Serial Killers: Why Do They Kill?

Serial Killers have been interviewed, their DNA/s studied, and their brains scanned. Their families have been interviewed. And, yet we’re still no closer to understanding what makes them so different from the rest of us. The study of a killer’s mind has fascinated scientists and laymen alike. The most gruesome murders are generally attributed to psychotics rather than psychopaths. Psychotic serial killers have lost touch with reality, while psychopathic serial killers know exactly what they are doing. The most sensational killers are thrill killers - they kill just because they like it so much. They revel in finding their targets and in the planning of it as much as in the execution. The FBI defines a “serial killer” as someone who murders two or more victims, with a cooling-off period between crimes. Thomas Hargrove, an investigative journalist has estimated that there are 2,000 at-large serial killers in the United States. According to Hargrove, “Two thousand is a ballpark figure. There are more than 220,000 unsolved murders recorded in the United States since 1980. If we put that in perspective, it is perhaps alarming if not scary that there are at least 2,000 unrecognized series of murders.” Some serial killers because of their ability to blend in with the population have eluded law enforcement with many years.

Serial Killers: Their Lives, Their Crimes, and Their Handwriting

Is there a serial killer living next door? By masquerading as regular people, some serial killers have managed to elude law enforcement for many years. Some, like the infamous Zodiac Killer, have never been apprehended. In fact, it is estimated that there are over 2,000 serial killers currently at large in the USA. But who are these serial killers and what motivates them to take the life of another human being? Are there any signs that we should be cognizant of? We do not know all of the answers, but we do know that many serial killers come from broken homes and have experienced some form of abuse or abandonment as children.
