Episode 536: David Meirhofer
The first time offender criminal profiling successfully led to the capture of a perpetrator dates back to the 1970s and a small town in Montana. Susie Jaeger and Sandy Dykman's cases were cold, until a profile of their killer helped lead police to a local man, David Meirhofer. Then, he ended up confessing, and authorities realized they had captured a serial killer.
