Aileen Wuornos is an example of a disorganized killer. //Actually, Aileen Wuronos has characteristics of both organized and disorganized behaviours. Not only did her crimes display premeditation, but they required a thinking, rational mind and a certain organized thinking process. In order to carry out her criminal acts without detection, Wuornos came prepared with the murder weapon, picked her victims and used the guise of sex to lure them to isolated areas, executed them, robbed them, and used and then disposed of their vehicles, which she scrubbed clean before abandoning them. These are behaviours of an organized killer. An example of her disorganized traits included leaving the bodies of her victims in open areas with little attempt to conceal them. In conclusion, it is quite common for serial killer to have behaviours of both organized and disorganized, sometimes refered to as 'mixed'.

Organized And Disorganized
Actually, Jack The Ripper had organized and disorganized charachteristics. His victims seemed to have been chosen at random, or at least with little planning. They may have just been in the wrong place when they crossed paths with this killer. Random victim selection is a disorganized trait. On the other hand, he came prepared with a weapon, possibly disguised, and he seemed to be very familiar with the area in which he killed in. He may have had an escape route planned ahead for easy escape. These are characteristics of the organized killer. Killers that are organized are much more difficult to catch. It is not uncommon for serial killers to have traits of both groups.

The second one was committed by chance and not by intentional motives also so as a killer he was disorganized getting caught both times serving terms.
