The Anatomy of a Serial Killer: Psychology, Profiling, Prevention

This podcast series consisting of three parts delves into the development of serial killers and strategies to prevent them from re-offending. Hosted by Sheryl McCollum, an acclaimed crime scene investigator, each episode invites an expert guest to offer their insights into the psychological makeup, actions, and habits of serial criminals.

Zone 7’s latest episode features a conversation between Sheryl McCollum and Phil Chalmers, an experienced criminal profiler renowned for his interactions with some of the most infamous American murderers. Chalmers recounts his personal experiences sitting face to face with individuals like Charles Manson and David Berkowitz, alias Son of Sam.

McCollum and Chalmers join forces to look beyond the notorious names and understand the motives behind such heinous acts. Chalmers sheds light on the origins of violent tendencies, underscoring factors like growing up without a father figure, early-life trauma, and persistent harassment. Moreover, he dispels stereotypes about serial offenders, suggesting that contemporary culprits often diverge from the conventional image of a Caucasian male perpetrator.
