The

The Welcome back to Missing. I am Tim here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today?

0:42.7

I am doing fantastic today, Tim, mostly because our guest, who we have on today, brings a lot of knowledge, brings a lot of passion. She's a real powerhouse.

0:50.7

But before we get to that, Tim, you're a real powerhouse. How does that feel? How are you doing?

0:55.2

Thanks for asking Lance. I am doing great today. I'm very excited to introduce this conversation that we had

1:01.4

with Dr. Michelle Ward, who is a criminal psychologist and a clinical neuroscientist. She has her own podcast and has been on TV a lot.

1:13.5

And we have a great conversation with her.

1:15.0

We really do.

1:15.5

And I love it when people of her stature can join the show and bring not only all of this knowledge, but a little bit of levity.

1:21.5

She's really funny.

1:22.6

because everything can get kind of too heavy. We always appreciate that when we can hit on all

sorts of emotions while we have a conversation with somebody. But overall, I'd classify this

1:41.7

conversation as a bit provocative. And we do talk a little bit about serial killers and Jeffrey Dahmer and more, because Dr. Ward has a show called Mind of a Monster that is airing now, and they go into Jeffrey Dahmer on that show.

1:56.4

And that show is really a fascinating look at Jeffrey Dahmer if you want to get a real-life account of his crimes. And because we covered so much ground in the conversation that's coming up, we actually

2:05.3

never even touched on Dr. Michelle Ward's nonprofit organization, Innocent Lives Foundation, and

2:11.4

you can check out everything that the Innocent Lives Foundation does at Innocentlivesfoundation.org.

2:16.9

Okay, everybody, thanks a lot for listening.
