Where is Dr. Ann Burgess now?
Dr. Ann Burgess, who was 87 years old at the time Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer premiered, is still a professor at Boston College, where she teaches courses in victimology, forensic science, forensic mental health, case studies in forensics, and forensic science lab.
She has two sons and two daughters with her husband, Allen. She also works with her granddaughter, Alex, who assists in collecting data on mass shooter manifestos. Along with her forensic science career, Burgess also has experience flying planes.
In an interview with Glamour in 2024, Burgess explained why she thinks people are so obsessed with true crime stories. “A couple of reasons,” she said. “First, they’re educational. I think women especially watch it to see what kinds of situations happen and can they identify it or not. Usually with victimization, people don’t want to identify with it, right? You don’t want to be a victim, yet these are situations that can happen to anyone, especially females. But we are seeing that more and more males have been exposed to this and not fully appreciated for what they have had to go through. So, women hear it and can learn from it.”
She continued, “But then, there is a fascination with the offender and a need to understand, Why does he do this? In some cases it’s misogynist thinking, which is kind of another lead of the myths that are out there about who gets targeted for an attack. I remember in the early days of lecturing, and to some degree today, that you have to go through the myths and where the misinformation is.”
