Summary

What do you do when your son, raised in a good family, suddenly goes off the rails and builds his own weapon? This episode dives into the haunting case of a family grappling with the realization that their adult son may have crossed into dangerous territory, despite their attempts to intervene. From the complexities of mental health systems that leave families powerless to the rise of ghost guns—firearms manufactured at home without regulation—this story paints a chilling picture of modern challenges in crime prevention. As Robin Dreeke unpacks the psychological and systemic failures at play, one question lingers: how do we stop tragedies like this when the tools and red flags are hidden in plain sight?

It kind of reminds me of Koberger a little bit.

0:55.0

I mean, the mom never said anything in Koeberger's case, but from the Howard Blum book,
