Synopsis by Tracie Cooper

Through rare footage, interviews, and commentaries from leading experts, viewers get a close look into the minds of some of the most infamous assassins America has ever known. Shadow of the Assassin explains that murderers such as Sirhan Sirhan, Mark David Chapman, Lee Harvey Oswald, and James Earl Ray all share the same psychological anomalies. This two-part video sets out to prove that fact by a close examination of the profiling techniques used by the F.B.I. and Secret Service to identify potential assassins.
