A serial killers suffer from Antisocial
Personality Disorder and appear
normal or charming, sometimes referred
to as the "mask of sanity." Sometimes
there is a sexual element to the murders
and they may have a commonality such
as gender, occupation, appearances, race,
etc.
The
term serial killer was coined in the
1970s due to cases such as Ted
Bundy and
David Berkowitz.
According
to an FBI
Behavioral Unit study 85% of
the world's serial killers are in America.
At any given time 20 - 50 unidentified
active serial killers are at work continually
changing their targets and methods.
Prostitutes,
runaways, and others who lead transient
and anonymous lives are usually not reported
missing promptly and receive little police
or media attention, making them excellent targets. Experts speculate
on what happens to unsolved cases of
murderers. Some may commit suicide, die,
be incarcerated, in mental institutions,
relocate, or stopped killing; a few turn
themselves in.
Experts
don't agree on an exact definition of
a serial killer but general definitions
are based on numbers and patterns: two
or more unrelated victims in distinctly
separate incidents.
The Northwest has a notorious history
of prototype killers -- among
them are Ted
Bundy and the Green
River Killer. Lesser known serial
killers have claimed scores of lives
but are only charged and/or convicted
of one or two murders, but suspected
of more.

According
to Mike Rustigan, professor of criminology
at San Francisco State University:
"With
all of them, their motives
tend to be total, deep and
personal. They feel no guilt,
no remorse and have an attitude
of total disdain towards their
victims.
"There's
a self-importance that runs
in all of them. With the Unabomber,
for example, he demanded that
The Washington Post and The
New York Times publish his
manifesto. You get the feeling
that if he had just laid low,
he may have remained on the
loose to this day. His own
brother saw the manifesto in
his home and he then contacted
authorities. I feel he felt
upstaged by the Oklahoma City
bombing, which made everything
he had done up to that point
seem like nothing."
Tod
W. Burke, professor of criminology at
Radford University and a former police
officer explains:
"Most
profilers say serial killers
don't learn from mistakes in
their previous killings, but
I believe they do. They try
to improve on their previous
effort. You know how the more
you do something, the better
you get at it? Well, there
comes a point where you peak
and you can only go down.
"With
serial killers, a greed factor
will set in where they'll believe
the more they kill and get
away with it, the easier it
will be. And that's when they
get sloppy and get caught."
Emanuel
Tanay, forensic psychiatrist, points
out that Ohio serial killer 'Angel of
Death," Larry
Ralston, quit killing for 6 years
while he worked in a morgue. Because
he had enough involvement with death
when he worked in a morgue, he didn't
kill anybody. 'He was satisfied.'

Cannibalism:
A modern taboo
The
aetiology of serial murder: towards
an integrated model Despite
media, public interest,
recent increases in offenses and
disproportionate social effects;
multi-disciplinary research of serial
murder has not been forthcoming.
Most are based on
court and
newspaper reports with no access
to subjects. This examines theories
that pertain to serial sexual murder
into a multi-disciplinary aetiological
model including
sociological, psychiatric, psychological
developmental and biological elements.

My
Life Among the Serial Killers: Inside
the Minds of the World's Most Notorious
Murderers Depraved by
Helen Morrison, Harold Goldberg -- Dr.
Helen Morrison profiled the Mad Biter,
Richard Otto Macek, chewed on his victims'
body parts, stalked Morrison, then believed
she was his wife. Morrison did the last
interview with Ed
Gein, the inspiration for Alfred
Hitchcock's Psycho. John
Wayne Gacy,
the killer clown-obsessed with young
men, sent her Christmas cards and gave
her paintings. Then there was Atlanta
child killer Wayne
Williams;
rapist turned murderer Bobby
Joe Long;
England's Fred
and Rosemary West, who killed girls
and women, and Brazil's deadliest killer
of children, Marcelo Costa de Andrade.
Morrison has received hundreds of letters
from killers, read their diaries and
journals, evaluated crime scenes, testified
at their trials, and studied photos of
the gruesome carnage. She has interviewed
the families of the victims -- and the
spouses and parents of the killers. She
has also studied serial killers throughout
history with psychological autopsies
of the fifteenth-century French war hero Gilles
de Rais,
the sixteenth-century Hungarian Countess
Bathory, H.H.
Holmes of
the late 19th century, and Albert
Fish of the Roaring Twenties.

7 states and many agencies, joined forces
