Howard Teten (1932 to 2021) was an American agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and an instructor at the FBI Academy who helped develop criminal profiling. Born in Nebraska City, Nebraska, he served in the Marine Corps as a photographer, studied criminalistics at the University of California, Berkeley, and worked for a sheriff's department and then on street patrol and crime scene investigation in San Leandro, California, before joining the FBI in 1962. From 1969 he taught applied criminology at FBI headquarters, where police officers brought him unsolved cases. With Patrick Mullany he developed methods for identifying unknown offenders, and in 1972 their classes helped lead to the Behavioral Science Unit. Their profile in the Susan Jaegar disappearance narrowed the search to David Meirhofer.
