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.

The Cost of Chaos in Lori Daybell’s Pro Se Disaster | Profiling Evil
What happens when a woman accused of murder—already convicted of killing her children, conspiring to kill her husband’s wife, and murdering her former spouse—decides to act as her own attorney in a courtroom? In this gripping investigation, we break down why Lori Vallow Daybell’s decision to represent herself in her Arizona trial wasn’t just ill-advised—it was a disaster. From her bizarre objections to courtroom outbursts steeped in religious delusion, Lori turned her trial into a sideshow, all while costing Arizona taxpayers upwards of $100,000 in housing alone. But the real price? Delayed justice, retraumatized families, and the erosion of courtroom integrity. Using Abraham Lincoln’s timeless quote—“He who represents himself has a fool for a client”—we unpack the sobering realities of pro se defense in serious criminal cases. Why did the court allow it? Should there be limits when the stakes involve life, death, and public safety? Join us as we explore the legal failures, financial burdens, and emotional toll of Lori Daybell’s self-representation. We’ll also discuss potential reforms to prevent future courtroom catastrophes and preserve justice for victims like JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, Charles Vallow, and Tammy Daybell. #loridaybell #chaddaybell #jjvallow #tyleeryan #charlesvallow #tammdaybell #brandonboudreaux #alexcox #melanieboudreaux #zulemahpastenes #cultmom #doomsdaycult #doomsdaymom #latterdaysaints #prosecosts #proselaw #prosetrials #selfrepresentation #profilingevil #truecrime #daybelltrial #ldscult #justicematters #courtroomchaos #highprofiletrial #cultpsychology #murdertrial #tragedy #deathpenaltycase #mentalcompetency #familyannihilator
