RELATED ARTICLES In Mindhunter season one, episode three, Tench and Ford attempt to interview Benjamin Franklin Miller while they visit Dr Wendy Carr in Boston, Massachusetts. However, they

were denied the opportunity to interview Miller after he refused to talk to them. One fan on Reddit suggested the denial represented the difficulties Tench and Ford faced when they were just

starting out. They wrote: “I'm starting to think it was a made-up killer to show a scene of Tench and Ford being denied an interview with a killer. Just another example of the

bureaucracy difficulties they encounter on their journey.” WHAT WERE THE ATLANTA CHILD MURDERS? Advertisement Mindhunter is streaming on Netflix now (Image: NETFLIX) Instead, they got the

chance to meet with coed killer Edmund Kemper, who provided an interesting insight into the mind of a serial killer. The information gained from Kemper allowed Tench and Ford to profile a

suspect who was responsible for the murder of an elderly woman. The profile led them to Dwight Taylor (Tobias Segal), a man in his 30s with an abusive mother, like Kemper, who later

confessed to the crime. But who is Benjamin Franklin Miller? The man they may have met instead of Kemper. WHO WAS WAYNE WILLIAMS? We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you've
