In the consult, we discuss cases involving violence, sexual violence, abduction, and murder.

Sometimes the cases we discuss involve children.

because there's so many different avenues to look at when you have such a high risk victim.

So what we're going to try to do today is go

through the case with them, go through the victimology, and then we'll discuss our observations

and try to come up with a profile of the unknown offender. So before we get started,
