KEMPTON PARK SERIAL KILLER? How Police Decide If Cases Are Linked | Elmarie Myburgh
Profiler: True Crime AfricaPlay episode
Show notes
Are the Kempton Park killings linked — and how would investigators actually establish that?
Lt Col (Ret) Elmarie Myburgh brings around four decades of policing experience, including nearly three decades in investigative psychology and criminal profiling, to a detailed conversation with Paul Llewellyn about how suspected serial cases are actually investigated.
They unpack linkage analysis, modus operandi, victimology, geographical “comfort zones”, forensic evidence, DNA and the crucial difference between cases that appear similar and cases that can actually be proved to be connected.
Elmarie also explains why she worries that a major investigation can become “too top-heavy”, what her ideal investigative team would look like, how traditional media can help or hinder police, and what happens when social media produces an army of amateur “couch detectives”.
