“There was nothing else I could do that was as much fun,” said criminal profiler Richard Walter about his work.<\/font><\/p>\n

Walter, who lives in Montrose, is one of the three main subjects of the newly released book, “The Murder Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Gather to Solve the World’s Most Perplexing Cases” by Michael Capuzzo.<\/font><\/div>\n
The book, released earlier this month, details the three founding members of The Vidocq Society, a group comprised of some of law enforcement’s greatest minds from around the world and dedicated to helping shed new light on homicide cold cases.<\/font><\/div>\n
Walter, along with author Capuzzo, will be at the Inn at Montrose from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 26 for a book signing. Books will be available.<\/font><\/div>\n
Walter is one of the Society’s three founders, along with forensic sculptor Frank Bender and FBI and U.S. Customs Agent Bill Fleischer.<\/font><\/div>\n
The Vidocq Society was formed in the early 1990s and is named after Eugene Vidocq who Walter describes as the “original modern criminologist.”<\/font><\/div>\n
“He was a real guy, not like a Sherlock Holmes,” Walter said.<\/font><\/div>\n
Once a month, Vidocq Society members gather in Philadelphia to dine and then listen to presentations by detectives about the cold case homicides they are working.<\/font><\/div>\n
Members then make suggestions to the investigators about how to proceed with the case. Walter said the group has been “reasonably successful.”<\/font><\/div>\n
“We’re not the investigating agency; we’re only aiding and abetting,” said Walter. <\/font><\/div>\n
The Stephen Scher trial first brought Walter to the Montrose area. He was hired by the prosecution but never took the stand.<\/font><\/div>\n
Walter said that on his day to testify, the defense changed its strategy and Scher took the stand himself.<\/font><\/div>\n
“I was prepared to eat him alive,” said Walter. “I didn’t testify but he certainly knows who I am.”<\/font><\/div>\n
Walter liked the Susquehanna County area, got to know people and has ended up staying here for the past 10 years. <\/font><\/div>\n
A private man, Walter feels the book is a bit intrusive. “There are things in the book I hadn’t planned on being in the book,” said Walter. “Nothing terrible – just things I felt were nobody’s business.”<\/font><\/div>\n
“One of the nice things about Montrose is the people are pretty well grounded here,” Walter said and they are unimpressed with his criminal profiler background. <\/font><\/div>\n
“It’s what I do and there you are.”<\/font><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
