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”).
