Organized/Disorganized Serial Killer
Here is a quote from the above regarding organized/disorganized typology-
The way I am reading this is that if someone like Schaefer is killing women because of hate and anger, his crimes might *appear* to be disorganized.
He doesnt strike me as one, fwiw, but I am totally a layperson. I spoke with a detective who worked some of the Schaefer cases and they knew he was messing with them. They absolutely knew that his stories had misleading information in them intentionally so that LE and families would be thrown off track. That whole cat playing with a mouse thing.
It is a wonder he wasnt killed in an interview room, and kudos to LE for not stooping to him and his level.
See, I never would have thought that he dumped his victims at sea. I figured him for someone who carried out most if not all of these crimes (including disposal) on land. JMO.
Yes, that is the link I was using, and the link description on Google states...

Sep 15, 2011 – THE DISORGANIZED/ORGANIZED SERIAL KILLER TYPOLOGY ..... Gerard Schaefer, another organized type, donated his trophies to Goodwill ...
Which sure as heck makes no sense to me either.
Surely he did not give away his trophies....and as a information source I was kind of disappointed.
And I would have to agree with you, he was apparently organized enough to carry rope, something to gag them with, lets just say his killer stuff, with him, so I think it was the hate and anger he felt as he killed them that made him become disorganized.... the exception being the Trotter /Wells case ...perhaps he was scared to not pick them up that morning, maybe he was scared they'd be gone by evening, but picking two girls up, taking them to the woods and tying them up....then leaving them to go answer a radio call, was very much below his normal....which is shown by them escaping....maybe he became overconfident, or perhaps a hand from above said ENOUGH and made the escape possible.....
I agree the cops who interviewed him, with it clicking together then how many girls had recently vanished...they deserve a reward for letting him out of that room alive.It had to take every bit of self control in them to not handle it themselves, and I, like you applaud them for not lowering themselves to his level. I have always felt his stories are kind of a half and half thing. While he enjoys lying to make each crime appear worst than the last, he places enough truth in them for each story to belong to a different girl. I think that was kind of his final touch of pleasure...to know he could remember a certain girl by the clues he left in each story, but nobody else could. After giving it some thought I agree....he would not have actually dumped bodies at sea....he would never give a real clue like that away, it was just another part of his sick game. He put the bodies places that he could go to...and he laughed and felt smug cause only he had that key part of the puzzle.To him that was the final victory. The bodies that have been recovered were in places that back then nobody would have thought of developing...but as the state grew, some were found. Nobody knows what tomorrow holds...so someday our answer will come. The right unidentified girl will be there, found in some place no girl should be, then the nightmare will end for us, and it will be replaced by a sense of peace, for at last Debbie will be home. I have always wished I could speak to any of the detectives who questioned him. However right now I guess that is not to be, not until I get freed from this machine.
I can understand why they so wanted to study him, even for a serial killer, he was someone with a mind that worked very unusually.
