We've all seen it on tv. We've all seen it in the movies we've watched as the detectives go and find the bad guy, and they do it in less than 45 minutes. On top of that, we've all seen how cooperative everyone is and how easy it is to put someone in jail. But is it really, is that the way it works or is that just bullshit?
Today we have Vic Ferrari, a 20-year veteran of the new york City Police Department, as a detective who has seen everything from car thefts to murder and anything in between.

Criminal Psychologist Linda Sage
What makes a killer? Is it nature or nurture? Not until Jack The Ripper and HH Holmes did the public even recognize the proclivity to kill in mass.
We know it must have been a psychological need to kill throughout history but only in modern times has the human race begun to study and tear apart psychology.
Our questions today are: does culture and nurture change how people kill and more?
Linda Sage is an expert on the psychology of serial killers and joins us today.

The Monster Withing: Get out of your head with Brian Sachetta
Anxiety. We all have experienced it. Most people endure this emotion easily. Starting a new job, moving to a new city. The speed dating we signed up for, or the pressures of starting a family. We ask ourselves what will happen and worry about outcomes because the future is indeterminate and can change on a whim because of seemingly innocent and benign events. But for some of us, anxiety is a dark emotionless beast that looms around the corner, waiting to tear us apart. His pervasiveness and tenacity are never-ending, screaming the worst-case scenarios at us and never letting a positive thought boil to the surface. For those who have never experienced an attack of anxiety, this punishing will never know the debilitating and debilitating effect that it has on life today.
We talked to a man who has experienced this monster up close and wants to share his story with the world so others can learn to escape the tyranny of its grip. Brian Sachetta is an expert on anxiety and is the author of the Get Out of Your Head Book series.
The Bone Collector: "Rocky" Digati
Humans collect all sorts of interesting things. Some love to decorate their houses and homes with dairy cows, green frogs, and Marvel characters. All these things are considered normal and benign, for the most part.
Some of us, however, enjoy collecting more obscure items. Items that may be considered taboo to many. Or even morose and possibly diabolical and malignant.
True crime authors and amateur sleuths consider these items ubiquitous with sinister meaning and serial killers, yet that is only the few and not the majority of the reasons behind the drive to gather and display these more macabre and eclectic items.
Do they represent the obsession with death, or could they be more about celebrating life?
In this episode of Things I want to Know we delve deep into the world of the eccentric and the strange as we ask the questions everyone wants to know.
Rocky can be found at her website www.darkerartsstudio.com
and she hosts a podcast The Macabre World: Darker Arts Radio Hour

The Dark Side Of Being with The Mental Health Comedian Frank King
There have always been taboo subjects that no one wants to talk about in public. In the modern age, many of these once-taboo subjects are now out in the open. The free discourse of thought is something that our modern minds have become used to.
Yet there is one subject that no one wants to talk about. The one thing that is responsible for more deaths every year than automobile accidents, War, and Natural disasters combined. Easily preventable and often the last thing on anyone’s mind.
The questions I have is this: Why is it not talked about, why are they overwhelmingly male, and why are we not paying closer attention?
Today Andrea and I are joined by Frank King, , a former writer on The Tonight Show for 20 years, a Corporate Comedian, syndicated humor columnist, and podcast personality, who was featured on CNN's Business Unusual.
He is a Suicide Prevention and Postvention Public Speaker and Trainer
Depression and suicide run his family. He's thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He's fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of ending his life, turning that long dark journey of the soul into a TED Talk, "A Matter of Laugh or Death," www.FrankTEDTalk.com, and sharing his lifesaving insights on Mental and Emotional Health Awareness, with corporation, association, youth (middle school and high school), and college audiences www.TheSuicidePreventionSpeaker.com.
As an Inspirational and Motivational Public Speaker and Trainer, he uses the life lessons from the above, as well as lessons learned as a rather active consumer of healthcare, both mental and physical, to start the conversation giving people who battle Mental and Emotional Illness permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide and to create a common pool of knowledge in which those who suffer, and those who care about them, can swim.

Human Body Parts For Sale- WTF?!?!?!
Paul and Andrea have an interesting topic for everyone this week. So, hold on to your butts. Jeremy Pauley, a self-proclaimed “Collector of Oddities,” thought purchasing human remains through Facebook would be a great idea. Pennsylvania authorities, needless to say, aren’t too keen on this and arrested Pauley. Upon investigating, Pennsylvania police - with help from the F.B.I. – discovered that multiple buckets of human organs, skin, and bones came from Little Rock, Arkansas. The question we raise is Why? These parts belonged to someone. How can you even mail human remains?
