  Speaker 1: January 17th at 10.15 a.m. You were supposed to be
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: here about 30 minutes ago.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Nobody heard from you.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: For some people, nothing and no one comes before that
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: person in the mirror. It's almost demon-like, what she did.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Narcissists pursue their own desires... and will steamroll over anyone
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: who dares to stand in the way.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: She's a master manipulator and a pathological liar.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Learn the warning signs of the narcissist.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I could kill a man in five seconds.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: As a former FBI profiler, I'm often asked, can you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: spot a killer? Is it a look? An attitude. A
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: pattern of behavior. After 40 years experience, I can say
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it's complicated. But there's one thing I know. There is
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a deadly titan. In 2007 in Florida, Dwayne Barentine falls
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: under the spell of good-looking, smooth-talking, 31-year-old Tasha Fields.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: She tells you things that you want to hear, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I think she does that with an agenda in mind,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you know. It's just the way she is.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Duane and Tasha are both single parents. He has a boy,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: she has a girl. It's the perfect recipe for a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: blended family. Tasha is so delighted with the new arrangement,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: she sends Duane constant love notes.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I love you, baby, with all my heart, and I
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: will be yours for as long as.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I am here. I will raise our babies and love
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you forever. It was good.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, she was the single mom, and she wanted
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a family, and she wants to come over and cook
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and clean, and being a single dad, he was my
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: main priority, and she would make sure that she would
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: kind of dote on him. And I found that very attractive,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Wayne's first glimpse of the real Tasha also comes in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the form of letters. Mail addressed to several different Tashas.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Tasha Fields, Tasha Morton, Tasha Kemp, Tasha Hesse, and I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: actually asked her, Tasha, how many times have you been married?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And she was crying, and she told me she had
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: been married five times. Shocked me, because a girl 31
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: years old, been married five times, I mean, why in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the hell couldn't you make it work? You know, you've
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: had five opportunities.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. And why all the secrecy? That's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: because narcissists are inveterate liars. They lie not only to others,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: but to themselves. A false reality cloaks their conscience. Tasha
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Morton had been lying all her life, but it all
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: catches up with her when one man looks past the attractive,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: manipulating woman with whom he shares a bed.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And I looked back, and it was one lie after another.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: She told me she had a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: A lie.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: She told me that her grandfather was a federal judge
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and that a battery had blown up and blinded him.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Another lie.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: She came up with a bunch of fabricated stories, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: she does it very quickly, too. I mean, she could
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: script a Broadway play at the drop of a hat,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and you'll believe it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Dwayne keeps digging. Dwayne digs deeper into Tasha's past. He
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: discovers she has two other children by different fathers. She
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: abandoned both of them. Then another ex-boyfriend drops a bombshell.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: He said, I know she was involved in the murder
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of one of her exes. He said it's probably just
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: another one of her bullshit lies that she's telling. I
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: didn't know whether to believe it or not.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: He discovers Tasha's fourth husband, Mitch Kemp, has disappeared. Right
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a custody battle with Tasha for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: their young daughter.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I looked at her messages and I saw Mitch's family
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: had been trying to reach out to Mitch. They hadn't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: heard from him in three or four years.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Dwayne ends their relationship, but he keeps investigating Tasha's past.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: By 2008, he is convinced she is a murderer. When
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: he shares his suspicions with police, they back him up.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: They'd done some legwork on the situation and called me
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that afternoon. He said, Dwayne, I want you to keep
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: this quiet. He said, but I do believe we have
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a homicide on our hands.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: The more Duane learns, the more he realizes he has
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: dodged a bullet. Tasha ends her custody battle with ex-husband
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: number three, Mitch Kemp, by setting up his murder. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the man she manipulates into pulling the trigger is husband
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: number four, Greg Morton.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: The only thing Greg was guilty of is loving his wife.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: To turn Greg into a killer, she tells him Mitch
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: raped her.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: If my wife came home and said she had been raped,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I would do the same thing Greg did. I don't
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: know what loving husband would.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Tasha got her husband to kill her ex. They almost
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: got away with it. But when the police discover the truth,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Tasha is a narcissist to the end. She leads them
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to the body and then blames her ex-husband. After joining
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the ranks of Tasha's exes, Greg Morton gladly makes a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: plea deal to testify against her. He tells the jury
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: what really happened when Tasha lured Mitch to their farm.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: They ambushed him. When he got out of the car,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: he put his hands up. And Greg fired five shots
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: into his chest. and Mitch fell to his knees and
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: he reached up with his hands towards Tasha. And he
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: had blood bubbles coming out of his mouth and she
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: kicked his hand out of the way and spit in
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: his face and said, hurry up, finish him.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: In 2010, Tasha Fields is convicted of first-degree murder. She
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: is sentenced to life, no chance of parole. Greg Morton
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gets 19 years for the lesser charge of second-degree murder.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I think that man's doing 19 years in prison because
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: he loves a master manipulator. And I'm just lucky that
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I got out.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: They may come off as But in fact, narcissists are
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: massively insecure. Jealousy, resentment, and a failure to enjoy the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: good fortune of others, these are all warning signs. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of course, dishonesty.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Every child wants to be like his father. Strong, aggressive, feared.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: This is Danny Pelosi.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: You violate me, my father will come out in me.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I met Danny in 2013 in Great Meadow Correctional Facility
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in New York. He's behind bars for the murder of
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Wall Street mogul Ted Ammon. Danny says he didn't do
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it and wants to tell me why. But getting to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the truth is like taking a master class in narcissistic behavior.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Danny's story starts in 2000 when a rich, glamorous, New
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: York socialite, Generosa Ammon, offers him a $ 300, 000 a year job.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: What did that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Feel like at the moment. That's like winning the lottery.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Powerball.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Powerball.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I told everybody. I told everybody.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I hit the lotto, man. Jenna Rosa is going through
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a messy divorce with her millionaire husband. Danny's a blue-collar
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: electrician working on the renovation of her seven-story Manhattan mansion.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: But Jenna Rosa sees something she likes.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: She tells me, what if I would ask you to
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: kiss me? I tell you I don't want to lose
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: my job. What if I tell you if you don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: kiss me, you're going to lose your job?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: She actually said that. Yeah. And I said, you kidding?
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: And she didn't say nothing.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And she just looked at me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: And I said,. That's how it started.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Well, describe Generosa to me.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Well, let's start. There's two sides. Generosa was a beautiful
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: woman until her husband was killed.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to you first being Generosa.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: You gotta let me finish that sentence.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Even in lockup, Danny clearly needs to be in control.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: If he got on her wrong side, like her friends
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: and Ted and everyone else, You've seen the face of
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: evil you never wanted to see again in your life.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Danny swears he did not kill Generosa's husband, that she
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: organized three other men to do it. Do you know
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: who killed Ted Ammon?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. I know everything.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Do you want to share that? Does anyone else know
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: what you know?
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: The people who did the murder know what I know?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Danny says he was protecting his lover. In fact, Generosa
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: died two years after Ted's death, which just leaves Danny's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: side of the story. And to believe a narcissist is
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a risky proposition. Danny Pelosi claims three other men killed
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Ted Ammon and that the murder was captured on home
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: security cameras. How does he know? According to Danny, he
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: watched the murder on his laptop.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I got the whole thing on the laptop. I seen
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: him get killed. I seen him get killed on the
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: freaking computer that night.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You, in real time, were watching Ted Ammon be murdered
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: on your remote laptop?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I was watching it in real time, but I was
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: watching it two hours later.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: The truth, according to the prosecution, is that on October 20, 2001,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Danny zapped his victim with a stun gun and then
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: beat him to death. But Danny lives in the alternative
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: reality of a narcissist. Here's a first.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Ted Ammon had his skull broken with a. 38 caliber revolver.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: No stun gun. A. 38 caliber pistol. A 9mm pistol
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: was busted over his head.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's two different guns. A. 38 revolver, a 9mm pistol. A.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: 25 caliber handgun. Three handguns.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Three handguns.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: When Danny was describing the guns to me, he kept
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: stacking lie upon lie upon lie. I found it to
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: be comical. For the narcissist, if they say something, you
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: will believe it because it came from them. Danny claims
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he not only watched the murder, but that it was
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: recorded on a hard drive. The prosecutor's contention is that
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you killed Ted Ammon. So it sure would be convenient
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to have that black recording box, wouldn't it?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: That information lets me walk.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Where's the black box?
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: It was thrown into a creek by me. At that time,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: it was to protect her from assault charges and protect
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the idiots that went out there.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Danny never brought up any of this so-called evidence in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: 2004 when he was convicted of murder and sentenced to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: 25 years to life. Thank you for sitting down with me.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think that's because it's simply not true. It's the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: alternative universe of a classic narcissist. If reality doesn't fit
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: their dream, well, they create their own reality. In the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: case of Kim Coleman, lack of attention is an insult.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Narcissists thrive on the admiration of others. In fact, it's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a need. They have to have it. Kim Coleman, the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: most popular girl in high school, has the world at
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: her feet. She went to Grambling State.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: She was very involved in the school, homecoming queen, somebody
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: that a lot of people knew about. She was in
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: a sorority, which is a historically-backed sorority, and very active
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: in that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Bright and beautiful Kim catches the eye of Air Force
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Sergeant 28-year-old Brian Spinks. His close friend, Shane Wright, watches
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: their initial spark bloom into a serious romance.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: He was really into her. He told me that he
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: thought about even bringing her home and having her meet
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: some of his family. So at that time, I pretty
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: much knew that he really liked her.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But Kim is accustomed to being center stage. Brian's love
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: is not enough. She wants his undivided attention.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: She would check his phone to see if there were
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: any text messages or anything from anybody else. She was
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: kind of jealous. It was just kind of, hey, yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: she's just, she's crazy.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about her. But Brian should be worried. After
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: two years, Brian tires of Kim's jealousy and cools the relationship.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: He starts to deliberately avoid her.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: If we would see her, he would kind of pull
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: me to the side and tell me, hey, I've seen Kim,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I'm going to leave. He's done that at least half
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: a dozen occasions where he's seen her out and wanted
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: to leave, didn't want a confrontation.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: When you're dealing with a narcissist, that's just asking for trouble.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: On the night of January 16, 2010, Brian and Kim
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: end up at the same bar. This time, Brian's not
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: running away.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: And I said, hey, I just saw Kim.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: She's here.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: What do you want to do? Do you want to leave,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: or do you want to stay? And he said, it's OK.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I'll deal with it, and I want to stay.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: But when Kim sees Brian talking to another woman, she
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: sees red.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: She was very upset.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: She was yelling and screaming.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: There were some people trying to hold her back.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: The narcissist is constantly on the defensive, protecting their emotional territory.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: demanding attention and admiration from those around them.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Brian was upset. He was disappointed, and he told one
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: of her other friends, hey, just take me home, and
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I'm done with her.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Just take me home. Back home, Brian decides he'll end
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the relationship once and for all by voicemail.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: He said something to the effect of, hey, I'm tired
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: of dealing with this, and I was going to tell
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you why I'm done with you, but if you don't
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: want to.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Answer the phone, that's fine. The next morning, all's quiet
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: at Brian's house. January 17th at 10, 15 a.m. Hey, Brian,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: this is my third phone call to you. Anyway, call
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: me back. He's not answering his phone. You were supposed
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to be here about 30 minutes ago.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Nobody heard from you.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Friends and family soon realize something is terribly wrong. Kim
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Coleman wasn't used to being ignored. let alone dumped by voicemail.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Kim fell over an emotional cliff and it turned her
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: into a monster. When Kim gets Brian's message, she snaps
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and turns up at his door, wanting the ultimate revenge.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: When one kitchen knife breaks, she grabs another and keeps going.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: In total, she stabs him more than 60 times. Like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a true narcissist, Kim believes she can lie her way
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: out of murder. She calls 911, blaming the attack on
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a mystery intruder. But her call is premature. Brian is
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: not dead. His cries for help can be heard in
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the background.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Hearing Brian's voice on 911 is one of the hardest
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: things I've ever had to listen to because you hear
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: him pleading basically for his life, knowing that the person
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: that did this to him is still right there next
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: to him.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: What?
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: In my mind, she felt like she had to kill
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: him because the police were coming. And if Brian was
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: alive when they got there, he would have told them
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: she did this to me. It's almost demon-like what she did.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Kim was so grandiose about her ability to charm people.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: She played the damsel in distress when the police arrived.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But the lack of defensive wounds on her sealed her fate.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: In 2012, Kim Coleman is convicted of second-degree murder and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: sentenced to life in prison without parole. If you're in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a relationship where lies, jealousy, and implausible stories are common,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: you might think of moving on. You can never be
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a narcissist's true friend. Friendship is a two-way street. With
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a narcissist, it's a one-way trip to hell. Thank you.
