Inside the minds of serial killers and those who track them down
with Greg Moffatt

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Want to write the spine-tingling mystery that has been in the back of your mind? Need to learn more before digging in? Then this course will give you the much-needed look behind the scenes, so you can add key elements to your book.

This course will address the process of homicide/violent crime profiling.  It will cover how serial killers think, what motivates them, how to identify signature, and it will address the specifics of how profiling works.  Among topics to be addressed will be crime scene analysis (i.e. photos, blood patterns, staging), assessment of autopsy information, witness statements, and police reports and how these aid profiling and cold case study.  Finally, the class will address the many mistakes that crime scene investigators make that create problems for profilers and cold case investigators.
