For centuries the world has been fascinated by serial killers. Who are they? What makes them tick? What do they choose to kill? To try to answer those questions the authorities turned to one woman: Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess.

“[Holmstrom] had wanted to study rape, but hadn't had any success in finding rape victims,” Burgess said. “It's no different now than it was back then. They really are hidden. They're really silent.” She describes the moment in her new book, “A Killer By Design”: “I realized if I wanted to fully understand the nature of a crime, I'd have to see both the victim and the perpetrator as two halves of the same story.”
Thus began Burgess’ work with the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit -- the “Mindhunters” popularized over the last several years by a Netflix series loosely documenting their work. “Of course the content was fascinating,” Burgess said, recalling the first time she listened to the interview tapes. “It became clear to me that they had a wonderful opportunity to get all kinds of information. But they didn’t have a plan. And that’s where I came in and suggested that they really needed to have some kind of methodology to it.”Ann Burgess is pictured in an undated handout photo released by Boston College.
