This is part 2 in our psychological profile of Stephen McDaniel.

Sometime after the evening of June 25, 2011 — 25-year-old Stephen McDaniel murdered fellow student and neighbour 27-year-old Lauren Giddings in Macon Georgia. McDaniel had stalked Lauren for months leading up to the murder and even helped in the search for the woman prior to her body being found.

During the search for Lauren, McDaniel was interviewed extensively by local media, he was chatty and expressing concern for his missing friend.

It would be a very different McDaniel who would later be interviewed by Detective David Patterson. In the tapes we’ve seen so far McDaniel is almost catatonic, giving only basic yes/no answers to questions.

We now watch the next part of the interview.
