Serial Killer is a designation that depicts a person who commits multiple murders in usually the same manner and of the same type. Most serial killers concentrate on a specific appearance of their victims. An example would be the cases involving Ted Bundy where his victims were young females with long brown hair and a slim body structure. Profilers have attributed his penchant for these women as fitting the image of his mother and a female who shunned him.
