[@polishherowitoldpilecki5521]

Henk Van de Goor I dont know, maybe. They were 28 killing, he may be involved in a few. But I believe the KKK and other pedophiles were involved for the rest. There’s no sufficient evidence linking him to certain child murders, only male adult males.

Thank you so much for covering Robert Ressler's work. John Douglas is more well known, possibly because he's written more books, but Ressler's contribution to the field cannot be understated. His book Whoever Fights Monsters is a fantastic read!

[@graze105]

Robert Ressler was my uncle. Great guy and he is missed.

[@tubhair]

If you’re interested in this kind of stuff, Mindhunter by John Douglas is a must read. One of the many insights I’m fascinated by is the feeling of regret and remorse some of the killers would experience after killing. They would promise themselves never to do it again, until the “pressure” would build up and they had to kill again. This is in direct contrast to what we tend to believe happens. That being that the serial killer could just turn it on and off at will. Many of them (certainly not all) would suffer great pangs of guilt and an unbearable conscience, vowing to stop killing and straighten out. Only to do it again.

[@zackosteen749]

Of all the serial killers studied, Dahmer was one of the most troubled and he actually felt remorse for the killings...unlike Gacy. Not that I sympathize in any way, but it’s different than most serial killers.

Not proud of this fact, but I served time in prison in California from 1997-2004. During a couple of those years, after two strokes, I was sent to what was known as CMF (California Medical Facility at Vacaville). There, I met Ed Kemper, who to me was a really nice guy. He'd bring by his bible, and we'd sit reading verses together; sometimes he'd bring me books. This was part of his prison job as a Pastoral Care Services worker. I never felt any qualm of fear, and Ed was always respectful and, unlike most other convicts, spoke without using profanity. It just goes to show you how little we understand the human mind and what atrocities we are capable of.

[@LB-ou8wt]

@@BookWarrior9 Some people are some people aren't. Just like not every kid who experience atrocious abuse doesn't necessarily abuse, or become an addict, or whatever. People are different. A lot of people will act differently than they think, and for sure there are people who would dismiss that idea who would be exactly that type, but really people are different and react very differently to life circumstances, including horrible life circumstances.

[@BookWarrior9]

@@LB-ou8wt I apologize in advance for the length, but this is an issue I am passionate about. First off, I was responding to Thomas Darby's comment that he would have run away from Kemper's mother if he was him. Often in abusive situations due to the emotional abuse they are enduring, the victim believes they deserve the abuse, that they couldn't get away, or couldn't survive on their own. This and the fact that they likely love their abuser, especially a kid, are why they don't leave and feel like they can't get away no matter what - leading to Kemper feeling he needed to kill her but being afraid to and deflecting that anger to other people. This is something very commonly misunderstood about abuse. Everyone says they would run away or leave, but that's misunderstanding the issue. The victim stays because they feel they have no options and he was a child, so he probably didn't either and the abuse likely started very early in his development. My point was to not just put yourself in another person's shoes, but in their history, mental state, personality to understand why they acted a certain way and that it's not so easy to say you wouldn't have done the same thing if you were them (in this case staying with his mother). As for your point, I agree. I actually come from some pretty awful circumstances myself and I didn't end up repeating those patterns - but it's been and still is a lot of work and specifically because I had the right people come into my life at the right time. I know that. A person's biology also has a lot to do with it as well as the coping mechanisms learned before.. I think it's 3 or 4 years old? Those are with you forever. I'm not excusing his actions (at all). He was obviously mentally ill and smart enough to even know that about himself and talk circles around the professionals. But if we vilify and focus on that instead of trying to understand, then we have no chance of rehabilitation or helping the next kid before they get to that point.

My mother was almost a victim of Ted Bundy. She fit the looks of most of his victims. It was in Feb of 1978 in Jacksonville, Florida. She remembered coming out of a shopping center and waited on my father who was using the restroom at the time when he pulled up to her in the FSU van he stole and he tried to get her in the vehicle saying he was lost and needed directions. She was wary and backed up some and told him to buzz off and he pressed her for more help until my dad came up to her and made a quip about FSU sucking since he was a Gator fan and how Noles always get lost. He directed him to the highway and walked with my mom to the car. She always said he gave her the major creeps and wouldn’t have gotten into the van at any cost. I think that’s what saved her and since I wasn’t born until 1984 I was also saved in the long run. She doesn’t like talking about her run in with that killer. My dad before he passed away spoke of remembering that jerk since he thought his wife was being hit on and told me the night a few months later they saw his mug plastered on the tv screen and found out he was a serial killer. My mom told me at that moment she got cold and shivered. My dad got enraged and wanted to kill the jerk himself. I think he realized what could have happened.

I think 120-140 IQ killers are more dangerous because while very smart they tend to be more well spoken and therefore manipulative.

Chase was more of a spree killer than a serial killer

My grandmother worked at the murray federal building in downtown st louis in 77' when the east coast sniper was still roaming around killing civil rights leaders. She worked as the secretary for the head of the st louis branch of the IRS, which at the time handled everything west of the Mississippi river. Her boss was 100% a desk jockey, stereotypical accountant type. But when that sniper came to town she found out he always carried his .45 service pistol from ww2. They locked down the building, posted guards and every federal agent in that building hit the streets, even the guy in charge of half the country's tax returns. She said it was all very surreal, especially being in the tallest building in the city at the time and being able to see every street and alley and park crawling with police. And they didnt catch that guy for a while after that, there were special measures to get into the building for a long time after that. She said the mood really changed after a time, like being under an invisible siege. Scary stuff

You would think serial killing is exclusively an american thing from this video, but the most prolific of all time is Harold Shipman, who was british. Russia has had its share as well and are frightening.

They are flesh and blood people with families, just like the rest of us. ;)

[@hectormed9446]

They are everywhere but the highest concentration is in America for sure

[@SpeedbirdNine9]

Chikitillo in Russia, the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.

[@lesleyleith4440]

snow man Harold Shipman is haughty to have killed over two hundred people, very prolific.

The depictions of the killers in the Netflix adaptation of "Mindhunter" are incredibly accurate, but the depictions of the FBI team are entirely made up fiction and NOTHING like reality.

Well done!

Simon, The city of Mobile, Al, is pronounced Mo (Larry&Curly's brother) Beal (like Beal St in Memphis Tn. Love your videos! Let me know if you ever need help with Southern names or places. (Southern USA that is!). Love your work.

[@barneynedward]

You mean Shemp and Curly's brother. None of the other storages were related to them.

[@jevinday]

I'm shocked right now, I've totally read a book about this! It was written by James Brussel, one of the men you're talking about. It's called Casebook of a Crime Psychiatrist. I didn't realize that Mindhunter and this video were based on those cases. I couldn't recommend the book more, it's one of my favourite nonficion books. What a weird world!

[@saturn1413]

I watch so much of this stuff on criminal minds and it actually made me want to be apart of the bau when I start a career

[@friday26th]

Kemper is still alive, and probably still stands somewhere between 6"5 and his prime 6"9 if we consider old age.

[@augustussutton2379]
