Killing Time

Last week in Raleigh, North Carolina there was an arsonist who set brush fires along Interstate 540. While no one was killed or injured it took crews hours to contain the fires and stalled traffic for hours.. listen to this weeks podcast as we dive into arson and the psychology of the arsonist.

Join Dr. Ghering as he looks into a truly dark case. This week we will dive into the life and times of arguably the most prolific serial killer in history.

This week we look into the 14 deaths since January of 2025, in which the bodies were all found in the Bayous of Houston, TX. Join me as I look at the data, analyze what we know, and what we don’t in an attempt to determine if there is a pattern that we can anchor these tragedies to. Once the dust settles and we’ve looked into all the available information, hopefully we can answer the question, “What is in the water of Houston’s bayous?”

Join me as I take a psychological deep dive into the corporation of abuse and exploitation that Jeffery Epstein built. In this week’s episode we will learn the corporate structure and how Epstein’s corporation struck a deal with the government to help suppress the evidence of wrongdoing and shield him from prosecution and accountability. What does this do to the victims and the the society at large? Listen to find the answers.

Join me this week as we travel to Düsseldorf, Germany to track down another vampire. A few episodes ago we profiled an American “vampire” named Richard Chase. This week we turn to Germany’s Peter Kurten to demonstrate that not all vampires are created equal.

This week Dr. Ghering examines the psychology of cults from their leaders to their practices to their victims. Using Dr. Steven Hassan’s BITE model and Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as a foundation framework to dive into the way cults work and the consequences left in their wake.

Join Dr. Ghering as he explores the peculiar case of Richard Chase. This case is one of those rare instances where schizophrenia meets psychopathy to create a perfect storm which ultimately created the Vampire of Sacramento. Unfortunately, this case demonstrates once again how childhood abuse and neglect can help provide an environment for such a monster to be born into this world.
