I'm going to give up on trying to explain my point. Klunder, as far as we know, was NOT a serial killer, he was a child abductor/murderer. If you wish to continue educating us about serial killers, that's fine.
But in the case of Lyric and Lizzie, I prefer to focus on the characteristics of someone who would abduct and kill two children. That is statistically a very rare crime, and thus the perpetrator is unique among killers. IMO, I believe comparing this type of killer to a "traditional" serial killer is counterproductive and doesn't help figuring out who killed our girls.

Anne Marie lived only 10 blocks from 15 yr old Ted Bundy, the local paperboy, and followed him around like a puppy. She awoke one night to tell her parents her little sister was sick, then the small blonde girl presumably returned to bed. But the next morning, she was nowhere to be found, and a window facing the front street was wide open. The child was in her nightgown when she vanished. Despite a huge effort on the Tacoma police's part, the little girl was never found.

The pretty, dark eyed, dark haired pre-teen was a small girl, 5 ft tall and 100 lbs. She was very excited the day she disappeared. She'd just been elected first runner up to the Valentine Queen at her junior high. Feb 9 was a rainy, windy day in Lake City. When she arrived at her PE class, she remembered leaving her purse in her homeroom class. Her teacher let her run off to get it. This meant dodging from one building to another. Kim's friend went with her, and as they started back to PE, her friend remembered something she herself had to retreive.
Kim kept going, and when her friend came back outside, she was alarmed to see the little girl going off with a man.
Many witnesses that day remember seeing the little girl with an angry man, and he simply looked like a father who'd been called to school to take a naughty child home. They remembered the girl was crying. No one thought anything of it.The school called her home later that afternoon to routinely check on why she hadn't attended the rest of her classes. Her parents knew instantly that something was wrong--Kim didnt skip school, and she was very dependable.
She hadnt come home. They contacted the authorities, who went on the typical "run away" theory, but her parents knew she was too happy about the Valentine election, and she had absolutely no reason to be upset enough to run off.
After 8 weeks of heavy searching, the bare bones of the girl who'd been thrilled to become runner up in the Valentine court, were found in a pigpen. There was evidence of sexual assault, but no head trauma. It appeared that she had been strangled, but the decomposition made it difficult to tell.
