00:11You were supposed to be here about 30 minutes ago.
00:14Nobody heard from you.
00:19For some people, nothing and no one comes before that person in the mirror.
00:26It's almost demon-like, what she did.
00:30Narcissists pursue their own desires
00:33and will steamroll over anyone who dares to stand in the way.
00:41She's a master manipulator and a pathological liar.
00:45Learn the warning signs of the narcissist.
00:49I could kill a man in five seconds.
00:51As a former FBI profiler, I'm often asked, can you spot a killer?
01:03Is it a look?
01:04An attitude.
01:08A pattern of behavior.
01:11After 40 years' experience, I can say it's complicated.
01:16But there's one thing I know.
01:19There is a deadly type.
01:21vanquishass achomanoconinople.co. She aussi has a heart...
01:23As a father.
01:23Before she goes, there was no thought.
01:24Before she or.
01:24Go to Norris tinyしまies, she passed away.
01:25Is it a fly?
01:26Is it a fly?
01:27Is this a fly?
01:27Is this a fly?
01:28Is this a fly?
01:29In 2007, in Florida,
01:51Dwayne Barentine falls under the spell of good-looking,
01:55smooth-talking, 31-year-old Tasha Fields.
02:02She tells you things that you want to hear,
02:04and I think she does that with an agenda in mind, you know.
02:09It's just the way she is.
02:19Dwayne and Tasha are both single parents.
02:22He has a boy. She has a girl.
02:27It's the perfect recipe for a blended family.
02:31Tasha is so delighted with the new arrangement,
02:35she sends Dwayne constant love notes.
02:38I love you, baby, with all my heart,
02:41and I will be yours for as long as I am here.
02:44I will raise our babies and love you forever.
02:48It was good.
02:50I mean, she was the single mom,
02:51and she wanted a family,
02:53and she wants to come over and cook and clean,
02:55and being a single dad,
02:57he was my main priority,
02:59and she would make sure that she would kind of dote on him.
03:02And I found that very attractive, you know.
03:07Dwayne's first glimpse of the real Tasha
03:09also comes in the form of letters.
03:14Mail addressed to several different Tashas.
03:19Tasha Fields, Tasha Morton, Tasha Kemp, Tasha Hesse,
03:24and I actually asked her,
03:26Tasha, how many times have you been married?
03:28And she was crying,
03:29and she told me she had been married five times.
03:31It shocked me,
03:37because a girl's 31 years old,
03:38been married five times.
03:39I mean, why in the hell couldn't you make it work?
03:42You know, you've had five opportunities.
03:46That's a good question.
03:47And why all the secrecy?
03:50That's because narcissists are inveterate liars.
03:54They lie not only to others, but to themselves.
03:59A false reality cloaks their conscience.
04:03Tasha Morton had been lying all her life,
04:07but it all catches up with her
04:09when one man looks past the attractive,
04:13manipulating woman with whom he shares a bed.
04:17And I look back, and it was one lie after another.
04:21She told me she had a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
04:24A lie.
04:26She told me that her grandfather was a federal judge,
04:29and that a battery had blown up and blinded him.
04:32Another lie.
04:34She came up with a bunch of fabricated stories,
04:36and she does it very quickly, too.
04:38I mean, she could script a Broadway play
04:40at the drop of a hat, and you'll believe it.
04:43Dwayne keeps digging.
04:47Dwayne digs deeper into Tasha's past.
04:50He discovers she has two other children
04:56by different fathers.
05:00She abandoned both of them.
05:04Then another ex-boyfriend drops a bombshell.
05:08He said, I know she was involved
05:10in the murder of one of her exes.
05:12He said, it's probably just another one
05:18of her bullshit lies that she's telling.
05:21I didn't know whether to believe it or not.
05:24He discovers Tasha's fourth husband,
05:28Mitch Kemp, has disappeared.
05:30Right in the middle of a custody battle
05:36with Tasha for their young daughter.
05:39I looked at her messages,
05:41and I saw Mitch's family had been trying
05:42to reach out to Mitch.
05:43They hadn't heard from him in three or four years.
05:50Dwayne ends their relationship,
05:53but he keeps investigating Tasha's past.
05:56By 2008, he is convinced she is a murderer.
06:03When he shares his suspicions with police,
06:06they back him up.
06:10They've done some legwork on the situation
06:12and called me that afternoon.
06:14He said, Dwayne, I want you to keep this quiet.
06:16He said, but I do believe we have a homicide on our hands.
06:18The more Dwayne learns,
06:26the more he realizes he has dodged a bullet.
06:31Tasha ends her custody battle
06:33with ex-husband number three, Mitch Kemp,
06:36by setting up his murder.
06:43And the man she manipulates into pulling the trigger
06:46is husband number four, Greg Morton.
06:51The only thing Greg was guilty of
06:53is loving his wife.
06:55To turn Greg into a killer,
06:58she tells him Mitch raped her.
07:04If my wife came home and said she had been raped,
07:08I would do the same thing Greg did.
07:11I don't know what loving husband would.
07:13Tasha got her husband to kill her ex.
07:20They almost got away with it.
07:22But when the police discover the truth,
07:26Tasha is a narcissist to the end.
07:31She leads them to the body
07:33and then blames her ex-husband.
07:38After joining the ranks of Tasha's exes,
07:44Greg Morton gladly makes a plea deal
07:46to testify against her.
07:50He tells the jury what really happened
07:53when Tasha lured Mitch to their farm.
07:57They ambushed him.
08:05When he got out of the car,
08:06he put his hands up.
08:09And Greg fired five shots into his chest.
08:11And Mitch fell to his knees
08:25and he reached up with his hands towards Tasha.
08:31And he had blood bubbles coming out of his mouth
08:33and she kicked his hand out of the way
08:35and spit in his face
08:36and said, hurry up, finish him.
08:40In 2010, Tasha Fields is convicted
08:55of first-degree murder.
08:57She is sentenced to life,
08:59no chance of parole.
09:03Greg Morton gets 19 years
09:05for the lesser charge of second-degree murder.
09:07I think that man's doing 19 years in prison
09:12because he loves a master manipulator.
09:16And I'm just lucky that I got out.
09:21They may come off as confident,
09:24but in fact,
09:25narcissists are massively insecure.
09:27Jealousy, resentment,
09:33and a failure to enjoy the good fortune of others,
09:36these are all warning signs.
09:38And of course, dishonesty.
09:42Every child wants to be like his father.
09:45Strong.
09:47Aggressive.
09:48Yeah?
09:49Feared.
09:49This is Danny Pelosi.
09:53You violate me,
09:54my father will come out in me.
09:56I met Danny in 2013
09:59in Great Meadow Correctional Facility
10:02in New York.
10:04He's behind bars
10:05for the murder of Wall Street mogul
10:07Ted Ammon.
10:11Danny says he didn't do it
10:13and wants to tell me why.
10:15But getting to the truth
10:18is like taking a master class
10:20in narcissistic behavior.
10:31Danny's story starts in 2000
10:34when a rich, glamorous,
10:37New York socialite,
10:38Generosa Ammon,
10:40offers him a $300,000 a year job.
10:44What did that feel like at the moment?
10:48That's like winning the lottery.
10:50Powerball.
10:52Oh, ****.
10:53Powerball.
10:53I told everybody.
10:55I told everybody.
10:56I hit **** lotto, man.
11:00Generosa is going through
11:01a messy divorce
11:03with her millionaire husband.
11:06Danny's a blue-collar electrician
11:08working on the renovation
11:10of her seven-story Manhattan mansion.
11:14But Generosa sees something she likes.
11:18She tells me,
11:20what if I were to ask you to kiss me?
11:22I tell you I don't want to lose my job.
11:25What if I tell you
11:26if you don't kiss me,
11:28you're going to lose your job?
11:29She actually said that.
11:31Yeah.
11:31And I said,
11:33you kidding?
11:34And she didn't say nothing.
11:36And she just looked at me.
11:37I said,
11:40****.
11:42That's how it started.
11:45Well, describe Generosa to me.
11:47Well, let's start.
11:48There's two sides.
11:51Generosa
11:51was a beautiful woman
11:55until
11:57her husband
11:59was killed.
12:00Let's go back to you
12:02first being Generosa.
12:02You got to let me finish that sentence.
12:05Even in lockup,
12:06Danny clearly needs
12:07to be in control.
12:09If you got on her wrong side,
12:11like her friends
12:12and Ted
12:13and everyone else,
12:15you've seen the face of evil
12:16you never wanted to see
12:17again in your life.
12:19Danny swears
12:20he did not kill
12:21Generosa's husband,
12:23that she organized
12:25three other men
12:26to do it.
12:28Do you know
12:29who killed
12:29Ted Ammon?
12:31Absolutely.
12:32I know everything.
12:33Do you want to share that?
12:35Does anyone else
12:36know what you know?
12:38The people who did the murder
12:40know what I know?
12:44Danny says
12:45he was protecting his lover.
12:47In fact,
12:49Generosa
12:49died
12:50two years
12:51after Ted's
12:53death,
12:54which just
12:55leaves
12:56Danny's side
12:57of the story.
12:58And to believe
12:59a narcissist
12:59is a risky proposition.
13:05Danny Pelosi
13:06claims
13:07three other men
13:08killed Ted Ammon
13:09and that
13:11the murder
13:11was captured
13:12on home security
13:13cameras.
13:15How does he know?
13:17According to Danny,
13:18he watched
13:19the murder
13:20on his laptop.
13:22I got the whole thing
13:24on the laptop.
13:26I seen him get killed.
13:31I seen him get killed
13:32on the freaking computer
13:33that night.
13:34You,
13:35in real time,
13:36were watching
13:37Ted Ammon
13:38be murdered
13:39on your remote laptop.
13:40watching it in real time,
13:41but I was watching it
13:42two hours later.
13:45The truth,
13:46according to the prosecution,
13:48is that
13:49on October 20th,
13:502001,
13:52Danny
13:52zapped his victim
13:54with a stun gun
13:55and then
13:57beat him to death.
14:04But Danny
14:05lives in the
14:06alternative reality
14:07of a narcissist.
14:09Here's a first.
14:11Ted Ammon
14:11had his skull broken
14:12with a 38
14:14caliber
14:15revolver.
14:17Mm-hmm.
14:18No stun gun.
14:20A 38
14:21caliber
14:21pistol.
14:23A 9
14:23millimeter
14:24pistol
14:26was busted
14:27over his head.
14:27That's two different guns.
14:28A 38 revolver,
14:29a 9 millimeter
14:30pistol.
14:30A 25 caliber
14:32handgun.
14:34Three handguns.
14:35Three handguns.
14:37When Danny
14:38was describing
14:39the guns
14:40to me,
14:41he kept
14:41stacking
14:42lie
14:43upon lie
14:44upon lie.
14:46I found it
14:46to be
14:47comical.
14:49For the narcissist,
14:51if they say
14:52something,
14:53you will
14:53believe it.
14:55Because
14:55it came
14:56from them.
14:58Danny
14:59claims
15:00he not only
15:00watched the
15:01murder,
15:02but that
15:02it was
15:03recorded
15:03on a
15:04hard drive.
15:06The prosecutor's
15:07contention
15:07is that
15:08you killed
15:09Ted Ammon.
15:10So it sure
15:10would be
15:11convenient
15:11to have
15:12that black
15:12recording box,
15:14wouldn't it?
15:15That information
15:16lets me walk.
15:18Where's the
15:18black box?
15:23It was
15:24thrown into
15:24a creek
15:25by me.
15:28At that time,
15:29it was to
15:29protect her
15:30from assault
15:31charges
15:31and protect
15:32the idiots
15:32that went
15:33out there.
15:35Danny
15:36never brought
15:36up any
15:37of this
15:38so-called
15:38evidence
15:39in 2004
15:40when he was
15:41convicted of
15:42murder
15:42and sentenced
15:43to 25 years
15:45to life.
15:47Thank you
15:48for sitting
15:48down with me.
15:50I think
15:50that's because
15:51it's simply
15:52not true.
15:53It's the
15:54alternative universe
15:55of a classic
15:56narcissist.
16:00If reality
16:01doesn't fit
16:02their dream,
16:03well,
16:03they create
16:04their own
16:04reality.
16:05In the case
16:06of Kim
16:07Coleman,
16:08lack of attention
16:09is an insult.
16:12Narcissists thrive
16:13on the admiration
16:15of others.
16:16In fact,
16:17it's a need.
16:18They have to have it.
16:20Kim Coleman,
16:25the most popular
16:26girl in high school,
16:28has the world
16:29at her feet.
16:31She went to
16:32Grambling State.
16:33She was very
16:34involved in the
16:35school,
16:35homecoming queen,
16:37somebody that a lot
16:37of people knew
16:38about.
16:38She was in a
16:39sorority,
16:41which is a
16:42historically-backed
16:43sorority,
16:44and very active
16:45in that.
16:46bright and
16:50beautiful Kim
16:51catches the eye
16:52of Air Force
16:53Sergeant 28-year-old
16:55Brian Spinks.
16:58His close friend,
17:00Shane Wright,
17:01watches their
17:02initial spark
17:03bloom into
17:04a serious
17:05romance.
17:06He was really
17:07into her.
17:10He told me
17:10that he thought
17:11about even
17:12bringing her
17:13home and
17:13having her
17:14meet some
17:15of his family,
17:15so at that
17:16time I pretty
17:16much knew
17:17that he
17:18really liked
17:18her.
17:20But Kim
17:21is accustomed
17:21to being
17:22center stage.
17:25Brian's love
17:26is not enough.
17:28She wants
17:29his undivided
17:30attention.
17:34She would
17:35check his
17:35phone to see
17:36if there were
17:37any text messages
17:37or anything
17:38from anybody
17:39else.
17:40She was
17:41kind of jealous.
17:43It was just
17:43kind of,
17:43hey, yeah,
17:44she's crazy,
17:45don't worry
17:45about her.
17:47But Brian
17:47should be
17:48worried.
17:52After two
17:53years, Brian
17:54tires of
17:55Kim's jealousy
17:56and cools
17:57the relationship.
17:59He starts
18:00to deliberately
18:01avoid her.
18:03If we would
18:04see her,
18:04he would
18:05kind of pull
18:06me to the side
18:07and tell me,
18:07hey, I've seen
18:08Kim, I'm going
18:09to leave.
18:10He's done that
18:10at least
18:11half a dozen
18:12occasions where
18:13he's seen
18:14her out
18:14and wanted
18:15to leave,
18:15didn't want
18:15a confrontation.
18:18When you're
18:18dealing with
18:19a narcissist,
18:20that's just
18:21asking for
18:22trouble.
18:24On the night
18:25of January
18:2616, 2010,
18:29Brian and
18:29Kim end up
18:31at the same
18:31bar.
18:32This time,
18:35Brian's not
18:36running away.
18:37And I said,
18:38hey, I just
18:39saw Kim,
18:39she's here,
18:41and what do
18:41you want to
18:41do?
18:42Do you want
18:42to leave,
18:43or do you
18:43want to stay?
18:45And he said,
18:46it's okay,
18:47I'll deal with
18:48it, and I
18:49want to stay.
18:53But when
18:54Kim sees
18:55Brian talking
18:56to another
18:57woman,
18:58she sees
18:59red.
19:02She was
19:04very upset.
19:06She was
19:06yelling and
19:07screaming.
19:09There were
19:09some people
19:09trying to
19:10hold her
19:10back.
19:13The narcissist
19:14is constantly
19:16on the
19:16defensive,
19:17protecting
19:18their emotional
19:19territory,
19:20demanding
19:21attention and
19:22admiration
19:23from those
19:24around them.
19:27Brian was
19:28upset.
19:29He was
19:29disappointed,
19:30and he told
19:31one of her
19:32other friends,
19:32hey, just
19:33take me
19:34home, and
19:35I'm done
19:35with her,
19:35just take
19:36me home.
19:39Back home,
19:40Brian decides
19:41he'll end
19:42the relationship
19:43once and
19:44for all
19:44by voicemail.
19:48He said
19:48something to
19:49the effect
19:49of, hey,
19:50I'm tired
19:51of dealing
19:51with this,
19:52and I was
19:52going to tell
19:53you why I'm
19:53done with
19:54you, but
19:54if you don't
19:55want to answer
19:55the phone,
19:55that's fine.
19:56The next
20:03morning,
20:04all's quiet
20:05at Brian's
20:06house.
20:07January 17th
20:09at 10,
20:1015 a.m.
20:13Hey,
20:14Brian,
20:14this is my
20:15third phone
20:16call to you.
20:17Anyway,
20:18call me back.
20:19He's not
20:20answering his
20:21phone.
20:21You were
20:23supposed to
20:23be here
20:23about 30
20:24minutes ago.
20:25Nobody
20:25heard from
20:26you.
20:28Friends and
20:28family soon
20:29realize something
20:31is terribly
20:32wrong.
20:34Kim Coleman
20:35wasn't used
20:36to being
20:36ignored,
20:38let alone
20:38dumped
20:39by voicemail.
20:43Kim fell
20:44over an
20:45emotional cliff,
20:46and it
20:47turned her
20:47into a
20:48monster.
20:51When
20:52Kim gets
20:53Brian's
20:53message,
20:54she snaps
20:55and turns
20:57up at
20:58his door,
20:59wanting
21:01the ultimate
21:02revenge.
21:17When
21:17one kitchen
21:18knife breaks,
21:19she grabs
21:23another
21:23and keeps
21:24going.
21:29In
21:30total,
21:31she stabs
21:31him more
21:32than 60
21:33times.
21:39Like a
21:40true
21:40narcissist,
21:41Kim believes
21:41she can
21:42lie her
21:43way out
21:43of murder.
21:45She calls
21:46911,
21:48blaming the
21:48attack
21:49on a
21:49mystery
21:50intruder.
21:523-4
21:52police,
21:53what's
21:53your emergency?
21:54I'm going
21:55to try
21:55to kill
21:55my boyfriend.
21:57I'm going
21:58to kill
21:58your boyfriend?
21:59I can't.
22:00I can't.
22:01OK,
22:01where is he
22:02at?
22:03OK,
22:04there's
22:04someone else
22:04there I can
22:05talk to.
22:06But her
22:06call is
22:07premature.
22:08Brian is
22:09not dead.
22:13His cries
22:14for help
22:15can be heard
22:16in the background.
22:17Hearing
22:18Brian's voice
22:19on 911
22:20is one
22:20of the
22:21hardest
22:22things I've
22:22ever had
22:23to listen
22:23to because
22:24you hear
22:25him pleading
22:27basically for
22:28his life,
22:30knowing that
22:30the person
22:31that did
22:31this to him
22:32is still
22:33right there
22:33next to him.
22:34in my mind
22:44she felt
22:44like she
22:44had to
22:45kill him
22:45because
22:46the police
22:47were coming
22:48and if
22:49Brian was
22:49alive when
22:50they got
22:50there,
22:51he would
22:51have told
22:51them
22:52she did
22:53this to
22:53me.
22:54It's
22:55almost
22:55demon-like
22:56what she
22:57did.
22:57Kim was
23:04so
23:05grandiose
23:06about her
23:06ability
23:07to charm
23:08people,
23:09she played
23:09the damsel
23:10in distress
23:11when the
23:12police arrived
23:12but the
23:15lack of
23:15defensive
23:16wounds
23:16on her
23:17sealed
23:19her fate.
23:21In
23:222012,
23:23Kim Coleman
23:24is convicted
23:25of second
23:26degree
23:26murder
23:27and

23:28to life
23:29in prison
23:30without
23:31parole.

23:34in a
23:34relationship
23:35where lies,
23:37jealousy,
23:38and implausible
23:39stories are
23:40common,
23:41you might
23:41think of
23:42moving on.
23:44You can
23:45never be
23:46a narcissist
23:47true friend.
