A serial killer is an individual who commits a series of intentional and premeditated murders, typically targeting multiple victims over an extended period of time. This specific type of criminal behavior is characterized by several key features:
  1. Pattern of Killings: Serial killers have a distinct pattern when it comes to selecting their victims and executing their crimes. They may have specific preferences regarding the victim's age, gender, appearance, or occupation.
  2. Motive: Serial killers often have complex psychological motivations for their actions. Motives can vary widely and may include a desire for power and control, sexual gratification, a need to satisfy twisted fantasies, or a compulsion driven by mental disorders.
  3. Cooling-Off Periods: After each murder, serial killers typically experience a "cooling-off" period, during which they lie low and refrain from committing further crimes. This period allows them to avoid detection and continue their killing spree.
  4. Multiple Crime Scenes: Serial killers usually commit murders in different locations, sometimes spanning across different cities, states, or even countries. This geographical mobility can make it difficult for law enforcement to connect the crimes.
  5. Signature: Many serial killers have a unique "signature" or modus operandi, which are specific behaviors or rituals they perform at the crime scene. These signatures are distinctive elements that set their crimes apart from others and are often driven by the killer's psychological needs.
  6. Lack of Connection to Victims: Unlike other types of murderers, serial killers typically have little or no personal connection to their victims. They choose victims based on certain characteristics that fulfill their fantasies or urges.
  7. Psychological Profile: Serial killers often display psychopathic or sociopathic traits, including a lack of empathy, remorse, and a propensity for manipulating others. Many have experienced troubled childhoods or traumatic events, contributing to the development of their violent tendencies.
  8. Media Attention: Serial killer cases often attract significant media attention due to the horrifying nature of their crimes, resulting in widespread fear and public interest.
Investigating and apprehending serial killers is an intricate and challenging task for law enforcement agencies. It involves thorough profiling, collaboration between jurisdictions, forensic analysis, and sometimes luck. Understanding the psychology and motives behind their actions is essential in developing strategies to prevent and solve such crimes.


According to the New York Times, serial killings are a thing of the past and due to technology the instances of serial killings are far and few between. Meanwhile, there have been at least four serial killers caught in the past few months, calling into question the whole article from the Times.

So, let's dive in and have a look!
