’s discuss the significance of digital evidence, possible grooming and coercive control, how investigators evaluate staging, and why the defendant's belief about paternity may matter more than the actual DNA results. We'll also look at what police knew about this relationship, what happened during the original death investigation, and the questions federal prosecutors still need to answer.

Ted Kaczynski spent nearly two decades terrorizing America with a bombing campaign aimed at people he believed represented industrial and technological power. Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, allegedly carried a short-handwritten statement that police said reflected his motive and mindset. Public reporting also showed Mangione had praised parts of Kaczynski’s manifesto online, even while saying Kaczynski belonged in prison.
In this episode, we compare the Unabomber’s crimes, ideology, target selection, language, and behavioral presentation with the alleged writings and conduct tied to Mangione. This is not about glorifying either man. It is about understanding how grievance can harden into identity, how identity can become mission, and how one violent offender may borrow from another without copying him point for point. Kaczynski’s manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, is publicly available online, and Mangione’s alleged handwritten statement has also been publicly circulated and reported on, though it is much shorter and should be treated more cautiously because it did not function like a formal book-length manifesto.

I’m in Ontario as we get ready to open The Psychology of Cults tour in Richmond Hill. Today I want to examine two Canadian criminal cases that couldn’t look more different on the surface. Roch Tear - EEE - OH called himself Moses and led the Ant Hill Kids into isolation, violence and murder. In Toronto, Church of Scientology operatives infiltrated government offices, including the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ministry of the Attorney General. Neither crime happened in Richmond Hill itself, but both tell us something important about what can happen when loyalty to a person or an organization becomes more important than law, evidence, family and ordinary human decency. I’ll share what investigators can learn from each one, how the criminal courts handled them, and why those lessons matter to families today. And please come and see me on October 21 in Richmond Hill. Tour information is at PsychologyofCults.com.

In episode two of Mapping Evil, recorded in Australia with journalist Tori Shepherd, we pull apart the spider's web of cult control, starting with Mike's own case: the Zion Society, a polygamous doomsday cult operating in Ogden, Utah. It began when a woman walked into his office and said her cult was sexually abusing children.
The spider at the center was Arvin Shreeve, a 61-year-old landscaper and self-proclaimed prophet who built his compound in plain sight, buying up houses in a closed community as they came for sale. Early GIS mapping tracked which homes the group was swallowing, house by house. When 70 officers finally hit those homes at once, 32 children went into protective custody and investigators uncovered thousands of counts of sexual assault. Twelve people went to prison, including Shreeve. We also cross the Pacific to Australia's most infamous cult, The Family under Anne Hamilton-Byrne, and to NXIVM, where Keith Raniere's self-help empire ended in a 120-year sentence.
Through all three cases, Mike lays out what actually defines a cult: it's not the beliefs, it's the structure, everything pointed inward at the leader instead of outward at the people. He shares the red flags that matter, secrecy first among them, and practical advice for protecting vulnerable people and teaching children to question everything.

Welcome to Mapping Evil, the special 13-episode Profiling Evil series recorded in a studio in #Australia, where I'm joined by award-winning journalist #ToriShepherd. In this first episode we take on Robert Ben Rhoades, the truck stop killer, a sexual sadist who turned his big white 18-wheeler into a traveling torture chamber. Rhoades told one victim he'd been doing this for 15 years, and investigators believe they still haven't found them all.
We walk through his victims, including young missionaries Patricia Candice Walsh and Douglas Zyskowski, and Nicole Tuttle, who found the courage to bail out of his truck in Houston with chains still hanging off her, leading to his arrest. Then the geography, because that's where this case was finally cracked. With more than 18,000 separate police departments in America and almost no information sharing in those days, Rhoades crossed jurisdictions faster than anyone could connect the dots, until Mike mapped his truck stop records, weigh stations and fuel stops against missing persons across the country. The pattern suggests anywhere from 50 to 300 victims.
We close in Australia with the Flinders Highway, what Tori calls a serial place rather than a serial person, looking at the 1982 disappearance of 20-year-old backpacker Toni Jones and the murders of the MacKay sisters, and why victimology tells Mike these were not the work of one killer.
