Summary
Explore the most disturbing facets of the James Craig case in this third episode of "Unmasking the Mind of a Murderer." Licensed psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and Hidden Killers Host Tony Brueski examine the chilling manipulation of James Craig's family, especially his daughter, and the alleged use of children in a post-crime cover-up. This episode confronts the profound psychological abuse inflicted within the family system.
We analyze the "deepfake letter" incident: What kind of mind asks their child to create fake video evidence? Could this be a form of psychological grooming, and does this behavior cross the line from narcissism into antisocial or psychopathic territory? The discussion delves into the long-term emotional warfare within the family. What kind of conditioning might lead a child not to recoil immediately from such a request? We explore how love and trauma can become tragically entangled in these relationships and the immense psychological toll on children used as alibis or tools by a parent.
Furthermore, we investigate Angela Craig's experience in her final months. Was she being gaslit? Could she have sensed the danger, and was she emotionally silenced? We identify signs of coercive control that may not always resemble traditional abuse. Finally, this episode addresses the devastating collapse of family systems when a parent is accused of such a heinous crime. How do children begin to process the possibility that their father killed their mother? What role does denial play, and how can therapists help them rebuild their identity after such profound trauma? Learn what steps families and communities should take when emotional predators hide inside the home.

| 0:03.0 | Here now, Tony Bruske. |
| 0:06.0 | There's something especially telling about what people do after the crime. |
| 0:10.0 | When the chaos settles, when the police are watching, when the story starts to slip through their fingers. |
| 0:16.0 | Because that's when the scramble begins, and the truth has to compete with the cover-up. |
| 0:24.1 | And the James Craig case, the cover-up, it's not just sloppy, it's next-level disturbing. |
| 0:31.5 | Prosecutors allege that after Angela died and after the poison trail was starting to catch up on him, |
| 0:39.3 | Craig didn't try to prove his innocence. He allegedly tried to rewrite reality, literally. We're talking about a man who |
| 0:44.8 | from inside a jail cell reportedly drafted a script to her his teenage daughter. Not a heartfelt |
| 0:49.9 | apology. Honey, I'm sorry I did this. This was horrible. I'm a maniacal monster. Run for your life. |
| 0:58.8 | No. Also not an I'm innocent message either. No. He sent her a script for a deep fake video |
| 1:08.9 | where Angela would confess on camera to killing herself. This man doesn't know |
| 1:14.6 | how these things work clearly because that's not the easiest thing to pull off. Even if you're |
| 1:19.2 | really trying to make it look real, it's not going to hold up in court. I mean, think about this. |
| 1:26.3 | Your wife is dead. |
| 1:28.2 | You're being investigated for her murder. |
| 1:30.4 | You're behind bars, and your next move is asking your daughter to help create fake suicide |
| 1:35.9 | evidence using your mother's image and voice. |
| 1:39.1 | That's not desperation. |
| 1:40.6 | That's delusion with a criminal plan. |
| 1:44.0 | And quite honestly, one of the first times I'm |
| 1:45.7 | seeing deep fakes or AI being used to try and hide a crime. I'll remember this. Maybe we all will. |
