Most well-known serial killers have victims numbering in the dozens, have sent taunting letters to the police or have done bizarre things to the bodies.

All serial killers want to win. They choose victims they can kill successfully.

Police are reluctant to label a murder as a possible serial homicide.

Nowadays, with much more racial and ethnic mixing, we are seeing serial killers murdering a variety of victims; whoever comes along will most likely do.

The one noticeable similarity with almost all serial killer victims is their short height and low weight.

While there are many wonderful police investigators out there doing some very fine work, the majority of the time it is not brains that catches serial killers.
