“What if some particular serial killer didn’t care about their patterns?”
More importantly, why are they talking about “a serial killer’s pattern”, as if there is only one? Every serial killer is an individual, and the pattern that each one follows can change frequently. What doesn’t change is the “signature” of a serial killer, but their “pattern” or M.O. can be highly flexible.
Ted Bundy preferred young women, but not pre-pubescent, but at the end of his ‘career’, he took a pre-pubescent victim, perhaps out of desperation. Zodiac changed his M.O. twice at the end of his (confirmed) ‘career’. I wonder if the press came up with this on their own, or if there really is someone this clueless in charge of the investigation.
Shouldn't have done it in FL. We fried his *ss for it.
Hoorah for FL!
