Mindhunter is more focused on the facts of the cases.

It offers interesting insight into how the BSU learned to work backwards from the evidence to describe what the perpetrator was like. (Assaulting a victim from behind might indicate a killer has facial disfigurement or massive insecurity and struggles to interact face-to-face, a black person could operate in black neighborhoods with out raising suspicion like a white person would, and so on.)

The Riverman by Robert Keppel is my favorite of the 'tracking serial killers' genre. Ted Bundy is enlisted to help find another serial killer, The Riverman.


Bundy uses his 'expertise' to talk about what a killer like The Riverman might be thinking or doing. Bundy spoke in the third person about crimes like these so his interviews wouldn't damage his ongoing legal appeals.

The Riverman would be more like Season 2 of Mindhunter where the Atlanta case takes a long time to solve.

I also like Keppel's I Have Lived in the Monster: Inside the Minds of the World's Most Notorious Serial Killers

I also like that Keppel doesn't project the same ego as Douglas. Douglas is more lead singer, Keppel is more rhythm guitar.
