How Serial Killers Work" The Zodiac Killer. John Wayne Gacy. The BTK Killer. Ted Bundy. Son of Sam. Jeffrey Dahmer. This kind of killer doesn't just "go crazy" one day and kill a lot of people. The term "serial killer" was coined in the mid-1970s by Robert Ressler, the former director of the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program. The FBI defines a serial killer as one who murders three or more victims, with "cooling-off" periods between each murder [source: U.S. According to a recent FBI study, there have been approximately 400 serial killers in the United States in the past century, with anywhere from 2,526 to 3,860 victims [source: Hickey]. Serial murders also appear to have increased over the past 30 years. In the next section, we'll look at some classifications of serial killers in use by criminal researchers and profilers so we can begin to understand this phenomenon.
10 Serial Killers you probably haven’t heard of Serial killers are a menace to society today. There are literally hundreds if not thousands active at this moment, all over the world. They hunt, stalk and kill their prey just as easily as a cat would a bird. It’s getting to the point where as a tourist in certain countries you have to be extremely careful. However, not all serial killers are high profile and some virtually go unnoticed and barely cause a stir when they are caught and put on trial. How these killers stay out of the limelight when they have done such horrid acts and stayed so un-talked about, is a mystery to me.

David Berkowitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia David Richard Berkowitz (born Richard David Falco, June 1, 1953), also known as the Son of Sam and the .44 Caliber Killer, is an American serial killer convicted of a series of shooting attacks that began in New York City in the summer of 1976. Perpetrated with a .44 caliber Bulldog revolver, he killed six victims and wounded seven others by July 1977. As the toll mounted, Berkowitz eluded a massive police manhunt while leaving brazen letters which mocked the police and promised further crimes. After his arrest by New York City police in August 1977, Berkowitz was indicted for eight shooting incidents. Intense coverage of the case by the media lent a kind of celebrity status to Berkowitz, and observers noted indignantly that he appeared to enjoy it. Berkowitz has been imprisoned since his arrest and is serving six life sentences consecutively. Early life[edit] John Vincent Sanders wrote that Berkowitz's childhood was "somewhat troubled.

Il a pris un soin méticuleux à positionner le corps dans une pose et à un endroit particulier. Il a attaché sa victime d’une manière précise et compliquée. "Nous craignons ce que nous pourrions faire -le monstre, la bête tapie en nous- bien plus que nous ne redoutons les conséquences judiciaires de nos actes. Robert Keppel, in "Signature Killers". Qu’est-ce que la signature ? Les journaux parlent de "L’étrangleur de Boston", "Le Tueur au sac poubelle" ou "l’Éventreur" pour personnaliser, étiqueter des tueurs insaisissables, jusqu’à ce que leur véritable identité soit connue. Seuls les enquêteurs réellement expérimentés peuvent reconnaître les dénominateurs communs et les changements prévisibles, d’une scène de crime à une autre, dans une série de meurtres, avant même que l’on sache qui est la victime.

Cum arată continentul pe care oamenii nu l-au văzut niciodată cu adevărat? Aceasta este adevărata „faţă” a continentului antarctic, aşa cum arată sub scutul de gheaţă care o acoperă. + zoom Galerie foto (1) Sub platoşa de gheaţă care acoperă Antarctica, se ascunde un relief rămas, în mare parte, necunoscut până de curând. Recent, însă, a fost realizată, cu ajutorul unor tehnici speciale, cea mai detaliată hartă a Antarcticii, care prezintă continentul „nud”, aşa cum arată el sub calota glaciară. Harta digitală, numită Bedmap2, a fost creată de British Antarctic Survey, pe baza datelor adunate timp de mai multe decenii. Cu ajutorul acestor informaţii, a fost creată cea mai detaliată hartă a continentului sudic: cercetătorii au „decojit” digital Antarctica de stratul de gheaţă care o acoperă şi au dezvăluit astfel relieful terenului de dedesubt. Studiind aceste caracteristici, oamenii de ştiinţă pot înţelge mai bine modul în care Antarctica reacţionează la schimbările climatice. Gheaţa Antarcticii nu este imobilă, ci curge neîncetat spre ocean. Sursa: Wired
