America's foremost expert on criminal profiling provides his uniquely gripping analysis of seven of the most notorious murder cases in the history of crime -- from the Whitechapel murders to JonBenet Ramsey -- often contradicting conventional wisdom and legal decisions. Jack the Ripper. Lizzie Borden. The Zodiac Killer. Certain homicide cases maintain an undeniable, almost mystical hold on the public imagination. They touch a nerve deep within us because of the personalities involved, their senseless depravity, the nagging doubts about whether justice was done, or because, in some instances, no suspect has ever been identified or caught. In The Cases That Haunt Us, twenty-five-year-FBI-veteran John Douglas, profiling pioneer and master of modern criminal investigative analysis, and author and filmmaker Mark Olshaker, the team behind the bestselling Mindhunter series, explore the tantalizing mysteries that both their legions of fans and law enforcement professionals ask about most. Among the questions they tackle: Was Jack the Ripper actually the Duke of Clarence, eldest grandson of Queen Victoria, or perhaps a practicing medical doctor? And did highly placed individuals within Scotland Yard have a good idea of the Ripper's identity, which they never revealed? Douglas and Olshaker create a detailed profile of the killer, and reveal their chief suspect. Was Lizzie Borden truly innocent of the murder of her father and stepmother as the Fall River, Massachusetts, jury decided, or was she the one who took the ax and delivered those infamous "whacks"? Through a minute-by-minute behavioral analysis of the crime, the authors come to a convincing conclusion. Did Bruno Richard Hauptmann single-handedly kidnap the baby son of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, the most famous couple in the world, or was he an innocent man caught up and ultimately executed in a relentless rush to judgment in the "crime of the century"? What kind of person could kill six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey on Christmas night in her own home? Douglas was called in on the case shortly after the horrifying murder, and his conclusions are hard-hitting and controversial. Why, in the face of the majority of public, media, and law enforcement opinion, including former FBI colleagues, does Douglas believe that John and Patricia Ramsey did not murder their daughter? And what is the forensic and behavioral evidence he brings to bear to make his claim? Taking a fresh and penetrating look at each case, the authors reexamine and reinterpret accepted facts and victimology using modern profiling and the techniques of criminal analysis developed by Douglas within the FBI. This book deconstructs the evidence and widely held beliefs surrounding each case and rebuilds them -- with fascinating and haunting results.

A lot of key details are highlighted in these summaries of notorious cases – details that might often have been lost to the reader in full-length books about each individual crime. The spot of blood on the OUTSIDE of an undergarment; the fact that a victim was only partially covered with a blanket; the fact of excess postage being used to mail letters to reporters or police – are all the kinds of details that often got lost in voluminous accounts – but that Douglas perceptively brings to the fore here.Perhaps his weakest chapter is his first one dealing with Jack the Ripper. Douglas advances what might be a bit of a contradiction when he says on the one hand that the Ripper had to be someone normal and controlled enough to walk about the Whitechapel area and to approach a few of his victims without arousing fear or suspicion – while on the other hand Douglas says that at least the last killings committed by the Ripper were indicative of someone acting in an insane frenzy.Douglas does present a run-down of some of the “usual suspects” in the Ripper murders, and rules many of the more famous ones out as being fancifully conjured dramatis personae by other authors. However, you won’t find any mention of Walter Sickert, the noted painter, included in this list. Patricia Cornwell positively advanced Sickert as the perpetrator in her 2002 book. But this book by Douglas was written in 2000.So Douglas also didn’t have access to the mitochondrial DNA analysis that Cornwall sponsored and that pointed to Sickert as having penned at least one of the letters claiming to be from “Jack.” While there’s been a lot of evidence undermining Cornwall’s case against Sickert as the actual murderer – the DNA results do suggest that Sickert, who was fascinated by the crimes, might have sent bogus letters as a way of involving himself vicariously with the sensational killings.Douglas does here repudiate the conclusions he came to regarding the identity of the Ripper on an old TV special hosted by Peter Ustinov. In this book, he quickly throws another candidate forward as the likely perpetrator – but in such a hit-and-run fashion that this chapter is unlikely to appeal to readers who have made a more extensive study of the Ripper.Most of the following chapters are more acute though. Douglas advances many telling details in the Lizzie Borden case. The only exception I take to his analysis of this crime is his complete dismissal of the solution that was offered in the 1975 film starring Elizabeth Montgomery. Douglas finds that solution improbable and actually almost unthinkable given the mores of the times. However, I found the Montgomery film to present an ingenious means of effecting the crime – and to be a generally brilliant must-see movie for anyone interested in “The Legend of Lizzie Borden.”Douglas is at his best in the last chapter involving the JonBenet Ramsey murder. Although he was briefly hired by the Ramsey parents to find exonerating evidence when so much of the public press was against them – Douglas seems to be impartial and his observations valid.In each chapter, Douglas suggests how the investigation of the case might have been better conducted, especially in its early phases. These suggestions are usually just common sense and probably won’t add much that the reader didn’t already know. But overall, this is a fascinating book by someone who has keen insights to offer into the criminal mind.
