The Arizona man who killed six people in Phoenix over four days had published paranoid and angry videos about his former wife and the psychiatrist her lawyer hired during their bitter divorce.
The clips, obtained by The Phoenix New Times, showed Dwight Lamon Jones, 56, call his ex-wife’s psychologist Steven Pitt a ‘scumbag’ and his ex-wife Connie a ‘pathological liar’.
He shared her interview with Dr Pitt, which was used in court proceedings, to the social media channel and paused to make his own commentary.

Dwight Lamon Jones, 56, killed himself on Monday when police closed in on the hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he was staying following his four-day crime spree. Jones targeted his victims given their connections to his bitter divorce from ex-wife Connie Jones
Dr Steven Pitt, a prominent forensic psychiatrist who assisted in high-profile murder cases including the JonBenet Ramsey mystery, and who sided with Connie during the divorce, was found dead near Scottsdale on Thursday
During the interview, he made wild, unproven claims about his former partner’s sexual activity and claims she set him up to be placed into psychiatric care.
‘I was released and found to be no threat to her, my son or the general public or myself, because that’s what you put people in there for – to make sure they’re not a threat to the public,’ he says as the pair discuss his time in hospital.
‘The way she got me in there was kind of sleazy, but that’s another story.’
During the interview, which Jones posted to YouTube with the title: ‘Interview with a lying female doctor’, Connie tells the psychiatrist Jones was paranoid about her fidelity.
She says she found a kit to test her underwear, a telephone tracing device and pages underlined in suspect books in sections that explained concepts like creating a car bomb.
Convinced his ex-wife was trying to set him up alongside a detective who allegedly helped her during the case, Jones again points to collusion.
‘Now who do you think found this evidence,’ he asked.

Jones shared the videos to YouTube in May, where he discussed the judge, counselor and forensic psychiatrist who were involved in the family court case which saw him lost custody of his children.
The psychiatrist, Steven Pitt, who assisted in the JonBenét Ramsey mystery in Colorado, was called a ‘scumbag’ in one of the videos. He was killed Thursday.
Jones said in the videos that he had been a stay-at-home dad who occasionally taught tennis.
The 56-year-old killed six people over four days around Arizona, with the final two identified on Monday night.
While it is not yet known how the final two are connected to Jones’ divorce or the man himself, police say they have probable cause to link all six killings to him.
Two of the other victims were paralegals for a law firm that represented Jones’ wife in their divorce case, one was Dr Pitt, the psychiatrist who testified against Jones in court in the divorce case and the fourth was a marriage-and-divorce counselor, who apparently was targeted in a case of mistaken identity.
Scottsdale police later identified the final two victims, a couple found fatally shot in a home in Fountain Hills, as 70-year-old Mary Simmons and 72-year-old Bryon Thomas. They were found dead early Monday morning.
