Jana Monroe, a former FBI special agent and one of the first women to serve in the Behavioral Science Unit, has provided insight into the workings of serial killer profiling. Monroe's 20-plus year career in the FBI involved working on numerous violent crime and homicide investigations. She contributed to identifying serial offenders by analyzing their behavior.

Monroe has been involved in high-profile cases such as Jeffrey Dahmer and the Rogers family killer. Her experiences are detailed in her book "Hearts of Darkness: Serial Killers, the Behavioral Science Unit, and My Life as a Woman in the FBI." The Hulu series "Furious" explores these themes, airing new episodes every Monday on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
