The Kalamazoo Cold Case team spent two years investigating Jeff Titus before he was finally arrested.

And for a time, their investigation almost seems to have stalled out.

Aside from the statements from Jeff Titus sold co-workers at the VA, the cold case team wasn't able to find much in the way of new evidence.

Then, in 2001, Detective Mike Workimaud decided to get the FBI involved.

We called up the behavioral science people on a chronicle, the FBI behavioral science people, work

them that did. And they agreed to look at the case. And we boxed up photos, you know, all the case

He'd been originally assigned to the Titus case, but was eventually removed after he concluded that Titus was not a viable suspect and that the investigation should go in a

different direction.

Despite this, Madison had been asked to join the cold case team when, a few months later,

the FBI's behavioral science unit let the cold case team know that they'd

And they called up and said, okay, come down and bring your prosecutor with you.

So Stu Fenton and all of us packed up and drove to Quantico and met with them one afternoon.

And it was a room full of PhDs.

You know, the guy in charge of polygraph for the FBI and these other PhD behavioral science,

you know, psychologist, psychiatrist, whatever.

The goal of the behavioral science unit is to provide support for criminal investigations through behavioral analysis

by classifying crimes based on offender behavior and developing psychological profiles of suspects.

It was a member of the Behavioral Science Unit, who, back in the 1970s, actually coined the term serial killer.

And for the Kalamazoo case, the behavioral science unit had been asked to look at the materials in Jeff Titus that were provided by the cold case team and determine whether he was responsible for the murders at the Fulton game area.

After bringing in the cold case team to talk about their investigation into Titus, the FBI officials at Quantico gave their verdict.
