Recent developments in Seattle surrounding Gary Ridgway and the Green River Murders have attracted national attention. One of the lead investigators in the initial investigation was FBI 'Profiler' John Douglas. Now retired, Douglas spent most of his 25 years of service inside the FBI's Investigative Support Unit (Behavioral Science Unit). Along with Robert Ressler, Douglas conducted landmark research into the personality and behavior of the violent criminal and has helped to pioneer the use of profiling in serial crimes. He is a veteran investigator of serial killers and sexual predators and, holding a doctorate in education, he is also a gifted scholar and lecturer who has co-authored and contributed to over 100 articles and research papers.
