The Woman Who Helped Shape FBI Profiling: A Conversation with Dr. Ann Burgess

In this special interview episode of Terror Talk – True Crime • Serial Killers • Horror Movies, we sit down with one of the most influential figures in modern forensic psychology: Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess, trauma researcher, pioneer of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit, expert witness, and author of the new book Expert Witness.

This conversation is aimed at listeners who want more than true crime storytelling — they want psychological insight, behavioral science, and the real challenges behind criminal investigations.

If you’re a woman who loves true crime, forensic psychology, or the history of profiling, this episode was made for you.
