Actually Janeumayer, if JM is responsible for HG and MH's abduction/murder, he will be labeled a serial killer by the FBI as of 09/02/2005.

FBI Definition of Serial Murder; September 2, 2005
The different discussion groups at the Symposium agreed on a number of similar factors to be included in a definition. These included:
one or more offenders
two or more murdered victims
incidents should be occurring in separate events, at different times
the time period between murders separates serial murder from mass murder
In combining the various ideas put forth at the Symposium, the following definition was crafted:
Serial Murder: The unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events.
Oooh! Thanks for the heads up! It used to be 3 or more!
