Part One: The Predator’s Playbook
We examine how Jesse Butler allegedly built trust, manipulated perception, and inflicted escalating violence behind a mask of charm. Love-bombing, grooming, strangulation, digital trophies, calibrated threats — this is the behavioral blueprint of a predator operating in plain sight.
Part Two: The System That Failed
Despite overwhelming evidence and two victims ready to testify, Butler walked away with community service, counseling, and the promise of a clean record. We dig into the deal-making, the optics, the backlash, and the profound message this outcome sends to victims everywhere.
Part Three: The Death of Anna Kepner
Conflicting family stories, minimized aggression, outside witnesses telling a different truth, and behavioral indicators investigators look for when tragedy fractures the narrative. Robin explains how trained professionals cut through damage control to find reality.
This episode isn’t just about two cases — it’s about the patterns, systems, and human behaviors that allow violence to go unchecked until it explodes into public view.
