Mullany paired psychological training with Teten’s criminological approach. The FBI’s institutional history places him in the original 1972 unit and credits his professional psychology background as an important part of its early development.
Reported contribution: Mullany worked with Teten on the behavioral assessment and communication strategy described by the FBI as an early operational use of their approach.
Match and outcome: The historical account describes the work as useful, while the evidentiary path also depended on calls, recordings, local investigation, and Meirhofer’s confession.
