  • Killer Psyche Daily: BREAKING: Iowa Teens Plead Guilty to Killing Their Spanish Teacher

    Killer Psyche Daily: BREAKING: Iowa Teens Plead Guilty to Killing Their Spanish Teacher
    Apr 27 2023

    In 2021, 16-year-old Willard Miller struggled to keep his grade up in his high school Spanish class. But instead of creating a study plan or asking for extra credit, he decided to do the unthinkable. He called upon the help of his friend, and the pair beat 66-year-old Nohema Graber to death. Candice and her producer Julie Berke discuss the facts of the case, and what could have possibly driven the teens to murder a well-loved teacher in the community.

  • Quincy Allen: A Conversation with Karen Conti

    Quincy Allen: A Conversation with Karen Conti
    Oct 15 2024

    Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong speaks with Karen Conti, John Wayne Gacy’s former appeals lawyer, to discuss the case of Quincy Allen. In 2002, Allen went on a deadly crime spree that claimed the lives of four people across two states. He pleaded guilty in both states, receiving a life sentence in one – but a death sentence in the other. His sentence was overturned in 2022 after it was found that Allen’s history of childhood abuse and mental illness were not considered by the sentencing judge – and, most recently, Allen was resentenced to life in prison instead. Candice and Karen discuss Allen’s background and the factors that led to a successful appeal in his case.


    Karen's book, "Killing Time with John Wayne Gacy: Defending America’s Most Evil Serial Killer on Death Row" is out now and available on Amazon and most book retailers. To learn more about Karen and the book, please check out www.karenconti.com

Not your average true crime podcast

If you’re looking beyond true crime as an entertainment, this is your podcast! Kandace uses her experience as a psychiatric nurse and an FBI profiler to give her audience an in-depth psychological analysis of infamous killers.
