Top 10 Frightening Facts About Monte Rissell

The hit Netflix show Mindhunter is based on the memoirs of FBI special agent John E. Douglas, one of the pioneers of criminal profiling. Douglas joined the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit way back in 1977 and soon thereafter began meeting with infamous serial killers and serial rapists. In many ways, Douglas’s early career mirrored that of Robert Ressler, an FBI special agent who also served in the Behavioral Science Unit. Ressler is also the man who is often credited with creating the term “serial killer.”

In a strange twist, both Ressler and Douglas conducted extensive interviews with one Monte (some sources write “Montie”) Rissell. Rissell’s name is not as infamous as Gacy, Bundy, or Dahmer. However, Rissell, a serial rapist-turned-serial killer, provided both Ressler and Douglas with a fountain of information regarding the mindsets of serial offenders, especially sexual predators.

Between 1976 and 1977, Rissell terrorized the young women of Northern Virginia. Handsome and intelligent, Rissell fits the archetype of the truly dangerous hunter—a man dedicated to turning his fantasy world into reality.
