Welcome to "Mind Over Murder." In this episode, hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley interview legendary FBI profiler James R. Fitzgerald, author of three books, "A Journey to the Center of the Mind, Books 1, 2 and 3. " Fitz was the forensic linguist who cracked the Unabomber's manifesto, after he and his team urged the FBI and DOJ to approach the New York Times and Washington Post to print the manifesto in full in the hopes that someone would recognize his distinctive writing style. Much of this interview centers on Fitz' Book 3, available online and at your favorite bookseller. This is Part 2 of this interview.

Kathryn "Kate" Miles, bestselling author of "Trailed: One Woman's Quest to Solve the Shenadoah Murders" joins "Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley to discuss the recent FBI announcement that the 1996 murder of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans has been solved. With the news that deceased suspect Walter "Leo" Jackson, Sr. has been connected to the murder via DNA, why is the FB being so secretive about how the case was solved? Why are press conferences being scheduled with no notice? Why are so many questions going unanswered? Is the FBI covering up for mistakes as we have seen recently in the Colonial Parkway Murders? This Bonus Episode is Part 1 of 2 parts, and originally ran on July 1, 2024.
