In this episode of lovelustfridays, hosts Jake Deptula and Michelle Locke sit down with retired FBI agent and profiler Julia Cowley, who reflects on her 22-year career investigating serial killings, sex offenses, and other violent crimes. Julia discusses the realities of working as an FBI profiler, sharing her insights into high-profile cases, including those involving intimate partner violence. They cover the heartbreaking case of Vashti Forrest, a mother of two killed in 2011 after filing for divorce from her abusive husband, Brett Seacat, a police officer. Julia sheds light on the warning signs of domestic violence, the psychology of offenders, and the emotional toll of such investigations. As the host of highly rated The Consult: Real FBI Profilers podcast, Julia offers an honest, in-depth look at the complexities of FBI profiling, debunking myths often portrayed in TV and film, and providing a deeper understanding of criminal investigations.
