Banfield Trial: FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke Examines The Accused | What His Actions Really Reveal

Banfield Trial: FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke Examines The Accused | What His Actions Really Reveal

True Crime Today brings you an exclusive behavioral analysis of Brendan Banfield from retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. Dreeke led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and has spent over three decades reading people. His question for this case: does the prosecution's theory actually make behavioral sense?

Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator — a federal agent who built cases for a living. Prosecutors say he used that expertise to plan an elaborate double murder: creating fake FetLife profiles, luring a stranger to his home, coordinating with his au pair mistress, staging the crime scene as self-defense. But if that's true, why did Banfield leave a framed photo of himself and Juliana on his nightstand for police to find? Why did he call 911 and give a detailed statement?

Dreeke breaks down what deception looks like in real time — and whether Banfield's post-offense behavior fits the profile of a calculated killer. He examines the gun purchase prosecutors call premeditation. He analyzes the McDonald's detail where Banfield allegedly waited nearby. He explains what the 911 call should reveal about whether Banfield was telling the truth.

The affair is central to the motive theory. But affairs happen constantly without murder. Dreeke identifies the escalation factors that would need to be present for someone to go from infidelity to allegedly orchestrating a double homicide — and whether they appear in this case.

This is behavioral analysis you won't hear in the courtroom. Dreeke gives his expert read on what Brendan Banfield's actions actually tell us.
