Introduction II. Case Studies of Serial Murderers A. Christopher Wilder B. John Wayne Gacy C. Edmund Kemper D. Herbert Mullin E. Donald Harvey F. John Norman Collins G. Fritz Haarman H. Edward Gein I. Charles Starkweather J. Nannie Doss K. Theodore Bundy III. Discussion IV. References INTRODUCTION Serial murder is a bizarre, hideous, and all too real phenomenon. Although the incident of serial murder has been well-publicized in recent times, patterned killing has been going on for centuries. Yet, criminologists have had trouble defining serial murder accurately. They have again and again cast the definition of serial killing into the broad definition of mass murder with no distinction being made between the two. Serial murderers are definitely mass murderers in that each serial killer usually kills a large number of people. Although the serial murderer exists within the realm of the mass killer, he possesses distinctions which separate him from the mass killer. Thus, the mass and serial murderers have unique differences in their respective psyches which exclude them from being thought of as one and the same. A volatile anger which burns within him causes the mass murderer to act out with violence. This anger may evolve in a number of years, or it may only instill itself into his character for months or even days. When this wrath explodes, death and dying are the results, and they happen in a relatively short time.

    Black Widows, Sexual Predators, and the Reality of Female Serial Killers Tori W. Rose TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 13, 2019 __________________________________________ William J. Winslade, Ph.D, J.D. Department of Philosophy Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Shannon Bow O’Brien, Ph.D Department of Government Second Reader 1 Abstract Author: Tori W. Rose Title: Black Widows, Sexual Predators, and the Reality of Female Serial Killers Supervising Professors: William J. Winslade, Shannon Bow O’Brien The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the minds of female serial killers, and attempt to create a typology appropriate for understanding their unique psychology. Through an analysis of various mental illnesses, environmental contributors and evolutionary mechanisms, the author highlights the various differences in the minds of male and female serial killers. The author then uses two case studies (Nannie Doss and Aileen Wuornos) to highlight the inadequacies with the current typological standard (the Holmes and DeBurger typology) and provides insight into the minds of these two serial killers. A new hybridized typological system is then suggested merging the Holmes and DeBurger model with the motivational model.
