Sometimes, the killers make crucial mistakes; other times, investigators get lucky. And the process of profiling, hunting, and apprehending these predators has changed radically over time, particularly in the field of criminal forensics, which has exploded in the last ten to 15 years. Laser ablation, video spectral analysis, cyber-sleuthing, and even DNA-based genetic genealogy are now crucial tools in solving murders, including the recent capture of the so-called Golden State Killer. This book in the new Profiles in Crime series tells the history of forensics through the \"capture stories\" of some of the most notorious serial killers, going back almost a century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe killers include: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRodney Alcala, a serial rapist and murderer sometimes called \"\u003ci\u003eDating Game\u003c\/i\u003e killer\" for his appearance on that TV show.
