Other than Bob Jones, Detective Kim Mager, who interrogated serial killer Shawn Grate for several hours previously, will also feature in this episode. Regarding the previous interrogations with the serial killer, she told Fox News:
"When I first started speaking to him, I didn’t find his personality to be that far off from other sex offenders, and I’ve interviewed many s*x offenders. So, he was unremarkable to me."
She further added:
"A lot of things he would say flowed like a typical conversation. His thought process seemed to be the same as anyone else. But there was a difference. That all changed when he spoke of his desire, his hunger. Those were his words — ‘a hunger to kill.’"
