because they serially kill the people following them
borderline cult was a story about three serial killers not based a true serial killer.
Wikipedia serial killers by country. This lists both sexes so you will have to pick out the females as needed. ANSWER: Wilkipedia's list of female serial killers is woefully out of date. There are well over 600 known cases. The best (by far) introduction to the "worst" female serial killers is: The World's Creepiest Female Serial Killers. (online)
I don't think so.
So far it no so. The closest active serial killer or serial killers are in two cities in Massachusetts, the cities of Hudson and Marlborough. These cities are located close to one another. They have experienced the deaths of a couple of people that seem suspicious.
Italy had some serial killers during the last century. One odd serial killer to come across is Leonarda Cianciulli, the so-called "Soap-Maker of Correggio" who murdered three women in Correggio between 1939 and 1940, and turned their bodies into soap. Italian authorities have an issue divulging on going investigations. That is why this question is hind of hard to answer. The best answer you could get is that most probably there is one. The fact is that a number of Serial Killers over the years have committed serial murder in Italy a no person have been apprehended.
So many factors must be considered that it is impossible to get an accurate number of serial killers in a certain place and time. Serial killings may be mistaken as a regular murder; a body may never be discovered; they may think that the victim simply ran away or left.
Many serial killers feel like they are smarter than everyone else so they figure that they can and should be able to get away with it. Others have very serious mental issues due to their poor upbringings.
Most experts agree that at any given time, there could be as many as 200 serial killers active in the US alone. World Wide it would increase, of course. The average serial killer can be responsible for up to 20 murders if they are caught. Keep in mind that some of these killers may never be caught. That would put their body count even higher. The average time frame to catch a serial murderer is 18 months. This is much less time than it used to be. With modern forensics and criminal profiling it is taking less time to apprehend such criminals.
Because of the way a lot of serial killers work it is almost impossible to tell which cities have killers or not. These types of killers move around so much. Different cities, along major freeways and highways, dumping bodies far from where they were taken from. And prostitutes are a popular target for serial killers. Prostitutes are notorious for moving around also. They go from city to city sometimes. Some will be missing for months before anyone gets worried, and files a missing person's report with police. It must be emphasized that serial killers can pop up anywhere. In small towns, (although its harder to hide anything in a small community), big cities, ect. Although the US has a large percentage of these killers, they are not confined to any one country or area. Additional fact:The FBI estimates that there could be up to 100 serial killers at work in the US at any given time.
With so many serial killers not identified, there can not be statistics showing the population of the world's serial killer. 76% of the world's serial killers are in America is a statistic based ongoing studies. The United States only has about seven percent of the world's population, but has been home to over 76% of its serial killers.
Cuz they are =p
There have been two. Dagmar Overbye in 1921. Peter Lundgin in 1991. Compared with the United States, two killers almost a century apart doesn't sound so bad.
