The Initiation: In February 1988, a record store clerk in Sandusky, Ohio, was fatally shot in his van. After discovering a night deposit bag with thousands of dollars in the vehicle, police knew that robbery was not the motive, and began to investigate other possibilities. FBI agents learned that several motorcycle gang members had been stopped nearby on a traffic violation shortly after the murder and theorized that the clerk’s murder may have been a botched hit carried out by a gang member. To locate the murderer, agents had to learn more about the secretive group.
Dark Woods: In June 1973, a young girl was abducted from a state park on the Missouri River while camping with her family. Several months passed with no leads, then an FBI agent took a particular interest in the case. Using a new technique known as criminal profiling, he predicted that the kidnapper would contact the girl’s family on the one-year anniversary of her abduction. When this prediction came true, the FBI agent noted behavioral clues, hoping that they could lead him to the kidnapper.
