I just wanted to share this case study I came across today. A lot of similarities stand out to me between JC & the serial killers studied in this case.

A total of 7 SKs were studied and here are a few details about four of them:
SK #1
W/M/30s - 17 victims ranging from 21 to 41 years of age
Strangled victims; used various methods of disposal--water, wooded areas, discarded with other trash or old furniture (like mattresses)
3 victims were dismembered & he scattered their remains around a metro area
He said he took advantage of opportunities that arose; claimed all victims had consensual sex with him prior to the killing
Aimless, transient lifestyle allowed him to evaluate and mentally map areas to later strategize how he would dispose of future victims
SK #2
W/M/25
Heavy coke and alcohol user; felt rage towards women
He put his 2nd victim's corpse in her car and disposed of her on the side of well-traveled road and then drove her car thru several states
Pathological liar, manipulative, shallow affect, but no other signs of psychopathy
SK #3
W/M/32 - transient; used drugs and alcohol
6 victims
Criminal history of battery, robbery, larceny, drug possession, alcohol related offense
He said he did not care if he got caught because he assumed it was inevitable
Manipulative nature; Used nearby weapons and exercised little planning
SK #4
W/M/35 - 8 victims ranging from 8-55
Previous crimes include assault, burglary, larceny, armed robbery, auto theft
Impulsive and manipulative
Lacked ability or desire to set or maintain long term goals
Had constant need for stimulation
Preferred weapon was knife
He believed he was successful as a killer because he could fit in while embracing his rage without anyone suspecting he could commit such crimes.

Just a little food for thought....
