First, we’ll break down the latest holdout juror update, including questions surrounding the juror selection process, what may have been disclosed, concerns raised about deliberations, and what this could mean as the case moves forward.
Then we’re reacting to Patrick Clancy’s emotional 60 Minutes interview, including his discussion of Lindsay’s mental health before the deaths of their children, his grief, forgiveness, trauma, the public scrutiny surrounding the case, and his life today.
As a psychology professor, I’ll also examine the psychological issues underneath both stories:
Juror decision-making • minority influence • group pressure • cognitive bias • trauma • grief • forgiveness • postpartum mental illness • criminal responsibility • and why outward behavior does not always tell us what someone is experiencing internally.
We’ll also discuss an important question: When does legitimate juror disagreement become a concern about the integrity of the deliberation process?
And throughout the conversation, we will remember the three children at the center of this case: Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy.
Join me live for the psychology, the evidence, the newest developments—and plenty of discussion with chat.

Horsch Breaking Update: 7 Women, 1 Million Files, and Only 30% ReviewedThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-09-19 | Philadelphia Police and the FBI released the most significant update yet in the Chew Avenue investigation involving Raymond “R.C.” Horsch and his son, Eugene Horsch. Authorities now say seven women are tied to the case: five women appear in recovered images or videos as lifeless or unconscious, while Amy McHale and Blair Tonzelli remain missing. Investigators report more than one million digital evidence items, roughly 30 percent reviewed, and 58 people identified in the material.
Tonight, Dr. Jaime Vona walks through the updated timeline, the evidence categories, the seven women, and what the numbers do and do not prove. The behavioral-analysis section examines coercive control, dehumanization, moral disengagement, sensation seeking, stigma, survivor silence, and family-system normalization without diagnosing anyone from public reporting.
Important: No human remains have been recovered. “Believed dead” reflects investigators’ assessment of imagery, not a court ruling or formal medical determination. Eugene Horsch has not been charged with homicide or causing any disappearance or death.
Sources include the Sept. 16 Philadelphia Police and FBI briefing and reporting from NBC10, 6abc, FOX 29, and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Psychology of Why We Want to LookThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-09-16 | Idaho authorities are warning about the potential release of unredacted crime-scene photographs from the University of Idaho murders, including images depicting the victims.
Tonight on *The Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona*, we're looking at what officials have actually confirmed — and then we're going deeper.
Why are human beings drawn to disturbing images? What is morbid curiosity? What happens when repeated exposure to violent content begins to change our emotional response? And where should true-crime creators and audiences draw the line between understanding a case and consuming someone's worst moment?
We'll talk about curiosity, threat processing, desensitization, vicarious trauma, social media, creator responsibility, victim dignity, and what I call **the first click versus the second click**.
Most importantly, we're remembering Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin as people whose lives were much bigger than the crime scene where they died.
Join me live. I want to hear where **you** draw the line.

Horsch: Inside the Inquirer’s Report on His 1985 Psych ProfileThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-09-09 | Tonight we’re going back decades before the current Chew Avenue investigation to examine what The Philadelphia Inquirer reported from a previously unreleased 1985 psychological evaluation of Raymond “R.C.” Horsch.
According to the Inquirer, psychologist Don Seraydarian described Horsch using terms including grandiose, mistrustful, suspicious, and excessively controlling, and documented themes involving anger, control, alienation, family relationships, and his early life.
We do not have the original psychological evaluation, so we will clearly attribute every detail from that document to the Inquirer’s reporting. #RaymondHorsch #RCHorsch #TrueCrime #Psychology #DrVona

In this Part 2 deep dive, we’re focusing on the differences — because those differences may be even more important than the similarities.
I’m breaking down the two cases through psychology, postpartum mental illness, treatment history, psychosis, behavior, insight, criminal responsibility, and the law.
We’ll compare what was documented before each tragedy, how each woman presented psychologically, what experts said, what the evidence showed, and why two cases that are so often mentioned in the same conversation can lead to very different legal and clinical questions.
We’ll also look at Andrea Yates’ extensive history of psychiatric illness and psychosis, her eventual not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict, and how that record compares with the evidence and expert testimony presented in Lindsay Clancy’s case.
Some of the biggest questions we’ll tackle:
How similar were their psychiatric histories, really? What evidence of psychosis existed before the deaths? How much does organized behavior matter? What is the difference between mental illness and legal insanity? Why does timing matter when evaluating delusions, hallucinations, and insight? How do Texas and Massachusetts define criminal responsibility differently? And what do these differences tell us about how the justice system handles severe maternal mental illness?
This is a psychology-based analysis of the evidence and expert testimony, not an attempt to diagnose anyone from a distance.
Join the conversation and tell me where you land after looking at the two cases side by side.

Horschs InterviewThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-09-06 | #RaymondHorsch #RCHorsch #DrVona #eugenehorsch #philadelphia I edited my Psychological view on the Ray Horsch interview so you can hear it without interruptions. I fixed the audio as well, so it should be fine now. Tonight, we’re hearing directly from Raymond “R.C.” Horsch through selected clips from his extensive 2013 interview with The Rialto Report.
During the interview, Horsch describes himself using several striking identities: sociopath, fugitive, villain, artist, chemist, pornographer, counterfeiter, and adrenaline junkie. We’re examining what his words reveal about anger, control, grandiosity, deception, sensation-seeking, moral disengagement, and the villain persona he cultivated across decades.
We’ll also compare his recorded statements with recent Philadelphia Inquirer reporting about a four-hour psychological evaluation conducted in 1985. According to the Inquirer, the evaluator described Horsch as grandiose, mistrustful, suspicious, excessively controlling, and “consumed by anger.” The original evaluation has not been publicly released, so all details from that document are attributed to the Inquirer’s reporting.
Most importantly, we’ll discuss the real women connected to the ongoing investigation, including Gabrielle Amarando, Maribel Fresses, Blair Tonzelli, and Amy McHale. Their lives deserve to remain at the center of this story.
Join me as we stop throughout the interview, examine Horsch’s language, and ask one central question:
How closely does the man speaking in 2013 resemble the person described in 1985?

Now Philadelphia investigators are examining an enormous archive associated with him—roughly 50 drives and devices, about 600,000 images, 70,000 videos, and 10,000 pages of writing, according to public reporting. Police have discussed images involving women known to have been alive and later apparently deceased. Other reporting describes disturbing footage whose meaning and authenticity have not been fully established in public. No responsible analysis should leap from those facts to an unsupported homicide conclusion. In this live, Dr. Jaime Vona separates four layers: what court records document, what reputable reporting attributes to investigators or witnesses, what Horsch claimed about himself, and what remains unknown. We will examine identity as an instrument, self-mythologizing, control through framing, the psychology of transgression, and the strongest fair counterarguments—without diagnosing a person we have not evaluated and without turning victims into props. Primary materials include the 1974 federal Nat Guard opinion, the 2012 fed judgment, reporting from The Philadelphia Inquirer, and more. #RayHorsch #drvona #eugenehorsch #philadelphiaserialkillerEugene Horsch: Lets Get AcquaintedThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-09-02 | #eugenehorsh Raymondhorsh #rayhorsh #phillyserialkiller #drvonaLindsay Clancy Verdict Watch: Psychosis or Murder?

Tonight, I’m breaking down and reacting to the testimony from the Commonwealth’s forensic experts, including Dr. Abram Mack and Dr. Kirk Heilbrun. We’re looking closely at where their opinions overlap, where they do not, and what those differences could mean as the jury considers Lindsay Clancy’s mental state and criminal responsibility at the time of the deaths of her children.
We’ll discuss:
Dr. Mack’s cross-examination and the tense exchanges with the defense The debate over postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, and DSM terminology Bipolar I vs. Bipolar II Intrusive thoughts vs. auditory hallucinations Confirmation bias and retention bias in forensic evaluations Lindsay’s psychological testing and the issue of malingering Dr. Heilbrun’s diagnosis and his analysis of her mental state The critical distinction between having a serious mental illness and meeting the legal standard for lack of criminal responsibility What the jury actually heard versus arguments and discussions that occurred outside their presence
As always, this is a psychological and educational analysis of the testimony presented in court—not a declaration of guilt or innocence.
Join me live and tell me in the chat: Which expert was more persuasive to you today—and why?Lindsay Clancy | The Defenses ProblemThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-08-24 | #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #TrueCrime #PostpartumPsychosis #BipolarDisorder #drvona The more evidence the defense presents in the Lindsay Clancy trial, the more questions I have. I still believe Lindsay was profoundly mentally ill and see possible evidence of psychosis, delusions of influence and, in a limited sense, altruistic filicide. However, I am less convinced by the alleged command hallucination than I once was.
Tonight, we’ll examine the voice and its documentation problem, the exercise bands and organized behavior, whether the fall was a genuine suicide attempt, claims of Cluster B traits, DSM-5-TR and postpartum psychosis research, and the differences between Lindsay Clancy and Andrea Yates.
I am not diagnosing Lindsay or declaring what the verdict should be. I am following the evidence—even when it challenges my previous position. Severe mental illness does not automatically establish a lack of criminal responsibility. Most importantly, we will remember Cora, Dawson and Callan.

Tonight, I’m premiering my in-depth conversation with Dr. Leslie Dobson, forensic psychologist, then coming back LIVE to break down the interview, weigh the evidence, and take your questions.
I’m Dr. Jaime Vona, Psychology Professor and host of The Minds Behind True Crime, and this conversation goes far beyond simply asking whether Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill. We discuss her journal entries, severe insomnia, anxiety, guilt, obsessive thinking, intrusive thoughts vs. psychosis, the reported command hallucination, why multiple clinicians did not document psychosis before the killings, bipolar-spectrum illness, postpartum psychosis, planning and organized behavior, and the critical difference between mental illness and criminal responsibility.
We also examine hindsight bias, confirmation bias, retrospective symptom reporting, and the evidence that supports the defense—as well as the evidence that complicates it. This is not about choosing between Team Prosecution and Team Defense. It’s about doing what psychology requires us to do: look at the evidence, consider competing explanations, and separate what we know from what we assume.

#drvona #lindsayclancy #postpartumanxiety #postpartumpsychosisBryan Kohberger’s Autism Diagnosis: What The Psych Court Filing REALLY SaysThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-08-15 | In Defense Motion in Limine #13: Conditions as Aggravator, Kohberger’s attorneys discuss findings from a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, including his Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, social-emotional reciprocity, “limited perspective-taking,” difficulty with social cues, perseveration, obsessive-compulsive behaviors dating back to childhood, and an eating disorder.
But the bigger question is what those findings actually mean.
Tonight, we’re breaking down:
🧠 What the neuropsychological evaluation reportedly found 🧠 “Limited perspective-taking” vs. lack of empathy 🧠 Autism, social cues, reciprocity, and behavior 🧠 Obsessive-compulsive traits and childhood compulsions 🧠 Why a symptom, trait, and diagnosis are NOT the same thing ⚖️ Mitigation vs. aggravation in a death-penalty case ⚖️ The defense argument about future dangerousness 🧠 Why autism does NOT explain violence, motive, or intent 🧠 What this document tells us — and what it absolutely does NOT
This is exactly why psychological language matters. The same observable behavior can be called “cold,” “creepy,” “arrogant,” “self-absorbed,” or “emotionless” depending on the story we attach to it.
Behavior is data. Interpretation is a hypothesis.

Her description is difficult to hear — and incredibly important. She talks about hearing voices, seeing figures, questioning whether events actually happened, tracking herself with sticky notes because she no longer fully trusted her memory, and trying to continue parenting and functioning while her perception of reality was changing. But this is where the Lindsay Clancy case gets complicated. Katherine’s experience can help us understand what psychosis may feel like from the inside. It cannot tell us what Lindsay Clancy was experiencing on January 24, 2023. So tonight, we’re reacting to the interview and breaking down the psychology behind it: What hallucinations can actually feel like Why someone experiencing psychosis may still appear functional How people try to rationalize abnormal perceptions Insight and reality testing Intrusive thoughts vs. psychotic beliefs Why one survivor’s experience cannot be used as a diagnostic template for another person And what all of this does — and does NOT — mean for the Lindsay Clancy trial Cora, Dawson, and Callan remain at the center of this tragedy. #LindsayClancy #PostpartumPsychosis #CriminallyObsessed #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeLive #Psychology #ForensicPsychology @CriminallyObsessedLindsay Clancy Trial Week 2: What the Psych Evidence Actually ShowsThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-08-08 | Week 2 of the Lindsay Clancy trial gave us some of the most important psychological testimony yet.
Tonight I’m breaking down Days 5–9 with a psychology-first focus: severe sleep disturbance, psychosis vs. delirium, medication and toxicology, screening tools, disclosure and collateral information, help-seeking behavior, and something I think is especially important—what a mental-status exam can and cannot tell us about someone outside that specific moment in time.
We’ll go directly to the courtroom testimony and examine what the witnesses actually said, what the evidence supports, and where important questions remain.
As always, this is educational psychological analysis—not a diagnosis of Lindsay Clancy or anyone involved in this case. And throughout this discussion, we will keep Cora, Dawson, and Callan at the center of why this case matters.

#LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #postpartumpsychosis #postpartumanxiety #DrVonaDr. Vona Reacts to Cuomos Interview with Steve ShirillaThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-08-05 | #mackenzieshirilla #natalieshirilla steveshirilla #chriscuomo Steve Shirilla recently sat down with Chris Cuomo to discuss the conviction of his daughter, Mackenzie Shirilla—and the interview raises some fascinating questions that deserve a closer look.
Does intentionally creating a deadly crash necessarily mean Mackenzie intended to die too? Can someone experience genuine amnesia after severe trauma, or is “I don’t remember” a strategy that prevents their story from being challenged? And does the evidence support framing this case as an attempted murder-suicide rooted in intimate-partner violence?
Tonight, I’m reacting to the interview and separating the court’s legal findings from the psychological interpretations being presented. We’ll examine suicidal intent versus extreme self-endangerment, adolescent risk perception, traumatic amnesia, malingering, emotional dysregulation, coercive control, family accountability, and the limits of analyzing someone who has never been personally assessed.
I’ll also address where I agree, where I have questions, and where some very confident conclusions go further than the available evidence allows. Nuance is not exoneration—and questioning an interpretation does not erase the devastating deaths of Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan.

#jailcallsThe Psychology of the Nancy Guthrie Ransom Notes: What the Language May RevealThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-08-03 | The Nancy Guthrie case has entered a new phase. Investigators have publicly released the ransom notes, surveillance images, and a detailed behavioral appeal in hopes that someone recognizes the person responsible or someone who knows what happened. Tonight, we'll examine the actual primary source documents released by the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Rather than speculating about guilt or identity, we'll analyze the language, communication patterns, investigative strategy, and the psychology behind why law enforcement chose to release these materials now. As a psychology professor, I'll discuss concepts including behavioral leakage, communication under stress, cognitive biases, persuasion, loyalty, and how investigators use public behavioral appeals to generate leads. We'll also review: The newly released ransom notes The sheriff's media release Surveillance images and investigative timeline Behavioral indicators investigators are asking the public to recognize What these releases may tell us about the direction of the investigation This discussion is intended for education and analysis. All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. Any psychological observations are based on publicly available information and should not be interpreted as clinical diagnoses or conclusions regarding any person's guilt or innocence. 🧠 The Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona combines psychology, research, and primary-source analysis to better understand criminal behavior while keeping victims and their families at the center of the conversation. 👍 If you enjoy evidence-based true crime, please like, subscribe, and join us live! #NancyGuthrie #TrueCrime #DrVona

Tonight, we are putting the court proceedings and offender-centered conversations aside to remember the two young men at the heart of this case.
We’ll talk about who Dominic and Davion were, the futures they were building, the people who continue to love them, and the lasting impact of traumatic loss on their families and communities. We’ll also explore anniversary reactions, secondary losses, continuing bonds, and why ethical true-crime coverage must preserve victims’ identities beyond the circumstances of their deaths.
This livestream is intended to honor Dominic and Davion with compassion, dignity, and respect. Please extend that same respect to their loved ones in the chat and comments.

#DominicRusso #DavionFlanagan #MackenzieShirilla #drvonaLindsay Clancy vs. Andrea Yates: Postpartum Psychosis, Forgiveness & the Law | LIVEThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-08-01 | Two mothers. Two devastating family tragedies. Two husbands who publicly chose forgiveness.
In this live psychological deep dive, Dr. Vona compares the cases of Lindsay Clancy and Andrea Yates, examining the clinical signs of postpartum psychosis, severe sleep disruption, mood deterioration, delusions, hospitalization, treatment failures, and the difficult question of criminal responsibility.
We will explore: The psychiatric decline reported before each tragedy The similarities and crucial differences between the cases Intrusive thoughts versus psychotic beliefs and commands Why organized behavior does not automatically rule out psychosis Postpartum psychosis and its relationship to bipolar-spectrum illness The different legal outcomes and insanity standards Patrick Clancy and Rusty Yates’s decisions to forgive Whether forgiveness supports a change-from-baseline narrative The distinction between understanding mental illness and excusing harm
This discussion centers the children and families whose lives were permanently changed. The purpose is not to sensationalize these deaths or stigmatize mothers experiencing postpartum mental illness. Most people with postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, or psychosis do not harm their children.
This program is presented for educational and psychological analysis. It does not constitute a clinical diagnosis, legal advice, or a declaration of guilt or innocence.
Join the live conversation and share your perspective respectfully:
Does the Clancy case follow the same psychiatric pattern seen in Andrea Yates—or are the differences too significant to compare?

In this evidence-based live, Dr. Jaime Vona, psychology professor, walks through the juvenile probable-cause ruling, Ohio’s aggravated-murder and murder statutes, the adult trial court’s findings and the 2024 appellate opinion affirming the convictions. We will separate purpose from prior calculation and design, compare probable cause with proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and examine how hindsight bias, binary thinking and mental-state inference shape public understanding of the case.
This discussion is educational and evidence-focused. It does not diagnose Mackenzie Shirilla or claim access to anyone’s private mental state. Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan remain central to the conversation, and their families’ losses are treated with care.

We'll examine:
• The graduation party and Brushwood Lane gathering • Friends' testimony • Life360 location data • Snapchat communications • Toxicology evidence and what it can (and cannot) tell us • Crash reconstruction • Event Data Recorder (EDR) evidence from the vehicle • The strongest prosecution and defense arguments
Rather than asking viewers to accept one piece of evidence in isolation, we'll look at how multiple independent sources either converge—or conflict—to reconstruct the final hours before the crash.
As always, this discussion is evidence-based, psychology-informed, and victim-centered. The goal is understanding the record while respecting Dominic Russo, Davion Flanagan, their families, and everyone affected by this tragedy.
📌 Tonight's discussion is based on the complete trial transcripts and courtroom testimony.

Tonight, we go directly into the record, including Christopher Martin’s exact trial testimony, Mackenzie’s competing text account from the bindover proceeding, and the adult trial testimony about the vehicle’s final shift sequence.
Less than a month before the crash that killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan, the July 17 highway confrontation created two sharply different narratives. We will examine what each source actually says, why the prior incident mattered to the prosecution’s theory of intent, what the defense challenged, and how the courts treated it.
Dr. Vona separates documented facts, attributed claims, and psychological interpretations while exploring coercive communication, conflict escalation, family-system intervention, and hindsight bias. This is educational analysis, not a diagnosis, and demeanor is never treated as proof of deception. Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan—and the lasting impact on their families—remain at the center.

When does true crime cross the line from awareness to entertainment?
Tonight, we're reacting to Christine Russo's recent discussion about ethical true crime, victim advocacy, internet culture, and the impact public cases have on surviving families.
As a psychology professor and someone whose own life has been deeply affected by homicide, I wanted to approach this conversation with empathy, evidence, and respect. Rather than choosing sides, we'll examine the psychological concepts behind online behavior—including parasocial relationships, confirmation bias, desensitization, and the algorithms that shape the content we consume.
This livestream is not intended to attack anyone. Instead, it's an opportunity to have an honest conversation about how creators, viewers, and online communities can engage with true crime responsibly while remembering the real people behind every case.
I appreciate everyone who joins these discussions with an open mind and a commitment to respectful dialogue.
💜 Thank you for being part of this community.

It can bring awareness. It can even help solve cases. But where is the line between education and exploitation?
Tonight I'm thoughtfully reacting to Christine Russo's recent podcast on ethical true crime.
This isn't a hate stream, and it isn't about defending every creator.
It's about having an honest conversation rooted in psychology, victimology, research, and lived experience.
As a psychology professor—and someone whose own life has been profoundly shaped by homicide, the criminal justice system, and decades of supporting a victim's family. I believe we can discuss difficult cases while never losing sight of the people behind them. #mackenzieshirilla #natalieshirilla #drvona #christinerusso #dominicrusso
Tonight we'll explore:
Ethical true crime Victim-centered reporting Social media algorithms Parasocial relationships Harassment vs. accountability Research on grief and media psychology
Let's have the conversation with compassion, facts, and respect.
Christine, if you ever happen to see this, thank you for starting a conversation that I think is worth having. We may not agree on every point, but I believe we share something important: a desire to see victims treated with dignity and for conversations around true crime to become more thoughtful. If our paths ever cross, I'd welcome that conversation. @TheBigSisterUnhingedMackenzie Shirilla: Criticizing Christine? #mackenzieshirilla #dominicrussoThe Minds Behind True Crime with Dr. Vona2026-07-14 | Intro 00:00 04:00 Keezy.irl's docs on Mrs Russo 50:00 Keezy.irl on Big Sister Unhinged

Tonight, I’m breaking down the coded language, unfinished sentences, emotional reactions, contradictions, and full-on gibberish that leave everyone asking the same question: What did they really mean?
Using psychology, communication patterns, and behavioral analysis, we’ll examine how Mackenzie and Natalie speak to one another, what may be hidden beneath the chaos, and whether the confusion reflects avoidance, manipulation, entitlement, emotional enmeshment—or simply a mother-daughter communication style that makes sense only to them. 😳☎️
We’ll listen closely, translate the most bizarre moments, and separate what is actually said from what viewers may be assuming. This is analysis and commentary—not diagnosis—and all opinions are based on publicly available material.
