Factual error: During their dinner conversation on March 1, 1975, McChesney told Ressler that an FBI recruiter came to her senior criminal justice seminar and told her, "Sorry, FBI doesn't hire female agents." Ressler responded "times are changing" and he wouldn't be surprised if one day she was at Quantico. But women were allowed to become FBI agents after Director J. Edgar Hoover's death in May 1972.

Trivia: Although FBI Agent Robert Ressler claims he coined the term "serial killer" (1972), he and John Douglas (together) are often credited. However, Ernst Gennat, Director of Berlin Criminal Police, used the term "serial killer" as early as 1930 in Germany.
