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.

  • John Wayne Gacy, The Killer Clown. Bob Motta Reveals His Buried Secrets | Profiling Evil
    Mar 3 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with Bob Motta II, Illinois criminal defense attorney and host of Defense Diaries, to talk about Buried: Inside the John Wayne Gacy Investigation. We’re diving into one of the most infamous serial killer cases in American history. Bob is the son of John Wayne Gacy’s defense attorney. After Gacy passed away, Bob gained access to never-before-heard recordings, documents, and case materials that had remained buried for decades. In this conversation we’ll talk about the investigation, conviction and the secrets that are now being exposed. This isn’t another retelling of the “Killer Clown” myth. It’s a sober, evidence-driven discussion about Gacy and the systems that failed to stop him sooner.

  • Nancy Guthrie & YouTube Detectives, When Content Collides with Police Work | Profiling Evil
    Feb 28 2026

    In big cases like the Nancy Guthrie investigation in Tucson, the story unfolds in two places at once, on the street where detectives are grinding through evidence, and online where theories spread fast and loud. In this episode, Mike King sits down with retired LAPD Captain Paul Vernon, a longtime Compstat and Real Time Crime Center leader, to talk through what online creators, “citizen detectives,” and even mainstream media can unintentionally do to witnesses, juries, tip lines, and the pace of an investigation. This is a practical conversation for true crime fans who want to follow cases responsibly, without getting played by rumor, rage-bait, or ransom theater.

  • Kouri Richins Court Update! Old Murders, New Murders, Same Evil Playbook | Profiling Evil
    Feb 27 2026

    This week for Feedback Friday, we’re going to the Utah Arizona line to talk about Pipe Spring National Monument, also known as Winsor Castle, a place that looks peaceful today but has a real crime history tied to killings, retaliation, forced displacement, and hiding from law enforcement. Then we’ll bring that same lens back to Utah and the first days of the Kouri Richins murder trial, where prosecutors say money and control were the resource, and the defense says the story is being misread. We’ll walk the fort, the victims, and the behavior, then I’ll hit the biggest testimony moments so far and what to watch for next. Then, #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries joins to discuss

    the trial. #PipeSpring #WinsorCastle #Arizona #Utah #Fredonia #Kaibab #Paiute #OldWest #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimePodcast #TrueCrime #CrimeTok #CourtTV #MurderTrial #Poisoning #Fentanyl #MoscowMule #KouriRichins #EricRichins #RichinsTrial #Kamas #ParkCity #SummitCounty #Investigations #ColdCase #CriminalBehavior #Forensic #911 #Bodycam #MedicalExaminer #FirstResponders #Justice #History

One of the best most informative and channels out there!! Mike has quite a history in law enforcement and has interviewed serial killers such as Richard Ramirez and makes every part of a story informative!

Great True Crime Channel!

Already a big fan of Profiling Evil from YouTube fame. Enjoy listening on my commutes to work.

As someone not in law enforcement, I appreciate how Mr. King explains the legal requirements to solve a case. I enjoy learning about these cases in a factual presentation rather than a more dramatic presentation. Mr. King's personality comes through in the conversations. The interviews flow and the listener (in my opinion) gets the impression that the guest and Mr. King have been friends or associates for a length of time. This genuine quality comes through in both these podcasts and the YouTube presentations. I hope y'all like it!

Trustworthy and Interesting True Crime discussions
