## Resource

True Crime Tuesday presents: Serial City: Detroit & The Hunt For Multiple Serial Predators with Former Police Chief/ Law Enforcement Commander/ Investigative Analyst/ Author, G. H. Cliff! At the turn of the twenty-first century, Detroit investigators faced a nightmare few police divisions ever encounter: multiple serial predators operating at the same time, in the same city, often targeting vulnerable victims in overlapping neighborhoods. To the public, the crimes appeared scattered. A schoolgirl attacked on her way to class. A woman assaulted before dawn. A victim deceived, coerced, or ambushed. A body discovered. Separate incidents. Separate headlines. Inside Detroit’s Major Crimes Division, a more disturbing picture began to form. As detectives compared reports, victim statements, timelines, geography, and behavior, the investigation became something far more difficult than a search for a single suspect. The city was not hunting one predator. It was hunting several! On today's TCT, Gerald Cliff, PhD. joins the show to talk about the formation of the Violent Crimes Task Force in response to a new form of crime arriving in Detroit and the surrounding area. Also, the unique agencies that came together to form a borderless agency that pursues criminals wherever they choose to flee. Gerry also gets into the contrast between the technology they had to bring down the five predators in this book versus the new technology on the scene now, and the benefits of moving into the future of crime fighting!
