Exploring The Sewer And The Abyss in Crime /w Dr Lee Mellor Part 3 - What Is a Serial Killer's MO?

Could you identify a serial killer's typical method of operation? His or her tendencies? What the killer most likely fits into geographically, racially, and economically? What prior convictions he or she most likely had? Dr Lee Mellor can and that's one of the reasons he is so sought after when there's a serial killer or rapist on the loose.

What does it take to become one of the top few criminologists who specializes in necrophilia, cannibalism, serial rapes and killings, and other highly dangerous and pathological crimes? Dr. Lee Mellor describes his journey!

There are two aspects to a crime that every law enforcement officer must meet up with and face head-on - and that is the sewer and the abyss - as Dr. Mellor explains. The sewer they are more than accustomed to as they are forced to deal with it as a part of their job. It's the abyss that causes the issues and for many even PTSD.

The sewer is the disgusting part of crime and the dregs of society. The urine, blood, guts, decaying bodies, murder, and rape crime scenes, are the outward part of crime.

The abyss is the why. Why would someone stab another human being 60 times? Why would someone steal the last dollars of an elderly person's social security check? That's actually the more disturbing part of dealing with criminals because sometimes there is no why. That's just who they are, and for most of us, that's VERY hard to deal with.

Dr. Lee Mellor is an expert in the Why. He delves into the sadistic reasoning behind serial killings, rapes, and other abnormal crimes. And it's a sick and twisted world that he is tasked to make some sense out of, and more importantly, catch a perpetrator who is committing serial crimes and is still on the loose.

All Things Crime is a new, comprehensive video series that will explore every aspect of crime and the ensuing investigation, one video interview at a time. The host, Jared Bradley, is the President of M-Vac Systems, which is a wet-vacuum-based forensic DNA collection system and has experience traveling the world training all levels of law enforcement and crime lab DNA analysts in using the M-Vac to help solve the crime. Along the way he has met people from all walks of life and experience in investigating crimes, so is putting that knowledge to use in another way by sharing it in these videos.
