Ep 148: Profiling the Menendez Murders with Professor Ann Burgess, Part 3

Laura interviews living legend Professor Ann Burgess who assessed Erik Menendez and was one of the expert witnesses called by the defense in the 1993 trial. Laura asks Ann about her pioneering work, how she became involved in the Menendez case and what she discovered when she interviewed Erik. Laura and Ann also discuss the timeline and in particular the days leading up to the murders as well as the crime scene behaviour. You will not want to miss this. Listener discretion is advised. Professor Burgess is an internationally recognized pioneer in the assessment and treatment of victims of trauma and abuse, and author of A Killer by Design: Murderers, Mindhunters, and My Quest to Decipher the Criminal Mind, Rape Investigation and Crime Classification. She has received numerous honours and awards for her work and her courtroom testimony has been described as “groundbreaking,” and she has been called a “nursing pathfinder.” Professor Burgess and Lynda Lytle Holmstrom conducted the first study of rape victims and trauma, and that work caught the attention of the FBI which is depicted in the Netflix show Mindhunter (Dr Wendy Carr). It would later inform Laura’s work at New Scotland Yard. #MenendezMurders #MenendezBrothers #CrimeAnalyst #TrueCrime #Podcast #TrueCrimePodcast #LyleMenendez #ErikMenendez #KittyMenendez #JoseMenendez #CoerciveControl #MaleViolence #Patriarchy Clips https://www.courttv.com/title/114-ca-v-menendez-erik-menendez-defense-closing-arguments-leslie-abramson/ Sources https://www.courttv.com/trials/ca-v-menendez-1993/ https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/cson/faculty-research/faculty-directory/ann-burgess.html Read Dr Ann Burgess’s Latest Book, A Killer By Design https://www.amazon.com/Killer-Design-Murderers-Mindhunters-Decipher/dp/0306924862 Sponsors Go to Microdose.com and use the code CRIMEANALYST to get free shipping and 30% off your first order.
