LIVE: FBI Behavioral Expert Robin Dreeke On Nick Reiner AND Brendan Banfield | Full Breakdown

Published 1 month ago
Description

We're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke for a deep dive into two of the most analyzed cases in true crime right now: Nick Reiner and Brendan Banfield.

Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's analyzed spies, criminals, and targets of federal investigations. He literally wrote the book on trust and manipulation. Now he's turning that expertise on two cases that refuse to be simple.

Nick Reiner reportedly admits to killing his parents — then frames incarceration as a "conspiracy." Robin explains why post-event narratives are behavioral gold. We examine decades of instability, treatment cycling, and the reported aftermath that didn't involve confusion or collapse. Why does calm movement after violence raise questions? Robin breaks it down.

Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator accused of orchestrating double murder. The prosecution says he spent months planning. But eight months later, police found a framed photo of Brendan and his mistress on the nightstand. He called 911. He gave a detailed statement. Robin examines whether this behavior matches a calculated killer — or whether the theory falls apart.

Juliana Peres Magalhaes spent a year telling police the same story Brendan did. Then she flipped. From jail, she wrote that she still loved him. Robin analyzes who was really in control — and what to watch for when she testifies.
