The horrific story of this real life vampire in the 1970s. With a little help from behavioral profiling, police captured the perpetrator and stopped him from committing future grotesque murders. What is most frightening is that such an obviously mentally unbalanced individual was unmonitored and untreated in the general public.

Highlights:

- Richard Trenton Chase, the horrific serial killer case in 1970s California.

- Robert Ressler’s book Whoever Fights Monsters, a segment on the Vampire of Sacramento case is read. The desperate search to find who was responsible.

- The so-called “organized” versus “disorganized” offender types. The disorganized concept might be the result of a perpetrator’s psychosis. How an understanding of mental illness helped in making a very accurate profile in this case.

- Profiling: How the type of income, relationships (or lack thereof), condition of his car, and even the perpetrator’s physical appearance were predicted with surprising precision.

- Ressler’s interest in such a case having occurred so recently, and the unique opportunity to go “on site” with a behavioral profile.

- The true credit profiling deserves in assisting a criminal investigation.

- An appeal written by Richard Trenton Chase: A paranoid and rambling document born of a psychotic mental state.

- Adding stimuli, in strategic ways, with the intent of catching a perpetrator.
