“This is your chance to unlock the mind of a murderer. Whether you’re a true crime aficionado or simply curious about the human mind, The Psychology of a Murderer promises to be an unforgettable experience,” says Dr. Toles. “We’ll delve into the complex minds of different types of notorious murderers—like family annihilator Chris Watts, Aaron Hernandez, the NFL star turned killer, the infamous Ken and Barbie Killers (Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka), Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and of course, the chilling case of the Menendez Brothers. The pending case of Luigi Mangione will also be discussed.”
Toles will examine what lies behind the decision to commit murder. What are the escalation points? Do some people snap, while others make a clear and conscious decision? “This show is unique in that we’ll be exploring the root causes, uncovering the childhood experiences, the family dynamics, and the critical breaking points that can lead to these later tragedies,” says Dr. Toles. During intermission, audience members will have the chance to submit questions to Dr. Toles for a highly anticipated live Q&A session.
