How can Ed Gein be a serial killer if he only killed two?
When a person decides to become a serial killer, there is a chance he could be aprehended after his second kill. Most researchers define serial killers as having three to four victims, but also includes in his database of serial killers some individuals who "killed only two victims but were suspect in other slayings or in which evidence indicated their intent to kill others".

Why are some people who have killed 2 people classed as serial killers?
The FBI has been debating changing the number of kills for serial murder from three to two. When considering serial murder or as it is sometimes called, 'stranger murder', not every killer fits the description perfectly. An example would be the Yosemite Killer, Cary Stayner. He first killed a mother, daughter and their family friend, and weeks later killed another woman. The first three victims were, for the most part, killed at the same time. Then Stayner had what is called the cooling-off period before killing his next victim. Not all crimes are black-and-white, there are shades of gray. So, although Stayner actually had four victims, it was in only two separate incidents. But Stayner is considered a serial killer. Had he not been caught he would have killed again.

When the identity of a person is not known as a fact, anything could be possible. Now, the Zodiac killer connected to the mafia is highly unprovable. The victims had no connection linking them to the mafia and the victims had no motive for the mafia to murder them. The Zodiac killer had a successful serial killer career. Most serial killers who achieved this are functional psychopaths. That gives us another reason, functional psychopaths aren't team players. The Mafia are team players.

What did Jack The Ripper do his victims?
The crimes of Jack The Ripper remain some of the most brutal in criminal history. Overkill is a gross understatement when speaking of London's most notorious killer. With few exceptions, his victims throat's were cut, several victims were almost decapitated, then they were stabbed, cut open and disembowelled, and mutilated. Some victims were missing internal organs, which is not uncommon for serial killers to take some kind of trophy from their victims as a way to relive the murder over and over again.
