There is no one definite answer. Five different doctors can examine one subject and come up with five different diagnosis. But there most definitely is a high percentage of APD or antisocial personality disorder. Some say as high as 95%. That is probably a pretty good estimate. And it makes sense. It takes a certain personality to kill over and over again, especially stranger murders.

Estimates suggest that around 1% of the population are psychopaths. However, the actual percentage may vary depending on the criteria used to define psychopathy and the population being studied.
