0:00:19.880,0:00:23.071 Over 90% of serial killers are white males. 0:00:23.071,0:00:25.680 Usually from low to middle class backgrounds. 0:00:25.680,0:00:27.760 These men are usually intelligent. 0:00:27.760,0:00:29.960 But as students have difficulty focusing. 0:00:29.960,0:00:32.600 Most experience a traumatic childhood. 0:00:32.600,0:00:36.800 Often having being abused psychologically, physcially, or sexually. 0:00:36.800,0:00:39.880 Typically, they may be raised in unstable families 0:00:39.880,0:00:43.554 often with criminal psychiatric, alcholic histories. 0:00:43.554,0:00:47.840 Raised in such families, these children tend to spend much time on their own. 0:00:47.840,0:00:51.772 And as a result many praciticed animal cruelty at a young age. 0:01:11.480,0:01:16.686 Sometimes where, you know, you might not have extreme forms of physical abuse 0:01:16.686,0:01:20.600 there is always some extreme emotional or psychological 0:01:20.600,0:01:25.520 abuse that these young child are subjected to, which warps 0:01:25.520,0:01:27.095 them out of shape. 0:01:27.095,0:01:29.818 I mean one way or another they have come 0:01:29.818,0:01:32.400 to associate the infliction of pain with pleasure. 0:01:32.400,0:01:36.846 For example, John Wayne Gacy had an alcholic father who often beat him. 0:01:36.846,0:01:39.640 John senior would frequently insult the child, 0:01:39.640,0:01:43.840 practically eliminating his sef confidence which lead to later difficulties that 0:01:43.840,0:01:46.557 John junior would have with his masculinity. 0:01:47.080,0:01:50.760 As an adult, John began to rape and kill, eventually burying 29 0:01:50.760,0:01:53.212 bodies in a crawl space under his house. 0:01:53.212,0:01:55.689 As Gacy was quite popular in his comminity, 0:01:55.689,0:01:59.649 his neighbors couldn't believe that he was capable of such atrocities. 0:02:00.265,0:02:03.720 Most people who suffer as children grow out of it 0:02:03.720,0:02:06.920 and become upstanding, decent human beings. 0:02:06.920,0:02:11.760 But serial killers who have suffered as children, repeat 0:02:11.760,0:02:15.105 the same mistakes over the course of their lives. 0:02:15.105,0:02:18.200 They can't make the transitions into adulthood. 0:02:18.200,0:02:20.840 They have trouble making the transition in middle age. 0:02:20.840,0:02:24.560 At the very time in their lives when they feel that they should 0:02:24.560,0:02:26.760 be reaching the pinacle of success. 0:02:26.760,0:02:30.520 They find that they are sliding down hill fast. 0:02:30.520,0:02:33.760 They want to feel important,they want to feel special. 0:02:33.760,0:02:37.717 They crave the sense of power, dominance and control 0:02:37.717,0:02:41.702 but they simply can't achieve it in any respectable way. 0:02:41.702,0:02:46.040 So they kill and they tourture, and they sodomize and dismember. 0:02:46.040,0:02:48.591 That makes them feel good about themselves. 0:02:48.591,0:02:52.751 Ted Bundy was born into poverty and never knew his father 0:02:52.751,0:02:56.480 he had good grades in school but an unmanageable temper. 0:02:56.480,0:03:01.240 At the age of 16 he bacame a voyeur, obsessd with masturbating 0:03:01.240,0:03:04.449 who would have known that Bundy would become a serial murderer 0:03:04.449,0:03:07.298 and yet he killed many women. 0:03:08.622,0:03:11.680 Many Americans, when they think of a serial killer 0:03:11.680,0:03:16.594 will think of a glassy eyed lunitic, a monster. 0:03:16.594,0:03:20.200 Someone who acts that way,someone who looks that way. 0:03:20.200,0:03:26.003 But yet the typical serial killer is extraordinarily ordinary. 0:03:26.003,0:03:30.080 He is a white middle aged man 0:03:30.080,0:03:36.440 who has an insatiable appetite for power, control, and dominance. 0:03:36.440,0:03:40.600 He kills not for money or revenge. 0:03:40.600,0:03:42.920 But because it makes him feel good, 0:03:42.920,0:03:46.640 because he enjoys it, beacuse he has fun with it, he likes 0:03:46.640,0:03:51.160 the trill, the excitement, the exhilleration that the gets from 0:03:51.160,0:03:56.560 squeazing the last gasp of breath from his dying victim's body. 0:03:56.560,0:03:59.520 He enjoys the suffering on the part of the victim. 0:03:59.520,0:04:02.120 He tries to make it slow and painful. 0:04:02.120,0:04:05.465 It makes him feel superior to the extent that he makes 0:04:05.465,0:04:07.542 his victim inferior. 0:04:07.542,0:04:10.320 Gacy maintained a facad of respectability. 0:04:10.320,0:04:15.080 He maintained a business, a family, married with several children. 0:04:15.080,0:04:18.920 That facad was sufficient to cover his tracks 0:04:18.920,0:04:20.440 for many many years. 0:04:20.440,0:04:23.431 He enjoyed dressing up in a clown suits and clowning. 0:04:23.431,0:04:25.646 He said that clowns could get away with murder. 0:04:25.646,0:04:27.880 Then his wife left him and 0:04:27.880,0:04:30.120 his business started failing and at that point, 0:04:30.120,0:04:34.760 Gacy was caught, arrested and convicted. 0:04:34.760,0:04:38.600 And after three appeals in his case, Gacy was executed. 0:04:52.000,0:04:55.877 With 5% of the world's population, the United States produces 0:04:55.877,0:05:00.160 more serial killers than the rest of the world, accounting for 76% 0:05:00.160,0:05:02.037 of the national toll. 0:05:02.037,0:05:05.840 Europe produces the second most serial killers with 17%. 0:05:05.840,0:05:08.680 England leads European countries 28%, 0:05:08.680,0:05:11.800 followed by Germany at 27%. 0:05:11.800,0:05:13.262 California has the highest number 0:05:13.262,0:05:16.600 of serial homicide cases in the United States while New York, 0:05:16.600,0:05:19.418 Texas and Illinois follow closely behind. 0:05:19.418,0:05:23.040 Maine has the lowest number of serial homicide cases in the United States 0:05:23.040,0:05:27.831 and statistics reveal that 65% of serial killer vicitims are women. 0:05:28.954,0:05:32.000 A lady killer with a blood lost, and a temper out of control 0:05:32.000,0:05:35.769 in his 42 years, Bundy killed aproximately 36 young women. 0:05:35.938,0:05:38.760 No one really knows how many he killed. 0:05:38.760,0:05:41.760 Although, once a police officer asked Bundy, in shock, 0:05:41.760,0:05:44.000 how one person could kill 36 women, and 0:05:44.000,0:05:48.640 Bundy shook his head and said "Add one digit to that and you'll have it." 0:05:50.794,0:05:55.480 There are at most about 200 victims of serial killers per year. 0:05:55.480,0:06:00.320 That number although very large hails by comparison 0:06:00.320,0:06:06.268 with the almost 18,000 single vicitm murders in the United States 0:06:06.268,0:06:08.357 on a yearly basis. 0:06:08.357,0:06:12.262 The problem in the country is not serial murder. 0:06:12.262,0:06:15.680 It's domestic violence, it's workplace homicide 0:06:15.680,0:06:20.080 it's two guys going into a bar, one takes out a gun and shoots the other. 0:06:20.080,0:06:24.360 The problem on the other hand is that serial murders amass 0:06:24.360,0:06:25.935 a large body count. 0:06:25.935,0:06:31.680 We are talking about a small number of guys who do a lot of damage. 0:06:31.680,0:06:35.920 They may kill 5 or 10 or even 20 or more. 0:06:35.920,0:06:39.249 Some of them have killed hundreds. 0:06:39.249,0:06:44.154 That is enough to terrify most people in the country. 0:06:53.323,0:06:56.840 A cannible is person who eats human flesh. 0:06:56.840,0:07:00.840 There is much discussion as to whether canniblism is an inherent characteristic 0:07:00.840,0:07:03.560 of all human beings, our animal impulses. 0:07:03.560,0:07:07.440 Or whether canniblism stems only from the minds of mad beast 0:07:07.440,0:07:11.058 such as some of the most prolific serial killers. 0:07:11.720,0:07:14.520 Canniblism is the ultimate form of agression. 0:07:14.520,0:07:19.360 There are tribes around the world who 0:07:19.360,0:07:23.160 have incorperated canniblism into their warfare 0:07:23.160,0:07:25.498 so they achieve an ultimate victory. 0:07:25.498,0:07:31.138 Not only by killing their enemybut also by devouring their remains. 0:07:31.400,0:07:35.760 Serial killers like Andre Chicitillo, 0:07:35.760,0:07:39.480 have also incorperated sadism into their warfare. 0:07:39.480,0:07:47.920 They have in the most sadistic possible way, cannibalize their victims by 0:07:47.920,0:07:51.880 eating their hearts, or their eyes or their genitalia. 0:07:51.880,0:07:55.400 In an effort to achieve ultimate pain and suffering on the part 0:07:55.400,0:07:56.800 of the vicitm. 0:07:56.800,0:08:04.240 It's this sadistic impulse that feeds the frail and fragile 0:08:04.240,0:08:10.400 ego of a serial killer who desires so much, so desperately to 0:08:10.400,0:08:15.360 achieve a sense of power over other human beings and canniblism 0:08:15.360,0:08:18.449 is the means whereby that happens. 0:08:18.449,0:08:24.492 Anthropological evidence seems to suggest that canniblism is some kind activity, 0:08:24.492,0:08:29.594 that our pre-humaned ancesstors indulged in with a certain 0:08:29.594,0:08:31.480 amount of regularity. 0:08:31.480,0:08:34.582 So i think that there is probably some sort of innate impulse 0:08:34.582,0:08:36.520 towards that kind of activity. 0:08:36.520,0:08:39.000 One of the things that we see with 0:08:39.000,0:08:49.480 serial killers, I believe is that they kind of act out very archaic 0:08:49.480,0:08:56.846 primitive impulses that clearly still exist on some very very deep level. 0:08:56.846,0:09:00.760 Canniblisms that you'll hear are from these mentally ill, psychotic types 0:09:00.760,0:09:05.960 that they are consuming their victim to make their victim 0:09:05.960,0:09:11.040 part of them so that they can keep them and have them always. 0:09:11.040,0:09:17.317 Any serial killer that resorts to canniblism is doing so as a last resort, 0:09:17.317,0:09:20.120 out of desperation. 0:09:20.120,0:09:23.600 Certaily whether if it's for sadism or affection, 0:09:23.600,0:09:34.369 any serial killer who canniblizes his vicitims has broken one of the most provasive 0:09:34.369,0:09:37.858 and profound taboos in all of society. 0:09:37.858,0:09:41.160 Psychologically, this means that the killer 0:09:41.160,0:09:45.640 achieved just the opposite that he had hoped. 0:09:45.640,0:09:48.637 He may get a temporary rush, 0:09:48.637,0:09:52.492 he may feel temporarily high, but in terms of his ego, in terms of 0:09:52.492,9:59:59.000 self image he has got...
