| 6/26/26 | 'I Didn't Kill Her on the Side of the Road' — How Taylor Parker Gaslit an Entire Investigation | I Didn't Kill Her on the Side of the Road' — How Taylor Parker Gaslit an Entire InvestigationNetflix's Maternal Instinct covers one of the most disturbing true crime cases in recent memory — but the body cam footage and interrogation recordings reveal something the documentary can't show you. As a therapist, I break down Taylor Parker's Cluster B behavior, her sophisticated gaslighting tactics, and the subtle but chilling phrase that Wade picked up on before everything fell apart.15% off Therapy with Betterhelp: http://betterhelp.com/mattphiferCriminal Motives with Matt Phifer — Behavioral analysis of true crime cases through the lens of psychology and human behavior.Karmelo Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Y8_j0njFdfqMf7mYIOXjmpmMr0CITh6🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every day:👉 https://youtube.com/@CriminalMotives?si=7jL5n87VfmGSWH9p📝 Get case files and deeper dives, join my substack:👉 https://substack.com/@criminalmotives📚 Guides & Resources:👉 https://stan.store/MatthewPhiferMSeD🧠 Get 15% off therapy with BetterHelp:http://betterhelp.com/mattphiferTry Opus Clips for free:https://www.opus.pro/?via=criminalmotivesBring your finances together with Monarch and get 50% off: https://monarch.com/referral/174kyzqlww?r_source=share* This post contains affiliate links.

The surveillance footage from the track meet. The body cam video of his arrest. The knife. And the moment Karmelo Anthony looked at a police officer and said "I'm not alleged. I know how this goes. I did it." In this episode Matt Phifer reacts to the newly released footage alongside Court TV's Cody Thomas who was inside the courtroom for the entire trial and then gives his full unfiltered breakdown of what the evidence actually tells us and what people on both sides of this case are still getting wrong.In This Episode:The 911 calls from the track meet — and the chaos of Austin Metcalf's final momentsThe surveillance footage breakdown — what you can actually see and what you can'tKarmelo Anthony's body cam arrest — the crying, the calm, and what it all meansThe knife — why it matters more than people realizeWhy being a victim doesn't give you the right to respond however you wantKarmelo Anthony's appeal — and whether it actually has a chance15% off Therapy with Betterhelp: http://betterhelp.com/mattphiferCriminal Motives with Matt Phifer — Behavioral analysis of true crime cases through the lens of psychology and human behavior.Karmelo Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Y8_j0njFdfqMf7mYIOXjmpmMr0CITh6🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every day:👉 https://youtube.com/@criminalmotives?si=7jL5n87VfmGSWH9p📝 Get case files and deeper dives, join my substack:👉 https://substack.com/@criminalmotives📚 Guides & Resources:👉 https://stan.store/MatthewPhiferMSeD🧠 Get 15% off therapy with BetterHelp:http://betterhelp.com/mattphiferTry Opus Clips for free:https://www.opus.pro/?via=criminalmotivesBring your finances together with Monarch and get 50% off: https://monarch.com/referral/174kyzqlww?r_source=share | — | ||||||
