  • Fun with psychology!

    I enjoy hearing your spin on what is going on with criminals from a psychological perspective, especially with the focus on their progression from childhood. It has made me realize how many of these killers were made, not born. The new word and personal questions at the beginning are fun too!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tanya Reid aka Munchausen Mom part 1
Q: Do you think Tanya faked her pregnancy?
It is suggested that Tanya may have faked her pregnancy as a maladaptive attempt to seek attention and inclusion since her friends were also pregnant.
Doug Clark & Carol Bundy AKA The Sunset Killers pt.4
Q: Were the laws different back then? How could this be?
The counselor allegedly did not act ethically or legally, as mandatory reporting laws for child abuse had already been established before that time, meaning he should have reported Teresa's abuse.
Doug Clark & Carol Bundy AKA The Sunset Killers pt.4
Q: If Doug was calling his victims and taunting them, throwing them off, what do you think his motive was?
Doug had a sadistic part to him that enjoys witnessing the pain and suffering of others, suggesting that his main motive for calling the families was to relive the murder and hear their suffering.
Doug Clark & Carol Bundy AKA The Sunset Killers pt. 3
Q: What do you think is going on with Doug's control over the relationship?
Cortney suggests that Doug's behavior reflects a need to dominate and assert control over Carol, while she has become desensitized to violence through their interactions.
Bruce Padro AKA The Santa Gunman
Q: What is your favorite Christmas ornament that you have, that you hang on your tree?
Cortney reflects on her favorite ornament made by her grandfather, which is a special wooden ornament.
