The Serial Killer Files: Volume 2

The Serial Killer Files: Volume 2

John Humphrey
2/5 ( ratings)
Serial killers don’t just get up one morning from their beds and just start killing people. They don’t kill out of greed, jealousy or for financial gain. However, their killing is based on psychological gratification and their motives include anger, thrill, attention seeking or sexual gratification. The term ‘serial killer’ was originally coined in the 1970s by the former director of the FBI’s violent criminal apprehension program, Robert Ressler. Serial killers murder at least two or more people and they mostly work alone, but there are exceptions as you will see in this book. Since the 1950s there has been an increase in the number of serial killers in the United States and this has bought about a whole new field in criminal research which attempts to ’predict’ the actions of a serial killer this fairly new concept is known as profiling. Profiling has enabled law enforcement to classify serial killers based on their organization and social skills.

In this second volume I will outline some of the most cunning serial killers that have terrorized America over the past 30 years and how law enforcement managed to end their murderous rampage.

Chapter 1
Murder and Abduction in South Carolina

A sleepy southern town becomes a place of unimaginable horror as young girls begin disappearing. A cunning serial killer is on the loose, tormenting a family while evading capture. Until investigators could find a way to stop him, he would continue his hunt for more victims. He was a predator, abducting girls and young women from their own front yards in broad daylight. He was a sadist, phoning one victim’s family, taunting them, and then dashing their hopes. And he would not stop until he was caught. This serial killer, whoever he was, could pass unnoticed in society. Yet he craved the attention his crimes provided. Somewhere in this contradiction lay the key to his exposure.

Chapter 2
The serial killing partnership

A pair of serial killers roamed the Midwest, preying on adults and children alike. Always a step behind, investigators had no choice but to follow the trail of bodies. As the crime spree raged out of control, pressure mounted to stop these killers. They swept through six states like a plague, thrill killers acting without reason they targeted adults and young girls. Kidnapping and murdering and then moving on to kill again.

Chapter 3
Deadly stranger

In the fall of 1995 a serial killer was on the loose, crossing the country he lured women with his charm each time he vanished before police could catch him. The body of a young woman found burned in a truck launched a man hunt to find her killer. When more bodies began to turn up across the country, the FBI believed the cases were linked, investigators had a suspect they just couldn't find him.

Chapter 4
The racist serial killer

A serial killer Western New York. He chose his victims for the color of their skin. The community was gripped by fear, not knowing when or where he would strike next. The only evidence he left behind is spent shell casings. To focus their search, local authorities called on an FBI profiler for help. They needed to stop this murderous rampage before the killer ended another life. In Buffalo, New York, a sniper targeted African American men. He held a city hostage and threatened to ignite a racial powder keg and it looked like others might be following his bloody example. When it became clear that physical evidence alone wasn't enough to corner the killer, FBI profilers developed other means. Their work provided the only hope of flushing him out and connecting him to his crimes.
