Welcome back. You're listening to episode two of the Killer Thorn of Gypsy Rose. Analysis

some coverage of it. But what I'm going to do, particularly from this point forward, is to

really take a deep dive behind the headlines. Beyond what the reporters that had three or four

minutes out of a half hour newscast to talk about, and get into the nitty gritty of what was

really going on here. And that kind of starts with looking at the psychological dynamic between

predators and their prey. You know, it's pretty obvious on a surface level, predators prey on the

weak, right? I mean, they just do. People who aren't physically nor mentally strong enough to resist,
