Criminal profiling: the reality behind the myth. For 16 years, "mad bomber" George Metesky eluded New York City police.
Metesky planted more than 30 small bombs around the city between 1940 and 1956, hitting movie theaters, phone booths and other public areas.

Professor Ecker said information that was initially thought to be correct, but later retracted or corrected, often continued to influence memory and reasoning.
