Published: April 9, 2016, 4 p.m.

Retired agent Gerry Downes worked in the FBI's Child Abduction and Serial Killer Unit (now known as the BAU) for 11 years. He reviews the time he traveled with several team members to Accra, Ghana, in May 2001 to assist in the identification of a serial killer responsible for the horrific murders of more than 30 women. During the two weeks the Gerry and the FBI team were in Ghana, a suspect was arrested. The suspect confessed to committing several of the murders. While in the country, the FBI team also trained Ghanaian police investigators in evidence collection and interrogations techniques. Gerry also mentions that when he returned to Ghana several years later, he was very impressed with the advances made.\xa0
