"Ex-FBI Agent Haunted by Encounter with Inhuman Serial Killer"

Former FBI agent Jana Monroe, who served in the Behavioral Sciences Unit and was the inspiration for Clarice Starling in "The Silence of the Lambs," recounts her chilling interaction with serial killer Edmund Kemper, known as "The Co-Ed Killer." Despite her extensive experience with criminals, Kemper's emotionless demeanor and unexpected phone call left her shaken. Monroe's memoir, "Hearts of Darkness," details her career and the psychological profiles of notorious serial killers, including her insights into Ted Bundy's refusal to meet with female investigators and her perspective on Aileen Wuornos's tragic background. Monroe's work also delves into the enigma of women who fall in love with serial killers, challenging common stereotypes and exploring the public's fascination with these criminals.
