The Behavioral Science and Behavioral Analysis units study, research, consult on, and investigate some of the world's most violent and bizarre offenders, including serial killers, hostage takers, and bombers. Gregory M. Vecchi, head of the Behavioral Science Unit, will explain how investigators solve cases by studying the offenders and their motivations. Mary Ellen O'Toole, a former FBI senior profiler, takes you into the mind of a serial killer and guides you through the process of solving a murder case. This lecture, co-sponsored by the Smithsonian Resident Associates, will be held Nov. 19 at 6:45 p.m. at the National Academy of Sciences building, 2100 C St., N.W. Tickets are required.
