New research claims female serial killers are ‘more motivated by money than sex-driven male killers.’

Women mass murderers are more likely to be driven by money than their male counterparts who typically kill for sexual gratification, a new study claims.

Harrison said in an interview with Penn State to promote her new publication: ‘There’s so much rumour and gossip about serial murderers, but the field lacks information on female serial killers. Martha Patty Cannon, who killed men, women and children in 19th century America, as well as selling her victims into slavery, is explored as a case study in Harrison’s book

Describing a hypothetical female serial killer, Harrison said: ‘My colleagues and I came up with a composite based on statistics. She’s probably white, married at least once, maybe multiple times. Male mass murderers, by contrast, usually kill for sexual gratification and are considered a greater risk to strangers, whom they very often stalk prior to an attack.
