Today I’m joined by former FBI profiler Ray Carr, a man who spent decades on the front lines of criminal investigation. From dismantling organized crime networks to pursuing serial killers, Ray’s career offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how law enforcement understands and anticipates human behavior at its darkest edges.

We explore the realities of criminal profiling, what it is, what it isn’t, and how it’s evolved over time. We get into the psychology behind repeat offenders, the structure and influence of the mob, and one particularly gripping case: a serial bank robber who operated for over 30 years, hitting more than 50 banks while staying one step ahead of investigators.
