Professor who murdered his wife asks for money to start over, but maybe he shouldn’t have
Ten years ago, on Dec. 22, 2006, Rafael Robb, of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, bludgeoned his wife, Ellen Gregory Robb, to death as she wrapped Christmas presents.

This week, Robb petitioned the court for $100,000 of his assets to set up a new life after prison. But in a hearing, he mentioned an account in France, which he had not di …

Steven Dean Gordon, already a sex offender, guilty of murdering 4 women while wearing a GPS tracker
Prosecutors in Orange County, California, started calling him "Jaws" because he was such a vicious predator.

How psychopaths use our biology against us
Invariably, once we realize we've been conned by a psychopath, this person has lied to us from the very beginning, and we fell for all of it, we ask why? Why did we believe? Why did we trust?

Human beings have evolved over millennia to live in community, and trust is the glue that holds us together. I read The Moral Molecule the source of love and prosperity, by Paul J. Zak. Zak spent 10 years researching a brain chemical called oxytocin and its role in human behavior. He says oxytocin inspires trust; trust is connected to morality; and morality is connected to the survival of the human …
