if you want to read about someone who I believe is the most similar to our SK, read about John Edward Robinson ("the white collar SK"-me)
Robinson didn't fit the profile of a SK, he was too old, too nice, soft spoken, not physically capable, looked professional in a tie, etc. which made him so disarming. By the time he was in LE radar he was an older man and his education and skills were more refined than almost all violent criminals. The average person would never suspect him of being a criminal if they came in contact with him. All of which made it very easy for him to manipulate his victims, family and law enforcement. Trusting people were easily fooled by him and believed his lies time after time.
He recruited girls using different methods, but generally under the guise of helping them and making them think he could improve their present and future situation in life. He lured young girls and sometimes young mothers away from halfway house situations.
He both directly and indirectly mislead investigators away from himself through phone calls and letters and even manipulated others to help mislead the investigation away from himself.
He did all of this while playing a visible role in his community, maintaining an image of a do gooder, good neighbor, family man, and was quick to point out his stellar civic life.
Robinson was the type of person that if you didn't look very, very closely at his entire past, dig up all of his smaller, varying, infractions, you would never suspect him and he would have gotten away with the murders.

Do you see the similarities in style between Robinson and the LISK that I do?
Yes. They are in the same waters but different boats. I imagine that LISK is one charming man. He has to be if he was able to convince some of his victims to leave their cell phones at home. He has a grooming style. I think he dated some of those girls a few times before he killed them and he most likely treated them like a queen. On that final date he probably presented to them something like this: "I want you to hang out with me tonight and tomorrow. What do you say that we just paint the town tonight and tomorrow we'll go shopping? Don't bring anything out with you because you're going to need the space after our shopping spree, Dollface. I think you're a real sweet girl and I just wanna do something nice for you." I mean he really gased her up with a mix of humor in his presentation. "Don't bring a cell phone, don't bring a pocket book with the little make-up thingy case you chicks gotta have--NONE OF THAT! You'll be able to buy all that you need tomorrow. We are going to have a nice dinner, maybe catch a show...whatever it is that you wanna do. Don't worry about how much, the cost...and on top of all of that, I'll send you home with $1500 for your trouble of allowing me to spoil you."
He probably made them feel like they were a hoe that was about to turn into a housewife.
They know he drives a real nice car, he's clean cut, friendly and his whole aura broadcasts that he is a man of importance. My heart becomes heavy as I imagine what was going through their minds as they witnessed that mask slide off his face and realized that they were looking into the eyes of the devil.
