America’s
Serial Killers: Portraits in Evil will strip the covers
from the world of profiling, forensic science and painful
investigation as this series exposes history's most
brutal serial killers.
A serial killer is a person who murders three or more
people over a period of more than thirty days, with
a "cooling off" period between each murder,
and whose motivation for killing is largely based on
psychological gratification. Often, a sexual element
is involved with the killings. The murders may have
been attempted or completed in a similar fashion and
the victims may have had something in common, for example
occupation, race, appearance, gender, or age group.
Historical criminologists have suggested that there
were serial murders throughout history, but specific
cases were not adequately recorded. The unidentified
killer “Jack the Ripper” killed prostitutes
(the exact number of victims is not known) in London
in 1888. He has also been called the most famous serial
killer.
These portraits include rare footage, crime scene testimony
and police reports of the most famous American serial
killers of all time. Some evaded capture for years,
decades or have not been caught to this day and are
still OUT THERE!!!
