1 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,071 Over 90% of serial killers are white males. 2 00:00:23,071 --> 00:00:25,680 Usually from low to middle class backgrounds. 3 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,760 These men are usually intelligent. 4 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,960 But as students have difficulty focusing. 5 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,600 Most experience a traumatic childhood. 6 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,800 Often having being abused psychologically, physcially, or sexually. 7 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,880 Typically, they may be raised in unstable families 8 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,554 often with criminal psychiatric, alcholic histories. 9 00:00:43,554 --> 00:00:47,840 Raised in such families, these children tend to spend much time on their own. 10 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,772 And as a result many praciticed animal cruelty at a young age. 11 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,686 Sometimes where, you know, you might not have extreme forms of physical abuse 12 00:01:16,686 --> 00:01:20,600 there is always some extreme emotional or psychological 13 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,520 abuse that these young child are subjected to, which warps 14 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,095 them out of shape. 15 00:01:27,095 --> 00:01:29,818 I mean one way or another they have come 16 00:01:29,818 --> 00:01:32,400 to associate the infliction of pain with pleasure. 17 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,846 For example, John Wayne Gacy had an alcholic father who often beat him. 18 00:01:36,846 --> 00:01:39,640 John senior would frequently insult the child, 19 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,840 practically eliminating his sef confidence which lead to later difficulties that 20 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,557 John junior would have with his masculinity. 21 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,760 As an adult, John began to rape and kill, eventually burying 29 22 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,212 bodies in a crawl space under his house. 23 00:01:53,212 --> 00:01:55,689 As Gacy was quite popular in his comminity, 24 00:01:55,689 --> 00:01:59,649 his neighbors couldn't believe that he was capable of such atrocities. 25 00:02:00,265 --> 00:02:03,720 Most people who suffer as children grow out of it 26 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,920 and become upstanding, decent human beings. 27 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,760 But serial killers who have suffered as children, repeat 28 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,105 the same mistakes over the course of their lives. 29 00:02:15,105 --> 00:02:18,200 They can't make the transitions into adulthood. 30 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840 They have trouble making the transition in middle age. 31 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,560 At the very time in their lives when they feel that they should 32 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,760 be reaching the pinacle of success. 33 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,520 They find that they are sliding down hill fast. 34 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,760 They want to feel important,they want to feel special. 35 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,717 They crave the sense of power, dominance and control 36 00:02:37,717 --> 00:02:41,702 but they simply can't achieve it in any respectable way. 37 00:02:41,702 --> 00:02:46,040 So they kill and they tourture, and they sodomize and dismember. 38 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,591 That makes them feel good about themselves. 39 00:02:48,591 --> 00:02:52,751 Ted Bundy was born into poverty and never knew his father 40 00:02:52,751 --> 00:02:56,480 he had good grades in school but an unmanageable temper. 41 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,240 At the age of 16 he bacame a voyeur, obsessd with masturbating 42 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,449 who would have known that Bundy would become a serial murderer 43 00:03:04,449 --> 00:03:07,298 and yet he killed many women. 44 00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:11,680 Many Americans, when they think of a serial killer 45 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,594 will think of a glassy eyed lunitic, a monster. 46 00:03:16,594 --> 00:03:20,200 Someone who acts that way,someone who looks that way. 47 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:26,003 But yet the typical serial killer is extraordinarily ordinary. 48 00:03:26,003 --> 00:03:30,080 He is a white middle aged man 49 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,440 who has an insatiable appetite for power, control, and dominance. 50 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,600 He kills not for money or revenge. 51 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,920 But because it makes him feel good, 52 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,640 because he enjoys it, beacuse he has fun with it, he likes 53 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,160 the trill, the excitement, the exhilleration that the gets from 54 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,560 squeazing the last gasp of breath from his dying victim's body. 55 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,520 He enjoys the suffering on the part of the victim. 56 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,120 He tries to make it slow and painful. 57 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,465 It makes him feel superior to the extent that he makes 58 00:04:05,465 --> 00:04:07,542 his victim inferior. 59 00:04:07,542 --> 00:04:10,320 Gacy maintained a facad of respectability. 60 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,080 He maintained a business, a family, married with several children. 61 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,920 That facad was sufficient to cover his tracks 62 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,440 for many many years. 63 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,431 He enjoyed dressing up in a clown suits and clowning. 64 00:04:23,431 --> 00:04:25,646 He said that clowns could get away with murder. 65 00:04:25,646 --> 00:04:27,880 Then his wife left him and 66 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,120 his business started failing and at that point, 67 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,760 Gacy was caught, arrested and convicted. 68 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,600 And after three appeals in his case, Gacy was executed. 69 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,877 With 5% of the world's population, the United States produces 70 00:04:55,877 --> 00:05:00,160 more serial killers than the rest of the world, accounting for 76% 71 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,037 of the national toll. 72 00:05:02,037 --> 00:05:05,840 Europe produces the second most serial killers with 17%. 73 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,680 England leads European countries 28%, 74 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,800 followed by Germany at 27%. 75 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,262 California has the highest number 76 00:05:13,262 --> 00:05:16,600 of serial homicide cases in the United States while New York, 77 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,418 Texas and Illinois follow closely behind. 78 00:05:19,418 --> 00:05:23,040 Maine has the lowest number of serial homicide cases in the United States 79 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,831 and statistics reveal that 65% of serial killer vicitims are women. 80 00:05:28,954 --> 00:05:32,000 A lady killer with a blood lost, and a temper out of control 81 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,769 in his 42 years, Bundy killed aproximately 36 young women. 82 00:05:35,938 --> 00:05:38,760 No one really knows how many he killed. 83 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760 Although, once a police officer asked Bundy, in shock, 84 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,000 how one person could kill 36 women, and 85 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,640 Bundy shook his head and said "Add one digit to that and you'll have it." 86 00:05:50,794 --> 00:05:55,480 There are at most about 200 victims of serial killers per year. 87 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,320 That number although very large hails by comparison 88 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:06,268 with the almost 18,000 single vicitm murders in the United States 89 00:06:06,268 --> 00:06:08,357 on a yearly basis. 90 00:06:08,357 --> 00:06:12,262 The problem in the country is not serial murder. 91 00:06:12,262 --> 00:06:15,680 It's domestic violence, it's workplace homicide 92 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,080 it's two guys going into a bar, one takes out a gun and shoots the other. 93 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,360 The problem on the other hand is that serial murders amass 94 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,935 a large body count. 95 00:06:25,935 --> 00:06:31,680 We are talking about a small number of guys who do a lot of damage. 96 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,920 They may kill 5 or 10 or even 20 or more. 97 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,249 Some of them have killed hundreds. 98 00:06:39,249 --> 00:06:44,154 That is enough to terrify most people in the country. 99 00:06:53,323 --> 00:06:56,840 A cannible is person who eats human flesh. 100 00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:00,840 There is much discussion as to whether canniblism is an inherent characteristic 101 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:03,560 of all human beings, our animal impulses. 102 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,440 Or whether canniblism stems only from the minds of mad beast 103 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,058 such as some of the most prolific serial killers. 104 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520 Canniblism is the ultimate form of agression. 105 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,360 There are tribes around the world who 106 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,160 have incorperated canniblism into their warfare 107 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,498 so they achieve an ultimate victory. 108 00:07:25,498 --> 00:07:31,138 Not only by killing their enemybut also by devouring their remains. 109 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,760 Serial killers like Andre Chicitillo, 110 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,480 have also incorperated sadism into their warfare. 111 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:47,920 They have in the most sadistic possible way, cannibalize their victims by 112 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,880 eating their hearts, or their eyes or their genitalia. 113 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,400 In an effort to achieve ultimate pain and suffering on the part 114 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,800 of the vicitm. 115 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:04,240 It's this sadistic impulse that feeds the frail and fragile 116 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:10,400 ego of a serial killer who desires so much, so desperately to 117 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,360 achieve a sense of power over other human beings and canniblism 118 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,449 is the means whereby that happens. 119 00:08:18,449 --> 00:08:24,492 Anthropological evidence seems to suggest that canniblism is some kind activity, 120 00:08:24,492 --> 00:08:29,594 that our pre-humaned ancesstors indulged in with a certain 121 00:08:29,594 --> 00:08:31,480 amount of regularity. 122 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,582 So i think that there is probably some sort of innate impulse 123 00:08:34,582 --> 00:08:36,520 towards that kind of activity. 124 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,000 One of the things that we see with 125 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:49,480 serial killers, I believe is that they kind of act out very archaic 126 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:56,846 primitive impulses that clearly still exist on some very very deep level. 127 00:08:56,846 --> 00:09:00,760 Canniblisms that you'll hear are from these mentally ill, psychotic types 128 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,960 that they are consuming their victim to make their victim 129 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,040 part of them so that they can keep them and have them always. 130 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,317 Any serial killer that resorts to canniblism is doing so as a last resort, 131 00:09:17,317 --> 00:09:20,120 out of desperation. 132 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Certaily whether if it's for sadism or affection, 133 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:34,369 any serial killer who canniblizes his vicitims has broken one of the most provasive 134 00:09:34,369 --> 00:09:37,858 and profound taboos in all of society. 135 00:09:37,858 --> 00:09:41,160 Psychologically, this means that the killer 136 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,640 achieved just the opposite that he had hoped. 137 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,637 He may get a temporary rush, 138 00:09:48,637 --> 00:09:52,492 he may feel temporarily high, but in terms of his ego, in terms of 139 00:09:52,492 --> 99:59:59,999 self image he has got...
