Meet Jana Monroe — former FBI profiler, Behavioral Science Unit pioneer, and the real-life inspiration behind Clarice Starling (Silence of the Lambs). Jana coached Jodie Foster on what a real agent would actually do, then went on to consult on 800+ homicide cases, profile some of America’s most notorious offenders, and work inside the machinery of high-stakes federal investigations.
In this interview we discuss:
• What Jana learned from interviewing killers like Ed Kemper
• Why she believes Bundy’s narrative doesn’t hold up
• The reality behind the “Clarice Starling” myth
• Her perspective on Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the aftermath
• What she saw in Timothy McVeigh (and why “mastermind” may be misleading)
• Why she believes ethics and integrity are in decline in modern America
