Profiling Evil
The Profiling Evil Podcast delves into unsolved criminal cases from around the world, peeling back the layers of human behavior to reveal what drives evil. We look into the mind of the predator—their motivations, their victim selection, and the patterns that expose them. Each episode goes beyond headlines, examining how investigators identify red flags, connect the dots, and capitalize on the very errors offenders believe will never be found.
Your host, Mike King, brings over four decades of experience in criminal justice and behavioral analysis. A retired law enforcement executive, Mike served as Chief of Staff to Utah Attorney General Jan Graham and Weber County Attorney Reed M. Richards. He began his career at the Ogden Police Department, where he worked patrol, motor enforcement, and SWAT before moving into investigations where he led task forces that hunted serial predators and violent offenders.
Mike’s expertise earned him national recognition. He served as co-chair of the FBI’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) National Advisory Board, directed UTAP, the Utah Criminal Tracking and Analysis Project, and supported intelligence operations during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.
After retiring from public service, Mike joined the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), where he spent years consulting with police agencies around the globe on intelligence gathering, emergency communications, and major event management. In 2024, he retired again, this time to focus full-time on Profiling Evil and its growing community of true crime investigators, students, and enthusiasts.
Mike is an internationally recognized speaker, trainer, and adjunct professor, as well as a visiting scholar at multiple universities. He’s authored several acclaimed works on crime and human behavior, including:
· Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing
· Deceived: An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult
· She Knew No Fear
· Who Killed King Tut?
· Predators: Who Are They and How Do We Stop Them?
· Profilers
Mike’s investigative insight and behavioral expertise have been featured on Court TV, NewsNation, Law & Crime Network, Dr. Phil, History’s Greatest Mysteries, and 60 Minutes Australia, where his calm, analytical style helps audiences understand the why behind the world’s most chilling crimes.
At @ProfilingEvil, you’ll find deep dives into real investigations, expert analysis of offender behavior, and lessons in situational awareness and safety. It’s more than storytelling, it’s about learning how to recognize, understand, and ultimately disrupt evil.
