The Workflow

• Start from limited information on an unknown subject
• Analyze actions, decisions and context
• Develop a behavioral hypothesis profile
• Hand investigators insights to guide the case

Information Sources

• Pull crime scene evidence and forensic results
• Read investigative reports and witness statements
• Mine open source intelligence
• Study interviews and interrogations

Crime Scene Behavior

• Read actions, staging, and signatures
• Assess victim interaction and body disposal
• Note planning, methods, and tools used
• Separate signature from modus operandi

Psychological Read

• Infer personality traits and motivations
• Identify stressors and mental state indicators
• Map demographics, education, and life events
• Flag military service or occupation clues

Communication

• Examine language, tone, and threats
• Analyze letters, calls, and online behavior
• Track escalation and patterning over time
• Note what stays consistent across incidents

Geographic Behavior

• Map crime locations and travel patterns
• Gauge familiarity with the area
• Find where the subject feels comfortable
• Find where the subject is most vulnerable

Victimology

• Study victim selection and vulnerability
• Map the subject-victim relationship
• Infer access and opportunity
• Connect victim choice to motivation

Core Questions

• Ask what motivates this behavior
• Ask how the subject thinks
• Assess the subject's capabilities
• Deliver ranges, not certainty
