Jayson is joined by Julia Cowley, a retired FBI agent and Criminal Profiler. Julia spent 22 years in law enforcement investigating violent crime including 11 years as an agent and a decade more as a member of the famed Behavioral Analysis Unit or BAU. Julia makes no bones about the fact that true crime is what led her toward forensic science and law enforcement. Prior to joining the FBI, Julia was a special agent and forensic scientist with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. She has a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University Of Oregon and a master's degree in forensic science from George Washington University.

At the BAU, Julia was the lead profiler in the Golden State Killer case and has had other assignments in the FBI including investigating white-collar crime, public corruption and civil rights matters.

Today, we're going to look at Israel Keyes through the lens of an actual FBI profiler. This episode was inspired by 3 amazing episodes that Julia and her colleagues did on Israel Keyes where I learned a lot of things that frighten people about Keyes really just had to do with mundane elements of what his interests are and we'll also discuss what we should really be worried about.

Listen to part one and part two of the other episodes we had Julia on and check out her podcast, The Consult.
