Violent. Provocative. Shocking. Call them what you will...but don't call them open and shut. Did Lizzie Borden murder her own father and stepmother? Was Jack the Ripper actually the Duke of Clarence? Who killed JonBenet Ramsey? America's foremost expert on criminal profiling and twenty-five-year FBI veteran John Douglas, along with author and filmmaker Mark Olshaker, explores those tantalizing questions and more in this mesmerizing work of detection. With uniquely gripping analysis, the authors reexamine and reinterpret the accepted facts, evidence, and victimology of the most notorious murder cases in the history of crime, including the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the Zodiac Killer, and the Whitechapel murders. Utilizing techniques developed by Douglas himself, they give detailed profiles and reveal chief suspects in pursuit of what really happened in each case. The Cases That Haunt Us not only offers convincing and controversial conclusions, it deconstructs the evidence and widely held beliefs surrounding each case and rebuilds them -- with fascinating, surprising, and haunting results.… (altro)

Some of the cases were interesting, but the sheer bombast of the author was really off-putting. Especially in light of recent studies that have shown profiling, and particularly homology (the idea that similar people will commit similar crimes), is unreliable and not an effective law enforcement tool.

Really enjoyed this, a new (if you can call a book from 2000 new) take on some old unsolved crimes. Unfortunately, this book doesn’t solve anything, just looks at the cases from a different angle. My issue is that I like closure, and I’m definitely not getting it here. But it was interesting to read a new take on some old stuff. (

Of course, since this book is a decade & more old, we have a much better understanding of a few of these cases. This whole book could be called, “Police: corrupt fuckups.” I have to agree. In all of these cases, the police are the buffoons or villains of the story. Some of John’s answers were a little far fetched, including a logical fallacy—if this other case has never been solved, why do you think this one should be. Total non-answer. Good book, if a little out of date. (

Completely engaging audio book on the crimes that haunt us as profiled by top FBI behavioral analyst John Douglas. (

There's no new information in this book - nothing that you haven't heard before - but it's still a very interesting read. I devoured it in two days and can't wait to read more by this duo. (
