Dark Matters explores the realities of violent and predatory behavior through stories and conversations, not classroom theory. Episodes focus on homicide and serial murder, sex crimes, stalking, criminal paraphilias, and cold cases. You will hear interviews with offenders who speak anonymously about choices and consequences, and in-depth talks with investigators, clinicians, and researchers who explain what they saw and what they learned. Guided by criminal psychologist Dr. Eric Hickey, the show looks for patterns, turning points, and practical ways to prevent harm while avoiding sensational detail.

Consulting, Courtrooms, and Cold Cases, A Forensic Psychologist’s Roadmap
Dr. Eric Hickey maps the real path into forensic psychology, from early criminology dreams to graduate training in a state hospital forensic unit, to consulting with the U.S. military, testifying in court, and working high profile cases like the Wayne Williams investigation. He shares chance encounters that shaped his work, including meeting Jeffrey Dahmer’s brother, explains why critical thinking and neutrality matter when interviewing psychopaths, and previews future guests, offenders and victims alike, on Dark Matters.
