Thought provoking. Some guideposts to look for when investigating a suspect. But only a rough outline. You know my saying. We're not looking at a type. We're looking at an individual. I don't want to understand them. I want to study how to catch them. With all of the electronic surveillance now from cameras to LPR they are an endangered species ?????
Yea, I don't buy the idea that this type of individual is no longer being formed. We still have many random sex attacks. Guys are still developing sexually violent fantasies.
Widespread cameras, DNA/forensics, a stricter parole system, phone data, better communication between law enforcement, public awareness/stranger danger, home security systems, etc., mean that most of them likely get popped after one or two attacks.
Bundy, Dahmer, BTK, and Gacy, would never get away with it in today's world. Thankfully, it now requires a consistent level of sophistication and self-control that most individuals can't reach or maintain. Heuermann slipped through because of the victim profile of his targets, but even that world is becoming more operationally secure.
