I lot of serial killers never demonstrated much of any 'need to get caught' including some of the most notorious (Ted Bundy, the Zodiac Killer, the two L.A. Freeway Killers, the Green River Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Unabomber, John Wayne Gacy, and the list goes on and on). Those who seem to want to get caught/killed are the spree killer types like Andrew Cunanan or the Texas Tower sniper and 'disorganized' lunatics like the Son of Sam. These are really few and far between as you'll find from scanning any list of prominent serial murderers.

Well I'm not expert on Ted Bundy and the like but Son of Sam left messages behind for cops. Obviously if you don't want to get caught why bother? No these guys are psycho and feeding their needs through these methods. Unabomber wrote manifestos which eventually helped lead him to capture. In the end a serial killer maybe good at what he does but always leaves a trail behind. Supposedly after today though they are starting to indicate they have leads that will lead to an arrest. We'll see how right that is.
