Met Mr. Douglas at a book tour signing, when I was in Alaska. This was 1997. The thing I remember was how he was so well dressed... on this chilly, snowy and dreadful winter day. He was a very charming man. Very nice to everyone who stopped by. I remember him saying how he was happily shocked that so many people showed up.

[@densealloy]

I worked major crimes which included homicide, rape, child sexual abuse etc for 6 years and it took me almost as long to get back to my old personality. I can't imagine how much this man's life has been effected by his studies. While these studies were so important( I used elements of his techniques from interviews to crime scene processing) to law enforcement, I feel saddened because I know what kind of toll it takes on the officer.

I find it really interesting that he suffered from PTSD and physical maladies, but no surprise. It sounds like with many sufferers of PTSD he dealt with insomnia and trying to reconcile what is truly insidious behavior. Having seen the "dark side" of humanity on a close and personal basis, it changes you and you will forever live with its traumatic effects. Trauma experts cite how the body internalize trauma, weakening it and making it more succeptible to illness. It sounds like his work came at a tremendous personal cost, but to the benefit of humanity.

I have the DVD of every serial killer movie ever made, and I am also a fan of Mindhunter. In my case it is in part because I have some commonality with some of them, without getting into detail if mt childhood was a little worse or I had made different choices, I might have been one. But I took a different path, but they still interest me greatly, Kemper in particular.

Come on guys, Robert Ressler predates this guy for actual involvement in "serial killers". They both joined the FBI in 70 only Ressler's career did not start in other areas of concentration and he went immediately into behavioral science drawing up profiles. You can't say Johnson is lonely responsible that's just false.

[@anonymousmobster2444]

Douglas is known for being a bit narcissistic, but the thing about him is that he *pioneered* profiling while Ressler just sort of did it.

[@rachelraquel758]

Douglas pushed it a lot more, Ressler was more laid back. Not completely different from Bill and Holden.

[@carolrondou6161]

[@lburns7952]

I'm glad Douglas got the recognition he deserves. When a spectacular idea comes out of the Bureau they usually take ALL the credit. Newsanchor: ' Yes, today THE FBI came out with new procedure......' He taught this all over the world. Even Russia asked for help with (Andre Chikatilo). And they never ask for anything.

[@endcensorship874]

"Golden Age of Serial Killers" is a great phrase. I was thinking about how there are so fewer serial killers than before. My theory is that these serial killers are found much sooner in their killing time space, due to better coordination from LEO's. I think that a big part of that is the advent of the internet and better information dissemination. I believe that there are as many Serial Killers as the 60's and 70's, I don't think that has changed.

[@tracytracy622]

I was thinking that serial killers have been around far longer than the 1970's and on. They just started becoming much more well-known at that time. True crime is fascinating!

[@Gos1234567]

Now there is DNA,security cameras everywhere,mobile tech to track people.Harder to get away with murder these days. Basically in the 70s/80s unless you where caught red handed you got away with it. All the big name serial killers then didn’t even try that hard to cover up their crimes.

[@philnewlun7974]

Look at Jack the ripper only reason he was so well known is he challenged the police. Imagine living then you could strangle someone and it would have been written off as a bad fall.

[@billscannell93]

Not to mention DNA technology. It seems like there are fewer serial killers nowadays, but a lot more of the mass shooter type. (I remember one of the mass shooters claimed he had considered serial killing, but decided it would be too easy to get caught.) The fads among sickos change over time, but basically it's all the same crap. Cruelty and perversion have always existed, and sadly will continue to for the foreseeable future.

[@danieldabella4869]

[@richardclifford003]

Back in the 80s, I underwent profile training from John Douglas and Ken Leonard from the BSU. It opened my eyes so I was able to look into the shadows of my murder investigations. Over the course of seven years in Germany alone, I investigated over 100 death cases. One in particular the profile training was spot on. I was on a task force investigating the rape and murder of three women. When I asked an innocuous question about jewelry from the suspect's cadre, I discovered the suspect's cache of trophies. That question not only added to the direct evidence in the case against the suspect, but circumstantial evidence to the unsolved murders of at least eight women in the Chicago area. Even though I've been retired since 1998, I still use the profiling techniques I learned from John and Ken when dealing with people. It's a gift you tell no one about if you don't wish to lose an advantage. NOTE: For my money, the most prolific serial killer no one knows about is Israel Keyes (who subsequently committed suicide). It's my belief Keyes learned his tactics of DISINFORMATION while in the US Army. Even though his military records don't reflect any specialized training, in my opinion, he underwent advanced seek & destroy training. IMHO. I don't wish to steal anyone's thunder so if anyone reading this is interested, a wealth of information on Keyes can be found either by Googling his name or searching his name through KZbin. I guarantee you, it's well worth the read/watch.

@Michael Terrell II as a general he fought in the Vietnamese resistance against the Japanese in WW2. Then he masterminded the defeat of the colonial power of France. Then a super power of the United States. Oh and as if that wasn't enough he later removed one of the most vile dictators in history Pol Pot from power in Cambodia. Not a bad CV.

[@GodlessScummer]

@Michael Terrell II technically it was still a defeat for the United States. Giap's strategy was to wear down the US will to fight that war rather than adopting a conventional warfare approach. In that respect he succeeded. Defeat on the battlefield was irrelevant to the outcome at the end of the day.

[@GodlessScummer]

@Michael Terrell II I disagree. I don't think there's any way that the US can spin Vietnam as some kind of win. If the goal was just to stop the spread of Communism then it failed as it spread to South Vietnam as a direct result of that war. I appreciate people being patriotic and wanting to believe the best possible outcome for their country. However the reality was very different as the outcome of that war.

Correction: Heidnik was not the inspiration for Silence of The Lambs' Buffalo Bill. It's common knowledge, that Ed Gein primarily was. There were 5 other serial killers they borrowed from, to round out the character. Ed Gein is a popular source for Hollywood. He was also the basis for Psycho, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He's probably the most gruesome killer inn human history. If the average person really knew everything Gein said & did, they would be sick & never let their daughters out of their site.

This man is half *Saint* & half *Genius Detective* / _Super Hero_ . He was the real life Sherlock, but even that is to put it mildly. He had to rewrite the book on how to Profile & interpret crimes. One of History's Human Treasures. He sacrificed pieces of his _soul_ to do this kind of research. It sounds like a cool job. But at night, his dreams would be horrific.

Good line to remember and quote often. But you are right, who can look away from a gory car wreck or a violent murder. I can't, i have to look. And one thing is true: you cannot un-see something. That is a fact.

There’s a great series on the Plantagenet Kings. Maybe one day you can cover them too.
