I’ve seen discussion upthread with regard to organized killers. Just so happens I was reading about organized crimes vs. disorganized crimes last night and though I’d share informative article at link below.
After reading and digesting the article, it’s my belief the (alleged) quadruple killer BK, is a mix of organized and disorganized offender with imo a heavy lean toward/more traits of an organized killer. IMO.

“The breakthrough idea of classifying
serial homicide crime scenes according to an
organized/disorganized dichotomy is credited to the late, pioneering FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood. His theory is grounded in a series of in-depth prison interviews with serial predators that were conducted by legendary FBI agents John Douglas and the late Robert Ressler.”
“According to the offender and crime scene dichotomy,
organized crimes are premeditated and carefully planned, so little evidence is normally found at the scene.
Organized criminals, according to the classification scheme, are antisocial (often
psychopathic) but know right from wrong, are not insane and show no remorse.”
“Based on historical patterns,
organized killers are likely to be above average to average
intelligence, attractive, married or living with a domestic partner, employed, educated, skilled, orderly, cunning and controlled. They have some degree of social grace, may even be charming, and often talk and seduce their victims into being captured.”
“With
organized offenders, there are typically three separate crime scenes: where the victim was approached by the killer, where the victim was killed, and where the victim’s body was disposed of.
Organized killers are very difficult to apprehend because they go to inordinate lengths to cover their tracks and often are forensically savvy, meaning they are familiar with police investigation methods. They are likely to follow the news media reports of their crimes and may even correspond with the news media. Ted Bundy, Joel Rifkin, and Dennis Rader are prime examples of organized killers.”
“Disorganized crimes, in contrast, are not planned and the criminals typically leave evidence such as fingerprints or blood at the scene of the murder. There is often no attempt to move or otherwise conceal the corpse after the murder.
Disorganized criminals may be young, under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, or mentally ill. They often have deficient communication and social skills and may be below average in intelligence. The
disorganized offender is likely to come from an unstable or dysfunctional family.”
“Significantly,
disorganized killers will often “blitz” their victims—that is, use sudden and overwhelming force to assault them. The victim’s body is usually left where the attack took place and the killer makes no attempt to hide it. Jack the Ripper is a classic example of the disorganized serial killer.”
“It is also important to note that a serial murder case can also be a
mix of organized and disorganized. This occasionally occurs, for example, when there are multiple offenders of different
personality types involved in the killings. It can also occur when a lone offender is undergoing a psychological transformation throughout his killing
career.”
At the heart of criminal profiling is the idea that serial killer crime scenes can be classified as either "organized" or "disorganized" in presentation.
