Cop Killer: By April of 1995 in Washington, D.C., two officers had been shot and one had been murdered. Each had been sitting in their patrol cars when a man sneaked up and opened fire. The FBI was brought in to help catch the cop killer. Agents identified the man who was most likely the killer, but he was nowhere to be found. Months of surveillance operations around the country finally yielded a break; they found their suspect in Baltimore, MD. A task force assembled to make the arrest. Unfortunately, the killer was one step ahead. He found an unsuspecting agent and gunned him down as he sat in his vehicle waiting to make an arrest. A violent gun battle began. The assassin’s reign was ended with an FBI bullet.

.22 Caliber Killer: Racial tensions in Buffalo in 1980 were at an all-time high. Six black males had been brutally murdered–two had their hearts cut out. The only thing connecting the victims was their ethnicity and the fact that each had been shot with .22 caliber bullets. Residents screamed for the police to stop this serial killer. With no suspects, local investigators turned to the FBI. Profilers were able to produce a psychological composite of the type of person the killer would most likely be. Their analysis paid off. Using the profile, agents determined a seemingly unrelated event in Georgia was also the work of the .22 caliber killer. The profile matched the suspect on every point. It was enough to put the killer away for life.
