Vocês com certeza já viram o perfil geográfico em algum filme ou série, mas talvez não tenham se familiarizado com o termo em sim. Uma definição bem simples e objetiva está localizada no Capítulo 6 do Guia Mapping Crime: Principe and Pratice do pesquisador Keith Harries, feito para o Departamento de Justiça Americano: “o perfil geográfico é uma metodologia investigativa que utiliza a localização de uma série conectada de crimes para determinar a área mais provável em que um infrator vive”.

I would like you to stop thinking of the deaths of Louise Camirand, Manon Dube and Theresa Allore as connected cases. The basis for that argument was something suggested by criminologist, Kim Rossmo when he recommended - based on the geographic proximity of the crimes - that Quebec Police look at the cases together. It was supported by another criminologist who stated that it is "statistically improbable" that a serial killer didn't commit three similar murders in the space of 19 months in the Eastern Townships.

I do really appreciate you taking that time. Would you mind starting by telling our viewers your short definition of what geographic profiling is. Some people will not have heard of it – it is something you swim and bathe in daily, but for some people it's new. How would you just give them a quick explanation of what it is so they really get it?   Kim: Geographic profiling is a criminal investigative methodology that uses the locations of a connected series of crimes to determine the most probable area where the offender responsible for those crimes is based. So, let's say we have a serial arsonist or a serial robber or a rapist: We analyse the locations where those crimes have occurred, and then, using a specialised software system produce maps that show the most likely areas to find the offender. So you could think of it as an information management strategy or as a suspect prioritisation tool. It helps you find the needle in the haystack.

Please go back and listen to the first one if you are not familiar with the case because it gives a lot of background and everything that has happened up until the end of January, 2019. As of February 6th, Patterson was arraigned. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing and his next arraignment date is set for March 27th that is when he is expected to formally enter a plea. He has of course already confessed to the crimes, but we'll see if that sticks. ----more---- As he was leaving the courtroom, he smiled and nodded towards relatives telling them he loved them. Investigators are working right now on searching his vehicle for clues as well as examining his cell phone records, who we called, who he texted, which towers his phone pinged off of, et cetera. My guess is they're double checking that there aren't any people involved in this case in any way other than Patterson. Uh, it's, it's very clear that Patterson was obviously the main driver behind this crime. But when you have someone who is so adamant that they did this on their own, it's always a case where you have to double check everything before you just make an assumption that they're telling the truth. Investigators, profilers and researchers who have interviewed or studied killers that have multiple victims believe Patterson's case is unusual. He told the detectives that he carefully plotted these crimes, but he was impulsive and a lot of the actions he took in decisions he made. He had no relationship with the Closs family, but it wasn't completely random since he targeted her after seeing her get on a school bus. He spares Jayme and drives her away from the murder scene after murdering her parents. And that's usually not something that happens. And you wind up having the victim alive at the end of the case. I think that most people assumed she was probably dead. Um, and I think it may potentially come out that she has, dealt with some sexual violence. I would be nearly willing to bet a large sum of money I don't have on that. Greg McCrary, a former agent with the FBI, worked a lot with the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime and was one of the early criminal profilers - he says that Patterson's case, like his situation is outside of the norm. "He’s impulsive on one side but he is more ritualistic. When guys do this sort of thing, anybody who gets between them and their target is in peril,” he said. “That’s his desire, and he is willing to kill. This is someone with no guilt, no remorse, no empathy. He killed these people with the empathy of lighting a cigarette.” "(Multiple killers) are not that common, but this guy is even more uncommon, McCrary says, with his willingness to callously and unremorsefully (commit murder and kidnapping.) It’s pretty striking, going in with a shotgun and blasting away. He talks about being criminally sophisticated and his efforts at not being detected. He likes to brag about it, which is extremely pathological,” McCrary continued. “He thinks he’s smarter than anybody else. He was just getting off on this. He had this secret, which reinforces his feelings. He has a captive in the house and appears to lead a normal life. It’s the narcissism that often is their vulnerability, such as the confidence to go out and leave (Jayme) alone. He got overconfident in his ability to maintain this.” S,o part of how he did this was by following groups dedicated to true crime that we're talking about the case, uh, which is creepy. He loved watching TV coverage of the case and he also spent a lot of time googling terms, terms they found on his computer so far were things like “Jayme Closs, “Jayme Closs Suspect”, “Barron County”, “Jayme Gordon” [Gordon is where she was found], “Jayme Closs Gordon” and “Gordon”, “FBI” and “Kyle Jaenke-Annis”, which go listen to the first episode to hear why he's involved. Kim Rossmo is the director of the center for Geospatial Intelligence and investigation and the Department of Criminal Justice at Texas State University. He's also the former detective inspector in charge of the Vancouver Police Department's Geographic Profiling Section. The Post Crescent interviewed him about the case and he said, "I think one of the unusual aspects was the fact that he didn’t kill his victim within 24 hours. That’s pretty standard. Given his planning, it was unusual to go into the home (without knowing who was there). Maybe he couldn’t wait.” And I think that speaks to a lot of what we've heard so far. He went to the house several other times, but there were people home and he didn't want to go into a house necessarily full of many people and instead chose, you know, 1:00 AM midnight, when he knew no one else was there other than the family. Patterson's family is just as shocked as anyone that this happened. His father, Patrick, recently shared his thoughts: "My words can mean nothing after such a tragedy has taken place. I most definitely want Jayme's family to know, everyone to know, that our hearts are broken for their family. I'm very sorry for everything that has happened. These words come directly from my heart and my family's heart. I wish for a complete healing of Jayme's mind, heart and soul. I would like to thank the federal, local and state authorities for their professional and respectful way in which they have treated me and my family. I would also like to thank the media for the way in which they've been patient and understanding with this difficult matter. It has been a very difficult time for us." Earlier this week, Patterson reportedly sent a letter that Radar Online got ahold of the, like, scanned copy. I'll put a link to the show notes for that. It is difficult to read just from a logistical aspect. I Dunno. Scanned copies of letters with shitty handwriting are just difficult to read. In the letter, he really seems to think that he and Jayme just had our regular domestic relationship, which I think is an interesting counter to, on the outside, his very, his nature of being very braggadocious bragging a lot about the situation, about how smart he was. Um, this, this is just a quick sampling of two different parts of the letter. “My brother… got a puppy named ‘Vale’ a couple of weeks before [heart] Jayme [heart] ran away. I love Mexican food too, but I like lots of stuff. Chocolate and berries are probably my favorite. Me and Jayme cooked a bunch of stuff. Cooking is another thing I like doing a lot. It’s weird. I went from never committing a crime or really doing anything bad to doing the worst thing a human can do. Just one big f–k up ha ha.”. Oh, this was in a letter to a friend that got leaked. In the meantime, Jayme has been doing well. Um, I think as well as possible considering everything that has gone on. When it's warm enough - because we have had several cold spells - she has been playing outside, spending time with family and working on healing WCC0-AM reported that she also had a steak dinner on the third with her grandfather, which was the promise he had made to her while she was missing. That makes me wonder too with how obsessed Patterson was with watching footage and learning more about what the public knew about the crime, how much Jayme had heard. Had she known that her grandfather promised this steak while she was missing, or did she only learn about it when she escaped and you know, but probably it a day or two after was able to get in contact with more relatives? I have no idea. Jayme's parents worked at the Jennie O plant that's local. The company had donated $25,000 towards Jayme's reward, a match of the FBI's $25,000. Since Jayme escaped herself, Jennie-O is donating their portion of the money directly to her. The FBI hasn't said what they're doing with their portion but I highly doubt it will go to Jayme and I don't know that it should. Um, there are a lot of kids out there that are missing a lot of adults out there that are missing and potentially in danger and that money I think would be better served towards trying to help other kids. Jayme is currently living with an aunt and in a statement she and the Closs family expressed their deepest gratitude for the incredible gifts and generous donations that she's received from all around the world. "Jayme... appreciates each and every gift, as well as the many cards and letters. The many kind words have been a source of great comfort to her," the statement said. A Facebook fundraiser raised $51,000 for Jayme within days of her escape in January and a separate go fund me for Jayme and the family started by her cousin Angela De Andriano has raised an additional, uh, about $51,000 as of this past Wednesday. In an interview with Wpr, De Andriano said she's increased the Gofund me goals twice already at the request of donors. "Each time I get close to a goal I have just like an overload of messages coming in, 'This isn’t going to close is it? We would like to help.' And I’m like, 'OK, nope it doesn’t just close. You can go ahead and go on there and I’ll just keep adjusting it.'" She also said donations have been steady ever since news of Jayme's escape broke, but that there have been upticks whenever Jayme's story gets renewed attention in social media or news reports. "There’s a lot of people out there that want to help and that are really concerned and following along as these hearings begin, and I think that Jayme has a lot of support from all over the world," De Andriano said. She said another fundraiser established by the class family at sterling bank in Barron has been accepting donations in person and by mail ever since the crime happened. The branch manager has declined to say how much money has been donated, and I think that's probably a good thing. Lastly, an FBI special agent, Justin Tolomeo and a team of 250 FBI agents and personnel worked nearly around the clock to try to work to bring Jayme home. He said, "I'm still amazed by the bravery and resilience she displayed," he said. "We did everything we possibly could and I again, I said it, Jayme herself that gave us that break." Like I said, probably the next big step in the case is the March 27th arraignment date set for Patterson and we'll see what happens. I fully expect that since he confessed, he will consider pleading guilty. But I can also see his lawyers or he himself thinking they would be smug and trying to claim insanity. I do not think that that fits here. I do not think that it's okay to say that he is insane when he clearly knew what he was doing was wrong, didn't give a fuck, et cetera. I think there's a whole discussion about sainism and ableism that we could get into about how the general true crime community and people beyond view insanity and view a person's ability to do things though, um, with that label. I think so often we want to push off something that's evil as insane. And unfortunately when we do that, we're really shitting on everybody who actually has a mental illness and you know, is struggling versus the Ted Bundys and Jake Patterson's of the world. Um, I think it's important to remember that evil and, and sanity are not necessarily connected. Someone can be perfectly sane and be an incredibly evil asshole and that's really hard to stomach. And so I think that's something that we have to work on. People don't want to think that an average other person just like them could turn around and do something horrible without having some sort of a, a reason or without having lost their minds. And the reality is people do evil shit every single day. There are people who, everything they do is rooted in hatred and bigotry and harm. And if they're lucky, uh, they don't get caught or don't get punished for it for a long time. That usually just means that their actions tend to grow exponentially. We see it with serial killers, right? Some of the first steps they usually take are abusing animals and then they're not caught or they're not punished, and then they step up and step up and step up. We see that with, um, all sorts of other criminals to someone who works at a store and steals a pair of sunglasses and then, you know, ramp up to where they're stealing five Playstations to sell and then ramp up to where they're robbing banks. I mean, it's a very clear, it's very clear to me anyway, that there are steps that get us to a point where we're causing even more harm. And nowhere along that path is there a clear point where someone loses their sanity. Someone could go down that path perfectly sane the entire time and perfectly aware of everything they're doing. We see those even in politicians, right? People constantly say that 'Trump is mental. Trump is losing his mind. Or Trump never had a mind. He's got dementia.' What if he doesn't have anything and he's just an evil fucking asshole? That's probably more terrifying to people than blaming evil actions on a disability. Did you know even psychological associations will not allow people to armchair diagnose someone with a mental illness unless they've actually had, you know, evaluation time, which then it's not armchair diagnosing. So why is everybody else arm chair diagnosing people if even psychologists can't? What makes the average, uh, true crime afficianado the person who can tell who is or isn't sane? Something to think about. That's my little social justice diatribe for this episode and stay tuned for more updates. This probably won't get a big update until again, the arraignment date or, um, unless some big news happens between here and the end of March. Thanks for listening. Have a great day!

An Interview with criminologist Dr. Kim Rossmo, whose pioneer work lead to the creation of the field of geographic profiling. Rossmo joined the Vancouver Police Department as a civilian employee in 1978 and became a sworn officer in 1980. In 1987 he received a master's degree in criminology from Simon Fraser University and in 1995 became the first police officer in Canada to obtain a doctorate in criminology. His dissertation research resulted in a new criminal investigative methodology called geographic profiling. In 1995, he was promoted to detective inspector and founded a geographic profiling section within the Vancouver Police Department. In 1998, his analysis of cases of missing sex trade workers determined that a serial killer was at work, a conclusion ultimately vindicated by the arrest and conviction of Robert Pickton in 2002. A retired Vancouver police staff sergeant has claimed that animosity toward Rossmo delayed the arrest of Pickton, leaving him free to carry out additional murders. His analytic results were not accepted at the time and after a dispute with senior members of the department he left in 2001. His unsuccessful lawsuit against the Vancouver Police Board for wrongful dismissal exposed considerable apparent dysfunction within that department. After serving as director of research at the Police Foundation in Washington, DC, from 2001 to 2003, he moved to Texas State University where he currently holds the Endowed Chair in Criminology and is director of the Center for Geospatial Intelligence and Investigation. Since then, he has applied techniques of geographic profiling to counterterrorism, animal foraging, and epidemiology. He has also researched and published on the subject of criminal investigative failures. He has written three books. At the conclusion of this interview Kim very kindly wrote, "I just wanted to tell you that I have done a lot of interviews over the years and your questions today were really good. I could tell you put a lot of thought and planning into this."
