Software that Detects Serial Killers
Posted on 11/22/17 at 9:22 am

Long article in the New Yorker.
quote:
Each year, about five thousand people kill someone and don’t get caught, and a percentage of these men and women have undoubtedly killed more than once.
Hargrove intends to find them with his code, which he sometimes calls a serial-killer detector.
The F.B.I. believes that less than one per cent of the killings each year are carried out by serial killers, but Hargrove thinks that the percentage is higher, and that there are probably around two thousand serial killers at large in the U.S.
...the largest finding of the algorithm, a collection of a hundred unsolved murders of women in the Atlanta area over forty years.

That is jacked up. You have to assume that most are gangbangers killing eachother who will never be caught for that specific murder though more than likely.

Much like the human lie detector, this idea fails.

There are so many serial killers that have killed transient prostitutes for decades.
No one to notice they're missing, no home base, no forensic evidence, etc.
If someone wanted to really badly, it would not be hard to be a serial killer.

Saved for future evidence.

I'm way too lazy and too much of a loud mouth to be a serial killer.
At least an effective one.
ETA:
I do love true crime books and podcasts. This shite fascinates me. The killing fields, etc.

So if we average out about a kill per serial killer per year, then this guy is saying 2/5 of the unsolved murders in the US are the result of a serial killer? Unless, I read that wrong, it seems a bit high.

That's pretty high I think.
The famous ones kill rapidly, but they're famous because they were caught. The guys that have not and will not be caught, kill at a much slower clip I think. 1 every couple years at most IMO.
shite, BTK was caught (because he wanted to be), and only killed 10 in 25 years.
And he was a sick SOB.

Harold Finch created The Machine years ago. FBI is behind in the times yet again.

And to top it off
A travel job like truck driver is probably convenient for them to murder these women

Good grief.

Yeah, the BAU believes a very high percentage of serial killers intentionally choose professions like truck driving that allow them to travel the country alone constantly.
It has as much to do with loathing other people as it does wanting to be able to kill.

That's a really high number of killers out there that we don't hear about very often. I'm sure by far and large these are inner-city murders.

Can't backtrack now, you're on the radar.
Probably leave a cocoon in an orifice, don't you.

Right, but I was trying to average out the likes that kill every few years with the ones who have multiple per year. Like the zodiac claims 37 in a decade and has 7 confirmed in a one year span from 68' to 69'. So I figure one a year is a decent estimate if you average them out
