Summary

In this episode of Serial Killers and Murderous Minds, true crime creator Annie Elise brings a case that has stayed with her—the murder-for-hire of Kendra Hatcher. Annie opens the episode by sharing what drew her so deeply to this disturbing story and why it stands out to her as a chilling example of emotional fixation spiraling out of control.

Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels then examine how jealousy, entitlement, and unresolved loss pushed Brenda down a dark and irreversible path. After losing the man she believed was her future, Brenda began quietly surveilling her ex and fixating on the woman who replaced her—allowing resentment to fester and violent fantasies to take hold.
Later, Annie sits down with Dr. Tristin Engels for an in-depth psychological discussion, breaking down the behavioral patterns, motivations, and warning signs that reveal how unmet expectations can distort reality—and ultimately lay the groundwork for murder.
