Often I am asked if there is any such thing as a female serial killer.
From Pat Brown
Often, a serial killer has no felony record.
Outside of dumb luck, the number one way serial killers are caught is through the help of the public.
Police are reluctant to label a murder as a possible serial homicide.
Serial killers are everywhere! Well, perhaps not in our neighborhood, but on our television screens, at the movie theatres, and in rows and rows of books at our local Borders or Barnes and Noble Booksellers.
Serial killers kill for the power and control they experience during the murders and for the added ego boost they get in the aftermath from community fears, media coverage, and the police investigations.
Serial killing is not about sex at all, but about power and control and revenge on society.
Since there are only so many ways to kill a person, a good portion of homicides look pretty much alike.
Telling the community a serial killer is out there stirs up a lot of unpleasant attention.
The accepted definition of a serial killer is a person who kills at least three times with a cooling off period in between his murders.
