  Psychological Autopsy #6: Sarah - No News Is Not Good News 02.09.2026 1h 7min

  Sarah was 56. Quiet, meticulous, private, and intensely hard on herself, she spent much of her life struggling with anxiety, isolation, and a relentless fear that she was never doing well enough. When she entered a state psychiatric hospital, clinicians described her as a model patient. She caused no trouble. She made no demands. She kept to herself. Eventually, she appeared to be improving. Then she died by suicide. Davis Henry and D. Edward “Dana” Tatum use Sarah’s psychological autopsy to ...

  Psychological Autopsy #5: Sam - He Looked Better (The Danger After Detox) 22.08.2026 59min

  Sam was 28. After years of opioid addiction, his family got him into treatment. He completed medical detox. He was clean, coherent, cooperative, and for the first time in years he looked like himself again. Two days later, he died by suicide. Davis Henry and D. Edward “Dana” Tatum use Sam’s psychological autopsy to examine a pattern families and clinicians still miss: looking better is not the same as being safer. This episode is for anyone who has watched someone come through treatment, gr...

  A 52-year-old man reaches a breaking point within 72 hours of his first arrest. Davis goes in blind as Dana reconstructs the pressure, concealment, and missed signals that came before it.

  Psychological Autopsy #3: Noor - External Reactions, Internal Realities 15.07.2026 1h 27min

  We build courts and jails to process what people do. They are much worse at understanding what is happening inside someone. At first glance, Noor’s story looks like a criminal file: a 19-year-old woman, stalking charges, threats against a judge, a death in jail. A psychological autopsy starts earlier than the public record. Davis Henry and D. Edward “Dana” Tatum reconstruct the months before that ending: severe mental illness, cultural stigma, isolation, psychosis, PTSD, attachment, and a j...

  Psychological Autopsy #2: William - Between Two Lives 27.06.2026 1h 17min

  William was a respected corrections clinician and a father. After his death, a second life surfaced that even the people closest to him had not seen. Davis Henry and D. Edward “Dana” Tatum reconstruct the relationships, secrecy, and competing stories that followed. The autopsy cannot settle every question. It can show the pressures and patterns a normal investigation often skips: concealment, double lives, trust, and how differently one person can look from the inside and the outside. This ...

  Psychological Autopsy #1 Part 3: Susan – The Final Days 13.06.2026 1h 10min

  Part 3 of 3. The scene is on the table. The life is on the table. This part looks at the days before Susan’s death: the relationships, decisions, conflicts, and pressure that only become a pattern when you already know how the story ends. Davis Henry and D. Edward “Dana” Tatum cannot answer every question. They can look at what was visible in hindsight, what was misunderstood in the moment, and where a different response might have mattered. This episode is for listeners who have finished P...

  Psychological Autopsy #1 Part 2: Susan – The Person 13.06.2026 49min

  Part 2 of 3. Who was Susan before she became the subject of an investigation? Davis Henry and D. Edward “Dana” Tatum leave the scene and look at the life: relationships, struggles, behavior patterns, and how the people who knew her experienced her. A death does not explain a person. This part tries to recover the person first. This episode is for listeners who want the human picture that never fits in an incident report. In this episode: - Who Susan was in her relationships and daily life ...

  Psychological Autopsy #1 Part 1: Susan – The Scene 13.06.2026 47min

  Part 1 of 3. Before Susan’s life can be reconstructed, the record has to be laid out: the scene, the known facts, the emergency response, and the evidence people argued over for years. Davis Henry and D. Edward “Dana” Tatum start with what was visible from the outside. The psychological autopsy comes after that. This part is about what first responders, investigators, and a community thought they were looking at, and how incomplete that first picture can be. This episode is for listeners wh...
