The corralation of serial killers and Klinefelter's Syndrome is intriguing but unproven. Named for Harry F. Klinefelter in 1942, defined as the condition of an extra chromosome (female) in males. Most people know that an extra chromosome will result in Downs Syndrome, but few know about Klinefelters.

The condition became better-known at the murder trial of New York serial killer Arthur Shawcross. It was used by his defense attorney as an explaination of his client's violence against prostitutes. Other killers that have this condition are:Carl Panzram, Francis Heaulme, Bobby Joe Long, and Richard Speck.*

Further scientific study will be needed before this theory is indeed a fact.

*This is not a complete list.

Why is bedwetting a trait of serial killers?

According to the FBI the most common traits for children that later become serial killers is as follows:Fire starting, cruelty to animals, bed wetting, daydreaming that may turn to violent fantasies, compulsive masterbation and isolation. Many of these traits are common behaviors of abused children, and it is known that a large percentage of serial killers were abused in one way or another, as children. So it is probably accurate to say that many serial killers display behaviors because they were in fact abused. Whether they grow into serial murder or not, abused kids often times suffer from bed wetting. It may be a sign of control. Serial murder is, at it's most basic, about power and control. This fits in with bedwetting as a form of control in a child's life. It has also been theorized that a child wets or soils his/her bed as a means to keep an unwanted sexual abuser at bay. Although probably not a concious decision, it would be an effective way to ward off an unwanted predator. There may be other reasons for the connection of serial killers and childhoold bedwetting which are still an unknown. More study is needed of these very rare type of killers.
