When the Hunter Became the Prey

What happens when the man who hunts monsters wakes up believing he's become one of their victims? In 1983, FBI agent John Douglas collapsed mid-case, his mind fracturing under the weight of too many crimes, too many killers. He awoke in a hospital convinced he was being tortured-naked, bound, violated-by the very predators he'd helped imprison. The voice of a nurse broke through: "Don't worry, John. We're doing everything we can." This wasn't just exhaustion. This was the cost of staring into the abyss until the abyss stared back. Douglas had to relearn how to walk, his memory compromised, his body emaciated. When FBI Director Webster called to check on him, Douglas confessed his fear that he might never shoot again. Webster's response was telling: "It's your brain we care about." That brain had revolutionized criminal investigation-transforming the hunt for serial killers from guesswork into science. Before Douglas, criminal profiling was dismissed as witchcraft. After him, it became one of law enforcement's most powerful weapons. His method rested on a chilling premise: "If you want to understand the artist, look at his artwork." In the case of serial killers, their artwork was murder.
