Serial Killers
There are many types of criminals to profile but one of the worst types is the serial killer. The reason behind this is because you know there will be more and each time they kill they grow and change. Due to the changes it starts to become harder to find out who will be targeted next. Some of the most famous serial killers are:
- Jack the Ripper - Murdered 5 (possibly 6) women in London 1988.
- Ted Bundy - Raped and murdered tons of women between 1974-1978. He confessed to 30, but the number is still unknown.
- Javed Iqbal - Pakistani killer who claimed he murdered 100 boys in 18 months.
- Andrei Chikatilo - Ukrainian killer, nicknamed Butcher of Rostov, who murdered 53 women and children between 1978-1990.
- Jack the Ripper - He/she murdered all prostitutes and all but one was badly mutilated. It is suggested that he/she was a doctor or butcher because the killer showed knowledge of human anatomy. Since the identity of this serial killer is still unknown there is no knowledge of them killing again and motives.
- Ted Bundy - He would rape his victims then murder them by bludgeoning and sometimes strangulation. He was engaged in necrophilia. He would approach his victims in public spaces, even in daylight and crowds. Gaining their trust by feigning an injury or impersonating an authority figure. Once he lured them to his car he would hit them in the head with a crowbar. He admitted to decapitating at least a dozen with a hacksaw and keeping heads in his apartment or house. He also confessed to revisiting the bodies of his victims, laying next to them, applying makeup, and having sex with the remains.
- Javed Iqbal - He had been arrested for sexually abusing 2 boys for money and he got off on bail. Shortly after he started murdering young boys by finding them on the street and drugging them, raping them, and then strangling them. He would cut the bodies up and place them in a vat of hydrochloric acid. After they were liquified he would dump them, at first it was in the sewer but people started to complain about the smell so he decided to dump them in the Ravi River. He collected clothing and shoes of his victims as trophies and after the 15th victim he started taking pictures.
- Andrei Chikatilo - He bought an old house that his family did not know about. He was trying to rape a young girl, when she struggled he stabbed her to death and that was the start of his killings. He would go after prostitutes and homeless women and tempt them with money or alcohol, and young girls and boys that were running away or at a bus or train station and tempt them with candy or toys. He would take them to the woods and attempt to rape them, but he would be unable to get an erection so he would become furious and kill them. Reports of crimes like child rape and serial murders were suppressed by the state-controlled media of the USSR, which means the only reason he got caught was when he was under police surveillance and approached and young child.
