In 2017, Netflix aired its psychological crime thriller series Mindhunter. Based on the 1995 true crime book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, written by retired FBI agent John E Douglas and author Mark Olshaker, the series focuses on two FBI agents, along with a psychologist, who begin a research project on the psychology of killers in the 1970s. One of the most notable figures in the series is Edmund Kemper, a real-life serial slayer who cut short the lives of ten people over the course of almost a decade, during the 1960s and 1970s. Both in real life and on-screen, Kemper can seem both approachable and easy-going, and unnervingly intimidating. While Mindhunter helped to spotlight Kemper’s horrific crimes, he is well-known in the true crime community for the terror he caused - and his openness when speaking about his crimes.
In this documentary, we aim to explore the life and crimes of Edmund Kemper, better known as The Co-Ed Killer.
