    Ep 378 Remastered: The Forgotten Victims, My Mum Wilma McCann, Part 2

    For decades, the women murdered and attacked by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS in this series) were overshadowed by the man who targeted them. In this remastered Crime Analyst series, Laura Richards puts the women back at the centre of the story.  Laura deconstructs the pattern of offending, escalating risk and critical opportunities that were missed, including additional attacks she believes are linked to PS and how harmful assumptions about his victims distorted the investigation.  The failures in this case were instrumental in why Laura’s specialist unit at New Scotland Yard was later created. It remains one of the most misunderstood serial murder cases of our time - and why Crime Analyst refuses to use the notorious nickname that made the perpetrator famous while the women became the forgotten victims.  Join Laura in the intelligence cell as she re-examines the case through behavioural analysis, victimology, risk and prevention.  Listen to the complete Forgotten Victims series: https://www.crime-analyst.com/case-001-the-forgotten-victims/  ************************************************************************************* In this episode Laura interviews Richard McCann, Wilma McCann's son.  Richard shares his memories about the fateful night his mother was murdered by PS, as well as who his mother was and the impact his mother's murder has had on him, his family and the other victim's families.  Richard and Laura discuss the impact of the West Yorkshire Police Service's handling of the case, how the media report on the case and the details of an important campaign you can all support.

    Ep 372: Remastered: Mica Francis: Analyzing the Federal Charges Against John Paul Miller with Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell pt 3

    Mica Francis’ case is now receiving widespread attention following the Netflix documentary The Death of the Pastor’s Wife. Laura analysed Mica’s case as it unfolded, documenting the pattern of coercive control, stalking and post-separation abuse Mica reported experiencing before her death.  30-year-old Mica Francis (Miller) was found dead from a gunshot wound at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County, North Carolina, on April 27, 2024, two days after serving her husband, John Paul Miller, with divorce papers.  John Paul Miller has since been federally indicted on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators.  In this remastered episode, Laura is joined by award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney and award-winning author Liz Farrell, co-hosts of True Sunlight, to analyse the federal indictment and break down the charges, timelines and alleged behaviours detailed within it.  Together, they examine the alleged pattern of behaviour through the lens of coercive control and stalking, including how cyberstalking can be used as a tactic of control and why the post-separation period can be particularly dangerous. They also discuss an important question: why was Mica not better protected while she was alive?  Understanding escalation and coercive control is lifesaving and life changing. Listen and share, you may save a life.

    Ep 367: What You Need to Know About Coercive Control with Grace Stuart, Part 1

    Why doesn't she just leave?  It's a question survivors of domestic abuse hear again and again. But it places the focus in entirely the wrong place.  Laura interviews Grace Stuart, survivor and host of Why She Stayed podcast, to examine how coercive control can develop gradually - and why it can be so difficult to recognise when you're living inside it.  Grace was just 20 when she met her former partner, who was 14 years older. What initially felt intense and intoxicating became a complex spider's web of grooming, manipulation and control.  Grace shares how apparent honesty and vulnerability built trust, while her boundaries were crossed incrementally and each violation explained away. Laura unpacks the pattern: the love bombing, age and power imbalance, gaslighting, isolation, sexual coercion and the gradual erosion of Grace's trust in her own instincts.  They also explore how addiction became an explanation for behaviour that Grace did not yet have the language to identify as domestic abuse.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Grooming, love bombing and accelerated intimacy   Age and power imbalances   Boundary testing and incremental erosion   Gaslighting and self-doubt   Isolation and dependency   Sexual coercion and violence   Addiction versus abusive behaviour   Why recognising the pattern matters   The question isn't why did she stay? It's what did he do that made staying make sense?  #GraceStewart #WhySheStayed #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #SurvivorVoices #SurvivorStories #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #PsychologicalAbuse #SexualCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #PowerAndControl #AbuseIsAPattern #TrustYourInstincts #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast     More from Grace Stuart Why She Stayed Podcast on Spotify   Why She Stayed Podcast on  Apple   Instagram      Clip     https://fb.watch/Jgz69E5Y1u/  Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsor Who Make the Show Possible.
