I don't know much about serial rapists. (Your knowledge on this topic is astounding, by the way!) I have no problem believing that the KKK has done all kinds of horrible things, but neither Charles Sanders or James Seale fits the definition of a serial killer. Seale killed two men in a single incident and, from what I can tell, Sanders was never even charged with a crime.
Seale was also suspected in being involved in killing seven more in at least four more incidents.
Charles Sanders was never charged because at the time, LE did what they always do after catching an SK - booking all unsolved cases on him. In this case Wayne Williams. Adn when the investigation was re-opened, they found enough probable cause, but Sanders was already dead.
I would be interested to hear about any other examples of racially-motivated serial killers, whether white or black.
Carlton Gary, Lemual Smith ... the only serial rapist in the list in my last post was Bernard Jackson, the Waldo Rapist. I like to include him, because is a very clear example for that kind of victimology.
As I said before, I think the connection is that they're all young-looking. Granted, most escorts are under a certain age, and the youthful look is popular. But combined with their generally unusually small stature and the killer's focus on telephoning an underaged girl, I think he's playing out a fantasy about being with an inappropriately young woman.
So I can agree, they have in common, that they were all younger then menopause age. And the fantast of being with a lot younger aged women would mean either a pedophile (which doesn't hold water here because they were all out of that age, or much much younger as in twenty years younger. Which, considering the age range, LISK is probably in, would place his victims again in the nubiles bracket. So no way, the fantasy of much younger women would take hold in this case in my opinion.
Too much can be made of serial killers' victims needing to resemble one another. The only example you cite is Ted Bundy, and that theory has been mostly debunked from what I understand.
How about you go to my website and look up Alcala? And the thing with similarities is not that simple. Nope, also Bundy's victims didn't look all alike, but all (at least until his spiral down began) had traits in their appearance attracting him. Which btw never was a secret, Bundy admitted to that part himself. Rader reacted to a certain type and at least on a statistical level, I could argue Ridgeay did. The really weird part starts of course with the Hillside Stranglers. Take a closer look and you will find, all their victims are of two different types of appearance except for the first one (who was killed by them for another reason). But all others were either Bianchi's or Buono's taste. Eckert, another case, this time in Germany (I include him, you can read him up on my website too) had this thing with long hair going on. So the idea, that psychopathic sexual predators have no type and therefore their victimologies show no similarities is wrong. However, there is a rare variant, who kills victims all over the spectrum. Albright for example. Sexual predators with a taste for the change. Only they are rare and cross inevitable also ethnicity borders. Which LISK didn't.
I think you are seeing things as binary that are non-binary in nature, such as availability. It's more of a spectrum of availability. Yes, some people can probably be marked down as totally unavailable to a serial killer (maybe the Princess of Wales for instance) but for every other potential victim, the killer has to negotiate between availability, his preferences, and his own internal "need" to kill.
Well, if availability is no issue, then the element of choice would be only stronger, wouldn't it? Which means, you have even harder problems to argue, that availability would be a reason why he didn't kill victims exactly fitting his taste. And btw, you still have to supply the details, in which you think, the GN4 are similar except for being women, Caucasian and under 80 years of age ...
Motives are also non-binary. That's not to say that there are no distinctions between them, but sex and domination are inter-related. People don't go to BDSM clubs to whip people they're not attracted to. These categories are only useful until they're not anymore. Eventually it can be like arguing whether it's a white cow with brown spots or a brown cow with white spots.
People who want to have BDSM go there to have BDSM style sex, right? And they like to whip people they find attractive. So why no torture marks on the GB4?
Of course', people don't go to BDSM clubs, if they want to buy a new car. Different motivation. They may use the car to go to an entirely different place.
He had Melissa's phone. Melissa probably had photos of her sister on her phone. That's how he is most likely to have known that Melissa's sister was biracial and (if we believe the boyfriend) that her boyfriend had tattoos.
I don't know about you, but I don't carry naked pictures of my wife on my cell phone, nor of my brothers ... You know, some of those tattoos would be only visible without clothes, otherwise they would be useless as prove that he had Melissa in the first place?
I don't write an extra response to your other post, since it only repeats the idea of "being with younger women"
