Real Crime Profile

October is Domestic Violence awareness month and Laura updates us on how the term “coercive control” is being used more frequently when describing domestic abuse in the media - but, it is not being correctly nor fully defined. Lisa shares her take away from reading Casey Hammer’s book “Surviving My Birthright” which contains more shocking disclosures about growing up in the wealthy and powerful Hammer family. Laura talks about “emotional dysregulation” and how victims like Casey and Gabby Petito are often misidentified when they are suffering from it. #HouseOfHammer #CaseyHammer #ArmieHammer #DiscoveryPlus #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #VictimsMatter #CoerciveControl #YesWeWillKeepSayingIt. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We continue analyzing Courtney Vucekovich’s description of her relationship with actor Armie Hammer as documented in Discovery plus’ “House of Hammer”.Laura explains the differences between “macro-grooming” and “micro-grooming” and how she believes Hammer desensitized his intimate partners, slowly pushing their boundaries to get what he wanted. We also discuss the differences between fantasy and reality when it comes to healthy sexual behavior and the importance of consent. #houseofhammer #HerNameIsCourtneyVucekovich #ConsentMatters #Grooming #ExpertAnalysis #HouseofHammer #CaseyHammer #ArmieHammer #lovebombing #WomenMatter #DomesticAbuse #CoerciveControl #SerialAbuser #generationalentitlement #DiscoveryPlus #docuseries *************** SUPPORT OUR OTHER SHOWS ***************CRIME ANALYST PODCAST - You’re interested in real crime?

In 2015, Casey Hammer, the only grand-daugher of billionaire businessman Armand Hammer, self published a memoir called "Surviving My Birthright," where she shared shocking secrets of the violence, addiction and abuse growing up in the powerful Hammer family. Despite her compelling story, no-one paid Casey's disclosures much attention until years later when her nephew, actor and Hollywood Golden Boy, Armie Hammer, made headlines with his increasingly bizarre, violent text messages, Tiktok videos and domestic abuse allegations from his former intimate partners -- which led to the new three part docu series on Discovery plus "House of Hammer".Jim and Laura forensically deconstruct Hammer's disturbing behavior and the details revealed by several women who found themselves targeted by him. Note: Armie Hammer has not been charged with a crime and he denies any allegation of abuse or rape and his lawyers have said that “any interactions” with any person were consensual.#HouseofHammer #CaseyHammer #Arm

When Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus released their book "Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland", which recounted in excruciating detail their decade of captivity at the hands of pedophile serial rapist abuser Arial Castro, every news outlet clamored to be the first to interview them.

So she did what she did best, after meticulous research she gave the publishers her best pitch, and assurance that Amanda and Gina would be given the "dignity and compassion" to share their experience.

We continue our analysis of Anthony Templet, the 17 year old boy who shot and killed his father, Burt - some would say in cold blood, others would argue it was manslaughter. Turning to focus on Theresa, his mother, whom Anthony was stolen from when he was five years old, Laura and Jim discuss the massive problems in the family court system. Lisa asks about law enforcment's deliberations between self defense and second degree murder charge in this case. #hisnameisAnthonyTemplet #ijustkilledmydad #netflix #documentary#childabuse #domesticabuse #deprivationisabuse #expertanalysis CRIME ANALYST PODCAST - You’re interested in real crime?

To the outside world, Burt Templet seemed a devoted husband and father — as well as a successful businessman and generous provider for his family. So when his 17 year old son Anthony shot him in the head, in their Baton Rouge, Louisiana home, the community was shocked.  Many assumed that this was a murder in cold blood by a ruthless entitled teenager who lacked all emotion. But what if the opposite were actually true? What if Anthony was a long suffering victim, who finally defended himself from a serial abuser?  This is the question at the heart of the Netflix three part documentary “I Just Killed My Dad”.  Laura and Jim analyze the red flag behavior in this case, which has some huge twists and turns.

On July 24th, 1984, Brenda Lafferty and her 15 month old daughter Erica were brutally murdered in their American Fork, Utah home. Their deaths shocked this small, tight knit community of largely Latter Day Saints church members who could not imagine such a crime occurring in their town. What shocked them further was the identity of the killers.In the best selling book "Under The Banner of Heaven" investigative journalist Jon Krakaur dug deep into Brenda and Erica's case, and provided the extraordinary historical context that (he believes) led the killers to target an innocent young mother and her child. Now, Academy Award winning screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black has adapted the story for a Hulu series starring Daisy Edgar Jones as Brenda and Andrew Garfield as the detective who is sworn to bring her killers to justice.

Sania had posted on TikTok about her struggles of a painful divorce and its stigma in her South Asian community.Sania's vengeful ex-husband stalked her and flew from Georgia to Chicago and shot her dead.And we discuss the murder of Tirany Savage, her son Dayton and her mother Kim by he ex Bo Eugene Savage on July 10 2022. During the time that Tirany was trying to leave her husband Bo, she saw his behavior escalate and she was fearful. Tirany called 911 on at least two occasions, had him removed from the home and begged a judge for a protection order to protect herself and her teenaged son and filed for divorce. Her husband had been threatening suicide, procured a gun and threatened to kill her. So why did Judge Troy Daniel deny the order? What happened next to Tirany, Dayton

Connie Dadkhah lived alone in her Rancho Penasquitos condo and had neighbors who cared about her. When they saw an angry man pounding on her front door, tampering with her electrical box, breaking into her balcony window and heard what sounded like a violent fight, they placed 12 calls to 911. It took the police over two hours to respond...and when they did, you will not believe what happened.

More than two months after the mass shooting of 19 children and 2 teachers inside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, the Austin American Statesman and KVUE news outlets decided to release shocking security video footage from within the school during the shooting. Families of the victims had been begging to see the video privately themselves in order to understand what really happened during those crucial first minutes and beyond. Now the footage is out for the world to see and learn from the many mistakes made by law enforcement that day.

Laura and Jim conclude their analysis of the "confession" written by Brian Laundrie about the death of Gabby Petito. Here is the letter in its entirety. “Gabby, I wish I was right at your side, I wish I could be talking to you right now. I’d be going through every memory we made, getting even more excited for the future. But [we] lost our future. I can’t [live] without you. I’ve lost every day we [could’ve] spent together, every holiday. I’ll never get to play with [illegible] again. Never go hiking with TJ. I loved you more than anything.

Laura and Jim analyze the “confession” written by Brian Laundrie about his version of events leading to, in his words, his “ending” Gabby Petito’s life. Do they point out red flags of deception, gaps in timeline and inconsistencies in spatial relationships?

We continue our cross analysis of the HBO Max scripted version of "The Staircase" starring Toni Collette, and how it stacks up to the true events in the death of Kathleen Peterson. Laura and Jim both question the 911 calls made by Michael Peterson compared to how it was depicted in the show. Laura focuses on the gap in the timeline of these calls. We also discuss the three scenarios leading to Kathleen's death that the scripted show dramatized.

On December 9, 2001, Kathleen Peterson died a terrible death, suffering for over 2 hours, bleeding from scalp lacerations and blunt force trauma while she lay in the stairwell of her North Carolina home. Her husband Michael Peterson was convicted of her murder after a contentious trial where all sorts of theories about who or what actually killed Kathleen were posited. Had Michael killed her in a fit of rage as the prosecution argued? Or did she fall down the staircase in a freak accident as claimed by her husband?  The world became fascinated by this case due to a documentary called “The Staircase” which chronicled the run up to Michael’s trial as well as his post conviction appeals through 2018. HBO Max has made the docuseries into a scripted show, starring Toni Collette as Kathleen and Colin Firth as Micheal. The RCP team looks back at our original coverage of “The Staircase” documentary and compares it with the new show. How do both projects stack up to the truth? Join us.#hernamewaskathlee
