The Serial Killer - Part XL
The unreal world serial killers prefer is the place where they can be their own lords, away from the insatisfaction caused by their real family life and the abuse they are victims of. Controlling this new world of fantasy becomes crucial to the child's eyes and later the adult. We often find that in children who recover from an abusive treatment, it is not the ghosts of escape to a better world that dominate their minds. They do not compensate that stimulation and aggression with creative activities or idylic thoughts. Their energy is channeled to fantasies of aggression and domination that suggest a repetitive projection of their own abuse and an identification with their aggressor.
Although they have high or very high IQs, their performance in school, college, sexual life, military or professional activities is distressingly mediocre. More than half do not finish school and the rest have mediocre grades in 68% of the cases, which leads to the conclusion that they never fulfill entirely the potencial they seem to reveal.
They are not capable of maintaining a job: 80%; change constantly and have non qualified occupations. Nearly 45% followed a military carreer, but more than half of them retired for medical or psychiatric reasons or due to problems with authority. 25% commited some crime during their time as militaries. As for sexual experiences, 44% confess to not having experienced "normal" sexual intercourse before turning to criminal activity.
Serial killers are very dangerous individuals. They look normal until some vulgar accident triggers the explosion. For Ted Bundy, the trigger was seeing a student who resembled very much his former fianceé; for Carlton Gary, it was a white old female, similar to those who employed and humiliated his black mother. As for John Wayne Gacy, a stupid quarrel with one of his employees, a teenager complaining about his payroll, triggered him into a murderess insanity.
The serial killer is a sick person: he cannot stop killing and, anyway, he doesn't want to. He only exists through the death of others and can only be stopped if killed himself, captured or if he comits suicide. But suicide is very rare amongst these kind of killers, except for psychotics or those who find themselves almost on the verge of being caught. These are the only serial killers, since the beginning of the century who have killed themselves:
Louise Vermilyea (1910)
Joe Ball (1938)
Mack Edwards (1971)
Antone Costa (1974)
Richard Chase (1980)
Barry Prudom (1982)
Charles Yukl (1982)
Leonard Lake (1985)
Richard Macek (1987)
When captured they almost always confess their crimes and even tend to exagerate the numbers. This is due to an incredibly big ego, their desire to become celebrities and the tendency to manipulate, even the law system. Confessing to non existent murders delays judgement dates. On the other hand, they also beneficiate with better imprisionment conditions, since they are asked to cooperate with the different authorities investigating their crimes. Henry Lee Lucas, for example, claimed to have murdered 300 people, but this number was suddenly and drastically reduced to 160, and continued to decrease as the investigation progressed. Likewise, a serial killer can confess to acts he didn't even comit, as was the case of Arthur Shawcross who claimed to be a canibal and necrophile so he could be considered untouchable for insanity reasons.
