San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey's exciting offseason continues. On Tuesday, a week after putting pen to paper on a two-year extension with the red and gold, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year was unveiled as the Madden 25 cover athlete. He is the first player from the 49ers organization to be featured on the cover of the popular Electronic Arts video game since Garrison Hearst was on the international cover in 1999.
Samuel Sr. is one of several veterans that have been on hand for at least a portion of the voluntary parts of the team's offseason workout program. The wideout joined practices in Phase Three, so he's had the opportunity to participate in practices with the newest additions to the receiver room which include first-round draft pick Ricky Pearsall and fourth-round selection Jacob Cowing.
During the 2024 State of the Franchise, George Kittle, Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa shared their first impressions of their newest teammates, spoke about their excitement for the upcoming season and more.
Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall and safety Malik Mustapha joined the 49ers \"You've Got Mail\" podcast presented by Delta Dental on their first day at 49ers HQ and shared their excitement to kick off their NFL careers at the 49ers rookie minicamp.
Fans of the Netflix series Mindhunter might recall the character of Dr. Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), a psychologist who joins forces with FBI criminal profilers to study the unique psychology of serial killers in hopes of more effectively catching them. But they might not know about the inspiration for the character: Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess, whose long, distinguished career finally gets the attention it deserves in a new documentary from Hulu, Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer.
Mastermind should go a long way toward setting things right. Hulu brought on Abby Fuller to direct, best known for her work on the Chef's Table series for Netflix. Fuller might seem like a surprising choice for making a true crime documentary, but the streamer thought she would bring a fresh take to a well-worn genre. "I love the true crime aspects, but I thought we could do something more elevated and cinematic and really make this a character-driven piece about [Ann], with true crime elements," Fuller told Ars.
That said, it's not like anyone who finds the twisted psychology of serial killers, or true crime in general, fascinating is a sociopath or murderer in the making. "I think we all grapple with light and dark and how we see it in the world," said Fuller. "There's an inherent fascination with what makes someone who they are, with human behavior. And if you're interested in human behavior, a serial killer exhibits some of the more fascinating behavior that exists. Trying to grasp the darkest of the dark and understand it is a way to ensure we never become it."
"I think it's a human factor," Burgess said. "I don't see anything wrong with it. There is a fascination to try to understand why people commit these horrifying crimes. How can people do these things? But I also think people like to play detective a little bit. I think that's normal. You don't want to be fooled; you don't want to become a victim. So what can you learn to avoid it?"
For Burgess, it has always been about the victims. She co-founded one of the first crisis counseling programs at Boston City Hospital in the 1970s with Boston College sociologist Lynda Lytle Holmstrom. The duo conducted research on the emotional and traumatic effects of sexual violence, interviewing nearly 150 rape victims in the process. They were the first to realize that rape was about power and control rather than sex, and coined the term "rape trauma syndrome" to describe the psychological after-effects.
Their work caught the attention of Roy Hazelwood of the FBI, who invited Burgess to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, to give lectures to agents in the fledgling Behavioral Sciences Unit (BSU) on victimology and violent sex crimes. Thus began a decades-long collaboration that established criminal profiling as a legitimate practice in law enforcement.
