Profiler: True Crime Africa
I know i know!!! Had a major systems crash and taken a few weeks to recover - I (Paul) take full responsibility for not doing better back ups! That said, we are back tonight with a cracking live episode - Gerard and Ret. Lt Col. Elmarie Myburgh (the most important collaboration in IPS history) are back together again to talk about the Lt Col's illustrious and no doubt exhausting career, and the legacy of their work together. It's a Profiler fest tonight!!! We're talking about (probably by a country mile) the most experienced pair of Profilers on the planet. See you tonight!!! Get your questions ready...

🔥 Our First Global Case: Justin Caruso 🔥
Tomorrow 26 Aug, on Profiler Africa, Gérard Labuschagne and Paul Viv are joined by arson expert Ed Nordskog to unpack the terrifying case of serial arsonist Justin Caruso.
From Massachusetts to Texas to Arizona, Caruso staged his fires to look accidental — but one blaze killed a 74-year-old man, and another nearly claimed a second elderly victim. His need to be seen as a “hero” became the key to exposing his crimes.
This is our first international case — Profiler Africa is going global. Don’t miss it.
