Hey, y'all, it's me Erica Kelly from Southern Fred True Crime. I'll
want to tell you about a new podcast called Killer Psyche Daily. It's a
bite sized version of the weekly that gives you a quick ten minute rundown every
weekday on the motivations and behaviors of the criminal masterminds, psychopaths, and cold
blooded killers you read about in the news. Host Candice DeLong draws on her
years as an FBI agent and criminal profiler to break down the cases for you.
She'll give you insight into cases like Ryan Grantham and the active Stockton serial
killer. That's right, an active serial killer. Someone was arrested. Is
it the right person? I'm about to play you a clip from the show.

note, this episode contains adult content and is not suitable for everyone. Please
be advised. Most people listening probably know that I'm a former FBI agent and
criminal profiler, but I like to remind people that I was also a psychiatric
nurse for several years beforehand, and like everyone else, I read headlines about
crimes happening every day, and I think about what led that individual to commit
that act of violence, why did they do it? There are certain cases
that stick with me. The Ryan Grantham case was one in particular that grabbed
my attention because it validated my belief that if mental health issues are recognized and
addressed, many acts of interpersonal violence could be prevented. While most of the
world was grappling with the unknown mysteries surrounding the COVID nineteen virus, Canadian actor
Ryan Grantham was planning a murder. The then twenty one year old was a
familiar face thanks to his roles in hit TV series like Riverdale and Supernatural,
as well as the two thousand and ten film Diary of a Wimpy Kid,
But after he murdered his mother on March thirty first, twenty twenty, he
became more famous as a killer than he ever was as an actor. On
that day, Grantham loaded and unloaded his twenty two caliber rifle for about fifteen
minutes before going into the room where his sixty four year old mother, Barbara
Waite, was playing the piano. He then aimed his firearm at the back
of her head and fired. She died instantly. Grantham claimed he murdered his
mother because he wanted to spare her from seeing the violence he had planned.
After he murdered her at their home about an hour outside of Vancouver, British
Columbia, Grantham left to buy beer and marijuana. Then he returned home and
went to bed. Twenty four hours later, with his mother's body still on
the floor in a pool of blood, Grantham packed up his car, intending
to drive across the country to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's official residence in the Canadian
capital of Ottawa. He had three guns, lots of ammunition, twelve Molotov
cocktails, camping supplies, and a map. Hey Prime members listen to the
