"Mind Hunter: The Real-Life Silence of the Lambs"
Join USF College of Arts and Sciences for an Evening with John Douglas "Mind Hunter: The Real-Life Silence of the Lambs".
As an innovator at the FBI in the late 1970s, John Douglas developed new investigative techniques for hunting serial killers, sex offenders, and other violent offenders. Advancing the use in investigations of the procedure known as criminal profiling, Douglas became widely recognized as its top authority.
While leading the FBI's Investigative Support Unit, Douglas used profiling in numerous prominent cases, including the Unabomber, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Edmund Kemper - the first murderer introduced in Netflix's hit show "Mindhunter" - which was inspired by Douglas' best-selling book, "Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit."
Free and open to the public, no ticket required. Intended for mature audiences.
Where: Marshall Student Center, Oval Theatre, USF Tampa
When: Thursday, November 8, 2018 at 7:30 PM
