Could be a number of things, could be he never stopped or could be a copy cat anything of that nature. Could even be like the guy who did the green river killings... you just never know what kinda person you are dealing with.

hey sylphette, I just read about 13 chapters on the BTK murder (bind, torture, kill) I got tons of info from www.courttv.com it just took me awhile to find the chapters. Im not actually sure that he did stop killing during that time or he was just satisfied with the pics he took,maybe we will get lucky and he will share all the details with the public.

Thanks gilly, I will check that website out. I am just interested in the "why" of serial killers, we don't get many here in Australia, so when it comes to profiling all the cases we study are from the USA and the UK.

On a bit of an off note on this case; his son is in the next town over from us.

illy is the expert on serial killers.













Gilly is the expert on serial killers.

When she gets better after the baby, Rylie, we are thinking of having a book club on true crime, and also books on prison conditions and then share information and trade books maybe,

If anyone wants to they can participate. i'm very interested in how this serial killing comes about, and also intested in books about prison conditions, like the book. "Within these Walls" about a chaplain's experiences and career in Huntsville, and he was the chaplain for the death row inmates. it's a great book and he makes you feel like you are right there. It's written by Rev. Caroll, and it should be available from the library,

Diane

Hi Gilly,

Nay, I did a bit of reading about the victims but not much else. Just wonder how they go about doing these horrendous crimes, then go home to their loving family and have dinner! Like a double life, maybe thats the thrill, him harbouring this secret life from his family.

i read the article in our newspaper - now bearing in mind that this man got to OUR newspapers, which are only usually full of adverts and how to make ones self more beautiful by spending copious amounts of money, this is saying something in itself....
what was the outcome? has anything more been said on this topic??? has the man spoken publically yet???
