Forensic Files (1996)

Episode Overview

Title: Pure Evil Plot: Developing a profile for a serial murderer blends scientific analysis with instinctive understanding. The scientific approach entails examining the behaviors of previous offenders to identify shared traits. In the investigation of the murders of two teenagers in Texas, a behavioral profile pointed towards a potential suspect, and empirical evidence confirmed the profile's validity. This study highlights a disturbing trend: many serial killers often have a background of animal cruelty.
