Two days before her high school graduation, Shari Smith was abducted from the driveway of her home in South Carolina. Horrifically, her abductor made repeated phone calls to her family (we have audio clips of these calls)—taunting her mother and sister. The abduction rocked the small town, triggering a massive manhunt and brought in the FBI, which enlisted famed criminal profiler John Douglas, who would go on to later be the inspiration for the hit Netflix show Mindhunter.
In WHEN A KILLER CALLS Douglas recounts one of the most haunting investigations of his storied career. Douglas has come face to face with some of the most terrifying and notorious killers in America: Charles Manson, “Son of Sam Killer” David Berkowitz and “BTK Strangler” Dennis Rader—but this case has haunted him to this day. Now, for the first time, he shares how he caught a sadist child murderer before he was able to kill again.
