[Music] the enticing and multi-layered man that leads mine hunter played by Jonathan Groff is Holden Ford based on former FBI agent Johnny Douglas the author of mine hunter inside the FBI's elite special crime unit Douglas is one of the leading experts on serial killers in the United States who founded the criminal profiling program at the FBI's Behavioral Sciences unit in mine hunter Ford is guided by another men Bill 10th an ex-army FBI veteran this character is based off of robert k Ressler a former FBI agent who was also a prominent figure in the behavioral sciences unit like in mine hunter he was credited with being the man who coined the term serial killer these two men interviewed dozens of the world's most prolific serial killers that ever walked the earth learning from them and gaining insight into their psychology though mine hunter uses non true-to-life character names for these two men done so to clearly draw a line between what is fictional and what is factual the serial killers featured in the show were and are very much real people the most prominent killer that defines the first season of mine hunter is the co-ed killer aka Edie Kemper the 6 foot 9 250 pound camper is brilliantly played in the show by Cameron Britton seeing the two side-by-side the Canberra we know from mine hunter is extremely close to the real men in fact there are numerous direct quotes coming from an imprisoned interview with the killer featured in the show I knew a week before she died was gonna kill I knew a week before she died I was gonna kill her she was going out to a party she got south coast she came home alone I was woken up by that I got came out you know that night I walked up to her bed she's laying reading okay Trebek there's many because now thousands of nights before 4:00 she says boys suppose you're gonna want to wait on a set of all night talk now campers life of killing began at an extremely young age of just 15 years old at the time he lived with his grandparents and on August 27th of 1974 after his grandfather had left to get groceries Kemper got into an argument with his grandmother and ultimately wound up shooting her to quote see what it felt like he then waited for his grandfather to come back home when he saw his grandfather coming he quickly went outside to meet him in the driveway and shot him as well later claiming that he had killed his grandfather only so that he wouldn't have to see that his wife had been murdered he then called police and was placed into a mental hospital nonetheless he had found a taste for murder six years later he convinced authorities that he was fit to leave and was let out at 21 though as he claims in the show he was still a disturbed young man he lived a secluded life with his mother who constantly put him down this in part led camper down a dark path from May of 1972 to April of 1973 Kemper murdered a high school student and five coeds over the course of just a year often simply in spite of his mother and over time he would go on to plan killing her as well on April 20th of 1973 after waiting for her to fall asleep he gruesomely murdered and mutilated her he then called her best friend to come over and killed her as well this will be the finale to his murderous spree he wound up calling police and admitted to being the co-ed killer the real-life Ford John Douglas has claimed that Kemper was among the brightest people he had ever interviewed today he is nearly 70 years old and is considered to be a model prisoner Kemper's most recent parole hearing was actually this year but interestingly since 1985 he has actually turned down every potential parole he claiming that he is unfit for society [Music] though mine hunter features primarily serial killers we are also introduced to a man named Richard Speck in episode 9 he is the epitome of someone who simply doesn't care about a thing in the show we see speck as he clearly disturbed and deranged monster in one of the most memorable scenes of the show Ford attempting a new tactic lowers himself to specks level ultimately putting his career in jeopardy while not a serial killer based on his convictions the real Richard Speck is infamous for his horrific killings committed in just one night however it is speculated that he may have been killing for years in Indiana and Michigan for murders at at times he was even a suspect of but simply was always able to find a way out of on July 13th of 1966 he broke into the home of nine student nurses of the South Chicago Community Hospital though he had committed violent acts before this night was unimaginably gruesome he tied them up forced them all into separate rooms and then individually entered the rooms torturing them raping them and killing them he committed a shocking eight murders that night however you may remember that there had been nine nurses to begin with he seemingly had lost count as one sole woman was able to hide under a bed until he left unharmed she was able to escape to tell her stories and the horrific night made headlines around the world she was also able to remember one very distinct thing about speck he had a tattoo on his left arm that read born to raise hell this is mentioned in the show when Ford seeing an opportunity to get spec to open up claims to be a fan of his and wanted to see his infamous tattoo speck was arrested and convicted of the torture rape and murder on eight accounts he would go on to spend 25 years behind bars before dying of a heart attack in 1991 these tapes released after he had died showed him in this unusual altercation displaying the illegal activities that went on behind it caused outrage that a man like him was able to lead the life he wanted while paying for his crimes [Music] as the show goes on we begin to see the same ADT security services men from Wichita Kansas in these short snippet intros it has never fully explained who he is or what his correlation to the show really is we do get the sense that he is a future killer and one that is progressing on his urges slowly getting more confident though he hasn't killed anyone yet again it is safe to assume that he will become a future serial killer and an emphasis on this character leads me to believe that he will become a major part of the show in future seasons this mysterious man is actually Dennis Rader ak8 the BTK killer Dennis Rader was an Air Force vet and the president of his church board however despite seemingly being as average as they come he was secretly a very troubled man he killed a total of eight women and two men in Kansas he would break into his victims homes and act as if he was at his own home waiting for his victims to arrive when they would come home he would tie them up torture them and eventually murder them most chillingly though is that he would often put on this mask where his victims clothing and then posed as his victims while taking pictures of himself tied up re-enacting their deaths he became one of the most popular and prolific serial killers in American history he was extremely elusive and grew so confident in his killing that he began sending letters drawing photos and even once sent a doll to law enforcement taunting them and signing off as BTK the name is one that he gave himself an abbreviation for bind torture kill the final scene from the first season of mine hunter is given to the BTK killer indicating that we will likely see a lot more of him in season two however it could take multiple seasons before he has ever captured if he is ever captured at all the show is still in the 1970s and the BTK killer was not captured in two 2005 the interviews of the various serial killers shown in mine hunter actually played a large role in the FBI finally tracking down Rader in real today Dennis Rader is in the 70s and the serving 10 consecutive life sentences Oh a lot of shots but still that was something it is not an easy thing to breaking human-beings jaw let me assure you that takes practice in Episode seven and eight we are introduced to a new prisoner by the name of Jerome brudos we are quickly shown that he is clearly a very dominant and frightening person the character in the show played by happy Anderson is quite close to who the real brudos was brudos like many serial killers grew up with a hatred towards his mother who had often belittle him abuse him and tell him that she had wished he was a girl this led to an extreme hatred towards woman in general he necrophile with a shoe fetish Brutus was just 17 when he first abducted and beat a young woman named Linda Slauson he was subsequently placed into a psychiatric ward in Oregon State Hospital for nearly a year after this he went on to live a seemingly normal life getting married to Ralph Fein brudos and having two children he was living a double life during the day he was a married father of two but during the night he was strangling and killing young women for sexual gratification for years his chain of murders began in 1968 killing anywhere from four to seven women during the late 60s in Oregon as authorities were looking for this deranged killer the press labeled him the lust killer and also the shoe fetish Slayer disturbingly he would dress up as a woman when he was abducting killing and mutilating his victims seemingly because this is what his mom had always wanted him to be horrific ly he would often keep body parts of his victims as a trophy police finally caught up with brudos in 1969 and after a series of tests and interviews he was deemed to not be criminally insane what was learned from Bruce's interviews would become incredibly important to the research of the FBI during the late 1970s he gave an insight into the criminals mind that was unique to many others in 2006 after 37 years behind bars brudos died of liver cancer yeah I've gone a lot of places and done a lot of things I'm assuming that I never heard anybody because I never got any complaints from anybody Virginia State Penitentiary Monte Ralph Rizal in Episode four we see for an intense way ting to speak to a man introduced to us as monte whistle though he agrees to speak to them it is clear that he isn't interested in being compliant this student is seemingly uninterested and even agitated behavior throughout the interview it also becomes clear that not all serial killers will be as interested in talking to cops as Kemper is the real monty whistle is one of the lesser known serial killers he had a tough childhood and had a resentment for his mother who had left his father at a very young age at just 12 years old the angry young man had already committed his first burglary only two years later he was arrested for stealing a car and raping his neighbor at knifepoint this ultimately led to wrestle spending large amounts of time in institutions however he was able to convince counselors that he was making progress all the while committing horrible crimes while on shore leave after receiving a letter from his girlfriend breaking up with them he drove to her College to spy on her and saw that she had a new boyfriend this sent him over the edge with an extreme hatred for women sitting in his car late that night a car pulled into the same parking lot driven by a single woman in the spur of the moment he attacked her at gunpoint forced her to drive to a secluded area near a river and rapes her however by chance she happened to be a prostitute and though she was likely scared according to Rizal she wasn't afraid to have sex with him and actually asked him how he liked it this drove him mad he says it was like she was trying to control the situation she also had pretended to enjoy it further enforcing his feelings that all women were whores after attempting to escape he began to choke her smashed her head against a rock and held her underwater killing her he went on to kill four more women and raped at least 12 all by the age of just nineteen again all the while convincing his counselors that he was actually progressing in 1977 he was incarcerated and is serving multiple life sentences today all this stuff on my mind and it just seemed like something snapped at me I mean she was just unfortunate that I was there and she came home [Music] you [Music]

The casting is phenomenal in this show. Finding an actor who looks like the person and has the acting chops to pull of a their persona can’t be an easy task
