    If you averaged out every serial killer, you end up with someone that is remarkably just like me. I’ve learned this isn’t a bit of trivia to mention during job interviews.

        Serial killers skew white, male, under middle age, have a developmental trauma, tend to work alone, have impulse control issue, lack of empathy and manipulative behavior. As compared to the general populace.

          Serial killers skew white

          This is one of those times where racism strikes again. Serial killers also skew towards killing those like them, so guess what was ignored for a long time? Right, suspicious deaths of black individuals, meaning our ‘tracking’ of serial killers had some pretty large dearths.
