About two thousand serial killers are on the loose, hunting for fresh victims all across the country.
Widespread use of heroin, oxycodone and fentanyl provides serial slayers with a “smokescreen,” Holes said, allowing them to choke or suffocate victims with less violence than would be needed to kill the fully conscious — and to fool investigators, who wrongly assume that drugs are to blame. “Pathologists can write off these cases too fast: ‘This is an OD.’ They’re not paying attention to a small bruise around the neck, especially if the investigator is saying, ‘Let’s kiss this off and get back to the bona fide homicides.’ “
The FBI released portraits drawn by serial killer Samuel Little that depict some of his victims, hoping the drawings might lead to cracking some of the cases.A good number of serial killers are believed to be truckers like the “Happy Face Killer” Keith Jesperson — long-haul drivers who target prostitutes and take advantage of being on the road for weeks at a time to hide their crimes.
Years ago killers like DeAngelo — a terrifying menace who raped 13 and killed 50 and sometimes taunted his victims afterward — didn’t have to worry as much about disguising their whereabouts. DeAngelo pounced on his victims while they slept in their homes, shining a flashlight in their faces so they couldn’t see him. He wore gloves, tied up and blindfolded his targets — typically couples — and carefully mapped out escape routes.
