The word meaning child serial killer?
For some odd reasons some serial killers choose children as prey. Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo was a notorious Russian children serial killer who also killed women.
Is Jack the ripper a vampire?
There is every indication that he was not. Homosexual serial killers will usually kill men and/or boys. Jeffrey Dahmer killed young boys and men. John Wayne Gacy's victims were all male. Wayne Williams, the Atlanta Child killer, killed mostly boys and young men. I think he did kill one or two girls. Jack The Ripper killed women, prostitutes to be precise. He was most likely a heterosexual man with an extreme hatred of women. There are still some people that think the Ripper was a woman (Jill The Ripper). This is rediculous too. He was a man, most likely white under the age of 30. This is not entirely speculation, but based on what is now known about serial murderers.
A serial killer and an alcoholic are the same right?

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". The problem with using a definition based strictly on three victims omits the two-time signature killer who has obsessive qualities and would be expected to continue to kill.
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.
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.
