Real Crime Profile

Real Crime Profile / Wondery·Hosted by Jim Clemente, Laura Richards, Lisa Zambetti and Kathy Canning-Mello·634 episodes

SocietyCultureDocumentaryTrue CrimeExpert analysisVictim-sensitiveCo-hostedWeeklyCase updatesBehavior profiling

Join Jim Clemente (former FBI profiler), Laura Richards (criminal behavioral analyst, former New Scotland Yard) and Lisa Zambetti (Casting director for CBS' Criminal Minds) as they profile behavior from real criminal cases.

Why listen

Real Crime Profile is true crime analysis from people who have worked close to real investigations: former FBI profiler Jim Clemente, criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards, and Lisa Zambetti from Criminal Minds. Episodes feel like a working case discussion, with the hosts breaking down offender behavior, victim risk, media coverage, and justice-system failures rather than retelling crimes for shock value. It is a strong fit for listeners who want expert, victim-sensitive true crime with enough conversation to stay accessible.
