Crime Analyst

Laura Richards makes the world a safer place for women and girls! She explains coercive control and ‘murder in slow motion.’ Her decades of experience & training in crime analysis and prevention come through in every episode. Her 20+ episode series on Gabby Petito is a great place to start. “Stay curious and listen to your gut”

This podcast is excellent! Laura’s thoughtful and thorough analysis of these cases is absolutely fascinating and educational. We all need to better understand and beware of how insidious controlling behavior is. Honestly, I’m obsessed. Thank you Laura 🙏

I’ve followed Laura Richard since the first episode of Real Crime Profiles. I’ve learned so much from Laura. But I have to say that I 100% believed Blake Lively but minds can be changed. Laura’s bias now I see she’ll never give any benefit to men. I didn’t really either to be fair but I will not jump to conclusions either. I just can’t trust Laura anymore. She says trust your gut, be curious asks questions, and always trust your instincts. I’m trusting mine and you have zero room for men. You say look at power dynamics and profile. Laura what happened to you? No woman can lie? Look at history build a profile you say but not in this case. Nope! Thank you for all you’ve done but a man’s entire career and you’re already so biased. Unfollow here, unfollow Instagram. Definitely no vote for top Podcast.

I have been a fan for a long time but Laura’s episode with Sara Edmundson today was so good! I appreciated that Laura had taken the time to read her book and was well informed which made for a great interview.
