Retired FBI Special Agent John Douglas is a famous figure in law enforcement and was the model for the Scott Glenn character in The Silence of the Lambs. As chief of the FBI’s Investigative Support Unit, Douglas has been an innovator in behavioral science and criminal profiling. He retired from the FBI in 1995, after pursuing predators such as the Atlanta child murderer, Seattle’s Green River Killer (or killers) and San Diego’s Trailside Killer, and having done years of research into the criminal mind, including face-to-face interviews with Ed Kemper, Charles Manson, David Berkowitz, Richard Speck and many others. He has authored several books and conducts speaking engagements on a regular basis. Douglas continues to do pro bono work for victims of violent crime and their families, advising pardon and parole boards, and speaking to law enforcement groups about the value behavioral science has in their work. When accessing the John Douglas Mindhunter web site, visitors can read articles, participate in discussions, link to other useful sites, and will soon be able to read and interact about cases that still need solving.
