Hope to see more episodes of this show. She does a GREAT job presenting the full picture of the criminal "person" and "psyche". Terribly sorry for the families who lost loves ones as well as for the victims themselves. This show gives you a glimpse of the person who committed the crime. Most people would judge and feel that justice is served, but when you learn of how the criminal was brought up in many cases an abusive family and never given a chance to develop into an adult or had undiagnosed mental illness...it makes one think. Michelle presents both sides in a professional way. PLEASE MORE EPISODES!!!

Quite interesting, hard to understand what makes a person snap into a cold blooded and cold hearted person. God forgive them, because if I were a member of the family's of the victims....I never could .

The criminal psychological (Michelle) is excellent. She was on the stalking show, and her comments made the show. When I saw that she had her own show, I.was happy. She makes this an awesome show. This is what has always interested me in crimes. I.want to know the whys, and Michelle does, also. Watch!
