AN ASTOUNDING COMPILATION OF 50 OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS AND RUTHLESS SERIAL KILLERS THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.
From the author of TOP CASES of The FBI, Parker captures criminal files on 50 Serial Killers including: John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Son of Sam, Karla Homolka, Christine Fallings, Dr. H.H. Holmes, and many, many more.
This book includes, the Black Widows, Cannibals, Unsolved Serial Killings, and the various categories of Serial Killers as defined by the FBI.
Serial Killer Defined
A serial killer, as characteristically defined, is a person who has murdered three or more people over a period with a cooling off period between the murders. The motive for killing is typically based on psychological gratification. Many serial killers who are caught usually do not see a prison cell, but are put in a mental facility instead. Some sources label serial killing as a series of two or more murders, committed in separate events, by one criminal acting alone, or simply a minimum of at least two murders.
The FBI states that motives for serial murder include thrill, anger, rage, financial profit, and attention seeking, but often there is a sexual factor involved. In addition, a serial killer will normally target people who have something in common such as appearance (blonde-haired people with blue eyes), occupation (prostitutes), race (colored people), sex (females), or age groups (teenagers).
Serial Killers are not spree killers, someone who kills two or more people without a cooling off period, nor are they mass murderers, a person or a group who kills more than four people at one event.
The FBI defines serial murder as follows:
* A minimum of three victims, with periods off "cooling off" in between.
* The killer is usually a stranger to the victim, and the murders appear random.
* The murders reflect a need to viciously dominate the victim.
* The murder is rarely "for profit;" the motive is psychological, not material.
* Killers often choose victims who are vulnerable: prostitutes, runaways, etc.
* The typical serial killer is a white male from a lower to middle class background, habitually in his twenties or thirties. Several were bodily or psychologically abused by parents. As children, serial killers often set fires, torture animals, and wet their beds; these red flag behaviors are known as the triad of signs. Brain injuries are often common. Many are above intelligent and have revealed immense promise as successful people. They are also captivated with police and authority in general. They either will have endeavored to become police officers themselves but were rejected, or be employed as security guards, or have served in the military. Many of them, including John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and the Hillside Strangler, would camouflage themselves as law enforcement officials in order to gain entrance to their victims.
Attributes of a Serial Killer
* Over 90 percent of serial killers are white males.
* They have a propensity to be intelligent, with above-average IQs.
* Despite their high IQs, most do poorly in school and have difficulty in holding a job.
* Classically, they are neglected as children and were raised by domineering mothers.
* There is often a family history of psychiatric and alcoholic issues.
* They are generally abused mentally and sexually as children.
* A lot of them end up spending time in reform schools as children.
* They have a higher than normal rates of suicide attempts.
* From an early age, they have interests in fetishism, voyeurism, and pornography.
* Over 60% of serial killers were wetting their beds past the age of twelve.
* Fire starting: their attraction with fire is an early demonstration of their fondness for dramatic destruction. Otis Toole, the associate of Henry Lee Lucas, burned down a neighborhood house when he was just six years old. Teenage adventure killer George Adorno was only four years old when he first displayed his pyromaniac tendencies, setting fire to his own sister. The habitual Carl Panzram was thrown into a reformatory when he was only eleven years old, and just months after torched the place, causing damage in excess of over one hundred thousand dollars.
* Sadistic activity: serial killers get their enjoyment from tormenting small animals at an early age, later graduating from animals to human beings.
Organized or Disorganized
One of the many jobs of an FBI profiler is classifying the UNSUB or Unknown Subject, collecting facts about the crimes he or she committed for understanding and future knowledge.
FBI profiler, John Douglas, termed the words disorganized and organized in the study of serial killers. These differences can be contingent from facts and other information about the crime, or from the crime scene itself.
A disorganized, psychotic, or mentally ill individual, is inferred from a messy, disorganized crime scene with lots of evidence left behind. On the other hand, an organized killer, someone who shows no remorse, and is psychopathic, is controlled, planning, premeditated, and leaves behind very little, if any, evidence at a crime scene.
