FFS the universal language of woman hating and exploiting power.
I feel quite low today.

Sorry I don't get your point.
Being a serial killer is incredibly rare in the general population.
I'm not sure why you said about it not being uncommon.
Am I missing something?
Maybe easier to ask what point you were trying to make! That's probably more straightforward!

I wonder what made him stop so suddenly. At the age of 35.
I believe Jaycee Dugard confirmed the perp in her case never molested again after the birth of her second child. Found God, apparently. Didn't release her or her kids though.

Some serial killers will commit suicide either when they are caught and face trial or when they are in prison for a long sentence with no prospect of release. Have no figures for that but criminologists will know whether that's a pattern and there must be statistics somewhere.

I was reading about this, one of the criminologists said that although there had never been a survey done asking them, there were a few ideas based on specific examples. Sometimes they think they become afraid of getting caught, or have a close call. Some find other outlets for their issues. And they think for some it's age, either they are no longer physically robust or they become less driven by whatever makes them want to do it and perhaps more stable. There is some thought that hormonal changes might be part of it.

In this case as I understand it he'd been caught in a DNA sweep of all retired police officers who'd been in the right place at the right time in an attempt to solve these historic cases, and so he knew that conviction was inevitable as soon as they'd processed the results.
But since they'd assumed the perpetrator was a police officer all along I don't understand why it took so long to do systematic DNA testing.
