Howard Teten: An FBI Visionary (Profile‪)‬

Since the 1990s, publications about the FBI's behavioral profiling methods have featured a handful of special agents who show how it's done, and most credit Howard Teten as the initiator. He has been called the "godfather of profiling" and described as "a handsome man with chiseled features that displayed a smiling, good-natured, almost meditative expression." Although Teten developed an undeniably unique approach to crime-scene processing, his own vision for this tool was different from the direction it has ultimately taken. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
