LIVE: Paul Caneiro Trial Analysis — Psychotherapist on Why Family Annihilators Kill Children
Description
Paul Caneiro allegedly murdered his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children Jesse and Sophia at their Colts Neck, New Jersey home in November 2018 — then set fires at both properties to cover his tracks. The prosecution says it all started when Keith discovered Paul had been stealing from him. Within hours, Keith's entire family was dead. Eight-year-old Sophia was stabbed 17 times, including a wound to her left eye, and prosecutors allege she was still alive when the fire was set.
Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology of family annihilation in real time. What drives someone to kill the people closest to them rather than face exposure? Why do these killers often include children in the violence? And what does the level of overkill reveal about their psychological state at the moment of the crime?
We're examining the evidence presented at trial — the surveillance footage of Paul disconnecting his security cameras at 1:28 a.m., the doctored bank statements, and the witness testimony describing Paul sitting calmly in his Porsche outside his own burning home. Shavaun addresses Paul's courtroom behavior, including wiping his eyes during testimony about the children, and explains how experts distinguish genuine grief from performance. Join us live as we unpack one of New Jersey's most disturbing alleged family massacres with expert psychological analysis.
