Criminal profiler shares her best safety tip with women

A professor and former forensic nurse, 87-year-old Burgess has been the inspiration behind several fictional shows, such as Mindhunter and CBS’s current series Criminal Minds. Now, she is at the forefront of her own documentary, Hulu’s Mastermind:

To Think Like a Killer, which details her career.

In the late 1970s, she was called on by a then-male-dominated bureau as a consultant, and she interviewed and studied some of the country’s most notorious serial killers, including Ed Kemper (the “Co-Ed Killer”), Ted Bundy, and John B Simonis (the “Ski Mask Rapist”).

Golden boots shine bright for Kane on winning night

He wore golden boots. And he has won them too of course. Three as the Premier League's top scorer, one for outscoring everyone else in a World Cup. It was a fitting way to mark Harry Kane's century of caps, though. Not the most fitting: that came after the presentations. England 2-0 Finland was Kane 2-0 Finland, a golden night for the golden boots.

Kane scores twice as he celebrates his 100th cap

As much as this match rightfully became about Harry Kane, there was something else it resembled as Lee Carsley’s England fluidly worked the ball to the centurion for his 67th and 68th international goals.
