(Ed) (2009)_Criminal lnvestiga‘tiveFailures: New York: CRC Press; :I Was asked to review the above material as it relates: to the “profile" entered into evidence in this case. It is my opinion that the profile as developed by Dr. Landrum and endorsed by Mr. Heskew and Mr. Gomezi'was constructed prematurely and is, flat wrong. A profile is an investigative tool thatmay be’offered only gjkr all logical. investigation has been exhausted and no suspecthas been developed. it is improper to offer a profile early in an‘investigation or without reviewing all investigative material, The original FBI article on Lust Murder makes this clear, stating that the profile of a Lust Murderer is best employed as an investigative tool, “..._butimust not alter, suspend, or replaCe prescribed investigative proCedures,"4 The profile and crime classification previously offered into evidence in this matter Was that of a luSt murder committed by a male who was homosexual or seXUally ambivalent. This is contrary to the FBI's findings that victims of lust murders are consistent With an offender’s rseXua'l orientation. That is, lust murderers who are heteroseXual males target female victims while homosexual lust murderers target male victims. Clinically, lust murder is a paraphilia known as Erotophonoph’ilia. Like other paraphjlic disorders it results in compulsive and repetitiVe behavior, therefore, lust murderers are most often serial killers. There‘is a multitude of examples of this phenomenon. For example, heterosexual lust murderers include Ted Bundy, who murdered andmutilated approximately 30 female victims; Edmund Kemper, who abdu_cted, murdered and mutilated several college women; H.H. Holmes, who murdered and mutilated approximately 27 Women in the.18910‘s in Chicago; and Jerry Brudos, who murdered and disfigured four female Victims between 1968-1969 in Oregon. Homosexual lust murderers include Jeffrey Dahmer', who murdered and dismembered 17 men and boys; Randy Kraft, who raped, tortured and mutilated at least 16 young men} and Dean Corll, who raped, tortured and murdered at heat 28 boys between 1970-1973 in Houston, Texas. 4 Hazelwood, R.-, Douglas, J, The Lust Murderer: .FBl Law Enforcement Bulletin Vol. 49 Issue: 4 dated; (April 1980 pg. 21) . Lust murders are rare. Intimate partner femici‘des, i.e.-, the killing of a woman by her intimate partner or former intimate partner, are not, There are numerous scientific-ally sound, empirically’validated studies that document the fact that women are far more likely to be murdered by an intimate partner than a stranger. A federal, study of homicides from 1980-" 2008 found that an intimate killed 63.7% of female homicide 5 victims, Homicides committed by intimates can involve attaCks to the sexually significant—areas of the victim, This is especially truein relationships where the offender has had a sexual relationship with. the victim, has a sense of entitlement over the victim and. feels threatened when that relationship ends and his sexual partnet is moving on to other relationships, This mind set is commonly referred "Ifl to as, canft have her, no one can." Such cases often result ”in death and sexual disfigurement of the: victim,» Forensic Psychiatrist Ronald Matkman has "Men written that, like this ,mtake'their Women into. such integral parts oftheir lives thatWhen the woman threatened to breakfr'ee, the: danger was not one of loss of love, buta loss of control that was psychically interpreted as potential less of 'life itself; Running or 'letting go’ away could not diSsipate the anxiety created by this anticipated loss. In fact, both of these steps wOuld only heighten the, anxiety. Unfortunately, violence usually is just What is needed. to dissipate the anxiety as well as restore control...Ps_ychically, the killer kills out of self-defense The Only'way he can preserve his psychic integrity and discharge the explosive anxiety within is to ‘ " restore control through the most extreme Violence."5 In addition to this is the reality that some who murder an intimate partner “stage” the crime and crime scene to appear to be a sexual homicide. (Therefore, investigators can never rush to judgment and make a threshold diagnosis or classification of a ’crime.
