  • Summary

  • Jim Clemente and Kathy Canning-Mello are both former FBI Profilers. They worked together for more than a decade in the FBI’s legendary Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), where they analyzed, researched and consulted on some of the most terrifying violent and sexual crimes across the country.

    As FBI Profilers, they used victimology, the study of the victim, because an offender’s choice of victim unwittingly reveals information about that offender. They identified patterns in offender behavior to zero-in on suspects. And they used indirect personality assessments to figure out a killer’s motivations and, at times, to get them to interact with law enforcement, which could ultimately lead to their identification and capture.

    In an ordinary police department, officers might only come across the worst types of cases once or twice in their careers. So when terrible crimes happen, they might not have the experience to crack the case. That’s where the BAU comes in. Jim and Kathy worked on everything from cold cases to active serial killer investigations, marshalling all their expertise to capture violent offenders and to prevent future crimes.

    In this series, Kathy and Jim revisit the cases that haunted them most over the course of their FBI careers. They bring you along every step of the way in their investigations, to reveal what they learned about some of the most infamous crimes in history and demonstrate the profiling that helped to find the offenders…and bring justice to the victims.

    This series contains mature themes and is not appropriate for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

    Episode 1: Spangler
    Jul 11 2024
    Robert Spangler is one of the most unique serial killers that Jim and Kathy encountered in their careers in the Behavioral Analysis Unit. Spangler killed multiple wives and two of his children over the course of two decades, and had never even been considered a suspect in the death investigations. But then the FBI used criminal behavioral analysis to crack the cases all at once and get Spangler to confess to being a serial killer.

Fascinating

Two professionals recalling old crimes and their own roles. It’s great, if you like that sort of thing.

Well researched and told

I really liked this podcast and found it very easy to listen to. The fact that they were real people who actually had life experience working with the FBI behavor analysis unit was an added bonus factor for their credibility about the episodes

I adore Jim and Kathy

I like this take on the BAU, it was an excellent podcast, Victim/survivor-centric want to hear more true-crime podcasts like this one form those working the cases.

Riveting ~ both hosts are excellent communicators

With this podcast ~ one cannot fail to feel just a
small bit closer to understanding why ~ people
do what they do. Compelling listening.

Very interesting! Highly reccomend

True stories of famous crimes told by law enforcement officers those who worked on the cases. Gives an interesting perspective of how profilers solve crimes. It was hard to hear the details but was fascinating to learn their approach and conclusions. They also do a great job of debunking myths and conspiracies of famous crimes.
