What's Your First Hand Experience With A Serial KILLER?

A serial killer is an individual who commits multiple murders, typically three or more, over a period of time, with a psychological motive driving their actions. The killings usually follow a recognizable pattern or modus operandi (MO), and there’s often a “cooling-off” period between murders. Serial killers have been the subject of intense fascination in media, true crime, and psychological studies due to their complex and disturbing behaviors.Common Traits of Serial Killers:

1. Psychological Motivations:
   • Desire for control, power, or dominance.
   • Revenge, anger, or hatred.
   • Obsession or compulsion.
   • Sadistic tendencies.
2. Victim Selection:
