Robin Dreeke FBI Interview: Profiling Brendan Banfield, Reading Juliana Magalhães & Understanding "Wound Collectors"

He was a federal agent who allegedly built a murder plot designed to be undetectable. She was an au pair who lied for a year before becoming the prosecution's star witness. And in Ohio, a surgeon allegedly waited eight years to kill the woman who left him.

In this special interview, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — delivers a comprehensive behavioral breakdown of the Brendan Banfield case and connects it to the psychology behind the Tepe murders.

Robin analyzes Banfield's alleged planning: the fake fetish profile created in Christine's name, the stranger groomed for a month to play the role of rapist, the staged crime scene, the 911 call where Banfield identified himself as a federal agent and played the hero. What does this level of alleged premeditation tell us? How does law enforcement training shape this kind of alleged crime? And where do people who think they're untouchable finally slip up?

Then we turn to Juliana Magalhães — the woman who admitted firing a shot into Joseph Ryan's chest and testified she watched Banfield stab Christine to death. She wrote jail letters promising to protect him. She told his mother she'd "take the blame." Now she's negotiating with Netflix. Robin evaluates her credibility: How does a behavioral expert assess a witness who changed her story after a year? Does financial incentive destroy testimony? And what does her relationship with Banfield reveal about manipulation and control?

Finally, Robin explains the concept of "wound collectors" through the lens of the Tepe murders — people who carry grievances for years until something triggers them to act.

Both Banfield and McKee maintain their innocence.
