i know i sound nuts but???

Read true crime. Ann Rule writes good stuff. You'd be surprised at what you didn't know about different killers.

It fascinates me too. I want to understand WHY they do this, although that's never looked into as much as what happens that leads up to their capture.

Read Kill for Me too. It's pretty twisted. I can't remember the authors name, but you can look it up at B&N.com

My guess is that what's happened is that justice and security have improved. We have WAY better methods for tracking down killers now than we did even 20 years ago. Not only does this make the killers more likely to get caught faster, but it discourages them from killing because they know they're more likely to be caught, unlike in the old days when you could grab random people off the highway and no one would ever figure out it was you. This is a positive change, of course, for all us potential victims.

I'm a writer who is used to working with a few deranged characters in my writing, so maybe I find this question a lot less crazy than some other answers might. XD

Not only has law enforcement and technology gotten better to track down these killers but psychology has greatly improved as well. We see more parents today treat their children better than did previous generations. Those who mistreat animals are punished more severely than in the past since most serial killers started out harming animals.

umm, i could be wrong, but i think thats a good thing!

you can still enjoy all the old ones and no one else has to get hurt. you get your cake and eat it too. i hope it tastes good!

umm yeah i dont think u want them back. they might come after u.

that doesn't sound odd to me at all.

:D
