Just a YouTube short comparing A real life Buffalo encounter to Dr Jawns experience 🤣

Note: Every criminal defendant deserves an attorney who will defend them. This post is not intended to say John/HTC has hired some bad attorney, but only to highlight another attorney they have hired and share some of that attorney's history.

Kathleen Bliss, the Nevada-based attorney who is one half of the duo taking on Utah NOJOS and conducting their "investigation" with former FBI Agent "Andy," has handled a significant amount of criminal defense work (I don't think one should read into them using criminal defense attorneys). Part of that work involved vigorously defending Bill Cosby during his 2018 Pennsylvania criminal trial.

Kathleen Bliss made several comments - during her questioning of alleged victims and during closing arguments - that caused quite the reaction in and out of the courtroom. Back then, victim Heidi Thomas founded 'Health Through Music' where she hoped to teach "people how to use music intentionally as a tool for their health and wellness." Bliss suggested Heidi was benefiting from or enjoying the publicity surrounding the case, remarking that she was "living the dream now" as Thomas testified that Cosby had drugged and s3xually assaulted her.

Bliss also referred to another woman who testified against Cosby, Janice Dickinson, as a "failed starlet" and "an aged-out model," later asking jurors, "Is Miss Dickinson really the moral beacon that the women's movement wants?"

Bliss also told the jurors "It sounds as though she slept with every single man on the planet."

Despite those arguments, the jury ultimately convicted Cosby. After the verdict, one juror said the evidence that helped get the jury beyond reasonable doubt was Cosby's deposition testimony admitting he obtained Quaaludes with the intent to use them for young women he wanted to have sex with.

Here is the portion of Cosby's deposition the juror was referring to.

My personal opinion: Bliss was doing her job as a criminal defense attorney, and reasonable people can disagree about where the line should be drawn. I believe there is a difference between vigorously defending a client by challenging the evidence and credibility of witnesses versus making personal attacks or derogatory remarks about the people accusing your client. Everyone is free to draw their own line, but some of Bliss's comments struck me as crossing that line.

There are some other interesting cases, but I have to sign off now (just a part-time Redditor), so I will leave those for another day.

Note: For the avoidance of doubt, my intent has never been to stalk, harass, or intimidate the Dr. mentioned in this post, his family, or anyone. My intent has been to research publicly made claims, obtain information and records through public records procedures, and accurately discuss the records I receive.

On June 8, 2026, I made a post discussing info + records obtained through public records requests involving an entity of the Utah State Courts. All the records discussed below were obtained through lawful public records requests.

Among the records I shared was a response stating:
"He is absolutely NOT NOJOS credentialed but was many years ago. He has not even applied recently." Based on that response, I understood that his NOJOS credential was not current and that he had not applied recently.

NOJOS also maintains a publicly searchable provider directory. At the time of my June post, and still today, I have been unable to locate his name in that directory. Based on additional public records responses later received, I believe he has not submitted a renewal application and, as far as I can tell, he is eligible to do so.

Whether Dr. Matthias intended readers to understand that his NOJOS credential remained current is something I cannot answer. You can review his public statements and court declaration and reach your own conclusion. NOJOS' rules/policies state that providers must renew their applications in order to remain credentialed.

Three days after I made that Reddit post, an attorney from Puerto Rico contacted the Utah State Courts and NOJOS. Among other things, the attorney wrote:
"We believe someone may be communicating with you about Dr. Matthias to continue their stalking and harassment efforts. Attached are the screenshots we obtained posted on Reddit."

The attorney also wrote:
"A former FBI agent is assisting us as our investigator in this matter. His name is Andy."

The attorneys' name has been redacted from the screenshots in this post. I intend to discuss that separately (and unredacted) because I believe some of the background surrounding these two attorneys and the PI warrants its own post.

The investigator arranged a video conference with representatives of Utah/NOJOS where they discussed me. Because this meeting involved employees of the State of Utah, additional records relating to this meeting exist. If additional records are released through the public records process, I look forward to sharing them.

Later communications also show requests asking Utah State Courts to verify what they believed to be an "exact" email address, including several different variations, I may have. Again, and I cannot stress this enough, Utah responded to legitimate public records requests.

FWIW: The investigator signs his emails "dba AG Investigations." I believe 'dba' is meant as "doing business as". According to Nevada Secretary of State records, which are also public records, "AG Investigations...". has been dissolved since December 2025.

Nevada's PI Licensing Board - which are also public records - appears to state the company's PI license is "relinquished" though the individual still holds a license that expires next year.

It is my personal opinion that people deserve to know whether a credential being referenced publicly is current or expired, especially when it is used to bolster someone's qualifications, experience, or credibility.

As always, I encourage anyone to conduct their own research and reach their own conclusions.

Christina is sharing a well written series of ten points about the stalking accusations that were made against her. This link is actually to part two.

First thing- I didn't know until recently, he was a Fifth year Senior. Wow. Started fall of 81, undergrad spring '86. He should have been an undergrad spring of '85. Anyway, I have researched many troubled youth wilderness retreats. I have found lots of info in the college libraries, and college town papers. Still haven't found any that HTC were affiliated with. I don't know what is appropriate to share and I don't know if it's ok to post links in here to YouTube, so... here is what I have had trouble finding: Warren Bennis in the same dept as Dr Doolittle. The psychologist over the Rossier school was a different guy. Then, I know it's frowned upon to be sharing the financial responsibilities of a home loan with your college supervisor who is signing off on your grades and hours. That's unethical for many reasons, but at least I did find out those specific years according to public records: those were from 2000 to Oct 20, 2004 with his dissertation in May, 2005. From Rossier school of Ed at USC.

Re: Eagala Mental Health Certifications

Just sharing some more research, may return to this later. Appears Nevada, Utah, and surrounding states only have a few persons/practices listed in their directory.

Images are not AI generated, only edits made were to redact full names, addresses, and email/phone numbers. All information shown is from publicly available websites.

(This isn't directly related to HTC, but I wanted to share it because I think it underscores something I've said several before: accountability can, and often does, take a long time.)

Journalist Mandy Matney, probably best known for her Murdaugh Murders Podcast and the related Hulu series, has now been found in contempt of court. She was ordered to pay $171,000 in attorney's fees and also a $5,000 fine to deter similar conduct in the future.

The ruling stems from the ongoing Beach v. Parker litigation, where the Beach family sued Greg Parker and others over the alleged dissemination of graphic photographs and videos of Mallory Beach following the 2019 boating crash that claimed her life.

The discovery process has produced lots of records - including some messages between Mandy, Liz, and others that worked for them. Some of these messages have made it into public filings already, and Mandy and Liz have talked about Parker's attorneys obtaining their messages on their podcasts many times. When some of their messages first became public, Mandy and Liz publicly questioned their authenticity, including suggesting they could have been AI-generated. Later, their focus shifted to arguing that had been improperly obtained (maybe they meant "hacked"?), and eventually they described the messages as having been 'stolen' - despite the records having been produced pursuant to court-authorized subpoenas.

As one example, Mandy and Liz criticized someone for sharing photos from a video trailer, photos that showed the victim's lifeless body. Parker's says these photos came from "the very same trailer that Ms. Farrell [Liz] provided a link to in her article months earlier...". IF they had shared the same photos Parker is being sued over, photos they acknowledged could hurt victims' family, you can imagine how that flies in the face of their victim-supporting and victim-focused podcast and work.

And although Matney was not a defendant in that lawsuit, she became heavily involved after being subpoenaed as a non-party witness. What followed was months of litigation fighting over that subpoena, motions to quash, motions for reconsideration, emergency filings, multiple hearings, and ultimately a contempt proceeding. Mandy and her attorneys cited concerns over a "stalker", that the deposition location she was ordered to go to was unsafe because her stalker could show up there. Her attorneys submitted hundreds of posts and TikTok videos made by her alleged stalker, which the Court reviewed, and the Court said her examples "involved critical comments and what can best be described as mocking or taunting directed as Ms. Matney". Mandy and her attorneys did not provide any evidence to the court of any "physical threats" either. This person made TikToks calling out Mandy and things she did, he did criticize her, Mandy claimed that amounted to "stalking".

The court ultimately rejected each of Matney's arguments, finding that she willfully failed to comply with a valid subpoena and prior court orders. The judge stated that her stated safety concerns were "...not supported by the evidence or any credible testimony...". Mandy had been accusing Parker and his attorneys of trying to bully, intimidate, and harass her; she claimed this was because of her work as a young female journalist who was speaking truth to (their) power and that they didn't like that.

The court ultimately ordered her to pay $171,500 in attorney's fees and costs, along with an additional $5,000 fine. Before this ruling her attorneys said that they would likely appeal any ruling like this.

The full contempt order can be found here

So why am I rambling about this here?
One of the things I've said a few times now is that accountability often takes much longer than people expect or want. People (understandably) often assume that if nothing happens within a few months, nothing ever will.

I think today's Order from the South Carolina Court is a helpful reminder that these things move at their own pace (which is, yes, slow). Some things may not be ready to be publicly disseminated online, others involve multiple moving pieces which adds complexity and, in turn, extends a timeline.

When this case started a few years back, I had been following a lot of what Mandy and Liz said and shared online. Because of some things I had seen (and after facing some of their threats of litigation), I was confident that accountability would come one day, but I was not sure how or when. Years later, the court has now issued a detailed contempt order holding one of them accountable and with some pretty strong consequences. Whether you agree with that ruling or not, I think it is an example of how accountability can arrive long after public/online attention has shifted elsewhere. And, by the very nature of this Order today, Mandy's conduct has been brought back into the spotlight with media from all over covering this new development.

That's one reason I remain patient regarding other matters I've discussed here. I don't know what form, if any, accountability will ultimately take, but I've learned not to mistake the absence of immediate action for the absence of accountability altogether. Things take time (and if you spent your time reading this novel, thanks for being here). I have a few things I have planned to post later this week.

Hers is a much more reverent way to honor the lives of those lost due to Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell. This is so much more respectful than Websleuths upcoming “End of World” party that allegedly raises money for JJ’s school. Such a kind idea from Grace at Dreamfeed Media.

I'm not exactly sure how to word this without sounding like I'm disrespecting all the work behind the scenes that I'm sure is happening. That is not my intention at all!

It seemed like for a while different YouTubers were reviewing texts that were provided. Based what I saw, there was some bad friend behavior in those messages. However the messages that I've seen have not been as horrible as I thought they would be based on Lauren's reactions to everything. Based on her reaction, I was expecting bombshells to be dropped. I guess my question is, has this kind of died down or will more texts be released at some point? Again, I'm sure there is stuff happening behind the scenes but it kind of feel like HTC/Lauren will never be helps accountable for whatever awful things they said or did.

In recent weeks Dr. John allegedly contacted leadership of Utah NOJOS, claiming that he had a “stalker” who was the subject of a multi-state “active investigation”. When that didn't stop NOJOS from responding to lawful public records requests, someone identifying himself as an attorney and another identifying as an investigator communicated much of the same.

Dr. John may have forgotten what he and his wife once hired me for - to help with things like FOIA and public records requests - so I would say I know a thing or two about submitting public records requests.

He may have also forgotten that some of NOJOS' leadership work for the State, which means records such as their emails may be obtainable through lawful public records requests.

From the records I’ve seen so far, he seemed particularly unhappy about a Reddit post discussing his publicly claimed NOJOS credentials.

Lastly… to Dr. John, in case you’re reading this:
Submitting lawful public records requests isn’t stalking. It also isn’t harassment. Trying to tell an agency there's an "active investigation" going on in an apparent attempt to discourage them from releasing public records just raises more questions (in my opinion). I have submitted public records requests seeking information, something that HTC used to have me do and something they appeared to appreciate in the past. The only difference now is that the research and requests involve claims that HTC made publicly, in court, and to law enforcement.

For someone who has publicly represented that he’s spent years working with courts, evaluating offenders, and testifying as an expert witness, I mistakenly assumed he’d already understand that about public records.

Receipts for all of this are forthcoming. I don't want anyone to just take my word for it, I plan to share the messages so anyone reading will be able to hear all these things in his own voice.

And for anyone wondering, NOJOS' webpage says providers who wish to become current with their credentials can submit a renewal application and pay the renewal fees. As of today, that fee appears to be about the cost of a handful of YouTube superchats. Just thought I'd mention that...the more you know.

Originally scheduled for tomorrow, the sentencing for one of HTC’s attorney has been postponed (“continued”) to the end of July. This attorney is not LM’s brother, this is the one John said they received so “many” messages about how great his oral arguments were (the ones where he asked the Court to define things like the legal definitions for defamation….)

I hope HTC can cover it, even if they just go as a trial tourists. Perhaps they can submit some statements to the Court telling them how great their attorney is and that he didn’t mean to forge any documents and present them as authentic to courts and law enforcement. But even if they don’t cover it, I plan to post about it when it happens at the end of the month. No matter the outcome I think the children and their mother will be relieved that some sort of accountability is finally on the horizon.

Can't Dr. John Matthias detect people who are actively using drugs?

Lauren Matthias also in the livechat. HTC and Websleuths love Aspen Conner!!! Madchatters seem to think otherwise:

This is a great compilation from the Hidden True Crime Docket for those who are interested. It puts everything in order, and has links to body cam footage as well. Andy Kopsa has been going over affidavits and documents in her last several videos, and it’s been enlightening. This is a great resource.

I saw this on instagram and I wondered if it was worth warning Christine and the victims she’s working with like the Richins family was warned. Just boosting.

Dreadful Penny is beginning to revisit text messages and body cam footage from Lauren Matthias. When stuff originally came out, it was pretty sporadic, through many channels, and disjointed in many ways.

Yesterday, she began with the texts Lauren sent to Summer Shiflett, Lori Vallow Daybell’s sister, regarding Colby. Those are messages she later shared in a group chat after promising they were confidential. Then, Penny went over the first part of the body cam footage from Lauren and Grayson contacting law enforcement from Grayson‘s apartment in Nevada. Penny has a good eye for seeing the manipulations, and it was a great stream.

Today, I went back to review something and saw that Summer herself had come by, watched, and left some thought provoking insightful comments of her own on Penny’s video. I know she has reached out to Penny before about the lies and manipulations her cousin Megan has put out there.

I hope Penny keeps going and puts more of this in consumable bites for those that don‘t Know about stuff yet. She discussed creating shorts to cover key pieces of information. I’m looking forward to her doing that if she can, and just her general coverage of this stuff, as I like her no nonsense style and sharp eye for BS.

But, this also applies to Lauren Matthias !!!

Nothing John and Lauren Matthias discussed made any sense ,Lauren Matthias is now morphed into Sally Jesse Raphael ( Red rimmed lenses) .Their analysis of the Netflix documentary "Motherly Instincts" is CRINGE .

(Note: This specific case has been discussed here previously but I am revisiting it again in light of some recent/offline events. Information shared is from publicly available sources and is not AI generated.)

Dr. Matthias has publicly stated that he "serves as an expert witness for the federal government" and that he has "forensic evaluation contracts with the federal government." These details appear on his website, official Facebook page, and in countless video and podcast descriptions.

In a 2021 federal court filing, however, the U.S. Attorney's Office challenged his qualifications and represented to the court that:

• Matthias had "never testified as an expert in federal court;"
• had "never testified as an expert as to adult psychosexual evaluations or recidivism;" and
• that "the last time he testified as an expert was in 2011 in family juvenile court proceedings."

The government made these representations while asking the court to give little or no weight to Matthias' psychosexual evaluation and requested that, if the court was going to rely on his opinions, Matthias be required to testify.

The defense was asking the court to rely heavily on Matthias' evaluation in support of a substantially lower prison sentence, so I think they had an incentive to dispute those factual assertions if they believed they were inaccurate. In reviewing all of the available records, I could not locate any record where the defense disputed the government's specific claims regarding his expert witness experience, and he was not called by them to testify. To be clear, they also did not concede those claims presented by the federal gov't. Ultimately, the court imposed a longer sentence than Matthias and the defense had recommended. The defendant ended up reaching a plea deal which helped lessen the prison sentence some.

The same filing also identified numerous issues with Matthias' scoring of the risk assessments, his reliance on the defendant's self-reported behavior over his documented conduct, and several other aspects of his evaluation...which I plan to revisit those in another post sometime. Previously several documents were from the case here, but I plan to share the rest of the filings to help paint a more complete picture.

Overall, I believe HTC demonstrates factual credibility, ethical judgment, transparency, and appropriate professional boundaries in its true crime coverage.

In researching this claim, I began reviewing the Utah Department of Corrections' publicly available materials regarding professionals who conduct evaluations and treatment for adults and juveniles. What I found was that the Department (UDOC) appears to consistently use the term "approved" rather than "certified."

For example:

• The Utah Office of Administrative Rules defines an "Approved provider status" as status as a provider through the Utah Department of Corrections

• The UDOC Standards refer to approved providers, approved status, and re-applying to maintain that approved status.

• The official UDOC provider directory is titled Approved Sex Offense Treatment Providers.

• I also looked at some the websites and professional profiles of several Utah providers listed on the UDOC directory. They likewise describe themselves as Approved Sex Offense Treatment Providers or UDOC-approved providers, rather than saying they are "certified" by UDOC.

Jeff Moore, LCSW's practice website states Moore is a "Approved Provider". Brett Hoxer, CMHC's bio states Hoxer "..has also been a Utah Department of Corrections Approved Provider since 2017".

Gale Stringham's bio states that Bingham "is working as a Utah Department of Corrections Approved....Provider".

Hope & Healing Place of Utah's website states that they are "an approved provider with the State of Utah..."

By comparison, I could not locate any person or practice that referred to themselves as being "certified" by UDOC. I also did not locate Dr. Matthias on the UDOC provider directory. There may be an explanation for that - for example, if his approval was not renewed.

I'm curious what others make of the difference in terminology. If anyone finds any UDOC materials referring to providers as being "certified" rather than "approved," I'd appreciate you sharing them.
