Scott: I'm going to respectfully disagree with what you said. Psychopaths who have their self control higher are still grandiose and lack empathy & sympathy. So while they may never kill it doesn't mean they are 'okay' and fine to exist around us. They would likely hurt others simply to get a boost to their egos, they would wear multiple faces and act corrupted. No matter their upraising and ability to control themselves - They remain toxic individuals. Gravitating to positions of power, which offer them ways to get their ego supply (benefit from others or hurt them for a grandiose high). Taking on responsible positions and abusing them. Psychopath with higher self control would be manifested pretty close to the grandiose narcissistic personality disorder. With similar toxic patterns. Same limits and issues (lack of empathy, lack of love, lack of conscience and guilt). Yet their emotional reactions would be even more imbalanced, for example feeling excitement from disturbing behaviors (antisocial personality disorder has unbalanced and disjointed reactions and not necessary lack of emotions).
The black necklace he's wearing is a petroglyph called "the squatting man" which has been found carved into rocks all around the world. It's theorized to be a vision of a plasma discharge from some ancient solar flare or other type event where the magnetosphere protected the planet from radiation. It's a savior symbol.
@@jonintrovertedpotato3866 I would say narcissists have a deep lack of self-esteem while a psychopath mainly has a lack of empathy and the ability to feel emotions. I think the insecurity at the core of narcissists is not necessarily present in a psychopath (in fact it is unlikely to be there) and so they are driven by different things. A psychopath with self control has no reason or need for other people's attention, unless those people have something the specifically need, whereasa narcissist always needs attention, no matter what kind. So I don't think the comparison is quite that straightforward
Hi Guys from New Zealand!! I really love watching your show. I have a case that I've been ruminating over and it'd be super cool if you could analyse Shandra Vander Ark when you have time. Cheers!!
I agree, he should NEVER be in physical contact with his mother or brother, he is still very angry and he is trying to give answers to get him out of there. He will hurt whomever he wants to with no qualms.
What's so interesting is his grandmother murdered his grandfather. His grandmother was found not guilty but has joked about manipulating the jury and is considered a psychopath. Is psychopathy hereditary?? Also Paris manipulated the babysitter to leave, sexually assaulted his sister and when called 911 after talking to a friend on the phone first, he pretended he was insane and said his sister looked like a demon pumpkin head. He also pretended to do CPR while he was really pacing around the house. So disgusting. What's also interesting is his mother claimed she intentionally got addicted to drugs to gain attention from her own mother. So somewhat similar manipulative behavior and need for attention from the mother.
According to a quick google search, yes, psychopathy tends to run in the genes, and is often associated with abnormal glucose metabolism and/or a low-functioning variant of the MAOA gene on the X chromosome, so it can be passed on to your progeny. Schizophrenia can also be passed on.
I was waiting... waiting... for Morgan to address the fact that Bennett not only stabbed his 4 yo sister to death, but he sexually assaulted and strangled her with his own hands. Bennett diminishes this death as the single mistake from which he should be able to move on. I feel sick.
He's ready (in his opinion) to just put all that behind him and live for today. He doesn't see any point in mulling over the past. He's ready for new adventures.
@@texasray5237 Exactly, his thinking is, "My god, that was a decade ago! Can't we all just move on. It's over and done. I'm ready to get out now and not look back." Sorry, fella, you're never getting out (I hope!).
@msfishandchips7204 I had my first experience of trying to connect with a coworker and experiencing a void, an emptiness, and it was alarming and terrifying. For the first time in my life I finally understood, viscerally, what "The Shape" meant in reference to John Carpenter's Michael Myers of Halloween franchise.
@msfishandchips7204 I'm not saying that my coworker is a Michael Myers, but he is both disturbed and disturbing. There are many people who work with him that are creeped out by him.
This young man literally was raised in the prison system. Imagine all the ways that has messed with his head even further. His “mask” is mainly for survival.
Whether I deal with a narcissist on daily basis or see a killer on TV, I never buy the idea of two personalities, a nice one and an evil one. I think they have actually ONE single (malicious) personality and a (charming) mask. When someone is abusive to you, never give them the excuse : "yeah but he/she also can be very nice". No, the charming mask is not a positive half of their personality, it is a tool to serve the one and only personality they actually have.
Sadly, I have a friend who's adult daughter just left an abusive relationship. She told me, "He's really a good guy, he just loses his temper sometimes." I said, "Could I ask you to just consider this. Perhaps he's really a bad guy who is just nice sometimes so he can keep you around to abuse again later. He's nice when he wants sex or when he just feels like it, but his REAL self is the abuser." She shook her head and didn't accept that. But, about 30 minutes later she revisited the idea and I could see it was sinking in to be true.
Scott: leaving in your “mistake” about Atwood-but then owning it and correcting it-just demonstrates your integrity & professionalism, and makes me value you even more.
Apparently, Charity Bennett (the mother) cut ties with Paris in 2021 because she found out he was seeing a woman who was about to post bail after being arrested and charged with orchestrating a mass shooting. I sincerely hope that the parole board sees past his facade and keeps him there the full 40 years.
46:31 Scott, Scott, Scott, 5 min ago I just said THE SAME THING to my husband. Interviewers often interview inmates sitting right across the table like Erin Caffey and Dr. Phil or Rebecca Fenton and Pierce Morgan. This guy is in cage and he separated from other humans by metal, Hannibal Lecter plexiglass glass and a lock. If this guy can’t be trusted for an hour not to harm, attack or kill another human, he’d better never be released from prison.
@@barbiesergio7663 And let me say this about that . I’m a retired court reporter with 35 years in … probably one of my favorite cases and my favorite deponents is this guy …I spent hours a day, a couple days a week over a year or a year and a half period of time on a case taking testimony from and in the room with Jorge “Rivi” Ayala-Rivera. I sat at a table right next to him. In the same room was one defense attorney and two state attorneys. He was a hitman for Griselda Blanco. He claims he’s killed close to 100 people. I don’t know that that’s true, but he was definitely a hitman. I sat right next to him. He entered the room in cuffs and shackles. Throughout the deposition, his feet were shackled to the table; however, his hands were free or shackled loosely so he was free to move his hands around to eat, drink and make hand gestures. I’ve gone into jails, prisons-nice ones and really disgusting burn-your-shoes-and-clothes-when-you-leave facilities. Never have we taken testimony- even with a videographer in the room- from an inmate where they have to be segregated in a cage like that.
I thought Scott was showing what a real apology looks like! 😅Man, this kid has zero emotion. If he was trying to be cool for his audience, well- another “mistake” on his part. No parole for that one. Uh uh.
The worst part is him saying- feeling powerless is the worst thing. I believe he only felt powerful, when he held the power of life and death over his victim.
The depth of knowledge that Mark brings to the table is priceless. I can't find an adequate adjective. The profundity of TBP individually, and as a whole, can make us better people. And this wisdom is free. Thank you so much guys.
His comment “…and continue my killing SPREE” implies there was more than one killing - has this been looked into? He was very careful about his choice of words throughout the interview.
No, he was just saying that others think he’s going to continue. Which is true, they do. And anything after a first killing would be a “spree”, so him mentioning the words “killing spree” means nothing. However, what DID mean something was that he called it “*MY* killing spree” instead of *a* killing spree… He didn’t kill anyone before his sister, but that word “MY” just shows where his head is at and what he’d LIKE to do. He probably fantasizes about killing his mother. I have no idea why she still stands by him, knowing that SHE was the real target behind his murderous rage. I’m sorry, but she must be stupid.
@@laur131306 I ask why it even matters after he killed her. He was obviously really fked in the head and knows what he did was wrong. You can take one look at his face and see that he has been traumatized by his own actions. If people only knew the power behind them NOT holding this child accountable for the rest of his life, it would change the world that we now have. We all know that this is vile behavior but no one seems to understand that we all have bad things about us that just isn't as readily available to the world on display. And because they aren’t openly "this vile to the whole world", so many people start to not understand that all people make seriously bad mistakes and should still be forgiven if they are truly sorry. Isn’t that the only question that we should be asking? Whether or not this young kid/man is truly sorry for what he has done and I don’t think anybody here can treasonably deny that he is! It's written all over his face while he tries to be as honest about it as humanly possible. Many of you have serious problems even admitting that you lied about this or that or have treated someone else unfairly. Well, this young man is openly admitting he committed a heinous crime to the world. And when they do that, and are sorry for what they did, they shouldn't be mocked and treated with contempt by overly righteous people who really aren't that righteous at all to begin with. They just want to protray themselves to be that way when they really aren't. What kills me is how so many people hear this or that about sociopaths or narcissists on TV or in a book and they never even bother questioning whether what they saw or read is true or not. They just automatically believe what the so-called experts tell them. This type of thinking allows the whole world to be misled oif they assume that all of these ideas are true and correct. Half of what they are hearing or reading is propaganda meant to indoctrinate society to think just the way they want them to. It doesn't mean its all true though, such as psychopaths not being able to feel anything or not having emotions. What they have is emotions and feelings that other people do not understand. And what i have learned first hand is that 99% of the time when someone is calling someone else a narcissist or a sociopath, it is actually that person pointing the finger at someone else who is the real self-righteous phsycopath, narcissist or sociopath. The DSM was created by the government/CIA/FBI and anyone who knows anything at all about the government knows they are corrupted, they lie all of the time and they manipulate and indoctrinate other people all of the time!!! It is their specialty!!!. And they, more than anyone else in any field of so-called professionalism think they are more righteous than the rest of us, when they are clearly more fked up than most people know. I think the Bible even speaks on this when it comes to talking about the "great accusers" and the "Municpalities" as being "the evil ones". Stop judging everyone else and start judging yourselves is what I suggest people start doing more of!! No one is ever going to change the world by studying someone else who makes horrible mistakes. But they can change the world when they openly admit their own wrong doings and truly want to do better and are sorry for what they themselves have done. AND... it is my opinion that this young man is truly sorry for what he has done. And his mom is also choosing to forgive him so that tells me she knows more than any of us about the situation and maybe has some hidden reasons why she is forgiving him. Maybe she knows she was mistreating him or that he was being mistreated by someone else that caused him to do this to his sister. The only reason i commented on this thread was because of how the cpounselors were smirking and poking at this young man when he was given an interview. I find that absolutely incrediblke that any professional would think that will do anything but make a bad situation much worse. It clearly isn't very professional and if we want to change the direction fo society and the bad things that have comne our way, maybe we need to start holding a different segmnent of the population more accountable for their actions instead of always wanting to hold the worse of the worse accountable in an overly aggressive way even when they have repeated or are sorry for what they did....especially if they were children when they did their crimes and their brains were not fully deveopled. That actually is a fact we can prove as a mitigating circumstance for culpability. .
@@gigi9301I read on Wikipedia that his maternal grandmother was tried for conspiring to kill her husband and joked that she worked the jury 😳 The article mentions Paris’s mom intentionally getting hooked on drugs to garner her mother’s attention but it didn’t work. Yikes this family has serious problems. That poor girl
There was a documentary once where his mother’s mother was interviewed. Astonishing interview. She said she thought Paris was very like herself (and I think she mentioned she saw it in her own father) that although she was “socialized”, she was aware that she didn’t have the same feelings as other people. She said all of this very coolly, almost casually. Her daughter, Paris’s mother, seems to have somewhat surprised her by growing up just like other people. Those traits were passed down.
I watched all the segments with Pierre Morgan. Paris was cold as ice. Dude must never be released. The scariest part was when he was asked about his new step brother. That blank expression and pause before he answered spoke volumes....
IMO, he answered The Behavior Panel’s “punishment question” beautifully (without being asked!!). He said that, if someone brutally murdered his potential little daughter, he would give them a second chance. Quite a brilliant yet not-so-brilliant manipulative technique to get out of jail. What an absolutely conning monster.
He's discussing the 'mistake' he made at age 13 that shouldn't be allowed to define HIS life - FFS! Stabbing your four year old sister 17 times is ABSOLUTELY a 'mistake' that should define the rest of your life ... which he has ... unlike his sister who has no rest of her life
My mum was a malignant narcissist & psychopath. She enjoyed tormenting me. Whenever I come across other narcissists I find myself wanting to know them and please them. But I don’t because it’s not safe.
I’m so sorry. You deserve to know you are lovely and you are deserving of love just the way you are. Emotional neglect is very difficult, and I suffered that too. Cheers, friend.
Also I have noticed that reports and documentaries fail to bring up the fact he sexually assaulted her, I feel the fact this part of the case gets down played because of his family and his grandma is rich-rich, but the facts are he not only murdered her but he sexually assaulted her, because he wanted his mother to know that happened to Ella, and that he was the one who did it, and it sucks that they have enabled him to distance himself from that part of his crime.
I think due to media standards a lot of the time they don't dwell on that subject because it draws complaints. Most important is that the judge sentencing him knows exactly what he did and the parole board too.
@@jessicarose2102 Is it possible that youtube's rules about language influence the content of our discussion? Or rather, how far-reaching is the influence? (Including this case - because I imagine that our four teachers here would have something to say about people who kill with vs without sexual assault.
Scott, you made me laugh so much. Thank you for owning your mistake and leaving it in. I LOVE it when people, who are more knowledgeable and more intelligent than me, have the humility to admit when they are wrong. It makes me respect you even more
This interview shows what I fear about the current trend to teach psychopaths ‘cognitive empathy’. No amount of therapy instill empathy, but it does teach psychopaths to better con victims, to draw victims in, until they are ready to pounce. Essentially, the so-called professionals are just making more dangerous psychopaths.
A more accurate statement would be, ‘no amount of therapy can fix a non-functioning amygdala’. It would be like trying to teach an amputee how to wiggle their non-existent fingers.
A documentary on him said his IQ was in the 140s. He's extremely intelligent and thinks he knows what to say. But he doesn't know what he should feel. He's a psychopath. I hope the mother protects herself and her new child..
When anyone who has made serious mistakes wants to start teaching and getting philosophical, without apologizing, is an immediate and major red flag to me.
you are so right Vic, ...good points....of course "sorry" for him means compassion, he doesn't know what that is, ...one would think he has had enough time in jail to fake it...he doesn't want to portray weakness so even a fake sorry is out of the question. that's good for us/society...he isn't going anywhere soon with that stance.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS! His whole background story is interesting, his mother battled a heroin addiction before he was born. She relapsed, they moved around. ALSO, his maternal grandmother was accused and acquitted of murdering his grandfather! The whole story is in a docuseries called The Family I Had.
I think both are true he's shocked she still SAYS she loves him & bitter at her for not hating him. I hope she hates him but not giving him that satisfaction
The scary thing is that I’m the kind of person who would believe someone like that, would give him another chance. I’m glad that there are people who understand these alians and who can protect us from them
The distance of 12 years is no distance at all… minimising stabbing a toddler 17 times at age 13, to the level of a “mistake”makes him someone capable of anything… something is deeply deeply amiss in his brain
When Piers shows him the picture of his sister, I think what he meant by “I don’t deserve to see that picture” was that he doesn’t deserve to be treated that way. He doesn’t deserve to be held accountable any longer. He feels his time was served and he is full of self pity. He looks like he’s angry and then crying for himself.
I read an update after this 2019 Pier interview. It came out he molested his sister...horrible...after watching porn for hours.. He killed her to cover up the molestation. He wanted his mom to think it was because of his anger towards her, but that was to make her feel blame. The mom should not have ever left him alone with his sister ...even if a babysitter, because he attempted to knife the mom before this incident. Now in 2021 the mom cut off contact after finding out he was friends with a woman on bond 2 miles away who was planning a shooting. I wonder if he wanted that lady to kill his mom and little brother.....did not say who she was going to kill. Get away from Crazy. Blood related or not. Run.
1:04;40 .. Chase brings up Night of the Roxbury song.. WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT... SCOTT GOES... That's Chase Huges.. Welcome to the Midnight Storm! Lol lol lol Our next letter is from Tiffany in Wisconsin.
I have a friend on Facebook who also has an IQ of 140 and is also a member of Mensa. He is not arrogant by any stretch. He often says that having a high IQ only means that you are good at filling out IQ tests. There is no doubt that he (Paris) is incredibly intelligent, but having a high degree of intelligence does not necessarily mean that they are also smart or wise.
Why are his symbols and horrorific reading material available to him in prison? That is not consistent with any hope of reform, not to mention reducing incidents inside the facility.
Interesting that his grandmother was implicated in the death of her husband. I believe that psychopathy can also have a genetic factor and he would seem to have inherited it. A stone cold psychopath, pure and simple.
There is a direct correlation between older brother siblings and the age difference between siblings relating to sibling rivalry. My son was 5,5 years when my daughter was born. At first he was playful with her, then his behavior turned menacing towards her. He urinated on her favorite stuffed bunny and threw it behind his bookcase. I saw this and intervened and got help for him.
Thank you Chase for noting the high % of docs that contribute to the DSM (close to 70%) tied closely to big pharma. Transparency so rare yet so needed. Keep it up
1:42:45 when Piers interrupts him you can see his face for a very brief moment HE'S PISSED. Were he not purposely trying to behave, he would've jumped on Piers.
@@edge8572 Could you please stop with this particular brand of verbal diarrhea? You’re engaging in “vaguebook” here on another social media platform, but I think the term still works to describe your clumsy technique. Piss or get off the pot. Be completely transparent with your accusations or STFU.
In the end he mentioned that the most distressed that he feels is powerlessness . That is a red flag for me as killers kill for the sense of ‘power high’.
Chris Watts did a very similar thing with severity softening. He said that one incident in his life shouldn't detract from the rest of his life and become his defining personality (paraphrasing here). Yikes!
This video is fascinating. Looks like the opening scenes of Silence of the Lambs. He has a very creepy vibe. He mainly got excited talking about horror and his magazine group of fans. Then in my opinion watching a high functioning narcissist, interviewing a narcissistic psychopath is wild. Thank you for teaching us and guiding us. xXx
He was 13. But does anyone else feel like he might be worse now? I mean, horror is comforting? Is it? This guy needs a 3D brain scan. What on earth is missing in that brain????
When Paris said: "I shouldn't be judged by one mistake... it's not like I have a film running in my head to replay the memories so I can relive the memories daily." "I don't deserve to be shown her picture." That's exactly who and what he is. He put distance between himself and murdering his 4 years old sister. He is incapable of real emotions, he has no remorse, no apologies, he is just interested in his own life and feelings about himself. He has committed a "mistake", 12 years ago. He has been incarcerated for 12 years, he's done and over it. Why can't people move on? He's practicing for his parole hearing, putting on the best show that he is able to. He is as dangerous 12 years later as he was, if not worse. He said that he wouldn't carry on with his crime spree. He wasn't executed because he was 13 years old at the time of the murder. To have the forethought to plan that his mother would feel the most pain by taking the life of a 4 year old girl, is abhorrent. Christy Sheats kind of abhorrent.
I've seen 3 documentaries on him and what he did to his sister. It's not for the faint of heart. And it may not seem possible, but what he was doing to her and saying, imo seems 10x worse than stabbing his baby sister. I can honestly say he is easily the most dangerous person (imo) that I've studied. I don't have the stomach to post what he did to this baby, but if you want more insight into the kind of person he is and what at 13, he was watching and reading then you can find them on UA-cam. Trigger warning: I watched all of them about 2-3 years ago and I'm still haunted just sitting here watching this and knowing it's just SO MUCH BEYOND the stabbing. He has black eyes, he's calculating, arrogant and if he is released, he WILL, without a doubt, kill again. The dark areas around his eyes just make him that more terrifying...He's a demon!!!
Another great example of how all four of you Scott, Mark, Greg & Chase come from different backgrounds yet blend in together so well. Scott’s favorite subjects psychopaths. The usual I ,I, I, I’s were all there. He may have a high IQ but he isn’t smart enough to not say he reads horror stories all the time. The scariest part is when Pierce asks about what if he was let out would he kill somebody else? He says what and continue the killing SPREE. Made me feel like has he killed more people?!?! Pierce did an amazing job with this interview. The total blank cold look until Pierce gets him mad. Thank you all for another fantastic lesson. See you again next week as always ❣️
I watched a video on this case years ago and I cannot forget this one no matter how hard I try. In the show or documentary I saw, his mother talked about how much she loves him and treasures him and forgives him and it makes me sick. I mean he killed your daughter? I know it’s her son but ugh I don’t get it. 🤢
She could be not allowing Paris to achieve the satisfaction of his intended goal right? Also, does she feel a normal response to Paris' horrific act? Psychopathy runs in the family.
I know it's hard to see byt she still loves her child.the person she remembers as a baby growing. My brother was mentally ill. Very intelligent His iq was 157. According to the army. But still. I loved him so much and helped and took care of him Was one of the hardest thing I did in life. He's dead now. That love never left even though I wanted to choke him to. It's hard to understand I thought about your comment.ok Right I have one child. A Son. He's grown And our kids all do stuff. My son is a good man A stand up person. I think I'd still love him if he had done something this awful. Don't think I couldn't. But that a hard one. Hope this one guy on this show never gets out. He's dangerous
@lindaarrington9397 he not only killed his sister. He sexually assaulted her, too. If that's not enough to kill your love. I don't know what is. It's monstrous.
Thanks guys! Now please don’t call me a fool and scorn me but… Something that really stuck out to me in this case was the neglect. He had been flagged for homicidal behaviour as a young boy, but his mother pulled him from treatment. I think this case is another great example of nature, nurture and gene-environment interaction. Yes, this man is dangerous and by all means a monster: but before that he was a boy who was asking for help and was ignored. I hope education, and awareness will prevent situations like these. A few more points of interest: - Referencing feminist literature & being a rapist himself is… ironic to say the least. - No questioning or references about rehabilitation. - The organism did what made it successful. Who taught him how to be a successful organism? - Substance may have played a part in his brain development. - Asking a known psychopath about his feeling is setting him up for failure. What a dumpster fire. I really hope the parole board can see past his manipulation. It’s such a sad case, and he remains a danger to society, in my opinion.
Agreed The mother wasn't a good influence...don't know where the father was. If that is not a recipe for resentment and anger in a child, I don't know what is.😢
I wish you guys would do the parents of Brian Laundie, I think they had something to do with helping him & then when they realized that he would point the finger at them as well, the made it look like they short himself and “suddenly” remember their sons favorite part of that swamp patch.. and called her dad mr petito and asked if they wanted to go with them.. (this dude looks a bit like the laundries son is why I mentioned it) but who suddenly remembers their own son’s favorite spot and said he took the gun from their flowerbed(?!) and shot himself… that kid liked himself too much… that one bothered me because I think Utah let that little girl down and so did florida that case really bothered me gutted me
The most they did was help him evade capture imo. I think he told them he'd killed Gabby and that he was going to end his life rather than go to jail. They likely discussed where he'd do it etc, which explains them knowing where he was.
@EllaJay That letter though that his mom wrote to him... I think his parents knew he'd killed her, but I think they helped set him up for an escape. I don't think they knew he was off to delete himself and then just let him do it. If my son had done something that stupid and destructive I'd be bereft, but I'd stand by him while he turned himself in (and encourage him to do so). I'd be so devastated for the victim's family and grieve for them, but also the loss of possibility for my child... because I'd know their future was prison. I still would rather my child be alive in prison than dead. I can't imagine knowing my child was off to end their life and just accept that. They were so weird and so shady and I can only believe that they were non-cooperative to give him a head start to get away. If you knew the goal was final, I think they'd have searched earlier with the police to have his body recovered, rather than leave his body to the elements and predation. The whole thing was so sad and so weird. She took the blame with the police rather than tell them she was threatened and needed help. Moab is a tourist destination that sees all kinds of people from everywhere. The officers have to live with the knowledge that they had the opportunity to separate them temporarily, but she willingly left with him, and probably would have after a night in jail. I'm hoping that the case inspired many people in less than great relationships to walk away. The whole situation was so sad. 💔🕊
He doesn't understand love. When he says that he'd give the person who killed his child a second chance he's thinking only of himself. He wants a second chance. He doesn't understand how someone would feel if their child was murdered.
This video hit close to home. I managed to get away from a man who was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder by two different psychiatrists. He was dangerous, but I didn't know it because these monsters don't come with warning labels. I won't bore you with all the details, but luckily, I carefully disengaged myself from him, making him think it was for his benefit. Bennett reminded me of the man I knew because the man I knew implied that he knew the best way to hurt me would be to hurt my son, who was the center of my world. The man I knew also talked about his "dark side" in the third person. - - I hope Bennett is never released. He is smart and evil, which is a monstrous combination, and "the people do not change!". - - Once again, thank you BP for putting together this show. If I had had the knowledge that your show provides, I could have avoided an extremely scary near miss that still haunts me.
Everyone needs to pay attn. This man is on a mission. He's constantly CONVEYING: 'DON'T SLEEP ON ME'... Not verbally, of course. it's all in his facial language. He's thinking. And he's plotting.
Well if psychopaths are born this way you can’t really heal them and he’s not trying to say he’s not psychopath, he’s just trying to convince us he’s not a danger because he can control himself now even if he’s different.
When Piers is asking about his ability to recall the night of the murder Paris responds something along the lines of “it’s not like a film I can play in my head when I want to.” This means he is neither tormented or even bothered by memories of the murder. “When I want to” as opposed to suffering from recurring nightmares, vivid awful flashbacks etc. Scary.
That’s not with that means he was asked multiple questions because piers said people say he has a photogenic memory. He was talking about his memory over all. He avoided the question really about the night he killed Ella.
While I'm not saying you're wrong, it may be disdain for what happened, the act if you will, or even for being locked up because of it, either way, there's no doubt this guy is something else. He's in a league with few others.
Do google research. The mother is an absolute horror show and I could not hate her more, especially her listening in on the interview pretending to be loving, scared, and a victim. An evil, evil woman.
I just did a bit of digging on her. Apparently, she is the daughter of a psychopathic woman who was accused of the attempted murder of her husband. Apparently, her mother was controversially found "not guilty" by the court, but she was convinced that her mother really did it. She got addicted to drugs like narcotics to try to get her mother's attention. She, however, was never interested. When Ella was 2 and Paris was 9, she relapsed back into her drug addiction. In addition to that, when Ella was born, Paris was no longer the sole centre of attention. This, along with his mother's relapse into drug addiction, caused a lot of animosity and conflict between them. I'm sure there's more to it, but his mother had a troubled childhood as well. I don't know if this helps explain things, but that's what I gathered from my research into it.
My dad was either a psychopath or sociopath, never diagnosed. I think he was fully aware of what morality SHOULD be, but felt that none of it applied to him. He thought it was ... clever?... that he got away with killing the neighbor's dog and killing, then reviving and then he killing again his cat's kittens. My point for this is I don't believe a psychopath doesn't understand morals. They can fully understand them from an intellectual point of view, and from a point of this is a tool I can use, but not from the gut level emotion. I think that is where my dad would trip himself up because he would occasionally reveal his true self. Maybe, on purpose to get a reaction or maybe because he missed the mark on what the receiver would see. I still have very confused about this man who gave me the only relief from my abusive mother, while he was actually the man behind the scene pulling the strings and perpetuating his own abuse.
@@michelemiletich7540 pretty much. Not that Mom was perfectly innocent, but he engineered a LOT of situations so that he could be the good guy and "rescue" me from my Mom. Even now, it's hard to separate out the fact that my dad was the only adult whoever stuck up for me or ever called my mom out on her behavior, and the later learned knowledge that he was triggering her and feeding her dislike for me.
I think this guy is the perfect example of what happens when a psychopath goes to therapy. He gives the feeling of someone who thought deeply (maybe he was forced to in prison) about himself and and gets that he's different from the majority. He can't change his nature though. As simple as that. He's still a psychopath, but an insightful one. Really fascinating. You guys did a great job.

Scott: I'm going to respectfully disagree with what you said. Psychopaths who have their self control higher are still grandiose and lack empathy & sympathy. So while they may never kill it doesn't mean they are 'okay' and fine to exist around us. They would likely hurt others simply to get a boost to their egos, they would wear multiple faces and act corrupted. No matter their upraising and ability to control themselves - They remain toxic individuals. Gravitating to positions of power, which offer them ways to get their ego supply (benefit from others or hurt them for a grandiose high). Taking on responsible positions and abusing them.
Psychopath with higher self control would be manifested pretty close to the grandiose narcissistic personality disorder. With similar toxic patterns. Same limits and issues (lack of empathy, lack of love, lack of conscience and guilt). Yet their emotional reactions would be even more imbalanced, for example feeling excitement from disturbing behaviors (antisocial personality disorder has unbalanced and disjointed reactions and not necessary lack of emotions).
The black necklace he's wearing is a petroglyph called "the squatting man" which has been found carved into rocks all around the world. It's theorized to be a vision of a plasma discharge from some ancient solar flare or other type event where the magnetosphere protected the planet from radiation. It's a savior symbol.
@@jonintrovertedpotato3866 I would say narcissists have a deep lack of self-esteem while a psychopath mainly has a lack of empathy and the ability to feel emotions. I think the insecurity at the core of narcissists is not necessarily present in a psychopath (in fact it is unlikely to be there) and so they are driven by different things. A psychopath with self control has no reason or need for other people's attention, unless those people have something the specifically need, whereasa narcissist always needs attention, no matter what kind. So I don't think the comparison is quite that straightforward
Hi Guys from New Zealand!! I really love watching your show. I have a case that I've been ruminating over and it'd be super cool if you could analyse Shandra Vander Ark when you have time. Cheers!!
He never once says he wishes he could turn back time or that he wishes he had never done it......
This guy should never, ever, ever be paroled. EVER!
I agree, he should NEVER be in physical contact with his mother or brother, he is still very angry and he is trying to give answers to get him out of there. He will hurt whomever he wants to with no qualms.
What's so interesting is his grandmother murdered his grandfather. His grandmother was found not guilty but has joked about manipulating the jury and is considered a psychopath. Is psychopathy hereditary?? Also Paris manipulated the babysitter to leave, sexually assaulted his sister and when called 911 after talking to a friend on the phone first, he pretended he was insane and said his sister looked like a demon pumpkin head. He also pretended to do CPR while he was really pacing around the house. So disgusting. What's also interesting is his mother claimed she intentionally got addicted to drugs to gain attention from her own mother. So somewhat similar manipulative behavior and need for attention from the mother.
His father was also diagnosed with schizophrenia, so it's a whole bunch of different mental disorders there
According to a quick google search, yes, psychopathy tends to run in the genes, and is often associated with abnormal glucose metabolism and/or a low-functioning variant of the MAOA gene on the X chromosome, so it can be passed on to your progeny. Schizophrenia can also be passed on.
I was waiting... waiting... for Morgan to address the fact that Bennett not only stabbed his 4 yo sister to death, but he sexually assaulted and strangled her with his own hands. Bennett diminishes this death as the single mistake from which he should be able to move on. I feel sick.
The comment I was looking for. That man is extremely deranged
He has moved on.
@@texasray5237In what sense?
He's ready (in his opinion) to just put all that behind him and live for today. He doesn't see any point in mulling over the past. He's ready for new adventures.
@@texasray5237 Exactly, his thinking is, "My god, that was a decade ago! Can't we all just move on. It's over and done. I'm ready to get out now and not look back." Sorry, fella, you're never getting out (I hope!).
Like Scott's description of "a body running around trying to find ways to please itself" what a great description.
Ha!👍
@msfishandchips7204 I had my first experience of trying to connect with a coworker and experiencing a void, an emptiness, and it was alarming and terrifying. For the first time in my life I finally understood, viscerally, what "The Shape" meant in reference to John Carpenter's Michael Myers of Halloween franchise.
@msfishandchips7204 I'm not saying that my coworker is a Michael Myers, but he is both disturbed and disturbing. There are many people who work with him that are creeped out by him.
“Just a body running around with nobody in it.” This is the most accurate description of a psychopath that I’ve ever heard.
The fact that he keeps talking about a "mistake" should be enough to deny him any chance on parole.
This young man literally was raised in the prison system. Imagine all the ways that has messed with his head even further. His “mask” is mainly for survival.
Exactly
Whether I deal with a narcissist on daily basis or see a killer on TV, I never buy the idea of two personalities, a nice one and an evil one. I think they have actually ONE single (malicious) personality and a (charming) mask. When someone is abusive to you, never give them the excuse : "yeah but he/she also can be very nice". No, the charming mask is not a positive half of their personality, it is a tool to serve the one and only personality they actually have.
I agree with you 100%. I have an evil, narcissistic older brother and had a narcissistic mother. You are correct.
Agree I have had friends you described exactly
Sadly, I have a friend who's adult daughter just left an abusive relationship. She told me, "He's really a good guy, he just loses his temper sometimes." I said, "Could I ask you to just consider this. Perhaps he's really a bad guy who is just nice sometimes so he can keep you around to abuse again later. He's nice when he wants sex or when he just feels like it, but his REAL self is the abuser." She shook her head and didn't accept that. But, about 30 minutes later she revisited the idea and I could see it was sinking in to be true.
Sooo accurate!!! Great comment.
I agree totally. They think they are clever manipulating people.
Scott: leaving in your “mistake” about Atwood-but then owning it and correcting it-just demonstrates your integrity & professionalism, and makes me value you even more.
😂
Agree
When he says of his mother’s unconditional love “it astounds me”- his face is saying “I despise her.” it is very creepy.
Apparently, Charity Bennett (the mother) cut ties with Paris in 2021 because she found out he was seeing a woman who was about to post bail after being arrested and charged with orchestrating a mass shooting. I sincerely hope that the parole board sees past his facade and keeps him there the full 40 years.
Greg’s “there’s somebody in there but he’s a mean little ba$t…”. Cracked me up.
😂😂😂
Paris should have said to Piers : " I IDENTIFY as a non-DSM-defined monster and as a parole-fluid villain".
You just made me snarf my drink.
😂😂😂😂
Girl 😂
And definitely not a “fool” to be scorned 😂
Don't be that person. There is no reason to mock what you dont understand
Oh this guy ! The doctor told his mother to stop visiting him, save her money and move to where he can never find her.
Paris Bennett is terrifying!
He also SA'd his Little Sister...He now has a Little Brother!
He should NEVER get out!
He said the thing that's hurt him all these years is that he's only seen as a monster. Not that he feels remorse for doing something awful.
He should never get out of prison!
46:31
Scott, Scott, Scott, 5 min ago I just said THE SAME THING to my husband. Interviewers often interview inmates sitting right across the table like Erin Caffey and Dr. Phil or Rebecca Fenton and Pierce Morgan. This guy is in cage and he separated from other humans by metal, Hannibal Lecter plexiglass glass and a lock.
If this guy can’t be trusted for an hour not to harm, attack or kill another human, he’d better never be released from prison.
Brilliant minds…
@@TheBehaviorPanel You know it
... and on camera.
@@barbiesergio7663
And let me say this about that .
I’m a retired court reporter with 35 years in … probably one of my favorite cases and my favorite deponents is this guy …I spent hours a day, a couple days a week over a year or a year and a half period of time on a case taking testimony from and in the room with Jorge “Rivi” Ayala-Rivera. I sat at a table right next to him. In the same room was one defense attorney and two state attorneys. He was a hitman for Griselda Blanco. He claims he’s killed close to 100 people. I don’t know that that’s true, but he was definitely a hitman.
I sat right next to him. He entered the room in cuffs and shackles. Throughout the deposition, his feet were shackled to the table; however, his hands were free or shackled loosely so he was free to move his hands around to eat, drink and make hand gestures. I’ve gone into jails, prisons-nice ones and really disgusting burn-your-shoes-and-clothes-when-you-leave facilities. Never have we taken testimony- even with a videographer in the room- from an inmate where they have to be segregated in a cage like that.
Scott has more emotion in his Atwood mistake than Paris did in his murder mistake
I thought Scott was showing what a real apology looks like! 😅Man, this kid has zero emotion. If he was trying to be cool for his audience, well- another “mistake” on his part. No parole for that one. Uh uh.
Correction. That would be… “the Atwood incident” (not mistake) 😉
@@Vmurph Right? LOL
Forever heretofore after known as “The Atwood Incident”…🤣🤣🤣
Scott cracks me up.
The worst part is him saying- feeling powerless is the worst thing. I believe he only felt powerful, when he held the power of life and death over his victim.
The depth of knowledge that Mark brings to the table is priceless. I can't find an adequate adjective. The profundity of TBP individually, and as a whole, can make us better people. And this wisdom is free. Thank you so much guys.
Yes! Thinking that exact same thing!
I think the same. I tell people to subscribe. It makes them money and it's a small way we can say thank you.
His comment “…and continue my killing SPREE” implies there was more than one killing - has this been looked into? He was very careful about his choice of words throughout the interview.
Caught that too. Umm, what spree is in his head?
No, he was just saying that others think he’s going to continue. Which is true, they do. And anything after a first killing would be a “spree”, so him mentioning the words “killing spree” means nothing. However, what DID mean something was that he called it “*MY* killing spree” instead of *a* killing spree…
He didn’t kill anyone before his sister, but that word “MY” just shows where his head is at and what he’d LIKE to do. He probably fantasizes about killing his mother. I have no idea why she still stands by him, knowing that SHE was the real target behind his murderous rage. I’m sorry, but she must be stupid.
@@Vmurph but to continue a spree, there must already be a spree, right? I think that's why the choice of phrase is being questioned.
Calling the brutal rape and murder of a four year old - one's four year old sister, a "mistake" is on a whole different level of horrifying.
Yes soooo sick!!!!!!!
Hang on hang on...he assaulted her!!!? I never knew that!😢
Just terrible, I want to vomit!!!!!
@@laur131306 I ask why it even matters after he killed her. He was obviously really fked in the head and knows what he did was wrong. You can take one look at his face and see that he has been traumatized by his own actions. If people only knew the power behind them NOT holding this child accountable for the rest of his life, it would change the world that we now have. We all know that this is vile behavior but no one seems to understand that we all have bad things about us that just isn't as readily available to the world on display. And because they aren’t openly "this vile to the whole world", so many people start to not understand that all people make seriously bad mistakes and should still be forgiven if they are truly sorry. Isn’t that the only question that we should be asking? Whether or not this young kid/man is truly sorry for what he has done and I don’t think anybody here can treasonably deny that he is! It's written all over his face while he tries to be as honest about it as humanly possible. Many of you have serious problems even admitting that you lied about this or that or have treated someone else unfairly. Well, this young man is openly admitting he committed a heinous crime to the world. And when they do that, and are sorry for what they did, they shouldn't be mocked and treated with contempt by overly righteous people who really aren't that righteous at all to begin with. They just want to protray themselves to be that way when they really aren't.
What kills me is how so many people hear this or that about sociopaths or narcissists on TV or in a book and they never even bother questioning whether what they saw or read is true or not. They just automatically believe what the so-called experts tell them. This type of thinking allows the whole world to be misled oif they assume that all of these ideas are true and correct. Half of what they are hearing or reading is propaganda meant to indoctrinate society to think just the way they want them to. It doesn't mean its all true though, such as psychopaths not being able to feel anything or not having emotions. What they have is emotions and feelings that other people do not understand. And what i have learned first hand is that 99% of the time when someone is calling someone else a narcissist or a sociopath, it is actually that person pointing the finger at someone else who is the real self-righteous phsycopath, narcissist or sociopath.
The DSM was created by the government/CIA/FBI and anyone who knows anything at all about the government knows they are corrupted, they lie all of the time and they manipulate and indoctrinate other people all of the time!!! It is their specialty!!!. And they, more than anyone else in any field of so-called professionalism think they are more righteous than the rest of us, when they are clearly more fked up than most people know. I think the Bible even speaks on this when it comes to talking about the "great accusers" and the "Municpalities" as being "the evil ones". Stop judging everyone else and start judging yourselves is what I suggest people start doing more of!! No one is ever going to change the world by studying someone else who makes horrible mistakes. But they can change the world when they openly admit their own wrong doings and truly want to do better and are sorry for what they themselves have done. AND... it is my opinion that this young man is truly sorry for what he has done. And his mom is also choosing to forgive him so that tells me she knows more than any of us about the situation and maybe has some hidden reasons why she is forgiving him. Maybe she knows she was mistreating him or that he was being mistreated by someone else that caused him to do this to his sister.
The only reason i commented on this thread was because of how the cpounselors were smirking and poking at this young man when he was given an interview. I find that absolutely incrediblke that any professional would think that will do anything but make a bad situation much worse. It clearly isn't very professional and if we want to change the direction fo society and the bad things that have comne our way, maybe we need to start holding a different segmnent of the population more accountable for their actions instead of always wanting to hold the worse of the worse accountable in an overly aggressive way even when they have repeated or are sorry for what they did....especially if they were children when they did their crimes and their brains were not fully deveopled. That actually is a fact we can prove as a mitigating circumstance for culpability. .
@@laur131306 he did. I dont think it's in this documentary. But yeah... 😢
Sooo. He feels he shouldn’t have that mistake affect him forever… that mistake affected his sister forever.
No ; nor his Mom. His mom is a psychopath and sister is gone so she is not affected anymore whatsoever.
@@gigi9301I read on Wikipedia that his maternal grandmother was tried for conspiring to kill her husband and joked that she worked the jury 😳
The article mentions Paris’s mom intentionally getting hooked on drugs to garner her mother’s attention but it didn’t work. Yikes this family has serious problems.
That poor girl
There was a documentary once where his mother’s mother was interviewed. Astonishing interview. She said she thought Paris was very like herself (and I think she mentioned she saw it in her own father) that although she was “socialized”, she was aware that she didn’t have the same feelings as other people. She said all of this very coolly, almost casually. Her daughter, Paris’s mother, seems to have somewhat surprised her by growing up just like other people. Those traits were passed down.
Yep.
So if she doesn’t feel emotions either, Paris didn’t hurt her like he thought he would. Right?
@@Audience_Member1OMG That never occurred to me that she might be very similar to Paris.
@@Audience_Member1 Yep. Total Fail
Wow! That’s crazy yo read!
I watched all the segments with Pierre Morgan. Paris was cold as ice. Dude must never be released. The scariest part was when he was asked about his new step brother. That blank expression and pause before he answered spoke volumes....
IMO, he answered The Behavior Panel’s “punishment question” beautifully (without being asked!!). He said that, if someone brutally murdered his potential little daughter, he would give them a second chance. Quite a brilliant yet not-so-brilliant manipulative technique to get out of jail. What an absolutely conning monster.
Bingo! 🎯 And without even being asked! That’s what Peter Hyatt would call an “unsolicited” answer. Seems like that boy has done some homework.
He's discussing the 'mistake' he made at age 13 that shouldn't be allowed to define HIS life - FFS! Stabbing your four year old sister 17 times is ABSOLUTELY a 'mistake' that should define the rest of your life ... which he has ... unlike his sister who has no rest of her life
My mum was a malignant narcissist & psychopath. She enjoyed tormenting me.
Whenever I come across other narcissists I find myself wanting to know them and please them.
But I don’t because it’s not safe.
I’m so sorry. You deserve to know you are lovely and you are deserving of love just the way you are. Emotional neglect is very difficult, and I suffered that too. Cheers, friend.
This guy should never be let out of prison , very scary guy!
My exact thought..he doesn’t exhibit a changed man
Also I have noticed that reports and documentaries fail to bring up the fact he sexually assaulted her, I feel the fact this part of the case gets down played because of his family and his grandma is rich-rich, but the facts are he not only murdered her but he sexually assaulted her, because he wanted his mother to know that happened to Ella, and that he was the one who did it, and it sucks that they have enabled him to distance himself from that part of his crime.
I have no heard that he sexually assaulted her. Was it at the same time when he murdered her? This adds a whole other layer to the chaos.
@@dannishoemake731he raped her when he killed her.
@@dannishoemake731 Yes. Same event.
I think due to media standards a lot of the time they don't dwell on that subject because it draws complaints. Most important is that the judge sentencing him knows exactly what he did and the parole board too.
@@jessicarose2102 Is it possible that youtube's rules about language influence the content of our discussion? Or rather, how far-reaching is the influence? (Including this case - because I imagine that our four teachers here would have something to say about people who kill with vs without sexual assault.
Scott, you made me laugh so much. Thank you for owning your mistake and leaving it in. I LOVE it when people, who are more knowledgeable and more intelligent than me, have the humility to admit when they are wrong. It makes me respect you even more
😮🙂
This interview shows what I fear about the current trend to teach psychopaths ‘cognitive empathy’. No amount of therapy instill empathy, but it does teach psychopaths to better con victims, to draw victims in, until they are ready to pounce. Essentially, the so-called professionals are just making more dangerous psychopaths.
A more accurate statement would be, ‘no amount of therapy can fix a non-functioning amygdala’. It would be like trying to teach an amputee how to wiggle their non-existent fingers.
@@Vmurph I love your analogy. Succinct, and so very true.
Continually calling the brutal horrific rap# and murder of his baby sister, a “mistake” Is so infuriating and disturbing!
A common practice of Psychopaths is to downplay their behaviour.
A documentary on him said his IQ was in the 140s. He's extremely intelligent and thinks he knows what to say. But he doesn't know what he should feel. He's a psychopath. I hope the mother protects herself and her new child..
When anyone who has made serious mistakes wants to start teaching and getting philosophical, without apologizing, is an immediate and major red flag to me.
you are so right Vic, ...good points....of course "sorry" for him means compassion, he doesn't know what that is, ...one would think he has had enough time in jail to fake it...he doesn't want to portray weakness so even a fake sorry is out of the question. that's good for us/society...he isn't going anywhere soon with that stance.
Chris Watts said that same thing,"I shouldn't be judged by the one mistake." What about the victims second chance?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS! His whole background story is interesting, his mother battled a heroin addiction before he was born. She relapsed, they moved around. ALSO, his maternal grandmother was accused and acquitted of murdering his grandfather! The whole story is in a docuseries called The Family I Had.
He's not astounded that his mother still loves him, he's contemptuous. He wanted her to hate him.
So that’s where he’s failed in his villainous plot to hurt her.
@@theVanishingGladiator I don't think he anticipated this outcome at all.
I think both are true he's shocked she still SAYS she loves him & bitter at her for not hating him. I hope she hates him but not giving him that satisfaction
I’ve never heard of him but hope he never gets out of prison. Very scary guy. Thanks your analysis.
He is completely terrifying to me, I hope he never gets out, he creeps me right out in so many ways
The scary thing is that I’m the kind of person who would believe someone like that, would give him another chance. I’m glad that there are people who understand these alians and who can protect us from them
The distance of 12 years is no distance at all… minimising stabbing a toddler 17 times at age 13, to the level of a “mistake”makes him someone capable of anything… something is deeply deeply amiss in his brain
He shouldn't ever be Paroled !!!
State of Texas, max he can serve is 40 years
13:21 😂😂😂 Greg, you are too funny! "Tryin out for Uncle Fester." I had to hit pause I'm laughing so hard. Good one.
The fact that he's only going to be in his fifties when he's released, IF he isn't paroled, is a nightmare.
When Piers shows him the picture of his sister, I think what he meant by “I don’t deserve to see that picture” was that he doesn’t deserve to be treated that way. He doesn’t deserve to be held accountable any longer. He feels his time was served and he is full of self pity. He looks like he’s angry and then crying for himself.
Spot on !! I think that's EXACTLY what the little weirdo meant....then he switched it up.
I watched a few minutes of this. I suspect this man is evil thru and thru. He should never ever ever - not in a million years be let out.
Seen and heard a lot as a psychiatric nurse, but this guy gives me the chills
Fascinating. The Panel are just so good. If I ever decide to date I’d like them to analyse a short clip of the perspective beau..
Some titles to these videos about him, say, sexual assault, why is there no mention of Paedophilia traits, very concerning.
It's not "above" or "below" redemption. It's "beyond" redemption.
I read an update after this 2019 Pier interview. It came out he molested his sister...horrible...after watching porn for hours.. He killed her to cover up the molestation. He wanted his mom to think it was because of his anger towards her, but that was to make her feel blame. The mom should not have ever left him alone with his sister ...even if a babysitter, because he attempted to knife the mom before this incident. Now in 2021 the mom cut off contact after finding out he was friends with a woman on bond 2 miles away who was planning a shooting. I wonder if he wanted that lady to kill his mom and little brother.....did not say who she was going to kill. Get away from Crazy. Blood related or not. Run.

Our next letter is from Tiffany in Wisconsin.
I have a friend on Facebook who also has an IQ of 140 and is also a member of Mensa. He is not arrogant by any stretch. He often says that having a high IQ only means that you are good at filling out IQ tests. There is no doubt that he (Paris) is incredibly intelligent, but having a high degree of intelligence does not necessarily mean that they are also smart or wise.
They may have cognitive intelligence but lack emotional intelligence
@@Gracelandscounselling I most certainly agree.
Yes, I think IQ does not correlate to intelligence in any meaningful way at all.
There's a guy with 340 IQ but never learnt how to fasten his own shoes.
Narcs/phycopaths are usually not very smart or wise. They are really easy to trick.
The one element Bennet won't talk about, and I'm disappointed that Piers didn't mention, is the fact that there was a sexual component to the murder.
😅how many neighborhood pets have ‘gone missing’ wherever he’s lived? And there’s zero correlation between emotional intelligence and mental IQ!
None? 🤥
Why are his symbols and horrorific reading material available to him in prison? That is not consistent with any hope of reform, not to mention reducing incidents inside the facility.
I want prisoners to read, but violent or sexual content should not be allowed.
Interesting that his grandmother was implicated in the death of her husband. I believe that psychopathy can also have a genetic factor and he would seem to have inherited it. A stone cold psychopath, pure and simple.
There is a direct correlation between older brother siblings and the age difference between siblings relating to sibling rivalry. My son was 5,5 years when my daughter was born. At first he was playful with her, then his behavior turned menacing towards her. He urinated on her favorite stuffed bunny and threw it behind his bookcase. I saw this and intervened and got help for him.
Thank you Chase for noting the high % of docs that contribute to the DSM (close to 70%) tied closely to big pharma. Transparency so rare yet so needed. Keep it up
LOL. "There's somebody in there, but he's a mean little bastard!"
1:42:45 when Piers interrupts him you can see his face for a very brief moment HE'S PISSED. Were he not purposely trying to behave, he would've jumped on Piers.
His appearance is otherworldly.
Chilling.

@@edge8572 Could you please stop with this particular brand of verbal diarrhea? You’re engaging in “vaguebook” here on another social media platform, but I think the term still works to describe your clumsy technique.
Piss or get off the pot. Be completely transparent with your accusations or STFU.
@@edge8572 They're all perfect 💕
If his mother ever allows him near her other child, she should be convicted. I cannot understand why she wants them to correspond! 😮
In the end he mentioned that the most distressed that he feels is powerlessness . That is a red flag for me as killers kill for the sense of ‘power high’.
Chase, I loved your nuanced comments about the DSM! It’s a great guide, but not without its limitations and controversies.
Chris Watts did a very similar thing with severity softening. He said that one incident in his life shouldn't detract from the rest of his life and become his defining personality (paraphrasing here). Yikes!
He scares the bejesus out of me. His eyes are absolutely terrifying to me.
This video is fascinating. Looks like the opening scenes of Silence of the Lambs. He has a very creepy vibe. He mainly got excited talking about horror and his magazine group of fans. Then in my opinion watching a high functioning narcissist, interviewing a narcissistic psychopath is wild. Thank you for teaching us and guiding us. xXx
He's calculating. His mother will not be safe when he gets out if prison.
He ain't ever getting out
The mother actually DID cut ties and left. She’s off the grid.
"I feel like I don't deserve to see her picture."
Who says that? How this monster only got 40 years AND an opportunity for parole is beyond me.
He got the maximum sentence he could get as a juvenile.
While looking with contempt IMO
He was 13. But does anyone else feel like he might be worse now? I mean, horror is comforting? Is it? This guy needs a 3D brain scan. What on earth is missing in that brain????
When Paris said: "I shouldn't be judged by one mistake...
it's not like I have a film running in my head to replay the memories so I can relive the memories daily."
"I don't deserve to be shown her picture."
That's exactly who and what he is. He put distance between himself and murdering his 4 years old sister. He is incapable of real emotions, he has no remorse, no apologies, he is just interested in his own life and feelings about himself.
He has committed a "mistake", 12 years ago. He has been incarcerated for 12 years, he's done and over it.
Why can't people move on?
He's practicing for his parole hearing, putting on the best show that he is able to.
He is as dangerous 12 years later as he was, if not worse. He said that he wouldn't carry on with his crime spree.
He wasn't executed because he was 13 years old at the time of the murder. To have the forethought to plan that his mother would feel the most pain by taking the life of a 4 year old girl, is abhorrent.
Christy Sheats kind of abhorrent.
He gots demons in him for sure
I've seen 3 documentaries on him and what he did to his sister. It's not for the faint of heart. And it may not seem possible, but what he was doing to her and saying, imo seems 10x worse than stabbing his baby sister. I can honestly say he is easily the most dangerous person (imo) that I've studied. I don't have the stomach to post what he did to this baby, but if you want more insight into the kind of person he is and what at 13, he was watching and reading then you can find them on UA-cam. Trigger warning: I watched all of them about 2-3 years ago and I'm still haunted just sitting here watching this and knowing it's just SO MUCH BEYOND the stabbing. He has black eyes, he's calculating, arrogant and if he is released, he WILL, without a doubt, kill again. The dark areas around his eyes just make him that more terrifying...He's a demon!!!
Agree..those eyes😳…black, cold, empty..
Another great example of how all four of you Scott, Mark, Greg & Chase come from different backgrounds yet blend in together so well.
Scott’s favorite subjects psychopaths.
The usual I ,I, I, I’s were all there.
He may have a high IQ but he isn’t smart enough to not say he reads horror stories all the time.
The scariest part is when Pierce asks about what if he was let out would he kill somebody else? He says what and continue the killing SPREE. Made me feel like has he killed more people?!?!
Pierce did an amazing job with this interview.
The total blank cold look until Pierce gets him mad.
Thank you all for another fantastic lesson. See you again next week as always ❣️
I watched a video on this case years ago and I cannot forget this one no matter how hard I try. In the show or documentary I saw, his mother talked about how much she loves him and treasures him and forgives him and it makes me sick. I mean he killed your daughter? I know it’s her son but ugh I don’t get it. 🤢
She could be not allowing Paris to achieve the satisfaction of his intended goal right?
Also, does she feel a normal response to Paris' horrific act? Psychopathy runs in the family.
I know it's hard to see byt she still loves her child.the person she remembers as a baby growing.
My brother was mentally ill. Very intelligent
His iq was 157. According to the army. But still. I loved him so much and helped and took care of him
Was one of the hardest thing I did in life. He's dead now. That love never left even though I wanted to choke him to.
It's hard to understand
I thought about your comment.ok
Right
I have one child.
A
Son. He's grown
And our kids all do stuff.
My son is a good man
A stand up person. I think I'd still love him if he had done something this awful. Don't think I couldn't. But that a hard one.
Hope this one guy on this show never gets out. He's dangerous
@lindaarrington9397 he not only killed his sister. He sexually assaulted her, too. If that's not enough to kill your love. I don't know what is. It's monstrous.
Thanks guys! Now please don’t call me a fool and scorn me but…
Something that really stuck out to me in this case was the neglect. He had been flagged for homicidal behaviour as a young boy, but his mother pulled him from treatment. I think this case is another great example of nature, nurture and gene-environment interaction. Yes, this man is dangerous and by all means a monster: but before that he was a boy who was asking for help and was ignored. I hope education, and awareness will prevent situations like these.
A few more points of interest:
- Referencing feminist literature & being a rapist himself is… ironic to say the least.
- No questioning or references about rehabilitation.
- The organism did what made it successful. Who taught him how to be a successful organism?
- Substance may have played a part in his brain development.
- Asking a known psychopath about his feeling is setting him up for failure.
What a dumpster fire. I really hope the parole board can see past his manipulation. It’s such a sad case, and he remains a danger to society, in my opinion.
Agreed The mother wasn't a good influence...don't know where the father was. If that is not a recipe for resentment and anger in a child, I don't know what is.😢
I wish you guys would do the parents of Brian Laundie, I think they had something to do with helping him & then when they realized that he would point the finger at them as well, the made it look like they short himself and “suddenly” remember their sons favorite part of that swamp patch.. and called her dad mr petito and asked if they wanted to go with them.. (this dude looks a bit like the laundries son is why I mentioned it) but who suddenly remembers their own son’s favorite spot and said he took the gun from their flowerbed(?!) and shot himself… that kid liked himself too much… that one bothered me because I think Utah let that little girl down and so did florida that case really bothered me gutted me
So you think his parents killed him and then stagedbit to look like suicide?
The most they did was help him evade capture imo. I think he told them he'd killed Gabby and that he was going to end his life rather than go to jail. They likely discussed where he'd do it etc, which explains them knowing where he was.
@EllaJay That letter though that his mom wrote to him... I think his parents knew he'd killed her, but I think they helped set him up for an escape. I don't think they knew he was off to delete himself and then just let him do it. If my son had done something that stupid and destructive I'd be bereft, but I'd stand by him while he turned himself in (and encourage him to do so). I'd be so devastated for the victim's family and grieve for them, but also the loss of possibility for my child... because I'd know their future was prison. I still would rather my child be alive in prison than dead. I can't imagine knowing my child was off to end their life and just accept that. They were so weird and so shady and I can only believe that they were non-cooperative to give him a head start to get away. If you knew the goal was final, I think they'd have searched earlier with the police to have his body recovered, rather than leave his body to the elements and predation. The whole thing was so sad and so weird. She took the blame with the police rather than tell them she was threatened and needed help. Moab is a tourist destination that sees all kinds of people from everywhere. The officers have to live with the knowledge that they had the opportunity to separate them temporarily, but she willingly left with him, and probably would have after a night in jail. I'm hoping that the case inspired many people in less than great relationships to walk away. The whole situation was so sad. 💔🕊
They’ve not given any interviews that I’ve seen or been interrogated, have they?
How are you supposed to “DO” the parents when they haven’t even spoken to anyone?
He doesn't understand love. When he says that he'd give the person who killed his child a second chance he's thinking only of himself. He wants a second chance. He doesn't understand how someone would feel if their child was murdered.
This video hit close to home. I managed to get away from a man who was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder by two different psychiatrists. He was dangerous, but I didn't know it because these monsters don't come with warning labels. I won't bore you with all the details, but luckily, I carefully disengaged myself from him, making him think it was for his benefit. Bennett reminded me of the man I knew because the man I knew implied that he knew the best way to hurt me would be to hurt my son, who was the center of my world. The man I knew also talked about his "dark side" in the third person. - - I hope Bennett is never released. He is smart and evil, which is a monstrous combination, and "the people do not change!". - - Once again, thank you BP for putting together this show. If I had had the knowledge that your show provides, I could have avoided an extremely scary near miss that still haunts me.
So glad you became aware and got you and your son away. Hope you are both doing well now.
Single moms are in such danger dating. Best of luck to you
He has those staring, foreboding eyes. Like he is prowling.
The black circles around his eyes make them look more insidious.
I really hope the parole board watches this video with your break down on this interview!
Everyone needs to pay attn. This man is on a mission. He's constantly CONVEYING: 'DON'T SLEEP ON ME'... Not verbally, of course. it's all in his facial language. He's thinking. And he's plotting.
The fact he keeps saying "the other part of me" tells me he is not reformed. Still psychopath.
Well if psychopaths are born this way you can’t really heal them and he’s not trying to say he’s not psychopath, he’s just trying to convince us he’s not a danger because he can control himself now even if he’s different.
You don’t just “shed” psychopathy.
When Piers is asking about his ability to recall the night of the murder Paris responds something along the lines of “it’s not like a film I can play in my head when I want to.” This means he is neither tormented or even bothered by memories of the murder. “When I want to” as opposed to suffering from recurring nightmares, vivid awful flashbacks etc. Scary.
That’s not with that means he was asked multiple questions because piers said people say he has a photogenic memory. He was talking about his memory over all. He avoided the question really about the night he killed Ella.
You can always count on Mark to elevate the analysis to the level of an epic heroes tale or biblically symbolic conflicts
He’s like Garland Greene from Con Air never let him out. The poor poor mum 😢 a million per cent psychopath who should never be released.
When he looked at photo of his little sister , His facial expression was disdain and disgust in his face. He hated her and still does. Pure evil.
While I'm not saying you're wrong, it may be disdain for what happened, the act if you will, or even for being locked up because of it, either way, there's no doubt this guy is something else. He's in a league with few others.
Why does he hate his mother so much?
I am super wondering that. I’m like half way and was hoping that’d be asked at some point.
UA-cam has his full interview with Piers Morgan.. He explains why he hates his mother..
Do google research. The mother is an absolute horror show and I could not hate her more, especially her listening in on the interview pretending to be loving, scared, and a victim. An evil, evil woman.
@@Persefone94 I 100% got that vibe. I’m gonna look into it now.
I just did a bit of digging on her. Apparently, she is the daughter of a psychopathic woman who was accused of the attempted murder of her husband. Apparently, her mother was controversially found "not guilty" by the court, but she was convinced that her mother really did it.
She got addicted to drugs like narcotics to try to get her mother's attention. She, however, was never interested. When Ella was 2 and Paris was 9, she relapsed back into her drug addiction. In addition to that, when Ella was born, Paris was no longer the sole centre of attention. This, along with his mother's relapse into drug addiction, caused a lot of animosity and conflict between them. I'm sure there's more to it, but his mother had a troubled childhood as well.
I don't know if this helps explain things, but that's what I gathered from my research into it.
My dad was either a psychopath or sociopath, never diagnosed. I think he was fully aware of what morality SHOULD be, but felt that none of it applied to him. He thought it was ... clever?... that he got away with killing the neighbor's dog and killing, then reviving and then he killing again his cat's kittens. My point for this is I don't believe a psychopath doesn't understand morals. They can fully understand them from an intellectual point of view, and from a point of this is a tool I can use, but not from the gut level emotion. I think that is where my dad would trip himself up because he would occasionally reveal his true self. Maybe, on purpose to get a reaction or maybe because he missed the mark on what the receiver would see. I still have very confused about this man who gave me the only relief from my abusive mother, while he was actually the man behind the scene pulling the strings and perpetuating his own abuse.
I think my father is like yours. Exactly due to his torture for animals and love to overpower people that are "inferior" to him .
i understand what your saying believe it or not. he manipulated your mom to abuse you , when really he was the puppet master. am i correct?
@@michelemiletich7540 pretty much. Not that Mom was perfectly innocent, but he engineered a LOT of situations so that he could be the good guy and "rescue" me from my Mom. Even now, it's hard to separate out the fact that my dad was the only adult whoever stuck up for me or ever called my mom out on her behavior, and the later learned knowledge that he was triggering her and feeding her dislike for me.
@@markusmeyer6391 I'm sorry to hear it. It's hard to sort out all of the feelings that this kind of stuff causes in you.
@@leahguzman7573 it's a lifetime long processing
This has got to be one of the best video's you gentleman have offered. For such a dark individual to interpret, the comedy throughout is Gold.
I think this guy is the perfect example of what happens when a psychopath goes to therapy. He gives the feeling of someone who thought deeply (maybe he was forced to in prison) about himself and and gets that he's different from the majority. He can't change his nature though. As simple as that. He's still a psychopath, but an insightful one. Really fascinating. You guys did a great job.
He has apparently refused any mental health help. He has said that he doesn't need it. Thinks he is better and smarter than any professional.
Paris Bennett has the shark stare. I don't know what he's trying to convince us of, but I'm not convinced at all. He gives off shark vibes.
That smile at “hard to remember” sends shivers down my spine 🫣
