Additionally, the show name-drops infamous New York assassin David Berkowitz (or Son of Sam), hippie-cult leader Charles Manson, paranoid schizophrenic “earthquake” slayer Herbert Mullin, and sexually sadistic murderer Gerard Schafer, among others. As an added creepy bonus, most of the episodes include scenes of the “warming up” period of an ADT Serviceman (played by Sonny Valicenti) who bears a striking similarity to Dennis Rader. Although stylized for the show, the well-documented Rader, or BTK (for bind-torture-kill), purportedly went through similar rituals, before murdering several women and an entire family, right under the nose of his wife, kids, and community. Rader was finally captured in 2005, perhaps suggesting the timespan Mindhunter hopes to cover.

Billy Jensen is an investigative crime writer who focuses specifically cold cases. He says in this book that he hunts killers because he “hates the guy got away with it,” but after the death of his close friend and writing partner, Michelle McNamara, he hates that so many people devote so much of their lives to finding killers. He got so discouraged at reporting questions with no answers that he tried his hand at solving murders themselves. This book talks about the cases that he helped solve and his journey to solving them. (He also stepped in after the late Michelle MacNamara’s death to help finish her book about the Golden State Killer, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.He and Paul Holes also host a podcast about cold cases to incite interest in fellow amateur sleuths who can help bring criminals to justice.)

Ford and Tench hit a dead end with their investigation to catch the Atlanta killer. Ford suggests a new plan to lure the killer.

Granted, now we have more statistics than at the time period of Mindhunter‘s setting. That is, like, the whole point of the show, to study serial killers, and to expand their profiles so that everyone can identify the traits and attempt to intervene. Sirhan Sirhan and the Atlanta Monster immediately jump to mind as examples of nonwhite murderers who are now common knowledge. McNary, Dave (December 5, 2019).
