“I think he’s right behind me — watching me” June 13th 1985: Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess, a trailblazer mindhunter, sits across from an 8YO girl, trying to analyze her. 10 days prior, little Opal Horton barely escaped a kidnapping by a man who took her best friend Missy right in front of her. Now, Dr. Burgess’s job is to catch this man, to find Missy before it’s too late, but there’s one problem: Opal is not talking. Dr. Burgess will need to use everything her studies have taught her, from her nursing career, to teaching the FBI, to studying the most notorious serial killers, to eventually catch Opal’s monster. Unseen would like to sincerely thank Dr. Burgess for time to meet with us, share her insights on the case, and teach us about her groundbreaking work in mental health and forensics. Dr. Burgess has authored numerous publications, including her recent book “A Killer by Design” about her career revolutionizing treatment of the trauma and abuse, and criminal psychology: https://www.amazon.com/Killer-Design-Murderers-Mindhunters-Decipher/dp/0306924862 Credits: Written, edited & directed by Justin Chalifoux Researched by Manon Lafosse Produced by Alexandra Salois & Salim Sader Voiceover by William Akana A big thank you also to Jeremy Rothman Productions for the shoot.
