00:00January 17th at 10, 15 a.m.
00:11You were supposed to be here about 30 minutes ago.
00:14Nobody heard from you.
00:19For some people, nothing and no one comes before that person in the mirror.
00:26It's almost demon-like, what she did.
00:30Narcissists pursue their own desires
00:33and will steamroll over anyone who dares to stand in the way.
00:41She's a master manipulator and a pathological liar.
00:45Learn the warning signs of the narcissist.
00:49I could kill a man in five seconds.
00:51As a former FBI profiler, I'm often asked, can you spot a killer?
01:03Is it a look?
01:04An attitude.
01:08A pattern of behavior.
01:11After 40 years' experience, I can say it's complicated.
01:16But there's one thing I know.
01:19There is a deadly type.
01:21I think I do.
01:36In 2007 in Florida, Dwayne Barentine falls under the spell of good-looking, smooth-talking 31-year-old Tasha Fields.
02:00She tells you things that you want to hear, and I think she does that with an agenda in mind, you know.
02:09It's just the way she is.
02:19Dwayne and Tasha are both single parents.
02:23He has a boy, she has a girl.
02:26It's the perfect recipe for a blended family.
02:31Tasha is so delighted with the new arrangement, she sends Dwayne constant love notes.
02:38I love you, baby, with all my heart, and I will be yours for as long as I am here.
02:44I will raise our babies and love you forever.
02:48It was good.
02:50I mean, she was the single mom, and she wanted a family, and she wants to come over and cook and clean.
02:55And being a single dad, he was my main priority, and she would make sure that she would kind of dote on him.
03:01And I found that very attractive, you know.
03:07Dwayne's first glimpse of the real Tasha also comes in the form of letters.
03:13Mail addressed to several different Tashas.
03:17Tasha Fields, Tasha Morton, Tasha Kemp, Tasha Hessey, and I actually asked her,
03:26Tasha, how many times have you been married?
03:28And she was crying, and she told me she had been married five times.
03:31It shocked me, because a girl's 31 years old, been married five times.
03:39I mean, why in the hell couldn't you make it work?
03:42You know, you've had five opportunities.
03:46That's a good question.
03:47And why all the secrecy?
03:50That's because narcissists are inveterate liars.
03:55They lie not only to others, but to themselves.
03:58A false reality cloaks their conscience.
04:03Tasha Morton had been lying all her life, but it all catches up with her
04:09when one man looks past the attractive, manipulating woman with whom he shares a bed.
04:17And I look back, and it was one lie after another.
04:21She told me she had a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
04:25A lie?
04:25She told me that her grandfather was a federal judge, and that a battery had blown up and blinded him.
04:32Another lie.
04:34She came up with a bunch of fabricated stories, and she does it very quickly, too.
04:38I mean, she could script a Broadway play at the drop of a hat, and you'll believe it.
04:43Dwayne keeps digging.
04:44Dwayne digs deeper into Tasha's past.
04:53He discovers she has two other children by different fathers.
05:00She abandoned both of them.
05:03Then another ex-boyfriend drops a bombshell.
05:08He said, I know she was involved in the murder of one of her exes.
05:16He said, it's probably just another one of her bullshit lies that she's telling.
05:21I didn't know whether to believe it or not.
05:23He discovers Tasha's fourth husband, Mitch Kemp, has disappeared.
05:33Right in the middle of a custody battle with Tasha for their young daughter.
05:39I looked at her messages, and I saw Mitch's family had been trying to reach out to Mitch.
05:43They hadn't heard from him in three or four years.
05:46Dwayne ends their relationship, but he keeps investigating Tasha's past.
05:57By 2008, he is convinced she is a murderer.
06:03When he shares his suspicions with police, they back him up.
06:10They'd done some legwork on the situation and called me that afternoon.
06:14He said, Dwayne, I want you to keep this quiet.
06:15He said, but I do believe we have a homicide on our hands.
06:23The more Dwayne learns, the more he realizes he has dodged a bullet.
06:31Tasha ends her custody battle with ex-husband number three, Mitch Kemp, by setting up his murder.
06:38And the man she manipulates into pulling the trigger is husband number four, Greg Morton.
06:51The only thing Greg was guilty of is loving his wife.
06:54To turn Greg into a killer, she tells him Mitch raped her.
07:04If my wife came home and said she had been raped, I would do the same thing Greg did.
07:11I don't know what loving husband would.
07:13Tasha got her husband to kill her ex.
07:19They almost got away with it.
07:22But when the police discover the truth, Tasha is a narcissist to the end.
07:29She leads them to the body and then blames her ex-husband.
07:40After joining the ranks of Tasha's exes, Greg Morton gladly makes a plea deal to testify against her.
07:49He tells the jury what really happened when Tasha lured Mitch to their farm.
08:03They ambushed him.
08:05When he got out of the car, he put his hands up.
08:09And Greg fired five shots into his chest.
08:11And Mitch fell to his knees.
08:27And he reached up with his hands towards Tasha.
08:31And he had blood bubbles coming out of his mouth.
08:34And she kicked his hand out of the way and spit in his face.
08:37And said, hurry up.
08:39Finish him.
08:41In 2010, Tasha Fields is convicted of first-degree murder.
08:57She is sentenced to life.
08:59No chance of parole.
09:02Greg Morton gets 19 years for the lesser charge of second-degree murder.
09:07I think that man is doing 19 years in prison because he loves a master manipulator.
09:16And I'm just lucky that I got out.
09:21They may come off as confident.
09:24But in fact, narcissists are massively insecure.
09:27Jealousy, resentment, and a failure to enjoy the good fortune of others, these are all warning signs.
09:38And, of course, dishonesty.
09:41Every child wants to be like his father, strong, aggressive, you know, feared.
09:50This is Danny Pelosi.
09:53You violate me, my father will come out in me.
09:56I met Danny in 2013 in Great Meadow Correctional Facility in New York.
10:03He's behind bars for the murder of Wall Street mogul, Ted Ammon.
10:11Danny says he didn't do it and wants to tell me why.
10:16But getting to the truth is like taking a master class in narcissistic behavior.
10:22Danny's story starts in 2000 when a rich, glamorous, New York socialite, Generosa Ammon, offers him a $300,000 a year job.
10:45What did that feel like at the moment?
10:48That's like winning the lottery.
10:50Cowboy.
10:52Oh, power ball.
10:53I told everybody.
10:55I told everybody.
10:56I hit lotto, man.
11:00Generosa is going through a messy divorce with her millionaire husband.
11:06Danny's a blue-collar electrician working on the renovation of her seven-story Manhattan mansion.
11:14But Generosa sees something she likes.
11:18She tells me, what if I would ask you to kiss me?
11:22I tell you, I don't want to lose my job.
11:25What if I tell you, if you don't kiss me, you're going to lose your job?
11:29She actually said that.
11:31Yeah.
11:31And I said, are you kidding?
11:33And she didn't say nothing.
11:36And she just looked at me.
11:39And I said, that's how it started.
11:43Well, describe Generosa to me.
11:47Well, let's start.
11:48There's two sides.
11:51Generosa was a beautiful woman until her husband was killed.
12:00Let's go back to you first being Generosa.
12:02You got to let me finish that sentence.
12:05Even in lockup, Danny clearly needs to be in control.
12:09If he got on her wrong side, like her friends and Ted and everyone else, you've seen the face of evil you never wanted to see again in your life.
12:18Danny swears he did not kill Generosa's husband, that she organized three other men to do it.
12:28Do you know who killed Ted Ammon?
12:31Absolutely.
12:32I know everything.
12:33Do you want to share that?
12:35Does anyone else know what you know?
12:38The people who did the murder know what I know?
12:41Danny says he was protecting his lover.
12:47In fact, Generosa died two years after Ted's death, which just leaves Danny's side of the story.
12:57And to believe a narcissist is a risky proposition.
13:01Danny Pelosi claims three other men killed Ted Ammon and that the murder was captured on home security cameras.
13:15How does he know?
13:17According to Danny, he watched the murder on his laptop.
13:22I got the whole thing on the laptop.
13:26I seen him get killed.
13:31I seen him get killed on the freaking computer that night.
13:34You, in real time, were watching Ted Ammon be murdered on your remote laptop.
13:40I was watching it in real time, but I was watching it two hours later.
13:45The truth, according to the prosecution, is that on October 20th, 2001, Danny zapped his victim with a stun gun and then beat him to death.
14:01But Danny lives in the alternative reality of a narcissist.
14:09Here's a first.
14:11Ted Ammon had his skull broken with a .38 caliber revolver.
14:17Mm-hmm.
14:18No stun gun.
14:20A .38 caliber pistol.
14:23A 9mm pistol was busted over his head.
14:27That's two different guns, a .38 caliber, a .25 caliber handgun.
14:34Three handguns.
14:35Three handguns.
14:36When Danny was describing the guns to me, he kept stacking lie upon lie upon lie.
14:45I found it to be comical.
14:49For the narcissist, if they say something, you will believe it because it came from them.
14:58Danny claims he not only watched the murder, but that it was recorded on a hard drive.
15:05The prosecutor's contention is that you killed Ted Ammon.
15:10So it sure would be convenient to have that black recording box, wouldn't it?
15:14That information lets me walk.
15:18Where's the black box?
15:23It was thrown into a creek by me.
15:27Danny never brought up any of this so-called evidence in 2004 when he was convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years to life.
15:46Thank you for sitting down with me.
15:48I think that's because it's simply not true.
15:53It's the alternative universe of a classic narcissist.
16:00If reality doesn't fit their dream, well, they create their own reality.
16:05In the case of Kim Coleman, lack of attention is an insult.
16:12Narcissists thrive on the admiration of others.
16:16In fact, it's a need.
16:18They have to have it.
16:24Kim Coleman, the most popular girl in high school, has the world at her feet.
16:30She went to Grambling State.
16:33She was very involved in the school.
16:35Homecoming queen.
16:37Somebody that a lot of people knew about.
16:38She was in a sorority, which is a historically black sorority.
16:44And very active in that.
16:46Bright and beautiful Kim catches the eye of Air Force Sergeant 28-year-old Brian Spinks.
16:58His close friend, Shane Wright, watches their initial spark bloom into a serious romance.
17:06He was really into her.
17:10He told me that he thought about even bringing her home and having her meet some of his family.
17:15So at that time, I pretty much knew that he really liked her.
17:20But Kim is accustomed to being center stage.
17:25Brian's love is not enough.
17:28She wants his undivided attention.
17:34She would check his phone to see if there were any text messages or anything from anybody else.
17:40She was kind of jealous.
17:42It was just kind of, hey, yeah, she's just, she's crazy.
17:45Don't worry about her.
17:47But Brian should be worried.
17:49After two years, Brian tires of Kim's jealousy and cools the relationship.
17:59He starts to deliberately avoid her.
18:03If we would see her, he would kind of pull me to the side and tell me, hey, I've seen Kim.
18:08I'm going to leave.
18:10He's done that at least half a dozen occasions where he's seen her out and wanted to leave, didn't want a confrontation.
18:16When you're dealing with a narcissist, that's just asking for trouble.
18:25On the night of January 16, 2010, Brian and Kim end up at the same bar.
18:32This time, Brian's not running away.
18:37And I said, hey, I just saw Kim.
18:39She's here.
18:41What do you want to do?
18:42Do you want to leave or do you want to, do you want to stay?
18:45And he said, it's okay.
18:47I'll deal with it.
18:48And I want to stay.
18:49But when Kim sees Brian talking to another woman, she sees red.
19:03She was very upset.
19:06She was yelling and screaming.
19:08There were some people trying to hold her back.
19:10The narcissist is constantly on the defensive, protecting their emotional territory, demanding attention and admiration from those around them.
19:27Brian was upset.
19:29He was disappointed.
19:30And he told one of our other friends, hey, just take me home.
19:34And I'm done with her.
19:35Just take me home.
19:36Back home, Brian decides he'll end the relationship once and for all by voicemail.
19:48He said something to the effect of, hey, I'm tired of dealing with this.
19:52And I was going to tell you why I'm done with you.
19:54But if you don't want to answer the phone, that's fine.
20:02The next morning, all's quiet at Brian's house.
20:07January 17th at 10, 15 a.m.
20:13Hey, Brian, this is my third phone call to you.
20:17Anyway, call me back.
20:19He's not answering his phone.
20:22You were supposed to be here about 30 minutes ago.
20:25Nobody heard from you.
20:27Friends and family soon realize something is terribly wrong.
20:32Kim Coleman wasn't used to being ignored, let alone dumped by voicemail.
20:43Kim fell over an emotional cliff and it turned her into a monster.
20:49When Kim gets Brian's message, she snaps and turns up at his door,
20:59wanting the ultimate revenge.
21:02When one kitchen knife breaks, she grabs another and keeps going.
21:25In total, she stabs him more than 60 times.
21:33Like a true narcissist, Kim believes she can lie her way out of murder.
21:45She calls 911, blaming the attack on a mystery intruder.
21:50But her call is premature.
22:08Brian is not dead.
22:10His cries for help can be heard in the background.
22:18Hearing Brian's voice on 911 is one of the hardest things I've ever had to listen to
22:23because you hear him pleading, basically, for his life,
22:29knowing that the person that did this to him is still right there next to him.
22:42In my mind, she felt like she had to kill him because the police were coming.
22:48And if Brian was alive when they got there, he would have told them she did this to me.
22:54It's almost demon-like what she did.
23:04Kim was so grandiose about her ability to charm people.
23:09She played the damsel in distress when the police arrived.
23:12But the lack of defensive wounds on her sealed her fate.
23:21In 2012, Kim Coleman is convicted of second-degree murder
23:27and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
23:32If you're in a relationship where lies, jealousy, and implausible stories are common,
23:40you might think of moving on.
23:44You can never be a narcissist's true friend.
23:49Friendship is a two-way street.
23:51With a narcissist, it's a one-way trip to hell.
23:54A one-way to be a fourth-year-old woman,
23:56who's left to be a tourist named
