What is How to Catch a Killer : Hunting and Capturing the World's Most Notorious Serial Killers about?

**There are two parts to every crime story: how they did it and why they got caught.****This book is about the second part, and how it changes the way we catch serial killers.** No two stories about the capture of a serial killer are the same. 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. **__The killers include:__**- Rodney Alcala, a serial rapist and murderer sometimes called "__Dating Game__ killer" for his appearance on that TV show. No one knows the exact number of his victims. - Takahiro Shiraishi, the suicide killer from Zama, Japan, who dismembered nine victim
