Although there are female serial killers, the majority are males; therefore, I refer to them as
he
instead of
he/she
to facilitate the flow of text.

HALT (Homicide Assessment and Lead Tracking System) is similar in principle to VICAP and is now called ViCAPS in New York State.

Some classicists believe that thumbs up, toward the heavens, signified death, while thumbs down, to the earth, signified life.

This is at least the legend. One source attributes the “bathing in blood” theme to the fact that Elizabeth was so covered in blood after torturing the girls that it appeared as if she had bathed in their blood.

Forty-seven years later, in Los Angeles, Peter Lorre’s daughter was confronted by the serial killer team of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono—the Hillside Stranglers. Posing as police detectives, they intended to rape and murder her like their previous victims, but when they looked through her purse they discovered the identity of her father. They immediately released her.

Some accounts state that Mullin was rejected by the Marines
before
he went through basic training. See, for example, Ward Damio,
Urge to Kill,
New York: Pinnacle Books, 1974, pp. 168–169. Ressler and Shachtman, in
Whoever Fights Monsters
(New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1992) state that he completed basic training.

The case of Jerry Burdos is described in Michael Newton,
The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers;
Eric W. Hickey,
Serial Murderers and Their Victims;
and many other sources, but the most definitive account of the Burdos case was produced by Ann Rule (writing as Andy Stack), in
Lust Killer,
New York: Signet, 1983.

It’s a myth that White’s defense argued that his consumption of Twinkies and other junk food triggered a homicidal depression. They actually argued that his eating habits were a
symptom of
depression, which diminished his capacity to tell right from wrong.
