58 // Expert Insight on New England Serial Killer w/ Dr. Michael Arntfield
Welcome to Crawlspace. This episode was previously published on Crawlspace on May 14th, 2025. This is the 4th episode we've produced in this series.
In this new episode, Lance Reenstierna is joined by the great Dr. Michael Arntfield, a criminologist, author, consultant and award-winning professor at Western University in Canada as well as a Fulbright Scholar and previous visiting chairman at Vanderbilt University in Nashville where he specialized in victimology and American literature. Arntfield spent more than 15 years as a police officer and detective in London, Ontario.
Mike brings his unique and specialized insight into not only the dynamics of how the discovery of multiple bodies in a centralized location can be determined, or excluded, as the work of a serial killer, but also into the psyche of the people and organizations who in fact promote that narrative, creating their own reality.
