Sheffey, Happy Anderson, Zachary Scott Ross, Joseph CrossFBI-Agent Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) ist neuen Methoden aufgeschlossen. So beginnt er schließlich mit Psychologin Wendy (Anna Torv) und FBI-Agent Holden (Jonathan Groff) im Jahre 1979 mit der Befragung von verurteilten Serienkillern. Er will deren Vorgehensweisen analysieren und daraus Rückschlüsse auf das Verhalten solcher Mörder ziehen, mit denen er hofft, in bis dahin unaufgeklärte Mordfällen bei den Ermittlungen voran zu kommen – die Geburt des modernen „Profiling“.
Natürlich trifft die intensive Beschäftigung des Trios mit den psychisch Abnormalen nicht überall auf Gegenliebe
Mindhunter is based on the 1996 book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, by former special agent John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. For years, Douglas pursued some of the most notorious serial killers and rapists, developing profiling techniques to catch them. The book goes behind the scenes of some of his highest-profile cases, including the man who hunted prostitutes in Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer. To hone in his profiling methods Douglas interviewed and studied a skew of serial killers. Several book and TV characters have been based in part on him, including Jack Crawford in Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs, Will Graham on Hannibal and Jason Gideon on Criminal Minds.
