Original subtitles

Police search for mass murderer suspected of killing 21 prostitutes.

Police are looking for a man nicknamed the Green River Killer.

We knew we had to a serial killer.

At the end of the 80s, There was a new class of serial killers.

It was in March that the researchers they began to link the cases...

"HAPPY FACE" MURDERS?

…of the killer with the happy face.

These were more sophisticated killers.

They contacted the media.

The man who is made call the BTK killer.

The letters where authorship is claimed they were sent by a man

who referred to himself as BTK.

We studied men, women and children who could have been killed.

They don't kill for the same reasons

that the first serial killers what studied.

Behavioral science.

It was known that we made profiles.

They filled us with cases.

They are coming about 300 profiling requests a year.

They arrive faster than we can handle.

We were limited We didn't have many profilers.

I think the numbers are out of control.

We reject many.

Disappearances, rapes and murders.

A serial strangler of children.

They murdered three other young women.

The cases were not investigated. They just filed them.

It's very dangerous. These are people who are killing.

We should do a better job.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF CONDUCT

At the end of the 80s,

the team noticed

that, to a certain extent, They had created profiles for themselves.

Dr. Burgess wanted to move forward in profiling

so that it was an applicable tool for the police.

Co-author, A Killer By Design

European attendees ask for information.

We wanted to train the police to use this tool.

We had to publish it.

With input from Ann, I see there is a post

that would be used within the police circle.

FEDERAL INVESTIGATION AGENCY

"Masked rapist"

I hoped it would make a difference.

Obsessions, fantasies.

I wouldn't let myself fall in a possible trap.

Longing for something more difficult.

Organized and disorganized.

Two types of personalities.

Someone loves someone so much. It is almost impossible to prevent it.

Birth order

Substance Use

Social Competence

We try to break down the whole process studying those people.

The classification according to what they did,

they are likely to live alone, near the scene.

You deal with a guy who is not the introverted loner.

Many of them are in a brilliant and very superior group.

Sexual Homicide PATTERNS AND MOTIFS

The material was published in a book academic called Sexual Homicide.

For me and the team, It was something huge. A breakthrough.

We gave courses all over the country, information that emerged

of our work so far.

The program began to expand.

There are now 29 known victims of the Green River Killer.

The local police asked him for help to a special unit of the FBI.

The FBI was notorious for being one-sided. We don't give anything.

Louisiana Detective, Retired

The Behavioral Sciences Unit arrived and suddenly,

Not only did they gather information,

but they came back to help solve problems.

We use the Unit of Behavioral Sciences

that the FBI established in Quantico, Virginia.

It's a team effort, but profiling It is key for the police.

Somonauk Sheriff, Retired

The information helped the police to investigate these crimes

and catch the murderers.

Authorities arrested Dennis Rader, of 59, for the BTK murders.

The arrest of one of the murderers most prolific in the country.

Keith Jesperson wants to do a full confession of his crimes

like the Happy Face Killer.

The Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway, He confessed that he killed 48 women.

I think there is no doubt that there would have been more.

McDuff arrested in Missouri

Good job everyone.

arrested

For the first time, we had a profiler working in almost all states.

And we solved more cases than ever.

With the help of Ann Burgess,

we could play chess a little better,

and maybe we catch the murderer a couple of victims before

than we would have done in the past.

Robert Ressler has made his career tracking and apprehending

to serial killers most violent in the country.

He was an advisor on the book

used for the movie The silence of the inocents.

I wanted to ask you about the movie.

Did you like it?

I thought it was an incredible movie...

In the movie, Douglas was played by Scott Glenn.

- Good day. - Hello, Mr. Crawford.

JOHN DOUGLAS AND MARK OLSHAKER OBSESSION

Douglas and Ressler wrote books,

they were advisors for TV shows

and shared their story as possible.

To get the job done effectively…

The inspired program in Journey into Darkness.

It was interesting talking to Ann. of why her story remained hidden.

She did not want to adopt the cultural mystique like many other agents.

It was kept hidden...

Clinical and Forensic Psychologist

…partly because of his style of not promoting yourself.

Dr. Burgess has been in this work with the UCC.

And she begins to rethink

How can she best continue her efforts? to be at the service of the victims.

Most agents Those I worked with retired.

I wanted to move forward. I was ready.

It seemed like the right thing to do.

The turkeys arrived.

They must eat.

I felt it was time,

but I didn't know what I was going to do next.

I had my own career in nursing, so all of that was active.

As an academic,

I had to be in new areas, write requests for funds, be published.

She expressed what she felt:

"I want to step back, breathe, Examine my surroundings and see…

Homicide Investigator

…how else I can use this job."

One day, a defense attorney called me And i ask myself

if you had heard of this case outside of Los Angeles, and it wasn't like that.

So he told me to go to a local store

for a copy of People magazine.

And I said, "Will this be my reading material for the cases?"

MURDER IN BEVERLY HILLS

Lyle and Erik Menendez accused of killing their parents

August 21, 1989

I heard of few murders...

Beverly Hills Police Chief

…wilder than this.

There are no signs of break-in or robbery.

Only the executive bodies

Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty, in the family TV room.

Jose Menendez was shot five times.

A fatal brain injury from behind the head.

His wife, Kitty, was unrecognizable.

Four shots to the head and face, six in arms, chest, hips, legs.

His sons Erik and Lyle they said they found the bodies,

but new evidence, from the records of the family psychologist

even a script about a rich kid who kills her parents,

they indicate that it was the brothers.

They killed their wealthy parents.

Yesterday they were read the charges to Lyle and Erik Menendez.

They murdered their parents to inherit 14 million.

A Lost Paradise in Beverly Hills

It was a high profile case and had never had a defense case.

It made no sense for the prosecution to say that it was for money.

his children did it for the money

There had to be something more,

so I agreed to go, at least to meet them.

THE ANGELS

My meeting with Erik was my first time in a room with a murderer.

He saw someone who killed his parents.

He was nice.

We could talk about sports, tennis and everything,

except from crime.

I needed to know exactly what happened. and also understand why they did it.

He asked me How could I talk about that?

And that's when I decided to use the drawings

because that would give him something concrete What to focus on.

You wouldn't have to look directly at me to talk about the situation.

We spent a whole day making the drawings.

This is the first Which gave me an idea of ​​why.

The father looks very big compared to this little Erik.

Erik wanted to go to college.

And the father said, "No. You will come home."

I LOVE YOU AT HOME

"I want you to sleep at home during the week".

He gave me an idea of how controlling the father was.

That was the beginning of the week that got worse.

Something happened that set everything in motion

and they had no choice than shoot their parents.

DAD

Based on the father, a very dominant person,

I felt there was an abuse problem.

It could have been psychological. It could have been physical.

There are many drawings

with father and son in Erik's room.

It seemed like a very unusual place to me.

I used it as a way of saying:

"What other things could you tell me What happened in the room?"

You could tell how difficult it was for him. say it.

DAD

Then I knew there was sexual abuse, which in itself is very complicated,

but it was also incest.

He was kind of stoic about it. Happened.

The two brothers were very close, They took great care of each other.

Erik told his older brother about sexual assault.

IT STILL HAPPENS. Sexual Things

He told me that he first abused Lyle,

but that his father preferred to small children.

That's why Erik became on the next victim.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?

The mother did not protect her children.

ALWAYS I knew it.

I HATE YOU

The abuse had been exposed.

I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH AGAIN to my brother

Lyle confronted his father.

The father was an executive of the music industry.

An incest secret that came to light It would have ruined Jose. Definitely.

DAD

I WARNED YOU NOT TO TELL LYLE

The father was threatening them.

NOW HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU TO ALL

AND I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN

WILL NOT TELL YOU to nobody.

I SWEAR TO YOU that he won't TELL anyone

YOU THREATENED DAD!

You could see them talking about fear what they felt...

HE GOES

TO KILL US.

...and they felt that their parents They were going to kill them.

IT'S OVER.

WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING.

PLEASE, LYLE, TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I'M AFRAID.

I DON'T WANT TO DIE. I'M TIRED. I CAN NOT GO

They were desperate, They felt it was imminent,

that something was going to happen to them.

They were to perform on Sunday night.

SUNDAY 7:45 P.M.

DAD

MOM

They killed their parents.

No matter the circumstances,

that is wrong,

but they abused them.

I understand what they had to endure.

So I decided to testify for the defense.

People always wonder

how ann got started for defense

when he moved on to court cases.

Immediately, she was challenged by other agents.

Many said:

"Why do you defend the bad guys?"

John Douglas told him: "You're making the wrong decision."

Agents always testify for the prosecution.

When she knew that she would be on the defense

and the case she was in, She would say he wasn't happy.

The Menendez case It could ruin his reputation.

They could say: "This woman that she always supported the good

she lost her way."

For me, it was important bring the truth to light

about trauma and abuse.

A colleague of hers came up and said: "You can't defend these guys.

If you do, other guys they could start talking

of his sexual abuse as well.

And she said, “Yeah, that's the point. This is the right thing to do."

JULY

LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL COURT VAN NUYS DIVISION

A murder trial began today in California.

The accused: two brothers. The victims: their parents.

Your defense: self-defense.

Legally, neither Lyle nor Erik they can be declared innocent.

They admit that they were killed.

His motives were questioned at trial.

Juries would decide if they were motivated out of fear for their lives or greed.

LOS ANGELES

If it is involuntary manslaughter They could be released after serving their sentence.

If it's first degree murder, It would mean the death penalty.

At the people's trial against Erik Menendez,

for the defense to call the witness.

Thank you, your honor. The defense calls Dr. Burgess.

Do you solemnly swear that the testimony will be the truth,

all the truth and nothing but the truth?

- I swear. - Go up to the stand and…

I knew it would be a difficult battle.

It was not an easy case.

Ann Wolbert Burgess.

Convicts can allege abused wife

There have been defenses based on abuse and the fear of the victims,

but they had only been used with handcuffs who killed their husbands.

Defense of battered wife gains acceptance

It had never been used in a male victim.

She knew it was unlikely.

After your 50 hours from interview with Erik Menendez,

did you formulate an opinion about whether he was sexually abused as a child?

- Yeah. -And what is his opinion?

And my opinion is yes.

The literature suggests that it is more difficult,

especially for a teenager, admit same-sex abuse.

Yes, it is much more difficult for a teenager. Yeah.

It seems to be related to mythology of male sexuality.

It is believed that men, no matter the age,

are able to manage, and maybe even enjoy,

any type of sexual activity and that they should not complain.

About that week before the shooting,

Did you determine critical factors that contributed to it happening

the shooting in this case?

Yeah.

Erik's father insisted for him to continue living at home.

Erik thinks that means that sexual abuse will continue.

Erik revealed his sexual abuse to Lyle.

Lyle's confrontation with his father,

that prompted the father's threat to protect the secret at all costs.

The father always said that he could

eliminate the family, get a new one and start again.

By removing them, He wasn't talking about killing them, right?

I don't think that was ever made clear.

How the Menendez trial became available live on Court TV,

millions of Americans watched it.

a live drama as fascinating as a soap opera.

According to expert witnesses, the brothers were traumatized

for years of alleged abuse.

That changed the gray matter in their heads.

I don't love going to court

because the only thing they want is to discredit you.

The cross-examination can be ruthless.

The prosecutor, Pam Bozanich she hinted that the theory

of the brain change was so believable

like research from Dr. Frankenstein.

Dr. Burgess, Could you tell them what suggestion is?

Suggestion is a concept

which says that very young children, questioned by therapists,

somehow, they conduct their interviews to suggest to the child an answer.

Dr. Burgess, Do you know what "psychological gobbledygook" is?

My reaction to that was, “He doesn’t understand.

"He will never understand."

I really felt like they were dropping bombs,

not only from the prosecutor, but certainly from the public arena.

That was hard.

"Abuse excuse" is unacceptable

There is no evidence that supports the excuse of abuse.

They only have doctors who listen to his story

and they say: "We believe them."

How did they manipulate the jury in this case?

It is self-defense.

I support the syndrome of abused women,

in real cases where there is no way to leave.

But when applied to young men, wealthy and mobile,

like the Menendez brothers, poses serious dangers

to the freedom of Americans.

That would destroy me.

My dad had been abusing me.

- Like: "My father raped me." - I never believed any of the tears.

I think you can see it here a couple of spoiled brats.

Can you tell the court who murdered his parents?

LYLE RETRACTS OF HIS AND ERIK'S CONFESSION

Our other two brothers, Danny Menendez and Jose Menendez Jr.

THEY WERE ACCUSED OF THE MURDER OF HIS PARENTS

Lyle and Erik Menéndez told horrible stories of parental abuse.

That makes them victims or calculating liars.

The public wanted to see to the Menendez brothers

like cold-blooded murderers.

Despite media resistance,

Dr. Burgess, when entering the room and talking about the abuse,

she had opened a door.

It's okay for a man to talk about rape.

And as she did throughout his career,

the trauma narrative began to change.

More abused men seek help

It is a very interesting trial and I want them to be absolved.

If they are convicted,

I would like to know What is your version of the story.

Men are raped too

I had a lot of support from other victims.

People who had never talked about anything.

And he gave this segment of our population

a voice that I felt good about.

Maybe Erik and Lyle Menendez They seem manipulative.

They can decide if they are credible and if his story touches heartstrings.

They can reach their own verdict.

JANUARY 1994

The court received a note this morning of…

jury.

Says:

"We regret to inform the court that we did not reach a unanimous decision

on any of the three charges."

Split Jury Decision Count 1

We had a hung jury. That pleased me.

At least we generated enough doubt to the jury.

I think they grew up in an abusive home.

LYLE MENENDEZ JURY

I don't think Jose and Kitty

They planned to kill them that night.

But I do think Lyle and Erik believe that.

And that's the difference.

Lawyer says jury hung It's better than an unfair verdict

His testimony had a great impact in the Menendez case.

When analyzing it, the media They ruled out any possibility

that these brothers would be acquitted.

RICH AND MURDERERS?

But it wasn't over.

To appeal or not to appeal is the question

I did not testify in the second trial

because the judge did not allow abuse experts.

Well, that surprised me.

It's been hell. The defense theory...

Defense Attorney

…which was a theory of imperfect self-defense.

He refused to instruct him.

The jury had not been able to hear all the truth.

The impact was enormous.

Yesterday, a Los Angeles jury found the brothers guilty

first degree murder for killing his parents.

Perpetual without conditional.

LIFE CHAIN ​​WITHOUT PAROLE

I felt bad for them.

And I still feel that it perpetuates without parole is wrong.

It's not something they would do again. They were not serial killers.

What we did was horrible.

I wish I could go back.

We will spend our lives in prison.

But if they don't put us in the same prison,

It is very likely that I will not see him again.

AND…

that's me...

There are things you can't stand and there are others that do.

When they took everything from you,

It would be the last thing you could bear.

I think when you take away from someone any kind of hope,

I think that is wrong.

We hear the word "Menendez" more than other cases.

I found it interesting that mom would work on such a public case.

There was always a part of her that wanted

maintain privacy and be reserved.

But it was a situation in which she saw things differently

to others.

Dr. Burgess wasn't interested. Be the spokesperson for your work.

Working in trials changed that.

His conclusion with the Menendez case

was that she could make people think differently about sexual trauma.

Change the way people I thought about the victims.

Ann, professor of psychiatric nursing at the University of Pennsylvania.

She realized that if she really wanted defend the victims,

she had to come out of the shadows.

In abused women We note that it depends on the type of violence.

Becoming a public person

and use that as a platform to take advantage of your work,

his voice and the voices of the victims.

I felt like I had a chance. to influence the system.

I felt that was very important.

No matter what I had to endure, it was worth it.

I decided to accept cases in which I felt that could make a difference.

I flew to Boston to meet with Dr. Burgess.

I didn't know much about her.

And at that moment, no one was listening.

No one wanted to know about America's dad.

Survivor and Defender

You couldn't take down Bill Cosby.

Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Cosby.

Dentists tell you Don't pick your teeth.

Then you sit in his chair.

Jell-O Pudding Pops are a hit in homemade car racing.

It is?

- Yeah. - Minor adjustments.

THE BILL COSBY SHOW

Bill Cosby has entertained millions while he inspired everyone.

Presentation of the Medal of Freedom

I had seen his television shows.

Everyone knew Bill Cosby.

I was nobody and he was someone.

People would believe him. Not to the victim of sexual assault.

Whether they believe you will really determine

how the survivor will ultimately heal.

I don't know if this is true. You don't know either.

It is difficult to decide if we give voice to accusations like this.

Cosby's lawyer said that the case was "nonsense",

and called her a scammer to his accuser, Andrea Constand.

The prosecutor decided not to charge to Mr. Cosby.

he doesn't find enough credible evidence.

Mr. Cosby wants to move on with his life

Of the victims who testify, only one or two percent will see justice.

The criminal case was denied.

So a civil case It was my only chance for justice.

All probabilities They were against me.

And that's how I met to Dr. Burgess.

Cases without evidence are very difficult.

He was glad they called me.

We did not have forensic rape evidence.

In that sense, it was just his word.

There was a lot of skepticism.

It was very important to get the details.

She had a job.

She was trying to get things out of my memory.

Explain in your own words what happened.

I was the Director of Operations Basketball at Temple University.

I knew who Bill Cosby was.

I knew it was a man very important on campus.

I had no reason to fear Bill Cosby.

After having a friendship with him for almost 18 months,

he invited me to his house to talk about a career change.

He told me: "You seem very stressed."

And I said, "Yes, I haven't slept much."

she rose from nothing, she excused herself to get up from the table,

she went down the stairs

and I had three blue pills in the hand.

And she said, "Take them. They'll help you calm down."

After half an hour,

I started watching two Bill Cosbys on the same table.

And he said: "Maybe you just need to lie down.

You just need to sleep."

Those are the last words I remember.

She didn't remember anything else.

This wasn't going to be easy.

We were missing many pieces.

So I thought: "Is there anything we can recover?"

That's the kind of questions you ask yourself.

and you try to make him remember what he can.

Even if you don't remember it, It doesn't mean it doesn't register.

You should move somewhere else. to understand memory

because it registers, you know?

Register even if you are unconscious.

The body keeps score.

I remember I fainted, I woke up.

I could feel that I had gotten off the closure of the pants.

she was totally paralyzed. I couldn't scream.

It was the most horrible thing in the world.

I had seen this technique used before, especially in children.

They gave them drugs because they could say:

"Well, you dreamed it. This didn't happen."

I did an analysis to document the trauma he had.

And back it up with some kind of scientific evidence.

ENGRAVE

What were you like before it happened? How often do you think about this?

Do you have anxiety? Are you irritable?

How do you sleep?

He thought, "I'll get over it,"

but then it got worse and worse.

she couldn't stay at work.

She had to return to her parents.

She broke up with her partner.

Chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

By then, she already had chronic PTSD.

By asking me 300 questions about how I sleep, eat, live, love,

I could understand what that night had done to me.

The fact that you heard me say what happened to me

and recognize that I survived a trauma He was very critical.

She believed me.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT FROM THE UNITED STATES

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA

Demanding against Accused

AND NOW, June 24, 2005…

In 2006, Bill Cosby paid him $3.4 million to Andrea to reach an agreement.

I don't think there is a financial amount that a person can receive

to improve everything automatically.

I was happy to move on. because I really wanted that

and I really wanted to leave it behind.

This case,

For me, it was a way to return to where we had started.

And we are talking about almost 30 years

since Lynda Holmstrom and I We started the study on rape.

When she started doing her work,

there was no culture of accountability to men

for his bad actions against women.

This girl is not the rape victim, but according to the judge,

her way of dressing illustrates another reason why boys rape girls.

There were many changes for women.

Rape Crisis Center, women at work.

women THEY RECOVER THE NIGHT

There was a cultural change.

But it wasn't enough.

DISARMAMENT TO THE RAPIST

Sometimes you think you haven't moved forward,

but that's why it's important keep fighting.

Time is over!

NEWS THIS MORNING

COMPLIMENTS ARE HARASSMENT - DOWN TRUMP ENOUGH OF INTOLERANCE

Dr. Burgess's work is part of what led to the Me Too movement.

IT I WILL COUNT

The story It doesn't revolve around Dr. Burgess,

but she is a big part of that story.

survivors march

I'm glad you could see some of the fruits of their labor.

WE ARE THE Uprising FEMINIST

This is what Dr. Burgess fought for. all this time.

The culture was ready to believe in the victims.

- Me too! - Me too!

- Me too. - Me too.

Women who had been traumatized and victimized years ago

They started to talk.

Happened to me too.

Me too.

It happened to me too.

Their stories flooded the networks

and they left an image how many people suffer sexual abuse

and harassment every day.

- No. - No.

The Me Too movement gave women the opportunity to have control,

to say: "We will not tolerate this.

WAR FOR RIGHTS OF THE WOMAN!

"DOGMA LIVES STRONG INSIDE YOU".

I was very proud of the women. for denouncing and demanding justice.

It was incredible.

And then, because of the Me Too movement,

There is one more part of the Cosby case.

A barrage of accusations from women

who they say they were sexually abused by Cosby.

I couldn't believe it. I had taken drugs.

I woke up in a bed with Mr. Cosby naked.

Mr. Cosby is accused of aggravated indecent assault.

When the Me Too thing happened, that was what it took.

Mr. Cosby, did you drug that woman?

I never thought she would have the chance to face my abuser in court.

Thirteen years later of an alleged sexual assault,

Andrea Constand walked into a full room to tell her story publicly.

she came in and testified wonderfully.

There was a verdict.

The comedian, now 80, He was found guilty of the charges.

It was a miracle

see the judicial system working for survivors.

The culture had changed a lot.

In 1970, I doubt we would get a conviction against Bill Cosby.

Andrea's case was very important

to identify a person high profile and deliver justice.

There are a handful of people

who played an important role in my "survival",

and Dr. Burgess is one of them.

CURRENTLY

I try to think how it all started.

I vividly remember that in the studio of the serial killer that used to be...

What mom has done is so useful that we would like her work to continue.

I think I would be more than happy If someone followed in her footsteps.

The first topics are the most prominent in their manifestos.

I am studying with my granddaughter the manifestos of the mass shooters.

Machine learning finds relationships between words, patterns and phrases.

We didn't have enough data.

She said, "Send me data." He likes that.

That could be interesting.

I think there is a parallel universe in some place

where to Dr. Burgess She was never invited to speak at the FBI,

and it's a scary world.

Profiling, victimology, behavioral psychology,

She had a formative role. in all these areas

and she changed the way the fbi It functioned as an organization.

While other people saw madness,

she saw from the beginning that there were patterns.

Once you kill another human being, you will never be the same again...

I fed on that fear.

It was a source of fuel for me.

I lived like a normal person.

She said: "We have important data."

The caregivers resolved family disagreements with:

Suddenly that becomes something to which we can make sense.

"Murderer Profiles"

There was no action plan and she created it.

We would like to see the cases that have been profiled to see if…

She had to overcome prejudice of the male agents.

But she would always have the last word on criminal conduct

because she knew more than anyone there.

The impact of victimization in the family and community.

Make things better for victims,

for the survivors in the legal system.

And he's spent his entire career breaking down barriers.

Simonis, without hesitation, pleaded guilty of all charges.

John Joubert was arrested tonight by the special force.

The FBI charges Brian Dugan, 28,

kidnapping and murder by Melissa Ackerman.

It's time for people to recognize

that there is no aspect of modern criminal psychology

that has not really been influenced for the work of Dr. Burgess.

And it's important for people to know that.

How many cases does she work on?

In many. Don't know.

Five? Ten?

More than a dozen. Yeah.

At 87, Dr. Burgess teaches a course at Boston University.

She'll give you an idea of ​​what we're trying to do. on campus from academic nursing.

She directs a study on indigenous women missing and murdered.

They murdered many native women and…

Many. Yeah.

We have a database of more than 3000 people.

Investigate unsolved cases that the authorities forgot.

It's something different because we listen to a real person

that he lost someone and that... It is an unsolved case.

And continue to guide the next generation.

And the data?

Because we have to talk about writing

or at least have the schematic for an article.

There is always work.

There is no time to celebrate. We have to continue.
