    True Crime Cases Presents: Diagnosing A Killer [Full Episode]

    True Crime Cases Presents: Diagnosing A Killer [Full Episode]

    Welcome to another episode of True Crime Cases with Lanie. Today, we have a special episode featuring the podcast Diagnosing A Killer. If you’re passionate about true crime and mental health, you’re in for an insightful and thought-provoking journey. Diagnosing A Killer is hosted by two sisters, Koelle and Kenna, who delve deep into the stories of killers who struggle with mental illness and disorders. Koelle is a true crime junkie and mental health advocate pursuing a career in forensic science, while Kenna has a degree in Psychology and works in the behavioral health field. Together, they break the stigma around mental health by exploring brutal crimes and the complex individuals behind them.







    In today’s episode, Koelle and Kenna tackle one of the most infamous school shootings in history: the Columbine High School massacre. Join us as we explore the tragic events of that day, the psychological profiles of the perpetrators, and the lasting impact on survivors and the community.







    Episode Description: In this gripping episode, Koelle and Kenna of Diagnosing A Killer take us through the harrowing events of the Columbine High School shooting. On April 20, 1999, two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, carried out a meticulously planned attack that left 13 dead and 24 injured before they turned their guns on themselves. This episode dives deep into the psychological profiles of Harris and Klebold, exploring their backgrounds, possible mental health issues, and the warning signs that were overlooked.







    Key Points Covered:









    * Background on the Perpetrators: Learn about Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold’s lives before the attack, their relationship, and what led them down such a dark path.







    * Mental Health Aspects: Koelle and Kenna discuss the potential mental illnesses and disorders that may have influenced their actions, breaking down the diagnoses and symptoms.







    * The Day of the Attack: A detailed timeline of the events on April 20, 1999, including the planning and execution of the attack.







    * Aftermath and Impact: The immediate and long-term effects on the survivors, families, and community, as well as changes in school security and gun laws.

    The Monster with 21 Faces

    On March 18, 1984, Katsuhisha Ezaki came home from work and decided to go for a bath. When he got ready for this bath at around 9 pm, he had utterly no idea that this dip in the tub was going to render him incredibly vulnerable in only a matter of moments.

    The Tiktok Murders: Mahek and Ansreen Bukhari

    The Tiktok Murders: Mahek and Ansreen Bukhari

    Social media platforms are designed to be addictive, and one far too common side effect of this is that many young people spend hours scrolling through their feeds, comparing themselves to others, and feeling inadequate. Conversely, though, social media sites also give individuals with narcissistic personality traits a chance to keep the focus of their profile’s content specifically on themselves. That is, showing themselves off in the most positive and enviable light possible.







    Content Warnings: infidelity, blackmail

    The phrase “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” is an idiom that dates back several centuries. Its origins can be traced to the 16th century, although the exact phrase has evolved over time. Originally, the phrase appeared in different forms, such as “you can’t eat your cake and have it” or “you can’t have your cake and eat it.” The basic meaning has always been the same: once you consume or use something, you no longer have it to show off to others, removing the possibility of having everything exactly as one wants.

    In 2020, the FBI had a shocking admission to make regarding the homicide clearance rates of police investigations across America. That year, they hit a record low, plummeting to under 50%, and it hasn’t bounced back since. This means that roughly half of all murders remain unsolved—an unsettling statistic, especially given the current surge in murders and violent crimes.Content Warnings: unsolved cases, murder of a trans woman

My favorite podcast

Great work. Very haunting. Great music too!!!

Lots of Pods ,

Thank you💛

Thank you Lanie for your support and advocacy for Oakley Carlson. We know that this was not an easy case for you to cover. Thank you for speaking up for the little girl who’s voice was striped away by the people deemed with protecting her but failed her so tragically. You are an Oakley’s Angel. -Light The Way

Toni 101 ,

Always worth listening to

The host is straightforward without being boring, empathetic without being preachy, pleasant without being jokey
