Experts don't know everything about what elements go into the making of a serial killer but there are certain similarities in most of these type of killers. They seem to be a mixture of nature and nurture. Heredity may play a factor, as does abuse. Most people think that serial killing is about sex. It's not. It's about control and power over another human. Power to take life is sexually arousing to a very small percent of individuals.

And the motor that runs the beast are these individuals violent fantasies. In their cooling-off break they will feel normal for a certain amount of time. And then they begin to fantasize until they have to murder again.
