About this listen
Edmund Kemper stood 6'9", had a genius-level IQ, and murdered ten people, including his own mother. But his real legacy? He helped build the FBI's entire criminal profiling system. This is the case that changed how we investigate serial killers. Kemper's interviews with FBI agents John Douglas and Robert Ressler in the late 1970s became the foundation for modern behavioral analysis... the techniques law enforcement still uses today to catch violent offenders. We're diving deep into how a kid locked in a basement by his own mother became one of America's most notorious serial killers, and how his willingness to explain his crimes in meticulous detail revolutionized criminology. From the murder of his grandparents at age 15 to the co-ed killings that terrorized Santa Cruz in the early 1970s, this is the story of the "Co-ed Killer" who became the blueprint for understanding serial murder. What patterns emerged from his crimes? How did his case transform criminal investigation? And what does his story teach us about preventing the next Edmund Kemper?
