In season two, Wendy and Agent Smith team up again to visit Paul Bateman, a former radiographer and convicted murderer (who is well known for the fact that he appears as a radiological technician in a scene from 1973's The Exorcist). In 1979 he was convicted of killing journalist Addison Verrill — which is described during his onscreen portrayal in Mindhunter — and was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison. Although he was suspected of killing a number of gay men in Manhattan, there wasn't anything concrete to prove it and no other charges were brought up. He was released on parole in 2003 and then released from that after five years.
