January 12th: John Joubert Arrested(1984) If you are anything like me, the idea of criminal profiling helping to solve a case is nothing but incredibly exciting. On January 12th 1984 a man was arrested for 2 crimes that would, ultimately, send him to the execution chamber. A man who, had it not been for criminal profiling and a chance meeting in Quantico, could have gotten away without any connections to his other crimes.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joubert_(serial_killer), https://murderpedia.org/male.J/j1/joubert-john.htm, https://www.talkmurderwithme.com/blog/2020/8/25/john-joubert, https://www.kcra.com/article/dispatches-from-the-middle-john-joubert-boy-scout-serial-killer/31403368, https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/a-13-year-olds-dead-body-turns-up Learn more about your ad choices.
