"I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your class. I've been in law enforcement for 27 years and taught criminal justice for 4 years in high school. I've been a crime scene investigator, SWAT officer, undercover narcotics officer and sex crimes detective. I also teach several classes at the Fort Worth Police academy. I just wanted you to know that I learned so much that I did not know at your class. You have a great presentation style that makes learning easier."
Charlie Lewis - Fort Worth Police Department

  Vulture explores the minds and crimes of sadistic serial predators. After examining her own cases, studying dozens of solved cases, researching the killers' lives, and interviewing the killers, Dr. Schurman-Kauflin created new profiles of sadistic killers. Vulture provides a comprehensive, fascinating new look into the minds and crimes of sadists.

The book includes Dr. Schurman-Kauflin's analysis of the BTK serial killer, a profile which BTK renamed "Hits" and sent to police prior to his capture. 

In chilling detail, Dr. Schurman-Kauflin takes you through sadistic crimes around the world. Gruesome and horrifying cases are analyzed. The profiling process and the mindsets of these killers are presented. Finally, from the mouths of the killers come the most frightening thoughts and details.



Book Reviews
"Dr. Schurman-Kauflin’s new book VULTURE is a comprehensive and meticulous treatise prepared by an experienced criminal profiler.  In my opinion, Deborah paid her dues in time and effort as she attempted to gain the expertise that she now shares with her readers.  The book begins with an overview of criminal profiling and then introduces the reader to the definitive term “VULTURE” and how this concept can be applied to the sadistic serial killers the author portrays within the book.  Dr. Schurman-Kauflin presents five specific typologies of killers within the book and then provides the reader with definition “keys” and tables listing their particular traits.

I have known Deborah for many years and have encouraged and supported her individual efforts to attain professional credibility within this field. This book will certainly compliment her first work, The New Predator, in which Deborah detailed the first ever in-depth interviews and profiles of female serial killers."
Cmdr. Vernon J. Geberth, M.S, M.P.S.
Author of Practical Homicide Investigation

"This book is an excellent source for Law Enforcement.  Dr. Schurman-Kauflin gives insight into the minds of the VULTURES of the world.  She sums up the research in the area of serial killers, and gives Law Enforcement the tools to begin profiling their own cases."
Officer Matthew Snyder
Larimer County Sheriff's Office, Colorado

"The facts and information in 'Vulture' reflect Dr. Schurman-Kauflin's years of research and painstaking attention to detail. Her determination and drive is in every page".
Detective Tim Ashley
Criminal Investigations Division
Lawrencville Police Departemnt, Georgia
