Serial Killers in the U.S


      Before we can discuss what serial killers do, we must first define what a
serial killer is.  Some people might place serial killers into the same group as

the elderly or women. They also pick victims who will not be missed by society,
such as migrant workers, prostitutes, hitchhikers or homosexuals. They may even
pick victims based on specifics such as physical build or hairstyle.
