You can start talking what a serial killer is. If I were you, I would put the serial killers myths after that. For example a well known myth is that serial killers are from realy smart to genius. In reality, serial killers are of average intelligence. Clearly, they never really made use of their brains which explains why most have low level jobs and make poor decisions. In fact, it is exactly these poor decisions that get them in trouble on their jobs, in their relationships, and in their crimes.

Take a look at Ted Bundy. It is said how terribly smart he was; that this is why it took so long to catch him. Is this the same Ted who couldn't make it through law school.

Ted was finally caught, not by clever investigative work but because he was caught speeding. He was so bright that he lied to the police officer about seeing a movie the cop knew didnt exist and then he let the police officer look into his trunk and note his rather obvious rape kit. Ted was by no means brilliant and it was the solid work of a beat cop that got a killer off the streets.

The reason serial killers could take long in aprehending is the fact the victim is not know to him and most of the times there are no witness. Authorities could not connect serial killers like a woman killed by her husband.

A serial killer that had a brialliant mind with an high IQ is also known as Ted. The unabomber. He was brilliant in math a held a respective career as a teacher until he quit. He was not fired.

A myth that bothers a lot to me is that Serial Killers are caught though DNA banks, profiles, and brilliant police deduction. he majority of the time it is not brains that catches serial killers. Usually it is just dumb luck. Ted was speeding. One Alabama serial killer was doing just fine until he took a girl out to the woods to kill her. His car got stuck in the mud and he had to call a friend for a tow.

DNA banks only work if you have DNA. Then you have to match that DNA to someone. Either that someone must also be in a bank, like a felon DNA bank, or that person must already be a suspect and agree to the testing.

Other myths about serial killers is you can link a serial killer to crimes by his MO.

This is very wrong. Serial killers, mostly don't kill very often. Really, they don't. Some wait years in between crimes and so when they do cross that line again they may fix something that didnt work last time or didnt feel right last time or didnt give enough of a thrill last time. A serial killer may decide to change from stabbing to strangling because last time he cut himself and he got too much blood in the car. He may decide he wants more time with the victim so he moves from an outside location to an inside location. He may decide to tie up the victim this time because the last one was hard to handle and it really ticked him off.

Another myth is that serial killers are all dysfunctional loners. Serial murderers often have families and homes, are gainfully employed, and appear to be normal members of the community. Because many serial murderers can blend in so effortlessly, they are oftentimes overlooked by law enforcement and the public.

You can strees that Serial murder is neither a new phenomenon, nor is it uniquely American. Dating back to ancient times and work a little on that and in the fact that serial murder is a relatively rare event, estimated to comprise less than one percent of all murders committed in any given year.

You have to understand that much of the general public's knowledge concerning serial murder is a product of Hollywood productions. Story lines are created to heighten the interest of audiences, rather than to accurately portray serial murder. By focusing on the atrocities inflicted on victims by "deranged" offenders, the public is captivated by the criminals and their crimes. This only lends more confusion to the true dynamics of serial murder.
