Dr. David Keatley's Winthropping method adapts a counter-terrorism strategy to locate missing persons by analyzing offenders' psychological profiles. Following the case of Tom Luther, who alluded to making the location of his victim hard to discover, investigators shifted their approach by focusing on the killers' mindset. Rooted in the original military application from the 1970s aimed at predicting weapons cache locations, the methodology emphasizes the importance of understanding the offender's perspective to successfully determine where victims, trophies, or evidence may be hidden.
To find missing people associated with a known offender, you should start with the way the offender thinks.
Luther had acted not on what was likely but was unlikely, leading investigators to reconsider their approach.
