If you watch a lot of True Crime you quickly notice that half of all serial killers are in law enforcement or retired police officers themselves.
Or tried to be police but failed.

In my experience with true crime, the criminals who really take steps to cover for themselves and do so effectively are very rare. Everyone else is an idiot who either gets caught pretty quick or gets lucky by getting incompetent police investigating them.

So what you are saying is that planning and executing multiple homicide is stupid?
I guess what I'm saying is if you are considering a multiple homicide, you probably aren't as smart as you think you are.

I liked this VF article. I think they hit the right balance between talking about the victims and the suspect.

They should talk about the killer like "this guy was a big fat dumbass nerd who was clearly lashing out because of his tiny peen" to dissuade copycats
This is literally true regarding the Golden State Killer.
