Was Charles Whitman considered a serial killer?
Whitman falls into the group called spree killers. They are a completely different breed of killer. They are usually motivated by anger and revenge on a world that does not understand them and has treated them poorly. These types of killers a lot of times plan on suicide or death by police gunfire. They don't want to be taken alive. They want to 'get back' and then 'check out'. And usually these crimes have nothing to do with sex or sexual fantasies, which is the driving force with most serial killers.

What made Jack the Ripper be a serial killer?
The 'making' of a serial killer is a very complex process that is not fully understood at this time. It is thought though that it is a combination of genetics and environment, or the 'nature and nurture' theory. Rarely, a person may have a certain genetic predisposition and when combined with the exact right environment, especially at a young age, the result could be what we know as a serial killer. The best examples of this would be killers Jeffrey Dahmer and Aileen Wuornos. Dahmer's father confessed to having violent fantasies as a young man. These types of fantasies are what drive these killers to kill over and over. This trait in his father almost certainly predisposed Jeffrey to the same thing. Then when mixed with environmental factors, the result was a serial killer. Wuornos had strong genetic ties to violence. Although they had never met, her biological father was also a killer and a pedophile. She was raised by her maternal grandparents after being abandoned by her teenaged mother, and was subject to untold abuse at the grandfather's hands. So the combination of her strong predisposition to violence and the abusive grandfather, once again, the result was a killer. The FBI's Behavioral Science Unit has been studing serial killers for over three decades and have made great strides in the understanding of this rare type of killer, but there is still much they don't understand. Until a time when the reasons are fully understood, they have little chance of preventing serial murder.

The killer's name is Jasper 'Buddy' Noone.
