Paul Holes Live: True Crime & Equines
January 21, 2026 – Crossroads Ranch (In-Person & Virtual)

Join renowned cold case investigator Paul Holes and forensic criminologist Dr. Laura Pettler for an immersive true-crime experience unlike anything else in the country. For one night only, Crossroads Ranch becomes the intersection of advanced forensic science, behavioral reconstruction, and the real-world lessons horses teach us about observation, truth, and human behavior.

This live and virtual event brings together two of the most respected professionals in modern investigation for a deep dive into the cases that shaped their careers, the techniques that break open long-unsolved homicides, and the surprising ways equine environments reveal evidence, behavior, and offender decision-making.

Participants will explore:
• How Paul Holes and Dr. Pettler approach complex cold cases from different yet complementary investigative angles.
• The role of forensic victimology, staging analysis, and behavioral patterning in cracking hidden narratives.
• How equine behavior, barn environments, and rural crime-scene dynamics provide unexpected investigative insight.
• Real case stories, lessons learned, and audience-driven Q&A.

Whether you attend in person at Crossroads Ranch or join virtually from anywhere, you’ll experience a rare, candid conversation between two national leaders in forensic investigation—packed with practical insight, compelling storytelling, and field-tested techniques you won’t hear anywhere else.

Open to law enforcement, coroners, forensic professionals, students, true-crime audiences, and equestrians who want a deeper understanding of how science and behavior uncover the truth.
