A year long, in person forensic education series at Crossroads Ranch for serious learners and true crime professionals.
The True Crime & Equines Guest Speaker Series 2026 is a year long, in person experience hosted at Crossroads Ranch, America’s only True Crime Horse Farm.
This exclusive series brings together nationally recognized experts in forensic science, criminal investigation, psychology, veterinary medicine, and equine behavior to teach through real cases and real work. Each month, participants engage directly with subject matter experts as they break down homicides, staged accidents, missing person cases, auction fraud, animal cruelty, and crimes embedded within equestrian culture.
This is not passive learning.
Participants move between classroom instruction and field based demonstrations, with horses, dogs, and other ranch animals available for hands on interaction. Evidence interpretation, behavioral analysis, and investigative decision making are demonstrated live, in context, and in a setting no traditional classroom can replicate.
Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve a focused, VIP learning environment. Access is personal, immersive, and designed for those who want depth rather than surface level discussion.
Topics May Include:
• Serial homicide dynamics and offender evolution
• Case driven analysis of high profile serial killers
• Behavioral patterns across multiple crime scenes
• Media myth versus investigative reality in serial cases
Additional topics:
• Victimology, offender behavior, and crime scene staging
• Mounted and K9 search and rescue methodology
• Crime scene documentation and bloodstain pattern principles
• Veterinary forensics, injury recognition, and neglect investigations
• Psychology of the horse world, auctions, and fraud
Topics and speakers vary by month.
In addition to forensic and equine experts, the series features nationally recognized true crime figures and media personalities known for their work on serial homicide, offender profiling, and landmark criminal cases. These speakers bring firsthand insight into serial offender behavior, investigative failures and successes, and the psychological patterns that emerge across cases that have captured national attention.
This access allows attendees to move beyond headlines and documentaries and into the deeper analytical questions behind serial violence: how offenders select victims, how patterns evolve, and how behavioral indicators intersect with physical evidence.
The series also includes survivors of violent crime and traumatic events who share their experiences firsthand. These sessions are approached with care and intention, focusing on lived experience, recovery, and the long term impact of crime on individuals and families.
Survivor presentations are not performances. They are facilitated conversations designed to illuminate victimology, resilience, and the human consequences of criminal behavior that evidence alone cannot capture.
HOW THE EXPERIENCE WORKS
Each session begins in the barn.
Guests arrive at Crossroads Ranch and are welcomed into the working barn environment, where they are introduced to the horses and learn about breed characteristics, basic care, and the role of animals in forensic and investigative work. This includes an overview of the Mounted Response Unit and how horses are integrated into search, recovery, and investigative support.
This initial time is intentional. It grounds participants in observation, situational awareness, and the human animal bond before any formal instruction begins.
From the barn, the group transitions to the classroom for the featured guest speaker presentation. There, nationally recognized experts, true crime figures, survivors, and professionals lead structured discussions and case based instruction focused on forensic science, criminal behavior, and investigative decision making.
The combination of barn based learning and classroom instruction creates a deliberate rhythm: environment first, analysis second. It is immersive, experiential, and designed to reinforce how context, behavior, and evidence intersect in real investigations.
