Former FBI agent Jana Monroe helped Jodie Foster for “The Silence of the Lambs” — and writes about it in her new memoir “”Hearts of Darkness.”
Netanyahu tells Israel 'We are at war' after Hamas militants launch multi-front, unprecedented attackRetired FBI agent has written a new book, "Hearts of Darkness: Serial Killers, The Behavioral Science Unit and My Life as a Woman in the FBI.
Kemper, calling from prison in Vacaville, California, was willing to share his expertise. She agreed to hear him out, “on the theory that it takes one to know one,” Monroe writes. “In a way, that was inevitable,” Monroe writes. “Clarice was a fictional trainee at the BSU, and I was the sole woman in the unit, the only one who could walk Jodie through our peculiar world from a woman’s point of view.”But the real-life inspiration for Clarice isn’t all that different from what we saw on screen.
“I had seen enough dead bodies laid out on slabs with medical examiners probing them to know that both my stomach and my psyche could handle violent death and its aftermath,” Monroe writes.After a stint in Tampa, she returned to Virginia to join the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit, “one of the Bureau’s truly elite units,” she writes.
Monroe had a special talent for finding details in a crime scene that illuminated a killer’s personality—and possibly his motivation. Later, when practicing at the shooting range — Moore “had little or no experience with firearms,” Monroe writes — the actress allegedly became enraged while Monroe tried to snap a few photos to memorialize the event.
“You have to know, going in, that a hundred hungry male eyes are staring at you, all at the same time, boring holes in you, tearing your clothes off with their eyes,” Monroe writes of going into prison. “You have to expect hooting, whistling, lewd comments, all that, and you can’t expect the guards in most prisons to do a lot to help you.
