Episode 16: Raymond McLeod Is Wanted for Murder and Security Expert Spencer Coursen on Safety Traps
In 2016, Phoenix-resident Raymond McLeod murdered his 30-year-old girlfriend, Krystal Mitchell, while they were visiting friends in San Diego. The scary-AF-looking heavily tatted ex-Marine bodybuilder then thought he could blend in seamlessly if he fled to South America ... and unfortunately, he may have been right. Or, people there don't follow true crime. He's managed to escape capture for five years and the U.S. Marshals Service recently placed him on their Most Wanted List with an unprecedented reward of $50,000 for anyone with information leading to his arrest. After telling Mitchell's story and being even more convinced dating is a complete hellscape, Amanda and Jenna invited on security expert and author Spencer Coursen (www.coursensecuritygroup.com), whose first book "The Safety Trap" hits shelves May 18. As a nontoxic male whose job it is to keep people safe, Coursen offers up some smart takeaways on how to avoid or get out of relationships we know are rife with danger. (1 hour 33 minutes)
