Recap of the show:

Profiler, Dr. Maurice Godwin, was hired early in the investigation to look into the multiple, unsolved, mysterious deaths of several women in Jeff Davis Parish Louisiana. Questions have arisen as to whether the deaths are the work of a lone killer or if there are multiple killers. This show concentrates on whittling down some of the theories and Dr. Godwin provides a brief background about criminal profiling. A “profile”….be it geographic or psychological, is an investigative tool. It is not intended as a method of solving a crime but as a “tool” to focus an investigation.

Psychological profiling is based on crime scene behaviors only. Generally, the public does not understand that what is done to a body, the location of the body and the interpretation of those behaviors (or lack of behaviors at the crime scene) “paint a picture” of the type of individual who is committing the crimes.
