Kolme Korkeudet Oy American Female Serial Killers The Full Encyclopedia of American Female Serial Killers by Brian Berry
America has a long and complicated fascination with serial killers. When we think about the most infamous of these killers, we generally think of men like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, or John Wayne Gacy. Those names make headlines while there's the often-repeated myth that suggests there are no female serial killers. After all, most of us couldn't name a woman on the same scale of infamy at BTK or the elusive Zodiac Killer, can we? As it so often is, the truth is far more complicated. Women kill. While they are less sensationalized than their male counterparts, they are no less deadly. At time of publication, current research shows that one in six serial killers are female, bringing their number to fifteen percent of confirmed serial killers. This reference book includes background information on the killers, their victims, methods, and - where relevant - their arrests, trials, and convictions.
