In this episode, with talk with FBI Profiler Julia Cowley in the second part of two episodes about the life of criminal profilers. In this episode, we discuss Julia's work on high-profile and little-known cases, including how a profile helped a Oklahoma investigator solve the murders of 11-year-old Skyla Whitaker and 13-year-old Taylor Placker by a stranger, Kevin Sweat, on a rural dirt road. We also discuss serial killer and terrorism cases, understanding the minds of those who haunt so many of us and specific cases in the news like the 1996 death of JonBenét Ramsey, the murders of Abigail Williams and Libby German in Delphi Indiana and the 2022 University of Idaho Murders. Julia makes no bones about the fact that true crime is what led her toward forensic science law enforcement.

Jayson is joined by Julia Cowley, a retired FBI agent and Criminal Profiler.
