Services
In 75% of homicide investigations, I am useless to you. But in the 25% left, my involvement may be the difference between finding the lead you need to solve a case and frustration. In cases of serial murder or sex crime, I am indispensable.
I began formally consulting on cold cases in 2014. In one case, of sexual homicide in California, my analysis of criminal signature was a key contributor in preventing a wrongful prosecution. Several police investigators have also expressed to me that my guidance has helped them to resolve crimes they were investigating.
My areas of specialty include the analysis of crime scenes, 911 phone calls, communications from the offender, and offender psychology. When appropriate I can provide
linkage analysis
a profile of the offender
an assessment of the offenders m.o. and signature and how these may evolve or have already evolved across a series of crimes
recommendations for investigative/interviewing tactics and strategy
I also provide police training in analyzing crime scene and offender behaviour. It’s always an honour and a pleasure. To discuss rates, services, and other details, contact me (see bottom of page).
I am available to consult for, appear in, or conduct research for film, television, and web documentaries; podcasts; radio; and print interviews. However, the shine of appearing on television and radio wore off quite some time ago, so please know that I expect to be treated with respect and compensated for these services. If those terms are acceptable, feel free to contact me with the details (see bottom of page).
Sure, I’ll talk to your students about horrific things. Please contact me with details about remuneration, scheduling, and potential topics and I will get back to you.
