they got engaged. he was a brilliant forensic psychiatrist, but he was, in my biased opinion, and even better human being. he had two sons of his ex-wife and they were the center of his world. he would say to the boys, work hard, don t say can t, be nice, and have fun. steve was a master at delving into someone s mind, understanding what made them take. no matter who retained him or what they wanted him to say, you can always tell you what he really thought. i m sure you noticed that about him. i did. my name is dr. steven pitt. i interviewed steve pitt in 2016 for a report on the 20th anniversary of the jonbenét ramsey case. i get good answers, come on.
foot in the back door waiting to stop, no, no, you grab life as long as you get the chance. and you grab it yourself and you make the most out of it. i m craig melvin. and i m natalie morales. and this is dateline. i texted him, he wasn t answering. i arrived at the office, i could see that something was really, really wrong. i called somebody that steve worked with. he said, steve s been shot. and i said, did he survive? he said no. steven pitt was unforgettable. i think he s one of a kind. he just completely broke the mold. he was the first to die that week. hunted down by a man with a gun and a grudge. i felt that when this

doctor steven pitt. steve videotape his interviews with them as part of the custody case. can you do me a favor and spell your full name? connie jones. okay. i thought he was exceptional. his report, i thought, was very detailed and accurate. doctor pits report matched what rick had come to believe about dwight jones. without psychiatric intervention in treatment, mr. jones mental state is going to continue to unravel. he will become increasingly paranoid, likely psychotic, and pose an even greater risk for perpetrating violence. dwight s probation ended, connie obtained an order of protection, once again prohibited him from owning guns. this case is a scariest case i ve ever been involved in. remember karen kolbe?
