Behind every murder is a motive. From revenge to jealousy, from greed to control, identifying what drives people to kill is essential in bringing them to justice.
For thirty years, Consultant Forensic Psychologist Kerry Daynes has unravelled the minds behind the darkest crimes. Now, in The Profiler, she takes you inside some of Britain’s most disturbing murder cases, presenting the full stories with the clarity of a seasoned documentary maker, but also stepping outside the narratives to do what she does best: getting inside the mind of each perpetrator to reveal what made them act the way they did.
More than just true crime, these are journeys into the darkest extremes of human behaviour — with someone who has actually sat across the table from killers and studied them up close.
New episodes every week. Cases drawn from the last three decades of British criminal history.

In December 1996, the Midlands was gripped by what looked like a "road rage" murder. Lee Harvey, 25, was stabbed to death on a quiet country lane. His fiancée, Tracie Andrews, bruised and battered, appeared before the cameras to describe a crazed stranger with "mad, starey eyes."
But the story began to fall apart. In this episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes examines how Andrews built a seemingly perfect cover story, performed it for the nation, and was then found out.
In this episode
The night of the attack, and the account Andrews gave police
The extraordinary press conference, held just 36 hours after the murder
The moment in front of the cameras that made one seasoned journalist think: "I think she did it"
A volatile, on-off relationship, and what police and friends uncovered about it
The witnesses, forensic evidence and physical clues that dismantled her story
The trial at Birmingham Crown Court, the guilty verdict, and the confession that came only after her appeal failed
Andrews's release in 2011 and her new life under a new identity
Kerry's psychological insights
Did Andrews get "a little too comfortable" and forget to play the victim?
Why Kerry thinks the press conference deserves a "Best Criminal Acting Performance" shortlist
What Andrews's overdose might say about love, guilt and fear of exposure
Why Kerry says her "self defence" claim doesn't stand up
Why some couples should simply never be together

Kerry Daynes, forensic psychologist and presenter
Ian Johnston, then Detective Superintendent with West Mercia Police and senior investigating officer on the case
Rod Chaytor, former Midlands correspondent for the Daily Mirror

On the night of March 3rd, 2021, during the Covid lockdown, 33-year-old Sarah Everard was walking home from a friend's house in south London. She never arrived. Days later, detectives raced the last person seen with her to one of their own: a serving Metropolitan Police officer named Wayne Couzens.
In this episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes pieces together Sarah's final journey and examines the failings that let her killer hide in plain sight inside Britain's biggest police force.
In this episode
The eerie, near-empty London of lockdown, and why the phrase "she was just walking home" struck such a chord with the public
The dashcam and bus footage, and the car registration that led detectives to Couzens
Couzens's bodycam interview, and the "gang" story he invented when police pressed him
How deception experts read his body language and his words
His careful planning, the "kidnap kit" and the rehearsal drive
The vigil on Clapham Common, the police response, and the sentencing at the Old Bailey
What came out afterwards about his earlier offences, and the Met's promises of reform
Kerry's psychological insights
Why Sarah's disappearance gripped the country, and affected the everyday safety calculations so many women make
The warning signs colleagues reportedly saw, and why Kerry calls him a "ticking time bomb"
What his planning tells us about the fantasies he had likely nursed for years
How an egocentric killer can compartmentalise and put on a show of normality
Featuring
Kerry Daynes, forensic psychologist and presenter
Steve Keogh, former Scotland Yard homicide detective
Dan Rivers, ITV News
Minnie Stephenson, Channel 4 News

The Entwistle Murders
Saison 2 · Épisode 6
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 28:47
In January 2006, police in Hopkinton, Massachusetts found the bodies of 27-year-old Rachel Entwistle and her nine-month-old daughter Lillian. They were lying in bed, arm in arm, shot at close range. Rachel's British husband, Neil Entwistle, was already 3,000 miles away.
In this episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes profiles a man who seemed to have it all, but who had actually built his life on lies.
In this episode
How a Nottinghamshire coal miner's son and an American exchange student met at York University and built a life together
The "affluent professional" image Entwistle projected, and the debts, fake job and eBay fraud investigation behind it
How Entwistle carried out the murders - using his father-in-law’s gun – before driving to Boston Logan Airport and boarding a flight back to England to stay with his parents.
A recorded phone call with a Massachusetts state trooper, in which Entwistle says he was too upset to call 911 and hasn't even cried yet
The murder weapon, the DNA evidence, and the double life uncovered on his computer
His arrest at a London tube station, the trial, and the courtroom moment that stunned observers
Kerry's verdict on what drove him, and why she doesn't believe his story about suicide
Kerry's psychological insights
Kerry steps out of the story to examine his behaviour, including:
His flat, matter-of-fact tone on the police call
Why his claim that he considered suicide doesn't ring true
What his courtroom reaction really signified
The fantasy, entitlement and emotional detachment that led him to destroy his family

The Murder of Betty Guy
Saison 2 · Épisode 5
mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 26:41
In November 2011, 84-year-old Betty Guy died at her home in Johnston, Pembrokeshire. Her daughter, Penny John, called 999 to say her mother had passed away after a battle with cancer. A doctor certified natural causes, and Betty was cremated four days later. Nobody suspected a thing.
Then, four years later, police received a call out of the blue. An ex-partner of Betty's grandson, Barry Rogers, claimed he had admitted to suffocating his grandmother with a pillow. Other former partners told detectives the same story.
In this episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes looks at how what should have been the perfect crime unravelled. She also asks what the evidence reveals about the two people at its centre, and why Rogers couldn't keep quiet about it.
In this episode
The 999 call police pulled from the archive, and the two details in it that raised alarm bells
What petechiae are, and why those tiny marks mattered so much
How police plan and plant a covert listening device
The secretly recorded conversations between Rogers and his mother, including the moment he says "jackpot"
Kerry's analysis of the power dynamic between mother and son, and why Penny John kept repeating that her mother died "of old age"
The bug detector story that didn't add up
The 2018 trial at Swansea Crown Court and the puzzle of the missing motive
Guests

On 31 July 2021, five-year-old Logan Mwangi's body was found in the River Ogmore in South Wales, shortly after his mother, Angharad Williamson, reported him missing. In this episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes examines how Logan was killed by Williamson, her partner John Cole, and Cole's teenage son Craig Mulligan, following a campaign of abuse rooted in Cole's racism towards his mixed-race stepson. Drawing on police bodycam and interview footage, and behavioural analysis from body language expert Dr Cliff Lansley, Kerry unpicks the calculated cover-up that followed Logan's death, and the catalogue of missed warning signs that preceded it.
Key psychological themes
This episode explores: child abuse and 'Cinderella Syndrome' • coercive control and complicity • deception detection and micro-expressions • racially motivated abuse • blame-shifting and the 'cutthroat defence' under interrogation • institutional failure in child protection

Jack Shepherd:
Saison 2 · Épisode 3
mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 31:53
On 8 December 2015, 24-year-old Charlotte Brown died in the Thames after a first date with web consultant Jack Shepherd ended in his speedboat capsizing near Westminster. In this episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes examines how Shepherd, driving drunk at nearly three times the speed limit with no life jackets and a disconnected safety kill-cord, tried to blame Charlotte for the crash, then vanished before his trial, living under a changed identity in Tbilisi for months while the case unfolded in his absence. Drawing on police, journalists and Shepherd's own defiant TV interviews, Kerry unpicks the verbal slips and self-serving language of a man who, even when confronted a second time over a violent offence, could only ever really think about himself.
Key psychological themes
This episode explores: narcissism and self-serving deception • victim-blaming and diffusion of responsibility • recklessness and disregard for safety • flight from justice and identity change • verbal slips and language analysis • alcohol-fuelled violence and impulse control
Contributors featured in this episode
• Kerry Daynes — Forensic psychologist, presenter, and author of Dark Side of the Mind and What Lies Buried.
• Chris Davis — Metropolitan Police detective sergeant who investigated the case.
• Dan Rivers — ITV News reporter who covered the trial and manhunt.
• John Simpson — Former crime correspondent for The Times.
What you'll learn in this episode
• How Jack Shepherd drove his speedboat at nearly three times the legal night-time limit, with no life jackets on board and a safety kill-cord left unattached
• Why he told police Charlotte had taken the controls moments before the crash, and why detectives believe responsibility still lay with him as the boat's reckless owner
• How Shepherd vanished before his own trial, was convicted in his absence, and was later tracked down living under a changed appearance in Tbilisi, Georgia
• Why Kerry identifies a telling 'verbal slip' in Shepherd's TV interview that reveals how self-focused his thinking really was

The Murder of Natalie McNally
Saison 2 · Épisode 2
mardi 8 septembre 2026 • Durée 29:47
On 18 December 2022, 32-year-old Natalie McNally was murdered in her home in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, stabbed, beaten and strangled while 15 weeks pregnant with her son. Her boyfriend, Stephen McCullagh, appeared to have the perfect alibi: at the exact time of the attack, he was hosting a six-hour 'live' YouTube broadcast, watched by thousands. In this episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes reveals how McCullagh had actually pre-recorded the stream four nights earlier, slipping in chilling ‘hints’ at the murder he was about to commit, before slipping out to kill Natalie and returning home undetected. Drawing on CCTV, digital forensics and a harrowing 999 call, Kerry examines the mind of a killer capable of an extraordinarily calculated deception.
Key psychological themes
This episode explores: coercive control, misogyny and femicide • premeditation and staging a false alibi • narcissism and performative grief • digital forensics and deception detection • domestic homicide in Northern Ireland
Contributors featured in this episode
• Kerry Daynes — Forensic psychologist, presenter, and author of Dark Side of the Mind and What Lies Buried.
• Lynda Bryans — Journalist and broadcaster who covered the case.
• Catherine Kierans — Senior prosecutor, Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland.
What you'll learn in this episode
• Why Stephen McCullagh's six-hour 'live' YouTube broadcast, watched by thousands, turned out to be a pre-recording made four nights before Natalie's murder
• How digital forensic analysis of background computer activity exposed the difference between a genuine livestream and a played-out recording
• Why the killer titled his broadcast 'Violent Night' and slipped in-game lines like 'I need to kill this bitch' and 'Abso-effing-Natalie' into the footage
• How CCTV traced McCullagh's disguised journey by bus and taxi to Natalie's home and back, undoing his alibi
• Why detectives grew suspicious within minutes of his 999 call, despite no signs of forced entry and a guard dog that never barked
• How McCullagh manipulated Natalie's grieving family, secretly recording their conversations and attending her wake, while refusing to cooperate with police

The Murder of Shana Grice
Saison 2 · Épisode 1
mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 31:34
On 26 August 2016, 19-year-old Shana Grice was murdered in her Brighton home by former colleague Michael Lane — a man she had reported to Sussex Police multiple times in the months before her death. In this first episode of the new season, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes reveals how officers dismissed Shana's complaints, branded her a liar, and even fined her £90 for wasting police time, while Lane, a serial stalker with a hidden history of predatory behaviour, grew increasingly bold. Drawing on interviews with journalists who covered the case, and secret recordings Shana made herself, Kerry traces the eight-stage 'Homicide Timeline' that led inexorably to tragedy, and asks how many warning signs a victim has to raise before anyone listens.
Key psychological themes
This episode explores: stalking and coercive control • the Homicide Timeline and escalation to lethal violence • victim-blaming and institutional failure • obsession, jealousy and loss of control • blackmail and manipulation in abusive relationships
Contributors featured in this episode
• Kerry Daynes — Forensic psychologist, presenter, and author of Dark Side of the Mind and What Lies Buried.
• Flora Thompson — Press Association journalist who covered the Shana Grice case.
• Frank Le Duc — Editor of the Brighton and Hove News.
What you'll learn in this episode
• How Michael Lane, a colleague eight years older than Shana, pursued her with gifts, then threats, after she ended their relationship
• Why Sussex Police dismissed Shana's first stalking report as 'insufficient evidence', despite a record showing Lane had previously groomed a 14-year-old girl
• How officers branded Shana a liar after an assault, and fined her £90 for 'wasting police time'
• Why a secret tracking device fitted to Shana's car, and a stolen house key, preceded Lane's final, fatal visit to her home
• What the eight-stage 'Homicide Timeline' reveals about the path from coercive control to murder, and where it could have been stopped
• Why fourteen Sussex Police officers and staff were referred to the police regulator after Shana's murder, and how her case changed national policy on stalking complaints

Why Do People Kill?
Saison 1
mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 28:40
In the final episode of our summer specials, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes talks to Steve Keogh, a retired Metropolitan Police detective inspector who spent twelve years on Scotland Yard's Murder Investigation Team and helped convict around 100 killers. Steve reveals how murder squads achieve an extraordinary 90% clear-up rate, why smartphones have become a detective's most valuable piece of evidence, and what working the devastating aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings taught him about trauma and resilience. He also shares the theory it took him thirty years to develop: that virtually every murder is driven by one of just three underlying motives. It's a rare look at homicide investigation from the other side of the interview room.
Key psychological themes
This episode explores: the three drivers of murder — emotion, power and control, and gain • trauma, resilience and delayed grief in frontline policing • coercive control and domestic homicide • missed warning signs in mental-health-related killings • digital evidence and behavioural profiling
Contributors featured in this episode
• Kerry Daynes — Forensic psychologist, presenter, and author of Dark Side of the Mind and What Lies Buried.
• Steve Keogh — Retired Metropolitan Police detective inspector, Scotland Yard Murder Investigation Team; author and host of Murder Unpacked.
What you'll learn in this episode
• Why murder has a 90% clear-up rate in the UK, far higher than crimes like burglary, and how a team of up to 50 detectives makes that possible
• How cuts to the Met's murder teams, from 29 down to 18, have left detectives permanently playing catch-up
• Why nearly a third of London's murders are domestic-violence related, and why a woman's greatest homicide risk comes from a partner or ex-partner
• What it was really like working the Edgware Road bomb scene for two weeks after 7/7, and why the psychological toll didn't hit Steve until years later
• Why phones, not CCTV or forensics, are the single most valuable piece of evidence in a modern murder inquiry
• Steve's theory that almost every killing is driven by one of three motives: an emotional trigger, the desire to feel powerful, or material gain

How To Spot a Liar
Saison 1
mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 32:40
In this special episode, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes sits down with Dr Cliff Lansley, the body language expert often called the “Human Lie Detector,” to unpack the real science of spotting deception. A former motor mechanic turned behavioural analyst, Cliff spent a decade working alongside the late Dr Paul Ekman, the world's foremost expert on facial expression, before developing SCAnS, the Six Channels Analysis System now used by police, lawyers and intelligence services. Kerry and Cliff pick apart real police interview footage from three of Britain's most notorious killers — Harold Shipman, Ian Huntley and Wayne Couzens — to reveal how a micro head shake, a dropped shoulder or a change in breathing rate can betray a lie the words are trying to hide.
Key psychological themes
This episode explores: deception detection and body language • micro-expressions and subconscious “leakage” • psychophysiology and the polygraph vs SCAnS • cognitive load and lying • myths about gender and lie detection • forensic use of behavioural analysis in court
Contributors featured in this episode
• Kerry Daynes — Forensic psychologist, presenter, and author of Dark Side of the Mind and What Lies Buried.
• Dr Cliff Lansley — Body language expert, founder of the Emotional Intelligence Academy, and author of Getting to the Truth.
What you'll learn in this episode
• Why Cliff prefers the term “truth detector” to “lie detector”, and how the subconscious mind leaks the truth even when the words are lying
• Why two popular myths about lie detection — that women read liars better than men, and that everyone has a Pinocchio-style “tell” — don't hold up
• How SCAnS analyses six channels of behaviour, from facial expression to word choice, and why Cliff needs a cluster of at least three indicators before he trusts a signal
• How Ian Huntley leaked seven separate signs of deception in a three-word denial about his contact with Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman
• Why Wayne Couzens's relaxed phone call to a vet, compared with his stumbling police interview, exposed the mental strain of fabricating a story on the fly
