When a woman was murdered in her community, the Maryland mom became convinced that her boarder had the killer, although he was the boyfriend of a close friend.

Since then, Pat has pursued her instincts, earning a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice and becoming one of the nation's leading criminal profilers.
