A Florida therapist specializing in anger management, Travis McBride, 46, has been arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder in the death of 51-year-old Clinton Dorsey. This shocking crime news casts a dark shadow over the mental health profession and raises disturbing questions about McBride's past and motives.
Police in DeLand, Florida, responded to a report of a "suspicious incident" on Thursday, only to find a body near the crime scene. McBride, identified as the suspect, was later apprehended and is currently held without bond.
Investigations revealed that McBride and Dorsey knew each other and were apparently embroiled in an ongoing dispute. The two men crossed paths tragically, leading to Dorsey's death according to authorities.
A female witness, fearing for her safety, described a chilling sequence of events. On the night before Dorsey's death, McBride reportedly approached her, searching for Dorsey and claiming he "was going to kill him." Later that night, gunshots shattered the stillness, and the witness alleges seeing McBride shooting the victim.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, the witness describes being threatened by McBride the following morning, preventing her from contacting authorities. Further reports corroborated her story, with another witness claiming to see McBride cleaning up the scene and transporting the body.
While McBride marketed himself as a therapist specializing in anger management, his past paints a conflicting picture. Court records detail a 2017 incident where he allegedly choked a woman, although charges were not pursued. This raises concerns about potential past patterns and their connection to the recent tragedy.
McBride's professional profile and website remain online, highlighting the stark contrast between his advertised expertise and the accusations he now faces.
As the investigation continues, the community grapples with the loss of Dorsey and the shocking accusations against McBride. Legal proceedings are underway, with further details and McBride's plea yet to be disclosed.
This disturbing case underscores the importance of due diligence and thorough background checks in the mental health field. It also serves as a reminder that sometimes, even those entrusted with helping others may harbor demons of their own.
