BAU, short for Behavioral Analysis Unit, is a real-life department of FBI. It was founded in 1972 after the crimes of serial killer Ed Kemper: also known as "The co-Ed Killer", Kemper raised in an abusive family home at child, mistreated by his mother who feared that Ed would abuse of his sisters. Moved to his paternal grandparents' home in their ranch of North Fork, California, he turned in a young criminal when on August 27, 1964, at 15, he killed them with his grandfather's .22 caliber rifle, being sentenced to several years of prison where he was diagnosed as schizophrenic. On December 18, 1969, he was released to his mother's care after to convince doctors he was well. However, Kemper started to kill again around the vicinity of Santa Cruz County, California (where he lived), close to college student's residences. On May 5, 1972, he killed students Mary Ann Pesce and Anita Luchessa; on September 14 of this same year he killed to the 15-year-old Aiko Koo; on January 8, 1973, he killed Cindy Schall; and on February 5 he killed Rosalind Thorpe and Alice Lui. His crimes included cannibalism, dismemberment and necrophilia with the girls. Finally on April 21, 1973, Kemper killed his mother (target of his fury from the beginning) stabbing to death while she was sleeping, decapitating her and profaning her sexually several times. Feeling unsatisfied, he called her mother's best friend Sally Hallett, killing her and stealing her car for fleeing to Colorado. Kemper was not a suspect by these murders and he was only apprehended because he turned himself in to the authorities. Regularly he participated in interviews with law enforcement agents for psychological profiles, as FBI profilers Robert K. Ressler and John Douglas. Douglas described Kemper as "among the brightest" prison inmates he interviewed and capable of "rare insight for a violent criminal." Kemper confessed to the police that he killed more of 35 people. The brutality of his murders and the insanity committed on them (i.e.: necrophilia not only with the victims corpses but with the decapitated heads) told by him in the interviews after to be arrested were study subject by FBI and eventually contributed to improve the recently created BAU for making accurate profiles of the criminal minds.
