CrimeCon 2026

What pushes someone past the point of no return to commit the most heinous crime? What makes someone think there is no other option than murder? Using his real homicide cases as reference points, Joe Kenda will break down the warning signs, patterns, and triggers that repeatedly surfaced throughout his career to identify possible connections to what makes the criminal mind do what they do.
Exclusively for CrimeCon Vegas attendees, Kenda will examine the moments, pressures, and decisions that transformed conflict into murder, as together you’ll seek to uncover and analyze the various motives and breaking points behind a person’s decision to commit the ultimate crime and hopefully learn from those findings how to prevent future acts of violence.
