Profiling Evil Podcast with Mike King
The Profiling Evil Podcast delves into unsolved criminal cases from around the world. We look into the mind of the predator and talk about crime motivation, victim selection and behavior. Some episodes examine how investigators work and how they capitalize on mistakes made by the offender.
Your host, Mike King, retired after a distinguished law enforcement career where he served as Chief of Staff to Utah Attorney General Jan Graham and Weber County Attorney Reed M. Richards. He learned policing in the Ogden Utah Police Department where he served in patrol, traffic (motors) enforcement and SWAT. As an investigator, he led task forces and pursued serial predators throughout his career.
He served as co-chair of the FBI’s ViCAP (Violent Criminal Apprehension Program) National Advisory Board and as Director of UTAP, the Utah Criminal Tracking and Analysis Project. During the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, he worked in the intelligence section.
After retirement from public service, he went to work at Environmental Systems Research Institute where he consulted with law enforcement around the world on intelligence gathering, real-time crime reporting and major event management. He retired in 2024 to pursue Profiling Evil fulltime.

Profiling Evil Podcast with Mike King
Cult Member Trained to Obey, Punished for Complying | Profiling Evil
The story of Moretta Johnson raises a difficult question: Can someone be both a victim and a perpetrator? Johnson, a child bride of FLDS cult leader Samuel Bateman, was sentenced for her role in the abduction of children from state custody. But at just 19, was she truly responsible for her actions—or was she simply following the only reality she had ever known? This case forces us to examine the disturbing ways cults shape their followers, turning the abused into abusers. How should the justice system handle young people who were raised in these coercive environments? Should they be punished as criminals, or rehabilitated as victims? 🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into the dark world of cults, true crime, and the justice system.
