Betty Shanks was killed 70-years-ago in Brisbane, Australia. Join Profiling Evil tonight as Mike travels “down under” and speaks to the man who believes his father killed this young woman. What better way to spend Valentine’s Day than potentially solving Queensland’s Coldest Cold-Case.

This has been the sweetest love story I totally didnt expect 😭
The love that Ken developed on his own, despite the monster he was raised around, he chose to put his wife and children above everything else 💜
Ken, if you read this, I'm grateful for you sharing your story. The world needs more parents/partners like you!
Thank you so much for this profiling evil Mike. Ken's story is very compelling. It has made me wondering if Joe is in fact the perpetrator. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Mike, thank you so much for your surprise valentines night mystery! This happened 2 yrs before I was born, but startling & intriguing nonetheless! What I noticed at the beginning was she went far for that lecture/class. I don’t think I’d do that alone in todays world. Can’t wait to see what happens. 😮
Ken you are a wonderful human being with such compassion thank you for sharing your story with us. Your mother would have been so extremely proud for becoming the husband and father that she never had for herself or her children
Wow, I'm in tears listening to ken describe what he and his family went through at the hands of this monster. I 100% belive that he is telling a story that is true, not only in his mind but in reality as well. So very, very sad when you think about what a tortured soul ken must have been all these years. Hopefully this will help bring this case to a close and ken can finally have peace of mind knowing he told this story. His mother would be proud of him I'm sure. He is a good man❤
+ hope your wife gets better fast & you don’t get the covid! ❤
Love your channel!!! What a crazy story thanks for covering it! I love what you bring to the stories you cover.
I wonder if it was a case of mistaken identity..the photo of the wife resembled Betty especially in the dark .
Betty's injuries were as if someone was in a rage
Poor Betty her last moments would have been horrific 😢💔
My heart broke when Ken said how his "father" treated him and his Mum ..💔
My heart also goes out to Betty's family 💔
Not one person heard anything?
A cop lived next door.and heard nothing as well ?
It's the middle of summer .. back then people would have all their widows and doors open due to the heat .. I'm surprised no one was home on a Friday night or out in the yards trying to keep cool ..
My heart breaks for the little boy Ken. I felt his hurt and his fear. He built a beautiful life from those horrific beginnings. Bless him.
Maybe the Eric guy with blood on clothes could have come across the murder in progress trying to help or found her right after and try to see if she was alive and was to scared to come forward
Wow what a case I personally love old cases it sounds like it can possibly be his father what a horrible monster his father was and what he must of gone through as a child but in the end he was able to survive the darkness and be a good father how sad thankyou Ken I can only imagine how hard it was for you to tell your story
Ken your an amazing man!!! Thanks for sharing your story 🥰
Maybe somebody else wanted the job? The other thing that comes to mind is what you've said before that people may know you that you don't know.
8 Ks is a ways like 4 miles. If she's a virgin nope.
Excellent story! I could feel the fear in Ken's voice as he retold some of his childhood with the monster called Joe. I truly hope you are able to solve Betty's murder. Mike I admire your passion for solving cold cases.
Hello Mr King.. I wish I got you live but I have not gotten any notification. Glad to be here though. I'm just going to listen and I thank you ahead of time. 🇺🇸👍🌹
This brought me goose bumps. I’m so glad you all came together. Thank you for your balance of intuition and discernment. You don’t ignore that tiny voice and do so much boots on the ground research far after years of compassionate service and retirement. Victims like Betty may one day thank you and Ken. Amazing to be alive today and speak bravely abt kin. So hard yet he seems to have broken many cycles of abuse. Prayers to Betty’s loved ones and Ken. It seems you may have made a forever friend Mike. 🙏🏻❤️😊
I think Joe did it and am amazed how we'll Ken turned out. I am grateful that women generally have better options these days.
What a beautiful & heartbreaking story! Ken raised a beautiful family with your 6 wonderful children! God Bless you all! ♥️🙏
I can see why Ken thinks "Joe" may have killed Betty. I was married to a guy with the same personality and he would torment our daughter as soon has she began to walk. he would do things to upset her but it was to get "that" reaction out of me. I ended up losing her to him during the divorce because he can also spin a good line of bull pucky, but I didn't fear for her like I did while we were together because it was for me that he did it to her, and without me he has no reason to torment her. Well that thought helps me sleep at night but I hope I was correct. So I can relate to Ken very deeply. Even though he is nothing like Joe, you can see the past still clings to him. Sending Ken a virtual hug.
Only part way through the video. Enjoying it so far. I'm always mistrustful of 'my daddy was a killer' stories. That's not to say they are always wrong but it's invariably good to remain skeptical of them.
Prayers for a speedy recovery for your wife & prayers that you don’t get it.
Hi, Mike! Sorry I missed the Live show. Hubs and I visited my MIL for Valentine's Day. We got her a card, balloon (which her dog barked at😂), a teddy bear, and a big heart shaped box of chocolates.😉
Since it turns out she can't have chocolate because of medication, I now have 2 big boxes of chocolates. 😳😂😘💖💝
Loving this length of live. Sadly I don’t get you live as I’m in the uk I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching this tonight. The perfect length for when my hubby is watching footy xxxx
There’s an unsolved murder in Texas – that I’m reminded of. Very different but… 2007 Husband & Wife watching tv doorbell rings wife goes and answers door and is shot & killed. They lived on a cul de sac. A street or two over was a similar cul de sac where a woman who was going through divorce was living… she speculated that she was the intended target but the hit man got the wrong house.
Anyway, Kens mom must have been an amazing mother – he is so sweet. He is so smart too… he understands living consciously. Of course, what Joe did was all unconscious amygdala control. It’s true if we let baggage run us then we are trapped in the unconscious amygdala. Love conquers all. I would love to hear him talk about how he developed that awareness & was able to choose conscious living. Many might find it helpful because it’s hard for me & I wasn’t terrorized like he was. But I am so glad he has that light.
What a powerful and moving account. One murder victim, but so many other victims in the process. I think Ken's account is incredibly compelling. To my mind, this murder has been solved. Thanks, Mike, for your respectful handling of this.
Mike Ty I enjoyed this with you and your guest,,I hate to say but I enjoyed Ken and wonder does he have anymore stories cases to tell??So glad he made it to a older age and not let his mentally disturbed dad control his adult life by reliving it all! I ❤Kens storytelling too Ty again Mike
Such a sad, sad story but a great story at the same time.
Aussie listener here. Thanks heaps for doing this story. I follow lots of channels in America and very very rarely hear much about Australian cases so thank you for your interest. It’s nice to know that we matter to people over the other side of the world. 🙏❣️
Funny how poor Betty had to be having an affair with someone. Couldn’t have been that she just knew people of the opposite sex.
Did you get the Digeridoo during your latest trip down under ?????

I wish Renata (& her husband) had enough manner to remove their glasses when they were speaking with you/us/the video. I can't believe how both were so RUDE!!!!!!!
