How Hunting A Serial Killer Actually Works | How Crime Works | Insider

From what I'm gathering from the comment section. "Dude talks about ego while having a big ego". He's being interviewed about a topic he knows well, at the same time he's talking about his credentials to show validity to the viewer about his experience. Pretty basic stuff.

I'm glad that you went out of your way to say that the traits society has associated with serial killers- narcissism, sociopathy, etc- don't make someone a serial killer or evil. People are way too quick to link traits with being a horrible person when most people are just plain people

I don't understand all the hate. This guy was fantastic to listen to. I especially appreciated how he talked about police fixating on an individual and trying to fit evidence to that narrative.

My friend's brother is a a detective for the Metropolitan police and he has been left with PTSD, terrible mood swings. He once had a crossbow pointed at his head as he had to talk someone down. It's an oppresive job to do

What’s really funny is I hear so much about serial killers in the US that it almost sounds foreign to hear about them in other countries.

11:30 compared to those JCS clone interrogation videos where like a suspect blinks and the narrator is like "here the suspect blinks which indicates that he's feeling the stress of lying. Most people blink on a regular basis, but it's incriminating that the suspect chose to blink at this time to deceive the interrogator."

At the end he's saying "it's not about me" but the video is full of "I did this", "I made that connection", "the police got it wrong but I didn't", I can't say I sensed humility from him during this interview.

“Evidence is key for me” I would hope so…

The hate in this comment section is so undeserved, yeah he didn’t need to bring up that he was a sports captain or whatever but you can’t honestly say that detracted from his insight on serial killers. The guy’s an expert at what he does and he’s answering every question he gets asked in great detail.

good on him for telling people body language "expertise" is bullshit

When he said "no one intimidate me", that's some aura right there

A lot of people are talking saying this guy being interviewed but lets not forget that this is chopped and edited. The producers also ask some specifically wordered questions.

I think that serial killers just don't deserve to be put back into society and society doesn't deserve to have monsters lurking amongst them

I know there's a criminal justice definition of a "serial killer," but I think there is also an additional colloquial qualification of a serial killer - that a serial killer does not kill for profit or practicality (at least as a primary motive). They kill out of compulsion or desire. The reason I think that qualification is useful is that it distinguishes what most people picture when they hear "serial killer" vs. people like gangsters or hitmen who have killed dozens of people, but only ever killed out of anger, for profit, or to protect themselves (in their own minds). Sammy Gravano confessed to 19 murders as a mafia hitman, but no one would refer to him as a serial killer. If you ask 1000 people to describe a serial killer, none of them are going to think of the gangster. They're going to think of the person who kills because of compulsion or desire. Someone who doesn't really gain anything from the crime, they just do it because they like it or feel compelled to do it.

I try to watch everything featuring Mark Williams-Thomas. Thanks for this upload 🙏

0:23 Kinda amazed that you guys know about Chikatillo, notorious serial killer in the USSR (the first one to be actually convicted of it, if I remember correctly), love this channel, cheers!

I hope friends & families of the victims effected by cases getting colder and colder find some sense of understanding how detectives go about there investigation whether it be here or an other authoritative source.

If anyone is interested in the topic, I highly recommend Eric Hickey's Serial Killers and their Victims. It was the core book for my lectures in Criminal Psychology. Easy read, very understandable.

People aren't all monsters, but all monsters are people. It's a complicated world.

"Do they intimidate me? No. No one intimidates me." 👀
