Dave “Chook” Henwoods work developing criminal profiling in New Zealand, lead to catching some of New Zealand's worst rapists and murderers. Including the offender in New Zealand police’s longest and largest manhunt, Joseph Thompson. And Susan Burdett’s rapist and killer Malcolm Rewa, exonerating Teina Pora who had spent more than 20 years in prison, falsely accused. The latter didn’t win Chook many friends amongst the police force.
Now at 72, Chook’s sharing his journey from growing up on a Hauraki Plains dairy farm, to becoming a police cadet at 17, and going on to lead the National Criminal Profiling Unit, chasing the worst criminals in New Zealand in his book ‘Unmasking Monsters’.
