Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer with Dr. Debra Warner

Step inside the world of forensic psychology with Dr. Debra Warner, one of the nation’s leading experts on criminal behavior, trauma, and offender profiling. Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer offers a rare, structured, and accessible look at how professionals analyze violent offenders — what drives them, how patterns form, and what the science actually reveals about motive, impulse, and decision-making. Designed for general audiences, this live lecture cuts through myth and media distortion to present a clear, research-based exploration of the criminal mind. Dr. Warner draws on real cases, clinical experience, and decades of study to illuminate how investigators and psychologists identify behavioral red flags, understand offender pathways, and assess risk. The presentation includes a small number of graphic case-related images used strictly for educational and clinical context. A trigger warning will be given in advance, and attendees will have the opportunity to step out during those brief sections if they prefer. Whether you’re fascinated by psychology, criminology, or the mechanics of human behavior, this event offers a compelling, thought-provoking evening inside the world of forensic analysis — delivered with clarity, depth, and respect for the subject matter. Recommended for ages 14 and up. This program contains graphic descriptions of real criminal cases and may be disturbing or unsuitable for younger audiences.
