Briar Lee Mitchell interviewed over 20 serial and rampage killers, to gain insight into their lives today. Some have been incarcerated for decades and their outlook on life, their crimes, and what purpose they might have was discussed in detail with interesting and sometimes unusual results.

“Care is just a word until someone like Briar comes along and gives it true life.” (Monk Steppenwolf, serving a life sentence in Michigan for killing five people in 1964)

“You have extraordinary heart to what you’ve done. You’ve gone, along, into prisons and interviewed what most people would consider to be the most dangerous class of criminals and that not to trash them, but to give them a voice. You are, of course, awesome…” (Bernard Eugene Giles, incarcerated for life in Florida for murdering five women in the 1970s)

“Briar Lee Mitchell strips away the sad labels that our society clings to by speaking directly to those who live next door, and walk side by side with us on city streets. She provides absolute proof what when pushed to the edge anybody can become the ‘Breaking News’ and shows that empathy and compassion is the only way to prevent the next tragedy. We can all benefit from learning what sets a person off and possibly preventing the next bloodbath. Briar, I hope you accept my truth and thank you for allowing me to share my growth as a human being with you.” (Scott E. Dekraai, The Seal Beach Killer)

“A different kind of Project, Briar Lee Mitchell shines a light on They and Me–SKs of past with Darkened Pathways." (Dennis L. Rader, A.K.A., BTK – Bind, Torture, Kill, serial killer incarcerated in Kansas)

“There are trees in the forest.” (Keith Hunter Jesperson, The Happy Face Killer, incarcerated in Oregon")
