FBI unit takes tough cases
QUANTICO — A special FBI unit operating from the lower levels of one of the FBI Academy’s modem buildings tackles crimes that are too baffling for local police to handle.
Its members work without high technology equipment or fancy laboratories. Their tools are the human mind, and they process information using only evidence, intellect and logical deduction.
They are the FBI Crime Profilers. The unit has been dubbed by the media as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. Chief profiler John Douglas said the unit’s seven headquarters agents and 100 field agents handle about 700 cases each year.
Mr. Douglas was an FBI agent for 16 years and has been in profiling for a decade. At 41, he has interviewed such notorious crime figures as Charles Manson and Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme. His research has led him to interviews with 36 sex murderers, 40 serial rapists, 16 child molesters and about 10 assassins, he said.
Using the information taken from these interviews, Mr. Douglas said the unit has been able to come up with information about why people kill, their behavior before and after the offenses, how they select their victims and the frequency of their attacks.
