Out of 78.74 years, let’s say that the average person is ambulatory and social for 75 of them. That’s 75 years, or 27,375 days (not counting leap years) during which you might walk past a murderer.

One third of murders go unsolved, so 1.5 murders per 100,000 people go unsolved. Extending on the basis of our third assumption, that means that the rate of unapprehended murderer in the US is 1.5 per 100,000 people, or 4838 at any given time. 

At 26.2 new people per day, the average American meets 717,225 people throughout their lives, of which 10.76 are likely to be unapprehended murderers.


lol ever come across a random baw who you feel may be 1 of your 36?

What about “looking in a mirror” statistics?

At last count, I've personally known four confirmed murderers in my life.

If you’ve been to a UF game in the swamp you encountered thousands.

Unfortunately some people definitely stand next to a murderer one time.

I feel like this would vary widely by area and region.

It’s not randomly distributed

By calculating the distributed average, we find that (20% * 1) + (20% * 100) + (60% * 10) =  26.2 new people per day.

lol

The buzz kill side of me can't help but wonder if that statistic is talking cold blooded murder or just someone who has found themselves in the unfortunate circumstance of having to kill someone.

I knew a guy is HS that became a serial killer. We've gotten drunk and gone fishing together before. Glad he didn't whack me

You do realize your link comes up with fewer than 11 murderers, on average, and they pulled the new people per day number out of their arse.

A couple were childhood friends, people I haven't seen in decades. One was a tenant in our rental property. The fourth was an in-law.

I have a friend who shot and killed a CA state police officer. I can say with certainty that I've been around him more than 36 times.

Yeah, I don't think I meet nearly that many people. 26 a day? What is your definition of "meet?"
