The Mind Of A Murder – What Makes A Killer?

In our previous episode of the True Crime Reporter® podcast, we presented the murder case of Annie Laurie Williams.  Williams bludgeoned her 8 and 9-year-old sons to death and then dispassionately dismembered their bodies to dispose of them. Her acts are unthinkable. Robert Riggs and Bill Johnston contacted forensic psychiatrist Dr. Richard Taylor in the United Kingdom to gain perspective and understanding of such a crime. Dr. Taylor is the author of The Mind of a Murderer. He has worked on more than 100 murder cases. He explores the subject of Women Who Kill Children in his book. Dr. Taylor also works with a special unit called the Fixated Threat Assessment Center (FTAC), which investigates threats to the royal family and politicians. You can find a link to more information about the FTAC on our website. Murder is not just a crime; it is a significant public health problem.  In 2017 alone, there were close to a half-million recorded victims of homicide around the globe.
