Mindhunter: Inside the FBI Elite Serial Crime Unit (Now A Netflix Series)

Product Information

Throughout 10, slow-burning episodes, Fincher and company follow the team as they document the ugliest and most brutal “sequential killers,” in modern history.

Ford watches a press conference concluding the Atlanta case, but he continues to be troubled knowing that he still could not solve the rest of the missing children's murders and bring closure for the families involved. Responsible for killing five women, like Kemper and Brudos, he comes across as a self-pitying, woman-hater. At their home, Brian's babysitter discovers a crime scene photo showing Ada Jeffries dead with a wooden pole inserted in her anus.He says in this book that he hunts killers because he “hates the guy got away with it,” but after the death of his close friend and writing partner, Michelle McNamara, he hates that so many people devote so much of their lives to finding killers. Kemper first came to light in the 70s due to his massive 6’9”, 250-pound frame and his remarkable sadism. While in Atlanta with Jim Barney to interview two killers ( William "Junior" Pierce and William Henry Hance), Ford is approached by three mothers who ask him to investigate the seemingly related murders of their children. When the clock strikes midnight and the victim shows no sign of arriving, he becomes fed up with waiting, tidies up after himself, and leaves in frustration.

Creator Joe Penhall, Fincher, and the writing staff were shrewd to include the troubling offenders with relatively little alterations while appropriately tweaking the personal aspects of the agents' lives. He and Paul Holes also host a podcast about cold cases to incite interest in fellow amateur sleuths who can help bring criminals to justice. Sirhan Sirhan and the Atlanta Monster immediately jump to mind as examples of nonwhite murderers who are now common knowledge.John followed that up by co-authoring many books and consulting, privately, on major cases like JonBenet Ramsey’s. They interview Berkowitz and get him to admit to lying about hearing voices and demons, furthering their data on classifications of killers. Over the course of the show, the triad interviews serial killers, tracks down criminals, and develops the rudimentary tactic of criminal profiling. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and subsequently jailed in a juvenile mental health facility for the murders. Anna Torv as Wendy Carr, a psychology professor working towards tenure at Boston University who joins the BSU.
