Episode Description

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Oscar Pistorius, the South African Olympic sprinter known worldwide as the ""Blade Runner."" On Valentine's Day 2013, Pistorius fired four shots through a locked bathroom door in his Pretoria home and killed his girlfriend, model and advocate Reeva Steenkamp. What investigators uncovered behind the world's most celebrated story of perseverance was a pattern of recklessness, rage, and control that had been hiding in plain sight for years. Candice examines how a childhood defined by loss, a family philosophy of denial, and a deeply conditioned relationship between fear and firearms converged to bring one of sport's greatest icons to one of its most shocking falls from grace.
