Do serial killers target whole families?
While some serial killers may target entire families, this is relatively rare compared to targeting individuals. Those who do may have specific motivations, such as revenge or a desire for control. Many serial killers tend to focus on single victims, often selecting individuals based on certain traits or vulnerabilities. Each case is unique, and the motivations can vary significantly among different killers.

Are serial killers evil by nature?
There is still much about these types of killers that remains unknown.

What happened in the Snowtown bank in Australia?
Murder was carried out in the former bank. The murders were to turn out to be one of Austrila's largest serial killings, and were dubbed The Snowtown Murders, (Bodies in Barrels) murders. John Justin Bunting and Robert Joe Wagner used the former bank's vault to store their victims' bodies in barrels in 1999. Eleven people were murdered between August 1992 and May 1999, which included one victim, murdered in the bank's vault. The victim murdered in the banks vault, was part of the gang that had helped to murder the other ten of the eleven eventual victims. John Bunting (the gang leader), decided to murder one of his gang. Eight bodies were found in barrels.
The gang had chosen hydrochloric acid which mummified the remains, instead of dissolving the remains. Three of the other victims remains were found elsewhere in shallow graves at the gang leaders home. (Now demolished and now housing for the elderly). A film has been made of these grim events called Snowtown, dramatising the murders. More than 250 suppression orders were used, to keep certain details of the case being made public, these orders were overturned and the details made available to the public in 2011.
The building is currently for sale for $200,000 which includes the former bank on the ground floor, with the managers residence above on the upper floor. Due to the public interest and visitors to the town of Snowtown, locals had considered changing the name of the town to 'Rosetown', however the change was never made.

Was the prouty-hammond murders really suicides?
The truth to this matter was never truly discovered. The book "Deliver us From Evil" on this matter was fiction and not fact - though somewhat entertaining. There was an article published however, I believe in the 1920s in what was known as the Police Gazette or such, called "Sinister Halo" which is a far more accurate and interesting take on the deaths at that time and the prominent families involved. It was due to the prominence of these families that the truth was covered up, including Judge in town, Luther Hill. Anyhow - if you really are a fan or looking for info, check out the Spencer Library - they still have copies of Sinister Halo - enjoy. The truth to this matter was never truly discovered.

Paul J. Knowles, born April 17, 1946 in Orlando, Florida did not fall into the usual serial killer's pattern in victim selection. Knowles killed men, women, and children of varing ages as well as friends and aquaintences. He used different methods of murder including strangulation, guns, and bludgening. he killed heterosexuals as well as homosexuals. Some victims were raped, other not. Some seemed to be sexually motivated, others by robbery. his crimes were similar to those of Henry Lee Lucas, although even Lucas was not as diversified as Knowles. He finally met his end after kidnapping and killing a police officer and was killed in a police shootout, having been shot three times by officers.

Pee wee Gaskins first killing was committed by mere chance when in 1946, at the age of 13, a girl he knew interrupted him burglarizing a home.

Did serial killer Eddie Cole receive a letter from the Green River Killer?
According to the true crime book "Silent Rage" by Michael Newton, Cole did receive a letter from someone in Washington State that hinted to be the Green River Killer. Although Newton did not get into much detail he seemed to think the letter was genuine.
I have no idea what has happened to the letter in question. If it can be found handwriting comparison and possibly DNA testing can be preformed to determine the letters' authenticity. It would be interesting to find out one way or another. I'm not sure if someone has asked the Green River Killer himself, Gary Ridgeway is serving multiple life sentences in Walla Walla State Prison in Walla Walla, WA.
