Book Preview:

#1 I received a call from Ron Walker, a member of my team, who told me that we had been assigned a kidnapping case from Columbia, South Carolina. The police had no leads or evidence, and they wanted our help.

#2 The family was eventually contacted by a phone caller who demanded a ransom, but the sheriff’s office was convinced it was a hoax. There was only one call over the weekend demanding a ransom, but the sheriff’s office was convinced it was a hoax.

#3 The FBI had never lost a ransom package. The outcome is usually much darker when dealing with a sexually motivated kidnapping. In those cases, the offender's sadistic drive for power and complete control over his victim is the reason for the crime.

#4 I had been the Bureau’s first full-time profiler, and for several years I was the only one. The workload became overwhelming, and I pleaded with the assistant FBI director in charge of the Academy to provide me with more full-time help.
