![Pest Exterminator Convicted For Killing Elderly Woman [LPC Clinical Analysis]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5QahAU5rjg/mqdefault.jpg "Pest Exterminator Convicted For Killing Elderly Woman [LPC Clinical Analysis]
A convicted killer. A cold case buried for 34 years. And a psychological profile that raises more questions than it answers. In this clinical breakdown, licensed professional counselor John Cordray examines the 1980 murder of 73-year-old Mildred McKinney — a crime that went unsolved until DNA technology finally caught up with the man who knew exactly how to get inside her home. What drove someone trusted into her house to return as a predator? The behavioral patterns, warning signs, and psychological threads may surprise you.
All analysis is speculative, based on publicly reported information. Nothing discussed constitutes a formal diagnosis.
