Serial killer? II think I had a run in with a potential serial killer today. I was at work and this man came in and bought a lot of stuff and asked me if I could 'deliver' his purchases seeing as he has no means of transportation. No big deal right? We live in a small town , so I figuired it would be ok. Well I get to his house and He asks if I can pull around back....ok.........I do and I pop the trunk and start getting his bags.......I walk up to the door to help and I have never seen anything like it in my life. I cant even begin to tell you what I saw???? He had magazines and stacks of papers all over his floor where you wouldnt even be able to walk. He had little scraps of papers and news clippings all over his walls. He said he is an artist .....his 'art' was little clipping and red marker scribbled all on his 'art'. His entire walls were covered in this 'art' and clippings . I have never seen anything like it in my life. Then he asks if would like some of his 'art' and If I have a boyfriend ? I ran out of space.......So I tell him yes I do have a boyfriend......He told me that he has spied on me before at my house but I wasnt home. When he came into my work he asked if we had any binoculars????? I was more than a little freaked......He looks like he jusr got out of prison.......I am not judging him but .....The dude creeped me out big time . I have never seen a house like that in my time. I have only read about these kind of things in true trime books. I dont want to end up in one of those books. Tell me what you think , please. Thank you

How would you catch a serial killer that kills with no motive and murder weapon? Suppose a crazy psycho and yet intelligent person decides to regularly kill random people. Not just in one city but anywhere in the country. Everytime he totally randomly chooses the victim. Then he goes to spy on that person for a few days, then he waits for the right moment and kills the person with a silenced gun. Or if the target is too hard or risky, he simply goes ahead and randomly chooses someone else. How would a serial killer like that ever get exposed? I mean unless he makes a stupid mistake by accident, he is basically invincible.

What was the name of this movie about a father worried his son was a serial killer? I saw it on TV at least a decade ago. It may have been a made-for-TV movie. It definitely looked low budget. A father worries that his 18? year old son is a serial killer because people he comes into contact with have a habit of "disappearing". No one believes the father. The son also sends his father presents, like a wrist watch, that turn out to be personal items from the victims. In the climax of the film, the father discovers that his son has been stowing the bodies in a nearby lake.
Which is more of a crime: Killing an eight month old fetus or killing a pedophile serial killer? Which is worse? The reason why I ask this is because (SOME) atheists on here have said that it's hypocritical to be against abortion and yet support the death penalty. So, is the life of a pedophile serial killer just as precious as the life of an eight month old fetus that's about to get aborted? Are they equal? Regardless of whether or not you believe in a soul, do you think these two lives are just as special?

In New Zealand we are about six or seven years behind and we are up to the story line where Marlena the serial killer wakes up and blames John for pushing her over the balcony and Hope is even considering arresting John.

What is the difference between a serial killer before they have ever killed and after they killed 3+ people? Would there be any value in attempting to help them or make counseling available to people who fit the profile of serial killers, serial rapists, serial child abusers, before they ply their trade for the first time? Would such a person seek or accept help? Could lives be saved? Am I being overly optimistic? It's not that I think we are being too hard on them. Personally, I don't care if they rot in hell. It's just that if we wait until they've killed 3 or more people before we begin to profile, identify, pursue, prosecute, or find other ways to stop them., are we not doing society a disservice?
What is the difference between a Serial Killer and a Mass Murder? What is a detailed definition of these two groups of people? Why do some professionals seem to interchange these two groups when referring to Serial Killers? I was hoping someone would expand on what I had already found from research. Mass murders tend to kill multiple people in a single incedent. They rarely chose their victims based on any specific perferences. Such as same sex or hair color. Their killings are usually attention based (Danny Harold Rolling). Serial Killers react to the thrill of the chase. They sometimes fantasize for years about the the type of victims and the method of the kill before they act upon the urges. MM's tend to stick to a perticular type and sex rarely changing. Although their ritual may not change it will mature over time making it harder to catch solve the murders. As children they usually show little emotion or empathy when causing others pain or distress. They do however learn early to mimic others emotions to blend in and escape detection.
