There are two parts to every crime story: how they did it and why
they got caught.This book is about the second part, and how it
changes the way we catch serial killers. No two stories about the
capture of a serial killer are the same. Sometimes, the killers
make crucial mistakes; other times, investigators get lucky. And
the process of profiling, hunting, and apprehending these predators
has changed radically over time, particularly in the field of
criminal forensics, which has exploded in the last ten to 15 years.
Laser ablation, video spectral analysis, cyber-sleuthing, and even
DNA-based genetic genealogy are now crucial tools in solving
murders, including the recent capture of the so-called Golden State
Killer. This book in the new Profiles in Crime series tells the
history of forensics through the "capture stories" of some of the
most notorious serial killers, going back almost a century. The
killers include: Rodney Alcala, a serial rapist and murderer
sometimes called "Dating Game killer" for his appearance on that TV
show. No one knows the exact number of his victims. Takahiro
Shiraishi, the suicide killer from Zama, Japan, who dismembered
nine victims and stored their bodies in his refrigerator. Aileen
Wuornos, one of the rare female serial killers. She shot seven men
in Florida and was turned in by an accomplice. Jeffrey Dahmer, the
"Milwaukee Cannibal," and Bobby Joe Long, both identified by
survivors Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam"), who both
made mistakes Ludwig Tessnow, who killed several children in
Germany, and was caught through new methods in forensic
investigation that could distinguish human from animal blood
