When considering HOW the CSK subdued and abducted his/her victims, then its i
mportant to consider the victims' responses to the perceived threat.
i.e. how the victims react once they realise they are in imminent danger.
You are probably familiar with the 'fight or flight' responses to any stressors (eg: events, people, situations, attacks, animals, natural disasters, and many more) that threaten health, life, and safety of any individual or group.
Faced with a threat, our body primes itself with hormones and prepares our muscles and nervous system to either attack the stressor/threat (fight response) or escape the danger and run away as fast as it can (flight response).
Besides FIGHT or FLIGHT, there is also third stress response called FREEZE.
The FREEZE response is common in animals when they 'play dead' because the animal has realised it cannot possibly survive by physically attacking or out-running the oncoming perceived threat.
Humans can also freeze and completely stop in their tracks when faced with danger.
Now back to how the CSK subdued and abducted his/her victims -
No individual can really state with confidence whether they or someone else will react with a 'fight, flight, or freeze response' when approached by a attacker, especially someone like a psychopathic SK. Each situation is different. And each person (attacker/s and victim/s) is different.
We would all probably like to imagine that we would scream and fight back scratching the attacker's face or going for the their throat, groin, or eyes.....or at very least run for our lives. But in reality, chances are we could just freeze - voice box paralysed, legs turning to jelly, our physical co-ordination gone, muscle control diminished, including pelvic floor and sphincter muscles releasing, so we could just stand there and literally wet ourselves or **** our pants.
Therefore, its entirely plausible and possible that each of the CSK's victims just FROZE in the face of danger. And even if that freeze response was only momentary, it would provide time for the CSK to strike, tag, gag and bag his/her victims, rendering them incapable of choosing another response.
Maybe CSK Victims could neither fight nor run away - a missed opportunity due to an physiological freeze response when faced with death.

NOTE: In situations of prolonged trauma, this freeze response can develop into psychological dissociation and psychological numbing, when a victim reacts by feeling that they are 'not really there' , experiencing the trauma like a nightmare or movie scene in an effort to 'remove themselves' from the trauma or outcomes of trauma. Denial can be part of this dissociation/numbing response.
