WATCH: https://youtu.be/TqTzxspV5Z0 FBI Files Episode 31 - 22 Caliber Killer In this episode, a series of racially motivated attacks in western New York and New York City is examined through the work of detectives, forensic experts, and FBI profilers. When African-American men begin to be shot without warning in Buffalo in 1980, investigators find almost no physical evidence apart from spent .22 caliber shell casings. As fear and anger rise in the community and the media labels the unknown assailant the “.22 caliber killer,” local police call in the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit to build a psychological profile and help distinguish between potentially connected cases, including the later murders of two taxi drivers under particularly disturbing circumstances. The documentary follows how ballistics, crime scene analysis, and behavioral profiling gradually narrow the search, while parallel investigations in New York City confront a similar pattern of sudden, blitz-style attacks on Black men, this time with a knife. As pressure mounts, a breakthrough comes from an unexpected source: the U.S. Army, where a young private, Joseph Christopher, makes statements that link him to the killings. The episode traces how investigators connect his background, weapons access, and gun collection to the evidence from multiple crime scenes, and how witness identifications and forensic matches lead to his arrest and trial. Through interviews with law enforcement, legal officials, and those close to the case, the film explores the impact of these crimes on the community, the emerging use of offender profiling, and the legal process that ultimately results in Christopher’s conviction and life sentence, ensuring he would never have the opportunity to harm again. #KillerCrime #FullFreeMovies #TrueCrimeDocumentary #FBIProfiling #TrueCrime #BuffaloNY #1980sCrime #NewYorkCity Welcome to ‘Killer’ Crime, where we delve into the intriguing world of crime.
