#549: Geo-Forensics 1

Did you know that despite high rates of victimization, only 10.1% of Black serious violence victims received assistance from victim service agencies from 2010-2015?Alarmingly, nearly 90 percent of victims of a serious crime did NOT receive assistance in the aftermath of their trauma. Jim, Laura and Lisa have a very real conversation about what’s going on and wrong with Richard Washington and Marianna Wells of the Building Bridges project (BBP) - a program of the National Center for Victims of Crime.Richard and Marianna explain that BBP seeks to address underreporting, improve service provision and rectify disparities in treatment and services for crime victims from communities of color. This project promotes reconciliation through a productive and healing dialogue about what law enforcement should know in order to achieve effective encounters with victims of crime from marginalized communities. Laura asks about black women experiencing domestic abuse, sexual violence and/or stalking and what work BBP are doing to hear their voices and engage them. Jim draws an interesting comparison between UK and US police services and Lisa asks what the practical, grassroots work on the ground looks like.

We continue our analysis of a serial killer who raped and murdered at least 33 young men and boys. Jim points out how in this case and others, law enforcement assumed that all sex between gay men is consensual, and as a result they often did not take seriously reports of rape. If they had, they might have stopped JG sooner when victims came forward accusing him of rape. Laura explains why it is so important not to give sensationalistic monikers to these offenders and why at Real Crime Profile we do our best to not name them. Lisa asks about the post execution conspiracy theory posited by some, that JG was part of a large child sex trafficking ring. #DevilinDiguise#Peacock#VictimsMatter #SerialKiller #Profiling #BehavioralAnalysis++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

We continue our coverage of a serial killer we will only refer to as JG who murdered at least 33 boys in the Des Plaines, Illinois area -- some of whom have never been identified. Jim talks about the brazen arrogance of some psychopaths like JG who believe they can mingle and be buddy-buddy with law enforcement yet not be discovered for their crimes. Laura wonders why law enforcement at this time was not being more proactive when boys and young men were going missing in the same area.You can watch the Peacock docu-series about this offender called "Devil in Disguise".++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Please support our sponsors.

In our new series, we deconstruct prolific serial killer John Gacy (JG) who raped and murdered at least 33 teenage boys in the Chicago area in the late 70s. Throughout this series we refer to him as JG as unfortunately this killer has received so much notoriety in life behind bars that it has obscured the names of the victims he killed and we do not want to contribute to that. We want to reframe this case and honour the victims. Jim and Laura analyze JG's behavior and explain how he was able to target his victims and avoid discovery. We discuss the many mis-steps of law enforcement and the criminal justice system that allowed JG to offend for as long as he did. Across our series we use the Peacock documentary called “Devil in Disguise” as a framework for our discussion and analysis, so check it out and listen to our series or you can just dive into our episodes.

Just over a month ago, a scathing report was released confirming that top health officials knew for years about a pedophile pediatrician sexually abusing Native American boys at at least two Indian Heath Service hospitals. Though many of his co workers reported their fears about him to their superiors, Stanley Patrick Weber was allowed to practice for almost 20 years, abusing untold numbers of young indigenous boys — some as young as eight years old — before his conviction in 2020. One witness who was finally called to testify in the trial, Nurse David Marsh, is our guest today. David talks to us about what it was like at the dysfunctional Pine Ridge Hospital in South Dakota with Weber. This IHS hospital which is supposed to serve the tribal community, may still be harboring other predators who are still practicing today.

(You may be surprised!) Lisa talks about the spectacular voice casting in the film (Ethan Hawke, Riley Keough, Peter Sarsgaard), as Gyllenhaal’s character gets call after call and is drawn into a particularly desperate situation. Jim gets the chance to ask Katie and Susan, as seasoned professionals, what they thought of the 911 calls relevant in the tragic death of Gabby Petito.TRIGGER WARNING: In today’s episode Katie and Susan share their real experiences on calls with people who are suicidal.

Today we talk about the tragic accident that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while working on the set of the movie “Rust” in New Mexico. Hutchins was accidentally shot during a scene rehearsal by actor Alec Baldwin who had been handed what he thought was a “cold” gun, which discharged as he was practicing drawing the weapon from his holster. To help us understand on-set gun safety protocol, and what should or should not have happened in this case, is Jon Barton, who is an Independent Weapons Expert and Professional Military Consultant for Film and Television. Jon has worked on projects such as J.A.G., Punisher, NCIS, and Criminal Minds. Details are still emerging, and many questions still need answering but one thing is for sure — Halyna was failed miserably by many people who’s job it was to keep her, and everyone else on the set, safe. We want to express our condolence to Halyna’s family. She left behind a husband of 16 years, and young son. By all accounts she was a brilliant up and coming DP. Named one of the American Society of Cinematographers' (ASC) Rising Stars in 2019, she told American Cinematographer magazine, "You need to develop your own vision, but the key to a successful film is communication with your director and your team." Halyna was a graduate of the American Film Institute who have established a Memorial Scholarship in her honor. https://www.afi.com/halyna-hutchins-scholarship-fund/SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!SIMPLISAFE - Imagine if every crime could be halted before it happened?
