A FACADE OF NORMALCY: AN EXPLORATION INTO THE SERIAL MURDERER’S DUPLICITOUS LIFESTYLE by Maryann Stone White B.A. May 2006, University of South Florida M.A. May 2008, East Tennessee State University A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Old Dominion University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY December 2014 Approved by: Dawn L. Rathe ison Chappell ( George Cronin (Member) ABSTRACT A FACADE OF NORMALCY: AN EXPLORATION INTO THE SERIAL MURDERER’S DUPLICITOUS LIFESTYLE Maryann Stone White Old Dominion University, 2014 Director: Dr. Dawn L. Rothe The crime of serial murder both fascinates and repulses a myriad of academic disciplines, law enforcement agencies, news media, and popular culture. Despite the vast attention the phenomenon of serial murder has received, serial murderers are poorly understood. The current study used an interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from criminology and psychology to explore what mechanism(s) allow serial murderers to maintain a seemingly normal existence, frequently maintaining personal relationships, steady employment, and reputable social networks. The data were analyzed using a deductive approach guided by a set of research questions as well as an inductive approach, which allowed emergent themes and patterns to be identified. Findings indicate that these offenders demonstrate some psychopathic traits and show some evidence of learning and neutralizing their behavior. The results suggest, however, that these criminological and psychological elements do not sufficiently explain how serial murderers are able to deceive others into believing that they live a normal existence. Overall, the findings suggest that while it appears that serial murderers are able to live a duplicitous lifestyle, there are typically red flags that could alert others to their criminal behavior. Limitations of the research, as well as implications for prevention, intervention, and future research are also discussed. Copyright, 2014, by Maryann Stone White, All Rights Reserved.

And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow.” -Ted Bundy “Do I look like the Green River Killer?” -Gary Ridgway V ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project ended up being quite the journey. But, I would have never completed it without the help and support of several people. First, I would like to sincerely thank my committee members: Dr. Scott Maggard, Dr. Allison Chappell, and Dr. George Cronin. Thank you for your guidance, patience, and support throughout the completion of this project. A very special thank you goes to my dissertation chair, Dr. Dawn Rothe. You believed in me and assured me that I could do this when I was unsure that I could. When I didn’t even know where to begin, your guidance helped me find my way. You stuck by me, continued to support me, and encouraged me to study something that I am truly passionate about, even if others may not share in the same passion. I can’t express my gratitude enough. To my family, my rock. I never could have made it here without you. You have never once given up on me and for your never-ending love and support I will never be able to thank you enough. Mom, Dad, and Robby - you guys have supported me and believed in me through it all. I will forever be grateful to you for everything you have done and continue to do for me. Brian - thank you for all that you do and have done to allow me to complete this project. Thank you for putting up with all of the serial killer books and “stuff’ throughout the house - 1 know others find my research a bit unconventional (to say the least), but it meant everything to me to be able to complete a project on something that truly fascinates me. You have continued to support me and believe in me and I will always be grateful for that. I love you and I can’t wait to see vi what the future holds for our family. Madelyn Shae - you came along unexpectedly in the middle of all this and changed my world in more ways than you’ll ever know. You are my heart. Although this has been a long road, I hope that I can show you how to always follow your dreams and to never give up. Thanks for putting up with the “monsters” and for showing me that no matter how hard something may be, you can do whatever you put your mind to.

Over the past few decades, our society has become intrigued with the crime of serial murder as evidenced by the many books, movies, and television shows that have emerged on the subject (Egger 1990; Egger 1998a; Jenkins 1994; Surette 1998).

SWINTON ON THE AUTHENTICATION OF DIGITAL IMAGES∗ Catherine Guthrie∗∗ Brittan Mitchell∗∗∗ I. INTRODUCTION “[T]he machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.”1 Nowhere is this more apparent than in the struggle between rules of law and scientific and technological advances. Our court system’s response to this challenge is scrutiny and adaptability, two traits evidenced by the ebb and flow of requirements for authentication of digital images. This Article examines the evolution of authentication re- quirements for digital images, with particular emphasis on the impact of State v. Swinton.2 Part II of this Article provides an overview of digital images as well as the general rationale for their authentication. Part III reviews past statutory and common law rules for establishing the authenticity of such evidence. Part IV summarizes Swinton, a 2004 case from Connecticut which represents a major development in this area of law. Part V ap- plies the holding from Swinton to a new type of digital evidence, virtual autopsies, in a theoretical context. The Article concludes in Part VI. ∗ © 2007, Catherine Guthrie and Brittan Mitchell.

    2020 DNA Hit of the Year Top 17 Cases Version 4/27/2020, with Addendum * All addenda written by submitters. 1. Headless Outlaw’s Torso in Old Lava Tube Name of Submitter: Clark County Sheriff Bart May Location: Dubois, Idaho, U.S.A. Agency: Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho Date of Crime: 1916 Date and Type of Hit: 2018-2019 (genetic genealogy to match with general family tree); 2018-2019 (familial match with living grandson to confirm family relationship) Executive Summary: 100-year-old unidentified human remains found in an old lava tube in 1979 leads to a cold case identification effort that lasts many years. However, his head was never located, baffling the FBI and other investigators for years. They could only establish that he was of European descent, with reddish-brown hair, and was about 40-years-old at the time of death. His arms, hand, and legs were found in 1991. Over the years, investigators enlisted the help of Idaho State University and its team of forensic genetic genealogists (anthropology students and staffers). This also included experts from the Smithsonian Institution and the FBI. Last year investigators further enlisted the help of the DNA Doe Project, hoping to use DNA and ancestral analysis to identify the man. Experts from Othram, a forensic DNA analysis company, analyzed samples taken from the remains, while a forensic genealogist from the DNA Doe Project worked with her colleagues to build a ‘genealogical tree’. The man’s DNA profile was then uploaded to various genetic genealogy DNA databases for relatives. This led to the man’s living 87-year-old grandson, whose sample was taken and tested to confirm a familial relationship.

  • Policyspace Is an Empirical Platform, Adjusted for the Case of 333 Brazilian Municipalities Located in the 46 Population Concentration Areas
    formato 16x23 cm 8mm de lombada The future is not predictable. It is created. Ipea’s mission Contextually and gradually, with small advances, Enhance public policies that are essential to Brazilian development understandings and adaptations, corrections upon by producing and disseminating knowledge and by advising corrections. The future is negotiated – and emerges the state in its strategic decisions. as an inexorable result of social, institutional and political interactions. Public policies – as a tenuous concept of planning, a vehicle of societal interests – balance, evaluate, contain visions (predominantly public) that guide, direct, drive optimal social development. Future is a scenario of uncertainties. A scenario of social complexity in which policy proposals are made by the society, guided by the managers. Public managers, who seek to mediate policies and their multiplicity of eects, typical eects of complex systems, to the maximum extent that circumstances allow. Given this context, the purpose of this book is to oer an additional tool of modeling to society in general and to managers of the res publica in particular. Not only conceptually, abstractly – but as a concrete tool, available and adaptable. In fact, PolicySpace is an empirical platform, adjusted for the case of 333 Brazilian municipalities located in the 46 population concentration areas. This set of metropolises is home to most of Brazil’s socio-eco- nomic strength, but also its greatest challenges. The core idea of PolicySpace’s platform is to allow the analysis of alternatives – many alternatives – for the implementation of ex-ante public policies. That is, to anticipate, circumstantially, eects, developments, future results of changes, in the present; to analyze interactions between portions of society and institutions, in space and time.

Serber was reviewed and approved* by the following: Rosa A. Eberly Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences and English Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Stephen H.

Wilson Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Greg Eghigian Associate Professor of Modern History Denise Haunani Solomon Liberal Arts Research Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Head of the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT This dissertation explores how members of various publics respond to “targeted violence,” a broad term that encompasses a variety of attacks in which an individual, pair, or small group attacks as many people as possible in a public place. Building upon Albert O. Hirschman’s The Rhetoric of Reaction and contemporary versions of classical stasis theory, the project develops an anatomy of arguments that people have made in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Isla Vista attack (#YesAllWomen). The chapter on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting advances the concept of a rhetorical void, which describes the space into which arguments about guns, mental illness, and school security disappear after conversations about them reach impasses.
