Jana Monroe, a former FBI agent and real-life inspiration for Clarice Starling in "The Silence of the Lambs," recounted her chilling interaction with serial killer Edmund Kemper, who unnervingly contacted her despite being in prison. Monroe, who has worked on over 850 homicide cases, shared insights into the minds of notorious killers like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer in her memoir "Hearts of Darkness." She also discussed the enigma of women who fall in love with serial killers, a phenomenon she believes warrants further study. Monroe's experiences highlight the complexity and often unexpected social adeptness of serial killers, challenging common misconceptions about their appearance and behavior.
