ABSTRACT
In Chapter 6, we described a single case consultation that fully tested the utility of these psycholinguistic tools in an investigation of an anonymous extortion threat that also involved the risk of mass destruction weapons use. We described tool use to respond to such investigative questions as: How many authors are we dealing with?; What are his likely personal and risk characteristics?; Should we communicate?; If so, who should communicate and what should they say?; and How should surveillance be handled in this obsessive and paranoid individual? We also provided guidance regarding the best arrest location given he was likely in possession of an impressive weapons cache, including ricin grenades.
