42:38Now PlayingIn The Girl in the Box – Part 2, Dr. Phil unpacks the disturbing psychology behind Todd Kohlhepp as a missing persons case turns into a serial killer investigation. After rescuing Kayla Brown, authorities uncover multiple bodies, exposing a pattern driven by control, rage, and domination. Dr. Phil explains how offenders like Kohlhepp compartmentalize violence, showing little emotion while recounting horrific acts. He reveals how triggers like humiliation or loss of control can escalate into deadly outcomes when filtered through a fragile ego and a need for dominance. Why did Kayla survive? Dr. Phil highlights a critical insight: survival is strategy. By reading her captor’s behavior and adapting, she shifted his perception and stayed alive. This episode is a chilling breakdown of criminal psychology, coercive control, and how predators hide in plain sight.
