After leaving Wyoming, #BrianLaundrie ’s immediate fear response was to: 1) distance himself from the scene 2) travel to a familiar area 3) go to a safe place 4) be in a controlled environment If alive, he will likely repeat these steps with his family home being the new scene.

Geographic Profiling 101 Why is it irrational for an offender to travel far distances to dispose of a body? Reason #1 : the further away you travel, the more time you have to account for. #GeographicProfiling

Geographic Profiling 101 When profiling a missing person, never assume they are dead or alive. You are using information to identify where the person, in any condition, is likely to be. Objectivity is key. #GeographicProfiling

Target was the last place Rachel went prior to arriving at the trail shortly before 7 pm. What she purchased is insignificant. However, the offender may have made first contact with Rachel inside Target or in the parking lot. He may have interacted with Rachel or overheard her

Geographic Profiling 101 Serial offenders are generally categorized as either a marauder or commuter in terms of their hunting behaviour. Another category is a ‘troller’; an offender which hunts in a very specific area for a certain victim type. #GeographicProfiling

Geographic Profiling 101 Always look for geographic indicators in an offender’s words & actions. These may be found in things like dialect, vocabulary, slang, finances, travel, postage, media, references, possessions, etc. #GeographicProfiling

Ivan Milat was convicted of 7 murders and undoubtedly responsible for many more. This doc focuses on Milat’s real and potential victims and tries to bring some level of resolution. Glad to be a part of this project! Part two next Sunday.

Definitely a homicide and likely someone from, or connected to, the same complex. Manner of death displays personal and sexual elements combined with hatred. This case needs to be reopened.

Geographic Profiling 101 When searching for a missing/lost person using a circular search pattern, add 5 km (3 miles) to the radius for every hour they have been missing. This distance will vary slightly depending on personal and geo/enviro factors. #GeographicProfiling

#GeographicProfiling 101 A detailed profile of a missing person is ideal to complete a geo profile. Our spatial behaviours don’t just factor in convenience, but also preference, cost, time, etc. Ex: a person will go out of their way to shop at one grocery store over another.
