    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 369: How To Safely Leave a Coercive Controller with Grace Stuart, Part 2

    As the violence escalated, Grace finally called 911. She describes the police officer who recognised something Grace could not yet fully see herself. She reveals why and how he identified how dangerous the abuser was.  Grace describes the successful strategy she used to leave. Laura examines why victims may continue to protect, defend or return to the abuser - and why these behaviours need to be understood within the wider pattern of coercive control by EVERYONE.  Grace shares how her ex-partner pressured her to become pregnant and how his sense of entitlement extended to her reproductive choices. Laura unpacks reproductive coercion and how perpetrators can use pregnancy and children to increase dependency, entrapment and control.  Laura and Grace explore how an abuser can use a program and those running them as another means of manipulation and re-grooming.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Successful strategies for leaving  Reproductive coercion and entrapment   Trauma bonding and re-grooming   Escalation and high-risk behaviours   The weaponisation of therapeutic and recovery language   Why victims may protect or defend the abuser   The importance of informed police responses   Why leaving is a process, not an event   Accountability versus apologies   Grace's journey from survivor to advocate   Coercive control correlates significantly with femicide, familicide, homicide, and suicide.  Never tell the abuser you are leaving.  #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/JqIfBK4k3q/?mibextid=wwXIfr  Support Crime Analyst     If you value these conversations, please follow, rate, and review Crime Analyst wherever you listen to podcasts.

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

    Aug 31

    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.

    Introducing: 'What Happened to the McStays?' from ABC Audio

    Today we’re sharing something a little different: it’s the first episode of a new podcast from our friends at ABC Audio and 20/20 called “What Happened to the McStays?” In 2010, in a quiet suburb of San Diego, a family of four seemingly vanished into thin air. When investigators searched their home, they found the family’s two beloved dogs unattended outside, rotting food left around the house and clothes strewn across the floor. The nation was left to wonder: Did the McStays leave of their own accord, or did something more sinister happen? To hear the whole story, follow “What Happened to the McStays?” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen – or listen ad-free and get the whole series before anyone else by subscribing to 20/20 True Crime+ on Apple Podcasts.

    Remastered: The Murder of Gabby Petito, Part 1

    Today March 19 2026 would have been Gabby Petito’s 27th birthday. This remastered series is to honour Gabby and ensure the warning signs of coercive control are understood. It’s the difference between life and death for so many. Determined to decode the patterns of coercive control and escalating risk, Laura deconstructs the behaviours that were visible - but too often minimised or misunderstood - with forensic precision. Join Laura for this remastered investigative series which provides news updates in the case regarding the Utah Supreme Court oral argument in the wrongful death lawsuit appeal, deeper analysis and vital learning to help prevent future harm. *** In this episode, Laura profiles Gabby Petito’s case from a behavioural, investigative and preventative perspective. Having watched the police body worn camera footage captured when Moab City Police attended a domestic violence call out, Laura saw signs of coercive control. Laura opined early on that this was a ‘murder in slow motion’ and unfortunately was proven right. Across this investigative series Laura analyzes Gabby’s social media and breaks down what she saw on camera. Laura shares the lessons from Gabby’s case so that we are all better equipped at spotting the warning signs in the future. It might just save a life. #GabbyPetito #HerNameWasGabbyPetito #CrimeAnalyst #CoerciveControl #Expert #WarningSigns #Podcast #Truecrime Clips    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4DeSl8QGD4 Sources https://www.patreon.com/posts/gabby-petito-113686407?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link https://www.patreon.com/posts/crime-analyst-my-116510211?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkhttps://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-239-american-123816186?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_fan&utm_content=web_share https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/21/us/gabby-petito-brian-laundrie-notebook-confession.htmlhttps://www.the-sun.com/news/3782530/gabby-petito-brian-laundrie-yearbook-photos-met-high-school/https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9Nm3HHuJN/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgnE460ebvgB1I30gwuLkw 2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community       Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses- There is still time to register for DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.    Register for Masterclasses       www.dashriskchecklist.com   www.thelaurarichards.com       For more insight and knowledge, advocacy and professional development join The Crime Analyst Squad.
