What profiles have you developed that were helpful/accurate and in what capacity did you work with these profiles in the US?
As already several times posted in this thread:
I profile SKs (and other offenders) in the sole capacity of a private person interested in the subject.
I develop profiles, post them here, on Yahoo and also on the website, my wife and me operate as in some private circles which are not connected to Websleuths.
I profiled in this non-capacity for example the Flint-Stabber as male, early 20s, middle-east-brown (to differ from Hispanic brown). As I wrote on Yahoo (I kept the profile because Yahoo-articles are not that long-enduring due to the number of news articles there):
- someone who grew up in a middle-east-country, probably Palestinian autonomy areas, Israel or Northern Jordanian area.
- a low organized offender
- looking for weak targets in which the weakness establishes the main trigger. So one has to look for someone, who worked in any kind of medical profession with old, weak or mentally challenged patients.
- he isn't a white supremacist, he also attacked white victims, what would be a contradiction to this motivation.
- if the hunt goes hotter, he will try and catch the next available plane home to the middle east.
- the trigger for a flight attempt could be set if police starts to interrogate colleagues at his work place or simply by reading this profile
And then I put it up on Yahoo. Twenty-four hours later, they caught him at the airport. While it's hard to prove, the profile was the trigger, it was at least accurate.
For Bernard Jackson I said, he was
- black (no surprise, his rape victims described him as African-American)
- worked once in a car shop or at a gas station in this area
- was known for extreme polite till downright submissive behavior against female white customers
- wasn't living in the same neighborhood as his victims
Well, that one sucked. They got him stalking his next victim. So while the profile was accurate, he was caught too fast for the profile to be helpful.
Want to discuss the other cases too?
Before I came to the US, I worked in the same non-capacity cases from Germany, France, Italy, Belgium and one from Poland. So, lets say, I'm interested?
