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.
Mike is an internationally recognized speaker and trainer, adjunct professor and visiting scholar at several accredited universities. He is a violent crimes and criminal behavior subject-matter expert who has authored, “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?” and “Profilers.”

Profiling Evil Podcast with Mike King
Karen Read, Guilt by Evidence or Doubt by Design? | Profiling Evil
As the Commonwealth lays out its case against Karen Read—complete with DNA evidence, digital data, physical trauma, and her own alleged confessions—questions continue to mount about whether the investigation itself is what may derail a conviction. In this episode, we explore the forensic science behind the mitochondrial DNA match to John O’Keefe, the timeline of events pulled from vehicle telematics, and the damning behavioral clues left in Karen Read’s own words. But despite this compelling narrative, the defense has painted a vivid picture of police misconduct, investigative tunnel vision, and a potential cover-up involving members of law enforcement. Could this beautifully woven conspiracy theory create enough emotional doubt in jurors to lead to an acquittal—or another hung jury? Let’s break down the cold, hard evidence—and the equally chilling possibility that it may all be lost in a storm of mistrust. Don’t miss this in-depth look at one of the most controversial trials in America. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #ForensicEvidence #DNAAnalysis #MitochondrialDNA #JusticeForOKeefe #KarenReadTrial #MassachusettsCrime #LegalDrama #CrimeSceneInvestigation #PoliceMisconduct #ReasonableDoubt #ProfilingEvil #CourtroomPsychology #InvestigativeFailures #VehicleTelematics #HomicideInvestigation #CoverUpOrTruth
