so let me bring in criminal profiler pat brown. to the show and let's just begin with the notion off the bat is this potentially grasping at straws here or would this be proper protocol? >> i think the attorney has a point. i mean i think he's trying to say that the case isn't that good against durst and it isn't. i mean it's circumstantial. i think he can get off easily with a jury that can be convinced by a good defense attorney that there's no real proof that says durst did it. so yes, i think the fbi would like to find something else with dna evidence. something truly to link him physically to a crime, which means they better look at crimes where there's bodies. if you are looking at missing persons crimes unless you know where he would bury a body what good will it do you? they need dna. >> if you are a criminal profiler and you are looking at durst and you are looking at durst's history, how would you characterize him? what kind of person what kind of individual, potential killer he would he be? >> if we look at crimes that pe

the perfect person to speak with, criminal profiler pat brown.tory, the arrest and details that followed since then have a lot of people asking really who is this guy? does this surprise you that following his arrest, the fbi is now looking into other cold cases? >> reporter: well, kate, i think there's good reason for them to do that. if they can find a case that has dna, they can absolutely take him to court and convict him because all of these other cases aren't circumstantial. we could use a dna case. is he a serial killer? not that i know of. he may have killed 3 people, not necessarily a serial killer bah situational killer. somebody got in his way and he killed or allegedly killed under those circumstances. not the same as a serial killer who goes out every time to feel a little power control and kills a woman, rapes and kills somebody and dumps her in the bushes. that's a different kind of mentality. is he a psychopath? yes. capable of killing more? yes. i think the fbi is doing the right thing. there may be dna sitting that could really

in the negotiations that will play out with so many things governor wolf has -- >> pat vance is in support of marcus brown. she said he is one of her constituents. the whole thing is strange to me, i could imagine commissioner ramsey coming in and the rank and file saying he can't wear the uniform because he didn't go to the academy here. this manner has the background, it seems to be much to do about nothing. >> what do you think. >> this is not coming from the republicans. it's coming from the state troopers. we as people who don't wear uniforms, it's very important to them. the sign issue speaks to his temperment. my sources tell me the governor will go in another direction. >> this is a simple political decision. it has nothing to do with whether the guy is qualified. it's like what the president did with susan rice he made a political decision i'm not going through the confirmation fight i have to go through. i'll use the political capital. >> here's how it became partisan there's a letter that was was put in a mail box used an n-word attacking him. senator from philadelphia said he is standing behin
