My experience meeting Karen and Georgia was AMAZING! Two very down-to-earth but crazy funny women who have no idea how famous they are. Loved every moment talking to them. Wished Karen would have flashed that wink at me though

If you’re drawn to a picture of man lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the kitchen floor, you’re either a serial killer, or destined for a future in criminalistics. Hopefully the latter.
Finally getting a chance to relax a bit and reflect on the events of the last two weeks. Completely blown away by the overwhelming Twitter responses - You guys are awesome! Working on figuring out the next phase of my career

Happy birthday, Alice. Welcome to 10. You are the funniest, most fascinating person I’ve ever met. Thank you

Aw, man. This dude just attacked me on Twitter and I joked back but then I looked at his timeline and he’s in a LOT of trouble health-wise. I’d be pissed off too. He’s been dealt some shitty cards — let’s deal him some good ones. Click and donate — just like I’m about to.
I guess the gig is up - they got me figured out. ....I'm just blown away by how inaccurate that article is. Wow
But are you sure that's not my bedroom? :)
Hi All - I'm being asked but can't comment about the DeAngelo arrest/search warrants. I helped write part of the arrest warrant and provided info for the search warrant. The docs so heavily redacted I fear I may say something that the judge has ruled not for public disclosure
There are more than 85,000 missing persons cases in the United States and

Yeah - I struggle with those a bit. Used to being very private.

#KemperOnKemper
tonight at 8/7c. It's all about serial killer Ed Kemper whose brutal murders made him the perfect case study for the FBI.
Whew! Slowly getting through the moving process. Still have many boxes to unpack and other things to do but should be back in the swing of things by early next week. Really appreciate everybody's well wishes about the move. It's been a PITA but will be worth it
Yes!!! Select cases will fall like dominoes. Others may take a while. Some just won't be cracked, even with this. But it is another tool to use and should give victims and victims families hope
The floodgates have been opened. This will be the biggest legacy of the

Amazing women all around! All great friends. They deserve all the triumph - either attacked by GSK personally or lost a loved one. My heart will always be with them.

I absolutely understand and will correct. Obviously in LE we use a variety of terms that are part of the vernacular and it is easy to slip into that. As time goes on, and more of my story is told, everybody will see how much of my life has been devoted to helping these women
@PaulHoles
I love the show, so so much! The only thing that bums me out is how often you guys use words like prostitute - here's an article that may educate you more on updated and more respectful terminology :)

Tremendous work by Fort Wayne PD! The details of the suspect's confession underscore the need to pursue all legal means to catch these types of monsters.

Gina Depaulo is a survivor of a brutal attack back in 1969. In 2006 she contacted me. Her book: Unopened Doors: The True Story of Surviving a Killer has just come out. Her book is about her life, her attack, how I helped her, and how she has overcome many obstacles since.
Been asked for more photos. Ha! I've taken and publicly posted a total of two selfies in my life. Still going to be a while to get use to it. Here's a 1995 photo of me rockin' a jumpsuit. Victim beat to death with her ten speed.

The surviving men in GSK's crimes were victims. I've talked to and met with a few. It's been a struggle for them since the attack. Then you have lives GSK stole like Jennifer's father. I've met with one of the male victims since the arrest-same reaction as the women - relief.

@AlayeniEQ
Don't sell yourself short. You're more than having a "smart mouth and two friends". I've seen too many lives cut short and the ramifications to know.
So important to understand the trauma that comes with these jobs. Death investigators CSIs, or homicide dets. Real life, real impact on the individuals having to work cases. True crime stories are interesting but working them has consequences.
I am in the process of getting a physical book out that obviously will have a lot more info in it. Many irons in the fire at the moment that is a good thing but also ...it's a lot going on. Enjoying every moment though!
