In this episode we explore the life of Edmund Kemper, the co-ed killer who murdered six college students; his mother and her best friend. Detailing how a harrowing childhood of neglect helped create this serial killer from the material of what may have been an ordinary intelligent man. We use the famous meeting between Kemper and FBI criminal profiler John Douglas (The Mindhunter) to develop a history of criminal profiling going back to the early 20th century and how it changed the FBI. Ending with a comparison between Kemper and other serial killer Jerome Brudos.
