What type of serial killer was Edmund kemper and why?

Answer 1

Ed Kemper got 7 life terms out his 10 crimes committed. His motives are well described since he is still alive. He murdered 6 college girls he picked up hitchhiking for what he thought would count as revenge for his mother's bad treatment. He already killed his grandparents and did time for the crime.

Kemper displayed sociopathic and passive-aggressive behavior from a young age: he tortured and killed animals, acted out bizarre sexual rituals pretending he was dying in the gas chamber with his sisters' dolls, was a pyromaniac, and once when his sister asked him to kiss a teacher he had a crush on, he replied "if I kiss her I would have to kill her first". Kemper also claimed that he displayed all signs of the Macdonald triad as a young child.

After getting out of prison, he was sent to live with his mother. One day after arguing with his mother, he picked two girls from the college shot them and ripped them apart. He got tired of that since his mother did not change at all after his murders. He ended the spree by murdering his mother's friend after he killed his mother. The next day he turned himself in.

//Kemper is classified as an organized killer. Organized serial killers can be difficult to apprehend. They are careful and typically have a higher IQ than the non-organized type. Kemper is in the same group as Ted Bundy. Bundy was extremely careful until he began to disintigrate mentally, which resulted in the murders in Florida that ultimately ended his criminal career and his life in the electric chair.//
