There is something weirdly funny in all those SKs selling themselves as "experts" after they got caught. Already Bundy offered to help the Greenriver Killer (which turned out to be Ridgway), but as Keppler stated "while he was not much help in the ongoing investigation, it offered some insights in his (Bundy's) mind".
Now, we had a good example from Rifkin.
And then, we have the mysterious, the ghostly and gharstly, the murderous and homicidal ... (drums, please) ... THIRTEEN. Oh yeah, I love that guy. Not only that his "handler" is the guy who runs the S.T.A.L.K. site, he is also the one who messed up Atlantic City with an incomplete and sloppy profile. Which probably is a sign, he gets old, because I still remember the days, Kelly was good. Now, he handles an alleged serial killer for a TV show. A serial killer, who basically tells only about the unsubs, a blind man with a stick can see. General notions at best. Self-reflections.
See, if someone learns from caught serial killers, he doesn't leanr "from the best". If those guys would be that good, they wouldn't have been caught in the first place, right? Now, the reason, most serial killers are caught (aside of dumb luck on the LE side), is, they need things from their murders. It's obsessive, it's driving and it takes their whole lives. So logically, whenever you ask a serial killer about another serial killer, he will give you what he would do, why he would chose those victims, what dump site he would have used (instead of the one actually used in the actual case) and so on. He doesn't know more, but additionally, he is hampered by his need to project his dreams, his wishes, his needs on the new murders. So, how on Earth can someone assume, those guys can catch another SK? That's not even their feeding pattern.
