Hey, lovely listeners, and welcome back
1:37
to Real Crime Profile. I'm Laura Richards,
1:39
criminal behavioral analyst, former New Scotland Yard,
1:41
founder of Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service,
1:44
and host of the podcast Crime Analyst.
1:46
And with me today? Jim
1:48
Clemente, retired FBI profiler, former New York
1:50
City prosecutor, and writer, producer of Criminal
1:52
Minds. And I am
1:55
Lisa Zembetti, casting director of CBS's Criminal Minds
1:57
and board member of Higher Survivors Hollywood. Just
2:00
terrific that he thinks he's trying to
2:02
do everything so that they can proactively
2:05
help locate her and they're just doing
2:07
nothing behind the scenes. Absolutely
2:09
nothing bar focusing their energy on
2:11
him and saying did
2:14
the screen. This
2:16
is just one of the questions that really
2:19
gets me when women are
2:21
in fear and there's a genuine threat
2:23
to us. The movie
2:25
show women screaming but in real
2:28
life we most often times
2:30
don't. No scream
2:32
serves a purpose if
2:34
you feel that that's going to aggravate someone or
2:37
make them angry and they've already said to you what
2:39
they're going to do to you and what we didn't
2:41
know about by the way with the. The
2:44
voice and that what they were told was
2:46
that he would cut them like physically cut
2:48
them and you know hurt the
2:50
other one so. Right
2:52
when you're. Right yeah
2:55
and they were being told that they had
2:57
to comply otherwise something serious would happen
2:59
physical cutting to them serious
3:01
harm and injury therefore most often
3:03
times. A woman doesn't scream
3:06
and she is working up
3:08
in the middle of the night given
3:10
instructions and they are both drugs and
3:13
the sedation also has to
3:15
be taken into account and also when
3:17
the proof of life comes in. It
3:21
really just bothers me a lot but
3:23
the first question that investigators tend to
3:25
ask rape victims that is did you
3:27
scream and if you didn't scream it's
3:29
almost like you can send it to
3:32
it. When water
3:34
cannons work about fight or flight the psychologist
3:36
who did the work and we talked about
3:39
this last time all his work was
3:41
on men and what their reaction is when
3:44
there's a genuine fear
3:46
or threat to them men
3:48
tend to fight. Or they
3:51
run this flight later
3:53
on when those trials were done using women
3:56
what they found was that women tend
3:58
to either freeze or. Code
4:00
horn. And. I just want
4:02
same say. About the fawning because for
4:05
me for one is a very submissive
4:07
word. What I've tended to
4:09
see: his collaboration. Cooperation Trying
4:11
to talk the person.
4:14
Rounds. And down trying
4:16
to build rupaul using communication
4:18
skills to the escalate
4:20
that person and is because
4:23
we as. We grow up in the
4:25
world and moves through it As women we know.
4:27
That we don't hold power and that we
4:30
have to use. All communication skills
4:32
more often than not, the
4:34
escalate someone or something. And
4:36
that's the way we've had to operate. Everything
4:38
I heard about the nice. That we had
4:41
a more detail in the documentary. Was about
4:43
her understanding that this man
4:45
his cellular energy was that
4:48
he was this pen top
4:50
angry man looking for a
4:52
reason. To hurt her. And
4:55
she wanted to make sure she didn't give
4:57
him that reason she wanted to try and
4:59
build rapport with him. And cooperate
5:01
so that she survived it.
5:04
And I think she was so articulate and
5:06
explaining that that have biggest fear was that
5:08
he would kill her but she felt that
5:11
he wanted to break her. He was looking
5:13
for a reason and she fell to on
5:15
a cellular level. Know the three of us
5:17
one ever in a. Room with him. It wasn't
5:19
our lives that would put at risk. so is all
5:21
we can do from. The outside his
5:23
isn't of kin. But. I
5:26
believe her because we know that he
5:28
was a very dangerous individual. Gym and
5:30
I have work cases Matthew Miller
5:32
before and this guy was a
5:35
very dangerous sexual sadist. Predatory store
5:37
couldn't probably would go on to.
5:39
Kill if he hadn't done already,
5:42
and if this is Denise hadn't
5:44
used her incredible communication skills and
5:46
it was it her instincts that
5:49
saves her. And I believe that's
5:51
why he released her because of the way
5:53
that she talked to him and she realized.
5:55
that she couldn't fight him she had
5:57
to cooperate with his demands even know
6:00
as part, every fiber was
6:02
saying scream, run, fight back, hit. And
6:04
it's that torture conflict that she went
6:07
through that invaded her soul and her
6:09
body of having to submit to it
6:11
and having to make out she was
6:14
a willing participant in it when
6:16
she wasn't. And that was
6:18
the thing that really created conflict for
6:21
her. But women don't
6:23
always scream. And when you are raped,
6:26
there aren't always physical injuries because
6:28
you don't always fight back because
6:30
you know you'll be overpowered. And
6:33
the fact that her physical examination
6:35
showed that there had been sexual
6:38
intercourse. And
6:40
the number of officers
6:42
lied about that and said that there were
6:45
no signs of rape. Right. That
6:47
is really heartbreaking to me because
6:50
we know like 90% of
6:53
rapes, women are coerced
6:55
or forced or scared and intimidated.
6:57
And that it's not always
6:59
about physical restraints being used and being punched
7:01
in the face. So
7:04
again, it just challenges a lot
7:06
of those stereotypes. And I'm really
7:08
grateful to Denise, to her, to
7:10
her for explaining it. And
7:13
having to go through all of that again, by telling
7:15
people about what she had to endure.
7:17
But she said it to the FBI. She
7:19
said it to Matt Mustard. She went through
7:21
it in nuanced detail. And we saw her
7:24
on camera in this documentary.
7:26
She went through the detail of it
7:28
and Detective Matt Mustard's question after
7:31
she went through that was, have
7:33
you been in the perpetrator's trunk before? Have
7:35
you been in the trunk of the car
7:37
before? And I literally just wanted to. What
7:39
does that even mean? What is that question?
7:41
What is she was like, yeah, I've been
7:43
in it. What the fuck? I mean, I'm
7:45
sorry. I don't mean to just. It
7:48
was the most bizarre, ignorant question that
7:50
he could have asked. And he's the
7:52
same guy who said, women
7:56
who were sexually assaulted often
7:58
pretend. that it
8:01
happened again so that they
8:03
can relive the thrill of
8:05
it. Where is
8:07
he getting this from? There
8:11
is no look. I worked at
8:13
the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit in
8:15
the National Center for the Analysis of Violent
8:17
Crime. Laura was there with us for a
8:19
while and never
8:21
ever did we hear that,
8:23
teach that, or anything like it.
8:26
That's just, it's bullshit. I
8:28
have never once outside
8:30
of this case heard
8:33
anybody propound such bullshit.
8:35
First of all, there is no thrill of
8:37
it. That's the first thing. Let's get that
8:39
out of the way. There is no thrill of it
8:42
to relive. Secondly, the
8:44
last thing, somebody who's
8:46
been victimized, sexually
8:48
assaulted, raped, would
8:50
ever want to do is go through it
8:53
again. I have never
8:55
ever heard a case, I don't know if
8:57
you have Laura, I've never heard a case
8:59
in my entire career and in the
9:02
13 years since I retired. I've never
9:04
heard a case of a rape victim
9:07
claiming that it happened again for
9:09
any reason at all. Not
9:13
once Jim, not ever in the thousands
9:15
and thousands of cases. The
9:17
fact that he said in our
9:19
experience, as in in law
9:22
enforcement's experience, that's
9:24
what they found. The question is a
9:26
good one, Lisa. Where is he getting
9:28
that stuff from? He's just making things
9:31
up that sound official as if this is
9:33
what we see in law enforcement. He's saying
9:35
it to Denise's mother after
9:37
trying to dig into her past because
9:40
he feels that she's, he's
9:42
already asked Aaron, does it
9:44
come to mind that Denise is behind this? Then
9:47
he's saying this statement, it's
9:49
so sexist and so misogynistic. It
9:51
probably explains a lot because if
9:54
he's mentoring other people and if
9:56
other people are in his, you
9:59
know, purview around him and these are
10:01
the things that he's saying, then
10:04
you can turn all the new recruits
10:06
and all the rookies into this mindset
10:08
that all women want to
10:10
relive it because they want the thrill of it
10:12
again and again, i.e. they're all liars. I
10:16
can tell you when I went to detective training
10:18
school at Hendon, when I trained detectives, I
10:20
used to train them on rape and
10:23
the SOIC courses which are the
10:25
specialist officers for sexual
10:27
offenses. They were called chaperones when
10:29
I first joined the Met. This
10:32
did travel that women made up
10:35
rape, that false allegations were common
10:38
and I found that really bizarre because I
10:40
couldn't find the source of where that came
10:42
from. In fact, we ended up doing some studies
10:44
on false allegations. It was like 1% of
10:48
all cases but yet that
10:50
was promulgating and what it takes
10:52
is someone like detective Mustard saying that
10:54
and then you've got other
10:57
people who might just go along with it who
10:59
don't say, well where's the academic citation? Where does
11:01
that come from? It's
11:03
probably part of the reason why 99% of rapists walk free.
11:08
There is a correlation there
11:10
that when you've got attitudes like
11:12
that because how did
11:14
detective Mustard deal with any other
11:17
rape investigations or allegations if
11:19
that's what his perspective is and
11:21
if it's not really his perspective, then
11:24
he has no business saying that to Denise's
11:26
mother and he's on record saying it and
11:28
of course we know that he got Officer of the Year in
11:30
2016. Not
11:33
just Officer of the Year. After
11:36
completely fucking up
11:38
this case, completely fucking it
11:40
up. That he can move in the
11:43
world thinking that in his position of
11:45
power seeing women that way is
11:47
truly frightening and what kind of messaging
11:49
does it tell offenders that nobody's going
11:54
to believe you if you're a victim,
11:56
right? And how about the other
11:58
victims who were told. oh
12:00
it's just going to be he said she said.
12:02
No reason to actually come in and file
12:05
a report. But also
12:07
Detective Mustard, that officer of the year, he
12:10
defined the outstanding qualities
12:13
and then he was promoted in 2018. So what's the
12:16
message to female officers who
12:18
hear him say that? What's the message to
12:20
male officers who hear him say that? You
12:23
know this sort of stuff is so
12:25
systemic and it's so it's
12:28
like a cancer it spreads and
12:30
the attitude and aptitude of new people coming
12:32
in are really it's really impacted. So you
12:35
know funny enough Misty and I were just
12:38
talking yesterday about it and she was saying
12:40
oh Laura you know it's not just Vallejo
12:42
and I said well I know because I've
12:44
worked nationally and internationally this is systemic it's
12:46
not just oh the Vallejo police department you
12:49
know got this wrong it's
12:51
across the world that these things are said you
12:54
know it's not just this is a one-off and
12:56
that's what bothers me when we think only 1%
12:58
of rapists are convicted in America well it's only
13:00
6% in the UK. Most people
13:04
would say oh that comes down to resources or
13:06
they put up all these other issues as
13:08
to what that comes down to but it
13:11
comes down to attitude and aptitude in the
13:13
first instance that you believe a victim
13:15
and that you investigate and that
13:18
you seize evidence and then that
13:20
evidence is tested. You know that's what
13:22
it comes down to rather than
13:24
offenders being green-lit by someone like
13:26
detective Mustard and it
13:28
really bothers me he gets the
13:30
awards and Misty got nothing she
13:33
got nothing no award no recognition.
13:36
She didn't and you know what the
13:38
success well I'll read to you later
13:41
on what the attorneys the Attorney General's
13:43
office said following the conviction because we've
13:45
still got a lot more to discuss
13:48
before we get to that. When

List is now Angie, and we've heard a
15:18
lot of theories about why. I thought it
15:20
was an eco move. For your words, less
15:22
paper. No, it was so you
15:25
could say it faster. No, it's to be
15:27
more iconic. Must be a tech thing.

15:56
know when Laura has brought up that did you
15:58
scream literally as you've been talking. that has
16:00
been echoing in my head because
16:02
I'm like, why would you ask
16:04
someone that at all? I mean, if
16:07
you are interviewing someone who's a man
16:09
who's been stabbed, right, he's been mugged,
16:13
did you scream when you were stabbed? I
16:15
mean, you would never ask that. So unless
16:17
you want to be able to corroborate like,
16:19
did neighbors hear you or, you know,
16:21
to corroborate it that way, but
16:24
not asking you personally, how did
16:26
you react when you were violated?
16:28
You know, you don't ask that
16:31
to anybody else. Except
16:34
someone who says that they've been sexually
16:36
assaulted. What is the point of
16:38
that question? What do
16:40
you learn from a yes or
16:42
a no in terms of investigating
16:44
it? You learn nothing. And
16:46
his follow up was, well, why didn't you scream?
16:51
And why didn't you make any, you
16:53
know, did you make any noise? Did
16:55
you provide? If you don't
16:57
make any noise, then it's consensual. And
17:00
how can it ever be right that someone coming
17:02
into your house in the middle of the night
17:04
between three and five a.m. in the morning, tying
17:07
you both up and removing you from your
17:09
home, driving you hundreds of miles away and forcing
17:13
you, I'm not even going to
17:15
say the word sex because it's rape and people keep
17:17
saying, you know, it's sex, but it's rape. So
17:20
if she's in the middle of nowhere, what's
17:22
the point of her screaming? She had already
17:24
said that she knew she was in she
17:26
could smell pine pine trees
17:29
and that there was no one else around
17:32
and she was in fear for her life. So
17:35
why would screaming help her? It's
17:37
just such a ridiculous thing. I agree. He
17:40
didn't believe her. He didn't
17:42
believe her at all. He didn't
17:44
believe Aaron at all. And
17:47
that disbelief led
17:49
him down a path that
17:51
actually risked her life, got
17:53
her raped a second time and
17:56
totally destroyed these two wonderful
17:59
people. lives and their
18:01
reputations. Well, and their
18:03
trust in law enforcement. Most people are
18:05
trusting and law-abiding people, but when something
18:07
like this happens and you go to
18:10
them genuinely because you're at risk or
18:12
your partner's at risk, you expect them
18:14
to do the right thing. So it
18:16
also destroys your trust. And
18:18
that's a horrible, horrible thing to have
18:21
happen. It really is. And not
18:23
just one person, it was multiple. And
18:25
we'll talk about the FBI, Jim. I
18:27
still have a question about David
18:30
Sesma in particular, who also ended
18:32
up being promoted and just the
18:34
conflict of interest there. But David
18:36
Sesma also lied and said there
18:39
were inconsistencies in the story. And
18:42
just the point that when we see Denise being,
18:44
I'm gonna call it interrogated because I didn't
18:46
feel it was being interviewed. Normally you would
18:48
have a sexual offenses trained officer in there,
18:50
but the fact she's got three men in
18:52
there and she's sort of there, would
18:55
have huddled up her head in her hands. And
18:58
she's there retelling every detail,
19:00
in an immense detail, and
19:02
these three men just staring at
19:04
her. Even that, what a
19:06
horrible, horrible situation. What a learning opportunity,
19:09
isn't it, Jim, for law
19:11
enforcement to ensure that they do
19:13
better. That she's gone through all
19:15
of this. And David Sesma's
19:17
response is that there were inconsistencies in
19:20
her story. And Denise's
19:22
attorney just couldn't believe it. He
19:24
said there were no inconsistencies
19:26
at all. And I think probably
19:28
if he didn't hear it and witness it
19:30
for himself, he probably wouldn't believe that
19:32
that was even possible to have happened,
19:34
but it did. Right,
19:37
I mean, it's just
19:39
reinforcing what they've already decided. And
19:41
they are, well, not only are
19:43
they wrong, they're
19:47
unprofessional and they are, in
19:49
my mind, they are committing
19:53
what amounts to a crime against
19:55
these victims, particularly when
19:57
they did not at all
19:59
investigate. her abduction from the
20:01
moment that Erin made that
20:03
call. They did not investigate
20:05
it because they made
20:08
an assessment that it is too outrageous
20:10
to be true. They
20:12
let her abduction continue
20:14
longer than they had to and
20:16
they exposed her to
20:18
the rapes. They could have protected
20:21
her from that. They could have prevented it, unconscionable.
20:25
It is. The lack
20:27
of accountability here I think is just
20:29
the most staggering piece that everybody gets
20:31
promoted, what the male officers do, but
20:34
not Misty. Even that, what's
20:36
the message that it sends out to the good
20:38
officers who are there fighting the fight, doing the
20:40
right thing, and then these
20:42
officers who do terrible things, there's
20:45
no accountability or responsibility taking? It's
20:47
a really bad message, isn't it? I
20:50
think we should mention it as
20:52
much as we are rightfully criticizing
20:54
the Vallejo law enforcement and we're
20:56
raising up Misty. There were other
20:58
officers, I mean, she talks about,
21:00
Misty talks about the officer in
21:02
Palo Alto, who talks about the
21:04
officer in Palo Alto, who never
21:06
forgot Matthew Muller and was very
21:08
frustrated that he couldn't arrest
21:10
him for what he suspected him
21:12
of doing and kept Matthew's picture
21:14
on his bulletin board and
21:17
was right away ready to help Misty.
21:19
I mean, there are such good people
21:21
out there who are staying up all
21:23
night like Misty did and rocking their
21:26
brain on how to close a case
21:28
or find this missing blonde
21:30
victim that she really thinks is out
21:32
there. There are so many good, good
21:34
people who are working so, so hard.
21:36
I mean, I don't want to forget
21:38
them when these people in
21:40
Vallejo get away with what they're doing
21:42
and we'll get more into that. But
21:45
it also takes senior leaders to
21:48
prioritize these cases, right? I
21:50
mean, it's all very well and good and
21:52
officer keeping the picture of Matthew Muller, but what
21:55
are you doing to actually problem solve him?
21:57
Because if you genuinely believe he's the, you
21:59
know, my right. island creeper and so on
22:01
and so forth, you know,
22:03
oftentimes with detectives, you have to go the
22:05
extra nine yards. That's the whole point of
22:07
being a detective, isn't it? You have to
22:09
problem solve intelligence analysts. I was one of
22:11
them. It doesn't land on your lap or
22:14
on your desk with a neat tidy bow on it.
22:16
You have to work for it, right, Jim? I mean,
22:18
I'm saying this because you often do
22:20
come up against resistance, but that's the difference
22:22
between the officers who are good, who follow
22:24
their intuition, their gut instinct,
22:26
and who don't give up. You
22:29
have to be tenacious, and you have to try
22:31
and be one step ahead of the offenders. That's
22:33
why I'm trying to bring in the register
22:35
to ensure that serial stalkers like
22:38
Muller, and this is in the UK,
22:41
are included on the violent and sexual
22:43
offenders database. I'm back in parliament
22:45
again, not physically, this week in
22:47
the victims and prisoners bill trying to
22:49
ensure they brought it in for coercive
22:52
controllers who had served 12 months on
22:54
more, but not stalkers. Laws have
22:56
to change as well to help law
22:58
enforcement to do their jobs better. I
23:01
think that that's necessary all across the world. I
23:04
digress a little, but seeing, I
23:07
was talking about Taylor Swift, the
23:09
stalker that will not leave her
23:11
alone, and looking at
23:13
New York laws on stalking, my goodness,
23:16
it's a one that anybody is convicted
23:18
of stalking there. I've never really looked
23:20
at their laws before, but stalking
23:22
in the third or fourth is seen as
23:24
a misdemeanor, and that's where most stalking
23:26
cases go. It's very light
23:29
touch stuff when stalking is a serious
23:31
crime, and it's only when it's in
23:33
the first and second degree, once someone's
23:36
committed serious harm, that it's seen as
23:38
stalking in the first or second. Why
23:40
are you waiting for something serious to
23:43
happen? They don't take into
23:45
account a stalker's history. This
23:47
man has been 30 times
23:49
seen at her apartment building, 30 times
23:52
he's been told not to enter, 10
23:54
times. He was arrested three times this
23:56
week, And they're saying, well, we
23:59
can't do anything until he does. something. The
24:01
whole point is stalking dollars to ensure
24:03
and you do it is for either
24:05
you arrested or charged them nor any
24:08
has especially after the murder of John.
24:10
Lennon by someone who had been stalking
24:12
him. Eyes, I will. I'm soft that
24:14
you're saying that the New York laws
24:16
are so lax because he would think
24:18
that after that, you know I mean
24:20
there's a memorial for him, you know,
24:22
Strawberry Fields right across from the Dakota
24:24
that we go to memorialize him. I
24:26
eat think that that they would take
24:28
it more seriously. Well.
24:30
No, they don't and I was talking about it
24:33
with. Dan Abrams last night and I must
24:35
admit, I was pretty. Horrified actually reading
24:37
through the legislation and I'm asking
24:39
the question now, has anyone been
24:41
convicted of stalking in New York?
24:43
And if it doesn't work for
24:45
Taylor Swift, I mean she's got
24:47
obviously a security. She can be
24:49
in different places, but the normal person
24:51
doesn't have all of that. so we
24:53
have to ensure that laws don't enable.
24:56
Perpetrators and. I think
24:58
that that's what we were seeing all the
25:00
time I'm in Virginia. We talked about
25:02
the Colonial Parkways murders. I'm just
25:04
learning the William Wage will miss
25:07
seniors. Dna won't go. On
25:09
to this because of Virginia
25:11
state laws that preclude because.
25:13
He's never committed a felony. They got
25:16
their own. Legislation which
25:18
says. That therefore he won't. He
25:20
set the and I won't go on
25:22
to cases and now is gonna have
25:24
to be a campaign to get the
25:27
governor to change that wire laws. Protecting
25:29
serial killers. Why are they protecting? Serious
25:31
talk. To say that again is one
25:33
thing I do have sympathy for. Law
25:35
enforcement set by up to his degree
25:37
because it's laws don't work for you.
25:39
We have to change them. And.
25:41
Therefore, it's up to all of us to
25:44
say with this law is outdated. It came
25:46
in on stalking in whatever it was. ninety.
25:48
Ninety Seven. But we now and Twenty Twenty
25:51
four and we know the stalkers use online
25:53
store to. Take nice Matthew Miller,
25:55
for example would use drones.
25:58
i mean we we didn't talk about this but drones
26:00
were recovered from a storage unit
26:02
that he had. So that's how
26:04
he was stalking them, doing surveillance
26:06
using drones. And he had sound
26:08
recording systems and they found that he
26:11
had recorded the distorted voice and the
26:13
whispering, you know, the whispering that Denise
26:15
and I spoke about. I think
26:17
that was not in... He found samples of
26:19
that. I think that wasn't as clear in
26:21
the documentary as if you don't know the
26:23
book that there was a whole pretense,
26:26
but there was more than one person there in
26:28
this home invasion, which also made them
26:31
frightened, which also led to
26:33
Denise and Aaron not fighting back because they thought
26:35
there was a whole gang of
26:37
people descending upon them. Denise thought
26:39
that somebody was with Aaron and
26:42
Aaron knew that somebody was with
26:44
Denise. So he thought if
26:46
he did something wrong, they would punish
26:48
her. They would hurt her. And that's
26:51
how you control multiple people. And that's
26:53
exactly what they did. They controlled
26:56
them. And, you know, it
26:58
was the fact
27:01
that it sounded extreme
27:03
and far-fetched to law enforcement.
27:06
Fine, but do your job and
27:08
corroborate or refute it. And they did
27:10
nothing. They did nothing to find her.
27:12
It just makes me so upset to
27:14
think that she's there going through all
27:16
that and they're not even looking for
27:18
her. Ryan.

29:01
stock has a very devious and that's why
29:04
I made these points is that we have
29:06
to be one step ahead of them and
29:08
stalkers. Adidas. This guy was a former marine.
29:10
He was a. Harvard graduate lawyer
29:12
Honey, he's only just been
29:14
disbarred in California and with
29:16
David Chrome who's stalking Taylor
29:19
Swift is also a law
29:21
student. He's. All say somebody
29:23
who might appear is ah
29:26
believable plausible. Even. Though he's
29:28
coming off as if he is the most
29:30
and. Not quite
29:32
right is how he's been described.
29:34
That the point is that stalkers
29:37
can be a very devious and.
29:39
That techniques and their tactics an hour and
29:41
did so that he was being stalked. For
29:44
some time he was being boxed. Wait, there
29:46
was a drone that was seeing. You say
29:48
this is back in Twenty Sustain is what
29:51
I'm saying is that technology moves on and
29:53
stalkers use that technology. So we must make
29:55
sure our laws are updated. The must make
29:57
sure law enforcement understand. It with a i.
30:00
and with all these advances, it
30:02
really helps stalkers do
30:04
terrible things. So you may get these
30:06
elaborate things. It might sound
30:09
fantastical, it might sound elaborate, but I can
30:11
tell you from having worked so many of
30:13
these bonkers, you know, cases
30:15
that nine times out of ten, when
30:17
I hear something fantastical, it normally
30:19
turns out to be true. So
30:21
you've got to do it all. You've got to
30:23
train law enforcement. You've
30:26
also got to have tenacity
30:28
and problem-solve perpetrators, but you
30:30
need the laws to better
30:32
protect victims. Those
30:35
laws have to have a prevention lens. That's
30:37
the whole point. You don't want people
30:39
being stabbed, shot and killed, and
30:41
then, oh yeah, let's call it stalking.
30:43
You've got to get into the early identification,
30:45
intervention, prevention. That's why I changed the law
30:47
in England and Wales and set up Paladin.
30:51
It takes everybody to use their voice
30:53
and to challenge when laws
30:55
don't work, but also, when we
30:58
have officers like Detective Misty Carrasue,
31:00
who people should be uplifting and
31:03
saying she should be awarded and
31:05
celebrated, that should be really key
31:07
in law enforcement so that we
31:10
have incredible role models, right?
31:13
And that, again, is just the misogyny and
31:15
the oppression that goes on. You
31:17
get someone that, you know, as Misty said, you
31:19
remember when we interviewed her, I just did my
31:22
job. Well, she did. She did
31:24
it very well. Yeah, she
31:26
did it very well and she was the one that solved it, but
31:30
she wasn't the one that was congratulated after
31:32
the conviction came in. No. So
31:35
that's what we have to, that's why we use our
31:37
voice on Real Crime Profile. We know we have a
31:39
lot of people who listen to us and it takes
31:41
all of us to create change, not
31:43
just one or two people. And
31:45
we've got to uplift those who are doing great
31:47
work and doing a great job and congratulate them
31:49
and make sure that those who don't, well,
31:52
they have to be sanctioned. They
31:54
do. There
31:56
has to be accountability. Well,
31:58
thank you, Laura and Lisa. Lisa, for this
