But it's more of us making the point that forensic profiling of a killer or any criminal just can't be the only evidence used to charge someone with a crime.

It feels like, right, with Keith Pedder, he's under all this pressure to solve the Rachel Nickell case.

He doesn't have anything to go on.

So he's like, right, I'm going to be this guy that cracks this case with this brand new... Because, you know, at this point, forensic profiling is still sort of in its early days, in its infancy.

And it feels like he was just like, I'll be the one to crack this case and I'll do it with this forensic psychologist, with this profiler.

And then people will write books about me and I'll be fucking... I'll be the jigsaw man.

I'll be the jigsaw man.

He has to write his own book.

Exactly.

It's just so problematic.

The good thing is, while we are railing against Paul Britton and Keith Pedder, we do have to say that it is very rare that a forensic psychological profile of a killer is the only evidence used to pursue somebody.

Because it's dangerous and stupid and illogical and it makes no fucking sense.

So in 2008, the Met formally apologised to Colin Stack.

2008!

They ruined this man's life.

The fact that they came out and gave a public statement after the hearing and said, well, we're not looking for anybody else in connection with this crime, just put a target on Colin Stagg's back.

There was no humility in that.

No, like, taking anything away from what the judge had said to them.

They're just like, no, it was him.

We just can't prove it.
