When Ed Gein was asked if he wore the masks he made from his victim’s skin for a prolonged period of time, he replied:

“Not too long, I had other things to do.”

The Main Characteristics of Serial Murder

The FBI defines serial murder as repetitive killings that will not stop until the criminal is apprehended, dies or is killed. Furthermore, the serial killer is said to derive excitement, mostly of the sexual kind, and that he may take a trophy with him, such as a purse, jewelry or even a body part from his victim as a means of reliving the excitement of the deed. When this excitement subsides, the killer feels compelled to go out and kill again and the thrill may subside in quicker recession over time. Serial killings are usually one-on-one though on some occasions there are collaborations among killers. When two people join to commit multiple murders, the French term “folie a deux” is used as in the case of the Hillside Stranglers. There have been also group killings. The murders are usually accompanied with or followed by brutal violence, such as rape or mutilation and in some cases even necrophilia. In addition, there is usually a distinguishable or recognizable pattern of behavior. In some cases, there is no other apparent motive other than the desire to kill.

In the modern age, increased mobility has made it easier for serial killers to move around and it has become more difficult for the police to track them down and to identify them. As a result, the government decided to fund and implement a program called VICAP, the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program using the expertise and knowledge of members of the FBI`s Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico. In Canada, the RCMP has its equivalent in ViCLAS, the Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System, which is considered to be among the best in the world. There are various theories about what makes a serial killer. Most of them agree, however, that a traumatic childhood involving some kind of abuse is a dangerous and fertile breeding ground for later violent behavior. Yet a serial killer remains by definition somebody who commits various murders accompanied with violence or who follows a certain criminal pattern or modus operandi as their trademark.

The interior of Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment, showing the black table that was to become part of the ‘shrine’, and Dahmer’s fish tank.

“It was nice, with African cichlids and tiger barbs in it and live plants, it was a beautifully kept fish tank, very clean… I used to like to just sit there and watch them swim around, basically, I used to enjoy the planning of the set-up, the filtration, reading about how to keep the nitrate and ammonia down to safe levels and just the whole spectrum of fish-keeping interested me. I once saw some puffer fish in the store. It’s a round fish, and the only ones I ever saw with both eyes in front, like a person’s eyes, and they would come right up to the front of the glass and their eyes would be crystal blue, like a person’s, real cute. It’s a fun hobby, I really enjoyed that fish tank. It’s something I really miss.”

criminalprofiler: John Wayne Gacy - the Murders On February 12, 1971, Gacy was charged with disorderly conduct in Chicago, on the complaint of a boy he attempted to rape. The accuser, a known homosexual, failed to appear in court for Gacy’s hearing, and the charges were dismissed. Parole officers in Iowa were never notified of the arrest or accusation, and Gacy was formally discharged from parole on October 18, 1971. By his own estimate, the first murder occurred less than three months later, on January3, 1972. The victim, picked up at a bus terminal, remains unidentified, but his death was typical of Gacy’s future approach. In searching for prey, Gacy sometimes fell back on young friends and employees, more often trolling the streets of Chicago for hustlers and runaways. Like the Hillside Strangler, he would sometimes flash a badge and gun, “arresting” his intended victim. Others were invited to the Gacy home for drinks, a game of pool, and John would show them “tricks” with “magic handcuffs,” later hauling out the dildo and garrote. When he was finished, John would do the “rope trick” - strangulation - and his victim would be buried in a crawlspace underneath the house. In later years, as he ran out of space downstairs, he started dumping bodies in a nearby river. Planting corpses in the crawlspace had its drawbacks, notably a rank, pervasive odor that the killer blamed on “sewer problems.” Gacy’s second wife was also in the way, her presence limiting his playtime to occasions when she left the house or traveled out of town, but when their marriage fell apart, in 1976, Gacy was able to accelerate his program of annihilation. Between April 6, and June 13, 1976, at least five boys were slaughtered at Gacy’s home, and there seemed to be no end in sight. On October 25 of that year, he killed two victims at once, dumping their bodies into a common grave. As time went on, his targets ranged in age from nine to twenty, covering the social spectrum from middle-class teens to jailbirds and prostitutes. Not all of Gacy’s victims died. In December 1977, Robert Donnelly was abducted at gunpoint, tortured and sodomized with a dildo in Gacy’s house of horror, then released. Three months later, 26-year-old Jeffrey Rignall has having a drink at Gacy’s home when he was chloroformed and fastened to “the rack,” a homemade torture device similar to one used by Dean Corll in Houston. Gacy spent several hours raping and whipping Rignall, applying the chloroform with such frequency that Rignall’s liver suffered permanent damage. Regaining consciousness beside a lake in Lincoln Park, Rignall called police at once, but it was mid-July before they got around to charging Gacy with a misdemeanor. The case was still dragging on five months later, when Gacy was picked up on charges of multiple murder. On December 12, 1978, Robert Piest disappeared from his job at a Chicago pharmacy. Gacy’s construction firm had lately remodeled the store, and Piest had been offered a job with the crew, informing coworkers of his intention to meet “a contractor” on the night of his disappearance. Police dropped by to question Gacy at his home, and they immediately recognized the odor emanating from his crawlspace. Before they finished digging, Gacy’s lot would yield 28 bodies, with five more recovered from rivers nearby. Of the 33 victims, nine would remain forever unidentified. In custody, Gacy tried to blame his murderous activities on “Jack,” an alter-ego (and coincidentally, the alias he used when posing as a cop). Psychiatrists dismissed the ruse, and the defendant was convicted on all counts at his 1980 murder trial. Life sentences were handed down on 21 counts of murder, covering deaths that occurred before June 21, 1977, when Illinois reinstated capital punishment. In the case of twelve victims murdered between July 1977 and December 1978, Gacy was sentenced to die.

Prefer strangers as victims. Engage in controlled conversation with the victim. Capture their victims, kill them, and dispose of their bodies in separate locations. Use restraints, often bringing them to the crime scene. Come prepared with weapons. Commit sexual offences with a living victim. Attempt to extensively control the victim through manipulation or threats, and desire a show of fear from their victim. Use a vehicle. Commit the crimes far away from their residence. Study police investigative techniques. Become more proficient in the commission of their crime with time. As individuals, organised killers are likely to be of above-average intelligence, attractive, married or living with a spouse, employed, educated, skilled, orderly, cunning and controlled. They have some degree of grace and often talk and seduce their victim into being captured. They are more likely to appear physically attractive to their victim, and their victims are often younger. They are difficult to apprehend because they go to inordinate lengths to cover their tracks and are often forensically aware. Their family background is more stable, their father was more likely to have been gainfully employed, and they are of higher birth order, often the eldest sibling. When they commit their crimes they are likely to be angry or depressed and under the influence of alcohol, and their offence is often triggered by some kind of personal stress, such as divorce, loss of a job, or financial crisis. They are likely to follow the media reports of the crime and are prone to change jobs or leave town after the crime.

serial-killers-101: Children Killers Kids who kill fall into different categories, according to their traits, situations, and motivations.  Some kills are accidental, such as those involving kids who find their parents’ guns, but many occur within a specific type of context and have motives.  Most of the experts categorize these killings by kids as: 1.    Inner city/gang killers these are kids who grow up in violent environments and who may have violent role models, such that their typical mode of response, whether for self-defense or just to get what they want, is violence.  This also includes gang killers, or children who are pressured from within a gang to kill.  They feel more powerful as a member of the gang, so they will do what it takes to get respect.  In fact, within some gangs any restraint on violence is viewed as weak. 2.    Killing within a family:  Kids who kill members of their family for reasons other than an accident, feel pressured by demands, abuse, hatred, desire for gain, and even by the need of other family members.  One 14-year-old enlisted this brother to help him murder their parents, and one mother provoked her son into killing his father.

ramirezdahmerbundy: In the short time before an execution by lethal injection, the prisoner is prepared for his death. This can include a change of clothing, a last meal, and a shower. The prisoner is taken to the execution chamber and two IV tubes are inserted in to his arms; a saline solution is fed through the tubes. These tubes are then fed through the wall in to an anteroom from where the execution will be carried out. The anteroom contains direct telephone connections to officials who have the power to stay the execution. Once the IV tubes are connected, the curtains are drawn back so that witnesses may watch the execution, and the prisoner is allowed to make his last statement. Unless a stay is given, the execution begins. There can be one or more executioners, and sometimes in the case of multiple executioners, the lethal dose is given by only one so that no one knows who delivered it. The executioners are shielded from the view of the prisoner and witnesses. The drugs can be delivered by a machine, but due to the fear of mechanical failure, most US states prefer to manually inject the drugs in to the IV. The drugs are then administered in the following order: Sodium thiopental: This drug, also known as Pentathol is a barbiturate used as a surgical anesthetic. In surgery, a dose of up to 150mg is used; in execution, up to 5,000mg is used. This is a lethal dose. From this point on if the prisoner is still alive, he should feel nothing. Pancuronium bromide: Also known as Pavulon, this is a muscle relaxant given in a strong enough dose to paralyse the diaphragm and lungs. This drug takes effect in 1-3 minutes. A normal medical dose is 40 – 100mcg per kilogram; the dose delivered in an execution is up to 100mg. Potassium chloride: This is a toxic agent which induces cardiac arrest. Not all states use this as the first two drugs are sufficient to bring about death. Saline solution is used to flush the IV between each dose. Within a minute of two after the final dose is given, a doctor declares the prisoner dead. The body is then sent to the coroner for verification and sometimes an autopsy and is released to the family for burial or is buried by the state.
