Most people listening probably know that I'm a former FBI agent and 14 00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:25,640 criminal profiler, but I like to remind people that I was also a psychiatric 15 00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:30,480 nurse for several years beforehand, and like everyone else, I read headlines about 16 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,879 crimes happening every day, and I think about what led that individual to commit 17 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,840 that act of violence, why did they do it? There are certain cases 18 00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:49,439 that stick with me. The Ryan Grantham case was one in particular that grabbed 19 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,359 my attention because it validated my belief that if mental health issues are recognized and 20 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:02,680 addressed, many acts of interpersonal violence could be prevented. While most of the 21 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,159 world was grappling with the unknown mysteries surrounding the COVID nineteen virus, Canadian actor 22 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:15,240 Ryan Grantham was planning a murder. The then twenty one year old was a 23 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,159 familiar face thanks to his roles in hit TV series like Riverdale and Supernatural, 24 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,199 as well as the two thousand and ten film Diary of a Wimpy Kid, 25 00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:31,479 But after he murdered his mother on March thirty first, twenty twenty, he 26 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:38,680 became more famous as a killer than he ever was as an actor. On 27 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,639 that day, Grantham loaded and unloaded his twenty two caliber rifle for about fifteen 28 00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:49,960 minutes before going into the room where his sixty four year old mother, Barbara 29 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,319 Waite, was playing the piano. He then aimed his firearm at the back 30 00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:02,560 of her head and fired. She died instantly. Grantham claimed he murdered his 31 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:09,319 mother because he wanted to spare her from seeing the violence he had planned. 32 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,159 After he murdered her at their home about an hour outside of Vancouver, British 33 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:23,400 Columbia, Grantham left to buy beer and marijuana. Then he returned home and 34 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:30,000 went to bed. Twenty four hours later, with his mother's body still on 35 00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:35,960 the floor in a pool of blood, Grantham packed up his car, intending 36 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:43,039 to drive across the country to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's official residence in the Canadian 37 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,719 capital of Ottawa. He had three guns, lots of ammunition, twelve Molotov 38 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,840 cocktails, camping supplies, and a map.
